Young and Rolph TrailFitts VOLUME 43 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored—Proverbs 13:18. LIKE VALIANT soldiers who fight because they believe they are right, members of the Eastside Fitts for Governor Club are on their last stretch. The home base is in sight and this small group of individuals who formed the nucleus of this organization believe as firmly to day as they did in the beginning, that they are right; and that not might, but right will win. The Club has held political meetings all over the Eastside. These meetings have been conducted on a high plane. It has not presumed to know anything about the personal habits or social discrepancies of either of the candidates running for governor, hence it has not attempted character assassination but instead has tried in every honorable way to present the case of its candidate to the public in such fashion as to prove that he is the Abraham Lincoln of his day and time, and that his election to the high office of governor will save the California Ship of State from a terrific smash on the financial rock of disaster towards which it is apparently headed. A small body of the Eastside Fitts for Governor Club moved into Bakersfield last Monday evening and claimed a large strip of political territory for its candidate. On Wednesday evening the call came from San Bernardino asking the club to come over into Macedonia and help save the city for decency. The call was heard and a little caravan moved into San Bernardino and the little warm burg with Hamilton and Mabra at the bat will roll up a big majority vote on Tuesday, August 26 for BURON FITTS. WHY THEY SUPPORT YOUNG THE FEW outstanding leaders of our group who by some stretch of the imagination deem the present incumbent, Governor C. C. Young, the logical man to carry on at the head of our great State, are furnishing many and devious reasons for their selection. Some say that their only reason for deciding on the Governor instead of Buron Fitts, who is the one man in the public limelight in state politics who has shown a disposition to deal justly toward the Negro, is because they claim, a certain white individual was thrust upon them as their leader and they just couldn't follow, hence had to take Mr. Young whether or not! Now to our mind this argument is nothing more nor less than an admission of their mental slavery. In order to support Mr. Young for governor, it was necessary for them to swallow Marshall Stimson, who is avowedly a Negro hater and his boon companion, Joseph Oberwise, chairman of the Young for Governor campaign of the Fifth District, who is none other than the individual who issued the injunction papers against the five families, namely: Reeves, Howard.Bass, Smith and Taylor, attempting to oust them from their homes in the West section of our city because they think that the location is too beautiful and high-class for Negroes. Consistency thou art a jewel! AMERICAN LEGION MAKES HISTORY ONE OF THE finest pieces of work that has been accomplished in the State of California was done this week at Sacramento at the American Legion annual convention when a resolution drafted by none other than our own Officer Coleman, who majestically presides over traffic at Ninth and Central, was offered and adopted condemning lynching and mob violence. The way we see it, it looks like the spirit of Buron Fitts is already guiding the Ship of State in California. VOTE FOR MRS. BRAMLETTE MRS. FANNY E. BRAMLETTE is a candidate for the County Central Committee of the 62nd District, and it is hoped that every woman will come forward and express their appreciation of the fact that this is woman's day by casting a vote for her August 26th. SOVIET UNION FROWNS ON RACE PREJUDICE A WIRELESS dispatch to the New York Times tells how the Soviet Union frowns on inequality and race prejudice, as presented in a Russian newspaper under the heading: We Will not allow the Ways of Bourgeois (Continued On Page Four) TO THE NEGRO VOTERS OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA GREETINGS After eighteen years of "glad handling" in the beautiful city by the Golden Gate, San Francisco; where he has been supposedly serving the people of the city as Mayor of all the people, now comes Mayor James Rolph with a burning desire to be, so he says, Governor of all the people of the state of California, there we are in this our number Two Bulletin pointing out to you just what it means to you if you are going to be a party to elevating one who has outlived his usefulness as Mayor of this city and now seeks to foist his political machine on the people of this state. Notwithstanding the fact that the Mayor has under his control all departments of the city government, which includes his Civil Service Commission, which commission is and has been continuously in the courts because of alleged infractions, and violations of the charter, it is a well known fact that studiously as possible, the Negro citizens have been completely ignored, this in face of the fact that the honorable mayor has repeatedly said he desired to give all groups some part in the affairs of the city. This is further demonstrated with the knowledge that during these 18 years by reason of vacancies occurring on the Board of Supervisors, the mayor has had the appointing of not less than ten members to fill such vacancies and in making these appointments the mayor has seen fit to give what he called recognition to certain groups, consequently every nationality has been thus honored except the Negro. This holds true also as to the Mayor's other selections for other more or less important places in the city government. IF NOT FITTS ---WHO? Last call the big Berthas have been turned loose, for results we must wait until the votes are counted. However, it is apparent Governor Young is on the run. It being generally conceded on all hands that he is the 3rd man in the race. The race is between Fitts and Rolph with Buron having the edge. This is not just talk neither is it-guess work. It comes from a careful, scientific, state-wide poll conducted by experts. For our group Rolph is the end of the trail. He never has and he never will take us seriously in the affairs of government. No better line on Mayor Rolph is needed than his 19-years as mayor of San Francisco. There has been no reason advanced, why Fitts should not receive our support. In fact opponents have been so void of argument they appealed to prejudice, like old Ben Tilman of old—They hollowed Texan. Such bunk is only practiced by the weak and silly, like the hill billys of the South. Negroes of today are intelligent and will fail to heed such silly prattle. We are proud to predict an overwhelming vote from our group to Buron Fitts. They are on their way chock full of appreciation for the past and the brightest hope for the future. Full of self respect, disdainning bought influence. They look over their shoulders and treasifully say— "If Not Fitts—Who? Hear Fitts at Jefferson High Monday Night New York, Aug. 19—By A.N.P.