WELCOME VOLUME 42 WE Grand United Order Of Odd Fellows Gather In Annual Session The incoming week brings in our midst the Annual Session of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows for California and Jurisdiction, at which time delegates from as far north as Portland, Oregon and all over California representing more than 5000 Odd Fellows and members of the Household of Ruth will gather in Annual Session to legislate and compare notes upon the progress of this great order. The General Committee has been at work for several months upon the plans for the entertainment of the session, and it goes without saying everything will begin to arrive. L. C. Cosey is the chairman of the general committee and is ably supported by a committee from each Lodge and Household in this city. Mr. Isaiah Robinson is the Grand Master and resides in Los Angeles. Rev. W. A. Magette, of San Jose is the Deputy Grand Master. Jacob Soares of Sacramento, Grand Secretary and A. B. Caviel of Vallejo is the Secretary and Treasurer of the Endowment Department. HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH Simultaneously with the meeting of the Grand Lodge, the Grand Household of Ruth will hold forth. This body is the women's auxiliary to the Odd Fellows and outnumbers the men numerically by far. Mrs. L. G. Eggleston of Los Angeles is the Executive head of this department and Mrs. Eliza Warner is the Secretary and Treasurer of the Peter Odenen Benefit Association. ODD FELLOWS' HOME The crowning glory of the combined Grand Bodies has been an acquisition of 110 acres o the rich soil of the San Joaquin Valley on which it is proposed to erect a magnificent Odd Fellows Home to care for the intelligent members of the two bodies. The home is and ever will be self-supporting. This feature alone has put the Odd Fellows many strides in advance of all other fraternal bodies for concrete and lasting accomplishment. Therefore the coming session is looked forward to with great acclaim and it is the consensus of opinion that the coming meeting will be one of great import for the future progress of the race and it will gather support and move forward as never before in its entire history. WEEK'S PROGRAM The vanguard of delegates have already arrived, others will arrive Saturday and Sunday morning. The session will open Monday at 10 A. M. at Odd Fellows Hall. 8th and Wall street. Monday evening will be the Public Reception at Wesley Chapel Church, Cor. 8th and San Julian. Mayor J. C. Porter will deliver the address of welcome.

The Chorus of 100 voices that was trained for the State-wide Contest will sing their contest numbers. Many noted artists will appear on program. A program of real merit will be presented for a worthy cause. At Jefferson High School, Monday, August 5th at 8 P. M. Admission only 50 cents. Eufala, Ala., July 31. (By A. N. P.) Guarded by more than two hundred armed soldiers, composing two units of the State Militia, Lester Bouyer was tried, convicted, and sentenced to die for the murder of Jack Hines, a white mechanic, here Wednesday. The proceedings, beginning from the time the special train which brought the prisoner and his military guard here for trial left Kilby Prison until the death sentence had been imposed and the date of execution set six hours and 10 minutes. Of this at August 23, consumed just about period only ten minutes were used in deliberation by the jury. The trial got under way promptly at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, when the court appointed E. W. Norton, a white attorney, to defend the prisoner. The council for the defendant waived a special venire and the trial jury was ordered selected from the regular venire of thirty-five men. LEAGAL DEFENSE LACKING While Bouyer was accorded ample military protection, the legal defense was missing. He entered a plea of guilty and the state placed three witnesses upon the stand, one of whom was the young white woman who accompanied Hines on the night of the killing. This young woman with a (Turn to Page Four Please) Clubwomen Meet At Fresno (By MARY E. REED. Fresno from July 23rd to 26th was alive with clubwomen from the different sections of the state, who had assembled to do business for the betterment of humanity, and for the joy of contacting and knowing one another better. Each day was made interesting by an excellent program. Reports of departments, inspiring papers, and beautiful music. Some interesting papers were "The Making of a Race," by Mrs. Maude Hinds, of Fresno; "Fallacies of Birth Control" by Mrs. Ernestine T. Greenly, Superintendent of Education and Literature Los Angeles. Round Table Talk—The Home—What is it?" (a) A Business Enterprise, (b) a school of Economics (c) Savings Bank Industrial Institution" led by Mrs. Ada Irby, Superintendent of Mothers Work, of Pasadena. Mrs. Vivian O. Marsh, of Oakland, reported from the Better Homes Week which she attended, representing the State President, Mrs. Ether Jones Lee—"The Spirit was most cordial, and was a clear demonstration of what an interracial committee can accomplish. Better Homes is a part of our National Platform and this year by the effort of Mrs. Lee and Marsh it became an active part of our state body. Among the books accepted and placed on display in the Public Libraries during the week, from suggestion by Mrs. March were Washington's "Up from Slavory." Motin's "Finding a Way Out," "What the Negro Thinka," White's "Fire in the Flint," Johnson's "God's Trombones," poems of Dunbar, Georgia D. Johnson, T. J. Flannagin and Woodson and Brawley's "Negro Histories." The Juvenile Department reported by the Superintendent of Juvenile Work, Mrs. Nettle B. Reese, was most interesting. She stressed that early recognition and early treatment of maljustment in children by parents, teachers and Welfare Workers and it is then up to the local community and the state to work out a plan to insure the treatment of such children. "Problems of delinquency will only be solved when we as parents, Welfare Workers, and club women carefully note and consider the kinds of activities each child engages in when he is free to choose for himself those activities."

Dear Sir: Please be kind enough to publish my comment on a Municipal Plunge Problem. "In Boyle, heights of Los Angeles there is a Municipal Plunge for the use of the public. On Mondays it is reserved for colored people. On all other days it is for the use of people of other races. This plunge is situated in a district where colored people are the larger part of the populace. The designation of one day a week for colored people is not proportionate to their number in Boyle Heights. This is unfair. The use of the City's playground facilities by all of the people without regard to race presents a problem of considerable intracacy. It should be worked on with the thought in mind that the colored people who are put on a bathing schedule, are taxpayers more so than many alien races that inhabit Boyle Heights. Are Japanese, Mexicans, and Filipinos, or what have you colored, segregated from the colored people, segregated from the white race, and the colored people segregated from the two classes? No, the segregation of scheduling of colored people is the exponent of class hatred. The use of the City's playground facilities by all of the races can be managed with better results for all if the class hatred and intolerance are not a part of the manager's oath of office. The segregation of people is the weapon of the more powerful race to prevent social contact. A weapon of this kind is being used ruthlessly by present city authorities, who while under oath to administer the city's business, honestly and faithfully, are with no little bitterness of heart allowing their personal feeling toward colored people, to influence their action in discharging their official duty. The disregard of the rights of other by public officials, their evasion of the lays they swore to uphold and contempt for the unfortunate victim of race intolerance, are incentives for those whom they would govern to hold both the officials and his every act in contempt. This disregard is a source of unrest, discontent, unhappiness among colored people. Disregard for the rights of others is the action of a diseased and disordered mind. Only a coward would remain in office to discharge an official duty with the conviction that he must be unfair to a group on account of the previous conditions of race or the color of his skin. The taxation without representation that lighted the fires for Liberty and Freedom in these United States is tyranny today as it was then and ever shall be. The solution of the city's one big nasty problem calls for a feebler, righteous, learned man who is willing to challenge the poisonous monster who would direct his thought and action in the discharge of his sworn duty. Our present leader of Los Angeles is new in office. Give him time. Give him Wisdom. Give him Grace. God grant him success. In the mean time let not your wisdom dull nor your watching and united action cease, with the end in view that we shall have full use of what we buy and pay for." Thanking you for your kind at tention, Very sincerely, A.

Grand Lodge Knights Of Pythias and Court Of Calanthe In Annual Session, Sacremento, California. The grand sessions of the Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe met in the City of Sacramento July 21-25. J. Allen Reese Grand Chancellor and Mrs. A. E. Walker Grand Worthy Councilor had planned their meetings well and every thing moved in business-like procedure. The local committee headed by Rev. T. Allen Harvey and Dr. William E. Richardson had made elaborate arrangements for the entertainment of the Grand representatives. Private homes were opened for entertainment and a number of hotels were at the disposal of the visitors. The sessions of the Grand Lodge and the Grand Court were held in beautiful Civic Auditorium. The public reception of Monday and Tuesday evenings were held in this building. ```markdown ``` Lloyd Vernon Gray well known figure throughout the country and especially so in the Northwest and on the West Coast, according to reports at our hard passed away in New York City.

