1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 Great Mass Meeting Wesley Chapel Monday Nite VOLUME 42 No headline of greater significance than this has ever been flashed across the headlines of this paper. It is a call to arms to come out and partake of e gathering which means economic independence for a group. The bell has rung and the curtain has dropped, henceforth we must treat the wine press alone" if we expect to get payday. This Mass Meeting at Wesley Chapel on Monday evening will tell the story; let everybody rally for this forward movement. Paris-The Beautiful John A. Gray Nearly everyone has dreamed of a trip to Europe at sometime during his life. The charm of old world atmosphere, of days spent wandering around buildings that are centuries old, of visits to museums and places of historic interest are attractions that even the most blase of globe-trotters cannot fail to enjoy. Every visitor to the continent goes to Paris. It is the hub of western Europe from which radiates the roads that lead to all Continental Europe. Paris is unique. It is the home of all that is beautiful. The charm of all that is artistic has been collected for centuries and has been placed in ideal settings in this most beautiful of cities. In the spring and autumn Paris is at its best and the tourist who is fortunate enough to be there at that time can never forget its impressiveness. The climate is mild and sightseeing is a pleasure. One has an opportunity of seeing the real Parisians because they absent themselves during the summer months. During the month of August nearly all of the shops are closed for vacation and the visitor will find the city rather drill. Living in Paris is rather clear and unless the tourist is well-versed in the mode of living like the French, he will find his stay quite expensive. He will also find a knowledge of the French language a valuable asset. There is absolutely no color line in France and one is welcome wherever he goes. It is amusing to note that the average Frenchman thinks that Americans of color come from South America. If one meets with prejudice at all it is because he frequents restaurants and cafes where white Americans go in large numbers and it will be from them that all acts of discrimination will come. The French have only two meals a day. The restaurants serve the first meal, which they call breakfast, from eleven o'clock until two in the afternoon. Dinner from seven until nine. They are closed at all other hours. Everyone must eat at mealtime or go hungry. For the tourist who comes from England or America, a little breakfast is served in the hotels. This usually consists of coffee and rolls, with a little jam if one wishes, and is brought to the room on a tray. Otherwise one gets his cup of coffee or glass of wine at a cafe. Cafes do not serve meals as in America. The French drink wine or table waters with their meals but never tea or coffee. Coffee is always served after meals and between meals. Wines, beers and liquors of all kinds are found everywhere, however, one rarely sees a drunken person or even a tippy one. The American drinks in order that he may feel something while the Frenchman drinks to quench his thirst, as in the case of wine or beer, or to enjoy the aroma and flavor of some old liquor. The idea of getting intoxicated never enameurs their minds. teens then Theaters and Concerts do not begin before nine in the evening and the intermissions are sometimes twenty minutes in length. No programs are free and one must tip the cocktail or usherette. There are many beautiful parks and gardens in the city and during fine weather there are band concerts. One finds benches on the sidewalks all over the city where the tired pedestrian may rest under the shade of the trees. In bad weather one can visit the art galleries and museums of which there are many. witch The Palace at Fontainbleau and the forest as well as the Palace and park at Versajilles are very interesting and wellworth the time spent in visiting them. For those who like the unusual, a visit to the Central Market at four o'clock in the morning is an event without parallel. Here ones types of all kinds and for the writer or artist it is a source of rich information. One has often read of the wickedness of Paris. What a shock to the tourist to find that his own country is worse than this so-called wicked city. Hold-ups and murders are now where near so frequent there as here and one may safely go about the The wedding scene of the marriage of Miss Viola Napier Pitts of St. Louis; Mo., to Mr. Leon- and Herbert Ross of Los Angeles, in St. Paul A. M. E. Church, St. Louis, Mo., August 21, 1929 streets at night without fear. As for Leonard H. Ross, well known and popular citizen, departed on his vacation and has brought back with him concrete evidence that his vacation was well spent, for back with him came a most charming and winsome bride. Thy happy couple first passed through the city during this week enroute to Catalina island where they will round out their honeymoon and be home to their friends on or after September 20, 1929, at 17731 W, 35th St. The following clipping from a St Louis paper is an account of the wed.ding which was solemnized in that city, August 21st. ROSS-PITTS NUPTIALS On the beautiful summer evening of Wednesday, August 21, 1929, the marriage ceremony of Miss Viola Napier Pitts to Mr. Leonard Herbert Ross was solemnized at 6 o'clock at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. The knot was tied by Rev. Nesh Williams, before a large and fashionable gathering. The soft lights of iridescent hues illuminated the palms and showers of roses decorating the church. The strains of the organ played so ably by Miss Jennie Crenshaw, added to the solemnity of the occasion. The pews for the special Three Churches Combine In Benefit For W.V.Howard In appreciation for the faithful service of Prof. W. V. Howard who has been sick for several months, three churches have combined to present a monster benefit program on Tuesday evening, October 1st at the Peoples Independent Church, corner of 18th and Paloma Streets. The idea has been very enthusiastically received by musicians and music lovers and some of the best local talent will appear, including the great Hamilton Male Chorus Mrs. A. C. Billbrow, Wesley M. E. Choir, and Popees Independent Church Choir. Professor Howard has been a very willing and faithful worker in religious and civic affairs of this community, always responding to the call of any organization that called for his service. He deserves the support of all. He was a former member of Hamilton M. E. Church, Wesley M. E. Church, and is at present a member of the Peoples Independent Church. This benefit effort is being sponsored by these three organizations. morals there is no comparison. The great difference is that the French do not hide the things that they do and can easily distinguish the good from the bad. In America where the majority of people lead double lives and pretend to be what they are not one is often deceived. One finds the European more sincere than the American and more appreciative of little attentions and courtesies. An earnest effort is made to live up to the motto of the country which is Liberty, Equality and Frater- guests and the members of the Progressive Art and Pal O'Mine Clubs of which the bride is a member were marked off by white ribbons caught by bouquets of lilies of the valley. The Misses Alexina Gray and Lillian Williams assisted the guests to their respective place. The beautiful bride attired in an exquisite gown of white Duches satin and carrying a bouquet of white rosebuds and lilies of the valley, was given in marriage by her father, Mr. William Pitts. The bride was attended by Mrs. Julia Thomas as matron of honor Misses Beulah O'Mears, Lillian Blue, Florence Smith, Edith Nichols, Mesdames Marguerite Hardeman, Florence McMuskay, Lela Davis, and Carrie Coleman as bridesmids. The groom was attended by the brother of the bride, Mr. Clyde Pitts as best man, Messrs. David Coleman, A. G. Lindsay, J. L. Procope, E. L. Grant as groomms. Following the bride were two tiny bearers who were attired in white satin suits and very aly held the bride's dainty train. They were none other than little Jess Temple, Jr., and Alphonso Bellous. The flower girls, Lurlean Bellous and Beulena Brock carried themselves as queens while scattering roses in the path of the bride. The matron of honor and the bridesmaids were attir- (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Sept. 10.—That the Young Women's Christian Association is one of the most modern of social welfare agencies in respect to its methods and its program is the opinion of Miss Isabel Lawson, recently appointed general secretary of the South Parkway branch in this city. "I believe that the most active forces behind the Young Women's Christian Association are prepared to approach the difficult and delicate problems which are created by our changing social structure with an open mind and the will to lend themselves vigorously to a solution of any problem," she asserts. "Our Association has had to face the task of making an institution that would be acceptable and serviceable to the so-called old-fashioned girl and the so-called modern girl. It has met the issue of greater freedom demanded y the girl of today without trepidation and in a way to retinse the interest of the girl of today while depleting her greatest possibilities. It has the association has not only the right to feel proud of its record of service girls but also that in its service our girls are good young women can find the greatest opportunities for usefulness." Incidentally, Miss Lawson is the youngest woman to ever head the Chicago branch. She succeeds Mrs. Lulu Lawson, who resigned to work for the Rosenwald Foundation. Miss Lawson has been in the Association service, at Jersey City, N. J., Newcastle, Pa., Cincinnati, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pa. She received her training at the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati and the professional training school of the Young ed in dainty dresses the color of the raindrop with hats of white sand hair braid turned off the face at a very becoming angle, and set off by rhinestone pins with chiffon bows to match their dress at the side. They carried bouquets of pink rosebuds. Beautiful and appropriate solos were rendered by two simulars of note. Mrs. Olivette Smith and Miss Ruth Minor. Immediately after the ceremony the reception was given at the Rope roof garden. The receiving line was composed of the bridal party and Messenger A. Black, E. Grant, Eva Monroe, B. Saunders, E. Ingram, and Mr. Y. Purner. The bride and groom are both prominent socially. The bride having been a teacher in the St. Louis school system, an district church worker in its many departments. Mr. Ross is a prominent citizen of Los Angeles, Calif. The happy couple left on their honeymoon immediately after the reception for Buffalo, N. Y. Mrs. Bell Owens Writes Mother From Mid-Air En Route to N. Y. Two days in the air, two letters to her mother, Mrs. Georgia Anderson, 957% E. 23rd St., this city, was the novel and unique experience of Mrs. Beatrice Owens who made the trip as announced in this paper last issue. Excerpts first letter: "It is the most marvelous sensation you can imagine. We are now miles and miles high in the air going at a terrific speed. Travelling at a rate of 110 miles per hour. Will arrive in N. Y. Thursday." (She left Tuesday). "If you coul but look out the window of this plane you would see the most marvelous view your eyes could possibly behold." Second letter: "Still in the air going 112 miles the hour. Stopped St. Louis this A. M. The miracle of it all is the landing of the plane. The descent is so gradual it necessarily sense it. There is no mechanical regulation to guide, so it depends solely on the feeling, the touch, the pilot has toward the intention of his plane. It is like feeling the notes on your violin." Mrs. Idell Bateman, of 941 Zamora was hostess at a prettily appointed buffet luncheon, Monday afternoon honoring little Doris Spear. Other little girls who shared honors with Doris were: Maraine Jackson, Katherine Jefferson, Annie Jefferson, Julia Venter, Johnnie Mae Small, Gliays Bell. The luncheon was served as only Mrs. Bateman knows how, and the little girls enjoyed a delightful afternoon at games and story telling. Women's Christian Association.

Congressman Oscar De Priest En Route To Pacific Coast Leaving Chicago on the 14th inst., Congressman Oscar DePriest enters upon a speaking tour which will carry him from his home in Chicago through the North and Northwest down the Pacific Coast to Los Angeles, where all indication point to the greatest reception and ovation which has ever been tendered any official of the government will be tendered him. He will stop in St. Paul, Memphis, Seattle, Portland, Oakland, San Francisco, (probably Fresno), and other points in Southern California and on to Phoenix, Arizona.

The various committees now being put in formation will be announced the incoming week. Part of these committees are already functioning and getting everything in line for the reception of our distinguished visitor.

The Reception Committee will be another very important cog in this situation. The Decoration Committee, the Publicity Committee, N. A. A. C.

All of these Committees will be announced the incoming week, volunteers willing to serve will do well to hand in their names, especially those who have automobiles.

Organizations Enthuse Even our fraternal, civic and political organizations are much enthused and have offered their services, led off by the Los Angeles Forum, the American Legion, and other political organizations no doubt a highly creditable showing could be made providing it is decided to stage this feature.

