1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 Politician Commits Suicide VOLUME 42 - ON THE SIDEWALK By C. A. B. WE ARE PUBLISHING in this Column a statistical record as compiled by Tuskegee of the country's contribution to lawlessness in the way of lynching for the year of 1929, and as we pray for greater blessings in the year 1930, we include in our supplication a desire that our nation may become more Christian, and soon we will not be called upon to publish a lynching record of either black or white men: "There were 27 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. 3 of these were in Northern states and 24 in Southern states. In 24 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 3 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. 12 white men, 2 Negro men and 2 Negro women were thus saved from death at the hands of mobs. Of the 10 persons lynched, 7 were Negroes and 3 were whites. The offences charged were: rape, 3; writing insulting notes, 2; murder, 1; wounding man in altercation, 1; wounding officers of the law, 2; charge not reported, 1. "The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Florida, 4; Kentucky, 1; Mississippi, 1; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 3." A WRITER IN another column of this paper has called our attention to the fact that the comparatively few Philippines living in the city of Los Angeles, in their third annual convention, last week, in the way of making a demonstration demanded and received greater recognition than the 65 thousand Negroes of this city have ever had. The Philippines held their sessions in one of the leading uptown hotels and marched through the main thoroughfares of the city "neath tri-colored banners and gaily be-decked streets; silently demanding that the group of Islands known as the Philippines be given full freedom. UNTIL THE NEGRO sets a premium on time and learns that order is not only the first law of heaven but also of earth, that he must stop getting fixed and be ready to stage his show when the curtain is lifted; and that his big job is to build instead of tear down his fellow man, then and not until then will he cease to be the target at which all other races hurt their prejudices. Little acts of kindness, Little bits of mercy, Makes a good investment; In a human being. TWO AND A HALF year old Charles Prediger wants a home and parents to love and care for him. Charles put in his appearance Monday at the Probation Dept, and his gase was brought to the attention of Mrs. Juanita Edwards who called this office and appealed for assistance in finding a home for little Charles, to which we readily consented, asking, however, that the person or persons responsible for the little boy bring him out. About one hour after said telephone conversation, there appeared at this office a young white woman and man—a few years, I imagine, the woman's senior—carting a cute little fondling, whose big, somewhat weary black eyes, even though they had gazed but two and a half years on the restless tide of humanity, seemed to say: "I am so tired, let me rest and be at ease." When I questioned the woman and man who claimed to be Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Briggs of this city as to the parentage of the little boy, Mrs. Briggs claimed that he was her sister's child, whose husband supposedly white was found to be colored when the child was born, hence the child had been deserted by both parents and subsequently left on her hands. The little boy clung to the woman with the same tenderness that a child clings to a mother, and when I called her attention to this she said that she also was fond of the child but where she lived, the landlord had ordered that the colored child be removed from the premises. Charles appears to be a fine little fellow, deserving of a home and parental care, and anyone desiring to make a real New Years investment in a human being may do so by calling VApdike 9244. LOOKS HOPEFUL One o if the first and outstanding examples of a better understanding within the race, is the attitude of the membership of the First Harlem S. D.

Knowles, formerly United States Minister to the Dominican Republic oceans in speaking of the recent uprising in Haiti, that the trouble is not due to the American people or congress, but stated that "underlings, the easily handled men of the State Department whom the capitalists can reach when they want them, and the Navy Department where they can satisfy their ambitions with new outposts which mean more ships to guard them, more men to man the ships, more officers to command them, hence more Admirals." He said, "The National City Bank, through one of its vice presidents, Roger L. Farnham, got Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, the assistant secretary of the Navy, to write a change in the constitution of Haiti which had not permitted foreigners to own land and got him to send Admiral Caperton down there with marines or put the change into the Constitution.

Gilbert Allen, young musician and a student of the University of California at Los Angeles, with his friendly personality and versatile musicianship, has pioneered into various student activities. The success of the "Song Day" tradition, which is the most popular one, is due to the efforts of the student directors or leaders, who direct the singing of the University songs in all classes, convening on Wednesday, the "Song Day."

He has been successful as a director of his fellow classmates, he has received the praise of various faculty members, and students for his high caliber of musical results and directing ability. His past success has made it possible for him to direct this year in larger classes, and the students that sing under his baton number two hundred.

PORTER MAKES HISTORY By Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth When Mayor Porter, the Police commissioner and the new chief of Police, Roy E. Steckel announced on December 31, 1929 that Los Angeles would have in the future, uniform law enforcement and officers who themselves respected and obeyed the laws they sought to enforce, a new chapter in American municipal history was written. If Mayor Porter does nothing else than to carry out this program, his administration will mark an epoch in our governmental history. Can it be that police officials are to be as exemplary in their private lives and activities as is expected of the "prisoners at the bar"? Can it be that the Hollywood Nite clubs are to be compelled to walk the same straight and narrow path now being so joyously tread by the Apex Nite club? Can it be that those of "economic importance" are to face the same judge, on the same terms for the same state of affairs, in need of those of "no economic importance"? My how invigorating is the atmosphere on the mountain top! May God's blessings rest ever on John C. Porter, as he strives to be mayor of every citizen in Los Angeles. APEX NITE CLUB CLOSES THE OLD YEAR IN STYLE FITTING TO GREATEST SHOW IN AMERICA GREAT CROWD, LIGHTS, NOSIE AND WONDERFUL SHOW BRINGS THE NEW YEAR IN AT CURTIS MOSBY'S FAMOUS CAFE; BLUES BLOWERS AT THEIR BEST The last night of Nineteen Hundred there and I mean she was there. She and Twenty-nine was spent in a most fitting way at the famous Apex Nite Club. The new year was brought in in a blaze of lights, noise and a wonderful show. The last show given by the Apex stars in 1929 was finished just as the clock struck the hour of 12 and the new year was well upon the night roers. Lights of all colors and descriptions were blazing in the Apex Beautiful. A wonderful crowd enjoyed the genial hospitality of Curtis Mosby the king of night clubs. Everybody was happy and things went just as New Year's Eve should go. Reservations were not to be had after 11:30, and any that had neglected to get their table in advance were out in the cold as far as a good time on the biggest night in the year at any night club. STARS THERE Stars of the stage and screen were there in numbers. It was worth the price of the show alone to see the glittering stars of the movie city and the stage stars from down town. I could go on writing forever on what happened New Year's Eve, but we must jump to Wednesday night, the first night of the New Year. WONDERFUL SHOW WONDER ULE SHOW The show being shown during the holidays was most fitting. Mosby offered something that is very seldom found in a nite club and that was a real Christmas Program. The show ending next week was a Christmas and New Year's show from beginning to end. In the first show a wonderful program of the Yuletide season was given with Eddie Anderson of the team of Anderson and Jones doing the starring. Ivy Anderson sang Holy Night and did that little brown-skinned doll sing that song? Now ask me another one. I can't answer that, you should have been there to hear her yourself. Gus Jones was a scream as usual. And the part Eddie Anderson was simply great and no less. Rutledge and Taylor burned the boards right on up for Mosby's guests. These two boys are formerly of the Cotton Club and they are big league stuff and no less. Mary Richaros brought down the house with her toe dance. Little Miss Mary is in a class all by herself. Curtis's new black face singer was On Sunday and the 5th and 6th, we are Boyd and Mary Asian Knights" and C of the Northwoods.

She sang, "How Can I Get It If you Keep On Snatching It Away?" Now you know just what tint was from the name of the song. The next time you are down to the club ask for that on a request number and you will enjoy every line of it. The Drinard Trio closed the show and they are some hoofers themselves. Most of the stars were out the night before and consequently the professional special show suffered. Nevertheless Miss C. Snowden of Cotton club fame was there in a most gorgeous gown of black and white that fitted her as if she had been poured into it. Miss Snowden did a number and it was almost an impossibility for her to get back to her seat. I wonder was it because of the number or because they liked to see her stand out there in the wonderful gown. I know the above stated is my reason and no more. She wa sout of this world and part of the next. TEAM FROM UP TOWN A white team from up town was all there. The dancing bus boy did his stuff with a tray of dishes and the headman in the kitchen had his heart in his mouth all the time while the kid was tapping them off. Sugarfoot Brown and his partner Smiles did their stuff in a closing number on the Pro Night.

FOR SALE New 7-Room Stucco Has three bed-roms, double garage and large lot. $650 down. $48.50 per month. No mortgage or street assessment against this property Les Kennedy, the Long Beach boy that is going ahead in this fight game, at quite a fast clip added another victim to his list Tuesday night when he took Jack DeMave the Hollander down the line in ten rounds. The fight wasn't much to talk about. Kennedy had a edge all the way and he dropped the blond boy once for a count, that almost made him stay down for good. The knock down came in the second round and it was for a nine count. NO CLASS TO FIGHT There was no class to the fight at all. Les had too big of an edge on the kid from across the big-bond and did him just as he pleased and a little more to shoot. The only thing DeMave showed was an occasional uprising coming out of THE BROOKLYN PRESS "LETS GIVE THE OLD BOY A XMAS" Dixie Kid Ex-Wetterweight champion of the world famous during the days of Joe Wattott who mhe defeated.

