Washington who works in Hollywood sued the Ritz Market on Hollywood Avenue, for refusal to serve him on account of his color. The case was heard before Judge Lickely room 266 Court house on last Wednesday, after hearing quite a dozen witnesses the case was submitted, and Judge Lickley promptly gave judgement to Mr. Washington for 250.00 and assessed the costs to the Ritz Market.

Congressman DePriest Speaks Highly Of The Great Movietone "Hallelujah" Congressman DePriest Speaks Highly Of The Great Movietone "Hallelujah" The following wire to the Metro-Goldwyn Picture Corp. of Culver City, care of Polinsky is highly prized and appreciated by them. "Accept my congratulations on production of Hallelujah. You have opened up a new field of motion picture entertainment. The scenes are realistic music the best I have heard, photography and directing superb, and work of actors truly remarkable." OSCAR DePRIEST. King Vidor states that he had attempted to do what he had done for the "Doughboy" in the Big Parade, i.e. present a cross section of the feelings, emotions and drama of an entire race. He was elated that one who is the recognized leader and its chosen representative, should understand and appreciate the work he is trying to do. To the writer of these lines, not only Mr. DePriest's endorsement of "Hallelujah" but of other outstanding citizens, makes the pusillamous and maudlin backerings of isolated critics but thin vapor and certainly incapable of understanding and wholly lacking in appreciation, especially so does this apply to those who essay even the suggestion of supposed leadership for any group of people. Long live Hallelujah. King Vidor and his tribe. Man and Woman Struck By Unknown Assailant Atlantic City, N. J. Nov. 6—By A. N.P.—An unknown assailant attacked a man and woman while they were walking on North Pennsylvania Ave. Tuesday night. Martin Dorsey of 336 North Pennsylvania was struck with a sharp instrument, requiring five stitches at the Atlantic City Hospital to close the wounds. Elizabeth Mitchell, same address, was struck with a fist, neither could advance a reason for the attack. N. A. A. C. P. In Memorial Service Moorfield Story This Sunday On next Sunday the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. at its regular meeting at the A. M. E. Zion Church, corner of Pico and Paloma streets will hold a memorial service honoring the late president of the National Body—Moorfield Story. Aside from appropriate musical numbers, addresses upon the life and service of the departed leader will be made by the president, Dr. H. C. Huoson; past president, J. C. Banks and by Dr. J. A. Somerville. A 'full attendance is requested and no doubt will be on hand o honor and revere the memory of one of God's noblemen who was labored in season and out o rthe rights of all mankind. Police On With Their Program of Prejudice And Hate CITE CURTIS MOSBY BEFORE POLICE COMMISSION TUESDAY Let us hope the citation of Curtis Mosby before the Police Commission on Next Tuesday to show cause why his permit for dancing at the Apex Club should not be revoked, shall be the last of the "Mohicans." Truly let us hope it is a new day in Municipal politics and a new era is upon us and that we have a Police Commission which will act upon merit and not upon the cut and dried methods of gone by days. Let us truly hope those days have gone forever. Let us hope further that the Apex Club will be given a fair and square deal, and that it shall not be crucified to satisfy environs competitors nor to please political parasites, shysters and grafters. Let us hope due consideration be given to the 160 employees, who gain a livelihood working in the Apex Grill room, music house and professional talent, and that hate and petty prejudice shall not turn them on the Streets of our city in these strenuous times. Let us hope right on that real democracy shall ever prevail under our present City Administration and a man's color should be no bar, to law abiding, and respectful citizens, and they shall not be abridged nor interfaced with in plying their artistic talent at the behest of invisible forces in our body politic. In addition to all of this, our good white folk should be as proud of Curtis Mosby and his musical genius as we are ourselves. It has advertised Los Angeles and pleased hundreds of thousands of our visitors with melody and harmony. The greatest impressions of all time testify to his genius and he is often sought for and has never refused to do anything in his power to make Los Angeles great and grand. Then finally Honorable Police Commissions GIVE US A BREAK. In the new order of things let your law abiding fellow colored citizens have a say in the conduct of affairs in their very own section and do not allow, other groups to man-handle and quarter us. We shall never disappoint you and when lawlessness and debauchery is foist upon us, we shall be the first ones to call a halt—and to ask for your protection.* In war and in peace we are ever with you for law, order and a man's chance in the race of life. 200 Church Women Hold Conference New York, Nov. 6-By A.N.P.-A Significant gathering of more than 200 women, representing all the major Protestant denominations in New York City and the white and Negro groups in equal number, met in conference at the Marbel Collegiate Church Saturday. The meeting was sponsored by the Church Women's Committee of the Federal Council's Commission on Race Relations in cooperation with representatives from the local churches. The morning session was a consideration of "The Negro in New York." Eugene Knickle Jones, Secretary of the National Urban League, gave a background of Negro life in New York starting with the Negro infant whose chances for survival during the first year of life are only that of a white child. Mr. Jones pointed out the way in which racial discrimination surrounds practically the whole life of the Negro resident. In spite of these difficulties—educational, social and economic—New York City probably gives the New York Negro better opportunity than any other city in the United States, and Mr. Jones looks forward confidently to the time when racial discrimination will be a thing of the past. Further statements were made by Mrs. Alice B. Fairclough and Miss Floria Pinckney, who have had wide experience and study in the fields of domestic service, industry, business, and the professions. EAGLE ANNIVERSARY NUMBER UNIQUE PUBLICATION EAGLE ANNIVERSARY NUMBER UNIQUE PUBLICATION All efforts of the "Eagle Club" are now bent to make the Anniversary issue of 1929-30, the smartest and most unique ever published in the history of the California Eagle. As a result of constant study and discussion the club has finally adopted a plan which will doubtless receive a wealth of public approval and concern. The book will consist of about 400 pages. It will present a correct and accurate history of Negroes in Los Angeles County. Beginning with an illustrated story of the early struggles and advances of our pioneers, the achievements of the now existing group will be shown on their natural and proper foundation. The names and addresses of enterprises and prominent individuals; pictures of our own institutions, many of which distinguish the Race in the nation; one entire section devoted to the year's marriages; a bureau of vital statistics; and many other facts and portrayals touching every phase of our community life will be included to make the book a fact book, a complete Anniversary number. The Anniversary number will be a choice selection for the family book shelf, the library, living room, or for the office of the business and professional man. Reasonable co-operation being accorded solicitors and agents of the club. The Eagle Press will release the publication sometime in the latter part of January. THOMAS L. GRIFFITH, Jr., Chair. THOMAS L. GRAPHITH, JR., Chair EDNA GREEN SMITH, Secretary Apex Club Wins First Bout As Ruth Scott Found Not Guilty Judge Georgia Bullock's Court was the scene last Wednesday of the first case against the Apex Nite Club, as a result of the intensive campaign made by he polls to spread terror in that direction and finally to revoke its permit. Cossack methods, however, did not fare very well in this just Judges court and the conclusion of the evidence. Judge Bullock promptly dismissed the case and exonerated the defendant. The Scott girl was charged with being a look out. As a matter of fact she is one of the chorus girls, she was arrested by officer Granger during the raid, was taken to Newton Street Station, compelled to furnish bond and other humiliation she says not unlike the Cossack methods of old. Judge Bullock is to be congratulated for her just decision and where justice reigns it will be found there is no justificaton, for the Apex to be singled out for the insidious campaign being waged against it. Attorney Hugh Macbeth represented the defendant and forcibly brought out the anemus behind this persecution. The afternoon session was devoted to the topic "Christian Principles and Race Attitudes." Rev. Channing H. Tobias of the National Council, Young Men's Christian Association, in speaking of "The Basis of Adjustment of Racial Relationship" emphasized the necessity of proceeding on a factual rather than an emotional basis, and in the second place the need for moral courage to act on facts when they are found. Dr. George E. Haynes of the Federal Council's Commission on Race Relations spoke of some encouraging evidences of an awakened conscience on the part of church groups, and in a closing address Bishop Francis J. McConnell, President of the Federal Council of churches, emphasized the need for a foundation of respect as a basis for relationship between races. He said, "While the relative values of each race are different and each can bring a contribution to the sum total of values, there are absolute values that are the same for all mankind. The churches have not always taken the leadership in recognition of this fact." Mrs. Robert R. Penn, Chairman of the Conference Committee, presided at the morning session and Miss Caroline B. Chapin, Chairman of the Church Women's Committee of the Commission on Race Relations was in the chair during the afternoon. October Takes Toll MALCOLM H. PATTON Among those who answered the final roll call for October, 1929 was young Malcolm Harvey Patton, Jr., son of Mr. and Mus, Malcolm Harvey Patton, Sr., of 1106 E. Pico St. Young Patton who was a native son was born December 17, 1901 at Los Angeles, and at the time of his death Tuesday, October 29th, was twenty-seven years of age. Malcolm Patton was a 1920 graduate of the los Angeles High School and a 1922 Ph. G. graduate of the University of Southern California. Almost immediately after graduation from U. S. C., young Patton was called to a very responsible position with the wholesale and manufacturing department of the Owl Drug Co., which place he filled with high credit. While Mr. Patton's ability as a drummist was not wanting in any of its parts; his native ability was dramatic. Hence when the call, which had stimulated the ambition of his youth came again and again Malcolm could no longer resist, and those of the old settler who can think back about fifteen or so years were not surprised—for who could forget Juanita and "Mali." No high school program was replete without them, and church affairs able to secure their services as feature in song were highly complimented. THE LAFAYETTE PLAYERS But to those who fondly watched the career of Malcolm Patton realize, with a pane of sadness that not until a few months before his passing was he seen at his best when he became one of the Lafayette Players—and who will forget Malcolm Patton as John the Baptist as only he could impersonate such a character. With the Lafayette Players, Mr. Patton was easily a star for in voice, polite, he surpassed many of the older performers. The funeral services of Malcolm Harvey Patton, Jr., were held at the St. Phillips Episcopal Church by Rev. (Bv: A N P.) Chicago, Ill., Nov. 6.—The consolidation of New Orleans University and Flint-Goodridge Hospital and Nurse Training School, two Methodist institutions, with Straight College, a Congregational School, looking toward the establishment of one outstanding educational institution for Negroes in New Orleans, moved a step nearer completion when the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church gave its approval to the spirit of the negotiations carried on so far at a special meeting held in Chicago Friday. The Board expressed itself as willing to contribute as its share to the enterprise the money that may be realized from the sale of the two school properties under its jurisdiction but would not commit itself to any specified amount. The properties will bring about $500 it is estimated. Plans were approved for the securing of a charter for the school resulting from this merger and the election of trustees to carry the project forward. The American Missionary Society of the Congregational Church, the sponsors of Straight College, are to appoint six trustees. The Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, six, and five additional trustees are to be selected by the twelve. The expectation is that the plants of the present schools will be sold and an entirely new plant erected on a site yet to be selected. The merger has received encouragement from several of the educational foundations Daughter Elk Official Is Feted in Resort Atlantic City, N. J. Nov. 6—By A. N.P.—Mrs. Rachel Chaney, grand escort of the Daughter Elks and one of the leading club women at the shore, was honored with an elaborate banquet attenued by an overflow crowd of Elks and Daughter Elks at the Elks' home, on Arctic Avenue, on Thursday night. Mrs. Abbie M. Johnson of Philadelphia, recently elected grand-daughter ruler, was presented at the banquet and spoke in high terms of the local officers of the grand order. Mrs. Emma V. Kelly, the grand daughter secretary, were also presented as was Mrs. Maud Brooks, state ruler of the New Jersey district, and many other officials high in the order. The affair was the most brilliant since the convention of the order held in August. W T.

