1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 $5,000 To Frame Curtis Mosby ON THE SIDEWALK By C. A. B. MORE THAN a month ago the weather prophet appeared in one of the daily papers beneath an open umbrella suggesting that Los Angeles and Southern California were in the wake of a good drenching. Soon, said the weather man, the precipitation will be sufficient unto our needs. Each day the storm is raging in the northern port of the state and bids fair to reach us within twenty-four or thirty-six hours, but as yet the precipitation has not precipitated. And if that dear old weather man is still standing beneath the open umbrella he must be getting a little weary. Anyway, we suggest that the weather bureau get in touch with some of our profound corn and bunion sufferers as to when we shall have rain. THE FIRST Annual Exhibition of contemporary Negro Art which is on its second week at the Southern California Art Club, Barnsdale Park, is meeting with hearty acclaim from the general public. Some of those, whom the general public are always glad to greet who appeared on program this week at the Annual Art Exhibition were Rev. Clinton Taft, Mrs. Bilbrew with a group of her faous singers Sunday. On Tuesday the appearance of Supervisor Frank L. Shaw in a short but very timely address was highly approved as well as a group of original piano selections by our own Prof. Wm. T. Wilkins. Wednesday's program was par excellent featuring Mrs. Mattie Mac Stafford, and Mrs. Catherine Barr, Pres. of Urban League, as speakers with Loraine Winston furnishing the music. Wednesday evening the presentation of Richard D. Mann, who at this time appears on the music horizon as Los Angeles' coming baritone star was the climax of a week's feast in music, song and art. We are publishing a little speech delivered by us before the Art Exhibition Wednesday evening, where the lights were too low for us to see properly, hence even though we are using it as a space-filled, here is hoping that some little inspiration will be gained through this medium by those who hope to reach some little pinnacle in the "Hall of Fame." PERHAPS THE SIDE of American life that has received little or no attention in the early educational training of our youth is the artistic side We are thinking in terms of the principles of artistic construction and aesthetic criticism on the application of such principles to artistic works. In an extended sense the term "art" implies everything which may be distinguished from nature. Art and nature are the two most comprehensive subjects of human study. And strange as it may seem the Black man or Mego even before he left his Africa held secret communion with art and nature. In this strange land of pale blue sky, muddy Nile, twisted vines, and man eating animals, this even stranger child of nature; despised by other civilized nations and hated because he is black is possessed with a peculiar passion for the aesthetic and beautiful. In his native land he bared his body to the piercing rays of a tropic sun, and lifted his fascinating eyes in worship of Moonbeams beneath a silvery sky. Out from this land or jungle beauty and weird sounds came Phyllis Wheaty who gave vent to her artistic emotions through the medium of verse: Colebridge Taylor, who thrilled his and coming ages with his "Hiwatha" and others of equal mythmatic value—and Henry O. Tanner, who, after brooding over the vicious suffering of Christ on the cross, translated his own mental deliberations on canvas and his "Crucifixion" adorns the leading art galleries of the world today and those who take time to gaze thereon, see even more than the crucifixion of Christ some nineteen hundred years ago—they see in the features of this figure hanging there on the cross a plea for justice to all God's children. As we gaze about us here, we see in this enclosure, between these walls of clay, signs of a new day. We hear still whispers from closed lips—climt higher, reach the pinnacle in the development of art, oh child in Black, for heinem is neither discrimination nor segregation. Men may block your way into the world of skilled labor, but God made mind, hence you may scale the heights of fame with your son, your brush or your chisel. This first exhibition of contemporary Negro Art in the city of Los Angeles is a quiet demonstration of not only the Negro's artistic ability, but likewise his God-like patience in the face of cruel oppression, by some, and his determination to contribute to civilization his part of the world's program of progress.

Mayor Porter Makes Pleasing Address At Second Baptist BY: J. B. BASS The announced appearance of Mayor John C. Porter to speak at the Sunday evening service at the above named church upon the subject of the Christian in Politics, brought out a large attendance and there is no gainay but the people who came out were well repaid, for the Mayor delivered one of the most pleasing, illuminating and constructive addresses which it would be possible to give.

By order of the Executive Committee, local branch LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1929 Mayor Porter Makes Pleasing Address At Second Baptist Mayor Porter Makes Pleasing Address At Second Baptist BY: J. B. BASS The announced appearance of Mayor John C. Porter to speak at the Sunday evening service at the above named church upon the subject of the Christian in Politics, brought out a large attendance and there is no gainssay but the people who came out were well repaid, for the Mayor delivered one of the most pleasing, illuminating and constructive addresses which it would be possible to give. His subject: "The Christian in Politics" was in every way the most appropriate vehicle to unfold to his hearers the steady advance that the Christian people of this community have made in making conditions better, by taking an active part in the election of public servants. His address, which was most inspiring, was delivered in a conventional manner and was more eloquent than if all arts of expression had been attempted. The mayor brought no message to any class or group but a message to the people. There was no "you people" in his address and with frankness and sincerity which could not be questioned, he met and talked with his brothers and sisters. The meeting was preceeded by a special song service after which Pastor Griffith took charge and introduced Rev. Frederick Mitchell, who made a few general remarks along the line of Christian effort. He next introduced Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass, managing editor of the California Eagle, who in a most pleasing manner presented the speaker of the evening, Mayor John C. Porter. At the conclusion of the Mayor's address, Dr. Griffith presented Mrs. Clara Hulbert, who spoke a few, but very befitting words in response to his honor, the Mayor. It was indeed a very outstanding event in the annals of the great and historic Second Bartist Church, and its pastor is to be congratulated for bringing to the people, the wonderful message from its Chief Executive.

The banquet is given under the auspices of Golden West Lodge and Hiawatha Temple of the Elks organization. Reservations can be made by calling upon Mrs. Lelia O.

Announcements from Oakland and San Francisco are to the effect that delegations will be on hand from both of those cities. The occasion grows bigger every day and surely it will be a great big town. Notice To Subscribers In Monrovia J. FINLEY WILSON The only J. Finley Wilson is the magnet which is drawing the crowd for it has been announced that he will lead the grand march heading more than 2500 couples. The music has been tested and with special amplifiers will be distinctly heard in all parts of the great building. This feature is being especially looked after by the committee on arrangements who will spare no pain or expense to have the very best arrangement for this notable occasion. The Elks are past masters in the art of entertainment and everything possible will be done to make everybody just as happy as it is pobbible to be. Also it is announced that the special banquet to be given at the Dunbar will be the greatest ever attempted in this section. The hotel management have agreed if necessary, to time when all of these Elks come to AN APPRECIATION OF JOHN C. PORTER BY: ATTORNEY HUGH E. MACBETH Pres. of the Blackstone Club They call him an "eighth grader." And yet I know college graduates who stay awake nights in their mental efforts to break down his philosophy of government. They call him the "Church candidate." And yet those closest to him are ever on edge because of his free acceptance of invitations to the affairs of "publicans and sinners." The old schools of professional politicians say "he can't last," "he will be ousted," "he can't make it without a machine, and he won't use his patronage to build a machine." And yet those closest to him are ever on edge because of his free acceptance of invitations to the affairs of "publicans and sinners." The old schools of professional politicians say "he can't last," "he will be ousted," "he can't make it without a machine, and he won't use his patronage to build a machine." And yet he was swept into office in opposition to every existing local political machine, whether newspaper or otherwise. And he has withstood the combined attacks of an unfriendly press and an age old desperate organization of tax-eating, grafting politicians. To me he has always been THE GREAT EXPERIMENT IN AMERICAN MUNICIPAL POLITICS—preaching such strange doctrines as "the integrity of public officials," "the same program of law enforcement for WEST OF MAIN as for the EAST OF MAIN," "the same square deal for saint and sinner, black and white, Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant, rich and poor." How could he be other than the wildest sort of experiment? "For history has proven," said the wise ones, "that you can't build a municipal, political machine without special favors to a few. How else can you pay the expense of the campaign?" But it is passing strange how these "eighth graders" and "rail splitters" do the things which "stump the professors." The GREAT EXPERIMENT is fast passing the experimental stage. There seems to be rapidly forming around him a sort of free masonry of men and women who believe that public office is a public trust, Charters, Civil Service and "what not," to the contrary notwithstanding; and that THE PUBLIC GOOD TRANSCENDS ANY INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO PUBLIC OFFICE. My, how good it is to be living in times like these! With all of its ramifications the grape vine route is working overtime out there on 41st street, with envious eyes upon the Apex Nite Club which is guilty of no offense except it is trying to get along. This time two young disciples of Blackstone Club are the alleged conspirators, who have sought a lease upon the Brookins Building with an implied prophesy that they can block the renewal of Mosby's license. We are keeping our ears to the grass roots, that we may discern the least sound that rustles along the GRAPE VINE ROUTE: its interesting and we can be depended upon to keep our readers informed as to "What's going on Along the Grape Vine Route. Curtis Mosby Of Apex Fame On Trial Before Judge Sheldon Curtis Mosby Of Apex Fame On Trial Before Judge Sheldon The City Prosecutor at the behest of the Newton Street Division Vice Squad is prosecuting the case filed against him, for the possession of liquor at the Apex club. This is clearly a spite case for everybody knows Mosby does not countenance or deal in liquor. The Police Commission exhonored Mr. Mosby and in the natural course of things the police would abide by its decision. But no sir Mabel, these boys are after dealing out misery and are doing their utmost. The case is on trial as we go to press before a jury in Judge Caryl Sheldon's Court. The consensus of opinion is that Mosby will be acquitted. There are yet two other charges, one for interfering with an o'er and one declaring the Apex a nuisance. use the lobby on this occasion, in addition to the dining room to accommodate those desiring to attend the banquet.

