1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 DePreist Causes So. To Squirm VOLUME 42 - ON THE SIDEWALK - By C. A. B. SINCE THE President's family has been attending the Irving Street Friend's Assembly in Washington, large crowds have been drawn thither hence the trustees in order to keep from commercializing the atmosphere of the church have decided to no longer pass the collection plate, instead to ask the members to mail in their weekly contributions. It would be a financial tragedy for the average one of our churches if such procedure were voted the order of the day. THE CATALINA ISLAND gum magnate says there is a brighter day right around the corner for California prosperity. A few hours after this statement was sent abroad through the medium of one of our daily papers, a man came into this office, weary with job seeking, said he had about turned every corner in the city and as yet had not come to the one mentioned by Mr. Wrigley. IF THE WEATHER keeps up at the pace it is going now, we had all just aswell pack our grips and go back East. It is reported that snow fell in San Diego, Wednesday night and it is cold enough in Los Angeles to expect most anything in the way of snow or sheet. --- IT IS SAID that when he was a lad an occasion arose in his life when it was necessary for Booker T. Washington, the secion of Tuskegee, to fight a fellow schoolmate. "This fellow, said Mr. Washington, was apparently my superior in muscular strength; he had dogged me for so long, that it was generally understood among the other boys that I feared him. Finally one day, he put his threats into action and started in to give me the flogging of my life. At first I was overwhelmed with fear as the young giant rained blows on every part of my body. While at first I was unable to fight back, however, my mind was working faster than my hands; I realized that if I let this fellow fulfill his intention of humiliating me in the presence of others, I would bring about a condition in my life which I could never overcome. My fear turned to shame, my shame to determination to win this battle. I soon got the best of my opponent, rolled him over in a ditch where I held him fast, bathing him in mud and generally walloping my giant until he begged for mercy; but as I held him fast, I realized that in order to keep him in the ditch it would be necessary for me to stay also. So after I was satisfied that the battle was mine, I arose, helped my friend to his feet, shook hands and was on my way." Can America keep pace with the trend of civilization by keeping the Negro in the ditch? Anyhow it seems to be the opinion of some of our officials, both national and local, that in order to advance white supremacy, it is necessary to crush the Negro. A true demonstration of this attitude was that of Judge Vicini when a few day ago he decided that Mrs. Sally Trainor. Negro preacher, would have to live to be more than a hundred years old if she ever hoped to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under her own vine and fig tree, which happened to be her residence at 160 East 45th street. Under Judge Vicini's mandate, which is said to be the first of its kind in the State of California, Mrs. Trainor is called upon to leave her home and take to the tall timbers. And now, like the lowly Nazarene, Mrs. Trainor goes forth with no place to lay her head. At this time we are unable to trace Judge Vicini's lineage but the gentleman's name smacks of a kinship with Mussoulini and evidently neither he nor his forefathers helped to build this stately government that we call our own America, and yet with the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, the first of which was formed to make the Negro a free man, the second gave him the right to vote and the third granted him equality as a citizen with any other citizen of the United States—lacofe him for his perusal. Judge Vicini assumes the right of dictatorship to the extent that he rules this woman out of her home, which to our mind is equivalent to taking away from her every right and privilege granted to her under the Constitution of the United States of America. It is indeed time when the Negroes of California should speak out in no uncertain terms against such officals as this Judge Vicini, who is placed in office by the popular vote of the people. We have and are still swallowing a whole lot of things supposedly under the 'law that should so nauseate us as to cause us to spine them out and determine that even though we starve to death in our fight for equality of (Please Turn To Page Four) Kip Really Sorry To Leave Alice (Bv: A. N. P.) Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 7, Leonardo Kip Rhinelander who was granted a divorce here from his Negro wife, Alice Jones Rhinelander, was not the jubilant young man he was expected to be when the decree was announced, and those who observed his dejected appearance as he left the courtroom, expressed the opinion that "Kip was really sorry to leave and lose Alice." Young Rhinelander established residence in this state in order to secure the divorce. At the time the move was originated it was freely expressed by those in the know that it was not his desire but that of his family that he should be divorced from his colored bride, who was subjected to many indignities in the annulment suit some years ago. His attitude following the decree, which is not valid in the State of New York and other states bore out this contention. Counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander announced upon receipt of the information that Rhinelander had secured a divorce that the evidence presented by Kip in Nevada would be used against him in the separation suit which has been filed by his wife in New York and that the suit against the elder Rhinelander would be pushed to the limit. (By: A. N. P.) St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 7.—Pickney Hollis, 70-year-old recluse, was found murdered Saturday night in his room in the rear of 2641 Pine street. There were twelve deep wounds in his face and head, apparently inflicted with a hatchet found nearby. The old man had been dead for many hours. A broken chair and several broken milk bottles found in the room indicated the aged man had struggled with his assailant before having been hacked to death. A bank book, watch chain and papers also found on the floor by the body, the pockets in the clothing which empty, led police to believe robbery to have been the motive. Neighbors were unable to furnish information as to the identification of the murderer or of the circumstances. Haiti Calm On Surface; Unrest Underneath Port au Prince, Haiti, Jan. 7—Haiti is peaceful enough on the surface, but the republic is seething with discontent and dissatisfaction that might easily be fanned into an eruption. In the north alcohol and tobacco taxes are ranking the peasants. In the coffee producing country around Jacnel the recently adopted coffee standardization law is an added grievance. Complaints are heard everywhere against grafting, communal officials and corrupt courts. There is also widespread criticism of methods employed by Dr. George H. Freeman, director of the Service Technique d'Agriculture. The peasant believes the taxes, which, it is claimed, ruined the alcohol and tobacco industry, were devised solely to provide easy money for the present Haitian administration and American occupation to squander on useless enterprises if not pocketed by grafters. N.A.A.C.P. To Hold Installation of Officers Sunday afternoon, January 12, the N. A. A. C. P., will hold its installation of officers at the A. M. E. Zion church, Pico and Paloma. Mr. Paul R. Williams will deliver an address, telling of his recent trip to Washington as a member of the Negro National Memorial Committee. There will be other speakers of prominence on the program and a meeting of interest is assured. Immediately following the installation, the women's auxiliary will have its annual election of officers. The public is invited. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1930 Auto Dealer To Fly To New York Show (Bv: A. N. P.) Chicago, Ill., Jan. 7—Homer Roberts, president of Roberts-Campbell Motor Company of this city, widely known head of the country's largest automobile agency, has made a plane reservation to fly to New York next Saturday. Mr. Roberts who has had phenomenal success here as an authorized representative of the Hupmobile Company, is making the trip to New York to attend the New York automobile show at the Grand Central Palace. Chamber Of Commerce Gives School $10,000 (By: A. N. P.) Salisbury, N. C., Jan. 7—The Salisbury Chamber of Commerce gives $10,000 to the Price Memorial Campaign in response to an urgent appeal of President Trent. This brings the campaign within $25,000 of the total amount to be raised—$250,000. The final reports will be made by the Episcopal areas here December 31. Bishop J. S. Caldwell of Philadelphia is Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Dr. E. A. Robinson of the class of 1911 gives $500 more to the drive, making a total of $1,500 he has given in this effort. He and Dr. W. H. Higgins of Providence, R. L. are the largest contributors of the Alumni. The latter has already given $1,600. A similar amount has been given by Bishop E. M. Jacobs of Brooklyn, N.Y. All three of these men are members of the Trustee Board of the College. In commending these our largest givers the Chairman and Trustees, are not unmindful of the fact that of the $68,000 given by the colored people, the bulk of it came out of the pockets of small means, and they deserve special mention and thanks. Youth Held For Father's Murder (Bv: A. N. P.) Magnolia, Miss., Jan. 7.—Gus Washington, Jr., is in the county jail awaiting preliminary trial in connection with the killing of his father, Gus Washington, Sr., and Frank Jones, about five miles northeast of Summit. it is alleged the youth took part in the shooting in which his father was mortally wounded. Jones was killed instantly. The prisoner was permitted to attend the funeral of his father in the custody of Deputy Sheriff Adolphus Ellzey, who returned him to the county jail. Marathon Runner Is Jailed As Wife Beater (By: A. N. P.) Hamilton, Ont., Jan. 7—Phillip Granville, marathon runner and twice winner of prizes in Pyle's coast to coast bunion derby, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault charges on his wife. Sentence was suspended. He was required to post a $300 bond to refrain from further violence toward his wife. Granville told reporters he was in Indiana when engaged in the bunion derby. Morris Heads St. Louis Y.M.C.A. (Bv: A. N. P.) B. F. A. N. F. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 7—O. Morris has been selected to fill the executive secretaryship of the Pine Street Y. M. C. A. here to fill the vacancy created when Harry K. Craft left to become secretary at Pittsburgh. Mr. Morris had been boys' work secretary here for three years and had created an enviable record in that capacity. The friends and fraternal brothers of Eddie Collins, well-known cafe owner and proprietor of a prosperous vegetable market at 21st and Hooper Ave., were shocked to hear of his demise on last Tuesday morning. He had been up and around for just a few days previous. He was taken ill on the previous Friday and steadily grew worse within severe attack of pneumonia and passed away last Tuesday morning at 6:15 A. M. His funeral will be held from the Chapel of the Angelus Funeral Home at 1 o'clock P. M. Saturday, under the apsices of Garrison Lodge, No. 45, F. & A. M. and Golden West Lodge, No. 86, I. B. P. O. E. of W. of which organizations he was an active member. In his loss the community loses one of its most active and useful citizens, he was of a likeable disposition and was known far and near for his genial smile and readiness to do something for his fellowman. It was this writer's privilege to know Eddie Collins very well and we can testify to his genuine sincerity of mind and purpose to be of service to mankind. He was 47 years of age and leaves to mourn his loss a devoted wife, a loving daughter, a father and brother in New Orleans and a host of friends who join with the grief-streaked family in their sad bereavement. BY: WM. PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) We have always held that the word "charity" is the biggest misnomer in the dictionary. Now, here is Mayor Walker of New York (City) publishing it all over the world that he is going to give back to the people, as "charity," what the people will be compelled to give him as excess salary. It is like this: Mayor Walker was being paid $25,000 a year, which is as much as the Governor of the State of New York is paid, who, by the way, is the highest paid governor in the nation. But Mayor Walker and his administration voted to raise the mayor's salary to $40,000 a year for the next four years. This extra $15,000, per annum will, of course, be paid by the people,—but the mayor is to get credit for "doing charity" in handing it back to them,—on his own terms and for the promotion of his own popularity and party interests. This is the most direct exhibition of American "Pharisiaaam" yet on record; just as if I lift a certain amount of money, which I do not need out of your pocket, and then give it back to you, and expect your adulation and everybody's else praise of me as a "charitable" person, although I took the money from you without your ensent, and albeit I mean to give it back in ways that suit me, not necessarily in ways approved by you. This is certainly a smooth trick: it beats even the "charity" buncombe of our great financier-philanthropists. It takes a politician to add the finishing touches. We have long been accustomed to the spectacle of great capitalists, who might shear a few thousand small "sheep" on Wall Street of a fe wmillion of their dollars and then hand it out in libraries, with the capitalists' name carved on al of them; or of those who, with a blowing of trumpets, endowed a few colleges or other institutions and then raised the price of oil for a hundred million people. While the people were agape, admiring the "philanthropist's generosity, he put his hands back in all of their pockets and took out a bit more than he had "donated." But there is no thing to be added: Mayor Walker, end his kind, are just that much better than the other kind who "take it and keep it." Brother Kills Sister Accidently (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, Ln., Jan. 7.—Marion Ogwen, age 4, was shot and killed when a shotgun in the hands of her brother, Jacob, 13, accidentally discharged. The boy had found the gun and thinking it unloaded, was playing with it when the gun discharged the shot striking the girl in the left shoulder and arm. Alabama Normal Plans Celebration (By: A. N. P.) Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 7. -Dr. E. B. Huckabee of the class of 1884 and a practicing physician of Birmingham, Alabma, will deliver the annual Founder's Day address at the Alabama State Teachers College on Sunday afternoon, February 9, according to announcement today by President H. Council Trenholm. These exercises will feature brief tributes on the lives of the late presidents Peterson and Trenholm, special musical renditions under the direction of Mr. Willis James, and the address by this student of the days of the late William B. Patterson, a Scotchman who was president of the institution for thirty-eight years. The Alabama State Teachers College is the oldest state-supported teacher-training institution for Negroes in the entire United States, having been established by legislative enactment in 1874. The first graduating class (1580) will commemorate their ninth anniversary here in June at exercises, which will lecture the dedication of two new buildings now in process of erection at a cost of three thousand dollars. Alumni and students will be making their first reports on the Equipment Campaign for this new dormitory of 91 bedrooms and for the new college classroom building at the Founder's Day exercises on February 9. Doomed Youths Given Stay of Execution (By: A. N. P.) Columbia, S. C. Jan. 7—Harold Haynes, 15, and Freddie Gibbs, 17 convicted murders, who were scheduled to be executed January 10, have been granted a thirtyday stay of execution by Governor Richards in order to investigate the case to examine the mental condition of the youths. Haynes and Gibbs were convicted of murdering a white insurance agent and since the trial have told several conflicting stories of the affair. Haynes is alleged to have made a statement exonerating Gibbs and latter to ave repudiated this statement as well as a previous confession. A delegation of ministers and a group of white and colored citizens called on the governor last Thursday and urged him to stay the execution until further investigation could be made. It is the belief of many that the boys are mentally unbalanced and the petitioners have pointed out that clemency should be shown the pain because each one is well under 21 years of age. GIRL RUNS AMUCK; WOUNDS TWO (By: A. N. P.) Hopkinsville, Ky. Jan. 7—Edna Rudolph, a 16-year-old girl, ran amuck here Monday morning on Third Ave. and seriously wounded two small girls with a pair of scissors. Luella, Leavelle, 13. was stabbed thirteen times in the head and body and her sister, Magdalene, 10, received seven wounds both wreasted to the local hospital, where they were treated. (Bv: A. N. P.) Raleigh, N. C. Jan. 7.—Much alarm has been sounded over the proposed unionization of textile laborers throughout the South. The alarmists express the opinion that if the Federation of Labor is permitted to organize the white workers, a like movement will be started by the Communists to organize Negro workers and due to the feeling that Negroes will work for lower wages they will be given preference. During the recent trial of textile rioters, it was shown: that the Communists had already been busy creating sentiment in favor of the organization of white and black workers and an effort will be made to prevent such an organization, according to reports in this section. The announcement from New York City, that Thomas F. McMahon, president of the Textile Union, was urging the unionization of the workers in the South, served to intensify the fear of the employees of this section. In urging the organization of workers in the South, Mr. McMahon declared that the only economic salvation in the South lay in the organization of the workers. Plan Merger Of Two Arkansas Colleges Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 7—Haygood College, a school operated at Pine Bluff by the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church and Philander Smith College A. M. E. School of this city are to be merged under the terms of an agreement which was given approval in a meeting here last Friday. Joining in the conference which worked out the details of the plan were Bishop N. C. Cleaves and Dr. J. A. Bray of the C. M. E. Church. C. C. Neal president of Haygood, Bishop M. W. Clair, coloreed bishop of the M. E. Church, and G. C. Taylor, president of Philander Smith College. Ex-Governor George Donaghey, who is a member of the trustee board of both colleges was present. A commission of ten members from each church was appointed to work out the details of the merger which will then be submitted to the general conference of both denominations. Officer A. MacClanahan Gets A Break Officer A. MacClanahan Gets A Break Officer Arthur McClanahan, convicted after a sensational trial in Judge Carles Hardy's court a few weeks past, was granted a new trial by that jurist on last Monday when the judge ruled upon the omition which had been submitted to him. He also admitted the defendant to freedom upon his own recognizance. The District Attorney immediately served notice of appeal from the judgment of the court. This leaves the case in status quo until a decision on the appeal has been heard and decision rendered in the Appellate Court. If the appeal is sustained, the defendant must begin to serve his sentence. If the appeal is denied, the case will come back to the Superior court for retrial. Money Making Plot Fails Holly Springs, Miss. Jan. 7—Visions of easy money faded New Year's Day for V-una Ford and Barney Weeks. They bought an old white mule for $5 and decided to sell it to the Illinois Central Railroad, and completed the deal by tying the animal on the railroad tracks, shopping to collect when it was killed by a train. Their careful plans worked out—almost. The mule was killed, but an investigation revealed their blunder of tying the animal to the rails. CONGRESSMAN IN MAIDEN SPEECH HITS BELOW MASON-DIXON LINE Congressman Oscar DePriest in his maiden speech on the floor of the House, Wednesday, declared that he is glad to see the Democrats of the House so very solicitous about the black people in Haiti. He stated, "We in America would like, in some of the states of this country to have the right of self determination also." Mr. DePriest was referring toward conditions in the south. *Mr. DePriest's speech preceded the voting on a resolution authorizing of the commission asked for by President Hoover to go to Haiti and investigate conditions there. The resolution, which was passed by an overwhelming vote in the House and now goes to the Senate empowers the President to select a commission of not more than seven members which shall report to him within six months. By an amendment in the House, which was offered by Representative William B. Bankhead, Democrat, of Alabama, the commission at the same time will transmit a copy of its report to the Congress. The commission will embody in its report such recommendations as they may deem wise concerning the policies of the United States in Haiti. Debate upon the resolution was begun as soon as Representative Bertrand H. Snell, Republican, of New York, reported a resolution from the rules committee providing for the immediate consideration of the resolution authorizing the Haitian commission and limiting general debate to three hours equally divided between those favoring and opposing the resolution. Representative Harold Knutson, Republican, of Minnesota, recalled that President Harding appointed a high commissioner to superside the United States minister to Haiti without any express permission from Congress. He asked the question if the President can appoint one commissioner, why not seven? "If you want to get the wholehearted co-operation of the Haitian people, there should be appointed on this commission of seven at least two outstanding colored American citizens" declared Representative Hamilton Fish. Republican of New York. FACE QUESTION "It would be very unfortunate to inject the race question into this problem." stated Representative Geo. Huddleston, Democrat, of Alabama, who led the opposition. "The strange thing about the Haitian situation," he said, "is that we find here upon this floor men who are the spiritual and political descendants of those who conferred political rights upon the Negroes of the South, refuse to intrust similar rights to the Negroes of Haiti. The Negroes of Haiti have had 120 years of experience in self-government." Mr. DePriest said: "I occupy a peculiar position on this particular question. There have been so many contradictory statements on both sides of the House, it does appear to me that we should vote to appoint this Commission. WANT ENLIGHTENMENT "Most members of the House are not familiar with the conditions in Haiti, like myself and we all want enlightenment from a commission that will make an impartial investigation. "I was very much pleased at the suggestion made by the gentleman he recommended that one or two from New York (Mr. Fish) when members of the commission should be from the racial group that I am identified with, and I am not surprised to hear other gentlemen object to it. "The Haitian people consist of about two and a half million black people and about 125,000 or 130,000 belong to the educated class, and what the people of America wish is that the opinion of the great mass of the common people be ascertained, so that the President can more correctly carry out the program of America in wishing to help these people become capable of self government. "I appreciates also the great work that has been accomplished since we have occupied that country since the year 1915, along general improve- (Plains Turn To Page Five) How to Make Powder Stay On EVERYTHING BEGINNING OF THE WEEK 1930 will no doubt prove one of the most profitable years to those who lay some claim to be regular followers of this rocket. Everything polites toward this happy end. Mr. Chus, Butler, or the Central Casting Corps announces that he is nearing the end of completing one of the most trying registration systems that takes in every conceivable type of Black man. This, no doubt, out of his way should give him more time to look after the welfare of those who actually represent the motion picture fraternity, a thing that has been for some time sadly neglected. The boys certainly will appreciate this. With attention diverted in this direction again, we can certainly look for some noteworthy ascendancy of Negroes in the motion picture ladder of fame. There are Stephen Fetchis a plenty in our group. The supply is not near exhausted; 1930, will no doubt see them blossom forth. Another angle in which one might visualize in some degree of hopefulness is the fact that most of the major studios have purchased and are continuing to buy, stories in which Negro life abounds. Among some of this class of studios which have started or about to start pictures with Negro backgrounds are: MetroGoldwyn-Mayer studios at Culver City and United Artists studios at Hollywood. M.-G.M. studio officials have just recently announced the return of a company from a location trip of over a years duration in Africa, where they went totoosh actual scenes for their current production "Trader Horn." Hundreds of colored extras will no doubt be used in this picture to match those scenes made in Africa. United Artists studios under the able direction of D. W. Griffith, will film "Abraham Lincoln" again. Here hundreds will find the employment lucrative and highly recursive. All hall 1930. We are off' Oscar Smith's latest films will soon be released. Both were completed at Paramount Studios. The extremely popular race actor will soon be seen in William Powell's first staring picture, "Street of Chance." His work with Powell in this movietone production should by far surpass the little stuttering actor's best work, covering the past six months. The other picture made at the same studio, starring Nancy Carroll, has changed its working title for this picture originally, "Come out of the Kitchen." Theatergoers, will however see it under the releasing title, "Honey." Columbia Films Company are making a picture in which no doubt, many of the better known extras might carry on a few day checks. Thus far, Spencer Williams, the real live assistant director, for most of the independent studios, as far as Negro extras are concerned, has about six people out there working in some ```markdown ``` Southern scenes in a forthcoming United production. Among whom are: Alice Nichols, Irene Allen and little Perllee Colman. x x x Two Black Crowes, famous on the stage and the radio, have branched out in the movie field. They have been retained at the Paramount studio, where they are now busily engaged in completing scenes on their current picture "Two Black Crowes in the A. B. F". Quite a few of the Avenue picture gentry will be seen stirring their stunt in this picture. It is almost entirely a race picture.