—Captured and taken to the police station on a charge of robbery, Romillion Fernandez. 26, of 104 West 115th Street, attempted to shoot his way out of the police station, Thursday night, and after shooting two policemen, was himself killed on the spot by a wounded officer. Fernandez had been seized with three others in attempting to rob the Mecca Sweet Shoppe. 1429 Ogden Avenue, the Bronx, and had been taken to the Highbridge Station. While the police questioned Fernandez and took his pedigree, the bandit seized the revolver of a detective, Harry Bloomfield, and wheeled, firing one shot at Policeman Richard Elfers. Bloomfield, seated at a typewriter, lunged forward at Fernandez, but was stopped with a bullet through his body as Elfers fell, he fired one shot which pierced Fernandez' heart and the robber grooved dead in his tracks. Bloomfield is expected to die. The others held with Fernandez were Richard Diaz, 22, of 118 E. 111th St, Daxid Eissberg, 28, of 248 East 115th Street, and Ralph Breez, 22, of 68 E. 114th Street. The three companions of Fernandez were not in the same room with him when the shooting occurred. They were being questioned by other officers in another part of the station." By A.N.P. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 18—Bessie Brown, 126 N. North Carolina Avenue who tried to commit suicide on the night of July 26th, by lying on the track in front of a Pennsylvania railroad train arriving in the resort at 1:05 A. M., and who was rescued just as the train bore down upon her, tried the same thing again early Tuesday morning. She was discovered by a railroad watchman a few minutes before the train was due, and was arrested and held for investigation. MIXED LOVE AFFAIR HAS TRAGIC END IN MISS. Jackson, Miss, Aug. 18-By A.N.P. —A love affair between George Robinson and a young married white woman whose name is being concealed came to a tragic ending here Thursday when Robinson was shot and killed by a deputy sheriff as he attempted to escape from the local jail, and a few hours later the woman was sentenced to serve sixteen months on the Hinds County Farm. The affair had its beginning, according to reports, about two years ago, and the lovers held trysts at a house located in the Negro section of the town. Frequently the tall well-built Negro man was seen to enter the house followed a few minutes later by a slightly built, bobbed-haired and comely white matron. Neighbors observed this and gossiped. Whites noticed it and wondered, and Wednesday afternoon, an offices (Continued on Page Two) SIR JOHN BURTON Who will close his winning campaign in a monster rally at Jefferson High School next Monday evening This meeting promises to be the greatest of the entire campaign.

ELIZABETH S. C. EDWARDS On last Sunday afternoon, Attornel and Mrs. Leon Whitaker entertained with an elaborate reception in honor of Mrs. Elizabeth St. Charles Edwards, recently elected President of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. The spacious reception rooms were gay with brightly colored flowers and formed a beautiful setting for the hundreds of friends of the guests and their honoree who called throughout the afteridon. As the guests arrived, they were greeted by Mrs. Daley Ball Collins and Mrs. Carney Clinton Stewart. Mrs. Stewart introduced each guest to the new President and to the other ladies who formed the receiving line. The ladies who stood with the honored guest were Mrs. C. B. A. Bun- (Continued on Page Two) There is an old acage that "good things come to those who wait." That is part truth, but the whole of that truth is: "Good things come to those who qualify and wait. Again has been proven true in the case of Prof. Claud V. Pitts, who for the past twenty-one years dwelt among us and who for the most of that time has been without father or mother, yet in spite of that handicap, Mr. Pitts has wended his way round by round up the ladder of success. Just recently he was discovered by the renowned Dr. Hamilton Douglas, the celebrated teacher and promoter of dramatic are singing, dancing, etc. Dr. Douglas sang for four years in grand opera with the world famous, Enrico Caruso, and is the president of the International Artists' association. He is very jubilant over the fact that at last he has found in Prof. Pitts the man he has been looking for who is capable and worthy of a responsible position, so a few days ago Dr. Douglas got together his Board of Trustees consisting of Judge Haas and several other of the Superior Judges and the celebrated Dr. Stone, and in his absence and without his knowledge they elected Prof. Pitts, president of the colored International Artists' Association. Therefore we are congratulating Mr. Pitts on this highest honor that has been conferred upon him and (Continued on Page Seven) Denied Passage; Sues Air Line for $10,000 Seattle, Washington, Aug. 19-By A.N.P.-Claiming that he had been refused passage on a plane owned and operated by the West Coast Air Transport Company, R. S. Stewart, Night Club entertainer, has filed suit against the company for $10,000. Stewart declared in his petition that on June 25th, he requested passage on a plane to Los Angeles in order to arrive for an important engagement, and when the officials learned that he was a Negro they refused to permit him to make the trip. Atty. James T. Phillips Opens New Law Office Atty. James T. Phillips, who for ten years has successfully maintained a general law practice at 24 W.

