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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

TESSIE HARRIS—Sweet pensive voiced soft eyed, oriole who made "Thunderbolt," "Lady Fare" and other big pictures worth while actually is so modest as to avoid interviews. 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.

JUNIOR SPORTS ACTIVITIES
BY ART HAMILTON
The "Y" Varsity 135 pound team went to Long Beach last Saturday and came back home with the Beach Towns scap tied to its belt. 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.

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."

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. During the height of his career Mack won 15 straight fights, by one round knock-outs.
He is managed by Watson Burns former manager, and trainer of Jack Johnson.

MR. ROBERT B. ROBINSON, Jr. commercial and social news, as well as religious and other entertainments of original nature. This will also relieve certain labor conditions which now exist." 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.

On the jaunt to Pamona he was accompanied by Dr. Vada Somerville and Mrs. J. M. Scott. Pomona is one of California's most beautiful college towns, nestled beneath orange blossoms, breathing the atmosphere of culture and refinement. It is stated that both faculty and students vied in welcoming Doctor Pickens whose message was one of world-wide interest.

LIBERTY BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION (Continued From Page One) SIX YEARS
Six years of trials—Six years of blood and tears, six years of sacrifices and the pioneers in the genius of finance, present to the inhabitants of this land of sunshine and flowers, the abstract of attainment and concrete accomplishments which proclaim the progress of the black people of the United States as worthy indeed to go forth and make for ourselves a niche in this mighty fabric of building as it were, an empire in the desert wastes of a mighty land.
This company has not only a success for its members but has met its claims and stands as a monument reflecting from its great height, the genius of a race, which has been a more potential influence in moulding sentiment and opening avenues than anything which has ever come forth in this section.
FACTS AND FIGURES
Every assertion which I have made is backed up by facts, which are brazed upon history's pages. The growth of resources is as follows March, 1924 it started with a capital of $16,302,05; in 1925, $78,566,74; in 1926 $81,277,56; in 1927 $180,082,04; in 1928, $227,955,98 and in 1929 to 1930 over $300,000. Mr. Floyd Coxington delivered a very illuminating and pleasing address which was most timely and highly appreciated by all. Mr. L. M. Blodgett president of the company presided, Mr. H. Hartley Jones the very efficient secretary of the company read the financial statements. At the conclusion of the program the vast crowd was invited to the basement where a rich and rare portion of refreshments was served to all with the complements of the company.
DR. 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

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.
William Pickens is one of the best educated men among both Negroes and whites in the country.

Madam chairman, honored guests, officers and members of the different units of the Republican Study Club and friends. 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.

Dunbar Hotel Changes Management
Effective on April 1st the Dunbar Hotel went under the management of Mr. H. C. Edmonds, well known and recognized as an expert in this line of effort and frenceforthe patrons of the Dunbar are certain to receive the very best service which it is possible to give in a first-class hostelery.
Mr. Edmonds was the original manager of this hotel when its doors were thrown open to the public. 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. The dining room is to be re-opened by an experienced caterer and henceforth the Dunbar will take on new life and will be the real center of both business and social activity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 program was sponsored by Mrs. Wm. H. Roberts.
Mrs. Roberts attended the secretaries' group meeting at Glendale Tuesday; she is the Tasadena secretary of the women's Home Missionary society of Scott M. E. Church. This church is the only Negro Church in the Pasadena district that is a member of the Secretaries Conference.
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.

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.

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.

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

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."

Discuss Insurance ©
Bx-President Coolidge said: .*
|| “There is no argument against! the
taking of Life insurance, * * *
“Our government lias given close at
tention to the insurance companies
&nd they)are on so sure @ foundation
that it fs in substance a guaranty
method of our people.” +
Similarly, we feel that there is no
argument, against the taking“ Life
isurance in our own. colored .owned
anck managed Life insurance. com-
seeking Life insurance _ protection.
Panies on the paxt of any \person
and particularly our own_people.
These companies’ must meet the re-
quiremengs of-the same government
supervision that the largest . and
strongest ‘companies must meet. They
are therefore safe. In addition, they
offer to dur own people employment
as agents, clerks, stenographers, book:
keepers, menagers and medical’ exam-
iners which ¢ther companies do not
offer.
The Golden State Tnsurance Com-
pany 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 givgi employment 'to more than’
one hundred and: twenty-five persons |
of ouy own ‘group, and these em-
ployees are not limited in advance-|
ment by the color of their skins, but |
only by their own ability to succeed.
_ Speaking on insurance, Congress.
man Oscar DePriest had the follow-
ing to say: |
“Tam a frm believer in Lite in-
surance, and the best evidence of
that belief is the fact that I carry 2
good tine. 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 busl-|
ness necessity, When the husband—|
iead of a family—dies and his source
will suffer unless provision is made
‘or an artificial “husband” to take the
place of the one who ‘has gone on. A
man earning a salary of $2,400 a year
ind providing for his family on that
um, represents the earning on a capl-
al of $40,000.00. Wife and children
vould be in an embarrassing position
vith this income cut off. Business
men at times need funds, which can
e raised on adequate Life insurance
ollateral. Large obligations coming ||
ue can be met by 10-year or 15-year |
olicies payable at the end of given]:
eriods. I would not be without Life |
nsurance, and recommend it most i
ighly to the young man or woman|
‘ho-is attempting ta. shape out a suc-| {
essful future."--Oscar DePriest. ;

