Officer Sheffield, but dismissed by the
same jury that convicted Sheffield, ap-
peared before the Board af Police
Commission for reinstatement, ‘they
were told ‘that as “Association begets
afsimilitation,” in. other words, the
fact that they-had been thrown with
Sheffield in discharging their duties ‘as
@fficers, caused some of the commiss-
ners to feel that they were of ne-
cessity a part of Sheffield’s bribe col
lecting program; according to charges
brought against this ose time star of-
ficer of the police force.
We certainly are against crooked-
ness within and without’ the police
ranks, but these young officers, Wash-
ington and Dunn, it occurs to us, are
pitiful vctins of system of institut
ed vice by higher-ups in the police de-
partment, and it is a sad coinmenta-
tion on justice for them to be ruth-
lessly thrown out when others cited
on similar charges—some of more se-
rious nature—have been reinstated.
‘One commissioner said that__he
could not help but believe that Officers
Dunn and Washington were acquaint-
ed with the unlawful acts of Sheffield.
Ih answer to this, we are wondering if
it is a part of the instruction given to
officers upon their advent into the po-
lice department to keep an eye on iel-
low officers and from time to time re-
port any acts or deeds whatsoever
they may see that might be construed
derelict of duty.
In conclusion, Honorable! Roard of
Police Commission, why not reprimand
these boys and give them a break
with the understanding that__ they
themselves must aschew evil in the

It seems that the gods favor some
while others toil into the ‘night for
the’ betterment of social. and economic
conditions. t
‘Some years ago when ‘Los Angeles
was taking no thought of new arrivals,
especially those classified aa’ “colores,”
a woman whose position as a trained
nurse among her own people, had
awakened her sympathies and sharp-
ened her intellect as to. their. needs,
started a work that was destined to
grow and become an important factor
in the social and economic welfare of
the Negro.
Te was at the time when her life was
in full blaom, when she set herself to
the task of accomplishing that which
she considered a part of her program
of progress. The individual of whom
we speak is none other than Mrs. Kath-
erine Barr, who by her own initiative
and single handed effort started the
Los Angeles Urban League.
The work as far as the general pub-
lic was concerned, was so insignifi-
cant in its beginning that few people
knew of its existence; but now that it
has reached such proportions in the in-
dustrial personnel of Los Angeles, it
has come to us that there is some ar-
gument to the effect it-has outgrown
its female founder. .
Jt has been more than a year since
we have had time to shake hands with
‘Mrs. Barr, but here in our niche, which
we too created for ourselves, we reach

NEW ORLEANS, La. Feb. 18—
It required just five minutes for a
jury in Federal Court to -accept the
word of Charles G. Arnett, accused
of operating a speakeasy at 326 North
Villere Street, against the combined
testimony of four prohibition agents.
The jury, after its grief deliberation,
found Arnett not guilty. Arnett plead-
ed not guilty to the charge, but hatino
witnesses other than himself, and did
not have a lawyer. The dry agents
testified they had arrested him in the
place.
“I'm not the man, judge, your hon-
or,” said Arnett. “I used to go in
there sometimes an deat, but I just
ain't the man who ran that place.”
‘The jury took his word for it. Ar-
nett has spent the last three months

‘Kanscs City, Mo., Feb. 18—Word
has been recetved by Mrs, Mary Har-
ria Wallace, 2928; Jarboe St, this city,
that she has won a fortune of six and
one-balf million dollars as her share
of a ten-year legal battle ‘with the
‘Texas Oil Company in the courts of
Tulsa, Okla.
Mrs, Waliacp learned of ber wealth,
she says, in a lohg distance telephone
conversation with her lawyers in Tul-
sa. The total emount won fromthe
ofl company was thirteen millions of
dollars, but by contract, one-half of the
‘sum went to the law firm which han-
dled the cat through the long fight.
FROM 200-ACRE FARM
‘The wealth comes directly from a
200-acre farm just north of Tulsa,
‘which was left to Mrs. Wallace by her
gratidmother, Mrs. Nancy Brown, who
was three-fourths Indian.
‘According to Mrs, Wallace, the Tex-
as company has been drilling on the
farm for the past nineteen years and
in that time has disputed her title and
paid no royalties. The sum which she
Teceives now is what the court judged
the should have been entitled to over
all the years.
Oil is still being pumped from wells
on the land) and Mrs. Wallace left
Friday for Tulea to take over Uitle to
her farm, crrange payments of royal-
tes and dear up the little business of
six and one-half millions.
IN HAULING BUSINESS
Mr, and Mrs, Wallace have lived in
Kansas City since 1919.. Sho. was
born in Scooba, Mississippi, and liv.

‘What will they, do after they make

BALTIMORE, Md., Feb, 18—It took
a jury incrimina} court here Tuesday
only four minutes to agree on @ ver-
dict of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, without commentation for mercy
after the trial of Lorenzo Price for
the killing of Renben Heyman, white,
on January 2. The verdict carries the
deat penalty.
Price was gccused of the murder
‘of Heyman and assult on bis compan-
fon, Dorothy Burgess, white, after he
had forced’ them ‘to drive to a lonely
place in the country.
‘An effort was made by the defense
during the three-day. trial to show
that Price and the white girl were
sweethearts ond that Heyman had
sour to. break up thelr trtendsbip,
but his consideration had no apparent
effect on the jury. The lawyers for
Price claimed that he and Miss Bur-
gets had met at an Interracial dance
and had been keeping company since,
The return of the quick verdict,
however, indicated that colored men
with white sweethearts jn this city
run the same risks, if their sweet-
heart is caught in a compromising
position, as they do in cities farther

‘Young felt that the man was going

A REFLECTION
BY JAMES & HARRIS, Jr.
As we sit in profound silence and observe activities of injustices exhibited and manifested all around us we are forced to advance the doctrine of Confucius, who, although he has passed, has perpetuated himself in the souls of mankind. "Evaded justice will ultimately overshadow wrong doings."
Another philosopher has also wisely said, "The law of right can never be thwarted long; for there is no virtue so truly great and god-like as justice."
It appears that from the beginning of the ages, according to historians, man has been confronted with the problem of equality before the law. The principle of Justice has proven to be the string upon which the pearls of history are strung. Theologians advance the same premises.
Now, Americans, the renaissance and reformation periods marked new eras and created new epochs. How will twentieth century Americans deal with this problem under our Constitution? Will they stamp indelibly the ideals and principles of Justice on the wings of time and let it rise and kiss the sun in the essence of the morning light? Or will they sit supinely by and ignore these principles for which their forefathers fought? Is the task too arduous? We know our Constitution does not subscribe to segregation or inequality of any type or in any form, for it is the greatest single document ever stricken off by human or mortal hand.
Americans can think, write, and consult, but can they or will they act?
pate annually.
Last year, young athletes developed on the local playfields won first and second place in the senior division and second place in the junior division in the national final meet at Atlantic City, and other playground youths will try to retain these honors for 1930. Although the winning of these honors demonstrates the excellence of local youth in athletics, playground officials state that their aim is to concentrate on the activities for the mass of boys rather than for the few.
CITY TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS AT STAKE
With the finals in the men's singles, women's singles and men's doubles of the fourth annual Los Angeles Open Tennis Tournament today a matter of history, attention next Sunday will be focused on the mixed doubles teams entered in the tournament, according to the announcement of the Playground Department.
Play in the mixed doubles began Sunday with several outstanding combinations entered. Among the strong teams in the competition are the family combine of Gerald Bartosh and Esther Curtis Bartosh. Leonard Dworkin and Dorothy Workman, Ellsworth Vines and Helen Marlowe, C. Mako and Gladys Patz, nad Jack De Lara and Beth Taylor.
Beautiful trophies which will be presented to winners in the various divisions of the tournament, together with medals and trophies awarded by the Playground and Recreation Department in other sports under their sponsorship, are now on display in the window of the Citizen's National Bank at Third and Broadway.
NEW BASKETBALL LEAGUES START PLAY
Play was last week started in a new lightweight division basketball league at the Echo Playground community clubhouse, it has been announced by the municipal sports division of the Playground and Recreation Department. The league is composed of the following eight teams: Apalba Playground, Salt Lake A. C., Montana A. C., Watts playground, Compton playground, Evergreen playground, Echo A. C., and Recreation Center.
First round play also began in the newly organized Hazard Valley cage league. The Playground Department reported. Quinnies representing Sierra Park Athletics and Indiana A. C. won their first games, while the squads of Rose Hill, Jordial Clah and El Seven wrote the index.

