I. B. P. O. E. W. CONVENTION ADJOURNS SAN DIEGO Bares Truth About Texas Mob Talk economy—well some of the brand new dictators of this community have not been still long enough to know what it's all about in Los Angeles. Those of us who have been here twenty, thirty or fifty years know something about the growth and development of this city. From the beginning of our business career, we have stood on the watch tower of time and noted the rapid inflow of our own people into this community, and as they come, we also note the industrial development in this section with an eye single as to what slice of the industrial pie will be handed over to our group, most of whom have money enough to come to California, still another group who have enough to come on and get settled after they are here but practically no retired capitalists who have investments sufficient to keep them basking in the sunshine without further anxiety as to future employment. Then the question that has lingered in our mind for the past twenty years has been, "What shall we do for ourselves?" We are too humble in spirit to attempt to dictate for only in a small way we have demonstrated with others who think and feel as we do about our industrial placement, so as yet we have no real solution to offer. However, little more than a month ago a body of forward-looking women started a movement by which we mean to attempt at least to unlose the chains that hold us fast as we sleep at our self-imposed economic posts. On that occasion, in silent parade, the banners on our cars spoke our varied sentiments and at that first meeting place we diagnosed our economic cancer and started out to find a cure. Many helpful suggestions were offered at this first meeting as well as at the second which took place a month later. It was gleaned that there was an earnest desire on the part of those present to get together in a harmonious understanding as to how we shall become a part of the great industrial fabric that rules the world and share in the profits accrued therefrom. The problem of economic freedom and industrial advancement, as we see it, does not mean that we are out to tear down the industrial structure erected by those who have preceded us on the journey—those who built on dead men's bones are short-lived—rather our desire is to measure and to meet—measure our God-given talents with our fellows and meet them on an equal basis industrially. "We can always discuss best the thing we know most about, in the printing game, for instance, all the machinery used is manufactured by white men and in most cases black men are not permitted to operate or even work on the most intricate models unless they buy them. And this condition is not only true in the printing profession but likewise in many other lines, for instance, a black surgeon is not always welcome in the average hospital where the most modern instruments for operating are found, and many other like examples might be offered if we had time and space; but the truth we wish to drive home is this, when we build print shops and hospitals as well equipped or better than the other fellow's there will be no further segregation and elimination but a common ground on which men meet in pursuit of a common truth. The average printing and publishing establishment in this and other large cities, owned and controlled by Negroes, make it possible for Negroes to work in certain lines and on certain machines denied them by others; and yet these people who pioneer in this effort are making a desperate struggle to win because of the fact that they have always to battle that style of print shop which in actuality corresponds to the man with a white shirt bosom in which there is no back, for he carries the sign on his window. "Printing and Publishing," but in reality is prepared to do nothing other than garner in the sheaves and (Continued On Twelve) If Not Fitts—Who? For our particular group and who is the proper man to support for chief executive of this great Sovereign State—We have no inclination to do other than call your attention to the above caption. IF NOT FITTS—WHO? The reason for the query comes from the fact. we have been a close observer of things political for the past 20 years. We have fought for and prayed for officials who would recognize every class of citizen in the affairs of government—We have watched Mayor Rolph who succeeded Mayor McCarty in the city of San Francisco. He found several of our group holding fair positions, which as tax payers and voters was right. Not for long however under Mayor Rolph and even unto this day NOT ONE of our group is represented among the thousands 'who hold positions under Mayor Rolph. We contend the genial Mayor is fine and a genial man to meet will pat you on the back and make you feel bully, for the time being and that's all—He has been patting the San Francisco's boys on the back for 18 years, that act fails absolutely to get us anywhere. We shall continue this query on down the line and back up our assertion. IF NOT FITTS—WHO? Court Declares He Must Live the "Thin" Life With Italian Bride By A. N. P. Boston, Mass., May 28—William F. Russell, brown-skin Adonis, and his wife, an Italian beauty, must devise ways and means to live within the bonds, of $23 per week. This was decreed in Roxbury Court Wednesday when the husband was hauled before Judge Palmer to answer non-support charges on complaint of Mrs. Lorena Terry, his mother-in-law by a former marriage. The case dates back to February, 1929, when there were cross bills for divorce filed by both Russell and his former wife. At that time, a divorce was granted to Russell. Custody of their two children, was given to the mother of Mrs. Russell. An order was then made for Russell to pay $10 weekly to Mrs. Terry for the children's support. Shortly after the divorce became absolute, Russell fell in violent love with and married, the Italian beauty and according to testimony, he forthwith got behind in his $10 payments. Russell claimed he was only earning $33 a week and was doing his best to keep up his payments, but because of his remarriage was unable so to go. Quarrel Over Girl Results Seriously By: A.N.P. By: A.N.P. NEW ORLEANS, La. May 28— It will be sometime before Charles Gibson will monkey around another man's girl 'cause he is in the hospital suffering from a bullet wound in his stomach inflicted by Daniel Ree, whom the police are making a gum-shoe search for. It happened this way: Charles and Daniel were in love with the same little girl—a case of puppy love on the three sides. Charles was warned to keep away, but he didn't. Now the physicians are probing for the bullet and his chances for recovery are very slight. The girl has nothing to say on the matter. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MAY 30. 1930 MRS.

Take San Diego By Storm Last Sunday, May 25th will ever remain a memorable occasion by the citizens of San Diego as well as the visiting followers of the antertered herd who came to participate in the opening session of the second annual state convention of the fast stepping organization. GATHERING OF THE KLAN The Douglas Hotel which had been designated as the headquarters of the body; both in its lobby and on the outside was a sething mass of humanity not unlike that attendant upon one of the old time political conventions. The streets as well as hotel were appropriately decorated for the occasion, with the American Flag and Elks colors predominating. LONG LINE OF MARCH Promptly at 2 n. m., the line of march was formed from the Douglas Hotel and proceeded from that point through the business district out to the A. M. E. Zion church on 32nd street. It was estimated there were one thousand in line. The Golden West Lodge band of Los Angeles, headed the parade followed by the far famed drill team of the same Lodge, and as these two bodies one playing martial airs and the other executing intricate maneuvers, all along the line of march they were greeted with enthusiastic applause. DAUGHTER ELKS Following the band, drill team and members, came the Daughter Elks, who in immaculate white presented the proper setting for San Diego's greatest fraternal demonstration. Arriving at the A. M. E. Zion church, the annual sermon and exercises incident thereto were enacted. A very appropriate program was rendered. Rev. Simpson delivered the sermon. Several other brothers were called upon representing the various sections of the Jurisdiction REPUBLIC OF MEXICO REPRESENTED A feature of this State Convention different perhaps to any other fraternal organization in the country is the presence of a full delegation from one of the Lodges in the Republic of Mexico. They represented a Lodge at Tia Juana. They are intelligent to a high degree and spoke English fluently. The session attracted quite a great number from all over the Jurisdiction. All of the hotels and every available rooming house were reported filled to capacity. SESSION OPENED MONDAY At 10:30 Monday morning State President Eugene Sorrell called the State Convention to order. A temporary organization was effected, Credential Committee appointed and recessed to give the committee time to make out its report. Monday afternoon the committee reported upon its membership and the real work of the Convention was taken up. The Convention adjourned to meet at 10 a. m. Tuesday. GRAND BALL MONDAY NIGHT Monday evening was the occasion event Monday was the occasion of the grand ball and of course the event came off in the greatest style and manner that the wildest imagination could conjure. The beautiful ball room of Balboa hall was decorated with beauty and grandeur. The ladies were there in beauty and most fashionably gowned. The Elks were there in their resplendent uniform and the music most entrancing indeed wafted forth on the air as the throng danced until the midnight hour, when all declared it the greatest and grandest affair ever held in Southern California. SESSIONS RESUMED Tuesday was another day of action for the grand session which closed Toothless Dog Clears Master Compton—"Dat dog is $8^{2}$ year old and ain't got no teeth judge." avowed Hobart Smith in winning a verdict of not guilty today from Justice of the Peace Irving P. Austin on charges of maintaining a public nuisance at his home at 118 Blackwell street Springdale. The Negro population of the neighborhood was well represented at the trial here today and included R. O. Weems, complaining witness. Weems and others offered evidence that Smith had been keeping fourteen dogs on his place and that they disturbed the neighborhood, running about the street and snapping at children. Smith denied he had more than six dogs on his place at any time and declared that to please his neighbors he had reduced the number to two of dwarced age. He related that the bulldog accused of causing so much trouble had reached a senile age and was toothless. After his promises not to increase the number of canines again the crowd left the courtroom, both the complainant and the defendant expressing satisfaction. Attorney Louis K. Beeks, Negro defended Smith. Attorney Moves Offices Attorney Lewis K. Beeks who formerly enjoyed an extensive practice at Washington and Central, has on account of the remodeling of the Elks Building, moved his offices to 9th and Central in the Woods Block, where he is better able to serve his clients owing to a larger suite of four spacious and beautifully furnished rooms. The new office address is 851 1/2 Soo Central Avenue.—Phone TUcker 6507 Woman Gets 90 Days on Road By: A.N.P. By: A.N.P.

Saves Life of White Boy By A. N. P. Meridian, Miss., May 28. The bravery and heroism of a 14-year-old colored boy saved the life of a 12-year-old white boy, when the latter was near drowning in Sowahe Creek, having been swept from his feet by the swift current of the stream while in bathing. The lad, whose chance of rescue was almost given up as hopeless by a number of people who witnessed the heroic struggle of the colored boy, was Edwin Clifton, 12-year-old son of Mrs. Clifton. The hero of the daring rescue was Lucius Lee. with the election of the following officers for the ensuing year: Eugene Sorrell, Los Angeles, President; W. M. Galbrath, first vice-president; Chas. S.

