THORPE, Chairman, of the Committee of the WILLARD Women Including Those Active in Civic Life and the Church Attest Curtis Mosby's Business Integrity as a Law- Abiding Citizen We are taking the liberty of writing you regarding a matter in which we are deeply interested, with the thought in mind that as an elective officer of this city you have shown unusual judgment in the administration of city affairs and are putting forth every effort to extend each of our citizens a fair and square deal. We are all Colored Citizens, Business Men and Women and Property Owners in and around Central avenue and East Fortv-first street, and in what is known as the Eastside District, and happen to have in that section of the city a young Colored Man who in our judgment is doing more for that section and for the Colored People in particular than any one individual, and this letter is written by us without his know knowledge and as a testimonial of our appreciation of the service he is now rendering our race. We write of Mr. Curtis Mosby and by way of introduction are enumerating some of the things we know him to be interested in: FIRST—He has better than one hundred forty-eight people on his regular payroll in the City of Los Angeles. SECOND—He furnishes employment for many hundreds of our people in this city who are not on his individual payroll. THIRD—He is Treasurer of the Jordan Hat Company, a California Corporation, Manufacturers of Hats, which Company is now preparing to spend many thousands of dollars for a plant on Central avenue. FOURTH—He is Musical Director of the Fox West Coast Lincoln Theatre, a Central avenue institution. FIFTH—He is former president of the Musicians Union. SIXTH—He is the owner of the Mosby Music Company of 4011. South Central avenue, the largest Colored Music House on the Pacific Coast. SEVENTH—He is the owner of Mosby's Apex Grill of 4017 South Central avenue. EIGHTH—He is the owner and operator of the Apex Nite Club at 4015 South Central avenue. As you know, our People are music loving and entertainment enjoying individuals, and Mr. Mosby with his Apex Nite Club has provided a place where music and entertainment can be had by members of our race, and to our personal knowledge it is one of the most carefully conducted places of entertainment we know of and NO LIQUOR is kept nor can any be purchased from Mr. Mosby or his employees, and the place is policed each night by men whose duty it is to guard against any improprieties. We have been informed from outside sources that on last Saturday Night, two Policemen, in the employ of the city, without a warrant, without uniforms and without even a badge, entered Mr. Mosby's Apex Nite Club, where better than 500 patrons were assembled and subjected these patrons to the humiliation of a hip-pocket search for LIQUOR. These policemen went from table to table smelling the glasses of the patrons and in a braggadocia manner compelled the guests to stand while they searched them, and after all their trouble found only five small flasks on five separate individuals. Then on last Wednesday night a number of Policemen and two policewomen came to the place where better than 400 guests were assembled and forced the guests to submit to another hip-pocket search and ten or twelve of the guests were taken in the Patrol Wagon to the Police Station, and it was a common bit of conversation among guests who were not arrested that a goodly part of the Liquor found was planted by some of Officers. In addition, we wish to call your attention to the fact that some of our number have made a careful investigation of the way the Apex Nite Club is conducted and of the treatment ac- Cossack Methods Used on Apex Nite HON.

ULTERIOR MOTIVE AFFIRMED This last act and following events of the week but confirm the prevailing thought, that it is not the violations of the law by customers who happen therein, but a deliberate plan to ruin Mosby's business.

They come there to hear the best music, consequently the best dancer in gand to witness the real show which Mosby puts on. The theory that they go there to drink liquor is all wet, they would not have to come there for that, and again it is well known that Mosby has never stood for bootlegging. (Turn to Page Two Please.) sas Editor, Passes to the Great Beyond (BY: J. B. BASS) On last Saturday at 11:00 o'clock a.m. we received the following message: Topeka, Kansas, Oct. 26. 29. 9 p.m. Nick Chiles, editor Topeka Plain-dealer died this morning. 6:10 a.m. MRS. H. CHILES. Indeed our staunch friend of 40 years standing had gone the way from which no traveler returns. He was born in Greenville, South Carolina, 1864. It would take several issues of this publication to even briefly recite the strenuous history of this life, especially so of the past forty years, for "Nick" as he was familiarly known by everybody, was one of the most active and energetic characters which one would meet in a life time. His motto was to "DO SOMETHING" and he religiously lived up to this feature in every way possible. In the boom days of Kansas he was right up to the front-front, with an amazing keen vision for the future. It is said of Mr. Cailes that he bought a whole business block in the heart of the business district of Topeka without as much as $100.00 to make the first payment. He held on to it and finally disposed of it at an advanced price of many thousands. He was always here at there and everywhere along business lines and acquired many properties, including a mansion in the same block in which is located the governor's mansion and lived there with his family until his passing on last Saturday. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN THE LATE NICODEMUS CHILES CALL TO JOURNALISM In the year of 1898 when this writer decided to go into other fields of effort, Mr. Chiles took up where we left off, and with an improved plant, began the publication of the Topeka Plaindealer, which succeeded the Topeka Call which we had conducted since 1896. The Topeka Plaindealer was a success under the management of Mr. Chiles and welded a powerful influence in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. It was an eight, page quarto, sheet and soon took its place at the head of Negro journals in the midwest. Nick Chiles was uncompromising in his stand for the race, he gained the ill will of all the Southern fire eaters by his caustic references to them through his journal and a price was practically put on his head and a dare for him to come South of the Mason and Dixon line. Nick's letter to the Pope of Rome and the answer he received, on the lynchings and burnings in this country attracted nation wide attention; likewise his letters to Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina. His personal interview with the South Carolina Senator was reproduced in the Republican "Hand Book" by the National Republican Committee during the campaign of 1900 and distributed throughout the country. Perhaps the boldest act of his career happened during the war, when thirteen members of the Twenty-fourth infantry were hanged for participation in the Houston, Texas riot. Chiles was highly incensed over the affair, and wound up a lengthy telegram to President Wilson by saying the man were lynched by the Government. Governor Capper urged Mr. Chiles to eliminate that portion of his message when he turned to an Associated Press representative and said, "Shoot 'er toys as per MY copy, and let them get the jail ready." The message was sent and also appeared in all of the papers using the Associated Press. (Continued on Page Two.) M.

Already the fame of this promising yung tenor has gone abroad. The following excerpt concerning young Sharp's ability as a singer was published in the September 17th issue of the North Hollywood Press: "Praise Colored Man's Singing "The singing of Louis Sharp, colored tenor and pupil of Theo. Ricardo of North Hollywood, at the Community Methodist Church service last Sunday morning created much favorable comment and was greatly enjoyed by the audience present.

PRESIDENT FROM THE BEGINNING New York, October 25.-Moorfield Storey, first and only President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, one of the outstanding lawyers of the Nation, former President of the American Bar Association, died on the night of October 23, at the age of 85 years. The funeral is to take place in Boston on Sunday and will be the occasion for tributes from representative business, professional and official circles of the Nation, State and City. The N. A. A. C. P., is telegraphing flowers and a message of condolence, and is being represented at the funeral by Walter White, acting secretary. Mr. Storey during his long and active life, held many positions of public trust. He was an Overseer of Harvard College, editor of the American Law Review, President of the Boston and Massachusetts Bar Associations and of the Massachusetts Civil Service Reform Association. His championship of the cause of the Negro began in Reconstruction days, when he was Secretary to Senator Charles Sumner, of whom Mr. Storey wrote a biography. Mr. Storey, at the foundation of the N. A. A. C. P., and at a time when the cause of the Negro was less popular than now, gave it his powerful support, becoming first President of the N. A. A. C. P., in 1910 and holding this office until he died. Several of the most important legal victories ever won in behalf of the Negro in America are due to his efforts. In behalf of the N. A. A. C. P., hewas the only private individual to file a brief with the N. S. Supreme Court in the celebrated Grandfather Clause Case in 1915, which barred this form of disanchisement. He argued the celebrated Louisville Segregation case in 1917, (Buchannn vs. Warley) which forever outlawed residential segregation of colored citi- Arts Theatre, Thursday even-Already the fame of this promoad.

It has never been within the premises of our mental slant to find time to visit Cabarets or Dance Halls, but we are always on the alert for uprising conditions that affect the social and civic welfare of our young people. For a goodly number of years in the capacity of printing and advertising we have contacted Mr. Curtis Mosby, owner of the Apex: we have always found him to be a courteous gentleman, strictly adhering to business at all times. Within the past few months, when distinguished visitors were in our city, in looking over the business of Los Angeles the "Apex" was included and upon such occasions Mr. Mosby was not only the essence of courtesy but things were orderly and up to the standard in a business way which makes it an enigma at this time as to why Mosby has been picked for the Goat. We sense ulterior motives and if such proves to be the case all peoples who stand for the square deal and fair play should rise up and challenge such a pernicious situation. C. A. BASS zens by state or city enactment. And his victorious defense of six Arkansas colored farmers, also before the United States Supreme Court, not only freed those men from the death sentence, but established the principle (Continued on Page Two) THE AFRO-AMERICAN Presbyterian Council, the most representative body of Negro Presbyterians in thirty-fifth annual session went on record as favoring the merger of the denominations, and advocated that more attention be given to evangelism and religious education, and urged that the church be foremost in all movements making for the betterment and advancement of the community. THE TEN GREATEST women of all time have been selected by Emil Ludwig, world famous German biographer, in an article appearing in The American Magazine. America is represented in the list by Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." France has three representatives. Aspasia, wife of Pericles, whose reign marked the brightest period in the history of Greece, is placed as the earliest woman celebrity. Catherine of Sienna, who despite her saintly qualities accomplished the practical task of halting the wars that were ravaging France and Italy and of restoring the Pope, then in exile at Avingon, is given second place. Joan of Arc is credited with being equally practical in that she was the chief influence in bringing the Hundred Years' War to an end. Queen Elizabeth of England and Maria Theresa of Austria are called great more for their own personalities than for the periods in which they reigned. Madame de Maintenon, born in prison and later the ruler of the court of Louis XIV, is credited with being the foremost example of self-control, while Florence Nightingale is set up as the paragon of self-sacrifice. Madame Marie Curie, whose discoveries in the field of radium have saved the lives of thousands, and Eleanora Duse, the great actress, complete Ludwig's list. "The greatness of women" he says, "unlike that of men, is not a matter of the period in which they live. They would be as great in any age. The life of an important woman is always more interesting than that of an equally gifted man. The fact that she excels in knowledge, talent or power becomes the more remarkable because of the fact that in sex matters she must and will be submissive. When a woman of genius mates with a man, she verges on the tragic comer, for he is inferior to her in everything and yet he is the master. But when a woman of genius also bears and tears children, then she has exceeded masculine genius." THE SOCIETY of Friends, a Quaker organization of London protested against the barring of Negroes from public places because of their color. This action on the part of the Friends came about on account of the refusal of admittance of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Robeson to the dining room of one of London's leading hotels where they had been invited as honor guests. TODAY NEGROES are asking which way in, and white people are asking which way out? The Negroes who have, as far as they have been permitted to do so, lived up to the requirements of full-fledged American citizenship are in a quandry as to what further to do to gain the same and so they are asking which way in? While the whites who have gained the whole world of education, superficial culture and finance with their heels on the neck of every race and nation not white, but especially the Negro are beginning to feel a little pain in the conscience, and would like to find a way out of their troubled mental dilema. MISS EVELYN KLUGH of Boston, Mass., has been elected a member of the Board of the Boston Y. W. C. A. Only two cities in the United States—Toledo, Ohio and Boston—have colored women on their boards. WHAT will be recorded in the history of the Independent Church of Christ as the first State Jubilee week closed a memorable session last Sunday evening, with Floyd Covington, Industrial Secretary of the local Urban League as speaker. Mr. Covington used as his text, "As a Man Thinketh, and by a process of auto-suggestion, from the start had the rapt attention of his audience. He brought home to his hearers the fact that the Negro's psychology concerning his own ability to succeed in business was under estimated by himself, and that as yet the Negro had not gotten away from the idea that anything that was not done by the white man could not possibly be done right. He admonished his hearers to spend (Turn to Page Two, Please) USED ON 10.000.000 HEADS THERE'S A REASON It's OPAL HAIR DRESSING CREAM O PAL MFG. CD 2121 COTTAGE GROVE AVE CHICAGO,ILL FOR MEN & WOMEN Curtis Mosby the genial manager of the apex Nite club stopped his own show on professional night. Wednesday night is the night all the big tuners come down to the Apex and do their stuff. Many Requests After the many performers from the uptown show houses had gone their bit, request after request came from the guests for Mosby himself to do a number and he really did and no less. After directing his famous Blues Blowers in a number, Curtis instructed them to play, "Some Sweet Day." And some sweet singing Mr. Mosby did do. The boy can really sling a wicked note when the occasion arises. And to top that he did a little dance that went along with the song that was on the up and up too. If he had not gone in for drumming and musical instruments, I believe the manager of the Apex Nite Club would do credit on anybody's floor show as a heavy song and dance man. Curtis can self in and no less. Old Favorite Miss Carolyn Snowden was at a ring side tie (still think I am at the big fight last Tuesday night). Anyway she was there and Eddie Anderson of the famous Anderson brothers and Gus Jones team was acting as master of events that were taking place and she had as much chance of getting off without doing a number as I have of flying to Europe on another Lone Eagle stunt. Carolyn has not lost any of her old time zip and she can go a dirty breeze yet on the boards. As long as we have seen floor shows, etc., that was our first glimpse at the famous Creole girl on the floor and 'she can go any time for yours truly. L. Simmions Leona Simmions, one of the biggest in big time was there with her party and Eddie insisted that she do a number.

Miss Simmions did as a second number, "I am A One an's Woman, with a feeling.

