MASS MEETING AT SECOND BAPT. CHURCH SUNDAY AFTERNOON BREAKS RECORD 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 VOLUME 42 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1930 Grand Jury Quiz Aldermen Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise, be thankful unto him and bless his name—Psalms 100:4. WE THINK A GREAT DEAL about what we eat but little or nothing about how we feed our minds. The world is growing more scientific daily with regard to tissue building foods that we take into our systems and it should. This world with the beautiful flowers upon its breast, sparkling streams coming up from the earth, green and brown capped mountains, sloping hills and rolling valleys furnish a fit place in which to live—then why should we hasten away? Heaven is more beautiful and restful, they say, but who knows, not even Bunyan has come back this way. We will soliloquize that only those who are able to see and truly appreciate the beauty of this earth will be able to enter into His courts with thanksgiving. THE REV. BOB SHULER, over his wave length this week, asked for the resignation of Sheriff Trcager. Says Mr. Shuler, "Bill Treager is a good fellow but drink has robbed him not so much of his good name but of his good sense." Mr. Shuler recommended Mr. Wright for Mr. Treager's place, saying that he knew Wright in Oklahoma and could testify to his efficiency and goodness as a public servant; but we are wondering if any good thing can come out of Oklahoma. UNSCRUPULOUS white politicians who hobbom with some of our best men and women from time to time as wolves in lamb's clothing so soon as they are discovered shall be properly reckoned with by the black voters of Los Angeles who are organizing to clean out all political pirates, whether they be black or white. We are determined as never before to occupy a clean political house. PERHAPS the most progressive step ever taken by black women of Los Angeles is the preparation for a monster mass meeting to be held at the Second Baptist church, Sunday afternoon, April 13 at 3 p.m., at which time every Afro-American woman who by her study and application to business has sensed the backward trend of black people, not only in Los Angeles, but in the country at large, as to their economic status. These women are planning to come out and not only lift their voices in one great wall against this growing condition, but will make a program for general awakening along this line by which they hope to arouse the conscience of their fellow creatures as to what the future will bring forth for our coming generation unless we act quickly in behalf of our economic liberation. TRULY WE ARE ANXIOUS to fill the chasms of hate that separates black and white Americans, socially politically and religiously with a spirit of love and good fellowship; but we realize that this breach of long standing cannot be wholly mended through the mediums of religion or politices each or together; but that these coupled with the colored man's determination to become an economic part of the world's great industrial fabric will insure him his proper place in world affairs—political, social and economic. So the great proposition before us at this time as proper support of such fundamentally, established institutions as the Golden State Insurance Company, Liberty Building and Loan Association, Pyramid Grocery Company, Unity Finance, et al. THE MASS MEETING held at the Second Baptist church last Sunday afternoon was without question one of the greatest demonstrations as to what colored Los Angeles might bring to pass if properly and harmoniously united. As a result of this meeting, a new political map was drawn upon which the Negro no longer occupies the dollar mark position but becomes a flesh and blood component part of the political situation in this city and state. The general who led the army of women to success in this case was none other than the little West Side matron Mrs. Bettie Hill. AND THE PRESS to date too modest to toot its own horn has not as yet been able to find its place as the most important-factor in the building (Please Turn To Page Eleven) Dr. Pickens Holds Large Audience Spellbound In Wyoming WILLIAM PICKENS Eminent Educator Through Wit and Wisdom Points way out of Many Difficulties. The meeting at the A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening was a proud event for Reverend W. C. Sample, his board of trustees and his congregation. It was the closing feature of the visit to this city of Dr. William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. Dr. Pickens takes rank with the late Booker T. Washington and Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee University, as one of the greatest leaders the colored race has produced. Earlier in the day Dr. Pickens had electified the Cheyenne Ministerial Association and guests with his eloquent and sane presentation of the relationship between the white and colored races in the United States. The meeting Wednesday night was a fitting climax to the hearty welcome the distinguished visitor had been accorded by the people of Cheyenne. The service was in charge of Rev. Sample and the musical numbers by the women of the church and the male quartette were unusually fine. Gov. Franck C. Emerson, in a most happy vein welcomed Dr. Pickens to the state, while William C. Dening, president of the Tribune Publishing Company, was requested to substitute for Mayor Holliday, who was unavoidably absent, in extending a welcome in behalf of the citizens of Cheyenne. Dr. Pickens has a mind that runs the entire gamut of wit and wisdom. He delineated the improvement from decade to decade of the colored race, and showed plainly that their race and advancement is in direct proportion to the culture, education and integrity of the white people with whom they come in contact in a given community. Dr. Pickens occupied a prominent place in "Who's Who is America" and the Negro as the weakest of the two, under the rule of the survival of the fittest must know the stronger race, better than the whites know the Negroes, in the opinion of Pickens, as his entire life is backgrounded on the amusements, professions, etc., of the stronger race. What knowledge, he mentioned by paradox the whites do obtain haphazardly of the blacks is naturally isolated, cases of the blacks at their weakest, a knowledge, which, Pickens takes the stand of his Association is unjust.

Bass had been selected as the speaker of the evening, she received the undivided attention of her hearers and received thunderous applause.

MANNING, DEFENDER OF RACE RIGHTS REMOVED TO A HOSPITAL New York City—March 31—Hon. Joseph C. Manning, former republican leader and legislator of Alabama was removed from his late residence, 516 Manhattan Avenue to the House of Cavalry Hospital, in New York City by order of his physician who despairs of his recovery from that deadly malady cancer of the throat. Fronf 1892 to 1908 this champion of human liberty, statesman, journalist an republican leader laid before the United States Government evidences which lead to the conviction of many farmers dealing in peonage. THE APPEAL Race newspapers are asked to make an appeal on behalf of this heroic and fearless leader who through populist and republican fusion overthrew the democratic oligarchy in Alabama during those turbulent days in 1892-1896, and whose oratory and journalistic ability since has exposed ballot box frauds, Klu Klux Klan methods and disfranchisement. Now critically ill and reduced to penury, this champion of our group in the south ask that those for whom he suffered, assist in making his last comfortable by buying his two books "Fadeout of Populism" an astounding revelation which reveals why the race lost its political rights in the south; and "From Five to Twenty-Five," a short biography of his life, both for one price $1.10 including postage from Arthur J. Gray, 4103 Vincennes, Avenues, Chicago, Illinois. O God of our fathers, Be with us yet, Lest we forget, Lest we forget, Verdict of the Lower Court Revised NEW YORK, N. Y. March 31 (E. N.S.) There is a great deal of jublation among the followers of Marcus Garvey, founder and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (August 1929) of the World. This rejoicing is caused by the receipt of information from Kingston, Jamacia, British West, Indies, announcing that the Appeal Court had reversed the verdict of the lower court on February 21 which had imposed a sentence of six months, without hard labor on their leader Marcus Garvey, for Seditious Libel, for the publication of certain articles in his daily newspaper "The Blackman," regarding the action taken by some officials of the government, during the recent election campaign in that island. His editor a Mr. Aikman, was also sentenced, along with his chief, to three months imprisonment in the St. Catherine District Prison without hard labor. The case against the foreman, a Mr. Beecher was dismissed. A representative of this agency secured a copy of the cable which follows: Garvey leaders here assert that the founder of the "back to Africa" movement is now more than ever to be reckoned with as one of the greatest if not the greatest of modern organizers. Congratulatory calles have been sent from many of the branches and divisions of the U. N. I. A in and near New York; and their liberty, hall are busy with members and well-wishers exchanging pleasanties. 10 MR. JOHN N. DAVIS With the co-operation due them, Messrs. John N.

Tuesday evening, April 8th—8th and Towne—Admission only 35 cta Children 15 cents—Elmer C. Bartlett musical director—Rev. Jno. B. Isaacs, Pastor GRAND JURY QUIZZES CHICA- GO ALDERMEN. Chicago, Apr. 2 (By The Associated Negro Press) Two Chicago Aldermen Louis B. Anderson of the Second Ward, and R. R. Jackson of the Third, together with a half dozen City officials, including Loron D. Gayton, City Engineer, Joseph J. Butler, actin Superintendent of streets, Geo. E. McGriff Superintendent of Sewers, P. G. Nilles, Superintendent of Garages and shops, were called before the Grand Jury Friday. The State's Attorney's office in calling those officials, stated that it is investigating charges that trucking contracts have been bar- tered for cash or political favors. Some interesting facts were developed which political observers say have an important bearing upon the ability of certain elective officials to succeed themselves in the council year after year. In the third ward, Alderman R. R. Jackson's district, it was shown that five of the teams hired to remove garbage and trash in the ward belonged to James M. Flanigan, 4233 South Dearborn Street, a Democratic precinct captain, 27.50 per day is the price paid trucks for certain types of city work. The implication behind this favor is said to be that no matter how much of a right is made on the alderman in his own party, he gets elected, because he has the Democratic support tucked away in his pocket. Of course, Republican supporters of the Alderman might, if they know it, feel that this patronage ought to belong to them. Alderman Anderson was not served with the supeona and is to appear later. Alderman Anderson, almost the dean of the council, and recoganized as one of its cleverest members, is said to have developed a masterly bi-partisan arrangement which for years has given him Democratic support and proven proof against the onslaughts of antagonists who have opposed him at the polls. Evidently, the same condition exists in other wards, but for some reason, the investigating officers usually start digging in the black belt." Further evidence is to be taken Monday. PICO HGTS.

Page-Ten — DAISY BOONE one of the chorines, in the musical comedy offering at the Lincoln Theatre. Thunderous applause from the 90 per cent white audience greeted Bill Robinson the "Dark Cloud of Joy" when he made his initial appearance at the R. K. O. Theater last week. With long advance publicity he has been billed as feature act of the variety show at his picture and vaudeville house. His famous stair climbing act has had a few new thrills added and his wonderful tap dancing is better then ever. All voice the opinion that his work has never been successfully imitated. On the same bill were the Six Belfords, jugglers "Oh Henry" musical comedy, and other white acts, Bill will take his already signed part in the new feature film "Dixiana" at R. K. O. Studios. Playground Department Issues Don't To Swimmers Already on these warm Summer days the beaches are crowded with bathers and citizens of all nationalities may use the public beaches Of course as is natural with all races to seek the championship of their own the majority of colored surf bathers go t o Santa Monica at the foot of Pico street. Here is a list of don'ts from the Playground Department that it would be well to slip out and take along when going for a dip. 1. DON'T over-estimate your swimming ability, especially at the beginning of the season when the swimmer is not in training. Over-enthusiasm is often fatal. 2. DON'T bathe immediately after eating; cramps frequently result. 3. DON'T bathe in remote places, but always stay near where a life-guard is stationed, for your protection. 4. DON'T make long distance swims alone; always swim accompanied by a strong swimmer. 5. DON'T use inflated rubber play apparatus, such as tires, tubes and water wings, in the surf; you may be carried out to sea on them and be unable to return. 6. DON'T call for help unless actually in trouble, as you may call sometime when you do need a lifeguard and not be noticed; always call for help when you need it, and don't be timid about asking for assistance. 7. DON'T swim near piers or pilings, as they cause strong currents and have sharp cutting surfaces. 8. DON'T take "dares" in the ocean. 9. DON'T go to the assistance of a lifeguard until he calls for help, as he can handle the situation, and he may have to help you. 10. DON'T dive into unknown water, but always expire thoroughly before running nito the surf. When in doubt ask the lifeguard, as he is paid to know. 11. DON'T lie in the sun and try to acquire a quick tan; it will always result in painful sunburn. Don't sleep in the sun, as you may over-sleep and wake up a cinder. SONNEBERG DEMANDED WIN- NER THROW SOMEBODY Champion Gus Sonnenberg, wired Promoter Lou Daro that he would meet the winner of the Mek Lutze-Everett Marshall battle, scheduled for the Olympic Wednesday night, as soon as the winner of that bout met and defeated Ed Lewis, Joe Stecher or Marin Plesina.

But talent like this pretty little singer has cannot remain hidden. The world has a right to know her and will. EVELYN KENNEDY—Is our hidden talent exhibit this issue. She revealed in one week when substituting for a Lafayette player that she has great dramatic ability. Evelyn is an excellent, violin player also. PEGGY WHITE—Has two rooms at her house with the walls covered with autographed pictures of actress and actors. Clara Bow Evelyn Brent, and many, many others are among her friends.

For awhile it looked as if the 28th Street boys were coming home on the short end of the score, but they finally pulled through with a 31 to 28 score, kind of title. No! Handsome "Scarface" Johnny Kauffman demon forward of the 135s was absent. Saturday, because of business and the team missed him nad no less. Johnny says he will be with us this Saturday.

TRACK GOING STRONG Louie Carmicheal is still burning them up in the sprints, the dusky Jefferson Ace is a sure shot against anybody in the city league to take the century and the 440. It is seldom indeed that Rambling Louie takes low in these two events. Carmicheal will be eligible for the City, but when the All Southern rolls around Louie's will just have passed his 21st birthday and therefore will be counted out. Being a man around about that time, is keeping the sprint king from probably setting a record, because when he is up against the best in the South land he is faster than fast. COURTNEY AND NICKERSON GREAT L. Courtney and Earl Nickerson of Riis High are the hot shots in the SHE'S HERE-TEDDYE PETERS AT THE APEX Three years ago Western Nite Club and theatrical patrons began to wish that Teddye Peters the sensation of New York would come west.

