Wilson Re-Elected BY: SPECIAL STAFF WRITER OAKLAND, CAL., July 17. The 75th Annual Session of the Masonic Grand Lodge, F. & A. M., convened at the Elks Rest in this city on last Monday at 10 o'clock A. M. Nearly every Lodge in the jurisdiction was represented by one or more representatives and 81 Past Masters respond to roll call. There was no delay in starting off the work which called the representatives to the 75th Annual Session. The Most Worshipful Grand Master, J. H. Wilson, presided over all sessions. Monday evening was the public Reception, which was largely attended. Mayor John L. Davie delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city. The address was well received and he lived up to all expectations. He devoted quite a deal of time to his recent trip to Europe with much information and delight to his hearers. Bishop H. B. Parks made the response to the Mayors welcome and electrified the audience with his strong, forceful and major flights of rhetoric. It was the outstanding event of the evening. Attorney J. Maurice very creditably filled the position of Master of Ceremonies. Manan A. Bridges, delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the citizens. Mrs. Melba Carter delivered the address on behalf of the Eastern Star. Mrs. Aline Houston, Grand Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star imade the response, Mrs. Houston, made a most wonderful impression with a telling address upon the work of the Eastern Star. Rev. S. M.

July 18 (By the Associated Negro Press) Funeral services of Thomas Pettiford, 88 were held from the A. M. E. Church here Friday and were attended by a large number of colored and white citizens. Mr. Pettiford bore the distinction of being one of the free free born Negroes who enlisted in the confederate army during the Civil War. He was born in Person County, North Carolina, in 1841. When the war broke out he enlisted in the 24th Regiment of North Carolina State Troops, serving as cook. Although serving in this capacity he established a record of bravery and gallantry under fire. Stories of how he brought up provisions for the confederate soldiers under the fire of the Union soldiers, and of his deeds in rescuing white comrades, are legendary here. One of the famous episodes of his life is related frequently concerning the shooting of a barrel of provisions from his shoulder and how he withstood the danger of being killed to pick-up his supplies which were among the last in the possession of the regi- ment. Last Thursday at the Sojourner Trouth Home, The Federated Club Women showed their appreciation and love to Miss Mary E. Reed, by giving her a most beautiful luncheon, and a trip to the State Convention of Federated Clubs, that meet in Fresno, July 23rd to 26th. Miss Reed who has served as a most efficient and faithful secretary of the Sojourner Truth Club; The Presidents' Council; Corresponding secretary and then Financial Secretary of the Calif. Federation; and writer of the Federation club news was given this diligent tribute. A tribute and giving the flowers now, when she can see their beauty and smell their fragrance. Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, 3rd Vice-President of the State acted as mistress of ceremonies. Mrs. Ada Jackson, chairman of the Executive Board spoke in behalf of the federation. MISS MARY REED Mrs. J. M. Scott, president of the Sojourner Truth Club, spoke in behalf of Sojourner Truth Club. Mrs. L. Butler, supt. of music spoke of pioneer days, when Miss Reed was an excellent pianist, and the negro Nat'l Anthem was sung. Miss Reed in her quiet, unassuming magner responded in a few well chosen, pointed remarks. Indeed Thursday was a very full day. In the morning board meeting was held with State officers making their final year reports, and rounding up all unfinished work. Then the Luncheon. After which in the afternoon the Reciprocity meeting was held clubs making their final year reports, endorsements of State officers, and paying of State and Nat'l. tax. Mrs. E. Monroe Beavers Supt. of Reciprocity presented three numbers by Mrs. Lauretta Butler's Kiddies and a most excellent paper, "child Rearing" by Mrs. Hattie Baldwin. Thus ended a full perfect day except the sad news of the death of Mrs. R. E. Banks, a faithful worker and Supt. of credentials. A prayer was offered by Mrs. Elsie Westheimer State Chapain, and a song to her memory. Resolutions were sent to the family. The Friendship Baptist Church At Pasadena Celebrates 36th Anniversary That indomitable leader and pastor, William D. Carter of the Friendship Baptist church, Pasadena, with his flock, this week, celebrated and reviewed the thirty-six years of progress of the church. History of Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena, California History is a narrative and record of the achievements, events, and deeds of a country, nation, people or society. To give history accurately is quite a task. To write even a brief history of a Christian church giving minutely and accurately its struggles and achievements is almost impossible, for many important facts in the flight of time pass from the historian's memory every year. We have a more precise history of the Friendship Baptist church with an approximate accuracy of facts, hoping they will be of much (Please turn to page 2) LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1929 The California State Baptist Convention The California State Baptist Convention held a most inspiring meeting here during the week July 10-14. The meeting was an assembling of Bastist throughout the state. There was no Northern California no Southern California but one big get-together, having for its object the development of the church work, the unifying of Christ forces, and a hearty co-operation in establishing racial contact an civic righteousness. Heading this host of workers was the Rev. Mr. Hubbard, D. D. of Oakland. He is pastor of the Beth Eden Church, Oakland and was selected temporary president by the organizing convention which met in Fresno in February. He is an excellent executive, a tireless worker, a Christian gentleman and his demeanor and ability served much to make the meeting a success. Membership in the Convention is confined to no Association, to no church but all are invited and welcomed into the organization. This appeal attracted so many and it seems as if the State Convention will be the means whereby the resourses of the denomination can be conserved. The Auxiliaries of the Convention are the Women's Convention, presided over by Mrs. W. D. Carter of Pasadena; the Sunday School Convention presided over by Miss Welcher of Hanford; the B. Y. P. U. Convention presided over by Miss A. Mai Griffith of this city. There was organized during the meeting The laymen's League, S. P. "Johndon, president. The executives of all these organizations brought helpful messages in their annual addresses and made many outstanding recommendations. Dr. Hubbard's address appears in this issue of The Eagle. There were a number of outstanding sermons and addresses. The Conventional sermon was preached by Dr. T. L. Griffith, vice-president at-large, the doctrinal sermon by Rev. F. H. Prentice; the educational sermon by Rev. Thomas; the Sunday Morning sermon by Dr. J. P. Hubbard and the closing sermon by Rev. R. H. Holt. The convention had as guests Mrs. S. W. Layton, president of the Women's Convention, "National Baptist Convention; Dr. Scruggs, Dean of the Theological Department of Western University, Topeka, Kan. Music was finished during the Convention by the several choirs of the city and the surrounding towns. A program of unusual merit and interest was the one on Friday evening conducted by the B. Y. P. U. Convention, Miss Griffith, president. An hour was given over to and International musical. The following groups contributed numbers: Hungarians, Japanese, Russians; Mexican, Germans, White Americans, Afro Americans. Addresses were develiered by Rev. J. T. Muse of Woodland and W. A. Payne of El Centro. Music was furnished by the choir of the St. Paul Baptist Church and the Morris Orchestra of the Friendship Baptist Church, Pasadena. The convention closed Sunday. The mass meeting Sunday afternoon was largely attended. Mrs. Layton brought an inspiring address telling of the missionary work that is being done. A very liberal contribution was made to missions at this session. The next meeting of the convention will be held in Oakland in July. All officers were re-elected and the delegates departed to their homes greatly encouraged and pledged to do bigger work next year. From the many visitors were expressions of appreciation of the hospitable entertainment given by Dr. Griffith and his members. The convenience of the church edifice, and the interest and cordiality of the members made a very happy setting for the meeting. PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL ADDRESS, CALIFORNIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENT- J. P. Hubbard 3017 Dohn St. Berk- ley, Calif. My fellow-citizens and co-laborers: This is a most important occasion. We are met here from the length and breadth of our beautiful state. We are here with one great principle motivating us; that as a body of Christian workers, we may assimilate, fraternize and grow a deeper spirit of comradeship and fellow-feeling. The time has come when nations, races and individuals desire to do things together in four institutions. (Dear Doc. Four Pleasures.) Last Saturday evening, Hon. J. B. Bass, editor in company with Arthur Hamilton, Sport Editor for this journal, left for the north. Mr. Bass, feeling that he needed a vacation, figured this was a profitable time for one as the weather was getting quite warm, and too the Grand Council of Masons was convening this week. "Ae we go to press this week, we felt at a loss without the Editor, but feel that he needs the rest, and hope when we returns, will be benefited by the trip. Pickens Says N. A. A. C. P. "Now Respectable (By Associated Negro Press.) Cleveland, Ohio, July 17—William Pickens, in what he called an "Unpremaried and humpmus" address at N. A. J. C. Conference, Friday night, 28th midnight. "Twenty years ago it was unspectable to belong to this Association—wise heeds' advised the young against it. Perfectly good and loyal segreges were suspicious of everything is relative; and now it has become respectable to be a member, and some of the Association people in their turn have grown suspicious of other forward movements, and cry 'radical' as loudly against others as the conservatives of 20 years ago cried against the Association. It seems that 'radicalism' and 'conservatism' are merely relative terms, describing distance from or nearness to the ideas of the ruling powers of the day. "Those who became members years ago acquired a reputation for radicalism which has outlived the fact that the ideas for which they stod are no longer radical. Their ideas are been largely adopted. But altho never adopted the ideas of a radical fighter, they never adopt him. They may acknowledge the reform, but they stone the reformer to death. "Absolutely the Association is much more radical in its claims today than it was 20 years ago; but relatively it is much less radical, because others have advanced their ideas. Some even blame the Association now for its conservatism, and, some members of the association are really growing afraid of radicals. That is history repeating itself." (By The Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., July 15—Shriners of Medina Temple No. 39, with its 46 piece band marching club elaborately regaled drill team made up a colorful congregation Sunday afternoon, at Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, Newstead and Enright avenues. The occasion was National Jubilee celebration for members of the Mystic Order, giving praise thrugh religious services for their deliverance from enemies who sought to take from them their fraternal privileges. Driver Killed, Three Injured In Taxi Crash Last Sunday evening about 11:00 o'clock Lincoln Alexander, of 2516 E. 20th Street, Reed Caffey, 1130 I.2East 38th Street, Clifford Henderson of 1458 E. 20th street, called a taxicab at 23rd Street and Central Avenue, and ordered the driver to take them to an address out in the south end of the city. Just after they had gone a few blocks, the driver of the taxi, Ray Messenger, in trying to avoid a collision with another auto, ran into the street car, setting the taxi on fire. Passerby assisted the occupants from the wrecked car. Messenger was killed instantly while the other three were treated at the hospital for internal in- ATTEMPTS TO LYNCH Lathers Charge White GIRL'S ASSAILANT Unions with Threats ATTEMPTS TO LYNCH Lathers Charge White GIRL'S ASSAILANT Unions with Threats Colored Men Jailed Charged With Rape A few evenings ago, a white woman appeared at one of our Nite Clubs on the Avenue, and applied for a position for herself and dancing partner. She claims that after talking with the manager she started home, and was met by a Mr. Harris, who offered to take her home in his car, which she accepted, but instead of taking her to her home, he carried her to some lovely spot and there attempted assault her. As the case was called before the Court, the white woman had given her phone number to several other colored men, who were dragged into the net. The case is set for a later date, at which time we hope to be able to give more information regarding the same. Paris, Ill. July 18 (By the A. N. P.) Efforts were made here Tuesday night, by a large group of Negro citizens to remove William H. Mc Amy, charged with attacking a young colored girl here Monday, from the jail and lynch him. Mc Amy, who is alleged to hail from Chicago was arrested Monday and placed in the local jail. Tuesday night the ie of the citizens had reached such a pitch that the talk of lynching the assistant of the girl was suggested on every corner and later a group appeared at the jail and demanded the prisoner. The jailer succeeded in dissuading them from the intention and the mob dispersed. Wednesday night found extra guards on duty to protect the prisoner as the anger of the citizens had not cooled one whit. Negro Solon's Wife Calls Mrs. Hoover Fine Hostess (By Associated Press) Chicago, July 17—Mrs. Oscar de Priest, wife of the only Negro congressman, made a three-minute talk last night to 300 women of the Pilgrim Baptist Church describing her impressions of the White House and its mistress. Mrs. de Priest, whose husband represents the First Illinois district, was speaking of her impressions as a guest at a tea for congressmen's wives given at the White House, June 12th. She said she found Mrs. Hoover a most charming woman—a cosmopolite. Mrs. William E. King, wife of a Negro legislator, introduced Mrs. de Priest as the "logical helpmate of the distinguished congressman and the recent tea guest of the first lady of the land." "The President's wife is a wonderful hostess," Mrs. de Priest said, "I believe she possesses a great soul. She is quiet and unassuming—quite modest. But she has all the dignity the position demands. The other ladies at the party discussed suc problems as you and I might discuss at a Sunday afternoon in this church. "There was no excitement when I entered the White House. All the storm of criticism has been stirred up since—outside the capital, mostly below the Mason and Dixon line." The Los Angeles Express, July 18 Man Who Substituted For White Man in Civil War, Dies Superior, Wis., July 17—William Woodson, 86, who substituted for a white man during the Civil War, died here Friday, and was buried Saturday. Woodson substituted for a drafter for the sum of $50 and marched with Sherman to the Ses. He was highly respected and as while he was the only Negro living in Oliver, Wisconsin, he was elected Justice of the Peace of the village. (Bv: A N P) New York City, July 17.—Much action is promised in the forthcoming battle between Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander and her wealthy white father-in-law, when the $50,000 suit filed by the former comes up for settlement. This fact became known when Rhinelander announced that he would fight the case to the bitter end. The Rhinelanders have proved "good copy" for some time now, as teir suits, counter suits, and whatnots have been brought to the public eye. Mrs. Rhinelander charges that her father-in-law compelled Kip to attempt to annul their marriage and has now influenced him to set up a residence in Reno for the purpose of securing a divorce. Lathers Charge White Unions with Threats Chicago, July 17(Buy: A. N. P.) Chicago, July 17(By: A. N. P.) In a petition filed by the members of the junior National Master, Organization composed of Negro workers, charges era made that employment of Negro Lathers has brought threats of damages to builders and property owners from officials of white unions. The petition, which was sent to Police Commissioner Russell, states Attorney Swanson, District Attorney Johnson and secretary of commerce, R. P. Lamont, claims that several Negro lathing contractors have lost contracts on account of these threats. hTe white unions refuse to recognize or accept the Negro workers and classify them as non-union laborers, according to the document. When Negro contractors secure a contract the builders and property owners are advised that the property will be destroyed or damaged in some manner and for fear the threat will be carried out the Negro workers are called off the job and the contract cancelled. The signers of the petition are asking that this condition be remedied and the rights of Negro lathers protected. HOWARD PROFESSOR'S HEARING Washington, D.

