SCHOOL TEACHER IN MURDER ASSAULT Race Girls in Training at the Highland Hospital of Alameda County, California VOLUME 42 SCHOOL Race Girls in Training at Alameda County Early in the year of 1924, the attention of the Alameda County League of Colored Women Voters was called to the training of race girls in County Hospital by Mrs. O. M. Ruffin, a member of the League, believing that a strong organization should back this proposition, the League accepted the work and responsibility and immediately proceeded to formulate plans for the training of their girls in said Hospital. Mrs. O. M. Ruffin was appointed Chairman of the work and Mrs. B. Allen, Secretary, with a number of League women as committee members. The struggle year after year was long and tiresome, for there were conferences held sometimes with representatives of the Medical staff of the city and county hospital (now known as the Feirmont), the County Institutions' Commission, and the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. Questions pertaining to the training of the nurses were addressed at the Los Angeles County Hospital were prepared and forwarded to the Superintendent of Nurses, and acknowledgments received always favorable to nurses. The League never ceased to keep in touch with the officials in whose hands the balance of power rested. Promises were made, but the League pressed forward in its demand for recognition of their ambitious girls. Four years had elapsed and yet the goal had not been reached. The former Chairman resigned, and on the 12th of September, 1928, Mrs. L. M. Dixon was made chairman of the Hospital Committee and Mrs. Allen was made chairman as Secretary. The Chairman and her Committee were realized that it had utterly failed to establish a case because there were three requisites necessary: First—Find the girls who wanted to train. Second—To make application. Third—To meet necessary requirements. With this in view, they passed on the report the latter part of January and began campaigning. The result was a conference with the Superintendent of Nurses, Miss D Donn Urch, and the Estimate Mgt. Let. Morges, Mrs. H, B. Tilghman, and three applicants—Marjorie Lake, Zola Morgen and Mae Belle Booker—who received application blanks. The reception Pioneer's Estate Makes High Class Subdivision Jefferson L. Edmonds, pioneer and editor of the Liberator, whose foreseen in locating acreage years ago, gives our group a high class subdivision today. Arriving in Los Angeles in 1893, he established the Liberator in 1895, of which he was the able editor and a staunch champion of the cause of the Negro. He purchased this present sub-division in 1902 and resided there during his lifetime. This subdivision will be the Beverly Hills of our group, being splendidly located near the University of California and Loyola College also convenient to Beverly Hills, Hollywood and the Ocean. The streets are paved, with water, gas, electricity and sewers rapid transportation, within three blocks of car line and six blocks of business centre of Sawtelle. C. G. Hart, licensed Real Estate broker and builder with offices at 3815 Central Ave., has the exclusive sales of this beautiful subdivision. Syl Steward Draws Sentence of 1 to 14 Years in San Quinten Sylvester Steward former Bail Bond Broker who plead guilty to the crime of Extortion, was sentenced to serve from one to fourteen years in San Quentin by Judge W. C. Doran. Steward was formerly the owner of a resort at Tia Jauna, he had differences with authorities at that place and was forced to leave, he came to this city and was in the Bail Bond business at the time of his arrest. was very cordial to the Committee. Two girls who met the requirements were Miss Edna Temple, a graduate of Technical High School and a student of the State Normal at San Jose; and Miss Juanta LeBoeuf, graduate of Roosevelt High School. These girls who had first registered with the League were eager to pioneer the way. Previous to the acceptance of these applicants, there arose the question of upper, middle and lower third scholastic rating, with particular reference to the colored girls. This was so definitely expressed that the Committee, after discussing at length with the Superintendent of Nurses, made a few outside investigations that materially helped, and resulted in elimination of that specific reference, but not bridging the crisis. To be able to meet the critical turn of affairs, the Committee solicited assistance from the East Bay Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Division. The aid, so wholeheartedly and quickly given, removed the least vestigia of debt, and the two young women were requested to port for duty August 20, 1929. No other organization was appealed to for assistance. Nettie B. Modeste, who is a trained nurse and a graduate of Freedman Hospital, Washington, D. C., gave us valuable advice and assistance, which enlightened and helped us and which proved to be an absolute necessity. In less than four months after the time the new Chairman began active work, applications for entrance at Highland Hospital was a matter of record, due to the enthusiasm she injected into her - Committee. They were zealous and untiring workers, and deserve much credit. There is a work—the first usually means failure, the second spells success. The Alameda County League of Colored Women Voters responded to the call of the President, Mrs. H. B. Tilgham, to assist in making it possible for the girls of our race to receive their civil rights. The Hospital Committee members are as follows: Mrs. L. M. Dixon, Chairman; Mrs. Bertha Allen; Secretary; Mrs. H. B. Tilgham, President; Mrs. M. C. M. Moreses, Fanny Wall Lucy Johnson, Charlie Dridsm and Miss Ruth Moore.

The lone survivor Laurence Sangston is in the General Hospital in a serious condition where he was brought and placed by John L. Hill. Sangston was at the wheel when the accident occurred at Gammon, which is 50 miles this side of Bakersfield. The men were en route to their homes in Los Angeles to spend the week end with their families. They had been employed for the past two weeks near Bakersfield. The funeral of Mr. Walton will be held Saturday at 1:00 P. M. from Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, while the other body will be shipped to Texas for burial. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Mamie Williams are relatives of Mr. Sampler while Mr. Moss is a nephew of R. W. Willis. Mr. Hill of the Angelus Funeral home received a message at 9 P. M. and in company with L. G. Robinson, President of the Home was on the scene of the accident at 3 o'clock A. M. with a party of nine persons. We have, not overlooked by any means the part that our good friend and brother in the Fourth Estate, the Hon F. M.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1929 MRS. R. L. ANDREWS Victim of Attack on Last Sunday as she appeared at the Dunbar Hospital, where she lies in a serious condition Edward D. Simpson, 48, South Los Angeles school teacher and friend of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lee Andrews of 2159- West Twenty-fifth street, is a resident of the county jail with plenty of time on his hands to think—"What a tangled webb we weave when first we practice to deceive." A few years ago, shortly after, Mr. Andrews, who was one of the best known merchants of Houston, Texas, came to Los Angeles for his health, the two families became acquainted, which acquaintance soon waxed into a warm friendship; the Andrews family having known Mrs. Simpson when she was Miss Hettie Jenkins and a resident of Houston, Texas. In an interview with an Eagle reporter, Mr. Andrews said that on Friday evening, Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Andrews attended a social function MRS. R. L. Victim of Attack on Last Su Dunbar Hospital, where sh together while Prof. Simpson and their little step-daughter spent the evening with me, and we were happy each in the company of the other. Prof. Simpson was highly intelligent, and apparently a cultured gentleman, hence I had no reason in the world to suspect that he was other than loyal to his profession of friend ship. PLANS ATTACK Evidently Simpson, who knew that Mrs. Andrews owned some valuable diamonds, had a Pasadena engagement with Mrs. Simpson for Sunday afternoon, and no doubt would have them out for use on this occasion, hence he waited until Mr. Andrews left for Wesley Chapel M. E. Church of which he is a member and a teacher of the Bible Class, when he called at the house at about 10:00 A. M. and complained that his car had gone dead around the corner, and he desired to use the telephone. Mrs. Anrews being glad to be of little service to her friend turned to Thomas Spikes Pioneer Citizen Located At Las Vegas Thomas Spikes well and favorable known throughout the length and breadth of California was located on a recent trip which the writer made to Boulder Dam, at Las Vegas, Nevada, where he conducts a thriving business in the same line for which he became noted as one of our leading tonsorial artists. Thomas Spikes is dubbed the double of the editor of the "Soaring Eagle" and is often taken for him. Withal he is not only enteractic and wide awake for business, but also a five wire in the community and was largely instrumental in making the meeting for Congressman DePriest the success it was on his recent visit to Las Vegas. BUSINESS MEN AT SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Business Men and Women of Los Angeles are invited to attend a special service at Second Baptist Church, Griffith Ave. and 24th Street, Sunday evening, Oct. 20th at 7:30. The pastor of the church, Dr. T. L. Griffith, will preach a sermon form the text: "And thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow, And the Lord shall make the head and not the tail." He will briefly discuss three points ```markdown ``` point the way when, as quick as a flash, [the] burglar-school teacher struck her a terrific blow on the back of her head with a window weight, and felled the women to the floor. Mrs. Andrews was stunned but not entirely unconscious, however, she stretched out if dead. Her assailant went up stairs where he overhaulled everything in search of valuables. So busy was he that he failed to hear Mrs. Andrews as she drew herself together and with a stream of blood flowing from her head made her way out of the back entrance, and across the street to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Reinh Roseberry 2464 Grammacy Pl. when the police were quickly notified—and just as Simpson with about $50.00 worth of loot attempted to get away, he was met by acting Captain Werneir of the Wilshire homicide de ANDREWS today as she appeared at the e lies in a serious condition tail and detective Lieutenants Sauter and Wilson, who ungraciously forced their attention upon him, and conveyed one of the meanest criminals Los Angeles had to his resting place, in the County Jail. Mr. and Mrs. Sim Johnson friends of long standing of the Andrews were first on the scene, being present when Mrs. Andrews was taken to the Georgia Street Receiving Hospital for emergency treatment. At present Mrs. Andrews the victim of the school teacher's murderous attack is in a serious condition at the Duntar Hospital, under the profesional care of Doctors Booker and Jackson. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews who own property valued at something like One Hundred Fifty thousand dollars in Los Angeles are the parents of Richard T.

The "Flash" our local magazine came right on through and gave its near relative in the newspaper world really good support, and stands out as the only local group publication which sent greetings and congratulations on the 50th Anniversary of the "Soaring Eagle". We are glad to note this unselfish and broad gauged position upon the part of the Editors of this particular publication and shall ever express our profound appreciation for the same. of vital interest to the economic condition of the race: First—The pastors and the Business men; How can they help each other? Second—Who is to blame for racial failures in business patronage, the Business Men, or the Rank and File? Third—How can the Business Men help the Race to Understand the need of Race Loyalty in Business Patronage? A few years ago Dr. Griffith delivered several public addresses on Business Topics which were published in our papers and which attracted wide spread comment and interest. The Business Men and Women of Second Baptist Chorch are joining in the invitation to the public to attend this service next Sunday night. ```markdown ``` Prominent Pioneer Businessman Praises Efforts of the Soaring Eagle The motto of THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE is that nothing is too good for the Colored citizens of Los Angeles. Through the uniting efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Bass, proprietors and editors of the oldest Los Angeles newspaper published in the interest of the Colored people. Our City has been greatly honored with an extended visit by the Honorable Oscar DePriest and his lovely and gracious wife. You can always depend upon that glorious bird of phey (The California Eagle) for he has never failed us. This particular time through the Lordish efforts of our honored guest, Congressman Oscar DePriest, the Eagle has helped us to find ourselves. Well, he's hoping that the California Eagle may live a thousand years and grow Ligger and better each succeeding year. The Colored people of Los Angeles have had the supreme pleasure of seeing and listening to an address delivered to them by the Honorable Oscar DePriest, a Colored American Congressman who represents not only the first and most wealthy congressional district of the great State of Illinois, but twelve millions of Colored citizens as well. A signal honor such as has not come to the deserving Colored citizens of the United States of America for the past Thirty years. Congressman DePriest is a brave and fearless lover of his race, a possessor of a high degree of native intelligence and a political genius of great merit. He has through his own efforts successfully crashed through the stonewalls of American color prejudice and marched in our National Congress in spite of all obstacles. Thus proclaiming to a waiting world there is yet a chance for him to succeed, an investment in the United States of America. We have been deeply interested in the very remarkable and unusual story of Mr. DePriest's life as told by himself; of the many struggles and trials which with force of character, will and determination he has successfully overcome, most of all his final success which should be an incentive, an inspiration to the Colored youth of our race. Then too the splendid advice coming as it did from one of our own race, who is not only qualified but deeply interested in our welfare and working with might and main for our civic and political rights, which for fifty years we have been fulfilling, but we have found few citizens for, but we have found many of them are willing to help us to obtain them. Said he, "what we need and must have is a Political organization, that will function 365 days in each year. No mushroom organization of overnight growth will ever get us anywhere." He urges us to organize permanently and stay organized; MARY E. REED Sojourner Truth Industrial, Club celebrated its 25th anniversary with a Silver Jubilee last Sunday Afternoon. Not only was this a celebration of its 25th anniversary, but it was also the beginning of the new slogan $10,000 for a greater Sojourner Truth Home. Sojourner Truth Home must be enlarged to meet the demand of the large and increasing number of girls who are asking admittance, but who are turned away daily for lack of room. Under the leadership of Mrs. M. D. Scott, the undaunted, unconjurable, peerless president, who knows no failure, and who has a way of installing the same spirit in her women, "Greater Sojourner Truth Home" is already built in spirit, the reality will be only a matter of a short time. The celebration was staged in the beautiful spacious back yard which was decorated with the Stars and Stripes. Highlights of the program presented by Mrs. Mattle M. Stafford was the origin of the club buiMr. James Alexander. History of the club by Mrs. Etta V. Mosley, Greeting from Dr. H. Claud Hudson, Father Cleghorn, Impersonating Sojourner Truth in telling her history by Mrs. Olivia Wilson, spelling of "Greatest Sojourner Truth Home" by 25 little girls in charge of Mrs. Lauretta Butler and presenting the past presidents of the club. only in that way can constructive work be done which will protect our group interest and bring to us the long deferred Civil Rights and respect due us as American Citizens. We have many deserving men and woman in our race, who possesses all the splendid qualities in full rounded and heaped measure, necessary to successful leadership. Such leaders must of necessity be above the ordinary wants of life, either he or she must possess the financial requirements, or the race through organization must supply them; for he who serves others successfully and well, is without doubt a servant, worthy of his hire. Our revolutionary Fathers proclaimed and issued a memorial to the world declaring that, "Taxation without representation is Tyranny." They also petitioned Almighty God to assist them in demonstrating the fact that their claim was just and right, for that cause they declared war and with the aid of the Negro people of our country drove their unjust English rulers from our shores. They also declared in the Declaration of Independence, that God created all men are born heirs to certain inalienable rights, namely: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They established a representative government by the people, for the people and in the interest of all people. For such was clearly implied, but the pity of it is that today many of the lesser breeds without the Law are in this day and time trying to change the real meaning of that immortal declaration. In a way that was never intended by our Country Fathers; instead of a men being born free and cruel and beloes to certain inalienable rights they wish to breathe into it the word, "WHITE men," but the stonewall behind which white America has rested her unjust cause against the Cioned citizens has been successfully crashed and broken down. In years to come our White people must take into consideration the Negro peoples' inherent ability to survive, before resting their unjust claims against Negro development and progress, for the same reason they have not only grown up, but have made their wonderful and unprecedented progress with the Negro people and not without them. Making their duty to Colored Americans and the solving of the so-called Color line problem so plain that the most ignorant and prejudiced White man should be able to see plainly that we cannot build a lasting and Nation, and our destiny with such an important element of our population as the Negro people left out. BY: CHAS. C. FLINT. Theodore Williams in a semi-intoxicated condition, entered the home of Mrs. Gettrude Howell, $507 Hooper Avenue on last Tuesday, where she was busily engaged in attending to her household duties. Williams attacked her and left her in unconscious condition. He proceeded on down Hooper Aye., met Mrs. Leura Hawkins and Mrs. Goodwin of 3517 Hooper Ave. and told them of what he had done. They investigated and found Mrs. Howell in the condition as stated above. The neighborhood was aroused, excitement ran high as the man hunt was put on. Williams was soon captured and only the timely arrival of the police saved the brute from being roughly handled. He was placed in the county jail and is held without bail. Much enthusiasm was created by the friendly rivalry of the club members who were divided into the Blue and the Gold side headed by Mrs. Gettrude Bartlest blue, and Mrs. Fannie Williams gold. The Gold side won with $63. The Blue $55. Mrs. Fannie Williams was presented with a beautifl cake for bringing in the largest amount of money. Punch was served in the yard, with Mr. Alphus Osborne in charge, and which ended a most interesting and successful afternoon. ONE WELL MEANING colored brother has taken issue with me on the Bob Shuler "Negro Problem" articles. Well, I am so glad I have reached that point in my experience where I am pleased to have people differ with me in opinion without getting angry with them. However, this dear brother seems to have read only my lament it, the irade, and he seems to think that this teacher's criticism concerning the Negro's slam bleaching, etc., was quite right, as also its attitude against the Negro's desire for social equality. Thus far I have said nothing about Shuler's advice to the Negro concerning skin "bleaching" for I consider his remarks along this line ridiculous. However, since my dark brother under the skin has seen it to bring it up I will say in this connection that the Negro in straightening his hair and bleaching his skin is doing as he has always done, even in things of greater importance—imitated his white brother; for while the Negro is bleaching, the white man is tanning his skin, and too, while the black woman spends hours pulling, stretching and straightening her locks the white woman spends an equal amount of time crimping and curling hers. Our good friend Rev. Shuler spends a good deal of time that he might use herding some white lost souls into the Spiritual Fold telling Negroes what not to do, but never a mention does he make about the whites who are campaigning their originality. My colored brother who feels that every race conscious Negro desires racial purity and abhors the stigma of unlicensed miscegation, by so saying reiterates a thought advanced in our previous articles which he evidently did not read but which he and I both well know is impossible, after more than two hundred and fifty years of mixing between the white and black races. If Rev Bob could have given his old daddy the advice he is trying to give us now, things might have been different THE WOMAN'S CITY CLUB last Monday afternoon was the scene of a rousing meeting that brought out women tom all walks of life. The first speaker for this occasion was Dr Bowles who very pleasingly described the Annul Temperance Conference which held forth at Loucern, Switzerland and was represented by delegates from all parts of the world including Africa. After which was a discussion of the recent automobile legislation. The speakers for which were Ivan Kelso, general counsel Automobile Club of Southern California; J. Allen Davis of the legal dept. and R. Jeffers of the public safety department. The meeting was held in the Majes. the Theater, and was presided over by the president, Mrs. Joseph W. Hamer, Mrs. Clara Hulbert and the scribe of this column were guests of Attorney Ashley. THE GOLDEN TRAIL, the beautiful three-act musical comedy presented by the Young People's California Club and directed by Mrs. G. A. Beavers, Jr. at Patriotic Hall, Tuesday evening was an artistic success, and adds another laurel to the many already achieved by Mrs. Beavers as a successful interpreter and producer. Upon entering the hall one's attention was instantly gripped by the beautifully costumed ushers, daughters of the Golden State, who, smiling directed each and everyone to his and her friends. And the prologue directed by Meidames Charles Mason and Anna Lee Fields was a reproduction of the period of Indian rule in this country. Customs and habits of these early Americans were well taken by fourteen little boys and girls in Indian costumes. The leading roles in the "Golden Trail" were played by George A. Beavers, Jr., as Don Carlos; Amy Ferris was Dona Barbata Alvarado, charming daughter of Don Carlos; Modeste, friend of Barbata, was well taken by Eldy Smith, while Don Pedro Carranza fitted in with the physical appearance of Kenneth Spencer with a deal of perfection. Theodore Oliver as usual was very good as Charles Harrington, daring express rider and ardent lover of Barbata. In fact, each and every member of In fact, each and every member of the cost was good. A NOTE sounded by Congressman Oscar DePriest while on the coast is re-echoed by Supervisor Frank L. Shaw, who appeared before the Board of County Supervisors asking that there be less importation of foreign labor and greater opportunities for honest employment of our own people.