The sermon was preached by the Grand Prelate T. Allen Harvey. Monday's sessions were given over to the Grand Chancellor's address, the executive session of the Endowment Board and the conferring of the Past Chancellor's degree. During the evening the local lodge presented a splendid program of literary and musical numbers. Addresses of welcome were made, among them being the address of Hon. Martin I. Welsh, Mayor of the City. It was a frank open discussion of interracial matters and was enthusiastically received since the attitude of the citizens of Sacramento verified all his Honor claimed. The Grand Chancellor's address was filled with helpful information, interesting statistics and contained far seeing, recommendations which were referred to the appropriate committee. The several reports of officers and committees showed that the affairs of the fraternity are conducted in a business-like way and that its finances are being conducted on a sound (Continued on Page Four ) That man "Lowe" erstwhile Publicity Agent who came to Los Angeles in quest of a bunch of suckers and who soon found himself all messed up has vanished like thin air. As he did no officers of the law appeared upon the scene with warrants for various and kindred crimes which he is charged with committing in various sections of the country. One was for disposing of an automobile in Denver without the formality of paying for the same. However, before he left, he got into an alteration on Central Avenue near 37th Street and got beaten up. Thus closes a chapter of the doings of this super Publicity man who came West, not to "grow up with the country," but in quest of suckers which he never found. But he was on his way when he himself was found out. KILLS HUSBAND; GOES FREE! Sunday, July 28, Stanley Iowa, who resides with his wife at 3614 McKinley avenue, answered the last roll call. It is alledged that Iowa, after a drunk vacation, returned to his home late Sunday afternoon, and demanded, according to habit more money than the woman had, an alteration was the result, and when Mrs. Iowa refused to do the bidding of her deprived (by drink) husband he attacked her with a floor lamp. Mrs. Nadie Iowa having stood these attacks to a point beyond human endurance, found it necessary to fight for her life. Shots were fired. Stanley Iowa was hit twice in the head and Mrs. Iowa, who awaited the coming of the police was placed under arrest. Tuesday afternoon at the Coroner's jury hearing, Mrs. Iowa who had been charged with the killing of her husband was given a verdict of justifiable homicide—and the much abused wife started again down life's lane; it is hoped by those who look on, with a new vision. Stanley Iowa was a native of Oklahoma, and 25 years of age. While some message from his mother is awaited, the body rests in the parlor at the Angelus Funeral Home where great crowds look on from time to time. The funeral service is being arranged for Saturday with the interment at Evergreen Cemetery. Doomed Man Snatched From Death Memphis, Tennessee, Aug. 1.—With all arrangements completed for his execution Monday morning, Lewis Bell sentenced to die for attacking a white woman, was literally snatched from the jaws of death when Chief Justice Green of the State Supreme Court granted the doomed man a stay of execution until after the September term of court when a motion for a new trial will be filed. The motion will be made upon the grounds that the court in which Bell was tried and convicted was illegally chosen, due to the fact that court was not legally organized. The stay of execution was Granted Saturday after the chief justice had conferred with Governor Horton who had previously refused to interfere with the sentence. This in the second reprieve that Bell has received since he was convicted and sentenced several months ago. He was convicted of attacking a young white woman on Poular Arizona.

THE GIRL who carms her own living because her self-respect demands that she should makes a far better wife and mother than the clinging vine type whose only homely virtue is her ability to win the attention of men. AGRICULTURE—The necessity for the Negro farmer to become organized is emphasized by the fact as The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph states, that the new farm board "Is not authorized to deal with individuals; it is authorized to deal only with corporations. It will aid legitimately farm organizations of all sorts, but it cannot, of course, reach the individual farmer unless he is a member of an organization." NEGROES WILL have to organize in all business effort or they will automatically fall in line as consumers and not producers. BUSINESS—The tenth annual convention of the National Association of Negro Tailors, Dressmakers and Designers will meet in Philadelphia beginning Thursday night, August 1st. The convention will be addressed by James A. Jackson, Business Specialist of the United States Department of Commerce. An elaborate fashion show will also be a feature of the convention. THE TWELFTH annual session of the Association of Colored Railway Trainmen met in Knoxville, Tenn., beginning Monday, July 15th. Commenting, the East Tennessee News says: "Colored men who are employed as brakemen, switchmen, firemen, and in other capacities on railroads throughout our Southland are the guests of our citizenship in their twelfth annual session this week. It is well that those men should organize and it is to the interests of all employees that they belong to the organization. The employer will get better service with employees working under this association, they will find it easier to render the very best service." NEGRO TAXICAB companies report continued progress. The Rite Rate Taxicab company operating in New York City employees 140 men and has 51 taxicabs. The City Cab Co. of Detroit employs more than 200 men and women, and operates 156 cabs. WE ACKNOWLEDGE with pride sheet from The Oakland Tribune containing the column headed: "Activities Among Negroes" edited by Delilah L. Beasley, author of "The Trail Blazer." IN THIS column we read many things of interest which are truly worth while activities among Negroes; and we do not hesitate to congratulate Miss Beasley for her noble effort to gain greater consideration in all walks, for members of her group, through this medium, in her section of the state. MRS. EMMA V. HARRIS, of Providence, R. I., who with her husband is engaged in Welfare Work in her home city, has been visiting Los Angeles for the past three weeks and making a survey of business activities among Negroes. Mrs. Harris was indeed favourably with the outlook for the Golden State Guarantee Insurance Company; The Liberty Building and Loan; The Unity Finance; Curtis Mosby, and the Hudson-Liddell building. MINDING MY BUSINESS I am just an humble dweller, Trying hard to get along. The I have my tribalities, Life to me is like a song. What's the use to pine and weary, Happiness was meant for all; The for us to solve our problems; The for us to rise or fall. We must all live here together, What's the use to hold a grudge? When we criticize our neighbor Are we not unit to judge? Oh, it keeps me off duty Just to mind my own affairs. And would make me dearly hate If some people would mind them. pas a eT.)

It's about time some of our boys were, aerially speaking, making tools or heroes of themselves. We met Johnnie Johnson, politician, Ford Salesman and clubman. Johnnie was up in the air all night but the strange thing of it was that his feet were on the ground. He's cooled off now since his lady friend has returned to the city from her vacation. --- Well, after much talk and gossip concerning the future activities of the famous Lafayette Players we see they are again in action. This time in the remodeled Walker Theater, now called the Orange Grove. Many things have no doubt contributed to the change. Personally we had hoped that this wonderful company which had blazed the way for colored actors to a higher plane of acting would themselves be able to keep aloft and not be forced to descend to the Octavus Roy Cohn type of plays that for years have been the center of of public criticism because of unfavorable position the writer has placed the group in by the method he used. Most folks have been looking upon the move to Orange Grove as elevating. We don't agree. We think it a shame and a disgrace that this splendid cast of actors should through lack of patronage at the Lincoln Theater be forced to dispense with their high type plays and dob themselves with lamp black to fill rolls which, believe it or not, have an effect to disqualify the Negro's intellect. Let's wake up and support our pioneer actors so they won't have to descend to the level of Octavus Roy Cohn's writings. It's a cinch they are not in love with it, and if they are it might be well to have them examined. However, they THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1929 have to make a living and acting is their business and since we won't support higher type acting, why there is, we presume, nothing else for them to do until we wake up and learn how to patronize the box office when Madam X and other plays are advertised. We went over to Pasadena last Tuesday night and saw something unusual. We, along with a party of six others, called on some friends who are employed by a very wealthy white woman, an old maid. And there she had 18 colored employed. The help was like one family and their home life and surroundings were beautiful under the circumstances. Housekeeper, maids, kitchen mechanics, chauffeurs, butlers and whatnot, all educated in their given line as well as otherwise, some married and their children going to school but all living amid beautiful surroundings, in especially prepared living quarters furnished jam-up. That was a sight and a pleasant one to see 18 colored employees trained to get along, each with decent working hours, employed by a woman who understands human beings and gives each a chance to live and enjoy life as they work. They have every want and care attended to from a special cook to a family physician and yearly vacation. We are indebted to our old, reliable friend, Mr. Geo. Nemo and wife. Thank you both.

Dear Editors: We enclose the circular letter of our Guardian Perpetuation Committee of Citizens recently organized locally, also the spontaneous heart outpouring of Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter as he saw odds facing him for the life of the organ to which he has been so devoted as a factor in his life-work against color caste. Will you be one of our national perpetuation Auxiliary to seek a fund of consequence and meantime give such publication as is calculated to bring concrete results and soon, so Trotter can fight on. Yours to lengthen the service of an unselfish life by means to fight on for our rights. J ALBERT STERRETT, Secy. This is August, mio-summer. If ever our editor is made to take account of stock on his race work and powder whether his necessitated sacrifices for the honor and civil position of Colored Americans are worth the strain, it is in August. For in August, and approaching and leaving it, business and income drop for a weekly paper, especially for a race organ for rights, which, as such, has no surplus of employees or funds. Local entertainments decrease about to zero, buyers leave their homes for summer resorts. In consequence business advertisers take on no new advertisements and even news is less lively or crucial. For nearly 28 years our editor has waged a campaign of propaganda and racial organization against American color prejudice, persecution and prescription. The Guardian was not begun for business gain, nor has it ever been maintained for it. Furthermore, just as an organ without agitation and organization efforts by its editor, the Guardian would not be the Guardian at all. For it has the earnest, throbbing purpose of keeping up opposition to the rising tide of race prejudice, persecution and prescription and mere propaganda has too little effect. The Guardian is a race work for liberty and equality for Americans, of color, and includes the purpose and activity of its editor for equality and against color exclusion and caste. For these well nigh 28 years our editor has met the era-recurring losses of the Guardian. They have been heavy. His late mother and her estate aided. Some half-dozen times nation-wide efforts were launched, netting not over five hundred dollars, each deeply appreciated, none approaching the losses made up by Editor Trotter, whose heartfelt desire has been to have his voluntary effort for his race to become a work of co-operation by his race, not as to the hard work, but as to many assisting in the cost in a small way. With all the editor's personal means and borrowing means exhausted, and the hard necessity of making up the cost charges weekly or suspending. William Monroe Trotter appealed to local comrades who had seen his daily life and efforts at close hand, to share in the expenses beyond what the business produced. Enough of them responded to save the organ and give it a new chance. In order to do something lasting for the race, a Guardian Perpetuation Committee of Citizens was organized, Rev. Benj. W. Swain in president, Rev. D. S. Klugh, vice-president, Rev J. A. Sterrett (15 Albermarle Street), secretary, Oscar Fitzallen, treasurer, J. S. R. Bourne, chairman of executive committee. The whole committee had the Guardian's books examined and found that, owing in part to the unsalaried work and time given by Editor Trotter to race agitation and protection work, the paper had never paid its expenses, and deficits had been met entertainments and by borrowing, etc. This is surely a representative committee, at our editor's home, with access to Guardian office, an auditor for the books, in fact knows all details intimately. Nothing more could be done to establish the facts and inspire confidence. Hence all who read this appeal and are willing to aid a race man who has given his all to maintain for his race a paper, non-paying though it has been, as a pure, steady, honest, courageous advocate of equality, can feel free to donate to the Guardian Perpetuation Fund. Help is needed at once, to enable an equal rights campaigner to fight on. That's all just a chance for continued devotion to the work. Incidentally, all who owe can relieve the situation and strain especially, now is the chance for subscribers. If all pay, all send in now, who intend to pay, the Guardian will be saved now, and the fund would last the longer. Our own appeal is first to subscribers and other patrons who owe and don't intend to defraud for the issues they have the benefit of. With zeal unbated, mind clear, heart loyal and strength and health only reduced by the sarcan of financial worry, our editor now appeals to his race he has lived for and worked for.