We must press on in the battling looking neither to the right, left, nor behind us, we can only look straight ahead to gain the height of success. Men and women who have individually accomplished things are now banding themselves collectively with their genius in the battle for advancement and final victory for our cause. The sycophant, neer do wells, those who neither sow nor reap cannot prevail against the battle cry of progress. We are on our way and will brook no interference in blocking the path of advancement. The people have therefore massed their forces as evidenced by the enthusiasm at the great rally on last Sunday and will neither tire nor become weary until the banner of triumph floats over the battlements, behind which rests the well earned victory for Economic Freedom. In the meantime let every forward looking and progressive member of our group think seriously and intelligently and enroll in the army fighting for our Second Emancipation. Denied License to Wed Young Couple Gets Into Trouble Denied License to Wed Young Couple Gets Into Trouble By A. N. P. PROVIDENCE, R. L. May 28—On a serious charge, involving a 15-year-old white girl, Howard Douglas, 21, a colored youth, was found probably guilty after a short trial in District Court here last Tuesday, and was held to the Grand Jury in $1,000 bail. Testimony at the trial that Douglas and the girl some time ago, had sought a marriage license, but for some reason failed to obtain it. Hence, they lived together secretly. Tiring of this life, the young couple again sought a marriage license but were arrested at the lictnse bureau in the City Hall when police responded to a call from a clerk who did not believe the girl was old enough to marry. The girl admitted her minority, but emphatically stated her willingness to marry her colored swettheart. Colored Women Entertained by Mrs. Rockefeller By: A.N.P. NEW YORK, May 28—Prominent colored women, members of the national Association of Colored Women, who are en route to the quinquennial of the International Council of the Women of the World, to be held at Vienna, Austria. May 26 to June 6 were guests at an interracial luncheon tendered by Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., at the International House on last Wednesday. The luncheon was arranged as a farewell to the women who will attend the Council, and was attended by twenty-five colored women and twenty-five white women. It was one of the most representative gathering of white and colored women ever to meet here to discuss interracial co-operation. (For The Associated Negro Press) Mr. Dunjee is the fearless and brilliant editor of the Black Dispatch, published at Oklahoma City, Okla. when news of the Sherman lynching reached Oklahoma City, a few hundred miles away, Editor Dunjee leaped into his automobile, and, in person, drove to the scene of the lynching. The following is one of the first-hands which he has written for the Associated Negro Press. Oklahoma City, May 28.—(Roscoe Dunjee for the Associated Negro Press.) There was an interesting, instructive, and very helpful experience in front of me Sunday morning as my car whirled across the Arbuckle mountains and down into the valley of the Red River, in my ride to Sherman, Texas, and the hell heaped upon defenseless Negroes in the name or white womanhood. I have never been able to feel that the white dailies told the truth about this character of disorder. I knew of the painted lies told about Elaine, and the distortion of fact following the Tulsa riot. I believe that the disclosures, resulting from my visit to Sherman are helpful to Negroes everywhere, because I have been able to tear away the usual smoke screen of white propaganda and permit black folk, as well as white folk, to gaze upon the bare truth. I wanted, too, to look in the faces of white folk, when the leer of violence and hate hangs heavy in their faces. I wanted to gaze also upon my own in the moment of terror, when the tongue is inarticulate and chaps reighs. One can never know what the Negro suffers under such conditions unless he moves into the experience with him, and one can never know of the kindly white hearts which glow in sympathy for black folk, unless he contacts and touches white conscience in that same atmosphere. Measured by such a standard, the night and the half day spent in Sherman was interesting, instructive, and helpful. For instance, there is no question about there being a dispute between the Negro, George Hughes, and his employer, Atnip. Before law and order had fully broken down, we have it from the lips of fully a dozen blacks that white men stood on the streets openly stating that the trouble was the result of the white man's refusal to pay the black man for three weeks labor. These friendly whites are, of course, now silenced because of fear or social ostracism. The mob spirit would not at the present mo (Continued On Page Eight) The members of the party were Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart, president of the National Association of Colored Women; Miss Hallie Q. Brown, honorary president of the N. A. C.; Mrs. H. T. Miller, of Yazoo City, Miss.; Mrs. L. C. Jefferson of Vicksburg Miss.; Mrs. Cora M. Allen, of Shreveport, La.; Mrs. S. Joe Brown, of Des Moines, Ia.; Miss Meta Pelham of Detroit, Mich.; Miss Jane Hunter of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. Mollie Weaver Green of Muyskogee, Okla.; and Mrs. L. O. Spaulding of Charleston, W. Va. Mrs. Stewart made an address in which she told of the work that colored women are doing throughout the country along business and professional lines. Mrs. Frances P. Parks, pres. of the National Council, paid a highribute to the work of colored women in America. After the luncheon the women were shown through the new Riverside Church, where they were also guests at tea. The party will make a seven weeks tour of Europe, in which they will visit London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and the Passion Play at Obermergau. The party attended a performance of "Green Pastures." They sailed on the Ile de France last Thursday evening. Others present at the luncheon were Mrs. Lillian Alexander, Miss Eva D. Bowles, Mrs. Clare Bruce, Mrs. Helen Curtis, Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes, Mrs. Cora C. Horne, Mrs. Charlotte Walace Murray, Mrs. Addie W.

And he enjoys his work too. When he danced in “Blackbirds,” he was given as big*a hand as Bill Robinson, Shake Hips, or any of the other big shots.

May 21—(By A.N.P.) —Now that “The Gre Pastures” is a decided hit, the stage manager is experiencing the woes which attend the production of any show which features colored performers. | When the show ‘first opened. the call ‘board demanded that the performers be in the theatre at 7:40. This in spite of the fact that the curtain did not rise tintil 8:45, “Hali-hour” w:s called at eight o'clock, thus giving the actors ‘time to be on hand or a twenty minute jee-way before. the regular hour for arrival at the theatre. The second call of te eee thus came at 8:15 and at 8:3treverybody was supposed to be on the stage. With the twenty minute period of grace established, the actors begin to grumble over the early hour necessary for them to_be on hand. MADE BAD TIME They immediately began taking liberties with the time. Some started arriving at cight o'clock. This did not matter very" much, as they still had focty-five minutes in which to get ready. Those arriving aiter eight o'clock, however were checked as late, Then things began to happen, Some got the idea that they- could stay out until after cight o'clock, drop: ping in as it were at 6:15 and one young lady went so far as to walk in- to the theatre at 8:25. Here was where the stage manager showed his hand. When this particular, young lady walked into the theatre. she was met by the manager who questioned her as to where! she was going. He said nothing but let lier go ahead and cress for a regular perfor- mance, bat when she came downstairs she. was not permitted to go on. This caused her to lose a day's pay» but heart-stirring; The cast. includes Irene Wilson, Evelyn Preer, Roberta Hyson, Allegretti Anderson, Dore Dean ‘Johnson, Edward ‘Thompson, Spencer Williams, Webb King and E. C. Dyer. Besides the sowing of the great picture/there: will be a fun-fest with King Minior’s’ Minstrels and several clever and captivating acts of vaude- ville at each performance. All of the enfertaininent is new an@ arranged especially for the showing of the World Premiere of Georgia Rose. A very clever and commanding number will be “Dick” Saunders and his clas. sy dancing trio, TheLincoln box office opened for reserve seats for the openipe day preview last Monday and a report on reservations indicated that the house would be sold out soon for the open- ing night, It was also stated by the management that @ block of 100 tick ets on the main floor which had been reserved for e local organization was to be turned back thto the box office for ‘the benefit of the general: public. This action will assure the late pur- chases a chance to get ‘some good seats, It was reported that there would be matinee on Saturday and Sundays as well as the usual evening and Saturday midnight show.

ALL-COLORED CASTS"—FOX This did not occur once it happenec several times with various member: of the cast—many of whom are stil grumbling because of the early hou they, are required to be present. But the rufé stands and unless the stage mabhger: awakens, “The” Gréea “Bas tures” cast is in for a much neede@less son, Much needed is said because of the fact that many of the performers have appeared in other shows where rules were violated -as fast_as they -were made. One of the things which the stage manager had to set’ his foot down on “good and proper” was gamb- ling in the dressing rooms. He ruled it out positively and threatened to fire the first member of the cast whom he caught violating this rule after he told them’ of it. Which bringsto mind the words of an executive ofthe Fox Film Company who very tposidively declared tit his organization lial. had enought of cole ored casts in the making of “Hearts in Dixie” antl. woilld not attempt any further experimits with an entire col- ored unit! Although “Hearts in Dix- ie” was a success tinancially and hail- ed in all parts of the country where it was shown without any adverse criti- cism, Fox refuses to make further pic- tures of the kind. Yet the picture. which had a Broadway showing at a “special” house-ended in such a Way as 10, make a sequel almost a necessity. But the-bitter experience’ the man- agement had with the first east pre- cluded any such ambition; ‘What happened with the slow “Harlem” is history—where rebellious members of the cast desrupted the show and caused its closing far earlier than tickets sales: indicated. Leslie had his troubles with the cast and as a producer and director of a show, there is not a more caustic man live ‘than the afore mentioned Mr. Leslie. One girl lost her job in-one of his shows because her’ husband con- tinued to hang around the stage door for her. Leslie advises all of his em- loyees to keep their love affairs out- side of ue theatre as far as he is con: cerned.

Temple, 803 E. 32nd St. HU. 3419 or VA, 1221 Very often children in the home swallow poisons which adults would never take by mistake due to the odor of the poison. For this reason such liquids as gasoline, benzene, kerosene, turpentine while comparatively with out danger to adults are sources of danger to infants or small children; because all when taken in large quantities become poisons. BENZENE—And allied solutions have often been taken in poisonous doses by small children. ANTIDOTE—Common baking soda, force the drinking of 1-2 quarts of luke warm water, stimulating vomiting at intervals between the cups of water. BELLODONA—This is such a commonly used medicine in the home that it is easy for an adult to take an over dose, or for a child to become poisoned thereby. ASTHOYE—Tomic acid (stronger). Charcoal, and the ever faithful washing out of the stomach, by promoting vomiting during the drinking of 2-3 quarts of luke warm water, by the patient. Apply hot water bottles to the feet. Send for the doctor at once as there is very grave danger of failure of the respiration after an over dose of Balladona. CARBOLIC ACID and LYSOL and CRESOTE—These are two of the most common poisons known. Due to the fact that lysol may be so easily obtained it is a very, very frequent poison used by, those seeking to commit suicide. Fortunately lysol is so very "nasty" and the burning effect on the mouth and lips is so painful that, very often the disagreeable early effects prevent the person from taking enough to cause death. Often in fact the would-be-suicide, is stopped with nothing more than burned mouth and tongue. Then however enough lysol or carbolic acid is taken to get into the esophagus or tube leading from the mouth to the stomach, then frequently severe results follow doses which are too small to cause death. For the soft tissues of the esophagus are easily burned by the strong lysol or carbolic, and thus the patient may escape immediate death he or she may die later due to burns of the esaphogus or stomach. If death does not follow a stricture of the Esophosqu may result causing difficulty in swallowing and may even necessitate an operation to prevent actual starvation. As a remote effect cancer may develop on the site of the burn or scar and this cause death. These are some of the constant results which are found in our world following attempted suicide with carbolic acid or Lysol. ANT1DOTE—Common Epsom Salts in dilute solution should be given at once. No attempt should be made to pass a stomach tube nor cause violent vomiting as these energetic measures all are likely to tear them the already burned tissue of the alimentary canal. Coffee may be given and artificial respiration if the patient ceases to breathe. Keep the patients extremities warm. Call the doctor at once. OXIDE—Gas poisoning of all kinds is very common and therefore everyone should know what measures to follow in case there of. First of all renierber the rule in any case of poisoning call the doctor at once. In the mean time try to use all of the common sense measures within your power. Gas acts likes a hypnotic or an anesthetic to all of the tissues and cells of the body including the cells of the blood. Its greatest harm comes from the fact that it replaces oxygen in the body. ANTIDOTE—Fresh air in abundance and super-abundance. If the patient Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church—T. F. Jones, Pastor— Services at Grant Chapel A. M. E. church Sunday, May 25, were up to their usual high standard. A large number of children and young people were present at the Sunday school. At 11 o'clock service the pastor spoke.

May 20, 1930 Time: 7. May 20, 1930 Place: Engine House 14 Central, Los Angeles Cast: Leading man: Mr. Archie Woodyard, noted athlete and gallant young fireman. Leading lady: Mrs. Florence Woodyard. Fillins: Twenty-five husky firemen from Engine House No. 14. Synopsis.-For about 2 months the boys around the fire house had been wondering and wondering what Archie was smiling bout all the time. Two weeks ago Archie troted into the Engine House with a swell looking lady attached to his side. Says he—"Boys I Wish you all to meet the swellest sweetist girl in the world. Mrs. Woodyard my— "Wait a minute Archie" rung out the Anvil chorus led by Captain Hall. Is you done got married. Iaint said I is, and Iaint said I isn't. Replied the tactful young fireman. Boy spoke up the captain I didn't ax you is youaint I ax youaint you is Well you didn't give me time Captain to finish my introduction. As I was about to say Mrs. Woodyard is my eve-mother. Just then the bells changed and the finest and best manled piece of fire equipment in the city led by the captain with Arclie and the gang clinging to its sides tore out the door and down the street to squelch a million dollar blaze while the leading lady modestly departed for the home of her illustrous son on 41st where she expects to permenently reside with he and his grand father. Curtain. We see by the daily papers where Oscar Chisby, who is one of us, broke into print by winning the Golf title at the city golf links at Griffith Park last Sunday. The feat is not, as in many instances, an empty honor but an honor that places him at the head of Golfdom in L. A. irrespective of race creed or complexion. That's great Oscar keep it up. The name Clisby is no stranger in the newspapers for Oscar is a brother of the famous fighter Neil Clisby. Last Saturday excitement ran high at 847 Central Ave. Traffic was blocked, pedestrains were ordered to go around, the block via 8th St. Folks were late keeping appointments and dinner engagements with their wives sweethearts and business associates.

Prof. Hatersley of Pasadena Junior College will speak on the "Conditions of India." He spent 10 years in that country and has much of interest to say.

