1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 HIGHTOWER MURDER CASE GOES TO JURY JURY STILL OUT IN HIGH- TOWER MURDER CASE The Hightower murder trial holding forth at Long Beach for the past ten days has attracted a deal of attention, the court room being crowded at all sessions. The case on trial is that of the State vs. Raymond Hightower in which the State has demanded his conviction of murder in the first degree for the slaying of the stepfather of his wife, which killing was the result of a family quarrel, when Hightower sought to visit the house of Joe Trailer to visit his child. The couple had been estranged and his wife lived with her stepfather, Joe Trailer. Hightower claims self-defense. Terrific Legal Battle Leon Whittaker, well known young attorney of this city, represented the defense assisted by Curtis Taylor. The State was represented by Deputy District Attorneys, Clarence S. Hunt and J. Thomas Russell. It was a legal battle from start to finish, when the young gladiator, Leon Whittaker, matched wits with the seasoned attorneys from the District Attorney's office. Time and again the young man married the damaging thrusts of the state and threw consternation in their ranks at the masterful defense which he brought forth for his client. The concensus of opinion of all persons who heard the trial gives to Attorney Whittaker great credit for his defense in this major case. The case was presided over by Judge Walter Guerin in a fair and impartial manner. The very fact that as we go to press and the jury has been out all day without a sign of a verdict, is a tremendous victory for Whittaker and his associate, Curtis Taylor, and it is felt the jury will disagree.

CURTIS CARPENTER, POPULAR MANAGER LINCOLN THEATRE WEDS. Curtis Carpenter, manager of the Lincoln Theatre and Miss Muriel Jeanette Moore, beautiful and accomplished daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. Albert Moore, sprang a surprise on their many friends when they were united in the holy bonds of matrimony on last Sunday, July 21st. The declaration of marriage had been issued the preceding Monday at Santa Ana, the age of the groom was given as 37, the bride 21. The ceremony took place at the home of Mrs. Molly Fleming at Anaheim and was witnessed by the following friends of the happy couple: Curtis Mosby, Thelma Overton, Geo. Mosby and Molly Fleming. Rev. A. P. Shaw performed the ceremony. As stated above the invited friends were completely taken by surprise, they had been invited to attend a garden party, which turned out to be a wedding instead. The bride is well and invorably known and a former student U. S. C. Mr. Carpenter is well known and has made a success as manager of the Lincoln Theatre and was formerly a student of U. S. C. GARVEYITES FREED (Bv: A. N. P.) New York, July 23.—The eleven members of the Universal Improvement Association whose recent clash with an opposing Gawney faction brought them into court on charges of rioting were discharged in the Washington Heights Court last week. Terrible Auto Accident Before the eyes of hundreds of people one of the most horrible traffic accidents was witnessed on Sunday night, July 14th, when Roy Messen (wife) 14th, a taxi cab driver for the Poerless Cab Company, was instantly killed, when his car collided head on with a north bound Central Avenue car at Central Avenue and Twenty-Eighth Street. There were three colored passengers in the car at the time of the accident, who escaped death, but have terrible injuries to suffer. The passengers were: Clifford Henderson, 1458 East 20th Street, left arm broken in two places, dislocated collar bone, shattered hip bone, deep cut on right hand and left knee internal injuries; Reed Caffey 1128 1-2 E 38th Street received at least twelve cuts in the face which will leave him marked for life, Stonewall Jackson, 1260 E 20th street is suffering with injuries of the spine and severe internal injuries. The boys had just left the show, walked to the corner of 23rd and Central, decided to take a cab for an hour. The Caffey boy was to be put out first. The cab left its station going south on Central, to 28th Street. Upon reaching the corner of 26th the boys discovered the driver was driving at a reckless speed, and they at once began asking to be let out. The driver paid no head, but continued on at the rate of thirty miles. Just after passing Twenty-Eighth on Central Avenue a distance of about 14 feet, the driver pulled over to the north bound track and ran directly for the north bound U car, the cab striking the car and immediately caught fire. Suicidal intention on part of driver is firm belief of boys. N. A. A. C. P.

Last week it was our privilege to visit Northern California for the first time in more than a year. We have never in the past 20 years neglected our big brother cities of the North Oakland and San Francisco, respectively for so long a period of time. The magnet which drew us north was the annual meeting of the members of the Masonic fraternity of the California and Oregon Jurisdiction. Therefore accompanied by our Sport Editor, Mr. Arthur Hamilton, we pulled out of Los Angeles Saturday about 8 P. M. and arrived in Oakland on the afternoon of the next day. We stopped at the beautiful and substantial residence of Mrs. H. Shannon, 1492 E. St., Oakland. Mrs. Shannon is one of the most energetic, thrifty and industrious citizens of California and we are pleased to place her in the category of one of the staunch supporters of the "West's Greatest Weekly"—the California Eagle, Her son, Melvin, was very courteous and hospitable and sincere appreciation was the order of the day in the Shannon household. We attended the Grand Session of Masons held at the Elks Home, we were much impressed with the reports we heard and the general demeanor of the delegates which made up the Grand Lodge. We appreciated the highly creditible manner in which the Grand Masteq Rev. J. H. Wilson presided over the workings of the craft and we certainly feel that our visit and guest for progress of our group was not in vain. The spirit of group Masonry was a practical demonstration of "one hand washing the other" when the grand body or committee representing the same, chose to pay rent for the holding of their sessions to the members of the group in preference to others. We were glad to see this spirit, for be it known all of the sessions of the sovereign Grand Lodge and the Order of Eastern Star were held in the colored Elks Hall of Ockland. THE BUSINESS TREND While we were not bent on a business or even a casual newspaper survey along business lines, at spare moments we could not escape observing that business has not kept pace with progress neither in Oakland or San Francisco. On West Seventh street the mecca for our people, eating houses, barbersops and pool rooms predominate. No major business has yet branched forth. In the cafe line Oakland gets due credit for having the best in the country conducted by our group. REALTY Mr. E. B. Gray, pioneer realty broker with offices in the Blake Building up town, is without question the leading spirit in his line of effort and in our own personal opinion is the leading dealer of our group West of the Mississippi. He has built homes and transacted business, which makes him in a class to himself as a builder and broker. In a later issue it is our purpose to give to Eagle readers a resume of Mr. Gray's activities and accomplishments which we are sure will be illuminating and inspiring as well. The California Voice is the sole race journal published in Oakland. On our last visit this paper was surrounded on all sides by embryotic journals with plants all with evil design toward the Voice. We were proud to visit the plant of the Voice and see it standing in all of its majesty monarch of all its surveys, for instead of being devoured it has devoured everything in its wake with an eye for future futures and a curiosity of their product, that they might be of greeter service to the community which they serve. We-were glad to meet our old time and good friend Editor John L. Derrick, who is an able olly of the Daly's and is on the editorial staff of the Voice. Mr. Derrick was formerly publisher and editor of the Western Outlook which was merged into the Voice. The great and only G. W. Watkins, editor of the Western Appeal was much in evidence during our stay. Mr Watkins is, after the war, power game and knows what it is all OTTERATION uses. OTHERS WHOM WE MET Mr. S. E. Cook, 831 Union street, who is one of the stawmuch citizens of Oakland, active in civic and treasured business, both Beltway hotels for the rights of all people, supporter of race journals, Mr. Cook supporter of age journals, Mr. Cook was one of the founders of the Denver Star and to this day, is one of its owners. He is known far and near for his force of character and intrepid worth. Dr. O. W. DeVaughan, the man whose smile will not come off is still climbing the ladder of fame as one of the leading physicians and surgeons of California, is loved and respected by all who know him. The management of the Elk's home comes in for a good hand and word, for all of this galaxy of the herd proved themselves good fellows by leaving no stone unturned to make everybody happy. All Los Angeles folks, the reports say lived up truly to advance notices and carried themselves as true representatives of the people of this section. Closing the weeks' social events, Chas. Tilgman, the printer, gave a huge party for Milton Brown of Los Angeles on Saturday evening, July 20th. Fourteen Lessons in Life Insurance Free From time to time we've advertised for life insurance agents. The average person who reads these advertisements, too often draws hasty conclusions that he cannot become an insurance salesman. If he would only consider first, that the life insurance business is one of the greatest lines of business in the world, giving employment to many, many thousands of men and women, he would conclude it must be a matter worth his most careful consideration. The following will show its importance: In 1926 there were $8 Negro life insurance companys doing Business in the United States. Record shows assets of these Companies aggregated $7,500,000; insurance in force one quarter billion dollars; annual income, $10,000,000. This is a respectable Wm. NICKERSON, JR. record, and in view of its wide influence upon economic life, it is commonly accepted that the business of life insurance is the most nourishing business in which our people are engaged, and is the largest field of concentrated capital. The business has increased by leaps and bounds since 1926 and will continue so. As long as it is the most flourishing, the biggest and the best, it surely affords big opportunities to ambitions young men and women, who will qualify. So important is the business of life insurance among the whites that most all of the colleges and universities now offer courses of study along this line. Insurance companies have seen the necessity for this for a long time, for there never comes at time when life insurance companies do not need qualified representatives. Hence, an open opportunity. Many youths select for their vocation in life, the profession of medicine, law, banking, etc. Many are now selecting as their vocation the business of life insurance, because they are recognizing more and more the true value of, and the advantages offered by life insurance. Unlike other fields of endeavor, the life insurance field is not crowded. MARY MAY HELEN BEAVERS "The most beautiful wedding I ever saw." This was the acclamation of most every person in the great audience that taxed the capacity of the People's Independent church on last Sunday evening and witnessed the marriage of Miss Helen Beavers to Mr. John Russell. Miss Odessa Curry, popular little violinist played "At, Dawning" to open the wedding program. The wedding atmosphere was intensified when Mr. Elihu Sloan, one of Los Angeles' favorite tenor singers sang that familiar song, "O Promise Me" and Mrs. Addie Hutcherson Clarke, another favorite song bird, followed with the answer in solo, "I Promise Thee." Prof. Samuel Brown, graduate organist who presided at the Austin, then played Mendieson's wedding march while the bride's maids and groomes gracefully marched in. The bridesmaids were very pretty in the pastel shades of blue, pink, green and peach, with ruffles to the floor, picoted in silver, wearing leghorn hats and silver slippers. Each of them carried a floral sheath of pink premiere roses showered in green and silver ribbons. Misses Marguerite Robinson, Edythe Smith, Louise Smith and Virginia Mae Smith served as bridesmaids. The groomsmen who were very pleasing in their full dress suits were Messrs. Frederick N. Clarke, Henry Strickland, Walter Norwood and Ezra Lane. Mr. R. N. Sanford very efficiently served in the roll of best man. Following him came the groom, Mr. John H. Russell, who was handsomely dressed in groom's attire. Following the groomsmen and bridesmaids were six little junior bridesmaids: Betty Brown, Barbara Mae Lambert, Erma Boykins, Eunice Gross, Cecelia Disls and Ruth Ivalene Fowler.