New Orleans Remedies Hospitalization Situation New Orleans, La., Nov. 6—By A.N.P.—The movement inaugurated by the Methodist People under the leadership of Bishop R. E. Jones for providing adequate hospital facilities to care for Negro patients in New Orleans is making pleasing progress. Perhaps the most gratifying feature so far manifested is the attitude and interest shown towards the movement by other than Methodist people. Bishop Jones who has for thirty years taken interest in everything booking to improvement of conditions for Negroes in this city, irrespective of denominational affiliations announced from the start that whole the greater Flint Goodridge Hospital is to be under the control of the Methodist Church even as the present hospita is its mission would be to serve the colored people in the largest possible way. That increased hospital facilities for Negroes is imperative was signally demonstrated by the illuminating talk made by Dr. Vidrene, superintendent of the Charity Hospital, at the big mass meeting Sunday. October 13, when more than five thousand people assembled to dedicate the site for the site for the new Flint Goodridge Hospital. He pointed out the woeful inadequacy of accommodations—general and technical—for the sick among colored people in New Orleans, and how Charity Hospital authorities had sought to ameliorate these conditions by acquiring two or three vacant buildings in close proximity to that institution and fitting them up as awards for Negroes. Sentiment as exhibited both in the speeches by the leaders and responses from the laureate crown which packed and jammed the huge tent that day was unanimously in favor of the erection of this new hospital. From hundred dollars of the Fifty thousand dollars which will be the cost of construction was subscribed by the Louisiana Conference to be paid in three coneal installments. Five thousand of the first to be paid in three equal installments. Five Thousand of the first payment was raised in the special drive conducted during August and September. Bishop Jones, general chairman of the campaign, is optimistic over the fine showing already made with respect to cash collected and interest created. Referring to the attitude of the public in relation to the movement, he stated that during his thirty oud years of active interest in the general civic and social welfare of the people of this city, he has never seen a finer spirit manifested by either colored or white citizens towards any undertaking. "The success of the movement is doubly assured with all elements so completely favoring it." He asserted: "and we ought to be particularly grateful for the enthusiastic, earnest support being accorded the project by the controlling forces of the city," the Bishop commented. The first member of our group to go on trial as a result of indictments by the present grand jury against a dozen or more police officers is Officer Arhur McChanahan, whose trial is scheduled to take place next Thursday in department 25 of the Superior Court. This particular officer, goes to trial with the very best wishes and confidence in his integrity by 99 per cent of all who know him. They look forward in expectancy that he will explain away every coruscance pointing to his guilt and be acquitted. With a residence here of many years standing, no suspicion of wrong has ever come his way and these are none who would not testify to his reputation as above reproach as a law-abiding and worthwhile citizen. TUESDAY AFTERNOON one of the city's leading evening papers sent forth an "Extra" inviting the public to read about the colored kidnappers. The story read that two colored youths, in an automobile, had lured June Cole, 6. of 285-B East 45th street and Betty Frost, 6, with candy, into their automobile and had gone on a kidnapping jaunt. It appears that the kidnapping story was the result of the mild imagings of another little girl of the same neighborhood, who had listened to the fireside stories of the people of the East 45th Street community, plan how to drive Negro home owners out of that section—and it seemed that the little inventor's story was going big; to the extent that word of the kidnapping was flashed to the Sheriff's office and chief criminal deputy, Frank DeWar, took steps to throw the forces of his office into the search. When the kidnapping turned out to be a farce, the paper that announced it in an "Extra" with glaring headlines, floundered about for even the weakest straw on which to draw in an effort to vindicate its rash and hasty action. THE NEGRO group has paid less attention to the support of the press than any other face institution, and yet the press is the greatest instrument of defense that it has at its command. When this evening paper came out with a false story of a kidnapping, the Negro press should be able to follow up such a story with the true facts in the case, which was nothing more than a bit of false propaganda intended to help carry out a program of ridding a certain neighborhood of its law-abiding Negro residents. At this crucial moment when the Political Pot begins to boil, let the Negroes of California get their heads clear on certain political issues, remembering always that whatever the issue may be, unless it speaks for justice and fair play for all citizens alike, regardless by which party it is backed, it is not a matter over which Negroes should part ways. We realize however, that petty politics is not only disturbing the peace of the Negro, but likewise the peace of the world—Let France keep her foot in the Rhineland; Let England talk peace while havoc reigns; and let Germany open her gates and say even to the Black Man: "Come in and be at peace, freely shalt thou partake of all my store as I take of His who buildeth over all our tents the glorious roof of night and day and at whose door one never yet heard nay." But let the Negroes of the United States which represents the largest Black civilized population in the world, rise up on masse against race hatred one towards the other, petty religious, social and political jealousies—push them back into the grave, and start out on a new day's journey where abounds peace and plenty. BESSIE COLEMAN Aero Club飞-ers write Mrs. Hancock, who furnished not only cash, but courage, which she injected into their hope for a successful flight that, according to her admonition, they had discovered something and that something is, that in spite of the fact that they had spent four hungry days on a Mexican desert, they were ready and willing to continue their flight and make history for Black America. SAID THE. FLYERS. "We were held in Mexico incommunicado, and our suffering was great, but our experience greater, for we have come out of this experience with a determination to fly into as many of the larger Southern cities that we may reach, and inspire the young people of our group with a desire to fly." MRS HANCOCK, who is the mother of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Jr., without making any fuss about it, has furnished much of the cash and most of the encouragement that started these young men on their continental flight, which also lead them to Mexico. Young Powell and his companion are the first Aframericans to attempt such a flight, and it is hoped that many will follow their example. THURSDAY.

DORSEY (Continued from Last Issue) Los Angeles in its present state is still growing infant whose future expansion largely depends upon the additional acquisition of water and power facilities to its already well developed system. As stated up to recent times the present system has adquately supplied her wants but her continued rapid growth has begun to create a chortage especially that of water now seriously felt which threatens to hamper its progress and growth. So short has water become for industrial purposes that the Standard Oil Company has recently sought permission of the City Council to erect its refining plant at El Segundo, a building equipped for the purpose of chemically purifying for industrial use, the waste water which now flows through the city's sewer system and empties itself several miles in the ocean, there to be naturally purified and become a part of the great Pacific; but in the course of its purification it is unsalvable, consequently millions of gallons daily go to waste. With this and other interests at work seeking to develop increased water and power facilities, the question of constructing and acqueduct from the Colorado River is at present being seriously considered as well as an additional supply of electric energy sought. The undertaking in itself is a gigantic one, involving millions but it is feasible providing the City is able to get over a bond issue, the money of which will be used to construct an acqueduct some 350 miles in length, dependent on the route selected. Likewise the amount of power needed for pumping the Colorado River acqueduct water depends on the route taken. Los Angeles City, that includes the Edison interest has been allotted 25 per cent of the electrical energy to be developed at Boulder Dam and 50 per cent of this amount will be municipally controlled. Opposition from within is constantly developing which is tending to stir up public sentiment by private interest with selfish motives against municipal ownership of public utilities in general and interfering with the construction of the proposed Colorado project in particular. The Southern California Edison Company several years ago, visualizing the expansion and growth of Los Angeles, set about to defeat any and all bond issues that had to do with power development by seeking to hoggie and neutralize the city's voting strength by offering each voter a limited amount of purchasable stock at 8 per cent. The purpose of limiting the amount was to get its stock into as many hands as possible. The favorable interest rates offered was If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened SIDNEY P. DONES announces that the Naomi Apartments, Corner 20th Street and Naomi Avenue, will be ready for tenants in two weeks.

This will be a Twenty Apartment Building, Mr. Dones states that there are over Three Million Dollars available for building on the East side.

Russell is General Foreman. to make the voter buy, and to date there are some 45,000 voters holding stock in a privately owned power concern paying them earned dividends out of a supplus derived from charging higher power rates. These voters or stock owners are lost to the city and are thereby assisting private interests to defeat municipal ownership through which channel Los Angeles has greatly benefited and expanded. To this sort of propaganda is to be charged the defeat of the recent bond issues, a condition that must in some way be rectified if the growth and future development of the City is not to be hampered or injured. Bonds passed upon by directors of private corporations take a different course and have an advantage that municipal bonds do not enjoy. Private bonds may be voted by the Board of Directors and immediately offered the public following sanctioning by the State consumer. City bonds must receive a two-thirds majority of votes before passing. In the matter pertaining to the Colorado River Project, involving water rights the record of the Owens Valley Project proves that this is unreasonable and an election should in reality be conducted on a basis of a straight majority vote. The California Legislature recently approved a bill permitting the formation of a Metropolitan water district for the purpose of financing and developing this project. This district includes cities adjacent to Los Angeles confronted with water and power problems similar to those confronting Los Angeles.