Davis, former National Committeeman of Georgia, secured reservation from Washington to Atlanta. On the same train was Congressian Britton from Illinois with his wife and daughter. It happened that the editor secured an upper berth over the lower occupied by the Illinois Representative. The protestations and ugliiness of Mr. Britton as described by the editor of the Atlanta Independent made him appear more like a native mountaineer than a federal representative from the state of Lincoln. A few weeks ago a Negro social worker went into the lobby of a southern hotel where a state conference of social work was being held and was told by the local white man-chairman of the county welfare board, that the northern white members objected to his coming in and becoming a part of the meeting. A short time prior to that, a white man from the State of Ohio organized and led a mob threening the life of Dr. J. W. Holley. President of Albany State, Normal School. These three occurrences in rapid succession make one wonder if rudeness, narrowness, littleness, crudeness, and incivility always have geographic significance. It may be that since they occurred in the south, geography gives atmosphere that stimulates certain types of behavior.

Sleeping side by side along with white national heroes is to be found the remains of thousands of black boys who also gave their all in the belief and hope that the cause they were fighting for was a just cause. We regret to state times have changed. Gone are the days when the early morning trail on May 30th led us to the cemetery, the capital grounds plazas and other places ladden with arms of flowers which we placed upon each individual shrine as we gathered, at the meeting place, intermingled with war veterans who lived the past over again, told old war stories, sang hymns, national airs, and offered prayers. Gone are the days when we gathered along the main through fare of the village, or city in which we lived to witness the parade, greet our comrades, cheer our defenders as band of music after band played musical airs that made our hearts swell and spirit rise. The little chap that stood by your side had but one thing in his mind, he lived in hope that he would some day be able to emulate those who were today honored. The man with shoulder straps, seated on the daple gray horse or the fellow with the sword giving orders and comands to the men as platoon after platoon filed by. We repeat gone are those days and in their steam we see the old flag huming. No longer do the mases honor and reverend the dead as of yore. Amusements of every sort have year by year creep in and crowded our old programs off the calander. Pictures, baseball, theatres and dancing have caused modern America to almost forget the dead and their deeds and make the living really wonders whether the supreme sacrifice was worth the price. But as time moves rapidly on and we witness the sincere efforts being made by national groups to stem the further horrors of war the horizon brightens and hope over takes the old guard, the faithful few and informs them their comrades died not in vain.

SLEDGE The management of the Eastern Outfitting Company, 620 South Main Street announces with pleasure the appointment of S. H. Sledge to its rapidly growing staff. Mr. Sledge according to the management, is young man of considerable attainment, and brings to the Eastern the fruits of his many years of experience with nationally famous concerns. He was for nine years employed as a salesman by the National Cash Register Company of Davton, Ohio. "I recognize an unusual opportunity for service with the Eastern," says Mr. Sledge. "This firm's liberal credit policy, coupled with its 38 years old reputation for square dealing, makes the salesman's task a very pleasant one. When I can tell people that they can furnish their homes, and pay for what they purchase in small, regular payments—without interest—stretched over a long period of time, I know that I am offering them a real service. I do not wonder that the Eastern has grown to be the largest institution of its kind west of Chicago." Mr. Sledge will gassist his friends in opening accounts at the Eastern.

OPEN LETTER- Dear Editor: Allow me to use a little of your space in which to comment upon the disgraceful behavior of the Negro students at Pasadena Junior College. "They gather together in a certain part of the College cafeteria, and there create such a disturbance that teachers have been heard to remark that these conditions give rise to unfavorable opioids about the whole Negro race. These students are noisy, throw books, etc. at each other, try to push each other into garbage cans and generally behave in a disgusting manner. Their section is the noisiest and dirtiest of the whole cafeteria. Is this culture? Yours sincerely, A VISITING STUDENT. The Sweetest Thing (TO MISS ELLEN ANDERSON) The Sweetest thing on earth to me. In this age of charms, and thrills, is not the clasp of a baby's hand. Nor chrip of the whippoorwill. Nor the scenade of a steel guitar. In the oad of a summer night. Nor fragrant flowers, nor sacred hymns. Nor a bride in her garments white. Tis memory of by-gone years. When life to me was so new, The things we did, and our faith superb. And the love we exchanged, we two. Call me a dreamer, call me fool. Or call me what ever you may; But half of my heart lies buried there, In that city, so far away. Though I may roam in foreign lands, Where banyan, and bamboos grow. I know, that a spirit watches me. And guides me where ever I go. It soothes me in the darkest hours. I have felt its magic kiss. On my tears stained brow, please tell me now. Is there ought quite so sweet as this? And so if in a trance I seem, When memorys soft echoes ring. I am with my Romeo of old, Who taught me the sweetest thing. IVA O. REED POLITICAL POT PIE We adjure and admonish readers of the Pot Pie to give a respectful hearing for all measures as well as to individuals who aspire political preference it and then judging the merits and demirits of each one of them. Note for the ones whose record points to giving all the people the best service. We are informed the story is being told (and not by John H. Taylor either) that the Elks Convention which just adjourned at San Diego was sewed up in a sack for Gov. C. C. Young. That this same individual had worked on it for months, that he went to John R. Quuth and procured transportation for the Elks band to make the trip to the scene of the Convention. Further that the body endorsed the Governor overwhelming. Now, if this individual did say such a thing, he has rendered unto this body a grave injustice. For it gathered at San Diego to attend to business for the Elks and taking up endorsement for Governor Young or anybody else was not on the program. It is absolutely unjust to a progressive order such as the colored Elks to circulate such a preposterous story as this one, which is absolutely false, and puts the order in the category of the ridiculous without any cause or reason. Fitts for governor and the slogan if not Fitts—Who strikes a responsive chord according to the reaction which we are receiving from the last week's editorial and which comments have been relayed to our Pot Pie artist. A red hot Fitts for governor meeting was held in Bakersfield last evening. This is a Rolph hot-bed, and we await the report of a Fitts candidate as a result of this meeting. Col. C. H. Alston is going on the firing line and when he does the welkin will ring right out for Buron Fitts for governor. Judge Carlos Hardy for Superior Court is holding the inside place for re-election to the Superior bench. San Diego citizens will soon hear Remarks—Dr. H. Claude Hudson. Instrumental—Madam Floyd. Ukelele Solo—W. Daniels. Bass Solo—J. D. Weldon. Selection—Orchestra. Vocal Solo—Mrs. V. McDowell. Selection—Quartet. Solo—D. A. Scott. Selection—Quartet. Address to Graduates—Arthur L.

Ph. is one of the greatest pastors of this generation, his success in the past rate shows his fitness and adaptability to catch and hold men, women and children in loving Christian fellowship, for service in the work of the Kingdom Greatness as a pastor does not consist in the amount of money raised and the beautification of the edifice, lawn and the purchase of a modern parsonage, but in the Holy magnetist that attract and hold the people, until they express their desire to have you able with them always. Such is the enviable record of this peerless divine, thirty-four years in the ministry, extended a life-time call to the pastorate of the St. Paul Du Quinion, Ill.; Mt. Pisquah. Bloomington, Ill.; Trinity Baptist Church. Pittsburgh, Pa.; Liberty. Atlanta, Ga.; success crowned his labor as pastor of each of those churches where they only redimuished their hold of him, when of his own accord he would insist on the acceptance of his resignation, that he might go to the next field. He found his present charge, the East Mt.

D.D., Pastor, Lecturer Colored Adventists Or- and Bible Exegete organize Conference INTERNATIONAL CHARACTER INVITATIONS TO SPEAK IN RUSSIA AND SWEDEN This year the Negro Baptists of the United States of America will celebrate their Golden Jubilee in the city of New York, in the month of September. This year from the month of January to December is epocalish in our National organic life and all that we do or say will be significant in the eyes of the historians of the world, whether our exhibitions are simply grand-and plays, or the presentation of truth as to who are what we have done, and our aim and hope for the future. Beginning with this issue for historical reasons. The National Baptist Union-Review will present for the benefit of our readers, biographical sketches of our ministerial group up to the sitting of the National Baptist Convention. Human thought is the background and actions paint the chart of time. In the lives of all men there is a history, as well as in the activities of all nations; and history is history, whether the chronicle is dressed in the black and frills of literary art, or the facts and truths stated and deeds of living men that thrill the passion until enthusiasm is awakened, and a window to the soul is opened to receive inspiration. Some one has said, "to be important of the lives of the great men of antiquity is to continue in a state of childhood all our days"; to be ignorant of the ability and achievements of the great men of our day and generation, is to be as a ship without an anchor or compass. A true delineation of the smallest man is capable of interesting the greatest man, for in every human soul God has hidden some ideal, and when race-consciousness is awakened thereto, the motive power of all progress comes from the inexhaustible source.

To walk in his private library is a treat to the educated, inspirational to the scientist and at pleasure to the scientist and philosopher, for his is one of the great best libraries of any minister in America, regardless of nationality or denomination. It is an axiom, that "all the known world, except savage nations are governed by books." This principle of preachers holds the key of knowledge, in his left hand, and the scepter of power in his right hand as he contends for the faith once delicately to study to show the self a work that must not be ashamed." was accepted by him without reserve, and is an undying incentive to his love, purchase and mastery of books. It was Lord Chesterfield, who said, "wear your learning like your watch in a private pocket; do not pull it out and strike it merely to show that you have one," such is the mien of this eminent scholar teacher and pastor. He holds the following degrees from white and colored institutions: B. D., A. M., D. O., M. D., D. D., L.L., D. D. and he also holds the following official positions: Lecturer on the Bible in the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, National Baptist Convention of America. Member of many boards including the Executive Board of the International Religious Education Association and International Sunday School Association, and the Vice-president of the National Baptist Convention of America. The diplomas nearly framed and grazing the walls of the library of the subject of this article present him as Rev. Ernest Hall. B. Ph., A. M. D.O., M. D., D. D., L.L.D., pastor of E. Mt.