When "Why Wives Go Wrong" has been chosen by Producer Robert Levy for the farewell production of the famous Lafayette Players at the Lincoln Theater starting next Monday. Te sudden closing of the Lafayette Players' engagement was occasioned by other plans which Mr. Levy has in mind for his artists but which he has not yet publicly announced. This production "Why Wives Go Wrong" has been termed "a ormatic thunderbolt" and it is an accurate description of the play. From the first line to the final fall of the curtain it is packed full of dramatic punches and surprises, and brings before the audience a vital question-that is effecting the domestic happiness of thousands of American homes. For many wives do go wrong; that much is a matter of public record in the divorce courts, but the underlying reason is not easily reached. When it was first produced in New York, the play created a tremendous sensation, for it probes with daring and caustic frankness into the intimate cause of domestic unappiness. Whether or no the author, Ralph Rettering, has reached the correct answer to the question is a matter of opinion. Women, for the most part, agree with the author. Men, perhaps because it places a great deal of the responsibility on them, do not agree with the author, but they at least are given food for thought. "Why Wives Go Wrong" is essentially one of those eternal triangle dramas. A husband, suspecting his wife of having an affair with his best friend, turns her out of the house. When events finally make him see the injustice of his actions, he pleads for her return. She tells him that his neglect of her, his remaining away both day and night on the pretext of business, is responsible for whatever she may have done. How the author concludes the story makes a thrilling climax. Laurence Criner, favorite of last year and considered one of the finest actors on the American stage, will be seen in the leading role of "Why Wives Go Wrong." This role will give Mr. Criner a great opportunity for heavy dramatic work of the kind in which he established his wide popularity last year. Supporting him in great roles will be Andrew Bishop, Cleo Desmond, Charles Olden, Rupert Marks, Billy Andrews and Theresa Brooks. If you are a husband or a wife, or Zack, lays his plans and begins to move; big things move also. Watch him men.....That deadly whispering campaign. This time it is directed against a very nice young lady. Although there is absolutely no truth in matter relating to an asserted compromise with a young man at a fashionable New Year's party, yet these vultures persist in their scandalous veiled conversations. That same young man is so widely listed as the man in the case could very easily stop these wagging tongues. A Gentleman would!