Gordon. newspaper published at the nation's capital and dedicated to the cause of spreading Ku Klux propaganda, in its July 13th issue carried this headline: "Imperial Wizard Opens Klan Drive to Repeal 15th Amendment." And it goes on to say, that thousands applaud when Dr. Hiram W. Evans urges repeal of 15th Amendment. For more than sixty years Southern white newspapers have tried to find some way to erase from the Constitution the 15th Amendment, but to date the best they have been able to do was to invent a "Grandfather Clause," which law generally declares the right to vote belonged to anyone who was a citizen in 1863 or to his son or grandson which was of course before the Negro was granted the right of citizenship. "We can have no political equality," said the Imperial Wizard. The strange feature of this sudden flare-up, at this time, is that the U. S. Mail Service will allow such un-American Ku Klux propaganda to pass through its channels. After carefully perusing the Klansman's argument as to why the 15th Amendment should be repealed—which was weak indeed—we were about to ask, What's it all about?, when our attention was directed to the fact that he had turned his guns on Congressman DePriest. The Fellowship Forum continues: "Dr. Evans then trained his remarks on De Priest. He read news reports from recent speeches by the Negro Congressman which called the Southern people cowards for criticising Mrs. Hoover's action in receiving his wife at the White House. In one speech De Priest said the Southern Legislators who voted in their State Legislatures to condemn Mrs. Hobover should be hanged. In a speech at Norfolk, Va., the Negro Congressman advocated that all Negro and white children in the United States be sent to the same school in order that they could mix and know each other better. "Replying to these remarks, Dr. Evans said: "It will with ill-grace that this Negro, with owes his independence to heroic acts of noble white men should reflect upon the courage of the white people of the South. Neither he nor any of his progenitors did one thing to gain the freedom his race now enjoys in America. "The Negro should not be denied the right of human liberty and he should be given full protection in the pursuit of happiness, in the matter of suffrage he should be denied the right to vote. "Unfitness Proved "De Priest in casting aspersions on the white race is an example of why the Negro should not have the responsibility of government or the conduct of society." "Dr. Evans quoted history to prove that the Negro had never fitted into political equality since the Egyptians conquered the Ethiopians, and we cannot expect him to be fitted into political equality today. The Fifteenth Amendment should be repealed." This Dr. Evans claims to have read history, and yet in the face of historic facts, he has the nerve to stand before a supposedly intelligent audience and say that neither the Negro nor any of his progenitors did one thing to gain the freedom his race now enjoys. How any white man could be so ignorant or such a contemptable liar as to make such a statement is past reckoning. Will someone close enough to the sleeping Hurculean who has suffered himself to be placed at the head of the White Robed Army of the Hooded Knights, tell him that he has read history with his prejudices and that race natred has obliterated his vision, dulled his thinking facilities, and destroyed his reason. I wonder if he has ever heard of Crispus Attucks? A Black Man who walked unmindful of his own safety upon the altar of sacrifice and spilled the first blood for his and the great Imperial Wizard's liberty. Of that Black Man, Carney, who was with Jackson at New Orleans; and when he was shot from beneath, still held aloft the American Flag, whispering in a death sentence: "The Old Flag never touched the ground."

This is their way of pay- ing tribute to the famous duthor and to Robert Tevy, producer of colored plays and discovereer of colored stars for the past decade. Levy realized many years ago that the colored artist had an inherent gift for acting. Levy was then a pros- perous producer of motion pictures. He dropped motion pictures and de- cided to give the great race its first colored. drama. Colored players as trained by Levy, disproved the erron- eous idea that the colored artist could do nothing else but sing and dance. The Lafayette players took the coun- try by storm when first introduced in Chicago and New York. They are a credit to. the race they represent. They reflect the ideals of notable Ne- gf authors and enact their roles in itting tribute to the art of the color- sd dramatists or the white dramatists sho so thoroughly understands the ‘olored people as does Octavus Roy Cohen. whose “Come Seven” is said o be his most humorous effort to late...

