VOLUME 42 GREETINGS FROM We number among the members the strong forces for good citizens Jennings, who by his square, honestly gained the high regard and appreciation. He has been a success at the best worth and high character. There are fulness for the service which he homes or restored their property, and his practice. Attorney Jennings is wide awa movements for advancement of the support. He is also active in church members of the People's Independence. His counsel in political movement well known that he does not repress Responsibility of Juvenile Delinquency As Respects The Aged We are again in the midst of a holiday season which is in most instances a happy occasion for children, when we speak of Xmas and children we think in terms of a home. It is estimated that one third to two-fifths of delinquent children coming to the attention of Juvenile courts are from homes broken by death, desertion, divorce or seperation of Parents, many came from homes in which income is barely sufficient to provide the common necessities of life. This fact has been adduced after a careful study on a Scientific basis by the courts and Clinic's as another contributing factor we will mention that in a large part Juvenile delinquency is the result of adult ignorance, unhappiness, neglect and vice. Investigation and study reveals the fact that lack of sympathy and understanding on the part of parents, bad companionship poor recreation and school diffict ies lead into many problem cases. Lack of sympathy is demonstrated in many instances in the home where parents are desirous of rearing their children reared in much the same fashion as they were reared themselves. They crush any semblance of a higher ideal. How often the child laments the fact that mother or dad don't under stand me. The writer is of the opinion that many of the so-called ills of Juveniles emulate from the home directly. The home is America's greatest institution but like unto all other it can not stand when divided against itself. Adult ignorance allows the family quarrel in the presence of children and it goes farther by creating a dual personality, in that parents never agree on the same line of supervision Bobbie, on one occasion re- PETER B. quested the price of a movie from mother to which she replied you have seen two movies this week and you can not go to night. Just one sour look and the price of the movie was given by father. The time will be short and both parents will lose influence. They are unable to keep Bobbie from the movie even by later refusing the price for as you know Bobie is an industrious boy and because he threw those hand bills he has earned a free pass. Bad companionship enters and Bobbie finds himself at Juvenile Hall and later befor the court. Previous to the appearance of the child in court an investigation is made by the social worker at which time facts are gathered and later a social diagnosis made. To say the least this is a delicate task and in many instances made even more so due to the attitude of the adult. There is prevalent a misconception as to the purpose of the social worker and the court so in many cases the effort to reform is met with rebuff. There are adults who advocate the punishment of Juveniles for the least provocation when a misdeamar is committed, while there are others that advocate the giving of many chances trusting that same event will remedy it all. There are those who think Juvenile definency alarming at the present stage, but with reference to the coloured boys and girls in comparison to population the definquent cases coming before the court are in minority. In most instances the boy released on probation responds favorably to probationary treatment where the attitude of the adult is proper. It is not fair to all ways remind Bobbie that he is a bad boy and that some day he will visit the State Prison. In dealing with the problem boy and girl the service clubs, fraternal societies, churches and other social organization can assist materially in providing healthful recreation on the East Side for its future citizens for these unfortunates and their families must be aided work must be found, food procured and finally they must be given the opportunity to reclaim themselves. We must make an actual study of the individual in an effort to ascertain the cause of his delinquency and then assist in adjusting him in the community.

RECENT REVIEW OF SIXTH TOUR Audiences far greater than those of any other singer of the day are crowding to Roland Hayes' recitals in this, his sixth tour of America. The highest critical praise likewise comes from each city he visits. The following quotations are representative: CHICAGO "Roland Hayes is singing better this season than ever before.

Edward Moore, Chicago Daily Tribune, December 7, 1929 "In the evening Roland Hayes offered a program of songs at Orchestra Hall, thus affording a houseful of admirers one of the most delightful evenings he has ever contributed to the cause of the public edification. Even I long a drum-and-crymbal-beater for the finest phases of his art, was scarcely prepared for this unusual exhibition of vocal and musical finesse. His first group alone might have sufficed to establish his reputation asone of the finest lyric tenors on the concert stage, regardless of race or nationality, age or estate." Hermann Devries, Chicago Even American, Dec. 7, 1929. CINCINNATI "When Roland Hayes sings it is an event in the musical world. The famous Negro tenor, although he is making his sixth tour of the United States, is repeating everywhere his original triumphs, and Cincinnati is ANCIENT MODERN FUTURE [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie]. Strong force in the administration of justice and its application to all citizens alike. Noted for his successful efforts in defense of clients who have been subject to the iron heel of oppression. Notable among such cases was the famous Ku Klux Klan prosecution against the editors of this paper where he as leading counsel associated with L. K. Beeks gained a notable victory. Only within the past few weeks in the instance where invisible forces sought to destroy the Apex Nite club for no seeming reason whatever, except its owner was a colored man. Lawyer Macbeth put up a valiant and winning fight for justice both before the Police Commission and in the courts. He is a strong supporter of the present city administration, a member of the Executive Board of the N. A. A. A. C. P., and withal a man who has ever stood for the square deal, law and order. "It was, like all Roland Hayes recitals, a notable occasion. To add further comment of a critical nature to the tomes of encomiums that have been written about the vocal artistry of Roland Hayes would be but to repeat what has gone before. Critics long since have exhausted the vocabulary of superlatives associated with terms of praise, and in the light of his achievement of yesterday afternoon there is no reason to alter the popular verdict." William Smith Goldenburg, Cincinnati Enquirer, Dec. 2, 1929. PHILADELPHIA "Roland Hayes once more charmed the large audience that gathered in the Academy of Music last night to welcome his return to the Philadelphia concert stage. "This young colored tenor has a remarkable voice, delicate, floating and withal intense. The diversified program arranged for last night's concert, gave opportunity for the portrayal of all of these emotions." Philadelphia Record, Nov. 16, 1929 NEW HAVEN NEW HAVEN "Roland Hayes, negro tenor, for the fifth season, gave a recital of songs and spirituals at Woolsey Hall last evening. It was an inspiring sight, for the vast auditorium was completely filled, the audience overflowing on to the stage, where scores were seated. ed."

TO LILLIAN One year ago today, Our Mother sang a song; And quietly stole away, To join the Heavenly throng.

We love her memory so dear, And at this season of the year; Feel her presence ever near, Angel Mother, fairest of the fair. Thursday, December 19, the Los Angeles Examiner gave interesting results from its investigating committee on the subject of "Marriage and Intermarriage." On the front page of this particular issue appeared an article headed, "Beauty Loves, Weds, Leaves Colored Man." The only scandal that the Hearst sheet was able to connect with this story was that the popular, well educated colored husband of the past perfect stage beauty was colored according to his own definition. If the facts in this case had been reversed this same paper would have come forth an entirely different story. It would have told how this designing woman of many loves, suffering from wounds and bruises inflicted by a mysterious intruder in her home, then on Whitney Heights, had in the guise of seeking professional service, met, wooed and hood-winked said physician into marriage believing him wealthy. Just what ill wind has blown this marital ship on the rocks, we are unable to decide unless it is that said doctor on account of the financial slump in business, is not able to buy fine wigs and high priced cosmetics, the essential elements that go to make up stage beauties. Another case of marital clash caused according to the Examiner by Race difference is that of Jack Randolph, husbane of Mrs. May Wheeler Randolph, wealthy Pasadena divorcee, Randolph, who is serving a two year sentence on McNeal Island for using the mails to defraud, was accused of the murder of his wealthy wife some months ago when she was found slain in her palatial Pasadena home. It is said that Negroes who knew Randolph in his childhood where he lived on a Virginia Plantation, were brought to California to testify to the fact that the ex-broker's faher was a Negro Slave, well known to them. The musty section of the civil code unused for scores of years was revived to meet the exegesis in the case of Randolph. The law referred to is Section 60 of the Civil Code which makes it illegal for a Negro, a mulatto or an Indian to marry a white woman. Superior Judge Harry Archibald, the Judge in the case, to our way of thinking, decided in favor of prejudice rather than justice. Mr. and Mrs. Randolph were married at Tia Juana and apparently lived together happily as man and wife until some mysterious motive crept into the family circle which seemingly was the cause of the murder of Mrs. Randolph. Perhaps it as much time and energy had been used in unravelling the reason for Mrs. Rnadolph's brutal assassination as was exerted in trying to discover Randolph's true racial identity, the real motive for the crime would have been discovered and justice meted out to the assassin. Anyhow it looks like those concernes were not so much interested in the amount of Negro blood in Randolph's veins, as they were in the fortune left by Mrs. Randolph. Judge Archibald's decision deprives Mr. Randolph of his $100,000.00 share in the dead woman's estate. And so it is more often the nickel under the foot than the color of a man's skin hat brings about the halaboo. PHYLLIS FOREMAN 11 YEAR OLD COLORED GIRL, HAPPY BECAUSE SCHOOL WILL GET SET AND SHE'LL GET 'BOB' Phyllis Foreman, 11, student of the Frank McCoppin School, yesterday gained the title of champion in the final spelling bee conducted by The Chronicle and broadcast during children's hour over KPO. The match opened with eleven pupils representing seven schools Dr. E. R. Driver Returns —Answers Charges M. Roy, E. R. Drury well known and popular divine who has been on a tour of the country in the interest of the church work, returned to the city on last Monday. Upon arriving here the first mission which engaged his attention was to respond to the complaint charging him with a misdemeanor and which had been issued in his absence. He reported to the Municipal Court to the department presided over by Judge May D. Lahoe, was arraigned, and plead not guilty, and his trial was set for January 24th. He gave bond and was on his way. The Doctor is represented by Attorney H. E. Macarthy and who says watch for fly at this trial. In the meanwhile the people who have withheld judgment in the promise, are beginning to doubt very much the foundation for the sensational charges made at the time of the issuing of this complaint by the city prosecutor. The point of the prosecutor's action in the case of the Apex, where he had not a leg to stand on, after one jury had stood 11 to one for acquittal and was found not guilty by the other and the third charge had to be dropped, because two of his star witnesses were not available. The fact of the matter was, one of them, had run amuck and committed suicide while the other is a fugitive from justice. In face of this situation the prosecutor forced Mosby to go on trial on the charge again where the jury stood 11 for acquittal. No sir, the city prosecutor fails to impress even his own in his last named instance and now they doubt him in the Driver case. IN APPRECIATION To the subscribers and advertisers for their consideration and fairness with the collector for the California Eagle. The majority have responded when approached and to you. I am sincerely grateful. Your cooperation means much, and is also appreciated very highly by the management as well as myself. Here's wishing each and all of you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. FDNA GREENE SMUTH. Last Monday evening the Editor and Managing Editor were the guests of the Men's Brotherhood, who entertained at dinner at the Y. M. C. A. This was a special occasion and they condescended to invite the ladies. A very splendid repast was served and at its close a special program was rendered, consisting of musical numbers and short addresses. Brother Blumfield was introduced as Master of Ceremonies by the President, J. H. Shackleford, and filled that position with neatness and despatch. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 20, 1929 White Woman's Assailant Killed (By: A N P.) Morrilton, Ark., Dec. 18.—Officers who were ordered to bring in Birdie Kindall, accused of assaulting a white woman, dead or alive, brought their man in dead, here Tuesday morning. According to the officers they went to the home of Kindall to arrest him. After a hard time forcing him to admit them, he was placed under arrest. Kindall rushed at them with a knife and after gaining entrance to the door sought to escape. It was then that he was shot and killed by the officers. Kindall in the meantime had informed the officers that he was not guilty of any crime but he had been recognized by the white woman, who claimed that he had threatened her prior to the time of the alleged assault. Known by Her Deeds Prominent among the busy women of Los Angeles who accomplish things, especially along civic lines is Mrs Clara C. Hulbert. Besides being president of the Eastside Co-Operative and Improvement Association, she finds time to assist in every movement of uplift that is called to her attention. Mrs. Hulbert is also active in religious circles and is a member of historic Second Baptist church. Curtis Mosby Of Apex Nite Club Fame Found Not Guilty By A Jury Of His Peers After a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers before Judge Caryl M. Sheldon, Curtis Mosby, who was charged with conducting a nuisance in his conduct of the Apex Nite Club was found not guilty on last Tuesday. On the previous day he was tried by a jury in the same court on a charge of possession. The jury could not agree on this case and was discharged. It stood 11 to 1 for acquittal. On the third charge of interfering with an officer the case was dismissed, for the very good reason that the witnesses who were police officers, were not available on account of the fact that one of them named Rodgers had killed himself and the other was a fugitive from justice having been recently indicted by the grand jury. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth put up a masterly defense for Mosby at all stages of the game. Judge Carryl Sheldon informed this writer that his plea to the jury was the very best he had ever heard in his court. In direct contrast to the influences and invisible cause of picking out Mosby to crucify as a Nite Club operator, the court was eminently fair and impartial in the conduct of the trial and instructions to the jury. Even the deputy prosecutor was fair and did not for a moment exhibit any desire to persecute Mr. Mosby. We give due credit to this deputy, Mr. Logan Lindsay for his fairness. The jurors after their decision, assured Mr. Mosby of their faith in him and his effort to conduct a clean place of business. All in all it was a great victory not only personally for Mr. Mosby, but for real justice and a square deal. The case in which the jury disagreed has been reset for January 3rd. Just why it is advisable to tritter away the taxpayers money on such a filimay pretex as this is an enigma to those who are watching the trend of these cases. Fate Of Officers McClannahan, Wiley And Bradford In The Hands Of The Jury Fate Of Officers McClannahan, Wiley And Bradford In The Hands Of The Jury As we go to press the fate of Officers Arthur McChannshan, Shannon Wiley and Neol Bradford is in the hands of the jury of Judge Carlos S. Hardy's Court. The case was given to the jury at 10 o'clock a.m., Friday morning and the jury has been out practically eight hours as we go to press. There is of course no way of telling how the jury stands at this stage of its deliberations. It has been a hard fought case in which both the prosecution and defense contested every inch of the ground. The charges against the officers is the claim of the state that they accepted bribes, the counts run some thing like twelve in number The defense is that the witnesses against them are outlaws, they have arrested time without number by these same officers who they are testifying against and their testimony is not worthy of consideration and only given as a pact of revenge against these officers. All colored Los Angeles it seemed were called as character witnesses for and on behalf of the officers and each witness testified to their good character. The three defendants went on the stand and categorically denied each and every charge. E. J. Dennison was the leading attorney for the People and Judge Thos. White appeared in a like capacity for the accused officers. In their closing arguments to the jury each one of the three distinguished disciples of Blackstone, rose to the highest pinnacles of rhetoric and eloquence. MID - WESTERN PRESS BUREAU MID - WESTERN PRESS BUREAU LUCY MAE STAMPS, MANAGER 2515 Caldwell Street Omaha, Nebr. Miss Leota Bryce, who has been employed at the Cultural Center on the South side, left for the South last Saturday for an indefinite stay. x x x x The economic conditions among the colored people in the Middle West, at this time are very unfavorable. There is widespread unemployment in Denver, Kansas City, Omaha and Des Moines. The Omaha situation is especially critical, and the Omaha Urban League, in the face of this problem, is struggling ineffectively. It may be that it is faced with insuperable obstacles, but to the onlooker, it seems that it should know more about the unemployment problem, and should do more than it is doing to relieve present conditions. The murder trial of Leroy Chiles was concluded Friday. He was charged with murder in the second degree. He was represented by two white attorneys, and Mr. Kary L. Williams, a colored attorney. The jury found Mr. Chiles guilty as charged. The penalty is ten years to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary. This was Mr. Williams' first appearance in a murder case. He assures us he will appeal the case. x x x x The Conroe College Quartett stopped over here Sunday en route to their home in Conroe, Texas.