Unanimously chosen by his fellow members, Judge Harlan G. Palmer was elected president of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners at the organization meeting provided by the Charter for the last week in July. Dr. John R. Haynes was elected vice-president to succeed Senator R. F. del Valle, whose place on the board is filled by Judge Palmer. The first problem to be attacked by the newly organized board was the long standing issue arising out of the land purchases in Owens Valley. General Manager H. A. Van Norman, prior to submission to Owens Valley town representatives on August 3 of a detailed appraisal of all town properties in the Owens Valley, is this week going over the details of this appraisal with members of the Board. The principal questions are, first, whether or not the city of Los Angeles will seek to purchase immediately all the real property in the five Owens Valley towns and second, if it is decided to make these purchases, on what basis shall they be worked out. Members of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners have pointed out the fact that it is necessary to purchase the towns in the Valley in order to gain satisfactory control of all the water resources in the valley and to have absolute sanitary control of that district. If the properties in the five towns are purchased by the City of Los An- GET YOUR TICKETS FOR THE Championship BASE-BALL GAME geles, disputes which have arisen in the past between property owners and the city would be ended for all time, it is hoped. The purchase plan of the Department of Water and Power does not call for actual possession of the business properties in the towns. In many instances, it is expected, these properties would be leased back to the owner-occupants. G. U. O. OF O.

Batterson spoke of the advantages of Education, and voiced their support of the Livingston College drive for quarter million dollars now carried forward President W. J. Trumbull of the Bishops, Trustees and leaders of the church. Mayor Batterson said: "Education will give the only liberty than that guaranteed by the Constitution, which is economic independence." Governor Trumbull said: "You should look to it that every child have a better opportunity for a good education than was had by his or her parents." He said he had always believed in supporting the schools and had for a long time aided with his wife certain southern schools for colored people. He subscribed a hundred dollars to Livingston College and the [Picture of a man with a mustache and a goatee, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt.

"My dear Bishop": ernor Graves ordered two units of the State Militia to accompany the prisoner and a crack company of the state troops along with twenty-five members of the law enforcement force was dispatched to this town a day before the trial.

It is my sincere hope that the drive for the Price Memorial Building at Livingston College will meet with success, and it is with pleasure that I enclose my check for $100.00 toward this worthy plan. The council moved to complete raising the balance of the fund in a drive to end January first to meet the new time condition extended by foundations contributing to it. The amount to be raised still is Sixty-two thousand. A resolution passed calling on President Hoover to have the suffrage and citizens' amendments enforced with the eighteenth Prohibition amendment. A campaign for fifty thousand souls by Easter and a revival of interest in all Kingdom causes, and an effort to collect fifty thousand dollars on the benevolent budget was launched. Bishop F. M. Jacobs was elected President of the Board of Bishops for the ensuing six months. Addresses were made by Bishop L. W. Kyles, E. D. Jones, George C. Clement, B. G. Shaw, Dr. W. J. Trent, Stephen G. Spottswood and J. W. Eichelberger. Bishop Jacobs preached 'Sunday morning and Dr. Carrington at night.' RELIGIOUS FORCES AT WORK The annual State Convention of the Southern California Council of Religious Education, usually referred to as the State Sunday School Convention, will be held in Long Beach on October 22 to 24. From the preliminary announcement just made public by Dr. William C. Pearce, General Secretary of the Council, the program will be one of unusual merit and interest. Two officials of the International Council of Religious Education will be present; Dr. Paul H. Vieth, Superintendent of Educational Administration and Director of Research, and Dr. Percy R. Hayward, Director of Young People's Work. The program is arranged in two main divisions. There will be a series of conferences, which will discuss the various phases of the educational program of the local Church; and there will also be five general sessions, in which the strongest possible program will be presented. Long Beach churches, civic organizations and the Chamber of Commerce are uniting to make this convention a huge success. The office of the Southern California Council of Religious Education is bending every effort toward building a strongly helpful program, and in securing the attendance of representative workers from all of the denominations in Southern California. It is of interest to note that nineteen different denominations are cooperating in the work of this Council, and these and many more groups will participate in the Long Beach Convention. The convention Theme is announced as Like-More Abundant", and the entire convention program, especially the general sessions, will be built around the discussion of different aspects of this theme.

ALABAMA SLAYER Continued from Page One shoulder in bandages binding wounds resulting from being struck by some of the shots which snuffed out the life of her companion, told of how Bouyer had demanded money from Hines and while the white man pleaded with him to spare his life, Bouyer killed him. After skying away she testified that the shot attacked her. On his count, however, Bouyer was not tried. It was not necessary since he had only one life to give to the State. The case was turned over to the jury at 10:40 A. M., and in ten minutes the jury returned the verdict of guilty and ten minutes later. Bouyer was on his way back to Kilby Prison on his closely guarded train. SOLDIERS CALM IRE OF CITIZENS Not since the days of the mustering the National Army during the Great World War, has such a train arrived in this town as that which brought Bouyer for trial. Fearing that a lynching might be attempted Gov- ernor Graves ordered two units of the State Militia to accompany the prisoner and a crack company of the state troops along with twenty-five members of the law enforcement force was dispatched to this town a day before the trial. Despite the presence of the state officers, there was talk of lynching Tuesday night. When the train bearing the prisoner arrived, however, and the appearance of an additional two hundred soldiers armed with rifles, with bayonets fixed, the potential lynchers quitted down and everything was serene. The train filled up at the train and with Boyer in the center marched to the local courthouse, where a crowd of some three thousand whites milled about the building. Immediately upon the arrival at the courthouse the announcement was made that the courtroom was open to the public. The troopers had things in hand so there was nothing to fear from the mobbist. In the courtroom twenty five troopers acted as a vigilant committee and in turn were watched with more interest then the slayer on trial. On the outside, the remainder of the military guard patrolled the assigned posts, but not once did they have the occasion to accost anyone. PROVES LYNCHING CAN BE AVOIDED Governor Graves was proved to the world that lynching can be avoided. When the murder was reported he stated at that time that there would be no lynching and there was not. He placed the state militia at the disposal of the law enforcement officers and the prisoner was amply protected. The manner in which the trial was conducted has been praised and ensured. The governor accorded proper military protection from the time of the arrest until the prisoner was returned to the state prison. During the trial, however, many crief officers were due to the fact that the defendant had pleaded guilty. "A legal lynching" was the phrase used by many, but there was no illegal lynching and a step forward has been made.

LOYD VERNON GRAY PASSES (Continued from Page One) died in New York City, Sunday evening. He was born in Topeka and resided here until he moved to New York about 10 years ago. He formerly operated a cleaning establishment in Topeka. He is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Minnie Sanders and Mrs. Belle Dillard, Topeka, and Mrs. Emma Ford, Bonner Springs. The old timers remember L. Vernon Gray. He was one of Topeka's bright and energetic young men, always promoting some enterprise of a theatrical nature. He was one of the best dressed men in Topeka, at one time he always kept up with the latest style and fashions. He organized the first voter's club among the colored young men in Topeka. They wore silk plug hats and swallow tail coats. His father, the late Louis Gray was a stone mason and contractor who lived on Monroe Street in the 1300 block. Vernon was a man who never worried, was always pleasant with smiles. His body may be brought to Topeka for burial." In the passing of "Vernon Gray there are those who remember and appreciate him for his many sterling qualities. He was known far and near SAVING SAM'S SHOE AND KEY SHOP We make all kinds of number.

L. 814 Manzanita Street, Pasadena, California FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1929 for his charity and benefactions. No man ever added to him for assistance in vain. It was his delight to help and assist. When the great west was in its bloom Vernon Gray migrated from Kansas to Montana where he, made money, virtually by the barrel and in his prosperity, he was never known to forget a friend. His attitude was, I am here doing fine, I want my friends to come here and do likewise. This writer happened to be one of his friends, he wired us several tickets to come to the far west and partake of the prosperity which he was enjoying and finally in 1905 we left Topeka and joined Vernon in Helena Montana, where for several years we enjoyed the fullest prosperity which was made possible at the ernest solicitation of Vernon Gray in his desire to favor a friend. It was here that we established the "Montana Plaindealer" and when we gained a standing in political endeavor second to none, and not only ourselves but many others that Gray helped them on their way. As for himself he conducted a legitimate business which, netted him hundreds of dollars per day, as all persons who remember the famous "Zanzibas Saloon" will testify. His connections were such that he could command support for our effort in journalism to be a success from the start and as a consequence we conducted in Helena the only republican weekly, and carried in its columns the advertisements of practically every business house in the city. Compliation finally arose and out of business jealousies, the rising career of Gray was halted, he saved out of his holdings and moved to San Francisco, where he made an effort to transact business, but failing to reach the heights to which he aspired, he chose to again go Eastward and for the last decade has been conducting very successfully we understand an advertising agency in New York City and Washington, D. C. We last saw him in 1920 when on a visit to New York his business was in the making. After which times we have been in receipt of many of the high class productions along the advertising line which was a result of his genius. We join with his family and legion of friends in their sorrow and the loss of our life long and personal friend Lloyd Vernon Gray. "Peace to his Ashes."

