FINLEY WILSON ELKS' HEAD TO VISIT COAST
THERE HAS BEEN brought to our attention one or the most brutal at tacks in the annals of Los Angeles' criminal history, perpetrated by a white automobilist on a colored girl. As the case was related to us, the girl was on route home when an auto mobile drove close to the curb and its lone occupant offered to convey the girl to her home, which offer she thoughtlessly accepted, and instead of a ride home was the victim of an attack too terrible for print. The fact that we are mentioning that fall is due to a desire to admonish the young girls of this locality and their parents to be more careful as to their conduct on the streets, and especially their indiscriminate accepting of automobile rides with strange men, and even some men they know.
Tis freedom of thought, speech and action of the woman of today that furnishes the essential difference between the women of today and those of yesterday, and we contend that this change, in the main, is producing a stranger, morally and physically, type of women—But we do feel that according to some of our social standards, there is far too much laxity in proper directing of our youth. The automobile has revised and revived the civilization of this age—To the rich it is a luxury; but to the poor, especially the shop and factory worker, those who in previous years and days went from shop to home without ever an opportunity to open wide their lungs and breathe in God's air in the great outdoor, it is truly a blessing. There are those in their wild desire for destructive pleasure who have made the much coveted automobile a damnation to the morals of our youths.
Mothers should realize that their activities in the development of club and church life dwindles into insignificance as compared with their first and sacred duty with regard to the training and watching over of their daughters. Girls in the adolescent period should have the tender loving guidance of a mother or some other motherly companion. Surely she should not be left to choose her own associates indiscriminately and above all not subjected to the temptations which go hand in hand with the automobile thrill.
OUR KEENEST sensibility was piqued and our womanly sympathy aroused Monday afternoon when Mrs. Rosa Williamson walked into this office and related an experience she had just had with one of our leading real estate dealers.
Mrs. Williamson, who is a member of the Bethel Church (Holiness) and owner of valuable properties in and outside of the city, explained that up until Monday her business relations with said dealer had been pleasant to the extent that on a recent occasion he approached her with a request to borrow Fifty ($50.00) Dollars with which she gladly accommodated him, with the understanding that the money would be returned in a specified time, but when specified time arrived, said dealer evaded payment—Hence, on Monday afternoon when she called at his office to press the payment of the Fifty Dollars, instead of the money she was given a terrific fist blow on the head which fell her to the floor, when and where she was kicked by the dealer in question—and this was the story told by Mrs. Williamson, while blistering tears stained her cheeks and her articulation was punctuated by short sobs, that rocked her rame as she falteringly poured out, not bitterly, but pathetically, an experience that stood for the reward of a commendable act of charity.
Mrs. Williamson is a resident of Long Beach, Calif.
"THE FELLOWSHIP FORUM" official organ for the Ku Klux Klan, published at Washington, the National capital, according to our way of thinking should be barred from the mails. This grossly un-American publication has, so to speak, been hot in the collar since the advent of Oscar DePriest at the National Capital, as the lone congressional representative of Black Americans.
And again the fire of hate which burns perpetually at its editorial altar has been rekindled on account of the activities of congressman DePriest in his effort to assist Delaney of New York to a seat beside him in congress.
This Fellowship Forum represents the sentiment of the meanest and most despicable class of poor whites who have little other than race hatred to show for their four or five hundred years' sojourn in the United States of America.
An individual or institution which has as its impelling motive for action, the practice of hatred towards another individual or group of individuals, sometimes classed as a race, as a rule is diseased with ignorance, as seems to be the case with the Fellowship Forum for in the final paragraph.

RACE CHORUS BECOMES "VOICE OF R. K. O."
BY: IDELL A. BATEMAN
A wave of a baton! Just a tiny little stick, yet by its power are stars mace and have the Emanuel Hall chorus become the wonder of wonders at the K.K.O. studios.
Assistant directors have gasped and raved over them until attracting the attention of the chief directors. They in turned have stopped, listened, blinked their eyes, turned the other ear, to make sure, and then with glittering eyes, lips parted in rapture, they have ranted until the "CHIEF-TEST" of the chief, have left their throne of presidency of the company and come down to the work room of forty-one black folk to listen to song as it rolled forth in chords harmonious. They have listened, whispered together and then listened some more, vociferously declaring that it is "simply marvelous."
The Emanuel Hall chorus is an aggregation of some of the most outstanding musical talent in which the city and state can boast. In its membership are persons whose musical training include the best of America and Europe.
Some four months ago the manager, Mr. Emanuel Hall conceived an idea to organize a group of singers for picture work. He unselfishly sought talent, wherever he could find it, putting the success of his chorus above ties of blood or friendship. He met with little success, some disappointment, a lot of discouragement and criticism. However with a couple of engagements made and filled and a prayer constantly in his heart, his eyes were opened. He dreamed a dream of big things for the chorus assembled. One fair morning he woke and finding the door of opportunity ajar, immediately called to the forty that followed and led them into the R. K. O. studios to do the chorus work in "Hit the Deck."
Two weeks went by under the very able direction of Claude V. Pitts with Melha V. Allen-Hannah at the piano. The work was recorded by microphone. It was then that the directors realized what they had in the Emanuel Hall chorus. They had tried some eighty odd coruses of fairer skin and found them lacking in quality of tone—now here was just what they wanted but forty-one of them—whew! It just couldn't be done, not even by a Radio

Funeral to be held Tuesday at 2 p. m., from Independent Church of Christ; and representatives from the vauous organizations in which he was active for so many years will be in charge.

The Heffllin Mfg. Co.
(BY W. D. ALLIMUNO) Industrial Engineer of Chicago, Ill. My investigation of the affairs of the Hefflin Mfg. Co., Inc. of Los Angeles, California, is still incomplete; but I have obtained information pertaining to the Company's activities since its date of incorporation of Jan. 7, 1925 up to and including Oct. 31, 1929.
The information thus far obtained, furnishes me with sufficient data to justly and cautiously make the following statement:
I have found no evidence of irregularities in the records; and after applying the most rigid procedure of securing information by abstraction, I failed to find any surrounding conditions which would indicate any degree of dishonesty or intent of fraud on the part of the management.
I discovered however, that they were confronted with the problem of distribution, (one of the most serious problem in the development of big business,) and out of which usually animates, certain serious embarrassments, accompanied with internal dissention and strife due to a complete misunderstanding of the entire situation and its cause.
Keith Orpheum studio, which by the way represents the finest circuit in the U. S. A. They scratched their heads, talked in undertones and figures together. Finally they occided to contract with Marguerite Robinson, who stood out in the singing of a solo part in "Halle-lujah," knowing that she would be more easily distinguished and pounced upon by other studios.
Miss Robinson who is just "Marguerite" to her many friends and members of the Independent church was handed a six months contract for her O. K. "I wouldn't mind signing. If I could stay with my chorus, I couldn't want to leave them," was her naive reply.
Perhaps the unselfishness of her spirit only puzzled her, nevertheless the next day the vice-president of the company came before the chorus offering them a six months' contract. Stating also that in the coming year they had several big pictures in which singing would play a prominent part and that they were so well impressed with the work of the chorus, they wanted them to become the "voice of R. K. O."
Is Mr. Hall happy? It seemed for a few minutes as though he would shout and then; having the whole chorus to stand, he thanked God for the success that had come to them. With tears of joy in his eyes he said that the answer to his prayers only make him more humble. "We hope that our group will understand our work and encourage us, we are making history for the face," he concluded.
Mr. Claude Pitts and Mrs. Melbr Hannah have been complimented by the directors as being among the finest musicians of their ken. Mr. Pitts will be remembered as director of the St. Paul Baptist and Independent church choirs, he is also the only director of color that has directed the San Francisco Choral club (white) of eighty voices.
Miss Marguerite Robinson, daughter of Mrs. Ada D. Perez of East Adams, has appeared in several choruses before in picture, musical comedy and church work doing solo work. She enjoys the distinction of having been soloist for her class summer '28 Jefferson High and until becoming engaged in present occupation was student at L. A. Junior College.
comes to us of the passing of Los Angeles' pioneer citizens, this Soldiers' Home, Sawtell. Funeral from Independent Church of from the vicious organizations in any years will be in charge. A from the Soldiers' Home, Wednes-
After the Board of Directors had turned over to me the complete control of all the affairs of the corporation and its business for re-organization, I immediately appointed an engineering committee consisting of six individuals and myself representing three elements the Board of Directors, the Stock-holders and the public, namely: C. A. Brooks, R. L. Britt, E. V. Crain, Mrs. A. C. Richardson, A. Hartley Jones, Paul R. Williams.
The object and purpose of this committee is to put into execution plans which are necessary to properly reorganize the personnel of the management, and refinance the affairs of the corporation according to the requirements of a scientific method of production and distribution of their products and the establishing of a new management based upon the fundamental principles of the science of business.
With the adoption of scientific methods of production, distribution and management, the realization of the duty which devolves up on each and every Stockholder, and the proper consideration of the public's interest, by the management; the future success of the Hefflin Mfg. Co., is assured. This institution affords the most substantial foundation upon which our race can build and develop the greatest economic factor yet known.
Second Baptist Choir Thrills Big Audience
Madam Marie O. Jackson, directing the chorus of the "Second Baptist Church assisted by some of the best local talent from other churches of the city thrilled a large audience last Thursday evening.
"God of our Fathers" opened the program and it was indeed a noble song feast to the very closing rendition ensemble "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
While the entire program was a perfect presentation of some of the city's best trained musical talent; elegant touches of operatic style and ability added finish to Mine Jackson's presentation of the chorus in song, among which was "Chalipaine" from the Russian Opera; Richard Man's Bolga Boatman; "To the Hill" by Anna Mai Griffith, whose biro-like tones filled with volume, and sweetness brought to mind the days of Madam Hackley; a beautiful solo by Lorraine Winston; a comic reading by Emily Larkin; tenor solo by Geo. Jones who is easily the McCormack of his time and place; the sextette from "Luci di Lammermoor" led by Lillian Lucky Denkins; vocal trio. Belle Patton, Anna Topil, Myers; tenor solo by the silverton, Chas. White and a most pleasing organ solo by L. Harper Patterson.
Madam Jackson is to be congratulated upon the success of this noble presentation of her great Choir in Seng Recital.

