Fitts for Governor Rally Tonight, Auditorium 14th St. School, Between Birch and Hooper Elks Receive Big Ovation By A.N.P. Chicago, Ill., June 17—William Bottoms, popular night life impresario, and former owner of Dreamland Cabaret here, was captured by a gangster and held for several hours Wednesday night of last week. Bottoms now manages the new Villa De Luxe Road House, a pretentious place just outside the city limits, which is owned by Andrew Smith and Robert Branner, was held up at the door of the establishment by a white thug who pressed a gun to his side, forced him in a car and drove away. For three hours he drove him hither and thither until Buttons thought he surely was being taken "for a ride." Finally, he robbed him of thirty dollars, dumped him out three miles from the roadhouse, and ordered him to walk home. By A.N.P. New Orleans, La., June 17—Louise Miller, 21, was held up and her throat slashed by an unidentified, white man. The Miller girl broke a heel off her shoe and was hunting a repair shop when a strange white man approached and offered assistance, she said. He offered to guide her to a shop. When they were in a dark section on the street, he asked her if she had any money. Becoming suspicious she placed $5.00 in her mouth and handed him 45 cents. The bandit slashed her throat with a knife and fled. The girl was taken to Charity Hospital. By A.N.P. New Orleans, La., June 17—The body of a man found in the river at Jesmit Bend a few days ago and believed to be that of the man who jumped from a Casal Street ferry May 21, was identified June 9th, as Robert Morris, a cook.

WHY THE HULLABALOO ABOUT LEADERSHIP? SOME MEN are born leaders, some are made leaders while still others achieve leadership through great toil and hard knocks. Dr. Elzora.Gibson, imbued with the same spirit that inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe, when she wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin," some months ago sensing the need of organization among Negro women consulted the Republican Study Club of this city as to making Negro women a part of that organization which has as its theme, the study of citizenship rights to the end that women, all women, be placed on an equal basis, politically, with men. In her attempt to make the proper hitch-up, Dr. Gibson was advised to lay her plans for such organization before Mrs. Helen Werner, which she did, and the organization of Republican Study Club units was the result. At first the idea went over big and the thoughtful in our group expressed high praise and commendation for this act on the part of Dr. Gibson. With malice toward none and good feeling toward all, it is not our desire at this time to arouse the animosity of any but to set forth the facts as we see them in this case to the end that out of chaos, permanent peace will come. Now that the campaign for selection of the next governor for the State of California is in full blast, the Eastside seems to be all agog over the idea of an invisible controversy as to whether we shall have white or colored leadership, individuals (white) inject themselves into Negro life, it is perfectly natural for us to be suspicious concerning their active presence in our midst, but in the case of Dr. Gibson, it is an enigma to us as to how or why this suspicion should be aroused toward her, for certainly she has no political axe to grind. She is just a case of one of those souls blazing its path where highways never ran, trying in an humble way to be a friend to the black man. Dr. Gibson did not make her first appearance in colored ranks through the organization of Republican Study Clubs. For the past few years she has been a part of every activity which speaks for race advancement in this community, being a member of the local branch of the National Association of Colored People and the only member having paid $500 for a life membership in that organization. She has proven her friendship in no uncertain way. Never through deed or word has she expressed a desire to displace colored leadership by injecting herself to this exalted position or by recommending any other white person to that place. The Negro has baffled even science in its attempt to establish facts that there was a difference in brain capacity between the white and black man, hence it isn't a matter with us of black leadership or white leadership but just leadership, so we should be the last ones to raise this question. What we want and what we demand is that as Americans we should take our place in the onward march of civilization according to our ability for leadership and not according to the color of our skin. Truly, we have a fight to make, but is it not a fact that in this fight against white leadership that we have our guns on the wrong party? TEXAS RECORDS ANOTHER LYNCHING GOVERNOR MOODY of. Texas, who has sent a special ambassador to Europe to explain about the Sherman, Texas lynching, should have waited until the close of the lynch year and have the commissioner while he was about it, explain them all. Bryan, Texas, June 18, records another lynching to the credit of the barbarities of the Lone Star state. It's the same old story. Bill Roan, who worked on the farm of Mrs. Henry Bowman, is accused of attempted assault on the woman. Roan's body was found filled with buckshot about (Continued on Page Two) At a second meeting at the K. P. hall more than 150 were present. It was at this meeting when the organization prompted by the example of Mr. H. A. Reeves, began its existence by raising a finance fund to defray its own expense of holding meetings and prosecuting the Fitts for Governor Campaign in this section, therefore the organization goes on record to finance its own activities. Mr. Reeves subscribed $10.00 a total initial fund was formed for more than $125.00.

AMERICAN WOMEN MEET BLACK ABYS-SINIAN AT ENGLISH COURT By A.N.P. England, June 17—A number of American Society women and debauchat were presented at the English Court of St. James last week. This is considered one of the highest social honors attainable and Americans have vied with one another for the privilege. Evidently they were astonished to find mingling with the cream of society from all over the world, folk of various hues and colors. One of the Americans with true American impudence violated the traditions of the court by writing a newspaper account of what happened. This young woman hailed from the bourbons aristocracy of Kentucky. In her description of the court dress the men wore she wrote, "Officials and officers wore scarlet coats, heavily embroidered with gold, and black trousers with A NEGRO SPEAKS Farmington, Conn. Valley Herald—Oscar De Priest of Chicago, America's only Negro Congressman, was a guest of honor in Springfield, Monday night and made an address that for epigram, eloquence, satire and plain speaking of many truths has not been surpassed if equalled by any Congressman in many a day. All who heard the vigorous defender of the rights of his race must agree that he is an unusually able gentleman as well as a courageous one. He concluded his address, replete with telling points and humorous comments by reading the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, saying that never had Congress passed enforcement acts for these amendments. "I am going to fight for an enforcement law for these amendments." he said, "because it's more important to spend money to see that the right of all men to vote is not jeopardized than to spend $15,000,000, to jeopardize the right of a man to take a drink. "I've sworn to myself," he said, "that I'd never vote a dollar to enforce the Volunteer Act unless Congress votes to enforce the rest of the Constitution. Gangster Terrorizes Road House Manager Bandit Slashes Girl's Throat LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1930 Eastside Fitts-For-Governor Campaign Representative citizens for the Eastside recognizing the very splendid opportunity to be of service to the people of this section, called a meeting discussed measures and men who are to come before the people at the primaries on August 26, 1930. As a result of free discussion and considering the merits of the three leading candidates for governor, it was the consensus opinion the District Attorney Buron Fitts had come nearer by far in giving recognition to all of the people than either of the others, and as a consequence he was the choice of the gathering. It was decided to go into a permanent organization and work with might and main to back up the candidate endorsed. MRS. C. A. BASS HEADS ORGANIZATION By unamous choice Mrs. C. A. Bass was elected to head the organization. Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards was elected Vice-Pres. Mrs. Beatrice Johnson, secretary. JOHN H. BURKE EUGENE G. JENNINGS Since the announcement of E. C. Jennings to make the race for Superior Court, all classes of our citizenship have rallied to his support and indications at this time point to the triumphant election of this intrepid barrister to a place on the bench of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. For this sentiment there is a reason, for be it known that Mr. Jennings aside from being thoroughly competent and qualified, possesses all of the qualifications which are expected in a judicial office. His entire being is a makeup that makes him an ideal subject for the judiciary. Therefore, he has drawn unto him a magnificent support from the people which his friends from, all sources declare will put him over. Mr. Jennings has had a rich and varied experience in the practice of his profession, he has been successful to the highest degree. Fourteen years of practice in the State of Washington and the long years of practice in this bailwick makes him well equipped to take up the work of judge for the progressive and exacting community. The Jennings for Judge Committee report a generous response from all sections of the county for their candidate and are sure in their prediction of his nomination at the primaries August 26. Oakland, Calif., June 15—A T. Tom Patrick missing since last Thursday was found dead at his apartment, 13th and Center Streets, early Sunday morning. It was said that death was caused from an attack of gas. Patrick was employed by the North Western Pacific for a number of years. The body was turned over to Baker and Taylor Undertakers for burial. a gold stripe on each side. Others of the Royal Guard, wore gold helmets with high crests of white plumes. Still others were in black satin knee breeches with black embroidered socks. "Ambassador Dawes of America and Comrade Solkolnikov of Russia wore plain evening dress. The most gorgeous male present, though was the Abyssinian representative. He strutted in a white and gold embroidered jacket and trousers. His excellence surmounted this with a black cape, worked all over with dazzling gold. The entire procession was proceeded by two Indians in scarlet coats and black gold stiriped tursans." By A. N. P. Chicago, June 18—William Pickett, 33-lears-old, chauffeur for a wealthy family in Winnetka, was found guilty of rape in Judge Walter P. Steffen's criminal court Friday afternoon. The jury fixed his punishment at thirty years in the penitentiary, a sentence more severe than life in Illinois, where after twenty years a parole may be granted on a sentence of life. The case which attracted wide local attention had its inception in the exclusive surburb of Winnetka, near Chicago. Pickett had worked for his wealthy employer for ten years and enjoyed his confidence, as well as that of many residents in the village. A white nurse was employed in the home with whom Pickett admits having become friendly. On an occasion when the employer was gone to New York, she charges the chauffeur raped her after threatening her with a knife. The residents of the surburb were widely divided. Pickett's employer financed his defense. The case is said to have been the chief dinner and bridge table topic in the town. White men and women were violently for or against. Amotion for a new trial will be heard next week. Charge Butler. With Theft of $25,000 in Gems By A.N.P. Philadelphia. Pa., June 17—James Talley, aged 22 years, was arrested in Norfolk and held for the local police on a tip from the southern city, giving information that he was in possession of a large and valuable collections of gems. Talley had been a trusted butler in the employee of William Kamens, wealthy meat merchant, and so great was the faith of the family in Talley that the head of the family refused absolutely to believe that he had anything at all to do with the loss of large quantities of precious jewels belonging to members of the household. However, Norfolk police have almost succeeded in blasting all those hopes for it is reported that Talley was arrested while in the very act of pawning jewelry which was identified as that belonging to the wife of his employer. The total value of the stolen jewelry was placed at $25,000, 11,500 of which has been already paid for by an insurance company.

