1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 Sheffield In San Quentin VOLUME 42 ON THE SIDEWALK BY C. A. B. It is passingly strange that Americans, who are more than four centuries old in the school of superior civilization, are still producing a group within its group which feast on the strange, ridiculous ideas and notions that in order to increase their grade of importance, it is necessary for them to depress the darker peoples. Here in the Eastern section of Los Angeles, we have a group of poor whites, who have banded themselves together under the title of Home Protective League. By keeping our finger on the pulse of things in this city, we have learned that the acts of hatred practiced by this Home Protective League have been stimulated by some of our city officials, among whom, it is alleged, is Councilman Lewis, who, we learn was at the last meeting of the Home Protective League urging the members of the same to use every means to shut Negroes out of certain sections east of Main. --- We have in our possession the last communication sent out by the League calling the attention of white residents in the vicinity of East 45th Street to the fact that the League had won its first skirmish with the Negro, which was the case of the Rev. Mrs. Sally Trainor; but says the League, we must fight on until the fourteen lots occupied by Negroes in the vicinity of Wall and San Pedro Streets are restricted and we, the white people of the community can make the restrictions on these as well as the Trainor porperty stick. However, real legal talent costs money. In order to prosecute a case against the Negro in the 200 block of 45th Street, it will cost a substantial sum of money. A committee has been appointed to solicit funds from those who would benefit from a favorable decision, and who therefore should be interested." --- And now, Black citizens, who own property in and about the 200 block of 45th Street, we too come to you with an appeal at this time, and our appeal is this. That you too call a big mass meeting at which time not only fiery speeches be given in behalf of residential protection for black folk but a fund be raised with which to secure the best legal talent available by us to fight this pernicious propaganda circulated by this Home Protective League. Our lives, our liberty and our homes should be as sacred and as carefully protected by us as those of the white owners. Heretofore, it was bad enough to feel that movements to keep colored people out of certain districts was sufficiently un-American in text to claim our attention, but when it comes to driving Negroes out of their own homes, bought and paid for by them, such as was the case of Mrs. Trainor, indicates that it is high time for us to get busy as a group and intelligently fight back. --- "Let him who would be free, first strike the blow." It has come to us by good authority that the ouster case of Mrs. Trainor came up before Judge Gates on last Wednesday morning and that by a motion of Victor A. Bentson, attorney for the Home Protective League the ouster motion was set aside. Just what this trick upon the part of the League's attorney stands for, we are unable to say but we do suggest that our vigilant committees connected with the N. A. A. C. P. and other organizations will keep watch on this so-called Home Protective League and fight this attempt to drive Negroes out of their hard-earned homes, to a finish, which includes no stop shorter than the Supreme Court of these United States: The Women's Auxiliary of the Pyramid Co-operative Association held a rousing meeting, Tuesday evening last, at the Palomares home of Mr. and Mrs. Gafferson. The women, representing this organization have centered their attention on a goal of economic freedom for Western Negroes, and are on the eve of launching a conscious awakening campaign of the Race's true economic value to itself. These women who compose this organization are honest, earnest, hard-working, and determined to lay, the foundation for a better economic structure for incoming generations. This column is here and now dedicating itself to the cause of this economic freedom program strated by the women of the Pyramid Co-operative Association. Juanita F. Edwards Appointed Juvenile Officer Juanita F. Edwards Appointed Juvenile Officer After two years' voluntary service in the Juvenile Bureau of the Police Department, Juanita F. Edwards has been regularly appointed to work out of that division. Mrs. Edwards, during her two years voluntray service, demonstrated peculiar fitness for the place which she now occupies. So effectively did this young woman serve that she elicited high praise and commendation from not only those with whom she worked, but also from her chief, Mrs. Minnie Barton. While it is an indisputable fact that Mrs. Edwards has long since qualified for this position, for some unknown reason the appointment was held back until a few weeks ago when her case was brought to the attention of the City Council by Councilman E. Snapper Ingram, at which time the appointment was looked upon favorably by most of the councilmen, but especially Messrs. Ingram and Lewis. After Mrs. Edwards' case had been favorably considered by the City Council, it was brought to the attention of both Civil Service and Police Commissions, and on last Tuesday morning, February 25, Mrs. Edwards was cited for appointment. Mrs. Edwards is a graduate of JUANITA F. EDWARDS Straight College, class of 1914. She taught in the public schools of New Orleans after graduation and came to Los Angeles in 1918, taking up the cudgel of managing editor of the New Age Dispatch, which she very credibly filled for a number of years. During all of this time Mrs. Edwards was a close student of criminology and it is said that upon one occasion when Chief Davis called for an oral test for an emergency appointment, Mrs. Edwards as a result of this examination, was placed at the head of the list of highly trained social workers. Los Angeles' club women, many of whom watched the outcome of Mrs. Edwards' effort to serve her city, community and race along the line for which she was best prepared, are rejoicing with her at this time and predict that her service in the Juvenile Department will add to the already high records set by those who proceeded her, namely: Mrs. Wren Reed and Mrs. Morgan Robinson. Madam Brooks Signally Honored Last Sunday, Mme. Brooks was the guest of honor at a dinner party given by Mr. and Mrs. John Knox (white) of Atlantic Ave., uncle and aunt of Edith Knox who has just won her sixth Scholarship as the leading piano student of the United States. She goes to the Juliillard Institute of Music, New York City where charges are seventy-five dollars the half hour. Our Mme. Brooks herself was a few years ago known as a student par excellence having won University Scholars hips in Violin, Piano, French and Latin studies. Mme. Brooks came to California three years ago and opened the Brooks Conservatory of Music at 1334 R. 48th Street She has had pupils to win both the gold and silver medals in Violin and Piano playing in California championship contests being the only race teacher to ever have a medal winner in these contests. After dinner a few hours of music were enjoyed Mme. Brookes playing spina brilliant Piano and Violin numbers. She was accompanied at the piano by Katharine and Anita Collins in twin two talented pupils of the Brooks Conservatory of Music. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1930 CALIFORNIA EAGLE LAUNCHES PRIZE CAMPAIGN LEADING CITY OFFICIALS AND PUBLIC SPIRITED CIT IZENS PROCLAIM COUNCILMAN WIN J. SANBORN IDEAL PUBLIC SERVANT AND REAL AMERICAN Los Angeles To Hear Alice Dunbar Nelson With a program that promises much interest and enthusiasm, the Los Angeles Civic League will assemble in its regular meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Club rooms on Sunday afternoon, March 2nd at 4:30 o'clock.

Smith & Williams Expand Some twenty-one years ago the well known firm of Smith and Williams, funeral directors open for business in Main Street in a little cottage remodeled to have the business. Through efficient business methods the company concern has grown by leaps and bounds until today it ranks as one of the leading concerns of its kind operating in the west. Having several years ago out grown the old location a new home was erected on the present site 1133 South Central and the Co. continued to grow. J. F. DUGAS Wishing to maintain its high standard of service, Mr. J. F. Dugas has been added to the concern. Mr. Dugas has had over 30 years practical experience in embalming and Dome Surgery. Comenting on his connection with this popular firm, Mr. Dugas had the following to say: "It is a pleasure to have my name associated with the above concern in a business with LEADING CITY OF IZENS PROCLAIM IDEAL PUBLIC Before an audience of more than four hounded persons, in the form of a banquet, assembled in the Roosevelt High School. (Boyle Heights) the official conduct of Mr. Sanborn, for the past ten years, received the stamp of approval from many speakers, among which were his Honor Mayor John C. Porter, Honorable Joe Scott, and Principal Thomas H. Elson. Each speaker advised and warned the audience against the cunning proproganda destined to deceive and destroy the very foundation of the American Ideals. It was claimed that some of these unscrupulous and disgruntled agitators are circulating petitions for the recall of Mr. Sanborn, in which they find much difficulty in securing sightures. They have, therefore, devised to deceive the public by spreading false reports with regard to his stand upon the Water and Power program. Defeated in this attempt, by a public letter issued by W. B. Matthews, Counsel for the Water and Power Bureau, they have hitched themselves to the Cement Trust proprogandist's 'and attacks, councilman Sanborn, on his open stand in the interest of the people as against that of the Cement Trust. By declaring himself, in favor of the Alphonso Bell propposition, that would bring to our community another and permanent industry. Should we destroy the霉 that hays the golden egg? The following is copy of letter and excerpts from the Heights News. The following is a statement signed by W. B. Matthews, Chief Counsel COSTS NOTHING TO TRY---THERE WILL BE NO LOSERS NOTE: On pages four and five of this issue appears a comprehensive description of the California Eagle's big Automobile Prize Campaign and Subscription Drive. Rules and Regulations together with full information will be found on these pages. We are for 5,000 new subscribers to the California Eagle! Are you with us? While the California Eagle is a favorite in its field and already enjoys a wide circulation, this newspaper, in keeping with its progressive policy is desirous of increasing its family of readers in Los Angeles and surrounding towns and communities. With this end in view, and to accomplish it quickly, and at the same time give friends and readers an opportunity to profit in a big way, the California Eagle today announces the most liberal prize offering ever made by any weekly newspaper in the State of California—a campaign in which a brand new 1930 model Essex Sedan, fully equipped, worth $1050.00; $500.00 in Gold; a beautiful Genuine Russian White Fox Fur, worth $225.00; a lovely Genuine Red Fox Fur, worth $175.00; a stylish Genuine Pony sport coat, worth $150.00; a fairly Apex Rocket worth $127.50; one of the new model Majestic Radios, worth $116.50 and $50 in gold. Besides 75 cash purses, which will be given to all active candidates who fail to win one of the regular listed prizes, but shall receive a commission of fifteen per cent of all money collected by them. SALESMANSHIP The are of salesmanship is being expounded by all the leading business concerns today. The California Eagle has decided to use this unique method to increase its already large list of readers and instead of the old method of engaging solicitors to do this work, the California Eagle will distribute Continued On Page 6 which I have had 30 years practical experience. I wish to let all of my friends know that I am now connected with them and prepared to give the same service which for 30 years has carried the label of satisfaction. for the Municipal Water and Power Bureau of Los Angeles for over 20 years; in fact, ever since its establishment, and prior to that time, was City Attorney and handed the legal matters for the development of municipal water and power: The agitation in certain quarters for the recall of Councilman Sanborn is, in my opinion, highly unjust to a faithful and capable public servant and opposed to the best interests of the city. The municipal water and power utilities have achieved fame and success because of efficient management and the support they have received in official circles as well as among the people generally. Mr. Sanborn, as a member of the council, has always, by vote and influence, backed the city's Water and Power Department. His record in that particular has been remarkably consistent throughout his long service on the council. Some friends of water and power, at time, may have waivered in their suport, but never Mr. Sanborn. In fairness to Mr. Sanborn, We trust the people of his district will discourage and oppose any effort looking to his recall. Mayor Porter in his brief address declared Wm Sanborn to be one of the best representatives in the Council and urged great support for him. "He typifies all that is good Americanism and patriotism and has the respect of everyone who comes into Visits Home of Black Silver Fox Company Through the courtesy of Dr. J. T. Whittaker on last Sunday we visited the Central Home of the Silver Black Fox corporation of which Dr. Whittaker is the president. The place is located near the summit of the cajon mountain just a few miles this side of Victorville and 6 miles from the Big Bear Mountain. Arriving at the home of the Black Silver Fox we were amazed at the magnitude and bigness of the farm and its appointments thirty acres fencing indestructible by fire or the elements and countless screened in enclosures where in pairs the valuable Silver Fox were kept. Every appointment necessary for the upkeep of such a large place were at hand. The water system, food grinders, refrigerators, etc. We were further informed that Dr. Whittaker started in about six years ago with one pair of foxes had run the heard up to more than 75 pairs with a valuation of plant and foxes well nigh unto $150,000.00. With unselfishness devotion he has put his holdings in as a part and parcel of the newly former corporation and will sell some 45,000 shares of stock thereby develop further and making the farm the largest in the entire country at the same time allowing for a guaranteed interest and dividend to each stockholder. His effort indeed is the most outstanding accomplishment and offers the best and surest return upon your investment of any ever heard of by members of any group. Composed in the group were many prominent citizens of both races the far famed movie prodigy and his parent "Farina" was there. All sorts of weather was encounted on the trip, beginning with sunshine, snow, sleet and rain. The ranch however was the most pleasant place to be especially so as the Dr. served hot coffee and luncheon par excellent. LIC SPIRITED CITI- N J. SANBORN, EAL AMERICAN contact with him. If Americanism means loyalty to the flag and the Constitution, there is no better man than Win Sanborn". The keynote address was delivered by the Hon. Joe Scott, able orator, who stirred his audience in upholding Americanism and denouncing communism. Time and again, the throng burst into applause as he compared life under Americanism and under Communism. Tracing Americanism from the time of Lincoln when that young gaunt rail-splitter struggled against all odds to achieve success, Mr. Scott pointed out the opportunity for the young men and women of today who show true patriotism. He concluded by supporting Win Sanborn as a true representative of Americanism, now the "victim of insidious forces." He urged his audience to go out and fight for Americanism by enlisting support for one of "the greatest peoples' servent in the city hall." The final speaker of the evening was Thomas H. Elson, principal of the school who spoke briefly upon Americanism as exemplified by Theodore Roosevelt. The theme of his address was that the best way of preserving Americanism is to keep into political office real Americans. "The record of Mr. Sauben," he declared. "is one of which any American may well be proud. With such men in offices we are assured of toy Far West To Hear Wm. Pickens On 3 Months Tour For The N. A. A. C. P.

Co-operation the Future Hope of the Negro By MENTIS CARRERE The word-"Co-operation" enjoins a wide and varied usage and is defined as follows:-"Operating jointly together to the same end; working together." Sometimes co-operation is stressed for the betterment of mankind in general, other times to make a few powerful men more powerful. Quite often co-operation is urged for constructive purposes, other times for destructive purposes. For instance: Co-operating with the community in which you live to keep it clean so as to prevent disease and make it a fit place to live in is co-operation that benefits all concerned, and is constructive. Co-operating with the Ku Klux Klan in their propaganda for racial and religious intolerance, benefits no one, and is destructive. Of the various kinds of co-operation there are two kinds I wish to deal with in this article, namely: Producers' Co-operation and Consumers' Co-operation. When I say "producers" I mean those who cultivate and market the products of the soil. The purposes of the Producers' Co-operative Association are: 1-To get a fair price for their products. 2-To standardize their products. 3-To reduce shipping rates. 4-To receive better returns on their labor and investment by eliminating as far as practicable the middleman. The purposes of the Consumers' Cooperative Association are: 1-To save the profits to the consumer. 2-To relieve economic suffering of the masses. 3-To eliminate an unequal distribution of power. bundon of power. When these two systems are developed to the point where they will clasp hands there will be the dawning of a new day for the masses. What is Consumers' co-operation? It is a membership organization wherein every member owns an equal share and derives equal benefits through their purchasing power. Each member has one vote and uses that vote to elect a board of directors to carry on the business of the organization. Consumers' co-operation takes in the masses who, for the most part are workers. Since the Negro race is overwhelmingly a working people consumers' co-operation is the only system that will lit into their scheme of racial betterment when all other systems fail. For that reason I shall devote the remainder of this article to consumers' co-operation and how it affects the Negro race.

M. reaching San Quentin last Saturday morning. Sheffield went from the County jail to his present abode upon his own request. He has an appeal pending and could have remained here in the county jail until a decision of the higher court. However if the court should decide against this appeal he would get no Credit on his sentence for time spent in the County Jail. In the usual order of things his appeal will not be decided upon for 12 months. Dr. H. C. Hudson, Pre. N. A. A. C. P.

American Woodmen Launch Gigantic Membership Campaign $1.000 IN CASH PRIZES DISPEN- SATION ALLOWED A gigantic membership campaign which has for its motive the addition of one thousand and new members to the local camps will be launched by the twenty-five hundred Los Angeles Woodmen beginning March 1st and continuing for ninety days.

BLACKSTONE DIES—WELL KNOWN PULLMAN PORTER LOSES VALIANT FIGHT AGAINST SICKNESS H. K. Blackstone died Wednesday night after a game fight to regain his health which has been on the wane for the past year. Blackstone fought a losing battle, with a spirit undaunted until the final moment. Only recently a call was sounded within railroad circles for some porter to sacrifice enough blood to enable the doctors to perform a blood transfusion, to prolong the veterans life. J. BELL, JR. ANSWERS CALL J. Bell, Jr., was the first porter to offer his blood for a transfusion to save Blackstone's life and sacrifice was accepted by the physicians in charge at the General Hospital. Mr. Blackstone gained as a result of this transfusion, gave signs of some hope, although it was only temporary and the last spark of life flickered out Wednesday night. POPULAR AMONG PORTERS Mr. Blackstone was 55 years old at the time of his death, and was very popular among the porters and waiters in Los Angeles. He always had a smile and a pleasant word for everybody. He operated the Bakersfield run for a number of years, and was on this line when ill health overtook him. He loved to play pool, and took great delight in triming the boys during his spare time. MANY CONTRIBUTE TO FLORAL PIECE Practically every porter that could be reached, contributed to a huge floral piece for the deceased funeral, which was held from the Angelus Funeral Home, last Tuesday at 1 p. m. and attended by a large body of railroad men and women. Full particulials of the funeral will be published in next week's issue. J. R. PETERS PASSES AWAY Los Angeles was given another shock and surprise, when, after just recovering from the bad news of Mr. Blackstone's death, they were informed of the passing of J. R. Peters, veteren Pullman Porter, and on the retired list of the faithful. Mr. Peters 75 years of age at the time of his death, and has survived the wristlegs of a retired Pullman Porter for the past five or six years. HAD MAID QUARTERS Directly after Mr. Peters was retired, he was given charge of the maid's quarters, and being a railroad man to the last, he took great delight in relating his railroad experiences to the maids who stopped at his home. OPERATED ON THE LARK Mr. Peters was one of the charted porters of that famous train, "The Lark" and run upon it up to the very day he was placed on the reftiled list. Business men in all walks of life knew old John as they called him. He was considered a landmark on this high-class palace on wheels. BORN A SLAVE One of the most remarkable facts of Mr. Peters' life was that he was born a slave and through 40 years of service with the Pullman Company he acquired a traveling education that was a revelation to all he came in contact with. HANDLES PRESIDENTS Presidents of the United States were many times passengers of Mr. Petens, during his career and he knew them well enough to call them by their first name. BURIED IN UNIFORM Sleeping in a beautiful gray casket, old John was laid to rest in his Pullman uniform displaying eight stripes for faithful service. The funeral was preached by Rev. E. H. Eldridge assisted by Father Clechhorn. Remarks were made by Mr. C. Lincoa, retired Pullman Superintendent of the Pullman Company and Mr. Percy Buck. A very beautiful solo was rendered by Mr. Eldridge. The following porters were pall bearers: J. Harris, B. Houston, J. Ponder, L. W. Davis, B. A. Hogood, and C. Smith. Interment at Eversreen. SOUTHERN PACIFIC Mr. E. J. (Pat) Williams is en route to New Orleans to visit the sleed bed. side of his mother and sister. He reports that while he is in that city he will take in the Mardi Gras. F.

Dawey Sims, popular waiter on the Golden State is on the sick list. Prof. Grear will hold down Mr. Sims' run while he is away. The Golden State will have new linen for lunch only. A brass band will be in order for the illen men to sing by. D. C. Inspector Smith was on board 104, but was in a very good humor. E. L. ARNÄR APPPOINTED ASSISI- TANT TO CHAS. UPTON Feeling that the rapid progress of doings in railroad circles, are becoming to vast for one hard working human to take care of, and cover accurately, the Railroad Clatter feels highly honored and fortunate in being able to announce the appointment of Mr. B. L. Arnaud, former chairman of the L. A., safety-first committee, and wide awake Pullman Poster of this District, as assistant to the editor of this column. Mr. Arnaud will endeavor to give the boys a fair break with the latest in railroad news along with the writer. Mr. Arnaud's address is 1239 East 42nd street, Humbolt 1702-W. If you cannot get in touch with me, Phone Arnaud. UNION PACIFIC MAY GET FILM TRADE With the marriage of Miss Cecilia DeMille, daughter of Cecil DeMille, President of the Association of Motion Picture Producers, to Mr. Francis Calvin, former vice-president of the Union Pacific railroad; figures in railroad circles were watching with interest the influence of Miss DeMille's husband toward plucking the fat pimf of the film business, at present held by the Santa Fe. W. B. HOLLAND ILL W. B. Holland, well known Paulman Porter of this District, and a regular line "Lark" man, is at this writing indoposed at his residence under the care of a doctor. It is thought that Mr. Holland is suffering from a nervous breakdown. The Railroad Clatter wishes him a speedy recovery. H. W. WEEKS LEAVES SERVICE After a year of hard labor in the Southern Pacific yard, cleaning cars, H. W. Weeks, formey Pullman Porter of this District, is out of the service. It was rumored that Mr. Weeks after working faithfully on a promise of being reinstated in the sleeping car department, slipped up on the blowing of a car, and lost his chance to redeem himself. HAS BLACK JACK TO KILL BREAKER And now we drift to the city of South Los Angeles, where there resides a popular young gentleman by the name of J. W. Perry, and be it hereby known that Mr. Perry believes if carrying protection on these wild Pullman cers, it seems that on the line that Mr. Perry has been operating on it has been infested with snakes, and for Mr. Perry's protection from these vicious reptiles, he dropped a blackjack in his traveling bag. It is claimed he killed a few of these monsters, who squirmed off of his car at Portland, and laid the weapon away in his return trip. Looking for new fields, he conquered on his S. P. depot, he was slightly bitten by a E. P. official who could not understand what it was all about. Mr. Perry, so I have been led to understand by one of my operatives, is now on the waiting list. It seems that a man cannot protect his own ride now days! "LARK" 20 YEARS OLD MAY 8 The "Lark," crack Southern Pacific limited and best all the year around train in the United States, not barring the famous Twentieth Century limited will be twenty years old on the 8th of May, and, as I am informed by my assistant, the first diner car number was 10016. Just what the menu was on that memorial evening I have not yet been able to determine, as Traveling Chef Thomas Harrison claims he was a mere baby at that time. Believe it or not, however, I shall charge my operatives to seek the names of the Pullman Porters who did the act of spreading sheets 20 years ago and pliate same to you in a later issue, and further, at that time there were two "Larks," two "Owls" and two "Sunsets," but I must stop, how could there be two "sunsets?" G. D. SMOCK PLANS TO ORGANIZE SAFETY-FIRST CLUB Plans are being formulated by Porter G. D. Smock to organize what is to be known as a Safety club. It is the plan of Mr. Smock to have the club meet at least once a week in a sort of social get-to-gether manner, in which refreshments will be bountiful served. He asks that all porters interested in joining the club to be on hand at his residence, Oct. 16th at 7:30 p.m. Give him a break. You would not be here today if it were not for Safety methods. PULLMAN PORTER CLAIMS RECORD FOR EATING D. Davenport, of the San Francisco District, is reputed to be the biggest eater in the service, not barring P. J. Anderson, who can go so himself. Davenport was doubled to Los Angeles, out of Sacramento. As a rile he operates to a town called Sparkes. However, even though he was in strange territory, he was not without food. He had a little snack along with him to hold him till dinner time; just a half a turkey, three leaves of bread, pound of butter, three cans of beans, and one can of tomatoes, but he did not have enough for breakfast, so he went into the diner. That's a regular habit with him. M. Brazley looks out after the D. L. Steward by so doing he gets his morping food gratis. Can't hate him for that. John Halley, former Pullman Porter is now a used cap at Freemo! Mrs. B. L. Arnaud and children are contemplating a trip to Portland, Ore., in the near future. Two cars of Burlington tourists went to San Diego on the Owl last week. B. F. Scott had the Hearst, party last week. What a break.

We wouldn't be a bit surprised it all of the following half-French Prillman Porters drifted toward their native country—New Orleans during the Mardi Gras. C. Smith, J. Bell, L. Turropy, B. Belion, E. L. Arnaud, J. Estorage, W. A. Clark, W. King and a few other Frenchmen. Joe Holmes has got a signal on his Studebaker that will wake up the dead. When he sounds it as warning, it's time to move, and I don't mean maybe. B. P. Duncan put one over on the boys when he quietly decided to take a mate for life, after buying a new Studebaker. What could be more sweeter than to settle down and enjoy life with a wife. It takes a long time for some of these boys to wake up! Ed Seals is again running wild! After just having recently been set back on his line, it seems as if Mr. Seals failed to lock his toilets coming to the city which of course is a penitentiary offense! They tell me that the extra board is tough picking for all the extra porters except, "Lark" Carter. It seems as though Lark Carter has got his finger in somebody's eye. He never fails to get the graver. The automobile race of the season will be staged in the very near future. Following is the list of entrants up to date: J. Ponder (Chrysler) Joe Holmes (Studebaker) L. Logan (Dodge) J. L. Barnette (Dodge) E. W. Brackett (Cadliac) J. Carter (Buck) J. Carter (Pord) W. H. Walker (Auburn) V. Tate (Hudson).

