ALONG THE COLOR LINE: In China one may not drive a red automobile because that color has a deep religious significance in that country. The color of the royal family in Spain is blue, hence you may not use a blue automobile. In America, Kip Rhinelander was unable to retain his wife Alice Rhinelander, because her color happened to be dark, so that's that! IT SEEMS to me that we are paving entirely too much attention to one Filipino, Jose A. De Jesús, who in speaking of the Negro said that he should admit that he is of the lowest karat in the whole world. Jose Jesus attitude reminds me of an incident I experienced. One day while passing my attention was attracted by the intense barking and frisking of a little face dog, who was making an effort to attack a big bull dog. As I looked on in fear, expecting to see the big dog dourve the tiny bit of canine, to my surprise the big bull dog turned, looked at his little opponent and without even a growl, went on his way. Now, this little Filipino, who dares to make said assertion has been in this country just long enough to get the white man's slant on Race hatred, evidently he is not acquainted with the history of the Negro, hence in answer to his suggestion of Race inferiority, let the Negro, on with the March of Progress. --- THE HAITIAN situation at this time is a very perplexing one. Some fair minded Americans are wondering if the American occupation scheme is meeting with success or if at the end of six more years the Haitians will be less prepared to govern themselves than they were before America stepped in. There are many causes for the dissatisfaction of the natives with regards to American rule at this time. Perhaps one of the colossal mistakes was the appointment of Dr. Freeman of Alabama as head of the Filipino Vocational Training School. Natives, according to Professor Logan of Union University of Richmond, Va., had been assured that as they acquired training they would be promoted to responsible positions in connection with their educational institution. Instead under Dr. Freeman's rule, southern white men were brought over and placed in charge which meant inability to increase the fifteen dollar scholarships that had been provided native students. Another cause for dissatisfaction with the American directors of education was their inability to speak French, hence having to make themselves intelligible through interpreters. If the American government is truly anxious to promote the cause of self-government in Haiti, then let our government pick men for educational posts in Haiti who have not studied and graduated from the schools of race hatred, such as is the case of the gentleman from Alabama. Rather, let us send men who believe in the science of right thinking and in their discharge of duty will recognize neither race, color nor previous condition but just people, God's people, all of whom came into the world through one and the same medium and until today we have never learned that death had a different sting for dark men than that for white men; and yet even though these facts stare us in the face, our proud Caucasian brothers see fit to carry their race prejudice and hatred into Haiti and there attempt to humiliate the native in his own home. The condition of affairs in Haita at this time to say the least, is disgusting and is an insult to true intelligence. In his speech before Congress last week, Oscar DePriest, Congressman from Illinois, suggested that we must have unbiased testimony on the Haitian situation, hence in sending out a Commission at least one broad-guaged black American should be a part of said commission. He said the task of finding Americans equipped to study the Haitian problem will be difficult. To our way of thinking at least two Negroes should be on this commission for we believe that the Negro will be better prepared to weigh the situation than the average white American because of the fact that the Negro has and is still suffering from some of the causes being experienced just now by the Haitians under American rule. EVEN THOUGH we are a little late, at this time we rise to express our objection to the homely simile of General Smuts when he compared the Negro to a jackass and in qualifying his remark it was the Negro's patience that he referred to and meant it in a complimentary manner. Our contention is that the Negro has been far too patient. He has taken the white man's religious, social and political program and seemingly as yet has no desire to make his own program. Please turn to page Three Church Members To Cooperate in Huge Charity Drive $5,000 IS GOAL OF FINANCE COM MITTEE IN STIRRING SIX WEEKS DONATION CAPTAIN FROM EACH CHURCH To the sick and suffering of the community who cannot afford to pay for medical services, new hope has come through the announcement that every church in the city is lending its support to the campaign being put on by the Finance Committee of the Community Hospital Association. With a wide awake and influential citizen chosen from each church as captain of a team of enthusiastic workers, a colossal six weeks drive is being made by the Finance Committee to raise the sum of $5,000 to forward the work of establishing a Community Hospital and Clinic. EXCITING PRIZES The churches are offering their best workers to this contest which gives an exciting prize to the Captain who wins and a beautiful token to the winning Captain's church. An impressive ceremony to be staged at the wining church will take place at the time that the prize is awarded to the captain who brings in the largest amount of money during the six weeks. The campaign opens Sunday, January 19th. It is the hope of the Committee that the city will rally as one great army to this humanitarian move. CLINIC NOW IN COERATION The clinic located at 1396 E. 15th street already in operation by this association meets a great community need, there having been prior to its organization no general clinic in the whole Central Avenue district. Ears, nose, throat, lungs, kidneys, liver, and skin, in fact every organ of the body including the eyes and teeth are treated in this general clinic. The services of this clinic are limited to no race or creed but into its doors all needy sick and suffering are invited to enter, as will be the case in the hospital which the Association is planning to acquire as soon as its funds are large enough. THOSE NOT YET REACHED An effort has been made to secure a captain in every church for the Donation Campaign, however, the Committee has been unable to get in touch with the pastors of some of our most alive churches and it requests such pastors or representative from their congregations to get in touch with the Committee at once by calling Westmore 6895. S. A. COFFIN JOINS ANGELUS FUNERAL HOME STAFF The Angelus Funeral Home, 1030 East Jefferson St.; one of our most rapid growing and progressive Undertaking Establishments, has added to its very efficient staff of workers, Mr. S. A. Coffin, recently retired on pension by the Pullman Company in whose service he has worked for the past twenty-five years. Mr. Coffin while in general appearance looks much younger was born in Mississippi in 1859. He was educated in the public schools of Mississippi, spent seven years in Shaw University, now Rust College, at Holly Spring. Mississippi.

DuBois while in Fisk University. His career since graduation has been quite varied and successful. He was a Railway Mail Clerk Five Years. Taught in the Public Schools of Texas and other states for thirty-five years. He has been with the Pullman Company in various capacities for the past twenty-five years. Mr Coffin has been a citizen of Los Angeles for many years. He is well known in Church and Civic Organizations, being at this time Trustee of the Independent Church, and a member of the Board of Management of the 28th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. He and Mr. J. L. Hill of Angelus Funeral Home are friends of many years standing, having worked together in the Pullman Service. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1930 Geo. S. Schuyler Replies To Question on Attitude towards the N.A.A.C.P. January 6. 1930. To the Editor: Dear Sir: On December 17th I received a letter from a friend in Baltimore who put to me a question as follows: "From some of the articles that have appeared in several Negro newspapers, it seems that you are championing the cause of the N. A. A. C. P. Is not this a change—if not a reversal—of your former position on this organization? Since there may be many other people throughout the country asking the same legitimate question in view of the fact that I have been urging that Negroes give a larger measure of support to this worthy organization. I wish here to append my answer to this friend, Mr. B. J. Davis, Jr., just as I wrote it and without any change: "I not your question and make haste to reply that it is not. Criticism is not necessarily condemnation. I first joined the N. A. A. C. P. in 1921 in Syracuse, N. Y., as I believe the records of that Branch will show. And while I have not been a continuous member since then, I have never expressed opposition or antagonism to th work being done by that organization. I have criticized and satirized some of the leading men of the N. A. A. C. P. as well as its failure to do certain things, but I have always emphasized the necessity of the work it does and urged Negroes to join it and support it. "In order to answer your question fairly, I have taken the time to go over the clippings of my column "Views and Reviews" in the Pittsburgh Courier from November 1924 to the present time just to see how many times I have mentioned the N. A. A. C. P. and what my attitude has been. I find that in the more than five years that I have been writing this weekly column, I have mentioned the N. A. A. C. P. less than 20 times. Specifically, 17 times. In chronological order are brief, summaries of the principal comments I have made on this organization: (Continued on Page Five) ABRAHAM LINCOLN ABRAHAM LINCOLN "NEVER WAS A MAN MORE WOR THY OF THE LOVE OF A PEOPLE" BY: WILLIAM E. LILLY (For the Associated Negro Press) [EDITOR'S NOTE: There is an apparent tendency among educated Negroes today to question the attitude of Abraham Lincoln on Slavery. This tendency is expressed in the thought, as Mr. George S. Schuyler, has put it, that Lincoln's service to the Negro was "opportunistic," and that he had no sincere, personal interest in the freedom of the slaves. Atty. William E. Lilly, a distinguished practitioner at the Chicago Bar, has made a prolonged study of the life of Lincoln. For the purpose of clarifying the mind of his people on the subject of the Emancipator, Mr. Lilly has consented to write for The Associated Negro Press a series of articles which will show the real character of Mr. Lincoln.] A second generation of Negro people has come to maturity since the day when the Emancipation Proclamation lifted the status of this people from a level with the, beasts of the field to a kind of qualified citizenship in one of the world's great nations. Under the urge of their new citizenship many of them have advanced far. Among this people today are individuals high in scholarship and eminent in art and science. That there should be a special need of acquainting this people with the character of the man who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, of the man who gave them freedom, may seem strange. Stranger still, is it that this need is more noticeable among the trained and generally bet- (Continued on Page Five) Dr. Anna Mae Williams Bradley Foully Murdered SUSPICION POINTS TO HER HUSBAND AS THE PER-PETRATOR OF THE ACT Dr Anna Mae Williams Bradley, well-known Chitopractor, was found in the town of Compton just South of Watts in an unconscious condition as a result of a severe beating in which her skull was fractured, on last Thursday morning. She was taken to a hospital but despite all efforts to save her life, she passed away on Friday evening without regaining consciousness. Her home was at 5317 Compton THE NEW YORK TIMES Dr. Anna May Williams Bradley avenue, where she lived with her husband and her mother. When it was learned that the doctor and husband got along together badly, suspicion pointed at once to him. Edward Bradley. In following up the suspicion and uncovering other circumstances, Bradley was arrested and placed in jail, charged with suspicion of murder. It is said there were found foot tracks going away from the car in which the woman was found, and a peculiar sort of mud or sand was in this particular spot. It is further related when the officers found Bradley at his home, they examined a pair of shoes only recently taken off of Bradley's feet and they had the same sort of soil on them as that where the car and the battered form of the doctor was found. The feeling against Bradley is great. The doctor was liked by all who knew her. She was active in the various fields of effort, both in church and fraternal life, energetic and withal a useful citizen. The funeral service will be held Saturday at 2 P. M. from the Apostolic Faith Church, Compton Ave, and 33rd street instead of date previously announced. The body is in charge of the Angelus Funeral Home. Bradley was arraigned January 16th in Division 3 of the Municipal Court on a charge of murder. The preliminary hearing was set for January 21st at 2 P. M. in the same court. Hear Richard D.

