And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye and behold a beam is in thine own eye. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shall thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye—Matt. 7:3, 4, 5.
So says the good book. After weighing the evidence from every angle as to why we are held back economically, we are convinced that it is not due to the obstacles placed in our path by other races but rather to the lack of confidence that we have in each other and ourselves. So often we "hear members of our group saying: 'I would give you my work but it don't measure up to the standard of work turned out by other concerns.' Especially is this criticism true with regard to the proposition of skilled labor, and in order to offer a concrete example, right here we will have to be personal. We operate a print shop in which there are employed eleven persons classed as skilled workmen. While some of these compare favorably with the average skilled workman, others are in the making. In our effort to keep pace and to encourage those entrusted to our care along this line, the situation at times becomes indeed discouraging, especially where we have such competition as the larger printshops with every modern equipment and members of our own group ever ready to make an unjust comparison. Even our own big business men, in most instances are too short-sighted to realize that in the fields of printing, automobile manufacturing, aeronautics, the Negro is just entering.
O YES, we printed our first newspaper, The New National Era in 1871, but it was not until recent years that Negroes made any attempt to equip themselves with newspaper offices with printing departments in which they might employ their own as mechanics. Of course, occasionally a Negro has had a chance to learn the printer's trade in what is called a white shop; but as a rule they are not employed in white print shops because white mechanics refuse to work with them, which information is handed out to the Negro applicant by the white shop owner-operator when he applies for work. And yet the fellow race contender for a place in the industrial sunshine of our nation, even when you have through the medium of your newspaper, helped him to put his business proposition on the map by pointing out why he should enjoy the confidence and encouragement of his fellows, is first to come forth with praise for the white man's production as against your ability to compete.
There are Negroes who enjoy pulling chestnuts out of the fire for white concerns in preference to their own. In many lines in merchandise and other avenues in which we have not yet engaged, in these cases in order to wisely get some returns for our dollars; we should seek out and trade with those concerns which employ some of our men or women, or at least respect us to the extent that they advertise in our Race journals.
IT WILL BE READILY admitted that there is a strange psychology that predominates the Negro in business—he seems to think that a pound of butter weighed or sold over the counter by a Negro salesman must of necessity differ from the same sale transmitted by a white salesman, if you doubt what we say here, go to the Pyramid Grocery store, ask for Rugene Fisher, pioneer young Negro groceryman in East Los Angeles, and

often seems merely mephanistc, of

Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church—Rev. T. F. Jones, Pastor—Inspiring services were held at Grant Chapel Last Sunday. The Sunday School had a large attendance. The High School girls got the banner for both attendance and offering. At II o'clock the Pastor preaches a short sempton and turns the meeting to the congregation for a general testimony meeting. All enlisted this meeting. Rea James, Washington, Iowa, Presiding Elder was with us at the morning service.
At three o'clock in the afternoon the pastor, Bro H. M. Spears and some of the young people attended the meeting at Bethel on the west side. At six o'clock there was a special group of young people at the Junior Endeavor meeting. The membership contest now on is creating a deal of interest and enthusiasm.
At the evening service hour the large congregation assembled to witness the program and annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe.
The Orders made a splendid showing and the congregation enjoyed the service. The Senior Choir furnished the music. The Group leaders made splendid reports.
Next Sunday will be Quarterly meeting. The Presiding Elder, Rev. J. W. Price will preach at both the morning and evening service. At three o'clock in the afternoon there will be a union Quarterly meeting service of all the A. M. E. Churches in the city. Rev. D. Isaacs Pastor of the 1st A. M. E. church 8th and Towne will preach and the choir from the First Church will sing.
Shaw Mission M. E. Church 114th Street and Compton Ave.—Rev. O. Stout, Pastor—The Pastor preached an able sermon last Sunday, from the Text "Every Knee Shall Bow and Every Tongue Shall Confess."
All enjoyed the message. The Sunday School is improving and increasing in numbers. The teachers are preparing for a great Easter program.
The primary class continues to keep the banner, the little folks have a spirit to give. We hope the other classes will follow their example.
The Ladies Aid have changed their meeting dates to the first and fourth Thursdays in each month. They are doing a wonderful work and will continue their membership drive. All are welcome to the services.
Macedonia Baptist Church—Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor—The Sunday School was very enthusiastic with teachers and students on time.
The 11 o'clock services were conducted by Pastor Curtis and Rev. H. J. Herring of Dalton, Mo. was the speaker of the morning. He later brought to us a wonderful message we feel very grateful to this man of God for his visit with us and our spiritual benefit derived from his sermon.
The B. Y. P. U. met at its usual hour with Mrs. Vance presiding. The lesson was in session for 20 minutes after which a very interesting program was rendered. The 8 o'clock services began promptly with the introductory by the Senior Choir. Pastor Curtis, (Somewhat indisposed) preached for us, his sermons are untiring and when we hear his wonderful sermons we have something to think on, for his sermons are of deep thought. We were made to rejoice with an addition to our church in the person of Mrs. Prudon residing on East 114th and has applied for membership to our choir. Among our visitors were Rev H. J. Herring, Miss Iva Mills, B. W. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Soares, Mrs. Mabel Pennel, Mrs. Leona Robinson, Mrs. Lee Williams, Mrs. W. W. Muckelay, Mr. and Mrs. Ike Reese', and Mr. Tommie Reese. Services closed with splendid reports of the day. We extend a hearty welcome to our friends and we assure a cordial invitation to our church in our services.
Last Thursday evening a very appreciative audience gathered to witness the Recital given by Madame Fred Skinner, Sr. residing on E, 105 10th Street, at Macedonia Baptist Church. Madame Skinner is nationally known for her wonderful recitals and for her untiring information and encouragement to the young and old in her excellent readings. To hear her is to be ybenefited. Madame Skinner has credentials from the States of Kan, Mo, Colo, New Mexico, IL, and many other states. Any information concerning her ability, you will call Rev. Curtis LA. 0404 or Mrs. Knox J3412 we will gladly recommend her to the public.
The Tea given by the Eastern Star at the residence of Mrs. Eva Bragg was quite a success many were out and a very neat sum was realized.
Mrs. Bertha Johnson of Houston is one among the visitors in our city. Mrs. Johnson is very favorably impressed with our city.
Mrs. Nellie Hutt 10325 Juniper St. passed away last Saturday morning after a long illness. The funeral was held at Grant Chapel A. M. E, Church Wednesday.
The "Modern Wedding" an entertainment in which thirty-five children took part was staged at Grant Chapel drew a large crowd. The audience was delighted with the performance of the little people, all of whom were beautifully and fittingly dressed for the occasion.
The success of the entertainment was due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Gresham and Miss Hardy who had charge of the affair.

Mrs. Rector was treated with courtly on this as on all other occasions and was lucky enough to winsecond prize for having one of the lucky numbers that were distributed during the course of the dinner.