Dear Mr. Bass: Since I was thrown out of the Seventh-Day Adventist Conference (White) last November, I have organized a United Sabbath-Day Adventist Conference and have been to Kingston, Jamica where I spent several weeks organizing churches and missions and have returned and organized a church in Newark and expected to organize one in Brooklyn this week. I have forced the Conference to take more Negro delegates to Calif., where their conference is convening in the month of June than ever before. The Conference has been trying to get our Church property, but so far as we have been able to withstand the storm and this week an appeal, which they made to withhold that books from examination, was denied them by the Appellate Court, which is the highest court in New York State. Some time ago the Supreme Court of New York State ordered the books investigated to see how much money our church had paid on the mortgage and so forth. Rather than do this they appealed the case. In as much as their books are going to be investigated, we have won another moral victory. We could not have done this had it not have been for the moral support of the Negro papers through out this country, for which I am very grateful to the colored editors. I wish them to know that this is not a one man fight, but a fight to free the colored Adventists from the iron heels of the white conference. The support given by the colored papers therefore is greatly appreciated not only by me but by my 700 members and all colored people everywhere and desigent white people as well who believe in justice for all people without regards to color or their religious belief. I once again take this method of thanking the editors of the colored papers, and bid them God-speed for what they are doing to help me turn the light on the Seventh Day Adventist nor what they are dying to help the Negro in his many fights. Yours very truly J. K. HUMPHREY REV. GANTT. ENERGETIC PRELATE MAKES GOOD Among the preachers of this westernt section, there are none more outstanding than Rev. H. R. Gantt, of Bakersfield, who not only builds churches and sees that they are conducted on a business basis and the spiritual side to the forefront, but also believes in the preachment of economic freedom or the group. Rev. Gantt demonstrates it in his own being and as a consequence, others follow. He is not only a preacher of the first rank but an outstanding business man as well. Asia preacher and thinker. Rev. Gantt stands at the top and is surely deserving of consideration and recognition in any situation within or without the denomination which he serves. San Francisco, Calif. By W. J. WHEATON There appeared in a recent issue of Chicago Defender a letter under the Caption of "Is Our Women As Bad As This" written by one signed J Wilson, 1114 Popular St. Oakland. The writer slanders the moral character of Negro women. Those of the Pacific Coast in particular, when he gives vent to the following distrine. In which he says "I see it every day." On the Coast here where there are all kinds of foreigners and Americans "Nigger women" are easy for them. Even the so-called respectable Colored women (there isn't such animal) they even entertain them in broad daylight." Such vomit could only emanate from the mouth of a person with a diseased brain, or thought so vile and filthy that carrion crows would fly from the stench. This ditire would go unnoticed as emanating from the brain of a Moron, wholly incompetent to appreciate the true worth of Negro womanhood if it were not that its insidious language would be taken seriously by readers not of the Race. The moral standards of Negro women in general. Need no brief, true: They have had a thorny road to trace. No women in the wide, wide world have had so many obstacles to overcome. But they have torn down barriers; with herculean strength, they have showed as aides the obstacles constructing their path, and the spirit of their spirit with any women of the World. To say that: the leaning of Race womanhood is toward immorality and a tendency to illicit relationship with men indiscriminately, is in itself evidence of the mental and social environment, of the writer. In our long residence on the Pacific Coast and a magnificent womanhood throughout the nation; whose moral integrity and sterling characters are manifest in the work accomplished in the fields of religion, educated human uplift. Women who have pioneered in civic betterment and paved the way that others coming from less favored environments, might be benefitted. Negro men hang their heads in shame that one who claims the title of man should lend himself to such scurrilous vomit. But MEN deem him but fit company for swine. He should bow his head in shame at the mention of sister and choke at the word MOTHER. It is, to be regretted that notice be given such misleading, irresponsible mouthings. For the wri- ter; we, in common with others, hold him in utmost contempt. It is only to show the magnificent womanhood of the Race that we acknowledge their worth glory in the standard of morality they have kept through every trial. Meeting With Gratifying Response Mrs. J. C. Hoke, 635 East Santa Barbara street informs us that in response to her announcement as a representative of the Weislitz Finance and Bulling Company that she is meeting with gratifying success and due consideration as she goes forth in the various parts of the city. She is much encouraged with the new determination of her people to encourage only the proven and worth while investments which will be helpful to the economic growth of the race. That the plan of her company is a beacon to the home owner there is no question, for under their plan a foreclosure on a home is unknown and unheard of. The buyer of a home is absolutely protected against everything including sickness and death and temporary loss of employment. Those who are interested in a home and safe guarding the same will do well to get in touch with Mrs. Hoke who will be pleased to place before you the fullest details of the plans which have brought to the people at this time the wonderful opportunities in home buying as this company which she is representing. Open New Sanatarium In Chicago CHICAGO, Ill.—On June 3, the Willis-Sanitarium will celebrate its opening in the new building at 4720 South Parkway Avenue. The new home has been completely arranged and constructed to fit into every need of the patients who come daily to Dr. Willis for aid in relieving them of their various bodilyills. The Sanitarium is adequately equipped for every purpose. It has sixy rooms, full Xeras equipment, a Swedish-mechano-Therapeutic department, a gym, violet and actinine, ray treatment, and a finely organized Turkish bath system. This Turkish bath department offers attendant for ladies and gentlemen. It is segregated for the sexes with private rooms for rest and sleep after the bath. On the main floor of the building are the reception and waiting rooms. Their artistic appointments are altogether splendid. The lobby has a floor of fine cut tile The woodwork is of hard-carved. The large reception rooms with their hand painted walls, their molded ceilings, their immaculate parquet floors, waxed, ornamented with gorgeous chinese, persian and oriental rugs, give to the institution an atmosphere of reinforcement and culture which are truly typical. The mellow, acetylene electric bulbs render it possible to intise a perfect imitation of daybreak sunlight at any moment of the night or day. All of the radiators are concealed within the wall with seats above, and are painted the color of the hartwood. The big gas logs in the lobby and reception rooms are ready to offer their flaming fires so cheerful and soothing when winter winds blow or when Chicago's intriguely laby waters make temporary, winter of summer and spring. Rubber plants about the window sills, hedges and trees in the yards evergreens here and there, give to the entire place a perpetual touch of freshness and virginity so invigorating and stimulating to the convalescent or sick patient in the home. Mrs. Willis has helped the doctor in all of his work for the last 17 years, being a trained Physiologist herself. She has made a special study of X-ray and the physics of X-ray. Dr. Floyd W. Willis was born in the south, like so many of our men of achievement, his native home being in Beard's Station, Kentucky. After attending grammar school, he later moved to Louisville, Ky., where he met and worked for Dr. Ewing Marshall and came in touch with Dr. Curran Pope, the national and noted author of hydrotherapy, who was responsible for encouraging the aspiring youth to follow that branch of medicine. Graduating from Meharyar Medical College in 1913, where he worked his way through, Dr. Willis decided to do special work at Battle Creek, Michigan. There he was further encouraged by the celebrated Dr. L. H. Kellog. Modest and unassuming, one has to pick out of Dr. Willis what, he has really done and can do. Nevertheless, while one is looking through the institution, he is struck by paintings on the wall—oil and color work. Upon inquiry he learns that it is the individual work of an rtist or Dr. Willis. He not only has the natural artistic bent; he studied art for a while in the Chicago Art Institute. corner of 20th and Hooper Ave. Services 3 and 8 P. M. Sundays Amanda McAdory Bishop S. N.

CALLING NAMES It is so very gratifying the number of persons who respond to the appeal made through these columns each week, that we just can't help calling a few names. Last week among those loyal subscribers who either mailed checks or came into the office as per promise after being phoned regarding their account were Mrs. Emma Gordon, G. A. Simmons, S. D. Patterson, Mrs. C. Clopton, R. Givens, W. H. Cox, William H. Duncan, F. Kellar, M. Hibler, L. L. Taylor, Mrs. A. McAdory and so on, indeed the list runs into such proportions that we find the space allotted to our use insufficient to name them all. This "Grand Old Bird" is enabled to soar so much higher because of the loyalty of these persons and that still larger number whom we contact each week, that the hearts of those of us who are striving to merit this support wells up in pride.