Applause and Cheer Greet Elks All Along The Line Of March Golden West Lodge No. 86, I. B. O. E. W. celebrated its Annual Pic yesterday (Thursday) in spectacle fashion and created any amount of favorable comment upon its appearance as the Lodge paraded the street prior to taking the cars for the pic grounds at Seelig Zoo. The parade was headed by a pton of police followed by the Exalt Ruler, his Cabinet, the District Deputy Trustees. Then the Golden W Band and Drill Team, followed immediately by the Building Commission and Daughter Elks both marching in carriages. Then came the membership of Golden West Lodge afoot in automobiles. Really the blue serge coats a white flannel pants, each one carrying a varied color parasol of purp and white was a marmignot sight. The Band played martial music all of course it was just as good as was possible for a band to be. The drill team was a center of attrition. It was indeed just about as creatable an affair as ever graced the great thoroughfare of Central Ave. Proceeding to the picnic ground varied program was offered and everybody has a most enjoyable time. The next occasion on which the Elks will turn out will be the ground breaking exercises for the new $100,000 home on Sunday, the 290 inst. The public is also invited to come out on that history making occasion. Friends of Miss Thelma Porter widely known and much traveled song bird of stage and club are congratulating her on her narrow escape from fatal injuries in a collision last Monday at Hollywood Blvd. and Van Ness Avenue. Miss Porter who resides with her parents at 1343 East 23rd Street was driving her car north on the Boulevard on her way to get some new music. Suddenly out of the side street swept a big car driven by a white woman of Hollywood. She hurtled the heavy machine, into Thelma's with a terrific smash, almost demolishing the radiator, left fender and front wheels. Thelma was painfully injured about the body, but only her presence of mind in retaining her hold on the steering wheel saved her car from being overturned or driven into other machines in the heavy traffic at this point. As usual the woman in fault attempted to deny blame for the accident but a white business man and a colored street sweeper offered themselves as witnesses, so she will bear the repair expense of Miss Porter's car and make probable remuneration for her injuries. Meanwhile swathed in bandages but with rare fortitude the little entertainer is rapidly recovering at her home, but missing several important engagements.

Your birthstone is the Pearl, symbolic of Purity. About Lauretta Butler's Kiddies Revue of Revue I bet the next time Lanretta Butler says she is going to put on a show, you will have brains enough to get your ticket early, and when you come, you will come early, because when them kids are advertised to do their stuff, it's Every Tub! Talk about reserved seats, boy! don't make me laugh, it just ain't being done when them kids start taping. I wonder if that young lady who was selling tickets in the box office that night is married. Oh! She must be because she sure knows how to take money, will the lady whose seat I was sitting in, please accept my keen regrets, I had to sit some where because I laid down a hard buck, you see I suffered death getting in and somebody stepped on my corns, but after all it was worth it. I would gladly pay another buck, just to se that hot mama do that fancy dance again, she was dressed in black, and you don't need to run and tell my wife either. I guess Virginia Russell, and Gladys Henderson will join Ziegfields Follies now. VOTE. AGAINST WM. GARNER AT ZQNE GENERAL MEETING. A vote of 12 to 2 against putting Wm. Garner a 20 year service porter for the Pullman Company out of Los Angeles district back to work, was the result of the recent meeting held in San Francisco the case of the porter meeting held in San Francisco; the case of the porter operating on line 28 was a tie vote and referred to the board of Industrial relations in Chicago. The little argument arising among the porters operating on the Sunset Limited was tabled on account of some of the porter scratching their names from the petition at the last minute, apparently not satisfied at the way it was drawn up; by so doing the case will revert back to the local committee again, which will be some time thereof porter on the Sunset will continue to operate as before. Mr. Grant is still doing all he can to make the majority se the plan as he sees it, but apparently is not having any luck some of his victims have sent a mouse and I am afraid the petition will never reach first base. ZONE GENERAL COMMITTEE IN TIE VOTE ON GRANTING SAN DIEGO LINE PORTERS LAY-OVER H. L. Armstrong, porter on the San Diego line for over 13 years, journed up to San Francisco to be present at a Zone conference meeting in the interest of the line he operates on. The porters had been turned down on an appeal for a day layover each round trip by the local committee, and the case was referred to the zone general meeting. I have been informed that the vote cast in the Zone General Committee resulted in a tie vote. This naturally sends the apalep to the Board of Industrial Relations in Chicago for the last decision however this meeting will not be held until about December; so the porters will have to continue doubling on this line as they have been doing for years. SHRINER SPECIAL PORTERS RETURN Well they are beginning to struggle Seventeen Arrested In Oklahoma Mob Slaying By A.N.P. Chickasha, Okla., June 17—The investigation of the lynching of Henry Argo, a half-wit Negro youth, is on and seventeen citizens of this town have been arrested. The arrest of eleven occurred immediately after the inquest was held and seventeen were accused by witnesses, as having been in the mob, which killed the youth, wrecked the jail and burned a truck owned by the national guardmen. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened 847 Central Avenue in Los Angeles one by one. The writer met Otto Johnson last week on a "U" car and he claims that he had a wonderful time. Otto it seems was the only porter out of the gang to bring his party back home, all the rest of the Shriners split up in Toronto and the porters had to get home on extra cars. It probably will be weeks before some of the boys reach home, before some of the boys reach home, for a fact a man can never tell where he will end up, who does know when they are working for the Pullman Company I would not be a bit surprised to get a card from some of the crack porters with the postmark, on it of Sherman, Texas. Otto can consider himself man, Texas. Otto can consider himself TWENTY—SEVEN—M-W. fortunate in being the first porter back in town. SHRINE PORTERS TAKE IN TORONTO IN RUBBER NECK BUS Well the boys just had to see Toronto and all the sights after traveling so darn far under such hot conditions, and when they were released in the Canadian City they all chipped in and brought a ticket on a rubber neck bus. The Canadian citizens thought they were a delegation of preachers, but they did not take up any collection. Following are the names of the sight seer's: N. Young, Otto Johnson, C. W. Crawford, G. W. Henderson and M. Adams. T. TAFT HANDLES SPECIAL PARTY TO CHICAGO Number 13 is a lucky number for porter T. Taft for on that date he reported to the sign out man and was given an assignment to dead head to Fresno on a ten and three, and pick up a wealthy Fresno Merchant and his family. From Fresno the party went to Chicago. Apparently this is a very lucky break for Mr. Taft who recently had to give up the San Diego tourist car line on account of no business. We will try and hire a wagon for the young man to take his money home in when he arrives back in the City. THE PULLMAN HONOR ROLL PORTERS FOR IUNE The porters who follow the Golden rules of Uncle Geo., and perform exceptional service are given the satisfaction of seeing their names published in the Pullman News. Following are the names of the porters who had letters written in to the management regarding the exceptional service they rendered:— H. Crouch, L. T. Henderson, A. Hall, F. Jasper, E. E. Meyers, G. M. Tymony, W. F. Threadgill, E. Wooos and W. Williams. There was one lone Maid of the Los Angeles District who managed to get her name on the honored list, she was Bertha Marshall. R. HICKS FATHER-IN-LAW PASSES AWAY Porter R. Hicks operating on the San Diego line, and one of the star agents for the Golden State Life Insurance Company, buried his Father-in-law last week. The Angelus Funeral Home had charge of the funeral. The Railroad Clatter extends its sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Hicks during their bereavement. **BIDS** E. I. Arnaud has been assigned to operate on line 3452. A. Williams has been assigned to operarte on car 91 line 3460. Line 3451 is or was up for bid as we went to press. MANY PULLMAN TRAINS GO TO DENVER The wealthy bankers of the American Banking Institute and Association poured in Denver from every railroad in the country last week. The bankers came in the latest type Compartment cars. It was not learned whether a delegation from Los Angeles went this year or not. The Bankers are holding Among those in the first group arrested was Jud Brown, named in the coroner's jury verdict as the "one who fired the shot which killed Argo, according to hearsay testimony." This "hearsay testimony" which is looked upon as loop-hole for Brown's acquittal, Brown climbed the vines of the jail, while the mob armed with crowbars and other formidable weapons battled the national guardsmen who were attempting to quell the mob with blank bullets and a few tear gas bombs, and shot the prisoner as he stood helpless in his cell. Other members of the first group included Dr. J. A. Anderson, Harry Miller, A. C. Walker, Austin Vernon, Leonard Davis, James Hedgeneook, Red Hale, and Red McWhorter. Heading the group of six arrested later.was G. W. Skinner, husband of the farm woman whom the half wit youth threatened to kill after an altercation over a dog, Skinner confessed that he stabbed Argo as he lay in his BIDS writ- their convention in Denver. MORE PROSPERITY The Los Angeles Street Railway Co is finding times so hard at the present time that they have laid off a number of conductors on the Adams Street car line; they have taken off 5 runs, and in many places are putting their supervisors back running street cars. Times are sure good. Mr. Hoover signs the tariff bill, helping the poor farmers, and sending the cost of living up to the high water mark. In fact the truth about prosperity is this. The whole prosperity propaganda is a whole lot of bunk, and the only people that are going any business is the L. A. Police Department. If you do not believe me take a run down to the jail and have a look. Boy they sure are prosperous. WHO GETS THE LOST PROPERTY THE PULLMAN PORTERS TURN IN A subject that I have long wanted to talk on is the above caption, who gets the lost property when the looser never calls or claims it. I can safely say that the Pullman Company has in the neighborhood of 200,000 worth of lost property turned into them a year by their honest servants, the pullman porter. A large percentage of these lost articles are claimed, and a great deal of it is never claimed. By law a person who finds anything of value is supposed to advertise the finding of same in the newspapers for a certain length of time, after which if the owner is not found, the find of whatever value, rightfully belongs to the finder. The Pullman Company when they have any slew whatever to work on, make a diligent search for the owner, and are successful in their quest at least 9 times out of 10, but when they have no clew and the passenger never claims it after a certain length of time the porter who turns it in should be entitled to it, but does he get it, no, brother. No, well! then! you may ask, who does get it? And I tell you the Pullman Company. Now fellows the Pullman Company consists of a whole lot of people, and far be it from my poor little humble self to point out the ones who divide the spoils. All I know is that the honest Pullman Porter who turns the things in never gets a look at them any more. Is this a fair proposition? It is enough to make a porter dishonest, instead of honest. He has no encouragement whatever to be honest. No incentive at all. If he finds a thing and the owner never claims it, it should be his. COST OF LUXURIES AND RAILROAD TRANSPORTATIC In an age of increasing comforts of living, the luxuries of yesterday become the necessities of today. The American people are spending more money each year for the things that are really luxuries, that do not contribute in any great degree to the maintenance of life and property. They spend nearly 250 million dollars a year for perfumes and cosmetics, and 625 million for jewelry. They spend near 700 million year for candy. They spend more then a billion a year for movies. They spend almost 90 million for chewing gum. They spend nearly 1 million a year for soft drinks, ice cream, etc. They spend more then 2 billion a year for tobacco. The American people spend more every year for candy than they contribute to religious organizations. On the average for the year of 1928 luxuries cost each person in the United States $50.54. Railroad freight and passenger transportation. One of the most necessary expenses cost the average person $16.57 in 1928 $3.97 less than his luxuries. For that amount of money; the railroads hauled more than 3600 tons of freight 1 mile for each person in the United States and carried him 262 miles. But the Railroad Clatter only Cost a NICKEL. cell dying from the bullet wound inflicted several hours prior. This admission should be sufficient to convict Skinner as death was attributed at the hospital to bullet wound in the head and a knife wound in the chest, the blade of the knife penetrating the lung.

