Little acts of kindness, Little bits of mercy, Makes a good investment: Tn x 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 Mon- day at, the Probation Dept.. and his jase was brought to the attention of Mrs. Juanita Edwards who calted this office and appealed for assistance in finding a home for little Charles, to which we readliy 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 ut this office a young white woman ana man—a few years, T imagine, the woman's senior—carting a cute little iondling, whose big, somewhat weary black eyes, even though they had gaz- ed but two and a hali years on the restless tide of humanity, seemed to say: “l am_so tired, let me rest and be at ease.” When I questioned the woman and man who claimed to be Mr. and Mrs. HH. E. Briggs .of this city as to the parentage of the little boy, Mrs. Briggs claimed that he was her sis- ter's child ,whose husband supposed. ly white was found to be colored when the child was born, hence the child hac been deserted by both par- ents and subscquently left on her hands. The little boy clung to the woman with the sare tenderness that 2 chil clings to a mother. and when I called her attention to this she said tha she alse was fond of the child but Where she lived, the landlord had ordered that the colored child be removed from the premises. 4 Charles appears to be a fine littl fellow, deserving wf a home and par- ental ‘care, and ;anyone desiring to make a real New’ Years investment it a human being may do so by calling VApdike 9244.

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.

FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH-8TH AND TOWNE AVENUE-LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. The first Sunday in December marked the beginning of Christmas at Eighth and Towne Avenue Church under the pastorate of Rev. J. B. Isaacs, preaching a series of sermons on the Christ Child, for three consecutive Sundays. December 24th, Christmas Eye, bringing him nearer of a climax. The church sent out Christmas baskets and remembrances to the less fortunate and old ministers. Beginning at 9 o'clock the carols under the supervision of Rev. Isaacs and Miss Thelma Lowery rendered cheer to a goodly number of homes and organizations, this lasting until 2:45 a.m. Christmas. The choir was given a treat, one that was out of the ordinary, a wonderful and special prepared breakfast at 3 o'clock Christmas morning by the pastor, Rev. Isaacs, Prof. Bartlett and members were very grateful to the pastor. During the breakfast hour, Mrs. Martha City on behalf of the choir presented the director, Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett a beautiful gift; he in turn expressing his appreciation. At 4 o'clock, Christmas service. It was unusual. Vivid scenes, were portrayed by special lighting effects, which were well and ably handled by the Mrs. J. B. Isaacs. The Pastor delivered the Christmas message, which was seven minutes in length. The church was beautifully and artistically decorated by the new church club, L'Adorne, Mrs. Selvarina Feton, president. On Sunday, December 29th at 11 o'clock, a New Year's message was brought by the pastor, his theme was "Preparation for the New." Sunday evening at 7:30 the men had charge of the services under the supervision of Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett. It was one that shall be long remembered. Rev. Emanuel Hall preached the sermon.

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.

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. Aged Sleep Walker Freezes to Death Little Rock, Ark., Jan 1, By A.N.P. —John Jones, 65, was frozen to death during the cold spell when he walked in his sleep a distance of seven blocks from his home. He was found by a policeman and taken to a hospital where he lived for a few hours. Members o the Jones' family said he often walked in his sleep. Police said he was found clothed only in sleeping garments and his death was officially recorded as "freezing to death." ASSAULT New Orleans, La., Jan. 1, By A.N.

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.

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.

P. —Resorting to the time honored custom of the lowest type of criminal who blacks his face and commit crime and tries to throw suspicion on some innocent Negro, Vito Randallo, Italian, here, bandit, failed to carry through successfully this plan. Randallo, who it is said, adopted a Negro dialect while committing robberies, forgot to wash his face after holding up the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Store on Sharlevoix Avenue, stealing a pistol and $98. He was still in his makeup when detectives who tracked him through the snow to his home, found him with the stolen goods on him. E CITY---L. A. Announcement THE CHILDREN ARE READING A BOOK. MRS.

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.

Therese, five years old, and Dorothy, three, were overcome by smoke and taken to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment. An overheated stove was the cause of the fire. New York Daily Features Mrs. Bethune New York Daily Features Mrs. Bethune New York, Jan. 1 By A.N.P.—Mrs. Mary McLood Bethune of the Bethune Cookman College of Daytona, Florida, was the subject of a splendid article in the Saturday Graphic. The article praised Mrs. Bethune's work and lauded her efforts establishing the institution which bears her name in Dixie. Candidate For Liberian Post Takes To Air New York, Jan. 2.—One of the candidates for ministership to Liberia, Mr. James T. Simpson, was guest speaker over the radio station W. A. A. T. on the Negro Achievement Hour. 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.

Newspaper advertising is low-cost, productive, localized advertising.

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.

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. * * * * * 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. Pasadena News (By: CARL ECHOLS) DEATHS--- Mrs. Evalina Reces, of 912 Manzanita St., was buried Monday.

Dr. Carter was in charge. The body was buried by the James Woods Mortuary. A Mrs. Collins on Worcester Ave., was buried Monday. 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... Mr. Gilbs is a little better; he has been removed from the Pasadena Hospital to his home at 735 S. Fair Oaks. Miss Murrel Holland is still in poor health. Mrs. E. W. Moore is ill. Rev. Martin of the First A. M. E. Church is much better. He expects to be back in the pulpit Sunday morning. The Reverend was in an automobile accident.

Protests Barring of 2 Colored Tennis Stars - New York, Dec. 27.Berring of two young colored tennis stars from the National Junior Indoor Tennis Tosr- ‘pament, by the the U. 5. Lawn Ten- ‘nis Association, today brought a sharp letter of protest to that body from the ‘National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People, 69 Fifth Ave. One of the boys, Gerald L. Norman, Jr, is captain of the Flushing High School tennis team and thet school’s sole representative in the tournament. ‘The other is Reginald Weir of the City College of New York tenis team. Entries of both boys were accepted an Payment of their fees received and it was only when their names failed to arpear in the draw publish- ed 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. 8, Lawn Tennis Association, that colored play- ers were not permitted to take part in that body's tournaments. The letter written by the Netional 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 relish-| ed by patrons of American sport. The letter signed by Robert W. Bagnall, Associate Secretary of the Associa- tion, js in full es fololws: | “The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peorle is. infgrmed thet the United States Lawn Tennis Association has barred from. the National Junior Indoor Tegnis Tournament, two young men, Regin- ald Weir, of the City College Tennis team and Gerald L. Norman, Jr., cap tain of the Flushing High School tect and that school’s sole represen- tative in the tournament. “The barring of these young men, | we are informed, took place after thes had paid their fees and after re-_ ceipt of their payment had been ge- | knowledged, on the groand that they’ are colored. Gerald Norman, father of the Flushing High Sehool tennis | captain, informa, the Netional Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People that you explicitly informed him that tae United States Lawn Ten- nis Association did; not germit color ed players to participate in national tennis tournaments. | “The irony of the present situation will tecome the more pointed when, it is known taat Mr. Norman is him-| self tennis coach at the Bryant High School end that some of the white | boys he has coached have been ad-| mitted and will play in the tourna-| ment. | = “If the facts are as staied, and we | are told the two colored noys’ names were omitted from the draw publish- ed in the Sunday newspapers, the ac- | tion of the United States Lawn Ten-| nis Associstion constiyites an action hulair, unspoftemanitie, "and’ calor: lated 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 ‘pub- lic 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 ques- tion of the color amd race bar in a sport supposed to draw from the best of the country can efford in youth and clean endeavor may be made a matter of anen and mihlie dixcncainn 7 heath, he aransierred back to the coast again. ‘ .