A one-year-old girl was wounded fatally when her father, Clarence Sanders, accidentally fired a bullet into the child's stomach. Police said Sanders went to the house of his estranged wife, and was playing with a pistol in the backyard. Suddenly his small daughter, Clara May, came to the door and the pistol was discharged. No action was taken against Sanders after the District Attorney's office had been consulted. KILLS WOMAN AND INTENDED HUSBAND PINE BLUFF, Ark., Jan. 14-By A.N.P.—Annie May Smith and Oscar Biggs, who were to have been joined in wedlock, were joined in death here Wednesday afternoon when Robert George went to the Smith woman's home and killed the couple. George had been living with the Smith woman for three years. Recently they came to the parting of the ways and she moved from his home, taking up her abode at Bigg's house. A few days ago it was announced that Biggs and the woman were bethrothed. Wednesday afternoon George borrowed a shotgun, went to the Bigg's home called him out on the porch. As Bigg emerged from the door George shot him killing him instantly. He then went into the house where he found his erst-while sweetheart and common-law wife crouched in a corner. He levelled the gun at her and fired, and she crumpled to the floor dead. George was arrested immediately following the slayings and charges of murder in the first degree were looged against him. Atty. Lewis K. Beeks Wins Fame in Maude Ganes Estate Case BY: "GEORGE" If ever in the history of the Los Angeles County Courts, when a Negro lawyer's ability was put to the supreme test with that of a white lawyer, it was on last Friday morning in Judge Charles S. Craffl's Court, when the Petitions for Letters of Administration in the Estate of Maude Ganes (deceased) by Charles E. Patterson, a U. S. mail carrier, and prominent churchman, and that of Mrs. Fannie O. Patterson came up for hearing. With attorneys Benjamin Lewis and Fairtair Cosby (white) on the opposing side, and representing Charles E. Patterson, contending that Attorney Beek's client, Fannie O. Patterson was not the natural daughter of the said Maude Ganes, and therefore not entitled to Letters of Administration, it was destined to be a battle of wits between the attorn-ys. Before court was called to order, it was audibly whispered that "Fannie Patterson didn't have a chance of winning with Negro counsel against two white lawyers." However, when the case came on for hearing and Mrs. Patterson took the stand, through and by Mr. Beek's questioning of his client, we forgot the question it issue; we could only visualize a little girl, bewildered by the fact that someone was trying to prove that the only mother she had ever known, the mother who had listened to her troubles, who had taught her to pray, who had nursed her thru her childhood sicknesses, was not a natural mother. Mr. Lewis's cross-examination only seemed to intensify the impression that the memory of that mother was trying to be taken from her. As the case progressed, we were forced to wonder what motive could prompt the opposite side to refer to another human's mother as a "River-Rat." The testimony progressed and the atmosphere became electrified with the impression that Attorneys Lewis and Cosby had a complete case as far as beaury's testimony was concerned, but Mr. Beeks began to tear down the complete structure without even a cross-examination from any of the contending witnesses. He began by submitting as evidence, documents, photostat copies, and even a little torn postcard, written from a father to his daughter many years ago, but it was accepted as conclusive evidence by the court. And lastly, it will be remembered by all present. Judge Crail's talk when he gave his decision. He never lost his identity as a capable judge, but he gave to all a vision of his understanding heart. CHILD FATALLY BURNED! LITTLE SOUTH LOS ANGELES GIRL DIES FROM INJURIES Frances Anette, the 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob F. Carter, 1707 East 115th street, South Los Angeles, was the victim of an accident which proved fatal when he clothing became ignited by fire last Tuesday afternoon, during the absence of her mother, who had been gone from the house but a few minutes. Little Frances was rushed to the hos- pital and special nurses and physician placed in charge, every effort being made to save her life but to no avail. She succumbed Thursday morning at 5:30 o'clock. The entire community of South Los Angeles as well as Montrovis was bowed in grief when the news went forth, even though not yet six, little Frank had endured herself in the hearts of all whom she contacted. She was born in the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Edwards, 1009 South Canyon, Monrovia and had spent most of her life with her devoted grandparents. She was an unusually bright child, having been carefully tutored by her grandmother. Funeral services were held Tuesday, January 14. Rev. Curtis, assisted by Revs. Ramsey and McCorkle, officiating. Beautiful floral pieces were sent by the Los Angeles Neighborhood Community and from Monrovia and Pasadena. These friends with a host of others join in sympathy to the bereaved family. Ernest Bendy's Ford Hits Pedestrian with Fatal Results "DYNAMITE JACKSON" HAS UNPLEASANT ACCIDENT Ernest Bendy, one of the leasing fighters for his weight in this section and who goes under the non de plume of "Dynamite Jackson," while driving his Ford car near 46th and Ascot streets on last Monday at about 7:30 P. M. had the misfortune to hit Wm. H. Green of 1375 E. 47th street, breaking both of his legs and fracturing his skull, from which injury Mr. Green died a few hours later at the receiving hospital. JURY EXONERATES JACKSON The inquest on Wednesday resulted in a complete exoneration for the fighter It was positively shown that the accident was unavoidable when Mr. Green in his hurry to catch a car at this corner failed to look cut for autos coming on the right hand side of the street. In other words Green attempted to catch a north bound car, from the wrong side of the street, disregarding the alto lane going south and was hit with fatal results. The deceased leaves a wife and daughter and other relatives. He was a hard-working and industrious citizen, and bore an excellent reputation. Race Woman to Fight for Property Much publicity has attended the recent decision of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, granting a permanent injunction, restraining Mrs. Allie Trainor, for years a prominent preacher or the gospel in this city, from occupying property purchased by her as a home and resting place in her ripe old age, on East 45th street, in the one hundred block. After a rather speedy trial, Judge Vecini, an out-of-town jurist, sitting in Los Angeles temporarily, rendered a decision in favor of the Plaintiff. At the hearing Mrs. Trainor was defended by Attorney Leland Aller (whose made a trying effort for his client to no avail. Since the rendition of the decision, Mrs. Trainor, urged on by friends and fellow worshippers, has redoubled her efforts to protect and defend herself and the race from these nefarious legal decisions by retaining Lewis K. Beeks and Hugh E. Macbeth with instructions to carry the fight to and through all of the courts possible. Memphis Police Ordered "To Shoot to Kill" MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 14—Incensed over the killing of a policeman by an unidentified Negro, who escaped, the chief of police placed a score or more of police on the case and ordered them to shoot to kill. A generous reward has been offered for the capture of the assailant, dead or alive. According to eye-witnesses, the policeman arrested his assailant who resisted. In the struggle, the prisoner took the policeman's gun from him and shot him, killing the officer instantly. The only eye-witness who could give any description whatever of the slayer was a colored woman. Armed with this description officers combed the city making several arrests but failed to get the killer. BURNS MAY PROVE N.P.—Lighting a fire in a water bucket and placing the improvised furnace near his bed, August Cummings was painfully burned in his home when the blaze spread to his bed clothing. Police reported that the man was drunk. (By ART HAMILTON) A little short bit of humanity that can sing the Blues out of this world and the next forty too, has stopped the Apex Nite club's show for two weeks running with her original and unique way of presenting them. We are speaking of no one other than Miss Laura Smith late of Denver, now of Los Angeles. That's quite a long lead for so short a little lady, but there is more to follow and about the same party concerned. She received no less than five encores Wednesday night, one of the biggest nights at the Apex Night Club. NEW ONE THIS WEEK Laura has a brand new one that she sprouts on as this week. How's this? "Have You Ever Belt That Way," is the title and Smithy must have been feeling that way, because they just wouldn't let her sit down and she came back with two more red hot numbers that took them down to the last brick. No tolling she really sang them down. Another new one and an old favorite; the new one, "Looking for You Baby and No Place to Go"; the old favorite "How Am I Going to Get it If You Keep on Snatching It Back"—that one sends them into hysterics and no less. We could tap away all day here just telling about this new little star Curtis has imported from the Rocky Mountains, but the rest of the show must command just a little of our attention. LOTTIE GEE CLICKS Miss Lottie Gee fresh from Broadway and the brightest of bright lights got away from here with two knock em dead numbers "How Am I To Know" went over like a ton of brick. Coincidentally that happens to be the writer's favorite, so I guess that had something to do with our falling so hard for Miss Gee and her warbling. She could sing that song all night for a weak straight for yours truly, with Curtis and his incomparables doing as only the Blues Blowers can do. As Stomp says, "Yeah, Yeal," and a couple of yes, yes. Along about Miss Mildred Washington and her Creole Cuties prance out in one of her original numbers, "The Team Poles" Miss Washington is a producer par excellence and it is a real pleasure to watch her 1.

ANDERSON BROTHERS-JONES Eddie Anderson and his famous brother G. Anderson along with the other third of the team Gus Jones, assisted by Rutledge and Taylor pull off a clever bootlegging stunt, only the wet stuff happens to be a dog—draw your own conclusions. The Drinard Trio always gets a hand with their clever eccentrics. IVY AND MARY Ivy Anderson and the High Priestess of Hey Hey and Miss Mary Richards, the toe dancer of note, pull off a little team dance act that takes them down to the boards. To close the regular show Miss Washington gave us one more glimpse at her high stepping chorus. WONDERFUL PROFESSIONAL NIGHT After the regular show came the hour that is known as Professional hour. All the professionals in the house are called upon to render a number and they always come thru. Most of these acts are worth the price of the best stage show in town. Curtis Carpentier, the genial assistant Mosby has added to his staff served as master of ceremonies. He brought out first for the guest's approval. Eddie and Babe, a direct transfer from big time back in Chicago to the Coast. They were a surprise package and no less. As a team they are hard to beat. Babe sang, "I Can Give You Anything but Love Baby, and although she was a little hoarse she went. Talk about a hand. Johnny Hoarse a man about town sang and danced. SPECIAL GUEST As a special guest, Dr. Layton Hamilton of the Pacific Showman's Association occupied a ringside table, Dr. Hamilton has just returned from a trip to Australia and the Apex was voted by the Doc to be the best entertainment; that he has seen in two years. ABE LYMAN'S BOYS THERE Al Gail of Abe Lyman's famous music makers just returned from Europe, did by special request "Wouldn't It Be Wonderful" and "In Your Own Back Yard." Al is just a kid, but that baby can really go. Paul Small of Paul Whiteman's who was anything but small gave his impression of Fatty Arbuckle doing a buck and wing. Creole Caroline Snowden just had to do Louisiana and Baby Look What You Done to Me. Claude Collins also by special request rendered "Waiting for Ships That Never Come In." Stomp closed the show with his famous impersonation of Al Jolson singing "Sonny Boy." Climb down off my knee Sonny Boy, you just none of mine, Sonny Boy—Guess the rest. STARS LAURENCE CRINER The production this week features Laurence Criner, who takes the part of the third party in the story, that's always the dangerous part you know. It is a human story of every day life that carries a lesson for the young married couples and the old ones as well. Cleo Desmond plays the part of the going wrong wife, with Andrew Bishop cast in the role of the misunderstanding husband. They have been married just about two years and have had one baby and it died. Jack Sheridan (Andrew Bishop) is a pretty successful young business man and he lives out in the suburbs with his charming wife Agnes (Cleo Desmond.) As it always happens, Jack can't give his wife the many pretty clothes she would like to have and she starts work to get them, not letting her husband know of course. Jack catches her in several lies and then there is a big scene and he turns her out with the man he believes she is in love with. Incidentally this man happens to be the man that gave Sheridan his start in the business world. COMES BACK The next day Agnes comes back for an understanding is made between Jack and his wife and it finally comes to light that his wife is working for this man as his private secretary to get money to buy the pretty things her heart longs for. Rupert Marks Miss Kennedy, a new comer, score a hit as the next door neighbors. Barrington Carter as the old book peddler and Laurence Criner as the third party are all there.

Harry Smith Rates in New York According to Jimmy Woods (By ART HAMILTON) In looking over our exchanges this week, something hit the old apple for a circuit run and a little more to boot. Jimmy Woods in his Sport Topics was making it a little hot for Thomas McArdle in regard to the rating he gave certain boxers in the Brudstreet of the fictive world and more because he failed to rate a boy of color that according to the way Jimmy was speaking deserved a top spot rating and no less. This McArdle is some bug in the hit and take game if you would like to know it and this kid of color that Jimmy Woods is raving about must be the goods and no less. Woods writes with a wonderful non-partisan style. HOW McArdle RATES THEM Thomas rates the leading middleweights as follows: The big Eastern man starts off with Mickey Walker, the champ in first spot and then caries on thusly: Ace Hudkins, Rene DeVos, Len Harvey of England; Dave Shade, Harry Ebets, Gorilla Jones, Vince Dundee, My Sullivan, and Doc Owrad (never heard of him) nary a tickle does he give Ll' Harry Smith and believe me that riles our friend Jimmy Woods up something terrible. Woods becomes so bold as to hint maybe Harry and the man behind him might not be in concord with the powers that he and that Smith has a hard time finding a place to fly his trade, but Jimmy says he does not think that of a big man like Thomas McArdle. Lets quote James for a change, just to give you an idea how wrought up the kid was over the neglect McArdle showed in overlooking Harry Smith. Here it is: "Still, I know that Thomas is astute in matters ratio one of the smartest of the company's business. As a matter of fact the letter alleges that Mr. Bloyd himself has been instrumental in saving his firm great sums of money by his alertness in detecting persons purloining goods from the company. Honesty has its reward and Mr. Bloyd is satisfied that the same has been recognized in this manner by the firm which he attaches to serve." ```markdown ``` ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY The Hawaiian Beauty Products Company announces that it will place in every drug store, beauty parlor and barber shop in Los Angeles its wonderful discovery of the age—NO-MOR-KINK. Colored Movie Stars and Colored Society Now Demand the Refinement of Straight, Well-Groomed Hair Made Possible by NO-MOR-KINK. This Wonderful product not only straightens all kinky hair but removes dandruff and helps promote the growth of hair. NO-MOR-KINK is not an experiment It is a scientifically tested and proven product and absolutely scives the kinky and unruly hair problem. Watch For The Advertisement In This Paper Next Week A slight change in the schedule has ringmasters in the game, I also know that Thomas goes all over and misses little through his silver-rimmed specks in quest of new fistic face. How he overlooks Smith, therefore, is something of a mystery that I believe should be explained forthwith if it sooner." To go on with Woods: "For Harry has everything. He is a boxer and a hitter. Those who saw him punch Pal Silvers out or time, as we say in dear, old London, will bear me out. This is not offered in complaint of Thomas' entire rating of the middle-weight division, although Smith is about ready form Champion included. Indeed I wouldn't put Harry over Hudkina or DeVos, but he certainly should be rated above the others in Thomas' group." So spake James Woods of the Brooklyn News an up and coming young man that knows a man's worth when he sees him and doesn't let the fact of his color change his mind for him. That's all, there isn't any more. 1926, $11,758.31; in 1927, $43,222.58; in 1928 $16,130.37; and in 1929, $29,977.52. This is called "The Ninth Crusade." There were Eight Crusades in the Middle Ages, and in 1922 the Colored Women or America conducted what Dr. DuBois called "The Ninth Crusade," and raised about $15,000 to fight, lynching. Early in 1924, the Babies of Colored Mothers began "The Ninth Crusade"—and it will not cease—till Colored Babies cease, or until they are "Born free." Many branches have held contests repeatedly. Los Angeles, which leads the whole field, held its third Baby Contest in 1928 and organized the first Baby Fraternity in the history of the world. Pasadena organized Chapter Two.