NEW ORLEANS, La. Feb. 18—Charles Guerand, emergency supernumerary patrolman, attached to the Tenth Precinct, was booked in that station Monday night on a charge of murder following the death in Charity Hospital at 11 o'clock of Hattie McCary, 14-year-old girl. Guerand, booked early Monday night with shooting and dangerously wounding, was ordered dismissed from the police department by Superintendent of police, Theodore A. Ray when information of the shooting late Monday afternoon reached police headquarters.
The girl, who lived at 3228 Gravier Street died after suffering for several hours from a bullet wound of the right temple and another in the abdomen.
According to Corpal William Milton of the Tenth Precinct and Assistant District Attorneys Michael E. Culligan and Albert B. Graniz, Guerand, off-duty and in civilian clothes went to the restaurant of Matt Apiscun at 3037 Tulane Avenue, where the girl worked.
Guerand is regularly assigned to track duty at Tulane Avenue and Salcedo Streets, Corpal Milton said. Going into the rear of the place, police allege that the patrolman made advances to the girl and an argument ensued. According to Assistant District Attorneys Culligan and Cranzin, to whom Guerand made a verbal statement, the girl reached for a knife, threatening to kill him. He is then alleged to have pulled his revolver, and fired at the girl, two shots taking effect. An ambulance was summoned and the girl taken to the hospital. Corpal Milton arrived and placed Guerand under arrest. Guerand is said to have told Sergeant Joseph Cassard, special to the superintendent of police, that he had been drinking steadily. Guerand is 29 years old.
CLOSING THREE WEEKS SUCCESSFUL RUN FEATURING KENTUCKY SINGERS
Miss Elise Gilbert of the First National Studios stopped the professional show at Curtis Mosby's Apex Nite Club beautiful.
The pretty little star is known as the "Sweetheart of the Blues" and she really chases those blues away. Miss Gilbert is scoring hit after hit at the famous First National and she came down on the Avenue to show us in the flesh what she could do.
SINGS BLACK MARIA
A cold was plended as an excuse to withdraw from doing a number, but the guests insisted and as all great stars do she did what her public wanted and started to warbling—Black Maria, made famous on the street of all streets—Broadway—by Paul Whitman and his world reknown Rhythm Boys. And what did she do that for? That just brought on more applause and more of the same. It was imperative that she do another number and she obliked this time with "Do Something," in a most pleasing manner.
CHARLEY OLDEN DOES BIT
Charley Olden the little short man of the world famous Lafayette players was there at a ringside seat and you all know that Charley rivals that high-hatted king of jazz Ted Lewis, when it comes to singing blues right and left.
Miss Ruth Givens, formerly of the Lincoln chorus was there looking prettier than ever. Man alive she is one wonderful piece of brown-skin
beauty. "At the End of the Road" was her selection and she improves with age, that is as far as beauty is concerned.
Cliff Richie of the Cotton Club was basking in the spotlight for a full fifteen minutes Wednesday night and how that old boy can go. His name must be Joe, because he really goes. "Old Man River" and "My Sin" was his offering.
Jack Williams closed the pro night by winning the dancing contest from Sugar Foot Brown in a tight like that struggle.
SHOW CLOSES
In closing the show Babe and Eddie Matthews came to the front with their dancing hit. Ivy Anderson, the far West's Ethel Waters, chased Blues all over the place, and little Lee Young broke them down with "One Sweet Letter from You."
Things noticed while strolling around:
Jim Porter, the golden trumpet player thrills them again, as only Mr. Porter can do. Overheard at various tables while making the rounds, "He is as good as Louis Armstrong, isn't he?" Take it on Jim. * * Walt Richardson of Australia singing from his table, "Smiling Will Carry You Thru." * * Curtis Mosby greeting his guests at the door with that winning smile, you know how Curtis smiles. * * Ashford Hardee sliding all of the slide off his trombone. * * Les Hite and all of his Junior Hites at ringside tables. * * Pretty Mildred Washington doing her stuff, snaking a snaky old snake hips. * * Getting heavy eyes around about now and take it on from 41st to somewhere else.
Manager Kush of the Gayety Theatre announced today that he had concluded negotiations with RCA Photophone, Inc. New York City, for the installation of its sound, reproducing equipment in his theatre. In making the announcement Manager Kush said that the equipment would be shipped from New York immediately and that installation engineers would arrive within a short time.
"It is with a great deal of satisfaction that I make this announcement," said Manager Kush. "Having had many opportunities to see various types of sound reproducing equipment in operation in various theatres, it did not take me long to come to a decision when I saw and heard the RCA Photophone projection apparatus in operation. In my opinion, having made comparisons with other sound reproducing equipment, it is the best. The invasion of sound into the motion picture industry presented a great problem to the exhibitor and particularly to the small town theatre owner. Coming as if did, almost over night, there immediately followed a wide variety of so-called sound projection apparatus, and while many exhibitors in the effort to meet the competition, installed models of the first equipment they could acquire, I made up my mind to await developments.
up my mind to await developments.
"Dependent solely upon those who have so liberally patronized my theatre in the past, I felt obligated to give them the best sound reproducing equipment available. Therefore, I investigated a number of theatres where various types of sound projection apparatus had been installed and not only heard the sound delivered by them but carefully inspected the machines in the projection rooms.
"When I learned that RCA Photophone, Inc., was a subsidiary of the Radio Corporation of America and that its own engineers, along with engineers of the General Electric Company and the Weatinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, had built the sound equipment, I became convinced that it was the apparatus for my theatre. Having satisfied myself on this point, which, in passing, was the most difficult problem I ever had to solve, I hope the patrons of the Gayety theatre, and in fact everybody in this community, will endorse my judgment."

POLITICAL POT PIE
Governor Young was a Los Angeles visitor nearly all of the past week and it appears will until theides of next August pay his respects to Southern California frequently indeed. Of course for this attention, we are sure there is a reason.
It seems at this distance from the August primaries there will be a deal of activities for almost every office in the state, incumbents are challenged at every turn. Here's hoping the best men and women may win.
James Alexander, pioneer, resident, former Federal office holder, informs this writer he will be a candidate for the assembly against the incumbent, Assemblyman F. M. Roberts. We also learn from other sources Big Jim has just sold his Eagle Rock holdings for some 30 grands which will provide him with the sinews of war for a real campaign.
things hum in that bailiwick.
Senator McKinley and Senator Chas. W. Lyons will be the runners up in the race for the lone Senator from Los Angeles County in the August pri-
maries.
Judge Carlos Hardy is a prime favorite for a strong support from the plain every day common people. This situation exists because of the fact that his life and service have been a
With the entry list filling rapidly, all is rapidly rounding into shape for the second annual Tennis meet which has become an important feature event with the local race public. For aside from the increased interest in healthful outdoor sports which it encourages it reveals to other races the interest in self-improvement prevailing among modern progressive Negroes as to physical, mental, and economic welfare.
Miss Otis (Baby) Wiggins, talented, athletic Jeff High School student has charge of one list or entries. The names of the contestants for the prize trophies signed up by her are as follows:

I met last Monday the only Negro employee connected with the Goodrich Tire Plant, which manufactures the paying monthly in wages over 250 thousand dollars.
He was chauffeur for the president at a salary less than $200 per month. Anc just to think of that! Our folks, believe it or not, alone, pay by purchasing Goodrich Tires throughout the nation, enough money to pay the wages of these 1500 workers.
In the Goodyear plant, out on Central avenue, which employs approximately the same number, the company has as yet to employ the first Negro, though thousands have made application.
There are some one or two concerns that employ a heavy percentage of our group and the product they turn out is the equal of the product of those that boycott you. We will, ere long, furnish you with their names that you may at least, if you have race pride and believe in the American Negro being given a chance in preference to the foreigner, patronize them.
We learn that the dining room of the Dunbar is to again open its doors. This time as a dine and dance night club. Really it looks like it's hurting the heart and soul of certain folks to see Curtis Mosby deliver the goods in a business way. It's allright for white folks to get rich off the Negro spendthrift, but all wrong for a smart Negro to make a dime off the offspring of his former master. No sirce, and the Lincoln Coopartition of Hermerica isn't going to stand for it, said the one-legged man with two eyes who patrols information beat.
Harry Levette whose national reputation as a publicity artist is so well known is, we notice, again feeding the reading public with interesting news items in the Eagle. P. S.: London papers, please copy.
The political fruit tree is about ready to bear fruit and folks are gathering round preparatory to picking up some juicy plums as soon as the tree is shaken by those seeking office. Owing to the fact that we cannot be depended upon to vote we will simply have to content ourselves with the plum-seeds while the other fellow gets the meat.
We have in our midst a business Negro who is capable of taking nothing and making something out of it. This he has proven more than once and he is no less a person than H. A. Reeves. We believe he is one Negro capable of teaching few many fine points in the way of business financing.
We didn't know that there were so many grass widows in L. A. until a certain individual brought a very sick newspaper here from San Diego preparatory to burying same. The widows we understand are busying themselves collecting sick benefits in the form of subscriptions.
At last those interested in the financial success of the Masonic Hall at 12th and Central, have woke up to the fact that their tenants were due at least a clean, comfortable meeting place and so they have caused same to be thoroughly renovated. We understand that in addition to putting down hardwood floors that 18 cases of soap, 4 dozen cans of dutch cleaner, 15 gallons of coal oil, 20 gallons of paint and many other things necessary to acquiring a healthy place were used. Well, anyway, from appearances so pains were spared.
It looks like the dear Reverend that was sent here to preach the gospel and started out preaching separate schools has really stirred up something that may eventually cause him to make his exit. We wonder what presupposition he'd prescribe for the hungry sufferer that sought to enter heaven through the portals of his church?