RESORT MASQUERAD- ER SENTENCED By A.N.P. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug., 19—William Moore from Nashville, Tenn., was arrested while masquerading in woman's clothes at Pacific and Tennessee Avenues. He was attired in a light green costume, and Patrolman Christmas, thought he was escorting a woman to the city hall until he arrived at headquarters and removed the prisoner's hat. (By The Negro Welfare League Of California) In order that you may know the truth: about Governor Young, we address the following. If there are any of you within these counties, who have in mind of voting for the Governor, except his paid hirelings, we point out— 1—That Governor Young even before his election to his present high office has ever ben the apostle of racial discrimination, segregation and inequality, demonstrated by his attitude in the matter of the acquisition of certain properties in the city of Berkeley, his home town, by a Colored Masonic fraternity in 1923, and that his Alameda County political manager at this time, M. E. E. Nicholas was one of the leaders in opposition to our group at that time. 2-That when Ed. Glass, then a resident of Oakland had before the governor his appeal against extradition to Oklahoma, the eGovernor without due consideration allowed Glass to be extradited and as a result was allowed to be returned to Oklahoma, where Governor Young knew he would and could not receive a fair trial and Glass is now doing life sentence in that State. 3-Notwithstanding the fact that the Governor has appointed over three hundred women and men to his many commissions and boards, and in face of the fact that there are some excellently qualified citizens of our race in Alameda County, the Governor's home county, No single Negro has been recognized as meriting any consideration at his hands. 4—Mr. Frank C. Sykes, the Governor's San Francisco County manager, is the owner and manager of two skyscraper buildings in this city, employing therein scores of elevator operators and janitors. Some time ago Mr. Sykes is also a member of the Board of Harbor Comissioners and an official of Chadwick and Sykes, Engineers, employers of much labor throughout northern California and in no capacity has any Negro ever been employed. The Negroes of the State have now an opportunity of bringing to the governorship of California a man of real outstanding ability, who believes in giving the Negro a chance to participate in the affairs of the State. He is a Real War Veteran in every sense of the word. He has proved his worth as a soldier and official of the State and District Attorney. As Hugh E. Mc Beth, prominent Los Angeles attorney, in an open letter dated July 3, says: "With the limited resources at his command Buron Fitts has done more to date in proportion for the colored people of the state than either Governor Young or Mr. Rolph, in my opinion." CITIZENS OF ALAMEDA CO., CAN'T UNDERSTAND POSITION OF DR. HUDSON, OF LOS ANGELES. The Colored citizens of Alameda County, the home of C. C. Young cannot understand the position of Dr. H. Claude Hudson of Los Angeles, in exposing the re-nomination of of Governor Young, who is a member of the real estate firm of Mason McDuffie of Berkeley. This firm has been for years the most bitter opponent of colored citizens acquiring property in desirable sections of the college city. It is thought that Doctor Hudson did not thoroughly inform himself of the private server of the Governor. The Colored voters of this city and county where Young is known are decidedly anti-Young. Citizens of Alameda County. M. As the primary approaches on next Tuesday the remarkable showing of Sheriff to succeed himself in the office of, Sheriff for this county, has been one of the highlights in the local political situation. From all sections comes the same sentiment as expressed in poll after poll which have been taken in all sections of the County and City. The very fine record which he has made and the vast beneficial innovations, such as the honor camp for trustworthy prisoners, solution of the food problem in the County Jail, identification Bureau, Records, sub-stations, crime prevention, etc. BUSINESS IN THE SHER. IFF'S OFFICE This department of the county government is no loaker merely a criminal agency, engaged in the apprehension of law breaking. It is much more since Los Angeles has emerged from a small county to one of the largest metropolitan counties in the nation. It is a business institution, manned by business men, supervised by business men and conducted on business lines. SHERIFF TRAEGER IS A BUSINESS MAN He has put business in the Sheriff's office. He has raised the office to a high plane of efficiency. Thru out the nation the sheriff's office of Los Angeles is noted for its business methods, for its effectiveness, for its efficiency. Sheriff Traeger has the endorsement of scores of organizations; lodges, clubs, fraternities. Because Sheriff Traeger is a tireless worker, a real man who has demonstrated his fitness for the job he holds. KEEP HUM SHERIFF "BILL" TRAEGER. Greenville, Miss, Aug. 19-By A.M.

Jealousy over the Dent woman's attention to another man is believed to have occasioned the dead.

