Dr. Mahlon C. Cooley Shot by Former Mate 1879 VOLUME 43 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord----Rom. 6:23 THIS IS MY ANSWER A YOUNG MAN still in his glowing teens asked me a few days ago. "Why do you start your column with a Bible verse?" And like the Frenchman, in the next breath answered his own question, "I thought maybe you were expecting to die soon." Well, young man, this is my answer: I am trying to learn how to live, and in using these bits of Scripture I am simply passing them on since in them I find great comfort, believing that no life can be pure in its purpose, strong in its strife and all life not be purer and stronger thereby. This is my answer. MAY GOD FORGIVE EDWARD PROCTOR, the man who deceived, gazed upon the cold marble slab, where rested the lifeless form of his wife and three children—his entire family. Through tear-dimmed eyes this man looked out into an empty chasm called FUTURE. He almost felt himself stumbling onward through life, trying to think that behind this cloud that brought havoc and death to him, that a little ray of sun still shines. But as he tried to warm his frozen thoughts with these wee rays of sunshine, he sees at his feet his baby of old time and there standing before him is its mother, the woman he deceived. He tries, poor feeble man, to explain away his part in the tragedy by saying, "She was older than I and as the years came and went she ceased to be attracted by the things that interested me." "What God has joined together, let no man rend asunder," are solemn words which should not fall lightly upon the ears of those who join hands and heart before the marriage altar, as well as those who listen in. Had the other woman realized the harvest to be reaped through the seed of sorrow when she suffered herself to become a part of the eternal triangle that wrecked the home and happiness of the Proctor family, she no doubt would have proved stronger than the temptation to which she yielded. THE BRAZENNESS OF THE SITUATION SHOULD BE AT ONCE RESENTED IF A GROUP of Negro capitalists were to go into the Wilshire district with the intention of setting up an open air market, they would soon be told that if such a plan is carried out the employees of said market would have to be white people because of the fact that the majority living in close proximity to it were white. There is a certain McFarland who comes to Central avenue, opens a big market, supported almost entirely by Negroes and refuses to use even partly Negro employees. Now what are you going to do about this situation? The California Eagle, by way of the Industrial Council will wage a ceaseless warfare on such institutions as the McFarland Market until this situation is changed. "Let those who would be free first strike the blow." refers to the Negro's economic status as forcefully as it does to his politics, so our first step towards economic freedom must be taken in the direction of developing such enterprises as the Pyramid Grocery Company, and by demonstrating that McFarland and all such business concerns depending largely upon Negro patronage must give recognition in return for support received. Then again we say, let us do in Los Angeles what the Chicago Whip has done in Chicago—"Don't spend your money where you cannot earn." THE AMERICAN NEGRO LABOR CONGRESS A BIG DEMONSTRATION mass meeting by the American Negro Labor Congress was held at Canton, Ohio last week at which time this body adopted a resolution which vigorously condemned lynching and terrorism.

Golden State Production Contest Huge Success The recent baseball production contest based on a drive for new business by the agency staff of the Golden State Insurance Company, came to an exciting close last week when Division Two of the Home Office District, better known in the contest as the "Tigers," won first place in volume of business produced and captured the big cash prize. The second team prize was won by the Minor Districts, whose official contest name was "The Reds." Mr. Stewart Stovall was captain of the "Tigers," while the "Reds" were led by Mr. S. A. Lockett until he became disabled, after which Mr. E. L. Banks assumed this position. As a result of this successful drive, the entire agency force gathered in the banquet hall of the Home Office building as the Company's guest and there partook of a very sumptuous repast, heard the reports of the various teams and witnessed the distribution of prizes as follows: The "Tigers.'' winners of first place, received a check for $137.50; and to the fighting "Reds." a check for $87.50 was presented as winners of second place. In addition to these cash prizes the following representatives won individual prizes: Vernon McCalla, the Babe Ruth of the agency force, a tailor made suit of clothes, as leading batsman. Wm. Hudspeth, considered the Rojah Hornsby of the Golden State, walked off with second honors and won several high class shirts. E. P. Greene of Bakersfield, won an expensive pair of shoes by nosing out T. Southern. N. W. Johnson and D. C. Carter for third place. All in all, the contest drive was the most enthusiastic one ever held by the Company and as a result, many policies were issued, many persons received the superior Golden State protection and the Company received a splendid increase in its volume of business. Following the distribution of the prizes by Norman O. Houston, Secretary-Treasurer, speech making was in order, with Geo. A. Beavers, Jr., Vice-President and Director of Agencies, presiding as Master of Ceremonies. Among those who responded to winning and losing causes were. Edgar Johnson.

Johnson, Superintendent of Riverside, Stewart Stovall. Assistant Superintendent of Home Office District and others. The president. Wm. Nickerson. Jr. was on hand and made an inspirational address that was very edifying to members of the staff. Following this the affair was brought to a close with each agent trying to get through the exit into the street to write a $5000 policy and join E. J. Johnson and Jefferson Brown, who were the first members of the staff to write this class On last Sunday, June 22nd Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Williams of 1189 East 53rd street entertained with a beautiful five-course dinner party, in honor of Mrs. Mamie Whitney and daughter Winifred, of Seattle, Washington. The table was gorgeously setup with appropriate decorations; while the house was elaborately provided with both garden and cut flowers, making a most pleasing atmosphere with the variated color scheme of green and red.

Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Bilbrew, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Rene, Mr. Spencer Seals; Mrs. Carolina Moore, Mr. Wm, Powell, Mrs. Addle Johns, Mrs. J. T. Ambrose and Master George Rene. Falling In Line for Fitts For Governor Los Angeles (Specil Dispatch) June 26th Women of Los Angeles County are pouring into the front line trenches in the battle to elect Buron Fitts governor at the primary election, August 26th. With the Women's Christian Union Temperance leading the way the ladies of the candidate's home county are rallying to his support. The past week found the 26 units of the W. C. T. U. in the city of Los Angeles endorsing Fitts and pleading the assistance of each member to his cause. The action of the city Federation followed closely upon a resolution passed by the 86 units in County of Los Angeles commending Fitts for his fearless administration of the office of District Attorney and his support of national administration. Mrs. Charles W. Decker, director of woman's activities in Southern California, reports a growing spontaneity in the enthusiasm with which Fitt's candidacy is being received by the women of the entire state. In another department of the campaign splendid progress is reported. This is the veterans' division now engaged in coordinating activities of Fitts' ex-service supporters throughout the state. Phil Dodson, former state commander of the American Legion and now national executive committeeman of that organization, is one of the signers of Fitts' nominating petition. Veteran clubs are being formed daily both north and south. William Nost, Tom Cavitt, L. D. McArdle and Sid Parsall all well known Legionnaires are among the most active workers for Fitts, himself a past department commander. Fitts now in the south following an extensive tour of the northern section of the state is confident of victory in August when the Republican nomination tantamount to election. "People of this state have arrived at the time when they desire to substitute a program of action for the program of delay, linger and wait in effect in state government during the past four years." Fitts declared. Dr. Maholm C. Cooley well known physician and surgeon was shot four times Wednesday evening, corner of E. 4th Street and Fresno street in Boyle Heights at about 10:30 P. M. Details as to the cause of the shooting are hazy at this writing. However, it is certain the Dr. was shot four times by a 32 Automatic pistol which was fired by his former wife who is now a Mrs. Moore and lives in Venice with her husband. It is also reported that her husband was with her at the shooting and drove her in a Ford car to Venice, and the police of that City arrested the former Mrs. Cooley also her husband whom they are holding as a material witness. The gun with which the shooting was done carried 8 shots and the only reason all were not fired is the fact that the 7th cartridge was off size and jammed in the chamber. She carried the gun in her hand bag. The shots took effect as follow one in lower axle of the left jaw, fracturing the same, one in his hip and a shot in each of his lower limbs. He was rushed to the Receiving Hospital where he received first aid and was later brought to the Dunbar Hospital where he is now under the care of Dr. F. A. Pearl. Inquiries from his nurse, Mrs. M. B. Hough are to the effect he is resting easy. Dr. Cooley is well known and very popular. He has had domestic trouble for the past several years when his former mate married. His friends thought it was at an end. However, the events related above do not substantiate such a conclusion. Mrs. Moore is locked up in jail awaiting the result of Dr. Cooley's wounds before bond can be made. Robeson's "Othello" Is Greatest Ever Say London Dailies Robeson's "Othello" Is Greatest Ever Say London Dailies New York, June 20—Clippings recounting in full the sensational triumph in London of Paul Robeson in the part of Shakespeare's "Othello" and containing laudatory reviews of the life of Mr. Robeson written by his wife, have now reached the office of the National Association For The Advancement of Colored People, from England. The space given Mr. Robeson in the English press and the warmth of the eulogies are extraordinary. The Morning Post, one of London's most influential and conservative dailies, devotes an entire page to photographs of the production and in addition to a highly laudatory review of the performance publishes an editorial entitled "Ole Man Othello", which begins as follows: "Last night Mr. Paul Robeson played Othello and the occasion was one of considerable artistic interest. The interest, however, was due to the fact, not that Mr. Robeson is a man of color and that Shakespeare gave to Othello many characteristics that belong to rather than a Negro than to a Moor, but to the fact that M. Robeson is a very great artist. His success both as singer and actor has been remarkable; and the interest lay n some further discovery of his remarkable talents." In its revie wite Morning Post called Mr. Robeson's performance a noble one "much finer in many respects than in one's sincerest moments of admiration he had expected," and said it was received with "tumultuous apolause. Encouraged by recent wins and the triumphs of other colored boys, Young Harry Wills above once a big Olympic headliner is staging a come back. WYKOFF WON'T RACE CANADIAN Frank Wykoff, University of Southern California sprinter who ran the 100-yard dash in 9 2-5 seconds for a new record, today had decided not to run against Percy Williams, Canadian track star, at Vancouver, B. C., July 2. He does not want to remain in training all summer. Williams defeated Wykoff in two dashes at the 1928 Olympic games in Amsterdam. Tennis Star Recovers Fighting off a serious attack of illness with the same fortitude that has won her many thrilling court duels. Josephine Brown widely known tenis, his star and secretary of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs won her battle and is rapidly regaining her strength. Mrs. Brown has been missed in net circles now undergoing a revival of interest after considerable slump, but immediately on her convalescence got in touch with Mrs. Biller of Snycer Field and Mr. Lott of the Playground Dept. for the purpose of arranging an open meet July 4th. Neil Clisby Opens 18-Hole Golf Course Undoubtedly the most expensive and most novel golf course is being opened this week at 51st and Central avenue by Neil Clisby, famous pugilist, known as the "California Thunderbolt." It is one of the few of the miniature golf courses that have become the rage that has 18 holes. Occupying the greatest part of the large corner lot there it has been built under the supervision of Mr. Mike O'Gara, Clisby's manager. It has red cement walks beautifully decorated the greens shaped in artistic figures, and with all the most intricate, elaborate and difficult hazards of all in the city. LIKE REAL GOLF Playing a game on this course is almost like real golf except that it is easier to learn it than any of the other miniature courses. One of the greens necessitates a real air shot to make the ball fall on the next green. Myriad floodlights make it as light as day. Oscar, Clysby, state golf champion, will be one of the instructors. He is a famous brother of the famous Neil. WHO SAID STRIBLING CAN'T HIT? Chicago—W. L. (Young) Stribling the south's leading heavyweight house-stepped into a Chicago ring June 20th and startled Chicago fans by knocking out Otto Von Porat, the hard-hitting Norwegian, in one round. It was one of Chicago's biggest fistic upsets, since Von Porat had been considered one of the two leading middle Western hopes for the title. Tuffy Griffiths being the other. The knockout punch was a left book to the jaw. San Francisco, Armand Emanuel and Leo Lomaki boxed a 10-round draw here June 20th. Vancouver, Ritchie King of Los Angeles' lost a 10-round decision to Hector McDonald, local fightwright. San Diego, Charlie Cobb, Texas welter, stopped Sammy Santos, Los Angeles Filipino, in the ninth round.