MILLER BEATS HERNANDEZ In the semi-windup Benny Miller knocked out Leo Hernanez in the first round. Leo ran into rights coming and going and Benny just let him have them and no less. Leo was game and he came up for more after having gone down once, but he couldn't stand the gaff and the third man in the ring stepped in and stopped the bout. SLIVER WINS Jack Sliver one time top-notcher on the Pacific Coast in the lightweight classes fought Zenayad Chavez to a six-round draw in the special. Sliver at one time was one of the most feared men on the coast in his class and now he is fighting opening bouts and glad to get them. That just goes to show you, take care of the old Do Re Me when you have it. Milford Burgland beat Tommy Huffman in four rounds. Burgland had his man on the floor for the count twice in the first and second rounds, but couldn't get up enough stuff to put him away for good. Dewey Massey won from Walter Hoffman in the other four rounder. BATTLE ROYAL GOOD BATTLE ROYAL GOOD The Battle Royal was the real punch on the card. Five black boys were turned a-loose together in the ring an those boys really gave the cash customers a go for their money. Ted Frenchie or heavyweight fame was in the battle and Ted stayed with the best of them and fought to a draw with Cecil Jordon. Ted played wise and his ring experience came in plenty handy. He fooled those young boys a-plenty. He faked until he got upon them and he cut a-loose with a terrible right hand to the darry and that was all there to it. Frenchie and Jordon fought it out and the referee called it a draw.

Central Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. "Harlem Scandals," mostly scandals and very little Harlem, that is the way this writer would describe the current Revue at the Lincoln Theatre. We had the pleasure to review the show on New Year's Eve, with all the extras attached to it. The show goers of the Avenue have seen every kind of show to be shown except the one they saw and are seeing this week and this is the first Revue that Central Avenue has had the pleasure of seeing. BIG TIME NEW YEAR'S EVE A big time was had by all on New Year's Eve. The house was packed and jammed from top to bottom and most of the folks seem to be a little full of fun and a little bottle if everything else so you know just what that consists of. Horns were blowing, rattlers were rattling and all the rest of the noise makers were doing their best when the clock struck 12 kells and the old boy started to creep out and the youngster started strolling in for a stay of 365 days. As usual there was no plot to the Revue. Miss McKinney of Hallelu jah was the guest star with Billy Andrews acting as Master of Cere. Friday, January 3, 1930 ALS" SEEN AT LINCOLN ANNUAL MIDNITE RAMBLE NINA MAE McKINNEY scan monies, in a most capable way and that is no less. There were no outstanding stars. Not even Nina could be listed as a real star Saturday night, not because she does not have the ability, but because the Revue was so arranged the winsome little Miss with the million dollars eyes was not able to stand out as she should have. COCKTAIL OF JOY Miss Lee Taylor was the girl that posed as the Cocktail of joy and the little Miss Taylor got a big hand with the number originated and written by Ellise Schuyler, producer at the Winter Garden, New York. Everything pulled off was of Harlem's very own that is Harlem's scandals. Most of the acts were off color, but they seemed to click with the capacity crowd. Miss Laura Bowman sang Hallelu-jah as only the one and incomparable Miss Bowman can sing it and received about ten encores. I don't believe I have left out any. I thought I would lose count there once. All in all everybody had a Happy and wet New Year from the sounds forthcoming. E CIETS Page----Two The Calif.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... $1.25 Three Months ..... $.75 Per Copy ..... 05 Down in the Philippe Islands there is a group of brown-skinned people approximately 12 million strong that is making a determined peaceful fight for their national freedom. Here in America where some 18 thousand of them live they, organized three years ago to further here in the United States their fight. The past week has brought home to Los Angeles and should be an example to the local Negro at least what can be done through the channels of cooperation and organization, when five thousand of them held their annual convention in our city and decorated the up-town business thoroughfares overhead artistically with banners and flags under which they marched in uniforms with tands playing and colors flying advertising their cause. "Twas a wonderful and impressive sight and I thought to myself if five thousand of these little people can, several thousand miles from home, raise money enough to make such a demonstration, what could and should 65 thousand Negroes living in Los Angeles do to further their cause for constitutional freedom. Let us hope that in the place of having so many misogynous social affairs in 1930 calling for the purchase of thousands of dollars of dresses and finery on credit from the credit concerns that charge you two dollars for 95 cents worth of value in addition to the waste of thousand of dollars on hall rent and music, cut down on this line of frivolity and through the channels o the N. A. A. C. P. or some other source make an organized effort through up-town publicity just like the Philippines to convince the national government which is killing hundreds yearly and spending millions to protect the 15th Amendment why it should at least spend a portion of its time and the taxpayers' money to protect its black subjects who have contributed so much to its economic development and as a reward in turn been lynched, murdered and burned at the stake for inoffensive crimes. But folks, if we make no concerted effort to do something to help ourselves and advertise our cause why we can't expect our Uncle Sam to help us when we won't help ourselves. Bernard, Karen! --- India, that scathing, boiling kettle of humanity, under English rule, like the Philippines is in open revolt and fighting tyranny, a crude monster in itself. With Russia and Ireland as examples, it might be well for England to think twice before she acts or decides to put her tanks into action. --- Our old friend Ralph Flowers and wife of Portland, were forced to desert their rain and snow infested city for Los Angeles, the city of sunshine. They are all smiles and sorry that they can induce Jupiter Publius to pay their home town more respect. Word reaches us that Johnnie Johnson, well-known about town, committed suicide last Monday. We were sorry indeed to hear this bit of news for our acquaintance was of long standing and had ripened into a rich friendship. He was a hustling bustling type of auto salesman and had a large circle of personal friends that he had made in the game. We noticed in making our weekly tour of the column edited by Chas. Upton, who champions the Railroad Boys' cause that he left himself wide open to attack last week. We met a Buckeye who took time out to inform the world that Colonel Upton was a bit "wet" when he accused the great State of Ohio of having Exzema. Better look up your geography. What he had reference to was Xenia, a beautiful little city. We succeeded in getting the brother to calm himself but for heaven's sake don't cut any more hogs and tag them Ohio. I thank you.

JACKSON, M.D. The protection of swimming pools, according to the United States public health service, of both the indoor and outdoor type against contamination by bathres involves the use of certain methods applicable to all bathing places where the amount of water is limited-first, control of the bathers second, replacement and disinfection of the water. To reduce the amount of contamination from bathers, regulations should require that individuals using the pool cleanse themselves as thoroughly as possible with soap and water before entering the bathing place. As a further precaution, every bather should be given a physical inspection, and no person who has any contagious disease or infected sore or wound should be permitted to use the pool. It is believed that infections of the ear and eye occurring among bathers frequently are acquired in swimming pools; yet it is possible that if these infections are attributable to the use of bathing places, some of them may result from the effect of water pressure or the lessening of bodily resistance by exposure to cold and physical exhaustion, or from the spread of infection already present in the individual himself. Transier of infection from one bather to another may also take place. Infection of the feet with ringworm is believed especially likely to spread among bathers, presumably as the result of depositing the causative organism on the floors of bath houses. The danger of acquiring this annoying infection should be minimized by keeping bath house floors as clean and dry as possible. The use of light canvas slippers in dressing rooms would probably result in marked decrease in the frequency of ringworm of the feet. Carpets or rugs should not be used in bath houses as they are likely to remain damp and harbor infection easily. Poolrubs such as are frequently provided at hotels and bath houses are likely to spread infection and should not be allowed. To minimize the danger of contamination of swimming pools and small ponds by bathers certain standards of replacement and disinfection of water City Purchases 4100 Acres in Owens Valley In line with its announced program of acquiring, of reasonable prices, all available water bearing lands in Owens Valley, as a means of safeguarding the city's water supply, the Board of Water and Power Commissioners has approved the purchase of 41000 acres comprimed of land in the Owens River Canal district. By the terms of the agreement formulated by the Board the City will be permitted to go ahead without hindrance in the drilling of wells in the Bishop area. All of the land involved in the proposed purchase is water bearing. With this purchase, the City will be in possession of more than 90 per cent of all agricultural land in Owens Valley. The deal involving Owens Valley canners brings to a close a series of conferences held over a period of six years and clears an important situation arising out of negotiations for land purchases. By the terms of the purchase agreement a price of $1,120,000 has been set for the properties. This price was arrived at by E. D. Goodenough of Pira, appolated by the City and the land owners to establish a price that would be agreeable to both sides. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, the City will take an option for 30 days. Within that time the ranchers are expected individually to produce evidence of clear title to their land. As soon as this evidence is produced, the City will enter into a new option agreement to purchase, running up to November 1, 1920, and will pay 10 per cent of the purchase price. The board has announced it will proceed with completion of the purchase just as quickly as funds are provided Every drop of water available in the Owens Valley watershed will be currently needed if the present dry condition prevails, it is pointed out by the Board. The Board is moving ahead rapidly to terminate all negotiations looking to the acquirement of water bearing lands in the Valley. W. A. Booker Appointed Assistant National Attorney Of Mosaic Templars Of America Little Rock, Ark. Jan 1 By A.N.P. —W. A. Booker, well-known young attorney graduate of Northwestern has been recently appointed by Scipio A. Jones, famous lawyer, who is now the new National Grand Master of the Mosques, as assistant National Attorney to be associated with B. G. Clinton, who, by appointment, now fills the position of General Attorney, formerly held by Scipio A. Jones. Mr. Booker is a native of Little Rock received his entire education with his college work at the Arkansas Baptist College, for many years headed by his father. He received his legal education at Northwestern University Law School at Chicago, was admitted to Supreme Court of Arkansas in June, 1925, and has been engaged ever since in the practice of law with his brother under the firm name of Booker and Booker. He was made a member of the Republican National Speakers Bureau in the last political campaign and spoke for President Hoover in Ohio for several weeks. He was admitted to United States Supreme Court March 6, 1929, at Washington, D.C. The Mosaic Templars is one of the largest organizations owned and operated by our race, operating in 26 states, Central America, and West Indies. The organization has on a nation-wide campaign for new members. have been fixed by sanitary authorities. Assuming that the water for each bather, without regard to disinfection requirements, is 50 gallons. In other words where the pool is filled and emptied at intervals, it may be used, after each filling by one bather for each 50 gallons of water in the pool. If the water is the requirement of fifty gallons for each bather. Unless the amount of water replacement is so great that immediate contamination is off set by dilution, disinfection is required in addition to replacement. This is usually done by the use of chlorine, supplied from a tank in liquid form by as suitable apparatus or obtaining by making a solution from chlorinated lime or "bleach." The disinfection may be intermittent or continuous. By intermittent disinfection is meant complete disinfection of the water at intervals after use by a certain number of bathers. Continuous disinfection is the constant addition of the disinfection in an amount sufficient to take care of the contamination load at all times. Some authorities believe that the continuous method gives better protection. The effect of replacement and disinfection on the sanitary quality of water in swimming pools always should be checked carefully by frequent bacteriological examinations, and tests for residual chlorine.