ASSOCIATION
PROGRESSIVE START IN ECONOMICS
We beg to report progress along the line of economics. We cite the instance wherein the members of the largest single fraternal order in the city are up in arms demanding the building which they are about to erect should be built by the group. Of course they are demanding at the same time that as a matter of course the builder shall meet the low figure of his competitor. This slant shows the people are waking up to the proposition of self helpfulness to the utmost and we are interested they should go even further and concentrate upon the proposition of giving their own genius a break.
Especially does the above paragraph demonstrate the possibilities for future solidarity of the group if it will but use its power in building up the various enterprises fostered by our group. The result will be the absolute solution of the problem of economics and make places of our own for our own. It reaches out so far and even reminds every angle of our citizenship of its bounden duty to build up its own propositions. Other groups will then be really your brother in trade and the race will march on to greater heights and play a more important part in the affairs of even the government itself.
POLITICS AND HONESTY
With the approaching campaign for Governor and other political positions and the attendant scramble for place and leadership, even at this early stage, rumors of deceit, double crossing and the like have come to our notice. It is our sincere hope that the same are untrue, for be it known such conduct even upon the part of a particular individual is a sad reflection upon any group. Therefore even though there are those who desire to shine in political leadership, be it known your star will shine with greater brilliancy than any other star if you have honest endeavor and character to put behind your effort. Honesty should be your watchword and character your goal, for truly the Golden Rule and the decalogue have not been yet disappeared as one of the cardinal principles in the affairs of government.
HOW COME--EXCLUSIVELY?
Several days ago, one of the local dailies devoted principally to legal notices, records, statistics, calendars, and comments, had, as one of its news items, an article referring to the famous Westside swimming pool case, now being re-tried. Among other things it stated that the question as to whether a Negro could legally and effectively demand the use of a municipal swimming pool that was "exclusively for white patronage," was before the local Superior Court.
Such an item, although apparently merely an innocent bit of news, is especially inquisitous and pernicious. For, by suggesting to many minds the idea that the pool is for the exclusive use of white persons it closes their minds on the issue and begs the very question in controversy.
No municipally owned and conducted proprietary enterprise in California, is exclusively for the patronage of persons of any color. There may be some reason or rhyme in saying that citizens of a city may have priority over non-citizens of a city or that women may be distinguished from men in the use of city-owned facilities; but, to say that white may use, and is not only unfair, but dangerous, in a time when social unrest assails our land, and when every plausible step should be taken to assure all citizens of their privileges and liberties.
To say that the pool is exclusively for white patronage, and that we are trying to intrude into the pool, makes our case look ridiculous. Where do they get that stuff? How come? We are simply standing on the broad, social, democratic and governmental principle that city-owned facilities are for the reasonable use of all the citizens of that city.
Let all who assail our fundamental and logical position prove: (first) that a distinction in that use because of color is reasonable, (second) that it is legally justifiable to use the taxpayers' money in such a manner, and (third) that an appointive municipal administrative commission has the power to make such a discrimination.
After having made the above mentioned showing, interested persons may then, and only then, properly assume that a Negro is attempting to use a pool designated and set aside exclusively for "white patronage."
BE BRIEF
Poor terminal facilities for authors and speakers often nullify all their excellent wisdom. A man may possess all kinds of useful knowledge, but fail in "discerning when to have done."
Brevity is the touchstone of success in any field. You may offend your customer, your reader or your hearer in one respect and please him in another. But if you tire him with your tediousness, you lose him altogether.
The newspaper leads the style today in pith and cogency and has educated the public to the expectation of receiving much in little. The well-executed cartoon-will impart a whole philosophy of life at a glance, or provide silent comment on current events worth a column of words.
Brevity is the soul of wit. Yet they who have wit, or think they have, are in especial danger of saying too much. Some one has said: "It is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to opeh the mouth and dispel all doubt."
Be brief!
ON BEING USEFUL
Men and women who sow the seed of constant useful activity reap the harvest of success from a soil fertilized by their own steady purpose. It would be as foolish to expect success without active exertion as to gather a crop before you plant the seed. But in cultivating that character which reaps true achievement you may sow in all seasons and gather the fruit with the serene assurance that even wind and weather—storm and stress—are a part of the process of personal growth.
Optimism is an ally of effort and success. It is the kernel of the nut, not the shell. It is the fine trait of the man, not the faults. It is the flowers on the hillside, not the dead leaves under the snow. It is the opportunity in any job, not the grind. It is up to the individual whether his world will be golden or drab. Optimism in a world is the eye of the soul. it is the color in the vision revealing the fine beyond the coarse, the best beyond the worst.
SYNTHETIC NEWSPAPERS
The controversy over the question whether newspapers should publish crime news is not unlike the controversy over any other form of censorship. With them all it is a turbulent minority seeking the censorship of something the majority wants, unexpurgated and unadulterated. In this particular controversy the evil effects of the thing for which censorship is sought are harder to detect than in many and censorship would be even less effectual than in some others. With the possible exception of the larger cities, crime news travels faster than the newspaper presses.
The average citizen and newspaper reader is more ready to believe that the murder or bank robber who blames the crime news for his crime is only making excuses in the hope of persuading the judge to give him "another chance."
You can do what you like if your like what you do.
Getting along nicely in this world is not inherited.
Travel broadens some. Others return as skinny as ever.
Two wrongs don't make a right. They often get one left.
If a man wants his dreams to come true he has to wake up.
Atom is smallest thing in this world. Up an atom the biggest.
A diplomatic gesture is something that makes you think maybe you will get your money.
The line of least resistance leads downward and the line of most persistence leads upward.
It is savage to sacrifice children in the name of religion; we do it only in the name of speed.

COMMENTS
W. J. WHEATON
The attempt to segregate Gold Star Mothers clubs in the contemplated visit, or pilgrimage, to the graves of those relatives who made the "supreme sacrifice for the cause of world democracy" on the battlefields of France, is one of the burning subjects of the moment. In face of the protest of Massachusetts' Governor, Frank W. Allen, and the hundreds of associations, civic and political of both races; Col. W. P. Gibson of the Quartermasters General Office who has charge of the pilgrimage seems to ignore them and proceeds to plan his programme of racial segregation. "We have consulted some of the outstanding Negroes of the country who were apparently satisfied with the arrangements. They (the Negro Gold Star Mothers) will be given the same treatment given the white mothers. I cannot understand why they would not prefer being together," he said. It is well for the peace and welfare of those OUTSTANDING NEGROES that Col. Gibson did not mention their names. We are not surprised at the attitude taken by the Colonel, for not personally understanding why the far-seeing Americans of both races protest the color segregation. His vision has been narrowed by the darkness of the glasses through which he has glimpsed humanity. His environs have been of such a nature that he has lost all sense of fairness in discernment where the color of the skin is concerned. It is not that Negro women seek to be put in social contact with the other pilgrims, but it is a matter of reproach; reproach upon the government in whose service their sons and husbands died. The laws of states segregate those who with criminal intent commit some overt act; degraded individuals or those who may be incapacitated mentally. To segregate the Negro Gold Star Mothers associations is to place them in the same category with the criminal, morally unfit, and mental deficits. That is why the protest against racial segregation is being made. Further: unless President Hoover, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy sees that the pernicious order issued by his subordinate is rescinded he will be held responsible. It is more than possible that the high spirited women will refuse the offer of the trip under the conditions mapped out by the War Department and it would place this nation in the spotlight for international ridicule.