His father Scipio accompanied him on the trip to carefully train and watch over the new welter king. Jack looks fit as a fiddle and both he and his father are full of confidence that he will beat Corbett. Ringsider Says Godfrey Warned Twice Philadelphia, June 24—Primo Carnera's progress up the ladder to heavy-weight fame and millions was temporarily interrupted when the big, good-natured Italian was dropped by a low blow in the fifth round of his fight with George Godfrey. For two and one-half rounds, Godfrey, who weighted 250 pounds to Carnera's 262, hit Primo with everything but the water bucket. And the Italian took it, and kept coming in for more, growing better every minute. Godfrey, twice warned for low hitting, then fouled out. The referee, John Reilly, announced immediately that the blow was a deliberate foul. It was a left hook to the groin which stretched Carnera in agony on the cann DUKE ELLINGTON'S BAND WESTBOUND FOR AMOS AND ANDY FILM A bit of news that came by wire Tuesday from the manager of Duke Ellington's Band to Mr. M. A. Ellsworth, manager of the Tivoli Theater stating that they would be here shortly will arouse great interest and anticipation among music lovers of all races. For this famous band has through their long sensational success on stage and radio, club and movie appearances become the most famous aggregation of jazz artists with New York as their headquarters. TO MAKE AMOS 'N ANDY FILM Of greater interest is the fact that the world famous Amos 'n Andy are going to make their first picture and secured Ellington's band for the music above all others. During their stay here their activities will be directed by Mr. Ellsworth who plans to present them in some large auditorium here and also in surrounding towns. Brother and Sister Win Tivoli New Talent Contest In an endeavor to reveal all the hidden talent possible, Manager M. A. Ellsworth manager of the Tivoli Theater completed a four weeks contest there last Saturday night and awarded the prizes to the lucky winners. With the audience as judges and several business men selected at random for referees the contest finals were decided perfectly fairly and surely. Each Saturday night the winners were saved for the fourth and deciding week. After carefully checking the vote of the packed house the judges after a discussion decided to award the first prize to Harry and De Lenge 21 and 23 respectively brother and sister. They are called the "Two youthful Harmony Artists and in their brief life have already made an excellent start beginning when mere children. Irene is a wonderful pianist and Harry a violinist of great talent. The first prize was a beautiful loving cup and a contract for a week's work at the Apex Club, both of which were awarded them. The second prize was to the glorious voiced fifteen-year-old singer called the "Brown Al Jolson." It was also a beautiful cup. The third prize of $5.00 went to Jack Williams a very clever dancer whothough only fifteen is unsurpassed by many seasoned professionals. PARISH AND ALTON REDD'S BAND SUNDAY As a special attraction this Sunday "The Brown Al Jolson" and Alton Redd's Band will appear at the Tivoli Sunday for two performances, and many who have heard of the wonderful singer will have an opportunity to hear him. The De Lugges' first prize winner formerly with the Elks Club at Oakland, the Ki Wanis Club at Long Beach on KFQZ radio here and for six months KFI. THE UNDERWORLD—that mysterious section of large American cities, where dwells the criminal element is portrayed with fine realism in "Those Who Dance," the Warner Brothers powerful melodrama, starring Monte Blue and Lila Lee, and coming to the Tivoli Theatre next Sunday and Monday. Every effort was made on the part of the studio and Director William Beaudine to instill in this picture the very character and spirit of this fascinating yet terrifying area. "In motion pictures," said Beaudine, "we deal in types. We take characters and places and show them in our stories as representing a large class of such characters and places. But who has ever seen the underworld? It is not a place it is just an imaginative locale, where newspapers and the public have placed the mythical kingdom of crooks." Warner Brothers called on the services of ex-policemen and persons familiar with the dwellings and habits of gangsters and other crooks to act as technical advisors in building the sets depicting the character types. Beaudine selected the minor players and extras by comparing their photographs with those in the Rogue's Gallery of the Los Angeles police station. The sets were made according to the descriptions given by those who had lived among underworld characters. The studio also followed the descriptions in George Klbebe Turner's magazine story, from which Joseph Jackson adapted the screen story. Turner spent many months in Chicago crime districts gathering material for his story. The plot itself is based on a real occurrence, which involved some of the most notorious figures of the underworld. Hollywood extra girls could not be found who were tough enough for dance hall scenes, so girls from Los Angeles "taxi dance halls" were employed. A street set was built patterned after one of the sections of Cicero, Ill., the Chicago suburb that has figured as the locale for many sensational crimes. Persons who have witnessed "Those Who Dance" have not failed to notice this element of realism that has been injected by director and studio into the film story. Monte Blue appears as a cop who poses as a crook to gain needed evidence on a gangster. Lila Lee helps him, and William Boyd and Betty Compson portray underworld characters. Prominent in the large cast are William Janney, Wilfred Lucas, Cornelius Keefe D. Wilt Jennings and Gino Corrado. Monarchs Stage Game With Nashville By A. N. P. Muehlebach Field: Kansas City, Mo. June 24—The last echo of "Amos r 'Randy" has died away. The radio across the street with the loud speaker is put to rout by the noise of some ten or more thousand baseball fans brought to their feet in the latter part of the night baseball game here by sensational playing by both Nashville and Kansas City. We are now witnessing the first artificially illuminated baseball game played in this city, although the father of the nocturnal game lives here, owns the Kansas City Monarchs, and has played many games through Kansas. Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and a series at Nashville on the club's last road trip. The final score shows a 15 to 8 defeat for the Nashville team, and brought the total straight win figure of the league leading Monarchs to twelve. The nocturnal experiment at the big park proved a success from all angles, the lights afforded all light necessary for the players to carry on the game as in day games and while the fields had to be canvassed around to give the batter a background, making it necessary to confine many of the long hits two base blows, both teams seemed satisfied with the results. From the fans point of view the game was weird. It was hard to believe that out on the diamond were eighteen men playing a real game of ball, pitchers hurling like world series heroes, fielders chasing and catching hard and long hit fly balls. Line orives streaking through the bright lights and infielders with the agility seldom witnessed in day games gathering them in and making sensational putouts. The "doubting Thomases" who said that "might baseball will never be a reality" had an opportunity to see for themselves that the sundown game is here to stay. Negro citizens here are proud of the achievement of the Monarchs' owner in bringing the night game here for it is the first of its kind in the world, the largest now in operation and played in the largest park yet to house a night game. Half of the equipment used is of the portable type used by the local team in its exhibition tours during the season, the remainder of the equipment needed to furnish ample light for the big park was supplied by the city light department. a total of 45 floodlights with a total capacity of more than 198.000 watts. The Monarchs are the first Negro team to play night baseball and the first and SAFE! AT TIVOLI SUN. AND MON. C Nora and Dan congratulate themselves on having escaped with their lives from the fight at the Pal Social Club. only club to possess a portable night baseball plant. One of the many amusing features of the night is the very strange feeling that surrounds all the fans, something strange, vastly different, hard to believe, and on the right of us sits a wild-eyed fan shouting to the Nashville pitcher: "Hey, boy! take you time, take your time put the ball over. There's no rush to this game; it can's be called on account of darkness." To the left of us and slingly to the rear comes; "Gee, I can enjoy this game more than any other, and I don't have to keep watching to see if the boss is in the stands, either, and (softly) you see he sneaks off to the day games and I have to duck him to keep him from knowing that I am looking over the game also, and it's hard to watch a good game and keep a weather eye for the big boss, too. But this is much better. The nights are all mine and the boss is not boss now." And on until the last man put out and huge mob left the park. With the crowd went the feeling that they had something to be proud of, the biggest night game in any park and by Negroes.

Wesley Barry, famous freckled faced kid of "Our Gang" comedies now grown and married, is the male lead and star. Nancy Devore, one of the newest discoveries, is female lead. Onest Conley is Barry's colored pal in the story and plays opposite him all through while "Your Modest Scene Peeper gets the best break of his checkered screen career, with a lot of dialogue and several closeups alone and with Conley. The directors frankly admit the color section of the feature is going to help make it. The story follows the fortunes of a white and colored boy through rapidly changing scenes of race track life. Tramps at first sleeping in the straw then a track job, entanglement with crooks, the big race, the crooks foiled, love enters, all happy. Mr. Thorpe is the able genial director.,Mr. Crosby assistant. Mr. Scott general supervisor, and Mr. Cleveland dialogue director.

The high points of the night included the formation of the letters Y M C A by a group of 50 boys, as well as several skirts in which the Y activities and purposes were illustrated. Much skill was displayed in tumbling and parallel bar stunts. Leslie Brown, Emmett Ashford and Billy Boswell provided much comedy for the evening. The uncanny stunts of Leonard Brunson held the audience spellbound; especially the one in which he hung from the iron work of the gym ceiling by his toes. Mr Harold Wilson, Boys' Work Secretary and his assistant, Lester Valley, with the co-operation of the Junior Leaders are to be praised for their tireless efforts in grouping together such splendid youthful talent.

