1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 SCHOOL CHILD KILLED BY AUTO - ON THE SIDEWALK - By C. A. B. IT IS REPORTED that six million American women and one hundred eighty thousand Japanese are in London at this time lifting their voices before the Naval conference in behalf of permanent peace. While these American women are in London with women of other nations asking for world peace, chaos reigns at home. There can be no lasting peace so long as this country permits lynching, and burning at the stake of human beings as was the case last week when Jimmy Irwin, a Negro of Ocilla, Georgia, accused of killing a fourteen year old white girl was beaten to death and his body burned. For a little more than twenty years the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been busy on such cases as this, bringing to light corroborative evidence showing that in two out of every case such as this of Jimmy frvin were not guilty of the charges carried in glaring headlines in the metropolitan newspapers of the country; but instead of some trivial matter of a wage settlement or the like. In the World War when the Negro of this country, after having faced the insult, "You are not needed here, this is a white man's war," donned the uniform and went to the front with the secret belief burning in his bosom that, if I fight like a demon and help win victory for my country, I believe that when I return I shall be treated like a man and a citizen. But what happened? In this same state where Jimmy Irwin paid the terrible price or lynch law fate, the Negro World War veteran was invited out of his uniform, stained with blood from the battlefields of Europe where he risked his life for American safety, and told, "You cannot wear these here." And so we say that with such facts as these staring us in the face there can be no permanent peace until thirteen million Negres shall have been liberated from lynch law rule. The Negro Must Do His Part Along with freedom from the lynch law, the Negro of his own initiative must free himself from economic slavery. So long as he depends upon the mercy of his white brother for the means to the end of his existence just so long will he take the buzzard while the white man feasts on the turkey. Just now the political pot in the State is beginning to boil and the political loud-speakers are beginning to be excited. They are rolling back their sleeves for a battle, not with the real enemy but with each other. This sort of thing is not what we need. Let all of the political factions come together in big understanding mass meeting and as far as possible settle our difference; concentrate on one man to head the ship of state in California, who will realize that a Black taxpayer is as much entitled to some recognition as a white one. If you are unable to land what you want don't let this sour you on the other brother who is in line for consideration, instead get behind his cause and push him up; fr it is the inevitable; that if your Black brother climbs successfully to the top, he will lift you a little higher than you were when he started, and each step upward be speaks greater economic freedom for the entire race. Race Prejudice is not the subject of our theme ever, but we are constantly on the battle front with an everlasting determination to break down the walls of race discrimination. And along this line we argue that one of our first and best battles of defence is keeping some of our dollars in the roll circle. Destroy within your own mind that it is impossible for Negroes to operate a grocery on the same business principle that white men operate—and make it the pride of your life to see the growth and development of a grocery business operated by Negroes on this Western Coast that will equal the Safeway System—and then on with the spirit of co-operative business in other lines by Negroes. A NEW RACIAL integrity bill has been introduced in the Senate of Virginia. It defines that any person with a drop of Negro blood shall be classed, "A colored person," which means that a 99.9 per cent white person will be considered colored. Well, if this bill is put into vogue before the census taking is completed in Virginia, there will certainly be a big increase in the colored population and it may be that because of Virginia's generosity, other southern states will take the hint and do likewise, hence the colored population will be increased to such a proportion that the Negro vote will be in the ascendency; and out of what was intended as a measure of destruction, after all will be the medium through which he will be redeemed politically. (Continued From Page. One) Lincoln Day Banquet To Be Grand Affair Lincoln's Birthday will be celebrated by a hug ebanquet given by the Eastside Co-Operatice Improvement Association and its associate units at Social Hall of Second Baptist Church. The unique arrangement coupled with the large expenditure of time and money assures all patrons of the affair an opportunity never before offered to our group. Professionals in Art, Music and other lines have been months in preparation for the entertainment from beginning to end in order that the Los Angeles Negross will receive the type of entertainment that they have long wished for. There will also be among other different features of the banquet, addresses from some of our leading public officials among them being Co. Eric Fowler, Roy Stechel, Judge Carlos Hardy, Atty. Willis O. Tyler, who will give the principal address. The Lincoln Day Banquet will be given on the evening of Feb. 12, in the Social Hall of the Second Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith Ave. Invitations are out and it is earnestly requested by the organization through its president, Mrs. Clara C Hulbert, that those desiring reservations please make them through Mrs. George Beavers, Humbolt 8111 J or Mrs. J. M. Edwards, Atlantic 0608 Please do this at once. Final arrangements are now being made. REAL PROGRESS IS MADE ONLY THRU MUTUAL DEPENDENCE [EDITOR'S NOTE: We call attention to the articles upon the subject of economics and co-operation now running in these columns. They are from the pen of Mentis Carriere, eminent Paint Chemist and who is manager of the Pyramid Co-Operative Store, located at Adams and Central Avenue. This paper is greatly concerned in this question and from so qualified a person as Mr. Carriere we feel, though you might not agree with him in toto, that it will set the people thinking and when we can get them to do that we are on our way to get somewhere.] By MENTIS CARRERE As civilization progresses mankind becomes more and more dependent upon one another for the things they consume. Not very many years ago the family unit was the center of activities. Families were independent of one another for most of their necessities. When the head of the house failed to make provision for light, heat, water, etc., no one suffered but his immediate family. The next door neighbor was not affected and, possibly, not bothered. But today every city and hamlet has a network of wires and pipe lines for the purpose of illuminating, heating, and watering our homes. When something goes wrong at one of the power stations or reservoirs in a whole section of the city is affected. While these modern conveniences have contributed to the welfare of mankind they have also forced men to co-operate with one another for the common good of all. With these accommodations men have become more mutually dependent. More dependent and yet more free. When is mankind least dependent? When they want least, have least, care least, and are least. Mankind are more dependent with the betterment of every human condition, when they have more, care more, and are more than hewers of wood and drawers of water. Where two or more races live within in the same geographical borders, under the same government, and all of those races have learned the lesson of co-operating first within their own respective ranks, there is more or less civic and social equality among them. But where one or those races so situated, fails to see the necessity for developing its own economic strength which is its only source of wealth and power, that race is forced to use its necks as economic door mats for cooperating races to wipe their feet as they enter the house of opportunity and commercial progress. The backs of the race that refuses to co-operate with itself are used to bear burdens not their own. We find in the United States a race of people, some black, some white, some brown, and other colors, known as American Negroes. This race has LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1930 Sheffield Found Guilty Atty. W. O. Tyler's Sister in Auto Accident Near Bakersfield News reached here Monday of the near fatal accident to Mrs. Drisdon who is a sister of our prominent and able barrister, W. O. Tyler of this city. With a party of friends Mrs. Drisdon had motored to Shafter, a nearby town to Bakersfield and on the return trip, the driver of the car in which Mrs. Drisdon was riding in his end-avior to keep from having a head on collision, went over an embankment when the car turned over several times. While all of the occupants received severe injuries, Mrs. Drisdon was the hardest hit, several ribs were fractured as well as her limbs and severe cuts and bruises. Her daughter Mrs. Heilen Wheeler Riddle also of this city hastened to her mother's bedside and her brother will leave today for Bakersfield. Mayor Porter Will Speak at Beth Eden Bapt. Church, Sun., 3 P. M. The 9th of February throughout the Country will be observed as Inter-Racial Day. The officers of Beth Eden Baptist Church are pleased to announce as the principal speaker on its program, Hon. John C. Porter, Mayor of Los Angeles. A supporting program consisting of the big Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena and Special number by Mrs. A. C. Billbrew. Short addresses by Assenblyman F. E. M. Roberts and Dr. W. D.

Instead this race has made repeated efforts to grow strong with other races and has tried to become recognized by them, ignoring the necessity first to develop its economic strength and possibilities. If the Negro race would make progress in this great age of material prosperity it must begin now to develop commercial activities that will serve the needs of future generations. This cannot be done by the individual Negro business man. Combines are too powerful for the individual Negro business to compete with. Neither can racial progress be made by relying upon philanthropy, white Christians, and public officials. Even if racial progress could be made through such channels are we silly enough to believe that such agencies, representing as they do, the exploiters of the world, are going to lift as the exploited of the universe, to their economic, social, and political level? The Negro race will make progress when, and not before, the masses of us concentrate our mites in co-operative business in a real effort to improve our economic condition. However, putting a few dollars by the masses in business will never get us anywhere unless that investment is followed up with material support by every member concerned. The white man has set an economic pace for the world that the Negro must follow if the race hopes to survive. Negroes cannot follow the white man's economic pace unless the masses of us become interested in a system of control of what we consume. The race must recognize the value or its consumption and the power its wields. Negroes however, will never become interested in the control of what they consume and they will never realize the value and pow (Continued On Page Four) WASHINGTON AND DUNN ACOUITTED So says a jury of his peers which has sat in Judge Emmet Wilson's Court for more than two weeks and heard the evidence, arguments, etc., by counsel for the people and defense as well as the instructions of the court. The other two defendants, officers, Roseeoe Washington and Richard Dunn who were tried jointly with Sheffield were adjudged not guilty and turned loose. Sheffield was convicted of having taken $100 and $25 in bribes for "protection money" from Sebe Hendricks, confessed bootlegger. He was ordered to appear in court Monday for sentence, however, it is certain that his attorney, Judge Thomas P. White, will motion for a new trial, which will automatically stay the sentence until such time as Judge Wilson passes upon such motion. Sheffield was remanded to the County Jail, pending sentence and other legal procedure. If a new trial is denied he has the recourse of appeal, or will go on to San Quentin to serve the term which is provided by law, said to be from one to five years on each count. This case has attracted a deal of attention from all classes and sensational evidence, was unfolled throughout the two weeks of taking evidence. The big dailies gave it only preliminary mention, with the exception of the Daily Record, which featured the hearing in every issue. The evidence was what is called dynamic and nobody could tell what would come next. The higher-ups were doubtless on the anxious seat throughout the hearing and perhaps are not feeling any too secure up to this moment. They are not so sure that the convicted one will continue to carry the cross alone. Attorney Thomas P. White in his argument to the jury excoriated all people who live on Central Avenue and declared everyone would be in ectacles of joy should the jury bring in a verdict of guilty. The prosecution launched its heavy artillery on Sheffield and virtually asked the jury to free the other two defendants. The people were represented by E. J. Dennison and E. J. McCay, while Attorney Thomas P. White, Wm. Christinson and E. S. Crop appeared for the defendants. Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters Disposes of City Property at Bakersfield Mrs. Pearl Lowry Winters, noted singer, who was reared in this city, and who is the widow of the late E. W. Winters who was a prominent business man and churchman of Bakersfield, sold this week a corner in the heart of the city for a price reported at $72,000.00. Mrs. Winters still has valuable holdings in the same town consisting of a palatial home, a valuable 80-acre ranch and other property. She also holds the City Contract for hauling the garbage. Business experts declare Mrs. Winters has proved herself quite an adept in business and has managed the estate of her departed husband with consummate skill and wisdom. SINGS FOR CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 4—The Trouveres, the only Negro organization of Chamber Music in Failadelphia, presented Arthur Nicholls, tenor, in their second recital in the Ninth Year of Chamber Music, to an enraptured audience of guest subscribers at the Elks Auditorium, 16th and Fitzwater street, Sunday afternoon. The program was sponsored by the Rho Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alfraternity Faithful Employee Los Angeles County Assessor's Office Americans are very proud of the charming Miss Pansy Harper attached to the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor's office as a stenographer. She is an American of Negro decent and has held this position for two years. She has been adjudged par excellent in the performance of her duties, and her capabilities and natural aptitude as well as her efficiency, character and personality are generally recognized by her contemporaries and also by those heading the assessor's office as such that automatically merit untold recognition. Miss Harper, who has been in our midst for quite some time, is originally from Weatherford, Texas, where she completed her elementary course and then, fortunate for the extreme western coast, Miss Harper's advent to California was sponsored by her MARY MAY MISS PANSY HARPER parents who decided to settle in San Diego where this charming Miss attended and graduated from the San Diego High school. After which she completed a course at the Kelsey Jenny Business College also in San Diego. Having thus prepared herself, she took a civil service examination for stenographer for the United States Steamboat Inspection Service in which she emerged victorious, receiving an appointment for over seven months at San Pedro. She resigned this position with the government at the expiration of this time to accept a position with the State Agricultural Department with offices in San Diego. She retained this position for sometime only resigning to accept a position with the Los Angeles Urban League tentative to her present civil service position which she has and is so creditably filling. Miss Harper is well known and is quite popular socially. She is a prominent member of Historic Eighth and Towne A. M. E. church where she lends her musicic contralto voice to the harmonic strains of the variated activities and repertoire of the choir. She has also displayed marked oratorical ability from time to time and plans to broaden her sphere of functioning by assuming social service duties. Benj. Bowie Pistol Team The newly organized Benjamin J. Bowie pistol team under the direction of Vodrey Henry and Jesse Kimbrough have begun weekly Sunday morning practice at the police pistol range in Elysian Park. It is hoped to have the team in shape to compete against other post teams at the State convention meeting in August. The team assembles every Sunday morning at 9:30 at post headquarters and proceeds in a body to the pistol range. The following members with instructors Henry and Kimbrough attended practice on last Sunday morning, Joe Hardeman, Edward Hawkins, Everette V. Roberts, James E. Palmer, John Holliday, E. A. Adams, Arthur C. Cole and A. B. Carr. Churches Unite For Welfare of Community A REFLECTION WELL EQUIPPED HOSPITAL AND CLINIC MADE POSSIBLE BY CO-OPERATION OF CHURCHES The weekly reports are beginning to come in from the church captains working in the $5,000 Donation Campaign of the Community Hospital Association as the first work of the Campaign ends. NOT WORKING FOR PRIZE "I am not working for the prize," announces Mrs. A. C. Bibrow, captain in Phillips Chapel C. M. E. Church, 42nd and Wadsworth," but any captain regardless of her church who wins in this campaign will have to make her mark very high, for I mean to put every atom of energy that I possess into the effort to put Phillips Chapel over the top. Remember that white satin banner waves over Phillips Chapel, March 15th." A LITTLE TOO HIGH FOR HER "An airplane ride is a little too high for me," says Mrs. Mabel V. Gray, captain in New Hope Baptist Church," but $500.00 is not and any church which thinks that it can win that white satin banner and raise less than $500.00 is mistaken for $500.00 is our goal and New Hope wins her mark every time." WORTHINESS OF CAUSE FORCES HER TO ENTER "I thought that I was so busy that I could not take on another thing," said Mrs. William Leftridge of 8th and Towne Ave. Church, but the idea of helping to make possible a first class well-equipped Community Hospital for our race seemed too worthy a cause to turn down and here I am working heart and soul to pilot old 8th and Towne over the top. Fellow members, come to my aid. Let's work not for a prize but for a Hospital for Los Angeles." PROUD THAT SHE HAS SEEN THIS DAY "I am so glad to see this wonderful move on foot to establish a first class Community Hospital and Clinic manned by our race in Los Angeles that I must get behind it and support it," say Mrs. Eva O. Solomon, captain in Second Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith Ave. Our church is heavily burdened at this time but we must do our part for humanity. Don't think that $500.00 will win this contest; Second Baptist will beat you if you do." NOW OR NEVER "Now is the time for the colored man in Los Angeles to prove that he can put over a united effort." says Mrs. James C. Banks, captain in Pico and Paloma A. M. E. Church. A Community Hospital is something that we need. Let's have one. Pico and Paloma must raise the most money in this campaign because she is the proudest of her race for undertaking such a worthy project. Watch her go over the top!" A PLACE FOR OUR BOYS AND GIRLS "We are behind this move," says Wesley Chapel, 8th and San Julian, "because a Community Hospital and Clinic will take care of our sick and provide employment for our own boys and girls are boosting this wonderful undertaking and we are going over the top. Look out for us!" ALL OF US TOGETHER CAN PUT THIS OVER. "If, the whole colored population of Los Angeles gets behind this move it will go over and go over big," says Independent Church." The churches are an integral part of the community. They must do their part. We in Independent are doing ours. We are working for this cause because we know that it is right and right cannot lose." Independent is going over the top for the Community Hospital and Clinic. SLOW BUT SURE "Not so fast," says Mrs. Amy R. Temple, captain of the Adventist Church, 37th and Wadsworth. "We Adventists are slow but sure; we have come into this campaign late, but don't let that feel you. Our numbers are not large but our enthusiasm is great and we want to see a Community Hospital in Los Angeles. How ever wanting won't get you anywhere but work will. We are working and we are going over the top. No. 35 Yesterday (Tuesday) at 3:15 o'clock a tragedy was enacted at the corner of 49th and McKinley streets, when a white man named Taylor, driving a high powered Chandler Sedan ran down and killed instantly, Walter Hawkins, Jr., colored. The accident happened right in the school zone when Taylor was driving at the rate of 25 to 30 miles per hour. Taylor was held by the police and the child was taken to the morgue until the coroner's inquest. Little Walter, Jr., was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins who reside at 898 East 48th Place. He was one of three children of this couple, the others are girls, Gloria and Doris, aged 5 1-2 years and 7 years respectively. RALLY TO THE COLORS --- REGISTER, VOTE AND BE A REAL CITIZEN There are no barriers in the way of being a fullfledged citizen in California. However you will be lacking in every element if you fail to register and vote. With a most important election coming up, it is the duty of every man and women who can qualify to register and then go forth when election day comes and play your full part as a citizen by voting for the men and measures which in your opinion will serve you best. We say again, do not fail to register and vote. POLITICAL POT PIE Billy Greenwood, real all around good citizen and a friend to everybody has been mentioned as a likely candidate for Supervisor. What we want to say is this, if Billy decides to run, a mighty good man will be running and the man who beats him will know he has been in a race. Put us down for Billy if he runs. It is reported that many lightening rods are up at this moment looking for lightening to strike from the political plum tree of the state administration. Just as long as any holder of public office refuses to recognize all classes of their constituency, just so long will we continue to demand it. Riley headquarters are very busy indeed as the friends of Ray Riley get ready for an intensive campaign. Mrs. Clara Hulbert with the Eastside improvement club seems to have the edge on political activity at this moment. For Judge look long and well, there are some of them who are ready for the ax. Look up their records please. Our genial County Assessor, A. J. Hopkins never has a worry in a political campaign. We have no patience in the whining of a bunch of soreheads after a man has won a fair and square race. For that reason we are stringing with Councilman Sanborn. Congressman Joe Crail, who is one of the nation's outstanding statesmen, was in the city for a few days this week, returned to Washington this day. Pioneer Citizen Passes! S. W. Brumfield, prominent and pioneer citizen passed away at his home on last Saturday after a short illness from an attack of acute indigestion. Mr. Blumfield was a prominent member of the Eighth and Towne Avenue church from which piece funeral services were conducted on last Tuesday. SMALL BUT MIGHTY "We are small but mighty" says Mrs. Bessie Strange, Congregationalist Church, Vernon near Hooper, "I am asking every member of our church to become a Lieutenant and begging him to go forth and win for this worthy cause. To provide medical care for widows, orphans and sick men without work is a wonderful service and we want to have a part in it."