We wonder how much James White lost on the Fields- Corbett flight? A twelve car train of Fridgidare Salesmen last Thursday for Oakland. No chance for a hot box. O. Johnson claims he never does have a bad trip. We wonder how he does it. Get a line, is the alarm that has been sounded through the district. It is going to be tough pickens until summer. Yes! try and get a line. G. M. Tynton, after a hard battle beat Ollison out on the line he bid in. There were two specials out of Fresno to the Jackie Fiels Corbett right. James Gray, popular S. P. Red Cap is now back on his regular job at the station, having disposed of his interest in the grocery business. Nothing but the "Lark" will do for the following high class pullman porters. E. Woods, who has not been in The Week's Editorial (WHITE PRESS) From the Charleston, S. C. News Courier, Jan. 19, 1930 SOCIAL EQUALITY IN JAIL Two hundred Negro convicts in the federal prison in Atlanta were leased to the convict commission of Georgia; to work on the roads; but the contract has been cancelled by the office of the attorney general of the United States; the Society for the Advancement of the Colored People having objected to the "discrimination." This society doubtless believes that Negro thieves, or forgers are good enough to associate with white thieves and forgers. It may be. Anyway, a mighty blow has been struck for social equality of the races. A colored counterfeiter presumably is allowed to sit at table with a white post office robber. Members of congress, Democrats among them, criticized the lease on the ground that it would take employment from free labor. One supposes that no one will be required to work for the support of these convicts when they do not work for themselves. Tax-payers will do nothing to maintain them in idleness—anyway, Senator "Bob" Wagner of New York seems to thing so. Probably he fancies that free laborers do not pay taxes when they buy cigarettes. He is not puzzled. We are. How to have prison population maintained as a leisure class without some other class paying the bills only politicians and some of the labor leaders can understand, and if this country contains any laboring people who do not pay taxes we have yet to see one of them. Probably if some of our earnest friends could have their wish realized that two or three millions of the "felons" who encourage the bootleggers be sent to jail, the unemployment problem would be solved. The citizens out of jail would have plenty to do, they would have to work like—the dickens, so they would. Were all the white conspirators who violate the prohibition laws, the buyers, the transporters, and the drinkers of "liquor" imprisoned, the colored people in the federal prisons would certainly be in "society" at last and the Society for the Advancement of the Colored People might sing the doxology and adjourn sine die, having achieved its objects. The News and Courier has out of date notices. It does not believe that a bootlegger or a moonshiner is depraved, as a burglar, thief, or bank defender is. It thinks that violators of the liquor laws—and smugglers—belong to the more respectable criminal classes. It holds that even in prison there should be a measure of separation of the races. A great many better people than we are think differently—they are convinced that white bootleggers and black bandits should be locked up together. That is what they vote for here in South Carolina when they vot for and uphold federal prohibition, whether or not they mean to do so. By the way, in South Carolina bootlegging and moonshining seem to be for the most part white folks' jobs. The Negroes have a lowly part in them. The Society for the Advancement of the Colored People is apparently doing nothing to check this form of Southern racial discrimination. TO TRANSFER TEXAS PRIMARY CASE FROM FORT WORTH TO NEW ORLEANS New York Jan. 31. Because the Fort Worth division, of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals does not meet until the Democratic primaries are over in 1930, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through the attorneys in the case has applied to have it transferred from Fort Worth to New Orleans. The New Orleans division of the federal court will sit in time for the Negro Democrats to have their case heard before the primary election from which it was sought to har them. Messrs. Arthur B. Spingarn, of New York, and Fred C. Knollenberg and E. F. Cameron, of El Paso, N. A. A. C. P. counsel for D. Nikon, have agreed with the defense counsel, who concurs in the motion for transfer of the case in order that it may be heard before the primary election. The present case tests the right of a Democratic state committee, to bar colored voters from a primary election, following the U. S. Supreme Court's decision in the first Texas White Primary case that the state could not bar colored voters by law. This is one of several such cases undertaken by the N. A. A. C. P., one o'rall of which may go to the U. S. Supreme Court to affirm the principle established in the White Primary Victory of 1927. The N. A. A. C. P. is financing a similar ca. West v. B.利ley, in Virginia, in which the U. S. Federal Court of Appeals recently upheld decision of the lower court holding such exclusion unconstitutional.

Friday, February 28, 1920 BOOK CHAT "BORN TO BE" By Taylor Gordon. Published by Covici-Friede, 79 West 45th Street, New York City. Price $4.00. New York City. Price $4.00 With apologies to Mr. Gordon, I must note first that Covarribias has made the illustrations for this book. Some of them are in color, all of them are marvellous. The first two plunge one at once into the story. Gordon, a little boy, passes drinks in a house of prostitution, and a few pages later, in prim Sunday clothing, sits outside his family's sulphur little frame, house at White Sulphur Springs, Montana, his brother on one side, his mother on the other. Incidentally, these pictures account for the high price of an otherwise modest book. Negro autobiography before this has confined itself chiefly to stories of sober colored youths working their way through Hampton or Tuskegee; latter, at the cost of incredible hardships, starting schools of their own, schools to be helped financially by the sale of the autobiographies. "Up From Slavery" is the great and classic example of this story. But no schools will be financed by Taylor Gordon's book. In fact, I doubt if it is allowed on many library shelves. It is a tale without a moral, written with that frankness to ward things sexual that is characteristic of today. Without style and yet with occasional charming phrases, it purports to be a true autobiography, and if we occasionally feel that the writer is embroidering a bit, we accept it in good part. Should not every story be improved by the telling? Taylor, Gordon grew up in a white town, with white boys, a small frontier town, where there were plenty of practical jokes and good geeaws, and where he was installed at a very early age as page and cash boy in "Big Maud's new house on the sporting line." Here he ran errands and occasionally got a big tip, graciating into a gambling house where he set up pins, and got thrown out for fixing the pins to bring luck to a generous friend. When a man, to his mother's deep regret (his father died when was an infant), he left home to seek his fortune, making his first stopping place St. Paul. What that fortune was, one must read to learn. It ends with Taylor Gordon a successful singer on the concert stage. It also, despite his amorous adventures with various women, white and colored, leaves him unmarried. Women and money, he is convinced, must go together, and when he has the one he cannot capture the other. He lectures the Negro in his pages quite as a white man would, and perhaps for the same reason, since he did not become acquainted with his people or with the race problem until he grew up. But he is always good-natured, and sometimes says a shrewd word. As an instance, this criticism of present day Hampton singing: "Nathaniel Dett directed the Hampton Institution Chorus. It was the greatest demonstration of how my people hate to be themselves. He had a large group of good voices and they were trained to sing Negro Spirituals like an Episcopal Choir would sing a Greek Easter greeting on that great Sunday morning." Carl Van Vechten, in his foreword, calls this an extremely amusing book. Muriel Draper, in her introduction, speaks seriously and appreciatively of this human record, this flowing stream, written much as Taylor Gordon would talk, "bit unified by the steady curiosity of a man who forever wants to know what he was born to be." Russia Local Wrestling fans will remember the good-natured giant Reginald Siki the only Negro Wrestler to reach first flight ranks on Lou Daro's famous mat events. Lou craves Siki back or some other equally good to add color to his colorful programs. Here is a letter from Tallinn-Estonia which is supposedly somewhere in Russia and Reginald now, married seems to be doing very fine, but still thinks of the "States". My Dear Sir: I thought you might be interested or the Los Angeles, sport-fans perhaps will be interested in my activities on this side of the brinny-deep; therefore I am writing you this letter. I sailed from the States the last time March 17, 1928, from New York to Oslo, Norway, where I met Macnair Johanson, the Norwegian heavyweight leather-pushing champion, who successfully K. O. ed in the first half of the 5th; March 31, 1928. A week later I met Toni Saporini, a hard slugging Italian, in Copenhagen, Denmark; April 9th. He was a good slugger but can't take 'em and with a continued shower of lefits I won by a technical knock-out in the 2nd round. In the same month I won a prize of 2000 zloties ($222.22) in Cracow, Poland, by defeating Lolek Szczerbinski, the nephew of Stanislus Zbyzko, in an hour and ten minutes with a crochet hold and half helen. I won 5000 zloties (555.53) the second prize in a tournament in Warsaw. Stanislaus Zbyzko, the first prize $10000 zloties. I can send you clipping of my matches and activities such as these I am enclosing if you like but you will find them in the various European languages and not in English. I can likewise send you news from time to time of other interesting feats of other colored athletes in Europe. if You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Friday, February 28, 1930 Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. UNNECESSARY CRITICISM A deal of unnecessary comment comes to our attention anent the appointment by the present State administration of a deputy in the Labor Commissioner's office. We think most of it uncalled for, certainly that against the appointee, if this individual can see his way clear to accept said position no one should say aught. We are informed Prof. Shaw established his residence here several years ago, educated his children here, is a man of integrity and honor and will fill any position which he accepts with honor and credit. We may think what we like as to the motive of the administration, but the fact remains that the group has a wee opening which it never had before. From small beginnings larger things may come. Personally our opinion is that the gain for Governor Young politically will be negligible on account of the fact that he was tardy in giving recognition and when he finally decided to do so he passed out the very smallest blessing possible. THE DIOBOLICAL CEMENT TRUST T The hook up of the pernicious Cement Trust to throttle the public officials who would dare to stand up and vote for measures which are in the interests of their constituents, no doubt will receive a jolt whenever the issue is brought before the people. Starting in with the attempted recall of Councilman Sanborn the voters of the Ninth District should, and doubtless will, give the Cement Trust and their cohorts such a rebuke that will silence them for all time. In the first place as we have oftimes stated before, the howl raised by Hearst papers and high-powered lawyers, is only a smoke screen to cover up the major attack of the Cement Trust. The trust will go to any length to prevent the erecting and starting of any Independent concern. What the people want is legitimate competition for cement. In this manner they will without question save millions of dollars to both the taxpayers and consumers as well. They are not at all alarmed at the hue and cry of a subsidized press and its wail and hypocritical spasms about destroying the beautiful contour of the Santa Monica mountains or the attendant woes when the rocks are crushed miles away from the habitation of man. What they do want, however, is a fair and square deal and more work for the workers, this can be obtained only by courageous officials who will stand up at all times to do the things which mean the most good to the most people. In this situation Win Sanborn has made good and the voters will so express themselves when they have the opportunity to vote on the recall fomented by the nefarious Cement Trust. WANTED: GENERALS TO LEAD US TO VICTORY IN THE BATTLE FOR ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE The battle for economic victory and independence can be easily won if we can but prevail upon our people to wake up and visualize their own potential strength, press forward and win the greatest victory in the memory of man. Political organization will not get us anywhere; religious, fraternal and civic organization can be of immeasureable benefit if they will so do. The high brows will not serve us, the professional men hold back in their traces. With all of these impediments we can still gain victory. We are issuing a call to arms for the common, everyday men and women of therace to organize Consumers Leagues and then and there put on the habiliments of warfare, go forth and win the battle for economic independence. In this battle the housewives will be the key to success. We can no longer depend upon the forces which have assumed leadership in the past, but on the contrary the forces which we have heretofore passed up by the wayside are the very ones which will enable us to a victorious ending to the economic warfare. We start on our way with the goal in sight evidenced by the following figures which give an insight into the great possibilities before us. If from this exposition of bare facts the race falters in its onward march and fails to visualize we are most certainly doomed. We consume, basing our most conservative estimate on 75,000 souls in Los Angeles, as follows: Food, per year ..... $11,700,000 Clothes ..... 3,750,000 Shoes ..... 750,000 Hats ..... 375,000 Transportation ..... 4,500,000 Amusements ..... 1,875,000 Household Goods ..... 1,500,000 Upkeep Churches ..... 500,000 Money Invested Churches ..... 1,000,000 Cars Valued ..... 3,500,000 Housing ..... 11,250,000 Incidentals ..... 900,000 Literature ..... 900,000 Insurance ..... 450,000 Lodges Upkeep ..... 250,000 Heat, Light,-Water ..... 900,000 $44,325,000 Forty-four Million, Three Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand Dollars. The question is how much of this business expended by ourselves do we keep in the circles. We claim that we can take no part in the march of progress unless we qualify to corral at least a fair portion of this expenditure. We claim further, there is no one keeping us from doing so excepting ourselves. Why whine and complain then for inability to procure positions for our boys and girls when they come out of the school room when we fail to get the proper share of our trade which we can render one unto the other. It is criminal we opine for the Negro who lives off the patronage of his own to find other channels, when there are members of his group to trade with. This goes for the Negro physician, lawyer, dentist, undertaker, preacher and all people who exist from Negro patronage. This also reaches the white merchant who survives by Negro trade and is a complete justification of the slogan: "Don't spend your money where you cannot work." This goes even further, and halts the merchant in his tracks who even refuses to advertise in legitimate Negro newspapers. We are vitally interested in this phase of Negro life, all other questions are side issues with us. We pledge ourselves to maintain a ceaseless warfare in the front ranks to bring a belated victory for a fair and square deal and victory for Economic Independence. TOWN LOYALTY No citizen is so powerful, none so humble, but what his town is an aid to him in some way or other. There is where he employs his labor or his capital, builds his home, enjoys the society of his kind and, in short, finds everything that makes life worth the living. Failing to find these things he usually goes in search of them elsewhere. If he remains it is natural to suppose he has found htat which he sought. Since your town boosts you why not do as well by it as it does by you? To progress it needs the help of every citizen and every citizen bene- fits individually from every community improvement, whether that improvement takes the form of public works, population growth, increased prosperity or business development. No community is so miserable and unattractive that it has not its boosters and none so perfect it has not its knockers, but that city or town achieves most in civic betterment which has the most boosters. There are boosters and many of them in Los Angeles. They and their forerunners have made it the fine community it is and are making it the better community all want it to be in the future. But there are two reasons why every citizen should be a civic worker and booster. First, it is unfair to place the whole burden upon the few and, second, every citizen owes it to himself and his fellow citizens to do everything within his power to make the community better that it may the better serve all. However, one should not make the mistake of confining his boosting to talking about the virtues of his home town. Direct advertising pays, but the kind of boosting that pays the highest dividends is sober and persevering endeavor of the kind that builds and beautifies the community. BOOSTER A writer in a current magazine observes "if the newspaper is just a little better than its town, the latter is the gainer thereby." Towns and their newspapers usually lag or lead together. Progressive journalism is the unfailing tonic of the lethargic community; but it is equally true that a lifeless newspaper can seriously retard the development of its community. There is no better community asset than a home newspaper equal to the needs of the community. While a poor newspaper is better than none to the individual reader, that does not hold true for the town. What can a good newspaper do for its community? It can serve as the town's messenger to the outside world. It must take the leadership in all community projects if they are to be successful. It is the infallible line of communication between local government and citizen. It is to the newspaper that all organizations turn for assistance in public welfare movements and without that assistance they face failure. The newspaper reaps the reward of its initiative by sharing in the general improvement of business and community affairs it has been instrumental in bringing about. The good newspaper deems it a pleasure to serve its community and its readers and is fully aware that it is only through giving a full measure of service that it can progress and prosper. HOW DO YOU READ $ ^{9} $ "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are," has cried a publicist so often that he has coined a household axiom. Well might another say: "Tell me what you read and I will tell you what you are!" The mind is the house in which we live more truly than is the body. If we furnish the mind garishly we must live in a garish house. If we furnish the mind carelessly, we must live in a slovenly house. If we take our mental furniture only from the past, we shall live in the past alone. If we take it only from the faddish notions of the present we shall live amid fads and foibles, which vanish eer we know them. But if, on the other hand, our mental diet is balanced, comprised of the foods tested by time and sauced and spiced by the piquancy of the present, we may live a balanced, ordered life. We can with impunity pour poisons and dark, wild, disordered thoughts into our minds no more than we can day after day find strength and health from spurious foods, hastily prepared, indigestible. To read well, read discriminatingly, widely, thoroughly. What we read becomes part and parcel of us. Next to money the hardest thing to keep is a secret. If the fiction characters cuss, it's a high-brow magazine. There are just two philosophies of life: Do unto others and do others. And many people think they are good merely because they are tired of sinning. One reason why success goes to the head is because nature doesn't like a vacuum. Man works hard to establish a credit and then frequently finds it too good for his good. COMMENTS W. J. WHEATON Nothing political in the visit of former president Calvin and Mrs. Coolidge to California. It was merely a sight-seeing jaunt through Hollywood and environs. Not even the persuasive arguments of Governor Young could induce them to visit the Capital of the Commonwealth. It is to be regretted. There are so many of the citizens throughout Superior California who would have liked to have seen the man, who guided the destiny of the nation and who has gained fame through his habitual trait of silence. Their stay was one of pleasure and their insight into the making of sound pictures must have been interesting. The former President will always be remembered as the executive who wrought order out of the chaos of a post war nation. It was no small task to stabilize a war inflated government and bring sky high interests to earth without a crash. President Coolidge neither affirmed or denied the invitation of Dakota, through Borgglum, sculptor, to write the history of the United States, in five hundred words, to be cut in the mountain side. * * * * * The prohibition battle continues still to hold the spotlight in the legislative halls. Exposures of graft; criminations and recriminations are bandied back and forth. Violation of the law is charged by both the "Wets" and the "Drys". It is the opinion of the conservative thinker that it is best to allow the adherents of "Bone Dry" prohibition every means to test their theories. $33,000,000 has been placed at their disposal. Enforcement has been transferred from the Treasury Department to the Department of Justice. The request of senators Borah and Norris have been complied with. Stringent laws have been enacted, and counter claims of success and failure have been recorded. Yet, there seems to any one who wishes to know and will take a few minutes stroll through any of the towns a bove 5000 of population, that alcohol as a beverage is easy to obtain. The song used to be "Father, dear father, come home with me now!" At present it is the old gent who sticks his head in at the door of the "Speakeasy" and sobs, "Daughter, dear daughter, come home with me now!" And she, with a flourish of the glass says, "Just this one more Gin Cocktail." It is to be hoped that the government will soon cease experimenting and get down to the sanity of Temperance. In Arizona a woman paid the penalty for murder. She was hung. She killed an aged rancher whose partly decomposed body was found buried in quicklime, it is said. Every means to save her life was tried. The Board of Pardons and Paroles refused to intervene. She was tried for her sanity and proven sane. The Constitution of Arizona gives no authority for the Governor to pardon, and there was no other recourse but capital punishment. This was was the first to be executed in the State, and there was a diversity of opinion as to the feasibility of it. The sentimentality of sex is disappearing rapidly and with woman claiming equal privilege and prerogatives there is born the feeling of equal responsibility for their acts. A California justice is commenting on a case involving an alleged criminal act of a woman, said, "Husbands are entitled to SOME protection." It has not been so long ago that it was a common practice for some woman to shoot down a man or a wife to kill her husband. They were always sure of acquittal or a lenient sentence. It took a courageous judge to give a few of them a stiff term in the penitentiary. The custom ceased. Congressman Sabath, Illinois, introduced a bill to give to the heirs of Firmina Tobera, Filipino, killed in the riots near Watsonville, California $5000. It is just that payment should be made for the death of the victim of mob violence. But why not assess the amount on the community responsible for the killing? If the Filipino is a citizen of the United States, as claimed, why the demand for payment for his death from the national government? If he is an alien why not place him under the same restriction of the immigration laws affecting other aliens? Four thousand American citizens of African lineage have met death at the hands of the mob in less than 50 years. Has there been any national legislative act brought forward to compensate any of the heirs? There has been no attempt to punish the culprits; though in many instances they were known to the authorities. From what has been learned, casually, through listening to conversations of the Filipinos, the monetary consideration will have but little effect in healing the hurt caused by the overt act of the mob. * * * * * The politicians throughout the state are marking time. Whenever a prospective candidate is approached for some statement there is generally the stereotyped answer: "Nothing doing." With the withdrawal of stout from the race for State Controller Ray Riley seems to have a clear field. Congressmen throughout the several districts are playing up to their constituents from Washington. Assemblymen are saying nothing, but are "sawing wood" through the mail. And so it goes on down the line. Aspirants for the office of Governor on the Democrat side are as thick as the fleas on the back of a hound dog. There is a big scramble as to who shall lead the "folorn hope." Approach Governor C. C. Young and ask him when he is going to announce his candidacy. He will give you one of his genial smiles and assure you that it is plenty time, and August is a long way off. That there is so much urgent business pertaining to state government that needs immediate attention that there is no time for personal politics. In the meantime, the ELECTORS are seeing to it that the Governor's political interest will not suffer from inattention. An amusing happening which almost terminated in a domestic tragedy, occurred in the city of San Francisco. "Billie" Brown, after a night of peaceful slumber, awoke to the discovery of a deficit in the funds which he had deposited in the depths of his trousers pocket when retiring. With some amount of biting sarcasm, punctured with remarks uncomplimentary to the honesty of the partner in the domestic firm of Brown and Brown he accused her of extracting said funds from the place of deposit. The partner did not deny the taking of said funds but claimed that they were not purloined but were taken in order that the necessary fodder for the morning's repast might be provided. Nevertheless: "Billie" Brown was insistent that the Partner return said funds, and threatened to become beligerent. Whereupon the Partner proceeded to provide itself with a persuasive instrument, known as a "gat" by some and by the Fraternity of Gangsters as a "Rod." When "Billie" had become insistent to the point of violence, the "gat" or "rod" began to smoke "Billie" went through the window. Casualties? One cut hand. Moral: Put spare change in the toe of the shoe. George Washington: Abraham Lincoln; Frederick Douglass. America remembered them. The month of February is ripe with the memory of men who wove their names in the woof of American history. The question of todav is. How have we profitted by their unselfish devotion to national principles? Whither are we drifting as a nation? Integrity of purpose; Loyalty to the Constitution; Devout in espousing human rights in national government. Amatchless triumvirate. If Douglass could speak of the conditions today, he would advise. "Let's refuse to live in a fool's paradise. Face the facts however painful they be." That cross-bred progeny of the braying animal which Balaam rode, senator Tom Heflin, Alabama, suh, arose in the august body of which he claims affiliation and spewed forth such "Billinggate" that would shamel a fish-wife. Shame to say, he had it read into the record. Future generations will read and wonder however such assinine creatures ever entered the portals of the law-making body of the nation. Such diatribes will not read like a Washington's farewell address or the dedication speech of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg. We have been earnestly scanning the news for the appointments which were to be made by the present National Administration. We have not heard of any plums given out to make the pie. That is plums from the trees of the treasury; justice or army and navy departments. Did hear something about Charlie Johnson being sent to Africa to investigate some rumor of slave trading involving the Liberian Republic. But there was a more important commission sent to Haiti which, in view of all the national scandal, should have had a smattering of color. But it's colorful as the Arctic snows. It is funny how the growl grows in intensity until after the animals are fed. Just prior to any campaign, local or national, one can hear threats of secession from the ranks and regular revolution in party alignment. They have fooled me once, can't fool me twice. You can hear that war cry from New York to California. Very soon someone comes tip-toeing down the line jingling a little silver. The loud mouth declaimer shuts up like a clam. The editorials in the "Weaklies" recant and lose their sting. Political recognition! Where has the creature flown to? Gone up in "Jackass vintage" and smoke! There will be several congressmen elected. Some judges will be either appointed or elected. Men of fair and unbiased minds; free from the bias of race or color should occupy the benches from which justice is dispensed. Decisions inimical to occupancy of property by persons covenanted against in residential districts, have been made. That is your fight and my fight. Are you in the fray? Inside "Low Down" Of Nefarious Decisions Against American Citizens in Calif. ing force which brought on the war. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth, who with Attorney E. C. Jennings is fighting the Los Angeles Playground Jim-Crow Swimming Pool order, is just in receipt of the following interesting letter from California's Grand Old Man, Mr. B. A. Johnson, of Sacramento: My Dear Sir: Quite a while ago MR. MACBETH. Mrs. Leona Butler handed me a letter from you requesting certain information. The only explanation I offer for the delay is that I am now 82 years old and it is quite an effort for me to sufficiently concentrate to write accurately of the events that transpired over fifty years ago. But I make it cheerfully and with pleasure. The following letter from Mr. B. A. Johnson, one of California's most intelligent and highly respected citizens, unfolds the fact the decisions of Judge Hartley Shaw and other jurists based on the case of Flood v. Ward, was a law which prevailed in anti bellum days even before the 14th and 15th Amendments had been ratified. This situation will no doubt be an eye-opener to many citizens of California and points to the fact that is fully as insidious as the famous "Dred Scott" decision rendered by Chief Justice Taney before the Civil War, which in fact was a contribut The case of Flood vs. Ward hap- henece in San Francisco in 1870 or 71. The school laws at that time were mandatory to the school authori- tities to provide separate schools for Negroes. Flood, residing at a great distance from such school, applied for admission in his district for Ne- gro children; being refused, legal pro- ceedings were instituted under the Fourteenth Amendment. The case was finally decided by the Supreme Court of California; Chief Justice W. T. Wallace, Southerner and a Democrat, rendering the opinion of the Court that the separate laws of California were not in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment but the school MUST BE EQUAL. The effect of that decision was to open the doors of the public schools to Negroes in many parts of the state as it was found impracticable (too expensive) to maintain equal separate schools for Negroes. The first instance, that I remember was the closing of the colored school in Oakland by the City Superintendent, Mr. Fred M. Campbell, sending the children to the various Districts. Miss Mary Sanderson was the teacher. (Now Mrs. Mary Grasses, now residing in 32nd street, Oakland.) Substantially the same thing occurred in San Francisco. But here in Sacramento, the Negro school continued under the separate law except that Negro children had to be admitted in the High schools. This condition continued until the adoption of our present Constitution in 1879. There was a determined contest against it by the business interests and conservative elements because it was permeated by the radical principles of the sand lot agitators led by Dennis Kearney. But the Negroes generally voted for it, solely because all discriminations of the old Constitution were entirely eliminated, and as a matter of fact the word Negro does not appear in the present Constitution, which was regarded as full compensation for what defects may be found. The first Legislature convening thereunder in 1880 had many laws to change to adjust them to the New Constitution and it was my privilege to be one of a committee that waited on the Joint Committee on Education of that Legislature, the general results of which were that every discriminating provision of the old Statutes was stricken out except that Section of the Civil Code voiding marriages. Notwithstanding there was no legal authority for a Negro school, there was a school known as ungraded No. 2 maintained in this city about 15 years ago, but as attendance was optional it declined to such an extent that it was closed and the few children with the very efficient colored teacher were absorbed in the Department. Said teacher became the principal of one of the standard schools, which she filled with credit and honor until retired with a Service Pension. (Deceased a few years ago.) Somewhere about 1890 an effort was made to establish a colored school somewhere near Visalia, became the subject of legal action. My recollection is that Chief Justice W. H. Beatty rendered the decision that there was no such thing known to the laws of the state of California as a Negro school (I believe the question involved was one of funds for its support.) Now, Mr. Macheth, it is my opinion (that has no legal value) that unless the law has been changed or there has been some later decision, that there is nothing in the school record that would be of any value in the Swimming Pool Issue in your City. The Fourteenth Amendment of course is restrictive upon the state and I suppose all of its organized creatures; but if EQUALITY is maintained it becomes a Problem. The word Equality (the first in the Tosin of the French Revolution) is so very elastic when adversely construed. And then there is the wide latitude of the general Police Powers of Municipalities exercised to the extent of confiscation of property whereon adds to the problem. The lawmaking power of the State can undoubtedly furnish the remedy. The Hon. Stephen J. Field, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and perhaps the greatest jurist ever on the bench of California, in rendering an opinion in a very important case laid it down as a maxim of Jurisprudence that in Our System "there is no safeguard against the abuse of Power but that is founded in the Structure of the Government itself." Now, in conclusion I make no pretention to legal knowledge but I have some very pronounced principles of policy that I rigiously adhere to; and that is that I have never solicited any thing because I am a Negro. I have at all times advocated that Negroes refuse to accept officially any thing as such. If Sacramento were to erect a Palace with a Swimming Pool exclusively for Negroes, I would advise rejection. In carrying this policy to an extreme, I am fully aware of the conventions of American Life in such that the dictates of Interest may justify any expedient of compromising this Principle, but I cannot conceive of any contingency that would cause me to deviate from what to me is a Fetish. I am aware of the mechanical, structural and other defects of this letter for which I make no excuse or apology. And if it has only a suggestive value I shall feel fully content. Expect to be in your city within a few months and have the pleasure THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SOCIAL CALENDAR FOR FEBRUARY AND CURRENT EVENTS ```markdown ``` GOLDEN STATE WHIST CLUB The Golden State Whist Club met at the beautiful home of the congenial Mrs. L.