It is not to be wondered at Cole Blease, S. C., ranting and fuming when the Senate confirmed the nomination of James Cobb as Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. That is his prerogative: If he could not have inserted some vilified expletive in the record the session would not have been complete. His latest was, "It's an outrage of Negro jurors and judges trying white women." Why bring in the women? Unless it is some civil litigation involving the presence of a women none appear in the court presided over by Judge Cobb. Then the municipal bench has been occupied by that most efficient Judge since 1926 and previous to that by a former Negro, the Late Judge Terrel for a number of decades. The Texas legislature seems to have been asleep for some time, though it awakens with a start at the mention of the word Negro. Some of its members coming out of the dozen read where the Negro, Cobb,, had been named for reappointment. Immediately all other business was suspended while the combined legislative membership drafted a letter to the President and their members in the Senate protesting the nomination and confirmation. It seems unnecessary to add that? Judge Cobb was confirmed without any trouble.
The bull's eye in the target is the round black circle. All ambitious marksmen are anxious to hit it. The Negro marks the bull's eye in the national target, and whenever some ambitious politician wants to gain power he shoots at it. Some years ago the democratic nestor of the Senate F. McL. Simmons, North Carolina, sought political power and took several shots at target with the Negro as the objective. No more vindictive campaign was ever waged than that of 1898 when he advocated "white supremacy." He led the way for the nullification of the 14th and 15th amendments and practically disfranchised the Negro vote. But "chickens come home to roost" and the voters which the Senator sought to disfranchise, aided by the antagonistic faction of his own party is liable to return him to private life after thirty years of bossing the Democratic party of N. C. The Senator committed the unpardonable sin of bolting the ticket in the presidential election of 1928. He
supported President Hoover. Now, he is classed in the same bunch with Tom Heflin, Ala., and the "Faithful" threaten to dispossess him of the sematorial toga. The Negroes remembering his perpidity in the days gone by are aligning themselves with his antagonist and their combined vote can defeat him.
When the Ward Line Steamphip company, refused to sell Langston Hughes, Negro Poet, passage to Cuba, the matter was taken up by the N. A. A. C. P. The contention was made that the Cuban government officials intimated that Negro tourists and visitors would not be permitted to land. The agents of the Ward Line disowned any intent for discrimination. A direct statement from the Cuban Government was solicited and was forthcoming. A statement from Dr. Miguel Campa, under secretary of state for Cuba cables that "No government ruling exists denying entry of allens under race or nationality, and the prohibition only deals with Chinese Labors, enacted over a quarter century ago. " The Association further learns, that there has been a disposition to restrict the entry of Negro laborers, especially those migrating from Haiti who sought to flee from the rule of the American occupation there. Langton Hughes travelled to the Island on one of the ships of the Cunard Line. Dr. Richardson, of Sacramento, Calif., was the victim of such discrimination as was Mr. Hughes. With his wife and party he sailed from the port of San Francisco for a trip through the Panama Canal with stops at Central American ports and Cuba. When they reached the port of Havana, Cuba, although a reception committee came out to greet them, they were not permitted to go ashore. As it is in most cases, a pompous under official informed them that under no consideration would they be allowed ashore during the stay of the ship in port. There was a Senegambian in the woodpile somewhere and it took the N. A. A. C. P. to smoke him out.
It is rumored that Mayor James Rolph, Jr., San Francisco, will not enter the primary contest for the governorship but will enter the race as an independent candidate at the general election. The Mayor is not in the game of politics, therefore, we place no credence in the rumor. They have been seeking to smoke the Mayor out for a declaration for a long time, but he has kept them on the anxious seat. He has been flirting about through the State for quite a while wooing the smiles of the voters. The Mayor is a splendid mixer also. He feels as much at home heading a St. Patrick's parade up Market street, as he does weilding the gavel over a bunch of obstreperous supervisors. (With all of that it is conceded that he will not risk his official future by seeing the governorship as an independent candidate against the present incumbent.
Some fraternal men were discussing recently the tendency of Negroes in fraternalism who once their tentacles are fastened on the leadership they can be loosened only through DEATH. They were members of three distinct Orders and they each disproved of the methods used in maintaining their strangle hold on the fraternal throat. One or two of the men were of the opinion that the Orders were degenerating into "one man" affairs and that if the present dictatorial regime lasted much longer the organizations would die from sheer inanity. There will exist a spiritless condition inimical to the fraternal interest which will mark the passng of that bond which held them together in mutual helpfulness. With the passing of that fellowship, which is the heritage of men, there will come that feeling of self centeredness, which is the bane of human progress and the decadence of moral worth. But it was a relief to hear one remark that "The B. P. O. E. of W. belongs to the members who make up the subordinate lodges and not to any assumed dictatorship. It was birthed by the spirit of democracy and reared on the principle of equal opportunity." There was a great Teacher who, when He walked the earth, said, "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

In a recent discourse given in an assembly by a speaker who descanted on "Nordic" superiority we were fascinated with his theories. His historical allusions were illusions. He was as acquainted with the history of the darker races as most laymen would be with the Einstein theory of Relativity. Especially was this true of the history of the American Negro. He had studied the race during the period of reconstruction. Then he knew nothing of the great Race characters of that day. All that he knew was that slaves was freed and turbed loose on an unsympathetic world. He knew nothing of Frederick Douglass, who has been mentioned for a niche in the Hall of Fame; of Robert Smalls and Cheatham and White who served as congressmen; or of Revels and Bruce of the U.S. Senate; nor of Crispus Attucks, who started the stream of blood which flowed in the War of the Revolution. He had no conception of Benjamin Baneker, mathematician and scientists: of Henry Tanner, painter, who is compared with Michael Angelo in his portrayal of religious subjects, and, oh what's the use! One could keep on writing names until they ran out, of paper. But when he had finished we were more than ever convinced that the idea of a superior race is erroneous and that the superior individual within the race is a fact.
Tonight we are listening to the roar of the army airplane motors as they mass for manouveres at Mathers Field, Sacramento. Swift pursuit planes; combat planes and monstrous bombers go roaring overheard. Dashing this way and darting to and fro in the clouds with the swiftness of a swallow. What all of this demonstration on the Pacific Coast is all about only Uncle Samuel knows. He has gathered these gasoline birds from all corners of his domain. May be is is just to make them acquainted one with the other.
It won't be long now until we can Zep it over to Honolulu in "one nothing." At any rate the time from San Francisco to the Hawaii's will be counted by hours instead of days. You will enter your luxurious cabin from the elevator in the mooring mast (that is if you have the price) and ensconce yourself comfortably for the trip out over the Pacific Ocean. You can then sing truthfully, "Merrily we glide along above the deep blue sea."
Congressman Johnson has introduced a bill declaring that instrumental musicians unless of distinguished merit and ability, be considered as contract laborers under the immigration law. We would not like to see such a measure pass. There might be a reprisal injuries to the Negro musician who, at the present, is in great demand in London; Paris, and Berlin. A reprisal would be of injury to the Negro only. Defeat of the measure would affect the union musician of American who has no affiliation with the Negro in the formation of orchestras. The National High School orchestra engaged to play for the Music Supervisors' Conference in Chicago has barred Miss Carolyn Glover, Columbus, O., because the Stevens Hotel allows no Negro other than servants to enter the hostelry. Though protests have been made by prominent musicians, the hotel remains obdurate and will not admit the orchestra to play if it insists on the appearance of Miss Glover. There is a splendid example of the three big I's that are the essence of "Nordic Superiority" (?) —Insult; Intolerance; Ignorance.
Los Angeles, Calif., March 25, 1930.
My dear Mrs. Bass:
Please permit a friend space in your valuable paper to offer flowers while you are alive and can enjoy them.
Of course, you, like all others had to begin at the bottom and grow, but have contributed toward endurance and permanency. No reliable census of the many Race journals has been kept, but they have sprung from every state and section, and their span of life in most instances has been so brief and apologetic that only tough estimates have been attempted.
It is true we find typographical errors in your paper; but the fact that you hope to increase the self respect of the Race by collating and publishing the creditable achievements of our institutions, such as the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company, the Liberty Building Loan Association and others too numerous to mention, makes us patient through all mistakes and willing to lend our co-operation for a better and bigger paper. We appreciate the fact that you speak for man and womanhood, Race elevation, and for material development in every avenue of industry. An able woman, engaged in a noble work, doing so at a tremendous sacrifice; a true patriot, bearing burdens from which the timid shrink, leading cheerily where none but the brave dare follow. To you goes the credit for the first appearance of colored girls in the General Hospital and you have by your tireless work seen to it that men and women were appointed after having qualified for civil service appointments. It has never been too early or too late for you to answer the call and go to the front when the cause of the Race was involved.
We are happy to lend you our support because since your advenient in the newspaper field, as we are informed, the first woman to own and conduct a newspaper in this part of the country, your institution has grown to where you now have a pay roll of nearly $600 a week and own your own machinery. You are striving to encourage young men and women to become capable printers. Someone must he willing to make the sacrifice and most assuredly it is not going to be the other fellow. A paper owned and operated by Race people, though in perfect is worth ten times more to the community or Race in general than better papers, edited by Negroes but printed, owned and controlled by white politicians.
We are proud to know that the Eagle has taken such a stand that its columns are read by white patrons, many of whom take interest in noting the advancement of their brother in black. You are ever on the alert to champion the Negro's cause and never wholly sink his originality within the narrow confines of party bounds. You have set a splenoid example by placing racial weal above private gain, which exalted patriotism above pelf. You have demonstrated that you are broad enough to eschew petty personalities and to avoid cheap sensationalism, breathe the atmosphere of freedom, whose inspiration is not drawn from the committee rooms of political parties and whose course is not dictated by scheming politicians. Since you have stood for twenty years, we feel safe in saying that the fair minded men and women of our community appreciate genuine worth, your refiner taste, sound udgment, and a skiving sense of proportions that has produced a newspaper that stands as a model to posterity.
Yours for Greater Success,
FORD