In the next ten days, we will start a new class of twenty prospective agents. To the first ten applicants received at the Home Office, we will give fourteen lessons in life insurance free, the class will be conducted by President Wm. Nickerson Jr., in person.

DORSEY Considerable excitement and public resentment is being confronted by the District Attorney's office and Chief o' Police and his raiding hounds over the famous search without warrant order. Everything has been going along fine in their favor until the boys got a bit careless and crashed a convent door several weeks ago behind which were some nuns in prayer. The cause which was responsible for Jim Bates, a respectable time-honored citizen occupying a cemetery home, was laid officially at the police department door, and the city's funds were used to defend the four officers charged with causing his death. They were, however, convicted and a chief of police, who himself was summarily dismissed from the police force some eighteen years ago, and whose restatement several years later caused much criticism, refused flat-tootedy obey the eject of the Supreme Court and dismiss them. They still enjoy, with the exception of one, a salaried position, good health and travel around in their police mobile looking for fresh dark meat. It has been a common occurrence to see law-abiding citizens being held up and searched on the Avenue. Negroes whose vocations keep them out after 9:30 P. M., an hour after which the law unwittingly says a Negro with a grip has no business to be caught with such an article much less being seen going home. But the law in looking for more and newer worlds to conquer crashed in a Catholic Convent door and that has made a difference. It happened in Los Angeles. The news traveled East to Witchita, Kausa, before Los Angeles public heard about it. As a result six men of the District Attorney's raiding crew are reported as having lost their jobs. Not for having an innocent, law-abiding colored citizen permanently planted in a cemetery, but for kicking in the door of a sacred edifice. You see, folks, kicking in a Turn to Page Six Please Denounced For Using Governor's Name For Schemes Los Angeles, Calif., July 25. (A. N. P.)—Assemblyman Fred Roberts, 10 year assemblyman from the 74th District, publicly denounced R. Anderson Lowe, for attempting to put over a money-making scheme with the name of Governor C. C. Young as balt. Lowe who arrived here two weeks ago from parts unknown, engaged a suite of rooms at The Dunker Hotel, formerly the Somerville, and passed out cards representing himself as a publicity specialist and psychanalyst, of New York. He invited the three editors of the local newspapers to a big feed, but failed to show up himself, later announcing that he was going to start a daily and put them all out of business. To secure funds he planned a banquet purportedly to Governor Young, selling space on the souvenir programs at $55.00 each. Federal officers began hunting him for some alleged former illegal use of the mails and the hotel management reported that he escaped down the fire escape. Later he showed up at the Bloedgat office building paying one dollar down on an elaborate office room and issuing folders announcing the opening of a so called Golden State Bureau of Public Relations and claiming to release features and advertising through the Hearst publications. Officials of the Bloedgat building are preparing to elect him as they report. IT IS not a bad policy to handle the truth with kid gloves; for nothing seems to irritate like truth when it hurts. A MAN who continues to invest his money without any hope of adequate returns is foolish indeed, and yet that is what many of us do. As a group, we have more conferences, associations, conventions and meetings, titles too numerous to mention; annually and sometimes semi-annually. These gatherings are often fraternal, religious, civic, of social—all of which we need. We grow to understand each other and ourselves best through the medium of contact. But to the rational thinkers, each and every one will readily agree that far too much time and money is wasted in car fares and the transportation of ourselves from place to place. What happens here, happens in about every state in the United States. Exactly the same fraternities and religious organizations meet in Annual Session. Often the same delegates (those with a pull) are sent and more often the same routine of business gone over, without any progress to speak of having been made since the last meeting. The things given the most serious thought at these "annals" are the social features, including dress, and the opportunity of getting a long awaited personal revenge, by not voting for a brother or sister aspirant for office, when as a matter of fact the vital issue that confronts us at this time is the employment of 12 million Negroes in the United States. Of this 12 million, there are about one hundred eighty-five thousand and living in the State of California, more than half of whom live in the Southern section of the State—mainly in the larger cities. With a few exceptions, Negroes have not concerned themselves about employment. In the main we are a happy, care-free people; the fight for higher wages, shorter hours and working conditions in shops, mills mines never claim our attention. Some of our outstanding organizations are chiefly concerned as to who is in the lead, and not with the facts glaringly facing us, viz. The Negro as a Worker; The Negro as a Delegation in Large Cities; The Negro as a Citizen. As A Worker—As a worker, the Negro must find his proper place in labor organizations ready and willing to receive him, and must organize his own strength in these workers organizations. As a Dweller—A concerted effort must be made to secure better living conditions for Negroes in large cities. So long as he is willing to live in the meaner sections of the city and rear his children under unsanitary laws just so long will this be his portion as a city dweller. As a Citizen—As a citizen the Negro should demand equal rights of Citizenship with other citizens. Among some of the outrages on Negro Citizenship which we are called upon to fight against at this time is The Boyle Heights Swimming Pool situation, Negroes, so says the commission, may plunge every Monday. Any Negro man, woman or even child that will accept this compromise should be ostracized, tarred, feathered or banished. Let the Negroes in this section (some of whom are pioneers) rebell, go to the heds of the city government, and announce that they are willing to be eliminated from assessments that provide for this sort of thing preferring that those who swim and dip daily pay the cost; while they—the Negroes—use their bath tubs daily. There are 180,000 square miles comprising the state of California. At least half of the State may be used as farm lands where most of the citrus fruits that supply the great markets of the country are grown. On the great ranches and truck farms of California, there is independence. Hereon there is neither discrimination nor prejudice, but honest competition, and yet there are not as many as one hundred first rate Negro ranchers in the State. When our "Annuals" take up such questions as ranch owning by individuals or groups, wholesaling and retailing fruits, vegetables and cattle, then and not until then will our meetings and deliberations stand for something. "Radial Tolerance, Paused Too Far, May Mean Dilation of Cultures, Says Swant "Does the mixture of cultures of nations enrich our civilization or does it simply dilute without preserving the meritorious characteristics of various cultures?

They have elected to be selfish and keep the good things unto themselves. However in a moment perhaps of forgetfulness, the order elected as their leader a broad gayed unselfish person who serves for the purpose of helping all whom it is possible to help and he put out a searchlight, he used printers ink, abundantly so, he cited the benefits, the good deeds of his order and lo behold in the short period of one year, he added to his fold nigh unto a thousand members which demonstrates his worth, by, deeds and not words.

Signal worth and ability, his word is his bond and tie is on his way to greater and better results in the fraternal world than has ever been accomplished by this order in its entire history. COMMENDATION AND CONDEMNATION The outcome of the hearing wherein a member or a number of the members of our group were charged with the heinous crime of rape, turned out to be a farce and a reflection upon the police who preferred charges. As a result it is to our hopes that the police officers guilty of the same will get their just deserts. Just think of what could have happened if the cowardly predjudiced officers had been able to give the populace its propaganda. We further understand that the reason they did not succeed in putting over their propaganda, was the alertness of one of our Colored detectives, who challenged them to their teeth and defied them in their nifarious work. This officer is well known and we feel the people should know of his valiant service. For obvious reasons we cannot publish his name but it can be had for the asking. This publication desires to commend him for service rendered the people of this city in averting a possible race riot and the attendant evils thereof, we likewise condemn in unmeasured terms the pernicious acts of the predjudiced white officers who sought to bring about the debacle. We are informed the forces which are making valiant stand for the constitutional rights of all the people in this city government will be granted a hearing by Mayor Porter, Saturday coming at which time the situation will be gone over in detail. We have been further informed as to the Mayor's attitude in the premises at an unofficial hearing when in response to Dr. C. H. Hudson's plea when he said to the Mayor: Mr. Mayor we hope you will use the influence of your good office to restrictions from public place where all people pay taxes. A STRAW "The Mayor answered by saying so it is reported; You know there never will be a, time, when colored people and white people will bathe in the same pool at the same time." This being true it is apparent that those who stand for a square deal, and justice have an up hill fight. Be that as it may and regardless of the Mayors reported view upon the situation, taxation without representation is apparent, and all of his pledges and his Oath upon the Holly Bible becomes a mockery and a farce. Further, it would be just as reasonable and as sound in law to say—All red headed people can bathe in the public pools on Tuesday, all Sorrel tops on Wednesday, the Gray hairs on Thursday and the long hairs on Friday. We shall never recede for one moment in contending for every right guaranteed under the constitution and just that in natural trend of events, our position is justice and right, which in the end never fails.

The campaign for "truth in advertising" that the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World are waging is most praiseworthy. Falsity in advertising is rare, but it is sufficiently frequent to warrant the campaign against it. The "ad" is a silent salesman. It looks at you from the printed page or from car signs or from billboards—and you look at it. To win a buyer's favor is one thing. To keep it is another. A false "ad" may induce one sale, but the tricked customer does not return. The customer attracted by a true "ad" does return, and is therefore equivalent to two or more customers, according to the number of his return trips. This demonstrates the truth of the maxim that "honesty is the best policy," not only from the standpoint of morals, but from that of self-interest. The public is concerned in this advertising proposition. In its own interest it desires "truth in advertising." Advertisers who have confidence in the merits of their offerings are also urged by their own best interests to press for the truth. For falsity in advertising, even though of seldom occurrence, reflects on honest advertising. No advertiser can afford to be untruthful. Every advertiser who has anything to sell worth buying can afford to be truthful.

For presumably the plaintiffs once possessed them, and if they have lost them, many of them have themselves to blame. The high estimation of damages that plaintiffs place on the lost affections of their wives suggests that a little more care, a trifle more attention, a bit more consideration, a little more of the lover in marital conduct might have made alienation more difficult, if not impossible. The city that doesn't need wider streets is dead. One accessory on his car a man never boasts about is the mortgage.