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
Would he accept or turn down his application to join because he was white? "I would."
Last Monday night, we noticed some 16 ugly men and handsome women in attendance at the monthly business meeting of the Eagle. All were connected in one way or the other with this progressive paper and much was accomplished in strengthening the well established fact that it is the best, and biggest newspaper we have.
The spotlight was focused on Madam Bass who fired the meeting with soul burning enthusiasm.
We learn from reliable sources that that there were so many Teas held last Sunday at various homes, for various causes by various clubs and individuals that there is a shortage of Lipton's products this week. We hope each succeeded in raising enough to at least pay the Tea bill.
Getting out of a barber shop chair after having had the surplus growth somewhat amputated by the barber who charges fifty cents for a dime job, our ears heard one called gentleman employed by the city express the following wishes regarding one of his fellow brothers, also employed by the city. Says he, "Now listen, as for dat saphead, dares only one thing I craves and wishes and dat is that the Supt, of the Santa Fe would let me hook a ring in his nose, fasten it to a stout chain, which in turn would be fastened to de rear end of the observation car of the Santa Fe limited bound for Chicago, nine hours late, with instructions to make up de time between Los Angeles and San Bernardino and give me de pleasure of occupying the engineer's cab with my hand handling dat throttle dats all I wish. One thing sutten, I sure would carry out instructions.
The Eagle Eye
(By JAMES S. HARRIS, Jr.)
Maceo B. Sheffield was denied a new trial, on Tuesday, Feb. 18th before Superior Judge Emett Wilson in Department 21, off two counts of bribery, for which he previously had been convicted by a jury of 7 men and 5 women after deliberating 24 hours. He was sentenced to from 1 to 14 years in San Quentin on each count; sentences to run concurrently. A stay of execution, pending an appeal, was granted, however, by Judge Wilson on the motion of defense attorney, Thos. P. White.
James W. Tylor (white) whose preliminary hearing was held in Div. 1, Municipal Court, Judge Raymond I. Turney, presiding, on Tuesday, Feb. 18 on charges of manslaughter as an outgrowth of the running over and killing of Walter Hawkins, colored school boy, on Feb. 6, was bound over to Superior Court. Detective Lieutenants Robert F. Green and Homer Garlick, of Newton Division handled the investigation.
Det. Lieutenants Olivas and Kunz of Newton Detective Bureau, apprehended a desperate criminal on last Tuesday in the person of Elbert Castro. Elbert is considered the world's youngest thief. He is 9 years old and ran away from his parents who live at 710 W. First street in this city, about two weeks ago. He has been a ward of the juvenile court before on similar charges of stealing, but was released to his parents on good behavior. Olivas and Kunz are placing in the juvenile again this time to stay until he has been trained properly. The charge this time is stealing two lawn mowers. Elbert has developed quite a vocabulary for his descriptive adjectives are very vivid and highly complimentary. Detective Olivas has recommended soap.
Ruby Tucker, 630 1-2 E. 35th Place was arrested Tuesday by Sargeant Adam and his squad from Newton vice. The officers reported the finding of twenty-one quarts of beer, two pints of liquor and another half gallon jug nearly full of liquor at the above address. The officers had a warrant.
Central Avenue and Vermont Avenue both show an economic need of pawn shop. Here is a good field for the right kind of an energetic young man.
The braggadocio super intelligent complex can never get you anywhere brother, unless, you can deliver. If what you do here is as you have elsewhere, "you are a bust right off the reel." Hot air will not get them. Take this from me, dumb as you by your estimate take us to be out here on these Western shores, we are too wise to fall for carpet-bag, self eulogized bunko men or any other sort. This goes for mushroom or any other holier than thou national character as a failure in running newspapers.

Dear Editor:
I attended the Inter-racial Forum that was conducted at the new Public Library was the most interesting that I have ever attended. It did my heart good to see the large attendance. I especially enjoyed seeing so many different races represented.
These metings will do much toward creating understanding between people. I could have listened for hours at the different speakers as they expressed their opinions. I shall make it a point to attend all the meetings. I wish they were held every Sunday instead of just the first and third Sunday.
Dear Editor:
The inter-racial Forum meeting held at the Library Sunday taught me many things. I was born in Germany and had no race prejudice until I reached the United-States of America. The Americans told me that the colored people were a degenerate inferior race. I am glad to say that I find them to be one of the most precious races that I have ever known.
PABLO MANLAPIT TELLS OF ATTITUDE AT HOTELS
INTER-RACE MEET IS BIG SUCCESS
The meeting of the Pasadena Inter-Racial Forum in the Public Library Sundav afternoon was well attended and all enjoyed a live and representative discussion of inter-racial problems. Pablo Manlapit, well known Filipino editor, was the speaker of the day. Discussing the problems of the Filipinos he touched on the recent so-called race riot in California and said that while the element of jealousy entered into the matter, he felt that it was the result of a conspiracy of certain elements who desired to create public opposition to the entry of Filipinos into the United States. "If the Americans," he said, "have the right to enter our country and exploit it, has not the Filipino the same right to come to the United States?" Besides, to stop the Filipinos coming into the United States would be an infringement of the Constitution of the United States, so long as they are living under the American Flag."
The speaker gave full credit to the United States for the material progress made during the years of the American occupation, but said that the Filipinos nevertheless desired to be left to fulfil their own destiny in their own way. The Filipinos have no quarrel with the American people and want to be friends. They hope to obtain their independence in a peaceable manner. In asking for freedom they are merely asking for the fulfillment of pleagues made by the United States. The question of fitness to govern themselves was settled by a president of the United States nearly ten years ago.
RECITES PREJUDICES
Afr hearing so much talk about American democracy Mr. Manlapit was amazed to find so much of racial discrimination in the United States. He has himself been refused service in an American barber shop and the only way in which he could gain admission to a large American hotel dining room was as the guest of two prominent white Americans who had to personally beg permission of the hotel management. The speaker could not understand this attitude towards people with a darker skin, particularly as he understood that racial superiority is not recognized by scientists. In speaking about Katherine Mayo's book "The Isles of Fear," in answer to a question from the floor, Mr. Manlapit said that it was written in a purely commercial view point of those on whom she depended to buy the book.
The ensuing discussion by Filipinos,
Hindus, Samoans, Koreans and
American Negroes brought up many
varied racial problems and viewpoints.
Some very interesting points were
brought out by a woman in the audience
who has lived in the Orent, knowing
personally many Filipino leaders.
It is planned to continue these
interesting and instructive meetings
holding them on the first and third
Sundays of each month.

Dear Editor:
I have greatly enjoyed the inter-
racial meetings you have had in Pasadena I believe that race prejudice can be largely overcome thru social contacts by the breaking of bread. For when two people sit down at meat together they become relaxed and human. I would certainly suggest more social contacts as a member of the white race I will say that some of my most charming friends are colored and I would not exchanged them for any in my own race.
Yours for a Better Social Order,
RUTH SKEEN
OPEN LETTER
Dear Editor:
Just a few words about co-operation among the colored people in Pasadena, as you know I have been oper-
ating a Gasoline station at Walnut and Pasadena Ave. more than three months.
Of all the leaders, the educated, and best thinkers, you would be surprised if I should give you the names of the few who have been regular and faithful supporters.
Some say they did not know about my station. I consider that a poor excuse after three months for it has been properly advertised not only through the papers, but broadcasted through most of our Churches, circulars were carried to the homes, and also left in our places of business.
I must say that many have come in for a few times, and a few still drop in every once and a while, but they do not stick; if I am to be successful I need their steady support. I think that it is high time that we as a race should begin to pull together more and support our business enterprises. Remember where there is unity there is strength.
OPEN LETTER
It is quite necessary that race prejudice cease its activity. Why are the Europeans so prejudiced against Asiatics? If Jesus Christ were to visit the western world he would be ostracised because he came from Asia. Race prejudice is foolish. I have travelled the world. In various countries I have met Negroes married to white women. As a rule the women were very intolerant and beautiful. In India, South Africa, and England I have seen some of the most beautiful English women married to very black Africans. They get along very well and seem to love each other. Many of their children attend the various European colleges. I say this to say that we are all of one blood. The time will come when the American race problem will be solved by the Amalgamation of the bloods of the blacks and whites.