to be self-reliant. They have not urged our entering the commercial field and the industrial. In fact we are kept out of certain lines of manufacture and commerce even as employees. Evidently in those fields that keep white civilization going, there must be power. The Negro race in Los Angeles should think on these matters and make a united effort to support an organization that calls attention to our grossly neglected economic side of life. The Pyramid Co-operative Association not only calls attention to the economic possibilities of the race, but it offers the only practical solution for our one big problem, economic weakness and its attendantills. Such an organization is worthy of your consideration and its business your support.

The hustlers are now hitting the ball, hunting up the source at the various headquarters and trying to get a shot at the long green. However, "believe it or not," in most instances the result is not unlike the "baseless fabric of a vision."

"Our white folks" seem to delight in mixing things up at times themselves. Especially does this apply to the political horizon. One of their major objectives is to do everything they can to create walls within the ranks of the coloured people. Unserer pululous brother, they divided and will even part with their money to bring this pass.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Mar. 47—By A.N.P.—The theory that the African must develop along lines peculiar to himself and differing from the main currents of civilization is fundamentally unsound according to Dr. J. D. Rheinallt Jones, Professor of Bantu tribal law at the University of the Withwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, who spoke to the student body here Sunday evening, Dr. Jones is also editor of Bantu Studies, a journal of native tribes.
This theory has been advanced by those who wish to keep the native in ignorance and to exploit him. Dr. Jones said. Basically the African does not differ from other people. Such differences as exist are cultural and can be overcome by Christian Education. Other races have gone through the same stages of development as the African tribes are now in and have emerged as civilized people. The African can do likewise. Within recent years, Dr. Jones stated, there has been an awakening on the part of the whites of South Africa to extend better opportunities to the natives.

NEW YORK, Mar 16—By A.N.P. John Cearson, 28, a white private in the U. S. Army attached to the G1st Aero Squadron, at Mitchell Field, Mincula, is field without bail for appearance in court on a charge of homicide in connection with the death of Bessie Manninga, a 35 year old colored woman of 140 Prospect Street; South Jamaica.
At 3:30 A.M. Sunday police of the Jamaica police were notified that there was trouble at the Prospect St. address. They rushed to the house to find a room in the house in disorder and a woman later identified as Bessie Manning lying on the floor dead from a stab wound over the heart. Te detectives found the coat and hat of a man, but there were no identifications marks. Later, the detectives received an anonymous tip, went to a house at 128 Prospect Street, where they broke in the front door and found Careason in bed. Asked where his hat and coat were, he maintained that he left them in a cabaret earlier in the evening. Cetason was taken to the Jamaica station and questioned for more than four hours.
After the severe grilling, Cerason admitted that he has just re-installed in the army, having been discharged about three days ago. He said he stabbed the Manning woman while she and Ruth Orgon, 27 years old, were fighting. The two women were quarrelling over Cerason, it is alleged before the fight began. Cerason declared he stabbed the Manning woman after she had thrown a lamp at her opponent. Miss Orgon was treated at the Mary Immaculate Hospital for head cuts.
Golfers Pay Tribute To Dead Caddy
ATLANTA, Ga., March 17—By A. N.P.—Members of the White Anstey Golf Club paid tribute to "J. D," a caddy at the club here Tuesday when funeral services were held for him from a local mortuary. "J. D," as he was known, was one of the most popular caddies at the club and when he cled the members collected funds for his burial and Rev. Lewis D. Newton, pastor of Drudd Hills Baptist Church, for whom the lad had caddied preached the funeral.
The lad was wounded in a fight here Saturday night, and the wounds proved fatal.

"Your sins will find you out" Sebe Henderski, confessed bootlegger and state's star, witness in the famous Sheffield case, is today lamenting this scriptural excerpt. It appears that Sergeant E. J.

They staked out from 7 the evening before until 9 that morning upon which they observed two men come down the alley and break the lock on the garage and go in. These two men proved to be Sebe Hendricks and one Ed. Williams. When the officers rushed the garage to apprehend the 'two men, Sebe Hendricks attempted to run. Hendricks had broken a one gallon jug of liquor that he was about to emerge with. In addition, two one-half gallons full of liquor, two bottles of liquor coloring, and part of a quart bottle of Apricot syrup were found. Hendricks and Williams were both booked on Wright Act ocession over a gallon. Hendricks bailed out, but the following day he was picked up on violation of probation. It is said that Hendricks is and was on probation for his last Wright Act conviction, for it is said he has two W. A. P. priors and two W. A. sales. However he denies same and plead not guilty. His trial is set for April 8. Div. 8. Williams was fined $1000 and 180 days in jail.

it had been the men and women of indomitable courage. While others were trembling and anxious and shrinking, they were moving fast and fearlessly toward the goal that was desired. "The team that can't be beaten, is the team that won't be beaten," was the motto of the Princeton gridiron boys, and it lead them to victory over the splendid organizations of Yale and Harvard. Defeat in fact is merely a mental and moral matter. It is a state of mind and internal condition. Many an army has surrendered just at the moment that the opposing army was getting ready to hoist the white flag. It is the person that can hold out and keep his courage up to the fighting point, whatever the hardness of the opposition—forgetting to give up and remembering only to keep on—who is sure to win. History has proven hundreds of times that it is not the size of the army in the fight that counts so much as it is the size of the fight in the army.

MATRIMONIAL CORNER
We see that Miss Lavena Patterson and My. Silene P. Denes have filled intention to marry. Congratulations!
The Ivy Leaf Cup held a very in-
teresting meeting last Tuesday at the home of Miss Jessie Mae Nickerson. Plenty of "pep" and enthusiasm helped to make the meeting an enjoyable one.
The main diversion of the afternoon was a debate, with Mae Turner and Elizabeth Jones on the affirmative side, and Marjorie Ball and Keydia Woods on the negative. A debate may seem a very slow pastime for some of the more sophisticated group of young folk, but this particular one was a unique attraction, in that the question debated was as follows: Resolved that sororites and internites are a detriment to society. It is interesting to note than the affirmative side won. The A. K. A. pledges are wondering if their challenge to the Delta pledges to play baseball will be answered, or if something less strenuous should be considered.