Taken all in all with that wonderful dancing chorus of girls and boys the Isle of Zigaboo is a musical comedy long to be remembered. Gala Opening of Trvoli Theatre's New Sound System After keeping a crew of workmen busy hurrying day and night the Tivoli Theatre is ready a day ahead of time with its new $12,500.00 Western Electric sound equipment closing for one day this Friday, April 4, it re-openes Saturday, April 5th. Sincing talking pictures first became a reality great scientists have been experimenting on the best means to convey the music sounds and conversation in the most realistic manner to the human ear. The Western Electric System though the most expensive has proven to be the best, so with the pleasure of its patrons ever in mind the management of the Tivoli Theatre decided to install this regardless of cost. Now though the former sound equipment left little to be desired the Tivoli has the same system as that used by the largest Hollywood and down town theatres. Pictures made in this manner have perfect alignment of sound-strip and picture film and only the clearest most perfect tones come to the audience. To avoid all possibility of any fixture or fixtures spoiling the acoustics, Mr. M. A. Ellsworth has carefully gone all over the house with motion picture studio experts and by inserting 'padding here drapery there or a rearrangement elsewhere has prepared it perfectly also. MORE LODGES TO ACCOMO-DATE The increasing crowds a glass panel has been taken out and 34 extra lodges added. (The Tivoli is famous for its deep comfortable lodge seats). This Saturday night as usual jolly Mammy Nathan, will conduct his country store as usual giving away big bags of groceries. Also, there will be singing and dancing contests for cash prizes. ONESPEEDY,SPONTANEOUS,SPORADIC SPASM OF JOY IS "IN BANDANA LAND" TIVOLI THEATRE 42ND & CENTRAL AVE The Bardin Theatre's lotty, glistening done, resounded to more real merriment and whole souled laughter than has been heard there for many moons, this past week when Willie Covan presented his second miniature musical comedy, "In Bandana Land." The book was another from the endless supply of hits written by New York's own Barrington Cooper, those unique, comical or whirlwind dances by Willie Covan and the music, "Ah the music" as Poe would say, was from that wonderful aggregation of melody makers under the direction of Sonny Clay. "The Bandana Medley" as the opening was called brought the whole company into line with the good-looking chorus girls and boys skipping through many intricate figures of the dance. The man from the South gave Edna Cunningham and girls an opportunity to show some novel steps and enmy melody. The old man dance by the four Covans was comedy supreme, Willie and wife, John Jackson and Cleo Thompson of the wonder team going through the bizarre antics of old men and women with their canes in a manner that brought down the house. Flora Washington added greatly to the fame she has already gained in pictures at leading nite clubs and on a recent trip to Australia. Her number was "Dusky Stevedore." Tessie Mae Harris has a personality suitable to songs like "Cryin' For My Carolines" and adding into a bit of dialogue she almost had the whole house cryin' as her plaintive melody brought back thoughts of some old home town in Dixie. Claude Collins could sing the Rogue song or any famous other movie theme song that calls for a color tone of sentiment. He sang "I Can't Keep You Out of My Dreams" with a feeling that would ndanger John Gilbert's reputation for impassioned love pleadings. That so different Stompy or Stomp an Sell it as he calls himself with Lasses Brown, Cleo Thompson and Florence Covan, put over a laugh provoking sketch called "Yellow Gal and Brownskin Gal." An old fashioned cake walk as the finale was a rousing end to comedy filled night of entertainment. Ed Tolliver was great as Uncle Zeb and Stovall better known as Lasses Brown had but to walk in any time and the giggling would start. Others in this wonderful show are Edith Crain, George Davis, Willie Wood, Barrington Cooper, and that popular troupe of chorus boys, Chester Johnson, Eddie Redman, George Davis, Willie Wood and Nat Taylor. Sonny Clay's orchestra has for a long time been the trade mark for music in Los Angeles. A few years ago the weekly and daily papers were full of unsolicited articles on the greatness of Sonny's organization and no dance was considered complete unless it was fortunate enough to secure his band to deliver the toe tanzalizing tunes. Through the East also his fame spread and although there has been some changes made in the personnel the suality of their performance is the same. Sonny is taking the greatest of pains with the arrangement and scores of the many difficult numbers used in the Lincoln revues, and is always busily engaged preparing the music that has made "Bandana Land" and "Lucky Days" such a Hit."

Mack House Knocks Out Massey in Round Following a time schedule that made him the most talked of heavyweight in the west, two years ago, Mack House, the "California Bear," caught Dewey Massey on the chin with his "mammy song" right in the first round and that was all. The battle was held last Thursday at Morris Cohn's Pasadena Arena and was Mack's first appearance at any arena for some months.

Substantiating this statement Mr. Robinson added: "And from a commercial standpoint, every one will have equal rights so long as their matter is clean, wholesome, and non-obstructive to the Negro Race." These gentlemen are offering the Colored people of Los Angeles and Southern California, an opportunity to advance their cause and champion their own interests. It is a project in which everyone regardless of Race, will have an interest; but it is fundamentally dedicated to the Negro's cause. And no man with a sense of proportion, however slight, can fail to visualize the investible benefits thereof. We have every reason to believe that Davis and Robinson are ambitious, energetic, capable, trustworthy men, and that they have a host of friends. It is easily within their power to conduct a station in the heart of the Nero population which will afford us an opportunity to assume our rightful place in this community and State. And if the Federal Radio Commission will grant their request for a permit, these young men will establish in Los Angeles, the First Radio Broadcasting Station ever owned and operated by Negroes in America.

No question—brother when those women came forward with an organized front on last Sunday consternation reigned supreme and the grafters, political crooks took to the tall timbers and along with them, the evil-designing white political boss, began a whispering campaign to discredit the effort. But the die has been cast and the sign, "Nothing Doing" is hung out to the breezes.

PICKENS HOLDS LARGE AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND IN WYOMING (Continued from Page One) The Association which Pickens represents has had the support of some of the greatest minds of America's history, both among whites and blacks, since it was founded, a support which in the case of certain southern governors, Pickens admitted, meant their virtual political undoing. It was founded 21 years ago, and while not directly connected by a period of many years was organized to take up the work of the anti-slavery league of pre-civil war times where the latter left off. "The Negro faces three elements in the white race," Pickens pointed out Wednesday; "First, there is his avowed enemy, very much in the minority; then there vast division which knows nothing, of him, whose prejudices are swayed by occasional reports of Negro crimes both real and alleged, who bases his entire knowledge of the Negro on those reports without troubling Womens' Republican Study Club Forging Ahead (Continued From Page One) A MRS. BETTIE HILL and climaxed months of work by Mrs Betty Hill, Mrs. Werner and Dr. Gibson, organizers. The Mass Meeting was viewed by political observers as a demonstration that will contribute much impetus to the gubernatorial campaign of Buron Fitts; Particularly striking were the endorsements given Fitts by Dr. Gibson and Mrs. Werner. In speaking of the district attorney's candidacy Mrs. Werner declared: "Without appealing to sectionalism I feel that I can advocate the nomination and election of Mr. Fitts as governor. Only once in the past 28 years has the chief executive of this state came from the south. In national affairs this stat's representatives are largely from the north. The North has the hon.'s share of representation in state government. "Now the south has produced a candidate whom I believe is the outstanding aspirant to the governorship. We can judge a public official only by his past performances, and not even the opponents of Buron-Fitts can say that he has betrayed the confidence imposed in him by the people, when they elected him Lieutenant Governor of this state and later district attorney of Los Angeles County. "His election as governor will not only equalize the representation between the north and the south, but it will give-us a chief executive possessor of the determination, ability and qualifications necessary to administer himself to carry the study further. On account of his attitude, the last element is potentially a friend or an enemy depending on the nature of his reports about the Negro.

It is indeed both a pleasure and an honor to be one with the distinguished guests of this occasion. Mrs. Hill has been complimentary in her introduction. If the idea that I have advanced has been or will be of any benefit to this group of worthy women then I am proud to be called the "Mother." To Mrs. Hill is the credit due for this splendid gathering this afternoon she is one of the most ardent workers that it has ever been my pleasure to known. I suppose you would like to know something of the reason for this club being organized and what is its purpose. Since coming among this group of women and endeavoring to make myself one with them and to learnd their heart I have tried to analyze the many unpleasant conditions with which they are confronted every day of their lives.

It seemed that at every turn there was some obstacle which could not be overcome but I was not discouraged, I said I will find a way. During the campaign when E. P. Werner was in the field for city attorney I met his most estimiable wife, seeing her attitude toward the colored people I decided to tell her my heart story which was this—that some club or some organization be formed whereby colored women could meet on the common ground of citizenship and sisterhood with the white women on a platform of equality. I made an engagement with Mrs. Werner found her both interested and interesting. She said well doctor I think this can only be done through politics on the basis of citizenship. I said I am not a politician but if that is the way then let the way be made plain. I will do all I can. (To Be Continued In Next Issue) (Continued From Page Eight) CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 5—Yes.

It will therefore be his highest aim to give to the colored people the most up-to-date hotel in the West. Mr. Edmonds has had many years experience in catering to the public and will welcome his many friends and travelers to this hotel. The place will be thoroughly renovated and a number of its suites and rooms are to be redecorated.

I just finished reading in the Eagle that Mr. Leon Whitaker, Deputy District Attorney, finds his time so pressed that he must fly up to Oakland to keep a speaking engagement, and-of all things he has picked the 13th to take the air trip. A man with that kind of nerve ought to go far in the world. The paper also states that Attorney Hugh Macbeth will speak briefly, delivering an address of appreciation to the women. Whoever heard of an attorney speaking briefly? That's impossible. What! to women? Never! And Mr. Curtis Mosby will head the business men's club. According to the long list of entprises that he is head of, they should make him president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. MR. O. W. SNODDY LEAVES The Los Angeles District was covered with a blanket of sadness last week, when it was authentically learned that Mr. O, W. Snowdoy, District Superintendent had departed from his many friends and well wishes that he has made during the short time he has had charge of affairs since leaving San Francisco. However, the Pullman family of Los Angeles have one thought left to console them hearing Mr. Snowdoy's absence, and that is that he is simply gone for a short vacation to the land of aligators, crocodiles and oranges, and will return to his many admirers as soon as he gets rested up from a hard winter's work. When informed of the hasty departure of Mr. Snoddy, the following porters broke down and cried: H. E. Washington, Otto Johnson, J. W. Perman, W. B. Holland, H. A. J. Prescott, C. Crouch, J. Bell, H. Knight, Joe Holmes, J. Bell, Jr., Joe Lee, F. Jasper, Bill Coleman, E. Rodgers, C. A. Glover and a host of others who were so close to him that they had suddenly looked down right pitiful; the platoon men could be seen going about their various duties with a dejected look upon their faces and yard employees looked down right pitiful; why the office cat even tucked his tail between his lengs as he slowly ambled across the floor looking for a stray mouse or two. Those who were assigned in the yards to get his compartment in readiness, worked all night without any sleep in order that there might not be any injury slightly as a result of marrying his wife in which Mr. Snoddy left, clapped his hands for joy, when informed he would have as a passenger. He sure got a lucky break. Mr. Wills inhaled his first cigarette without expecting to swallow it any minute, for the first time in months. Porters were at a loss who to tell their troubles to in the event that they got "written up." It was a sad occasion, but every dark cloud has its silvery lining, our idol shall be not far distant, refreshed in body, that is sharper than any man he has heretofore used; with an eye that is keen as a sharpshooter of the regular army, and we shall all rejoice and call, "All the Hail the conquerer" as he saliys forth beheading Pulman Porters who have been so weak as to forget during his absences THAT HE IS KING! Private air porters, from all over the Santa Fe System were gathered together at San Diego last week, when the Santa Fe Railway held a mammoth loot and damage meeting in Coronado. Heading the list of private car experts was Mr. R. S. Sims from Topeka, Kansas, forty years in the service, and master of culinary art on the palatial private car of Mr. Storey, president of the 'Santa Fe Railroad. Mr. Sims and as his Walter, Adolph Hubbard, who excels in his profession as a service man De Luxe. They had full charge of car No. 13, came Mr. W. H. Wenburn, chef and A. D. Browning, who the general manager, No. 28. Mr. Rowan needs introduction as a master of profession. He has long been considered the dean of private car chefs in this part of the country for many years. Mr. Browning, his waiter, must be good or the wouldn't last long on the general manager's car. On the assistant general manager's car No. 12 at Atticaon, Kansas, were Chas W. French, chef; Orlando Atkinson waiter. On No. 9, assistant general manager, Alberta Pouce, chef; Carl Fline, waiter. On No. 17, the vice-president of transportation, located in Kansas, were Bennett, chef; Elvie, Barton, chef; conservation, Matheson Green, chef; Fred Newman, waiter From Galveston, Texas, No. 19, is a general manager, Peter Cannal chef. Fratton was the waiter, and on car No. 428, superintendent, was chef in Charge L. A. Anderson, Los Angeles. From La Junta, Colo. car No. 5, assistant general manager, Howard Berry chef, John W.