The fellow who hasn't any. And if you thought of him did you think while thinking of him, how nice it would be to spend a bit of human kindness, automobile charity, and ask him, her or them as the case might be to join you on a little fresh air sight seeing trip around anna about no where in particular but just ride. Seems like most everyone who has an auto always asks the one who also owns one, instead of the one who has not one. Well anyway thats your business but the thought we started out to convey was try and think occasionally now and then of the old lady or man, or the poor family with children and ask them if they wouldn't like to take a little ride with you around and about. You'll really get a rich kick out of is just hearing them joyfully express their feelings and emotions at the sights and wonders which greet their eyes whose vision is unfortunately limited by their circumstances. Several of our leading restaurants about town are complaining about business falling off since Saturday. The truth of the matter is that so many loyal citizens bet so heavy on U. S. C. in the big game that they are forced through pocket book pride to eat elsewhere or order "Coffee an" instead of chicken and stakes. Well its only temporary. Don't get scared and sell out. --- In New York the thing that makes a policeman eligible for the rank of Captain is ability. Here in Los Angeles why ones complexion has also to be considered said old man Truth the other day to A Liar. The little "Certified Public Accountant" is seldom attached to our group but we see where a young man by the name of Brattan displayed so much ability in motoring through an examination recently that the State was forced to recognize and honor him. Sinister political influences have decreed that the Apex Nite Club must go. But why the Apex. A blind man with both eyes out of their sockets and locked up in a dungon can see that the Apex, admitting it has its faults is one of the best regulated clubs of its kind in the city. But that doesn't count. The present management seems to be in somebody's way, so in order to clear the way they have started a persistent crusade in the name of civic cleaness. To this we have no objection if only those in charge would distribute their efforts more evenly and occasionally visit Washington Bulevard resorts instead of concentrating their efforts and energies by confining their activities to an attempt to humalate the clubs customers by arresting them. We regret very much the passing of Ellis Cook on last Monday afternoon at his home on Glassell Street. A fine type of father and husband well met well liked by a large circle of friends. His passing is deeply sad sincerely told by all. The fact that he served one firm 20 years speaks of his steadiness, and in memory of his usefulness we sound taps and this column stands along with its readers adjourned till next week. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIP ORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Riverside News Mrs. W. G. William Rev. S. H. Goodwin, Baptist Minister, preached a soul stirring sermon at the A. M. E. Church last Sunday evening. The Allen Christian Endeavor League of the A. M. E. Church is growing wonderful. The young people are showing much interest under their President Mr. C. Murray.

El Centro News At the regular meeting of the Southwest Business League, the following officers were elected and later installed: J. R. Collins, Imperial, Pres; J. J. Hill, Brawley, First Vice-Pres; R. J. Burleigh, El Centro, Second Vice-Pres; Charles E. Collier, Calexico, Third Vice-Pres; J. A. Haughton Calipatria, Fourth Vice-Pres; W. A Payne, Secretary; C. E. Collins, Asst. Seeg; Edward Owens, Treasurer; Rey. J. Q. Maples, Chaplain; Felix Gray, Sergeant-at-arms. At the next meeting the president will appoint the following very important committees: Commercial, Civic, Industrial, Educational, Social. The plans as outlined are far reaching and it is felt that this will be a great Board of Trade for our group in this section of the country. Among the resolution adopted at the last meeting was one introduced by the Rev. C. H. Hampton that the league become a part of the National Business League. The New. East Side High School is nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy sometime during the week. Principal Payne and the faculty are arranging an appropriate program commemorating the occupancy of the school. Invitations are being extended to the alumni, former students, and friends of the institution. Among the persons here attending U. S. C.-U. C. football game were the Misses Gladys Gier, Emily Roberson, Clothilde Curry, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Prince, Mrs. Ruth Johnson, A. E. Esther Griffith. All are graduates of one or the other of the schools and the rooting spirit was rife. Mrs. Z. Otey Smith of Tulare, President of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs visited El Centro Monday and Tuesday of the past week. While here she was the guest of Mrs. R. J. Burleigh of 321 Holt Street. Monday evening she addressed a meeting of citizens at the East Side Community Club House. This house is a splendid center, the contribution of The Women's Civic Club to the community. Following the program which included welcome addresses, musical numbers and the address of Mrs. Smith a public reception was tendered in her honor. Tuesday morning she visited the public schools, inspecting the entire plant. The pupils of the seventh and eight grades rendered an impromptu musical program in her honor. Following which she talked inspiratively to the children. During the afternoon she held a conference with the Girl Reserves, this conference taking place in the Community Club House. Tuesday evening she was the guest of the citizens of Imperial. She left Wednesday for Santa Barbara carrying with her the best wishes of the Community. A. J. Jordan, president of the Jordan Hat Corporation was in the city last week conferring with the new stockholders concerning the program of expansion of the organization. He went from here to Yuma for a similar visit. Rev. C. H. Hampton, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, attended the quarterly meeting of the Executive Board of the Western Baptist Association. Rev. R. B. Edmonds formerly pastor of the local C. M. E. Church has been assigned to the church in El Paso, Texas. Rev. W. D. Butler, formerly presiding elder of the district, has been assigned to the church here. His appointment is a popular one. He has been a frequent visitor here and is very much admired. On all sides are noticed a scarcity of labor in this section. There is an abundance of work and good wages are paid. It is feared that if those of our group do not take advantage of the present conditions the opportunities will pass to others. Mr. and Mrs. V. Johnson of San Diego were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Will Thomas of Orange Avenue. The Imperial-Palo Verde Valley Association held its first quarterly meeting with the Second Baptist Church last Saturday and Sunday. Rev. W. A. Jones, Missionary Evangelist and Dr. W. R. Carter, General Missionary were in attendance and contributing much to the success of the meeting. There was a large delegation from the churches of the district. The next session will be held in Brawley in the month of January. Children's Corner WILL THE FRUIT FLY RETURN By: JAMES COTTON The Mediterranean Fruit Fly left Florida and went to Georgia.

Omaha, Nebr., Oct. 22.—Jack Bird, the man who is serving thirty-years for an alleged attack on a white man because the wife of the man who was also attacked, declared, "Before God and man, Jack Bird is the man," will not be tried for the ax murderers with which he was charged, according to an announcement made Tuesday. Bird was arrested here last November and charged with murdering three people with a hatchet and attacking Howard Strikling and his wife. When brought to trial on the attack charge, Bird declared that when the attack was made upon Striklings he was shooting crap with a group of acquaintances. Twenty of these testified in his behalf and his landlady so declared that his statement concerning his whereabouts was true. But, because Mrs. Striklings stated that "Before God and man, Jack Bird is the man," the jury returned a verdict of guilty and Bird was sentenced to thirty years in the penitentiary and was to be tried later for murder and attack upon Mrs. Striklings. The announcement that he would not be tried in connection with the other charges came simultaneously with the announcement that Mrs. Alec Grigor, widow of a prominent Cleveland banker, had settled her suit for $50,000 against the railroad company for the death of her son and charges of murder against Conrad Barth, in connection with the killing of the youth had been dropped. This report set tongues wagging again. Bird was with young Grigor when he was pushed from the train and it was his testimony that indicted Barth. At the time of his trial it was reported that influences were being exerted to have him sent to prison and the fact that the description of her assailant, as given by Mrs. Striblings did not tally with Bird's appearance, strengthened this belief.

We read good books with the hope that we may have clean minds. Science says it is possible to extend the span of man's life and that such may be brought about by proper mental, spiritual and physical development— "Keep the house where God may dwell beautiful, entire and clean." There is nothing so important in the life of a child as the right start in physical development. If the little one is strong of limb and supple in muscle as a rule he or she is termed a beautiful child. If you would start your child right in the way of proper physical development send him or her to Louise Beverly's Classical Dancing School at 1449 E. Washington St. Mrs. Beverly studied at the Denishawn School of Dancing, at one time Los Angeles' most popular dancing academy and at other schools of equal rank.

Collins, Jr., who departed this life Sunday, November 3rd at the General Hospital. Little John was the 19-months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Collins of 3704 Morgan Ave., and a very likeable baby.

VANDALS PUNCTURE TIRES OE SCORE OE CARS The impression of Los Angeles hospitality by many visitors from the north who made the journey south especially to attend the big football game last Saturday aftermop, November 2nd, was given a decided jolt. Saturday evening after the wonderful "Prom" given by the Alpha's at the Masonic Temple, by perceiving that a score or more automobiles had to be "decorated" for punctured tires, evidently the work of vindictive persons. It was indicted a strange sight to see many "tuxed-ol" young men, with sleeves rolled up, busily engaged in repairing their tires, some of whom were unlucky enough to have four or five tires to repair. Needless to say, many visitors were among the victims. Along the "Avenue" the few all-night garages were doing a booming business. If it hadn't been so tragic, it would have seemed very funny to observe twelve to fifteen automobiles, some on East 50th, and some on Central Avenue, with their gaily gag passengers, awaiting a call from some garage, or having the repair work done by the owner. Newton Street Station should look into a situation which has become rapidly worse. Cases of stolen gasoline and punctured tires have been known in the vicinity of the Lincoln Theater and the LaVada Apartments, and now one more section is to be added.

Many useful gifts were received by the small host, who certainly enjoyed himself entertaining his friends. Very delicious refreshments were served.

A group of members from Benjamin J. Bowie Post will meet at Post headquarters on Wednesday night at 8:00 P. M. and proceed enmuse to the aircraft show under the command of Clarence Brooks, who is a member of the county aircraft committee. THE RENNAISSANCE The name of the new hall is the "Rennaisance," after the famous hall by that name located in New York City. Mr. Ellis on a visit to New York on his vacation this year, visited the Rennaisance Ball Room and was so carried away with its magnificence and splendor, that he then and there decided to wend his way home and do his utmost to gupicate on the Western Shores what he witnessed on the Eastern. Arriving home he immediately set about the task and associated with himself Mr. George Thompson, one of our very splendid young contractors, they procured the lease at Vernon and Central, and had a brand new bird's eye maple floor laid, and invested several thousands of dollars on the interior, in furnishings, draperies, putting in a modernly equipped kitchen and the most wonderful mezzanine floor in the city. In spirit and in fact the "Rennaisance" looms as the stellar dancing academy of the far West. To The Negroes of the District of Twelfth and Central: I feel that it is my duty to appeal to you for the business interest of our race. It has been said that we have no racial business interest toward each other but I doubt it very much for every weak nation wants to see his race prosper. Los Angeles even thinks we are trying to make this street of interest for our own race like the Japanese have built up East First street for their own people. And my dear friends the same rule and method on East First street will work well for us on Central avenue. They say we are great imitators; let us imitate everything that is good. Let us imitate them in building on the Avenue, business for our own like other races are doing so Los Angeles can say we are taking notice like other races. An appeal. By: F. W.