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE Speaking of the accident which snuffed out the life of our friend Shirley Freeman, a few days ago one would have to have been personally acquainted with him to realize the loss our group sustained. We as a group have a nack of just picking up snackings of this or that and informing the world we are this and that—whatever it might be. Here was a young man that deserves credit for having applied and equipped himself for one thing in life that of radio engineer and made good. The work he left behind will be a permanent record and act as a testimonial of his genius. If there are any regrets to offer we would not attempt to criticize the Omnipotent for His judgment but rather lament the fact that in his passing there was no one to step in the breach and carry on successfully as did he to greater heights the work which he had begun. Just think, not one older boy in the world sailed beyond the Negro business world is that our businesses generally die when we die because we have no one we can trust who knows. The Negro is slowly coming to realize the importance of organization and co-operation. We need companies with capital behind them, and engineers to run them so that when the individual, the brains, the master mind is no longer able to carry on, his lieutenants can. Instead of this young man's business passing with him, there should have been some black boy to take up the work and perhaps the name "FREETONE" would have in years to come, with capital behind it, be emblazoned high on the ladder of Radio success a living instead of dead monument. Shirley Freeman has gone. Black boys qualify and carry on. --- Not long ago there was one of our group in a city the name of which does not matter that paid five hundred dollars to a very prominent practicing white surgeon in advance for a major operation to be performed. The patient's condition at the appointed time was such that only a minor operation was possible, costing less than one hundred dollars but the five hundred dollars was paid on account and receipted so as to read for services to be rendered. Said receipt is held by payee. The operating doctor has himself since entering into the agreement been swallowed up by death and the matter in the course of human events has reached the courts in an effort to have the estate of the wealthy surgeon refund the balance due the party the money belongs to. After four postponements of the case, it's appearing that someone's not going to get any money. A white lawyer agreed to take the case, for $150 if he won and nothing if he lost, with this evidence before us it begins to look to us like the case is to be accidentally lost on purpose by a legal Judas which, if so, places those whose money is being held up aside from being in pain also to quote an important Negro professor who saw the body of one of his colored neighbors hanging from a tree: "In Statueo." --- A local bank that is reputed to have on account the largest Negro bank balance of any bank in the city, last month, saw fit, while going through the process of merging with another bank to dispense with the services of its only colored employee, credited with holding a bookkeeping position. A young man efficient in every respect who has been in its service continually for twenty-four years, rising from a mere messenger to the above mentioned place. It's an open secret that the group has two million dollars or more on account and while the bank we presume knows its business and doesn't care a rap what we think, it's not out of place to let them know that we reserve our rights to 'think and openly express ourselves by saying we feel from information advanced that the action was uncleared for and the young man inken advantage of by officials contaminated with col- If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened orphobia. We accept the fact that there are several others of the group still employed there in menial occupations but this splendid young man was the only one, sorry to say, to be replaced. We have often wondered why banks that handled Negro money in large amounts are 'adverse to giving a black boy or girl qualified, something else to do aside from using a dust rag, broom, mop or wearing a messenger cap. The young man's qualifications in this instance stood him in hand and as a result he secured immediate employment we learn. Recently we have attended several music school recitals and graduation exercises. We enjoyed the efforts of the pupils to display their musical talent as well as the graduation program. All was well and interesting along this line but we feel and believe if there is any part of the program that should be done away with it's the tendering of flowers. Not that we don't love flowers for you, but our heart feels for the girl and boy, those youngsters of tender years, whose circle of friends is small and whose parents' pocketbook will not permit that expenditure of large amounts for flowers and they, though often competent, and deserving of encouragement are forced to sit idly by while their school comrades are gifted to death with beautiful perhaps deserving or undeserving floral offerings. May time and common sense have ten the day when these programs and exercises will be so simile and plain that poor, worthy child in will not be forced to suffer humiliation such as we speak of when their comrades appear on the platform in clothing that a shadow over b-ains and ability and are bound by怒怒 boquets while their less unfortunate associates suffer mental torture, because their friends and parents, though willing, are unable to do likewise. In this regard, we congratulate Belmont High School, which has taken a step forward. May others hastily follow in its footsteps. ```markdown ``` As regards the Elks Convention (white) which convened here last week, why Elks were as numerous on our streets as Negro cadets at West Point or Annapolis. Some convention. It began to look like they will have to call upon their colored brethren to show them how to attend and celebrate. Well, anyway, the streets look pretty all dressed up in preparation for the crowd that never came. Mrs. Sadie Sheffield, wife of officer Sheffield, is the possessor of a Hupmobile line eight, a present from the one and only—he himself. Charles Isum and auto has just returned home after a motor trip to San Francisco and Elsimore liking fit enough to tame a lion. We learn he is not a "Lion Tamer." Mr. Walter Davis and his 1892 Overland, parted friendship last week He is now sole owner of a 4-wheel Chevy coupe with brakes—a 1928 model --- Lce Johnson who for a number of years was in the express business is now in possession of a good job with the county in the Engineer Dept. which carries him all over the county territory. . . . We have always believed in giving the devil his dues as we motor about, said Rev. Kenlight in his sermon to his congregation of Faithint Knockers, which holds its services annually on the 13th of each July. In this respect, says he, we commend Dr. Somerville for the scholarly letter that he mailed his fiend, Bob Shuler, to broadcast to his white brethren, a copy of which was also mailed the Eagle for home consumption last week. THE CALIFORNIA STATE BAP TIST CONVENTION (Continued from Page One) and corporations are becoming closely allied for commercial advantages. This is an age of concentration and cooperation. There is a growing spirit in favor of denominational union for the greatest good to the greatest number. This trend of thinking is indicative of the sturdy growth of human development. For many years California felt proud of being called a Republic. Being second in size of all the states of the Union, rich in natural resources, unexcelled for climate, she might have aspired to the building of an empire. But as the spirit of altruism grew, the state sought admittance into the Union of states, never to lose identity, but to lengthen her cords and strengthen her stakes. Mobilizing Christianity for World Venture Missionary Baptist of California are met here in this world-damaged city (of the angeles) because we desire to make more vital the contact so necessary in fronting up the religious forces, and to cultivate the all-important bond of fellowship in a Common Cause, because there is deeper yearning for the touch of a fellow-worker in the one wide vineyard, because we have interests which do not concern the North and South. Politically we no longer think of California as a Republic, geographically, we no longer think of the state as an Empire; Modern modes of travel and communication have shrieved remote wastes into community areas. The Tehachippe Mountains no longer serve as barriers to the urge for association an co-operation. The days of the hermit are past. If Moses lived today, he could not adequately serve this generation. We assemble no more at the foot of St. ALC nai, one man no longer enters the Sanctum Sanctorium for all the rest, but we are all come up to Mt. Zion. The a man build a rat trap better than his peers, he will be sadly disappointed it he make his hung in the wilderness waiting for the world to beat a path to his door. When we gather here in annual session, the first thought worthy of guiding our deliberation, is, the recognition of the vast (field) field now inadequately served by our district associations. The Convention will furnish the bridge across the chasm which has served as a restraint against the yearning for universal contact. There need be no duplication of work. There must be no universal interference with the general plan of work now done by the several associations, but rather the enchancing of values of all our assets, and thereby offering larger opportunity for service in each local field. Christianity was born out of adventure. Christianity is no show, full, long-faced process, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever" has been so interpelled as to put a good deal of static in religious thinking and advancement. Jesus Christ is the same in prevalent substance for every age, but each age must interpret Jesus for itself. His sineness is seen in His Up-to-date-ness for every age and generation. It remains for each succeeding generation to lengthen the cords and strengthen the stance of the Old Gospel Tent, it is never the privilege of any generation to move the center pole, the Cross. Jesus was given to calling the Church up and out. To the low-visioned, he said, "Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields." To the short-huggers, he said, "Launch out into the deep." Launch out into our religious tethers are so short, we browse over a very very circumscribe area. We undertake to make Christianity fit our little patterns, our little creeds and dogmas. We are so ruggedly loyal to costume and tradition that we are willing to keep closed the doors of the mind against everything which smacks of adventure. Christianity can-least of all the greatest systems of world service afford to lag in the procession of advancement. John came first to the Tomb, but Peter entered. The world is moving today. Even a Solomon would not dare say, "there is nothing new under the sun." Generally speaking, this may be true, but its practically is quite remote. College professors said a few days ago that the printing of text books on science had become a problem. Science is making such rapid strides that the most recent works are rapidly aging and becoming obsolete. What. is true of science is also true of religion. The battle is waged between scientists and religionists. Science is the truth of the physical world and religion is the science of the spiritual world. If science is doing on venturing upon new and wider fields. What must Christianity do? whose field is the world? Explore! When we thought there was a contentment with regard to the laws of gravitation on came Einstein, and threatened to upset our whole system of causation with his theory of Relativity, splitting the atom and calling leaders. Col. LeRoy Smith, vice president of the L.A. Urban League, and a lecturer for the Better America Federation, was master of ceremonies. During a talk at the dinner table, Mr. Jones stated that in its eighteen years of existence, the Urban League has organized and now has in operation 42 branches in different sections of the country, and that more than 250,000 Neuros had been placed in positions that and therefore been denied them. On Sunday afternoon, the annual meeting of the local Urban League was held at the First M. E. church the molecule a little universe to be recognized by the keeper sight of future generations. Such a fellow is a disturber, a joy-killer, a peace-breaker. Such individuals who dare to invade new fields of thought are come to turn the world upside down. Any call of adventure to the bide-hound believer is distressing. He is satisfied, once he anchors his soul in the haven of rest, other souls may sail the wide seas forever. Christianity must venture forth upon what seems uncontroll seas or take the defensive. We can no longer boast of being Christian than when we rightly and progressively interpret Christ. And that interpretation must be made practical to seekers of this age and most especially to youth. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION OF THE YOUTH Here lies our widest and most lucrative field. It will not do to criticize the young people and leave the matter. It the youth of today are not what they should be; they are the best we have. And many believe today that they are the best any age of the world has known. We hear a great deal today about the hip-flask in our schools, and the athleptic societies. The whole matter hinges around the fact of love for new things, new ideas. Youth is the time of aspiration, the time when wings are strong for flight, when eyes are keen for distance, and ears are open to the curious. But young people are not always as serious as they seem. A young man who will tackle as hard a problem as being an atheist will tackle any other problem under the sun. Young people do not choose to be atheists, they are just casting about for the right direction. They have come to a place in their religious thinking where they want to quit guessing about realities. They are fed up on the unreal, the fantastic and the imaginative. What young people want today is the right interpretation by Christianity and its practical application to their daily living. They want a free field of operation, less restricted by elders who choose the chief seats in the synagogue. One great reason why our young people are indifferent in many cases is, that they are not given responsibility. Right here in our state are many of our youth who would gladly give their service to summer assemblies rendering service as instructors in religious training. They are efficient in many lines of Christian education, and should be given the opportunity. If some of the young women have gone after the goddess, Nicotine, shall we decide to leave them to this destructive idol? There are young women who smoke and drink, but they are the exceptions, and if the young women who take a stand against such diversions are given the opportunity to influence their peers, we will be getting hold of the right handle to the situation. Young people do not expect other than lectures from the older people. They take it for granted that they have had time, and grind enough to wear off the wire edge and slow down, but they are more easily converted to the right way from examples among their group. The great movements of the past and present are the encouraging notes for the future. Every possible thing must be Eighth and Hope streets. Mr. Jones was the principal speaker at this meeting and dwelt upon some of the present day facts concerning the social and economic life of the Negro in America. He made a plea for such contact between the two races that would lead to a fuller appreciation of the Negro in industry and that the experience of large employers of Negro labor be used to further the opportunity of getting more black men into the skilled industrial life of the country. The musical numbers for the Sun done for the betterment of the youth, for their awakening and to enlist their co-operation in the great war against crime and lawlessness. Never before was the percentage so large in juvenile crime. The culture in crime among the youth must be offset by the culture in Christianity. That writer was but emphasizing the spirit of Christ when he said, "Give me the children, and I care not who make the laws and write the hymn of the country." Young people want to carry on, but they want something they may have a greater part in carrying on. They want a program which addresses itself to progress and adventure. Along with the youth come our laymen who form the background and the source of supply for whatever program of advancement we may forecast. Some may content themselves with the reflection that the young people have their bent, and will surge on heedlessly and aimlessly. There is a stage when youth may be irresponsible, but never a time they are irresponsible. Niagara had rolled on through the countless ages, until one day an engineer contrived to throw a yoke over her shoulders, and since the Great Falls have been turning myriads of factory spindles and lighting millions of homes without marring their grandeur. A greater source of power is the Niagara of youth. The waste is criminal, but youth cannot energy. They need engineers who are wise enough and patient enough to study the situation, and when they recognize they are harnessed and hitched to the wheel which only youth can turn. Our young people are doing fine with the opportunity they have for religious training of the intensive kind. Too long we have evaded whatever takes on the shape of a problem, as though it would solve itself. Ordinary experience teaches that the only way to deal sensibly with any situation is to take hold of it. The hope of the future for the state and the world, is that Christianity enlist the young people, get in sympathy with them, hold their confidence, and place responsibility upon them until they become conscious of the great task they are to perform in evangelizing the world. The right handle to law-enforcement is the enlistment of youth. Christianity is ably to, not only create a new heart but a new appetite. The hope of prohibition is Christian education. For if the decent and respectible people of the country would stop drinking, the bootleger would be forced out of business. In the same way all the brothels and houses of prostitution and every phase of crime would be shaned into subjection and ultimate control. Christianity Equal to Every Crisis Do we face great problems today? Then count it a great estimation God has put our ability to meet them. All the problems of our age will be met with more confidence when we will have become more closely in touch with each other, comparing plans and ideas, and all recognizing that we are engaged in one common task. Then there will be little time, energy and money spent in the non-essentials. Too much time and energy have been spent in bickering over things that matter, least. Christendom, came very near being wrestler asunder a few years day meeting were given by the Utica Institute Quartet; Miss Naide Portia McCullough; Mrs. Evelyn Warren and Mrs. Carol Johnson. In the party visiting Los Angeles who Mr. Jones were Mr. Forester B. Washington, director of the Atlanta School of Social Work, Atlanta, Ga. and formerly director of the Research and Survey Department of the Detroit Community Chest; Mr. Wayne L. Hopkins, Executive Secretary of the Philadelphia Branch of the Urban League; Mr. T. Arnold Hill, director of Industrial Relations Department of ago over the question of Modernism and Fundamentalism. Thank God, the crisis seems to have passed, and we are settling down to the business of agreeing upon the absolute essential that form the sill of the kingdom. Christianity should set the pace for all things that affect human society. We should be the most sympathetic people, the most charitable and the least selfish. To those who say that Christianity has failed the world at any age, we answer, "When given a trial, Christianity has been equal to every emergency." Had Christianity been given an opportunity, there never would have been a World War. Christianity, unlike Mohammedanism, cannot force her mandates upon her subject. Jesus chose to build the Church on Faith, and to populate the kingdom with whoever will. Christianity is slowly, but surely breaking down every barrier between peoples, and the world, as never before is hearing the message of Jehovah. May our coming together in this session be but the beginning of closer fellowship, more vital co-operation of the end that greater things may be accomplished for God and His Christ. May the convention be an asset to our co-operative plan, may it serve to awaken greater interest in building Church-homes, doing home mission and Foreign mission work through our several associations, and may the choicest fellowship be gained by Christian association.