There is some charm about San Francisco that is indescribale. So say the tourist who enters the portals of the city whether they come through the Golden Gate or make the approach from the East.. Like ancient Rome she enthroned on her seven hills. Should you come in the gathering twilight; The miriad lights from the crest of the hills beckon a light welcome. One great American personage, when given a taste of the City's hospitality, exclaimed, "San Francisco Knows how!" One feels the warmth of that hospitally which, by its very conservativeness, impress you of its genuiness. Few other cities of America, fewer still of foreign countries, can present more colorfulness, offer later diversion, or exhibit more cosmopolitan features than the city by The Golden Gate. One can spend years in the confines of San Francisco and, if observed, have unfolded some new interest each day. Coming across the Bay in company with an acquaintance, who had a very pressing engagement in a Southern city; He remarked that they would pull down the curtains of the taxi-club as they drove through from one rail way station to the other, otherwise the urge to linger might prevail. So it is. There is a caress in the ocean breeze that invigorates and even the mists, which sometimes swirl around the hill tops playing hide and seek with their beauty, adorns the scene. The people need no comment. A city which Phoenix-like rose to greater beauty from one of the greatest disasters of modern times attests the virility and courage of the people. You feel that Spirit of vim wherever you go. It's contagious. The sturdy spirits of the men who made California, hover over and about San Francisco and keep watch as she goes steadily on to greatness. If there is any politics in the air we have not sniffed it. Vague rumors of aspirations for numerous state and city offices are floating about but there is nothing of a definite nature. San Francisco being the principal port from which Orienta bound ships depart, is naturally interested in the tilt between Russia and China. The progress of negotiations—for peace or war—is being eagerly watched. The wharves are busy places now-a-days. Many shipments, are being sent and received. The sheds are piled high with boxes, crates and bales. Soon they will disappear in the capacious maws of the big hulls grinding their iron sides against the timbers. Sweating men, yelling quartermasters and bellowing boatswains, add their din to the whirring winches and snorting donkey engines. It seems peculiar to see the shipments of California fresh citrus fruits for Oriental ports. You remember? Some time ago this column made the prediction that such would come to pass and made the plea for ownership of land and its intelligent cultivation. A little more land; a few less "luxurious" motor cars might help. Motor cars deteriorate. Land appreciates in value. Since the young men kept an airplane in the air over 200 hours continuously. Others by the dozens have sought to emulate the feat. What can be gained by it? They are not going any place or getting anywhere. It has been determined that certain types of motors have endurance, as much so as the human engine. That certain models of planes are best suited for diverse conditions. When these things are determined, they cease to be matters for experimentation. Lindbergh would deem it useless to fly once more across the Atlantic ocean. He demonstrated, successfully, the possibility. He has converted the knowledge then gained, into a practical application. The continuous drone of the motor around a circle over an airdrome, even for 300 hours, would be a useless feat. We wonder when some of our 'adventurous' young men will get air-minded. "Dramatis Persona." Leading lady.—"Rich heiress" (white)) Hero,—Cabarett Saxophone player (non-white). The rest of the cast, conglomeration of show girls; clairvoyants, and irate parents. Scene 1 opens in a cabarette when the "Heiress" in company with friends seeking a thrill, enter and are seated. The Heiress is at once attracted by the moaning of the Saxophone "blues" and sees a very attractive person in the character of an olive-skinned young man. Her desire for closer acquaintance was gained by a succession of visits made alone. A close companionship developed, which led to the nuptial bed. Scene 2—secrecy; then more secrecy; scene 3—under hypnotic influence the "Heiress" reveals that she is the "wedded wife" of the "olive-skinned" saxaphone player, but was induced to become such while under the influence of hypnotism or anti-Volsteadism. It's just another case of "Kip and Alice" only this, that in this drama of alleged miscegenation the "Heiress" instead of the heir, was the suitor. Scene 3 will be enacted over a big stretch of territory. From Paris in France, where it is claimed that "Olive-skin" was married before to a maiden (non-colored) back to the courts of New Jersey, where annullment will be sought. Warning to young ladies seeking a thrill! "Look not upon the "Jack" when it is red; neither sip the "Mule" when it is white. Beware of the saxaphone's moan, and the seductive eyes of man who blows, for in them all, lies danger. The reformer seems to be a permanent affliction of normal humanity. Sometimes, though rarely, his task is an easy one; generally, however, it involves an uphill fight. Of the latter order is the campaign being waged by the editor of a medical magazine in favor of the use by women of more soap and water and less paint and powder. This unsophisticated believer in the power of the printed word avers that a symposium conducted among clubwomen throughout the country reveals a practically unanimous opinion against perfumes, excessive powdering and cosmetics. In the opinion of those consulted, all that is needed to secure skin, health and beauty, and incidentally a high standard of morals, is pure white soap, a washrag and plenty of warm water. They are lenient toward "a little powder," but, to a women they are emphatic in their condemnation of "whitewash and paint," which they consider disgraceful and demoralizing. Perfumes are also brought decidedly under the ban. The promoter of this reform movement allows it to be inferred that the women who express these emphatic views are representative of the "best thought" in their respective communities. But who ever heard of the world being guided by the best thought in any age? In matters of feminine fashion, above all, it has never counted a whit. Moralists and crudes have inveighed against this, that or the other practice, but lovely woman has gone on her way smiling and unheeding and maintained hed fad against all comers until a newer one displaced it. So it will be with the present craze for artificial complexions. Preach-scientists, even editors, may condemn it, but, despite them all, it will run its allotted course. Then presto! it will disappear on a sudden, as some new vaguary becomes the vogue, and no woman will appear in public with a painted face unless some hopeless case like "the Serpent of old Nile" in "Dombey and Son." Until that psychological moment arrives the medical editor is merely beating the air in his attempts at a general reformation.

RUTH J. TEMPLE Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics [NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 E. 23nl St., Phone, HU 3419 or VA. 1221.] VHAT PRICE MOTHERHOOD? "In Sorcrow Thou Shalt Bring Forth Children" I wish that the facts stated in this article could be broadcast over every radio in our land and made indelibly plain to all men and women, both young and old. Motherhood does cost and cost most dearly. Not one person in a thousand has any adequate conception of the frightful mortality which attends childbirth each year. We as citizens would think it most frightful if the U. S. lost 10,000 fine young men in war each and every year, and yet do you know that two times this number, plus one half this number of women are annually the victims of reproductions? In other words according to our very best authorities, in the U. S. alone, every year, 25,000 women die from the direct and indirect effects of pregnancy or labor. Or as another authority has put it, out of every 220 women who become pregnant one dies at some period of the process. Isn't that a tremendous quota? One out of every 200 and 25,000 deaths annually in the U. S. alone from pregnancy and labor. Enormous Death Rate Not Only Tragedy The 25, women who dies each year from the effects of child bearing represent only a small part of the 4th vast number of mothers who sustain injuries during child birth. To quote Dr. De Lee the universe amount of invalidis resulting from child birth is absolutely unmeasurable, but we know that annually hundreds of thousands of women flock to our hospitals for repair of injuries for relief from the effects of diseases contracted during labor. It is safe to say that 50 per cent of women who have had children bear the marks of injury, and will sooner or later suffer from them. Lacerations or tears of the Pelvic floor, of the ligaments of the utenes, bladder, vagina occur in every labor. This fact easily proved clinically by any accoucher, has been demonstrated by Schultze, and the anatointent Tander. The late consequences of the tearing and stretching of tissue mentioned above by the eminent obtretritian Dr. De Lee, and indeed a last of diseases, some fatal and all illimical to the enjoyment of life, all these conditions and others that could be named in considerable number that follow even NATURAL delivery stamp the function of reproduction in women not as a normal process, but as a pathologic process as it-occurs in the modern women. Is The Process of Pregnancy and Labor Normal? We know that pregnancy and labor should be normal because they represent natural functions of the human body. But as a matter of fact serious doctors who are doing nothing but obstetrical work, the world over question the "Normakcy" of pregnancy and labor, because so many mothers and babies are killed or wounded in the process of reproduction. To see the great number of deaths and the misery and pathology following child birth make-one look back to the very beginning of things and it makes us know that when God said to the woman "I will GREATLY multiply thy sorrow and thy conception", for "IN SORROW thou shall bring forth children", when we watch the wreckage that follows even so called "nornal" child birth it makes us know that when the God that made women's bodies said "In Sorrow thou shall bring forth" that He really ment just that. From the time of Eve until this present day, they are still "brought forth in Sorrow", Right now even while I am writing this I have a little prospective mother who has been knowing the "sorrow" of it for almost 18 hours. For since 10:00 o'clock last night she has been "having pains", and it is her first baby and however "Natural" her labor may end she has experienced 10 hours of suffering and knows along with hundreds of others, that "mothers sorrow" are children brot forth. The chief reason for bringing before you these facts is to awaken you as readers to a situation existing in your very midst of which most of us are densely ignorant. A situation for which by the way we all of us are partly or largely responsible. We dumbly call labor and pregnancy "Normal," believe in leaving our selves to the care of ignorant Midwives or poorly prepared attendants, and / then "letting nature take its course," and this it does, most truly by carrying to the graveyard each year 25,000 of our best women here in the United States, alone. Women Must Wake Up! Women Must Wake Up! We must wake up! and demand proper care during pregnancy and labor. IF MEN HAD TO HAVE THE BABIES, by the time one or two of them died in labor or they would raise such a hue and cry that the U. S. Government would have to raise the standard and not allow ignorant Midwives and poorly prepared attendants to take the grave responsibility of handeling a case with such dangerous possibilities as is an obstetrical case. They would put a ban on the ignorant Midwives and demand expert doctors, who are well fitted to care for a case so grave But we as women are used to suffering and used to seeing our fellow women suffer, and we must wake up! Realize that 1 woman and of 2 or who becomes pregnant will die and that 25,000 women in the U. S. will die every year, in the future just the same as in the past, unless we demand higher standards and demand the care of a good efficient doctor who is intelligently prepared to study the needs of the particular case under his or her care and to meet those needs efficiently. The education of the general public to the grave dangers of pregnancy and labor and the demanding of efficient well trained doctors to handle every confinement case will do more than any thing in the world to reduce the frightful monthly attendant upon this condition. (To be continued.) THANK GOD. AMEN Continued from Page. Ong ruled Africa, was looked upon for years as a social pastime. The pastime got monotonous. The lynchers crazed increased excitement and so to satisfy their lust they took to driving the human soul out of the material body by burning these same folks alive at the stake. The crime (?); statistics show 10 per cent was for unproven charges of rape and 90 per cent for whatnot, such as horse stealing, protecting one's home, "sassing" a white man and other petty crimes. But still the thirst for murder grew and the criminal art of lynching black women was taken up and indulged in as a new social pastime. Fifty daughters, offsprings of these same African Kings, have lost their lives, but not their souls; no, not for rape, not for committing murder, but protecting their loved ones. And for this 'act alone, they too have paid the price and been lynched, burned at the stake and pregnant mothers have been disembeowed. "Oh Justice, who handled thy FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1929 sacred door, while a crime in itself, is a "heap more worse"—in the language of Will Rogers—than causing honest, living folks to be taken from their duties here among us and planted in a cemetery yonder. Down home—South—lynching male Americans, whose descendants were offsprings of Black Kings that once scale of balance: Oh conscience, who was thy Judge." But this was not satisfaction now. It too became monotonous. The crowds grew smaller, the actors disinterested. No longer was lynching and burning at the stake of blacks interesting even when the audience that boasted of American civilization with its social ethics and standards were permitted to join in the festivities and take home the ear, nose, toe, or some other portion of the victim as souvenirs. The mob craved new excitement and with no other worlds to conquer they began lynching and killing their very own. White men were now the fuel being used to satisfy this lust, this thirst, this abnormal craving for human blood, nay for that one thing man can take away but cannot restore—LIFE. That folks, has made a difference and brought about a change for the better. It has stopped white mobs from lynching and burning Negroes at the stake. It has prevented them from lynching and perhaps confronting their own womanhood with the treatment measured out to innocent black mothers. Yesterday there was nothing wrong, nationally, about lynching and burning Negroes at the stake or locally about raiding homes and searching Negroes on the street without a warrant. Today the national sport of lynching and burning human beings, as well as the local pastime of searching homes and humans, black or white, without a warrant are sports that have passed. Why? Not because they lynched Sam Hose, some fifteen years ago, or disembowelled a black mother—Mary Turner—in addition to establishing a lynching record of over 3,500 in thirty-five years of whom 50 were women. Not because Jim Bates, an innocent victim of local white officers, just lies in his grave, but because of the fact that white folks dared to lynch their own. because they dared to kick in the door of a sacred edifice—God's Temple. These are two thing mobs' officials, (if there be such a thing, or otherwise) must not indulge in. But white folks have dared to do these two things, and it has made an improved charge, both locally and nationally, for crimes that were yesterday considered sports and listed as social pastime, have become a crime overnight, so to speak, within the eyes of the law in the south as well as the north subject to court trial and just punishment. That, folks, makes a difference, thank God. Amen! HUGE CROWDS WITNESS HUGE CROWISL BEAVERS-RUSSELL CEREMONY Continued from Page One gowns of pastel shades with ruffles to the floor, carrying a corsace bouquet of pink sweet, peas and malden hair fern. Little Leonard Carl Beavers as ring bearer was the center of attraction in his minature full dress suit. Next in the procession the maid of honor, Miss Willie B. Nickerson, who was very beautiful wearing a gorgeous cown of pink taffetta and tulle, a hair braid hat with silk velvet streamers and pink satin slippers. She carried a beautiful floral arm scarf of Russell roses. Then came the bride, who was very charming in a beautiful gown of ivory satin, trimmed in real lace, rine stones and orange blossoms. She wore a Dutchess lace veil trimmed with sprays of orange blossom and white satin slippers. The beauty of the bride was enlightened by a huge bouquet of white Killarney roses showered in white satin ribbons and sweet peas which she carried with case. She was immediatly followed by her sister, Mrs. Elmyra Long, who very gracefully served as matron of honor. Mrs. Long was beautifully dressed in an attractive orchid gown of celeniae morie, wearing a hairbraid hat with silk velvet streamers and orchid crepe slippers. She also carried a floral arm scarf of Russell puses. After the procession was completed and the noble pastor, Rev N. P. Greggs performed the impressive ceremony the stage was a wonderful scene of beauty. The attractiveness of the garden scene was enhanced by the gorgeous floral sheaths and scorfs carried by the ladies. The flowers and decorations were furnished by California's favorite decorator, Mr. Ralph Porter. Following the ceremony, Ive hundred guests were received in the Assembly Hall of the church where they extended congratulations to the happy couple. The reception was very efficiently cared for by Mrs. Azelia Blakeney and her assistants. The hundreds of valuable wedding gifts received by Mr. and Mrs. Russell attest the admiration of a host of friends and the beautiful wedding speaks volumes of praise for the bride's father, Mr. Geo A. Beavers, Sr. isb PROMINENT IOWANS VISIT LOS ANGELES' Mr. V. L.