Mr. Taylor represented his superior Judge John A.’ Swanson, state's. at torney of Cook County, who had beer asked to address the lawvers on crime conditions in Chicago and the Negro's relation there to, “Crime conditions in Chicago and while serious, are greatly exaggerated,” emphasized Taylor. In support of the demurrer, he read from statistics compileé by the Prue dential Life Insurance Company, and issued in a report of the Chicago As- sociation of Commerce, which showed that Chicago, instead ‘of leading. the country in homicides, was 36th. Chic- ugo’s homicide rate is 127 per cert 100,000. But Memphis, Tenn., shows gyrate of 668 per cent; Augusta, Ga, 547 per cent; Birmingham, Ala, 51.3 per cent, and Jacksonville, Fla.) 46.9 Per. cent. Chicago's homicide rate was reduc- ed three per cent from 1928 to 1929, and the 1929 rate was only slightly higher than the average for the coun try as a whole. According to Mr. Taylor, who has made a special study of the Negro's connection with crime, there is no such thing known to the law-enforcing agencies of Chicago as a Negro gange- ter. a “In the field of deliberate mass mur- der, for profit,” asserted the prosect- tor,” the Negro is unknown.” An exact relationship between eco- nomic status and crime, so far as the Negro igagoncerned, hab een discov- ered by” the state's attorney's office. Investigation has served to show that the Negro who was born in Chicago or has lived there a suficient length < 10 adjust himself economically,, displays a minimum of criminal ten- denies, and that the problem with the criminal, Négro is almost entire- ly with the group which has migratec: from the south, which is upable some- times, either because of. lack of op- portunity or lack of training, to ad- just itself to the new and strange eco- nomic conditions. “An, analysis of the statistics for crime during the past twelve years,” indicated Mr. Taylor, ‘shows that when the labor market is brisk, crimes committed by Negro diminish, and that they increase when that market tightens.” ‘Mr. Taylor also implied that the Negro finds himself important in the city's crime statistes because of dif- ficulties usually present in giving him a fair trial. “The Negro criminal faces the rapid- y, moving courts of Chicago without fiends, or funds and with a record of anemployment upon which are cast 10 friendly. glances,"/Mr. Toylar ex- jlained. “The dread of facing ‘the ‘ourt the crowded room packed with what, what he imagines ‘are unfriend- ¥ spectators and a jury of whites, aise his friends to be reluctant to ippear to testify in his behalf.” ‘One handred fifty delegates. attend- d the convention.

The Rt. Rev. Michael J. Gallagher, Bishop of Detroit, is credited with having given valuable assistance to the local branch in its efforts toward male ing the event the greatest in the his- tory. of Colored Catholic’ activities. “In fact,” says Mr. Smith, “the entire Diocese’ of both White and colored Catholics” of Detroit are interested in the event and neither pains nor ex- pense will be spared in vhe entertain- ment of the many elegates and their friends who are expected from all sections of the United States.” Chicago Negro Busines: Men to “Carry On” BY_AN.E. a Chicago, TIl., Aug., 19—The spirit of the business men of Chicago seems tc be shaken not in the least by. the trouble which the banks of the city have been experiencing. Busines gen- erally has been little affected. While the rearranging of their banking ‘ac- counts has been hecessary in some cases, business men are quite g¢ nerally of the opinion that Chicago will con- tinue to forge dhgad with characteris- tic _spéed and confidence.

Virginia lost the charter through default of payment of a cer~ tain fee of tax due the state. When the Grand Lodge was reorganized they secured a charter froth the State of New Jersey ignoring the old charter. This knowledge has been kept within the breasts of a few of the old guard and when Wilson intrenched himself in office and the old guard felt he was planning to hold the grand exalt- ed rulership indefinitely or perpetual- Wy, they formed a Grand Lodge. in irginia reviving the original charter. Wilson and his group through counsel Perry W. Howard and W..C. Hueston entered suit in the United States Court at Richmond to restrain them from meeting as Elks. A temporary. injunc- tion was granted and the Virginia Lodge was ordered to show cause why the injunction should not be made per-' manent.

Subjects like “Infantile Paralysis; its cause, symptous, prevention and cure;” are intensely practical and we, as’ your health: writers have to take them up, and give you an intelligent idea of the entire condition;- which will enable you to escape the disease entirely, or to best deal with it when it is once es- tablished. This was, therefore, an in- tensely practical subject which I trust cach reader, read and studied care- fully: But it is ehey to see that while ‘you realize the need of such general subjects that’ you really enjoy best the “heart to heart” talks with women and girls; and I am glad, for after all these personal talks represent the real Purpose of this column. ‘There is not a woman living who, if she could go back to 14-years of age, would riot live her life differently. When we get older. when we have seen some of life with its cold realities, when we have felt the strength of adverse circumstances and the yweak- ness of ourselves when we have fallen flat in life's battle toward success, be- cause of insufficient equipment—then from the vantage ground of mature experience, we look back, and there lives not one who would not, live life differently if the journey were before her again. “What.” you inquire, “are the things where in you would do dif- ferently, if you were able to. start cleagain at 14-years.” First I believe, would answer. “I would te¥+to put the pnerprinciple of sincerity above all others.” And today to ‘you my dear little “fourteen year old,” I would like to so think long about the word “Sin. cerity.” The presence of it or the lock of it will make your life entirely dif- ferent. Be sincere with everyone, fitst of all with your self. then with your parents and last and just as truly with ok fcientla. ‘The Inestimable Value of Sincerity ‘The girl who starts out to “fool” ottiers, soon finds that she has fooled herself far more than anyone else. Why, should she be dishonest with any one, Mother is her very best friend, first last and always—She should nev- er try to “fool” or deceive her about anything, for to deceive her mother is only for a gid to cut herself off from her best. earthly: helper. Why should she deceive her friends, boys or gils or any body, -If'she is clean and honest there is no reason for deception, if she is not then the-thing to do is to be- come so; because mere >retense will never fool anyone, for very long. So into our ‘character building at 14- years let us put “sincerity” down in large letters, for it will earn more for us in present and future life than 2 Kteral gold: mabe + eet epee 1] “Next to sincerity, the girl at 14 -Jneeds a sense of the value of her || health.