In order to set up a reason for gaining control of her revenues a Philadelphia Scargant wan planted in Hati to paint a picture and publicly enlargin for home consumption the atrocities of Voodoism. Seems like nobody but the ebeony dept. of the human race indulged in such antie as charged to Voodoism. Well that portion of American citizenry that has a habit of reading the wired tails printed with malicious intent to behold it and discredit the Haitian Government were suddenly shocked over the discovery of a Cult in California composed of supposed to be civilized whites whose conduct put to shame Haitian Voodism. Folks were roasted alive poison was given its members and idiotic looking images carved from wood were worshiped instead of God the Father. We hope those same leading white magazines that took time out a few months ago to play up Negro superstition in Haiti will focus their publicity lens upon this queer body of freaks now performing here in the west and truthfully let the public know that condition are not so bad in Haiti when one learns of what is going on in America along the same lines only worse. Hey lie your tail light. Mrs Ira Smith collided in person with a bicycle last week and was painfully injured after seeing the damage done to her by a bicycle we wonder what would have happened had it been an automobile. Mrs. Chas Wilson returned home by motor from a month's vacation enjoyed in the mountains. She reports a wonderful trip. As the price paid for having been convicted of killing a Japanese while driving recklessly under the influence of liquor, Mrs. Pantages wife of he whom himself is facing charges of a criminal nature, is confronted with the unpleasant fact that a 1 to 10 year sentence hangs over her head. The matter of probation will be divided upon by Judge Hardy the end of the month. We are always sorry to hear of ones misfortune. Truly when her husband was issuing orders to his theaters to bar respectable American born citizens from occupying certain seats in his theater up and down the coast because their skins were dark little did this immigrant think the hand of fate would tap him on the shoulder. In his height of success and threatening him and his with the brand of felons and incarceration in a penitentiary the stigma of which must be handed them to heads of his children and their children. If it were any other group in the position of the Negro that had suffered humiliation and embarrassment at the hands of such a character as no who is a foreign born American living and gaining his wealth from the pocket book of American born Americans. The cry of vengeance would arise and satisfaction would only be gained through the channels a penitentiary. But the Negro has never in any case asked vengeance he has only sought justice, and in this particular case though Mr. Pantages has acted the American and against the grain of the constitution the Negro is asking that in the case of his wife justice he tempered with mercy and may we add may God who loves the universe have mercy, mercy upon him and his in the hope that they may have installed in them as a result of their injustice toward the If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Negro and prosecution on violation of the law. A new belief in the rights of human beings to be treated as such regardless of their previous conditions. Looks like the chauffer will be out of work. We have listed in our city under the head of business a manufacturing concern being the name of Hefflin. This concern is engaged at present in the business of manufacturing caskets, an article unfortunately at some time sooner or later needed in every home. Ninety-nine and ten tenths of all the business undertaking by our colored undertakers in the city is racial on the one hand. On the other ninety-nine and ten tenths of all the caskets purheased and on display by them in their show rooms are purchased from white casket factories. If there is any one business that should support race enterprise particularity of this type its own undertakers. In addition to undertaking burials they should undertake patronizing home industry and racial enterprise. Especially where price and articles are the same. We would suggest that those so unfortunate as to have to patronize any one of our several undertaking concerns with regards to selecting a casket that they ask not exactly for a Hefflin brand in particular but the equivalent, and when you have done this then go down on Central Ave and demand that those white businesses that receive ninety-nine and nine tenths of the races money and employ ninety-nine and ten tenths white clerks, demand that they employ fifty percent Negroes as clerks.

After the lecture Hon. and Mrs. DePriest and party were guests of the Chicago Club at the Eva Ann Tea Room. It is needless to say that they were feted royally. Mrs. Eva Burton is president of the Chicago Club. It would be interesting to know the total of Pasadena's talent, suffice it to say, that we are an integral part in Los Angeles' most important functions—be they musical, athletic, religious, educational or whatnot. As a special example, we are pleased to know that our own James Miller and Tillman Farice are holding their own in the speech-making Biblore chorus of "Hearts in Dixie." Just a few days ago this marvelous human ensemble held spell-bound the students of the Franklin High School and the Pasadena Junior College. The "dramatic" of Mr. Miller's tenor, robust, and the sonority and profundity of Mr. Farice's bass were the talk of the thousands of students. As for the chorus itself, well, it is second to none on the const. It could hold its own against any similar group in the country. We hope that the day draws nigh when these gifted a trained singers will make their European debut. Mrs. Biblore surely is one of our most talented women. The Nightingale (singing) contest held at the Randolph Zion M. E. Church was a success, both in its novelty an performance. The competing singers sang from behind curtains. Each sang two numbers which were judged form the standpoint of general musicianism. When two rivals are each good in his own style, it is rather impractical to say which is better. It is like comparing a delicious apple with a delicious orange; they are equal as far as quality is concerned, but neither can change its intrinsic nature to that of the other. However, it was necessary to choose between the singers and so Mrs. Bertha Spruill of Los Angeles won first prize and Miss Almo Smith of Pasadena won second prizes. Both prizes were in gold coin. Master Lonnie White is not only one of our few really gifted violin students, but he demonstrated quite recently that he has great native ability for singing and acting as well. We trust that Master White will seriously train his talents. He surely has an abundance of them. Mr. James Lewis will be missed by the Men's Gala Club at the P. J. C. this semester. Mr. Lewis will appear Tuesday night at the St. Odelia Hall, Los Angeles. The Echols Ensemble assisted the promoters of the Nightingale Contest at the Zion M. E. Church, Friday night. This orchestra is also scheduled to appear Tuesday night at the St. Odelia Hall, 53rd and Latham street, Los Angeles. SCHOOL We are glad to see "Jim" Lewis back at P. J. C. Miss Edna Powers of Topeka, Kansas is welcomed in our midst. News comes from Miss Frances Brock telling how well she is getting along at Spellman College. Miss Roberta Heard is back in school after years of absence. We glory in her courage and determination. Miss Cora Hopkins, student nurse at the General Hospital, visited friends at P. J.

Thursday. Mr Bush was formerly financial secretary of Golden West Lodge, Elks. Work called for and delivered Repatening - Larcquering - Golding Silvering Church Problems Discussed by Leaders Gulfside, Miss., Oct. 16—A.N.P.—Along the lazy waters of the Gulf of Mexico at Gulfside, Mississippi, the National Methodist Council of City Workers, comprised of pastors and social workers engaged in some type of social work with the church as a center, held their annual meeting recently. The meeting was sponsored by the Bureau of Negro Work of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Ninety-seven pastors and social workers, representing twenty cities, gathered at Gulfside, where city problems and opportunities growing out of them were presented for study. A carefully planned course of study was offered with the object of getting the churches to expand their programs and to deal directly with community needs. It was emphasized that health, employment, recreation, child welfare, housing, crime, and delinquency all are church problems which cannot be solved by the ministry which confines itself to program of worship. The council school was opened with an address by Dr. W. M. Johnson, president of Howard University, Washington. D. C. Dr. Johnson called upon the church to equip itself with spiritual fervor which finds its best expression in terms of community service. On the faculty were the following: the Rev. E. M. Conover, Philadelphia, who spoke on "Study in Church Architecture"; Miss M. E. Samspson, Philadelphia, "Training Leadership for Local Churches," and "Retreation"; the Rev. F. B. Newall, New York, "Pastoral Problems"; F. B. Washington, Atlanta, Ga., "The Local Church and Its Community"; the Rev. Jay S Stowell, Philadelphia, "Church Publicity"; and the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, director of the Bureau of Negro Worak "Church Finance." Forty minute periods were reserved before noon each day for presentation of various problems followed by open forum discussions. Discussions leaders and their subjects were: the Rev. E. W. Kelly, Pittsburgh "How I Finance My Church"; The Rev. B. F. Abbott, St. Louis, "What One Church has Done to Strangleton Methodist Missions in a Great City," the Rev. W. T. Handy, New Orleans, "A Community Center (South);" the Rev. F. S. Delaney, "A Community Center (North);" The Rev. W. C. Thompson, Philadelphia, "Chambining Mission Projects Under a Trained Worker in Religious Education;" and the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, Philadelphia, "Home-Board Administration." Bishop Walls and Shaw of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and Bishop Robert E. Jones of the Methodist Episcopal Church were in attendance at the school. A national school of this sort, giving serious study to our pressing city problems is a definite harbinger of a new day in Negro city work. It is a significant fact that practice ally of all the important social centers maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Church are direct out growths of this type of special training for Negro pastors. These now extend from New Orleans on the south to Chicago, New York, and Boston in the North. Rev. I. A. Moore Returned to Pastorate of 1st A. M. E. Zion Church For Fifth Year Rev. I. Albert Moore, who has been the successful pastor of the First A. M. E. Zion Church in Los Angeles for the past four years has been returned to the pastorate of this church for another year. The past four years' work have been years of hard work and hearty cooperation on the part of both pastor and congregation. The program for this year is large and va in Los Angeles for the past four years has been returned to the pastorate of this church for another year. The past four years' work have been years of hard work and hearty cooperation on the part of both pastor and congregation. The program for this year is large and valuable. Rev. I. A. Moore ried in its scope; and all forces are joining together for a larger and a more useful religious program for the community's good and for Christianity's good; and a bigger and better Zion in Los Angeles. This congregation invites the attention of the general public to its activities for the coming year. We are asking your cooperation in putting over this program for God and the community. We solicit the moral support of all friends of Christianity. Come and worship with us at your earliest convenience. Bobnie Brae and Court St. Rev. W. H. Rozier, Pastor Tuesday. Aug. 15th Closed the seventeenth anniversary celebration of the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church just seventeen years ago August 13th Pleasant Hill was organized with five faithful members on a borrowed lot under a borrowed tent on North West Lake Ave. The little band first gave themselves to the Lord, and the Lord added daily such as should be saved. Like the Children of Isreal God lead them by the hand, feeding them each night upon his Holy Word for he gave them a fearless leader, who diligently taught the people by precepts and example, today Pleasant Hill ranks second to none along all religious lines. Each Sunday she feeds the public food for the soul and body you are welcome to come worship with us each evening in the week and all day Sunday. Come don't worry about lunch, for the church serves dinner free of charge, each Sunday and Thursday. If you visit our services once, you will come again, for the warm cordial, spirit felt among the members cannot be duplicated.

The Ocean's Secrets There is mystery under the sun, Which never solved will be. Tis the voice of the ocean's gentle sigh Or the roar of its majesty. Who knows what the soft gentle Lays of the waves. Are whispering as they glimmer there. Or who can fathorn the text of their boom, As the storm dispels the fair. Neath the gleam of the golden sun, A turbulent soul to rest. Or they dance to the tune of The Silvery moon. As her beams proudly ride on their crest. Do the waves speak of children. Who with laughter gay, Stick tiny feet in the sands at play? Or gleefully, joyfully, splash here and now? Or the souls of the lost, who are long since gone? Or can they tell of a storm upon the sea. Where a proud ship is tossed so easily? The brave and the fair, who together will lie In the depths of the deep blue sea. Yes the gentle waves dance, As we set in the sun And wonder what they say. Many a tale they could tell of Pirates bold Or the brave, brave deeds of men. But we never shall know, where the whispers go. Twill be a mystery to the end. MRS. G. L. JACKSON What Thoughtful Parents are Reading What Thoughtful Parents are Reading Since the fall opening of school, helping the child to learn is laying heavy demands on the poor parents. Parents should be prepared, for this is a fundamental responsibility, too seldom acknowledged, to prepare their children to meet adequately fail to realize what demands will be made upon them until they are made, and then there is no time for preparation. The demands of normal, healthy interested children to learn are almost limitless. They increase as they are met, until sooner or later any parent will be discouraged at not proving the teacher the child expects and he himself would like to be. Thoughtful parents are preparing themselves for the greatest of all jobs by reading books on child study from the public libraries because they know it is fatal to bluff. The following books may assist those parents who feel they do not know exactly how to face the child and his problems: Amer. Institute of child life.— Guide to childhood. Fisher, Dorothy Canfield.—The Montessori Mother. Key, Ellen.—Education of the child. Cabot, Ella Lyman.—Seven ages of childhood. or children. Gildbreth, Lillian M.—Living with our children. Kirkpatrick, Edwin A.—Fundamentals of child study. Patri, Anglo.—Problems of childhood. Friday, October 18, 1920 BEAUTY PARLOR lectics and guarantee them.