HALLELUJAH AND OLD TIME MINISTREL SHOW COMES TO TIVOLI When Nina Mac McKlennay beautiful dynamic star of Hallelujish alighted from a limousine at the Empress Theater in New York under the dazzling lights at the premiere of her noted play she was not more proud than she would be if she were here to see its presentation at the Tivoli Theater, 43rd and Central Avenue on Sunday, March 9, 10, and 11. For hundreds of her admirers will be on hand to see the feature that's listed as one of the seasons' best caused more discussion than any play produced in recent years. Mr. M. A. Ellsworth, manager of the popular and beautiful talkie house has done himself proud in securing this universally discussed picture he has brought to the doors of his appreciative patrons, the Race classic that seventy-five per cent of the colored population have not had the opportunity to witness. Before Hallejulah all other races had been featured in pictures except the colored race, but in Hallejulah there is a drama replete with the most tender love scenes, side splitting comedy situations, stark gripping, tragedy blood-curdling climaxes, soul stirring religious sequences and through it all as near perfect music as has ever been heard from the screen. Contrary to a few false representations not an inch of the great film belittles the Negro or his religion, but King Vidor in attempting to show some phase of Negro life has depicted scenes which every Negro must admit, can yet be seen in sections of the rural South. Rugerless of the fact of having sex with everyone should view it during its run at the Tivol, OLD TIME MUNSTREL SHOW As an added attraction the manager has organized an old time minstrel show, such as was a big purge in the days of Billy Kersands and other great black-face kings, Alton Reed's famous band will furnish the music which will consist of the very latest willisbobbles with Walt Disney, Walker, and other Knights of the burnt cork will be depicted on this memorable Sunday.

The Lone Wolf's formal, ball That was given on the thirtieth At the New Masonic Hall. People came in Yellow Taxis Peerless, Retopos, Black and Whites Others drove their Reos, Hudson's, Chervolets and Willys Knights. Should have seen the decorations The old Wolf, himself, was there With his tent upon the platform Looking like a millionaire. All his subjects wore tuxedos There were twenty-five; no jests You could tell them by their colors, Strung across their manly breasts. Now the music it was lovely. Good as any in the land, Made you think you were in heaven, Leon Rene and his band. Suple bodies danced devinely. Here and there a sweet refrain. Could be heard among the youngsters As they played some favirie strain. Happy faces did laugh gayly. Some were tan and some were brown. Some were near white, some were painted. As one sees in any town. All the ladies' gowns were lovely. Long, form-fitting, very ney; They were priceless, wide and sleeve- less. Most of them were backless too All the men were groomed like princes, With their patent leather hair, Diamond studs shone on their bosoms, And their clothes were made with care. Well, the punch bowl kept two busy, Served four hundred more or less. As they thronged about in numbers To relieve their thirstyness. Now when every skirt had vanished And the last tuxedo, gone, I looked back toward the platform, The dear Wolf was there, alone. —Iva O. Reed.

Bass, managing editor of The California Eagle, has been appointed as editorial head of the "Order of the Eastern Star Magazine" published quarterly in the interest of the Grand Chapter for the State of California and Jurisdiction. This organization composed of the wives and near relatives of the Free and Accepted Masons of the same jurisdiction, is perhaps the greatest fraternal organization composed of women in this great western country, and headed by its most progressive and energetic Grand Worthy Matron is rendering valiant service for humanity throughout the country. *Long Beach Elks promise a surprise Orchestra, March 13th. EXHAIRING Speaking of Prohibition, the other day Grayston M. P. Murphy, New York financier, declared while having his car gasped that he did not know (now get this) a leading banker, manufacturer or industrial man who did not break the dry law. Now, here is a man whose station in life allows him to hobbin and rub elbows with those he speaks of. He gets near enough to smell their breath too, at times, or have the familiar invitation extended him: "Have one, Grayson, you're just in time." Even financiers sometimes tell the truth. Prohibition never was intended for the rich hence it's not enforced. --- Senator Borah whose political stand and views have caused him to be classed with those of his colleagues termed Sons of Wild Jackasses, theoretically motored over to Russia to interrogate the Soviet Government concerning the expected execution of some 16 Rabbis. The late Wm. Jennings Bryan also attempted to pay his respects to Russia some years ago for the lynching of Jews but Russia was somewhat acquainted with the criminal history of Uncle Sam and reminded him as she will no doubt remind Senator Borah, that before this country should attempt to admonish Russia for her wrongs she should make an honest effort to prosecute those responsible for the burning of American Negroes at the stake alive; something no other nation, civilized or uncivilized, is guilty of. Don't be foolish Senator, if you want to do something for humanity, do what you can to abolish lynching in your own nation. The appointment of some Negroes to fill political jobs has at the eleventh hour become a concrete factor in shaping some of the platforms that certain candidates expect to stand on. The poor Negro is never thought of or considered except under such conditions and circumstances as make it imperative, at which time he is offered a job rather than position. --- In the local Nero business world catering to the public, meeting the keenest kind of competition, and making good we find Dick Temple. Visited his well-equipped auto paint shop out on W. 7th St. in the heart of the white business district this week and couldn't help but congratulate the young man's effort to deliver. Here is one young man who believes in meeting competition rather than seeking patronage through the channels of complexion. *** We, amongst other things, visited San Diego this week and had the pleasure of gaining a first hand insight into Negro activities. Attended an Inter-Racial meeting at which most every public official including the Mayor was present and must say witness-visible evidence that such meeting bring results. Atty. Hugh Machbeth was the principle speaker. Next we motored over to the Golden State Insurance Company's office and found it in a flourishing condition. Called on an undertaker and he stated business was slow. We sympathized with him openly but thanked the Lord under our breath, that folks were reluctant to pass away or on even if their decision to live did make times hard in the undertaker department of this thriving world. As elsewhere, restaurants, barber shops, hook halls and rooming houses constituted the major portion of business enterprises and religion is in about the same status there as elsewhere. You can hardly see Negro business for Negro churches as you motabrouk. The Blackstone Club, an organization composed of the legal profession selected Attorney E. C. Jennings to wear the badge of President for the next year at their election last week. We hope that his inaugural address will be published. Yes, that is what we said. John Fowler, who knows more about the Negro in California than the Negro knows about himself, said enough in his column last week about his newspaper colleagues to cause them to be a bit swelled up. We are sure he intended nobody any harm. ```markdown ``` A traffic tag is at all times an unpleasant instrument to receive, whether justified or unjustified. Personally there is not a traffic officer, bar none, that can ever say, we asked any quarters when a clear case was proven. We don't feel that because we know an officer that that should interfere with him performing his duty. However, on the other hand, he should be reasonably convinced that a law had been violated at the same time being open-minded to reason. A few days ago Officer Echols assumed the role of traffic officer, witness, attorney for the street car company, judge and jury when he, for some unexplained reason, seemed so anxious to take advantage of a technical opportunity to distribute a tag which was wholly unnecessary. We congratulate the dear brother for his unreasonable nerve and hope that he does not find it necessary to issue all his tags under similar circumstances. God bless you, old man. GERMAN CORRESPONDENT PORTRAYS HARLEM IN "MUENCHNER NEUES TE NACHRICHTEN" New York, Feb. 24.—Dr. Max R. Kaufman, correspondent in this city for a number of German newspapers, he sent to Walter White, Acting Sec- retary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, chipping of an article in the "Muench- ner Neues Nachrichten," surveying Negro Harlem. The article includes excellent translations into German form the poems of Langston Hughes, James Weldon Johnson and Claude McKay, a summary of Harlem's poetry, and portrayal of its life. Dr. Kaufman calls Harlem the part of Manhattan "where New Yorkers, which they are developing as intellectual and financial center of American Negroes, where, too, spiritual forces are concentrated for the uplift of the African race." Dr. Kaufman informs Mr. White that he is anxious to continue his translations of American Negro poetry into German as the present article has aroused much interest in Germany. Lincoln Douglass Ceremonies at Val Verde The celebration of the birthdays of Washington, Lincoln and Douglass was held on the spacious grounds and Auditorium of the County playgrounds at Val Verge with 1st beautiful foothills and verdant canyons, on invitation of the James M. Vena, the Custodian of the Val Verge County playgrounds. A happier selection could not have been made in the appointment of Mr. Vena, who is very popular with the members of his own race group, and by his uniting effort to please all of the patrons of the public utility, is rendering the County government really meritorious service. M. Vena arranged a very nice program of singing, recitations and public speaking. The program was first opened by a very eloquent and appropriate prayer by Rev. L. G. Robinson and then the singing of the great national anthem, "America" in chorus by the entire audience standing, was lead by Mrs. Notwood Williams. The address of the occasion was delivered by Hon. Wallace Clark, the able president of the Unity Finance Company, the foremost business institution in the State of California. His subject, "The Patriots, Washington, Lincoln, and Douglass," was educational illuminating and eloquently pronounced. The eloquent and sometimes poetical address of Hon. Joseph B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle received tumultuous apulause. Mrs. Everett B. Latham, formerly secretary of the Friday Morning club, and member of Trustees of the California Institution for Women, who represented Governor Young on the program; told of the wonderful work being done by the different branches of the State Government, and of the reformatory work of which she is a part. She also gave the glad tidings that Governor Young had created a Department of the Free State Employment Bureau on the eastside, of which a member of our race will be in charge. Mrs. Latham also said there would be a member of our group among the staff of assistants at the California Institution for Women. Mrs. Latham's address was pleasingly received and she made an excellent impression. The last speech was made by Mr. Wm E. Easton, who paid a very high tribute to the patriotism of the Negro, his military achievements in behalf of the American Flag, and what was due him as an American citizen, who had always come up to his correct measurements. Mr. Easton had and held the sympathy of all race men, and women present. Mrs. Spear-Bass would not take the platform but spoke briefly from her seat in the audience, and her eloquence was roundly anlauded. Probably there was never before gathered in this city a more representative body of our group, and it will be we believe a forerunner of many meetings of the race in the Val Verde Playgrounds, owing our worthy public-spirited, race-loving superintendent, James M. Vena, Sr., who tries to please everybody who visits this magnificent place of recreation and instruction. We can not close this article without paying to Mr. and Mrs. Miller a tribute of admiration and respect; these spacious grounds were formerly their property, for the rent interest they still show in the comfort and entertainment of all without reference to race and color, who visit the County Playgrounds of Val Verde, County of Los Angeles. The superintendent, Mr. Vena gave the race and absent, that we should remember that for all purposes, Val Verde Playground was open to our race group for meetings, picnics and public entertainment.

Mr. Carroll Thompson and Mr. Jas. Robinson, of Pittsburg, Pa., are visiting in Pasadena. The gentlemen are very much impressed with California, and especially Pasadena. Mr. Robinson is stopping at the Green Hotel, Mr. Thompson with Mrs. Kitt, 244 Madeline Drive. Both are having a wonderful time and their stay is indefinite. OBSERVATIONS A man sitting under a sign on which was written—"Leg of Lomb, 30 cents a pound. After all, maybe he was a two-legged lamb. A sign: "Jackamo's Clothing Store." We remember long ago when a little italian boy by that name beat the stuffins out of us one day after school. One street clock says: 4:30, another, 35, and a few doors down another says 4:40. And so the time-seeker is quite baffled. This reminds us of the time we saw street signs in a Northern city bearing the wrong street name. Pity the stranger that goes to that town. Astes Slipkoff Hats 99c; Bedroom Slipkoff Hats. Probably the time will come when $1.98 cents will completely cloth-the modern madness. Two toys, two dges, two black birds—fighting for all they were worth. We wonder when will swords be turned into plow shtars and the lions and lambs behave like lovable brothers? Just look at the expressions on the faces of the people whom you meet on the streets. Here and there we note a cheerful countenance; all too frequently do we see sadness, distress, and trouble written across their faces. Nervous restless creatures—in a hurry to go, WHRE? and do WHAT? Little-Colored, White, Mexican and Japanese children fighting, eating, and playing together. It is among the children of the world that human brotherhood will be really solved. Scientists tell us that race prejudice is not born in children. They learn it from their elders while in the formative years of their lives. A very fat Chinese. Usually the Chinese we have observed were lean in body. A world traveler just told us that their parts of Child where the man, women and children wore no clothing at all. Well, this isn't strange! There are black, brown, red and white primitives, so why not yellow ones? Just recently a white man raped a Negro woman living in Pasadena. This much can be said in favor of the young cave-man: He went about his非erious practices with his face unmasked. In the South these Nordic assaulters have a way of blackening their faces in order that they might appear Negroidie. As though Negroes had a monoply on raping. We have oftimes suggested to colored servant girls of our acquaintance, the necessity ofoting a little gun in their vanity cases as a means of protection for the servant girls. Informal aggressiveness toward colored sisters, especially in the dark away from the lighted arteries of traff The little covered children riding the street cars home (from kindergarten school, and college) and who make a nuisance of themselves as well as a shame to other members of their race, probably would fare better were they picking cotton or breaking rocks. Surely they are entirely lacking in anything like race pride or decency. No wonder the teachers are tempted to lose interest in them. The reasons: (1) parents are too busy to teach them; mother and father both re grasping to out rival their neighbor's new car or radio or home. (2) A teacher's arrests are the arrests from morn' till night, and grow up like wild weeds. After mother's and father's darling has become a general nuisance they wonder why it is that God is so unjust to them. MORAL—Better a humble home with a mother's care than a leading citizen's residence that houses "urshoots" that haven't the common etiquette to tip his hat when he meets a woman on the street! MUSIC We welcome a pianist to our midst, M. Cleo Ford. The Cotton Blossom Singers will appear at the First A. M. E. church in March. The Utica Jubilee Singers will appear at the Friendship Baptist church very soon. A proof that Pusadena is prominent in Southern California musical circles, just witness the machine loads of singers and instrumentalists that have been busy engaging events in Los Angeles surfing the last few weeks. News reaches us from Chicago telling of the famous Henry Prence's success as a tickler of the ivories. Henry was famous in all Southern California, and now he is famous in the Windy City. We would like very much this summer, to see the musical and artistic talent of Pasadena put on a sort of musical festival. Let it be something like the Beyretn Festivals of Germany. This would be a splendid opportunity for all our local talent to co-operate in having one great day of music and art. We have plenty of talent going to waste. Let's revive it and have a feast of things artistic. AVIATION If you are interested in aviation communicate with Marvin McAfee at 1044 Sunset, or William Brock, 185 Gloriett street. These young men work in the aviation industry, which falls that lurk in the vicinity of the aviation industry, especially in so far as the Negro is concerned, with an equal chance to learn the flying game. FALSE RUMOR— A certain brother, with a heart full of love for his fellowmen, was deploring the fact that so many of Pasadena's Negro businesses have gone on the rocks so to speak, just because they were not patronized by race men. This said gentleman cited several business places that were among those found wanting. He mistakenly mentioned the Graham Pharmacy as being numbered among the dead. Of course everybody knows this to be erroneous, for the New Graham Drug store is located next door to the P.E. station on the corner of Fair Oaks and Union streets. The gentleman in question drew his conclusions from the fact that the old site is unoccupied. Be it known that Pasadena has, and will have for a long time to come, a colored drug store, and Mr. Graham is still its guiding hand. WELCOME. STRANGERS We Pasadenaans welcome all those visiting our city whether as transient or permanent settlers. If these columns can be of service by way of donations, we can work with our city and its people please feel free to solicit our aid. CLUBS The New York was entertained at the home of Mrs. Clements. The South Carolina club met at the home of Mrs. Nelson. The N. I. B. C. club meets the second and fourth Thursday of the month. The Kansas club meets the first and third Saturday. COLONIAL BALL— The Cosmopolitan club will give a smart ball at Payton hall Thursday, Feb 27. The men and women will dress in Colonial style; however, the dress is optional. I missed last week. Serves me scribe right, as the fault was all our own. The great and growing California Eagle is too busy to "hold" a press waiting for some tardy scribe. I visited the Eagle a short time ago, and Mrs. Bass, the busy managing editor permitted me to gaze in on the workshop. Some great place—eight or nine miles away. Some day I am going to write my impression or that visit and ask them to publish it. "Whopee! If you weren't at the Valentine party, Friday night, Feb 14 given by the Second Baptist Sunday school with aid of the Social Committee; Misses Mildred Cermany, Marvalyn Simmons, Ora Lee Pressley and Mr. Elwood Simmons, you missed the time of your life. Thus was the sayings of the young people after the party was over. It was very amusing to watch the blindfolded boys and girls try their luck at "tailling the donkey." The prize winners were the little Marie Adams, Edmon McNeal and Milton Simmons. Cormille McNeal won a box of candy for guessing the nearest amount of beans in a jar. Refreshments were served.

Presley, only Negro star on the Varsity football squad of the Monrovia High school, recently played twenty-three quarters out of twenty-four. He will probably be the star of the football league. Mr. Presley is the only freshman on the team. He attended the Block M banquet and dance Friday night, Feb. 21. Mrs. W. E. Lockett on East Maple avenue is on the sick list. The correspondent wishes her a speedy recovery. Mr. Columbus Enge on East Maple avenue is able to be up again. Progressive race people take a pride in their state paper and read and pay for it. Drones and holdbacks are too short sighted to keep from under the wheels of progress. Which class are you in? Mrs. Edna Greene Smith in company of the editors and owners of the Eagle, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass and Mr. E. L. Dorssey, feature writer for the Eagle, spent Thursday and Friday in San Diego. They attended an interracial gathering Thursday evening and Friday they called on friends and readers of the Eagle. Mrs. Smith, who has charge of subscription collections for the California Eagle, wishes to thank Monrovia subscribers for their promptness in responding to her, and to say she will be ringing doorbells again Wednesday of next week. THE CHURCHES Presiding Elder G. W. Reed preached for Rev. P. E. Shaw, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, both morning and evening, Feb. 16th. His sermons were very inspiring to all who attended.

There has been a decided interest throughout year in books or investments and financial matters. This of course, increased greatly during the fall. Plays and popular scientific books were also in demand. On the whole, interest in non-fiction was greater last year than ever before but this interest was largely restricted to non-fiction of the more popular type. Publishers are catering more and more to this demand for popular non-fiction and we find numerous books of this type on all subjects being published every month. In fiction one notices a trend toward the better novel in happier vein, in contrast to the more morbid and introspective types. War stories of the narrative type were more numerous and circulated more freely than ever last year. Translations have become fairly popular and social studies have increased somewhat in general appeal. There seems to be a perpetual interest in western, adventure and mystery stories, with a trend somewhat from the western story to the mystery or detective story. The public never tires of murder mysteries of every hue and description. We note a definitely increasing interest in Negro literature, due no doubt to the exceedingly large number of books appearing last year on this subject. In juvenile reading the subjects most in demand, in the order of their popularity, are: fiction, fairy tales, nature study, general science, aviation, history, biography and poetry. There seems to be an increased use of holiday and vocational material, stimulated no doubt by the schools, and more interest in biography and travel. In comparison with motion pictures medieval magic looks like a child's plaything, both as to the mechanism lying behind them and to the scope of the images. According to the latest statistics, every week the whole population of the United States goes under the spell of motion pictures, is carried by imagination all over the world, is gripped by emotions of actors; cries and laughs with them, forgetting for two hours everyday routine, cares and sorrows. Motion pictures have become one of the most influential social institutions, working with powerful means—by indirect suggestion and emotional appeal. Recently sound was introduced to the motion picture public. The advent of sound and talking pictures has startled and pleased millions of patrons with its added improvement. In order that the general public may understand with what processes this bewitching and spell-binding power is created Mr. Harold B. Franklin, president of the Fox West Coast Theatres, has written a book on "Sund Motion Pictures." The author feels that because such a very great interest has been evinced in the subject of sound which is causing an entire industry to adjust itself overnight to a new condition, such a book as this one will surely be justified. He covers the coming and growth of sound, the standard sound devices, productions in the studios, social and commercial use of sound, the foreign market, television, and the future of sound. In his chapter on "The Use of Sound" the author tells us: "Schools, libraries, shops, and commercial institutions may very well develop sound facilities and techniques of their own. In other words, the mechanization of sound is no more amusement enterprise. In the larger view, it takes on the proportions and reveals the implications of a world, or, at any rate, of a world.

BATEMAN "Carry me back to Ole Virginny, Dah's whah de cotten, corn and sweep potatoes grow; Dah's whah de kirds warble sweet in de springtime Dah's whah dis ole darkey's haht does long te go." "The shades of night are falling fast"—The stain is puffing, steaming and blowing to the fore. Here, aft, we toot steam and puff and blow for relief from the effects of the Summer's sun. The darkness of night enshrouds us as a black transparent blanket. Through it we peek and peer, straining cur eyes to catch glympses of an unknown land, vast stretches of houseless lands with stubby growths of bushes here and there. Now great trees rear up as though to spread themselves over and cover up the nakedness of the earth. Here and there tiny yellow lights flicker on and off. I press my face to the window in unspeakable ecstacy. "Suppose it were not—I'd better be sure." Now, here, there, everywhere, they are darting. "Yes, I am sure, it must be that—what else!" I find my voice. "Lightning bugs! Mother, look, see them darting about! I didn't know we were in the South!" Then dumbling, displaying my total ignorance of geography, "I didn't know Washington, D. C. was in the South!" "Oh, yes," my mother answered, secure in her superior knowledge. A million, no, two million, a billion of those tiny, yellow, flying sparkes. A wonder of nature. Could they direct their rown power in concerted effort. At once the field would be flooded with light, but here, there, everywhere their tiny, single sparks go on and off, making a fleeting impression. Since babyhood I had not rejoiced in the wondermen of these tiny bodies. What a conjuring up of emotions there comes with their presence, the scent o f the wild plum orchards in the springtime with the memory of its festival arrayment. These lasting impressions are pleasant ones of my few days in the Southland. A few hours' ride from New York and we are in the Union Depot at Washington, D. C. I feel comfortable, at home and safe in the confines of this beautifully carved and chisel-decorated white building, for, across the way, in a stone's throw, the white dome of the Capitol towers its mighty head under the dark southern skies. No fear of bodily harm such as took possession of me in New York is felt. A feeling of exaltation surges within as I realize that Hoover, the daddy of U. S. all, is within calling distance and at his command the entire army would be called out to protect the least of the subjects of this United Kingdom. Such a happy thought, would that this ballocuation were not so misty—for through its very beauty I can see a real picture of pain, suffering and persecution of helpless, loyal subject, who cry and there is no answer. NEW DEAN OF MUSIC DEPT., FOR BISHOP COLLEGE Joyce certiful—but why elaborate further? We all know Florence Cole-Talbert and just how she puts things over. A very lovely basket of flowers was then presented to the singer, compliments of the Second Baptist Church B. Y. P. U., and thus ended a wonderful evening of song. In the third group, Goldie Guy Martin delighted her audience with two delightful piano selections in her characteristic brilliant style. Mrs. Robinson is to be congratulated. An interesting letter from Mine. Florence Cole-Talbert, reports that the diva has accepted the position of Dean of Music at Bishop College. Marshall, Texas, for next year, with the privilege of continuing her concert work as occasion demands. Jessie Covington, well known pianiste, is piano instructor at the school. Mme. Talbert has given several very successful recitals since leaving Chicago at Jackson. Miss., at Wiley University and at Bishop College. She will appear in recital at Houston College. Southern University, Baton Rouge, La., New Orleans, La., Jacksonville, Fla., Savannah, Ga., Nashville, Tenn., Shreveport, La., Hot Springs, Ark., and on to points east. EVANSTON, ILL.-On Thursday night, at the Second Baptist Church of Evanston, Illinois, Mrs. Josephine Edens-Robinson sponsored a very successful recital for Mine. Florence 'Cole-Talbert. Owing to the big snow storm the church was not so crowded as was expected, however, those who braved the inclement weather will long be thrilled by the memory of the diva's wonderful voice, clear as a bell, sweet as a bird, beautiful beyond our power of expression. We heard her sing before, many times, but never as she sang that night. Perhaps the sudden demise of her beloved grandmother and the fact that she had just returned from Detroit where they laired her to rest, gave a touch of pathos of tears, of realness as she portrayed "The Erl King." The audience was held spell-bound. It was that tense quiet that no one dares to break, and as the last word "dead" fell farther hips, the hush was followed by a storm of applause. "The Russian Nightingale," "Work," "His Mammu Song," and "Love Went a-Riding," were especially encored and the group of Negro spirituals were sung with such religious fervor that the audience was delighted. Cadan's "Spring Song of the Robin Woman" was wom- HEFLIN CAVORTS AND SNORTS! (By: A. N. P.) Tom Helfin must do something to get re-elected next fall; the Democratic machine of Alabama disowned him and threw him out because he refused to stand by the regular Democratic nominee, Alfred Smith, in the last presidential election. Heyin therefore decided to run independent of the machine. But that is "Gough and ex- pensive business, this getting elected against the machine, unless the insurgent can stir up a great sensation. ...That exactly explains Heflin's present rampage; he knows that the "Negro question" is still loaded with explosives in the minds of the more ignorant voters of Alabama; and he knows that the ignorant voters are away yonder in the majority in that state. He remembers he could boast that he had shot Negro about a seat in a car in Washington. Now that this old Democratic machine is against him, he needs to do something desperate to get re-elected this year. He has "discovered," what every other intelligent person has known all along, that a few white and colored persons get married in New York state instead of associating together like animals, which is the fashion in Alabama. He knows well that of actual sex relations between the races, there is a thousand times more of it in Alabama than in New York, that there is more of it in the City of Birmingham than in all the State of New York. But he also knows that voters who are too ignorant to be interested in, in any other appeal, about economics, or politics, or international relations, can yet be interested in the sex appeal. He knows that to cry "nigger" and "sex" in the some breath will get him more attention from a constituent, like that, than can any. But let us fail to Helfin; he did other proposition, try to stir up attention and get support by some slightly less indecent activities, but they just didn't work: first, he promised his voters to throw Oscar- DePriest out of the senate lunch room, but when he saw Oscar, that individual looked altogether too husky and unconcerned. So that did not work. Next, when ex-president Taft resigned from Chief Justiceship Helfin very undelicately declared that the great Chief Justice had been "tricked" into resigning and that there was something dark and terrible somewhere. But all the world knew better. So that did not work. Therefore, Senator Tom in desperation has fallen back on the old reliable sex-aspects of the "Negro question." He thinks that will not fail him in Alabama. He says that they need some Ku Klux activities in New York especially in Harlem. He wants some demonstration to break up interracial "dancing" in New York, although in Alabama interracial sex-relation are going on by the houseful. Perhaps Heflin has not heard that years ago Mayor Hylan offered the Ku Klux Klan a willing permit to parade in New York provided only that they would form and start their march from 1535th Street and Lenox Avenue. Perhaps Heflin is now ready to accept that offer. We respectfully suggest that the "fightin" senator from Alabama shall head the parade. confidently predict that his march will be interesting, even if very short. Southern States War On Illiteracy Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 25—Tennessee joined the ranks of those southern states conducting a battle against illiteracy here last week, when several counties launched a drive against this menace to the advancement of the state. Night schools for adults of both races have been opened in various sections and reports have it that the grown-ups are responding to the invitation to attend in a very encouraging and gratifying manner. Such a drive was launched in South Carolina several weeks ago and the results have been unusual, according to the reports of those conducting the campaign. J. H.