A. at 8:00 o'clock, to participate in the arrangements for this history making event. CHICAGO J. Allen Reese No one person can sum up Chicago Big, noisy, ever restless, cold and now warm, age worn, bad and never asleep, good bad, indefeent, gives you a sight and a very slight idea of this city. From 200,000 to 350,000 is the estimate Negro population nobody seems to know, but at any rate they are forever flowing up and down Michigan, Ave. State St. 47th, Wabash Ave. 51 St. and thru the many arteries of the Southside. Some are busy indeed, others at leisure, some happy. There is anxiety evidenced by some, others register that fate has frowned upon them, and indeed fate has been cruel to many, but who cares wry worry, they are in the great Metropolis, Chicago. Too, we find the Chicago Negro standing erect, and at the side of open groups in the business efforts and the marts of trade, and creditable so. Florists, Undertakers, Shoe makers, Building Contractors, Groceries, Markets, Tailoring establishments, Drug stores, fairs, Hardware stores, Notion stores, fish markets, plumbing establishments haberoashers, shoe stores, printers newspaper plants, insurance companies Banks, and of course the professions. We observe too, that in the southside the Jew is ever present, and in many instances all the help in the establishment are Negroes. Western Unions uses Negro boys to deliver their southside telegrams, Walgreen Drug Co. uses all Negro help in all its southside stores. Theaters in this district do likewise, and some white banks are putting in members of our group. The Woolworth interest have been approached, and requested to consider the employment of Negro girls in their southside establishments and since no action has been taken the southside is waiting. Sunday finds every body in church, Massive Structures these churches are with seating capacities of 3500 to 5000 and on Sunday morning nowhere to sit. They are packed down the isles. Everybody goes to church, Denomination makes no difference they are all crowded. Their services are well conducted and in most instances dismissal comes at a reasonable hour. Rosenwald interest have just completed on a square of ground bounded by 46th and 47th Streets, Wabash and Michigan Avenues, what is known as "Michigan Gardens Apts." This is a 5 story structure housing 417 families of our group in 3, 4 and 5 room Apts. The garden which is surrounded by the building is beautiful indeed, with caretakers on the job daily. Watchmen guards the premises' day and night and though there are approximately 1600 Negro men, women, and children housed in this strictly fire proof structure it is clean and quiet as though a single family resided there. The store fronts facing 47th are all occupied by Negro merchants or business which employs Negroes only. We of the West use our heads in worship of mountains of earth, and clay, fashioned by the hand of God, and painted by nature touch, but in Chicago we view with awe the mountains of steel, stone and concrete piercing skyward, illuminated, and whose design and is maw. Wonderful towers these are and there are many such. To stand on the shore of Lake Michigan and view the sky line of Michigan an evening at night is a sight never be forgotten. Such is briefly and in part my observation in Chicago. SMART SET CLUB Miss Virginia Taylor entertained the Smart Set club August 28th. After the meeting a dainty luncheon was served. To girls spent the evening planning their Dance, September 17 at the Savoy. COLORED RADIO ARTISTB who get a break on the air from time to time, depend, as do others, upon public appreciation for holding their places. If you tune in and hear a voice you recognize and it is good do not hesitate to write or phone whatever station it comes over telling the management of said station how well you like the artist, and how you would like to hear him or her often. "As one lamp lights another no grows less, so nobleness engindeth nobleness." THE GARBAGE Collectors Relief As THE GARBAGE Collectors Relief Association, we are told, is no more. We hope this is a mistake and that the Association is still functioning, for we feel that there is great good to be accomplished by this particular organization. We have been persuaded to believe that the head of this department who resides at the city White House has been rather prolific with injustices towards the men who compose this Garbage Collectors Relief Association. But this sort of thing should not cause the men to lose faith in each other, rather it should serve to cement their mutual interest in their own welfare. NO DOUET some would say let it alone; it tends to stir up ill feeling between the races. This sort of agitation does not help. Of which points of view have been carefully considered by this writer, but it should be contrary to our honest conviction to sit idly by and allow the so-called Rev. Bob Shuler to continue the spreading of such propaganda as that encouched in his articles in the August, September and October numbers of the Bob Shuler magazine without offering some word of protest The "Negro Problem" Mr. Shuler cleverly styles his tirade; and in his opening chapter in the Sept. issue he makes a very reasonable appeal to reason. He talks about the injustices that have come the way of the Negro Race are not made up, as some foolish propagandists contend, of laws and rulings by which they and their children are banded from swimming pools, gymnasiums, parks and other resorts frequented by the white people. Nor are these injustices determined by the attitude of any white community towards residential restrictions or social privileges. The real injustices have been economic rather than social says Rev. Bob. The African should be allowed to earn by honest competition a place for himself in the affairs of the nation rather than his right to eat at the table of some white neighbor. And this final paragraph is the first hitch in this cleverly prepared Shuler propaganda, and brings back to our mind a comment made by brother Bob a few weeks ago when, while en route to San Quinten, on a mission of mercy, observed a Negro criminal handcuffed to an Italian prisoner. This Christian advocate of right thinking and living turned away from his spiritual meanderings long enough to say that the scene of a Negro hitched to a white man even though both were on their way across the river did not look good to him. Shuler has certainly fooled a class of Negro thinkers, and this statement is not meant to be a reflection on any part of the group, for it be understood this Bob Shuler type of white Christian (not always loud-speakers)-is to be found everywhere. They believe that the Negro has a place, wherever he may be, and at all times.-Just what they mean by the Negro's place I have never been able to fathom. But in these "Negro Problem" articles it is very evident that Rev. Shuler is admonishing the Negroes in Los Angeles not to follow the examples set by the Chicago and New York Negroes but to stay in their place, and all will be well. "The Jews as an Example." They, says the author of the "Negro Problem," furnish the most healthful example of the ability of a race to overcome odds and successfully retain the integrity of blood and racial heritage. We realize that the Jews suffered grievously in their long period of slavery, and that when the time of liberation came, they dragged from the Jordan twelve stones and erected a monument to commemorate their liberation. But is there any just comparison such as brooding Shuler attempts, between ancient Jewish bondage and the present status of the Negro. To begin with the Jews were in bondage for many thousands and years, and were forty years in sight of the promise land waiting to get together in order that the remnant left might enter. The Jews suffered because they disobeyed. In 1482 the white man was overcome by greed and a desire to develop his newly discovered country; hence the African to whom he should be sent was captured. The same came his easy victim, was captured (Please turn to page 6). ```markdown ``` Avenue improvements. The city extends the bright light zone to 9th and Central.

Gala Time Had At Blaine-Nell Sat. Night The Blaine Nell Country Club was the scene of a Grand and Glorious time last Saturday night. Dancing and more cancing was the outstanding feature along with entertainment offered by Miss Margret Jones. Miss Jones is a blues singer that stops them dead. She sang "Am I Blue," "Love Me Or Leave Me," and many other blues numbers that had them standing on chairs and every thing else aviable to see the little lady strut her stuff when she started to Miss Jones has been working at Warner Brothers Studio for the past two months and has several more weeks coming up in the movie game before she goes back to the stage. Blaine Venerable the owner of the Country Club has engaged the blues singer to sing and dance on Saturday and Sunday night and she is really drawing them out. IRWING BROTHERS STILL PLAYING The Famous Irwin Brothers Orchestra is still rendering the music at the Blaine-Nell and it is music that is right on out of this world.

And we can't forget the other brother on the piano. The boy tickets, the Ivories like his very life depended on it. TWO BANDS The Blaine-Nell has two bands playing on Saturday and Sunday nights. About Two P. M. when things are just about getting tite, another band of shirts breezes in and plays for an hour, both of the bands are good. The second band has a banjo picker that plays the Irwin boy a run for his money. WONDERFUL PARTY FRIDAY NIGHT The Gatilina Island boat boys had a wonderful Whopee party at the Club last holiday night. The boat boys entertained about one hundred guest and every one said they had one jam up time. The Irwin Brothers furnished the music and played in their usual good style. The party was in dinner dance style and class was all over the place. Nothing but class to those boat boys anyway and they gave their affair in a classy place. BLAINE NELL COUNTRY CLUB PROTECTED BY LAW In last week's papers, Mr. Venerable said he 'was going to rid his place of undesirables if it took all the law in the county. Well, Saturday and Sunday nights, every avenue of approach to the club was guarded and a thorough search made of every car and person going that way, with the result that a great many of un-desirables were jailed. It is Mr. Venerable's earnest desire that the people who visit his club maintain order in every respect. Law-afiding citizens are not afraid of the law and they need not hesitate to go for the right kind of a good time. The Blaine Nell Country club will only be open to the public on Saturday and Sunday nights of the week are reserved for private parties. For reservations phone LAFayette 1232-R2 or METropolan 1784. Or, better still, go to the club, 1660 Columbus street (118th street) just off of Compton avenue. Why not go out for dinner Saturday and Sunday evenings; you would endure, in number, the club stands for law and order at all times and you MUST have it. JOHN JACKSON NEW ADDITION Miss Mildred Washington co-producer of the Apex Chocolate Revue is knocking them dead wit hite very original "Blues floor show this week at the only bright spot on the Avenue" Co-starring with Miss Mildred Washington is the newcomer that has made such a hit the last month, Gus Jones. Mildred and Gus really run amuck with the blues. Its nothing but Mues and more blues. The "Home Again Blues," The Rain Blues, The Black Land Blues and every other kind of blues that you can think of. And the little Miss Washington gets better with each show and no less. Kaki Warbling St. Louis Blues And or course it would take our old friend Black Bottom to sing the St. Louis Blues in the way that they were intended to be sung. Kaki was really the mistreated St. Louis woman with her many diamond rings. Right along with her St. Louis number Black Bottom did "Take your tomorrow and give today." The heavy set dark skinned man is some jazz singer and they never tire of her red hot numbers. Mary Diggs the hot number from dear old Chi is leading the chours this week with a jam up Blues hip shaking dance that just won't behave. Mary isn't long out of the Windy city and she brought all of her stop 'em dead numbers with her. New Face ... Anew, but welcome face is noted on the floor this week in the person of John Jackson formally a third of the Ali Brothers and John Jackson team that starred at the Cotton Club for weeks. The team teamed up when the Ali boys packed up and oceided home to the east for a change. While dancing together the Ali Brothers and Jackson were conceded the honor of being the best and acrobatic hoofers on the Pacific Coast.

The Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance has repeatedly indorsed the program of the Pyramid Cooperative Association and is now calling its entire membership together to obtain their approval of the Alliance. All lodges, clubs, and other public spirited and racial organizations are invited to attend and take part in this meeting which promises to be of great interest. The Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance having heard the Pyramid Cooperative Association's Managers present their program on several occasions, is now desirous of having them place the same before the public. Music will be furnished by Wesley Chapel Choir, assisted by some of the best local talents. on up from their seats! Miss Hoy goes the Blues route this week too. And she walks in the Suey Roy manner, she wants a "Man that will come home every night." And no fooling around. **Gus Jones And Mildred Again** Gus Jones and Mildred jump back into the spot light with a comedy number that has been diary, Gus says he is no woman's fool and tells Miss Washington what he would do if she was his and Mildred comes right back with her "Its and Ands." It finally ends up with the poor woman paying as usual, by being on the receiving end of some well directed blows, from her would be man. **Tin Soldier Chours** In the second show the chours girls get a break and steal the show, with their tin soldier number. In addition to the show Wednesday night the house was filled with celebrities from the up-town theatres. And of course they had to do just one number for the folks. Jimmy Johnson also sang a radio number entitled, "Loud Speaking Mama You Had Better. Speak Easy to Me." Jimmy claims she had too much static and was going to get him another Loud Speaker that didn't make so much noise. I have seen tail spins of all descriptions, but never before had I seen a head spin, until Mr. Johnson started to spinning around on his bald dome like any body's top.

