First Colored Woman Flies Across The Continent
VOLUME 42 First Co
RACE WOMAN MAKES HISTORY
Last Tuesday morning when the great 3-motored passenger carrying Transcontinental Air Transport winged its way out of its local airport at 8:45 A. M. and rising to an altitude of some two thousand feet headed its nose toward New York, little did the officials of the company realize that they had aboard as a passenger, the first Negro—man or woman—to journey over the air route across the continent to New York.
To Mrs. Beatrice Owens, well known in and out Los Angeles in the movie world goes this historical honor. Mrs. Owens, who is connected with the services of Delores Del Rio, who at present enjoys the distinction of being the most popular movie actress before the public was hurriedly called to New York, where the famous actress is Milled to open up a personal appearance engagement in one of the leading theaters.
Mrs. Owens is one of the few women of our group who enjoys a position such as she holds and her ability to make good has made her services in demand.

Mrs. Owens is the first of our group to show signs of being able to fill the position made vacant by the death of Hattie Tabor several years ago. She arrived in New York, Thursday morning and expects to be absent from the city six weeks. Previous to this trip she had but just returned from a three months' tour of the principal cities in the East.
Sportsman Bawled Out
Considerable excitement was created Tuesday night of last week at the Gordon Apts. on Griffin Avenue when a white woman, known as Easter, visited the spacious apartments of Bob Selski, well-known sportsman and immediately proceeded to wreck same and publicly denounce the gentleman in question for some grievance she held against him.
Excitement ran high for some time during which time the atmosphere was highly charged with questionable English used by the woman who claims she had been cast aside. Finally the police arrived and conditions became normal with the departure of those responsible for the noise.
Phyllis Wheatley Penned Famous Phrase
By (A. N. P.)
New York City, Sept. 4—The phrase "First in peace" commonly used in characterizing George Washington was penned in 1775 by Phyllis Wheatley in a poem about the Father of this country, was disclosed recently by the Pathfinder Magazine.
In an article concerning this disclosure, the Pathfinder states that the phrase was first penned by the Slave girl poetess, when she referred to George Washington as "First in peace and honors." The poem was sent to the leader of the Continental armies who wrote Phyllis Wheatley as follows:
"I thank you most sincerely for your polite notice of me in the elegant lines you inclosed, and however underserving I may be of such panegyric, the style and manner exhibit striking proof of your poetic talents in honor of which and as a tribute justly due you I would have published the poem had I not been apprehensive that while I only meant to give the world this new instance of your genius, I might have incurred the imputation of vanity. This and nothing else determined me not to give it place in public prints. If you ever come to Cambridge or near headquarters I shall be happy to see a person so favored by the muses and to whom nature has been so liberal and beneficent in her dispensations. I am, with great respect, your obedient, humble servent, George Washington."
Received Painful Accident in Auto Collision
Mrs. Sarah Harris, 5508 Central Ave. was the victim of a serious accident in an automobile accident Tuesday afternoon while driving south on Central Ave.
She was treated at the Emergency hospital for minor but painful bruises and injuries who returned to her home.
ABUSIVE MOTORMAN STRIKES WOMAN
L. A. RY. MOTORMAN ELUDES EN
RAGED CITIZENS AFTER
GROSS INSULTS
Protests were being made early Monday A. M. to street railway officials, on account of the abusive conduct of one of its employees toward the persons of Mr. Stanley Franklin and wife, Mildred Franklin.
It appears, according to witnesses, that on the night of Sunday, September 1st, about 8:30 P. M., the couple who were riding on a south-bound "U" car, gave the proper signal to the motorman that they wished to get out at 54th street. The request was ignored by the motorman. When the pair protested, the motorman became abusive and continued to drive past the next car stop; further protestations brought about a shove, or slap, from the street car employee to the person of Mrs. Franklin.
At this stake the husband interfered; for his pains he was struck with the controller. They were thereupon ushered unceremoniously out of the car.
When the car on its return reached the vicinity of 40th and Central, enraged citizens attempted to hold the motorman for the police. He succeeded in eluding them. However, some more observant person obtained what is considered the numeral identification of the mortorman, it being 221.
Finding of Aged Man's Body Leads to Arrest Of Three
By (A. N. P.)
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 4—Following an investigation of the Killing of Abner Thomas, 65-year old man, Charles Bryent, Abner Johnson, and Alfred Robinson were arrested here suspected of the murder.
The aged man was found early Tuesday morning in his little hut near the Martin Diary Farm, where he was employed, with his throat cut from ear to ear. An open knife was laying near him and several bottles of liquor were in the room.
When Thomas failed to show up at work Tuesday morning a messenger was sent to the hut to see about him. Knocks at the door brought no response and several neighbors forced the door open and found his lifeless body in a pool of blood. According to testimony at the inquest, the trio arrested were seen leaving the hut Monday night and this disclosure led to their arrest.
ALLEN WHITE AT TEMPTS SUICIDE
Allen White, well known about the city, attempted suicide on last Friday following a spell of despondency brought about by financial difficulties in the courts located at 36th and Griffin avenue.
His leaving a farewell note is the cause of his being alive today for it was discovered before the gas had opportunity to complete its deadly work. The police were called and he was rushed to the hospital where the doctors, after a hard struggle, succeeded in saving his life. He is at present in the Psychopathic ward under observation.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1929
Chester A. Franklin, vitrolic editor of the Kansas City Call, who is touring the const, was a welcome visitor to this office on last Tuesday. He gave the paint the once over and expressed himself gratified to witness the activity in evidence. Mr. Franklin is himself a veteran and conducts one of the greatest journals of the country, fully equipped with a $50,000.00 Goss Multiple press.
Britain Investigating Discrimination Against Chicago Editor
Chicago, Sept. 4-News dispatches received here state that the charges that thirty hotels in London had refreshed accommodations to Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of the Chicago Defender and his wife, Mrs. Helen Abbott, were being investigated by Prime Minister McDonald. The reports o the discrimination were submitted to the Prime Minister by James Marley, labor member of parliament. According to reports, Editor and Mrs. Abbott were denied accommodations by the hotels because of their race. In some cases where accommodations had been arranged for before arrival, the Chicagoans were advised that there was some mistake and in one they were permitted to take the rooms and later were asked to vacate as there had been some mistake. After a round of the hotels, Mr. and Mrs. Abbott went to a friend's home in Forrest Hills.
"AGGREY OF AFRICA" PUBLISHED
"AGGREY OF AFRICA" PUBLISHED
By (A. N. P.)
Chicago, Sept. 4—Writing with all force and insight which won widespread comment in 1928 for "The Golden Stoil" Edwin W. Smith had added the zest of personal narrative in relating the story of J. E. Kuggyer Aggrey in "Aggrey of Africa," just published by Doubleday, Doran. He was selected by the Flicks Stokes Fund to prepare the biography of the man who was twice member of its commission to Africa. Royalties will be paid to Dr. Aggrey's widow to be used to助 the education of their children and the advancement of the cause which Dr. Aggrey furthered.
Dr. Smith, whose scholarship, authorship, and work in Africa have won him wide renown, makes the following statement in the preface of the book:
"It has been my endeavor to set Aggrey's life against its African and American background. Many historical and other references which might seem out of place in some biographies are here necessary if Aggrey is to be understood. I have had no desire to paint an localized picture, but have striven rather to potray Aggrey as he was a very human being. I leave it to readers to draw the moral of his life. I would here only point out that this story must give pause to such writers as Dr. McDougall, who declares that the African race "has never produced an individual of really high mental and moral endowments, even when brought under foreign influences," and adds: "It would seem that it is incapable of producing such individuals."
The following are facts gleaned from a biographical table i n the book: Aggrey was born at Anamabu, Gold Coast, in 1875, and he died in New York in 1927. He was baptized in 1883 and enterend school the same year. In 1891 he was an assistant teacher, in 1896 an interpreter on the Ashanti Expedition. In 1898 he went to America to enter Livingstone College, where he was graduated in 1902. He was orained in 1903 and the following year was enrolled in Columbus University. He married in 1905, received M. A. and D. D. degrees in 1912, accepted a postgraduate in 1915, spent 1920-21 in Africa, took the M. A. degree at Columbia in 1923, and was in Africa, took themades) agi was in Africa from 1924-27 after passing examination for the Ph. D. degree form Columbia. Some of the sayings of Dr. Aggrey as quoted by Dr. Smith are: "I am proud of my color: who ever
CONGRESSMAN DePRIEST'S COMING ON THE 29th INST., PROMISES TO BREAK ALL RECORDS FOR ATTENDANCE AT A PUBLIC GATHERING
Everything is moving smoothly as final arrangements are being completed for the rousing reception which will be given to Congressman DePriest on the occasion of his visit to this city on the 29th inst. when he will appear at the Shrine Auditorium as the speaker for the occasion of the beginning of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the California Eagle. The nightly N. A. A. C. P., through its local branch shares honors with the newspaper in presenting Congressman DePriest, its full force will be exerted to make this the greatest event ever held on these Western shores.
The great service of this stellar organization has been so closely allied with that of this publication that it was but a natural gesture to associate the N. A. A. C. P., in this greatest of all efforts to do signal honor unto America's Negro leader.
It was for this reason the original meeting place was changed from the Philharmonic Auditorium to the Shrine Auditorium.
Mr. DePriest will arrive in the city Saturday, Sept. 28th with Mrs. DePriest, his sister, Mrs. Hussei, Hon Henry Compton, assistant corporation counsel for the City of Chicago and Dr. Spencer C. Dickerson. The party will repair to the Dunbar Hotel where the management have set aside a suite the distinguished party. Mr. DePriest will fill an out of city engagement that evening, returning to fill Sunday's engagement at the Shrine Auditorium.
Several functions are in the process of completion. The major entertainment of the distinguished guests and his party will be a banquet, which will be given by the Westside Property Owners Improvement Association of which Mrs. A. Hill is the president. Next week's newspapers will carry full accounts of the details of the improvement's coming
Congressman's coming.
It is the purpose and desire of the California Eagle and the N. A. A. C. P. that all organizations, religious, fraternal and otherwise shall take part in this monster event and individuals as well.
The culmination of 50 years of existence for a race paper is a notable and big event, and it is upon the theory that everything should be even greater, that we approached Congressman DePriest to come forth and fire the opening gun and likewise for the N. A. A. C. P. to participate, both coinciding with the happy thought responded in kind and now we are asking all peoples to join in.
There is work for all and we would ask the people to not wait for special invitation, but come forth and enroll as a part and parcel of this history-making event.
The committees are in the making and will be announced later.
The program will be Congressman Oscar DePriest. Prof. Elmer C. Battlett will conduct a monster chorus. Mrs. A. C. Bibbrew will present, especially arranged feature numbers, consisting of the famous Billbrows and Hearts of Dixie stars.
Tickets will be available next week and can be exchanged for seats on and after the 15th inst.
Congressman Joe Crail will introduce his colleague, Gov. Young and other notables have been invited and are expected to be on hand.
"It tell the southern people of America, with whom I have lived for ever twenty years, that they have a special contribution to make toward the solving of the race problem, and of the civilization of Africa. They have lived side by side with us; they know our faith, our loyalty, our honesty, our sensitiveness; they know the things we prize the most; such knowledge should be used for the extension of God's Kingdom."
"I want all my people, my countrymen women and men, to be educated in the larger sense, in heart, hand, and head, and thus render Africa indispensable in spiritual, intellectual, and commercial products to the world."
The author in the chapter, "The Man" says of Aggrey the Apostle of Laughter:
"Aggrey was an African of the Africans—Aggrey's gaiety was genuine and infectious—As an orator Aggrey probet."
Educating Europe on the Race Question
(A message written by William Pickens of the Associated, Negro
Press for newspapers of Germany)
Some say that there is no such thing as a "race" problem, but that all societal problems are economic. But the truth is, that while every society problem may be fundamentally economic, a "race and color problem," such as that in the United States, is this economic problem plus the incident of "race and color." A difference in color or race simply adds another complication to the fundamentally and eternally economic struggle. guishable difference may add a com. In the same way, any other distinplication; as difference in language, difference in political training, great differences in religious belief, or difference in the standard of living. The difference in race and color is only more important in that it is more lasting, more unremovable. One religion may overcome the other, one language will drive out another, systems of politics will yield or blend, and a standard of life will be raised or lowered. But color and racial features are more persistent, although they also show tendencies toward homogeneity—tendencies to disappear as differences.
In the United States, and parts of Africa, the Negro race is undoubtedly, chiefly and most importantly, an economically under class, an exploited group of workers and consumer. In the United States extra advantages are in the hands of the exploiter because of the myth of race and the traditions of slavery.
There is another advantage which race and color prejudice lends to the exploiter: it divides the ranks of the workers. White workers feel and exhibit and act upon a racial difference from Negro workers. There is consequent enmity between these two two racial groups of workers therefore hold each other down. The white groups in the United States. These group, being the stronger race, suff average, but in the aggregate the loss fers a bit less than the black, on the to the great mass of white workers is even greater than that to the smaller mass of black workers.
The white workers in America are learning, although very slowly, that the most important kinship in this changing world is not the kinship of racial stocks, certainly not that of color, but the Blood-Kinship of Economic Class. It may be different in heaven, or somewhere else, but in this world the most important interests are economic interests; therefore, the most important communities are economic interests; therefore, the most important group of consciousness will soon be economic-class group consciousness.
The very reason why race and religion ad color and language have be-consciousness, is the fact that these come such immediate stimuli to group characteristics once upon a time, as they still do a more limited extent, marked out the dividing lines of economic communities—of common eco-
was superb—One element in his power was his very remarkable insight—His vitality was intense—A great simplicity marked his manner of lift—There was a stronger strain of mysticism in Aggrey's constitution—his work was done as an artist and a
nomic interests. But human science applied to communication, transportation, and commerce, is causing the physical barriers of race and class to disappear. The world is becoming one community. Race and color, and even language, are becoming anarchisms in the consideration of the most fundamental and important group interests.
The white workers in America are more conservative than are the white workers in Europe because of the greater economic prosperity of America. People only "see" under the spur of necessity. And the Negro workers of America are even more conservative than the white workers there, exactly for the reason that race prejudice has often the white workers to appear to be as great, if not even greater, enemies to the Negro workers than was the exploiter. From the exploiter the Negro worker got an occasional job; from the white worker he got permanent exclusion from workers' organizations. This condition is changing with the advance in knowledge by white workers, and the advancing disposition of Negroes to fight all enemies, of every class. But there are still many white organizations which exclude Negroes. When these white labor organizations change their rules and admit Negroes, it will be for economic reasons.
The economic divisions of the past made race prejudice, and the economic unity of the future will destroy it. Meanwhile, it will be rather slow work in some places, like Atlanta and Cape Town