On Tuesday evening, December 12 at the First A. M. E. church, Eighth and Towne avenue, Rev. I. B. Si Felix, minister, there is to be presented a wonderful Biblical play, entitled "The Flight Into Egypt" under the direction of Mrs. M. C. Rape, of Indianapolis, Ind. Two years ago Mrs. Rape presented a play called "All Nations' Wedding," which proved to be a brilliant success and indications are that "The Flight Into Egypt" will eclipse her former presentation. It is of a nature that is certain to be enjoyed, the characters have been well cast and you will miss a rare treat if you do not take advantage of the opportunity to see it. Admission 25c. Mrs. Camilla Leffridge is sponsoring the entertainment. Burglars On Rampage Looting Central Ave. Business Houses Henderson and Henderson haberdashery store was looted on last Friday night of goods to the value of more than $250. Entrance was forced from the front door, this being the most prominent corner in this section of the town, it seems strange that a truck could come up and load at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning without someone seeing it. The Japanese Cafe, Cor. 11th and Central was also forced open and burglarized in the same manner, without much loss. RAUMANN & RENE. DRUGGISTS, ALSO TAKEN IN Baumann & Rene, Druggis, at the corner of Pico and Central, lost more than $700 worth of merchandise, in spite of the fact the doors were barred and double locked. All of these depredations were committed within the space of two hours, right in the heart of the business section of Central Ave. No arrest have been made as yet. WESLEY CHAPEL NEWS Sunday was an unusually great day at Wesley. A large congregation heard the pastor's morning sermon on "Every Knee Shall Bow." In the evening his talk on "Getting Ready for Christmas," was helpful. The music by both the Gospel and Senior choirs was unusually good. It was a great day all day. A white woman made a voluntary statement I Deputy District Attorney Jack Chriff, to the effect that a lady friend of hers had been offered $5,000 to get Mosby into a compromising position with her, and offered her $500 to assist her in this diabolical plot. This woman was to come to the Apex Club, and one or the other of them was to take Mosby, and repair to a room where the police would come in and make an arrest. The District Attorney's office is busily engaged to really find out what it is all about. Colored Police Officers' Trial Under Way Colored Police Officers' Trial Under Way As we go to press the fourth day of the trial of three of the colored police officers has been consumed. The officers on trial are A. N. McClanahan; Shannon Wiley and N. B. Bradiord. They are accused of extortion and bribery. They were indicted on twenty counts, six of which have been dismissed on the grounds that they were beyond the statute of limitation. The trial has attracted a capacity house, seats in Judge Carlos Haroy's Court room have been at a premium throughout the hearing. The case itself will run well into next week before its conclusion. As we go to press the prosecution is still presenting its side of the case. The defense is yet to be heard from and with only one more court day, there is no hope for a verdict this week. Thus far with only the prosecution evidence available, no one can with any degree of accuracy predict the outcome of this trial. There are two sides to every case which comes in court and the case of these officers is no exception. We have no desire to publish anything except an impartial review of the case and not having had a short-hand reporter attend this trial we do not feel like even attempting a resume of the testimony at this stage. Outstanding among the state witnesses was Lebe Hendrick and his wife, who cealt blow after bolw against the defendants. They were the star witnesses for the prosecution, other witnesses claimed to know things happened but had no memory as to time, etc. We would call them tame witnesses. Among others who testified were Dan Russell, C. A. Hunter, James Jones. Judge Thos. P. White, who defended Albert Marco and who also defended Sheffield in their previous trials is again the leading attorney for the defense, he is reinforced by Martin F. Burke, Thos.Hickson, Wm. Crop and Christenson. The prosecution forces are led by the fiery Demson assisted by Attorney Clark. Why James Alexander Was Arrested and Held Incumado, then discharged without the filing of charges, will be given in full in these columns in our next issue. Big Jim promises to give to Los Angeles the real story, the inside of things invisible to the naked eye in this exclusive story. Morris Harris Case Put Over Until Wednesday The Morris Harris case which was called in the Municipal Court yesterday was set for hearing on next Wednesday in Department 8 of the Municipal Court. Dad Braxton, one of the old landmarks of the city, was killed by an automobile, Monday evening at 25th and Compton avenue. He was a charter member of King Solomon Temple No. 8, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, and a well known citizen of Los Angeles. Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 14th at 1:30 o'clock from the Angelus LEAGUE SECOND HALF SEASON OPENS SUNDAY LEAGUE SEASON'S SECOND HALF OPENS The season's first half of the Winter League base ball schedule ended with a thrill on Sunday after the Royal Giant hsad beaten the Pirrone All-Stars 9 to 8 in a ten inning fray on Saturday and then 7 to 2 on Sunday to retain second place in the League standing and with the tail-enders Kelly Kars, rejuvenated and, giving the top spot Shell Oilers a second threshing of 2 to 1. The results of the series left the clubs' standing in their same positions with Shell Oil carrying off the championship of the first half on percentage of regular League games. ALL CLUBS END STRONG The interesting thing about the League at the now half-way mark is the reserve strength which has been shown by the so-called weaker clubs. The Pirrone All-Stars which at first showed indications of being a weak club finally found their bearings and began to stap the Royal Giants and Shell Oilers' around for easy victories. The San Luis Mexicans which at first just gave the regular League teams an exhibition workout has turned out t obe about the hardest team in the League to beat and the Kelly Kars as stated last week have at last found themselves and is exhibiting the best brand of ball played this season. ALL GAMES TO BE GOOD The moral of the situation is that to miss any game right now means that you run the risk of missing the best games. The whole League is in mid-season form right now and for the balance of the schedule the fans may expect a splendid brand of base ball. There has not bee na shut-out games this season, but when the teams start to playing 2 to 1 and 3 to 2 base ball, you can look for the old shut-out any day. KELLY KARS IN SERIES KELLY KARS IN SERIES. In this coming Saturday and Sunday series the rejuvenated Kelly Kars, fresh from a victory over Shell Oil, will start the season's second half with the Royal Giants. The Karmen have received some additional strength with Howard Lindimore at second and whose left handed batting has always been disasterous in White Sox Park. It is the prediction of this column that the coming series will be a wow. SAN LUIS GIANTS PLAY SUNDAY The San Luis who lost their last game to the Royal Giants in the ninth inning 7 to 6 put up a whale of a game last Sunday. They would not be beaten until the last man was out. The San Luis meet the Kelly Kars in the first game Sunday at 12:30 and that game too should be a pipping. The fans should be out in large numbers this week-end to start the second half of the season off with a BANG NEW LEGION POST AT WATTS World War veterans from Watts in the 19th District are preparing to organize a new American Legion Post on Sunday, December 15th. The organization will take form in Harding Hall at Compton avenue and the P. E. Redondo tracks. A special invitation has been extended to Benj. J. Bowie Post to participate in the ceremonies and a call has been issued by the Commander Norman O. Houston for members to mobilize on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m., with caps and dark suits to proceed en masse to the Watts celebration. "BIG CHRISTMAS BROTHERS" MAY COMBINE Indications are that the "Big Christmas Brothers," the Benj, J. Bowie Post and the local Chapter of the Elks, may combine their Christmas activities in regard to their Christmas Tree and hone their celebrations jointly. Both organizations have been sponsoring the community Christmas Tree program for the East Side where kiddies from all parts of the city may come and receive free candies and presents. The Lincoln Theatre was sponsoring a free Christmas matinee with Christmas Charols for the kiddies and now comes with an invitation to the "Big Christmas Brothers" to join them and have their Christmas Tree on the stage in conjunction with their free matinee. The matter is now under consideration by both organizations and definite plans will be completed by next week. Simpson Adjudged Insane Sent To Norwalk The case of the People vs. Everett D. Simpson, which was scheduled to come off before the court of Judge Marshall McComb in Department 22 of the Superior Court on last Monday, was stricken from the calendar on account of the finding of the Lunacy Commission which found that the wiley professor was inmate and hence not responsible for the attempted murder of Mrs. R. L. Andrews, when after careful preparation for a perfect crime he struck her Curtis Mosby's Jazz Rodeo and Professional Night Play To Big House The show at the Apex that is so different and new is clicking as no other show ever had. This Western idea in a night club seems to take them off their feet and they just don't know where to land the show is so unique and unusual. VOTED BEST IN MONTHS Regular patrons of the Apex, who miss not one night of Curtis' shows have voted this current attraction at the club the best in months. It has diversity and every other possible thing to make it the best floor show on the Pacific Coast. Many new faces are seen in the cast. Rutledge and Taylor, formerly of the Cotton club; Miss Leonidas Simmons also recently of the Cotton club is gracing the boards of the Apex nite club, and take it from me, boy she can go. IVY STARRED Miss Ivy Anderson, the only great rival of Ethel Watters, is given a starring role in this weeks' show and she sings with all she has and takes them. "An Old Fashioned Lady" is Ivy's best bet in this show. THE DANCER Mary Richards, toe dancer de luxe, is there in all of her class with a couple of dances that just about stop the show. The Drinard Trio, click in a Western idea all of their own and you know they can dance. Those two girls and that boy can go. The famous Anderson Bros., and Gus Jones strutt their stuff in the style that has made them famous. These three boys have the best comedy sketch seen i n many a day. If you don't like Gus, Eddie and His Brother, G. something is the matter. The Dixieland Blue Blowers are there as never before. NOW FOR THE PROS Miss C. Snowden was there and she always gets a big hand with her numbers, because she has that old stuff called "it" and she uses IT as IT should be used. Dancing Nate got a big hand with his steps. Eddie Anderson as master of ceremonies pulled a fast one and had all of the bus boys and headwaiters out Wednesday night strutting their stuff on the hard boards. A kid known as the dancing bus boy got a big hand and little that goes with it when called upon to do a number. The kid gained his fame while juggling trays chock full of dishes. Dishes or no dishes, the kid dances along as unconcerned as if he did not have four or five pounds of dishes on his shoulder. And there was the bus boy that can tickel the Ivories quite a little bit and he did a number that knocked them out and no less. As a concluding number on the professional program the Blue Blowers ran amuck. several times over the head with a window weight and left her for dead in her home some weeks ago, when he proceeded to loot the premises. Mrs. Andrews gained consciousness and crawled to a neighbor's house, gave the alarm, the police came and caught Simpson with the goods upon him and a ready confession. W. O. Tyler, noted colored barrister was retained by the family to defend Simpson, and his first move was for a sanity test, which was granted and then a hearing in which the subject was declared insane. We submit this defense and its conclusion was a brilliant accomplishment by the attorney. But for all that with no fault to find in a lawyer doing all he can for his client, the public at large, overwhelmingly think that Simpson is crazy like a "fox." As a matter of fact they snuggle up their sleeves at what they call a hearing for insanity. They say it has been understood and freely predicted that no punishment would be meted out to this man and they do not hesitate to express themselves. "The Silent Witness" POWERFUL DRAMA CURRENT ATTRACTION AT LINCOLN STARRING CLEO DESMOND, ANDREW BISHOP, LAURA BOWMAN, LIONEL MONAGAS Andrew Bishop as the Silent Witness is at his best in this week's curtain attraction at the Avenue Play House. Supporting Mr. Bishop in a most able manner is Cleo Desmond, whom many think rivaled her Madame X in this powerful drama. Miss Desmond is the most successful actress in this week's show she is the best ever. Miss Desmond plays the part of the mother of the son who is up for murder. Andrew Bishop as Richard Morgan is the boy's father and is prosecuting attorney, although he doesn't know the boy is his son until almost too late. BILLY ANDREWS SUPERB Billy Andrews as Buddy Morgan is superb in every sense of the word and he can't be beat. Arthur Ray as Wilbur Weldon is very good, as is Lionel Monagas as the prosecuting attorney's assistant. There is only one Laura Bowman and there never will be another one. She just can't be replaced no matter how hard you try, Laura is the best there is. NOW FOR THE STORY NOW FOR THE STORY It is one of those estories you often hear about, but seldom see. Buddy Morgen (Billy Andrews) is going to school at a little college in Illinois, working his way through and goes up against the many difficulties a kid working his way through school must and is making pretty good at it until a rich kid comes along and spills some scandal about his parents and you know that makes the kid hopping mad. He puts the hooks in this rich kid once (Wilbur Weldon—Arthur Ray) and still the snob talks. Buddy gets him in back of some bushes and gives him what pants, arm, when it is all over the rich kid is dead and Buddy is up for murder in the first degree. His own father is prosecuting attorney, although he doesn't know it. His dad turns the case over to his young under-study who is after personal gain more than carrying out the duties of his office. A wonderful drama is enacted in the scene where (Gee Desmond as Helen Hasting sees Richard Morgan come back from the dead. She tells him that his son he is sending to the gallows. "The Silent Witness" that is the pair Andrew Bishop plays against his on-screen boy. Does he do? Does he acquit the toy or does he send him to his death for the personal glory that his understudy may gain. How does he save his son from a sure Sonnenberg Keeps Title By Throwing Joe Stecher At The Olympic Gus, the Goat, was goating it right along Wednesday night and he retained his heavyweight wrestling title by throwing Joe Stecher in two out of three falls. Sonny had a battle on his hands and he knew it. Once or twice it looked as if Joe would regain the title he held some few years back, but Gus said no and he butted all title hopes out of Mr. Stecher's mind. HOUSE GOOD The house was good considering. The match drew something like 8000 bone twisting fans. Nothing like the matches before have drawn but a right smart crowd nevertheless. The Champion won the first fall with one of his flying tackles or rather I should say a series of them. He butted Stecher coming and going until finally put the clamps on him. Once they went out of the ring, when Joe had sisseors on the Champ. Gus just ups and heaves Joe clear out of the ring. The third man brought them back into the ring with the champion limping rather badly. Joe rushed out to clamp another one of his leg holds on him, but Gus fooled him and dove into him for the first fall. This fall came after 25 minutes and forty-six seconds. STECHER WINS SECOND The scissors man made a comeback in the second fall and pinned the Champ in 12m 5s with a scissors. The third and deciding fall was made in 7m 7s, and the Champ took that too with his flying tackles. The match was a spectaclar go all the way through and the cash customers got their money's worth and no less. DAVISCOURT WINS In the special event, Dick Daviscount threw Bill Shaw by spreading Shaw's legs so far apart it looked as if they were going t ofall off. The referee did 'right in' stopping the bout. In the opener Al took the verdict over Jorgen Peterson with some of Gus' tackles.

Department of Water And Power As a result of a resolution adopted by the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, the Department of Water and Power now is operating under its former organization set up of two bureaucats, the Bureau of Power and Light and the Bureau of Water Works and Supply. When the board re-established the two bureaus H. A. Van Norman, for the past nine months general manager of the Department, was re-assigned to his position or general manager and chief engineer of water works of the Bureau of Water Works and Supply and E. F. Scattergood, general manager and chief engineer of the Bureau at Power and Light. In the resolution introduced by Commissioner Marlan G. Palmer, the reason for the change was stated as the imperative necessity that the conduct of the water bureau shall have, at this critical time, the thought, en- 1237 E. 53rd AX. 5317 ergy and time of a manager. crime and time of a manager. Following action which re-establishes the two bureaus as they existed prior to their consolidation under one head less than a year ago, an executive committee was appointed composed of Commissioner A. M. Scofield and the Board's President, Dr. John R. Haynes. This committee will work with the chiefs of the two bureaus in connection with organization matters of the Department. SUNDAY—MONDAY, DECEMBER 15th—16th LON CHANEY in "WHERE EAST IS EAST" "QUEEN OF THE NORTHWOODS"—Chapter 5 Mr. Scattergood came to the Department in 1909. He planned and built the hydro-electric generating system of the city. Later the Bureau of Power and Light under Mr. Scattergood began construction of a distributing system which has since then serving homes, offices and industries in Los Angeles and is today the largest City-Owned electric system in the United States.