According to the report of the officer, he found the three men, Clarence Hart, Etsie Eason, and Ira Stewart, robbing a freight car. He placed them under arrest and as he was taking them to jail, Hart attempted to draw an automatic pistol from his pocket. He killed Hart with a shotgun and shot the other two as they attempted to escape. Stewart was seriously wounded and Eason was killed. Weaver will be called upon to explain why he did not search Hart when the arrest was made and why it was necessary to shoot to kill, in order to capture men accused of such a trivial offense. ters: San Diego, Cal.; Cleveland, Ohio; and Jamaica, New York.

A. A. C. P. group that has consistently taught a winning fight for constitutional and citizenship rights. I rise to sincerely object and condemn the gentleman, matters not what the motive and if the success of his religious efforts depend on school segregation why here in California he is dosed to failure and like the eminent gentleman who pened that article in the white daily a few years ago, "Why I choose to be a Negro" he too shall be reduced from a leader to a follower.

Rush Suspects to Another City to Prevent Lynching Jackson, Miss., Jan. 13.—Fearing that three men suspected as the slayers of James Goode, a policeman, officers of Vicksburg, spitted the suspects here and placed them in jail for safe keeping. Goode was slain Saturday night as he was questioning three Negroes who were loitering on a street corner. A few hours after the killing James Brown, James Minor and Geo Moore were arrested as the suspected slayers. The feeling was very intense against the men so officers, under the cover of darkness and with talk of lynching going the rounds, brought their prisoners here. Since their arrival the prisoners have been closely questioned in effort to fasten the crime on one of them and charges of accessory to the crime on the other two. Each one, however, has maintained his innocence under the grilling of the officers and declare that they were not near the scene of the killing. ```markdown ``` --- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Pasadena Section Mrs. David Cunningham, Mrs. Vita Wiekile and Mrs. K. Cunningham were among the guests. Mrs. R. B. Compton surprised her husband, Dr. Compton, with a birthday party, Dr. Friday, at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson on West Mountain street. There are in the United States about 2,500 counties or districts comparable to counties wholly or in considerable part rural to which local health service under the direction or whole-time county or local district health officers is applicable and in which such service would be highly advantageous. The number of these units of population in which such service was in operation at the beginning of the year 1929 was 467, as against 414 at the beginning of the year 1928. Experience indicates that the best foundation for rural health service in the United States is the county health department under the direction of a qualified whole time county health officer. It becomes more and more evident to those concerned with practical experience in the public health field that agencies concerned with the promotion of specialized health activities, such as typhoid fever prevention, hookworm control, tuberculosis prevention, malaria control, venereal disease prevention, or child and materity hygiene, can perform most effectively and economically by combining their specific activities in and making them a part of a well-balanced comprehensive program of local official health service under the immediate direction of qualified whole time local health officers. Efficient well-ballanced whole time rural health service throughout the United States would cost about $20,000,000 a year. Apart from less of human life, human health, and human happiness, our national economic loss Did you attend the Open Forum that was held at the Friendship Baptist Church, Sunday evening? If you didn't you missed one of the rare lectures or your life. The first hour of the meeting was in the nature of a Round Table with speakers of different races expressing their views on race problems. Mr. Eleseo Reschado (Mexican) and Mr. M. Maclaude Figuracion (Filipino) both espoused the cause of human brotherhood from a Christian's point of view. They would have the many socialled Christians, scattered thru the world, lay aside their indifference and hypocrisy and in reality practice the coocrine of brotherhood of mankind. Mr. George Grant (colored) and Mr. William Busick and Mr. W. B. Thrapton (white-approached the problem of race prejudice by way of socialism. Their views were very logical and withal clearly put. According to those gentlemen, race problems have an economic basis. Dispense with economic inequalities and race prejudice will die from a lack of something to thrive on. Mr. C. L. Kahn (Hindu) and Mr. Karum Sinch (Hindu) spoke on the social, economic and political conditions that exist today in India as a result of British exploitation. A regime "of the sword and steel bullets" they called Great Britain's policy in India, Mrs. Ruth Skeen (white), Los Angeles journalist, called in words to the effect that race prejudice is cruel and basse; and should be gotten rid of by those who entertained her. Her attitude toward the Black Americans was one of mutual interest and appreciation. She had no intentions of enduring to "uplift" them; rather, she loved them for their intrinsic worth; she said that the black and white races, each, had something that the other needed. She admired the young Negroes to "not ape the white man" but develop their own genius. Mrs. Skeen's brief, sincere remarks, together with her frank and charming personality, surely struck home in the minds of the listeners. Miss Louise Gibson (white) Y. W. C. A. secretary, mentioned that she thought that economic conditions had much to do with race prejudice. The formal speaking came to a close at about 7:30 p.m.; after which about thirty people of different races went to an adjourning room in the church and held an open discussion which lasted for over an hour. We are planning to make these Forum meetings a regular occurrence in the immediate future. Watch these columns for information.

OPEN LETTER Let's start the new year off with a bang and three cheers to the corporation of the C. M. A. stores. More power and better business to them throughout the U. S. A. in 1930. We are wondering now just how many of us are ignorant concerning the existence of such an organized body among our own people? We have not read or heard much about it on the coast and we are wondering if we are getting too interracial to take note of things that our people are doing around the world. Let's get into the contest for a symbol and colors that the C. M. A.'s are putting over, not for the fifty dollars but just to show them we are interested and know about them and are hoping some day to have Los Angeles race grocery men become a part of such an organization. What do you say folks, why can we not always be Negroes anyway, mounting the ladder to power and recognition round by round. Let's start saying I'm proud of my race, glad I am a Negro and then so live and conduct ourselves that we may and dignify to the Negroes of America and hence around the world. APasadena Subscriber.

Rural Health Service In The United States By ALGERNON B. JACKSON (For The Associated Negro Press) The United States Public Health Service has recently issued a report dealing with the extent of rural health service in the United States. On Jan. 1, 1929, 467 counties or districts were provided with whole time health of officers. As health conditions in a rural community in one state influence those in other communities in that State in other states, it seems that all the State governments and the Federal Government may be perfectly concerned with the development and maintenance of efficient local health service throughout our extensive rural area. Local health officers, in doing their work efficiently, necessarily perform duties such as the collection of morbidity and mortality statistics and the carrying out of measures to prevent the spread of infection in inter-county and interstate traffic, for which the state governments and the Federal government have a degree of definite responsibility. Bylthe News The little city in Palo Verdi Valley and St. Paul Baptist Church is marching onward. The captain, the Rev. F. E. Mooney, B. D., will not be discouraged. Says he, one of the pitiful things he ever saw was a man trying to explain why he failed. Known as the man who took "it out of can't. He is is living up to his name. A born leader. A preacher and pastor of the first annually in wage earnings and other items incident to preventable sickness because of lack of reasonably efficient county health service is estimated at over one billion dollars. Mbney invested for well-directed whole time county health service yields to the average local tax-paying citizen an annual dividend in dollars and cents ranging under different local conditions from 100 to 3,000 per cent. The practical value of previously organized whole time county health units in times of disaster was remarkably demonstrated in the flood in the Mississippi Valley in 1927. All evidence obtained in the course of prolonged studies of the subject supports the claim that the dollar invested for well directed comprehensive whole time county health service yields to the public welfare more than any other dollar obtainable by taxation of the people can be made to yield in normal times.

His motto being I Can; I Will; I Must. He seems to know just what to do at all times. Saturday, January 1, Rev. Mooney had engraced Prince (Rev.) J. E. Blayechettal, M. A., D. D. of Tigre, Etatolia, now of Los Angeles, (hl. U. S. A. to be the honor guest of St. Paul and the City of Blythe. Saturday night the Prince proved himself a mighty prince indeed. Never a man spoke like this man and the view of our fatherland were made so clear and forceable our hearts were made glad. The first rain that the writer ever witnessed in California began falling and our people were greatly hindered from coming out. Only the few who live near the church. The only thing that will be needed is more room. The people are loud in their praise of His Highness. Another thing that greatly hindered pastor Mooney is that he has been confined to his bed for the past eight days and is still there at this writing. The Prince after taking in all conditions has promised to return. He will find Blythe all dressed up, a parade, etc. Rev. L. W. Minor, the local pastor of the A. M. E. Church, a friend to man to man, headed the committee that met the prince's train and also helped greatly in entertaining the Prince. Next Sunday we are praying the pastor will be able to be at his post. Under God we mean to go forward. WOMEN. REGAIN YOUTH. Do you wish the glow of youth in your life be bright?

Lynd, reprinted from an is sue of Publishers’ Weekly, Mr. Lynd tells us that most of us are spendthrift readers; that we we waste from ten to thirty minutes of each hour of reading. A survey of average adults showed a variation of from 2.5 words per second to 9.8 words, showing that many could increase their reading speed about 400 per cent. Suggestions for greater reading “mileage” as a means of finding more time to read, made by Mr. Lynd are briefly as follows: 1. Cultivate the knack of shifting gears, e¢cording to the type. of read- ing in your hand, A newspaper or a story may be read more rapidly than a history or a scientitic book. 2. Force yourself to read ‘more rap. idly than {s your custom, concentrat: ing your attention on assimilating the meaning of the sentences. 3. Do not allow the eye to break its forward sweep to pick ap words miss- ed. Try to read by phrases and ber- tenees rather than by words ortsyl. lables. 4. Establish a regular rhythm of eye-movements adapted to the length of line-and the subject matter. | Of the morning of Dec. 39, 1929 at Tthe Elks Hallat Washington St ane Central Ave. in Tos Angeles a ele: | gation of Daughters of Elks represent: ing the various Temples in this dis ‘trict, met to form: the first district As. sociation. 2g These Daughters were instrumental in taking ene of the most important Hates toward making. the world realize the meaning of Edkdom, Daughter Triplett. whose untiring jwork as District’ Deputy. presided Faver the temparary organization.

Being the son of a Methodist minister and being reared in that church he spent his early life with the family in the various communities in which his father served by reason of conference appointments. After his Grammar school years at 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 Twelfth 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 he 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.