Submitted to the churches for their Submitted to the churches for their approval. 2 That a Commission be formed to work out plans for an intensive Religious Educational Program. 3 That a Laymen's Movement be a part of the Convention. 4 That a Commission on Race Relations be formed. 36TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH (Continued from page 1) interest to the reader. The church was organized September 2, 1883 in Hill No. 12 on Kansas street, now Green street. The organization Council was called by Rev. C. H. Anderson, then pastor, of Second Baptist church, Los Angeles, California. Rev. C. H. Anderson and Rev. J. M. Fowler were the ministers in the main who made up the organization Council. The charter members were: M. M. Fowler, their daughter Miss Anna and Fowler, their daughter Miss Anna and Henrietta Fowler; Marsha Hill, Ravna Ballard, Alice Griffin, R. B. Scott, wife, Mattte Scott. Rev. J. M. Fowler was then chosen first pastor of the church. He wrought well with a membership of nine. The church moved from Kansas (Green Street) to Delay street. Rev. J. H Kelly was now called as pastor under whose leadership the church grew in numbers. A lot was purchased on South Vernon avenue upon which the church as erected. The cost of the lot was $10,000 and fifty dollars, and that of the building eight hundred and fifty dollars. Rev. Kelly, the second pastor of the church, having done a splendid work FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1929 ve Secretary; Albert huffman. the national Urban League. Mr. Hill was delayed in reaching Los Angeles on account of the organization of a branch of the league in Oakland, but he will spend a week inspecting the local work and holding conferences with social workers. The officers and staff of the Los Angeles Urban League are Albert Baumann, president; Col. LeRoy Smith, vice-president; Ellis N. Warren, treasurer; Louis S. Tenette, secretary; Katherine J. Barr, executive secretary; Floyd C. Covington, industrial secretary. for the church, resisted and his successor, Rev. Guinn, was called as the third pastor. Under his pastorate the church planned to build a large edifice but he died before the building was finished. He was faithful to his trust. The Rev. W. R. Johnson, the fourth pastor of the church was called. Under his pastorate the building was finished. He was a capable and an earnest worker for the Lord. The Lord took him from much suffering to reward. Rev. J. M. Riddle, the fifth pastor, was called as successor to Rev. W. R. Johnson. Under his pastorate a parsonage was built, the Sunday school advanced in efficiency, and membership increased. He worked untrigly for general uplift of the church. Rev. W. H. Tillmen, the sixth pastor was successor to Rev. J. M. Riddle. He planned the church building now on Delacy and Dayton streets, His labors were arduous. He was progressive and faithful. He did not live to see his work finished, but, like Booch of old He. He was not for God on the ground. He says "one man layhythm the founded, and another buildeth thereapon." So Can Rev. W. D. Carter, the present pastor of the church, completed the work begun under Rev. W. H. Tillman. Surply pastors of the church, and pastors of short duration were: Revs. Nuby, Roberson, Evans, Bushel, Harts, Fizzers. Young. The labors of these ministers, though brief, were earnest and helpful, and they have their places in the annals of our Church Histories. THE DEACONS The first and Charter Deacons of the church were R. B. Scott and James Coleman. As the church grew in membership, there were added to the Deacon Board, W. C. Dent, Wm. Ford, R. P. Payne, George Millis, Wm. Dot- THE SUNDAY SCHOOL The Sunday school was organized in June, 1883, three months before the church was instituted. The pupils were R. B. Scott and wife, Mattle Scott, their children, Sadie Scott, Anna Scott, Ida Mae Scott, Alice Scott; Wm, Griffin, Alice Griffin, Martha Holmes, Capt. Arbuckle, Lilly Arbuckle, Wm, Arbuckle, Porter Ballard, Mytle Ballard, Robert, McDowell, Marilah Hill. Thus it will be seen that out of the Sunday school of sixteen members, thirty-six years ago sprang both the preschool and school second to none in California which is a splendid tribuite end worthy compliment to the promoters. The present church building on the corner of Délacy and Dayton streets is a magnificent monument to and the consummation of the struggles, pride and toil of nine loyal, faithful Baptists thirty-six years ago. Well may we say, "This is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes." The following facts of the history of the Friendship Baptist church were compiled by Mr. Van Williams, the chairman of the Deacon Board and Finance Committee: Let us now look back the past four and one-half years and see what has been accomplished in the life of Friendship. On January S. 1925, our pastor, Dr. W. D. Carter settled in this field.

Mills and myself were appointed with authority to act and it was this sub-committee without faction in anyway who put over the big job of building. Here we found it necessary to make some changes so as to include the putting in of a new Pipe Organ and figure windows, all of which was done and without which w now feel our church would be incomplete. Our Pastor inspired the thought of installing the Organ and called together a group of workers of whom Mrs. Rhoda Harris was made president: Mrs. W. D. Carter, secretary and Mrs. Ross Stewart, treasurer. This group of women set themselves to the task of raising the cost of the Pipe Organ, the final note of which has been paid. On the first Sunday in March, 1925, the heart of the church was strengthened as the members and friends by the hundreds were led by our Pastor to the corner of Dayton and Delacey avenue where the ground breaking service took place which followed on the following Monday morning by the work of excavating for the foun ELUS TONER BO E.

The first item of consideration to be taken up was the calling of the Building Committee which was done on Thursday night, January the 8th, 1925. In this meeting a new Pastor was acquainted with the fact that the old property on South Vernon had been sold and that we would have to vacate in a short time. The remedy was soon found and the plan to rent a tent and erect it upon a vacant lot owned by Attorney J.T. Phillips, a member of the church. We went into this tent April 1st where our forces loyally supported the services until the completion of the building. The following September this tent was a stragetic location for it was from this point we daily watched and superintended the construction of the new building. On Sunday, January 11th, the Pastor launched and concluded a rally for which netted $1,500 that day and six persons united with the church. N.