NEW, SHOW Friday, MAY 16th "MINSTREL DAY" RAILROAD CLATTER COAST DOINGS By Charles L. Upton FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1830 RAILRO UPTON SAYS People who live on the west side must have two qualifications, the first is patience, and the next is perseverance. When a west sider wishes to reach the east side, everything is rosy until he arrives at Jefferson and Grand Avenue. Here is where his patience plays a big part. He alights from a "P" car only to find that his transportation, to Central Ave, has just gone, apparently it seems that he must wait until this hard-hearted motorman of the Dixie goes to the end of the life and has his dinner before he makes up his mind that it his duty to come back again and transfer whoever is so fortunate as to be stuck in the corner wishing that some of their friends would come by in a Fliver or what have you and pick them up, however thiselds happens. I wonder if that Motorman's car's ever burn, I think he's the most hated man in the world. The Railroad Clatter congratulates the following porters on the anniversary of their birth this month. T. Thomas, your birthstone is the Pearl symbol of purity. BAKER HEATER TALK HAS SUPERINTENDENT LEAVING SOON ARMSTRONG TO FILL PLACE the old baker heater is roaring N. at all blast and the porters are spreading that same old salve about a change in administration for the Los Angeles District, if I keep on hearing these rumors, it will make me believe that the porters actually want to get rid of the boss, the report that has reached my ears now from some of these confidential men, is that Mr. Rittenhouse has got a friend of his all singled out to take Mr. Armstrong's position in San Francisco and of course he can not brush Mr. Armstrong aside with out giving him some consideration, because Mr. Armstrong is a very smart man when it comes to knowing his Pullman. So since that is the case, the baker heater fumes have declared that the present superintendent of Los Angeles will board a train for parts unknown. Of course this is all baker heater talk, and this dawgone baker heater has fooled a whole ot of us more than once, however, we have to pay some attention to it when we keep hearing the same thing so much. One thing is certain, a change for the better or worse is boun do occur sooner or later, it can't be much worse; so it is bound to be better in the near future. ROTARIAN SPECIAL IN CHICAGO HOT WEATHER PORTERS WORRY The Rotarians left this city on a special train handled by the well known Pullman Conductor, Cracker Williams. For the past three years Mr. Williams has always had a picket crew on his special, and took particular pains to see that Miss Magnolia Pickens was listed in the crew as the maid. The first time that Miss Pickens went along with Cracker Williams and his Rotarian Special she made a big hit with the passengers. Mr. Williams quick to se that Miss Pickens had made a tremendous hit, put her down on his list as a permanent fixture for the Rotarian Special and brother when you get on Cracker William's list, it is just too bad. Miss Pickens went to Montreal one year and was present on the Rotarian Special which went to Milwaukee last year. The Rotarians as well as the potter's have struck a terrible hot spell in, Chicago, and brother when it gets hot in Chicago, it is hot. The mercury jumped from 92 to 100, and in Chicago that means no sleep for anybody, however, the Rotarians had quite a program lined up as representatives of 64 countries made the trip. An international pageant was scheduled to be given at the Chicago stadium as one of the highlights of the convention, the students of a Chicago High School were to depict the growth of Rotary during the quarter of a century. GREAT NORTHERN RAILROAD TO ENTER CALIFORNIA MAKING THREE TRANS- CONTINENTIAL LINES Just about the biggest news in railroad history was the announcing that the Great Northern Railroad had been granted permission by the Interstate Commerce Commission to construct a 300 mile link which will give them entrance into the state of California. They plan to form a merger in which the Santa Fe will be the third member in the deal, Western Pacific being the other. The project will cost in the neighborhood of $14,000,000 Kid his n SO. C. CRA MAN R. decla presse receive If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened 847 Central Avenue vacancies. Mr. Mays declined to accept President, stating that he wished to give some of the other members a chance in the chair. Other nominations followed with Thomas E. Keyser and B. Smart nominated for President. At the same time another nomination put Keyser up for Grievance committee-man. It was explained to the nominees as well as the members, that Mr. Keyser could only serve in one office, if elected, should he be elected to both offices, he could have his choice. The present Grievance committee-men. Geo. S. Simmons, was renominated, other nominations were as follows: S. McChaney, Vice-Pres., C. Jones, Chairman of the Trustee Board, R. Cannady, Trustee, L. K. J. Dunn, and Ed. M. Thomas H. Dixon was nominated for Conductor, the final election will take place on the 27th and all officers will be elected for a term of 4-years. All members are earnestly requested to be present at this meeting for the good of the local. We wonder how much Sam Miller is getting to run to the office and tell tales on the porters. We wonder how many more secret service porters are in the dstrict. We wonder if Big Grant got by on that Sunset proposition he tried to start. If he oid he sure is a slick boy. I have not found out the details yet but you can bet when I do I will surely publish them. I am on the trail of a little Randolph mess, will tell you about it later, I mean the Randolph working out of this district. What I call a man among men is Wm. Garner. He is only one man, but he has got his reputation at stake, and he drove 471 miles to see that he got a square deal, even if he did not get it. It wont be long now and the Railroad Clatter will shoot its guns, and I don't mean maybe. Campbell Welcomed Home With Cotton Club Contract To be met at the train with a long time contract from Mr. Frank Sebastian of the famous Sebastian's Cotton Club was the enviably good fortune befalling young Dick Cambpell when he returned here last week. DDICK CAMPBELL Dick though just a youngster yet is of the fine, ambitious, self made, and clean cut type of performer who is shire to reach the heights. He started here at the ole Bronx Cabaret. Leaving here in 1927 he went to the White House Tavern in Kansas City. TRAINED BY WHITMAN SISTERS Realizing his talent the Whitman sisters playing in the city took him back to N. Y. with them trained and coached him in the proper manner of entertaining the public. There at the Lafayette and Allambra's down town citie got him to come down to Broadway for Paul Base' understudy in Hot Chocolates as juvenile lead. Mean-time he double at Small's Paradise, 135 and 7th Avenue. Though an orphan Dick worked his way through Paul Quinn collwege getting a B. S. degree and put in one year at U. S. C. where he expects to finish. when completed. The great Northern has been fighting the courts for many years to effect an entrance, but the powerful So. Pacific has always been able to show the Commission a deep point why they should not be allowed to infringe on a territory which they professed to have thoroughly covered. When completed, San Francisco will be apex of the three great transcontinental railroads. This merger should speed up the tourist travel and also speed up the service good business. It will be a treat to sore eyes to see some other road have a line into California other then the S. P. CHICAGO TO DENVER TRAINS HAVE RADIO Beginning next week passengers on one of the trains of the Burlington Railroad between Chicago and Denver will be afforded radio entertainment whether they travel in coaches or Pullman cars. All parts of the train will have radio programs by remote control from a master receiving set in the lounge car. ST. LOUIS CAR CUTS TIME WEST The Missouri Pacific Railroad, Sunday will inaugurate a new through passenger train to Colorado, Utah and the Pacific Coast, leaving St. Louis daily at 6:30 P. M. The new train will be called the Westeriner and is a summer supplement to the famous Scenic Limited, but will operate on a schedule four hours faster than the companion train. It will arrive at San Francisco at 4:15 P. M. on the third day from St. Louis. Effective Sunday, the running time of the Scenic Limited will be shortened 30 minutes between St. Louis, Denver and Colorado Springs. SANTA FE RED CAPS Well, Normand Jones is back on the job, and did you say glad back, Oh! boy! Well I guess yes, I understand he told the man that he would be willing to do most anything, if he would just let him come back and carry some more of them nice Santa Fe Passenger's hand bags, and so he's back. What job is he on? Oh! Why bring that up, he is the head can man. Well I thought that H. Livas was the head cau man he was, but Jones bumped him off. They told me to call him (Buddy Boy Grandison) anyhow the poor kid has been sick, sick of what? Sick of being bit. Frank Worthy has been off sick, as well as Ira Hawkins. And so my old friend Speed Harris claims that he can not make enough carrying hand bags, so he has taken over the interest in the Santa Fe bootblack Stance. He knows his stuff too. Last week a passenger's little boy was wondering around the depot while his daddy was buying a ticket, Speed coaxed the little boy up on the stand and when his daddy found him (Speed was shining his shoes, so Daddy had to pay Speed off. Some class to old Speed, he can make a nickel down at the Santa Fe when the rest are starving to death. The Santa Fe Red Caps held a meeting at the Humming Bird club alst week. They tell me the boys put on everything but quit and Normand Steward had to come home in a barrel. Thomas Nash is still on the extra board, I can not understand how he remains there so long. It seems to me that there has been two or three changes in red caps since Thomas has been there. He should be on regular by now. Harry Livas has got the smile that wont come off since he traded places with Jones. He says no more cans for him. Frank Thompson states that the porters operating on the San Diego Owl are gradually starving to death. The Chef is the only train now operating at the Santa Fe that the red caps can do any good on. The middle shift apparently is getting a tough break they have to get what pickings there is before 5:25 otherwise they are blowed up. Frank Farr has been keeping his eye peeled on the Central Ave. Golf course. It would be just like him to don his knickers and try a round or two.

There will be no dialogue, but a synchronized background of singing and orchestra, with battle sounds, etc., interspersed. There will be a talking prologue and epilogue. Although from the standpoint of art the play will be still greater in its new form the lesson of hatred between the races that it teaches will be the more effective wit hsound. Columbia has finished "Rain or Shine" with Clarence Muse as "Nero." Shine" with Clarence Muse as "Nero." WITH ACTORS, "BIT AND PART" people anxiously awaiting and the little army of "extras" getting restless, "shooting" is expected to start in a few days on the long expected M. G. M. feature, "Great Day." The nothing has been revealed as to the rist of the story yet it R is presumed to be on the order of "Green Pastures" judging from the title and the fact that some of the best Negro singers of spirituals are being interviewed. "THE SEA GOD." Warner's new film sensation which was first titled, "The Lost God" and had 150 colored and 50 crack Hawaiian swimmers playing in it is filming its final scenes on the bottom of the ocean in the crystal clear waters off Catalena Peninsula. Richard Arlen has to work on the ocean floor in a bathing suit. During the first shooting of the scenes an experienced diver who had to appear in a battle sequence with the colored extras almost suffocated from the intense heat inside the air tight suit each time a shot was made. ALONG BROWN BROADWAY The Lincoln is closed as tight as the proverbal oyster now. Mrs. Lauretta Butler's Kiddles' Minstrels was the last affair given there. It is said that Gore Bros. theatrical syndicate let its option run out as hopeless. A beautiful structure gone to waste. "THE FOLLIES" with its 40 dancing beauties and a nearly all colored cast Saturday midnight show is packing them in with "Step Along." Majestic will close its local engagement after the evening performance next Saturday night. Because of previous bookings in San Francisco, where the play will open next Monday evening, it is necessary to end the Los Angeles run. THE ORPHEUM with "Swing High" has both Stepin Fetchet and Clarence Muse in the picture. Clarence is heard in several songs. The woods are full of leaders, They're raising a mighty fuss; And the atmosphere around them, Is filled with verbal dust. Some are sitting on the fence. Who say they are not for sale. But patiently they are waiting. To see a Lizzard on the rail. The candidates are tight wads, That hang on to their laugh; No wonder the crafty Lizzard; Is moring along so slow.

A small bullet hole right between her eyes, yet her other, beautiful brown features unmarked and calm in the inscrutable silence of death, a faint smile upon her cold hips, she lay in the chapel of Conner and Johnson Co. 1400 E. 17th St.! Where the Electric Electric Railway crosses the Avenue in a network of efficient transportation, the body was found still warm, but without a finger paint, without a track in the gravel; without a single clue as to the identity of the voluptously formed, expensively, clothed body, or the perpetrator of this awful, mysterious crime! In less time than it takes to tell efficient Newton detectives were hot on the trail, like trained relentless blood hounds determined to "get* their man (or woman as the case may be). Who did this? Who did this? During their investigation they also learned that Electric Ranges at $10 down may now be bad by getting in touch with the Bureau of Light and Power.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened WHY NOBODY GOES TO CHURCH By WILLIAM PICKENS I am in Sionix Falls, S. D—It is Sunoay, and yesterday and today the newspapers were full or reports of the latest lynch murder in Oklahoma. A colored man was accused of raping a white man's wife; the thing was never proven. Have you not noticed that they are afraid to bring such charges into court? Yes, because they fear something else may be proven. But the "National Guard" allowed itself to be "overpowered" by the mob then the officers allowed the woman's husband to come into the jail and stab the trapped and bound Negro to death. This white man is not even being held under bond. Well, with all this big human news in the papers, we "po' cullud fokes" in Sioux Falls worked the dials of our radio all Sunday morning turning on one great preacher after the other, in many different cities, trying to see if any of them were attacking this savage situation. And what do you think? There was not a word mentioned on this subject by even the greatest fireeaters or the mightest "heavies" of all the pulpits. But what were their texts and subjects of the morning? Here are a few of them: "Foreign Missions" "Civilizing China" (China ought to sue for slander) "Beyond the Viel" "The Faith of our Fathers" Etc, etc. ; Why, a poor listener from the moon would have thought we were living in an ideal world here. This is all that the white preachers of America dared to talk about, while the stench of Texas and Oklahoma was offending the nostrils of even the heathen gods. And what were the black preachers doing? If they had been broadcasted, some of them would have been discussing the following topics: "The Railroad Train to Heaven" "The Gospel Ship" "Death in the Pot." And yet religious boards continue to wonder why church attendance grows smaller and smaller. W. L. Lee's Shoe Hospital saves your soles at 3811 S. Central.

Pray, what is my gross crime. That grim old father time, Deals such ghostly dreams to me? I dreamed, once, as a lass. I excelled in my class. I earned some lofty degree. Opportunities fled. On Ambition's death bed She willed her visions to me. And I dreamed (not by choice). Folks, on hearing my voice. Applauded with smiles serene But when I am pointed out, I have heard others shout, "Ye Gods! Is that who you mean?" While some, leisurely rome, I must sweat o'er a stove, I'm paid, I admit, and free. Am I sentenced to age, Here, in Poverty's cage. With dreams that never can be? My brown sensitive skin. Craves the gorgeous and thin Gowns, from the shops of Paree, Mine are second hand rags, Fitting like laundry, bags. Frills were not designed for me I dreamed this, by the way; I was joyous and gay Love was my portion, but gee, When I woke from my trance, And there was no Romance I was hurt, yet none could see. Of my babies, I dreamed. How their sweet faces beamed! Nor did it seem strange—My three Still I bitterly wept. For I thought, as I slept Suppose, that too, could not be? If I wallow with hogs, If I go to the dogs, Likely, some would laugh with glee, But in spite of their schemes, They can not rob my dreams, Dreams, that bring comfort to me. Now I sick of it all, Lord, please hasten my Call, Take me to heaven with Thee Then my poor muddled brain Won't be haunted again With dreams that never can be! —IVA O. REED THE MUSICAL WEST CONDUCTED BY JOHN A. GRAY Editors Note—Mrs. Hoard is a prominent teacher of the West Jefferson district and is Recording Secretary of the L. A. M. A. Her remarks are timely and fitting. As we unfold this subject, the thought strikes us, who plays the greater part in a Child's life, the Home, School or Chureh? Having listened to man discussions on this Question, Psychologically speaking, the home plays the greater part. For after all a home surrounded with clean wholesome environment, possessing a mother whose heart is concerned to God with one view, that her child make good, will use every advantage to this end even before he is born. The schools solved the most of their problems by organizing a Parent and Teacher's Association for the purpose of studying the best methods to aid in solving the many problems that confront the Teachers each day. We are traveling through a dispensation of preparedness. On every hand we hear the words, Study, Read and Learn and we are very pleased to note that Music reigns, Supreme and "It does not yet appear what it shall be". I dare say, that Music will be read fluently as one would read literature or other reading matter. As in school life so it is in the Music World. We too need a Parent Teach- ed at the close of the story. When the last chapter is published write out your version of the deep mystery and take it to the nearest firm in your neighborhood, then watch its window for the sequel.