B. A. also, as the Prudential insurance costs the average porter $2.00 a month, and on the quarter the P. P. B. A., fee of $7.00 was deducted; it meant that $9.00 would be taken out of your check. They either had to drop one or the other, and the biggest majority of the porter dropped the P. P. B. A. because the best benefit associations that a Pullman Porter could belong to, paying a thousand dollars for natural death without any medical examination, and a sick benefit of $10 a week. Mr. R. J. Murray, the present chairman of Local No. 1 is an able leader in P. P. B. A., affords and deserves a lot of credit for holding the local together in this District. The membership of the P. P. B. A. could be greatly increased throughout the country if the officials in Chicago would find some way to pay their sick benefits more quickly. For instance a plan could be worked out that would enable the employer to pay for the immediate payment of sick claims. This at least $200.00 on deposit at each could be paid by the Pullman cashier on presentation of claim properly signed by the local sick committee. When a man gets sick, he does not want to wait until he is back to work before he gets his money. He NEEDS HIS MONEY WHILE HE IS SICK, and HE WANTS HIS MONEY WHILE HE IS SICK. As it stands at present he is obliged to wait until the office in Chicago goes over his claim which in many instances takes from 10 to 15 days when a person stops to pay that there are still unpaid insurance, the field today, and most part of them are exceptionally keen for business, they pay you from the first day that you get sick, and at the end of each week without any three-day clause whatever. All of these facts are worthy of deepest consideration from the heads of the P. P. B. A. And they must be given their earnest thought if the P. P. B. A. is to continue in its field of activity. These are merely suggestions from the writer and may be what you error. However the writer will welcome an article from the office of our Mr. R. J. Murray, on the P. P. B. A. who will gladly publish. Many members of the Local find it impossible to attend the various meetings, and the writer is sure that those who do would welcome a report on the matter through these columns. This a railroad column and the writer is only too glad to cooperate with the various heads of the different committees on matters pertaining to railroad men. Send your news in to be published. It is not impossible for the writer to contact everyone. If it were, U. S. would not manufacture any postage stamps. H. W. WEEKS ARRIVES IN OAKLAND— Porter H. W. Weeks, better known as a victim of circumstances, after many attempts to get to the City of Oakland, was reported in that city last week, and planning to get an interview with Mr. Armstrong, superintendent of the Pullman company in San Francisco and Oakland. It has long been the contention of Mr. H. W. Weeks that although his services were not desired by the superintendent in Los Angeles, he could go to work for Mr. Armstrong in the Northern City. In fact it has been so stated that Mr. O. W. Snoddy, superintendent of Los Angeles told Mr. Weeks if he could get work in Northern District, he would do anything to Alnder him. Evidently Weeks has a great amount of confidence in his ability to get to work in Frisco, for he is at this writing in that city. We wish him all the luck in the world. Sometimes a change in cities will do a world of good in molding the character of a man. PUT HIM IN WORK MR. ARMSTRONG-DON'T KICK A MAN WHILE HE'D DOWN "Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, for sake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity; for better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off."—Proverbs of Solomon. cated in Amcella, Texas. While all of these private car men were held in San Diego for over four days, they made good of the time by holding a convention of their own, and many new ideas in service or private cars were threshed out and adopted. In this manner the lost and damage meeting served for more than one purpose. These meetings are held once a year and since the private car men their opinions change less about different features of the service. It keeps them always up-to-date, and advised of the latest, as well as enables them to keep a uniform private car service as near as can be established with the budget of their particular car. S. OLLIISON AND S. O. THOMPSON WITH SPECIAL PART O. Ollison and S. O. Thompson left Los Angeles last week on the Gold Coast Limited for Chicago. They had a Raymond Whitcomb party. J. CARTER EXPECTED HOME THIS WEEK AFTER SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION For the past three weeks you have been reading in the Railroad Clatter about J. Carter, No. I, who left Los Angeles in a very critical condition to have an operation performed on his throat in the Government Hospital located in San Diego. The writer is pleased to inform his readers that Mr. Carter went through such preparations to come home to his family where he will take it easy until the latter part of May before going to work. Mr. Carter asked me to thank all of his friends and well wishers who have been pulling for him to win his great battle of life. PULLMAN, MAIOS, GIVEN PRIVI LEETS ON HLTER, TRAINS LEETS ON HLTER, TRAINS At last the Pullman Maids are to be given a break on the Limited trains in the form of advertising. An order has been issued whereby the maids will be permitted to pass the pamphlets heretofore distributed by the barber. By so doing it will enable the maids to come in personal touch with protective customers for manicures, and hair work. This feature of the service has long been a bone of contention between the maids and the barbers. The maids claiming that the only way in which they could let passengers know that they did such work was by passing out pamphlets. Many times passengers have made the maid the subject that they did not know the maid did this work, when the manicured carried a barber. Maids were formerly permitted to put a table in a vacant section, and in this manner the table would remind the passengers that she did manicuring, but this privilege was later denied them, and they had no other method of making the fact known to prospective clients. It worked quite a hardship on them during the time the order was in effect. H. E. WASHINGTON HANDLES A. G. SPAULDING PARTY— H. E. Washington, the much mis-treated Pullman Porter, was all smiles last week when the writer met him. When asked the reason for all his mirth, he replied that he was just returning from a very successful trip to El Portal with M. A. G. Spalding and partly. Big Betra says if the extra board continual to give him this kind of a brace, the hopes they keep him on it for a long time. WAITERS TAKEN IN RAID ON CLUB— Apparently it means a fine for a man to play a little quiet game of whist new days according to a report from my most able assistant, Mr. E. L. Arnaud. One red cap and Willie Lawson, a waiter on the Union Pacific, were arrested in a raid conducted by the Hon. Mr. John Law on the Porters' and Walters' club between Fifth and Central. It seems as though there were nine all told, three of which wera white, and evidently undercover men as they left the club but returned shortly before the raid was made. R. L. WILLIAMS HOLDS P. P. B. A. MEETING— Mr. R. L. Williams of Oakland, Cal., a director of the P. P. B. A., of A., held a meeting in the Southern Pacific yards last week for the purpose of building up the membership of this association. According to the importance of the meeting the attendance was poor. Apparently the porters are losing interest in the order. They, however, missed some very good work from Mr. Williams in regards to the local activities, the porters who were former members of the P. P. B. A., have dropped out on account of the group insurance of the Prudential Company which was written a short while back on the majority of the porters. The Prudential proposition was of such an alluring nature that the porters could not afford to refuse it, and a quite few could not afford to take it out and WE COVER CALIFORNIA LIKE THE OCEAN BREEZE L. A. PORTERS PUT IN FOR SHRINE SPECIAL TO CANADA— Have you been a good Porter? Do you know how to render good service? And what kind of a drag have you at with Mr. V. V. Ross, the Pullman platform man? These were the questions Pullman Porters were asking each other last week as the writer minced back and forth among them catching bits of news here and there to make this page appear interesting to the many railroad men and their families who read the Railroad Clatter, just like they drink their coffee and all because. Plans of Al Malaiakah Tentile to attend the Imperial Council session of the Mystic Shrine in Toronto, June 10, 11 and 12, has been virtually completed, according to the announcement of the heads of the local Shrine organization. According to those in charge of the affair, it is claimed that Los Angeles and Southern California will be well advertised to the thousands of Shriners who attend the Council session, which is expected to attract more than 150,000 persons. Effort is being made by the local organization to make a spectacular showing because Leo V. Youngworth, Imperial Potenteat of the Shrine organization, with 800,000 members, is past Potenteat of Al Malalakh Temple. Contracts have been arranged for two special trains to carry the Los Angeles delegation. Virtually every organization of the Temple which will send a delegation to Toronto is planning new stunts for the benefit of those who will attend the convention. Some spectacular night effects have been worked out and the beautiful float which Al Malalakh Temple in Los Angeles last June, will be reproduced at the theater in California products, in a full set of California products, and shown at Toronto. designed and shown at Toronto, such as walnuts, oranges, and raspins will be carried East by the Shriner and distributed to visitors at the Convention. Each package will be plainly marked to identify the contents as coming from Southern California. The Los Angeles delegation will leave May 31, at 10:30 p. m., immediately following a ceremonial session in honor of the official visit of Imperial Potentate Youngworth, who have been accompanying the Shrine specials for the past five years or more will find it a hard proposition to get lined up on these specials this year. Many of them are not entirely in the good graces of Mr. Snoddy, superintendent and it is thought that he will scan the crews with a critical eye. Although a Shrine special requires men of experience, the writer would pot be surprised to see the younger porter come in for a good share of the cars allotted. It will probably break some of the boy's hearts, but then what's a broken heart anyway. For the writer's part, anybody can have my part or it that wants it. I got my fill on the last one when it went to the bank, but a man has to be off for two weeks when he returns in order to get rested up. Maybe I'm getting old, but but, this year, Utton will be down to the depot to bid you farewell. If you have time, drop me card and I will be only too glad to publish it in the Railroad Clatter. ALL A BOARD FOR TORONTO! SANTA FE NEWS Maurice Felix Undergos Blood Trans fusion—Luther Wilson Makes Sacrifice Deeds of heroism are performed every day and many are that they would go unmentioned if it was up to the parties involved to make the facts known. However, the Railroad Clatter is ever got an ear attentive for news and deeds of the railroad man, and does not hesitate to make the facts known. Many years at the Santa Fe depot, recently had a very serious operation at the Santa Fe Hospital. As he was fighting to recover his case became hopeless unless he could more blood. Doctors on the case ordered a blood transfusion. Luther Wilson, popular co-worker and friend, volunteered without hesitation to supply the blood, and in so doing has enlisted his friend to be in a better position in his battle for life. This information did not come from Luther, but the Clatter garnered it up from other sources, just as it does, other news that you gaze upon with astonishment. ELMER H. HARRIS SANTA FE HON ORABLE SERVICE WAITER Mr. Elmer, H. Harris, one of the crack waiters for Fred Harvey and an old timer in the service, has moved to Los Angeles and expects to spend the rest of his days in our Sunny California weather. Mr. Harris has the distinction of having one of the famous medals awarded by the Fred Harvey System for 25 years service. He worked out of Chicago for many years and is known over the entire Santa Fe System. He also broke in Mr. Lusk and his one of the old man's boys. His daughter, Shirley Harris is also enjoying Southern California. JOHN REESE AND NELSON MITCHUM, FIRST WAITERS TO BE GIVEN WATCHES The first two waiters working for the Santa Fe to be presented with watches for 20 years service were John Reese and Nelson Mitchum, better known as the famous Gold Bust Twilights. These boys run on the Grand Towers. They still carry the watches which keep excellent time. Since then a number of watches have been given for twenty years service. Another proud owner of the coveted prize is Eugene Davis, who resides in this city. WHAT PRICE GLORY? OR THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IS MADE BY RED CAP IN SAN DIEGO One of the most popular red caps at the Santa Fe depot was decorated with what is commonly known in pugilistic circles as a couple of shirts. For years and years I have been led to believe that he wore the pants at his house, but it seems that I have been grossly misinformed in this respect. According to reliable information, he wears the britches every day. EXCEPT SUNDAY. Being of sporting stock, he naturally felt the call of the ponies across the border. Ah, what would be nicer than to take in the sport of kings for just a day? Who will be the wiser, with 130 miles between me and Los Angeles, why it's even out of the United States. But stop! I just can't go down there by myself. It will be too lonesome; lead me to that telephone booth "Hell, Sugar! is that you? Umm Umm! What about taking in the ponies Sunday?” O. K. “All right, don’t forget now!” Ah! the plot thickens. Sunday arrives, Look at the crowd, why, everybody is going. I wonder where sugar is? Oh, here she comes. Hot dog, she looks hot! “Hello, Daddy!” “Hello Dear! I lets hurry and get a seat. I thought you was not coming. Look out dear. you walk ahead, there’s Norman Jones. He is likely to squeal because I laughed at him when h got tapped on the head sometime ago. Go ahead and get a seat, I’ll pick you up later. Well here you are, up here in this seat. How’s daddy’s little sugar lump? Gee, this train can sure run.” “Daddy, are you going to bet on Nasurpuir?” Well, here we are at last, at the track. Oh, look Daddy? who is that woman running toward us? Do you know her? Where? Where? I cool that’s my wife! Smack! hang! oh my eye! “Baby, please don’t, here comes the law, cut it out!” So to make a long story short, after all—WHAT PRICE LILORY? and two black eyes is what I call THE SUPREME SACRIFICE. And the pants, oh yes! I almost forgot. He left them hanging on the fence at the race track! SANTA FE RED CAP HAS STAGE REVUE— depot has got a stage revue called Banks and Banks, which are putting on a red hot show at the Pico theatre on Pico and Georgia streets. The San Diego Red Caps are trying to get another red cap on the shift regular, so that they can all get a day off each week. Frank Parr had a birthday last month, but he did not say anything about it. And so did E. G. Brooks have one in March. You know they say the month of March comes in like a lion, an goes out like a lamb. Well, I guess that's right! Norman Steward, that good-looking red cap at the Santa Fe is the head night man. I always knew that he was a good night man. I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to put Captain on his cap. Hot dog! Hawkins was seen strutting with a hot pair of light pants down in San Diego. E. L. Armand was taken out of line to handle a special party last week. Mrs. Spreckels arriving in Los Angeles on the Chief car from San Diego gave Pullman conductor a large basket of flowers. Pullman Instructor J. Eldridge was on the job at the Santa Fe bright and early Monday morning. Mr. Miner is considered the office sheik. Last week he was seen strutting his stuff in knickers. Mr. R. W. Taylor, assistant superintendent, leads the styles in derby hats. Over a hundred new porters are being hired and broken in by the Pullman instructor. If you think that is an easy job, try and do it. D. D. Washington has broke out on another one of them tares again. The older a man gets the bigger fool he becomes. I saw L. High the other day. He is still running to Phoenix. He had so much dust on him that when he began to prespire a big streak of mud run down the side of his face. L. G. Green was taking up a collection for something or other last week. They better keep their eyes on Green. You know he just got bumped and hard times will make a monkey eat hot pepper. T. Taft has moved from his former residence at 98th and Hooper to 41st. Pullman service inspector, Shelmire has got a new typewriter. That means some porter is going to catch it. What kind of candy was that that Brisco Reese, of San Diego, ate on April 1st? "Speed" is just riding his fool self to death on the Santa Fe's parlor cars. Thomas Nash better watch his step. You know this is a fast, fast world we are living in. Mrs. Brisco Roose, wife of the head red cap in San Diego, made a trip to Los Angeles last week. Lee Prather, the head car cleaner in the Santa Fe yards, is the real boss of them yards when it comes to getting the cars cleaned like Mr. Snoddy wants them, and brothers, let me tell you that is clean. They call on Lee and they come clean. Everything is running smooth in the Santa Fe yards under the new assistant foreman. Foster had a smile on his face for the first time in six months. Even Frank was looking like himself once more. The yard is now a hundred per cent efficient. Carpenter, the wrist watch sheik, is still carrying the time of day on his wrist. --- The new uniforms are here but try and get 'em. Ed Houge made a trip on an extra car to San Diego last week. Maid Heaney is on the ground pending an investigation. The musical program given at Phillips Temple Church, 42nd and Wadsworth by Mane. Bilbrew under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Women's Economic Council was a huge success. Otto Johnson claims the extra board is better than a regular line, and that he did not know what he was missing all this time. Just so they don't send you to Florida, kid. Ovidd Scott, popular S. P. waiter's crew was taken out of line to handle a movie special last week. The boys are beginning to call Eldridge and Smock, the heavenly twins. They have been seen together quite frequently. Cliff Lair claims he cannot get enug to ea, on his line. L. Edwards seems to have an interest in the cigar stand between 9th and 12th street on Central. The worst thing a passenger can do is to lead a porter to believe he is going to tip him a half dollar, then give him a dime. Joe White claims the first few payments are the hardest on a Hupmobile. Letters of comment on the Railroad Clattr will be gladly published whether good, bad or indifferent. Mail to Chas. L. Upton, 2190 West 30th street. Subscribe to the California Eagle through T. Taft, a Pullman Porter out to win a prize. ARNAUD'S THOUGHTS Thought is to lie what oxygen is to the lungs—iron to the blood and lights to the eyes. Not all of us can have great thoughts, not all of the mountains can be like us. Our best work will free all our best work we can think, we all can try, honest any man of average intelligence from the burden of worry in old age. C. CRANE TAKES SPECIAL PARTY TO PORTLAND— C. Crane left this city on the West Coast Limited with a special party for Portland, Ore. This is the first time in many years that Crane has been outside of the State of California. We sincerely hope that Crane is at least about to get a brake. SPECIAL TRAIN OF MORMANS TO.SALT LAKE CITY— Pullman Porters will soon be able to figure on a much bigger pay check than they have been in the habit of getting for some time in the very near future. The vanguard of big travel is scheduled to take place on April 3, when 3000 Mormon men will travel to Salt Lake City on 12 special trains over Utah City. I never knew that there was that many Mormons in Los Angeles before. Guess I better watch out. W. PRESCOTT, CHEF, PASSES AWAY As we go to press have just received wizard of the death of Chef W. Prescott. I have been unable to run down the particulars of this news but will let the readers know the full report in next weks issue. Townsend Admits Fear of Santiago When a fighter and his managers admit themselves afraid of their opponent verily he must have the "goods". But this is what Billy Townsend famous Canadian lightweight, his father and Jack Allen managers confessed to. So in preparation for the battle with Armand Santiago, at the Olympic last Tuesday night special pains were taken to train Billy to keep his chin well covered, during mixups with the brown Cuban flash. Billy was dropped twice in their last sensational battle, and only won when while groggy and reeling he landed a lucky punch that knocked out his victorious foe.