Teach Me, New Year (By CARL ECHOLS) Hail, New Twelvemonths, child of yesteryear, parent of distant tomorrow. I salute the offspring of Time, daughter of Eternity. Teach me, fresh born year, things I need to know. Of books? Nay. I ask thee not, of systems, schools, and philosophies? No! I would know life and the inner surgings of my soul. If I fully comprehend me the world in which I dwell would cease to be a mystery. If I but knew myself, life's hardest problems would fast melt away. With sophisticated man I'm tired; and so with shams, hypocrisies. Teach me a little more of love—the brotherly sort. Of patience and of self-control. Impatience is the curse of me—till my restless mind. Banish fear, worry, and over-haste. Of misleading paths I take no part. Teach me. New Year, my destiny. If last year I grew cynical, help me to grow less so. Take not the iron from my bloom, nor the flare of my spirit dampen. But crown my brow with wisdom and my speech with common sense. If yesteryear, with its puzzles and struggles, added bitterness to my soul; this year, I hope, with its unraveled future will purify my gall. "The blunders of the old year cast me much—mental anguish, shame, bodily pain. This New Year I trust will bring great profits from lessons dearly learned. And too young year, sustain my belief in myself. If others be deceived, pray, let me not deceive myself. Let me trust in myself and confidence in myself. If hate stole into my life last year, plant seeds of love in its stean." Bright year. I make no resolves to you. Not ask for an easier life. If experience's hammer must smite me, let it strike, and strike, and strike. Help to mold me. New Year, into a living worthwhile. New born year, teach me to know myself, and others I'll know. Grant all this for me, and for others do the same, only, multiply their bible-sings a hundred times a hundred.

There was no provision for them, even by separation on the main floor. "Last night George went to a sparring match in the Armory between two colored boxers. When he got back he came up to my room to tell me that he had seen an illustration of race relations. It was not a mob crowd.

Officer's Address New York, Dec. 27.-The December News Letter of the Women's Peace Society gives high praise to an address delivered at that organization's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The News Letter says: "Mr. Bagnall who was to have followed Mrs. Wile on the afternoon program spoke on the same topic, "Peace Within Our Borders." It was agreed by all that Mr. Bagnall's address was the most completely satisfactory and informative address to which we had ever been privileged to listen. We would be most happy if we could furnish members with a complete transcript of the address." Fire Drives 200 New Yorkeds Out New York, Jen, I.

Mr. Simpson, a native of South Carolina, has the endorsement of a number of civic and race leaders and his application for the post has been promised the support of the Chairman of the Republican State Committee, Mr. William J. Mair, Mr. Maier wrote, Mr. Simpson that the president had not indicated a readiness to make any appointments at the time but when the time was ripe, Mr. Simpsons name would be presented Mr. Hoover with the endorsement of the Committee. Close observers are certain that no minister to Liberia will be appointed however for a long time. LOOK ! LOOK !

A N P Page-Five White Man Discharged On Charge Of Robbing A Negro (Bv: A N P) New Bern, N. C., Jan. I.—Despite the fact that Henry Bawls, prominent young white man, admitted that he had entered the home of Matthew Grissom and had taken a quantity of liquor he was discharged by the court here Thursday morning when he was tried on a burglary charge. Grissom charged the white man with entering his home and robbing it, among the loot being $200. The white man declared that he had not taken any money but confessed to taking the liquor which he said he destroyed for revenge. Charges of a similar nature against Rawls' white companion will probably be dropped. Women Are Martyrs In African Battle (By: A. N. P.) London, Jan. I.—Dr. D. D. Sheildone of the under-secretaries of state of the African Colonies, has reported that forty-three native women had been shot and killed by European troops in the riots staged in the colonies recently. According to this report the men, armed with machettes, used the women as shields to protect them in their advance upon the European troops. The natives had heard of the vampired chivalry of the whites and had used this method of protection but found that the much heralded chivalry was a myth as the women were sh of down in coldblood. While this report has been accepted as plausible, there is much apprehension on the part of those who look at it. Reports of petitions upon white men and women in the rioting section are believed to have caused the massacre of native women.

The increased business which would obtain for hometown merchants from such a community resolution might seem inconsiderable to those who buy seldom if ever through the mails, but to that person acquainted with postal money order statistics and the numbers of mail order catalogs annually pouring into the resulting loss to the community is staggering. At this time, when community co-operation and loyalty are doing so much for community growth and prosperity, it seems that an intensive and concerted campaign for one solid year for 100 per cent inculcation of the "buying at home" habit would discover for every community the hidden "fountain of prosperity." Presupposing that the mail order catalogue cover has been clamped down tightly for one year by the whole community the probable benefits which would accrue to the community are amazing. Firstly, thousands of dollars annually shipped out of town would pour into home town stores. The increased business would encourage the merchants to store improvements, the purchase of larger stocks, the lowering of prices and to otherwise improving service. The benefit to the public of better stores, larger stocks, lower prices and better service is obvious. Business begets business. It is the busy town which attracts new industries, new business, new citizens, and new buildings. Population increases and building improvements dstribute the tab burden over a larger area, lightening it for the individual. Is there anyone who doubts that Los Angeles would be a bigger and better town to live in in 1931 if everybody bought at home in 1930?

Unless the "sign" is right, he is sure that it will be useless for him to attempt to get a crop. The federal department of agriculture has issued an almanac for farmers, and this almanac contains a somewhat serious attack on the ideas of persons who adhere to the moon lore for farming and gardening. This almanac will have the approval of the modern farmer who has adopted business-like methods in his farming operations. "Don't plant by the moon," the almanac says, "but get the best seed and prepare the seed bed, then plant when soil and moisture conditions are right." Good sense, certainly, but how are you going to convince the man who has a moon almanac hanging in the kitchen? The department of agriculture insists that the preparation of the seed bed and planting at a time when conditions of heat and moisture are the most favorable with proper cultivation, will insure good crops, regardless of what the moon almanac may say. Students in agricultural schools and some farmers may believe that, but it is too much to expect that many farmers will not continue skeptical in spite of the assurance of the experts.

This year and the years following are a time to buy advertising economically, to match in advertising the increased efficiency of producton. Newspaper advertising is low-cost, productive, localized advertising. It is the logical aid of business at a time when volume is large, when hand-to-mouth buying puts a premium upon flexibility and control. Newspaper advertising permits more speed because it has four-wheel brakes. Newspaper advertising can be focused without waste upon the markets of the greatest buying nation on earth. It reaches the greatest number of people and its seed is sowed in fertile soil. That is, the merchant buying newspaper advertising space knows it is covering his trade area and reaching the maximum number of old and prospective customers in that territory. The California Eagle is leader in this rich market for advertised goods. Its readers look to it for shopping information and news of the commercial world, and its advertisers look to it to appraise the public of shopping advantages and opportunities they offer Newspaper advertising, and newspaper advertising alone, can sell everything from patent medicine to automobiles. It has done it, is doing it and will continue to do it. The only music typically American is that made by the mocking bird, the saxophone and the cash register. The Chicago University investigator who declares that the Apostle Paul had a stenographer who took his epistles in short-hand may discover on further examination that they were written on a typewriter. The statement that a London preacher, who refuses to perform the marriage ceremony for a bride with powdered face and painted lips, has not performed a ceremony for several weeks would seem to illustrate cause and effect. Page----Six If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Before the ink is dry on this sheet of paper a million or so "good resolves" will have been made and ninety per cent of them broken. The anti-Volstead party which ushered in the New Year and chased Father Time over the abyss of oblivion, caused many to say on the morning after. "Never Again!" But the water on the wagon had a bad taste, so they eased off. If the ash can had not been emptied, the next morning found us fishing out the pipes and tobacco thrown away in our frenzy of self purification. And so on down the line. We look a bit sheepish for a while, but the old world spins merrily on and soon we're in the same routine with the leaf of "Good Resolutions" all smeared over. Our calloused consciences are dulled once more and there is no twinge of it when the law is violated by the visit of the favorite "bootleger." There is an old adage about the road to hell being paved with good resolutions, and if so it should be a well kept and well built highway, for two thirds of the civilized people have contributed to the upkeep as well as the construction. Wouldn't it be fine if a resolution to pool the change spent in frivolity, for just one year, and then invest it in some co-operative business. We would not look for quick dividends! We would be only glad to furnish employment to some of the young men and women that are becoming pariads of the social and industrial systems because they have no means of, advantageously, capitalizing the education and training given them. * * * * * temperance in the use of when they were working to educate the meniment to both health and static law can effect the in thin.