This League is composed of the Colored Employees of Los Angeles County, particularly the Janitors Department, which is under the supervision of L. G. Robinson as Custodian of County Buildings. The Committee on Arrangements, Messrs. Joe Carter, Edward Hubert and Lorenzo Ashton, saw to it that every minute was taken up with an interesting event. There were foot races for young and old, egg races, horse-shoe pitching, and an interesting and amusing boxing contest between John Robinson and Frank Leonard was staged. For all of the events elaborate prizes were given to the winners. These prizes were made possible through the courtesy of many Los Angeles Merchants among whom were the Kline Clothing Company, the Brown-Isreal Clothing Company and the Victor Clothing Company, Silverwoods, etc. A typical picnic "Feast" was laid out about noon and after thanks had been given by Mr. John Jones, President of the League, everyone joined in heartily to relieve the grownning tables of their load. The Committee furnished plenty of lemonade and ice cream to the picnickers. Then came the baseball game, which is a feature looked forward to, and is a contest between the Janitors and the Elevator Operators. Keen interest is always displayed in this ball game which was won this year by the Janitors by a score of 7 to 5. A more perfect and enjoyable outing could not have been planned, and the families and friends of the County Employees were delightfully entertain- --- Page----Two The Calif.

Stephens, representative of Oakland, and his illustrious daughter Miss Virginia Stephens, recent graduate of Law School of University of California, paid Miss Los Angeles a visit, returning home the first part of the week following a motor trip to San Diego. Mr. Stephens employs fifty colored men and women in his establishment. We notice appearing elsewhere in the columns of this stately bird weekly poems from the pen of one who describes himself as "The Deacon." Each one is strensely flavored with the essence, of truth and is attracting much attention. It appears that 8th and Towne is getting fever struck for a new church. Not only is the solo being sung, but we find the pastor furnishing the music. If he sticks to his expressed ideas why we believe the old historic edifice will be the first church in the West to build an industrial religious institute that will in a measure, if not wholly, be self-supporting and give occupation to others beside the pastor and junior. Amen! Call a taxi, please. The County Employees descended on Echo Park, September 9th and held their annual picnic. It proved to be the largest yet and as a result we understand there is a market shortage of chickens and boneless hams We motored by the Golden State Insurance Building last night and heard so much noise-that we thought murder was being committed. Investigation brought out the fact that a new quartett was being organized and harmony had not been reached yet. We recently heard that one of Los Angeles' very rich widows had committed matrimony last June. Yes? No? Or just what is the truth of the matter. We can't tell but a little deduction will perhaps lead those inquisitive to the door of the accused. The school bell which has been silent for the past two months was heard to ring last Tuesday morning and the thousands of pupils, boys and girls answered its call and again became students eager to absorb knowledge and education in the hope that they may become useful citizens in the community. Several hundred of this number were colored. Atty, Willis O. Tylter and wife recently returned from a vacation in the north. They report a motoring good time. Traffic Officer Coleman, who directs traffic at 5th and Central Ave., is reported spending his vacation with Canada. Think of us both Coleman, we certainly envy you. LET THE POLITICAL CLOWNS SLEEP LET THE POLITICAL CLOWNS SLEEP (By JOHN MERIDA) Chapter V. Deer comrades of the Negro Race Greetings: The brothers of the south have taken residence in our beautiful city. What are we going to do? Are we going to stand by and support such leadership hat cringes and bows before white domineering bosses of the south if so we have just as well look for such damnable laws and signs that are so conspicuously displayed below the Mason Dixie line. Many of us who have travelled through or lived in the southern states know of these traditions. Many of us who have never lived there have read of the same. The traditions of the south are not even new to the civilized world. It even reached to the blood drenched battlefields of France. It is said that while a whole regiment of our dour home white boys were in battle and happened to look to the right of them If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened and seen a Negro regiment advancing and the white regiment stopped fighting* and began to discuss the race problem, where-upon the Germans came one to tell the sad story. The traditions of the South when America attempts to carry her clean and beautiful home before the civilized courts of the world, she is always reminded of one little corner that she will clean. Therefore she is presented with a broom to first clean her own house and then she will be eligible to teach others how it is done and not before. For it not only needs cleaning, it needs scrubbing. Brother and fellow citizens of the Negro race, every time that you are not allowed to enjoy the freedom that any other citizen might enjoy, you are encountering the tradition of the South. Wherever you cannot work or hold a position because of the color of your skin or because you are identified with the Negro race it is the old tradition of the South. The manager may tell you that the whites will not work with you, and they will all quit, but don't you believe that bunk, for some of the jobs they hold and the salaries they get, nobody but a hungry person would stay. I would hate to be or I would not that allowed my employees to manage me. They may tell you how sympathetic they are with your cause, but sympathy minus justice is more cruel than ignorance plus injustice. We as all other people are looking to leadership for justice and not to ignorance malice or prejudice, whether they be presidents of our government, congressman, senators, judges, mayors, councilmen or whatnot, so long as they are executives they should be capable of unselfish leadership. They do not have to offer us a chair in their office and spend two hours trying to tell us they do not hire Negroes for it does not take that long to hire or fire any man. The old tradition of the South must pull off that disguise because we know what is behind it. That diplomacy is old as the civil war. We have the time for polished diplomacy and smiling excuses, we are busy seventy-five thousand of us, with our political revival we have saved others, now we are going to save ourselves politically. Our revival will continue 365 days or twelve months in each year. We are not concerned about the Republican party, for when the Almighty sent his Angels and summoned Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner, William L. Garrison, George Storr, Wendel Phillips, E. P. Lovejoy and many others of the grand old patriots, the Republican party took wings and flew to Heaven with them and has never come back. We are not concerned about the Democratic party because we found it out during the last presidential election. If a candidate is a Catholic, Democrat will turn to a Republican. Since we as not organized against the Catholic, Jews and Negroes we can be two-faced or so if we don't want you we can be you and an dwe can't know you as long as you keep the door closed in our face. We mean the door of equal rights and opportunity. Our ballot is worth more than a handshake and a dismused smile. Negro men and women look around, you breathe the atmosphere of the traditions of the South. It is here can't you hear them ringing your door bells they come in droves. They come in the south, sold you life insurance and then helped to mob you, they sold you furniture and then helped to set your house on fire. Case are traditions of the south, they lynch, they burn human flesh, they piffer, they segregate, they are destructive gossipers, they are parasites, Negro men and women have born the burden in the heat of the day. You built them mansions, factories and various kinds of industries. You have gotten nothing in return. You will not get anything as long as you allow the sambo type to tell you who to vote for. If he was a Sambo down there, he is the sambo here. We want men here and not Sambo we want women here and not black manies. We want leadership that will not falter: So Let The Political Clowns Sleep On. McDONALD-HARDON NUPTIALS Beautiful in its simplicity was the wedding service of Mrs. Theresa Myers-McDonald and Robert Z. Hardon, which was read by Mr. E. E. Lightner and Mr. S. M. Bean in the parlor of the Congregational home on Sunday afternoon. Preceding the ceremony, the groom's sister, Mrs. E. E. Lightner, played McDowell's "To & Wild Rose." Mrs. J. L.

One such individual has just been observed by the writer of this column: I speak of Mrs. Katherine White, traveler, journalist and social worker. Society stood amazed on last Thursday when a most beautiful and unique luncheon was given at the Dunbar hotel by Mrs. Ada Irby, of Pasadena, honoring her beloved friend, Mrs. Lena Morton, who has just recently returned home after a year's stay in Baltimore, Md.

I had lost my appetite and could not do my house work. During this period I consulted and took treatments from a good many doctors, without receiving any benefits. Some said I had a tumor and advised me to have an operation. Then one day a friend advised me to consult L. P. Tso, Chinese Hebalist. After taking only two weeks' treatments my condition improved to such an extent that I am now a perfect housewife.

Incorporated Baptists Re-Elect Williams at Kansas City THE NEW YORK TIMES (By The Associated Negro Press) Kansas City, Mo. Sept. 10. After listening to the reading of an exhaustive and comprehensive report of the president, Dr. L. K. Williams, delegates to the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, meeting in this city, re-elected him to the position which he has held since the death of the late Elias Camp Morris by the customary vote of acclimation. Dissension and revolt, which, according to reports before the convention, had been brewing in several states, scarcely showed its head here, and the tall Chicagoan was the same master this year that he has been on previous occasions. Eight thousand people were thrilled by the music of a chorus of 750 voices Tuesday night in the pre-convention concert. The chorus, directed by Edward H. Boatner of Chicago sang a program of spirituals and classics in Convention Hall in a manner that revealed the genius of Mr. Boatner, inasmuch as many of the singers could not read music. Accompaniment for the singers was played on six concert grand pianos. A feature of the concert which proved a distinct surprise was the prompt beginning of the program. Persons arriving late, figuring on "colored people's time," got to hear only one or two numbers. Defying tradition in that he failed to send a letter or a proxy, Governor Harry S. Caulfield, personally greeted the delegates when the convention opened Wednesday morning and assured them that they had come to a state which was "not unfriendly" to th Negro. Governor Caulfield motorized the 165 miles from the state capital especially to greet the Baptists. The state executive revealed that he was of the Baptist faith and recited some of the things which his ad- PEACE, PROSPERITY, PROGRESS! This writing marks the close of four years of a peaceful, prosperous and progressive pastorate of the Rev. I. Albert Moore, of the First A. M. E. Zion church of Los Angeles. During the last four years our church has seen many valuable and delightful reforme in her program. Today we have one of the best regulated and orderly governed churches in the community. Rev. and Mrs. Moore enjoy the confidence, respect and cooperation of this church and a full share of the confidence and appreciation of the general public. Watch the program for September; it is full of entertainment, information and inspiration. Sunday, September 1st and Sunday, September 8th the pastor will preach and Sunday, September 15th is our annual Men's Day. Sunday, Septem- ber 22nd is our annual Womans' Day. To merely mention these annual days will recall to the minds of the public with increasing freshness the character and callibre of the speakers we have presented on these occasions. To say that we are giving this phase of the program special attention this year, is equal to saying that we still have your interest at heart. Bishop William J. Walls, A. M., D. D., of Charlotte, N. C., will speak for the men at 11 a. m. September 15th. ministration has done and is doing to make conditions better for the Negro citizens of the state. He told of the improvement, in rural school conditions for Negro children, of changes in the law to give them more and better schools, of improvements at the state penitentiary and of non-discriminatory law enforcement programs. Prolonged applause greeted his statement that he was trying to be governor of all the people and was seeking, insofar as was in his power, to iron out inequalities. Welcome addresses were given by Mayor Albrt I. Beach of Kansas City, who told the convention that Kansas City regarded its Negro citizens as an asset and was proud of them, by Dr. J. Edward Perry, T. B. Watkins, the Rev. S. A. Washington, the Rev. J. T. Goodall of Philadelphia responded. WOMAN'S DAY AT THE FIRST A M. E. ZION CHURCH Sunday, September 22nd is Woman's Day at First A. M. E.