Charges Against Magistrate Rudich Brooklyn Bar Sustains N. A. A. C. P. Charges Against Magistrate Rudich N. A. A. C. P. ASKS NEW TRIAL OF POLICE OFFICER WHO SHOT RALP BAKER Nw York, Jan. 631. In its report made public Wednesday the Grievance Committee of the Brooklyn Bar Association sustained in every detail charges made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that Magistrate Mark Rusich erred in dismissing the case against Patrolman Walter Lowe who shot Ralph Baker, young Lincoln University student last Sept. 9, at the Troy Avenue Station of the Brooklyn elevated. The committee of lawyers, before whom N. A. A. C. P. representatives appeared, reported: "A majority of the committee think the Magistrate irredent in freeing Lowe. Lowe was not assaulted by Baker and it is doubtful if he was unjustifiably assaulted by anyone. If he was not, none crime had been committed and the man was not justified in arresting no one. His acts in the alleged at-office will send a fleeing man had anybody. This man and his conduct tempt to apprehend a fleeing man had no justification in law, which brougrees a was assault in the second issue of felony, and the Magistrate should have held him for the grand jury." One member of the committee, Francis L. Archer, made his condemnation of Magistrate William Rudgich, even stronger, urging that the Magistrate should not be appointed. The N. A. A. C. P. on the strength of this report, promptly wrote to Chief Magistrate William McAdoo, asking that he order the arrest of Police Officer Lowe on a charge of felonious assault, and that the case be heard before another magistrate. In its letter, signed by Walter White, Acting Secretary, the N. A. A. C. P. writes: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been interested in this case since its inception, has supplied counsel for Ralph Baker, and gathered most of the witnesses. It stands ready to continue to render this assistance to the authorities. In view of the unequivocal language of both the majority and minority reports of the Brooklyn Bar-Association, we urge immediate action against Lowe and pledge our continued assistance to the end that this wanton shooting of a wholly innocent person may be punished. Mr. Baker not only lay at the point of death for some time in a hospital but he has been forced to give up completing his college career at Lincoln University because of the shooting and the effect of it upon his health. "We feel most strongly that failure to prosecute Lowe vigorously would be a serious miscarriage of justice and one which would have a most deleterious effect upon the cause of justice in the New York counts."

Specific acknowledgment to the N. A. A. C. P. is made by the "World Service" of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as Sollows.

Macbeth. The de- sire for money and the jealousy arous- ed when Negroes received the plaud- its and hero worship of the sporting throngs has led to a steady and sys- tematic elimination of the colored boys from the riding game just as efforts are being made to freeze them out of all sorts of preferred employment, the writer points out while he observes: “Negro race riders in. America are fast disappearing. Slowly, but. sure- by, they are droppiiig from the hazar- lous steeplechasing sport after having practically disappeared from the fiat. Last season there were not half a doz- en Negro jockeys and not many more cross-country riders.

THEATRE | NTRAL AVE. mm INSTALLED 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 VOLUME 42 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1930 No. 39 SHEFFIELD IN SANQUENTIN-REPORT ERRONEOUS Watts Movie House Draws the Color Line IN A BUSINESS way when a Negro fights another Negro he fights his shadow. LET US LEARN to differ politically without injecting our political differences into our social activities. THE GREATEST WEAPON for defeating racial prejudices is tolerance, says a wise old Chinese proverb. As members of the black race, but at the same time, law-abiding Americans, after having suffered almost God-like self-restraint in the face of discrimination in residential restriction, accommodation in public places, etc., etc., directed especially against us, we are at that place where tolerance ceases to be a virtue. IF WE ARE to judge the actions of the suposedly Americans, such as the manager of the Largo Motion Picture house, Watts, who tells a clean, cultured young American woman that in asking her to accept a seat in Jim Crow row that he is carrying out the wishes of the Parent Teachers' Association, the Churches and the citizens in general of Watts, in so doing then we have reached the place where we will have to make a united fight for economic freedom. If white Christians can stop praying long enough to interfere with the management of a cheap little moving picture house, such as the Iargo, where mostly children go, for diversion and recreation, at this time we rise to suggest to the ministry, civic and social organizations of South Los Angeles and vicinity, that a community boycott movement be launched against this picture house—there is only one way to make this manager realize the significance of this insult, and that is by causing him to miss the nickels and dimes thrown into his coffers weekly by black folk. UNLIKE ALIENS, we have not come to the United States to partake of its prosperity. We are a part of this nation, having come into being with it and knowing our country as we do, we are cognizant of the fact that ALL Americans are not bounded on all four sides by Race Prejudice. There are those who are well aware of the fact that the Negro in science, art and literature has made his place in the life of Apollo and the prime reason for him the EAC by poor whites in their effort to certain doors of opportunity. Negro's face is due to the fact that they realize that in his desire for education and better living conditions, the Negro has by far surpassed him, hence it is not so much the difference of color but the nickel under the foot that he is after. "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 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. "This is the first time in the history of the United States Census Bureau that a Negro has been appointed a supervisor." Why can't Los Angeles get some real recognition along this line? We are not united in anything but the Knockers' Association. It appears to me that the Negro of today is too far advanced to stand quietly by and let himself be Jim-crowed, without without making a fight or questioning the why and wherefore of it; but it seems as if that is just what we are doing. Going into a little, cheap, ten-cent show up Watts, called the "Largo." I purchased tickets for a little girl and myself, paying the price required for any seat in the house—for they have only, one price for all seats—twenty-five cents for adults and fifteen cents for children. I seated myself and prepared to enjoy the picture. I was then informed by the usherette that we would have to move out of the center and sit on the side. I inquired the reason for this as all the seats were the same price, and I had always sat any place I paid my money to sit, as it was perfectly good United States money. I was told that it was the manager's orders. I then informed the usherette that I refused to move. She went away but came back again to annoy and interrupt my seeing the picture, by saying that the manager said we could not sit in the center row. I then demanded to see the manager. He appeared. I then asked him why I should be annoyed as I had paid my money to see the picture like other citizens of the United States? He informed me that I was asked to move on the side because the wise people of the community of Watts were kicking because they had to sit by the colored people, and that he was trying please other people by taking my money and asking me to set where he told me. "I told the gentleman that this was a free State and also that his show house was a public place with one price on all seats, and furthermore, that that was only a community show, also that if he took the colored citizens' money they were entitled to the same privileges as the white people, and that I would see an attorney and see why after paying the same price as other people I had to sit where he desired I should. I was then informed that there was not another Negro except the little girl and myself sitting in the center, also that his reasons for this was the P. T. A. poor class of white people had asked and other associations besides the poor class of white people had asked him to segregate the Negro. He said also that I was the only Negro to question his right to tell me where I should be seated. Therefore I must have been the only Neero that had nerve and sense enough to stand up for my rights, for there was a crowd of them in the theatre at the time; and most always there is quite a few that go, for the community is fifty per cent black. But they had paid their money and were content to sit on the side and let that terrible monster, Jimcrow reign. Imagine after paying the same United States Money as the rest of the people then suffer to be checked off on one side. Really I didn't know that OUR RACE OF TODAY could be so WEAK and show such IGNORANCE as to their rights. We are advancing in everything exert standing up and demanding our rights... So people, why not wake-up and take notice of what is going on and what is being heaped upon us. The manager also tried to "sweet talk" me by saying how bright and intelligent I was, and how much sense the colored people have and that he would just as soon sit amongst the colored people as not, and it was not his wish to segregate, but it was the poor class of white people. After all of this "salve" he tried to show me me where the seats on the side were good seats and why I should persist in being different from the rest of the colored people. Co-Operation Abroad BY MENTIS CARRERE In every age various peoples have employed collective means to free themselves from certain perplexed and oppressed conditions. The United States freed herself from the economic pressure of England by means of warfare; the Jews freed themselves from Egyptian bondage by wholesale migration, and Russia from Czarism by means of a bloody revolution. In every case economic pressure was the cause of the revolt, and in every instance economic relief and development was the first objective. America, having already possessed the machinery of production and distribution within her own borders, backed up her war victories, with greater economic development. The Jews, being led from Egypt by Divine Power, had free rations for many years, so as to make effective their wholesale migration. After the revolution Russia at once began to develop a system of distribution and production among the masses, and by that means has been able to withstand adverse criticism, international boycot, and defeat the enemies within her borders and without. Where two or more races reside within the same borders, under the same government, and where one of those races is oppressed, there is a more powerful means of obtaining freedom by the oppressed race than by war, bloody revolution, or wholesale migration. That means of power is economic co-operation. Economic co-operation not only gives relief to the oppressed, but being permanent, forms a basis for all around racial and national advancement. It builds the oppressed without begging or fighting and leaves no bitterness behind. This (Continued On Page Five) Says Negroes Are Not More Susceptible To Disease than Other Races (By A. N. P.) Greensboro N. C., Mar. 4.—Franklin O. Nichols, representing the American Social Hygiene Association of New York City, and an authority on sex hygiene, delivered a series of lectures during the week to the student body of A. and T. College. The first lecture on "Problems of Negro Family Life" stressed certain historic facts which have led up to the problems which face the Negro family builder today, yet he stated that the Negro had made a distinct contribution in his adaptation to the present situation. He stated further that, the Negro was not more susceptible to any disease than was any other race, under the same conditions. The second lecture was on "Marriage and Parenthood." He stated that there were four subjects that every individual who contemplated marriage should acquaint himself, namely, biology, which helps one to understand himself; second, economics; third, the mating life, and fourth his own philosophy. The third lecture was on the "Place Sex Education holds in Formal Education." He stated that college students should be intelligent on sex questions, not only as a personal asset, but because they are the future teachers and leaders of the race and because DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION APPOINTED WEDNESDAY BY DISTRICT ATTORNEY HON. BURON FITT Attorney Leon Whitaker who qualified as No. 9 on the list of eligibles for the position of Deputy District Attorney in a recent Civil Service examination, the result of which was announced on last Tuesday, was appointed by District Attorney Buron Fitts at 10:40 A.M. on the following day Wednesday. This act on the part of Mr. Fitts makes the first appointment given to our group in any large center west of Chicago and of course is a distinct forward step in the line of deserved recognition. Mr. Fitts in making this appointment but fulfills what has been his desire to recognize all parts of his constituents in filling out this great office. For he said when any attorney of the race qualifies upon the civil service list he would have no hesitancy in making the appointment. Mr. Whitaker is 27 years of age, born in Rome, Georgia came with his family to California in 1904 reared and educated in this city, was an honor student in high school, college and law school, graduating at U. C. Berkley. Has been in the active practice of his profession for one year and five months during which time he has been very successful. Having conducted one famous murder trial and had another case pending which he will have to relinquish on, account of accepting his present position. His appointment takes effect March 15th. He has already been assigned his office which is room 608 Hall of Justice. Aside from his busy practice, Mr. Whitaker has ever been active in fraternal and civic affairs, he was chairman of the Community Betterment and Quarterly Conference Committee of Benj. Bowie Post, American Legion; the Legal Committee of the local N. A. A. C. P.; a member of the Masonic fraternity. He was married August 21, 1928 to Miss Hazel Theodora Gottschalk, public school teacher and niece to Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Edwards and resides at 1330 E. 17th St. Mr. Whitaker therefore goes into the office with the endorsement and best wishes of 99 per cent of our citizenry, who have an abiding faith in his ability to make good in every respect.

M. a Monster Community Hospital Association Mass Meeting will be held at Independent Church. Golden State Insur- ance Company March 3, 1930. To the Members of the Golden State Guarantee Fund Ins. Co., of Los Angeles, California, In Annual Session Assembled. GREETINGS Today we have been operating as a Life, Health, Accident and Endowment Insurance Company exactly four years, seven months, and ten days. During this time we paid out to policyholders $158,609.18. Our claims paid for 1929 alone were $64,869.04. Number of death losses during the year were forty-seven. Two years ago our assets were $41,941.06. At the end of the year 1929 it was $73,032.92. Our assets have doubled our guarantee fund nearly five times since July 23, 1925. For this wonderful showing too much credit cannot be given to our wonderful staff of agents, for without hard working loyal agents, no company can get anywhere any more than an automobile can travel without wheels. So, we are to commend these noble persons. During the year we trained many new agents, average time spent on each agent in training is three weeks, giving us a net increase of nineteen agents for the year. We do not feel that we can give too much credit to our loyal policyholders who have stuck by their policies and kept them up. A loyal continuance of every life policy by our membership will in time make it possible for them to get a maximum dividend each year, thereby decreasing the cost of their insurance. The Company in its last determination of assets and liabilities set aside more than $500,00 to be distributed to Charter Members of this company to be paid at the time of their next premium is due this year. The Company having properly laid the foundation for future distribution of such policy dividends as may accrue each year hereafter, every member may safely look forward to this end. Your President has charge of the Life Department and the Vice-President and Director of Agencies, Mr. Geo. A. Beavers, Jr., has charge of the Health and Accident Department. Both departments have rapidly increased in income and net gain. Under the Life Department there was written during the year $564,900 worth of business and by the end of the year there was $931,121 worth of life business on the books, lacking only $68,478.50 having a million dollars in force. If present plans carry, by end of the year 1930 we hope to have at least a million and a quarter insurance in force on the books. It is the aim of the founders of this (Continued on Page Six MRS. S. G. HAMILTON LOSES FATHER MRS. S. G. HAMILTON LOSES FATHER Mrs. S. G. Hamilton received the sad intelligence Sunday of the sudden passing of her father. N. T. Mitchell of Marshall, Texas, Mr. Mitchell was 72 years of age and had the distinction of being one of the oldest pedagogians of Texas. He was the father of quite an illustrious family, one daughter, Mrs. J. O. Thomas is the wife of the National Field Secretary of the Urban League, Atlanta, Ga. Another daughter, Mrs. Lucille Mitchell, is one of the outstanding public school teachers of Determined to keep the construction of all county buildings under their original estimates and bring about efficiency in the management of the greatly over-crowded General Hospital, Supervisor Frank L. Shaw of this district this week forced through action by the Board of Supervisors to block extravagance in the construction of the county's new general hospital and requested District Attorney Buron Fits to cause a thorough investigation of the present hospital with a view of taking the matter before the 1930 Grand Jury if the results justify such drastic action. Acting on Supervisor Shaw's motion, the County Board instructed the architects to re-draft specifications for the new acute unit of the hospital in order that the construction will come within the estimates and the county will be saved $6,000,000, which represents the excessive cost anticipated because of extravagant specifications. Insisting the conferences and action on the doomed "high specifications" be held in public, Mr. Shaw made the motion that the Allee Architects, who have already received $635,000 in fees from the county for their work on the new general hospital, be instructed to re-write the specifications in order that bids commensurate with the original estimates on this imposing structure could be made. The meeting was held in public and the county board was unanimous in support of Supervisor Shaw. Supervisor Shaw's request for a complete inquiry into complaints on the management and treatment of patients at the General Hospital was made to District Attorney Fitts early last week in a letter. The new Grand Jury indicated that it will consider complaints against the hospital made by former patients and employees of the institution, although, according to District Attorney Fitts, there is grave doubt that there are any grounds for criminal action shown in complaints already placed before him. The letter of Supervisor Shaw declares that he has placed the resources of his office into play in investigating complaints against the management and treatment at the hospital. In several instances, he says, it has been impossible to satisfy complaints who are desirous of greater inquiry into their particular difficulties. "Because of the charges that have been made, and because it is impossible for an administrative office such as mine to properly investigate complaints bordering on criminal charges, I have asked that the entire matter be probed by the District Attorney and the facts laid before the public, "says Supervisor Shaw. "If there are irregularities in the management of the hospital, they should be made known immediately." Dyersburg, Tenn., Feb. 25.—Because he was losing so much time from his job on account of illness, Bert Kenne, a fifty year old man, attempted to take his own life here Tuesday afternoon by cutting his throat. Keene was found by his wife a few minutes after he had slashed his throat and was rushed to the local hospital, where it was stated that his condition was critical due to the loss of blood. The news item in the last issue of this publication which bore large headline and reported M. B. Sheffield, far-famed police officer who had been convicted for bribery and sentenced to from 1 to 14 years in San Quentin and which article placed him in San Quentin was a grievous error on the part of this newspaper and we take this means of correcting the same and offering due apologies for this error. When we published the article we had every reason to believe it true. Our reporter was present at a meeting at the Elks Hall, the subject was under discussion whether Sheffield had gone to San Quentin, with about a score of persons present—some of them contended he had gone, while others said he had not—in the midst of the discussion Deputy Sheriff and Chief Inspector of the County Jail, where Sheffield is confined, walked in. All discussion ceased for here was the man whom all hands conceded could give them the facts in the case. He was askeo and stated without hesitation in positive tones that Sheffield was taken to San Quentin last Friday preceding our last issue. All argument ceased and everybody was satisfied as a matter of fact the Chief Inspector of the County Jail should know. This is the true story and circumstance which brought forth the headline in the last issue of the Soaring Eagle. We regret very much the unfortunate occurrence for surely we have no desire to place Sheffield, or anybody else in San Quentin before he gets there. Therefore our sinicere apology for the unintentional error. N. A. A. C. P. Meets Sunday, 3 P.M. N. A. A. C. P. Meets Sunday, 3 P.M. The local N. A. A. C.

For Service Call WEstmore 9331 GOLDEN STATE DEPENDABILITY WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT AND WHY The advertisement which you see here is a co-operative effort on the part of certain Independent food merchants on Central Avenue together with the co-operation of jobbers and dealers to stimulate business in the community in which their stores are located. It is called Pure Food week because they plan to feature certain standard and Universally known brands of products as well as to make you acquainted with the high grade of merchandise they really do carry. This editorial is addressed principally to our group of people, because this is your paper which has been chosen for the honor of putting the idea before the public. It is expected of every one of us, at least to give careful consideration to every advertisement on these two pages and for the sake of returning the honor, if no more, please go in the stores here named and show them that you are surely no less appreciative of the interest they have shown in choosing your paper for this important purpose. The Neighborhood independent Food Dealers as are here spoken of, is the fellow you know so well even by his first name and who knows you exactly in the same manner. He knows your children by name nad every one of them knows him. Now with this sort of acquaintance and friendship it is easy to reason that there is something more than a cold foreign business relation and interest between you. It is very easy to reason that in a time when you will be compelled to ask favors in order to meet emergencies, it is this merchant whom you know by first name you will go to. This is alright. He is glad to be of that service to you. Now, there is only one thing required of you; that you show your appreciation by giving him a trial at your business. The more successful he is the more successful the community in which you live will be. For it is this kind of merchant which spends his money where he makes it. Will you not prove your metal by patronizing him this week?

JOE BAILEY In this age of machinery with it rush and careless disregard of human life, the odds are very great against those that take a chance. Conservative statics show that one out of every ten deaths in the United States are the result of an accident, that 1500 accidents occur every day, and that automobiles alone kill more than 15,000 people each year. According to the National Health Council, sickness costs the people of this country $900,000,000 a year in lost wages alone, and that more people are kept idle by accidental injury than through lack of employment. The sole support of most wage earners and their families is their salary. The amount of that salary is the earning power of that individual, the most valuable asset that he or she possesses and under the modern scheme that asset is insurable. The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company has Health and Accident Policies to cover you no matter what your occupation may be. Policies that pay you for everyday that you miss through sickness or accident, and pay you an income for life in case of permanent total disability from an accident, and these policies are backed by the Giant Insurance Company of the West, with assets of over $162,000,000 and more than 50 years of honest dealing with the public. If you are one of those who are taking a chance on your most valuable asset, you get in touch with JOE BAILEY immediately, by calling TRINITY 3526, or EMPIRE 9984, and he will see you at your convenience, and explain to you and help you select the Protection that you need.

Then when it is served, I notice the COLOR. If it is a beautiful golden amber, I think... well, the color is good anyway.

Advantages, NO KNOWN PROCESS of roasting hold a flavor and mellow richness superior to CO-OPERATION ABROAD (Continued From Page One) method is commonly known as Consumer's Co-operation. This movement, Consumers' Cooperation, has immeasurably advanced the economic condition of the working and oppressed peoples of the world wherever instituted and supported. Starting with twenty-eight weavers in Rochdale, England, the Consumers' Co-operative movement has spread to every civilized country in the world. This movement is especially powerful in England and continental Europe, where the people engage co-operatively in every field of production, distribution, and welfare work. Since 1884, the year of its inception, the co-operative movement has increased in number from twenty-eight to seventy-five millions, twenty-five millions of these co-operators are in Russia alone. The purpose of organization of the twenty-eight weavers was to pool their meager earnings so as to buy the necessities of life more cheaply and distribute them at cost. It was not their intention to capture the trade of the outsiders, but to reduce the cost of living to themselves by co-operative wholesale buying. Furthermore these twenty-eight weavers wanted to free themselves from the credit system that prevailed in those days, and the truck shops of their employers. Their ultimate purpose was to create organizations of industry as would enable them to provide themselves with employment and the necessities of life. The results of the efforts of the Rochdale pioneers have been marvelous. The co-operatives own and operate vast establishments of distribution and production throughout Europe. They manufacture and distribute soap, margarine, corsets, hosiery, candles, furniture, hardware, brushes, sweets, and other things too numerous to mention. They own and operate great farms, having tea land in Ceylon and wheat land in Canada. They own and operate mines and have steamships plying the ocean in their own trade. Besides these they own and operate the largest insurance companies and amusement centers, and they have their own educational institutions. This movement has spread throughout Europe under various forms of governments and among diverse peoples and customs, among educated and uneducated alike. The beginning of the Co-operative Movement in every country has been humble and unnoticed, yet effective in building the masses. One form of co-operation has led to another, all in the interest of the masses. Each country has made its own peculiar contribution to the movement. For instance: England started Co-operative Distribution; Germany; Co-operative Credit; France and Belgium, Co-operative Production; Denmark and Ireland, Cooperatice Agriculture; Italy and Tripoli, Co-operative Labor. In every case, however, these contributions of countries have spread to every form of co-operation. In England last year the wholesale co-operatives did a business of over one and one-half billion of dollars. In Finland over 94% of all business is done through the co-operatives. This is remarkable when you consider that Finland is a rural country. These co-operatives have buyers stationed in every important market throughout the world, buying for co-operative consumption. During the war the co-operatives were very effective in keeping the retail prices down, and in certain parts ```markdown ``` PAGE-THREF ch 15th THE SPOT LIGHT By BILL EDWARDS The Light That Never Fails—Send if your inquiries to the Eagle concerning any social problem that is bothering you What Pryce VIRGINIA RUSSEL: Or is it her sister?

With the Deltas holding their own, and more, at GWENDOLYN DIGGS' residence—the La Vada again was packed (no tires were cut); LULA PERDUE was hostess to a whoopee making crowd—and the elite at a very exclusive affair over at CORA'S.

JIMMY HARDON is somewhat puzzled as to a rumor about the intentions of petite LAURA MURRAY, as he is the most logical contender for the hand of this little lady we would advise him not to worry so much (not that our advice is worth anything).

Instead of complaining of their lot they put their heads together and organized to create employment and to obtain cheaper food. This accomplished they were able to develop themselves socially, politically, and otherwise.

All these girls were distinguished from the other by their georgious corsages. Plenty of entertainment was furnished. Many prominent individuals were among the guests, the newest club was "The Vagabonds." The club wants to thank its many supporters and the few mothers that so willingly assisted the girls.

'You're Next' ANTIQUE ART CLUB'S FORMAL BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR This season has given us many interesting formalts, and to say the least, the one given Monday evening, Mar. 3rd, by the Antique Art Club, at the Savoy Ballroom, was indeed a marvelous affair. The Savoy Ballroom, which is in itself a decorative place, was made even more so for the splendid occasion. Everything, from the cloth of gold on the steps leading to the balcony, to the silver leafs which made up a good deal of the decorations, was letter perfect. Paul Howard's Blackbirds furnished the music, and it is needless to say that they gave their usual brand of syncopated jazz. Every woman present was superbly gowned, special attention being called to the gowns of the members, who appeared in the season's latest. They all looked dazzlingly beautiful. The officers and members of the club are: President Della Macklin Norton; Vice-Pres. Winifred McCoy; Sec'y Alice Patterson; Treasurer, Lela Walsh; Business Manager, Gladys Neal; Reporter, Jewell Pavageau, and Sopora McLaughlin, Evelyn Wallace, Iva Culpepper, Sara Patterson, Willie James, and Ursula Hirschwitz.