In the disse enhance the cause of through education will test Advocates of temperance in the use of alcoholic beverages had the right idea when they were working to minimize their consumption, by trying to educate the masses that excessive drinking was a detriment to both health and material progress. No amount of drastic law can effect the inner conscience. It must grow from within. It can only be achieved by education. Veneer it as pleases you, but the least touch will reveal the fact that the prohibition laws, as now enacted, are impotent and their enforcement futile. The fanatical minority, assisted, surrepticiously, by the illicit bootlegger, block every move to some modification. The fanatic by threats of political retaliation, and the bootlegger by the use of money. Norway tried to force a prohibition on the people, and failed. Canada was wise and rather than turn her populace into a conglomerate mass of law breakers; hypocrites and liars, amended the system and allowed those who desired to drink under supervision of the authorities and control of the government. Mexico is wise. The government has seen the failure of trying to enforce an unpopular statute, and is resorting to the idea advocated by the gospel of temperance; educating the masses and showing them the ill effects of intemperance, both by precept and example. The radical drys; the lawmakers who vote "dry" and drink "wet," and the professional reformers who are prohibitionist for the salary, have registered their disgust with the dry personnel, claiming that the mode of enforcement is not drastic enough. They lose sight of the thousands of lives, victims of fanatical intolerance, snuffed out and the crowded prisons which attest to enforcement activities. They certainly are cognizant of the law, "Jones"—which has practically made a felon of every other man, woman and child in the nation, because if you don't "snitch" on every person you know that has a bit of drink, you are equally guilty and subject to the same punishment. No they are not satisfied and even want the scalp of the Secretary of the Treasury, Mellon. Excessive zeal often will obscure saner judgment. It is the zealot, abetted by the illicit trafficker in whisky, that has kept prohibition from being, even partially successful, and has created a disregard of law. They have insisted on bringing it to the fore and taking precedence of weightier matters. They have insisted that all other legislation be subordinated. In fact, have nearly succeeded in making the cause of Prohibition a national religion. By no means would we advocate the return of the traffic as it once existed. Neither do we believe that Prohibition as it is now can be successfully enforced. Local option would be a far more feasible plan. Making the authorities responsible in the areas prohibited would be easier by far, and more effective, cost less, and efficiently controlled. Reduced to local areas it would cease to be the foot ball of national politics, and in being withdrawn from church controversies would no longer befog their usefulness. In the dissemination of their religions, they would enhance the cause of Temperance, which after all is said, through education will teach men and women the evils of excess. * * * * * s, senior ecclesiastic of to divest Bishop Car the scandal in connec the acceptance of bri imsions of Chicago, has n. Comment unnecessary * * * * * inent politician remar Bishop Parks, senior ecclesiastic of the A. M. E. church has been petitioned to divest Bishop Cary of his robes. The petitions aver that the scandal in connection with the indictment for bribery, or the acceptance of bribes, while serving on the civil service commisions of Chicago, has impaired his usefulness as a churchman. Comment unnecessary. Heard a prominent politician remark that any time he aspired to public office he'd pay ex-Governor Richardson to play on the other side. He certainly threw a political boner in rattling the dry bones of that "Taylor murder," and if Buron Fitts, late lieutenant governor, now District Attorney, Los Angeles County, has any intention of contesting for the mantle of C. C. Young, he had better forget it now. Friend Richardson threw the wrench in his own machine. For more than a year the daily papers of Detroit, Mich., have been printing stories of robberies and holdups committed by a "Negro." Many innocent arrests were made. Recently the mystery was solved by the capture of Vito Rondello (white) with blackened face and a very good imitation of Southern Negro dialect. He was caught in the act of a hold-up. Lynching Negroes has become "passe" in the South so they have turned to other sources for the sport. But the recreation is going to be short lived. They are lynching white folk. A storm, which threatens to eclipse the light of Prohibition, has been raised by the lynching in Breathitt, Ky., of Fugate (white) and the frustration of the lynching of a white youth at Boonville, Mo. He is accused of the crime of attacking a young white girl. Just reaping the whirlwind! The asperation of the "Hon." Roscoe Conkling Simmons to occupy the place in Congress now held by DePriest is, to say the least, ludicrous if not lugubrious. He has gone down South to get the endorsement of the "niggah in his place Sah," for his selection to represent the sovereign State of Illinois. Now isn't Well it looks as if Kaydet Parham, West Point, has flunked. Report has it that he failed in his December examination. Mathematics! He has one more chance, but we are afraid that Congressman DePriest will have another appointment to make. With the 'incoming year may it be "Resolved by the Negroes of the commonwealth of California that we work, unitedly, for the betterment of conditions for the masses, politically, industrially and religiously, and; Whereas, these ends can be obtained only by coordinate effort, be it further, Resolved; that we lay aside all petty jealousies and personal grievances and work for their fullfilment. With that end in view we wish for all a "Prosperous New Year." ADULT CLASSES AT LAFAYETTE Now that the holidays are over, we want to do some good work before the spring comes to make us feel lazy. The following classes for adults are held at Lafayette Junior High School, 1515 E. 14th St. Room 16, Mrs. Murdoch in charge: Reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, spelling, and United States History, for beginners and intermediatees on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30 to 10:30. If you cannot stay the whole two hours or cannot come as early as 8:30, come the time at your disposal and get as much as you can. Then work is adjusted to meet the abilities of the members of the class so it does not matter if you have had much or little previous schooling. Advanced English, public speaking and civic sociology are the subjects studied on Wednesday from 1 to 3. Persons taking this class should be able to read and write fairly well to get much out of it. It is largely a discussion class and is very interesting but needs more members. The art and handcraft class comes on Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00 to 3:00. Many types of lamp shades, plaques, pictures, batik scarfs, handkerchiefs, and other things as they become popular are made in these classes. There is no charge except the cost of materials used and the articles made belong to the maker. On Monday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. is the dressmaking and sewing class. Paper patterns are used unless the student has a block which she wishes to use. We have made coats, dresses, children's clothes, and lingerie this year from new and old material. If you have an old dress or coat too good to throw away but not in condition to wear any more, bring it and see if something useful and good-looking cannot be made from it. You may come to morning or afternoon sessions or may get your lunch in the school cafeteria and stay thir whole day if you wish. There is no charge for instruction in any of these classes and the articles in the art and sewing classes are whatever the person wishes to have and are taken home when finished. Some materials are supplied by the school for the art class and others are furnished by individual students. Mrs. Murdoch would be very glad to talkto anyone interested and give advice as to what would be best to begin first. The English classes are open to both men and women and are more interesting to get the different viewpoints of each. If you have any spare time when you could come to any of the above classes, start as soon as possible and get all the good from the work you can as well as all the pleasure for we really have a lot of fun in our school work.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION--- Mrs. Eva Solomon needs no introduction to Southern Californians. The program that she conducted Sunday evening at the Memorial Baptist Church, (white) South Pasadena was an honor to the race. Mr. James Price lectured in commendable fashion, on "The college Students' Attitude Toward the Race Problem." Humor, pathos and timely illustrations were interspersed in his speech, very nicely and effectively. He was fair; clear and logical. Mr. Price discussed on unpopular topics in a convincing manner. Mr. Oscar Overr gave a brief sketch of the life of his father. Mentions his capture and enslavement by slave dealers; his shipment to America, and placement on the slave market to be finally taken to Missouri. Space forbids entering into detail; suffice it to say that there were many wet eyes in the congregation—the talk went home! A Los Angeles quartett rendered spirituals in a masterful manner. The singers were polished, and they also sang with spirit. We regret that we are unable to publish the personnel. We hope to do so in the near future. Mrs. Cora Laverde Morrow accompanied the singers very sympathetically. Under her skilled touch the piano bespoke nuances, harmonies, and dynamics that offered appropriate background for the sadly sweet Negro melodies. Melodies that revealed the pent up emotions of the Black Americans. Mr. Lloyd Griffith addressed the First M. E. Church (white) Sunday evening. We are pleased to have him in our midst. He will also speak at the Friendship B. Y. P. U. Sunday evening. Mrs. Morris announces a unique program to be rendered at the B. Y. P. U. the second Sunday in January. It will be in the nature of an Open Forum. The subject will be on race relations, and plans are on foot to have representatives present from various racial groups. All the churches are requested to send representatives. The discussion will be lead by Carl Echols in association with capable speakers. Everyone will have a chance to talk. SICK...