The millions are in gold, the hundred thousands in silver. It is in the safest place in the world—so safe, alas, that not even you can probably ever obtain it. But it is yours, nevertheless, your heritage from all time, and a part of your immutable birthright. Yet do not boast. You are still no better off than your neighbors. Each one of them, man, woman and child, has a like amount in keeping. The treasure house is in the sea, that old mother of mystery. The gold and silver held in suspension in its waters provide $27,000,000 in gold for every human inhabitant of the earth, and $350,000 in silver. This estimate is made by a man of science, Prof. A. Berget of France. He has some other interesting things to disclose, as well. The salt in the sea, for instance, if spread out evenly over the entire surface of the globe would cover it 150 feet deep. Thus all buildings under 15 stories high would be buried. The continent of Europe could be made three times over out of salt, with its Balkin, Pyrenees and Alps mountain ranges. Most of us will fear that salt would have lost its savor in such a deluge. The gold and silver, too, wouldn't be of much avail if everyone were equally supplied. But if the thought of your share of riches which time has stored in the high seas, the aquatic No Man's region, gives you joy, then indulge it to the full. But don't let the wealth go to your head. And remember that although the riches of its faithful bounty to your industry "Whatever you sow you will also reap" might come with telling force in the natural order of things for the some of the members of the Los Angeles Police force. Therefore sow the winds you reap the whirlwind. SPEAKING FOR JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY The new Police Commission should delve deep and well. It has a great opportunity to demonstrate along all the lines of justice and a square deal. It has within its grasp to see that the Police force functions for all people alike and we have an abiding faith it will do so. When we write the above lines we have in mind the pernicious practise of the force which permits the official to drink and accept pay to allow the law to be broken, and as a shield to them in activity will start out raiding the city, but invariably ending up their raids with 95 per cent of arrests from the black belt of this city solely because, it is the easiest and handiest way to make a showing on the books. This sort of practise can be and we hope will be forever discarded by our new police commission. We further hope under the new order of things all police officers who have proven their worth and are entitled to consideration along the line of promotion, will receive it regardless of the past of race, religion or creed. We are very much interested in the rights of citizenship and think this is one of them. INVEST IN LOS ANGELES Get rich quick schemes are needed affairs. There is legitimate of other character.

There is legitimate oil stock just as there is legitimate stock of other character. A man who is supposed to have more than ordinary ability, one who has been successful in life, will often laugh at those who invest a few hundred dollars in some wild cat oil stock game, and just because a slick tongued salesman comes along with a proposition offering something just as wild but with a strictly good name, the man who dodges the oil stock falls for the other. It just goes to prove that Barnum was right. The American people like to be fooled, and one lesson is rarely sufficient. There are laws to protect the public from illegitimate securities but there is no law to prevent an enterprise selling stock in a company which is unlikely to succeed. A good salesman, one who can picture that legitimate enterprise as possessed of qualities which preclude every possibility of failure, proves too much for the investor, and away goes the money. There is no law against the ability to paint investments by well worded speeches in glowing colors. There are few cities where there are not opportunities over at hand for the investor, opportunities where there is far less uncertainty than those offered in other places. When these opportunities loom so large that they may compare with the description of the investment offered by the salesman from another city, there is in nine hundred and ninety instances out of a thousand, that there are local investors who are ready and willing to finance it. Opportunities that are strictly gilt edge rarely have to be peddled. Where there is a chance element, of course, the wary beware, and then it is that capital must be found among those who are not looking for a gamble when an invsetment is to be made. With so many investments in Los Angeles, or at least with the opportunity for such great investments, it is passing strange that there are not more of the maken advantage of. Surely it is not necessary to go to look for investors and say to them that Los Angeles needs capital and ability to take care of its real needs. Why not a little more recognition by the people of the city of the opportunities, and instead of sending money away to develop other cities, keep it at home. THESE CHANGING TIMES Many tears are being shed the passing of ancient landmark stitutions The tears and lament crease, and in this progressive era Kansas misses her horse rai Many tears are being shed and many lamentations are heard for the passing of ancient landmarks, cherished traditions and national institutions The tears and lamentations increase as the "departures" increase, and in this progressive era the "departures" are many. Kansas misses her horse rails and posts. Several states have bidden fond farewells to canals and canal inns, which have been abandoned because of the inability of the waterways to compete with the railroads. Mountainous states regret the forcing of the old watering trough off the roads by the automobile and improved highways. And virtually everywhere the barber pole is passing into oblivion. Traffic conditions, city planning commissions and different business conditions are combining to persuade more and more barbers to "take in" the sign of their trade. In some towns and cities none survive the onslaughts of progress and modernity. Barbering flourished as a business in Biblical times. Ezekiel mentions this craftsman in the Old Testament. A barber was one of the central figures in an Italian novel written by Alessandro Manzoni in the half of the nineteenth century, the plot of which was suggested by an historical incident which occurred in 1630 and which involved a Milan barber. The barber pole with its stick-candy effect once advertised the fact that the barber within not only shaved beards and trimmed hair but "let blood" for the ill and extracted teeth on occasion. The ball which has long surmounted the barber pole superseded several decades back a copper basin with a tap on one side which represented a similar instrument that was placed around the customer's neck to protect his clothing from the lather and clipped hair.

RUTH J TEMPLER Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics [NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J Temple, 803 E. 82nl St., Phone, IU 1419 or VA. VA. 1221.1] WHAT PRICE MOTHERHOOD! (Conf'd. from our last Issue) CAN THE "SORROW" OF MOTHERHOOD BE LESSENED? In order to remedy any evil condition, a thorough understanding must be had of that condition and an intelligent acquaintance with the factors which cause its existence must be obtained. In our last issue we stated the facts that 125,000 mothers and 100,000 babies die each year in the United States alone from the effects of child birth; and that out of every 200 women who become pregnant that one dies before the process is completed. These are the ugly facts. Humanity is the same the world over. It hates to face facts. But as we previously stated, we can get nowhere in offering a solution unless we are thoroughly familiar with the condition. Now, what is the remedy? How can the annual death rate in maternity cases be cut down from the formidable number of 25,000 mothers and 100,000 babies? First of all prospective mothers and prospective fathers too, must understand that the dangers of pregnancy begin when pregnancy begins and not almost nine months later. In other words, the dangers which attend pregnancy begin not at the time of confinement or labor but at the very earliest beginning of the pregnancy. The Grave Necessity for Early Prematal Care The care of the mother before the baby comes is spoken of as "prenatal" care. How early should prenatal care begin?

