Everything Blamed on De Priest Memphis, Tenn., July 11 (By The Associated Negro Press) Every kind of crime or misdemeanor now committed in this town is evidently connected with the election of Oscar DePriest to Congress if the ridiculous reports appearing in daily papers are to be believed. A sample of these reports is indicated in the statement that six Negro hoboes taken from the Panama limited were enroute to Chicago to see Future of the Black Race in America! Dean C. L.

Early Thursday morning July 4th, Mrs. Carrie Kancer, of Watts, in company with her brother, Clarence Britton and a party of friends journeyed to Elsminore for a days cutting. Upon reaching the Springs the party seperated, and it was towards the close of the day that Mrs. Kancer was reported missing, and a fruitless search was started. On Friday morning the dragging off the Lake brought to light the body of Mrs. Kancer and it seems that no one present on the fatal occasion knew just how the woman met death by drowning. On Friday July 5th, the body was over to the Angelus Funeral Home for preparation for burial; and the last rites were observed, in the presence of a mammoth crowd of relatives and friends, Monday, July 8th at Macedonia Baptist church with Mrs. Kancer's pastor, Rev. Jones of Grant Chapel, A. M. E. church in charge. Mrs. Kancer was one of South Los Angeles' most popular social and church workers and her demise came as a terrible shock to her family and friends. Funeral was largely attended and the floral offerings many and beautiful. Richmond Business Men Preach and Practice Efficiency Richmond, Ind., July 1.—(By The A. N. P.) Though a small city of 38,000 population and with but 3,000 colored residents, Richmond boasts of several unique business enterpris. The leading cleaner and dver of the city, doing the largest volume of business and admittedly the finest grade of work in the city is Charles Tate. Owning a building on the main street which houses the business as well as other property he is an example of his maxiom, that "If you know your business and give service, there need be no color line in your patronage." Recently with his brother-in-law, Mr Tate has preseparated for market a patent window ventilator which his friends are expecting to bring him a large sum. Victim Of Fatal Shooting Laid To Rest. The Angelus Funeral Home was the scene for the funeral service of Quireno Olivera, who was shot to death last week, at 1422 East 22nd street. The sad service was attended by a few friends and acquaintances. Mr. DePriest and through him "break into Chicago society". Another is that Mrs. Susie Harris of Chicago who refused to be jim-crowded on an inter-state bus, admonished the local police that she would apprise Mr. DePriest of the affair, which resulted in her arrest. Taxpayers Of 9th District In Heated Resentment Over Order Issued By Playgound Commission Ostacising Colored Children From The Municipal Plunge By: ROGER JOHNSON The opening of the Evergreen Municipal Plunge, at 2839 E. 4th Street, July 4th, was a very pleasant act for many foreign children living in the district, but for our children it was a heartbreaking blow, when they were told that they would not be allowed to swim in this pool. Several arguments and near fist fights by the older boys were prevented, when "Kersky" the swimming instructor, informed the moth he was only carrying out orders given him by the Playground Commissioners. However the news spread like wild fire among the colored taxpayers of this vicinity, and whose properties were purchased in this settlement, for the establishment of the Evergreen Municipal Plunge. On July 5th a Mass Meeting was held at the home of Mrs. W. T. Hicks, 121 N. Savannah Street for the purpose of forming an organization to determine what method of procedure was best for fighting the alleged ban upon the swimming pool. The meeting proved a successful one as the taxpayers and citizens, eagerly attaining their signature petitions, issued by the Best Fist St Improvement Association, to express the sentiment of the people of this community and district. The organization not only secured the signatures of the colored people, but the better class of right thinking white people, and Japanese, who are bitterly opposed to race hatred and segregation. In a statement, to Norman Edward Shiver, a committeeman appointed by the East First Street Improvement Association, to investigate the situation, Mr. Keeler, Playground director, said, "In my experience at various playgrounds, I have particularly noted that where there are ten or twelve mixed races playing together, Racial teeling is subdued, but where there is but one or two antagoinns runs high." A committee composed of Mrs. R. W. Hicks, A. Johnson, C. Parrish and R. W. Hicks met at the office of W. J. Sanburn, who is in charge of the 9th district, to see what action could be taken upon the troublesome situation. He assured them that he would do all within his power to cope with the problem. He also advised them to take it up in a body, with the Playground Commissioners. This was readily adhered to, and a committee was appointed to call upon the Playground Commissioners. The Committee was assured that satisfaction would be given them as soon as the matter was taken before the Board of Playground Commissioners. It is hoped by all that a favorable decision will be rendered in regard to the situation. Negro Spirited Away To Escape Lynching Nashville, Tenn., July (By The Associated Negro Press) Tully Wright, a 20-year-old youth, was rushed here Tuesday morning from Hickman County to save him from being lynched by a mob, after he was found guilty of assulting a white woman. The alleged rape is supposed to have been perpetrated Saturday night, but the white woman, who was the victim, was so frightened that she did not report the affair until Sunday morning. Wright was arrested Sunday afternoon and tried Monday morning and was found guilty. The defendant brought in four witnesses to prove that he was not the man who committed the rape, but they were afraid to testify in his behalf, fearing that they would be lynched, too. When the report was circulated that Wright had been found guilty the rise of the whites began to rise, and a mob was formed. Realizing that a lynching was in the making, the Hickman County officers removed the prisoner from the county jail and rushed him here for safe-keeping. Wright was much relieved when he arrived here safely and was assured that he would be given protection. He maintained his innocence in a statement to local officers. Three Arrested in Free For All Fight Washington, D. C., July (By The Associated Negro Press) A free for all fight engaged in by a group of colored and white boys here resulted in the arrest of three of the participants and one casualty. The fight started from an argument between a colored and white boy and all hands joined in. Bricks flew and other weapons were flashed to the scene the battle. Those arrested accompanied the riot squad back to the station were William Petty, 16; and Andrew Brown, 18; and Jack Rosenburg, a 17-year-old white boy, who was charged with carrying a concealed weapon when a revolver was found on him. The injured boy was an unidentified white boy who was struck by a flying brick. Virginia G. O. P. Joins Hands With "Solid White Party" Virginia G. O. P. Joins Hands With "Solid White Party" Richmond, Va. July 11 (By The Associated Negro Press) Political leaders of both races are watching with much interest as well as apprehension the coalition of the Virginia State Republican Party with the "Solid White Party" headed by Bishop Cannon and composed of members of the Anti-Smith Democrats, in the effort to elect Dr. William Mosely Brown, governor of the state. Dr. Brown, a member of the Washington and Lee University faculty and a life-long democrat, was nominated by the Anti-Smith forces last week and at that time rumors were rife that he would also be nominated by the Republican party. These rumors became a reality here Wednesday when the Republican Party in a regular convention nominated Dr. Brown as the party standard bearer. the nomination being made by C. Bascoms Slomp, former secretary to Calvin Coolidge, and Republican clamed the larger share for the success of President Herbert Hoover in carrying the State of Virginia in the past presidential election. Negro leaders are looking askance at the merger of the two groups as it was plainly stated that the Anti-Smith-group was in reality "Solid White Party" and heretofore the little suffrage allowed the darker brother has been given by the Republican Party. Whether this coalition means that the Republicans too have decided to leave the colored voter in the cold, is the question that as foremost in the minds of these leaders. With the decision of Judge Groner that any law which denied the Negro the right to vote in any primary or election, politics assumed a more pretentious position in the State of Virginia, as far as Negroes are concerned and the group leaders are determined to have their say in the election despite the democratic primary laws, which have been declared inva- and the efforts of the Cannon group to set up a "White party". An article published in this weekly dated June 28th under caption of "Whip the Highbinder" was not intended to reflect any discounty to the Educational Missionary. Current misunderstanding had caused the Trustee Board to be somewhat apprehensive and thereby was hasty in their conclusions. This worker has the respect and confidence of the St. Paul church and is welcome as she has always been at our services. Readers will please observe the same and disregard any other comment. A CORRECTION G. H. DANIELS, Sec'y. Trustee Board. WHEN DEPARTMENT 13 of the Police Court opened up for business last Tuesday morning many who said "Good Morning Judge" wore the purple robe. IF THE development of aviation keeps up at the rate it is going pretty soon we will spend our vacation on Mars. THE MAN who starts sowing his wild oats in his youth is apt to sow through life. SO LOOK out girls, if it's a husband you are looking for, don't pick one of those wild oats sowers. THE LOVE of home, time to meet at the old family altar may not be suggestive of the age, but young men and women who know about these and have some time or other been subjected to their influence at least have some sort of foundation upon which to build character. TAX PAYERS of Boyle Heights District are outraged over the matter of segregation at the opening of the Evergreen Municipal Plunge, and rightly so, for who ever heard of such tyrannical procedure on the part of the Playground Commission? Taxation without representation is as tyrannical today as it was in the early history of Boston when Americans though few in numbers, and weak even in National strength, stood up as a man, and said to mother England: "We refuse to be further taxed unless we are granted proper representation in order that we may state our case. NEGROES HAVE died for the safety and protection of this, Our Country. Now, what we need are a few gallant men and women who are not afraid to die for a righteous cause—And may that cause be equal rights and privileges under the law in the Country and in each and every little State within the Country. Outrage is a mild term when we think seriously of the issue before us at this time. American Black Men went to France and to the battle front to fight for what? Not for their own safety and protection, but the safety and a continuance of the Democracy for their own United States of America. Never asking the question—why should we fight or even hesitating to strike a blow at any nation or tribe that turned its heels toward America, be they friends or foes. This was not true of some other adopted American Sons, who, even though they had feasted on the fat of the lamb in this country, turned their sympathies homeward when strife between the Nations arose. And yet these same adopted Americans when they present themselves at the Evergreen Municipal Plunge for a dip are told to come in and be benefited by Americans' Black and White-tax investments. But, the sons and daughters of Black Americans who washed their robes in the blood of America's battles from Bunker Hill to No Man's Land, this same Los Angeles Playground Commission says you are not wanted. This action on the part of the Playground Commission is a violation of the constitution of the United States of America. IT IS HIGH time that Black Americans do less-pleading and reviewing deeds of death by their dead ones, for dead men's deeds serve only to inspire live ones to action. Then let America's swarthy son cease from his pleading and do a little demanding. "It reminds me of the Washington Monument—this Phillis Wheatley—built by Jane Hunter at Cleveland, Ohio. It is simple in its majestic beauty. It towers above its surroundings. It makes you look up to it. It can be broken up by hurting down will it fall down, until there is a wreck of matter and a crash of world—until Silhoh comes. Jane Hunter has built as permanently as did her fathers who built the pyramids yonder in the land of the Nile. "Strange too, that this thing of brick and mortar should be so spiritual in its significance and ministry. The Phillis Wheatley is built to build to build character through helpful cooperation—it builds understanding, sympathy, love, protection, health, industry, happiness and good will." The Black Sport World By ART HAMILTON About This Eddie Tolan This boy Eddie Tolan is the Berries when it comes to the sprint game and no less. Every day in every way he is proving that he must be listed among the best in the country when it comes to the stepping along at a right nice speed. Davis had his only trouble that was given him by his motor cycle and that was a couple of flats. He had no mechinacal trouble at all. While he was fixing his fires there in that dusty Texas land about thirty miles from no where, two white fellows came along and gave him a tow to Fresh from his victories in the east at the Century and the 220 he took a journey down to Denver for the Grand and Glorious Fourth and again walked away from the supposed to be best in the country. At I. C. A. A. A. Meet The scene of Tolan's latest victory was at the famous I. C. A. A. A. at Denver where the pick of the country in track and field events were represented. Tolan took a big jump from Michigan to win over such famous sprinters as Wykoff of Glehndale, and Bracew of Texas. They were calling the 100 the Century of the Century because so many famous sprinters were entered, and Eddie really made it a Century by walking away from all the favorites. Although the time was slow Tolan ran a very good race according to the reports. Running in a stiff wind the Midnight Express clicked off the century in 10 flat. Won 200 An hour after the 100 he came back to beat Wykoff and the rest of the field again in the 200, in 21 seconds. This Midnight Express really Express right along when it gets going, and no less. The Black boys really celebrated, the fourth in a way that was fitting. Not only did Eddie Tolan show his heels to the best short distance runners in the whole United States but the already famous Phil Edwards cane right along behind him and did the same in the distance runs. Edwards Wins Mile Edwards, as every sport fans knows is from New York University and is the miler among milers, when it comes to really doing the mile. The reports say that Phil had a hard time winning the distance run, but that is more glory for him and no less. As stated before the boys were running under a handicap and the time was slow, and in the mile the handicap would be felt more than in the short distance. By outlasting and winning the event in good time regardless of the handicap, Edwards showed that he was the superior athlete, in ability and stamina. All in all a great day for the black, 'ch'? Crosses Country on Motorcycle Little Wee Willie Davis, the only race man on record to make a trip on a motorcycle across the entire country is in town again. Davis dropped in on the writer last Friday to give us the dope on his third trip from coast to coast. Arrived The Fourth Davis arrived in the city of angels on the Fourth at 6 P. M. and attracted such a crowd traffic was in a jam for several minutes. Third Trip Across The Desert This will be chalked up in the records as Davis's third trip across the wastlands. He made the trip in 1926, went back across the sands and then again this year claims that he could not stay away from Sunny California any longer, and made his third ride across the continent. From New York Davis is from New York City and is the son of prominent people in Harlem. Although his farther is retired his mother is still active in social and charitable events. Purpose, The purpose of Davis's trip across the country is for Educational purposes only and he is not selling or asking for any thing. Mr. Davis was trying for a record this trip but had to give up hope of making any kind of showing on speed, because of the very bad roads and weather conditions accounted in the South and South Western States. No Trouble It is interesting to note that Mr. Davis did not have any trouble what so ever with the people in the Southern states. In fact he says he received the best treatment that could be tendered any man, regardless of color. An interesting incident to back up the above statement was give.