H. Rozier D. D. Pastor The Glorious Promise was the theme of Dr. Roziers sermon Sunday morning. That simple up lifting message that is so characteristic of Dr. Rozier was full of inspiration causing us to stay daily to walk in the path of right. Preceeding the sermon six children, who had accepted Christ as their personal saviour were buried with him by Baptism. We rejoiced to see young useful lines added to the church. The membership and friends are rejoicing over newly installed pews which adds beauty as well as comfort to the church. Rev. Rozier will be leaving Tuesday, November 12th for the East. Come and hear his message Sunday, you will be blessed if you come. A free dinner is served each Sunday after the morning services all are invited to worship with us. LOOK! READ THIS! The young people of Tabernacle Baptist church called (The Heralds) are about ready to present to the public a soul-swirting three act drama, subject, "Miss Nobody" played by 30 talented characters. Come and see "Miss Nobody" as she bravely walks from a home of luxury, good times to live a simple Christian life. Come see how the other aristocratic damselfly gives up her wealth on her deathbed to become a Christian. Don't fail to see and hear these brilliant characters.

The discourse proved to be very interesting, the heares, as many expressed themselves as having enjoyed the sermon. Rev. S. E. Edwards preached at the evening service and conducted an Evangelistic service, which was greatly enjoyed by all. The choir rendered special music. There was a number of visitors at the services. Next Sunday the Pastor will preach at both services. The next big affair in the church program will be the Banquet which will be given on next Thursday night. Nov. 14. About three hundred are expected to attend. The Banquet will be given under the auspices of the several Ladies Auxiliaries of the church. The Auxiliaries are vying with each other to see which can have the largest number at their table. A musical program will be rendered. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. P. Ramser. Pastor Services at the Friendship Baptist church were splendid and well attended Sunday, Nov. 3. The regular congent meeting was held in the morning. The gospel message was delivered by the pastor in the evening and the Lord's Supper was served. The Board Meeting of the Union District Association was held at the church Oct. 30—Nov. 3 inclusive. The Board meeting was held at the church in the afternoon on Sunday. The Sunday School of the Friendship Baptist Church was highly honored to have the offering banner for another three months. They are only hoping that someone else will be lucky enough to win the banner at the next setting. The choir is having their annual recital on the 21st of this month. Tickets are being sold by many of the choir members. Please see some of them and get your ticket for this great recital. Come out and worship with us next Sunday.

OLLIE ANN ROBINSON Mrs. Robinson is known from Chicago to California as being one of the race's most gifted dramatic readers. As artistic talent so often does, this elocutionary ability expressed itself in early childhood; so pronounced was its manifestation, that little Ollie Ann was placed under the tutelage of the best instructors procurable. Time has only served to add to maturity of the naturally mature artistry of this woman. We emphasize woman, for Mrs. Ollie Ann Robinson is the developed artist of her girlhood dreams. Mrs. Robinson has studied in Chicago and elsewhere; notably among her instructors were the late Kate Floyd and Fannie Hall Clent. Desired of still more polish, she attended the Chicago Musical College (receiving the teacher's certificate) and took extension work in French, and today she herself is connected with the faculty of the Cleridge Taylor School of Music in Chicago. Mrs. Robinson's accomplishments are too numerous to be mentioned here; however, we must pause long enough to say that her joint Bryant-Robinson recital at Olivet Baptist church brought forth the highest praise from Chicago's news critics, and was the final clamp that has fastened her heart to the hearts of the people. Seeking a change, as a relaxation, Mrs. Robinson moved to Pasadena, and hardly had she settled here before she was obliged to appear in public. There is hardly a week without bring in its wake a request for this talented lady's appearance—in private or public. Such are a tew of the high spots in the career that began in childhood days in Boonville, Indiana; was nurtured in the east, and is seeking rest and inspiration in the west. Mrs. Ollie Ann Robinson, with her family, has taken up her abode at 47 W. Clearmont street. For the past two years she has sought a change in the business world; but once an artist always an artist, and just how soon this artist answers the clarion call back to the spotlight waits to be seen. Sunday evening at the First A. M. E. Church the choir presented Mr. Tilman Farice in a Grand Sacred Recital. The Recital was one of the outstanding successes of the season. It is useless to comment on the singing of Mr. Farice; suffice it to say that the listeners were captivated as usual by the rich sonorous organ-like tones of this bass-baritone. CLUBS The musical and diamond contest came to a brilliant close in the classy program rendered by club No. 11 at Friendship Baptist Church, Thursday evening, Oct. 17. This novel and interesting program was due to the hard and efficient labor of Mrs Lavanta Parrish. Mrs. Parrish sigured no effort in furnishing pleasing entertainment Thursday evening hence: Madam Cille Ann Robinson in a one act play, Madam Lauretta Butler, of Los Angeles, and her ensemble of girl singers appeared in many novel features. The program was as follows: (1) Solo Mrs. Blowen (4) Mrs. W. D. Carter presents Mrs. Butler and singers. (5) Selection—Butler singers, Mrs. Butler, accompanying them. (6) Selection Orchestra (7) One Act Play By Mesdames; Ollie Ann Robinson, Eva Fisher and Roberta Heard. (8) Selection Butler Singers (9) Selection Orchestra (10) Solo Mrs. Sharnet Floyd (11) Silver Offering (11) Silver Guesting (12) Remarks by Dr. Carter Mrs. Dovey R. Jackson was Mistress of ceremony. The contest was a grand success. Mrs. Elder won first prize $50, and Miss Jackie Corry won second prize. a diamond necklace. The Elite Bridge Club met at the home of Mrs. Pinky Taylor on San Rafael Street. The Matron's Club of the Y. W. C. meets every second Thursday at the local Y. W. C. A. N. J. B.

To paraphrase Mrs. Wells: "No place is deemed too undignified to visit if some fellow being can be salvaged and stated anew on the right course of conduct." Atty. James Phillips gave a very interesting and instructive talk on marriage, divorce, and realestate as interpreted by California law. If I remember correctly, Atty. Phillips mentioned the fact that "there is no fixed determination as to whom shall receive the children in the case of divorce the father or mother having equal rights to possession, etc." The lawyer cleared up many legal misconceptions, so well in fact, the writer is sure that the general public would be, greatly benefited by hearing such an address. Mrs. Laura Lee Turner sang Romberg's "Desert Song" very beautifully, and was obliged to render an encore. Mrs. F. Marie Brawley initiated those present into the intensely interesting and ancient wisdom of the East Numerology. This doctrine is based on the idea that the letters of our news have their numerical counterpart which in turn have their specific vibrations, favorable or unfavorable to the individual. After listening to the rather Cosmopolitan program, the members and guests were served quite daintily with refreshments. The N. A. A. C. P. presented the eminent John Stevens McGroarty at Friendship Church. Mr. McGroarty spoke on: "The Structure of the State." Miss Ruby Jefferson, of the Los Anaisis Y. W. C.

Rural America is in pro that process brings nearer to story, of the jester's fling and roadside garage and tea house never take the place of this p The country store is passing. It is going to join the covered wagon, the town pump and the ox team. Thousands of them still keep their old estate, but in other thousands glittering fixtures, plate glass showcases, gilt cash registers and steam heat have supplanted the wood stove, the upended nail kegs, the cracker barrel and the dry goods box handy for the whittler's blade. With its mingled smells of new rope, kerosene, yellow soap, coffee, cheese, plug cut and calico the country store is an institution as American as green corn and apple pie. If it is the will of the ruthless gods of commerce to destroy this institution it will be to the great loss and with the great regret of the vast rural population of the nation. What the department store is to the city the cross roads general store has been to the country. It has the compendiums of the wants of man. It has been even more than that, for through it the farmer and his good wife were able to convert butter and eggs into shoes and sealing wax. What the club is to the city the general store has been to the country. The country store has been the forum and intellectual arena of a large area of this broad country. These countless centers for rustic gathering have been the fountain-heads of those rivulets of politics and opinion that joined themselves into irresistible floods of national opinion. Rural America is in process of transformation and every step in that process brings nearer to obsolescence the country store of song and story, of the jester's fling and the cartoonist's pencil. The hot-dog stand, roadside garage and tea house are siding in the extermination but can never take the place of this pioneer institution.

Every person should go to the cemetery at least twice in life. Once at the end of life, and first early in life to reflect on the brevity of life and the insufficiency of worldly goods. There is no place like a quiet churchyard for meditation and there is room in every life for more serious thought The tombstones hold a moral for all living. There is inscribed the human virtues, but among the inscriptions there is no record of estates left behind, fortunes made and spent and worldly fame attained. The magnitude and sculpture of the stone or the vault alone remain to remind the world of "the boast of heraldry and the pomp of power." Why should human beings worry and struggle through life's fleet span in pursuit of wealth, fame, luxuries, vanities and all those other evanescent things we choose to call riches. The poor are distressed by too little money, the moderately wealthy by the thought that others possess more wealth than they, and the rich by too much money. The Garden of Paradise was paradise only so long as Adam and Eve entertained no thought of worldly things. There were no pestering bank accounts, troublesome servants, expensive automobiles, business worries and social and fashion detractions in Paradise. Few people have learned the secret of living well. Most of us measure contentment in terms of dollars and social position. The number is negligible which views life as a golden opportunity to work and think and be joyful. COMMUNITY · PROGRESS While Los Angeles has moments, it would be sheer foll ment to rest content with pas vancement. Los Angele's present high tion has been won by foresigh generation should be just as While Los Angeles has much to boast of as it considers past achievements, it would be sheer folly at this stake of its community development to rest content with past laurgs and cease striving for further advancement. Los Angele's present high standing among centers of equal population has been won by foresight and aggressive policies in the past. This generation should be just as eager to assure an enviable future for the community as were those men of former generations who often fought a stiff, up-hill fight to gain those things upon which the city's present prestige rests. Never before in its history has Los Angeles been in such good position to go forward in rapid and substantial development as right now. It has all its pristine attractions plus many of relatively recent acquisition. But to do the things that must be done if the community is to progress along desirable lines of commercial, industrial and residential expansion and betterment, there must be no diminution of that spirit of co-operation and willing effort on the part of a considerable number of citizens which has been manifested in all its past accomplishments. And just as men and women of vision and civic consciousness have always been available in the past, so will they come to the service of the community in future hours of need. Possibly "beauty expert" refers to intentions instead of results. Suicide seems a drastic measure, but maybe he was afraid to try running away from her.