WHITAKER BANQUE PLANS
PERFECTED—CITIZENS COMMITTEE IN FULL SWING.
The Citizens' Committee, that is working jointly with the Southern section of the California Federation of Colored Women's clubs in projecting the banquet that is to be given in honor of Deputy District Attorney Leon Whitaker, and for the Federation's Scholarship Loan Fund, met last Tuesday night at 12th Street Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association.
The meeting was the second held by the Committee. Several sub-Committees were formed, among them being the Publicity Committee: Mr. J. B. Bass, Mrs. C. A. Bass, Hon. Fred M. Roberts, Mr. David F. Taylor, Mr. Geo. A. Beavers, Jr., Mr. Lloyd Griffith. Committee on Arrangements: Mr. Elijah Cooper, Mr. W. R. Robinson, Mr. Coley W. Stafford, Mrs. C. F. Graves, Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, Mr. J. M. Edwards, Mr. Clarence R. Johnson, Mr. Frank A. Savington. Reception Committee: Mrs. A. Hill, Attorney E. C. Jennings, Mrs. Willa Mae Beavers, Mr. Norman Houston, Rev. I, Albert Moore, Mrs. Bessie Barton, Dr. Claude Hudson, Rev. K. E. Lightner, Mr. Benjamin Graham, Rev. N. P. Greggs, Rev. W. H. Rozier,
Decoration's Committee: Mrs. Julia Christian, Mr. Titus Alexander, Mrs. Nettie Reese, Miss Bessie Barron.
Program Committee; Attorney H. E. MacBeth, Mr. Curtis Mosby, Rev. L. G. Robinson.
Full details of the plans for the decorations of the snacious banquet hall of the Second Baptist church are being rounded out by the sub-committee handling the decorations; and everything points to the hall being a place of beauty, indeed, by the evening of April 16, 1930.
The remarkably low price of $1.00 per place for the the delicious sine quo non, that meal, is made possible only by the fact that the ladies of the Federated clubs are going to supervise the management of the dining room, and, we feel safe in saying that the matrons of the Southern Section know a few things about management.
The musical part of the banquet program is in charge of Mrs. Hazel Whitaker, wife of the honored guest; and from what the local public knows of her fourth Sunday musicals at the First A. M. E. Zion church, the guests may expect some rare treats from our finest musical talent. In this connection, it might be mentioned that the one regrettable feature of this affair is that the hall's seating capacity is only about 300.
While the speakers' program is not yet ready for publication, it was disclosed by the Committee that Mr. Whitaker's subject will be "My Thirty Days as a Deputy District Attorney."

Nationally known, stalwart men of brown! Educators those, you know them by the slight stiffness at the back of their necks, even before one points them out to you or before you recognize a face here and there, as they group themselves in friendly exchange.
The hush of a hot summer's day has settled over the place, the long armed shade trees offers its benefits to all in wordless language. Now and the an buzz-buzzing is waffled out of the window reminding one of the workshops within. Each one separately contributing that little bit that no one but himself could contribute. As a whole receiving unto themselves the inspiration to go on, to drink deeply at the Fountain of Knowledge. To go out into the world properly shielded, my heart burned with unquenchable desire as we turned our steps down the hill leaving historic Howard University on its pinnacle in truth and in spirit.
The Post Office at the Nations Capitol, the busiest post office in all the United States. A modern office is this, its white granite floors, deep columns and encasements give it a richness of aspect. Black men are there, assorting mail and filing, in great numbers.
I am crossing the square that separates the Capitol from the other governmental buildings. As I ascend the wide steps leading into the Capitol proper, my feet become feathery in lightness. My nerves tingle with excitement. Perhaps I am expecting to be presented to the president, maybe the whole of Courts has been anticipating my arrival, let me stop and powder my nose, dear me I must be presentable!
Through a glass window I see a louse of men, already covered for the moon-day meal for even Congressman cat, you know, and the nation has thoughtfully provided a dining room right in the Capital building, even on the mast floor, it might be embarrassing to a Congressman to eat in the basement.

BY CARL ECHOLS
I would know the origin and destiny
of the universe; of whence cometh
star-dust and whither goeth it.
I would perceive the border line that
divides TIME from SPACE; duration
from extinction. I would know HOW
the immature 'became animal;'
where the vegetable kingdom left off
and the animal began. Verily,
I would know the origin, essence, and
finale of life itself—but shall I ever
become so omnissient.
O, man, then whom God has made a little lower than the angels, how utterly insignificant, thou art when compared with the innumerable, and altogether, immeasurable works that dot the skies above. What is man that the Creator is so mindful of him? I would know the differences of races if there are any. Are there any Proud ma boasts of being Jew or Gentile, Greek or Barbarican, Nordic Mediterranean, or Alpine. But are of these terms mere scientific rationalizations? mere mental imagery? I would know. Even our genealogies would surely make us all ashamed as well as elsted. Trace our ancestors back far enough and we would find criminals as well as royalty entering our blood-stream to make us what we are. Someone has stated 'this truth in words as follows:
Finds many a mountain head.
Tides which we never know.
Into our being flow;
And stars from the remotest star
Converge to make us what we are."
Why is color. What makes red different from green? Is it due to mere play of words? Or, are the differences mental perceptions, mental conceptions? What is the ideology behind these words? I won't know.
Why is the fragrance of a rose different from that of the honeysuckle; or the sage-brush from the eucalyptus? Why is HARD? or SOFT? What is WEIGHT? no advanced student of physics knows? What is the difference between mind and matter? What causes the food we eat to turn into muscle and nerve tissue; hair and bone? To answer metabolism is not sufficient. What is the difference between wakefulness and slumber? Is wakefulness the dream state and dreamland the wakeful state, or vice versa? Does the thermometer or chemical action or vibration really explain the difference between HOT and COLD? WHY IS LIFE? What is growth? Where are we in space? Where is the center of the universe? Is there any such thing as UP and DOWN? Where does space begin and add? What is love? hate? What is morality? What is conscience? Who is God? Explain the difference between the infinitesimally LARGE and SMALL. What is gain? or pleasure? or happiness? WHAT IS ANYTHING?
All the above questions I should like to answer. But the chances are that I shall never be so Infinite in my wisdom. Nor is such omnificence necessary for my general happiness. After all, we may not the able to answer all the questionings of our Minds; but we can Feel at home in the universe, and strive for Unity with the Eternal Fountain head of all things. "What can she?" "Mane can she?"
That large additional water supplies and water storage facilities must be provided by the City of Los Angeles immediately in order to avert a serious water shortage is the declaration made in a joint statement issued by five members of the City Board of Water and Power Commissioners.
ИБРАТ
Jovial (fighting) Titus Alexander (the nick-name being politkal) is one of the best, and most devoted fishermen here abouts, but of all the tales he tells of battling with black bass and mountain brook trout in the High Sierra or tarpon, pike or muskallonge, in other fields, you ought to cox him to tell you about a fishing party at Medina Lake about 38 miles from San Antonio Texas, years ago. To use his own words:
"You see, long ago there was no law in Texas against dynamiting for fish, so a party of us decided to get a good hatch in a hurry from the lake which was check full of all fish, but for some reason were hard to catch. "We were going to break camp that day, so from a stone quarry a few miles away, we secured a couple of sticks of dynamite and fuse. Of course we were all a little ticklish about fooling with the stuff but one of the fellows who had done it before agreed to make the shots by throwing the sticks out into the lake after the defending cap and lure were at-
"But we reckoned without a big, irisky Gollie pup that we had in camp who loved to swim out and bring in sticks thrown in the water. So dad bob it if no sooner had the dynamic left my friend's hand than away went that pup into the water swimming like fury in the direction where the block chunk of destruction went whirling. It hit the water but did not explode and while we stood there speechless the dog snapped it up and came swimming back to us, standing on the shore.
Away we went leaping over rocks, like deer through brides and cactus, across gullies an through creeks, but the doggone pop who. I had reached shore thinking it was all in the play took right out behind us. I guess we covered several miles in several minutes with the pup gaining on us. Frantic with fear we began sutting for cover. I took out for a tall cottonwood tree, but the dog, with his deadly prize was right behind me, as he had singled me out to follow. I shinned up the tree as high as I could go and just then the thing happened we had expected every second. When the galloping animal had nearly reached the foot of the tree, with a deafening sound the dynamite exploded in his jaws.