WASCO, CALIFORNIA (MISS RUTH D. CLARK) On Wednesday evening, June 4. 1930 the S. G. G. C. C. Club rendered a short special program at Liberty Hall. The meeting was opened by singing "Bye and Bye." Scripture reading and prayer was led by the Chaplain Rev. R. W. Clark. The President, Mr. B. J. Heslep gave the opening remarks. He then turned the meeting over to the Mistress of Ceremonies, Miss Corine C. Clark. Miss Clark gave her preliminaries and then introduced the first number, an address by Mrs. J. H. Herring, Mrs. Herring's subject was one which is very necessary to the thought, "Bold courage and Self Control." The next number was a vocal solo, "The Holy City" by Miss Ruth D. Clark. Miss C. C. Clark then presented our distinguished guests and principal speaker in person of Mrs. C. A. Bass of Los Angeles, Mrs. Bass' lecture was so vivid until the audience had to concede that she is a race woman. She left with the people of S. Gate Gardens a serious thought and that is the economic condition of the Negro race in California. The reference to Fitts for the next governor of the State of California as made by the speaker was heartily received by the residents of Wasco, the greater number of them signing Fitts' cards and pledging their support to bring about his election. At the conclusion of her address Mrs. Bass presented Mrs. Corinne Smith her co-worker. Mrs. Smith's talk was to interest colored people in taking a colored paper. To avoid excuse she had a real worthwhile colored paper handy one she represents. "The California Eagle." Mrs. Smith was successful in getting subscriptions for this paper. The meeting adjourned by singing "Bless be the Tie", and benediction by the Chaplain. The Truelight Baptist Church had Rev. Bailey of Porterville, Calif., to preach at 11 o'clock. service Sunday, June 15th. Rev. R. W. Clark and part of his congregation was called to Tulare Sunday.

"Furnishings for every room in the house—living room, dining room, bedrooms, kitchen, patio and porch—have undergone drastic price cuts for this event. "No matter what you need, you can save a substantial portion of what you expected to spend.

EASTERN OUTFITTING CO 620 SO. MAIN WAR DEPARTMENT REPLIES TO PICKENS By A. H. D. April 21, 1820 Mr. D. F. F. F. F. Your unsigned letter of April 2nd, addressed to the President relating your observations as to the conditions under which you found the Negro sol- diers at Camp Harry J. Jones and Fort Huachuca, Arizona, has been referred to the War Department for considera- tion. For the past four years, the Department has been concentrating its efforts on securing adequate housing for the whole Army. As quarters and barracks are completed, troops are moved from the temporary to the permanent quarters. This frequently involves a change of station for such troops. It is hoped that in the not far distant future the whole Army will be comfortably housed in permanent quarters. Some stations are less desirable than others, but all must be occupied. Several white organizations are located at stations which are considered more desirable than Camp Harry J. Jones. This station, while not considered a desirable one, has been made as comfortable as possible. Of the four Negro regiments, the 9th Cavalry is stationed at the Cavalry School. Fort Riley, Kansas, the 10th Cavalry at Fort Huachuca, the 24th Infantry at Fort Benning, Georgia, and the 25th Infantry at Fort Huachuca, Camp Harry J. Jones and Nogales, Arizona. It will be observed that three of the four colored regiments and one battalion of the fourth are located at what are considered desirable stations. In assigning an officer to duty with an organization, the Department does not give consideration to the section of the country from which the officer comes, nor does it feel that it can give consideration to that question. All such assignments are based entirely on the availability and suitability of each officer and the necessities of the service. I am sure you have been misinformed as to the Commanding Officer. Fort Huachuca, requiring certain soldiers to agree that their wives become servants in officers' families before such sol- Page-Elever Tells About the and Event of Eastern's Rival Sale 20, and continuing nine business days the month, Eastern's June Month-end Re- gard go down in Los Angeles mercantile his- greatest value-giving furniture events the in the house—living room, dining room. porch—have undergone drastic price cuts you can save a substantial portion of what that isn't all— you to buy now when values are great- regular amounts—without interest."

Those below that who desire to marry must make their own arrangements for quarters. Placing their wives in officers families is perhaps the easiest solution. The department is convinced that white medical officers are thoroughly competent and that they do give to the Negro soldier the same treatment as to the white soldier. Experience of many years proves that fact conclusively. The War Department is aware of the fine records that the tour Negro regiments have made for themselves during this many years of service, and in every way it is the aim of the Department to encourage and develop the splendid spirit which has characterized these organizations for so many years. Soldiers belonging to these regiments, as well as all other soldiers, have access to their officers, and even to the War Department should any of them feel that they have not been or are not being, fairly dealt with by those assigned to command them. They are tenu aware to this fact. The Department is in sympathy with the interest, which your organization has shown in the Negro soldier and reels sure that it will lend its support in maintaining for the Negro soldiers the respected record and enviable reputation they have earned by many years of honorable service.

A At ten thirty the buzz, buzz of the gathering of worshippers precede them up the elevated two-way entrance into the church. They stand in groups on the wide porch-like vestibule, that is of Roman style, without indulgence, in mutual exchange of good fellowship. There is the treckking in, filling of the accustomed seats. Seats of their fathers and fathers' fathers before them sat in, for. Virginia is noted as the home of Old Settlers. Sons and daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren of slaves who have never ventured beyond the gates of the city. They puff in, the aged the young and the strong, led by the spirits of their forefathers. Soon the old church is grinning full toothed, with its offering of humanity. From door to pulpit, side to side, overhead in gallery that circles the building from floor to ceiling they sit whispering in expectancy. In white vestment of their office a dozen deaconess walk briskly in on the weakening strains from the organ. Following, some fifteen deacons, venerable sires, fathers of the church, of solemn mien proclaim the hour of worship to be at hand. Then with a burst of song as a bird full throated, pours out its song of praise on the stillness of the dawn, so the seventy voices of the vested choir muffled by their distance is preceded and heralded For that De PORO TOILET W A few drops of this delic If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened by the sweet voice of its leader one of California's own song birds, Mme M.

They appear on either side of galler yand in choir stand back of pulpit together, all the while singing until the very roof rings with the echoes of their song. It is indeed a beautiful processional, the most elaborate I ever witnessed and I was surprised to see things carried out in such high style-way down in Virginia. Even while the choir is forming their re-entrance into the church the pastor with visiting ministers enters and stands awaiting them. The opening song is joined in by the congregation and then one really understands why Negroes have a reputation as singers. Up out of hearts hundreds by the oppression of the southland the one vent of that class of Negroes is in prayer and song. Do they give vent and how A beautiful service, the singing of the well-trained choir. A sermon one might well be surprised to hear from a southern pulpit. The polish and style one would expect coming from the lips of such a scholarly minister as the Dr J. T. Hill but the attack on the injustices of the southern white man, in the face of some three or four white persons in the audience, almost left me breathless with apprehension, so much had I heard of their spirit of vengeance. Nothing happened however, the sun kept on shining and in the evening when the stars came out those same white folks came back for another dose of the same medicine.