Head National Baptist Convention Unincorporated Passes (Special to the California Eagle) Danville, Ky., December 15th—John Edmond Wood, President of the N ational Baptist Association, unincor- cercated, passed away here at his home today. Dr. Wood was a veteran in religious effort, and an outstanding Christian character. He served eleven years as Moderator of the Kentucky Baptist Association. In the year of 1925 he was elected to succeed the late Dr. E. P. Jones to head the National Baptist Association He served as the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Danville up until his passing. He was also a member of the City Council of this city. His service as the head of this great body was outstanding and great pro- gros was being made under his lead- ship to bring all factions together in one mighty union. The National Secretary, Henry Allen Boyd is in active charge of the tenure arrangements which will go forth under his direction. MRS. GORDON A TIRELESS WORKER Among those who are ardently striving to make the Dunbar Hospital fit the needs of our group in this vicinity is Mrs. Walter L. Gordon. For 18 years Mrs. Gordon, who is the wife of Walter L. Gordon, Sr., one of Los Angeles' most outstanding real estate agents, has been identified with the civic and women's club activities of this city. For four terms she has been president of the Alumni Association and under her administration has caused the organization to become one of the active agencies for educational stimulation among the young people of our group and community. Mrs. Gordon is one of a committee of several Los Angeles women who are now perfecting a plan to make the Dunbar Hospital a clinic that it may render still greater service Slashes Wife's Lover Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 18—By A. N.P.—The "eternal triangle" cropped up here Tuesday afternoon and Homer Webster, who represented one of the sides, attempted to solve the problem by eliminating the other two sides and angles. The solution was attempted with a razor when he found his wife Fannie in a room at the home of Myrtle Singley, with Warnell Meeks. His failure to eliminate the other two sides and angles, was not due to any lack of effort on his part and as it is Meeks may succumb to the wounds inflicted on him. For sometime, Webster told the police, he has suspected his wife of holding clandestine meetings with Meeks, but he was not able to discover their trysting place. Tuesday he followed his wife to the Singley woman's home and later saw Meeks enter. After giving them sufficient time to greet the landlady, he rushed into the house, forced his way into the room which his wife and Meeks were occupying and immediately started cutting. Meeks was severely cut about the head and body and Mrs. Webster received a few slashes on the face and arms. Webster was arrested on charges of assault and battery and his wife on charges of disorderly conduct and drunkenness. Hear Dr. Humphreys Sunday A. Dr. N. H.

The Grand Exalted Ruler wires that he will reach here on time and as Los Angeles is known far and near for its genuine hospitality and know just what to do in receiving its leaders, it goes without saying that his reception will eclipse any which he has received at any place or time. Everything is set for his arrival, also for the huge Memorial Day Parade and the events which will follow. Of principal interest to the public will be the Monster Ball at the Shrine Andorium, New Year's eve. This will be one notable event, gorgeous and gay.

No.28 Arthur Record, who was employed at the Oil Mills, near Vernon and Santa Fe avenues, met with a fatal accident on Thursday night, when he attempted to cross the Long Beach avenue railroad tracks at 62nd street. Mr. Record, was attempting to board a Watts local car and was struck by one of the Pacific Electric fast trains, and killed instantly; his body being cut into pieces. The body was taken to the County Morgue to await the Coroner's inquest. $^6$ The accident happened about 6:30 p.m. The deceased lived in Watts, where he had a home and devoted family. Mr. Record was an uncle of Mrs. Katie Graham, wife of Mr. B. H. Graham, the popular organizer of the Los Angeles branch of the American Woodmen. We all join in expressing our sympathy to the family during their bereavement. $^7$ --- (By: A. N. P.) Por au Prince, Haiti, Dec. 18.—If conditions in Haiti are to be improved President Borno and his group must be ousted, according to the opinion expressed by leading Haitians in discussing the present cahos in which the republic finds itself. To bring about this change in the administration, Andre Cheveller, former postmaster general, has announced his candidacy to succeed Borno as president and in announcing his candidacy stated that present conditions and unrest of the people could be traced directly to the oppression of the Borno administration. Among those sharing the aforementioned opinion is Ernest Chanvet, publisher and editor of the Le Nouveau, which suspended publication when martial law was declared. The editor and publisher who is known as a fearless fighter and patriotic citizen declared: "The present system of treating the people like slaves cannot continue without trouble. Haiti will never believe any presidential election is fair until there is one not under the supervision of the United States." Takes Own Mittimus to Jail (By: A. N. P.) Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 18—George Grames, convicted here Tuesday of transporting and possessing whiskey, bears the distinction of being one of the few individuals entrusted with his ownmittins to the county jail. Following his conviction Grimes was handed a note and told to carry it to the county jailer and when he arrived the receiver of the note complied with the request made therein which was to furnish free board and lodging to George for the period for the next thirty days.

E. church in St. James, A. M. E. church here, stated to his men. "I am going to make Methodist preachers out of all of you. I shall see that you all bear the burden of the church. Some of you have had fat positions all of your ministerial lives, but now I am going to send you from East, West, and from West, East." The Bishop proceeded to carry out his assertion by making a general clean up of most of his important charges. Every church in Tampa experienced a change in pastors last week. Most of the Jacksonville pastors were moved and the Bishop says that he will follow the same procedure in the South Florida Conference which includes Miami and West Palm Beach Page-Ten The Calif. Eagle Published Every Friday 847 Central Ave. VA. 9244 Los Angeles, Calif. Fri., Dec. 2 EXHAIR We headed our radiator toward the progressive city of Watts last Friday, and gave it the once over as is our custom once or twice a year. There was a time a few years ago when the name itself sent to the showers. But times have brought about improvements and we find what was once a future has come into its own and today Watts is one of the most progressive centers for business that California enjoys. By way of encouragement might I say keep going. Don't stop until you have established the fact that Watts is the best and most progressive city in the west for folks willing to take hold and try. By the way don't forget your 1930 Auto License. --- While we were buisly engaged minding our business the other day a friend of ours heaved a couple of wild ducks at us in a friendly way and say melby you think we didn't appreciate it. Harry Beal asked us if we ate them. No Harry we gave them to the Southwest Museum. Ha! Ha! Frank White Exaulted Ruler Eur- meritus of Golden West Lodge B. P. O. E. is the proud father of a pair of spats. Fresno which has the honor of entertaining the Masonic Grand Lodge next summer has begun already to lay plans and specifications for entertaining that august body, and what we hear Los Angeles will be one lon-some spot during that period. We noticed that E. W. Fisher is again in the grocery business. This time he's with the Pyramid Co. James Roseborough has a job. In addition to being an officer of the law he is a macanic officer so you Masons watch out. Claudie McKinney who is popular in religious, and fraternal circles is galavanting around in an Essex these days. We have a sneaking idea that it's this. Congratulations young man --- John Hopgood is the proud owner of a brand new Hudson in his miniear. Guess it won't be long before he possess one in reality from what he hears. ```markdown ``` Traffic officer Coleman had the painful duty of giving a personal friend of his a tag the other day, for parking in the red zone. Mr. Williams looked at it broadly and accepted same with a smile. When we violate the law we shouldn't expect an officer to jeopardize his job because he's a friend. Favors are alright in their place but don't deliberately violate a law on the strength of having an officer friend, and don't get mad or sore when he performs his duty. He's paid for that. I thank you. We note that the Editor of C, A. B. column has joined the ranks of those who boast of being able to drive an auto. How ever there are two things we haven't been able to make up our mind to do yet. One is to ride in an air plane, the other to ride behind C. A. B. DO YOU KNOW?

And Tia Juana was alive. Alive with race fans, horse owners who had brought thoroughbreds from all over the country to run at the big winter meet; slim little jockeys; tots; loafers heavily painted women and tourists who had come across the border lurked by the great gods—pleasure and excitement. The races which probably attracted the largest crowd were by no means the only diversion offered there. One could be fairly sure that the liquor purchased there was not full of wood alcohol. Nearly every public place was connected with a bar where pretty percentage girls smiled enticingly and asked men to buy drinks. The lure of the big Casino too, kept many away from the races. Within its walls the roulette wheel turned endlessly. Black jack, dice, slot machines and almost every known form of gambling was played here. It was racing season at Tia Juana And Tia Juana was alive. "Aren't you drinking anything today?" A percentage girl looked down at Jerry McMullen with a smile that showed two rows of dizzling pearly teeth. Jerry shook his head. "Then how are we poor girls to make a living?" she said with a touch of humor as she seated herself across the table from him. Jerry's look of bored indifference gave way to one of interest as he studied the girl. She wasn't pretty—but my—what personality. Her features were regular, mouth just a trifle-large but not disfiguring. Dark brown eyes looked out from under deep fringed lashes. Her hair was cut in a very becoming Gloria boba. Ano she was a percentage girl. "You haven't any business here," Jerry said abruptly. "Oh my, I ask the man to buy a drink and he insults me," she laughed. "Maybe the 'Town Pump' is too high class a place for me ch? Do I belong down at the Bucket o' blood?" "No you don't. You don't belong anywhere in Tia Juana. You belong $t home." "Oh don't start preaching. Anything but that. George." "Its Jerry. Jerry McMullen," he told ttery to medical men. That Monte Arbino, a mountain in Switzerland is constantly moving in one direction.

That the largest single generator in the world—large enough to supply ample power for a city of a half a million—is being made by the Ford company. The power it generates will be used in the manufacture of automobiles. The great turbine requires 600,000,000 gallons of water every 24 hours to cool it.

"What's you rname?" "Sally Lunn." "No kidding now. What is it?" Jerry persisted. Jerry is yours. But you haven't bought a drink yet, Jerry." "Well, order something—anything." "That's a sport," she said gaily as she started off to the counter. She was sown book twofold, by a waistier to put two tiny glasses upon the table. "Straight?" Jerry queried. "Yes. I like my whisky straight and strong," she informed him in a matter-of-fact tone. But Jerry only smiled as he tasted drink much. He reached over and took her glass. "But that didn't" she commanded. But Jerry only smiled as he atasted it's contents. "Just as I imagined. Tea." "You won't give the play away jerry?" "Not if you tell me your name." "It Its Esther. Now don't ask more. But your's isn't tea. Why don't you drink?" "Cant afford to. You see I'm an aviator and it takes steady nerves." "Gee. How grand!" Just then she caught a signal from the manager. She arose. "Excuse me. Be back in a minute." Jerry watched her go. What was she doing in Tia Juana? She was certainly out of place here. Or was she? That was one thing, about women. They were so tricky. Some of them were as beautiful and as innocent looking as cherubs with souls as black as the hinges of predition. But somehow he could not think Esther as belonging there. She just didn't fit, he reasoned why should he be so concerned over her. He would probably never see her again after toay. He was not in the habit of coming over to Tia Juana. Where the heck wag Higgins anyway. He had been solidly responsible for Jerry coming to Tia Juana. "That guy," the manager nodded his head in Jerry's direction, is a dead one. Don't waste your time on him. Only bought one drink. Doesn't care for the stuff. Now there's a guy. Two men were entering the door. They looked around and started over to Jerry's table. The one who led the way was a short stocky squint eyed fellow. The other was a tall broad shouldered rendish-brown giant. He looked like he should have been a general. He was a born leader. "The tall fellow—he's a regular guy. Play up to him. Looks don't count in this game. It's money you're after," the manager finished. The manager liked Ether. He knew from his dealings with hundreds of percentage girls that she was pure gold. He didn't know what her gums was but he suspicioned that she had something more in view than selling drinks to uncutth men. Believing in her guarded her zealous and was hoping that her moral courage would keep her from being submerged in the sea of debauchery that surrounded her. "Thanks for the tip," Esther said as she started off. "And say, kid," the manager called her back. "Fight shy of dates," he added in an undertone. She smiled, nodded and was off. Her short little skirt swaying in rythmic time as she glided among the tables. "Jerry, this is Mr. Eaglerock." Higgins announced with a flourish of his hands. "He wants to talk business with you." The two men shook hands. Higgins and Eaglerock seated themselves with much scraping of chairs and feet. "I was just wondering about you," Jerry said to Higgins, but it seems that you were out scouting for me." Higgins seemed a bit nervous but Eaglerock was perfectly at case. "Maybe I'd better explain," Eaglerock began. "After the races today I came over to Dan's Place. I had agreed to meet my pilot there. Well, he was there alright, is now for that matter, but he's stewed to the gills. No need to say I was angry. I was mad clear through and I guess everybody around there knew it. I told him a few things but who can get any kick out of arguing with a drunk man. Well, the up-shot of it was your friend heard the racket and came forward with the information that you were a pilot and perhaps I could hire you to pilot me back home. I don't drive you see. I am due home tonight at eight o'clock for directors meeting. I am used to naming figures. If they don't suit you we'll see if we can't come to terms. Would you pilot me back for two hundred cash and train fare back?" "Two hundred?" Jerry asked incredibly. "Or double it." Eaglerock had took Jerry's reply in the opposite way. Jerry would have jumped at half the first sum named but seeing that the man was free with his money he hesitated. "It's nearly dark now and although I am a pilot I'm not particularly wild to fly to Los Angeles tonight. Well I might for five hundred." "Alright, young fellow a round of drinks. Esther glided, over to the table. "One for me too?" Eaglerock looked at her. A broad grin came over his face. "To be sure," he nodded to the waiter. "Well its settled?" he asked Jerry. "I have to report for work to morrow at eight o'clock." "Why man, you can get the nine o'clock train back tonight and be home at midnight." Eaglerock disregarded Esther while talking business for she was only a percentage girl and after all she didn't matter. "You'd have to work two months for what I'm willing to give you for an hour's ride. That would be the big tip, that wouldn't be the big tip, to pass up an offer like that." Higgins spoke up." If I could fly I'd jump at it and be darn glad of the chance. "Yes," Jerry consented. "I'll go. The drinks came. Eaglerock and Higgins gulped theirs down and arose to go. "The plane is out at the Bonita Vista ranch. We'll bring the car around and drive you out. We'll be here in about ten minutes." Eaglecrock tossed a five dollar bill to Esther. "I'll be back when I have longer to stay, cutie." The look that he gave her and the tone in which he addressed her made Jerry want to snatch the bill an tear it into a thousand shreds and throw it in Eaglecrock's face. But he could not do that. Esther made her living that way. "So you've got a passenger?" Esther asked. "Yes. Five hundred dollars for an hours flying isn't bad, is it?" "Should say not. But why is he so liberal?" "Directors meeting he has to attend tonight. Money doesn't count." "Don't fool yourself," she advised. These rich guys are usually tight-fisted. There's probably a big wallop in it somewhere." "There is," Jerry told her confid- IMPORTANT TO PROPER If you anticipate building o time and money i 3400 CENTR and get our price on all We will finance and bu Yours F PORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER anticipate building or remodeling you time and money if you will come to 3400 CENTRAL AVENUE set our price on all kinds of building mat finance and build on reasonable Yours For Service ```markdown ``` IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS If you anticipate building or remodeling you will save time and money if you will come to and get our price on all kinds of building material.