But foremost in the mind of sole owner and promoter, Mr. Leo V. Newman, and his matchmaker, Joe (Pop) Barrett, is the great action to be furnished in the thirty rounds of boxing to be offered for the approval of the fans. In making up this and all other future cards, Mr. Newman's one and only thought is to please those that make it possible to build new and modern arenas, and to do that, very thing boys that are known for their willingness to furnish action and their aggressiveness, will be selected to fill the cards before this club, those that are expecting to get work at this club on their past reputations had better stay away, as the cash customers must and will, be first in the mind of the newest promoter. Ritchie King, three time champion of the Newy, and the same boy that holds a knockout over Billy, Townsend, and recently knocked out Wildcat Carter, at the Olympic A. C. will meet Joe Guerrero, who recently beat Tommy Grogan, and won the Mexican lightweight title by beating Johnny Lamar, at the Olympic. The boys are to step over the 10-round route. Since making his comeback under the management of AI Lang, the boys hitting the top spots hereabouts have repeatedly refused to meet King, and as none of them that are now and have been hogging the top lines will have any part of Guerrero's game, it is readily seen that King and Guerrero should furnish the most spectacular bout seen in a local ring for many moons. Guerrero's Sea Turtle part will Groove's Sea Turtle part will King had to journey to Vancouver, B. C. to take Townsend into canny; both principles in Monday's bout being forced to leave town to secure action, owing to the fact that none their weights hereabouts would face them. Mr. Newman's first step toward giving colored boxers a chance to get somewhere in local rings was to match Willie Henry, the colored and most feared man on the Pacific Coast, with Pete Moore, the Rocky Mountain heavyweight champion, in the semifinal bout of six rounds. The fact that Moore recently fought George Manly of Denver, Colo., to a draw and then won over Angus Snyder, it is ample proof that Henry will have his hans full, while Henry's undeaf- HARRY BEAM PUTS THE SKIDS UNDER WALLY FRASER All of the fans went home early last Tuesday night. Knockouts sprinkled the card from beginning to end. And it was one of the best cards of the season. There was action in every bout, with the main bout taking the cake. MACK SCORES Eddie Mack the former St. Regis College boy came out of the Rockies to knoek Joey Sangor the little freckle faced Jew out in five red hot rounds. The fight only went to the half way mark; but there was not a dull minute curing the whole five rounds. Those boys came out, fighting and they fought until Joey was counted out. Mack worked his one-two to a perfection. He threw them so fast it looked as if he was throwing both of ted record of over 50 bouts among them being a knockout over the tough and ragged, Bad News Johnson, and a recent draw with Ernie Owens, which many claimed was an injustice to the colored boxer, makes this match good enough to headline most any club in this section. The winner of this match will likely get a chance to swap punches with Frankie Campbell, the knockout king, as Henry has already signified his willingness to meet Campbell on the winner take-all basis. In the special 6 round bout, Hymie Miller, former amateur featherweight champion of the world, now the pride of the East Side Ghetto, will meet Art Molina, who holds the same esteem among his Mexican friends. In the second four found spot, Boby Reister, who always packed the outlying amateur clubs, where he won the lightweight title, will meet Hymie Redin, who held the amateur title before he turned professional and went under the management of Emmett Ledwid, one year ago. Joe Singer, who won the middle and light, heavyweight amateur titles, will make his first professional start when he faces Sig-Bennett (who left the simon pures one year ago and since has won 15 straight victories) in the opening four round bout. Joe Lillard, the most popular of all handlers of tickets that ever made change, has charge of all tickets for the new club, and he is waiting your order now over the phone, ANgeles 2128. his mits at the same time. That left would sneak out and jerk Joey's head back and by the time it had come back up that right was smack on the hug. ONE EVEN Round one was even. Mack scored with his left and a right now and then. Joey threw some nice left hooks, but the round ended even up. The boys came out with a rush to start the second heat. Joey tried to get to Mack's body with that terrible left hook of his, but Eddie was too smart for that and beat the Jewish kid to the punch. Mack was warned in the 4th to throw his punches a little higher, by Referee Kennedy. The fourth was the beginning of the end for the game little Hebrew. The Rocky Mountain Mexican landed a left and a right to stagger Joey and then caught him with a right flush on the lug to knock him down for a seven count. Joey struggled up and came back fighting. He put on one of the gamenest comebacks ever seen in the Grand Avenue Arba. But nevertheless Mack was too much man for him and they had to lead the game little Jew to his corner at the end of the heat. That fight canto had them standing on their feet hollering like mad. The boys came out mixing it for they were worth. Mack was working that left of his over time and wasn't giving the right any too much rest. Joey was trying to score with his hook to the body when all at once Mack connected with that most effective one-two and that was the fade out. Joey was on his face in the slag, when his brother Lew Sanger threw in the towel to the scrape. A great fighter that Sangor, even in defeat, the kid si game to the core. A GREAT FIGHT Harry Beum, George Blake's fighting fireman came from behind to knock Wally Fraser sky high in the last round of the semi-windup. Fraser had taken five rounds when Harry let him have a terrific right cross to the jaw and they sang the swan song for Fraser. The special event between Freddie Thompson and Willie Fasto was a sweetheart with Thompson taking the nod in six. Patt Cunningham knocked out Gene Mullins in two heats and Jack Stephens stopped Bobby Flores in the first. Baby Joe Gans Finds Thrill in Flattening His Opponents Pacific Coast Fighter, with income of $1,000 a Month, Has Impressive Kayo Record. Sold Papers -with Jackie Field and Mushy Callahan. Would you work if you didn't have Would you work if you didn't have to? Of course you wouldn't! Few of you would, but numbered among these few, one finds the name of Baby Joe Gans, Pacific Coast junior Welterweight, who is about us poison as anything you can get in the drug store. LIKES TO SEE 'EM FALL Gans, namesake of Baltimore's immortal Joe Gans, and in private life, none other than Gerald Shaughter, likes to see him in real prizefighting must be classified as Frankly. Gans likes to work because he likes to see human objects fall. And if you unhaves followed his knockout of Jack (Kid), Bates, here in Baltimore just week, won the 88th one he has scored in 102 fights. But to return to the subject of work, Gans has earned well over $100,000 during his ring conquests and instead of sanguarding his money as so many of his contemporaries do, he has called it away in real estate holdings. Cherokee Tom Cox, his affairing manager is authority for the statement that Gans has a net income of over $1,000 monthly from his real estate holdings, most of them being in Los Angeles, his native city. He has made other investments too, that bring him a net profit. So he really doesn't have to work in order to live well. (Courtsey of Evening Telegram) There was a colored man in the woodpile last night, but Baby Sal Sorio couldn't find him. Clark Anderson was his name and he weaved and bobbed and slid out from under Sal's punches like he had been doing it all his life, in the six-round main event at the Orange Belt athletic club. And when he tired of watching Sal cleave the air, he tossed punches in a most morthodox manner and from the queerest angles, to smother the "mighty" Babe in a rain of leather. SAL IS RIDICULED Fans jeered, hooted and ridiculed Sal. Most of the Mexican gallery hiked out when they found things going against their favorite. Those in the ringside stayed and enjoyed the sight of Sal taking an inglorious licking. Fans had not reason to pick Anderson as their favorite. They generally "pan" such fighters. But last night, apparently, it was the business of taking the lesser of two evils. They picked the Negro. FINDS CUSHION HARD Oh yes, in the rush we almost forgot to state that Baby Sal was handed the occasion on a plush cushion. Eddie Gordon, state boxing commission inspector, filled in as referee when the regular man failed to arrive. He did a fairly good job up to the main event, but he missed that one. It didn't take Eddie long to find out that his decision didn't meet with the fans' approval, as half a dozen cushions came floating down from the gallery. One caught him just above the belt line. MAKES BAD START Frankie. Boldt was awarded a six-round decision over Jimmy Valentine in the semi-windup. Valentine proved game, but a knock-down in the first thin air. When a youngster Gans, along with Mushy Cullahan, Jackie Fields, Jimmy McLarnin, all white and Young Jack Thompson, sold newspapers on the streets of Los Angeles. Little did any of these boys dream at the time of their rough and tumble street fights, that all would be headliners in the world of fistana. Up thru the ranks they have come, and today it is no secret that it is just as hard for Gans to book a fight with any of these white fighters as it is for a legless man to win a waltzing contest. Gans is known as a shock puncher and anyone, who has ever seen him in action will agree with this designation. He has a clever style of mixing his punches and leading with so much decertion, that he lands a blow before his opronent realizes what it is all about. At close range, and from a distance, his punches rock just as hard. Consequently he dight fighters in corps along with Norse dight fighters in corps get a bout, or must fight some mediate race boxer for a much smaller parse. Before entering the boxing game, Gans was an expert iron moulder at a large Los Angeles plant, and as such not only earned high wages, but won the hearts of his employers. Each year the workers have a picnic, and no matter where Gans is, they wire him to "come home." And he usually does. "He's got a lot of loving cups those people gave him," Cherokee Tom confided. "And would you believe it, they gave him a cup as a prize in a dancing contest. Just out of their esteem of his efforts you know." VERY MODEST Part of the year Baby Joe Gans lives in New York and the other part he spends in California. Unassuming and even a little reluctant to talk about himself, he is his manager calls, "a model fighter." And if you should happen to go to New York, you'll be very likely to find him at the Monarch Elks' Home. HOPES FOR BIG SHOT Of course, there's the money side to the fighting business, but Gans likes more than that. He likes to see em fall. Some day, he hopes to get the big shot he deserves, but until then, he'll just keep on flattening the boys they ock for him, he says. round gave him a bad start from which he never recovered. the hitter recovered. Teddy Cobb staged a late rally to get the hand over Pete Cardenas in the six-round special event. Joe Hernandez whipped Solly Seaman in a four-round bout. Danny Arnett was no match for Chalkie Wright, who was given a technical knockout in the first round. Nino Perez won over Danny Arnold in the curtain raiser. BOB-ING ALONG With Bob Walton (Courtesy of Evening Telegram) Shaes of the theory of evolution; hark ye, Mr. Darwin, and other scientific phrases! Clark Anderson, a stumpy, little colored boy who could be a comedian in a third-rate minister show, providing he didn't have to do boxing gloves, put a first-rate finishing touch to a job which Baby Sal Sorio recently started—that of making himself a monkey. Baby Sal furnished the appearance by having his head shaved until it resembled a black billiard ball in more ways than one. Clark Anderson furnished the rest. Sal looked for all the world like a frisky monkey hopping around an elusive peanut. Anderson was the peanut. Anderson dropped the decision to Sal, according to the referee, but the little Negro boy had the satisfaction of knowing that the crowd was thoroughly aware of the fact that he had made a monkey of Baby Sal as no one else ever has done in the Orange Belt, unless it was Al Zimmer, the Ohio southpaw. Speaking of downfalls—Sal's now is complete. He speedily is getting ahead backwards. If they matched Sal according to his recently displayed ability, he might, if he was lucky, rate a curtain raiser against a fighter whose 'talent' corresponds with that boasted by the esteemed Mr. Raymond Regelado. And then Sal would be lucky if he won! But returning to his downfall, fans have had a growing suspicion for some time, that Baby Sal wasn't all that he was claimed to be. Now they have the proof, with the aid of the little dusky boy, Anderson. That few Southland clubs would give Anderson a preliminary fight, is a statement which gives the Negro quite a "break." His head reaches somewhere in the neighborhood of Sal's chin. His reach is a couple of inches shorter. In fact every physical advantage possible was Sal's. Sal is a San Bernardino boy—one who has grown up in the local rings. By all rights, he should have a few friends ready to stick up for him, especially among his own countrymen. Anderson came to San Bernardino an "unknown." Even the record books didn't have him listed, and they generally delve quite a distance into the ranks of the boxers. Everything was against Anderson. Yet he beat Sal, made a monkey of him, caused fans to ridicule him and, in general, gave the one-time highly touted Sorio a thoroughly unpleasant evening. Now consider the extent of the Mexican's downfall. It was complete, to say the least. It would be our guess that Sal is through as a fighter. When a halipint Negro like Anderson, facing all the disadvantages that he did, can walk into Sal's home ring and make a bigger and better monkey, of him than Sorio could by his own hand, then it's high time for the Babe to make his will and begin to enjoy his tortillas and frioles again. We have had the "pleasure" of seeing Sal in some mighty punk exhibitions of the so-called manly art in the Orange Belt ring—thanks to those who control the making of matches. The opposition in past home-town fights has been, to a large extent, setups, with the Babe on the business end of the deal. But last night's fiasco takes the cake—just as Sal would have taken the pie if certain ringgiders had had any on hand. To those who saw the match, their memories stand out better than we ever could explain. To the lucky ones who stayed at home and listened to the radio or obtained their excitement by playing checkers, just imagine a shadow of a diminutive nature dlicking punches—back-hand, over-hand, hooks, jabs, and anything in the books—into an opponent who continually towered over him. And all the while, Sal stood glued to the canvas with his guard up, as though he might have been posing for a painting instead of a pasting, and let leather side part to go "ker-plunk" on his face or body. All this punching made his nose red, but otherwise did no damage.