CATERING TO DANDUIT PARTIES OUR SECURITY S.E.D. D. LONDON, Hampshire Davis had his only trouble that was given him by his motor cycle and that was a couple of flats. He had no mechinacal trouble at all. While he was fixing his tires there in that dusty Texas land about thirty miles from no where, two white fellows came along and gave him a tow to the nearest town. After repairing his vehicle the Nordies insisted that he be their guest for the evening. The next morning after a royal breakfast he was sent on his way with best wishes. Spanish Helped In passing through the states where Spanish was prevalent, Mr. Davis found that his mesager knowledge of the language was a decided help to him, and in many instances gave him food when otherwise he would have had to go hungry for the night. Foolhardy Physical Condition "My physical condition had a lot to do with the very good shape that I made the trip in, stated Mr. Davis." I do not indulge in any forms of tobacco or liquor and believe me it certainly helped me to make the trip in A 1 condition. Will Not Stop Long Davis does not intend to make this his only tour on his now famous motor, but in a months time hopes to sail from Frisco for the Orient. He hopes to visit every country that can be traveled, with his motor. Phycology Plays Part Again phycology enters the play, and mind won over the matter. Mr. Davis says, "It is easy to begin something, but the difficult thing is to stick to it. Although this trip across the States was some trip in it self, I will consider my purpose accomplished when I have circled the globe on this Indian motorcycle of mine, and I think she can stand the gap if I can." Holds Records Among the many records for motorcycle riding that Davis holds are the American and Canadian records for 48 hours of steady riding. Real Sportsman Truly a sportsman Davis plays every game on the books, and is especially good at tennis, swimming and boxing. As he will be here in the city for a month any friends that might want to look Mr. Davis up will find him at Mrs. Burdette's resedince, 1803 E. 534th Street. Tobey Joseph To Run Tobey, the 17 year old school boy who ran across the country in Cash and Canry Pyle's bunion derly last year, is to enter the six day run to be held at Ascot Park this Saturday night. Joseph finished in last year's race after a bad start, but was unable to enter this year's run from coast to coast. The six day race is composed of teams and there will be ten teams. As Tobey was the baby of the first cross country race the management has teamed him with the baby of this year's race. There will be no prizes as the finishers will be paid a per cent of the gate receipts. Kid Chocolate added another one to his long list of victories Wednesday night when he beat Ignacio Fernandez the Fillipino sensation in ten hot rounds in New York. The Cuban flash had the boy from Manila beat all the way and several times had him out on his feet, but couldn't put him away. Fernandez is the boy that jumped into the spotlight some time last month when he put the skids on Al Singer the flashy little brouxie that had them all talking to themselves, because of his wonderful nights with Bud Taylor. Ignacio might have looked like a champ the night he put singer away but according to the reports received after last night's light he looked like anybody's Ham and Egger when the black boy from Cairo started throwing punches. POPULAR ORCHESTRA OPENS NEW ENGAGEMENT Jimmy Garcia, and his Orchestra have opened an engagement at the Crystal Ball Room in this city. These boys are well known on the West Coast having played at the Hollywood Roof La Doma and National Ball Room in this city. In the group are Harold Jones, piano; Georgia Davis, banjo; Albert Landry, trumpet; L. F. Grant, sax and clarinet; Molton Smith, sax and voice; Lewis Thompson, sax-clarinet and arranger and Jimmy Garcia, drums and leader. SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS Hess Elkins, fight promoter at San Bernardino, has a card this Thursday that should pack them in and no less. The old home town favorite Johnny Adams, also known as the Mountain Lion is back again on another one of his famous comebacks. Adams draws as his opponent this time, Tommy Elks a tough Mexican hombre from Arizona. The boys have met before and the Lion came out in front the last time they met, but Elks says that it will be a different tale this time. He claims that he will beat the Mountain Lion right in his own back yard, and beat him bad too. From time to time Adams has been declared through by the wise boys, but he always seems to come back for more. Not only does he come back for more but he fights in his old whirlwind style, that carried him to victory over such boys as Ace Hudkins, Joe Benjamin, Phil Salvador and many others that have passed from the fight game. Although Johnny is only 23 years old he is a veteran in the squared circle. The record books show nine years. But for all of his nine years of experience the Mountain Lion seems to have taken a new lease on the fight game and is going strong again. How long it can last is just a question of how long he can stay in condition. He hates to train. Not only has he offers to box in his home town as often as he wants but Jim Mullen of Chicago has wired him to come to the Windy city for three battles win lose or draw. Johnny made a trip to Chicago in 1927 and completely took the city with his whirlwind style of battling. So you see the San Berdoo Mountain Lion can still step a little—that is if he stays in shape. Would Like 10 Hear From Duvall The writer would like to hear from Eddie Duvall manager of boxers and sportsman of San Bernardino. Duvall has a couple of black boys that should hit the top in time and we would like to keep in touch with their doings. Write me at 847 Central Avenue Eddie and if you are in the city any time drop by the office and let me see you. BY: ART-HAMILTON Among the many notable visitors that visited the Apex Night Club last Wednesday night on professional night were John Gilbert the screen's greatest lover and Ted Lewis the most popular orchestra leader in America. The two great celebrities were loud in their praise for the great show Mosby had. They could do nothing but talk about the music and dancing, and both paid the highest of compliments to the owner of the Apex. John Gilbert the man that has made a million more or less young girls' hearts do strange things they couldn't tell about characterized Curtis Mosby's efforts thusly: 'Great show, wonderful band and most desirable atmosphere and from now on I intend to make this my rendezvous for making whoopsie. Ted Lewis, America's most widely known orchestra leader and composer of many popular song hits was not far behind Gilbert in paying his respects to the club. At his request Curtis Mosby and his incomparable Blue Blowers played Lewis's latest selection, "Walking Around in a Dream." When the boys had finished Ted said, "If I ever walked around in a dream I was doing it then Curtis; they really had me walking around in something, so I guess that it must have been a dream." Incidentally Lewis invited Mr. Mosby uptown next week so that he can present him and his famous band formally to the musical world. Ever on the lookout for the very best talent to present, his patrons, Moshy has engaged two of the most popular stage stars on the coast to star in his new show, beginning Friday. Friday night, Chick "Jelly Bean" Johnson and Ernestine Porter with many new features will be the added attractions to the fast moving revue, "Jelly Bean" is known from coast to coast for his wonderful dancing, and has just returned from a long engagement over the R, K, O circuit with Ted Lewis and his band. Known as the boy that dances with every part of his body, Johnson will introduce a brand new dance known as the Alligator Crawl and take it from me it is out of this world. If you miss this you have missed the dance among dances. Miss Porter is also known to all the show goers in and around the city and is noted for her marvelous chorus work. Clarence Muse with these new additions to work with is producing a show that is out of this world, and no less. Eagle Thomas Coming Right Along Carlo Curtis' little French Cutek, Eagle Thomas is stepping right along, and at the present time is enjoying a little bit of that thing called success. Although Eagle isn't fighting any top spots at the big clubs, the boy will bear watching and in time will be swimming along with the rest of the boys on the up and up.