BURROUGHS (For The Associated Negro Press) Negroes have invested more money in churches than they have in any other enterprise in the world. When churches are used, PROPERLY, the people get more out of them then they do out of any other enterprise in the world. The ministers are their only welfare group for whose salaries and unkeep Negroes seem to feel responsible. Up to the last decade the Negro took the church and his religious obligations most seriously. He felt it his bounded duty to build churches and "spote" the ministry. I return for the investment in property and their identity to the cause, therace has millions of dollars tied up in churches that are shut up four fifths of the year, run down, going to pieces or standing still while the leaders are wasting time and money, fighting, masquerading, half preaching, or preaching spurious doctrines, in the name of the Christian religion. A relatively small number are doing anything like their duty in bringing the people up and cut of the mire and the clay and establishing their goin. The colossal waste and bad management, that is so evident in Negro Church life, would not be tolerated nor supported in any other enterprise or profession. Q, religion! religion! what awful and enormous waste is indulged in, in thy name. People put their money into churches for the dissemination of the truth, the regeneration of mankind, the edification of the mind and soul, the creation of a new earth wherein dwelling righteousness. But from nineteenth of our churches the people are not getting anything that approaches the spiritual and moral returns that they should get on their tremendous investments. The Bible asks "Will a man rob God?" Yes, any church that get a dollar's worth of sacrifice and gives back a dime's worth or results, is robbing God and man. That is just what every church that is shut up A GUARANTEE FROM A RELIABLE MEANS SOMETHING Our Prices Are One HA WE PROMISE NOT If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened four-fifths of the time, run down, neglected, and allows poor preaching, and questionable living on the part of the leader, represents—a dime for your dollar—in some cases, even the dime has a hole in it. Thousands of our churches are not only locked up but are left dirty and "topsy curvy" from Sunday to Saturday and are only brushed up on Sat. wholly to the condition is to cheer wholly to laziness, standardless, visionless, selfish leaders. Able-bodied men who claim that they are called of God, sit around all the week and allow their church yards to grow up in weeds or become as bare of grass as the palms of their hands are of hair, the fences to fall down, the window lights to drop out and these men have the temerity to come to church on Sunday and preach about how industrious Paul, the tent making preacher, was. No, don't put it on the sexton. If he is hired to keep the church clean he should be fired if he doesn't do it. He is not hired to keep the church clean to suit himself. Coming down to fine points the trustees and stewards are not responsible for setting up the physical environment. The officers and ministers are responsible for providing the means and cooperating in every way possible but it is the minister's job to get results or get out. Nero churches are not living up to their trust nor opportunity. The masses have built, bought, and supported the churches. In return the churches lock the people out doors all the week and hold them up on Sunday. "Feed my sheep" has come to mean fleece my sheep." We criticise the people for going to the dogs. There is nowhere else for millions of them to go. The churches for which they have paid are locked up. Thousands of the churches have no program. The dogs keep open house with something doing every minute in the day, three hundred and sixty-five days to the year. The churches could beat them at the game if the children of light were wiser than the children of the world. The dogs are and are the game. They stay opento catch it. The church get the game on Sunday and turn in the people to the dogs for six days. Many church leaders take six days to get ready to give one poor performance on Sunday. The dogs have a perpetual performance—with variety. In this day of competition business and professional men stay on their jobs and keep their specific business going the entire week. Many of our preachers lock up the churches and spend their time resting or enaging in worldly business. The churches stand in the community LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1930 How to Enjoy Being A Negro NELL HUNTER, FAMED SINGER, DESCRIBES STAY IN AUSTRIA IS LONE COLORED WOMAN MINGLES WITH DUKES AN DDUCHESES Gluckgasse, Wein, Austria, Dec. 30 By A.N.P.—An interesting description of life in Austria has been written by Miss Nell Hunter, well-known American dramatic soprano. Mrs. Hunter whose home is in Dunham, N. C., has spent the last year in study in Europe. "Next month," she writes, will round out my first year abroad, and it has passed so quickly and has been so full of interesting experiences that I hardly know where to begin. My first six months were spent in London, where I studied with a very excellent teacher of voice, Louis Drysdale. You remember him, I suppose. He is a wEst Indian and has coached many of the famous singers of the day. Among our gruppe who have studied under him are Roland Hayes and Marion Anderson. In July I came to Austria to study German Lieder as well as to learn the language. My teacher here is Dr. Lierhammer, said to be one of the best teachers of the present day. He taught during July and August in a little mountain resort village, Mondse, where there were gathered to together of Europe's most famous writers, musicians, artists in all lines. How I wish more of my fellow singers and artists could have been here to contact contacts of the most intimate peasant to royalty. A real Russian Duchess and her daughter, a princess, live in the home where I abide. They are lovely to meet. Both speak English well, as do a surprising number of the artists. Came back here to Vienna, city of Music, the first of September, and feel now like a native the people are so kind, so easy to meet. The city itself situated on the famous Danube River, is a thing of beauty. One never tires of looking at its lovely buildings and statuary. There is no other city whose musical background compares with it, having been the home of Schutert, Brahma, Each, Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Wolf and many others. There are less than a few Negroes here. As far as I know there is not another Negro woman here. For that reason I occupy a very unique social position—a popularity that I could not enjoy were I fair of complexion, I locked up, run down, and looking lonesome. A run down church does not mean anything on earth but a run down, lazy leader. Mighty plain talk, bue ye shall know the truth—even if it does hurt, the guilty. Talking about the high cost of living what about the high cost of religion? Here are millions of dollars put into buildings that are locked up and the people who made the sacrifice and paid for them have to go to other places for edification and wholesome diversion six days of the week. Churches beg about the quality of nothing. Quality and not quantity counts with God. Only a handful of people are actually engaged in Christian service. The churches are not developing Christian leaders in proportion to the outlay in equipment and the opportunity for encouraging the right use of talent. the churches should be kept open and the people properly organized, trained, and put to work. That is the only way they can develop. The Bible is clear on this point. The spiritua land general gifts of the people are many and they are for moral use. The Bible definitely commands the church to put everybody to work, to stimulate and utilize the diversity of gifts. Read the twelfth chapter of First Corinthians. Churches under intelligent leadership can be run very much like schools and be made service stations. The Bible teachers would come to teach God's word, the doctors to teach health and to heal the people. The lawyer to give advice, the nurse to instruct mothers, the musician to teach music, etc., until all who have gifts are given a chance to exercise them and all idle churches and idle members are put to work. The masses would be lifted up and their investment in churches would pay in this world and in the world to come. While the ministers are asking the people "Why stand ye here idle," the people are beginning to ask the churches and the ministers who hold the keys, the same pertinent question, the same idle churches, the same idle ministers, idle churches and the people going to the dogs because the dogs keep open house. (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Dec. 31.—Chicagoans of both races joined hands to pat over what, according to Julius Rosenwald, is the greatest project for the primary benefit of the Negro since the emancipation of the group, here Friday evening when leaders gathered at the Palmer House, one of the leading loop hotels, and pledged themselves to put over the proposed $3,000,000 Provident Hospital and Training School. The affair was labelled by the sponsors, who included Mr. Rosenwald, Dr. Frank Hines, Colonel A. A. Sprague, and Alexander L. Jackson, an informative dinner and informative it was. Dr. Billing, represents the University of Chicago and chairman of the campaign committee, told of the project which is being tested by the board of trustees of the Provident Hospital and Training School, in co-operation with the University of Chicago, and declared that the proposed institution would mark the beginning of a new era in the medical profession as far as Negroes are concerned. Dr. H. S. Cummings, Surgeon-General of the United States Public Health Service, was the guest of honor, outlined the obstacles faced by Negroes in the effort to improve health conditions and thereby lower the much too high mortality rate among Negroes, not only of Chicago, but of the entire country. The surgeon general told the group assembled, that the project, as explained by Dr. Ellings, would do much toward bringing about the desired results in this direction. One of the most rious handicaps faced by the Negro physician and nurse he said, was the lack of opportunity to pursue post graduate and research work. It is the plan of the Greeter Provident Hospital and Training School to offer this training. What Provident Hospital has done in Chicago and in