Soria couldn't hurt him although the famous right flashed time and again. Last night, Sal's Mexican gallery got up and walked out before the fight was over. When the gang refuses to give one of its fellow countrymen a rousing cheer—win, lose or draw—you can figure something is quite putrid. Not so long ago, the large clubs consigned Sal's remains to the "sticks". That was after he fought Hess. Now the "sticks" no longer have any use for him. Sal may as well hang up his gloves.

ELDRIDGE INSTRUCTIONS TO POR TERS OF GREAT BENEFIT If you went to the porter's instruction meeting held in the pullman car in the Southern Pacific Yards all last week; you could have learned something, at least, you had your memory refreshed to many features of the Pullman service that you had become lax in, not intentionally, but through getting in a habit or doing a thing in the easiest way. If you did not go to the meeting you missed as fue a demonstration of Pullman service as will ever be witnessed in this district. These meetings which were so ably conducted by Mr. Eldridge, the recently appointed Pullman instructor, were the means of many new men as well as old, getting a new lease on life as far as better Pullman service is concerned. Only one thing that the writer would like to know, and that is, how in the world can a porter make a bed like the beds Mr. Eldridge had all lined up for us with a top and bottom load. I say, it is next to impossible. The car was not the right type of a car to give a good demonstration, in never the less the meetings were of great benefit to those who attended. We have the instructor gets the cooperation he has asked for. With the first sign of winter on the wane, J. W. Morris has posted his brilliant in the Santa Be sign out office for a call for recruits. I take it that Mr. Morris has alway busy season outlined for his proposed baseball nine. Last year he led his team to victory in many a hard skirmish. He intends doing even better this year. We wish him success in his undertaking. Mr. Morris has the full cooperation of the office is of the Pullman Co. who seem to take great delight in attending the games played in Chicago. Following is the notice posted at the Santa Fe. Beginning Feb. 10th the Chicago East Baseball team will practice in Los Angeles at Jefferson High School Play-grups 33'h and Ascot Streets. Balls, bats, and catchers' outfits can be had at the Dunbar Hotel. The executive staff of the team is as follows, J. S. Morris, Pres., J. T. Yculle, Mgr., J. R. Baycon, Asst., Mgr., J. Culbert, Cant., T. R. Jackson, Sec'y, J. C. Colbins, Treas. H. L. ARMSTRONG OF LOS ANGELES SIGNS WITH CHICAGO TEAM H. L. Armstrong, crack baseball star of former days, has signed up with the Chicago east baseball nine for the training season, at least, it was learned last week. Mr. Armstrong has decided to come out of retirement after a rest of some forty odd years in the national past time. Armstrong is a former star of the Austin Heds, having played left field and general utility man for that crack organization. Armstrong has signed up with the Chicago nine in the hopes of getting some of the creaks out of his limbs. If he finds out that this a possible he will jot his name down in the dotted line for the entire season. A special party who required first class service recently put in a request for Porters R. E. Franklin and E. L. Armand to handle their car. This service was duly rendered by these to efficient porters of this district, and they split the proceeds 50-50. LOS ANGELES DISTRICT TO TAKE ON MANY NEW PORTERS It s thought that between 60 or 70 new porters will be hired by the Pullman Co. in the near future to handle the summer travel out of Los Angeles.

The industrious Pullman Porter who operate the Phoenix line, are now all getting a glimpse of San Diego—the line has been pooled, and it is every tub. Porters N. Young, G. W. Crawford, J. W. Perryman and G. Hamilton seem to be holding their own on the T. B. Lane. I am told that Mr. Ed. Thomas, official mouthpiece and dry weather sheels of the coach cleaners operating in the S. P. Yards, is so overjoyed just before pcy day, that he goes on a food strike, and fasts for three or four days. Ask Louis Gray, he will tell you all about it. Mrs. Wyatt, wife of Mr. Wyatt, 1382 East 17th street, is slowly on the mend at this writing. The Railroad Clatter will keep you informed of the Railroad Dope. A. Williamson, and C. H. Jackson have a birthday in this month. Congratulations. We arrived in Springfield, Mo., at 4:45 p. m., the next day, having traveled 203 miles over the Frisco, a very rough ride indeed. Our advance agents had reported to the boss that from all indications the stars would play to a peeked house, and everyone was in good spirits again, but the money was still tight, in fact so very right that the mind and myself sat up all night, trying to figure a way to get cheaper meals owing to the fact that it was all going out and nothing coming in, we had to start living as cheap as possible if we intended to make the trip pay. Springfield was a home-like little town, and the people all appeared to me as if they would be contented to go on living there forever. Movie stars to them were the same as angels, something to be considered as sacred. We were kept very busy getting the stars ready for the big performance. I was sent up town for a box of collars for Mr. Washburn, and when I returned, the maid had to take a taxi trip to one of the big stores for a certain kind of face for Miss Gergorygown, so you can see we did not have any makeup to keep these flowers on night. In the mean time, few grams and flowers were arriving every thirty minutes and we had to find some place to keep these flowers when we was job. At 7:45 p.m., exactly, the automobiles began to arrive to transport the stars to the theatre, and when the last one had left I started in tomskay down the rooms. I was a tired poor soul when I finished up that night. The maid was told that she might retire, and need not wait up for the stars to return, and she didn't need to be told the second time, but trumped on with a weary good night. About 2:00 a.m., the stars returned with a down hearted look on their faces; and all I could hear was this is the worst house that we have played before since we left Los Angeles—terrible. The manager was make ing the slip blue in his drawing room with Mrs. DeWayne and the club car person came back to me and told me that he had overheard a conversation in the car saying that the Springfield show was a complete failure. That settled it someone was working hard to kill us on the road, and " began to see a quick flash to what looked like a three months trip at the start. Cooking in the Electric Locker While we were n springing, I went up town to a five and ten cent store and bought one of those little canned heat stoves and some supplies, and when I returned I looked around in a vacant lot for a piece of tin. I found a sheet of gelatinized tin and cut it down to fit the electric Locker. I had purchased a small frying pan and a coffee pot, some knives, spoons and forks. Then I went to a grocery store and laid in a supply of staple goods, such as sugar, eggs, pepper, salt and numerous other things, and when I had finished we were ready for business. The next morning the maid made coffee, bacon and eggs on the canned heat store, and we had our breakfast together in a compartment. The only trouble we had was keeping enough stuff on hand to feed several of the stars, because as soon as the madam started that bacon to frying and the odor wafted down the hall mixed in with a fragrant aroma of good coffee, they began sticking their heads out of their compartment doors, asking if they could have a cup of coffee. From then on it was up to us to have hot coffee and rolls for the distinguished film stars, and we made money doing it besides getting our own meals for nothing. Anna May Wong and Miss Phyllis Haver always had their coffee in bed and then did not get up until noon. Cooking in an electric locker is O. K. with me, but it takes quite a little time, as it is a slow process. Three days in Kansas City We arrived in Kansas City at 9:00 a.m. the 15th and remained there until 4:00 p.m. the 28th—three days. It was very cold all the time we were there, but we were put on steam heat in the depot on the Chicago, Milwaukee tracks. Our lights went bad on us, and we had an awful time. By being on the Milwaukee track space we could not get the car charged up with electricity, because it was of the wring voltage. The Union terminal company would not switch our car to the other side of the depot without a big charge, and DeVaux feeling that he was entitled to this service without any extra charges, refused to pay. It was up to me to get some light before night, and I got busy. I went up to the office of the Pullman Company where Mr. Arthur was then superintendent and explained the situation to him. Mr. Arthur asked me why I did not burn my candles, and I explained to him that it was too big a risk, as expensive gowns were hung up in all the rooms, and they might catch on fire, which would mean a heavy damage suit to the Company. He left his office with me, and together we went to a hardware store and bought a number of big lanterns, filled them with oil, and that's the way we got our light for three days and nights. When we departed I returned the lanterns to the office. Stars Get Sick at Atchison If never rains but what is pours. We arrived in Atchison at 6:45 p. m. in a blinding storm; cold as bliz. blowes. The dainty movie stars not being acustomed to such severe cold weather, began to get sick one at a time and the next morning we had to call a doctor who attended them while they remained in their compartments all day. Miss Haver had a dreadful col, and Edna Gregory, the baby star was in the same fix. However we were all in fairly good shape when we arrived in Omaha on the 31st at 7:10 a. m. Andy Gump Names the Maid "Min" During the trip it became the masid's duty to help Mr. Joe Murphy set his big collar on. Mr. Murphy took the part of Andy Gump in the play. On several different occasions the maid was busy doing something else, because when the stew started getting ready to appear at a show, that car was just like a mad house, everything on the floor that could possibly get there when they left, and it always took us an hour to get the things picked up and put back in place. I often think that the Pullman Company would give me an extra check for that trip if they knew how hard we worked on it. But good deeds are seldom noticed in life. It's the bad ties that draw attention from the chief of police on down. When Andy Gump would want the maid, he would bellow out in his big voice, "Oh! Min!" so every on the car began calling the maid "Min" even myself although she would look daggers at me some times. A Bad Bump Early that morning when we arrived in Munich, the switching crew turned our car loose and we received a terrible jar. It woke up everyone in the car, and Mr. DeVaux came running out of his room in his pajamas. He sure did tell the switchmen a few things. I often wonder what those harried switchmen thought of this eloquent outburst coming from the boss. When they got us perked, Mr. DeVaux had his clothes on, and had a long talk to the yard foreman, who reported it. About an hour after, two or three claim agents were ringing the bell to see Mr. DeVaux in regard to the damage, and if any one was hurt, I think they were rather anxious to get in the car to get a peek at the stars. A company doctor was along with them, and he insisted on examining all the stars; but he did not get very far with that, as the boss would not let him go in the rooms.

It gave us a chance to have the car thoroughly renovated, and after this was done, all that we had to do was eat, sleep, and exercise the dog. I was very glad indeed to get the rest, but the madam went on a strike on me and refused to cook whils we were in Omaha. I had to trot to the restaurant in the depot and bring her meals back to the car on a trey, gee! it was cold. She would not leave the car, and everything on the outside was strictly up to me, and the dog, Mr. DeVaux had a cute Little overcook made for the dog, and every time I took him out I had to put the darn thing on, when I brought him back I had to take it off. Miss Haver had a small victoria in her compartment, which was given to her when she was in England, also a lot of snappy jazz pieces. In this manner we got some kick in laying over in Omaha. We were there three days, but things that happened while we were there came near bringing our trip to an end. I shall relate all of this in the next chapter. How we had to leave town in a hurry. All about Miss Haver leaving the troop, and as the main climax, a warrant for the star's arrest. Read it all in next week's Eagle. Alphas Open Basketball Season With Victory Gain Ascendancy over Strong Imperial Team—Two Games Saturday The Alpha Phi Alphas, that fast stepping bunch of college boys started the basketball season right last Saturday night by defeating the Imperials, favorites of the league 39 to 38 in a thrilling game. The balcony was packed and jammed for the first game of the season and the folks surely got their money's worth. Everyone went away pleased and said they would be back next Sat- urday for the next two games. In the first game the Don Junns beat the Hedonicas Al to 4 in a walk away game. The Hedonicas couldn't seem to get going Saturday night for some season or other and the Dons ran completely away from them. BREWER, WILLIAMS STAR Al Brewer, the little short boy that goes to Pasadena Junior College, was one of the stars of the game, sharing the honors with Drippy Williams, al-city man from Jefferson High. E, Courtney, Reis High, and who's a Junnite, was very much in evidence too. He made plenty string music for the Dons. Johnny Kauffman played a steady game also. In fact, the Don Junns looked like champs on last Bath Night and it is going to take a mighty good team to bring them down the line.

After the first quarter the shocks were jerked and the first string went in, and started working on that bunch of college boys and what a game that was from then on. Vernon Fulcher was high point man for the Imperials and even at that the kid didn't have his eye. He missed foul shots that should have been playing string music. E. Salisbury played a great game at guard for the Imperials, sinking those long shots from over the half-way mark. BLACK & WHITE CABS (This Company also operates Crown Cabs at the same rate.) Fltzroy 51-21 The one and only Sick Stocks played a great floor game for the Alphas. Slick is plenty fast for a big man and passes like a bullet. Ford, first name unknown, was high point man for the Alphas. Man, how, that kid could sink them from one end of the floor to the other. After being in the lead for a quarter the Alphas lost the lead to the Imperials and then came back to tie the score 35 all. Five minutes extra time was given and first one team and then the other would jump into the lead and when the five minutes rolled around it was 37 all, again a tie score. The Imperials got two free shots on DESIRABLE LOTS IN PASADENA BROTHER, HOW IS YOUR SOLE?

Merriman, the Portlandist who has been visiting in our midst for the past two months is going to weigh anchor and travel south ere long. We are extremely sorry to hear this news, especially since he expressed his views before the Forum and Knights of Pythians recently. Perhaps he'll return and give us an opportunity to put into execution some of the things he has advocated to help the Negro help himself. Anyway, we hope he will. It's alright for white America to journey over to the Phillippines, Haiti, Liberia, Mexico and other foreign lands where dark-skinned races dwell, rob them of their ground, pull down their flags, and cohabitate with and matreat their women. Perfectly alright, but when American business interests seeking to find a way out of employing home, labor import from across the sea Philippines and others on a percentage of nine men to one woman and white women attempt to voluntarily fill the breach that constitutes a crime and the imported laborer becomes the victim of mob violence instead of his employer. Again, Georgia citizens have caused Justice to hang her head in shame and the world to stop, look, and listen, while she takes the law in her own hand and lynches and burns a human being at the stake. Some day the National Government will look upon mob violence like it looks upon prohibition and instruct its officers to shoot to kill. Then and not till then will mobs learn to respect the law and lynching cease to be a social pastime. --- We noticed so many bare-headed Negroes of late we thought we'd inquire the cause and found out that they had all thrown their hats in the political arena. It wouldn't be a bad idea if some of 'em would rehat themselves and save themselves and the race from political disgrace stated Ray Ikum, who just recovered from a severe case of acute indigestion. Miss Lillian Hicks, 1580 E. 47th St. was very agreeably surprised on Saturday. Feb. 1st, the occasion being her birthday. About 35 friends invited by her mother.

The birthday cake also a gift of Mrs. Chester Franklin of Beverly Hills was a masterpiece in itself. While dancing was the main feature of the evening. Many attended to the serious side of life, judging from the way the eats, consisting of stuffed prunes, sandwiches, glazed nuts and candies disappeared. This of course did not include the chicken salad, hot biscuits and coffee served later. The gifts many and beautiful as well as useful were opened by Miss Hicks in the wee hour of the morning bringing to a close another affair to talk about for sometime to come.