Guliport, Miss., Sept 4—Rev. Absalom Rogers, Methodist minister, and J. W. Ward, steward in the church over which Rogers presides, were brought into the justice of peace court of Clarence D. Cox as the outgrowth of an altercation betweenthem.
Rev. Rogers was convicted of having used profanity and when he was assessed with court costs which reached the figure of $8.15, he appealed to friends in the courtroom for a loan to pay the fine. The fine was paid by Edward Thomas, chairman of the building committee, who produced a $10 gold piece. Ward, who pleaded guilty to the charge of having hit the preacher on the head with a piece of ceiling was fined $8.60. Rev. H. J. Walker, also a Methodist minister, was the star witness and described how he took a hatchet away from Rogers just before the church fight started.
Leaves Prayer to Steal
(By: A. N. P.)
Columbus, Miss., Sept. 2.—To steal a cow is bad enough, but to leave church on Sunday during the sermon and take off a heifer and return in time for prayer is an offense that warrants grave consideration. That was the belief handed down by H. A. Moody, justice of the peace in the case of Cornelius Gordon, charged with cow stealing. The justice bound Gordon over to the Lowndes county grand jury under $500 bond.
Stabs Rival His About Sweetheart
New Orleans, La., Sept. 2.—Thomas East was stabbed in the left chest in a cutting scrape with McKinney Williams, who escaped after the fight. East was treated at Charity Hospital, where his condition was said to be serious. The light between East and Williams was caused by an argument over the common-law wife of East.
- ON THE SIDEWALK -
By C. A. B.
WHITE SUPREMACY was put to shame, as it often is, by a white woman, who, after being thrown aside by her olored "husband" did not hesitate to invade the colored section with the hope of restoring to herself the much coveted lost affection. But when her dark-hued lover refused to be recaptured, this fair damsel of the "superior" race proceeded to destroy both property and the atmosphere of decency about the premises where the "O'hello" of her dreams resided.
THERE IS so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to find fault with the rest of us.
IF A COLORED man had gone into Hollywood or Beverly Hills and attempted what this malden with golden locks did, the Central Avenue District, some of our leading newspapers would have had some sensational headlines.
THE VERY BEST demonstration of superior intelligence is a man's ability to remain quiet and dignified when al about him is confusion.
IF THERE IS any one thing that recommends the Negro's ability for the absorption of superior Western Civilization; it is his almost God-like restraint in the face of cruel oppression.
"THE COLORED FLASH is the most beautiful mechanical boxer to show in Los Angeles in ages," so says Stub Nelson of the Record. And Mr. Nelson goes on to say more than this, for he seemingly is amazed by the decision given in the recent match of "Wildcat" Carter and Goldie Hess. While we are not interested in the smallest way in prize fighting we are interested in justice and fair play in all walks, and is seems that in this case it was a matter in which a white man could not decide in favor of a Negro; for says Stub Nelson further, who is also a white man—white in skin and conscience—and right here let me say that Whitman's judgment was as lousy as we have ever seen on exhibition in a local ring."
THE PASSING of La Verne Martin, daughter of Bishop and Mrs. Martin, came not only as a distinct shock to the younger university set of Los Angeles, but likewise to the older and sober thinkers in church and fraternal ranks in this city.
Miss Martin was one of the most splendid young women of the group in Los Angeles. Her record for industry and benevolence stands at the top. She wanted not only to achieve A1 class standing at the University from which she took her A. B. Degree, but to serve her group. Her motto was: "As I receive so shall I give."
Her span was short but her contributions fresh, vigorous and big. She has crossed the Great Divide from which neither young nor old returns, but her deeds and her early sacrifice shall live after her. The passing generation shall stop in its passing long enough to drop a sprig on the newly mowed grave of La Verne, and say she is leading on and we shall fowwod in the fragrant footpath of her who lit the path to glory for us.
WE RODE all night. The distance covered was from Los Angeles to Santa Maria, which is 187 miles. It was necessary to lay over at this beautiful little northern point pretty nearly eight hours, due to the fact that we were hard hit by the trailer on a truck owned by the Armstrong Truck Co. of Oxnard late Saturday night, which necessitated repairs on the car before we proceeded towards our destination which was San Francisco. If it had been the result of most careful planning we could not have selected a more agreeable setting for our Sunday morning service this August 31st, 1929.
This writing is the climax to a breakfast of cold sandwiches and hot coffee for us and milk for the two girls (whose names I will give you later in the story). By the way, before we breakfasted, we read our morning service from the Book of Books, bowed our head in humble thanks for having escaped any serious injury from the big truck the night before, and now we go on with our little "storylette."
This is truly God's country. There in the Santa Maria Park, in the central part of the town, we sat beneath a swaying Oak, and soliloquized—all is well within, for as we turned the searchlight of scrutiny on our own mind we realized that God is good, and that in His Divine plan of Creation, beauty (in the background of all things—physical, spiritual and material) forms the super structure for the foundation of right thinking and hence right living on the part of His favored animal: Man.
With our mind brim full of sweet. (Turn to Page Six)