FAMOUS PLAYERS IN TANGERINE-MUSICAL COMEDY OF SOUTH SEAS DAN SHAW A vacant title exists—Light heavy weights seemingly have gone into a huddle at to who's face. Boxing Lords of New York have let the world know who's by naming the four best men who will fight it out among themselves. Matehmakers have been invited to pair off Rosenbloom and Yale Okum, Lou Scozza he and George Courtney. Where does Leo Lomaki, Billy Jones, Pittsburgh Negro, Mickey Walker, Jimmy Slater, and Los Angeles own, Willie Henry come in for recognition. Mickey Walker says Willie Henry should be right at the top of the pack. His manager does not seem to be able to put him on the big time. Don't be surprised if you see Jack Kearns managing Willie Henry, the best Light Heavyweight on the coast today. Comparing recent records of the four men in (2) Rosenbloom is the best with Okum next in order of merit Rosenbloom has been winning constantly of late. Okum earned attention by his impressive wins over Dick Daniels* and Jimmy Braddock. Shortly after he boxed Tommy Loughran in a championship bout. Courtney is a vetran in the game with ability and Scozza does not appear to be entitled to a place on the list. He is not a top notcher. I remember when Jack McEwight a light middle weight out pointed him and conceded many pounds to him in Jimmy Slatter can up set all of the New York Boxing Commission selections by defeating Rosenbloom in Buffalo, New York next Monday evening. During the past year the boxers of lighter weights have taken a great deal of the heavyweights' limelight. This is due to the lack of outstanding performers in the heavy division and the color they lend to the situation Sharkey matched with Geo. Godfrey would outdraw by many thousands dollars any bout that could be promoted of the lighter weights yet despite this fact remains that the lighter weight fighters have attracted more and the heavyweights less attention than has been the case in many years. The performances of Kid Chocolate and Al Singer, Golde Hess, Tod Morgan, Earl Mastro and Santiago, Zorrilla have been to no small extent responsible for the popularity of boxers of this weight. Bouts between smaller men are always more interesting and productive of more action than ninety-nine out of one hundred heavyweight battles yet the element of size appeals to the public and the fans will fall over themselves to see two thundering 200 pounders, while knowing and admitting that men of less weight would provide a more entertaining spectacle. Compare the attendance of the Olympic, Hollywood and other clubs, see what the patronage is when a flyweight, lightweight or a good bucede weight bout is offered, and a bout between two heavyweights such as Tom Hawkins and Al Walker who left a terrible odor in the Olympic and to get it out, you will have to put T. N. T. under it and blow it up. Gorrilla Jones will never catch Jackie Fields again, if he does he will fight for glory. Fields wants $75,000 to defend his title against Jones. Where is the promoter who will promote such a fight? There is no Tex Ricard now. Boxing men of authority who saw the Fields-Jones tilt in San Francisco also, the daily papers claim Jones should have had the decision, giving Jones the first 5 rounds, 5 rounds even and Fields the last two. Morrie Cohan, Pasadena boy promoter, has signed Mack House to box Bear Cohan Wright, November 14th to date, Wright has not signed yet. House is in the best shape of his life and if he continues to work he will be on top of the ladder. Clyde Hudkins is watching him very carefully. Johnny Reed Christmas, 130 pounds and Pete Cardueze fought six rounds before a packed house, stealing the show. Chrisman won the decision handed down. Pop Hannon and Toot Cox, managers for Xmas will soon spot him in the Olympic shortly. The women do all the work. The men do nothing but stay at home and if they are caught working it is a prison term and no less. This is just what happens on this South Sea Island Tangerine. The so-called weaker sex are the stronger there. The women must and do work for the men. The island is ruled by a king with eight wives and each and every one is a slave. The king, taken by the incomparable Charles Olden, is an American man that came to the Tropics and founded a kingdom that was a paradise—until some American women came to the Island and put foolish ideas in the heads of his eight wives. Then things began to pick up. American Married Life The hit this week is a typical story lord fight the main event in Bakersfield, Calif., Nov. 14, Tab Langtong to win. Langford's last fight at the Olympic is no criterion of his ability; Langford substituted for the fight with Elks on a two-day notice. He is a great fighter when in shape. He did remarkably well. Wirt Ross, the one shot who has been in the East with Santiago Zorrilla, returned to the city to get his heavyweight fighters, Dynamite Jackson and Louis Ranoh, returning East at once to be with Santiago Zorrilla, whoights Bud Taylor, November 13 at Jack Dempsey's fistic heart. Kid North, San Diego sportsman, will have important announcements concerning the stable he will manage at the New Auga Calente racing course. I would hate to have a squabble with Ace Hudkins or Mickey Walker. Both boys are on edge, trained to the sharpness of a razor blade. Reports through Eastern papers state the Chocolate Keed may not fight again. Physicians have advised him to hang up the gloves to good. Examinations find that he is suffering from the leakage of the heart. Manager Jack Payne wrapped another and last Tuesday to Ose Tell. He must be losing his tiger. Jack Thompson, Veronon Jackson and Evans Fortune are Chicago bound Ray Alvis, Jack Dempsey wired him to hurry East, something in the making. Leonard Porter, Johny Reed Christmas Willie Henry, Young Peter Jackson, Sammy Jackson, copied wins over their opponents last week. DEAR ADVISOR: Perhaps you can help me solve my problem. My wife and I have been married for quite a number of years, and until recently, have gotten on well together. Now, it appears that she has grown tired of me. She has taken our three children and gone to live in a separate house, saying that the one I provided for her was not modern enough. I own my home, and figure that in a few years time I will have it comfortably furnished and suitable in every way. I will have to pay the rent for her new house. The one roomer has also gone with her. Her excuse for my remaining behind is that I had better stay and look after the place. Don't you think that if she cared for me, she would remain and help me build up our own home, sharing equal responsibility with me? ANS. Evidently your wife has lost hen love for you. The only thing for you to do is to forget her and find new interests in life. Continue to get your property into good shape, and eventually you will find someone who will appreciate you. Perhaps your wife's interests are with the roomer. My wife has taken up the habit of cigarette smoking. I do not approve of this fad among women and have asked her to stop. She has refused, on the grouns that I smoke, and that it is no worse for a woman to smoke than a man. I would hate to have so trivial a matter break up our home. What do you suggest that I do? UNCERTAIN Ans. Smoking is in many cases detrimental to the health. Talk this matter over with your wife telling her that her health may become affected. If she will not listen to this try arbitration. Tell her you will discontinue the habit if she will. Perhaps seeing that you desire so much that she does not smoke will stop her. At all events do not let so trifling a matter break up your home. the four friends are soon aiming their troubles. The three X's want their wives back and Dick wants to marry Shirley Dalton, (Evelyn Preer) who doesn't believe in the double knot. Plant Trip to Tangerine Owens plans a trip to the South Islands to visit this wonderful isle, where the women do all the work. The four men frame-up on the women concerned and so he hit off to the Islands. The purpose is to bring the ex-husbands and their wives together and teach them a lesson in the meantime. Dick also hopes to make Shirley see the value of married life. A rip snorting comedy is woven in this story and it is a laugh from start to finish. Laura Bowman Laura Bowman as Noa turns in a very creditable performance. The chorus is 'fast moving, with Marguerite Jones leading as only she can. Hawaiian Quartett The Hawaiian Social Club Quartett add atmosphere and color to the comedy, with their string instruments. One member of the Quartett made a decided hit with one of his native songs. Mosby and his Syncopators were BOULDER DAM LOS ANGELES AND THE NEGRO (BY E. L. DORSEY) This is a third installment by the writer on the above subject. The first covered the trip, the second gave a general description of the Colorado River and the Dam. The third to do with the Los Angeles acqueduct. Visualizing the growth of Los Angeles and the development of the great southwest with its many common interests in 1906, following the breaking of the levee which destroyed over 50,000 acres in the Imperial Valley the late Theodore Roosevelt, then president, in a message to Congress declared that a great impounding reservoir on the lower Colorado would furnish the only plan available for the ultimate salvation of the people and towns involved. Sixteen years later upo nite receipts of plans growing out of surveys and investigations carried on by the Government Reclamation Service, President Harding set in motion the wheels of activity which resulted in Congress at its last session accepting the selected site and ordering the erection of Boulder Dam. THE DAM The construction of the Dam is to be a mass of cement 550 feet high and 500 feet thick which will render three great services: 1. It will eliminate forever the Colorado River flood menace, which now annually threatens to destroy Imperial Valley and other developed areas in Southern California and Arizona. 3826-3828 CENTRAL AVE. It is a pleasure to trade where you may always find fresh, first-class goods at Market Price, along with courteous treatment. Meats, Groceries, Fruits and Vegetables Butter - Eggs and Cheese or Arizona and Arizona. 2. It will form a reservoirado's flood water by creating a gigantic reservoir some seventy miles in length and 30 miles in width capable of storing some 26,000,000 acre feet of water, and thus provide a dependable domestic and irrigation water supply for Arizona, Nevada and California. 3. It will create a site for the development of 1,000,000 horsepower of hydro-electricity. This electrical energy is urgently needed in the power consuming centers of the Southwest, POWER WILL PAY THE BILL EARN $3000 IN 90 DAYS While the financing of Boulder Dam is primarily a government undertaking and its original financing will be in government hands, the entire construction and maintenance cost will later be repaid by the electrical energy which the project will develop. Always with the problem of Western reclamation runs the problem of electrical development—or rather, electrical development is the solution; for it is to this source, and not to irrigation that all such enterprises must look for their final reimbursement. The seven Western States involved, which today, with minor exceptions, burn $18 coal in competition with $4 coal at Pittsburgh, need and can use this electrical energy. They need it also in an effort to conserve the rapidly dwindling supply of fuel oil, and this condition the proposed development will bring about; for the Boulder Canyon Dam will develop 600,000 horsepower of electrical energy, which will displace annually 23,000,000 barrels of fuel oil now consumed in the development of power. Much more, indeed, could be said on the theme of hydro-electric energy, and the question is one that might well attract the attention of all thoughtful minds. The day of steam is all but past; our coal and oil are rapidly diminishing, and the world at large is swiftly approaching the golden age of hydro-electricity.

Here again Los Angeles will profit. REAL ESTATE BARGAINS WHAT HAS BEEN DONE Los Angeles has more than a passing interest in the Boulder Dam project because out of the harnessing of this important stream the question of a domestic water supply for the Metropolitan Water District arises. To any city harboring a population of a million and half, the question of water and electrical power are two important factors in the pathway of its growth that might be well classified as problems which must of necessity be solved.

With this in mind Los Angeles through the channels of municipal ownership for the building and developing of a water and electric system that would assure her a sufficient supply of each, with the result that today she owns the world's largest municipal acqueduct. This is known as the Owens Valley Project and was completed in 1913 at a cost of approximately $24,000,000, is 250 miles long and taps the pure snow waters of the Sierra Nevada mountains at an elevation of 3800 feet. Up to recent times it has adequately y supplied her industrial and domestic needs. That the undertaking has not only proved serviceable but profitable is evidenced by the undisputable fact that water is being delivered to the consumer through its 3200 miles of distributing mains a rate of less than 13 cents for 750 gallons, while the average rate charged in 183 of America's largest cities is 18 cents. In addition to this the Municipal Power Bureau has built five electro generating plants along the acqueduct and erected and maintains 10,000 miles of overhead and 400 miles of underground lines, 1st which carry and distribute to the consumer power and light service at a rate lower than any city of comparable size in the United States. 2nd pays all charges on its bonds of its own revenues and does not receive one cent from taxes; 3rd has saved the people of Los Angeles more than 4,000,000 by its low rates, campared to rates charged by private Power Companies outside the city; 4th has returned to the City net earnings totaling $24,000,00 since 1918, despite REAL ESTATE SALESMEN WANTED!

