White Business Men Aid Negro College White Business Men Aid Negro College (By The Associated Negro Press) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 16—That Philander Smith College is looked upon as a distinct asset to this section, is indicated in the gifts of leading business firms here toward the $100,000 drive for the institution. Commenting upon the campaign, D. T. Henderson, chairman, said: "I do not believe there has ben any sort of movement which has met with a more sympathetic response than this effort to help Philander Smith College. Since Monday, two of the largest concerns in the city have told the campaign committee that they will give any amount within reason, to guarantee completion of the $4,000 quota assigned the white citizenship." The General Education Board has agreed to give $25,000 to the institution if citizens will raise $100,000. Negro Citizens have already subscribed and contributed more than $51,000 and with the $49,000 from the white group the gift seems assured. An effort is being made to interest the Rosenwald Fund in the institution. GOLDEN STATE DIRECTORS ENTERTAINED Wednesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Johnson entertained the Golden State directors and their wives at their home on East 28th Street. All together there were some thirty five or forty guest present.

ROSE HILL PARK HEFLIN FURNITURE MANUFACTURING COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS HOLD ROUSING MEETING AT ITS PLANT ON LAST SATURDAY EVENING Nigh unto 300 stockholders responded to the call for the Annual Stockholders Meeting of the Company at its factory on Santa Ana Boulevard, South Los Angeles at 8:30 P. M. on last Saturday evening. When we say its own plant we mean to convey the idea that it is a real manufacturing plant. It is large, faultlessly constructed and massive. Both interior and exterior are pleasing to the eye, it is a high credit not alone to the company but the city as well. Negroes Attempt To Lynch Street Car OFFICERS MAKE ANNUAL REPORT The report of the president, Mr Leon Heflin was read and was indeed a revelation most agreeably so. For despite every handicap it disclosed a growing and progressive program. It disclosed assets of more than $290,000.00 and liabilities of only about $26,000.00. The report was the occasion of quite a revival of enthusiasm and from this report it is evident even to those who are confirmed pessimists, that the Heflin company is on its way for the real success which it deserves. STOCKHOLDERS ACT ON ATTITUDE OF NEGRO UN. DERTAKERS During the reading of the president's report it was disclosed that in the business of manufacturing and sale of caskets (which has now become a part of the company's products that the undertakers of the white group had patronized the output of the factory to the extent of $17,000.00 or more, and that our own group who had buried more than 500 bodies last year had only patronized this firm to the extent of $68.50. This situation exists until this day despite the fact that local undertakers of the group have been importuned to give at least a share of its paragon to the Heflin Co. owned by Negroes and the product turned out in its entirety by them. AROUSE INDIGNATION This feature of the president's report aroused the ire of the 300 stockholders present and by unanimous vote after much discussion was adopted appointing a special committee to wait upon the local undertakers and, report back to a special meeting of the stockholders called for June 10th. In other words this large group of men and women want to know "IF NOT WHY NOT" Learning out of School There are many men who are not able to register in night schools or elsewhere, because of pressure of work or lack of regular periods of leisure, or for other reasons. These men can, however, make definite educational progress by means of systematic reading, provided they know exactly what they need and can get it when they want it. It is to these adult students, outside of formal organizations for study, that the public library offers a great service. All that is required of the reader is a willingness to go to the library and frankly tell the librarian what type of book he wants to read or upon which subject he wishes to inform himself.