But we did not even dream of rest, until an invitation was not only presented but pressed upon us to visit for a few days the Victorville ranch of Mrs. Lela O. Murray. Now, for years we had heard that Victorville was a barren, waistling desert, caused by lack of water supply, and may we say that to some extent this is true, especially where our people as land owners are concerned. The Murrays, however, furnish an exception to the rule. Less than a year ago they took up eighty acres five miles out from the townsite of Victorville. They have built a modern house, sunk a well that furnishes sufficient water supply for home consumption, have two cows, two horses, chickens, not easily counted, geese and hogs and an alfalfa site of twenty acres in waiting for the first shower when the seed shall be sown. We are neither horticulturists nor agriculturists, but just a little common sense convinced us that all things are possible, in the way of production at Victorville, especially for our group if consistent and united effort is made to wrest from nature's water storehouse what they need to become independent producers from the soil. While at Victorville we visited the Victor Valley News Herald and was cordially received by the editor in charge. The first annual country fair was in bloom when we reached this little valley town so prettily nestled between mountains. There was the hum-drum grinding organ, common at such affairs, ice cream, hot dogs and other vendors in regular fair style. On demonstration a sample of everything produced in the valley from hens to hay. The only Negro exhibit was a Silver Fox display from the Big Bear Silver Fox farm owned by Dr. Whittaker & Co. Victorville has a population of about 1,800; all business lines represented with modern establishments; splendid schools, lodges, churches and social clubs. Adelanto, Apple Valley, Baldy Mesa, Helendale, Hesperia, Lucerne Valley and Oro Grande are neighboring communities, all possession wonderful resources and opportunities. As we looked over the fertile valley of Victorville with its manyfold advantages for members of our group who have sufficient finance to draw from the mountains the much needed water supply we can but hope that in the near future that the more than twelve thousand acres owned by us will soon bloom and blossom with pink cheeks of prosperity. Piano Pupils Recital Briliant Success Piano Pupils Recital Briliant Success The pupil recital and opening of the Wilkins' Piano Academy, Branch No. 2, at the Friendship Baptist Church, in South Los Angeles, under the direction of Mrs. Lucille Banton-Blaychettai, proved a brilliant success. All of the pupils acquitted themselves accreditably, proving Mrs. Blaychettai to be the fine teacher that she is, having produced many fine players among the younger set in Los Angeles. Among the best that might be mentioned are: Miss Delyphenia Jackson now in Chicago, studying; Miss Juanna Terry of U. S. C.; Mr. Thomas White, member of one of our L. A. bands; Miss Florence Caurez, brilliant composer; Miss Frances Curry and others. The church was crowded before 8 o'clock, more chairs were added and standing room was at a premium. People were standing throughout the entire program from the front door to the stage. Real school spirit was shown in that there were school songs directed by a tiny tot. Baby Vivian Duckett, college yells led by that dynamic little Miss Amanda Burrett and a unique march of the pupils to the stage. Mr. George Comfort also scored in vocal solo, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Frances Comfort. Many friends of the school and Mrs. Blayechettai went down from Los Angeles. 'Among the most noted' ministers that spoke and encouraged 'the work of this young teacher were Dr. Clark of Chicago, Rev. Lively and Rev. Gordon. Prince J. E. Blayechettai, as usual was very enthusiastic in his remarks and brought the house down with applause. Prof. Wm. T. Wilkins made quite a talk about the work of the school system of Los Angeles, Bakersfield and the Branch in South Los Angeles, also spoke of several new branches he intends to open soon. He rendered a piano selection and received an ovation as usual. Mrs. Blayechettai has a large class in South Los Angeles, also quite a class in Los Angeles. We are proud of our instructors and wish them much success. VISIT THROUGH EASTERN STATES Mr. and Mrs. W. W.

Youths assume the por- tentous responsibilities of a family at a time when: few woul credit their capacity to deal wisely and well with a family. And all engage daily with problems of sorts, which are barely and inadequately disposed of ere a new contingent is at hand. But is this as calamitous as it seems? The majority mud- dle through, under a “lycky star,” to a reasonable success, which rewards each in proportion to his good intentions. Youd gains in inspiration what it lacks in discretion and balance, an no doubt there are guardian angels that lend a hand where it is most needed. The necessity for a decision is evidence that the one who must decide is probably capable of making it with a fair chance of success. It is the challenge that makes ‘the strong stronger and the weak weaker. ‘ 7 To youth it is consoling to know that wisdom: is not necess- urily a cqncomitant of age, that there is some basis for saying “there is no fool like an old fool” Old fools are usually.those who in their youth evaded responsibilities, followed the path of least resistance and avoided making decisions. And society is often mstaken when it brands as a “young fool” the youth who Marries young, acts on snap judgment, assumes formidable re- sponsibilities and recklessly.tackles every problem. A Pennsylvania storekeeper has been able to retire after 35 years behind the counter because his customers in the last decade have been more prompt in paying their bills than were his customers during the first twenty-five years. He says there are fewer deadbeats in 1927 than thre were in 1892. How is this to be reconciled with those forelorn lamentations so often heard nowadays about the world going to the dogs, crime waves, loss of faith in humanity and many similar prophecies fearful to contemplate? . And the people who pay their debts on the first of the month do not all live in that one village and don’t all trade at that one general store. A national association of credit men has accumulated statistics showing that ninety-five per cent of Americans pay their store bills promptly, and of the other five per. cent the majority are slow but sure pay. Few of the miil- ions of automobiles sold in this country every yezr are sold for cash, and yet the loss resulting from “bad credit” is less than one-half of one per cent. Fifty per cent of the retail business of this country is done on a credit basis, according to credit men. The traditional thir- ty days’ credit is still in widespread use and the deferred or partial payment plan of buying is in universal use where large amounts are involved. Where there is so much credit, there must be trustworthy people. A TOWN’S BEST BOOSTER __A writer in a current magazine observes “if the newspaper is just a little better than its town, the latter is the gainer thereby.” Towns and their newspapers usually lag or lead together. Progressive journalism is the unfailing tonic of the lethargic community, but it is equally true that a lifeless newspaper can seriously retard the development of its community. ‘ There is no better community assets than a home news- paper equal to the needs of the community. While a poor newspaper is better than none to the individual reader, that does not hold true for the town. - What can a good newspaper do for its community? _ It can serve as the town’s messenger to the outside world. It must take the leadership in all community projects if they are to be successful. It is the infallible line of communication between local government and citizen. It is to the newspaper that’all or- ganizations turn for assistance in public welfare movements and without that assistance they face failure. _The newspaper reaps the reward of its initiative by shar- ing in the general improvement of business and community af- fairs it has been instrumental in bringing about. The good newspaper deems it a pleasure to serve its community and its readers and is fully aware that it is only through giving a full measure of service that it can progress and prosper. It will soon be time to start liking summer better than winter. Odd signs of disappearing feminism: College girl ha spet mouse, ‘The person who pines over his hard luck needs to spruce up a bit.

The grand auditor of B. P. O. E. of W. is trying to bolster up a bad case when he reports that there is not a paucity of funds in the grand lodge treasury. With the boasted increase in the‘number of additiona lodges in the past seven years there should be an increase rather than a decrease in the funds, and that with full regard for the num- ber of “activities” inaugurated during that time. We are com- pelled to look upon the educational fund as one set apart. Most of it was raised through special effort of the subordinate lodges and to be used for the purpose of creating scholarships. That fund, says J. E. Allen, grand auditor is “approximately” $29,- 1000.00 on deposit with the Douglass National Bank, Chicago. | Then he is alleged to state further that “One bank book on the Binga State bank, Chicago, shows a balance to date on deposit, and credited to the general fund,-:$3,081.75, another book on the same bank showed deposits of $5,000, In the Douglas Nat’l. Nat’l. Bank, Chicago, there WAS on deposit, August 15th, $7,255.83, while in the Commercial Bank of Wil- son, N. C. There IS on deposit, belonging to the general fund $5,038.89, two accounts (amount not given) in the Metropolitan Bankers Trust company show an interest payment, made on July 31st, $103.46 and on the other $6.60, We are going to al- low you to compute this report. At the meeting held in Cleve- land, George Bates, then grand secretary, reported $10,000 in Liberty Bonds alone. What became of them? The G. L. treasury approximated $100,000. How it has dwindled! Why should there be an increase to $1.00 per capita tax when there has been such a big increase in the number of lodges made? Those are pertinent questions. They are being asked by every members who for the past twenty-five years have been oiling the machine. | Cc @ te a Te In Georgia an elderly woman has been convicted and sen- tenced to death for murder. She is supposed to have shot and killed a young man, a printer, whose life she had insured. It is but one more instance showing what the greed for money will do. She lived to the age of 71 years then allowed avarice to get the upper hand and place her life in jeopardy for little ‘money. It is hardly possible that the state of Georgia will al- low a woman, a white woman, to hang. The date for the sen- tence has been fixed, but, no doubt, considering her burden of 71 years and the few that she has before her, the remainder of her life will be spent behind the prison walls. This is a pe- culiar age. Crime does choose associates. Youth, middle age and the senile, all seem to listen to the wiles of the Siren and are lured to inevitable destruction, It used to be overlook- ed as criminal when life was taken in the heat of passion or ‘as a vengeance for some wrong, real or fancied. But now, nine out of ten lives taken with violence are the result of greed nd avarice. The racateer: the bandit: are all the offspring bf mercenary ideas, ‘ % . ‘ | The Universal Protective Association, with headquarters at Los Angeles, has filed with the secretary of state, Frank €. Jordan, an application for incorporation. The: association is formed to abolish racial, religious and caste discrimination. All right brothers, and if incorporation will help any let’s in- corporate a couple of times. We did not know any of the per- sonnel or incorporators. We do hope that they have some concrete plan whereby the task undertaken may prove success- ful. The undertaking is a hurculean one. Racial antipathies may be ameriolated but never eradicated. We are not writ- ing from a color point of view but a racial.ione. All caucasian races are not in accord any more so than races that are non- white. There may be more amenity between a white and non- white peoples than between two all white, or vice versa. At any rate we bid the Universal and Protective Association a fair path and a success beyond measure. se 8 * « A copy of the Evening Daily Journal, Portland, Oregon, was laid on our desk the other day and knowing its strong l¢aning toward the Democratic party looked to see some ad- verse criticism of the/national administration or a slam at Cali- fornia’s governor. But was‘overjoyed to find the marked copy carrying a story eulogistic of the services of Mrs. Beatrice Cana- day, of that city and joining with the entire citizenry of Port- land in nominating her as a candidate for the Harmon Award. ‘The council of churches, which is composed of all churches in Portland, are the originators of the nomination. The award id a gold medal and-$1,000, an honoranium given to the person who has made an outstanding contribution toward improve- ment of race relations between all peoples in the United States, and its dependencies. This writer has contended at all times that the racial relations in Portland have so changed for the better that, in the past few years, it has attracted national at- tention; and that that change has been attributable to the ef- forts of Mrs. Beatrice Canady, But let the Portland Daily Journal tell how.it was done: ‘ | _ “Mrs. Canaday has made a notable contribu- tion in the field for which the award is made. | Some years ago it occurred to me that the white | people who disliked me and my people, said Mrs. Cannaday did not know our true selves. I reas- | oned that if they knew that I was'ambitious to be the best citizen that I was capable of being, that I wanted education, freedom, that I had the | same hopes, feelings and aspirations they had, they would not dislike me any longer. It was, in | that conviction that Mrs. Cannaday entered upon the work of trying to create a better relation be- tween her people and white folks. I determined | to. she anid. to do all noasible to firat md mv heart oS oe | c het eB , i ae ‘ou May Never Know lt Happened © | homes, multi; in number, and sometimes at- + tended by tives of ten nationalities, , and, seas 0) 100 to 250 seni. -O siders, hearing of the beauty and friendliness of these gatherings asked to be invited.

There could be no nobler endeavor. There is Bo much of appeal in it that Mrs. Cannaday has ee come nationally known. She has been soaght as a speaker and worker at great coprentions. She has on her own personal initiative fairly won the honor that the council of churches seek for her.” We can but add, she has won the honor. . 5 * 2 8 ‘ It seems to be a far stretch from the witch and heck days of the Puritans, when death was the penalty for the jone sup- posed to harbor the “evil spirit” to this enlightened time when intelligence is supposed to supplant superstition, but recent revelations of sacrificial cults and murderous hecks belie it. It used to be the concensus of thought that voodooism was in- digenous to the primitive Negro and that he transplanted it. Not so: the history of our colonial period tells of the| practice of witch-craft. Hangings of the suspected ones were numer- ous. As many as twelve at one time were hung in the public place. There is a record of two young girls who. sought to learn the secret of the occult, It became an obsession and they would consort publicly. It was determined that pe were possessed of the “evil oné,” and they accused an old bedi-ridden woman. She was hung: the girls became notorious, Front Pagers as it were and accused right and left. The wife of Governor Phillips was under suspicion. Hangings became so frequent that the Governor had to call a halt. Recently in a | California city a cult has been unearthed that promises to un- fold one of the most gruesome tales of ignorant superstition in recent annals. When the number of alleged sacrifices are checked up they may run into the score. It was claimed that they believed in resurrection and retained bodies of the dead, under the most unsanitary conditions, awaiting the return to life. Their practices of religious fanaticism promises one of the most valuable studies in the psychology of the human mind. This belief in the occult js not altogether confined to the illiterate. In one of our strolls the other evening we no- ticed a very familiar figure dart into a sanctuary of palmistry.

Of course that in itself is nothing startling. But when it is announced that the bride to be is not of Phil’s race it becomes news. Well, it’s so and furthermore Ma and Pa Cedelschoff proclaim their inten- tion of attending the wedding and giving the bride away. It is enough to send Heflin into an apoplectic fit and give serious heart failure to the army of color despisers, The parents be- lieve that Phil wil make an ideal husband for their daughter. Phil, after his marriage will go to Oxford university for a spec- ial course and make his home in England or British Guiana.

She ought to know: eight years should give onc much experience and knowledge. She says that. it can, but it will prove no easy job. That is evident. Then she lays down a number of ‘specific generalities which have all been tried and are still being tried, but the success of the trials are not obvious. Mrs. Wilderbrandt says that specific things will have to be done to make the laws effective. With that we agree. Then she lays down what these specific things are. First: Concentration of national enforcernent power to place responsibility for enforcement. Second: Complete divorcement of politics from the ap- pointments of prohibition personnel- 3 Third: Co-ordination of state and county law enforcement agencies with thei federal. : Fourth: Education of the citizens of states where prohi- bition_is not concurrently enforced, to the fact the spirit of the Constitution is being violated. 7 apes Remedying of regulations where weakness is ‘ound. The fourth specification is all right. But it is a task that we do believe the ex-Attorney General would like to under- take, At least she did not try it during the eight years of her official career as Assistant Attorney General. The other suggestions are academic. Been tried and found wanting. | wer awe weacenn Ol Other. | BY: DR. RUTH J.

Their greater number giving more force to their claim of being the right wing or the whole bird itself. Several hundred are here.

They have come hustling with pent-up emotions, some a residue of the last assemblying others new and untried.

Henry Boyd's daddy left him the Negro Baptist Publishing house with several million dollars worth of machinery, supplies and prestige, also the support and patronage of a goodly percent of the Baptist Churches throughout the south, if not east and west, the only injunction being that he maintain enough of the Boyd stamina to hold on although the combined forces of the brainstem men in the Baptist denomination should rise up against him. Henry Boyd supplied the requisite. I could understand somewhat of the will of the man as I sat and looked up to where he sat on the paltform.