J.O. Dudley Sweeps Last Barrier as he Wins Big Damage Suit
The aftermath of the sensational Dudley trial, which held State and Nation-wide interest last April, was the suit for $100,500 damages against J. O. Dudley, prominent tailor of 2812 South Central Avenue, and leading Deacon of the Second Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith Avenue, by Mrs. Lillian Lane of 1102 E. 20th Street, mother of Willie Armster who died from bullet wounds inflicted by Dudley. April 25th, when Armster entered Dudley's shop after threatening to kill him.
Attorney Willis O. Tyler, who successfully defended Dudley on the murder charge, before Judge Hardy also represented him in the damage suit held in Judge Claire S. Tappan's court November 6th and 7th.
This suit, instituted by Mrs. Lane, was on the complaint of wrongful death, and it was her contention that she was entitled to damages because of his death which resulted from a bullet shot by Dudley.
Dudley contended that Mrs. Lane was not entitled to damages and that Armster was shot in self defense.
This contention was the holding of the court when he found a decision in favor of Mr. Dudley.
This brings to a close the sensational Dudley case. Mr. Dudley was acquired of the killing by a jury of his peers, and now has been further vindicated by a verdict in the civil suit just concluded before Judge Tappan.
The Unfair, Un-American and Unjust Methods Resorted to by Los Angeles Police to the Apex Nite Club is Resented by All Fair Minded Citizens
HEARING ON REVOKING PERMIT POSTPONED FOR ONE WEEK
(BY: J. B. BASS)
which was scheduled to take place before Tuesday was postponed for one week next Tuesday at 2 P. M. This action, missioner Thorpe, who had been out of town who had not had the opportunity to stand as a consequence asked for the prize as the animus, hate, prejudice and the drastic procedure, which would require employment more than 150 persons and ensure has reached the high water mark no hesitancy in voicing their protest the police, in their avaricious desire to rob behind the campaign to close the Apex (excepting the Cossack Police) that this progressive and forward looking citizens can, with immunity, be the same conditions of any other rumiliation and gross mistreatment in Hagar of the Newton Street Division of AMUSEMENT conducted by one.
NOT ONE CAN SAY NAUGHTY ONE PERSON who can say that the plane and furnishes music unexcellent. There is NOT ONE who can gain in be put on anywhere and any place under the direction of Curtis Mosby.
AIN HAGAR'S REPORT CANNOT be trusted to save the written report of Carn Street Station is an insult to his frequented by lovely characters." Of fact the Apex Nite Club is frequent in entire country of all races. It is pride take, their visiting friends from considered a rare treat by all concern has taken his friends from Eastern cli greater show and entertainment than cage.
I believe that Captain Hagar means the Police Commission, but we do be obeying some command invisible, now of things. Added to him on numerous occasions and in general his attitude toward by our group was eminently fair. And our understanding.

Those likewise journey there, for it is their producer, the brilliant theatrical star, week an entertainment which oftin' off the boards. Music, Art, Custin island, draws the best people of all con assertion that it is frequented by the club speaks for itself as furnishing an or one furnished anywhere else in this great civil citizens are proud of it and of it by the whole-hearted support given of his race and likewise by the justice-loving members of the white
The hearing which was scheduled to take place before the Police Commission on last Tuesday was postponed for one week, and will therefore be held on next Tuesday at 2 P. M. This action was taken at the request of Commissioner Thorpe, who had been out of the city for the past 10 days and who had not had the opportunity of going over the papers in the case and as a consequence asked for the postponement.
In the meantime as the animus, hate, prejudice and self-aggrandizement actuating the drastic procedure, which would ruthlessly throw out of legitimate employment more than 150 persons and their dependents, indignation and censure has reached the high water mark and the people of all classes have no hesitancy in voicing their protest against the high handed action of the police, in their avaricious desire to crucify one particular Night Club.
The animus behind the campaign to close the Apex is so patent, that all hands agree (excepting the Cossack Police) that it is a shame and disgrace that in this progressive and forward looking community that a race of law-abiding citizens can, with immunity, be denied the same privileges under the same conditions of any other race, without being subjected to the humiliation and gross mistreatment as sought by the request of Captain Hagar of the Newton Street Division to close up the ONLY PLACE of AMUSEMENT conducted by one of this group in the entire city.
NOT ONE CAN SAY NAUGHT
There is not ONE PERSON who can say that the Apex is not conducted on a high plane and furnishes music unexcelled by any other place in the nation. There is NOT ONE who can gainayse that the very best show that can be put on anywhere and any place cannot be found at the Apex, all under the direction of Curtis Moshy, likewise the best entertainers.
CAPTAIN HAGAR'S REPORT CANNOT STAND
We are prepared to say the written report of Captain Hagar, commander of Newton Street Station is an insult to his constituency when he says:
"It is a place frequented by locally characters."
As a matter of fact the Apex Nite Club is frequented by the very best citizens of this entire country of all races. It is a show place and many citizens with pride take their visiting friends from the East to the Apex, which is considered a rare treat by all concerned.
This writer has taken his friends from Eastern climes and they have pronounced it a greater show and entertainment than can be found in New York or Chicago.
Now we don't believe that Captain Hagar meant what he wrote in that report to the Police Commission, but we do believe that he was either dreaming or obeying some command invisible to us or to all of those not in the know of things.
We have talked to him on numerous occasions and he told us the Apex was O. K., and in general his attitude toward legitimate propositions conducted by our group was eminently fair. And now the sudden change is beyond our understanding.
Those who appreciate and enjoy real musical ability, instrumental or vocal wend their way to the far famed Apex. Those who enjoy a show with class and pep likewise journey there, for it is there that Curtis Mosby and his co-producer, the brilliant theatrical star, Mildred Washington, put on each week an entertainment which oftimes backs even the Orpheum Circuit off the boards. Music, Art, Cusine prepared by the best chefs in the land, draws the best people of all classes to the Apex and therefore the assertion that it is frequented by the lowest characters is a slander indeed.
The Apex Club speaks for itself as furnishing an evening's entertainment as cannot be furnished anywhere else in this great Western country. The Colored citizens are proud of it and of its outstanding proprietor as evidenced by the whole-hearted support given to him by 99 per cent of the members of his race and likewise by the same ratio of the fair-minded and justice-loving members of the white race.
WILL RECEIVE A FAIR TRIAL
citizens appreciate the most is that the trial before the Board of Police Con- tine system of yesterday is gone force Commission they are not coming be mapped out by some invisible force forcing for no special consideration, but showing made, to disregard the law, but at the sam cause someone else violated the law, using the sinister forces and underha
What our citizens appreciate the most is that the Apex will receive a fair and square trial before the Board of Police Commissioners. They feel that the old time system of yesterday is gone forever and when they come before the C commission they are not coming before a fixed body, with a program mapped out by some invisible force to go by. They are asking for no special consideration, but just an ordinary square deal on the showing made.
They ask not to disregard the law; but at the same time do not want to be crucified because someone else violated the law.
The Apex sensing the sinister forces and underhanded methods of a hostile enemy to destroy them, no doubt will be on the job every minute of the time henceforth, in seeing that everyone who enters and leaves its portals shall obey the law in so far as it is humanly possible.
WHO WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY?
Now, enemies want to put this business institution out of business. They want the Police Commission and the Courts to rake out the Chestnuts for them. Aside from this the "thundering herd of Cossack Police" are lined up in mass formation to put the evidence before the Commission. With great gusto they are coming forward to tell of 73 arrests made in the Apex and along Central avenue during the present years.
This would be less than 1 person in a thousand for during the same period of time 74000 persons have visited and paid admission to the Apex Club, and if this is all they can show, we submit this is a record to be proud of.
Announcing the coming of the Grand Exalted Ruler, Hon J. Finley Wilson, G. E. R. of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. Dec. 29, 1929.
Of the many fraternal organization which have provoked comment and attention the I. B. P. O. E. of W. has certainly taken their place as one of the most progressive fraternal organizations known in the civilized world.

Gus Sonnenberg is still the world's best heavyweight wrestler. Sonny is the champ because he got the breaks of the match in the last and deciding fall of the set to. The match was a fast one from start to finish with the exception of a few minutes before the first fall and the boys were feeling each other out and Strangler wasn't taking any changes whatsoever with the champions famous football hold, the flying tackle.
CHAMPION WINS FIRST FALL
The champ took the first fall with his jacket. He dived around the ring and on the outside of it for some time. Beloved Gus scored with fall number one Lewis was clamming on head look after headlook and it looked as if the champ was going by the way of no harm for a while there but Gus came out of all of those headlooks and gave Lewis the works with his diving tacket when Ed least expected
ROUGH SECOND FALL
The second fall was a rough one inneed. Gus persisted in flying through the ropes, when he missed his tackle. Lewis was taking no chances whatsoever in deserting Gus like nobody's business, and running headlocks when he could catch up with him.
GOES TO ROPES
The going pot so rough for the chamo after the first fall he had to go to the ropes time after time, amid the jeers of the packed house that immede every possible corner in the Grand Avenue fistic palace.
GOES OUT FOR FIFTEEN
Just before the Strangler put the headboard on that won the second fall. Butting Girs went out on his head in the first row of seats, he was out about fifteen seconds and was easy for the fall that Lewis put on him.
GUS WINS THIRD
For a time it looked as if the Lewis man was going to win his title back, but the breaks were against him. After coming out for the third and deciding fall, the Strangler put on headlocks and more of the same until he had the champ in a bad way and no less.
Just as Lewis was ready to put on the lock that would have done the trick his arms slipped off of Gus head and he crashed to the canvas all but out. It was no job at all for the champ to fall on him, for the last and deciding fall.