Carolynne left nothing to the imagination with her wonderful numbers. The former Cotton Club star did three numbers that took them right out of their seats. "Digga Digga Do," "Aousiana" and "Baby, Look What You Done To Me" just about stopped the show altogether. And oh yes, Miss Carolynne did "That's Why They Call Me Shine"—and oh, how that 'tall mamma can go on these numbers! Billy Andrews is master of ceremonies again and Billy has been voted the personality kid himself and no less. How that boy throws back his head and sings "Wouldn't It Be Wonderful" is a caution. The kid would put Rudy Valentino to shame and still no less. FAST MOVING CHORUS In between acts the chorus did burning up numbers and show talt bunch of girls can go. Mitchel and Redman, the two youngest hooferers on the West Coast and these two boys are young in the way of the show game, but they can dance with the best of them. Grant and Hall, a well-matched eccentric team, had the house in an uproar with their clever taps. BETTER THAN THE TWQ BLACK CROWS Lasses Brown and his team mate John Larkin are better than the two Black Crows, because the boys are much more natural in their actions and they have that black face down pat. These two boys really pulled off some clever stuff, rath risquae, but good just the same. Miss Cleo Desmond comes to the fore as the school teacher in the country school and what a school. One boy drops his apple and happens to see the teacher's knee. He tells the and is sent home for a week. Another is sent home for a month. Lasses Brown drops something and he goes and gets hat and coat and the teacher asks him where is he going and he says he is going home and stay forever. Now draw your own conclusions. Andrew Bishop, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Rena Gonzoes, Barrington Carter and the three daughters are hot stuff in the fairy story. It's about a fairy Prince. You don't need any more. Mosby's hot to death band went over big as usual. New Orleans, La., Jan. 6. By A.N.P. —Andrew Miller has been arrested and held for investigation following the death from a bullet wound of his common law wife, Alice Miller. The woman was found dead in the bedroom of her home with a pistol by her side. Miller told officers she ended her own life. Mr. Curtis Carpentier, formerly connected with the West Coast Theatre Chain and manager of the Lincoln Theatre, is now assistant Manager of the Apex Night Club. Genial Curtis, as he is known to his many friends, is adding Mr. Curtis Mosby in running the Club. Mr. Carpentier is Curtis's right hand man, and is bringing the club back to standard. Mr. Carpentier knows the show business from A to Z, and beyond a doubt, will be a great help to Curtis Mosby and his great night Club, voted by many to be the best on the Pacific Coast excepting none. Mr. Mosby's new assistant has had a varied career. Not only has he been manager of a theatre, but he managed the first race hotel in the city, The Bronx. The host of friends that Curtis had formed at the play house was indeed sorry to see him go, but he hopes to see them just as often at the Apex Night Club, where he will give them his personal attention. Chorus Beauty Slashes Discarded Actor-Lover DAISY BOONE GAINS NEW LOVE AND NOTORIETY BY HER ACTIONS Sam Harris, well known vaudeville actor, was perhaps painfully, but not, seriously injured last Thursday Jan. 2. He was slashed in a knife cuel with Miss Daisy Boone, former sweetheart, and member of the Jockey Club chorus. Miss Boone justifies her actions, by asserting she merely used necessary means to repell the advances of Harris, whose love she no longer required. Harris reuses to make any statements. It appears that the trouble between the estranged pair, reached its climax New Year's Eve, at the Jockey Club, where Miss Boone works. Prior to this it seems, Sam, was plainly suffering some bad effects, due to some of his back-biting friends, Billy Andrews, a prominent member of the Lafayette Players now playing at the local Lincoln theatre, here was suspected. He did not appear to care, he became one of the most assidious patrons at the mite club. New Year's Eve, they both evidently resolved to test their strength, with the charming chorine. Andrews planning no doubt, to sweep her off her faltering feet Harris, in one last vain attempt to regain his slipping place in her heart. The result, saw Billy Andrews, and Sam Harris, in a dramatic scene that almost brought the noted pair to blows and Billy Andrews, the dramming Daisy Boone, hitched to his sides. Sam Harris, with Sam Marmillion, recently formed one of the best dance teams seen here on vaudeville time. They were also noted for their motion picture work. Miss Boone, is a new arrival here from Chicago. Atty. and Mrs. Ivan Johnson had as their guest over the Holidays Miss Dorothy Fisher of Berkeley, Calif.

We would like to see our group, learn the purpose of the ballot and use it properly. We would like to see the Golden State Insurance Co. increase its policy holders two-fold. We would like to see Central Avenue dotte with more business of a racial identity. We would like to see our young folks spend more of their time in acquiring trades and business education instead of learning how to shake a foot, handle a cue and smoke cigarettes. Of course there are many other things but these are som of them. Few folks know that in the Imperial Valley they pay an expert watermelon picker $50,00 a day. Looks easy to pick 'em but in reality it's a science, that is our Caucasian brother has made it so. And the little brown man from the Philipine Islands has come several thousand miles and found opportunity waiting. He has made himself a necessity in the melon business and gets 5 to 6 dollars a day handling cantaloupes in the summer ni the Imperial Valley and 10 to 12 dollars a day in the winter working in Santa Barbara hulling peas. Too bad paved streets, electric lights and entertainment have such a hold on the Negro. It causes him to collect liabilities while others collect assets. DO YOU KNOW? DO YOU KNOW?

That in Britain a Chinese movie actress can not be kissed by an English actor in a movie that is being made in England. It is a law in Britain. The Chinese actress is Anna May Wong. That fish industry in the United States started in 1878 when Daniel Amen presented some Chinese goldfish to a fish commission. That fruit canning has been single varieties, but the canning of mixed fruits for salad use is a new development. That Candy salesmen don't like hot weather because it lessens the consumption for candy. That electricity moves at the rate of 11,600,000 miles a minute. That Cecil Rhodes is the founder of Rhodesia in Africa. That dynamite was invented by Alfred Berhard Noble donor of the Noble prizes. That helium gas is used in airships now. It will not explode.

That the new Diesel airplane engines burn the same grade of oil you use in your furnace if you have one. That there is more golf treasure buried in the earth or lost in the sea than in circulation. That about 35,000 Canadians who have emigrated to the United States return every year to make permanent homes in the Dominion. That almost a quarter of the land surface of the earth consists of deserts. That the labor government in England is trying to remove all speed limits from highway travel. That nearly 150,000 western acres went under irrigation this year. That what it costs to a battleship for one day, would send 2,000 boys and girls to school for a year. That in Hungary all school girls must wear sailor blouses as part of the school uniform. That in Tokio a bridge is being built to connect 3 streets on opposite side of a river. The bridge is Y shaped. That Prince Albert, national park Canada, is 70 miles by forest trial from the nearest auto road, and not far from the artic circle. Farming in Germany is wholly electrified. That over 85 per cent of the ships sunk by submarines in the war were not torpedoed but sunk by gunfire. That another one of those people who walk in their sleep, walked one day when it was really cold, so he froge to death.

Eight years ago, the church was not identified with the foreign mission board, but today the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church is on record as a regular contributor to foreign mission. Under the leadership of Rev.

Seventh William McMahon's Market Digest Late news comes to hand that steel activity is showing a gain over last week and that prices continue firm with encouraging prospects for business for the beginning of the year. Oil and rail reports are unchanged from last week, some sections reporting a heavier rail traffic and a lessening of petroleum inventories, and other sections making adverse reports. Building construction is holding its own and motor manufacturing is dull. The value of exports has jumped 45 per cent, above that of a year ago as currently published by the Port of New York authority, and it gains from other parts of the country are not all as high, yet a gain is conceded to be general among all. What is unsettled, there is a slump in tin futures, copper is holding to its price levels of 18 cents, coffee is higher, bliss are lower, raw sugar has declined, as also has silk, rubber values have recorded and retail trade shows gains in all sections among chain and department stores. The money market is easier, with time funds at 4% per cent, for all maturities. Current clearing house statement showed exchanges of $1,674,000,000, and balance of $165,000,000, and a Federal Reserve Bank credit balance of $137,000,000. There seems to be no definite price trend on the New York Stock Exchange as the public seems leath to enter the market with much trading enthusiasm either as bulls or bears. It would seem that in view of so many favorable circumstances people with funds would take advantage of the many investment bargains now to be found in the lists of all the reputable exchanges. Yields are certainly attractive, money is low and so are prices. Besides, consider the impetus that the Hoover conference must give to all industry in view of the enormous expansion programs promised by the conferences. Even without such stimulation, corporations are recording earnings gains and voting extra dividends, seemingly as a matter of vogue or habit. All these favorable factors must soon reflect themselves in stock prices. Day Adventist, in Woods' Undertaking parloys on South Vernon. Friendship Bartist, Cor. Dayton and Delacay.

Mr. Dotson is survived by wife, Mrs. Edith Dotson, a nephew, Charles English and a niece, Carrie Carry, both of Chicago; two nieces in Brooklyn, New York and a niece in Philadelphia. The body was handled by the James Woods Mortuary; Dr. W. D. Carter preached the funeral. Sick— Mrs. E. W. Moore and Misses Norma and Madelyn Hughes are better. Rev. Martin of the First A., M.

Emancipation Celebration If you were not present at the Emancipation celebration at Metropolitan church New Year's night you missed a grand treat. The Metropolitan choir, accompanied rendered several timely numbers. The audience and the rare treat of singing both Star Spangled Banner and the Negro National Anthem. Rev. Lawson delivered the prayer: Rev. Kiddle read the scripture text and Rev Haynes was master of ceremonies. Mrs. C. A. Puss of The California Eagle read the Emancipation Proclamation and Dr. Isaacs gave the evening address. The Doctor placed his greatest emphasis upon post Civil War status of the Negro rather than on the warrior times. He denounced the mere nary leaders of the race that would sell our birthrights for a mess of pottage * * * said he. "We must modernize our religious institutions to meet the changing times" * * * "It is deplorable that our students are not encouraged to attend higher institutions of learning in longer numbers than do attend them." His talk was fluent yet simple and to the point. Humor and timely illustrations were nicely applied throut his address. Though the doctor emphasized the importance of separate schools (a matter in which the writer differs for obvious reasons) notwithstanding his talk was well received. It was instructive and inspiring. Dr. Moore and the assisting ministers could quite profitably hold similar interdenominational programs with much success.

For terms see— GEO. W. MORROW and S. C. McCLEAN BUILDERS and FINANCIERS Sick— I am a constant reader of the Pasadena column. I enjoy it and feel that it could be used to help render much civile and social good for we colored Pasadenians. With this view do I write the following: The white lendors have many reasons for not wanting to rent houses to Neerroes. For instance, I live in a mixed neighborhood. In this neighborhood there are several colored families with numerous children. The youngsters (child-like) roam the streets like wild. Passing autoists and pedestrians are often nearly struck by stones hurled by these dusky men (and women) of tomorrow. The girls engage in these rock battles with the skill and primitive wildness of the boys. Not content with jeopardizing the safety of passersby, these little creatures strew boulders and cans over the sidewalks in such numbers that walking is often madedifficult, not to say, disgusting. I blame the parents for such conduct of the children. When we take pride in civic and personal orderliness and tidiness then and not until then, can we expect the white man to respect us. Because some white children act as hoodlums and little savages is no reason why we should allow our children to set rude bad examples before the public. Yours in earnest. THE OBSERVER.