Johnny Carr, popular sign painter of the avenue, is back from a weeks trip out on the desert and all he can talk about is the wonderful time that he has out in no man's land. Carr's object of all the task is known as Mitchell's Inn and is located eight miles from Las Vegas, Nevada and only 23 miles from the famous Boulder Dam Site. Mitchell's Inn 14 owned by Mr. Mitchell, formerly of Los Angeles, who went out into the wastelands some years ago to take up some government land. After years of labor Mr. Mitchell has developed a beautiful resort that is valued at $80,000. The land consists of 120 acres of cultivated land. On this huge tract of land, Mr. Mitchell has made a real play ground and place of recreation. Mr. Mitchell has a 50x125 foot pool for his many patrons.

The Midnight Express also visited the newly married Stepin Fetchit and paid his respects to the screen star and his beautiful wife. Fresh from his double victory at the A. A. A. U. meet in Denver where he defeated the best sprinters in America last week. Tolan goes on to Valeobro where he is to run in the invitational meet to be held there Friday and Saturday.

Eddie is a popular man at his college and is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. OSCAR CLISBY WINS GOLF MEET BY: ART HAMILTON Oscar Clisby of Pasadena, brother of the famous Neil Clisby, won the A. K. Bourne Cup for low net during the Pasadena City Golf Tournament held over their new Municipal links last week. During the first stages of the match, Clisby shot a remarkable 71 to tie with H. Flemmey (white) and the day before that caused no little lamentation by shooting a 70-1 under der par. The tie match was in Oscar's favor—78-79. The next day he came right back to play off the tie and he shot another low score to beat Flemmy and win the meet, and the coveted cup. This young man's game is steadily improving and although his time is limited and he can only find time to visit the links once a week, he is ratted with the best golfers in Southern California. This is not by any means the first tournament that Clisby has walked away with, as he has played in most of the outstanding playoffs in the Southland. Clisby is as well known in the Sport World as his fighting brother Neil and has always been considered a good sportsman because of his sportsmanship and courtesy on the links.

UPTON WILD SCRAMBLE FOR LINES DOOSE "PADRE" Every body's bumpin now, from the old down to the young. The Famous "Padre" Limited, formerly operated by Los Angeles crack Porkers, has passed into the hands of the San Francisco district with the exception of the observation car. The operating of this train by San Francisco, has long been the topic of discussion among the older porters of Frisco, year after year they have asked Mr. Woods to let them have this train, But each time he would give them no consideration. This year however he gave them the entire train with the exception of the observation car. This throws about ten or twelve Los Angeles Porters on the extra board who are now out gumming for a new place to roost. Many have already bumped, which activity has practically put the whole district in an masted condition. The bumping has even made changes on The "Lark", and it will be quite some time before conditions returns to normal. S. H. Burnett Retires Porter S. H. Burnett, who formerly operated the Santa Barbara line reached the retiring age last week. Having put in twenty years of service with the Pullman Co. and arrived at the age of 70 Yrs. Mr. Burnett transferred here from Kansas City, and has always taken a leading part in P. P. B. A. Affairs. At one time he received favorable mention as Delegate to the P. P. B. A. of a convention. He was a remarkably smart man in many ways. And was a very strong supporter of The Employees Repressive Plan, serving on the different election committees from time of time, although many of the porters did not always agree with his views on certain issues, he was well liked by the men for his frank admissions and pleasant personality. The Clatters only regret is that Mr. Burnett was not retired twenty years ago, so that he would be able to enjoy life to its fullest extent,for it is not said, that the average span of life is three score, and ten. MR. LEQ WAIN RETURNS MR. LEO WAIN RETURNS Mr. Leo. Wain, former car clerk, and lost property man in the-uptown office was seen doing platform duty last week during the Elks convention. Mr. Wain quit The Pullman Co. to finish his education, he is now earning a few sheckels during his vacation, and will return to school when the term opens.