TOURIST EXCURSION CLEANS DISTRICT OF PORTERS; 30 PORTERS TO HANDLE LARGE MOVEMENT Over 2500 tourists from al parts of Texas and Arizona took advantage of a low rate extended to them by the So. Pacific Railroad, and moved in a body upon the fair city of Los Angeles last week, arriving here Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The heavy movement just aout cleaned the Los Angeles district of every available extra porter on hand, and a great many regular line men were also camander into the service. About 30 Pullman cars lined up in the Naud Junction yards which is a very difficult place for a porter to reach by a street car. The cars were all made up into one train, and were scheduled to leave here dead-head for their cargo; it was rumored by many that the regular line porters on many lines not included in the movement would be forced to double in order to take up the slack caused by the absence of so many extra men. The movement was good news to many of the extra porters who have kept warming the bench for the past week or so. PORTERS ON SERVICE OF HONOR The following Pullman Porters operating out of the Los Angeles District were commended by passengers for acts of courtesy and good service: W. C. Anderson, Stanley Banks, F. D. Brock, H. Crouch, H. L. Chapman, A. Franklin, C. A. Glover, E. Gorsby, F. Hawkins, H. Johnson, C. Jackson, A. J. Kimbro, A. S. Lee, H. J. Mingleton, S. W. Parks, J. M. White, and H. Y. Watts. There was also one maid by the name of O. L. Pierce. 18 Porters and 1 Maid, this is quite a record for the Los Angeles district they top the list over all other districts in the country. The Railroad Clatter is exceedingly proud to stress the matter before the public. It shows the boys are on the job and hitting the ball. Chicago Northern however run them a close race having a total of 16; with a little improvement on our maids for next month, we will hang up a record that will be hard to beat. It does not hurt any porter or maid to be courteous and kind, display a smile whether you mean it or not. A smile pays Dividends, try it and see. T. TAFT NOW A PROUD FATHER IT'S A BOY T. Taft, one of the Los Angeles districts popular young married men, was put on the stork's port of call last Friday morning at 8:20 A.M. The stork paid his respects to Mrs. Sydonia Tait in the form of a nice chubby boy while her husband was out of town. Mrs. Taft is the sister of Lincoln perry's wife, better known as "Step en Fetchit" who is now in the East preparing to star in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" of New York City. Mother and son are enjoying the best of health, and the genial Mr. Taft was preparing to distribute the cigars to the gang, congratulations. EXPLANATION OF CREDIT UNION In reply to the many requests that the writer has received by mail asking for a more detailed explanation of the Credit Union recently organized by the Dining Car Employees Local No. 582. I take pleasure in publishing for the benefit of the Railroad Clatter's many readers, and all others who desire enlightment on the subject. A full explanation of the Credit Union secured from Mr. Clarence R. Johnson Secretary-Treasurer of Local 582, Dining Car Employees Union as follows: If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Credit Union National Extensive Bureau, and Author of the California Credit Union Law. NOTE:—The Credit Union National Extensive Bureau is financed by Ed. A. Filene, Boston Philanthropist, and carries its work as a disinterested public service, without charge direct or indirect for any service it may render. Recently the "Dining Car Employee's Credit Union, Ltd." was organized. The officers of said Credit Union are as follows: John Belton Joe Rakestraw Joe Robertson Malmore Hibler Monte Humphry The only people eligible for membership in the said Credit Union are the following: All members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Local No. 18085, in good standing; all members of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Conductors, Golden State Local, Los Angeles Division, in good standing; all members of the Dining Car Employees Local Union 582, in good standing; and all members of the Miscellaneous Dining Car Employees, in good standing, and the organizations as such. So that the people in general can understand the functions of a Credit Union and what it is hoped to be accomplished by an organization not only limited to the group in question but one which should be extended to embrace all people, it has been thought that an article setting forth what a Credit Union is and what has been accomplished should be published to that end and in the hopes that some good will be accomplished; following is the interesting story about Credit Unions. To approach the study of the value of Credit Unions to the needs of the worker, one must understand the meaning of the word "Credit," What is "Credit?" How is the right of the individual to credit determined? What collateral must he have to obtain credit? "Credit" is defined by Heerick in his book on rural credit as that "Confidence reposed in a person which enables him to obtain from another the temporary use of a thing of value." Credit may be extended because the lender has sufficient faith that the borrower will pay so that the credit extension is based exclusively on the character of the borrower or rather on the character diagnosis's of the recipient of credit made by the individual granting it. Credit may be also extended on the basis of a pledge of goods, a mortgage of real estate or upon a guaranty or by the assignment of thing of value. Credit may be extended for an infinite variety of purposes. According to their purpose credits are generally classified as either consumptive or productive. In Credit Unions, it is the practice to think of loans as either remorial in character or as "Constructive." THE NEED OF SHORT TERM CREDIT In the United States, it has been that only 15 per cent of the estimated population enjoy bank credits. What is the result of the lack of credit accommodations for those who are entitled to it in times of emergency. Thousands are paying tribute to usurers. Investigations made by the Russell Sage Foundation show interest rates at from 260 per cent to 2600 per cent. Obviously this condition could not exist were credit resources at legitimate rates of interest available for the masses. Usury can be eliminated only by the creation of a source of credit at legitimate rates of interest