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE One Year ..... $2.90 Six Months ..... $1.25 Three Months ..... $.75 Per Copy ..... 05 Death is an incident, the terms of which are usually applied to the passing of human beings but we have recently been reminded that it is quite as often applicable to other avenues when upon inquiries made concerning the disappearance from the news stands of the "Messenger," a monthly periodical, published for several years by Phillip Randolph and Chandler Owens, a friend informed us that it has passed to the great beyond. We do not know that there were any funeral services but had there been and were we called upon to prepare an obituary I could have truthfully said that while it was in our midst it made itself felt, it played an important role in the economic adjustment of the Negro, during and following the World's War. While it lived it fearlessly served the race in the face of threats and intimidated sent its editors and at times violent journalistic opposition. We presume the Negro didn't appreciate its value, consequently like other worthy causes suffering from lack of patronage it was forced to close its doors, shut its eyes and pass into the great beyond a martyr to the cause it represented. However we feel if there is any such thing as a newspaper heaven that one will find the "Messenger" not only an inmate, but an honored guest mobilizing about still actively engaged in persuasing its duty of working for a better general economic understanding between capital and labor on the one hand and labor and the Negro on the other; an inmate whose records and deeds here on earth was such as to gain for it signal distinction and honor in the newspaper spirit world. A. Radiator said to Gin Bottle the other morning, "I see where the proprietors are held responsible for persons caught in cafe's with liquor on them. "Hu!" said Gin Bottle, "that's nothing, the chauffer is held responsible if you're found dry. Speaking of Bob Shuler broadcasting, we overheard John Felix let this one drop: "Say 'boy, ought to heard old Bob over the radiator last night. He was sure hot." * * * Quite an amusing incident happened last Sunday in front of Eighth and Towne Avenue church. As the Honorable Walter L. Gordon, Sr., and his distinguished wife were motoring down Eighth, after attending morning services at Rev. Shaw's church, their highpowered Buick got right in front of old Bethel and deliberately stood dead still. Services were still in progress and despite the strenuous efforts made by Friend Gordon and other sympathetically inclined, the Buick wouldn't move until services were over and our friend had contributed to the financial branch at the suggestion of an elderly sister who said that might help. We don't believe in luck, but believe me that stunt had its effect and the Gordons have decided to side-step Eighth street and use San Pedro. We notice by observation that A. E. Andarsonia has acquired a smart looking Essex for a change. The Madam is all smiles. No wonder he bet on Sonsenberg. Attorney Jennings continues to make a poetic hit with Eagle Subscribers. If it were not for the fact that his ability as a lawyer was so well grounded in our community we'd accuse him of missing his calling. We have for a number of years been trying to learn just who the person was that the picture of Aunt' Jemina represented, and lo and behold it proved to be none other than the Exalted Ruler of the local Elks Lodge and Worshipful Master of St. John's, his eminence the Honorable Frank White who appeared in person at the wonderful Halloween dance party given in Santa Monica by Mrs. Edna Broyles and Mrs. Mattie Peters last Saturday night. We also noticed that Chas. Broady had joined the navy and Mouroe Parker had, from appearances, become self-appointed pastor of Satan's Congregational Church. ```markdown ``` Who was the smart looking young lady who tore out for Chicago to mebby stay and took the first train back for L. A.? In her short absence you noticed some local changes that have left her wondering just what it's all about. Don't worry, time will tell. Miss Oris Conley of Sacramento, sister of Mrs. N. Dorssey, motored into Los Angeles over the S. P. highway for a vacation period. We see by the Examiner where a colored chauffeur was recently arrested for attempting to pull a Pantons stunt. What we want to know is how the accuser could so accurately identify him and where he lived at 3:00 a. m. I make a motion to the effect that all who believe that tale, stand upon their heads. Of course the Examiner might not have got it straight, strange things happen in Los Angeles! * * * "The Ghosts" that mighty body that once a year shakes the flesh off its bones and gives a ghost frolic to which hundreds attend, came forth from their hair in mass last Tuesday nite and held one of the greatest dance parties of all time. The affair was so real that for the last two days an extra force of ten men has been at work with brooms, knives, bats and what-nots trying to drive the remaining spirits and ghosts out of the premises. They are making slow progress. For several years the colored patrons looked with pride upon the colored athlete in football realms. His appearance was an added attraction that had in turn an added effect upon the attendance. But of late since the passing of the great Bryce Taylor it looks like opportunity of a Negro to represent the group is passing the we hope not. However, Stanford with its prejudice may have a detrimental effect upon other teams herefore favorably inclined toward allowing the colored college youth, when competent, an opportunity to show his wares. We would like to hear from Nibs Price and Howard Jones on this subject before further commenting. NICK CHILES, NOTED KANSAS EDITOR, PASSES TO THE GREAT BEYOND (By J. B. BASS) (Continued from Page One) Hundreds of instances could be cited of his militant stand on behalf of humanity. Only four years ago he was a candidate against Senator Charles Curtis (now vice-president) for a seat in the United States Senate and received a very commendable vote. Four years ago he was united in marriage to Mrs. Hemrietta Harper of this city, and two years ago he and his bride visited Los Angeles where he met with a most cordial and enthusiastic welcome, and was feted and highly honored while in our city. For quite a long period of time Mr. Cailies has been afflicted, but his energy and will power kept him up on his feet, when finally he has forced to go to the hospital, everything possible was resorted to that medical skill could devise to prolong his life but to no avail and in the still watch of an early morn on last Saturday he passed away. The race loses one of its most striking and dependable characters, humanity one of its greatest advocates and withal a citizen and patriot worth while. In his passing we lose a personal friend not unlike a brother. We join with a bereaved family and in sorrow extend our sincere sympathy and condolence. His funeral was held on last Tuesday from St. John A. M. E. church of which he was a member and the greatest crowd turned out to pay their last respects in the history of Topaka for one of its colored citizens MOORFIELD STORY DIES (Continued from Page One) ple in American jurisprudence that a trial conducted in an atmosphere of mob sentiment is not the process of strumental in interesting the late Louis Marshall in the work of the N. A. A. C. P., inducing him to become a Director and a valued member of the National Committee. The N. A. A. C. P. feels the loss of these two great minds and champions of honor and decency in national aftrats to be a heavy loss, coming as the deaths do, within a period of two months. In addition to being represented at the funeral by Mr. White, the N. A. A. C. P. has telegraphed its condolence to the family and seat a floral tribute. Ithas also invited Mary White Ovington, Chairman of the National Board of Directors, Arthur B. Spingarn, Vice-President and Chairman of the Legal Committee, Joseph P. Loud, Boston member of Board and Butler R. Wilson, President of the Boston Branch of N. A. A. C. P. to attend the funeral of Mr. Storey, if it is possible to rthem to do so. (Continued from Page One) less time fighting each other in business and otherwise, and a great deal more getting together. Mr. Covington's words of wisdom were highly appreciated by Dr. Greggs and the congregation. The members of Independent church divided as they were in Stace club groups had their eyes centered on a very beautiful loving cup which was to be awarded to the largest sum of money, and was won by the South Central group headed by Mrs. Vard, as Superintendent and Mrs. Nettie Phillips as Governor who turned over $217.45. And again the Independent church leads off with a program of progress. New York City, Oct. 25—News dispatches received here Wednesday state that whites in Nairobi, Africa, as disturbed over the growing restlessness of the fighting native tribes of Lumbwas and Massias. According to reports the natives have incested that they are tired of the domination o the whites and an uprising is feared. The tribes are noted for their fighting ability and their war-like spirit and the whites, who are outnumbered have sent out an S. . S. for additional police to guard the frontier. T. A.

In other words—"How Dare You to Fight Back! We'll fix you!" to Fight Back! We'll nix you! As a matter of fact, one of the officers in the complaint department, in the presence of Attorney Macbeth made the assertion, "We have got the damn N—— now, and we will close him up." CAPTAIN HAGER GIVES ORDER It was further disclosed at the hearing on the issuance of the complaint that the order to close Mosby's place was issued by Captain Hager of the Newton street station. It is said by many, even this movement was dictate to Captain Hager by his superior, for it is known that in his heart he would not be a party to such a diabolical act as the destruction of a man's property and business, no matter what his color. approval. Sergeant Shoemaker signed the complaints. Mosby has been arraigned and asked for a jury trial and the case has been set up to November 22, when perhaps, one of the most sensational trials in the municipal court will take place in the history of the city. Artorney Hugh Macbeth represents Curtis Mosby. (By: A. N. P.) Memphis, Tenn. Oct. 22.—Rev. Benjamin H. Perkins, and George J. Strong, co-owners of the Tri-State Tribune, a weekly published here, have dissolved partnership and the former has filed a suit for injunction in Chancery Court. The action grew out of the publishing of an article attacking the ministers of Memphis. Rev. Perkins, who in addition to being pastor of the largest Baptist church in the city, is head of a large fraternal organization the Sons and Daughters of the Guiding Star, charges that it was agreed between him and Strong that no article would appear in the paper which was not mutually agreed upon. He protested the publishing of the article criticizing the ministerial group but notwithstanding Strong published the article thereby breaking their agreement and causing the split. The partnership was formulated in May when the Guiding Star became the Tri-State Tribune. Rev. Perkins further claims that his partner has appropriated all of the subscription money and has failed to pay his share of the operating expenses. Tria lof Chicago Police men Set for November 7th ember 7, according to the decision of Judge Davis, who conducted the hearing. The police were hailed before the Grand Jury here last week and indictments were returned against them. Attorney William H. Haynes, assistant states attorney, advised Judge David that he was ready to prosecute the case against the officers immediately, but the attorney for the defendants requested time to prepare their case. It was hinted in the court that the officers would ask for separate trials. Attorney Haynes let it be known that the state would fight such a move vipiously declaring that the officers had been indicted for murder and if they were guilty they should be punished without delay and if innocent should be free. Bonds were made for the officers who have been suspended from the police force pending the outcome of the trial. Mr. S. Jackson Murphy, formerly connected with the 28th St. Branch at the Y. M. C.

BISHOP CAREY CHARGED WITH SELLING JOB; DECLARES IT IS A BLACK MAIL SCHEME Chicago, Oct. 29-By A. N. P. Political and church circles were shocked here Friday when daily newspapers carried a lurid report that Bishop Archibald J. Carey had been charged with selling city jobs and that he probably would be haled before the grand jury to explain his side of the affair. The charges were made against the Bishop and civil service commissioner by a white man named Loyal E. McGill, a small bore politician, who declared that he was making the confession to the state's attorney to protect himself from those from whom he had collected funds which he claimed to have turned over to the Bishop. The Bishop's friends indigently denying the charge, declared the whole matter was a trumped up effort by political enemies to discredit him and that McGill whom they claimed had operated a confidence game swindling his friends and collecting tribute with the promise of getting them jobs simply used the Bishop's name as a blind. McGill promised all sorts of positions, some of them under civil service, such as clerkship, places as firemen and policemen as well as humbler laborer and janitor places. According to McGill's statement, he met Bishop Carey immediately after Mayor Thompson had appointed the latter on the civil service commission. The introduction, he said, was made by the late Dan Jackson and at the time he claims Bishop Carey told him that he would be pleased to give his friends civil service preference and place them in city jobs, providing suitable financial arrangements were made. Working under this plan, McGill stated that he had collected sums, ranging from $100 to $300 from jobsteekers and had turned the money over to Bishop Carey who promised to see that the payees were placed in city jobs. When the jobs were not forthcoming, McGill declared those individuals came to him for their money and since he could not produce it he went to the State's Attorney for protection. McGill claimed he had been in named Harris withdraw from the race for committeeman against Jackson, giving this as the excuse for Jackson's friendship. No man by the name of Harris ever ran for committeeman against Jackson and Bishop Carey's supporters point to that falshood as typical of the man's whole statement. BISHOP DENIES CHARGES When informed of the charges that had been made against him Bishop Carey immediately went to the States Attorney and issued a statement denying the charges. The Bishop claims that the first time he ever saw McGill was two weeks ago when he had him brought to his office to question him about representing himself as a friend of the Bishop and promising people that he could secure jobs for them through Bishop Carey's influence. "I never saw the man," Bishop Carey told Attorney Swanson, "until two weeks ago when he was brought to my office, nor did he ever pay me a dime. The first I ever heard of him was sometime before when his wife called and asked if she could see me. "When she came to my office she said she had come about the financial arrangements that her husband had with me. I told her that I knew nothing about her husband and had no arrangement with him. She then wanted me to see him, and I refused telling her I did not wish to have anything to do with anyone who would make such false representations. "I was advised by friends that I had better follow this thing up as someone might be trying to put something over on me. I had McGill brought to my office, and had police officers present. I tried to get one of the persons who had given him money to prefer charges against McGill so to have him arrested, but the person refused, saying he would have a better chance of getting his money back if McGill was out of jail. It is a confidence game pure and simple. I am absolutely innocent of any charges." Talking to a representative of the Associated Negro Press Bishop Carey declared that on the day McGill charges that he turned money over to him, he was down in Anderson, Indiana, presiding over a church conference. This statement was corroborated by members of the Bishop's office force by numerous ministers and by newspaper clippings from the daily paper 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' works have been years of hard work and hearty cooperation on the part of both pastor and congregation.

MINISTERS EMPLOY DETECTIVE Friends of the Bishop have rallied to him and one white man down in a down-state city in Illinois has written the Bishop offering to present proof that McGill is a crook of long stancing and that in 1921 he swindled a large group of people out of money. Ministers of the Fourth Episcopal District rose immediately to protect their prelate, employing Sheridan Brusseaux, well-known detective. In a Press Mr. Brusseaux said, "I have been employed to make an investigation and ascertain the truth of the charges which have appeared in the reputation, character of McGill and the environment in which he lived and find so many discrepancies that it appears certain a conspiracy exists between McGill and other individuals to extract money from the Bishop. The whole thing is a political plot intended to discredit a member of our group. NATIONAL "Y" CONFERENCE IN FINE SESSION Chicago, Oct. 19—By A.N.P.—The National Conference on work among colored men and boys of the Y. M. C. A. has just closed what leaders called a most successful session at the Wabash Avenue Department of the Y. M. C. A. in this city. Among the outstanding speakers and leaders were Dr. Robert R. Moton; Dr. John Hope; Mr. Fred W. Ramsey, General Secretry of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A.; Ex-Governor William Sweet of Colorado; Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University; Congressman Oscar DePriest of the First, Congressional District; Jesse Binga, and Anthony Overton of Chicago, Mr. W. R. Walentine, Principal of the Manual Training School, Bordentown, N. J.; Dr. R. H. Bowling, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Norfolk, Va.; Mrs. Max Vergan, wife of the pioneer worker in South Africa; Dr. M. W. Dogan, President of Wiley College, Marshall, Texas; Dr. W. T. Nelson of Cincinnati; Atty Robert L. Brokenburr of Indianapolis; and Dr. A. Herbert Gray, noted English author and lecturer The administrative officers directing the conference were; Dr. Robert R. Moton, Chairman of the General Committee; Mr. William H. Wortham, Chairman of the Executive Committee; Mr. S. Ellis Stewart, Chairman of the Local Committee; and Channing H. Tobias, Executive Secretary. There were discussion groups directed by R. W. Bullock, National Boys' Work Secretary, and these groups engaged in the discussion of how to improve the services of national and state agencies to local Associations, and how to improve the quality of service rendered by local Associations to their membership and the general public. The Linocuped. Field came in for considerable discussion which resulted in a petition to the National Council meeting this week at the Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, asking that a national foundation be provided to receive funds with which to support the Field Service of the National Council to colored men and boys throughout the world. This step was taken because the discussions revealed the fact that the need was so great that it was impossible for the National Council through its regular budget to need The really dramatic moment of the conference came in the discussion of the work in South Africa that is being carried on by Max Yergan former worker in Student Associations in this country for a few weeks, delivered an exceedingly forceful address upon the needs of the African field and earnestly solicited the conference to find ways and means immediately for completing the building fund necessary to erect a center for the work in South Africa. Following the earnest appeal of Mrs. Yergan, the conference went on record in the following memorial to the National Council: The Twenty-second National Conference on Colorectal Work of the Young Men's Christian Association has noted with interest and concern to conditions-social, political, and religious in South Africa. Realizing that there are forces in conflict along all these lines and that the inter-racial problem enters into further complicate the situation, we look with satisfaction and pardonable pride upon the achievements of Max Yergan, pioneer and lone worker in this difficult field. He has proved himself a Christian statesman, realizing from the beginning that the problem facing the rising group of leaders of the African people is not only complicated in its technical aspects, but is often unbattered by the sense of injustice aroused by racial discrimination. From the Christian point of view, how to act in the presence of such dangers to their whole life and personalities and contribute to the building up a life in South Africa that shall be fair to all and hostile to none are the most critical of the questions with which Yergan is faced. We petition the National Council of the Y. M. C. A.'s to consider some means by which friends of Yergar and the African work may have an opportunity outside the regular budget to provide the means necessary to employ this additional worker without whom an advance in Africa will be impossible.

Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention, and pastor of the Olvet Baptist Church of this city, was named on the National Memorial Commission, by President Herbert Hoover, last week. Dr. Williams received his certificate of membership Wednesday morning. The duties of this commission are: to select a site for the memorial building, secure designs and plans, to formulate program for the financial campaign and to supervise the creation and management of the building. The National Memorial Building will depict the contributions the Negro race has made toward the development of the United States and the part Negro soldiers have played in defending the country. Congress has appropriated $50,000 toward the project contingent upon the raising of $500,000 from other sources. It is also estimated that a sum of $2,000,000 will be necessary to erect and maintain the building. Other members of the commission are: F. D. Lee, president; D. John R. Hawkins, treasurer; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Rev. J. R. Ransom, Attorney Webster L. Porter, Rev. H. C. Weeden, Judge W. C. Hueston Paul Williams, architect, W. G. Pearson, and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune. An Old, Old Story An Old, Old Story She loved unwisely, and too well: She loved him more than words could tell. She sought to win his favor. To him, her all, she freely gave He was her Lord; she was his slave—Nor did her courage waver. She poured her secrets in his ears. She trusted him with all her fears. His manner was presuming. When of her fate he was aware He laughed and said he did not care. Her happiness entombing. She made excuses for his act She said it was her fault in fact. She was so sweet and trusting. He saw her less from day to day And finally he went away. His manner was disgusting. Though they were few and fare apart His letters seemed to warm her heart. His post was never stated. Though she grew pale, she did not pine. When she grew ill, she did not whine. But patiently she waited She said, "I know my lover cares." His name was always with her prayers. "He will come back and claim me I know he's coming after while Please God, protect me and his chiff Don't let the people shame me." So when at last that day did dawn. She paid the price, received the pawn. Two blessed lives were taken. And as her eyes were closed in death, His name was last upon her breath, Her confidence unshaken! -IVA O. REED. MR. and MRS. D. F.