Dickerson on June 13th, 1930 in New York. Mr. Dickerson was very glad and met his wife at the station in their auto, which is a 1930 Cadalic Pheaton Sport model. Mrs. Marie Austin Dickerson has been engaged to start work next week at Smalls' Paradise. They send best regards to all friends in Los Angeles. er's Association to study for our children's sake. Nine-tenths of our children take music because their Parents demand it. Another group because Jane does, etc. A very small per cent take because they are desirous to become Artists; but it is up to the Parent and Teacher to help that child succeed regardless as to the group he represents. The fruits of no co-operation causes this—Mary won't practice. Mother doesn't make her. The teacher can't advance her because of the unsatisfactory work. Mother becomes discouraged, feels the teacher is to blame, results. Changes teachers and it happens again and again. Many pupils right here in Los Angeles have been under two and three different teachers. What is the trouble? Mother didn't co-operate, regardless who the Child's instructor may be, unless the mother sees to it that the child carries out those instructions he cannot succeed. Shakespeare has well said. "All the world is a stage", and each man plays his part. All of us play a part in life towards helping our loved ones to success. Remember, our children wouldn't attend school sometimes unless we compelled them. Beethoven, as we know, was one of our "Great Masters and Composers". In studying his life we learned that his Father who had committed himself to drink would get in that stage of drunkness and pull him out of bed and make him practice for hours. Of course we are not recommending any such cruetly as this to your children, but it carries this thought, that practicing is the secret to success. If we parents would encourage and praise our children when they practice, applaud, show interest, allow them to explain the lesson to us as their teacher instructed them, wear a smile. Let them feel that we are proud of them, and think that they are doing splendid, they would take greater interest in the Art. Teach them the beauty and magnificence of the Art, and above all things, don't expect them to be Paderewiski's in two months, but remember, it takes time, patience and faithful practice to succeed. When you do this parents, you will have co-operated with the teacher and we know you will be more than astonished with the results, and you will have the victory. "Let us then be up and going, with a heart for any Fate. Still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait."

TO THE GIRL OF 14- CONCERNING HER BODY AP-PRECIATION It made me very happy this last week when I stepped into the "Y" to have a young man. Mr. W——, by name, walk up to me and say how truly he enjoyed reading "Plain Facts" each week, an dthen while he was still talking a very estimable young lady joined us to state, "yes. Dr. Temple I read the column every week, it is one of the first things that I look for, and I would not miss it for anything." From comments and conversations everywhere I know that the young people are truly interested in "Plain Facts." I also know that their interest is high because of the flood of questions which I have before me for our question day in July, and more than ever do I wish to answer your questions, and meet your health needs. And we wish Mr. W—— and all of the other young men to feel that these "facts" are written as much for them, as for our girls; because the whole world will be more wholesome and more clean, and safer place to live when our boys really know, and respect all of the marvelous attributes of girlhood and womanhood, and when our girls n turn know and sincerely respect the attributes of true manhood. THE FEET OF YOUTH As the foundation or "understanding" of the body, the feet have a tremendously important role to play in the general health and happiness of each individual. You know, little 14-year-old: that no baby was ever born with a corn or a bunion. We, after we get here all cultivate and develop our own foot trimmings and accessories. In babyhood if an improper diet, short in vitimines, mineral salts etc., is given, then the bones of the babies feet and other parts of its body are softened or rather are prevented fro mebcoming hard or firm. Thus when a baby especially one who is over fattened by too much starch in its diet, stands upon these softened bones, then foot deformities begin. No child who is over weight should be encouraged to walk early. Watch your baby and be sure that it is not over weight. Have it weighed at least twice a month.

While we would rather look at a good farm or business than resorts and amusements we think here in Elshore the Negro has one spot that he has his hands on that he should capitalize on and improve. That spot is the beach lands a group of our folks owns on the lake. They have owned this choice spot for years and have done nothing with it. Improvements have sprung up all around and about them yet they visualize not. A fortune is filtering through their fingers simply because they refuse to spend enough for ordinary sanitary improvements that will make it an inducement for folks white or colored to visit. Folks would spend 25c to enter if improved whereas now they won't spend a dime. Showers and other modern bathing facilities, a graveled or oiled road, a few plants and flowers and ten or 15 sanitary cabins would change this site from an eye-sore to a money making investment. Wake up owners before progressive Elsinore restricts you out of your rights. Met Judge Coleman up here. The Judge is in poor health and considerably slowed up. When you visit here visit him and his hotel. He is deserving or your patronage for he has pioneered your cause and made it possible for the sun to shine in many a home that was dark and gloomy before you contacted him. In keeping with the ritualistic works of government we find ourselves in the midst of a political campaign that is fast drawing to a white heat. There seems to be no etiquet among politicians and as a consequence we find various political camps using such strong terms as liars, shysters and political demeaagues toward each other. We find governor, and hope to be governors, and lesser lights in the political race for various offices, particularly in the colored districts, sunplanting Christ in the churches on Sunday making sinners out of Christians, holding revival meetings for votes instead of revival meetings for salvation of souls. True we are over populated not with religion but with too many assortments, too many churches and consequently too many preachers, yet we feel it an imposition on Christianity when the ministry permits office-seekers to invade the sanctity or their sacred edifice on Sunday and spill political filth upon their audience in an effort to discredit each other with the hope that they may pick up enough votes to outdistance their rival for the office sought. "Let us have respect for our religious institutions to the extent that we will not allow our churches to be used for a political football game on Sunday," says Rev. Dr. Hassichier Green in his address delivered last Thursday before the Political Knockers Association of which Shuler Bob is president and McPherson Simple Amie is rice-president. Again while we are on the subject of molities we hear some ignorantis objection to Pitts for governor because he is from "down home." Some how or other they entertain the idea and spread the gospel that the Nero has no friends in the South or enemies in the North. Will someone kindly make Senator Sam Shortridge of California? Judge Parker wishes to thank him for his hearty support. Please reserve Sunday afternoon, July 13th for the regular meeting of the Industrial Council, which will be held at St. Paul Baptist Church, 21st and Naomi, Come out and assist in a program of economic development. Mrs. C. A. Bass, President Mrs. Edna Smith, Secretary If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Pasadena Section Mrs. Ada Irby the Supt. of Mother's Work of the California State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will spend her vacation in the Bay District after attending the session of the State meeting of the Federation of Women's Clubs. The many friends of Mr. William Martin of Pasadena are rejoicing with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Martin of 834 Worchester Ave. over the continued success of accomplishments of young Martin, the standard he has raised and step by step is making rapid progress to the goal of higher education. After graduating from the Pasadena High School in the class of 1926 he entered Wilberforce University of Ohio graduating June 12th, 1930, receiving the Bachelor Degree of Science. Mr. Martin is now visiting at Columbus. Ohio for the summer, will leave for New York in September of this year, where he will enter the Columbia University to begin studying for Master Degree of Science. We know this bright intelligent young man are proud at having him a Pasacanien and of one of our best families in Pasadena. We congratulate him upon his achievements and his faithful parents for their great sacrifice of raising a higher standard of educational efficiency. By Roberta Heard Mrs. Thad Dawson of Berkeley, sister of Edward Grubbs, is vifting her mother, Mrs. A. Jackson of 1133 Lincoln Avenue. We feel that Miss Heard deserves special mention for having graduated Central Avenue Gardens Popular Young Couple married, Miss Gladys Bell, only daughter of Mrs Mary Ellis of Baird Ave., was married to Mr. Kenneth Buckner, son of Mrs Eva Payne, on the evening of Tuesday, June 24th at Mt. Olive Baptist Church by Rev. H. B. Hawes. The Bride who was given in marriage by her grandfather, Mr. Alee. Roath, wore a gown of Ivory Satin, made princess style with setins of real lace and she carried a shower of white roses with maiden hair fern. Her long veil of French net, was caught in place, cap fashion, with a cluster of orange blossoms. Mrs. Majory Betz, nee Marjory Bain, as Matron of Honor wore yellow taffeta and carried a bouquet of yellow sweet peas. Miss Clara Scott, maid of honor, wore pink organdy with tight bodice and her flowers were pink sweet peas. The gowns of the bridesmaids were of organdy and were fashioned in the latest mode. Little Miss Mary Price wore Orange. Miss Leola Fisher, Nile green; Miss Julia Ventor. Orchid, Miss Katherine Jeffersonpeach; Miss Etta Blue. Yellow; Miss Dena Brooks, Baby Blue. Sweet peas of corresponding shades were carried by the attendants. The best man was Henry Coleman and ushers were Messrs. Herbert James, Russel Ellis, Elsworth Conway and Carl Jefferson. The two little flower girls, Helen Hayman and Genevieve Venton were dressed in pastel shades of pink. The ring bearer, little Bert Hayman Jr., was attired in full dress. Mrs. Edmodra Thopay Polk played the two conventional wedding Marches. Miss Johnnie Mac Small sang "I love You Truly," just before the bridal procession entered. The church was beautifully decorated by Mr. and Mrs. J. Stovall, assisted by Damesdane E. Fisher, A. Waiton and Mr. J. Peace. Following the ceremony, a reception was held at the bride's grandmother and grandfather, Mr. and Mrs. A. Roach of 9215 Baird Ave. The members of the bridal party sat at the table, which was centered with the time honored pyramidal cake topped with a "THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CON- TROVERSY OF M.T. OLIVE BAP- TIST CHURCH AND THE REV. JAMES SPENCER." Rev. Spencer is holding temporary services at 9215 Baird street in an unfinished house with about five members. The Rev. Mr. Spencer is awaiting the final outcome of the court procedure. I hold that he has never been the pastor of the above church. Deacon Peace and myself were appointed to invite the Rev. Mr. Spencer to preach for us for four Sundays only and not to interfere with the internal affairs of the church. However above our objections he continued to remain and cause internal strife. After due investigation of his pastorate at 46th and Compton we find that to cause his removal it was necessary to move windows, doors and chairs and at the real estate of office at 28th street and Central avenue the same procedure was necessary. Having gained this information we carried this back to our membership of about 40 persons, the Rev. Mr. Spencer learning of our intentions, gathered a crowd not members of the church who proceeded to out vote us as there were only a very few of the actual membership present at the time and he was sitting as moderator Rev. E. L. Green is not a rival for the pulpit but is working very hard to save the church to the members. L. D. BATEMAN. favors THE BUYER THE UNITY FINANCE CO.

Defiant Jap Fruit Dealer Should Be Taught Where To Head In A Jap merchant who enjoys a 90 per cent colored trade at his stall in the Drive in Market, 28th and Central should be taught just a little bit of a lesson, on "Spending your money only where you can get returns," for truly if he spends to advertise in a Negro papers, he is not helping to keep men, women, boys and girls at work.

PAYS DIVIDENDS Featureting the culmination of another successful year's business in the recordmaking growth of the Pacific Coast Building-Loan Association, and evidencing a belief in the upward trend of economic conditions, the board of directors of this association has declared its tenth semi-annual dividend to all holders of membership, shares as of June 30th, according to announcement of Walter R. Knox local representative of the association. With assets now well over the seven million mark, a record established without mergers or combinations of any kind in the short period of five years, Pacific Coast Building-Loan Association, according to A. A. Anderson, the secretary, has never paid less than 8 per cent per annum on its membership shares. As all borrowers are owners of membership shares, they will participate in the large dividend just declared by the board of directors. Pacific Coast has included this divi dend, distributed to its members and certificate holders, during its five years of existence, more than $1,250,000. "While it is impossible to deny that there have been and are unsatisfactory economic conditions in Southern California, and for that matter throughout the country," stated Mr. Anderson, "we have faith in the sure if somewhat slow return to normal financial conditions. Building and Loan Associations are among the greatest stabilizers in the community, affecting favorably laborer and material dealer and thus reaching into every channel of trade and business. For this contribution to civic development, building-loan members are entitled to a liberal return on their savings." The Arkansas Traveler BARBECUE INN.