Long Beach Notes
BY ELINOR R. WASHINGTON
After a brief vacation we are again on the job and proud to say we are still advancing in every respect.
First, we are quite interested as well as proud of a group of men and women who have organized a social charity club called the Jolly Twin Club. It was organized about three months ago at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Howard. It is the only club of its kind in Long Beach. A social meeting held once a week where "500" and whist are the features, and the problems of the needy are discussed. It is remarkable how the club is progressing in actually helping the needy. For example: at Christmas they donated five baskets of groceries. They have visited and helped the sick and sent several floral pieces.
A club of this kind cannot receive too much encouragement and praise. The president is Mrs. Bessie Thomas. Mrs. Evelyn Morris is secretary, Mrs. Howard, treasurer, and Elinor R. Washington, reporter.
Mr. S. L. Morris of the C. S. S. Maryland is home with his family for a brief stay. He will leave on the fifteenth for the East coast.
Hear ye Hear ye! There will be Gale Ball in the near future given by the Elkos of this city. Watch for the date and be ye prepared.
We're glad to see Mrs. Malesia Clavton again in our city. She has been visiting friends in San Diego and Portland.
Among the strangers who are making their homes here for an indefinite period are Mr. Edwards Banks and Geo. Robinson, formerly of Oakland and now working at the Pacific Coast Club.
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Gilmore are the proud possessors of a beautiful Auburn. They expect to go slow and see the fown.
When hungry or thirsty, be sure to go to the La Verne Cafe. Courtesy and Service is its motto. They are centrally located and can't be beat for food. It is under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lewis-1224 California avenue.
Miss Lucille Martin, niece of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Owens is making a wonderful record at L. B. Junior College. She deserves much credit.
A very enjoyable evening was spent last Sunday at the home of Mrs. L. H. Howard, where Miss E. R. Washington had as guests from L. A. Miss Eunice Taylor, Miss Lenora Brodie, Miss Lucille Johnson and Messrs. Theo. Thomas and Geo. Rougee of Oakland.

"Usually the mother, is blamed for the improper care of her child. Sometimes she deserves such criticism, but many times she does not. The father is as much to blame in many instances and again he alone may be responsible for the poor condition, or death, of his child. But never mind who is at fault, the infant must suffer just the same. Do you call this a square deal for the baby? Of course not.
"Then for the sake of humanity, be human, and give your baby a fair enance to live, to be well and happy, and to be able to take care of himself and perhaps his mother and father later on.
Your baby does not say whether he

Remember that your baby does not have anything to do about coming in to this room, you will bring him here therefore give him a chance.
"The life, health and normal development of the child depend largely on the health and protection of the mother. A mother can injure her child as much during the nine months before birth, as during the nine months after birth. The chances of an infant's living depends on sufficient income for family needs; health and right living of (both) parents; protection of the expectant mother from overwork, under-feeding and worry; skilled supervision during pregnancy and confinement, rest and adequate care during the lying-in period; maintenance of the breast feeding and intelligent mother care in the home."
It will be noted from the above quotation that the part played by the father in providing that his baby may be healthy is considerable and large. Next week we will outline in detail the responsibilities and duties which devolve upon the father to ensure health and happiness to his future

RESENT THE APPLICATION
FOR NITE CLUB ON 41ST
There is a universal uprising manifested in opposition to the application for a permit to operate a club house on East 41st street, just west of the Dunbar Hotel.
It seems to be a case of too much of a good thing and if the protests of the residents in and around the proposed location count for anything the permit will be promptly denied.
One resident said to the Eagle reporter that it takes, a great deal of gall and nerve for any person to, come forth and want to saddle on us another nite club, much less people of the opposite race coming into a strictly colored community, and asking for a club, it is the acme and paradox of nerve.
We stand for Mosbv's club on account of his sterling worth and his genuine interest in the progress of the people, but if anyone thinks we'll stand for this proposition they have another thought coming.
The application is put in the name of the Lincoln Hotel corporation which is the same ownership as the Dunbar Hotel.
Give us 50c and win one of the many prizes to be given Tuesday, Feb. 18th, Masonic Hall, 1050 E. 50th St., benefit Sojourner Truth Home.

Lincoln Day Banquet Season's Classic
Lincoln Day Banquet Season's Classic
Eastside Co-operative Improvement Association Sets High Mark
The First Annual Lincoln Day Banquet of the Eastside Co-operative Improvement Association, a creature of the mind of its able chairman and general manager, Mrs. Clara C. Hulbert, launched a membership drive in the midst of one of the most classic affairs ever sponsored in the city of Los Angeles, according to a number of individuals who attended.
A notable corps of distinguished guests including judges, civic leaders, and persons prominent in social and professional circles, gathered around the banquet table.
The pantomime of the "Freeing of the Slaves," originated and directed by Madame Clara C. Hulbert and Louise Beverly, presented an ensemble of eight girls, pupils of Mrs. Beverly in an artistic demonstration which has extracted widespread attention. Jefferson Brown as the slave, bound and shackeled, touched the tenderest and most sympathetic notions of his audience until, when Mr. E. T. Hubert as Abraham Lincoln broke the bonds of slavery, there was a deep sigh of relief. Little Miss Inez Robertson, portraying the rebellious slave, caused a moment of tense emotion and feeling, with her dramatic ingenuity. The participants in the ensemble were, each and all of them, pupils of Louise Beverly, who was for many years an artist pupil of Ruth St. Dennis
A quartett, Ursula Adams, Marcia Paumann, Portia Lewis and Ella Van Vactor, interpersed the pantomime with the Negro Spiritual, "Go Down Moses."
Judge Carlos S. Hardy delivered a masterly address on Lincoln. Attv. Willis O. Tyler in his characteristic forensic persuasiveness held his listeners at a high interest as he talked of Lincoln. Mrs. A. O. Wilson, self-possessed and dignified, brought the message of that greatest Negro who came up from the dust of human degradation to the hall of immortal fame. Frederick Douglass. Mrs. Erwin P. Werner, prominent civic and social matron, urged a closer study and a more active affiliation with the program of the great Republican party.
Among other interesting speakers were, Mrs. Everett Bodine Latham, member of the Board of Trustees of the California institution or Women; Chief of Police, Roy E. Steckel, Mr. Ben H. Graham, Attorney Hugh Macbeth, Bathy, Keith Garlin, former secretary to Governor Young and Director of the State Department of Professional and Vocational standards, Dr. T. L. Griffith, Dr. William R. Carter, Dr. Wilbur C. Gordon, Mrs. Betty Hill, Councilman E. Snapper Inram, Hon. Frederick M. Roberts, Dr. E. R. Driver, Atty. Leon Whitsker, Mrs. C. A. Bass, Mr. Norman O.

FAMOUS LONE WOLF FORMAI
IS GORGEOUS AFFAIR
Last year the members of the Lone Wolf Social Club entertained guests at a marvelously arraigned formal which was declared one of the most successful, and this year's formal can be classed in the same category. A receiving line of about twenty men created the guests, and instairs those wonderful melody lads, Leon Rene and his syncopators, helped to make the evening a success. The hall was magnificently decorated, and the rostrum on which the musicians were seated, was decorated to predict a scene in the woods, with a stuffed wolf, very ferocius of manner, holding sway over the domin. The whole scene was very well carried out, even to the huts, grass, and flowers. During intermissions, very delicious refreshments were served.
The officers of the Lone Wolf Club are: President A. L. Martin; Vice President Palmer P. Lampkins; Secy. Buck Parker; Asst. Secy. Jesse James; Treasurer Fred Butler; Business Manager E. Smith; Sare-at-arms R. V. Massey; Reporter Eddie Harvey; Critic Roy Moultrie, and sixteen members.

CAN YOU ANSWER THESE?
ANSWERS TO THE BIBLICAL QUESTIONS PRINTED LAST WEEK
No. 1. Yes. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness—2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-20; Jer. 32:26, 27; 2 Sam. 23:1, 2.
No. 2. For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourself; it is the gift of God; not by works lest any man should boast—Eph. 2:8, 9; Rom. 3:23; Gal. 2:16; Luke 16:15.
No. 3. By believing. And Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou he with me in paradise,—Luke 23:43; Matt. 9:9.
No. 4. You, if y u do his will. For as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.—John 1:12; 1John 3:1-2; Mark 3:33-35.
No. 5. God does not damn any man. Man does it himself. God gives man the right to choose Christ or satin; light or darkness; heaven or hell; and each person choose and settles his own destiny.—Josh. 24:15; Duet. 11:26-28; John 3:18; Matt. 16:16.