Let Growing Children Get Dirty ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M. D. (For The Associated Negro Press) "Mother, May I go out to play?" To many otherwise modern mothers that is still the signal for the invariable response. "All right, but see to it that you keep clean." Then follows either of two courses. If the child comes home with grimy cheeks and soiled clothing—having forgotten your admonition—there is a scolding that takes all the joy from his memories of a happy afternoon. If, on the other hand, he remembers your warning, the chances are that he will miss a lot of fun. Why not let the child get dirty? If necessary, make him change into a suit of old play clothes, but let him be free to concentrate on making mud pies, climbing trees, running, jumping, playing baseball or anyone of the many health-giving activities which some exasperated mothers think were invented in order to give them extra work to do each day. His hands and face can be washed and so can most of his clothes. Even if there are a few extra pieces in the laundry, the time it takes to wash them could not be spent in a worthier cause. Give the growing child washable clothes to play in and plenty of soap, hot water and fresh towels so that he can clean up when play time is over. Teach him to be neat and clean by all means. By the time he reaches school age we would like him to have acquired regular habits of cleanliness More Sunday Pleasure Next Sunday, get a Red Car Pass for $1.00, and enjoy a whole day of sightseeing.

John Steven McGreearty addressed the Pasadena Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. at Friendship Baptist Church, Monday night. A guest of his splendid talk is as follows: "Negroes should be proud of their race * * * * No race in the history of the world has accomplished as much as the American Negro in so short a time * * * * I often wish that I were a Negro * * * * Race hatred is due to misunderstanding; education helps us to understand each other, and so education will ultimately help to abolish race prejudice * * * * Such men as Mr. McGreearty can do our race manifold good, especially by their doctrine of human brotherhood as advocated. Pasadena was indeed honored to procure his service (free) and may the good seeds that he sowed blossom forth into the splendid creation of human brotherhood. CHURCHES--- Friday evening at the Calvary Baptist Church the Negro group of the International Missionary Tea was well represented by Mrs. Eva Solomon. She spoke on "Race Prejudice". The speaker boldly cited the evils of race superiority complexes, etc., while acknowledging the guilt of all races in this respect, notwithstanding she wondered at the unusual amount shown by the white brothers and sisters. To quote Mrs. Solomon: "Why do the American whites send missionaries to Japan to 'save the Japanese', and on the other hand, do everything possible to run them out of America itself? Why do white employers learn to love their Negro servants—eat with them, sleep with them, confide in them—and yet in public and society look upon them as being inferior?" These questions doubtless set the listeners to thinking. Mrs. Solomon's delivery was forceful yet simple and to the point. Christian Alliance Mission—Rev. Lewis Callendar, pastor. Special services were rendered Sunday evening. Two Filipino Missionaries spoke. The workers had been instrumental in gaining the pardon of several prisoners at San Quinton. Some of these very prisoners were present and gave interesting testimonies of their conversion. The church will serve a free Turkey Dinner. Thanksgiving, for the poor. The dinner will be served at 22nd and Garfield Sts., Los Angeles. Friendship Baptist—W. D. Carter, pastor. The recent Rally was a success; over $1500 was raised. Club No. 9 raised the most money; they raised over $600 so their will be the pleasure of burning the mortgage. Metropolitan Baptist—E. W. Moore, pastor. An interesting program was rendered at Metropolitan, Sunday night. The men of the church united with the Brotherhood. Dr. Shipland and the President of the Los Angeles Brotherhood were present.

Of course the merry season is still more than a month away, but many children and grown-ups have already begun to make their plans. To do the kind of thing that old Kriskringle does takes a lot of planning if it is to be done well: in a manner of speaking you have to get ready for it. Not that this planning is ever hard work, even if you go as it with all your might and main; because as every boy and girl knows when you do anything to make anyone happy, it is never hard work, and the more patience and skill you have to employ in doing it, the more fun it is. If you were to ask him face to face, Santa Claus would tell you that a lot of people miss half the fun of Christmas because they forget that it isn't what is given that counts, but how the thing is given. He would tell you that what a thing costs, or how much it shines, has nothing to do with it. What really counts is how much affection and kindness and well-wishing you put into it. It's what you are, and not what the gift is, that counts. That's why Christmas is such a wonderful season; and that is why most people who like Santa Clause and Christmas try to plan and get ready for this great day; so that they may have most of themselves to give when that day comes. Santa Clause never yet waited till the last minute and then scurried around and wondered what he would do about this and about that. You can guess from the stories they tell about him, and from the way he looks, that he is the kind who does things when they ought to be done—quite a while before the last minute. And in these things it is well to follow Santa's example.

To this end the holiday may be expected to display much of the old time recognition of its distinctive appeal to the young. Its best celebration is that which gives the foremost thought to the children. It is only when this idea is enlarged and expressed that the season secures its happiest celebration. The disposition to make the season one for the indulgence of extravagant adult practices and dissipations is destructive of the real joy and meaning of the season. The displays that greet us from shop windows serve more than a practical or commercial value for shoppers. They re-create in mature minds the eternal joy of childhood. The coming season's memories are the grown people's chief joy, or should be. No other season so stirs the heart of those who are now the providers of those same joys that were once theirs. If this spirit is not confined to the mere selfish and narrow limits of those "of our own" but is expressed in making richer and fuller the lives of those who need our help. This Christmas tide will be the happiest and most useful of our lives. "WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?" Automobile and other street many cities that campaigns have pedestrians as well as drivers of on the public streets. Investigations of accidents on per cent of them is avoidable; the part of the driver of the vet sufferer when a collision occurs. Men and women rush across Automobile and other street accidents have become so numerous in many cities that campaigns have been commenced to teach the public, pedestrians as well as drivers of vehicles, the wisdom of exercising care on the public streets. Investigations of accidents on the streets have developed that a large per cent of them is avoidable; that they are the result of carelessness on the part of the driver of the vehicle or the pedestrian who is the worst sufferer when a collision occurs. Men and women rush across the streets or between vehicles, apparently without any thought of the dangers they face in doing so. Many persons can be seen leaving a street car at the rear door and crossing the street behind the car, thereby running the risk of being struck by a car passing on the "blind" side. Automobile drivers are not blameless in the matter. Many of them take chances in rushing across a street ahead of another automobile, all for the evident purpose of saving a few seconds, as if the saving of time justified them in running the risk of being struck. The drivers of vehicles are blamed for many more accidents than should be charged to them. Pedestrians/have a responsibility which they should not attempt to evade. It is much easier for the individual to wait a few seconds that it is for the driver of an automobile to stop to prevent striking a person who has rushed into the middle of the street in thoughtless haste. Every person, driver or pedestrian, who uses the streets has it in his power to aid in making the street safe for all. If Mr. Shearer can break up all-night parties in apartment houses as easily as he does naval conferences, he's worth more than $25,000. An airplane that can do 355 miles an hour should be just the thing for the sub-divider whose lots are only eight minutes from the bus line. What puzzles us about the dinosaur, after following the dispatches for a time, is the trait of leaving its thigh bones in Arizona and its eggs in Mongolia. "Americans," says a foreign lecturer, discuss an annoyance endlessly but never do anything about it." For that reason, foreign lecturers are comparatively safe. There seems to be money in too many things besides working. Every week has too many nights to stay up late on all of them. Many a man is chiefly known for his ability to drive a hard bargain: Figures may not lie, but statistics will back up a lot of misinformation. What has become of the old-fashioned individual who kept an honest-to-goodness diary? If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON A letter from someone signing themselves asks for using the word "Negro" and suggests of the opinion that word "colored" would be pardoned for using tins homely company of eggs it would be but eggs.

If we should write "colored people the darker peoples in this country—Japan, but we are Americans! So is an Irish naturalized or native born, or for that me Negro makes you no less an American. Received a letter from someone signing themselves "Jaunito Noe" taking us to task for useing the word "Negro" and suggesting that he, she, or they, were of the opinion that word "colored" would be more appropriate when writing of "OUR GROUP." I beg to be pardoned for using this homely comparison, but if we were to write of eggs it would be but eggs. We might mean hen, duck or snake eggs. If we wrote colored eggs, it would have no further definition, except the eggs were colored. But if we explicitly named the source of the eggs you would know what we were writing about. The law has decreed that, in the United States, any person with a certain amount of African blood is a Negro. We admit that what that law designates as Negro is as multicolored as "Jacob's Coat," and the African strain is smothered by a preponderance of "Nordic" blood, yet that little strain makes the Negro. Then again, Negro designates a positive thing. Colored may denote, anything. Negro: It is the epitome of virile achievement. If we should write "colored people" it might include any of the darker peoples in this country—Japanese, Chinese or Hindu. You say, but we are Americans! So is an Irishman, German Italian, either naturalized or native born, or for that matter, any other race. Being a Negro makes you no less an American. * * * * * less is, having a pride in one's racial lineage and Africa as the seat of an ancient civilization of the West.

Politics and re What matters is, having a pride in one's racial lineage. Anthropologists have placed Africa as the seat of an ancient civilization which is the basis of the civilization of the West. Neither need one be ashamed of the onward march made by the Negro in the Western world. In the United States he has shown the spirit of his ancestors, and in spite of all the inhibitions is rapidly carving out his future in the nation. If ever there was an assassin designation placed on a people it is that of "Our Group." It means nothing: Has no particular significance. What is needed most, especially in this younger generation, is a shedding of the complex that the Negro is something to get away from. It would be better far if by a cultivation of noble ideals we all strive to make the word "Negro" respected among the races of earth. Conrad Hubert, who made his fortune through the invention of the flashlight died recently in France. He left to charity a trust fund of eight million ($88,000,000) dollars. He chose three outstanding Americans to distribute it. He named Calvin Coolidge, former president of the United States, and a Protestant; Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York and a Catholic; Julius Rosenwald, noted philanthropist and a Jew; Protestant, Roman Catholic, Jew. Why? The answer is obvious. The religious brand is as hard to get by as the racial one. The man who bequeathed that eight million to charity felt that it would receive a more equitable distribution if three men of three different religious beliefs were named to administer it. But without question, there could not have been three better men named for the stupendous task. High in morale and character. Each has the respect and trust of the entire nation. They, together, should function well, and it is said that a mutual respect has grown between them. Politics and religion has been cast aside. * * * * * that the more drastic the law, the more a other day prohibition enforcement offi- cies the New Jersey highlands fully equipped with radio to guide the rum runners as ows.