SORORITY GIRLS HURT IN FUNERAL CRASH
Alpha Kappa Alpha Women Suffer
Severe Cuts and Bruises When
Hurt
Pall Beller's Car is Struck
Near tragedy at scene of departed soror's grave. Last Tuesday, while returning from the cemetery where they had just assisted as honorary pall bearers for their beloved departed soror, Miss La Verne Martin, six pall bearers of soror women narrowly escaped probable death in an auto smashup.
It appears that the accident was entirely unavoidable on the part of Mr. J. W. Griffin, the driver of the wrecked machine.
In the car with Mr. Griffin were: Ruby Jefferson, Naida McCullough, Thelma Overton, Anna Louise Griffith, Helen Wheeler Riddle and Willa B. Nickerson.
The accident occurred at the intersection of 9th and Soto streets. The car in which the young ladies were riding was struck square in the middle, shattering the glass and considerably shaking up the occupants.
All suffered minor bruises. Misses McCullough and Nickerson suffered deep cuts on the face which necessitated Miss Nickerson having two stitches over the eye and Miss McCullough three on the right ear. The funeral was under the direction of Conner-Johnson & Co.

A Sincere tribute
to L. P. Tso
Chinese Herb
Specialist
Herbs Bring Good Health
I have been suffering from female trouble for over one year. My health was gradually getting worse, in fact, 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 Herbalist.
After taking only two weeks' treatments my condition improved to such an extent that I am now a perfect housewife.
If anyone who is sick and suffering as I did will either write or phone me I will be only too glad to explain to my symptoms in full detail.

LOS ANGELES SPORTSMEN RUN AFOUL JOHN LAW Lucky and then again not quite so lucky were four prominent sportsmen of the Angel City.
Last Monday being Labor Day and therefore all labor should cease, four of our leading hunters in the persons of Rich Baker, Johnnie Johnson, B. H. Johnson and Roy Tompkins decided to take a little trip over the week-end to Imperial Valley, where the doves were plentiful, they heard.
The boys started out Saturday night and everything was "tite like that" all during the trip. What the hunters had heard about Imperial Valley was not a lie, because the boys shot dove and shot dove until they slipped down. They got 280 of the soft cooing birds. All well and good. Well pleased with themselves, they started back to the city with their haul and got as far as Banning on the trip back, when they ran into a flock of cars parked by the wayside and a squadron of motorcycle police around them. The police stopped them too, and for the same reason—to see if any hunters had shot over the limit. And you know the answer.
Between the four men 60 dows was the limit. Fifteen a piece. They had 280, 220 over the limit prescribed by law. The game warden took all the kill and cited the minrods to appear in court at Hanning. Thursday, September 5th to answer charges of shooting over the limit.
So the boys took another trip they hadn't planned on. This time to see what the judge had to say.

BOULEVARD $TOPS
As a means of simplifying traffic movement the boulevard system is being used in a number of states with satisfactory results. It means, simply, that certain streets and roads are designated whereon traffic has the right of way over that of cross thoroughfares.
The effect of the boukrd plan is to keep traffic moving more expeditiously on the main arteries of travel with a consequent saving of time to the greater number of motorists and an increase in the number of vehicles main highways can accommodate.
Under the old dsystem which gives to the car to the right the right of way irrespective of the character of the highway or intersection, traffic is materially slowed up and traffic hazards are increased by blind crossings and arbitrary drivers.
It can be said, in truth, that motorists, with some exceptions, obey reasonable traffic rules. They cannot obey all rules, because of their large number and susceptibility to frequent change. But those laws that appeal to their common sense, that are essential to safety, they observe. As a general thing, the right-of-way privilege is respected. That being true, the boulevard system can be operated successfully at a big saving of money, time and patience.
THIS FALL IN LOS ANGELES STORES
Los Angeles merchants are much ahead of the average in cities of this size in announcing a regular fall opening in the manner in which they have chosen and on the scale which they have adopted as the best method. The fall and winter season, replete with its merchandising opportunities, is often ushered in gradually without announcement, with no inducements other than those ordinarily found peculiar to the community.
But not so here. This issue of the Eagle is teeming with special buying offers made at a time when buying is most necessary and representing most of those items which every family is forced to acquire of this particular time of year. And not only are the items seasonable and other attractions overbalancing to a foreign competitor, but the great trade event of the year, the annual gift campaign, is opening. This in itself is not an ordinary feature—it is made extraordinary by its relation to the community and the eagerness with which the people as well as the tradesmen look forward to it.
So, the fall season is here in spirit as well as in fact. It is opened by mercantile offerings that may not have equals during the remainder of the year. The "saddest of the year" time for shoppers may have a different aspect. And Los Angeles is given an opportunity from today forth to choose seasonable merchandise from stocks that qualify as to quantity and high standard. It is your opportunity to profit as well as that of your business friend. And it is your duty, other things being equal, to give your home merchant that which he has every right to expect. Start the fall season with him.
IT IS FALL
Lodges are getting their winter's activities under way. Young folks are wooing Terprischore again. There is a smell of camphor in many homes as mah jong sets are being opened up. New loud speakers are being installed for the radio. Study circles are resuming. There is hot competition around the reading lamp for possession of the home town paper. Bridge is still played. There is some demand for corn-poppers. The iee man looks a little glum but the electric-light meter reader wears a smile like a split watermelon as he sets down the figures. It has been wonderfully fine weather with more than usual opportunities for outdoor enjoyments. But it will be fine to have fall rains, too, and later the nip of frost. Just as one of the fine things about going away from home is to come back there, so one of the fine things about summer is that finally we come to its end and to normal change. Seasons lend variety and prevent monotony. And each of them in California is enjoyable.
About the hardest thing to cure is injured feelings.
As life draws to a close some men take up religion; and some take up golf:
Days are so short. Right after supper it is dark enough to go joy riding.
You can be an idealist, however, without slipping the other fellow all the aces.
The "charming naturalness" you like in a girl cost her many weary hours of practice.
"Money is easy," says the market report, but it is hard for some kind of borrowers.
Cement makers use 14,000,000 pounds of dynamite a year. May we say their business is booming?
Science, says a nature magazine, has found no practical use for the jelly-fish. Well, neither has the public life.
Hero: One who grinds our axe. Crime against civilization: The act of grinding the other fellow's axe.
There are two kinds of men: Those who think the world is going to the dogs, and those who are too busy to worry.
A tall fullback is always considered best. That gives the seven linesmen in the other team a comfortable seat.
Eating lunch too rapidly, says a public health doctor, is a sign of nervousness. Usually over the safety of a straw hat.
Another fearful interlude in the growing child's career is when he or she discovers that by pressing a watermelon seed between the fingers it can be made to pop across a dinner table.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
COMMENTS
It opened in a blaze of glory! California's State Fair celebrating the seventy-fifth year of its existence; the Diamond Jubilee: swung wide its gates when His Excellency, Governor C. C. Young unlocked the portal with the golden key presented by President Condee of the agricultural society. The State Fair has been one of the more important factors in the building up of California. It has featured to the world the possibilities which is offered in the development of its mineral, industrial, agricultural and horticultural treasures. One viewing the great display of the state's wealth cannot but be impressed. Gold and precious metals dug from the depths of her mines; Golden fruits from her orchards; Life giving cereals and lucious products of the vine; Blue blooded stock with national prestige, all of these might lead the onlooker to believe that the apex of development had been reached. But not so. This seventy-five years is but the first beginning of the exploration of the state's natural wealth. Then: Not alone has California progressed in a material sense, she leads in the enactment of humanitarian laws. When the present Senator Hiram Johnson was governor he laid the foundation for the structure which has placed California in the van of states of the Nation. It is a revelation to study the methods, past and present, of the treatment of inmates in the penal, charitable and corrective institutions. The exhibits of the public schools gives an insight of the educational advantages offered the youths. As a great educational factor, the visual study of the state through the medium of the exposition is preeminent. Would you know the State in which live? Would you know its past, present, and possibilities of its future. Then mingle with the thousands who move through the spacious buildings, see what is offered, and be proud.
When we learn of the atrocious deeds of murder and rapine now being enacted in the land where the lowly Nazarene preached and taught the Golden Rule of Life we think of the irony of it all. Jew, Moslem and Christian drenching the earth with blood, and all in the name of Religion. If, as 'tis said, He looks down on what His children do, what His impression must be of the fruits of His creative work. Racial hates: Religious antagonisms, with their accompanying acts of murder and bloodshed must cause many a pang of regret. When viewed from the angle of Biblical creation, and witnessing the brutal acts of men, there is a cause to doubt that they were ever created in "His image." That Wailing Wall at Jerusalem may be the cause of a wailing world. Should that spark of religious fanaticism burst into flame it may be the cause of the revival of another world war. Nothing so inflames the passion of men like religious and racial hates. When the flame spreads it is hard to check the conflagration. Trust that the spirit of the Great Teacher who walked the valleys of Gallilee and taught the spirit of love throughout Palestine may be some subtle means check the threatened flame of hate and from strife bring peace.
Something: Public criticism, or the truthfulness of the accusations made, has caused the city treasurer of San Francisco to resign his office. Strong claims of mismanagement of the city's finances were hurled. The stir was created when one of Theilers chief deputies resigned and gave vague reasons for so doing. There was a big stir in the political circles of the city. Charges and counter charges were hurled back and forth. The mayor came to the defense of Thieler and claimed that there was a political conspiracy to ruin the chances of the city treasurer for re-election. But he has resigned under fire, and that practically ruins any chance he ever had. There are rumors, and murmurings among the electorite, that forbode no good for several aspirants who hope to keep their positions safe under the dome. They claim that there is a moss-covered "Gang" that needs a change of residence. May be it would not hurt to give the Civic Center habitues a chance to travel.
The Governor has moved his official family back to Sacramento. For the past few months Los Angeles has been the seat of government. There are three positions to be filled with the institution of the new appellate court. It is rumored that they will be appointed from San Joaquin and Fresno counties. To the casual observer the Governor is planning to make a bid for a second term of office. He is strengthening his position in the part of the state below the Tehatchipi and forstalling the activity of, rumored, opponents. Much constructive work has been accomplished during this present term of his office and there is much more to be done. It would not be the course of wisdom to make an executive change at present. That is, unless the work planned for accomplishment is finished. We have had one regime of false economy and we are sure that the electors of the state do not wish any repition of it. Things which should have been done, and were necessary for the good of the public welfare were allowed to stagnate, for "economical" reasons. There is an old saying, "that the dollar buried in the ground is no dollar." The coffers of the state treasury may be bursting with their golden wealth, hoarded through the medium of "economy" but it adds not one whit to the wealth of the state. It is false economy. It is wisom to spend that money intelligently for the benefit of the-tax-payer who places it there. Good roads; buildings to house the officials of the state, and who transact it, is business. Expenditure in the advancement of educational facilities and the carrying on of humanitarian work, makes the dollar of value.
The Hon. Oscar DePriest, Congressman, Illinois, appointed a adet to West Point. The young man has met every requisite of admittance. Scholarship, and physical tests were submitted and he stood them all. But it seems as if there is some sort of feeling in that national institution that has a tendency to place a premium on color. If you are not of a certain color, (unless foreign, as there are representatives of several Oriental countries) you have the brand of ostracism placed on you. It seems as if the letters of this young man to his sponsor bore a very depressing tone, and the Congressman made a personal investigation of conditions. As stated before in this column; that young man had nothing to expect but strife. It was to be the preparation for the profession the nation was tutoring him for. The profession of arms. He had a predecessor who had the same trial, but he came through with flying colors and died one of the most respected officers in the army of the United

