ON THE SIDEWALK
BY C. A. B.
WE ARE PUBLISHING elsewhere in these columns an article from the pen of Nannie Burroughs in which she suggests that Negroes hold but one convention this year—"A Job Finding Convention." Of all the advice, whether through the medium of pen or word, we consider this the most logical of all and say, take heed, ye midnight ramblers, lodge night hawks, overtime outing seekers and "OUR-SOCIAL SET" sycophants. Take heed, remember that you are setting the pace for those who come after you—your sons and daughters.
According to figures compiled by the National Urban League, there are 330,000 unemployed Negroes in the United States.
FLORENCE MESSENGER of Friday, March 7, published an article under the caption: "Interesting Board Meeting Held by Florence C. of C" (Chamber of Commerce). One paragraph of said article read thus:
"Mr. Caslin, a member of the Florence Chamber of Commerce, spoke against the proposed extension of the "U" line from Shaunson avenue to Merrill avenue. This would necessitate the people using that car going through the colored district. It was moved and seconded that the secretary forward a resolution to the Los Angeles Street Railway-Corporation protesting against the proposed extension of the "U" car line. "The people now served with the "S" line are satisfied with the present service and do not wish to be connected with the "U" line. Our community is strictly white and intends to remain white. This was carried unanimously."
And yet there are those among us who tell us to sit supinely by and say nothing about the injustices heaped upon us from time to time. They say that protecting but calm attention to these grievances in a fashion that affects our welfare to greater disadvantage. Well, to our way of thinking, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and so long as there are small community papers dedicated to the cause of keeping Negroes out of certain sections and Chambers of Commerce, such as the one at Florence, that are willing to take time to call the attention of the. Railway. Corporation to the fact that they don't even want Negroes to ride through their section, just so long will we lift our voices against such proscription. It's white, says the whites of Florence, speaking of what they call our section, and we don't want any dark clouds on our horizon, not even to pass through as passengers on a street. Car. Ye God's, what are we coming to? Well, Negroes, watch the actions of the Railway Corporation in this matter. There is only one way to slap back and that way is through the medium of the ballot, but you will have to keep your ears to the grass roots to know when and how to do it.
THE EFFORT that is being made by Mesdames Hill and Hulbert to organize the women in a Republican Study Club apparently is meeting with a hearty approval of the women generally. The laftest child born into this organization is the one at San Pedro which came into being, Wednesday afternoon, at the residence of Mrs. Lee at which time, Mrs. P. M. Werner, wife of City Attorney P. M. Werner, Mrs. A. Hill, Dr. Elzor Gibson, Dr. Vada Somerville, Mrs. Corrine Smith and Ye Seribe, journeyed down to the harbor city and helped the San Pedro women launch this organization, which through the medium of study and application, will no doubt keep them acquainted with civic and political issues affecting their city and state governments.
ON LAST SUNDAY evening, Rev. Bob Shulter opened his Prelude Questioning with Asa Keyes as his headline. Those who listened to Mr. Shulter were interested in his diagnosis of the Keyes' case, for said the famous elergyman, in part, "Asa Keyes was a victim of the social system in which he lived. I do not believe that he ever took bride when in his right mind, for he said to a friend, while incarcerated in the city jail; I do not know what I did when under the influence of drink, so if I ever took the bribe of which I am accused, I certainly was not aware of my act at the time." But, said Mr. Shulter further, "society is not responsible for the ex-district attorney's unlawful acts while in public office, and I believe that he should pay the price that he is paying."
IN A TONE of litigation, Mr. Shulter softened to the extent that he was able to inject into his hard boiled discussion a rather pathetic word picture

CAR AND ARRAY OF OTHER AWARDS TO BE GIVEN THOSE WHO PLACE IN CAMPAIGN HERE
CALIFORNIA EAGLE'S SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN GAINS MOMENTUM AS CANDIDATES SWING INTO ACTION
From coupon to car. Neither a long step or a difficult one. But one requiring attention and persistence. You can make the step if you have pep, push and personality. One of the handsome prizes offered in the big circulation drive can be yours if you choose to take advantage of the opportunity offered you in the California Eagle prize campaign which is just starting.
FAMOUS WASHINGTON POLICE SERGEANT RETURNS NO-TORIOUS CRIMINAL
With a long series of escapes predicted to be at an end Clinto nT. Flannigan is on his way across the continent in the custody of Detective Sergeant Paul W. Lopes for 26 years
The contestants in the big circulation building campaign are lining up at the post, in this interesting exciting and profitable campaign and will all share in the awards to be distributed April 26—the only loosers in this campaign will be the ones that stay out. Someone in this community will win the Essex Sedan. Why not make it your drive? Or someone will have a wonderful vacation trip with the $500. in gold—either one can be yours if you have the "state of mind" to step out and earn one of them for yourself by just a few weeks earnest, active work.
What you have to do to try for one of these liberal gifts is to ask your friends and acquaintances to subscribe to the California Eagle. Each subscription you turn in earns thousands of votes for you and the more you get the more votes you earn. Votes are what counts. All it takes is a little spare time and ambition. There are several people in Los Angeles and vicinity who have the time and ambition. Why not earn something with your spare time.
Now is the time to get started. The campaign is just getting under way. It is always two or three weeks between the time a campaign is announced and the time that prospective candidates start active work. What you can accomplish now while the field is wide open for you will give you a substantial lead over any others who do not start an active campaign at once.
But an earnest word to the candidates is in order right now. The time for securing subscriptions is now while the largest number of votes to be given on subscriptions is in effect, for your chances of winning one of the leading prizes depends on what you accomplish during the first period in this campaign.
And now a word to our readers. Each and every one of you have a favorite in this campaign if you have not a favorite—nominate one. You