Upton Friday, May 30, 1930 P UPTON SAYS— People out in the little town of Watts have been rather restless during the past few days, some of them have even gone so far as to miss a few days work it seems that a certain gentleman with a keen eye for unlimited wealth has sunk a drill down in old Mother earth in view of producing some of that precious fluid called oil, that settled everything, all the folks for miles around began building air castles, of course the man is still drilling while there's life there's hope, but in this particular instance it takes five-hundred dollars a day to keep this drill going. Now if the man strikes oil I'll be willing to call Watts, So Los Angeles, hard times will make a Monkey red peper but a flock of dollars will make it taste like sugar. The Railroad Clatter wishes to congratulate June Estle whose birthday comes in May: Your birthstone is the Emerald: Symbolic of Success in Love. MAJESTIC RADIO SPECIAL LEAVES IN GREAT STYLE Two special trains equipped with the very latest radio sets and loud speakers assured the many Majestic radio dealers a rare variety of the latest news and choosest music during their journey to Chicago over the Union Pacific Rilroad; Each year this delegation grows larger, and as a result must have more cars in which to handle the dealers. Last year was the first time that the Majestic dealers had a special train, but it proved such a big success that it was again tried this year in spite of the very evident hull in business all over the country. The Majestic dealers went about things this year in a very business like manner, and chartered two trains leaving in a style which fell little short of that which is generally demonstrated by the Shriners. Delegates swarmed all over the Southern Pacific depot in brightly colored uniforms, a chorus of songsters mingled among the spectators, and exhibited a variety of harmony which was very pleasing to the ears. A band of about twenty-five pieces was also much in evidence and played several numbers to the delight of those who were in the station waiting for their trains to depart. Another new feature was the serving of ice cream and cake to the wives and friends of the dealers who were down to the train to bid a last fond farewell to their hubs. Following are the names of a few of the porters who were assigned to the Majestic special: E. Sorsby, H. J. Mingleton, A. Franklin, A. Kimbro, H. Y. Watts, C. Jackson, H. Crudch, and a number of other sheet shakers whose names the writer was unable to get. The Pullman Conductors Stubbs, and Martin were in charge and it is thought that the service will be of a very high class caliber. The delegation will remain in Chicago for about three days, last year they arrived one day and left the next evening over the Santa Fe. A large program has been already arranged for them at one of the leading hotels in Chicago. As a rule this Majestic special is a very hard one for the porter running tip and bottom, all men, and smoking the body of the car. However the porter's who have been placed on it are all experienced men and know how to handle a crowd of this kind: Not any of the porters who accompanied the delegates last year are going this time. Woods dropped out at the last minute as well as several others who made the former trip. The Clatter wishes the boys all the luck in the world and sincerely hopes that the famous brand of Los Angeles service is rendered throughout the trip. SUMMER RATES BRING RUSH IN BUSINESS TO DISTRICT IN BUSINESS TO DISTRICT May 22 was the day that the final shot was fired for the summer rush although the van guard of summer travel started in the east on the 15th, many extra trains left here, and Los Angeles porters who have been bucking the extra board got a break. The Union Pacific apparently had the biggest part, of the business, while the Santa Fe which as a genail rule ranks first in passenger business run a very close race with U. P. for first honors. PORTERS PREPARE FOR SHRINE SPECIAL Pulman Porter's wives kept busy all week digging up discarded B. V. D. v's and collars for their husbands who will journey back east with the Shriners on the 31st of this month. Many porters will be disappointed who have been hoping up to the last minute that they would be selected to go on the trip. The Los Angeles Shriners will have a train this year that will surpass all other specials that they have had heretofore; Many new forms of amusements have been planned for If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened 847 Central Avenue the Shrimers this year and the porters will be kept on the jump from the time they leave until the time that they get back. As a rule this is about the hardest special that leaves this district and on account of the prominence of the passengers that go on these trains a high standard of service must be maintained. The Clatter wishes the porters much good luck on their trip and hopes to get the report when they return that a mean ball was hit on the entire trip. T. TAFT RELEASES LINE 18 1-2 T. Tait who has been operating on line 18,1-2 for the past year has felt the call of the summer rush and has decided that he has served his time out on line 18,1-2 from Los Angeles to San Diego. Last week Tait told the man that he desired to get a taste of the fruit of the extra board. His many friends nown in San Diego will miss his smilling face and pleasant disposition. EAGLE HAS NEW PRESS The California Eagle in keeping with its rapid progress in the newspaper world has purchased a new press many passers by stood in front of the window last week and watched the press with interest. This is but a step in the expansion program of this wonderful race paper. Every piece of machinery in the establishment is owned and operated by Negroes, a fact which deserves the utmost consideration of the race. A dime spent with this firm is a dime spent toward the progress of a fast canning race. A new-paper plant worthy of the entire west will soon be established. This is a great encouragement to business which has been suffering with a rather telling depression during the past year. The addition of the new press is a forsight of the Eagle owners that business will be good in the not far future. EX-PULLMAN PORTER'S PANTS SET ON FIRE BY POLICE OFFICER J. D. Banton, a former Pullman porter operating out of this district while driving down in China town with his wife and another gentleman last week during a chinese celebration in which fireworks were the chief form of amusement felt something hot around the lower part of his limbs and upon examining himself closer discovered that his pants was on fire, he got busy right away and extinguished the blazes then sought the perpetrator of the act; looking across the street he discovered a traffic officer laughing at him, and further still the officer throw another cannon cracker under the astonished Banton. He proceeded toward the culprit and asked him the meaning of his act, whereupon the officer who had no uniform on at the time gave him a lot of smart talk. Mr. Banton with his britches still smoking strated to try the cops jaws but on second thought he held his temper and got back in his machine and reported the insult to the police station. They sent a car load of officers back to the scene of the dirt and picked the officer up bringing all back to the station where he was reprimanded by the Lieutenant, however Banton will seek redress in another manner as he does not think a reprimand is punishment enough for a policeman burning a perfectly good pair of Ten dollar white pants. He intends to file a protest with the Chief of police and bring the case before the police commission. ON THE SICK LIST The following porters were on the sick list at this writing. T. R. Roy, ill, for the past month; C. W. Rusell, retirion of this district; G. A. Corbin, E. B. Evans, and E., W. Bracket. B. W. Hawkins was seen last week in his late automobile and his late derby hat, I mean late coming back into style. Dan Hool has been getting a taste of the mysterious of the extra board. Seen 'Dixon last week with a carload of Pullman Porters. SO. PACIFIC RED CAPS WELL GROOMED FOR MAX. 32d GROOMED FOR MAY 22nd As usual the Southern Pacific Red Caps did their part in a very efficient manner on the opening day and during the rush, Head Red Caps, Jas. Gray, Alvin Spivey and Fountam Brown have been drilling their forces daily for this event and every thing went off in a very business like way, not a complaint was registered against the crack Southern Pacific force. Sam Thompson one of the oldest red caps at the S. P. in point of service was seen flitting about from place to place injecting the famous So. Pacific spirit into the boys and passengers were helped on their trains with a smile that made a lasting impression on the travelers as regards the Negro in this capacity. SANTA FE RED CAPS HANDLE MANY TRAINS Head Red Cap. Normand Steward had his organization of efficient grip snatchers in fine shape for the big rush, and with trains coming and going in two and three sections not an error was made. The Chief which is the high class train leaving the Santa Fe Depot left in three sections and was loaded with the elite of the traveling public. As a rule passengers, traveling on this high class train have any where from 8 to 10 traveling bags, but this seemed to make no difference with Normand's crack srew, everything went off fine and Normand is resting on his laurels as an efficient leader in the grip snatching industry. FAST SAN DIEGO TRAIN PLANED Beginning June 1st the Santa Fe Railway will inaugure a 2-hour 50-minute train between Los Angeles and San Diego, the fastest schedule ever attempted. It was announced last week by Mr. James B. Duffy, Assist, Passenger Traffic Manager. Reduction in running time between Los Angeles and San Diego follows the recent announcement of faster schedule between this city and Chicago, the Chief, Crack Santa Fe Train, will make it in 50 hours and eastbound will require 57-hours and 10 minutes. FROM THE DINING CAR Five New Colonial diners which are named after Colonial heroines have been recently put in service on one of the eastern railroads. DINING CAR SERVICE PLATES WITH APPROPRIATE DECORATION Service plates on dining cars of the Missouri Pacific have a unique, beautiful and exceedingly appropriate decoration. The center of the plate is a reproduction of William Harden Foster's clever painting, "The Sunshine Special," and the border of the plate is a series of floral decoration picturing the state flowers of the eleven states served by the Missouri Pacific lines. These plates are so coveted that many travelers have asked to buy them, and the dining car department now sells them upon such request at $3.00. The plates are Syracuse china, made by Onodaga Pottery Company. FOOD LEFT IN OPEN CANS IS NOT DANGERQUS Food that has been standing in open cans is no more dangerous to eat than food which had been on a plate according to Prof. F. W. Tanner, head of the department of bacteriology at the University of Illinois. Prof. Tanner said the old idea that Ptomaine poisoning could be eliminated by taking food from a can as soon as it was opened, was a fallacy. A recent bulletin of the bureau of Agriculture, substantiates Prof. Tanners views, by declaring tin cans not injurious. LONDON COMMUTERS GET FREE SHOE POLIS Two automatic boot-cleaning machines have been installed at Morden station on the London underground railroad and passengers may polish their boots and shoes free of charge. This innovation at Morden is due to the large quantity of mud which has been brought into the station and carriages by workmen employed on development of neighboring building estates. The underground Authorities have stated that if the experiment is successful, similar machines will be installed all over. Joining his family in their bereavement many local railroad men are sorrowed at the passing of Mr. Ed Touro 021 Sd. Ditthan Street who succumbed to illness, this week. Mr. Touro was one of the best known local railroad men anywhere in the country and his general disposition made him universally liked by white and colored. For four years he was a highly valued employee on the private car ot Mr. E. W. Campbell, assistant general manager of the S. P. Railroad, Mr. Archie Memby now 2nd cook at Oakmount golf, club was chef on the car curing this time and also one of Ed's best friends. Mesdames Fannie Matthews, Ethel Newsome, Moozelle Moore and Hattie Melton were joint hostesses to the sorors and members of the Rho Club of the Rho Psi Phi Medical sorority at their literary meeting, Tuesday, held at the Sorority house, Mrs. Etheline Clark reviewed Plum Bun by Jessie Faucett. The open discussion was led by Mrs. Hazel Burch. Two musicale numbers were rendered by Mrs. Fedora Prather. Two minute talks were given by Mesdames Laura Smitherman, Edna Carter, Nellie Conoer, Mollie Everette, and Beatrice Hudgins-after which the social hour was enjoyed by the forty members-present. WE COVER CALIFORNIA LIKE THE OCEAN BREEZE . . . THE MUSICIAN Crolyne Snowden, who has recently joined the long list of successful artists in the Vitaphone fold, is one of the best known colored performers on the West coast. Miss Snowden comes from Southern folk who settled in the West. She lived in San Francisco for a long time, but has spent most of the last few years in Los Angeles. There she became the moving spirit of the Dixie-land Quality Serenaders and made that group of syncopers famous during the last four years. In between times she has produced several shows and appeared in the outstanding character parts of a half dozen movies. But it is in the field of jazz that Miss Snowden stars. Her lively vivacious temperament best expresses itself in that syncopated music of the gay. Her reputation has grown and spread so much that Carolynne is expecting to leave for Germany shortly, to show them how jazz is presented in America. This colored star has never been in the eastern part of the United States, but with the brand of music that she presents, she can be assured of a warm welcome when she arrives in the country east o the Mississippi. On the number that Carolynne Snowden made for Vitaphone she has the able assistance of several colored musicians who re soloists in their own right. "Tin Can" Henry Allen plays drums, but he also uses a kazook and a lard pail for his effects; in fact, he seems to make use of most anything that comes within his reach. Harvey O. Brooks is at the piano and Thomas-Valentine plucks cheerly at the strings of the banjo. There is something spontaneous about this group of colored performers that Carolynne Snowden has gathered. Their music has an abandon, a grace and a rhythm that few white jazz banos can equal. Somehow they seem to lose themselves in their music, but there is never irregularity in the smooth syncopation of these colored stars. Miss Snowden has an excellent voice and in her dancing shows the true grace of the finished dancer. In addition, she rolls her eyes and flashes her teeth in a display of personality that sweeps the listener along with her irresistible syncope. The numbers that Carolynne Snowden and her assistants have chosen to best illustrate their art include "St. Louis Blues." "Just Another Day," "San," "Every Tub" and "Learn to do the Charleston." In these Carolynne apears as the very personification of melodious pep, "Tin Can" Henry Allen, Brooks and Valentine all render noble assistance to this most jazzy artist, Carolynne Snowden and Co. will be seen and heard here on the Vitalphone presentation program t the Tivoli on June 1st and 2nd. JOLLY GEE FIVE HUNDRED GIRLS CLUB The Jolly Gee Five Hundred Girls met on Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Lillian Hicks with Mrs. Ha vana Woodford as hostess. The meeting was opened by the president, Mrs. Wood and with most of the members being present and one visitor, Mrs. Love Thomas of the west side. Business was discussed and plans were made to have a dance at the Apex night Club on Monday evening, June 16. The Business was closed, and the girls enjoyed the rest of the afternoon playing Five Hundred. Mrs. Martin Jenkins won first prize, Mrs. Woodard second, Mrs. Cates third. A dainty luncheon was served by the hostess. The meeting adjourned until next meeting with Mrs. Beatrice Cates.

Page----Six BOOK NOTES Following the discovery of a ninth planet in the vast regions of the solar system announced by Dr. Harlow Shapley. Director of the Harvard College observatory, the course entitled The Stars by Dr. Shapley, from the Reading with a purpose series published by the American Library Association is attracting much attention at the Helen Hunt Jackson and Vernon Branch Libraries. Written for the general public, this course consists of an introduction by Dr. Shapley and six books recommended for further reading, one of which is his own The Universe of Stars. In his introduction Dr. Shapley says, "In its language astronomy is a simple science, and without special training in words or ideas, the general reader can be led into some of the deepest secrets of the stars." All of this material will give a background to those who are interested in the new and as yet unnamed planet revolving about the sun at a distance so great that it is visible only through the most powerful telescopes. Larger than the earth and forty-five imes as far removed from the sun, the newly discovered planet, which is located beyond Neptune, hitherto considered the most distant member of the sun's family, was predicted by Dr. Percival Lowell of Harvard from exact mathematical calculations as early as 1905. It was sighted by a group of scientists working in conjunction with Dr. Shapley, at the Flagstaff observatory on Jan. 21st of this year, but the announcement was not made until the middle of March in order to verify the discovery. WATER BONDS WATER BONDS Mayor John C. Porter and H. A. Van Norman. Chief engineer and general manager of the Bureau of Water and Power Commissioners, are making a survey of projects authorized by the $38,800,000 Water Bond issue with the view of preparing a comprehensive program of development work and detailed cost data. "Now that the people have approved the Water Bond program we are prepared to push forward the actual work without unnecessary delay," said Mr. Van Norman. "It will be possible for us to begin work on certain phases of the construction program almost immediately. "All preliminary engineering studies in the Mono Basin will be pushed forward rapidly, but there is large volume of survey work to be completed there before actual construction is launched." "In view of the fact that the full flow of the Aqueduct will be required throughout the summer months, we will not begin work on the enlargement of the Aqueduct until this coming winter. At that time, when we have filled our close-in reservoirs to a point to give us a sufficient reserve supply near our homes and factories, we will shut off the flow of the Aqueduct at such time intervals as will enable us to carry forward with all dispatch the work of enlarging these sections of the conduit as will increase the carrying capacity of the water line up to 440 cubic feet of Water per second." Detailed estimates of each of the operations to be undertaken will be submitted to the Mayor and the Board of Water and Power (Commissioners for approval, it was stated before work is started. When each of the separate items is completed, a report of the actual cost will be made. Purchase of town and ranch properties in Owens Valley will be pushed ahead rapidly, it was indicated.

BATEMAN "Carry me back, to Ole Virginia. Dah's whail de cotten, corn and sweet potatoes grow; Carry me back to Qle Virginny Dah's whah de cotton and de corn and tatdes grow Dah's what de birds warble sweet in in de springtint Dah's what dis oie dahkeys heart does long to go. Contentment steals in on the long armed shadows of twilight. Far west, thesun has hidden its face behind the hills and mountains, reflecting a fading glory that blazes red and goldtn on the western horizon. Without, on the narrow country-like streets, only a few blocks removed from the center of the city, a rumble of wagon wheels, a clucking call of the driver as he urges the pace of his old horse or mule onward is heard. The clink, clink of a dinky trolley is interspersed with an auto horn or a call of workman to workman as they quit the streets for home. Within, the soft shadows and balminess of an early southern summer lurks intriguingly, one lung into the recesses of my mirail, curling my senses. All the exhaustion of the many days spent on the road seems to bear down on me and I sink deeper among the soft cushions, their embrace is intoxicating to my senses and I float into a subconsciousness of delight. Through. World Premiere for "Georgia Theater on Me A Scene from "GEORGIA CLARENCE BROOKS with an KING MINOR'S LEGION MIN STREL IS ADDED ATTRAC TION WITH NEW ALL COLORED TALKIE Comes the startling 'announcement that "Georgia Rose" the new seven veal all talking picture featuring Clarence Brooks and an all star Negro cast will have its world premiere at the Lineinco Theatre for three days starting Memorial Day. Public interest has been pensive since the completion of this picture a month ago and the announcement of the showing has created a mild sensation. STORY OF MODERN NEGRO THE story of "Georgia Rose" is an epic of the modern Negro. It deals with the northward migration of a southern family and their subsequent trials and triumphs. It is a blend of northern culture and refinement and southern hospitality woven into a very timely and interesting racial drama. The story is greatly enhanced by the selection of a capable and superb supporting cast. WORLD FAMOUS STARS Outstanding in the supporting cast over, under, by and in it all, there is drifting the distant echo of a constant thought that has been stilled. "Virginia-Ole Virginity at last!" Through the ages I could remain thusly, with only my thoughts and the quietude of twilight. My mind drifts as on clouds of ether. Faint are the scenes of my home-town. In the far far distances, thither and yonder, the dim outline of a familiar face is recognized. Los Angeles becomes a place of dreams. Way over on the opposite extremity of the continent, Isoace myself in the luxuries of the historic city—Richmond. Virginia. The buzz-buzz of voices recall me to the earth and to my sense of social obligations. Shadows scamper away, the blazing, artificial light covers over the dusky twilight, revealing the farms of many neighborly Virginians who wait to extend a welcome to the strangers within their gates. Even beneath lowered lids, the friendly curiosity of the group assembled is easily discerned. We are from California—to all Southerners and most easterners—"The Promised Land." They are expecting the unusual from us. The subdued excitement in their eyes tell me that a slight-o-hand trick would be in keeping to satiate their anticipations. However, I feel in no mood to display any wonder-signs, accrediting them to the land of sunshine, flowers and gold. I want to be just myself, to reach out a friendly hand in greeting—brown daughter of the west meeting the brown sons and daughters of the southeast. STORK VISITS POLICE STATION By A. N. P. NEW ORLEANS, La. May 28 The stork was flying fast on toward Rose Proctor, 21, when Clerk William Goff of the Eighth police precinct was notified of the impending event. He called Charity Hospital and ordered an ambulance to speed to the police station. Then he sent a patrol wagon for Rose so that he could have her on hand. As the young woman was in Goff's office awaiting the ambulance the great bird flapped in, bearing a little brown baby boy who will have to do a lot of explaining the rest of his life why he started where he started. Mother and child were transported to the hospital. "Georgia Rose" at Lincoln Memorial Day MA ROSE* featuring an all star Negro Cast are Ecky Preer, Edward Thompson, Spencer Williams, Eoberta Hyson, Irene Wilson, Dora Dean Johnson, Webb King, E. C. Dyer and Allegretti Anderson. The picture was produced by Aristo Films and directed by Harry A. Gant.

