1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 BOXING COMMISSION ON THE GRILL VOLUME 42 - ON THE SIDEWALK - By C. A. B. WESLEY INGHRAM of San Bernardino, California, from the very opening of the Hoover administration, threw his hat in the ring for Registrar of the Treasury, and like Jacob of old, young Inghram has said, I will not let go until this appointment is made. CONCERNING THE Filipino situation, some are saying: Well, these little fellows are not Americans and if they are thrown out of the country there will be more work for us. This attitude is about as correct as is the white man's, when he assumes that he owns this country, when as a matter of fact he has nothing to show where in he ever purchased it from any one, unless he feels that he bought it from the Indians whom he found here when he came; and if this is the case, he has only a record of persecution of a weaker race by a stronger one to show as the price paid for it. But we contend that this is a false assumption without any foundation for such reasoning. The whole world is man's playground and while nations have built up emigration restrictions which each and everyone must respect, if these rules and regulations have been closely observed as in the cast of these Filipinos, we see no reason why they should be ejected from the country or unduly persecuted within our borders. As a matter of fact no special howl has come forth concerning cheap labor furnished by them until a few days ago. Everyone knows very well that the labor places filled by these Filipinos as a rule are places neither wanted nor particularly needed by white Americans. If they have affected the labor interest of any it has been the American Negro. All of this Filipino ranting started when a few shallow minded whites, who have never been able, mentally or otherwise, to furnish anything toward the upbuild of this nation, save a sickening, disgusting howling around about this being the white man's country, and they are out to protect white womanhood, learned that some white girls were hanging around a Filipino social club. To this class of white man we say: you may hurl your missiles of race prejudice at these Othellos, but we suggest that you will make greater speed toward white womanhood protection by watching more closely guiding the morals of your Desdamonas. "Home Pretective League Mr. or Mrs. Property Owner. "No doubt you are interested in real estate property in this neighborhood. You will therefore be glad to know that the white people have won the first skirmish with the Negro. In a decision rendered in Department 42 of the Superior Court on December 6, 1929, made by Judge C. P. Vicini, it was held that the recorded restriction on No. 160 E. 45th St. is sustained. This property has been occupied by Sally Trainor, a Negress. It now remains only a matter of court procedure when she will be evicted. "Now for the real battle. Forty-fifth street, between Wall and San Pedro is Black. No doubt about that. But, fourteen lots occupied by Negroes are RESTRICTED and Jwe, the white people, of the community can make the restrictions good on these as well as the Trainor property. "This is worth fighting for, from the standpoint of increased property values alone. However real legal talent costs money. I norder to prosecute a case against the Negroes in the 200 block of 45th street, it will cost a substantial sum of money. "A committee has been appointed to solicit funds from those who would benefit from a favorable decision and who, therefore, should be interested. When they call on you, they will be glad to answer any questions concerning past law suits conducted by the HOME PROTECTIVE LEAGUE and to receive donations for the prosecution of the most important suit yet to face the white people of this community."

Orlando, Fla., Jan. 27.—Joseph Colver, ex-Grand Master of Florida Odd Fellows, president of the Agents Life Insurance Company and prominent business man, was killed instantly in an auto wreck near LaBelle, Florida, last Friday. Mr. Colyer was a tailor by trade and was born in Ocala, Fla., seven years ago. He did business in Palatka for a short while afterward moving to Orlando where he has lived for thirty-five years. He was the proprietor of a chain of music stores at the time of his death and was reputed to be one the wealthiest men of the race in the state. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Colyer, who is Grand Worthy Counselor of the Courts of Calanthe of the State. Seeks Nomination As State Senator (Bv: A. N. P.) Detroit, Meih., Jan. 27.—One again two Negroes in this city loom up as possible candidates for high position in the state government, which means that a terrific political battle among Negroes here is in the offing. According to nast performances, it is at this time difficult to sav just how many more aspirants will come forth, but they will all have some supporters which will result in the usual defeat of all candidates. Attorney Francis M. Dent was the first to announce his candidacy for State Senator from the third senatorial district of Detroit and Wayne County. Attorney Chas. Roxborough, a week later, comes out with his announcement for the same position. Both are prominent lawyers here and both have splendid practice and a large following among all classes of people. Attorney Dent will be backed by the Volunteer Citizens Committee of which Chas. C. Diggs is at the head; while Attorney Roxborough will in all probability be supported by a Drafted Citizens Movement headed by that fighting editor Beulah E. Young. Strangely enough, Diggs heads a syndicate that owns the detroit Telegram while Mrs. Young owns the Detroit Peoples News.

MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE REV. H. D. PROWD. Chm'n. COVINGTON GOES TO "Y" STAFF through Floyd C. Covington, who has been employed for the past year and one-half as Industrial Secretary of the Los Angeles Urban League, resigned his work with the above organization to assume the duties of assistant to the executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of this city. Mr. Covington has made quite an enviable record in his effort to relieve the economic condition of Negroes. He has spoken before many white groups including merchants, manufacturers, women's clubs, schools, churches and over radio. His addresses before colored audiences are equally as numerous. His ability to interest white employers to experiment with Negroes in places and occupations in which they have not been usually given an opportunity is among his most tangible contributions to the city. When it was learned that Mr. Covington had been given several very flattering offers to engage in Urban League work in several other cities outside of the State the General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and the Board of Management of the 28th St. Branch extended him the offer to come with the local "Y". It was felt by "Y" officials that the transfer of Mr. Covington to another city would be a distinct loss to Los Angeles. Mr. Covington is to begin his work on February first. Rev. E. R. Driver's Trial Continued to Feb. 6th Rev. E. R. Driver's Trial Continued to Feb. 6th The trial of Rev. E. R. Driver which was scheduled to take place in Division, No. 4, of the Municipal Court was continued on last Wednesday by Judge Bogue to February 6th, when it will come up in Division No. 8 before Judge William Curtis. Attorney H. E. Macbeth is the attorney for Rev. Driver. The Negro a Beggar Despite Economic Opportunities The Negro a Beggar Despite Economic Opportunities (By MENTIS CARRERE)* The Negro race stands today in the midst of the greatest material prosperity that the world has ever known. Yet very little of this prosperity does the race enjoy. The reason is clear. We have attempted to do what no other successful race has done, build without first constructing an economic foundation. With all the other efforts put forth to better the condition of the race we can accomplish nothing except to develop a race of beggars. We have wasted many precious years trying to get white people to think well of us and we have made no constructive effort to recognize ourselves and develop our economic possibilities. We have endeavored to become strong outside of our racial borders, ignoring the economic necessity of growing strong within the race. The race has demonstrated its ability to organize itself, but only for the purpose of receiving money and a pat on the back from the white people on one hand and for fighting them on the other. For instance: When we are not organizing political campaigns for the purpose of delivering the vote of the black masses to the support of a black politician who is looking for a job, or a white statesman who seeks office for self-aggrandizement or to put over some public improvement, necessary or otherwise, we are forming begging societies for the purpose of obtaining money from white people for educational, civic, religious, or economic help, and leading associations to compel the free exercise of our constitutional rights. Something is wrong with us. We are nervy notwithstanding our illogical position. We beg for jobs and other necessities from the whites and then presume to have the preogative to fight them. Does the race derive permanent benefits from its periodical political activities, interracial conferences, begging societies, and fight associations? Let us see. For our political contributions we seek, and sometimes get, a second assistant or third assistant position to some white politician who holds the main job. Out of our begging organizations for educational and religious funds we get a few buildings that are partly owned by the white contributors, and systems of education and religion wholly dominated by the white man. In some instances we are told what to preach and how. We are told what to teach our youth and how much. In our job-begging organizations we obtain a few jobs. Sometimes we are given employment in drug stores, grocery stores, and dry goods stores that are located in Negro neighborhoods. This however, is done only when the white business man finds it necessary to employ us to compete with a similar business owned and operated by Negroes. The white business man knows the psychology of the Negro. He is aware of the fact that we consider positions as clerks in white business establishments an indication of racial progress and equality. Negro clerks in white business places in Negro neighborhoods are inimical to Negro business and racial progress. Such employment aids the white business team to pile up more wealth out of Negro consumption at the expense of Negro business and the economic interest or the race. Out of ourighting organizations besides a civic victory here and there, which sometimes has to be fought all over again in some other part of the country, we get brutal and inhuman treatment from the race that contributes to our educational and religious needs and contempt in the house of our philanthropic friends for our presumptious fighting attitude. These things may be permanent but certainly not beneficial to us. Our present trend of organization is an indication that we do not know what is wrong with us, or knowing, we are too indolent to make the proper attempt at correction. But a glance at our past shows that we are not an indolent people. We have been producing for America and Americans too long to be classed as lazy. Our greatest trouble is a lack of knowledge of our distributive control of the things we consume. The race has been led to believe that it has many problems, when in reality it has only ONE. We have looked upon the annoyances of segregation, discrimination in public places. (Please Turn To Page Six) SHEFFIELD, DUNN, WASHINGTON BRIBERY CASE NEARING CLOSE BY: JAMES S. HARRIS, JR. The prosecution placed its first witness on the stand in the person of Mr. Sebe Hendricks, confessed bootleger, now serving a liquor sentence in the County Jail, in the case of Macoe B. Sheffield, Richmond Dunn and Roseoe Washington, Los Angeles Police Officers on trial for six counts of bribery in Superior Judge Emett Wilson's court, Dept. 21, on Friday, January 24, after the empanelment of a jury of seven men and five women had been finished. Mr. Hendricks claims that he and his wife, Mrs. Fannie Hendricks, comprised a bootlegging trust and upon the asking, solicitation and agreement of acceptance of the three heretofore named defraitors, paid protection money (twenty-five dollars at a time) to them to keep them from arresting either of the two confessed bootleggers on Wright Act violations. Hendricks further testified that his business went bad; he got behind in his protection money payments to the three defendants and was forced to pawn a diamond stick-pin which he valued at $1500 to get money not only to bring his arrears up to date but to invest in his business in order that it might yield more profits. However, it appears, according to testimony offered, that Hendricks' business got even worse and the protection payments to the three defendants were still lagging to the extent of over two hundred dollars. Consequently as the three defendants were pressing him for the back payments, Hendricks claims to have gotten Sheffield, acting as proxy for the other two, Washington and Dunn, to agree to accept the pawned diamond stick pin as security for back payments to be redeemed at a legal rate of interest in a specified length of time. Whereupon, Sheffield is alleged to have accompanied Hendricks to the offices of the State Loan Co. 558 So. Main St., on or about Aug. 30, 1929 and redeemed the dia- Automobile in Collision Forty-seventh and Hooper was the scene of a bad hit and run automobile accident between Hollie Wright (white) and Geo. Lewis (Negro) on Wednesday at about 4:30 p. m. It appears that Lewis, driving a Chrysler roadster was going east on 47th Place and turned left onto Hooper going north and collided with Wright about midway 47th Place and street, who was driving a heavy Nash coach and who was driving south on Hooper avenue. From the condition of the cars the skid-mark in the street it was evident that Lewis was driving on the wrong side of the street at the time of accident. Pete Anthony, 6507 Fifth Avenue was an occupant of Lewis car and sustained a cut on right ear for which he received treatment at Georgia Street Receiving Hospital. He was afterwards booked for being drunk. Lewis who is said to live at 1209 E. 47th Street escaped after the accident before the arrival of police and could not be found. Anthony told officers that Lewis was also drunk. Officers Ward and Lomax of Newton division are investigating further. Gives $10,000 Check In Hospital Drive At a small breakfast party held in the red room of the Hotel LaSalle Wednesday morning, Mrs. Georgeol Cleveland Hall, presented the directors of the campaign to raise $3,000,000 for the Greater Provident Hospital Foundation with a certified check for $10,000 on behalf of the Women's Amateur Minstrels. For twelve years, Mrs. Hall has sponsored a minstrel program by young women the proceeds of which have been used to aid Provident Hospital. The check given Wednesday morning represented the largest single donation the girls' minstrels have ever given to the institution. ```markdown ``` mound stick pin for the sum of $147.50 ($125 was borrowed from the loan company by Hendricks plus $22.50 interest). The pin was valued by the loan company at about $350.00 instead of $15000 as Mr. Hendricks represented. Thus the marginal fraction over $200 which would be evident after pin was redeemed by the defendants was to be accorded the trio as security for their back payments. Officer McGowan of the pawn shop detail of the Los Angeles Police Dept. testified that about the latter part of Aug. 1929 he observed defendant, Sheffield, in company with Hendricks, enter and emerge from the offices of the State Loan Co. in his daily rounds of pawn shops, a duty he is detailed on. He knew nothing of the above transaction, however. Robert Sedo, loan clerk, also testified that he remembered the incident but knew nothing of the transaction. Mrs. Fannie Hendricks took the stand and testified that her home was a rendezvous for the trio from the earlier part of 1928 off and on until August, 1929. She further elaborated by stating that many a time she had Cooked Virginia ham and biscuits for the trio and they were considered one of the family. The court got a good laugh when Mrs. Hendricks stated that Sheffield always slept after his meals. She further stated that on one occasion Sheffield became violently ill at her home and a Dr. Smitherman had to be called in to administer medical aid. She also claims to have presented the trio with fancy shirt for gifts Xmas, 1928. All this was done she said, in friendliness and in addition to the weekly protection money. However, the essence of the substantial part of her testimony was that between September and October, 1928, Sheffield is alleged to have come to her husband and to her and told them that they were paying too much money for protection and that the (Please Turn To Page Six) CABARET BOMBING UNSOLVED (By: A. N. P) Detroit, Mich., Jan. 28—No elue to the perpetrators, or motive for the bombing of the Palm Garden Cabaret here early Tuesday morning has been unearthed yet according to Sam Slovak, proprietor. "It could have been an explosion," Mr. Slovak told the A. N. P. representative. "I have no known enemies and have been engaged in this sort of business for a number of years and I can see no reason why anyone should want to harm me or my place." While no one was seriously hurt everyone was frightened beyond words and as much damage was done to other property as to the cabaret. Both the "bombing" and "blackhand" squad from the police department are working on the case. SWAMPS SHERIFF FOR INVITATIONS St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 29—By A.N.P.—Daily, George W. Stroctman, sheriff of this city, is being swamped by requests from women and men of all walks of life to arrange for their presence at the hanging of William Moseley, said to be insane, at daybreak Friday, for the slaying of his common-law wife and a white couple in whose home the shooting took place. The warrant for the execution of Moseley, who is 52 years old, has been received by the sheriff's office. Moseley suspected his common-law wife of receiving the attentions of Marcus Bass, White groceryman. Supposedly on trial for slaying his common-law wife, Mildred White, it is understood, that if his end comes by the way of the gallows, it will be because of the fatal wounding of Rebecca Bass, white, wife of the groceryman, who stepped in the path of a stray bullet following the shooting of her husband. Benjamin Wilson representing the condemned man, has visited Gov. Caulfield with an appeal for commutation of the sentence on the grounds of insanity. The mob psychology is playing well its part, now directed to the lowly Filipino. It is no respector of persons only from the fact it starts always upon the lowly and most defenceless. In due time if it is not quelled by the strong arm of our government, no group of people will be safe. The gesture of the State Boxing Commission in barring Filipinos from boxing is but in line with its Jim Crow policy toward Black-American citizens. For be it known this Commission by its inaction has sanctioned the un-American spirit in barring colored fighters from contest in the Hollywood American Legion arena at Hollywood and just why this has been allowed when it is controlled by the laws of our State is an enigma to us. We understand Gov. Young is perturbed over the action of the Boxing Commission barring the Filipino and is investigating. Now, we think he is justified in this move and at the same time while he is investigating this angle, we most respectfully call his attention to the fact that his very own citizens of possibly less favored clay, are barred at Hollywood at this very moment and have been from time memorial. We surely are of the opinion this is a rank injustice, unworthy of the great State of California. We cannot conceive of the American Legion in face of its proud boast of Americanism to continue to allow this situation to exist. "Has Served Enough Time," Writes Mississippi Governor (By: A. N. P.) Jackson, Miss., Jan. 27.—"He has served 26 years. This is enough for this time." Governor Billo penned across the pardon granted Ester Smith, who has been a prisoner of the state since September, 1904. In that year, Smith was sent to the penal farms to serve a life term for murder. A further suspension of sentence was granted by the executive to Charles Pittman, who also is under a life sentence for murder. Pittman will be free until January 15, 1931. DOCTOR HURT IN COLLISION DOCTOR HURT IN COLLISION (Bv: A. N. P.) Pine Bluff, Ark., January 28.—Dr. M. M. McBeth of this city, while returning last Saturday from his plantation at Plum Bayou was severely injured when his machine collided with that driven by a young white man, Archie Turner, who was also hurt. Deputy Sheriff Baldwin who saw the accident said both drivers applied the brakes as they approached the Arkansas River bridge, their cars skidded, clashed, and catapulted through the tail hanging together over twenty feet of water.