DORSEY DePRIEST PARTY LOOKING OVER BOULDER DAM One has heard much, especially of late, concerning the construction of Boulder Dam, located 32 miles south east of Las Vagas, Nevada. In order to fully appreciate in every sense of the word the full benefits to be derived by all parties concerned from the erection of this 40 million dollar project, which carries with it the additional investment of additional millions, across the Colorado river in the center of a devastated, unoccupied desert, one must have not only read of it but have visited the site and gained first hand information from personal contact with those who know. There are many government propositions being paraded before the public at present that are of national importance as regards the welfare of the Nation itself and its subjects individually and collectively; but of these many projects being offered, to my mind, Boulder Dam stands in the foreground alone, as the most important piece of Congressional legislation enacted and put upon the records in the line of waterway construction involving government ownership and operation, viz that of capitalistic control and operation since the erection of the great Panama Canal which made it possible for the completion of a canal waterway American controlled, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific seaports of America with those of Europe and Asia which includes Japan, China, Russia and the Phillipine Islands. The recent visit of Congressman De Priest of Illinois to California afforded us the opportunity of journeying over three hundred miles of desert land and minutely inspecting the selected site; and I take great pleasure in relaying to the reading public through the medium of the California Eagle, these personal observations gleaned through being a passenger along with fifteen others who made up the party. Leaving the business office of the California Eagle on the morning of the 3rd instant at 8:45 the party of five cars arrived without mishaps or special comment in the city of Las Vegas at 4:50 P. M. of the same day, a distance of 301 miles, traveled over mostly paved and improved highways remarkably well kept, a fact behind which lays the basic foundation offering an inducement and acting as an incentive to those willing to make sacrifices and be classed as pioneers in their efforts to seek fame and fortune. To the trained eye that is used to witness the progress of civilization through cultivated channels and contact with large well-built cities strewn about in the midst of fertile lands with a population of a million or more human beings earning their livelihood from great factories surrounded by fertile valleys supplied with water facilities that permits the farmer raising crops of raw materials that supplies the factory which in turn employs the people. To those trained eyes three hundred miles of wold sandy desert land spotd frequently here and there with foot-hills and moun- tains whose inner depths are lined with millions of dollars of rich ore of all descriptions awaiting the arrival of cheap electrical power, to such, it creates an inquisitive atmosphere and one wonders why people migrate and take up abode in such a wild territory; and yet from such, civilization springs great cities rise and empires grow. Here in Las Vegas the party rested over night and was given the keys to the city by his honor, Mayor F. Hesse in person and the District Attorney, A. Harmon. The Boulder Dam was the party's main objective, it would be impossible to mention in this article the Dam itself without a word regarding Las Vegas, the gateway to the Dam, and which enjoys the distinction of being the only city located in the county, and its hospitable citizens, liminary activities out of the way, which had to do with an informal reception and the comfortable location of the party in excellent quarters, every one headed at 8 P. M. for the Majestic Theater in the heart of the town where Congressman DePriest was to make a public address. The building was packed by a representation gathering of colored and white citizens and following remarks by the Chairman of the meeting. Mr. Mitchell, the District Attorney was called upon to act as Master of Ceremonies and deliver the welcome adores. In him Las Vegas has produced an able, fearless character, full of wit, whose sincere expressions of welcome to the visitors as American citizens were later backed up and supported by added remarks which had a ring of sincerity from Mayor Hess and Dr. Martin and put into execution by the populace after the meeting. Following remarks by Mr. H. H. Proctor, an assistant corporation counselor of Chicago, and member of the DePriest party, Congressman DePriest was introduced to the audience by Editor Bass of the California Eagle, who in a few well chosen words electrified the audience with an enumeration of historical events in the life of America and the Negro leading up to the election of Congressman DePriest and the inspection of Boulder Dam. The address of the Congressman was one of the outstanding speeches delivered by him on his entire western trip. It was brief but full of importance for it had to do with the dual subject of both Boulder Dam and the American Negro, and it had the effect of cemeting a greater and warmer friendship not only between Las Vegas and the Negro but all American subjects interested in the peaceful solution of any and all American problems that spell for the safety and growth of America. At the conclusion of the meeting the visitors were shown the interesting points about town and at 7. A. M. the next morning were on their way, following a good night's rest, for Boulder Dam site, the construction of which means so much to the great Southwest in general and Los Angeles city in particular for if our city is to grow and be assured of sufficient supply of water and cheap electrical power, the two things vital to its expansion and growth, she must look forward not only to the erection of Boulder Dam; but the appropriations of sufficient funds in forms of a voted bone issue, said funds to be used in the construction of a waterway right and the installation of equipment necessary for transporting the allotted portion of the waters of the Colorado granted her if an agreement entered into between the six interested states of the Southwest As stated it is 301 miles from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and 31 miles from Las Vegas to the site of the Dam at which point the party arrived shortly after starting and spent three hours in inspecting and receiving first hand information and data concerning its construction from Ralph Criswell of the Department of Water and Power who had the party in charge. As aforesaid one must visit the site of this great project to appreciate just what the harnessing of the Colorado means to Los Angeles and the great Southwest, particularly the Imperial Valley, and adjacent territory with its 1,000,000 acres of fertile farming land, all of which more or less lies some 200 feet below sea level and offers an opportunity which the unharnessed Colorado in its present uncontrollable state takes advantage of occasionally and floods with the diastrous results that thousands, of acres of valuable farming lands are periodically inundated, towns damaged and human lives sacrificed, a condition itself impossible when the construction of the Dam is completed. (To Be Continued) Self-Expression By Carl Echols Once there was a woman who spent many dollars seeking to rid herself of a peculiar ailment, the origin and nature of which she knew nothing. She tried homeopathics, asteopathics, even chiropractics; but neither system worked a cure. She resorted to baths, bakes, and diets, but all to little good. Fact was, from all evidence her case offered a problem puzzling and unique in its strangeness, so much so that it seemed to belong not to the realm of materia medica. Doctors looked askance mighty medical minds were baffled; the patient sank in deeper gloom. When diagnosing and probing finally proved, but vain, help came. The news of the case was brought to the attention of an experienced neurologist who was also a trained psychologist, "Nerves," he said, "a case of pure nerves." And here is a gist of the conversation that followed: "Madam," said he, "your case is psychic rather than physical; you are suffering from a sort of congestion of the emotions, your nervous energy is clogging up some where. It needs to be set free, rhythmically flowing on. Madam—Express yourself! Take a part in some public performances, such as a public speech, or song, or game. Break forth from the impri- Winter League Opens Saturday and Sunday in a Blaze of Glory: Many New Faces in Line-up Saturday and Sunday will mark the re-opening of hostilities in the All-Professional Winter League at White Sox Park, for the fifth consecutive season. It will be a grand and glorious opening with plenty of bombardment from the bats of Pirrone's Major League All-Stars and Lonnie Goodwin's battalion of Philadelphia Royal Giants. Rytmic strains and peep will emanate from the bosom of a jazz band to entertain the patrons during both games of the opening with one tune of "blow music" held in obeyance to usher out the losing team of the series. Pirrone has the strongest team this year he has ever presented. A roster of his team looks like the first page of "who is who in baseball." Pirrone has a team of 14 sluggers with a team batting average of 322. However, manager Goodwin of the Royal Giants believes that he has a corps of pitchers in Brewer. Cooper. Charleston and backed up by the "old master" Bullet Rogan himself, that can silence Pirrone's heavy artillery. Also Goodwin has some heavy artillery himself to back up his pitching staff. On last Sunday with a team filled out with three pitchers fielding, the Royal Giants made a team batting average of 320 including 2 home runs, against the crack all professional El Paso Mexican team, whom they beat 10 to 3. The Royal Giants have a strong aggregation this year with plenty of new faces in the line up. The new members who are destined to be a sensation are Charleston, Taylor, Josephs Livingstone, Young and Cooper. These players will be backed up by "Murders Row" from the previous years in the person of Mackey, Rogan, Mottel and Allen. The opening of the winter league was delayed a week owing to the Championship playoff on the Pacific Coast League which closed last Sunday. This delay has given all of the players two weeks good practice and the opening on Saturday and Sunday will find all teams playing in full season form. There will be bitter rivalry in the opening game because the team winning this first series will have a jump on all the teams during the first half. Manager Goodwin is out to take both games. Shell Oil and White Kings will likewise open the season on Sunday at Shell Park in Long Beach. Foolish Vows I swore I'd never love again. For I was bitter then; I vowed that I would never wed. That I was through with men. I said I would be hard and cold; My lesson I had learned. For I had played around with fire And I was sorely burned. But I have changed, as women will My heart seems warm some how. And dear love is the only thing That matters to me now. STATE CONTEST AT THE INDEPENDENT CHURCH During the present month a State Contest will be held at the Independent Church of Christ. The Jubilee Begins on Monday, October 21st. Thursday night, the 24th, is the night allotted to the Supervisor of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Mrs. Florence Ward, of 4111 Hooper Avenue, Supervisor of the above named states. The church, as well as the Supervisor of these states would appreciate your presence at these meetings. sonment of rigid conventionality and be free. Like the flower that lifts itself in beauty, symmetry, and color to the sun-god, the dew elves and unfolids in full fruition; so expose your soul life to the inner atmosphere of peace and be free. And take you, your body out into the air and sunshine and express yourself if only to shout Hurrah!" The woman followed this specialist's advice and she was restored to normal again. Her ailment went the way of the tracklead wind, for she had learned the cure to express herself. Without doubt, self-expression would mean the cure for scores who are suffering from "emotional congestion." To paint, invent, or sing; to debate, yell, or dance are media of self-expression. Happy is he who chooses his vehicle and rides to freedom, in self-expression. PHILADELPHIA J. ALLEN REESE The City of Brotherly Love is still in the grip of its Quaker traditions and William Penn stands atop the City Hall dome commanding a view of the entire city to note, as it were, the attitude of the present day populace in the observance of the customs of their ancient foretathers. Having fully enjoyed for quite two hours the luxury of Pennsylvania Railroad travel we found ourselves at the Union Station, Philadelphia. Emerging there from and approaching the street we found the city in the grip of the strict observance of the Sunday Closing law. A stillness had gripped even Broad Street and it was all the more apparent in as much as we had just left busy, noisy. New York behind us. Everything was closed tight and some of the large department stores half curtained their show windows, thus discouraging even Sunday show window shopping. With the dawn of Monday the city was agog, streets full of rushing humanity, stores packed and doing big business. Here we found the Liberty Bell with all its majestic surroundings. Here too is Independence Hall where the first sessions of the congress of the United States were held. In Boston we were shown Ben Franklin's birthplace and here we saw his grave. Betsy Ross home where the first American Flag was made is still open to view and much historic importance surrounds the city. Many Negroes migrated to this city during and following the World War and the evidence is easily obtainable in the general direction of South St. Here the merchants are some times of the group with a high percentage of Jewish competition. Amusing indeed it was to note that the Jew who himself refuses to eat pork is here seen offering the Negro pigs feet, pigs ears, pigs tails, chitterlings and in fact every part of the hog but the squeal, cooked and ready for the table. ATLANTIC CITY From Philadelphia we cross the Delaware River over what is reported to be the longest suspension bridge in the world to Camden, N. J., the home of the Victor Talking Machine, and continue across the state to Atlantic City. The Atlantic Ocean spreads before you, the crystal beach, miles and miles of board walk, wonderful and mammoth hotels, the million dollar auditorium, massive dance palaces, and the attendance of the idle rich have all contributed to the fame of Atlantic City. Harry Henderson who spent his High School days in Pasadena was our host. His drug store measures favorably with those thereabout and it is located in the heart of that section of the city in which most of our folk are found. The professions are well represented and there are those engaged in business of various kinds. On the Board, Walk we find the display rooms of General Motors Corporation, Crane and Company, Remington Typewriter Co., Eastman Kodak Co., National Cash Register Co., and many of the other large corporations whose products are naturally advertised too, many of the Philadelphia and New York stores maintain branch stores here. Many bus lines as well as the railroads operate between the two cities and hourly service is offered the traveling public.

SPRT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES Page----Eight TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF San Bernardino Fights Well, Well the old San Bernardino Mountain Lion isn't dead by any means fictitiously speaking. Johnny proved this last Thursday night in his home town, when he knocked out Joe Arceniga in just the short space of 49 seconds in a wild and wolley bout. They are for ever talking about the old Mountain Cat being through and every fight being his last one. Just when they thisk the boy is due for the fistic scape pile he comes back in a most starling way and sends them all home talking to themselves. Some boy this Johnny Adams, you never know what he is going to do: how he is going to do it and when he is going to do it. He just ups and gives the old home town guards a pleasant surprise every once in a while. HEID ELKS TO A DRAW Johnny seems to have hit another stride. Just two weeks back he held the tough Tommy Elks the Arizona Mexican to a draw at Ontario in a slam bant but that was tight going from gong to gong. And now he takes a flier once again for the dear old home folks and in a way disappoints them by putting his man to sleep in jig time. CRUSHING RIGHT STOPS JOE The boys went after it hammer and tongs as soon as they stepped in the squared circle. Both of them are fighting fools and don't mind slinging gloves from round to round. Adams always known as a fighter from the droops of the hat fights all the time. And Joe Areceniga isn't far behind him in that respect. The Mexican will slug with the best of them. He gave Adams a terrific battle once before, before he went out in the eighth. Now To go with the battle last Thursday night. The boys walked out and went to it no stalking around. Joe battered Johnny into a corner and seemingly had the better of the going, when all of a sudden right out of a blue sky the Mountain Lion slung a right cross and it landed figush on the Mexican's chin and that was all that night. Now, Johnny, where do you go from here. Whats the next stop old boy. Are you going to suprise them again and regain all of your old time form and battle the best of them again as you did in days not so long ago? I wonder? HERMAN AND LYNCH Checkie Herman and California Joe Lynch go to the post next Thursday night for ten rounds or less. This match doesn't look so hot on paper. Herman has been on the losing end of his last two starts, major starts I mean. He lost to Huerta Evans in a main event at the Orange Belt two weeeks ago, in a thrilling bout. This boy Joe Lynch will give him plenty trouble, although he is pretty old as far as experience goes. Lynch has fought the best in the game and is still giving them a good time with the paeded mitts. Just last week he fought Santiago Zorrilla's stablemate Luis Ramos. He lost, but it was a tight bout all the way and he gave the little boy from Panama a fight and no less. He will give Checkie Herman the same thing and unless Bob White's Mexican is in the best of shape it is going to be too bad and thats no bosh. By the way he is still gunning for Jimmy Black. Negro Invents Penalty Box for Football Games From the New York Age—Oct. 14, 1929 Cleveland, O.—Harry J. Walker, colored, who is known thrughout this section of Ohio by sport fans is the inventor of a "penalty box" for football games, which flashes to the crowd each penalty as it occurs holding, offside, interference, etc. The "box" was used for the first time at the Western Reserve—Miami University game at Dunn Field last Saturday and proved a great help to the fans to determine just why certain penalties were meted out. Walker has been wig-wagging football games in Cleveland for 23 years. He has two assistants reading his signals. Both have been with him for sixteen seasons. When not at Dunn Field in the baseball and football seasons, Walker is a deputy clerk in the Municipal Court. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Leathernecks Replace Gobs at Lincoln Next Week Leathernecks Replace Gobs at Lincoln Next Week "I should consider my life incomplete if I had missed seeing "What Price Glory," was the way one New York critic expressed himself after seeing the great war drama which will open a week's engagement at the Lincoln Theatre next Monday night. Undoubtedly that is one of the greatest criticisms ever accorded a play by a New York critic and the success of the play throughout the country and later the success of the picture version of the play, is enough that any added praise of this vehicle would be absurd. "What Price Glory" is beyond matter of a doubt the greatest play which the Lafayette Players have ever presented here and it is expected that all previous box office records will be shattered during the engagement of this drama of the world war. The story, which was written by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson, revolves around a pretty and seductive French girl and a company of Marines who are located in the Zone of Advance in France. Two hard-boiled Leathernecks, Captain Flagg and Sergeant Quirt, have had a long standing grudge. Everytime one of them has found a girl to his liking the other one has preempted his rights. When Charmaine enters the scene it fans their passions into theme again and then things begin to happen. It is undoubtedly the most human document of the war ever brought to the stage and with Andrew Bishop as Captain Flagg and Lilonon Monagas as Sergeant Quirt there should be little left to be desired. Evelyn Preer should make one of the most taintizing of Charmaines while the balance of the Lafayette company should offer excellent support to these principals. Sammy Jackson Hurdles Over the TOP WELTER FLASH IS HERE BY: DAN SHAW Sammy Jackson: the pride of Santa Monica Bay District whence came little Goldie Hess, his famous stablemate and his congenial bright and alert manager Harry Peint. After giving Joe Vargas the light of his life and receiving a draw which was a bit shy. Jackson deserved a win. Bobby La Salle the bad boy from Wilmington will be Sammy's next opponent at the Olympic and his second main event on big time. Jackson has come to the top by proverbial leaps and bounds, few boys have embelloned themselves any more than this lad in the world of Fistina. A firmament where he is fiery scintillating at big odds. Nordic sport followers look for a black boy to be twice as good as they are. This toy Jackson is hailing the dawn of a new era for fighters, he has the background and foundation for it. A graduate of High School. Brains make him so scientific. Played football which gave him courage, stamina, rough and cool under fire, a willing mixer and can go like it as nobody's business; but his own. He is the best wetterweight developed on the coast since Ace Hudkinson graduated to a middleweight. His record fairly sparkles with brilliance. There is enough elastic in his wins to stretch from here to New York. His most important fights and wins have been over top-notchers such as Tommy Elks, 10 rounds; Johnny Adams, 10 rounds; Sailor Jimmy Carter; Arizona Joe Beyers, 6 rounds; Joe Vargars, draw. He has Key-Oyed Billy Clark, 5 rounds; Jack Wright, 2 rounds; Quater Wright, 2 rounds; Larry Humphry, 5 rounds, a tough boy; Duke Hoffman, 2 rounds. Any boy who can constantly win impressively as Jackson has we should follow him, give him our hearts, encourage him, pay the freight and help him get somewhere in his chosen profession. Gems are rare. Pearls are scarce. Hence in Sammy Jackson we have a Black Pearl which are as scarce as hen's teeth. Jackson takes the game seriously, the results speak for themselves. I hope he continues to make good. Rooting Section Planned For Sammy Jackson Battle Led by Harry Levette; a rooting section of several hundred admirers and friends will occupy the west section of the balcony on Tuesday, Oct. 22nd when the fighting school-boy Sammy Jackson meets Bobby LaSalle for the western welterweight ch ampionship. These will be reinforced by a large delegation of white and colored school mates of Sammy's from Santa Monica High School.