States. To show cold feet would be to acknowledge inferiority. It would give evidence that the appointee was not the kind to stand the test of martial life. The Congressman has said that he intends appointing men and if he does he is going to appoint the biggest and blackest they can stand the test of examination.
The shame of it: No sooner has the courts of the United States declared the validity of one fraternal society and given them the right to wear the insignia, and practice the same ritual of the white fraternity than along comes another branch of Negroes and claim that that which the courts decree had given to the race was void and that they were practicing falsely. Not enough that white fraternals should seek to place the "bar sinister" it must be done by those who should work in amity. Another sorry spectacle was enacted at Atlantic City where a coterie of men who want to keep their clutches on the treasury and who have for the past few years made the word "Fraternalism" a misnomer took the most czaristic methods to gain their end. When there was opposition to their methods they over ride the law of the fraternity, scrap their oath of allegiance to the principles of the Order, and seek to retain their power by the most unholy means. Charity, covered her face in shame at the spectacle. Justice; looked on the scene with disdain. Brotherly-Love; fled from the temple with horror. FIDELITY; toppled on her pedestal and crashed. Dumb with the shame of it all. To what unholy stretches avarice and greed of power can reach.

themselves to serve humanity's needs? No one except a medical man or woman can quite appreciate the amount of real sacrifice which is demanded in this, the most costly of all professions. A good physician literally gives all that there is of him not for a certain stated period of time, but throughout their lifetime of active practice. And as long as they are in the harness—until breath leaves their body—they are working, studying, striving to better fit themselves to meet the many and varied needs of the human family.

THOUGHTS ON MEDECINE IN GENERAL
I expect many things from this Eastern trip. I shall endeavor to contribute something to the New York Conference as a representative of the whole state of California I trust to be able to give something of real worth as a practical gift to the field of medical knowledge from the Golden State to the National Conference. But far, more than I give, do I expect to receive. There will be present at the Conference old veterans in the army of medicine, men who have made it possible for the Negro physician to become a definite factor in the life of America. Men who have literally lived on crusts that Negro institutions and medical science might be born and nursed, through those struggling days of early infancy—how I shall appreciate learning from these grand old Negroes. Then there is another type of Negro institution, a world of knowledge to contribute. It is the younger physician who has stepped in some of those crevices which have been pried open by the life work of of the pioneers—and have gathered and grown until they now have become giants in the medical world. Not giants in the Black medical world alone, but universal giants. Within the past three months I have had the privilege of seeing one of these men stand like a stone wall and match wits and wisdom against one of the very leaders in the white world of medicine.
The first part of this 5-day trip was occupied by writing, writing, writing, getting together the material which I am scheduled to present on the program of this great conference. I should have done this two months ago in Los Angeles. But somehow new case after new case claimed my attention and the months and weeks dwindled down to days and hours and no time was left for anything but the hasty, last minute preparation and jumping on the train.
The first part of the journey as I say was occupied with heavy writing and deep thought. Seeking to call out of my experience as a Specialist in Obstetrics (Maternity cases) that which would be of the most benefit to my fellow physicians as we meet together to exchange views, ideas and opinions to each learn from the other and to each seek to impart. And yesterday both papers for my part on the program were completed and for the first time in many years I was free to relax. No telephone to call me from sleeping, eating or even idle morning, as I looked out on the beautiful keen headrows and pleasant streams, spread in ever-changing scenes before the window. No to knock at the door and bring some urgent message from a needy case. Is it any wonder that I just rested for the balance of the day, and deferred the writing of Plain Facts until today?
Friends I wash you as laymen could catch a little bit of the spirit of the New Negro physician. By "new" I do not mean young in years. Some of these "new" physicians are white-haired, but they are NEW in vision, in purpose and in real serious effort and large accomplishment. I could name to you today medical men in L.A. who are of this new school, men whose ages range from youth to and through middle age. These men are giving to you the best that there is in medicine and friends I do trust that the day is not far distant when you will recognize that within your own ranks are physicians whose medical capabilities equal those of the doctors of any race and that while they are physicians, sacrilege and strive to put self aside and keep abreast with the world's best in medicine irrespective of race or color that you will be intelligent enough to appreciate and honor them by your patronage and by your unbounded confidence.
I feel highly proud as I sit here this morning, with a letter in my pocket book, the new beautiful bag given me by the Womanhood's Armour just before I left L. A. with a letter in this bag from Dr. Isadore Mitchell, president of our State Medical Society to Dr. Spatinas Burrell, President of the National Medical Association stating that I am authorized to represent the California State Medical Association. I am proud of my Race! proud that it has men like our State President, Dr. Isadore Mitchell, a man of real vision, clear plans and a spirit of unselfish service. We as a state are proud of Dr. Mitchell and the large work which he has done for the state organization. Again my heart swells with pride as I think of the National organization; who would not be proud of a group of men and women who are intelligent enough to realize their need of further study and development and who are unselfish enough to put their hands in their pockets and spend hundreds of dollars in order to better fit
NOTE: Save all your queries until I come back from New York.

ness engendered beneath the shady Oaks in the Santa Maria Park, we journeyed Northward, until darkness overtook us at, Pliano Beach, where we hosted tent and crawled in for the night. The next morning, which was Monday, September 1st, we were up early and on our way to the chief city of California—San Francisco—which we reached Monday afternoon about 4:00 o'clock and hurriedly looked it over. In a little while we were again on our way, this time for Oakland, where we stopped long enough to dine at the famous Stephen's Cafe, after which we headed the nose of our gasoline boat towards Los Altos over the Ridge Route, stopping long enough at Tulare to break Tuesday morning at Mrs. King's Lunch Room. It was not until Tuesday evening, September 2nd, 6:00 o'clock, with Ye Editor of the Soaring Eagle at the wheel, that we fetched up at the California Eagle office and found everything in tact; the day crew had scattered and fled, leaving the night men at the wheels and the old bird slowly, but surely, moving on.