LOUIS, Mo., May 13, J (By the Associated Negro Press) A throng of Negroes attempted to lynch a street car crew of a Kirkwood-Ferguson car which struck and killed Drew Ellis, 12 year-old boy, last Friday in front of his home, $609 Rose Avenue, Brentwood. Someone said that the car did not slow down when the child was seen a half-block ahead on the right-of-way at Rose Avenue, which ends in a fence at the car tracks. The boy was on his way home from school. The car crew placed the boy's dead body on a car bound for Clayton and attempted to proceed on their run, but were prevented until police arrived by a crowd of colored people who pulled the troley from the wire. In the twinkling of an eye, "as it were, a sympathetic, curious assembly became a mob of maniacs. "Don't let them get away with that crime!" shouted a resentful colored man. "Make them suffer for killing this child!" screamed a tall young woman with a stone in her hand. At this juncture police appeared on the scene, and, with drawn revolvers, rescued the street car crew, John W. Grote and Oscar Koeneker, white, respectively, motorman and conductor, who were almost scared to death. A coroner's verdict of criminal carlessness was returned Saturday, holding the street car men for the grand jury. Minister and Church Funds Missing (By The Associated Negro Press) KINSTON, N. C., May 14.—Rev. W. L. Hamlin, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church, here is missing and along with the pastor are funds of the church which total some eight hundred dollars. So eager are the members of the church to find their pastor and their funds, 100, the have had a warrant issued for his arrest. According to the reports to the trustees, Rev. Hamblin recently started a rally to purchase a pipe organ and the funds were reposited in a local bank, with Richard Green, prominent merchant as treasurer. Tuesday when the first payment was to be made led to the discovery that the funds were not in the bank, having ben withdrawn by the pastor or who was out of the city. When Rev. Hamblin returned, he heard the report and immediately took "French Leave" and since that time has A. W. O. L. and Quick Methods for Shee Metal Workers z z z z z Koch—Methods of Retail Management Rev. (Bob) Shuler and His "Address to the Colored People of Los Angeles" BY: JOHN E. PROWD Thursday evening, just before going to press, I "listened in" on the Key. (Bob) Shuler's "Address to the Colored People of Los Angeles" (as he termed it). In this "address" he told of references that could be secured from a few Colored preachers in two or three towns which he named in Texas; he told of his appreciation of the Colored people; he told of peanut politicians who pledged the Colored people's vote; he told of how the administration kept vice in the Colored people's "section" (never leaving Central Avenue); he told the Colored people to vote for John C. Porter for Mayor, who would give them more consideration than they have received so far; he told the Colored people that he would continue his "address to the Colored People of Los Angeles" on the 30th of this month. In other words, it simmered down to a political message to "The Colored People of Los Angeles." I have listened to "Bob" twice (as I remember correctly) in my fourteen years in this town; and am convinced that he is the most wishy.washy, wahy speaker I have ever heard for a supposedly from line representative of this great town of the West. In other words, he reminds me much of the frog (which I observed often as a boy) which jumps from place to place with no special direction. Now, to get down to brass tacks, I don't appreciate (and I don't think I am alone) any individual singing me out and closing me with a group to direct any particular talk to in public affairs. Public affairs are public affairs, and need no individual color, class or what not to make it a whole. I feel that I am an integral part of this government, a property owner, a tax player, and honest, hard worker and above all, a law abider. In other words, I feel that I possess all the qualifications that go to make up a good, respectable and loyal citizen. Now then, when it comes to matters concerning this government, I ask, and seek no special consideration as a Negro; all I want and all I will ever demand is an equal recognition before the law and a rating on my merits. I don't need any petty appointment after some official has gained office, but I do want, (as long as I pay taxes to help create those offices and pay the men that fill them) after I have pitted my brain and brawn with any competitor—white or black—in a civil service examination, to be recognized and accepted on merit alone, and not my color. I take exception to the Rev Bob Shuler singling out the Negro to tell him of the 'probable' appointment of a few of them, should John C. Porter be elected to office. If you have a political message for the citizenry of Los Angeles, Rev. Shuler, I might listen to it, but singling me out for one talk, and some others for another, in civic and public affairs is taboo in this part of the country, where, you say, the restless, thinking people of brains and higher ideals—white and black—have trekked. Again; socially I want to be separate and apart, for if I am to judge the white race of this town by their measure of me—the action of one causing judgment to be passed on the whole—then just one glance at the daily papers of the conditions exist in Hollywood and elsewhere in this town (socially) is enough to make me feel my superiority and never my inferiority, which the Caucasian preaches. But, again I say, politically I expect to be counted among the masses, and don't for one minute appreciate any effort or attempt on your part or any other individual to "group." "class" or "section" me on the public affairs which concern this citizenry in Los Angeles as a whole. Farewell, Rev. Shuler, you will be sure to be short one "listener in" on your next "address to the Colored People of Los Angeles;" and let's hope many more, for we don't need that psychology or propaganda that you (probably unintentionally) endeavoring to create in this town. GRAND UNITED ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS OBSERVE ANNUAL THANKSGIVING Last Sunday was a gala day for the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Felows throughout its jurisdiction, which includes America, England and the Isles of the sea. DUNBAR HOSPITAL ESTABLISHES FREE BED FOR POOR Realizing the great need of Hospitalization for the Group, the Dunbar Hospital Trustees at this time when the entire nation is thinking of Hospitalization, has seized this opportunity to establish a FREE BED in the Hospital, and in so doing is giving the community an opportunity to assist in this worthy effort. The local voles consist of Los Angeles Lodge, Golden Rule, Peter Oden, the various Households, Juveniles, Patriarchies and etc., turned in our full force in one mighty procession, which formed at Odd Fellows Hall, headed by one of the city's crack bands, marched north on Wall Street to 7th East on 7th to Towne Ave. south on Towne to the 8th and Towne Avenue Church. Here our procession was received by quite 500 members of the Household of Ruth and Juveniles. Appropriate Thanksgiving services were rendered with a program fitting for the great occasion. The Rev. J. W. Price preached a wonderful sermon which was declared the greatest of its kind ever delivered. The Grand Master, Grand Most Notle Governor, and District Grand officers were present and seated on the platform. ODD FELLOWS BENEFIT ASSOCIATION The Board of the Order inaugurated at San Jose in 1921 is indeed the outstanding accomplishment of the Order. The Odd Fellows proper is headed by Mr. A. B. Caviel of Vallejo who has served since its incipiency and has so conducted the beneficiary department that it is acclaimed as the acme of accomplishment and service to mankind. A. B. Caviel It has relieved the distressed care for the widow and orphan and stands as a bulwark for the protection of its members. To those who can qualify it is a DUNBAR HOSPITI FREE BED Realizing the great need of the Dunbar Hospital Trustees a tion is thinking of Hospitalization to establish a FREE BED in t giving the community an oppo effort. As a consequence in observing Hospital Day on last Sunday, May 12th, the doors of Dunbar Hospital were opened for general inspection and visitation. A goodly number of our forward looking citizens took advantage of this occasion as evidenced by the steady stream of visitors who came between the hours of 2 P. M. to 3 P. M. The committee of ladies and the officers of the hospital acted as a reception committee and made everyone at home and, courteously indeed, escorted them through the institution and explained every detail. In connection with the free bed which has been established by the officers, donations and contributions of every kind will assist greatly in the maintenance of this very worthy effort. Every citizen is invited to share in becoming a part and parcel to this laudable effort and have but to communicate with or visit the hospital for the same. You wana go places an' do things? Well, go to the Philharmonic and do' the KIDDIES MINSTREL June 10th. God send and gives the maximum of protection at the very smallest cost. Therefore to be an Odd Fellow, one gains not only the benefit of fraternity, but a better substantial insurance as it were than it is otherwise possible to procure. The Beneficiary Department has been most atly and successfully conducted with Mr. Caviel as its secretary and Treasurer and is a high credit, it not only to the order but the entire citizenship as well. HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH In this Department the Peter Ozden Benefit has functioned wonderfully and well. Mrs. Eliza Warner of its secretary has rendered valiant service and side by side, she has been to the Woman's Department what Caviel has been to the men. Mrs. Warner is also the treasurer of the Odd Fellows Home Association, which is located near Fresno. Brother of Slain Man Urge Posse to let Law Take its Course (By The Associated Negro Press) CLARKSDALE. Miss., May 15.—While a posse of more than one hundred men, with bloodhounds, is combing this section for Jim West, accused of shooting to death V. A. Dickerson, a white man, brothers of the slain man are urging the citizens to permit the law to take its course, if the fugitive is captured. The shooting occurred on the Dickerson plantation when West was ordered off the place because he was using obscene language. Becoming in censed, West drew a revolver and shot the white man to death. It is said that he was intoxicated at the time, but not to intoxicated to make for the high aimers. REAL ESTABLISHES FOR POOR Of Hospitalization for the Group, at this time when the entire nation, has seized this opportunity the Hospital, and in so doing is opportunity to assist in this worthy Prominent Eastern Divine Passes (Special Calif. Eagle) Uashville, Tenn., May 14.—Rev. Lucius Drance Died in Chicago nine thirty Tuesday morning at Daly Hospital Southside after 10 days illness. He was pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church, 218 North Ada Streets. Was preparing to celebrate his 12th Anniversary as Pastor. A member of the National Baptist Convention of America, Chairman of B. Y. P. U. Board of Convention. Leaves wife and score of relatives. Was native Tennessee and formerly pastord in Ashville and Chattanooga. News of death phoned to Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville Dr. Drance was one of the outstanding divines of his day and a host of friends throughout the country will mourn his passing. DR. RUTH TEMPLE who is one of the busiest little women in this great city took time from her manifold duties this week, to write a nice little letter expressing her appreciation for the continued improvement on the appearance and news value of the California Eagle. Thank you, Dr. Temple, may we in turn express our deepest appreciation for the task you're performing for the reconstruction of fallen humanity. As we read your column we hope with a degree of fervency that the youth of the land will read and be profited by your advice. SOME OF THE HIGH LIGHTS touched in the address made by Superintendent Frank A. Bouelle before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People last Sunday afternoon at the First A. M. E. Zion Church were: First—That the City of Los Angeles was spending annually $34,000,000 building humans—that included in Los Angeles system of Education was the health of the child. Second—His periods of play and leisure, and Third—His character building. Prof. Bouelle who is a native California, and having been identified with te public school work of Los Angeles City for the past forty years is deeply sympathetic with child training and the advancement of education in his own city and state. Members and friends of the Association present last Sunday were highly pleased with the address of Prof. Bouelle, and at the conclusion of the same Prof. Banks motioned the Association that the organization send Prof. Bouelle the "crisis" for one year, the motion was seconded by Mr. Titus Alexander and carried. MISS HAZEL GOTTSCHALK, who was in charge of the afternoon's musical program proved to be a master at the pipe organ. The solos by Mrs. Oswald Criezot and Evelyn Horton Slomon, were also illuminating numbers on the afternoon program. DR. H. CLAUDE HUDSON, energetic President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, presented Mr. Trius Alexander to the Association and he is turn presented Mr. Chapin of the Water and Power Department of the City and Mr. Chapin, in a few words described the growth and development of the city and predicted what the development of the Boulder Dam would mean to the furtherance of Los Angeles. THE NEXT Association speaker, Mr. Tufele, the little Samoan dynamic speaker was also presented to the body by Atty. Leon Whittaker and left in the minds of the many a turning desire to hear his message from our dark brothers in the South Sea Islands. MOTHERS' DAY was befittingly observed by the many churches of the city last Sunday. Flowers, candies and sweet words of love and appreciation were extended to Mothers present, while tender thoughts lingered near the tombs that marked the resting places of those who have crossed the great divide. MRS. HOMER DEAN was in charge of a health program, at which Dr. A. C. Garrott was the principal speake last Sunday evening at the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church of which Rev. E. E. Lightner is pastor. Dr. Garrott's lecture on the care of the teeth is one that should be heard by every Los Angeles audience. THE FEDERATED CLUBS, sponsored a brilliant literary program and pageant at the First A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday evening which was attended by a popular and highly appreciative audience. LAST SUNDAY morning the Rev. (Bob) Shuler, while speaking on the old fashion mother vs. the new "fangled" mother, called attention to the Hickman crime which furnished the black sheet in Los Angeles' book of crime events for 1928. Among other things he said that Hickman's father felt that his son had disgraced him and possibly should be hanged, but in drawing the comparison between Mother's and Father's love, he said that young Hickman's mother held on to the last, with hope that she might save her son from the gallows. Mr. Shuler's argument against local and national crime is very convincing and when I hear him send up one of those feeling prayers I can but wonder sometimes, how and why he does not include in his crusade, his Black American brother.

The writer extends his sympathy to Lawrence Cloyd and the several Pullman Porters who were left behind to protect their cars on the desert.

To which he replied, "There is not a doubt in my mind about that, only the time is not ripe as yet. We do our own financing and do not take our troubles to the public. We feel that we owe the pleasure of the game to the public and we derive our pleasure out of giving it.

THE SYPHILITIC CHILD PUBERTY Last week you remember we talked about the syphilic baby and the marks which marred its existence. We stated that as a rule that all babies born with syphilis showed some sign of the disease within the first 3 months of life. This is the rule, Some exceptions, however, occur. The signs of the disease in the infant may not appear until the 5th month and then again though the baby is born with syphilis, all signs may be suppressed during infancy only to break out in full form when the girl or boy reaches puberty or adolescence. No hint that the child has the disease may be evident until the "second teeth appear, and then the two middle teeth in the upper jaw may tell the story, "Hutchinson's teeth" or teeth in the location described in the proceeding sentence are pegged, shaped, rather short teeth, with a very characteristic notch in the center of the lower edge—the teeth are not characteristically discolored. The fact that Syphilis, both in the acquired form and the hereditary or congenital form is such a long drawn-out affair suggests the question as to treatment of the disease. Fortunately syphilis can be treated and if the disease is taken in its earliest stages the results often are remarkable. Any mother or any father who suspects that he or she has syphilis or to put it the better way: any mother or father who does not have reason to feel that they are practically certain that they are free from the disease should at once, without delay, be offered an efficient physician for examination and necessary care; that the unborn baby may have the great advantage derived from the early treatment of syphilic parents. Our next issue will relate the remarkable case of a little mother who followed this advise. PORTERS LEADER CONFERS WITH UNITED STATES MEDIATION BOARD WASHINGTON, D. C. May 8—A Philip Randolph, president and General Organizer of The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters held two conferences with members of the United States Mediation Board on the question of the board intervening to prevent the holding of the Pullman Wage Conference, pending an investigation of the results of the election of delegates to said conference. The mediation board members and the secretary accepted the representation and offdavits and charges made by the Brotherhood and indicated that the same would be duly considered in the next meeting of the Board which would take place May 13th. The Mediation Board has already addressed a letter to The Pullman Company, when informed of the intimidation and coercion practiced by the Company on the Porters in order to compel them to vote for the Company's Union denial of their right to organize of Railway Employees without interference of coercion, is clear and not susceptible to misinterpretation. The Brotherhood contends that The Pullman Company did not fairly secure the majority of the porters to vote for the wage conference and that said conference is illegal and irregular. Bandit Killed "In Dress Rehearsal" Bandit Killed "In Dress Rehearsal" (By the Associated Negro Press) New York City, May 13.—The arrest of Leon Farmer, George Lewis, and Richard Roberts, here Wednesday disclosed that a murder had been committed February th.