A. Municipal Camps HIGH SIERRA LAKE RECREATION LODGE CAMP SEELEY CABINS CAMP RADEORD PLUNGE RAINBOW FALLS Camp Seeley, Camp Radford, and Camp High Sierra, the mountain playgrounds operated by the L. A. Department of Playground and Recreation, will provide wholesome recreative vacations for thousands of families from June to September, at low rates made possible by municipal management Industrial Council Attracts Wider Interest For those who prefer the mountains as the scene of their vacation, these public playgrounds will again offer the happy recreative outings at low cost which thousands enjoyed last year. Because of municipal management, the three camps are able to provide young and old with all inclusive vacations on a non-profit basis which brings such excursions within the reach of people in all walks of life. Camp Seeley, in the San Bernardino mountains, will begin its summer season on June 8th. Because of its compact arrangements, its comfortable facilities, and the varied outdoor activities of this playground, its appeal has become widespread as a family vacation camp. Rustic cabins, swimming pool, and the community recreation lodge where dancing entertainment, and story-hours around the cheerful fireplace, result in friendly social evenings help to make outings at Seeley of interest to persons of all ages. (BY EDNA-GREENE SMITH) The second mass meeting of the Industrial Council, held Sunday afternoon, May 18 at the Wadsworth Seventh Day Adventist church was largely attended, and from the great amount of enthusiasm and interest manifested, it is clearly seen that our group may soon hope for a decided change in its economic status. Prominent among those present were some of the city's most serious minded men and, women, which proves beyond a doubt the benefits to be derived through such organized effort. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. Pearl Gallerson, in the absence of the president, Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass, who on account of illness, was unable to be present. A well arranged program consisting in part of the following numbers was rendered: Opening song, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by the congregation; Invocation, Elder Rodgers; address by Dr. W. F. Watkins; address on the Relation of the Negro Newspaper to the Economic Freedom of the Community by Mrs. Elizabeth Smith; solo, Miss Lorraine Winston; blackboard demonstration, Mr. Mentis Career; solo, Miss Helena Smith; reading, Mme. Mozelle Te Outley; closing remarks by Elder P. G. Rodgers. The meeting was dismissed by Dr. Wm.R. Carter. Each of the speakers painted graphic word pictures of the respective subject treated. Dr. Watkins, who is one of the leading dentists of Los Angeles, very plainly pointed out While the camp features one and two weeks outings on the American plan a number of housekeeping cottages and an auto camp take care of those who prefer this type of accommodation. Hiking and horseback riding are two of the most popular sports at Camp Radford, which will open on June 15th located in one of the most picturesque regions of the San Bernardino mountains, the playground is a hub from which trails to numberless points of interest radiate. On the slope of a tall ridge which looks across to Mount San Gorgonio (Old Grabback), a vast country of forests, streams, and mountains rolls away from the edge of this playground, itself 6000 feet above sea level. Trips to Barton Flats, Big Meadows, Forsee Falls, and Big Bee Lake go on foot or horseback through a territory unspoiled by civilization are popular. Radford diversions. The ascent of mighty Old Grabback, Southern California's highest mountain peak, climaxes for, many vacationists their stay at Radford. Within the camp, itself, facilities for swimming, tennis, playground, ball archery, "tin-can golf", and other sports offer a variety of camp recreations. A community dining hall, a children's playground, and a social center building vacationists at Radford together in friendships and companionship. to his hearers the importance of latrizing and encouraging our own business and professional men and women that they might be able to stand out and take their proper place in the community, in order that there be an incentive furnished for our young people. He attributed the low percentage of graduates among our youth each year to the small proportion of successful businesses and professions among us—in other words that unless young people have something definite set before them as concrete examples of what they may hope to attain, they will lessen their endeavors and not strive as eagerly to make the most of their opportunities. Dr. Watkins ended his remarks by saying that we would continue to be slaves just so long as we were consumers and not producers. Mrs. Smith, who spoke regarding the newspaper's place in the community, presented many splendid thoughts for the consideration of the audience, saying among other things that she was a little afraid we, as a race, do not properly appreciate the value of the Negro newspaper—that without the use of printer's ink no cause could be developed or preserved. She paid a glowing tribute to the California Eagle, which as she said, is the oldest Race journal of the West, and is always to be found first in promoting anything that tends toward the advancement and improvement of our group. She pleaded for a greater consideration, realization and appreciation of the Negro newspaper. Camp High Sierra, which starts its season on June 22, is the most distant of the Los Angeles municipal camps. Located in the Mammoth Lakes region of the High Sierras, in Mono County, the Playground has been built in a place where "California's Alp," may be most fully enjoyed. Surrounded on all sides by great mountain peaks, towering tota height of 13,000 foot and more, and within easy reach of rushing torrents and clear blue lakes, this 8,000 foot high canyon serves a center from which excursions into the surrounding territory are made. Fisherman, hikers, outdoor people of all kinds each year find this camp a comfortable place to make their headquarters for a visit in the High Sierras. Registration (for outings) to take place any time during the summer are now being made at a special camp booth established by the Playground and Recreation Department in the Los Angeles City Hall. Due to impracticities in service and a greater choice in the matter of vacation date, larger attendance is expected during, 1930 than last year. Early reservations, for this reason, have been advised by municipal camp officials for those planning to spend their vacations at Camp Seeley, Camp Radford, or Camp High Sierra. Rev. E. W. Moore, pastor of Metro politism Baptist church, Pasadena, was scheduled for the main address but in his absence, Elder P. G Rodgers pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist church, very kindly consented to say a few words; and indeed had he been the scheduled 'speaker,' his remarks could no have been more fitting. Elder Rodgers is a clear thinker and a convincing 'speaker.' He took for the basis of his talk the verse in Proverbs, "Seeth thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before mean men." Also 1 Tim. 5:8. "But if any provide not for his own and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel," and from these verses, he showed plainly that we should use our religion in our business—that such was what the Lord intended. He suggested some ways and means by which the Council might stimulate greater interest in its program for economic freedom. The musical part of the program was under the direction of Mme. Te Outley, to whom as well as to each of the speakers, the organization is very grateful. At the close of the meeting the mistress of ceremonies asked those present who had not given their names as members of the Council, to do so, and as a result many new names were added to the list, all of whom will be notified as to the time and place of the next meeting.

LINCOLN THEATRE CENTRAL AVENUE AT 23rd National Negro Music Festival Crowns Philadelphia Music Week Celebration National Negro Music Festival Crowns Philadelphia Music Week Celebration By CARL DITON Philadelphia. May 28—For A.N.P.—As a fitting close of the National Music Week Celebration held locally this year, the American Interracial Peace Committee sponsored by the American Friends' Service Committee launched its second annual national Negro music Festival in the form of its usual double afternoon and evening concert. The purpose of this presentation is to annually bring before the white and colored people of Philadelphia and vicinity the best instrumental and vocal Negro talent thentotorefo little known as well as those who have already made a record in the annals of Negro music. It is needless to say that the movement is a very important one and because of the great expense involved is today the 7 outstanding contribution launched anywhere in America, at least by Negroes. A soprano, contralto, pianist, clobster, made glee chin, mixed chorus, instrumenta trio and a group of jubilee singers made up the musical offering, arinda Dunningan, soprano, with Charline Howard at the piano in a group of songs and spirituals, gave much pleasure in her exceptionally enunciation, R. Augustus Lawson, pianist and perhaps the most successful pedagogue in Page---Seven the Negro race, offered a group of piano numbers in two of which he displayed his usual delicately poised pianistic articulation. Louis Jones, violinist, Marie Young, accompanist, brought out much of the beautiful tone for which Mr. Jones a few years ago is signally remembered. The Trouveres instrumental trio, primarily a local organization, showed very definitely the advance made among Negroes in chamber music. The Howard University male glee club sang all medieval work with exceptional tonal control and the Musical Arts Society, a mixed chorus from the same institution, displayed careful training, which was particularly noticeable in the beauty of the soprano section. Both organizations were led by Roy Tibbs. As a bit of contrast, the Fisk Singers sang in their own inimitable way some Spirituals. It was, however, left to Marian Anderson, distinguished contralto with William Ring; her accompanist, to bring the well-filled Academy of Music audience to its fullest sense of appreciation. She was recalled and recalled. An eightyfully so, for the beautiful legato she is of late developing and the seriousness and added depth she is putting into her interpretations, render her move worthy of the concert prestige she now enjoys second only to Roland Hayes. There were two incidental solos in the musical offerings of the Musical Arts Society most worthy of mention: the floating quality of Elizabeth Sinkferd 'Thomton's voice, and the bigness of Louise Burge's vocal organ, a vocal newcomer at Howard. William Allen and Alladin' Redmond accompanied the Howarotts. And Alfred Johnson, supervisor of the Washington. D. C. public schools music, very efficiently carried out a program that was doubtless conceived by the visionary Leslie Tinknay Hill and set in motion by the resourceful Alice Dunbar Nelson.