More than three thousand dollars was raised, several persons added to the membership and people inspired with the determination to finish the house of God. The great climax to this epoch in the life of the church took place on Sunday, the nineteenth of September, 1925, when the Sunday school, the membership of the church and hundreds of friends followed our Pastor in the great march from the tent which had been the temporary place of operation for little more than five months to our new church home complete in every respect with furnishings for every department. We all remember the subject from which our Pastor talked that morning which was, "Fill the House." I think I should mention here the great mass meeting in the afternoon in which our white friends took an active part and rendered much encouragement. One of the reasons why we have so marvelously succeeded under God has been and is the fine spirit of love, sympathy and co-operation upon the part of our Deacon and Trustee Boards. These boards and all the de- L C HOME BON ST. 1844 E. G. HILL PARLORS OF N & CO. DIRECTORS n: WEstmore 2060 J. L. MEE AEBT. MANAGER partments of the church have without unfaltering trust and unlimited confidence confided in and co-operated with our Pastor whose leadership in our midst is a beacon light. In this connection I feel I should refer to the splendid work and vision of the Pastor's wife who soon saw the necessity of getting together our young members the result of which is a splendidly organized and well operated Junior church of which she is the superintendent. Words and space fail me here to mention in detail the splendid work carried on in the Junior church. It is inspiring to see them conduct their services and each first Lord's Day in the month find them assembled in large numbers in their department for worship and the Lord's Supper. The latter part of February,1927 a great shadow spread like a threatening storm cloud over the church and community. It was at this time our Pastor's health broke and we were left without his direct services until the following June. Prayer was the watchword of Friendship during those sad months and the answer was encouraging as we saw him, being brought back to health and service by the hand and power of God. One fortunate feature of the work at this time was that Dr. W. F. Botts and his wife were visiting our pastor at this time who rendered much service and encouragement to the church and people. Another portion of this sad picture was the untimely illness and death of Bro. R. F. Payne, beloved chairman of our Board of Deacons and teacher for many years of the Friendly Bible class. The sickness of our pastor and sad taking away of Deacon Payne was almost unbeatable and yet we learned that the Grace of God is sufficient in all kinds of trouble. Among the developments of our church life is God's giving to us our dear Bro. Lloyd Calmore who is being trained for the gospel ministry. This young man's life and conclusion to enter the gospel ministry has been largely inspired through the work of the Junior church. The clubs have been faithful and have answered every call to duty. Much of the financial success of the church is attributed to their untiring effort. Our Sunday school and Missionary Societies with ou B. Y. P. U. have and are succeeding with general satisfaction of our membership. Mr. Butter Smith, our efficient Superintendent of the Sunday school is untiring in his efforts and the heads of the departments love and co-operate with him. The general finances of the church, under the direction of our splendid Board of Trustees whose chairman is Bro. H. T. Mills, should come in for a word of praise and encouragement. I wish here to quote a statement of our beloved Pastor which he made to our annual meeting a few weeks ago to the effect that "A more sacrificing, honest and honorable group of men than our Board of Trustees I have not found in any church I have pastored during the past forty years." Sincerely yours, VANDERBILT WELLIAMS. BESSIE COLEMAN AERO CLUE DONATES AIRPLANE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR BURNED CHURCH Colored citizens of Los Angeles are urged to go to the Lincoln Airport, 3601 So.

Denver, Colo., July 17.—Sweeping reform measures in the African Methodist Episcopal church were endorsed by both the Bishops' Council and the Connecctional Council at their recent meeting in Denver, Colo., June 27-30, 1929. This annual gathering is the most significant gathering of A. M. E. Bishops, Ministers, and laymen during the interim of the quadrennial General Conference and virtually shapes the legislation of that August body. The keynote was sounded in the sermon by Bishop John A. Gregg and by the address of the president, Rev. A. Joseph Allen of Dayton, Ohio. As a result five commissioners were appointed. The Bishops appointed a commission to consider the merger and readjustment of certain of the A. M. E. schools in order to meet the highest required standards of the General Education Board. The Connectional Council appointed a like commission to cooperate. A commission on Evangelism is to present a connectional scope growing out of the program already adopted the Furth Episcopal District under the leaderon Organic Union is to foster the program already adopted by the General Conferences of both the A. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion churches. A Commission on Social Service is to present a program of connectional scope growing out of the program already adopted by the Fourth Episcopal District under the leadership of Bishop A. J. Carey. A commission was appointed to work out the future policy of the Connectional Council, to which they are to report at the next annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas. These adopted reports will carry the pledge of the members of th Connectional Council to make them effective by legislation at the next General Conference. The Connectional Council by an overwhelming vote adapted a resolution condemning Prof. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of the Sunday School Union at Nashville, Tenn., for taking the Sunday School literature, intended for the instruction of the minds of the youth, and diverting it into propaganda literature against individuals with whom he may have personal quarrels or disagreements. The same resolution was adapted by the Council of Bishops in their sessions. Chicago was highly honored by both bodies in that Bishop A. J. Carey was appointed chairman of the Commission on the Ecumenical Conference; Rev. A. Wayman Ward of Greater Bethel was elected fraternal delegate to the C. M. E. General Conference meeting in Louisville in May, 1930 and made chairman of the Commission on Social Service appointed by the Connectional Council. All Bishops, except Bishop G. H. Young in Capetown, South Africa, and all the General Officers, except Rev. G. W. Allen of the Southern Christian Recorder at Nashville, were present and made glowing reports of their work. The 50th ministerial anniversary of Bishop H. B. Parks, senior bishop, was observed with a magnificent program. Editor Allen of the Southern Recorder was sent a wire of congratulations upon the anniversary of his 25th year as editor. The session was held in beautiful Shore Community church built by the Rev. A. Wayman Ward, with Rev. J. M. Brown and Bishop John A. Greesg as hosts. Church Contest News Church Contest News The Contest Musical between Phillips Temple and Wesley Chapel was unusually good. 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. SAVING SAM'S SHOE AND KEY SHOP 1406 S.

STAND BY . at We note a certain class of white pirates who spend their time keep- ing watch on thickly populated colored sections. In some cases they are not above stirring up strife among Negroes engaged in the same line of business, and without the innocent Black public being cognizant of what is happening soon a certain business changes hands, in reality, but not in form; for the class of white man that does this sort of thing knows his oil. He keeps the Black man in front while he stands by the cash register and takes in the sheckles of Black folk who hold the thought that they are building race enterprizes. . It takes some output of brains to do business and an occasional bit of brawn to succeed in business, so if you find that you haven't what it takes to succeed, don't be a traitor. Step out of the ranks and let your successful competitor move on, and don’t find fault with the efforts of ‘one with whom you have never had the courage to compete. Remember that if he has succeeded, even though his way may not conform to your idea of success, remember that he has accomplished more than you have, and should come in for a bit of praise and not con- demnation on your part. Take heed that ye do unto others as you would have others do un- to you. z THE WORM TURNS , The “overworked” business mam launched the movement against special “weeks” and “days.” The general public sustained |his objection. Now the teaching rrofession has declared war to the finish on this greedy parasite on time. When the American Educational Digest sent questionnaires on this question to school superintendents and principals 800 of them registered complaints against this scheme of dividing the school term into special observance weeks and days. The replies of these administrating educa- tors indicated that the point has becn reached when ther¢ is a special time’Tor everything in the school year except for the curriculum, Ninety-one special “weeks are observed in the public schools of the country each year. That means if one school could sl apart each week of the term for the observance of one of the special “weeks” it could not complete the list in two years, It is obvious that not all of the schools are observing all the “weeks” they are called upon to observe. The educators characterize the “weeks” and “days” as “time steal- ers,” “‘menaces to education,” “something for hobby riders to do” and “special interest exploitation of the schools.” It will be conceded by all educators as well as the public that school children may obtain some benefit from two or three of the speciai ob; servances and that the others benefit only their authors. The school term is so many months long. Within that prescribed period so much work must be done. The curriculum should be so broad in its scope that it touches upon every branch of knowledge necessary to education. and culture. If the curriculum is complete then there is no need for special “weeks” and “days.” If there is need for this “week” and that “day” then the curriculum is weak in just these places.

Kirchwey, former warden of Sing Sing Prison, and he has the figures to sustain his assertions. It is the belief of Dr. Kirchwey that the universal belief that crime is increasing is an obsession, a fixed emotional state, which the uew psy- chologists call a “complex”. The belief is contradicted by accurate sta- tistics. What should disturb the nation, according to this authority on pen- ology, is not an imagined increase of crime, but the indubitable continu- ance of it. If crime would abate temporarily there would be more time for preventive work—for getting at the causes of crime. . It is readily to be seen that the public might acquire the impress- jon that crime was increasing from the more daring methods now em- ployed by some criminals and from the sensational uses made of the automobiles by the modern criminal.* Eliminate liquor law violations and other recently created misdemeanors and one can see at once that crime actually is on the wane. : Dr. Kirchwey says there is no reason or excuse for supposing that boys and girls are any worse today than they always were, the probabili- ties being that they average better now than ever before. " Since) juyenile courts have been established generally throughout the nation many have noted that what were once childish pranks now con- stitute sufficient grounds to bring the child into the juvenile courts. When the rural boy fills his blouse and pants pockets from Farmer Brown's apple trees it is play. When the city boy ‘snatches jan apple from Tony's fruit stand it is larceny. | It is difficult to compare crime ‘conditions of two generations.

The mandatory features which the opponents of the bill have featured in their arguments are showh to be ladking. No child could be summarily plaged in the custody of, such schdol without the acknowledgement, or consent of the parent or guardian} As explained by Mr. Whitmore, the épprobrious term of “Jail School's unwarranted and a misnomar. It seems that the majority of minor délinquents are in the southern area of the state where there is need for guch institution as the bill provides. The measure was introduced by a prember of the legislature from Pasadena. It is optional with the schodl district, to institute such schools and where juvenile delinquencies ire negligible there would be no cause for them. “Acknowledging that $he bill is not faultless,” says Mr. Whitmore, “It will be easier to remédy its faults, which will be shown by ekperience, than to enact new Iegiglation.” sl] ee ee it Now, here is the opinion of Judge Michael Roche who sits in the Juvenile Court. ‘The Judge had been severely’ criticized fd sending re- calcitrant juveniles back to their homes rather than to corrdetive institu: tions. “Youth is better off at home than in any institutin, except in extraordinary cases.” Said Judge Roche, “These institutiaHs gather to- gether a lot of seli-seeking job chasters whose interest it is {0 perpetuate their own jobs. ‘That is what we have out at the Lilientigl School in San Francisco, which is the 24-hour school here} for waywzrd boys. | don’t think that there's anybody in San Francisco awho has got the nerve to start a 24-hour school here.