New York January 28—Jack Johnson's new orchestra opens an engagement at the Canton Palace, 50th and Broadway Friday night. He will also bring a new floor show with his production. (BY: A. N. F.) New York, January 27.—William P. Hill, proprietor and manager of the Plantation club, Harriet's newest rendezvous, is honoring the loss of his $25,000 plant here after vandals completely wrecked the place Thursday morning. According to the story of the two watchmen, Harry and John Seifelt, ten men came to the club about 11 o'clock Thursday morning. Two of the men carried heavy bags. Two others approached the watchman and declared themselves Federal inspectors, sent to look the place over and search for contraband liquor and narcotics. They were admitted without question, having produced winthe watchman believed proper credentials. Once inside, the two watchmen were escorted to the basement of the building where armed guards watched over them. The others returned to the main floor and proceeded to wreck the place. One hundred and fifty mirrors, bordering the dance floor in the manner of a fence, were completely mashed. Holes were cut in the highly polished waxed floor to render dancing impossible, chairs were smashed as were the tables surrounding the dance floor, a two thousand dollar mahogany plane was overturned in one corner, the legs chopped off, wires and strings of the instrument cut and even the band instruments were mashed, smashed, and twisted beyond redemption. Costumes belonging to the performers were form to armure and the dressing rooms wrecked as completely as the rest of the establishment. As soon as the刺客 had completed their task, they departed leaving John and Sollon to do as they pleased. John immediately notified the police who rushed over for an examination. The vandals in their haste to leave or out of their brawl, left their tools behind them. The bags contained heavy crowds, axes, hammers, saws, and other instruments useful in destructive work. When questioned as to the possible motive for the actions, Mr. Hill declared the wreckage to be the work of rivals in the night, club business in Harlem, stating that the ring was against his operation of the club, which became an overnight sensation. Thursday night, in biting cold weather, handsomely gowned women and men in evening clothes, alighted from luxurious cars seeking admission to the new playhouse, but were turned back with the request that they call again Friday evening. Workmen hastily made repairs so that the Plantation could reopen on Friday evening. According to the history of night clubs in Harlem, this is not the first instance or a new owner being forced to spend tremendous sums to either get in the ring or close on business. Others have tried to operate night clubs here and failed miserably, not because of a lack of patronage, but because of the opposition from present owners. One night club in Harlem is said to be the rendezvous of a notorious gang and the leader makes his headquarter in the night club—which receives members of the gang just out of prison and gives them a fresh start. However, the club has entertained some of the country's celebrities and is one of the most famous of all of the night clubs in the city. Mr. Hill declares he will push the investigation to discover the randeals and will not rest until he has brought them to justice. Eddie Mack Meets Joey Sangor in Main Event Eddie Mack the Rocky Mountain college boy comes back to the Grand Avenue historic house next week for a main event with Joey Sangor the solemn-faced Jew. Sangor and Eddie go for ten rounds or less and there is an even break that there will be a knockout before the ten heals are up. Both of the boys are hard hitters and carry a knockout punch in either hand. COME BACK AFTER LAYOFF Mack is coming back after a long layoff due to injuries. The last battle was in Chicago for Jack the Dumpsey. Eddie turned his shirts and lost the battle on tech K. O. The college head Mexican is a hot number here anytime he shirts. He has headlined the Olympic several times and has scored 1000 per cent so far, in regards to victories. He knocked out Dor Spell in three Johnny Towers did not land his right hand once during the fight at the Olympic, Tuesday night and therefore, the Mexican is just where he started before he got the match with George Blake's hit and hold boy—La Barba. La Barba had no trouble at all winning from Goldie Hess's stahlehate. The clever little Italian took every round and in the ninth he hit the Mexican hard enough to have him on the floor for a nine court. SMART FIGHT Fidel fought a smart fight for himself, but a mighty bum one for the cash customers to watch. Yours truly doesn't like the little man's style overly much anyhow. La Barba held with his right and hit like the devil with his left. He is a past master at that. He got so bad the gallery boys started giving him the Bronx, but that made no difference to him he want his way merrily of hitting and holding. BODY REATING Torres took a bad body beating. Ela Barba worked on the kidneys something terrible. The Italian only used his right hand once or twice during the fight. It was the left going and coming. Johnny was out-smarted from the beginning to the end and didn't know what to do with that left hand of La Barba's. FAILS TO LAND RIGHT The Mexican kid was staking everything on that right hand of his and she failed to come through. Johnny wanted to stand off and box so that he could get a range with that right, but as stated before La Barba was too smart for that and he kept in close all the time. HAS BEEN ON FLOOR La Barba can be and has been hit hard enough to be on the floor. Beyond a doubt, Blake's boy remembered the nights Johnny Macea came near stopping him in Boston. In the first fight with Vacea, Fidel was on the floor four times and in the second scrape a couple of times. And then again he might have had in mind that night some time last year when Young Nationalista knocked him on the lug and had him grabbing his knees to come up by. Therefore you have the reason for the smart uninteresting fight La Barba fought. GORDON WINS Al Gordon, the eastern southpaw who has been hanging around for six weeks in hopes of landing a fight, knocked out Rito. Puny in the third heat of a six-round bout. Puny went pretty good for a while, but the southpaw kid began to find his range in the third and he knocked Rito out with several lefts to the pit of the stomach. Milford Berglund the battling Swede from San Berdou lost his fight Thirsti for the lead to Mickey Keenan the kid he had knocked out a couple of weeks before. It was a tough break for the kid and he should have won the bont by all means. Mickey was due to go the way he went before if Milford had not fouled him. LOSES BOUT By fouling Kosbel, Berglund stands the chance of losing the boat that he had been looking forward to, that one with Johnny Adams the erstwhile Mountain Lion. The Adams-Berglund fight was due to come off last Thursday when Berglund fought Koshel, but Johnny made the very unusual request of asking for more time to train. He was granted the time and, by doing so messed up the bout he had coming up with the Swede. Johnny is on his last feet as a main-eventer and many say that this bout with the tow-headed youngster will tell the tale and no less. SAL FIGHTS ANDERSON Baby Sal Soria the other Berdoo favorite comes back to the. Orange Belt to fight Clark Anderson it a couple of punches. This Clark is no chump. He has fought the best the Southland has to offer and he may give the hard-hitting Mexican a harder fight than he reckons for. Anderson is a black boy that can box a little and hit a whole lot. And you know that as Sal's strongest point-hitting. And when he hits they stay hit, so the outcome of the battle will depend on who gets hit first and the hardest. In the semi-windup fighting under Sal and Anderson, Jimmy Black and Jimmy Valentine fight six rounds or less. Jimmy has not fought any this year to speak of and at one time I thought the kid had given up the game altogether. Black is one of the best featherweights on the coast today and I have to string with him against this Valentine kid although Jimmy has not been in action for months. If given the chance to fight Jimmy Black will take on and beat most of the top-notch feathers in this section of the country. ROSS WANTED HIM At one time Wirt "One Shot" Ross wanted to buy Jimmy's contract from Ed Duvall, but Duvall knowing he had one of the best boys at his weight in the country wouldn't sell for any price and kept Jimmy from being in the money right today. Durvall can't do anything with the kid and never has and never will and the sooner he sells him to someone that can the better off little Mr. Jimmy Black is going to be and that is no hooey and everyone that knows Jimmy and his fighting ability will tell you. Let's get going Jimmy. THE BLACK SPORT WORLD BY: ART HAMILTON Primo Carrera packed Madison Square Garden in his first bout on this side of the gondi and according to press reports made a big hit, both on Big Boy Peterson's jaw and with the 20,000 fans that crowded the place to see him. This big Italian is beyond a doubt the biggest man in the ring today and he will be dangerous to any man that he can hit. STOPS PETERSON Carnera stopped Big Boy in just about one minute of fighting. Peterson won the shot for him and the most mountainous Sonny clubbed him down in jig time. Peterson is in a nobody in the fight game, but he made more money in that one minute than he has inside in all his fighting career. I bet. He did not have a charter with the giants and it didn't seem as if he wanted to take any. Just what we would like to know is didt. How long is this over-sized giant going to last in his rackets in the States? SMART MANAGERS The Big Boy has expert managers and they are looking out for his interests with the unusual care, because they know Carrera will make a face tune for them.