Ever since the club opened it has shown matches that would draw a top house in several of the clubs around Los Angeles. Ontario is smaller than San Bernardino but seems to get the better fights. This week the west end fight house has a main event on tap that will mean action from gong to gong. Young Sam Langford, as clever a mittman as ever you would want to see, takes on Tommy Elles. Ells is the same Mexican bird that beat Johnny Adams a couple of weeks ago. Fresh from his victory over Adams and gunning for bigger things, Ells says that he will K. O. Sam Wednesday night. Boxer and Slugger It will be a battle well worth going to see. A boxer and a slugger. Elks the Slugger and Langford the boxer. When it comes to the finer points of boxing there are few boys on the coast at 150 that can beat Sam. He has a snaking hand that darts in and out so fast that you can't follow it. He can win a fight with that lift hand alone. Elks is just a counterpart of Langford. He is a slugger and fighter from gong to gong and will take two to give one. Sam will have to be at his best Wednesday night, because Tommy will push the battle from start to finish and will try his best to out fight the Avenue boy. Johnny Adams is known to be one of the roughest and toughest sluggers on the coast and Tommy Elks beat him at his own game so you know Young Sam has a battle on his hands. Hess Eldes the matchmaker at San Berdoo had a little trouble finding his card up for this week, but/after a little work had come out with a real action card for this Thursday. The trouble Elkins had was/this. The San Berdoo matchmaker had intended to use Johnny. Adams the Mountain Lion in another main event this week but they could not come to terms and he had to change his plans. The Mountain Lion fought Tommy Elks that tough Mexican hombre at San Bernardino two weeks ago and although he lost the duke he made such an impressive come back the fans clamored for the old favorite to be shoved right back in a top spot this week. But after promising Heas that he would fight for him he raised his price and decided that he would not fight unless he got it, so therefore we have the change in the program. But for all of that Berdoo has a w jam up card, Sammy Aguirre who has all shown well in the Gate city goes to the post against 'Bert Hubbard for tea rounds or less. Aguirre has had several main events at Elkin's Club and has won them all by the K. O. route. This Hubbard is a tough baby and Sammy need not look for any set-up because he will have to keep busy all the time to win from Bert. The Main Event looks extra good but there is a bout on the card that might steal the show. Leonard Porter a back boy from New Orleans is fighting the special event against Freddie Hawkins, Baby Sal's stable mate. Porter is another boy that has gone over big at San Berdoo and if he keeps up his present price will soon be on the top of the card instead of in the middle. No News From mJimmie STILL NOTHING HEARD OF JIMMY BLACK Some weeks back we got the news that Jimmy was ready to step into the ring and show his stuff, but up to date nothing more has been heard from Black. Jimmy is one of the sweetest glove throwers in the business today and it is a real pleasure to watch him work. He is clever and has a left hand that won't stop for anything. Natural A South Paw Rightfully Black is a southpaw made over. When Jimmy first started fighting he found it difficult to get matches because he was a southpaw so his manager changed his style and made him lead with the portside instead of the right and he has a wonderful left now. He can jab, hook, punch straight and anything else that can be done with a portside hand. Still Can't Get Matches But for all the changing of his style he can't get rights. None of the boys want to meet him. This very same Goldie Hess that is on the top now wants none of Jimmy. True, Black lost a decision to Hess down at Ocean Park, Hess's home town, but the papers down there said that he was robbed and since then Davall's boy has not been able to edge in on a match with Harry Pettitt's 130 pound. A good boy idle because he can't get matches. Nothing more. S.P. Red Caps Wm S. P. HBD:CAPS WIN AT SANTA:MONICA The Southern Pacific Red Caps crack baseball team took a trip down to Santa Monica last Sunday and defeated a strong white nine of the beach city, 10-5. The game was very evenly contested until the 4th inning, then things began to happen for the Red-Cap boys. Right in a row Lewis, Andeno and Gradington singled. That put three men on bases. Ross then started the real fireworks by banging out a triple to clear the sacks. Before the Santa Monicans could stop the rally the black boys find nested 5 runs and from then on had the game sewed up. Adams and Baker performed in big league style in their battery work. The Santa Monica team was held to seven hits by the air tight pitching of Adams, and the catching and throw- ing to the bases by Baker was good to look at. The S. P. boys take a trip over to the crown city next Sunday, where they take on the Pasadena Advertisers at Tournament Park. The Red Cap boys are going like a million now and are pointing for that tough return game with the L. A. Fireman at the White Sox Park, Saturday, August the 3rd. Everyone remembers the battle the fire- ers and the S. P. boys put up the first time they met and this return match has all the ear-marks of a real ball game. GORILLA JONES COMING Gorilla Jones, that now black sensation from the East is due to show here during the month of August and then the Avenue will again be well represented at Jack Doyle's fistic house. It has been some time since Black Broadway has been in evidence at the Olympic. ZORILLA AND MORGAN LAST TIME The last time that the gallery was affected by colored tints was the time Santiago Turtille went to the post assistent Ted Morgan for the Junior Historical Life. Wirt Ross 'Bellever In Black Boys -By War Hamilton Wirt "One Shot" Ross is a firm believer in the ability of black boys as fighters. Ross has eleven boxers in his stable and seven of them are dark skinned boys. Ross has proved his theorey that black boys are the best fighters by having so many of them, and the best part of it is that every one of them are tophotchers or so near it you wouldn't know the difference. Every One Money Makers The star in Ross's stable is little Santiago Zorrilla 126 pounds, who has never turned in a bad fight since he started in the game. Dylimate Jackson Next 'Next on the list is Dynimite Jackson 195 and has not had one defeat challenged up against him this year stirs. His last victory was over Seal Harms at San Diego who he took ten straight rounds from. Then Amador Then comes little Pedro Amador who is some sweetheart himself when it comes to stinging the padded mitts. Amador is a heavy favorite up around Frisco and Portland. Louis Ramos Louis Ramos rates next and although he has not reached the big money he is some baby with his dukes. Last Tuesday night on the Baby Sal-Eddie Mack card he turned in a good fight to beat Wendal Long the so called Baby Jack Dempsey. All in all "One Shot" has a million dollars in these boys alone. Long Tom Hawkins Coming Right Along Long Tom Hawkins of San Diego is one of the coming Heavies. It has taken Hawkins a long time to get the recognition that is coming to him, but he is showing them better than he could tell them. Long Tom is cleaning up on every thing in sight and he is doing it in such a way that there can be no doubt as to how good he is. Last Friday night he took a trip up to San Francisco to fight Seal Harris a heavy from Chicago and put the fights out for Seal in the short space of one caffio. As we were up north all last week we had the good fortune to see the fight. I don't know why I call it a fight because it wasn't a fight. It was over so quick the fans did not know just what had happened. Hawkins lead out with a left and caught Seal on the point of the lug, down wint Mr. Harris for a short count. He got up but he might as well have stayed down because Long Tom, measured, him off and let him have the pile driving right square on the hutton and that was all. Hawkins Has Puzzling Style Tom has one of the queerstyles I have ever seen, but it brings home the goods and thats what counts. The San Diego heavy stands about six feet six inches and tips the Fairbanks at 235. This is what makes his style such a puzzle. With all of his height he is due to have a enormus pair of arms and he has that and no less. JONES WILL PACK THEM IN BY THE HUNDREDS. This Gorilla Jones is some fighter as he has proven to all the Eastern boys. In fact he is so good he has fought himself out of work and he had to come to the Pacific Coast to keep Gorilla has taken the best of them down the line. He beat Tommy Freeman that hard hitting wester that all the boys were getting out of the way of. Jones then hit on the floor. He walks out to meet his opponent with a long left hand extended and it looks like it stretches from one side of the ring to the other as so very long, with this long left stuck out there he burries his chin in a pair of massive shoulders and then he goes to work. Mind you now you can't see his chin, that is literally speaking; with that lug buried for safe keeping he starts jabring with that left and when he finds an opening he lets that right go that has the T. N. T. in it and when she lands they might as well turn out the lights' right then and there. Another thing about that right mit. He brings it all the way from the floor and she carrys all of his 235 pounds of muscle and bone. Knocked Out Clisby I have seen Hawkins fight twice and both he scored a knockout and when I say a knockout I mean that in every sense of the word literally and materially. The first time I cast my peepers on the San Diego giant was up in the old town San Berdoo, and he was fighting Neil Clisby for the fifth time. Clisby Victor In Most of Bouts In the four bouts preceding this fifth battle Neal had walked off with the duke every time, but oh how different it was this time. Even for Four Rounds For the first four rounds the setto was all Clisby's because of his wonderful boxing, and then came that fatal iifth. Clisby was boxing along as pretty as could be and he went to the ropes to get away from Tom and as he spun around coming off the hemp Hawkins brought that right all the way from his shoe tops and let the Thunder Bolt have it right on the vital spot. It took ten minutes to bring him around. Almost the same thing happened in Frisco Friday, it took some little time to bring Seal around, because that right had every thing on it that Hawkins could muster. Soon A Match For Godfrey If Long Tom keeps up his winning streak and over the boys that he has been putting away it won't be long before he will be worrying the Black Shadow. And when he can do that he is a real contender and no less. SAVING SAM'S SHOE AND KEY SHOP 1406 S. CENTRAL AVE. We make all kinds of keys perfect. We make all kinds of keys perfect. EXPERT, RHOE, REPAIRING "Bad Boy" Bobby LaSalle was touring the East a while back and Gorilla took him right abing with the rest. And to top it all Jones has stopped Al Melto, who has Joe Dundee down the track. Gorilla is slated to go to the post here the 20th against Dummy Mahan. This should be some battle as both of them are hitters and when two boys get together that can seek as they can something is bound to drop.