Largo Theatre Sued
WELL KNOWN BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN FILE DAMAGE SUITS AGAINST SEGREGATION IN WATTS' THEATRE
W. R. Knox, well known realty man and builder of Watts, and Dr. Ralph W. E. Bledsoe, nationally known figure in recent discovery of Parrot Disease, filed damage suits against the Largo Theatre in Watts, Calif. in the Municipal Court of Los Angeles, through the Law Offices of Lewis K. Beeks, their counsel.
Mr. Knox and Dr. Bledsoe, we feel deserve the unanimous support of every colored person in Los Angeles, because the success of these suits will mean the checking of the fast growing "Jim Crow" habit not only in Watts but elsewhere in Los Angeles.
FAMOUS WASHINGTON POLICE SERGEANT RETURNS NO. TORIOUS CRIMINAL
With a long series of escapes predicted to be at an end Clinto nT. Flannigan is on his way across the continent in the custody of Detective Sergeant Paul W. Jones, for 26 years service man in the Capitol Police Department.
Flannigan along with other crimes, is charged with escape from Lorton Reformatory in the Washington suburbs. He is stamped as a notorious, dangerous crook of national reputation, and was arrested here by Officer B. Ayers.
Sergeant Jones is one of the most highly valued men in the service there, and while here renewed old friendship with Officer J. L. Kimbrough.
The two were buddies at the officers' training camp at Des Moines, Iowa, in preparation for duty in France during the World War.
OUR OWN SONG BIRD AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE
THE LIFE OF MARY C. BURTON
MISS JUANITA PATTON
When Lucky Days, the wonderful musical comedy opens on stupendous scale at the Lincoln Theatre, March 24th, is presented to the public they will see as its prima donna a home town girl—Miss Juanta Patton.
Miss Patton has risen to fame already as a concert and radio artist, but needless to say, she will add many, more laureals to the highly respected name of Patton during her appearances at the beautiful, Central Avenue show house.
Of a talented family, she showed great musical promise as a child and at the age of four, began stage life, as a singing and dancing team with her highly accomplished brother, Malcolm, now deceased. Attracted by their versatility Mrs. Elfinor Scott Whipple formed a trio with them and the three appeared before many audiences together.
For the last three years this young lady's beautiful voice has been heard over radio K.-F.-R.-C, at San Francisco, rendering Spanish programs and has also been engaged in radio work here regularly since her return.
The concert stage being her forte, she has appeared many times at local musicals, concerts, benefits, and her own recitals. Miss Patton is a graduate of Manual Arts High School, and U.C. L. Normal
(BY MENTIS CARRERE)
In the last two issues of the California Eagle I have shown how the masses of Europe have improved their economic condition by a sensible control or distribution, production, and marketing of the necessities of life. I pointed out to you the fact that this system of control, known as the Consumer Co-Operative Movement, was started in Bochdale, England in 1844 with a nucleus of twenty-eight weavers, and today this nucleus has increased to millions, doing business to the extent of billions of dollars annually. I also made mention of the fact that the same movement had made considerable progress in North America among certain immigrants and Jews.
In many places the economic condition of the European masses is identical with the economic condition of the American Negro. On the other hand the American Negro is discounted as a citizen by our various municipal and state governments, and to some extent, by the United States Government, in addition to the common hardships of earning a living. This condition should afford the American Negro greater opportunity for economic development, because there is more incentive for organized action. However, if organized action means anything at all to a people affected as are the American Negroes, it means organization for the control of the production, marketing, and distribution of what we consume.
If the race organizate to obtain its citizenship rights and does not make the proper effort to gain at least a

Leon Whitaker to Be Honored
As a fitting tribute to his industry, ability, personality, integrity, and success, Leon Whitaker, recently sworn in as Deputy District Attorney of Los Angeles County, is to be accorded a grand banquet. The affair, planned to be one of the most elaborate ever held in this city, is to take place on the evening of April 16, 1930, at the Second Baptist Church.
The fete is in honor of Mr. Whitaker, and is being tendered him by the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and a large citizens committee.
Leon Whitaker is a product of the scholarship of our young people; and it is peculiarly appropriate, in this connection, that the process from this banquet are to be used to swell the Popularity Contest Benefit Scholarship Loan Fund of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs.
Several of the finest speakers available among the guest of honor, Deputy District Attorney Leon Whitaker, will address the assembly. Also, there will be much divine furnished by the famous Band conducted by Mr. Curtis Mosby, and other well known artists.
NEW YORK, Mar. 16-By A.N.P.
One of the most aggravating incentives to racial hatred and riots is the continued abuse of any racial group.
Picking the most dangerous plaything in the city as their vehicle, some prejudiced person has started a would-be witty campaign by adding to the inscriptions posted in the Subway trains.
One of the signs posted in each car reads: "Put the Rubbish cans to Work" to keep the city clean. Monday, on car No. 3751 of the I. R. T. 7th Ave., 145th Street Local, which caters almost exclusively to colored passengers, the would-be funny person has added to the sign by writing in front of the word "Cans" the prefix, "Afri", making the sign read, "Put the Rubbish Africans to Work." During the past year, several racial clashes have been precipitated in the subway adding to the dangers of travel. It is no fun to be caught in a brawl while a train is speeding forty miles an hour in an underground tunnel. Most of the fights have been because of seats where fickle minded whites object to colored passengers sitting while white people stand. Sailors on U. S. war vessels were the culprits in two instances, while the other occasions were of different races involved.
THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN
Mr. Hardon, it will be remembered is the young man with whom Roland Hayes was so impressed, after hearing him sing, that he advised him to study with the late Arthur J. Hubbard of Boston, his own former teacher. Mr. Hubbard too, became personally interested and predicted a brilliant future for this young man. Since then Mr. Hardon has appeared in recitals throughout the East where eminent critics have acclaimed him. Los Angeles is favored in having the opportunity of hearing him Thursday evening, March 27th, 8:15 o'clock, at Patriotic Hall, 1816 South Figueroa Street, Tickets $1.00, 75 cents.