for the individual seeking and deserving credit, who lacking normal credit resources is forced to have recourse to the private lender operating at exhibitant rates. Recent campaigns have been waged against usury. When the Attorney General of New York last year looked over evidence brought before the legislature in support of a loan shark investigation bill, he found records of approximately 2500 cases in and near Albany in which small borrowers were paying interest at rates ranging from 250 to 520 per cent. The Russell Sage Foundation has for many years before the development of credit unions sponsored the uniform small loans law wherein 42 percent interest on loans was legitimate and within the law. It would seem to be a fairly accurate conclusion to deduce, finally that if the worker is to have available for his use credit resources at a lower than 42 per cent, he must look elsewhere than to the small loan business operated at a private profit and such an agency is the Credit Union or known as Co-operative Credit Societies. The underlying principle of the Credit Union is the accumulation of the Savings of a group of people, the investment of the accumulation in loans at legitimate rates of interest to members of the group, and the man- WE COVER CALIFORNIA LIKE THE OCEAN BREEZE agement of the resulting business by officers chosen by and from the members of the group in meetings of the group. No one outside the group has anything at all to do with it directly or indirectly. Membership is determined by (1) identity with the group in question, and. (2) subscription to at least a single share of the stock of the Credit Union, which share has generally a par value of five dollars and may be paid for in cash or in installments of a dollar a month. The Credit Union may also receive deposits. In making payments upon shares, the saver develops a fixed habit of saving. By the time a member has his first share paid for he has acquired this habit and goes right on subscribing for more shares. Incidentally, thereby the member is increasing his credit capacity by developing his own security. In 1917 eighteen employees of the New England Telephone Company in Boston formed such a society each original member making a small share subscription the total original collection being less than twenty dollars. Nine years later 14,000 employees of this one Company are Credit Union Members with a total savings of $1,500,000. By this method funds are accumulated and credit resources for the members of the group thereby automatically created. Loans are made for provident purposes exclusively to the members which loans are repayable in installments generally on a weekly basis of ten months duration. The management is in the hands of (1), a Board of Directors, (2) a Credit Committee and (3) a Supervisory Committee, all chosen by and from members. The officers—President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer are chosen by and from the Board of Directors. Members of the Board and of the Committees may not borrow in excess of their holdings nor endorse for borrowers. As a general rule no one is paid for their services except the Treasurer, who is the manager and is paid what the members determine. As Credit Unions grow larger, however, such clerical services as may be needed is employed. Thus in the Credit Union the member turns for credit not to the professional lender, but to his fellow worker; he unites with his own associates; they pool their savings, they use the resulting accumulation solely for the benefit of those to whom it belongs, namely for the benefit of the savers. There is no invested capital on which a preferred dividend must be paid; there is no incentive to usury, as the funds invested are the joint funds of the members, most of whom at some time or other must turn to the funds for credit. There is no large overhead expense; there is capacity for correct credit diagnosis. The result of it all is that loans are made at normal rates of interest. Credit Unions succeed when the plan is properly applied; by the same token they fail when improperly managed. In the Credit Union most of the work is done unselfishly. The successful credit unionist must be touched with the passion for service; he must realize that this organization has in it something of the principle of the brotherhood of man, that it is a "Co-operative Organization" built on the foundation of the strength of unity for a common purpose and as the Credit Union grows in size and assets those who do the bulk of the work will be paid something and adequately; but whether the credit union be large or small, they must have at least a glimmering sense of that intangible something which may make a human being conscious of his capacity, large though it be or small to perform unselfish service. Co-operation is not a miracle, it is a plan of human association in business for the joint and several good of those who are so associated, and there can be no good result from the operations of our cooperative society, whether it deal in credit or in any other commodity unless the business is a success as a business. There is little sense I na plan of profit division if there be no profits to divide. The Credit Union has a long and honorable history. It originated in Germany in 1854 and come to the United States as the result of the efforts of Edward A. Filene of Boston, the well known philanthropist whose unselfish service both in time and money have made it possible for our citizens to enjoy credit co-operation and its multiple benefits. Credit Unions first started in Massachusetts in 1909 through Mr. Filene's efforts. The general plan of Credit Unions has already been discussed. It has promoted thrift. created credit resources for the worker and has taught its members the intricacies of money management. Credit Unions work well in groups of from 50 to 15,000. Its loans are divided into two classes (a) remedial loans, made necessary by sickness, death, unemployment and similar emergencies; (b) constructive loans which includes helping members to buy small business, or to finance business until the borrowing member's means grow to banking size, to help, build buy, maintain, repair and pay the taxes on homes, to assist mem- BEHIND THE SCENES WITH HARRY "COMES THE AUTUM" rapidly with the cold rains asking a lot of partinent, aggravating questions about what became of all those fat checks made at the studios this summer and how about that new winter overcoat.