E-321n St., Phone, HU. 3419 or VA. 1221.] THE CARE OF OUR BABIES (Continued) Several weeks ago we helped our baby choose its mother and father. And it succeeded in getting parents who had good health and a strong body and sound mind and stable nerves to pass on as a heritage to this our little unborn body. Having secured normal, well parents, who both can give the prospective child sound tissue cells at its conception to little embryo is well starteo with a marvelous foundation. But the foundation is only the beginning of a building and good heritage is only the beginning of a baby. For nine months the baby must grow on the inside of its warm little room within the mother's body. What shall it have to live on? What shall it be given to grow on, and to develop into a "full-fledged" full-term baby child? Just as soon as mother receives the mysterious message that little one is coming from a far off land to dwell within her home and heart she should begin intelligent preparations for its care and development. No mother should walk one step of the important and dangerous journey of prenatal life without placing herself under an honest and efficient physician for instruction and care. THOROUGH EXAMINATION NECESSARY The first step in assuring our prospective baby health and happiness is a thorough examination of its mother early in the prenatal stage of the child. This is usually the first thing that the doctor does when the patient goes to the office. The teeth should be examined thorough and well or the physician may refer the patient to a dentist to have this done. Next the throat and tonsils are carefully examined. Many mothers begin the critical journey through the nine months of pregnancy with their teeth and throat in a very unhealthy condition. These facts of infection as they are called serve to poison the entire system and thus it is impossible for the mother to have good blood to pass on to our little one who is entirely dependent upon her for its every ounce of blood and tissue. Thus at the very outset of pregnancy every woman should have a careful examination of feet and tonsilsh. Often in the early months of pregnancy the dentist can save a tooth which would be utterly lost should the mother wait until the end of pregnancy to have it treated. Thus here again the ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure. The diseased tonsils can often be so treated that much of the poison therein is eliminated and even a cure in early stages may be secured through proper treatment. Thus you see both teeth and tonsils may be saved during pregnancy and the baby and mother may both escape the poisons found within them by early and thorough examination. WHAT KIND OF LUNGS HAS THE BABY'S MOTHER? THE BABY MOTHER? Often a girl will begin married life in a fairly good state of health. Then baby will start its journey and her health begins at once to break. One of the most-common causes for this is a tubercular background in the mother. Only today I saw a patient of this type. She can do very well as far as health is concerned so long as she is not pregnant. But when a pregnancy superimposes—then her whole constitution seems to go to pieces. She becomes weak, loses weight, runs an afternoon on temperature and shows all of the clinical signs of an active pulmonary tuberculosis. Why is it that the tubercular process which did not manifest itself before, become suddenly so active in the presence of pregnancy? This is a simple question. Both the mother's system and the baby's during its embryonic life greatly need certain lime salts and other elements in the mother's body. When the mother has a latent or a hidden tuberculosis these certain elements are very low in amount within her body and when the little stranger comes along with its great, big need for just these particular elements—then the mother must rob herself in order to furnish her unborn child. This she does for a fact. True to mother's unselfishness she pours out this much needed material into her baby's body until her own system is well nigh depleted. This causes the "dare up" of the old tubercular lesion. Because it was the ability of the mother's body to supply just enough of these nutritive materials to her own little body to keep it up that held the tubercular process in check. Thus naturally when this small amount of needed nutriture must be divided to supply two lives then the mother's health failed." DUE TO TUBERCULOSIS This possibility of lighting up an old tuberculosis by pregnancy is another very urgent reason why all prospective mothers should seek the care of a good physician early in Page-Three MISS ETHIOPIA'S GENEROSITY MISS ETHIOPIA'S GENEROSITY A.

Each manifested a very keen interest in the welfare of the Eagle and expressed desire that such business conferences be held monthly instead of yearly. This suggestion was accepted by the management.

Great weakness, excessive vomiting and loss of weight are all danger signs and should lead the mother to seek medical care without delay. There are other organs which also are especially strained during the prenatal period and these will be discussed in other issues. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH (Rev. E. E.

Los Angeles "A Street Preacher" ON THE SIDEWALK (Continued From Page One) citizenship, we will not cease until every man, black or white, enjoys the fruits of his labor. "Give me Liberty, or give me Death." IN THE FACE of the many discouraging things which arise from time to time to retard our cultural growth, it is indeed like sunshine after a terrible storm to read the article from the pen of Ruth Skeen, entitled "Dark Culture" in the January 4th issue of the Open Forum, which we are publishing in this column. Miss Skeen is but one among the many big-hearted Caucasians who know neither color, creed nor race but one big human family, brothers and sisters of one Father, striving always to make the world a better place in which to live. "It seems almost impossible for a white American to take an American black man naturally as one human being to another. They either persecute or patronize, condescend or regard him with curiosity or contempt. Were it not for this silliness, there would be no need for us to call attention to the growth of dark culture in America as it would easily take its place in the general aesthetic development (if any) in our country. But, unfortunately, in this as in much else, for the present moment, we exercise discrimination. "Perhaps, after all, it is just as well, since the dark American's contribution has certain racial traits that are indeed charming and different. If you would really like to know what he has done since 1865 you may read it written up by one of his own race, Walter White, who tells you all about it in one of Haldeman Julius' blue books, which may be had for a dime, under the title "The Negro's Contribution to Culture." It should be read by all who still visualize the coloreed man in a cotton patch or riding a mule through the canebrakes of Mississippi. "The race as given us in lyric form the only history of our religious experiences, and when we hear the spirituals we must admit, no matter how lily-white we are, that here is poetry, rhythm and imagination of singular purity and power. And it is to one of this race that we owe the preservation of this beauty for all ages to come which will regard it as the greatest native art form we have produced. And by slaves! A, what IS slavery? The body chained but the soul poised for flight! "James Weldon Johnson, himself an artist and a musician, wandered through the old South and collected these desipped songs; . . . believing in his race and having aesthetic vision, he has preserved what the white man regarded as slag. Thus is art born! "In literature the Negro is rapidly making a sound reputation for himself. In fact, he has become somewhat the fashion. The smartest book of the year is Taylor Gordon's "Born to Be." whose delightful insuance and careless comments on American civilization leave us breathless and cause us to realize that this race looks on at ours often with the tongue in the cheek. Walter White, Robert Moton, Dr. DuBois and many others, both women and men, are contributing valuable work also. "To ignore the aesthetic grits of a race that has produced poets like Langston Hughes and Countie Cullen, singers like Robeson and Hayes, is to show ourselves uncultured and lacking in the right judgment of what culture is. "Recently we witnessed an art exhibit by Negro students, including oils, water colors and etchings. Much of the work was excellent and some unusual, averaging just as would such an exhibit from the white group. "The dark man has found himself aesthetically, or shall we say he has begun to trust his own aesthetic taste, for a race cannot rise above the burden of an inferiority complex, wished upon it by a dominant race, in one generation. Please recall that in 1863 four million dark people were released, penniless, landless and assessed as real estate, could not legally marry nor own property and were forbidden to read or write. This is not the place for statistics, but there are plenty of them which will show you how the black man has lifted himself up by his own boot straps from nothing and carved his fortune with his bare hands. Hedged in by hate, his aesthetic life Church More than two hundred and fifty dollars was the amount spent by the Benj. J. Bowie Post and its Auxiliary for presents, groceries and Legion Christmas activities. It was disclosed from reports at the meeting of the Post on last Monday night. This sum was not only the contribution of the Post and Auxiliary to the community as a part of their activities in community service but it was explained that the monies was raised entirely by donations for the Christmas season from within the ranks of the organization. Resolutions were also passed thanking all persons and organizations for the parts played in making the community Xmas tree and entertainment a success, held at the Lincoln Theatre on Christmas day and sponsored by the Elks and Legion for the kiddies of the community. A new departure in activity was made when the Chairman of the Americanization Committee, Jerome L. Hubert, announced that the "go to church day" of Benjamin J. Bowie Post had been set as Sunday. January 19th, and the Post in proper regalia would attend in massed formation the Independent Church of Christ on that date as special guest for the day. This procedure is a part of the program of that committee adopted at the beginning of the legion fiscal year when the Post approved recommendation of this committee to attend as a body each quarter any church which the committee would select. In submitting his recommendation Chairman Hubert said, "The American Legion is composed of men in all walks of life with various religious and political convictions upon which the Legion has pledged itself to strict neutrality. This is as it should be. My committee makes this recommendation that the members within the Legion who are religiously 'inclined may have the pleasure of giving vent to that inclination as a part of their Legion activities." A report from the Auxiliary showed that 62 sweaters and shirts had been presented to members of our group at the soldier's home in Sawtelle. Eleven occupants at Sawtelle were admitted into Legion membership at Monday's meeting. went free. White Americans were not concerned with it. As a result, his defense mechanism became laughter and song. We can now congratulate ourselves that we did not understand what was going on. "The dark man has had to face the hopeless task of making the white man take his aesthetic life seriously but now that he is developing race integrity and race consciousness so rapidly this need not be utter him. And there is always a little group of wise hearts in every wilderness of fools who will be sympathetic and aware of his accomplishments. "As a musical artist, the colored man has been on the map for a number of years. Now he has met every test of taste as an actor; it is taken seriously at last as an artist and not as a buffoon. "Heart in Dixie" and "Hallejah" prove to us that there is music in dark laughter, sweetness in dark love and beauty in dark faces. We have only to see either of these pictures to realize that this is a refined, gentle and spiritual race. "The Negro's rapidly growing contribution to American culture should be watched by us. It is unique and distinctive. The very lack of pattern has given him forms absolutely his own and they should be preserved. It is just this thing that makes Taylor Gerrison's book such a delight to an artist. It is so spontaneously Gordon. "To ignore or discriminate against the aesthetic achievements of this dark group is to show ourselves vicious, silly and wanting in true aesthetic perception. We should make it a matter of pleasure and honor to encourage and appreciate the talents of dark Americans, not only collectively but individually, as part of our cultural life. A civilization so stupid and vicious as to ignore or discriminate against its own cultural development cannot survive and does not deserve to do so." GET THE HABIT OF GOING TO THE A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The activities for the month of December closed with a bang at the First A. M. E. Zion church, Pico and Paloma streets. There was good preaching by the pastor, Rev. l. Albert Moore during the entire month. The singing of the choir under Mrs. Evelyn Horton Solomon was splendid. The third Sunday was Young People's Day. Miss Louise Baltazar was the speaker at the morning worship. Sba brought a great message on behalf of modern young folk. At the evening worship, Miss Myrle Cage, a young lady who has felt a divine call gave us a burning message. On Christmas Eve the Sunday school had its program and Christmas tree. Mrs. Roberta Payne, the superintendent, had a splendid program; a feature of which was the acrobatic stunts of the Raines sisters and the singing of the Christmas hymns by the audience as they were thrown on the screen. The early morning Christmas services were well attended. The pastor preached a Christmas sermon. On the fourth Sunday evening, Prof. A. Collins presents his Symphony Orchestra in our regular fourth Sunday evening musicale. They were assisted by his group of jubilee Singers. We were pleased with their program and are wondering how soon we can hear them again. On the fifth Sunday afternoon, Hazel Whittaker, the M. B. A LIFE SAVER!