The ranks of dark blue have blended with the blue of lighter shade, so familiar in the Spnish-American war, and these in turn with the khaki of the great World War, assuming a continuance in its present form of Memorial Day observance. But even should it be that no future wars should furnish martyrs, the gratitude of the American people to their soldier dead will make perpetual an annual day in which to pay them tribute. Inspiring as is the procession, eloquent as may be the orator, touching as may be the flowering of veterans' graves, these seem wholly inadequate as honors to the departed and the living. These men fought and died in battle and prison camp not that their sacrifices might be the annual ocasion of spectacle and ceremony. Theirs was a nobler mission, a finer purpose. They fought for a principle, for an ideal, which they had right to expect their heirs would hold safe and secure. Gratitude and appreciation are not alwys just expressed by lips and gestures. What America owes these warriors is more than the suspension of business one day a year, more than applause and cheers when their flag is carried by, more than pensions and bonus, more than spoken or written eulogy. A greater part of that debt is in firm and fixed resolution to carry forward and upward the ideals for which these men bled and died, to make secure the victory they won, to translate into results the noble purposes that stirred their souls. Business is going to be good this year for those who make it good. Sales will not be poured out of a cornucopia into the laps of those who wait for business to come to them. They will be squeezed out of a tough tube a sale at a time. Those golden days when anybody could make money in business are dead. We have got away from cut-throat methods, but competition remains to make business a fight rather than a game. Business is going to be good this year for those who make it good. Sales will not be poured out of a cornucopia into the laps of those who wait for business to come to them. They will be squeezed out of a tough tube a sale at a time. Those golden days when anybody could make money in business are dead. We have got away from cut-throat methods, but competition remains to make business a fight rather than a game. Of all the great aids given to business by government, the greatest are the tariff and a sound currency and credit. But learing on Washington is like leaning on a rubber cane. Paternalism in bureaucratic aid is the rubber cane of business. Sane, sensible newspaper advertising is its strong right arm. Advertising actually has a mission. That mission has to do with people. Its object is to inspire people with confidence—as a preliminary to selling them something with which they will be pleased. Advertising is the word and the mouth, the literature and the voice of business—and business is the one great public heroism which is left to most of us in this workaday world. There is nothing vitally wrong with business, but quite a good deal is wrong with its management. Perhaps, the worst feature of the recent business setback was the fact that it gave guilty managements and feeble executives one more opportunity to enter an alibi. Who will again doubt the benevolence of science? No grower, bart- erer or lover of watermelon will, at least. Whether fruit, vegetable or herb, the watermelon has always had a host of friends. People like berries, grapefruit, peaches and cantaloupe, but their attachment to the watermelon is something deeper and more enduring. One thing only the watermelon was thought to lack. It is beauteous; it is luscious; it is satisfying. Its inner shell of somber green, its inner lining of white, its luscious red contrasting irresistibly with the rich mahogany of its ripened seeds, are as satisfying to the painter as its full-flaxored sweetness to the epicure. But still it was supposed to fall short of the ideal. For even those most addicted to its consumption never gave it credit for being nourishing. Here is where science proves its benevolence. The department of agriculture has discovered that watermlons are chock-full.of four kinds of vitamins. Any fruit, or whatever a watermelon is, that boasts one vitamin can get by with the dietitians. But four of them! What a fruit. That reminds us the first watermelon ought to be along soon. There is a young man who is known around the neighborhood as Postage Stamp, not being able to stick. Having read something to the effect that a hippopotamus spends 12 hours a day in the bath, a friend wonders whether there isn't one rooming in his lodging house. "What is your verdict?" they asked the great paleontologist, who had dug up three old bones and was fitting them together. "It's a dinosaur, and he needed glasses." "A New Jersey state legislator has carried the same umbrella continuously for 50 years." It must be irksome, though, to sit in the barber chair, holding an umbrella. COMMENTS W. J. WIHEATON Paul Roberson, thrilled a London England, audience at the Savoy theatre, by his artistic rendition of "Othello" in the Shakespeare play of that title. The general run of the London critics say that seldom have they, if ever witnessed a more finished and artistic characterization of the "Jealous Moor." It has been one of the big aspirations of Robeson to play the title role in the Shakespearian drama. When he went to England with the Show Boat company he intrenched himself as a stage favorite. He gave up his career as a lawyer to adopt the stage. His was a success from the beginning. Possessed of a magnificent physique, a splendid voice and a brilliant education, there was but one barrier between him and achievement. He has overcome that handicap abroad: In foreign climes: Will he be able to make the hurdle when h ereturns to his native heath? Here: In the United States, we lauded his singing of th Negro spiritual. We went into ectasy over his singing of "Old Man River." What are we going to do when he returns as an actor compared with Keene; Booth; McCullough, and other great thespians who have enacted the role? We wait patiently to see if the triumph of art can overcome the prejudice of color. Did you know that Sherman, Texas, scene of the most hideous spectacle of human "animalism exhibited in recent years, has two colleges, twenty seven churches and twelve city parks? That it has the title of "Athens of Texas," and is pointed out with pride as one of the interesting points of Texas culture and refinement? Well: It is! Where did that howling mob originate that took such delight in the public display of barbarism? Surely they were not the co-eds, and students of the colleges, nor members of the twenty-seven churches.

Which way the votes will blow. The candidates who take a decided stand, and declare themselves, will have an advantage over the "strddler."

The organized Negro vote of Pennsylvania supported both Davis and Pinchot. Both candidates have been fair in their attitude toward the Negro voter Pinchot, when governor, appointed Edward Henry as Municipal Magistrate. He appointed another Negro on the Athletic Commission. Other outstanding appointment throughout the state were made by the former Governor who judged men by their ability rather than by greed dor color. The attitude of Secretary Davis is well known. The late Phil Brown who served under him as meditator in labor disputes, said: "No finer example of American manhood could be found under the flag of this country." The voter of color showed their gratitude by giving him their solid support. It takes organization to win recognition.

It seems that a faction of the war veterans are dissatisfied with Fitts, and are not in sympathy with any of the other aspirants. So there is the rub. The majority of the veterans will give their support to Governor C. C. Young. He has done more for their advancement through legislative enactment than ever before was accomplished. It is the consensus of opinion among the veterans that there can be no better outlook for the future than a review of the past.

Findings, after an investigation made by the Anti-Saloon League, have proven the falsity of the charge that, that amount was contributed to the Young campaign on the promise to appoint Freidlander as State Corporation Commissioner.

With this information we know that a question mark is raised in the mind of any fair-minded person as to the truth, and to strengthen the suspicion now in your mind, I might say that I was given the name of a coloured maid who works at the hospital (the name withheld from this column for reasons best known) who is quoted as saying that she looked at the woman and that nothing is wrong with her except a few scratches on her hand. The story current that George Hughes was a 'stray, unknown Negro, is also erroneous, according to the information we received. He was well known in Honey Grove, his home, and it is alleged that one of the guards men said he hore a good reputation in Honey Grove. Enough for that. We slipped into Sherman about 9 o'clock Monday night. My motor had sprung a leak in the side-wall, and I was having to replace the water in the radiator about every seven miles, so when I arrived at the outskirts of the motorm, city, I had decided upon the justification I would have for stopping there. "How do you get through here to Denison?" I asked the filling station operator as I alighted on the edge of the city for more water. The man graped when he saw my companion and I were Negroes. "I've got a bad motor here, and I do not know whether I can get there or not, but I must get through tonight if I can." I said. "Well, the highway goes straight ahead, but I do not think the guard will let you by," said the man, looking straight at me, "What guard?" I countered. "Why man, this town is under marital law and, the streets right in front of you are full of soldiers," explained my informant. I acted puzzled for a moment and then said, "Well, I seem to be up against it, but guess I'll try to get through." I steered on my starter and drove off into the night. A car was directly in front of us. Beyond we could observe quite a commotion in the street, and as we drew near, we could see men marching, and just as we discerned that they were soldiers, a sentry in the center of the square cried, "Halt!". I noticed that the guard waved his arm, the car in front turned to the right, but I knew enough about Sherman to turn to the left, if I were going to land in the Negro section proper. In the black darkness, two blocks below we held a council of war. How were we going to locate colored people when there were none on the streets, and the homes were ullighted everywhere? Avoiding the main streets, we drove in circles for fully thirty minutes. We were satisfied that we were in the colored section, because it looked like the usual Negro habitat. "Look!" cried my companion, "aren't those colored women coming yonder?" We let the car roll slowly and watched as the women approached the corner from a side street. As they reached the intersection I gave the car a little gas and a whirl and was by their side before they could realize what had happened. "Come here," I said to the nearest girl. She didn't move, she seemed frozen to the ground and her breast heaved. She was standing not over three feet from the car. "Come here," I repeated, and she took one step forward. I finally got her up to the car and as she stood there I suspect that the fright and terror began to subside for she finally said, "Ain't you all colored?" "Yes," I said, and I began to tell the story about the car being out of commission and the necessity of our finding some place to stay that night. "Lord! I thought you were soldiers and that you had arrested me," said the older woman. In a few minutes they were busy telling us where we might get a place to stop. They said that they lived just one block away and had ventured out for a breath of air, when accosted by us. air, when accosted by us. "We followed them back a block and were able to secure a bed in the home of their haunt, an old codified woman who argued a long time with the girls about the matter while we stood in the distance. She finally was convinced by the girls that we were not white folks blacked up and we had found lodgings in Sherman, Texas, for the night." It might be well for me to say right here that the god of luck was with us when we met those two girls, for it happened that the younger of the two was the one who could give a better story about what had happened and how it happened than any other Negro in that city. It was this girl who was taken down into the heart of the city, into the very midst of the mob by her white employer, while she secreted herself down in the rear seat and peeped out. 'It was this girl who was able to tell of the glee of the college boys and the women with babies in their arms as they sang. "Happy Days are Here Again.' The next morning we were up at light. We had contacted the soldiers in large numbers the night before when we slipped out to a little restaurant to eat. The presence of the soldiers gave us more confidence as to our security and we were determined to go down into the city and view the ruins and get a closeup on the whites who had wrecked such unseemly vengeance upon innocent citizens. The car, of course, was the excuse for going 'down in town. We had to get the car, at least that was the song we sang to everybody. It was our justification for living there instead of Denison. The first repair man spent his time telling us how the car could not be fixed, so we left there and went on. A few blocks more and we were on the main street, from which we were banned the night before. Soldiers were everywhere. At a filling station we were directed to another repair shop where when we arrived we saw our first black face down toes! Everybody seemed to be greatly interested in the sign on the trunk of that car. "Oklahoma City." The colored man at the repair shop saw the sign, too, and seemed to be much surprised, although he said nothing. Having made arrangements for the car to be fixed, we inquired the way to the telegraph office from the manager and when his back was turned we made inquiries as to the distance to the burlen-dour house from the Negro attendant. He said it was in the next block so out we sauntered into "No Man's Land." Looking at the gutted county building was of no particular importance. It was the attitude of the whites who observed our presence where we found the greater interest. I really believe there are more white people in Sherman, Texas, who are ashamed of what has happened than there are of the class who are proud. You know how proudly a white man carries himself both men and the women. As they thronged down the streets past us, we could see them dropping their eyes and looking down. That bold stare with head erect of the Nordic was gone and in its place was substituted the expression of the child when he is conscious of having done wrong. You could see them watching you out of the corner of their eyes, but always when you looked full in their faces their eyes dropped. Back in the repair shop the white attendant wanted to be friendly. In fact, all of the whites whom we accosted for any purpose seemed to be overly friendly in a sort of mechanical way which lacked the sincerity that springs from real brotherhood. "I tell you we have had an awful time there," he said. "We employees were right here where we had to work amid all of the confusion Friday and Saturday, but we stayed on the job. I'm for the right thing," he continued. "I believe it was all right for them to go and that nigger, but I do not believe it was right to burn up the property of those who had nothing to do with the trouble. I know Dr. Goodson and his family, and I do not believe there is a better man in this town," he continued. We located a white photographer. He stated that he did not have any Friday, May 30, 1930 BY THE DEACON RECKLESS DRIVERS Johnnie Jones, grove his automobile On a railroad right-of-way.