MASONS HOLD GRAND BALL FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF 250 DELEGATES AT BEAUTIFUL HOTEL LEMINGTON, OAKLAND, CALIF. (By ART HAMILTON) As a grand climax to the three days convening by the Grand Lodge of the Masonic Order held at Oakland this year, a glorious grand ball was held at the Hotel Leamington on 18th and Fanklin streets, Oakland, California last Thursday night. HOTEL BEAUTIFUL Hotel Leamington, known in the Northern city as the hotel beautiful was in reality a dream that night. Under the softest of lights, fuseliic colors and on a marvelous floor a crowd of 800 people, Masbuns and friends danced to the enticing music of an eight piece orchestra. BALL WELCOMED After a very strenuous three days of business the hall was indeed a welcome affair to the delegates from all over California and Oregon. FORMAL AFFAIR The affair was entirely formal and the ladies were there in very beautiful gowns. The gowns that were worn on this occasion would do credit to the best that Fifth Avenue could produce. MEN IN FULL DRESS The gentlemen were there in full dress to make it a real formal success. In every respect the ball was a real social affair. The committee in charge of the ball were: T. E. Graham and Ida Rafew. Will you be there? Where?? Las Jardine's Lawn, Fete, Central Ave- nue Gardens 9412 Paeo Avenue, Sat- urday night, July 27, 1929. Large Wholesale Shoe Warehouse YALE OKUN STOPS DICK D'AN IELS IN 3R DROUND By: ART HAMILTON Left hands and more of the same stopped Dick Daniels the young Danish Dempsey in three cantos Tuesday night, in the Olympic main event—one round less than the first time they met. Okun fought a master's fight. It seemed as if it was the teacher giving the pupil a much needed lesson in the art of self-defense and no more, that is how one-sided the was was. The first round was all Yale. The Jewish heavy was boxing along nicely and was not worried one bit. He just seemed to be biding his time, and was waiting for the right opening. He soon found it and he started working on Daniel's mouth with a slashing left. Daniels In the Second In the second round Daniels came out with a little more pep and he started slugging with the Dynamite right of his. In this round the so-called Danish Dempsey landed his only telling blows of the fight, when he crashed through Okun's almost unpenetrable defense and planted several rights to the button. This was the only bad round the Jew had and he evened that up in the last stages of the canto by finding his mark with that death-dealing left again and dropped Daniels for a nine count. Bleeding in Third When the third and last round started it was plain to see that Daniels felt that he had met his master. His lip was cut again and he was bleeding like a stuck hog. It was the same cut that Yale opened in the first fight. He opened it again in the first round Tuesday and he kept his left hand in it all the time Game To The Last The Danish Kid was game and he went down tighting. He tried to fight all the time, but the Jew had too much experience for him. As they walked out for the third canto Okun went out to put his man away and he poured rights and lefts from all angles to put the kid down for two counts of nine, just as Daniels was staggering up from the second knock down the towel came sailing in from his corner to save him from being stopped cold. Just a case of over-matching. Carpentier There Just before the main event gorgeous Georges Carpenter was introduced and got a big hand. The Preliminaries were fair. In the first bout on the card Trench King a veteran of 400 battles was given the duke over Marcus Zorrilla, Santiago's young brother. King scored a knockdown in the first round and that was what counted against the kid, as he put up a winning battle in the closing rounds. In the third Young Zorrilla had Trench out on his feet but couldn't put him away. A draw would have satisfied everybody. Mission Bolo and Kenneth Johnson fought a draw in four heats. Pat Hayward and Walter Hoffman went four slow rounds to an even verdict. In the semi-windup Frankie Campbell a rough and tumble fighter from Frisco put Clyde Colvin's lights out in the 4th round after the black boy had been on the floor three times.

UPTON PULLMAN PORTER KILLED IN WRECK Seven passengers and a Pullman Porter by the name of Bruce Cline were killed and more than a score of passengers Injured last week when the Colorado Express, crack Rock Island westbound train, crashed thru a bridge over Spring Creek between Vona and Stratton, 150 miles east of Denver. The train run on a bridge at the same instant that a towering wall of water, raised by a cloudburst struck the structure. The Pullman car that was in charge of Porter Bruce Cline was submerged beneath the roaring torrent of water. Later on Cline's body was found at least a half mile down the creek, floating on top of the water. The car was a St. Louis car, and was loaded with St. Louis passengers. Scores of passengers lined the railroad track, many of them in their night clothes, and dozens of others in scanty attire, unhurt by the crash, immediately set about the task of lending first aid to the injured. Schreams of women and children could be heard above the roar of the creek water. At the time that this article was written, it had not been learned whether Porter Bruce Cline had a family or not. A COUNTRY WITHOUT A FLAG AND A PORTER WITHOUT A LINE Have you ever heard the old story of a country without a flag? "Well, it's just about the same tale as a porter without a line. The writer having been displaced on his line thought he was entitled to bid in where his seniority prevailed, so he looked over the list and picked out a bird that he had by almost year and asked for him. Did he get him? He did not; and why? Well, to begin with, you are a Randolph Porter, and our first consideration is for our 'loyal' men regardless of seniority. Get ye out of my sight, you 'Villian' and seek your bread from the extra board." Oh, Ho! It's touch all right, but bye and bye I catch 'em. - MRS NEST RETIRES FROM PULLMAN SERVICE Last week, while seeking a conference with Mr. O. W. Snoddy, I was surprised to feel a nudge at my arm, and still more surprised in flinching out that it was our genial stenographer, Mrs. Nest. All the porters who have been in this district for any length of time, know Mrs. Nest. She has been serving the Pullman Company for the past 20 years, and has always displayed a keen interest when she was present in the office in seeing that the porters got waited on. Mrs. Nest has informed the writer that she has punched her last typewriter key for the Pullman Company and at the time of our conversation she was making hasty preparations to leave the job that has been her lot for these many years. The boys will all miss Mrs. Nest. She was a true friend to the Pullman Porter and her many acts of kindness and exceptional courtesy will always be remembered by the Pullman Porters of this district. Mrs. Nest's demonstration of kindness only goes to show one that you do not have to be a slave driver or piece of machinery to work in the Pullman office. We wish her all the success in the world in whatever line she may choose to follow. WOMEN'S ECONOMIC COUNCIL The writer had the, pleasure of interviewing the president of the Women's Economic Council last week, and taken her views on education, which are as follows: "The overemphasis on social science affects every man, woman and child. It is a working together, carrying on the great important activities of life. To do our share in the world we must know what other men have overcome; what reward they have earned. The race and religion do not count. Justice rules, progress never stops. So the remedy for all illa is education, knowledge. Give light and the people will find their own way. The Colored Women's Economic Council have voted to devote their meetings on the third Mondays to programs only. From time to time we shell have visiting speakers, round table talks and music. We were very much encouraged at our meeting of July 15th, it being our first attempt with a program. The glee club met at 7:00 p.m., and after spirituals and the National Anthem, all were in a joyous mood. We just had a wonderful time, and the public is invited to these meetings. The co-partner of education is cooperation. The first act of cooperation happened when primitive man was in the collection stage, and living in the stone age. He soon learned that he could have more food by hunting in pairs or groups, and that a half of an elephant was better than none. Our handicaps come from trying to battle the problems of life in small numbers. It takes the combined forces of all to do big things, therefore the Womens' Economic Council of Los Angeles, extends an invitation to all one hundred per cent women to join this worthy organization and help lift 12,000,000 men and women to a higher plane of integrity and worth by so doing you help the race in general, and leave cherished history that will stand as a monument for years to come. LOCAL NO. 18, SHOP CRAFT ASSOCIATION A regular meeting was held on the night of the 18th, and was called to order by the vice-president, Mr Clark. Minutes of the previous meeting were read by Mr. Powers, secretary. They were received and adopted by the order. Three grievance cases were presented by Thomas E. Kyser. Grievance Committee to officials who will give them considation at a later date. HARRY SMITH IN ACCIDENT Harry Smil, chairman of the Trustee Board, met with a very serious accident, when he was struck by a motorcycle at 43rd and Central avenue. The rider of the motorcycle was also injured, and both were rushed to the Whites' Memorial hospital. However, Mr. Smith will be transferred to the S. P. Hospital in San Francisco, as soon as his condition will permit removal. Ira Irvine, who recently returned to this city from Kansas City, where he was attending High school, got set back from shift No. 2 to shift No. 11 by a bump coming from Albert Greer. Irvine is an athlete that is very fond of playing tennis, so will not let the change effect his playing as he will play in the mornings till high noon. George Steward has resigned after six years in the yards in order to take another position. The cleaners wish Mr. Steward much success in his new position. Mr. Melvin Moore is throwing a party at his home in Watts on the 27th, and invites the boys to join him in the social event. SAFETY MEETING The Safety meeting for July was held at 2 p. m., on the 15th. About 50 porters were present. The chief discussion was in regard to the deflectors, in which no change was effected on account of an existing contract. We are fourth in the race for the truth. Joe Estorage made a very good suggestion, also J. Prayer and M. Harris. U. S. Hickerson and J. Lee are on the injured list, also Ed. Garey. The meeting was rather tame and lasted about 30 minutes. Daddy Jack Wortham was among those present. The Pullman Porters Benevolent Association will meet on the 31st at the Y. M. C. A. Reports have it that H. L.