It is more than likely that the propanents of the measure are fully aware of that necessity in certain areas of the state ang ho doubt have studied conditions thoroughly. It is claimed that thé corrective institutions for juvenile delinquents in the south end of the State are so over-crowded that some such measure was needed. | The meastire became a law by the Governor's signature and goes into effect as stich August I4th. One thing is sure, and as Mr. Whitmore says, “The stigma to be placed upon the boy or girl'who unfortunately become students in such school, rests solely with you land with me.” {| William J.

R2n] St, Phone, HU. 3419 or VA. 1221.) aT WHAT PRICE MOTHERHOOD! . All important things of life are giv- en more thought and careful prepara- tion than Motherhood. If a couple wishes to buy a home, they pick and choose, look at all sides of the proposi- tion and with mech trepidation make their final decision, with scarcely less deep concern and earnest thought do they consider the purchase of an auto- mobile. If a man expects to be @ physician or a woman a musician or she will spend § tp 10 years in earnest preparation. But to became a moth- er! No preparation {s needed, no care no thought before hand is re- quired—no long years or even hours of diligent study are necessary. For motherhood is, according to popular opinion, so normal, and sa natural, that preparation for it is unthought of. Like Topsy, most of us still think that mothers and the products of motherhood cre safe when allowed to “just grow.” So prevalent is the idea that prepa- ration for motherhood ‘is not needed that in all of our scholos of training and science, not one portion of the en- tire curriculum from the Ist grade to the. 12th and on through college, not one term is given to the earnest study of this subject. Right on through the centuries our mothers continue to “just. grow.” Following blindly the instinct, which leads them often over paths which they learn the folly of usually only’ after they are too old to receive any profit therefrom. So much for the Jack of training in early youth and young womanhood for the responsibilities, duties and privileges, dangers and. blessings c# motherhood. Just as the average girl is unprepared for motherhood before ‘marriage, just so the average expect~ ant mother is-ignorant of. the grave requirements and important possibil- ities involved. ‘Many women wait until just a few weeks before the baby is expected to seck mediéal advice and some-do not call an atfendant until the very eve of the birth of the little one. This is because of the very much. mistaken idea that the attendance at birth is the important part of the medical care of a maternity case. The fact is that no part of an obstetrical case from the first few weeks on to, and through, the delivery of the baby is unimport- ant. There is nothing in life which is of more serious importance. For the mother ‘whose whole organism is en- gaged in the process of nourishing and developing a new human being, health. happiness and life itself are at stake. For the new baby it’s whole destiny— physical, mental and moral is shaped fo a larger degree by the nine months oi pre-natal life than by any subse- quent nine month of its existence. For them both a whole world of weal or woe-is bound up in that relatively short. but mightily great, period nine months prior to the baby's advent in- to this world. other words, when you would limit my resources and curb the expansion ‘of my intellect. You attempt to rob me of the essential eliments that go to make up real men. This man Evans and his brand are not truly American, and I wauld be willing to wager that he never saw service for this country and that if some alien nation were to attempt an invasion he would be among the first to take to the tall timbers; for men who preach such doctrine as his, as,a rule, are cowards.

Fat chubby hands, decorated with sparkling diamonds or would be diamonds, flaunted all white and shiney nails to all who would look and admire. A big wide, thick and red lipped, mouth stretched from ear to ear cracking and ploughing up, in its wake, the thick, thick layers of cosmetics and white powders, causing the face to be a ghostly, ghostly frightful thing. Pudgy lidded green-grey eyes lifted in friendiness. "My God! I ejaculated under my breath," Iwould hate to meet that face in the dark!" The swift rumbling of the many coaches, the clanking of the couplings shrubbery, far away hills an occasional farm house a mile from the road, the scene might have been anywhere in the U. S.

Looking up I saw the clean cut profile of the head waister as he quietly passed out of our coach into the one to the fore and then on and on through all the coaches with his message of nourishment to be had for the buying, up and down sea-sawing back and forth, holding now to the walls of the cars, then a straight level shoot during which you step lively to make it in finally to the diner. To the right enclosed in a hot steaming bed of red coals, great pots, pans, skillets and what nots, the curious muddled eyes of a half dozen or more, slim rawboned black youths appealed just for a smile, a sign of greeting. Quick as a flash the sign went from one to the other of our approach. How did they know we were coming? I pondered, as I saw them all to-gether peering out and grinning. I managed to spread my hips and smooth out the crease I left in my forehead in the semblance of a smile, that was not in my heart. I could not help the heartiness I felt within me over the conditions under which these boys or old men were waking out a mere existence.

For years the old, as well as the freely made "grads," have been kicking up a howl about "church politics," "clannishness," and "national" "Star Chenber" procedures that invariably steam rolled, thwarted and completely annihilated the budding plans of Alumni hopefuls. Now all of this has been relegated to the limbo of yester-year, along with absolute monarchy, cairism and other undemocratic antiquities. The most fiery, radical and reactionary alumni of the University, along with a group of dyed-in-the-wool stand-patterns and old line machine manipulators assembled in session last Wednesday. Shorter Hall, and going the much famed lion and lamb one better refused to be satisfied with the mere doing of the impossible by lying down together, but actually broke and shared bread with each other. A program of progress, satisfactory to all, was built-up and adopted. The first step was the election of strong and promising young man as president. All were agreed that the selection of A. Moore, "Jack" Shearin, class of '21 was a master stroke. Mr. Shearin comes to his new office with a galaxy of brilliant achievements in the business world. At present he is secretary and General Manager of the Southern Fidelity and Surety Company of Durham, North Carolina; a position that takes him over the entire country, lending splendidly to the contacts an Alumni president should have. In his brief, but pointed inaugural address, Mr. Shearin said: "We have work, lots of it to do. Let us have workmen, lots of them, and let us all go to work and the Alumni Association will soon be able to serve as it rightly started to reach every alumnus of the school. Already a roster of over 3,000 former students and graduates has been compiled. Each one of these persons will be mailed a bulletin, outlining the new "Wilberforce Betterment" program. All former students of the school are invited to mail their addresses to Miss Tressie Clarke, Wilberforce, Ohio. Local Alumni clubs are also asked to keep in close touch with Miss Clarke. Among the officials elected were Dr. E. A. Clarke, New York, Vice-President; Dr. W. P. O. Wallace, Indiana, Treasurer; and Miss Tressle Clarke, Secretary. Nearly five years ago the Association launched a movement for a "Big Endowment Drive," which has since been hanging fire. Today the faculty, student body, trustees and every alumnus present joined in the Embulance movement, and after giving the idea unanimous endorsement, organized a group, which will form an executive committee for the promotion of this campaign. The Alumni representatives on this committee are Dr. E. A. Clarke, Dr. F. M. Reed, Lexington, Ky.; and Dr. Ossin Sweet, Detroit. For more than three hours the Association sat in a most peaceful and illuminating meeting. Dr. W. B. Q.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It happened LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1929 SEEING BEAUTY Beauty is everywhere. It is a relative element, depending much upon geographic domain and personal temperment. The aesthetic ideal of the Australian Bushman may differ from that of the Esquimau; but the significant fact is that both peoples are cognizant of its existence. The chief prerequisite for it together with an organism keenly sensitive to its impression. This is what is meant by having the "poetic-heart". To one endowed with the poetic heart, stars are more than mere solar systems, signs of the zodiac; they are bustering in the night. The astronomer probs for steller motion, chemistry, distance, and mass, but the poetic nature beholds these twinkling orbs solely in their beauty and is thrilled to ectacly! The botanist sees the queenly rose in terms of petal, pollen, and pistil. But the lover of beauty perceives locked up in this ancient flower not only the mystery of creation, but romance, perfumery, and resplendent coloring. The beauty worshipper, he be he ever so humble and unlettered, sees beauty in a field of waving grasses as well as in a daisy-ladened meadow. To such an-one there is music in the thunder as well as in bird song. Massive rocks desert shrubs, and rock-strewn river banks, all, quicken in him the deepest "aesthetic" emotion. There is beauty in a gothic temple and in an Aztec mound; in a birch-bark canoe as well as in an ocn oliner. thrice blessed are those who have eyes and SEE; who have ears and HEAR, for beauty is everywhere.

C. Electric Chair 17 Year Old Youth Dies In N. C. Electric Chair Raleigh, N. C. July18 (By the Associated Negro Press) The death chair at the state prison claimed its youngest victim here Friday morning, when, with his face radiating childish fear and his lips moving in fervent prayer, Freddie Wiley a seventeen year old boy paid with his life for raping and attempting to murder a white woman, some three months ago. No appeal was made in behalf of the youth who has confessed to the crime with which he had been charged. The governor did not intervene. No plea was raised for him on account of his youth. He was tried, convicted and sentenced. Alienist testified that he was mentally sound and the electrocution was carried out. Only religious consolation was given him, but that in abundance by ministers here who were interested in seeing that his soul was saved. FORM TOO SMALL FOR CHAIR The death instrument which had to this time claim 96 victims who had transgressed against society and the laws of the land, proved to spacious for the boyish form of its 97th victim. The straps had to be shortened and tightened in order to fasten the boy in the chair and frequently he pleaded with those securing him in the chair to lossen the straps because they were too tight. Had this been done the current which was to snuff out his life would had hurt him through space due to his slight build. When Fredie appeared in the death chamber he failed to show the composure of the hardened criminal who is about to go to his death. His face was ashen with fear and his body trembled like a leaf as he wanted uncontrollably the death chair. His age, his boyish fright and his slight build showed his youthfulness. He chanted a prayer, "Lord save me" continually, only breaking into his chant to appeal to the wardens to loosen the straps. The fear which he showed had been engraved in his face by the long stay in the death cell, where his impending doom was impressed upon him. 'The ministers who sought to give him the consolation of Master and by those who passed by the cell and urged him to pray. He prayed fervently, asking forgiveness of God for the crime for which man was taking his life. He died with the prayer, which had become his song "Lord Save me" on his lips. The youth was charged with raping a 31 year old white woman and attempting to beat her to death. He was captured a few hours later and is alleged to have confessed to the deed. Race Prejudice Enters Building Trade-Negroes Lose Mount Airy, N. C. July 18 (By the A. N. P. The white people are opposed to "industrial equality" as well as the time worn "social equality" was demonstrated here Friday when a group of Negro bricklayers were discharged from a job because white bricklayers refused to work with them. According to reports circulated here, J. E. Caule, a local contractor imported the colored brick-layers here to work on a building which his firm was erecting. The Negroes were permitted to work on the foundation but when the building reached the street level, a representative of the white workers appeared at the contractors office and demanded that the Negro workers be replaced by whites. In compliance with the request Caule discharged the colored laborers and paid their transportation back home. It is also reported that several attempts were made to intimidate the Negro masses and force them to leave of their down volition. When this failed the whites appealed to the contractor. The N. A. A.