If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Pasadena Section --- Just a few words about Colored Pasadena purchasers: I have traveled quite a bit—even out of the United States. Always I have paid strict attention to Negroes, especially the manner in which they do business. There are scores of indications of their co-operation in different parts of the globe; but in California, and Pasadena particularly, I have not been very favorably impressed. (I am a white woman, but I have a genuine interest in your race.) I will cite one case to bear out my statement; scores of others are known to me: I stopped in to congratulate Mr. Graham on his new drug store. I had just returned from Europe after a three year's visit, and when I heard of Mr. Graham's new store I was of course very happy and anxious to see it. I have known him ever since he started business in Pasadena twelve years ago. We nao a lovely chat. I told him how pleased I was to see him expanding and being boosted by his own race. But when he related a few candid facts I almost gasped for breath. He told me that 90 per cent of his regular customers are white—that if he depended on the colored patron-age he would have to close his doors. Friends, this is a shame. The worst part of it is that we white people know these things. Why do you so foolishly hold a grudge against your own business and professional men just because of some petty dislike, often purely imaginary? People meeting the public have thousands of things daily, to ruffle their dispositions. You hold some nearly grudge against your own business men but you go to white stores and take all kinds of insults and often go back for more. It is a disgrace that you colored people do not support one another when in business or professions. Until you learn to do so you will always have the back seat. When you find a fair, straight-forward business man as Mr. Graham is you should do all in your power to boost him by trading with him. Another thing and I shall close. He told me that he was criticized by his people for not hiring more colored help. He told me that he always hired help when he could find competent ones that would stay. I have taken up probably too much space, but Mr. Echols told me to express myself fully so please forgive me. Yours in interest. (MRS.) G. W. SAWYERS. INTERRACIAL FORUM— The interracial forum held at Friendship church Sunday afternoon was a grand success. The meeting is in its experimental stage, but it will become established shortly. Mr. Manilol C. Parech (Hindu) was the main spokesman. His speech was a masterpiece. Said he, "The Negro is the Christ race; they have suffered more than any race in the history of the world; Booker T. Washington was the Moses of the Negro race; caste system has often protected Negro womanhood from white assaulters; Negroes, like Hindus, have great spiritual approach to reality," etc., etc. Senor Elerco Regolado (Mexican) spoke in behalf of the Indian civilization of the Mayas and Aztecs. His speech was fiery, humorous, and interesting. Mrs. Stewart French (white) briefly spoke on the unity of all races as evidenced by evolution. Mr. Melancio Figuracion (Filipino) gave his response to the recent uprising in Northern California. The meeting came to close due to a shortness of time without allowing all the speakers a chance to talk, Jews, Russians, Danes, Negroes, Japanese and other races were represented. There will be another meeting Sunday held at the Westminster Presbyterian church on North Lake near Woodbury Road. Time 6:15 sharp. All interested are urged to come. OPEN LETTER Dear Editor: I am a constant reader of your paper, and in the past I been enjoying and receiving much benefit from your articles. But of all articles, your articles in the January 1st issue, "The Negro a Beggar Despite Economic Opportunities," took the cake an all the candles. Mentis Carrere, who wrote the article knew what he was talking about believe me. Every point he made was a top ringer and I'll tell the world. The sooner we as a group wake up and do something the better off we'll be. Yes! I am a Negro and proud of it. It is a down right pity that all of the business we as a group operate, less than one per cent deal with food, clothing and shelter; the most vital things for existence. What is the matter? Is it that we just cannot wake up? We think of all this and wonder why as many of our children graduate from schools of learning as do. Why it it that other groups eling with us commercially? The only conclusion I can come to is that we are the loosest and weakest group on earth. The fact is, that if we do not wake up soon, we might as well prepare to sleep permanently. Yours frankly, OTTO MACK. SICK--- Mrs. Kiger is very ill. She had a stroke of paralysis; and now pneumonia is threatening. Mrs. Kiger is living on Bellevue Drive. She formerly lived on Dayton street.

That a danky is not afraid of lions? There is proof: Santiago, Calle: A little circus mule who has amused thousands by bucking off his riders played the part of the hero, when two lions escaped. The lions, a male and female, killed several horses, mauled their trainers and spread a crowd through the circus. While the crowd screamed in terror, the lions leaped into the enclosure where the rULE was watching. Without a bit of fuss the mule went into action with his bind legs. He lashed on once, kicked the mallion over her ward into a heap, pivoted and dealt with the lioness a knockout blow. The animals offered no resistance when their trainers came to tie them up. They were out—cold. READ'EM and GRIN BY: EMMETT ASHFORD EXCELLENT ALIBI First Kid: "Gee Jimmy, when I went by your house I heard someone swearing something terrible." Second Kid: "Aw that was Pawz.

He occupied this position for four months prior to the appointment of Mr. Hjelte in 1925.

This purpose will also have the approval of the playground Commission, which is unanimous in its desire to continue along the lines now being followed.

The cause of Mr. Hines's injury to Mr. Hines, which he said had been brought from a friend of his, and from a friend of his, when he was 18 years old, had been put in a state of a state of health. He had been put in a state of health. Harris is charged with the murder of the man on our grounds of a complaint made to the Dorset Airways office by a Mrs Neilie Hunt charging Harris with misrepresentation of $500 of her limbs. Harris has already been convicted of two misbehavements and has appeared both in Superior Court. The case has attracted a good deal of interest for the party involved—Mr Harris—has it is alleged he could be in good position to have unlawfully made charges over a period of several years. And his many victims have told the court that the culmination in the case is all. Many starting revolts have been held in the Superior Court for the prosecution at the ordinary mans hearing in court. SILVER FOX INDUSTRY It is very evident that Negro have the opportunity to invest their money on a short life. Given what we have the choice we will do to use it. We eternally learn on the spiritual things of the world to code, but somehow or other our eyes are closed to that that while we are ambitions to be Godly we must at the same time have food for our stomach and a place to sleep. For several years I have watched the growth of the Silver Fox industry in Pascadera order the management of Dr. J. Whitakee and since it is my conviction that it is the best investment opportunity open to the Negro of moderate means, anywhere in America today, I have planned to write a few articles in order that the public will be informed about the truthfulness of the Silver Fox industry. Before entering into this subject allow me to preface my remarks with a few facts that every Negro must realize if he is to ever become anything more than a helper of wood and drawer of water. The history of mankind reveals that the culture of the leading civilizations of the world was based on the material wealth of those civilizations. Of course real success cannot be measured in terms of material wealth; but neither can real success be attained without the possession of material wealth to some extent. It has been said that the reason that America has not produced the culture that equals that of older countries of Europe and Asia is because she has not had the leisure. The early settlers had to use most of their energy in battling the forces of nature—felling trees, tilling the soil, fighting wild creatures, etc. Little time was had for creative work. Our machine age has helped to increase our surplus wealth and so shortly we should expect to have more leisure and so more culture. Let us emphasize this procedure: (1) Surplus wealth is accumulated. (2) More leisure is had, and (3) Culture begins to develop. So to have leisure to enjoy the finer things of life we must first have material wealth—money. There surely can be no safer and more legitimate investment that pays such large dividends as does the Silver 'You're Next' BY GLADYCE GREENAWAY O. G.

This was the club's first annual dance, and the Fall was soon filled with well-wishers. Hughes backers of flowers formed the celebration, and an electric sun proclaiming the club's letters was also in evidence. Colored lights were placed over the assembly during the ceremony.

The white companies have been prospering for years, and under such a capable controller as Dr. J. T. Whittaker the Negro company is sure to prove one of best enterprises that it has ever been the prince of the Negro to have. When we require and organize our wealth we shall gain political strength and when we gain political strength we shall be far on the road to being recognized by the other roars. Any good business enterprise will help us to gain political and social recognition. And I venture to say that there isn't an industry in Amarica that offers a brighter future than does the Silver Fox industry. The Crown Silver Fox Company, with its main office in Pasadena, is the oldest colored enterprise of its kind in the world. Next week we shall give a brief history of the business together with information published by the United States Department of Agriculture, Bulletin No. 1151. Tiny cards, placed under the desert plates, disclosed the secret, and congratulations were heard on all sides.

Temple, 803 F. 321] St., Phone, HU, 3419 or VA, 1221] THE CARE OF OUR BABIES THE CARE OF OUR BABIES I am pleased to note the interesting comments on the articles each week it encourages us to know that the people at large appreciate the articles and feel that they help them. Each week the letters from interested women and the questions in the same are piling up, but I would say to the enquirers, do not be disappointed that I have not answered your questions. I have not forgotten your queries, neither am I trying to put you off, but it is necessary to carry these discussions to a certain point before loan interrupt again to give a week to queries, but just have a little patience and each and every enquirer will be given the courtesy and each question will be considered. HOW CAN YOU TELL WHEN A LITTLE ONE IS TO BE EXPECTED ? In order to seek a good doctor early in pregnancy it is necessary to have some of a of the very early diagnosis of pregnancy. Now to most mothers it may seem strange to outline methods for determining whether one is pregnant or not, but if you were a doctor for one month only you would be surprised to find how many woman came into the doctors office each month to find out whether they are pregnant or not. For a fact it is no easy matter, nor is it even possible for an expert physician to always diagnise with absolute certainty an early pregnancy. Some of the common signs of early pregnancy are the following—Missing one or more monthly periods. Being slightly nauseated by your stomach or vomiting at unusual times either mornings or evenings. Breasts enlarge and are sensitive all or these signs give strong suspicion of a pregnancy. But it is impossible to be positive of pregnancy until about the fourth month, at that time "life" or "breaking" is often out of the mother and the doctor by use of a certain instrument can usually hear the baby's heart at about the fourth month. At the mother should not wait until she "feels life" before meeting a doctor because by that time the baby is well formed and many organs in the mother's diet or a normal management of herself may HOW CAN YOU PREDICT THE DAY OF CONFINEMENT? There is no certain method of telling the exact date of contientment. But the approximate date can be given in most cases. The physician makes certain calculations and conclusions from a thorough examination. The patient self may count back 5 months from the 1st day of the last menstrual period and add 7 days, for example, if you menstruate, last August 1st the baby will in great likelihood, come on or about May 1st. Or count 273 days to 280 days from the known date of conception. Neither method is absolutely accurate but they are the best that we have. PROMINENT EASTERNER VISITS SON Dr. Frank G.

We were honored with the presence of one of God's foremost Ambassadors, Rev Lee of Redbank, 'N. J., who preached for us at morning service and again Sunday night, also officiating over the Lord's Supper. Never has Calvary been stirred up as it was by this able eminent and God-sent Minister, taking for his text at the morning service "The Joys of Religion" and at the evening service his text was "Truly the Holy Ghost with us" and before he was through everyone present knew for themselves that he was right for he had to stop several times during his sermon to let the Spirit die down a little so he could be heard. Babies were tossed out of the laps of their mothers and the whole Church seemed to have been on Fire, the acting pastor, Bro. Edwards, had to struggle with himself to keep still—Truly the Holy Ghost was with us." The B. Y. P. U. seemed to have the same Spirit for there was shouting and rejoicing as never before.

The Revival spirit is still holding sway, and souls are continuing being blessed. Dr. Rozier preached a wonderfull sermon Sunday morning, showing us the absolute necessity of our staying with the Word of God. In the Evening, another powerful message was brought by Dr. Rozier, on Jesus before and after his death, using as his text, "The New Birth." Prof. Pierson, a son of one of our national-workers in the East, sang at different services during the day, and the harmony of his rich, mellow voice fell like a benediction upon the ears of all who heard him. In the afternoon, the young people's missionary met in their regular monthly meeting headed by Miss Elsie Hunt, president of the girls and Mr. Roger Woody, president of the young boys. The work done by this group of young folk and the efficient way they do things is a credit not only to our church, but to our race. The different departments of the church have elected their officers for the year of 1930, and from all appearance this will prove the most prosperous year in the history of our church. Through the efficient and progressive leadership of our pastor, the church has thoroughly equipped a business office where all the church business can be cared for in a creditable way. We invite all Los Angeles, to come and worship with us each evening in the week and all day Sunday; free dinner is served each Sunday free to our many friends and visitors.

Prosecutors from the state's attorney's office were cager to go to trial earlier, but the Bishop's counsel, Louis Piequet, former city prosecutor, maintained that he could not get ready for trial before the March date.

William McMahon's Market Digest Here is a tabloid analysis of some active stocks, with our appraisal of each of them. Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. — A favorite among shrewed investors and investment trusts. Progressive and up to date in equipment. Earnings satisfactory, covering the $7 dividend amply. Book value of shares, 124, and capitalized at 123,520 shares of $10 par common range of price in 1929 from 145% to 165. Now selling around 136 and yielding 61 per cent. A buy for either investment or for the advance. Crucible Steel.—Pays $5. Selling around 79. The yield, therefore, is 63 per cent. The price range this year has been from 1215 to 71. Earnings report for 1929 has not yet been published, but it is understood that the net will be well above 1925, when $706 was earned. The book value is 150, or nearly twice the market price. There are only 550,000 shares of $100 par value stock outstanding. *Hudson Motor.—Earnings the first nine months were $4.42. The year should show at least $10, which is double the dividend rate of $5. Stock currently quoted at 48. Yield is about 11 per cent. There is no sense in getting afraid of the motor issues of worth. They are bound to come back. And any standard stock like Hudson, that is earning its dividend twice over and selling so low as to yield 11 per cent is a buying opportunity. Foundation Co.—A few years ago this one sold as high as 184. In October it went so low as 12,924. The high for the current year was 69%. This illustrates the volatility of the stock. It pays no dividends and in the first six months it earned 73 cents. In 1928 the net was $3.10. There are only 100,000 shares of no par common stock outstanding. It always has been quite a alive, but let it alone except to dispose of it if you have it. Hilton Central Railroad.—One of the first class rolls, traveling a prosperous section of the country. Pays a $7 dividend and yields $12 per cent. Book value of shares, 155, and business is healthy gaining. We recommend it as a sound investment. Pulman—A sound, solid investment issue, selling around $6, paying $4 dividend and yielding, therefore, close to 8 percent. The price range this year has been from 99% to 75. The company offered $4.11 the first nine months this year, and the book value of the shares, is 126, or 50 per cent above the market price. We recommend it as an investment. Fairbanks Co.—Originally a manufacturer of scales and one of the oldest companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The company has been having hard sliding up to a year ago, but during the past year the net has increased nearly $00 per cent. Selling around $9 and a good speculation. 12:00—Noon Silence for Prosperity and Success. 2:00—The Twelve Faculties of Man. 7:00—Prosperity Silence. 8:00—Affirmations.

BEN PLAX REAL PROGRESS IS MADE ONLY THRU MUTUAL DEPENDENCE (Continued From Page One) er of that consumption until a goodly number of the masses become commercially conscious and, becoming so, establish and develop an economic system of mutual dependence. When Negroes learn how to depend upon themselves for their necessities, when they know the value of creating the jobs they hold, strength will not only be developed within them, but follow the besten path of commerce, used by other races, to race, but the more advanced races will respect us and consider our civil claims. There are two kinds of productive forces, one controlling things in productions, the other training and leaving the control to others. The Negro race has been producing in America for over three centuries, but because this race has never committed to establish a system of control over what it produces it is now being eliminated as a producing matter. Jobs are being taken from us and new ones are so scarce as preachers who preach the real truths of the Bible. As a race we are dependent upon others for food, clothing, shelter, and our most intimate needs. This condition exists among Negroes in Los Angeles notwithstanding the fact that on sixteen articles we consume $410,000 annually. We have been receiving charity from the whites for sixyears, for educational and religious purposes. Unless we take steps to advance our economic condition we will be receiving a to a kind of charity, employment for bare necessities in order to save the white race the expense of burying us. Two races living in the same land, and the same government, both physically tree, should be equal, and they are with both races control what they produce and consume. When both races produce and only one controls that production, there is no equality between them, nor can there be. Nearness are not the white man's equal and the race admits it by always fighting and begins for what the dominant race processes. For real and lasting equality both the race the Negro race must establish itself in business that will take care of the messages. It must place itself in a reciprocal position in records production and control. The race must not always seek to get possession of the things that the white race has gained through commercial activities, but must place itself in a position to hand out smothing to them. In other words Negroes must have something the white man wants. A change of affairs within the Negro race is demanded or we perish. There must be a change in the bread and butter condition of the masses. Our old prejudices to things that are fundamental must be thrown off, our inferiority complexes must be eliminated, fear of tackling our own problem must cease, and the instituting of business for the masses and by the masses must be the order of the day. If we build for the masses we shall ward off poverty, furnish ourselves with employment, develop self-respect, tear up inter-racial conferences, and establish intra-racial meetings. We must establish and develop a system of mutual dependence. When we do this the race will do for itself what begging and fighting cannot. Eishoo William A Washington, Pastor Bebel Church of Christ, Holiness Adams & Hooper South Los Angeles News A VERY IMPORTANT Friday, February 7, 1930 GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. T. F. Jonea, Pastor Services at Grant (Chapel, Sunday, Feb. 2. were splendidly inspiring. The day began auspiciously with the largest Sunday School attendance of the year.

In the afternoon the pastor and several members of the congregation traveled to Pasadena to attend the Quarterly Meeting services.