SULLIVAN In the Evening Graphic You feel admiration, rather than pity, for the gameness of such blind men as Perry Hale, center on Yale's 1899 football team, who, though blind, attends every Yale game, and "Mac" Levy, blind boxing fan, who attends houts in the Garden with Jack Johnson beside him to call the blows. However, they are spectators. It is on record that once there was an actor in a play which he could not see. Almost completely blinded and in dire need of money, Sam Langford, a few years ago in Mexico, was matched with the Mexican heavyweight champion, the promoters neither knowing or caring that old Tham was sightless. The bell rang for the first round: "Lift me to mah feet, boy." Langford told his corner handler, "and point me right toward that Mexican champion." Slightless, but gallant, Langford stood a few steps from his own corner waiting for the fighter he could only distinguish as a dark blur. The Mexican rushed forward to close quarters and Langford hooked him with his left arm. Quickly Langford raised his right glove to find where the Mexican's face was. Swiftly old Tham pulled back his right arm and let fly with a prayer on it. All that Langford heard was the cash of a heavy body to the floor, but it was enough. Out loud, Langford called: "Boy, boy, take old Tham back to his stool; the day's work is all ovah and we're rich again." The blind men of sport, we salute you! "Lulu Belle" Scores Tremendous Hit Here RACE ARTISTS PLEASE AS DOROTHY BURGES SCORES TRIUMPHS AT BELASCO THEATRE Although a white girl leads, and other whites occupy prominent roles, local colored actors prove themselves a very necessary element to put over the sensational New York stage play, 'Lulu Belle,' now playing at the Belasco theatre. Dorothy Burress, who had the female lead in the Fox Movistone picture 'Old Arizona,' plays the lead as the vicious 'high brown' Lulu Belle. As the wild high brown flipper, she walks away with the show. Many of the brown boys from the Central Avenue district have forgotten for the moment that this was a white girl, and dreamed of meeting her and winning the saucy little 'Lulu Belle' for himself. EVELYN PREER, LAURA BOWMAN, ANDREW BISHOP STAR IN "HIT THE DECK" NOW AT THE LINCOLN Peerless CABS MUtual 4141 Miss Evelyn Preer came back last Monday night after an absence of some months to star in the current stage attraction at the Lincoln, the famous stage vehicle, "Hit The Deck." The beautiful actress is seen at her very best in this famous musical and she is ably supported by, Andrew Bishop and Laural Bowman who costar with the winsome Miss Preer in this comedy. STORY OF SAILOR AND REAL LOVE It is a story of a sailor and his real love. The part of the sailor is taken by none other than Andrew Bishop and the girl in the story known as Loo Loo Martin is taken by Miss Preer. Billie Smith is the sailor and he is a salty dog and a thoroughly sea going gob, who loves 'em where he finds them and leaves them where he loves them, that is he did until he met Loo Loo and she kind of took him of his feet and if you know sea going men that says a lot, but Loo was the daughter of a sea going Captain and was quite salty her self. RUNS COFFEE HOUSE Loo Loo runs the only coffee house on the dock and all the sea faring men stop in her haven for java that is java and no less "Belge" drops in when his fleet drops anchor in Loo Loo's port. Incidentally Loo Loo's heart takes a couple of turns and drops too, because she falls hopelessly in love with "Belge" as well as she knows sailors. LAURA BOWMAN AS LAVINIA The only and only Laura Bowman was cast in the role of Lavinia the dear old soul that had looked after Loo Loo ever since she was knee high to a duck. There is only one Laura Bowman and we feel safe in saying that there never will be another one. Lavinia as cook and guardian for Loo Loo is a perfect script. Miss Bowman was given a five minute ovation when she appeared on the stage. To get on with the story. As we have said before, Captain Martin's only child has fallen deeply in love and makes no bones about it. "Belge" wants to captain a freighter and Loo Loo loves him so much she sells her heirloom to buy a ship for her sailor Smith, but she reckons out with the said Mr. Smith and he walks on her because she offers to buy the ship with her money and of course being a self respecting man. Belge couldn't stand for that and he leaves. His leaving Loo Loo all up in the air and she starts hunting him. A very interesting story is laid out in the remainder of the plot and it will be a real treat to go and see how Loo Loo finally found her man Smith after searching the entire Navy and part of China. SNAPPY CHOURS A snappy chours furnishes the musical numbers. Margaret Jones mops up as the leader of the chours. Laura Bowman tears down the house when she sings that hit of all hits Halkulujah. Never before has Halleluijah been sung as Laura Monday night. She received no less than five encounters. EVELYN SINGS Miss Preer scored a direct hit when she sang, "Four Walls" and "Some Time I am Happy." To say that Miss Preer was wonderful in the role of Loo Loo would be putting it mildly indeed and when she sang "Four Walls" she attained the heights they all reach for. are doing foreground stuff are not to be left in the shadows; they come through with some very brilliant acting, that brings forth tremendous apulse. Among these one cannot afford to overlook Spence Williams, Cliff Ingram, Hazel Jones, Lawrence Harrison, Cled Fain, Martin Booker and Eagle Thomas. Their work is par excellent. They are all local people and they work like veteran toupers. WHAT NEXT? BY: DAN SHAW In New York all Harlem is very much excited. The expected return of the Chocolate Keed has been defended another month. He has been in action since his visit home. I understand he has gained a little weight. He will probably start his new campaign at 128 or 130 pounds. He says I want 3 fights a month. Maybe he is like Tiger Flweed, who would rather fight than train. The Keed evidently feels the same way. --- I note with profound pleasure that the big time promoters are giving Willie Henry a break to show his fishing ability. After being parked on a railroad ticket in his dusky mitt Wad Wathams got busy and found him an opponent in the person of Mr. Ernest Bendy, our own DYNAMite Jackson, who will outweigh Henry some 25 pounds. This will be a whale of a fight folks. Henry throws plenty of leather and bits like _____: while Jackson seems to be about the best heavyweight on the coast. Next Saturday eve at the Olympic club in New York will present our own Niel Cisby, coast heavyweight champ. Black Harlem is raring to go and see the phantom from the coast. No question should be asked. We have sent any number of boys Fast and they have made good. Watch Cisby through the column. Now folks, I am going to do a little promoting. Bist time promoting too, I am going to present for your approval a match between two of the best heavyweights in the country. My referee will be J. B. Bess; my Time Keeper will be Titus Alexander; my announcer will be Elbridrue Lee; my Ticket Taker will be Littleton McDuff; the audience will be the Political Melting Pot; the place, the Eagle Soudre preferred. If Hedlin and DePriest will accept my good offices I will furnish a rine well padded, a pair of loaded gloves for Mr. DePriest: a bottle of water and smelling salts for Hedlin and an ambulance airplane for being so nice. The time is Right Now! DePriest wins the decision. "I told you to stay home." Harry Wills went down to Mexico City to fight after Mrs. Wills told him to stick around Harlem. Collect his rents from the apartments he owns and dring hot Ovaltine of nights. Poor Harry is so old now he sicked his opponent after the bell rang and kayed him. He was Bert Colima'd out. You can imagine what Mrs. Harry told him when he go home. Mr. Hayden Wadhams. Black Bill shoeblmate of Keed Chocolate would like to work for you. Speedy Dado is the boy he wants you to get for him. Can we see him? Sammy Jackson, recognized as the most promising boy on the Coast. He is of the perpetual motion type. Nothing but action, when Jackson is throwing gloves. He faced the crucial test of his career with Joe Vargas, a seasoned fighter who has held his own with the best boys on the Coast, they did not get very far with Vargas, Corbett, Fields, Thompson and a host of others have lost to Vargas. Stick by him fans; he is coming like a Black Diamond Express, ready to hold his own with any of them; a clean cut boy, a credit to the game. Well, well, Mack House, the fastest stepping heavyweight fighter in the game today, is seriously tending to his It is a pleasure to trade where you may always find fresh, first-class goods at Market Price, along with courteous treatment.

UPTON PETE PEST SESE OEE Ot Ee TODAY AND YESTERDAY When I get on 2 train of today, am hear the loud waits amé- howls of dis satisfaetion! manifested by the young co perer wa hay jest entered” thi service. And~easily finds everything wrong about the car, ard every thing elsé connecte@ with it; My mine drifts back to" yestercay, of the days when a portefs job was every thing in the world but a pleasent’ oeeupat: ion: I hear young porters remark boast fully, that they will never be ini the service long enough to have any stripes on’ their sleeves. That's fine be it from the writer to discourage them from bettering their conditions, I glory im their spunk, however their remarks make me ponder and wonder if they ever stop’ to think what the older porter with two and three stripes on his sleeves-has had to contend and go through with during his span oi service. It is nonsence to expect the young- er porter of today to put up with con- ditons as théy existed peers ago. That would be the same thing as to expect a college youth to discard his ‘atest model roadster Jor 2 horse and suges. In the first plve, having never experienced the hardships ot that period of Pullman service, he knows nothing whatever about it, and from his general attitude seems to care less. His interest lies in the things of today, yesterday is gone for him, so why bring that up. He has entered the Pullman ser- vice at the peak of the latest invent- ions, and he thinks that the digest majority of them can be improved. The older porter finds it hard to under— stand his younger brothers advanc- ed ideas, because the older porter can not bannish entirely irom his mind the days of hardship he went through when he first entered the service. He can not casily forget when he was expected to get down on his hands and knees with a sponge, and keep the linoleum clean. It is hard for him to forget the days of carrying a heavy galvanized tim metal equipment box, with a big oil lamp dangeling at his side in addition to a heavy traveling bag, the old stick cars with at least three sticks missing when he went to make down his car. Hunting around in the dark for the gas light switch on the old pintch gas light cars, mak-| ing 2 fire in the old beaker heaters) an getting smoked out when the wind was blowing the wrong way. The things I have mentioned. hage pened in Yesterday, ame anianyimore that I will endeavor to relate in an- other issue in whieh I shal try’ to explain why it is so hard for the old- er porter to understand his younger brothers attitude in regards to his present occupation.