A. Lively, Rev Brannon and Rev. Riddle for their consoling remarks. MRS. MARY CARPENING. A Special Notice to the Entire Baptist Denomination of Southern California J. H. Brown, the pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, San Diego, Calh has proven himself an outlaw as concerns Baptist Polity and an undesirable character in the estimation of the better classes of the resident people of D. This is a likeness of REV. H. R GIPSON, formerly of Jacksonville, Florida, now of San Diego, Calif. San Diego, Calif. The said J. H. Brown has eight affidavits filed against him in the office of the clerk of the Superior Court of San Diego by some of the leading members and officers of the said Calvary Baptist Church. He also has two serious cases pending trial. He also has been guilty of influencing those of the little group that is following him to depart from the rules' and customs of all Baptist Churches in America by expelling members from the church without charges, notice or a trial. He is not at all in harmony with the Baptist ministry. I am praying that the Baptist ministry of Southern California will come together as a unit and declare him to be an undesirable Baptist minister, and let him return to the cotton fields of South Georgia from whence he came. Anyone doubting the statement as to the affidavits signed against him, you may write the clerk of the court at San Diego. (Signed by): REV. H. R. GIPSON. A legal member of the Calvary Baptist Church, San Diego. WRITE 400 WORDS …and win one of these 835 PRIZES!

Pico and Paloma streets, Sunday, September 15th, at 11 o'clock. Although a young man, Bishop Walls is an international character and recognized as one of the most able prelates in the United States. His scholarly and eloquent sermon delivered at the Zion Church about two years ago is still remembered by the large number of persons who heard him. Bishop Walls, during the past year, has probably been the most outstanding colored churchman in America because of his profound and convincing argument before the Federated Council of Churches of Christ on the subject of the Church's attitude in race relations.

O'Connor, left for the National Baptist Convention at Norfolk, Va., and after leaving the Convention he will stop at Houston, Texas, and spend a much earned vacation with his mother, Mrs. Ira Coleman. Rev. O'Connor has made very much progress in Los Angeles, as a young minister of the gospel. He began preaching just five years ago last June, and has been pastoring Mt. Corinth just four years. The membership of the church is 219. He baptized 22 of this number. He began preaching at the Y. M. C. A. on East 9th street. From there he went to a very small church building at 14th street and Hooper Avenue. The rent of this building was $45 per month, which was paid by Rev. O'Connor from his own pocket for six months. Having only three or four members he did not get discouraged. He continued to work and pray and preach, never faltering in his belief that he had been called and that the Lord would send workers in the vineyard, and today he can say that his belief and faith has been confirmed. For just 14 months ago, we moved to our present location at 1248 East 27th street near Hooper avenue and we have a very nice edifice upon our own lot which is "almost paid for. Thanks to the Almighty God for it, and we wish to thank our friends, and visiting churches for their aid and co-operation; we also wish to thank the following named clubs for their aid in making it possible for the pastor's trip to the Convention, also his much earned vacation: The Do Rite Club, Mrs. V. Walker, president; Pastor's Aid Society, Mrs. E. Golden, president; the B. Y. P. U., Mrs. Oddie Brown, president; the Independent club, Mrs. E. Warren, president and the church in general.