other sections of the country through the graduates of the nurse training school and the physicians who have served as internes during the forty year period of its existence was related by Alexander L. Jackson president, on the Board or Trustees of the institution. According to Mr. Jackson, then women, have been trained as nurses and 163 physicians have been qualified through the intering service of the institution for state licenses. Leaders of every profession were present at the dinner and manifested great interest in the project as indicated in the response made to the appeal of Colonel Sprague for volunteer workers. Some eighty-five white and colored citizens responded to this appeal and the organization is being rapidly completed for the financial campaign which will be launched here January 15. Included among those who volunteered are some of Chicago's most prominent citizens, which indicates the interest of the citizens at large in the effort to prove Negro health and the health of Chicago. According to the present plan, the new institution, while offering hospitalization for all citizens, will emphasize particularly the teaching, training and research aspect. Through the new institution a materially larger number of physicians will be afforded the opportunity to serve as internees; an increased number of young women; an increased training of nurses; and graduate training in medicine and surgery, under the most competent teachers, will be offered to physicians and surgeons from all sections of the country. have not noted one bit or color prejudice—there is a perfect absence of it. One can really enjoy being a Negro I go frequently into some of the best homes here to teas, dinners, bridge musicals, etc. ARTIST PAINTS HER PORTRAIT FOR MUSEUM Recently a very gifted and famous artist painted a portrait of me which now hangs in the Kuala Lumpur museum in Chicago. This I consider a very signal honor. It is a large, lifesize portrait done in oil. I have had the privilege of singing quite a deal in private and on programs as well as with other artists, but my real presentation will be my teacher in April. Am holding my breath to know what the critics will write, as these are the most critical people in the world. By WILLIAM PICKENS Much has been said about "nature-fakers," those pseudo-naturalists, who tell us things about animal life and other life, exaggerated and colored by their imaginations and by their desire for the sensational. And now the return of the 55 bodies of American soldiers from their graves in northern Russia, is calling forth whole volumes of patriotic lying or "history faking." Governor Green, of Michigan, at the ceremonies in Detroit, over the bones of these 55 boys just returned from Siberian wastes, said: "They Died that Freedom May Live." Then he went on, eloquently and falsely, to declare that their sacrifice "should quicken anew in all of us a devotion to cause of liberty." Full of patriotism, and empty of truth, or of the courage to tell the plain and bitter truth, he added that these boys had gone to Russia in 1918 "to die for liberty." The only reason why one of the bravest of these boys did not rise up and protest and shame the governor, is the simple fact that to be eleven years dead and buried makes it impossible for a fellow to get up and talk. But let us suppose that one of those boys could get up and speak, this is more nearly what he would have said: "No, Governor Green, when we sailed from Hoboken in July, 1918, we had no desire and no idea of going to fight Russians in Russia; we were going over, like so many other helpless men, to kill and to die in a war against what was described to us as a German menace. And we had no settled intention to die, every one of us hoped to be one of the lucky ones who would return. And furthest of all from our minds was any notion of going to Russia; we knew as well as President Wilson knew, that there was no war made on us by Russians, and that our liberty was not threatened in Russia. We were sent to Russia on a plain fool's errand. We were in Siberia, was the liberty of the Russian people to run their own affairs according to their own motions. Instead of fighting for liberty and freedom, we were doing our darndest to bear down His Russian people and to resurface the tyrannous guardom and grand-dukedom which they had destroyed in pursuit of their own freedom. We have no sympathy for the form of the new government in Russia; we do not understand much about it, but we were fighting against their liberty to other wanted for themselves. We were opposed to liberty, and if we could have succeeded, liberty would have been wounded, not defended. And it was not our wish nor our fault. Between you and us and the gatepost, Governor, if it had all been back home dawn after we had our first experience through the ice frozen land of Siberia. We accomplished nothing in Russia except the untimely ends of our lives!" If dead men could speak, a lot of historic lies would be confounded. But the living have the advantage in talk, and they will go on, writing fake histories, befuddling the minds of the young by patricie falsehoods, and preparing for the next war. But the most remarkable funeral of the fifty-five men of the 339th Infantry, was the message from "The Russian Imperial Guard" "These Russians sent a wreath of flowers, accompanied by eight simple and dignified words, which ought to disillusion all those who may have been illusioned by the empty eloquence and patriotic camouflages of the American speakers. "The Russian Imperial Guard" remembered clearly enough, that these dead boys of "the Polar Bear Division" had been sent by President Wilson and the administration to help "Imperial Guard" to beat back the Russian people and to restablish a Caar on the throne of Russia, if they could. Our government had tried to pretend that the Russian Revolution was only the uprising of a few agitators and communists; but agitators and communists alone could never have beaten the Russian Imperialists combined with American and British and Japanese soldiers. Nothing but the great Russian people could have done that, and it is a marvel that, under the circumstances, they were able to achieve it. But they did it. And the Imperial Guard, without any effort at camouflage, sent this sincere message of appreciation to the funeral of these boys who had died fighting or freezing and starving with them: "To You, Our Brothers And Comrades—Eternal Memories." Washington, D. C.; Dec. 21. - For the first time in Washington, the "key" to the South, a huge interfacial dance will be held Monday, January 6, 1930. It is being arranged under the auspices of the Communist Party and Young Communist League. It will be held at the Pythian Hall. 1200 "U" street, N. W. at 8:30 P. M. Richard Moore of New York, leading Negro Communist, will address the gathering. This dance is of great significance to the Communist Party in its present membership drive, since it will utilize this dance also to acquiring the Negro and White workers with its revolutionary program of class struggle and to draw members into the organization. Black & White Cabs In New Low-Fare Rate Black & White Cabs In New Low-Fare Rate FROM THE OFFICE OF THE GEN ERAL MANAGER BLACK & WHITE CABS Fitzroy 5121 The following announcement was made today by George Worster, general manager of Black & White Cabs, a newly organized company: Los Angeles today was given the lowest-fare cab service in America: when the management of the Crown Cab Company passed to the Black & White Cabs, newly organized cab company, and combined fleet of 102 cabs was placed on the street under a new rate. "This rate carries an initial charge of five cents, lower than either street car or bus fare. This charge takes the passenger one-fifth of a mile. The next charge is 10 cents, which takes the passenger one-half a mile. Additional charges of 10 cents are made for each additional half-mile. "How this new rate operates was pointedly illustrated on one of the first trips actually made by a Black & White cab. Three men with two suit cases and several packages boarded a cab at the Union Station to the Roslyn hotel. Street car fire for the trio would have been 21 cents. With their brigs and parcels, in a Black & White cab, it was a nickel. An initial charge of $5 drop of five cents is unimproved in Los Angeles. It has been tried out in other cities with more of less success. Never however, in combination with such remarkably low additional rates of ten cents a half mite. All cabs with the distinctive Black & White markings adopted by the company as well as those Crown Cabs temporarily remaining on the street will operate under this rate schedule. "Placing this fleet of cabs in service, officials of the new company believe, will bring to a focus the desultory rate cutting which has been prevalent for several months past. Such a result cannot but help to stabilize the industry and improve the quality of service offered to the public. Fare cats which are encountered both in the companies *p*: taking cabs and their twenty-five hundred employees. The most recent previous price war came about two weeks ago when the California Company reduced its rates. These reduced rates are still higher then Black & White cab rates. The management of Black & White Cabs is less interested, however, in adding a new factor to the cab rate war than in thoroughly and efficiently testing the low charge-large volume theory in the cab industry. The stone principal is the stone principal to this modern business, giving a remarkable, individual transportation service at an extraordinarily low price. "The iscriminating Los Angeles public has always preferred cabs to other forms of commercial transportation and, with these new low rates, it will probably use cabs in hitherto unheard of quantities. The large volume of business that would result would permit the company, its officials believe, to continue passing on the savings made in operating costs to its patrons while making the profit necessary for business purposes. The company will under the most operating conditions, Black & White Cabs have been formed. The fleet of this company to which has been added the fleet of the Crown Cabs Company will be operated from highly efficient cab plants and every possible step taken to make the test a success. "The feet of Black & White Cabs will be manned by a carefully selected Ten Biblical Questions Will Be Print- each Week and the Answers Printed the Following Week. How Man Can You Answer Correctly?