His remark about "pseudo-Republicans," has not set any too well with some of the belligerents, and they will lose no opportunity to show their indignation. Rumors of an all summer session has not improved the tempers of most f them. The Republican leader, senator Watson, has been talking of a three week recess. It will be a very good thing. Give some of the revolutionists time to cool off before they are compelled to face the humid atmosphere of a Washington summer. The way that things look at present; with the farm bill still in the debating stage in the Senate, and the tariff clamoring for recognition, the prospects for an all summer session seems good. Joseph Chapiro, writing in the Berlinger Tageblatt, says: "The American Negro has an influence that is cosmical as well as comical." New York's Harlem rouses slumbering America, forms a pan-African union, oversees the labors of the League of Nations, where a special committee busies itself with colonies. When he says that, "The Black Belt Now Circles Our Globe," He means that the influence of the minds amanating from Harlem is having a cultural effect on the minds of "Black Folk" the world over. Art, letters, music, and culture of the twentieth century are all profoundly influenced by the Negro, and he is becoming conscious of his emerging power. "He speaks of the tendency of the Negro to study the place of his origin and, although he has an atavistic concern in the haunts of his ancestors, he by no means neglects the other parts of the world. The influence of Negro art and letters is being made evident by the amount of criticism, adverse and favorable, which it receives. The poems of the black writers, their paintings and compositions of music are leaving their impress, and the contacts made by eminent Negroes abroad have done much the pernicious attacks and propaganda of vicious Americans, in acquainting the world with his true status. It has overcome who painted him as an ogre and fiend with unhuman tendencies. Negroes, refined and educated, with means to travel, have dissipated that impression and caused a favorable attitude among the foreign nations of the world. To great stress cannot be placed on the worth while attempts of the American Negro to reach a cultural goal. It has been mooted that because of the indiscretions of some Negro screen artists engaged in the filming of "All Negro Pictures" that the promoters have placed a ban on any more such productions. It does not seem possible that such should be the case. It does not say of what, "Moral Turpitude" consists. It may have been no more than some publicity stunt of which, we lay people unsophisticated in the lore of the stage and screen, have no knowledge. Then, again; it seems the apex of folly to stop the wheels of an entire industry because one of the cogs have broken. Mend the cog and let the wheels continue to turn. What if the wheels of the filming art should have ceased to turn because of the indiscretions of some of the greatest of the screen artists? Well, pretty near all of the show houses would be dark. What if some dusky screen artist did the "Kerchoo" whatever that is, for we plead guilty to a sparse knowledge of stage technic,—in some public cafe? Did they close up all of the studios because of the violations of public decency which the public press heralded throughout christendom? Let us not be so squeamish. If all Negro pictures continue to pay the promoters, and they will, they will be screened. There will always be some people, no difference the color, who will ape the worst and think it the proper thing to do. As long as we can bring our Vivian Smiths, "Stepin Fetchit" and the many worthy people who are winning screen fame we can easily overlook the indiscreet actions of some others. Probably they are not as bad as painted. We wonder if the "Time is not Ripe" for the United States government to make some public acknowledgement, accompanied by some substantial recognition, of the man who stood by Comodore Peary when he planted "Old Glory" at the top of the world and created an epoch in American history. The great explorer paid high tribute to the courage and stability of MAT HENSON, his Negro associate in the great adventure, but the Government to which they brought fame has failed so far to recognize the feat of the sole survivor of the memorable trip to the North Pole by any act. When Lindbergh made his famous trip across the ocean, his feat was acknowledged and he was feted and medaled and given the proper recognition due. Mat Henson braved the rigors of the unknown Arctic, encouraged his commander by his own fortitude, received the commendation of his commander, yet the governnet for for which he faced untold suffering and privations has failed to give the least recognition to his exploit. President Hoover is a practical man of science. He understands: What more grateful act could be performed than a recommendation to Congress that some action be taken to recognize the service rendered the government by Matthew Henson. The California grape is being charged with being an accessory to the prolific orgie of crime which is sweeping the country and is going to be followed by some minion of the law from vine to tat in order to see just what his influence for bad might be. So says Dr. Doran of the Federal Prohibition enforcement Bureau. Poor uncle grape! Give a dog a bad name, but just why Dr. Doran seeks to fasten the evils of the day on our grape is not obvious. Just imagine our lucious fruit of the vine being accused of all the gang murders, racketeering, and all other crimes on the callender. Is it possible that when we sit down for an intimate companionship with him and pluck from the stem the sun kissed fruit, that we will have to peep around the corner of the veranda to find if some sleuth of the prohibition law is not in hiding to drag us off to the "Hoosegow" because we want to feel the caressing influence of his unfermented blood. What if bad men seek to nullify his goodness? Mr. California Grape can't help it if men, women and even little children love him. He was raised in the glorious sunshine of a glorious State. He is inclined to goodness; he gives his invigorating blood to the invalid, and his cheer has dispersed the gloom. Now comes the bad Dr. Doran, armed with millions of dollars, to blackmail the good character of California grape. If "Old Grape" gets real angry and rears up to ferment we don't blame him. No business to cast such aspersion on a good character. The Odd Fellows and H. H. of Ruth held their Annual Thanksgiving Sermon last Sunday at A. M. E. Church at 3:00 P. M. Rev. S. H.