The article alone is well worth the price of the magazine. JERSEY CITY ELKS One of the largest Elk specials to the convention stopped over in San Diego last week on their way to Los Angeles. A train, of ten compartment cars and two dinners. All of the pullman crew were out of P. T. and when interview by the writer, stated that they were all enjoying the trip as well as me people they were serving. They will have 5 days in which to see the sights and rest up in when they arrive in Vancouver, B. C. as there party are making a trip to Alaska. The boys intend to spread a little joy of their own accord when they reach the city. Following are the names of the crew, J. C. Wildel, P. Davis, W. L. Vangant, A. G. Baylor, P. Sams, E. M.

Do not forget that the Women's Economic Council will give a tea at the office of Mrs. Richardson 9404 Brindley St. Central Ave Gardens Sunday July, 14th from 3 to 6 P. M. Bring your friends and have a good time with the girl! Come out and get acquainted with The W. E. C. One of my informers tells me that the popular young man Mr. V. Tate, tried to wreck his automobile recently, when he thought the highway was not big enough for him. Johnny Moore, that red hot papa on the "Lark" passed the writer like a streak of lightning last Sunday in a green car. He had a green automobile filled with green gasoline. I wonder if he has got his new operators card yet? One of our most safe and sane auto drivers is Mr. J. T. Ambrose, the writer spied a bottle of water in the back of his car. May be that is what he had in his gasoline tank. Sam Tibbs was very much at home in the front seat, the girls say that there is not enough excitement among the two of them to make whoopee. Papa Pat former Pullman porter, having heard how easy it is to be a movie star, quit the Pullman Company to seek new laurels in the film field. Pat was one of the old timers in piccies and is one of the few, who can claim the distinction going abroad. He is playing Central Ave. just now. But says when they give him his price he will sign a contract. The following crack pullman porters entered Los Angeles on a deadhead last week and were doubled back the same night on the seconn "Lark" and Sunset: Dan Hood L. Robinson, E. Ollison, A. Franklin, S. O. Thompson, A. Jones, Corbin, T. H. Glazer, C. Taylor and Moneynbrook. Mr. Ross greeted the boys at the depot and told the mervey tub C. G. Scott claims to be head waiter on the kitchen car, but he is the only waiter there. A. Campbell was also doing his stuff for the boys on the kitchen car. SOUTHERN PACIFIC DOPE There's a red hot combination on dinner 1002 operating up and down the coast line. They are chef W. G. Aaron, L. L. Butler Hancock and J. Peterson in the kitchen. The waiters are Rainie Shaw L. C. Crawford F. Hunter and Red Mack. The boys tell me they are tight like that. Have just heard that Joe Powell is about to join the Bessie Coleman Aviation Club. He says that he is up in the air half the time any way. Got into a little conversation with some of the boys last week and Mr. Thomas Harison's name came up for some panning. The boys say that the popular travelling chef should have had a house-warming when he put that swell flat building up some time ago. Of course I didn’t say anything one way or the other and the panning continued. Yes! said another. He thinks Old Man Kendall is hard on the boys, that we can hard on the boys that we can hardly make a trip before we must see the man, but the writer thought that a lot of this gossip was a gudgege of some of the gang, as Mr. Thomas Harrison is a fine fellow if you hit the ball; if you miss it, and miss it intentionally, that it is up to him to find out why. That’s one of the main reasons for him being appointed Traveling Chef. It you can't hit the apple you keep travelling.

Many points of interest were brought to the attention of the members. Harry Smith, eldh of the Trustee Board, reported three men sick, who were paid the fee the club allows. Gean' Chairman Price failed to show up. Thomas E. Kiser Grievance Committee man, made a short talk advising the members to attend all meetings, in order that they might get the fullest significance of the order. The Car Cleaners did not have as big a rush with the Elks. Special trains as they did with the Shriners. Although it is chained there were more than a hundred and twenty-five thousand at the convention. Mr. Caldwell says the Shriner's rush is all over now; but the memory will live a long time. O. Miller was seen strutting his stuff on 5th and Central the other morning. He was formerly on the shift from 3'hill 11, but has been changed to the midnight watch. Miller claims that the night watch was made to order for him.

The Grand United Order Of Odd Fellows Here August 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th The city of Los Angeles, often designated the "City of the Angeles", will be the scene of the Forty-fifth season of the District Grand Lodge No. 32, and the District Grand Housedold No. 28, of the California and Oregon jurisdiction. And may we as members of this fraternity within the confines of Los Angeles, feel that it is not only our duty, but proud privilege, and pleasure to make this session one of the out standing events and accomplishments, in the already remarkable annals of our Grand Old Order. It is said that a community is measured by the service rendered by its able Citizens. So will the entertaining of the D. G. Lodge be measured in proportion to the endeavors of the Citizenry of its brotherhood. The signs which we interpret as unmistakeable indications that the cause of Odd Fellowship is rapidly gaining adherents in California, is attested by the pleasing reprints that new Lodges and Households, throughout the State are being added to our Fraternity, and the slogan, "Don't Put it Off, put it Over," is gathering momentum as it proceeds down the corridors of time. And we appeal to every brother Odd Fellow and Sister Ruthite, that there be no relaxation in our efforts, until there has been erected a home to the pioneers, and trail blazers of Odd Fellowship, in California, and from its housetop unfurl the banner of Friendship, Love and Truth, graven in letters of gold and bearing the inscription of Peace, Happiness and Prosperity.

They tell the passengers that they will take entire charge of the bags and grips and in this way kill the boys dead. It may be Hello, Bill! to some, but it is good-bye Bill to the Red Caps. Mr. Henry Davis, Red Cap at San Diego, returned from a trip down South last week and on his arrival was informed that his Sister-in-law had passed away. The boys extend their sympathy to Heury. I speak of the Lion Tamers Club in this column, for the reason that Mr. Frank Parr is one of the distinguished members; even if he is a grip snatcher. Mr. T. Lindsey Jones was host to the Lion Tamers last week and what a host he was. The surprise of the evening was sprung at the table where there appeared two baby lions stuffed to reality.

Last Sunday, July 7th a small gathering of local colored screen actors met at Spikes Bros, music shop, 4013 Central avenue to discuss the relative merits of Actors' Equity. They were assembled there at the insistence of Reb Spikes. Mr Spikes, a prominent member of the musicians' Union, has had the pleasure of attendance at two Equity meetings and has, as a consequence become highly interested in its probable outcome. His subsequent inquiries came to the attention of some of the Equity officials; who inquired of the colored brethens' attitude toward Equity. They authorized him to call a meeting to determine whether they intended to support Equity, in its present fight with the Motion Picture Producers' Association, About sixteen people attended this meeting; and, from the questions asked and the answers given, it will be safe to say, they insisted upon Equity answering these questions: What is Equity? What are they fighting for? Will colored actors be given the same rights and privileges as the whites should they join? What good is equity to the colored actor? How are they affected who do not join? Mr. Spikes announces another meeting for next Sunday, July 14th. High Equity officials will be present to answer the above questions and any additional ones. All colored actors of both the stage and screen are urged to be present. MACHINE. GUNNER—Imagine if you can, our own Victor Alexander in the bold, bad, role of a gangster. O. K. we say.