This, however, does not mean that he has completely recovered but he is rapidly regaining his strength and it will only be a matter of a few days before no trace of his illness will be left. We enjoyed splendid services throughout the day on last Sunday. We are hoping to make next Sunday a day to be long remembered by those who shall be present, the Junior Steward Board will have charge of all services that day; they have selected Mrs. Viola Baleum Brazil, to preach at 11:00 o'clock A. M. and she always has a message worthwhile. A splendid young woman, and an exceptional speaker. A social program has been arranged for the evening hour. 7:45. The Junior Steward board is one of the chosen departments of the church it is composed of a set of young Christian men who are trying to unite their efforts with the various boards in furthering the cause of Christianity so we are asking for them the support of the members and friends of Phillips Temple. Dr. Holt Takes Leave On Tuesday night last the ovation tendered Dr. R. N. Holt by the Baptist Ministers. Union at St. Paul Baptist Church was not only a credit to the Denomination but to the citizens as well. The program was excellent, the speakers were not at a loss for something to say as Dr. Holt's work on the Coast has been a blessing to the Baptist as a whole and St. Paul and East Temple Baptist Churches in particular on each permit the writer to comment on each participant. Each spoke out of the fulness of their hearts and gave to Dr. and Mrs. Holt their flowers while they could be appreciated. Both responded beautifully. Dr. Holt leaves immediately for the East. To say he will be missed is saying it mildly. He has the prayers and best wishes of a host of friends and admirers. Day. The Rev. G. A. Miller of Venice will be our Morning preacher. In the Evening an old Time Hyangelistic Service will be held. Dr. Messer, formerly of Pittsburgh, Penn, will be the preacher. Our great Gospel choir will be in full charge of the singing.

M. pastor Williams will preach from the following subject: "The uplifted Christ" 8 P. M. "Christ the Chief attraction in Heaven". Last Sunayo the Pastor preached from the subject "Rain comes, down from Heaven" using the following topics. First Rain falls on the just and unjust alike. Second the Gospel comes from God—There is no respect of person, falls on all alike and they alone are saved who have the desire to be. M. As pastor Williams pictured the rain and other blessings falling on the just and unjust and how the unjust accepts these favors but are such ingrates they never stop to give thanks or praise to this beautiful giver.

The girls spent the evening playing cards in a jovial way. They were then served a very delightful luncheon by the hostess which was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Thelma Kennedy, Reb't SPOTLIGHT By: BILL EDWARDS Howdy Folks: we're back after spotting the Northland for a week. Last week's news got lost in the shuffle but we'll try and make up for it this week. * * * * * Trekking up the coast route we found Miss Pal Jackson, that versatile entertainer who was in Australia last season, at our first stop in Santa Barbara. She's getting a rest in this quite little Spanish town and senses greetings to her many friends in L. A., says she'll be in L.A. soon. * * * * * The next stop was San Mateo we threw the spot of little "Jo", who is stopping with relatives at the fashionable resort at Menlo Perk. Josephine Richardson is well liked in San Francisco and Oakland for her personality and enjoyable parties we were lucky enough to rate one. On reaching the Bay City—Oakland we set out to spot the most in the shortest time. So with the aid of Lukel Rosser (Patrick to Ladies) we violated an old Spanish custom and "erashed" if on a meeting of the fashionable Phyllis Wheatley Club. being an exclusive—girls organization we were somewhat daring. Although we didn't participate in the Bridge playing among the 24 sweet young things we came in for the customary refreshment. (and was that nize). Tarea Pitman is the president this year with Lueh McCalla as vice-pres. Edith Davis, secretary, Thelma Brooks financial secretary, and Miss L. C. Singleton, treasurer. This meeting held at Mrs. Ledfred 1075, 42 St. Berkeley was the last of the season before the summer recess. We weren't supposed to know but we do venture to predict the culmination of the romance of Lueh McCalla (Vernon's Baby Sister) and Tommy Jackson real soon. Who take the odds? All young and attractive batelems take notice you are forewarned of the near invasion of this city of several fair damshes whose purpose is matrimony By attractive we mean not only social eligibility but financial stability as well. Good looks optional. The Misses Beata Simmons and Hildred Sharrow no doubt will be among the above referred to ladies. Last Friday the Deltas and Onegas gave a Barn Dance for the benefacit of the girls infirmary at the University of California at Berkeley, which was a "gosh darn" success as Barn yard vernacular goes. We must not forget to relay the greetings sent south from those two sweethearts of the Northland Omita Lily and Grace Morgan, as to who they sent special greetings, "don't esk" now. We found John Pitman holding the "Fort" as per usual. He left L.A. a rather abruptly but seemingly to finish his Master-Thesis: "Quien Sabe?" Couldn't get focussed on the Martin sisters in Oakland nor Caroline Carrington in Frisco. But did spend much time running down hot tips in Frisco. Back through the Valley we chose not to awaken the citizenry so early in the A.M., but in Bakersfield we stopped to turn the arc on Juanta Warren recently a Pandora Athenian. It's probably, now that Rita Michel, Ruth Harrison and Vivian Howard having their initial airplane flight that they will become air minded. Thus the fellows will be kept up in the air as the old saying becomes a reality. We are in receipt of the statement that Mary Savoy and Billie Peoples are leaving the city of the Angels for the East within two weeks. This news will come as a blow to their many friends and especially two young men. Good things can't last forever so "cheerio." A certain young lady (member of the Smart Set Club; L. F. residing on Hooper Ave.) was forced to entertain three males last Monday nite, when asked which was which she said lightly. "Oh he's out of the city." We are wondering if he is in San Diego or San Francisco. That's a Smart Set for you. Mr. Eugene Huffman and. Harold Jones were joint hosts at an imprompt party at the beautifully decorated home of Mr. and Mrs. S. Holmes on South Harvard Blvd. last Sunday. Among the guests were the Misses Thelm Hardon, Ruth Harrison, Bobby Black, Rita and Corrine Michel and Mr. Charles Martin, Calvin Edwards, Bill Brown. Charles Beale of Redlands, pianist. Yours Truly and Lucille ? ? Last Monday evening the Girl Re- Mr. Thomas Glover has returned to the city after an absence of several months visiting his old home in Wichita, Kansas. Mr. Glover also spent several months in the National Capitol, where he visited his son, Mr. Bert Glover, returning to Los Angeles in time for the big Fourth of July blow-out of the Kansas club of which he is the president. GIRLS FRIEND CHARITY CLUB The Girls Friend Charity Club met at the Miss Etta Atkinson 1713 E. 52 St. An enjoyable evening was spent in playing cards.

DEPARTMENT OF PLAY- Dear Editor: In the June 23rd issue of this department's weekly news letter to the press, a story describes the annual city-wide playground pageant. "The Enchanted Pooh" scheduled for June 27th and 28th.

His opponents are Walter B. Thompson and Roy H. Smith. Office No. 7 Judge Frank C. Collier, incumbent is opposed by R. C. W. Friday. Judge Collier has the record of being a very able, judge, fair and impartial. He should be re-elected. Office No. 8- Judge Hugh J. Crawford, incumbent who has two very popular and able onponents.