MRS. IDELL A. BATEMAN
OLIVET BAPTIST! CHICAGO
The great Olivet Baptist of which the greater L. K. Williams, D. D. is pastor. How often I heard of it The magnificence of this house of worship, the splendor of it's service. "Oh yes you know, his church is the largest Negro church in the United States, some five thousand members or more. They have five assistant pastors and there are two or three services held, in different parts of the church building, at one time." This had been whispered to me on one occasion, when, upon hearing the Rev. L. K. Williams introduced in such glowing terms to a L. A. audience, I inquired after him. Just who he was to inspire such panegyric remarks.
I voiced my desire to visit his church that Sunday evening, in fact had planned my trip in order to worship in the great Olvet at one service. That was the biggest thing in all Chicago, to me.' Baptist bred and Baptist born, you know.
"And why Olvet?" I was asked. I batted my, eyes, several times as though that would help me to hear aright. Surely these people knew, they were old residents of Chicago. Then I remembered that they were Methodists. It came to me in a flash, that naturally, there would be a bit of jealousy, that the biggest church in all Chicago, should be Baptist. Nevertheless their seeming narrowness provoked me. It aroused an ire that caused the pounding of blood in my ears and at my temples.
"Well you know," I began trying to express calm out of the seething turmoil within. "Olvet is the BIGGEST NEGRO CHURCH in ALL AMERICA, in fact it is one of the largest, irrespective of race." Then gaining heat and impetus, "Rev. L. K. Williams is the most outstanding man in the Baptist denomination, being pastor of this church as well as president of the National Baptist Convention.
I saw these Chicagoans glance at each other, significantly. I then determined to go, if I had to go alone.
"I can find the place, if you just tell me where it is." I, of some two house acquaintance, in the big city, volunteered.
"Oh no, we will gladly take you," they replied, "We were just thinking," they half apologetically offered, perhaps feeling the heat of my unspoken accusation," that you would enjoy, the services at the Pilgrim Baptist better. They have a beautiful church a large following and a broadcasting station. It is one of the most up-to-date, well equipped churches in Chicago."
"Pilgrims Baptist? Indeed not, I have never heard of it." I thought. Discovering that my one ambition was to visit Olvet, they gave in and with one accord we journeyed there. An old building of brick and stone it's towering effects gave one the impression of ancient grandeur. It's time-worn doors swung open to admit us into a small vestibule. Steps, worn bare of paint and carpeting, led up to the right. I gazed about for some redeeming feature and imagined a gloating expression on the faces of my companions. Instead of the pressing throng, that I had pictured, we were the lonely four that waited outside on the prayer of some dutiful brother.
Doors Opened
“There must be some mistake,” I despairingly thought as I gazed around on the many empty pews. It was already past time for the filling of them. The choir was in its gallery overhead. Some three or four preachers sat on the narrow extension allowed for the pulpit.
There was nothing that could have been said, even from eloquent lips that would have revived my sinking spirits. So, the dry, uncertain message from one who did not seem quite positive, served as added weight. The small gathering seemed shrinking, oddly quiet and still as though in sympathy with my mood. Patiently they gazed on and waited—for what? A few had taken to the gallery as though to spread over and cover up the nakedness of the old church. I thought of the milling throng that pressed each other on the walks for space. Wandering sheep, those. Hungry, tired and colo, looking, searching intently for food, rest and shelter. I thought of them turning into the brilliant, beckoning theaters and dance halls, for want of a better place to go. I thought of them coming out, their senses glowing, still hungry and tired and cold.
The huge sliding doors of the pulpit, I imagined opened into the Sunday School rooms, or, maybe—another department for preaching services. Possibly the Rev. Williams might be there, this, just an overflow, from his congregation. Quickly, breathlessly, "Do they have preaching here, in another department?" No, this is the only service. "Still I listened for muffled sounds of preaching or singing—in vain.
Drowsy and shinny of face, listlessly standing to lifelessly sing service songs, worn thin. I felt that some of their robes would fall from one shoulder and so, kept pulling up my sleeve to keep them on. The choir was reserving her trills for an audience to try them on.
No mention of the pastor, his whereabouts or explanation of his absence. Everything seemed to be taken for granted. I was glad when the few dimes were quietly taken and benediction offered.
I staggered out, weaker but the wiser for my experience.
My companions, noting the breaking down of my former stoutness, proceeded to vindicate their original attitude. Their, "I told you so's" deafened me but not so much so that I did not hear many "certain things" they would tell me of the Rev. L. K Williams and his relationship to the Olivet Baptist.
"Don't they have big crowds in the mornings?" I ventured weakly. "Oh yes, they have pretty good crowds, ordinarily and when L. K. is there you can't get anywhere near the church, if you don't get there early in the morning. And another thing you'd better never mention a word against him in the presence of any of his members, that is if you don't want to be insulted, or worse."
"Never fear for me!" I thought.
"From thence on, Olivet Baptist
Chicago, is reglegated to my 'sub-
conscious mind.' Amen.
"Miss Silver Beach" in Person at Tivoli Theatre Sunday
Fame over night has come to beautiful, dainty little Miss Irene Valdez in that she won the Batting Beauty Contest at Silver Beach, Labor Day over a field of close contestants and received the first prize a silver bowl, and the title, Miss Silver Beach of 1929.
Immediately she was showered with offers of personal appearances for theatrical engagements accepting one offered by Manager Ellsworth of the Tivoli Theatre.
Sunday night at both the first and second shows she will appear on the stage so that the audience may see from across the footlights, the girl with the most perfect figure in all California.
Miss Valdez who aspires to a stage career being under the outletage of a well known dance teacher and the coaching of Mr. John Jackson, well known West Coast head-liner will do a

LET THE POLITICAL CLOWNS SLEEP
Fellow citizens of the Negro race, it is indeed a pleasure to be identified with such a large number of awakened Negroes. For what little time we are asleep we have one eye open and one closed and we are very sensitive to a touch, especially when it concerns us as taxpayers and citizens.
Vacation time is just about over, the recess bell is now ringing, the same teachers stand at their posts, beckoning us to come into their school of wisdom, and in this school there are many problems that we must learn. Our political problems, our economic problems and our industrial problems. These three problems are our major propositions. We have been schooled in our religions problems for the past sixty or more years and we should be graduated by this time. Our social problem, such as social equality is of such a minor nature, that we realize as any other civilized human being that we are too busy to worry about this bunk. We are sensible enough to know that is nature's own problem. Knowing that it is just as easy to drink all of the water in the Pacific Ocean in one day as it is to stop the laws of nature. We leave that to the inferior brain of our Southern white brothers who have tramped to this section of our civilized states and seeks to make them as uncivilized as the ones they hobbed from. Let the maniacs rave on, we are concerned about our three major problems. First, let us say our political problem.
We as Negroes are determined to let the Uncle Tom type sleep on. We are not going to awaken him for we have no use for him. We believe in representation. As taxpayers and citizens we believe in representation. We are learning the value of the ballot in selecting our white brothers to fill public offices and live on our hard-earned tax money. We are absolutely unconcerned about one another and their welfare. Who ever heard of the master going to the back door of the servant with his hat in his hand, begging the servant to go that which he was hired to do? Secondly is our economic problem which concerns our wealth. This one we do not guard carefully. We spend too much money building churches and not enough building homes and industries. We are too prone to live under white landlords and pay big rents and buy churches. We should be intelligent enough to own and support a few churches and they should be modern edifices. But we should stop building churches for every job hunter that comes and does himself in ministerial attire and suggests that you build him a church.
We have so many denominations here that if they would come together we would instead of buying more churches have scores of them to sell. The white man may ride in a Packard, Rolly Royce, Pierce Arrow or other high-priced cars, but that same white man may be a banker, president of some big corporation or a retired millionaire. Therefore with our salaries of $25.00 and $30.00 per week why strain ourselves and work ourselves sick trying to compete with him, especially so when there are cars that fit our salaries. Now the third problem is our Indust tap dance and Argentene Tango in addition to making her bow to the Tivoli audiences.
The lithe, poetic grace with which her beautiful form is endowed coupled with her naturalness and charming personality have made all who glimpse her at Silvery Beach crave for a better view and all whom failed to be present are anxious to see the most talked of girl in Los Angeles and all California.
She was born sixteen years ago in Durango, Colo., her 17th birthday falling on next Sunday, the date of her first stage appearance. Her parents, Mr. Lee and Mrs. Laura Valdez are still in the Colorado city, while she is there visiting a married sister, Mrs. Adonis, an aunt, Mrs. A. C. Fisher, and a grandmother, Mrs. Edgar Lawrence, at 626 East 35th Place.
The other winners in the long to be remembered Bathing Beauty Contest were as follows:
TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
Bordentown, N. J., August 24. The National singles tennis championship was won here today for the second successive year by Edgar G. Brown of Chicago, Ill. before a crowd of 1000 people. Brown was able to push through a strenuous two hour battle against James L. Stocks, of Pasadena, California. So close was the match that a difference of five points was the final result. Stocks went through the first set with a loss of but 12 points winning 0-6, 6-3 8-6, 6-0. The second set Stocks lead at 3-0, then a game was won by each player their service with the score of 4-1, then Brown won three consecutive games to even it. Stocks taking the last two to win. The first two games in the third set went to Stocks, the next three to Brown, then Stocks took Brown's service, but lost the last three. After the rest period, the gallery was cheering for the 19 year old California star to come through, he lead at 5-2 and within three points of victory and faltered, to have Brown win four games in a row. Stocks won his service to even the match and lost the next two games. The fifth set was Stocks Waterloo, he made 19 errors and won but 7 points in the last set. The youngster was very tired as Brown was cross-courting his shot keeping the youth running from side to side. So careful was the play that the balls were kept in play for long volleys to gain an advantageous position. This marks Braun's first leg on the new Dr. D. L. Hoage trophy. He gained permanent possession of the previous trophy last year by virtue of winning in 1923, 1922 and 1928.
A new champion was crowned in the women's singles event, in the person of Miss Ora Washington of Philadelphia and Chicago. Won over Mrs. Frances Gittens of New York in a thrilling three set match. This was a match that kept the gallery applauding, as both players scored placements and executed shots that were far above anything known before in our tennis group. Miss Washington won the first three games in the first set, then lost three, with the score tied, she won her service, then lost three more to end the set. The New Yorkers in the gallery had more
tria. Negro businesses should draw the individual. The Negro business man that tries to teach you race price and patronage and does not practice it himself is worse than an infidel and not fit for Heaven, neither is he suitable for Hell. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing and should be ostracized. I know of several businesses here who are doing this very thing. We encourage Negro Industries, want more of them, bigger ones and better ones, but as you expect the bulk of your trade from the race, show your appreciation by giving other members a chance. Why we have some Negroes in business to whom another could not print as small a thing as a business card, nor press his suit, neither sell him a steak, he would not even patronize a Negro barber shop if he was not compelled to do so.
So yet the Negro Industrial Clown Sleep On even with the Political Clowns. Look for more next week.