SLASHES AND STARS
VICTIM VICIOUSLY
While the other players in a pool room at 25th and Compton looked on horrified, Van Ridley, 1526 Falomares st. carved and stabbed J. B. Fagt 1240 E. 34th St. until he is lying at General Hospital in a dangerous condition. The two men are said to have quarreled over a game. Ridley was arrested by Clark and Conway and will be tried March 25 in Div. 3.
BY NANNIE H. BURROUGHS (For Associated Negro Press)
Unemployment among Negroes throughout the country is on the increase. Jobs that were ours, have gone to machines, gone to white people, or gone out of style. We are not going to get them back. We will have to make some new jobs. Do not waste too much time discussing the cause. If you want to know the whole truth we are the cause of entirely too much of this loss of occupations. We did not improve; we were too unreliable; we were too wasteful, we had to get off often "to tend to a little business"; we had to attend too many funerals; we were too independent; we gave too many of our employers pieces of our minds; we overdressed; we got rich and bought cars and showed off; we talked too much and too loud all over the place and in public carriers. We told the world how we treated our employers. White people got tired of it. They got to thinking it over.
TIMES ARE TIGHT
While we are laying off, talking big and laying them out, they were pooling their brains and their money. As a result they have produced all kinds of machines and labor-saving devices. Now they are pressing buttons and getting their work done while we are pressing bricks and getting our shoes worn out.
They are sitting pretty and making money while we are sitting distressed and making complaints. We brought a whole lot of this upon ourselves. Unless Negroes get down to brass tacks and use their brains "it ain't half as bad as it's gwine to be."
Our occupations are gone. The only thing that is left for us to do is to stop some things, and start some other things.
WASTE ON FUNERALS
First—Cut out waste of time, money and hot air. We keep our hard working people up too late in lodge rooms, churches and dance halls. Negroes are burying too much money. It is time to popularize inexpensive funerals. Negroes have too many church funerals. A church show costs more than a home funeral. Too many Negroes get off to attend funerals in which they have no interest other than morbid curiosity. Our "Spect" for the dead costs more than our Respect for the living. Funerals among Negroes are expensive things when you count the cost of what is put into the ground and paid for gas and the time we put in reviewing the remains—the latter has cost many of us our jobs.
Sometimes the worse the man, the bigger the turn out at the funeral. Let's stop it. Negro fraternal organizations should pool their money and convert some frozen assets or one of their old dead-weight halls into a huge factory and make all their regalia, uniforms and supplies. That business combination alone would give employment to several thousand capable men and women. A business combination can be formed if the heads of Negro fraternal organizations would only look at their opportunity from an unselfish point of view and "Stop getting theirs" long enough to help their loyal and devoted followers. It is time for Negro organizations to use less money on funerals and more on fundamentals. Cut out unnecessary show and build some shops.
We have spent millions for vulgar display and those from whom we buy our stuff count the beckles and look at us and laugh at our folly. Negro leaders have any sense at all, so is the time for them to show it.
WOULD TURN TO FARM
Another way to help is to go back to the farm.
Laborers who have large families and are out of employment in cities like Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Can
cinnati, should go back to the farms and go to work. They certainly can raise enough to live on and get a plenty of fresh air and save their children from the demoralizing influences of overcrowded lodging houses. The Negro health record is bad.
Our convention season—the most worthless luxury for which the masses pay—will soon open. Several million dollars will go to railroads and big cars. Not for real business, but for show, to rival the Jones, that's all. At hard-pressed as we are—without jobs, our homes for sale, our churches bankrupt, our schools dead broke and on the verge of collapse—our leaders are going to comb the country for nickles and dimes and throw away our last dollar gasing around, dispensing her air at the expense of the jobless masses. The whole race would be better if we hold only one convention this year. That should be "A Job Finding Convention." Only the heads of every convention or one of its representatives who has vision and constructive ideas should be allowed to attend. We do not need too much talk now.
Superintend of City Schools to Speak
Frank A. Bouelle, superintendent of the Los Angeles Public schools will be the principal speaker Sunday evening, March 23rd at the Second Baptist church, 24th and Griffith avenue. Mr. Bouelle has not made mention of his subject for the evening but it is promised that his address will be of great interest to everyone. Every person who is interested in our present school system as well as being interested in the educational welfare of the youth should be present Sunday evening and manifest interest.
The public is cordially invited to be present in order that we may give Mr. Bouelle a great welcome.

Thus equipped, you have but to see your friends and neighbors, relatives and acquaintances, and have them pay their subscription or subscribe (if they are not already subscribers) to the California Eagle through you. That is all there is to it! However, you will never "get anywhere" unless you make the start. Forty-six short days and you may be riding in YOUR OWN AUTO-MOBILE. One happy person in this community will be riding in a brand new automobile that didn't cost him or her a penny—WHY NOT YOU.
Don't lose valuable time "waiting to see what the other fellow is going to do," but pitch right in and show the "other fellow" how to do it. There is no denial without a trial.

The hero goes to town. Loses in a crap game. Shoots up joint, kills brother accidentally. Then remorses. Then the ministry. Then love. Then angel; yes, a vertable love-to-drill-satan wins for awhile. A lovelier teral. Tragedy. More murder. Prison. Pardon. The hero returns home to family; to the woman who waited for years for him.
Halleujah, to me, is a good picture. Not perfect, but good. Why blush at seeing kinky-baited Negroes? They are as good as any flaxen hatred race. God made em; and I love em though they provoke me like hell at times. (1) The baghagal scene has been dramatized by superlial, emotional, shall proud. (2) Negroes. Better face facts and out grow them than try to uover them up.
The baphrion loved the mulatto woman. Love often forgets its roots of ethnicity. (2) The singing, dancing and shouting is true to life. Down South? Yes! and out west; and east, and north wherever colored people are found. The power that causes them to shout will some day entail the race. Tis spiritual power; it needs proper direction. (3) Laugh if you will, but evening gown, diamonds, and high society do not change the intrinsic nature of a Negro very much. Thank God it does; for Negroes will rise to their own by their own boot-straps some day.
"Halleujah" almost moved me to tears. Believe me, I silently thanked God for making me a Negro.
Now, the picture only portrays part of the Negroes—the peasant class. And surely we do not expect to find peasant Negroes wearing golf togs and driving Packard roadsters, etc., etc. But if King Vidor wishes to add thither suit to "Halleujah" (the would name it "amen") let him show the New Negro. Those who live on Easy street; who discourse on philosophy, science, art, literature, etc.; who
can have trouble with any other race and have. Besides, I can furnish the address and names must here where white folks cut up just as the black folks did in "Hallettjush."
INTERRACIAL FORUM—
The meeting was suchely the best yet. Senior Alfonso Corrillo missed no words in stating the case of the darker races. Familiar with race conditions in South America, Mexico, and the United States, Mr. Corrillo spoke with a fund of knowledge. His speech and delivery was perfect. Already, he has been requested to return to Pasdede and repeat Sunday's talk. His solution of the race problem hinged on three cardinal points: (1) acquiring knowledge (2) applying ethics of Jesus (3) amalgamation or races. Despite the fact that it was raining hard, there were close to an hundred people present; many coming from Los Angeles.
Mr. Ballard sang La Paloma and La Goldanrina in time Spanish fashion. He sang with feeling and expression.
WOMEN'S DAY—
You must visit Friendship Baptist church morning, noon and evening. Sunday. The women are putting on a grand program.
Mrs. F. Marie Brawley will speak at the morning service on "A Scientific Approach to Christianity." During the H. Y. P. U., our Mrs. A. Hulbert of Los Angeles will give the main address. Mrs. Anita Grant, also of Los Angeles, will give a very interesting short talk.
Mrs. M. E. Morris is chairman of the program committee.
A gist of the program is as follows:
(1) Mrs. Helena Smith of "Hearts in Dixie" fame will sing. A present Mrs. Smith is starring in the "Sea Bat," a Metro Goldwyn picture.
(2) Piano solo—Miss Bowman.
(3) Organ solo—Claudia Jones.
(4) Vocal solo—Mrs. R Bowman.
(5) Address—Mrs. Anita Grant.