Shaw, pastor of the church officiating. It is said to have been the largest funeral held in Los Angeles. Df. Bowers was a successful business man, the owner of a drug store at 55th St. and Long Beach Ave., where he conducted a successful drug business for the last six years. He was prominent in the civic and fraternal life of the city and was loved and respected by all, as evidenced by the large concourse of friends who assembled to pay to him their last tribute or respect. A wife, son, father, two sisters and three brothers survive him. He was buried under the auspices of the Knights of Pythian Lodge, J. Allen Reese, Grand Chancellor Commander in charge.

Gilbert Academy he entered Wiley University, having finished the prescribed course he graduated May 23, 1908. In further pursuit of knowledge he for one year specialized in Science, then entered Flint Medical College, New Orleans where he pursued a Pharmaceutical Course, thus fitting himself for his life's work. Coming to California he first found employment with the Playground Department of the City of Los Angeles; later, and for many years he proved a trusted employee of Dr. J. T. Smith in his drug store on Central Avenue at Twelth street. Possessed of a clear vision and with faith in his ability to succeed and the courage to begin, about six years ago he launched Bower's Drug Store at the corner of Long Beach avenue and Fifty-fifth street. That succeeded is beyond question and for the full period he has enjoyed the support, confidence and the respect of the community in which he had established his business. He was active in the many charitable efforts of the community, a devout member of the church as well as a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Elks and Masonic Lodges. A wife, son, father, two sisters, three brothers and other relatives survive him, plus a multitude of sorrowing friends.

It is known as "mail merchandising. The system practiced by "mail merchandisers" is an adaptation of the plan first used by worthy and legitimate causes. It consists of sending to names on a purchased mailing list goods, usually neckties, handkerchiefs or cards, which may be retained at a stated price or returned. The goods as a rule are both shoddy and cheap. They may be absolutely useless to the person to whom they are addressed, yet it he neglects to return them, follow up letters are sent which take on a black-mailing character. Uncle Sam's mails were never intended for such purposes. They burden the mails unnecessarily and wrongfully exploit low postal rates. Since the mails are not self-supporting—the postal deficit running into the millions annually—the practice amounts to making the taxpayers victims of the system and reputable merchants who suffer from such business tactics are entitled to relief. But why wait for the government to act, when the public could provide its own relief by the simple expedient of refusing to play the part of the sucker?

These are the days when the cold winds blow from the north as though to test the manhood that is so powerful under a warm sun. These are days, indeed, to stir to its utmose; days of activity. A brief interruption of cold weather and heavy rain spoiled snow slides, but many of these have been repaired by applications of water. Seldding on ice is quite as dangerous as on snow, more swift and more thrilling. Young America will not be cheated of pleasure. Full grown America, also, at least in Los Angeles, can be eard shouting with delight as a small Ford car sweeps down Central Avenue.

The so-called hick town has lately become a source of great inspiration to our professional humorists. A hick town, say the various users of this convenient formula, is a place where a backfire is never mistaken for a pistol shot; where bedtime is orthodox; where woodpeckers eat up the depot; where central can tell you whether it was a girl or a boy; where the neighbors will supply you with a conscience if you lack one; where there is no parking problem; where a curfew disturbs the residents' rest; where fine cut tobacco is no handicap socially, and so on and on. With no intention of becoming terribly heavy over the matter, we want to add that a hick town is a place where 26 of our 29 presidents were born and where seven out of 10 of the immortals in New York's national hall of fame originated. A hick town that did have a name produced Lincoln. Hick towns gave us most of our great literary figures of the past and practically all of those now living. Hick towns produce our Edisons. If we may, then we would like to suggest that a hick town is a place where a boy has an excellent opportunity to lay the foundation of future greatness.

WHEN IS PROSPERITY PROSPERITY? For some time the atmosphere about us charged with the reassuring predictions that which has prevailed throughout this country economic conditions, will soon be lifted and transal prosperity will make its advent. Taliion, the President of the United States call dustrial and financial giants, asking and rec that they will go ahead with improvements ployment and lift this terrible seige. In response to this call, and with deteplorable condition, representatives from ev financial organization in the Nation met in co and emerged with definitely formulated plans For some time the atmosphere about us has been charged and surcharged with the reassuring predictions that the long siege of hardtimes which has prevailed throughout this country and has so demoralized economic conditions, will soon be lifted and the long heralded era of universal prosperity will make its advent. Taking the lead in this direction, the President of the United States called together the nation's industrial and financial giants, asking and receiving assurance from them that they will go ahead with improvements in order to banish unemployment and lift this terrible seige. In response to this call, and with determination to alleviate this deplorable condition, representatives from every civic, industrial and financial organization in the Nation met in conference with the President and emerged with definitely formulated plans for the expenditure of several billions of dollars in improvements in their lines in order to give needed employment to the idle of the country. As a tangible evidence of that 29 of our 48 states have sent in reports of work already begun to the amount of over 5 billion. In the face of this and as a further reassurance, the U. S. treasury reported a surplus of 175 million dollars at the close of 1929. The Congress had already authorized a 160 million dollars refund to the taxpayers covering the same period. Furthermore, the banks and other financial institutions of the country report vast increases in capital and surpluses. Four banks—two in New York City, one in Chicago and one in our own Los Angeles—have moved into the billion dollar class, while many others are past or near the half billion dollar mark. In fact all the nation's big businesses show new records in prosperity for the past year. This is encouraging indeed. We poor mortals we have suffered so much and so long from the effects of hard times, listen well to all this news with a deep-seated hope that the welcomed visitor will not delay its coming. Moreover, we should be pardoned if we are not yet able to receive this news as reassuring when we read of the tremendous advance and prosperity among the big industrial and financial institutions of the nation; the ever-increasing dividends being paid to stockholders and the generally splendid, healthy condition in which our nation's business is, while the same dispatches tell us that 1929 was a record year for unemployment, low wages, suffering and destitution among the poor laboring clauses of this nation, we are compelled to view with suspicion and misgivings the new prosperity for 1930. Our suspicion and fear is that the "shower" of prosperity migth "shy" around us in 1930 as it very plainly did in 1929, leaving us high and dry. It is har dio believe that of the many big financial and industrial institutions right in our midst, al lshowing such stupendous financial growth, that we could still have so many men and women out of work and not able to get the bare necessities of life. Our suspicion is whether or not in the new prosperity era this contemplated outlay on projects will be equitably distributed. We know that the prosperity so much bragged about in the past year was neither seen nor felt by the rank and file of us. Genuine prosperity in a community or nation cannot be restricted to a favored few, if so, it will lose its name and force. ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened No nation or community has any prosperity that it can brag about when such a large number of its citizens are in distress. That kind of prosperity which enables the millionaires to grow into multi-millionaires, the multi-millionaires grow into billionaires, and the big businesss grow bigger by the merger route, while the small fish grow smaller and poorer, is not what we call genuine, and surely is not the kind we should like to see come out of all this fuss about the coming prosperity of 1930. We do not wish, nor do we look forward to the coming of an era of charity. The rank and file of the nation's poor would much rather have a chance to work for what they need than have the charitable organizations relieve them in distress. Let not those captains of industry and finance who have assured the president that they will go with full speed ahead with improvements in 1930, make it a race among themselves to see which can accumulate the most millions and paystockholders the highest dividends; not how low the ycan cut wages and how far they can go to replace manual labor. But let them understand that no nation nor part of a nation can safely and securely advance in prosperity with half of its citizens standing in the soup lines, or crowding the charity houses. Poverty must be as surely banished as illiteracy in any nation before it can boast of any prosperity that is not a mockery to itself and the rest of the world. LET'S MAKE 1930 ONE FOR REAL PROGRESS As we stand in the vestibule of a New Year our fondest hope is that it shall be a year of greater progress and prosperity for all people than we have ever experienced before. A capital way in which to start the year will be to discard and leave into the sea of forgetfulness all hatred, prejudice and envy and this will make it possible to go forward with the program of progress. Hitched onto this situation a determination for honest dealing with all mankind and a premium upon honsest endeavor shall be our portion. Support worthwhile business enterprise, frown only upon the parasites and political sylvesters and they will soon be forced to the tall and uncut timber. Support your newspapers when they are right to the end that the group will participate in all of the emoluments which is their due. Where any merchant receives your trade and fails to give to the group due consideration—frown upon him and trade elsewhere. If we do these things we will see real progress.

California seems about to develop a bit of scandal which may involve some of the big oil companies. It is alleged that in order to evade the 3 cent tax on gasoline that product, ostensibly, consigned for export has been diverted for the use of industries within the State, avoiding the tax and thus defrauding the State of approximately 5 millions of dollars. The Board of Equalization is responsible for the administration of the law regulating the State tax on gasoline, and it is up to that Board to start an investigation. Luckily, the State Department of Justice has at its head an Attorney General who has played no favorites, nor has a breath of suspicion tained his office. If there has been any attempt to defraud the State of its legitimate revenue, the taxpayer can rest assured that the guilty will be not only punished but the coffers of the State be reimbursed. It is said that already six officers of small companies have been indicted. * * * * 400 years ago Torquemada issued an edict expelling Spain.

That may not be the best of policies. While not of a jealous disposition he balks at open neglect and has a very effective way in resenting it. We have often wondered what part, if any, the Negro vote of the State will play in the fortcoming selection of candidates for the State and Federal offices to be elected this year. We hear of rumors of homogeneous action; which is encouraging. Former experiences should be sufficient cause for a consolidation of political effort. A survey of the race voting strength shows it to be a potent factor. If rightly used it can be the determining factor in many of the selections, and a determiner of many political issues. One thing sure: unless the activities or some of the blatant claimers of political influence is quelched political recognition of the past will be that of the future, and you know what that was and is. * * * * place a ban on dance that conditions were a Commissioner of pug general closing of the aptly.

First it was made a moral issue; then it threatened to become a "national religion." Now, politicians see in it a medium, or vehicle, for political preference, and the outcome is hard to predict. Prohibition's most ardent advocate, among the politicians is Senator Borah. The Senator, in his mental attitude, is based along the lines of the late W. J. Bryan. Most of us know what that was. Here is something of supreme interest. "Sergeant Johnson, Negro sculptor, is again winner of a Harmon Foundation fine arts award for distinguished achievements among Negroes." Such was the announcement through recent New York dispatches. He was awarded a gold medal and $100. He had three pieces, a wood carving and two charcoal sketches. Two years ago Johnson, won a special prize for a piece of sculpture, "Sammy." It was the head of a waif. Prior to that he had won a gold medal for first prize in a contest conducted by the San Francisco Art Association at the Palace of the Legion of Honor. Claude is one of the younger products in which we take particular pride. Sacramento has a budding, artist, Jon Evans, who bids fair to give luster to the Negro race in California.