Seems as if uncle Sam at times delights during warless periods to keep in practice and prepardness by investing its Marines with power to massacre and murder poor defenseless black folk in Hati. To date some 1300 precious human souls, citizens of this little republic have been mown down with machine guns and other fire arms. The history of the U. S. Government rule in Hati has been one of shame, and political degeneracy surpassed only by the rule of the late King Leopold in Congo.

Thousand have lost everything and many thousand more will spend a gloomy Christmas. The crash was the inevitable consequence of an unhealthy Bull market inspired by ignorance and greed. Now the country is gradually getting "Back to Normalcy." The big capitalists have purchased millions of shares of stocks, the market has ceased to flounder and is on the upgrade. For a time national confidence in the future of prosperity was shaken. It had to be restored. Timidity and fear mean retrenchment, under-consumption, loss of sales, piling up of goods, slowing up of industry, followed by the inevitable unemployment with its resultant crop of business failures. To avert this President Hoover assembled a group of leading business men in Washington, D. C., to discuss ways and means of averting a business depression. These men were of various religious and political faiths but were united by a common bond of interest in the economic future of the United States at a time of crisis. Following the advice of Foster and Catchings in "The Road to Plenty," the assembled capitalists advised the inauguration of a gigantic building program that will absorb all workers thrown or about to be thrown out of employment by the far reaching effect of the stock market crash.

All of which somewhat parallels the case of the American Negro. He is receiving many bad breaks. Sometimes it seems as if he is facing a sort of perpetual crisis and often one begins to question whether he is going forward or standing still. Unlike American business, the Negro cannot afford to go "back to normalcy". That's what he wants to get away from. He wants something better in every field of endeavor. Just as Business is striving to restore the confidence of the public, so must the Negro strive to obtain fair play from the majority group as a matter of national necessity and justice. Most white people are still grossly ignorant concerning the Negro. Hence they fear them. Fear is the offspring of Ignorance; Injustice, Exploitation and Lynching spring from Fear. It is up to the Negro to dispel that Fear and educate the white group through sound and effective propaganda. It is up to the Negro to do his utmos to whittle down race prejudice. It is up to the present day Negro to spare the future generation the heart-rending struggle we have experienced. Many of our best white friends who were so helpful in giving sound advice, skillful and wholeshearted support and powerful influence have passed away. New ones in increasing numbers must take their places because the Negro group in America will never be strong enough physically, intellectually or financially to isolate itself and serve. We need greater sympathy and understanding between the two so-called races and we cannot expect to get it unless we put our minds and money squarely behind a program of building up esteem, respect and, understanding for, and confidence in, our worth, our achievements, our contributions and our potentialities as an integral of the American people. To this end our people of intelligence and vision, regardless of religious faith, sectional prejudices, business affiliations, fraternal connections or alma maters must labor diligently. The program requires intellect, organization, preparation, training, experience and money. There is plenty of intelligence in our group; we have so much money that we can spend millions every summer staging fruitless fraternal conventions, and we have the organization already at hand with its staff of trained, experienced and nationally respected propagandists already at work we only need to drop our petty, asinine and enervating prejudices and put our shoulders (or pocket books) to the wheel. If our progress is bogged in the mire of misunderstanding, the "Talented Tenth" of America, who boast of their race patriotism and group loyalty, will be to blame. GEORGE S. SCHUYLER 13.

No other railroad offers you such complete travel facilities. You have your choice of through Pullman sleepers, tourist cars or coaches, on fast transcontinental trains. For instance, a through tourist sleeper leaves Los Angeles every day over the famous Sunset Route, taking you all the way to Washington, D. C. without change of cars.

ANNA LOUISE GRIFFIN WEDS JOHN T. NELSON, JR., IN BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY BY: GLADYCE T. GREENAWAY THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN 婚禮 MR. AND MRS. JOHN T. NELSON, JR. IN BRIDAL COSTUME MRS. JOHN T. NELSON, JR. WHO, BEFORE HER MARRIAGE, WAS MISS ANNA LOUISE GRIFIN Offsetting to full a beauty of the bridesmaid color of their gowns, w in severe full dress, w At one of the most beautiful weddings ever witnessed in Los Angeles Miss Anna Louise Griffin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Griffin, members of one of Los Angeles' pioneer families, of 1380 East 48th Place, became the bride of Mr. John T. Nelson Jr., Saturday evening, November 30th at the St. Phillip's Episcopal Church Father W. T. Cleghorn, officiating. The church was filled to overflowing, and the scent of the many beautiful flowers filled the edifice. An organ solo, "O Promise Me," by Mr. Leon Edwards, was followed by the rendition of "The Hour of Golden Promise," by Mr. Lee Grigsby. The charming Miss Teresa Harris, superbly gowned in marine blue with golden turban, and corsage of pink roses, sang equitely that sad, heart rending song, "I Love You Truth." As the notes of the organ pealed forth, the bridesmaids entered; Miss Elizabeth Perkins, lovely in peach ruffled taffetta, with peach slippers, and silver wrapped turban, and ribboned flowers on the shoulder of her gown, carrying pink and red sweet peas; Miss Thelma Overton, wearing green taffetta, with slippers of the same hue, with delicately shaded flowers on the shoulder of her gown, a silver wrapped turban, and carrying a bouquet of pink sweet peas; Miss Gwendolyn Diggs, in yellow taffetta, with yellow satin slippers, silver wrapped turban, and carrying a bouquet of yellow sweet peas. The gowns of the bridesmaids were all made in Spanish style, floor length, and ruffled, with long lines. All were crystal drop earings and crystal necklaces. Next came the Matron of Honor—Mrs. Lva Sharp; appearing in a beautifully draped orchid chiffon gown, silhouette style with train, orchid slippers, and net hat with rhinestones, and carrying a bouquet of yellow and orchid sweet peas. The best man, Mr. Buck Parker, next entered with the groom, Mr. John T, Nelson, Jr., and both men took their places at the side of the arch. Then the Maid of Honor, Miss Irene Marvin, who wore pink tulle and satin, ruffled, beaded in pearls and crystals, with brocaded slippers to match, silver turban, and carrying a bouquet of deep pink roses. Bearing himself as befits the occasion, the little ring bearer, Master Earnest Bailey, attired in miniature full dress walked down the carpeted aisle, carrying a heart shaped pillow made of embroidered linen, upon which reposed the wedding ring. Next followed the we flower girls, Miss Eleanor Bijoul, attired in blue ruffled georgette, and carrying a tiny basket of sweet peas, which she scattered before her, and Miss Leontine Taylor, very sweet in coral tafetta, also carrying a basket of sweet peas. are planning plenty whoopee for the Holidays so hold on fellows. 一，一 THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN Offsetting to full advantage the beauty of the bridesmaids, and the color of their gowns, were the wakers in severe full dress, who took their respective places beside them. They were: Messrs. George Tute, Alfref, Barett, and Lee Grigshy. Then, as the toes of the "Bridal Chorus" from Lofenggrin Wedding March softly stole over the church, causing the ripple of interest of latius, friends, acquaintances, and well-wishers, to swell into volume, Father Cleghorn took his place under an arch composed of chrysanthems, rose buds, sweet peas, steveders, and maiden hair fern, with a huge white bell in the center, baskets of the same flowers and potted plants surround the arch. The bride came slowly in on the arm of her father, making a most charming picture. The slender loveliness of Miss Griffin set off to perfection the long lines of the gorgeous floor-length ivory- chiffon wedding gown, with yoke and hem of finest lace, and long tight sleeve sleeves; dainty ivory satin slippers peeping from under the hem of her gown. The chiffon and lace veil was cunningly made in a cap effect, corded, and sewn with the customary orange blossoms. The veil was held in place with a strap under the chin. The bride's only ornament was a string of pearls. She carried a showered bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley, with orchids nestling in among them. The sacredness of the occasion was manifested in the sunday silence as the groom slipped the ring on the finger of his bride, and the lights from the candles on the altar, cast a glow as of benediction as Father Clegborn pronounced them man and wife. Members of both families occupied the first two rows of pews, and members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, of which the bride is a member, occupied the chair seats, and all were becomingly gowned. Mrs. Annie Griffin, mother of the bride, was gowned in pink georgette, beaded in bugle beads, and wore white brocaded slippers. A corsage of pink roses was fastened on her gown. The reception was held at the Masonic Temple, 50th and Central Ave. immediately after the wedding party returned from the photographers. The bridal table was lit with tall candles, and decorated with flowers. The threetiered wedding cake held the position of honor in the center of the table. Individual ice cream and delicious cake were served. The Misses Dorotny O Neil, Jesse Mae Nickerson, Marguerite Robinson, Edythe Smith, Violet Aldridge, Lula Perdue, Marie Marvin, Bessie Harrold, and Helen Turner served the wedding party. Mr. H. F. Warren, Florist, was responsible for the really beautiful floral decorations, and Mr. Osborn for the delicious refreshments. In charge of the numerous gifts were Misses Edith Keyser, Vesta Edwards, and Mesdames Mamie Henry and Helen Wheeler-Riddle. Mr. and Mrs. John/T. Nelson, Jr. were at home to their many friends, at their beautifully appointed home, 1124% East 42nd Street after December 10th.

N.P.-According to government announcement, January 2, 1930, is the dead-line date for filing applications for adjusted service commissions. Any veteran of the great war who was honorably discharged from such service and who has not filed such application should do so without delays. The time is desperately short and there is no indication that an extension may be possible. Up to the last of June the United States Veteran Bureau reported the receipt of 3,688,368 applications either to bureau direct or through service organizations and the gigantic sum of $133,653,488 has been advanced as loans against certificates issued ex-service men. The Ntaional Council, World War Veterans, which was formed in France just nine days after the Armistice and chartered in the United States as soon as the first twelve original members returned to this country and has eleven years of real service to veterans to its credit, comes forward in a nation-wide effort to aid the colored veteran secure his government compensation, without regard to whether the veteran happens to be a member of any of the colored post's or any other association. As usual, it is conducting a free service to veterans and oependants. Newspapers have been asked to give the matter publicity and any officer of a World War Veteran Post, or department or division will gladly aid in preparing the application. Those who wish may send their names and addresses to The Adjutant General, World War Veterans, Box 1121, St. Petersburg, Fla. Proper forms will be mailed without delay.

Temple, 803 E. 32n] St., Phone, HU. 3419 or V. 1221.] QUESTIONS ANSWERED Ans. Yes, a man may have Gonorrhoea and not know what he has, he may know that he has some kind of disease but the exact nature of the disease may not be plain to him. On the other hand, most men are painfully conscious that they have Gonorrhoea. When this dread diseases fastens upon them and many, many times they do all within their power to prevent the wife from suspecting the existence of the disease. Every intelligent woman should be on the outlook for the very obvious signs of Gonorrhoea in her mate. If you notice that your husband is ill, find out if you can the cause and nature of his illness. If spots looking like corruption or corruption and blood are noticed upon his clothing, or the bed then insist upon his having an examination by some physician whom you know to be honest, and then secure, if you can, a report from that physician of his exact condition. It seems very ugly to even consider seems very ugly to even consider such an unpleasant course of action on the part of a wife but the seriousness of the situation justifies the means used. Any man who is a real man will himself, however painful the duty may be, protect his wife from his disease. If he can positively protect her (that is, have no relations whatever, and care for all of the infected material passed so that it cannot contaminate the tubs, toilets, etc. used by her) with telling her his sad secret—then if he chooses, it is his privilege to do so. But generally it is not possible for one partner to actually protect the other without making a clean breast of the condition from which he on she is suffering. And as Gonorrhoea is one of the most painful diseases known to civilization, it is only fair that the party having it sould warn his mate with knowledge concerning his condition that she might be in a position to protect herself. QUESTIONS ANSWERED Once again this week we take the time from our regular subject of the care of babies to answer questions for after all I believe that your questions represent what you yourself feel the need of knowing, and thus, before I write, I am assured of your interest, and this is the most important factor in dispensing Health Education. And the real object of this column is to meet your Health Needs. Therefore continue to ask questions and if we are slow in answering them, nevertheless we will get to them in time; and give to each query our very best consideration. "WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF DEFORMED CHILDREN" The asker of the above question has certainly asked a lot. There are two definite causes known to produce deformed children, there are several, indefinite or irregular factors, and for a small amount of deformities no reason at all can be found by medical science. The two definite causes are alcohol and syphilis. The irregular or possible causes are poor health or constitutional weaknesses in either or both parents, and lastly as above stated, there is a certain per centage of deformities, both mental and physical which cannot be recounted for by any of the above factors nor by any other certain factor known to medical science. "THE DEFORMING TWINS" Alcohol and supplies are the 2 chief deformers of our children. Often they travel together. Many times they journey alone. They visit families and have scores of mentally and physically deformed children in their wake. When it either the father or mother is drunk at the time of conception the offspring is very likely to be mentally or physically deformed and often both mind and body are affected. The insane asylums in France and in other countries are filled with children who were conceived when one or both parents were drunk. But I can't give my heart to a white skin doll She's not my own baby. She can't be my pal. **The Doll Wizard** There is a wizard in our town. Will change your doll from white to brown. Fill up the cracks, mend all the knocks. Cover her crown with new raven locks Replace her faced eyes of blue With laughing eyes of coffee hue. Give her eyelashes that stay And on her old complexion lay A new brown skin that you can scrub And with a rag and soapsubs rub. The Wizard knows just what to do To make her fresh and sweet as new.