The American Negro, unlike the Japanese, has no country to go to, other than the United States. His being blood in this country automatically causes him to be classed as a citizen of it, and as a citizen or it and as a citizen, he has contributed to the development of it by inboring in its fields and factories, fighting in its armies, and contributing to every known art. He speaks the American language and is an American in culture.
The American Flag is a beautiful one, and looks very impressive and inspiring polished in some of our churches and spending thousands or dollars contesting unjust evictions is almost in so far as it displays the fact that we want to be law abiding, but until we place that Flag over our homes, and have men within those homes of calibre of Harmon Murray of Fernandina, Fla.; Robert Charles of New Orleans, La., and Simon Cooper of Sumpter, S. C., that Flag will mean little to us, and our property.

New York, Mar. 7.—Among the recent legal victories by colored people, to be summarized in law reviews, is the victory in the case of Ben Bess, South Carolina farmer, pardoned after serving thirteen years of a thirty year sentence in prison on a white woman's prejured testimony. The case arose when it was proposed to prosecute the white woman for perjury, and she then retracted her confession. The governor thereupon sought to revoke his pardon of Ben Bess and it was this case, sponsored by the National-Association for the Advancement of Colored People which went to court and was won for Ben Bess, who is now a free man.
The Columbia Law Review for January, 1930, in its summary states that the important legal question raised by this was "whether a pardon may be attacked in habeas corpus proceedings and the issue of fraud in inducing its issuance determined. . . . The decision in the instant case condemns the practice whereby the party is deprived of notice and an opportunity to be heard by a judicial tribunal on the issue of fraud before he is again imprisoned."
The present case, like many of those fought or sponsored by the N. A. A. G. P., apart from its bearing on the rights of colored people, involves important questions of law.
YOUTH FRIGHTENED TO DEATH
BAITTMORE, Md., Mar. 17—By A. N. P.—The sound of stealthy footsteps on the roof and tapping on a closed window proved too much for Debley Stanton's heart and the 17-year-old youth succumbed as he was about to investigate the strange noises.
Stanton heard the footsteps on the roof and was enroute to investigate them when he heard a loud tapping on the window and he sank to the floor dead. A coroner's jury decided that he had died from heart failure caused by fright.
Men of City to Sunday Afternoon
(For The Associated Negro Press)
A heavyweight price righter recently let me in on the whole confounded rotten business. He was from the west. He had been sent for to come to New York City and "fight" with the European gent whom they are now grooming for championship honors, with large publicity and many caskwords, as a huge fighting demon, etc., etc. "I am in the fight racket," said this colored gentleman of the ring, who had just done his turn with the European giant. "I know who you are, and I can afford to tell you the truth about it."
Then he explained in great detail: that an honest-to-goodness fight is not known in any big place now—that such a fight cannot get in on the "big money;" that big business has taken over the promotion of fighting, not to determine the best man but to promote big dividends. They accordingly take a man who has some attractive feature, like a big hulk of a body and a queer; neme and strange nationality and push him forward until they see a chance for a million-dollar gate. And even the million-dollar gate fight may be "fixed." "It's a poor innocent who will bet on a big-money fight these days unless he knows which way to bet—unless he is in the racket," said my prize-fighter fellow traveler.
Then he told how he had been summoned out of the west to help push the prominence of this new big slugger—how he was, given $5,000 even before he entered the ring, and how he must make of his good behavior, he was to receive two thousand dollars more after the fight—if the right man won—which was the other man. "They would not let me shoot, be sold, or it might have been hard for them to judge the other fellow's winner, even on points. Then showed me the money, in actual cash—bills of $500 and $100 denominations, sticking in his shirt pocket and pinned in with a safety pin—more money than r had seen anywhere else in my life outside of a bank. But after the fight was over and the protege of the big money interests had been allowed to win on points, like any crooked business, they tried to chest this black fighter from the west out of his extra two thousand. But he was smart; he had kept the letters which they had written him in the west, making the arrangement—and he threatened to go before the State Boxing Commission with these letters—and they came across. Then they had ocered to buy back the letters. He was smart again; he suddenly remembered that he had left the letters at home. But he had the letters with him, when I me thim in the Pullman car returning to the went. He knew that if he had these letters with him and they knew he had them, they would use foul means to get them. He may need them, too, for future use.
And why does this individual enrage, in such business? He explained: "I could not make money like that in straight fighting. It is a business now—a racket. Jack Dempsey was the last fighting champion—and I suspect him in the Philadelphia fight—but he made an honest try to get it back in Chicago. If he fell for the racket in Philadelphia, he had fallen out with them when the Chicago fight came on."
So in the future, it seems that champions are to be made in the same mannen and for the same purpose that Firestone plants a few hundred acres of rubber trees, at great care and cost, in Liberia; for future profits. No real sport can survive "big money."
Illinois Cities to Hold Interracial Conference
CHICAGO, Ill., Mar. 18—By A.N. P.—The first state-wide interracial conference in Illinois will be held at Chicago, March 24-25, under the joint auspices of a National Conference committee of the Commission on Race Relations of the Federated Council of Churches and a local committee of arrangements sponsored by the Chicago Commission on Interracial Cooperation with Mr. Harold S. Prince as chairman, according to a statement issued by Dr. George E. Haynes, Sec. of the Federal Council of Churches.
White and Colored delegates have been invited from twenty-four cities and towns of the state that have Negro population. Dr. Frank O. Beck of Garrett Biblical Institute, Northwestern University, is chairman of a committee gathering facts about conditions in the state for use of the conference. These facts, in written form, will be put into hands of delegates before the opening of the first session and will serve as a basis for the open forum discussion which will include interracial economic conditions race relations in churches, and religious organizations, as well as other topics. There will be a morning and afternoon session on Monday, March 24, and a mass meeting at night when Dr. Ernest F. Tittle of Evanston, Illinois.

Four Murderers To Die
April 11
CHICAGO, Mar. 17—By A.N.P. A conference between Judge Walter Steffen and Sheriff John E. Traeger on Tuesday resulted in the setting of April 11 as the date of execution for four colored-men, all convicted of murder. Aron Woodard was found guilty of slaying a policeman. The other three Leonard Shadlow, Leon Brown, and Lafon Fisher were convicted for the murder of Martin French, slain when the trio held up the Franklin Trust and Savings Bank where French was employed as guard.
This quadruple execution will furnish Chicago with a rare spectacle. White murders win acquittals or time sentences, so that the extreme penalty can only be observed in operation in cases where Negroes or destitute foreigners are involved. As nearly as can be remembered there have not been four white men put to death for murder in Chicago during the last ten years.
and Dr. Channing H. Tobias, national secretary of the Y. M. C. A., both noted speakers, will broadcast the facts before the conference to the people of the city and the state. There will be two sessions for delegates during Tuesday and Tuesday afternoon the conference will make a sight-seeking trip to the colored business and residential sections of the south-side. All sessions held at Central Y. M. C. A.
The attendance on the day sessions of the conference will be limited to not more than 200 registered delegates who are expected from over the state. Already the response from both white and colored leaders indicates that the conference will have full attendance. These delegates will represent social agencies, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., and white and Negro churches of the several denominations, both local and state-wide.