Mr. Charles Williams Louis Cole sang the latest in song hits, was there with his banjo. While the guests hollered for more, Very delicious refreshments were served during the evening and everyone had a swell time. May you have more birthdays, Eddie. * * * * * * This question still remains unanswered—"What was Thurman Gosey doing on Sunday, February 23rd, at about 6:15?" Send an air mail all ye who have answers. Oh these Hardon boys! How they do break into print. But the fact remains that James's seems very loness and lost without the petite little Miss Laura Murry, and Reggie gets a gang of letters from Chicago, and according to gossip has ideas, martimonially, toward someone in the "windy city". Hey, he! LABORIMUS CLUB - NEWS Members of the Laborimus Club, formerly known as the St. Agnes Guilf of the Episcopal Church, entertained with a Pre-Lenten dance at the Masonic Hall, 50th and Central Avenue, Friday 28th. Music by W. R. Rousseau and band. Refreshments were served during the evening. The meaning of "Laborimus" is "let us work," and the girls are planning many interesting things for the near future, especially a tea in March. Miss Mabel Kennard is Supervisor. * * * * * * Miss Oca Dumas, that very likable young person, is very fond of "tailors" but especially one Taylor. * * * * * * Miss Clyde Welsh, member of the Omega Gamma Rho Chapter of the Y. W. C. A., 12th Street Branch, is finding her work at the General Hospital, where she is in training, very interesting. We wish Clyde much success. The Omega Gamma Rho held their usual meeting Thursday, February 28 at the 12th Street Branch of the "Y". Meeting called to order by the Vice-President, Miss Anna Collier. The earlier portion of the meeting was devoted to business, and th elatter part of the meeting to a musical program, arranged by the Chairman of the Program Committee, Miss Dorothy O'Neal. Appearing on the program was Miss Elizabeth Jones, who played several of the latest song hits on her uke, and also sang. Mr. Charles Williams also rendered solos, accompanied by Miss Jones. Judging by the noise Luke Rosser makes, his shoes must come from Holland. He can make more racket than five men, but he certainly has the goods. If a party needs pepping, call for Luke; if we need a cheer leader, call for Luke; and if we need an entertainer, call for Luke. That boy is always full of spirits—high spirits that is.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE One Year .....$2.00 Six Months .....$1.25 Three Months .....$..75 Per Copy .....$..05 We have thirteen colored officers. These boys have really proven their efficiency over a period of eight years. As a reward for this efficiency, (with two exceptions) they have finally been planted one at a time along Alameda Street, the entire number, with mentioned exceptions is there one to be found. The whole affair is a disgrace, an insult, an injustice not only to these officers, but every citizen of Los Angeles. The time has arrived when a colored police officer cares to assert himself, dares to discuss his seniority dares to be a man. How long this condition will prevail is dependent upon how long the citizenry is going to continue casting their vote and thereby electing cowards to office. Officials whose back bone has had the lime extracted, men who lack ability through fear of public criticism to give their colored officers a square deal. The Police Dept. calls for trained men, fearless in the face of duty that at times exposes them to death. They ask no favors but are at least entitled to a reasonable beak. Folks, whenever you can speak for the minor, they themselves dare not open their mouths much less complain. *** We use to have two annual events along the line of amusements that where beyond a doubt exceptional public drawing cards. One was the ladies minstrels fostered by Mrs. Lauretta Butler, who has given her service, time, and talent in the stage training of our youth, has not received the appreciation that she should have, from the parents. They began to demand money, claiming their child was the show, when in reality many owed their training to Mrs. Butler. Sufficie to say such attitudes has caused Mrs. Butler to cease in her efforts to help Negro youth, and the public has lost two annual treats, and the participants the much needed service of two highly trained specialists. The term farm is always generally meant to emply a large chunk of BLODGET If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened tillable land. We met the other day an old friend of whom we inquires his occupation. Well says he 'I'm still operating a fish farm,' and so he is. He possess one of the most unique things imaginable. His name is Leake and his fish farm is at Watts. He grows and transports annually hundreds of penns, catfish and bass, in addition to making frogs for the market, that measure ordinary 14 inches long. When you have time go down to Watts and visit Leaks Fish Farm. Its a treat and worth ones while to hear from the lips of a Negro what three acres and 500 minnows can produce under water cultivation. --- Speaking of chain stores strange things happen. Preceeding chain stores we had circulated in our midsts endless prayers or chain prayers and the offerings of Ethiopia being religiously inclined immediately took up the business of using Uncle Sam's mail to promote its success the reward of which was helping the Masters cause. Our synthetic American brother took a slant at the business side of the Negroes profitless proposition and supplanted the prayer with shirts, ties, sox, collars and now the capitalistic octopus has started chain stores, at the expense of the little business man. --- The seperate school controversy is waxing hotter each day of our Lord and Master. Interested folks whose education will not permit them calling right out in the open each other liars, politely accuse each other verbally of not confirming their accusation to what Websters Unabridged terms de rufus. Of course since nothing can be done about the thinking side, it bites itself down to what Uncle Ertrum said in reply to the lawyer who hotly asked him on the witness stand "Do you mean to call me a liar." No, sir. Iaint calling youse a liar but to tell the truth I strongly speak you of being one. In the mean time the question is still debatable. Did he or did he not. *** "Incidentally one must have some respect for the voracity of several witness, said old man gossip to which A Deacon replied, ooes you mean to doubt de aracity of our pastor? Order order please remember you are in the city limits. Golden state held its annual meeting last Monday and brought history to past. Those not present missed a real treat. The revocation of the permit of the Liberty Dance was no great surprise to those hearing the testimony presented to the police commission by prosecution, witness, namely & mother, daughter and police sargeant. However we do not agree altogether with the sargeants based evidence as to occurrences there. I'm satisfied that what the Philipine is doing in this country to degrade morals pales into signiture when compared to the white man's exploitations of the Philippines islands, along all lines from associating with their women to legislating measures controlling their business. Folks who live in glass houses should not throw stones even if the rock is pitched by one of their kind in a police uniform. Folks who live on E. 41st Street were almost caught napping last Tuesday when the ettort to plant a night club right in their very midst in the guise of a dime and dance restaurant was re-submitted. The presence of residences at the hearing apparently cause those seeking same to cover up and seek shelter temporarily by having the matter twice laid over, in belated hope that the tolls might be caught napping and favorable vote taken. SAN DIEGO SECTION Many out-of-town visitors were attracted to our beautiful Bay City during the past week; among theme were Mr. and Mrs. Carl Smith of Los Angeles, week-end guests of Mrs. Marguerite Chance, proprietress of the popular and well known "Our Dairy Lunch."

Jail doors that clanged on Los Angeles prisoners more than half a century ago, and which have been buried in partition walls thirty-five years were opened recently when Capt. Peoples of the Sheriff's office and Policeman Ray Cottle of the Los Angeles Department, who wears Badge No. 1, battered down masonry and exposed the ancient iron bars of Los Angeles' first city jail, at 211 West Second Street. The Miller Desk and Safe Co., at 211 W. 2nd St., whose expansion program recently caused the tearing down of walls some 3 feet thick, made the showing of the old bastile doors, a feature of the opening of their new steel office equipment addition recently. According to officer Cottle, the jail was erected about fifty three years ago, and had been closed for about thirty-five years. He remembers vividly many of the stirring events connected with the early history of the jail. "I booked two men for murder right at this spot", he said, moving over tothe middle of the room. "The old jail was in the back and the office was here. I booked a policeman here for murder after he had killed his woe and mother and his father in law. He was hanged." Officer Cottle has been seen on the force forty years and six months, he said, and is the oldest man in the department. The criminals of the old days were different, he declared. If they had it in for you they fought it out, and did not shoot you in the back, or take you for a ride. Three steel doors were found imbedded in the walls. The cells had been taken out, but standing in front of the middle cell was known as the "cooler", and it was just that. Pipes led across the top of the cell and when a person was put in and did not shut up, the water was turned on and he was given a free bath. line of Filing Equipment for Legal Size. Used Rugs.

REPORT OF PRESIDENT OF GOLDEN STATE INSURANCE COMPANY (Continued From Page. One) Company to make the greatest company operated by black people in America. We proudly state that no company operated in this country is operated more scientifically than the Golden State, and from the Life production reports from the older companies, in comparison with our size, age and territory, our Life agents are not outranked by any of the bigger companies. So we have only to be proud, if we will but press onward and forward. An insurance company to be regarded financially sound under the insurance laws should estimate liberally what its obligations are to be in the future and set aside, from its funds, sufficient sums to meet these obligations as they mature. This is exactly what the Golden State does. This is an age of advancement. A few years ago men travelled in ox carts. Today they travel in autos and airplaines. If a man gets sick he sends for the best trained and experienced physician. Surely he would not send for a shoemaker to make a diagnosis of his illness. When his automobile gets out of fix he does not seek a tailor. So you see, the trend of the times is toward specialization. When you need insurance, you see the insurance agent. That is why we train our agents so when they go to prospects they know what they are about—fully capable to give competent advice and service to the insuring public as a specialist in his line. The success of any company as above stated, depends upon an intelligent staff of agents wisely directed by competent officers supported by a loyal board of directors. WHAT OF THE FUTURE? This question confronts every policy-holder. In this connection, you cannot think of the successful future of the Golden State without thinking at the same time of the opportunity for the success of your children. And after all, dear members, we can think only of the future, for the past is dead; the present is passing. What the race has done in the past forms but a foundation for future growth and so with our company. It is our duty as members therefore, not to be satisfied with our past success only; there is no such thing as standing still. We must go forward or backward. Now as to whether we go forward or backward depends upon us as members. If we go forward, it will be on account of co-operation, specialization, concentration and team work effort. Co-operation from our members has increased our income from $34,131.00 in 1925 to $188,846.77 in 1929. Our outlook is not backward, but forward; forward to a future that holds treasures of success, which we may reach only by co-operation, building goodwill and doing team work. Ever holding the interest of the Company first, I am, Yours for a greater Golden State, Wm. NICKERSON, JR.

MOORE ON PROGRAM Sierra Madre, Feb. 27.—A large and interested group of men and women attended the afternoon session of the Woman's Club yesterday to hear the discussion of Rev. Elbert W. Moore, colored minister of the Metropolitan Baptist Church of Pasadena, on "What Counts in America, Color or Character?" TELLS OF WORK He told yesterday of work being done for the uplift of the Negro and of problems confronting his race in and around Southern California today. In the land of the free, the Negro is handicapped in his efforts to rise above the servant class, he declared, and called attention to the fact that no law can govern social equality. He related many interesting personal experiences and told of the starting of the association which has been of great aid to the Negro, by Jane Addams and other prominent people in the country who realized the need for such an organization. Mrs. Helen A. Moore, wife of the minister, sang delightfully a group of Negro Spirituals by Burleigh, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Myrtle G. Hill. Mrs. Emil Sturmthalm program chairman of the club, introduced Mrs. Alice Los Angeles Baptist Ministers' Union The Los Angeles Baptist Ministers Union met at its usual hour—1 P. M. Monday, March 3rd, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 37th and Griffith Ave. Devotional exercises were very helpfully carried out. Six churches reported, and each of them gave inspiration and encouragement to the brethren by the spiritual uplift, and outlook, accessions, and general support of its program, as related by the several pastors. Three of our brethren from the East and a brother in charge of work among the Mexicans in Los Angeles County, were introduced and made welcome. Brief remarks from them met with acceptance and appreciation by brethren of the Union. Rev. Dr. W. H. Rozier was the order of the day; and was presented by Rev. Dr. W. R. Carter, Chairman of the Program Committee. The assigned subject—"Prayer Life of the Minister"—was faithfully discussed by Dr. Rozier, and energetically driven home as (1) The Minister's Obligation; (2) The Minister's Privilege and joy; (3) The Minister's safe-guard and benefit. Dr. Rozier was earnest, and at his best. He justly deserved the unanimous commendation which the brethren gave him. Miss Clifford Freeman, of Santa Barbara, the noteo Spiritual Singer, gave us a beautiful rendition, perfectly in keeping with the subject of the day. She was heartily cheered. H. D. PROWD. Reporter. UNIOQUE PARTY A number of girls of the Louise Beverly Ensemble were hostess to about thirty guests at a very novel party given at the Louise Beverly Studio of classical dancing on the evening of Friday, Feb. 21st.

Doris Colley a charming five year old student and the surprise of the evening was darling beyond description in "a fairy by the lake" and "Spanish Caprice." Alva Warren with her litheness and grace as the Hindu Maiden made a picture so realistic and beautiful that the audience was transported to India for the moment. Inez Robertson as the temple dancer manifested an understanding and poise not generally seen in student cancers. At the conclusion of the program refreshments were served after which Clara C. Hilbert gave a timely address on the need of development of the higher arts in our group. Colored People, who in turn introduced the musicians. Bouquets of flowers, the gift of Miss Ella Sheparo Bush, were presented to Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Hill at the close of the musical program. Cunningham, director of the Pasadena Association for the Advancement of SECTIONS MEET Mrs. Etiel Davis and Mrs. J. M. Campbell presided at the tea table which was decorated in a combination Valentine and patriotic motif. A large heart of sweet peas was centered in wide ribbon bands of red, white and blue.

M. under the leadership of Mrs. A. A. Halsey, and the book review section met at 11. Mrs. O. B. Manchester gave her interesting monthly book talk and conducted an open forum which has been established as a special feature of the section. "Flowers of Our Lost Romance" by Lumnis; "King Spider" by Lewis; "Hans Frost" by Walpole and "All Our Yesterday's" by Tomlinson, were among the books reviewed. Phyllis Bottomone's "Windlestraws" was given much attention and "The Galaxy" by Susan Ertz, was especially recommended for fiction reading.—Pasadena Star News, February 27 1930 Prominent Undertaker Visits Los Angeles Mr. L.

Dr. Vernon Johns, President of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, will deliver the Sunday School Congress annual address at 3:00 P. M. Sunday, June 15th.

THIS IS ENTRY WEEK IN THE EAGLE'S GREAT PRIZE (Continued from Page One) mice sees only the hole in the doughnut, while the optimist—well, you can escape the rest. Now the reason for the above statement is that the California Eagle will on Saturday night, April 26, award the above mentioned prizes—eight in all—to the most energetic hustlers in Los Angeles and vicinity, and the opportunity to enter this campaign and make themselves important factors, and probably winners of the very best prizes is actually calling aloud. Why, it's anybody's race for the prize Essex Sedan, or Five Hundred Dollars. Here is an opportunity, surely, for the man or woman that looks at the thing from a business point of view, and who arrives at the conclusion of its merits as to the best way it appeals to them as a business proposition. The fact that a person is not a salesman, or has any selling experience, need not prevent them from entering the campaign and sharing in these valuable awards. One may have all the necessary qualities and not realize the possession. When a person obtains a position he is selling himself, his talents to his employer. When a man goes to a bank to borrow money, he is selling his security in return for a loan. There are hundreds of other examples in the lives of every person where the different branches of salesmanship are used. We are all naturel born salesmen, and the handsome awards will go to the ones who have used their spare time to the greatest advantage in obtaining subscription payments from new and old subscribers to this paper. "I was so impressed by the fairness of your offer," said a young matron as she registered her name and address at the office, "that I decided to enter and try for one of those wonderful prizes. Of course I am quite busy and my friends have said they don't see where I have the time to devote to the campaign—but I see lots of people every day and it isn't going to take any longer to let them know that I am in the campaign and secure their subscription to the Eagle than it is to say—How's your health, and what wonderful weather we are having and don't it just make you sick to have the house all clean, splic, and span and then have a wind storm blow up, etc. Then too, you are publishing a very good weekly newspaper, and I am sure it will be a very profitable and pleasant undertaking to secure subscriptions to the Eagle." This young lady had the right idea. So let's go! There is no denial without a trial! Get in today. Ride in your own car—April 26th. St. Paul Baptist Church Unity He 4118 Cent St. Paul Baptist Church Unity Health Life Center The one great sim 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, want, sorrow and the many problems that appear to take the joy 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.

P. E. REED THRILLS ZION FOLLOWERS P. E. REED THRILLS ZION FOLLOWERS On February 2nd, the first Sunday a large crowd at Zion was thrilled by the wonderful message of the Presiding Elder, Rev. G. W. Reed. Rev Reed's sermons are always spontaneous and ring with true sincerity. He administered the Lord's Supper with his usual impressiveness. There were three additions to the Church. Rev Reed filled the pulpit in the evening and preached to an appreciative audience. The joint Revival between the First Church of Christ, Holiness, and the A. M. E. Zion Church was a great success. Those who started in with the services on the evening of the 4th were unable to stay away and followed the meetings to the finish. On the evening of the 18th, the last night, enthusiasm was still at its height. Rev Moore and Bishop Washington have demonstrated the wondrous co-operation which can exist between Christians of any denomination. The labors of these two ministers were rewarded with a large number of converts and new members, not to speak of the blessings received by the old members. The outstanding feature of the services on February 10th was the beautiful solo rendered by Mrs. Bertha Sprull. Mrs. Sprull is one of our own and never fails to please. On the morning of February 23rd, Zion had as its visitors the Women's Auxiliary of Stauon Post, G. A. R. There was true spirit and earnestness in Rev. Moore's sermon. A large United States flag was presented to the church at the close of the sermon by the Women's Auxiliary. Bishop J. W. Martin accepted the flag on behalf of the Church in an appropriate speech. Will.of Late Rev. Redd Admitted to Probate The much talked of Last Will and Testament of Reverend Albert Red was admitted to Probate in Department Two of the Superior Court on the 21 day of February 1930. Over the objections of Attorney Curtis Taylor, counsel of Mrs. Katie Red, the widow, and Attorney Graf, (white) counsel for Mr. Essex Cook, grafted on the decease, Judge Stevens held the will valid and no proof of undue influence had been shown. Mr. Beverly T. Brown, prominent business man, beneficiary of the Will represented by Attorney Lewis K. Beeks, was also appointed executor of the estate according to the terms of the Will. HELP ONE ANOTHER HELP ONE ANOTHER Well. How? To dam everybody! I would answer not! What are you going to do then? I would say help one another. You tell me how to help one another, and I shall take a lesson from you. First help yourself. How can you help yourself with nothing to help with? I would say first seek for something. What are you going to seek for? Help. Tell me how. There are five classes of folk we know, and the individual who has the most power, and best standing should help the little fellow climb upward. How? Will something to eat help? In some places, I do not wonder that the little fellow stays angry all the time. Well how? Have you ever stopped to think how much a dog will love you when you pat him just a little on the head. Take a stick and hit him, what will he do? Sometimes he will bite, sometimes he will run. I do not understand you, can you understand yourself? Yes, what about it? I will speak for myself. I liked to be helped in every way that is good. Oh yes, that is what the little fellow wants. He wants true friendship, encouragement, and perfect love. Did God have perfect love? Yes, and his love casts out all fear. He did not choose any special people to love. He decided that as He had made all. He would love all alike. God left it to the individual to work out his own soul salvation. To my mind I prefer God, and His Son, Jesus, as my foundation. Miss M. M. VINCENT, Author Pasadena Section By CAROL ECHOLS INTER RACIAL FORUM INTER-HACIAL FORUM The Pasadena Inter-Racial Forum held in the lecture room of the Public Library Sunday afternoon, enjoyed a splendid thought-provoking speech by Dr. William Prosser of Pittsburgh, Pa. a doctor of philosophy and a Methdist minister. His subject was "World Unity and How to Realize It. A few of the points made by the Doctor are as follows: (1) We shall not solve the racial problem until we solve the human problem. He earnestly and clearly backed up his views with Scriptural quotations. (2) The Kingdom of God on earth is a state of affairs where every man will receive just compensation for his services rendered. (3) Poverty will be absent from society. (4) Disease will be banished. (5) Every man will serve God under his own vine and fig, spirituality will be quite universal, making useless the need of churches and ministers. (6) Ministers should not be paid salaries, then probably they would speak the truth and espouse the cause of the underdog without fearing the loss of their salary. (7) The Kingdom of God is an institution of Justice. (9) It is a cosmopolitan kingdom. The many gates that lead to the four directions are for the admission of the races of the world." Our comment: The talk was good, though the speaker was hampered by a lack of time by numerous misunderstandings that were voiced in the audience. His doctrine was Biblical and spiritual, though not the least bit orthodox or church. Altogether, the message savored of Plato's "Republic," or Sir Thomas Moore's "Utopia" only that Christian principles were said to be the guiding force in the Kingdom. The attendance was the largest since the meetings have been functioning. Several machine loads of people, visited from Los Angeles. We are indeed encouraged to note the interest shown by persons in the surrounding cities as well as local dwellers. Rey, T. L. Lawson, pastor of the Lincoln avenue Baptist church has just undergone an operation at the General Hospital. The pastor has been seriously ill for several months; doctors say that he will show rapid improvement since his operation. Mrs. Allan, mother of Miss Ruby W. hinton, is ill. Mrs. J. W. Henderson, 195 W. Claremont is still sick. Mrs. J. T. Whittaker has been confined to bed. Mrs. F. Farrow and Mrs. E. Wright are better. CHURCHES CHUPCHES Mohammed, Baptist, Rev. K. W. Moore, pastor.

SCOTT METHODISTS OFFERED CONGRATULATIONS HERE Members of Scott Methodist church, formerly Scott chapel, were felled last night by members of other churches of the city upon the occasion of dedicating Buckner Hall, the social hall of the new edifice, 55 Mary street. Women of the church served a delicous turkey dinner to a large crowd, after which a short program was given, presided over by the popular pastor, Rev. B. J. Jordan. Dr. Walter C. Buckner, superintendent of Methodist churches of the Pasadena district for whom this hall is named, was one of the speakers of the evening and modestly denied being worthy of the honor of having the hall named for him but thanked them for the honor. Dr. Merle N. Smith, pastor of First church, was introduced and spoke feelingly of the fine spirit of the members in making the progress they have on their building venture. Praises World Here The principal speaker was Dr. A. P. Shaw, pastor of Wesley Methodist church, Los Angeles, who paid a tribute to Methodism in Pasadena for the able assistance given Scott church in its building program. He spoke of the support by what is known as the Pasadena Methodist Council of which Dr. Buckner is chairman, of the aid by First church and all the other churches, and cautioned Scott church members that their responsibilities to the race and the community had been increased, urging them to continue to prove worthy. Dr. Shaw, Dr. Ecknifer and Dr. Smith inued Rev, Mr. Jordan for his courage and ability in carrying forward this project in the face of many discounts. Guestr Thanked Pastor Jordan called on a number of honored guests present, including A. B. Stevens, J. M. Hartley and Jos. Taggart, three laymen who have helped most liberally with time and money, and Archieff S. M. Marston for church plans, and others. Brief talks were made by Mrs. Annie Roberts, president of the Ladies Aid which furnished the dinner last night, Mrs. G. H. Holland, president of the Endeavor club, made up of women of various churches.

Temple, 803 E. 32nd St. HU, 3419 or- VA, 1221 (Continued from Last Issue) BEFORE THE BABY COMES Before the baby comes it is essential that the mohter has: 1. Early consultation with a well-trained physician, complete physical examination, including pelvic measurements and frequent examinations of the urine. 2. Nourishing diet, with plenty of milk. 3. Regulation of excessive gain in weight by frequent weighing and by curtailing starch and sugar in diet. 4. Abundance of liquids, especially water. 5. Regulation of constipation, by food if possible. 6. Daily bath to increase elimination by the skin. 7. Attention to teeth. 8. Sufficient rest and sleep. 9. Work and exercise moderated to prevent fatigue! 10. Proper clothing and the possibility of recreation. 11. Outdoor airing daily and free ventilation of the bedroom. TRAINED ATTENDANCE DCR TRAINED ATTENDANCE DUR ING CONFINEMENT The skilled assistance necessary to make confinement safe demands a speci- cal training and is indeed a special branch of surgery. The best surgeon is none too good if one is suffering from appendicitis or a broken leg. A trained veterinarian is always called in for valuable farm stock. Do not the life and future health of a wife and child warrant the best medical and nursing skill available? AFTER THE BABY COMES The mother should rest in bed at least one week, and should not resume full household duties for at least one month after confinement. She needs this period of rest to heal and recuperate; to prevent hemorrhage; and to produce milk for the baby. The energy of the mother's food must not be used in up hard manual labor instead of going into breast milk for the baby. Any work by the mother sufficient to produce fatigue might delay the child's normal development. Pregnancy is not a disease—it is only health under a strain. Learn how to ease the strain. When every expectant mother is properly cared for at home and when every expectant mother has skilled supervision and attention during pregnancy, confinement and the lying-in period, Maternity Will Be Safe. The protection of maternity can no longer be evaded. This wastage of of life at birth should be stopped for not only is every infant a potential citizen, but the same conditions which account for half our infant deaths are impairing the health and vitality of those babies who survive. It is not those who die but those who live that should now be considered. MATERNAL MORTALITY Few of us realize that child-bearing at present, is dangerous as far as life is concerned. In 1916 we lost in the United States at least 16,000 women from all causes connected with child-bearing, and practically all these deaths were preventable. Child-bed fever is the most frequent cause of death among child-bearing women, and is from womb infection, largely due to the introducing of infection on the hands of the attendant at the time of child-birth. Jno. 14:26. And He manifests but one departed friend to us, Jesus Christ. Jno. 16:14. Eph. 5:30:32. Jno. 15:14. Heb. 2:11 12. No. 7—After the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He appears to the disciples—Thomas not present. He breathed on them and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. John 20:22 No. 8-For the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities for we know not what to pray for as we ought; but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Rom. 8:26. No. 9—Quench not the Spirit. 1 Thes. 5:19. Be filled with the Spirit, Eph. 5:18. Grieve not the Holy Spirit, Eph. 4:30. Live in the Spirit, Gal. 5:25. Walk in the Spirit, Gal. 5:16. No. 10—Yes. When God sent his Son into the world to seek and save the lost there were many who did not receive him as the Saviour but a many as received him to them he gave power to become the Sons of God, even to them who would be believe on his name. Therefore to become a child of God. We must receive his Son, Jesus, and be born again, that will make you a member of the Church that Jesus built. John 1:12-13, 3:1-6, 1 Cor. 4:15, 1 Peter 1:23, 2:2, 1 John 1:13, 3:9, 4:7, 5:1, 4:18. Matt. 16:18. All of these Scriptures teach a new birth is necessary in becoming a member of Jesus' Church. It was surely between these two dates A. D. 32 and 33 that the church that Jesus built was founded. See Acts 2:42-47, 4:31, 37. Compiled By W. H. Y O U N G 11308 Alabama St. So.