EXHAUSE Last Sunday was Mothers' Day. Quite often, in fact most of our special days set aside for celebrations of memorable events only intorest some of us. But Mothers' Day is a day we all can and should know because it interests all of us. Every individual that breathes, nay every living creature owes its birth, its beginning here on earth, to mother. As we traveled about we noticed the mingled display of white and red carnations insignia of the fact that in the of that son or daughter love and respect still lingered to the humble extent that at least on this day he she living or dead she had not been forgotten. Many visited the church many others the various cemeteries in reverend respect of "Mother." Mr. Albert Davis, one of San Francisco's leading business men spent several days in our city on business, leaving for home the middle of the week. Last Monday he was the guest of J. H. Wilson on a motor trip to Redlands. . . . The musical puills of Mrs. Alpino- so Murdock held their first annual outing up at Caiacit on the 12th inst. About fifty scholars and friends mot- ored up and spent the day. Baso- ball, horse-back and games of all sorts were a few of the amusements indulged in. The 3 in 1 Lodge is starting in early to be a popular sum- mer resort. If all reports are true it looks as if the powers that be have left the Somerville Hotel stockholders to swim for themselves or drown and they are making a feeble effort to reach shore after being stranded in mid-ocean. --- Titus Alexander is modestly running wild these summer days enjoying an early summer vacation motoring and fishing. While we haven't sampled any of the fish we're sure he has caught some. The Gas War is still raging and the public is still laughing. Looks like the big concerns have started something that has got beyond their control. We bid good bye to our electrical friend John Caulisbury the other day. He left for the East to attend the funeral of an uncle who had spent 99 useful years here on earth. He has our sympathy. The political preliminaries have disposed of and we now find the Los Angeles City handicap about to be run. It may still be a dark horse's race. We were in the Pyramid Cooperative Grocery store last week. It is certainly growing like a well fed infant. We are glad to see it and notice how our group is helping to put it over. Mr. Harry Williams has a number of Los Angeles citizens termed friends who would like to know the new address that is attracting his time and attention. The neighborhood of 3th and Central, last Saturday, lost a conspicuous figure that for several years was admired by all. Her name was Queen, a full-blooded Point Setter. Queen was a wonderful pedigree dog owned by Tom Louden, the express man. She was killed by an auto and leaves to mourn her loss her owner, seven healthy, full-blooded pups, 44 months old, and a host of neighborhood friends that she daily visited. Interment was in dog cemetery. We're in hearty accord with the article appearing on the front page of the Eagle last week regarding forging of names on various petitions. It is a much abused condition that is daily If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You Ma; Iever Know It Happened increasing, and unless something is done to stop it may get someone in trouble. The other week at White Sox Park there was staged a benefit ball game for Dr. Munich; truly a deserving case. We feel that the officials who managed same should let the public know the amount relied as some purchased several tickets and they would like to know and have a right to know to what extent it was a financial success, if at all. Did you read about Robert Hutchins, 30, and Chicago University? Robert rolled into the university on his ability and parked himself permanently in the position of president at the invitation and request of the Board of Trustees. He motored from the position of dean of law school of Yale. Some smart chep. If he can do this in 30 years we wonder what he will be holding down at 60. Perry Howard, the grizzly politician of Mississippi, who until the Hoover administration gained control of national politics was Republican National Committeeman for that State. He was compromised out of politics recently when the Attorney General's office restabilized him after suspending him, and he resigned. We are of the opinion that that fellow Hoover secured lots of colored votes at the last Presidential election that he won't get at the next. Santa Monica News BY: VERNON E. S. BRUNSON THE BAY WINDOW Good-bye to old winter. The season of laughter and sunshine—vacation days and otherwise—is at hand. One half of this year will have soon past, leaving behind a rememberance to sweeten the years to come. Its what we do in everyday life that really counts—we either go backwards or foreward. Only death is still. Our Race is moving on to a definite goal; to a definite high. Each generation find itself on a plane higher than its forebeeler—finds something new to fight for. The summer season has opened with a bang, hotels and rooming houses were filled to the overflow, when the first vanguard of the mighty army of summer imagrants invaded Crescent Bay. The old timers waggle their head in mute satisfaction—its gonna be a big summer-time here! The takingmoving picture "Hearts In Dixie" was recently shown at our local theaters. This picture, a good reproduction of voice and sound—light and shadows—seems to have impressed the majority of its audience as an experiment, that ought to be tried over again. It was an exhibition of talent and voice in a new and untried field—but, as for the story woven around these sounds and motions, it didn't really begin until the end. If some author would-pick up the thread and show the struggles of that little plantation boy in his quest for knowledge, and his success that would be a story that would leave a true remembrance upon the minds of its readers and listeners. AROUND THE CHURCHES THE FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH REV. ROBERT HOUSE. Pastor "Mother" was the opening topic of the day. The Sunday School and regular church services were well attended. The Pastor proached a very interesting sermon, entitled "My Mother". In the evening the Allen Christian League had a very interesting meeting. An informal program was given at the regular night services. Numbers of music and readings were voluntarily rendered; these were followed by a short sermon by the pastor. Under its very capable leadership the First A. M. E.S. are making splendid progress. From an almost tottering position, in the last few months, it has risen to a place of sercurity and trust, and is growing in spirit and numbers. PHILIP'S CHAPEL C.M.E. CHURCH REV. W. M. SELDON. Pastor From Sunday School to Evening conclusion the exercises of this church were well attended. The Day of MOTHER was observed, and a very interesting program was had at the morning services. Mrs. A. E. Selden was mistress of ceremonies. The sermon for this service was preached by Mrs. Montgomery, Evangelist—her subject, "Behold Thy Mother". The message was held at 6:30. Montgomery, preached a second sermon at 8:30. Her topic for this hour was "The Kingdom of God". A very interesting program was also rendered. Mrs. Selden read a very instructive paper on the "Orgin of Mother's Day" Miss Thelma Fletcher sang a beautiful solo. Rev. W. G. Law and wife were the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Selden. Rev. Law is pastor of Church of God in Christ Church of Los Angeles. THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF VENTCE REV. C. A. MILLER Pastor Mother's Day was celebrated at both services. In the morning a program full of interest was rendered. Mrs. J. B. Fant acted as mistress of ceremonies. All of the old mothers of the church were presented with a huge basket of beautiful flowers. The evening exercises were conducted by the Ladies of Venice—head by Mrs. H. H. Rhodes, this body consist of the following: Mesdames GANG POLITICIANS TRYING TO DEFEAT PORTER A tremendous effort is now being made by Professional Politicians and "City Hall Lobbyists" to defeat JOHN C. PORTER for Mayor of Los Angeles—never before in the history of the city has the line of demarcation been so clearly drawn on one side stands the progressive moral forces of the city with JOHN C. Porter who proclaims that, if elected Mayor that "BOSS DILEE" "Professional Politicians and Disreputable Political Fixer" shall be cleaned out of the city hall and that the various departments of the city shall be run on a "Practical Business Basis" for the benefit of the people of Los Angeles instead of being influenced and dominated by skillful politicians for political purposes against this uprising of the people and the Army of Politicians, Lobbyists and Professional Fixers, Gamblers and Underworld Gang who for years have exercised tremendous influence in the civic affairs of the city. And in order to defeat JOHN C-PORTER who last year threw the full force of his character and determination behind the "1928 Grand Jury" that cleaned out the disreputable conditions in the district Attorney's office, the "Oil Time" Fixing Gang have caused ridiculous stories to be placed in circulation to the effect that if "Porter is elected Mayor" "that Blue Laws", and Sunday Closing will prevail in the city—that Dance Halls—theatres—Pool and Billard Rooms—Base Ball and other a musements will be banished immediately. The dispensers of these absurd tales choose to forget that JOHN C. PORTER is not a religious fanatic—That he is one of the most progressive business men of Southern Calif. That he has a chain of stores along the Pacific Coast—that he is devoted to clean decent sports—That he stands for the advancement of the Moving Picture Industry and is an enthusiastic endorser of the "World Olympic Games" which is to be held in Los Angeles in 1932—They choose to forget that for over 20 years that "JOHN C. PORTER" has been a successful business man and a distinguished civic worker—But like other leading citizens has come to believe that the time has now come when the decent law abiding citizens of the city should rise and kick the Professional and Boss Politicians out of the City Hall and thus run the affairs of the city in the interest of the common People "instead of for the benefit of Professional Politicians, Lobbyists and the underworld gang. A VOTE FOR JOHN C. PORTER MEANS A VOTE FOR PROGRESSIVE CIVIC GOVERNMENT AND THE END OF "BOSS RULE" IN LOS ANGELES. Political Advertisement Madison J. C. Middlebrook, D. B. shef- field, Author L. Rousse, G. Norton and Irvin Tabor. It consist of readings, music, and a "Tribute to Mother " by the Pastor. An infant baptism was performed for the infant son of Mrs. Nellie Littlejohn, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Fant stood as God Father and God Mother. It so happened that the birthday of two young ladies of the choir occured on Mother's day--Misses Vernice Teal and Elizabeth Trimble. The Pastor invoked a blessing upon the occasion. REV. W. A. JONES, Pastor The day opened with a splendid morning attendance. In the afternoon a Mission Day Program was held The sermon was proclaimed by Rev. Robert House of the First A. M. E. Church At Eight P. M. a very interesting Mother's program was given in its entirely the whole day was splendidly observed for that dearest and best friend of us all—MOTHER. SOCIAL AND OTHERWISE The N. A. A. C. P. campaign is on the home stretch—as the oarsmen give their last ounce of strength to pull ahead of their rivals—so do the contestant of the popularity contest. As the race draws to a close we find the fury of the battle centered among a few. On June 6, the checkered flag will be waved to the winner. Mrs. Cora Maxwell gave a very interesting talk on the people of Africa. Thursday evening, at the Calvary Baptist Church. Mrs. Maxwell spent several years as a Missionary in Africa, and has had a wide and vried experience. Many of Bay District were present to hear the speaker. The Stewartess Board of the First A. M. B. Church gave a most excellent dinner at the home of Mrs. Alice Taylor, of 19th Street. Many enjoyed a meal that was both tasty and reasonable in price. Friday, May 10th, a Tacky Party was given at the home of Mrs. L. A. Taylor of 32nd Street. The worst looking and ill dressed species of humanity turned out to make the affair a grand success. Prizes were awarded to the most improperly dressed persons. Ice cream and cake were sold, proceeds were for the Third Sunday Rally of the First A. M. E. Church. Saturday, May 11th another Tacky Party at the home of Mrs. Lillian Talbert of 16th Street. The "weary Willies". "Country Gals" and "what-nots" were there in "full dress".

Others were just chatting standing here and there arranging the beautiful baskets of flowers—a carpet of green grass covered the floor and lattice entwined with the spring flowers and ferns formed the back ground. Going up the stairs we were met by two canning live dolls who wore the little ruffled dresses of old with the little lace panties and picture hats. They received our cards, upstairs a mail received our wraps. We were escorted into the real garden where beautiful flowers were all around everywhere, with cunning little garden benches here and there. Birds singing their songs of love and lock a May Pole, and Rene and his companions invited to play music that sounded better than ever.

M. E. CHURCH REV. T F. JONES, Pastor Sunday being Mother's Day, large congregations were in attendance at all services. The Sunday School passed the high water mark in attendance. At the eleven o'clock service, the Pastor made a short exhortation and then the meeting was given over to the congregation that each one might say a few words in regards to mother. This part of the meeting was very touching and impressive as each one spoke of "My Mother." At the evening service the Senior choir rendered a splendid program in keeping with the occasion, which was greatly enjoyed by all. The Group Leaders made their reports on the building fund. Next Sunday the Pastor will preach at both services and in the afternoon at three o'clock he will preach at the 2nd A. M. E. Church on 53rd Avenue.

The 11 o'clock services began promptly with associated ministers assisting in the conducting of the devotionals. This being Mother's Day of course we listened to a very interesting sermon by our pastor. A special sermon was given to us, using for the subject "Our Mothers". At the closing of the services, the pastor extended an invitation and Brother Bailey came forward to unite with us, and we were very grateful for his soul. At 5 o'clock the B. Y. P. U. had a Reception, honoring "MOTHERS". This was indeed a very nice affair, many were present and dainty refreshments were served in abundance. The program sponsored by the Union began at 6:30 with Mrs. Lounse Aye as Mistress of Ceremony. A very interesting program was witnessed. Beautiful songs and readings were given and we felt annual honored and grateful to have in our mstst, Mrs. T. F. Jones, who gave us a wonderful talk on Mother Mrs. Jones made many worthy remark and in addition gave a wonderful advice to our girls. We invite Mrs. Jones to come again and give to us some more of these splendid lectures. The Junior Choir furnished music for the occasion, and sang very sweetly. Sisters Foifer and Curtis are to be commented on the the splendid progress of the choir. The Evening services were conducted by the pastor, and he preached a wonderful sermon to an appreciative audience. The weekly church program will be governed by the church calendar. Next Sunday will be our Boys Day. All are requested to come out and assist the Boys in making their day the greatest day of all.