Purchase of Sinai Temple Again Crashes News Page (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Jan. 14—Simultaneus with the announcement that the directors of Sinai Temple, the most prominent Jewish Synagogue, had purchased a site for the erection of a new temple, came the report that the present house of worship would be bought by the African Methodist Episcopal Church of the Fourth Diocese. According to present reports, the Temple will not be purchased by Greater Bethel A. M. E. Church, which is yet without a permanent place of worship, due to a fire which destroyed the church edifice some years ago, but by the entire diocese and will be known as the Diocessan Cathedral, standing as a memorial to the work of Bishop Archibald J. Carey, who presides over this district. Just prior to the holding of the A. M. E. General Conference here last year, it was reported that Sinai Temple had been purchased by the Bethel Congregation for a sum in the neighborhood of $400,000. This purchase, however, is alleged to have failed to materialize due to factional differences in the church and petty jealousies between certain bishops and officers of the church. Efforts were made to consummate the deal in order to hold the conference in the Temple, but this too fell through, due to the fact that the necessary down payment was not raised. Immediately after the appointment of Bishop Carey to this victory, in one of the most hectic meetings ever held by the conference, negotiations are reported to have been opened again for the purchase of the Temple, which is located in the heart of the Southside, 46th street and South Parkway and covering a little more than a half a block of the most valuable property in Chicago. It is known here that it is the desire of Bishop Carey to secure this property for the A. M. E. denomination, because of the value of the property and perhaps because the Baptist denomination owns the most attractive church buildings in the City of Chicago. The reported plan to make the project one of the diocese instead of a community has accorded to reports met with popular approval and it is said plans will be formulated immediately to organize a drive for the necessary funds. According to churchmen one of the foremost reasons why Bishop Carey was appointed to this District, which Friday, January 17, 1930 is reputed to be the wealthiest in the denomination laws the belief that he would be able to devise ways and means to secure Sinai Temple, which would be the pride of African Methodism throughout the country. When the first deal fell through it was freely stated that if Bishop Gaines had co-operated with Bishop Carey, the property could have been secured. This report brought changes and counter charges but not the property that was desired by the denomination. Bishop Carey came to this District after several years of active and productive, as well as effective work in building new churches. Chicago was wofully behind in this respect and his appointment was expected to bring forth certain results, one of which was the purchase of Sinai Temple. Bishop Carey is reported to have been in constant touch with the directors of the Temple and to be trying to force a sale. The Great Northern Reality Co. housed in the Anthony Overton Building, in a suit filed against the Sinai Temple directors, declared that the deal had been consummated and to date the commission of $7,000 had not been paid. Rain Fails to Stop Men Grocery Company On next Sunday morning the Benjamin J. Bowie post of the American Legion will be the special guest at the People's Independent Church, corner of 18th and Palmette streets. This promises to be a great service as the Legion will be represented on the program by some of the best musical talent of the city. The eloquent pastor, Rev. N. P. Greggs, will deliver a special sermon for the occasion. "THE GODLESS GIRL" The special feature of the evening service will be the concluding reels of that thrilling and edifying motion picture production, "The Goddess Girl." The men at this church are having a great month in spite of the rain. The attendance, programs, sermons and collections during the month of January, which was designated as "Men's Month," have been remarkable despite the inclement weather. You will miss a real treat if you fail to attend the inspiring and beneficial services at People's Independent Church next Sunday. SOUTH LOS ANGELES Geo. S.

The campaign by the personal workers will soon begin, and it is expected that the revival this year will even surpass the one held last year, which was the greatest ever held in this section of the city. The revival will begin Monday evening, January 20, at Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church, corner of E. 108th St. and Compton Ave. All are cordially invited to attend the meetings.

Cold Spot of America Is Phoenix, Arizona --- On a recent trip to Phoenix, AZ although on a mission of greeting to ent of America's distinguished citizens in this vestibule to the great and glorious Golden West we found time to find out that we really stood upon the "Gold Spot" of America. All of Arizona is pleased and feel a measure of pardonable pride in this characterization. Indeed we met our friends of years standing, those who had had from our boyhood home in "Bleeding Kansas" as well as those from other cities. We are indebted to Ed. Seymour of the Capital Real Estate Co., for many courtesies and his interest in our presence. He is, in an old time friend, knew everything about Kansas and everybody we knew as well. Reminences were in order and each of us got our ears full. --- We met Edward Noble, a boyhood friend, though years had passed, we seemed again as boys on the "Old Spot" of America. Then we met our good old Los Angeles friend, the very astute and resourceful Dr. William H. Foster, who is a full fledged citizen of Arizona and enjoying a most wonderful practice in his profession. Then the former business associate with us in Los Angeles, now a prosperous citizen of Phoenix was J. D. Washington who is making a record for service and advancement in this wonderful section of this country. We called at the office of W. H. Shelten, big time realty dealer and regretted his absence. Likewise did we call upon others. Among other prominent citizens whom we met were, Prof. Aldrich of the public schools; Mr. Howard, all of our fraternal brother of the L. B. P. O. E. of W., and their hospitality and greetings cannot never be duplicated let alone so exciled. Through the courtesy of Mr. Seymour we visited the State Capitol and met many o the state's officials all of whom tendered us a most cordial greetings. During our short stay we were much impressed with the "Gold Spot" and its citizens. We see here a wonderful opportunity for development and a friendly gesture from all sides to aid and assist those who would go forward. We like Phoenix and when we leit we solemnly promised a return visit to get better acquainted that we can at all times shake hands across desert, plains and mountains for the onward march of progress for all people from the "Gold Spot" of America to the great and mighty Golden West which is the boundary line for all the rest.

On the contrary I have through the years urged Negroes to support it with their dollars." May I request, Mr. Editor, that you give space to this letter so my position on this particular subject, past and present, may be clarified in the minds of all! Sincerely yours, GEORGE S. SCHUYLER ABRAHAM LINCOLN (Continued from Page One) torm informed of them. Long observation confirms the writer in this bedfell. Hero-worship is the common glory or common weakness of mankind. it is natural then that the American Negro group, starting upward with its new freedom, having no historic back ground, with its own racial heroes, should soon adopt one. it is natural, too, that it should choose as its patron salut the man from whom had come the vast amelioration of its lot, so sudden that to untrained minds it was nothing less than a miracle. Abraham Lincoln, thus chosen, was well-fitted for such a role. Strange man he was, and strangeness is a necessary element of miracles. He was to once the gloomiest, and the man most given to honor, who ever sat in the presidential chair. At once with the tenderness of a gentlewoman, and with a fatalism that in pursuit of his purpose enabled him to withstand an outrage of blood that might have made a Caesar or Bonaparte cause. And at once, he was both devotee and infidel. The generation that witnessed the miracle remained true to its amounted. And the succeeding generation. Not today, in the second generation, shepties are abroad among this people. If启蒙ism is rampant in the land now theirs by legal title. Among Americans of the dominant group they see that it is well nigh the beginning and the end of wisdom. Among those sketches are men brilliantly endowed and of high attainment. Such men sometimes impress by show prestige, despite a meagerness of evidence. But the love given by the Negro people to Abraham Lincoln by reason of tremendous achievements for them accomplished will not be sneered away by misguided sketches, however brilliant. Natural impulse, more powerful than subtle argument, will hold this people true to its first love. And never was man more worthy of the love of a people than Abraham Lincoln. Strangle Aged Woman To Death MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 14—By A. N. P—Police believe that in the arrest of Gil Hamilton and Elvis Beard, the murder of two aged women, who were found straugled to death in their home, has been solved. Miss Eliza House, age 70, and her sister, Vivie, were found dead in their home a few days ago. The marks on the throat indicated that they had come to their death from strangulation and the fingerprints of the murders were clearly defined on their throats. The drag-net was thrown out and when pulled in Tuesday morning it contained Hamilton and Beard, who were reported to have been seen leaving the Smith home about the time the women were murdered. Robbery has been given as the theory of the murder and the two suspects will be given a preliminary hearing at an early date. Due to the age of the women and brutality of the crime, feeling is high against the prisoners but no mob violence is expected since all parties are Negroes. Dr. Chas. A.

In order to enforce the law it is claimed by the government the killing of many human beings is justified. On the other hand it is claimed by others that the killings are wollot unjustified and constitute nothing short of murder, committed by sanction of our government. This is a sad situation and it is strange to us that out of all these great minds including the Hearst newspapers, they fail to visualize the real impediment in the way of law enforcement. Failing to do so we would suggest the trite saying of Abraham Lincoln, who said the government cannot stand "half slave and half free." This having proved to be true indeed, then how in the world can our government as now constituted, exist by its policy of enforcing the 18th Amendment and ignore the 14th and 15th Amendments. The President said, enforce all laws, and yet they go merrily on their way without one gesture toward the enforcement of either the 14th or 15th Amendment. This being so is it any wonder that human beings are losing their lives every day and that anarchy almost prevails in so far as the enforcement of the 18th Amendment is concerned and thus it will ever be unless there is an awakening in the hearts and consciousness of the American people that all laws must be impartially enforced or there will be none of them respected as they should be. WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION The incident which happened last a communist party made a wonderful d monster of prejudice, will impress mith the country and at the same time, will dis same people, that the Communist Party They will believe that it is a party with they know might be the reincarnation of Brown, Sumner, Lovejoy and Lincoln. We must say that any party which cipals, the eradication of prejudice is insideration of all peoples. The incident which happened last week in Pittsburgh, Pa., when the communist party made a wonderful demonstration against the hydra monster of prejudice, will impress millions of fair-minded people in this country and at the same time, will dispel the clouds and enlighten this same people, that the Communist Party is not what it has been painted. They will believe that it is a party with a heart and soul, and for all they know might be the reincarnation of the party of Garrison, Old John Brown, Sumner, Lovejoy and Lincoln. We must say that any party which has for one of its cardinal principals, the eradication of prejudice is indeed a party worthy of the consideration of all peoples. SAN DIEGO POINTS THE WAR The County Supervisors at San Diego decided to employ the old adage, "Charity begins at one," and ordered that the habit of employing alien labor on public works at the expense of resident labor must cease. The The practice has become quite a fixed habit for contractors who are more interested in personal profits than in public welfare to employ Mexican labor which they could secure cheaply and exclude home labor. This has caused an alarming situation of unemployment among native citizens, and consequently distress. The County Supervisors were of the opinion that such a practice was not only stretching Charity beyond bounds, but was imposing an injustice upon American citizens who badly need and certainly ought to have work. This was a sensible step in the right direction. If all Committees would follow San Diego and see to it that those of us who have borne and must of necessity bear in future, the burden of promoting the welfare and prosperity of our native land are fed, clothed and housed FIRST and then import only such outside labor as will be required to supply a deficiency, this awful situation would soon be remedied and a fine and substantial foundation will be laid for the new era of prosperity which we hear will soon come.

If it depends on satisfying those who have previously bought its goods, it is likely to see its trade diminished. Population changes more rapidly now than formerly, and if a firm has a certain list of customers this year, it can expect, as the result of all the changes that naturally occur, that a considerable proportion of those customers will not be on the list in a year or two. Also people are changeable in their habits, and unless a very energetic effort is made to hold old customers by advertising, a lot of them will go elsewhere, attracted by the various inducements that are offered them. People are not much inclined, as they were often formerly, just to trade at one place or a few places right along year after year. They are quick to get the idea, if some firm seems to be hustling a little harder than its competitors to please the people, and no feeling of habit or sentiment of loyalty is apt to hold them, if they think they can do better by going elsewhere for something they want. By an active campaign of advertising, a firm can keep making new business friends, to make up for those who drift elsewhere. It does not take elaborate persuasion to win such new customers in these times. People are ready to go to any place of business where the spirit of enterprise and hustle seems to prevail. A concern that makes it a regular practice to advertise, even if it does not take any great amount of space, will have constant stream of inquirers entering its doors, who will more than make up for old customers who go elsewhere.