Phonn: WEstmore 2060 To Join The House Child Conference 10.—Mrs. H. R. has been invited by Wilbur, chairman sistant pastors. Many churches do not need assistant pastors, but all churches need good executives not men who want to run everything themselves but men who know how to "parcel out the work," place responsibility, and get results. In this day when laymen are intelligent it is only fair and sensible to let them help carry on the work of the church. It develops them and enriches the church. If the preachers would give the laymen more definite work to do Laymen have to have some work to do or they certainly will work on the preacher. Of course, it is not the layman's business to run the church, but it is his business to help. Don't forget while we are talking about training that the deacons and trustees need training as well as the preachers. Dumb deacons have gone out of style and trustees who cannot read and understand cannot be trusted. Our churches are too loosely organized and that is why so many members are running wild. If the ministers were practical executives this condition would not prevail. Many of our preachers like to be the whole show in the churches. They do everything from raising the collection to raising sand. That is the kind of usurpation that will result in bad management and the reason why churches run down on the ministers or run the minister down. The fact of the matter is that when it comes to the work that is done by the pastor, the average church gets a great deal mre than it pays for This. of course, is partly the preacher's fault. In too many of our churches the preacher is the lawyer, Doctor, real estate dealer, teacher, editor, social worker, taxi driver, architect, builder, banker, special adviser, politician, and preacher—thirteen in one. He is consulted about everything and tries to dabble in everything. A jack of all trades in the pulpit is usually a "jackleg." Every preacher should be interested in Community Welfare, but no man can fill thirteen positions without running into some kind of bad luck in handling twelve of them. The sensible preacher preaches the gospel and directs the church program in which all deacons, trustees and members share with him in a large way, all the other work of the church. This leaves him a little time to study visit shut ins, conduct marriages, bury the dead, direct the general work of the church and create the atmosphere in which all members are happy to work. The right kind of pastor knows how to make the people work while he steers the ship. CHURCHES Metropolitan Baptist Church—Dr. E. W. Moore, pastor, Sunday evening the Brotherhood sent a resolution to president Hoover indorsing his investigation of the recent Hati killing.

BURROUGHS (For the Associated Negro Press) (For the Associated Negro Press) Preachers, as a class, are just about as human as men in other character-building professions. Some of them get as much pay; many of them get more presents; all of them get more dissecting and analyzing. The best ones never get what they deserve and the crooked ones get away with too much. The fraternity as a whole gets more confidences and bury more secrets than the members of other International Orders of the Helpers of Men. Ministers occupy a more responsible position than any other class of men. They should, therefore, be cleaner in character more unselfish in purpose, qualified in training, progressive in ideals, social-minced in spirit, devout in heart, and not lazy. Modern standards and conditions require that ministers fill their minds before they open their mouths. The blind cannot lead the blind, and those who have sight are not going to let the blind lead them. Ministers of today have super-human tasks to perform and they must not only be called of God and then trained in the theology but they must have special training in executive and administrative church work. Tehir first duty, however, is to preach the gospel. To make their work effective they must know how to plan, adopt, manage, direct, and develop a program of Christian service. They must be city preachers and, at the same time, gospel farmers. They must flow the field, plant the seed and cultivate the crop. It requires intelligence, technical training, consecration, industry, love, sanctified common sense, and vision to do it. The minister stands in a large place of opportunity and obligation, and no ordinary men can stand there. Character is the first qualification, without that the minister is a' menace. We have thousand to take their word for it since it is God's business to do the calling, but since the churches must have prepared men, it might be their business to call the "called" to prepare. The early ministers among Negroes had the spirit which was a fine substitute for their educational lack. They were marvelous men. Some of them are still going on gloriously, but we have a large army of young gospel hoboes who lack everything except lung power. Instead of going to school they make a beeline for the pulpit and wade around misrepresenting the Lord. They should not be allowed to try to preach until they are prepared.

A wedding anniversary was showered on Mr. and Mrs. Walter North of 794 Winona St. Detroit, Mich., Dec. 10—Because the church council refused to admit Negroes to the membership, Rev. A. J. Helm resigned as pastor of the Bethel Evangelical church of Detroit, according to an announcement made here Sunday. A beautiful buffet supper was served. Among those present were: Dr. and Mrs. McRiley; Mr. and Mrs. Pearl; Boyd; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Tunstill; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carrol; Mr. Olive Stevens, Miss Louise Johnson; Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kelley; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harper; Mrs. Mc Wharton and Mrs. Cook of Los Angeles. A Negro woma phad attended the church several years and recently applied for membership. The pastor recommended that they be accepted but the church council steadfastly refused on the grounds that they were Negroes. Have you seen the new Graham Pharmacy across the street from the old location? Discussing the affair, Dr. Helm declared: "To refuse church membership to anyone not of the same race is to deny the most obvious teaching of Jesus, and to give the ethical sanctions of Christianity to race prejudice."

However, before you make out your Christmas book list, don't fail to visit your nearest library, the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch, 2330 Naomi Ave. or the Vernon Branch, 4504 Central Ave. and read some of the delightful new books to be found on their shelves in order that you may be able to select books that will be sure to please. James Branch Cabell's new novel "The Way of Evben" is a charming fantasy which relates the story of a king who travels through life remaining eternally faithful to a dream. Mr. Cabell' exquisite prose makes this book a delight to read. For an encouraging, thoughtful study of present-day civilization, one cannot find a more inspirational work than "Whither Mankind" which is edited by Charles A. Beard and contains contributions from seventeen of the foremost thinkers of the day. Following on the heels of "Strange Interlude" Eugene O'Neill's latest play "Dynamo" is achieving a success equal to that of its predecessor. It is a strong, powerful drama and contains some of the author's best writing. The author of "The Book Nobody Knows" has written a small volume of wise and witty essays about such simple, timeless topics as: neighbors, courage, business, religion, children and pleasure which seem to have a special relation to the life of every reader. Bruce Barton's new book is appropriately entitled "On the Up and Up." There are numerous fields to explore in books: poetry, drama. biography, travel, fiction, music and so forth. Something can be found to suit every taste at your library if you will seek suggestions for Christmas gift books there.

Friendship has nothing to o and enjoyed the personal friend memory of man runneth not t but the essence of the whole si is bringing even greater things file have no alternative except sourceful and progressive leader Readers who appreciate ability in writing and the qualifications of a man who by experience and insight, will unfold to you week after week as in the case of Wm. J. Wheaton who has for many years written the Comments in this publication, understand that he does so without any limitations and is not subject to the blue pencil. If such was not the case it would not be Wheaton who would be writing. However, even in this situation he has not, nor will he abuse the privileged. Our readers will appreciate further that Mr. Wheaton's sentiments are not necessarily the sentiments of this publication, and we have never made any suggestion to him at any time on any subject whatever. Thus far we feel we have been justified to the utmost. Speaking further we call attention to the fact that our position is absolutely opposite to his as it concerns the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, J. Finley Wilson. We are strongly of the opinion that J. Finley Wilson is the greatest fraternal organizer of all time within our group. He started from the lowest rung and scaled the heights and put the Elks to the forefront. In appreciation of this service, of course the Order has exalted him and given to him lee way which enables him to continue with the onward march. Friendship has nothing to do with situation. This writer has known and enjoyed the personal friendship of the Exalted Ruler "since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." That is not the point, but the essence of the whole situation is, he has brought things to pass, is bringing even greater things to pass and is on his way. The rank and file have no alternative except to rally to the standard of the astute, resourceful and progressive leader.

Fifteen per cent of life insurance now in force on lives of citizens of the United States is in the group form. Group insurance is regarded as the most important innovation the insurance industry ever fostered, because it has given insurance protection to millions of workers and their dependents and has exerted a stabilizing effect on labor. Many persons insured under the group plan carry no other insurance and die leaving no other estate. Statistics over a long period of years have demonstrated that wage-earners generally have been underinsured, and a large percentage of them uninsured. They show that 40 per cent of them carry no insurance and that the other 60 per cent are insured for an average of $500. Another investigation which dealt with payments made under group insurance policies covering 3,000 cases disclosed that 83 per cent of the beneficiaries were virtually penniless. The benefits of group insurance, which account no doubt for its popularity, have come to all concerned. Insurance companies are able to issue this form of insurance at low premiums because solicitation expenses are reduced, medical examinations are eliminated and employers collect the premiums for the insurance companies. The insured are able to obtain coverage regardless of age or physical condition, rates are low and often paid in whole or part by employers, and beneficiaries have the added advantage of immediate settlements. Employers discovered it stabilized labor. Designed by insurance companies as a means of increasing business, it could not have succeeded but for the fact that both workers and employers found it useful and valuable.

Like all such purifications speakably rich. Thanksgiving is past, a reminder that the cleansing season of fall and advancing winter is fully come. With that day, so fatal to the self-indulgent turkey, came the conventional end of the football season. On the whole, America knows no greater social inspiration than in these weeks when the youth of the land, sons of so many diverse homes, do their proud battle on the amateur grid. It is a time when great reputations are made, when proud parents jealously store up mementos and fears and rejoicings for the rest of their days, when companionships born of the grunting struggle over the pigskin bespeak a lifetime of easy, tolerant understanding and, as well, an instinct for the thing that is fair. The weeks are few but glorious. The earth changes its appearance and the mellow current of awakening rigors breathes manfully over the sport. Youth, indestructible, eternal, has its magnificent days and the eyes of the world are attracted from the sordid things of commerce, in sport and business, to the development of the race, mingled with such indiscriminate origin, in the honest contest of tradition. Life provides this autumn interludes as a medium of sanity. The lots are filled with muddied groups. The soccer ball and the "egg" fly wantonly into the sideline crowds. The shouts of happy boys, the groan of straining bodies, the fevered yell of the enthusiast, these are the expressions of the cleansing, of the renewal that goes on within everyone of us who shares the celebration of youth finding the disciplined outlet for its ardors. Like all such purifications of the spirit, the time is short and unspeakably rich. SECRET OF POPULARITY Many folks, particularly rly because they are not "popu admirers and friends. Many p popularity. They feel it shows if a persons is to live sincerely a others, and make himself exceed Popularity comes in differ a lot of people acquired popu 'set em up.' This was the b start. They were always ready brass rail and have several rlarity by free spending, by living directions. On the other hand many themselves to some public cause Many folks, particularly young people of reserved natures, worry because they are not "popular." They envy folks who always have admirers and friends. Many people of superior intellect look down on popularity. They feel it shows a too easy-going nature. They hold that if a person is to live sincerely and do his duty, he must often antagonize others, and make himself exceedingly unpopular. Popularity comes in different ways. In the old days of free liquor a lot of people acquired popularity by the freedom with which they "set em up." This was the basis on which many politicians got their start. They were always ready to line up their friends in front of the brass rail and have several rounds "on me." Many people win popularity by free spending, by living extravagantly and scattering cash in all directions. On the other hand many people acquire popularity by devoting themselves to some public cause. College boys who carry on student activities, usually acquire popularity. They are entitled to it because they have to devote much time to maintaining the reputation of their institution. Similarly in community life. Many people acquire popularity just by giving a great deal of effort to public activities, often more than superior persons who criticise them are willing to devote to such causes. Many people acquire popularity by the friendly interest they show everybody, by a winsome smile and cordial manner. People who live self-absorbed lives are not popular and do not deserve to be. Any person can acquire a certain measure of popularity by manifesting interest and doing helpful things for others and performing service for the community. GETTING RIGHT DOWN TO BRASS TACKS "God helps those who help themselves" is an old time adage which we cannot get away from and right here in Los Angeles, with fifty or more thousand of our group, who eat, wear clothes, use telephones, ride street cars, sleep and in fact do all the things and use all the commodities that the other million use, there is no good excuse for a failure to get due benefits from our very ownselves. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Yes, we should maintain thrivig and prosperous business. We should absolutely insist on due consideration for employment in stores conducted by other than our group, where our trade is largely a contributory part to its success. Having this in mind a campaign along this line of effort is on our program for the incoming year. In this effort we are asking the support in every way possible by our people who believe it is due time they should wage battle to help themselves. We admit an inspiration from the gallant fight which the Chicago Whip has waged in that city and we feel that we shall have the support of all fair minded citizens in our effort.