B. JOE BAILEY One of the most important questions in the lives of the majority of the American families today is money. It takes money to survive. To get that necessity one must do something to earn it. Some people earn more than others, but everyone of us, while we are able, earn something in order to live. The smart men and women, while they are on their feet, PROTECT THEIR EARNING POWER against that time when they might be down and not able to work. How do they do that? Why, they buy THAT PROTECTION in the form of INSURANCE; they carry Health and Accident Policies, to assure them on a steady income in case of illness or an accident; Endowment Policies to assure them of a lump sum of money in their advanced age; Straight Life Insurance to ease the burden on their loved ones at death. The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Grant of the West, has just the Policy to Protect you, and yours, and Joe Bailey, their agent will gladly call upon you at your convenience and go over with you and explain to you all of the different forms of Policies, thereby helping you to select the form that is best suited to your need.

Redmond, attorney and chairman of the Mississippi Republican executive committee, has been dismissed by the Mississippi Supreme Court on an appeal of Redmond from a Hinds County chancery court order. The Supreme Court unheld Redmond in all four of the specifications presented in his appeal holding that there was not sufficient reason to disbar him for any of them. The entire case was recused and Redmond usurped. The tour counts against him were charging an exorbitant and unauthorized fee for administering an estate, perjury before a trial court judge when testifying related to alleged contract with a client pre-juried testimony regarding an alleged agreement with the district attorney, on setting of a case, and selling public offices. Redmond lost Miss. your last week to take up his residence in Washington. He was disbarred before this officer V. J. Strucker in Hinds Chancery Court after a committee of the Hinds county bar had investigated charges against him and against his son. Charges against the son were dropped when he agreed to move out of the state. He is practicing in St. Louis. Sale of public office was made one of the counts, and on this Redmond was cleared by the night court. It recites that some five years ago, at a time when so to do was not criminal offense" Redmond offered to procure the appointment of a man to the office of United States marshal for one of the Mississippi district. The fact that he offered to, whether he did or did not procure the appointment, is not sufficient grounds for disbartment, says the court, with this comment "In his non-professional relations an attorney is held to no higher standard of morals or ethics than are men of other trades, calling or professions, and it would be going very far to say that a man inherits himself of trust in the ordinary relations of life merely because he offers to procure the appointment of another to a public office for compensation. Had the evidence disclosed that the appellant (Redmond) offered to procure the appointment by corrupt methods, a different question might be presented." Dr. E.

Spring Street Page----Six FREDDIE Tivoli TH Duke's Composition FREDDIE WASHINGTON in "BLACK and Tivoli Theatre, Sunday THE NEW YORKER FREDDIE. WASHINGTON and DUKE ELLINGTON in "BLACK and TAN" At The Lee Young, 17 Year Old Kid, Stops Show at Apex Nite Club NEW SHOW OPENS FEATURING ANDERSON BROTHERS, GUS JONES, MANY STARS OF STAGE AND SCREEN THERE Lee Young, a 17-year-old kid, has stopped the show at the Apex Nite Club for a week straight. The kid is stared long with the Anderson Brothers and Gus Jones in Curtis Mosby's brand new floor show, called Spirituals. Lee has been in the show game as long as he can remember and he is from New Orleans and how that boy can go. His first number is, "Shy Little Violets Grow." And did he sing it? But you haven't heard a thing yet. Blues sung by the male sex until you hear this kid sing, "One Sweet Letter From You." All in he had eight encounters and they wanted more, but time wouldn't permit and they just had to be satisfied. Before we get all hot here about this wonderful show that Curtis has put on this week let us give you an eye full in writing about the tremendous crowd and the special request for music by the guests: PACKED AND JAMMED The Club was packed and jammed by 11:30 and tables were at a premium and you couldn't beg, borrow or steal one. Special requests for music were in order and how those Blues Blowers did blow the Blues away. Jim Porter, the little, round, fat cornet player outdid himself on that Golden horn of his and literally made it talk. When Jim closed his eyes and started tooting on that horn everybody stopped what they were doing and cocked an all-listening ear for the sweetest music this side of the Atlantic seaboard. Porter is big time with that corner and he just commands attention that dims all other lights. The second big shot of the first show was the Kentucky Jubilee Singers in the Negro Spirituals. The boys have everything that goes to make an ideal quartette, an arist their stuff, they do that little thing. Led by Miss Mildred Washington in beautiful and original costumes the fast stepping chorus was a thing of perfection in dress and steps.

Last Wednesday night was no exception, unless it was because there were more stars there than u-sual. Many introductions were given by Curtis himself as Master of Ceremonies. Joe Trent famous composer took a bow. Hugh Macbeth, counsel of the club, with Mrs. Macbegh, got a big hand.

Gas Range BY: JAMES S. HARRIS, JR. Referring in part to the bible, God said: "Go ye into the world and preach the gospel, etc." A certain local minister has, by his continued policy, sought to pervert God's word by substituting "politics" for the "gospel." * % * Negroes in the United States are Americans and not Russians; In view of this hypothesis and upon this premises, Americans have watched with keen interest, the attitude assumed by the County Civil Service Commission in the matter of qualifying, assigning and specifying duties for Negroes in the capacity of Deputy Sheriff, and resent the same. It seems that the policy of this Commission is to accord Negroes, who qualify in this respect, police authority but manual labor duties. Americans frequently have cause to pause, gasp and gaze in awe and utter digust at the way the Constitution of the United States is being observed and executed by supposedly good American citizens. It appears that a Dr. St. Louis Estes, venerable back-to-nature and raw exponent, who has been giving frequent lectures at the Walker Auditorium on So. Grand Ave., recommended the Health Cafeterias at 217 and 818 W. 6th St., subsequent to his lectures, as the ideal and best fitted establishments to obtain certain constituents and substances, in a concentrated respect, in one's daily diet, because of the superiority of the menu. In other words, the policy of the proprietors, Mr. S. S. and W. W. Hirsch, is to cater to dietitians and accordingly Dr. Estes advocates the patronization of these Health Cafeterias in accordance with his health program lectures. It further appears that numerous race members (both men and women) are zealous listeners at Dr. Estes' lectures, seeking cure for some ailment or other, and in accordance with Dr. Estes' suggestion present themselves at these Health Cafeterias to be served along with other Americans, but are told they cannot be served on account of their color by a Mr. O. Kunz, manager of the 217 W. 6th St. Cafeteria. We have no fault to find with Dr. Estes, who has incidentally been recently flayed in a civil separate maintenance suit by Mrs. Clara N. Estes of Denver, who claims to be his legal wife, but directing ano focusing our attention to these Cafeterias we do pause to say that it is a dirty, burning shame, perfectly absurd, preposterous and un-American. An infraction of the Constitution of both the U. S. and the State of California is obvious. Industrial and Financial REVIEW 3y WILLIAM McMAHON, Pres. William McMahon's Market Digest Late news comes to hand that steel activity is showing a gain over last week and that prices continue firm with encouraging prospects for business for the beginning of the year. Oil and rail reports are unchanged from last week, some sections reporting a heavier rail traffic and a lessening of petroleum inventories, and other sections making adverse reports. Building construction is holding its own and motor manufacturing is dull. The value of exports has jumped 45 per cent. above that of a year ago as currently published by the Port of New York authority, and if gains from other parts of the country are not all as high, yet a gain is conceded to be general among them all. What is unsettled, there is a slump in tin futures, copper is holding to its price levels of 18 cents, coffee is higher, hides are lower, raw sugar has declined, as also has silk, rubber values have receded and retail trade shows gains in all sections, among chain and department stores. The money market is easier, with time funds at 4% per cent, for all maturities. Current clearing house statement showed exchanges of $1,074,000,000, and balance of $185,000,000, and a Federal Reserve Bank credit balance of $137,000,000. There seems to be no definite price trend on the New York Stock Exchange as the public seems leach to enter the market with much trading enthusiasm either as bulls or bears. It would seem that in view of so many favorable circumstances people with funds would take advantage of the many investment bargains now to be found in the lists of all the reputable exchanges. Yields are certainly attractive, money is low and so are prices. Besides, consider the impetus that the Hoover conference must give to all industry in view of the enormous expansion programs promised by the conferences. Even without such stimulation, corporations are recording earnings gains and voting extra dividends, seemingly as a matter of vogue or habit. All these favorable factors must soon reflect themselves in stock prices. S. Arthur Adams, head of the Eastern Outfitting Company's Colored Department, announces that all next week he will give his friends and customers $10 for their old gas ranges (regardless of age or condition) toward the purchase price of Eastern's Anniversary Special, the range selected to celebrate Eastern's 28th Anniversary event. The regular Anniversary price of the Eastern Special is $34.85. Allowing $10 for your old gas range, brings this price down to $44.75 (and your old gas range). This liberal offer, Mr. Adams points out, is for the first week of the Anniversary Sale only. "This is one of the most liberal offers I have ever been associated with," says Mr. Adams, "but it is typical of the liberal values of Eastern's 28th Anniversary. For this event, Eastern has promised the best values of the year. Here, furniture and furnishings for every room in the home, have been drastically reduced. No matter what you need in the way of home furnishings, you can save here right now." Mr. Adams pointed out that Eastern's liberal policy of credit extension permits home makers to purchase when the advantage is greatest, and to pay later in small, regular amounts, without interest. "The Eastern is the store that charges no interest. Credit prices are the same as cash prices." say Mr. Adams. "Here the home make who is able to meet small, regular payments, is treated just exactly the same as a cash customer. There are no discounts for cash, and no penalties attached to using your credit. Open your account right now, and make your next furniture purchase at the Eastern." The Eastern Outfitting Company is located at 620 South Main Street, Los Angeles, next door to the P. E. Depot. CLISBY IN THE EAST GOING BIG CLISBY IN THE EAST GOING BIG STOPS TONY CALENTO IN 7TH ROUND Seven rounds were sufficient for Tony Galentino of Orange, N. J.; Jerry Moore starring the battle and awarding the decision to Neil Clisby the California heavyweight at the Garden last week. This fight took place in Boston the home of Gabby Jack Sharkey. Clisby who has been east for some months and who is workliving under another manager now is going big and no less. Billy Ames of the eastern clime claims Neil as his fistic property now, and the big boy seems to have taken a new lease on the box fighting game and is going like a million dollars back there. MORE ABOUT THE FIGHT Alex McLean, who has been absent from ring affairs for several years, handled Clisby and the colored man proved that McLean's judgment in taking him under his wing was as good when he picked Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world and groomed him for the things which ensued. The eastern writer goes on to tell what he thinks of Clisby. The black man is an excellent workman. He is cool, calculating and a good stic hitter with either hand. From the outset Neil went after galento and soon had him in distress with his lightning like rights and lefts to the body and head. In the seventh it got so, bad the third man stepped in and stopped it. This Man Did His Duty As He Saw It Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 4.—The following story of a Negro hero was published first in the Nashville Banner: "He wore no uniform, nor bore a sentinel's gun, but no soldier in the service of this country ever stuck to his post through greater difficulty, or at greater hazard to his life than did L. T. Holt, Negro railway clerk of Nashville, in the recent wreck on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad edt Trafford, Ala., according to reports that have reached this city. "I must wait to relief," said the Negro, weak from the loss of blood as he clung to the top of a pile of registered mail pouches in the wild debris of the overturned cars and the appalling groans of injured sufferers. An ambulance had stopped to take him to Birmingham for aid. An attendant raised his shirt. There was an uny wound in his broken ribs protruded through. Loss of blood had made him too feeble to stand. "Your life is in danger-you must have treatment, he was told. "No, came the response. 'I have rotary lock pouches from Montgomery and Birmingham. I must have orders, or aid from officials before I leave them.' "The ambulance moved off and this soldier of the government's registered mail service kept his solitary vigil until relief came."

Gorton McPherson, "Black Billy Sunday," was revealed as an unexpected visitor to the historic Coliseum Place Baptist Church (white) he was received with signal cordiality by the Southern pastor, Rev. Dr. S. Gamble Posey, who arose and introduced the Rev. McPherson to the large congregation. Dr. Gamble told his cultured assemblage that they were honored by the presence of a distinguished visitor in the person of Rev. McPherson and invited the brother from his balcony seat, where he had been placed by an usher, to the lower floor.

Baton Rouge, La., Feb. 5.—When the state board of education had finished its work of recommending appropriations for schools here Monday, it was found that every state institution for Negroes had received an increased allotment. The board, in making its recommendations to the legislature for the various state institutions, allotted to Southern University for maintenance $200,000 and $150,000 for buildings, and other annual income $63,500 supplementary. The special tax measure, that is proposed, carries an addition of $500,000 for permanent improvements. The Negro Blind School, an auxiliary to Southern University, and under the same administration, was recommended for a total appropriation of $56,000. The State Negro Normal School was assigned a total appropriation of $140,000. President J. S. Clark of Southern University, who sat in the Board meeting, made an effort to secure a larger appropriation, but was assured that if the legislature finds it possible to increase the appropriation of the other institutions, Southern University will be increased in like proportion. Friday, February 7, 1930 White Editor Says Race Will Advance Politically, Socially, But Will Become Poorer Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 29-By A. N.P.-The Negro is going to make greater and greater strides politically, is going to improve his social status in this country, is going to show a decline in his religious zeal and is going to be crowded farther and farther out of the economic picture. This, in brief, is the opinion of David H. Pierce, a member of the editorial board of the Cleveland (daily News, who addressed the Sunday night forum at Linwood (Christian) Community Church here on the topic, "The Problem of Negroes in Northern Communities." DEPRIEST THE INSPIRATION Oscar DePriest, congressman from Illinois, is directly responsible for the nation-wide awakening of the Negro politically according to Mr. Pierce. "Congressman DePriest," he said, "is a fearful, logical speaker. He is a fine looking man whose pictures do not do him justice. He is not a great man, but he is a clever politician. More than any other man or factor, he has been responsible for waking up the Negro politically. In Cleveland, we believe him to have been the greatest factor in the election of Mrs Mary B. Martin to the school board. He delivered a speech there on the block system of registration and voting and the Negroes put it into practice at once. You may rest assured that whenever DePriest has addressed a Negro audience of any size, that audience has learned some smart politics. "Every snub by southern politicians and the hostile press has reacted in favor of DePriest and the race he represents. He is treated as a martyr wherever he goes. White people who do not like Negroes in office should treat Mr. DePriest simply as a congressman and nothing more." NO WORSE THAN WHITES The speaker stated that his observation had been that Negro officeholders and politicians were no better and no worse than whites. "In Cleveland we found a Negro councilman guilty of bribe-taking and sentenced him to two years and nine months. A few weeks later a white councilman pleaded guilty to bribe-taking and he got five years."

TWELFTH AND CENTRAL—SAME PHONE. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS BLUE PRINTS TUcker 6431 TUcker 3883 843 PREJUDICE AND SOCIAL EQUALITY Touching on the social status, Mr. Pierce stated that the race in the future would better its social status and be held in higher esteem than at present. He said that in the east the prejudice was on the increase in the middle and lower classes, but that in the upper circles, whites and Negroes were associating on a plane of perfect social equality. NO HOPE IN ECONOMIC FIELD The speaker painted a dark picture of the Negro of the future in the economic field. "Labor saving devices, chain stores and chain banks are forcing him from the present precarious position he occupies, "the editor said." He is the last to be hired and the first to be fired. He has little buying power because he is employed in the occupations which pay the least wages. He has no business and financial structures of his own sufficient to employ even a small fraction of his people. Since these same devices I have named are forcing white men out of work, it will be seen that the Negro, always last to be considered, is in for a dark future. I look for a permanent unemployed class among Negroes, higher death rates, greater crime and greater social dependency." In the question and answer period, the speaker stated that he had no solution for the economic problem of the Negro. He said the effort being made to get them employment in proportion to their standing power would work only where low-priced chain stores had competition in Negro districts. "If the prices are low and there is no competition, the stores will not have to hire Negroes and they won't," he declared. He scored the labelling of Negroes in crime stores and said the Cleveland dailies did not designate Negro criminals. Mr. Pierce is the vice-president of the Cleveland branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In concluding he advised every white person, especially those in public life to read some Negro paper every week, stating that it would broaden their cultural outlook. GIVES NEW SLANT ON ROTHSTEIN New York City, Jan. 27—A new and interesting story concerning the idiosyncrasies of Arbold Rothstein, who was murdered here more than a year ago, was given out Friday morning by Thomas Farley, who served as Rothstein's "right hand man." Farley, who is a college graduate and was connected with Rothstein for years declared that the only safety deposit box was cleverly concealed in the seat of a chair.