A white man down the street directed us to another picture shop across the street in mustache. "Good morning!" said the man as he came from the rear. "What can I do for you?" "I though perhaps you had made some pictures of the burned courthouse and the body of the Negro lynched which I could secure!" I said. The man stood there a moment and his face began to take on a wholly different expression, finally exploded. "No, I haven't got any pictures," he shouted. "I think too much of Sherman, Texas, to take such a picture and let it be circulated out in the world. The G-d. sons of——who burned up that courthouse ought to be in hell, and I wish I knew some sort of way to out, them all there." He reached in his pocket for his handkerchief, as he paused for a spell, but he did not have to brush his eyes, although I believe tears would have gushed from them if he had said another word. He stood there a moment and then returned to another string of oaths and imprecations which he heaped upon the heads of the mob. We slipped out, but we had not given up the chase. We found our way to another shop around in front of the courthouse. "Yes, I have plenty of them" announced the man in this establishment when we told him our wants. He reached up on the shelf and took down a pile of pictures from which we selected five views. There certainly is a lot of difference between white foli, we found out in Sherman Texas. Leaving down town we went back to the Negro section and listened for hours to harrowing stories of the black right: spent in duches, ravines, and isolated places. It was the radio on Friday night, which had been put in a new and terrible use. What would you think and how would you feel in your home, listening to a radio make this announcement: "The record vault is now being entered at the court house. Mob leaders declare that the nigger is not found there, and they discover they have been tricked by the sheriff, they will immediately proceed to kill every Negro in Sherman and burn their homes." Being black, how would you like to have the radio announcer deliver this message to you in your own town tonight? The agency of such a moment would shame St. Bartholomew's night. Think of the terror that gripped a 70-year-old mother, who went into hysteries and who screamed and shrieked and screamed throughout the night. Our action is that the government should investigate such use of the radio in the hands of a brutal inhuman bloodthirsty mch. Campbell vs. Kirby, Olympic Tuesday Night -: House vs. Clisby, Pasadena June 12 SPRT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES VOLUME 42 HARRY LEVE FRANKIE CAMPBELL A AT THE OLYM All winter long there was argument along Spring street, Central avenue, in the gyms and in the papers as to which of the two would score if ever Frankie Campbell and Les Kennedy came to bat. At last it was settled for good and all May 12 at Wrigley's Field when Campbell, "the Mexican Jack Dempsey" stole the show from Emanuel and Maloney by suddenly knocking out Kennedy in one of the Olympic's most thrilling battles. Now Campbell is more of a sensation than ever, so under the careful but expert guidance of Tom Maloney he bids fair to follow in the footsteps of his famous namesake who toppled Jess Willard from his diamond studded throne. Frankie will meet Tom Kirby of Boston, in the 10-round main event of the Olympic program billed for Tuesday, June 3. Matchmaker Wadhams closed for the bout, with Cal Working and Tom Maloney representing Campbell and Dan Carroll signing for the eastern battler. These heavyweights will scale around 180 pounds each. Kirby has fought only one fight since coming west, defeating Jimmy Hanna at the Olympic recently. He is a tried and experienced performer and has some good wins in his record book. Kirby shapes up as a good boxer, but lacks the kick of the "Italian Dempsey." Taking special pains with the preliminary bouts, Matchmaker Wad Wadhams has lined up a card any one of which is as good as a main event. CARLO HAS GOOD PRELEMINARIES Four-round 'bouts will back up the double event at the Main Street Athletic club Saturday night. Sandy Casanova and Jack Venable, 165 pounders, will clash in the six-round windup and Manual Trevino will meet Sergio Redam in a second six-rounder. They are 120-pounders. The four-round bouts are: William Koesabbain vs. Evans Fortune, 165 pounds; Lee Murchison vs. Gene Mullen, 154 pounds; Sol Ortega vs. Johnny Christmas, 133 pounds; Joe Saldi-var vs. Henry Celava, 135 pounds. Olympic Games Here to Be Greatest Ever The County Board of Supervisors formulated a cablegram to the Olympic congress, now in session in Berlin, Germany, assuring that reconstruction work on the Los Angeles Coliseum will be completed in time for the Olympic games here in 1932. GREATEST ENTRY LIST At the Olympic congress it was decided to permit four entries from each nation, as in 1928. In the winter sports, events, to be held at Lake Placid, each nation will be allowed four entries and four substitutes. European nations favored reducing the number of entrants, but the arrangements made by the Los Angeles Olympic committee to transport athletes to the games at a cost of $400 each gained support for the Americans in their fight against reduction. That there will be a larger number of colored entries is a foregone conclusion for never before has there been so great incentive for ambition in athletic pursuits. With a black ring champion, golf king and sprint ace the other athletes of the race feel encouraged. Miss Esther Louise Beck, charming niece of Mrs. J. S. Burington of So Berendo Street, and bride-elect of Mr. Charles Bruce, Jr., whose marriage will be solemnized in June, was the incentive for a three o'clock tea including boudoir and bath shower on last Saturday given by Miss Aurora Slater at the home of her aunt, Mrs. J. H. Graham more than fifty guests called during the afternoon hours bringing many beautiful gifts nad felicitations. The Misses Marjorie Ball, Lula Perdue, Dorothy O'Neal, Marjorie Johnson and Mrs. Dorothy Hoskins-Benton assisted the hostess in receiving. Mr. C. S. Young, Mr. Wiley M. Fowler and Mr. Ted Miller, of San Francisco motored to Los Angeles Sunday to spend a few days. All are former residents of Los Angeles, and feel very much at home in the city renewing old acquaintances and making new ones. No Color Bar to Annual Municipal Net Tourney Although colored players would be treated fairly and courteously, there has been no contestant in the open net meet since three years ago when Josephine Brown so pluckily played Helen Marlowe, present State woman champion. Los Angeles' annual municipal tennis tournament, which was originally scheduled to start on June 18, will get under way on June 15 instead, according to Ned Wheldon, chairman of the tournament committee of the Municipal Tennis Association, and D. W. Lott of the city Playground and Recreation Department. This event, which has grown in importance every year until it is now recognized as one of the most important annual net tourneys held in Los Angeles, is again due to attract the finest of the municipal court stars of the city. Entry blanks were sent out by Playground Department headquarters last week, and all entrants must have their applications in by June 12, officials in charge have announced. Men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles, and mixed doubles will be included in the tournament, for which advance entries indicate the largest list of competitors in its history. 89 TEAMS IN MUNICIPAL BASE BALL LEAGUE. With a total of 86 teams, playing in 11 different leagues, the municipal base ball season is off to a flying start in Los Angeles, according to schedules just released by the Playground and Recreation Department. The large number of teams which have been organized in factories, stores, offices, banks, and many other organizations provide the opportunity for hundreds of players to participate in the sport which is the object of the municipal recreation department in promoting its various leagues and tournaments. SMALL CROWD SEES CULVER OPENING Augie De Mille and Red Stephens fought eight rounds to a draw at the Culver City stadium last week. Other results: Ritchie Thomas, decision over Pete Savida; Russell Brock, decision over Chet Thompson; Dan Lidas, decision over Frankie Mann; Johnny Christmas, decision over Joe Solidas, and Felix Marasigan, decision over Roy Salisbury. As the crowd was very small it is hoped by SI Saeny, promoter, that the good bouts of the opener will bring the fans out heavier next time. Jack McVey Gets Nod Over Joe Peregrina In a good battle that justified a capacity crowd of 7,500 instead of some 3000 fans, Jack McVey took a decision over Joe Peregrina in the 10-round windup of Carlo Curtis' open air boxing show at the White Sox ball park, Saturday night. The first and third, which went to Peregrina because of his aggressiveness. Andy Martin won by a technical knockout over Benny Kid Carter in the first 10-round bout. The end came in the second round, after Carter had gone to the floor twice. Abbie Miller took a decision over Danny Robles in six rounds while Augie Curtis knocked out Phil Villaneuva in the first. Joe Borola was given a draw with Jiro Kumagai, and Kintaro Usuda stopped Phil Resnick in the third round of the first fight. Central Plunge to Have Busy Season With Central Plunge on 22nd street affording aspiring young men an opportunity to perfect themselves as life guards for the Municipal beaches, it is looking forward to a busy season. The long delayed swimming season having finally arrived with the advent of warm weather, thousands of people are flocking to the Los Angeles municipal plunges for a cooling splash in these pools, according to attendance figures of the city Playground and Recreation Department released this week. This season is confidently expected to set new marks for municipal pool patronage, judging by the response which has greeted such innovations as the reduced rates for children 10 to 14 years of age, additional safety precautions, and other improvements. BEACHES CROWDED SUNDAY Although the weather was only moderately warm, the official reading reaching 78, record crowds for this year were reported at all beach cities. There were several rescues at Redondo, Hermosa, Venice and Santa Monica, but no casualties, police and deputy sheriffs reported. Cherokee Tom Cox Develops New "Heavy" New York, May 28.—"Cherokee Tom" Cox, manager of Baby Joe Gans, has discovered a new heavy, weight fighter. He is a quiet, easy-going fellow, some six feet tall, weighing 190 pounds, a fine specimen of youth, by name Jack Lowery. Lowery who attracted considerable attention in fistic circles when he was an amateur in the 'Salem-Crescent Circle, has been engaged to train Big George for the Carnera fight, which the fight commission of Pennsylvania has sanctioned. When he was only 17 he was training with Knut Hansen! He has worked with Tiger Payne, Jack Townsend, Al Walker, and many other heavyweights of more or less ability. Jack, himself, is not ready for a shot at the big fellows, although he is rarin' to go. His manager, Tom Cox is bringing him along slowly, but surely and within a year or so, Cox will sick him on the heavies and if Lowery keeps his word, there will be another good colored fighter out there socking and blocking with the best of them.

Associate Editor Gallant Fox took Sande to his third Kentucky Derby victory, the other two having been won aboard Zey and Flying Ebony. Isaac Murphy, world famous old colored jockey set the record by winning the race in 1884, 1890, and 1891, on Buchanan, Riley, and Kingman, respectively. Four times, in addition to his Derby exploits, Murphy had the leg on winners of the then famous American Derby at Washington Park, Chicago—Modesty, 1884; Volante, 1885; Silver Cord, 1886; and Emperor of Norfolk, 1888. He won the Saratoga Cup in 1881 with Checkmate and again in 1886 with Volante. He took the Brooklyn Derby with Emperor of Norfolk in 1888. His Derby victories of those days were real accomplishments, especially his sensational sweep of the American, which at that time usurped the spotlight now resigned to the Kentucky Derby. Oscar Clisby is World's First Golf Champ When Oscar J. Clisby took a club from the well experienced little white raddy who accompanied him and smacked the pill out of the rough and it sailed up flicking the leaf of a big tree in passing he lost sight of it. But the crowd did not and far away they saw it roll close to the hole on the eighteenth green in one of the best shots the big gallery ever watched. They burst out into applause and that applause meant history. For the first time in the history of the game a Negro holds a championship in a mixed tournament. All other contestants were white and the matches were hard and closely played. Clisby's score was 30-78-72-76 P. J. Cahill and B. Lucas tied for runner-up with 310. CK HOUSE AND NEII REMATCH They meet Thursday, June 12 at the Pasadena Arena and a match full of thrills is sure to greet the fans who journey from Los Angeles and surrounding towns to see it. House promises to turn tables on Mr. Clisby, but the shifty Riverside boy is just as determined to beat him. What a whale of a war that argument is going to make! ```markdown ``` Sandy (K.0.) Garrison Heads Main Street Bill Ace Loses Decision To Dave Shade Ace Hudkins the "Nebraska Wildcat has faced many ant opponent in the padded arena but never one of such peculiar style as Dake Shade at the Olympic last Tuesday night. For all his splendid condition and his terrific aggressiveness the Cat was plainly puzzled as to how to get Shade out of that low crouching style where he could rip him open with hooks to the body or knock him out with right crosses to the jaw. Low blows for which Ace was warned were caused by Shade being so near the floor at each exchange that when he blocked a blow it threw it below the belt. A capacity crowd followed the sensational Ace to meet his hardest recent opponent. Wally Frazer, substituting for Roy Moore, won over Tom Morgan by a technic knockout in the fourth round. They fought at 170 pounds. Morgan was a sparring partner for Hudkins. KID NORTH PUTS IN COLORED HELP AT MEDOW-BROOK STABLES Coming as a bit of interesting information is a message from Kid North at San Diego that he is putting in colored employees at the great Meadow-brook stables near Ontario. There are about 14 men of other races working in and about the well appointed home of the thousands of dollars worth of blooded stock there. Kid North one of the few great colored race track men left holds the very important position of head trainer at the stables and during each meet at Tia Juana and now Agua Caliente, has had a number of prize winners. A number of the best and most experienced colored track men have been secured by Mr. North for the positions ALABAMA TEACHERS' NINE WINS (B: A. N. P.)

Here he has already such stars as Bert Colima the everlasting drawing card, Ernie Owens and other big main eventers in his stable, but here he comes with another just about ready to blossom into big club main event class. Nearly every Saturday night this winter, Sandy Garrison Casanova, one of his youngest fighters has whispered, "I'll stop 'im one" or "I 'im two" as he climbed into the Main Street A. C. ring on Saturday nights and stop 'em he did just like, that until his record for quick K. O's equals the one Peregrina made there, a year ago, and his drawing power is as great. As Sandy climbs in the fans start out exclaiming, "Won't be long now!" But this week the tall good looking kid is up against it. Carlo Curtis has hunted around until he has dug up just about the toughest baby he has tied up with vet. Sandy will box Jack Venable of Oakland in the six-round windup at the Main Street club Saturday night. Manuel Trevina and Sergo Redam, bantamweights, will box the six-round semi-windup. Jack comes from the Bay Cities with a record equalling Sandy's and threatens to steal his thunder. A crack card of preliminaries are carded by the "Kid Promoter."