A plain matter of facts contains a review of his past stewardship, unplain in the future.

Scores of other boy given nation-wide publicity. If by some to hurdle the barrier and get over, its at the hole in a Swiss cheese that he don't President Herbert C. Hoover has presented his views to the Upper and Lower Houses of Congress. A plain matter of fact document of about 12000 words contains a review of his past stewardship and what he hopes to accomplish in the future. He has not changed his mind on rate and power control by the Federal Government and speaks very plain on the question of law enforcement and the Volstead act. In speaking of law enforcement and observance, he says, "We need to reestablish faith in that the highest interest of our country are served by insistence upon the swift and even-handed administration of justice to all offenders, whether they be rich or poor." It is to be hoped that the President had some other forms of crime in mind as well as the enforcement of the 18th Amendment. We hope that he had in mind the violation of the 14th and 15th Amendments which have been practically nullified in some sections of the nation. When he says, "Law cannot rise above its source in good citizenship." He is giving a severe reprimand to that section of the nation which boasts of its nullification of certain sections of the Constitution and—possibly without intention—put them in the column of the citizens who obey only those laws which they deem necessary. In the matter of Federal control of hydro-electric power he says, "I do not favor the operation by the Government of either power or manufacturing business except as an unavoidable by-product of some major public purpose." We have always claimed that such control should belong to the state or municipality. There is nothing idealistic about the message. It is a straightforward document of a practical mind. They have been trying to coax Congressman Philip D. Swing to enter the lists as a contender for the office of Governor of California. Of course, the Congressman won't give any answer to the many requests. It's fun to keep the boys guessing. Besides it's good politics. But there is a picture of the Congressman giving up his seat in the nation's lawmaking body for a whirl at the governorship. It's a very high honor to govern such a glorious state as the "Golden Bear" but the co-worker of Senator Hiram Johnson in the fight for the Boulder Dam can serve California just as well in Washington as Sacramento. Controller Ray Riley is doing a little political irrigation in spots where his opposition will be greatest. By irrigation it is not meant that the Controller is breaking the 18th Amendment, but that he is watering the soil for growth of reduced tax propaganda. Do not be surprised if the Speaker of the Assembly, Edgar Levy, would be groomed for a seat in the national lawmaking body. The popular speaker would give any opposing candidate a splendid contest. Alonzo S. Parham, cadet West Point Military Academy, is very much in the public eye. It seems, says the New York World (daily) that word has got abroad that Parham might flunk his mathematical exams, at the Christmas examinations and thereby get an honorable dismissal from Uncle Sam's training school for army officers. In prize ring parlance, it looks like Parham is looking for a soft place in the canvas to flop, and picked out mathematics as the soft place. The article, or story in the World tells of the isolated life Parham leads at the academy. Sleeping alone, studying alone, with no one, aside from the tutors to give him any assistance. No offer of help from any of the upper classmen, in fact, treated with courteous insolence. Admitting all of that, Parham should move heaven and earth to pass those mathematical examinations. The story in the World goes on to say how many of the young white first and second classmen have failed in their previous exams, and qualifies by saying that they may be able to catch up by being assisted by upper classmen, while Parham, unless he climbs on his own initiative, is doomed. It is too bad that because of Parham's color he should be made the object of such publicity. Scores of other boys have flunked and it was not given nation-wide publicity. If by some means this boy should manage to hurdle the barrier and get over, its wealth of a Henry Ford to the hole in a Swiss cheese that he don't get a two inch write up. * * * * * nell, Jr., is dead: He died at his home in to the Negro of the South Atlantic State, the Negro of the Mid-West.

Mitchell was to the Negro of the South Atlantic States, what Nick Chiles was to the Negro of the Mid-West. Forceful, virile, ever claiming that the law should be administered without prejudice and justice should be administered without regard to race or color. Mitchell achieved some recognition in the world of finance, but was better known as a fearless editor of his weekly, The Richmond Planet. He came prominently in the public eye when he defied a mob bent on the lynching of a colored youth, and with a shot-gun across his knees drove the boy to the jail. For years he was a figure at the conventions of the National Bankers' Conventions. With the passing of these men a new generation of Negroes arrive. Will they measure up to the standard set by those of the generation past? Are they developing a leadership which will accomplish more? We are watching, patiently, for the sign. Mrs. Ethel Clark, executive secretary of the Booker T. Washington Community Centre, at San Francisco, and director of the choral club of the Centre, sponsored a recital which has been the talk of the musicians throughout the city. The rendition of the spirituals, according to one of the musical critics, was artistic without detracting from their native beauty. The technique and shading gave evidence of an understanding training. Mrs. Abbie Mitchell, New York, dramatist and singer, was the guest of the soloist. Her interpretations of the numbers rendered deserve nothing but a favorable criticism. The recital was given in the auditorium of the Scottish Rite Temple. It is just such things that go to place the name "Negro" in the respect column. You don't have to go "aping" after some other. The Negro has within himself greater possibilities in the artistic world, at least, than can be obtained by the imitation of others. Speaking of the immigration problem, the President said in his message, "Restriction of immigration has from every respect proved a sound national policy." A study of fthe critics of the present immigration law show a coterie whose aims, if not mercenary, are of a personal selfish nature. A study of your crime list will reveal names that have all of the ear marks of peoples who believe in the vendetta and who carry the fuels to the death. They have no regard for the rule of constituted authority, No law but the law of personal vengeance. Can those people be assimilated? Can they fully enter into the ideals of the national life? Four fifths of them have but the one aim for being in the United States. The accumulation of money: Dollars are hoarded and withdrawn from circulation. Standards of living are at the minimum until the newer generation gain control. Immigration based on the present quota may prove unfavorable to the races about the Mediterranean area and favor those of Northern Europe, but it is all the same as far as the American Negro is concerned. Uncle Sam receives him with open arms and he is early taught to despise any dark skin if American born. The immigrant may bring with him the spirit of the vendetta, or the thrift which will bury its earning in the earth in a tin can vault. It's all the same. His odor of the steerage may not have fully evaporated, but he can get accommodation in the finest of the hostelfrs. You can't, Mr. Negro, although you have assisted in the making of this nation great. The Methodist church is not our ideal in the propaganda of public issues, but we agree with it in the matter of immigration. General Grant once said that "There is only three political parties. The Republican, Democratic and the Methodist church." So I guess that latter party will have to be reckoned with. * * * ?

It is for the dispensation of charity will which comes from the subordinate degree of orderly procedure. The using of Negroes by white persons to settle personal grudges in property disputes should not be encouraged. Lately whenever some white person becomes involved in property quarrel, the first thing that is thought of is the placing of a sign "To Rent or for Sale to Colored Persons." It appears that in one of the restricted districts of Brooklyn, N.Y., there was a clause prohibiting owners of property from housing under their roofs other than those of their immediate family. It seems that one of the signator broke the contract and aroused the displeasure of the community. In order to reek vengeance on the "opressors" they sought out a Negro family of some dozen or more members and have offered to rent them with provision of sale the property. The question arises: Is it good policy to allow members of the race to be used as cat's paws for the pulling of "Nordic" chestnuts from the fire? Is it helping the understanding for racial amity? There is no doubt but the persons who are turning over the property to Negroes have not sought to find the class which by culture and social standing would be a credit to any community. Rather they have sought t uplace in that district Negroes of a different class. If the move was made from the standpoint that the Negro had the perfect right to live wherever his means permit, it would be of another nature, but to use him for the chargin of their personal enemies should not be countenanced. And it is to be hoped that the better seeing Negroes of the vicinity of Brooklyn and New York will discountenance the move. Throughout the country services in memory of departed members of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., were held on the Sunday of December 8th. Many eulogistic orations were given and the virtues and ideals of the Order held before the public gaze. Charity and Brotherly Love were stressed. Ideals of subordination of self and abnegation of unworthy actions in order that the sunlight of Christian brotherhood might triumph, were preached from the house tops. How much of that was as the tinkling of brass cymbals or the song of the siren will be learned in the future. It will be learned if the dispensing of charity will be done for the furtherance of personal aggrandizement or if it will truly be given in the spirit for which the Order was founded. There is no other Order that is more generous in its gifts for the general welfare than the I. B. P. O. E. and ithas been exemplified to the highest degree. When the Convention met at Kansas City, Mo., Bishop Brooks was introduced and made a plea for assistance in the founding of a school in Africa. He was given agenerous gift. Soon it became broad cast that the Elks were easy and every succeeding convention has witnessed an increase in the number of applications for financial assistance for this or that object. We remember a little bit, of what should be termed comedy, at the session held in Cleveland, Ohio. "Charity" was being doled out with no regard for the funds. All that some had to ask was "Give me" and he or they were given. There was one insistent brother? who wore a long brown "ankle-beater" looked like a preacher from some of the rural districts. He finally got the eye or ear of the G. F. R., and the following dialogue took place: Brown Coat—"I'm here to solicit for"—just then BobRidley, self-appointed guardian for all grand officers, interrupted and we could not get the object of the solicitation. But we after caught this: G. E. R.—"Are you an Elk?" "No," replied he of the brown coat. "Then go out and get some horns on you and we can talk." The surprise of several of us was, how did "Brown Coat" get past the two score extra inner guards if he did not belong? It is to be trusted that some better means for the dispensation of charity will be worked out, and that the money which comes from the subordinate bodies will be expended with a greater degree of orderly procedure. An Appeal to Reason Newspapers have recently been full of stories about lobbyists and lobbyists at our national capital. It has been revealed that Mr. Shearer through his efforts greatly enriched the shipbuilding interests; that Mr. Grundy has for a quarter century labored to protect the blighted corporations of Pennsylvania; that Mr. Evanson, thanks to the efforts of Senator Bingham, has practically dictated the new tariff rates on commodities manufactured by his employers in the Nutmeg state, while Mr. William Burgess, representing the United States Pottery Association, has been so diligent in trying to keep a high tariff on imported chinaware that he has brought upon himself the consure of the Senate. Lobbyists are paid representatives of industries or groups stationed at strategic legislative points to further the interests of their employers. There is nothing sinister about their work unless it is hidden from the public. They are often of valuable assistance to the legislators and the public because a private interest frequently becomes a public one. I wonder how many Negroes have considered the necessity for lobbyists for the colored people of this country. Certainly we need them as much as the hundreds of corporations and industries do. And we need them far more urgently than do the Methodist Church, the Ku Klux Klan, the Prohibitionists and the advocates of "blue" Sundays. More than any other group in this country we need to watch our 49 legislatures and see that no legislation inimical to our interests is introduced. We need trained lobbyists to keep burning brightly the firs of opposition to Negrophobism. We need an anti-lynching law; we need to prevent, if possible, the passage of any more discriminatory legislation whether affecting labor, education or marriage, and to work for the repeal of that already in force; we need civil rights laws in many more of the States and we need to see that they are enforced; we need to end the dis- --- persons to settle personal grudges in huraged.