No mistaking, that. It was really funny. However for the time being we will refuse to notice our small time critics. But it is difficult to escape being reminded of a flash of lightning. There is a brilliant flash of electrical energy wasting itself a heavy clouded sky, for an instant then quickly followed by a loud clap of thunder, then lo, it is gone. Moral: heed not, brilliant flashes, nor loud blatant noises. According to the recent survey of nite clubs, made by an organization, that makes such investigations for various sociological periodicals dealing with various fases of crime prevention, more than ninety per cent of the nite fun palaces in New York, are directly linked with prostitution and white slave traffickers. And also according to that same investigation, the Apex Nite Club, here in this city, is placed in an exceptionable class. Just recently the Apex celebrated its anniversary. In the year that it has been open, there has not been even the remotest connection or the slightest hint, of vice of any sort linked with it. For that, if nothing more, Mr. Curtis Mosby. The faithful navigator is deserving of highest commendation. High Schools of California, are to hear, and learn Negro Spirituals. The Bilbrews famous as conductors and arrangers of choirs and their music, have secured a contract from a booking agency to visit various High Schools in the State, and sing these famous spirituals. It is hoped thru this method to make the American child more interested and inclined to know and appreciate this only true American music. Good news 120 colored men sign movie contracts. Yes, thats a fact. They all did so last Monday. A. M. for Tiffany Stahl productions. Thats tight, aint it I mean. Old favorite seen on Lincoln stage. Claudie Collins, Chas Olden, Evelyn Preer, and Laura Bowman, all are appearing in this weeks show at the Lincoln. And do the fans welcome them back; and how! They all four their old admirers there waiting for them Claudie Collins friends hadn't began to for get the way he pleased them when he was with Doc Strains Co. And for the others it is entirely to recent since they close here to forget them. Chas Olden, was himself again, and had the young ladies down in the front rows, fairly rising out of their seats in their eagerness to show their appreciation for their clever favorite. Studio Notes THIS WEEK—among all weeks, should be called movie week; especially in so far as Negro extras are concerned. Coming at a time when everything else is slack, employment of Negro extra talent reached its highest peak in many months. The daily and weekly cheeks earned by the followers of the silent dramas, has already brought about a very apparent buoyancy among neighborhood merchants wherein colored people are resident. Approximately 350 extras are actively employed at the various studios this week. Almost as many varied roles are portrayed by these extras. They range from the well known African (or native) types, to modern cabaret entertainers; included are crack orchestras, tap dancers, singers (both spirituals and blues), and a crack troop of German nature soldiers, infantrymen and cavalrymen. The names of the various studies and the number of extras employed, are as follows: TIFFANY-STAHL—studio, is shooting and rehearsing scenes on "Jungle," a picture taken from the well-known book story "Mamba." The story relates to the period usually covering the World's War—14'18, and gives graphic details of the Europeans at war in Africa, to protect their colonial possessions. In the picture form we are given a clear insight regarding the extent of nationalism and patriotism of the African native. From the German point of view especially, are we shown the black German, at his best. There are 120 colored extras under weekly contracts, at the Tiffany-Stahl studios to portray the Black German defenders of the Fatherland's sessions, while the English language engages the enemy on the continent of Europe. They are to learn the famous Gose Step drill, as well as perform the difficult feats of horsemanship, that these colonials are proficient at. As infantryment and cavalrymen, the German colonials are considered the best drilled of German soldiery. 25 additional men have been retained for other purposes. They will also have a crack male If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened chorus, of 30 voices, in that studio's forthcoming coloart production, taken from the book 'Mamba'. The Billbrews, famous as 'ensemble leaders have been retained to procure and rehearse this mammoth choir. WARNER BROS.—studio, has approximately 150 people employed in two pictures out their way. About 100 are retained to complete scenes on the 'Isle of Escape,' starring our old friend, Monte Blue. These extras portray native South Sea Islanders. The other 50 were used in a church scene with Slim Tinkle, doing a 'blackface' a la Bert Williams. It's a Warner Bros. short subject Vitaphone prod. This studio is also shooting scenes on 'Goat Alley.' Prominent colored actors to be seen in this well known play. Among whom will be seen Mrs. A. C. Bibrow, famous as a dramatic reader, queen of pantomime, and one of the best choir directors in the west; Clarence Muse, nationally known dramatic actor, and the real star of 'Hearts in Dixie'; Albertine Pickens, nationally known musical comedy actress, from the legitimate stage, and other local favorites, including Curtis Nero and Bernice Pilot. R. K. O. STUDIOS—are using ap- proximately 60 people on one of their gigantic nite club sets. Singers and dancers are to get a real break, in this picture. A huge chorus cast by Manuel Hall is being led by Prof. Claude V. Pitts, for other scenes. The chorus will number 35 people. Dick Saunders has charge of the dancers. Sixteen of which are girls and nine men. FOX STUDIO—has about 50 people working out of their movietone dept. at Westwood. Presumably they will be used in 'Cameo Kirby', the picture in which the clever race picture actor Stepin Fetchit is cast. They are mostly singers. Louise (Pete) Beavers, clever race comedienne under contract to complete scenes in their current movietone prod. The Bibbrews also have a mixed octette, rehearsing for the same picture. UNITED ARTIST—studio, is busy holding an interview for singers and dancers. Looks like another batch of red-hot singers and hooferies are due for another break. CHRISTIAN STUDIO—greatest makers of comedies, have again made some attractive overtures to Spencer Williams to resume his connection with them. Mr. Williams is at present in the 'Lulu Belle' company playing at the Belasco Theatre here. He was formerly engaged at the Christie Studios as dialogue expert. His duties before the severance consisted in re-arranging the Octavus Roy Cohen to fit the scenario. They are all race stories. Fans Still Talking of the Hudkins Speech at The Tivoli "You don't know how I appreciate the hearty welcome you friends of the east side are giving me," declared Ace Hudkins from the stage of the Tivoli Theater on Saturday, September 28. And the fans are still talking about the great speech the famous Wildeat made, for as a rule fighters are poor orators. The occasion was the midnight Frolic given in his honor by Harry Levente and Ace with his brothers Art and Ab, Hap O'Connor and the ladies of the party. Charly Long and his party occupied the honor rows and enjoyed the festivities. This fight at the Wrigley Field will not be like the one in Chicago. I won then, but did not get the belt. But I am going to win so far this time that no one can keep me from it, continued Ace in part. The party received a big ovation from the large crowd. Lewis Gets Another Crack at Champion Gus Lewis Gets Another Crack at Champion Gus Ed "Strangler" Lewis gets another crack at the heavyweight wrestling crown on the 23rd of this month when he ties up with Gus Sonnenberg the football playing champion from the East. This will be Lewis' third attempt to wrest, the crown he formerly wore with much pride from Gus. Ed, clad in a champ and he is out to prove it without fail this time. Carnation Lou Daro took this championship match from a gang of promoters throughout the middle-west and the east. CAST OF LULU BELLE AND HALLELUJAH ARE HONORED GUESTS OF MOSBY MANY STARS OF STAGE AND SCREEN PRESENT; CLUB COMPLETE SELL-OUT, WITH STANDING ROOM ONLY ABBIE MTCHELL, ANDREW BISHOP, LAURA BOWMAN STAR IN "DANCING MOTHERS" The biggest professional night in the history of the Apex nite club was celebrated last Wednesday night, when the entire casts of the current stage and screen hits, Lulu Belle and Hallueljah were the honored guest of the king of night clubs, Curtis Mosby. The winsome Miss Nina May McKinney was seated at a wing side table, with the Fox Film star Stepin Fetchit and his beautiful little wife and their party. Incidentally Miss McKinney looked very charming in an evening gown of peach with a beautiful head adornment to match. Mrs. Perry, that means Stepin's wife by the way, was very chic in a georgoures shawl thrown about her shoulders. VERY POPULAR As Mosby had the flood lights turned on the little star that made that much talked of picture of King Vidor's she was accorded a mighty ovation the kind that makes the roof shaky Miss McKinney came direct from the Fox Palace Theater, where the western premise of her picture was held DOROTHY BURGESS AND CAST Next to get the spot light was Miss Dorothy Burgess leading lady of Luh Belle, now showing at the Belasco town town. The beautiful Miss Burgess and her party occupied several tables up close and were the center of attraction throughout. The star of "Old Arizona is knocking them dead down town and she is a real hit, as a matter of fact she is a hit just any place that she might go and no less. Vivian. Mr. Vivian was introduced and was given a nice reception. The famous director mae a little speech and could not offer any thing but praise for Curtis and his show. In part Mr. Vivian stated this. "I am truly enjoying myself here to night in your famous fun Palace Curtis old top. I have seen night clubs from one coast to the other, but never before have I seen a show that will match the one you staged here tonight. I especially commend your great little Blues Singer Ivy Anderson. She is wonderful. I don't know a better word that would describe the little lady. And that team of Anderson, Anderson and Jones out. When it comes to the national past time these boys know their balls and strikes. "Try a wonderful team, I offer my heartiest congratulations to our producer Miss Mildred Washington, when better floor shows are produced I believe Miss Washington will produce them," the director said in closing. The names of a few of the many celebrate that were present follow: Spencer Williams, Hazel Jones, Beatrice Banton, Artrie Norman, Marion Booker, Viola Scott, Graham Tau, Lucille Hall, Charley Grant, Russell Hopton, Den Trebeser and Ruth DANGING TEAM SCORES The dancing team of the Anderson brothers and Gus Jones took the show by storm and the boys hau to do their numbers time and time again to please the several hundred guest that jummed the Apex. That baseball game of theirs is a scream and they pull down the house with it. They give their conception of a world series game as played in the past series. A real knockout. Kaki came in for her share of the glory with her favorite, "I am doing what I am doing 'for Love,'" with a felling too. Of course no one can take Ivy's place, she just has her's and there will be a long lasse of time between now and the time they make them better than her when it comes to letting loose with the blues. All in all it was a great night and every body had a wonderful time. Abbie Mitchell the feminine star of the new Lafayette players covered her self with glory in her role as the mother in Edgar Selwyn's and Edmund Goulding's story of modern life. Every character potrayed by the famous players was worthy of mention but the performance given by Miss Mitchell eclipsed the others by far. Laura Bowman our old friend of the first edition of the Lafayettes gave a wonderful account of herself as the well meaning friend. Incidentally, Miss Bowman was given a five minute ovation, when she walked on the stage. Versatile Andrew Bishop steals his share of the thunder with his part as the worldly man about anybody's town. The handsome bachlor who breaks all the ladies hearts, young and old. HEAD STRONG YOUTH, FALTERING AGE It is the age old story of the head strong youngster and the hesitating parent. STAGE LUMINARIES TWO "BORN BLACK CROWS" THE "DANCING BETTYS AND SILVER FOX ENTERTAINERS AT THE TIVOLI MID-NITE FROLIC Central Avenue rapidly becoming the center of night entertainment will as usual have a spot of enjoyment that breaks the monotony of ordinary Nite Thersa Brooks, takes the part of Kittens "Westcourt" the infatuated youngster who is in love with the man about town and makes a little fool of her self as they want to do. Kittens is in love with Gerald Naughton the much talked of man about town and runs off to meet him time after time. The girl does all of this against her mothers will, who is bleeding her heart out at home night after night by her lonsome, being left alone by her husband and daughter. THELADY FRIEND Here the medium enters in the form of Laura Bowman, who plays the part of Zola Massarine the woman of forty who is enjoying life. She warns her friend. Ethel Westcourt (Abbie Mitchell) that she is going to seed and missing the greatest part of her life. Westcourt is playing both ends against the middle. She is loosing her husband and has lost the love of her daughter. In short she is cesparte, so she decides to take matters The far, far east taught Miss Thelma Porter, one of the best songsters in the west, many things. And listed among them was the art of selling out a show or in other words stopping the show dead. DEAD thats how you spell it and thats how Miss Porter stopped the midite show Harry Levette is making famous at the Tivoli on 41st and the Avenue. The winsome Miss Porter was supposed to be working at Frank Sebastian's Cotton Club during the time she was stopping the show at the Tivoli. Thelma is stopping them dead at the Cotton Club just as she did Saturday night at Harry's show. With a felling and oh what a felling she sang "I must have that Man," and he is a handy man to have around. She sent them away talking to themselves. GEORGE IONES Geo Jones a native of Pasadena sang two numbers from the showboat and Hearts in Dixie. Jones has a wonderful tenor voice and can come back again according to the many that packed the theater Saturday evening. GRANT AND HALL Grant and Hall two of the featured dancers in Lula Bell stopped off long enough to put them a way with their dance speciality. The girl is beautiful and eances just as she looks so you know the little lady is some hoofer and no less. Grant the male half of the team is some goer himself and can step with the best of them when it comes to picking them up and laying them down. Emmanuel Middleton sang a baritone solo that stood them on their heads, it was a knockout. DAVIS AND HOUSTON Davis and Houston another team of hoofer's know their stuff and they don't stop at knowing it they strutt it. Davis is some goer on the ivories also he pounded out a hit that hit the folks in the right spot, they asked for more, and more. FRED ERNESTO—STRONG MAN The strongest man in Hollywood was there in all his manly strength, although weighing only 120 pounds Ernesto is one of the strongest men in the world today and he performs some wonderful feats with his strength. He has complete control of his well developed muscles. A great number of times when men are developed as Fred is a case of muscle boundness sets in and hampers their style, but this little strong man is entirely free from that NIGHT HAWKS HOT The Night: Hawks were there in all their musical glory and they really went after it. Alton Redd forgot his big orum for some reason or other, you guess why and what he had his mind on. But the tubb made up for it when he did get there and he beat up a dirty breeze. CLAUDE COLLINS And last but far, very far from least was the master of ceremonies. Claude Collins who was his old self as usual. Claude sent over "with that famous song, "Waiting for Ships that Never Come In" and did that boy sing? Y. M. C. A. NOTES "Y" DELEGATION GOES EAST Executive Secretary T. A.

The theater was almost sold out. This year's act farce, "Loose Ankles," by Sam Janney, was directed by Mr. Webb King, whose assistants were Miss Marjorie Bright and Mrs. Helen Wheeler Riddle. Miss Thelma Overton, playing the feminine lead, gave a very dightleful performance as the young girl worried by a host of relatives to marry so that she could inherit a large sum of money from the estate of her grandmother. These relatives were very anxious for her to marry, because one of the provisions of the will was that until she married none of the others mentioned in the will would receive their bequests. Miss Sharpe as the grasping,伸 tongued, gossipy aunt, was excellent, while Miss Carmelia White, the tearful, gloomy aunt, and Miss Anna Louise Griffin, as the smart, sophisticated cousin, were very clever. Mrs. Helen Wheeler Riddle nearly stole the show with her protrayal of the wile cracking, ultra sophisticated fourth cousin of the heiress. Mrs Riddle had the audience laughing at her salies throughout the play Mr. Jefferson Brown, as Major Elling, was admirable, and his make-up as an elderly man was perfect. Mr. Edwin Jefferson as the reporter who made a nuisance of himself, was very breezy and furnished some of the comedy. Messrs William Middleton and Charlie Martin were the comedy team, and almost stopped the house with their witticism. Mr. Bernard Jefferson as the brunel ummur who tries, by hook and crook, to win the heiress, was excellent and Mr. Hugh Beaty as Gil Barry the young man who finally won the heiress, gave a fine performance. Others in the cast included the Misses Georgia Boswell, Edith Keys, Vesta Edwards, and Messrs George Cooken and William Edwards. Mrs. Ursula Penitt Adams introduced Mr. Webb King to the audience, and Miss Zula Stevens, winner of the Alpha, Kappa Alpha Scholarship of $100.00. Mr. Leon Rene furnished the music during intermissions, and Mr. Otis Rene sang several of his original compositions. Both the music and the songs were thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.

Ninety-seven pastors and social workers, representing twenty cities, gathered at Gulfside, where city problems and opportunities growing out of them were presented for study. A carefully planned course of study was offered with the object of getting the churches to expand their programs and to deal directly with community needs. It was emphasized that health, employment, recreation, child welfare, housing, crime, and delinquency all are church problems which cannot be solved by the ministry which confines itself to program of worship. The council school was opened with an address by Dr. W. M. Johnson, president of Howard University, Washington, D. C. Dr. Johnson called upon the church to equip itself with spiritual fervor which finds its best expression in terms of community service. On the faculty were the following: the Rev. E. M. Conover, Philadelphia, who spoke on "Study in Church Architecture"; Miss M. E. Sampson, Philadelphia, "Training Leadership for Local Churches," and "Retreat"; the Rev. F. B. Newall, New York, "Pastoral Problems"; F. B. Washington, Atlanta, Ga., "The Local Church and Its Community"; the Rev. Jay S. Stowell, Philadelphia, "Church Publicity"; and the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, director of the Bureau of Negro Worak "Church Finance." Forty minute periods were reserved before noon each day for presentation of various problems followed by open forum discussions. Discussions leaders and their subjects were: the Rev. E. W. Kelly, Pittsburgh "How I Finance My Church"; The Rev. B. F. Abbott, St. Louis, "What One Church has Done to Stranghten Methodist Missions in a Great City," the Rev. W. T. Handy, New Orleans, "A Community, Center, South," the Bishop Walls and Shaw of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and Bishop Robert E. Jones of the Methodist Episcopal Church were in attendance at the school. A national school of this sort, giving serious study to our pressing city problems is a definite harbinger of a new day in Negro city work. It is a significant fact that practice ally all of the important social centers maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Church are direct out growths of this type of special fraining for Negro pastors. These now extend from New Orleans on the south to Chicago, New York, and Boston in the North. Rev. I. A. Moore Returned to Pastorate of 1st A. M. E. Zion Church For Fifth Year Rev. I. Albert Moore, who has been the successful pastor of the First A. M. E. Zion Church in Los Angeles for the past four years has been returned to the pastorate of this church for another year.

The Ocean's Secrets There is mystery under the sun, Which never solved will be, Tis the voice of the ocean's gentle sigh Or the roar of its majesty. Who knows what the soft gentle Lays of the waves. Are whispering as they glimmer there. Or who can fathorn the text of their boom, As the storm dispels the fair. 'Neath the gleam of the golden sun, A turbulent soul to rest. Or they dance to the tune of The Silvery moon, As her beams proudly ride on their crest. Do the waves speak of children. Who with laughter gray, Stick tiny feet in the sands at play? Or gleefully, joyfully, splash here and now? Or the souls of the lost, who are long since gone? Or can they tell of a storm upon the sea. Where a proud ship is tossed so easily? There the white, staring, faces of those who must die. The house and the fair, who together The brave and the fair, who together will lie In the depths of the deep blue sea. Yes the gentle waves dance, As we set in the sun And wonder what they say. Many a tale they could tell of Pirates bold Or the brave, brave deeds of men. But we never shall know, where the whispers go. Twill be a mystery to the end. MRS. G. L. JACKSON What Thoughtful Parents are Reading Since the fall opening of school, helping the child to learn is laying heavy demands on the poor parents. Parents should be prepared, for this is a fundamental responsibility, too seldom acknowledged, to prepare their children to meet adequately fail to realize what demands will be made upon them until they are made, and then there is no time for preparation. The demands of normal, healthy interested children to learn are almost limitless. They increase as they are met, until sooner or later any parent will be discouraged at not proving the teacher the child expects and he himself would like to be. Thoughtful parents are preparing themselves for the greatest of all jobs by reading books on child study from the public libraries because they know it is fatal to bluff. The following books may assist those parents who feel they do not know exactly how to face the child and his problems: Amer. Institute of child life Guide to childhood Fisher, Dorothy Canfield.—The Montessori Mother. Key. Ellen.-Education of the child. Cabot. Ella Lyman.-Seven ages of childhood. Gildbreth. Lillian M.-Living with our children. Kirkpatrick. Edwin A.-Fundamentals of child study. Patri. Anglo.-Problems of childhood. Friday, October 18, 1920 BEAUTY PARLOR Optics and guarantee them.

Murray, Now, for years we fad heard that Victorville was a barten, waistinig desert, caused by lack of water sup ply, and may we say phat to some ex: tent this is true, especially where our people as land owtiers are’ concerned. The Murtays, however, furnish an excoption to the rule. Less than a year ago they took up eighty sacres five miles out, from the tewnsite of Victorville, They have built a mod- ern house, sunk a well that furnishes sufficient water supply far home con- sumption, have two cows, two horses, vhickens, not easily counted, geese and hogs and an alfalfa site of twenty acres in waiting for the first shower when the seed shal be sown. We are seither horticulturists nor agriculturists, but just a little com- mon sense convinced us het all things are possible, in the wey of production at Victorville, especially for our group if consistent and united effort is made to wrest from nature's water store- house what they need to become in- dependent producers frem the soil. While at Victorville we visited the Victor Valley Naws Hereld and was cordially received by the editor in charge. ‘The first annual country fair was in bloom when we reached this little valley town so prettily nestled between mountains, There was the humdrum grinding organ, common at such af- fairs, ice cream, hot dogs and other vendegs in regular fair style, On demonstration a sample of ev- erything produced in the valley from hens to hay.

Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION WHO'S FOOLISH? For reasons of its own, Providence casts upon mankind's choice ignorance certain great problems, and most momentous decisions. Man undertakes, for instance, to choose the partner of his existence at a period when his judgment in matters of importance is notoriously bad. Youths assume the portentous responsibilities of a family at a time when few would credit their capacity to deal wisely and well with a family. And all engage daily with problems of sorts, which are barely and inadequately disposed of ere a new contingent is at hand. But is this as calamitous as it seems? The majority muddle through, under a "lucky star," to a reasonable success, which rewards each in proportion to his good intentions. Youth gains in inspiration what it lacks in discretion and balance, and no doubt there are guardian angels that lend a hand where it is most needed. The necessity for a decision is evidence that the one who must decide is probably capable of making it with a fair chance of success. It is the challenge that makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker. To youth it is consoling to know that wisdom is not necessarily a concomitant of age, that there is some basis for saying "there is no fool like an old fool." Old fools are usually those who in their youth evaded responsibilities, followed the path of least resistance and avoided making decisions. And society is often mstaken when it brands as a "young fool" the youth who marries young, acts on snap judgment, assumes formidable responsibilities and recklessly tackles every problem. MORE HONESTY NOW A Pennsylvania storekeeper has been able to retire after 35 years behind the counter because his customers in the last decade have been more prompt in paying their bills than were his customers during the first twenty-five years. He says there are fewer deadbeats in 1927 than thre were in 1892. How is this to be reconciled with those forelorn lamentations so often heard nowadays about the world going to the dogs, crime waves, loss of faith in humanity and many similar prophecies fearful to contemplate? And the people who pay their debts on the first of the month do not all live in that one village and don't all trade at that one general store. A national association of credit men has accumulated statistics showing that ninety-five per cent of Americans pay their store bills promptly, and of the other five per cent the majority are slow but sure pay. Few of the millions of automobiles sold in this country every year are sold for cash, and yet the loss resulting from "bad credit" is less than one-half of one per cent. Fifty per cent of the retail business of this country is done on a credit basis, according to credit men. The traditional thirty days' credit is still in widespread use and the deferred or partial payment plan of buying is in universal use where large amounts are involved. Where there is so much credit there must be trustworthy people. A TOWN'S BEST BOOSTER A writer in a current magazine observes "if the newspaper is just a little better than its town, the latter is the gainer thereby." Towns and their newspapers usually lag or lead together. Progressive journalism is the unfailing tonic of the lethargic community, but it is equally true that a lifeless newspaper can seriously retard the development of its community. There is no better community assets than a home newspaper equal to the needs of the community. While a poor newspaper is better than none to the individual reader, that does not hold true for the town. What can a good newspaper do for its community? It can serve as the town's messenger to the outside world. It must take the leadership in all community projects if they are to be successful. It is the infallible line of communication between local government and citizen. It is to the newspaper that all organizations turn for assistance in public welfare movements and without that assistance they face failure. The newspaper reaps the reward of its initiative by sharing in the general improvement of business and community affairs it has been instrumental in bringing about. The good newspaper deems it a pleasure to serve its community and its readers and is fully aware that it is only through giving a full measure of service that it can progress and prosper. It will soon be time to start liking summer better than winter. Odd signs of disappearing feminism: College girl ha spet mouse. The person who pines over his hard luck needs to spruce up a bit. Many a young daughter resembles her mother because they dress alike. The more one studies mankind, the more one appreciates the mercy of God. There are 3,000,000 laws, and you can obey all of them and still be an ass. Two popular musical instruments are the dinner horn and the horn of plenty. Still an ash tray looks about as well on a dining table as a toothpick holder. Some hire a press agent and some give to charity and get their publicity cheaper. A free country is happier. There are no fixed classes, and everybody can feel superior. Entirely too many try to be a howling success by just howling. These days they promise to love, humor and obey their impulses. The man who predicts the coldest winter in 100 years may have no money with which to buy coal. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA' EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS It was Voltaire who told a opponent, "I do not agree with anything you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it." There is something wrong with the person who would clothe themselves in the mantle, immunity, and seek to dodge the issue by surrounding themselves with laws making honest criticism treason and sedition. The grand auditor of B. P. O. E. of W. is trying to bolster up a bad case when he reports that there is not a paucity of funds in the grand lodge treasury. With the boasted increase in the number of additiona lodges in the past seven years there should be an increase rather than a decrease in the funds, and that with full regard for the number of "activities" inaugurated during that time. We are compelled to look upon the educational fund as one set apart. Most of it was raised through special effort of the subordinate lodges and to be used for the purpose of creating scholarships. That fund, says J. E. Allen, grand auditor is "approximately" $29,000.00 on deposit with the Douglass National Bank, Chicago. Then he is alleged to state further that "One bank book on the Binga State bank, Chicago, shows a balance to date on deposit, and credited to the general fund, $3,081.75, another book on the same bank showed deposits of $5,000. In the Douglas Nat'l. Nat'l. Bank, Chicago, there WAS on deposit, August 15th, $7,255.83, while in the Commercial Bank of Wilson, N. C. There IS on deposit, belonging to the general fund $5,038.89, two accounts (amount not given) in the Metropolitan Bankers Trust company show an interest payment, made on July 31st, $103.46 and on the other $6.60. We are going to allow you to compute this report. At the meeting held in Cleveland, George Bates, then grand secretary, reported $10,000 in Liberty Bonds alone. What became of them? The G. L. treasury approximated $100,000. How it has dwindled! Why should there be an increase to $1.00 per capita tax when there has been such a big increase in the number of lodges made? Those are pertinent questions. They are being asked by every members who for the past twenty-five years have been oiling the machine. In Georgia an elderly woman has been convicted and sentenced to death for murder. She is supposed to have shot and killed a young man, a printer, whose life she had insured. It is but one more instance showing what the greed for money will do. She lived to the age of 71 years then allowed avarice to get the upper hand and place her life in jeopardy for little money. It is hardly possible that the state of Georgia will allow a woman, a white woman, to hang. The date for the sentence has been fixed, but, no doubt, considering her burden of 71 years and the few that she has before her, the remainder of her life will be spent behind the prison walls. This is a peculiar age. Crime does choose associates. Youth, middle age and the senile, all seem to listen to the wiles of the Siren and are lured to inevitable destruction. It used to be overlooked as criminal when life was taken in the heat of passion or as a vengeance for some wrong, real or fancied. But now, nine out of ten lives taken with violence are the result of greed and avarice. The racateur: the bandit; are all the offspring of mercenary ideas. The Universal Protective Association, with headquarters at Los Angeles, has filed with the secretary of state, Frank C. Jordan, an application for incorporation. The association is formed to abolish racial, religious and caste discrimination. All right brothers, and if incorporation will help any let's incorporate a couple of times. We did not know any of the personnel or incorporators. We do hope that they have some concrete plan whereby the task undertaken may prove successful. The undertaking is a hurculean one. Racial antipathies may be ameriolated but never eradicated. We are not writing from a color point of view but a racial one. All caucasian races are not in accord any more so than races that are non-white. There may be more amenity between a white and non-white peoples than between two all white, or vice versa. At any rate we bid the Universal and Protective Association a fair path and a success beyond measure. * * * * A copy of the Evening Daily Journal, Portland, Oregon, was laid on our desk the other day and knowing its strong leaning toward the Democratic party looked to see some adverse criticism of the national administration or a slam at California's governor. But was overjoyed to find the marked copy carrying a story eulogistic of the services of Mrs. Beatrice Canaday, of that city and joining with the entire citizenry of Portland in nominating her as a candidate for the Harmon Award. The council of churches, which is composed of all churches in Portland, are the originators of the nomination. The award is a gold medal and $10000, an honorarium given to the person who has made an outstanding contribution toward improvement of race relations between all peoples in the United States, and its dependencies. This writer has contended at all times that the racial relations in Portland have so changed for the better that, in the past few years, it has attracted national attention; and that that change has been attributable to the efforts of Mrs. Beatrice Canady. But let the Portland Daily Journal tell how it was done: "Mrs. Canaday has made a notable contribution in the field for which the award is made. Some years ago it occurred to me that the white people who disliked me and my people, said Mrs. Canaday did not know our true selves. I reasoned that if they knew that I was ambitious to be the best citizen that I was capable of being, that I wanted education, freedom, that I had the same hopes, feelings and aspirations they had, they would not dislike me any longer. It was in that conviction that Mrs. Canaday entered upon the work of trying to create a better relation between her people and white folks. I determined to, she said, to do all possible to first rid my heart of any ill feeling for any of God's creatures and in its place plant appreciation and love for all mankind and acquaint all whom I could with the achievements, hopes, ambitions and aspirations of my portion of the human family. "A front porch entertainment participated in by the best-colored talent in Portland and Salem and listened to my white people in automobiles filling the streets for blocks, started off the new work of bringing the whites and blacks closer together. Many became interested. They were surprised at the caliber and gifts of the colored entertainers. The results filled Mrs. Cannaday's mind with the thought, insistent and ever present —educate folks to understand one another. "The front porch recitals developed into interracial Teas held at both Colored and white homes, multiplying in number, and sometimes attended by representatives of ten nationalities, and usually comprising 100 to 250 guests. Outsiders, hearing of the beauty and friendliness of these gatherings asked to be invited. A guest at one of these meetings wrote of it: 'The mingling of white faces and dark, the friendliness that pervaded the atmosphere, the gathering of races around the piano and the mingling of their voices in song—these things form a memory touching and deep. Surely music such as rose there must reach up to heaven. Such affairs must dim the racial lines and make folks realize the brotherhood of man.' The interpretation of my race to others is now the life work of Mrs. Cannaday, carried on through addresses in schools, colleges on the public platform and in pulpits where she is in strong demand as a speaker and worker. There could be no nobler endeavor. There is so much of appeal in it that Mrs. Cannaday has become nationally known. She has been sought as a speaker and worker at great conventions. She has on her own personal initiative fairly won the honor that the council of churches seek for her.' We can but add, she has won the honor. It seems to be a far stretch from the witch and heck days of the Puritans, when death was the penalty for the one supposed to harbor the "evil spirit" to this enlightened time when intelligence is supposed to supplant superstition, but recent revelations of sacrificial cults and murderous heels belie it. It used to be the concensus of thought that voodooism was indigenous to the primitive Negro and that he transplanted it. Not so: the history of our colonial period tells of the practice of witch-craft. Hangings of the suspected ones were numerous. As many as twelve at one time were hung in the public place. There is a record of two young girls who sought to learn the secret of the occult. It became an obsession and they would consort publicly. It was determined that they were possessed of the "evil one," and they accused an old bed-ridden woman. She was hung: the girls became notorious. Front pagers as it were and accused right and left. The wife of Governor Phillips was under suspicion. Hangings became so frequent that the Governor had to call a halt. Recently in a California city a cult has been unearthed that promises to unfold one of the most gruesome tales of ignorant superstition in recent annals. When the number of alleged sacrifices are checked up they may run into the score. It was claimed that they believed in resurrection and retained bodies of the dead, under the most unsanitary conditions, awaiting the return to life. Their practices of religious fanaticism promises one of the most valuable studies in the psychology of the human mind. This belief in the occult is not altogether confined to the illiterate. In one of our strolls the other evening we noticed a very familiar figure dart into a sanctuary of palmistry. She and friend husband have been jousting. Guess she was seeking to foretell the outcome. Phil Edwards, track star and captain of the New York university track team, is to be married soon. Of course that in itself is nothing startling. But when it is announced that the bride to be is not of Phil's race it becomes news. Well, it's so and furthermore Ma and Pa Cedelschoff proclaim their intention of attending the wedding and giving the bride away. It is enough to send Heflin into an apoplectic fit and give serious heart failure to the army of color desisers. The parents believe that Phil will make an ideal husband for their daughter. Phil, after his marriage will go to Oxford university for a special course and make his home in England or British Guiana. In the October number of the Review of Reviews, ex-Assistant Attorney General, Mable Wilderbrant asks, Can Prohibition be Enforced? She ought to know: eight years should give one much experience and knowledge. She says that it can, but it will prove no easy job. That is evident. Then she lays down a number of specific generalities which have all been tried and are still being tried, but the success of the trials are not obvious. Mrs. Wilderbrandt says that specific things will have to be done to make the laws effective. With that we agree. Then she lays down what these specific things are. First: Concentration of national enforcement power to place responsibility for enforcement. Second: Complete divorcement of politics from the appointments of prohibition personnel. Third: Co-ordination of state and county law enforcement agencies with the federal. Fourth: Education of the citizens of states where prohibition is not concurrently enforced, to the fact the spirit of the Constitution is being violated. Fifth: Remedying of regulations where weakness is found. The fourth specification is all right. But it is a task that we do believe the ex-Attorney General would like to undertake. At least she did not try it during the eight years of her official career as Assistant Attorney General. The other suggestions are academic. Been tried and found wanting. them. WHO KILLED HER? PLAIN FACTS About five or more years ago I had a patient a very large fat woman, the kind who simply "loved" her pork chops, fat bacon and pigs feet. This woman became pregnant. I carefully outlined to her, her proper prenatal care, I told her to report at my office every two weeks and bring a bottle of urine with her. BY: DR. RUTH J. TEMPLE Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics [NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 E. 82nl St., Phone, HU. 8419 or VA. 1223.] Every week she ate her pigs feet, her ham, her bacon. She did not come to the office, she would not save the urine for examination. When I went to the house to see her to examine her and to try a new to get her to follow my ideas about her case rather than her own, she would laugh her secret, good natured laugh and say "O doctor, its too much trouble for me to do all those things, and I do love my pork meat," what could I do? Time came for baby to arrive. Some neighbor called me, and I could tell by the impatience in her voice that trouble was in the air. I hurried to dress before I could get my clothes on another neighbor was on the wire "great goodness, doctor haven't you left yet?" It was 4 whole minutes ago when the 1st call came. Being very apprehensive of the case I lost no time in hurrying to the house. When I got there what I saw was a plenty. Several other doctors who later saw the case with me said that it was the most horrible sight which they have ever saw. BY RUTH J.

"THE DOCTOR IS ALWAYS TO BLAME" (Continued From Our Last Issue) It is necessary to fix the blame for every wrong upon the factor that is actually responsible in order to arrive at the proper remedy. This is our reason for so thoroughly discussing this subject in these two issues. Last week we stated that when any person died that most people blame the doctor. And this blame is placed upon the doctor inspite of the fact that the doctor's orders have not been followed at all, and inspite of the fact that the person might have had a disease from which no human skill could save Friday, October 18, 1929 NEGRO PHILOSOPHY BY: THE DEACON THE WHITE MAN'S RELIGION The white man's religion Is a limited affair, Depending on your color And kinks in your hair. He builds a fine church, With a towering steeple; But this Church is built, For the Nordic people. The Church may be large With room to spare; If your hair is kinky, You are not welcome there. If you are not Caucasian And trace your blood, From the original tribe That survived the flood. You are out of luck And out and down, If you hope to win A Celestial Crown. If your color is black And your hair isn't straight; You cannot hope to enter Through the pearly gate. If you are a Negro Your color is wrong; And you cannot worship With the righteous throng. In the pulpit on Sunday The radio-preacher will stand; To praise his God, And denounce his fellow-man. Intolerance and hate Is the stock in trade, Of the radio preacher And his saintly brigade. Then he calls for a collection And most fervently prays: "May God Bless the Gift," In all its ways. I imagine I heard Old Satan say: "The white man's religion Is coming my way. In the foregoing epistle Nothing is said about vanity, And there is no reflection On the principles of Christianity. weighed about 250 pounds normally, and with the pregnancy, and the excessive weight because of her uncurried appetite she weighed in the neighborhood of 300 pounds, she was not pretty to look at, at best. When I entered the room she was sprouled out on the floor, in a horrible convulsion, her arms tivitching and jerking as the they would actually be torn from their joints, her eyes rolling horribly, her head and shoulders jerking convulsively and later her mouth froathing like a mad man. She was in eclampsia one of the most dread diseases that Obstetrics knows and one of the direct results of eating unsuitable foods during pregnancy. The never failing neighbors of course were there. I was too busy calling the ambulance and making hospital arrangements and rendering lst aid to hear the neighbors words at lst. But in the interum before the ambulance arrived they got a chance to express them selves to me "just a SHAME she had such a young doctor she ought to of got a doctor what knew how to take care of confinement cases. its, a pity, an awful pity." I been knowing she wasn't right for a long time, but I thought she had a doctor, and if her doctor didn't say anything, nor tell her any thing to do, then it wasn't up to me." Same one told me after the patient and I left for the hospital that the real feeling, were expressed. "She's just killed this woman, she's just killed her thats all." Mrs. so and so ought to of had a good doctor, what knew their business and could of told her what to do. Its a shame, just a shame, why my doctor told me not to eat meat at all, when my baby was coming, because my blood pressure was too high, you know. And here this young doctor done killed this woman letting her eat pork meat and ham all of the time. Its just a shame I tell you a real shame." WHO REALLY WAS "TO BLAME" The patient was hurred into the hospital, another doctor and I quickly delivered the baby with instruments, and the patient DID NOT DIE. She had several very severe convulsions horrible things! Only one who has seen a woman in eclampsia knows what a horrible, horrible picture that uncanny convulsion—jerking, frothing at the mouth and jerking some more until it seems that every joint in the body will be torn asunder. It is indeed as described by many doctors one of the most awful sights of a life time. As I stated, this particular patient did not die. But had she died who would have killed her? If you had a dressmaker and when she had cut your dress one way you took the scissors and cut it another way, then whose would be the responsibility for the way it fit? This poor patient had regarded EVERY order of the doctor. She had refused treatment, she had outlined and persistently followed her own diet. Who was responsible for the out come of her case? This is not an over drawn picture. Right today I have patients who call me "their doctor" and who will not do one thing which I order. They are sweet, and dear and pleasant, they promise to do as they are told, but they actually DO AS THEY PLEASE and as a rule this very class of patients is the class that blames the doctors the most mercilessly.