"Just the same, I've usually found that the fellow who is so liberal usually get two or three times what he pay for." The insistent call of an automobile horn broke in upon their conversation. "That must be for me," Jerry told her. "I must be going. Glad I met you Esther. I wish—" she knew what he would have said without him finishing. He wanted to ask her to leave Tia Juana but he didn't finish that way. "Maybe I'll see you when I come down again." "Alright Jerry, but don't take any wooden nickels. They might burn." The Bonin Ranch was just a few miles from Tia Juana and it was distinctly Mexican from the large rauch house to the small abode huts occupied by the field workers and their families. The plane was surrounded by Mexicans of all sizes, from tiny barefooted cousins to stooped grey haired padres. They stood viewing the plane and gesticulating in true latin fashion.

M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. The program consisted of speaking and musical numbers. Retreatments were served in the banquet hall after the program. CONVINGTON SPEAKER OF DAY Mr. Floyo C. Covington industrial director of the Los Angeles Urban League was the Speaker of the Day and the well known young man had a message for every one present and incendiably for a whole lot of those that weren't present. PROSPECTING FOR LIFE The Urban Leagues head spoke on that most vital question of life and your life work. He likened life to minning for gold with the individual doing the panning for the elusive yellow metal that is valued so highly. Your life work was cast at the precious mineral. In his short, but direct address, Mr. Convington touched every phase of human life, the many pitfalls that stand in the way of success. Mr. Convington is a very able young speaker and has made and is making a mark in Los Angeles that will not be surpassed soon. PHYSICAL NOTES The physical department is going full blast now and all nights for the use of the gym are full. On Monday and Thursday nights men's classes are held under the direction of Mr. Mc Millian, and Art Hamilton. All men are welcome to these classes. The college men are rallying to the cause and their nights are Thursday and Saturday. Mr. Harold Wilson of the boys department, fresh from the older boy's conference in the Movie City, Hollywood is black and running over with ideas for the boys and older boys. Come on boys co-operate with "Sheik" he has gangs of ideas that will mean much to you. Jeff Hi Y has broken out in brand new sweaters of Green and Gold and the boys are hot stuff and no less.

A gift booth with beautiful hand made embroidery, and charming gifts was an interesting feature, and also the fish pond where several amateur fishermen tried their luck at fishing for porrume, powder puffs, earrings, and various other objects.

"God is a Spirit." the Christmas season conjures the intercourse becomes gracious; the working year melts into considera petty and unworthy misunderstands conscious of the greatness of the imi sion and reconciliation.

For the end of the road is on ever on every hearthstone, the spirit is who welcomes it. The world lives again those tremulous hours of Christmas when the past seems very vivid and memory is glamorous and wistful. The story of life is the story of the Star, its potent, dreamful signal punctuating the noisy years and serving as a remembrancer of those dear items of existence which, in the end, means the most to human consolation. The clock stands still for a little space; men and women recapture some measure of the early rapture which rests on a childlike faith that godness is everywhere and that wickedness is non-existent. The faint sweet murmur of an old carol, "While Sheperds Watched their Flocks by-Nnght," muffled chime sifting its way across the housetops, the crackle of the log, any of these is sufficient to translate us into one of those long, long recollections peopled by vanished figures, vanished delights, vanished simplicity. To the wise it is the opportunity, eagerly seized, once more to hold fast those fine primitive values which, as life wears on its perflexing course, seems to magnify themselves into sublime and only truths. "God is a Spirit." The warming atmosphere of the Christmas season conjures the Spirit into reality; human intercourse becomes gracious; the iron countenance of the working year melts into considerateness, wrongs diminish into petty and unworthy misunderstandings; the heart, scarcely conscious of the greatness of the impulse, cries for comprehension and reconciliation. What is this Spirit, so rich and enduring, that grips mankind and restores to it the quicbening flow of charity and tolerance? "But there is a spirit in man; and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding." This, then, is the wreath in the window; the song heard at even; the mystic packages, white and red, of goodwill, the garlanded tree; the radiant laughter and triumphant chorus of humanity as a dawn breaks eloriously and illumines a happy world, forgiving and forgiven Thought traverses the hills and valleys in the pale light of the December stars; gazes anew on the eternal miracle of divine love, the absorbing, complete and satisfying lesson given to humanity. It is an old, old story, and a very beautiful one. For the end of the road is on every doorstep, the miracle rests on every hearthstone, the spirit is the benediction of every soul who welcomes it.

We have been reading proofs of the Christmas shopping "ads" of The Fifth Street Store, Overells' and others that will appear in our Fiftieth Annual Issue. They are as interesting as anything that one may peruse these days, for they speak not only of the approaching yuletide, with all that means, but they illustrate as well the rapid growth of the city and its development. Sometimes we are apt to think of the modern community in terms only of population and of public improvements—street paving, parks, public playgrounds and a dozen other items of the kind. But the real earmark of the progressive city is its stores. The real badge of prosperity is the type of retail stores a city boasts. The advertising columns of the newspaper of today demonstrate the fact that Los Angeles has stores of which any city may be proud and as metropolitan as those of many boasting larger population. And the stores themselves are as interesting as the "ads." SO ALL MAY EAT The farms of the United States than eight thousand million dollars materials for the making of clothicles.

The farms of the United States produced this year more than eight thousand million dollars' worth of foodstuffs and raw materials for the making of clothing and other necessary articles. That tremendous volume of wealth was literally created; it represents no mere jugling of money or clever bookkeeping to take the appearance of enrichment. In these astounding achievements of agriculture are found the bases of the prosperity and the greatness of the nation. The assurance of food heartens everyone. Nobody need be hungry. Then all may strive together, each in his peculiar way. The miners may bring forth ore; the craftsmen may fashion it. Foresters may bring timber, and the builders shape it. All the activities in which civilized peoplets busy themselves may go forward to produce the tremendous output and income of our miraculous country because the workers can be fed. This is the reason that agriculture always has been in respect in America. The people of the United States know the source of their bread and butter.

The fact that you have regularly employed the Eagle's Adevertising space to promote and stimulate your business argues well that you have realized satisfactory returns on your investment, and we appreciate this your acknowledgement of the value of this paper as a strong advertising medium. As we close our books for 1929, we review, with great pride, our advertising record for that period while we are not convinced that we have had our fair share of business, we nevertheless pause here to render our thanks for that measure of support which made this, our fifthieth Xmas Greeting possible. We have come to regard you members of the great Eagle Fraternity and have taken a personal interest and pride in your welfare, and your patronage measured us that the feeling was mutual. We are therefore resolved to pull for you in the future provided you pull with us. Our recent survey of Los Angeles recalls that of the 70,000 colored people resident here, the Eagle reaches over half of them. It knows them and is known by them. It has lived to see this 70,000 grow from a few dozens. It has witnessed the growth of Los Angeles from that of a mere railroad bystation to the Metropolis of the Pacific Coast. It has lived to see those who are babes in 1879 grow into great grand-dads of 1929. In plain, the Eagle grew up with the City and there grew in it a strength of Character and Personality that are peculiarly its own. Therefore, this being true, it cannot and MUST not be assumed that it is in a spirit of charity that the Eagle seeks your advertisement business. Do not think of your ads as contributions, or accommodations; but rather as a 50-50 business investment proposition with you having the better of the argument so far as dollars and cents go in returns. We detailed one of our staff recently to make a survey of the business institutions skirting or dotting the sections in which the bulk of our group lives, with the purpose of gathering data concerning the sentiment and reaction of those merchants in that vicinity. To the date of this writing he reports the following resume of facts as the results of interviews; That there are about 1,000 Merchants and other business institutions in the immediate vicinity of our people, from 75% to 95% of whose business is drawn from colored trade. He talked with 479 persons connected with those firms carefully listening to their story and excuses as to why some did not use this paper for advertising purposes. 102 have used the paper more or less regularly and expressed intentions to continue. 74 made only occasional use of it and considered that as gratuitous. 82 felt so secure in their present colored trade that they did not think it necessary to put forth any effort or money to keep it. One hundred six preferred the use of handbills, dodgers, post cards or personal letters to newspaper advertisement. Fifty-six confined their advertisement to the daily papers with the explanation that they were not sold on the idea that class publications were a good business investment for advertising. Thirteen did not seem to know what advertisement was all about. That is, they were not sold on the idea that advertisement of any kind stimulated business. Eleven conveniently "could not" understand English (except of course in case of a buyer). Six adroitly refused with out explanation. Twenty-two though not previously convinced that advertising helped, were converted to the idea during the interview. And seven claimed that their financial condition did not warrant any expenditures of any kind. For the benefit of those merchants, the majority of whose business comes from their colored patrons, let us make a little analysis of just what that colored trade means to the thousands or more places located in the evicinity of the colored sections. If the 70,000 colored people required only one dollar per day per capita, that would mean $70,000.00 per day or $25,550,000.0 per year. If the one thousand merchants drew equally from that trade it would represent $25,550.00 each per year or $70.00 per day including Sundays or $490.00 per week. When we consider that each person of that 70,000 required much more than $1.00 per day for food, clothes, houses, furniture, automobiles and other necessities of living, we shall see that it costs much in excess of $1.00 per day. Suppose five hundred of those merchants used the general publications only such as the big dailies and the other five hundred not only used the dailies, but patronized the race paper with an ad also. Would anybody reason that the 500 which used the race papers would not draw patronage of our peoples from those 500 which did not recognize one of their own institutions? This is assuming that both groups of merchants advertised the same things at the same prices and quality. Would not the losing merchants soon set about to remedy the cause? Then why not now before there is a cause? This is not a threat, it is a belated warning, that the Eagle is wide awake to these facts and will not always remain quiet. When it "screams" its shreik will thunder throughout the sections in which its own people live, and the shock will be felt. We come to you on our merit. You need, and do place advertisement somewhere sometimes. Give us a chance. We do a high grade commercial printing too. If you must have hand bills, dodgers, cards, etc., call VAndike 9244, and we will serve you. MERRY XMAS! --- THE HEARST PAPERS RAVE We do not know nearly so mury scheme as we know about the ganda.

We know that when these papers wail and go to the ridiculous situation which they create themselves that thers is something "rotten in Denmark." We have heard them rave and villify before, notable so in the Bullock case some years ago, when these Hearst papers tried to bulldoze the city council and the people as well. With the result they were sat down upon with a vengeance. We heard them rave about the present boxing law. They reviled people and even tried to force the race issue but they got nowhere and were repudiated at the polls so badly it was a question of whether or not they would ever have the brazen effrontery to come before the people again. Now, however omney seems to talk and the big cement combine seems to have the call upon the Hearst papers services and they are at it again. We know as we foresaid not nearly so much about Bell's proposition as we do about the Examiner's attitude upon such questions as affect the people, and if they are sputtering and puitting forth the hate and venom such as they are, we would be for what they oppose on general principles; and the same thought seems to be in harmony with the people, for these sheets have been always snowed under whenever the people have had a chance to register their vote.

Generally speaking that is the way it looks to the staff. FOOD FOR THOUGHT Judging by the general indifference of Negroes toward the efforts of such an organization as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, one is led to conclude that the vast majority of our people do not appreciate the value of propaganda. Some of the intellectuals who ought to know better actually sneer at such efforts. Now while all organizations and the work they do ought to be saney seruminized and subject to criticism at all times, I must confess that most of the criticism I hear from Negroes concerning this propaganda in their behalf is just simply silly. The bulk of it is concerned with personalities and with pointing out that propaganda hasn't yet succeeded in ushering the groom into Uttonia. Propaganda is nothing more than presenting facts and arguments favorable to your side, so that public opinion will be favorably inclined toward you. There are numerous kinds of propaganda ranging from the efforts of state, church and school to mould the public mind to the advertisements appearing in newspapers and magazines advocating the purchase of this or that article or commodity. For propaganda to be effective it must have entree to the channels thru which information is disseminated. Since most people get their first news about current events from the daily newspapers, the efficient propaganda agency must make contacts with the hundreds of newspapers and press services in the United States. If your propaganda agency does not have the confidence an drespect of these newspapers and news agencies, most of the submitted material will be thrown into the waste basket as soon as you send it in. Again, if your cause is to get intelligent editorial comment in the hundreds of newspapers in the United States, it must not be a fly-by-night affair. Releases must have been sent in at regular intervals over a long period of time in order to convince the various editors of the general accuracy and honesty of the source from which it emanate. All of this requires an established organization staffed by competent officials who have facts and not theories to work on. Newspapers and press services do not want theories and assumptions, but unless they get accurate information their comment on your cause will invariably be colored by theories and assumptions. If we do not present the facts as we see them, then our enemies will present the facts as THEY see them. Our enemies may point to the fact that the percentage of Negroes in the population. It remains for us to point out that this is not due to any greater criminality on the part of the Negro but rather to the fact that he constitutes, generally speaking, the lowest economic group in the community and when brought to court is faced with judges, district attorneys and jurymen who are in the main prejudiced against him because of color. In this instance both sides have presented facts, but see what a different conclusion is reached when you point out the facts as the Negro sees them! No group, business or enterprise, in modern life can get very far without propaganda. The best proof is that almost every concern and organization has a propaganda or publicity bureau. Some public relations counsels get as much as $100,000 a year for getting favorable publicity for ```markdown ``` nd on their heads who believes killed those women on Thanks sort of degree of malice.

Surely a group consisting of 12,000,000 people whose welfare and progress depends to a large extent on what a group of 100,000,000 other people think of them, ought to spend ten times as much as that for propaganda of the kind released by the N.