GOLDIE HESS STOPS "WILDCAT" CAR- TER IN TENTH
GOLDIE HESS STOPS "WILDCAT" CAR- TER IN TENTH
Leile "Wildcat" Carter is the original hard luck boy.
After heating Goldie Hess the Ocean Park Gold Bug for nine straight rounds the little Blue Streak from the west lost one of the most sensational fights ever seen at the big house on Grand Avenue.
When it comes to making real, natural matches, Wad Wadhams really knows his stuff and no less. That fight Tuesday night was a "Honey" and I don't mean maybe. I am supposed to tell you about the fight and here I am telling you about what a good match maker the Olympic has. Just a little more than the fight. You that missed the greatest fight of the year missed the time of your life.
There were 10,000 rabid fight fans there Tuesday night and the two boys had the mall but ready victims for the psychopathic ward in the County hospital.
In the first round it looked as if the Blue Streak was going to godp Hess then and there. He threw more rights and lefts at Goldie than Zorrilla, Taylor and Morgan combined were able to show the beach kid. Carter was a bolt of lightning and no less. One second he was there throwing gloves and the next he was at another angle pouring fists at Hess. Goldie was covered up like anybody's clam. The Streak had him walking around in a daze in the first canto.
In the second Hess turned the tables and came out swirling that wild right hand of his and caught the Seat tie kid on the lug. The blow hurt he cause it shook Leslie from here to there, but he hasn't stopped coming yet. In fact, he never backed up once during the battle. When the going got a little hot he stood toe to toe with Hess and fought it out.
That second round was the only round going into the tenth that Goldie could rightfully call his own. That spurt in the second was short lived, because Carter came out in the third and drove Hess all over the ring.
Carter set a terrific pace throughout the fight, never slowing down once. He has a wonderful pair of legs and he was on his toes from the start to the finish. He flashed from here to there.
In the fifth the boys got in a wild miracle didn't want to hear the bell for some season or other. The referee had to step in between the lads and lead them to their respective corners.
**LUCKY SEVEN**
In the lucky seven the Wildcat duplicated this dolls of the first round and beat Hess from here to Timbuktu again.
Going into the tenth and final round it was all Carter from here to any place you can think of that would put the boy so far ahead of Hess. Goldie wouldn't be in it.
And then in the tenth, the Ocean Park kid rushes out and starts swinging wild rights and lets, some of them conected and some of them didn't. Those that did land must have hurt the Blue Streak something terrific, because up to now I haven't seen him lift a glove in the 'Grand Finale'.
But, now comes the rub. Benny Whitman, the referee, stopped the bout and Carter hasn't once touched the floor. And for what reason I can't see. No doubt the boy was hurt but the round was young and he had lots of time to snap out of it. He proved that he could when he took all Hess had in the second and then came back to treat him to be best selfacking he ever had.
The referee pulled the worst kind of boner that could be pulled, that is, if you are for justice and willing to give Carter that which is coming to him. The boy didn't show any signs of being out.
He saved the Spring Street boys a lot of Iron Men, as Hess was a 2 to 1 favorite. The referee, I mean,
Win or lose the Break gave the An-
drew a big bet, but in ever appear in local riqs
The entire Hewlett came out in front Tuesday night. In the semiwind Tay Portillo won over Ritchie King and Syd Torres beat Joe McCausen by the technical score in the fourth.
In the fours Jack Stewart beat Leonard Allen and Jimmy O'Neal and Dick McDaniels went to a draw.
FANS WANT HERCARTER REMATCH
Beyond a doubt there isn't a fight fan in Los Angeles that was fortunate enough to see the fight Tuesday