Dear Inhabitants of earth:
This is the region of blazes and brimstone after all is said and done, this is quite a desirable place.
We have lots of fun listening to the walls of the newcomers at this very moment hell is reverbrant with a distressing out cry. An ex-minister is the cause of the disturbance. He was one of those grasping, enterprising business men who concealed his hoarding propensities 'neath a cloak of religion when the flames have lashed him sufficiently he'll be a well seasoned devil like the rest of us. We are all initiated, and too, we all must become adopted to our new environment. I'd rather be here than any place
pastorate of the church and the $2,500 a year salary. Mrs. Christian contended that she inherited the church which was founded by her husband through Divine Right and that Rev. Stuckey had been illegally elected pastor. The court, however, refused to uphold the contention and Rev. Stuckey will continue to minister to the flock and draw the salary.
O
U. Y. RIL.
Art. C. Custer.
I know. In heaven i tis too monotoneous—dull business that, of walking on golden streets, playing on golden harps and eating manna, milk and honey forever and ever. Here it's more interesting.
Down here all we devils know that everybody else is a devil. There is no chance to deceive. We become used to our new home in course of time, and I would not return to earth if I had a chance.
Up there on earth things are worse than here in hell. I know for I have lived on earth. There they have factories operated by prosperous business men who are not too kind to employ small children. Children whose very souls and bodies are stunted by the work they are compelled to do.
One of your leading citizens has just arrived here. He says that several expectant mothers—working in his factory—died as a result of overwork and under norishment. He said that if he had another chance on earth he would spend his life time in the cause of the cruelly treated shop girls.
Tell me, do your dark races fare any better than they did 50 years ago? Someone told me that in the United States they still lynch the Negroes—discriminate against them in the white churches—hotels—schools—and public places in general. Is this so? Conditions are better here in hell. Maybe things are better in heaven, but a friend just said he heard that even in heaven some of the southern white angels expect the colored angels to do the janitor work—and stay in their places. Conditions are better here in hell.
Do your christian nation still carry Bibles, whisky, dope, and disease germs to the foreign heathens? They die when I was on earth. The christians are a strange group. Ninety-nine percent of the inhabitants of hell is composed of them. We have comparatively few Mohammedans, Buddhists, and other religionists. I wonder why?
I was told that just recently signs forbidding Chinese and dogs from visiting certain parks in China were removed. White foreigners put the signs there. Also I was told that in South Africa native blacks have to get off the side walks when white foreigners passed by. Is this so? I wonder why?
They tell me that the stronger governments, still PROTECT the weaker nations by impossing their own rule on them and then robbing them. How queer! Conditions are not so here in hell. We are at least treated fairly.
Do you still have billionaires and beggars living in the same city? I have never been able to understand the justice of the two great classes on earth; the capitalists and laborers, conditions are not so here in hell.
Well, I must close. But I feel sorry for you people on earth. You are worried with taxes, bills, insurance, etc. Conditions are different in hell. We have no fears, worries, or anxieties. We have no exploiters. And here no one can be a hypocrite for every devil knows that everybody else is a devil.
Well, good bye.
P. S.—We are enlarging our quarters. It is rumored here that you are to have another war soon. Some say 'twill be between the Protestants christians and the Catholic christians; others say either between the white and dark christians or between the christian capitalists and the non-christian laborers.

THE CHURCH TO THE AID OF NEGRO BUSINESS
BX. BISHOP W. J. WALLS
(Chaplain National N. B. League)
In Christianity there should be no such thing as a Negro Church. But there is. In Democratic society, there should be no such thing as Negro business. But there must be. If the Negro does not conquer business, business will enslave him. How he is to become master in the business world is the big question with our group now. What contribution the church can make to this cause that dominates all our practical matters is no less an imperative issue than other prime factors among us.
Since both our church and business, like all other Negro interests, are segregated by racial and social lines, the two logically become interdependent and coterminous. The Negro's church exists along with his business and industrial assets and his business cannot be established upon morality and permanency without intergrity born of Christianity. No part of our civilization, whether in art, science, industry, economics, politics, or religion can be secure without the church and strangely enough true, there can be no such thing as a lasting and constructive Negro church that does not have these factors of civilization to support it. Neither the rule of gold nor the golden rule alone can supply a whole life for any people but both used co-operatively and wonderfully inter-related can produce the much-dreamed of golden era in the life of individuals, communities and nations.
Business can give the church a robust body, the church can give to business an unfailing soul. I was recently in a church where an effort was being made to raise funds for a church college. The two men called to take the collection see saweed with each other to make the offering fail. one said, "If the money were for this church's Building the Loan. I would give a dollar, but I will not give to the cause." The other, who was a grocer gave a quarter and said, "I cannot give more because this church does not help my business by trading with me."
Upon investigation, it was found that the first man was the treasurer fund and only interested in that and the second man runs a grocery store in which he cannot be induced to give a square coal to his customers. The trouble here was that both men were too self centered either to help themselves or the causes that fell to their charge. What we need is not less impatience but constructive impatience. Impatience and intolerance with each other gets us nowhere. Progress is made by impatient tolerating each other's shortcomings, while we respond to each other's call. To aid in the construction of the essential institutions of our progress whether they be churches, trading shops or colleges, all are essential. In them is our supply of food for our souls, food for our minds and food for our bodies; and when either of these essentials does not command interest, we are without an essential motor of progress and self-preservation.
The Progressive Baptist Church
1545 East 23rd Street
We, the members of the Progressive Baptist Church proclaim Sunday, Feb. 16, the Banner Day in the history of the church. The week leading up to this day was celebrated in honor of our 10th Anniversary with pulpit being occupied by visiting pastors, with their choirs.
Sunday morning the pastor preached from the subject: "What is a Church?" We were made to feel very proud of him, who being inspired by his good wife and backed by a staunch Board of Deacons, is making rapid progress.
At 3 p. m. the church was filled to hear Rev. E. E. Burkhalter, pastor of the Beth Eden Baptist Church. He preached from the subject: "Security of Believers in Jesus Christ."
Our hearts were made to burn and many exclaimed "Never did a man preach like this."
Then came the mortgage burning at which service Dr. W. R. Carter officiated. It was a most touching sight to see Mother Watkins, dressed in white, holding tray on which rested blazing mortgage, having been lighted by G. D. Lyons, newest member and Deacon E. Watkins, oldest member of the church, while members and well wishers sang joyfully.
There were many visitors of note—Mrs. W. R. Carter who had accompanied her husband Dr. Carter, Mrs. E. E. Burkhalter and Mrs. E. O. Solomon who never forgets to drop in and leave some words of encouragement.
We are inspired to do more in the future than we have in the past. We invite you one and all to our services. Not forgetting to mention the prime visitors—Our Heavenly Father—thru whom we have accomplished these things and to whom we gratefully give our thanks. We are, The Progressive Baptist Church.
BY ANNA McMILLIAN
The one great aim and desire of all the people is to free themselves and others from the many burdens that apparently hold them in bondage. Such as disease, sin, wants, sorrow and the many problems that appear to take the jay out of life and they are earnestly seeking to understand the truth that Jesus said would set them Free. It is now a demonstrable fact that all difficulties are overcome by prayer which is knowing the truth that sets Free.
We do not join Truth, Truth unites us.

ly fortunate in getting as capable a
man as J. H. Eldridge for Mr. Coffin’s
successor.

By this time more of the stars came

At cleven-thirty, Mr. Devaux told me
to start moving all of the things in
the Wifferent cpmpartments into the

My wife helped me and by noon we

PRESIDENT HOOVER FAILS TO RECOGNIZE BLACK CONSTITUENTS IN NAMING HAITIAN COMMISSION!
Despite the fact that Haitia is a Black Republic and there has been an insistent demand for the appointment of members of that race on the commission by the Congress to investigate conditions in Haitia, President Hoover on last week appointed the committee and failed to select any other persons upon the same except white men.
In this situation there is great disappointment throughout the length and breadth of this country; for surely, all fair minded citizens say, an honest desire to get right down to the bottom of things, then one of their race should have been named on this commission.
However with the events of the past looking us square in the face, it was indeed a forlorn hope to look toward the White House for any sort of recognition worth while or to participate in the affairs of government, even for a citizenship which represents one-tenth of the nation's population.
Finally most if not all of the great statesmen who were sincere in their declarations of the fair and square deal have gone. There are no more Lincolnns, Grants, Clevelands, McKinleys nor Roosevelts and as a consequence what else can we expect?
FGOTISM AND BOMBAST
Flamboyant, bombastic and egotistic declarations of self-appointed and self-declared leaders never have and never will get us anywhere What we need is less talk and more demonstration. Then even the nothing has ever been to pass in the past, there will be a chance for the future. Truly it is a wise man who knows his father.

THE MIGRATORY INSTINCT
That ancient and world-wide sun god, one of whose name survives for the comfort of makers of cross-word puzzles, has had another honor from modern science. The sun is responsible, it appears, for that mystery which has kept so many scientists awake at nights, the mystery of migrating birds. To follow the swallow is not difficult, but what does the swallow follow.