Mrs. Van Williams, in rear seat: Dear, you crossed that street forty miles per hours. Van (in front seat): So did you. Suppose you all are aware of the fact that we had'an earthquake this week. Those of you who didn't feel it heard about it. Strange things happen during an earthquake but this one got us. We are trying to find out who the young bride to be was that affectionately grabbed the married gentleman that takes the minutes for a business concern, and begged him to save her, save her. Lady, whoever you might be that young man was just like you. He too was scared to death and needed someone to save him. Next time call the police or fire department that's their business and there are plenty heroes amongst them who'd risk their life to save a bride-to-be. --- It appears that school children are not the only ones that have to take examinations from recent happenings. The Legislature recently passed a bill and Governor Young signed it, making it a law to become effective August 15th, 1929. This new law requires that every person who wishes to drive or continue driving who has not secured an operator's license since 1927 must present him or herself at the motor vehicle department before above date and take an examination to prove his fitness to manipulate in this over-populated auto world a gas wagon. Mighty good thing, for some fools not all, will be eliminated. California has over 2 million autos and of this number 1 million and some thousand are located in Los Angeles County which also is the home of the California Eagle and their Word. So this statement which is true thought not notarized is a warning to you who have autos to get busy and make the grade by taking and passing the examination otherwise you're going to be forced to patronize Mr. H. E. Huntington or the L. A. Ry. Co., or depend on your friends. Wm. Nickerson president of the greatest life insurance in the West is galavanting around his office again after associating with Elsinore folks for a couple of weeks. Last Monday night we attended the Mutual HIGH 1920 Naomi Avenue If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Page Studio Recital. Over 40 children participated in the program and displayed various degress of musical ability. Professor Page deserves great credit for being able to train the children to the point of efficiency each displayed in executing his number many of which were his own compositions and difficult. Mrs. Stella Cook, Mrs. George Rolan, Mrs. Baber and Mrs. Geneva Perkins took it upon themselves to motor to Frisco last week by themselves. No, not a man in the crowd. Even had a lady chauffeur. We understand they are burning up the bay district. Go to it, girls! but don't forget papa's not rocking the baby. We wish to compliment Mr. Thaddeus Winston, his wife and her Buck for having recognized us on the highway last Sunday. Thanks again, for the honor. Miss Doris Spears, of Providence, R. I., her illustrious aunt, Mrs. Bass, Ellavenia Dorsey and mother, constituted an auto party that enjoyed much fresh air and a scenic ride Sunday while the honorable J. B. B. had to await their return seated on the front steps because the missus had his keys in her pocket. It is said that fat people are good-natured, and it proved true in this instance. J. Dudley, the tailor, is again about his business and motoring here and there in his Dodge and Ford after being exonerated from a charge of murder. While he is free still the stigma of having killed a human being isn't a pleasant thing to have hanging on one's memory, even when justified. SANTA MONICA NEWS BY: VERNON E. S. BRUNSON THE BAY WINDOW Well, these summer days sure roll on—here's the month of June gone already—now July—with July 4th past, and there must have been a pitiful number of people left in Los Angeles that day. From the looks of things, the colored people of Southern California took the beach, ocean, and park by storm en-masse! The only vacant automobile parkings were ten blocks from the water front, in the afternoon. There was hardly standing room on the sand—it was like a picnic, only there were more people. Everybody seemed to be making a great day out of it—firecrackers, wizz-bangs, and what-nots, exploding right, left, front and rear. There sure was a crowd—believe it or not! Independence Day! We certainly all right! Even the dependent ones. Sometimes one wonders (you and I living under conditions as they are today) If America—this country that we must call our own, is really living up to the purposes that the signers of the Declaration and others, gave their lives and fortunes for? Or are they (our many light-skinned brothers and sisters) slowly, but surely, gaining the contempt of the rest of the civilized world with their prejudices and conceit. Are not the majority of American people indifferent to the welfare of the their government? Is the great wealth of the nation leading to its downfall? Money has opened the way for crime and a great disrespect for laws. Has all the nation at any one time in its history lived up to the saying of its funders—"that al men are created equal"? We too well know that conditions as they exist today. Sometimes the flay looks like a mockery. The riotous celebration of the Fourth but a slam to a great moment—A nation—a people untrue to the fundamental on which the foundations of their government were laid! Can a nation of part of the people long endure? Can men long dwell beside each other with hates and insults—consult the record of those nations gone before—there is the answer! Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. W. A. Jones, Pastor. A splendid gathering turned out to all meetings of the day. The regular Convent Day services were held. Rev. M.

The house was crowded to capacity, and showed how well the people of the Bay District appreciate these singers apperence. The folk songs and spirituals of our race are not to be son forgotten.

New York July 11.—New York's Elk lodges are not falling in line behind the proposed Holstein boom in spite of the pressure that is being brought to bear upon several prominent men min the lodge here. With a disinterested air, the lodges in the Borough of Manhattan stand off waiting the convention opening before they declare their purpose. One lodge in particular is being singled out for all kinds of attentions and inducements, but members of that lodge see in this Holstein candidacy a chance for a reprisal and open rebuke to Monarch Lodge for its failure to support another New Yorker when he was a candidate for election to the office of Grand Exalted Ruler.

The guest of honor, Mr. E. K. Jones, brought a message to the people of Los Angeles that will ever abide. He stressed the progress of the National Urban League since its inception, eighteen years ago. He spoke on the results or lack of results of the social workers in Europe and Asia, and of the interest of the National organization in educating young women and young men in the field of social work for the betterment of the race. Mr. Jones gave a series of stories illustrating the work done by the League, which were both inspiring and educational. "Not Alms but Opportunity", the slogan of the League, has been fully lived up to not only by the National headquarters, but by the many Urban Leagues throughout the United States, including our own Los Angeles branch. To Mrs. A. Hill on the Board of Directors, L. A. Urban League, goes the credit for the splendid program and general arrangements for the banquet. ```markdown ``` YOUR E NEXT Many friends were at the Southern Pacific Station July 9th, to wish to Veona Lewis a pleasant journey.

As regards the last named we understand His Royal Hinus of the movie world has engaged the Blackstone Lawyers Club intact, to defend him. Concerning this last engagement my dear boy, you better keep it for if the Blackstone bunch get a chance to sue you for reniging you'll have to work the rest of your days here on earth to pay the damages in addition to signing a peonage contract before entering heaven. As to Tunney and Kip, why the Devil will finish them as soon as the two women get judgment and collect. Let's motor on to the next item. Mrs. Van Williams, in rear seats Dear, you crossed that street forty miles per hour. Van (in front seat): So did you. Suppose you all are aware of the fact that you had an earthquake this week. Those of you who didn't feel it heard about it. Strange things happen during an earthquake but this one got us. We are trying to find out who the young bride to be was that affectionately grabbed the married gentleman that takes the minutes for a business concern, and begged him to save her, save her. Lady, whoever you might be that young man was just like you. He too was scared to death and needed someone to save him. Next time call the police or fire department that's their business and there are plenty heroes amongst them who'd risk their life to save a bride-to-be. --- It appears that school children are not the only ones that have to take examinations from recent happenings. The Legislature recently passed a bill and Governor Young signed it making it a law to become effective August 15th, 1929. This new law requires that every person who wishes to drive or continue driving who has not secured an operator's license since 1927 must present him or herself at the motor vehicle department before above date and take an examination to prove his fitness to manipulate in this overpopulated auto world a gas wagon. Mighty, good thing, for some fools not all, will be eliminated. California has over 2 million autos and of this number 1 million and some thousand are located in Los Angeles County which also is the home of the California Eagle and their Lord. So this statement which is true thought not notarized is a warning to you who have autos to get busy and make the grade by taking and passing the examination otherwise you're going to be forced to patronize Mr. H. E. Huntington or the L. A. Ry. Co., or depend on your friends. Wm. Nickerson president of the greatest life insurance in the West is galavanting around his office again after associating with Elsinore folks for a couple of weeks. Last Monday night we attended the Mutual HIGH 1920 Naomi Avenue If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Page Studio Recital. Over 40 children participated in the program and displayed various degress of musical ability. Professor Page deserves great credit for being able to train the children to the point of efficiency each displayed in executing his number many of which were his own compositions and difficult. Mrs. Stella Cook, Mrs. George Rollan, Mrs. Baba and Mrs. Geneva Perkins took it upon themselves to motor to Frisco last week by themselves. No, not a man in the crowd. Even had a lady chauffeur. We understand they are burning up the bay district. Go to it, girls! but don't forget papa's not rocking the baby. --- We wish to compliment Mr. Thaddeus Winston, his wife and her Buick for having recognized us on the highway last Sunday. Thanks again, for the honor. ```markdown ``` Miss Doris Spears, of Providence, R. I., her illustrious aunt, Mrs. Bass. Ellavenia Dorsey and mother, constituted an auto party that enjoyed much fresh air and a scenic ride Sunday while the honorable J. B. B. had to await their return seated on the front steps because the missus had his keys in her pocket. It is said that fat people are good-natured, and it proved true in this instance. * * * J. Dudley, the tailor, is again about his business and motoring here and there in his Dodge and Ford after being exonerated from a charge of murder. While he is free still the stigma of having killed a human being isn't a pleasant thing to have hanging on one's memory, even when justified. SANTA MONICA NEWS BY; VERNON E. S. BRUNSON THE BAY WINDOW Well, these summer days sure roll on—here's the month of June gone already—now July—with July 4th past, and there must have been a pitiful number of people left in Los Angeles that day. From the looks of things, the colored people of Southern California took the beach, ocean, and park by storm en masse! The only vacant automobile parkings were ten blocks from the water front, in the afternoon. There was hardly standing room on the sand—it was like a picnic, only there were more people. Everybody seemed to be making a great day out of it—firecrackers, wizz-bangs, and what-nots, exploding right, left, front and rear. There sure was a crowd—believe it or not! Independence Day! We certainly all right! Even the dependent ones. Sometimes one wonders (you and I living under conditions as they are today) if America—this country that we must call our own, is really living up to the purposes that the signers of the Declaration and others, gave their lives and fortunes for? Or are they (our many light-skinned brothers and sisters) slowly, but surely, gaining the contempt of the rest of the civilized world with their prejudices and conceit. Are not the majority of American people indifferent to the welfare of the their government? Is the great wealth of the nation leading to its downfall? Money has opened the way for crime and a great disrespect for laws. Has all the nation at any one time in its history lived up to the saying of its funders—"that al men are created equal"? We too well know that conditions as they exist today. Sometimes the flay looks like a mockery. The riotous celebration of the Fourth but a slam to a great moment—A nation—a people untrue to the fundamental on which the foundations of their government were laid! Can a nation of part of the people long endure? Can men long dwell beside each other with hates and insults—consult the record of those natives gone before—there is the answer! Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. W. A. Jones, Pastor. A splendid gathering turned out to all meetings of the day. The regular Convent Day services were held. Rev. M. Williams of Fort Worth, Texas preached at the evening services. The "Dime Drive" whose purpose was to raise funds for church furnishings was brought to a very successful close. --- Philip's Chapel C. M. E., Rev. W. M. Seldon. There was a good attendance at all services of the day. The Pastor's topic for both meetings was "Thanksgiving." The Sunday School and the Epworth League are showing progress; also the other departments of the church. *** Rev. and Mrs. Seldon recently returned from the District Conference at El Centro. First A. M. E. Church, Rev. Robert House, Pastor. A very spiritual and inspiring day was held at all services. The sermon was preached by Rev. Ed- wards, of El Centro. The Choir, under the leadership of Mrs. Carrie Dumas is planning a program, to be given in the near future. The Allen Christian Endeavor League is planning a "wennie-bake" in the near future. A large gathering of young people are expected—and the older ones too! The Utica Jubilee Singers gave a very enjoyable program in the Santa Monica Municipal Auditorium. The house was crowded to capacity, and showed how well the people of the Bay District appreciate these singers apperence. The folk songs and spirituals of our race are not to be son forgotten. In them are found the first real American melodies. And the Utica Singers bring our all the songs heart throbbing qualities. Misses. Archy Mae, and Felma Tolbert are spending their vacation days in Texas. Miss Vercy Williams is visiting her grandmother at St. Louis. Miss Francis Herbert spent Sunday with Miss Lucile Maxwell of Fifth Street. On the Forth, Miss Maxwell entertained a number of guest from Los Angeles. All reported a very enjoyable time. When you think about it folks, Along its winding way You'll find it tall of jokes. Some may not seen, Like jokes at first— Its how you learn to take them! That makes the good or worst! Its all in how you learn To take all things in Life That make a joke Of all the toil and strife. For all that ever can happen; There's a sunny cap to fit— In the darkest hour there's a grin— If you look for it. V. E. S. B. El Centro News BY: MATTIE G. KUYKENDALL The Vacation Church which was conducted at the Second Baptist Church during the past four weeks closed its session last Friday with an entertainment and exhibition of the work done by the children during the period, and a program of exercises.