CHARITY UNION CHARITY CLUB ENTERTAINED One of the most brilliant affairs of a quiet Sunday afternoon was the occasion of the regular monthly meeting of the Chicago club that was entertained last Sunday afternoon in the spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dotson, 359 N. Vernon avenue by Mr. Herbert Mills, Mrs. Alice Oyver, Mr. and Mrs. George Harris and Mr. and Mrs. W. Matt Solomon. This club was organized by Mrs. Eva Burton, formerly of Chicago who has since piloted it from a very small beginning, until it now stands out as one of the largest and best organized and functioning state clubs in Southern California. Only recently a juvenile branch has been organized with 15 members which bid fair to become one of the best of its king. Fourteen new members were received at their last meeting with a crowded waiting list seeking admission. Because of the increasing membership the fee for joining has been bership the fee for joining has been increased to five dollars. This club has gained the enviable reputation of putting over the greatest banquet of like organizations of our group. After the regular routine of business the club was addressed by Mrs. Helen Adams Moore, the accomplished wife of Dr. E. W. Moore, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist church, Pasadena; she greatly electrified the crowd of more than one hundred persons. Mrs. Moore is very eloquent and those who have heard her can attest that too much cannot be said of her genuiness and ability as a public speaker. Mrs. Burton, the president avers this to be the banner year along all lines, and has called upon the entire personnel of her membership, who have pledged their heartiest support as the delve into longer and more constructive projects, for human uplift and betterment. The club adjourned voting that special thanks be given the entertaining group and inviting them as their special guests at their annual banquet to be held the latter part of the year. THE EGYPTAIN ARTIST (By DORIS) But they use reedsTAETAOAAA The Egyptians haven't any pencil; but they use reeds they soak the reeds in water until the ends split and form a brush. The palette which we American artists use are also different. The Egyptians' palette is a narrow, rectangular piece of wood, a curved edge at the lower end in which to lay the brushes and with two or more cup like holes to hold a cake of dry ink red and black, the two colours most used. A small pestle and mortar to pound and grind the colours. The Egyptian with his palette in hand usually crossed his legs and stars on his model, practicing with the black ink and correcting his faults with his red ink. ```markdown ``` --- Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION AUTUMN WILL SOON BE HERE "Light frost was felt here today." read dispatches that will soon be appearing with more and more regularity. Light frost? Why that means autumn is just around the corner. In a few weeks the frost will be on the pumpkin and the hoar upon the vine. And we thought summer had scarcely commenced. How the seasons fly. Away last spring, summer had seemed, in prospect, such a long, pleasant period of fine weather and pleasures. In the spring one looks forward to summer with much longing. There were to be picnics, automobile trips, swimming, fishing, excursions to the mountains and seashore; and two weeks' vacation. So much was planned, and so little done. Now, as it draws to a close, one realizes there were more events than dates on that summer program. When autumn comes we count the dreams of spring that have not been realized during the summer. It is so full through life. Happy times and soul-stirring seasons are just ahead. But when we come to them they are crowded and short. Though we reluctantly surrender the pleasures and pastimes of hot summer days, we turn to autumn with cheery anticipations of cozy evenings with radio and book, motoring in the rare autumn air, evenings at the theater, and harvest feasts. The poet, who in the spring asked, "What is so rare as a day in June?" probably supplied his own answer when the fall came around. Nature makes her perfect days in September and October. Do not travelers invariably say they would exchange all the fine weather of the tropics for the days of autumn in the temperate zone? They are man's compensation for the dreary days of winter and the sultry days of summer. NOMADS OF 1929 The neighbors are back from their long auto tour and they have a lot of experiences, funny and provoking, to relate, and an unearthly number of snapshots to exhibit. Looking well, too, one could not fail to notice. The kids are wilder than ever, though. Don't know what those neighbors are thinking of, to bring up youngsters wild. But on the whole the entire family certainly has been the gainer. Notice Mr. Neighbor, now. His step is springy, his laugh booms deep, he shakes your hand as if he were trying to crank an unruly tin lizzie of ancient vintage. And Mrs. Neighbor—sakes alive! What will she do for clothes this winter? You remember how pudgy she was getting. Oh, of course we didn't tell her she was pudgy; we said plump. But meant pudgy. And now she's thinner, and tall, and has the graceful carriage that her friends used to remark on so when she was younger. Younger! That's the very word! The Neighbor family is all younger. A trip that took them six or eight weeks, happy, tanned, carefree, living the life of nomads. H. G. Wells says that al lmankind falls into two divisions—the merchants and the wanderers. When Herbert's successor writes the history of this century, maybe he'll tell how the two merged. We are a nation of merchants and we are becoming a nation of vacationists. If the neighbors could have a fine trip like that this year, how'd it be to hitch up the old gas buggy ourselves next spring, and start right out? 'Twould be fun. SERIOUS SIDE OF COLLEGE It is frequently said in depreciation of college men that they go to college to have a good time first and an education afterwards. Apparently some good people believe that it is purely accidental when a young man proves that he learned something in college besides social etiquette and athletics. The facts in the case are that no man or woman ever left an institution of higher learning without some degree of mental improvement, that the serious side of college life is never seen by the public, while the lighter side is always on display and that very often getting an education is a struggle instead of a saturnalia of spending and sporting. All colleges and universities report an increasing number of students working their way through school and the number of college men and women who are not gainfully employed during the summer vacation period is now eligible. As far as working at their studies is concerned, there is no American institution of higher education which will tolerate low scholastic standings. The individual student must be 75 per cent efficient or leave by request. A college education need no defense as it is now almost universally accepted as a necessity. It may be criticized regarding its efficiency, but until all young men and women become 100 per cent efficient as students colleges and universities cannot attain that perfection of efficiency. However, how many of those who condemn the college man for not working his way through school study while they are working for a livelihood? Studying is as much a man's job as shoveling. GETTING TOGETHER The coming of Congressman Oscar DePriest on the 28th, 29th, 30th of this month should be the greatest possible inspiration for all peoples and more especially the people of our group to get together along the lines of political effort. The Congressman himself is a practical demonstration of the get together movement and from him will come the story of the efficacy of co-operation and how to go after the things which we are entitled to. In this great Western country there never was a time when the people need to be organized than this moment. We are firm in the belief that they are willing and ready and who knows but the visit of our doxyte Congressman is the one incident that will set in motion the great proposition of "getting together" as never before. That it will bring to pass an aggressive and forceful leadership which will put the great West in the very forefront of organized effort for the advancement of our group along all the various lines of advancement. ALONG THE LINES OF PRODUCTION Just recently we had the opportunity of spending a few hours in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley and we were inspired by the sight of quite a few of our group who have enlisted into the army of producers. We saw acres upon acres of snow white fields of cotton, also of other products from the soil of this rich and fertile valley. We even saw a field of cotton which was the product of one of our leading fraternal orders. The land owned by the fraternal order had been purchased for the purpose of building a home for its aged members, but in the interim its products from the BEGIN If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened soil have exemplified the proposition of production to such a degree that many of the members have been inspired and are likewise striving to become producers. These facts are encouraging indeed, and we firmly believe marks a new era in our progress to the end that instead of being merely consumers we shall in the not far distant future become real producers from the soil of the earth. of men interested in the furtherance of forg ed a "Scouting Party" visited the South An order to bring about a better understanding and, find out, if possible what reciprocary brought about in the realms of trade. Resu alone has come an order for 1000 boxes of carloads of fruits. This will be sent to the ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING YOU WILL WIN The election of J. Finley Wilson for Grand Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent Order of Elks of the World for the eight consecutive term is but in keeping with the reward for service well rendered. His accomplishments overcame all the powerful opposition to unhorse him. His record for instituting new lodges and building up a membership will stand as a record for all tme and in this situation it was like kicking against the pricks to defeat him. This newspaper was among those who stood for his reelection solely upon the record which he had achieved. Herein lies a lesson which is more potent than any words spoken. Do Something worth while and you will always receive the acclaim and support of the people. HATE AND PREJUDICE BEHIND YOU September 29th, the occasion of Congressman DePriest's visit will without doubt be the greatest day in local history for our group. Few indeed are the residents of Southern California who have ever seen a Negro Congressman, they are coming from Valleys and Mountainsides to see and hear the Congressman, DePriest. with the view of gaining new hope and inspiration. May we add at this time it will be appropriate indeed to lay aside forever all petty prejudices and get really together on a common basis for the good of all mankind. Let all who have had fancied grievances against another, forget it, get into the vanguard of progress for a new day and for the advancement of all mankind. We beg pardon for our tardiness in acknowledging the receipt of a copy of the initial number of the Oakland Independent. We also wish to welcome its advent into the journalistic fold. It comes forth with all the ear marks of experienced journalists lurking in the shadows and sending forth their handiwork. Eight bristling pages of news and advertising, feature write-ups, and indeed a credit to the fourth estate. We wish this new venture a brilliant future and great success. THIS SOUNDS BETTER We note with pride and pleasure the action of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance which is sponsoring a gigantic Mass Meeting on next Monday evening at Wesley Chapel for the purpose of emphasizing the advantages and necessity of support of the business propositions owned and conducted by our group. On this particular occasion they will stress the support of the Pyramid Co-operative Store, located at 2602 Central Ave. This sounds good to us for the reason that it indicates that we as a people have just about arrived at the conclusion, that the power lies within us to be just what we will, that we shall be. There need be no apology for this movement, but on the other hand abundance of praise is due the ministry for coming to the forefront in the premises spoken of. It is to be hoped that the people will turn out in large numbers for this memorable occasion and for one time get the inside of co-operative effort. It solves the whole economic fabric and demonstrates the fact that we can build up our very own business propositions the equal of any other group barring none. Therefore we urge the people to turn out on next Monday evening in large numbers to the meeting at Wesley Chapel for it is here that you will "hear the truths which will make ye free." What became of the silver dollars that Uncle Sam was going to put into ciruclation? Why don't they make hinged windshields for drivers to go through without breaking the glass? The true worth of many a man is never recognized in his lifetime; and a cat is only a cat until it dies and becomes seal skin. A humorous writer pleading for immediate abolition of the word reaction claims it has been over-worked. There was bound to be a reaction. COMMENTS If the California State Fair was ushered in as a beauteous dream, it went out in a burst of glory. It was heralded as an outstanding success from every angle. It could well have been called an Exposition of the Western Empire, because the sister states of the, Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain States, as well as the Republic of Mexico, joined in making this 75th anniversary of the California Fair (The Diamond Jubilee) an exposition of this great Western Empire whose natural resources of wealth have no comparison on this Continent. Naturally the outstanding features were the exhibits made by the counties of the state of California. The educational exhibits of the various institutions of learning; the products of her soil; the wealth of minerals brought from her vast store house in the bowels of the earth; the riches of her forestry, and the advancement in the humanitarian treatment of her unfortunates, all stand out as monuments on her road of progress. Interesting, indeed, is the study of California's educational institutions, corrective and humanitarian as well as the more advanced. The facilities offered to the youths to prepare for the battle of life and the help given the unfortunates to readjust themselves and becom useful citizens, places her in the front rank of progressive commonwealths. If the uninitiated think of the West as a vast sand dune or desert waste they should have seen the magnificent exposition of natural and cultural wealth made by the sister states Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and the Republic of Mexico. Desert wastes, have been turned into the most prolific areas, adding to the wealth and comfort of man. Vast store houses are needed to hold the fruits of her orchards and granaries are bursting with the golden grain. Minerals, precious and commercial, ransoms for kingdoms, meet the eys. Wealth for the nation; Food for the world; This can be the summing up of the exhibition of the California Jubilee in the forward march of the West. Seeking for a market for the surplus products, a number of men interested in the furtherance of forgein trade, and termed a "Scouting Party" visited the South American countries in order to bring about a better understanding in trade relations and, find out, if possible what reciprocary methods could be brought about in the realms of trade. Result: From one source alone has come an order for 1000 boxes of pears and several carlioids of fruits. This will be sent to the destination by ships specially prepared in refrigeration to handle such products. It will not be an experiment. Already ship loads of citrus and other fruits have been shipped to the Orient successfully. Argentine offers a source for the marketing of western fruits. Orders have come in from other South American states and soon there will be a demand that will tax the source of supply. For several years this column has preached the possibilities of wealth and the opportunities offered for the independent living which comes from being a producer, to the farmer of the Race who had a sufficient amount to carry him over a certain period and the intelligence to till the soil under advanced conditions. We have argued that it was one of the principal means of combatting with success the problems of race. Some have taken advantage of the suggestion and are on the road to success. There is room for more! Come! But bring with you intelligence, grit and enough money to tide you over the time of non-production. Be a "Pioneer!" What has been termed as "One of the most disgusting spectacles in the annals of 'fraternal' conventions," has come to a close in Atlantic City. Under the guise of "Progress" in the ranks of racial advancement men fought with the vindictiveness of maniacs to retain a hold on the financial contributions of thousands who are innocent feeders of the clinging parasites. The way and only way to be rid of the barnacles who cling to the ship and impede the progress for which she was launched is to run her into fresh water. Take away the source of revenue and the clinging suckers will drop off. Fraternalism will lose its charm when the source of fattening food is withheld. Voters were held in corral, same as they used to do in the days when political parties bought them, until the time they were called upon to deliver. Tactics, which would disgrace the days of the old corner grocery caucus, were used by the adroit professional politicians who are at the tiller of the ship. These are days of service. Service which should be given unselfishly. Service which should be given for helpfulness and not for selfish gain. Men who will resort to the methods of ward politics to maintain their grasp on easy money cease to demand that respect which comes from unselfish service. Fly by night associations are initiated to further their ends. Promises are made which are never fulfilled. Charity covers her face in shame: Justice weeps at the enormities done in her name: Love hides in the remotest corners and Fidelity flees in disgust. If one but keeps their eyes open and ears alert they can learn lots about human nature. It is interesting to get into a crowd and hear the comments made. Public officials who feel secure in their popularity would become amazed to hear some of the things said. Yes, just circulate through a crowd when the event calls out some of the political leaders and you can gain a very good idea as to which way the wind is blowing. We used to know a very astute politican who would send a man to all of the county fairs in the state of Minnesota where a public official was slated for a speech. This man would wander through the crowds and get a summary of the opinions and when the time came to hold the convention he would have such a knowledge f the political conditions that his judgment was termed uncanny. Men express their feelings to each other freely when they believe that they are not under surveillance. Aside from the political angle there are many others. For instance: there was a jockey at the race track who won every event on the card. Disparaging words and epithets too vile for publication were uttered by a group nearby. Presently the jockey was called to the announcer's stand for congratulation. His race was given as that of an Indian. "Good Lord!" exclaimed one of the group. "that takes a big load off my mind. I thought it was a 'darkey.'" Now, what was the difference? But it shows the trend. There is a great cry of disappointment that the Governor has not appointed some one Aframerican to a representative position. Talks of political reprisals are rife. They are foolish. Why? Because there is no concrete political condition existing. There is no political organization of sufficient potency to make a dent in the machine. When election comes around we have a few professionals who lay for the unwary candidate and tell him of their political pull with the Race voter. If he is unsophisticated, he falls. If he is wise, he slips the "heeler" a cigar and bids him the time o' day. We believe in the independent practice of our political opinions, and if you are going to demand consideration along racial lines then organize the Race voter. See that he or she, understands why they should register and when registered, exercise the right of franchise. Why not maintain a political organization the year round. That is if you want politics recognition. When you have a working organization (An organization that has shelved all the parasites of the political sales room) and go to the appointing powers for political recognition they are not very apt to tell you, "that they do not believe th etime RIPE for a racial appointment to some position worth while. Threats of political reprisal under existing conditions are ludicrous. But it is not too late. That is, IF YOU GET BUSY. in his own land and country, sold in slavery in this country; but after 250 years as chattel slave, helped to free himself and in less than 69 years became a contributing agency for the economic, religious and social advancement of this, his country. Is there any comparison, such as Rv. Shuler attempts, between these two races? agree with Rev. Shuler that the Bible for generations have been without a national home. He has been hunted and hounded by the nations of the earth; with his blood he washes the lands of all nations, but today with money as the God the is on top. Jewish persecution dates back before the coming of Christ, but was never, and is not today, based on color or prejudice such as the stint advanced by Bob Shuler. A Jew boy or girl coming out of school applies for a position in an American institution and secures the same on the merit of his or her education, even though he proves the exception in intellect is told by the same institution, "We can't use you on account of your color." (To be continued in next issue) IT IS interesting to note in passing that Pullman Porters are holding forth in their first Annual Convention at California this week. FRIENDS OF AMERICA met Sept. 3rd at Cakalooa, Iowa and discussed present day problems affecting American Friends. At this meeting the American Inter-Racial Peace Committee had on exhibit two original posters by Laura Wheeler Waring and over 150 pieces of literature issued by the committee. SUNDAY EVENING past it was exceedingly pleasant to visit the Epworth League at Hamilton M. E. Church of which the Rev. S. M. Beane is the pastor. Here we contacted a very splendid group of well trained young people, who are laboring for the development of a Christian nation. THE N. A. A. C.

Friday, Sept. 13, 1929 "WINE" BY: THE DEACON "Drink no longer water, but use a Little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thin often infirmites."—1 Tim. 5:13 When Noah left the Ark The first thing on his mind Was to plant a vineyard And get drunk on the wine. King Solomon the wise man To the Israelites said, Look not upon the wine When it is red. He said: Wine is a mocker To crink it is against the rule And whoever is deceived thereby Is an arrant fool. Our Saviour in Gallilee At the wedding feast Found the guest gloomy They could not eat. They filled the water pots Set them in line And the water was turned Into first class wine. The learned Apostile Paul So we are told Issued an injunction In the days of old. The Scripture tells us If I make no mistake He said: Use a little wine For your stomach's sake. "And thine often infirmities" Whatever they may be Use a little wine And these infirmities will flee Some preachers now Both great and small Say it's a crime To drink wine at all Some are preaching With might and main To force the people From wine to abstain In the City Council There's a great bugaboo About the sale of wine And wine tonics too. Brother Ingram the Councilman Made Brother Shuler swear With his right hand raised High in the air. Now whom will you follow When the days are dreary When your heart is sad And your mind is weary Will you follow the preachers And the ory brigade Who mourn the day When wine was made? Or follow the teaching Of the Apostle Paul Who stood up and said To one and all "Drink no longer water" But use a little wine For your stomach's sake And your infirmities oftimes. Follow as you may The road is broad But for me and my house We will follow the Lord You may follow the preacher If you so desire And instead of wine Use the Gospel Fire But for me and myself Especially in bad weather, I'd follow Saint Paul If I had a cellar.