Frank Moran was appointed as chief boxing inspector to replace Bill Bomb nearly two years ago, and in spite of the many critical angles that develop, the many decisions to be rendered and varied controversies to be settled, he has filled his post so creditably that he numbers his friends by hosts and no other inspector in this country could have improved on his work. MR. MORAN is the type of man that may some day be a requirement of all men aspiring to such a position; that is he knows his boxing game from the inside out and the outside in. He was one of the great heavyweight contenders during the days when Jack Johnson was heavyweight champion of the world, and was easily defending his title against all comers. FRANK FOUGHT as many as sixteen battles in one year during this time which was preceding and following the outbreak of the world's war in 1914. Most of these dangerous opponents he defeated in gruelling 20-round battles which were the order in those hectic days. Among them were Joe Beckett, Bombardier Wells, then English champion, Storbeck McCarthy, Palzer and Jeck Willard.

The string of wins piled up by Eddie, since his arrival in the local fistic centre, has built him up a following behind himself that is almost as great as his popular rival Goldie Hess has in less than a year, risen from small spots on Si Saenza's weekly caros at Ocean Park to a headliner there. His popularity increasing so rapidly there that Olympic fans craved to see him in action. He was started in there with a bang and has been one of the big club's main drawing cards ever since. Mack's best recent win and one of his most spectacular battles was with Maurice Holtzer, the French flash, which took place two weeks ago. This bout was so close that many of the fans thought Maurice deserved the nod, but the bout proved that Eddie could hold his own against any style or class of opposition. Both boys are determined to win by a mile, so the fray is sure to be full of action from bell to bell. GOOD' SEMI Bennet and Portillo in the semi-windup promises a lot of fireworks that is likely to equal the main event. Leonard has been coming along steadily all the year and a win over Portillo will just about qualify him for top spots at the 18th and Grand house. A good snappy bill of preliminary events has been signed up by matchmaker Wad Wadhams so with all the boys in good shape and interest at greatest height a sell-out is predicted. GUS THE GOAT BUTTS AGAIN Dallas, Tex., Gus Sonnenberg, leading claimant to the disputed heavy-weight wrestling championship, pinned Fredy Myers, Hebrew star of Chicago, to the mat in two successive falls battle for the title. Few were lasting half that long with Jack at that time, he being in his prime, but Moran stayed the limit gamely though the black man got the decision. FRANK IS GOING away. It is the aftermath of the bout with Johnson that is calling him back to France on a four months' leave of absence from his job as state chief boxing inspector. Neither he nor Jack were paid off after this fight which occurred just a month before the World War, but they are ready to settle now and he will get over $15000 as his wages with accrued interest. Needless to say he will be greatly missed for regardless of the fact that he was a terrific fighter, there is no kinder hearted man in the world when it came to dealing with struggling preliminary boys or fighter of clubs that deserved a "break." With the colored fighter or colored manager he has been absolutely fair, impartial, and unprejudiced, and it is greatly through his influence and example, that the colored boys are positively getting their share of the bouts at most all of the club in proportion to the colored population. It is to be hoped the new commissioner and the new inspector (in case Frank does not return) will be equally as fair; if so it will mean much for the good of the game. GET IN THE TENNIS TOURNEY AND STREET PACE The Soaring Eagle has established a precedent in the country by sponsoring the highly beneficial recreations and outdoor sports that reacts so bountifully to the mental, moral and physical well-being of the Race. For this reason all eligible should enter the tennis meet being staged at Snyder Field on the 15th of this month and the Street Race ending there on the 30th. The City Playground department is lending its full co-operation through its Mr. Lott and Mrs. Biller, able, efficient and conscientious head of Ross Snyder Field. Many merchants throughout the city, especially on the Avenue, are lending their support and assistance, to make these annual events greater each year. A FAVORITE OUTDOOR SPORT SAYS THELMA The fellow trussed up on the pole being carried off to execution does not see any fun in it like the crowds do who laugh at the spectacle; which only goes to prove that like less a nationtakes to clean sports with its fairness the more cruel and brutal it is. Miss Thelma Porter, well known young singer and dancer brought back this photo from Shanghai, China, where she played during her recently completed Oriental tour. JOCKEY CLUB SUNDAY NIGHT LES HITE'S BAND AT To tell of individual performers and artists flocking to the Jockey Nite Club on Sunday (Professional night) is not news, but when a famous band comes out in full force, thats different. Les Hite's and his famous makers of melody, whose name has for a long time spelled the very spice of Jazzonio's joy jems will head the long list of guests artists at the colorful 23rd and Central beauty center. This will be the first one of the 19 or more bands in the city that will appear at the new club on professional nights. In addition to these artists large number of others will appear among whom are Mickey Ferguson famous white singer of United Artists Studios. LAST SUNDAY NIGHT SCORES Preceded by a Saturday night of entertainment that brought out some of the elite of Hollywood, last Sunday the second Professional night in the club's brief history was a big event to the crowds that filled the beautiful auditorium. Heading the list of the celebrated guests artists was the noted baritone Walt Richardson on the last leg of a world tour with his accompanist Reginald Forsythe. To great applause and encores he rendered, "King For A Day," "Smile When You Feel Blue." "I Got To Be Where You Are." Claude Collins sang. "I'm Crying for My Carolyne." Stompy took the house for awhile and Roberta Hyson drew round after round of applause.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Lowe are the proud parents of a bouncing boy, born Tue-day, Feb. 25, 1930. Mother and son are doing nicely. During the recent visit of ex-president and Mrs. Coolidge to Los Angeles, Mrs. Oda Faulconer, as State Chairman of Legislation, California Federation of Women's Clubs, sent greetings and flowers to the Coolidge Apartment, in the Biltmore. Mrs. Coolidge's gracious answer stated "Mr. Coolidge and I appreciate your message of welcome and thank you for the basket of beautiful flowers." The card was in Mrs. Coolidge own handwriting and is now numbered among the prize possessions of Mrs. Faulconer. It took care Clark an almost obscure colored heavy to turn the trick of showing up Carrera, the imported man mountain here to garner the usual harvest of shekels from the easily gleaned pockets of the gullible American fight fan. Carrera has nothing but sheer weight ano strength and thought this served to give him a knockout over Ace. It was more luck than prowess as blinded and badly beaten he was almost out himself.

Fellows Celebrate Three hundred members of valley lodges of the Grand United Order of Odd-Fellows met to celebrate and commemorate the Founder of this Order Peter Ogden. The Sunny West Household of Ruth, No. 4948 and the local San Joaquin Lodge No. 8337, were hosts to District Grand Officers as guests of honor, with three valley lodges, Bakersfield, Fresno, and Tulare respectively, as guests also. The main speaker of the day was Rev. G. W. Reed, Grann Chaplin, of District Grand Lodge No. 32, G. U. O. of O. F., was introduced by James P. Geary of Fresno, District Grand Treasure. Rev. Reed is also secretary of the Board of Directors for the home of aged Odd Fellows, and Ruthites, and Chairman of the scholarship fund board of that organization. The subject for his address, "A Life Worth While," was fitting and proper for the occasion. The address began with the resume of Mr. Ogden's Life as "A Life Worth While. Rev, G. W. Reed in his dissertation also told of the accomplishments of the California Odd-Fellows in the Scholarship fund, the Endowment Fund, the Home for the aged-Odd-Fellows, and Ruthites, and the Interfraternal Congress. Mrs. S. L. Eggleston, district Grand Mest Nest Noble Governess of Household. No. 32, gave a short interesting talk also. March 30, the Y. M. D's, will give their first public program for their new year at the Independent Church. The organization will have complete charge of the music. The famous Y. M. D. Quintet which has been doing radio work will make their initial appearance for the Y. M. D's. The newly organized orchestra will also make its debut. New talent with new features will be presented to the public on this day. PAGE NINE COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES No. 39 associate Editor AT OLYMPIC FANS BOO LA BARBA DECISION OVER ZORRILLA Because Santiago Zorrilla's uphill battle against an opponent that held and held with his right, while he worked his left to the body in punches that were frequently low, fans booed the referee's decision Tuesday night at the Olympic that gave La Barba the decision over the game little Panamanian. It was the concensus of opinion by both white and colored that had the referee compelled La Barba to fight by rules the verdict would have been different. Bobby Bacho clearly won four out of six rounds in the semi-windup from Red Humphries, but referee Gilmore gave him a draw to the disgust of the gallery gods. Howard Fritz a beautifully built colored boy recently bought by Wirt Ross gave Leo Read a nice pasting and a thorough boxing lesson in the four round opener. Fritz shows promise of being a topnotcher in a few months. Dutch Meyers' Scotch-Mexican at Main St. He's Scotch, he's Mexican and also allegedly Irish or some other pugnacious blood. Anyhow, Dutch Meyers says of his 165 young flash Sandy Garrison Cassamora that the fiery Spanish blood insures speed and vengefulness; the carefulness, and the Irish strain the love of battle and more battle. Garrison meets Sailor Pete Hoffman next Saturday night at Carlo Curtis' "Palace De Punch" in a main event that tops a card of knock-out possibilities. Sandy is a beautiful boxer and oh, what a puncher. He has not been in the game long, doing most of his fistic work at the Main St. Club, ending most of them by quick one and two round knock-outs. Hoffman who has fought some gruelling battles on Uncle Sam's battleships also ha san enviable record and will train plenty big guns on Sanday. An excellent supporting card fills out the Saturday nights bill. LAST WEEK'S RESULTS Jack Charcz stopped Buzzsaw Frankie Burnell in the second round last Saturday night. Dutch Easter decisioned Johnny Christmas, Negro lightweight, in the semi-windup, while Bobby Garcia, Mexican featherweight outsocked Andy Palma in the special event. Apex Featuring Tap Dance Contest As a new innovation which according to Mr. Curtis Carpentier, assistant manager, his already become a sensation at the Apex Nite Club, a series of tap dance contests began last Sunday will be continued. This Sunday, March 1st, the chorus will compete against the principals, with rivalry at its highest. Babe Matthews has already proven by an exhibition 1st week her elegibility and Eddie Anderson, last Sunday's winner is practicing in all his spare time. Following this will be some all city, all nation, open to all contests. The Apex will also enter a runner in the Eagle 4-mile street race, a month away. SMALL SAIL BOATS IN REGRETTA Small sail boats of the "ship-jack" and "cat-boat" variety will have the opportunity of showing what they can do in special races for these tiny craft to be staged by the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Department on March 15 and 16 at Gabrillo Beach, as part of the big March Regrets in which the Coast of Pacific Coast sailing vessels will compete. UPTON SAYS King George is taking the Prince of Wales has got the fever, William Howard Taft is sinking, the United States capitol takes on an appearance of a first-class battlefield and the Senators are fighting each other to recall the delegates to the arms conference, while the army of the unemployed is growing more helpless each hour, and resort to riots in an attempt to bring their plight before the President of this country for relief. Fighting and seems to be the order of the day. Senator (Nate the Negro Heath) is permitted to run wild, apparently the only persons at peace with the world are ex-President Coolidge and his wife, and Dr. Baker, who claims he has at last compared the fruit fly in the State of Florida. Plans have at last been entirely completed to organize the Dining Car Employees' Credit Union, and notice are already in the mall to members of the Dining Car Cooks and Waiters Union. Local No. 582 requesting their presence at a series of meetings, in which the following important questions, were explained. What is a Credit Union? How Does it Operate? How Will it Benefit Me? The last or these meetings were held on March 5th, and another series will be held later on this month. In a letter received by Mr. Johnson, secretary of Local No. 1692 he was informed by the extension board of his appointment as Superintendent for the Western District. Mr. Johnson has worked hard to perfect and put in operation a credit union for his local seeing the advantages of such an organization over a year ago. Now that the plans have been completed, a program has been formulated to launch a busy campaign in the interest of the movement. What should be particularly interesting to railroad men, in the fact that a recent decision has been made to enlist the membership of sleeping car employees thus forming a National Association of Dining and Sleeping Car Employees Credit Union. Mr. C. Johnson spoke in the interest of the Credit Union last week before the National Dining Car Association, touching on the subject of forming the Dining and Sleeping Car employees; National Association. Mr. J. P. Durden is the president of the National Association, and also made a short talk. The meeting was held at 868 East Jefferson street, and was attended by a large crowd. JOHN C. WILLIAMS APPPOINTED FIELD AGENT- Mr. John C. Williams, popular Southern Pacific waiter, was appointed field agent for the D. C. & W. Union last week. Mr. Williams is a very brilliant young man with the spirit of increased membership constantly before him as his goal. He is wide awake at all times; alert and capable. The organization should be commended in selection of so worthy and efficient a man as Mr. J. C. Williams. DINING CAR COOKS AND WAITERS CELEBRATE NEW FIXTURES IN CLUB-MRS. JAMES CLARK HAS TEA IN HONOR OF THE EVENT. The dining car cooks and waiters celebrated over their new fixtures recently acquired at their headquarters at a tea given by Mrs. James Clark, who acted as hostess. The affair was attended by many railroad men and their wives. Over a thousand dollars was invested in new furnishings, making the club house one of the most beautiful places to meet in on the east side. The club is located at 1150 East 12th street. Local clubs are invited to use the club for their meetings and social affairs, and can do so by making arrangements with Mr. C. Johnson, who can be found at his office in the club house around noon. One club has already made reservations and will give a dinner during the coming week. The public is invited to inspect the club at any time. JOHNSON ON JOB FOR In an interview with Mr. Clarence Jobson, wide-awake secretary of the Waiters and Cookers Union, it was learned that he is making every effort to use that members of his local get a square deal in connection with the recent medical examinations being held by the Southern Pacific. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened I have been inured by my able assistant, M. B. L. Armand, then Porter C. H. Larry has been selected to handle the ex-professional party to Globe, Arizona where Mr. Coolidge will endeavor to indicate the great dam recently constructed in that vicinity. Mr. Larry is capable of the job, having had quite a little experience in handling private cars while working in the East. At present he is a member of the quick crew operating on the Lake. 1. CARTER NO. 1. AWAITS GALL TO GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL J. Carter No. 1, who has been sick for some time suffering from an alliment of the throat, is now on the waiting list of the U. S. Government patients to get in the hospital at San Diego. Carter is an anservice man and is entitled to medical treatment from Ucile Sam. He has made many friends in this District who are all pulling for his speedy recovery. Mr. Carter endowed for quite a while to gain entrance at Sawtelle, but this institution has all they can take care of; some of the patients even sleeping in tents. C. GRAIN It is indeed regrettable that the Clatter is forced to speak of the actions of some of the men in our profession; for common decency and self-respect should teach them the laws of propriety. At a very sad affair which was held recently at Conner & Johnson's, a certain porter went so far as to forget that he was the center of attraction in a time of grief. The Clatter sincerely-hopes that this porter will wake-up and get next to himself, and be the man and gentleman that we know he can be when he wants to. There are places for all things, and times for all moods, but such actions as those which transpired on this particular occasion were all uncalled for and only serve to cast a bad reflection upon those of the sleeping car profession. Just a Pal to all the Porters Jolly, happy, full of glee: Just an humble public servant Running on the Old S. P. Drummers, salesmen, train conductors Men from every walk of life, Fused and lingered in their travels As they watched his fading light. As his life was hovering lightly Ebbing fast its precious blood Came a young man voluntarily With a cup of his own blood. But the Lord above was calling To a soul bound down on earth And He gently took him from us To his place around the hearth. Good-bye, Blackstone! came the whisper Heard from every Porter's lips For they knew the Lord would guide him C. SMITH AND J. SPRINGFIELD ROB PAUL TO PAY PETER— Some time ago (Sleepy) Smith and J. Springfield started for the west- side on Smith's gas wagon. As they approached the vicinity of Hill and Jefferson, they collided with a white driver and did quite a little damage. "Sleepy" Smith was driving. After some wrangling the boys compromised for the sum of two dollars. Upon returning to the eastside, "Sleepy" Smith turned the wheel over to Springfield, and he in turn had a coll- lision with a Mexican on Central avenue. Being in his own territory he hopped out or the car and drove a bargain with the Mexican to stand the damages done to Smith's car. This was done for two dollars, the same price they had to put out on Jefferson and Hill. That's either prosteering or robbing Paul to pay Peter. W. J. LOGAN LEAVES ON BONE DRY TRIP- W. J. Logan left these parts for the old country (Atlanta Georgia) on a cotton special. There will be no change of any prohibition agents making a mark on this trip. J. Ponder, the Georgia Peach, almost cried when he bid Logan good-bye. Atlanta being the "Georgia Peach" home. He sent his regards to every "peck" down there and told Logan to be sure and go by and see "Mr. Billy" and the mules! C. SMITH PLANS TRIP TO NEW QRLEANS... C. Smith No. 2, has been busy for the past month packing his things in preparation for a trip to New Orleans to visit his daughter. He has arranged to change lines with S. Harris of the New Orleans District, who in at the present time operating in Line 347. It is thought that Smith will try and bring back another wife with him. If he is successful it will be No. 5. It takes a lot of women for that boy. MANDLE WILLIAM R. HEARST PARTY C. G. Scott. B. Ollison and S. O. Thompson got a break last week, and took the internship party up to San Louis Ohlson. All persons who have charge of these Heart parties are allowed their meals at San Louis free of charge while waiting for the party to return from Heart's reach, but as in a great many instances, some of the parties have abused the privilege and put in a bill of excessive proportions. It got so bad that the manager stopped the privilege for sometime. Mrs. Frank Jasper wife of Porter F. Jasper and a maid in the employee of the Pullman Company acted as hostess last week offer the regular monthly meeting of the Association. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess which made the meeting a gallant affair. As a result of this new feature of the Association, it is expected that a largerer attendance will be on hand at future meetings. A San Francisco porter by the name of C. R. Porton was put off of the Clark S. P. train. The Lark recently at Watsonville he Conductor Brise. His work was finished at the time the train arrived at this station, otherwise it might not have occurred. The reason for his decision was not learned by my assistant; however, we hope to find out later. PASSENGER COMPLAINS ON PICKWICK STAGE BENCHS— A regular Pullman car patron voiced his erievement to Porter D. P. Duncan last week in regard to travel on the Pickwick sleeping car busses. He claims he was as tired after his supposed night's rest, as when he first went to bed. The beds are nothing more than a plank and a thin mattress and are exceedingly narrow. If you turn over you find yourself on the floor and if you don't turn over, you feel like h——. Of course the Clatter feels that this passenger is stretching the point a little; but that's his story, and we will have to stick to it. CHICAGO NORTHERN PORTER MARRIES OAKLAND GIRL— Forter A. Briggs, recent transfer from the Chicago Northern District to San Francisco, has been in the service 22 years. Briggs married an Oakland girl and decided to make his home in this neck of the woods where he car see and enjoy the sunshine all the year around. He says he has fought the snow and ice for last time; California will be his home for the balance of his days. H. E. WASHINGTON CALLED BIG BERTHA— H. E. Washington has been nicknamed (Big Bertha). Mr. Washington has always been known for his ardent work and help to the sick. He has always been appointed on every sick committee in the District. The porters have confidence in his ability and know that it is important to him he will take care of it in an efficient manner. His service to the Benevolent Association has been invaluable. A large crowd of Filipinos were down to the Santa Fe depot last Thursday to greet their representative on his return from Washington, D.C., where he had a conference with President Hoover in the interest of his countrymen. A brass band of 25 pieces played native strains as the crack Santa Fe "Chief" rolled up to the station. Very tall and exceptionally good looking with his wife, who is also very beautiful, the representative posed for pictures for the newspapers while 500 of his subjects looked on with glee. White people who gathered around the Filipino band when it was playing, forgot all about the recent uprisings in their praise of the music. They say that music hath charms. AUGU CAILENTE DERBY GIVES PORTER WORK— It is an ill wind that blows no good, so said the Pullman Porters operating line 28 from Los Angeles to the border or the city of San Diego, which is the means to getting to the border. Last Friday 5-car special of moving picture notables with plenty of loose change to spend, left on the Santa Fe for the border town to take in the Auga Caliente derby. The train was taken across the border and parked for the occupants use for a period of three days. All of the porters got well and had an opportunity to witness the races. This train returned to Los Angeles Monday morning. Auga Caliente is destined in the very near future to give. the porters as good a break as the famous, Kentucky derby does back east. Porters on the extra board in Los Angeles are asleep to the fact that the most of this extra gravey is going to Chicago East porters. It is a rare occasion that an extra porter of the Los Angeles District gets in on any of this business to the border retreat. Although it is rightfully theirs, it has been the practice and the custom of the platform men at the Santa Fe to use layover porters of the Chicago Eastern District for service to the border. This practice will continue as long as there is no protest against it. The writer would sure like to see the day that a Los Angeles porter could go into Chicago Eastern District under the supervision of Mr. Ruddy and get a car to the Kentucky derby! Yes, try and do it. It's up to the extra porters to fight for what rightfully belongs to them. It is far from a fair break to let Chicago East get the gravey that belongs to you. If you like the Railroad Clatter, write me a letter to that effect. Do the same thing if you do not like it. Address, C. L. Upton, 21190 30th St. E'VRY TUB MUST STAND Some porters are always talking out of place and at the wrong time, if you do not know what to say, and the right time to say it in, say nothing. You will find it the best policy. Sometimes what you do say will eventually work a hardship on you and others. Madame Chamberlain, Pullman Inspector, handed L. G. Green a package not long ago. She sees everything. Better watch your step Green. The Bankers' Special will be held in New Orleans this year. The bankers will miss John Bush, who always was assigned on this prize special. The writer and the Railroad Clatter wishes to thank Mr. H. E. Washington for the nice letter of comment he wrote on this column. Ell Arnaud had a private party of one lady recently from Santa Barbara to Del Monte. She chartered the entire car for herself! Please advise the writer what Eddie Meyers is carrying in the brief case. Is it Mexican coins which he made on that special? They is going to be some humping done if the parlor car is taken off of the Santa Barbera run, as is rumored by the Baker Heater Committee. The man that has the least to say now days is J. Prayer. C. A. Glover is still running wild. How come? Good men bucking the extra board, and pilkers operating in regular line! H. W. Weeks and L. A. Cuffin were seen with their heads together last week. Better watch your step Weeks! now. E. Jones No. 2. makes the grocery store at 42nd and Hooper his head- quarters. You know the ladies have to have their grocery. W. A. Clark is apparently satisfied.

"Dicks" that hang around the depot, turn in everything they take from the porters? SANTA FE RED CAPS— This boy Nash got a break last week when he had charge of a parlor car of movie stars to the races. What kind of a thing is that that Hawkins drives back and forth to work? They say that you cannot touch Jones on the head, but I know someone who touched his head, and they didn't touch it lightly either! Why does Normand Steward put some of his tips in his hat band when he goes home? Eddie Nash is still holding out hopes of returning to work for the Pullman Company. W. B.

FIFTH PRIZE Page-Twelve Everybody's Baby Now THE DANCE OF THE YEAR The pretty, little, peppy, song bird who made her first Western bow from the Lincoln Theatre stage has become a necessity in the lives of thousands of the Radio audience here, from Sebastian's Cotton Club.