THE COMMON PEOPLE By CARL ECHOLS A building rests upon its pillars and foundation. Our social and economic systems rest upon the production of the Common People. Our system of capitalism is antagonistic to the best interests of the working people. Believe it or not, there are reasons to believe that its psychology is based on the barbarous practice of the strong exploiting the weak. We inherited it from our primitive ancestors. In old days, conquering tribes made slaves of their captives. Today, powerful money-power (concentrated in the hands of a few master schemers) makes slaves of those dependent upon wages for their existence Capitalism thrives upon the exploitation of the helpless employees. The common people! See that sun tanned tiller of the soil? He's a farmer. The world depends upon him for its food. Let him cease his earthy toil and humankind would starve. What would become of kings, aristocrats, and elite society if farmers were to cease their labors? The common people—the working class—are the bulwark of any race or nation. But who wants to acknowledge his kinship to common clay? Hence many bile-away to centers of culture and acquire a—vencer! Tehes anthropomorphic heaps of mere human sod would be polished, different human stuff. But polished or in the rough, mere human clay they still remain. The gospel that some people are born to be "hewers of wood and drawers of water" while others are predestined to luxury, ease and special privilege is pure humbug. It is a figment of somebody's twisted mind. Scientists tell us that the chemicals that go to form the human body are worth about 98 cents, rich man poor man, beggarman, thief, the price is the same: 98 cents. Why boast we at our college degrees? Our vain titles? Our conceived culture and social position? Our pedigrees? Our possessions? Some day our earthy tabernacles will crumble. Little bugs will cat away our skeletons and fleshly coverings. Our one- --- tune body of human clay will join its mother earth—our 98 cents worth of solids, liquids, and gases will return to natures great chemical laboratory. It was among the common people that the seeds of democracy were first effectively sown; and it will be by and thru the common masses that any worth while humanistic reform will be made. The scholarly, aristocratic pharisees announced and rejected Christianity, but the masses embraced it with open arms. Blue bloods (?) boast of their family tree; bright chaps of their intelligence quotients; and the males of the human species rejoice to know that their average skulls are said to be larger than feminine ones. (As though the size of the brain box determined or vouchsafed the quality and extent of mental strength and ability. The time is coming when the common people will come "unto their own." Political and economic control will someday be in the hands of the people (where it belongs) and not in the hands of a few privileged, callous-hearted exploiters. I believe in the intelligence, industry, and integrity of the Common People. TWENTY-THREE-M.W. -- ? SPOONING Once upon a warm day Sunny. When the bees were making honey. And the bites sang gaily in the trees above. Neath a shed so cool and shady, Sat a laddie and his lady. Making lots of what is known as puppy love. Quoted she.

Friday, January 10, 1930 --- Like the lillies of the valley, Who neither toil or spin: Some men refuse to labor, Their daily bread to win. Some loafers meet in Barber shops To hold their daily session: Discussing religion, war, politics, And the Negro question. There are certain pool rooms In which young men are found: Wasting time and money Chasing ivory balls around. Around the Old Post Office, Before each day is done: There is a crowd of loafers, Standing in the sun. Go up to the Plazza, And there you will see: The windy soap box orator, And loafers of every degree. There are many kinds of loafers, Some great, and some small: Now when you criticise, Do not condemn them all. A loafer toasting his shins, And having a dream slime: Gets up with his vision, And invents the steam engine. Experts are useful men, Their constructive deeds are many: But it took a barber to invent The grand old Spinning Jenny. If the expert knows so much, And has an analytical mind: Why did he overlook wireless, And leave it for a boy to find? Demosthenes was not a toiler, With a lantern in his hand, He starched the grottoes of Greece Looking for an honest man. Have patience with all mankind And as your love grows deeper: You will some day realize That, you are your brother's keeper. Harmon Award to Truman K. Gibson Harmon Award to Truman K. Gibson EFFORT IN GIGANTIC MERGER WINS HONOR Chicago, Jan. 8. By A.N.P.—Truman K. Gibson, Chairman of the board of Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company of this city, has been awarded the Harmon Foundation Gold Medal for 1929 with an honorarium of $400. These awards were first offered in 1926, organized by the late Wm. E. Harmon, for the purpose of giving additional stimulus for creative work to members of the Negro group and through recognition of achievement of national significance, not only to give personal recognition to such work but to open wider fields' of opportunity. The awards are an insignia of honor conferred upon men and women whose creative efforts have contributed to or may become a helpful factor in American life and civilization. The honor was given to Mr. Gibson because of the most outstanding creative achievement in the field of business and industry among Negroes during 1929. At the time of the consolidation of Liberty Life Insurance Company, Ohio, and Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, New Jersey, Mr. Gibson was President of the Supreme Life and Casulty Company, which he had organized in 1921. He was responsible for initiating the conferences and proposing the idea which led to the consolidation of the three companies into the present organization known as the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company with a capital of $400,000 and approximately 30 million of life insurance in force. It is understood that the award was made to Mr. Gibson not alone because of the meteral accomplishment of the consolidation itself, but constituting as it does the first consolidation of several representative business institutions, it has served to establish a precedent for other Negro business organizations. Further, that the consolidation marked an epoch in the business life of Negroes and points the way to combinations of still greater financial strength. Mr. Gibson is a graduate of Harvard University, and prior to his organization of Supreme Life and Casulty Company he had gathered wide experience in the field of insurance through the building up of a small southern insurance company into an organization of substantial importance. Upon the consolidation of the three companies and his selection as Chairman of the Board he moved to Chicago, where he maintains his residence.

A STATUE OF LIBERTY Poetic the situation. The jutting of the arth out into the waters of the bay, there losing its form together beneath that all enveloping body, here, reasserting itself in little islets, from which buildings arise, signaling man's inhabitance. The huge vessel as it rocked on the undulating waters of the Atlantic set up within me a furor of thoughts. As a poor child of the Pacific, how often had I thought, my breath coming hard with the thinking, of the possibility of one day crossing over from the great waters of the Pacific to that of the Atlantic. Tis then the culminating of a life's dream that pre-occupied my mind. Gruesome, that huge greenish blue bulk of plaster of Paris statuary standing alone, aloit one of those juts of land on out the deep. Motled and distorted of visage it appears, in the likeness of a woman that lost its lines of femininity in the molding. That effect of a draping from the shoulder, covering up the lower extremities would do well, I thought were it extended over it all, hiding the bloated sneering face and laurel wreath on the head. In the hand, held aloft is an emblem of a torch, as I gaze on it a spurt of living flame leaps forth. In the A stranger recently visited New York. Of course, his steps turned naturally to that vastly interesting region known as "Harlem." After looking over the territory for two or three hours, he was asked his opinion of the place. "Well," he replied, "the people who live in this section must be three things; first, they must be very, very thirsty; second, they must be tremendously tion of fish; third, they must be terribly ugly." "Why are these your conclusions?" he was asked in astonishment. "I base my first conclusion on the fact that there have been shown me more full-fledged bar rooms in this section than in any other part of the city; second, there are more "Fried Fish Emporiums" in Harlem than in all the rest of the world; third, the mist of it are human forms of women, children and men they writehe opening and shutting their mouths in anquish, jumping hither and thither in distress, look, see they are black folk, my folk! They lift their gnarled hands imploringly hands that have been used to wrest from the earth its treasures for other men to enjoy. Their gaunt bodies speak of deprivations, even of sufficient food. In their eyes there appeals that hunted, haunted, wild expression of an animal at bay. The tattered clothing falls from them, consumed by the revenous tongues of the fire, their bodies are shrivelling. "O. God have mercy!" I find my throat too tight for utterance, only in my heart is the wild cry ringing deafening my ears to all other sounds. Then anger that sets my face afire comes as I realize how feeble are my efforts, that my weak cries perhaps are not even heard. Corpulent bodied men white in the earths light whose faces be-speak the gratification of every desire, reach long iron prongs into the flames, prodding those agonized victims, white richly gowned white women laugh and applaud. I swoo, it was more than my physical strength could endure. In a state of coma, the piteous, agonizing moans and groans of my poor tortured people, come to me. My subconciousness, questions, seeking, restlessly an answer to this picture. "What is it? Who, this base figure of a woman whose torch kindleth fire so consume the helpless bodies of an unprotected people?" I cry out, my questioning so loud, so fierce, so insistent that someone answers out of the darkness. Their voice comes to me thin and weak. "That is the Statue of Liberty, the emblem of Americanism".