Curtis Mosby will attempt to make night club history with his new revue, personality staged and produced by Jo' Trent, one of the fore-most song writers, and author of many "bits" in times past. This revue has been built around a wonderful composition, personally written by Trent for the world famous orchestra leader, Paul Whiteman, and created a sensation in the East when first presented by Whiteman and his noted band. "Spiritualize" is the name of this haunting fascinating song, and the revue has been named after it, with everything 'thin' goes to make up a marvelous show. No expense has been spired by Mosby, to make this one of his outstanding shows, and is in keeping with his promise to make each show for 1930 'higher and better.' Trent is being assisted by that versatile entertainer, Milfred Washington, who has long been the feature attraction at the Apex, and also Milfred will offer her own original dance number, that will create a sensation when presented as did the Charleston and Black Bottom, of not so long past. A rich vein of humor runs through the entire show, with Gus Jones doing the comedy lead, assisted by the famous Kentucky Jubilee Quartette, that will be named the Apex Harmony Four by Mosby. Many surprises are in store for the guests and patrons of the Apex, with this new revue, and much appreciation is given the splendid co-operation of Mr. Whiteman, who made it possible, bee, maybe he will fool us, but I don't see how he can. That is if things run true-to-rule. He has not shown anyone that he can fight yet. Camera took on Young Stribling, voted all over these United States (except the South) to be the world's worst fighter, in England and according to press reports Stribling was winning up to the time of the fouls. Primo then jumps over here and takes on Big Boy Peterson a seventh rater that couldn't get going here on any place else for that matter and stops him in a round. Game number one will feature the Herdonicas a fast moving team of high, school chaps that really know basketball and can go. They are all good looking so all the girls will be there if for nothing but to see these high brown boys strut their stuff. Harold Lewis one of the handsome Lewis brothers, plays a hot forward position and how Lewis can go. Then there is Ben Woods, the best looking boy in high school in all the big city of Los Angeles and that boy can play basketball too. It's worth the price of admission just to see Ben alone. And then there is Virgil the heavy boy, a jolly good champ that romps around in a guard position. Alex Edwards takes the other forward and goes. SECOND GAME In the second game the Imperials will meet the Alphas. The Alphas have the great and only Silk Stocks. When he's gone there won't be none, because he is the only one. Then there is the Rent Man, Walt Gordon and the big handsome Alpha is some hoop man too, along with his real estate. Watch this basketball dope each week and get your line on the coming games. Don't miss Saturday night. UPTON SAYS Just received a wire from Mayor Thompson of Chicago. He says the old Berg's gone broke. But it still is a good place to live because you don't have to pay any taxes. Kindly ask Mra. Eva C. Button, president of the Chicago Union Charity Club, if she will advance me enough cash to meet the city pay roll. I am not worrying so much a bout the Police Force—they can get their overnight—but the School Teachers MUST BE PAID! DAD MOORE PASSES AWAY Sadness swept over the Frisco district last week when they were quietly informed the grim reaper had exacted its toll upon Dad Moore, leader of the Brotherhood of sleeping car Porters in that section, and a retiree Pullman porter of the Frisco district, Dad Moore was an ardent admirer of A. Phillip Randolph, and was one of the staunches fighters the brotherhood of sleeping car porters had he died fighting for the cause which he believed was right, and the order will fined him, a hard man to replace. He demanded respect from the Pullman Officials, and received it, and although you will not see any large write up about him in the Pullman News, other than to be mentioned as a deceased pensioner, deep down in the officials of the Pullman Company's hearts, "Dad" Moore Was A Man. J. PITTS PASSES AWAY IN PHOENIX HOSPITAL J. Pitts, Pulitzer Porter of Los Angeles district for the past ten years, passed away last Saturday in a Phoenix hospital after suffering with a severe attack of pneumonia. Pitts was a rather peculiar sort of a fellow, and stood to himself most of the time. He was always rather delicate, and was sick very often. Some years ago Pitts operated the tourist car between Los Angeles and Fisco on the Sun Set. The line was a very heavy one, and he bid in the Phoenix car, which climate seemed to agree with his health, he remained on this line up until the time of his death. His body was shipped to his home in Texas. He had no relatives in Los Angeles. mer members of the Dodgers, and is very popular among the younger boy, while Mr. Taft is also well known in club circles of Los Angeles. The happy couple will reside at 9208 Hooper Ave. PULLMAN PONTER INSTRUCTOR HOLDS MEETING Instruction meetings were held by Mr. J. Aldridge every day last week in a Pullman car located in the Southern Pacific yards while these instructions were held move for the direct benefit of pottery in the service less than a year, they were also a good reminder to the older men who attended, and served to refresh their minds on current features of the service. SAN DIEGO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SPECIAL OFF TO MEXICO CITY The San Diego Chamber of Commerce left that city last Sunday on a special train for Mexico City. Porters E. E. Meyers and A. Graves, both of whom speak Spanish fluently were in charge of two of the Pullman cars on the train. A Mexican Pullman conductor had the special in charge. Inspector Kramer was also on board when the train pulled out. Last week, the papers came out with an announcement to the effect that Mr. S. A. Coffin, former Pullman Porter Instructor, of this district, had connected himself with the Angelus Funeral Home. Mr. Coffin will be a credit to this wide awake institution. Already he has been looking at J. Ponder, with longing eyes, and a few others who seem to have nine lives in this district. Mr. Coffin has long been a friend of Mr. Hill's and thru his association with the P. P. B. A. has kept in close touch with the sick of this district. He has a multitude of friends among the Pullman Porter's and will prove of great service and benefit to the Angelus Funeral Home. PULL BILL GARNER OUT OF SERVICE BILL GARNER SERVICE the Pulman service service that the librarian as of Mr. O. O. W. stenberg and was taken out of service. We are all all wondering, who will be the most victim of the act that has been executing so much havoc ever since Thanksgiving. Big Dick Norwood, who can stand flatfooted and touch the ceiling of any Pullman car was dead off of his line last week and dead-headed to Portland, Oregon on a tourist car for a charge of climbing on the arm-rest to put away his beds. Norwood stands about 7 feet tall;—I wonder how come? HARRY MACEY PAYS LOS ANGELES A VISIT Harry Macey, son of W. M. Macey, porter of this district, paid this city a visit last week. Mr. Macey, Jr. spent three days at the residence of the writer and I would like to go on record as saying that they were three red hot days. A certain dashing young belle of the Westside seemed to completely captivate the attention of Mr. Macey, and he is planning to make this city his home. One can hardly blame him after suffering with the severe cold, and then being cuddled by a charming Miss in the land of sunshine and oranges. Who would want to live out here. These Westside mames are funny that way. This is the land of romance, broken hearts and divorces. From now on, henceforth and forever, until us, Ed. Thomas returns, Mr. Thomas will do his own cooking, washing and everything else. Widows please do not lead him into temptation. MY EXPERIENCE WITH MOVIE STARS After that awful experience of Jack Daugherty almost missed the train I gradually began to find out just who was who, and what was what on this trip. I found out that Mr. DeVaux was crazy about Mrs. DeVaux, and thus she had ambitions to become a star, but was too old, although when she finished putting on her toilet articles she was a red-hot mama. I also found out that she was rather fond of Cullen Landis and that he just couldn't be bothered at all; further, I soon arrived at the conclusion that Cullen Landis was giving the most of his attention to the pretty Miss Kathrine McGririe. I found out that Bryant Washburn was especially nice to Miss Ruth Stonehouse and that Hellen Holmes was playing the field, and as far as Jack Daugherty was concerned, East was West with him, and Anna May Wong received all of his attention. The buffet porter was casting long eyes at Lulu, Anna May Wong's maid, and sister, but the madam blocked every move he tried to make in that direction; she was always in the way. Miss Phyllis Haver did not pay any of the men folks in the party any particular attention, while Carl Miller played the field strictly. Now, you have a slight idea just what was what, and who was who on this memorable trip with the queens of Hollywood. DALLAS, TEXAS We arrived at Dallas, Texas at 5:05 P. M., having traveled 647 miles on the famous T. & P. and believe me it was some ride. Now, in order that my readers may have a clear understanding of the purpose of this trip, I will explain further, Mr. Devinn had signed all of these stars up to give a little stage sketch at a popular theatre in each town that we made, and in some of the cities as an added attraction, they would give a big dance and advertise to the effect that all of these famous moving picture stars would be at the dance and dance with those that attended. Naturally, in the small towns, this kind of thing went over big, and all the farmers and hicks for miles around would come and pay that hot dollar and a half to get to dance with a movie star. We soon found out that this kind of arrangement was destined to give us some trouble. You will notice that I say us, and we, and the reason is plain; being with them so long on this enterprise, I gradually became reconciled to the fact that I was one of them. At Dallas, they parked the car right at the end of the depot. A friend of my wife by the name of Mrs. M. C. Patton was in Dallas visiting her mother at the time, and as soon as we arrived she got in touch with her by phone, and had her down to the depot. They spent a few enjoyable hours on the car together. The woman gave a show that night and we left there at 1:10 arriving in the city of P. Worth at 2:05. After we left Dallas, Texas, things began to take on a very serious aspect. They were not making any money. They were playing to very poor houses, and they were hearted and discouraged. Many expressed the desire to return to Holly. HOLLYWOOD KNOCKS TRIP The further we went, the worse the worse things became. The interest in Hollywood were knocking out trip. They did not want it to be a success, because if it was, the stars taking part in it could come back to Hollywood and demand more money on the strength of their increased popularity, so they wired ahead to kill the trip and as we left Dallas, we began to feel the power of the big film companies in the film capitol. Mr. Devaux had a hard time in making on the tremendous pay roll required for the salary of the stars, and everybody on the trip became quarrelsome. However, we continued on and went from Ft. Worth, Texas to Muskogee, Oklahoma. Things were really getting tight, everyone had quit tipping entirely and money was as scarce as a hear's tooth, what little bit that was in circulation, my wife always managed to hide in the folds of that big, black dress that she wore on the trip. IN MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA Business men in Muskogee, were quick to take advantage of the advertisement feature of so many stars direct from Hollywood, and when we arrived there, they had arranged a parade. Hellen Holmes was well known in that neck of the woods and they had her lead the parade on a fine looking horse. There were many swell machines in the lineup, and things went along fairly well in this town. Some big business men came down to the car and asked to see Miss Anna May Wong. I showed them to her room and they arranged, to have her spend two hours, in one of the largest department stores in Muskogee, demonstrating a toilet article. She received a large sum of money for this. HAVE PICTURES TAKEN WITH MAYOR In the afternoon, the Mayor of the town; and some other influential citizens came down to the depot, where the car was parked and posed with the different stars for pictures, (I have got the pictures at home now) and as the stars all had their own personal pictures by the boxes on this trip in their rooms all autographed, they distributed quite a few to the different ones that came down to the train; I even shipped away from the madame long enough to give a couple away to some good-looking "Browns" that came down to look at the car—red hot. COWBOYS START FIGHT WITH STARS IN OKLAHOMA CITY We spent three days in Oklahoma City, and the last day I shall always remember as long as I live. Oklahoma City has a population of oil men and cowboys. Cattelan ride in town with their guns on their hips and no one seems to think anything of it; it is the custom. Old car, Tennessee was parked facing one of the main streets in the city. My wife and I could sit on the back platform and see everybody that passed by. People from all over came down to the car as soon as they heard that the movie stars were in town, and they asked more curious questions. Some were pretty tough looking customers too, but they did not bother us other than is Cullen Landis—all the young flappers in town were just wild to see Cullen Landis. He was a favorite of theirs and he gave away a lot of his pictures to them. The Mayor's daughter seemed to have a case on Mr. Landis, and he was seen in her company the biggest part of the time that we spent in the city. On the last day there the stars were supposed to a big dance after the show, and dance with the different ones who attended. All the cowboys in Oklahoma purchased tickets to that dance. The dance hall was about nine miles from where car car was parked, and the stars were taken there in automobiles. When they arrived the hall was packed, and they were standing in line to get in. It rained that night also. Long after my wife had retired the door bell rang; I was sitting in one of the end compartments smoking a cigar; it was about 1:00 A. M. I unlocked the door and was surprised to see Cullen Landis. He said that the cowboys had started a free-for-all fight out there because the stars wanted to come home after they had had one or two dances. The drivers who had taken the stars to the dance, refused to bring them back, and they to call taxicabs to get back to the car; the rest of the stars reached the car about 3:00 A. M. and they swore that they had a terrible experience. The police had to go out in order for them to get away without bodily harm. At exactly 7:35 A. M. we bid goodbye to Oklahoma City over the Frisco and headed toward Springfield, Mo., glad to get out of the town alive.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... $1.25 Three Months ..... $.75 Per Copy ..... $.05 Our perusing mind motored into the Forum last Sunday afternoon, the first time in a year or more. The alteration was Dr. J. A. Murman of Portland, Oregon, who had been invited to address the gathering. We always knew the Dr. was a progressive thinker who was always trying to convert his thoughts into concrete action. Last Sunday those that heard him to a man shared the same views as we. He gave his listeners plenty to think about and it is hoped that his expressed views and advice along the lines of industrial co-operation will be held, and something done to convert, through the channels of race conscience, our group, into producers, instead of consumers. About the time one concludes that it's time to gas, oil and motor on the sign appears, "just one minute and well be with you." This is what happened recently when as we had about decided to divorce our eyes from the columns of the "luxurious" they present us with an editorial that makes us ask the question, "How Comes? The dismissal of Parliam was the subject matter, and it was nicely disposed of from a newspaper standpoint. * ** We wonder if some of the many stories being openly and publicly aired around and about concerning the treatment of expectant mothers in many of the General and Clinic Hospitals throughout the nation is so. The eminent Dr. Von Klimesmidt, president of U.S.C. registered himself morally as opposed to the entry of colored students to the medical course in a public address. Being an outspoken advocate and expressed believer in the policy regarding the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, the Dr. looks like he was playing to the grandstand. How can the University of Southern California aspire to reach the heights of Harvard, Brown and other leading institutions of learning following such a leader advocating such a program. We visited one of our leading churches last Sunday after considerable absence to see if there was any improvement upon the highway their members traveled to heaven. We learned religious taxes had increased through the highway seemed unimproved. Melbie some day Los Angeles will have an institutional church where there is an income enough to lift the upkeep burden off the shoulders of the members. Mrs. Dickerson Hawkins, wife of our young Angeleno friend who is a student at Melbarry, recently returned from a brief tour of the East and South we learn and is convinced that Los Angeles is fourth instead of the first city in the nation and that colored Los Angeles should stop, look and listen before broadcasting what she thinks of the East. We are further informed that ere long, please your honor, her husband will have acquired the title of doctor, Ah, Hurin! Thanks for the advanced information. A brass band awaits his arrival. We wonder how long Negro consumers are going to tolerate the grocery and meat market stores on the Avenue to receive 90% of the group's business and ignore employing colored help. Chicago may be motoring into bankruptcy but one thing is certain business interests there are forced to recognize the money spent by Negroes and employ them accordingly. Really, Folks, it's a joke the way we let Central Avenue merchants rob us of our labor, said A. Hartley Jones of the Liberty Building-Loan Association as he crawled out of his wrecked automobile the other day, himself unscratched. We hear our Police Officer friend, Frank White, barely escaped the hospital or undertaker or both last week when some automobile maniac object- ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Pasadena Section OPEN LETTER Dear Editor: Allow me to contribute a few words to your open forum. We Christians should give thanks to God for having made us members of a communion in which we are preserved from all error in faith, and from all illusions in the practice of virtue. We should be strangers to those interior conflicts, those doubts and uncertainties that distract the sea of those whose private judgment is their main guide. We should not allow ourselves to be drifting helplessly over the sea of time—carried by every wind of doctrine. We should not consider ourselves as in the midst of a spiritual desert intersected with by paths that end in an unknown destination. Rather, we are traveling a highway snooked of by the prophet Isaiah. will follow the speaking. Time 3:30, 6:00 p. m. Place—Friendship Baptist church. Date—Sunday, February 2nd.

Mrs. Moss is convalescing at the Pasadena Hospital. Mr. George Grant has been confined to his bed for several days. According to latest news he is getting along better. Mrs. David Cunningham has been ill since Sunday. Mrs. Ada Williams is ill with a cold. Mr. William McCormack is better. SOCIAL Mrs. Eva Fisher Williams has gone to Spokane to join her husband, Mr. Fred Williams. Mrs. Williams was feted with a cherriming party at the home of her mother, Mrs. Ollie Ann Robinson. Miss Viola Bancou has returned home after an extended trip in the southeastern and eastern states. The Flourides Bridge club met at the home of Mrs. Sarah Taylor, on Washington street. The Rose Bud club gave a formal at Dayton Hall Thursday night. FOUND NOT GUILTY A few days ago, a machine driven by Mrs. A. Fouche struck and killed an elderly white woman on Central Avenue. The case was thoroughly examined, and just recently the jury exonerated Mrs. Fouche. WINS CASH PRIZE The Star-News newspaper offered a cash prize for the best dimewise written in one hundred words. Miss Fouche, of 160 Closthill street, won the prize. There were scores of other contestants. Miss Hughes is an upper division student at the Lasala Junior college. Mrs. C. Huff, 150 W. Claremont, has given birth to a daughter. MUSIC Several months ago it was the pleasure of music lovers to hear the famous Carl Ditton in a dual recital of singing and playing. The recital was given at the Friendship Baptist church and was a discouraging spectacle to the most seasoned itinerant musician as far as attendance was concerned. The attendance was very poor, and the small free will offering scarcely bore the incidental expenses. Mr. Ditton met the discouraging situation quite stoically, however, and quite tooefully and sympathetically ended his program with a timely speech on the need of more interest in things artistic. Mr. Ditton has gone his way. The coast evidently failed to appreciate this eminent musician. But the white music lovers have recognized his ability with unbliss. Read it for yourself. You'll find it in the "Musical Etude" February, 1530. The Harmonia Quartette rendered many very interesting numbers at the Friendship Baptist church anniversary Friday night. The musicians sang with good control and ease. Mrs. Morrow is welding this group into a finished ensemble. Mrs. Myrtle Mills, 254 N. Vernon has been appointed to the position of pianist for the girls' gym classes at the Alhambra High school. Mrs. Mills had to stand a very rigid examination before she received the position. She out-scored all other contestants, herself being the only colored aspirant for the position. Come out and hear and discuss the problems of races that confront the world today.