We need, I repeat, a trained propagandist in Washington, D. C. and at every state capital. The cradle of laws is the legislature. Unless we are alert and make our power felt, when we discover that they are inimical to our interests. Remember, it's the fellow who yells loudest that gets the most attention. The cost of such a powerful lobby would not exceed $500,000 a year or less than 5 cents a year from every Negro man, woman and child. It is certain that Negroes who can afford to travel to football "classics," attend fraternal and church conventions and spend $50 or $60 a year getting their hair "con", can afford a nickel or even a dollar for the defense of their interests. So far this task has been left to the few thousand Negroes who support the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It has been efficiently done considering the meager amount of money contributed, but it has only scratched the surface. It is a national organization with a fighting leadership and even its severe critics (and I'babong them) will not say that it hasn't given the Negroes their money's worth. A group of ten million people can't expect much for seventy or eighty thousand dollars. Negroes don't need any new organization; they only need to support and modernize those they have, but it seems as if they are loath to support anybody except dance hall proprietors, patient medicine benders, whiteners, numbers bankers and the like. And then, when trouble looms on the horizon they demand that the N. A. A. C. P, or some other such organization defend them. This halting and spasmatic policy of group defense must make way for a well-organized and constant policy of informed aggressiveness at strategic points. This calls for a lot of money but only a little from each person. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could put it over? I don't expect the majority of Negroes to be interested in this matter Friday, December 13, 1929 ONE ECONOMIC BLUNDER GOLDEN RULE BY: THE DEACON --- A rich man buys an automobile And drives it two hundred thousand miles; Then exchanges it with a dealer. For one of the latest styles. A poor man with no income Buys this worn-out machine, And dolls it up with colors, Of red, black, blue and green The cylinders are loose and worn The springs begin to squeak; The valves are out of order, And the radiator leaks. The old bus needs repairing, And to the garage it must go; There to be tinkered on, By one supposed to know. This autocrat machine man, Expert on cars and trucks; Repairs the intestines of this car, And charges fifty bucks. Bright and early Sunday morning He starts at half past six; But before he's traveled twenty miles, The old bus is out of fix. The tires are weak and flabby, Like an old man with the gout: They cannot stand the pressure, And the inner tubes blow out. The old tubes are replaced, With new ones the owner bought; But when he pays the cost bill, He is twenty dollars short. Monday the clutch is stuck, The starter refused to sound; These are warning signs, That the battery has run down. Tuesday the gas tank is dry, As any china plate; The house rent is now past due, But the landlord, he must wait. Wednesday the crank case leaks, The differential is dry as dust; The monthly installment must be Or he'll lose this worn-out bus. The thought of riding street cars Fills his eyes with tears; While dodging the heartless collectors Fills his mind with griefs and fears. The man who has a bank account, And owns an humble home; Is honored and respected, For the wisdom in his dome. Buy whatever you may need, On the cash and carry plan; Stand up for truth and justice, And be, a self-respecting man. If we stop buying radios, And let worn-out junk alone; We will soon be happy owners, Of well-appointed homes. I've been a Negro a long time and I know the tribe. I am appealing, rather, to the half million enlightened minority that boasts of its intelligence, its education and its group patriotism. If every member of this intelligent minority would give the N. A. A. C. P. a Christmas present of a dollar membership, we could have a trained lobbyist in every capital, state and national, who might be able to accomplish as much for us as Shearer did for the armament manufacturer. GEORGE S. SCHUYLER THIS TERRITORY—BOZZANI MOTOR CAR COMPANY—SUNSET BOULEVARD AND NORTH BDWY. APPPOINTED STUDEBAKER, ERSKINE DEALERS. "We take great pride in making this announcement of appointment by the Paul G. Hoffman Company as dealers for the Champion Studebaker Six and Eight cylinder cars for this territory," states Mr. A. Bozzani, president of the Bozzani Motor Car Co. "We would like to give the people of this community to get the best car for the least chance to get the best car for the least money, and this was our chief thought in accepting this appointment." The Bozzani Bros, Amerigo and Joseph worked for several years in the automobile factories of the East before coming to California. They started in the bicycle, motorcycle, and auto repair business in Los Angeles, and have been in the automobile business for twenty-seven years. This business has expanded in 27 years to where their plant at Sunset and North Broadway covers 85,000 square feet of ground space or practically one entire block. They feel that this vast experience has placed them in a position to be able to render the people of this community a service which they are sure will meet with the approval of all. The Bozzani Brothers are confident that in the Champion Studebaker line they have selected a line of cars that places them in a position to give their clients the greatest value in automobile history in a car of unquestionable reputation for value, economy, beauty, long life, re-sale value, safety, and prestige. Studebaker holds all records for endurance and speed for stock cars in all their respective price classes; as well as eleven world's records or more records than all the other builders combined.

Five stories up in the confines of the Y. W. C. A. I gaze out on the myriad walls that stolidly present their backs for one's consideration. I think on the works of the mightiest of men, these New Yorkers. Out towards the city proper my gaze is focused on the so-called sky-scrapers' that lose some what of their awe and splendor with the distance over all the black clouds gather the heat presses in upward from the clanging tumultuous streets, downward from the gloomy skies. Stupid, you know, to speak of the weather in New York, to complain of such a common place, accepted thing would be to admit the importance of man. How ridiculous such an admission to a New Yorker. So sure of himself, so secure in his knowledge that he leads others strive to follow. The whole nation, as it were, receive dictation from him, what they should wear, when to wear it and how it should be worn. His voice is the loud one in determining the attitude that the president should assume in affairs national and international. New York, the seat of wealth, the throne of censorship of art, culture If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened and science that may be born in lesser communities, throughout the U. S. I think of this when I note the air of sophistication with which young women breeze in and out of the Y. W. C. A. To them the Y. W. C. A., is just a place where they may get livable quarters at a price, obtainable by stadily working and applying their entire proceeds to the basic needs of life, or, having been freed from the necessity of worshipping at the shrine of the Almighty Dollar; that somehow in New York has greater speed and lesser power; they find in it a heaven from the ambitious male who would that she share with him her fortune and favors, when with my bought and paid for key I entered the tiny 6X9 enclosure designated a room, some of the formioablness of New York fell away at the sight of the simple single bed, riggid pine dresser, little straight legged table with their plain coverings. Here, recluse of some of the "select" of New York, so free from artifact, conforming to the primary needs of womankind. One felt that here she could just be herself, without show or astentation. I am to become used to the public bath, the horror of this institution gives way before the clammy htat of New York. There are good accommodations in these, four to the floor with two whole roomfuls of wash stands that there should be no inconvenience cleanliness seems to be the watchword of the place each day clean linens on the bed, orderly kept halls and rooms. A spacious cafeteria with good home cooked food gives service to the community at large. The laundry rooms beauty parlors in the basement and comfortably furnished reception room add much in making a home like atmosphere.

By Irene A. Freeman, Sec'y. FRANK H. MOUSER, FORMER PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATOR ENDORSES RAY L. RILEY FOR GOVERNOR Frank H. Mouser a well-known businessman of Los Angeles who served several times in the California Legislature and helped to place on the statute books the progressive legislation that has made California one of the most progressive states in the Union has endorsed Ray L. Riley for Governor. Mr. Mouser Says: "If the people want to continue to control the government of California; if they want the public utility corporations of the state subject to just and fair regulation; if they want the departments and institutions of the state government to display energy and efficiency in handling their respective tasks; if they want the state institutions modernized and in charge of men and women of undoubted executive ability and business capacity, with waste and extravagance eliminated; if they want the laws placing men, women and children above the dollar to remain upon our statute-books; then they should nominate and elect Ray L. Riley, California's constructive Controller the next Governor of our state. THE PEOPLE SHOULD CONTROL "Ray L. Riley should be nominated and elected Governor because his political program is based on constructive business principles and political reform. He believes big business and public service corporations should be given encouragement and fair treatment; but that they should be subject to proper regulatory laws. FAVORS REORGANIZING THE STATE'S BUSINESS "Ray L. Riley should be nominated and elected Governor because he favors reorganizing the State's business-like basis and that departments within departments and boards within boards and commissions within commissions should be abolished as they are the haven of rest for the political parasite and the political hanger-on. ADOPTED UNIFORM SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTING "Ray L. Riley should be nominated and elected Governor because during his term as State Comptroller he has installed a uniform system of accounting which keeps a correct record of the affairs of each institution and department of teh state government. The head of each state institution and department is given practically autocratic power over the internal conduct of his institution and department; but Ray L. Riley keeps a strick check on all the expenditures. This uniform system of accounting has been of great service to the institutions and departments. In short, on account of this uniform system of accounting the state knows the correct amount of finances and is able to pay its bills promptly and get discounts and the institutions and departments are able to carry out the purposes for which they were created. FAVORS EQUABLE TAX SYSTEM "Ray L. Riley should be nominated and elected Governor because he stands for an equable tax system. There are great inequalities in the present tax system. Mr. Riley believes this should be remedied at the earliest date possible and that a system of taxation adopted in which all alike should be treated equally and fairly. REAL ECONOMY "Ray L. Riley should be nominated and elected Governor because he stands for constructive economy. The cost of the state government is constantly increasing by lightening rapidly. Mr. Riley believes in a forward and constructive policy of public improvement; but he believes the state should receive a dollar's worth of value for every dollar expanded. FAVORS FARMERS, VETERANS AND WORKERS "Ray L. Riley should be nominated and elected Governor because he believes the birdens of the former should be lightened by liberal appropriation to take care of flood control and solve irrigation projects and study rural credits; because he believes the interest of the veterans of American wars should be fully protected; and because the workers of the state should be looked after and helped. Laws should be enacted for their protection and laws now on the statute-books beneficial to them should be properly enforced. Ray L. Riley is in full sympathy with the man and woman who earn their daily bread by honest toil. FULLY QUALIFIED FOR GOVERNOR "Ray L. Riley should be nominated and elected Governor because he is fully qualified by education, temperment and public experience to fill this LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1929 high and important office with understanding and benefit to the people. He is a born leader. He has led fights with skill and indomitable courage. He has heart and hope and a clear vision. He has never failed or faulted in any position and the people can trust him to give them a clean, business-like government and protect the State Treasury from the grafter and the spend-thrift. Pearls of Greatness Greatness! Some are born so. Some achieve it. Upon some it is thrust. Would you be great? Then prepare to brave many storms! Greatness often involves heart aches. And broken friendships. And misunderstandings. And loniness. Great souls like mountain tops attract the storms. Be great! Yes, and beware! Be great; but behold the lives of great ones: Abraham lying to keep a young wife. Moses leading a boned people to freedom. Himself viewing it from atar. And dying on the border of it. Jesus loving all and being hated. Trusting and being deceived. Saving the world and losing his life. Columbus discovering a new world; and dying in Chains. Ceasar conquering foreign foe; and stabbed by a friend. Mohammed founding a world movement; and fleeing for his life. Joan of Arc saving France; and being crucified by France. Napoleon's career; and St. Helena Milton blessing humanity with song; and dying blind and sad and poor. Bolivar uniting South America; and dying forsaken and heart broken. George Washington defeating the British; and himself defeated by a savage surgical operation. Lincoln giving his all for humanity; and lied about and assassinated. Nietzsche founding a school of philosphy; and confined to an insane asylum. Goethe propounding great wisdom; and 70 years old and in love with a young girl Booker Washington uplifting a race; and unappreciated by that race. Beethoven drawing symphonies from the heavens; and dying in poverty. Emerson, sage of New England; and dying insane. Dunbar, poet supreme; and victim of drink. "Bob" Ingersol a humanitarian; and a victim of a superstitious age. Roland Hayes conquering the world with golden melody; and refused lodging because of his color. And so the world proceeds. Great souls born and martyred during life; and worshipped during death. To be great is to be misunderstood. AT LAST! REPUBLICANS FIND USE FOR THEIR "DARKIES" (By WILLIAM PICKENS) J. A. Arnold, white Republican leader and party lobbyist, refers to the Negro leaders of his party, casually, as "the darkeys." I mean, this is his title for the Negro Republican leaders, not for the rank and file black voters. In a letter to Vance Muse, which letter was produced as evidence in the hands of the Senate Committee investigating lobbyist corruptions, Arnold had written: "I went with the darkey today to see Vice-President Curtis." When the Committee asked who this "darkey" was, of course Arnold could not remember. But "the darkey" himself surely must know who he was, and if I were that Negro man, I would feel disposed to call on J. A. Arnold and hand him—my correct name! But Arnold is a genius, anyway, and he proposes a very simple remedy for the Republican party's "darkey" problem; namely, to give some of them to the Democrats. Then, when the Democrats point at the Republicans and cry: "Nigger! nigger!" The Republicans can shout back: "You too!" That will tend to neutralize the "darkey" differences of the two major parties. In other words, Arnold's novel and simple scheme is to get some Negroes elected on Democratic tickets from northern states to Congress and other offices. This, he hopes, would scare Southern Democrats into the Republican party. He says very frankly that Republican victory can be aided by "blackening the Democratic party" rather than by "whitewashing the Republican party." To put over this plan Arnold and his associates would use money, doublesl Republican According to reports from the National Headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in New York, Mr. Spencer Miller, Jr., Director of the Workers Educational Bureau, will address the National Negro Labor Conference, which will be held in Chicago week of January 26th on the "Negro Worker and Workers' Education." Only a Clean Skin Can be Beautiful The truly beautiful complexion is the result of cleansing the skin thoroughly every day to purge it of the dirt and grime that are in the air.