If she is certain that she is pregnant she should place herself under the care of competent physicians at once for prenatal care. If she thinks she is pregnant but is in doubt, she should go at once to a competent doctor and be examined to determine if possible whether she is or is not pregnant. Having positively established the fact that she is pregnant she should remain under the care of the doctor throughout the entire pregnancy and labor. A vast number of the mothers and babies who die each year could be saved if this simple rule were followed. I have young mothers who come to me as early as the 6th week of pregnancy. So early that it is difficult to determine whether or not a pregnancy exists. I examine them thoroughly, watch the case carefully. If I determine that a pregnancy is present, I begin my prenatal care at once. And I seriously believe that this is one of the reasons that my mothers have such unusually fine and beautiful babies. Cost of Nine Month's Care Same As For Labor Some persons delay calling in a doctor early or fail to place themselves under a doctor for prenatal care because they think it will mean more expense. But that is wrong, it will not cost you one penny more to have care throughout your pregnancy than it will to call a doctor in at the last minute for the delivery. Fathers and mothers all want fine, healthy babies. All husbands want their wives to "come through" their pregnancy and labor well. Let them remember that "a thing well begun is half done" and in the first early weeks, while baby is beginning its life, give it the best medical care available and insure as far as is humanly possible the life of your wife by placing her early under good medical care. (To be Continued) FROM PLANTATION TO PLAT. FORM Striking recognition of the colored race as a highly potential musical people is seen in the announcement of the Hollywood Bowl Association that the Fiske Jubilee singers will appear as a special attraction at the great open-air amphitheatre on the popular program of Saturday, August 10. It will be the first time in the history of the Bowl that Negro solists or ensembles have appeared on the platform as part of a regular summer symphony series. The present group, a male quartet, is adjudged the qualitessence of the third generation of singers produced by Fiske University, at Nashville, Tenn., which was founded in 1865, on the site of the old slave market, at a critical time in the American Negro's existence. Set free by Lincoln, the war of liberation ended, the Negro was put on his own feet with the rest of the population and without the educative advantage of the white folks. An army officer and an army gunner, inwarded the well-founded the aid of Gen. Clinton B. Fiske, who was in sympathy with the aims of the Freedmen's league. The school was established but was sorely in need of funds from the first until it discovered there was gold of a substantial nature in golden voices. Organized and welded into a euphonious whole (after the school's original concert in 1867 had been a flop) by George L. White, village blacksmith's son and a member of the faculty, who knew nothing about music except that he had an uncanny knack of making his charges sing in harmony and according to pitch, the first band of singers, comprised of thirteen in defiance of all superstition, black, white or intermediate, sel out in 1871 on a tour of cities known to be friendly to the Negro, after drawing all but the last fifty dollars from the treasury of the nearly defunct school to pay railroad fares to the first town. Billed simply as "a band of colored Christian singers," they visited Cincinnati, Chillicot, Springfield and Chicago. They were a sensation from the first. In those days appeals for funds were made at the concerts and collections taken. When Impresario White joyously sent the receipts from his first concerts to the university head, he had an inspiration. For many dark years the Negro had voiced his hopes of liberation by quoting a favorite of speech, mentioned in Veviticus, in his prayers. This alluded to a "year of jubilee." Thus the "band of colored Christian singers" became the Fiske Jubilee singers and so continued on East, where Henry Ward Beecher facilitated their triumphant invasion by presenting them in concert before his congregation at Plymouth church in Brooklyn. In 1873 they went to Europe. London heard them first and capitulated. Queen Victoria was in the royal box and asked them to sing "Steal away to Jesus" and "Go Down, Moses." They sang for the daughter of Livingston, the explorer, and she gave them the first contribution toward the building of Livingston Hall, original men's dormitory at the university. Gladstone, the Earl of Shaftsbury and the Earl of Argyle, Coleridge-Taylor, the King and Queen of Holland, the German Emperor and other potentates and celebrates in Europe and in the Orient heard them on a subsequent, tour in 1874, and a second dormitory rose at Fiske University whose echoes of their fascination spirals still ring in their memory centers. Fiske University in sixty years has developed from a normal preparatory school to a college of liberal arts of the siggers, born in slavery. The first group of siggers, born in slavery and recruited from the student body, is replaced by alumni members and vocally pre-eminent exponents of Negro folk song in the present aggregation. The Bowl management is among the first of established institutional enterprises of high cultural standing in America to give recognition to native colored talent. America has been tardy in extending this just due to the actual originators of American folk song. Europe, with more time and inclination for such matters, and with no such early prejudices as befogged a clear judgment relatively only a few years ago in this country, gave recognition to Negro talent at least as early as the sixteenth century, so far as contemporaneous records indicate, and in more recent times to not a few American Negroes who were practically expropriated here because they found no room in which to give expression to their urge. These first American Negroes to leave an environment which had proved uncongenial at the time to the further unfoldment of their talents and to seek fulfillment of their ambitions in Europe belonged to what might be dubbed the Louisiana group. Deriving enough inspiration from their contact with the cosmopolitan elements which comprised New Orleans and from which they gained a cursory insight into the greater artistic development of people beyond the big water, many through sportsport, wealth to a degree which they had accumulated or through sheer doggedness or luck went to Europe, and from this experiment in civilization sprang such figures as Edmund Dede, director of a leading orchestra in France; Eugene Wurburg, who distinguished himself; as a sculptor in Italy; Victor Sejou, poet and composer of France; Dubucle, musician of Bordeaux, and the seven Lamberts, who taught music and composed in America, France and Brazil, and one of whom was decorated for his work by the King of Portugal. First of American Negro interpretative artists to attract world-wide attention and win a place on the concert platforms of the world was Thomas Bethune, remembered as a genuine thrill of their youth. Only sheerest genius, in the case of this pioneer ebon pianist, once universally known as "Blind Tom," was able to overcome the prejudice against the black man then still rife in most sections of the country. "Blind Tom" was born a slave near Columbus, 6a., in 1849. His musical precosity was noted at an early age. He could immediately reproduce any piece of music heard. Prehaps it is more appropriate to speak of him as an imitative artist rather than an interpretative one. A pianist of the colored race, aside of "Blind Tom," who has won plaudits in all parts of America and in many corners of the entire globe, although her performances were given in less spectacular manner, was Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore, associate and soloist with the original Fiske Jubilee singers. While minstrelsy in America came to be primarily a white man's show enterprise, with burnt cork supplying the hue which associated it with the black man, England's first minstrel troupe was organized by a Negro, J. A. Armeau, in 1852. The toucher himself sang, danced and indulged in patter and colloquy. Armeau was born in England and no direct connection with American minstrelsy can be ascribed to him from available records. Locally, aniquitous Negro known to many counties of the South by the simple pseudonym of "Singing" Johnson is the first of the race of record to "tour" as an attraction. Originating in the congregation of a Southern colored church—which institutions have been the Negroes most pervasive incubators of musical talent—"Singing" Johnson traveled from place to place to lead congregational singing, and his ability and fame in that direction always attracted the entire colored countryside. He connoted or made up or created his songs. Negro authorities on spirituals deny that those are compositions in the accepted sense, but are simply the inspirational product of the moment and of circumstances. One of his first which is still a favorite, was "This o' ark is a-movin'!" He is said, to have derived the melody much like a humming bird gathers pollen, from the fuff of cotton fleece as he picked the bursting bolls in a Mississippi field in 1747. When "Singing" Johnson sang, the congregation "followed" him and frequently "answered" his melodic periods with antiphonal responses. He was accounted an excellent program builder, knew when and what kind of music to interject in a service and how to wind it up appropriately with a song. Mention of native composers of dark hue would be incomplete without naming the composer of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," one of the best known spirituals. This was "born heart" of Mrs. Sarah Hannah Sherpard, a Negro writer describes it, as well as several other songs of wide circulation. However, while these early lights of Negro music to gain a place in the records may not be considered eligible for comparison with the more directed and dogmatic product of Caucasian standards of music, there are striking examples of lightly trained singers among the Negroes of this early period who fell short of highest interracial honors only because of the drawing of the color line and a refusal to subscribe to the idea that art has no nationality nor color. At least three of these are said to have severely tried the lid that circumvented their sphere of activity. Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield came into prominence in 1851. Both England and America came to know her as "The Black Swan." She was born in Mississippi, taken to Philadelphia and became an attache of the household of a Quaker woman. Here she developed rare musical gifts. She had a compass ~45 twenty-seven notes, ranging from sonorous to baw a few notes above Jennie Land's highest. Flora Batson, also known as Mrs. Bergen, was accounted as a "find" for any operatic impresario; but opera, with social sponsorship to make it all possible, was perhaps the last place for Flora to look to for recognition. She was born in Providence, R. I., and possessed a range of three octaves. A tour de force of hers which is still recalled by old-time Negroes was her rendition of one immensely impressive Negro spiritual for ninety nights in succession with tremendous effect at a temperance revival in New York. Flora's power to aid the evangelist in making conversions were declared to have been uncanny. She turned riots of enthusiasm for her singing into great seething waves of religious fervor. Her death in 1906 in Philadelphia was universally mourned among colored folk and many whites. There then was Sissetta Jones ("Black Patti") with whose name "Swane River" is almost inseparably linked. Nineteen years at the head of her own colored musical troupe, she visited every important city in the United States and toured the West Indies and Central America. Hamilton Hodges, the Hyer sisters and a half dozen others also won respectful recognition. Among those who have attained success in late years are Roland W. Hayes, Paul Robeson, Rachel Walker, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1929 Mmes. E. Azalie Hackley, Mayme Lafloway Bryson and Florence Cole-Talbert. Of these the first three are especially prominent. The struggles of the first named to win a hearing were heroic. Three times he acted as his own impresario and laced lathre and bankruptcy, returning to mienial tasks to recoup his fortunes, before the world acknowledged his genius. Since then his fine tenor voice has charmed London, Paris, Vienna and other world capitals, he has been soloist with the Boston symphony orchestra and appeared in many other American cities. He has won the Spingarn medal, awarded each year to the Negro who has accomplished the most worthwhile work. Harry T. Burleigh is another winner of the medal. Paul Robeson's hit in the title role of "The Emperor Jones" is prone to cause the public to forget that he is first of all a singer of prominence. He is more robust in his art than Hayes, a characteristic of the latter's work being subtlety of shading and enunciation. Hayes, it is said, is affected by his own singing, equally as are his auditors. Often tears course down his cheeks while he sings some old-time "sorrow" son, reminiscent of the days of toil and travail of his people. Where music lovers are indebted to BookerT. Washington for the introduction of one great musician of the colored race, that other famous orator of the American blacks, Frederick Douglass, is responsible for a violin virtuoso who has concertized on the white man's platform. He is Douglass' grandson, John Henry Douglass, who besides, is instructor of music at Harvard university—one of the few colored men to hold a faculty position with an American university. Clarence White is another concert violinist of the race. A survey of the Negro's musical activities and an estimate of the significance of his creative and interpretative efforts in the musical idiom he has developed and in the white man's more complex mode of expression; would be incomplete without comedy, so-called popular music, ragtime and jazz. J. Rosamond Johnson has accomplished the most pretentious work in the lighter field. The composer perhaps remembered by the most for his song, "Under the Bamboo Tree," has a half dozen nationally successful musical comedies to his credit. He has composed a number of songs of distinctly Negro characteristics. Aitogether he has written over 300 popular songs. He was born in Florida and educated at the New England conservatory of music. Will Marion Cook is one of the best known colored composers. R. Nathaniel Dett is a writer of the larger form of choral and orchestral works. Among his best known work is the carol, "Listen to the Lambs," and the Magnolia suite. He is also a choral director. Carl Ditton is one of not a few colored musicians who arrange hand music. He writes also for the organ. Delving further back, in the field of colored composition, there was J. Hemenway, composer of Philadelphia, active in the twenties; Justin Holland, Cleveland, known in the seventies; Samuel Milady, also known as Sam Lucas (1846-1916), who wrote many popular ballads, among them "Grandfather's Clock." James Bland, who wrote "Carry Me Back to Ole Virginia," and Gussie L. Davis, who raised lumps in the throats of the "nineties" with "In the Baggage Coach Ahead." W. C. Handy brought cut "Memphis Blues" in 1910 and many more since. The Fiske Jubilee singers, in their missionary efforts of three generations and their farflung tours on the two continents, would seem to rate as the most powerful factor in obtaining a grudging but all the more impressive recognition for the musical genius of their race. Their coming to Hollywood Bowl, whose fame as a center of musical excellence is worldwide, can be considered to make a milestone in a long uphill fight for these superlative artists. FISK JUBILEE SINGERS IN HOLLYWOOD BOWL: (By LILIAS G. HART) For the first time in the history of the Hollywood Bowl, Negro artists are to appear on the platform as part of the internationally famous summer symphony concerts. The Fisk Jubilee singers consisting of a male quartet, all superlative artists, being the third generation of singers produced by Fisk University, will appear as a special attraction on the Saturday evening program, August 10. This is indeed a signal honor as well as an unusual opportunity for an ensemble group of our singers to appear on the same program with one of the world's greatest symphony orchestras before one of the largest audiences of music lovers of the highest type. It is to be honored that thousands of our group will wend their way to the bowl on this occasion in particular to hear this marvelous orchestra and show their appreciation of these artists of our own. The Hollywood Bowl association has engaged three of the world's most famous conductors for this summer series, the first two weeks, Bernardino Molnari of Rome wellded the baton over the 100-piece Bowl Orchestra, at present Eugene Goossens of Leidon and Rochester and the last two weeks ending August 31. Bruno Walter of Berlin will conduct. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE THE WORLD'S FINEST WOMAN MRS. FREDA JOHNSON The little chapel of St. Philly's Episcopal Church was the setting for the recent wedding of Miss Preta Shaw to Mr. Wm. Johnson. Miss Shaw was Portland's song bird from childhood, lately becoming a resident of Los Angeles. She wore a pink chiffon gown trimmed in oriental lace, pink picture hst to match, carrying a shower bouquet of white roses and sweet peas. Her only attendant was her sister, Miss Clotilde Curry, assisting her as maid of honor, wearing orchid, Spanish lace gown, pink hat, carrying a bouquet of sweet peas. Mr. Wm.