Golden State Publishes New Periodical Some 25,000 persons, more or less directly interested in the Golden State Insurance Company from an insurance standpoint, received a pleasant surprise recently when the Company distributed among them the initial copy of a quarterly publication labeled the "Golden State News." The spicy news sheet, issued in the interest of the policyholders and representatives of the Company, created an unexpected amount of enthusiasm the result of which has been far reaching. The Company has been the recipient of a number of congratulatory letters, and complimentary expressions from all over the west. The news sheet itself comprised four pages of insurance news that the reading public could not acquire otherwise. In addition a news front page that contained all of the last minute Company news, a full page was given to district activities and agents. Space was devoted to a full explanation of 'Policyholders' Month and the Fifth Anniversary Celebration of the Company to be observed July 21 to 26 inclusive. Another page carried several articles on the value of insurance protection and benefits paid, and on the last page was a cut of the Home Office, list of officers and directors, editorials and other news items. Once again Golden State has taken a forward step which has instilled it as never before and stamped it a success in the minds and hearts of the public as never before and stamped it a successful institution that has in five years plonected its way from infancy to one of the most successful organizations of its kind that is doing business in the golden west. Killed on Way to School Philadelphia, Pa. June 17—Struck by a truck as he rode to school, Carl Holmes, a pupil of the Whittier School, Camden, was killed at 8th and Walnut Streets. While riding north on 8th Street, he was hit by the truck driven by William W. Norris, who claims that he does not know how the boy was struck. "I felt the truck strikes something, and when I stopped I found the boy." Norris was held in $1,000 bail. The Musical West Conducted By John A. Gray The Musical West Conducted By John A. Gray Editor's note—Mr. C. D. Cooksey is a, well-known piano tuner of the city and is also a successful piano teacher. His article on the care of the piano is timely and practical. THE PIANO STUDENT VS. THE PRACTICE PIANO The piano is one of the most beautiful musical instruments in the whole existence of musical instruments, and the most absurd of any in present use. We have an influx of the "Radio Wonder" at present but after all has been said and done; Its Majesty" "the Pianoforte" stands supreme as king and fundamental of all musical instruments. The piano is the medium on which the player expresses his or her emotions but besides keeping in the house rightside up and well dusted, it needs a periodic tuning of the string and adjustment of the action or (insides) if the interest of the piano student is to be maintained. Often we see little May or Jimmie tinkling away at the ivories. What are they doing? "practicing their lessons." Has it ever occurred to you how important it is that your piano should be kept up to tip-top shape by a competent piano tuner? The writer's experience has been, when called to service on a piano that not only the strings needed tuning but the action was very much out of adjustment and the felt washers under the piano keys so badly mothenate that it was necessary to call the owner's attention to it and stop tuning the strings in order to replace felts eaten by moths, before the key could strike correctly. These adjustments have a direct moral and mental effect on a piano student. a key will not strike properly if the felt underneath it is gone, or the action is out of adjustment. There are three pedals on the average modern upright and grand piano. In teaching the piano student he should learn the operation of each of the pedals so he can interpret the music as it should when this pedal is pressed down it operates a dowel or stick that throws the whole line of hammers forward so the travel of the hammers are just half of the usual distance making the tone softer. In the grand piano this pedal operates the whole action keys and all are shifted to the right so that the hammers strike two strings instead of three (there being three strings to the unison or key, except in the bass section) making the tone softer, the middle pedal is a sustaining pedal. On some uprights it is a soft pedal. The so-called "Loud pedal" the one to the right, is the damper pedal. The Damper Pedal when used lifts the dampers off the strings allowing the strings to vibrate when they are played upon. Does your child know this? If not, he should if he has studied up to and passed the third grade in music. So it can be seen from the fore going description some of the important elements of piano study and mechanical construction: Necessary upkeep is Paramount. Eyen if no one uses it, keep it in tune and adjustment so that it will retain its musical sweetness and full market value should you desire to place it on the market. Mrs. Robert V. Scott, popular young pianist, was recently chosen after a competitive examination by the L. A. Junior College, as pianist for the dancing classes. Mrs. Scott has been serving as pianist at Fairfax High School and for several dance instructors of the City. This versatile young pianist will be heard in recital in the near future. She is a pupil of John A. Gray and is a worthy exponent of her teacher's method of artistic piano playing. BY A.N.P. Alexandria, La.—Hosey Davis, colored railroad brakeman, is dead as a result of stab wound in the heart, inflicted during a clash between Davis and his wife at their home. The woman claims that the slaying was an accident. She declared that Davies attacked her with a broom, and then pulled a "Texas Jack." She asserted that she seized his whist in an effort to wrest the knife from him and during the scuffle he was stabbed in the heart. The woman was arrested. By A.N.P. Fort Worth, Texas, June 17—Another chapter was written in the famous "frame-up" and killing of two Negroes here several weeks, by John Alsup, former police officer and A. P. Boyt, a barber, in order to receive a reward of $10,000 offered by dead bank bandits, when Alsup was convicted of murder and sentenced to serve twenty years in the state penitentiary. Alsup was charged directly with the murder of Gill Tate and George Terrell, but was convicted of murdering Tate, at this trial, and his accomplice, who has admitted that he assisted the former policeman by driving Tate and Terrel to the scene of the holdup, will face trial later. When the killing of Terrell and Tate occurred, as they were about to hold up the First State Bank, which is located in one of the suburbs, Alsip was hailed a hero, but when he put in his appearance, along with his partner to claim the reward, which has been offered by the Texas State Banking Association, an investigation was started, due to the fact that Negro bank bandits are rather rare in this section. According to the testimony at the trial, the white men attracted by the large reward offered, planned the hold up and the killing. When the plans were completed the selection of the victims was the next move. After reviewing the lists of prospective whites, they hit upon the plan of using Negroes for the job, as the killing of a couple of Negroes would not cause any great excitement. Tate and Terrell, seemed the most likely for the job and they were approached, with the plan with the offer that each one would share equally in the proceeds. Along with the approach there was a threat that if they knew what was the best for them they had better join in, and they did. On the day set for the holdup, the victims were filled with liquor, armed and driven to the bank by Boyt. As the car approached Alsup made his way into the bank and stationed himself a few feet from the cashier's window. When Tate stuck the muzzle of his gun through the cage, Alsup fired, killing him instantly and killed Terrell as he was about to make his escape. Another factor, which entered into the testimony of the state was that when Terrell's body was searched no weapon was found and that Alsup could not explain just why he happened to be in the bank at the time of the holdup. Whether or not he will be tried for Terrell's murder was not stated. number of Hickmans ilk who have journeyed to foreign climes to try to stop the favorable impressions that the American Negro has made abroad. He will have aid; He will need it! His word will be refuted by such representatives of Negro progress and intelligence, as Paul 'Robeson; Ivan Browning: John Payne. American Negroes all. The age of electricity: It is here, an din strong competition, historically, with every past Age. Its subtle wonders fit into the life of this age as no other thing does. It is the basis of most comforts, many luxuries, and a potent factor in the industrial life of nations. At present there is convening in San Francisco, leaders in the research of the possibilities of the "subtle fluid." Many of its uses for domestic and industrial helpfulness is demonstrated. Electrical engineering seems to have reached the apex, but in conversation with one of the leading demonstrators of the conference, "The beginning is not yet," he said. The Civic Center of San Francisco is gigantic fairyland. We say gigantic because Fairies are supposed to be small; the magnificent buildings of the Center are magestic in their outline enhanced by vari colored lights which beautify them. There was something in connection with the opening dedication of the lights which puzzled us laymen, and, tho, electrical engineers could figure results; they can not figure origin. There was price of electrical apparatus whose mechanism was so finely adjusted that a spark of electricity created by the propellor of an airplane overhead connected and form it an instant flash switched on the lights that bathed the Center in a flood of beautiful light. We hoped that some day the youngster at our side, who marvelled in silent wonder, would contribute to the development of electrical science. We've got doctors, lawyers, and such, a plenty. How many remember the late Elbert Huybbard and his wise and terse sayings? He was lost in the wreck of the Titanic. The Roycrofters have not: They will unveil a memorial statue at East Aurora. We think it was Henry Ward Beecher who said, "Wherever you find patience, fidelity, honor, kindness and truth, there will you find respectability, however obscure and lowly men may be." Hope that the writer of an anonymous letter will see that quotation. We still record our utter disdain for any person, or persons, who seek to make FRATERNALISM their source of livlihood. When they say that they hold on to, lucrative, positions as a sacrificing abnegation of self, for the good of humanity: We say, "Hooey." ROUGH NECKS In the time of a crisis; such as a race riot, when the lives of Negro citizens are jeopardized by the bullets and blades of assailants, who is it that invariably comes to the front and wins the day, for the sons and daughters of Ham? Is it the ministers of the gospel? The missionary societies? or the Y.M.C.A.? Is it the Four Hundred? The exhaled and most holy women's clubs; or paraders who ostentatiously poses in fraternal emblems and regalia? Is it the intellectuals or spineless college students? WHO IS IT? Well, if my wits be with me it is usually none of these superior race lovers and leaders who stand their grounds! They fearfully sneak off to hiding places while the RIFF-RAFF of the race save the day. Had it not been for prostitutes, gamblers; and pool shooters the Negroes would have been well nigh extirpated in many of the cities of the United States of more than one instance. In the last Atlanta race riot who was it that dared die like fearless, honorable men. You can bet your sweet life that it wasn't the property-grasping, race-selling high brow Negroes. Who protected the race's respect in the Chicago uprising? In the Washington strife in 1919? They tell me that about 1920 rumors were spread to the effect that the K. K. K.'s were going to shoot up the Negroes. And what did the self-styled superior Colored brothers and sisters do? Well, an eye witness informed me that he saw them leaving town around 3 o'clock A. M. by the hundreds. But the scums of the earth, the so-called black trash element were parading the Avenue—ready to die in the shoes defending the race to which they belonged. Negroes impress me generally as being closely kin to the cowardly rabbits. (Unless they chose to battle each other which they can do to perfection.) And the more money and education they get the tainter their hearts grow and the more limp the back bone. Here's to you rost-a-bouts, bootleggers, and daughters of shame. While I do not glorify your career I do how my head to your fearless courage and race loyalty always present in time of need. The Milk'n-water, shamefaced intellectuals and goody goodies can learn darn much from you. May they stoop to conquer. THE BUSINESS TREND Tuskegee Institute, Ala. June 17—"Bigger and Better Negro Business" will be the general subject for discussion at the next annual convention of the National Business League which will be held in Detroit, Michigan, Aug. 20, 21, and 22. "It is felt," said Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the League. "That this would be a most appropriate subject for discussion at this particular time when the Negro is awakening to his economic opportunities." Albon L. Hoseley, secretary of the League, has just returned from Detroit where he conferred with Fred Hart Williams, president of the Metropolitan Business Men's Club, and Dr. William H. Peck, founder of the Negro Trade Association of Detroit. Both of these organizations are co-operating in arranging for the League's entertainment. One day's session will be devoted to a discussion of the retail grocery business as a stimulus to the C. M. A. Stores' movement which is being promoted by the League. In this connection, the League, with the assistance of The Progressive Grocer, will set up a Model Grocery Store in Detroit. Both white and colored experts will discuss the grocery, dry goods, ready to wear, and shoe businesses as opportunities for Negroes to enter the retail field. WHERE? Dear since you came into my life My life ups and downs to share, It seems I'm asking evermore. Where have I met you. Where, Where Where? Where have I known your smile before Which always make my sun to shine. Which banishes my frightened gloom And knits my very soul to thine? Could it be in some other world. We two were lovers, You and I, And God in his fair mindness, Saw fit to weave again the tie. —IVA Q.