New Orleans, La., July 23—Aaron A. B. Chatters, high in Elk circles, who lost the prospect of a $3,000 judgment when the supreme court reversed his case and sent it back to the federal district court here for a new trial after a long drawn out suit for damages against the L. & N. and Southern railroads, has been taxed for costs incurred by the L. & N. Railroad in an amount totaling two thousand dollars. Chatters suffered injuries to his eyes from broken glass from a railroad window of the car when he was en route from New Orleans to Washington. He had left New Orleans on a through train over the L. & N. from which he obtained his ticket, but at the time of the accident the train was being operated over the Southern System tracks by that railroad. He brought suit against both roads but the final judgment eliminated the L. & N. from the case. Attorneys for that railroad obtained the order taxing Chatters for costs.

North Platte, Neb., July 23—With an investigation under way, Negroes who were driven from this town-by a white mob Saturday, are rapidly returning to their homes and are being offered protection by local and state law enforcement departments. A thorough investigation is being made into the affair which placed a blot on the name of the town and which has aroused theire of the best people of the community. The case grew out of the killing of a white policeman by a Negro worker. White Citizens Criticize Mob Typical of the opinion being expressed by white citizens throughout the state is that of Russell Taylor, who in a statement issued to the Omaha World-Herald, criticized the action of the mob and the neglect of the state to send the militia here when the trouble first started. Mr. Taylor points out that had the state militia been dispatched here the whole affair would have been averted. He further scooted the 97 per cent of the citizens who took no part in the trouble for not using their influence to allay the trouble and to protect the Negro citizens from the hoodlun element which drove them from their homes. Referring directly to the cause of the trouble, Mr. Taylor declared: "Louis Seeman was one man. By chance or fore-ordination he was a Negro. When he fired the shot that killed Ed Green he was amenable to a law which prescribes death for such an act. When he fired the shot that ended his own life all the ends of that law were satisfied. All the legal power of the state could not mete out more complete satisfaction. "Clearly, then, it is no demand, for justice that caused the 199 Negroes to be driven ruthlessly from their homes, their possessions, their living." These 199 Negroes are no more responsible for the death of Officer Green than are the thousands of white residents of North Platte. Why penalize them? "It is far from reassuring to note the statement of Chief of Police J. Dorran in which he strongly asserts ability to protect the exiles when they return to settle their affairs, but can promise little protection should they decide to stay." "It is still less reassuring to note the sheriff's statement: 'When they left it was with the understanding they were going to stay away. The idea is to keep them away." "Can such be in Nebraska whose motto is, 'Equal rights under the law?' Can such possibly be the attitude of the highest enforcement officer of the city of North Platte and of Lincoln County?" "With whom, pray, was 'the understanding they were going to stay away' made? Upon whom rests the responsibility for 'the idea is to keep them away?'" SAN FRANCISCO The home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones at 1220 Eddy Street, was the scene of a beautiful Chinese party on Friday evening, July 19th, given by Miss Ethelle Grant honoring Mr. and Mrs. Hessel Davis and Mr. and Mrs. R. Carol of Pasadena, Calif. The house was decorated with many flowers and soft colored lights, cards and dancing were the features of the evening. The guests were ushered into a beautifully decorated dining room where the table was covered with a costly filet cover over rose satin which made a wonderful background for the huge hower of rose and carnations and rathedral candles that artistically graced the table. A delightful Chinese dinner was served by Misses Grant and Jones who are expert authority on Chinese dishes. Those enjoying the hospitality: Mr. and Mrs. Hassel Davis, Mr. and Mrs. R. Carol, Mr. and Mrs. F. Scales, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Harrison, Mr. and Ms. Fed Woodson, Mr. and Mrs. L. W.

"Come Seven," a comedy on colored people by Octavus Roy Cohen and enacted by the famous colored Lafayette Players, will have its stage premiere in Los Angeles at the New Orange Grove Theatre on Grand near Seventh. Thursday night. Al and Charles Christie are sponsoring the opening night as a tribute of motion picture folks to Octavus Roy Cohen, the playwright whose recent visit and business associations with the film colony endeared himself to all of Hollywood. The Christies report that at least 200 famous stars, writers, society leaders and producers will be present Thursday to honor Cohen. "Come Seven," is in three acts. The setting is the Southern Home of Mrs. Goins. The cast in addition to the star, Evelyn Preer who is seen as Vistar Goins, includes Charles Olden as Urias Nesbit, Edward Thompson as Florian Slappey; Laura Bowman as Elzevin Nesbit; Lawrence Criner, probable Huff, Edith Spencer, Mrs. Chew; Malcolm Patton, Lawyer Evans Chew; Ceo Desmond, Litha Blevins; Arthur Ray, Cass Deegers and several others. Robert Levy, producer and manager of the plays has enjoyed ten long years of prosperity in presenting colored players and colored artists in dramatic productions. His Lafayette Players have played practically every musical comedy; every tragedy from "Hamlet" to "Madam X" and with "Coquette" an assuity for their future repertoire; every comedy from "Seven Days" to "The Gold Diggers;" every farce from "The Blue Mouse" to "Cradle Snatchers." In their new home, the Orange Grove surrounded by Mosby's Blue Serenaders, a jazz band par excellence playing interpolated music during the action of "Come Seven," Producer Levy believes that he has a royal flush in "Come Seven" and the Lafayette Players. Midnight matness will take place every Saturday, at 12, it is announced, with Mosby's Blue Serenaders and members of the cast doing special numbers between acts and before the show starts. Famous stars will be invited for the midnight shows. Stepin Fetchit has already received his invitation. New Talent Galore to Be Featured During Ted Lewis Week BRAND NEW SHOW OPENS TONITE ...AT APEX SPONSORING HITS OF POPULAR COMPOSER-MUSICIAN Beginning tonite there opens at Curtis Mosby's Apex Nite club the most pretentious floor of the season; featureting the largest array of talent even presented to the Los Angeles public, in the history of Nite clubs in this city. TED LEWIS AGAIN The revue opening tonite (Friday July 26th) is being dedicated to that wizard of the musical world, and R. K. O. headliner, Mr. Ted Lewis and the first week of its run will be known as "Ted Lewis Week." Practically every song or dance number used in this gala floor show was either written or featured at some time by this popular composer and his famous band over the R. K. O. circuit. LEWIS TO BE THERE The best treat of all is that on the opening nite (Friday, July 26th) Mr. Lewis and the entire personnel of his band are to be present as special guests of honor of the Apex Nite club management. Mr. Mosby, the genial owner of this wonderful playground of the nite lifera, in keeping, with his standard policy of continuously securing new talent to entertain his patrons, has engaged six new artists to appear in the new show. Norrville Reese, the little man with the big voice will be there to give you a variety of new songs rendered as only he can do it. Then there's daunty little Mary Richard, the greatest jazz dancer the Pacific Coast has ever produced. That neat dancing team of Dick and Slick, who have just returned from a short tour over the Fox West Coast Circuit, where they were more than a sensation, will be there in all their dancing glory, and no less. Now we come to a newcomer to our Los Los Angeles Nite clubs in the person of little May Diggs a product of New York City. While playing an engagement in one of Chicago's foremost Nite clubs this little winsome Miss made quite a reputation for herself. OLD TIME FAVORITE Then there is that old time favorite, Caggle, known to the many admirers of her work as "Black Bottom." I need say nothing other than to ask you to recall her work at the old Humming Bird Cafe where she used to panic 'em nitely with her original style of blues warbling. Augmenting these stars will be all the old favorites backed by those charming fast stepping Apexites with Ernestine Porter tagging that line like nobody's business. Curtis Mosby and his Dixieland Blue Blowers, nationally recognized as the hottest musical aggregation on the Pacific Coast in support of this great show will feature special arrangements and needless to say their dance music for your pleasure will be superb. Be a first nighter and meet Ted Lewis, the guest of honor and enjoy a good show. Harlem Highlights (By the New Yorker for the A. N. P.) Jack Johnson attended the Kid Chocolate-Fernandez fight Wednesday night at Ebbets Field, but no cheers greeting the former champion as he calmly took his seat in a field box, far removed from the center of activities. * * * The Alhambra Chorus got a literal spanking after the first show Monday. They were so mixed up in their numbers, the dancer director wouldn't let them have the usual two hours off, he took them upstairs to the rehearsal hall and another two hours of sweating made them ready for the night shows. * * * * What noted dancer was a regular visitor to the Police Stations here in Harlem after taking some stiff trimmings from professional gamblers who eyed the huge rolls of bills he flashed during the evening? * * * * After big timing all over the Keith Circuit, Ethel Waters played the Lafayette here at 25, 35, and 50 cents, singing two songs and making as many appearances in two hours of a poor show. What school boy sports editor of a local rag asked his managing editor to help him with his algebra. And what local managing editor asked him if the algebra were "plain of solid...." * * * * To get a position on a certain local publication, one must hall from California, according to the complexion of the office. * * * * Edna Barn used to be cute, but she is now folowing the routine of the Hollywood diet, that "eighteen day" fad has just hit Harlem. She had better read it. * * * * Harlem's national anthem, according to a paraphrase of "Fats" Wallers latest, "I've Got a Feelin' I'm Fallin'". My Rent is high, and I've got a celling that's Falling." Sing it yourself. * * * * Annual invasion of school teachers on in Harlem. They are painting this town and riding high, wide and handsome. Recommended as unusual; the definition of society as printed on that page of a large local weekly—Seventh Avenue after dark—Lenox Avenue ditto—Lenox Avenue, any time from dawn to dawn—Alma Travis' dancing—Manda Randolph singing "He Burns Me Up and Knocks Me Cold"—the Y.

If "Vagabond Lover" isn't quieted over the radio sometime soon, Rudy Valleo is going to get an awful shock. Put Fess Williams beside Rudy Valleo and give each of them a saxophone. Our choice is the genial Fess. And we've heard both of them. A white orchestra played for a colored dance are in Harlem recently. The leader of the orchestra had a suspicious sound gnome—"Lack." I admit he lacked something. Others admitted as much.