GARROTT HITECT 843 Central Avenue If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Montgomery. Ala. Jan. 29—Achieving distinction as the second woman to be legally executed in the State of Alabama since the Civil War and the first woman to be put to death in the electric chair. Mrs. Silena Gilmore, stumbled brokenly to her end Friday morning, having the penalty for conviction of the murder of Rorace Johnson, a white cafe proprietor in Birmingham. Execution took place only after much effort had been made through the courts and public officials to save her life. The members of the state board of pardons and the governor refused to extend clemency in her case. After each member of the pardon board had signed a statement asserting that he could find no reason to extend clemency. Gov. Bibb Graves took a similar position. The case attracted unusual attention because it involved a colored woman and a white man. Negro citizens in Alabama are puzzled because in these affairs involving a colored woman and a white man, or a colored man and a white woman, wherever violence occurs, the law always finds that the colored woman or the colored man is the guilty party. If the white woman kills the colored man, the colored man was guilty of attacking her, and the white woman is justified. But if a colored woman kills a white man, attack is out of the question, and the colored woman must pay the penalty. It all makes a great puzzle. Thus, in full view of six other white persons, a white woman shot a colored man to death in New Orleans last week, crying out that the colored man was a witch. No attempt is being made to find her guilty of murder. They are merely going to test her sanity. Finley Wilson To Again Seek Elk Leadership Finley Wilson To Again Seek Elk Leadership Detroit, Mich., Jan. 29—By A.N.P. —"I'm the Grand Exalted Ruler until August," and then I choose to run," said Finley Wilson here last Sunday afternoon. The Grand Exalted Ruler was addressing the mid-winter confab and pre-convention meeting, of the high powered executives of the I. B. O. Elks of the World with the local convention committee which was held in this city Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, for the purpose of "froining out the kinks" in the old convention sheet which has been folded away since last August; and to lay out and emphasize the well regulated convention plans as well as to officially notify and present to the public the 31st annual national convention of the Elks of the World which convenes here next August. Such dignitaries as Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson; Grand Daughter Ruler Abbie Johnson; Grand Esquire Stephen Rall; Commissioner of Education Judge Wm. Hueston, and Dr. J. Leach, president, Michigan State Association, sat in conference with Chas. C. Diggs and other members of the local grand lodge convention committee which has to go with the successful carrying on of the convention. For the past several weeks some little dissention seems to have been creeping into the ranks of the convention committee here and while not at all violent the sound of "incompetence" referring to someone at the head of the convention committee was heard. Some of the newspapers picked it up and passed it along. If it had been allowed to go unmolested it would have no doubt disrupted the harmony and the smooth workings of the committee as a whole. But Finley Wilson without mincing his word and in no uncertain terms denounced this sort of thing and public asked for the resignation of anyone who felt that he could not function with the committee. "They might as well get out now, if they don't I'll put them out," said Finley. "If any member of any committee gets too big for this job, or if any committee refuses to function and work in perfect harmony with the general committee, or if any heads of any lodges or temples fail to function properly and you can't do anything with them send their names to me. I'll deal with them according to law. When they get too tough for everybody else they are just right for me. If they won't resign, I'll resign them. I do business at 907 You St., N. W. Washington, D. C." Quoting from the constitution, giving the article and number, Wilson spoke of the power invested in the Grand Exalted Ruler when the Grand Lodge is not in session. "I'm the Grand Exalted Ruler until next August, and then, I CHOOSE TO RUN." Sunday afternoon at Central Community Center the Grand officers were presented to the citizens, at which time a public installation, of officers of the various lodges and temples was conducted by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson who had previously delivered a rousing address. These grand officers were most graciously received and Mrs. Abbie Johnson was tendered almost a carload of flowers from the lodges and temples New $3,000,000 Provident Hospital Center, Chicago, including Research Laboratories, Clinic, and Nurses' Home. © A.N.P. AUTHORITY ON SOUTHERN CONDITIONS VICTIM OF CANCER New York City, Feb. 3.—Joseph C. Manning, former Populist leader, state representative of Alabama, republican post master of Alexandria City, Ala., under McKinley and Roosevelt, and lone exponent of justice and equality among all citizens in the south; who for the past thirty years has been a relentless fighter against peonage, disfranchisement and black belt frauds, whose messages attracted national significance throughout the white press north and south and whose vitriolic speeches forced him to flee to the north where he continued to expose the south for its injustice to our group and made him a man without a home; now lies critically ill of cancer of the throat, though his voice is silent, he still painfully attempts to write. Not since the days of Lincoln has a white man come out of the southland imbued with the truth, justice and fair play for our group, had the courage of his conviction; and dared to speak thru press and pulpit of the actual conditions existing south of Mason and Dixon as has J. C. Manning. Today he is on his deathbed, after nearly forty years' battle, realizing his physical condition, and having sacrificed fortune, wife and family of six children and a great future, ostracized and hated by the south, all because he dared to fight for the principles enunciated by Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Lincoln, John Brown, Grant, Wendell Phillips and Roosevelt. Every citizen of color who has an ounce of gratitude should write Mr. Manning. With fortune gone, health impaired and now in need of financial aid is resigned to his fate. Let us not be further charged with ingratitude to our benefactors. A man who has lost wife, and children for a common principle of justice and equality for black folks deserves to die believing that his work was not in vain, and those for whom he fought for appreciated his efforts. Write him, J. C. Manning, 516 Manhattan Avenue, New York City. Litigation Against White Shriners Ends Houston, Tex. Jan. 29—By A.N.P. —The clerk of the court of Harris County has refunded to the Imperial Council of Negro Shriners, through the legal counsel of the Order the sum of $1,090, which sum represented the costs of the original suit conducted by Watkins, White, and Dennison between the White and Colored Shriners in Texas; and which case, won in Texas, was set aside by the Supreme Court of the United States last year. This payment, settlement of which was delayed by the death of Attorney Wilford Smith, marks the end of the effort to prevent Negroes from wearing the regalia of Shriners or practicing the ritual of the organization. All that remains of the matter is the filing of the necessary information with the proper officials in the different states where the Texas idea had found favorable reaction. Imperial Potentate Caesar R. Blake Jr., who sometime since acknowledged of reimbursement of costs from the white Imperial Council, is highly clated at the outcome of the case since it has established for all time a strong protection for all Negro traternal organizations.

PROPERTY STRIFE—RESIDENTIAL WARFARE SPREADING Now, more than a decade after the war, the bitter attempt on the part of white Americans to keep Black Americans restricted to certain areas is becoming more marked and more desperate. Happily, however, the silent battle, analogously to the continuous warfare of economic contenders, has remained mainly within the forum of the Courts, and has been mostly without physical violence. Recently, we were pleased to know that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided the New Orleans racial segregation ordinance unconstitutional. More recently, we learned that Virginia through its Supreme Court, had declared a similar ordinance passed in a principal Virginia city, likewise unconstitutional. Each of these decisions was in accordance with the famous Louisville decision of 1917—Buchanan vs. Warley. But, another instrument of battle is being used now. In fact, a leading law periodical, several month ago, advised its use. It is the Restrictive Covenant. Throughout the United States, the Restrictive Covenant is becoming very popular. Difficulties, based upon it, are coming to light here and there. In the City of Los Angeles, there is a veritable offensive, led, in the main by the Home Protective League against Black American homeowners. The idea seems to be to hit the Colored people in so many places that they will lose courage, and their strength, and stop fighting back. In the Crestmore Tract, where the people had thought their troubles were over, summons and complaints, have just, very recently, been received. In another Tract in the city, similar conditions are prevailing. One of the most prominent of these instances is that in the West 29th Place district. A case was won, in the lower court, by the Colored defendant. But an appeal, now being defended by Mr. Leon Whitaker, in the California Supreme Court, is affecting property valued at more than eighty thousand ($80,000.00) dollars. The Los Angeles Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is vitally interested in each of these cases, and is actively and financially assisting with several of them. In order that the Colored people will not su, entire defeat in this warfare, which is following along lines similar to those of Industrial and Commercial competition, they must hand their efforts, and never cease to defend themselves. LINCOLN'S ANNIVERSARY At a time when more or less in various quarters that democracy is a versary of Abraham Lincoln is an a faith in that American democracy of sertion that democracy does not pro Lincoln is mentioned. In all the pro political society has ever produced possibilities of free manhood. The humbleest youth, whether in the proof that in this land of equal ment by anyone who possesses courage the talent—or as may be, the genius openings that come in his way.

Yet with this unviel as generous, as sympathetic with such could be found anywhere among the who were privileged to see the gentle that countenance which was often down the tradition of its beauty. Abraham Lincoln is the comple racy. He sprung from the "plain p the greatest of men. At a time when more or less irresponsible assertions are heard in various quarters that democracy is on trial in the Old World, the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln is an appropriate occasion for a renewal of faith in that American democracy of which he was the product. The assertion that democracy does not produce great men sounds absurd when Lincoln is mentioned. In all the range of recorded history, no form of political society has ever produced a greater or nobler example of the possibilities of free manhood. The humbleest youth, whether native or foreign born, sees in Lincoln the proof that in this land of equal opportunity there is no limit to attainment by anyone who possesses courage and adaptability, conjoined with the talent—or as may be, the genius—to recognize and grasp the special openings that come in his way. Lincoln had not the advantage that comes from birth in a wealthy family nor the prestige conferred by a great university. He was, in the best sense self-made. His formal schooling under frontier conditions toalled less than a year. Yet by natural worth he rose to be the head of this powerful Republic, and when there guided its destinies through the tremendous crisis of the Civil War with a masterliness that compelled the homage of the rulers and peoples of Europe. In that almost miraculous firmness can be seen by all men the mettle of democracy, the unrelenting purpose of the man who had fought his way upwards. Yet with this unyielding rigor went a nature as kindly, as generous, as sympathetic with suffering or grief-stricken humanity, as could be found anywhere among the teeming millions of men. Those who were privileged to see the gentle smile of pity that often transfigured that countenance which was often described as homely have handed down the tradition of its beauty. Abraham Lincoln is the complete vindication of American democracy. He sprung from the "plain people," whom he loved, was among the greatest of men. February is an especially satisfier.

A half dozen catalogs, a comfortable chair, a warm room, and a credulous imagination constitute the equipment needed for growing a splendid garden—in winter. The results of one's efforts are much more nearly perfect now than will be possible next summer. One needs merely to look at the vegetables, fruits and flowers portrayed in the catalogs and let fancy have free play. The advantages now over endeavors later lies in that one does not have to spade refractory soil, does not have to contend with frosts' effect on tender plants; there are no blights on gardens in imagination, floods do not drown or dry weather wither, bugs do not consume nor do the forays of neighbors' chickens exasperate. It is the only perfect season for a garden. Only at this season can one hope to reach the perfection in products which the catalogs nortray. One's hones steadily vanish as one progresses from the anticipation to the realization, therefore let anticipation have five play now. Realization will be enough of a disappointment at best. "Aim high" is an old maxim. Surely the seed catalog designers do not offend in not placing the goal high enough. Their standard often outlofts the lofty. As spring comes and one takes up the practical phases of the problem of a garden the prospect will appear less promising. It is easier to plan hard labor than to perform it. There is no excellence without great labor, the old-time copybooks told us, and that is the reason February, or thereabout, is the best time for growing a garden. It doesn't require much labor. Next summer it will be different. Do it now. WEALTH AND ENVY People who wish to be loved by quire, great wealth, for there appear ing the enmity of society than by e People who wish to be loved by their fellow men should never acquire, great wealth, for there appears to be no surer method of attracting the enmity of society than by exceeding others in amassing money If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened and property. It is not that the masses do not covet wealth, but this reaction to the Croesus is a natural product of the human trait of envy and of centuries of persecution, and exploitation of the poor by avaricious and cruel tyrants. There have been many rich men who justly deserved the hatred of all mankind, but their infamies and man's own envy should not cause society to distrust and condemn the living rich who cannot be charged with injustices and who have given much to their fellow men. And yet there are millions of men and women, supposedly intelligent and fair, who condemn all rich. The common people are spontaneous and unstinting in their praise of those who serve well in public office, of those who advance the science of medicine, of the inventor, the teacher, the explorer and others. When will man give the full measure of honor and gratitude to the rich men who are today endowing educational institutions, maintaining research work, making public gifts of priceless works of art or of whole libraries, museums and art galleries? what it should be, although it lacks many essentials.