Die Maid Loses Actress's
Jewels; Found in
Pawnshop
NEW YORK, Mar. 16—By A.N.P. The life of personal maid to a musical comedy star is not all beer and skittles says Mrs. Louise L. Lux, comely Harlemite, who holds down just such a position with Miss Betty Compton. It seems that Mrs. Lux wanted to attend an "affair" here in Harlem one night and bemoaning the fact that she had no jewels to wear, besought her gracious employer's aid. Miss Compton responded nobly, letting Louise wear $2,600 worth of "ice" belonging to the aforementioned Miss Compton.
The jewels, consisting of a bracelet, studded with fdetysix diamonds, a five setting diamond ring, and other less valuable pieces, were stolen from Louise's dresser drawer last Saturday night.
When Betty, discovered the loss as related by her maid, she immediately notified Police Commissioner Whalen. Search was made in local pawnshops, and there on Eighth Avenue, in various loan places, were found the sparklers. They had been left there by one Jacob Hall, a porter, who in Harlem Court Friday, declared he had found the gems on the subway platform at 116th Street and Lenox Avenue. However, three previous convictions outweighed this excuse and now Jacob is in the Tombs awaiting trial on a charge of burglary.

of the old time boyhood association between, dear, old, Frank Cochran, whose duty it was to convey the living dead body of ex-district attorney Asa Keyes to San Quentin, "Cochran" said Rev. Shuler, "had known Asa Keyes on the airy plants of Texas as well as during his entire period of office holding in this city, hence, no doubt he had cherished a hope that his old friend would not be subjected to the painful humiliation of being handcuffed to a strange, unsympathetic deputy sheriff while being transported to San Quentin." And the famous fighting parson was seemingly greatly moved with sympathy in his recitation of the fact that Keyes was not handcuffed at all but allowed to walk by the side of his old friend as if they were out on a friendly trip to his last living resting place behind the gray walls of San Quentin.
We could have appreciated the Rev. Mr. Shuler's attitude in this Keyes San Quentin trip if it had not been ours to reflect and to mind that but a few months ago, this same Rev. Bob Shuler, over the same wave length, as loudly voiced his resentment of a colored lad being handcuffed to an Italian while they both as criminals were being conveyed from Los Angeles to San Quentin.

WE HAD INTENDED publishing a goodly number of letters concerning the Largo Theatre affair at Watts, but we have in our possession communications from some of our reliable citizens of that section asking us to refrain from the publication of said letters in view of the fact that they had taken the case in question into the courts where they proposed to fight it out.
This Largo Theatre matter has also been brought to the attention of the P. T. A. by our ever watchful Mrs. Enola Chism, and that organization has assured Mrs. Chism that they did not sanction the action of the management of this Watts' picture house.

MURDERER
REIDSVILLE. N. C., Mar. 17. By A. N.P.-Major Hooper, 56-year-old man, is being sought by the poleie to face charges of murdering Arlie Watlington, ten miles north of here Sunday night.
The woman was stabbed to death in a fight in her home and neighbors declared that they saw Hooper fleeing from the house after the killing. According to the testimony he was heading for the Virginia line and officers in that state have been notified to look for him.
A strange coincident connected with the case is that thirty-five years ago, near the same spot, Hooper's father shot and killed a man for which he served a term in prison.

time Negro women propose to launch a program that stands for nothing less than full economic freedom for black people in this section.
A RECORD BREAKING: religious service, promoted by young people, held forth at the First A. M. E. Zion Church all day last Sunday. The program consisted of musical numbers, vocal and instrumental, and reading selections, all of which showed that great care had been given to their preparation. The morning sermon by Miss Sue Priolean, a young mite of a girl, was full of spiritual fear and inspiration that will long be remembered by both young and old present. The evening message delivered by Ernie Wilson was a masterpiece on "World Peace," in fact every young person on the program, which was presided over in the morning by Darby Jones and in the evening by Simmie Etta Johnson, demonstrated marked ability. At the close of the evening service, Rev. I. A. Moore, pastor of the church, did not hesitate to tell these young people that they were just as good in their conduct and otherwise as were their Seniors of yesterday. Mrs. Sim Johnson, mother of Miss Simmie Etta, who had worked tirelessly with insew young people, encouraging them to go forth in worthwhile pursuits, was presented with a basket of beautiful American Beauty cakes.
One of Four "Sunday Painters" In N. Y. Exhibition is Negro Bellboy
New York, March 7.—One of the four "Sunday Painters," having only one day in seven to give to their art, whose work was shown at the Whitney Studio Galleries, February 26, to March 8, is Beauford Delaney, who supports himself by working as a hotel bellboy.
The Herald-Tribune art critic speaks of the "unaffected simplicity and sincerity of purpose" of Mr. Delaney's pastel portraits, the world art critic of his portraiture "which he does well both in oils and pastels." Mr. Delaney studied in Boston at the South Boston School of Art and at the Copley Society and is interested particularly in portraiture.

Central avenue lost one of it celebrated characters last week when Daddy Lane took permanent leave of absence and motured into the great beyond. Well up in his eighties, enjoying the best of health, Daddy, as he was known, spread sunshine everywhere he went. Of course we all must go but it is a bit hard to be in perfect health and have a reckless driver cause an accident that costs one his life, and yet such was the contributing factor that caused this popular character to pass from work to his reward.
"Well, I jes met her walking down the street and wondered how comes."
"Well, if you saw her walking down the street, Sister Scarecrow, that is the best evidence in the world that she's not dead.
"Well, Revern, I'se guess, youse right, all right, but I'se thought meby de underfaller was in such a hurry dat he had plum, gone forgot, to embalm her and she had come back to life. Ill right, Revern, youse aught to know. Pussonly I'se don't like de idear of haben my normal senses so rudely disturbed. Thank you, goodbye."
John Barefield buckeled on his outing togs and auto ingenerated a party of federal friends up to Castiac to spend the day, Sunday. A royal time was reported. Mrs. Barefield acted as the conductor.
From the way it snowed, hailed, and rained recently it wouldn't go for an eastern newspaper reporter to have been visiting out city, for the place known and referred to as being haeven on earth would certainly have been lambasted in the Eastern papers.