In the "Free For All" between the Upper and Lower houses of Congress and the Administration it has developed into a question of party control. The debenture clause adopted by the Senate in this farm-relief feature of the bill, by the close vote of 42-34, is known to be offensive to both the President and the House. It was put in by the coalition of 13 Republicans of the Senate and the Democrats. Among those voting for the debenture provision were some of the President's most ardent supporters during his fight for the office. Borah, Idaho; Brookhart, Iowa and several of the others were pillars of strength in the advocacy of Hoover's campaign. But now they are aligned with such radicals as La Folette and Blaine of Wisconsin. Howell and Norris of Nebraska and several others of the lesser insurgents of the Senate in defeating his wishes. Some political observers see in the fight the forerunner of a new political alignment if not the formation of a new political party. If the insurgents are successful in defecating the administration by retaining the debenture provision in the tariff bill it is thought that the agricultural West and South seek to form a new party liberal in its principles, and not so sympathetic with the "money power." * * * * If this fight should settle down to a real opposition to the Administration, it might cause a great deal of trouble and embarrassment. The confirmation of presidential appointments, the ratification of treaties and the success of many of the plans laid down as projects of the administration may be held in obevance or defeated through this coalition. It is well known that Borah of Idaho has been flirting with the South for some time. He is looked upon as one of the presidential possibilities, and should this administration fail to keep its pledge to the nation, there is no telling what the outcome will be. On the other hand the President seems to have the full confidence of the people. In the fight to eliminate the debenture provision from the Farm-Relief measure last summer, he carried his point of view to the people and they sustained him and brought such pressure to bear that the Lower House deleted the clause. Can the President, in the face of such opposition as confronts him, retain the full confidence and support of the nation? Is the burning question of the political hour. If he can: then all of the political machinations of the adversaries will prove futile. At any rate, the fusion of disgruntled politicians have proven so disastrous in the past that it may prove an unfortunate venture. it should settle down to a real opposition to it cause a great deal of trouble and embarrass his presidential appointments, the ratification of many of the plans laid down as projects of the fold in obeyance or defeated through this contempt of Borah of Idaho has been flirting with the life is looked upon as one of the presidential administration fail to keep its pledge to bring what the outcome will be.

Burton, Ohio. An advocate of equal justice for all, and a fearless exponent of equality of American citizenship before the law. He stood out as one of the nation's foremost humanitarians. His advocacy for justice when the Brownsville, Texas case was before the nation can never be forgotten. His legislative career was rather unique. He served in the House and was elected to the Senate. Retired; entered again, the political arena; was elected to the House and then again elected to the Senate. He was the only man in American history to serve in the house and senate and then return, and hold membership in the house and senate. As an exponent for the rights of citizenship for all he proved himself a friend of the Negro. Whenever there was a measure introduced that did prove of equal benefit to all he bitterly opposed it. He passed at the ripe age of 77 and died in the service of the Nation. In the delivering of his valedictory, after his unsuccessful quest of the presidency, Gov. Alfred Smith cautioned the Democratic party to becoming a fault finding aggregation. He warned them that instead of trying to block useful legislation they should seek to become constructive elements in the affairs of the nation, and thereby have cause to merit the confidence of the people as a constructive party. From the trend of events it does not seem as if they have taken heed to the warning. With the assistance of the radicals who term them elves Republicans, and have about as much right to the term as Stewart McGuire's mule, which used to be the forerunner of every Democrat parade in Boonville; they, the Democrats have been able to thwart most every plan of the President, led by Simmons of Virginia, who was one of Smith's inveterate foes, they have put forth no constructive ideas, but sought to obstruct any measure put forward by the Administration. Should they persist in such tactics there will be small hopes of them adding to their number in the election of '30. The break between Chairman Huston of the National Republican Committee and his former political pal, Horace Mann over patronage control in the South may help some in the re-alignment of the Southern Democrats, but it is doubtful.

"We told you so." but when we keep quiet with the knowledge that experience has taught us only to await the time when the inevitable will come true, we have to write it. There has been no time that the dabbling of the clergy in politics has not ended in the besmirching of the cloth. Among those who tried it were a number of the big men in the Negro churches—Methodist, Baptist or what-not whenever or wherever they have consorted with the professional politician they have come out with mud on their garments. Poor Ben Arnett. Bishop of the A. M. E. Church paid more attention to the ramifications of politics than to the service of the church which he was, ordained to serve. And so it was with many others of the cloth who would not take friendly advice. When this column decried the acceptance of Bishop Cary of a membership to the civil service commission of Chicago, and predicted that before many months there would be a stain on the clerical garment; denunciatory letters came pouring in from all quarters. We were accused of racial treason, and every other term which called for a "pariah" or antithesis to Negro advancement. Bishop Cary and his secretary, Tim Reeves, have been indicted for accepting money in the distribution of civil service jobs. Even though the good Bishop should be exonerated and accoutted of the charge, his usefulness as a churchman will be nullified. That stain on the clerical cloth will be hard to remove.

We were accused of racial treason, and It has been a matter of 2000 or more years since the Romans smashed the Jewish State and scattered the inhabitants far and wide through the nations of the earth. It did not dim their religious belief nor deter them from holding fast to the faith of their fathers. With all the modern tendencies of the younger generation to minimize their orthodoxy in religious faith, the masses have clung to the tenets of Judaism. They have had an abiding faith that some day they would return to the land of "Promise," and build again a Jewish State which would become a power in the affairs of the world. After the World War, and the mandates were being apportioned, some of the more visionary believed that the time had come and they started a movement for the "Return to Zion." But Zion has been the home of the Moslem for a few centuries and they did not like the idea of any encroachment on their abodes. There have been racial clashes and religious disturbances causing bloodshed and death. England has the mandate and they have produced quiet and order at the bayonette's point. How long it will last is problematical. But the great thing is: The Jews have waited and waited long. They have never become impatient, but waited, and worked while waiting. The American Negro can well take a leaf from Jewish experience. Instead of bemoaning fate and idle kicking against the wall. Wait! and while waiting. WORK! We have said something concerning the achievements of some of the young Negroes in California. Some have gained national and inter-national notice for their work. There are others whose work is but beginning to receive the attention it deserves and it is predicted that are long there will be another name in the galaxy of those who have accomplished, added to the list. In the city of Sacramento there is a young man who is making for himself an enviable reputation as a commercial artist. John Evans writes the cards for the window display of a number of the city's most exclusive stores and department emporiums. Aside from that the management of several theatres have such confidence in his imagery that they give him carte blanc supervision over the production of their lobby posters. Should Jon Evans ever confine himself strictly to cartoon work there is no telling what artistic plane might be reached. His imagery is creative; he has vision that grasps a subject and gives the picture outline. Several fields are open to him in his chosen work. Among them is that of illustrator. A splendid career is predicted for this young artist, and a name among the artist of the nation. * * * * There was a man who made his home on an island and isolated himself from his fellow men. He would have nothing to do with any movement for the benefit of humanity, and believed that the "earth and all there was thereon," was made for him and for him only.