Millionaires are not compelled to give up fortunes, but philanthropy and generosity seem to be traits no less human than envy. The man who sings while feeding the furnace may be either an optimist or crazy. The contest for California's chief executive promises to develop into an interesting foursome. Controller Ray Riley drove off. He seems to have some trouble at the "Economy Bunker." District Attorney Buron Litts is the second to "tag off." He swings a mean club, has a good grip but, owing to bad coaching will be heavily handicapped in the going. He also will have trouble in putting at the economy hazard owing to the fact that his mentor had, or has, a hazy conception of what club should be used. So far, both entrants have the same difficulties in getting past that "economy" bunker and are liable to stick right there. There is a vast difference between economy as it was exemplified in the game of the former administration, and wise expenditure. San Francisco's Mayor, James Rolph, Jr., is contemplating entrance but says that he will not "age off" unless he has a "good gallery." If all reports are true he will be an entrant. Runner has it that he has a big array of rooters from over the State who are anxious to see him make the drive from teg. In the meantime, the main entrant, Gov. C. C. Young, is sorting over his clubs and saying nothing. The Governor has had considerable experience at the Economy hazard. It will not prove any obstacle to him. Wise disbursement of the taxpayers money insures him a loyal gallery of enthusiastic fans, and when he makes the drive you can look for a "hole in one." His opponents will have to search with microscopic minuteness to find any fault with his previous style of play. In the language of the green, he has not "placed to the gallery," but has steadily progressed, making every stroke a winning one. His final will show a score card never excelled in the economic history of the State of California. * * * * The rumor is that a political "entente corliale" between former Governor Friend Richardson and candidate, aspirant, for governor. Buron Fitts, exists. The former governor giving his support to Fitts who will reciprocate by boosting the Richardson candidacy for the Togs of the present United States Senator, Samuel Shortridge, whose term of office expires two years hence. Meanwhile the politicians are wondering what stand the Shortridge cohorts will take in the coming contest. If the rumor be true they are shut out from the Fitts-Richardson combine. They have been antagonistic to the present administration; to cover in the same bed with the Rolph contingent will be—to say the least—incongruous. So there is but one haven for the boys, Rav Riley. Politics make some strange bed fellows and it will not be much of a surprise to pull down the covers and see some strange mixups. A political satire, "The Blundering Herd," was put on recently in Elks Auditorium. It satirized the methods used by our Congressmen in "passing the buck." "Smoke" DePriest was one of the characters. The appellation, "Gunmen's Artillery School of Chicago" was attached. He was in splendid company, a few of the satirized were "Buffalo" Bill Borah; "Wild Jack" Moses; "Rule" Brookhart; "Duce" LaGuardia; the "Prex" Hoover, and numerous others including "Tom" Hefflin. Kaptain of Ku Klux Kollege. It was an amusing skit and the characters were well portrayed. We have been scanning closely the daily papers to see if "Lom" Hefflin Alabama has not had read into the record his protest on appearance on the same programme with "Smoke" DePriest. Humor is a saving grace. It is good to laugh at one's self. Look up your idiosy-synastry, toibles, and your "serious" attitude in non-essentials. Hold up the mirror; get a good reflection of self; see ourselves as others; see us; then have a good laugh. It will do worlds of good. The recent Race disturbance in California between whites and Filipinos is to be deplored. The men who contract for Filipino labor, are to be censured if not condemned for their attitude. The ranchmen claim that white labor cannot be obtained in numbers, and that they do hire is inefficient. White men unemployed, say it is impossible to procure work because Filipinos work for less than standard wage. Whose fault? Is not the' cupidity of the employer to blame? Why should it be necessary to hire Filipinos? Seems to the "man up a tree" that resentment should start at the root. The recent bombing of a Filipino rooming house which endangered the lives of some seventy-five persons, including women and children, did not clarify the economic or industrial situation. It cannot be accomplished by violence; it is estimated that about 15,000 of the Filipinos abide in and about Stockton. That city seems to be the base of supply for Filipino labor through the San Joaquin Valley area. Whatever might be cause for the clash; industry or the asserted propriety of Filipino men and white women, it can be settled by the authorities. The state has an 'Industrial Relation Department,' headed by Will J. French, that department should be, and is, able to cope with any economic or industrial crisis. Trust the Sta. Obey the law! One of the main hopes on which national prohibition was based has been blasted. We refer to the faith placed in the abstinent habits of his youths of the Nation. It was hoped that as the years of prohibition passed the coming generation would abhor the use of intoxicants. Seemingly: the reverse has been the case. Older people were not expected to break off entirely from the habit, but as the younger generation super-secured them prohibition would become a fact. At the national convention of the Anti-Saloon League it was admitted frankly that millions of boys and girls under Prohibition had fallen into habits before unknown among people of their age. Even in the days of the corner saloon such was not known. Lawful supervision made it an impossibility. Fanaticism killed the only hope for teetotalism. If ever the wave of frenzied zeal, created by extremes of both views, subsides; the sanity of temperance, through education might be revived. In San Francisco, California, there is a recreation center named for the great Negro educator, Booker T. Washington. It is the most potent factor in the Negro life of the city. While it is a beneficiary of the Community Chest, under the guidance of its efficient, executive secretary it has been more than fifty per cent self supporting. Starting in a ramshackle building the quarters have been remodeled into a semblance of what it should be, although it lacks many essentials. In making her annual report of the year's activities Mrs. Ethel Riley. Clark the executive secretary visioned what the Booker T. Washington Center meant to the life of the Negro community in San Francisco. She plead for a building that would house and accommodate the numerous activities which, from necessity, are scattered. A gymnasium, swimming pool, club rooms, all of which are curtailed for want of adequate quarters where they might have trained supervision. This plea was made at the annual banquet when over one hundred and fifty friends of both races gathered to partake of the bountieous feast prepared by the queen of caterers. Mrs. Elemming, and the president of the board of directors, Mr. Whitfield. When the master of ceremonies, J. H. Butter had made a few prefatory remarks. Mr. Jack Fisher welcome those present; Mr. Minor Thompson and daughter rendered a duet; the inimitable Jefferson Wilson's magnificent baritone was heard in two numbers. Henry of radio fame, sang to his own accompaniment, an original melody and there was community singing led by Mrs. Clark. The speakers of the evening were Supervisor Jack Spaulding and Julius Hola of the State Prison Parole Board. Both speeches were enthusiastically applauded by the banqueters. All in all, it was a memorable evening and many were of the opinion that it was an epoch, visioning in concreteness a start toward the dream of its executive secretary; a better building. Mrs. Ethel Riley Clark and her able assistant Miss Dorothy Fisher, both trained welfare workers, are doing a magnificent work in moulding the characters of the young people whom they contact and it should be the aim of the community to aid morally and financially their goal for a bigger, better Booker T. Washington Center. The Board of Directors presented Mrs. Clark a beautiful watch. It was a token of their appreciation for her unselfish devotion to her work. Senator Blaine Depicts Root of Evil in Haiti Washington, D. C., Jan. 29—By A. N.P.—It came up to Senator Blaine of Wisconsin in Wednesday when the members of the senate were being asked by Senator Borah to appropriate $50,000 for the expenses of a commission to investigate conditions in Haiti to brush aside the confusing camouflage that has been constructed to conceal what is happening in the Island. Senator Blaine objected to the appropriation and to the commission. He stated that he felt that anybody who wanted to already knew what was wrong in Haiti. Addressing the president of the senate, he stated: "It does not take very long to determine what is the matter in Haiti. The trouble in Haiti is that there are a lot of carpathagers there who are living upon the toil and misery of the Haitian people. There are men like Doctor Freeman, who is at the head of what is known as the Technique Institute, who draws a handsome salary out of the treasury of the Republic of Haiti, who receives his expenses and maintains himself as a sort of king in a foreign land, and who is hated by the Haitian people as he ought to be lured by them Haitian people. "It would not take very long to investigate that situation. It would not take very long to investigate the situation concerning General Ku-sell. It would not take very long to investigate the insults that have been given to the natives of Haiti by American officers down there which as a matter of fact, precipitated the recent trouble in Haiti. "It would not take very much investigation to ascertain that those carmichaelers in Haiti are expending practically the entire Haitian customs receipts, to a large extent expanding the income of the Haitian government, in building across that Republic not the benefit of a few American armed and military officers, in order that they might be able to drive their high-powered automobiles over those highways. "I cannot see any reason or excuse for appropriating $5,000 to be turned over to the President with which to make an investigation to justify the perpetration of American occupation in Haiti." "I myself observed a highway in that little Republic, a highway built over the mountains towering six or seven thousand feet high, the like of which is found only in the Rocky Mountain region of our own country, costing perhaps $150,000 or $250,000 a mile. Yet Haiti the natives either go on foot or ride on burros, the native transportation systems of the Haitian people. Millions of dollars are thus spent for highways the Haitians cannot use. Far better if these millions were spent on schools and for the eradication of disease in the interior, these people are not prepared for that type of highway any more than we were prepared for such highways a hundred years ago. As a result, the natives bringing 50 or 60 cents worth of produce to the market at Fort an Prince and other market centers of Haiti are driven off the highways; they must take to the gutters along the roads. "It does not take a $50,000 commission to determine what is the matter in Haiti. The President himself has it within his power to correct all the evils which now exist in Haiti. The President has the power to bring about reform in that Republic. The necessary reform is not a reform of the Haitian people, it is a reform of the Americans in Haiti." Authorization of the appropriation for the commission sought by President Hoover was held up so that the senate might become informed of the position of Senator King, a member of the foreign relations committee, on the recommendation of that committee as presented to the senate by Senator Borah. ATHEISM BY: CARL ECHOLS The dictionary defines atheism as "disbelief in God." Inidibility is defined in similar terms. Gae doubts the thoroughness and accuracy of this definition. We wonder if it wouldn't be better to say that an atheist or infidel is one who disbelieves the orthodox theological god. Let us venture a diction of God: "God is every person's highest conception of that abstract "something" that creates and sustains the universe." The American Indian calls this "Something"—the Great Spirit. The Chinese call it Tao. To the Hindu it is Brahman. The philosopher calls to The First Principle: atheists call "it cause and effect, natural laws, energy and matter, etc. To the Christian, God is a Havenly Father." Hastily we are apt to embrace the Christian's definition and ridicule all the others. But this snap judgement is both unscientific and unsound, for the Chri tianus (despite their assumed all-wisomen) are just as ignorant of the origin of creation as are the most materialistic scientists. Let us prove this statement. For centuries scientists and philosophers have been searching for the explanation of the origin of life. Lives have been spent in this labor and volumes have been written. And have these cooks, scientists and philosophers discovered the secret of life? No! The any tery is as unsolved as it ever was. These learned patriots sought to discover the First Clause by means of pure intellect. They have failed, to date. Now the Christians and Spiritualists in church. They would take Heaven by storm and wrench the secret of creation from the archangels. They involved via occults, mysticism, and meditation. To take, the First Cause remains unknown even to these cockerel ideists. Then whose idea of God is correct? All of them! The Christians sneak of Providence; but the materialists call it Gratification. Whether we call the Creator electricity and other or Johann mattes little. These are names of the same "Thing"—the infallible Creator of the universe. We make God in our own image. And since our finite minds are limited our conception of God is limited. There are no Abelists. Everybody believes in God. Some call Him by the name and some by another. WE NEVER KNOW! (BY GEORGE S. SCHUYLER) Because we never know when we are going to die or what our financial condition will be when we do, most of us have life insurance. Most of us have the feeling that we prefer a final resting place in the cemetery rather than the Petter's field and want to leave something instead of nothing to those near and near who survive us. Because we never know when the house in which we live is going to catch fire and destroy all of the things we have labored for and treasure, most of us who are wise have fire insurance. We know that every article of furniture, every picture, rug and book represents a certain number of hours labor and loving care, and if we are to lose it in a fire, we at least want to get back the money we paid for it. And so it it goes with us in business and travel. We might get injured or killed on that trip to Chicago, Boston or Atlanta, so we take out travel insurance. We might have our place of business broken into and robbed, so we take out burglary insurance. Circuses and fairs insure themselves against inclement weather, dancers against foot injury, ships against delay or catastrophe. Even nations have in their armies and navies a form of insurance against invasion. How much more logical is it that Negroes in America should take out insurance against the many ills that are liable to befall them at any time because of color prejudice and discrimination. A Negro dies but once, very infrequently has his home gutted by flames, seldom has his business burglarized and does not often meet Friday, February 7 1930 BY: THE DEACON POLITICAL DUPLICITY Every politician seeking public office Starts out with a good intention; His good deeds are recorded, But his evil deeds, he forgets to mention. The candidate for public office, Is crafty, cunning and adroit; He makes all kinds of promises, The unsuspecting voters to ex- ploit. He declares if he is elected, Vice and crime he will suppress; Taxes will be reduced, And humanity will be blest. He stands upon a platform, Built of falshoooh and deceit; And tells what he will do, When he takes his seat. When the votes are counted, And his election is assured, He boasts about his influence, And the victory he has scored. Before election he promised jobs, To forty workers or more. And now these unpaid workers, Are knocking on his door. Many others were promised money, For the part they played; But now they are convinced. That their confidence was betrayed. Now the successful candidate, Is in a precarious condition; The workers have failed their claims, Before the State Labor Commission. Some of them are rejected, Others are ordered, paid in part, But a majority of these workers, Give up with a broken heart. All who were promised jobs. Are more persistent in their demands. But they realize that their hopes are based Upon false and sinking sands. When the election is over The winner soon forgets. Those who placed him in power, And his pre-election debts. The man seeking appointment, Has been a political tool. As such appointment would violate, The Civil Service Rule. Stephens administration was a failure Richard-sons' was the same. But Young is a man of words. He kicks the political game. Young and his migrating Council, Moving from place to place. Looks like a political gesture For the coming Governor's race. Like a band of roving Gypsies, The Council holds a joint obate, With Oninu of Ku Khux fame, Guiding the ship of State. If aspirants for the Governors office, Want advertisement, and cheap publicity. They should hold a grand reception And serve their guests with Tea. The administration of President Hoover. Is acclaimed with joy and glee. Because at the annual reception The guests were served with Tea. with an accident while traveling, but he is always liable to experience some form of racial discrimination or segregation that hurts pride, prestige and pocketbook. Since we well know that this can happen to any Negro it is strange that so few Negroes see the need of taking out insurance against such an eventuality. There is absolutely no guarantee that any individual Negro will not get into some brawn through no fault of his own that may end in serious injury to him. There was recently an instance of that in New York where Negro riders in the subway were set upon by white sailors.4 The N. A. A. C. P., took up the outrage with the Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard and as a result that officer issued a general order to all of his men warning them against attacking Negroes and even permitted Negroes to seek for the culprits on board the battleships. Again a man moved into a house in Jamica, New York, in a so-called white district. His windows were smashed by white hoodlums and the peace and safety of his family endangered. The N. A. A. C. P., got immediately on the job, had a policeman assigned to protect the family and made a search for those who had threatened him. It seems to me that the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, which is our only organization offering protection against the many ills that beset us as Negroes, is an excellent insurance against the increase of these ills. For that reason Negroes who hesitate to support it or quibble over giving such support for ennish and narrow reasons, are just cutting off their nose to spite their face. Those Negroes are indeed blind who cannot see the necessity and value of the insurance against injustice offered by the N. A. A. C. P. --- THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE "They shall not hunger nor thurst, neither shall the sun smite them, even by rivers of water shall He lead them." I have inserted that verse before my sketch of Miss Burroughs, because as an eternal promise of the Almighty, it suggests the king of material upon which Miss Burroughs has based all of her efforts; an unshaken faith in the promises of her Maker. In sketching Miss Burroughs' life one cannot go very far without speaking of the concrete evidence of her personality, the Nati nal Training School, for this school is Nannie Burroughs; her entire being is connected and fused with its welfare; and as, is Prof. Kelley Miller has said, "as much the outgrowth of her personality, as Tuskegee was the projected shadow of Booker Washington". The most remarkable feature of Miss Burroughs' venture in establishing her school, is the fact that it is the direct product of the singularness of her personality; singular, in that it defied even the advice of her closest friends to put her school in the south, instead of in the nation's capital But Nannie Burroughs was right, as some of those same friends will tell you now, for the one beautiful romantic spark left in the nation's capital, romantic in that it represents the upward climb of one who has kept the faith, one whose personality alone, as a basis, has created something tangible, and coded it to the progress of a race is the story of Nannie Burroughs and her school. As an example of her tenacious personality, we quote her answer to Prof. Kelley Miller, at Louisville, quite sometime ago, after he had suggested that she plant her institution some place else, as Washington was already full of schools. Prof. Miller quotes her as answering "even if the schools were as thick as the tiles on the houses I am going to plant my school in the midst thereof, and that right early." To my mind, no other statement ever made by this truly outstanding personality, sums up the trend of her greatness, the almost fathomless depths of her trusting soul, as this. Miss Burroughs was born in Orange, Virginia; and at about the age of five years, moved with her mother to Washington. To quote Dr. Pickens, in his "Nannie Burroughs and the school of the three B's," "The battle of this young woman for an opportunity began before she was out of school. She had been promised the position of assistant to the domestic science teacher, and had shaped all of her studies, her plans and conducted accordingly. The position of assistant was open; she did everything to merit it. She could do the work, and we have, in recent years, often heard her former teachers proudly proclaim from the public platform her superiority as a pupil and student. But she was doomed to ugly disappointment. In spite of promise and open understanding, she was mysteriously sidetracked, and was not appointed to the position." But she did not stop, and we cite the incident to show that even by the time she was ready to strike the chilly waters of a rather cruel world, she had already been introduced in striking terms to the disconcerting ghost of disappointment; to the harshness of human inconsistency; and hence by the time she was ready to found what, in all probability, will be a lasting memorial to her name and personality, she had "steeled" her face, as it were, to criticism, and daringly pushed on to her mark. Indeed that was greatness of personality. It is not our intention to survey the resources and assets of the training school that Miss Burroughs has founded; for we are writing a personalities, but if it were, it would indeed be an ultra romantic story, from beginning to ending of how one great woman dreamed of how she could help other women; how after much battling, on a six-acre plots of land, mostly on a hill, and lastly in and old eight room house, she began to make her dream come true; and lastly, how in less than twenty years that dream has come to represent a property value of more than one hundred thousand dollars, and an immeasurable amount of work done in bringing the woman of a rising race "unto here." Another truly great characteristic of this "maker of things" is that she takes unto herself little or no credit for the great work she has done. In a recent letter to me, in answer to my missive, announcing her selection, she wrote: "I appreciate your kind consideration, but my good friend, I am not among the immortals. I am just beginning to get our work where it should command the support of people who believe in helping those who help themselves." If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened of personalities, on the banks of the romantic Potomac, still striving to make tangible her dreams, still pushing onward toward her goal; her goal of unselfish purpose, to contribute her bit to make an assured fact of the assertion, "WE ARE RISING." THE NEGRO NOT A BEGGAR THE NEGRO NOT A BEGGAR May I have space in your paper to give expression to my feeling, wrought up by the many articles appearing in my paper, written by supposed representatives of the Negro race. I shall be glad to inform the reader that the writer of an article entitled "The Negro A Beggar," has not yet surveyed the field of Negro Economics. I shall be pleased to differ from the writer without prejudice. It does seem that the race has produced men who in return for the acumen and stamina given them by this begging and otherwise unscrubulous race; now stand upon tired, brawn and broken bones of those who tutored him and point out the mistakes and shortcomings of his ancestors, who had no kings for ancestry (forgetting the Ramesine of sixty centuries ago) and no background of economic and industrial thrift. One might as well disclaim the home of his birth, or tear the faded picture or a Father or Mother from its hangings upon the wall. It is to be noted, however, that those who criticize and exploit the mistakes of a race find a lucrative field in this mass of black people who are only babes nursing at the breasts of its Saxon civilization. What do we know of organization other than was told us, what of economics, more than is allowed under the rays of a Caucasian civilization? The only thing for which the Negro begs is standing room and a place to pray, the organizes it is under a law made by the state, and his purpose in organizing is not to court the favor of any man or race for the purpose of striking back, but he is tiking his early step in the science of economy and human welfare; ever looking up to the standard or national progress. In this, another is holding his hand and directing his step. It is true that in some cases political misfits have exiled the Negro in politics—in this, the Negro has admitted that he is willing to be led and seeing his white brother organized and committing his allies to a few leaders he feels that he may safely do the same. His mistries are not intentional. The writer will admit that all races have and do make mistakes; races who boast of centuries of civilization behind them, and races who gave us our language and system of education which we grieve with no reluctance. These make the same mistake as that attributed to economic weakness. If the League of Nations carry: If the late President Wilson's 14 propositions find place in the affection of the world, if prohibition be effective to who fawter the 18th Amendment, to who will be the 18th with glove, and the thought of men will follow around the infested ambition of a few. The time spent in getting white people to think well of us has been wisely spent. Our achievements in the past sixty-five years; our ability snatched from our poverty, our masterly mind that cope with the most learned, is sufficient to gain for us a place in the sun and the respect of all sensible people. The Negro doesn't want pay for doing these things, nor does he whine at the door of charity for a discarded mantle with which to hide his dark skin. To see the Negro as playing to the galleries by his organizations; is to under-rate the strides he has made in these few years along the path of economics. Such judgment passed upon the race shows plainly the incompetence of the judge. In this day no one is blind to all that pass upon the race, and I do not know of an independent organization existing by itself and supported by itself, nor do I know of a race who does not seek to co-operate with other races or nations for a better place and mutual peace. Independency is to be found only among canibials—Our great national organization is so constructed as to invite the trade and exchange of other nations. A government whose laws are defective cannot have credit in the outside world. Negro organizations as referred to that have for its object filching and decoying from the white folks is the same as any dive controller by the gambling force who filch from the whosoever, this type of organization does not represent the Negro in the economic and business world. A "Pat on the back," is an appease if you have run well, if you're not patted it is evident that you are behind in the race. We have millions who have never bowed their to Baal, nor kissed his image. That we are 'nerry' is true—we ask for a job because we are fitted for it—deserving Negroes never fight back. He who would succeed seek to make friends. Now such an indictment as that referred to if believed, is calculated to elect every Negro from the employ or whites in this country. No man will continue to feed the hand or the arm. The man who doesn't need letters, needs boosters. Now if a race 65 years old can produce men and women in so short a time who can capable to fill second place of honor and trust with a race 600 years their senior, I consider it a most remarkable fete. Now, let us come to cold facts—what commercial enterprise has the Negro that can exist independent of the white race, or what hold has he upon the government under which he lives? Why don't some of our critics move up and show the rest what to do by doing it. The critic standing on the outside laughs at the sage who lives in a log cabin, the sage is sheltered—but the critic has not where to lay his head. If we are not to solicit funds for Religious and Educational purposes why don't our critics set us free by building such institutions independent of philanthropy of our country? Now, let us have the white race withdraw from all our institutions their financial support down to the gardener, and then let us say to them we do not need your help—will the critic supply the deficiency? I should say ont. If we would not have Negro clerks in white places let us draw the line and give them a place. It is not true that the Negro take these courtesies as inimical to his progress only those who are color blind see things that way. If our complaint about lynching and disfranchisement is an indication of our economic weakness we may take our seat beside our white brother who complains of the same. Finally the white man is going ahead and the Negro is going with him. We are not whining nor beginneth, we are helping the world citizenry to fill the gulah of want and ignorance. We must pull up to our own by those who have upreceded us. Now then, if it is economic weakness please take us into your gymnasium of economical development. If we are beezars, please, we are welcome, we are table. Friend this is a day to talk, talk, talk, talk against us will not add to our statue, it brought many out of the employ of the whites upon whom we must depend for support. Show us what you mean by doing the thing talked about. Romohus talked, but Rome blossomed after 100 years—Casar talked, but Brutus had quietly won the applause of his country—Thotmes talked, but 50 moons hence found the Pyramid standing in the desert of Gobi. Patrick Henry talked, but backed it by examples. Crisp Attucks talked, and faced the fire on Boston Common. Now, let us not criticize, but do something to awaken our race to a sense of personal responsibilities. Remember, everybody read "The Eagle," and a misrepresentation of facts may lead to the dismissal of more laborers from the jobs they now hold. By: R. N. HOLT. D. D. Are Uneducated Negroes Superior to Un- educated Whites? BY JESSE O. THOMAS (For The Associated Negro Press) There is a very desperate effort being made by the several southern states to change their rating and comparative educational standing through an intensive illiteracy campaign, the primary purpose of which is to reduce the number of people who cannot read and write by the time the 1930 census is taken. Apparently there is no real effort at giving or increasing the equipment of the people to the extent that their earning power or cultural status will be affected. In South Carolina one of the items stating the purpose of the campaign is "To teach in one week all who cannot, to write their names." According to the 1920 census there were 38,742 or 6.5 per cent of white people ten years of age and over, who could not read and write and 181,422 or 29 per cent Negroes ten years of age and over who could not read and write. Instruction has gone out from the Departments of Education of both South Carolina and Georgia advising local superintendents to pay white teachers $2.00 per night for teaching classes of fifteen persons and over and to pay Negroes $1.00 per night for the same classes. The total appropriation per pupil is $3.91 for whites and $1.42 for Negroes. Does this mean that Negroes can learn so much easier than white people that BIG BEAUTY CONTEST ON 1 WISS EUNICE FARRINGTON One of the Prize Winners in a Recent Bathing Beauty Contest As a tribut eo glorified Afro-American womanhood, Mr. Hampton, proprietor of the Tivoli Photo Studio, 4215 Central, invites girls and young women to participate in a Photographic Beauty Contest for nearly $1000 in prizes.