Education will some day be Universal, and the old method and formulas will be remembered curiously. The schools of Pedogyology, developed by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, Freebell, Pestalozzi, and Bacon will be as extinct as the Dodo. We will probably with the increased knowledge of the forces of Nature, and their utilization for the means of living and leisure, acquire the ability to appropriate for ourselves the power to live. The means of communication and dissemination of knowledge will hasten this period. It is most important therefore that in the work of education, all destructive ideas be eliminated in Human relationship through the World, and that in the new social order, the errors of the past and the present shall not P. S. TWISTER NEW YORK. DEC. 6.—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals will pass on the Virginia election law, which makes it possible for state party committees to bar Negroes from state primary elections. This information is contained in a letter sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Alfred E. Cohen, attorney, of Richmond, Virginia, who, with Joseph R. Pollard, has been in charge of the case through the lower courts. A decision by Judge D. Lawrence Groome has held that the Virginia law is unconstitutional in that provision, but arrangement has been perfected to obtain a ruling on it by a higher court. Should this case come before the United States Supreme Court, as is planned, and a favorable decision be obtained, it will complete the circle begun in the Texas White Primary case, in which it was held that no state could enact a law specifically barring Negroes from primary elections. The present case concerns the attempt to accomplish the same end, not by state law, but through voters' qualifications set up by party committees. NEW YORK, DEC. 6.—Evidence that the newspapers of the civilized world dare closely following developments in American race relations, is contained in clippings increasingly received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from European and African dailies.

Hass, Judge of the Municipal Court of the City of Los Angeles, in behalf of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce on the tour of the Chamber of Commerce through Mexico, delivered at Aguascalientes and Torrenn. Officers and members of the Mexican Chamber of Commerce. In rising in reply to the able address delivered by your countrymen who has just proceeded me, I take occasion to thank the Chamber of Commerce and the people of this city for the splendid reception accorded us while here. In fact in every city in Mexico, where we have had occasion to stop and visit, we have received avery hearty welcome indeed. Not only have you handed us the keys to your city, but you have opened to us the portals of your homes and, to use a Mexican phrase, you have placed your hearts in our hands. We are overwhelmed with your kindness. If this does not establish good fellowship, if this does not encourage reciprocity, if this does not engender an international good feeling, nothing in the world can bring forth that mutual accord and perfect understanding which. I assure you, every member of this excursion longs for and strives for. People of Mexico, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we hope the day may come when we are enabled to reciprocate. Coming from Los Angeles we have indeed a great deal in common with you, any of your citizens have been in our city and many who were formerly with you have now found homes with us. In fact, it is known to you that Los Angeles is now the second largest Mexican City in the World? Surpassed only by the magnificent capital of your Republic. I mean by that, we have within the City of Los Angeles about 175,000 people of Mexican stock, and we have within the County of Los Angeles over 200,000 that trace their lenience to Mexico. More than this our city was founded by your people, founded in solemn ceremony, giving it an honorable birth. On September 4th, 1781, it was born at what is now Old Plaza. On that eventful day in solemn procession, headed by Governor De Neve and Father Crusado and Sanchez, a small body of your fellow citizens wended their way from the San Gabriel Mission, some ten miles away to what is now our Plaza, and with prayer and speechmaking placed Los Angeles on the map, and what, by the aid of these Mexican pioneers, we are now may prove to you that humble beginning was not blessed in vain. We are now a city of almost a million and half souls, and growing by leaps and bounds, but we are not unmindful of the part that Mexico and Mexicans have played in bringing about our prosperity. Such names as those of the Sepulveda, and Poices, Coronel, Del Valle, Orfila, Domingues and innumerable others still hold a foremost place in the present activities of Los Angeles as they did in the history of its beginning. It was Mrs. Dominguez who had enough faith in our city to give it its first street car lines, and since the days of the founding of that family in Los Angeles, the name of Dominguez is identified not only with its construction, but in the profession of the law and the splendid protection our city has had against the ravages of fire. We are indeed indebted to our Mexican strain for so much of our success and so much of our splendor. For fifty years after the war with Mexico our City was ably governed by men of your nationality who to their credit quickly forgot their antipathy and bent their efforts in giving us good government and order. And when the Great Civil War came between the states, it was these same people of Mexican stock who saved us from secession, proving themselves loyal to that indivisible constellation of stars upon our flag in spite of the fact that a strong faction of our people attempted to secede California from the American Union. And so in the years that have followed, we have become one people, having at heart the interests of our common City and our common country, sacrificing together for the commonwealth. And so, my good friends, it is our hope that Mexico may prosper for we know the virtues of your people and we know you are capable of it. No where is man more brave, no where is man more generous, nowhere is man more willing, if given a chance. I witnessed the ingenuity and the adaptability of the little orphan children at your trade schools in Hermosillo. I witnessed your farmers, hoping to compete with stick plows and oxen. I see everywhere, men, women and children carrying heavy burdens undergoing almost one human sacrifice without a grumble, smiling all the while. Does any one dare tell me that these people have not a great future before them. Men of Mexico, it was the fortitude of our pioneers that made our present country great; it is your fortitude that will make Mexico some day the Garden of Allah. if some day the Garden or Allah. I may have said enough to convince you that I am many of you do understand you. Let me tell you that like you, most seriously hope for a speedy way out of all your difficulties, and it is apparent, and you yourself say it. Mexico has its difficulties. On all sides we are told that Mexico needs the surplus capital ying idle in the United States that must find a market. Believe me, my friends that that same capital is only too desirous of coming to Mexico, to be invested, for we realize that you have a land of vast natural wealth awaiting development. But capital is a shy maiden that will intrude until her path is made safe. Capital must find security. When our financiers no longer are troubled about Revolutions in Mexico, when we know that capital will be secure, here it will come freely. And in spite of what you may hear, this same capital is not seeking to upset your government, is not seeking to rob you of your personal liberties, it does not intend to trouble itself with questions of religion or public policy. It demands but two things, security and a fair rate of interest. Given these it will make Mexico prosperous. That we are not seeking Chapultepec is well settled by our action toward Cuba. It has been indeed a privilege to sit with you, break bread with you, discourse with you. I, being able to speak some Spanish, have thoroughly enjoyed, and do thoroughly enjoy, talking freely with you all, from the humblest Indian to the greatest in your land, and my fellow excursionists likewise. We will take with us back to the states a happy recollection of Mexico and of the cordial reception you have tendered us. I know when, again, this Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce visits you, it will receive as corial a welcome as we have, for the reputation we will give Mexico, on our return, will merit such a reception. I thank your heartily in behalf of our Chamber of Commerce, and our people. Cause Of Killing Haitians Read Between The Lines By WILLIAM BICKENS Did you ferret out "from between the lines" the reason why five Haitians, perhaps more, were killed and many others wounded by armed American marines? The cause was indicated but it was not meant to be so clearly indicated: You had to interpret it. This is it. A marine told a Haitian to move on the Haitian did not move so fast; the marine thereupon knocked the Haitia down with the butt of his rifle and then began to kick and trample the prostrate man. Wereonup the Haitian, in natural animal self-defense, used the only weapon he had, his teeth, and bit the marine on the leg. For this there is slaughter and repression of the hapless Haitian people, people. Of course, the American papers do not tell it in this way; they say that the marine "struck" the Haitian leader with his automatic rifle. The papers do not inform you that the man was knocked down and trampled, but the papers unwittingly let you in on that fact by adding that the Haitian "bit the marine on the leg." Right there is where our own brain begins to work; for a man just "struck" and left standing does not bite his assailant "in the leg," and a man downed cannot bite a leg unless that leg is brought near him. You will have to use your brains to appreciate this Haitian situation. There is an American terror in Haiti. The people some of the finest people in the western world, are at the savage mercy of two-penny-headed marines from Minnesota and Alabama. Of course, President Hoover should send a commission with "guts" to find and speak the truth about our fifteen years of Roman occupation in that AMARILLA'S HOME COMING (By MRS. G. L. JACKSON) The day was a beautiful November morn, clear but a trifle cold. Evidently the lone woman on the winding white road thought so also, for she pulled her shabby coat more closely about her. The face, at the moment set in lines of tragic bitterness had once been round and pretty, and the head, though bowed had once once held proudly and still possessed an abundance of beautiful dark hair. The wanderer paused to look about for a place to rest, sigheen and sank down after a hasty glance, on an old log by the roadside to think. Memories seemed to assail her, for she hid her head in her shabby coat folds and wept silently for some time. Amarilla Jordan was going home. At least she was going back to the scenes from which she had fled a few short years ago. She was now in her early thirties, although at a glance she appeared older. She still possessed much of the attractive beauty of her youth, as indee the great dark eyes were more beautiful for they held the sad wistfulness of the woman fully awakened. She had been the spoiled daughter of her poor but honest parents, the adored sister of her tour brothers and sisters. Everyone cheerfully went without for her. If Jenny's old coat would possibly do for another winter, she gladly gave up all thoughts of a new one, so that Amarilla might look her best in one of the latest style. Mother carefully mended her best black silk, and dutifully repressed a sigh over the thought of her long wanted one, so that Amarilla might appear sparkling beautiful at the next ball. Even father and brother went without for her. Thus it happened that Luke Jordan, somewhat bashful but steady youth, several years 'Amarilla's senior, fell madly in love with her. He was considered quite a catch by most of the match-making mammas of the neighborhood. They were plainly disgusted when they became aware of his obvious choice of Amarilla. "He must have mighty poor taste," they would say, mournfully, as they thought of their own daughters. "I declare it is shamful the way that girl carries on. She makes eyes at every boy around here, and if a new one happens on the scene, she shows out somep in awful. Catch me lettin' Luhu make sech a show of herself." Amarilla seemed blissfully unaware of the consternation she was causing however, and as acknowledged belle of Flintridge, continued to smile upon her devoted admirers. The sight of her red laughing mouth, dark curls and lithe, slender figure, flitting here and there in delightful freedom, never failed to arouse the admiration in some male breast, only to blast it a little later. Finally she seemed to tire of her flippancies and gave Jude her promise to be married. Of course he was overjoyed and considered himself the likeliest home on earth. He painted his modest home, and had the rooms nicely finished in preparation for his bride. Indeed, so happy was he, that he failed to note, her lack of interest in the little home. "We will be happy, my Amarilla," he would say, and took no notice of her sighs, and was quite contented with her restless answer. "Yes, I suppose we will, at least "Yes, I suppose we will, at least ma and pa will be satisfied." They were married on Thanksgiving Day, and to Amarilla trugging sadly homeward, the picture came back to her with poignant clearness. The gaily decorated home, the pretty church scene, friends everywhere even those who were disappointed seemed happy for her. The festive appearance of the well laden table, and at last Jude's tenor happiness in having her by his side in their own small home. Her mind traveled back to the days when their first child was born. Everyone so happy and proud, Jude especially, now that he was blessed with a son and heir. Amarilla thought only of her beauty however, and only began to notice her small son when she found that it was not impaired. But by, the time her small daughter arrived she was growing heartily tired of domestic life. She had to give up many of her pleasures, and there always seemed to be something the children needed when she wanted new furbelows to show off. Jude noticing her growing discontent and decided to give her a short vacation. Thus it happened that she went for a short vacation to her cousin's home in a city a short distance from her home. The two weeks she passed all too swiftly, and she-found it difficult to settle down to the life of a mere housewife once more. The vision of her cousin Milfred's home, and all too apparent ac- miration of the city men, as they beheld her fresh country loviness, constantly arose before her. Surely her cousin was no more entitled to the gay good times and lovely clothes she wore than herself. She decided to get a job in the city like Mildred had done. Having decided that she could bear it no longer, she slipped quietly away, one night, after leaving a short note for Jude. Her conscience smote her, somewhat when she remembered Jude's patience and tenderness toward her, even in her selfishness and egotism. She contented herself with the thought that her mother would take good care of the children, during her absence. Mildred did not seem surprised to see her, merely remarking, "I knew you were taken with the good times we had, Amarilla. We can have some swell times together now." Amarilla found the passing days filled to the brim with pleasure. She obtained a job as a soda fountain clerk, and spent most of her earnings on clothes. Soon she had plenty of admirers, and found the bright lights of the city more fascinating as time passed. At first she disliked the careless abandon of the scantily women, and snug confidence of the men, but, wished to convince her cousin that she was not countrified and a lil' modesty as Mildred called her. But the god's of fortune do not smile forever, and during her second years' stay in the city, life began to grow a trifle monotonous. To make matters worse, she fell ill, and to her surprise her good time friends, began to fall away. At first, they would gather about her bedside and try to cheer her up, but as time went on, and she grew no better, they did not come often. Her cousin seemed to resent her dependence also, and she soon began to feel in the eway. She found that she no longer wanted the twadry admiration of the men nor the laughter and mock love-making which once had thrilled her. She found herself longing instead for the clinging touch of her baby's hand and the sound of his lisping voice, and soil baby kisses. She remembered her wedding day, and Jude, not hot-handsome, he was a read man, and true mate. She compared the generous hospitality with the selfish attitude of the city dwellers, who gave only for the sake of favors returned. How cheerful and homey she now realized was her humble man. Slow tease coursed down her cheeks as she realized that she has indeed given gold for brass tinsel. So it happened that Amarilla was going home. She wanted only to carry away a more perfect picture of her loved ones, for she hoped not for Jade's pardon. Having viewed her act in the cold light of reason, she knew that she deserved no mercy. How dear the little cottage looked in the gathering dusk. Smoke curled from the chimney, and as Amarilina stole quietly near, she could hear the happy murmur of voices. Through the partly closed window she caught a glimpse of a lighted hearth, and seated before it, Jude a tricker older and sadder perhaps, but the same old Jude with the brooding tender eyes. Seated on the rug before the open fire, were a small boy, busily pouring over a book, and a aark curled hairy chubby girl, with Amarilina's own red laughing mouth and beautiful eyes. Her mother appeared in the doorway between and Amarilina drank in humgrily, the sight of that beloved face with the soft graving hair above it. She guessed that she was there to prepare Jude's Thanksgiving dinner, since this was the day before. Then too, various savory odors drifted out to where she stood, sorrowful and alone. At least her mother was very fond of Jude and would do all she could for his comfort. At last she turned sorrowfully away, tears dimming her eyes, and because she was hungry, and very tired, she decided to rest a moment on the front porch. Instead, she felt suddenly dizzy and sank down, overcome by fatigue, in a dead faint. Jude, listening as always for his Amarilla's doorsteps, as he hd'd always held hope of her return, heard the taint sound of her fall. Rising quickly, he opened the door, and for a moment peered out into the darkness. He was about to close the door in disappointment, when he noticed, an arm extended upon the porch. With a smothered exclamation, he sprang to her side and lifting her compassionately in his arms, bore her into the light and warmth of home. Thanksgiving Day, and Amarilia standing at the window with Jude's arms about her felt very, very happy. She had so much to be thankful for, and to think that she could spend Thanksgiving Day at home with her family. She had never appreciated them until now. Jude, seeing the misty tears in her eyes, kissed her gently on the hair. "We can begin to understand the INDUSTRIAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW By WILLIAM McMANON, Press The following groups are desirable from which to make specific stock selectiona. This is particularly true at present because they are what might be called the "necessity" sort and not "luxury," the theory being that too many people have lost money in the stock market lately in order to be able to indulge very much in luxuries. We must eat whether we were bereft of our brokerage account or not. Therefore Food Manufacturers should high manufacture or sell food products, are good to buy now. Some of them afford opportunities by reason of their strong entrenched positions in public trading and excellence of product. Bailroad stocks should be considered in these groups also. The railroads have just enjoyed the most prosperous 9 months in their history. The record of freight loadings to the end of October was about 4 percent ahead of the same time a year ago. Besides, the declines in these issues during this late market slump were less than were registered among the general run of industrials. The oil group is not of the luxury sort, for obvious reasons. The industry has been trying for three years to inaugurate some practical plan of self regulation in point of crude production, but the job has been a hard one. For nearly a year each report for the week showed a gain in crude production. Values were in from stabilisation. The companies made more money than ever before. But they are making headway in control and results are beginning to be apparent. The situation is summed up in a nut shell by Mr. Joseph Pagod, consulting engineer. "Rationalization," said it, "in the petroleum industry will be attained first in the refining and marketing branches where this undertaking will meet less resistance, and then proceed more slowly the field of oil exploration and the oil industry will intervene because of the inertia of obsolete legal restrictions and the ill-advised opposition of small interests." Then come the copper group. The price should stay around 18 cents for copper, because into reports seem to indicate that stocks of the red metal on hand show a slight increase. Copper looks ahead for year or more; it might be possible that what is called Rhodianite copper may enter the market in great quantities, to the distribution of prices. It will be a long time, however, before any glutting in the market will occur from the copper supply. Copper applications should almost keep up with production, we must when the new supply. Steel stocks are surely far and away from the luxury classification. Companies report good operating schedules with a wholesome absence of heavy inventions. Whatever is felt from the automotive industry will or should be offset by increased orders from railroads and construction sources. meaning of "Thanksgiving" now "Rilla" he said, using her pet name. I always hoped you would return home to us, but had not hoped to be blessed so soon with the granting of my wish. You see we need you so much. "How foolish I was Judie. Amarilla answered, not to guess that I possessed earth's dearest treasurers, all the time, while I sought them elsewhere. Hereafter I shall devote my time to giving gifts and service to others, instead of selfishly receiving always." The happy light in her eyes deepened as she turned to greet her father, brothers and sisters. The marks of the past years faded, as she turned from them to her sturdy son and small daughter. Amarilla of a truth had come home. Garrison Lodge Of Masons Elect Officers On last Thursday evening, the 13th inst.