TO THE GIRL OF 14- CONGRESSING URDU BODY If a friend should hand you a closed box saying "Keep it carefully now for it is precious", and yet should make no further comment, no clearer explanations. I wonder if you would feel the deep interest in preserving your gift, that you should have, had she told you more clearly why it was valuable. That little 14-year-old is a great deal the way with our bodies. Your body is the masterpiece of God's creation—the most marvelous thing that He ever placed in the old world, and yet because we know so little about it we often treat carelessly this wonderful gift. When however we seriously consider just how we are made, if what we are made and how impossible it is to replace even one joint of our smallest finger if we should lose it, then we begin to have a growing respect for these bodies of ours and we want to learn more of them, that we may give to them better care. CULTIVATED DEFORMITIES Looking at our bodies as works of art as they really are, even the bony frame-work takes on a new beauty. The body, like the house in which we live, requires a frame-work to give it firmness and symmetry. This frame-work must not only be firm but also flexible in order to enable us to move and bend and use our bodies. For this reason a most remarkable frame-work has been made. Instead of casting our skeletons in one large bone with no possibility of flexibility or adoptable motion God gave us the most elastic foundation imaginable, made of 206 separate bones, which are all joined together by bands or ligaments forming joints. When you were a baby girl these bones were soft and flexible but as you grew older now that you have arrived at young womanhood they are quite hard, and yet they can still be moulded or deformed. Habits of improper dress and living cause deformities of the body skeleton, and I want you to know all about these in order that you may avoid as many as possible and have as perfect a figure as you can. from Page Eight) he journeyed to foreign climes to try that the American Negro has made need it!

P. in his travels has located the burial grounds of the 24th and 25th infantry and the 10th cavalry. Writing in the New York Amsterdam last week he makes a plea directly to President Hover to resurrect these boys whom the government buried alive several years ago in Arizona. They have been stationed in one place so long, contrary to government regulations that in their out of the way location the world has almost lost track of them. Their deeds have almost faded from history and they are deposited in this isolated spot in the national belief and hope that the world will learn of the type of rewards and honors they are receiving for bravery on the battle front. If Hoover would read more Pickens and less Shakespeare he'd be a practical president instead of an acting one. No doubt many of you have heard of Dr. Eliza Gibson. For the benefit of those who haven't we wish to acquaint you with a noble character of the opposite group that is wrapped up in the interest of our group perhaps more so than any other of her race in Los Angeles and many of our group. Dr. Gibson sometime ago demonstrated her sincere loyalty by taking out a $500.00 life membership in the N. A. A. C.P. Some weak-minded members of the race are always challenging and knacking the sincere efforts of white people to help us. Remember until we learn to appreciate the worth and value of such characters as Dr. Gibson we're not going to make much progress toward solving race problems. Politically speaking, most of us are making verbal noises and plenty of it. We met a business Negro the other day in our travel, who to our great surprise made a financial noise, and my how it traveled. When he walked up to the table and layed down a ten spot on a Jennings and Pitts combination, really you could of heard a pin drop and to tell the truth, I forgot my surroundings to the extent I thought I was in church and the stewards and deacons were taking collection. Cute an unusual thing to see us doing anything for the political and business salvation of the Negro, but for the religious salvation we'd take the coats off our backs. Now we're not knocking the church but if we in our prosperous state can raise several hundred thousand dollars for religion what could we do for religion if we had one or two million invested in business and politics? If Hoover keeps up the pace he's going someone is going to get a recall petition on the young man. His stand on the tariff, the League Pact and the War Veterans' Pension are sure getting him in deep water and out of reach of political life preservers. It's begun to look like the Democratic Department of the U. S. put one fast one over on the Republican Department when it elected a wolf in sheep's clothing to sit in the high office. where Young Jack Thompstown, Jack who now wears of welterweight champion is a deserving chap, and reminds us very much of Old Master, Joe Gans.

Friendship Baptist church on the evening of June 20th. 1930. The program will be a varied From The Research Department Of The Local Pharmacists Frank Eagleson of Eagleson Pharmacy and Ernest A. Mitchell of Mitchell, have combined their scientific knowledge and training, and are going in for research work of drugs and food; to study the vitamins. They will experiment with mice on a 90 day basal diet and change to various animals as they are making progress. Vitamins are substances or something that builds up the body when we are growing. Acid reproduction destroys pyrohea because pyrohea is caused, when the body lacks vitamine. It is not clearly understood, but we do know that certain foods and drugs build up the body and without these foods we do not develop in mind (brain) and body as we should. Cod Liver Oil contains vitamin A B and there are other foods that contain vitamin, like yolk of eggs, lettuce, Spinach and common greens, and tissue from certain meat foods, cabbage, tomatoes and orange juice are rich in vitamin C. A—Fourth stimulates the growth of yeast, called D. E—has been found in wheat and cereals, grain (rice, etc). Which is essential to the reproduction of individuals and has been called Fertility Vitamin. There is no chemical test so far known for Vitamin detection nor have they been isolated. A leading Dentist in the community is in on the experiment. Dentists can tell by looking at your gums what kind of food you have been eating. Leading Physicians are prescribing Cod Liver Oil, mor than ever, for people who are weak and run down and who have decaying teeth. It is the business of the Pharmacist to learn all he can about the body from a chemical standpoint about the action of drugs from a physical point for standardization. The reaction of drugs and how it works and to control them and prevent them from letting the body become deranged and how to restore them to their original course. But the Pharmacist does not put his knowledge to work that way. Being a medium between patients and physicians he tells the physician and when the physician finds such a disease he prescribes Medicine and the Pharmacist compounds or fills the prescription for the patients. This is what we consider scientific cooperation and is more effective and humane than the old gun shot method of ancient healers and get rich quick quacks.

He wanted to make a couple of teams in a baseball contest think he was with them to the extent that he'd place his money on them, so he bet one bird, a prominent member of the Dependent Urh, that the Reds would beat the Angels.

KEEP OUT OF COURT THE RELIGIOUS WAR that has been waging at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church of Central Gardens is writing a page in Baptist history in this community that we no doubt will be ashamed to read later on. While trying to pacify things in this political realm, we can but stop long enough to cast a tender glance on Mt. Olive and utter a prayer that the brethren of the faith will call in the contending forces into a peace conference and through this medium demonstrate that the church came not to dispense disorder but to bring peace to mankind. * COLORED LOS ANGELES * IN NEED OF HOSPITAL In this city a certain gang of malcontents are ever ready to lift their drowsy heads and cry out, "Oh that's segregation and we won't have it, that's all," whenever the erection of a hospital or any like institution is suggested. However friends, Dr. S. W. Smith, physician and surgeon of Chicago, representing the Medical Association is a very welcome visitor to our city at this time and he has looked Los Angeles over and cited that one of our greatest needs is a hospital owned, controlled and handled by Negroes; and it is hoped by us that not only the Negro physicians of Los Angeles but the people at large will fall in line and that before many more months shall have rolled over our heads, this vital need will be supplied. Now a hospital manned by Negro physicians does not stand for segregation—not at all. Why should we as a group lag behind other groups in this community? It is said that the Jews have just completed in this city one of the most up-to-date and most modernly equipped hospitals to be found anywhere in the country; the Mexicans have theirs; the Japanese, theirs, then why shouldn't we have ours? And this does not mean that the General Hospital maintained by the taxpayers of this county is not the institution for all the people, all the time. Men's Day At Hamilton M. E.

GOVERNOR AT METROPOL- ITAN BAPTIST CHURCH IT IS REPORTED that Governor C. C. Young graced the pulpit of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Sunday afternoon and was greeted by about an hundred and fifty Airaamericans, whom he told, "if just only you will put me back I will cease to keep you out." Methinks the wise ones are going to take this promise with a grain of salt. * MCFARLAND'S ATTITUDE * TOWARD NEGRO PAT- RONS AIRED BEFORE * INDUSTRIAL COUNCIL GEORGE A. BEAVERS, JR., vice president of the Golden State Insurance Company, who was principal speaker for the Industrial Council, Sunday afternoon, at the Peoples Independent Church, delivered a spirited address giving statistics as to the Negro's economic status in this city, but Mr. Beavers reached the crux of his argument only when he stated that a body of club women called upon McFarland. Central avenue merchant of low priced grocery fame, and suggested to him that since most of his patrons were colored he should in turn give employment to some colored people in his stores, to which the Mr. McFarland retorted: "I have the colored trade anyway, and I am sure I can keep it without having to resort to your idea of giving colored people employment." And to the casual observer it seems that McFarland knew whereof he spoke for one needs only to stroll along the avenue of a Saturday evening and look in at the McFarland markets and it can be easily determined that ninety-five per cent of the patrons swarming—like bees around honey—about the McFarland counters are Colored. The Industrial Council has decided upon a program such as that put over by the Chicago Whip a few months ago by which thousands of colored people, who had hitherto spent their money with firms of all kinds in the community in which they resided without any consideration for the same. The Whip launched a campaign of—"No Consideration, No Buy." It notified these merchants that had grown fat and prosperous on Negro patronage that they had organized their forces against that sort of thing. At first the merchants thought that it was a joke but soon they realized that the Whip was whipping things in line; and when they found that the thousands, even millions of dollars that had come into their customers monthly from black hands was missing, they put up the white flag of truce and notified the Whip that they were ready to come to terms. Trence, at this time, something like 15,000 Negroes are employed by these firms which were content to receive all without giving anything in return. Los Angeles, which is the most rapidly growing city in the United States today, with an ever increasing Negro population is asleep at the switch as far as business enterprise is concerned. Central avenue, the main thoroughfare for people of color, does not boast of a single dry goods store sufficient to supply the needs of oneenth the surrounding population, and not a co-operative grocery concern receiving the support through Negro patronage that enables it to be a real competitor to the average grocery or market on the Avenue. Most of the commodities such as dry goods, groceries, meats, fruits, vegetables, bread, A PENNY PER PERSON PER MEAL AT MUNICIPAL RATES NOW EVERYONE CAN HAVE A FastCooking ELECTRIC Be the first in your neighborhood to own a fast-cooking electric range at these unusual terms JOIN the million American women who have thrown off the shackles of useless kitchen work.