night at the Olympic who doesn't want a rematch between the two battlers.
A rematch would pack the big house on the Avenue to the rafters. They couldn't begin to seat them. Carter showed the fans that he is everything they said he was up north in Seattle. No wonder te folks are so crazy about him. He is a sweetheart with the padded mitts and I don't mean maybe.
To give the kid justice a rematch would be the thing and nothing else will satisfy.
Two days before the fight the Hudkins brothers bought the contract of the Blue Streak from William Neal, the father.
Although Gerrity lost this fight I don't believe the Hudkins boys will regret it one bit that they put out $10,000 hard iron men for the fast stepping boy from north. They want to see Carter again at the Olympic and the sooner the better.
A
Kid Chocolate the smiling ebony battler from Cuba came through with flying colors last Thursday night when he upset the dope and beat Al Singer the Jewish boy from the Bronx. The Kandy Kid was on the short end of the money. Singer was a 7 to 5 favorite. A favorite over a man that is the most sensational fighter in the world today. The experts figured that Al would be too heavy for the Chocolate Drop, when the gong sounded for the first. The weight for the battle was to be 128½ pounds. As it was the Kid was outweighed four or five pounds. The wise boys missed their guess again, because it was the Jewish boy that felt the strain of making the weight. Although he was heavier than the Cuban, Chocolate finished the stronger.
CHOCOLATE A WONDER
Chocolate has proven to the fighting public that he is a wonder and one of the greatest men in the game today.
He out-smarted the Jew, out-slugged him and out-did him all the way around.
BEST FIGHTERS IN WORLD TODAY
After the Cuban's victory it set the writer to thinking and we have come to this conclusion. We, the black race, have the best fighters in the fistic game at the present time.
Let's take a look into the various divisions and see just how we stack up.
In the heavyweights, George Godfrey, regardless of his cucet on a foul by Long Tom Hawkins, is still the most feared man in the big boys today. Then Long Tom Hawkins should be faced next. He beat Godfrey on a foul and that gives him the rating. A rematch between the two men would clear up this muddle. And then this kid Dynamite Jackson is the cool.
STAIRS IN LIGHTWEIGHTS
Material is scarce in the division that Tommy Loughran has just deserted. Not one outstanding black fighter is mentioned in this bunch. The middleweight is the greatest fighter since the days of Bob Fitzimmons when Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Deacon, crossed the Great Divide into the Happy Hunting Grounds.
WAS ROBBED
The Deacon was robbed of his tittle just before this death, by the present champ, Mickey Walker. Or 14th, Mickey got a very unjust decision over the praying fighter from Atlanta. The fight took place in Chi, if you recall, and the Windy City is famous for those things. Several of "Those Things" have been pulled off in Chicago in the fight seckett lately. Listed they include the famous long count Thompson-Tunney fight, the Tiger Flowers-MickeyWalker set-to, the Ace Hudkins-Mickey Walker brawn and just recently the Black Jack Thompson-Jackie Fields battle. It so happened in this Fields-Thompson traces the "thing" came off in the canto Jack was Lending himself, Chi is a tanny city! Now to get on in our review.
To get back to the middleweights, Gorilla Jones, a wonderful battler fights in two sections. The 160 pounders and the swelters. But he is at his best in the lighter division so we will deal with him as a weaker weight.
BEST IN 147 POUND CLASS
Beyond a doubt the best boys in the world are the colored boys at 147 pounds, the welterweight limit. Excepting Jackie Fields because he is the Ring-pin at the present time. Fields fights Gorilla Jones in an overweight fight on the 23rd of this month in Francisco.
There is Jack Thompson who put the sleeping powders on Joe Dundee when he was champ. Gorilla Jones who has fought at Madison Square Garden six times in one year gets the supreme test when he fights Fields in San Francisco. Many believe Jones will take Fields.
Baby Joe Gans fights welters although he is usually outweighed from five to ten pounds in most of his fights. Gans is in a position that happens to fighters sometimes. He is too heavy for a lightweight and too light for a real welter. Notwithstanding this complex Joe gives the best in the 147 pound class some stiff arguments.
The lightweight division is rather lacking also, but Gans and Wildcat Carter rate with the best.
FEATHERS ARE THERE
The world's best featherweights are in the black race. There is the incompatible Kid Chocolate, who also suffits among the bantams, but started this campaign among the 128 pounders last Thursday, when he took Al Singer as stated elsewhere in this article, Santiago Zorrilla is a world's champ, when he is right. Santiago is due to leave for the east soon. A Zorrilla Chocolate brawl would be out of this world. And then Armand Santiago, a countryman of Chocolate is nobody's chump. He knocked out Joey Sangor.
CLASS IN BANTAMS
Al Brown, a Panamanian furnishes the class in the 188 pound class. Brown is rated as champion of the weight by the New York Boxing Commission and the states that come under its jurisdiction. Brown is in Europe now. He ran out of work here.
Quite a collection of stars and all of them on top if not they should be there. They have the class that warrants being on the up and up.
The blocks have a near champ in every division with the exception of possibly two. Can't be beat, can it?
ARABS NEEDED IN HOLLY
MOOBI FOR FILM BLAX.
WOOD FOR FILM PLAY
Arabs are the latest demand upon
the much-derrilled Hollywood Central
Casting Bureau
When George Hill starts direction of "The Boulds Sound," Lon Chaney's new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer drama, shortly, he will need as many Arabs as he can get to portray life with the Foreign Legion in North Africa. And though Hollywood has many nationalities, Arabs seem to be very scarce away from their native land.
The new picture is a filmization of Maj. Zimov Frockoff's book on the legion and much of its detail was filmed in North Africa, where Hill, the director traveled with the actual legion and flaged it in action in the recent Holy War. A notable cast is being assembled for the portion of the picture to be filmed at the studios and on location in Arizona.
SAN BERNARINO FIGHT NEWS
ADAMS, LORES
The old home town favorite failed to come through and "lost a couchback bout by a knockout in four rounds. Adams was beaten so badly he could not answer the boll for the fifth round. His manager, Tom Jones, threw in the towel.
Walter Dunham, the Kansas State boy, who is making his home in San Bernardino also, and the boy we told you about last week is the lad that gave Johnny his humiliating beating. Adams has long been a home town favorite at San Bernardino and it was some blow to the Mountain Lion to lose in that fashion to a youngster, just starting in the game.
Because of this victory over Adams, Dunham ganda the chance of being the new Beredo favorite.
It seems as if the old Mountain Lion
has reached the end of the long long trail. He has made comeback after comeback. For a while he would look like the old Johnny Adams that was the Pacific Coast things. In those days Johnny was king-pin of all the boys around 135. He was so good at the weight he was rated among the leading contenders for the lightweight crown. But, Johnny's blueboot was staying in condition. He just wouldn't do it. After losing a
Peerless CABS MUtual 4141
he sees that he is all wrong about not staying in shape and would declare his wild days all off. But he couldn't keep his promises to himself, and it wouldn't be long before he would be back in the same old rut. And now it has cropped out on him. Just when he should be at his peak he is finished. The boy should have attained the heights that Ace Hudkins did. At one time he beat the Nebraska "Wildcat" in a ten-round thrilling bout at the Olympic. Now to get back to this battle last Thursday.
It seems as if Johnny didn't have a chance. Dunham swarmed all over him and beat Adams at his own game, slugging. There isn't much to say on this fight, only we hate to see the passing of one of the gamenest and at one time one of the greatest fighters at his weight in the whole country. The Lion could fight in those days and that is no lie.
The tough part of this defeat is this. Johnny was in the midst of a winning streak and was due to head East to fight for Puddy Mullen soon, no doubt this will spoil all former plans laid by Tom Jones, Johnny's manager.
Just a good old horse that has served his day—and well.
NEXT WEEK'S MAIN EVENT
Next week another town town favorite goes to the post to redeem himself.
Baby Sal Soria, the hard-punching Mex, who at one time looked like a potential Champ comes back home after a long lay off to tackle Bruno Ladurir in a ten round main event.
Sal's last battle was some time in July when he took on Eddie Mack the Denver college student and host by a knockout in five rounds.
Soria is a great boy with a right hand, but a terrible sucker for a left. Soria's big mistake in his big time fights has been an utter disregard for orders from his advisors during the course of a battle.
Every time he went to the post against some man that is good showing would have put him on the top, he has fizzled out because he could not or would not listen to the old heads in his corner. I guess he thought they were in there just to make things look better or help the atomisphere some.
Anyway the young Mexican socker has to start all over now and he is just where he started this time last year. A main eventer at the small time clubs instead of a knockout attraction at the money houses where he could pack them in with that terrible socking right hand of his. When the right mitt does land it is curtains and I don't mean maybe.
The boy can hit if his opponent stands still and lets him pour that dynamite all over his big.
Here is hoping the kid will be on
the up and up again soon as he has
it in him. ____
JIMMY BLACK MEETS YOUNG
NATIONLISTA
Ontario offers a big time card Wednesday night when Jimmy Black of San Bernardino meets Young Nationista the wild swinging Filipino from Los Angeles, recently from Arizona, where he has been knocking them out.
This little western town has had a habit of stealing big time shows from the larger clubs and again she steps out with a match that smacks of big time stuff and no less.
Black is one of the best boys at his weight in the country. He has beaten some of the topnotchers and will beat more whenever he gets the chance. In his last two bons Jimmy has shown his real self and has come home way in the lead after ten rounds of battling.
Just two weeks ago he fought at this same little Ontario club and beat Freddy Imperial another one of the wild swinging boys from the Islands, from here to there. Jimmy
seems to have Filipino boys numbers. There hasn't been one Filipino that has beaten him. He just seems to have a jinx on the Island boys, that they can't get away from.
Jimmy is just getting started. He started out in one bout the first of the year and then old man flu got him and he just couldn't shake him. The flu kept him out of the ring for months, but he is the Jimmy Black of old now and is going like he has never gone before.
Nationlista Good
But while looking at Jimmy and undoubtedly the boy is plenty good we must not overlook the fact that this Filipino boy is plenty good himself. Nationlista has been in the big money. He has fought the very best in the country and still can give the boys on the up and up a go for their money. In his last fight with Fidel La Barba the Filipino had Blakes boys on for dear life in a couple of rounds, but La Barba outsmarted him and held on until he cleared his head and out boxed him to a decision.
What Jimmy wants to look out for is that right hand. Nandinaista hits like a trip hammer with that right mitt and if he lands just right they might as well turn out the lights until next week, because she means curtains and no less.
The Filipino is fresh from Arizona, where he has been knocking them all out.
The west end folks have some nice entertainment this week.
It will be a battle of right hand vs. a left hook and I am prone to string with the left hook. Its more certain than the wild right hand swinging.
YANKEES OUT IN THE COLD
The Philadelphia Athletics have gone and done it. Mack's men beat the World's champions in a double header on Labor day to cinch the pennant in the junior circuit. The Mackmen hit George Pipgrass hard to take the first victory over the Yanks' star hurler, and they came right back in the second game to take the lay away from Hugman. Although it was Labor day and the Yanks labored hard they couldn't come out in front once during the day.
28 Games to be Played