Sheldon well and favorably known Municipal Judge and T. Frank Courtney. Office No. 11— Walter Guenir, incumbent, is a very fine judge and is fair and impartial, but Mrs. Oda Falconer is truly a great opponent and one for whom we predict will make a wonderful race. Mrs. Falconer is a well known attorney of Los Angeles and has a great following. The women of the county are liming up behind her and her election is predicted by many. She is a champion of real democracy and of even handed Justice. This survey was made by the meanderer from the sentiment expressed by the public contracted during the past weeks. Next week the survey will be continued. It was indeed a pleasure to visit a few minutes last week with Mr. Sarnborn, president of the City Council. The president manifested the same friendly attitude he has always held for the Eagle and assured the representative that he was deeply interested in the development and progress of his district and he wants his friends and supporters to know that he is now as he has always been a representative of the people and shall tight for their interest from every angle.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Life Story of Oda Faulconer, Candidate for Superior Court Judge From comparative poverty and no business training to financial ease and an outstanding position in the legal fraternity of Southern California. That in brief is the life story of Oda Faulconer, who is a candidate for Office No. 11 of the Los Angeles Superior Court. And this story is written over the brief period of twenty years. But like the life stories of all successful men and women it is one romance as well as struggle, privation, work and the unswerving determination to achieve. Mrs. Faulconer became a wife while still a school girl. She had not really grown up. And then three years later she was left a widow with an 11-months old daughter. She knew nothing about business. Nearly all of the young couple's savings had been eaten up in the husband's last illness. But she did not despair. She was confident that the world owes a living to everybody and that for the future she must be the captain of her own industry. She bought short hand books and between her household duties and the care of her baby daughter she began her studies. When she felt the time had arrived she had neighbors stay with the baby evenings while she went to night school. In three months time she was sufficiently competent with her short hand to secure a position in a large title company as a stenographer. During her days she devoted herself completely to her office work. Evenings when the woman who had come in to stay with the baby for the day had gone home she mended her own clothing and kept up the wardrobe of the baby. And when she had completed these duties she spent some time on her studies. Always she had in mind that she must perfect herself for bigger and better things. To do this it was necessary to budget herself on sleep even as she was budgeting herself on living expenses. Soon her diligence and application to work and her growing proficiency brought her to the attention of her employers. She was transferred to more important work in the legal department of the corporation. Not only did this mean an increase in salary but a new interest in life. The law fascinated her. She carried home legal volumes at night and fell asleep reading them. She had found her life work. Finances were still a tremendous problem. But through squeezing on her lunch money she was able to save the necessary $1 a week for a lesson in law from an attorney who made a business of coaching law students. This attorney who coached Mrs. Faulconer subsequently became an outstanding member of the profession. Speaking of this recently and of the good she had received from these lessons Mrs. Faulconer laughingly said: "Little did my instructor know that many times when I handed over that $1, I was actually hungry. And that is one of the little items indicating the character of the woman. She asked no favors from anyone and she never bored anyone with the details of her struggle to maintain herself and baby daughter and at the same time carve for themselves a bigger and better place in the world. Always it was a smiling face for the world and for her baby. Always everything was "just fine." She kept her troubles to herself and carried her worries locked in her own heart. But these things after all, although they were dogging her footsteps at all times really rarely caught up with her. She was too busy to think about them during the day and too exhausted to lie awake worrying nights. In time Mrs. Faulconer's legal coach advised her that she should enter the law classes of the University of California. This would necessitate having someone stay with the baby evenings in addition to days. She knew there was a way. She just pared the budget a little more and signed up for the evening classes of the law school. Then began another period of even longer hours and harder work. They were hard years but happy ones because at last her career had been definitely mapped out and she was on the straight road to accomplishment. She graduated with honors and shortly thereafter was promoted to be a junior attorney with the title company. With bigger responsibilities came bigger monetary returns with a corresponding lightening of household labor, a little more time for recreation and sleep. Also the possibility of realizing a long cherished dream a home. Mrs. Faulconer is essentially the pioneer type of woman. Therefore nothing but a real home would suit her and it must be one that was near to the soil. It must be a place that could grow and develop as she herself had and would during the years. No superficial structure of education or culture could ever blink her eyes. It is reported one of the managers of one of the ecanoidates for Judge is quite busy trying to suggest what sort of leadership should exist for the colored people. We would suggest that if he would just leave that part of the business up to the colored people themselves and work harder for his candidate he will get somewhere. Speaking of leadership, have no fears for no sort can prevail or stand unless it shall be the pure in heart and untainted. The people will not stand for venal or crooked persons to lead the way. This sort sometimes endeavors to set themselves in but have no fears for they will always fall by the wayside. For truly how can any person qualify for leadership and lead somebody anywhere when they themselves have failed to accomplish anything for themselves? Give us leaders! Good and true! give us leaders who can point to the stars and at the same time demonstrate the distance they have gained in reaching them. Fitts Eastside' Opening Gus Firing Club Goes Over Big on Last Friday Night's Meeting at Lafayette High It was a real sure enough enthusiastic crowd which assembled at the auditorium on East 14th street on last Friday night to hear the opening gun in the Fitts for Governor campaign conducted by the Eastside Fitts for Governor Club. The opening gun was fired by Edito J. B. Bass, who started the ball to rolling as the opening number on a very splendid and diversified program. He made a stirring address which was received with a deal of enthusiasm. He was followed by Dr. A. J. Somerville, Mrs. B. F. Prentice, Mrs. Edna Steward. Dr. Elzora Gibson, Attorney Willis O. Tyler and Attorney Ear-C. Jennings, all of whom made ringing addresses favoring the candidacy of Buron Fitts. "There is no other candidate to be thought of", thundered Attorney Tyler, who made the welking ring in espousing the cause of Fitts. man to the source of all things, the warm, brown earth itself. She cast her eyes toward the San Fernando Valley. At that time this garden spot of Southern California was mostly barren sand dunes and sage brush. Mrs. Faulkner, howeyer, is blessed with business acumen as well as a reasoning legal mind. The more she thought of this valley the more she became convinced that it was destined to a glorious future. As her salary from the title company, augmented with the income from her ever increasing private practice, grew apace so also did her investments in these sage brush sand dunes. She bulded a home and then began building her acres. Like with her law so also with her agriculture and citrus growing. She went back to her night school. As her knowledge in agriculture and citrus grew she purchased stripling orange and walnut trees. Saturday afternoons and Sundays she planted them with her own hands. Recently the writer visited Mrs. Faulconer's ranch which to-gay is considered one of the show places of the San Fernando Valley. FITTS FOR GOVERN- OR MASS MEETING The Fitts for Governor Club will hold a Mass Meeting Sunday, June 29th at 3:00 P. M. at the Seventh Day Adventist Church 36th Place West of Normandie. The public is invited good program. MARY MAY CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS 705 Washington Building 3111/2 South Spring Street Telephone TUcker 3011 Mr. and Mrs. Beverly, of the Community Art Center, furnished two very splendid numbers from pupils which was a special feature of the meeting. Prof. Eugene Page furnished a special song which he wrote on Buron Fitts, and which was sung by Mrs. Warren. Mrs. C. A. Bass presided and forcefully presented her case. The officers of the club are C. A. Bass, President, Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, Vice.; Mrs. Beatrice Johnson, Seeretary; Elijah Cooper, Treasurer. The rumor that a number of people, consisting of all parties and even factions, also white and colored are grooming District Leon Whitaker to throw his hat into the ring for a Municipal court judgement is growing in volume. If not, why not, it just as well be "Judge Whitaker" for he is every whit as qualified as many another young judge, legislator or executive throughout these United States and even though the race will not come off for nearly a year, it is by no means too early to begin the foundation for a serious consideration of coming events. Division Commanders; as we now look down the line we find safely entrusted among the various heads of divisions who will attempt to direct activities to gain votes from our group for their respective candidates for governor such characters as Dr. H. C. Hudson for Governor Young; C. H. Alston for Mayor Robph and Mrs. C. A. Bass for District Attorney Buron Fitts, Dr. Hudson has made quite an enviable record as the head of N. A. A. C. P. and is one of the leaders in his profession as a dentist recognized as a good business man and a friend to man. The Pot Pie writer numbers him among his best friends and of course can but look as others as to his success in a new field of endeavor which to be plain is politics. Dennis Hope noter humorist said on the occasion of his entry into journalism thirty-five years ago, that the newspaper business had received a mighty good plow hand. We judge not as to the truth of his shaft of humor but we do hope, politics will not ruin the future of a mighty good civic and militant leader for human rights. C. H. Alston, the fiery petrel, when you speak of politics is to the manor born with Alston. He is an old war horse, a veteran in the political arena, has led delegations to several National Conventions, is a dynamic speaker-hale, hearty and well met and we consider the Rolph forces could not have selected a better man to head this particular division. Mrs. C. A. Bass our chiefman, modestly forbids us to mention her qualifications. She is, however, so well known not only in California but throughout the country that we can but submit that she will carry on the Fitts campaign in her particular division with the same energy and confidence that she has ever given to any other proposition which she has attempted to direct. Joss for Assessor is the recipient of a good word all along the line and his friends aver that he will come under the wire and quality on the ticket for this job. Judge Carlos Hardy has lost no ground and maintains a strong lead to succeed himself. So reports the committee, which is conducting his campaign for re-election indicate. The Clearing House is sunk. The president. C. H. Alston, using the perogative of his office resolved it into a 'Ralph headquarters and the gang quit him could. Pop. Sanders, on hearing of the closing of the Clearing House at 28th and Central established, another one in the patio of the city hall with Jim Alexander as Vice-President. The order of all oays is to wash and iron any and everybody. ELECT IDA MAY ADAMS Candidate for JUDGE Of The Superior Court (OFFICE No. 1) STANDS FOR The natural and equitable rights of the people regardless of race or color. ON THE SIDEWALK Continued From Page One lynching passing over the country at this time, and every Negro organization, fraternal, religious and political should besege the present administration with letters, telegrams and resolutions condemning acts of lynching and mob violence in every state where such is the practice. We are inclined to believe that in the matter of lynching, Negroes have been too patient especially in the case where the Republican party is in power. This party whose banner the Negroes have upheld for the past sixty-seven years should have brought to their attention at this time the fact that we are sorely and grievously disappointed with the trend of affairs at the National Capital. Both Democratic and Republican parties tell the Negroes of the United States to beware of the Communist Party and even some of our Negro leaders tell us to shun clear of Communist propaganda, and yet the Communists or working party as it is sometimes called, is the only political party of this day and time that has ventured to lift its voice against the crime of lynching. PORTO RICANS STARVING IN NEW YORK IT IS REPORTED that 150,000 Porto Ricans who have paid $40 a piece to shipping companies for passage to New York City are starving to death in the great metropolis. LORENZO JORDAN GRADUATES AMONG THE PERSONS who re- ceived certificates from the Institute of Musical Art of the Julliard School of Music last Monday night at Carnegie Hall were Novglla E. McCrorey. Vestilla A. Lassiter, Carl R. Diton Arnetta F. Jones and our own Lorenzo Jordan Cole. Mrs. Cole who is a daughter of the golden West, for a number of years while in Los Angeles, her home city attracted the attention of the people and claimed the admiration of those tist convention of Aerica and Dr. S. who knew her and knew of her musical art which she contended even at an early age was to be her life's work. In order that her friends in this city may know just what progress little Lorenzo, the girl with the sweet smile and fascinating personality aside from her outstanding musical ability made in the great metropolis, we are taking the liberty to publish here a personal letter with apologies to Mrs. Cole. "My dear Mrs. Bass: I have been thinking of you for some time. I have ceased to regret missing you when you called me before leaving. I was so anxious to talk to you and tell you all about my sleet, and what I was doing. I have been working very hard ever since and am about to imprint to you the good news that I have graduated from the Institute of Musical Art of the Juilliard School of Music. The next good news that I want to impart to you is, that I am staying here this summer studying. Miss Ovington has given me her apartment this summer. I have a girl friend staying with me, a student of Columbia, and we have lovely times. "I am going to Europe this fall. Isn't that thrilling? I am to study with Tobias Matthady one of the greatest teachers of all times. I shall be giving a number of concerts before going. Am trying to get the entire north-east." "Will you attend the N. A.

SHELDON To Superior Court Los Angeles County Office No. 10 Primaries August 26th 1930 --- Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION ALL HANDS TO WAR— In these perilous times augmented by the near approach of a terrific battle in the political arena, let us not lose track of the fact that, "God helps only those who help themselves." In this situation we call particular attention to our economic status and the duty we owe ourselves to improve it. Take this immediate community where members of our group spend nigh unto 50 million dollars annually for the necessities of life, such as food, shelter, clothing, etc. What are we doing to build up business concerns of our own and if not that what are we doing to make places for our group in industries where these millions are spent? If the answer is NOTHING; then we must of necessity be about our father's business and get busy and do the things which will bring the above thought to pass. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU CAN'T WORK- The fact of the matter is we must even at a sacrifice cease spending our money in business places where we cannot work. This is the alpha and omega of the whole situation. It is fair, just and the rightful thing to do. THE GOLDEN STATE INSURANCE COMPANY Is a worthy example. The people saw the light of day less than one-half dozen years ago, when the life insurance companies would gladly, take all the premiums they could get, but would not employ one of our group in any capacity. Along came the intrepid sons of toil and faith in race progress, they organized the above company, they began knocking at your doors on Monday morning and are fast replacing the big insurance companies and are employing scores upon scores of workers at a living wage. Just as with the Golden State so can we succeed along all the various lines of effort, if we but take notice of the slogan, "DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU CAN'T WORK." DOING THEIR "BIT" FOR PROGRESS— We have oftimes noticed that when members of the group were successful in procuring positions in the government, national, state, county or city that they ceased to function or be of any particular benefit to the progress of the race. We could name quite a few who have proceeded to go into seclusion insofar as any activities, along civic or business lines were concerned when they had feathered their own nest. We are however pleased to note one or two exceptions to this order of things, noticeably among such has been the activity of J. C. Banks of the U. S. Revenue Department who has labored night and day and never refuses to answer roll call on any proposition for the elevation and progress of our group. He served in many capacities in civic work as well as a strong supporter of all efforts of the group along business lines. Then we have a practical demonstration in the service of L. G. Robinson, chief janitor of the County Buildings. While he has a record second to none in the position which he hills, he has ever been a staunch worker, in church, fraternal, civic and the business life of the community. His wonderful service in promoting business enterprise for the group is outstanding, for in the short period of just a few years, he picked up and salvaged a sinking race concern, organized a company and presented to the group one of the most highly creditable business concerns of which this city can boast. For this feat the group owes to Mr. Robinson a debt of gratitude which it can never repay. These accomplishments are to be commended and but lights the way for others to fall in line. For truly when in public position, a duty is to keep right on doing the things which will raise us up to the heights in the battle of economics HAVE ANOTHER EAR— The season for corn on the cob is here, and has never a single poet lifted his voice in praise of this delicacy? What could he not make of, Those vaporous rows of aureate pearls Glowing beneath the golden tide of butter, keen with salt, Surely some other literature than that of breakfast-food could wax rapturous over the sweet-heart of the corn, that marvellous, dewey whiteness, honey sweet, which at last yields itself up to strong, questing teeth. Sacred literature bears witness to the seduction of corn. When the timid Iscalites cowering in the desert fastnesses of Sinai learned Canaan was "a land of corn and wine" they experienced a sudden change of heart and burst across the Jordan. Their depredations among the corn fields and wine jars of the Hittites. Hivites and Jubusites are reported to have been something scandalous. They knew what was good, did those hairy patriarchs. But whoever undertakes to tell the world of the joys of green corn must leave a certain incompleteness in his description of the table scene. To those who limit themselves to six or eight ears at a sitting, there is something almost disgusting about those who do not desist till they have "eaten their length in corn." Their barbaric cries of pleasure, her gnashing, rendering onslaught and the drip of warm oil from their elbows are quite too suggestive of scenes in the cannibal islands. But what if shameless barbarism does once a year surround our pclite tables? Life is short and false teeth overtake the strongest... So butter your ears and be merry, for Golden Bantam does not grow in the field of Elysium. TRADE BUILDS CITIES That community profits most that keeps the largest percentage of its trade at home. By the same token, the citizen who buys away from home is helping some other community, instead of his own, to grow. Business is the lifeblood of the community. A city or town can grow no faster than its business grows. And the retail trade is a vital part of this business. Many patrons of mail order houses and out-of-town stores do not realize the extent they injure their own com: If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened munity and themselves by diverting their trade from home town merchants. They do not realize that they lose far more than the few cents they may save in the immediate transaction. Industries bring money to a community, but the community benefits only when that money is spent at home. It gets no benefit from money if it passes directly from the pay envelope to the mail order house, the degree it does benefit being in direct ratio to the length of itime it remains in local circulation. The well-meaning housewife reasons with herself that Los Angeles merchants will not miss the few cents accompanying the mail order or small purchase in the nearby city. She is at fault only in that she does not reason far enough. Those few cents would remain at home and that small purchase would be made in a local store if she multiplied them by the number of housewiver in the community. tion the Negro women who have achieved somthing will turn to Clara B.