DePriest, our Congressman of whom we are all so proud—a product of the Spirit of Black Chicago. ```markdown ``` You catch that spirit in their walk, their talk, in their very being. An elusive thing it is, shying description and yet so dominant that it strikes you full in the face. These folk, sons and daughters of the south, the bitter, barbous, the cruel south. Driven by the force of their rawhooto to the freedom of the opened air, stumbled into Chicago, footsore, weary of mind and body but with spirit, dauntless. They came a long way, from the extreme south and east. They have heard of the west, "God's" country, the Promised Land. By the Thousands and tens of thousands they come. The news flew back. "Twas too good to keep. They had found a land where a black man might look up and see the stirs. By the hundred of thousands they come, rolled their sleeves and went to work. A song was in their hands and on their lips. The sea on the north. In the west, the desert. Back to the south east, Hell. They had no thought but to make Chicago, theirs. They were certainly willing to be hers. Happy in giving her their all. Twas ten years ago, the phantom passed. You know the story, how the stench of the rottedness of the South polluted the very air of Chicago. It sounded the death knell to the happiness of the thousand of black folk. It left them jobless with hungry children at their elbow imploring with helpless eyes and cries or bread for West, the desert and southeast—Hell. See him square himself. His muscular shoulders are drawn up to a great height. His biceps become balls of vained iron. His legs stand firmly apart, the calves thereof are as knots on a sturdy oak. Look, if you can without shrinking into his face. His eyes have become small cavernous pits of living fire. His skin is drawn taut, shiny on prominent cheek bones. His teeth are clinched, so hard that the muscles swell out and are seen quivering along the taw bone. His silence is ominous, terrible There is an undercurrent of sound, a muttering that caught by attentive ear is interpreted, "I Will Livet" Dared anyone with senses alive good him further? They dared. The Streets ran with blood red blood from the breaking of black skin. Red blood from the slitting of white skin. Ten years ago with guns, knives, rocks, axes or what have you, pandemonium broke loose in Chicago. In that same year it was decided that the Black man should live in Chicago. Walk with me down E. 47th St. or South Parkway. Enter if you please the big department stores. Behold the brown skin floor walkers, the dainty brown maidens behind the counters and in every department walk out again on the Avenue into any drug store, millinery store, shoe store, grocery store 5 and 10 cents store and see the black man given a chance to live through the backing of the white man as you will hardly find in any other place in America. Again let me repeat Hats off To Dusky, Chicago Monthly Report of the Industrial Relations of the L. A. Urban League for Aug. The director of the Industrial Relations Department, Floyd C. Covington, begs to submit the following report for the Department of Industrial Relations Department of the Los Angeles Urban League for the month ending August 31, 1929. An explanation here is due to indicate the reason for the use of "Department of Industrial Relations" in lieu of the former term "Industrial Department." It is noted by those who are conscious of the growth of all activities that it is often necessary to find a name more inclusive of the scope of one's work. The work of this department is more than finding jobs; increasing jobs; or clearing jobs for the race. It is inclusive of all those things which affect the industrial and economic life of the group in the community. Therefore, anything relative to industrial or economic activity naturally absorbs our interest. Hence the reason for the more inclusive name. The high point of our first month The high point of our first month in our second year with this organization follows: (1) Our excellent garment operator making a new opening for herself and other Negro operators of similar experience. Unfortunately, this skilled individual returned East and has left a great void in this industry with her going. (2) The Safeway Chain Stores Company is still seriously considering the experiment of a Negro clerk. (3) The Filmland Fashion Garment Company admitted three Negroes (for the first time) in its establishment as presser and operators respectively. The manager, floorwoman, and head presser are all unusual broadminded persons and were willing to grant us a trial experiment by admitting these three women. (4) The Crown Cab Company is considering an experiment of Negro drivers in the near future. More than thirty Negroes are employed at the main garage of the company. The entire wash-rack department is manned by Negroes. Negro women are employed in aluminum department. (5) A large meat market catering to Negro patrons is moving to a new location in the district and is considering, for the first time, the inclusion of Negro employees. (6) Last March we placed two Negroes in the new Swift refinery—One remained and has made an unusual record, and is now foreman over eight other men. (7) A new Drive-in market in the Negro district has captured our interest for this month. Every effort is being made to make the owners of the concessions in this market realize that it is continued exploitation to take the major portion of their business from Negroes in the district without hiring any in return. Here again our graphic illustration "Economic Balance" is being used to great advantage. We are using every means to encourage Negroes to capture their own buying power and make this a basis for training themselves in business technique. (8) Several of our own businesses were given special men for their work as the result of our efforts. The White Way (By: A. N. P.) Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 10.—The Eleventh Annual Convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc., has been brought to a close and the musical delegates have departed for various sections to assume their respective duties for the year. Every convention for the past ten years has possessed strong features, but perhaps the most glorifying circumstance connected with the meeting for this year was the most abundant support of many of the more prominent white citizens of Fort Worth, the city of the great Sunday afternoon mass meeting held at the Coliseum to the presentation of a selected group of delegates to the Rotary Club in the Texas Hotel, this was apparent. The meeting occupied the customary six days. On Monday evening was the welcome program at which time representatives from various state organizations expressed warm sentiments of welcome, including the Fort Worth Conservatory of Music represented by Mrs. Frank Naugle, soprano, who is the first Caucasian soloist to contribute a musical number in the history of these annual meetings. The high spot of this function was reached when W. B. Fishburn, head of the local Master Dyers and Cleaners Firm, was introduced to the audience. Mr. Fishburn spoke very wittily and suggested a spiritual. It was then that one experienced something of a distinct thrill when Florence Cole Talbert, prominent so prano, surprised the audience during its spontaneous burst of song with the incidental solo parts. On Tuesday afternoon the junior representation was held in a very interesting manner while on Tuesday evening the first state program was held. On Wednesday afternoon the city roped off its main business street in order that its citizenry might witness Cleaners and Dyers were furnished with a driver and solicitor. A small tailoring establishment was given a solicitor. We suggest this to indicate that the service we are endeavoring to render is being appreciated by both races, and since this is our chief means of advertising it is becoming more and more effective. (9) It is interesting to note that the chauffeur whom we replaced as tile contractor is doing an attractive business and is being appraised and demanded by both white and Negro contractors. (10) A special address "Weighed in the Balances and Found Wanting" was given before a large Negro audience on Sunday, August 25th. This talk will be used continually before Negro audiences of the fortunes with their own opportunities, limitations, and apparent, apathy towards their own situation. (11) We have five Garment Manufacturers with whom we have co-operated who will take Negro operators if, and when, they can be trained or found. The sad situation is that few opportunities exist for Negro women to get the skill; particularly the factory experience. We have numerous factories with whom we have co-operated that will help Negro pressers. It is apparent that our effort will have to continue to seek training facilities for Negroes in all lines of endeavor. Lack of skilled individuals is our biggest handicap. The month of August was very eventful and promises to bear fruit in subsequent months with proper concentration. We are limited (not meant for complaint) for facilities for our department. More often than not is equivalent to making bricks without straw. We mentioned at the outset that these were our high points for the month. By them we must be judged until more tangible results have been consummated. an interestingly prepared civic parade in which floats appear, portraying Negro spirituals. On Wednesday evening branches from different parts of the country gave a concert, and Thursday afternoon the annual new talent program was given, consisting of composers and solistists hitherto not introduced to the association. Florence Manning's program consisted of offerings by Negro artists of National and international recognition. Florence Cole Talbert, soprano; Louis Jones, violinist, and Jessie Covington pianist. Friday found the delegations in Dallas in the afternoon at a picnic and in the evening at virtually a duplication of the concert by the prominent soloists at Fort Worth the night before. The mornings throughout the week were devoted to business and to conferences at which Miss Alva Lohead, supervisor of music in the public schools of Fort Worth and Dr. Albert Venting, professor of Hymology, Southwestern Baptist Seminary, thru the courtesy of Professor I. E. Reynolds, also of the same institution, spoke. There were two painting exhibits held on successive afternoons and ad ditional broadcasted evening program and Sunday School affairs. The attendance on the part of the delegation was good although it was suggested that motor parties be or organized in future years and concerts be given en route to and from the convention as a means of not only stirring up more interest among musicians throughout the country in the work of the National Negro Association as well as among communities in general. The attendance at the free concerts was always a capacity one. But there was a perceptible falling off at the final paid concert, so much so that the National Association may finally be forced to a policy of charging at all concerts. The most important contribution of the convention was the discovery of the abundant gifts of Mrs. Manuel Fowler, president of the Texas Association of Negro musicians, who planned and directed the staging of the convention. BY: ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M. D. (For the A. N. P.) Upon this subject, Dr. C. E. Turner writes most interestingly. A little while ago a parent said, "I hear a great deal about health education laterly. I don't understand where all this need for health education has originated. Isn't it true that the average length of life has about doubled in the last 150 years? When I was a youngster on a farm in the middlewest I had none of this health education. Why can't we let our children grow naturally by having to train them to do this and to do that? Why do the public schools nowadays have a health training program? What is the answer to some of these questions? Yes, the span of life has more than doubled. In 1789 it was about 25 years. In 1921 it was 58 years. The process of lengthening life is going on even more rapidly today and the reason you hear more about health education is because sanitariums are coming to recognize that sanitation of water and food supplies and the use of vaccines and antitoxines are not enough in themselves. The study of public health problems shows that the development of an intelligent and hygienic mode of living by the individual is extremely important, not only in reducing the death rate but also in happiness rate through the more vigorous, happy and buoyant health to be obtained through healthful living. The nature of the life of man is changing. The world has doubled its population in the last 100 years. The majority of us now work in shops, offices, or factories while all but our most immediate ancestors have always lived out of doors. The boy on the farm a generation or two ago had plenty of fruit vegetables and milk. He excercised out of doors. He had some time by himself without the excitement of city life. After supper there was not much to do and rather poor light in which to read. It was Wilson Re-Elected Grand Exalted Ruler (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 9—My boys are here! I will win on the first ballot." So declared J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of the W., the day before the annual convention of the order here and so he did, even though the first ballot extended over a period of eight hours. For the past eight years, the grand exalted ruler, J. Finley Wilson, to use his own expression, has come to the convention with his gun loaded for bear and each year he has returned home with his game bag filled. This year was no exception, but never before has the grand exalted ruler made such a killing as he did this year. This is true not only from the standpoint that he annihilated his greatest and most formidable opponent, Casper Holstein of New York City, but in going so bagged the country's most brilliant array of politicians, such as Congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois, State Senator Adelbort H. Roberts of Illinois, Alderman A. Thompson of Mayor Thompson of