COMMUNISM VERSUS AMERICANISM
Conunism is defined in one of our standard dictionaries as Common ownership of property; the abolition of private property, and state control of labor, religion, social relations, etc.
One does not have to be a genius to find out that such a method of procedure is not the one the United States needs. It would be diametrically opposed to the American spirit of progress, and would turn into a blind alley every avenue that leads to the greatness of this country.
Among the Communists in the U. S. A. are many of our labor agitators some who belong to this latter class are not really looking for work. They demand unreasonable conditions which cannot be met, and then play the 'dog in the manager' role in wishing to prevent from working people who want to work. It is chiefly in this class ones who are helping to encourage legislations to block Mexican immigration. They claim the Mexicans take jobs they ought to have, and accept a lower scale of wages. A little investigation will disclose the fact that the ar-

Philadelphia, Mar. 26.—(A.N.P.)—All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't stop Gregory, the tall, lanky center of Columbia University, last Tuesday night when he led his white team mates into a victory over the University of Pennsylvania, 29 to 23, that clinched the championship of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League.
Pought ferociously from the first blast of the whistle, Gregory dived, cut and pounced his way in and out and from under the Penn guards to lead his teammates in scoring with ten points, and directed the strategy in the offensive play.
The other teams in the league are Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Cornell.
In a some earlier in the season a riot ensued when Gregory was struck by a white player in the course of a game.
rangement with the Mexicans is not an unfair one and it is only because white labor wishes to dictate its own terms (very often exhorbitant) that many would be employees are out of work.
Chief among agencies here that employ Mexicans are the L. A Railway, the P. E. Railway, the U. P. Railway, and the Santa Fe System. The work of these companies must be done by somebody, and it goes without saying that said companies will see to it that their business is carried out protecting themselves at the same time.
It would be a good thing if there were a little less of free beds and free meals from Missions—Midnight and otherwise in town. Some of the beneficiaries would then be compelled to put a little more speed into their search for work.
It is said that a few members of our Race were arrested in connection with the Communists' demonstrations on the day when the latter were supposed to have their big celebration. It would be a good thing for the Negro to keep out of everything communistic. It is true his burdens are heavy now, but there is not much hope of lightening them by way of the Communistic route. The way of Industry, Thrift, Reliability, and Common Sense is a much better road.

KISSING A HAND

Over the picture of William Allen

challenging caption, "Kisses Hand of

Cohen Still Battling Against Injunction
New Orleans, La., Mair, 17—Wal.
In the Court, common law courts, was refused a writ in the Louisiana Supreme Court to have an injunction set aside by which he was forbidden from interfering with M. F. Dastagne, member of the Republican State Committee. In 1928 Dastagne secured a preliminary injunction before Judge William H. Brynes, which stopped Cohen from interfering with him exercising the duties of Republican State Central Committee. Cohen appealed to the State Circuit Court and Judge Brynes decision was upheld. Cohen then appealed to the Supreme Court which refused to grant writ sought by Cohen to set aside the injunction.

With a full chorum of splendid officers, together with a seasoul band of followers, they are striving at make the Pastor's Aid one of the biggest and best church auxiliaries in the city.
A financial drive for $100.00 to be raised in one month has been launched. Plans have been perfected and are now in operation and well on the way to reach the goal.
Very interesting and impressive services were held in the church auditorium on last-Sunday afternoon with Rev. T. T. Addison of Coffeyville, Kan. as special guest and speaker of the day. Rev. Addison selected for his text, "Thy Kingdom Come" from the 10th verse of the 6th Chapter of Matt. Using as his Subject, "The Kingdom of Christ" preaching a very excellent sermon. The congregation was small, yet everyone present was responsive and much uplifted.

Rev. Sims of Shreveport, La., the newly elected pastor of Calvary Bapt. Church is truly living up to reputation as one of the leading Soul Saving Preachers of this Country—The proof is:
That Rev. Sims has only been in our midst two months and our Pastor two weeks and he had added through Baptism more than 25 young men an women to the church and more than 50 by Christian experience.
The Rev. held a two weeks Revival Service with us before being called as Pastor and he has Baptized three Sundays straight, having Baptized six yesterday and has 4 more to Baptized next Sunday already, and to think most of them are Young Men and Women between the ages of 7 and 25.
If you are Right and Sent by God, you can save souls in Los Angeles.

Independent Church reported $118.25 as a complete campaign report. Independent was the last Church to enter the Contest having only four weeks in which to work. And much credit is due Miss Smith for her hard work. She reports two $25.00 donations, one from Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Clarlotte and one from the Usher Board of Independent Church. 8TH AND TOWNE WORKS HARD Mrs. Wm. Lefridge, captain of 8th and Towne Avenue Church, reported $144.23; this report is not complete for 8th and Towne. The little captain is working every day in the week as is her faithful helper, Miss I. Mash and neither of them was able with so much rain to get around to all of their lieutenants.

have him tell you the story how a white men let out his white salesmen replacing them by colored, thinking that in this act, he was catering to his Negro customers, when in return for this consideration, his colored clientile almost instantly fell off to almost half, and one colored lady freely told the white store owner how it all came about. Said she, "We did not like it when you changed from white to colored salesmen, the white ones gave us better service."

Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick Asked For Survey Among Colored People
Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, in her speeches at Ebenezer Baptist Church and the Michigan Avenue C. M. E. Church, Sunday, March 9th, speaking under the auspices of the
1930
Committee of Twenty-five, asked that a committee be called together so that a complete survey could be made of the conditions affecting the Negroes of the State of Illinois as to their economic and civic problems.
Mrs. McCormick said: "The men in public office today cannot toll just what is wrong among the different groups comprising the State of Illinois, or the United States because they are affecting the various groups. I believe that the organization of the Committee of Twenty-five is the first step towards the solving of this economic condition. I want to become a member of this committee and sit on its advisory board so that I might be able to ascertain the necessary information to help me and other public officers to pass legislation that will be instrumental in helping to solve your problems. I believe that this committee to make a complete survey of the conditions from a civic, economic and social standpoint, as they affect the colored people of this State; and that they should have an executive committee of which I would like to become a member also, so that the different legislators can receive direct information. I believe that your committee should be composed of some of your outstanding preachers, lawyers, doctors, and business men, and also some of your outstanding social workers among the women. I don't believe that this committee should be over loaded, but that it is the only way that I can really find out what is the real condition affecting the colored people. Whether I am elected to the United States Senate or not, I still wish to become a member of this committee, and to help you solve this problem, as I believe that I will be able to help you. I suggest that you add, outside of myself, to this committee your Honorable Congressman, Oscar DePriest, as he would be of great help to you." The Committee of Twenty-five was founded and organized by LeRoy M. Hardin of Mrs. McCormick's personal office staff, on Saturday evening, December 28th, 1929, by calling together twenty-five young men, including doctors, lawyers and business men as well as the heads of various organizations. In organizing this committee Mr. Har