The District Attorney is to be congratulated and we feel sure that young Whitaker is going to make history. Congratulations, attorney.

Car and Array of Other Awards to be Given Those who Place in Campaign
have probably wished all candidates well in their endeavors. But have you "said it with a subscription?" You know that words of encouragement are hollow mockery unless backed up with a subscription. Subscriptions are what it takes to put your favorite over the top. Have you done it yet? Or have you given "lame" excuse and turned your back on a friend?
Selling subscriptions to this paper is just as legitimate as selling anything on earth, real estate, clothing, furniture, groceries, etc., and those who are working in this campaign have the same assurance of compensation as in any other line of business. The candidates in this kind of a proposition have an opportunity to show what kind of salesmanship ability they possess. And it is a case where they pay themselves and write their own price tag—and that price tag can be written for $1050.00.
And now candidates that the eyes of the community are upon you and you have said "I will" your friends are depending upon you to do your best. Each and every one of you have been told "I will help you if I feel that you have a good chance to win." So do your level best to merit and deserve that implied assistance to do anything less would be to forfeit the confidence of your friends and wellwishers. The first vote count and standing of the candidates will appear in next Friday's issue of the California Eagle. Enter NOW and head the first. There is no denial without a trial.
To save time and avoid errors, will you kindly look up your last receipt and have it handy when the collector calls. Please remember that subscriptions to weekly newspapers are payable in ADVANCE, so if your receipt reads for 1929, your subscription is due now.'
Be ye also ready for in a time when ye least expect the collector will call.
BLUE BLOWERS ON PARADE—NEW SHOW AT CURTIS MOSBY'S NITE CLUB
MUSIC WRITTEN BY JO. TRENT—LITTLE RAINE SISTERS
STOP PROFESIONAL SHOW—CHARLIE WELLEMAN
GUEST OF HONOR
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Skinner, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. White, of Los Angeles; Mrs. Eva Tippens, Yonkum, Texas; Mr. and Mrs. Cugil Durfield, Montclair, N. J.; were week-end guests in the city, spending some time with Mrs. M. Chance of "Our Deer Lunch."
A very interesting meeting of the Regional II Department of Education of which Mrs. Eunice Parker is director, local N. A. A. C. P., was held Friday night.
The Ida B. Wells club met with Mrs. Mattie Sommerville, Thursday afternoon. The program was both interesting and helpful. For the present the club will meet bi-monthly instead of every week.
Mrs. M. H. Lewis, 3017 Franklin, received the sad intelligence of the sudden rassing of her father, Mr. Simeon Bruce, of Moberly, Mo. Mr. Bruce was 79 years, 11 months and nine days old. To mourn their loss he leaves awife, two daughters, Mrs. Mishie Lewis of this city and Miss Eliza Bruce of Chicago, two nieces and two nephews. We extend sympathy to the bereaved ones.
The Bud Billiken club sponsored by
The Bud Billiken club sponsored by Mrs. Florence Morgan and Mrs. Ella Hutson, is doing very commendable BLUE BLOWERS ON P AT CURTIS MOSB MUSIC WRITTEN BY JO. TR STOP PROFESIONAL SHO GUEST OF Another one of Curtis Mosby's supreme efforts has resulted in one of those floor shows that has everybody going away talking to themselves and no-fooling. The Nite Club King has two brand new shows and both of them are whangs in every sense of the word. A LITTLE RISQUE
The first show is woven around the beautiful chorus, Mr. Mosby has gathered and to us it is just a little risque, just enough to add a little tange to it. The principals in the first show that grab the spotlight are the one and only one, Miss Ivy Anderson the bronze beauty of the Blues, Suey Hoy the girl with the Chop Suey name, Laura Smith, low down blues moaner from the big and bad City of Chicago. Of course you know the show would not be complete without Eddie Anderson his brother Connie Anderson and Gus Jones the heavyweight comedian himself. These three boys are a show in themselves. They will crack your side with laughter. CHORUS FEATURES DANCES
The brown skinned chorus leads the way, with their version of the popular dances that have taken the spot light from time to time. And take it from me if you want to see the various dances of the present time done as they should be done, see these chorus beauties. Every dance from the cake walk down to the present snake hips take you through the dance age.
TIME OUT FOR SECOND SHOW
While things were quiet after the first show, I took time out to look around and see just what I could see.
COMPANY
NON-SECTARIAN CITY WIDE
REVIVAL GAMMA—
Will beheld at the church, 1846 Logan street, with a special week of prayer from March 23 to March 30. Rev. B. R. Guy and wife will assist John T. Brown, the evangelist and overseer. Sister Phelps and Sister Madison are expected from Pasadena. There will be preaching by the pastor Sunday morning and a special service conducted by Bro. and Sister Guy at $ p.m. Special oering at each service, the financial army being divided into three companies: No. 1 Sister Helm, leader; No. 2, Sister Franklin, leader; No. 3, Sister McKinley. The reserve forces will be called into action if needed on the fifth Sunday. Everybody welcome. Our Motto, Attempt great things for God. Expect great things from God.
JUST LOOKING AROUND
Ivy Anderson doing as a special,
"Some of these Days" and her old time favorite "Am I Blue" and how that little bundle of bonae beauty did do Ethel Waters' very own. I notice that demon banjo picker, Gia, is back, the band was lost without the old boy last week. Gus Jones strutting his stuff while doing "Frankie and Johnny Blues."
A sight worth seeing any time, any place and any how, Laura Smith snaking a mean pair of Snake Hips. Just a little Snaker than a snake can snake them. Now you know she is really snaking.
Jim Porter the Far West's own Louie Armstrong doing your's Truly's favorite of all times, "How Am I To Know." I think I can almost find a way when Jim lets go on the golden trumpet. Trying to keep still while the Blue Blowers Parade around on their last dance number before the second show.
NOW FOR THE SECOND SHOW
The seating of this 'in' in that place called Hell. But it was a Hell of a Hell to me. Nothing like I had the place pictured. There was the devat nimseh, with Miss Iva Anderson as Madam Deval. You had to provide plenty of fun and music of you could not stay down there. Ivy ruled her place with an iron hand.
The big feature of the second go around was the Dance of the Cossacks by Mary Richards the pretty little toe dancer and Eddie Anderson the big fun and laugh man. They really got a hand and it was some very clever dancing. PRO. DOINGS
The frost had their stuff stolen right away from them Wednesday night by two little sisters, who were not a day over ten years of age.
The girls were introduced as the Raine Sisters for a song and dance act. And did those kids stop the show. That would describe it they just stopped every thing in that night club for about thirty minutes and the guest gave them their undivided attention and no less.
They have the taps, down pat and they drew down a thunder house along wan some of those desirable green backs, but when they really did show what was what and why it was such, was the time they came tripping out and did that classic that would do credit to any big time ballet troupe. And did the money fly? Ask me another one.
The guest of honor was the famous Radio Artist Charlie Wellman of "Don't Go Away Folks Fame," and song writer, Charlie is known as the Prince of Pep over the Ozone.
Sam Harris and Sugarfoot Brown closed the show with a song and dance act, with Sam at the Ivories and Sugarfoot stomping them down.