As they appear at casual times I greet you gladly may we meet. Some day, somewhere on Friendship's street CENTRAL MARK TEN ROUND CLASSIC BROWN BOY FLOORED IN FIFTH Santiago Zorrilla and Joey Sangor, two of the fightenss fighters that ever pulled on a glove, came back to the old town in a blaze of glory. Joey won the refe's duke, but the little brown boy from the Canal Zone did not lose a thing by having the Jewish kid's hand raised. Sangor won because of a knockdown in the fifth round that looked as if it spelt doom for the dark boy, but he came back strong and wasn't in danger of being floored again. WONDERFUL FIGHT The two boys met for the fourth time Tuesday night and if the cash customers had not of known it they would have thought it the first time from the way they locked horns. The other three battles were just as close and as hard to decide. The count now stands two for Sangor one for Santiago and one no-decision. The fight these two little gamsters put on was the kind you could and do talk about for days after and never tire of telling what a great fight that both of them put up. ZORRILLA CLEVER The Pananian is a very clever kid and he won the first three rounds straight running. He bobbed and wavered to a perfection and Sangor could not find him with either hand. Santiago was going in there every minute making every blo wcount and the best part of it was Joey couldn't touch him. For three rounds the dark skinned boy made the Hebrew look like a beginner. But the Jewish kid can fight and he started to find his range and from the fourth on he poured some mighty leit nooks into Zorilla. Forces Fight The brown skin kid forced the fight from the beginning to the eid and was on top of Sangor from one round to the other. He boxed in close and he boxed standing off it made no difference he was right with the Hebrew every where he went. In the fifth Sangor found the range with that right hand of his and dropped it over on Santiago's chin and the boy from the tropics went down for an eight count. It looked as if it was a knock-out, but Zorilla was up and coming back at the count of eight. Sangor threw punches all over the ring trying to knock the brown boy out, but he couldn't find the right spot and Santiago was there winging for all he was worth when the bell clanged for the tenth. The fight was a close one and was decided by the knock down that Sangor scored in the fifth. TORRES PUTS RAMOS OUT Banana fared father badly Tuesday night. Luis Ramos, Zorrilla's stablemate, lost by a knock-out in the fourth heat after being down several times. Torres, Goldie Hess' hard hitting stablemate, put the hooks into Ramos. Torres hits like a mule kicking and when he connects it is too bad and I don't mean maybe. Torres had Ramos on the floor a couple of times with that right hand and was set for a the finishing punch when the third man stepped in and stopped the fight. REFEREE PULLS ONE Referee Barney Meyers called Leonid Bennett the winner over Rito Punay in the special and the gallery boys almost had a fit. It was wrong and Rito deserved the duke. Hymie Miller won a six-round decision over Eddie Lowe, when he took four of the six rounds. In the opener, Freddie Tompkins beat Willie Fausto. After writing about the preliminaries we thought we were all through with fights for the day, but we just had to go back and think over that great battle those two boys, Sangor and Zorrilla put up Tuesday night. Didn't those boys go? especially that Zorrilla, he was in there every minute. He didn't back up once, he was coming all the time and fighting like h——. The kid has lost some of his speed, but he still is one o fthe fastest men in the ring and he made the Jewish boy miss plenty and further more he was hurting him with his punches. KENNEDY FAIR Lut. Jack Kenendy is one of the best referees in the game today and he calls them just as he sees them, but that fight Tuesday night was hard to call and personally I think Santiago was entitled to a draw at least. Incidentally there are many others that think the same way and a rematch would prove it. Zorrilla did not lose a thing by losing the duke. It was a piping of a fight Baby Sal and Johnny Adams Draw Baby Sal and Johnny Adams Draw Baby Sel Soria and Johnny Adame the used to be Mountain Lion, fought to a draw in ten rounds at their home town in San Bernardino last Thursday night. The match was the most talked of bout in weeks and months in the Gate City and it drew them in like flies. The arena was packed and jammed with hundreds standing in the aisles. JOHNNY ASKS FOR FIGHT Adams asked for the fight because he thought the kid Baby Sal was taking his place in the hearts of the Sam Berdoo fight fans and that wouldn't must have a fight with the hard hit hard hitting Mex. Before the fight the old Pacific Coast Champion made all kinds of threats and boast as to what he would do to the Mexican kid when he got him in the rins. But these things failed to materialize Thursday night. Johnny failed to wear the kid down and then knock him out as he said he would do. Sal did not make any pre-battle talk and therefore it did not look so bad for him, but Adams was made to look like a puffed up bag of wind. SAL HAD BEST OF FIGHT Beyond a doubt Sol and the beat of the fight. He cut Johnny up some and had him out on his feet several times, but he couldn't level that old right of his on him in the right spot to put him away for good. FOUGHT CAREFUL FIGHT Both boys fought a cautious battle and neither one noted like they hated each other to any extent as they usually do in a grudge fight. These so-called grudge fights are the bunk and OILERS & GIANTS IN CRUCIAL SERIES Shell Oil To Play San Luis Mexicans In 1st Game On Sunday The Shell Oil and the Royal Giants will tangle in the week-end se ries at White Sox Park on even terms this coming Saturday and Sunday. And oh boy! what a tangle that will be. Both teams are tied now for honors in the second half, having won two games apiece. The Kelly Kars lost two games to the Royal Giants last week by the identical score of 5 to 1 but luckily heat out the San Luis by a score of 5 to 4. The series was featured by excellent pitching on all teams and the series was errorless. The Pirrone All-Stars suffered a reverse at the hands of Shell Oil when the ylost a double bill to the Oilers by a score of 6 to 1 and a heart rendering two-hit game 1 to 0. Last weeks' victories leave the Giants and Oilers even and this week will tell the tale. The last time the Giants and Oilers met at Sox Park the klan of Boykin and Goodwin were shot to pieces and scattered hither and yon. Livingston was in Texas and Macky and Hollo-way were on the hospital list leaving a crippled team to suffer a disastrous fate. An inquiry to manager goodwin about the team at this time brings the familiar tune, "It Tain't So—It Tain't So." The team is all in tact and raring to go. Likewise the Giants' pitching staff is in excellent condition and the team was never in better form. The fans can surely be in for a treat on this coming week-end bill. Another feature of the series will be the Shell Oilers playing the San Luis Mexicans in the first game on nSunday. The San Luis have a loss and a victory over the other teams in the League but have not played the Oilers as yet. The San Luis team is a greatly improved organization and have recently become very cocky and are anxious for the chance to play the Oilers, winners of the first half honors. San Luis lost all of their first games to the other clubs and it will, be interesting to observe ho wthey come usually turn out to be a flop. It is very seldom indeed a grudge fight takes on the aspect of a real tight with feeling behind it. Anyway, the boys fought to a draw and the hometown folk did not go for it big at all. They were expecting blood and thunder and according to some of them it was a tea party. SAL TO FIGHT HESS Baby Sal is to get his chance to click in big time again, when he fights Goldie Hess at the Olympic at 135 pounds in a bout that may surprise some folks. Sal was stopped in his last start at the Olympic by Eddie Mack, the fighting college kid in five rounds. Hess is the kind of a fighter that can make Sorla loo kgood. If he will follow instructions from his corner. Little Goldie was taken down the path in his last start with Cecil Payne, but he still packs them in and will for some time to come. He has that old it that brings them from far and near to see him wing in there for ten rounds at the same speed. Mosby's Music House WHAT NEXT It has often been stated, but not in print that the Hollywood Legion does not and will not have mixed bouts between Colored boys and white boys. Yet they will match the Mexican, Filipino, Indian and "what not" with the white boy, but never a black boy. This statement is true and it is a fact and I say it is "just hellish." WHO ARE THE BOXING LORDS Sometime ago, the boxing bill was up to the voters for a yes or no. It looked rather shakey for boxing. The Negro voters put it on uneasy street. The time was near at hand. Promotors match-makers began to flock East of Main Street, especially Tom Gallery the Hollywood matchmaker and a "American Legion" if you please. Vote for boxing he wouluery. He was asked will the black boy get a chance in your club to fight. Oh! yes, yes, and he is still yessing but never has a black boy put his foot in the Hollywood American Legion ring. DO YOU GET THIS? "AMERICAN LEGION." WHAT A SHAME. WHAT IS THE PART THE COMMISSION has to do. Their duties as I understand are to see that boxers do not break their contracts with managers and promoters; to issue dates for boxing shows. To see to it that no punk matches are made or forced on the public and to see that promoters do not over charge the public and that boxing have a clean bill of health all the way around. THE PUBLIC WANTS IN LOS ANGELES The fight fans I am referring to want more mixed bouts. In the out in their first encounter with the Shell Oilers. Too much stress cannot be put on the importance of the coming series between the Royal Giants and Oilers. If the Giants can take the Oilers into camp in this series, they will have a good chance to win the second half because the other teams are now playing Shell Oil like fury. The Oilers know that their most formidable rivals are the Giants and they too will be out for blood. You can't afford to miss this struggle. X-mas Edition, Fri., Dec. 20, '29 COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES Olympic no exception from heavy-weights on down to fly-weight. So if the statements are true and are naive from time to time it is being proven consistently. The black fighter here on the coast especially right in your own back yard is not getting a fair play and the fans are sure missing some sure fire boots. Surely the promoters and the commission are not making these statement to satisfy themselves; surely they are not voicing the sentiments of the fight fans who pay the freight and keep the boxing game alive, so why should they attempt to Jim-crow and sergeate the Negro prize fighter? Play fair or you will pay. Remember this is a sport and it has always been all men regardless of color, fight together and against each other as in wars and conflicts. HAS THE AMERICAN LEGION in Hollywood forgotten this? So it should be in all sports. BUT BACK TRACKING FOR INSTANT. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY. AND. "GAWGA TECH" did not. Why should the black fighter be denied the right to make a livelihood in which he has perfected and skilled himself to do in this country that they have long lived and helped to protect. I am crying out aloud-shame on you Hollywood American Legion, where is your true American spirit of fair play. Are you true to the fundamental principles of American Democracy. LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU TOM GALLERY THAT YOU RIGHT ABOUT FACE IN YOUR ATTITUDE THE NEGRO PRIZEFIGHTER. There are outstanding Colored Prize fighters right at your own front door. "And I don't mean maybe" from Heavyweights on down to the little fellows black fighters who fight namely Willie Henry. Neal Clisby. John Lester Johnson. Charley Long. Jack Thompson. Baby Joe Gans Dynamite Jackson, and others nationally known who always give the fans a run for there money. The boys some of them have seen service for Uncle Sam and along side of you at that. Let them fight for themselves in time of peace so that they may be able to eat and sleep in a decent way. If you don't watch out; your acts may cause a reaction at the polls on a coming election day. The boxing fans are tired of being over Lordin now-o-days. We want men that are clean and above board in the spirit of fair play and not men that are narrow. sby's X-mas Edition, Fri., Dec. 20, '29 RAILROAD By CLATTER CHARLES L. UPION 80 847 Central Avenue LOS ANGELES DISTRICT PAYS RESPECT TO GENERAL MANAGER On last Friday, Dec. 13th silent tribute was paid to Mr. F. L. Woods, deceased Gen. Manager of the Pullman Company who was buried in Boston at 2:30 P. M. eastern standard time there being three hours difference in the time between this city and Boston, work was ordered stopped here at exactly 11:30 A. M. New particulars, and facts were brought out concerning the sudden death of Mr. Woods, when it was learned from Mr. O. W. Snoddy at a safety first meeting that the Genl. Manager was optimistic up to the very hour of his deah, and had planned to hold several meetings in Los Angeles directly after his operation, however he had a severe caughing spell and the strain was too much; he told the doctors and nurses that he felt that something had given away, which was afterward found to be the case, and he relapsed in to an unconscious state and never recovered. We will all miss Mr. Woods. He was a good man to everybody. L. A. COFFIN APPOINTED P. B A. INVESTIGATOR Mr. L. A. Coffin, former Pullman Porter Instructor mace his farewell address at a safety-first meeting last week. He was introduced to the large assembleage of Pullman Porters who attended the meeting and was roundly applauded by those present. He stated that he was like a ship with out a rudder ever since he retired and that he had been working harder since he came off the job, then while on it he made a plea to the chairmans of the various meetings to be sure and notify him when ever they must meet, as that would be the only time that he could get off from home. and the drudgery of house work. Mr. Coffin also stated that during this year there had been a decided drop in the membership of the P. P. B. A. and that he was going to use every effort to increase the membership in this district. --- C. H. LEVY MAKES PLEA FOR BENEVOLEM ASSOCIATION C. H. Levey gave a very interesting talk on the Local Benevolent Association, an organization formed by a small hand of porters of this district: this Association has been in existence for over ten years, and pays a sickly benefit and a death benefit. The joining fees are small and easy to keep up. At the present time they no not owe a penny, and have several hundred dollars in the treasury, the association meets once a month in the Y. M. C. A. and very lively meetings are held. At the last meeting a series of two minute talks were had by the different members, and provided interesting. Any porter who wishes to join this association, can get in now under a special dispensation which has been declared for a short while has been declared for a short while, J. T. Ambrose, C. II, Levy, or Mr. Norwood will be glad to write you up. SAFETY FIRST All public columns in daily and weekly paper's should devote a part of their space toward the cause of Safety, as Safety is the foundation and basis on which we continue to exist on earth. Were it not for the thousands of timely warnings constantly put before the public by the different Safety committees and Safety First organizations, we would soon cease to exist. Mr. E. L. Arnaud, a porter of this district, has just finished a very successful term as chairman of the safety first committee of this district. And a great deal of credit is due him for the manner in which he has put his safety first program over. Through his uniting efforts he has been able to bring out many useful suggestions to make life safe, and not a hazard, he is to be commended for his brilliant success as the now past chairman of Safety First of the Los Angeles. However the example that Mr. Arnaud has set, will serve as a splendid target for Mr. J. T. Ambrose to shoot at. Mr. Ambrose being elected as chairman for 1930. J. Eldridge Sec'y. Committeeman were. W. H. Bailey (G. D. Smock, and Mamie Braadshaw, a maid. E. L. ARNAUD COMPARES AIR TRAVEL WITH RAIL In his last address as chairman of the safety first committee, Mr. Arnaud said: The transportation act is one of the most sought, by other than the railroads, which carries the Pullman car's and that represents competition, but at hat they can't boast safety as we can on the Pullman cars. They are infants as far as we are concerned and are doing their best to keep quite every accident that occurs in order to boost their stocks and create interest in airplane travel, Safety being the most important part in their advertising. The plane that was built a month ago had a capacity of thirty-four passengers and a crew, crashed and went up in flames setting fire to two houses, when a train has a wreck you have got some chance of coming out alive, but when an airplane fourteen, or fifteen hurt, feet up in the air meets with at sent, it is just too bad.