Philadelphia, Pa., Mar. 17.—Fifty Negro leaders of play and recreation school conducted at Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, according to an announcement of the Playground and Recreation Association of America. The Association will conduct the school through its Bureau of Colored Work, which is under the direction of Ernest T. Attwell. The facilities at Fisk have been made possible through the courtesy of the university officials, with the direct co-operation of the president, Dr. Thomas E. Jones. The leadership trained in this course will be a real contribution to a wholesome play life for America's colored people, the Association believes. Though community facilities for the play of Negroes have been increasing rapidly during the past few years, there is still a sore need for more opportunities for outdoor recreation and normal social life among colored groups. Trained recreation leaders will help to solve the problem. With proper leadership, vacant lots, and halls can be turned into recreation centers where health and happiness reign. Without eladership, the most expensively equipped playground is apt to be a neighborhood nuisance.
One hundred sixty-nine cities were providing 379 playgrounds and recreation centers for colored citizens, according to the last national survey. Many of these centers have been organized during the past ten years with the aid and advice of the Bureau of Colored Work.
Actual problems faced by recreation workers will be considered at the school. Through lectures, discussion, and demonstrations, practical ways of meeting them will be presented. Practice in leading games and other recreation activities will constitute a large part of the work. The teachers will include national specialists, both colored and white, in music, dramatics, athletics, handcraft, playground management, and social recreation.
Colored men and women from all parts of the country who are interested in serving their race through more and better opportunities for recreation are invited to apply for admission to the school, which will be in session from July 7 to August 1. The number enrolled will be limited to fifty, chosen on the basis of their training and special qualifications for the work. Applicants should be, in general, between the ages of 25 and 35. No tuition fee will be charged. Applications should be sent to Ernest T. Attwell, Playground and Recreation Association of America, 315 Fourth avenue, New York City.
din made it plain to the men present that it wasn't being formed for political reasons. In his capacity as special secretary in Mrs. McCormick's office the economic conditions' confronting the Negro had been brought forcecally to his attention, and he felt that some step should be taken, through political channels or otherwise, to help remedy this situation. Rev. M. L. Breeding, D. D., pastor of the Michigan Avenue C. M. E. Church, is chairman of this committee.
After the Primaries, April 8, 1930, Mr. Hardin will extend invitations to some of our leading citizens, as requested by Mrs. McCormick, to take part in this committee.
Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Mar. 17. Dr. Alexander C. Davis has been appointed physician in charge of veneral disease control work in Macon County, Alabama. The work is conducted under the joint auspices of the Rosenwald Fund and the United States Public Health Service, and with the co-operation of Tuskegee Institute, and the state and county health departments. Dr. Davis is a graduate of the medical school of Howard University. He served his internship at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital here, 1928-29.

Randolph To Suggest Remedy for Unemployment
NEW YORK CITY, Mar. 16-By A.N.P.-In a two days unemployment conference which will be held March 30 and 31 in New York, trade union organization among Negroes will be advanced as one of the major solutions of unemployment, says A. Philip Randolph, President and General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.

WHAT GODFREY'S MAN-AGER SAID
NOW
COMES
THE THIRD AND
FINAL INSTALLMENT
ABOUT WHAT Godfrey's Manager, Jim Maugherty (baron of Bull) said about the hundreds of colored papers throughout the country of the same race as the big "in and out" heavy-wet hat who is making some bread and butter for him. And thereby hangs a tale.
You see as related before the giant play-boy is the Unpopularity Champion of the World so far as the west-Sin fans are concerned. Where they will follow Sammy Jackson, a new main venter to the arena, they will take Godrey's fights in his radio. This is because they remember how he joked with his huge fright almost as big as Carnera's in sorry fights against little men like Jake Kilrain, Jack Reper, Nell McBly and others. He should have knocked any of them out in a round.
With Penelope Uzcudun, he pulled off a ten round hugging match barely getting the decision; then at his last appearance he deliberately fouled Lon Tom Hawkins to keep from getting knocked out. Boy! boy! he was some scared looking rabbit that night (scare almost white shooting those powerful lefts and rights into his jaw and his fat midriff. A friend who was assisting Jim with arrangements for this battle asked "Yours Truly" to come down and give the Baron information on how to get in touch with the three colored papers here and just about what to say.
Here was this famous manager's words: "Personally I don't care anything about the colored papers, they are all a cheap Bunch and Don't mean a thing to me! However, I would like to have you help put this match over." But Yours Truly declined the honor, and when James the Baron opened his mail next morning he received a sizzling not letter that no doubt he will long remember.
The gist of the missive was this:
Mr. Daughtery: Dear Shr—You could not employ me at $50 per day to assist in your night arrangements after those disty, scandalous remarks you made about our papers. And this from you who thinks enough of a fighter to make money off his work but not enough of this face to even half-way respect it.