Night. a stranger in a stranger town am 1, yet there is no fear upon me. How differently from the gasping excitement of New york here, only a few hours removed.
Being directed to the Y. W. C. A. through the courtesy of a man whom I approached on the train, we ride along on the dinky little local car quite高heartedly. Perhaps it is because we are in the Nation's Capitol, the seat of government and protection of all Americans,—our tranquility of spirit.
Cheerful sitting room—its green hanging terms and reed furniture. However, the slow, unconcerned motions and speech of the woman in charge remind us that we are indeed bordering the Mason-Dixon line. We climb the third story to the room assigned.
Further evidences, in the run-down condition of the room, its trayed, soiled curtains, ragged shades and "not-too-clean" appearance, that Washington, D. C., is southern in its proper sities.
We sleep the sleep of the weary traveler. Morning and the cateraera bring us in closer contact with southern characteristics. We groom ourselves for the busting business of the New York x. w. c. A., its quick, alert service that makes one sit up and take notice. The quietness of the regions below make us think that all nave had breakfast and gone. "Perhaps we are too late!" I think panicky. We listen, peeking and peering this way and that for some signs or life.
Entering the open door of the cafeteria, its emptiness was emphasized by the many rare tables. Finally two patrons quietly breakfasting at separate tables were discovered. No one at the counter, not much signs of breakfast. A melon cut, a few dishes strewn across the counter but the steaming odor of bubbling coffee was missing. After rapping a few times, attracting the attention of the patrons more than anyone, a girl appeared. She seemed not quite certain of the menu offered. Finally acting on a cordial invitation, we round ourselves opposite the other diner, a very attractive young woman.
Pats well met, finding many things in common, we started out for the day to see the sights of the Capitol.

THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN
COLUMBIA, S. C., March 17—By A.N.P.—That more white criminals faced the bar of Justice in the State of Carolina during the year, 1929, than Negroes was shown in the report made by Attorney John M. Daniel, which, was made public here Wednesday morning.
The recapitulation of the report by the Attorney General disclosed that white criminals were far in the lead in practically every type of crime. In practically every South Carolina County where the population is equally divided between the races, the white criminals led. Many Piedmont centers saw twice as many white people haled before the court as Negroes and only in a few infant counties did Negroes constitute the majority.
This report contradicted decisively the statement which is frequently made in this section, that crime in this state is fostered mainly by the Negro element. The preponderance of white criminals belies this statement much to the surprise of the whites.
Of the total of 4,069 people who faced juries during the year, 1929, 2,127 were white, and 1,942 were Negroes.
According to this report there were 303 homicides tried, but this number does not include many cases which were committed during the year covered by the report, that are being tried during the present term of court.
Negro Standing in His Own Light (Continued from Page One.)
partial control or what it eats, wears, and lives in, it is not building on a solid foundation. It is simply calling attention of the world to an unjust and pittable condition among us while at the same time receiving more contempt for our organized activities. To improve the social and civic condition of the Negro pace the economic condition must be improved, and to improve the economic condition immediate attention must be paid to the consumption of the race and the best methods of control.
On sixteen articles of consumption the American Negro needs a mial mum of $7,200,000,000.00 annually. On a basis of one employee to every $20,000.00 worth of business in retailing this would afford employment to 240,000 men and women of the race. In addition to this hundreds of thousands of our people would be employed in the manufacturing, production, and marketing of these sixteen articles of consumption. Furthermore, avenues in industry, and commerce in establishments or the dominant race would be open to us according to our several abilities, because with intelligent control of our consumption comes power which establishes a condition of reciprocity that is possible in no other way, and without a reciprocal position with the dominant race we shall remain economic and social slaves.
With a consumption that runs into billions of dollars annually there is no reason for general "belly aching" of the American Negro. The masses of us are not thinking. We have permitted our leaders to think for us and they have not thought along lines of fundamental things. Our leaders do not call our attention to our purchasing power and how best to use it for our benefit. They call our attention only to the effects that are caused by our economic weakness, such as lynching, distranchisement, and discrimination. When we arouse ourselves to organized action in an attempt only to remove the effects of our economic weakness we are simply buildings and frame buildings, with the huge shade trees here and there lending, beauty, shelter, stirring up romantic visions.
standing in our own light. The cause of these effects must first be removed. A sensible control through consumer' no-operation of our necessities is the only method that can get at the root of all our troubles.
We are ever speaking of equality and have not the least idea what it means. The masses of us must understand that equality of citizenship implies at least the ability of the race to feed itself. Our leaders, either do not understand this or they are not sincere in their efforts at racial advancement.
Fighting for our rights in the courts, beginning for jobs, conferring interactively for equality, organising a handful of people for political activities are not fundamental and will never give us the things desired, yet this is the extent of the efforts of our leaders and most of our periodicals. To obtain equality we must generate power and this cannot be done by condemning Pat Harrison and Tom Helfin for their stand on the race question. This power can be developed only by co-operative control of our necessities.
The American Negro does not know what things are fundamental and what things are not. How can they know when the bulk are taught by our leaders that the race must be built from the top downward?
Here is some of the "stunt" we are fed. Certain newspapers owned and operated by our race are attempting to turn Paradise and Hades over by attempting to force white business in Negro neighborhoods to give employment to colored people on the grounds that such business thrives on Negro support. These attempts on the part of our press are especially prevalent in the East. They have met with certain success in this campaign and are now bragging about it and considering such of real value to the race. Do not these newspapers realise that if Negroes are replaced by white men in New Orleans in the digging of sewers and handling garbage that a few jobs as bookkeepers and clerks in white business operated in Negro neighborhoods are not permanent? Personally I do not believe that our editors have given this a thought. We are in need of more jobs but we must create them. A control of our consumption is the only method to create them to any extent. Why do not our editors admonish our people to capture their own trade in their district, thereby creating and owning the jobs they hold?
It was said on the floor of the convention of the National Negro Business League, held in New York City, in August, 1928 that of the 300,000 Negroes in Harlem there were not enough grocery stores to feed them for half an hour if every colored person decided to buy from Negro store keepers. It was further said the manager of the Harlem Branch of the Chelsea Bank of New York advised, when asked if the bulk of his deposits was money belonging to Negroes, that practically all his deposits was money belonging to Negroes "but" he added, "This money is not in the name of Negroes. It is in the name of the Greek, Jew, Chinman, Italian and other races who have the business foreseight to come within the Negroes' neighborhood and capture their trade."
In spite of such glaring truth as the above we continue our begging, our fight for constitutional rights, and our pleas for consideration and equality. At the same time while we are reaching out for the crumbs someone in the person of a Jew or foreigner step off with the loat taken from our own household. Such reasoning as we do regarding our economic condition is sufficient evidence that we are standing in our own light.
Karl Meaninger's "The Human Mind," Princess Der Ling's "Kow Tow," Manuel Kohlroff's "Coronet," Jim Tully's "Shadows of Men," and Lothrop Stoddard's "Luck, Your Silent Partner" will be reviewed by Mrs. E. W. Alexander and Mr. Bruce Forsythe at the March meeting of the Helen Hunt Jackson Library Book Club. The meeting will be held at 8:00 P.