JOE BAILEY In this age of machinery with its ruthless and careless disregard of human life, the odds are very great against those that take a chance. Conservative statics show that one out of every ten deaths in the United States are the result of an accident, that 1500 accidents occur every day, and that automobiles alone kill more than 15,000 people each year. According to the National Health Council, sickness costs the health of this country, 900,000 lives a year inages, and that more people are killed by accidental injury than through lack of employment. The sole support of most wage earners and their families is their salary. The amount of that salary is the earning power of that individual, the most valuable asset that he or she possesses and under the modern scheme that asset is insurable. The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company has Healthr and Accident Policies to cover you no matter what your occupation may be. Policies that pay you for everyday that you miss through sickness or accident, and pay you an income for life in case of permanent total disability from an accident, and these policies are bounded by the Company of the West, with assets of over $102,000,000 and more than 50 years of honest dealing with the public. If you are one of those who are taking a chance on your most valuable asset, you get in touch with JOE BAILEY immediately, by calling Trinity 3526, or Empire 9984, and he will see you at your convenience, and explain to you and help you select the Protection that you need. "Do it today, because who knows what tomorrow might bring." Friday, April 4th, 2 P. M. 626 EAST 36TH PLACE 6-Room modern bungalow and garage, lot about 40 x 135.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES In the mighty battle for economic Independence for the group there is no question of the fact that the greatest obstacle along the road which forms a barrier to our success; is our own 'attitude of mind and lack of visualization. For be it known 'God Helps' only those Who Help Themselves', and if we are successful in our fight for freedom from economic slavery it will be because we have ourselves 'struck the first blow.' It is clearly up to us and every soul must be on the firing line doing their utmost to divert the business which is ours into the channels which will gain for us the greatest good. For surely if we patronize each other in business we but do the act which is our only way of creating great business concerns and as a consequence provide places in which our own boys and girls can work.. As a matter of fact we become ourselves one of the force which takes care of the problem of unemployment. We must meet this issue all along the line and especially must we give due consideration to the white business firms which employ our people, and give to them a preference in our support. When we do these things we will be doing the things which will solve the proposition of economic welfare, and thereby become an integral part of the community in which we live. "When the Saints Come Marching Home is sung with fervor and force as the enthusiasm grows at the average meeting in Churches of the Christian Religions: we often wonder just what sort of Song will be appropriate for all of the crooks when they come marching up to the jail house in this Julian mess." WORTHY OF SUPPORT The Community Art Center of which Prof. John A. Gray is the President, collaborating with other well known Civic workers will hold a monster artists program at the Lincoln Theatre on Wednesday, April 9th. This entertainment is for the benefit of the organization. We want to commend this effort as worthy in the highest degree of the support of the people of this community and we urge upon all to attend this their effort for 1930. The keeping together of such an organization as this indeed one of the high lights in this section. Art will take its proper place and preserved to the utmost. Three great efforts went forth during the present week which to our mind is highly significant and demonstrates the race is virile and awake to its best interest. First we had the wonderful demonstration of the possibilities in store along the line of organization as evidenced by our women, when the huge crowd at the Second Baptist church acclaimed the genius of its leaders and gave a practicle demonstration along the line of organization. Secondly we witnessed the great out pouring which turned out at the Independent church which attested its appreciation for the wonderful service and acclaimed the success of the Liberty Building and Loan Association. Then again we have the spectacle of the valiant women workers who in their own unique manner are going forth upon a program which means so much for the salvation of the race along the line of economic welfare. We are indeed forced to the conclusion we are really getting Somewhere. GRAB IT—HOLD IT A great many of our readers know Dick, only that is not his real name. He is a bright-eyed youngster who plays hard every day. A few days ago we watched him and his playmate having a game of baseball. The score at the time we stopped to look is an unimportant detail. Dick's eyes were never off the rapidly moving sphere. Suddenly a hard and fast fly was batted to his field. Out in this field was a great puddle of muddy water, left by a recent rain, and the ball went straight for the puddle. And Dick went straight for the ball. Perhaps he saw the puddle—at least he knew it was there—but his eyes were on the ball. As the ball shot for the ground Dick leaped into the air, caught the ball, and splash he went flat in the dirty hole. But the hand had nailed the fly never touched the ground. He waded out, covered with mud and soaked to the hide, two facts of which he seemed unaware because he had caught the fly—and had held it. Some boys would have started for the ball and stopped at the edge of the puddle. Some others would have lost it when they fell. Dick held on. That particular ball game soon will be forgotten affair, or at the best only a memory. But we can picture Dick when he gets into the real game of life, as being classed among the star players. He will not look for the little unpleasant things but will hurl himself at the ball and hold on for dear life. He may fall in the mud—he may even have to be fished out—but when he comes to the top, in his hand you will see the ball. One great affliction of so many of us is the tendency to first look for the puddle instead of the ball. And by the time we have figured out every little chance against a successful catch, the ball is gone. PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER It would be comical, were it not somewhat pathetic, the way newspaper offices are besieged every day by their friends, urging them to "roast" this and that; to "see to it" that this and that is corrected; to have this and that done in the city or county; to start this and that kind of movement to correct evils in the state government. These friends actually appear to believe that it is the newspaper's business to handle all these affairs. But a self-respecting newspaper, though ready and willing to carry all responsible responsibility, must remind its readers that they—the people—are the authority upon whom rests the responsibility for the present state of affairs local, state and national. A self-respecting newspaper tries to report the news of what actually happens not what it might wish had happened. The relation of self-respecting newspaper to the general public is not always understood. It is the duty of a newspaper to be in a position to support any good act and criticize any bad act of public policy. This relationship cannot exist where favors are asked and granted. Honesty is the only policy for a newspaper. There is a time for all things, and this happens to be time for marbles. One of the positive signs of spring is the advent of the marble season. No sooner does the warm spring sun melt late winter's snow from pavements and sidewalks than there appear on them mystic chalk marks around which squat boys like Indians about a camp fire. "Knuckle down." "Trade you two shooters for a glassy," and "Your shoot" now become the language of youth, and the tell-tale signs of the season are bulging pockets, cardboard boxes filled with something that rattles suspiciously and having a hole in the top through which a marble might be dropped, and the clatter and roll of marbles on schoolroom floors as sorely strained pants' pockets let go. In his games is the boy "the father of the man." The marbles of youth prepare the way for the tennis-zbilliards, golf and other sports and pastimes of maturity. Marbles is the kindergarten of good sportsmanship. One wonders if there is a normal boy today who does not feel the irresistible urge to play marbles or a normal man who did not as a boy "shoot" the little spheres of colored glass and clay. So inseparable is the boy from the marble one sometimes thinks to deprive the boy of his marbles would work an irreparable loss. About the most expensive thing on earth is money. More happiness is found accidentally than on purpose. A man doesn't reap what he sows unless he works the crop. Way to cure insomnia is to get a job as a nightwatchman. The hardest thing about loafing is buying things on credit. Who remembers when the age of discretion was the parentage? Doing nothing takes up about twice as much time as doing something. Sometimes a man gets so mad he quits being a hypocrite for a few brief minutes. Middle-age is the time when the average man is going to begin saving next month. By "tolerance" people mean acceptance of their standards, and that's all a tyrant asks. The commission appointed by President Hoover to investigate affairs in Haiti has returned and handed in its report. Among the recommendations are: return of the Marine force. Not all at the same time, but gradually. Relief of the duty imposed on General Russell as "Military Dictator" when his time expires. It has given praise to the present president of Haiti, Borno; for assistance in the investigations. Borno is one of the chief reasons of Haitian discontent. He has proven a servile tool for the real dictator of Haitian polices—the commander of the U.S. Marines and has subordinated the real interests of the natives to that end. The Commission complimented the American occupation for the improvements made in sanitation; road construction and raising the morale of the inhabitants. At this writing the report has not been made public in its entirety, but the president, Hoover, has given a good synopsis of what it contains. One thing that is not understood is, why should the Commission recommend the recall of General Russell when "his time has expired." There was not time limit placed on the length of his service. His time will "expire" when President Hoover sees fit to recall him. How soon will that be? For the future good of Haiti, we recommend his immediate return. For once the religious world, Christian and non-Christian, seem to be united. The cause of the solid battle front being the reported antagonism toward all religions by the Soviet government. Reports coming from Russia state that their government has forced Atheism on the people; razed the churches or converted them in to schools and factories; persecuted religious leaders and seek to make Russia a "Godless Country." Premier Rykoo, in a recent interview, branded as lies the prosecution, persecution and imprisonments for religious belief. He does not deny that churches have been closed, and diverted for other purposes, but only on the request of local communities. "In every case when it is proposed to divert a church to some other purpose, final sanctions of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union is required, but when ever a church for lack of support is not being used it may be taken for other needs upon the decision of the local authorities." He said. The antireligious communism is because of the failure of the churches to recognize their obligation to the social and material needs of the people. No amount of persecution, prosecution or what else will estimate the desire of man to recognize something to worship; to look up to; It is inherent: The Soviet Government says that it had an excess of churches, some of which had outgrown their usefulness. Those churches were closed and converted into schools and factories. There is still 50,000 churches functioning with 30,000 priests officiating. During the reign of the Czars religion was encouraged. The peasants were kept in ignorant servitude through religious superstitions. The priest was paid to sprinkle a few drops of "holy water" on the field to insure good crops. The icon was worn as a protection against all evil happenings. During the most flourishing period of the church the Jew was not only persecuted through royal programs but murdered by the most atrocious methods. The placing of all Russians on an equal basis more than off sets the confiscation of few obsolete churches. It is too bad that there can not be devised some plan to turn a number of the churches, now being paid for by the scant incomes of Negro religionist, into more profitable sources. There are entirely too many of them. Few of them out of debt and a continual strain on the scanty incomes of the worshippers. Too much religion has been one of the drawbacks to the material success of the American Negro. He is encouraged to build churches. He can borrow to build a church or buy an obsolete building discarded by some white congregation, when he can not borrow five dollars to help start some business enterprise. Why? Because the banks that his religion enthusiasm will cause him to go without food to help pay off the church mortgage, when he would possibly, be apathetic in meeting a business obligation. This is no brief for Atheism, but the number of churches do not make religion. Too many mar it. With the tariff out of the way the national solons incline their ears to the walls and protests of the anti-Volsteads, and the bone "Dry's". For several weeks the Graham committee has been bombarded with the foresic ammunition of both sides. The question of prohibition of alchoholic beverage is becoming a political issue. Adoption as a moral safeguard it has insinuated itself until permeates every issue of our local and national politics. It might be that the question has aroused certain hysterical persons to the verge of fanaticism. Candidates for political preferment are threatened openly with defeat if, on one hand they are "Dry" and the other if they are "Wet": Fitness for the office sought is not considered. The question is, "Is he "Wet" or "Dry"? This in itself makes hypocrites and liars out of otherwise honorable and truthful men. If the community from which they seek votes shows "Dry" then a "Wet" becomes "Dry", and vice versa. If it was put to a popular vote tomorrow the Prohibition law would be changed by a vote of two thirds of the people. None wish to see the old regime of the corner saloon return, and it never will. The law will be so modified that Temperance through education, will accomplish that which drastic laws try to do but never will. The disease of partial paralysis which has been sweeping the south and south western states has been traced to a concoction of sheen-dip; --- creosote and wood alcohol. In one other section of the country a disease has been discovered where users of alchoholic boot-leg have been rotting at the mouth, which turns black and cause the teeth to fall out. Those methods are injurious to health and a menace but will not deter people from drinking. If it were only a menace to habitual or confirmed user of alchohol it might not seem so bad, but there is another angle. How about the number of young men and women who, though not habitual users, would call no gathering socially complete without the "Whoopeee?" It can not be glossed over; it is an acknowledged fact illicit drinks enter into the majority of the social affairs. Poisoned liquor is a detriment to the nation, as much as it undermines the health and constitutions of the nations future parents of children. We believe in temperance and feel confident that the cause of temperance, through education, was set back by prohibitory laws fifty years. This may be interesting news for some who have read the previous story published in the press by the daily papers that a white man of South Bend Indiana, returned to his home unexpected and caught a prominent physician of that town in the bed with his wife. When he walked into the police station and surrendered he gave the above statement. After examination of the wounds it was ascertained that they could not have been made under the conditions explained by the killer, and after a close questioning confessed that he first murdered his wife; then called in the physician and while he was making an examination, killed him; Undressed the body and placed in the bed with his wife in order to place justification on the killing. The story of the killing and the plea of the "Unwritten Law" was black faced in most of the Daily's. 'It was a certainly that if the killer went to trial he would be exonerated and acquitted. But we have searched in vain for any retraction of the story or any amount of space given to the TRUTHE. The stain physician was a Negro of splendid character and his patients numbered some of the wealthiest whites in the community. His fellow physicians, all white, testify to sterling worth and his pride in the ethics of his profession. BUT WHY IS IT THAT THE DAILIES AFTER KNOWING THE TRUTH DON'T NAIL THE LIE? Congressman Bowman, W., Va., has introduced a bill prohibiting the occupancy of all alley residences in the National Capital after July 1st 1940. A penalty is provided for living in alleys. The President would be authorised to spend up to $1,000,000 to abolish alley dwellings in the District of Columbia. That is a splendid bill and should receive the unanimous support of the representatives. The Alley dwellings in any city are menace to health and morals. The Negroes of the District should use all possible means to insure the passage of the measure. There is some work for the Civil Liberty League, Messrs., President; G. E. R. and G. C. get busy and function. The alley residences in the District are a MENANCE TO THE HEALTH AND MORALS OF THE RACE Labor appears to be on the trail of Judge Parker, N. C. nominee of the President for Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. It is alleged that some of his decisions have been inimical to labor and that he is more interested in property rights than the rights of humanity. Representative Welch, Cal., and Resident Commissioner Osias had quite a little seto when the California congressman demanded the exclusion of Filipinos and urged favorable consideration of his bill. Osias said that the social and economic issues involved could be solved only by the freeing of the Philippines. Welch also placed himself on record as favoring restricted immigration of Mexicans when asked by representative Schafer. Wis. Osias said he recognized the power of congress to exclude Filipinos, but that Welch's plan was but a "makeshift" solution of the whole question. He advocated freedom for the Islands. It might be that too many Smiths will spoil the political broth brewing in the pot of State Treasurer. William Smith of Burbank has cast his gauntlet in the arena to joust with Charlie Johnson, incumbent and Frank Smith, Los Angeles, former warden at San Quentin prison. If the Johnsons can be held intact by the incumbent while the Smith clan divides its strength, it will be a walk-a-way for the Johnson clan. At any rate it is hard to see how Johnsons can lose. In a recent speech before an audience of business men: Governor C. C. Young gave a synopsis of the financial condition of the state. It was a refutation of the statement of an aspirant for the office now held by him. There was no reference made to the statements made, but the Governor confined his address to statistical facts and figures to sustain his statements. The opponents of the Governor will have to seek some other source than economical issues for the basis of a campaign. There has been much spending, but it has been done wisely and for the best interest for all. The writer is pleased to note the reported improvement in the health of Mr. E. W. Robinson. His indisposition has been of a serious nature and his many friends were concerned deeply. Mr. Robinson is one of the few Race business men in Sacramento. He has been influential in civic affairs and active where-ever duty called. He is a pioneer citizen and believes in Sacramento's future. Religious; and believing in the potency of the church, he never loses sight of the necessity of material conditions. His business gives employment to a number of people, and they, as well as his many friends, wish for him a speedy and full recovery. factors. Not only did these men give freely of their talent, but no less freely and copiously, their money, in defense of the Negro's rights. Wherever a member of the Negro race has an opportunity to contribute to this memorial fund, he should seize the opportunity as a special privilege and not be tempted to rely on the funds go toward canonizing the men who gave their lives that American justice should know neither race nor color. (From The Buffalo Progressive Herald, March 22, 1930.) TWO GREAT CHAMPIONS OF JUSTICE When Southern states were writing into their laws the infamous Grandfather clauses which threatened to take away, from Negroes the right to vote in those states; when courts presided over by a hostile judge, irony, and a mob threatening violence unless the Negro culprit was convicted, condemned Negroes; when white property owners covenanted not to sell certain properties to Negroes, and attempted to enforce the clause by state law, Negroes were forced to surrender so swiftly to eliminate the Negro from any participation in Southern state primaries; when all these injustices were directed against the social, economic, and political rights of the Negro in the United States. It was these two great champions of justice who forsoot that they might be ostracized from society of prominent white folk if they defended the Negro; who forsoot that they might be ostracized by leaving the Negro question alone than they received by defending the Negro and who dared to lift their voices in defense of the despised tenth part of the American population, championed the Negro's cause. (From The St. Luke Herald March N. A. A. C. P. GROUP PLAN 22, 1930.) The latest move made by the N. A. A. A. C. P., to secure the active support of communities, where branches seem not to thrive, appears to be the best plan yet presented to lukewarm communities, where the bulk of citizens have professed accord with the Association's program and accomplishments, but have been "too busy" or too negligent to work out an active and militant program. The group membership plan, whereby organizations of all types and sizes, may become regular contributors and influential supporters should appeal to even the least interested local group. In a community which is closely related with many civic and political ruptures as has Richmond in the past two years, an immediate response should follow the presentation of the plan, as outlined by Robert W. Bagnall, in a recent visit to this city. Two great figures—Moorfield Storey, a Massachusetts Yankee; and Louis Marshall, a Hebrew son of New York City; both prominent lawyers, both believed fought, and died in defense of a common people—American citizens, without regard to race or color. The N. A. A. C. P. is now promoting a campaign in the interest of a memorial to these two great bene The reasons for Richmond Negroes' failure to give active and continued support to the work of the N. A. A. C. P. have not yet been definitely analyzed. All that can be said with any degree of assurance is, that Richmond Negroes have large and substantial support to the Association's program; even though BY THE DEACON WOMAN ON WAR PATH A band of fighting women, Meet last Sunday afternoon, And issued an ultimatum That an election is coming soon. The proud and militant President, Our own Mrs. Betty Hill, Requested her warring sisters; To be quiet and set still. The men needed no such admonition; They were as silent as Egyptian mummies. As quiet as Church mice, Or, painted Indian dummies. One look at the platform, Was enough to subdue the men; I heard a stalwart brother say; Lord, where will this thing end. Right there before their eyes, Sat the brave District Attorney; And any violation of law, Would mean a lonesome journey. Our own, Deputy Leon Whaitker, Was setting by his Chief; Ready for any emergency, And prepared to give relief. There was the California Eagle, Whose age I will not mention; Sitting there in all her splendor, Before this Study Club Convention. There was Dr. Eliza Gibson, The hold and fearless founder, With her brave co-patriots, Gathered, all around her. We looked upon the platform; And what did our eyes behold? It was little Miss Helen Werner, Who is worth her weight in gold. Madam President then came forth, And in a quiet dignified manner, Exhorted her loyal followers, To uphold the women's banner. The banner of Civic Righteousness Is in our sacred care, And then she turned and said; Brother Griffith; lead us in prayer. I would not dare tell you, What Brother Griffith said; But his supplication to the Lord, Would move a heart of lead. And then the grand parade commenced With lady Presidents, if you please; But "Solomon in all his glory" [ Was not arrived like one of these. They scouraged the political shysters, and skipped them on the face; Then ordered the degenerate peddlers To quit selling the Negro Race. I'd tell you more about it. But modestly should forbid, A more detailed description, Of what those noble women did. If they carry out their program, The time will soon come. When the days of political shysters Will he forever done! it has been the beneficiary of the organization's bounty when political perils have threatened the peace and security of the colored citizens. Even now, there is the White Primary Case pending in the courts; in with the N. A. A. C. P. is giving financial support and local assistance. The new plan offered to the colored citizens of Richmond is the one opportunity that local Negroes have to redeem themselves. Few cities have more fraternal and beneficial organizations than are found in Richmond. Hardly any of them is a treasury in too precarious a position, although least a $10.00 group member ship as offered under the new plan. (From The New York Amsterdam News, March 26, 1830.) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is about 40 start a campaign for a memorial to Moorfield Storey and Louis Marshall. The two men of recent times more deserving of grateful remembrance by the Negro. Eminently successful in their own race and careers, they went out of their way to befriend a race to which they owed nothing, for the sole reason that they were big enough. They brought about Theodore Roosevelt's famous ideal "All men up and no man down." The coming drive should have the support of every engro with a spark of gratitude in him. Moorfield Storey and Louis Marsall won five important victories for the Negro in the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Storey fought successfully for the demise of the Negro disfranchisement by the notorious Grandfather Clause; he won the Louisville Sagregation case; his argument in the famons Arkansas case saved twelve innocent Negroes from death and sixty-seven from long prison, terms. Mr. Marshall won the Texas White Primary case; he prepared and argued the case; he inserted of clanship property delivery or sale to Negroes; at the time of his death lie was preparing a case to test Southern legislation in the Texas White Primary Case. Let it not be forgotten that one of the best ways to honor such men is to help carry on the work from which they were taken by death. The N. A. A. C. P. is one organization that should never be allowed to suffer for lack of funds.