CORVINE. (Continued from Page One) This letter, sent out by the so-called Protective League, shows that it has focused its sign of discrimination against driving the Negroes of any section that it sees fit to designate as white district. In this new column in the last presidential election we called attention to the fact that our group spend too much time fighting each other over political differences when instead we should use our energy to fight the white plague. "Race hatred" for there is no hatton within as well as without the race. We are just now on the threshold of another political campaign and about to choose to offend who are to con- tribute to the state government. May we conceive this campaign as frightening and scaring as it is horrific for political controls, but with the intent of purpos- that our California shall govern itself as a sovereign state, where all peo- ple shall be equal with regard to life, liberty and the present of happiness, and that such latter will exist this world. Logo shall be de- signed upon institutional and pro- spective standards. THE SPIRIT of the common law and lunch law which at the time some of the steering into the tradition, should be removed upon its own merits and its own interests in settling. A letter has been addressed to this committee, asking attention to the fact that Mr. Tullis of Baker-street, who when he retired a land contract to a white man who was unable to pay for it was dragged out, treated it offended and prepared according to lunch law tradition for a building house and on the annual dismembered citizens upon the same diverted what would have been on the great buildings of law and government in Calgary. Again, we set to the Negro district let us pay less attention to shipping between ourselves as we who get the biggest share of spiritual time, but concentrate our efforts in cutting office men who will serve us that it forma stands for the highest place in our community. BARTON WILHALL is a native spelling and authorities of the Ward- worth Street School it is assigned was based on court this work changed with one of the most humiliate crimes against our girls' said school two of whom are white and two colored. The case is told being handled in our gallery Woman, Mr. Louise Shotton. We are sure that Ms. Sheltin will grace in stone unburied in getting together all the facts on case and hanging to time two other characters are mentioned as perpetrators of similar acts as that committed Wittahl against these same and other girls of the Wadworth Street School. The other vultures will prey on the more than three innocent little school girls are one George Hall (twisted loath vendor and Sherman Huff co-owner). Huff vultures and made a clean getaway, while Wittahl and Hall are out on land. This is certainly a case for the National Association and every other organization standing for civic righteousness and common decency to take up an endeavor to the bitter end. There has been much comment with reference to the conduct in and about the various public schools of this city and while this beginning is apparent it would certainly be worth while to make a clean sweep and do the utmost to correct all of the evil complained of as above mentioned. There has been much said about other infractions of the law, such as bootlegging, gambling and the accosting of girls on their way from school which should come under the category of this investigation. Let no stone be putted to the end that we have a clean school system. MR. AND MRS. C. E. PEARL ENTERTAIN VISITORS The palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Pearl, 127 S.

HEEDS HIS PUBLIC STEPIN FETCHIT IN NEW ROLE AS YES AND NO MAN BY PAT SUTHERLAND LONDON: Theodore Andrew Perkins alias Stephen Fecthatt, actor and author, lives in the house of being, Hollywood's first types and no man. The cinema act has long nurtured a noble group of "Yes" men whose bodies perma-tain" was affirmatively to overcome and everything that their unimportant jobs may endure. At along courses Step with a brand new role, a role that has thrown the motion picture productions clear off. He nods and yes he doesn't function. IN COLLIER PLAY It all started over at Jimba studios recently. Eileen Nation was directing Buster Collier in "Lover Come Back." Step played the funniest role of a Southern boyed him. Along in the middle of the production, Stefan called out of dialogue which he believed was irrelevant, giving unbecoming of a Southern Negro. State prison. The director insisted that the film be shot. "This year, Kernan, but I think, ought to be and this way" says Step. I think nothing, writing war here, should be said by Kernan. Mr. Kernan, but count you child, would be better if I saw in these red Step. And this being upon the night Smell, all she called And all Smell's sound and used in the same treat. It all ended with Step being out of the sound, the dim warm light, Curtis Miles, and the light assigned to the soft, and the soft started. "Temperament" has of the sense "Temperament" drawn Mr. Kernan. WILLIE OLD GAN WITH OUR GANG Yesterday, at the Hall in Luton, there stop is playing with Our gang in a set filled with hundreds of check-cases to be explained.

TEMPLE Specializing In Women's Diseases and Obstetrics [NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 F. 32n1 St., Phone, HU. 1419 or VA. 1221] Symptoms That are Dangerous During Pregnancy— 4—Sweating of ankles or hands. 5—Puffiness under the eyes. 6—Seaty urination. 7—Nausea and vomiting after the third month—Excessive vomiting at any time. 8—Bleeding however slight from any part of the body. 9—When any of these symptoms occur call your doctor at once. When to Secure Your Doctor In order to ensure the proper advice as early as possible, every prospective mother should consult a competent physician, as soon as she knows that she is an expectant mother. Report at that physician's office every two weeks during pregnancy. At each visit carry a clean bottle of urine passed the sante day. The doctor will examine this day and see if the kidneys are acting right. Examination of the urine during pregnancy is absolutely necessary to protect the life of mother and baby, and so also is necessary to observe all of the above rules in order to assure the health of mother and child and to look forward with confidence to an normal time when the baby is born into the world. THE CARE OF OUR BABIES The following communication from the United States Department of Labor shows clearly the great value which is put upon the lives of babies by our government and prefaces some tremendously important information given out by the U.S. Labor Bureau concerning "Parental Care." U.S. Department of Labor, Children's Bureau, Washington, D.C., July 15, 1943. Shr. I transmit herewith monograph entitled "Parental Care," being the first if a contimplated series on the care of children. A preliminary survey of the field prescribed by law for the bureau's investigations showed at once the urgency of the question of infant mortality. The United States Census Bureau estimates that 300,000 babies less than 1 year old died last year in this country, and it is authoritatively stated that at least half of these deaths were needless. Accordingly the bureau's first field inquiry is upon the subject of infant mortality. The studies preliminary thereto have indicated us to begin our series on the care of children with this monograph on parental care for consideration of which the following statement is significant. The latest reports of the Bureau of Census on mortality statistics show that slightly more than 42 per cent of the infants dying under 1 year of age in the registration area in 1911 did not live to complete the first morning life, and that of this 42 per cent almost seventeenths died as a result of conditions existing before they were born or in injury and accident at birth. Of those that lived less than one week about 83 per cent died of such causes, and of the number that lived less than one day 93 per cent died of these causes. Thus the Children's Bureau was drawn inevitably to begin its contemplated series of monographs on the care of children by a statement recording prenatal care for mother and child. The preparation of such a statement has been requested by the National Congress of Mothers and by members of other representative bodies of women. It has been written by Mrs. West of the staff of the bureau from the standpoint of a woman who has university training, experience in Government research, and who is herself the mother of a family of young children. It has been prepared after careful study of the literature of the subject. It has been read and criticized by a large number of well-known physicians and nurses and by many mothers. To mention by name all those whom the bureau is indebted for valuable aid in its preparation would be impossible, but especial appreciation may be expressed of the generous assistance of Dr. J. Morris Slemons, professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the University of California. This monograph is addressed to the average mother of this country. There is no purpose to invade the field of the medical or nursing professions, but rather to furnish such statements regarding hyziene and normal living as every mother has a right to possess in the interest of herself and her children. A standard of life for the family high enough to permit a woman to conserve her strength for her family, if she knows the facts essential for her guidance, is necessarily taken for granted. The attempt is made here to present some of the most important of these facts. Respectfully submitted. JULIA C. LATHROP, Chief HON WILLIAM B. WILSON. Secretary of Labor. Beth Eden Bapt.

Washington The church building public and all who desire to be inspired with messages of hope for a perfect future in that world to which we journey at death are invited to attend the Joint Revival with the First A. M. E. Zion Church at Pico and Paloma Streets and Bethel Church of Christ (Holiness) at Adams and Hooper, beginning February 4th to 10th at the Bethel Church and ending February 11th to 18th at the First A. M. E. Zion Church with Red. L. Albert Moore and Bishop William A. Washington preaching alternately. 1st A. M. E. Zion Church In spite of adverse weather conditions the A. M. E. Zion Church has had a very successful month. The first two Sundays were rather quiet on account of the record downpour. Deserving of special mention is the Young People's Day which was the third Sunday in January. Mrs. Hazel Whitaker and Miss Luana Martinez, with little Miss Annelia Hester, are working faithfully with the young people. Their efforts have been successful if one may judge from the splendid audience which listened to the earnest message delivered by Mrs. Myrtle Cage og Sunday morning. January 19th. Obviously, this young woman's calling and purpose lies close to her heart. Marked by unusual sincerity was her treatise on "Pressing Forward." Three persons united with the church on this occasion. The Misses Thelma Brown and Dorcas Earls sang very sweetly a sacred duet. In the evening, Mr. O. Romer, who like Miss Cage, is associated with the well-known Peablo Jewels, spoke. His discourse was a fitting climax to the young people's effort. These young workers spread a veritable shower of enthusiasm over the entire congregation. The pastor, Rev. L. Albert Moore, drew compliments on every hand for his appealing sermon on "Finding the Messiah" on the morning of January 20th. He was rewarded by having two additions to the church. A duct was beautifully remunered by Msdames Evelyn Solomon and Izetta Allen. The Missionary Society planned a few hours of recreation in the afternoon in the form of a tea, which was a distinct social success. Sunday evening was given over to the yearly Wilkins recital. As expected, a large and enthusiastic crowd enjoyed the performance of these well trained pupils. The splendid training and technique displayed by the Wilkins school makes this recital extremely popular, while the many pupils grouped together make it a gala occasion.