RADIO SONG DRAMA
) | A spirited.and tuneful drama that
lclearln shows the possibilities of the
| new-form musical film ‘entertainment
is the Radio Picthre “Street Girt,”
which ‘opens at the Gayet'y theater!
‘The’ pictire is distinctive in that
the movement’ of the Story and the
musical sequencess are naturally de-
pendedt and correlated.
Betty ‘Compson. who bas reached
new heights through the medium of
talking pictures, heads the cast of well
Known players. This talented star
[possesses rich, sweet voice and a
wealth of dramatic power. Her role
in Street Girl is regarded as the great-
| est of Her career. 1
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 js finally recognized after an un-
promising start. Success’ obtains for
thema night club of their own after
a <seies of disheartening experiences.
Miss Compson is well qualified to play
this particular part. jor’ she ‘started
her professional career as a_violinist
on a western vaudeville circuit.
COLORFUL BACKGROUND
“Street Girl” was adapted from W.
Carey Wonderiv's story, “The Vien-
nese Charmer,” a dramatic and real
istic tale ot that Httle known, “but in-
tensely human district, New York's
“Little Hungary! Jane Murfin wrote
the, dialogue, and through it brought
a.poignant and authentic transcription
‘Qf Hie ia that section.
_eaturea in support of Miss Comp-
son_is John Harron. whose perfor-
‘mance marks him as one of the most
actomplished- of those stars of the
sifent acryen who ‘have successfully
made the | change to dialog pictures.
Cotupted with the tense drama of
“Street. Girl” is sparkling comedy
furnished ‘by Jack Oagie, Ned “Sparks
and Joseph Cawthorn, three of the
screen's .best comics.
Seldom canta picture claim four dis-
tinct sohg hits, but Sidney Clare and
Oscar Levant, well-known Broadway
song-writing term, ‘have composed a
quartet of popular. numbers for
Stréet Girl that prhmise to gain nat
ional reeegnition. “My Dreams Mem
ory”; “Brokes Up Tune,” a “hot” step-
ping nember' which, has orginated in
the new “Broken Up” dance “Lov-
able ana Sweet,” and “Prince of Good
Fellows? contain all the elements that
go to make up poplilar hits.

'And of course it promises well for the future of race relations in southern states to find friendly publishers there.' Providence, R. I., Journal: "The matter is an interesting one and it should be regarded earnestly by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. There is no reason for opposing the desired capitalization. Inasmuch as 'Negro' is the correct form and 'negro' is incorrect, there is good reason for a general compliance with the organization's request."
Macon, Ga., Telegraph: "The N. A. A. C. P., announced this week—not without pride, it is to be imagined—the names of a number of newspapers and magazines, a number of them from the South, that have adopted the use of the capital N in the word Negro * * * The Telegraph used the small letter for a great many years, but for several years now it has been using the capital letter, because there is no good argument against its use."

THE BIRTH OF A SUCCESSFUL CHILD
We recover our strength of limb, after descending those memorable stairways from the dome of the nations capitol, and with its return our purpose to see all we can reasserts itself. 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.

"There is a persuasion in the soul of man that he is here, for cause, that he was put down in this place by the Creator to do the work for which He inspires him - - - - (Emerson.)
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. Gaseous substances gave birth to planets; moons and comets make their appearance in obedience to the Divine

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.

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

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."

His life, was pegun in the midst o}
the ngpst miserable, desolate, and dis-
fouraging surroundings. He was born
in a typical log cabin, about fourteen
by sixteen, feet gauave; ” In-thig. cabin
he lived with his mother and a brother
and sister {ill after the Civil War when
they were all-ceolared free. Of his
family, tree, inthe slave quarters he
often heard whispered conversations
of the sufferings of slaves on the ships

The. cabin wag not only, our living
quarters, Dut it! was. the. kitchen for
the plantation, and his mréther was the
plantation cook.’ ‘The cabin was with-
out glass' Sino only had openings
in the side which ¢9 let:in the sunlight;
also thé cold, chifly winter air. There
was a door to the cabin—that is some-
thing called'a door, which was too
smgll, and made: the cabin quite un-
comfortable." ~In’ addition to. these
openings was a “‘cat hole” in: the low-
er 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 cotaee stove in the plantation.
All-the cooking was done in an open
fireplace in the cabin. While the poor-

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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