PORO FOR HAIR AND SKIN The Workers Education Bureau recently conducted a New England Labor Conference, which attracted nation wide attention because of its authoritative examinations and statements on the basic questions of economic maladjustment and rehabilitation. The Workers Educational Bureau is cooperating with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in the format and execution of a fundamental program of education relating to industrial problems and the trade union movement. According to M. P. Webster, director of the National Negro Labor Conference, a large number of delegates from Negro labor unions will appear in the sessions when Mr. Spencer Miller presents his systematic discussion on workers' education. Speaking of the Brotherhood locally, it is said that Superintendent Snoddy is using the miled fist in doing his hit to keep the men from joining and functioning in said brotherhood. But in spite of intimidation and putting faithful workers on the platform and dead heading across the country, there were 69 of them who are heroes, they stood the test of fire and voted to suit themselves in spite of Snoddy and his Micii, Florida complex. money. Think of it: Republican money and influence subsidizing and backing Negro candidates on the Democratic ticket, as a part of the Republican campaign. "By indirections find directions out" — Shakespeare (and Arnold) found out that to approach some points, one must appear to be moving in the opposite directions. So, at last the Republicans are about to find a use for their Negroes: to use them as scarecrows to frighten a few white Democrats out of the Democratic party. These same Negro Democratic officeholders, who are scarecrows to hair-brained white Democrats, are at the same time to serve as bait to brainless Negro voters and draw a few more of them into the Democratic party—in turn frightening a few more white Democrats into the Hoovercatic column—and so on and so forth. We wonder when Southern white people are going to resent being taken for common morons in politics—especially where the Negro is concerned. Arnold even intimates that President Hoover is greatly interested in this wonderful plan of solving the Republican Negro problem. He implies that the only thing is balking the Presidential mind and delaying its decision, is the momentous question as to which would be the better strategy: (1) Simply to "kick the Negro out" of the Republican party into nowhere, or (2) To smuggle and bootleg him into the Democratic domain—or at least enuf of him to cause a cessation of, the strong Democratic anti-Negro offensive against the Republican forces. In all this little game, it seems, the Negro is not to be consulted or considered at all; he is simply to be the football; the Republicans and Democrats the players. And yet some people are wondering why the conviction is gradually filtering its way thru the Negro's sound cranium, that in so far as his real interests are concerned, neither of these "old parties" is worth a damn! There will be no rain in Los Angeles, California until January 1, 1930. Dampness every night.—From a Subscriber. Late news comes to hand that steel activity is showing a gain over last week and that prices continue firm with encouraging prospects for business for the beginning of the year. Oil and rail reports are unchanged from last week, some sections reporting a heavier rail traffic and a lessening of petroleum inventories, and other sections making adverse reports. Building construction is holding its own and motor manufacturing is dull. The value of exports has jumped 48 per cent, above that of a year ago as currently published by the Port of New York authority, and it gains from other parts of the country. The gain is conceded to be general among them all. What is unsettled, there is a slump in (in futures, copper is holding to its price levels of 18 cents, coffee is higher, hires are lower, raw sugar has declined, as also has silk, rubber values have receded and retail trade shows gains in all sections among claim and department stores. The money market is easier, with time funds at 43% per cent. for all maturities. Current clearing house funds are $107,494,000 and balance is $135,000,000, and a Federal Reserve Bank credit balance of $137,000,000. There seems to be no definite price trade on the New York Stock Exchange as the public seems kath to enter the market with much trading enthusiasm either as bulls or bears. It would seem that in view of so many favorable circumstances people with funds would take advantage of the many investment bargains now to be found in the lists of all the reputable exchanges. Yields are certainly attractive money is low and so are prices. Besides, consider the impetus that the Hoover conference must give to all industry in view of the enormous expansion programs promised by the conferences. Even without such stimulation, corporations are recording earnings gains and voting extra dividends, seemingly as a reward or excuse or kabit. All these favorable factors must soon reflect themselves in stock prices.

It will be the hottest show in town. No foolin'! A snappy musical comedy of pep, spice and dancing with the high stepping chorus of Brown Beauties! "SPOOKS!" That one word contains just the elements that are necessary to make a wonderful play and such a play is now showing at the Lincoln Theater in its current attraction. It is a simple little one syable word, but in the stage presentation showing at the Avenue Play House it means many things. It means drama; it means thrills; it means suspense; it means laughter and it means adventure and believe me, there was plenty of each. One moment you are laughing as if you would die, the very next second you are brought back to all seriousness by the deepest of drama. And thrills don't mention them, you are kept on pins and needles until the last curtain goes down. You are never sure just what is going to happen how it is to happen and why, before you know what is to happen next it has been done. TWO MURDERS BEFORE EYES Conceive if you can, the sensation you could get from seeing two murders right in front of your eyes and could not be able to tell how it happened. Tell me how you would feel if you were sitting in a room and three knocks were heard and then immediately following the knocks a distinct voice was heard saying when and where the murderer was to take place and then right at the psychological moment a book on a table would fly open and the name of the next person to go would be written in blood on the front page; tell me now how would you feel? Believe it or not all of these things happen in this great melodrama, "SPOOKS" and right before your eyes. Now to get to the first of the story. A will is left by an old eccentric man thathas four heirs and a family skeleton in the closet. Before he passes on the old boy makes and signs his last will, but he leaves a clause in it that states each and every one of his four heirs would have to spend three nights beneath the very roof he died under. When the four heirs come to spend the three nights under the roof together according to the last testment, they find an old deaf and maid maid (Laura Bowman) and the old man's private secretary, Silas Willoby (Barrington Carter) who is left to carry out the will. Evelyn Preer, Lionel Monagas, Thersa Brooks, Andrew Bishop take the part of the four heirs. Andrew Bishop as Douglas Blackwell brings with him a Negro man who is his valet, but turns out to be —oh never mind go see what he really is. Aunt Judy, the deaf and maid maid isn't so dumb, go see how she regains her speech all of a sudden, and who she is. See Silas Willoby ad Inspector Ryan (Rupert Marks) killed right before your eyes an dthen think and try oigne out how it happened. See Laura Bowman, as Laura always is at her best as the old maid. Don't miss Andrew Bishop as the stuttering suitor for Evelyn's hand. The finger of suspicion pointed at various members of the four heirs and then see Cleo Desmond as Miss Brown, the trained nurse, solve the murders and capture the guilty party after the entire police force has failed. If you fail to see this great play, "Spooks" you miss one of the greatest lessons on psychology ever dramatized on the legitimate stage. SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS BABY SAL-JOHNNY ADAMS MATCH MADE By some very clever matchmaking Hess Elkins the matchmaker at the Arange Belt Arena has signed up Baby Sal Soria the hard hitting Mexican and Johnny Adams, at one time the feared Mountain Lion to do battle for ten rounds or less. And not a few of the fans' down Berdoo way think the bout will end way before the bell clangs for the tent. The battle is to be between two favorites of the town. Johnny Adams was the first big shot in the Gate City and Baby Sal Soria is the other. The used to be Mountain Lion at one time was hot stuff going and coming, the boy could fight and would fight, infact that is all he knew anything about. Adams came at a fast clip for a time and was a champ in the making in two divisions. First in the lightweight section and then in the welterweight sector. The Mountain Lion was a wizz in the lights, he was more than that he was a sensation. He had everthing that a guy needed to get over the top and he did, but not anywhere near what he should have done CHAMP OF COAST While he was at his best in the 135 pound class, Johnny topped it by winning the Pacific coast lightweight championship from a field of boxers that really packed class if they didn't have it then they found it very soon afterwards. Whenever the kid was booked to fight in Los Angeles the hometown would run special trains between Los Angeles and San Berdoo to see the kid strutt his stuff. And he would do that little thing. After he had outgrown the lightweight division. Adams stepped into the wetterweight class. But he did not create at this new weight the furrow he did in the light. He was good, but not as good as he was at 135. Another thing the Lion had been seeing just a little too much of the bright lights for his own good. He wasn't quite the same old Johnny. WOULDN'T TRAIN When it came to this training matter it went bad to worse and it got to the place where Adams just wouldn't train, maybe two or three days, if he trained a week you knew he hought he had a hard fight. Things went on like that until they went from bad to worse and the old Lion was soon taking them in the lug and he couldn't come back fighting every minute as he did in the old lightweight days. The answer was easy, he was getting old in the game and couldn't take them anymore. Now Johnny is an old man and a lid is taking his place in the hearts of the fans in San Berdoo and naturally Johnny doesn't like it so he started this fight by asking Baby Sal to inject him in the ring. And for a word about this kid that is stealing the old favorites thunder. Sal is a Mexican that is known all over the west and a good part of the cast for the hitting power in that right hand of his. When Sal hits them with that right they stay 'it and that goes for one and all. That why lots of the customers say the bout will not last the ten rounds. Sora has tasted some the glory of the big time himself. He has fought a champ and failed. He has fought men that many think are better than the champ in their divisions and won some and lost some. The Mexican is a comeback stage himself and is hopping to get on the big time circuit again, with a victory over the old veteran. Adams says, "Baby Sal can't fight and I have been waiting for some time to drag that kid into the ring an dshow hi mhow to use his hands. I am really going to train for this fight and will be in the pink of condition. I am still young and can go WHAT NEXT By DAN SHAW ZORRILA STYLE LOWER'S ODDS IN OLYMPIC GO An Indian will stalk an Israelite. Next Tuesday evening at the Olympic. When Santiago Zorrilla—Grand Socken of the Poken Branch of the San Blas Cooperskin from down yonder in Panama. Engages if you please for ten rounds with Joey Sangor of the secret order of Ish-ca-bibbl Knishers Knishers of Milwaukee and the winner should get a crack at Goldie Hess. A thorn in the path of all 130 pounders. And I don't mean maybe.' Sangor and the Ish-ca-bibbl Knishers Knishers a secret order devoted to the task of getting rid of Indians have been informed that there is plenty of Toma Hawks, in Zorrilla's two mits. The Knishers Knishers cannot play their favorite method of destroying Zorrilla. There is a deep back ground of Racial ennity due to the fact that they have fought before with a win a piece. Zorilla is not taking any chances of loosening this fight. He is training at Soper's Ranch in the Ventura mountains, and one shot Wirt Ross will have him in the best possible condition of his career. Zorilla is a natural featherweight, yet he contracts to give away poundage and permit Sangor to come in at 131 pounds, a junior lightweight. Sangor muts depend on hard punching power as the San Blas boy is a difficult catch as a Jersey mosquito when he desires to evade an opponent. ZORILLA HAS A CONFUSING STYLE Sangor is facing a smart fighter and he will have to be on his toes all the time. The San Blas boy can weave bob and dodge a glinty, and he will ahve to employ all of his ring tacfies to win. The Indian is a gamester and an excellent infighter and will take a few punches to come to grips where he whales away swiftly and savagely to the body. His sharp and rasping upper cuts will take a mean toll during a battle. A task is ahead of both boys. ON TO BOSTON Niel Clisby hopped on the Golden State Limited Saturday evening past, bound for the hub city where he engages in a ten round bout or less with Jimmy Maloney, Boston heavyweight. Clisby's last invasion in the east was quite successful, having won over the highly touted Young Bob Fitzsimmons, son of the ex-heavyweight champ Bob Fitzsimmons. TWO YEARS AGO LOUIS CARPENTERO LEFT here and went east rated as just a fair flyweight. Under the management of Ad Thatcher, Toledo, Ohio capitalist who assisted Tex Ricard to promote the Dempsey-Willard championship fight. Carpentero has climbed steadily until he is rated as one of the ten best flyweights in this whole "You Essay." His winning side of his record fairly sparkles with brilliance. Bobby Nelson, Vernon Center. Willie Henry, Oscar Gannage, Young Joe Jeanette, Norris Brewer, and Young Peter Jackson, are busy around the Main Street Gymnasium, keeping in trim for future fights. EL CENTRO BOX Homer Gaines El' Centro lightweight under the capable management of Morris worked with Goldie Hess ouring his training period for the Cecil Payne fight at the Olympic. Gaines kept Hess busy all the time making things quite miserable for the toe-headed kid. A whale of a fight they would make for the fans if some matchmaker wanted a natural. some yet, I'll show these know it all's. Sal says nothing but, "Watch me that night." Payne Takes Surprise Verdict Over Hess in Ten Rounds SOUTHERN BOY KNOCKS HESS AROUND SOME Chell Payne, a boy from the Bluegrass regions down in Kentucky, took a ten-round decision from Goldie Hess to upset the dope and steal some of Hess' stuff. The boy from the Sunny South fought very clever battle all the way through an alab a big margia in most of the rounds. Hess couldn't begin to solve the new kid's style. HANDS HANG AT SIDE Payne fights in a style that is nothing easy to get on to. The boy goes around the ring with both hands dancing at his side and then counters with a lightning left and right, when his opponent rushes in. Goldie did plenty of rushing Tuesday night; but to no evil. His rushing tactics were made to order for the Kentucky Wonder and he slashed the Ocean Park boy to death with that fast traveling left of his. TAKES FIRST Cecil started out right by taking the first heat, by a wide margin. He stepped out with his arms dangling down and Hess rushed into a gang of lefts and rights, before he knew what it was all about. Payne took every round except the fourth and the ninth. Goldie took the fourth and Payne held him even in the ninth. Incidentally that ninth round was a humdinger and no less. † The Southern boy was giving the scaside had plenty of trouble taking the first, second and third before Hess hit his stride. The fifth was the Kentucky boy's canto. In the sixth the faux got a real thrill, when Payne dropped Hess with a clean left to theug for a two count. The boys were at it hammer and tongs over by the ropes end were slugging for all they were worth, when Payne let a left go that started from the floor and Goldie was on the floor. STAYED WITH HESS Goldie started going at a fast clip every round. Lut the boy from below the Mason and Dixon was right with him in every move he made. Payne took lucky seven. In the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds the burs really saw some fighting that was fighting in every sense of the word. The new sensation took the eighth and was held even in the ninth and tenth. That ninth round was n tartar. All in all it was agreent fight and the dope bucket was kicked higher than a kite. The wise boys took a passing right along with Goldie Tuesday night. And folks it was a battle, fast and full of fighting from one gong to the other. FRASER BEATS THAYLER In the semi-wind up, Wally Fraser beat Bill Thayer from here to there and still had a little to spare. Bill was plenty game, but he just couldn't fight and should be some where driving a truck. Once or twice it looked as if Wally was going to put the hooks on him for keeps, but Bill was game and came back for more. The special event went to Leonard Rahming in six heats, over Lou Snyder. Some of the fans thought the third man made a mistake and should have called it a draw. SOCIETY RED GOES OVER Society Red the rage of Hollywood went over in an extra bout that he won over Marlon Back. Red is chuck full or comedy and the fans like it. Tommy McGoush put Jimmy Lucas --- Mosby's Music House "Pain in Full," the next play selected for the world famous Lafayette Player to present at the Lincoln Theater beginning Monday, December 16th, is a play that has contributed to the stardom of more than one stage favorite. And by a strange quirk of fate, six of the people whom it helped to make famous, and the author are all now living in Hollywood, working in the talkies or other theatrical ventures. Lillian Albertson created the role of Emma Brooks in the first New York production, and was made a star as result of her work. Miss Albertson with her husband, Louis MacLoon, arrived during the past week to produce a new show in Los Angeles. Helen Ware, one of the outstanding figures on the American stage and more recently a featured player in Paramount, Fox an another productions, played the role of Emma in Chicago and made a talked-about-for-months hit, Marjorie Rambean, no wstarring at the Vine Street Theater, is still another lovely lady who won wide recognition for her characterization of the winsome Emmy. And as for the men — Tully Marshall, for years a favorite on the screen, played the original Joe Brooks opposite Miss Albertson and was started on the road to fame, Guy Bates Post, now starring at a Hollywood house, played Joe opposite Miss Ware, while George Barnes, also well known in the film world, played opposite Miss Rambeau. And the author, Eugene Walter, is now an ace prater for the talkies. To celebrate these facts, a special party in honor o ifthee artists is being planned b ythe management, and invitations have been issued to them to atteno in a group. Cleo Desmond will play the role of out in a couple of heats and Jimmy C'Neil best Archer Donovan in the first hout. JOEY SANGOR THERE Joey Sangor the treckled face kid from the East was there and got a big hand when introduced. Joey goes to the post against Santiago orrilla next week. Izzy Grove another Eastern boxer was introduced. Emma in the Lincoln presentation while Lionel Monagas will play Joe, and Andrew Bishop will play the lovable Jimmy. Plans are also under way by the management for a mammoth midnite whoopee jamboree at the theatre on New Year's even when a musical comedy augmented by a number of specialties and a fast stepping chorus of brown beauties will be given. Everyone is urged to make early reservations for this performance. "The Eternal Falls" BY: CLIFFORD L. WILSON O'er rough stones and sharp rocks, we pour. Down deep gulches from forbidden heights we fall. We, in whom the ancestral blood of Ham doth flow; Ever making progress; Ever going forward; Never retracing a foot once gained, Always forward. When will we stop? God alone knows. Where are we going? Forward to progress. The decline is steep; The way is strewn with rocks and stones, And even sometimes upward we have to beat. But the momentum is great And we hardly slow up. Onward, onward we go Around this curve. Through this valley and that valley. Through fields sometimes green, sometimes sandy. Where are we going? Forward to progress. WHAT CAN I DO? What can I do to bring the sunlight Back into your eyes? What can I say to make you know The things you hear are lies? you smile; Forget those petty fears. Oh, loved one. I am yours; believe me. Do not let us part For to you, I gave body and soul, When you gave me your heart. —Iva O.