Spring Street Page----Six To Seek Employment From New York Stores New York, Jan. 29.-By A.N.P.-Following its annual meeting at the local branch the Urban League declared its intention of making a concerted drive to secure the employment of colored help in the many stores of 125th street which so far have refused to relieve the situation by employing colored help. Various paths were discussed whereby these places would give colored help an equal opportunity. At this meeting, Mr. Luke R. Wyche, the highest paid colored worker on compressed air operations, delivered a talk concerning the progress the union has made in, this line. Prior to the organization by the union, workers received from three to four dollars daily, now, their wages range from nine to twelve dollars per day and working conditions have been improved to such an extent that colored men are welcomed into the union readily. Mr. Wyche recently turned down an offer to go to Boston for his Union to organize the workers in that city, giving as his reason inability to leave his present position. It is interesting to note that Mr. Wyche, a foreman on construction, has worked on some of the biggest projects in the city, including the Hudson Vehicular tunnel, the Equitable Building, and many other important projects. Valet Was Rothstein's Trusted Emissary Valet Was Rothstein's Trusted Emissary New York, Jan. 29—Light on the habits of the slain gambler-racketeer, Arnold Rothstein, was shed in the Supreme Court here Tuesday when his former valet, Thomas Farley, colored, took the witness stand in Harry Langer's $70,000 suit against the estate. Rothstein's banking, Farley, testified, went on at the usual rate of $40,000 a day rate, even at the time when the gambler failed to pay his losses in the high-card game that preceded his death. The day after the shooting, Farley went to the Colonial Bank with $38,000 of which $26,000 was deposited in Rothstein's name, and $12,000 in the name of Mrs. Caroline Rothstein. Farley, upon examining the notes which Langer alleges Rothstein signed, declared the signatures forgeries, further stating that the letter which accompanied the notes was not in the handwriting of his former employer. POLITICAL POT PIE It looks like it will be a marathon composed of the Four Horsemen for gubernatorial honors constituted by Governor Young, Ray Riley, Buron Lutts and Mayor Rolph. Here hoping the best man may win. * * * * From the activities of our women folk it appears the women are going to cut a figure in the approaching campaign. * * * * Candidates for political favor will do well to steer clear of political grafters as the unholy months of these greedy monsters begin to water at the pickings which they think they see coming up before them. Assemblyman Roberts has announced himself as a candidate from the newly created 62nd Assembly District. He also informs us that the district is made up as satisfactorily as it was possible to be made, in so far as giving a race candidate an equal break to secure the nomination and election. Nothing beats a trial but a failure; we therefore suggest to an yof the following disciples of the Blackstone-making the race for judgeship: Paul Nash, H. E. Maebeth, E. C. Jennings. Despite all of the shaking of the great and big political plum tree at home or abroad nothing has as yet fallen by way of recognition for the doughty warriors of the group, yet as long as there is life there is hope and while the light holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return. Speaking further along the line of recognition we must take off our hat to city attorney E. P.Werner, he has demonstrated beyond peradventure that he stands both in spirit and in fact for the much talked of and never attained square deal. Jack Johnson Wants To Coach Carnera (By: A. N. P.) New York, Jan. 27.—Jack Johnson says that the latest importation in the heavyweight field, Primo Carnera, the largest man ever to enter the ring in a championship hunt, is about two years away from the grade. Johnson ought to know. After looking over Carnera in action, Johnson made some very pointed comments on the Italian's ability and his lack of ability. The chief thing in the favor of the Italian is his size. His finesse as a boxer is not there and Lil' Arthur seems to think he could take him on now and give him a lesson in the manly art of self-defense. Chicagoans Brave Zero Weather to Hear Abbie Mitchell Chicagoans Brave Zero Weather to Hear Abbie Mitchell (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, January 28.—A tempature of 14 degrees below zero which suddenly invaded Chicago was not sufficient. Fricay night to deter those lovers of music who had made up their minds to hear Abbie Mitchell, "the musicians' singer," in her first appearance in Chicago this season at Kimball Hall. Society, art and music lovers shook their heads at the north wind blasts and determinedly made their way to the musical treat. Miss Mitchell rendered the customary classical program so far as languages are concerned, singing numbers in German, Italian, French, English, and the indigenous Negro numbers. But, the urgency of her program and the difficulties it entailed, combined with her rare voice and a sense of interpretation which invested the songs she sang with a reality that could be felt, served to set her audience off into spells of dizzy applause. That decorum which is supposed to be the mark of culture and of those who patronize the arts was shattered into bits by the manner in which her singing wrought upon the emotions and sensibilities of her hearers. George Garner, the international tenor; Chas Mills, baritone, for years the toast of Europe; John Greene, the mellow baritone, and such other aristocrats of the music circle, indulged themselves in paroxysms of delight. Songs which, according to the critical audience, made the evening specially memorable were the Massenet aria from "Le Cig." "Pleurez, Pleurez, Mes Yeux." Hageman's "Do Not Go My Love," "The Earl King." Will Marion Cook's "Exhortation," and Dawson's "My Heart's Aflame." This last song the poem of which was written by Miss Mitchell's husband. Leslie Tompkins, was sung for the first time. The setting, composed by Dawson, Chicago musician, was one of special beauty. Aimee Lofton Funeral One of Most Outstanding and Beautiful Ever Held The funeral service over the remains of Aimee Lofton who died as a result of asphixiation January 23rd was held from the mortuary of Conner-Johnson & Co. on last Friday. The chapel overflowed with her friends who came out to pay their last respects and the floral offerings were banked mountain high in around and about the bier of the deceased. The service was simple and impressive. The Knights of Tabor of which the deceased was a member had charge. A concourse of automobiles formed a funeral procession which was many block long. Therefore Aimee Lofton was the recipient of honors from her friends in last respects which would be the portion of even a princess. Jury Votes $10,000 Verdict Against Policy King (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Jan. 27—A sealed verdict for $10,000 in favor of Jeanne Claire was returned before Superior Court Judge Joseph B. David by a jury against Julian Black, former owner of the padlocked Apex Night Club and policy wheel operator. The verdict was returned as a result of action brought against Black following an accident in June, 1928, when Rosalie Claire, a white actress, the star of "Sunny Days," was killed while being driven home by Black in his automobile. Miss Claire was the mother of Jeanne, who is now seven years old. Attorneys for the administrator contended that Black, who volunteered to take the group home after they had enjoyed a party at his night club, persisted in speeding despite the protests of his guests, until he struck a light pole which nearly demolished the car, caused the death of Miss Claire, and brought injury to the other occupants, including Black himself. HE LIKED TO SEE TAXIS RUN (By: A. N. P.) Hot Springs, Ark. Jan. 27.—All of the taxi cabs in Garland County were assembled in a rural section near here Saturday morning just because Robert Dugan, a 16-year-old youth "just liked to see taxis run." Dugan established himself in the rural community, took over a telephone and began calling every taxi listed in the directory. When he had finished he had just about all of them either on the spot or on the way. His one mistake was to try his stunt again and the call was traced and so was Dugan and he was placed in jail. If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened SHEFFIELD. DUNN CASE (Continued From Page One) Noted Visitor Lauds Idea POLICE TERRORIZE Southern Whit "Chief" (referring to Davis) was going to assign him jurisdiction over the so-called "Black Belt" and he would fix it so both he and the Hendricks could make money. Accordingly, the deal is alleged to have been negotiated between them, and Mrs. Hendricks claims she was able to fix the dates sufficiently in her mind, of November 5, 12, 24 and 26, 1928, as dates on which protection money was paid by her to the trio. She further stated that every time she paid the trio, the three were alleged to have come to her house together and she would always single Sheffield out and call him to the rear bedroom of her home and in the presence of her niece pay him $25. On being cross-examined by defense attorneys, numerous fallicies were evident in Mrs. Hendricks' testimony. Monday, January 27, Alan Barlow was called to the stand also one James Jones. They both admitted being delivery men for Hendricks. The only startling evidence presented on Monday by the prosecution was by William Felix, another of Hendricks' runners who testified that a 5-gallon can of Alcohol, 180% proof had been transported from defendant Richmond Dunn's home to Hendricks' liquor plant in September, 1929, indicating that the 5-gallon can of alcohol had been sold to Hendricks by Dunn. Felix frankly stated that he heard the whole deal between the two. The prosecution rested its case Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday and up until this paper went to press the defense is flaying its witnesses, comprised by numerous individuals of note in Los Angeles city and county as well as statewide. The case thus far has been very colorful. Objections have been sustained and over-ruled from day to day on both defense and prosecution inter-rogations and cross-examination. Heated arguments have arisen between the defense and prosecution all of which has been ably ironed out. The case will run well into next week. Stabbing Without Malice Didn't Hurt in This Case (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, Jan. 27.—By omitting from their written report the single word "malicious," a jury in Judge Echezabal's court made it impossible for anyone to pass sentence upon a woman whom they had just found guilty of stabbing another, and as a result Alma Thomas, the woman, in question, who had just been convicted by a jury, was allowed to go free. Originally, Alma Thomas had been charged with "cutting with intent to murder," her victim in the case being Ethel King. The verdict reached by the jury Wednesday was "Guilty of womning, less than mayhem." Their written verdict should have read "Guilty of malicious wounding less than mayhem," since that is the offense which is punishable by two years' imprisonment. Thursday morning, when the woman came up for sentence, her attorney, G. Wray Gill pointed out to Judge Echezabal that the verdict of the jury did not include any offense recognized by the laws of Louisiana, and the court at once discharged the woman from custody. New Electric Rate Soon in Force! That electrical cooking, once commonly believed to be expensive, has now been brought within the easy reach of every citizen, is pointed out in an official statement issued this week by the Los Angeles City-Owned Bureau of Power and Light. Under new low electric rates now in effect on the City-Owned Power Bureau system, the Los Angeles family may now enjoy all the benefits of electrical cooking at a cost as low as one cent per person per meal, the Bureau statement reveals. "For several years the Modern Servant of Electricity has been removing the drudgery from home management in many ways," stated Chief Electrical Engineer E. F. Scattergood of the Power Bureau. "The electrically driven vacuum cleaner freed the home maker from the back-breaking task of sweeping carpets with a broom, and at the same time provided a method of efficiently and quickly removing the dirt from the floor, furniture and walls. "In the same way, the electrically operated washing machine and flat iron removed the blue from the old fashioned Blue Monday wash day. And so with perhaps a score of modern household electrical appliances. "And perhaps the greatest of all these electrical conveniences is electrical cooking. Now, under the extremely low rates maintained by the City-Owned Power Bureau, residents of Los Angeles may cook electrically and economically at the same time." "It has been estimated that under the low rates of the City-Owned Power Bureau, a Los Angeles family may now cook electrically for one cent per person per meal. Considering the many special advantages that attend electrical cooking, this low cost makes Noted Visitor Lauds Idea of Community Hospital for L. A. Distinguished Seattle Physician Praises Association Move A first class Community Hospital and Clinic that will cater to all races and creed while employing members of our race in its administrative branches is one of the finest things that I can conceive of for Los Angeles said Dr. J. A. Merriman of Portland, a distinguished practitioner of Oregon and now the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Baldwin of 1156 E. 27th street. RACE PHYSICIANS WORKING TOGETHER FINE THING. When I was told that a clinic a 1396 E. 15th street under the apsis of the association was now open and operating, that almost every coloored physician in the city was a member of its staff, donating absolutely free time and talent, I was dumbfounded. I felt that there must be some mistake. Possibly a view of our doctor but surely not twenty or thirty could forget personal ambitions and differences and work side by side without pay in any project. But I was as surred that such was the case. That not only doctors but ministers, businessmen and workers were all united in one big effort to accomplish this wonderful object. Then I became Biblical also exclaimed, "Surely the Lord is in this place." WISHES $5,000 CAMPAIGN SUCCESS I wish the Association the greatest success in its $5,000 Donation Campaign and must say that the spirit which the churches are showing in support of this movement is almost without parallel in the history of any previous move of the kind for our people regardless of the city in which it was staged. I have donated to this campaign and expect before my departure to donate more. I export the captains in this drive to keep up their good work, each doing his utmost not to win a prize but to accomplish this project, the most wonderful undertaking ever initiated in a city. Hold Rhinelander's Property Pending Suit New York, Jan. 29—Tuesday in the Supreme Court at White Plains, Mr Justice Morschauser issued an order directing that the properties of Kip Rhinlander be attached pending the decision in the separation suit brought about by Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinlander. The wife of millionaire blue blood declares that her husband or ex-husband, according to which side of the Reno decision you choose, has stocks and bonds worth $180,000 from which he derives a neat income. She further asks the sequestration of several valuable properties alleged to belong to Rhinlander. Mrs. Rhinelander has refused to accept the Reno decree, declaring it illegal. In her claim filed in the White Plains Court, Mrs. Rhinelander has attached an affidavit sworn to by a Las Vegas newspaper coeditor, which states that "Kip married the New Rochelle colored hackman's daughter, believing her Spanish and fell into the Slough of Despond when he learned that he had wed a colored girl. Although in the White Plains Court four years ago, the Nevada Court accepted it. NO SUPERIOR RACE DECLARES RABBI Nashville, Teen, Jan. 29—By ANP—"There is no such thing as a superior race, though there are superior individuals within each race," was the statement of Rabbi Julius Mark, in his keynote address before the annual meeting of the State Interracial Committee in this city a few days ago. "The illusion of race superiority is a fallacy." Dr. Mark continued, "and gives rise to a great deal of trouble. People should learn also that race prejudice is not instinctive but acquired. Consequently it can be eradicated." The address of Dr. Mark was one of a number of interesting discussions of various phases of race relations. Among the speakers were Dr. W. J. Hale, persistent A. and M. College Judge John H. Dewitt of the state court of appeals; Dr. E. L. Bishop state commissioner of health; J. M. Robinson, state welfare director; Lee Loventhal, of the city park boards Dr. C. V. Roman, Dr. Robert T. Burt, Dr. Mattie Coleman, and Mrs. C. L. Kinkead. HOLD OCTOGENARIAN ON STATUTORY CHARGE Orange.

POLICE TERRORIZE DETROITERS (By: A. N. P.) Detroit, Jan. 27.—One of the very first and most important cases to come up before the new police commissioner, who took his seat here January 20, and one which it is believed will determine at the outset just what to expect in the way of improvement over the former commissioners policy, as it relates, to the treatment of colored citizens by members of the police force here, was the case of Marvin Fleming, proprietor of Fleming Sweet Shop on Milford avenue against the Detroit Police Department. A few nights ago officers entered Mr. Fleming's place and immediately began searching customers, both men and women without the slightest warning or reason for so doing. In the mad rush and roughhouse tacities of these police, they knocked down one of the employees who dared to interfere. Encountering Marvin Fleming on their way to the rear of ing's grit alone being responsible, He represented with the officers, but angered them when he took their numbers. They immediately called, the "flying squad" whose arrival started the rough neck anties again, all patrons being again searched and roughly handled. The irie of the Negroes of the entire westside has been aroused to the fighting point and the Westside Immovement Association under W. P. McDaniel has begun to work which means that action will be taken, in an effort to bring the policemen before the police trial board and possibly suit against the city. Meanwhile, the entire city is anxiously awaiting the outcome in order to get a line on the new commissioner and his method of handling the police department. Geo. A. Myers, Famous Cleavelander Dead (B; A N P) Cleveland, Ohio, January 28.—Geo A. Myers, pioneer Clevelander, friend of Mark Hanna, and prominent in the civic and business affairs of this city for many years, died Friday. Myers was a native of Baltimore. Md., the son of Isaac Myers, who was a personal trieno of Frederick Douglass and assisted Douglass in many of his efforts in behali of Freedom. Mr. Myers was best known in his political contact with the late Senator Marcus A. Hanna. During the preliminary campaign of William McKinley for president, Myers was spokesman for Hanna in arranging for delegates from the South at the St. Louis convention in 1896. It was he who went to Mr. Hanna with the information that the St. Louis hotels were refusing to accommodate Negro delegates. Mr. Hanna a tonce is issued an ultimatum to the effect that if the hotels failed to serve colored delegates he would take the convention to another city. The hotels were opened. As proprietor of the Hollendon Hotel Barber Shop, which Ellibert Hub hard during his lifetime said publicly and in his magazine "is the finest barbership in America." Myers came in touch with the foremost people of the nation. He was always a student and his opinions were highly regarded There was a complaint following the election of McKinley about Myers "barber, being the spokesman of the Negroes," but to this complaint Mr Hanna nor McKinley gave no heed Myers refused personally all political appointments but was strong in advocating his friends. Through him Judson W. Lyons was made Registrar of the United States Treasury and John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds; John R. Lynch, Auditor of the Navy. During the administration of Theodore Roosevelt when the president called in Booker T. Washington and asked, him to select an Ohio man as Auditor for the Navy, as a political stroke against the late Senator J. B. Foraker, leader in the Brownsville riot incident, it was Myers who suggested the name of Ralph W. Tyler, who received the appointment. Myers was married twice, a son, Herbert surviving; his second wife and daughter, Dorothy, a teacher in the Cleveland Public schools. He left an estate reputed to be of considerable proportions. YOUTHFUL AVIATOR MAKES INITIAL FLIGHT (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Jan. 27 —With the temperature on and around the sidewalks hovering at several points below the zero mark, Johnnie Robinson, local youth who has attracted much attention in aviation circles, made his initial flight over the southside of the city Saturday afternoon. Robinson was warned by experienced birdmen of the danger of making the flight due to the cold weather, but he stated that he had promised those who made it possible that he would circle the southside Saturday afternoon and he wanted to keep his promise. Robinson kept his promise, made a successful flight but that to be lifted from the plane because of his physical condition. His arms and legs were frozen and for several days he has been undergoing treatment. Graduating from Tuskegee Institute several years ago, Robinson became interested in aviation. Attention was first drawn to him when it was announced that he had constructed an aeroplane, "which would actually fly" from automobile parts. He did not, however, make his initial flight in that plane. Southern White Editors Follow Doings of N.A.C.P. Southern White Editors Follow Doings of N.A.C.P. New York, Jan. 24—Southern editors of white dailies are following with increasing attention the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as evidenced by the frequent editorial mention of its activities. Among the recent editors from which the N. A. A. C. P. forwards extracts is the following: Columbia, South Carolina State: "It has long been a source of amazement to us why the Negroes of this Land of the Free - and the home of the brave - have not sternly come forward in a demand that their men and women of their race, now held in bondage by various other peoples, be set free. Let us strike the gyves from all limits - of whatever color, and why not begin, like charity, at home, and rescue Haiti and the Philippines." But we note with rejoicing that the Negroes of this country so far as they may be represented and be spoken by the National Association (for the Advancement of Colored People, are coming forward in a demand for the liberation of all 'colored' people still under the domination of some other race. "Dr. W. E. B. Dulls, foremost Negro publicist and thinker, calls in the world movement of freedom for colored races." And he put the matter in this way in an address to the twentieth annual mass meeting of the Association: "Twelve million Negroes are organized to contend for emancipation from discrimination in political, civil and social life in America. China has abolished extort ritoriality in judicial procedure. Tudia has declared for independence from Great Britain. Egypt has received partial independence. "Ethiopia has entered the League of Nations and sent a Minister to England. All these movements are disconnected but significant phases of a world movement of freedom for colored races. The colored people of America will have to have this world movement in their heart." The editorial concludes by inquiring why Haiti, Hawaii and the Philippines are not included in the list of people to be freed. The N. A. A. C. P. has written to the editor of the STATE reminding him of its long continued championship of self-government for Haiti, and of its late President's, Moorfield Storey's urgency that the Philippines be freed. MAID FINDS DEAD WOMAN MAID FINDS DEAD WOMAN (By: A, N, P) New York, January 28—When Mis-Neutrice St. Louis, colored maid in the apartment of Dudley Murphy moving picture director, opened the door of his living room Thursday morning to begin her day's work, she was surprised, not agreeably, by the sight of a woman, richly dressed, living on a couch, apparently asleep. Miss St. Louis tipped over to the reclining figure touched it lightly and noticed that a string of pearls the woman wore had cut deeply in her neck. Touching the woman, in an effort to wake her, the man discovered to her horror and dismay that the apparently sleeping woman was dead. Hurriedly she went to the master's bedroom to see if he was home. Sure enough, Mr. Murphy was home, in bed and sound asleep beside him was his friend and co-occupant of the apartment, John Barbour. The maid told her employer of the dead woman and he immediately rushed in the room to see what it was all about. There was nothing he could except notify the police. The woman was Mrs. Harriet M. Adler, the estranged wife of a broker now on a world cruise. Medical examiners declared the woman died of alcoholism and heart failure. Mr. Murphy says that the woman constantly pursued him, although he did all within his power to discourage her attentions. Murphy further says that the woman came to his apartment early the night before and showed conclusive evidence of having been drinking rather heavily. Both Murphy and Barbour asked the visitor to leave and when she refused, they left her and went inside in the next room and retired for the night. That was the last time they saw her alive. The director won fame recently because of a colored talkie he made, "The St. Louis Blues," featuring Clara Smith and a number of colored actors. He Got What He Wanted He Got What He Wanted (By: A. N. P.) Senatobia, Miss., Jan. 27.—Ivery Woods was convicted of assault and battery and sentenced to a year in the state penitentiary at the last term of the Circuit Court, but somehow in the shuffle of appeals and new trials Ivery escaped a notice to the traveling sergeant to come and get him, and was released from jail. Ivery walked into the court clerk's office the other day and wanted to know why all the other boys who had been convicted in court had had their ride to the penitentiary and he was left out in the cold. The clerk, after looking into the matter, found that Ivery had missed something and he was given the ride to the state farm. NEGRO A BEGGAR DESPIE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES disfranchisement and the crime of lynching as problems. These are not problems, but lilies suffered, by the race because of its ONE big problem, economic weakness. The Negro problem is nothing more nor less than the failure of the race to feed, clothe and house itself. In Los Angeles there are 75,000 Negroes who are spending a minimum of $44,300,000.00 per year, on sixteen articles of consumption. In a subsequent article I shall go into this in details. Because of our failure to institute a system of commercial control of the amount of money that we spend each year for necessities we are continually broadcasting a Macedonian cry, while hundreds of whites are growing rich and thousands are kept in employment at good wages, serving our needs over the counter. Because the race has given little thought to its real problem, and because of its failure through concerted action, to institute a system of necessity control, we are living on borrowed grounds. Labor saving machinery is putting white men out of work and the latter are forcing Negroes out of employment. Even the menial jobs of which we once had a monopoly, are fast slipping from us. At present white men are collecting garbage in Long Beach and every Negro janitor has been given its walking patrons and white janitors given their jobs in the new city hall in Pasadena. I could mention definite cases in apartment houses, private domestic services, etc., but space will not permit. Even though the race is finding it harder to obtain and hold employment, have we any right to complain when, because of negligence and general cussiness we let $44,3000.00$ pass through our fingers every year? If white employers give preference to white men in matters of employment it is because blood is thicker than water. We cannot blame white men for thinking white and seeking to better the condition of white men. We ought to think as much of ourselves. The Negro race must stop trying to do things to cause others to think well of us. We must develop an economic system, one that will cause the race to think well of itself and grow strong within its own ranks. This done it will be strong with, and well thought of by the white race. We are educating our boys and girls in the highest schools and colleges in the land and making very little attempt to create employment for them. They are not hired as public school teachers except in a few cases. Big business does not want them, it matters not what their worth. We are not making the proper effort to compete with big business so we continue our system of begging for jobs, funds, and civic tolerance, while at the same time we presume to be strong enough to fight the powers that be. For such efforts we get fewer jobs, more funds for educational and religious purposes, and more civic tolerance and contempt from the white man. The race is strong on the professions, medicine, dentistry, law, the ministry, etc., but unless an economic system is developed to lift the masses, support to these professions will cease. Friends, we are draining ourselves and making no attempt to close the hung hole. The world moves on to more and more tangible things. White men are devising ways and means to increase commercial activities and to better the condition of humanity. The Negro race is moving on also, but for the most part, in the opposite direction. The race is still looking to the courts, public servants, and white Christians to solve their problem, not realizing that even if these would solve our problem they could not. We ourselves must solve our own economic problem and we can do so only by instituting a system of necessity control that will lift the masses. The bread and butter condition of the many is what needs attention. Registrars of the treasury, Congressmen, or other public servants mean nothing to a begging race. We put our hope in public offices and attempt to draw power from powerless places. We must develop through economic cooperation so that we can make Congressmen and other public servants. We must get out of our heads that these offices and public servants can help the race. Negroes must develop an economic power that can break public servants. When we reach this stage we can also make them. In conclusion I wish to emphasize that it is important to train boys and girls, but more important to make use of their training and ability. It is important to organize to fight for our constitutional rights but more important to organize associations for work and business. With our present methods the race is becoming poorer and more wretched. Ours is not a question of racial improvement and commercial expansion, as it ought to be, but a fight for existence. Order Mistrial for Youthful Slayer 一 (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La.