Taking each of these items separately, it might be well to consider the ownership of the various enterprises. Each depends on the colored folk of Harlem to patronize the establishment and make it profitable; were it not profitable, there would not be so many existing in the section. The Italianes control most of the barrooms prohibition there is now a bar on each corner and on in the middle of the block for good measure! The "Friec Fish Joints" are controlled exclusively by Greeks. Seems as though those fellows can take any kind of a cook shop and make it pay at any rate, they have in the past six months, simply over run the community will those poorly furnished, unsanitary dumps, where for fifteen cents, a man, if his tastes are not too gaudy, may purchase a full complete meal of friend fish, fried potatoes, bread and coffee for the small sum of fifteen cents. What a blessing this is! In addition to the food he gets, he is also entitled free, gratis, with the compliments of the management, to all of the obstreperous odors accompanying fish of varying ages, fried in a deep fat which is changed weekly, maybe. The Greeks stole the idea from some colored brethren over on the East Side. The latter are falling by the wayside, but the former are prospering on fried fish and fried potatoes at fifteen cents a throw. The delicatessen stores are furnishing the succulent chitterling and luciens "troter" for the delection of the "hog." Was a time, when these two choice viands were the rage in Harlem, now they are relegated to a back seat, breaking into the limelight only on festive occasions, as that elegant function, peculiar to Harlem, the "House rent party" or the "Saturday night function," Sometimes these little "get togethers" are dignified by calling them "whist parties" or "parlor socials." Whatever the name, the aim is the same. And on to the Beauty Shoppe! They are legion in Harlem. Every woman who thinks she can make money turns to the hairdressing game. Not only do the women indulge in this favorite occupation, but some "men" are jumping into it too and they are making money. "Systems" of all kinds may be found in Harlem whether you use the one pull system or the two pull system, you can find it here. This is the only business, thank goodness, the jew, the Greek, the Italian can't understand, but they have to have their share in it, so they manufacture all sorts of preparations, combs and such utilities necessary for the promulgation of the work. But as for owning and running a beauty shoppe, they haven't got a chance. Back to the bar rooms for a change Many of these establishments have side and rear entrances, plainly marked, as in the old days, "Women" or "Ladies entranre." And believe me the women are not ashamed to be seen going into the doors. One sees old ladies, young ladies, white ladies, black ladies, brown ladies, crippled ladies, in fact, ladies of all sorts, hanging around in the rear of these "gin mills" as they are affectionately known. To the gentry of another strata, they are "Juice Joints." Again the trouble of a name. One night I overheard several ladies of the chorus of a noted local theater talking about a party they were to attend a little later in the evening or morning, after their regular work was over, and they declared they were going to a gin mill for a social session. Oh well, girls will be girls, just the same as boys will be boys. Strange thing about these gin mills. Whatever they feel like doing it, they slap an elk's head on the window, or embellish their mirrors with fancy decorations, centered around the antlers of a noble elk. Does this mean that these establishments are patronized largely by members of that fraternity? Or what does it mean if I am not mistaken, I once read in the rules of the order that it was against the tenets of the order to display the official insignia of the order over any business place or in connection with any business. And surely if this is true, a gin mill would be the last place in the world for the elk head. Some call their establishments "antlers this that and the other." They even invigle the "moose head" into their line of business. But signs or no signs, they flourish and instead of diminishing in size, they are enlarging the places, taking the best corners and spreading out like an infection, all over Harlem. There are around three hundred open bar rooms in the section from 116th Street to 155th Street on Fifth, Madison Lenox Seventh, and Eighth Avenues including the cross streets. This does not include the numerous buffet flats not connected with any "gin mill" but supplied direct from a distiller, local of course. Oh hum, so this is Harlem land of "Liberty or Death" Is Indian Demand Against British Rule New York, Jan. 8, By A.N.P.—Complete independence of Great Britain has been demanded by the executive committee of the All-India National Congress which is bolling its Forty-Fourth Congress at Lahore, India, according to Associated Press dispatchers. So insistant and so radical are the Indian demands for a complete severance from English rule and the destruction of English donation that most observers are inclined to view them as the symbols of revolutionary spirit too fierce to be allayed by diplomacy. It is reported that between 30,000 and 50,000 revolutionists are attending this conference, all keyed to the highest pitch to force English to release the Indian empire of more than three hundred million souls. Ironically enough, the leader in this significant conference, important to colored races generally because it exposes the desire and the determination of colored races to liberate themselves from the overloadship of the great white nations, is Mahatma Gandhi, the peaceful protestant, who has been pestering British statesmanship for more than a dozen years. Once imprisoned for his zealous and successful advocacy of non-co-operation with the British program in India, but later released as a result of representations made in respect to his health and character, Gandhi now indicates that none of his ardor for the release of his people has been destroyed. Suffering has not changed him. Ghandi has led the fight in the Congress against a minority group which would consider Britain's diplomatic offer of dominion status for India, such as is enjoyed by Canada and Australia. Perhaps sensing that such an arrangement would but prolong England's exploitation of the Indian empire, he introduced measures into the congress for such non-co-operative measures as he formerly broached, including a refusal to attend a so-called round table conference called to meet in London to discuss the political situation in India. He also urges boycott of the central and provincial legislating (felt to be dominated by British influence.) with authorization for a program of civic disobedience and non-payment of taxes when the executive committee thinks it advis- While it is the program of Ghani which is revolutionary and causes the utmost concern among statesmen because of the subtle nature of its espousal, it is the language of other leaders in the nationalist movement which gives rise to the greatest alarm. The energetic pundit, Jawaharlal Nehru, more of a Marcus Garvey, and president of the congress, raised the national flag and declared that it must never be lowered again while a single person remained alive in India, a statement which was greeted with cheers mothousands of throats and shouts of "Long Live the Revolution!" "We want to end exploitation of the poor of India and to get the reality of power, not merely the livery of office," Nehru said in his presidential address, describing dominion status as the shadow of authority for a handful of Indians, but mere repression and exploitation of the masses. "How can we co-operate when our comrades lie in prison and there is shoppe. Is there any wonder that murder is common and barbaric torture' so prevalent in recent cases of jealousy which have started the civilized world? It milt gbe interesting to state that some of the acts, perpetrated recently by murderers, before and after their crimes, are unprintable and worthy of the most savage of savage cannibals. A word in passing in regard the effervescent "Beale Street." Manhattan has its Chinatown; its Bowery, and its teeming "East Side", but it remains for Harlem to top them all with Beale Street. This is 133c Street from Lenox Avenue east to the Harlem River. a man's life is not worth a tinker's damn in that section of Harlem. There was some talk of "Cleaning up Harlem for Christmas by one hundred building inspectors" especially sent out to do this task. They must have performed like grasshoppers, skipping over undesirable spots. But that is a section of the city nearly heard of, yet interesting and dangerous. The buildings are old, dilapidated, rickety, ram-sheikle, get the tintinabalutines of piano, victrola, radio mingle with the street yells of fighting children, raucous voices of besotted men and women and life moves merrily on. That, too, is a part of Harlem. So to the ugly, hungry and thirsty, Harlem bids you a fond welcome. Be prepared for anything you see, yet do not ask too much, for Harlem is after all people for the larger part by civil people. NEGRO SCULPTOR OF BERKELEY HONORED TWICE For the second time in three years Sargent Claude Johnson, Negro sculptor and artist, whose studio is in the back yard of his cottage home at 2777 Park Street, Berkeley, has been awarded a medal by the Hairon Foundation for Distinguished Achievement Among Negroes. Johnson yesterday was notified that he was one of three Negro artists to receive the Harmon award in fine arts for 1929. A bronze medal and $100 is the foundation's recognition of three pieces of sculpture by Johnson, "Eater," "Bound" and "Anderson," a wood carving in basil relief and two charecled drawings. Two years ago Johnson receive the special prize of the Harmon Foundation for the sculptured head of a San Francisco waif, "Sammy." In 1925 Johnson won a gold medal for first prize in a contest conducted by the San Francisco Art Association at the Palace of the Legion of Honor. His entry was a terra cotta head of his then small daughter. Like a majority of the Negro artists represented at the Harmon Foundation exhibit now being held in New York, Johnson follows his art in the evenings and in spare time from his work. He is a picture framer. He works in wood, oils, water colors and etchings with equal facility. His technique has been developed, he says, by hours spent in his home-made studio before and after work on Sundays. Peark, 6-year-old daughter of Johnson, is his most frequent subject and has been since she was a baby, and his wife, Mrs. Johnson, his most sympathetic critic. Johnson's talent was first recognized by Benjamin Bufano, artist, whose student and protege he was in his youth. Encouraged by Bufano, Johnson converted a small garage in the rear of his house into a studio, which has become the Mecca of artists and art lovers in Berkeley. Find Woman In Blazing Gasoline New Orleans, La, Jan. 7, By A.N. P.-Famie Wilson who was found in the Clio Street dumps standing upright in a half-filled orum of burning gasoline is dead at Charity Hospital without having recovered consciousness. Joseph Williams, watchman for the Jackson Oil Refining Company, discovered the woman while making his rounds. When he rushed to her aid she gasped something about a "man named Henry" having put her into the drum, Williams told police of Twelfth Precinct. Apparently she made no effort to get out of the big can of blazing gasoline. Williams kicked the drum over and the woman managed to stagger about thirty feet before she fell to the ground. Williams summoned an Ambulance from Charity Hospital, and when the ambulance arrived the woman's clothing was still burning, according to police. The Wilson woman, it is understood, lived in a hut on the dumps. no guarantee that real freedom will come to us?" he asked in dramatic tones. Despite the golden harvest and heavy dividends, the mud huts, hovels, and the nakedness of the people testify to the glory of the British Empire in India. The English press, with its ear always attuned for discordant notes in the impressive symphony of British rule, is noting all the details of the demonstration in India. Most of the newspapers are viewing the situation with the customary alarm, only one. The Sunday Times, having the tongue in the cheek effrontery to suggest that the congress means nothing because it is not representative of all the Indians or all the shades of thought or lack of thought. "It is composed", says the newspaper, "of some thousands of unrepresentative. Indians whose brains have been fermented with ideas of western democracy. It is not even popularly elected. Even if all shades of political opinion were represented in it, the congress would still remain hopelessly unrepresentative of India, nine-tenths of the population of which are illiterates caring not a lie for politics." New York, Jan. 7, By A.N.P.—The bitter taxicab was predicted last year materializes now with the advent of the new Paramount cabs on the Sts. Three big organizations control the taxicab situation i n New York City. The Yellow Cab, the Paramount and the Checker Cabs. The General Cab Company has just begun operations and in February, 1930, Ford's new fliver cabs make their debut on the streets of New York. But right now, their advent is not being hailed with delight for all attention is centered on the fight coming between the Paramount Company and the Yellow Cab Company. The fight will be for the possession of exclusive rights at ferry, train, steamboat terminals, now enjoyed by the Yellow Company. The Yellow Cab Company pays big prices for these rights and enjoys a large revenue from the concession. It is a known fact that the Yellow Cab Company employs no colored men. The Paramount Company recently allowed colored men to take their cabs. So the conclusion is that wen the Paramount Company gets the concessions at these stands, colored drivers will have an opportunity to get in on some of these long hauls from the terminals. If this is done, it will also give colored drivers an opportunity at the big hotels of the city where they are now barred on account of the Yellow Cab concessions. It will also open the gates at the Pennsylvania Station, Grand Central Terminal, and the many steamboat lines operating in and around New York. Already, Paramount drivers, anticipating the drive against the Yellow Cab Company, are crashing these hitherto forbidden stands and stealing passengers. To compete with the Yellow operators, the Paramount People have decided to increase their fleet of taxicabs from 800, the present number to 2,000. They are doing at a rate of 30 to 40 new cabs a day, retiring old cabs at the same time. Urban League Survey Secures Greenwood White Way In Tulsa Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 7, By A.N.P. In a recent survey made of this city by Jessie O. Thomas, Southern Field Director of the National Urban Lea- gue, the following observation was made relative to the lack of lights in the Negro section: "The extent to which the colored community is neg- lected in the matter of street lights is appalling. After sundown until sunrise in the morning the colored community is literally in darkness. For example, there are six lights which look to be about a 30-watt bulb from East on Greenwood to Pine, a distance of thirty city blocks. This is the main thoroughfare through the Negro section. On the cross streets there are no lights at all. There is one light on Pine Street between Greenwood and Peoria, and that one is at the Railway crossing, a distance of approximately twenty city blocks. On Pine beyond Greenwood, where the white community begins there appears to be a light at every street corner. On *Neoria* from Pine to the end of the Negro community, a distance of twenty or more city blocks, there are no lights except at garages and business places. Copies of this report were put in the hands of the mayor of the city and prominent members of the City Council, as a result of which many improvements have already been initiated including the purchase of a Park for Negroes and the extending of the storm sewerage pipe lines into the Negro section. The latest and most spectacular result of the survey is in making Greenwood Avenue, the main thoroughfare of the Negro business section a great white way. An interracial committee of four persons, equally divided between the two races, is formulating recommendations growing out of a study of the survey, calculated to improve the social welfare conditions of Negroes of this community for the next twenty five years. New Orleans, La., Jan. 7. By A.N. P.-Eight. thousand Negro Children were made happy Christmas morning when they received dolls, toys, and good things so eat through the Times-Picayune Christmas Gift fund. The distribution was made in cineman Park by a group of leading Negro citizens, who acted as a general committee under the chairmanship of Frank P. Farrell. Discover Colored Women Descendants Of Revolutionary Soldiers By FLORIDA R. RIDLEY The society of the Desertescans of early New England Negroes is taking advantage of the approaching Massachusetts Tercentenary to bring to the public what Miss Laura Wilkes calls some "Missing Pages in American History," to present the black men of New England who fought in the French and Indian Wars, who mingled with the white farmers to oppose the British at Dexington, who helped to defend Bunker Hill, to present them not as slaves ("no slave was ever born on Massachusetts soil") but as men; men who may have been forced to enter America in chains, but who worked, fought and died not only to obtain their own freedom but also the independence and freedom of the colonies and whose valor was recognized by the government by pensions, grants, of land and special privileges along with freedom. The society has already announced seventeen colored women as direct descendants of soldiers of the Revolution; also by asserting the general intermarriage of early Negroes with Indians, it is establishing the claim that the ancestry of its members, antedates that of the descendants of the Filgrams. The society feels that in making public such facts and emphasizing them it is making an interesting and worthwhile contribution not only to the Massachusetts Tercentenary but also to Negro history. Meetings are now being held in an old building which a hundred years ago was a "colored school" and which is next to the First African Church when the Anti-Slavery Society had its first meeting. DEPARTMENT OF POWER Los Angeles residents who have benefited by the three rate reductions made by the City-owned Bureau of Power and fight in the past 30 months will this year save $4,500,00, which is almost one-fourth of the total City tax bill for general governmental expenses, according to figures released by the Board of Water and Power Commissioners. The latest of these reductions became effective January 1. The two preceding rate reductions made by the Power Bureau in the last three years were put into effect August 1, 1927 and November 1, 1928. As a result of these three rate cuts, Los Angeles consumers will pay $4,500,000 less than they would have paid under the old rates prior to August 1, 1927. The total expense of the general City government for fire, police and health departments and a score of other municipal functions will amount to approximately $20,000,000 during the present year, City Hall figures reveal. No part of the Sum is used by the Department of water and Power, it was pointed out. The City-owned Power Bureau is entirely self-sustaining and all interest and sinking fund charges on power bonds from its own revenues. Due to rate reductions made effective by the Power Bureau within the past 30 months, Los Angeles citizens will save enough in their electric bills to pay almost 25 per cent of the total tax expense for general City government. The City-owned Power Bureau, since its inception, has saved the people of Los Angeles more than $34,000,000 by its low rates compared to rates charged in private power companies outside the city. Despite these low rates it has returned to the City net earnings totaling $24,000,000 since 1918, according to audit reports made by Price Waterhouse and Co. This money, it has been shown, has been reinforced in the System for the benefit of all the people.