What man calls weather is no key to the secret, for the migrations proceed relatively of undisturbed in cold winters as in warm. The true key lies in the number of hours of sunlight in the day, in the opinion of at least one naturalist.
The length of the day is a constant astronomical differences between years. And for experimental purposes man can lengthen or shorten the day unseasonably within a limited space. This has been done through artificial lighting and has proved quite conclusively that the variation in the length of the day controls the migratory impulse. This impulse may come from glands which have been observed to enlarge or shrink under some stimulus imparted by the hours of light.
Many laymen are not interested in a scientific reason why birds go south in winter and North in summer, but even they detect an interesting connection between mankind and the gland and light theory. That the seasons affect man's feelings is a commonplace with poets, if not with scientists. Is it improbable that some obscure stimulus of the lengthening daws of spring is behind the wanderlust? Is there any connection between modern illumination and the fact that many, who formerly felt the lust for wandering only in the spring, now must resist it the whole year through if they cannot afford to submit to it?

Any city which hopes to become a beautiful, well-ordered, free organic municipality must accept new standards and find ways and means of applying them to itself. Certain it is that any limitations placed upon a progressive municipality should be broad enough to make it possible to undertake such, steps, in the interest of future development, as are necessary to put into constructive operation the new standards which are generally accepted.

In the final analysis, it must be clear that a city which makes a wise use of its opportunities imposes no real burden upon anyone.
Los Angeles is not a perfect city. There is no perfect city. But when the perfect city is evolved there is no reason why Los Angeles should not be that city. Perfection is not merely a matter of population. To the contrary, the perfect city may be the smallest city, but it must be the best place in which to live, the most satisfactory place in which to work and transact business and the most attractive place for visitors. It must be the city which stands out preeminently as the city of friendliness and neighbors—that city that loves to give attention to the little things that make visitors and sojourners desire to return into its fold on every possible occasion. It must be that city with the love of service developed to as high a degree as any city anywhere may hope for and expect.
Cities have the ambition to ascend to great heights when they have built their foundation with an understanding of the main essentials which go into the development of municipal prestige and good will. Without these attributes some cities may become richer and larger, but they do not and cannot become better.
LOS ANGELES' BUSINESS DISTRICT
The present generation has seen the business district of Los Angeles and the individual business establishments of that district spread out and blossom forth like the foliage of spring. The transformation in the general appearance "downtown" has been marked while that of many stores has been quite remarkable.

There is only one explanation for this improvement and that is general prosperity, not here and there a successful merchant but a thriving and progressing business district. The merchants of Los Angeles are prospering and they are passing along their prosperity to their customers and their community in better stores, modern and artistic show windows, more convenient and accessible interior arrangements for the play of their stocks and better and larger stocks.
But there must be an explanation for this prosperity and that explanation can only be more business. More Los Angeles people are buying at home and more people from adjacent towns and rural sections are coming to Los Angeles to buv. Business prosperity here has been built upon a foundation of adamantine rock without inflation or soculation. The business district and its individual units have grown and improved only as rapidly as business has grown and improved.
And here again explanations must be forthcoming. Why this "better business?" Business has always come to those who deserve it. The merchants of Los Angeles have deserved to win the smile of "better business?" Business has always come to those who deserve it. The merchants of Los Angeles have deserved to win the smile of "better business" because they have supplied the stores, the stocks, the quality and the prices to attract it.
There was one good thing about the longer courtship of old times. It resulted in longer marriage.
There is one difficulty about putting to death weak-minded persons. It might include too many.

If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened
This year thirty out of the forty-eight states will choose their Governors. Thirty-six will choose United States Senators. Forty-eight will name and elect Congressmen. The Senators will be elected for six year terms. The governors for terms named by the constitutions of the various states they will serve. California will elect its entire rost of State Officials; one United States Senator; the entire congressional delegation; besides the selection of several municipal and county electives. San Francisco is making a strenuous drive to register qualified voters. The Federal government in the census report is expected to show a material gain in the voting population of California. There will be no excuse for non-registration. The house to house canvass and the many facilities offered has reduced the possibility of an overlook. There are many reasons for the Negro in California to pay strict attention to registration. Many insidious measures are creeping into the courts of justice that threaten the Constitutional rights of the race. The Highest Court of the land has decided against residential segregation; but the enemies of equal opportunity have selected another vehicle, called the Restrictive Covenant, to accomplish the end defeated by the segregation decision. It is pernicious in effect as it will have the tendency to discourage the ownership of property. Ownership without the power to occupy will have a disparaging effect. Such decisions will cause a far flung battle front. It will call for concentrated community effort.

Hon. Oscar DePriest, congressman from Illionis, presented to the members of the House two former congressmen—John R. Lynch, who represented the State of Mississippi in the forty-third, forthy-fourth and forty-seventh Congress, and T. E. Miller, South Carolina, who represented that State in the fifty-first Congress. Dispatches say that they were the recipients of applause. We wonder what thoughts ran through the minds of the members as they looked on the men who ably represented the people of their day: And what were the thoughts of those men when they looked around in vain for faces familiar during their term of office. Until the First Congressional district of Illinois sent its representative every other had come up from the South. It must have set some of the men from that section of the Nation to thinking. They have by intimidation and force eliminated them from representation. Shot gun methods have negatived their rights of franchise; yet there stands before them a visula potent of what was; what is, and what will come. For verily, it is written that as soon as the present crop of self-seeking panhandlers are buried, without hope of resurrection, there will be an increase in national representation for the race.

The Filipinos are planning to stage a big demonstration in Manila when the body of Fermin Tobera, slain in the racial riots between whites and Filipinos near Watsonville, Cal., reaches that city. Tobera will be hailed as a martyr, and his death used as a strong plea for Philippine independence. It is alleged that much of the antipathy was caused by the choice of Filipino workers supplanting the labor of the Mexican. It has been claimed that the Mexican is more tractable than the Filipino, who, though a good worker, demands good pay for his work. As well does he spend lavishly for his keep. He dresses well; many tailors catering to his taste solely. The cry that he supplants white labor is merest subterfuge. There is no call for violence in seeking to curtail their activities in the labor field. Give them the independence which they seek and treat them as all other aliens are treated. If they are classed as Orientals bar them as the orientals are barred. But don't disgrace the fair name of California by reverting to the standards of "Dixie."

It seems an irony that huge sums of money should be spent to enforce the Constitution. And that in a Republic which boasts to the world of its patriotism and loyalty to constituted authority. Thirty-three millions of dollars: That is the sum appropriated by Congress for the enforcement of Prohibition. That $33,000,000 is but part of the huge sum expended to force on the people something that two-thirds of them do not want in its present state. It is safe to say that save the extreme fanatics on both sides, there is not one who would vote to see the old regime of liquor as served in the past return. Not one would stand for the old cornes groggy, nor the private control of liquor. But there are millions who believe that the government could and should have such jurisdiction over the manufacture and distribution of alcoholic beverages that would eliminate the bootleger and stop the orgy of graft which threatens to undermine the structure of our government. It is time for the people to return to sanity. If near the money expended for the futile purpose of trying to enforce Prohibition had been invested in the cause of Temperance the education of the masses would now have been so far advanced that there would not have been need for worry concerning the attitude of our young people in the matter of strong drink.