You see the little sidewise glances with lowered lids and know that flirtations left off a year since are on the tremulous delightful verge of reawakening Henry Boyo, the illustrious son of an August father. Men die leaving their sons legacies of riches, fame, health of mind and body and sometimes of poverty, infamy and diseases. Henry Boyd's daddy left him the Negro Baptist Publishing house with several million dollars worth of machinery, supplies and prestige, also the support and patronage of a goodly percent of the Baptist Churches throughout the south, if not east and west, the only injunction being that he maintain enough of the Boyd stamina to hold on although the combined forces of the brainstem men in the Baptist denomination should rise up against him. Henry Boyd supplied the requisite. I could understand somewhat of the will of the man as I sat and looked up to where he sat on the paltform. The set of his jaw, the pressure of his lips, the tilt of the chin, his listening eyes and broad forehead. The business of the entire congress seems to have been finally deposited on his broad shoulders. He goes after it like a star halfback making a touchdown.

DePRIEST PARTY LOOKING OVER BOULDER DAM One has heard much, especially of late, concerning the construction of Boulder Dam, located 32 miles south east of Las Vagas, Nevada. In order to fully appreciate in every sense of the word the full benefits to be derived by all parties concerned from the erection of this 40 million dollar project, which carries with it the additional investment of additional millions, across the Colorado river in the center of a devastated, unoccupied desert, one must have not only rea of it but have visited the site and gained first hand information from personal contact with those who know. There are many government propositions being paraded before the public at present that are of national importance as regards the welfare of the Nation itself and its subjects individually and collectively; but of these many projects being offered, to my mind, Boulder Dam stands in the foreground alone, as the most important piece of Congressional legislation enacted and put upon the records in the line of waterway construction involving government ownership and operation, viz that of capitalistic control and operation since the erection of the great Panama Canal which made it possible for the completion of a canal waterway American controlled, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific seaports of America with those of Europe and Asia which includes Japan, China, Russia and the Phillipine Islands. The recent visit of Congressman De Priest of Illinois to California afforded us the opportunity of journeying over three hundred miles of desert land and minutely inspecting the selected site; and I take great pleasure in relating to the reading public through the medium of the California Eagle, these personal observations gleaned through being a passenger along with fifteen others who made up the party. Leaving the business office of the California Eagle on the morning of the 3rd instant at 8:45 the party of five cars arrived without mishaps or special comment in the city of Las Vegas at 4:50 P. M. of the same day, a distance of 301 miles, traveled over most paved and improved highways remarkably well kept, a fact behind which lays the basic foundation offering an inducement and acting as an incentive to those willing to make sacrifices and be classed as pioneers in their efforts to seek fame and fortune. To the trained eye that is used to witness the progress of civilization through cultivated channels and contact with large well-built cities strewn about in the midst of fertile lands with a population of a million or more human beings earning their livelihood from great factories surrounded by fertile valleys supplied with water facilities that permits the farmer raising crops of raw materials that supplies the factory which in turn employs the people.

Here in Las Vegas the party rested over night and was given the keys to the city by his honor, Mayor F. Hesse in person and the District Attorney, A. Harmon. The Boulder Dam was the parties' main objective, it would be impossible to mention in this article the Dam itself without a word regarding Las Vegas, the gateway to the Dam and which enjoys the distinction on being the only city located in the county, and its hospitable citizens, liminary activities out of the way, which had to do with an informal reception and the comfortable location of the party in excellent quarters, every one headed at 8 P. M. for the Majestic Theater in the heart of the town where Congressman DePriest was to make a public address. The building was packed by a representation gathering of colored and white citizens and following remarks by the Chairman of the meeting. Mr. Mitchell, the District Attorney was called upon to act as Master of Ceremonies and deliver the welcome address. In him Las Vegas has produced an able, fearless character, full of wit, whose sincere expressions of welcome to the visitors as American citizens were later backed up and supported by added remarks which had a ring of sincerity from Mayor Hess and Dr. Martin and put into execution by the populace after the meeting. Following remarks by Mr. H. H. Proctor, an assistant corporation counsel of Chicago, and member of the DePriest party, Congressman DePriest was introduced to the audience by Editor Bass of the California Eagle, who in a few well chosen words electrified the audience with an enumeration of historical events in the life of America and the Negro leading up to the election of Congressman DePriest and the inspection of Boulder Dam. The address of the Congressman was one of the outstanding speeches delivered by him on his entire western trip. It was brief but full of importance for it had to do with the dual subject of both Boulder Dam and the American Negro, and it had the effect of cemeting a greater and warmer friendship not only between Las Vegas and the Negro but all American subjects interested in the peaceful solution of any and all American problems that spell for the safety and growth of America. At the conclusion of the meeting the visitors were shown the interesting points about town and at 7. A. M. the next morning were on their way, following a good night's rest, for Boulder Dam site, the construction of which means so much to the great Southwest in general and Los Angeles city in particular for if our city is to grow and be assured of sufficient supply of water and cheap electrical power, the two things vital to its expansion and growth, she must look forward not only to the erection of Boulder Dam; but the appropriations of sufficient funds in forms of a voted bond issue, said funds to be used in the construction of a waterway right and the installation of equipment necessary for transporting the allotted portion of the waters of the Colorado granted her in an agreement entered into between the six interested states of the Southwest. As stated it is 301 miles from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and 31 miles from Las Vegas to the site of the Dam at which point the party arrived shortly after starting and spent three hours in inspecting and receiving first hand information and data concerning its construction from Ralph Criswell of the Department of Water and Power, who had the party in charge. As aforesaid one must visit the site of this great project to appreciate just what the harnessing of the Colorado means to Los Angeles and the great Southwest, particularly the Imperial Valley, and adjacent territory with its 1,000,000 acres of fertile farming land, all of which more or less lies some 200 feet below sea level and offers an opportunity which the unharnessed Colorado in its present uncontrollable state takes advantage of occasionally and floods with the diastrous results that thousands, of acres of valuable farming lands are periodically inundated, towns damaged and human lives sacrificed, a condition itself impossible when the construction of the Dam is completed. (To Be Continued) Self-Expression By Carl Echols Once there was a woman who spent many dollars seeking to rid herself of a peculiar ailment, the origin and nature of which she knew nothing. She tried homeopathics, asteopathics, even chiropractics; but neither system worked a cure. She resorted to baths, bakes, and diets, but all to little good. Fact was, from all evidence her case offered a problem puzzling and unique in its strangeness, so much so that it seemed to belong not to the realm of materia medica. Doctors looked askance mighty medical minds were baffled; the patient sank in deeper gloom. When diagnosing and probing finally proved but vain, help came. The news of the case was brought to the attention of an experienced neurologist who was also a trained psychologist, "Nerves," he said, "a case of pure nerves." And here is a gist of the conversation that followed: "Madam," said he, "your case is psychic rather than physical; you are suffering from a sort of congestion of the emotions, your nervous energy is clogging up some where. It needs to be set free, rhythmically flowing on. Madam—Express yourself! Take a part in some public performances, such as a public speech, or song, or game. Break forth from the impri- Winter League Opens Saturday and Sunday in a Blaze of Glory: Many New Faces in Line-up Saturday and Sunday will mark the re-opening of hostilities in the All-Professional Winter League at White Sox Park, for the fifth consecutive season. It will be a grand and glorious opening with plenty of bombardment from the bats of Pirrone's Major League All-Stars and Lonnie Goodwin's battalion of Philadelphia Royal Giants. Rythmic strains and pop will emanate from the bosom of a jazz band to entertain the patrons during both games of the opening with one tune of "blow music" held in obeyance to usher out the losing team of the series. Pirrone has the strongest team this year he has ever presented. A roster of his team looks like the first page of "who is who in baseball." Pirrone has a team of 14 sluggers with a team batting average of 322. However, manager Goodwin of the Royal Giants believes that he has a corps of pitchers in Brewer, Cooper. Charleston and backed up by the "old master" Bullet Rogan himself, that can silence Pirrone's heavy artillery. Also Goodwin has some heavy artillery himself to back up his pitching staff. On last Sunday with a team filled out with three pitchers fielding, the Royal Giants made a team batting average of 320 including 2 home runs, against the the crack all professional El Paso Mexican team, whom they beat 10 to 3 The Royal Giants have a strong aggregation this year with plenty of new faces in the line up. The new members who are destined to be a sensation are Charleston, Taylor, Josephs Livingstone, Young and Cooper. These players will be backed up by "Murders Row" from the previous years in the person of Mackey, Rogan, Mottel and Allen. The opening of the winter league was delayed a week owing to the Championship playoff on the Pacific Coast League which closed last Sunday. This delay has given all of the players two weeks good practice and the opening on Saturday and Sunday will find all teams playing in full season form. There will be bitter rivalry in the opening game because the team winning his first series will have a jump on all the teams during the first half. Manager Goodwin is out to take both games. Shell Oil and White Kings will likewise open the season on Sunday at Shell Park in Long Beach. Foolish Vows I swore I'd never love again. For I was bitter then: I vowed that I would never wed, That I was through with men. I said I would be hard and cold; My lesson I had learned. For I had played around with fire And I was sorely burned. But I have changed, as women will My heart seems warm some how, And dear love is the only thing That matters to me now. STATE CONTEST AT THE INDEPENDENT CHURCH During the present month a State Contest will be held at the Independent Church of Christ. The Jubilee begins on Monday, October 21st. Thursday night, the 24th, is the night allotted to the Supervisor of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Mrs. Florence Ward, of 4111 Hooper Avenue, Supervisor of the above named states. The church, as well as the Supervisor of these states would appreciate your presence at these meetings. sonment of rigid conventionality and be free. Like the flower that lifts itself in beauty, symmetry, and color to the sun-god, the dew elves and unfolids in full fruition; so expose your soul life to the inner atmosphere of peace and be free. And take you, your body out into the air and sunshine and express yourself if only to shout Hurrah!" The woman followed this specialist's advice and she was restored to normal-again. Her ailment went the way of the trackless wind, for she had learned the cure to express herself. Without doubt, self-expression would mean the cure for scores who are suffering from "emotional congestion." To paint, invent, or sing; to debate, yell, or dance are media of self-exPRESSION. Happy is he who chooses his vehicle and rides to freedom, in self-expression. No.19 PHILADELPHIA J. ALLEN REESE The City of Brotherly Love is still in the grip of its Quaker traditions and William Penn stands atop the City Hall dome commanding a view of the entire city to note, as it were, the attitude of the present day populace in the observance of the customs of their ancient foretathers. Having fully enjoyed for quite two hours the luxury of Pennsylvania Railroad travel we found ourselves at the Union Station. Philadelphia. Emerging there from and approaching the street we found the city in the grip of the strict observance of the Sunday Closing law. A stillness had gripped even Broad Street and it was all the more apparent in as much as we had just left busy, noisy New York behind us. Everything was closed tight and some of the large department stores had curtained their show windows, thus discouraging even Sunday show window shopping. With the dawn of Monday the city was agog, streets full of rushing humanity, stores packed and doing big business. Here we found the Liberty Bell with all its majestic surroundings. Here too is Independence Hall where the first sessions of the congress of the United States were held. In Boston we were shown Ben Franklin's birthplace and here we saw his grave. Betsy Ross home where the first American Flag was made is still open to view and much historic importance surrounds the city. Many Negroes migrated to this city during and following the World War and the evidence is easily obtainable in the general direction of South St. Here the merchants are some times of the group with a high percentage of Jewish competition. Amusing indeed it was to note that the Jew who himself refuses to eat pork is here seen offering the Negro pigs feet, pigs ears, pigs tails, chitterlings and in fact every part of the hog but the squeal, cooked and ready for the table. ATLANTIC CITY From Philadelphia we cross the Delaware River over what is reported to be the longest suspension bridge in the world to Camden, N. J., the home of the Victor Talking Machine, and continue across the state to Atlantic City. The Atlantic Ocean spreads before you, the crystal beach, miles and miles of board walk, wonderful and mammoth hotels, the million dollar auditorium, massive dance palaces, and the attendance of the idle rich have all contributed to the fame of Atlantic City. Harry Henderson who spent his High School days in Pasadena was our host. His drug store measures favorably with those thereabout and it is located in the heart of that section of the city in which most of our folk are found. The professions are well represented and there are those engaged in business of various kinds. On the Board, Walk we find the display rooms of General Motors Corporation, Crane and Company, Remington Typewriter Co., Eastman Kodak Co., National Cash Register Co., and many of the other large corporations whose products are naturally advertised too, many of the Philadelphia and New York stores maintain branch stores here. Many bus lines as well as the railroads operate between the two cities and hourly service is offered the traveling public.

M. Ruffin, a momber of the League, believing that 8 strong organization should back this proposition, the League accepted the work and responsibility and immedi- ately proteeded to formulate plans for the training of their girls in sald Hos- pital. Mra. O. M. Ruffin was appointed Chairman of the work and Mrs. B. Allen, Secretary, with a number of League women as committee mem- bers. The struggle year after year was long and tiresome, for there were con- ferences ‘held somettmes with repre- sentatives of the Medical staff of the elty and county hospital (now known as the Fairmont), the County Insti- tutions’ Commission, and the Alame- da County Board of Supervisors. Ques- tionsaires pertaining to the training and general .welfare of our girls in the Los Angeles County Hospital were prepared and forwarded to the Superintendent of Nurses, and ac- knowledgments received always fa- vorabe to nurses. The League never ceased to keep in touch with the of- ficials in whose hands the balance of power rested. Promises were made, but the League pressed forward ‘in its demand for recognition of their am- ditions girls. . Four years had elapsed and yet the goal had not been reached. The for mer Chairman resigned, and on the 12th of September, 1928, Mrs, L. M. Dixon was made chairman of the Hos- pital Committee and Mrs. Allen was reappointed as-Secretary. The Chair- man. and. Nor Commisten very, -s0qe. realized that it had utterly failed to establish a case because there were three requisites necessary: First—Find the girls who wanted to train, ‘Secon@— To make application. Third—To meet necessary require- ments, With this in view ,they passed on the report the latter part of January and began campaigning. The result ‘was a conference with the Superin- tendent of Nurses, Miss D. Dean Urch, with the Chairman, Mrs. L. M. Dixon, Mro, H. B. Tilghman, and three ap plicants—Marjorie Lake, Zola Morgan and Mae Belle Booker—who received apglication blanks, The reception ye 2. Pioneer’s Estate Makes Jefferson L.

Bond business at the time of:his arrest, ‘was very cordial to the Committee. ‘Two girls who met the requirements were Miss Edna Temple, a graduate of Technical High School and a stu- dent of the State Normal at San Jose; and Miss Juanita LeBoeuf, graduate of Roosevelt High School. These girls who had first registered with the League were eager to pioneer the way. Previous to the accéptance of these applicants, there arose the question of upper, middle end lower-thind echol- astic rating, with particular reference to the colored girls. This was so defi- nitely expressed that the Committee, after discussing at length with the Su- perinendent of Nurses, made a few outside investigations that materially helped, and resulted in elimination of that specific reference, but not bridg- a the crisis. To be able to meet the critical turn of affairs, the Committee solicited assistance from the East Bay Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association. Their aid, so whole heartedly and quickly given, removed the leet vestige of doubt, and the two young women wefe requested to re- Port for duty August 20, 1929. No other organization was appealed to for assistance. Mrs. Nettie B. Modeste, who is a trained nurse and a graduate of Freed- man Hospital, Washington, D.