Philadelphia, Pa., July 22.—In the death of the latte friend of the Frederick Douglas Memorial Hospital, and one who made frequent donations, the hospital is bequeathed the improved piece of real estate at 1808 Beveridge Street. The property was originally in the possession of Phillip Hinson, about fifty years ago, who at the time of his death, expressed the wish that it should become the property of the Douglas Hospital. Mrs. Hinson married Richard Allen, and upon her death it became Allen's. He is the last of the survivors, and so the property, now valued at about eight thousand dollars becomes the property of the Frederick Douglas Memorial Hospital. The hospital has been remembered in wills by both white and colored friends, the recent bequest of fifty thousand dollars of Miss Dobbins (am eminent white woman) being significant. A Camden, N. J., July 22.—An estate valued at $4,500 left by Mrs. Marie A. Holmes, 908 South 8th, is bequeathed in trust for her aged father, Ward Hughes, for his maintenance. Her will has been filed for proate. After stating that her brother shall rent the house in which she lived to provide funds for her father, the will provides that at the father's death the property becomes the brother's. Mrs. Holmes owned five building lots at Cheslhurst, and she bequeathed them as follows: One each to Rev. George Tonstall and Beatrice Nichols, and three to Rosanna Collins, a niece. She also bequeathed $100 each to Wesley A. M. E. Church, to Beatrice Nichols and to Rosanna Collins. A sister and friend, respectively, receive twenty-five and twenty dollars. She was quite thrifty and had at the time of her death sixteen shares of MacAndrews & Forbes Company's stock, these Mrs. Holmes willed to her brother.

P.) 19th St. on the East and 24th Stree Philadelphia, Pa, July 23—Quite some years ago Jacob Riis, a famous social worker, startled the world with his celebrated study, “How The Other Half Lives", showing the then sordid conditions under which thousands and thousands of human beings lived. What he pictured in one city could be duplicated in many others, and to- day were he to walk through Phi- ladelphia he would find leading off South Street,-the most important St in. Philadelphia's largest colored. sec- tion, many little narrow streets, vile, foul-smelling alleys, where, as one Te- port has stated it, “scores of thou- sands of Negro laborers are forced to live and pay high rents for this dub- ious ‘privilege’.” One has to walk only a few city blocks in order to find that the City of Brotherly Love is anything but a “city of homes”, as it is often etron- cously advertised. It may be | that housing | conditions will be somewhat improved by the erection of the large ‘number |of apartment houses now in ‘course of construction. What Various Surveys Show A recent limited survey made of a ‘certain section of the city by Mrs. ‘Emily C. P. Longstreth, chairman of recreational facilities for Negroes in ‘North Philadelphia, revealed some ‘startling facts. The section covered by this survey, it was pointed out, contained forty-eight (48) city blocks bounded by Girard College on ‘the South, Dauphin St. on the North, 19th St. on the East and 24th Street on the West. In 1916 there were only four small city streets in which colored people live, in small houses scattered through the district.) In 1929 the population has spread| to a much larger area, and now it is esti- mated. that. there are about | forty thousand Negroes living in North Philadelphia. | The Board of Education has rtport- ed that in the Negro group, ‘children from 6 to 16 years of age one-sixth of the population. . Estimated in, this way the approximate Negro. poptlatipn of the district is 55,020, and the approxi- mate Negro population of the entire city is 190,128 The survey shows that the majority of the men are em- ployed as common laborers, while the women are more or less employed as domestics. | How They Live | Numbers of these persons are forced to live in shacks because of the| very low wages received, and in some cases when a worker finds a good paying job, he cannot rent a home in.the bet- ter —neighborhoors. Segregation meets him at all times. Very often, because of low wages, housing | con- ditions are made worse, as_ these people must sublet their portions of sleeping space, and conditions| too shocking to deseribe are known to exist. The report of one social ser- vice worker states that in the work- ing class districts and particularly in the neighborhoods where the colored . people live, the places in which these individuals are forced to live “are no- thing more hovels of two and at most three stories in height.” How Can These Things Be “There are houses of assignation, speak-easies, poolrooms indecently run (often owned by white people), lot- tery. establishments (it being gener- ally known that many grammar school children, especially girls, play ‘the numbers’), and dice gambling on the streets.” A All of this shows the need of pro- per leisure time, supervised recreation activities; for, continues the report. the moving picture houses in the main show a poor type of picture and allow the young people to conduct them- selves improperly during the show, and have a low type of vaudeville. Children appear on the stage at one of the moving picture: theatres, on certain nights. 1 Trace Juvenile Delinquency to Poor Housing Because of the poor housing con- ditions, juvenile deliqueney flourishes, the report showing: that on February 1, 1929, there were 2. 347 children both white and colored on probation. Of this number 689 were célored. At the time the survey was mad@ it is said that there were 214 children (colored) and forty-eight dependént colored children on probation., making a total of 262. South Philadelphia} the neighbor- hood in the vicinity of Washingtor Avenue, is reported as having had the largest number of colored delinquent children, while North Philadelphia came second. One hundred fifty-six colored boys were in Glenn Mills (Reformatory) School. Rescue Work For Socially-Minded Women ‘Again the poor housing situation is severely scored and is held account- able for the moral laxity on the part of a large number of girls, especially ‘im the early teens. “Fhe report made by Mrs. Longstreth stating that “the Reynolds School (which is a graded school) averages from five to six un- married mothers every year.” Singer ly School, she adds, averages about one @ year. No adequate provision is made for the leisure time ui, the young colored people and Mrs. Emily Carmichael said she could do nothing towards helping in certain things, adding that they really were not giving recreation to the colored people. Mrs Carmich- ael, it might be added, heads the De- partment of Public Recreation. In fact, it has been repeatedly charged that several playgrounds and centers refuse absolutely to admit colored children, It was learned that as much as iif- teen dollars a week is paid for habit- ations which afford in many instances no lighting, little ventilation, no’ san- itary conveniences, no paper on the wall; often no privaie tuilet, no: tire escapes; in fact, nothing good in par- ticular; but the owners of these pro- ferties, representing Philadelphia’s leading ‘citizens, reap a great profit at the cost of the lives and very often the souls of poor unfortunates, who, because of their, color, are denied. de- | cent places in which to live Program for Little (By: ALN, P.)

On the other hand, Moore has been than active in the participation of the city government. For a number of years, there has been agitation in Harlem for traffic lights on Seventh Avenue and Lenox Avenue, the two outlets from Island of Manhattan to the Bronx. Automobiles make race- tracks of these thoroughfares and only at 135th Street and Seventh Avenue, 138th Street and Lenox Avenue are their traffic police controlling the long stretch from 125th Street to 155th St. on Seventh Avenue and 125th Street and 145th Street on Lenox. This de- plorable condition cost many lives and thousands of dollars in accidents, un- til Alderman Moore had traffic lights placed on Lenéx Avenue in his dist- rict, stopping them where his district ended at 135th Street and Lenox Ave. Alderman Hawkins has not seen fit to even ask for an extension of these lights in his distyct, even though his district hag a larder amber of colore- ed voters than Moore's.

This writer stood at the easler's desk in this establishment and saw three dining halls filled to the utmost with dinners and as many more people from all walks of life vied with each other for the privilege of dining in the Stephen's Dining Hall.

On further inquiry we were apprised of the fact that William Stephens, six years ago, totally without funds, borrowed $1000.00 to open a eating house just two blocks from his present site, and further, that his manner of service, efficient workmanship with his wares, he attracted the attention of people he knew and he steadily began to expand his business until it reached its present proportions, where he feeds in excess of 1600 persons daily.

This force under the leadership of Mr. Stephens, is thoroughly trained to care for the multitude of patrons, with no shouting of orders by captains of the watch or headwaters, the service goes forward as smoothly as the workers up the nearby Lake Merritt. Each worker is upon their honor, no jingling of keys, every compartment is free of access and Mr. Stephens takes pride in this feature of his establishment to the utmost. they met.

We thought each one would only be proud for the world to know that they were a part and parcel of its success, but to our surprise, a reflex pride was in evidence and they were not able to carry on from this angle.