Chicago, Judge Albert B. George, Chicago's nemis to speeders and lawbreakers, J. Dalmus Steele of New York City. These gentlemen had been inducted into the proceedings to champion the cause of Casper Holstein, who was running on the platform, "a solid business administration with the idea that it is more blessed to give than to receive." The Grand Exalted Ruler did not have the support of these who are accustomed to play politics in a practical way and who are wont to figure in municipal, county, and state elections "up north" but cast his lot in the hands of the brethern from the South, whose chief opportunity these days is to play politics in fraternal affairs. These legionnaires, under the leadership of Mississippi's Republican national commiteeeman, Perry W. Howard, proved that they were the peers of the suave urbanities who were leading the fight in behalf of the opposition. The election overshadowed every other activity and from the beginning of the convention, it was evident that the most bitter fight in the history of Elkdon was to be staged. Holstein won the first round when he circulate de some forty thousand pamphlets declaring that the grand exalted ruler had sundered the funds of the order. The grand exalted ruler countered by suspending the Chicago lodges for non-payment of dues; this suspension was later removed and charges and countercharges, flow fast and thick with Holstein apparently holding the advantage. With the announcement by the grand auditor that there was some $29,000 in the treasury, an amount which had not been sent to Grand Treasurer Martin, the tide of battle turned. The committees appointed by the grand exalted ruler, and paid at the rate of $7.00 per diem, began to work new life and things began to look rather dark. In fact, so dark did they look that Congressman De Priest suddenly remembered an im- easy to get to bed early. Today high pressure living reaches the child as well as the adult. Education in health demands that we shall train the child to adjust himself to the kind of environment in which he lives in such a way that vigorous health may be maintained. The school undertakes to go hand in hand with the home in this training of the child. Certainly you want the school to support you in the habit training you are undertaking at home. You are trying to develop habits of cleanliness, good posture, clear thinking, mental health, and you do not want the school to destroy what you are trying to do for the child. The school can help you in these things. The parent today is also warranted in demanding, n addition to the properly functioning health department, a program in the public school through which it shall assist the home in the positive constructive health training of the child. portant speaking engagement in Bridgeport, Connecticut and withdrew from the convention. The opposition scored heavily when they won the fight for the vote to be taken by the Australian ballot, but even this advantage was swept aside when the grand exalted ruler proclaimed: "Soought it be. That simply menas that many of these who have Brother Holstein's dollars in their pockets will cast their vote for Wilson." After seven hours of oratory in nominating various candidates, the balloting began and for eight hours, sleepy and weaky members of the anterted heard passed through the voting booths, with policeman looking on and cast their ballot. When the count was made the grand exalted ruler had won with a majority of more than 500 votes. Not only did he win, but the election proved a complete rout of the opposition, including J. C. Martin, the belligerent grand treasurer of the order, who hails from Chicago. Martin threw a bombshell in the ranks of the order a few weeks ago with the statement that the treasury of the order was barefit of funds due to the profligacy of the grand exalted ruler. So the grand exalted ruler placed Henry Warner of New York in the field, who was elected over Martin. Judge William C. Hueston was re-elected commissioner of education, with Armond Scott, of Washington, D. C. as his opponent, and James Cooper of Chicago won over Dr. Charles Marshall of Washington for grand auditor. The 1930 convention will be held in Detroit, Michigan. Jewelry Thieves Arrested In Harlem (BY, A. N. K.) New York, Sept. 10—Commissioner Whalen's uncoverer police are receiving credit for the arrest of the most daring jewel burglar apprehended in Harlem and are dividing the $10,000 reward posted for the arrest of the men. Monday afternoon, three detectives from the strong arm squad swooped down on a barbershop at 140th street and Seventh avenue and arrested four men: William D. Smith; Thomas Wright; James Salley and Byron Jones, charging the mwth the robbery of the summer home of Mrs. Sydney E. Hutchinson of Beverly, Massachusetts. At the time of the arrest, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of precious stones were recovered in the shop. Jones, who later admitted stealing the jewelry, is an ex-convict from the New Jersey State Penitentiary. Salley is one of the proprietors of the barbershop in which the jewels were found. Smith, a graduate of Meharry Dental School who recently passed the state examinatin in Pennsylvania, is the other proprietor of the shop. Wright happened to be in the shop at the time of the arrest which was oramatically staged to include all of those, under suspicion. It is alleged that Jones, who alias Beaucaire gained him admittance to the shop, was the mastermind behind the theft. He stated that he alone robbed the house going through the drawers in the bedrooms carefully on the night of August 10th, taking only such jewels as were of value. One of the items taken was a strand of perfectly matched pearls, 139 of them all told, valued at $139,000, or one thousand dollars, per pearl. When questioned by Commissioner Whalen, Jones admitted his guilt and sought to relieve the other men arrested with him, but too much talk caused Salley to be held. This chap further implicated a fifth man, Thomas Wilson, whom Salley claims purchased a ruby ring from Jones. Wright and Smith were released, but Jones and Salley were held for further investigation when arraigned in the Heights Court last Thursday morning. "GOES ON VACATION" Miss Helen E. Lee prominent Druggist also popular in business and Social circles leaves Sunday morning on the Daylight Limited for San Francisco for a short vacation. UNLOCKING THE MIND By Carl Echols Some say that the mind is a store house of all our mental experiences. We all, surely, experience at some time moments of gradure, of profunidity, of emotional rapture. Usually these instances come and go with such rapidity that 'ere we are aware of their presence, they have disappeared submerged in subconsciousness, if you please. Such rare visitation, such extraordinary moments of inspiration and illumination disclose to our duller senses that in the unchartered area of MIND there dwells a greater abundance of thoughts and feelings than we are aware of: If such be the case, the secret of success and happiness would be to fine means (keys) with which our mental chests may be opened. Religion, music, poetry, scenery, and trouble are a few keys, as it were, that quiet easily lend themselves in unlocking the mind. However different the key, the result is the same. To be gripped in the throes of some trouble, to face conditions that seem insurmountable, is usually to be in close possession of keys that give entrance to the mental warehouse. Trouble, like meditation and music, religion and art, has a tendency to overwhelm. To overcome the power of existence, to complete the psychic circuit to unlock the mind. Brings Action Against Two Restaurants for Segregation (By The Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 10—A criminal action against William F. Jones, manager of the Will-O-Launch Co. 89, The Arcade, and a suit against Mills Restaurant for discrimination are being arranged by Eugene Francis Cheeks, Managing Editor of The National Guide, who was refused service at the two restaurants. On August 28th, Mr. Cheeks secured a warrant for William Jones who refused to serve him on August 28th, after having words with the manager on Monday, the 26th, with reference to eating. Three days later, accompanied by Miss Cordella A. White, and Mr. Talbot White, Mr. Cheeks enter Mills Restaurant at 315 Euclid Avenue, and was refused service. Each one has placed the case in the hands of lawyers and expects to bring separate suits. On four other occasions, Mr. Cheeks has had trouble with restaurants in the downtown section near his office. About eight years ago, he was refused service in the same Mills Restaurant. A few years later, James O. Mills, the proprietor ran for Lleutenburg and spread the news of the discrimination to Ohio's Negro voters, and after the campaign, the campaign messenger for Mr. Mills admitted that the propa ganda had defeated his candidate. IAN BRILLIANT AFFAIR The Musicians reception and Musical at the Y. M. C. A. given in honor of John A. Gray, pianist and teacher, recently returned from Europe was one of the most beautiful and largely attended affair of the year. The spacious lobby, beautifully decorated with flowers formed an unusually attraction setting for the program which was participated in by some of the city's best musicians, among whom were: Clarence Muse, A. C. Bibrowne Bernice Stont Lawson, Juanita Cradock, Fred Skinner, Wm. Starks, Nelle Johnson, Esther and Anna Ma Griffith, Lilas Hart, Luvenia Patterson Evelyn Warren, Eugene Page, and John Gray. The hosts and hostesses were a group of local musicians sponsored by Lilas G.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Friday, Sept. 12, 1929 SPRT CALIFORNIA PAGE EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF BY: ART HAMILTON COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES Lincoln Theatre Opens With A Bang ```markdown ``` LAFAYETTE PLAYERS OPENING SOON AT LINCOLN THEATRE Announcement was made today that the Lincoln Theater, which has been closed during the summer months, will hold its gala fall opening with the new Lafayette Players on Monday evening, September 23. According to Manager Carpentier, the new Lafayette Players, who came here direct from New York for a limited engagement only, are undoubtedly the greatest cast of race artists ever seen in the West and it is expected that they will create a greater sensation than any company ever seen in the past. Headed by such stars as Abbie Mitchell, who recently returned from a sensational European tour where she scored a signal success, and Andrew Bishop New York's matinee iool who is generally conceded to be the race's greatest leading man, this company is on a par with the finest in the country. The management has chosen for the opening production what is termed the most "spectacular play of the age," "EXPERIENCE," a play which will bring heart-throbs, laughs and tuneful melodies in large numbers to the audience. Supporting the two featured stars is a great cast of race artists including Edna Barr, Margaret Habbard Brown, Billy Andrews, Lionel Mongas, Rupert Marks, Alice Dixon, Barrington Carter, Edwin Anderson, Armitine Latimer, and George Brown. Tickets for the opening week will be placed on sale at the box office on Monday, September 16, according to the management, and starting on that date the Lincoln's policy of allowing persons making season reservations to select their own seats will again be placed in effect. San Bernardino Fight News Baby Sal Soria San Bernardino's hard hitting 130 pounder lost the first round in his come back last Thursday night. Soria lost on a foul to Bruno Lacurina, after having a certain victory in sight. The Babe was having his first fight in months and was out to start a new in the give and take game. It was his first fight since Eddie Mack the Denver college student had put his lights out in five cautions. A striking coincidence this Bruno Lardurini person is a stable mate of Macks. The fight was all sewed up for Sal in the fifth heat and the Rocky Mountain boy was resting on the floor with his hands listening to the count. At eight he startte to get up Sal was so anxious to start his record off with a clear slate he let Ladurim have a grazing left to the log. Bruno wasn't hurt but it was a soul nevertheless and there wasn't any thing for the referee to do give the fight to Mack's stable mate. That makes it two to nothing for the Rocky Mountain interest against Sal and his hustling manager Grafton Leabo. That was rather tough break for the hard socking Mex. That toul is a blemish on his comeback record and beyond a doubt he will draw down a months suspension. FREEDDIE HAWKINS FIGHTS Another San Bernardino boy heads the card at the Orange Belt Arena at San Bernardino this week. At this writing the opponent that is to go up against Hawkins has not been named. Hawkins is in Sal's stable and is a hard hitting tightweight. He thinks that he can beat Sal and it wouldn't suprised me to see Freddie take the Mexican down the line if they ever met. In his last fights Hawkins has made more than an impressive showing. In a grudge battle with Leaf Porter of Los Angeles he almost stopped the Avenue boy in the ninth round of a ten round go. JOHNNY ADAMS THROUGH Johnny Adams the erstwhile Monn- DRIVER tain Lion is through or by all means he should be through after the fight he put up two weeks ago at his home town when he lost to Walter Dunham the Kansas City boy. The referee had to stop the brawl in the fourth canto to save Adams from a terrific beating. Johnny's eye was closed and bleeding like a stuck hog. Although he was in the pink of physical condition the old Lion had just played out and couldn't stand the gaff. FIRST AND LAST IN HOME TOWN Johnny started fighting in San Bernardino, his home town and beyond a doubt he finished fighting in the same place he started. In fact he was so wrapped up in his home town he could not stand to be away from the town any length of time. His manager Tom Jones would take him east and have several big shots fined up for him and just about the time the fight was to be pulled off the Mountain Lion would develop a case of homesickness for his old haunts in San Bernardino and would pick up and leave. He always was