Closes 20th Annual Meeting (By the Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, Ohio, July 17.—With leaders of every walk of life, and from every section, present the N. A. A. C. P., celebrated its twentieth anniversary here for six days beginning Wednesday night, June 26th and closing Tuesday, July second. It was a real celebration in which the achievements of the Association in the effort to break down the barriers to the progress of the Negro in America were reviewed and new determination to carry on the work during the years to come received and avowed. According to the reports made here during this meeting the Association has grown rapidly and steadily in influence, in number and in service rendered. It has overcome many of the obstacles which stood in the way of racial advancement and had made wholesome contacts in every section of this country. THE RECORD at the last session, Tuesday, the Association has done three notable things; namely proved "that white and black America will furnish funds to fight race prejudice when it realizes that it is not instinctive but a deliberately fashioned weapon of hurt and gain; and that earnest human beings are called radical and revolutionary ideal without blood-shed and without hate." With a glowing record behind it the Association now sets forward on the work for the next decade. That the organization realizes the task before it is shown in the statement in the resolutions that we have still a heart breaking fight before us: We face today not simply a provincial and national problem of race and color, but one that belts the world and threatens its progress. We stand here in the greatest republic of the world on strategic and fatal ground; if we prove that the most divers races can live together in equality, democracy and self-respect, we can lead the world to Peace, Democracy in Industry and freedom in Art. If we fail we turn back toward War, Poverty and Slavery." Negroes were urged to use the ballot. "The American Negroes" great weapon of offense is the ballot" continued the resolution, "We should vote. We should seek alliance with forces which stand for honest government, the abolition of privilege, and the socialization of wealth; but whenever these liberals deny us fellowship and draw the color line, we are justified in making alliance which defends us from political annihilation, economic discrimination and social insult." The organization went on record as approving President Hoover's "decision to clean up Southern politics and to investigate law enforcement, and to hope that common honesty and logical hope will stop form short of a full exposure of the rotten methods of the South, the systematic, illegal disfranchisement, lynching, segregation injustice toward Negroes in the courts, and barbarous punishment and convict lease system for black folk." Some of the most important events on the program of the celebration were: the art exhibition held at the Museum of Art, and the awarding of the Sippingen Medal to Dr. Mordeck Johnson, President of Howard University. DR. SIBLEY DIES IN LIBERIA DR. SIBLEY DIES IN LIBERIA New York, July 16 (By the A. N. Press) Dr James L. Sibley, Educational Advisor to the Republic of Liberia, died Friday, from yellow fever. Radiograms telling of his passing were received by the Phelps-Stokes Fund from Dr. B. W. Payne, secretary of Public Instruction and Miss Rebecca Davis, Supervisor of Jeanes Fund Schools in Liberia. A Message of condolence was sent by President King, which reads: "Please accept my deep sympathy on the death of Dr. J. L. Sibley. In his loss Liberia loses a sincerer and devoted friend." Dr. Sibley has figured prominently in the new educational program for the African native. He was born in Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia. At one time he was Supervisor of Negro Education in Alabama. Four years ago he went to Liberia as representative of the American Advisory Com. on Education in Liberia, which is made up of mission boards, colonization societies and educational organization. Later he was made Educational Advisor for the Republic. Dr. Sibley was 45, unmarried and is survived by parents, Mr. and Mrs. John L. Sibley of Miami Beach, Fla. The remains were interred in Liberia. ....BOOKS FOR SUMMER LEISURE... Aldrich—"A Lantern in Her Hand"...

America And Liberia Much Concerned Over Francis's Illness Chicago, July 15 (By the Associated Negro Press) The report that W. T. Francis, United States Minister to Liberia was ill was confirmed here Mandy in a radiogram received by the Associated Nero Press from Mrs. Francis. The Message stated that the condition of the minister was critical in spite of the fact that he was under the care of Dr. Rice, physician for the Firestone interest and the famous physician, Dr. Fusik who has combated the ravage of Yellow fever in Liberia for more than fifteen years. The minister is also attended by two highly efficient nurses, Mrs. Todd and Miss Occupy. The warmer over the illness of Mr. Francis is being manifested in America and Liberia. As Mrs. Francis states in her radiogram, "Liberia is deeply concerned and is trusting and hoping". That same spirit permeates the United States, where Mr. Francis is well known and held in high esteem. The reason for this concern, in addition to the esteem in which the minister is held, is due perhaps to the fact that Yellow fever, as far as Americans are concerned is looked upon as dangerous disease. Annually this disease takes its toll of Americans who brave the ravages in Liberia and when Mr. Francis was appointed to the diplomatic post there, many of his friends advised him not to accept the positin, because of his advanced years in spite of his personal fitness for the place. PREDICTS GREATER LIBERIA IN LATEST ADDRESS PREDICTS GREATER LIBERIA IN LATEST ADDRESS In his latest address delivered before the public, which was on the occasion of the dedication of the Booker T. Washington Kaktown, Mr. Francis paid glowing tribute to the memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington and Miss Olivia Phelps Stokes, for their interest in the advancement of the Negro throughout the world and predicted that Liberia would grow industrially, agriculturally, religious and economically in the future, as a direct result of the institution recently established. Years ago, "said the minister" doubtless from these very shores, men and women were torn from the bosom of their families and carried away in slavery to America. Booker T. Washington, a descendant of those slaves, demonstrated that neither the place or environment of birth, the color of the skin nor the texture of the hair necessarily controls the ultimate destiny of a man, nor unalterably fixes the status of life. The life of this imminent nation, the life of the treaching makes it plain to you and me that God gave the same talent to Africans that he gave to peoples of any other part of the world." After referring to the newly established institution, Mr. Francis said:: "Liberia is far too rich to delay longer the opportunity for scientific development and without this very necessary adjunct to the educational facilities of your country, Liberia cannot hope to march in the vanguard of the powers of the world. A change you have, to take this great gift and build it in the name of God, in the name of Africa, in the name of Liberia—the youth of today and of the generations yet to come."

Three things are The movement of the famous Lafayette Players from Central Avenue to downtown Los Angeles is a step forward for these colored players. They open the newly decorated and ice-cooled Orange Grove Theater, August 1, in Octavus Roy Cohen's stage comedy "Come Seven." According to Robert Levey, the producer of colored plays for the past decade, his Lafayette Players are not unlike the success of the colored stars of "Harlem." the play that has been sweeping New York off its feet the past season. "Harlem" opened "cold" in that part of New York known as Harlem. Success demanded that they move to New Yorks great downtown district among the incadescents. And success moved the Lafayette players downtown. And the stage premiere in Los Angeles of "Come Seven," promises to be as brilliant an affair as the opening of a cinema place, so far as the attendance of stars is concerned, according to the Christie Studios and the Orange Grove Theater. For on August 1, Al and Charles Christie are acting as hosts to over 200 stars of stage and screen and newspaper writers, magazine representative, etc., sponsoring as it were, the first night, in honor of their friend Octavus Roy Cohen.

UPTON SAN DIEGO LINE POOLED WITH TUCSON Porters Kick Up On Desert Another change has come about to add to the confusion that was brought about by the awarding of the "Padre" to San Francisco. Although the district had not quite recovered from the active bumping caused recently by different changes in lines, for the first time in years, the staid old customs, and regular habits of the porters operating on line 28, the Santa Fe district disturbed to such an extent as to effect the entire crew operating car 780. The porters on this car, on arriving in San Diego, after discharging their passengers at 8 A. M., grab their suitcases, and get on a car headed for Tusco, Arizona, one of the hottest towns this side of the equator, where they have the pleasure of laying over from 2:45 A. M. till 7:30 P. M., which is ample time enough to get thoroughly baked. They arrive back in San Diego the following morning at 10:30 providing they are fortunate enough to be on time which is unusual. The writer having just completed the trip, arrived in San Diego, nine and one-half hours late, completely burn out. After arriving in San Diego, you again grab your hand-bag and get on The San Diego "Owl," make the car down and proceed on your journey to Los Angeles. First around the nice, cool breezes of the Pacific Ocean, then across the burning sands of the desert. Are you glad to get back? Well, ask R. Bradford, L. High. Cliff Lair and the writer, and see what they say about it. That's just a good line gone wrong, and another line for the field to bid on. SHOULD END TALK ABOUT SHOULD END TALK ABOUT GEO. M. PULLMAN'S WILL For many, many years the rumor has been circulated about from district to district, to the effect that in Mr. Geo. M. Pullman's will, he made a clause that all Pullman Conductors, and Pullman Porters who had been with the Co. for a period of ten years would be given a free uniform. For your own benefit the following is a copy of a letter, and not a will, written on this subject in 1894, March 30th, by Mr. Geo. M. Pullman, the president, published in the July issue of the "Pullman News." Space will not permit the entire article on the subject to be printed, but the letter reads as follows: :; "PULLMAN'S ALACE CAR CO "Office of the President "Chicago, March 30, 1894. Mr. C. A. Garcelon, Esq. "General Superintendent. "Dear Sir: From your communication of this date, it appears that of the conductors and porters now in the employ of this Company, 650 have served five years or over, as shown in the following list: Conductors Porters 131.....5 years 331.....5 years 25.....10 " 91.....10 " 14.....15 " 31.....15 " 11.....20 " 15.....20 " 1.....25 " "I desire that a proper expression of the Company's appreciation should be given to those who have served it thus long and faithfully. In considering the form which such expression should take, it appears to me, most appropriate that it should be one which will not only be apparent to all with whom the recipients come in contact in the performance of their duties, but will also be an incentive to their fellow employees. "With these objects in view, it has been decided to award to each of such employees who have served for five If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened years, a "Badge of Honorable Service" to be worn upon the left sleeve of the uniform, and to consist of an embroidered bar (gold for conductors and silver for porters), and a similar bar for each additional five years of service. "As a further recognition, the company will present to each of the conductors or porters who have served ten years or more, two uniforms a year while they continue in service. "I will be glad if you will arrange to carry out these suggestions as soon as practicable. Very truly yours, "GEO. M. PULDMAN, President." PULLMAN PILLOW SLIPS Lest you Forget!