The Silk quilt contest came to a close with Miss Aileen Clark winning the beautiful covering. These contests were started by Mrs. Mary Galewood as a means to raise $300 towards a church fund. This is a marvelous accomplishment for any woman to undertake young or old-Mrs. Galewood is nearly 80 years old. Next Tuesday, evening the Ladies Aid will conduct a unique contest at the church. Small aprons will be mailed to the women of Pasadena who in turn will deposit in the pocket of the apron as many pennies as there are inches around the woman's waste line. The money will be given to the church fund. Mrs. Wm. H. Roberts sang at the Brotherhood which met at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday noon. DEATHS— Mrs. Kizzah Shorp was buried Friday.

EAGLE CAMPAIGN Miss Ethelyn Hunter has entered the Eagle Subscription campaign with a view of winning the cash prize. Miss Hunter solicits your aid; she hopes to use the money to further her education. HERE AND THERE Sunday evening we journeyed to the Trinity Auditorium and listened to the executive board of the socialist party. "We heard such speakers as Marine League. Courtney runs the 440 and 880 and the way that boy can roam away from those fair skinned boys is a shame. He does it just so easy, just like clock work. It seems as if there is no effort behind it at all. "Bucket Head" as Courtney is known does the 880 in about 2.2 and that is some fast stepping, believe it. It not try it yourself. Earl Nickerson the sprint ace for Riis and Nickerson is sonic fast baby himself. He has been clocked in the century in as low as 9.5, now you know that is flying for a high school kid. When he isn't nearing a record of some kind he runs the dash in 10 flat all the time, all the time—all the time. Drop of the voice on the last phrase to get the desired effect. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SATURDAY Saturday night at 7:30 the Hedonics and the Galloping Don Juans tangle for the championship of the "Y" league. It should be a fight game to wind up the casabla season and the Dons look to be favorites. But the bunch of Hedonics are a fighting bunch and they might fool the Juans that night. A big crowd with plenty of the weak- A big crowd with plenty of the weaker sex president is expected. Mayor D. W. Hoan of Milwaukee; Morris Hilquit, New York, editor and candidate for Mayor of New York City; James Oneal of Terre Haute, Indiana, and others. Upton Sinclair was master of ceremonies. Comrads and high brows alike, listened to specialists as they championed the cause of the laborers as against exploiting capitalists. Here are a few of the high points: 1-From 1923-1928 there has been an increase of net profits from 13 billion to 90 billion dollars 2-We have hundreds of thousands out of work here in the U. S. at the same time there are over 50 billion dollars placed in foreign investments. 3-These infant conditions can only be righted by changing the present economic system, etc. etc." The speeches were educating at least they reveal the startling facts that the workers of the world produce all the world's wealth getting very little/share of it themselves; and too, they show that there is a plenty of wealth in this country despite the fact that hundreds of thousands are unable to find decent employment. Turdion, but what kind of berg is this town Pasadena? Few are the families, it seems, where both parents are not working while the kids roam the streets. I have in mind several families who boast of their homes and automobiles. All the parents are so greedy making money that they fail to realize that their little brats are heading fast toward criminal careers. Take it from a wise guy, mama: you had better let papa make the money while you train the kids. Yours Truly, A GLOBE TROTTER KING AND EADES BATTLING AT PASADENA As we go to press Richie King is the headliner at Pasadena arena. He is opposing Dud Eades.

ACQUITTED OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Mar. 16—By A.N.P.—James Epps, 37 years old, who was charged with two other men, with the murreer on April 18, 1928, of Nathan Jasper (white) who conducted a delicatessen store at 4651 Haverford Avenue, has been acquitted. All three men were convicted of first degree murder, Epps having been sentenced on January 11, 1929, to life imprisonment. His attorney, Henry P. Cheatham, Jr., noted an appeal. The case was argued before the Supreme Court which court reversed the decision of the lower court and granted a new trial. The case was heard on the 5th of March before Judge Horace Stern, the Commonwealth being represented by Assistant District Attorney Vincent A. Carroll. Notwithstanding the fact that Epps had been identified by Mrs. Jasper, widow of the murdered man, as one of the culpits who were bent on robbing the store, the jury on which appeared two white women returned a verdict of acquittal. It is said that this is the first time in five years that the Supreme Court has reversed the decision of the lower court in a first degree murder case and granted a new trial at which the result was acquittal. Mr. Cheatham is the son of Henry P. Chestham, former member of Congress, and at one time recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. SACRED CONCERT PHILLIPS TEMPLE C. M. E. CHURCH 42nd and Wadsworth Sts. Sunday Eve., April 6th 1930—At 7:30 o'Clock Rev. Humphreys, Pastor Silver Offering. Public invited From the Department of Water and Power Voting "Yes" on the $38,800,000 Water Bonds May 20 positively will not mean more assessments nor will it entail increased taxes, declares Marshall Stimson, prominent Los Angeles authority on assessments, in a statement urging unqualified support of the vital Water Bonds. Having successfully carried through hundreds of battles against the hundreds of battles against assessments evils, Mr. Stimson is eminently qualified to discuss the subject. Thus his remarks on the question of assessments carry added weight "As a citizen fully aware of the absolute need of more water to be supplied immediately by the $38,800,000 bonds to be voted May 20, I am anxious to clear up any doubt there may be with relation to assessments. The question or assessments is likely to come up in connection with the voting of Water Bonds and I wish to make plain the fact that there can be no assessments against property as a result of this bond issue. "In the Water Bonds are carried, their passage will not have the effect of increasing assessments. On the contrary, if the bonds are not voted the assessments already made against property will be made more burdensome, because value of all property will deteriorate. "We must have more water if Los Angeles expects to grow. Property values will be lowered to a very definite extent if immediate provision is not made to increase our supplies of water. "Citizens of Los Angeles may rest assured their property values will be enhanced if we are wise enough to maintain a continued supply of water and they also may be certain the approval of the water bonds will not cause any assessments to be made against their property. "Provision is made by the charter for the payment of general water bond interest and principal charges from revenue of the Bureau of Water Works paint 1¢ every other gallon MONEY BACK GUARANTEE Just to advertise our high-quality paints, we are making a grand SPECIAL ONE CENT OFFER this week on our Old Invade $3.95 each.

New York, Mar. 17—Confronted with the fact that he is rounding out a year's service at the Alhambra Theater, Tom Mosely grew reminiscent the other night. Mosley, as you know, is the chap who has played in many high-class stage productions, before going to the Harlem Theater. He has many successes to his credit and can boast, if boast he would, of triumph which would stir the average actor to the point of becoming a swell-head. But not Tom Mosely—he is still the same congenial fellow, who started out years ago to win his laurels as a Thespian. "In this year, I have taken part in fifty-two plays, running the gamut of comedy to the most dramatic stories. I remember once, I played the role of a hen-pecked husband, who had been mistaken for a prizefighter. The work was hard, but it got over in good style. Miss Susie Sutton played with me in that skit. Then, there was a role of a drunken lawyer, a tool of the underworft. Miss Bebe Townsend was cast with me in this play. The parts, however, that I like best, are the roles requiring considerable makeup effort. NEW ORLEANS, La., Mar. 17—By A.N.P.—Damon Ross was shot in the back by police, when he ran to avoid questioning. Ross will die from the wounds. The officer who fired the shot said that he saw Ross and several men congregated at White an Erato Sts. Beheving Ross to be wanted in connection with a robbery, the patrolman approached the group and started to question them, which resulted in the firing of the fatal shot. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The large and appreciative audiences which witnessed the first public appearance of the newly organized Young Men's Division of the 28th Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., under the direction of Mr. F. C. Covington, were well repaid for attending the morning and evening services of the People's Independent Church on March 30th. The sermon "Personal Responsibilities" by Mr. Clayton Russell was the high light of the 11:00 o'clock service. No one has denied the fact that Mr. Russell is an able preacher for so young a man. The evening service was climaxed by one of the most entertaining debates this year. "Resolved that women leaving home to engage in industry is detrimental to society" was the subject upheld by Mr. Russell and Mr. Covington, and disavowed by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Maflock. The Y. M. D. quintet once again showed their ability as radio artists in three numbers rendered. The surprise of the evening was the initial appearance of the seven piece ensemble under the direction of Mr. Edward Jones. Mr. Russell was at the piano. Messrs. Harris and Roberts in the clarinet section; Mr. Dyson, flutist; Mr. Carl Jefferson, saxophonist; and Messrs. Jones and Covington, violinists. A symphony in embryo was the opinion of the very appreciative audience. Sunday, April 6th, at 8 p. m., the newly organized health club "Hygemia" under the sponsorship of Drs. Stovall and Supply. Thus the fear of increased assessments or taxes is dissipated when the facts are known." Mr. Stimson said the program of expenditures contemplated under bond issue had been carefully scrutinized by engineers of the Bureau of Water Works and Supply, by members of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, the Mayor, the Citizens' Water and Power Committee, the Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies and prominent civic organizations and every item found to be essential. "We cannot afford to let anything stand in the way of favorable action on these bonds," said Mr. Stimson. "It is our duty as citizens to work untimely for the success of these bonds in order to protect the welfare of our rapidly growing City." am at the ning, Apr. 9t and Diggs will give a unique health program in the lobby.