FIGURES PROVE BIG BALL SEASON A compilation of figures for the first ten weeks of play and comprising 24 games played by the Royal Giants and released by Clarence Brooks, official storer, reveals many interesting facts. First it reveals that the Royal Giants is a wonderful ball club, well balanced, with consistent hitters and not a team made up around merely a star player. It shows that the Giants have played a wonderful season of baseball and gives the reader a chance to know the real type of baseball that is played in the winter league when a team of this calibre falls short by two games to win the championship of the first half.

Jack Thompson knocking the wetweight champion galley west to lose the crown by being forced in overweight. Thompson knocked Dundee colder than a mackerel and had him going his way during the whole fight. He fought Jackie Fields the present champ twice and did not get an even break either time. This may sound like alibing for Black Jack, but that riot in Chicago at the time of their second meeting came just a little bit too timely to suit my taste. It came in the eight canto of the boat and the boys were pretty even going into this heat, and then all of a sudden Jack seemed to find himself and he started lambasting Fields from here to there and just about that time this riot started with the black man destined to get the worst of it naturally. The outcome of it was having Fields' hand raised to prevent a Negro from getting a chance at a world's title. LOST IN FRISCO Fields beat Thompson in Frisco, but that bout might have been called a draw in anybody's town—you know the rest. And now to top it all the New York Boxing Commission has put a ban on the Fields-Thompson bout that was to be held there soon. To get on to other things. The other outstanding Negro in the fistic world is the Cuban Negro sensa- tion KID CHOCOLATE, the Kandy Kid. The kid has made a fortune in the ring and is due to make another, before he hands up the gloves for good. HOLDS RECORD Chocolate holds a record that cannot be beat anywhere or at any time. Never before in the history of the fight game has a fighter held the record the clever Cuban boy holds. That, of going through almost 160 bouts without tasting defeat and he has fought the best in his class. He barred none. He took them as they came and made them like it. No matter how much money the kid makes he never forgets his homeland and every holiday he flies home to see his people. The Kandy Kid has made scads of money and is headed for much more. As we scan down the list and look over the various fighters and their records we find none that are outstanding. Some have made some pretty fair showing, but nothing to holler about. Daly Joe Gans has been on the shelf a great part of the past year, but is hitting his stride now. George Godfrey has proved to be the biggest bust in the fictive game, Long Tom Hawkins is just about as bad or worse. Bear Cat Wright is winning but is getting nowhere, Nell Cisby is getting along and no more. We hear no more from Al Walker. NEWCOMERS TO THE FRONT Several newcomers have come to the fore. Sammy Jackson is coming. Young Peter Jackson is also stepping along. And many others are coming. Nate George beat Frank Wycoff, C. Brogan, in the race of the century. PHIL EDWARDS MARRIES Full Edwards, the fastest miller in the world today startled the world by marrying a white French girl. Incidentally Reggie Siki, Akyssian wrestler, writes that he is doing great in Europe and has married a Russian girl. FOOTBALL Two Negro boys in college playing football with their teams have been turned down when it came to playing Southern teams. Their colleges have scheduled games with schools of the south and when the games came up they have not been allowed to play. That all happened this year past. The two schools in mind are New York University and the Univer- Hoover Committee Work for Child Recreation The recreation and general welfare of children throughout the United States is to receive the backing of the Federal government after a committee of experts have devoted a year to a study of the situation, it was reported to the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Commission last week by Superintendent George Hjelte, upon his return from a conference at Washington called by President Hoover to consider this matter. Recognizing the important part played by physical education and recreation in the life of American boys and girls, the conference appointed special committees to study the needs of children in various age groups with a view toward co-ordinating national efforts for the benefit of all youths of the nation. After a year of research, the results of the investigation are to form the basis of a national program to take care of the play needs of children of the United States. Prior to this Washington conference, the local recreation executive extended the convention of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association at Gatport, Miss., where he gathered data to be used in connection with the administration of the Los Angeles municipal beaches. He also visited the meeting of the National Association of Amusement Parks at Chicago to secure information which may later be used in connection with the establishment of a public "Playland" here. Municipal Men's Club Re-opened Re-opening the Municipal Men's Club at 2202 So. Main street as a downtown public recreation center for men, an all-day program of events took place Friday in the newly remodeled building. This institution, which provided recreational service to 1,416,384 men during the past year, according to the annual report of the Playground and Recreational Department, which operates the center, has now been equipped for even wider service than in the past. The front of the three-story structure was completely rebuilt and given a modern and club-like aspect. Interior facilities now include a gymnasium, shower baths, club rooms, game rooms, library, reading rooms, and other features. For the rededication program of last Friday, hundreds of men throughout Los Angeles gathered to witness the entertainment. A chess and checker tournament in the afternoon, and musical and dramatic numbers in the evening marked the re-opening of the popular institution. Hubert Whitehead is now the director in charge of the Men's Club. sity of Oregon. Georgia came to New York to play and Dave Meyers, star back of the New Yorkers was not allowed to play because the southern boys objected to his color. Bob Robinson of Oregon played the whole season with his team and then when it was time for the team to go to Florida he could not go because of his color. Fine, broad-minded, red-blooded AMERICANS DID that in this country of equality and justice. That's enough to end the year. No Football Jim Crow For Altoona High School Team Altoona, Penn, Dec. 27.—R. E. Larryn, superintendent of schools in Altoona, and the faculty of the Altoona High School have received a warm letter of congratulation from the Blair County branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for their firm stand against drawing the color line on the football field. Randolph Brown, Secretary of the Blair County N. A. A. C. P. reports that an attempt was made by Cumberland, Maryland, High School, to exclude from their football game with Altoona. Altoona's star Negro fullback, "Sonny Boy" Milton. Milton has starred throughout the season in which his team lost but one game, an exhibition game with Williamsport. When word came that Cumberland wanted Milton excluded from the game set for November 23, Altoona served notice that "Sonny Boy" Milton would play or else there would be no game. And there was NO GAME. Mrs. Brown, for the N. A. A. C. P., wrote a letter of congratulation, which was read to the faculty and student council of Altoona, who replied with a nice letter. L. A. Open Tennis Tourney Starts Sunday One of the largest and most brilliant entry lists in the history of the annual Los Angeles Open Tennis Tournament will start play Sunday, January 5, at Griffith playground courts, as the first big net event of the 130 season gets under way. It was announced this week by the city Playground and Recreation Department, sponsors of the tourney. Ben Gorchakoff, city open champion, is expected to have his hands full defending his title against an up and coming list of stars who will be after the 130 crown. The same type of competition is also to be faced by Gladys Patz, defending women's singles champion, it is reported, and the men's and women's doubles should also produce many hard-fought matches. This tournament is directed by the Municipal Tennis Association and has the sanction of the Southern California Tennis Association and the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Because of the city-wide interest in the event, arrangements have been made to seat a large gallery of fans at the Griffith Playground courts, which are located at Los Feliz Boulevard and Riverside Drive, and important matches of the tournament are expected to draw thousands next Sunday. Holidays Boost Playground Attendance Attendance at municipal playgrounds of Los Angeles last week jumped to an average of 23,440 daily, or an estimated total of 164,080 for the week, according to the report of Supervisor John C. Henderson to the Playground and Recreation Commission. This high mark, an increase of more than 6,000 daily over the average of the previous week, was credited to the series of special Christmas events held at every municipal playfield. Mosby's Music House YOUNG HEAVYWEIGHT FROM WASHINGTON When promoter Lou Daro was casting around for a suitable wrestler to shove into a main event on the 8th of this month he happened to remember Evertt Mershall a promising young bone crusher and he shoved him right into the top spot. Marshall is the 22-year old boy that created such a sensation in the two matches he had here sometime ago. Both of them were with Don De Laun of Long Beach. Although he was in the local ring about twenty-five minutes he showed enough ability, speed, mat color and such a thorough knowledge or balance and leverage that mat experts tabbed him to prove probably the greatest young star of the new year. The college boy has been wrestling as a professional since last February, and he has met some of the toughest heavyweights and light-heavyweights in the game. He was in Australia for several months last year and beat about eight of the mat stars who gathered there from all parts of the world. He was an amateur for three years and came through that period undefeated. Marshall started out as a middle-weight, grew into the light-heavyweight class and now he weighs more than 200 pounds and still growing. When he came here Daro selected Don De Laun, a strong, tough Long Beach grappler as his opponent. Marshall tied him into knots and beat him with ease. He turned the trick again several weeks later in five minutes time, whe his next, oponent dedged the bout. Promoter Daro stated that as the youngster has proven he possesses greater possibilities than any young star he has seen in action here in some time, and as he has made a decided hit with the mat fans of this section, he is going to give him a chance against the best heavyweight he can bring to the Coast. Friday, January 3, 1930 COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES Outstanding Events in the Black Sport World During the Past Year THINGS QUITE SLOW FOR THE BLACK BOYS BY: ART HAMILTON Now that the old year has drawn to a close and the new year is well upon us let's look back over the past year in sports for the black men. Naturally as we look back over the past we wonder what does the future hold for the black men in sports, will the time to come hold the same bitter dose that it has held in the past year, or will it be better, will the black boys in the great and sporting game of fistism get a break that will allow them to make some of the many thousands of dollars that are made by the whites or will it be the same as it is now, just what will it be? Wouldn't we like to know. Announce Results of Industrial Golf Event "Wild Bill" Jelliffe, well known local golfer, who represented the Girard Corporation in the recently concluded Industrial Golf Tournament at the Montebello Park Golf Club, will be awarded the trophy which goes to the player scoring the most number of birdies in the tourney, it was announced today by the Playground and Recreation Department, sponsors of the tournament. Other tournament winners announced were: Class A—Low gross, F. G. Smith, Jr.; low net, Fred R. Dobrie, Class B—Low gross, R. Henderson; low net, Bob Wilson. Class C—Low gross, J. Lee Thompson; low net, M. A. C. Stearus, Paul Strohn, F. A. Crenle, C. Reynolds and D. J. Alban tied for the blind bogie prize and will meet in a playoff. sby's Friday, January 3, 1930 RAILROAD By CLATTER CHARLES L. UPION 847 Central Avenue Cancel Race Track Specials For Auga Caliente Pullman Porters took another blow on the chin and pocketbook last week, when all of those much herald race track special trains went bluie for the want of patrons, and were canceled. For over a month the papers have been talking about the opening of the new $2,000,000 race track at Auga Caliente. The heads of this famous resort had everything all cut and dried to make a tremendous cleaning on the gambling public on the opening day. Reports were circulated to the effect that all reservations in the palatial hotel were taken weeks in advance, and that accommodations for the overflow was being arranged by chartering several. DeLuxe Pullman compartment trains which were to arrive at the track on the morning of the 28th, and remain; there until the 31st arriving back in Los Angeles on the morning of the 1st in time for the liberal public to spend what Auga Caliente had been kind enough to leave them. But the disastrous effects of the recent Wall Street stock market crash, seems to not have been taken into consideration. Mr. Public, from the big butter and egg man on down to the little speculator, trying to drive a dime to greater power by investment on quick return stocks, was so badly bent and broke after Christmas that even though he would have liked to give Auga Caliente his regular contribution, he could not respond. He is all down in and out, and from a general canvas of such unfortunates, it will be some time before he will be able to recover. The most popular ballard being sung now days is "The Wall Street Blues." The traveling public now days even at a time when the prevailing motto, should be "The Lord Loves a Cheerful Giver," are cutting down to the bone. A young lady who has been taking her living by cooking those wonderful dinners for Mr. Billy, told me the other day that the people she has been cooking for these many years did not have as much food in their ice box as she had at home, and that here lately they had become especially food of soup. Instead of Santa Clars coming down the chimney this year, Wall Street came down. Another high class gentleman of former power owning a $250,000 home with a three car garage, a place that should be handled by no less than ten seconds, is cutting his own grass, and driving his own car. He retains only one servant, and I am told is working her to death. Oh, yes, old man Wall Street got him too. So Ague Calhouni did not do so well on the opening day. The regular train did not even carry an extra car. I believe that a half of car load of people came down from Frisco, outside of that it was tight like that, as far as travel was concerned, and liberal tips for Pullman porters. Even though the Pullman porter did not invest his innegre earnings in the stock market, he feels the depression just as much as those who did, for from them, he has even taught to expect his salary. Not many Xmas presents have been floating around this year. The post card and the post office have done all the business. Uncle Sam should show a big return on his ledgers this year. Houses down town that sell for cash only, have not done much business. But you had to stand in line at places like The Eastern Outfitting Co., Columbia Outfitting Co., Slavicks, Brown and Israel, and any number of other credit houses. Money was tight, and the people let it go the hardest way. So girls while you are rejoicing over that beautiful wrist watch or bracelet that HE got for your Xmas, think of the sleepless nights he is going to have figuring out a way to meet those payments. And the reason is THIS CHRISTMAS IS WALL STREETS. PULLMAN CONDUCTORS HUSTLE FOR XMAS TIPS The poor Pullman Porters who were so unfortunate as to have to leave home the night before Christmas, had exceptionally keen competition in their business of extracting the lusty dime from the traveling public. Those who did manage to have a load arriving at their destination Christmas morning, were surprised to see their Pullman conductor take the play away from them by handing the passenger an Xmas card put out by the Pullman company, and at the same time wish the passenger a merry Christmas. Now if the said passenger happened to be in a liberal mood he shelled out his bit to the Pullman conductor, and your humble servant who had shined his shoes, and made his bed was left in the back ground. A wonderful Christmas, a wonderful Christmas! PREJUDICE IN MEXICO The black hand of Prejudice was plainly shown last week in Ta Janna, Mexico when a number of Mexicans quit work in the middle of a job, because of the fact that the contractor had a few race men working for him. It is said that the Mexicans demanded a ratio of five Mexicans to any other nationality. This prejudice was not directed solely against the Negroes, but on this particular job the only nat- ionality outside of the Mexican was Negroes. TRAVELING CHEF. OLIVER J.