DANGER IN TIRES It has been pretty definitely established that the rear right tire is the first to wear out, the rear left next, the front right next and the front left last of all. As a result, practice has become almost general to shift the worn out rear tires to the front wheels with the idea of evening up the wear. This, however, is dangerous. When a worn tire blows out on a rear wheel, while the car is traveling at a high rate of speed, the driver still has enough control of the front wheels to guide the car safely out of a dangerous skid. When, however, a front tire lets go, and the car is moving fast, there is almost nothing the driver can do... The steering is thrown out of his control, the car is forced into a serious skid and there is great possibility of injuries to all in the car. Rather leave a worn out tire on a rear wheel, even though it will wear down so much faster, than risk the dangers that go with changing it to the front. For greater safety, however, a tire that shows the first mark of a tread worn down to the fabric should be taken off and used only as a spare. Even as a spare, it should be in use only long enough to get a good replacement. If the fiction characters cuss, it's a high-brow magazine. There are just two philosophies of life: Do unto others and do others. One reason why success goes to the head is because nature doesn't like a vacuum. Golfers and woodpeckers are the only birds using their heads to get into the hole. Man works hard to establish a credit and then frequently finds it too good for his good. About the only place where a conservative is handicapped is at the necktie counter. Keeping shoes shined is expensive, but at least you needn't check them when you go in to lunch. COMMENTS W. J. WHEATON The colleges, universities and other seats of learning have poured out the usual stream of graduates. The university whose graduating class is less than 1000 is not mentioned in the class of the "great." How many of the thousands really needed the four extra years from their graduation at the high school? Two thirds of them will enter occupations of such nature that the extra four years of the university could well have been spent in gaining practical experience. For in the long run it will take about 10 or 15 years of buffeting with practical experience to knock off the self conceit of the average graduate before he or she can be appraised as useful citizens. The higher education is all right for those who expect to enter on a professional career. Latin and Greek are of no earthly use to the man or woman who enters the trades or marts of finance and industry. If the universities and colleges would be reserved for those who planned to devote their lives to the sciences and research, or have studied to form a basis for further scholarly achievements; it would prove of great service. Today study is subordinated to social activities and popularity in the class room is not based on scholarly attainment but on the basis of social activities. If one is going to be a thorough mechanic the high school basis is sufficient for all of his needs. The four years on the college campus is four years of wasted time. Of what good is the dead language to the man who intends to invent. Many Negro youths are among those who have received their certificates of scholarship. The professions, for them are overcrowded. Many believe the trades beneath their consideration. What is in store for them? * * * * * * them! Mrs. Clara B. Franklin, Kansas City, Mo., is visiting with Mrs. Jennie Giles at 143 19th Ave. San Francisco, Calif. That might be the notice appear in any social columns. That would suffice if it was for the average visitor, but Mrs. Franklin's accomplishments, and achievements call for more than passing notice. Mrs. Clara B. Franklin is the widow of the late George Franklin, publisher and founder of the Omaha Enterprise and the Denver Statesman. Ill health fell to the portion, of George Franklin and the greater part of the work devolved on his mate. She became editor, typo., reporter, circulating manager and collecting agent. Nothing daunted her. No difference what might be the obstacle she tackled it with the indomitable spirit which she has handed down to her son. Chester A. Franklin publisher of the Kansas City Call was brought up in the atmosphere of printer's ink. He was but a youth when, through the death of his father, George Franklin, he was compelled to quit school to take his place beside his mother at the type case. Together they planned, together they achieved. It is a far stretch from carrying the stock of paper under one's arm to get out the week's issue, which was run off by the foot press, to buying your stock of paper by the carload and seeing the paper run off on a $40,000 press. The laborious work of the typesetter has been replaced by three of the latest model linotype machines. A two color press photograves the special supplement and the paper complete, reaches the far places of the world. Instead of wondering how the expense for the "daily bread" would be met, there is a payroll of hundreds of dollars weekly, distributed to the force of Race men and women in the employ of the "Call." The little one story shack has given way to the modern three story building. It buzzes, and hums with the activity of the news plant. It is wonderful. Inspiring! To note progress made, and difficulties overcome, under the most adverse circumstances, gives us a renewed hope that such an example will not fail to have a beneficial effect on the Negro youth of today. When ever we are to men tion the Negro women who have achieved something of worth, our mind will turn to Clara B. Franklin, the woman whose energy, determination and grit has done so much to build a going business. And while we give every credit to Chester A. Franklin for the self abnegation displayed. It is but due to him to say, that he, profiting by the advice of experience, has been able to carry on the work. It is hoped that the stay of Mrs. Franklin will be pleasant while in California. At the annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in session at the William Taylor Memorial Church, San Francisco, the Rev. H. T. S. Johnson, of the Taylor Memorial Church, Oakland offered the following resolutions: "The proposal of the War Department to segregate Negro Gold Star Mothers is the most silly, unfair, and unnecessary exhibition of race prejudice emanating from federal sources in the country's history." The wording of the resolution proved a bit too vigorous for some of the brethren and there was strenuous objections made by the Reverends. Matthews of Berkeley, I. B. Bristol of Sacramento and G. A. Werner. After a conference the word "silly" was struck out and other portions toned down so that the following, read in part, was adopted "Such conduct on the part of the United States will be interpreted as an illustration of indorsement of the idea of Nordic superiority and therefore make harder the work of missionaries in other countries. Be it resolved that the California conference go on record as opposed to nullifying the glory due our beloved country, and request Bishop Charles Burns to inform President Hoover of this action, and respectively but positively insist that he prevent this carrying out of the insult to a race notable during the war for its loyalty and courage." The Conference is of the M. E. connection, white. Rev. Johnson is of the same connection. Negro. The resolution as rephased by the committee, which was composed of the objectors, sounds more dignified and in keeping with the matter at hand. Harsh words carry no meaning. Strong words are convincing. April 16th, or there about, the body of E. D. Pierson, auditor of the National Baptist Association was fished from the Muscatatat Creek near Scottsburg, Ind. Evidently he had been murdered. It was reported that the auditor knew pertinent facts concerning the juggling of a $62,000 fund of the Association and that he had "put on the spot." The alleged confession of George Washington, Negro gunman that he had been hired for the sum of three thousand dollars to commit the murder, has involved in the mesh two, other very prominent in the affairs of the Negro Baptist Association. B. J. Westbrook, pastor of a church in Indianapolis, Ind., and A. M. Townsend, the secretary of the Baptist Sunday School Publishing Board, and auditor the Nashville, Tenn., Negro Bank, have been arrested as the chief conspirators in ordering the death of Pierson. It is alleged that Westbrook gave the slayer, Washington, a letter of introduction to the victim. It is said that Townsend would have been ruined by the exposure of the financial muddle and plotted the killing to cover it up. Two thirds of the persons who live off RELIGION and FRATERNALISM are hypocrites at heart. Falsehood and theft have been uncovered in the past. The mantle of insincerity has been torn aside, revealing sulphurous innerparts. This is the first time, that we can recall, that murder has been resorted to that the iniquities of the transgressor might be covered up. We repeat with emphasis that the Minister of today, who would lead his flock aright, should stick to the task of saving souls. LET THE SHOEMAKER STICK TO HIS LAST! A number of the American clergy write Priemier. Ramsay McDonald, protesting the British attitude in India, where the Mahatma Ghandi is leading a passive revolt against British rule. Naturally, the British have not taken the, unwarranted, interference with the best of grace. The London Times, great British daily, has made a very timely retort by telling the meddlers that at least, their methods of treating the rebels savor more of the methods of civilization than those exhibited by the Texas mob who burned a Negro and threatened to kill others who were in no way implicated in the charged crime. The English do not do such things in India. It would be a very good suggestion to the meddling preachers to make some effort to better the conditions here in the United States. Crime rampant, nullification of Law, flouting of constituted authority, and disregard of all things religious, are sufficient reasons for a request that they concentrate their efforts for human betterment HERE. The inability to deal successfully with home problems are mainly, the reasons for calling attention to the "mote". While the "beam" blinds us to our own defects. Down in South Carolina a Negro man was shot to death by a mol of white men. Two women, walking together, said that they had been attacked b y the man. Does not that seem to be one of the most ridiculous assertions. Think of it: One man trying to attack two women who were walking in companionship, and in the heart of the town. That is as bad as the mobbing of that vouth in Oklahoma who rang the bell and aske for something to eat. He did not run when the woman screamed, but stood his ground. Acrow soon collected and he was in the act of being killed when some one in the crowd thought that something was wrong with the story and stopped the crowd from doing further harm to the boy. The woman acknowledged that the youth did not molest her, but that she was frightened at the sight of a "nigger" and screamed. That boy was given just thirty minutes to leave that "Burg." Did he go! "And how!" We have been listening and looking for some word from the President to at least "deplore" the violent acts of the mob. Listened, but in vain. With the courting of political preference down in "Dixie" through appointments and encouragement of "Lily whites" in bolstering up the Republican party? Mr. President has had no time to consider the moral affect of the lyncher on the nation. There are people in the South who, through lack of intelligence, would construe the silence of the President as a tacit confirmation of the Justice of their acts. Two things we hope to have the President do in the near future. First: Speak out against the criminal acts of the mob. Second: As chief in command of the Army and Navy, have rescinded the segregation order affecting the Negro Gold Star Mothers in the pilgrimage to the battle fields in France where lie their soldier dead. * * * * * * * We suppose that the boys are acting under the old adage "give the calf sufficient roone and it will hang itself." Very few if any of the boys will visit Detroit this year. Many are so disgusted with the trend of affairs that they are losing interest in the annual gatherings of the I. B. P. O. E. W. They can't see where they are getting any benefit from the money expended. Many are tired of paying exorbitant salaries to men who are not giving any results. You can't fool all of the people all o fthe time," said a wise American character. Some of the sincere, earnest members of the Order grown tired of the Czaristic reign of the present, counsel a passive resistance. As one put it, a Ghandi, against the arbitrary rule of the present regime. We counsel that it is wise to stay in the ranks. Fight from within: Bore out. The grand order that was dedicated to the uplift of humanity, born that justice and right might prevail, nurtured that fraternity might blossom into maturity, mut not be prostituted. Self-aggrandizment and party politics should find no place in the ranks of a fraternal organization. Men who subordinate the principles, which underline, and upon which is founded the structure, fraternalism, who through the grasp after pelf violate the obligation taken by them, have no call to leadership. Editor, California Eagle: In an editorial appearing in a local weekly, May 22, 1930, entitled "Economic Independence and Jobs," the editor portrays the usual ignorance培养ergro economies that all writers to write upon progressive moves of which they know little. In this editorial no specific meeting is mentioned, but the editor leaves no doubt in the minds of his readers that he referred to the educational meeting held at Second Baptist Church, Sunday, March 30, 1930, by the Women's Industrial Council. The editorial begins with sarcastic remarks about parades and speeches, and further remarked "that the whole show would end in a farcal manner." Apparently the editor is accustomed to chronicling events concerning the efforts of Negroes which call for immediate results or none at all. Where a group of people band themselves together for the purpose of promoting a program of education which will take years to obtain the desires results, evidently is looking too far ahead for the editor of this particular weekly. News. In the past the extent of the Negro's thought and activity concerning the economic needs of the race has been to the extent that we could beg ourselves into existing industries and the hearts of white philanthropy. From the tone of the editorial in question this worn out and short-sighted method is still the program of this paper. Our women are awakening to the fact that they cannot care for their homes, bear and care for children and, at the same time work as scrub women and other menials to help their husbands support the family. The fact is friend husband is not making as much as he used to, thanks to labor saving devices and erroneous advice of Negro leadership. Now that our women have launched an educational movement for the purpose of arousing this editor and the race at large from their; economic lethargy and inference to a realization of the value and power of their consumption, the editor emerges from an "I told you so" dorner with sardonic questions about results. The editorial further points out, "that there was no real understanding of the Negro's economic problems manifested in the movement." Of course, the editor was not present at the meeting or he should have seen that a complete understanding of the economic and social problems of the Negro was very much in evidence. Continuing the editorial makes the statement "that the real economic problem which faces the colored man of the West is the disposal of his wages at the factory terms." A statement like the move from our leadership could evoke a hearty laugh if it were not likely seriously mislead its readers. With labor having devices and mergers throwing white men out of employment, thereby emging the whites to force Negroes out of work, it should be evident to all that the economic problem of the Negro is not so much to dispose of his wages at satisfactory terms or any other terms, as it is to procure employment to EARN wages. The editorial says further, "Angelonos must bend their efforts to remedying those deplorable conditions which deny them their fair share of the labor of this community." We might ask the question "What is their fair share of the labor of this community?" There is only one way for the Negroes of the West or any other section of America to get their fair chance of the labor of the community and that is to take co-operative steps to control that which they consume. A program of consumption control will lead to productive and marketing control and these activities will automatically CREATE the fair share of employment mentioned by the editorial in question. Any other program is a makeshift and will serve only to delay the beginning of economic and social emancipation of the Negro. The Women's Industrial Council understands this and the editor of this Weekly might take a day off from his destructive criticism of movements of which he knows very little, listen to the women folks and learn something from them coercing the economic condition of the race and the remedy, then use the columns of his paper to back up their constructive activities. DETECTIVE RETURNS WITH NOTORIOUS CROOK Completing one of the most important captures in recent years, Lieutenant Littleton McDuff, returned Wednesday morning past, with Albert B. Canon, 35 from Murietta, Ga., where he had been apprehended. Canon is an ex-convict having done this in state and a year at Atlanta Georgia. A long record of various crimes has marked his checkered career, principal among which is that of a Bunco artist. Two years ago, Green and McDuff started out to clear a series of robberies perpetrated by two of the cleverest crooks in police annals. A few months ago, the first of these Val Weaver, was brought back from Detroit by Mr. Green. He was convicted of robbery and is now serving time. The other is Cannon who was arrested by Mr. McDuff. This is but one of the many cases being cleared up by these two officers, two of the best operating out of the Newton District; They are determined and relentless in their quest for law breakers. Their motto being: "That of the Northwest Mounted Police, 'Get your man!'" ```markdown ``` Back on This Issue in order to demonstrate that like Andy Gump this column wears it own hat. This is the same sombero that you have seen for past four years. All of Which Means that following the Soaring Eagle's policy, this "Upper-Cutter" is not under obligation to or dictated to by anyone. We tell the news as is, privileged by the freedom of the press, but always within the bounds of veracity. Meanwhile we attack wrongs and evils of the world of Sports sparing not even our best friends if they deserve it. As the old English couplet runs, "If the shoe would fit. Pray wear it a bit. If not you can leave it being." For instance. "Hello this is Harry Johnson managers of Billy Evans" came a loud angry voice over my phone early one morning two years ago "Comin' to git you, so when you see me you can start shooting" continued the raucous voice "All right Mr. Johnson, you know the address don't you, sleepily but courteously" I replied. Johnson was hot in the collar because without mentioning any names this column had dared to mildly criticize, so called managers who take boys far from home, and then mis-manage them. "He came all right but proved to be a harmless as the ilk usually is when the intended victim fails to run. So he eventually realized his mistake and admitted it. Also former friends of his realized they had been mistaken in him. The same incident has been repeated several times, usually because some grouch who perhaps never reads his Race Papers, happens to hear he has been taken to task for something of which he is guilty. In course of time we have scolded Jack Dempsey, Harry Wills, Baby Gans, Walk Miller, Jack Johnson, and other real ring men, but they did not rear up on their hind legs and paw the air, about criticism given without malice atorethought and in a spirit of friendship. In the Ancient Days they used to shoot columnists in the back or challenge them to duels. Now in this Zeppelin and radio age the only accommodation "Yours Truly" can offer is to suggest meeting an offended party in a six round special event on fight night the purse to go to charity. Sports Editor vs. Reader! Any club would stage a match like that. One or the other would get licked, and a good time would be had by all. That's that now lets talk about something else. The Olympic should have been packed Tuesday, June 17. The usual number of white fans that come for ordinary bouts were there but there should have been more out to see a real champion. Of colored fans there should have been at least 8000 to fill those vacant seats. Of course the weakness of the opposition probably helped cut down the attendance. All are enthusiastic over the new welter king. When boxing was in the balance here Jack, sent a wire just before election arguing Negro voters to vote to keep boxing in. Some of those who talked loud against it should be ashamed now. It as a wonder many who are entertained by or dine with him do not choke on the food realizing what traitors there are and what boxing does for the race. We promised to publish a list of those who voted "Yes" on Amendment Five, and it is not too late yet. Sports Writers and Sports Editors of the Dailies here are some of the finest broad-minded gentlemen in the Jack Russel who was nick-named by his friends, "The Silver Fox" proved that he was not only foxy but patient when he held on to Johnny Lamar against the advices of many. Undiscouraged by the evident slump the veteran Mexican had taken; he stuck to him, bringing him along carefully in his quiet way until he after over a year. he became the big shot of Hollywood Legion Club. His greatest test, there was last week against the hard hitting youngster Teddy Palacios who knocked Johnny down in the first and held a lead for five rounds. Lamar's victory culminated one of the fastest battles witnessed at the Legion stadium, or any other local club in many a day. Three nine-count knockdowns in the last three rounds made the decision a simple one to render, but it was anybody's party going into the eighth round. Lamar had been promised a bout at the Olympic as his next appearance in case he won and Matchmaker Wad Wadhams was put out at first to find a suitable opponent fo rhim. Just then Goldie Hess returned home and here was the game hard socker needed to try Lamar's mettle. The bout was declared a natural and set for next Tuesday night. July 1st. Manager Harvey Petit took Goldie Hess and Sammy Jackson East to invade the rings there. The trip was a failure and they lost money. Petit refused to consider a Lamar bout here two or three months ago. Goldie—strictly a club fighter—made $25,000 in purses boxing a dozen main events at the Olympic in a year. Hess didn't always win, but got a lot of work because he put up entertaining matches. Failing to get Canzoneri Mandell, Berg and other big shots they cane on back home, where he can always fight. Goldie has had a long rest but has kept in splendid shape and now that Lamar is the recognized Coast lightweight champion Goldie claims he came just in time to relieve him of the title. The bout promises to be a scorcher as will also be the excellent supporting card. "CHALKY" WRIGHT BATTLES AT PASADENA "Chalky" Wright, Morrie Cohan's newest colored star is rapidly fighting his way unto main event ranks he is ust one step off now and by the time this is read he may be next week's head liner.