Central Avenue --- Knightst and Daughters of Tabor Meet In Annual Session The Knights and Daughters of Tabor, International Order of Twelve California-Arizona Jurisdiction, assembled for their 15th annual session in the beautiful new A. M. E. Church in Phoenix, Arizona, Tuesday morning at 9:30, July 9th. The Session was called to order by the Chief Grand Mentor, Sir W. L. Martin, who, after due and formal opening, organized the Session with the appointment of the proper committees. The first order of business after the organization, was the reading of the annual report of the Chief Grand Mentor, Sir Martin. This report was a masterly effort. It covered the work of the Jurisdiction in fine fashion, and showed the remarkable growth of the order during the year. This report revealed the fact that there have come into the order during the year 834 new members; that more new bodies have been set to work than ever before in our history; that the various departments have met their bills promptly; that our finances are in fine shape; that the indebtedness on our property is being liquidated, and all obligations are being looked after. During the presentation of this very fine document Sir Martin, held the attention of the large delegation present. The long and enthusiastic applause that marked its close showed that all Taborians were with him and in sympathy with his program, in putting Tabor in the vanguard of fraternal organizations on the Pacific Coast. An item of particular interest was the presentation of a sum of three hundred dollars for extension work. This sum was raised directly through the efforts of the Chief Grand Mentor himself, and was placed at the disposal of the Chief, to be used by him as he sees fit, in the propagation of the work of the order. The report of the Grand High Priestess, Dtr. A. A. Knight, was next read. This report praised in the highest terms the work of the order as directed by the matchless skill of the Chief Grand Mentor, and reviewed the work of the Tabernacles during the year, revealing a fine growth in numbers and bodies, and the work done by the Grand High Priestess. After the reading of this report the Session was favored with a selection by Dtr. Pearl Lowery Winters, of Bakersfield who rendered in her usual delightful way, the beautiful number "Thinking." The report of the Grand Presiding Prince, Sir Warren Woods, showed three working Royal Houses with a combined membership of 135. The report of the Grand Queen Mother, Dtr. A. E. Bomar, who has charge of the Tents, showed growth and progress for the Juvenile Department of our order, with a total membership of 318. These reports showed the fine work done during the year by the heads of these departments. The report of the Chief Grand Scribe Sir S. M. Beane, showed a remarkable growth of the work of the order during the year. The report showed a gain of membership of over 500 for the year, with a total of 1400 members in the three major departments of the Order. The money reported on hand at the beginning of the session was $1472.43. The report also showed 10 Temples, 23 Tabernacles, 13 Tents and 3 Royal Houses, a total of 49 bodies. The Death Benefit Department Secretary, Sir T. B. Norman, reported for that Department, and showed that 27 deaths had been reported, all claims for them had been paid; that there had been collected during the year, $4000.00 and over; that claims to the amount of $3174.90 had been paid during the year, and that the department had a balance on hand of $4724.94. The Burial Fund Secretary, Dr. Eliza A. Warner, made her report. This report showed receipts for the year of $2684.96, with expenditures of $1217.85, leaving a balance in hand of $1490.11. The reports of the Treasurers, Sir G. S. Rodgers and Sir R. A. Johnson, verified the reports of the various secretaries, and showed the efficient way in which the money of the Order is being administered. The total amount of money in the various departments of the order amount to $7694.48. A welcome reception was held on Tuesday evening, July 9th, when representatives of the churches, N. A. A. C. P. Lodges, Citizens and the A. C. Taborians, made us welcome in their midst with delightful addresses. Suitable responses were made by the members of the order. Memorial Services were held on Wednesday evening, at the Baptist Church, when those who had served among us, but had gone on, were fittingly eulogized. The sermon was preached by Sir G. W. Mickens, Chief Grand Orator. One of the highlights of the Session was the visitation of the maids and pages of Amos Tent, together with their parents, under the direction of the Queen Mother Dtr. Hattie B. Smith. They rendered a delightful program of music and recitation, and song, much to the delight of the delegation present. The greatest event of the entire session came when on Wednesday night there was set to work Rose of Arizona Taharacle with 21 daughters, something that has never before happened in the history of our Jurisdiction. The Chief Grand Mentor opened the doors of the order at each public service and took in all the pastors of the city and many others. Too much cannot be said of the delightful hospitality of the good people of Phoenix, who opened their doors to receive us, and vied with one another in making our stay comfortable, and pleasant. They did everything that could be done for our comfort and enjoyment and the delegates are warm in their praise of the good people of this fast growing city of Salt Valley, Arizona. They even ordered a cooler brand of weather than is generally prevalent in this city at this session of the year. The enthusiasm of our Chief Grand Mentor is contagious, and Taborians are catching his spirit, and we predict that the year before us is to be the greatest year that we have experienced in the work of Tabor. Already new bodies have been set to work, since we closed our Session. Sir Martin has placed deputy Sir A. W. Pierce in the field and he is doing a tremendous work in broadening the boundaries of Tabor. We invite all to come in and assist us in this noble work. The election of officers resulted as follows: With the installation of these officers, there passes into history, the greatest and most harmonious session ever held during our long and honorable history; one that sent the delegates home determined as never before to do more for the advancement of the cause of Tabor, and the spreading abroad of its benign principles, established by Father Moses Dixon more than 56 years ago. In this work we invite all to join.

He used to take me on his knee. And queer old songs he sang to me. He sang about poor Uncle Ned. Not having hair upon his head. He told me of the big sea whales. And why the rabbits had short tails. And why bees' honey was so sweet. And why the duckies had web feet. He said he watched by light of moon. To trap the 'possum or the coon'. He brought them home and sold their hides And often ate their meet besides. Now in those days, the winsome girls. Wore trailing skirts and wigs of curls. Dad said they donned their Sunday best. With panteloons below the dress. He said the boys would often use Black polish on their feet for shoes And that some lads would even dare To put tacks in their teachers' chair He scarcely let me out of sight To romp with me was his delight And as I sprouted up he said He never, never let you wud With him, he took me everywhere, Met but he was happy pair: He said I had the same ways. But those, beware were by one days IVA O'BREED You can make wonderful "hot weather" Desserts...

Frank Hutchinson, 1099 Sixth St., Phone 27177. STATEMENT With much regret on the part of their many friends and members, Dr. Botts and his devoted wife left us on Monday at 6:30 P. M. How much we will miss them is yet to be told. We wish to say to the public that we have never had a pastor and wife who merited and won in so short time more love and respect. Dr. Botts has during his short stay through his gentle, Christ-like pastoral demeanor, stamped himself indelibly in the hearts of the members of his church. Some weeks ago due to his hearts of the members of his church. Some weeks ago due to his physical condition he offered his resignation. It was rejected by a vote of one hundred to four. He reluctantly promised to stay but finding his physical condition growing worse the doctor advised him to leave at once. So with sadness and much regret we had to consent for him to leave us. He has gone to Excelsior Springs where he and his wife will remain until his condition improves. We wish to thank our friends who assisted us in the grand collation tendered them Thursday, July 11 and those who aided in raising a purse of Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars which was presented him as a token of appreciation. Many members and friends accompanied them to the train carrying fruits, flowers and other tokens of love to cheer them on their journey. We are praying for them a safe arrival. May God bless him, keep him and restor his health and strength in his own time and way, is the prayer of the Church. Respectfully signed. Members of St. Paul Bapt.

Locally Significant "I believe this question has a tremendous significance for groups of people living in Hawaii. What does tolerance mean? What is the cost of it? Are we, in our tolerance, not destroying more than we are erecting? "Is there any way in which toleration may be the dilution in which cultures of old and new are merged thereby enriching the Anglo-Saxon traditions and making of America a new nation, with all the beauty, art, religion and science of the older nations, forming upon this new experience in democracy? "We must realize that toleration involves many social problems. It will do a great deal, but not all, to avoid war. It will make possible the development of a community like Honolulu in beauty, in co-operation, but it won't do very much more, if anything, because it is a negative virtue.

Negro Workers Gaining Recognition (By: A. N. P.) New York City, July 22.—At the University of Kentucky in Lexington, a large new building is being erected. White masons asked that an all white gang be used, but the contractor insisted on dividing the assignments among workers of both races.

Hair, I boarded the fine Chickasaw train of the Illinois Central line for St. Louis, Mo. The Illinois Central is noted for its well equipped and splendidly appointed coaches provided for its colored patrons in the South. The word "Jim Crow" cannot be deservedly applied to its separate coaches for colored people. We arrived in St. Louis Tuesday morning and spent a few minutes at the depot greeting Bishop Greene and the brethren from Arkansas and also the delegation from the Tennessee and East Tennessee Conferences.

We arrived in Denver Wednesday at 9 p. m., after being on the road two nights and two days and spanning a distance of sixteen hundred and eighty-five miles. Dr. Oliver and Lowe entertained in the beautiful and palatial threestory residence of Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell on Lafayette avenue. Their home is one among the many fine residences owned by our people in Denver. We were told that out of a colored population of ten thousand, fully seven thousand are either home owners or, are members of families that own their home. Isn't this fine and hopeful? The opening services of the Bishop's Council began at 10 a. m. Thursday, June 27th. Bishop John A. Gregg, the Council's Episcopal host, preached the opening sermon. The sermon was a masterpiece in thought, in eloquence in delivery and in spiritual power. Bishop Gregg easily takes his place among the great preachers of today. Dr. J. R. Ransom, the Western Sage and the greatest force in church and state politics in the West, preached the opening sermon for the Connec The subject matter of the sermon was well thought out, carefully arranged and delivered in the power of the Holy Spirit.

St. Louis, Mo., July 22.—One of the most ambitious plans of the Imperial Council, Ancient, Egyptian, Arabic Order Nobles of Mystic Shrine, when that body convenes in Chicago next month for its thirtieth annual convention will be a proposal of securing a National Shrine to care for old and indigent members of the order, and providing also for the feebled Daughters of Isis, woman's auxiliary, according to information in St. Louis. The idea of a home for decrepit members does not carry with it a plan to build or buy an institution, but to use some place already established, suitable for the purpose. It is understood that since the order has recently been relieved of a defense fund assessment, created 11 years ago to finance legal battles for its fraternal rights, the said funds will be diverted for the establishment of the National Shrine. This proposed movement explains a principle of general law set forth in the sweeping decision of the Shrine victory in the United States Supreme Court, last month. In awarding our citizens the relief sought, it was made apparent by the court that the imitative acts and practices of the Shrine order did not constitute a fraudulent deception injurious to the whitet order. On the contrary the evidence disclosed that our organization "has been in the nature of emulation rather than false pretense." The influence of the Imperial Council of Shriners will be asserted more strongly than ever at the Chicago convention. The decision of the court sets the Council apart as a sovereign body. With such substantial backgrounds the order of Mystic Shrine is safeguarded from interference on the part of any of the fraternal organizations. More than seventy-five thousand representatives of every branch of Freemasonry will assemble in Chicago, August 11 to 17 for their annual conclaves.

Jones of Calvary Baptist preached the sermon. The choir of his church rendered the musical selections. Many of the Bay District were in attendance. Union meetings are held monthly at the different churches of the District by the local ministerial alliances. SOCIAL AND OTHERWISE Mr. J. B. Maxwell, president of the Bay District Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., returned Sunday, July 21st from an extended trip East. He attended the Association's Convention at Cleveland, and also visited his old home. He states the convention was a great success although they did not have the same number of delegates present as at the last convention in Los Angeles. The A. C. E. League of the First A. M. E. Church gave an "all-maycome" weiner bake alair on the beach last 11 hursday night. The grown ups and the young people turned out about fifty strong the poor "dogs" didn't have a chance to squeak. Watermellon, lemonade and other delicacies helped make the "bake" a whooping success. Funeral services were held Monday July 22nd at 2 P. M. for Mrs. Anna L. Logan, wife of George E. Logan. She succumbed suddenly at her home Saturday morning after a lingering illness. Rites were held in the Memorial Chapel of Todd and Leslie. FORCEPS Superstition is the religion of the ignorant. It dates from the time of man's first fears. Yet the great show of learning in this day and age; there are those who still bow down to the God of the savage. What is love? The greatest philosophers of all ages have answered this question in a hundred different ways. There are so many variations of love that are so closely related; to give a definition of one phrase the answer must be able to cover them all. Yet, through-out the ages men have been able to answer "What is Love" even though words could not express it! FLYING We are living on the dawn of a new time. Men of all ages have longed to fly. Hundreds of attempts have been made. This century alone saw that thing accomplished, but not perfected. Man shall some day be able to control the forces acting upon his wings. The achievements of today are only a step. The failures are the results of imprefections. The bird is one of the highest forms of animal life. It took him centures to perfect his wings and body for flight. The first flying aeroplane is but a little over twenty-five years old. The great public interest and demand has grown faster than the knowledge and application of all the principles of flying-it like a baby trying to do a man size job! TRUTH—The truth of a statement is best proved by its action. From the very beginning men have always sought for the Truth. And after finding it, they were often afraid to reveal it. You are cordially invited to attend Hamilton M. E. Church, Corner 18th and Naomi, July 28. The sermon of the morning is to be delivered by Mrs. Linsay. The evening hour is devoted entirely to special music. RIVERSIDE NEWS By Mrs W. G. William Last Sunday, Presiding Elder J. W.