BUTLER, genial, busy, painstaking, casting director for Central Casting Bureau, predicts a good fall season and reports a greater tendency on the part of our people towards attending to business. MRS. A. C. BILBREW and eight of her chorus are rehearsing at the Biltmore theater for the stupendous bers to buy cooperatively, and any sort of loan which promises to improve the borrower's status or position in life. Credit Unions have made substantial progress in the United States during the past five years. Some thirty-three states have enacted laws for their organization. There are now 1500 credit unions in the United States fighting the loan sharks. They have over $50,000,000 in assets. In California where the law is but two years old, thirty credit unions are operating successfully. Many more becoming aware of the benefits of these institution are organizing. Credit Unions are no longer experimental. They are a proven success. They are organized in our state amongst Postal groups, railroad workers, churches, fraternal orders, school teachers. The Postal Department is sponsoring Credit Unions all over the United States. Last year they did a business of over $10,000,000 in small loans. They are supervised by the Corporation Department of this state to insure safety of operation. They have a remarkable record for safe operation. The maximum rate of interest charged is twelve per cent upon unpaid balances. Loans under fifty dollars need not be secured. Over fifty dollars security is refused; such security may be the endorsement of one or more members. A reserve fund of 20 per cent of the earnings of six per cent is generally paid upon shares. Shares are redeemable by giving the credit union notice if required sixty days before redemption provided the Credit Union is solvent and the withdrawing number is not indebted to the Credit Union. In California the maximum loan is limited to 20,000.00, and maximum holding of any person in the Credit Union is limited to $2,000.00. Three or more persons may form a Credit Union. In conclusion it may be said that the Credit Union offers the solution to the worker for his small loan problem. Further, the Credit Union is a kindergarten School and the subject taught is the business like management of money. Such teaching is essentially preliminary to the business like management of any other type of co-operative enterprise. Finally, if we are properly conscious of the very definite obligation we owe to the day and generation beyond our own, we need not particularly assume the role of prophet to foresee the significance of cooperative Credit as a contribution to that eventual objective, a closer attainment of the brotherhood of man. For the Credit Union teaches the individual that by working intelligently with his brother he may the more readily make the far objectives.

From the abstrast now to the sublime (or would one say frivolus) we spotted the celebration at Val Verde last Saturday night. About twenty-five carloads of young girls and a few chaperons (nize-party) motored forty some odd miles to dance and write to the strains of Ja Boody and his band. (Not a cough in the whole carload). Willie Middleton primed for the occasion made a very peppy master of ceremonies and band leader having the orchestra under his thumb but nothing else (if you get what we mean). The beautiful moonlight and shadowy retreats beaconed to many of the romantics and their responses (for at frequent interval we observed couples return to the ballroom with glistering eyes. Cookie gave an exhibition tap dance executing some of his new steps most to the enjoyment of the guests. We had to leave at four A. M. (being Sunday we had to get ready for Sunday School). Although the main attraction was about to take place. We left the Biggler there who being a bigtimer could stand the pace. He claims that we missed the time of our lives by leaving (incidentally one of the guests lost $153 by staying). Breakfast was theanner, with Mary Jane Clark, Mae Turner, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Vena hosts. Caught in the light, Esther Russell, Hugh Beaty, the heartless, Newell Eason and I.

A. we refer to the lovely aviatrix, Miss Marion Crawford of Marsh Field, Riverside. We can readily see how she can make anyone go up in the air, in fact we are up in the air as to who she will take up (not in the air but in arms.) We understand that the young lady is to enter U. C. L. A. this fall, which means what? — your turn. Curtis Cleveland has gone in for aviation can there be any connection with the above. Lois celebrated her (?) birthday at the Apex last Tuesday amidst a score of her faithful admirers mostly boyfriends. How does she manage and select them is worrying the Bigglet. (We already have her formula.) Roy Baumann has been barking up the wrong tree. He has falsely accused poor Edoule Harvey of usurping his throne when in reality Jesse James is doing the work and Ruth remains the innocent cause. What a pitty! Naomi Green so very sweet at least so Tommy Anderson testifies, working like a little triobat at the Orange Stand at the Apex. Have you wondered how she got those dimple cheeks? Another birthday was celebrated last Sunday when a party of sixteen motored to Lake Elsinore. Mr. and Mrs. A.

Miss Chinese Searcy, sister of the hostess, who has always merely looked on when the games was in progress was forced to play as a filler in naturally every one thought her an experienced player. But the eyes of everyone were opened when she, staged a "walkaway" and led the entire house by a large margin. Miss Betty Bielson who has often visited with the girls and even entertained the club once, won 2nd prize for guests. She also became a member. Mr. Ben Jones, who has not been meeting with the girls very much recently was awarded 1st prize for men. Mr. Dayis 2nd and Mr. Sam Moore was awarded consolation. Among the members, Mrs. Beatice White is living up to her reputation, having won 1st place. Miss Etta Atkinson, 2nd and Mrs Nellie Williams received consolation.