Dinkins Japanese Girl Obelia Teele Spanish Girl Evelyn Warren Knife Cut Brings Luck Knife Cut Brings Luck Stranger things happen in the movies and Pete Edwards, tall gangling movie extra can well verify the fact after an experience last week while working as "atmosphere" in Moran and Macks new Lasky feature, "The Two Black Crows with the A. E. F." Pete worked all day Thursday but that night got into an argument with a lady friend named Celestine who swings a mean butcher knife. Pete emerged from the battle with a long cut on his head and another down across his nose. He appeared at the studio next morning with a piece of white sticking plaster across his nose and another on his forehead. Other extras called out to Pete: "Too bad Jim, for you, you'll never get to work with all them cuts on you." Undiscouraged, Pete dressed and went on the set expecting to be sent home as soon as the directors spied him. To the contrary, both Mr. Wallace and Mr. Boobby Lee, his assistant, laughed at his story and replied: "Why cut, you can work, we'll give you a break. When the crown meets Mr. Mack at the station, you pick him up on your shoulder and head the parade down the street with him." So nickname him "Butcher Knife" they called upon him a number of times for "shots" that brought him right into the camera. Now Pete believes that butcher knives are good luck even if fighting females are not. Drink Terror Affects Some Actors New York, Jan. 27—In the current issue of the "Pittsburgh Courier," Chappie Gardner, well-known critic, actor and writr, expresses an opinion long known to be a fact and one which producers vainly fought against. Colored performers, achieving a medium of success, instantly go "high hat" and attempt to absorb too much alcohol for their own good. On numerous occasions, this has been noted on the local stage and the actors devotion to the bottle has proved a stumbling block for more than one. Sometime ago, in 1926, a noted German producer visited New York and asked a local newspaper man to accompany him to some of the better houses in Harlem in search of colored act for a revue to be presented in a night club in Berlin. This producer had in mind long term contracts for appearances in the Leading German cities and other cities in Europe should the actors prove capable. A certain local theater where a well-known team was performing was visited. The manager welcomed the German producer and his escort and when the manager was asked what time the team would go on, he reluctantly said that the team had been discussed because one of the girls failed to make rehearsals and when she did show up, she was so intoxicated she could not go on. He had to dismiss the part which had recently gained much publicity on Broadway.

P. to Finance Appeal in Virginia White Primary Case New York, Jan. 25.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has pledged itself to pay $500 to Messrs. Alfred E. Cohen and Joseph R. Pollard, attorneys in the Virginia White Primary Case and who will take it up to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary. The N. A. A. C. P. had previously contributed $100 for the prosecution of this case, which was originally prepared under the direction of the late Louis Marshall. It was the subject of the last conference on N. A. A. C. P. legal cases in Mr. Marshall's office. June 19, 1929, before his departure for Europe, where he died. Present at the conference were Messrs. Cohen, Pollard, Leon A. Reid of Richmond, Arthur B. Spingarn, Walter White, and William T. Andrews. The case has now been appealed by the Virginia white Democrats to the U. S. District Court of Appeals where it is to be heard shortly. The case, known as West v. Billey, concerns the right of State Democratic Committees to bar colored voters from voting in a primary election, as Mr West was barred in Virginia. The Texas White Primary case, Nixon vs. Herndon, won before the U. S. Supreme Court by the N. A. A. C. P. forbids a state to pass a law excluding colored voters from the primaries. The next step in a number of states, among them Virginia, Texas, Florida, Arkansas and Georgia, was a law enabling the State Committees to pass on qualifications of voters, thus putting it in their power to do what the state was forbidden to do by law. The case has been won in the lower courts by the attorneys retained by Virginia colored citizens and the N. A. A. C. P. and it is believed that prospects are excellent for a victory in the higher courts. A similar case is in preparation in Texas, where F. C. Knollenberg, attorney in the Texas White Primary Case, has again been retained by the N. A. A. C. P. Victory in either or both of these cases before the U. S. Supreme Court would effectually dispose of the movement to keep colored voters out of primary elections in the South. At the home of Miss Ora Lee Presley on East Maple Ave., Monrovia, Monday evening, January 27th a Literary Club was organized by the younger set. The elected officers were: Mr. Elmer Eane, president and Miss Mercedes Tillman, secretary.

Charges Against Judge New York, Jan. 24—Pressing their charges against Magistrate March Rudich of Brooklyn because he failed to hold for trial the patrolman who shot Ralph Baker, Lincoln University student, representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People were heard by the grievance committee of the Brooklyn Ear Association this week. Present for the N. A. A. C. P. were Morris L. Ernst, prominent liberal attorney, who volunteered his services in the case; William T. Andrews, N. A. A. C. P. Special Legal Assistant and Walter White, acting secretary. They reiterated the charges made by letter to Chief Magistrate McAdoo and to the Brooklyn Bar Association, that Magistrate Rudich had favored the patrolman, had declined to hear witnesses for Ralph Baker and his companion, had urged a civil settlement for $500, which came close to "compounding a crime," and had not shown due diligence in handling the case. Following the testimony Mr. White wrote to Edward H. Wilson, secretary of the Bar Association's committee summarizing the N. A. A. C. P. point of view in the matter. In his letter Mr. White said in part: "We are not interested in this case as a personal matter. Our interest lies in the fact that if a police officer can shoot, with impunity, two innocent Negroes of the type of Messrs. Baker and Fontaine, and then go seat free the precedent this established endangers the safety and the lives of all of the colored citizens of the City of Greater New York and any Negroes who might happen to visit New York City. "We feel very strongly that Magistrate Radich coes not possess the high intelligence, loyalty to the high ideals which should permute courts of justice, or the proper diligence to sit as a magistrate in the courts of New York. "We fully understand that you are not called upon to present charges for the impachment of Magistrate Rudich, but either to place or refuse to place your stamp of approval on Magistrate Rudich for continuation in office. Is it not obvious that the community deserves the best of the Bar sitting on the bench? Is it sufficient if Magistrate Rudich is average? There are no doubt less competent magistrates. But, is he the best the Bar can supply? If you approve him, will you not resign the community to the present level of magistracy?

Jan. 28--Missouri Negroes have every reason to feel proud of the first year record of Henry S. Caulfield as governor of the state, according to Robert S. Cobb, secretary of the industrial commission Negroes of that commonwealth, Mr. Cobb believes that in one year, Gov. Caulfield has shown a definite interest in Negro education and has brought about concrete improvements. One of the changes the governor is responsible for that has helped Negroes has been the modifying of the former state statute which required that fifteen children to reside in a school district before a school could be opened for them. The governor's message urged a change in the tastes and the number of children required was reduced to eight. This made it possible to provide facilities for 4,000 more Negro children. The governor had the following to say in his message regarding the state university for Negroes: "The Missouri State University, with spacious buildings and equipment and large annual expenditures, is provided for the white children. There is no university worthy of the name provided by the state for the colored children. If the latter would obtain an university education they must leave the State of Missouri. This is unjust and unconventional." As a result of this attitude of the governor, the general assembly made a larger appropriation than ever before for Lincoln University and in addition appropriated a quarter of a million dollars for a new administration building. The governor also appointed a commission of prominent citizens to study the needs of educational and elementary institutions in the state and this commission recommended a million-dollar development program for Lincoln University to cover a ten-year period. Another improvement brought about by Governor Canfield is the change in the crowded condition which used to exist in Negro cell houses at the state prison. ABEL'S Book & Bible House 814 E.

Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION SOUTH CAROLINA'S EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN "The news that South Carolina has initiated a campaign to stamp out illiteracy from its borders must be interesting to every true patriot in this enlightened age. The educational machinery of the state in conjunction with that of the Federal Government has begun an intensive teaching campaign to teach every citizen of the state to read and write their names. Those of us who know the history of that state know that it has the record in backward citizenship and all other matters, that go to make up substantial progress. This has been due to the very scant attention it has given to education, especially among its colored people. This has produced a class of citizens that furnishes a constant impediment to the progress of the state. It was in South Carolina that the first gun of the Civil War was fired. It was the first state to secede from the Union and the last to return. It has always been found on the wrong side of almost every question of racial interest. Its public servants have been elected and kept in office on the strength of their tirade and abuse of its colored citizens. It was here that Ben Tillman and Blease were produced. In short it has built its statesmen and statesmanship upon the theory that the further down it kept its colored people the stronger it would become. But now it has become ashamed of itself and set out to rectify the mistake. We can only hope South Carolina is in earnest and will not weaken on the job. We have followed with keen interest the article, purported to be written by some ex-convict of the state's largest prison which have been appearing in one of the daily papers of this city. If what he says is true, this beloved state of ours stands out in shameful condemnation before the world. If not, this ex-convict ought to be returned to that prison for life on the charge of disturbing the peace of the taxpayers whose money keeps up such a disgraceful institution. Since these writings have been going the rounds for so long without contradiction we assume they are substantially correct. We have followed with keen interest written by some ex-convict of the state's law appearing in one of the daily paper of the true, this beloved state of ours stands out in the world.

He says that in the mess hall and the cell, "a Negro sits here and white man there," etc., which he goes on to condemn, as a horrible wrong and a revolting condition under which a white prison is forged to live in expiation of his crime. This detests the whole purpose of his effort and weakens an otherwise strong case. It is hard for one to imagine a man so beset with the revolting surrounding, this prisoner describes who is truthful and sincere and at the same time take the time to give vent to his personal racial aversion and its substance ask for segregation in the state's common prison. The state authorities ought to deride the case here presented on the very justifiable grounds that when a man wrongs society to the extent that he must be sent to the penitentiary whatever the color of his skin, his punishment cannot be dealt out to him according to his own order.

That is a clever definition, but compiles. Perhaps people who have charm are the ones who listen well, who seem very much interested in what we have to say, and who seek few opportunities to put forth their own opinions. To have charm is to have a real and earnest interest in others.