WAVE AND TOLOGY SHOPPES THE MUSICIAN --- Page----Five This picture by Carl F. Gross, illustrates the Negro's Social and Economic positions in the fair city of Angels. The story is told of a splendid Colored Boy who came West seeking his fortune, and found that the only door of OPPORTUNITY open to him was that one that led to a career in vice. MEN WANTED WHITE ONLY FACTORY - MILL - OFFICE - STORE BANK - WAREHOUSE RAY LAUNDRY EMPLOYER COME ON BIG BOY WE CAN USE YOU. ORGANIZED VICE Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION RIGHT ABOUT FACE! In the situation developing out of the attitude of the Colored Undertakers of this city, who have dismally failed to buy the products of the Heflin Manufacturing Company and the stockholders taking umbrage there; we are decidedly of the opinion that the Colored Undertakers are, to say the least, in their own light in this situation and should right about face, before serious consequences obtain to the discredit not only of themselves but a scattering of forces in the business world. If even one undertaking firm succeeds it does so on the fact that its entire clientage is that of their own race and it ill becomes them to fail to render the same in return. Failing in this means just one thing and that is the falling down of their so-called gentlemen's agreement with the white undertakers and a general disintegration of a line of business which has heretofore proved quite a success. It is not too late and let us hope there will be an adjustment of this situation, which is only simmering at this time but threatens to boil over at most any moment. HOW TO BE HEALTHY A comfortable income is a fair passport to happiness, but only if there is good health to complement it. To a greater extent than any other factor good health is the key to an enjoyable existence. Next to the weather, men spend most time narrating their ill-health experiences. To a considerable degree this condition, the doctors assert, is man's own fault. The alternative to poor health is sensible exercise; there is a general indictment that as a people Americans are too ready to watch others disport for their amusement and not ready enough to play themselves for the good of their health as well as for pleasure. Now that the out-of-doors days are again in the offing this is a subject worth pondering. It is a peculiar thing that the boy who plays baseball on the vacant lot, who participates in track, football or basketball activities and thinks his young life inequitably distributed without that devotion to healthful pursuits, is willing to abandon every one of them when he reaches maturity and generally takes his exercise behind the steering wheel of an automobile. For active sport he is willing to sit in the stands and chew gum. One criticism has been leveled at the educational system that develops group sports which become inconvenient for the individual to pursue when the groups are scattered on leaving school, and fails to teach those athletics which one or a couple can undertake, golf and tennis being examples. If this criticism is valid there rests none the less on the individual the burden of proving himself mentally incapable of suggesting a correction in his own case, by supplying the initiative for himself. The greatest corrective of adult ill-health is universal adult athletics. Men should play themselves as well as watch others. The boy at college does not know the gloomy moments the man experiences worrying about his stomach, or his head, or his eyes, or his liver; it is incomprehensible to him. Yet within a decade, if he deserts his open-air medicine, he, too, will begin to think twice about pie and be taking advice on the baleful effects of fried foods. The national adult health could be vastly improved, without doubt, if everyone could be induced to resume, in a degree suited to him, the athletics of younger days. There is merit equally in the modest hike and the more intellectually studied golf ball, in a humble game of hand ball or an abandon of tennis. "The play's the thing." THE HUMBLE PENNY A business man in the middle west deplores the careless and even scornful attitude of this generation toward the penny. We are contemptuous of this humblest of coins, he avers. People drop pennies and don't bother picking them up. They deliberately leave them on counters in stores and banks. This merchant, a self made man who came up through hard work and practice of thrift, expressed not only dismay but indignation at such prodigality. Well, there are not many penny wise people today. Time was when a penny was a penny and not only children but men and women counted it. A penny today will purchase practically as much as it did fifty years ago, but where there was one penny then there a hundred now. People spend recklessly. There is an extravagance in this country which startles visitors from the old world. We are the freest spenders on earth and are proud of it. A nation of tightwads would be deplorable, but a nation of spendthrifts is almost as bad. The humble penny deserves to be treated with respect. It takes only from two to five of them to buy a newspaper. The penny may be humble when compared with quarters and half dollars, but it merits a decent regard, not contempt or scorn. Habits of thrift are not easy to form these days. The education of no child is quite complete until he is taught the value of money, what it represents, how it may be used not unwisely but well. STRAW HAT CROP While the glories of nature are being extolled by the poets let sight not be lost of the fact that the straw hat season likewise is upon us. The early birds are beginning to make their appearance with suitable comment from the Kentucky press. By Derby day the season will be reaching its full glory. Straw hats were first made or worn by the Romans. However, history records that it was not until many centuries later that straw hats really became popular. It was in the eighteenth century that Mary, Queen of Scots, became interested in the wearing of straw hats. It was Queen Mary who popularized the straw hat. She employed a number of straw plaiters and returned with them to Scotland, where her people were trained in the art of straw hat making. Styles change but the straw hat seems secure in its position. Its return is always welcome for, like the dogwood blossoms and the robins, it brings with it sunshine and gladness. COMMENTS BY W. J. WHEATON A few days more and the 48th session of the California Legislature will be history. Legislation good, bad and indifferent has gone through the legislative mill. There is no telling how many will die by the way of the pocket veto. After considerable manouvering the Hydraulic mining bill passed the Assembly but it is conceded that it will have rough sledding when it reaches the Senate. The bills introduced by senators West and Fellom, abolishing capital punishment died an ignominious death in committee, and the culprits now awaiting If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Some years ago when young men came West seeking fortune and fame, among them was a splendid young Colored Man fresh from college, athletic in build and with a pleasing countenance. He had been told that here he would not be hampred by race prejudice, because the West was calling for men, able bodied, intelligent men, who were willing to do and die. So our young hero came. There was courage written on his brow and determination in his stride. He'll not so easily be discouraged said the observer, who watched him make that desperate dash for fortune. With grace and ease this bronze knight, the flower of his race and tribe, tried them all and it was not until many wary months had passed, he had knocked at every door save one, only to be told that because of his color he could not find employment there, but he was not --- He stood in the center of the City, as it were, and gazed out at the many doors of opportunity and thought he saw them beckoning to him, COME! the noose have little comfort. Five now in Folsom under sentence of death for killings in attempting prison break. Thanksgiving last, will pay the penalty. BUSINESS TREND The Business and Professional Men's Friday Luncheon Club, in its weekly confab along business lines thus far has instilled in the hearts and minds of men a business consciousness never before apparent and each week a decided trend for more and bigger business amongst the group is in evidence. The organization was started for the purpose of meeting and talking over business and now we find if men meet and talk, they will begin to think and finally do business on a bigger and better scale than ever before. Out of the present campaign with both sides promising a fair and square deal for all citizens and an equal break for all, we suggest a deal of unfinished business is ready for the cleaners when the new regime goes into office July 1st or thereabout. Why not insist on pledges for citizenship opportunity in all of the city's affairs? Why not get pledges for a correction of the shameful condition which absolutely hold back the promotion of Police Officers who have earned the same upon their merit. Likewise in all the departments of the city which all people are taxed to carry on. THE NATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION We send greetings to the annual gathering of editors now in session in the city of Milwaukee. We trust that there will be much good accomplished by way of improvement for the newspapers conducted by our group throughout the nation. We sincerely regret that circumstances prevent our attendance at this session and finally, though far away, our heart beats in unison with the workers who are doing their utmost for the advancement of the highest ideals to the end that the Negro Press of this nation shall go ever forward in its mighty mission of progress. easily discouraged. Surely this is madness. I am an educated American. I have served my country in France—and I LOVE THE FLAG. But oh! the long weary days; his clothes began to grow shabby; he was hungry. There was only one door left at which he had not yet applied. It was the door of vice. There was something in the inner mind of this young man which bade him NOT ENTER; but what shall I do? said the other self—Shall I starve and die? Alas, struggling with two emotions he entered the only door that sprang ajar for him, and where there was no color prejudice. Today he is King of the Underworld, but he neither walks nor looks the same. The frank, open expression has changed places with a doggedly coward look. He is nervous and his attitude towards life has changed. Men may organize to cut away the great vice concern, but not until the doors of opportunity are swung wide to all Americans will they succeed. America sows her wind of prejudice and she must reap her whirlwind of crime. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON The Assemblyman from the 74th District has been on the job and accomplished much. There has been no bombastic speeches nor any play for publicity, but quietly and without ostentation he has been successful in having his measures passed and also, blocked some which would have been inimical to the Group. We have in mind one instance: Assembly Joint Resolution No. 15 introduced by Mr. Adams. The Resolution memorialized congress to add the Filipinos to the list of restricted immigrants. Unhappily, as the proponent of the resolution put it, the Negro appeared in same category of undesirable aliens. When the attention of Mr. Roberts was called to the matter he went quietly to the author, called his attention to the resolution; received an apology; had the word expugned, all without making any ado or attracting public attention. He accomplished what he went after. His bill amending section 1197 of the Political Code relating to election ballots will prove a boon to Mrs. and Mr. Voter as it simplifies and clarifies the ballot. A new section was added to the Political Code; 1981, authorizing the addition of a unit or units to the national guard composed of citizens of African descent. Many other measures received his support and especially was he active in all legislation pertaining to education. The Hoover administration received its first jolt when the Senate passed the Farm Relief bill with the Debenture clause. It may be that it will receive the presidential veto, and then we shall see, what we shall see. Meanwhile, there is a feeling of great foreboding. What was looked on as a sure administration majority may prove otherwise. Fess, the republican whip, is all "Het up."