It is the World's champion Negro Baseball Team and are now making more history in the pennant race. This powerful aggression is playing night baseball at the mid-west's finest base ballpark. Muelbach Field. Several hundred fans who were turned away from Morrie Cohan's Pasadena Arena last Thursday night are kicking themselves for not getting out sooner to see the most sensational battle of the season when Mack House three time loser, got revenge on Neil Clisby. To merely win would have made it the biggest upset of the twelve months but to knock the clever shifty hard hitting Clisby out in 2-round and a half left the fans standing wide-eyed, and almost unbelieving. While it lasted it was filled with thrills. Keyed to desperation by the unusual comment on their fourth meeting after House losing three times by 1 and 2 round knockouts both fighters leapt at each other like panthers at the first bell. Clisby was confident and did not begin his foot work and shifty tactics. House made him miss that first deadly right shot and countered with a hard left that shook up the "California Thunder Bolt" and surprised him also. Gaining more confidence, Mack piloted into Cisby with lefts and rights the two heavyweights standing toe to toe. Mack dropped Cisby with a hard left and that was the beginning of the end. Cisby missed several hard rights but in then second managed to land several but not with his usual power. The end came in the third round. Neil suffered a cut lip and eye and had to be helped from the ring. Local fans feel that he took House too lightly and are clamoring for still another rematch. The whole card was a heavyweight one and sensational throughout. Other results: Jack Hurd stopped Jack Haywood, first round; Hugh Shorpshire, decision over Tony Randolph Del Price knocked out Herman Hayes, second round Frank Rudinskie stopped, Otis Curry, second round, and Bill Cooley knocked out George Simpson, first round.

Minstrel Marathon In Third Week, $1,000 To The Winner In what is undoubtedly the most exacting as well as the most unique of the many dance marathons that have been staged in this country, eight couples are entering the third week of dancing singing and entertaining in a huge tent at Maywood, the southeast suburb. It is called a minstrel Marathon because instead of the steady, monotonous, dragging, round and round the floor to the music, a wonderful revue of brownskin steppers headed by Charlie Grant puts over a veritable Nite Club floor show in the rest periods, also nearly everyone of the contestants sing, dance play, or do some novelty act until the large orchestra plays the next ball-room number. Even then instead of just the regular fox trot or two step routine they all be good dancers introduce intricate strenuous, and fantastic steps such as HORACE HAMPTON BILL EDWARDDS Carlo Curtis the "Kid Promoter of Main Street 'House of Action'", and gymnasium has a fastidious clientele to catre to, one that likes their fights to end suddenly and all go home early. For this reason the hustling Carlo is never quite satisfied unless he has a sensational K. O. king he can feature week after week until he himself gets knocked out or the bigger clubs-grab him. Bert Colima, Baby Gans, Young Jack Thompson, Peregrina and others filled this position at times and as a rule there was always a new one ready when the old one left. Recently since his latest one round "killer" Sandy Casanova started, a vacation he has been short of a similar sensation though all his main events are good ones. He is still looking for one and his quest may end this Saturday when a demon Mexican and a demon Japanese meet a colored star and an American flash in international war. Pete Pacheco, Denver Mexican welterweight, will battle Howard Fritz and Kano Nakamura, Japanese featherweight, will take on Harry Grey in the double main event of two six round bouts at Main street Saturday night. Polo Mendoza and Tony Archer, 118-pounders, will box the four-round special. would grace any stage. GRANTS REVUE A RIOT The idea of a minstrel marathon was conceived by its promoters, because of the fact that all of the dance endurance contests staged here, there has never been one staged for colored contestants. So, because of the versatility of the average Negro and his ability to entertain, the entrants were privileged to display whatever talents they possess between the dances. It has frequently been wondered how the stamina of Negroes in these trials compared with that of the whites so as this runs on the balance seems swinging in favor of the colored boys and girls because of their additional and strenuous evolutions. A $1000 prize was held out to the couple who lasts the longest and to date each couple is determined to be the winner. The great circus tent which seats several thousand, is packed from time to time during the twenty-four hours with both white and colored spectators from near and distant points, Masters of Ceremonies, male and female nurses doctors, and attendants working in day and night shifts are constantly on hand. They closely watch the entrants as to every need during the rest period. The mode of procedure is to dance 45 minutes then retire to the bed room at the rear and sleep 15 minutes. At the blowing of a loud siren they rise and start again. The stage is equipped with microphones and loud speakers so the announcements and music can be well heard. Claude Collins well known singer is master of ceremonies on one shift, and Happy Lasses Brown well known comedian intersperses his announcements with funny sayings and wise-cracks on another. The cream of the entertainment is Charlie Grants revere although other entertainers drop in and present numbers from time to time. Charlie is showing that he is as good at heading a company as he is in the famous team of Grant and Hall. The girls well matched and well formed keep up a constant whirl and tattoo of latest tap dancing that makes the crowd roar with applause. The eight couples still in the Minstrel Marathon and still going strong are: No. 3—Gratun Fair and Dot West. No. 5—"Smiles" Woods and Dot Williams. No. 17—Mandier Giles and Rose Bolden. No. 8—Bill Thomas and Mildred Harris. No. 9—Joe Nelson and Billie Davis. No. 14—Chas Thomas and Flo Dent. No. 16—Bob Newton and Mildred McLaughlin. No. 13—Ramona and Harold Smith.