Only the other day prohibition enforcement officers captured a fortification on the New Jersey highlands fully equipped with the weapons of war and with radio to guide the rum runners as they came into the Jersey Narrows. It is estimated that the ring was doing a business of more than one million dollars a week. Expenditures undertheed by the investigators show that near a million dollars has been expended in the past month for rum runners. Still they say that prohibition is a success. Should there be a call for a public referendum the bootleger would be the heaviest subscriber to the campaign to defeat a repeal. It was a very apt phrase. "A noble experiment." that president Hoover used to define prohibition when he was campaigning for the office of president of the United States. It has not only been a noble, but a costly experiment. By costly we do not mean in dollars and cents, but from a viewpoint of morals. If prohibition, has created more lairs and hypocrites; more disregard for constituted authority; been the cause of more direct murders and alcoholic deaths than ever before existed. We fought and voted for the "experiment." But we have been convinced that government control will be the only means of stopping illicit manufacture of alcohol. Charged with ten counts of bribery and extortion, three Negro police officers, Cornelius S. Bradford, Shannon W. Wylie and Arthur R. McClanahan have been placed under heavy bond after arrangement on a grand jury indictment charging the acceptance of fees from purveyors of illicit alcoholic beverage. What makes it more distressing is, that these men were charged with the duty of preventing the distribution of such goods. We learn that they were detailed to make a special survey of the morals of the community, use their positions as officers, sworn to uphold the law, to enforce them. But it is alleged that they succumbed to the wiles of the temper, and for a recompense, sought to shield the evil doer. Oh yes! There were white officers of the law who committed the same crime, who have been arrested and, in some instances, incarcerated. But that is neither here nor there. The existing law of prohibition is to blame. Take the means making these bribes possible away from the bootleger and there will be no chance for bribery of public officials. Make it necessary to drink liquor in public or not at all and there will be less intoxication. Instead of the young fellow with a flask on his hip being a hero, he will become as obsolete as the Dotto. We feel the greatest sorrow for the predicament of those three Los Angeles officers, because of the nonsensical laws that made it possible. Other countries have found the fallacy of continuing the experiment and have enacted laws which have placed the traffic of liquor under government control. Such and such only will be the means of making a betterment of the moral situation and furthering the cause of temperance. * * * * * appard, Texas, sponsor of the Eighteenth Amendment, would put "purchase" into the amended order to make the individual purchaser. There is quite a division of opinion amoris. The drys are afraid that the very several to their cause, and a number of the lawiming that it will make repeal of the law has been a court ruling where a lower courtaser, but the verdict was reversed by a higher the Eighteenth Amendment and the Voter is not made an offense, the purchase order to punishment . . . while the seller whisper is liable both for sale and transport the purchase is not an abetter of the off statute." The supreme test will come be Court for such failure. Senator Sheppard, Texas, sponsor of the Eighteenth Amendment in the Upper House, would put "purchase" into the amended National Prohibition law in order to make the individual purchaser guilty equally with the seller. There is quite a division of opinion among both the wet and dry factions. The drys are afraid that the very severity of the act will prove inimical to their cause, and a number of the wets are urging the measure, claiming that it will make repeal of the law that much easier. There has been a court ruling where a lower court convicted both seller and purchaser, but the verdict was reversed by a higher court who ruled that "Under the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Law the purchase of liquor is not made an offense, the purchase of such does not subject the buyer to punishment . . . while the seller who delivers the liquor to a purchaser is liable both for sale and transportation . . . We are satisfied that the purchase is not an abetter of the offense within the meaning of the statute." The supreme test will come before the United States Supreme Court for final arbitrament. Now comes Judge Dawson, federal judge, who instructs a Louisville grand jury that they can return indictments against a liquor buyer, not as an abetter to a seller, to which he considers Philadelphia court's opinion is limited, but under the Volstead Act itself, which, in his opinion covers illegal buying for personal consumption. A part of Section 6 reads, "No one shall manufacture, sell, purchase, transport or prescribe any liquor without first obtaining a permit from the commissioners. But there is an exception, and it says without a permit you can purchase and use liquor for medicinal purpose when prescribed by a physician." Prohibition as now placed on the statute books will continue to hold the spotlight in national affairs until the question is decided one way or the other. Like Banquod's Ghost, it won't down. President Hoover has named the committee to supervise plans for the erection of a memorial building to commemorate the Negroes contribution to the achievements of America. He has named eleven of the outstanding Negroes of the nation. They represent the financial, educational and business progress of the American Negro. But that which pleases us most, is the naming of Paul Williams, noted architect of Los Angle, Cal., as the one to design and superintend the erection of that building. Paul is a product of California's educational institutions as well as being to the "manor born." He has achieved international fame as an architect, but when his name was incidentally mentioned among a number of his "home staters," there was a surprise to find out how many really knew so little about those who have made them famous abroad. Sargeant Johnson, artist and sculptor, recognised by the artist of the State of California and recipient of awards for the artistic beauty of his work, is scarcely known to even those who claim racial pride in success, Californians. Though proclaimed abroad. It is a true saying that "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country." So it is with them who achieve. There always seems to be a maximum of jealousy among the "Towners" which precludes the recognition of the men and women who do things. It is too bad that such feelings should exist. It is a recognized fact that jealousies are an adjunct to human frailties. It is more prevalent in small communities than in others. It might be caused by the isolation which causes some to draw aloof from general contact. Did you ever attend a public reception tendered some celebrity where verbal bouquets were being handed out with reckless abandon? So many things are said and so many loyal pledges given that the recipient would be prone to believe, that at last he had found the haven of rest; the one spot on earth where there will be no strife nor worry. In the capacity as an observer of such affairs and watching the effects shortly after, we have come to the conclusion that any number of the things said were done with the tongue in the cheek. All amateur sportdom is waiting eagerly to see what disposition the New York university is going to take in the protest of University of Georgia against the presence of Dave Myers, the star half-back of N.Y., in the game to be played November 9th at the Yankee Stadium. The Georgians claim that there is a "gentleman's agreement" between the universities that would preclude the playing of Myers in any game where the participants made a protest. That would be a ridiculous thing for the New York university to do. That would dispense with the playing of Myers entirely. The gentleman's (?) agreement may have been fostered in the South, and they are poor sportsmen. They even went so far in their unsportsmanship as to make no recognition of the conquest in the Olympic broad jump because a Negro had formerly held the record and the young southerner won from him. It would be a splendid play for clean sportsmanship if the New York University was to inform the gentleman?() from Georgia that it would be a poor piece of sportsmanship to bar Byers from the team without some sufficient cause and that they did not deem the matter of color a cause sufficient. Then if the University of Georgia wanted to forfeit, they would be looked upon as a bunch of flukes who were afraid to measure their football capacity with their rivals. PLAIN FACTS BY: DR. RUTH J. TEMPL2 Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 802 E. 22nl St., Phone, HU. 1119 or VA. 12211 THE CARE OF OUR BABIES THE CARE OF OUR BABIES Before beginning on our talk this week for the benefit of those who have asked questions I wish to state that your questions have not been ignored. I shall answer them each and every week. When this series of articles is concluded we shall devote a whole issue to queries and answers. To those who have questions in mind I urge that you write your questions, address the same to me and drop it in the mail in time to have it reach me before the next series of questions is answered. Building babies is the briest job that any race or any nation has before. What we put into our babies definitely gives them the opportunity of the next generation will be. Therefore, if we neglect to build beautiful homes, beautiful churches and own fine care, let us under no circumstances fail to build our children so that they will be physically fit and able to meet strong men and women the grave responsibilities of life. Last work we noted that the well babies first demand was that its father and mother build for themselves in their own childhood and adult life bodies that were sound and well. The baby is literally formed of the material taken out of the father's and mother's body. If their bodies are diseased or physically unfit it is obvious that that which is formed from a part of their bodies will in most cases be caused or physically All young men and all women should theroly weight and consider these things and they would many times realize that It Does Not Pay to Sow Wild Oats. 'SELECTING THE PARENTS OF YOUR BABY We have already printed out how you can select or determine in a large degree whether one of the parents of your baby will be strong and well in body and sound in mind and morals—that is by building those elements into your body and character. Now the baby must have another parent, and it is your grave responsibility to select it. How many mothers are outraged to see this or that trait in their little son and yet when they look up and consider, they find the identical trait in the man whom they selected to be their baby's father. On the other hand men are the same way, they look into their little daughters and see some unfortunate characteristic which makes their heart ache and he then looks up and consider and see that this identical fault is only too obvious in the woman whom he has sleected to be the mother of his baby. This proposition of getting married is not the simple thing that many young persons consider it. Looking at it from the viewpoint of posterity alone with it are bound up all of the factors which make for joy or sorrow in this life. No young woman who expects to have children of many persons who marry have them either to protect them or not; therefore would say that unless a young woman knows definitely from medical authority that she is sound, that for some reason no children can possibly result from her union with the man whom she contemplates—then in the absence of such positive assurance, she is in honor bound to let the voice of her unborn children have its full weight in determining her selection of a life partner. Girls are so simple, so easily fooled and young women who think intelligently and logically on other points so often fail entirely to bring that some logic to hear when they are declining this the all important subject of the choice of a husband. "MARRYING FOR LOVE" Should a girl marry for love? There is only one answer to this question in my mind, and that is YES in bold type. But when children are to follow as they usually do, the she should marry for love to her children as well as for love to her lover. In other words it is not fair in any sense of the word to "fall head and heels" in love with some one unit to be a child's father and then force this unit personage onto your child as his or her father. Your personal right to select your husband is valid only in so far as it does not infringe on the personal rights of another human being. Your unborn children are potential human beings and their rights as such should be soactually guarded by her who will become their mother. Looking at the job of selecting a father for your children from an entirely selfish standpoint there are many personal advantages to be seen. No heir quality which fits a man, to be a father units him to be a husband. On the contrary, the work best fitted to be a father is also best fitted physically and morally to be a husband. MARRYING THE PHYSICIAL "But what about the girl who "falls in love" with the "handsome" idol of society who is noted for his wild living and who is known by all of the doctors in the community to be a sufferer from both syphilis and gonorrhoea? ext week we shall discuss this vitally important question in detail. ROSCOE SIMMONS ANNOUNCES HE IS OUT TO BEAT DE HORSE PRIEST FOR CONGRESS Chicago, Oct. 29—By A.N.P.—The formal announcement by Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons this week that he was a candidate for Congress from the First Illinois District to succeed Oscar DePriest has stirred more than passing interest in the political world here. Simmons in a manifesto declared that he would have the support of Edward H. Wright, Assemblyman George Kersey, now and associate of DePriest as well as the Third Ward Club controlled by Mr. DePriest. "I am in the race for Congress," Simmons said in a statement to the press, "and I am in to stay from now until I take my seat." If that determination holos out and Mr. Simmons is able to muster anything in the way of finance and organization it may be expected that politics woff hold much lethargy in the Windy City this fall. DEPRIEST NOT WORRIED On the other hand, Congressman DePriest when interviewed by a representative of the Associated Negro Press, did not appear much perturbed by the dougherty colonel's challenge. "I have not the slightest objection to the entry of Simmons," said Mr. DePriest. "Under the constitution, any man who gets enough names signed to a petition can enter his name in the congressional race. If he can NEGRO PHILOSOPHY WHAT JESUS WOULD FIND BY: THE DEACON If the Blessed Jesus Should again condescend To return to the world For the salvation of men.

"FENCHING" OF NEGRO FOOTBALL PLAYER BY NEW YORK DENOUNCED BY N. A. A. C. P. New York, Oct. 21—Reports later confirmed that Dave Myers, colored football star of New York University would be "benedited" by Coach Meehan and not allowed to play in the game with University of Georgia because of the Southernners' race prejudice, brought sharp protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The N. A. A. C. P. pretended vigorously to Chancellor Eller Elsworth Brown of New York University, the letter being referred to Committee in charge of athletics. The N. A. A. C. P. urged that the New York University football team appear "intact" on the day set for the game, November 9, and place the burden of refusing to play because of race prejudice on the Georgia team. We were then asked by Coach "Gophil" Wehan of New York University that Myers would not be allowed to play, a "gentlemen's agreement" having been arrived at with Georgia. Thereupon the N. A. A. C. P. issued the following statement, widely published in the press: "Dave Myers would do well to resign from New York University's football team as a protest against Coach Meehan's cowardly capitulation to color prejudice. It is significant that New York University's surrender to the South occurs simultaneously with the announcement of the Carnegie Foundation that that university has been found a conspicuous sinner in the matter of commercialising athletics. "Color prejudice and commercialism often go together. As for the 'gentlemen's agreement' that is a misner. Gentlemen would not make such an agreement. Call it the muckers' agreement and you will be closer the mark." Sports writers on most of the New York Dallies have backed up the contentions of the N. A. A. C. P., notably Paul Gallico on the Daily News and Ed Sullivan of the Evening Graphic. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE "OLE VIRGINNY" BY: IDELL A. BATEMAN "Carry me back to Ole Virginia, Dah's whah de cotten, corn and sweet potatoes grow; Dah's whah de Lilts warble sweet in de springtime Dah' wha whit disole darkey's hont Coss long to so." 10 The scenic beauty of Cleveland-on-the-Lake, which becomes to mean the greater position of Cleveland, is a thing worthy of mention. One forgets the sordidness, of the portion allotted the unfortunate citizen, mostly of color, when circling Lake Erie on the side chosen as a reclusion by the wealthy of the city. Towering pines and spreading cedars form a bushwark, behind which mansions in brick and stone serve as further fortification against the forces of nature and man, leaving them alone among the abundance of things of life, its misery and joy. There is a stillness here. Hardly ever, one sees a human except a garden, maid or one of the other numerous servants that move and have their being mostly inside these ramarts supreme. Further out, away from the exuberance of riches, one travels the well kept streets, viewing the quaint brick homes of the modestly well to-do. Here there is more life, even the sunbeams seem more brightly content to shine, having greater opportunity away from thicket of trees.