Considerable discussion is heard these days as to the means that may be adopted to keep folks on the farm. The situation has become serious, for many experienced farmers are making into the cities, either for the purpose of earning what they consider easier money, or to use their savings in giving their children and themselves the advantage of city life. Whatever the cause, the situation remains, and it constitutes a problem that may well engage the attention of national and state authorities. The fear is expressed that the production of food may become reduced to such an extent that scarcity will not only greatly increase prices, but threaten the welfare of the people. While the reasoning is purely academic and subject to the views of each individual it is probably true that the persons who make occasional trips from the rural districts to the larger towns enjoy these visits and the things they see much more than those who see them every day. It is a case where familiarity sometimes breeds contempt. In the matter of better school facilities in the towns, there is in most cases no place for argument, although some progress has been made in a number of states to bring about a centralization of teaching that gives country pupils some of the advantages of the city in a course of study. There is nothing to justify undue pressure to keep men and women and boys and girls on the farms. Rural life should be so attractive in itself that enough persons will make choice of the country life to insure the crops of grain and quantities of other foodstuffs needed to maintain all the people at a reasonable cost. NO CAUSE FOR WORRY There is always more or less worry of us who do not have it worry about have it are often put to a great deal o There is always more or less worry connected with money. Those of us who do not have it worry about getting it, and those of us who have it are often put to a great deal of worry in hanging on to it. In addition to this no little worry is brought on by the desire to make a jitney grow where only a penny grow before. It seems as though poets and philosophers have conspired to bring money into disrepute, so anxious are they to tell us that the mere possession of it is a great burden. In more recent times there has come to us the warning that money carries germs. Germ experts even went so far as to demonstrate that a bank clerk's occupation was particularly hazardous because he handles so much money. But now this dread has been dispelled. After exhaustive investigation on the subject of money as germ carriers two Illinois University experts assure us that this danger has been greatly exaggerated. It seems that the materials or metals from which coins are made act as destrovers of bacteria. This relieves us of the worry connected with the handling of money. The next thing for some expert to do is to tell us how we may be relieved of our worries in trying to get hold of it.

WHEATON Candidates, and candidates to be, those who have declared, and those who are withholding their intention to enter the race for California's governorship are many. But the declarations and near declarations have had no effect on the security of the incumbent, C. C. Young, governor, is subordinating personal political interests to the building up of the State's prosperity, and seeing that the State keeps its place in the van of the progressive commonwealths of the nation. The Governor is fulfilling the duties for which the people elected him. Under his administration the mirage of false economy has been dispelled, and the illusion, that a bursting treasury, with its idle dollars, dissipated. Instead there has been an era of improvement. State highways have been constructed and improved, unfinished state buildings, which stood ugly and repellant, with boarded up doors and windows, surrounded by a morass of unsightly land, have been changed into palaces of beauty that stand amid beautiful parks, a veritable fairyland. One of the outstanding features of Governor Young's administration has been the reorganization of the State government into departments with a head to which the bureaus and divisions of that department are responsible. The heads of the department from the Governor's council, or cabinet. Using a trite saying there can be no "passing the buck." Summing it up: There is no necessity for the Governor to be worried as to what the citizenry of California will do when the time comes to select their leader for another four years. * * * * * If the 8th Illinois regiment shs in the Cook County Jail in the Federal Court.

RADICALS AND RADICALISM Negro Convict Boarding in Ga. Abandoned by Dept. of Justice RADICALS AND RADICALISM Negro Convict Boarding in Ga. Abandoned by Dept. of Justice BY: CARL ECHOLS Why all the disparaging talk about radicis and radicalism? We have our suspicion as to the sheerity of the altruism and patriotism of those, proserious, cultured creatures who so radically delight in promulgating such talk such denimating. It has been said that we all have moments of radicalism. But of course we would be tempted to deny this. Some of us would rather lose a limb than be told that our political philosophy smacks of Bolshovism, Communism or Socialism. To be accused of LW. Wism would prove to be the seventh hell to some humans too susceptible to public opinion. "He is a Led," someone said, and forthwith the half-hearted at the way of the crowd, Champin for common justice swared by the laws of the land that he would never again be so challenging as to vary from the policy of the majority by way of entertaining opinions whose difference from those of his colleagues might draw from them rebukes and accusations of being -Radical! What is ricalism? Is it a reliignant obsession of degenerate minds bent on upsetting institutions and conventions merely for the joy of destruction? If it, then shum it as you would an arm lunatic. On the other hand, if ricalism is that force that causes one to blaze new paths with a purpose to bettering things, if ricalism is something that rises in us, when we weaken injustice, and causes us to desire to want to resist the cause of the down trodden, if ricalism is an inner resentment against wrong, causing us to revolt against oppression, exploitation, then let usLRicals. To join the ranks of such ricalism is to be partaker of such illustrous dissenters as Moses, Tom Payne, and Hass; of Lincoln, Marx, Commeau and Litz; of Toussaint L'Overtur, Beethoven and hosts of others. The radicalism of yesterday is the conservatism of today, and the radicalism of today will be the conservatism of tomorrow. Voltaire revolted against the injustice practiced by the French aristocracy against the common people. He was banned as a mast radical; but France is a Republic, and Voltaire's political funaticism is now called Democracy. Benjamin Franklin, and his fellow dissenters, were hard put when they robbed against England; but today we have the United States of America! Garrison, Summer and John Brown were the laughing stock of their day cracked-brined extremists, they were called; but as a result of their extremity, chattl' slavery has not disappeared from American soil. Because he challenged the idea that the earth was flat, *Columbus* was called crazy. Listz was ridiculed and ignored by the leading critics of his time; and Wagner's operas were refused admittance to many of the leading cities of Europe. But today, the world bows down before the pre-eminence of these radical artists. To be a pioneer is oft to be branded a radical. To be ahead of one's age is to be called wild-eyed. The men and women who lal r to bring about a better social, political and economic regime—be they Communists, C. W. Ws, or what-nots are pioneers in a sparsely settled region that some day will be a crowded metropolis. Here's to the Humanitarian radicals, may their tribe increase. N. A. A. C. P. CHALLENGES GEN. SMUTS TO DEBATE ON SOUTH AFRICA New York, Jan. 13—Following an address yesterday in Town Hall, in which remarks of General Jan Smuts of South Africa were challenged by Dr. R. R. Moton and other colored people in the audience, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to try telegraphed General Smuts, challenging him to a public debate with Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. The subject suggested for debate in the N. A. A. C. F. "telegram is, "The Relation Between Whites and Natives in South Africa And The Future Of Africa In Its Relation To European Nations And World Problems." It is further suggested by the N. A. A. C. P. that the debate be held either in Carnegie Hall or Town Hall at a date suitable to General Smuts. The telegram is signed by Walter White Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. New York, Jan. 10.—Following long and vigorous protests by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other bodies, the Department of Justice has now decided to cancel the contract by which 200 Negro convicts from Atlanta Federal Penitentiary were to be barreled in Chatham County, Georgia, to do road work. The cancellation of the contract is announced in the New York World today. When the plan first became known, the N. A. A. C. P. on October 31, 1929, wrote to Attorney General William DeWitt Mitchell, protesting against what it termed a "discriminatory practice" in singling out Negro convicts and condemning the system of convict leasing or boarding. The Association also wrote to Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, a member of its Board collecting his interest. During a long ensuing correspondence with Sanford Bates, U.S. Superintendent of Prisons, in the course of which a personal conference took place in Washington between him and Messrs. Arthur B. Spingarn, Walter White and Judge James A. Cobb, the N. A. A. C. P. maintained its position that confluent board of Negroes despite assurances that they would be well treated, was discriminatory and the practice a dangerous and undesirable one. The project was exposed in the World on December 14, and it was denounced in Congress by Senators Wagner and Borah and Representative LaGuardia of New York. On December 14, the N. A. A. C. P. wired Superintendent Bates restating its objections to the convict boarding plan, and on December 27, the N. A. A. C. P. telegraphed Senators Wagner, Hawes, Vandenbrug and Obersort to a bill which would have reorganized federal prison administration on the ground that it would "perpetuate a system by which colored prisoners will be virtually based out to southern communities." Superintendent Bates has suggested a conference in New York with representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. in an effort to arrive at some workable plan, to prevent discrimination against Negro coopers in the plan to relieve overcrowding in federal prison. Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., made the following statement on the contract cancellation: "The N. A. A. C. P. is highly gratified that the contract to board federal colored prisoners in Chatham County, Georgia, has been abandoned. We are not unmindful of the problems created by over-crowding in federal prisons. But we are against solving one problem by creating another. Mr. Sanford Bates has shown himself eager to co-operate with the N. A. A. C. P. throughout. CHAS. K. OVINGTON LIFE MEMBER OF N. A. A. C. P. DIES IN N. Y. New York, Jan. 13—Charles K. Ovington, one of the earliest members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose name is inscribed on its bronze life membership tablet, died yesterday of septic poisoning. At his bedside were his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Ovington, also a life member of the N. A. A. C. P. and his sister, Miss Marv White Ovington, chairman of the N. A. A. C. P.'s Board of Directors. The N. A. A. C. P. has telegraphed its sorrow at the death of Mr. Ovington and will be represented at his funeral. PSYCHOLOGIST TO SPEAK AT CINEMA LEAGUE SUNDAY L. A. CIVIC LEAGUE SUNDAY For the Sunday afternoon meeting of the Los Angeles Civic League, an unusually interesting program has been arranged with Dr. Debler, of the department of Psychology in Los Angeles High School, as the principal speaker, according to an announcement made by Miss Juanita Ellisworth, chairman of the program committee. Dr Debler is well known to many Angelenos as a very refreshing and forceful speaker and his address before the League is being looked forward to with considerable interest. In addition to Dr. Debler, Luvenia Harper-Patterson and Alma Billuts, two talented musicians will participate on the program. The meeting will be held at the New Y. M. C. A. 1006 Twenty-eighth st., beginning promptly at 4:30 P. M. The public is cordially invited. Friday, January 17, 1930 Los Angeles City is drifting Downward day by day. To the broad road of destruction Known as the Bonding Company Highway. Every time we have an election On the ballot you will note. There are one, two or more propositions Of bonds for you to vote. The politicians are now planning, To spring a brand new sham; The bonding of the City and County, Is a part of their new program. Bonds to build a State House, Bonds to build new City Jails, Bonds to build an acqueduct Before the old one fails. Bonds to build a Court House And tear the old one down; If we keep on bonding. We will have a bankrupt town. Los Angeles City is bonded And $157,421,962,50, is the bonded debt To pay off this indebtedness. Future generations must toil and sweat. The bonded debt is increasing. Each administration is a reckless spender. Regardless of the acmonition that, "The borrower is servant to the lender." Elementary and High School Districts, Are bonded to the core: $103,019,270.00, is the bonded sum, And they want bonds for more.

White Press on 1929 Lynching Record New York, Jan. 14—Many editors of white dailies have commented on the lynching statistics for the year 1929 sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; among the clippings received being editorors from the Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch; The Atlanta, Georgia; the Lurham, N. C.; Herald; the Philadelphia Public Ledger; the New Haven, Conn. Register; The Springfield, Mass. Republican; and the Norfolk, Va. Virginian Pilot. Excerpts from the editorors are as follows: NORFOLK VIRGINIAN PILOT: "If the figure for 1929 is accepted as the twelve listed by the National Association and if that figure is compared with the yearly figures from Tuskegee, the past year has one more lynching than 1928, but far less than any other year." COLUMBUS DISPATCH: "It is notable that attacks by Negroes upon white women, which, to a certain type of mind justifies mob violence, were only three in number. There is room for suspicion that this charge has more than once been tasted upon a helpless victim in order to lend justification to acts that are utterly without justification by any measure of right or fairness." NEW HAVEN REGISTER reprinted from Waterbury Republic: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reports that there were 12 lynchings in 1929; the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute reports 10. The difference is presumably due to a difference in classification of cases on the borderline between lynching and murder. However that may be, the record for the year is virtually that of 1928, when there were 11 lynchings according to both the Association and the Institute. Ten or 12 lynchings are 10 or 12 too many, but the annual lynching record continues at the new low level towards which it made a sharp declination in 1923." PHILADELPHIA EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER: "Twelve lynchings occurred in this country during the last year, according to statistics compiled by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Furthermore, it is reported tat not a single lyncher has been punished during 1929. These crimes are a dark blot upon the nation's record, while the failure to punish the perpetrators reflects no credit upon the forces of law and order." SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN: "The number of lynchings prevented reflects both a strengthening of the forces of law and order backed by intelligent public opinion and a continuance of the lawless mob spirit which these forces have to deal with. On the whole, the record is one of progress that is still much too slow."