"Gig" Performers Have "Big Head" Says Andy Razaf
Printed and reprinted three years ago, first in the N. Y. Amsterdam News then the Baltimore Herald-Commonwealth, the Pittsburg Courier and other eastern papers, an article by Andy Rezaf on "bighead" in colored performers attracted country wide attention.
It was very timely then, an after filling all their stages with colored vaudville and musical shows the theatres were dropping them. Last year the same thing occurred in the movies, so although all-colored east production may be a thing of the past, while our sepia shaded Thespians are still getting occasional breaks this truthful, well written article of Andy's may come in handy as a lesson, insight and warmth. Performers seldom take warnings, but here here in the article:
"THE BIG READ
"There's a dreadful disease known in the theatrical world as the 'big head'.
"Like pyorrhea, four out of every five performers have it.
"Take an ignoramus out of a cotton field with a few dance steps and no brains and he is a perfect subject for this disease.
"Sneek him on the bill some amateur night and let him set 'a hand and the next day you can't give him a letter from home.
"The minute he signs his first contract providing he can write, he'll demand the best dressing room and his name out in electric light.
"After becoming a star" will he spend some of his money and spare time in polishine up mentally? Will he go to same capable instructor and improve his dance routine? We should say not!
"He feels 'too big' to take instructions from anyone, in fact, what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing.
"With his patent leather head and dressed like a fashion plate, he may impress you—until he opens his mouth.
"Mahv a girl with a Rolls Royce figure, a Pierce Arrow face and a flivver brain has allowed the 'big head' to ruin her career.
"A prima donna with a voice as thin as a veil will tell you she never associates with the chorus."
"Even a wardrobe mistress will stop speaking to 'ordinary' people and will tell her friends that she is on the staze.
Colored Athletes Win Honors in Track Meet
Champaign, Ill., Mar. 26—(A.N.P.)
—Colored athletes came through with flying colors in the thirteenth annual indoor track relay carnival, sponsored by the University of Illinois, Saturday, in which seven records, including a world's mark, were shattered, and more than 900 athletes, representing 85 universities, colleges, and high schools competed.
Second place in the 75-yard dash was earned by Eddie Tolan of the University of Michigan, who finished a step behind George Simpson, white, of Ohio State. Simpson got the jump on Tolan at the bark of the gun and was never headed, covering the 61-feet in: 02.5 seconds.
First place in the broad jump was won by Gordon of Iowa, with a leap
The Orsane Belt Arena in San Bernardino, Calif., has reopened and will show its first card next week when Milford Bermudan the battling Swede and Lenord Allen of Los Angeles do their stuff in the main event. The arena has been closed for a couple of months and during that time it has changed hands and opens with a new policy altogether.
Johnny Adamn was sought for the main event, but he wanted all of the purse and the raw owner couldn't see him for the dust.
SAL SICK
Baby Sal Soria at one time one of the beat featherweights in the country is just about through as far as the top rung of the listic ladder is concerned. Sal was ordered by the boxing commission to take an indemnite rest, because he was physically unfit. Young Peter Jackson knocked the Babe out in two short heats at Santa Ana the other week.
Sal is suffering a rupture and is too stubborn to have it operated on. Leabo his manager had a date all fixed up with a "Saw Bones" in San Bernardino for the little operation, when Sal backed down on him and would not go through with it.
Sal is losing money for himself and his manager, by not going through with his date with the Doc.
New Race Track History
Made Sunday
Where snortmen gather all are still excitedly discussing the races at Agus Callente last Sunday when Victorian, 5-year-old son of Whiskbroom II., won the first Agus Callente handicap—richest stake in the world for horses of all ages—before a crowd of 25,000.
A field of 14 started making the total stake $124,600. The race was worth $108,400 to the winner, including a $5000 rift to Jockey George Ellis, who rode Victorian, and a $5000 rift to Trainer T. J. Taylor.
Victorian, winner of the 1928 Preakness, won by two lengths, setting a new track record or 2:03 1.5.
The Carroldo stables' Alexander Pantaces was second, the Rancocer stable's Donnay third and W. C. & E. W. Richert's My Dandy was fourth.
Many journeyed from here down to witness it and many more stayed here waiting for reports and betting on the big event.
Mack House-Massey, Miller-Kennedy At Pasadena
Mack House who used to be the big drawing card at Morrie Cohan's Pandena Arena, is back where he gained his fame as we go to press.
Morrie Cohan's Pandena arena boasts a double main event. Don Kennedy and Hymle Miller will go on in the final six-rounder, with Mack House and Dewey Massey preceding them.
State Fires Six Boxers
Soramento, March 22—Suspension of six boxers was announced by J. M. Genshilea, secretary of the state athletic commission, here. Those are down were:
Leo Hernandas, Los Angeles, one month outlasting, Tommy Huffman.
It was a lucky break, and an "ill wind" blowing good for Young Peter Jackson that Zorrilla was unable to fight Kid Ponce in Fresno last week. For the boy who is proving such a credit to the name of the famous old contender for Sullivan's title, was signed to substitute for the Panamanian when Zorrilla's sore ear did not improve sufficiently to permit him.
The affair was a double main. Dynamite Jackson beat Dewey Massey, another locally famous colored heavy in his half and Young Peter whied the daylights out of his white opponent in his half of the top spot. The house was a sell-out.
Junior Sports Activities
BY ART HAMILTON
The tail end of the basketball season is being played off.
The "Y" Varsity 135 pound team is running around in the "Y" league.
The team took a jaunt to Whittler last Saturday and go to Long Beach this Saturday to take on the Beach boys. The Whittler team failed to show up and the boys took on a pick up team and ran up such a score I had to quit counting.
Incidentally, Handsome Johnny Kaufman had his good looking face scarred up by one of the Whittier bows and is now known as "Scarface" Al Kaufman, but Johnny is hill good looking nevertheless girls. **CHAMPIONSHIP GAME** It looks very much as if the "Galloping" Don Juans and the club of the best looking men in the city, namely the Redonics will play for the Championship of the "Y" League. Most of the other teams have dropped out either by forfeits or by too many besses. The Imperial's heavy favorite at the beginning of the League have fallen down completely and the high stepping Alphan, the team that gave the Kappas such a score have fallen out entirely by not appearing for the last three weeks.
It should, by rights, be some game. The Hedonics are fighting men and that night with the balcony filled with all the players weakness, sass, headaches and whatnots for the beat girl in the world. I know that those boys will be on the rare edge. Every one's name will be Joe and will they go? Try 'em once. The Joan!'s aren't so strong in the weaker sex department; but those boys just fight like the very devil from natural instinct. They go at the drop the 'hat. Watch next week's paper and see what Junior Sports Activities has to say about this game. The time; the place and the admission charge will be stated. Nuf sed about the Canaba sport. SWIMMING
The "Y" pool is plenty popular around about now in the afternoon, since this good old summer time weather has come upon us. And believe me that old water sure feels good around 2 P. M. in the afternoon, when things are burning up outside, come on downs and jump in.
The girls swimming classes are going strong although they have been without an instructor for the past two weeks, both Mr Brown and Mr. Hamilton being out of town on "Y" business. This Saturday again they will be without an instructor as Long Beach calls both of the coaches namel above out of town again.
TRACK—BLACK BOYS GOOD
Trunk reason is here in full bloom. And the black boys are doing more than their bit in making it the best
REMATCEATOLYMPICAUD.
For years that historic battle between contender Joe Rivers, and the then champion, Ad Wolgast, has been the subject of discussion whenever the reminiscences ran to sensational battles. For it happened that in the midst of a flurry of furious battling, both men hit, and get hit and both fell to the canvas completely out. Though his action was censured then and now, the referee pulled the champion up to his feet and awarded him the verdict.
But following the astounding finish a few weeks ago to a scheduled ten-round bout between Billy Townsend the blonde Canadian battler and Armand Santiago, the colored Cuban boy who has headlined so many famous battles in the East, the Wolgast-Rivers classic is surpassed and the Townsend-Santiago thriller has been the town topic.
ROBBED!
What made this the more sensational was that after dropping Billy twice in the sixth, while leaping in wolf-like for the "kill" as the northerner reeled to his feet, Armand caught a wild swing on the button from the punch drunk Townsend and the bell found them both put on their stools. Billy easily revived but Armand surged so severely out that all the "kings" heroes and all the king's men" could not being him back to life until long after this opponent had stood in the middle of the ring and had his hand raised when the bell called the next round.
It was such a surprising ending that the crowd could hardly believe their eyes and damored for a return matin. This would have been made at once but Armand hastened back to Cuba, where he signed up a life manager in the person of a Cuban belle for a bride.
Returning with her he was pounded off to Sopera's ranch by his manager, Frank Churchill, who believes in the "tall, uncut" for his brown flesh. And Townsend whose father, has given up his management is back under the wing of his former manager getting ready for their second sensational battle at the Olympic on April 1st.
It is no idle prediction to say that this will be sensational, also for another knockout of one or the other is a safe prediction. Armand swears he will turn the tables this time, but even if the fight goes ten rounds, both boys are so full of venom and determination both are such fast, rugged ring gladiators that the fens may well prepare to have their pulses racing to the sock of flying fists in such a ring duel as they have not witnessed since the first meeting of these two rivals.
Tuesday Night's Fight Results
Without a minute's training Ernie Owens substituted for Frankie Campbell against Marine Ray Spiker in the first, ten of the double main at the Olympic and knocked out his big opponent in the sixth round.
In the second ten Goldie Hess chased the galloping Eddie Thomas all the way catching up with him long chough to drop him for a seven count in the third. Hess got the well earned decision.
The tough yesteran Mike Hector who even Ace Tridging need to respect was given a pre-Christmas present of a decision over the great fighting school boy Sammy Jackson. Ice Marciente beat Johnny McDonald, and Mordie Kamscher won over Frankle Athletic.
ROBBED!
Colored fight fans did not have to say a word last Tuesday night when Sammy Jackson was robbed of at least a draw decision in his six-round battle with Mike Hector.
The fair sportmen-like white fans booed, cat-called and raised Cain in general at the rotten, prejudiced decision. No one bar the unfit Negrohating Steve Nyland would have ever been guilty or such a trick but such verdicts are traditional with Thim whenever a colored boy is fighting—Back in his kid days some colored boy must have given him a good licking so he tries to take it out on those unfortunate enough to come under his rotten judgment.
The Cuban, Jose Diaz, Neil Cisby, Jake Killrain, and many other fighters have felt the weight of his blessed word at times and all dread to box when he is the third man.
Sammy carried the fight to the touch Mike Hector all the way and really had sufficient shade to earn the nod. Using ancient London Prise ring trick, Mike tripped Sammy in the fourth but he was up and on Mike in a fasth.
It is supposed this is the only excuse the big scowling menace to colored hitters can have had. Some day some white fan is going to throw something harder than a program at Prother Nyland and here's hoping it doesn't miss him.