In one of the main parks one Sunday evening an obliging business man, of many years travel through and about Cleveland obliged us with a view of the museum and the picturesqueness of its surroundings. He showed us the museum and then after pointing out other places in the distance, we again beheld a building like unto the museum. Then going further we saw this same building. Asking what it might be, he replied—That looks like the museum, but it can't be, we passed that long ago. Finally other landmarks became familiar, after circle about the place some ten times and we all had to suggest some means by which we might again reach the highway, so confusing was the layout of roads. At the intersection of one of the streets in Cleveland one must halt, then turn part way on a light, indicating which way he is going, after turning part way he halts for another color of light that allows him a full turn and then after halting for another signal he may proceed on his way. There is a noticeable absence of traffic officers or speed cops. Those signals would tame any dared-devil. YOUTHFUL VISITOR Los Angeles Junior Society, acquires new material. This time again, Louisiana, lends one of its charming daughters to California. Miss Mary Jane Thomas, is the charming niece, of Mrs. Mary Robinson, of 1338 E. 21st, who is visiting here for the purpose of completing her schooling in Los Angeles. She is at present enrolled at Poly High, as a Senior student. Her brother, Andrew Thomas, is quite prominently identified here with the Juniors. He was formerly president of the Lone Wolf Club. Miss Thomas attended the H. S. Department of Straight University, in New Orleans. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened The Ghostly Lovers of Cumberland Many and varied are the ghost tales one is likely to hear in many small towns and hamlets, throughout the world. Old timers point out the spots of interest, which are called "haunted" or "hauted," as some might say. Of particular interest is a ghost story told of a small town in Tennessee. Many have positively declared that almost any night no matter how inclement the weather, a man and woman may be seen standing at the intersection of one of the busiest streets of the town. Of course no one has had the courage to venture any nearer the spot than is absolutely necessary. This is probably due to the fact that there is always a peculiar reluctance to the supernatural. The story is as follows: When the little town, which we will call Cumberland for convenience, was in its infancy, a very eccentric old man, Julius Anderson, settled there. He had with him a retinue of servants, also a daughter and one son. The old man possessed a fierce, ungovernable temper, and very often he would go off into a rage, over a mere trifle. Woe betide the person who so unwittingly sent him into a tunitrum, if they did not immediately leave the scene of contention. He seemed passionately fond of his son, a youth of perhaps twenty summers, but took little or no notice of his beautiful seventeen year old daughter. Some said she was the very image of her mother, whose life he had completely ruined. He had married her for spite, she having once jilted him for a handsome never-dowell, from the city. The city man played at love for a time, with the fair little country maid, completely winning her heart with his courteous manners, and dashing ways. Then, when he had tired of his amourous love, he had left her with the pledge of his undying love, promising to come again soon and make her his bride. He never came again, although she waited in vain for him. Old Anderson was heart-broken by this act of his sweetheart's infidelity, but suffered in silence. However, seeing his former sweetheart drooping and pining, he determined to win her anew. Acting accordingly, he won her somewhat reluctant promise to be his wife, and they were soon married. Although still very much in love with Martha, for that was her name, he would not allow her to forget her former mistake, and seemed to take cruel delight in torturing her with the intention of her debonair sweetheart's infidelity. After her two children were born, she seemed to fade slowly, like a delicate flower, her happiest hours being spent with her babies. One day, when her little girl was but a few years old, she slept quietly away. Always beautiful, she seemed more beautiful in death. Old Anderson was stricken with sorrow, for despite his cruelty, he had truly loved his wife. Instead, however, of becoming repentant he seemed daily to grow more sullen and morose. Few people visited the Andersons, as the old man's disposition grew worse. One day there happened upon the scene, an obscure young lawyer, who having decided to practice law with lawyer Overtowne of Cumberland, had been sent to Old Anderson's on business. Lawyer Overtone who was growing old and could not see after his business affairs as well as usual was very glad to have the young man-as his partner. So it happened that young Oscar Gale waiting for old Anderson in the garden, looked up into the eyes of the most beautiful girl he had ever beheld. Seeing her stop in startled bewilderment, he quickly got to his feet, uttering an apology. "Oscar madam," he said, "if I am intruding, I will instantly be upon my way." "Oh no," she answered shyly, "you are the lawyer father was expecting, he will be displeased if you go." So saying, she sat down on the bench, though not too close to the young man. Overcoming their momentary embarrassment, they began to talk of commonplace events of the neighborhood. Dan, Cupid, meanwhile was working swiftly and surely with his deadly arrows, and very soon his work was accomplished. Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by an angry snort, and Old Anderson, his eyes blazing with wrath, stood before them. His voice, harsh and quivering with rage, brought the girl and young man hastily to their feet. "Why are you here, and not with in the house?" he bellowed to his shrinking daughter, "Never again let me catch you talking to that young unstart; go into the house this instant. Do you wish to bring shamie and dishonor upon me, as your mother did?" Dismayed and shocked by this angry trade of words, Miriam, for this was his daughter's name, fled into the house. "As for you," the old man continued, turning to the young man, "begone and never darken my door again." Hereafter I shall seek my legal advice at lawyer Overtone's office." But young love will not be denied, and seemingly delights in overcoming the most hazardous obstacles. Miriam and young, Gale contrived to meet in secret. "We cannot go on like this dear," said young Gale, on the occasion of one of these meetings. It is extremely dangerous to meet this way, without fear of detection. Will you not come away with me? We can be married at once and all will be well." "What if Papa finds out and overtakes us?" objected Miram. "Perhaps we had better mirror it over and lay our plans very carefully. Heaven only knows what he would do. If he found out about our meetings. He has never been fond of me, and he hates you terribly, because you are from the city." She shivered and drew her thin scarf more closely about her as if she had grown suddenly cold. Her lover seeing her somewhat wan faced, and great fearful eyes gazing into his, as though seeking protection from him drew her gently into his arms. "No matter what happens," he whispered with his lips against her hair, "even death cannot part us." Then, as before, old Anderson's voice startled them into stark reality. Terreor held them rooted to the spot, for he stood before them with a gleaming pistol in his hand. "You shall not escape me now, scum of the earth," he said to young Gale, "you will never have the chance to take your sleekly polished mannerisms and pretty niceties of speech, back to the city. And you," turning to face his trembling daughter, "because you have disobeyed me, you shall go with him to death." So saying, he deliberately shot them to death. A third shot rang out and he too fell prostate upon the ground. The pale light of the moon shone, serenely down upon the ghastly scene, her white beams casting a wierd, ghostly effect, upon the still figures so strangely silent below. The marble pallor of the girl's delicate features, and the handsome face of her lover, seemed gently carrressed by the moon's soft, glowing light. "Even death shall not part us," the pale lips would have said again if possible. John Steven McGroarty Addresses Pasadena N. A. A. C. P. BY: CARL ECHOLS Not even the gloomiest pessimist will deny that there are numerous indications obviously pointing to a gradual approach to Human Brotherhood. This time it is John Steven McGroatty addressing the Pasadena Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. at Friendship Baptist Church, Monday evening. A few of the interesting things said by Mr. McGroarty were: "I had no intention to speak of race prejudice tonight, but since the master of ceremonies broached the subject, I should like to express my views. . . I have never in all my life been prejudiced against any race. . . therefore, probably I do not deserve as much credit as the person who having once been prejudiced finally cast it aside. For example, men who have never felt fear in their lives do not deserve as much credit as do those who have risen above their fears and performed their duties in spite of them. . . Let the Negro as well as all races get an education. . . race hatred is due to misunderstanding; and since education is teaching us to understand each other it will consequently help destroy race hatred. . . The Negro should be proud of his race; there is not a race in the history of the world that has accomplished what the American Negro has in so short a time. . . Sometimes I wish I were a Negro. . . There is something about them that I have always loved—their generosity, their innate good nature, their loyalty. "Mr. McGroarty also pointed out ways in which political inefficiency could be ameliorated. He mentioned that the ideal statesman of the future will lighten the burdens of the people. Mr. John Steven McGroarty created A Shrine for Posterity A NATIONAL MEMORIAL BUILDING TO DEPICT AND PERPETUATE THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICA AND ITS ACHIEVEMENTS "The National Memorial Association is endeavoring to have erected in Washington, D. C., a beautiful Memorial building—a building suitable to depict and perpetuate the Negro's contributions to America and its achievements in the military service, in art, inventions, science, etc.—a fitting tribute which would serve as an educational center and to inspire the present and future generations to follow the example of those who have aided in the advancement of the Race and Nation. "General memorials do not make the average American think of Negroes. Therefore, the failure to erect a special memorial may and probably will be interpreted as meaning that Negroes have made no great contribution to American advancement in war or any other field. The city of Washington is studded with beautiful monuments commemorating the deeds and accomplishments of many individual groups, but among these cannot be found a monument to the deeds and achievements of the Negro Race. "Inasmuch as there is not a suitable building in the city of Washington where large conventions and public meetings can be held, or where the development of the Race along the lines of invention and art is exhibited, it would be a splendid idea if all this could find a place in a public building at Washington where it would reflect the greatest possible good throughout the country. "The indispensable part the Negro has played in America has been conspicuously overlooked. School histories carry no records of his valiant deeds either in time of war or in time of peace. It is not told how he hewed the forest and tilled the soil in helping to lay the foundation of the Nation's greatness, nor how he has invariably shouldered the musket, from the Revolutionary War for Independence to the World War for Democracy, and poured his blood in military defense of his country. Let us now have a great national memorial in perpetual testimony of his greatfulness of the country he has so unstantly served, and, in enduring commemoration of his loyalty, valor, and accomplishments. "Each city has its own building problem, of course, and it is natural that Washington, the city of magni IMMORTALITY OF DEATH BY CARL ECHOLS Death! When did it begin? When will it end? To the mere mechanist it is the final termination of organized things. To the metaphysician it is only transition. Whatever its status—it is, Death is a lord paramount. Death is immortal. To the tired, trouble-conquered soul, it is a boon. But to the ambition it is an untimely interferer of life's plans. Death has BEEN ever since life WAS. Is death life anew, or is life death transformed? ? Quien sabe? It death is omnipresent. It claims its toll wherever life is found—and where isn't life to be found? The frequency of death should breed familiarity with it. But does it? During the aeons of man's existence on earth he has suit to become used to this grim, mysterious phenomenon. Death is the great Silenor, a dead Death is the great humbler. No respect of person has this tyrant—arrogant and lowly, rich and poor are mowed down by this destroyer. scient architecture, should not be satisfied with any ordinary memorial building. A beautiful building should be erected, every part of which could be utilized to commemorate historic events in which the Negro has participated. "It is proposed to erect a majestic monument—not a monument in the accepted meaning of the term, but a monument in the form of a spacious and architectually beautiful building, to be devoted to educational and patriotic utilities, to national conventions and usages, and to be made the center of our racial activities. It is to be a national monument to the memory and eternal honor of a noble race, and to depict and perpetuate its contributions to the achievements of our great Republic. "The central feature of the edifice would be a large hall of fame, which would accommodate statues and tablets, art work, inventions, and other exhibits of historical and educational value. "Other important features of the building would be a large library, a department of research, a small assembly hall (seating about 500 persons) and a national auditorium of spacious dimensions (with a seating capacity of about 5,000 persons) thus affording in the Nation's Capital what our racial group now entirely lacks—a public meeting place of ample size with proper facilities. Here in the future would be held national conventions, conferences, ceremonies, celebrations, and public welfare functions. The assembly hall would be used for the smaller meetings of various military, patriotic, scientific, educational and like gatherings. It is the desire of the sponsors of this project that it will be possible to broadcast each Sunday afternoon, from the auditorium, religious and educational programs. "Such a building, hallowed by the passage of time and stored with the pictures and sculpture that will record the achievements of our Race from age to age, will become one of the meccas of stimulation to national duty and service. "To construct, equip, and maintain the building in a manner commensurate with the high ideals and brave deeds which it is to commemorate, it is estimated that from three million to four million dollars will be required." National Memorial Association, 925 R Street N. W., Washington. D. C. S. C SMITH, Secretary. Just Being White Does Not Make a Person Superior BY NANNIE H. BURROUGHS (For The Associated Zegar Press) On Saturday night, October 12, between seven and eight o'clock Station W. M. A. L. broadcast a program of music. In his introductory of a pianist who was going to play a Negro jazz number the announcer said that "The next selection will show the ideals and spirit of the old and of the new Negro—the spirit of the plantation darkey and the Harlem highbrow but no matter what he is, the Negro is still a Negro." What on earth did that man mean? "THE NEGRO IS STILL A NEGRO." Of course, he is, and so is the Anglo-Saxon, the Indian, and the Chinese. The Negro would be a monstrosity if he were born a Negro and turned Chinese or Anglo-Saxon. He can't be anything else, physically, because he is born of flesh and "that which is born of flesh is flesh"—remains the same kind of flesh. But man do not win in this world on flesh. Flesh is incidental spirit is all. That's why Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must he born again." As soon as any man of any race is born again—born of the spirit, he rises from the common level and becomes superior to all who live only in the flesh. The Negro wouldn't gain anything moral or spiritual by merely a physical change. He can make as much of himself, physically or mentally, as any other being if he works at it as long and as hard as any other human being works. Physically—in the flesh he will be as good-looking as any other human being when he has the money, concoctions, and the time to work on himself or by others, and by themselves. When he has been out of slavery over a thousand years—as long as the Anglo-Saxon has been out ALL STARS OUT TO MAKE ALL STARS OUT TO MAKE GIANTS TASTE DEFEAT ROYAL GIANTS MAKING GREATEST RECORD IN HISTORY OF WINTER LEAGUE Mustering all of his strength to make the Royal Giants taste defeat in their second series meeting on Saturday and Sunday at White Sox Park. Joe Pirrone of the Major League All Stars is bringing his clan out bent on making Lonnie Goodwin and his hand of warriors bite the dust. The All Stars will offer their strongest attach and the Royal Giants will offer just as strong a resistance. And there you have a battle. Pirrone has lost his last two Sunday games by a one run margin and believes that it is now time for the worm to turn. The Giants have been going "great guns" and claim that there is no way of stopping them, judging from the record of the last five games the Royal Giants are playing the greatest ball in the history of the park. The Giants have been to bat 187 times and made 62 hits and brought in a total of 47 runs, for a whole team batting average of 332. They have an average of 8 runs, 12 hits including 2 homers and 2 doubles each game. They have won all five games, made ten home runs, stole fifteen bases including home plate and just about broke every record of the park for this early in the season. And for the Pirrone Major League Stars to elect to make this bunch of battlers taste defeat means that they have selected a man size job. Last week manager Goodwin tested the metal of his new pitcher Charleston and found it to be just one of the best pieces, of material it has been his privilege to work with. Charleston applied the brakes to the Kelley Kars on last Saturday by letting them down with 6 hits and 1 lone run and kept most of the Karmen swinging like a gate. Brewer then polished them off on Sunday with 4 to 3 defeat which took ten innings to accomplish the job. The Karsmen were half of the fighting spirit. Cooper and Charleston are ready for duty this week with Brewer and the "Old Master" Rogan laying in reserve. Rogan has been warming up regular for the past two weeks and is now ready for active mound duty. All four pitchers are claimed to be in the best of condition are ready for duty to see to it that the All-Stars shall not taste any of victory's bacon. Be there and see a real base ball battle. CONVICT IS AGAIN A HERO Baton Rouge, La., Oct. 22—(By A.N.P.)—A trusty convict serving time for manslaughter frustrated a break for liberty at Angola penal farm by shooting down three leaders. Chester Collins of Rapides, serving as a guard, used his weapon with telling aim when three convicts broke from a line of 200 prisoners leaving the sugar cane fields as dusk was falling Tuesday. The three, shot in the legs, dropped just short of the cover afforded by the tall cane and other guards quickly marched the remaining prisoners into the camp. Collins, sentenced to eighteen to twenty years for manslaughter in1924, has already received credit on his long term for meritorious service in the flood crisis at Angola in 1927. Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 22—By A.N.P. County detectives late Thursday night raided an alleged disorderly house at 1621 Baltic Avenue, arrested three women and three men, the later held as material witnesses. Jimmy Black the fastest featherweight in the game today beat Pedro Villa in a ten-round main event at San Bernardino last Thursday night. Black took every round from the Mexican. Villa didn't land over two solid blows the whole fight. It's a wonder Jimmy didn't hang the K. Q. on the Mex. HAS MEXICAN'S NUMBER Duvall's little near champ seems to have all the Mexican boys' numbers that he fights. Filipinos too can make no headway with fast stepping little Jimmy. That left of Black's is the fastest tying outside of lightning I ever had the pleasure of seeing. In due time the kid should be on the top if the breaks come right for him. WON ALL FIGHTS Up to date Jimmy has won all of his bouts this year, he hasn't even come anywhere near being held even. The boy is worth plenty of money right now. WRIGHT COMING Chalky Wright, Jimmy's stablemate is coming along with leaps and bounds too. Wright is young in the game and has not been fighting as long as Jimmy, but sometimes he believes makes himself believe that he is good as Black. But way down the line he make up his black Black would murder. But that's a good sign anyway. The boy will beat lots of them if he thinks like that all the time. Chalky took Harry Barrare in the special event on the same card that Jimmy Beat Villa. BIG TIME NEXT WEEK San Berdoo steps up into big time next week, when Baby Sal Sorina the hard-hitting Mexican takes on Doc Snell, the Tacoma Druggist from Seattle in a ten-zound main spot. Sal has been going great guns lately and figures to take the Doc. Both of them are hitters, but I believe the Mex hits the hardest. Hess Elkins the matchmaker figures he will oywab about $200, with the prices scaled $1 to $3. That's good money for the sticks. Fernandez and Sparks Top Card (By DAN SHAW) This will seem like deaf and dumb week in boxing with Arc Hudkins and Mickey Walker, the natural gas tubs of Nebraska and New Jersey missing from the scene. Another specie is in evidence, Ward Sparks of Detroit, Mich., and Squatic Fernandez of the (Fillopinus)—two quiet boys who can fight better than they can gab, at Jack Dayle's House of Dreamland Drops. From strictly unreliable sources I have been informed that government secrets have discovered hollow in this boy Ward Sparks and will pay him well to inflate derigibles. It is said he has plenty of gas and when he hits a spark ignites and it is too bad. This boy Sparks is the goods, folks with wins over a classy field of notetakers such as Earl Maston, who just occulted Santiago Zorrilla and by-the-way, who fought Bud Taylor for Jack Dempsey, Nov. 13. Kid Frances who showed here also. — O'Dowd, Columbus, Ohio boy, Bud Taylor must have some kind of gas, Hey Now! Managed by Dave Landur, who knows fighters when this bird takes a fighter over the Great Divide, he must be some pumkins and Hollowen is just over the hills folks. Lot of stealing will be going on from now on. Watch this boy Sparks and see if he doesn't steal the show. The gallery gods of Jack Doyle's Olympic have been praying for such a match as Fernandez and Sparks can give. Fernandez is one of the greatest fighters ever sent from the way, way yonder islands. Al Singer, Tony Fielding and many others have gone by the way of the twinkle, twinkle, little star, potent right hand. We crave action, and action you will get. Next Tuesday evening Lake Erie's unnight waves will roll in and a Filipino Typhoon is in the making. Wind and waves are not so good—pretty tough I tell you! Why are They Down On Jimmy Black? Why are the San Berdon scribes down on Jimmy Black? The kid can't get a break on the papers up there A new Fighting Deacon is now in to be exact; a Sunday school teacher the fistic humalight. Twenty years old, from that little "way point" station called Hawthorn, Calif., hurled and copped a win over the highly touted fighter, George Barach, light heavy-weight from up and around Frize way; at Wrigley Field Tuesday evening on the Walker-Hudkins championship card. More action was provided in this fight than any other fight on the card says the main event. The battle was extremely close throughout for three rounds; the younger lad holding an edge. Beginning the fourth round he speeded up his big guns, showing the cash customers a brand of two-handed fighting that had the crowd in a wild rocking Barach head from one side to the other, dropping him to his knees in the fifth round with without a count. Barach finding, himself in distress, elected to 'box' island of trying to fight the youngster. Wally was never in danger, he took the best the Frisco yesterday could offer. Coming out for the sixth round, Frazer set a 'furious pace, and left a lasting impression with as critical gathering of fight fans as ever assembled in Los Angeles. Both boys. weighed 173 pounds. Musical Show Scheduled For Next Lincoln Offering Next Monday the Lafayette Players will present one of the biggest hits of New York's musical comedy stage in the form of "The Five O'Clock Girl" in which Mary Eaton and Oscar Shaw originally made one of the biggest hits of their careers. A fast moving story of the "Irene" type, "The Five O'Clock Girl" is expected to be one of the most favorably received offerings of the current season at the Lincoln and to this end Producer Robert Levy has assembled a brilliant cast of principals in addition to a large chorus of high brown beauties. The story deals with the love affair of one Patricia Brown, who begins as a little shop girl, and Gerry Brooks, wealthy young clubman. Pat acquires the habit of calling young Brooks on the telephone every evening at the hour of five and in that way comes by the sobriquet of "The Five O'Clock Girl." The development of their love affair with its many and comical interruptions, all of which are staged with a fine view to company situations, make this one of the season's most humorous musical shows while tunes have been written into the story with much abandon there being no less than eight of these which have proven to be big popular hits. "The Fife O'Clock Girl!" will have a very lively production, according to the Lincoln management, with special scenery and a gorgeous array of costumes being featured while the cast will be headed by Evelyn Preer, Andrew Bishop, Abbie Mitchell, Theresa Brooks, Lionel Mongas, Charles Olden, Laura Bowman, Billy Andrews, Ruget Marks, Barrington Cafter, Claude Collins and other favorites. der any conditions. The kid winger all of his fights, but still they razz him. I haven't seen the time yet they haven't had something to say that was a credit to the kid. He can fight and he can box, he has color, and everything else a good boy needs and still he can't get a break up there. The two scribbles on the morning and evening paper, no there will praise Chickie Herman a boy Jimmy beat here to there and give him the go around. Herman doesn't even rate in Black's class any more, still they give him columning upon columns. They give the black boy columns too but it is all slama. Wow! Wow! A Slama. MICKEY WALKER BEATS ACE HUDKINS TO RETAIN HIS MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP A Mickey Walker, the New Jersey bulldog is still the world's best mid-grave tightener, as a result of his nightbattle with Ace Hudkins, Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. The tow-headed kid from the corn field of Nebraska made a great effort to wrest the crown from the black early headed bishman, but all in vain. Hudkins put up a great battle as far as gameness is concerned. He took plenty and was boring in there all the time for more. Walker in First Jack Kearns and Mickey Walker were the first ones in the ring, but the last ones to arrive at the scene of battle. Walker took it just as another contest and was as unconcerned as they make them. He did not show up at the hall park until 9:20, thereby delaying the main event for several minutes. Ace and his brothers; Chick Lewis, and Joey Greenberg followed the toy bulldog into the squared circle. Mickey was all smiles and bowed to all his friends at ring side. He took it just as a matter of fact while Ace was seriousness itself and looked neither to the right or left. **Pictures Taken** The principals climbed into the ring and got set for the battery of picture men that had set up their cameras and were ready to go to it with flashers. Mickey and Ace posed in battle formation into the cameramen. Jack Kearns and Taddy Moyes were back on observation. Art Hudkins, Clyde Hudkins, Chick Lewis and Joey Greenberg posed with the Cat. **Hug Pin Brown** There was a striking contrast he- Peerless CABS MUtual 4141 tween the two men in color. The king pin in middleweight class was browned a pretty tan. His curly black, hair and heavy head made him look like a fighting man for sure. Hudkins was just the opposite. The Kitty came into this ring with a skin as white as milk, set off by a topshed head of blond hair about the color of the silks of corn, for which his state is famous. Go Right to It. A The boys didn't waste any time feeling each other out when rang for them to come out. As soon as the bell rang letting the two gladiators know it was time to do battle, Ace rushed across the ring to meet Mickey. He buried his head on Walker's chest and started to flame away with both hands. The champion shaped that soon though, when he started to bringing them up and began to catch the Cat with hard rights to the fisser. Peo Ace tried hard in the opening canto, but the chimp had the round by a big margin. When the battling Irishman took three in a row, things began to get unassay for the Hudkins supporters and they said wait till. Ace got started, but the Cat couldn't get started for taking them all on the ling and in the body. Referee Jack Kennedy painted to the Walker corner so much it got to 100 be a habit and he didn't have to break it once during the whole fight according to my way of thinking. Luckily, Seven Luckily seven almost proved lucky for the Ace Tuesday night—almost. The Nebraska kid started out in this round as if he meant something for a change. He started swinging at Mickey and connected with a couple of rights and left that had the Champion hunting, cover for a few seconds, but he snapped out of it to come back erle LINCOLN THEATRE CENTRAL AVE. 23 St. Humbert 7804 Curtis W. Carpentier, Manager WEEK STARTING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4th The Lafayette Players Present THE TUNEFUL LAUGHFUL DELIGHTFUL MUSICAL COMEDY THE 5 o'Clock GIRL Evelyn Preer, Andrew Bishop, Abbie Mitchell Lionel Monagas, Theresa Brooks Billy Andrews And The greatest cast of race artists in America HIGH BROWN BEAUTY CHORUS and MOSBY'S BLUE SYNCOPATORS and even the round. The only round I could give the Hudkins boy was the eighth. Mickey took six; Hudkins one and three were even. But don't forget, in losing, the Wildcat put up one of the gamest fights any man ever fought or would ever hope to fight. He was always pushing forward and begging the champ to trade with him, but all in vain. Mickey was fighting his fight Tuesday night and he took his time and won as he pleased. Good, Gate The scrap drew about 21,000 and a gate of 150,000 grand. No money according to Jack Kearns' trend of thought. He always could talk in box car numbers no matter where the location. Prelims Fair Joe Cordoza and Pat Cunningham tangled in the first bout for six rounds or less, but it went the distance, with Pat getting the duke. Wally Fraser took George Barach in another six round feature. In the six round semi-final Frank Campbell the hard hitting heavy from Frisco knocked out Ed Herting in the second. Campbell had Herting on the canvas in the first, but the bell saved him. FOX CARTHAY CIRCLE Will Rogers has a number of pet aversions. Two new ones came to public notice this week when Rogers unceremoniously fled the city by aeroplane and failed to attend the world premiere of his first talking picture, "They Had To See Paria" now the current attraction at the Fox Carthay Circle theatre. Rogers positively does not like radio announcers and masters of monies. In the course of his speech Will came right out and put masters of ceremonies and radio announcers at the head of his list of "things I don't like." Other aversions mentioned by Rogers in most disparaging terms were butlers, valets, congressman, Pasadena, DeMille balthrubs, salacious plays, chauffeurs, real estate agents, swimming pools, "Noah's Ark," upper berths, formal dinners at $10 a plate, mules, Mexican drinks and novelty shops. Robers greatest hero is Lindbergh. His friends say that Rogers never tires of talking about "The Lone Eagle." Incidentally aviation is Rogers' biggest hobby and diversion. Rogers likes to surround himself with young folks. He enters into their sports, games and conversations. In his first talking, laughing and singing picture, "They Had to See Paris," the six lovers who appear in the Paris and Oklahoma sequences are all under 25 years of age. In fact "They Had to See Paris" is primarily a story of youth and its love for adventures with Rogers trying to keep the love expressed on the tracks of convention and propriety.