There are those who whom we are sent to collect who cry like a newborn babe because we did not call on the day the subscription came due as it was their desire to pay in advance and they couldn't understand why we allow it to run until they were a year behind; then there are those who howl like a young police puppy just because we did call to collect, saying that they preferred to pay at the office or would rather send it in or a hundred and one rathers, anything except PAY. Some want to pay in advance and are nice about it and some there are who wouldn't pay in advance, (even the it is the law to collect subscriptions for weekly newspapers in advance) to save you from dying, and so it is that when the end of the week is reached, we are at our wits' end and nerve racked trying to keep sweet and please them all. Really folks, you can call help the situation by simply being reasonable. It is just a matter of method that this publication is using an sending out a collector and it no new method. This is an age of co-operation so please shake off the old garment of fault-finding and together let's work in harmony, and help us to help you. I thank you. E. G. S.

Would advise that he should get busy for he has two very strong opponents. Ida May Adams seems to be a very popular candidate. She has made a commendable record during her practice in the state. She stands for right of free speech and is a candidate of all the people and not for any particular interest. Judge Ambrose is a very popu- lar jurist and is considered one of the ablest judge now serving on the Municipal bench. Attorney Hugh S. Dickerson is in the race. He is a very able lawyer, and is very popular. 1970 Mr. John S. Bisher is also Corinne Smith running against Judge Kectch but as yet seems to be unknown as far as the campaign is concerned. Office No.2 Judge Carlos Hardy the incombent has served on the bench of the superior Court for a number of years and does not see mto be very active in the campaign up to date. We hope our friend Judge Hardy will not sleep on the job and will awake to the realization that he has some very able popular attorneys opposing him. The opponents are Thomas, R. Mould Raymond Tourney. Thomas Mould is a very able attorney and seems to be very popular in his popularity having been gained by his activities in church and brotherhood work in Los Angeles for a number of years. He is considered one of the best jury lawyers in the state. Mr. Turney known as a judge in the Municipal court, where he has made a record. UDA FAULCONER FOR SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE OFFICE No. ELEVEN Despite the fact that they do not ordinarily endorse candidates for political offices, the Lincoln All American League of which Mrs. W. D. Hollius is President and Mrs. N. C. Reed, Secretary has unanimously endorsed the candidacy of Oda Faulconer for election to Office No. 11 Superior Court. Other Eastside organizations which have endorsed Mrs. Faulconer's candidacy during the past week are the Eastside Co-operative Improvement Association and the Wilshire Twentieth Century Study Club. Mrs. Clara C. Hulbert is chairman of the Faulconer for Superior Court Judge on the Eastside. She is assisted by Mrs. Nettie C. Reed, Mrs. A. Jeffries, Mrs. Willie Mae Beaver, Nettie A. Reese, A. Olivia Wilson, Mrs. Paul Brown, Mrs. Cora Westbrook, Lucille Boffard, *Cathryn D. Robinson*, Mrs. M. F. McNuckens, Mrs. Etta V. Moxley and Mrs. Inez Bennett. Senator Chas. W. Lyon Seeks Re-election Each city and community in Los Angeles County has responded to Senator Charles W. Lyon's announcement of his candidacy for re-election by the organization of committees of representative citizens who are undertaking the active conduct of his campaign, according to a statement issued by his executive committee yesterday. Although he was born in Los Angeles and is well known as one of the leading members of the legal profession and a member of the legislature for sixteen years, his friends are determined that his exceptionally progressive and constructive public record he impressed upon the minds of the voters so that he may have an overwhelming victory in the August primary. Los Angeles County will elect only one Senator this term and those in charge of Lyon's campaign are anxious to have him returned to Sacramento by a decisive majority. The Los Angeles sponsors of his candidacy, among them some of the most important business and professional men and women of the city, number nearly three hundred. There are not less than twenty-five members on his committee in even the smaller communities. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened We admit it is a difficult thing to do, but we had just as well get around to it and cease falling out with one another about, the political welfare of some individual. What we all should be concerned about is the measures and men who will best serve all the people all the time. --- Just think a moment just what the situation would be if the scales were turned around and the black people of America were 15 to 1 instead of the reverse. We opine the blacks would outdo the haters, Cole Blease, Tom Heflin, et al would be backed off the boards. Right here in our midst we have supposedly and admittedly intelligent leaders, harping on whether or not it is according to "Hoyle" for a white woman to get in the picture and help a struggling race to get on its way by procuring them places in the affairs of government. As a matter of fact the contention makes us look silly, especially so, in view of the fact that the self same leaders applaud the help if it is to their own personal gain. "Oh! Consistency thou art a jewel!" Mrs. Annie E. Walker, well-known civic worker, grand head of the Order of Calanthe, who has been favorably mentioned as a candidate for the Assembly from the 62nd Assembly District, writes this office she has decided not to enter the race and wishes us to thank the friends for their kindly interest. Mrs. Walker will soon leave to attend the Grand Session of her order which convenes in Oakland next month. Governor Young was a speaker on last Sunday afternoon on the program for Men's Day at the Metropolitan Baptist church, 37th and Paola, of which Rev. Plus is the pastor. Attorney Alston was master of ceremonies while Dr. H. Claude Hudson introduced the Governor. Mrs. B. E. Prentice, well-known business woman, church, fraternal and civic worker, has tessed her hat into the ring and becomes a full-fledged candidate for the Assembly from the 62nd Assembly District. This makes three entries to date from this District: Charles Oliver, Hon. F. M. Roberts and Mrs. B. E. Prentice. The Eastside Fitts for Governor club is off to a flying start and from a once over of its composition, we are satisfied the campaign for Mr. Fitts will be waged to the heights of success. Political workers who hold back upon their expressions of who they are for until a price is set for service, loses value right off the reel and is poorer indeed in the summing up. They say the welkin will ring at the Lafayette school auditorium at tonight's big Pitts for Governor Mass Meeting under the auspices of the Eastside Pitts for Governor club. * * * * Look out for the mushroom newspapers, fakirs, and those who claim the big subscription lists; especially those who know all about the other fellow's business and sky rockets his own. Follow that bird up and you will have the real bunko man for true. * * * Judge Carlos Hardy is running true to form and when he received a 600 odd votes from the nefarious bar association may rest assured he is on his way to victory. Query: Where is the Eastside Independent League and Wood Wilson? The Clearing House at 28th and Central has several vexing questions before the body at this time as Prof. Green is preparing charges against the president thereof. With an attendance of from 55 to 100 persons at an ordinary committee meeting of the Fitts for Governor club it looks prosperous indeed for enthusiasm.

The above-entitled Petitioner, WILLIAM ARCHIE LUTHER MARTIN, having filed a petition in this Court praying that his name be changed to WILLIAM LUTHER MARTIN. It is ordered, that all persons interested in said matter appear before this Court in Department 7 thereof, on the 25th day of July, 1930, at two o'clock P.