Hos and suffocating, five stories up in the Y. W. C. A. I arrange my wardrobe, I would go down and mingle' in with the brown stream of humanity that bubbles over the wide, age-worn walks of Harlem. I know that all the "broods" will be about, the dandies and that heteronous mixture, the Spic of Life. I want to feel the pulse of Harlem, to listen to its heart-beat. What is that? O—o—o—oh! the sudden deatening roar, causing the noises of the streets t odwindle into insignificance. I would cover my head. Where can I hide from the penetrating flashes of light that strike dumb terror to my soul? From behind the threatening clouds, a mighty clapping is heard. Rain, rain in torrents this might in June, to me, a Californian, how strange! As quickly as it came, it is gone. Now a steaming heat, more intense than the orier air, closes up the air passages in the tiny room I occupy, driving me out on the streets that I might breathe. Glum, dumb, vagant stares meet me on this side and that; there, the open brazen masher, the sly droopy-eyed trifter. Women, loosely gowned, sloppy-fat perched on the common stoop of the tenement or apartment house, their heavy, bleared eyes give one the impression that they are under narcotic influence. How different, I thought, from the main thoroughfares of busy, bustling, brown Chicago, this—the heart of Harlem. Just a continuous ebb and flow, a motley sea of brown. I look around thinking to see, always thinking of Chicago, brown faces in the numerous stores and shops which survive from their patronage. I am surprised at the lack of them. Contentedly these sons of toil pour into the coffers of foreign white men, the means by which they may climb and scoff them. My poor people, asleep even in this great cosmopolitan center. I sicken of the atmosphere, even before I have been able to gather a fair impression, perhaps I long again for the stimulating, invigorating, inspiring spirit of Chicago. The blinking, blazing lights of the two large theatres on Seventh Avenue, owned by white men to gether in all the stray pence of arlem, make no appeal to me. My appetite grows palid, I would forget all in the arms of Morpheus. I awaken with a start! The blatant tones of the saxaphone, the slicing trombone and deep booming of the drum heard above the other instruments, rouse me from my slumbers, I think at first, sleepily, that a bunch of hoodlums are sennading. But this is New York! My mind reverberates. I pull on the light and note that it is only 12:00 o'clock. Seventh Avenue is loud with voices and music. I wonder if there is a parade or something. Sounds of whoopee in the making come up to my window. Gayety is in the very air, jazzed up to the 18 degree. I feel as if I am missing New York, all the ultra-fashionable are out on parade. Harlem that lay as if in stupor at twilight becomes a brilliant, sparkling trembling thing at midnight. The spell of night is on her. New life enters her veins, invigorating her as red wine. She is alluring, captivating! ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Nancy B. Bush of 833 East 37th St. and Henry L. Quick of 1426 East 14th St. were married Saturday evening, Jan. 11th, by Rev. Jacobs of the Christian Church, in the presence of a few intimate friends at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Thompson at 1354 East 90th St. PART ONE It was late one afternoon in November when Lyle Craig returned to his apartment. He was in a most exuberant mood that day as he had won his first criminal case in court, and at last believed he was achieving success. Lyle Craig was a young man, not quite twenty-six years of age, tall of statue, and possessed of stately features and snake maniants. He wore his hair immaculately parted in the center, and with his handsome face assumed an air of dignity and self-confidence. He was experiencing his first year in the legal world, having completed his law career, the year previous in one of the leading Eastern Universities. He chose to begin his practice in Kent, one of the larger cities of New Jersey, believing this to be more desirable to his work. His days were at first hard and often without results. Up until recently he had always, more or less been responsible to his parents, and was thus utterly unaccustomed to the depressions and setbacks that he was now undergoing. He had often sat in sullen mood recounting his failure to get ahead, and his inability to make his accent in the social world. But today had marked a change. For sometime he had been in conference with Stanley Sherwood, one of the most successful lawyers in the East. Mr. Sherwood had bared his story to Lyle concerning certain chandestine relations with a very attractive young married woman whom Lyle was now defending for the murder of her husband. Sherwood, being an old acquaintance of Craig's, earnestly implored him to keep his good name out of the case. For two months Lyle had been retained as counsel for Mrs. Joyce Churchill who was accused of having killed her husband. Mr. Churchill had suspected his wife as being quite intimate with Sherwood. One night, unwittingly, he returned home and surprised the two in a rather compromising position. To save Sherwood from disgrace and loss of reputation, Mrs. Churchill shot and instantly killed her husband. The case had been reviewed twice and due to Lyle's ingenuity and shrewdness, he succeeded in having her acquitted on the ground of lack of evidence. This accounted for his iovial mood for the time. Upon entering his room he hastily discarded his clothes and put on his bathrobe. He then telephoned his friend and ex-college chum, Jerry Bardwell, and told him of his good fortune, and also made a dinner engagement with him for the evening. The next day when Lyle returned to his office he was approached by Stanley Sherwood. Mr. Sherwood was a man of forty years and quite heavy in build. His complexion was dark, and his large eyes accentuated expression, giving the appearance of a man who could both see and observe simultaneously. Although his hair was slightly gray, he still looked to be somewhat of a younger man, but one thoroughly schooled in the struggles that Lyle was now undergoing in his profession. ed as counsel by one Mr. Lawrence Burton, president of a brokerage corporation, whose company was involved in a litigation with another company of a like name. Lyle was engaged to go over to Mr. Burton's residence the following day to run through some minor details regarding the case. While they were in the midst of their task their conference was broken off abruptly when Gwendolyn Burton came skipping into the room. She had just returned from an afternoon of tennis. Gwendolyn had just recently finished the Lamont School, an exclusive college for colored girls in Boston, and was now enjoying a life of constant ease at her father's home. She had just reached twenty-two, and touched with all the charm and poignancy so common to one of her sex. She was tall, slendor in figure, and her vivaciousness and beauty combined could readily excite the admiration of all who united to do her honor. Having been motherless for several years, her father had taken it upon himself to rear her, and one could easily discern the coolness and propriety that his debonair daughter exhibited. Yet, she was without restraint and loved athletics, dancing and bridge, so her young life was one of continued action. At sight of her father she quickly ran and jumped upon his lap, and suddenly as though conscious that there was another, presence, Feadily pardoned her actions in her own naive way. This appeared to Lyle that a deep affection existed between the father and daughter. Mr. Burton lost no time in introducing his daughter to the young lawyer, and Lyle somewhat abashed by her beauty was quick to regain his self-possession. "I am indeed glad to form your acquaintance Miss Burton," prompted Lyle, for the first time in his life reeling somewhat uneasy before the opposite sex. "Father has been telling me about your good work," continued Gwendolyn. "I hope you continue." Mr. Burton suddenly excused himself from their presence for a few moments, and left the two chatting. Upon his return he informed Lyle that their conference was concluded for the day, and that he could return the next day. It was a bright, Spring day so Lyle chose to walk home instead of using the street-car. He had recently changed his address for more pretentious quarters at the Bachelors Club, thus the distance was not far. He felt quite gay; a happy smile blossoming over his face. Could it be that his meeting with this girl had affected him? He repeatedly pictured her in his mind—she had grace, charm, beauty; indeed she had intellect. Women had never been a serious factor in his life, but at sight of this young maiden his situation had promptly changed. He found himself longing to see more of her. He wondered if she had taken him in exactly the same manner as he had taken her, and he gradually drew himself to the conclusion that his was a case of Love at first sight. The following day didn't come any too soon for Lyle Craig. He was at the Burton residence fully an hour before their schedule conference. He was admitted in by Gwendolyn's Aunt Hettie. She was governess to Gwendolyn and created a motherly interest over her. Upon Lyle's arrival she hastened to summon her niece, and then retired quickly from the room. Presently Gwendolyn came gliding lightly into the room and greeted Lyle with much ecstacy. She was clothed very prettily and appeared more beautiful to him than the day before. "You are very prompt, Mr. Craig, father has not returned yet, but I know he won't be long," she explained, as quickly as she could. "Yes, I see that I am, but I had minutes to spare so I came early. Are you going somewhere?" "No, I am glad you have cmoe because I have just been dying to have someone to talk to," she spoke regarding him searchingly. He smiled gaily as she repeated this and said: "Why that is the reason I came so early," an dither both laughed joyfully. "What do you wish to talk about? He asked smilingly, and then leaped a little toward her. "Oh! Just anything! Maybe our minds are unusually well attuned." Gwendolyn returned promptly. They talked about everything of interest. She about her past school days, and Lyle, all the time, regarding her searchingly. "Very lovely," he thought to himself, and time and again he caught himself longing to crush her to him. This was a pleasing sensation to him and he secretly hoped that Mr. Burton's delay would be boons long. "Do you love outdoor sports?" she THE MUSICIAN John Bales of "Downtown Song" fame, and Rake Dupuis, Ivory in "Ris Rita," which comes to Curtsey Circle on Thursday, November 21, following an Will Rogers engagement in "They Had to So Porris," "Ris Rita" is the greatest of all REO productions. Carli Elinor, managing director of the Circle, declares that not since the Merry Widow has such a funnelful production as "Rio Rita" been produced in America. The original Florenz Ziegfeld production has been sound and color filmed in its entirety with such romantically beautiful amplification that even Ziegfeld declares it a hundred time superior to his sensational New York stage success. John Boles" of "Desert Song" fame, and Bebe Daniels are the principals in a cast consisting of a dozen other noted artists who can really sing, as well as 80 singing and dancing girls, 90 vocalists in choral and novelty presentations Again! The Abnormal Vote Vantage of the South BY: WILLIAM PICKENS Southern senators are controlling the senate, in spite of the fact that they represent a minority of the population of the country and a still smaller minority of the votes in the last national elections. This is the complaint of the Chicago Tribune, through its Washington correspondence. But the Tribune is not complaining because this over-valued southern minority is defeating the sacred high-tariff aims of the regular Republican. You know, it all depends on whose ox is pured. The south, reinforced by a few insurgent Republicans can master a coalition of fifty-one senators out of the 95, leaving only 44 votes in the control of the so-called dominant party which was put into office by an questioned him "Yes, I am fond of them, and always take advantage of them when I have time." Then you must come to our Windemere estate over the weekend. I am inviting a few friends and I know you will enjoy it." Shortly Mr. Burton arrived and their long-term romance was broken off. Lyle informed him that he had arranged with the counsel of the opposing foe for a meeting of the new party. Mr. Burton was very well pleased to learn that the case had been settled, and then concluded their conference. From the success of this case a meeting friendly grew up to be then the two which helped to Louella Parsons, noted dramatic critic, says of "Rio Rita": "What a gloriously beautiful and tuneful picture! Here is one of the very greatest spectacles the taking pictures have ever had. Bee Daniels, the singer and singa vinyly. John Bolzai is charming and his voice dramatic and golden in tone. You must see it again and again." One song hit follows another in "Rio Rita" by the authors, Harry Tierney and Joe McCarthy, Tierney wrote the music for "Irene," "Kid Boots" and the world famous "Alice, Blue Gown." The "Rio Rita" settings are admittedly the most magnificent ever made for a screen musical comedy, combining drama with beauty. On gowns alone nearly a million dollars was spent to appeal to femininity, and the sensual surprise with her glorious voice. overwhelming and unprecedented majority, of the American people in the last presidential election. But these fifty-one senators actually represent a minority of the population of the United States, in spite of the fact that the coalition includes the whole south with some northern allies. This bloc which is dominating legislation represents a still smaller minority of voting citizens; and if we took out the two New York senators, who are included in this fifty-one, the forty-nine left could still control all legislation, even though they would represent still smaller minorities, with New York's million taken out. Maybe the Republican machine and the "high tariff" crowd will begin to appreciate the Negro's charges against this same "rotten-borough" power which disfranchises and enslaves him. What it takes to awaken sympathetic understandings is community of interest. If these United States are really united, and if the people are to rule in them, then the constitution should be amended, apportioning to the states one senator for each one million people, but guaranteeing to each state at least one senator. That would make us have 120 to 125 senators, instead of 96, but we would be nearer to government by the people. At present a senator elected by less than 40,000 votes in disfranchising Alabama can mollify the vote of a senator elected by 800,000 votes in Illinois, or one commissioned by millions of votes in New York. When the Union was a loose confederation of petty states, that was logical and necessary; but since the Civil War wielded the country into one indispensable nation, that is illogical, and vicious. New Orleans, La, Jan. 14—By A. N.P.; Arthur Weight was arrested on charges of murdering William White, 58 December 15. Wright was pointed out by William White, Jr., as the man who shot his father. Negroes are always talking about what white people have done to them. Some white people have done and some are still doing some mighty wicked things to Negroes, but some other white people have done and some are still doing more for us than we have done or are now doing for ourselves. Let's see what they have done for us. They rescued our Music. Twenty years ago Negroes were ashamed of their own Music—Negro students in our greatest University leo a revolt against singing it. So-called Northern Negroes turned up their noses in scorn at it; white Americans loved it and rescued it for us. As a result, today, the world weeps when Roland Hayes pouns the soul of his race in its own wild, weird and plaintive songs. Secondly, white Americans discovered and immortalized Booker, T. Washington for us; Negroes threw brickbats and rotten eggs at him. White Americans threw bouquets and greenbacks at him. Hao it been left to us, Tuskegee would be a little two by four school in the backwoods of Alabama, because we didn't want to learn how to work, and that's all we saw in the Tuskegee ideal. White people accepted the new gospil of industrial education as a thing of fundamental value in the life of the nation; we despised and tried to repudiate it. Third, the genius and labor of Paul Lawrence Dunbar would have been lost had white Americans not put it between de luxe bindings and gave it a permanent place in the libraries of the world and above all, a warm place in men's hearts. Fourthly, they opened every theatre in the world to Roland Hayes and wept with him as he carried his race through the "Deep River" up to Calvary to see the triumph of Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion. White Americans saw Carter G. Woodson sitting helpless before the hidden achievements of his race longing to tell the world what the Negro has been doing in America during the past three hundred years. They gave him the money to write the history of the race to preserve its story of struggle and its record of achievement. They opened wide the door of science to George W. Carver and displayed his fifty-seven varieties to the world. They have established the going of hundreds of other Negroes of genius. These are spiritual contributions because they are the unstinted recognition of genius and the conversation and development of things that are of fundamental value in the life of the race and the nation. Let its drop down out of the realm of the spiritual and list just a few of the contributions that white people have made to the meterial development of the Negro in America: 1. They have financed all of our large schools and are now endowing several of them. 2. Built all of Y. W. and Y. M. C. A's. 3. One City, Cleveland, Ohio, has given a Negro woman a million dollars for welfare work in that city. 4. White Americans have created all the foundations that we have to aid us in our upward climb. A steady decline in percentage of voters participating in national elections in the south was noted. In many states there has been a positive numerical decline despite the extension of the ballot to women. Tries to Take Gold From Woman's Teeth Tarboro, N. G. Jan. 14—George Jenkis and Olivia Morgan were sweethearts and during those days he paid for some dental work, gold fillings, which was termed necessary. A few days ago the two lovers came to the pairing of ways and George decided that he wanted his gold fillings back. To secure the gold he knotted his former sweetheart down and failed to extract the gold by force. "This fact, however, had done a good job and George was foiled. Not only was he foiled but he was haled before the court. The judge after hearing the unusual case acted as a peacemaker, and once more George and Olivia are sweethearts.