(Continued from Page One)
**THROWN OUT OF RING**
Just the other day Godfrey was thrown out of a ring in the East, because he wasn't trying. George was fighting Jimmy Byrne, a fighter that doesn't come anywhere near being in his class. The Shadow has knocked out this same Jimmy Byrne in seven rounds just before he came West to put up his fiance, with Long Tom Hawkins at the Grand Avena fasti house. At no time during the first battle did Bryne have a chance with the Black Shadow, and no w George is thrown out of a ring for not trying with a man that he could knock out in a minute if he wanted to.
FOULED·HAWKING
And the tide he the his
heavy's record his l long trough of fouls.
And the blackest mark on the big heavy's recount i hi long tring of fouls. He, probably has more fouls on his record than any other tighter in the game today. but is another easy way of getting out of his task without being thrown out of the ring.
NO EXCUSE FOR FOULING
There is no excuse whatsoever for fouling and the way George Godfrey does it is a caution. In the Hawkins first both or the men fouled and Hawkins happened to Toul first, but that was no excuse for Godfrey fouling, for I will not lie! I have that Long, Tom, that is the Shadow's class at all. This has been proven by the knockout Hawkins suffered at the hands of Bearcat Wright of Omaha.
Another concrete example of fouling where it wasn't necessary was the Chuck Wiggins battles. In the first set-to Godfrey fouled out to Chuck, because he didn't feel like fighting that night. In the second go George knocked him out in seven rounds with ease, after giving him a terrific beating for six rounds. And for the second and most important reason is that if Godfrey would, only take stock of himself and take the game as he should, he would realize that he has everything a heavyweight needs and could beat the first run of heavies with ease—if he wanted to. But he doesn't want to, he likes to play around and is nothing more than that. Just a big play boy.
JONES AND FIELDS
While they are talking about matching Fields, and Jimmy McLarian in such strong end box car numbers, with both factions wanding the long end of the dough, why forget that boy that gave Fields the fight of his life up in San Francisco—Gorilla Jones.
Although the champ got the duke, most of the experts from the northern bay district thought the black boy from the rubber center had the edge over the king of the wetlands. As has been state in these columns before, it the boat had been held in the East Jones would have won with no questions involved.
ZORRILLA ON TOP
Santiago Zorrilla, the little Panamanian flash, is, in the top again. Zorrilla is fighting for Jack the Dempsey in Chi this Friday night and he takes on that blond terror Bud Taylor again.
The brown flash has beaten Taylor and should do it again. Both of the boys have slipped since they met last, but Taylor has been in the game longer than the brown boy and has had a chance to slip a little further than Santiago.
Right after the Taylor fight "One Shot Ross's" boy jumps back to take on Joey Sanger on the 17th here in Los Angeles.
IT'S COMING NEWSIES
One hundred are wanted at once to start training for the annual boxing carnival to be staged at the Main Street Gymnasium to aid the Newsboy Thanksgiving Dinner Fund.
Promoter Carlo Curtis hopes to produce more Fidel LaBarbas, Mushy Callhans, and Abie Millers.
All are graduates from the newsie ranks of Los Angeles.
Two became world's ring champions, LaBarba and Callhann and one is national amateur flyweight champion, Young Abie.
Promoter Curtis, who used to hold down his "corner" started the Thanksgiving Dinner for newsboys eight years ago.
Today the affair is recognized as a regular civic event and has the cooperation of the City from Mayor John Porter on through the City Hall.
Funds derived from the newsboys boxing show and from donations furnishes the money to buy the carload of turkeys, necessary to feed the little army.
Jack Doyle has been the chief sponsor of the program from the beginning. Another steady helper during the eight years is "Deacon" Pyle, Cash and Carry.
"These newsbys put on the greatest fights I've ever watched," says Doyle. "If all my fights were as good as those the kids stage I'd be more satisfied."
Curtis started out with a coop of Gobblers eight years ago.—"Turkeys boys Turkeys."
The event has grown until he has to buy a carload of the best cornified turkeys that money can buy.—"I mean."
Added sponsors this year are Tom Gallery, Frank Moran, Ray Blumenthal, Gene Doyle, Dan Tobey and Abe Roth.
The exact date of the boxing carnival will be announced later. This is the first call to arms for newsboy fighters to start doing extra roadwork.

CHORUS FAST MOVING
The chorus as usual is at its very best. The girls were beautifully gowned and stepped along at a pace that made the show more showy. Miss Washington, co-producer with Mr. Mosky has a specialty number with the chorus that is typical of Milford Washington numbers, the very best.

Curtis Mosby the genial manager and producer of the Apex Night Club has produced some teams that have proved to be famous, but never before has he produced a team that compares with the now famous Anderson
PRESENT; BAND GOES WILD
Brothers-Jones team. Gus Jones and the brothers have an act this week that is on a par with their famous world series baseball game and the base ball sketch was voted the best ever out on at the club.
The boys do a cap shooting act this time that has the guests falling out of their cheers with laughter. It is a real side-splitting comedy and no less. Eddie Anderson and Gus Jones as the bold bad gamblers with G. Anderson as the hard-bolled cap is a scream.
This number is a show in itself.
AT THE END OF THE ROAD
The one Ivy Anderson does "At the End of the Road." Ivy has a pair of beautiful silk overalls that offset her golden brown skin to a far-thee-well. And take it from me Ivy is the real Ivy. Incidentally, we might as well let you know that the costumes this week are the most beautiful ever seen at the Apex.
DRINARD TRIO STARS
The Drinard Trio hailed throughout the country as Vodville's best dancing team lived up to their names and no less. The weaker sex of the trio do a rope dancing number that cannot be beat, no matter where you look.
The male gender in the team comes through with flying colors in his specialty tap number.

~ DR. H.-H. FOWLES: J am surprised that such methods lave
been resorted to to bamper a business sinsply because it is conducted by
@ Colored citizen.
» JAMES A. WARREN: Mosby is nota man who would for a mo-
ment countenance law violations, be is for law and order. . The effort to
close him is q disgrace. ’
CURTIS CARPENTIER: /t would be a burning shame to close
Oe apes upon the flimsy and unjust charges and spectacular raids of the
Police. ‘
MRS. LULU SLAUGHTER: The Apex employs more Colored
people than any other institution conducted by our group. If the white
fuiks close it on the protest of a few disgruntled camplaints, what are
they going to do with them? «
NORMAN ©. HOUSTON: Not only shameful but a travesty on
Justice would be the closing of the Apex. \Curtis Mosby, its, mener, is
one of our mosi substantial and enterprising business men. 1 man of

“FORGIVE| THEM FATHER THEY KNOW NOT
WHAT THEY Do”
‘Then trailing along comes the usual category of those of our own
group and who make|up the less than | per cent of the opposition, they
areithe political parasites, shysters and grafters with hands out looking
to profit upon some dhe person’s misfortune.
‘Then will come those who have not essayed to even complain to the
management of the Apex about the conditions of noise and of patrons
leaving the club-with their automobiles, and the trail of empty flasks, but
who would ruthlessly pitch out of employment more than 150 persons
by joining in with the Cossack Police, who.constantly have their heels
upon the necks of ea people. Thank God, these are few in number.
It’s the same old story and we suppose ever will be, as when our
people were in chains and cringed as they masters crackéd their whips.
When they would segretly hold meetings to break their chains and ¢>-
cape perhaps by way! of the Underground Railway there would always
be someone who would betray them and keep them in their chains.
Now. these 150 ar more persons peacefully employed with their de-
pendents secure for the time being are about to make the grade. It is
inconceivable but true, we have members of our own group who would
icin hands with the Cossack Police and the 8 or 9 other Nite Clubs tq
put their own people|on the streets.
We will always have these forces; but the time hay come for ihe
wheels of progress ta keep moving forward. and like the Danes, who
in time of war would destroy the hearing of their horses that they would
not become affrighted in battle, we must turn a deaf ear to all forces
which wotld retard progress afd move on to a glorious victory
In other words, the nobler sons of America have said to the waves
of persecution and ragial strife, thus far and no further—Humanity, re-
turning to first principles. at the altar of truth will bow; the sable sons
of earth shall be called byother, and the story of how he arose to a high-
er estate will be the theme of dreamers who write the truths, which out-
do fiction by its strangeness.
The following are a few of our representative citizens and brief ex-
oressions upon the untaie persectition of the Apex Club and its owner.
Curtis Mosby |
DR ALPERT BAUMANN: / thik it a reflection upon the great
ctty.of Los Angeles that such a creditable amusement house and its owit
wv should be so rerseruted.
FATHER W. TP CLEGHORN: Pet me down as one who beter
it would be an everlasting disgrace te revoke Mosby's permil, He stands
ont as one of our most valuable citizens
DR. FRANK GORDON: /t's a shame and disgrace and I doit? be-
Herve cur Police Commission will stand for it
DROTL CG. HUDSON: Put me down against any such methods to
wervek-any person's business and especially where it puts so many people
one of work.

BEAUTIFUL WED
DING SOLEMNIZED
In the pretty parlor of the pictures que, Spanish type home of the priest of the Santa Monica Catholic Church Miss Aldometer Turnbull of Los Angeles, daughter of Mr. John Turnbull and the late Mrs. Ella Lyons Turnbull of Baton Rouge, La., became the bride of Huterkut Simon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Simon of Santa Monica, Cal. Monday evening, October 21st at seven o'clock with Father Eley officiating.
The bride, given in marriage by her uncle, Mr. Arthur Jones, wore a flowing gown of ivory satin crepe made basque effect, drape softly at the waist line, with a deep V neck at the back filled with lovely hand-drawn lace. The sleeves were long and snug fitting. The circular skirt with a circular flounce that ran up in front and down in the back, fell with graceful faring lines from the slender form of the bride. A bow of same material was placed at a graceful angle at the back of the basque. Hep beautifully embroidered lace veil was attached to a close fitting cap of orange blossoms, and she carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses, lilies of the valley and sweet peas. Mrs. Elise Grass Tate, as matron of honor, was lovely in a shell pink princess, sat gown and carried a bouquet of pink roses, gardenias and sweet peas. Mr. George Liane, of Santa Monica, handsome in a black tuxedo was best man.
A reception followed the ceremony at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones, 843 E. 32nd St. Los Angeles. The house was beautifully decorated with roses, dahlias, chrysanthemums and ferns, the artistic taste of Mr. Ralph Porter. More than two hundred guests were present.
The young couple is now happily located in a cozy little bungalow at Santa Monica, where they will be glad to receive their many friends.
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Morris and Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Evans entertained about 200 guests at the La Vada Apts. 249 E. Vernon on Friday, Nov. 8, with a beautiful dancing party.
The Benjamin Orchestra furnished music supreme.

Anniversary Edition Prospects Encouraging
Anniversary Edition Prospects Encouraging
Public interest thus manifested in the Fiftieth Anniversary Number of THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE has inspired the Eagle Club to augment its plans and issue a publication fuller and more complete than those originally initiated. This same increasing interest may be an incentive to the release of a year book unequalled by any group of Race folk in the United States.
A special feature of the number will be a complete directory of all business enterprises operated by Negroes in the city, giving name, location and telephone number. This feature alone makes it invaluable to every home or place of business. Before our solicitors can even get started, already scores of applications for space in the directory or "Blue Book" section are pouring into the office, and those who fail to take advantage of this feature will regret it in after years. Get your copy ready and if the representatives are too long getting around to you, phone The Eagle, VAndike 9244, as the forms will close real soon on this section and it is our aim to not miss a single Negro enterprise from the smallest to the greatest.

LOS ANGELES FORUM NEWS
ED
Mr. Lloyd Griffith was the principal speaker at the Forum last Sunday, and made quite an impression in his masterly address. His subject was, "If we could see ourselves as others see us." He was at his best. Next Sunday, November 17th, Prof. T. A. Green, one of the Charter members of the Forum, and Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of this city who has just returned from a extended visit through the South and East, will be with us to make a short talk. While away he had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Jarrett the Mother of Mr. Perrett who was Secretary of the Forum for over twelve years. At his death he left a very valuable Library. The Forum was fortunate to be in a position to purchase the same and donate it to the Y. M. C. A. of which Mr. Green is the honored Secretary. Mr. Green has a message from that Grand Old Mother who requested him to deliver to the Forum.
Come out and hear Prof. Green.
His work in building up the Y. M. C.
A. is one of the outstanding achievements
of his splendid christian lift in
doing something for the up building
of humanity.