BEEKS, Attorney, 851% So. Central Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. HIS RECORD AS RELATES TO OUR GROUP BY ONE WHO KNOWS FACTS San Francisco, Calif., June 13, 1930 Rev. J. H. Wilson, 5213 Holmes Avenue. Los Angeles, California. My dear Brother: I have just seen a statement that twelve Negroes were dismissed from city positions by Mayor James Rolph within sixty days after he took office eighteen years ago. I have been in the city employ as messenger-clerk for twenty-nine years and eleven months. No such number of our people worked for the city at that time. Those employed, besides myself, when Mayor Rolph took office eighteen years ago, were: Lewis Robinson, janitor, who retired in April, 1922, after 20 years' service, and William Anderson, deputy assessor, retired September, 1927, after 27 years' service. Both retired under a retirement law passed by Mayor Rolph and received benefits until their recent deaths. One man, I remember, lost his job before Mayor Rolph took office, one Taylor, who held a joke job at $3.00 per day, and was supposed to care for public fountains and fountains generally. The last record of his service is October 22, 1911, when his place was declared a civil service watchman's job. Rolph took office three months later. Edward Dennis was given a good job as a special officer at the Park Museum by Mayor Rolph and held same until his recent death. His aged widow was given a position at our Art Gallery. She died on the job. Mr. Dennis' sister had a position in a city park and has just applied for a pension, after years of employment under Mayor Rolph. Practically the entire city employment is under civil service. Very few of our race ever take examinations. Working now for the city are Joseph Hepburn and John Bost at $7.50 per day and W. C. Coleman at nine dollars a day, all respected employees, and Leonard Harris, messenger and usher in Mayor Rolph's own office, non-civil service appointee. The Mayor appointed George Cuthbert, an Episcopalian, as his first usher-clerk. He died. A second appointee, Moses Collins, also died. Harris has had the position for years. We have been well treated and only paid politicians, or persons with personal axes to grind, could question Mayor Rolph's long, tried and true friendship for our people, shown in innumerable ways, both to us as a group in a city where we are treated with absolute political equality, and as individuals helped in innumerable and useful ways. Our group has had official and friendly recognition at all times. Mayor Rolph has set the pace in San Francisco in right and just treatment. Any statement to the contrary at this time is purely political propaganda circulated by that ilk by which we are so often misrepresented and held up to ridicule, the professional politician, who sells his services to the highest bidder, and is regarded with contempt by colored and white people alike. You may remember me. I am a trustee of the Third Baptist church, am Past Noble Father of California Odd Fellows, a Past Master of Hannibal Lodge, F. & A. M., and Past Grand Patron of the Eastern Star. I have been in public service within a few days of 30 years and enjoy the cordial friendship, of which I am proud, of the Mayor, his staff, and city officials, and employees generally of the city. My salary has been raised and conditions under which all colored employees of the city work are ideal. Sincerely and fraternally, B. L. TYRREL, 558 Chenery Street. San Francisco, Calif. EDITOR'S NOTE: We are running the above letter from B. L. Tyrrel whom we have known for many years, and for whom we have the highest regard. We certainly have no desire to make my misstatement about any candidate and will give to any one of them the opportunity to refute any statement which appears in these columns if they so desire. In the meantime we are calling on our old-girls. Enthusiastic Meeting Industrial Council Enthusiastic Meeting Industrial Council (EEDA GREENE SMITH) The third meeting of the Industrial Council was held Sunday at the People's Independent Church of which Rev. N. P. Greggs is pastor, and was nicely attended despite the many other attentions that claimed the public's attention on the same afternoon. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass, who introduced the mistress of ceremonies, Mrs. Elizabeth Martinez. In well chosen words, Mrs.Martinez presented the speaker, Mr. George A. Beavers, Jr., who delivered a very splendid and interesting address, which was full of information and helpful suggestions. He reminded his audience that some of the biggest movements were started by small groups and, said he, "despite the few in number we can accomplish something great. A little match can start a fire and burn an entire city and I hope, something may be said this afternoon which will be a match to start a fire that will burn away the leftover of our group as regards cooperation." He complimented the organization on its wise choice of a president and paid a high tribute to the sterling character, executive ability and wide vision of Mrs. Bass. Mr. Beavers who is vice-president of the great Golden State Insurance Company, was in every way fitted to bring to his hearers facts and figures regarding the economic condition of the Negro in Los Angeles and reasons for the unemployment situation of which we find ourselves a part. He very clearly explained the reason for the success and failure of business enterprises and appealed to parents to encourage their children to prepare themselves to be able to render the very highest and most efficient service, to study business methods and training along the lines of salesmanship. This address was followed by a blackboard demonstration by Mr. Mentis Carere, who has made a study of the subject of economics, and from his storehouse of knowledge his hearers are always benefited. He reached the elimax of his argument by saying that when we create our own jobs, those jobs are permanent because we have made them, our problem is one of curing the cause rather than the effect—that segregation and discrimination are ills, the result of one great problem, that of our economic weakness. Mrs. P. E. Gallerson, president of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Pyramid Grocery Company, made a plea for a greater consideration of the welfare of our youth. The meeting was then turned over to the president who emphasized the aims and objects of the Industrial Council and asked that it be given the support of the thinking people of Los Angeles. She asked for the names of twelve boys to form a squadron for the purpose of awakening their parents first and other heads of families to the seriousness of patronizing our own businesses and spending only where we are allowed a chance to earn thereby building better the future for the next generation. This appeal received enthusiastic response. The next meeting of the Council will be held July 13th at the St. Paul Baptist Church. A NEW STORE Mr. George L.

All Hats are factory finished—All work guaranteed. 3512 So. Central Ave. HU. 6839 There are eleven judges to be elected to the Superior Court in the coming August primaries. One of the candidate in the field happens to be one of our group, Atty. E. C. Jennings. It is the consensus of opinion that no worrier representative of our group could have been selected, to make the race. This view is shared in by both layman and bar. A man of unquestioned character, (and we pause for one indictment of unethical practice on his part) a man of recognized ability, who is held in the highest esteem by the judges of the various courts as well as by his fellow practitioners at the bar. "Can he be elected?" Invariably, that is the first question to be heard. Yes, he can be elected. You are going to help your friends of the other groups elect ten, and in return they are going to help you put Jennings across. And you have, an even better chance to put your man over in the primaries because there is but out to concentrate on. It has been done in other cities, and Los Angeles can do it too, and what is more, it is going to do it. The people here are as wide awake as they are in Chicago and other cities, and they are going to demonstrate that fact. It is seldom that a man has been put forward for public office whose fitness stands out so pre-cinnently as does Mr. Jennings. His record is like an open book, and we have not been able to lind one blit on its pages during his more than ten years' residence in Los Angeles. We wonder have you thought of that. Nor has he confined his activities to his profession. But he has identified himself with every movement that makes for the betterment of his people and the community at large. He is identified in both civic and religious work. But he has been a success at the bar, which certainly counts heavily in his favor. He did not wait until he, sought public office to mingle with and serve his people, but he has been continually on the firing line of his people, often serving without compensation when the interest of the face were at stake. If character, ability and dignity constitute fitness for a judgement, then there is no question but that Atty. Jennings stands par-exception for the exalted place. LET'S PUT HIM ON THE BENCH By WILLIAM PICKENS If a bar becomes a senator of the United States, he has one very great advantage for a bar: He can tell all the lies he pleases on the floor of the senate, and nobody can either sue him for slander, or even answer him in the senate, unless another senator answers him there. Recently, Simeon D. Fess, United States Senator from Ohio, purveyed the following, among other lies, to the senate of the United States, and had it printed in "The Congressional Record," the only place where such falshoods could be printed without legal redress: "William Pickens, field secretary and member of the executive committee, who, like DuBois, has visited communist Russia, is a communist and defender of communism as well as an ardent advocate of 'social equality.' (See Exhibit 2, attachc.)" But Exhibit 2 is not attached, not to the copies of the "Recap" that were mailed out all over the United States, because "Exhibit 2", whatever it was, would have proven that what Fess was reading from a letter written by some woman from somewhere, but that does not excuse him. He could easily have found out the truth or falsity of that statement for himself, by simple inquiry. I have always heard that the most scientific har is an unconsciousious "statistician". Well, undoubtedly the most contemptible part of the business is to wilfully survey the lies carelessly written by others. If Senator Fess can produce "Exhibit 2", or Exhibits 3. 4, or 5, showing that I am a member of the communist party, I will apologize and give him a new ten-cent piece. That does not mean that I consider it either a crime or a misdemeanor for any man woman to belong to the communist party. I consider it a much worse crime to purvey falschools in the Congress of the United States. However, when one is pretending to state facts, he ought to state facts, even in the senate. And a sto "social equality," poor Senator Fess does not know, that there is no such thing, in the sense in which he means it. There is no "social equality" between groups of any kind. There is only "social equality" between friends, in spite of Fess and all his lik. One cannot have any other brand of intercourse with his real friends except an intercourse of equality of every kind. That's one reason why Fess is not no, and never will be a friend of L. G. Robinson Has Exceptional Career L. G. Robinson Has Exceptional Career CAREER SHOWS PROGRESS AND ABILITY By CHAS L UPTON While reading of the remarkable increase in population of Los Angeles during the recent taking of the census, My mind drifted toward the progress of her citizens, especially those of my own race, and upon inquiring around in search of data to verify what I expect to tell my readers. I very soon discovered, that instead of one article relating the progress of our Colored citizens; It must be a series of articles. L. G. ROBINSON Space will not permit th writer to tell of all our exceptional progressive citizens in one issue of this wide awake paper, and after much deep thought and consideration, the writer has decided to acquaint his readers with the record and activities of one of our most outstanding progressive citizens. A champion of his race in his own quiet modest way. A gentleman who is reasonable for the morale and efficiency of 187 men 6 days in the week year in and year out, namely Mr. L. G. Robinson, Chief Custodian of Janitors in the Hall of Records, and Justice. During the rapid whirl of a busy city, the unselfish and progressive career of Mr. Robinson has not received the mention it deserves. Mr. Robinson followed the notice of Mr. Morace Greely for he came west 27 years ago. Having attended Payne College in Agusta, Ga., and Knoxville College, Tenn. he arrived in Los Angeles with a fairly good learning for those days; he grew up with the city and was been enough to take advantage of the opportunities that were presented. Shortly after his arrival in this city; he was engaged in Janitor work for the County. The supervisors at that time noting his exceptional ability placed him in charge of the janitors force which consisted of about 10 men. However, the steady increase in population soon called for an increase in the janitor department which by this time had become one of the most important branches in the county service. An office was established in the Hall of Records Building and the title of Chief Custodian of Janitor's was given to Mr. Robinson. The day he took charge of the soffice, the clerical work became of such magnitude, that a stenographer had to be added to the office force, this position is proudly filled by a charming young efficient race lady. Mrs. Maggie Stovall. minic, because I am not willing to have him with his ideas as my social capital. I balk seriously at ever being counted in a class with his kind of man, whether such men be white black or red. Every man of any brains would refuse to "advocate" ardently or otherwise a "policy" of social equality, for social intercourse is not a policy, and is not a matter for legislation or for public policy; it is but the natural relationship of people who accept each other's friendship. Just think of being a United States Senator, and not knowing even that! 1920 Page-Seven employees was evidenced by the writer on a recent visit to his office. I found him in the midst of a busy day, seated behind a large roll top desk dictating numerous letters to his private stenographer, and conversing over the phone to the various departments about 25 different times during the short time I was there endeavoring to get an interview. I gave a hurried glance at the different pictures that adorned the walls of his office, the general run of which gave be a clear insight to this man's character, there were pictures of such sterling characters as Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, W. E. DuBois, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Abe. Lincoln, Harriet Beecher Stowe and numerous others which served to impress upon my mind. That inspite of the many handicaps my race has had to labor under, here was a man that had cast them aside as minor occurrences of the everyday life, and was making every effort to see that the 187 men under his direct supervision were surrounded by a clean and whole some environment, and also that they might be encouraged as they cast their eyes upon those splendid examples of man-hood, and woman-hood who had made life a success, and inscribed their names on the roll of the nations honor. That Mr. Robinson has not been contented to rest alone on his laurels of Chief Custodian, is evidenced by the fact that he is constantly going good for other's less keeping the largest force of race men and women employed for the courty. This he has done for over 20 years and with credit to himself and race; his position is one of unusual responsibility, and many times he has put in as high as 12 or 13 hours a day in order to see that the work was carried along efficiently besides supervising this work for the county. Mr. Robinson's progressive spirit finds time to allow him to be the Assistant Pastor of Scotts Chapel, Pasadena; President of the Angelus Funeral Home; A Director of the Liberty Building and Loan Association, Pres Board of Directors, Community Hospital. On the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P.; on the board of Management Y. M. C. A., and as Chairman of the Membership Comm. He was responsible for an unusual high rate of membership. Los Angeles should be proud of such a worthy and progressive citizen as Mr. L. G. Robinson. Fitts For Governor Is The Battle Cry The opening gun by the Eastside Pitts for Governor Club will be fired "tonight" at the Auditorium of the 14th Street School House. The Rally Cry will be "Fitts" for Governor on this record of treating people alike, the rich, the poor, the black, the white, his recognition of every human being regardless, of race creed or religion has won for him a place in the hearts of the people which will not be denied. The Eastside Fitts for Governor Club will open the campaign for the Eastside amid the greatest of enthusiasm which promises to encompass the whole electorate of this section, and to even spread throughout the great State of California. There will be no vaporings or hate and prejudice, but a candid and free exposition of the merit of the candidate. A few special musical numbers will be rendered. Among the speakers who will speak are: Atty, Willis O. Tyler, Dr. J. A. Somerville, J. B. Bass. Mrs. C. A. Bass, president of the Eastside Pitts for Governor Club, will preside. Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards is the Vice President.