SUPERINTENDENT SLASHES PULLMAN CONDUCTORS RUNS Pullman Conductors who a few weeks ago, thought they were setting on the moon with their feet hanging down on regular runs, are getting their first taste of what the extra board has to serve them, Mr. O. W Snoody picked his ax up thanks giving morning and after cutting off the turkeys head forgot to put the axe away, and has been using it ever since on the Pullman Conductors. Up to the present time he has cut off twenty-one regular Pullman conductors by different methods and it is rumered that he has just begun, Pullman Conductors are thollering like whipped children as they are gradually being relegated to the extra board, by the sharp ax. It has left a bloody trail on the Union Pacific, and the last time it was seen it was headed for the Santa Fe. RED CAP ASSULTED BY U. S. MARINES While he was busy changing a tire on his car in front of the Santa Fe depot, Harry Walton, ex prize fighter, and now a new cap was accosted by two United States Marines and requested to dance, Walton, not being in a 'dancing mood, only when in the ring, refused. The Marines not knowing that Harry was well versed in the art of self defense, having once knocked out the Champion Welterweight of one Uncle Sams famous battle ships in a ring encounter, proceeded to force Harry to dance by swinging at his jaw, Harry picked one of the Marines up body from the ground and slammed him down. The other Marine seeing the crank of the machine laying near cut Walton's head with it, and all activities ceased for the time being. They were arrested and locked in jail. But were later released to Uncle Sams for court martial, the results of which were promptly mailer to Washington for further advice. It is thought that the fighting Marines will not get less than a year in Levenworth for their fun. PULLMAN PILLOW SLIPS Wm. Esbury has let up a loud wail, and say he will never invite any more of his Pullman Porter friends to eat turkey again. He claims that he had J. E. Stafford A. L. Normand, and Logan out to a turkey feast, and after dinner, he took the boys out and showed them how many more he had left. At this time Logan was seen to take out a piece of paper and pencil and jot something down. The next day when Asbury's wife went to feed the herd, there was only two turkeys left. Now Asbury does not say that Logan stole the turkeys still he knows that Logan is very fond of the birds. Maybe he just took them home to have a few pets around the house. Stafford says, he did not take them. Norwood the same, but every time Asbury tries to bring the question up before Logan he says "Why! Bring that up." I. Franklin's reply on Safety First did not seem to fit well with the meeting last week. J. Bell brought the issue of the boys getting coffee to a head at the meeting last week. Mama can I have a drink of water? "Go ask your Father and so now all you have to do is ask the Pulman Conductor, thanks to Mr. J. Bell.

After dinner they all went for a ride in the Mack's new Morman. In the party was Prof. B. Ferris, the hostess' father. A delightful time was given all. (Please Turn to Page Ten) plane fell back. Jerry alighted and started looking over the plane. It was a shiny, new thing done in orange with large black stars painted on the wings. "A beauty." Jerry breathed. If only he could own a plane like that. "It's all set for travel," Eaglerock told Jerry. "Stabilizer adjusted," Jerry questioned. "Yep. Everything ship shape." "Still it looks a little too high." Jerry was still standing the stabilizer. "We came down in it adjusted to that height and she sailed like a bird. All she needs is a pilot. Do you think I risk my neck in a plane that wasn't adjusted." The argument carried weight so Jerry stepped into the cock-pit and took his seat at the controls. "Higgins will drive my car back to San Diego for me. You see I need two or three fellows along with me all the time for I cover a lot of ground when I get started. If Jerry thought it strange that Taglerock should have a car and a plane at too Tia Juhae she said nothing. The more he thought of Esther's warning the more legic he saw in it. Then there was the story of the pilot. Jerry would have felt much more secure had he seen the fellows and Higgins had introduced the fellow and he probably was alright but as Jerry thought over everything Higgins had been acting, queerly of late. The take-off was an aerial triumph and Jerry forgot about the stabilizer and his misgivings as they took the air. The earth sank lower and lower as the plane climbed. Tia Juana was soon behind them. They passed over San Diego at a height that made the City look like a group of doll houses spread out in a wide fairy garden. To the left of them the ocean stretched out to kiss he bine of he sky. To their right low peaked mountains stood like purple dwarfed hills. The motor was singing and the old ship was riding air like a thoroughbred. There was no conversation between the two men. Each was busy with his own thoughts. A new plane and Esther shared Jerry's thoughts equally. Eaglerock sat with a satisfied grin on his face. His scheme was working like a charm. Then from out of nowhere a big government border patrol plane burst into view. "Company!" Jerry called his companion's attention to the plane. He glanced back over his shoulder to see Eaglerock's face filled with hate and fear. He too had seen the government plane and into his eye came the look of—a fugitive—a hunted cornered man with all avenues of escape cut EDITOR EXHAUST A. E. L.

WOMAN KILLS HUSBAND Plaquemine, La., Dec. 18. By A.N.

New York, Dec. 18—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today made public a telegram to Sanford Bates, Superintendent of Prisons of the Department of Justice, reiterating its opposition to the boarding of colored federal prisoners in state camps, and requesting the Department of Justice in any future statements it may make on the subject to make his attitude of the Advancement Association clear. The Association's telegram is prompted by a press dispatch emanating from Washington, which states that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people "approves" the Justice Department's policy. The telegram, signed by Walter White, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reads as follows: "Have just read account, today's New York World relative to boarding out of Negro prisoners from Atlanta Federal Penitentiary with Chatham County authorities as well as statement in Baltimore Afro-American of December 14th in which you are indirectly quoted as saying to Afro-American reporter that Arthur Spinarn, Senator Capper, Judge Jayne and I seemed satisfied with report of special investigators. "May I reiterate that position of 'Advancement Association on Chatham County camp is wholly one of suspended judgement pending outcome of negotiations between your department and Chatham County authorities and predicated upon the principle that there shall be no segregation of races or discrimination and relying further upon your assurance that Chatham County Camp is only a temporary expedient and that such boarding out is not to constitute a precedent. The Advancement Association emphatically and unequivocally opposes institution of any general system of boarding out or placing within the control of authorities of any southern state, county, or municipality Negro federal prisoners. "May we respectfully request that in any and all statements given by the Department of Justice, the Association's position be clearly stated and that no statement direct or implied be authorized that Association has given its approval to general policy or to Chatham County arrangement." Arthur B. Spingarn is Vice-President and Senator Arthur Capper and Judge Ira W. Jayne of Detroit, are members of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. AGE 104; HAS 197; DESCENDANTS Bennettsville, S. C., Dec. 18 By A.

LYONS Oklahoma City Oklahoma 10c extra for Purchase Lionel Monagas, Cleo Desmond, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Andrew Bishop, Star In Mighty Drama, "Paid In Full" NEW SHOW SUCCESS CHAPTER FROM EVERY DAY LIFE New Show Coming In Jazz Show Out Page--Eighteen PHIL. G Lionel Monagas, Cleo patrick, Andrew Bisc Drama, "Pa NEW SHOW CHAPTER FROM New Show Coming Again the famous Lafayette Players come to the front with a soul-stirring drama, that sends them all home talking to themselves. Lionel Monagas, Cleo Desmond, Andrew Bishop and Sidney Kirkpatrick take the leading roles in this week's feature and the parts are taken ably. The players seem to improve with each performance. The story is one of those you read about every day in the newspapers, a story that would seem common, but is far from that. It is interesting from start to finish and is a chapter from daily life. Incidentally the play given by these famous players could serve as a mirror in which we could see ourselves and our faults. They are truly wonderful. MONAGAS STARS Lionel Monagas takes the part of Joe Brooks the hard working clerk that deserves a raise and doesn't get it. Brooks is a fellow that has more time to find fault than he does to devote to his work. He married into a rich family and took a girl away from the best to worst. He was not the man he thought he was and he fails to make good his promises to her. She falters a slight bit and complains along with the help of her well meaning mother, who by the way is like all mother-in-laws, they mean no young married couple any good. Cleo Desmond takes the part of the girl that married into a life of enteral work and she takes it in a most noble way. Cleo is Mrs. Joe Brooks. JOE STEALS Joe tires of hearing his wife complaining and his mother-in-law nagging and he becomes weak and steals some of the firm's money. He intends to put it back as they all do, but does not, and is caught. Not only is he a thief, but a coward as well and offers his wife for sale to his employer for his liberty. HARD BUT JUST The man he works for is a hard, man and Brooks has him all figured wrongly. Sidney Kirkpatrick takes the part of Capt. Williams, the hard-boiled captain and the man from whom Brooks stole the money. Mrs. Brooks goes to the Captain's apartment to bargain for her husband's liberty. As stated before the Captain is a hard, but just man and he makes a bargain that will astound you and the way he does it is nothing less than wonderful. If you muiss this play of every day life you miss it all. BLAIN NELL TO HAVE GALA CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS. The Blaine Nell Country club will break out in all sorts of class for the holidays.

ORATORIO SOCIETY Ending a triumphant concert tour of 28 states, John Smallman, famous Los Angeles oratorio conductor, left Chicago yesterday in order to personally conduct the final rehearsal here of the Los Angeles Oratorio Society's forthcoming Bach-Handel productions. The noted conductor, whose concert work has made him one of America's leading oratorio leaders, will direct the society's presentation of Bach's "Christmas Oratorio," on the afternoon of Sunday, December 22, and Handel's "The Messiah," on the following evening. Both productions will be staged at the Shrine Civic Auditorium and will be supported by the Philharmonic Symphony orchestra. In a letter to Mrs. J. T. Anderson, president of the Oratorio Society, Smallman announced himself as highly pleased with the list of prominent artists who are to sing the solo parts in both offerings. He complimented the work and the high type of the ensemble of 250 voices who are to sing the choral parts. Bach's Aratario will be presented complete for the first time in Los Angeles. It is also being given at the same time in New York, Boston and Chicago by choral organizations in those cities, but according to Smallman the Los Angeles presentation is far superior to the other three in point of numbers as well as ability of the several artists. If You Fail To Read-THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened HOLIDAY HEALTH I have before me still many questions that have not been answered and one letter which came all the way from Oklahoma City, Okla. I shall have to postpone the answers for two weeks until the holidays are over. I would especially say to Mrs. E. F. C. "I am glad you wrote, and please be patient until I can give you as clear an answer as is possible." What does the holiday mean to your health? At no other holiday season for many years has this been such an important question to Los Angeles and vicinity. The exceeding dryness of the weather, together with the severe economic strain under which many are laboring has caused the increase of disease and disease tendencies on every hand, and in spite of the fact that many find it hard to believe it, there is a very definite "disease wave" known among medical people as the aftermath of the holidays, and it is with the purpose of decreasing this "disease wave" that we are today considering your "Holiday Health." There are certain inflexible laws which govern health. Inorder to have health in the present and to insure health in the future one must follow fundamental health rules. Health rules may be broken for many weeks or even years without any obvious ill results, but this does not mean that ill results are not even then accruing. Broken laws of health always mean broken health, even tho we are late in paying the bill. Often however great excesses show results in ill health in the immediate present. This is often sadly true of holiday excesses. By the word "excesses" used in the preceding paragraph, we must not think that the writer means only the gravely wrong excesses which are always conceded to be harmful by everyone. The breaking of the more simple laws of health will bring ill health just as truly in as the disregard of the larger laws. In order to know which laws we are not likely to disregard during the holidays, we must refresh our minds as to the fundamental laws which govern our health status. One of the great health laws is the law of rest, or recuperation. The body works and wears out. It must be refreshed and the used up tissues replaced or else it will soon be gone. Thus, first of all we must have sleep. Science says 7 hours sleep are necessary for an adult man and 8 hours to an adult woman—youth and children need more. Who on earth is going to sleep 8 hours on Christmas eve, or New Years eve nights? May be our tiny infants will if we grown ups do not make so much noise that they cannot rest. But outside of the nursery I think few beds will be filled for 8 hours out of the 24 hours during these days. To have less sleep is to cheat nature, when nature is cheated, she will make you pay for it, or kill you in the attempt. What then is a practical thing to do about missed holiday hours of sleep? That is quite an easy question—faithfully and religiously make up every hour of the lost rest. Before the holidays begin catch an extra hour here or an added half hour there. After the holidays are over to bed with the chickens one or two nights until each hour of wasted sleep is replaced. This may seem foolish, but when you realize that sleep is the body's repair time and that when you cut down that repair time you are cutting down the amount of repair work. In other words that you are definitely adding to the amount of unrepaired material or to the worn factors in your body; when you see it from this angle and consider that the more unrepaired elements or worn-out elements which your body has to wag around from day to day, the more quickly it will be ready for the human wreck pile then it does not seem unnecessary to you to replace each and every lost hour of sleep. Next to sleep, we must think of eating. Certain foods constitute a "balanced diet." During the holidays we generally "cat what we want," everywhere we go food of all kinds and character stares us in the face. ENJOY GOOD FOOD BUT WATCH HEALTH LAWS The only question which often limits our eating is the question of the capacity of our "bread basket." But for strength and health nature calls for a "balanced diet." Holidays are here, we want to stay well and we want to have a good time enjoying the good things to eat. What shall we do? In view of themany serious colds, and deepseated coughs that are prevelent at this time it would be well for us to try to honestly enjoy the holiday foods to the fullest possible extent which the demands of health would permit. Try to plan your heavy meal for the mid-day or early afternoon. Choose the kind of sweet food which you like best, eat as much of it as your own experience has taught you that your constitution can stand and then leave the rest for another time or for some one else. Do not eat all day long. Constant "ibbling" is one of the greatest foes to good health. The stomach and other digestive organs are actually worn out by constant work in trying to digest small amounts of food continuously thrown down our mouths. Three meals a day are all any adult stomach can properly digest. More than this, or food taken between meals is an added burden to the entire system and does its share in making the body wear out, get old and ready for the human scrap heap. All food should be eaten slowly and chewed very thoroughly. Large amounts of green foods, spinich, lettuce, mustard greens, celery, etc. should be eaten during the holidays. These are nature's medicines to counteract the mal effects of over doses of sweets and meats. "Holiday Health" will continue next week.