Mississippi Man Hunt Ends Fruitless
Mississippi Man Hunt Ends Fruitless
Clarksonale, Miss. Nov. 12.—A manhunt which has been under way between Webb and Ruleville under the direction of Tallahatchie and Boliver county officers is reported to have been given up for the present, but the officers have notified the authorities in several adjoining counties to be on the lookout for Tom Jackson, who shot and killed his wife. Will Webb, father of Jackson's wife, and his son joined officers in the chase for the fleeing Negro, who is armed with a pumpgun.
THINK MAN POISON VICTIM
Jones, Ark., Nov. 13—By A.N.P.—Officers are working diligently to determine whether or not the death of Donnie McLean, who died here Tuesday morning, was due to natural causes or poisoning. 'McLean was taken ill a few days ago with a strange stomach illness. He was rushed to the hospital where he was operated on but to no avail. The attending surgeon ocelared that the man's intestines was in stitch bad condition that it was impossible to save his life.
The surgeon's statement and the suddenness and strangness of the alliment have given rise to the belief that McLean was poisoned by some enemy of his and this viewpoint is shared in by officers and relatives of the deceased. A thorough examination will be made and all of his known enemies will be brought in for questioning according to information leaking out of the police headquarters Wednesday morning.

Rev. T. F. Jones, Pastor
Rev. T. P. Jones, Pastor
The Sunday School had a splendid attendance. At eleven o'clock the pastor preached, using as a subject: "Universal Peace." The practical applications made by the Pastor in dealing with this great subject, was greatly enjoyed by the congregation.
In the evening the Pastor preached, using as a subject "Christians Encouraged to expect final salvation." There were two additions to the Church at the morning service."
The Choir rendered splendid music at each of the services.

If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened
Getting Gertie's Garter
LAURA BOWMAN IN CURRENT
STAGE ATTRACTION AT LINCOLN STEALS THE SHOW'
A Laugh From Start to Finish in Musical Comedy
"Getting Gertie's Garter" was some little problem.
If you have seen the current stage hit at the Lincoln Theatre, you know why, if you haven't you should. You will laugh as you never have before.
Laura Bowman as Aileen the housekeeper for a pair of newlyweds, that hope to spend the first night alone stops the show oad. As said time and time again there is only one Laura Bowman and there will never be another like her. Miss Bowman was supposed to have reached her highest when playing in "Hit the Deck," but as Aileen, Laura is unsurpassable. She just can't be beat.
SONG HITS
The heavy set star did two musical numbers, "Mechanical- Man" and "He's So Unusual." It was a problem to choose between the two songs, both were sung as only Laura can do them.
REAL COMEDY
This is a real comedy this week if there ever was one.
It is a story of a young couple that have just been married and pull a getaway from the bridal party to spend the night alone. The new bride is taken by Evelyn Preer and the groom's part is portrayed by Andrew Bishop.
Before Gertie married Teddy Darling (Andrew Bishop) she was given a diamond studded garter with the donor's photo surrounded by diamonds.
Gertie thought she was in love with the giver, Ken Walrick (Lionel Monagas) but it proved afterwards to be nothing more than a passing fancy.
Ken marries in the meantime; and his wife hears of the garter given to Gertie. Ken tries his best to get the garter back without his wife knowing about it, but fails.
It so happens that instead of the bridal party being alone on their honeymoon they are beset with a gang of the bridal party all on the quest of finding and getting Gertie's Garter.
THERESA BROOKS GOOD
Theresa Brooks as the neglected wife makes life miserable for everyone concerned and tries her best to beat her husband to the garter.
The writer could tell you who got the garter and how and why the newly-weds were alone on their honeymoon, but that would spoil a great show.
Go and see it!
SENSATIONAL DRAMA, "HER LOVE CHILD" AT LINCOLN MONDAY-PRICES CUT
In an effort to put the finest of race drama within the reach of all, the management has announced that effective with the current offering, prices at the Lincoln Theatre will be materially reduced.
The new schedule of prices call for a sixty cent top, the sixty cent seats being in the first sixteen rows of the main floor. The balance of the main floor and the entire first balcony will be sold at fifty cents. Second balcony seats will be priced at twenty-five cents. All main floor and first balcony seats are reserved.
Under the new schedule, all main floor seats will be seventy-five cents on Sundays, holidays and at midnight matinees, with first balcony seats selling for sixty cents and second balcony tickets priced at forty cents for these performances.
All seats will be priced at forty cents for Saturday, Sunday and holiday matinees with children being admitted for fifteen cents at all performances.
Co-incident with the announcement of the new price scale, Manager Carpenter announced that the next offering of the Lafayette Players, which will start on Monday night will be the sensational New York success, "Her Love Child."
Daring in the extreme, this show will offer to Evelyn Preer, one of the greatest opportunities of her career and it is expected that a new record will be established during the run of this production.
The story deals with the various hypocrisies of society which are carried on under the name of birth control with the moral that anything goes as long as one is not found out.
Andrew Bishop will be seen as the doctor who refuses to be a party to a crime while Laura Bowman, as the mother who looks askance at girls whose indescreations have been found out, but who aids and abets the troubles of other girls who come to her for aid until her own daughter becomes enmeshed in a situation which threatens to bring disgrace upon her family, will have an unusually fine role.

BOULDER DAM AND NEG.....
Out of the controversy concerning
the development of the Boulder Dam
and the harnessing of this important
stream for public and domestic purposes grows the question of Municipal
and Government ownership of public
utilities.
We are living in an age when despite the Sherman Anti-Trust Law enacted some years ago for the protection of the small man in business, there is evidence of a concentrated effort on the part of big business to either drive out or at least control and stifle competition by not only buying the small fellow out and too the large concerns willing to dispose of their business but through powerful subsidiary channels to purchase, own and control public utilities such as our phone systems, gas and electricity, and water systems as well as that of transportation involving local, state and interstate.
Much propaganda is being expended by those seeking control to gain converts in the shape of voters to get over their propositions.
We have always felt that Municipal ownership of public utilities was to have a fair chance to live and grow, industrially speaking and market their products at a low but profitable price. We mentioned the Southern California Edison Co., last week as an example of how the public was being exploited. To this we might add the Southern California Telephone Co. A few years ago Los Angeles had two telephone systems, the Home Telephone Co., and the Southern California and enjoyed low rates and good service. Agitation was started to the effect that two companies occupying the same territory was extravagant and that if the companies were allowed to consolidate, that is if one was permitted by Legislation to consume the other that it would be unnecessary to maintain two phones in business and the domestic home would have better service at cheaper rates.
A measure was placed upon the ballot at election time and the voting public granted, the telephone interest the right to consolate and the only thing the public got for granting this favor was practically a double increase in rates and poorer, instead of improved service.
These examples together with others one might offer give one an insight into the value of Municipal ownership. Los Angeles despite constructed criticism as through the channels of Municipal ownership served its citizens well and is making a gallant fight against great odds not only to maintain its favorable status but to expand its water and electric power holdings so its growth might not be hampeled.
Back behind this fight lies the power of the ballot. The most powerful weapon to be had in deciding issues of this nature. And since the Negro has a voice in the wielding of the weapon it might be well for him to first intelligently consider the issues before him and weigh his vote before casting it blindly.
Many readers of this article have wondered just why the Negro was included in the subject. In our next issue we hope to be able to intelligently take up and present to the public our views.

(1bv: A. N. P.)
Newark, N. J., Nov. 6.—After failing miserably in a fist fight with four Negroes, two white men injected an automobile into the frady and bowled over their adversaries and a policeman.
The policeman was brought into the melee when he acting in line of duty approached dthe battle while fists were being used. The white men made their escape and the colored fighters were explaining the case to the office at the police box when the whites returned in an automobile and ran over the entire group.
The officer commanded a passing car and caught the whites who gave their names as Julius Kisky and Edward Brady. They were held on charges of assault with an automobile. The colored men and the officer suffered minor injuries.
Chicago Negroes May Be Forced Into New Political Allignment
Chicago. Nov. 13-By A.N.P.—although there were no Negroes running for office at last Tuesday election in this city, the results are expected to have an important effect on the future political status of the Negro in this city.
The Thompson faction of the Republican Party, with which most of the Negro leaders and voters have been affiliated and have voted to support, suffered another setback Tuesday in a contest to elect twenty judges to the Superior Court and two to the Circuit Court.
A combination of the Democrats and the Deneen Republicans was responsible for the defeat of the Thompsonites.
As usual, however, the Negro wards were rather heavily for the Thompson

slate, the overwhelming victory of the Denver-Democratic ticket being won in white wards which have deserted "Big Bill."
An important election is to be held in April. In the campaign which leads up to that day the different tensions are expected to come to death grips. The Thompsonites are determined to hold on to their last bit of remaining prestige and, if possible, to build upon it. The Demonstrators, aided and abetted by the Democrats, would like to see Thompsonites completely destroyed in April. It is perhaps going to be necessary for them to center their attack in the Thompson Negro strongholds. Thompson's white supporters have fled from him within the last two years, but he still hold the win hand among the colored voters. Whether, finding that the Thompson ship is sinking, they will flee, remains to be seen.
One can be sure that all of the Negro leaders will try to find their followers where there are going to be the most jobs. It looks like Deneen is going to have the big patronage offices, he will get the vote. As long as Thompson controls thousands of pay envelopes, he will get a large vote. Very little can be said about what the Negro leaders are going to do, therefore, until there is some assurance of what the white leaders will do. As matters now stand, Louis B. Anderson, Oscar DePriet, and Bishop A. J. Carey are holding up the Thompson standard in their wards, and Edward H. Wright, and Warren B. Doughnell, the Deneen flag.
DoPriest is preparing for a fight with Roscoe Simmons to hold his seat in Congress. Simmons is spreading his affability all through the district, but no one is yet able to determine its sticking qualities. DoPriest, accepting the endorsement of his organization for another term a few nights ago, is thought to have been shaking his first at Simmons in some remarks he made. If the two fight each other, it is expected to be a hard, dirty fight. There also may

be other important candidates. Edward Wright, whom many Negroes have said they would have liked to see in Congress, is known to be opposed to DePriest. Simmons says he has Wright's enmorsement as Dawn committeeman, but Wright says he has given no endorsement to anyone. He may do so and it may not be either Simmons or DePriest. In such a case, matters would be further complicated.
Judge: Albert George who was placed on the beach through the powerful influence enjoined by Wright in 1921 comes in for reelection next year. The Judge has teed as clear factual politics as possible since elected, but he will be forced out into the open in the going. Whether he will line himself up with Wright, the man who is given the credit for nursing him, or the Thou must forces now opposed, by Wright, is a more eagerly waited for by the politician.
Washington (By A.N.P.)—Both the army air corps and the navy are find the shortage of pilots one of the perplexing problems of their aviation expansion programs. Nearly 300 men are needed at once. That this shortage offers a possible opportunity to colored flyers has been pointed out by men interested in the development of colored pilots. There are now aviation schools in Kansas, Ohio, am, California, which accept colored students in their courses.