Just picked te California voice up from Oakland, California, and was scanning over Byton (Speed) O'Reilly and his stuff and gee wheebhy he thinks that George Dixon the northern middleweight that created so much havoc among the white boys at little white back was given a raw deal in his last bout with Wes Ketchel the southpaw from up that way. Ketchel put the lights out for George once in about a round, when Dixon was off his guard and was going at a pretty fast clip and took the hard hitting southpaw lightly. This was a rematch and Dixon was the favorite and according to reports beat the white boy with ease, but the third man in the ring got color blind and couldn't see anything but white at the end of the ten rounds. Here's what Speed says, "The worst the coffee colored middleweight should have received was a draw. And even though he had a big edge, winning five of the 10 rounds, with two for Ketchel, being a colored battle, we figured he would get an even break. (If he had been white, there would have been no question) but Burns, to the astonishment of nearly the entire ringide, circles around Dixon at the final, to raise the fair had his hand amid the new that were drowned out by the "boo" chorus. One fan, who bet on Ketchel, said he gave his money up, thinking Burns had made a mistake. He did, says O'Reilly. **BRUCE HOLDS TUT EVEN** Bruce Flowers the New Rochelle lightweight got his big chance with King Tut one of the casts, leading lightweights and held him to a draw after a long hard fight. This Bruce kid can go some and fights them all. BABY JOE DUE HOME SOON Just happened to think about Baby Joe Gans the counter punching artist that calls Los Angeles his home and who has not been home for over a year or mighty close to it. Baby Joe has been in the east fighting regularly and making lots of those from men. Gans fighters often and as always in shape. He had a little hard luck with his right paw, and was on the shelf for awhile, but now that fingers is K, O, dealing and the Babe is back among the boys. Incidently no one less than Jack Dempsey, rated by many to be the best heavyweight ever produced now then or ever, rates Gans as the leading Junior Weiterweight in the country. DEMPSEY'S RATING OF (By: A. N. Y.) New Orleans, La., Jan. 13—Elijah Thompson who was stabbed by his sweetheart, Mattie Mitchell, is reported recovering. Thompson was stabbed in the abdomen and was taken to Charity Hospital. A few minutes after his arrival he deserted the institution against the wishes of the physician who pronounced the wound serious. The woman escaped. BLACK BOYS The former world's heavyweight champ has published his list of fighters and how they stance in his estimation and black boys head three divisions. KID CHOCOLATE OUTSTANDING The outstanding black fighter now is Kid Chocolate, the Cuban Flash, who is running amuck in the best boxers in the world today, having yet to lose a battle to any man. The closest he ever came to losing was a draw and he came back and defeated the kid that had the nerve to hold the great Chocolate even. This Kandy, Kid is truly a great fighter. No other fighter in the world today or any past boxer can boast of the record this kid from Cuba hold 106 fights and not one defeat listed. Dempsey or any one else that is the least hit broadminded and are picking men because of their ability and not because of their color know that Chocolate is the world's best and greatest fighter in the feather weight class. Other writers have listed the Kid second or some have picked him not at all. These men did not pick men because of their ability, they picked them because of the color of their skin and anything to keep that fair skin listed as the world's best. AL BROWN BEST BANTAM Al Brown the elongated bantam is the world's best bet in the 118 pound class according to Jack and not only does Dempsey reconize him as the best, but most of the States in the Union know and accord the kid the right which is his. **BLACK BILL RATED** Kid Chocolate's stabilemate Black Bill another one of the Cuban boys is rated as the best flyweight in the country and the boy is pretty good according to all eastern reports and he would not be rated so by Jack the Dempsey if he was not. **PUZZLES** But, have you noticed that no one black boy is rated among the first seven in the heavyweight class? Maybe that old black meance that has been following the white boys every where they go is about to let them be for a while. Who knows. We have several good heavies but none at the present time that could be listed up there with the big unts. Snow Sports at Camp Seeley Toboggan Slide Seesley Winter Sports A fair sleigh-er Camp Seesley Lodge Recent heavy snowfall at Camp Seeley, the L. A. municipal playground in the San Bernardino mountains, has drawn thousands of Southern Californians to the camp so frctic amid wintry scenery. A great snow capipal will climax the season at Seeley next Saturday and Sunday. With Camp Society, the Los Angeles municipal mountain playground, blanketed under more than a foot of snow as the result of recent storms, final preparations are this week being made for a huge Winter, Sports Carnival to be staged at the camp on Saturday and Sunday, January 18 and 19. This event, which will start the snow season in the mountains of Southern California, will be put on by the Playground and Recreation Department of the City of Los Angeles with the aid of the ten communities in the "West End Rim O' the World" district of the San Bernardino mountains. It will include thrilling ski-jumping, ice-skating, snow-shooting, and other exhibitions by noted stars of this and other sections of the nation.

Chamber of Commerce in vo-operation with mountain recreation places of Southern California. The snow carnival on Saturday and Sunday is expected to result in many persons getting their first introduction to the ice and snow in Southern California. In order to make the city playground more attractive to the public, low rentals and charges for sports equipment and accommodations have been established. Rentals of tobogans, sleds, skis, snowshoes, ice-skates and other paraphernalia will be carried on a non-profit basis. Similar low rates for the use of sleeping cabins and housekeeping cottages have also been set. Overnight visitors to the camp during the carnival or on other week-ends will be able to make their own meals, or to buy them at the new camp calcteria. San Bernardino Fight News Tht Gate City had no fights last Thursday as usual, because the old, weather man pulled a fast one on the club and only $300 worth of business showed up by fight time so the card was called off. The bout was supposed to have been between Roy (Crab) Smith (never heard of outside of San Berdoo) and Bert Colima the Mexican favorite. Old man weather was so very bad the manager just called everything off and told the fans to come back next week and a high class box fighting show would be on for their pleasure. It was a case of too much left hand Tuesday night at the Olympic fights when Fidel La Barba the Stanford fighting man took Frank Churchill's Island boy down the lane for ten rounds straight. Left against right and the left won because it was educated. The right was always dangerous, but she did not come within an ace of winning Tuesday night. PUMPS LEFTS TO BODY Blake's boy started out pumping lefts to the body and he sure was some fast baby with that left paw of his. He hit the Filipino three to one the majority of the time. Fernandez tried, hard and was for- ever coming in for more, but he was no match for the fast and clever college boy. La Barba cut the island boy to pieces and had him draped over the ropes several times from those hard hooking lefts. Once in a great while the little Italian let the brown boy have a hard right to the lux, but not often. In fact he did not have to use his right hand to any extent. He could'and was beating Churchill's boy to the punch with a lighting left. TOUGH SEVENTH The Island boy had a tough time of it in the seventh. It seemed as if La-Barba would drop him for the long count several times, but the game brown bry came back for more and more every time. No matter how many times that snaked左 beat him to the punch he was right in there every time for more and more forever trying to land that deadly right that put the sensational Al Singer down for the Long Toll. But Fidel was way too smart for that and he lefted and lefted and more lefts until he had his man left-hand crazy and then all at once let him have that right. That seventh was a tartar. CHOCOLATE MUST BE GOOD As we set there watching a master give a lesson in the art of boxing we couldn't help but think about the world's most sensational boxer in the ring today. Kid Chocolate, the Cuban flash that has yet to taste the bitter dragons of detest. The Kandy Kid caught Fidel La Barba in New York last year and beat him. And the way Fidel was shooting Tuesday night he locked like a champ and was fast as lightning. Just couldn't help but think that this Chocolate must be a world's wonder. La Barba as good a man in the division as he was then and is now couldn't do a thing with the greet Bon Bon kid, now you know that that Chocolate is some fighter and no less. The way La Barba looked the other night, means it is going to take a mighty hard man to stay ten rounds with him and then get his duke raised. ..... SAMMY JACKSON WINS ..... Summy Jackson the Beach kid from down Seata Monica way is going great gums still and getting better than the post. Sam is some little weightweight and will soon be rating a rating somewhere else, and that also will be in the East, where the real change is. Take it, Sammy. The colored boy went to the post and took Paul Delaney the hard hitting welter that gave him some trouble last time and took him with ease this time. The first two rounds were about on an even basis and after then it was a simple thing for Sammy to out-box and out-sug the white boy. PUNAY'S EXPERIENCE WINS Rito Punny knew too much for Lecky Gonzalez and let him have the sleeping powders in the fourth room for good. This was the special. Mosby's Music House Bert Colima Comes Back Next Week After Six Months Bert Colima the Whittier Mexican comes back to the Olympic next Tuesday night in a main event against one of his countrymen, Joe Peregrina. This is a middleweight natural, if there ever was one. Old Bert has not shown in the Angel city for over six months. He was suspended for fouling Everett. Strong at Hollywood and the boxing commission thought that our friend Bert had been committing the fooling business just a little too much and they set Bert had to to leave the country to get work. Since the headmen of the boxing game in California set the Mexican back he has been into his own country, Mexico, to get battles. He played around up north for a long time, but there was no money up there and he didn't stay long. SHOULD BE GOOD FIGHT This pending battle between Bert and Jose should be a very good fight. Club on Seventh Avenue late Saturday evening. The squadron under the direction of M. R. Livingston of Washington, swooped down on the club during the evening's gaiety. Liquor was flowing freely over the bar and forty couples, white and colored, were dancing when the investigators including Agents Louis Kelly and Ray Connelley, entered with drawn reinovers. Patrons, waiters and proprietors of the club were lined up against the wall and searched. All were released except the three officers of the club from whom the Federal agents testified they had mace purchases of dope across the thriving bar. The three officers of the club, taken to Federal Building as the raids continued were Louis Black and his brother, Frank Black, and Frank Porco, president, vice-president, and treasurer, respectively. According to Livingston, purchases of narcotics had been made from Louis Black as well as across Both are colorful fighters and their countrymen lock out to see them by the hundred. Peregrina holds away at Carlo Curtis Main Street Boxing Areas, while Colima draws the brown skinned folks into the big house on Grand. Jose has been in in the Olympic before but has always failed to deliver the goods, so therefore he had to go back to the sticks for more training. His manager thinks he is ripe for the big test now and is showing him in against one or the most popular men that ever fought at the Olympic. MATCHED AT SAN BEE NARDING Colima was matched at San Berdoy with Roy (Crab) Smith a couple of weeks back, but the rain spoiled the show and they had to call it off until a later date. ARMAND SANTIAGO OMING Armeno Santiago the hard hitting Cuban of the Frank Churchill entourage is due to come West to do battle with Hilly Townsend the blond north-west ruthenic Wildcat Carter's house of becoming a big sheer abouts. Carter had planned to move down from Seattle after his fight with Goldie Hess, but Billy took that idea out of his head by dropping him so many times in the first round this writer lost track of them. U. S. District Attorney Charles Tuttle, prominently mentioned as the next candidate for Governor on the Republican ticket, took charge of the questioning of the men late Saturday opening. The suspected members of the Gope candidate were horded into separate office days "criminal alley." None was permitted to communicate with the outside and so spread warnings of the raids. More importance is attached to these raids than any held recently. It is believed that this dope ring flourishes in Harlem and the clues which led to the Harlem raid are carefully concealed with the exception of the revelation that the leakage came through the files of Arnold Rothstein and on tips secured from the personal diary of the late Jeanne Eagles last summer. MRS. J. W. RICARDSON PASSES AWAY Mrs. J. W. Richardson, wife of Porter Richardson of the Los Angeles District, passed away last Monday at her home on Baird street, Central avenue Gardens. Mrs. Richardson was a member of the Women's Economic Council, and the second wife of Mr. J. W. Richardson, who departed this life in California. The Angelus Funeral Home will have charge of the funeral. All porters of this District are in deep sympathy with Mr. Richardson over the loss of his wife.