BIG FASHION Don't Miss The Beauty MONDAY EVENING BENEF Eagle Contestants Coolidge and DePriest LIBRARY BOOK NOTES Ex-President Coolidge said: "There is no argument against the taking of Life insurance * * * "Our government has given close attention to the insurance companies and they are on so sure a foundation that it is in substance a guaranty method of our people." Similarly, we feel that there is no argument against the taking of Life insurance in our own colored owned and managed Life insurance, comseeking Life insurance protection companies on the part of any person and particularly our own people. These companies must meet the requirements of the same government supervision that the largest and strongest companies must meet. They are therefore safe. In addition, they offer to our own people employment as agents, clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers, menagers and medical examiners which other companies do not offer. The Golden State Insurance Company offers a shining example of this superior service. This Company is not only issuing first-class policies and serving the insurance needs of the people in this community, but it is giving employment to more than one hundred and twenty-five persons of our own group, and these employees are not limited in advancement by the color of their skins, but only by their own ability to succeed. Speaking on insurance, Congressman Oscar DePriest had the following to say: "I am a firm believer in Life insurance, and the best evidence of that belief is the fact that I carry a good line. Life insurance is now an institution. It has its place in our domestic life as well as in business. Contracts are provided that make it not only a business asset, but a business necessity. When the husband—head of a family—dies and his source will suffer unless provision is made for an artificial "husband" to take the place of the one who has gone on. A man earning a salary of $2,400 a year and providing for his family on that sum, represents the earning on a capital of $40,000.00. Wife and children would be in an embarrassing position with this income cut off. Business men at times need funds, which can be raised on adequate Life insurance collateral. Large obligations coming due can be met by 10-year or 15-year policies payable at the end of given periods. I would not be without Life insurance, and recommend it most highly to the young man or woman who is attempting to shape out a successful future."—Oscar DePriest. Our young men and women would do well to follow the advice herein given by this accomplished political leader. When you think insurance think— GOLDEN STATE GUARANTEE FUND INSURANCE COMPANY. Goldie Hess may fight Jack Berg sensational English lightweight, in Madison Square Garden, New York, some time next month. He received an offer of 20 per cent and two round-trip tickets to fight Berg on April 23. Harvey Petitt has asked Tom McArdle to make the Berg date for April and the match is on. Thomas, new comer here from Bellingham Wash., has had 36 sights and has lost only once. That was to Billy Townsend. After much meditation and experience, I have owned that it takes as much sense and refinement and talent to cook a dinner, wash and wipe a dish, make a bed and dust a room, as goes to the writing of a novel, or shining a bed and B...'h sclR.... in high society."—Rose Terry Cooke. Often too the housewife fails to realize that managing a home is as serious a business as any other and may be run just as systematically as her husband's office with the least possible expenditure of time, energy, and money if she will only give some serious thought to it. Those housewives who find they are not fully equipped to cope with their jobs would do well to consult the following books at the Helen Hunt Jackson or Vernon Branch Library: "Spending the Family income," by Agnes Donham—a splendid book to assist those who wish to plan their spending systematically giving each department of household or personal expenditure such careful consideration that they may be sure to resist the temptation to spend for those things which are merely attractive in themselves without adding to the real values of life. "Science of the Home," by Nuthan Giles and Dorothy G. Ellis—an excellent book whose material is organized around the problems of the average housewife such as health, food, water, air, heat, machines in the home, lgight, electricity and clothing. "The Chemistry of Cooking and Cleaning," by Ellen H. Richards and S. Maria Elliott—an up-to-date manual for housekeepers. CIRCULATION, ETC.

WILLIAM The attendance was very good last Sunday at the A. M. E. Church, in spite of rain; the pastor delivered an excellent sermon and choir rendered several new numbers. The church was greatly surprised by the Stewardess, on last Monday evening, when they celebrated the Anniversary of the Church. An excellent program was rendered, which was enjoyed by all. It was very interesting to listen to the history of the Church as only two of the members who started out with the church 30 years ago remain now. Namely Rev Frank Johnson, and Rev W. G. William. The Church was first started in one little room, with very few members, who became easily discouraged, but the faithful few, continued to work, and pray, and finally moved into larger quarters, and still continued to fight onward, although the struggle was hard, but with the assistance of a few white friends, they managed to keep pegging onward until today, with a good strong-following, and a good pastor. The church is moving onward, both spiritually and financially. During the thirty years of struggle the Church has had 17 pastors. A beautiful birthday cake made by our own Mr. E. E. Pitts was quite an attraction. The church parlor was decorated beautifully for the ocasion, and much credit is due Mrs. S. V. Norris and the Stewardess for their efforts in putting over this great Anniversary Dinner of the Church, which will long be remembered by all.

Earth Born Saviours of Mankind Way back yonder when we were weighted down in bondage the Garrisons, Lundys, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Lovejoys, et al, earth born saviours of mankind would not be satisfied until the bovage of physical slaves lifted from race of human beings at which time not a single member of the race said a "mumbling word" to the contrary thereof. In this enlightened age with 65 years of physical freedom; the group beginning to deteriate from inaction and lack of organized effort to get some where. Dr. Elzora Gibson Mrs. Helen Werner, two courageous white women got our women to catch the vision; they are apt pupils and very promptly are on their way—the demonstrate and immediately; the men and a few sorseheads among the women raise the cause their activities, on the grounds that they have ulterior motives. In the case of less courageous women than the ones men they would throw up their hands in disgust. However they are true blue and sincere to the great masses who appreciate their sincerity to the highest degree. They have proven their worth a hundred fold and we feel like president Lincoln when complaint was made against General Grant that he was constantly drunk. President Lincoln calmly listened to the jealous detractors against the silent commander, and then inquired if any of the commissioners what brand of whiskey General Grant drank—and said, "I am disinterested and that you do not know if you if you did I would like to order some of it for all men's ceremonies to drink and maybe they would win some battles like General Grant does and end the Civil War." This is the way we feel about these noble and courageous white women, and whatever their motives are give us a motive that we can supply to either white, black, brown or any other color that will give to us a break in the civic and political affairs of our government. Finally it is a sorry spectacle with men who are listless, lazy and who have absolutely failed to organize anything, anybody or even themselves standing around criticising women who are doing things for all peoples including the race of which they are a member. Shame on you brother, now women go on with your story. BLODGETT MOTOR COMPANY Hudson & Essex Dealers 2516-18 CENTRAL HUmbolt 8365 FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1930 The Calif.

XHAUST Our headlights focused on El Centro once again for the second time in a week on last Sunday. Folks down there wore smiles from ear to ear as they gathered round the rostrum of Pastor Hayter's A. M. E. church about 3:00 p.m. Twas a glorious gathering I tell you. There was folks a plenty there. Now let me see, there was to begin with big folks and little folks too; white folks and colored folks, married folks and single folks. Folks dressed up and folks dressed down: yellow folks and no few browns. Dar was hungry folks and filled up folks, insured folks and folks, uninsured. There were soloists and vocalists and a choir you couldn't see for singing. Dar was talking folks and folks that couldn't talk for listening. Professors and school teachers wer no few and the Negro Business League was there too. Dar was prachers, saints, and sinners seated side by side. Dar was Baptist folks a plenty, and Methodists and Zionists who enthusiled that had Gabriel blew his horn, I declare I don't know which way either would have flew. Dar was lodges and societies with regalier bedges on Folks from San Diego and folks from L. A. too. Dar was educated folks and folks dat couldn't read or write. I declare I hadn't seen such a gathering since de day I first saw light. Of course I see know youse ankious for to learn what it was all about and why folks or all descriptions had decided to turn out. Now folks this parts a secret, and promise me you won't tell if I whisper in your ear the secret I should not tell. Come in close and gather round me, clear your ears and plug your mouths, close the doors and plug de key holes, pull the shades and shut de windows. Shn. quiet, not a murmur, not a sound. Now listen: The Golden State Insurance Company had a celebration. While talking to some friends the other day about the race's economic affairs, our versitle citizen and friend, H. A. Reeves, who has a large used building material business at 34th and Central, whisked by in a Studebaker Six, all smiles. Guess he has a right to smile for the for he has been 10 years trying to acquire one. Yes, oh yes, the Star is still enjoying good health and on his pay roll. The Liberty Building and Loan had its annual affair last Monday night and folks were filled up both with talk and eats. And just to think six years ago this $300,000 concern was If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened an infant. My how children grow in California. We see where the busy Idle Hour club was entertained at the home of Mrs. E. C. Jennings on last Tuesday and her illustrious husband entertained the Blackstone club of which he is president. In the evening, Judge Hardy, we learn was the principal speaker. We wonder if those ladies who-er beg pardon, there is a onuch dyni-mite attached to what we was about to say, I motion we withdraw our remarks till after election. Do I hear a second. All in favor say F. I's have it; motion carried. While galavanting around the Dun-bar we picked up the foot-prints of the new manager of same. Congratulations. Mr. A. E. Andarsonia made a flying trip to the Imperial Valley and San Diego the first part of last week. He returned home Tuesday and is, we learn, located at the Dunbaf. Atta boy. I was informed by mouth this week that white waitresses supplanted some of the colored boys on S. P. diners between here and Frisco. It begins to look like the railroads are going to pst rid of the black boy. I expect, what I hope aint, is so. Time will tell. FANS AWAIT FIRST RADIO SONG DRAMA A spotted, and tuneful drama that clearly shows the possibilities of the new-form musical film entertainment is the Radio Picture "Street Girl," which opens at the Gayety theater. The picture is distinctive in that the movement of the story and the musical sequence are naturally dependent and correlated. Betty Compson, who has reached new heights through the medium of talking pictures, heads the cast of well known players. This talented star possesses a rich, sweet voice and a wealth of dramatic power. Her role in Street Girl is regarded as the greatest of her career. Miss Compson is seen as a girl of the streets who obtains employment as a violin player and entertainer in a small Hungarian cafe in New York's East Side. The ability of the little group of musicians with whom she works is finally recognized after an unpromising start. Success obtains for them a night club of their own after a series of disheartening experiences. Miss Compson is well qualified to play this particular part, for she started her professional career as a violinist on a western vaudeville circuit. COLORFUL BACKGROUND "Street Girl" was adapted from W. Carey Wonderly's story, "The Viennese Charmer," a dramatic and realistic tale or that little known, "but intensely human district. New York's Little Hungary" Jane Murfin wrote the dialogue, and through it brought a poignant and authentic transcription of life to that section. Featured in support of Miss Compson is John Harron, whose performance marks him as one of the most accomplished of those stars of the silent screen who have successfully made the change to dialog pictures. Coupled with the sense drama of "Street Girl" is sparkling comedy furnished by Jack Oagie, Ned Sparks and Joseph Cawthorn, three of the screen's best comics. Seldom can picture claim four distinct song hits, but Sidney Clare and Oscar Levant, well-known Broadway song-writing team, have composed a quartet of popular numbers for Street Girl that promise to gain national recognition. "My Dream Memory", "Broken Up Tune", a "hot" stepping number which has orginated in the new "Broken Up" dance, "Lovable and Sweet", and "Prince of Good Fellows" contain all the elements that go to make up popular hits. SAN DIEGO SECTION Mrs. Margaret Hubert, principal of the Dunbar School, Imperial Valley, and Mr. William Payne, Jr., of Los Angeles, brother of Miss Octavia Payne, pianist, were guests of the latter at her home on Ocean View Blvd. Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Frances Smith of East San Diego visited friends in Los Angeles over the week end. CLUB DOINGS The S. and C. Club, an organization of young Misses, sponsored by Mrs. A. A. Floyd, rendered a very pleasing program at the B. Y. P. U. hour at Calvary Baptist Sunday. These girls were the dinner guests of the Y. W. C. A. (white) Thursday at which time they gave one of their popular programs. At the close of its meeting last Thursday night, Treble Clet Twelve was royally entertained by Mrs. Reginald Harper, 3525 Webster Street. A pleasant social hour was spent, during the serving of delicious refreshments. There were eleven members present. Miss Roberta Woods is reporter for this club of which Mrs. Ruth Richardson is president. Under the direction of Mrs. A. A. Floyd, the club is showing much enthusiasm over its work. The Ida B. Wells Club held a very inspiring, devotional meeting with Mrs. Freericks, Thursday afternoon of last week. The Keystone Baseball Club defeated the Arlington Heights, Club Sunday by a score of 2 to 1. The feature of the game which lasted eleven innings was a triple play. Morris, second baseman to Ritchey, first baseman everyone present seemed to enjoy the game. Some of the young people are desirous of having a tennis club so that at the meeting of the state organization our group may be represented. On the Second Sunday of this month the Young People's Forum will hold its meeting at the Unitarian Church at which time William Pickens, a national officer of the N. A. A. C. P. will be presented by that body. The Forum will render a quartette number on the program. Quite a bit of enthusiasm is being manifested over the coming contest between Calvary Baptist choir and Bethel A.-M. E. Choir for the 10th instant at Calvary Church. CORD, BOSTON MASS. SHOULD. BE CAPITALIZED "In defiance of Webster, many a U. S. Publication still spells Negro with a small "n" but capitalizes all other races. Long has the N. A. A. C. P. crused for orthographical equality, openly resenting what it called petty discrimination against its racial dignity." The article added that the New York Times has announced it would make the typographical change from "n" to "N" as an act in recognition of racial self-respect. The Boston Record is among the newspapers spelling Negro with a capital initial. CHARTER FOR NEW LEGION POST Plans are under way for presentation of charter ceremonies for Freed Whitaker Post American Legion in Watts. A committee headed by Dr. N. Curris King, Luther Tayler, and Police Officer J. Rosebereneu are busily engaged on details of this affair and the organization will be host to the entire nineteenth district. A patriotic program at which a number of prominent speakers will be present, will be rendered, pending word from County Headquarters, a definite date will be announced in the very near future. The Race Relations program directed by Mr. D. V. Allen promises to be of unusual interest. The second Sunday night of each month is the regular time of this interesting meeting and Bethel A. M. E. Church is the place. We are looking forward to a big meeting in the near future to awaken interest in the California Eagle, a well established Journal for which one need not hesitate to subscribe. The funeral services of Mrs. Hallie Williams-Edgerton, who died Mar. 27 were held Monday afternoon at Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. J. H Brown, officiating. Mrs. Edgerton was the wife of Mr. Lester Edgerton and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Williams. She was a graduate of the Senior High School and after completing the course, she spent some time at the General Hospital in nurse training. She was a very lovable young woman and her host of friends sorrowed at her going. The Tate Funeral Home in its usual efficient manner, conducted the funeral. LA JOLLE The benefit play given at the La Jolla Union Mission Tuesday evening was a huge success, those comprising the cast were Mesdames Francis Arnold and Muriel Ubanks (Pres. and Secy' of the Association) Lola Margan.-Alex McPherson, Cleo Jordan Adeline Woods, Ed Coleman, I. C. McKinney Lillian Lawson, Hattie Townsend, Mattie Fredericks, Blanche Reynolds and Lillie Clock and Joe Thornton, the only man in the play as The Professor.