BITCH MANAGER NEGROES GROWING HEALTHIER NEGROES GROWING HEALTHIER New York City, July 11 (By The Associated Negro Press) According to the report of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the Negro race is growing healthier, as years go by instead of becoming extinct as was at one time predicted by statisticians and health-experts some twenty years ago. This report, which appeared in the Bulletin published, by the company stated: "The current decade and the immediately preceding one have witnessed material improvement in the life span of both white and colored Americans. But in childhood, in adolescence and in early adult life, where the gain have been greatest, the drop in deathrate of the colored people has almost matched that of the white. At all ages combined, and after age 25, the improvement for Negroes, substantial, as it is, approximates only 10 MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. Phonn: WEstmore 2060 one-half that for the whites. "Between 1911 and 1927, the mortality rate of the Negroes at all ages dropped 177 per cent, as compared with 31.6 per cent for the whites. It is true that, by comparison, the improvement of the white policyholder has surpassed the health progress shown for the colored. But when we consider that it was not much more than twenty years ago when extreme pessimism was expressed as to the future of the Negro in America, the gain he has made is impressive, indeed. Some students of Negro health conditions even went so far as to predict that the colored race in this country was headed for extinction. Instead, during a period in which we had a World War, two great pandemics of influenza and a great migration of Negroes from the farms of the South to the cities of the North, the Colored race has registered a declining death-rate. Colored men who left the South, exchange for the most part agricultural work for that of the iron and steel mills, the coal-mines, and other fields of labor in which the Negro, brought up in a rural environment, was noet expected to thrive physically. Many of these Negro migrants suffered seriously from inadequate housing. This situation, which was acute in some cities, led to higher mortality. Were it not for this heavy migration, the improvement in Negro mortality would certainly have been much greater. "The greatest single factor in the improvement of the mortality rate of the Negro during this period has been the decline in the death-rate for tuberculosis. While the gain for all causes combined was 17.3 per cent that for tuberculosis was 44.7 per cent. With respect to this disease, the gain for colored approximates three-quarters that for the whites. In childhood, each race made about the same amount, of improvements, and each by 1927, had more than halved the death-rate of the three-year period 1911-1913. "Thus for tuberculosis (which was the chief cause of death for each race twenty years ago) as well as for all causes combined, gains have been experienced regardless of color and age. Other studies have shown that improvement has also been achieved regardless of economic condition, in all sections of the country, in both the rural and urban population, and in virtually every branch of industry." Come and See A good place to worship; have you tried it? The services at the 1st A. M. E. Zion Church Pico & Paloma Sts. offers three distinct benefits to every worshipper who enters her portal. First a larger fellowship. Second additional information. Third—greater inspiration. The solution of every problem is to be found in this trinity of virtues. Come and be your own judge; you will leave feeling better. The July subjects are not published, but each subject will be carefully selected and prepared.

The program between the churches was well balanced and those representing their respective churches rendered their parts well without exceptions. The program generally was so good that the audience found it difficult to decide which was the better of the two. The best part, however, of the whole concert was the fine spirit of fellowship and good-will existing between the two Contesting Churches. By agreement between the Contesting churches the date of the closing of the Contest was postpone until Tuesday night July 30.

"Although this courageous conduct on the part of the wife of the President has produced a storm of criticism from the intolerant and bigoted, we hereby express our admiration and satisfaction at her stand and detestation of the motives of her critics."

"The future of the American Negro is in his own hands. It is up to him to get what he wants in this country politically and economically. He cannot get by hoping for it. He has to prepare and then get what he is prepared for. He must have a leadership that is not hungry, cannot be bought off and is willing to fight to the last ditch." The above paragraph spoken by Oscar DePriest has the true ring of statesmanship and but accentuates his sterling qualities of leadership and confirms the thought that he is the right man in the right place. In this connection, before Mr. DePriest entered upon his duties as Congressman and even before, there were many who shook their heads and predicted his failure; at this time he has not only overcome this thought, but has demonstrated beyond peradventure that he is equal to any occasion and is not only a fit statesman for his own particular district, the 1st Congressional District of Illinois, but for all the nation as well. His course has been one of action, positive position unafraid and diplomatic as well. He is loved and appreciated by his friends and not unliked by his enemies, the gentlemen from the Southland. Going further, having in mind his spoken truths as quoted at the head of this article, we must say he has the vision of the solution of our problems, for truly a hungry leadership which has ever been with us is the weight which has held us down.

We see no alarming signs of more people take it for granted, because a man, and because he was surrounded by and unselfishness patriotism, that the days of unsullied purity in public a human nature was the same then as and unscrupulous, and not even Was actor seems in the light of history, estives and conduct.