Club Nite will be celebrated during the week in which the Eternal Magdalene" will be presented by the Lafayette Players. Special plans have been made by the fraternity boys to augment the regular show on that night with several specialties to be presented after the regular performance is concluded. Heading the list of entertainers who are co-operating with the Kappa Alpha Psi boys is that dusky charmer, Nina McKinney, famous for her work in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's epic, "Hallelujah." Miss McKinney has obtained permission from the studio to present a song and dance specialty at the Lincoln on that date, and her appearance will without doubt prove a great drawing card.

STARS OF MONMARTE CAFE Several stars of the Monparne Cafe in Hollywood were there. Among them was Henry Starr of Radio fame and of the famous movie star's cafe, Mr. Starr is one of the best known artists in the musical world today and he seems to be going ahead by leaps and bounds. Henry, as he wants to be known is starring at the famous Movieland Cafe with Paul Howard and his Blackbirds. Paul Howard is noted all over the Pacific Coast for the music his band turns out. The boys are supposed to be so good they even rival Curtis Mossby and his group of Blue Blowers. STARR SINGS OLD FAVORITE By special request, Henry迪该 that well liked old hit, "Some Day Sweet-heart," and did he bring down the house? Now ask me another. All the numbers Starr do are rearranged with his special composition. Starr is a composer of some note himself and he goes in all numbers, not one, but all. It is hard to choose between his piano playing and his singing. The boy is a star and no less.

Embree is president. This report which was made to the| board of Trustees of the Fund and re- leased to the public Monday morning shows that the scope of the work of the organization including privately operated colleges and universities, and hospitals have been aided. For a number of years the Rosen- wald Fund has been chiefly interested in the development of schools in the rural south but at the present time the program includes the development of hospitals, colleges, trade schools and other agencies working for the general advancement of the group in all sect- ions of the country. The report points out that “during the year 1928-29 the Fund co-operated in building 326 rural elementary and high schools, 36 shops for vocational training and 13 homes for teachers | and in schools already built, 78 addit- ional rooms were constructed. This brings the total of modern schools, shops and teachers’ homes aided by the Fund to 4,729, located in 818 counties of fourteen southern states. The sums given from the Fund for construction of these schools during the past year amounted to $326,450. For the same schools contributions from ‘Negroes were $306,909; white citizens, $101,113; and public funds $2,140,386.” Through these 4,729 schools, 12,594 teachers are~ employed and 566,730 \Negro; boys and girls are afforded an opportunity to receive an education. Each year finds an increase in the number of students and better trained teachers. Special emphasis was placed in backward counties. “On July 1, 1928,” the report points out, “there were 198 counties in fourteen southern states which had a Negro populaion of over five per cent, and in which there were no rural schools of modern type. In order to stimulate building in these counties the fund has offered to con- tribute one and one-half times the re- gular allotment to the first Rosenwald school constructed in any of these counties. As a result of this offer forty such counties completed modern schools during the fiscal year 1928- To help Negro youths attain train- ing in the arts and sciences as well as in vocational work, the Fund, during the past year aided many private and state institutions, thus joining hands , with other boards and individuals in |helping to equip and maintain these | colleges at an adequate level. The | state schools to receive aid were those located in Alabama, Arkansas, and | Florida. ‘| Private institutions that were help- ed by the Fund during the past year were: Lincoln University, Pennsylvan- ia, Howard University, Fisk University ‘Atlanta University, Bennett College Morehouse Merman, St. Augustines Talladega, and Wiley Colleges, and the newly founded Dillard University ix New Orleans, La. | Realizing that if colleges are to d¢ | effective work the faculty must be | composed of the highest trained in | dividuals, many fellowships have beer | granted ‘suring the past year and. te | sapite the saeco reer fetes -| ence books, the Fund has helpéd man} || institutions to! acquire adequate lib raries. : : -| Working upon the well-known fac :| that “germs know no color fine” the 1| Fund has dong much during the pas year to improve the health of Negroes Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—Yoitt May Never Know It Happened [aera a. ; J Ps | g * ‘.

In. this connection, according to the report of President Embree, approp- riations have been made to enable col- ored public health nurses to be ap- pointed in a total of sixteen counties in Arkansas, Tennessee, North Coro- ina, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and gifts were made to Mercy Hospital in Philadelphia; St. Agnes Hospital, af- filiated with St. Augustine College, Raleigh, N. C., Richardson_memorial Hospital in Greensboro, N. C., and the Charity Hospital in Savannah. The sum of $30,000 was appropriated to- ward the expenses of a comprehensive study to be made by the Tennessee Department of Health of Negro sick- ness and health and hospital facilities in that state." A new field entirely was entered in- to during the past year, namely that of housing. Mr. Rosenwald personally provided the capital for the erection ‘of one of the most modern apartment buildings in the City of Chicago, which is now occupied by Negroes. Located in the heart of the Southside, the Michigan Gardens Building has done much to afford Negroes adequate living quarters under modern condi- tions. “The purpose is to demon- state that good modern accommod- ations can be furnished Negroes at prices which they can afford and will be willing to pay and that this can be done with a business return on the capital invested.” The report praises the progress which the Negro has made in Ameri- ca and the contribution the race has made to the advancement of _ the country.

GROCERY and MEAT M n Avenue At 556 MEAT MARKET At 55th Street The following special from the Chicago Defender News Service upholds the fact that our own Paul Williams was made Chairman of the Committee on Sites and Plans for the Memorial Commission which met last week in Washington D. C. LEADERS TALK WITH PRESIDENT HOOVER ON MEMORIAL Need 2,000,000 is Needed for Building (Chicago Defender Press Service) Washington, D. C., December 15.—The National Memorial Commission, which was recently appointed by President Hoover at the President's request, met with him at the White House on Thursday and discussed plans for the erection of a National Memorial building as a tribute to the Race's contributions to America and achievements along all lines. Plans for the erection of the building call for more than $2,000,000, a sum to be raised by voluntary contributions and, if possible, through such as available in the United States treasury remaining from the Freedman's Savings Bank and Trust company. The commissioners present were: Fredinand D. Lee and Dr. John R. Hawkins of the District of Columbia, Rev. J. R. Ransom of Topeka, Kan.; Paul R. Williams of Los Angeles, California; Mrs. Mary McLoeBethune Daytona Beach, Fla.; Rev. H. C. Weeden of Louisville, Ky.; William Gaston Pearson, of Durham, N. C.; Judge William C. Hueston of Garey, Ind.; and Attorney Webster L. Porter of Knoxville, Tenn. The other two commissioners, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington and Rev. L. K. Williams of Cicagoo, were unable to be present. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant III, director of public buildings and public parks of the national capital; James A. Wetmore, supervising architect of the treasury, and David Lynn, architect of the treasury, all ex-officio members of the commission, were present. Hon. Chas. Moore, chairman of the national fine arts commission, also met with the commission. Mr. Lee, Judge Hueston, Mrs. Behune and Dr. Hawkins spoke with reference to the funds of the Freedman's Savings Bank and Trust company of the period of reconstruction after the Civil War, approximately $2,000,000 of which is still in the United States treasury, as being made available by proper legislation for the use of the commission in carrying out its object. The president promised the commission his support. At a meeting immediately after the conference with the president in the office of the national capital, park and planning commission in the navy building the commissioned named as its officers, Fredinand D. Lee, chairman; William C. Hueston, vice-chairman, and John R. Hawkins, treasurer; Samuel C. Smith of Washington was selected as executive secretary of the commission. Paul R. Williams was named chairman of a committee on sites and plans; Webster L. Porter, chairman of a committee on legislation and John R. awkins, chairman of a committee on ways an dmeans. Banquet for Commissioners On Thursday night the local supporters of the memorial project held a banquet in honor of the commissioners in the dining hall of Howard University. On Friday night a public meeting was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, the principal speakers being, Bishop William F. McDowell, Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Ohio, Congressman Maurice H. Thatcher of Kentucky and Rev. R. C. Henderson of Chicago. Rev. C. L. Russell presided and Fredinand D. Lee was master of ceremonies. Musical numbers were furnished by the United States marine band and the glee club of Howard University. "It is proposed that the building contain a hall of fame, art and music rooms, a large library, reading rooms representing the various states, a museum and space for statues and tablets which are proposed to perpetuate the deeds of the American Colored man wrought for the perpetuation and advancement of the nation. It is also proposed that the building have an auditorium seating about 4,000 persons, and committee roooms. It is also proposed that we should have a department of research for the collection and dissemination of information of our race. The building erected in this manner would be very useful as well as reverential, thus meeting the monument-building ideas of the age." Dr. Hawkins told the commissioners. RENE-CARTER NUPTIALS RENE-CARTER NUPTIALS (By W. MATT SOLOMON) Co-incident with the Yuletide was the occasion of the wedding ceremony of Miss Margaret Howland Carter, second daughter of Rev. and Mrs. William Richard Carter, to Mr. Otis Joseph Rene, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Rene, of Pasadena, Calif., was solemnized Thursday evening, the 12th inst., with Rev. W. R. Carter, the bride's father officiating in the home of the bride, 2413 Juliet street, Los Angeles, Calif. An especially interesting feature of the ceremony being the violin rendition by Barto Duncan, "Salute Amore;" and a vocal solo by William Stoard, "All for You," following which Mrs. Luvenia Harper Patterson impressively rendered Lohneng and Meldosohn's wedding march. Miss Meredith Carter assisted her sister as maid of honor while Mr. Jeff Moore, served as best man. The cainty bride was charming in a gown of egg-shell satin, and alecone lace, tule bridal veil trimmed with lace and orange blossoms and she carried an arm shower of white roses and lilies of the valley. The bride's maid was charming in a pink chiffon. Mrs. W. R. Carter wore a black velvet and lace, the grand mother quite attractive in black satin, with cream lace. The bride, descendant of William Still of underground railroad fame, is a graduate from L. A. High school, having taken a special course in secretarial work at California Commercial College, where she qualified for down town work for three years, while Mr. Rene, whose lineage is among the finest of New Orleans, is a very progressive business man of Los Angeles, in partnership with his cousin, Sam Baumann, own and operate one of the most up-to-date drug stores in the city, claims Chicago University as his alma mater. Dr. and Mrs. Carter are formerly of Topeka, Kansas, where for 18 years he was principal of what was then the Topeka Industrial Institute, but now known as Kansas Vocational school. He was ably assisted by his accomplished wife, a former school teacher in making this school one of the formost of its kind in the country. Mr. Rene, Sr., is known throughout Southern California for his ability as a contractor. Many letters and telegrams from friends who could not attend the ceremony were in evidence as was a cablegram from the uncle of Mrs. Rene, who is Counsel to Callia, France. After the reception, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Rene left for a brief honey-moon in San Diego and Ague Caliente after which they will be at home to their many friends on 1120 1-2 East 49th street. The elaborate home decorations blended most harmoniously with the costumes worn. Mrs. Stella Turner served as cateress. N. A. A. C. P. DIRECTORS TELEGRAPH HOOVER ON HAITI N. A. A. C. P. DIRECTORS TELEGRAPH HOOVER ON HAITI New York, Dec. 18—A telegram from the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has been sent to President Hoover, asking that in any Commission appointed to investigate the condition of Haiti, Negroes be represented. The telegram condemns the conduct of the American Occupation saying "We have not succeeded in making the Haitian people satisfied, happy or prosperous, and we have not any degree apparently restored democratic home rule or justified to the world a policy of high-handed force. The telegram to the President, signed by Mary White Ovington, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Advancement Association, and by Walter White, Acting Secretary, is as follows: "The Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People commends the request of the President of the United States for a commission to investigate conditions in Haiti. The United States has been in that unhappy Island fourteen years. We seized an independent country which had achieved freedom after the most terrible degradation at the hands of slave owners. We have not succeeded in making the Haitian people satisfied, happy or prosperous, and we have not in any degree apparently restored democratic home rule or justified to the world a policy of high-handed force. "That something is radically wrong either with our methods or with the entire enterprise, is manifest. A commission of inquiry is needed. But this association hardly needs to point out to the President how much depends on the kind of Commission which is appointed. It would not be difficult to get men who would white-wash our mistakes and justify any international crime in the name of patriotism and our divine mission to interfere with and rule smaller and weaker American nations. "What is needed in this case is a Commission of such character and experience that it will seek the truth, get the facts, and not be afraid to tell all it finds."