These facts are of little importance in themselves, but are interesting as a revelation of the strong hold that the Bible has on the affections of the people. Counting the letters in the Book was manifestly a labor of love on the part of the compiler. It is impossible to conceive of any other volume of like size exercising so powerful a fascination that anyone would want to count the letters. And it should be borne in mind in considering the subject that while nobody, perhaps, ever made a compilation of this sort before thousands have studied the Bible just as painstakingly in other ways. There are well authenticated cases of men who have committed the whole of the New Testament to memory. John Muir, the naturalist, not only learned the New Testament by heart but the greater part of the Old in addition. It is no wonder that a book which is so greatly loved should continue, thousands of years after it was first written, to be the best seller. Page----Eight BRASS RANDS CHARM THE : GOOD BOOK If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened A scientist has found after some study that the temperature at which the average American is most comfortable is 70 degrees, while British homes maintain a temperature of 164 degrees. Seeking for the reason why Americans are acclimatized to a temperature six degrees warmer than that which the Englishman finds most comfortable, he hit upon the wider use of steam heating in this country. There is a possibility that the scientist has mistaken the result for the cause. One informed on customs and conditions of both countries comes to the conclusion that the equable but generally cooler climate of England results in the wearing of heavier clothing there and that the heavier apparel makes a lower temperature indoor more acceptable. The winters are colder and the summers hotter in the United States than on the British Isles, so the American wears thinner and lighter clothing the year around, depending upon warm buildings to keep him warm in winter. In England changing seasons do not necessitate such radical changes in the thickness of man's "fur" as would be required here if houses and offices were not so well heated, so the Britisher wears his heavier garments and saves his coal supply. COMMENTS W. J. WHEATON Phohibition continues to hold the spotlight on the National Stage. The enforcement of the laws governing the 18th Amendment has taken precedence in the discussions of the lawmakers. It appears to have narrowed to two methods: Shall we kill off the bootleggers by shooting them or reduce the number of the buyers by poisoning. It seems to the people who have not allowed fanatism to worm their reasoning that both of these methods are inhuman; that a law so unpopular; so disregarded and condemned should be modified. In the ten years that the Volstead act has been part of the National Constitution there has been tried some of the most drastic means that human ingenuity could suggest. Some of them have verged near the point of actual murder. It has had no effect other than to incite a disrespect for enacted laws, which is alarming. It threatens the foundation of the government and has undermined the basis of the nation's social life. There are two things that legislation—in a democracy—cannot control: religious and personal liberty. To live ones own life so long as it does not infringe on the personal rights of another. We believe that corner grog shops was a menace, and that its abolishment was a necessity. Many persons supported the measure with the thought that the uprooting of the saloon would do much toward cleansing our political system, and loosening the strangle-hold it had on our body politic both in local and national affairs. There is disillusionment: The bootleger today is more potent in the political life of the nation than ever was the corner grogery. It is the surreptitious purveyor of the illicit still who will light on the side of prohibition and pour his wealth into its coffers to retain it. Government control and regulation is the only panacea. Human nature must be relied upon if success is to be attained in any of the endeavors, be they social, religious or political. Once we distrust it or its ideals we invite an antagonism hard to control successfully. In the endeavor to force certain ideas our zealots advocates of prohibition have failed to rely upon human nature and invited distrust which in turn has bred antagonism. Human nature, through education, can be won to temperance which, after all is the true ideal. Perhaps some readers of this column have not seen it: An editorial in the San Francisco Examiner—"A Sensible Youth" "Alonzo Souleigh Parham of Chicago, the Negro cadet who was flunked out at West Point, gained the respect of thousands of Americans when he said: 'I got a square deal. Look at those other fellows. They weren't dropped on account of their color. Neither was I. Parham failed at Mathmatics. Army officers need mathmatics, but they need still more that of ability to accept responsibilities for their own blunders which Parham showed when he took the blame for his own failure. Parham was not the first Negro to go to West Point. Some years ago one of them went through the full course, and later rose to the rank of colonel. The young cadet was justified in calling attention to the great number flunked out every year at West Point. The requirements there are stiff. And of late years all good universities have ten. I to flunk out more students than of old. The ca universities are very heavy at Stanford and the University of California at the end of every semester." There were sixty-tour youths who flunked with Parham. Thi youth made the sixth Negro to enter West Point. Three left within the year, and three received their commissions. It is hardly conceivable that Robert Abbott, editor and publisher of The Chicago Defender is going to allow himself to be used as a political pawn, or to pull the chestnutts from the life for a disgruntled lot—who would, through selfish interest, jeopardize the safety of the seat in Cona quarter of a century they regularly returned the same representative,ress now held by the representative from the First Illinois District. For Martin B. Madison was elected by Negro votes. Then why not give the present representative, successor to Martin Madden, a fair show. Encourage him. Let the criticism be constructive and friendly. When he makes mistakes—as they all do—point them out. The country looks to Abbott as one of its brightest lights. The Negro believes in his sincerity. We honestly believe that should he lend his name to jeopardize the selection of a Race candidate his sincerity would be doubted and his future usefulness requested. Certainly: every man has a chance, or right to change his religion or his politics, but one begins to ponder when we notice Attorney Farl Dicker on as one of those who want Abbott to stand as a candidate. Dicker-on but a few years back contestled the seat with the late M. B. Madison. He ran as a Democrat Mob law should be condemned, and the rioters punished, no difference who they attackors, or who the sufferers. We hold no brief for the Fillipinos, who were mobbed by the rioters at Watsonville, but they should have lawful protection Thanking God that he had been born in America: Senator Smoot, Utah said: "When America fails, civilization fails. But America will not fail." Ever since the dawn of history words of similar character have been said. Optimism will not suffice. Governments have fallen, civilization set back, because of the failure to recognize the most potent factor in government—The Golden Rule A Japanese girl, born in the United States, went to Japan and married. She returned and was deported. The United States Court of Appeals ruled: "A Japanese girl although born in this country has no right to citizenship if she marries a Japanese in Japan."

That is, unless there is a leakage in the overhead. The reverence of this is why a couple of thousand of us fail to get the tactics of one of the big fraternal organizations—the J. B. P. O. F. When there were four o rivehundred lodges the tax per capita was 15 and 25 cents. Now they boast twoice that many lodges and a proportionate increase in membership and want to raise the per capita to $1.00. Can you get it? Conceding that a number are drawing salaries in disproportion of service, it seems unbelievable that the cost of dispensing fraternalism should increase 75 per cent. It may be that the money of the "Brethren" is being dispersed with the sanny abandon as deputy commissions. California has seven.

Intellectual Honesty (By CARL ECHOLS) It seems that intellectual honesty is the rarest kind of honesty. We venture to say, were it possible to read the minds of mankind in general we would discover many startling facts: We would probably find all kinds of secret ideas and beliefs that were contrary to the individuals overt conduct. Some timid people gain courage enough to entertain independent ideas, but they'd swown these ideas to be exposed to society. Throughout the ages there have been fearless thinkers who dared defy any majority when it came to intellectual honesty. But they were few and far between. They are still a very small minority. Many college breed individuals believe in astrology. They'd deny it, however. They are aware that orthodoxy science holds such a subject in ill repute. Pray, how many college folks would openly challenge dogmatic science? Many question their pit theology. They wouldn't confess this. For they would probably be called atheists. Who wishes to be mentally ostracized? hence we think one thing and act and speak another. We fear opinions and unpopularity. A payable turnoff reigns within. We grow mould and nemoise. Why? Because we suffer from a sort of mental congression. We cowardly compromise our convictions; but nature winks at no cheats. She makes us pay the last patrish. What difference does it make whether any one scribes our beliefs or not? After all, cowards and weaklines must have the support of a crowd before they even claim their own calls. For generations scientists and scholars adhered to the physics and mathematics of Newton and Euclid. But King comes an Einstein who is intellectually honest and brave. He deemed the ancient and honorable tim that "two peril is a never cross". At first, he guarded and silly this: "I unded to truth sephists. But Mr. Einstein has placed his mental child on about a firm a footing as Newton or Euclid ever did. But directs his honesty calls for fearless men and women. For those resourceful enough to stand alone; and game enough not to live a lie. THE MACMARR FOOD STORES Pursuant to our policy as a leading journal, we are directing the attention of our people to merchants and merchandise which should particularly interest them from an economical investment standpoint. We do so because we feel that you, like ourselves, must seek bargains in order to make our already too small money-stretch to the limit. We are selecting one this week which we have not only examined and prayed ourselves, but to whom we sent from two to five of our people last week for the purchase of their weekend table supplies, cautioning them to say nothing but measure their pocket book balances and quality of merchandise afterwards in a perfectly fair and comparative light. Twenty-seven did as we asked so far as we know. Our representative saw them again Monday and Tuesday of this week. Of the twenty-seven who followed our direction, twenty-four reported a great saving in money and supreme satisfaction in the quality of merchandise. Many volunteered their own estimate of the courteous treatment received and the clean appearance of the store they visited. Thirteen said, "MacMarr's for me hereafter." The writer of this article was one of those who made his food purchase for a family of seven at one of the MacMarr stores and must join the above chorus in commendation. These stores are convenient, in fact you can hardly turn without, walking into one. We have done this as a favor to our many, many readers in this city.

Commissions are appointed To ascertain the cause, Of such flagrant violations, And disrespect for laws. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, Have never been obeyed, And to enforce their provisions, No effort has been made. South of Mason and Dixion line, These amendments were deplored, And ever since reconstruction days, They have been ignored. Black men in the South, Have been mobbed and lynched, But the record fails to show, That a lyncher was ever pinched. The churches, and their Preachers, In mob rule have acquiesced; They sang the songs of Zion, While Negroes, hung in distress. Congress has not appropriated Any money to find out, The cause of mob violence, Or, what it is about. The poor and helpless Negroes. Have been, abandoned to cruel fate; No hand has been extended, To protect them up to date. The Eighteenth amendment is designed To change mans natural taste: Regulate his drinking proclivities, And reform the human race. More than Thirteen Hundred citizens Within the last ten years, Have been shot to death, By the Government Cavaliers. More than one-half million men, Have passed through prison gates, Charged with transporting liquor. In these United States. Our great Government has expended Many millions of its funds.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 Is there anyone with pen so pliable as to be able to give out the most delicate shadings of the soul's delights? At the appointed hour, the artist in frenzy, moved by the Great invisible Force, dipping his brush into his colors dabs frantically on the canvas before him not knowing perhaps just what he wants to express, only pouring out from the depths of his heart, its content. He gazes on the result with disgust, despairingly he flings aside his brush and canvas. Broken in spirit, mind and body he perhaps dies a failure, in the eyes of the world. A century or so hence, perhaps many centuries, in some old sting or deep among the discarded effects of a family, this painting is dug out by a reborn spirit, a breath of the immortal Spirit, conceived by a woman. He sees beauty in everything. In rapture he holds cloft the discarded work of the forgotten artist. At once it becomes a blazing thing of beauty, the imprint of a soul in passing. As I think of the Abbsina Baptist church or New York, I am as the artist as he sat with brush in hand, the pounding tumult of his soul longing for expression, but alas, I have not his skill with the brush, and this pen of mine is far too weak to give utterance, it will not bend to give the finer touches. I stand against that sun-lit Sunday morning. The perspiration causes my clothing to stick and cling to my body as I pause on the threshold of this magnificent church building. Young people, old folk and the middle-aged are passing in, unmindful of the heat that pours from the outside in, from the inside out. From below, voices come up in congregated babbling—the Sunday school room was my thought. I turn back down for a peek in and behold men and women in a warm discussion of Bible teachings. I notice that many are turning their steps toward the auditorium proper, I follow. The voices of strong men boom out as they in large numbers, forming a class; discuss the prophets of centuries past. Up the stairway. Here the Sunday school rooms where hundreds of little folk are being given instruction. Up and on I go in search of all the hidden treasures of this storehouse. I turn in the walking rooms. There a spacious room to the right of the hallway, furnished as complete, as a living room of any well furnished home. Oversuprised divans, chairs luxurious pillows, table lamps, etc. smoke it into a comfortable club room where the various clubs and church auditoriums hold their meetings. Then the locker rooms and there First Aid rooms, a miniature hospital, with furnishings of beds, tables and surgical equipment. To the rear a dining room and kitchen for club use. Preparations are now on for an afternoon dinner. I turn my eyes upward to still and other sight of stairs but I turn my eyes upward to still another sight of stairs but I told that only the pastor's study is sleet, and he is his last hour of concentration and consacration for the morning service. I turn my steps toward the auditorium proper, to claim my seat ere it is taken one of the many eager worshipers that are building through intense heat at the early hour of 10:00 o'clock this Sunday STUDENTS Sell Race Pride Hosiery to your friend.