This is Mr. J. F. Williams, one of Kansas City's best known business men, and formerly one of its best boosters. Enthused over Los Angeles and the very evident advances the race group is making he has become an Angeleno booster. Four Baseball Leagues Near Season's Close With a tie for first place existing in one municipal baseball league, and a close race for the championship in two others, four of the leagues sponsored by the municipal sports division of the Playground and Recreation Department were nearing the end of their season last week with exciting finishes promised. In the Los Angeles Winter League, afternoon division, the Los Angeles Gas and Electric baseballers were enjoying a commanding lead by reason of having won eleven out of the twelve games they have played. Sunday 40C Friday and Saturday A Great Outdoor Romance "THE This scrivener established a precedent sometime age of digging up undiscovered talent and revealing it to the limelight of the public like the uncut diamonds they are. Some girls and fallows who have never even been on a stage have more and finer talent than many who are. There are dozens of such embryo artists here but a few we present this week are: A Miss Melreese Slaughter, excellent pianist, appeared on KNX, KFQZ, KFI and Angelus Temple with Reese Dupree, baritone. Oliver Reeves (Big Six) though just a boy as yet, has a good little singing orchestra. He will be one of the country's big horn and drum men some day. Lavina Thomas is a good song and dance prospect. Pansy Speaks has the looks already; all she needs is the proper training for her much desired stage career. Viola Clay, sister of the well-known orchestra leader, Sonny Clay, is a pretty little slender Miss with natural dancing grace and ability. This in addition to a sweet disposition would advance her rapidly as a single dancing act. ACTORS RETURN As a new departure in the Negro's history in the movies fourteen colored players have returned from location off Mazlathan, Mexico, where water scenes of the "Sea Bat" were filmed. This is the largest group of Race players to ever go on location to a foreign country. Nathan Curry, veteran or silent films and one of the first to play an important role in the talks, reports that the trip was a revelation to all concerned. Headed by Harold Slickum Garrison, assistant to director Wesley Ruggles, the colored company consisted of Robert Frailer, Tia Juana; Curtis Neno, Sergt. James Anderson, Bill Smart, Wm. Wright, Roht, Hayes, A. Cunningham, Mrs. Reed and Doris Garrison. Card Game Brawl Ends In Life Sentence (From the Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Feb. 24. -Sylvia Morris found guilty by a jury of murder without capital punishment has been sentenced to life imprisonment in the paintiary by Judg A. D. Henriques in the criminal district court. Morris was convicted for the murder October 24, 1929, of Louis Dellito in a soft drink saloon as the result of a card game brawl. If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened BY ART HAMILTON KAPPAS WIN FINAL GAME KAPPAS WIN FINAL GAME The Kappa Alpha Phi frat men came through the rye with a smile on their faces last Friday night, when they beat the boloney shooting Alphas to the tune of 26 to 33. It was a tight game all the way and the score on the final go around was see-sawing back and forth for the whole time o the last quarter. First it was the Alphas, with Slick Stocks, Paul Ford and Guinn Jones doing their stuff to shove their team in the lead. Then it was the Kappas, with Herman Hill that demon center, Al Brewer forward, Jeff Brown and Moose Ragland playing overhead basketball to take the old Casabame game and sew it up tighter than a clam. Those boys played jam-up basketball and no less. Slick Stocks, all sports man of Pasadena, formerly of Pasadena Junior College and now of the University of Southern California, made the most play of the game when he dribbled from under his basket, the whole length of the floor to score in one of the prettiest set-up shots we have seen in many a moon. That boy Slick was playing and he was fighting mad and still no less. Guinn Jones that long, tall, slender, center from the Crown City, played a sweetheart of a game at center for the Alpha men. Jones was right there in every play and he, scored plenty of points on short taps. SHIFTY FORWARD Paul Ford also of the Crown City, where pretty girls and great basketball players come from in there with all his might. Paul scored about half of his team's points with his dead eye shooting. And how that boy can loop those long, long shots. "There is no use whatsoever of waiting at the other end when Mr. Ford lets one go. It's all over then. ON THE SIDE LINES The Kappas were in as much evidence on the sidelines as they were in the game. Luke Wassom, big man when it comes to the Kappas frat was there, and was he feeling gay? That boy led cheers, yells, songs and whatnots, during the game and at the half. I think Luke thought he was the Medicine Man for the Blues that night. In fact all the Kapas were feeling tight like those. ALPHAS LOSE TWICE The Alphas came right back to the city of the Angels, Saturday night and took on the Hedonicas, in the last game of the first round of the "Y" league. The Pasadena men were without their star torward Slick Stocks and that bean pole of a center Guinn Jones, theretoore, you know the result. The high school boys took them to the cleaners. Paul Ford did not have his eye and the rest of the team just couldn't click. Alex Edwards of the Hedonicas was the big shot of the game. Alex is one of the best floor men in the city and he can go some. IMPERIALS WIN The Imperials came out of the fog they have been running around in and took the Y. M. D. team with ease. All I can say about them is it is about time. JEFF HIGH "Y" BREAKS OUT The Jefferson High School Hi-Y team took on some kind of a notion Tuesday morning, when they sneaked on the Hedonicas and took them before they knew what it was all about. The final score was 23 to 19 in favor of the Jeff Hi-Y team. Eddie Bartholemew was high point man, with 18 points to his credit. That boy Eudie is a sweetheart, when it comes to sinking that old casaba. He had his eye plenty Tuesday morning. Little Muss Morris played a great WILLIAM EDDIE ANDERSON BACK AND STOPS SHOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT; JOE TRENT WRITING MUSIC FOR NEW SHOW; TAP DANCING CONTEST SUNDAY NIGHT A full house will undoubtedly greet Roland Hayes, the world famous Negro tenor, who comes to the Philharmonic Auditorium, Saturday evening, for his only recital of the season in Los Angeles. Last year, the great artist gave but one recital in Los Angeles, and seats were sold on the stage, and hundreds of people were disappointed and turned away. Reports from the box office this season, show that there is an increasing interest in the concerts of Hayes. And the concert for Saturday night is being rapidly sold out. Hayes will sing a group of art songs for his concert here—ending with a group of the Negro spirituals, which he has made famous. Hayes, has arranged many of the spirituals himself, and they form a major part of his program. Hayes, is the one great artist whose voice has never been heard over the radio. The great singer has shown no interest and has held fast to his first statement that he will never broadcast. Fabulous sums have been offered the great singer by the big advertisers presenting radio programs. Hayes will not return to the coast for two years, as his tours for the next two seasons will take him to Europe and the East. EDDIE ANDERSON BACK WEDNESDAY NIGHT; MUSIC FOR NEW SH CONTEST SU Eddie Anderson the funnist man in seven states is back at the Apex and he is doing his stuff as he never did it before. Anderson has been off for a couple of weeks with bad eyes, but the old peepers are jam up now, says the comedian and he is runnig amuck. Eddie pairs up with Gus Jones and how these two boys can go. Eddie and Gus received no less than five encores. They could have worked all night, if time would have permitted. IVY ANDERSON SCORES A perfect picture of bronze beauty, Miss Ivy Anderson, the Ethel Waters of the Pacific Coast and the west was right there with all of her it and then some Wednesday night. Ivy did sev-game also. Handsome Ben Woods, Alex Edwards and Harold Lewis starred for the Hedonicas. TENNIS TOURNAMENT COMING All of the younger set are waiting until the 15th and 16th of this month when the California Eagle Tennis tournament will come off at Snyder Field. Joe Sides, popular young man about town and a aemon with the raquet has signed up. Frank Davis, the hot shot from Seattle has put his John Henry down for a place and they tell me folks that this Davis person can go. Walton Jones of the Galloping Don Juans has signed and Wal says there is no use having the play-offs because he is the best man already and no less. CABS MUtual 4141 She Knows all About Devils and Angels Although she is a co-producer of the Apex gorgeous floor shows and exponent of acrobatic and other thrillingly beautiful dances, Mildred Washington above is not of the type usually supposed to represent a chorus girl. Mildred does not drink or raise "whoopee" herself, but the pretty little artist spends her time between shows reading "Dante's Inferno," "Paradise Lost," "The Illiad," "Cicero's Orations," etc. Imagine? THE "Y" GYM BY ART HAMILTON The first half of the "Y" basketball league ended Saturday night, with the Galloping Don Juans and the Alphas in a tie for first place. The Alphas ran upon a surprise Saturday night, when the Hedonicas took them by the way of no harm. CK AND STOPS SHOW JOE TRENT WRITING SHOW; TAP DANCING NDAY NIGHT eral solo numbers and then took down the house with Mary Richards as her team mate in a song and dance skit. Little Miss Richards is no slouch herself and she can go some. She is the only race toe dancer on the Pacific Coast. MILDRED WASHINGTON Miss Mildred Washington co-producer of the Apex has specialty number that fairly takes them away and no less. Miss Washington is one of the best dancers in the state of California, black or white. The title of her selection was, "Aint You Kind of Gay." JUBILEE SINGERS SCORE The Kentucky Jubilee stars of the last three weeks program scored another hit Wednesday night with their singing of Southern Melodies and spirituals. Suey Hoy and Laura Smith did their bit to rounds of applause. Miss Hoy the girl with the Chop Suey, name scored her hit with "Shoo Shoo Boo-gey Boo" and take it from me Miss Hoy was shooing the Blues away right Laura came right back to star with, "I want A Real Man." The kind she was warbling for would be kind of hard to find, but she was singing hard and sweet enough to get him. CHORUS CLOSES SHOW Miss Washington's fast moving chorus closed the show with, "Salute" and if you haven't seen the dance made famous by Charlie Witty, done by a chorus of 10 brown skin, beauties you haven't seen any dancing yet and still no less. DANCERS ON PRO. PROGRAM Dancers held the spot light this week on the professional program Curtis Cleveland, known as the Zizzler, did a tap number that brought him a nice hand. E. W. Cook, better known as (cookie) was with Mr. Cleveland and was kind enough to add to the dancing program. But the dancing that took the pro- fessional show was the team of Burghertt and Burghertt. It was a brother and sister team that really clicked. Charles Thompson, Sammy Montgomery and little Miss Theoplis James closed the show with a dance number a piece.

ON THE STAGE SUNDAY: BIG MINSTREL SHOW Featuring ALTON REDD & BAND DANCERS—SINGERS COMEDY—GAGS—FUN starring the Jubilee Singers and it went over with a bang. The new show that comes in about two weeks from now is said to have the Spiritual Show backed off the map. Seriously speaking I don't see how that could be, as that show built around those famous Jubilee singers was one of the best this writer ever had the pleasure to witness. Curtis Carpentier, assistant to Curtis Mosby, would not reveal the name of the show to me, but said that it would surprise a lot of folks and would draw larger crowds than ever known before at the Apex beautiful. AFTER THOUGHT We thought that we had finished this story, but Jim Porter came to our mind just as we were ready to stop tapping and call it a day. That Porter is a second Louis Armstrong. He receives more special requests for songs on his golden cornet than he can fill. It is our thought and suggestion to Curtis Mosby that all of his music should be arranged to bring out Porter and his playing a little more than he does. That's just a suggestion Curtis. Friay, March 7, 1930 Pittsburgh Critic Hails Negro Artists As Race Benefactors New York, February. 24.—Harvey Gaul, musical critic, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, in reviewing a recent recital of Roland Hayes, hails the part played by Negro artists in bringing about inter-racial sympathy and understanding. He says in part: "It we could hear more Roland Hayeses, more Paul Robesons, it would do more for racial appreciation than a dozen good-will ambassadors and blathering Caucasian surveys. You hear these men and the Negro looms large and you are aware that the colored man has something or importance to contribute other than pick and shovel, washtub work." The Post Gazette of which Paul Bloch is publisher, recently published a fine editorial tribute to a Negro policeman who died while attempting to prevent a robbery. The services Sunday were up to the usual high standard. The Sunday School had a large attendance and at the eleven o'clock service the Pastor preached using as a text Ephesians 5:14. Subject: "Waking the Unawakened." The message was very helpful and inspiring. In the afternoon at three o'clock the pastor and several members of teh church attended the Quarterly meeting service at Ward Chapel. At the evening service, Rev. J. L. Jackson, pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Stockton, Calif., brought us the message. His sermon was greatly enjoyed by all. Good congregations worshipped at both services. This Sunday the pastor will preach at both the morning and evening services. At three o'clock there will be a mass meeting for men and boys fourteen years and older. The young men will furnish the music for the meeting. Every man of Grant and Wars Chapel Churches are asked to come and bring another man. Rev. J. W. Howard will address the meeting. SOCIAL Mrs. Lizzie Wilkerson passed away Saturday morning after a long period of illness. The funeral will be held from Macedonia, Rev. Curtis officiating.

A wonderful repast was enjoyed by the guest. Among the guests was a cousin, Mr. Oscar Gallereah of Colo Springs, who contemplates making his future home here. Mrs. Mary Jones, of Oakland, Calif. returned home Tuesday evening after a few days in Los Angeles looking after the funeral arrangements of her sister Ida Disard who died Wed. Feb. 19th.

Ione Wright, Mrs. Flora Bruce and Mrs. Lula Monroe, of Oakland, Calif. --- as only he can make, after which all joined in the pledge to the flag and sang "America" while Old Glory was placed on the rostrum. The congregation at the evening service of February 23rd was delighted by the skill displayed by the pupils of Madame Belle O'Neil. Madame O'Neil has been a teacher of piano in Los Angeles for a good many years. She is a favorite especially with the members and visitors to Zion and has presented her school with credit on many occasions. Zion has a musical evening one Sunday night in each month, usually the fourth Sunday. Some of the city's best talent is represented. --- Dr. N. Curtis King has moved into his new home on E. 115th St. To say the least it is a thing of beauty and adds another attraction to this most popular street. Mrs. M. J. Burnes passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Armstrong, 10822 Willow Brook Ave., Tuesday morning, March 9th. Mrs. Mable Perkins, 1619 E. 108th St., was taken very ill last week. She is much improved and able to be out again. Macedonia Baptist Church less Sunday. School opened its session at the meal hour, many in attendance. The 11 a'clock services were conducted by Pastor Curtis, after which he preached a splendid sermon. At the close of service one soul was added. The Union met at 6:30 with President and Teachers present. The session lasted for 20 minutes and afterwards Rev. Fleming reviewed the lesson.

At 8 o'clock the services began with the Prelude from the Senior Choir; afterwards pastor introduced the speaker for the evening in the person of Rev. John Allen of Long Beach. Rev. Allen preached a very instructive sermon, using for his subj: 'The Coming of Christ. He made an earnest appeal to the sinners and several came forward for prayer. In the minister's introductory remarks he paid a very high tribute to our pastor for the wonderful sermon preceding and his graceful manner in conducting his services. The Lord's Supper was administered by Pastor Curtis with other ministers assisting. Services closed with very splendid financial reports. Regular services throughout the week.

He walked into the Newton Police Station and begged officers to arrest him and put him in jail on any charge they could think of. He gave his reason as someone was trying to bump him off and, therefore, felt that being incarcerated in the city jail would safeguard him from this unknown menace. Upon further investigation officers found he had no means of support or available money. He was taken to the Salvation Army, but refused their aid. Therefore, he was placed under observation in the psychoacardic ward. Mrs. Josephine Stone of 3203 Compton avenue was arrested on Feb. 19th at 730 E. 32nd St., on Wright Act Poseession over a quart and less than a gallon by Sergeant Adams and his squad of Newton Vice. It appears that Adams and his squad, on report that liquor was being sold at 730 E. 32nd St., armed with a warrant raided the above address supposed to have been operated by a Mrs. Marie Lewis. While there a man by the name of Will Basquin came in. On searching him, Sergeant Adams formed a loaded revolver on his person. He was hooked on suspicion of robbery. Then Sergeant Adams called up a bootleger by the name of Austin Cook, whom he had been told to call and say: "How are you fixed up?" Upon which the bootleger would take his order and deliver. Accordingly Adams did this. On the arrival of Austin Cook, Adams "shook him down" but found nothing. However, Cook was not as wise as he thought he was, for Adams had stationed one of his men outside to watch Cook as he drove up. The officer saw, Cook as he drove up. The officer saw Cook stop his car at 32nd and Stanford and walk down to 730 E. 32nd. Investigation of this car revealed this Mrs. Josephine Stone as occupant. On searching her, Adams and his men found a hot water bottle full of liquor, slung from her shoulder. Adam's squad is composed of Burns, Morse and Hamilton (his able assistant). On February 22nd Adams, Burns and Hamilton arrested Amos Jones. 1214½ E. 16th on Wright Act Possession and sale of 2½ pints of liquor which he unknowingly sold to Officer Burns. Miss Alice James was arrested on morals charge at same address.

He took the jail sentence. February 25, Officers Flow, Morgan and Pythian of Newton Vice arrested Mrs. Margaret Scott and Mrs. Olivia Romaine on Morals charges Well, folks, it look as though Liient. Clark of Newton Detective Bureau is still emulating the peaks of achievement and perfection. Monday night, February 24th, Clark apprehended Ben Smith, 1460 E. 49th, one of the trio who was alleged to have held up. robbed and killed a Chinaman in Pasadena last Saturday night. He confessed being a member of the trio that committed the crime, but denied that he did the shooting. it is alleged, and was booked on suspicion of murder and robbery. Smith claims that Theo F. Albrritt, now incarcerated in the City Jail in Pasadena, on the same charge as Smith, did the shooting. Albrritt claims that Smith did it. Albrritt was arrested Saturday night, the night the crime was committed. Clark had seen a picture of Smith and recognized him from this picture at 49th and Hooper. Chief of Police Kelley of Pasadena commended Clark for apprehending Smith. February 16th Detective Lieut. J. W. Clark and F. L. Conway of Newton Detective Bureau, arrested Chas. Vallier on suspicion of assault with deadly weapon as an outgrowth of an alleged stabbing of one Elisha Wade on February 15th at 32nd and Central by Vallier. Clark and Conway investigated and found sufficient evidence to file a felon complaint on him on February 18th. Bail was set at $2500 in Div. 3. Wade was operated on after the alleged stabbing and a 3-inch knife blade was taken from the scalp. Now that the election is drawing nearer, remember Congressman "De-Priest's words: "Men who can't be bought, bullied or bluffed!" Confucius taught his disciples three things that it might be wise to adhere to and take notice of as aspiring candidates are flashed before you in the twentieth century: "Four marks of a superior man are: In his conduct of himself he is humble; In serving his superiors (the people) he is respectful; In nourishing the people he is kind; In ordering the people, he is just." "Sincerity is the end and beginning of things; without sincerity there would be nothing." "The difference between the great real man and the ordinary aspirant as a man is that the real man has a fair mind which sees all sides, real manhood has a mind which is partisan and one-sided." A rule always seems to work or is applicable both ways. In the case of search warrants this assumption is without a doubt impregnated, for although a warrant on the part of police officers in making raids is essential in order to insure protection of certain specified and abstract rights of the citizenry of large, obtaining the warrant sometimes proves a distinct disadvantage and purely improvident. It appears that Officers Flow, Morgan, Spanach of Newton Vice were loitering in the vicinity of 57th and Compton. On leisurely driving past 1543 E. 57th St., their keen olfactory nerves detected liquor. They concluded that there must have been a plant somewhere on the premises, but having no search warrant they could not search the place. However, one of the officers went after a warrant and the others remained in the immediate vicinity to watch the above premises. While the officer that went after the warrant was gone the necessary length of time to obtain a warrant, a person was seen to emerge from the above premises. And when the officer did return with the warrant and the whole squad went on the premises to investigate, they found 3 twenty-five gallon barrels of liquor with an electric aging needle. It was one of the best aging Annual Sermon of Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias The Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias held its annual sermon at the Knights of Pythias Hall, Sunday, February 23rd. Sir Knight P. Price Cobbs, M. D., Master of Ceremonies, introduced Reverend E. E. Lightner who in his masterful way neached a very instructive and inspiring sermon to the Knights and friends. His subject "Ye are my Friends," was taken from John 15th chapter, 14th verse. He very beautifully outlined the meaning of Friendship. Saving in part: "Friendship is indispensable, that it is necessary in human life." Jesus needed friendship He had his inner circle of friends. A true friendship is always accessible. He can always be reached. He is sympathetic, rejoices in your enjoyment, is saddened by your sorrow, is willing to make sacrifices for you, construes you favorably, magnifies your good points and sees the best in you." Encouraging remarks were made by Captain Harrison Slater. Brothers Lindsey, Norman and Brooks. Sister Brown represented the Calanthes. We are having a decided success with our drive-known as the Bowers Memorial Drive that is very efficiently directed by our Regional Director, Brother P. Price Cobbs. During this drive special consideration is given applicants as we are planting to end up with five hundred members. Each citizen that is not a member of this constructive organization, should interest himself to the extent that he would like to become a member and to help to make the Pythian Lodge of California the greatest of its kind. Very truly yours. P. P. COBBS; M. D. BENJAMIN I. BOWIE POST HAS A BUSY WEEK Benjamin J. Bowie Post has just finished a week of unreal activities. On last Monday night the Post enjoyed five reels of the official U.S. Government War Films covering the entire period of the World War and shown through special arrangements. On Wednesday night some 20 or more candidates were initiated through a radio service over the National Broadcasting System. More than 40 members attended the services at the Alhambra Post as guests of the pistol队 team were on hand at the police pistol range, to complete four days of activities for the week. BEN ROWIE AUXILIARY GIRIS TO MAKE WHOOPPEE The ladies of the Ben J. Bowie Auxiliary are having another night of joy at the Apex Night club on Thursday night, February 27th. This is the second whooppee jamboree put on at the Apex by the Auxiliary and it bids air to eclipse the previous effort. The Ladies Book Club met at the home of Mrs. Odd Goodwin. The discussion for the evening was, "What has happened to clothes and Why" Miss-Readie, of Marston's Department Store, gave an interesting tak on clothes. The next meeting there will be a formal review of some Modern Negro Poets. plants found by officers in some time. However, the officers had no one to arrest for the possession of the layout. for although they hung around until 3:00 A. M., the following day, the person that they saw emerge from the place early the evening before never showed up again. Therefore the layout was booked as "Found Evidence." SAN DIEGO SECTION The Inter-Racial Conference promoted by the organization of which Dennis V. Allen is the president, held at Bethel A. M. E. Church on last Thursday Evening was a magnificent success. The banquet which preceded the meeting held in the Auditorium of the Church was composed of more than 100 guests and a menu was provided which evoked the praise of each one present. Assembling in the Auditorium of the Church for the general meeting every seat was taken. President Allen presided. MAYOR CLARK INTRODUCES SPEAKER OF EVENING H. E. MACBETH In a few well chosen words Mr. Allen presented Mayor Clark who in turn introduced the speaker of the evening. Hon. Hugh E. Macbeth of Los Angeles. Mr. Macbeth delivered a most wonderful address upon the subject of "Justice." He held the audience spell-bound with his magnificent and doquent address, and upon its conclusion the applause was demeaning and listed for fully five minutes. Mrs. Chas, H. Dodge was introduced and in responding said many very complimentary things about the speaker, Mayor Clark and the eminent persons present. She noticed the Eagle editor had arrived in the building and closed with a suggestion for him to speak. The president then called forward and introduced J. B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle, who in turn, spoke along the lines of inter-racial effort. From the manifestations of approval the editor was indeed well received. Be it known all peoples were present on this occasion including the Colored Americans, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese and white Americans. Also nearly all of the County and City officials, including the Mavor of the city, sheriff, all county officials, city councilmen, judges of the Superior Courts, Justice of Peace, District Attorney, etc., were present.

Her's is a life of service for her ennole. She is a past president of the Colored Women's Federation of Club for the State of California. MR. AND MRS. ED.

The name of the Anderson's is synonymous of progress and thrift and by practical demonstration they have made for themselves examples well worthy of emulation. Rev.

He has faithfully performed his duty in this very important office and all people without any regard to race, color or creed have had in him a faithful advocate.

SHERIFF E. F. COOPER A worthy successor indeed has been the present incumbent of the Sheriff's office of San Diego to the late and lamented E. J. Byrne. Mr. Cooper has lived up to every expectation of his friends and kept this office absolutely upon the high plane as was achieved by his predecessor. Appointed by the Board of Supervisors on April 29, 1929, he has made good to such an extent that the consensus of opinion is that he will receive such a strong support for renomination that he will be elected at the primaries on August 26th. The colored voters of San Diego especially speak in words of praise for Sheriff Cooper's administration and it goes without saying he will receive from them a hearty support. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Burleigh of El Centro were visitors in the city Monday. They were the guests of Miss Octavia Payne and other friends. Mrs. F. J.

It causes centration along the line of co-operation in the past. All peoples have a duty to please should not be on their way at all to their own particular propositions, genius of every angle of legitimacy of production and of co-operation. Sixty-five years out of the date a race has overcome the old superstition it is high time that we alone, we cannot afford to be lax which is before of gaining economy. Our job is to get in on the job in this particular spot of 44 miles within the circle. If we fail to go onward march to accomplish the task, therefor let's be on our wature, for if we continue to eat, we plement with which to accomplish. Take for instance the plan trated and fully co-operates with place for our own boys and girls the fact it has gained the support themselves. It has turned out so effective effort is keeping the trade wise more than a score of men, women, rule, every matrix used in the genius of some black boy, girl,男 with pardonable pride, our own girl white folks likewise express their day in Negro journalism, when the thing except what is given for rest. This same condition is mine Golden State Guarantee Insurance or quasi public institutions. No and even build our own chain store our own support, there will be job Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION EVER ON THE JOB FOR PRODUCTION CO-OPERATION The editorial in our last issue which had to do with our lack of progress along the lines of economic endeavor has attracted a deal of attention and the reaction from the same even in this short period of time is encouraging indeed. It causes us to be hopeful indeed for a greater concentration along the line of co-operative effort than we have ever experienced in the past. All peoples have a duty to perform and there is no reason why they should not be on their way at all times to care for the duty of holding up their own particular propositions in every manner which will reflect the genius of every angle of legitimate effort, especially so along the lines of production and of co-operation. Sixty-five years out of the debasing school of slavery, during which time a race has overcome the obstacles of racial strife, ignorance and superstition it is high time that we co-operate to the superlative degree. The white people have loosed their hands and now we must walk alone, we cannot afford to be lacking in the least to accomplish the job which is before of gaining economic independence. Our job is to get in on the job of keeping at least a fair proportion in this particular spot of 44 million dollars expended annually in trade within the circle. If we fail to do this we fail absolutely so in our onward march to accomplish the things worth while. Therefore let's be on our way; build up our own economic structure, for if we continue to eat, wear clothes and read, we have every implement with which to accomplish the job. Take for instance the paint of the California Eagle, it has concentrated and fully co-operates with the sole object in view of providing a place for our own boys and girls. It has accomplished this because of the fact it has gained the support of not only our leaders but the people themselves. It has turned out scores of workmen and through co-operative effort is keeping the trade within the circle. It employs at this time more than a score of men, women, boys and girls. Every letter, every rule, every matrix used in the publication of the Soaring Eagle, is the genius of some black boy, girl, man or woman. We speak of the same with pardonable pride, our own group 90 per cent are proud of it and the white folks likewise express their appreciation for we have brought a new day in Negro journalism, when the time has arrived when it accepts nothing except what is given for rendering service. This same condition is manifest by other institutions, such as the Golden State Guarantee Insurance Company, the Liberty Loan and other quasi public institutions. Now then, let's co-operate along all lines and even build our own chain stores, which is easy to do if we but give our own support, there will be jobs for hundreds.

Civilization may have its ad there are reasons for even envying Once more is drawing near that time of year when many an individual has reason to regret that he or she has not completed a course in memory training. Twice a year every household undergoes a seasonal readjustment. In the autumn summer things are packed away and winter things come out; in the spring winter things are packed away and summer things are again put into use. Now, all careful people are particular to put things away just where they can reach them. When they put them away they know just where everything is, but six or eight months later the question is, "Where?" Soon will begin the great vernal hunt for the screws that hold the screen doors on their hinges, the springs for said doors, the screws and tackle for the awnings, the oil can for oiling the lawn mower, the garden tools and left-over seeds from last year's planting. Everything is somewhere, but that some place has a tantalizing habit of being the last place one would think of looking. Householders are at fault in that they do not realize the gigantic task involved in putting things away and taking them out. One doubts that there is an efficient enough memory course to solve the universal problem, and there are just as grave doubts that there is an office index system with enough cross indexes to end this exasperating game of hide and seek. Civilization may have its advantages, but at this time of the year there are reasons for even envying the Hottentot. HONESTY OF THE YOUNG Scientific investigators are learning many facts about children which it is suspected parents have long known. After the experts have learned all there is to learn from their three years' study of "honesty" among school children, they will probably know no more than every parent of a normal child already knows. Scientific investigators are leav it is suspected parents have long all there is to learn from their school children, they will probable normal child already knows.

They are as shrewd intelligent inquirer often has to their busy little minds. Tests have been devised to discover tendencies to lie, cheat or steal. At the same time ordinary intelligence tests were given in order to show the relation between good sense and good character, if any. The results indicate the most intelligent child is likely to be most honest. A number of questions designed to probe the religious and filial feelings were answered as might have been expected, and the children were convicted of "overstatement." Apparently they all thought it desirable that they should seem pious and dutiful, and they said that they thought it their duty to read the Bible every day, to pick up broken glass in the street, to speak kindly to their parents and instructors, and to try to get the license number of a motor vehicle if they suspected the driver of speeding. Most children have an uncanny knack of reading the mind of a questioner. They are as shrewdly observant as monkeys, and a really intelligent inquirer often has to resort to trickery to get to the bottom of their busy little minds. CLEAN UP!