(For The A. N. P.)
We assume that President Hoover really wants to do something about evil and immoral occupation of Hayti. We assume this in spite of the fact that he made the greatest mistake by not naming a Negro citizen on the real Hayti Commission. Of course he gave us a side-show commission which has on it some fine men, but which has no power except the power to "report to the white folks." That is the ordinary conception in Amethyst of the Negro's "place." Surely, Dr. Moton is a sane and safe enough Negro to have been put on the real commission. Then he could have been put in charge of a special commission on education, just the same; and better, for then he would have had authority, prestige, and power to push for the objections of this subordinate commission. The appointment of this autonomous commission is really a confession by the executive that a Negro should have been put on the job with the others. It is the American's way, however, of dealing with a "child race": to hand it a "sugar-treat" to pactily it and keep it from bawling.
BASTROP, La. March 17—By A. N.P.—Two youths, Joe Win, and Irston (Bo) Webb, the slayers of Bob Lee, and aged white man, last July at Horseshoe Lake, divided their pocket change among prison mates, uttered a prayer, and died on the gallows.
Both professed religion, and calmly went to their deaths. En route to the gallows the sheriff asked which wished to die first. Winn answered "ready" and was ushered to the scaffold. The rope slipped and he hung there for 39 minutes before he was pronounced officially dead. Webb was hanged nine minutes later.

Benjamin J. Bowie Post was a beehive of activity on last Monday night. More than 30 boy scouts from the west side under the direction of Mr. Webster and inspired by Mrs. Prineau were on hand to pay the post a visit. The troops has just come under the sponsorship of the Benjamin J. Bowie Post, and is the first of two units to be formed.
Repaying a visit from the post which was made to them last month, the Alhambra Post was out 60 strong with their drum and bugle corp. The bugle corp. scouts and Ben Bowie members assembled in parade formation and marched from Adams and Central to the 'hall with a blare and fen-fare of drums and bugles. After a short business session the post had a program of entertainment which was rendered by the scouts, bugle corp. and volunteer members of its own group.
After adjournment, with the boy scouts retired, the buddies from both post accepted an invitation of their comrad Curtis Carpenter to attend the performance at the Apex Nite Club as the guest of their buddie Curtis Mosby. The entire group repaired to the Apex where they enjoyed the show and its special features. The spirit of comradship expressed by the Alhambra Post was inspiring and the rousing welcome extended by Ben Bowie was heartening. LEGION CONFERENCE MEETING
Leon Whitaker, Chairman of the Benjamin J. Bowie American Legion Quarterly Conference Committee, has announced the meeting of the conference to be held on Sunday afternoon, April 27th in the auditorium of the Vernon Branch Public Library. The purposed legislation and matters of general community interest will be assembled and discussed by the laymen. There will be no resolution made or votes taken at the meeting but the various civic nad religious organizations are requested to have representatives present to get the entire details and take it back to their respective organizations for action. Mr. Whitaker was elected chairman of the newly formed committee six months ago.
New Orleans N. A. A. C.
P. Presses Case for
Shot Girl
New York, Mar. 7.—Dr. George W. Lucas, president of the New Orleans branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports that the branch in co-operation with the Federated Civic Leagues, is prepared to press the case against the white police officer who shot a fourteen-year-old colored girl when she resisted his advances in the cafe where she worked. A statement issued by the New Orleans N. A. A. C. P. and Federated Civic Leagues, says in part:
"We are going to fight and not give up until our women are no longer shot down by white brutes for fun. The N. A. A. C. P. and Federated Civic Leagues have employed competent counsel to see that the murderer of Hattie McCary, who gave her life to save her honor, is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
The Louisiana Weekly is co-operat-
ing with the two organizations press-
ing this case.

Walter White Addresses Student Gathering at Smith College
New York, Mar. 12.—Students from twelve leading American colleges, including Hatvard, Yale, Amherst, Vassar, Lefayette and Smith, gathered at Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts this week to hear a discussion of cultural conflicts in America between Negro and white, Jew and Gentile, and Protestant and Catholic.
One of the discussion leaders was Walter White, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who addressed a Round Table session on the historic development of race antagonism, tracing its growth in slavery, imperialism, the promulgation of the idea of Nordic supremacy, and the consequences of this attitude in Africa, the Forces in the United States, and in the Caribbean.
Associated with Mr. White in leadership of the discussion was Professor Frank H. Hankins, of the Smith College sociology department, author of "The Racial Basis of Civilization." The discussion lasted throughout Saturday, March 1, being followed by a general tea, and a dinner for the speakers at the Northampton Hotel. At the night session the speakers were Mr. White, James Waterman Wise, son of Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and Professor Hankins.
The student gathering was under the supervisor of Professor S. Ralph Harlow of the department of religion at Smith College, and Everett R. Clinch, secretary of the Committee on Good Will Between Jew and Gentile. Other speakers at the conference included John Herman Randall, Jr., Professor of philosophy at Columbia University; Deth A. McCarthy, author and poet; and Julius Bialet, professor of religion at Smith College.

needs the most careful care of an ex-,

value your health never “take chances”

good physician at once.
DIARRHEA—Is due to irritation
of the intestines. The treatment in,
many cases, “is the same as that for
upset stomach. If the diarrhea persists,

NOTE—Diarrhea is a “symptom,”
that is a sigh, given by nature that
there is some abnormal condition pre-
sent. within the boty house. This sign
should always be headed and. in no