This has caused the car cleaners plenty of grief. And they are all praying for the weather in the east to moderate in order for things to become normal on the coast. Mr. Owen Miller is spending the holidays with relatives and friends in Houston, Texas. Mr. Proston is spending a short vacation in San Antonio, Texas during the holiday. Why does Mr. Pete Dinnman like to work on train No. 104? That red hot sheik. Sidney E. Davis was spotted in the Apex the other night, and did not work Sunday, too much whoopee. Mr. Louis A. Gray has been classed among the cleaners, as the whale among the minnows. If it's information you wish, ask Gray. If you owe Eddie Duncan, take my advice and pay off. For further information, I refer you to Peewee Small and the guy that bought the pants. We are still waiting for Melvin Moore to start that rattle trap to rolling. Ed. M. Thomas and A. Bowers had the floor in the drug store at 12th and Hooper in another one of their famous arguments. Mr. Bowers came out second best. EVERY TUB ! Xmas in that quaint little city of San Diego, but he is keeping the reason to himself, they say, that still water runs deep. H. L. Armstrong spent Xmas day in San Diego going from one house to another eating Xmas dinners. He could not fill all of his engagements and a few of the fair ladies brought him some turkey down to the train since then. I have found out that Mr. Armstrong can do more with a turkey leg, then the turkey can do with it when he is alive. The common inquiry now days is, when is the chinaman going to open up? If the average businessman could be assured of the support that the chinaman gets, he would never have to worry about the day receipt. T. Taft, postmaster of the Silver Fox Club, had to call on help to get all of his Xmas presents home that the San Diego Mamas gave him. Some class to that boy. Leaving here the night before Xmas the Porters on the Chief all hung up their stockings and went to bed. They did not have any passengers. Waiter Edge, regular line man on the Chief was angling for an extra car to Auga Calinte to take in the ponies. Mr. Briggs of Denver was in town last week and reports plenty of snow in Denver. Among the New Years resolutions B. F. Spivey popular Santa Fe red Cap has resolved that he will join the T. S. Club to start the new year right. E. G. Brooks, and Normand Steward, President, and Vice-President have been angling for Spivey's membership for the past year. Frank Parr is a paid up member, and Buddy Boy Grandison has been trying to get in the club for a long white, but the membership committee claims that after a investigation they have found out that Buddy Boy can not meet with the requirements. The report that the investigating committee brings back on Grandison is that he is not satisfied with being just a plain T. S. he insists on taking a higher degree and wants to go all the way. It takes three years membership to qualify for this degree and he naturally must be turned down. R. ANDERSON FORMER BANK ORIGERG NOW RED CAP R. Anderson, who started out on his career as a tourist car porter on the San Diego line then went from their to an officer in The Bank of Panama, which tailed recently.

Protests Barring of 2 Colored Tennis Stars EXCLUSION FROM JUNIOR NATIONAL TOURNAMENT BRINGS SHARP LETTER New York, Dec. 27.—Berring of two young colored tennis stars from the National Junior Indoor Tennis Tournament, by the the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association, today brought a sharp letter of protest to that body from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 69 Fifth Ave. One of the boys, Gerald L. Norman, Jr., is captain of the Flushing High School tennis team and that school's sole representative in the tournament. The other is Reginald Weir of the City College of New York tennis team. Entries of both boys were accepted an payment of their fees received and it was only when their names failed to appear in the draw published Sunday, that it became known that they had been excluded from the tournament. Gerald Norman, father of the boy excluded, reports that he was informed by Edward B. Moss, Executive Secretary of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association, that colored players were not permitted to take part in that body's tournaments. The letter written by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and addressed to Mr. Moss characterizes the barring of the boys as an expression of "clas and caste snobbery" such as is not relished by patrons of American sport. The letter signed by Robert W. Bagnall, Associate Secretary of the Association, is in full as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is informed that the United States Lawn Tennis Association has barred from the National Junior Indoor Tennis Tournament, two young men, Reginald Weir, of the City College Tennis team and Gerald L. Norman, Jr., captain of the Flushing High School team and that school's sole representative in the tournament. "The barring of these young men, we are informed, took place after they had paid their fees and after receipt of their payment had been acknowledged, on the ground that they are colored. Gerald Norman, father of the Flushing High School tennis captain, informs the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that you explicitly informed him that the United States Lawn Tennis Association did not permit colored players to participate in national tennis tournaments. "The irony of the present situation will become the more pointed when it is known that Mr. Norman is himself tennis coach at the Bryant High School and that some of the white boys he has coached have been admitted and will play in the tournament. "If the facts are as stated, and we are told the two colored noys' names were omitted from the draw published in the Sunday newspapers, the action of the United States Lawn Tennis Association constitutes an action unfair, unspoastmanlike, and calculated to degrade the sport you profess to cultivate and against which we as well as many other Americans, white and colored, wish to protest in the strongest terms. "Patrons of sport in this country do not relish the administration of public contests by a spirit of caste and class snobbery, and we are sure that the public when informed of the methods used by the United States Lawn Tennis Association, will be quick to characterize those methods in the way they deserve. We are therefore giving copies of this letter to the press in order that the question of the color and race bar in a sport supposed to draw from the best of the country can afford in youth and clean endeavor may be made a matter of open and public discussion." heath, he aransierred back to the coast again. The lucky Southern Pacific red who did not have to work on Xmas are as follows, J. T. Armstrong, W. Hughes, J. H. Wilson, A. Bankston, Geo. Taylor, W. H. Bacon, E. Dixon, A. Glover, H. Gory, F.

They have been raising hell about the lynching every time a Negro was lynched and putting it on a basis of being opposed to any mob violence but you don't hear a peep when it happens to be a white man instead of a Negro rapist. Alexander, the man in Atlanta that sent Governors Carlton a wire about the lynching in Quincy has not sent the governor of Texas any wire about them lynching a white man out there at all. All of which goes to show that all the bull they have spread against lynchings is not in the interest of the majority of the law but in the interest of the Negro rapists. Such rot as that make one want to vomit. Oh no, they did not believe in lynchings at all. Great gobs of protest sent out every time a man was lynched, provided same was a rapist but when white men are lynched for something besides rape, not a word of protest. And yet some of our Georgia papers have been silly enough to fall for it. This paper has never been hypocritical about this matter. When a man raps a woman, it follows that he will die the death of the dog that he is, and we lose no sleep over it. If a man knows what will happen to him and goes on and dares it to happen, why let it happen is all that can be done. Yet in vain have we watched for the usual protest about lynching since seeing the white man was lynched. But not "nary a word" which shows that it is all buncombe. Stock Market Crash Hurts Employment New York, Jan 1, by A.N.P.-The effects of the stock market crash are still being felt in Harlem. Many celebrated dining rooms have closed down forcing cooks and waiters out of work. This is also true in the business district where many houses Fecular odor of gas-fouled air, caused the landlady of Elliot Lewis, student in the College of Music, U. S. C., to investigate the cause. Her investigations brought about the discovery of Lewis, unconscious from the tumes of monoxide gas. Mr. Lewis came home from work tired. He disbroiled and then laid down for a few short minutes after lighting a small gas stove; he awoke some 20 hours later in the hospital. When he laid down he evidently neglected to open his windows. As a result, after the stove had burned for awhile, all of the oxygen was burned out of the air, consequently leaving only the deadly tumes of monoxide gas for the sleeping man to inhale. When his landlady opened the door, he was already unconscious, and but for the timely arrival of another roomer who employed artificial resuscitating means, things might have been different. Just about a year ago, another popular U. S. C. student, Nathanial Rucker died a victim of monoxide gas, under identical circumstances. After spending all of 14 hours at the Receivev Hospital, Lewis was taken to the home or his sister, Mrs. Ouda Lear, of 1213 N. Virgil St., Sunday night, December 32nd. Asked how he felt while hovering so near the point of death, he declared: "There wasn't anything unusual occurring, as far as sensations were concerned.