BY CARL ECHOLS Joining the southern extremity of the United States, washed by a common sea and kissed by a common sun is Mexico, the home of the Mexicans. This land of arid sands, cactus, and sage brush; of perched slopes, desolate plateaus, and few rains, is the dwelling place of one of the most picturesque and romantic people of the western hemisphere. The origin of the Mexicans is shrouded in mystery, but a mystery that is glorious, one that is clothed in romance and nurtured by an illustrious past. For the ancestors of the present day Mexicans maintained a flourishing civilization that, in many respects, equaled that of western Europe. Recent discoveries have unearthed works of science and art that proclaim the high state of culture of these Indians. (These advanced people were, according to anthropologists, pure-blooded Indians). Contemporaneous with the time when semi-civilized Anglo-Saxons were drinking their liquors from a human skull, these dark people had well established prohibition laws: only the aged and infirm were allowed to "get drunk". They had a well organized government with intelligent, fair, law makers. They invented a calendar for their own use; they developed a system of astronomy that showed that they were well versed in mathematics; they even recorded their own history in Egyptian like hieroglyphics on their temples, on their statuary, and on dried animal skins. They wrought in gold and silver, and mounted precious stones in a manner that astounded the Spanish Soldiers when they arrived on their mission of conquest and destruction. These Mexican Indians were skilled engineers and builders: Their temples and pyramids show such a striking resemblance to oriental culture that ethnologists and other researchers are more baffled than ever in explaining the origin of these advanced people. The Mexican of to day is heir of all this glorious past, for in his veins flows the same blood that inspired his ancestors. The present day Mexican is innately polite, religious, and artistic; even in the lowest rank and file is to be found musical, artistic, and poetic genius of the highest type. Negro and Spanish blood has been widely diffused, throut Mexico, how ever, pure Indian stock is still found especially in the interior. The Mexicans are no more given to laziness, filth, drunkenness, thievery, and peace-breaking than are other races. That these sun-tanned descendants of the Aztecs, Toletecs, and Mayas are no farther advanced than they are, should evoke no particular wonder. For natural barriers have done in Mexico what they have done elsewhere: they have aided in retarding the forward progress of this very gifted people. Historians are fast abandoning the practice of branding as innately inferior and backward those races that fail to attain the highest cultural level, or who fail to keep pace with the most advanced civilization. A broader knowledge of human progress is beginning to teach us that the main cause of unprogressiveness of any people are probably as often geographic and climatic as psychologic! The day is comming when Mexico will take its place among the leading powers of the world, for this race is pregnant with genius and intelligence The time is approaching when her government will become stabilized, her masses educated, and her intrinsic worth recognized by the world.

May 13—Whenever the hopefuls who spring up after every election, ambitions to serve Uncle Sam in the vast army of office holders, survey the field of positions which custom has led them to regard as available for an applicant of color, the Registship of the Treasury is certain to receive weighty consideration. In the old days it stood at the top of the list of positions in the capital, being truly an executive appointment. The dignity of the place has grown since the days when the late Woodrow Wilson replaced Bishop Vernon with a white man, for the World War with its bond issues to be registered, brought a large increase in work, personnel and importance. The salary is correspondingly greater, being now $8,000. All that remains of its former glory is one section reserved for colored employees with Dr. Alphonso Harris as its chief clerk. Wilson made a gesture toward keeping the place within the color line when Adam Patterson, Oklahoma lawyer's name was proposed. Nothing came of that feint, Patterson taking himself out of the picture at blind Senator Gore's suggestion. When Warren Harding became chief executive, hopes ran high again that the registration would be part of the dusky group patronage. An interesting story of its failure to change color still goes the rounds here at the capital. With Mr. Harding President, every one naturally thought that Charley Cottrill of Toledo, one of the earliest "Harding men" and closely associated with the president's "Ohio Group", would immediately be named Register. Mr. Cottrill thought so, too, and quietly informed his friends of his expectation. He had been colector of Port at Honolulu under Tafe and was one of Olio's best known sons. Affable, gallant, hall fellow well met, his selection would have met the approval of the country. Toledo was especially proud of him, because for years he was the only colored boy who had ever finished the Toledo High Scholio. So Charley came to Washington and went to see the president, "Glad to see you, Charley", said genial Warren Harding, "I want to do something nice for you, indeed I do." "You want to be Register of the Treasury, some of the boys tell me. Well, now I'll tell you, Charley, that place is in the treasury department under Mr. Mellon. Go over and call on him. Tell him I sent you. Chat with him and let him get acquainted with you." Cottrill sped oved to the office of the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Mellon's secretary proved a stumbling block. He just wouldn't let Charley in until he explained his business. When Charley revealed his mission, the secretary said, "Oh, you don't want to see Mr. Mellon. He has nothing to do with such matters. You want to see one of the under secretaries", and he ushered Mr. Cottrill in. That worthy talked to him for an hour or so and deciled he was the wrong assistant. He said Mr. Cottrill should see another assistant. Cottrell was growing a bit suspicious but when he met the second assistant he was gratified to find him a man whom he had met in Hawaii, and who was familiar with his excellent record there. They talked over old times, finally getting down to the mission at hand. "Oh, what do you want with that job, Cottrill", said the under secretary. "You can't make any money at it." "It's not merely a matter of money" returned Charley. "No, you're a man of wealth, then." Charley could not resist the blandishment and half acquiesced. "Then you simply want the job for honor, because your name will appear on the nation's money?" Charley with a growing doubt as to his friend's sincerity agreed. "there "Well," said the secretary, "they have passed a bill to take the regis- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened ter's name off the money, so that would be an empty honor. If I were you, I'd look for something else." Charley bewildered was ushered out. He went back to the president. "Well, Charley, what did Mr. Mellon say?" "I couldn't see him, said Charley, relating him experience." "I'm sorry, Charley, I wanted you to see Mr. Mellon. He is the stumbling block and his objections must be overcome." "Mr. Harding undoubtedly came to Washington with good intentions. But the pressure was too great. The growing influence of the South. The waning of the abolition spirit in the north, coupled with the sentiment in favor of keeping Negroes out of executive places reached him and tied his hands. Cottrill all of whose ambitions had been centered on the place, died—undoubtedly of broken heart." So a white man kept it. Coolidge came. Hundreds were now employed where tens were before. White women protested. Silent Cal always credited with the thought that colored folk were doing well enough, talked glowingly of the race's progress with his New England twang and did nothing. Just before he left office, he promoted the white register to be treasurer and filled the Register's office with a man from Mellon's state. But the hopefuls are optimistic and again they are eyeing the Register's seat. Industrial Discussions To Feature Tuskegee Alumni Meeting (By The Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., May 13. Declaring that Negroes were just awakening to the value of the Booker T. Washington program, Alvin J. Neely, executive secretary of the Tuskegee Alumni Association, in an announcement made Tuesday, is urging graduates to the institution to attend the annual meeting of the association which will be held in Birmingham, Alabama, June 5, 6. While the main purpose of the meeting is to inspire further interest on the part of the graduates in the institution, much of the three days will be devoted to discussing the presen industrial condition of the Negro with the view of the Alumnia Association taking a more active part in the efforts to solve the problem. "There is no one thing which is more responsible for the industrial crisis now faced by Negroes," said Mr. Neely, "than the indifference or open hostility on the part of Negroes themselves toward the program of industrial development which the late founder of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Booker T. Washington, formulated. The present lack of trained artisans in our group is directly traceable to that early hostility toward the "Tuskegee idea." As graduates of Tuskegee Institute, it is the duty of every member of the Alumni Association to attend the annual meeting and help spread the Tuskegee program, in which we all believe lies the solution to the present industrial problems faced by our race." Extensive plans are being made by the Birmingham branch of the association, under the leadership of A. G. Dobbins, for the entertainment of the visiting members. The sessions will be addressed by various officers, including J. O. Thomas, president, and members of the association as well as members of the faculty of Tuskegee Institute. Marriages should last longer now, that the husbands have only electric refrigerators to compete with.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1929 Attempts To Drive Family From Town Results In Shooting Of The Postmaster (By the Associated Negro Press) Alloway, N. J., May 13.—The attempt on the part of white citizens to drive out a family, because it was rumored that the women were of Negro lineage, ended in the shooting of the local postmaster and the arrest of two members of the family. This town has a hard fast rule that "No Negroes are Allowed" which is interpreted to mean that Negroes can neither live here nor be seen here after the sun has set, and there is no denying that such a rule exists on the part of officials or even the ministers who preach the "Brotherhood of Man" in the pulpits on Sunday. Recently Edward Robinson secured work in a local lumberyard and moved his family to Alloway. Everything was serene until it was rumored that the grandmother of Mrs. Robinson and her sister, a Mrs. Fleming, was a Negro and then the trouble started. Added to the rumor that Negro blood flowed through the women's veins, was the report that they were "bad women". Neither charge had been proved but rumor was enough. Thus about eleven o'clock Saturday night the neighbors descended upon the Robinson family with advice that they would have to get out. Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Fleming were alone in the house and paid no attention to the shouts from the street. Finally a brick was thrown through the window, shattering it, and attached to the missile a note which read: "Notice to Ed Robinson, get out and keep out of Alloway. This is your final notice." Robinson failed to comply with the instructions so another demonstration was held Monday night. Mrs. Fleming was not feeling so kindly toward the neighbors this time and rushed out of the house armed with a revolver and ordered the mok to disperse and the members obeyed but the postmaster called the sheriff. The women then attempted to leave the town, but were interrupted by the sheriff and postmaster Collier, Mrs. Robinson contested the "John Doe warrant" and when Collier attempted to seize Mrs. Fleming, whom he had charged with having a revolver, she drew the revolver from her bosom and shot him in the stomach. Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Fleming were arrested and placed in the Salem County Jail.