"Provide a home" in the United States has become something more than a house, some furnishings and two store accounts, in fact the average home of today boasts of more conveniences, more luxuriant furniture and many more luxuries than the best homes in the smaller cities and towns of a score of years age.
A bungalow or a "parlor, bedroom and bath" meant one thing with the last generation but means quite another thing with the present. There is more for contrast than comparison. So revolutionary has been the advancement in the American standards of living that there is little solace for the young men and women who today embark upon the sea of matrimony in such a frail craft as "thirty-a-week" and one payment down on the furniture. Even the old-timer are finding themselves daunted by the new domestic demands.
How dazzled would our ancestors be upon entering a middle-class home of today with its overstuffed furniture, fine rugs, tasteful mural furnishings, pianos and phonographs, perhaps a radio, fine table service, relatively large libraries and with a garage, fine automobile in the back-yard. Surely not without less cause than for common folks of today to be dazzled by the luxuriance of a millionaire's mansion or a king's palace.
There seems little foundation for the oft-repeated lamentation that the American home is losing its attraction. On the other hand there are few today who can see where the home of the nineties or the early twentieth century possessed any attraction other than as the traditional place to eat and sleep. But then the home detractions have undoubtedly progressed step-for-step with the home attractions.
Why shouldn't the American people be the most contented, the most peaceful, the most ambitious and the most enlightened people in the world with such home surroundings?

Some day somebody somewhere will be moved to utter a warning against the unlicensed multiplication of legal holidays. The more holidays we get, the less inclined people are to take them seriously. A few enthusiastically observed would be better for the object intended than many indifferently celebrated or neglected altogether.
New Year long ago lost its significance for most people. Even the public schools usually do not close for Lincoln's birthday or for Columbus day. Comparatively few observe Thanksgiving as a religious festival. Even Memorial day has become more a touring and outing occasion than one for remembering those who saved the Union.
If legal holidays are to be merely occasions for escaping work they might as well be distributed evenly through the year. It would simplify matters, for instance, to have a specified day of every month made a legal holiday, taking its name in case from some historic anniversary occurring within the month.
Who will be first seriously to suggest a revision of holiday schedules in the interests of a harassed and confused mankind?
ROMANCES OF ADVERTISING
There is an almost endless virtual production and superlative prosaic slogan, "It pays to advert not always substantiated by subs tees do not always hold water, I found in which "advertising does industry, what rainfall is to farr ness. Advertising is as necessa te the railroads. Speak of goodwill in business
There is an almost endless story of great achievement, actual production and superlative performance back of that now prosaic slogan, "It pays to advertise." Slogans in business are not always substantiated by subsequent events, just as guarantees do not always hold water, but the business has not been found in which "advertising does not pay." What epitalal is to industry, what rainfall is to farm soil, advertising is to business. Advertising is as necessary to national distribution as the railroads.
Speak of goodwill in business and you really mean reputation. Reputation in modern business is attained only through the co-ordination of merit of product, scientific business methods and adequate advertising.
In 1886, 25 gallons of a soft drink syrup called Coca-Cola was sold for $25. From this sale the first Coca Cola advertisement was paid for. The original company sold its good will for $20,000,000.
Billions are spent with profit for advertising in the magazines and newspapers of this country annually. Once it was the custom to advertise new products in a usual way, increasing the advertising and broadening its scope as business results warranted. Today, where capital is available, there is no longer the cautious venturing into the water. Big business now strikes for the deep water first.
The first Wrigley's gum ad. cost $32—the company's entire capital. The Waterman fountain pen company started in business with a $62.52 publicity campaign, and the Hupp Motor Corporation with a $100.65 campaign. In 1890 the Borden Company appropriated $513.75 for advertising. All of these internationally known corporations now spend millions annually for advertising in newspapers, magazines and in other forms.
Mussolini is known as the "Duce." That may be suggestive also of the end to which his course is destined to lead.
A university announces a course in book selling. Huh! All there is to book selling is getting in. Once he is in, anyone will buy books from a book salesman to get rid of him.
L. A. FORUM HEARS MR. LLOYD GRIFFITH
Mr. Lloyd Griffith, one of our very amiable and at the same time eloquent and fluent speakers, truly a representative of the younger set, was the speaker for the Forum on last Sunday.
His subject "As Others See Us" was very adroitly handled and withal set the mind to active thought. One thing, all who heard him could not but appreciate that he made a very splendid presentation of his subject and this writer in prophecy will say this young man will be heard from in telling form in a not far distant future.
We would not for a moment subscribe to many things which he advocated and at the same time we could only admire him for saying the things which were upon his mind. Age and experience will doubtless iron out the high spots and misconceptions.
What we do say, this young man and others who are wont to step out, and discuss the issues which confront us, are due every consideration and encouragement which it is possible to give them.

Some very interesting happenings in the world of domestic politics the past week. Any number of municipal elections and one or two governorships, with the filling of a few congressional vacancies thrown in for good measure, made considerable activity for the "boys." In the majority of municipal elections the Democrats were successful. They also upset the hopes of the anti-Smith Hoovercrats in Virginia by giving them one of the worst political spankings. In New York, Mayor James Walker, Tammany, led his opponents so far that they cannot be classed even among the also ran. Herbert Delaney who was the Republican candidate for congress from the 21st district in New York, went under in the Tammany landslide which swept the city. A Negro woman and three councilman were elected in Cleveland, Ohio. The woman, Mrs. M. B. Martin, was elected to the Board of Education. It is, or seems to be, a queer twist in the mental psychology of the voters who are perfectly willing to trust their welfare to the Democrats in municipal affairs but balk when they aspire to control the destiny of the nation. Maybe that they are of the belief that the "Donkey" cannot carry as big load as the "Elephant." There is a lot in mental suggestion.
One other political happening that has stirred the pot is the stinging rebuke which President Hoover gave the "plum grabbers" in general and those of Florida in particular. It seems as if Fred Britten, secretary of the Republican State Committee of Florida, wrote in protest to the appointment of a District Federal Attorney, stating that the appointment had not had the approval of the Republican organization." The appointive responsibility rests in the President, not in the organization" was the blunt reply of the President. Continuing, he says, "I note your demands that the organization shall dictate appointments in Florida irrespective of merit or my responsibility, and that you appeal to the opponents of the Administration to attack me. I enclose herewith a copy of a statement which I issued last March. That statement was no idle gesture." The statement referred to, was his unwillingness to deal with the party organizations in Southern States where patronage abuses were tolerated. That is the only thing that has caused the internecine strive for party control in the South. The distribution of Federal patronage. Take that away, and as Will Rogers remarked about Virginia, they will all "return to normalcy."

thing of interest is the intentional on the name from the list of those invited to subassador Charles Dawes at the Exor Hiram Johnson, California. The number of the Foreign Relation Committee treaties and matters of foreign relations said that the President dispatched an occurrence. It is no political secret that between the senior California Sorcerer there is no one believes that it would be where an affront of that nature would just a few years back when the president State, California, was changed president. And some say, because of the hopes for a Negro assistant U. S. attorney with the appointment of A. Fill the place made vacant by the grandt. High hopes had been held inburg, Pa., would receive the plum, screed. That is about the last positive justice to be filled. That is the last in the few "Special" attorneyships dealt with the last important place.

At present, no matter how fierce hold by the appointive power that the advancement, or that there are no other department or on that commission as well as national politics. Of course for, so long will it continue.

By aggressively break down the barrier. By aggressively handling of something for which there separation. First: solidify your vote candidate thought the best. If you an another tact the second. Finally: EL "panhandlers and grafters" of a politic
The next thing of interest is the intentional or unintentional omission of the name from the list of those invited to the dinner given Ambassador Charles Dawes at the Executive mansion, of Senator Hiram Johnson, California. The Senator is a ranking member of the Foreign Relation Committee, which has the fate of all treaties and matters of foreign relations in their hands. It is said that the President dispatched an apology regretting the occurrence. It is no political secret that there is an estrangement between the senior California Senator and the President, but there is no one believes that it would reach such an acute stage where an affront of that nature would be given. We remember just a few years back when the political complexion of the State, California, was changed sufficient to elect a Democrat president. And some say, because of an affront to the Senator.
We see the hopes for a Negro assistant U. S. attorney general go glimmering with the appointment of A. Youngquist, Minnesota, to fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Wilderbrandt. High hopes had been held out that Bob Vann of Pittsburg, Pa., would receive the plum, but it was otherwise decreed. That is about the last position in the department of justice to be filled. That is the last important one. There may be few "Special" attorneyships dealt out but this appointment fills the last important place. We have no criticism to make of the non-appointment of persons because of color, but we hold that all else being equal that feature should be overlooked, and appointments made according to merit. It is a hard fight and is going to be a long fight to convince that color should be no bar to advancement in any field. Political or otherwise. At present, no matter how competent one may be, you are told by the appointive power that the time is not ripe for such advancement, or that there are no other persons of color in that department or on that commission. That applies to local as well as national politics. Of course: Just as long as it is stood for, so long will it continue. The one reason that Tammany has such a hold on the Negro vote is, that it is recognized as a factor and as such given due reward.
Although it has been rumored for some time that it was in the offing, the avowed candidacy of Ray Riley, present State Comptroller, for the governorship of California, created no little surprise. In political circles it is known that former governor Richardson has been combing the state for some man strong enough to make an opponent for the present encumbent. C. C. Young. Riley is the strongest available man and his bid for the governor's office will enliven matters. The present governor has made a splendid success. His administration has caused various improvements, both in the state government, and in physical betterments. If he "choose" to run again for the office it will take a very strong political opponent to unseat him. Like every other department of the State and National governments the appointive powers have the color complex. Once that is not tend to break down the barrier. By aggressiveness we do not tend to break down the barrier. By aggressiveness we mean the demanding of something for which there has not been the proper preparation. First: solidify your vote; second: cast it for the candidate thought the best. If you are fooled the first time try another tact the second. Finally: Eliminate from the ranks all "panhandlers and grafters" of a political nature.

Although the industrial East and the agricultural West are interdependent for the progress and wealth of the nation; some politicians will insist on differing the two and politically, setting them at each other's throats. The West is rapidly becoming industrialized as well as gricultural. Great industries are being built up because of the cheap facilities for power. Her mammoth stretches of fertile soil, sufficient to feed the world, gives added strength to her claim as the "Western Empire." But politics must have something to "football" with. For years they waved the "bloody shirt." Then they picked up the Negro problem and worked it until it fell to pieces through sheer use. The question of Labor then became a "burning" issue until the fire was quenched by Labor itself. Capital was the next bugaboo, and every man with a dollar above his actual needs was a cause for suspicion. That was, until everybody got to riding in automobiles and had a dollar extra in the bank. Now it is the industrial East vs. the agricultural West. Selah.
Adverse criticism has its value. Though many of us hate to have the mirror of truth held before us we can but deem it beneficial. For one thing: This pressing home to the bosom of the Negro the dart of adverse criticism has caused him to become more inclined to look within and find out whether or no this criticism is merited. Having done this he shows a greater desire to use corrective methods and reach for the more cultured things in life. He is developing originality and creativeness. Less imitation: This is as it should be. If we are to be a distinctive people, a distinctive character must be developed; a distinctive culture created and a distinctive contribution made toward the artistic, and industrial progress of the nation. Nor must it be forgot that honest toil and a high plane in the realm of artizanship have their place in the lives of successful peoples.
Some men will be averse to the decree of the Parisian modiste that skirts shall be of ankle length. It might create international difficulties by periling the freedom of the "sees."