The fact is, we have presented to inspiring examples of political leaderser contributed to the civic instructioniple. Never has the democratic spirit the appeal to the good sense and constructly made or more sympathetically. These are some of the reasons which cuse for pessimism in regard to human timism. Human nature is the same tion, as it was in the time of Julius Caes. Ages may modify it a little, su the fundamentals are eternal. We often hear the opinion expressed that this is a degenerate age and that this country particularly is traveling to the canines. Obviously this is too despondent a judgment, and there is very little in present day conditions to justify it. In many respects this is the best age the world has ever known, and while the rapid growth of population and the tremendous exploitation of our national resources have somewhat narrowed the field of individual initiative and its realization in America, it is still a country full of more opportunities, more blessedness, than have ever before existed. Granting that there is much that is profoundly wrong and remediable in our civilization, there is every reason to believe that the promise of a republic of general justice, well-being and content is being constantly more and more fulfilled. In a period when invention, enterprise, activity and skill are working undreamed of miracles, it is impossible that the average of well-being should not be visibly increased. This is why we say that America still means opportunity. Of course this opportunity, unless we are unworthy of it, must be improved, not alone in the accumulation of individual wealth, but to the promotion of the common welfare. Moral and intellectual America must become as eminent as material America, or we shall have wasted our opportunity. There is a lamentable tendency to make dimension, size, weight and speed the slogans of our country, but we believe this is only a passing phase of American life. These things cannot compensate for ideals for art, for true greatness, and their obtrusiveness at the present time should only serve to remind us that the price we have to pay for the good things we enjoy is constant watchfulness lest they be employed for harmful purpose—that it is not the splendor of material success but "character and ideals and spiritual elevation which make the excellency of a people, as of a man." We see no alarming signs of moral decay in our political life. Most people take it for granted, because Washington was a good and great man, and because he was surrounded by a number of men of lofty ideals and unselfishness patriotism, that the early days of the republic were days of unsullied purity in public and private life. The truth is that human nature was the same then as now. Men were selfish, ambitious and unscrupulous, and not even Washington himself, noble as his character seems in the light of history, escaped accusations of improper motives and conduct. Indeed, during his second term he was assailed as virulently as any president of our time has been, and we won't even except the much maligned Andrew Jackson. The fact is, we have presented to us today as bold, courageous and inspiring examples of political leadership and public debate as have ever contributed to the civic instruction and progress of the American people. Never has the democratic spirit been more in evidence; never has the appeal to the good sense and conscience of the masses been more directly made or more sympathetically heard. These are some of the reasons why we say that there is as little excuse for pessimism in regard to human nature as there is for undue optimism. Human nature is the same today as it was during the Revolution, as it was in the time of Julius Caesar, as it was in the time of Pericles. Ages may modify it a little, superficially, in matters of taste, but the fundamentals are eternal.

These recommendations were inspired by the knowledge that many traffic accidents are due to faulty construction of cars and to defects which proper maintenance would correct. Acting in line with the findings and suggestions of the conference: Secretary of Commerce Lamont has just appointed a maintenance of motor vehicles committee to study the mechanical condition of motor vehicles and to suggest ways of improving that condition. This national study needs no other justification than the fact that in the half dozen states in which systematic motor, vehicle inspections were conducted last year 1,700,000 vehicles had defective brakes, 230,547 had improper lights, 77,643 had defective steering gears and 200,000 were below legal requirements in other respects. These figures assume alarming proportions, when it is remembered that only 5,057,480 motor vehicles were inspected. The knowledge that mechanical defects are the cause of or a contributing factor in a large number of motor accidents suggests a practical method of attack on the traffic-accident problem. Secretary Lamont's committee doubtlessly will recommend periodic inspections of EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened away safety. It rights are prima urs are operated the south African government. It cannot be gainsaid but that the active participation of religious leaders in active politics has done more to bring the church into disrepute than any other agency. "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesars" is just as applicable to day as when spoken nineteen hundred years ago. It is hoped that the department of justice will take due cognizance of Congressman Tinkhams letter. * * * . * Delegates representing the various in annual session in late June.

Delegates representing the various associations of welfare workers were in annual session in late June. They met in San Francisco. Every branch of social and recreational activity was represented. Among them was the Urban League a Negro activity for the betterment of racial conditions. In fact there was a representation of all the racial groups that go to make up the nation. And it seems that all had some problem to solve. One of the speakers, a Japanese, addressing the assembly stated that the problem with them was, "What will the status be, as citizens of the nation, of those Japanese who are American born in the next generation? They will have lost all touch with the Orient, will have become thoroughly Occidental. But, will the inhabitions now placed upon them still cling, or will the "melting pot" have assimilated them. The speaker could be answered by saying that, "Most racial problems are created by political expediency. For years the American Negro was made the factor in politics for the creation of "problems." As other matters became of more consequence the problem became less acute. To day it is kept alive, more by the activities of race leaders, than by racial antipathies. If in a generation from now Japanese, how-ever Americanised, still stand out as a racial unit, they will be liable to the same problems that confronted the Negro with the record of a century of American life and a historic weave in the woof of the nation. In spite of the claim that he was unable to be assimilated there has been no place where he has not been able to fit when the opportunity presented itself. Naturally, the Japanese, like most ailiens, will have behind them a national background. The Negro has none. He is thoroughly American. Efforts to alienate him have proved futile. True it is, that many of the rights which are guaranteed him by the laws of the nation have been nullified but a wider contact is bringing a better understanding. Slow, but sure: As we stated, when some demagogue in politics wants to raise an issue he picks the easiest one, and that is human hates. Imaginary "menaces" and "perils" are conjured up and if the Japanese or any other "ese" happen to be the most convenient object; the problem is raised. After months of investigation the Negro firemen of the ill fated steamer Vestris were cleared of any neglect of duty or cowardice. Complaints chiefly from passengers claiming residence in the United States, claimed that the crew of the Vestris which was made up most of West Indian Negroes, acted in a manner detrimental to strict discipline and contributed largely to the loss of life. The findings of the inquiry board which sat in London, England, stated otherwise and said that the crew emulated the action of the captain, which was one of bravery. The world was made aware of the heroic rescues made by Negro individuals in the saving of many lives from the sea, but there was a shadow over all sign of cowardice, but that the Negro firemen stuck to their post until the last. No comment need be made on the result of the investigation. Negro devotion to duty is well known. PLAIN FACTS BY: DR. RUTH J. TEMPL2 Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Female, 503 E. 22nd St., Phone, HC 419 or VA 12211 QUERIES ANSWERED Most of the following questions have come in from girls under 20 years of age. We as older travelers on life's journey greatly, appreciate the keen interest which is taken in this column by our younger readers, and we trust to so fully answer all of your questions that you will be able to sense that appreciation. Some of the questions cover ground that has previously been covered by former articles, nevertheless we feel that if you as young people are willing or anxious enough for knowledge to submit your queries we are certainly interested enough to give as clear an answer as is possible, tho that answer may involve some repetition: Question—"is a two plus (2X) syphilis very bad?" Answer—This question is put just a little inaccurately. I think that Miss innocent meant to ask whether a blood test revealing a 2 X Wasserman or other test for syphilis was very bad. Yes, dear, a 2 X Wasserman or other positive reaction for syphilis is certainly very bad." It means that the individual giving the reaction, or on whom the test is token has positive syphilis. The number of plus signs after the test (that is 1 X, 2 X or 4 X) usually indicate the apparent severity of the disease at that particular time, but even at that syphilis is syphilis and its vatiros one and all are subject to any one, or to each and everyone of the signal symptoms and dissaters which may attend the disease. Question—"Can syphilis be cured entirely from the blood stream?"—Baffled. Answer—The most specific method of treating syphilis is by injections directly into the blood stream or by rubbing or injecting Maternal into the other tissues of the body which will find its way into the blood stream with any disease the treatment should always include general hygienic measures and general health measures which affect the whole body and not just one part of it, for whatever disease is present has its effect on all tissues and all parts of the our body house to a greater or less extent than on one specific act. Therefore the treatment of syphilis while directed in a specific manner to the blood stream should also include the general measures known thru hygiene to increase bodily resistance and its ```markdown ``` all motor vehicles by state agencies in the interest of highway safety. It is the next logical step in traffic regulations. Poor brakes, faulty steering apparatus and bad lights are prima facie evidence of operating incompetency. Defective cars are operated only by deficient drivers. You can tell a good neighborhood. The bill collectors are too light for rough-house work. What we need is a great magazine filled with articles showing how and why prominent failures got that way. Famous men get letters of two kinds: Letters of praise from intelligent people and disaggreable letters from cranks. A HUGE TASK With the summer season in full swing the Department of Water and Power faces the responsibility of delivering to homes, office buildings and factories in Los Angeles an average of 225,000,000 gallons of water a day, it was announced by H. A. Van Norman, general manager City's water supply. Thus the task of supplying the water wants of a great city becomes greater than at any other time of the year. "Much of the water delivered to Los Angeles consumers is raised a distance of 900 feet after reaching the city," said Mr. Van Norman. "And in delivering water to districts spread over an area of 440 square miles, the largest Municipal area in the United States, we must lift the water to elevations varying from sea level to 1400 feet above sea level. "In order properly to distribute water to Los Angeles residents 3300 miles of water mains are required. Our system is the second largest in the United Stated, being exceeded in size only by New York City with its 7,000,000 population as against the 1,300,000 of Los Angeles. Despite the tremendous task of serving the citizens of Los Angeles we have been able thus far to maintain the very low rate of 13 cents per 100 cubic feet compared with 18 cents charged, in 183 cities in the United States." Since twice the amount of water is used in summer than in winter the necessity of providing large storage reservoirs in close proximity to the points of consumption is evident, Mr. Van Norman said. At present there are 28 reservoirs and 19 tanks in and near Los Angeles, he said, but the need for added storage is imperative. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON The hot weather has driven most of the state officials to seek cool and inviting places. Rendezvous of mountain, lake and purling stream have beckoned and they have hearkened to the call. Every body who could, availed themselves of the opportunity of fleeing from the torrid spell which for the past two weeks has held the region of the Capital city in its grasp. As a consequence there has been very little news of a political character, and activities under the Dome have been at the minimum. Rumors have been afloat as to the intention of Governor Young seeking the nomination for a second term, but they have received no verification. The Governor has been too busy with the affairs of legislation and carrying out his policy of reorganization in the state government to give much thought to the fixing up of his political fences. Yet he has been among the most efficient of California executives. He has seen his plan of state government work from a theory to a practical consumption. He has insisted on a strict accounting of the department heads and the monthly councils have had a beneficial effect in the workings of the states government. He has aimed to be the governor of California and in the distribution of improvements has been impartial in his recommendations. We guess that politics in the National Capital is about as quiet as in California. The only thing that seems to have a head line is the De-Priest affair. We are inclined to belief that there is just many Negro damphools as of any other group. It is hard to see any reason for a compilation of any list. Negroes or others, who have been entertained, in an official capacity, by the executive heads of the nation. Such a list was purported as coming from the department of labor and made public by an employee in the bureau of conciliation. Such affairs should be treated with the dignity of silence. You do not hear one comment from any of the guest who were present. All of the "Yawp" comes from those "not present" and liable to never be. The letter of Congressman Tinkham, Republican, Massachusetts, to the Attorney General, Mitchell, Department of Justice, calling attention to the political activities of the board of temperance, public morals and prohibition during the presidential election campaign of 1928 has created a furore in church circles of the Protestant belief. Congressman Tinkham in his letter to the Attorney General Says. "I desire to bring to your attention for investigation by your department and for prosecution under the criminal statute known as the federal corrupt practices act 1925, the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which Clarence True Wilson is said to be general secretary and Deets Pickett is said to be research secretary." Continuing, the letter read, "Literature, which must have coslarged sums of money was distributed during the 1928 campaign to influence the election of a president and other political officers, and that Wilson travelled extensively making political speeches." Tinkham claims, that he has reason to believe that money was otherwise expended in the campaign for political purposes and that the board has filed no statement of expeditures. "This ecclesiastical political organization" the letter further continued, "has violated the spirit of the American constitution, which proclaims the separation of church and state." To influence religious morals is true function of the church. When the church seeks to influence the political thought of the nation it is stepping out of its useful sphere. This column has always been outspoken against the activities of churchmen, other than individuals, taking active part in partisan politics. No one church more than another has any right to seek to influence the choice of public officials. A protestant denominational church has no right to do that which it decries in a church of different religious views. Candidates for political office seek the influence of Negro preachers with the belief that they can influence their congregation. Nine times out of the ten that preacher has about as much influence with his flock as an African Kaffar has with associations of welfare workers were they met in San Francisco. Every activity was represented.