a soruce of worry to his manager He wouldn't train, although he was a fighting fool when he got in the ring. He knew nothing but fight. When Jones first took Adams over he had a potential lightweight champ in Johnny, but as time went on the Mountain Lion did as much growing in the "Bright Lights" as he did in the Gym and the ring he soon played out of the Championship class. He made comeback after comeback, some good and some not so forty, still he stayed in the game giving the best he had in him. Some of the times he would put up some of the battles that made him famous from coast to coast and then again he wouldn't be in shape and it would be too bad. TRIED ONCE TOO OFTEN In the midst of one of his many comebacks, Adams signed for a bounty with Bing Dunham for ten rounds or less and Dunham made it considerable less by stopping Johnny in four short, but betic heats. Although they had to call a halt to the battle to save the Lion from being injured permanently he was fighting up to the last hitch. A real fighting man. And he fought his first and last in the old home town, to end a more than colorful career. Stecher To Meet Gus Sonnenberg For Championship Joe Steecher the seissors expert is to meet Gus Sonnenberg the butting heavyweight grip of the world, instead of "Ed" Strangler Lewis as first stated. Steecher gets the chance because of the toe hold he put on the Strangler in their bolt a week ago. The seissors man almost broke Lewis's ankle and he put him out of commission for a month or so, although Ed won the match. The Nebraskan was so busy twisting Lewis's toe he got careless and let the Strangler work around and get the other foot in a position to kick and he let him have a right under the chin, knocking him flat against Lewis. Lewis then fell on him for the ducking fall. **LIMPS FROM RING** In the fall Lewis limped from the ring. In fact he had one H— of a time getting under the roops down into the dressing room, so sever was the in jury on the ankle. This will be Stecher's first time to meet the new champ and some battle is predicted. Joe has a record of never loosing to a defending champion, and slams to make this no exception. MOST SCIENTIFIC IN GAME Joe Stecher holds the honor of being the most scientific wrestler in the game today. And up to date, nothing has been able to beat the new champ and his style of wrestling. Maybe Joe's science will solve the problem. GOOD SUPPORTING CARD Lou Daro has signed up a good supporting card to back up the self out main event. Nick Lutze the popular beach guard from Venice is signed in the semi-windup to battle O'Malley the Ohio Football star, who steals some of the champions stuff. O'Malley is a butting star also and likes to put his man out by butting in the earl. The big house on Grand will be sold out for 'it's match and tickets will be at a premium days before the lightning storm only, one fall has been scored SPEEDY DADO WHIPS ERNIE PETERS IN TEN ROUNDS Speedy Dado the latest sensation from the Philippines won from tough little Ernie Peters the Chicago Indian. Tuesday night, in a bout that was almost as fast as the Wilcat Carter-Goldie Hess rawl of a week ago. Little Speedy the brown doll threw shoves all over the place and was on top of the Indian all of the time. The Island ind floored Peters in the second canto for a count of eight, but that made the little red skin come back all the harder and he fought so ferociously he almost evened the count. PETERS TRIES HARD You have to give it to that Indian from Chi, he is one game little guy. Although he was on the short end of the count from the second round on he kept trying and trying. Peters rushed Speedy something terrible, but the Bilinino was right there with a rush just a little rusher than the one Ernie put on. The boys fought all over the ring. These little men must carry a wallow for some little fellows. Dado shot some rights to the line that jailed Peters from here to there and Emile throws some blows to the body that did Speedy no good. DADO FAST Frank Churchill's new champion from the Islands out in the middle of the Pacific has words of class. There is mother but class written all over the kid. There is color in every move he makes. Speedy throws rights and lefts like a windmill. The Chiccoon almost went down again in the rocky sevens when Dado leveled that right on him square on the link, he stood up and came back frenzied harder than ever. The Filipino came out of the scrap without a scratch, but Peters suffered a cut over the right eye and his nose showed the marks of left hands. GANGS OF FILIPINOS THERE Every Filipino from the colony was there pulling for the brown doll to win. Every time he landed a right the galley went wild. And when Peters went down for the count of eight they almost tore on the roast. The gallery was nacked and jammed, but there was plenty of snow on the main floor. SAMMY JACKSON STOPS LARRY MURPHY Sammy Jackson, Goldie Hess's stable mate and the latest black sensation made it three in a row at the Grand Avenue Palace. Tuesday, when he put Larry Murphy's lights out in the fifth round of a six-round bout. Jackson hit too often and hard for Murphy and he couldn't stand the floor couple of times. One for his body of nine, and again for a shorter count. Larry is a tough old war horse, but Sammy was too young and hit too hard for him. Jackson chased him all over the ring and was giving him a bed beating when the referee stepped in and stopped it. Murphy gave Sammy a good time in the second when he stood toe to toe to toe and slugged with the colored boy. The rough exchange had the fans standing on their heads. When Sammy gets hurt he fights like a Tiger. PRELIMINARIES GOOD Manuel Trentino oat-slugged Sammy Seaman and took the duke in one of the fours. Jess Jesquez took Mike Cardova in the other. Wally Fraser came from behind to wince Thayer in the Special. That wove the lines. The lines were Wally had the old punch and he rocked Bill several times. GOLDIE HESS-EDDIE MACK Goldie Hess and Biddle Mack were introduced as next week's main eventers. Mack and Hess were first sign-ed to go to the post the night Hess beat Carter. Mack came all the way from Denver to take this match. He had packed up all of his duds and was going to Chicago to enter Law School, but changed his mind about going right away and decided to take this shot before going to the Windy City. MACK SHOULD WIN Eddle should have little or no trouble winning from the Gold Bag, for these reasons: He is a better box against the champion and that was the fall scored by Ed "Strangler" Lewis in their first match, when Sonenberg LINCOLN THEATRE Gala Opening Monday Evening, September 23rd of The New Lafayette Players DIRECT FROM NEW YORK FOR LIMITED ENGAGEMENT Presenting as their opening production THE MOST SPECTACULAR PLAY OF THE AGE ‘EXPERIENCE’ —Featuring— ABBIE MITCHELL—ANDREW BISHOP —Supported by— The greatest cast of race artists ever seen in the West Edna Bart—Margaret Hubbard Brown, Billy Andrews Lionel Monagas, Rupert Marks, Alice Dixon, Barrington Carter, Edwin Anderson, Arminthime Latimer George Brown TICKETS ON SALE—MON., SEPT. 16th Peerless CABS MUtual 4141 er in fact he is a super boxer rated on a par with Tod Morgan when it comes to boxing; he is a harder hitter, this was shown us when he put Doc Snell out in about four heats. But then again you never can talk about this Hess person, just when you have him tabbed to get his ears beat off he comes back and stages a tenth round rally and takes your money for a ride. And then again you have to look at the records of the two fighters. Take for instance the nights the two boys had with the champ Tod Morgan. Hess best Morgan badly, while Eddie held the champion to a draw. What are you going to do now? Funny rackett this box fighting. And hard to pick a winner, would be saying nothing. Neil Clisby Beats Dynamite Jackson Neil Clisby, the California Thunder, bolt came back to beat Dynamite Jackson at San Diego last Friday night in a ten-round bout. The bout was slow throughout. Clisby was far too smart for the young kid Jackson and he tied him an at will. It was a bad match for Dynamite. He had no business in the same ring with Clysty. Nell knows far too much for a kid of Jackson's experience. Dynamite is a good kid, but he has not forget the men that Nell had gone up against. Jimmy Black won over Young Nationista the wild swinging Filipino last Wednesday night at Ontario. Black won as he pleased, being headed only once in the fight, although it was a jip and tuck battle all the way through. This is Jimmy's fourth straight win, infact his slate is clean all the way through this year. He is fighting like the little champ he is. Nationista is some fighter himself and has fought the best in the game. It was a battle of a left hand against the right and the port side won. Out. The left and the port side won the right. The right was an uneasy quality being effective only if it landed. The Filipino swings a wild right and if it lands it is curtain, but if his opponent is any kind of a boxer at it all doesn't land often. And Black caught it only once in the fight and that was in the eighth, when Nash let one loose and it caught Jimmy square on the big Black wavered for a moment but came back strong and was not bothered any more. Black worked his sweet little left hand over time and had the Filipino walking around in a daze all during the bout from the effects of too much left hand. Jimmy cut Nash up with the lashing left paw and the Filipino wasn't any too good to look at when the gong ending the tenth canto rang. Duvall's boy fought the best battle of his career and looked like any big time champ. By winning over the 1s- land boy he kept his slate clean in two ways. It kept a black mark as a deft from being chalked up in the record book and it added another Filipino scalp to his belt, that holds many nun. Janny has never been defeated by a Filipino. He seems to have that jinx on the little brown boys from across the Pacific. CHALKY WRIGHT WINS Chalky Wright, Black's stable mate won his fight in the special event, by putting his man out in the early stages of the fight. Both of these boys belong to Eo Duvall and seem to be headed for bigger and better things. HEADS NOTED QUARTETT 19 Mann and Rosamoad Now Head Noted 'Plantation Four' Formerly 'Utica Jubilee Singers' Another famous Georgian ascends dizzy heights, in the musical world of fame. This time Los Angeles music lovers will have occasion to applaud the marvelous Baritone voice of Richard D. Mann, a native of Curryville, Ga. Critics here and abroad have loudly proclaimed Mr. Mann. He has had the advantage of study abroad in company with his world-famous cousin, Roland Hayes. Mr. Mann has had the pleasure of appearing in star roles before some of the most distinguished concert audiences in America. His radio concert numbers have been rendered in the French, German, Italian and English languages. Mr. Mann came here a short while ago with the famous Utica Jubilee Singers. The singers at that time being under the tutilege of Mr. Patton. Since, however, they have been re-organized and are now headed by Messrs. Mann and Rosamond. The arrangement of the voices are as follows: R. D. Mann, bass; Quinten Rosamond, 2nd tenor; Frank Winfrey, 1st tenor; and C. C. Chatman, baritone. This writing marks the third year these members have been together. Each of these members like Mr. Mann, can lay considerable claim to having distinguished himself as a soloist. As a dramatic baritone singer, Mr. Mann has few superiors. However, it is not claimed that many of our local music lovers have not already heard these marvelously blended voices. Radio fans have undoubtedly marveled at their sweetness. They are classed as exclusive artists by the radio station K. F. W. B. Every Wednesday night from 9 to 10 P. M. they are the star feature artists for the Southern Fantasy hour. They direct the entire program, which consists of a girl's quartette, a jazz band, and a four-man dialogue act. The Plantation Four is at present quartered at the Dunbar Hotel, where they receive their fan mall and numerous engagement offers. Angelenos who happen to be the guest audience where these noted singers appear during the coming concert season, will indeed be most fortunate. Their melody is a real rarity. Santiago Zorrilla has gone Eset to try his lock in the fastic game. The breaks were none too good for the Panamanian here. He had lost to Golde Dess in ten rounds and had been held to a dew by Ray Montoya the Mexica ace from San Diego. Santiago had been tabbed an easy winner over Ray, and they almost had a riot down there when the third man in the ring gave Zorrilla a draw with the Mex. Railroad D Clatte R BY CHAS. L. UPTON It wont be long now, thats what Mr. L. A. Coffin was hung to himself when I slipped up on him last week, so I asked him why all the melody, to which he replied, in two more months I am due to go on a pension, and my worries will then cease forever more. I can shoot doves to my hearts content. And it will be nobody's business. Mr. Coffin has made a very enviable record with the Pullman Company, of which I will tell you in a later issue, but the main thing that would be interesting news right now is, who will take his place? It seems to me that they are a lot of men operating on the Lark who are eligible but they can not make up their minds to turn loose of that good gravey, so we will just have to wait and see, one thing that you can bank on, though, it wont be me. MR. TAFT CATCHES A YELLOW TALE Young Taft now operating on the Graf-Zeppelin line 18% during his layover in San Diego dropped down to the rolling Pacific with his trusty root and line, and had the misfortune of catching a 'yellow-tale, several other porters running down to San Diego have been trying to catch this yellow-tale also somewhat of a sheik seems to have had the best go, I hope I am not misunderstood. A yellow is a FISH. The fellows tell me that Taft had to cut the fish up in about three slices in order to get him home, and used all the ice buckets on the trunk to cut his cold. Passengers leaving the airport morning complained of a fistic odor, but the Kute Mr. Taft told them that it was his Yellow Tale, now laugh that off. PULLMAN HOT SHOTS Wm.