THE CASE OF OUR BABIES
I was so sorry that poor "Plain Faets" fell by the wayside last week. Especially did I feel embarassed when a lady on the West side" said to me on Tuesday. "Doctor Temple I certainly did enjoy the article which spoke of 'Marrying for Love.' I read your column every week, and I am so anxious to hear about the issue says." Then I had to tell you that the new babies and heavy operations, and unusually long hospital hours had made it impossible for me to write for that particular issue.
"SHALL WE HAVE A MEDICAL EXAMINATION BEFORE MARRIAGE?"
We consider that we have before us an ideal couple. They have not only tried to be certain that they "truly love" each other but they have tried to look deeper and further and determine whether each possessed those starling characteristics worthy of solid friendship between them through the harsh years ahead. More than this, they have gone a thousand steps farther than the average "sentibil" couple, they have in their selection of each other considered the well-fare of their posterity. They have both had a medical examination prior to their marriage.
The subject of a medical examination prior to marriage is a VERY serious one. And is a subject which should be looked at thoughtfully from every angle, before any couple marries. There are 3 health questions to settle. What will be the result to the health of the girl if she marries this man? What will be the result to the health of the man? If he marries this girl? What will be the result to the health of their posterior consequent to their union? To me personally the esthetic phase of the plan for medical examinations is not pleasant. It seems, essentially considered, an infringement on the beauty and romance of marriage. But my dear friend, it is sad to say, that marriage is for more than Romance!
MARRIAGE MORE THAN ROMANCE
Yes marriage is more than Romance and why these almost homely, but intensely proximal phases are omitted from the plans for marriage, we soon find out that marriage is more than romance; because in a dreadfully short time, marriage, romance, and all are ready to fall to pieces. So while it would be a delight to preserve the romance, and ignore, and shim the more homely proximal side of the union, for the good of all concerned persons with common sense are doing this less and less.
WARNED NOT TO MARRY
WARNED NOT TO MARRY
I saw today a young woman whose life illustrated clearly just this point. On the day set for her wedding she fainted. The man to whom she was engaged insisted that she consult a doctor. She did so, and she consulted a good one at that. She went to Dr. Leonard Stovall, and was advised that her health was such that marriage with its attendant responsibilities would be very dangerous to her. She had all plans made for a big wedding for that very nite. It was "too late" to change things then. So she "went thru" with the wedding. She has one of the best husbands in the world. Nothing is to good for her. But she has hardly seen a well moment since her marriage and on two occasions, the ordinary duties of married life have been so much, too heavy for her weakened body, that I, as her physician, have wondered whether she would be able to "pull thru", and what about children born to this couple? A mother whose body has barely enough life to sustain itself from day to day, to be burdened with the added responsibility of feeding, carrying, nourishing and developing two bodies, how can it be done? With a mother with only poor very poor blood, and heart, and lungs and kidneys herself. How can she pass on to another little life good blood, a strong heart, and lungs, and a healthy pair of kidneys!
We have seen in this case the effect of marriage on the disease wife and on the offspring. There is still another phase. When a wife has Tuberculosis she is not only unified to marry for her own health's sake and that of be posteriority but also for the sake of the husband. For close contact with active Tuberculosis is almost sure to involve the person thus
So thus, while the idea of a physical examination by a competent physician prior to marriage may not be pleasant to think of, it is easy to see that it may never-the-less be the only method of providing some things which are many, many times less pleasant to contemplate.
Are there any other reasons beside the possibility of disease, why a girl should be examined before marriage regarding the possibilities connected with her future postity? Yes, there is at least one very important reason which we shall discuss next week.
GREETINGS
To all Chicagoans and the several Towns and Cities in the United States and territories, who may be or who may become interested in the Home-Tennessee Emanipulation Celebration, to be held in Knoxville, Teen., from Aug. 5th to 20th, 1930.
The General committee of Chicago presents the following excerpts from the three editions of Spotlights and the supplement thereto as compiled by Wm. J. Burdine, the General Chairman.
The objective of every Homecomer will be to arrive in Knoxville not later than the morning of August 1930; to assemble at whatever church the committee in Knoxville may designate at H. A. M. sharp, at which time the Rev. J. H. Branner, D. D. Presiding Elder of the Maryville District A. M. E. Zion Church, will conduct the service in part as follows: Hymn Lined—"And are we yet alive
the Rev. W. A. C. Breedove, D. D. of Elizabeth, Tennessee. Prayer-By Rev. Matt Toomey, D. D. of the National Baptist Council Homecourt's Sermon-By Rev. C. A. Bell, D. D. of Chattanooga.
Prayer following the Sermon—By the Rev. W. H. Franklin, D. D. Pres., Emeritus Swift Memorial Institute, Rogersville, Tennessee, Benediction—By Elder Isaiah H. Moore, of the Christian Church. We would also like to have Profs Chargeen L. Graham and W. D. S. Bradley offeriate as solists in this service; otherwise Dr. Branner may inject what ver so may desire into the service.
After the Benediction will have been announced by Elder Moore, an old-fashioned heart to heart hand shaking will be in order, themes to dinner, as this will necessarily be a rather lengthy service. We will omit the afternoon's session of the Convention and rest until 8 P. M. at which time the Knoxville, committee will conduct the Welcome exercises, responses by competent persons selected by the Chair of each delegation.
Wednesday morning, August 6th, at 9 o'clock sharp, Atty Webster L. Porter, of Knoxville, Tenn., will open the first regular session of the Convention with an address representing the Bar and the Press committees on the State of the Church, and the State of the Country will report at this session, which will be discussed both pro and con by the visitors and spectators, as will all vital subjects throughout our routine at each session. The presiding officers of each session, which will be designated by the Chairman of the respective delegation, will allot the time for discussion, etc., at the adjournment of each session. It will be announced who will preside and what delegation they represent; subject and so on. Perhaps Mr. Griffins, California Delegation, will be in charge of the first session. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, etc., until each will have been represented. The all Star combined program will contain the entire procedure of our activities.
Our committee on Courteses' will see to it that in so far as it is consistent that every lady or gentleman who attends our sessions will be introduced and have a word to our gathering, whether they be learned or unlearned, well-to-do or humble in circumstances.
We are bidding our friends to come with us as guests of honor offering all who will accept this most cordial invitation the best that East Tennessee has to give in generosity and hospitality. Our combined all-star program will be arranged in unique pamphlet form and contain the names of those who will appear on the programs, the Cities, States or Territories that each may represent: names of all delegates and visitors, names and addresses of those with whom they will stop while in town. The Knoxville committee will inform us as to what will be the charges, board, lodging, etc. Names and addresses of those who will take delegates and visitors; all such matters will be taken care of from the general headquarters in Chicago.
We will solieit advertisement for

NEGRO PHILOSOPHY
GOLDEN RULE
BY: THE DEACON
If you want to sit
With God on His Throne,
You must repent and believe
And let Old Satan alone.
If you want to live
In the Heaven's above,
You must build your hopes
Upon the principles of love.
If you don't love humanity
Your heart is unchan.
And you cannot love God
Whom you have never seen.
If your mind is fed
On prejudice and hate.
You cannot meet St. Peter
At the Golden Gate.
If you see your fellow-man,
Bowed down with grief
Don't pass him by;
Stop, and give him relief.
Love the Lord thy God
With all thy heart.
And from His Commandments
You should never depart.
If you want to follow Jesus
Be gentle, faithful and true.
And do unto others
As you would have them do unto
you.
our All-Star program from the business places and professional men and women; also each delegation will share expenses for programs, badges, etc., according to their numerical rating and will likewise share in the revenues derived therefrom. We will continue our conventional activities to one week, from the 5th to the 12th. After the committee on resolutions will have reported, Dr. J. Henry Presnell, will deliver the closing address for us; thence we will be in the hands of the Knoxville committee for the remaining week. We would suggest that as far as it is consistent, that each Chairman will liken their committee unto ours, especially such as the State of the Church, State of the Country, Racial Progress, etc., O. course each group will select their own spokesman.
Friday, August 8th, 1900, monster Emancipation Celebration at Greenville, Teen, Mrs. Eliza J. Palmer, Chairman, Orator Hen J. N. Fitzgerald, of Baltimore, Md., or Prof. W. J. Cansler, of Knoxville, Teen, Mrs. Lillian Philman, sobist.
At Morristown, Teenin, Monday, August 11th, 1920, Monster Enamination Celebration, Mrs. Henry R. Walker, Chairman, Orator, Atty R. E. Touney, of Miami, Fla, or Prof. Chas. W. Cansler, of Knoxville, Miss Lillian Pullam, Soloist. The Knoxville Committee will line up Dr. H. M. Green, Mr. N. S. Chirk, Mr. Ben Branner, Prof. L. R. Cansler and others of their citizenship, until everyone may have a part in the momentous event.
The railroad line will not exceed one mile for the round trip from all points and will be far less from places where we have large delegations, Mr. J. West Griffin and his California delegation will route so they can catch our special out of Chicago. Brother and Sister Chairman will necessarily have to keep very, very busy from now until the dawn of August 20th, 1930, to the end that we may be crowned with abundance of success having put ever a program second to none among our racial group. God being our help.
The General Committee of Arrangements will be composed of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary of each organized deagination which is herewith called to meet in Chicago from Feb. 12 to 15, 1920 so we can together arrange our combined All-Star program, and every item pertaining to the final outlining of the Home Camers' Convention and East Tennessee Emancipation Celebration. Come or send a letter so that you will be placed in proper form, etc. on the All-Star program.
Should we be successful in corraling the united support of our former home folks and East Tennessee seams wherever they may be on the morning of August 9th, 1930, we will present to all Knoxville and her most eminent committee of ladies and gentlemen, a tremendous picture of humanity as we file into that wonderful metropolis of East Tennessee, populated by some of the best people of both races on God's green earth, with their most cordial relationship. You will look and behold them coming from far away California, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, D. C., Atlantic City, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, Columbus, Boston, St. Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, the coal fields of West Virginia, and Kentucky, and from every hamlet north or south where even one from Knoxville or East Tennessee may chance to be; and an innumerable host that they will liken unto, the one that John beheld from the Isle of Patmos, coming to view the old landmarks of our childhood days, bring to you good news and glad tidings as to how we have behaved ourselves since we have been from you.
William J. Burdine, Chairman and General Manager