GREAT REDUCTION POWER RATE SAVINGS MILLIONS ANNUALLY TO CITIZENS Los Angeles citizens are to receive a Christmas gift in the form of a $1,800,000 annual saving in electric rates, it was revealed yesterday when the Department of Water and Power announced a proposed reduction in rates on the City-Owned Power System. The rate reduction proposed by the Department of Water and Power will give Los Angeles consumers the lowest electrical rates in California, officials of the Department declared. The new rates, when finally adopted by City Council, became effective on all meter readings made after January 1, 1930. Under the new schedule, the rates on all classes of service are reduced. Friday, November 8, 1929 NEGRO PHILOSOPHY Dissatisfaction BY: THE DEACON In every political campaign For more than thirty years, We have heard Uncle Tom, Express his doubts and fears. When an office seeker Declared his intention, To be a candidate Before a Republican convention. Uncle Tom was ready To strike an alarm. When the candidate tickled His itching palm. Should a Negro candidate Step into the political ring Uncle Tom would raise his voice And commence to sing. Its too son for you To sail so high, We must clip your wings, So you cannot fly. Your skin is too black We can't let you rise You might succeed And win a rich prize. We must keep the black And the white Negro down, Ano not let them stand Upon the solid ground. We must keep their feet In the mirye clay; So we can sell them off On election day. Uncle Tom goes on From one year to another, Selling the sacred rights Of his dark-skinned brother. In this year of Our Lord The political pastures are poor, There are no suffering candidates For Uncle Tom to bore. In the year 1930. Political pastures will be green; Then our deceitful Uncle Tom Will be often seen. Against the Negro office seeker Uncle Tom is set; And his opinion is, It taint time yet. It 'taint time yet O Lord, how long? Will Uncle Tom sing That old Clown song. Let us all get together And with one accord, Send up our prayers To the Gracious Lord. Ask Him to send Uncle Tom To a distant land; A land without harps Or an Angel Band. A land that flows With beinnstone and fire; Where the David may roast The notorious old harp. Uncle Tom is a menace And a continuous pest; Send Him Good Lord, Where he cannot rest. on an average, of 12 1-2 per cent below the present level, it was point of out yesterday by officials of the Department of Water and Power. This reduction, it was stated, will mean a saving of approximately $1,100,000 to consumers served by the City-Owned Power System. It was expected that the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation will find it necessary to reduce its rates to meet the City's schedule. If this is done consumers on the corporation's lines will benefit by a saving of about $700,000, it was estimated. The rate reduction now proposed by the Department of Water and Power is the third sharp cut in electric rates made on the City-Owned Power System within two years. These three reductions, it was estimated yesterday, have returned savings amounting to $4,500,000 annually to the Los Angeles rate payers. Reduction of rates on the City's electric system was made possible by the large amount of surplus earnings realized the past year by this enterprise. President Haynes of the Water and Power Commission stated. These surplus earnings amounted to more than $3,600,000 after every allowance had been made for running expenses and for bond charges. Every class of consumer is benefited by the proposed reduction of rates by the Department of Water and Power. Starting with the domestic consumer, every type of service, including the commercial lighting, light industrial and heavy industrial consumer will share in the benefits of the rate reduction. Particularly, will the domestic consumer be benefited by the proposed rate cut, is has been pointed out by the Water and Power Commission. The The maximum charge of 5 cents now effective on City-Owned lines will be reduced to 4.8 cents per kilowatt hour. Under the present schedule, the domestic consumer pays 5 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 50 kilowatts consumed during a month; the next 125 kilowatts are available at 2.5 cents per kilowatt hour. Under the reduced schedule, the 2.5 cent rate is made effective after the consumer has used only 35 kilowatt hours. Marked reductions in the commercial lighting and industrial rates are provided for in the schedule recommended by the Board of Water and Power Commissioners. ```markdown ``` THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE MAGAZINE SECTION "OLE VIRGINNY" "Carry me back to Ole Virginiay. Dah's whah de cotten, corn and swee potatoes grow: Dah's whah de kirds warble sweet in de springtime Dah's whah dis ole darkey's hott does long to go." 1980 For the first time in my life I witnessed the spectacle of the often reputed eastern curb-market place in Cleveland. It savours of the far east It is vivacious, colorful, reeking with ooors of old clothes, new clothes, vegetables, fish, poultry, fruit, old shoes, new shoes and humanity. Twas a jumbled up mess of carts and improvised stands that took up sidewalk and curb space for blocks and blocks. When I saw it, I was riding on the car with a group of friends on the way to Young-town. Immediately it was my impulse to get off and go nosing through that throng of excited buyers and pilferers that had gathered. I never suspected Arabic blood in my veins, but here were signs conclusive. I would not leave Cleveland without a few words on my observation of Negro business. Being only the fifth city, you would not expect any kind of business to compare with that of progressive Los Angeles and it certainly does not. There are two hotels of seeingly good accommodations, some four or five stories high. There are cleaning and pressing houses almost as numerous as those in Los Angeles, prices in Cleveland being almost double those in Los Angeles this business is one of the best paying businesses operated by Negroes. Not so numerous are the beauty parlors, there at least not along the Avenues. The usual run of barber shops and pool halls are A GUARANTEE FROM A RELIANCE MEANS SOMETHING Our Prices Are One L WE PROMISE NO A GUARANTEE FROM A RELIABLE DENTIST MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU Our Prices Are One Half The Usual Charge WE PROMISE NOT TO HURT YOU GUARANTEED SUCTION Best White Pin Plate -- $8.00 LIKE PORCEL Light and clean as a piece of D or Platinum --- Specialists call Plate -- -- A REGULAR $50.00 PLATE - OUR LIKE PORCELAIN PLATES Light and clean as a piece of Dresden China - Better than Gold or Platinum - - - Specialists call it the World's Most Wonderful Plate - - - REASONS FOR REVOLT BY CARL ECHOLS We should not wonder why so many college students revolt against religious doctrine and social conventions. Rather, we should wonder why more do not revolt than do, especially when adults attempt to thrust down their intellectual throats ideas that are so out of date that they almost defy recognition. Ethics and etiquette adopt themselves, to changing times. The person who attempts to live an ancient life in these modern times is as truly primitive and backward as any savage ever dared to be. When the young "thinker-in-the-making" gravitates towards books and men having atheistic principles, he often assails God, the Angelic Host, and the Faith of the fathers as a consequence. It is only begging the question to denounce these juvenile pioneers as being head strong and impudent. The truth is, they are sensitises to the spirit of the times, more so than many of the "wise" adults. It is about as unreasonable to expect young minds to thrive on antiquated ideas as it is to expect an old flatboy patch to hold on a pair of new jeans. in evidence. A couple undertaking establishments, a few drug stores and an absence of grocer stores. A candy manufacturer a music and book store. One of the most beautiful and well equipped barber shops, it has been my privilege to see were owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Sherrer, among the most progressive of Cleveland's citizenry, also owners of a cleaning an dressing shop. In the midst of Negro activities on 55th St. off Central Avenue this barber shop is located. Modern to the ith degree, the mirrored walls, silvered do-dads, comfortable chairs and marble plated shelves and table tops, set the Sherrers back more than $5,000. I was told. However Negro business seems to be in State of inertia, lacking in that liveliness and boosting, boasting spirit of Los Angeles and Chicago. One of its promulgators attributed it to the jealousies of the Cleveland Negro, "Colored people here are the most jealous and envious of any in my experience, they hate to see one another succeed" he sai. However I attribute the lack of co-operation of Negroes there to false barriers raised by hungry social hyenas. They destroy the oneness of spirit by their pretended superiority and erect some of the finest churches to be found among Negroes anywhere.

No High Pressure Charges here! GUARANTEED DENTISTRY Many of our college students take to Haeckel rather than Holy Script, not out of pure devery and defiance, but because of normal reaction. Our natures are like pendulums, they counteract one extreme with another. We are taught (in the Sunday School) theology with all its traditional lore. But the wise elders fail to square these doctrines with secular learning and as a result the student encounters in the daily school room statements that often cause him to turn a mental somersault, especially when he tries to reconcile them to his relogius teachings. All this should not be. The fault lies on the part of the churches. In the most cases the religious teachers cannot reconcile their Bible truths with scientific truths because of the ignorance of things scientific and philosophic. The alert student who attempt to justice to his reasoning faculties in the face of so much folk lore and superstition is in as perplexing position indeed. Safeway Chain Store Employs Full Time Negro Clerk Safeway Chain Store Employs Full Time Negro Clerk A Negro Clerk is to begin his full time duties in the Safeway Store at 2514 Central avenue on Saturday morning, November 2. This man will have full charge of the store in the capacity of clerk on the same basis that all Safeway Clerks are employed. The Safeway corporation has showed an unusual fair policy towards the Negroes of this city. They employ more than forty at their warehouse in the capacity of night watchmen, porters, cateisteria workers and warehouse shipping clerks. If the clerk at the 25th Street Store proves satisfactory it is very likely that other Negro clerks will be employed to operate the stores in the districts where Negroes are ninety per cent of the customers. Considering the difficulty that Negroes have, to receive a full share of occupational rights it should call to their attention the fact that if they don't wish to die of economic suicide that they should: (1) Support their own enterprises to the fullest extent; and (2) They should, when supporting other stores, trade with those which give them an opportunity to earn some of their money in return. Whether this Negro clerk remains in charge of this Safeway Store in the district, will depend upon the attitude of Negro patrons towards this store, and others, where the experiment will be tried. It is encouraging to note that a part time Negro clerk is employed by the Piggygly Wiggly Store at 43rd and Central. This young man will be employed full time as soon as he has learned the business. This store is one of the Safeway subsidiaries. The Industrial Department of the Los Angeles Urban League, under the directorship of Mr. Floyd C. Covington, has been very largely responsible for this advancement of Negro's occupational opportunities. The success of these efforts will be dependent upon Negroes making good when these openings have been made and supporting their own in these places when made. BRIGHT OUTLOOK ON A NEW ADMINISTRATION With our son, Hoover, as president of the United States, one of the best since Lincoln's time. Young as governor and Buron Fitts as District Attorney, whose equal cannot be found between the Atlantic and Pacific for fairness to the people who put him in office, keep it up—Ray L. Riley, our State Controller, the next governor of California and the best California has ever had. Porter as mayor with all the Christians with him, Sanborn with his cultured brain as president of one of the brainiest Councils in the United States, Erwin P. Werner as city attorney, who will one day be president of the United States, and the Daily News, one of the best condensed papers in Southern California, I see graft leaving California never to return again. Now Jurormen do your duty and let us have the cleanest city in the Golden West. In the near future men like Henry Ford will flock here and help us make Los Angeles the most progressive and largest city in the United States. Where can you find a city like ours that you can sleep under a blanket 365 nights in a year? CHAS. W. PARRISH "Chief Booster." WILLIAM McMAHON'S MARKET DIGEST The recent market slump is fast receding into history, and like the tragic circumstances that occasionally come into our lives, grows less important as it goes on. After Thursday, October 24th, when prices fell like a lead plummet, there was no question of a recovery. Not only were the big banks ready to toss more and more millions into the market, but large industrial corporations offered their hundreds of millions as well. These men knew the situation and were willing to buy stocks and did buy them. They are buying them now and will continue to buy, for the simple reason that hundreds of common stocks are good, solid investments. Now we are all partial to certain issues. Every stock has its parisifis and if someone didn't buy them, they would appear in the quotations. As it is true that unworthy issues are bought, so are worthy ones sold. It would seem to be a mistake for us to buy a stock, no matter how much it in the last decline receded and no matter how prominent in the public eye, if at the current price it would be selling at ten or fifteen or twenty times current earnings. It is all very well to consider prospects but we must not close our eyes to the present. Opportunities of purchase which seem good to us are, Norfolk and Western Railroad, Raybestos Manhattan, Allis Chalmers, Chrysler, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Kenneth Copper and Republic Iron and Steel. If anything is to be learned from such severe lessons as have been forced upon us lately, it is that we must select stocks with an eye more to their investment than their speculative features, that we never should buy any stock unless the yield is at least 4 1-2 per cent, that such yield should accompany strong asset value, a record of satisfactory earnings and a wide margin of earnings over dividends. Furthermore, we ought to try such stocks outright, and in order never again to be forced into mob action, we should be qualified to judge and appreciate any given issue without any one's assistance, so that thereby we may become the masters of our financial fate, the captains of our own financial souls. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Every Los Angeles citizen used an average of 10 per cent more electricity in his home in 1929 than in 1928, and in 1928 the per capita increase over the preceding year was 8 per cent, according to figures recently released by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. This shows that not only is the demand greater for municipal electricity, but the rate rate of increase is actually growing. Without question, one of the reasons for this very favorable condition is the gaining population of electric refrigeration. A check-up of dealers within the city shows that nearly 10,000 electric refrigerators have been added to Department of Water and Power lines during the past twelve months. According to advance reports, this year will see more electric refrigerators given as Christmas gifts than at any time in the part; and the Department of Water and Power, with its low rate of $1.50 or less for current, is anxious to be of service to those who are planning to make an electric refrigerator the main gift for the home. The Department of Water and Power is also ready to assist those people who are planning to give other electrical appliances as Christmas gifts. The Appliance Display Room at 207 South Broadway has made preparations for the holiday season with the largest exhibit of all kinds of electrical appliances ever shown in this city, and probably in the West. What Does the Community Chest Mean to the Negro Each year when the Community Chest Drive is launched the first question that arrives in the mind of Every Negro is: "Why should I give to the Chest? What does it mean to me?" This is a fair question and one is justified in wanting an answer based on fact. "What does the Chest mean to the Negro?" A question is sometimes answered by asking another. "What does life insurance mean to the Negro?" Each person considers in taking out insurance of any form that they wish protection against certain risks. They want protection for those whom they love. They want some means of being sure that when death shall have claimed them that there will be funds to care for their burial Some consider insurance the safe investment for certain funds. Yet, each person who takes out insurance on himself realizes that someone else is to be the beneficiary. Of course, the insured may claim the cash render value of their policy; they may receive an endowment value at the end of a stipulated period; or they may be granted a loan on their policy. But in the main, they are willing to pay for certain protection in life for those who shall succeed them. They seldom refuse to take out insurance with the idea in mind that "Because I do not benefit directly why should I consider the welfare of someone else." Intact the very essence of insurance is built on the idea of DISTRIBUTING THE RISK OF FEW AMONG MANY! Each person who holds insurance is paying for someone who is a greater risk than himself. This is certainly a legitimate and worthwhile investment. THE COMMUNITY WELFARE FEDERATION is the best method yet created for DISTRIBUTING THE CARE OF FEW AMONG MANY. One cannot assume that because I have not had a direct need for a social agency that I will never have a need for one. There are two specific reasons why the Negro should be Chest minded; and why he should give according to his income: First, there are five agencies in the Community Fund whose efforts are made directly in the interest of Negroes. Those agencies are: Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations conducting their work in the interest of health and character building and dissemination of Christian influence among young and old; the Eastside Mothers' Home which cares and protects the unmarried mother and child until some permanent adjustment has been made for them both; the Sojourner Truth Industrial Home which provides a wholesome influence for working women as well as a transient home for them; and the Urban League which is one of the locals of a National organization concentrating on the economic and social development of Negroes not only in Los Angeles, but in the forty-three cities where it operates. The second reason is: That the general attitude of Negroes toward their own social welfare is reflected in their support of the Chest. One cannot demand or expect help if one is not willing to help those who need it. Five agencies are directly working for the Negro's welfare and receive their funds from the Chest. Dozens of other agencies co-operating in caring for the Negro clients who come to them for assistance and adjustment. Why should Negroes support the Chest? Because it is an opportunity to render service to those within their own race group who have lesser advantages than the many. It is the distribution of the disadvantages of the few among the greater advantages of the many. If you withhold your contribution to the chest you fail to pay your premium for a worth while and needed insurance. If this policy lapses you will be deprived of the CHEST PREMIUM AND PROTECT THOSE WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE. WHEN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF.