Charleston St. Paint East, Nagsboro 4154 The months passed into another year and it was Springtime again. The firm of Sherwood and Craig was busy engaged in legal affairs, but Lyle managed to neglect much of his work in his mad quest for Gwendolyn. They were seen together quite often during the social season, and her society was speculating upon what the outcome would be. One night, at an especially arranged dinner at the Burton household for a few invited guests, Wendolyn announced her engagement to Lyle. The wedding was set to be the lime of the social season, terminating with a honeymoon to be spent in Australia. Lyle was very happy over the outcome. He thought he had won a great struggle. He had practically preached his portion for a time in order to win Gwendolyn's love. Now he was satisfied. Mr. Burton promised him the capacity as chief counselor for his corporation; this was his reward for his excellent service rendered, and Mr. Burton's gratification for his work. Lyle had made vast strides in the business world during the four years of his work. He gained the highest pinnacle of success in his field. Now he had won Gwendolyn's hand and was about to marry her; also he had wealth and position within his gasp. This was the greatest event of his life, and he experienced difficulty in concealing his jubilant mood. It was late in the afternoon before Lyle returned to his spacious quarters in the club. Being just three days before his wedding, he was putting in long hours at his office preparatory, to concluding his practice for the summer months. He had not been in his room but a short time, when he received a mysterious message to come to a suburban residence on the fashionable Riverside Drive. The caller did not state the name or the purpose for which he was needed, but that he should come immediately. Believing it to be one of his clients, he hastily set out to his car and hurried to the adders. Upon arriving at the place he was admitted entrance by an elderly lady who bore all symptoms of once having been quite attractive in her younger days. Her hair was of mixed grey; she was gross of statue, and her complexion was dark brown. She appeared to be laboring under a burden but was trying to bear it without complaint. She knew Lyle immediately, and he, though somewhat slowly, recognized her. She was a former resident of his home town, but he had not seen her since he was a small boy as she had moved away before he attained manhood. "Why Lyle Craig! How are you." "Mrs. Beckwith! When did you arrive?" he remarked, surprised upon seeing her presence. "We that is Phyllis and I. have been here for a week, and we just recently learned of your address. Phyllis is ill you know." "Why what is the trouble with her?" Phyllis has been bed-ridden for two years due to a serious heart affliction. Our physician has given her only a short time to live." Phyllis and Lyle had been childhood sweethearts, but although they had not seen each other since they were children had carried on an uninterrupted correspondence until three years previous to this meeting. Lyle had changed his residence and had failed to notify her of the change, and her letters were returned. Later he tried to resume correspondence with her, but she refused to accept his letters, and he ceased. They had been residing in a small city in California. "May I see her?" he asked. "Certainly! Phyllis will be very surprised to see you." Mrs. Beckwith led him into a bright room, pretty decorated with various colored shades and drapery. In the far corner of the room lying upon a couch was Phyllis. She appeared to be exceedingly beautiful although she had undergone months of helpless confinement. Her face, although looking haggard, showed no signs of worry or pain. When Lyle entered she greeted him cheerfully, although she had not seen him for twelve years and she was now twenty-five. Lyle went quickly to her. He evidenced a glimmering recollection of her features when he had last seen her, and his expression was one of enthusiasm. "Lyle! I can hardly believe it's you. You have changed so much since I know you so well. You changed somewhat yourself. Phyllis. I am sorry to learn that you have been indoposed so long." Tears came into her eyes when he mentioned these words yet they were MAGAZINE SECTION because she was happy. "I have heard of your prosperity as a lawyer," she said. It tells me with happiness for I never dreamed that you would become one." He looked at her laughingly. "Just a sudden fancy that I took—but I like it very much." They conversed long and enthusiastically, telling each other of their experiences during their long separation. Now and then Mrs. Beckwith joined in, but gave no intimation that her mind was very much troubled. "Well, I must be leaving!" spoke up Lyle suddenly. "I have a dinner appointment with a friend, but I'll return again tomorrow." "Must you be leaving so soon?" Phyllis pleaded. "I must!" he nodded his head. She raised her face and he kissed her lightly. Tears blushed forth again into her eyes as she remembered of their childhood days spent together in their old home town. Mrs. Beckwith led im into the lounge room and closed the door leading into Phyllis' room. She asked Lyle to remain a few minutes longer, and learning that he could immediately told him their true mission to the city. "Lyle" she said, "Perhaps you are not aware that our coming to this city was to see you purposely. You know Phyllis has always regarded you as something more than a mere friend in fact she loves you. Her physician has told her she had but a short time to live, and her prevailing wish is that you to be united in marriage before she dies, and thus fulfil her childhood dreams. True she has not corresponded with you for sometime but you have always been uppermost in her thoughts, and as a final request she eagerly hopes that her fancy will be realized. "When we learned where you were living we came immediately, but due to the length of the trip desired to allow Phyllis some rest before calling you. Will you fulfil her ambition?" Lyme was very much amazed upon learning this story. His mind was far away and his thoughts perturbed. Mrs. Beckwith's effusive words pierced him like a rapier. He tried to evade her gaze but could not. He then told her about his engagement to Gwendolyn and his wedding day which was three days away. "Surely you can't refuse her dying request," spoke up Mrs. Beckwith. "Imagine yourself in her position." "I...I can't answer that now," was all he could say. "I'll have to seriously consider it, and give my decision tomorrow." Mrs. Beckwith seemed somewhat relieved and readily acquiesced to his expression desire to withdraw. Returning immediately to his club he jerry, and found him in the grill room anxiously awaiting him. Evading Jerry's queries concerning his long delay, he immediately told him about Phyllis and his decision he would have to make by the following day. Jerry was always in time of need, but he desired to let Lyle decide this problem. He tried to urge Lyle to eat and console his thoughts, but did not succeed. Lyle paced back and forth in the room like a capadep. Jerry, after much coaxing, enticed him to his room and to bed. But there was no sleep for Lyle. He turned restlessly in his bed and often switched on the light to see the clock. This was a trial he knew that could not be determined by adjudication, and would take more than his shrewdness and cleverness in deciding. Toward morning he managed to gain a little sleep, but upon mornings first rays of sunshine entering his room he immediately awakened. Getting up and dressing quickly, he went down to the dining room and hurriedly gulped a cup of coffee. Then he sped out to his car for a spin out into the country, and make a nervous attempt to decide this great question. It was a beautiful morning of late Spring; just two days before the wedding of Lyle and Gwendolyn. The birds were filtering about and singing gaily. Every thing was clinged in Nature's greenness, and through this panorama Lyle drove. When he reached the open country he stopped to gaze upon the broad sweep of landscape, the caressing radiance of the bright sun, and the wonderful contribution of Nature. Further on, a winding tiver made its way, coursing between rows of tall elm and hiden trees. Indeed it was a privilege for anyone to be living in a world so beautiful. But Lyle saw nothing—he heard less. Mrs. Beckwith's sardonic words pressed too heavily upon his mind. Overwhelmed, his heart throbbing loudly, he sat down at the foot of the river bank and began to think, "Why did God permit this sinister shadow to be cast over my life? I don't love Phyllis—I held only a boy, boyhood affection toward her, but that passed before I reached mahood. "Yet I feel a tenderness for her especially during her illness. But there in Gwendolyn—fame—success (in my sacrifice) here—Would she me E. G. TIDRINGTON, FRATERNAL LEADER MEETS DEATH AT HANDS OF POLITICAL FOE MURDER IS SPARK TO EMOTIONS OF FRIENDS AND ENEMIES HE MADE AS POLITICAL BOSS IN HOME TOWN "cerstand?" "All these things raced through his mind in dynamic precision. In that short space of time he seemed to have aged ten years, and his face plainly showed the intense mental distraction he had undergone. "Suppose I should marry her, and she lived contrary to the expectation of her physician. Would I have to live with her? Bosh! Impossible! I can't." At length Lyle came to a decision. He determined to tell Phyllis that he would have to refuse her request. He would do anything for her, but could not marry her. "I am entitled to my happiness also," he repeated. I have my life to live. I have struggled for fame, glory success and Gwendolyn; they are in my gasp; I can't. I can't!" Now that he reached a determinat, ion, Lyle hurriedly drove back to the club and to telephone Mrs. Beckwith of his decision. Upon his arrival at the club, he was summoned to the 'phone. Taking down the receiver he heard Mrs. Beckwith sob in despair: "I like my baw. Phyllis—has—just— On the afternoon of June, the twenty-third, the wedding of Lyle and Gwendolyn was to be solemnized. The day was at hand and except for a few invited guests of the family the wedding was otherwise to be private. Lyle showed no trace of his mental perturbation which he had experienced two days previous. He appeared very happy, but he felt certain his future would not be as felicitous as he had often hoped, after that occasion. Success, ano in time he visioned the past would be forgotten. The morning was young, so he desired to telephone his fiance. "Hello! Is this Kenwood 3336—the Burton residence?" This is Lyle Craig speaking, please call Miss Burton to the wire. "I am sorry to inform you, sir," said the voice on the other end of the wire," Miss Burton eloped early this morning with the chauffeur." THE END (By: A. N. P.) Evansville, Ind, Jan, 28—In every section of Evansville, it became known Wednesday night by nine o'clock that the last dictum from the mouth of Ernest G. Tidrington, fraternal, church, and political leader, had been issued and that his powerful influence wielded in his city, state, and nation to create an impressive hosts of friends and enemies, had been caged and quieted by a shotgun blast exploded from a weapon in the hands of Luther Bell, political opponent of Tidrington. The murder took place at Lincoln and Governor streets. Tidrington sat in his limousine, awaiting Mrs. Tidrington who had gone into a drug store on the corner to purchase some stamps. Mrs. Tidrington made her purchase, and had just placed her hand on the knob of the door of the car, when the noise of the shotgun discharge, fired through the rear window by Bell, was heard, and Tidrington slumped at the wheel with half the back of his head blown off. A crowd gathered quickly and the injured man was removed to a rear seat of the car to be taken to the hospital, but within ten minutes, there was no more of life within him, and, within an hour, thousands of persons in the city who knew him were being stunned by the knowledge of his tragic end. As the car bore the slain boss to the hospital, Bell walked from his poolroom, a half block from the corner, and surrendered himself to a colored policeman. He admitted the crime and complained that he had shot Tidrington because the latter, as political caar of the colored section of Evansville, known as Baptisttown, had oppressed him. (By: A. N. P.)

Nevertheless, Tidrington, who at the time of his death was the same age of his slayer, 47, had lived a remarkable life. Politics had been the central core around which it was built, but he had worked shrewdly to advance himself from his first position as a janitor twenty-five years ago to his place as a political overlord and an important place in the dignified councils of fraternal orders. He had been successively a school janitor, a deputy sheriff, a rod man in the city engineering department, a clerk in the congressional library at Washington, a post office clerk in St. Louis, a city detective, and an assistant custodian and engineer of state property under Gov. Goodrich. In 1921 he applied for admittance to the Vanderburgh County bar, and his case was referred to a committee. When the committee failed to report Tidrington to the bar, the bar association then appealed the matter and his relation to the state supreme court where his admittance was upheld. But there was always a feeling among Tidrington's enemies that he had put another one over. His most important fraternal connections were with the Knights of Pythia. He was Vice-Supreme Chancellor of the order and grand chancellor of the Indiana jurisdiction. As Vice-Supreme Chancellor he was the head of the women's contingent of the order. He was a thorough administration man, working faithfully with the Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Green, in all matters. For six years Tidrington had been in charge of the Indiana State Republican Colored Division, although locally, he had played Republican and Democratic politics. In 1925 he served on an inter-racial commission of six men appointed by President Coolidge, and since the election of Hoover, his friends had urged his appointment as registrar of the treasury. Bell the slayer although operating a pool room, was known as a man of good character and public spirit. His family is one of the oldest in BY: WILLIAM PICKENS (Far The Associated Negro Press) Of course, nobody in his right mind, and knowing the people of this country, will pretend to say that a Negro cadet at West Point would be treated by everybody there with courtesy or consideration or kindness. But what is the sarlyty use of insisting that the black boy, Parham, did not get a square deal in his studies and from his superiors, when he himself says he was "fairly treated in every way." I think colored people make a mistake when they conjure up wrongs that do not exist; there are plenty of ex- cellent people, their plenty of their feelings on us. We do not need to add any ghosts to the awful realities of daily life in America. Besides, it is tactically bad; if we make other colored boys think that West Point and white people in general are "impossible," the very boys who are ambitious and best fitted to go there, will be unwilling to attempt it. We will make it; hard work for Congressman DePriest to carry through his program of getting worthy representatives both in the Military and in the Naval Academies. While I would not have the young Negro misled by illusions respecting conditions in America, while I would not have them fooled by those benevolent lords who pretend that there is no such thing in this country as a handicap of color.—still I would not add to the truth false statements that tend further to discourage them, if not absolutely to prevent them, from making the noble endeavor. It is a terrible mistake to magnify the difficulties; perhaps a more serious mistake, in such cases as this, than a bit of minimizing of the difficulty. But we are not trying to do either; a colored boy in West Point or in Annapolis will find that he has to do a bit better than the white boys; in every activity, just as is true also at Yale and Harvard. He will have to be a bit more deserving in order to get the same opportunities. But that is exactly what Negroes have to do all over the earth—and all through human history. And if a colored boy goes through West Point successfully, he will still have to deliver a bit more if he gets up in the army—and may not then get all that unbiased judgment things he should have. If any Negro boy is going to succeed in all this, he must have the courage—and the tact—of the Late Colonel Charles Young. We know that white sentiment inside a military school in America will not be absolutely different from white sentiment; outside that school. But we will risk the assertion that the picked men at West Point are several points more decent and sportsmanlike than are the unpicked members of the Navy, the Navy fat and Harvard are both sections of America, but not plain cross-sections. They are selected portions; they are much above the average Sixty-three white boys failed; one colored boy failed. In an uninfluenced letter to a friend, the colored boy says: "I was fairly treated in every way. I will try the examination in March. The Commandant of Cadets was very much pleased to know that I would try it." We will let it stand at that—and look forward. Evansville and he was a leader in directing its efforts for the improvement of his race in the city. He is the chairman of the Bochne Hospital committee of the Tuberculosis Association. After the shooting he stated that Tidrington, ever since the last mayoralty election, had threatened to "get him." He claimed that on the first of the month Tidrington had police raid his pool room and the police ordered him to close the pool room. Bell said he couldn't get a license to operate the pool room and that Tidrington was back of it because he (Bell) had opposed the election of the present mayor. New York, January 28—That Harlemites are exploited, even by the larger chain stores, is evinced by two complaints which have recently been lodged against one of the most reliable chains operating in the community. Two different persons, living in different houses, have serious complaints against this house. One, a young matron, residing in a new apartment house, went to the store to purchase a chicken. Having the fowl cut up for use, she took it home and after washing it, noted a peculiar odor arising from the purchase. Immediately, she took it home and refused to refuse to make any refund. The young woman was indignant and on walking out of the store, entered another store near by to ask an opinion of the keeper of the store, as to whether she should be the keeper agreed with her that the chicken was stale and that she should get a refund on her purchase. Standing in the same store was a young man, recently moved to New York, he heard the story, he stepped up to the young woman and said: "Excuse me, madame, but you bought that chicken over At Me X's store, didn't you?" When the woman told him yes, he said: "I thought so. The day before Christmas Eve, I bought a turkey at the same store. My wife put it in the oven and cooked it Christmas Day and when we took it to the table to carve it, the meat was black. We couldn't eat the turkey and had to scramble around for something else to eat. The next day, I took the turkey back to the store, and after an argument made the manager accept it. But he didn't give me back my money, oh no. I had to wait three weeks to get the matter 'adjusted' as he said, and then, I was forced to accept another piece of meat instead of my money. I wasn't too glad to do this, because I was afraid the meat would be bac, too. But now, I tell all my friends to stay away from that store; it isn't safe to purchase there." Another instance was revealed in the purchase of pork products from a store lower down in Harlem. A young man, in a hurry going home from work, stopped in this store to purchase meat, selecting a slice of ham and a half pound of scrape. When he got home, he noticed that the ham had a purplish tinge and that the scrape was putrid. Immediately he took the purchases back to the store and had an argument with the manager before the goods were exchanged and the money refunded. The advent of the C. M. A. stores is creating a wholesome respect from the other stores in the neighborhood. In one instance, a great nation-wide chain offered a staple coffee which had been retailing at from forty-five to forty-nine cents a pound, on a sale at thirty-nine cents, a reduction of ten cents. Butter was widely advertised at thirty-nine cents a pound a reduction from forty-seven cents. The difference in pennies on each sale amounts to an enormous sum when it is considered that fully fifty stores of this firm are in operation in Harlem alone. The slashing of prices on these commodities continues and eventually, Harlem will be able to get at the rock bottom price with standard purchases. But the situation in the meat stores, especially the pork markets of which there is a preponderance in Harlem, demands an investigation by both city and Federal authorities. Most of these places seek colored patronage by employing colored help, but where their products are spoiled, the fact that colored help is engaged is a binderance rather than a help. Four More New York Grocers Join Chain (By: A. N. P.) New York, January 28—Four more colored grocers in Harlem have joined the C. M. A. stores here successfully organized by A. L. Holsey. By degrees the advantage of the merchants buying co-operatively is drawing on those who at first did not take the movement seriously. Negotiations are under way to buy from packers in carload lots. One of the most helpful and practical talks members of the association have listened to since the local organization was formed, was made at a regular meeting by M. J. Moran, sales manager of the Wishburn Crosby Manufacturing Company. = =