Negro disease dispelling power Question—"Can a person inherit syphilis and break out with sores at regular periods?" Answer—Yes indeed they can Congenital or hereditary syphilis carries with it eruptions and sores just the same as the acquired form and these sores are often as we learned in a past talk, one of the very first signs of congenital or inherited syphilis. The sores begin often around the mouth, or arms and palms of the hands and soles of the feet and may cover the entire body or only a part of the same. They often disappear only to reappear at a later interval in another form. Question—“Can these diseases such as syphilis be cured?”—Anxious Answer—Yes medical science considers today that most cases of syphilis if taken in time can be cured and the author considers that a large percentage of the cases of gonorrhoea if taken in time can be cured. On the other hand unfortunately no case of syphilis and no case of gonorrhoea can be absolutely positive of a cure, as one doctor has put it, “Man usually knows when he gets a veneral disease, but God alone knows when he gets rid of it.” OPEN LETTER TO REV. BOB SHULER. Los Angeles, Calif., July 6, 1929 Rev.Bob Shuler. Trinity Methodist Church, Los Angeles, California. Bean Sir: This letter pertains to your radio talk of last Thursday night about Mrs. Hoover and the wife of Congressman DePriest. I have been listening in on your talks for sometime and was converted to vote for Hon. John C. Porter for mayor from your talk. At the outset, I must say that I admire your frankness in expressing your views and take it for granted that you will tolerate frankness in others. I must confess, however, that I cannot co-relate your pleading attitude and profession of friendship for colored people before election with your caustic malicibus utterances on Thursday night. I suspect, however, that votes for your candidate prompted you and not justice and fair play. Mrs. Hoover, an exemplification of true American womanhood without bias, tries to maintain the high ideals of this country and draws the criticism of a few narrow minded bigots whose tribe has endeavored to retard the progress of America for over half a century. Your talk Thursday night, the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, places you in this category and the fervency of your plea to prejudice and race hatred justifies my suspicion that your past utterances were a camouflage to get votes for your can- FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1929 didate while your soul was still bitter. The founders of this country guaranteed independence of thought and action to all Americans; yet, you took occasion on Independence Day to criticise the First Lady of the land for exercising her right, and at the same time villify a whole race because the wife of their representative joined in carrying out one of the established customs of the land. You would dictate how Mrs. Hoover should conduct her official household just as you are instinning how the First Gentleman of this great Metropolis should carry out "la-Shuler," the splendid platform of efficiency and good government that he so ably espouses. You are trying to compromise the Rev. A. P. Shaw, one of our outstanding men of the city by linking his name with your unholy propaganda. I personally know that he stands at all times for true Americanism, broad Christian fellowship and an avowed champion of the rights of men. He does not stoop to the things you advocate. In justice to him you should publicy apologize for discrediting an honorable Christian gentleman who holds the high esteem of all the people. Your vicious propaganda broadcast on last Thursday night will do more to disrupt the harmony and pleasant relationship of the two races in this city than you can explain with prayer and penance the rest of your days. Don't you know that any obstacle placed in the pathway of peace and harmony, which is the Kingdom of God on earth, carries before God as much condemnation as breaking every commandment in the Decalogue? Yours truly, J. A. SOMERVILLE. MRS. RICHARDSON SPEAKS AT. CLUB At the monthly meeting of the Chicago Woman's Club of Los Angeles (white) Mrs. A. C. Richardson was the principal speaker of the afternoon. After a most splendid cafeteria lunchon and the business meeting Mrs. Richardson in her gracious manner and her pleasing voice spoke of the progress of the American Negro and especially his progress in Los Angeles and of the many different race institutions telling the Club many things that the Negro women were doing for their race much of which the club women knew nothing about. Mrs. Richardson was well received and loudly applauded for her splendid address and asked to come to them again in the near future. Dr. Gibson spoke as she always does, in highest terms of the Negro as she knows them, of their wonderful qualities, their usefulness as citizens and their unparalleled progression along all lines of advancement. Mrs. Richardson spoke to the June graduation class at Occidental College. Mr. Patton's manager of the Utica Jubilee Singers, also spoke. A'PRAYER! In Memory of Our Deceased Father Mr. E. L. Reed Dear God, we do humbly thank Thee, That thou has spared us to see this day And, altho my heart is breaking, I can write, I can smile, I can pray. Altho we will miss our father, As Thou hast summoned him home to rest. May we know it was Thy hand work And believe, it was all for the best. Please Dear God let his spirit guide us. And help us to dry our tears. Let is shield us from all evil as we live, every day, thru the years. We thank Thee that thru Thy Mercy, He suffered no very great pain, Oh just and merciful Father, Do help us to meet him again! NOTED PIANIST COMING Clyde L.