McKinney is spending a few days in Santa Anna with friends. Mrs. Ada Robinson who was called home on account of the illness of her brother has returned. Mrs. Wilbure Holmes of Idaho Falls Idaho and Mrs. John Carr were visiting friends in La Jolla, Wednesday. Mrs. Leola Morgan who has been spending the winter here returned to her home in Cleveland last week. No More Kink-Results Hollywood Experiment Out in Hollywood where the finest cosmeticians and tonsorialists are constantly experimenting on products to improve the appearance of the famous stars at the many studios. Search was last year for a hair dressing most effective on the hair of colored stars. Sudden great demand for Negroes in the movies made this absolutely necessary, as the motion picture industry dictates as to the appearance of its actors. The Hawaiin Beauty Products company employed several of the most highly capable scientists to study the structure of the hair shaft and follicle of the Ethiopian hair and as a result of this NO—MOR KINK was devolved. It is the one absolutely pure product on the market, will not burn or reiden the hair and makes the use of irons unnecessary. Scores of testimonials have come from many satisfied users. Among the stores at which it is selling rapidly are: W. J.

The Olympic games is the drawing card in 1932 and crowds from every civilized nation in the world will flock here to see the Athletes of all Races complete for these greatest of honors.

While speaking about Ruths Miss Jordan, a demure Miss of 21 summers left the middlewest to seek, not fame nor fortune but a "man". That is a "Real one," so says the "Biggler" and if our deduction is valio she just about has him. "Whom, don't esk?" After some investigation, on our own point we found that the "Biggler was correct in saying what he did about Elizabeth Payne of U. C. L. A." She's there and why. Turning the Spot on Santa Monica we focused on Miss Lottie V. White late of Imperial Valley. Caught her in a very pleasing mood (not that she could be otherwise) There's, going to be one good reason to go to the Beach this season.

We find our way to the House of Representatives through the kindly guidance of a venable old elevator operator (white) who seemed to take especial delight and price in his position, elevating it so by his attitude of mind that I am loathe to call him a mere elevator operator and think of him as in official capacity. The door keepers sit on their stools and seem to be unaware of your existence until you make the mistake of entering the door designated for Representatives families then they point you to the entrance to the Gallery where the comon herd may sit and listen. Quintessence reigns supreme here. These in the Galleries submissive to its rule, least they disturb the thought or couse the meaning of words spoken by a representative to be misconstructed Those seated below in deference to the speaker speak only in undertones an undulating wave now hushed now assertive. The speaker continues faithfully in obligato effect over all his lyrics meaningless from my point of hearing. Among those seated I note Japanese, there evidently to express his view in pushing claims oriental. All others appear of the ruling race. I strain my eyes for a particular representative, akith in blood. From my point of view those two or three dignified white haired type of men all look alike. A shock of curly snow-white hair and ruddy sun-tanned face is characteristic of them all. However my companion who is "more in the know" points one out to me-although it took Chicago to produce him he is claimed and acclaimed by all of Black America.—Our own Oscar De Priest! He sits there in the midst of the hubbub, silent and attentive. Hardly a muscle is relaxed. It does my soul good to know he is just sitting there. We take to the Streets again the Congressional library, the tomb of the unknown soldier an dother points of interest are uppermost in our minds for the moment, what, ho! The elements darkeneth, suddenly a threatening wind begins to blow, hardly before one can formulate the words, "It looks like rain." A peal of thunder reverberates so loudly as to strike dumb terror, to my western soul. Before I know whether to run or just stand still and cry. A flash of lightening cuts the darkened sky in zig zag pointed streaks of light from which the clouus roll as black mounds of smoke that swoop down with the continuous clashing of thunder-bolt. "Quick a taxi!" the terorized voice of my companion comes to me as we simultaneously hold our hats and clutch at our throats where the folds of a coat ought to be. Through the thick blackness of the square we run luckly into a taxi. Never before in my life has a taxi been so welcome, never have I rode in one quite so at east, not caring how fast the 25 cents are registering. Black Jew of Central Avenue H. Brown the black Jew of Central avenue, is doing his stuff. Right up to the minute, he is conducting a closing out sale at his popular haberdashy at 1219 Central avenue. Huge signs and mark down prices on his goods, marks the spot and Brown continues to make the avenue a place of bustle and business. Give him a break. White Dailies Use Capital N in Negro New York, April, 1.—A poll conducted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People among editors of leading white dailies throughout the United States, and book publishers, shows that sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of the use of the capital N in printing the word Negro, and that many editors and publishers have adopted this style in response to the request of the N. A. A. C. P. The first two week's replies received by post card and letter at the N. A. A. C. P., National Office, 69 Fifth Avnue, show the following startling results: Now using capital N in printing Negro, or endorsing this editorially: 114. Will use this style henceforth, according to N. A. A. C. P., request: 28. Do not use capital N: 7. Included among those who have adopted this style at the N. A. A. C. P., request are Brentano's, publishers; G. P. Putnam's Sons; Boston Evening Transcript, Albuquerque Journal, Paterson Evening News, New York Evening Post, Harvard Law Review, Cornell Law Quarterly and San Francisco News. Roscoe Conkling Bruce who has been very active in this campaign for some time, informs the N. A. A. C. P., that Houghton Mifflin Co., and the Directory of Social Agencies, published by the Charity Organization Society have also adopted the Capital N. Among the pioneers in the use of the capital N in this country should be mentioned the Standard, in New Bedford, Mass., which has used this style for fifty years, and the following publications report that they have been capitalizing the N in Negro for one or more years: South Bend Tribune, Indiana; The World Tomorrow, Louisville, Kentucky, Times; Birmingham, Connecticut; Columbus Enquirer-Sun, Georgia; Peoria Journal and Transcript, Illinois; Register and Tribune; Des Moines, Iowa; Capper's Weekly, Louisville Courier-Journal; Lowell, Mass., Courier-Citizen; Worcester, Mass., Evening Post; Louth, Minn., Herald; St. Louis Post-Dispatch; Patterson, N. J., Press-Guard; London, England, Dally Telegraph and Sunday Times; Better Times, New York, Vanity Pair; Troy, N. Y., Record; Troy Times; Elizabeth City, N. C., Independent; Harrisburg, Pa. Telegraph; Johnstown, Pa. Tribune; Columbia, S. C., State; Nashville, Tenn., Banner; Norfolk Virginia-Pilot; Richmond News-Leader; Clarksville Tlegram, West Va.; Evening Telegram, Superior, Wis.; Japanese American News, San Francisco. Besides these, the leading magazines and publishers of the country including the publisher of the Saturday Evening Post are using or have adopted this style. Seven replies to the N. A. A. C. P., from editors who do not capitalize Negro, come from Texas (3), Louisiana (1), Florida (1), Mississippi (1), and Missouri (1). These are all states with a high lynching record. MANY EDITORIALS COMMEND CAPITAL N Upwards of twenty editorials from all parts of the country commending the capital N have been received by the N. A. A. C. P., from which the following excerpts are forwarded: If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened New York, March 31—A. T. Atwater of Rome, Georgia, editor of the Rome Enterprise, has written to the N. A. A. C. P. to volunteer his assistance in helping to make a success of the Moorefield Story-Louis Marshall Memorial Campaign. "I shall be pleased to publish your strong letter sent to the Negro Press advocating the N. A. A. C. P. Memorial Campaign," writes Mr. Atwater. "In the next issue and also to do whatever I can otherwise to make it a success." Mr. Atwater is president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch and a staunch friend of its cause and work.

The phenomenon of the precious little bundle of humanity recently arrived from the Nowhere into the Here has been thought-provoking from time immemorial. The unicellular germ plasm blossoms into the multiplet organism—protoplasmic mass becomes man, and for what purpose does he adorn the earth? Though his origin and destiny unite in forming a common mystery, does his presence portend a purpose? Surely in the divine economy there are no useless efforts. The fact that things exist presuppose a use, a purpose. Law is logic; and the Cosmos moves within law-hence, it must be purposeful, rational. To say that what is the result of "the fortuitous concourse of atoms" is not sufficient heavens and all that in them is.

All are born to render mutual service. They serve a purpose. Did not Socrates and Buddha, Joan of Arc and Cromwell, all believe in their divine mission? Suns are born to shine; birds to sing, and roses to perfume the air. Nature's children all have talents to be devel- oped and used to serve a purpose. Every person is here for a reason. Beethoven drew symphonies from the skies. Cleopatra ruled an empire; and Virgil came to sing. Man and the Univers are purposeful I thought I saw the rainbow's end, I followed vainly where it led; Soon I was lost and all I saw, Was fading colors over head. I thought I would find happiness And so searched the whole world thru When I had failed, weary and sad I turned back, helplessly to you. You handled me with tact and care Never one word of love you spoke You crooned me softly till I stept And you were with me when I woke. I saw the love light in your eyes And husky was your gentle voice I knew no happiness till then And from that hour you've been my choice. —Ivp O. Reed. YOU New York April 1—That Negroes are not more submissive than whites is indicated by psychological tests conducted by Peter Cooper and reported on in-Social Forces for March, 1930. His article as summarized by the N, A. A. C. P. states that he applied the "Allport" psychological test to men and women students, both white and colored, in their respective colleges. Mr. Cooper concludes from his tests that in the particular phase of personality covered, there are no racial differences. He says: "The really significant differences are within the white and Negro groups and not between them; in fact, the differences within the group are more than fifty times as great as those between the groups. A further interesting observation is the following: that this test disproves the traditional view that the Negro is innately more submissive than the white man. The results given above show that although the differences in the means and medians of the two groups are extremely small, nevertheless the slight difference in ascendance favors the Negro." Industrial Chance for Rochester Negroes New York, March 31-Under the leadership of its president, Dr. Meyer Jacobstein, former congressman and bank president, the Rochester, N. Y., branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has entered upon a program of obtaining industrial opportunity for colored people. A report in the local white daily, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, of the branch's most recent meeting, gives the following summary: "To open the doors of opportunity in industry to every colored person in Rochester is the big task of the Rochester branch of the N. A. A. C. P. it was declared by Dr. Meyer Jacobstein, president of the branch, in opening the annual membership drive at a meeting in Mount Olive Baptist Church yesterday afternoon. "Especially the colored boys and girls who some day will be the leaders of their race, must he given the chance to participate in the City's industry Dr. Jacobstein said. A survey of the situation is being planned he added and it is hoped that it will be completed in time to bear fruit next fall. "Industry must be impressed with the fact that the colored people want to occupy and are capable of filling positions of responsibility, he went on and unless the colored people themselves have sufficient self-respect to demand their opportunities, he told his audience they never will get them." A Feature of this meeting was the presentation by the principal of Washington Junior High School of Harry Bray. Colored boy recently elected president of the High School community. New York, April 2.—Cutting off funds which were formerly appropriated by the government to the Children's Bureau, specifically for care of mothers and babies, offers a grave danger to the welfare of colored mothers and their children, according to Mrs. Florence Kelley, member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Cutting off of the funds, which were known as the Sheppard-Towner Fund, has meant a bad check to the work in behalf of reducing child mortality. Mrs. Kelley points out. "Hon. Godfrey Godwin of Minnesota introduced a bill in the House of Representatives, H. R., 10574, to re- enact the law, as it was before last June 30," writes Mrs. Kelly. "It provides that $1,240,000 shall be appropriated every year for seven years from 1980 to 1937, to be matched by the statutes and used by the health authority of each state under the guidance of the Children's Bureau. This will, if enacted, restore the Sheppard-Towner Funds under a new name. The bill is in the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce; "It is in the session and there is no time to be lost. Every one who reads this should write at once to his representative in Congress, urging enactment of this measure. Especially are colored men and women urged to do so at once. For colored death rates are higher than white ones, both of mothers and babies, from preventable CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY IN LOS ANGELES Mrs. Lillie V. Jones, Supreme Traveling Supervisor of the Supreme Circle of Friends of the World of Chicago, white on official business, in California was overtaken by her birthday, nd as a result of the same has been showered with attentions from members of the Circle and friends in this city; among which was a banquet given in her honor Thursday evening at the Burdette Cafe, Corner Fourteenth and Central Avenue.

HILL. whom a feature program, was built for the edification and enlightenment of the overflow audience that packed the hall. The object of this assembling was the culmination of a membership drive for the Supreme Circle of Friends. Among those present who occupied conspicuous places on the program were Rev. S. M. Beane, Rev. Pius, Assemblyman, F. M. Roberts, Rev. Walker Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, President of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; and Mrs. Graves. Words of cheer, congratulations and tokens of appreciation from the presidents and members of the different cities. The United States Public Health Service is trying to get all the health work back into its own hands. It has even had a bill introduced which betrays this intention. There is grave danger that mothers and children, if turned over to the Public Health Service for pre-natal care, would be a mere minor item in the multitude of its varied duties."