UPTON 00 847 Central Avenue CONDITIONS CHANGE FOR THE WORSE WITH SOUTHERN PACIFIC RED CAPS Free labor is about to overrun the employment situation at the Southern Pacific depot. A recent survey of working conditions at this terminal made by the writer, proved far from finding conditions running smooth. Old timers who have been working at the station for years report that the policy of the new supervisor of red cap service, Mr. Sheffield, Dist. Baggage Agent, is taking on all comers, on a make -what-you-can salary basis, it has been rumored that anyone who applies for a red cap job is given application to fill out which particularly points out the fact that he is to receive no salary other than what he is able to pick up by hustling grips. Strangers who have heard exaggerating tales about the big money to be made at the depot, have willingly filled out these applications, and the result is that the place is overrun with red caps. Instead of improving the service, it has greatly impaired* it in many instances. New men with no training frequently make errors in handling -grips in their wild rush to run over each other for the lusty dime. When a train arrives there are more red caps to meet it as a rule, than there are passengers on the train. When the Lark came in last week, the writer counted fourteen red caps at one entrance. The new men have received instructions to make what they can, and all they can, and the biggest majority of them have assumed the attitude of "every tub!" If a passenger sets his bag down, it is just too bad, they have got it and gone before he can say yes or no. The injection of free labor among this body of men has brought on a situation that is little short of deplorable. Mr. Sheffield was given the job of improving the red cap service after the Station Master, Mr. Parker, had control of it for over a year, and failed to bring forth the improvement desired by the management. There seems to be no love lost between Mr. Parker and the Hon. Mr. Sheffield, and on one occasion they were forced to air their differences out in the superintendent's office. The red cap being the goat of all arguments is many times at a loss to know just who is his boss. For example, not long go one of the old timers accepted a passenger's baggage, and gave the passenger his identification check, which, of course, makes him personally responsible for the safe delivery of the passenger's bags. Along comes Mr. Parker and orders one of the free labor boys to take the baggage. The red cap who had issued the checks for the baggage refused to give it up, and he was within his rights in doing so, as he was working under the ruling of Mr. Sheffield, who is supposed to have full charge. This matter was later settled in the office with Sheffield's man winning out. But the whole thing is enough to create quite a little conflusion among the boys. Old timers claim that it is becoming more and more impossible each day to make a living, and even though they have complained, they keep on taking on porters who can no little more than get in each other's way. Where will it end? and how will it end? With travel on the decrease instead of increase, looks like some of the boys are going to have to hunt another job if they want to live instead of exist. COFFIN AND MURRAY VICTORS IN P. P. P. A ELECTION P. P. B. A ELECTION With the final election of the local P. P. B. A. brought to a close, the ballots counted showed the election of the following participants: L. A. Coffin, delegate to the Grand Lodge; R. J. Murray, chairman of Local No. 1; W. B. Holland, vice-chairman; Dan Wood, treasurer; A. F. Payne, secretary; Grievance Committee—G. M. Tymany; J. E. Spafford and J. Bell, Sr. HERMAN JACKSON KILLED BY TRAIN IN ROCK ISLAND YARDS, CHICAGO Herman Jackson, 2nd cook, operating on the "Golden State Limited" was instantly killed last week in the Rock Island yaros, when he went to cross the New York Central Railroad tracks which run parallel to the Rock Island tracks in Chicago. Jackson was struck by a New York Central main line train which came suddenly upon him without warning. He was buried from the Angelus Funeral Home. Friday, with many prominent railroad men in attendance. GOSSIP FROM THE APACHE My Southern Pacific operative informs me that Mr. Howard Finkston has married Miss Lottie May, a Chicago belle. The Railroad Clatter extends its congratulations. The arrows of Dan Cupid seem to be exceedingly busy now adays for it is being rumored about that A. Smith is engaged to a Mrs. Willis. We do not know how true it is although the nature is very strong. If it is not so it can easily be denied by Mr. Smith be dropping a card to Chas. L. Upton. 200 W. 9th street 100 When these Pasquale millionaire ride, they like to travel in style, and they also request the very last word in service. A party of these blue-blooded desired to take in the biggest sporting event of the year, the "Trojan-Stanford" football game, phoned the management to arrange a special train for their party. These distinguished gentlemen do things like that; just the same as you or I would do in ordering a taxicab. However, they made it very strong about a first class crew. The result was that the following experts were picked for the job: Cooks—Ernest Johnson, E. Daniels, A. Smith and Howard Pinkston; Waiters—Wm Wharton, Let Taylor, J. Freeman, J. Wheeler and Wm. Elbert. The cream of the S. P. What is claimed to be little short of a scandal, is the rumor that J. Wheeler is gone back to Indiana Harbor. J. Freeman surprised his crew by springing a brand new suit on them. Now the boys are all wondering how he can go it. DINER 10035 Dan Cupid is not sparing anybody with his trusty bow and arrow. While Mr. Arthur Love is not talking, every indication is pointing toward a little lady on East 36th street, and the date will be set for next month. East 36th street apparently is, Mr. Lowe's weakness. CLUB CAR PORTER CLAIMS MR LUSK NEVER FORGETS Keneral Callie Reed, one of the outstanding club car porters operating on the "Apache" claims the color of the hair makes no difference in the actions of the man. Mr. Reed's hair is snow white, but he certainly has young ideas. Mr. Lusk, says Reed, is more like an elephant than anything he knows for he still remembers about a little misunderstanding we had over a box of sardines in 1906. Mr. Maurice Willis has taken a solemn oath that from now on drinking is ancient his story with him, he is strictly dry. The crew on dinner 10036 has a new member in their midst by the name of Geo. Miller. Traveling chef Thomas Harrison has been working in the commissary kitchen during the past few days. For the benefit of the tired housewife who has found it an extreme hard matter to find something different to put on the table for her family, the writer of this column has arranged with Chef Cook McClain to publish each week a few suggestions as to what to prepare for the head of the house. The preparation of any dish mentioned in this column will be gladly explained by Mr. McClain if you phone Jefferson 6845. This week's hints are as follows: Chicken Gumbo, Louisiana Style, ripe olives, chaw chaw, strawberries coupes. Baked Barricuda a la Brettonne. Boiled Brisket of beef, horse radish sauce, chicken trisacre a la printiniere, Fresh mushroom Saute enruscade. Rulade of lamb alex cromeskie.