Giants After League Lead From Shell Oilers
WHITE SOX PARK TO BE SCENE OF MORNING GAME SUNDAY BETWEEN MEXICAN SAN LUIS TEAM AND KELLY KARS.
Lonnie Goodwin and his Royal Giants handed the Shell Oil their first defeat of the winter league season on Armistice Day at Shell Park and thereby emerged with a slight edge on the three game series. The other two games of the series will be played this Saturday and Sunday at White Sox Park. The Giants now have a chance to shove Shell Oil into second place by splitting the series with them and to clinch the championship of the second half by beating them both games. The Giants beat them Armistice Day by a score of 4 to 2 and would have shut them out but for the ninth inning rally.
Manager Goodwin knows that the Oilers are his most formidable rivals and as a result of that knowledge he is bringing up all his resources to be able to take both games from the Oilers this weekend. He has not only had his pliers out an hour earlier on practice day this week but he has had them out every day and kept them practicing over time. He has paid special attention to his pitchers and is working his entire start into form for duty this coming spring. Charleston is slated for duty on Saturday with "Bullet" Rogan all primed for the Sunday encounter and Brewer and Cooper as reserves. All of which goes to show that Manager Goodwin is potential to take both games from the Shell Oilers.
GIANTS PLAY EXHIBITION
The Giants gave the Kelly Kars a good drubbing on last Saturday, 9 to 3 and then lost for them on Sunday 6 to 2 as an aftermath of a double-header whereupon they expanded themselves to beat the Mexican Suns Giants in the first game 7 to 6. It was the first double-header of the season and after the first game, the Giants found themselves a bit tired, was the result of the Sunday doubleheader which has made Manager Goodwin put his athletes through extra training for the coming Shell Oil series.
SUNDAY MORNING GAME
The San Luis Giants, a team which has won the championship of Mexico and composed of Mexicans and Cubans, have been brought here to play special exhibition games with the winter leaguers. They played the first game on Sunday and the Perrone All-Stars on Sunday, losing both games. They will play the Kelly Kare in a special exhibition game at White Sox Park on Sunday morning at 10:30. This exhibition game will be held in the morning because the Royal Giants and Shell Oilers must play a regular league game in the park on Sunday afternoon. There has been some great ball playing in the league this season but this coming series gives promise to be the greatest games played thus far. Both the Giants and the Oilers will be out there fighting every minute to win. Come out and see one of the biggest crowds this season.
Dos snail, the pull mixer from Seattle, was too much for Baby Sal Serra in the small room at Sah Bernedo last Thursday night and took the duke over the Mexican star after ten rounds of battling.
The fight was a close one and Snail took the fight on his tenor round finale. They both come under the last rung. They both unbound to take the final round and the second.
**SOUTHPAW STYLE**
Snail fought in a southwest style and it had the same sound sound before the bout was made over by the third. Soira got her in the Pill Mixer with Rif timon right hand and when he couldn't put that right on him he lost all interest in everything. Sal seemed to forget that he had a left hand, in fact one of the best lefts on the coast. The Mexican can knock out a man as quick with his left hand as he can with his right if he would only use it.
THE VICTORY OVER Sol was another step in the Doe's comeback. He is making rapid strides towards the top again. Shell at one time was one of the most feared men in this featherweight class. He took such boys as Jimmy McLarian, Bud Taylor and many others just as a matter of fact and beat them too.
LOST TO MACK
The northernner lost to Eddie Mack in his first comeback this year at the Olmryn in about three rounds. Mack knocked out Sal in five heats at the Olympic just before he beat Shell.
UPSET
Shell's beating the Mexican was an upset. Sorin was the favorite to take the Doctor. Shell's style wouldn't let Sal go going. Doc went in with his head down and swinging both arms for all he was worth.
Sal was headed on a comeback of some note himself and now will have to start all over down the thieves in the sticks. Sorla just can't seem to get over any boys with a rest. Maybe the idea of being a topnotcher scores the fabs. Whatever it is he should snub one of it.
HAWKIN8-MANGILEA8
Freddie Hawkins and Joe Manicillia go to it on ten rounds or legs in next weeks main event at San Bernardino. Hawkins is Sa's staddle and is coming right along. Freddie is a big favorite in Tyson, where he knocked out the town favorite and beat him in another battle although the third man in the ring thought the Filipino won. Incidentally a rematch was in order and Freddie put Bolo to sleep after loosening all the way going into the tenth round.
This battle between Mandalini and Hawkins should provide Solomon all the way. Both of the boys敢出
门,知道他和杰克一起去战斗。
HIGHER PRICES
The Orange Bolt sealed, higher prices last week for the Snail-Sorcia flight, but the fang stood the Higher tardir and the house was a complete sellout. Printing the old theory that if you give the fund High-class bours they will gladly pay for them!

1549 East 14th Street
Goldie Hess, the Ocean Park favorite took a decision over Gaston Charles the Frenchman by virtue of his heavy punching last Tuesday night in the main event at the Olympic fight club.
Charles took only one round and that was the second. Hess took the long end of the others except the first and that could be counted as seven. Goldie took the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth, tenth and the duke.
GASTON TRIES HARD
Frenchly tried hard, but that was just about as far as he got, trying. The Ocean Park kid was just a little ahead of him all the time. Hess dealt out some terrible body punishment to the boy from the park. Gaston was pretty fair in the clinches and did pretty fair until it was time to break and Hess had him there again. Goldie had pretty hard for his weight and if he had just a little more science the kid would be a winner. But then on second thought if the kid had more science he would not be the box office attraction that he is.
TORRES BEATS WALLINDER
John Torres, Goldies stablemate came through with a victory in the wintry bout that wilted the ex rounds. Johnny had Wallender on the floor in every round almost. Some of the counts were short and some were long. Sometimes it looked as if Harry wasn't going to be able to make it up, but he always managed to crawl up before the count of ten was toled off.
This Torre is a corner and will be hitting the high spots soon. If he keeps up his present gait, He can sit and is not such a bad boxer. And when he hits them they usually drop.
SPECIAL FAST
The special event was a fast skyeat go between Ray McIntyre and Sammy Spamma. The third man called a draw, but it looked to ms as if Ray had a margin on the Jewish kid. McIntyre did all the leading and several times had Sammy on his heels so to speak.
PRELIMINARIES GOOD
The four round boys went at a live-ly race Tuesday night also.
ly pace Tuesday night also.
Ken Keble, a product of the Northwest came down and knocked out Jimmy Peterson in four rounds to end one of the fours. Jimmy was having the better of the argument before Ken clipped him one oh the leg and then Pete was walking around in a dream.
Rafael Hubardu, a hard hitting Mexican took the duke over Bobby Hayden in the other four. Bobby couldn't make any headway at all with Rafael. The Mexican jarred Hayden with shot, joins to the chin and had him in a had way several times.
Taps were sounded for Louie Shannon on ardent fight from the time the old Vernon was at its height to the new Olympic. The house was darkened and ten taps—the long count—was sounded for Louie.
Hard Hitting Frankie Campbell Takes on Harry Dillon
Frankie Campbell, the hardhitting heavy from the north is heading next weeks' card at the Olympic, when he takes on Harry Dillon the heavy, weight champ of Canada.
Dillon has never fought in the Southland before and not much is known of him except that he has met the best boys in the country at his
WHAT NEXT?
D A N S H A W
The Baron Jeens Dougherty, the cross country Ride, Boxing Manager of the Black Shadow—Geo. Godfrey, has come to crossroads of friendship and and it ceases to be cordial with the chairman, or the Penn. Boxing Commissioner, Mr. Wiener. The issue concerns the livelihood of his STAR BOARDER, GEORGE, who Mr. Wiener says he cannot fight in the State of Pennsylvania unless heights men that are his equal. He will not sanction a fight between Jack Renault, who holds two decisions against his Black Shadow. Mr. Wiener says he is not a fit opponent. Then and there Mr. Jeens threw his hat into the ring and said, "WE WILL FIGHT" It is going to be a ____ of fight. Mr. Dougherty says the Chairman of the Boxing Commission must be moved. The entire process of the State of Pennsylvania has taken up the question and have first broadside at the Governor of the State, demanding that he move Mr. Wiener. The fireworks have begun. This column will keep in touch with the issue for it's going to be too hot for words before it is finished.
BABY JOE GANS
Mr. Hayden Wadhams, matchmaker for Jack Doyle, offers Baby Joe Gans 5000 grand to appear at the Olympic against Freddy Fitzgerald, who outgalloped "Black Jack" Thompson and Young Hervy Hervy. Gans will accept. He is drawing a deadlier right hand than ever before on the chains of those that both within his range. He has lost one sight since he left the Queen in January. He spotted Jackie Fields 7 rounds in Madison Square Garden, broke his right hand in the second round and gave Fields all the action he cared to have. Gans always a favorite here has a golden winter ahead of him if he still has the T. N. T. lingering in his right flat. Gans and Fitzgerald will pack them in and Gans and Mushy Collahan for the Junior / welterweight championship would fill the Olympic to the gun whales.
weight and is some fighter, but the fans in Los Angeles must have a little more than a record to make them warm up to a fighter and if Harry can beat Billo he is sitting pretty.
KNOCKOUT RECORD
Campbell is staging a comeback and has gone on a knockout spree. He started his comeback in Frisco and then jumped down here to push it along a little more. Every sight he has had since he started his comeback his ended with the other fellow on the canvass for the long count.
HAILED AS A DEMPSEY
Frankie is even being hailed as a coming Dumbrek. He is like Jack Dumbrek in many respects and the most noticeable one is his ability to cook fish and granny, from with older hand. He makes in and lends them have it. Some times he gets a chop on the leg that makes him backwater for a moment. When he fought, on the Hudson-Walker card he got chipped in the first round and it looked like crows for just a moment. In the second he came back and knocked his man colder than an iceberg.
READED FOR BIGGER GAME
The Northern-heavy is headed for bigger and better things in the fast game and it he gets over Dillion he is made.
SATURDAY U. S. C. VS. NOTRE DAME
Saturday U. S. C. battles Notre Dame of Soldiers' Field in Chicago
Coach Jones has pointed for this game. Should the field be hard to win, the boys will have a good chance to win, wherein the boys will have trouble with their footing, for they are then lined as mudders. More than fifty both teams will adhere to strength, football tactics, playing perhaps diving great caution. Should either one gain an early advantage the football fans will be treated to some thrills. Notre Dame's four Horsemen this year are just as fast as ever while U. S. C. has about the best backfield they have ever had. It will be a game in which the stars or opposing teams will have plenty of opportunity to give full vent to their individually. A setting that will be ideal for some unheralded player to be a hero. As to who will win in a game, pregnant with possibilities will be largely guess work as there are stars aplenty opposing each other. If Duffield, Moses and Edison play so to form, it will be a terrific football game.
Jack Dempsey is a busy man these days. Outside of his promoting efforts he is hopping around to different places refereeing nights, occasionally doing two a day in Vendeville. He pays a high tribute to Jack Sharkey, naming him as the outstanding contender for the title surrendered by Gene Tunny and that he will go into necrosis with him and offer him a bout next summer. His promotion.
Johnny Riske is trying to build him
self up again by sending out a flock
of publicity. Riske has not been the
fighter he was since his fight with
George Godfrey, who gave him as terri-
able a schackling as any fighter ever
acceived. He has two fights booked;
one with Tiffany Griffith at Madison
Square Garden, December 27 and one
with Paola Uzadun at a later date.
If he wins, he might as well begin to
pray that he will win for in meeting
Griffith he 's meeting a boxer nd a
hitter who will more than likely take
his measure.
All the Newsboys are waiting for
Turkey Day. A big dinner will be

CHARVEX TO MEET ABRAMS
SATURDAY
Jacq. Carreras and Abe Abrams, middle-seekers, will battle in next Saturday night's main event at the Main Street Athletic Club. It will be the first Pacific Coast appearance of Abrams, who hsll from Oklahoma.
Klintaro Usuda, Japanese welterweight, scored a clean-cut knock-out verdict over Joe Robinson in the last Saturday nights' main event. Happy Romero, Mexican middleweight, won a close decision over Manuel Victorio, in the semi-wind-up, while Johnny Christmas and Jimmy O'Neil, lightweights, fought a draw in the special event.
Black Sport World
What is the answer with George Godfrey? This is a question asked by thousands of flight fans—black and white.
Godfrey is the best heavyweight in the game today, and could be recorded as such if he, would only take the same way he should.
George is big enough. If a very good boxer for a man of his weight can stop around at some speed. But all this goes for naught if the big playboy doesn't feel just in the right mood to do battle. The big boy doesn't like to go out and put his man out as soon as possible, he must have his play period. And that is just what the fans won't stand for in the boxing scene and in the heavyweight class especially.