WASHINGTON'S LIFE STORY (BY EMMETT ASHFORD) He was born a slave in Franklin County, irginia, when, he didn't know but he surmised it to be around 1858-1859. The earliest impressions he ever had, were those of the plantation and the slave quarters, where the slaves had their quarters. His life was begun in the midst of the most miserable, desolate, and discouraging surroundings. He was born in a typical log cabin, about fourteen by sixteen feet square. In this cabin he lived with his mother and a brother and sister till after the Civil War when they were all decolored free. Of his family tree, in the slave quarters he often heard whispered conversations of the sufferings of slaves on the ships coming from Africa, no doubt his mother being one. In the days of slavery, not much attention was given to family records or family history that is, black family records. The cabin was not only our living quarters, but it was the kitchen for the plantation, and his mother was the plantation cook. The cabin was without glass windows, it only had openings in the side which to let in the sunlight, also the cold, chilly winter air. There was a door to the cabin—that is something called a door, which was too small, and made the cabin quite uncomfortable. In addition to these openings was a "cat hole" in the lower right hand corner of the room which was made to let the cat out. There was no wooden floor in the cabin, but the naked earth was used as a floor. In the middle of the floor was a deep opening covered with borads and used to store sweet potatoes. There was no cooking stove in the plantation. All the cooking was done in an open fireplace in the cabin. While the poorly built cabin caused them to suffer from cold in the winter and heat in the summer was trying. (To be continued in next issue) PIANO ACADEMY RECITAL A SUCCESS The mem's glee club of the First Baptist Church at 53rd and Holmes Ave. presented the Wilkin's Piano Academy in recital before a crowded house. The audience was both enthusiastic and appreciative. The church is begging to have the program repeated. This represents a series of programs to be given by the School as a preliminary or introduction to a gigantic Educational Building Fund drive by Prof. Wilkins and some of our leading and most prominent citizens. Full particulars will be related later. The program will be excellently rendered by pupils of Mrs. Sheloma Brewster, Lurille Blaychettai, Gilbert F. Allen and Prof Wilkins. The little Smock boy and Bessie Williams Done, violin pupil played a beautiful violin selection, Wimired Whige gave a fine dramatic reading, T. Engene Estes, Gilbert F. Allen and Prof Wilkins proved a sensation with the rendition of their piano solos. The feature of the program was the rendition of several double duets and quartets for two pianos 8 hands, directed by Prof Wilkins. Since this recital there are four churches trying to sign Prof. Wilkins for programs. SUPERIOR COURT HEARINGS James W. Taylor, bound over to Superior Court for trial on manslaughter as an outgrowth of a preliminary hearing recently on running over and killing little Walter Howkins in a school zone on Feb. 4 last, will go to trial on April 10 Dept. 25. Attorney Gault is representing Taylor. Morris Harris alleged famous bunko man will go to trial April 8 in Dept. 25 on charges of Grand Theft. Ed Brodley, accused of an alleged beating of his wife, Dr. Anna Mae Williams and causing her death will go to trial on murder on April 2, Dept. 23. Attorney Orbison and Johnson are representing the defendant. The attack on Dr. Williams is considered by authorities as being one of the most brutal and atrocious in local criminal annuals. MOTION PICTURE OF CONGREGATION TAKEN AT MORNING SERVICES The Rev. James L. Washington, Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church of New York City for the last seven years will be the Evening preacher at Wesley Chapel this Sunday at 7:30 o'clock. Doctor Washington is one of the greatest evangelistic preachers of the race being a successor of the late Dr. C. T. Walker as pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church. Do not miss hearing this great pastor and preacher. Wesley is out to pass the 500 mark in Communications this Sunday and break the record of 456 which has stood for several years. An attractive feature of the services will be the motion picture of the congregation leaving the Edifice will be taken. All our members are expected to be in the picture. Our friends are welcome also. "Wherever there is a closed door there is a knocking Christ." This theme ran through the sermon of Rev. F. Albert Moore on Sunday, March 9th. The pastor weaved a very forceful and interesting discourse around this thought. The Waiting Christ, the Closed Door, the Open Door, the Entrance and The Feast—Each step of the subject discussed in order and climaxed by a touching appeal that all hearts be opened to the knocking Christ. Sunday March 16th, was Young People's Day. The young people took charge with Mr. Darby Jones as Master of Ceremonies in the morning and Sermon by Sue Prioleau. In the evening Miss Simmie Etta Johnson presided with -a speech by Ernie Wilson. A musical program in connection with the rest of the service was rendered by the young people in the evening and they conducted themselves in such a way as to impress all who enjoyed the days program that these youngsters are thoroughly competent to step into the places of their elders. The feature of the days services on Sunday, March 23rd, was the gala program arranged and presented by Mrs. Hazel Whitaker. It is impossible to mention all of the numbers contributed and to do justice to all. We may say that some of the most prominent teachers, singers and speakers were performers. Attorney Leon Whitaker acted as master of ceremonies. Prof. John A. Gray gave a very interesting and instructive talk on "Ensemble Art" outlining very clearly the meaning and progress of this form of music. A capacity house was enthusiastic over the evening's entertainment. Rev Moore is giving a series of sermons leading up to the Easter service. Sunday morning, March 23rd, the subject was "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". On Sunday morning, March 30th he delivered an excellent message on the theme, "Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise". These famous sayings of Jesus while on the Cross have taken on new meaning: as they are discussed by Rev. Moore. All of the unselfishness of the Savior, the pathos of this touching scene, coupled with the great lessons in fortitude, faith and patience is being brought out in Rev. Moore's treatment of these vital subjects. Those who follow his sermons through the Easter service cannot fail to view with deeper meaning the story of the death and resurrection of Christ.

FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1930 Mountains, advertised the meeting so thoroughly that despite falling snow members of both races came to the state armory from as far away as Colorado Springs and Pueblo. CANON CITY, COLORADO, SET ORGANIZATION RECORD New York, April 1—Despite falling snow, the seventy-five colored residents of Cannon City, Colorado, who for ten years have been organized into a branch of the N.

With Dempsey and Tunney both out, it has only been hitting on two cylinders. SOME PEOPLE ARE INCLINED TO LOOR UPON Neil Clisby as just lamb to be fed to Carnera the Venetian Bear; to go in and out quickly without fighting. But so far all of the "California Thunderbolt" battles have been on the Up and Up. When he loses, but goes down with colors flying. The first time he is known to deliberately throw a fight he may look for a lambasting by the bitter pen, of this news hound and a lot of others, through out the country, whether they know him or not. Colored fans would rather see their ring heroes pass out with their boots on than be wafted away on a silken pillow stuffed with $1,000 bills, for take a "DIVE" We want fighters, not Annette Kellermans. LEONARD PORTER, weighing 150 and solid as a rock has been up at Soper's Ranch training with Armand Santiago. Porter has been advancing by leaps and bounds under the wise wing of Jimmy Murry. LIGHTINING DAVIS is back in harness again, and promises to give as good account of himself as when he used to be a head liner at Culver City and other good arenas.

In case you are rusty on your Scripture this verse is quoted from the book of Samuel in the Bible telling of that historical duel when the little Shepherd boy, David, who later became king, stood up to the giant Goliath and "pot shotted" hi mdown to his level. For "believe it or not" that is what may happen next Tuesday night when thrill seeking fans pack the Olympic Auditorium to see Neil Clisby meet Primo Carrera. All over the country crowds have flocked to see the towering Italian who is proving himself to be a good fighter as well as the biggest pugilist in the world with the added glamor of being a foreigner. copped this real plum, was at a loss to find a man near Carnera's size who could box. Goddrey was considered but Daugherty wanted the city hall tower, besides the fans were none too One after another good heavyweights have lasted only a round or two before the ham like fists of the man-mountain for unlike Firpo he can box and is fast on his feet. Montgomery, Chuck Wiggins, Ace Clark, Zavita, and others have taken the count, until with Mc Auliff in Denver last week, thirteen victims had piled up around $150,000 for the visitor from Mussolini's country. The best fight of all was made by Ace Clark at Philadelphia who had him beaten blinded and staggering for six rounds but who was knocked out in the seventh during a fierce rally by Primo. This was the first time he ever had to "take em," but he showed that he could, which makes him really a dangerous threat in heavyweight ranks. It is rufured that Dempsey is training to meet him in September for the vacated championship of the world. In searching about for a suitable opponent the Olympic Auditorium which JACK MCVEY famous colored fighter has promised to meet the winner between Wesley Ketchell, and Joe Ketchell, fighting at Frisco this week. JOHNNY FORBES famous trainer and manager is now trainee for the Chirchill stables. SAMMY JACKSON is the handsomest fighter in the ring. But he isn't afraid of getting his map mussed up, but wades in and trades punches to toe to toe. That is what makes him a great welter championship prospect.

Around St. Louis, Mo. may be found "Troublesome Jonds" "Six Second Allen" "Billy Leden" "Glen Huckabee" and some busy guy called "Bozo" All these are colored boys. If they can fight with names like those hung on them they must be demons. De Glais skating rinks copied this real plum, was at a loss to find a man near Carnera's size who could box. Godfrey was considered but Daughtery wanted the city hall tower, besides the fans were none too hot for Godfrey's foul tactics. So they fell back on Neil Clisby the best man in this neck of the wilderness or a whole lot of other necks. Appropriately named the "California Thunderbolt" Neil who untyf stands 5 feet 10 inches moves in and out like lightning and has toppled over big fellows like Sam Baker, Mack House and others in less than a round. Fans concede him a chance to do the same to Carrera, judging from what they saw him do to giant George Godfrey at the Olympic, when he repeatedly leveled on the big 240 pounder's chin for six rounds winning them all straight. He had to leap up like a basket ball player to do it but he hit George with everything but the microphone till his manager disgustedly stormed out from the ringside yelling "you big bum, I'm through with you, the reporters will throw typewriters at you tomorrow. To save his job Godfrey got busy, with the foul rabbit punch and won but without it, there would have been a different story. Clisby will hit Carrera the same way and perhaps easier because the Italian is not as much inclined to the hugging, holding tactics as the fading "Shadow of Liepgrville, so if he stays from under cover for an instant the "Bolt" from Riverside will hit him thats all. A splendid supporting card has been lined up by matchmaker Wadhams and it is needless to predict anything less than a sell-out. Residing in rooms at the Alexanderia containing a specially built nine foot bed; Carrera is doing his training at the Main Street Athletic Club before crowds each day. Nickerson Beats Two Schools for Riis In a three cornered battle in the track and field meet held on Jacob iii field last Friday Bell High and Banning High were swamped by the 66 1-2 points piled up by Riis High. These were made possible by the sterling work of Nickerson sensational colored sprint flash, who was the big shot of the day, winning every event in which he participated. He won the hundred yard dash in 10.1 and later flew down the track leading the field in the furlong at 22.8. Nate George Crowds World's Record Out at Whittier College Nate George the chunky colored speed demon who caused such a sensation in the Sporting world by heating Wykoff and other world famous stars in the last Junior Olympics, is still the pride of that school. Last week George added more laurels in his fame by running the hundred bash in % of a minute of the world's record. He also came near equalling it in the 220. At Field Meet If his own personal triumphs can make sufficient recompense for his school's loss then the defeat of Jefferson High School at the hands of Manual Arts last Friday was not quite so disheartening to Louie Cormichael colored star of the track team. For Louis was the hero of the day and if the performance of his white team maties could only have equalled his instead of the score being Manual 59 Jeff, 45, the tables would have been turned. Running like a brown grey hound and surprising even his staunchest supporters the colored Mercury flashed into the tape first in the 100 yard dash, first in the 440 and his work in the relay won for his alma mater. Manual won the 880, 120 yd high hurdles, the 220, the 120 yd low hurdle the mile run, and the shot put. Jefferson won the pole vault and broad jump in addition to the events won by Carmichael. These were as follows: 100-yard dash—Carmichael (J), first; Toppins (J) second; Osburn (M) third—Time, 10.2. 440-yard run—Carmichael (J), first; Satterfield (M), second; Logue (J), third—Time, 52. Relay—Won. by Jefferson (Time 2:47. S. (Short track.) EVERYBODY SAYS HE WON EVERYBODY SAYS HE WON Even the referee does not believe that YOUNG JACK THOMPSON (above) deserved a loss chalked against him in his battle with McLarnin- ast week. Probably the referee bet on the match. Western fans are all for Jack The first municipal track meet of the 1930 season will take place Saturday, April 5, at the Hazard Playground, when men in the surrounding community compete in a series of six track and four field events. The meet will be open only to athletes who have not competed for any high school, college, or major athletic club, thus giving many unknowns a chance to show what they can do. Other track and field carnivals of this type will be held later on this year, acording to plans of the municipal sports division of the Los Angeles Playground Department. GRRIFFITH TENNIS TOURNEY IN FINALS Final matches in the Griffith Playground Municipal Tennis Club tournament at the playground courts will be held Sunday.

Back home in his back yard, Neil Cli by used to train to sock big fellows. He will try Carnera's chin at the Olympic next Tuesday night. REFEREE'S JUDGMENT DOUBTED IN THE THOMPSON McLARIN BATTLE With local fight fans and devoted friends of Young Jack Thompson listening in on the radio and waiting at telegraph and long distance telephone offices for news from Madison Square Garden last Friday, March 28, interest was as great here as if they were at the ringside while Jack fought Jimmie Mc Larnin. Jack is very popular here for though partly raised in San Francisco, he came up in the local arenas, boxing at the Old Assembly, run by colored promoters in his first main event, Pasadena, the Main Street, and other small clubs were scenes of his steady rapid rise until he suddenly burst into main event class at the Olympic Auditorium here and Dreainlano Rink at Frisco. His mother father and two sisters live here, one of them, Cleo by name being a member of the "Four Covans" famous dance team. Prep Schools Ready For Baseball Season Future big leaguers of both the white and colored national leagues may be seen during the Spring when the VERDICT UNSATISFACTORY Knowing Thompson's style of battling, that it was a biased decision that caused the ten round verdict to be given Mc Larnin, when the returns showed the colored boy had done the most damage to the Irish boy. Newspaper reports clearly relate, that when Thompson had Jimmy badly cut and almost out in the fifth, the white boy confined his fighting in the sixth, sevelight cautious jabs to the face. Whereas everyone knows that Jack's hooks and jabs although darting like a serpent's strike are always terrific and punishing so there seems to be no chance of Mc Larnin having scored the most direct hits in the last four rounds. Betting odds favoring Mc Larnin at 2 to 1 is locally considered to have influenced the verdict. Olympic Auditorium promoters hope to rematch them here in a big out-door shot at Wrigley Field. Prep Schools Ready For Baseball Season Future big leaguers of both the white and colored national leagues may be seen during the Spring when the baseball teams from the various High Schools cross bats.