Crawford, a 19-year-old youth, is facing a death sentence as a result of being convicted of first degree murder in concession with the death of Philbert Bittner, a white attendant at a gasoline filling station last Thanksgiving night. Crawford testified that he, along with Carl Terry, Benjamin Bronson and Joseph Hardy, went to the filling station and that Bittner was accidentally killed when a revolver over which he and one of his companions were struggling was fired. Terry was exonerated and Bronson testified for the government. Haruy who is also charged with the murder has not been apprehended. The case will perhaps be carried to the court of appeals by the attorneys for the youth. WASHINGTON, D. C. I. ALLEN REESE Approximately 110,000 inhabitants this city whose total population is 550,000 and U Street and the territory adjacent thereto constitutes the district wherein the great majority of this group is housed. Banks, insurance companies, fraternal buildings, hotels, theaters, a finance company, drug stores, and of course the cates, taxi stands, etc., so common to the vicinities constituted by our group are found thereabout. Here Howard University, that institution which has proven the capstone of the educational effort of thousands of our boys and girls raises its age worn walls before us. This symbol of culture, refinement and opportunity is truly an inspiration, to those who chance to view, its imposing buildings and its campus which stretches forth as a green carpet before those who have made the pilgrimage. As the seat of government of the United States of America the city of Washington naturally proves unusually interesting and it is here that patriotism seems to engulf you as from within you say to yourself, "This is my own my native land." Passing thru the $18,000,000 Union Station the dome of the Capitol greets the eye and thus a desire to visit the "Headquarters of the Nation" seizes you. Approaching, we climb the long array of steps and finally find ourselves entering the bronze door which leads into the rotunda. Around, below and above us is the sculpture and art of the ages. Here the brush has done its best and the chisel has shaped the likenesses of those who have made "Footprints in the sands of time." Here we find Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, they live again in marble and bronze. Here too we witness "The singling of the Declaration of Independence." "The resignation of Washington as Commander-in-Chief." "The surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown" and "Surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga." But we must go further, we must visit Statuary Hall, the Hall of the House of Representatives. The President's Room, and the Supreme Court Chamber. We find the United States Senate in session and Vice-President Curtis is the presiding officer. Senator Moses is on the floor and young, Bob Lafollette sits at attention while the tariff issue entertains those who represent the people of these United States. Both Senators Johnson and Shortridge are absent. Leaving the capitol we visit the Senate and House office buildings where the various members of Congress maintain their offices, The War and Navy Building, the Treasury Building, the Post Office Department, Patent Bureau, and the many department buildings hereabout. Too, we must see the White House or Executive Mansion, many portions of which are open to the public daily. Everyone is very courteous and ready to suggest anything which will promote the successful visit of those who come to pay homage to the presidential quarters. A visit to the Library of Congress is very interesting for here you witness the largest collections of printed books in the Western Hemisphere, estimated at about 3,500,000 books and pamphlets. Of all the buildings in Washington, the writer thinks this the most beautiful interior. The Central Stair Hall, massive marble or granite columns upholding the ceiling is gorgeous in the extreme. The stair, the reading room, the paintings and the very corridors command your admiration and wonder. It is here that the original copies of the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence are securely kept in a gold case, though in full view, but at all times guard. Of the many interesting sights in the Old Museum, by far the article commanding most attention is "The Spirit of St. Louis" with which Col Lindburgh flew successfully across the Atlantic. By far the most impressive monument erected to commemorate the life of an individual is the Lincoln Memorial. Placed a distance from the rush of the city and surrounded by the broad open spaces, well upon a mound overlooking the Potomac River the temple is a commanding object. It is explained that "The Union is expressed in the colonnade surrounding the hall. There are thirty-six columns, one for each State in existence at the time of Lincoln's death and on the wall above the Colonnade are inscribed the names of the forty-eight States which now make the Union and have equal part in perpetuating Lincoln's fame. The Colonnade is 188 feet long and 118 feet wide. The fluted columns are 7 ft. 4 inches in diameter at the base and 44 feet high—the largest of their kind in the world. The cap stones are the largest single pieces of marble ever quarried." Inside the hall against the west wall is the colossal figure of Abraham Lincoln seated in a chair, his arms resting on the arms thereof and his eyes fixed on the Washington Monument and the Capitol Dome in the distance. Chiseled in the marble wall to his right is the full Gettyburg Address while on the wall to the left is chiseled his Second Inagural Address. To visit Washington and not see this shrine simply means that the city in its completeness was not seen.

HOP, CHARLES OLDEN SHINE “The Five o'Clock Girl” current stage hit at the Lincoln Theatre opened Monday night before a packed house and was voted one of the best mus ical hits of the season. Evelyn Preer, as the girl that hang: on the phone every night at five o'clock improves with every performance Andrew Bishop as the rich bachelor Gerty Brooks, is still the man about town and what a man, if you don’t be- lieve it just ask the five o'clock girl she will tell you and no less. THE ONE OLDEN Charles Olden as Huggins Gerry's valet is a scream and packs a laugh in every word he utters. Olden is 2 super actor. He is good in any stage work. In drama he is a sensation, as all that had the pleasure of seeing “The Unborn” will testify. In musical comedies he is a riot and a wonderful actor any place there is any acting to he done. ROMANCE - The story is woven around a couple of hard-working girls in a cleaner's shdp' that are looking for romance. to brighten their cull life. And they find it believe me. Patrica Brown, “The Eyans Fortune, the college kid, are with Black Jack in Chi and will soon go to work, The Thompson troupe will soon box for Jack the Dempsey in Chicago.