Grand Officers of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor Pay Annual Visit The Chief Grand Mentor and the Grand High Priestess, Sir W. L. Martin and Dtr. A. A. Knight, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, International Order of Twelve, made their annual official visit, to the Temples and Tabernacles, of Los Angeles, in joint session, on Friday evening, May 10th at Elks Hall Washington and Central Avenue. The meeting was called to order by Sir Caviness, who presented Past G. H. P., Dtr. Carrie Graves, who opened the meeting in due and regular form. Sir Walton and Sir Williams escorted the Chief Grand Mentor to the platform, and Dtr. Hooker and Dtr. Lee Grace, performed the same service for the Grand High Preceptress. The Grand honors being given these Grand Officers, Dtr. Graves, turned the gavel over to the Chief Grand Mentor, who in fitting remarks introduced the Dtr. A. A. Knight, the Grand High Preceptress. The address of Dtr. Knight, will be long remembered, for its comprehensiveness, its instruction, and constructive criticism, and its enlightenment. It covered in complete fashion the work of the Taternacles. When she had finished she received an ovation that was in every way worthy of her splendid effort. At this point Sir Plummer Henry rendered a reading, much to the delight and profit of the assembly. Past G. H. P., Dtr. Mable Gray then introduced the Chief Grand Mentor, Sir W. L. Martin, who addressed the body. Sir Martin, though under the care of a physician, and in attendance contrary to his orders, delivered a great address. His review of the work done by the Temples and Jurisdiction, showed that wonderful opportunities there were for Taborian progress, to those who would pay the price in service. He made a touching plea for cooperation with the administration, in putting in the ranks of Tabor this year five hundred new members. In making this plea, he gave the bodies to understand that he has led the way, in that he had since the closing of the Grand Session put into the Taborian field, three new Temples, Two new Tabernacles, and two new Tents, and had ready for setting up, new bodies in several places. Sir Martin too received a great ovation when he had finished. It was a fine tribute to a worthy man. There were words of greeting, from Sir. S. M. Beane; Sir T. B. Norman, End. Secretary; Dtr. Ola Swanigan, Vice G. H. P.; Dtr. Mable Gray, Past G. H. P.; Sir Broaday, C. M. of Sunrise Temple; and Sir Clarence Martin and Sir Warren Woods. The Grand Presiding Prince. All of the bodies were represented in large numbers, and the hall was filled to its capacity. The decorations were beautiful, and attested the interest and enthusiasm of the ladies who performed the tasks. Beautiful gifts were presented to the Grand Officers, and flowers to them attested the honor in which they are held. After the close of the meeting, refreshments were served. News Dispatch: Originally women obtained their clothing by skimming unfortunate animals. They are still skimming the brutes—their husbands. A news item says that a lot of the movie shelks get as high as $250,000 a year for their love making. It is only fair to mention that we would do it for a lot less.

BRUNSON (For The Associated Negro Press) Those who expect any system of race-segregation ever to do justice to the weaker race, are dreamers of impossible dreams. Let us observe here some of the performances of "Jim Crow," and of his camouflaged brother, Mr. James Crow. When a colored man sets out to get so ordinary a thing as a Pullman seat or berth from one town to another in "Jim Crow" territory, it is an extraordinary event which calls in "Jim Crow" matic approaches and back-door conferences than the negotiation of 42 international peace treaty. Recently a black man wanted a berth to sleep in, from Knoxville to Memphis in Tennessee, and it took two visits on two separate days, on the part of the white president of Knoxville College, to secure this accommodation for the black man. At first one railroad, which begins and ends in Tennessee, flatly refused; but by and by another road discovered that their line, in running from Knoxville to Memphis, dipped down into the upper corners of Alabama and Mississippi, which fact made them an "interstate" line, so that they could have the legal right to collect this colored brother's money—which buses and auto, by the way, have caused them to come into great need of, anyway. Question: If they have a right to sell interstate Pullman tickets, have they not also the right to sell interstate day-coach tickets without Jim-Crowing the Negro? In Fort Smith, Ark., a colored man's wife was ill. The doctors suddenly announced that she would have to be operated on in the next 48 hours to save her life, and would have to be taken to Hot Springs for the operation. Then the painful process of trying to secure a drawing room was begun. The colored people did not dare to ask for a simple section of berths. They were willing to pay for the drawing room. They were flatly refused by local ticket agents and railway officers. Then in despair and terror the colored husband got on the long-distance 'phone for the headquarters of the railroad in St. Louis. He had to spend an enormous sum, living on this long-distance line till late into the night. The local white Episcopalian clergyman, who happened also to be a human being, was helping him and 'phoning also. One official after the other in St. Louis turned them down.Finally, the battle was carried to the residence of the President of the road, who was in St. Louis. He hedged and semmed and balked—but finally yielded and 'phoned the local agents in Fort Smith to let the colored people have the drawing room. If the Young Howard Instructor Receives Harvard Fellowship Ralph Bunche, instructor in Political Science, has just been granted an Ozias Goodwin Memorial Fellowship at Harvard for graduate work in Government. Mr. Bunche received his Masters Degree from Harvard, last June, where he studied under a University Scholarship. The grant makes it possible for him to work for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Although he came to Howard only last fall, Mr. Bunche has met with marked success in the work of the department which he serves as acting head. Under his instruction, Political Science has become one of the most popular courses in the college curriculum, several classes having to be closed because of maximum enrollment. His rare scholarship is an inspiration to the student body. As a student at the University of California, Mr. Bunche won highest honors, graduating valedictorian in a class of 665. In addition to his high scholastic standing he was, active in extra curricular affairs being a member of the varsity debating team and for three years a guard on the varsity basketball team. The splendid scholastic achievement of Mr. Bunche affords an example for every Negro boy and girl struggling to secure an education by means of self support. Mr. Bunche has been without mother and father since he was fourteen years of age and has worked his way through school up to the present point. The several scholarships which he has received have been rewards of his own merit. Mr. Bunche has been granted a year's leave of absence in order to take advantage of a Harvard Fellowship, after which time he will resume work in the Department of Political Science at Howard University. accommodation had been refused and the woman had died, a suit for damages could lie against the railroad, if the colored people were able to pay for the prosecution—because even the laws of Arkansas call for "equal accommodations", although they do not mean it. Some optimistic idiot will say: "Well, the colored people got the accommodation in both of those cases didn't they?" But not every colored man who needs a berth can have a white college president or a white Episcopalian clergyman to fight with him, and waste a lot of time and energy trying to get it. And not every colored man whose wife is sick can afford to spend several hundred dollars on long distance calls to buy first the privilege of buying a ticket. A Jim-Crowing race is also a poor sport: it will not take its own medicine. It does not take to be done by as it does by others. In Fort Worth, Texas, the colored people built a theatre, and following the example of the white theatres, they announced: "This theatre is for colored people only. White people are not admitted." The whites saw the announcement and gathered a mob and burned the theatre down. In that act these whites showed what they really think of the justice of "Jim Crow." NOTICE In reviewing the Hawkins Boyd Nuptials of past issue, the following was omitted: Mrs. Estella McCall, served as matron of honor. Mrs. Marie Jackson rendered a solo. An expert fireman can dress himself in 25 seconds says Dunk Botts—which he explains, is why there are no firewomen. A preacher at church told how Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt, when she looked back. We know a woman in Fort Bragg who looked back and turned into a telephone pole.

Night 8:30 ey» The Black (Se) Sport World ; : By ART HAMILTON pi ( ADAMS BEATS LANGFORD Jobnny Adams, with the ‘help of Bob White a referee was able to take his first win over a black man last Thursday night at San Bernardino. This is the fourth battle that Ad- ams fas ever had with a man with a dark skin, and the first one that he has been able to beat, and then he had to have the help of the third man in the ring to do it. LOST TWICE, DREW ONCE i i The San Bernardino Mountain Lion's score with the black man stands, two lost, one draw, aid one undeserved win. Young Jack Thomp- son nut his lights out in four cantes, Sammy Jackson, the sensational younz Santa Monica School boy beat him in ten rounds, and Young Sam Laneford held him to a draw in a battle last month, and according 10 ring side fe should heve bad the verdict in that setto. (Langford) CLOSE FIGHT ‘The scrap Thursday night was a close one all the way through and the very worst that Sam should have had from the referee was a draw. Bur then it is a known fact that an outsider has to rock Adams to sleep to take the duke over him a San Ber- doo, his home town. Round one was tame. The boys were feeling each other out. "In cento two things began to pick up. Adame tried to reach Lahsiord’s body, but Sam kept him of with that long left of his. AS a matter of fact that ed- uceted lett of Langford’s won the fight for him, to our way* of thinking. But the referee saw otherwise. The Mountsin Lion vied to rough it up in the clinches, Lut Sam made him !pox like a monkey a couple bf times by pushing his bead through the ropes. LANGFORD SIX, ADAMS THREE The way we tabbed the ficut vas Langford Six and Adams Three and one even, JOHNNY CUT UP Adams left the ring with eut over bis eye and his bady @ deep crimison from the well directed body blows.of Sam's. while Lansford did not have a mark. BLACK TAKES CARDOVA Jimmy Black took Mike Cardova an awkaward boy with ease, after a long lay off. Cardova was a hard boy to fight, because he kept inside all_the time and did not teke a chance! or give Jimmy a chauce to show his stuff Op to par. Black was far too speedy for the hard hitting Mexican and he took every round in the eigat rounds they traveled, JIMMY MIDDLEBROOK Jimmy MiddleBrook, another one of Ed Duvall’s buys gave Froak Ferris a local boy ihe beatin of his young lite MidlleBrook is just a kid, and has the makeings of a good fighter, if be takes the game the right way. sf Jimmy filled in on the card and had trained just two days for his scrap and looked great.