West Coast Lifted Wrecked
The crack West Coast Limited which left here last Sunday, was detailed near Saugus and held up by benders who had loosened the roadbed and pulled the spikes from the ties. When the train struck the undermined bed, the engine screeched and then crashed into a ditch. With it went the baggage and smoking car and two day coaches. The bandits then proceeded to rob the passengers in true Wild West fashion, shielding their identity by bandana handkerchiefs. Engineer R. C. Ball was scalded by the boiling water when the engine exploded, and is not expected to live.
The wreck happened about 7:35 p.m. and caught many industrious Pullman Porters in the act of spreading sheets, following are the names of the Pullman Porters who were on the ill-fated train: P. J. Anderson, E. Rodgers, S. W. Meigs, W. Glenn, C. G. Mortimer, S. J. Miller and A. F. Payne. One of the bandits stuck a six-shooter in P. J. Anderson's ribs, and demanded him to fork it over. P. J. managed to donate a few "rips" to the cape, but was wise enough to hold out enough for coffee and, in the morning. It is a good thing that P. J. has been with the Pullman Company long enough to get free uniforms, for I am told the one he hid off at the time was ruined. The bandits gave Gleni a nasty look and he tried to turn into a cuspidide. E. Rodgers who has been kicked around like a Trojian football, hid under the washstand and was overlooked. They passed Payne up because it seems that they must have had some advance information that he has not been working for a few days. I am told that the bandits only got $300 off of the entire train, and held up everybody that was on it. Now according to that, will you kindly inform me just how much the porters expected to brush down at the end of their trip. It seems that this incident is a very good way for the world to get a line on how much the Pullman Porters can extract from the liberal purses of the traveling public; and if some brainy individual will kindly mail me the answer to the following question, I will gladly publish the answer in these columns: IF THE TWO BANDITS WITH LOADED GUNS COULD ONLY GET $300 OUT OF A TRAIN, LOAD OF PASSENGERS, HOW MUCH CAN A LONE PULLMAN PORTER GET WITH ONLY A WHISK BROOM AS A WEAPON?
Mr. G. D. Smock, veteran Pulliam Porter, who has operated over the Santa Fe Lines for many years, passed away last week on the train while in the line of duty, and en route to Chicago. He was removed from the train at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and his body will be shipped to Los Angeles, his home, as soon as the proper arrangements can be made. Mr. Smock, operated out of Chicago Eastern District, but his family resided in Los Angeles. He was a regular line man on the Chief, crack excess fare train of the Santa Fe. G. D. Smock, Jr., Mr. Smock's son, lives in Los Angeles and is also in the service, operating out of this district.
He runs on the Gold Coast Limited, and was in Chennai, when notified of his father's death. He leaves a loving and devoted wife, son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and a host of friends to mourn his death.
Put All Mexican Porters
Off Social to Medical
I tried to pick the crew for the Chamber of Commerce special to Mexico, last week, but from the latest reports, I was all wet. H. O. Phillips and his gang was left Gold this year, and the special with the one exception of a porter by the name of Graves, was an entire pure de Mexican crew even the Hon. Mr. Phillips himself, who has never been known to miss this choice tie bid of the year to Mexico, on account of his thorough knowledge of the Mexican speaking language, could not make the grade. This is the first time in history, where the Pullman Company has made this kind of arrangement, and it acted as a knock out blow to the well thought of boys of this district. Many loud squaks were heard at the disappointment. I am told that H. E. Washington even went to the expense to buy a Spanish speller, and had set up till the wee hours in the morning to learn his A B C's; naturally he is greatly disappointed. Sam Parks who also was making a very strong bid for consideration was hollaring like a stuffed pig. It looks as though the boys will have to take a line to Calcutta; if they want to get a glimpse of the fair senoritas this year.
10,000 First in Mexico City
Maybe the boys are better off for not going, for listen to this interesting message: The casualties of a violent clash between rival political parties in the heart of the city, were set at thirteen wounded, including one woman, by the police after hours of investigation. At least 500 rifle and pistol shots were fired during the half hour of battle between groups totaling 10,000. More than an hundred police were unable to cope with the disturbance. From hissing and shouting the disturbance passed quickly to shooting and brick throwing. Many windows were broken out and buildings set on fire. And be it hereby known that at a place like this is where the special will tie up for one solid week. It seems to me that big Wash has a rather too broad a target to run a risk of this kind. The Southern Pacific dining car crew will have an opportunity to account for some breakages in dishes should they run into this little party. May they be will only too glad to see a Mexican dining car crew make the trip next year.
I have been led to understand that the article recently written by the writer concerning the free labor proposition at the Southern Pacific Depot, has created quite a little discussion in railroad circles. If it does, nothing more, than to bring to light before the officials of this great corporation, the gross injustice of the whole mess, it will have served its purpose. When big capital arrives to such a low ebb as to expect, honest labor for practically nothing, then it is time that such methods should be exposed. What is the country coming to? They talk about excluding the Chinese and Mexicans from this country on account of their low standards of living, but on the other hand, they do nothing to relieve the conditions already existing in that respect in their own country. It apparently seems that the general plan, is to exclude the cheap foreign labor, but make the labor already in the country just as cheap, if not a little bit cheaper; naturally the little of this clever figuring keeps us jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Big corporations paying large dividends derived from the profits of cheap labor.
makes conditions little better than in
slavery times. America's boast of
freedom, and her miltio of live and let
live, begins to appear as a myth.
PULL-MAR PILLOW SLIPS
Mrs. L. High, wife of Porter L.
High, now operating on the Phoenix
line, has been suffering with a broken
foot. We hope for her speedy recovery.
C. Smith has been on the sick list for
several weeks with nephritis.
C. Smith, Jr., paid this city a visit
from New Orleans last week.
Did you know that former superintendent, F. A. Miller, who was here for a short while, and while here tore the district inside out, is now dining car conductor, operating on the Great Northern out of St. Paul? First reports was that he was writing insurance, but I guess times got tight, so he went where he could be sure of getting three squares a day.
And so W. H. Walker hops from his perfectly good line on the Padre to the measley El Portal hae.
I see that Maids Ella Greer, Bessie Raphael and Sophie Lee have bid in on 7-8.
Maid Marshall has at last found out that a rolling stone gathers no moss, and has kissed Frisco good-bye for good.
There is a young lad that cleans cars in the Santa Fe yards by the name of Carpinter, of which I will tell you more about in a later issue.
The pickings got so tough on the extra board for W. King that he grabbed 372 to Chicago.
A gang of porters were fighting to go on the Trojan special to the Notre Dame game in Chicago last week. Southern Pacific's crew under the supervision of Steward Gazely were slated to go—W. A. Porter, Tall man, McCown, and Sam Lawson as chief. There might be a last minute change, if so. I will let you know next week.
Bethea's line to Sacramento went up for bid last week, so I guess he is gone bye-bye!
SANTA FE RED CAPS
Red Caps Hold Their Monthly Smoker
Last week at the Dunbar Hotel, the Santa Fe Red Caps held their monthly smoker. This event seems to be quite an affair among the boys who grab hand-hands during the week, and all the members make an effort to attend. Last week there was quite a gang on hand, when the president called the roll. Much business was trafacted, and a rousing time was had by all who attended.
Las week, some of the crack red caps were selected to grace their presence on a Fox Movie special to San Diego. The train carried one builer car, two diners and five parlor cars. Following are the names of the crack red caps who rendered service with a smile, and received a smile in return: Logan Eubanks, Thomas Nash, Al Day, J.H. Hawkins and Buddy Boy Grandison.
Normand X. Jones has a large ranch in Watts, and has a large number of fat turkeys waiting to be devoured. He invites all the boys out for Thanksgiving dinner.
J. H. Hawkins has the biggest bus in town. He is thinking of giving the Pickwick stages some strong com-
petition.
Frank Thompson chins he is the best pool player in the city.
Thomas Nash was acting as head can man in Air. Lawy place last week.
Who is the Red Cap that they call Rubba?
Don't forget the Railroad Clatter.
We cannot mention too often the fact that Mr. George Sherman has opened a gasoline service station at Walmart and Pasadena avenue. It is an up-to-date plant. Accessories, candies, drinks, and tobacco may be bad at the same time that your car is being relieved. Let every colored autoist in Pasadena patronize Mr. Sherman. He sells the best grade of oil and the highest tested gas.

HEFLIN MFG. COMPANY'S BUSINESS ENGINEER GIVES ENCOURAG-ING REPORT
Several hundred stockholders of the Heflin Manufacturing Company assembled at the Heflin plant on last Saturday evening at a specially called meeting to meet with the business expert who came out here from Chicago for the purpose of making a survey or the Heflin plant.
Mr. W. B. Alamoub who happens to be this individual had in the past ten days made a partial report which was encouraging and satisfactory to the utmost. He has been placed in full authority by the Board of Directors and is now busily engaged in perfecting a complete reorganization of the company putting the establishment a firm and subjective basis to its operations.
business men of Chicago who have formed a $50,000.00 corporation for the purpose of handling the Hefflin products throughout the Middlewest. This group of men have already subscribed $25,000.00 and paid in $10,000.00 and are therefore ready to take the entire outfit of the factory immediately upon its resumption of production.
The high points in Mr. Almibno's observations from facts as presented and in evidence, is that the Hahnin Company has assets of more than $800,000.00 and liabilities of but $35,600.00.
Also that a production of $1000.00 daily can easily be maintained and a ready market for its products. That the Hahnin Co. at Chicago is prepared and ready 40 pay for carload jobs of knocked down caskets, F. O. B. Los Angeles.
This shendid property which is a high credit to the race ranks with anything which has ever been launched and with the knowledge that strict business methods, mean its salivation and a dividend paying institution from this time on'.
Mrs. Hancock of 1426% E. 17th street is confined to her bed suffering from injuries received when getting off a street car last week. While her injuries are not serious she is suffering considerable p a in. We wish for Mrs.