A very interesting case will be settled in the courts of Los Angeles. It will probably determine the racial status of the Filipino. The decision may place in jeopardy the marriages performed in California between white girls and Filipinos. The mother of Ruby Robinson, 22, secured a Superior Court injunction temporarily restraining the County Clerk from issuing a marriage license to Ruby and Tony V. Moreno, 24, a Filipino. The mother based her action on an old state law prohibiting marriages between white persons and Mongolians or Negroes. The contention of the mother is, that Filipinos are Mongolians. If you remember, the racial status of the Negro was determined by a Tennessee court decision. Seated in an audience recently we counted 97 shades; 103 different features; the complexions ranged from that of the purest "Nordic" to the deepest ebony. It was impossible to discern the difference of hair texture because of the new preparations for dressing it. In all of that vast audience there, were no two alike either in complexion or other thing, and yet, that Tennessee decision made them all Negroes. Should the courts decide that Filipinos are Mongolians the United States will have another racial problem on hand. How can Mongolians be given unlimited entry?
If a man really wants to know of himself, just let him aspire for some public office or achieve something worthwhile. We venture to say that Charles Evans Hughes never knew that he was possessed of so many different characteristics as were brought out in the senate debates for and against his confirmation as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. One thing that every one had to agree on was that he was an able jurist. Borah. Norris and Brookhart were the leaders of the opposition. Brookhart in the course of a speech, said: "If the Democrats were to nominate either Borah, Idaho, or Norris, Nebraska, he would support them against Hoover." "I supported Woodrow Wilson in 1916," he said. According to the designation of party loyalty, can either of those three be tagged Republican? Is there any such "animile" as an Independent Renublican? We always have contended for the regularity of Senator Hiram Johnson. He is Progressive. The Senator has never opposed a measure or an act of the Administration just to be different. His criticism has been of a constructive. According to the political dopester Andrew Gallagher is a contender for the post of internal revenue collector. In the meantime John P. McLaughlin, backed by the labor element in San Francisco, is still in the saddle with the prospect of staving there. Since Senator Shortridge failed to place Ofsted in McLaughlin's berth rumor states that he has been slated for high position in the prohibition department. Billie Stinton, Supervisor, has an eye on the Customs House. It is doubtful whether he can displace W. B. Hamilton, the incumbent.
The greatest piece of local news was the announcement of Controller Ray Riley that he had withdrawn from the race as a candidate for governor. The Controller was the first to announce his candidacy and has made quite a canvass. Political duplicity has been named as the cause for withdrawal. The candidacy of James Rolph, Jr., Mayor of San Francisco, is still in the offing. It has not yet set sail on the political waters which, as yet, show little disturbance. Buron Fitts and his political mentor, Friend W. Richardson, have not shown much activity. There is plenty of time and things will begin to happen soon. It is alleged that Ray Riley will stand for his present position. It is not known whether Stout will continue in the race or not. Many aspirants are out for the second place on the governor ticket. Edgar Levy, speaker of the Assembly, has been mentioned for the place. We hope there is nothing but political "hokum" in the assertion because there is better political future for the affable Speaker. And what about the present Governor? There is no use in him making any political promises of what he will do or what he will not do. He is attending strictly to the business for which the people elected him. His past is history and augurs for the future. His administration of the affairs of the State will be all of the campaign document that he will have to make. It is only necessary to point to what has been achieved to be assured of the future.
"Cocoethes loquendi." It appears to be a fetish with some folk. We wonder if it is realized how different the oral words when seen in cold type. We feel sure that if the head of a great fraternal organization met a committee in the city of Detroit, Mich., could have seen it the words, which he is alleged to have spoken, would not have been said. It savored so much of "braggadocia." 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, ILL RESIGN THEM. I DO BUSINESS AT 907 'U' STREET, WASHINGTON, D. C. I'm the Grand Exalted Ruler until next August and then I CHOOSE TO RUN."
What some of US would like to know is. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO MINUTES OF THE GRAND LODGE SESSIONS THE TWO YEARS PAST? Many of US would like to know what goes on as there is no other means of knowing.
Henry Ford, wise man, says: "I want to do all in my power to help young men of America to fit themselves into the world." He intends to invest $100,000,000 in the establishment of schools. "I intend to invest my money in my own way. I have a definite plan. Consequently I do not wish to be bothered by suggestions from persons who never made or saved a dollar, telling me how to spend a million," he said.
After searching the record of Charles Evans Hughes and searching it for the probable sins of political omission and commission, the senate decided to confirm him for the U. S. Supreme Court as Chief Justice. It was a foregone conclusion that the confirmation would be made. Why the fight? Simply to allow some of the senators to relieve themselves of a little excess gas left over from the whisky debates.

The announcement of Ray Riley to contest for the position he now holds, state controller, stems to have created a panic among the other aspirants. Withdrawals are in order; one out, another in. Mrs. Clara Shortridge-Foltz, sister of Senator Samuel Shortridge, has cast her bonnet in the ring and declared her intention to contest for the honor of being the first woman to govern the State of California. It would be very polite in the Hon. James Roloh Jr., to make his bow and final exit with, "After you, my dear Mrs. Foltz." After building highways and completing unfinished work left over by a prior administration; keeping the unemployment of the state down to a minimum; the administration under Governor C. C. Young, shows an increased surplus in the state treasury from twenty-two million dollars to twenty-six million. That shows wise ECONOMY.
A few days past a condemned murderer paid the price of his crime on the gallows. Prior to ascending the thirteen steps he had the record on the graphophone play "And I shall see Him face to face." Something unusual; they generally ask for something to jazz them up. When he stood on the trap the record was changed to "Nearer My God to Thee." We wonder if Justice demanded that, before he met his God, he would be compelled to gaze into the terror-stricken countenance of the woman he murdered. We wonder?
The month of February witnessed the celebration of the founding of the A. M. E. Church by Richard Allen. African Methodists throughout the stretches of civilization and other places in process of civilization, such as the habitats of the Helfins and Bleases, paid homage to the founder of the great religious society which has been such a big factor in the progress of the American Negro. The intentions of the founders were unselfish and placed the welfare of a race above personal interest. Sorry to say, the church has, to a great extent, prostituted the charge placed in the keeping and in the grasp for material things lost sight of the spiritual.

Plan Scholarships For Negroes
(By: A. N. P.)
What is the difference between a Silver Fox and a Silver Black Fox? There is no difference. These are just two names applied to the same animal.
What is the color of the Silver Fox? The color of the fur is black.
Why is it called a Silver Fox?
Because of the Silver banded hairs sprinkled across its hips and on its back. These hairs give the fur a silver gray appearance. They are not white hairs as commonly supposed, but are really Black hairs with a silver band around the middle of the individual hair—For this reason it is impossible to imitate a Silver Fox fur. Hence its great value.
Why is there so much money to be made in raising Silver Foxes? Because the foxes are cheap to feed, they raise a litter once a year, the puppies are very easy to raise, and their pelts find a ready market at high prices.
Will Silver Fox furts always be in demand?
Mayor C. M. Lampson, Jr. member of the firm of Lampson and company of London and New York, the oldest fur house in the world, stated recently: "Because of the increased demand during the past three auctions, the pelt prices have averaged 20. per cent higher than previous sales. We could easily dispose of 10.000 Silver Fox pelts within two days. Since there are only 15.000 live Silver Foxes in the United States it is plain that the point of starvation is far away; ni fact, it will never come." This shows that the demand for
Silver Foxes is greater than the supply, hence their great value.

Jackson, Miss., Feb. 18.—The Southern Extension Conference at the close of their annual meeting here announced tentative plans for an experiment in Negro education and voted to meet in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1931. Two scholarships to each of the colored institutions in five southern states—North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia—are to be offered students, and if results are gratifying the plan is to include Mississippi in the scholarship offer within two years, according to J. A. Evans, regional director of the South, and assistant chief in the office of co-operative extension work. United States department of agriculture. The extension workers pledged to the federal farm board their co-operation in the educational work which is to be undertaken in the farm aid program.

Then advocate separate schools,
And segregation of the Negro race.
Stand up and tell the public
That colored children are unfit,
To join with other children,
In a public benefit.
Then you are on the road,
To receive great public applause,
From those who may desire
To change the segregation laws.
The black advocates of segregation,
Are a sly and foxy groupe;
They wear the mask of hypocryc;
To deception they freely stoop.
Some of our kept leaders,
Demand Jim Crow Public schools;
And secretly demand segregation,
In the public swimming pools.
If these Jim Crow Negro leaders,
Suffering with dysentery of the mouth;
Are lonesome without segregation
They should return to the South.
Return to the sentry southland,
With their Uncle Tom devotions.
Their inferiority complex minds,
And segregation notions.
Lord, purge our race of hypocrites
And set our vision straight;
Free our minds of prejudice,
Deceit, suspicion and hate.
Appoint Negro Supervisor for Chicago Census District
Appoint Negro Supervisor for Chicago Census District
(Bv: A. N. P.)
Chicago, Feb. 17.—Henry M. Porter, former assistant state's attorney, will supervise the taking of the census among the bulk of Chicago's colored population, according to an announcement made Monday that he had been offered and had accepted the appointment, made on the recommendation of United States Senator Charles S. Deneen. Mr. Porter will be assigned, as far as can be ascertained now, to the Eighth District, which comprises the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Eleventh Wards, which include the congressional district of Congressman Oscar DePriest.
Mr. Porter is a native of Texas and a graduate of the University of Michigan. For eight years he was in the state's attorney's office, under Robert E. Crowe, resigning in 1927, to take up the private practice of law. Later he ran on the Deneen ticket as a candidate for municipal judge, but failed of election. He is regarded as an able lawyer, a public-spirited citizen, and is admired by his colleagues in the profession for his affable, gentlemanly bearing.
This is the first time in the history of the United States Census Bureau that a Negro has been appointed a supervisor. It is an indication that the Bureau of Census under the direction of William M. Stewart is desirous of seeing that Negro enumeration is correctly taken this year. Negro advisors are being named in various sections of the country where the colored population is densest. The Census of 1920 is said to have been imperfectly taken insofar as Negroes concerned. Walter F. George, senator from Georgia, directed the Census of 1920.
Fact Finders to Study Economic Situation
Durham, N. C. Feb. 18.-Dr. J. H. Shepard, president of the Fact Finding Conference, announced here Tuesday that the annual Fact-Finding Conference would be held here April 16 to 18 inclusive.
"The conference," said Dr. Shepard, "will this year make a special study of the economic condition of our group. This is one of the most important phase of the life of the group and it is generally understood that at the present time the economic condition of the Negro is in a state which might be termed deplorable. How to help secure Better Business and more job for workers will be the theme. We shall bring some of the leading students of economics to this conference to analyze the cause and to devise a remedy."
This will be the third annual Fact-Finding Conference, and a record-breaking attendance is expected.
NOTICE-To Mothers and Fathers who are compelled to be away from home for any cause and have daughters of school age, who need proper supervision, the MINNIE J. DAVIS HOME FOR GIRLS is the proper place for them.