C. COLEMAN TO WORK IN YARDS. C. Coleman, let out of service recently, was assured of the fact that if he wished to return to the service he would be allowed an opportunity to learn the business from the ground up by going to work in the yards.

EVANGELIST SPECIAL LEAVES MARCH 25TH Three hundred gospel spreading individuals will clamor on board a special train headed by Mrs. Aimees Semple McPherson, famous West Coast Evangelist, March 25th for New York City, where they will board the steamer) George Washington for Europe on a tour. Besides visiting the different countries in Europe, they will take in the famous Passion Play at Oberammerrue. BAKER HEATER REPORT FROM KANSAS CITY One of my Baker Heater agents brings me the report from Kansas City that in a very short time a great change will be made in this District. He claims that the Pullman Company is going to do away with the Assistant General Manager's office in Frisco and put a zone Superintendent there instead, and he me further that the Zone Superintendent will be Mr. Vroman, now located in Chicago. He also stated that our present Superintendent, Mr. O. W. Snoddy will take charge of Houston, Texas, and Mr. Armstrong of San Francisco will pack up his belongings and move here. I sure hope that this report has not a solid foundation, as the porters of this District would sure hate to lose such a splendid official as Mr. O. W. has been during his brief administration. I for one would be very sorry to see Mr. O. W. leave. Another rumor to the effect that Mr. Gibney of Chicago Northern might come out here anyway, where there is so much smoke, there's bound to be some fire. Keep your eyes open. Maid Tennie Upton, which was the moniker bestowed upon the madam by the Pullman Company was due out the evening of the 14th on the Los Angeles Limited to Chicago. I was all packed up and set to go on the Movie car the morning of the 14th. The madam returned home about 4 p.m., somewhat, cooked off. The Pullman Company had been ringing the phone off all day long trying to get in touch with her, but I could not find out what for. And I suppose that they just wanted her to double as they very often did. Agam and again the phone rang. "Tell her to call the office as soon as she and I did. This was my waiter." She called the office, and I curious to know what it was all about lip-blood near the phone. All I could hear was "yes, sir, sir," and my curiosity became aroused greater than ever. She finally hurry up, and as she did so, I noticed a broad smile upon her face. "Well, what's the dose?" I asked. "Why, the Pollman Company says that the party you are going with wants a maid, and they have asked me to go along." "WSAAT! Well I will be d——" That's my finish. I knew that something would turn up to take all the joy out of life, it all seemed too good to be true. No freedom for me now, nor any wild trips in the cities I would stop in, and I went down like a sad cake. However, I decided to make the beat of my. My wife started packing her bags, and when the both of us got everything all packed up, we resembled a party about to make a trip to Europe. We were up half the night getting ready. We had to be on the job early the next morning, 7:30 a.m. My wife was at 5:30 the next morning, and prepared our breakfast for the last time at home for many a week. We got down to the depot in good time, and found the car in the S. P, park, to start the trip off right. The name of the car was "Tennessee," which is the madam's first name, we counted that as a strange coincidence, and a stroke of good luck. GETTING THE CAR READY We both worked like Trojans getting everything in the best of shape for the queens of Hollywood. I asked for four ice buckets and a gang of coat racks, extra blankets and matches, all of which were forthcoming as soon as requested. We received the unstinted co-operation of the office, and got what we asked for. Then came the iceing of the car, which was quite a job, as there were ten rooms. It seemed as though Mr. Lincoln had every one in the yards down there that morning to see that nothing went wrong, and it didn't. They connected us on the train at 8 a.m. in the depot Mr. Lincoln was right there and looked everything over, and did not fail to tell my wife to be sure and keep me straight on the trip; which my dear readers she did not fail to do. Quite a crowd had gathered to see the stars when they arrived at the depot. THE STARS ARRIVE At exactly 8:05 I looked down the subway and seen several camera men coming with their machines. The red caps had already loaded the baggage on in the park, and I am here to tell you, that there was quite a little gurgling came from their bags. We also took on a cargo of California oranges and flowers, after flowers came down before we left. Newspaper reporters were hanging around like fleas on a dog's back. Here they come! went up from the crowd; as they all gazed in the direction of the subway; Sam Thompson, Southern Pacific's landmark as a red cap, was in the lead with a truck load of hat boxes. Phylis Haver was in the lead and she sure looked red hot, but I almost lost my breath when I seen Anna May Wong, the Oriental star, she was beautiful. I said to myself that here was going to be something pleasant to look at for the next eight weeks at least. Just then my wife nugged me in the back, and I was reminded that it would be home rule for me for the next eight weeks and hard work, and a movie star would look like any other human being by the time I had finished the trip. Bryant Wasilburn came down with his mustache waked at the ends, and was a perfect model—a heart breaker, as far as men go. Helpie Holmes, the girl who played west west parts had on boots, and a cow boy hat. She looked wilde west from head to foot. But I began to figure on how many times I would have to shine those boots in eight weeks, and it kind of took the joy out of life for a minute. Anna May Wong had her sister LuLu with her as her own private maid. She was good looking herself. Joe Murphy created quite a little attention as he sure looked exactly like Andy Gump. He had a nose a mile long. Miss Gregory, Ruth Stonehouse, and Katherine McGuire came up the runway at the last minute, and the camera men had all of the stars assemble for a picture. I tried to squeeze in, but my wife pulled me back. That was the first scrap we had as soon as we got in the car. She won! ALL ABOARD The conductor called out, "All aboard," and we showed out from dear old Los for a long, long time. As soon as we left, the bell started ringing and I want to tell you, it kept ringing until we reached El Paso our first stop. ANSWERING THE BELLS The madam and I held a consultation about answering the bells, so we decided to both answer them if they rang, and if they wanted me I was to be informed, should they want her, she was always right there. In that manner we gave jam up service the entire trip. A little man by the name of DeVaux introduced himself to my wife and I directly after we left Los Angeles, and informed us that he was the boss of the party, and we were to take orders from no one but him. He had his wife along and had the end drawing room, and a little bulldog, he told me that he wanted me to get out and walk the dog at every place we stopped any length of time. But I gave that job to the madam as I soon found out that I had very little time to walk dogs on that trip. I carried ginger ale till I was hine in the face, I was at first a banker. I mixed up every drink known. The madam marveled up and down the BLACK & WHITE CABS (This Company also operates Crown Cabs at the same rate) Fltzroy 51-21 CELEBRATE BATTLE OF ORLEANS New Orleans, La., Jan. 14.—The part played by "free men of color" in the Battle of New Orleans and General Jackson credited one of them with the shot that killed General Pakenham—was commemorated Wednesday. On that day, the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the engagement a committee placed a wreath on "Old Hickory" statue in Jackson Squire, and later celebrated it in the auditorium of the San Jacinto Social Pleasure Aid Club. The committee was composed of George Doyle, formerly deputy United States marshal; Albert Parce, business agent of the Plasterers' Association of the United States and Canada, Local 93, and Private Mike A. Doyle, recently of the Tenth United States Cavalry, who was detailed on the border of Mexico in 1916. Mike Doyle is the son of George Doyle and a descendant of Captain Charles Fonoret, who was commissioned by Governor William Charles Cole Claiborne, December 23, 1874, and commanded a company of "free men of color," on the east upper bank of the Mississippi River. This company helped defeat Pakenham's veterans and was commended highly. The commission of Captain Fonoret, who died in Bordaux, France, in 1850, is in possession of his descendants. Two battalions of "men of color," numbering 430, were enlisted in Louisiana. They were commanded by white planter, LaCoste, and by Major Duncan durig the battle, in his report of the battle made to President Monroe. Jackson said, "I saw General Pakenham reel and pitch out of his saddle. I have always believed that he fell from the buillet of a freeman of color, who was a famous rifle shot and came from the Attapakas region of Louisiana." The celebration at the San Jacinto Club was in charge of the following officers: George Lakat, president; B. R. Baquet, vice-president; A. J. C. Cabette, secretary; George Turner, treasurer; O. Rousan, J. L. Burnias, Leon Docitan, and John Cagonaalli, The Rev. W. S. Chinn, pastor of the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church gave the invocation. The speakers were: Walter L. Cohen, H. M. Gillean, G. L. Lucas, George Labat, George Doyle, Dr. Emile LaBranche, was master of ceremonies. TAKES ALL MY TIPS Leaving Yuma, after 1 had put on about a dozen buckets of ice, and then some, Bryant Washburn stepped out of his room, and beckoned for me to come to him. The madam was right behind me, and as he gave a five-dollar bill from his fat folder and handed it to me, he told me that there was one of them coming to me every day of the trip, it I took good care of him. I thanked him, and turned around to put it in my pocket, but my wife said, "Hand it here!" and she stuck it away in the folds of her dress, where even a detective could not find it. This brought on fight number 2 and we ended up arguing on the vestibule platform, but she kept the five. That's one of the reasons that I did not want her to go, but it was too late now, and it had to be me. HANGING UP GOWNS After things began to settle down, the stars laid on the bell for the mind, and she was bugg all the next day hanging up beautiful gowns, many of them were valued at a thousand dollars. The manager's room looked on the appearance of a bedroom in a private home. He had a shoe bag on the door, and even nailed pictures on his walls, as it was a wooden car. When he got El Paso he requested the Pullman Company to get a pad back on his drawing room door. (Continued Next Week.) JAMES H.