There is no reason at all that the kid couldn't.make the top grade, If he will settle down to business and not get the dumps if he is beater ance in a while ou the way to the up.

She didn't say where she came from, how long she would stay here, nor where she was going. Nevertheless she is here. Los Angeles theatre goers remember her way back in the days of the Cadillac Cabaret, when she was a sensation with the clever Miss Bricktop. More recently she played here with the Doc Straine Company at the Lincoln Theatre. She had a strong following among the Lincoln fans. Now, she is back again. What are you going to do, Albertine? That's right, if you want to keep it a secret, don't tell it to a newspaper man. He tells everybody. "HALLELUJAH" CAST—has been released by the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer studio. Prominent Eastern performers, who have spent approximately six months in Southern California in order to complete King Vidor's epoxy-making all-Colored cast production "Hallelujah" are making readiness for their departure. Their work has been finished. They have received the heartfelt thanks and appreciation of the studio people, with a final O. K. They have made good friends thus far, and should rest with the satisfaction that when the picture is released, they will feel the plaudits of the theatre fans wherever it is shown. The California Eagle does not know exactly who and how many will have gone ere the next issue, so it extends a good-bye to Daniel Haynes; Nina Mae McKinney, Victoria Spivey, Fanny Belle DeKnight, William Fountain, Daddy Gray, Hot Shot Buriwell McGarrity, the Dixie Jubilee singers, the children and others who assisted in every way in making the picture a success. CURTIS MOSBY—causes a most unique distinction. Maybe Mr. Mosby didn't realize at the outset that his entry into the cabaret business here in Los Angeles, would lead him so far. Whether he did or not, doesn't matter, he has earned for himself the title of being a real business leader. By his extensive advertising program Mr. Mosby has brought to Central Avenue a profit that no other business man had the courage to seek after. He had an American product to sell—entertainment—that was no respector of person or buyer. He knew the bulk of the heavy buyers were out of this section. Wherever he found it thickest, there he waged his biggest advertising campaign. As a consequence, this campaign cost him in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars a week. Unheard of, Vergtofore, among Negro businesses. This same little campaign has made the Apex Club one of the most popular nite clubs in the entire West and netted the promoters a neat little profit. They advertised and better still, they had something to sell. Patrons were not dissatisfied when they came down to the Apex. With such sterling artists, as Aleerretti Anderson, Carolyn Snowden Ivy Anderson, Thurston Briggs, Sue Hoy, Luther Clayborne, Dick Sanders, and Slick Branlon and the great Clarence Muse, coupled with a dizzy, jazzy chorus of eight, they have a show that's second to none. Pictures Wherein Colored Actors Appear in Pominent Roles The "Trial of Mary Dugan" now playing at the Fox Criterion theatre, has Chas. Moore, one of our own playing a very clever role of James Madison. The picture stars Norma Shearer, with Lewis Stone and Henry B. Warner. "Show Boat", now playing at the Biltmore theatre, has our ace actor, Stepin Fetchit and Gertrude Howard very cleverly and prominently cast. It is a universal film, directed by Pollock, and stars Laura LaPlante and Joseph Schildkrant. "Coquette" now in its last week at the United Artists Theatre, has Pete Beavers, one of our leading actresses, cast in a most laudable role. The picture stars Mary Pickford, the sweetheart of America's screen. "A Dangerous Woman", has just opened at the Paramount Theatre, colored fans will not be losing anything by seeing this very remarkable picture. Between 50 and 70 of our own people worked in some of the highly interesting scenes. It stars Baclanova, with Olive Brook, Neil Hamilton and Glade-Olive. If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You Mav Never Know It Happened Featuring Laura Bowman Comes to the Lincoln Monday When "Under Cover" closes at the Lincoln on Sunday night, it will be followed by one of the most loveable and popular dramas of all times. Announcement is made that starting Monday, May 20th, the famous Lafayette Players are to appear in "Over The Hill To The Poor House," with Laura Bowman featured in the heart-touching role of the widow Saunders. "Over The Hill to the Poorhouse," as theatergoers everywhere know, was adapted from the famous old poem of the same name, and it will provide Miss Bowman with her most appealing role of the season. The plot of the drama has a wealth of human interest, with its "honeymore story of "Ma Saunders" and her two sons. How one of the boys mortgages his mother's homestead to clear up a dept, and how the other is unjustly accused of theft and runs away from home, forms the basis of the plot. Of course everything turns our right for the widow Saunders, after a series of humorous and dramatic incidents that appeal to every one. In addition to Laura Bowman, there will be delightful characterizations by Evelyn Preer—as "Lillian" sweetheart of the accused son—Edward Thompson who plays one of the Saunders boys, and also Cleo Desmond, Malcolm Patton, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Lawrence Criner, Charles Olden and Arthur Ray. "Over The Hill To The Poorhouse" will be witnessed one evening next week by Mary Carr who played the leading role in the film version of Will Carleton's poem. Miss Carr will entertain a party of friends at the Lincoln, and indications point to visits by numerous other film celebrities during the engagement of "Over The Hill". The drama will continue for one week only.

THE CALIFORNIA CITIZENS CIVIC LEAGUE AND ITS EDITOR SAY--- THE CALIFORNIA CITIZENS CIVIC LEAGUE AND ITS EDITOR SAY--- Your Editor is going to have a little heart to heart chat with you on a question that should receive your earnest consideration. Political campaigns are not new to us, nor are political promises. Every time there is an election some group brings out an "experiment" and parades him before the colored voters. Our people are made the pawns of this and that interest, and we are fed up on not only promises, but a lot of cheap chatter dealing with the love some particular candidate has for our race. We were not surprised to find in the present campaign two individuals who had paraded around concealed in white sheets, and then coming into the colored section claiming that they stood first, last and all the time for equality. These masqueraders should be dealt with in a manner that should be a lesson to all men seeking our suffrage, to the end that only fair minded American citizens would be elevated to public office. This organization played a very prominent part in dismissing one of this type from the political map, and our next move is to relegate Bob Shuler and his Kluxer protege to the same discard. Fortunately, we are not alone in this fight, as the voting strength of every Catholic and Jew will be aligned with us, and if our people will only disregard the political claptrap being dished out to them we will eradicate another intolerant member of society back to his usual vocation. Between now and June 4th we don't want to lay all our cards on the table. In the case of Mr. Quinn we were forced to make the move we did as our people were inclined to give an attentive ear to statements that were not the truth. So long as cool reasoning will win for our cause we will follow this plan. In the present campaign you have on one side a man who has mastered all the intricacies of government and made good insofar as all classes of people are concerned, and particularly the Colored race. Opposing him is a man by the name of Sidler with Porter functioning as his proxy, and neither of them possessing enough political sagacity to differentiate Between the belt line and the waist, and if they heard Boulder Dam mentioned they would probably think somebody was cussin' out of turn. False prophets will circulate among our people (usually at so much per day) and preach a wonderful sermon on what we are PROMISED. On the other hand we have a good opportunity to know the actual qualifications of "Bill" Bonelli, together with WHAT HE HAS DONE, and we therefore advise against any EXPERIMENTS IN PUBLIC OFFIVE. --- Large Wholesale Now Open To The Public Shoe Warehouse SHOE MARKET BUY YOUR NEW SHOES HERE The SHOE MARKET 224-226-228 SOUTH HILL ST.

A great many people remember "On Trial" as one of the smashing stage hits of its time, and one which was made so by the daring of its author, young Elmer Rice, in making use of one of the movies' cherished effects, the "flashback." It was the first stage play in which this effect was used and Rice felt justified in borrowing it in much as the movies never hesitated to borrow what they wanted from the stage. Those who saw "On Trial" will recall how, when the heroine is placed on the stand in the courtroom, and asked to explain certain things, the scene shifts showing her as a girl and the temptations which bestrewed her path. Added to the strength of the story is the novelty of its treatment. Now it remains to be seen how much better use of the "flash back" the movies have made than did the stage, which laid violent hands on it. "On Trial" has a great cast. The herione is played by Pauline Frederick and the production is the means of her debut on tht talking screen. Inasmuch as Miss Frederick had considerable legitimate stage experience before entering the movies, this debut should give her little concern. Bert Lytell is another member of the cast, which includes Lois Wilson, Holmes Herbert, Richard Tucker, Jason Robards, Johnny Arthur, Vondell Darr, Franklin Pangborn, Edmund Breese, Edward Martindel and Fred Kelsey. Robert Lord did the scenario. Archie L. Mago directed. "HOLD EVERYTHING" June 19, 1929 ELKS BIG FIELD DAY AND EARSEGUE Given by Golden West Lodge, No S6, I. B. P. I. E. of W.