We appreciate a leadership which puts principle in front of the dollar and until we cater to and follow only such leaders we will remain where we are, way down in the valley of des- Pondency.. In making this statement we accuse nobody, neither do we have in mind any other than those who refuse to name their man until the dollar question has been determined on. We like to see men and women stand erect and decide upon whom they will suppcrt regardless cf the dollar sign. Having se decided if they are not in a Position to render service with- out compensation they are certainly in a better Position fer a wage than they would be otherwise. Service is worth its re- ward and no one can deny this situation. But the man or weman who cannot decide until they know “how much” ic al ways looked upon with suspicion. fe EIGHTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH | AMENDMENTS—BY JOHN D. REAVIS__ : Law observance—the test. of constitutional loyalty is de- termined by performance. The constitution as a whcle con- stitutes an undivided garment. Its acceptance and consentaneous support determines our measure of patriotic sincerity. Lecp-heles, pelitic statements, evasions and prestidigi- tation can delay but not excuse obedience to the constitution. Colored citizens are the beneficiaries of the 14th Amend- ‘ment. Its provisions enfranchiséd them and provided a “Star in the East” for their enncblement. | They stand before the law, the absolute equas of other | citizens.

They don’t worry about possible fights, short crops of \ berries, probable hard winters or opinions of their neighbors. They get fat in summer and sleep through the winter. But humans need to estivate to get the same rest-up from their period of greatest activity. They have lived a thousand years in one during the long winter. They have had their awn fears and the fears of the world, in addition to the multitudin- ous cares of their own business and other interests.

Such is the tension: of modern life in winter time. Forget it. There’s a big wheat crops cherries are cheap; ths hens are laying. It's a big year, a fine year, a fat year.

Without the relaxation of summer the race would go etark mad, Let no man condemn himself fer lenging for vacation.

The championship was not at stake, but there could not have been any chance of Wells to dethrone Thompson, as the champion was in real form and from the beginning of the first indicated that he intended to make short of the veteran Wells. In the first round he rocked Wells several times and just as the second round was getting under way he shot a right hand punch to Wells' jaw and the fight was over. --- READY TO FIGHT By A. N. P.

TOLAN LOST TO WYKOFF BUT BEAT TWO TEXANS TOLAN LOST TO WYKOFF BUT BEAT TWO TEXANS Chicago, June 17—Although Eddie Tolan, holder of the world's official record of 9.5 seconds for the 100 yard dash, was forced to eat the dust from the heels of the country's best sprinters when he came in fourth in the annual track and field meet of the N. C. A. A. He had the satisfaction of finishing ahead of both Bracey of Rice Institute, Texas, and Cy Leland of Texas Christian University. If they possess the usual distaste southern athletes have for competition with Negroes this defeat was no doubt bitter to them. Tolan was beaten by Wykoff, who won the finals without starting blocks in the record-breaking time of 9.4 seconds, Simpson of Ohio State, who finished six inches behind Wykoff, and Toppino of New Orleans Loyola. In the 220 yard dash which was run in 20.8 seconds and was won by Simpson, Tolan finished third. Edward Gordon of Iowa took the broad jump by leaping an even twenty-five feet in the preliminaries. Ed Hamm Georgia Tech, and former holder of the world's record was unable to jump further than 24 feet, seven inches. An interesting sidelight on Gordon's feat was the fact that he paid his own THE SANITATION OF BATHING BEACHES By ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M.D (For The Associated Negro Press) The season of outdoor bathing and swimming prompts us to call attention to certain dangers to health to which the bather or swimmer may expose himself. The physical benefit offered from wholesome exercises and recreation may be more than offset by illness contracted through exposure to infection unless the individual is unclearly discriminating in the choice of his bathing place. In choosing a bathing place, many people assume that protection is provided through the supervision of some proper official or sanitary authority. In many instances such supervision is either lacking entirely, or so in adequate that little-real protection is afforded. The bather should familiarize himself with the general sanitary requirements for bathing places of various types and should satisfy himself that these requirements have been fulfilled before he decides on the selection of any particular body of water. For the purpose of discussion from a sanitary standpoint bathing places may be divided into three general classes, namely, Natural outdoor ponds, rivers, tidal waters, etc. outdoor pools partly natural and partly artificial in character; and Pools, either outdoor or indoor, which are entirely of artificial construction. The chief danger to health to which bathers may be exposed is pollution of the water with excreta from the bodies of other persons. Such pollution may come from domestic sewage deposited in harbors or streams, or, in swimming pools, either natural or artificial; it may result from direct contamination of the water with the body discharges from the bathers themselves. The existence of pollution in the water of bathing places, while usually unavoidable to a certain extent and not of itself invariably dangerous, is of serious concern, because of potential danger, the ever present possibility that discharges from the human body may contain the germs of infectious diseases. Two important precautions always should be observed in the choice of a bathing place, to ascertain first, that the water, before use, is safe, and, second, that proper steps are taken, especially in ponds and pools, to insure that direct contamination by bathers is offset by dilution through the constant addition of large amounts of fresh water or by appropriate replacement and disinfection. Before use, the water should be approximately the same bacteriological purity as drinking water, whether the bathing place be a stream, pond, or a pool. Under certain circumstances, as in a stream or pond, the water may have more turbidity or cloudiness than is allowable for drinking water being at all dangerous. Open water in large streams, lakes and bays are usually safe if there is no discharge of sewage nearby or above the bathing beach. There is an erreoneous popular idea that the water in a stream will purify itself under all conditions in traveling over a certain distance. It is true that natural purification does take place in streams, but the distance which pollution will travel in a creek or river depends upon many things such as the amount of contamination compared to the volume of water in the stream and the rate of flow. Pollution will often travel farther in a rapidly flowing broken stream than in a slow flowing placid one. The best plan, when there is doubt as to the safeness of a water supply, is to seek the advice of the health authorities and depend upon bacteriological examination and a sanitary survey rather than upon haphazard opinion. Especially dangerous is the practice of bathing docks, wharves, and sea walls in the harbors of large cities. The waters about such places are usually grossly polluted with human excreta from sewers or boats. Such waters are likely at any time to contain the germs of typhoid fever and dysentery. expenses to the meet as the result of an argument with the track coach at Iowa Twenty-five feet is the best he has ever done.

Champion Jack Thompson Gets Big Ovation In Third Round Knockout "Hit him Jack, Hit Him!" screamed two beautifully dressed colored girls in the ring-side section of the Olympic, Tuesday night as Jack Thompson, champion welterweight of the world, fashed from his corner to meet Joe Cordozla in the 10-round bout, and from all over the Olympic came similar cries, but those of these two are mentioned because they plainly showed that boxing was all a new exciting thing to them. Through that part of the house, and also through the balcony, were large numbers of other colored fans, many of whom were also attending their grist fight. They came to see their champion and it was a real champion he proved himself to be, although his opposition was not of the calibre either to make him extend himself or show his marvelous boxing skill. As Thompson entered the ring, announced by Dan Tobey, as the new welterweight champion of the world, arousing cheers from both black and white, greeted him, and seemingly the white fans were as proud of him as the colored ones. With the gameness which his manager, Fred Winsor, had accredited him, Joe Cordoza fearlessly tore after the champion at the opening bell and in the exchanges, landed several good blows tothe head and body. Jack seemed to be taking it easy as he studied his man out and planned his battle, quickly learning that he was tough and dangerous both as to his shetty swings and because of his low crouchling style of fighting. It would be an easy matter for Jack to breaw his hands on the boy's elbow or head. Just before the bell, the champion began lashing out with right and left driving Cordoza into a deeper cover. To bring him up from this, Thompson looped a hard right hand to the kidney which straightened him up but also brought a spiteful b-o-o from some friends in the balcony. Jack measured him for the "kill", but just then, the bell rang. In a second, Thompson moved in close, shot left and right like machine gun bullets tr the mid-section and button.