Capacity Audiences Appland Roland Hayes Capacity Audiences Appland Roland Hayes City after city our southern and eastern states have crowded auditorium and stage to hear Roland Hayes as in the new year, he has resumed his sixth tour of America. A few of his recitals in January are thus described in the press: PITTSBURG Post-Gazette (Harry Gaul). January 8. 1930: "Distinguished Negro Artist Keeps Audience Spellbound At Carnegie Music Hall Concert; Applause Overwhelming. Come, 'I'm Gon-na Sit Down'! A whole race passed in review. You could have heard a pin drop or your Ingersoll tense, and then came applause, great, gobby, hand-pounding applause and people meant what their hands told. And there was philosophy, satire, religion, romance and imagination in every line, and some of us banged for the singing and some of us banged for the glory of the tune and text. Which is all about Roland Hayes, last night at Carnegie Music Hall; Roland Hayes, the superlative artist." ROCHESTER Democrat and Chronicle (Stewart B. Sabin), January 11, 1930: "Roland Hayes sang last night in the Eastman Theater to an audience, the members of which were seated not only in the auditorium seats but in stage seats; and people stood. Returning season after season to attract a Rochester public of this size and constancy constitutes a remarkable record. Hayes makes remarkable records wherever he goes; from the first he has done much more than an yoptimism could have forecast for him. And hearing him sing again and again and noting as his peculiar excellence the tervor of his singing, one is led to imagine that the wonder of it all is still with Roland Hayes, working against the routine sophistication which so often is an influence with successful musical artists." TORONTO Mail and Empire (J. S.), January 14, 1930: "Roland Hayes' Voice Greater Than Ever. The famous colored tenor was in exceptionally good voice, noticeably better even than on his last appearance here, and produced in all his registers the same velyness, huscic quality of a sort of the Negro teachers will not have to exercise as much effort in teaching them as the white teachers will in teaching the white pupils and therefore should be paid only half the salary received by the whites? If 29 per cent of the Negroes are without education as compared with 6 per cent of the whites in South Carolina, the greatest effort should be made on behalf of the largest percentage of illiteracy, but wherever the Negro is concerned, consistency or logic has no standing. organ timbre, which distinguishes him too mother tenors, more robust, but less velvety. He displayed some truly remarkable notes in his bass octave, which wree surely baritone in character, and passages of thrilling high notes, always impeccably in tune and free from any trace of over-vibrato." BUFFALO Courier-Express (M. B. BUFFALO Courier-Express (M. B. S.). January 16, 1930: "He has passed far beyond the sensation of the hour—he has achieved greatness. His is a voice of peculiar appeal—not a big voice, but one of extreme suppleness and warmth, with moments of lyric beauty that are enchanting." BOSTON Transcript (Alfred H. Meyer). January 16, 1930: "The oft seen railings were in place on the platform; between them no more than narrow passage way for the artist, Mr. Roland Hayes, to go to his place before the huge company of listeners. And as eye left the platform, it observed in the side aisle people standing, shoulder to shoulder, along the length of that long aisle. To the statement that the house was "sold out" one could not make the most infinitesimal objection or reservation. Mr. Hayes stands before his public not in any sense a vocalist, but in every sense a singer. The distinction is vital. Many of the greatest singers have been negligible as vocalists, while Mr. Hayes, even as vocalist, can claim powers far, very far, from being negligible. Further, and not in a derogatory sense, Mr. Hayes is essentially a miniaturist. The cameo in music is his field. In songs in which cameo-like arts of defination and interpretation can be exercised Mr. Hayes seems to be without a peer." Former Kansan Dies After Long Residence in Los Angeles Former Kansan Dies After Long Residence in Los Angeles Many friends in Kansas and California mourn the passing of Mr. James W. Payne, 1565 West 36th street, which occurred Sunday, January 26th at a local hospital. The funeral which was the largest witnessed in Los Angeles for many years, was held Friday from Trinity Baptist church, the Rev. Dickinson officiating assisted by Rev. Hawes of the Presbyterian church. The latter paid a glowing tribute to the life and sterling character of the decreased, with whom he was intimately acquainted for a score of years. Born in Kentucky seventy-two years ago, Mr. Payne settled in Hiawatha, Kansas when a young man, where he was held in high esteem by all who knew him. It was here that his children were born, reared and educated. In 1905 he decided to come west, setting in Los Angeles where he has since resided. He was an employee of the City of Los Angeles, and being a thrity man, managed to lay aside a comfortable little fortune. He was a high degree Mason, being a member of Golden Leaf Lodge No. 57 Hiawatha, Kansas: Lincoln Chapter, No. 2; Cyrene Commandery No. 3, Knights Templar and Oasis Temple, No. 25, Topeka Kansas. He was also a member of the Forresters, under whose auspices the funeral was conducted. Deceased is survived by a wife, Mrs. Bettie Payne and three children, Mrs. Mattie Brown, Ernest Payne of this city and Leslie Payne of Chiego San Bernardino Citizens Form Unity Club Last Monday evening was one long to be remembered by the citizens of San, Bernardino. The occasion was a mass meeting held by the newly organized Unity Club of that city of which Mr. J. W. Andrews is the presi- dent. A verp appropriate program of musical numbers was rendered. Mrs. C. A. Bass, managing editor of the California Eagle was the speaker of the evening and on this occasion particularly so one who was present. I'll forget the impassioned plea she made for unity and progress. She held the audience spell bound for more than one hour and stirred San Bernardino citizens as they have never been stirred before. Enthusiasm reached its highest ebb and a unanimous vote and invitation for an immediate return engagement. Editor Bass who was present was introduced and congratulated the club upon its program for unity. Mr. E. L. Dorey, editor of the Exhaust column was introduced as was also R. G. Lamar of the Eagle's advertising office. DUKE ELLINGTON AND BAND BROUGHT TO TALKING SCREEN AT TIVOLI THEATRE What is said to be the last word in talking picture short subjects is the note struck by "Black and Tan." Radio Pictures' all-talking short feature starring Duke Ellington and his band, coming Sunday and Monday to the Tivoli Theatre, "Daily Murphy," director of the picture has taken Herlem for his locale and for his story a slice of life in New York's famous black belt. Striking use of the camera characterizes the picture. The night club sequence in which Ellington and his band hold the floor with Freddie Washington, the Harlem dancer, was photographed by an unusual method which heightens the entire effect of the scene. Shots of the dancers were taken from an ordinary angle; then, as the chorus moved out over the glass floor the scene were taken in such a manner that on the screen they appear to have been photographed from below the floor through the glass. In the closing scene Murphy had his characters so grouped that they cast gigantic shadows on the wall of the room in which that part was made. As Duke Ellington played the "Black and Tan Fantasy" the chorus swayed back and forth in time to the music and the moving shadows on the wall build up the impressiveness of this scene tremendously according to the advance reports. "Black and Tan" New Departure in Short Films "Black and Tan." Radio Pictures' all-sikking short feature starring Elisa Elliott and its band which comes to the Twin Thieves on Monday is heralded as a distinct departure in the realm of the short talking film. It is to be distinctly understood, according to advance reports, that this is not just another band picture. Two or three jazz selections with a couple of specialities is not Radio Pictures' idea of what film entertainment should be. "The musical selection featured in "Black and Tan" is Duke Ellington's own composition, "The Black and Tan Fantasy." With this striking combination of haunting melody and barbaric rhythm for inspiration, Dudley Murphy conceived the story of "Black and Tan." New York's Black Belt should be the locale and the plot should be simply a happening in the life of its self savage, half-child-like people. He visioned the sharp contrast between the glittering Harlem night clubs and the dingy flats. Careful attention to detail marked the filming of the picture. Every effect that could be heightened by novel use of the camera was filmed in unusual fashion. The result was a sophisticated, gripping piece of drama and when "Black and Tan" was given its premiere at the Globe Theatre in New York it drew the highest praise from the critics. Sunday, February 9th will be a high day at the Los Angeles Forum which holds forth at Masonic hall on Central avenue near 12th street. Fitting ceremonies honoring the memory of three great characters, Lincoln, Douglass and Old John Brown of Osawatomie. Music suitable to the occasion will be rendered, and addressed by Hon. J. C. Banks upon Lincoln; Mrs. Sadie Cole will deliver a eulogy on Douglass while the Eagle editor will speak for John Brown. It is self-evident the memory of these three immortal characters will never be forgotten by the Negro race. Therefore in anticipation of the fact of the great appreciation which has been ever the lot for this people the Forum has arranged to take care of the great crowd which will be on hand Sunday, for truly a heartfelt gratitude goes forth for those who pave the way for the future generation and generations to come. Everybody is invited. Meeting be- San Diego A banquet was given in honor of Rev. and Mrs. P. P. Pope, pastor and wife of Greater Mt. Zion Baptist church.

Mrs. Malone Gives $1,500 In Chicago Hospital Drive (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Feb. 4.—The generous gifts and fine interest of the colored people themselves have been responsible for the remarkable response of wealthy white citizens, as well as the support given by white people in various walks of life in so marked a degree according to Dr. Frank Billings, chairman of the Provident Hospital Campaign who was speaking to a southside meeting last Monday. Two incidents stood out in his mind he said. First, a group of sixty colored nurses met and pledged themselves for fifteen hundred dollars. Then a colored woman, Mrs. Annie M. Malone of St. Louis, who was not even a resident of Chicago, sensing the national character of the institution, which as a teaching and medico center is to draw both its staff and other officials from various sections of the country, gave fifteen hundred dollars. Contrastine Dr. C. K. Bartlett, a white woman formerly of North Carolina, where her repeated defense of Negroes in letters to the daily press attracted the attention of William Pickens and the N. A. A. C. P. is now a resident of Chicago and on the staff of a woman's hospital. "My means are meagre," she wrote, "but I want to give five hundred dollars to this wonderful effort." It was this sort of evidence of self help that resulted in some two hundred thousand dollars being given by colored people, that made white citizens so much better able to give, feel that they must stretch to the limit of their ability, he said. He pointed out the nothing in recent years in Chicago had had so striking an effect on racial relationships as the campaign for Provident Hospital. Vice Lords Guilty Of Bootlegging East Chicago, Ing.