Perhaps few of us ever pause long enough to think what some of our greatest problems as a race are. They are many, and many of them are serious. But what do we concentrate on the ones that stand before our eyes and threaten to gain momentum at the turn of every corner. These problems are apparent everywhere. They are in evidence in the schools, political halls and at social functions. When we walk along the streets we hear cries of protest and from the Barber Shops the same cries are repeated. From behind the grey walls of our prisons seeps out the same protest of racial discrimination. The place that I may mention last but not least are those of employment. There are very few places where colored and white work on an equal basis, and this situation is considered as grave and unjust. We utter prayers to our God deliverance from such an evil. As a race we are becoming classes as colored, not black. Quite true to the vision of our eyes we are colored, many shades. But if we could or would trace our ancestors back a few generations we would find ourselves partially clothed, and instead of walking or riding along the streets or roads of a prosperous nation we would find ourselves of one color fitting back and forth among the bushes of "the Dark Continent" known as Africa. We were then one color and one blood, and today, although we are different shades and have the blood of different races running through our veins we are conscious of the fact that in the end our destination will not be determined by our color. We know that we will all be buried in the same soil and that we will decay and become of the same dust and the world will soon forget that we ever lived. The Negro race is looked upon in America as staunch supporters of American Democracy. Our battles for equality have been many. But we are not content to fight our battles here together as one people. We have begun to segregate among ourselves, and divided we cannot expect or hope to win. Not long ago, I met a girl acquaintance of mine from the middle west whose reputation was unquestionable. Her personality was charming. She was alert, smart and neat in every respect. In my estimation she would make a very efficient employee. She was looking for employment; so I asked her why she did not apply at a certain cafe that was owned and operated and patronized by colored people. She told me that she had been informed by an employment agency that certain cafe hired girls only of fair complexion. As such girls stimulate trade it is hard to blame the employer for he must have as much business as possible. But later I passed that cafe and many of the patrons were of a dark complexion spending their money with some one who would not give them or their family, if they were also dark, employment. It is a weakness of our race to cater to the ones with fairer complexion. Are they to encourage such segregation among our employers that will eventually spread to every walk of life? Are they setting a good example for our white brothers to follow? If so, there is no hope for a deliverance from our present dangerous, humiliating situation. Bernice Stout, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Stout of Santa Monica, was quietly married at the home of her parents, Wednesday evening, July 17, to Hillard Lawson, of Pasadena. Rev. Moore of Pasadena, officiated. The bride is a brilliant philanthropist, being an artist pupil and assistant of Lillis G. Hart and also a graduate of Santa Monica High school class of 1985 and a student at the University of Southern California. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson will make their home in Pasadena. CR THE BAYSIDE The new motion picture "Siren Of The Tropics", with Josephine Baker in the leading role, arrived yesterday aboard the French liner "Ile De France". This eight reel feature—the first film to which Josephine Baker has lent her unusual talent—has been playing in the great cities of Europe with astonishing success. The noted colored star, who enjoyed repeated personal triumphs in Paris as the outstanding personality in the world-famous night rendezvous "The Moutain Rouge", won equally great laurels when "Siren Of The Tropics" played to capacity audiences recently in Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Stockholm, Petrograd, and in her own Paris where the film smashed every box-office record in the history of the city. (By CARL ECHOLS) The purpose of this life has been a familiar subject for discussion since the birth of time. To this day the question remains unanswered; the problem unsolved—swoaked in the deepest obscurity. To the materialist, life is a conglomeration of purposeless phenomena; the juxtaposition of accidental force of nature; a mechanism that functions without an operator—a Godless universe! But to the more spiritual minded, order seems to hold in the midst of chaos. To such, life is a schooling place where the pilgrim-student comes to learn certain necessary lessons, and having learned passes on to other spheres of activity. Some (the theosophists, for instance) teach that we return to earth time after time (reincarnate) before we have completely mastered life's lessons. Many of the leading minds on this planet are believers in this quite plausible theory. The question: "Why are we here?" escapes the pure scientific method of research. Societies for research in psychic phenomena have spent years in attempting to answer this age old question. Whatever the extent of their success, these scholarly workers have at least approached the subject in an orderly, scientific manner; and while only the circumstance of this endless question has been penetrated, many interesting facts have accumulated that point to the reasonableness of the belief in the CONTINUITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS! Not even philosophy with its "transacendental" skill can venture an explanation that is void of theory and speculation. America is looked upon as the best outlet through which the producers of Baker picture can get back the enormous amount, of money which, was spent to make the film a reality. French interest at the head of which were several millionaires admirers of Jo Baker, are reported to have invested no less than one million dollars in "Siren of The Tropical". An American road tour has been arranged for the film which will play not only the leading Nordic theatres, but also the large colored houses from coast to coast. Carrying an insurance of $1,255,00; the film arrived on the steamer "Illé De France". Accompanying the picture to this country was a commission of Parisian film magnates headed by Maurice Rochambeau. Science says: Investigate! But some of life's most necessary phases refuse ultimate scientific investigation. Philosophy says: Reason! But can logic explain the orign and essence of love, life, and the basic emotions? Religion says: Believe and herein lies our salvation, for scores of the questions of life are past finding out. There are some things which I believe will never be understood; they furnish a barrier beyond which mere intellectualization cannot pass. Our instincts, our "feelings" are a more reliable guide than our reasoning facilities. WE MUST BELIEVE! Beginning with August 1st, the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library will be administered by an all colored staff according to the announcement of the board of library commissioners. It is believed that the interest of the community will be better served by one who understand the problems of the Negro race. Miss Miriam Matthews who has been on the library staff for two years and whose interest in the advancement of the colored people is well known, will take charge of the branch. Assisting her, Miss Byrd Holland will act as children's librarian. Mrs. Louise Bell Banes, who has been librarian of the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch for the past year, will take charge of the Hyde Park Branch Library. RESERVE THIS DATE Tuesday Evening August 6th 1929.

This meeting will be open to the public and is scheduled to begin at 8:00 P. M. Friday evening, August 9th. The admission is free. "An Analysis of the Negro Question" will be the topic for discussion. The object of this meeting is to obtain a general viewpoint for racial and civic harmony, as concerns the Negro people.