And the best co of being "clean-up, painted-up a There is no "sure sign" of spring, but spring should be a "sure sign" of the arrival of that time for the community to clean up. There is no superstition or prophesying about this clean-up sign. When warm weather has come to stay (until cold weather returns in the autumn) every owner of property and tenant should instinctively feel it his duty to remove the evidences of winter's ravages and to aid and augment nature, in her work of rebeautification. Every spring clean-up program should include disposal of winter's accumulation of litter and decaved vegetation, repairing and repainting of buildings, and landscape gardening. Landscape gardening is no longer associated with large estates alone. Cleaniness about the person or the home costs nothing. A community clean-up need involve no expense, except of a moderate amount of labor on the part of the householders. If there ever were excuses for uncleanliness they were removed long ago. What is the compensation of a community-wide clean-up campaign? It improves the general health of the community by removing deposits that are breeding places of disease germs and disease carrying insects. A clean town is a better place in which to live than one that is unsanitary and unsightly. And the best community advertising is the appearance of being "clean-up, painted-up and planted-up."

The Fillipino IS a Mongolian So said Judge L. A. Smith. Superior Court. Los Angeles County, in rendering a decision where a white girl and Filipino youth sought to marry. Mrs. Stella Robinson sought an injunction restraining County Clerk. Lampton, Los Angeles County from issuing a license to Ruby, her daughter and Tony Moreno, Filipino, to wed. She claimed illegal procedure on the grounds that a California statute forbid the intermarriage of whites. Negroes and Mongolians. The claim was made that Filipinos were Mongolians and Judge Smith sustained the contention. There are numbers of white women who are married to Filipinos throughout California. That decision will invalidate those marriages. The next question is What effect upon the immigration of Filipinos into the United States will this decision have? California bars the entrance of that class into the State. \* \* \* \* \* has selected his Haitian C. to give careful thought to the sens, he said.

In the selection he has sought to give careful thought to the national and religious viewpoints of its citizens, he said. The commission consists of five: W.

Fletcher, former ambassador to Italy; Elie Vezina, prominent in French Catholic circles; James Kerny, author and Democrat and William Allen White, editor and publisher of the Emporia Gazette, Kansas. The President has drafted Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute to undertake an exhaustive investigation into the educational system of Haiti. The appointment of Dr. Moton is most important. He is entrusted with a duty which calls for the most exacting and thorough examination of a condition which has contributed much to the unrest of the Black Republic. The illiterate have been exploited by those more fortunate. Haitians who have been fortunate to receive an education abroad have returned to the Island, not to make conditions better for the peasant class, but to exploit that class for their personal agrandizement. Education for the masses will bring stable government to the land freed of the despoiler by Toussaint L'Overture. ```markdown ``` The month past, February, was the occasion for eulogies in the lives of George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. The more as the years go by; the more Americans see in the lives of the great character whose names are indelibly stamped on the pages of this nation's history. The N. A. A. C. P., an association dedicated to human rights, was foremost in stressing the splendors of the men who birthed and perpetuated the American nation. Speakers told of personal characteristics of the two men and compared them. Very many who addressed assemblies found a similarity in their physical and mental makeup. Washington and Lincoln merit all of the encomiums. They were the examples of national loyalty. They had faith in the ultimate triumph of right, and belief in the justness of the cause espoused by them. But there was another outstanding American character born in that month of February which most of the orators failed to remember. Like Lincoln he was of lowly birth. Born in the depths he rose to such height that nations of the earth marveled. Frederick Douglass should be included in a 'triumvirate. It was he who strengthened the hand and arm of Arbraham Lincoln when deepest gloom was on the nation. His counsel guided the War President in his attitude toward the emancipated slave. The lives of Washington and Lincoln are presented to the pupils of the public schools. All know of them, but the Negro must place the name of Douglass before the masses at every opportunity that they may learn of the fame of one other who deserves a place in the hearts of every American. In the field of politics there is nothing new. Prohibition is still the main national theme. Business waits on the tariff which measure, occasionally, gains sufficient headway to encourage the hope of fulfillment. Political bombast seems to have it (the tariff) so muddled that it is doubtful whether the claims of the framers, that it will be ready for a vote during the month of March, a reality. In the meantime; unemployment appears to be on the increase. So much so, that labor trouble has reached the stage of actual protests which has verged on rioting. President Hoover has warned against excessive expenditure of public funds, and that too, after his plea to the captains of industry to use every means to thwart the "hard times" theory by actual expenditures which will give employment to the masses. It takes a genius in finance to make "two blades of grass grow where on only grew before." Merchants publicly declare good business, but in private deplore the lack of it. Americans have a natural optimism which has surmounted many and gloomy business period. Let's hope for the best. California, and the Pacific, Coast, has not felt the depression which permeates the business mart as have many of the eastern marts of trade. Unemployment has been minimized, especially in California, by the forethought and careful attention to the details of employment by Governor Young. The expenditure of public money has been placed wisely. Needed improvements on, and building of new highways have given work to many who would otherwise have been added to the army of the idle. The welfare of the states citizens have been uppermost, in the thoughts of the Governor and he has subordinated all else to it. Even his own political future. But, as it is often said: His constituency will attend to that. When the affairs of California have been properly adjusted there will be made known by the Governor what he will "choose" to do. Religious sects are all wrought up. The Soviet government has banned religion of any sect or creed. It has ordered that monasteries, centuries old, be razed. That churches such as the Kremlin, be torn down and the chimes melted and metal sold to buy tractors for agriculture. Leaders of religious bodies are imprisoned, and unless they recant, are executed. The Soviet aims to become a Godless nation. It purposes to turn this old world topsy turvy. Never before in known history has a government been so drastic in its effort to destroy age long features of the human family. Religion; family life; agriculture and every known economic feature has been turned about completely. Someone has said that if man had not God he would make one. There is an inmate something in mankind which makes him long for something to worship. This adventure by the Soviet government will be watched with great interest. It has tackled its greatest problem. Religion of some sort is bound to creep in regardless of the most drastic measures taken to keep it out. A Protestant minister pleads for the abolishment of the Sunday School. Dr. Osgood, Minneapolis, Minn., speaking at a meeting of ministers in Chicago, said, "The Sunday School by separating the religious experience of children from that of adults, has largely killed religion in American family life. The seriousness of this can hardly be overestimated because family religion is one of the few forces combatting modern tendencies which are making the home an accidental sleeping place for individuals." So it goes on: It is said that unrest is the propelling power of progress. If so, we are progressing at a rate that will revolutionize the entire world, shortly. Some of us would not care to see every feature of our belief torn away. So we are hoping for some delay in the speeding PROGRESS. A California youth killed five persons: a family. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to die. He was sentenced to be hanged on five counts of murder. Think that one drop of the trap in the scaffold will pay the penalty? Maybe that the extra sentence given was for good measure, or in case the first drop failed to accomplish the end. Being Misunderstood By CAIRL ECHOLS Emerson said, to be great is to be misunderstood. Of course all misunderstood people are not great, but they suffer the imposed lonliness of great souls. Misunderstanding is the ghost that haunts the tracks of the independent thinker and actor. One may be ever so well-meaning in intention-void of any taint of selfishness not with standing, the Dark Powers That Be will see that his name is broadcasted as the most wicked among men. If the innovator conceives of a plan to lead a "back to Africa movement" he is immediately accused of desiring to establish a despotic government on the Dark continent, himself the chief potentate. However fallacious the logic of the accused one, he should not be branded as being a thief until his motives have been proven dishonest. To be an innovator is to be misunderstood. The plight of the lovers is a terrible one. The battle of hearts is waged often to the tragic sorrow of the enamored ones because they do not understand each other. Love's labor is lost; hearts are broken because of that infamous oemon called MISUNDERSTANDING. To be lovers is to be misunderstood. This spirit crushing spectre even enters the family circles, many are the children who have been alienated from their parents simply because of the parent's failure to understand his child or because of the child's failure to understand the sinene motives of mother and father. Picture the loving mother who worries by day and remain awake by night, praying that her child will be saved from some new fangled idea that had taken possession of him. Too often the so-called new fangled idea is nothing more than a revised outlook on life that is quite necessary in a modern world where old ideas are as undesirable as old out worn garments. To be a child is to be misunderstood. Imagine the perplexity of the person who is innately Spiritual, yet who is called an athlete because religion to him is a matter of books, ritual, and ceremonies. Be he as spiritual as St. Francis of Assisi, he will blasphemer, they said that he was in cahoots with the devil. To lay hold of the Spiritual Essence of life and ignore man-made religious myths and the theologies is to be misunderstood. Great souls, like mountain tops, attract the storms. To be a pioneer in thought or deed is to be a great soul. Be different and the world's slinging with the situation of building you over, but survive the bombardment and you will finally be acclaimed as one of earth's important fellows. To be different is to be misunderstood. To be misunderstood is often to be lonely. But stalwart souls exult in their apparent desertion. Some become enbitered against an unsympathetic humanity; others develop patience, tolerance, and understanding. Solitude puts iron into their blood. They grow loner-hearted in their asceticism. To be misunderstood is to forced by the world, into ones inner chamber where man with God doth meet. WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE TO GATHER The first California State Conference of the Women's International League will be held in Los Angeles at the Hotel Figneroa, Saturday, March 1st. The Women's International League is a world-wide body of women working for permanent peace and education along lines of international goodwill. The movement originated in 1915 just after 1200 women met at the Hague, coming from the then warring countries, to talk of the possibilities of peace. Jane Adams of Chicago, noted social worker, presided over this conference, and is now International President of the League. Emily Greene Balch of Massachusetts is National President to the U.S. Section; Anne Martin of Carmel is Director for the Western States, and Ethelwyn Mills of Los Angeles is chairman of the Conference. The State Conference is open to non-members and to men, as well as women. The morning session of the Conference will open at 9:30 and will be devoted to the national and local work of the organization, by leaders from abroad and at home. A social lunchon will be held at noon, and the afternoon session at 2 o'clock will consider the general theme, "World Disarmament and the London Conference." The speaker will be Miss Kathleen Courtney of London, who is the special honor guest of the day. Miss Courtney is chairman of the British Section of the Women's International League and was the leader of the recent Women's Peace Crusade in England. Dr. Frederick W. Roman of Los Angeles will also speak and help lead the discussion. Dr. Roman is a conspicuous figure in adult education and leader of social science forums. There are eight branches of the Women's International League in California under the leadership of the following chairmen: Los Angeles, Ethelwyn Mills; San Francisco; Mrs. Katherine D. Cumberson; Pabo Alto, Alice Park; Berkely Mrs. Burr; Carmel, Mrs. Esther Teare; Santa Barbara, Mrs. Nelson Whittemore; Santa Maria, Mrs. Walter Smith; San Diego, Mrs. Kate H. Dewing. POLITICAL POT PIE Col. Chas H. Alston political seer and presiding officer at the political clearing house which holds forth daily at his office near 28th St. on Central Avenue. Calls his sessions daily as presiding officer. He has plenty of substitutes and if a business dial or phone call interrups he calls on one of said substitutes or Vice-President to preside. WASHING AND JRONING The meeting always is in form of the committee of the whole and woe unto any public or quasi public sinner who happens to come under the observation of the committee. Sometimes while the Washing and ironing is heavy the subject of discussions walks in. In this case the committee of the whole simply suspends and proceed on another one who is not present. It would be surprising to know that nearly all of his gang drops in on Alston. The real straight out politicians, office holders, hustlers and pure business men. Truly if you look for the low down, the clearing house is where you get it. THAT DICTAPHONE LIE Some day when dreams come true—some day when ego cease to be—oh some day when a real liar and hot air artist reform—then, and not until then, will white men be so interested in them to install dictaphones that they will keep them posted on what some other person might say about them. Judge Carlós S. Hardy who has gained the enmity of the Rev. Bob Shaler need not worry for there are thousands of justice-loving citizens who will give to him a strong and inwavering support for he is tried and --- The resolution presented to the Inter-Denominational Ministers Alliance with the view of putting a ban on holding political meetings in church edifices is timely indeed. It is a move which will receive the endorsement generally of all people who hold the sacredness of the church should be ever maintained. Judge Dudley Valentine who has made an enviable record in the municipal court has a host of friends who are most loyally coming to his support for promotion to the Superior Court. Broadcasting we call for news from our crudite northern political seer, Wm. McLamore and in the Broadcast we include the old War Horse, John Taylor. Unless we can hear from these along with others we fail to know what's going on in the north. One thing the Pot Pie maker must know at all timesis just what's going on. The wise birds and double crossers are known even though we omit calling the turn. * * * Judge McComb may be right in his ruling in the Getzok and Berman case, but he wil have a heck of a time in convincing the rank and file of the people, when explanations are due. * * * Pop Sanders says the time lias not yet arrived for him to make it known who the next governor of California will be. Friday, March 7, 1930 Detroit Minister Raps Kelly Miller's Article Detroit, Mich., Feb. 4.—A scatning denunciation has just been given Prof. Kelly Miller for his article which appeared last week in the Baltimore Afro-American, entitled: "An Apology for Hoover's White Commission." Rev. C. E. Chapman of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, has written Prof. Miller an open letter in which he expressed surprise and disappointment at the position which is taken by the Miller article which attempted to justify President Hoover in the failure to appoint a Negro to membership on the Haitian Commission. The Kelly Miller article maintained that no Negro of known and proved "expertness and experience in international" matters was available. Rev. Mr. Chapman asks how and when is the Negro to ever become "expert and experienced in International" affairs if never given a chance? The Open Letter follows: "Prof Kelly Miller "I am as much disappointed at your clever sophistry as you, I, and others are at the failure of President Hoover on the Haitian Commission. Negro on the Haitian Commission. "Kindly observe the following: Formerly you advocated the appointment of a Negro on the Haitian Commission. Yet in this article (just a few days later) you seem to have had a change of heart or head (or something) and have completely turned around and now say: 'No Negro could be found of like eminence, with the same degree of international experience and expertness. President Hoover showed his appreciation of the importance of the issues involved by appointing a commission of such high calibre and quality.' Frankly, that seems a complete 'knockout.' You, yourself, admit that certain members of the commission don't shine so brilliantly along certain lines—yet you raise no word of protest against their having been appointed. Then, if it is not an unpardonable crime on the part of the President to appoint two or three of Caucasian blood, then why try to justify his not having named at least one member from the Negro race of similar expertness (even if on a slightly lower level) than the Caucasian member? "Permit a few questions just here: Would President Hoover have shown any lack of 'appreciation of the importance of the issues involved' had he appointed a 'Negro as a member of the commission?' Would the membership of a Negro on that Commission have lessened the dignity of the commission? Doesn't there always have to be 'the first time' to everything? And if so, when will the Negro ever become expert and experienced in international matters but through being given the opportunity to do and show their ability to become 'expert experienced'? "You claim: 'President Hoover is not politically minded. His highest aim is to bring efficiency to the public service.' The only inference here is that the presence of a Negro would preclude the possibility of 'efficiency in the public service.' The only inference here is that the presence of a Negro would preclude the possibility of 'efficiency in the public service.' What nonsense! Hokus pokus of the rankest kind!! You really must be overestimating your own ability to argue logically; and at the same time you are under-rating the Negro's ability to think clearly. "The entire race is steeply pained at your stand. I respectfully refer you to the proverb at the bottom of the column opposite the end of your article: 'The sheep that bites off its own tail shames the whole family.'" THE COLLECTOR SAYS IF we have not already called on you, don't feel hurt, you are probably on next week's list. Have not been on West Side in two weeks owing to illness but will be ringing doors bells over there today and each Friday until further notice. Want to thank subscribers whom we have encountered for their cheerful response, which is an evidence of the faith you have in the West's oldest Race paper in its program of greater, service to the public.

That during this time it has been issued regularly and always with but one thought, "Public Service?" Do you know that there are at present more than sixteen men and women earning a livelihood as a result of employment on this grand old publication, to say nothing of the boys and girls it trains yearly in its different departments. Aren't these reasons sufficient to merit your support? In commemorating its half century of public service, the California Eagle will publish a Historical Directory very soon. Material is now being gathered. No doubt you have already been visited by one of the young women taking a census of the population and soliciting other matter for the book. The management wishes to express appreciation for the courtesies you have extended these young women and to solicit full co-operation to the end that this book may be as complete and valuable as the enthusiastic directory workers plan it shall be.

Let is be understood at the very outset that this is not a "Beauty" nor "Popularity" contest but a straight, legitimate, competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, and one into which no element of chance enters. One feature of this competition is the fact that there will be no losers in this rac. HOW TO ENTER CAMPAIGN All prizes are FREE and will be given to the persons who show the best sales record at the close of the campaign. Subscriptions get votes and the one that obtains the greatest number of subscriptions, thereby having the largest number of votes at the close of the campaign, will be awarded the Essex Sedan, the second highest, the $500.00 in Gold, and so on down. The greater the number of people are that enter the campaign, the easier it will be to win the Essex Sedan, or $500.00 in Gold, for the field will be divided more, and naturally it would take less votes to win the Essex Sedan or $500.00 in Gold, than if only a few entered. THE ADVISORY BOARD It is the sincere aim of this paper, The California Eagle, to conduct the campaign, from start to finish, in a fair honorable and impartial manner. Every precaution has been taken to safeguard the interests of the participants, and absolute honesty in all dealings is guaranteed. However, not all wisdom lies within any one man or institution, and for that reason an Advisory Board has been decided upon, whose function shall be to decide any question of sufficient moment that might happen to arise during the competition, and from which shall be selected a committee to count votes and award the prizes the last night of the campaign. The personnel of this board is as follows: Dr. H. C. Hudson, L. G. Robinson, Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth, A. Hartley Jones, Clarence Mills, Pasadena, and Curtis Mosby. SCHEDULE OF VOTES AND SUBSCRIPTION RATE OF THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE FIRST PERIOD Embracing the first twenty-four days (terminating April 1) the following number of votes will be issued on subscriptions: Votes 1—year $2.00 3,000 2—years 4.00 8,000 3—years 6.00 25,000 THIRD PERIOD Embracing the next twelve days (terminating April 15) the following number of votes will be issued on subscriptions: Votes 1 year $2.00 2,000 2 years 4.00 6,000 3 years 6.00 20,000 THIRD PERIOD Embracing the last nine days (terminating April 26) the following number of votes will be issued on subscriptions: 1 year $2.00 1,500 2 years 4.00 4,000 3 years 6.00 15,000 The above schedule of votes, which is on a declining scale basis, positively will not be changed during the campaign. However, a special ballot, good for 50,000 votes will be issued on every "club" of $20 turned in. This arrangement will be in effect throughout the entire campaign and is to be considered a part of the regular schedule. There will be no extra votes offered but extra prizes may be given away. No subscriptions will be taken for less than one year nor for more than three years in advance from any one candidate.

If you have an old book in the kitchen, fill it with rich earthy oils in the back yard to grow geraniums in. Or, if a pretty, nickel-plated electric percolator adorns your dining room table, wash it out, shine it up and place it high on the shelf among your husband's golf trophies. For both of these things may be useful—but not for coffee making. They are symbols of an outgrown method. Their very presence is suggestive of coffee with that sharp, metallic flavor—or, perhaps, the dark brown taste—with its bad after-effects of headache, sick stomach or sleeplessness. With my china coffee pot on the dining room table, filled with fragrant Bent-Hur coffee, these bad effects of wrongly prepared coffee seem as far removed as a long forgotten dream. My coffee, nowadays, has a flavor, rich and mellow—the gentle stimulation of light wine—the substance of bread and meat—the solace of a kindly deed.

For individual use, or small families preparing only one to three cups of coffee at a meal, the new BEN-HUR JUNIOR size of coffee-maker is more economical and more efficient. The JUNIOR size sells regularly at $1.40—but to get it quickly introduced we are authorizing your grocer to sell you a Junior maker, a 15c package of 100 silk fibre filter sheets and a half-pound can of BEN-HUR Drip Coffee—ALL for $1.00.

Central Ave. HUmbolt 7958 UNQUESTIONED QUALITY IN Staple Groceries—Meats—Vegetables M·J·B America's Finest Quality Coffee (Continued From Page One) In America the Negro race occupies the lowest rung of the economic ladder. Because the race is weak economically it has very little political power, is socially ostracised for the most part, and enjoys no more civic rights than white public opinion tolerates. Furthermore, Negroes are lynched with impunity in this country and disfranchised in certain states by Law in direct violation of the United States constitution. Consumers' co-operative business operated by and for the masses will save the race the profits of its consumption. With this profit employment will be created. That means positions for boys and girls whom we are training in the schools and colleges every year. Starting first in the most fundamental of all material things, food, extensions would be made in other distribution, then in forming and manufacturing. In this way economic power will be developed, and just as political and civic weakness is the result of economic weakness, economic strength will make us strong in all phases of racial activities. When the Negro race grows economically strong Lynching will cease and no one will presume to have authority to direct our place of abode. The economic strength of the Negro race lies in its purchasing power and can only be realized by channelizing that power. This is possible only through consumers' co-operation. For over twenty years the race has made a strenuous yet fruitless effort to gain its freedom and develop itself. In that space of time many makeshift plans have been employed. We have tried begging our way into the hearts and industries of the whites; we have tried fighting them in the courts of the land; we have tried inter-racial conferences and goodwill Sundays; we have reared up church steerles and utterly ignored the building of smoke-stacks; we have adopted Belgium war babies, and other temporary expedients and our condition as citizens is not the least better as a result of these makeshifts. The Negro race need not expect to improve itself until the masses are advanced. The masses cannot be advanced except by establishment and developing consumers' co-operative business. In its great uplifting influence upon the masses consumers' co-operative business is far better than philanthropy, because it creates racial mutual dependence and self respect. Consumers' co-operation is organized economy. Its operation creates power that renders service to ourselves and others. Where a race of people is dependent upon the whims and tolerance of another as is the case between the black race and the white in this country, is no indication of progress but retrogression. As presently constituted the Negro race is a football of, and a joke to, the dominant race and a victim of its own economic negligence and its employment of impossible methods of racial uplift. Despite our position as a race of beggars however, and our frilless attempt to build the race from the ton downward, it is not as yet too late to institute a fundamental change. Although we are being displaced in employment by whites who are being relieved of certain work because of the advent of labor-saving machinery, and even though we are being put out of our homes by various state supreme courts and Federal courts, there is a way out and that way is none other than consumers' co-operation. Consumers' co-operation will not only create power within the race but will stimulate a desire within us to do for others; it will create a social vision among us; will teach us to foreign the immediate advantages for the remote good, and will impress upon us the need for unity and fellowship, regardless of religious belief. Consumers' co-operation will cause profits to yield to service, division to fraternity, strife to concord, and best of all we will work not for others but with others. The Negro race needs to do things for itself without looking to others. Consumers' co-operation, will give us the benefit of self-direction by imposing responsibilities and self-government. It will give us trained individuals to see their duties to others as well as to themselves. Better race relationship will be created and no bitterness left behind. Co-operation of the masses in business is practical, desirable, necessary; it is the hope of the Negro.

Eve., March 8 Americans love to feel that this is a land of unbounded opportunity, a land where it is possible to rise from tenement or farm to a position of highest fame. Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor, has had a career that justifies that belief. Kings command him to sing for them; concert halls here and abroad, are crowded to the doors when his name is on the program; musical critics declare him one of the greatest singers of today. But yesterday he was a boy working on a farm at Curryville, Georgia, a settlement too small to be noted even in Lippincott's Gazetteer. His father died when he was a boy, and then the fifteen acres were cultivated by the mother and her three sons. There was no school for colored children worthy the name. When Roland was fifteen his mother decided that her sons must have an education. There was no chance at Curryville, so she courageously started with her family to walk to Chattanooga, some hundred and fifty miles. Then came the struggle for education. Alternating work and school with his brother, the little family was able to live.

We are asking you to pass a Resolution to remove all Political Meetings from the churches. There are many reasons why such a resolution should be adopted. First, we firmly believe that the church is not the place for Political influence as it tends to destroy the spiritual growth of the church. Thirdly, it divides the congregations into two or more factions, and in course of debate creates and arouses unfriendly feeling between members. We discuss not facts, but what suits our candidate. Fourthly, in many instances the pastors and officers are charged with accepting money from candidates. Whether this statement is true or false the people still have their opinions. Lastly, we believe that the church was created by God for a place of worship, peace, and tranquility, where man might seek his salvation and life eternal. We are asking the co-operation of all organized bodies and of individuals to influence the Minister's Alliance in passing this resolution.

INFAN" NORTALITY More than 10 of the babies who die during the first year of life die from causes related to the condition of the mother. In 1916 in the returns from 70 per cent of the population of the United States there were more than 75,000 deaths of children under one month of age (45.9 per cent of total infant deaths.) Most of these were the babies who were born too weak, owing to disease or injury, to live. Some of these little ones died because their mothers did not know how, to safeguard their breast milk or appreciate the importance of breast feeding. These babies were an unnecessary sacrifice to ignorance and bad living conditions. SPIRITUAL EDUCATION On Sunday evening at 8 P.

TOGETHER AT LAST—ZORRILLA AND LA BARBA AT OLYMPIC TUE For a long time local fight fans greedy for new thrills have craved to see the bobbing, weaving, whirling brown body of Santigo Zorilla and the leaping, flashing, charging white body of Fidel La Barba tangle in the padded circle in a veritable cyclone of leather. For a long time each of the rival camps have contended that Zorilla can send the idolized little Italian lawyer back to his books, and or that the fighting barrister will send Zorilla back to his quiet home on the Isthmus of Panama. At last they meet next Tuesday night, at the Olympic Auditorium in a ten-round main event that is destined to be chock full of action from the clang of the first gong to the drone of the last one. La Barba made a trip east last year after coming out of retirement and his law classes at Stanford which turned out to be a triumphal tour, winning handily in all his starts except the loss of a close decision to the wizard, Kid Chocolate. His sensational knock out of Al Singer was the talk of the sports world during this eastern invasion. Recently at the Olympic he has decisively beaten Fernandez and Johnny Torres, and at Hollywood, the Filipino flash, Fernandez. Meanwhile Zorilla has not been idle, he also marched through the trenches of the eastern front sweeping all before him including Joey Sangor at Milwaukee. Fans also still discuss the terrible beating h egave the ex-bantam champ. Bud Taylor, the blonde "Terror of Terra Hante" which laid Bud up in the hospital for a long time getting numerous repairs to nose and body. Indications point to a packed house and Zorilla's Central Avenue and Bay Cities followers will be out in full force. Zorilla is in prime shape, his astute manager, "Big Shot" Wirt Ross, bundling him off to Soper's ranch an putting him through the works out in the wide open spaces.