FIGHTERS bearing the same name,
"Jackson" tho no kin topped the
cards at the Olympic and the East-
side Auditoriums this week. Both are
mere boys, both raised here and both
well known.
SAMMY JACKSON, as Game, hon
est, clean-cut a youngster as the "Old
Master" Gans, beat his opponent,
Mario at the Eastside Monday, while
a bare dozen of his own blood were
on hand to help the white fans cheer.
Dynamite Jackson though playing to
a larger colored audience at the Olympic
on Tuesday, did not have half the
following he should have had.
BUM SPORTS, wise crackers and Loud Speakers, who only attend a sporting event when a celebrity is in action, get this under your unworthy hides. If you turned out in numbers it would make it easier for your papers to prove both in politics and business that 25,000 Negroes in a city are to be reckoned with. And they are but a frequent demonstration of the fact would mean a lot. Mr. Silas Masters always has welcomed colored fight fans and fighters, Carlo Curtis and Morie Cohn the same; Leo Neuman announces that fact for the new arena and even at Hollywood, which does not use colored boxers as yet, makes the colored fan welcome and as comfortable as the other races.
TENNIS TOURNEY AND GREAT STREET RACE
Everyone who ever swung a tennis racket should enter the tennis meet being staged by the California Eagle and every boy who has ever ran to or from anything should get in on the money and prizes hung up for the Eagle's second annual street race. It is strictly a non-profit event being staged only to promote, increase, and encourage the interest of the young people in healthful athletic sports which is receiving the attention of the leading races of the world.
QUARANTINE THE GYMS!
Something should be done to quarantine the public gymnasiums against the noxious pests who day after day hang around them taking up room, and trying by hook, or crook, (mostly crook) to extract a few quarters and halves from green preliminary boys who at best are not making enuf to soothe the bruises from the hard battles they make as they try to fight their way up to fame and the privilege to stall and pick their opponents as a headliner can.
There are several Breeds of this animal; false friends who are with a guy while he's winning only; gold-brick salesmen who play upon the young fighter's kindness and his liability to buy anything. The worst of all the fake publicity "impressario," who with a partial or pretended connection with some publicity medium promises to make the poor gullible little "unknown" famous in a day, if he will decorate his lazy palm with two bits or something.
Of course publicity is necessary and is worth money, but high-class newspapermen or genuine publicity experts do not hang around gyms. They visit them occasionally, get their impressions and beat it, leaving plenty of fresh air for the striving athlete and more clean room for the aggravated and long suffering gym owner.
BEHIND THE SCENES WITH HARRY
News crifits in from the M. G. M., company which with fourteen colored actors is making ship scenes at Mazatlan, Mexico. Some of it is pretty spicy, induced no doubt by the temptation of open bars and dark-eyed senoratas.
A radio station remote control hookup will soon be installed in the new Jockey Nite, Club for Buster Wilson's Track Kings.
Roberta Hyson, Christie star, who with Sam McDaniel and Russell Jones for two years entertained at the Tavern club, has just completed her engagement and is taking a rest.
The Drinkard Trio is new on the Fanchon and Marco circuit making a big sensation. * * * * * *
Emmanuel Middleton plans an early tour to Mexico. A photo of this rising young baritone will appear in our next issue.
I GOT MINE BOYS
CHAMPION
The little black Cuban boy, Kid Chocolate, who is undisputed king of the little fellows can sign his check most any day for $100,000 without straining his elbow. He says, "fight often and save your dough."

As though born to "blush unseen," there are a number of good colored golfers here tramping across the green making "birdies," holes in one etc., get the general public does not know of it.
From their ranks such club weilders as Cisby of Pasadena, have developed into championship caliber. Charley Moore, well known movie actor and former auto racer shoots a good game; Baby Gans plays, when here and Carolynn Snowden is a great devotee of the sport; and may be seen most any morning with her tall, trim figure clad in a snappy sports costume smacking the little aggravating pill around the hills and hollows.
Claude Dancy, well known young man is building up quite a rep at the Sunset Golf course; Tommy Walker plays constantly. Tootsie Banks is improving his shots, and Frank Davis is rapidly approaching par.
All these boys are "Y" members and deeply interested in other sports also. But they say that golf would be better if more girls came out to play with them.
colored umpire to officiate at some or the games especially the mixed ones.
Arthur Harris genial capable, diamond veteran is one man who deserves a "break" both in summer and winter games. He known his baseball forward and backward, is cool and calm yet fearless when it comes to standing by his unbased judgement. At present he guards one of the portals at White Soy Park but should be behind the plate or on the base line.
Billy Greenwood left for Tulare last week to look after his contracts in said county; coming back he says he will think about his boom for Super-
SANITARY
HILLS
Shades of sepia and natural sun-tan were plentifully sprinkled among the 1000,000 bathers and promenaders, who hurried to the beaches last Sunday because of the unusually hot day. At that the water was very cool but the sands were fine. As usual, Santa Monica Beach, at the foot of Pico was the favorite spot for the brown mermaids and mermen. Incidentally there are some crack oepen water swimmers in the vicinity among whom are Frank Davis, expert with the Australian crawl; Vernon Fulcher, Harold Lewis, Geo. Lewis, John Shackelford and Ernest Bendy, the young heavyweight pugulist.
MEXICAN KILLER AT EASTSIDE
Saturday night after Saturday night Joe Peregrina used to hop into the Main St. Athletic Club's ring sock his opponent a bang or two, step over his prostrate carcass and climb out sending the yelling fans home early. Later he had the nerve to go after Colima's crown at the Olympia and gave Bert plenty of trouble for ten chapters. This Mexican sensation is Joe Peregrina. He meets Willie Felaman New York middleweight 160 pounder who heat Sheredian, Yarbo and others in the feature event at Newmans new East side Arena next Monday night Pop Barret has lined up a classy supporting card.
Eddie Mack and Cecil Payne at the Olympic
Carrying his calling cards in his big fists Eddie Mack introduced himself several combats back as a consistent and dangerous socker. However a certain French stranger Maurice Holtner by name does not know him and seeks his acquaintance meanwhile to disprove his dangerousness at the Olympic Auditorium next Tuesday night.
Anxious to make a hit Maurice will be in there fighting every second according to advance predictions and the cash customers will an usual get a run for their shekels.
Matchmaker "Wad" Wadhama se usual has picked out a dandy supporting card.
SANTIAGO AGAIN
Armand Santiago is so peeved about the sudden and unusual ending to his shrilling battle with Billy Townsend two weeks ago, that he can hardly wait till Billy's broken nose heals so he can meet him nose to nose again.
That technical knockout that kept Armand asleep so long he regards as merely a "once in a thousand" accident and is anxious to wipe it off the Boxers Annual. Meanwhile a tentative match has been made for him and Cecil Payne for March 4th.
MUSHY CALLIHAN'S loss to Berg Tuesday was a big upset and surprise.

The gallery gods started the well known Bronx cheer at the Eastside arena Monday night, but they were razzing Mario and not Sammy Jackson, who bored in constantly and won the ten round main event. Matty Mario, seasoned heavy hitting Easterner, was plenty dangerous at all times and socked hard but elected to wait and counter punch the colored boy at. At that there was plenty of action with Sammy taking every round but the sixth.
They started off with a rush. Mario busily engaged in chewing a big ball of cotton and watching to put over a haymaker, and Sammy stepping round shooting from all angles. But near the end of the sixth the colored star ran into a left hook and local fans saw him dropped for their first time. He was up with the bell and on to Matty but the bell ended the round.
Starting with the sixth, Jackson started to cut down Mario's lead. He took the sixth seventh and eighth. Before the start of the ninth round, Referee Abe Roth warned Mario to open up. The warning evidently had its effect for both speeded up and battled through the ninth.
In the six-round semi-wind Tony Pellegrino took a decision over Willie Fustel. It was a slugtest all the way, with Pellegrino having a clean-cut shade.
Glaring white lights from big colored sign depicting speeding ponies gorgeous gowns of ladies and conventional black of men as their wearers streamed in through a lobby transformed into a forest of gorgeous flowers strains of tantalizing music that set the pulses and feet agog and the New Jockey Nite Club at 23rd and Central Avenue opened last Friday, Valentine Day.
In the receiving line Henry Hastnigs well known and capable charge D'Affairs Reb Spikes able manager and likewise famous musician composer, and Rich Baker well known businessman helped to welcome the many who crowded into the beautiful room built in imitation of a racing stable.
The flowers were gifts from many friends and well-wishers and is a sure prediction of its popularity with Race patrons.