"What's all this I hear about the chief of police of Kansas City being an ex-Pullman Conductor? That's interesting. My! it will all come out in the wash. They wanted to cut the chief down to one night in L. A. and 3 in Chicago, but the boys could not stand to have so short a time with their hot mamas, and got up a petition to stop this outrage. WOMEN5S ECONOMIC COUNCIL The Tea given last Sunday at the home of Mrs. J. W. Richardson was a brilliant success. MRS. PEARL BROWN, VICE PRESIDENT, TENDERS RESIGNATION Members of the Council were shocked at the sudden termination of Mrs. Pearl Brown's reign as vice-president of the Council, when at the last meeting her resignation was received by the President. Mrs. Stafford. Mrs. Brown's resignation stated that she was resigning on account of ill health. She has been ill ever since she was elected to second place in the chair, and in the interest of the organization tendered her resignation. The Council accepted with great regret.

Tuesday, at 923 E. 33rd St. SOUTHERN PACIFIC NEWS Golden State Maid Hunts Hour For Hair Net Maid Thomas, one of the first maids to enter this city on the Crack "Golden State Limited" had the experience of a very diligent search on the State this trip, which was 9 hours late. One of her rich passengers insisted on Miss Thomas searching for a hair net. After she had gone through all the soiled towels the porter had in the sack, she gave it up as a bad job. It must be getting tight on the State. Southern Pacific Dining Car Crew Strike. Hot Weather Hot weather is about to get a hold on the/crack crew of Diner 10120. The writer met them at Tuscon, and Chef Steele had his head stuck out the door grasping for air. McKinney, Pimbrooks and J. Brooks were serving dinner giving their all and all. It was a hot day and a hot crew. The cooks C. Denton, Howard Bates and J. Phillips were about to pass out. Sunset Dining Cur Crew Hit the Ball The crackers riding the "Sunset Limited" dont miss a meal. When Chef Cook, Spencer Villa is in charge of the kitchen, he puts the food out in such a tasty maner and seasoned in such a way that they pack the dinner jam up at the first call. He cannot do all this by himself, however, so due credit is given to Fred Jackson, Alex Clark and Caidwell Thomas; they have a crack crew of old timers in the dining room who just cant don't as follows: Walter La Selle, Theonde Jackson, Walter Cummings who also quite an authority on radio, S. L. Patton, J. L. Dungey, Wm. Blanchard and Thomas Grace. When this combination gets to rolling it's just too bad. Chef Cook, Chandler Haynes, has been stuck on a stub train from El Paso and Yuma, if you do not think that they are two hot places ask Chandler. Traveling Chef Thomas Harrison is having a tough time this hot weather If you do not believe it, ask him. SANTA FE RED CAPS Mr. McDoughal, the sheik红 cap at the Santa Fe was seen last week in his hot Essex at the depot, where he met a very charming young lady who had just arrived in town on the Limited. He must have the law on his side because he did not hesitate to park in the red zone. The Sick List of the boys claim the following this week: Sam Pankey, Maurice Felix, Speedy Harris, Mrs. Felix is also sick and had an operation. She is in the hospital at this writing. Buddy Boy Grandson was last seen in San Diego with an Elks Special en route to Frisco. He was garbed in a red hot front in San Diego and looked like he might have been headed for the dog races. The boys pulled a red hot stag at the Dunbar Hotel last week and they say they were really tight like that. LOCAL 18. SHOPS CRAFT ASSOCIATION The order is wondering why Geo F. Simmons failed to show up at the last three meetings. However, we hope to see him at the next meeting, or we will take his excuses with a grain of salt. Secretary of the treasury, Mr. Powers, received a letter from J. Small who is on a vacation at Pensacola, Fla. He sends his regards to his fellowmen, and says he will return about the first of August. Mr. Webb now wears the pants at his house, and the reason is that Mrs. Webb has departed for Kansas City to visit relatives and friends for a few weeks. Mr. Henry High has given notice for a leave of absence in order that he might take a vacation trip to Dal- Blodgett Realty Co. 2510 South Central Avenue SUITE 303 HUmbolt 8781 Refinancing Loans, Building Loans, Fire Insurance, Exchanges and Rentals SPECIAL BARGAINS TODAY 5 room house on large lot, $3350.00 with reasonable terms.

We hope the boys all have a pleasant look on their face when they gaze into this new addition, as we do not wish to have it broken. All news to go in the Railroad Clatter should be mailed so as to reach Chas. L. Upton. 2190 West 30th St., by Monday A. M. P. S.: J. W. Watts has just informed the writer that he had nothing at all to do with the gravy gobblers controversy over the Sunset. BLACK SPORT WORLD..... Oakland, Calif. Well readers, here we are up here in Northern Calif., and we have to have the old column the same as usual. After a rather hectic night and a day of driving all the news is just about driven out of your writer too, but we will try to give you a little line on the sports up north here. Old Oakland, Jimmy Duffy, is still a heavy favorite up here, the same as he used to be when he was heating all the boys. Duffy by far isn't the fighter that he was in days gone by, but he can still give some of the boys a nice go around. I dropped into the gym Monday to look around and found the old boy going through his daily work-out and he looked none the worse for all his years in the ring. Duffy fights a main event up here on the 17th. Jimmy is just about as popular up here as Bert Colima is down in the city of cities—Los Angeles. Young Sam Langford fights a special event on the same card that Duffy is on. I did not see this Langford and I was just wondering if it was the same Young Sam that was down in Los. On the Card it says Young Sam of Portland; but Young Sam has not been seen around the Angel City much of late and it might be him. While browsing around I ran into Charlie Parks a coming lightweight, that has fought down our way in times gone by, and the boy seems to be making good up this way. He is in wonderful shape, is fighting main events, and seems to be on the up and up all the way around. Across the Bay in Frisco they have a rather hot card lined up for this week, with Seal Harris and Long Tom Hawkins going to the post for ten rounds more or less. The boys have met before and this should be the battle of battles. The last time they met Long Tom put Harris to sleep in the seventh canto, and claims that he will do the same this time only a little faster. Seal just lost a decision to Dynamite Jackson down in San Diego last Friday night and is on the short end of the beating up here. Jackson beat Harris all the way taking ten out of ten. The big boy from Chicago blamed his loss on not having his manager in his corner, but his manager has arrived now and he claims that he will beat Hawkins to a frazzle; and then he wants a re-match with Dynamite by all means. I think that about covers the news up north here, folks, and hope to be back at the old desk for the next issue: BY LENA JONES B. S. BRONSON The First Baptist church of Vienna —Rev. G. A. Buston, lay Milfier is one of the high school ministers of the Bay District. Since taking charge of the church he has awakened a new spirit; a new interest. He is popular with his congregation and all other that has visited. His own per- filiaries dilled with a name, a thusiasm that he has given, to the workers of his church. The church itself is the newest and finest in the Bay District. It stands as a monument to what was once a hope and dream. Much hard work and struggle, on the part of its congregation was necessary, before the first stone was laid. It is well located in a fast growing section of the Bay City. A play ground and public library will be located in close proximity; pleasing the edifice in the midst of a very bea- ful civic center, making an already good surrounding more pleasing. The pastor and his faithful members invite all to attend the services of the church. The First A. M. E. church—Rey. Robert House, pastor. The Sunday school is doing well under the leadership of Mrs. L. A. Taylor. At the morning services the pastor's sermon topic was "Consecrated Christian Service." "Observe the Law" was the subject of the evening meeting. He touched on, and stressed the fact that to be a true Christian one must obey the laws of man as well as God's. Quoting the substance of a statement by President Lincoln; that a bad law should be repealed as soon as possible—that in the meantime that law should also be obeyed as long as it is in force, for the sake of all laws. Many of the young people of the Sunday school and Allen League attended the Convention held at Eighth and Towne last week, July 11 and 12. They made a good showing from the report given out by the other churches that were in attendance. Philip's Chapel C. M. E. church, Rev. W. M. Seldon, pastor. Growing in favor with his congregation, Rev. Seldon is showing up splendidly as a leader of God's gospel in the Bay District. At the Sunday morning services preached an exceedingly good sermon. His topic was "Harmony." The service was highly spiritual, and the pastor was at his best in the rendering of the Word. "The Happy State of the Godly," entitled the sermon that ended services of the day. In the Sunday school, Mrs. O. S. Fletcher is doing a great work as superintendent. The Epworth League is still doing satisfactory in its program. The Ministerial Union will hold services at this church Sunday, the 24th. Rev. W. A. Jones and choir will preside. Dr. W. B. Butler, presiding elder, will hold quarterly Conference, July 28th. All are invited to be present. A "winnie-bake" party is planned for the night of July 30th—more will be said about this later. Mrs. W. M. Seldon is leaving Saturday for Sacramento, as delegate to the State Conference of the Court of Calanthe, Calvary Baptist church—Rev. W. A. Jones, pastor, Sunday, July 14 marked a new step forward for this church. The place of worship being completely refurnished and renovated. Dedicatory services were held in the evening; the new pews, baptistery, pulpit furnishings and hymn books were dedicated for service in the house of God. The Baptistery has been very beautifully decorated and refinished. New lighting fixtures also lend charm to the newness of things. Calvary Baptist has always been a progressive church, and under the leadership of Rev. Jones, it is going forward by leaps and bounds. A number of the members of this church will attend the Tri-County Convention to be held at Santa Anna. Thursday and Friday, July 18th and 19th. Delegates who will attend as follows: Mrs. W. W. Washington, Mrs. L. B. Show, Mrs. C. Gray, Miss Mar- W. A. Stewart HARDWARE, PAINT, WALL PAPER Dealer In A full line of Paint and Paper at down town prices WALL PAPER FROM 10 CENTS PER ROLL UP.