Send in the news of your crew and it will be published in this column, address all news to Chas. L. Upton, 2190 W. 30th St. SPECIAL TO BRING K C. EANS HERE Football again and this time it will be in Los Angeles. Already special trains for The California-Trojan game at the Coliseum Saturday are beginning to take shape. A Knights of Columbus special will carry several hundred members of California Council No. 880 and their friends south. A feature of the special will be a cancing cat and the presence of a jazz hand. A buffet supper will be served. The K. C. special will leave at 6:20 P. M., Friday. Nov. 1st from the ferry and will arrive in Los Angeles at 9 A. M. the morning of the game. Extra porters are getting a break at last. C. H. Levy and T. Davis had a special party of Warner Bros. to the football game last week. UNION PACIFIC WILL INAUG URATE STAGE LINE SUNDAY Inter-State Transit Lines, a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Railroad, will inaugurate a new transcontinental motor stage travel service with Los Angeles as the western terminus, Sunday. The main depot and ticket office has been established in Hotel Rosslyn, 5th and Main streets, from which point the first motor coach will leave Sunday at 8 A.M. The rout of the new line will be via Salt Lake, Denver, Omaha and Chicago, where connections with eastern lines will be arranged. A trunk line will run from Salt Lake to Spokane and Portland via Pocatello, Twin Falls and Boise. The writer was unable to find out whether the stages would be equipped with sleeping accommodations or not, but will investigate further into this phase of the report next week, and let HIGHLIGHTS OF SERVICE METTING Competition has become so keen for the traveling public's business between the airplane and busses that a high degree of service shall be expected from now on. Noise around sleepers at night after passengers have retired will not be tolerated. More effort should be made to return lost property to passengers before it is brought to office. Bring it to office only after every effort is made to return it before passenger leaves car. Wm. H. Bailey claims that the passengers walk off and leave their baggage intentionally. C. A. Glover rises to state that if you do not bring all the baggage out at Glendale, you sure do have to step on it. Mr. O. W. Snoddy says that's exactly what I want you to do. Step on it! A bad report was read about a porter in the north, Joe Holmes rises to remark that it couldn't have been a Los Angeles porter. Every effort will be made to take care of the extra men. BUF——What about the regular men? According to Hoyle, there is no such thing as CANT. One of the most pleasing things said at the meeting was the effort to get rid of the small step ladder that has always been a thorn in the porters' side. Let's hope they do away with it. From the little speech that Mr. Jones made at the meeting on service matters, I am still more convinced that he will be our next Pullman Porter Instructor. For awhile it looked like Eldridge, but since he has not taken as active a part in affairs as Jones, I am forced to cross him off the list. Mr. Jones spoke very plain in the meeting for a chairman of a Grievance Committee, and the fact that Mr. Coffin was contented to sit back and say nothing leads me to believe tat Jones has his stamp of approval: I predicted Jones some time ago. As tar as I am concerned, he's O. K.; fair and square. PULLMAN PILLOW SLIPS J. R. Woods, old Owl Man has at last worked up to the "Sunset Limited" and a free uniform. Police Officer Pettiford is still walking the beat that takes in the Santa Fe. Foster, in the Santa Fe yards has been eating mush for the past month or so. Dr. Harden took his molars away from him, and he claims it did not hurt a bit, but he will never cool me. T. Taft is still pining his heart away for his absent love, who is at Wilberforce. G. W. Bethea——Gone but not forgotten. Miss Eula Caldwell is making preparations for a trip to Denver, Colo., to visit her mother and father. When Daddy Jack is not riding around in his hot Essex, you will see him in his red roadster. He's tight like that. SANTA FE RED CAPS Sam Panky Back From Hospital Sam Panky, popular Santa Fe red cap is back on the job once more. after having, undergone a serious operation at the Santa Fe Hospital. Mr. Panky has fully recuperated and looks fit as a fiddle. Many passengers have made inquiries about Mr. Panky since he has been off as well as his numerous friends. The Railroad Clatter hopes that his good health shall continue. Frank Parr Plans Vacation Mr. Frank Parr, member of The Lion Tamer Club is making preparations for a much needed vacation. He has been cleaning his guns for the past week. Please do not be alarmed, he is not going to Chicago to join the gunmen, just duck hunting. It is his plan to shoot these fowls somewhere in the vicinity of San Diego with his friend, Mr. Lee Machimer, who is at the present time attending the Ryan School of Aviation in San Diego. We hope Mr. Machimer will not take the tamer in the air, for although he must be brave as a Lion to become a member of the Lion Tamer Club, we cannot vouch for his courage after he leaves the ground. We understand that Joe Daggett had a wedding at his house the other night for some friends from Texas, but he never did show up on the job with any of the cake. ```markdown ``` Speedy Harris, the smallest red cap at the Santa Fe, put James J. Corbett's bags on the train the other night. They looked like Mutt and Jeff coming down the platform. Normand Jones is all smiles now since they put him back on the "Chief." (Buddy Boy) Gradnison has been talking about making a trip to Chicago for the past month. If he does his first stop will be Evanston. Since Mrs. Livas is back home, Mr. Livas beats a hot trail on a bee line direct home when he gets through with his work. * * * Another strictly home product is All Day. Thomas Nash, former extra man at the S. D. depot has transferred to Los Angeles. They say that J. Hawkins is a rug beaten poor soul. Speedy Harris believes in playing safety first, so he has his wife come down and bring him home. Speed is not going to let any of these women steal him. Normand Steward is working on a new formula to kill snake bites. Frank Thompson started on the job with a corncob pipe, but it didn't take him long to work up to his good cigars. Why is little Brooks in such a big hurry when he gets off the job. THE RED CAPS' PRAYER Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray they let me work the "Chief." If I should die before I wake. Please Mr. Mendelsone give me a break. For the benefit of the Santa Fe Red Caps the California Eagle will be handled by the news boy in front of the depot. Give him a break—The Railroad Clatter. JUST BEING WHITE DOESN'T MAKE A PERSON SUBPRIOR he will have, at least as much of the VENEER of civilization and power to CONFORM to certain standards of the ethics and culture of the period in which he lives, as the Anglo-Saxon on now has. A man hasn't done anything for himself by simply coming into the world white and the only way he can prove his superiority is by becoming something mentally, and spiritually. In spite of the veneer, the Anglo-Saxon is still an Anglo-Saxon, and in spite of the veneer the Indian will always be a Indian, the Chinman, a Chinaman, and the Negro, a Negro, and they will not try to be anything else, physically, but millions of them can be equals morally, mentally, and spiritually, and with those three powers they will build great governments and promote great institutions. The Anglo-Saxon is the only race on earth that keeps up a complaint against men's color and penalizes them for being what God made them. The Anglo-Saxon is the only race that is trying to make white, and not right, the passport into the great world of unlimited opportunity. Men want opportunity; they don't give a straw about their color, because, after all, color is only a matter of taste. The Anglo-Saxon is the only race on the planet that is trying to prove that just being white makes a human being superior. What's the big idea when there is no truth in it. The inference in the statement "no matter what he is, the Negro is, still a Negro," is that it matters not now richly endured, how well educated, cultured, and useful to human society the Negro may become, he is still inferior to the Angelo-Saxon because he didn't "choose" to be born white. He infers that a white horse is superior to a black horse, regardless of the fact that the black horse won the race. Just being white makes even a white loot superior to a black Solomon. can't that mischievous "bunk" to send over the air? Thank God no sensible white person subscribes to it. The fallacious doctrine of the mature superiority of the Angelo-Saxon causes millions of ignorant whites to remain ignorant and not aspire to be anything better or do anything look down on or forment Negroes. They stay dumb, dirty, and devilish and glory in being just WHITE. Millions of whites have never even heard that there is a higher level of life than race and color. They have never even heard of that higher place of power and service to which men of all races and colors have climbed toward, by slow and difficult ways through ignorance, prejudice, and injustice, until they saw clearly the relationship and interdependence of man to man and race to race. It is only in this new spiritual and moral relationship and realm that men can become the power of God, in the transformation of human society, and God's instrument for the promotion of good will among men. To the ignorant white skin is all; sense and service are nothing. To them the richness, beauty, and power of the inner life are unknown and undesired; race is first. No matter what he is, the Angelo-Saxon who thinks than way is still an Angelo-Saxon, who will have to be born again before he can get sense enough to be of any lasting service to his race or to the world. Publish this fact everywhere, even! in the palaces of Ashlod, and in the land of Egypt, that no matter what he is, the Negro is still a Negro, the Angela-Saxon is still an Angela-Saxon, the Chinaman is still a Chinaman, the Indian is still an Indian, but when he is born again he becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus and gets sense enough to know that God is no respector of physics, and biologically the human race is the same. Until men get that much sense it is dangerous and wrong to give them a chance to advertise their own ignorance, broadcast insults and spread, insidiously, the doctrine of inate inferiority or superiority of races on the mere score of color. Men are not superior by the mere incident of having been born white. Broadcast that facts, the name of Truth. In this history of race prejudice and injustice they do have a superior chance, and it is therefore easier for white men to arrive, but life is not all chance. There is nothing so changeable as change and prejudice and injustice will be out of style a hundred years from now, and so will the white race if it insists on trying to repudiate the fact of the oneness of the human race, or continue to try to thwart God's plan to reunite the human race in the spiritual and moral bonas of brotherhood. No matter what our color, we are all children of God. No children of the same father are inately superior. Since we are all children of God, then all races are heirs of God and no one race is going to hog the earth and get away with it. WOMAN'S COMMUNITY CIVIC LEAGUE The Woman's Community Civic League held a special meeting at the residence of the President, Mrs. Hattie Baldwin, 1156 E. 27th St. Sunday afternoon at 3 P. M. The President, after welcoming those present stated that the object of the meeting was to arouse an interest in local, state and national affairs and to begin the study of such questions that particularly affected our group along those lines. The Secretary, Mrs. E. R. Reese, after the adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting read the League's fundamental program, which covered the subjects and duties that are usually handled by a Civic organization. She then read a very interesting paper dealing with the Amendments to the Constitution and a resume of history connected therewith. Mr. Wallace Clark of the Unity Finance Co. delivered the afternoon address. He was instructive and forceful in his talk and held his audience in rapt attention. His advice was a great inspiration to those who heard him. Among those present were: Mesdames Van C. Wilfiams, J. Dinsmore, W. T. Bell Ranssey, Nina Cannon, Miss Lucile Edwards; Messrs. Rev. M. F. Mitchell, J. Dinsmore, W. T. Bell, Van C. Williams, Fitzpatrick, Wm. McFarland, James M. Vena, Sr., and W. A. Clark. SHAW MISSION M. E. CHURCH Rev. Q. Sput. Pastor Sunday morning was Family Day. The pastor brought a wonderful message: suh!: As for Me and My House. We Will Serve the Lord. There was a good attendance and everyone was greatly benefitted. Mrs. Kate Daniels, one of the old charter members of the church gave very encouraging remarks on how glad she was to be back and do all she can for her church. Mrs. Daniels also was made director of the Choir and desires each member to do their part by being faithful in attendance. The Ladies Aid met at the home of Mrs. Sarah Holmes, 1513 E. 100th St. Thursday, Oct. 24th. Beginning their work new plans were made, each member expressed themselves giving the new president much encouragement. Mrs. Mary Session was a visitor. Refreshments were served by the hostess. ST.

A. the Southern California Alumni Association entertained with a reception for the members and their friends. Preceding the program, the officers for the coming year were installed by Mr. H. K. Watkins. After the program the guests adjourned to the dining rooms where delicious refreshments were served.

W. Davenport returned to this city, their home on Wednesday, October 16th. They made an extended trip throughout the Eastern States and into the Old Donunion State of Virginia. They made the entire trip by the automobile route in their trusty '27 Overland and as a consequence they took their time and made a real visit. Noted conditions and in a general way made a survey so as to compare the benefits of the West over the East or vica versa as the case might be. Leaving here May 30th, 1928, going East over the Lincoln Highway, touching Omaha, Chicago, Washington, D. C., Pittsburg, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, returning by Atlantic City, Richmond, CHURCH LEADERS ACT (Continued from Page One.) corded this place of entertainment by members of the Police Department and we have noticed that policemen enter the cafe each evening in squads of two, circulate about the place as if they owned it disturbing the peach and quiet of the patrons and in some cases forcing the guests to humiliate themselves by unjustified methods, and we believe we have just cause to complain, for it is not done in the dining rooms or dance halls of the Biltmore or Ambassadore Hotels nor in the Montmarte Cafe, and we feel ur place of entertainment is entitled to just as fai rtreatment. We hold no brief for any individual regardless of color, but when it comes to protecting members of our race who are a credit to the city in which they reside and who are making an honest effort to conduct an honorable business we feel we have just cause to protest. MR. MOSBY is NOT SELLING LIQUOR, nor does he allow it to be sold in any of his places of business, neither is he interested in financing anyone engaged in the sale or distribution of Liquor and we cannot understand why an honest, law-abiding citizen has not just as much right to sell his entertainment and his food as has the merchant to sell his clothing or his dry goods or his line of hardware. Does the Police Department of this city feel it necessary to walk into the Broadway Department Store or Bullocks and search each patron or into the lobbies of our principal hotels and trisk those sitting around? Yet we will venture the opinion that if such a procedure were undertaken more hip-pocketasks would be found on any given group of 500 individuals in these places than were found on the patrons of the Apex Nite Club. We, as citizens believe in you and feel sure it is only necessary to call your attention to injustices or this kind and that you will use your innocence and power to the end that competent officers will be placed in our section or the city who will give our people the consideration to which they are entitled. Thanking you for the consideration given us, we are, most respectfully yours.