For the whole month of August there is only one match to which the white boys have both sides of the top spot and that is the Yale Okum and James J. Traddock traces, that comes off on the 27th. Hess and Carter The first natural to come off is the Carter-Bless match but you can read about it elsewhere on this page, so we will pass on to the others. Next in line is the George Godfrey Long Tom Hawkins romp set for the 13th. This is the match that has the wise birds figuring hard how to lay their iron men. Frank Churchill has bought Hawkins contract and every one knows that when Churchill takes a chance like that he intends to get something out of it. Churchill manages Ted Morgan and is need for not taking chances. That's the reason the boys on the know are walking around in a doubting frame of mind. HAWKINS GOOD Hawkins has proven conclusively that he must be considered when you are talking of the big fellows, and if you mention him in the same breath with Godrey and the -rest of the heavies on the top you are doing the right thing; that is in the mind of Mr. Long Tom. Churchill's new heavy has been in the winning habit for quite some time He has not lost a battle in over a years time and most of his recent wins have been via the K. O. route. But despite all the enthusiasm that is in him to be younger, that is on the verge of going to the top, we can't overlook the fact that George has met and defeated the best in the country and is still doing it when ever they can be coached into the ring with him. It is a known fact that every fight fan in America knows and some of them admit that Godfrey could lick every heavy weight in the game to day unless Hawkins has lifted out to be a phonomenon with the padded mitte the Shadow should beat film with little trouble. JONES AND MAHAN And then on the 20th of the month Gorilla Jones the newest wellweight sensation will tackle Windy Winsore star, Dummy Mahan. This battle should have the most conservative of fight fans standing on the edge of their seats, because of all the real action that it offers. More will be said about this match later on. "Wildcat" Center to fight Golden Hess After a week of wrestling arguing and everything else that stands in the way of making a match the managers of Golden Hess and Leslie "Wildcat" Carter finally came to terms and have signed for their box fighters to go to the post on the 6th of this month for ten rounds or less. The match has been hanging tire for weeks and it took some diplomacy to bring the two managers around terms. Hess and his manager were none too willing to sign for the match because they knew that they were getting a tarter in Carter and they made demands that were hard to meet. Peltit, Goldie's up and coming manager demanded and got a grand guarantee and one complete side of the card. Carter and his manager Bill Neal took as their cut 55 per cent of the gate. Carter also made Hess come his way on the weight. The boys will weigh in at 132. This is Carter's strongest fighting weight and he should be at his best. --- "WILDCAT" CARTER A SENSATION 6 Leslie "Wildcat" Carter is a sensation and he will take the Olympic by storm when he finishes Goldie Hess next Tuesday night. Carter not only is a sensational performer now but he has been ever since he started throwing gloves and he gets better as time goes on. LOOKS GREAT IN GYM The Kid is looking great in the gym. He has his sparring mats walking around in a haze after the first round or so and the spectators aren't far behind, so dazzling is his speed and hard hitting. His left is like tightening and his right is like a tri-hammer. JOE WATERMAN SPEAKS Joe Westerman, no manager, with Frank Churchill says, "Carter is one of the best lightweights in the world today, and I would be willing to bet everything that I could rake and script that outside of two men in the lightweight division Carter is king pin. I have the greatest request for Sammy Mandel because he is the champ but even at that "Wildcat" would run, him close. Tony Canocher is the other man that I have in mind. He will give anybody b——1 I say that Neil's boy will stop Hess inside of seven rounds." A LITTLE LOOK AT THE CAT Now for a little inside look at the Northwest's latest star. Carter is 19 years of age. He has no father or mother. He is the adopted son of his muttagge Bill Neal. Leslie has a fair tut dancing. He says that he would rather肩 than eat. Next to fighting he likes dance, sing. It was hard to choose which to do, dance or fight. The ring won out and he dances when he buys any nights on. Two weeks ago at Curtin Mobaya's Nite Club on professional night, he won second place in a tap dancing confest. Stepin Fetchit took first. Last year when the incomparable Bojangles visited the Northwest he gave the kid some pointers on stepping around. EXPECTS TO GO TO COLLEGE The "Wildcat" does not intend to stay in the give and take game all his life. A couple of more years in the squared circle and he will hand up the padded mitts to enter the University of Westminster to study medicine. Carter usually gets home-sick after a couple of days in a new city, but he says that this is the first place he has been since he left Everett. Washington and he did not feel the home urge. He likes it so well he will live here from now on. LOST ONE FIGHT The boy wonder has lost only one battle in 32 fights. He lost a ten-round verdict to Frankie Steton in Frisco a couple of months back. He broke his right paw in the first round and fought the last nine one-handed. He had put Steton to sleep in three rounds in a previous meeting. In his first ten round fight he held Tod Morgan to a draw. He has put Johnny Lamar away, beat Richie King four times, took this same Doc Shell that Eddie Mack put out, down the line. I could write all day just listing the ones he has beaten. As a last word, Carter says that he will add Hess to the long line of those that were but aren't any more. The cash customers went nome carlye on Tuesday night. The Day of Night usually is the doc that does the putting iner, but the medicine man was Bloating around in a dream instead of the patient—and it was quite some little dream. It took them about 5 minutes to bring Snell to. Hidie Mack the likeable college chap from Denver again demonstrated to the fans why he is the foremost Peerless CABS MUtual 4141 SNELL WILD The first cato was even. Snell was a little wild and wide open but Mack took his time and was boxing pretty. In the second Eddie started to put that left of his in use and had the Tacoma pharmacist on the floor. The gong saved Doc from being put away. Then came that third round. The Mexican knew that he had his man in a bad way and he went out to finish him. As Snell mushed out, wide open as ever. Mack threw rights and lefts so fast it was hard to say just how many he did land—but he put plenty of them on him. A flock of lefts, a right cross and the Doc was on the floor in dreamland for the first time since he started fighting. The college kid is in a class by him when he is asked when he lain that K, O, or Snell. Jose Gabues beat Clyde Varner and Al Rivers went six to a draw with Frankie Carter. MAX SCHMELING THERE The German Jack Dempsey was there and boxed four rounds with two sparring partners. Schmeling looked good, but he didn't seem to be so hot with some of the boys up in the gallery. The one and only Dempsey was introduced and got a big hand. The two do look a great deal alike. "Wildcat" Carter and Goldie Hess, next week's main eventers, were also introduced. SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS Bert Hubbard lost to Sammy Augtire by a technical knockout on San Berdoo's fight card Thursday. Augurre had knocked out several of Hubbard's molars and he and his manager decided to call it quits so that the boy would not suffer any serious injury from more blows on the tender jaw. Bert put up a hard battle and gave the Mexican plenty to think about as long as he lasted. This Anguirere is going right along. He has not lost a battle in a gang of fights. The only black mark against him for some little time is the defeat that he suffered at the hands of Sammy Jackson, of Santa Monica, and Sammy will beat the best of them—don't forget it. Freddy Hawkins and Leonard Porter, the black boy of New Orleans, that is going like a house afire, fought a slashing six-round draw. For four rounds Porter was leading but the referee could only see a draw. ORANGE BELT CLOSED. The Berdou club will be closed this coming week, but will open up the following week with a jam-up card, that should pack themin. Rather than book fights that are not up to par Hess Elkins, the matchmaker at the Gate City Keeps his arena closed until he can secure talent that will assure his petrons action. BLACK HERMAN That long looked for rematch between Jimmy Black and Checkie Herman has finally rolled around and the boys go to the post on August the 8th for ten rounds or less. The boys have met three times and Hermen holds the edge in decisions, having taken two with Jimmy taking the third. SHOULD BE SOME BATTLE It should by all means be some battle, as both boys throw plenty of 170 MOVIE EXTRAS TOTAL $2000 DAILY PAYROLL AT WARNER BROTHERS' STUDIO STUDIO'S EXTRA LIST TO REACH 400 PEOPLE PER DAY IN CURRENT PRODUCTION, "GOLDEN DAWN" Large Wholesale Now Open To The Public Shoe Warehouse SHOE MARKET BUY YOUR NEXT SHOES HERE The SHOE MARKET BOOTH HILL ST.

Sitting right down in front where he could get a perfect view of the show was the world famous composer and song writer, Ted Lewis and his party. Last weeks show was given in honor of Lewis and featured all of his recent song hits that he has written or featured during the last year. "Walking Around In A Dream" The theme for last Fridays show cable increase in our racial payroll. Numbered among the many who were on hand to aid in the completion of the many scenes, were some of our more orally prominent women. The locate in the scenes shot was in Gorman East Africa. The extrax chiefly used as natives and colonial soldiers, called Essecart troops. They represented a more enlightened group of natives, consequently much care was taken from the best seller in music this year; "Walking Around In A Dream." Curtis and the charming Miss Mildred Washir-ton worked out an elaborated interpretation of Mr. Lewis's fanic skipy vision. Norvellee Reese the little man with the big voice sang the song hit in a most pleasing manner. Reese lost himself completely in the throes of the beautiful melody and it was truly great. The young man can sing and no less. The winsome Apexetties then came tripping out on the floor with candles to shed a little light on Norveghe's dream. All the while the incomparable Blue Blowers were playing as they are famous for playing, with that tickling sensation that makes you lose track of all worry, and woe. I would be willing to wager that if Ted really had been in the arms of Morphues the god of sleep that night, he could not have told the difference between his playing of the song and the playing of Mosby's gang. The remainder of the show was ever bit as good as the Lewis feature. Dick and Slick a couple of dancing fools direct from the Big City and Broadway where the lights shine the brightest, almost stopped the show with their sensational hoofing. The boys dance on a par with the famous Ali brothers who are now in the east.

Lewis Gives Thanks After the last number was offered, Mosby introduced the famous band leader and they almost brought the house down with the ovation they gave him. Ted expressed his appreciation for the show and thanked the Apex owner for the great honor he did him. Lewis said, "I certainly want to thank you for the wonderful treatment and the most delightful conception of my dream that you have given me to walk Curtis and I wish you all the success in the world." RUTH GIVENS WINS BEAUTY PRIZE AND TRIP TO SAN FRANCISCO, ANDERSON SECOND The first annual Bathing Beauty Dance contest held at the Savoy Ballroom was a success in two ways. First because the house was packed and jammer, second because the few young ladies that did enter the contest were wonderfully endowed with that thing called beauty and no less. Prof. Wells was there in his usual flawless floor managing. Paul Howard and his won't stop band, played out of this world. Only four girls entered the contest, but what they lacked in numbers they made up in that thing they were contesting for—beauty.