Princess Bell at the console of the mammoth Wuritzer will peal off the chimes of blessed Yuletide while the voices of the famous Lafayette Players will echo in sweet murmuring strains an offering of Christmas Carols. Strangely yet sincerely the Lincoln Theater will be the abode of this happy event through whose portals the joy of Christmas Day will be ushered into the life of almost two thousand kiddies. The theater is expected to be filled to the bulging point with a multitude of kiddies and their grown-up escorts who will have come to celebrate "the day of days" as the guests of their "big brothers" the local chapter of the Elks and the Benjamin J. Bowie Post of the American Legion, assisted by religious and other civic organizations. It will be a fitting setting for the day which these organizations have set aside to gladden the hearts of hundreds of kiddies with a community Christmas tree an da real Santa Claus to give to all the good little boys and girls many beautiful presents and a gracious plenty of "the goodies of life" in candies and ice cream. The Elks and the Legion have procured a thousand toys and have crammed full as many stockings with fruits and sweets while hundreds of other good people have contributed many useful and appropriate presents to be given free to all the kidies from the stage by a real Santa Claus. The Globe Ice Cream Co., who operate hundreds of Green Lantern Fountains in the city is donating to the Legion for the kiddies 1500 individual bricks of ice cream. The famous Lafayette Players will render a special Christmas matinee sketch commemorating the Merry Christmas season as well as the rendition of several other appropriate and worth while features. All of this and more will be given to you absolutely free at noon on Christmas Day in celebration of the community Christmas Tree sponsored by the Elks and the Benjamin J. Bowie Post of the American Legion through the generosity of the Lincoln Theater and the famous Lafayette Players. Please comel and bring yours and all the other kiddies in the neighborhood. NEW POST ORGANIZED Under the supervision of County Comander C. C. McGonigal and the Commander of the 19th District, anew Post was organized with Black Americans in the city of Watts. Dr. King was installed as acting Commander while the Maywood Drum and Bugle Corps of 20 members of Benjamin J. Bowie Post participated. He's So Dumb He Thinks— General Science is an army general.

THE SHIP IS AT THE PORT. BAY WATER Greetings Of The Season Page—Six N. A. A. C. P. Benefit Brilliant Success Net Proceeds To Be About $2600 New York, Dec. 18—Brilliant success attended the benefit concert given for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Forrest Theater last Sunday night. All but a small number of orchestra seats were sold out and the net proceeds of the affair are expected to amount approximately to $2600. To date the National Office has received $3378 with about $125 for tickets still to come in. The total expenses aside from the $500 for rental of the theater amounted to $400. The Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. at its last regular meeting passed a resolution expressing its profound thanks to all those who were concerned in organizing the benefit, particularly the Committee of one hundred women. "Besides materially aiding the National Office financially," says the Board's resolution, "the event was one of value in interracial understanding, from the biracial character both of the performers and of the audience." Owing to the wit and tact of Heywood Broun, the Master of Ceremonies, who occasionally helped move the piano on the stage, much to the amusement of the audience, and to the expert stage management of George Oberland of the Radio-Keith-Orpheum Circuit, who volunteered his services, the performance moved without a single delay or hitch of any kind. The performers who appeared on the program are as follows: Duke Elfington and his Cotton Club Orchestra and the entire Cotton Club Floor Show; Bobby Arnst, singer, accompanied by Johnny Green; Margaret Wycherley i na specially written playlet, "A Lady Waits"; Charles Butterworth of the cast of "Sweet Adeline"; Clifton Webb, of "The Little Show"; the Dixie Singers; Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon, Alberta Hunter; Clara Smith, Albert Carroll who impersonated Beatrice Lillie; John Barrymore and Mayor Walker; Edward J. McNamara, tenor, of the cast of "Strictly Dishonorable;" Libby Holman of "The Little Show"; Baby Cox, Edith Wilson and Florence Parham of "Hot Chocolates"; Helen Morgan, star of "Applause" and "Sweet Adeline"; Durante, Clayton, and Jackson and their own orchestra; Daniel L. Haynes star of "Hallelujah" and the Utica Jubilee Singers.

COMMENDS D TROIT MINISTER WHO R SIGNED IN PROTEST A IIM CROW New York, Dec. 18—Congratulation and praise have been telegraphed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to Rev. Adelbert J. Helm, of Detroit, who resigned as pastor of the Bethel Evangelical Church, and Orville Brumer who resigned as Director of Education; in protest against the barring of Negroes from church membership. The telegram sent by Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. reads as follows: "I have just read your letter of resignation as pastor of the Bethel Evangelical Church in protest against the exclusion from membership of two Negroes. It is impossible for me adequately to express my admiration for your courageous deed. Few men, in the Christian Church, placed in your position, would have dared place ideals principles and high ethical standards above expediency. It is the church, whose Christianity cannot surmount the color line, who will be the loser. You have proved that you believe the Christianity which you preach, which sadly is true of but few in the christian Church. May your act serve as example and inspiration to others that they too may have the courage to combat vicious race prejudice." PASADENA (By CARL ECHOLS) Randolph A. M. E. Zion—Rev. L.

The Civic League of Los Angeles is a newly organized club functioning with the purpose of bettering the social, economic, and political status of the Negroes.

We attended the meeting Sunday held at the Y. M. C. A., and enjoyed the splendid program rendered. Attorney Willis O. Tyler gave a very timely talk. To those interested in timely topics, we wish to announce that every Tuesday evening at 7:30 an open forum is conducted by Dr. Roman. The meeting is held in the McKinley High school building, located on South Oak Knoll avenue. The public is invited; there are no charges. We hope that more of the colored citizens will attend these meetings.

CLUDE HUDSON RE-ELECTED TO HEAD N.A.A.C.P. P. R. DR. H. CLAUDE HUDSON Dr. H. Claude Hudson was unani- amosley re-elected as president of the local N. A. A. C. P. at its annual election on last Sunday. The prevailing sentiment was such that no other person could be prevailed upon to seek this high honor of guiding the destiny of this, our greatest defensive as well as offensive organization. The man of the hour was Claude H. Hudson. The organization under his leadership has wrought wonders in an organized effort for the things which it stands for. Dr. Hudson has ever been on the job and to the very forefront in leadership. He has not been the sort of leader who would stand back and issue the command, "Go on boys" but on the contrary he is known to get in the forefront and issue the command "Come on boys." Resourceful and always with an mously re-elected as president of the open mind he has, striven to serve the people of this community to such an extent that his efforts have been the cause of a steady and lasting progress for the great organization of which he is the leader. Criticism only caused him to go forward and with dazzling results silence his critics forever more. Therefore with unselfish devotion and willing sacrifice his efforts to do the things worth while have been an inspiration to the great masses and they never fail to rally to his standard as evidenced in his unanimous election for the fourth consecutive term. LEWIS K. BEEKS At this time of the year when we are all enjoying personal gifts and rejoicing over our health and prosperity, we believe that we have a gift to our Race that should also be rejoiced over, that is why we now bring to your attention, at this time, the rapid and successful rise of Attorney Lewis K. Beeks of whom the entire Race should be proud. Lewis K. Beeks is a young man, who can safely be identified as being an example to the younger generation, a young man who has made the "old sages" smile and renew their faith in this age of "Flaming Youth." Mr. Beeks is a graduate of Howard University in Washington, D. C. He holds the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Law. (A. B., L.L. B.) Born and reared in Los Angeles, the son of Mr. John K. Beeks, it is a credit to the State of California to claim him as her own. We first remember Mr. Beeks back in 1923, located at 842 Central Avenue, and as a race, we were not as sympathetic and encouraging to our aspiring young lawyers as we are now. I am sure Mr. Beeks spent a few very discouraging hours in that little office, to say the least, but by gift and determination he has won out. Located now in the Elks Building at Washington and Central Avenue, he now occupies a suite of offices that would be a credit to any attorney in Los Angeles. With two efficient Stenographers, Mr. Beeks is able to serve from forty to fifty clients a day, with an average of from ten to fifteen court cases a week. It is an inspiration to enter his offices, because they show what honesty, hard work and good character will achieve. Unassuming and very modest, Mr. Beeks will never talk of himself or his work, however, coming in contact with him, one cannot help but think of "A City that sittieh on a hill." By efficiency, he has built up a practice that we feel confident will be a lasting one, because of his ability as a lawyer and his splendid character. One of the greatest tributes I have heard given him was from a fellow-lawyer; he said in part, "the only trouble with Beeks is that he does not charge enough for his legal fees." Our old people love him because he gives them and their difficulties the best he has to give, whether it be legal advice or comfort to mind and body. Our young people love him, not only because he has their confidence and respect, but because he is one of them. Lewis K. Beeks will always be young. Like many of our Race Attorneys he has met some very perplexing problems and trying situations, but he has always been able to meet each issue with that unassuming determination of his which always wins. He has made clients' that are satisfied, clients that are loyal, clients that are true. Mr. Beeks is a member of the Legal Staff of the Pacific Coast Building and Loan Association a six million dollar co-operation, (White) and a member of the Legal Committee of the Local Branch of the N. A. A. C. P.; general counsel for the U. B. F. and S. M. T., and the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. His religious connections are with the Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, while his fraternal affiliations are with the U. B. F. and Knights and Daughters of Tabor; The Masons, and Daughters of Pythias. Nebraska Publisher Joins Eagle Staff Nebraska Publisher Joins Eagle Staff Mr. Geo. H. W. Bullock, for nine years associate publisher of the Omaha Monitor of Omaha, Nebraska, and for the past year sole Editor and publisher of that weekly, in now associated on the staff of the California Eagle in the advertising department. Mr. Bullock comes to the Eagle with a thorough background of experience and education. In addition to his capacity as associate Editor, he was business and advertising manager of the Omaha Monitor. He is a College graduate holding the degree of (A. B.) from Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, and prepared for the ministry in the Episcopal Seminary in New York City. He served 18 months as Y, M, C. A. Executive in the World War, and one year as Executive Director of what is now the American Playground Association, in which Capacity he was stationed in Omaha. He comes to Los Angeles to make his home, having moved his family here over a year ago. He comes to the Eagle highly recommended and desires that this will serve as an introduction to the Clientele of this paper and the people of this City. Funeral Home. Trial Of Col. Duncan Completed; Sentence Deferred Chicago, Dec. 18 By A.N.P.-Trial of Col. Otis E. Duncan, former commanding officer of the Eighth Infantry, Illinois National Guard, before Judge James H. Wilkerson in the Federal Court on charges of defrauding the United States government, was concluded here Tuesday afternoon after the introduction of evidence in mitigation by his attorneys, Edward H. Wright, former state commerce commissioner, and State Senator Adolph Marks. The imposition of a sentence was deferred by Judge Wilkerson to January 7. The Government charges at the opening of the trial were read to the court by Mayor Cassius Poust, Assist United States District Attorney. They described in some detail, speculations covering a period of five years, from 1924 to 1928. The complete sum of money involved was $1,496.44. It was claimed that Duncan had caused checks from the United States treasury in amounts totalling the above sum to be issued to certain individuals in payment for travel rations for the regiment and that the individuals for whom the checks were issued denied receiving them, signing the checks, or issuing any rations. The court was further informed that the names of these individuals, one William Crawford, found later to be Frank Crawford, proprietor of a restaurant close to the regimental armory, and Mrs. Elizabeth Barnett, owner of the New Vincennes Hotel, had been forged to the checks and the checks deposited in the Binga State Bank, endorsed by Duncan and in his account. In 1928, it was explained, Duncan had signed Mrs. Barnett's name to check for $284, placed $100 of the amount in his account and carried away in his pocket $184. Major Poust informed the court that he had forty witnesses prepared, to testify as to the truth of he charges made. However he procedure adopted by the defense counsel relieved the government of the necessity of producing any witnesses. Speaking for the defense, Eenator Adolph Marks entered a plea of nole contendere, with the understanding that the court, under such a plea would have the power to either find the defendant guilty or to discharge him. But the court demurred from any such construction of that plea as revealed in a number of precedents and held that the plea of nolo contendere amounted in substance to a plea of guilty which rendered he court powerless to discharge the defendant. Wright then entered the controversy as to procedure with the statement that the defense did not wish to contend as to the truth of the material allegations contained in the indictment, but that under the nolo contendere plea they were entitled to introduce evidence in mitigation or explanation of the facts alleged. The court agreed with this view. It then became apparent that the plan of the defense was to refuse to dispute the facts as alleged by the government; to introduce evidence in mitigation or explanation of the facts, and thus to persuade the court that a light penalty should be imposed. The maximum penalty for the offense is ten years' imprisonment in a federal penitentiary, a $10,000 fine, or both. The defense, it was said, hoped through their plea to save their client from a prison sentence and open up the possibility of a light fine or probation. Navy Co-operates With N.A.A.C.P. To Stop Attacks by Sailors New York, Dec. 18.—Crews of 18 United States war vessels have been inspected by N. A. A. C. P. representatives, with the co-operation of the Navy officers, in an effort to identify sailors who attacked and beat two colored men in the New York subway recently. As a result of this inspection, one man has been positively identified as having committed the attack and a naval Board of inquiry is to be appointed. William T. Andrews, Special Legal Assistant of the N. A. A. C. P. accompanied Carol Clark, one of the attack victims, to the Navy Yard in Brooklyn on Saturday morning, Dec. 7. They were informed by Captain Ganoa, of the battleship Wyoming, that all the men on the ships under the command of fAdmiral Cole, would be lined up for inspection. Mr. Andrews reports: "We examined the sailors on board the flagship Wyoming and the following battleships: Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Richmond and Arkansas; destroyer motherships Bushnell and Dobin; and the following destroyers. Barry, Goff, Gilmore, Wilkinson, Hopkins, Kane, Bainbridge, Lawrence, Sands and Humphreys as well as the "beefship" Bridge. This inspection lasted from about nine-thirty until three-thirty and between four and five thousand men were looked at." Mr. Andrews reports that excellent co-operation was received from all navy officers, with one exception and that Commander Shafroth assembled his staff on board the battleship Arkansas and had them addressed by the N. A. A. C. P. representative, himself announcing that if any man were found guilty of such an attack as the one complained of, he would procure dismissal of the man, as he intended to put a stop to this "foolishness." The Commander spoke to the men in each division, telling them plainly that no such actions would be countenanced in future. One man on board the Arkansas was positively identified by Mr. Clark. The N. A. A. C. P. protested to the Navy Department last spring about attacks on Negroes by sailors on shore leave in New York, and Messrs. Johnson and White complained in person to Admiral L. R. De Steigeur, Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The attacks, stopped at that time have apparently recommenced and the N. A. A. C. P. is determined to make an example of some of the offending sailors. Governor and Legislators Praise Tennessee College Na hville, Tenn., Dec. 18 By A.N.P. Governor Horton and members of the Tennessee State Legislature were the guests of the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State College Thursday and took the occasion to pay a glowing tribute to the work of the institution in promoting the progress of Negroes in he State. The governor and the legislators inspected the plant and the work of the college and attended a luncheon prepared by the Home Economic Division of the college. Every phase of the work was gone into with much care and the buildings and grounds thoroughly inspected. Following the inspection Governor Horton, as spokesman for the group, paid high tribute to the progress of the institution under the administration of Presiden William J. Hale, and in referring to the graduates and the manner in which they had entered into the life of their respective communities declared: "Graduates of the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State College understand their relationship to the state and to society and thus work efficiently in this and other states." The college under the administration of President Hale has grown steadfastly and rapidly and i stoday rated as one of the foremost institution for Negroes in the South. Dr. Hale has assembled one of the most highly trained faculties in the country and the work of the institution has not only attracted the attention of local educators but of the entire country.