Mr. Woods was stricken down with a peculiar illness while on a trip in the northwest, and his condition became so critical that he was removed to a hospital in Seattle, where he underwent an operation in a last effort to prolong his life. For a while he showed a slight improvement and reports were circulated that he would soon be on the job. However, they were short lived for he soon settled in to a coline, and rapidly become worse. The sudden announcement of his death was ashock to the district, and some very radical changes in the higher officials are looked forward to in the near future. Mr. Woods was one official of the Pullman Company that was very highly thought of and respected by the Pullman Porters on the Pacific Coast. he believed in treating a man, as a man, and had none of the bulldog tactics in his make up. A porter was always sure of an impartial hearing, when before Mr. Woods. He seemed to have an understanding with the men, which other officials find it hard to obtain. In losing Mr. Wooos, the porters as well as the Pullman Company, have lost an invaluable friend. The Railroad Clatter wishes to go on record as being strongly remorseful over his death. J. Eldridge Appointed Pullman Porter Instructor. All guess work in regard to the next Pullman Porter Instructor for the Los Angeles District was put to a stop last week, when it was learned from those in proper authority that John Eldridge was appointed Pullman Porter's Instructor, to succeed former Instructor, Mr. L. A. Coffin, who retired on the age limit recently. Mr. Eldridge has been in the service for over twenty years, and is one of the old original crew of the Lark. Memories of years ago, will recall that shortly after Mr. Eldridge arrived on the Pacific Coast to take up his duties as a Pullman porter, he built at that time what was considered to be one of the finest homes in Los Angeles. The news of this wonderful home soon spread like wild fire among the Pullman porters from coast to coast and his home soon became the show place of the west side. It was a common remark for Pullman porters in Chicago to advise those about to make a trip to the Coast, to be sure and go out and see Mr. Eldridge's home before they returned. After many years of hard toil on the road, Mr. Eldridge decided to take up a different career, a put in for a furlow to follow the pursuit of the pulpit. He made several evangelical tours, and met with great success, gaining the name of the Black Billy Sunday in many parts of the United States. He was later assigned to a pulpit in the Trinity Baptist church on the west side, which position he held for several years. However, the call of the rails after spending the best part of his life on them, was too great, and he returned to the service under the handicap of the loss of many years seniority, bucking the extra board, and taking the bitter with the sweet as his lot, through an arrangement with Mr. C. Lincoln, superintendent at the time, he was granted the privilege of making two trips a week in order that he might be in town Wednesdays and Sundays, thereby being able to still follow the ministry. His appointment as Pullman Porter Instructor will not interfere with his work in the pulpit, as he is not required to work on Sundays or at night by the Pullman Company. Mr. Eldridge has every qualification to fill the job, and is considered by many as the most perfect berth maker in the District. He is intelligent, efficient, and reasonable and the porters of this District should consider themselves fortunate in having that kind of a man as their instructor. Should we have got Ben Robinson of Portland, the Clatter might have had a far different tale to tell its readers this week. As the mouthpiece of the men of this District, I say to Mr. Eldridge, "treat as MEN, and we will STAND solidly behind you." L. A. Coffin Returns From P. P. B. A. Convention. Mr. L. A. Coffin, former Pullman Porter Instructor for this District, returned to this city last week, and as he stepped off of the Limited with a truck load of baggage and a bad cold, he was rushed to his machine, and whisked speedily to his palatial home on the west side, where he professed a desire to be left alone until such time as he could thaw out from the frozen winds of Chicago, and go over his data thoroughly before making his report. However, the writer did manage to get him to drop a hint or two in regard to what took place; although he was reluctant to ivulge the full contents until he had checked over once more. The casual hint that was dropped, was to the effect that the general policy of the P. P. B. A., was at a standstill and that a hard battle was fought by two factions, one for continuing the organization and the other to let it grow extinct. A full report will be published as soon as it can be obtained. May Discontinue Excess Fare Trains May Discontinue Excess Fare Trains A point of law was being discussed by the Interstate Commerce Commission as to whether the different railroads had a right to charge an excess fare on their de luxe trains. Should it be found that the railroads are exceeding their authority in doing so, a drastic change in travel may be the out come. At the present time the Santa Fe is the only transcontinental road operating an excess fare train to the Coast, but there are several operating in the East, and to Florida. Whether this would effect the porters is purely a matter for open discussion. Porters operating on the Chief have never been in favor of the excess fare, claiming that since it has been put on, they find it is a hard struggle to make a living; seven and eight beds is considered a good load on an excess fare train, where formerly these trains run top and bottom. Porters in the East however have a far different opinion, as the majority of them claim that the excess fare keeps the cheaper class of people from taking all the space. Many say, that while they do not run as heavy, the few that they do get are realy people that can well afford to travel, and they make twice as much money off of them, because they are in a far better position to give them service. Next week the Railroad Clatter will make a survey, and obtain the opinions of porters operating on the Chief in regard as to whether they think the excess fares are beneficial or detrimental to their making a living. Dan Hood Still Confined to His Home Dan Hood, popular Pullman Porter of this District, who was stricken down several weeks ago with a complication of ailments, is still under the doctor's care, and a consultation was recently held to determine whether to perform a noperation for gall stones. All porters are requested to visit Dan when in that vicinity. J. L. Hill Undergoes Operation J. L. Hill Undergoes Operation Mr. J. L. Hill is confined to his home at this writing, having recently underwent an operation. Mr. Hill is fast on the way to recovery, and expected to soon be on the job looking after those who have been less successful. Through Dr. H. Claude Hudson, president of the N. A. A. C. P., of Los Angeles, all Pullman Porters and their families have been invited to attend the Negro Contemporary Art Exhibit, no wbeing held at the Southern California Art club, 1645 North Vermont street.

Pullman Porters Witness Man Blown From Man-Hole. Two illustrious Pullman Porters, R. Hicks, and J. A. Worthem were returning from breakfast last week in San Diego, when they were suddenly startled by a terrific explosion. Looking up in the air, they were horrified to see the limbs of a man descending in many directions. The accident occurred when gas caused an explosion in a man-hole where several men were at work. One man was killed, while the others were very badly injured. This is the second time in a week that J. A. Worthem has been an eye witness to a castrophie. Last week he was on the train that killed six people at Whittier, Calif. Henry Ford What suits one part of the world fails to please another. The plan of Henry Ford, the working man's guardian angel, to introduce high wages in Europe, is arousing a storm of protest on the continent. They claim that in countries with low living standards, high wages will-not help but hinder industry. But of course the loud yelps come from the capitalists, and not labor. Gus Moore, a former Pullman Porter, and now colored star of Pittsburgh University, won the National A. A. U., senior cross country championship over the Van Cortland Park course last week. It was his second successive victory. Moore covered the distance over the muddy six-mile course in 31 minutes and 10 seconds. 50 Why Speed Harris stopped his wife from coming down to the station to meet him and bring his dinner? Why E. G. Brooks is always looking for the gravey? Why Harry Livas is called the head can man? Please forward the answers to the above questions to the Railroad Clatter. C. Fletcher, Pullman Porter, bachelor days are about to be brought to an end as Mrs. Fletcher is speeding fast toward the shores of Los Angeles. Jones seems to be left standing by the wayside as a Pullman Porter Instructor. T. Taft attended the Chicago Union Charity club banquet at the Dunbar Hotel, and was one of the centers of attraction. MEGRO JAZZ BANDS IN PARIS EN 1703 New York City, Dec., 11 By A.N. P—News dispatches received here from Paris declare that an English Writer, D. B.