UPTON Leaving Chicago last wee kon the clock "Los Angeles Limited," Maid J. Easper, one of the oldest maids operating out of this district, was severely cut about the face as she was about to enter from one car to another. An electric connector not securely fastened, jumped out of the socket and struck Mrs. Jasper full in the face, indicating several severe cuts about her face. A doctor advised Mrs. Jasper to leave the train at the next station and go to a hospital for treatment, but feeling that she could finish the trip and receive better attention at home, she pluckly refused to get off. Mrs. Jasper the wife of Frank Jasper, also operating one in this district. The Pullman Company's doctors have been in constant attendance at her home since her arrival. PULLMAN PORTER'S WIFE ATTACKED BY DOPE FIEND Mrs. W. C. Anderson Battles With Mad Man A dope fiend ran amuck last week and attacked Miss Martha Giles at her home, 1502 E. 22nd St. Intifling severe wounds about her head and face and also biting her in several places. She was rushed to the Receiving Hospital, where she received treatment. Miss Giles sought refuge in the home of Mrs. W. C. Anderson, wife of Porter Anderson at 1500 E. 22nd St. Mrs. Anderson was alone in her home when the two rushed in the house. Mr. Anderson had just left on his run to Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Anderson boldly entered into a turtle with the engaged dope fiend and was badly beaten up in the fracas, although she was still battling and giving a good account of herself when the police arrived on the scene and placed the culprit under arrest. The dope fiend was taken to the Newton Street Police Station, and later tried to commit suicide, by hanging himself with the blanket from the jail cot. MRS. FOOTES OVERCOME BY HEAT Mrs. Footes, wife of Porter Footes, operating out of this district, was overcome by the heat last week as she and, Mr. Footes were in the act of leaving a street car at 12th and Griffith Ave. Mrs. Footes suddenly fell to the ground as Mr. Footes was assisting her from the car. She was hurriedly put in a cab and rushed to her home, where she is now undergoing treatment. It was exceedingly fortunate that Mr. Footes was with her at the time of the mishap. DETECTIVES SEARCH POR- TERS GRIPS Many complaints were registered to the District Supt. last week in regards to the methods of special agents in searching Porters' handbags. On several different early morning trains last week Porters were demanded to produce their handbags for a rigid search. Special agents claimed they were looking for Pullman linen and other railroad property, and although it is to be regretted, in some cases they found it, thus substantiating their claims to the right of the searching which has been in progress for the past week. This general search should be nothing new to the porters, because this is not the first time that it has been done. All large corporations that handle the public do the same thing to recover their property, in some in- stances thousands of dollars worth of goods have been rounded up in their raids. While it is far from being a pleasant thing to subject your bag to a search, still, if you are not guilty, why worry? The only serious object that the writer can see to this new measure is the part of the search the Porter Green objected to in the service that has been week, the practice of frisking has gone in the presence of passengers is very indeed and it is to be hoped that on the strength of the wonderful protest that Porter Green made against it, it will cease. There's a limit to everything, and this is one of them. PERSONAL APPEARANCE As the writer sat in the service meeting last week, I took particular pains in noting the different expressions on the faces of those present at that meeting. Some few faces clouded up when the question of personal appearance was brought up and discussed. Now, any porter who has been in the service at least a year, should know enough to keep himself as neat and tidy as it is possible, for him to do. It should not be necessary for anyone to remind us that it is wrong to wear colored collars on the job; come out in delapidated uniforms and bright colored neckties. Right is right men, and in this column the writer tries to print as near the right thing as he is able to define. If I am wrong I stand to be corrected, and do not think for one minute that I will not publish a correction on myself if you mail it to my house. This paper is paying me to write my opinion of activities in Railroad Circles as I see them, anyone can be wrong at times, so why not me? But I will never know it if you do not drop me a line, so shoot in your heels. SOUTHERN PACIFIC The writer now being on the extra board is able to get in closer contact with the different dining car crews. He should happen to be on your train, scratch up your news and hand it to him. He will be only too glad to publish it in the RAILROAD CLATTER. If you do not see him, just mail it to CHAS. L. UPTON, 2190 W. 30th St., so that it will reach me by Monday. Would like to hear from Mr. T Harrison, Traveling Chef; Mr. Percy Buck, Clarence Johnson, Fred Thornton, Ovid Scott. A line from the crews operating on the "Lark" and "Padre", 59 and 60. This is your column; use it. On Diner No. 10002 the following cooks know their stuff, and what's more they cook it: G. W. McClain; Chef Bernard Hayes, 2nd Jessie Sassie, Extra 2nd and James Cummings, 4th. The waiters of this popular crew are Jio Wain; Albert Scott; Isaae Stalks, Clarence Ingersoll and Kenneth Ross. When the boys catch this crew they know that they will be well fed. Pantryman (old man) Jack Warn, told Chef McClaim that the picking on No. 1 and 2 was very poor indeed. He ought to know! Chef G. W. McClaim had 'second cooks with him on the "Sunset!" and "Padre." They wore Bernard Hayes. Markus Garvey, the second and the Hon. Mr. Jessie Sassie (globe trotter). Chef Jack Steele was given a fifteen day vacation by his friend, Lord and Master. Mr. Kendall. He's funny that way! For some time a time of gossip has been floating around Central Avenue in regards to Chef McClain sporting a cane while gliding up and down the Avenue in his red hot roadster. Now, if any of you sheik chefs happen to run shy of hot mamas, just wait along Central until his royal highness Chef McClain comes by and you will notice he has that roadster full. Furthermore we have never yet heard of any of these warm babies getting out and walking back home. He's "tight" like that. WOMEN'S ECONOMIC COUNCIL NOTES Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Murray Embark in Honor of Houston Women Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Murray, of 1150 E. 25th St. entertaining Mrs. H. M. Johnson of Houston, Texas last Thursday evening. July 25th with an elaborate reception. The decorations and service breathed an air of engagement and good taste. While minging with the two hundred guests, we found the Council Ladies quite conspicuous. This affair will always live long in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to be present. Glee Club Meets at Mrs F. H. Matthiacon Tuesday evening the Glee Club met at the home of Mrs F. H. Matthiacon, quite a few ware in attendance and the Club instructor reports that the club is making very rapid progress in their work. This club is soon destined to give the public a big surprise. Mrs Walter B. Woods Gives Whist Party Mrs M. M. Stafford states that she will soon have to hire a personal secretary to keep up with the many different affairs of her Council. It seems as though during the past week it has been one bit time after another. Mrs Walter B. Woods gave a very unique whist party at her residence on East 49th street, last Saturday. It is needless to say that the house was packed, as is the usual custom with anything that the Women's Economic Council puts on. Friday evening, July 26, Mrs. F. H. Mythaeanone, mother of "Farina" the our Gang Comedies of "H" Roach, Our Gang Comedies] gave a La Barbecue Stomp at her home for the benefits of the "Women's Economic Council." She served hatbeaked chicken and as the hour grow lags we heard the humour "How Dear to my Heart" and the Scenes of my childhood. All who attended this novel affair were loud in their praise of the wonderful eats. And the Vioemen of the Council are asking "When will there ever be another week like this?" Mr. and Mrs. Upson are just recovering from a severe attack of a summer cold. * * * SOUTHERN PACIFIC VARIS COACH CLEANERS NOTES Mr. Ed. M. Thomas, the man who put the Southern Pacific Coach Cleaners on the map, and before the public, writes me this week that a new arrangement in the work at the yards will give at least five men a break—Ira Irvine, Louis Gay, E. Franchiers, Tome Woodie and Harvey Young will be changed from 3-11 to 10-40 to 6-40. BOOTH SMART'S SON WINS PROMOTION A proud father is Mr. Booth B. Smart, and justly so, as his son Pluto Smart, age 16, attending the barber school at 2nd and Main St., is making very rapid strides in his profession. The manager noticed that many of his customers preferred young Smart to do their work and would stand in line and wait for him. Being a very bright manager and not at all color blind, he placed young Smart in the shop where charges are made. This gives young Smart the privilege of a percentage on all work done by him. He has actually made the grade of a full fudge barber in 7 day's trial. What father would not be proud of a boy like this? L. K. Young has put a bid over on the boys, leaving the 10:40 shift and taking the 7 to 3 shift. All in rail roading, says Dunn. Harry Young says, getting off at 6:40 gives him a fair shot at "The Lin- coln." DR. HUGH A. BELL 8511 CENTRAL AVE.

JUSTICE DRIVE During the War the dugboys fought for life, liberty and democracy and now after 11 years they are demanding justice, something they claim they have not received since they laid down their arms in 1918. The platform of the veterans drive is very logical. When the war was over the American profiteers that had their money invested with the government and had lost demanded a return and got it. "We made it possible for these men to get theirs and we have waited 11 years for ours and are still waiting," is the way one vet puts it. Every colored veteran in Los Angeles is urged to attend this meeting and if possible go to the National Capitol. There will be no expenses to be borne by the men going. All they need is a mess kit and everything that goes with it and all other costs will be taken care of by the Legion. The public is certainly invited. LOOK! LOOK!