But the majority of the home at the Grand Street flats around Tuesday night thought that the score should have read two for the Blue Gass Loy and none for Hess, but they pay off on the referee's verdict so that's how it is going down in the hooks, as a draw. FAST FIGHT The battle was a fast one from start to finish and they went from one song to the other at top speed. The boys got a little tired at times, but they made up for any slow going as soon as they got their wind back. It was a jump fight all the way, with a shade going to the Blue Grass boy. HESS BACKS UP The Kentuckian did Tuesday night what very few fighters in this state have made Goldie do and that is back water. Usually Hess is in there forging ahead and never backward at --- any time, but Payne changed the tune of that song Tuesday night and had the Ocean Park boy going backward a gang of times and making him like it was the best part of it.® Goldie didn't lay down by any means he was in there fighting all the time, but he has just met his master in the boy with the sissy name, but with the man's ability at dealing out punishment. GREB STYLE OF FIGHT Payne has that Greb style of fight. He races around the ring with his hands at his side and counters to a perfection and man how that boy can sink them in when you miss and he can lead some too. The Blue Grass fighter has a sock in that right hand that doesn't mean anybody any good that connects with. Payne hung Gold all over the ropes in the fourth round with a right smack flush on the lug. Hess went outside of the ropes and when he came back he was in a bad way, but that never die spirit of his sent him on and he came back in that round to hold his own, although Cecil did pour rights and lefts into him from every angle possible. PAYNE CLAIMS FOUL In the fifth Payne sunk to the floor in g wild mellee of blows and claimed a foul, but referee Benny Whitman would not allow it and the boys went at it hammer and tongs again. It was nip and tuck from them on although Payne took the last, two rounds, by a big margin. We thought he deserved the duke. "Diamond Lil" Cast Guests at Apex Club Uptown came upon the Avenue last Wednesday night, when the entire cast of "Diamond Lil," now showing at the Biltmore were the special guests of the king of nite clubs, Cartis Mosby. Last Wednesday was voted the biggest and best professional night in the history of the club. You that missed that night missed the show of shows. Beside his regular floor show every member of the cast did a number and all the rest of the big timers were there did the same thing. The guests of Mr. Mosby saw a show Wednesday night that they will never forget or possibly ever see again. It is very seldom that the number of movie and stage greats Curtis had together on that night meet up in one big mess meeting as they did, very seldom, so I repeat if you miss the Arex Wednesday night you miss the show of shows. NOW TO GET THE SHOW Mr. Jack Cheetan one of the principal characters in the show, "Diamon Lil" acted 3 master or ceremonies and that boy can't be beat. He first introduced the entire cast of "Diamond Lil" and did those folks got a hand? Ask me another one. Miss Elain Jones lyric soprano, of the company was all there with a hot number from the show in which she is starring. Miss Mae Russell, famous chorous girl of days gone by was in the company and got a big hand. Miss Russell was at one time the big noise in old Sliding Billy Watson's gang. GDLE CHAMP PARTY Paul Jones, California's state champion in the old man's past time, golf, was in the party and got a big hand from Mosby's guests. Mr. Jones plays golf with his left hand only and with this handicap won the state championship from men with both of their arms. SHAKE THAT THING "Shake That Thing" was brought back in all its glory by Mr. Richard con, a white favorite from up town sang every Blues on the market and oh how that boy can go. His biggest number was that old never die favorite, "Shake That Ting." You all know "Shake That Thing" and how it's done, but if you didn't you would know after Mr. Richardson finished, Joe and Lee, a singing and dancing team clicked right on out of this world. COMPOSER PRESENT Mr. Sam Coswell of the Paramount Studios and a world famous composer was there and by special request, did his favorite number, the theme song of "Thunder Bolt." "Daddy Won't You Please Come Home," is this number and Mr. Coswell is the writer of it. Sam did it in his own way and then called upon Miss Theresa Harris, Elues singer of "Thunder Bolt" fame to do the number as she did it in "Thunder Bolt" and it brought down the house. KNOCKOUTS IN PRELIMINARIES In the semi-windup, Tony Portille put Joe Ewar away in the second round. Ewar is a southpaw, but his style didn't seem to bother the hard hitting Mexican. Alfredo Imperial's manager threw in the towel to save his boy from a bad beating in a special event. Lou Snyder took all of the rounds up until the towel came in. Joe Salerino took Jimmy Lyall in one of the four rounders and Cecil Guysel got the duke over Frankie Burnell in the opener. KENTUCKY JUBILEE SINGERS Mr. Strutt Payne and his quartette from the Jubilee Singers were present at a ringside table and each member of the quartette was called upon to do a number and they did that little thing. Archie cross of the quartette did "Evangeline" with a feeling. Gus summons also sang and George Alphonso danced and can that boy boot! "SHOW BOAT" STARS THERE Miss Flora Washington, sister of Mildred Washington, producer of the floor show at the Apex has just returned from a tour of Australia with Ziegfield's "Show Boat." Flora is as good as ever. SONG MASTER "Grade Collins, the old song master was there and did "If You Believe in Me." Finley, a banjoist par excellent twanged away for all he was worth NOW FOR A LITTLE SKETCH OF THE REGULAR SHOW Curtis has a new star in Laura Smith, a little saewed off songster, and believe me, that kid can go. She rendered as her hit, "How am I Going to Get It When You Keep Snatching It Away" and she brought down the house. That wasn't enough and she had to come back with, "I Must Have My Kitchen Man." Beat it if you want. TWO DANCING BOYS Rutledge and Taylor almost stopped the show with their hoofing act. The boys always get a big hand with their numbers and the dancing up the steps always brings them around. Suey Hoy, the girl with the cross-wise name, offered, "If Aint no Sil." Curtis and his incomparable hand closed the most wonderful evening with the "Twelfth Street Bag." Community Hoospital Association Opens Clinic for Needy With almost every colored physician in the city on its rotating staff and many prominent white physicians on its consulting staff, the clinic of the Community Hospital Association located at 1306 East 15th street is now open. The hours of service are 11 a. m., to 2 p. m., on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The clinic is a general one offering treatment in all branches of medicine and dentistry to those who are not able to pay the cost of a private physician. Those in charge are inviting every needy sufferer in the community to avail himself of the services offered by this generous corps of physicians, surgeons and dentists. Regardless of race or creed anyone who cannot afford to pay for the services of a private physician is welcome into the doors of this institution located at 1306 East 15th street, phone WESTmore 6805 Zorrilla Goes to Hot Springs, Arkansas Santiago Zorille, Wirt Rosses' bid for the featherweight, crown has taken a trip to Hot Springs, Ark., to get in condition for the heavy program he has on hand. The little Panamian is a drawing card throughout the country and is in demand everywhere. Rosa took the boy to the Hot Springs, because he claims that water does him so much good. Zorrilla lost a ten-round decision to Lou Sungor in his last start, but it was a tight fight and many thought it should have been a draw with a possible edge to the brown jungle kid. IVOLI THEATRE "DIXIE ALTON SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS SAN BERNARDINO OPENS FIGHT CLUB WITH BERT COLIMA IN MAIN EVENT The Orange Belt Arena in San Bernardino opens its doors this Thursday with ten rounds of boxing in the main event, with Bert Colima the Whittier Mexican holding down one end of the Main Event. The other end of the top spot is a newcomer, Crab Smith. We have heard of this fellow Crab before, but make a comeback on. Billy Van of the knockout says "Bert is as good as ever so look for a quick knock-out in about two hot heats. CLUB CLOSED The club was closed for some little time and this will be the first showing since the Holidays. The small time clubs have been having a hard time making it lately and San Bernardino is no exception. They have been having hard times in the Gate City fictitious speaking and they hope this Bert Colima bout will bring them out of the nod into more prosperous times. Bert has been on the nonworking list for six months for fouling Evertt Strong at Hollywood. It was the second time Colima had fouled Strong and the commission thought the Mexican needed a long lay off to cure him of the habit. ADAMS—SAL The last big match they had in the Gate City was the Johnny Adams Baby Sal Soria and these two home town boys left such an over in the place that they were two weeks fumigating. Adams did a lot of prefight talk about what he was going to do to Sal and then when fight time came he and the Mexican Babe did a brother act. The home folks went there to see blood and thunder and saw as tame a match as ever has been pulled off. But if Crab Smith does not pass out of the picture too soon this may prove to be the fight that will bring the club of the nod. "Dynamite" Jackson Fights at Main Street "Dynamite" Jackson. Wirt Ross' heavyweight, mixes with George Holloway, of the Navy at the Main Street gym Saturday night. Jackson is the boy Ross claims Frankie (Ampbell, Les Kennedy) and the rest t of the topnotchers are afraid to meet and he offers a cool grand to the man that can coax, beg or shove Dynmite into a match with either or these men. The heavy colored boy has one of the fastest lefts | the country and is considered by many to be the real heavyweight champion of the Pacific Coast. MOSBY AND DEXIELAND BLUE BLOWERS TO SHOW UP TOWN Curtis Mosby and his entire company with the famous Dixieland Blue Blowers will travel up town next week to appear in a midnight show to be given at Loews State. Patrons of the uptown show have been clamoring for a Midnite show for months and they are being rewarded by the management in the person of Curtis Mosby and his entire company. A better pick could not have been made. Mosby is known from Coast to Coast as the King of Nite Clubs and his famous dance orchestra the Dixieland Blue Blowers are known from here to there. The Blue Blowers carry a reputation with them that can't be equaled anywhere on the Pacific Coast. Mosby's Music House Kid Chocolate, the Kandy Kid, from Cuba was barred in the state of Florida, because of his color. The boxing commission would not sanction a match between the Kid and Martinez, a Spanish boxer. The commission said there is a place for Negro Boxers in this state for them to box and no Mixed bouts will be allowed under any circumstances. JOHN PROWD TO BECOME BRIDEGROOM It is being nosed around the Soaring Eagle office that Mr. Johnny Prowd, head Linotype operator is soon to become a bendist of the first oder. Johnny is said to have hit it lucky too. e is getting himself a rich bride from the wide open spaces of Oklahoma and you know anyone coming from that state has the old herbies. Prowd is a lucky boy. The girl has both money and beauty and brains it is said. Johnny can't work days for talking about the winsome. Mias and can't sleep nights for thinking about her, so you see our friend Johnny is pretty much in love and no less. BREAKS OUT IN SONGS The office force doesn't know what to make of it at times. Sometimes all at once right out of a clear sky Johnny will start to sing and keep the office ringing for hours at the time with his love dittys. Thatts the way it is when that old love bug hits you square in the mug. It just can't be helped, Johnny tells me. Well Johnny we wish you all the luck in the world, because you will need it and a little more too. Oh maybe not, I forgot she has everything. Carry on, Carry on, it won't be long now. The rain was victorious over all out-door winter sports during last week and forced all activities into discard until this week-end. The results is that practically the same line-up of activities for last week are on tap for this Saturday and Sunday. MEXICANS IN DOUBLE BILL A slight change in the schedule has been made for Sunday when the San Luis Mexicans meet te Pirrone All-Stars in the first game and the Kelley Kars in the night-CO of the double bill. This will mark the first time that the Mexican nine have played a double bill at the White Sox Park this season. They also meet Pirrone in a one-game encounter on Saturday. The Royal Giants will travel to Long Beach to finish their series with Shell Oil. NEGRO ARTISTS GIVEN AWARDS SARGEANT JOHNSON OF BERKLEY, CALIF WINS GREAT HONORS New York, Jan. 4.