There remains twenty-eight games to be played in the American league and even if the Yorkers won every game from now until the end of the season, they couldn't head the flying Athletics. Philadelphia has played jam un baseball all the season. They took the play right away from New York. The Yankees had a team on paper looked beginning of a good or possibly better than the nine that beat St Louis numerically last year in the World Series.
The team that took the Cardinals city last year in four straight games for the world's championship showed it self only in spots this year. For a few games the Yankees would show their real form and then just about the time they would be pulling out of a hole, they would go into a slump. Even when the Athletics would go into a slump, the Hugman would fall right in their tracks and slump too, whether they had just come out of an orgy of losing games or not. It made them no difference. Usually the Yankees have a slump around the first part of August, but hereforefore they have had enough behind them to snap out of it.
Players in Slump
The team being in a slump naturally threw the players in a slump. Ruth is just finding himself, when the season is shot. The old Bambino is hitting them right and let now. For awhile he couldn't hit the broad side of any body's barn. And then he snapped out of it to come from way behind to take his honors back as "Home Run King." For awhile any and every body was hitting more home runs than the man that made
them famous and was supposed to be the king pin in the rackett.
The Babe leads both leagues now with forty circuit smacks to his credit. Gehrig Not Himself
Lou Gehrig, Ruth's side kick at smacking homers has not been himself all summer either. Lou was favored by many to take the play away from the Babe in respect to homers this season.
The chunky first baseball man has played good ball as far as his taking care of the initial sack is concerned, but he just has fallen down on the hitting.
Catchers on the Bum
And now comes what I think is the reason the Yankees haven't been the real Yanks all season. During a great part of the season the Yankees first string backstops have been under the weather. For weeks and weeks they had to use rookies, when the old steady heads were needed most. The rookies couldn't work the bullers as they should have, because they lacked experience.
So right here lies the while trouble
A tough break for the Yorkers, but
it can't be helped.
STILL TALKING ABOUT
CARTER
BY: ART HAMILTON
Everywhere you go all you can hear is "Wilcat" Carter. The Little Blue Streak has made a name for himself in the city of the Angels and they like him. Every sport fan in Los Angeles is talking about Carter. If you go into a restaurant, you hear Carten, "Wildcat," Blue Streak and "Man" wasn't he fast! If you go to the Y. M. C. you hear Carter down there. There is a fellow living down at the "Y" who is from Seattle and is a personal friend of Leslie's and between him and the writer the "Cat" name is discussed pretty much. The Dunbar Hotel just teems with folks that want to see the Streak from up north. You can't get in the lobby for the crowd of rabid fight fans that want to shake the kid's hand tell him how good he is.
And those that didn't see the fight and heard it over the radio are talking about the Seattle kid just as much as those that had the pleasure of seeing him perform. It's worth the price of admission just to see the kid walk in the squared circle with that million dollar pair of legs of his. Those legs and that left hand are the things that make him such a wonderful fighter He stays on his toes from gong to gong and is setting a pace that is a pistol.
No getting around it the kid is wonderful and no less. Los Angeles wants him for her very own.
GOING TO SEATTLE
"Wildcat" hurt his right arm in the "battle Tuesday and he is going to take a little trip up to Seattle, for a rest before he accepts any more fights.
BLAINE NELL AUGMENTS
NEW POLICY
The Blain-Nell Country Club has started a new program altogether and in the future will be open to the public only on Saturday and Sunday nights. The rest of the week will be given over to private parties. This course had to be taken because of the unusual demand for parties in the beautiful country road house.
Every night in the week will be given over to these parties excepting Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. Venerable, the owner of Blaine-Nell intends to rid his place of all the unpleasant element and wants the public to feel that they are safe in his club. From now on no roughness will be tolerated in any form or fashion.
Mrs. Venerable will have personal charge of all parties and will do everything in her power to assure a real time and a successful party.
The club can't be beat for parties. Located as it is away out away from
the teeming city, it is just the place for that wonderful little party you have been wanting to pull off.
The famous Twin Brothers still furnish the music that is right on out of this world.
Mrs. E. H. Boyer, Mrs. Cameron, the jolly Angelinos and Mrs. J. M. Francis have all had dinner dances at the Blaine-Nell during the last couple of weeks and they were more than pleased
For Saturday and Sunday, nights Blaine has hired some of the best entertainers in town to give you the best in had time.
Margaret Jones, Edward Jones and Edith Thompson make up the personnel of Venerable's entertainers. And when it comes to doing that little thing they are right there and no less.
Big Feature At APEX NIGHT CLUB
Henry Starr, Famous Radioland Artist, Guest of Honor at Apex, Nite Club-StepinFetchit, Movie Star, Evelyn Preer, Stage Star and Many Other Big Timers of the Show World Present Wednesday night, Professional Night.
Henry Starr of Oakland, California, demonstrated to the Nite Club goers of Southern California just why they are so wild about him up in northern California, Wednesday night at the Apex Club.
It was professional night and the headliners were certainly there. Never before have I seen such an array of big time talent all in one spot as they were last Wednesday night at Curtis Mosby's "Fun Palace."
Now to get on to this Starr boy, Nothing is too good for this kid, if I wrote from now until I am fifty I couldn't begin to tell you how good he is. Just for a starter I will tell you this. He got five encores. I am counting the ones he answered. Starr could have played and sung all night if the patrous had had their way. Henry started off with this most beautiful radio access of the Day." The radio access is hard to oceide which he does better, play the piano or sing. We won't say any one was better than the other, both of them are right on out of this world.
Starr finished the "End of the Day",
but that wasn't the end of his singing.
by any means. Mossy's guests went
wild, hog wild when the Oakland boy
bished his number and he just had
to come back and do it again. This
time the radio artist did that well
known number, "That Old Fashion
Love." Ana oh me, oh my, what did
he want to do that for, he just started
something that was going to keep him
busy for some few minutes. "That
Old Fashion Love" stopped the show,
literally, materially and in every other
sense of the word that can be
implied to stopping something.
STILL NOT ENOUGH
After stopping them dead still, even
that wasn't enough and he had to
come back for still more. Man, man,
how that boy can sing and tickle those
tworms.
This time he brought them back to life after stopping them dead in their tracks with his latest Brunswick Recording "Smiling Through A Broken Heart." And where he had them listening in silence before, he charmed (Continued on Page Ten)
SANTA FE BOOST PRICE OF PULLMAN PORTERS MEALS
Pullman Porters will eat their last thirty-five cent meal served to them by The Fred Harvey houses on The Santa Fe Lines, Aug. 31st. On Sept 1st. The famous meals, known and released by every Pullman porter in the United States, will take a soar in price from thirty-five cents, to fifty cents while this will not keep the Porter from eating entirely it seems to be safe prediction that their will not be a general stampede when the general call for dinner is announced. For many years the name Fred Harvey has ment much to the Pullman Porters. It has figured in too collars and cents on their expense account across the continent. Their is not another railroad in the country that has been as reasonable in prices to the Porters as the Santa Fe. The exceptional low price of thirty-five cents for the kind of meals that they have served, was the means of a code of advertising throughout the country by train crews and porters where ever traveled. The Santa Fe could always rely on the crews for a boost instead of a knock, and the chief topic of conversation would always center around the good meals put out by Fred Harvey. I have many times heard the remarks made by a porter, that he would rather dead head across the continent over the Santa Fe, then go in line over any of the other roads. Whether the boost in price will endeavor to change their minds in this respect, remains to be seen. But at the present it means another increase in the Pullman Porters expenses it seems as if the poor Pullman Porter is in for another hard year of suffering and sacriacising. Surely we will not have to die and go to Heaven beore we reap our just reward.
PULLMAN OFFICE TO CHANGE
HEADQUARTERS
Every Superintendent that comes to Los Angeles has his, own idea as to how he wants to run things. And during the past five or six years, Los Angeles has been constantly undergoing a change.
Mr. Roth came to Los Angeles from San Francisco, and stopped the Porters from getting their checks at the up-town office, establishing an office in the S. P. Yards, with Asst. Supt. R. W. Taylor in charge. Now Mr. O. W. Snoddy enters the district and will move the entire up-town office to the North East corner of 7th and Central Ave. in the near future when the present lease expires. It is also being whispered around that he will do away with Mr. Taylor's office altogether, bringing his entire personel under one roof, where he can watch them with an eagle eye, Mr. Snoddy has not assumed the attitude of everybody works but father. But of everybody works with father. By locating at 7th and Central, he can make the S. P. station and yards on a minutes notice. And I'll tell the world, that he's funny that way.
MANY PORTERS LEAVE
SERVICE
You never miss them until you hear that they are gone, some how or other they just drop out of sight, and Los Angeles being a very busy district, one is suprised when you hear that so and so is no longer with the Pullman Co.
A few that have left the service for various reasons, are Lafette Hall, W. Tones, Wiley, Eddie Nash, Wm. Harrison, D. D. Washington, J. Worthham, Anderson, and O. W. Brown, they are doing different things, J. Worthham is now working in the city hall at a salary of one hundred and twenty-five dollars a month. Anderson is a private policeman for a big bank in town, and looked very prosperous the other day when I saw him at the wheel of a Nash sedan. D. D. Washington has been preparing himself for law practice for the past five years, and will soon take the State bar examination. L. Hall is a cabinette maker by trade as well as an interior decorator and a mighty good one at that. From the work he has done in Coronada, he may come very near getting his own price, he also receives a pension from the Government, and is setting on the moon with his feet hanging down, so even though the writer is hanging on the best way that he can, please do not get the idea in your head that when a porter leaves in your head service he will stave to death, T. D. Yancey left about five years ago, and during that time he has worked up to a brand new Buck seed and a healthy bank account, and a flock of red hot frosts that he sure didn't have when he was getting his orders from Mr. Ross. A man never knows what he can do until he tries, H. W. Weeks never even dreamed that he could work in the S. P. Yards, until O. W. put him their, I believe that Mr. Weeks has been making steady time their for about four or five months now, and getting on the job with the proper rest in his own bed every night. He can now go home and lay down with the feeling that he will not have to get up and answer the bell every five minutes.
SICK LIST
B. Bellion is now in the Santa Fe Hospital, having undergone an operation for appendicitis.

Mrs. A. W. Starks returned home last week after an extended visit in the South. Mr. Starks is beginning to look better already. Whether from getting a square meal or staying home nights we do not know. Mrs. Starks reports having a wonderful time, but says their is no place like dady and Los Angeles.
MR. L. A. COFFIN PLANING
VACATION
Mr. L. A. Coffin, Tullman Porter Instructor is making great preparations for his vacation, which he takes next week. He has been cleaning his guns for the past week and the doves will have a hard time keeping out of his way. The writers address is 2190 West 30th Street. A few fried doves in my house would help to continue the already peaceful atmosphere that exists, but be sure and put a gang of ice on them, and if you leave Zula King at home he will not have to undergo an operation to have gun shot extracted from his anatomy.
Wm. Asbury had the honor of having his name in the top row last week, they can't do that!