UPTON 00 847 Central Avenue SPECIAL LEAVES FOR MEXICO The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce's fifth excursion to Mexico, left Sunday at 4 o'clock from the Southern Pacific depot. About 160 passengers were on the train, headed Ly Shannon Crandall, president of the Chamber. The travelers will return home November 21. A banquet in the Mexican Casino, near Chapultepec Castle, at which President Portes Gil and Ambassador Morrow will be the honor guests, is to be one of many entertainments features. Eighteen cities in Mexico are to be visited and the party will spend six days in Mexico City. The special will proceed down the West Coast to Mazatlan, through the Southern Pacific extension at Pepei to Mexico City and return by way of the Mexican National Lines. Many porters have been anling for this special during the past few weeks, but as before, the crew will be picked as near as possible from Pullman Porters having some knowledge of the Spanish language. H. O. Phillips, now operating on The Lark, speaks Spanish very fluently and is sure to be selected. Graves, practically a new man, will also get a call on account of his knowledge of Spanish. The boys were also making every effort to work big H. E. Washington in on the special, but all Mr. Washington can do is make signs; he can't speak a line. The trip will be a hard one as even during this time of year, it is very hot and dusty down in Mexico. On these Mexican specials as a rule they always have a gang of Pullman inspectors who take great delight in telling you when things are wrong. Of course the boys will make money; but they will earn every dime they make. Aside from getting a glimpse of the many fair senatoras in Mexico, it will be an exceptionally hard trip. There was some talk of carrying a swinger along with them this year. If they do that, the trip will be somewhat easier than in former years. anyway, here's wishing the boys good luck. FALL IN STOCK MARKET EFFECTS .PULLMAN PORTERS The recent panic in the stock market is already being felt by the Pullman Porters in the tipping respect. Porters report that the traveling, public having invested heavily in different stocks that took a sudden drop in value, have cut down on what they generally give the porter, and in many cases have quit giving entirely. It's the poor, Pullman Porter that pays and pays and pays. ' CRACK EASTERN TRAIN TO INSTALL MOVING PITURES Tired passengers riding on The Twentieth Century Limited, crack New York train, will hereafter be entertained in the observation car by the latest movie. This feature has already been installed on the Century, and from all indications will hereafter be a regular attraction on the crack train. MRS. J. D. BANTON PLAYS IN LULU BELLE Mrs. J. D. Banton, wife of Porter J. D. Banton, has been taking a prominent part in a play called Lulu Belle, now playing in one of the popular up-town theatres. WHITE GIRLS BLACK BOOTS IN SAN DIEGO It is rather hard to believe, nevertheless my friends; it is true, for the simple reason that the writer witnessed it with his own two eyes, down in San Diego on Broadway; two white girls who male from the State of Indiana, have opened up a shoe sho尔parlor, and let me tell you they are sure shining a wicked shoe. I was very much shocked when I first seen the miracle, an distoed spellbound for fully 10 minutes watching one of the girls use the blacking brushes and the rag; but the girls themselves think nothing of it, as it is an honest living. However, I am forced to ponder over the result, if this late craze should spread over the country. EX-PUELM MAN POWER EX-PUELM MAN POWER TISRYM PIC MAN POWER TISRYM PIC MAN POWER Several former Pullman Porters are now working for the Pickwick Stages. I run across one the other day who was just returning from a trip to Portland, Oregon. He was loud in his praises of the Pickwick System. I asked about the salary, and was informed that they pay—$90.00 per month and the boys report that they are making good tips. The work is somewhat similar to the Pullman Company's. You leave on a stage that carries you to a point about bedtime where you change to a night stage equipped with berths. You are also expected to serve coffee and sandwiches at meal time. You have eight lower berths and eight uppers to prepare if you you are top and bottom. A layover with pay is also given If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened Seen the grand old man of the Pullman Company last week at the office, Mr. S. A. Hopgood. He was looking a perfect picture of health and looked as if he would continue to draw the pension of the Pullman Co., for sometime yet to come. Mr. Hopgood in his day was by far the most popular Pullman Porter in the Los Angeles District. He was always active in Pullman affairs to the interest of the Pullman Porters. Hopgood was a fighter from the word go. He never was defeated for any office he ever undertook to run for. His name on a ticket was a foregone conclusion that he would be elected. The late T. A. Simms was another strong contender for the different offices in the P. P. B. A., and was well versed politically, also quite a stump speaker. He was considered a very cagey Pullman politician and a threat to candidate running for office. In later years he lost his popularity with the porters and was defeated several times for the office of delegate to the Grand Lodge. He departed this life after a very active Pullman career, but Mr. Hopgood still remains the grand old man among Pullman Porters. PULLMAN PILLOW SLIPS My good friend, Mr. Coleman still trying to extract the thin dime from hard-boiled passengers residing in the Kose City—Portland, Oregon. What few he manages to lay the brush on squeeze out a thin now and then, but Coleman says, money is not everything in this world, just look at the lay-over I get? * * * J. D. Banton has got his chest all poked out because his wife is playing in Lulu Belle. Banton is running to Portland for a while but the dimes came too far and slow, so he is now taking a chance on the extra board. Last time I heard from him he was running on the "Padre." * * * I wonder why Cecil DeMile passed J. Ponder up. He missed his best bet when he did not sign up Ponder to depict one of those sterling ante bellum slavery day characters. E. A. Thompson headed for Chicago last week in charge of a dead head private car. He will at least be able to cook his own meal and sleep in a good bed. --- They tell me that Daddy Jack came up missing last week. I wonder how come? The Padre and Lark were up for bid last week for loyal porters only. R. Hicks has been putting his spare time in writing insurance for the Golden State Life Insurance Co. R. Tindall has been under the weather for the past week with a cold. Porters running to Chicago are warned to change from B. V. D's. to winter underwear leaving Salt Lake City. Car Japalong, a private car owned and occupied by Japanese, was parked in San Diego, last week. T. Taft has purchased a Buick, and from now on all of his fair ladies will ride on rubber. "Derby Hat" Davis is still operating up and down the Coast. All porters who are so bold as to take a chance on taking a little dram are hereby advised to be sure and eat garlic, whether they like it or not. --- Duncan, the porter who handled the Hon. Oscar DPriest on his trip to this city, and was neglected in the rush to get off, has changed his mind about voting the Democratic ticket; because through the efforts of Sam Thompson (red cap) he has received a check for his labor. A. L. Scott, former Pullman porter operating out of this district, is now working as waiter for the Santa Fe and living in Chicago. He claims he has got a swell flat with everything to work with. A rumor has been put out that L. A Coffin will provide quarters for the maids. All winters who wish to have the news of their crew published in this column can do so by malling it in to Chas. L. Upton, not later than Monday of each week for the current issue: 2190 W. 30th Street. DINER 10153—JOHN BESS SPREADS JOY AT APEX Now and then just to break the monotony, the breezer breezes into the popular Apex Nite club. Last Halloween night was a wonderful nite at that bright spot. I sat in the corner with my trusty pencil waiting for something interesting to turn up. I did not have to wait long, for during the midst of lively jazz music, I spied the Hon. Mr. John Bess, and as sweet a young lady as man would ever want to lay eyes upon. They seemed to be so engrossed in each other that they failed to notice that they were being closely observed by The Railroad Clatter, so I jotted it down and put two and two together, don't besurprised to hear the announcement of Mr. John Bess being engaged in the near future. He is a fast worker. Announce. to You the— WESTERN AIRCRAFT SHOW LOS ANGELES NOVEMBER 9TH TO 17TH The greatest exhibition of planes the west has ever known will be on display at the Western Aircraft Show, Wilshire and Fairfax avenue, Los Angeles, November 9 to 17. There will be 65 of the latest model ships on display, ranging from the tiny two-passenger, to the giant transport, carrying 18 persons. More than 100,000 persons are expected to view this show, which is being held under the auspices of the Aerorastical Chamber of Commerce of America. Mr. F. J. Rhone is now back on the famous Argonot with Daddy Grant. HENRY HOWARD OFF TO MEX. Leaving behind a trail of broken hearts, Henry Howard left this city for Mexico last week, perhaps he will be fortunate enough to see Carmen. Leo Saunders is reported as hitting a wicked apple. SANTA FE RED CAPS Last week the sale of the California Eagle at the news stand in the Santa Fe depot for the benefit of the Santa Fe red caps and traveling public proved to be a big success. All papers were sold out before all the boys could get a copy. However, this week we will make an effort to have a greater supply on hand. Later on arrangements will be made to give the Southern Pacific red caps the same service. We thank you for your patronage. MRS. W. B. HARRIS MEETS WITH AUTO ACCIDENT D Mrs. W. B. Harris, wife of W. B. Harris, better known as "Speed" Harris, was severely injured last week when she tripped and fell to the ground on leaving her machine, spraining her knee. She is under the care of a doctor at the present writing and we hope for her speedy recovery. . . . Chas, Ennis, former Santa Fe red cap, is now finishing his last year in the dental college of the U. S. C. Dr. Ennis promises to be listed as one of our leading dentists in the near future. A warning is hereby issued to all railroad employees concerning a dark brown colored man who dresses in kaki pants very much stained, and puttees. He has the habit of asking for the loan of fare to San Diego on the pretense of having a job in that city. He has already victimized a red cap and a Pullman porter in this manner. If you see him, call the law and make a complaint. Everybody is getting new rubber, Mr. E. G. Brooks has purchased a new Essex sedan to enjoy the climes of Southern California. Not to be outdone, Mr. Normand Steward traded in his old Essex for a new brown paint job Essex, making the strong combination of a brown skin man in a brown skin car. He also laid off three or four days to try his speed demon out. He was last seen on Central avenue going forty miles per hour. As yet he has not showed up on the job, and it is the common belief that he is by this time safely landed in jail. Mr. Hawkins with the stock so unsettled could not see the point in laying cut cold cash for a new bus, so he purchased a used baby that won't behave.

MEN and WOMEN Frank Thompson and Henry Lives state that they have reserved the fiftieth seat on he N. street car until times get better. Sam Panky just out of the hospital is still instilled with that old sporting blood and sports again and a frock-tail coat. The new addition to the staff, Mr. Thomas Nash has fell right in line and is getting his. Normand X. Jones had the nerve to claim that it is no trouble at all to get 20 miles to the gallon out of that old rattle trap he owns. Mr. Al Day is back on the job after making an extended trip north. Logan Eubanks has the strongest voice of any man at the Santa Fe station, with the possible exception of Jack, the station master. Frank Parr has not been heard from for the past week. Maybe he went up in the airplane with his friend. IN THIS T O'PAL MFG. CO 3221 COTTAGE GROVE, AVE. CHICAGO, ILL. Do not forget to buy your Eagle from the Newsboy in front of the station.

DESIRE If I could but write the things of my heart, Of my longing, my dreaming and my desire; Perhaps I could rest me and draw apart From the sorrows that each day brings If I could but express myself in musical lay, Drawing from each sweet exquisite chord, Some beauty of the day, Perhaps I could sing. And when all things were said and done The dreams all dreamed, the victories won I'd be content to say—"Well done." AUXILIARY ARMISTICE DAY FESTIVAL The Auxiliary Unit of Benj. J. Bowie Post held an Armistice Festival at the Apex Night Club on last Thursday. There was a large attendant of Post members as well as their friends from the general public. The festival was a benefit affair.