If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened "POVERTY" By CARL ECHOLS Who knows the extent of the poverty to be found in this land of plenty? Rich men wax wealthier. But privation still urks in the background. Who knows the genius and talent that has been stifled for want of sufficient means? Away with your "genius will surmount all difficulties" theory. Poverty is a spur to some, a death sentence to others! Because of poverty women sell their virtue, men their honor. Poverty breeds maladjusted citizens. It urges to crime. Poverty turns men into beasts. Poverty embitters the soul. It makes callous the heart. Want and self respect are bad, bad fellows. "Tis hard to look your debtor in the face. Poverty leads to suicide. Poverty makes cynics, pessimists, misanthropists. Poverty twists the sense of true values. Poor men are tempted to place too much importance in dollars. Poverty gives birth to discontent. And even heaven is hell to the discontented. Poverty stimulates hate. And the soul that hates shall die. Poverty weakens the valiant, chills the fervent, and causes the strong to lose heart. Poverty is a ladder to accomplishmen. And Poverty is a stairway that descends into degradation! Poverty is a flame that burns away the dross from the gold. And poverty is a consuming heat that causes the metal of character to lose its temperature. Lord, give me not great riches lest I forget Thee, nor poverty lest I curse Thy name! SWEEPING STATE With a grano climax the like of which has never been witnessed in the annals of political effort in this state, the Hon Buron Fitts has received ovation after ovation throughout the state during the past week climaxing in a mighty crescend at the monster banquet at the Chamber of Commerce on last Tuesday evening when more than 1200 persons sat down at a banquet in his honor. ENTHUSIASM RAN BIOP There was never a political meeting at any time or place which would excel this great meeting. The Hon. Joe Scott was the master of ceremonies and to be sure this assured the program with plenty of "pep". Editor: Manchester Boody of the Daily News was one of the outstanding speakers for the occasion and invoked the greatest enthusiasm by his remarkable facts and figures which unloosed the flood gates of enthusiasm. FITTS APPEARS It was fully ten minutes before the candidate could proceed with his speech, such was the ovation given him on his appearance. Throughout his address he was frequently interrupted with voiceiferous applause, and at its conclusion bedlam broke loose such was the state of mind of the gathering Other speakers followed including Mrs. C. A. Bass, head of the Fitts for Governor, organization, also managing editor of this newspaper. She received a tremendous ovation as she spoke upon the issues of the campaign. Judge Sheldon Receives Endorsements M. To The Voters of Los Angeles County: We wish to call your attention to the able and fearless record as Judge that Judge Caryl M. Sheldon, now a Judge of the Municipal Court, has made in the years he has served upon the bench. We heartily endorse his candidacy as Judge of the Superior Court, Office No. 10, and know full well that in ability, courage and fair-mindedness, he will serve all the people regard less of religion, color, race or creed, or financial position in life, as ably in that office as he has in the past. WILLIS O. TYLER J. H. WILSON H. E. MACBETH C. A. JONES IVAN JOHNSON III Political Meanderings BY CORRINE B. SMITH Friends, this is my column and I am expressing my personal view on the political situation as I see it. The Editor and Managing Editor have granted me that privilege. I wish to call to the fact that Mr. Cole Stalling is still actively engaged in directing the publicity of Mr. Kelly's campaign. You know how he has also been very active in every discriminatory movement against our group. Remember my people, our only weapon of defense is the ballot. Go to the ballot box and vote for the candidates that are broad minded and fair enough to accord the rights of citizenship vouchsafed by the Constitution of the United States. After Tuesday it will be too late to remember these facts I call your attention to at this time. You owe this to the future generation of our group. Mrs. Oona Faulconer is truly the logical candidate for Office No. 11. She is well qualified to grace the Superior Court bench and should be elected August 26th. The. meanderer accompanied Mrs Charlotta Bass, who headed a Fitts-For-Governor Committee to Bakerfield Tuesday. The Kern County Civic Club held an open air forum at the Cain A. M. E. Church of which Rev. Gantt is pastor. Mrs. Bass made a most eloquent appeal for Mr. Fitts and stated some very impressive facts that seemed to have, a marked effect upon the audience and we could see that our message had been well received. The sentiment for Burton Fitts for Governor is growing. Friends, please don't lose sight of the act that number of candidates now running for office are men of sterling qualities and truly merit your consideration. Tuesday will be the last day of campaign activities for the primaries. If you want to see your candidates nominated or elected, you must work now and dream later. We will lay aside all NO CRAW FISH IN THIS PRESIDENT OF THE N. A. A. C. P. New York, August 19—Out of thirty-seven purely Negro precincts in Kansas City, Kansas, which has the largest Negro voting population in the State, Senator Henry J. Allen received, according to telegraphic report to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from Roy Wilkins, only 1,322 votes. His principal opponent received 3,579 votes, a percentage for Allen of barely 27. Normally, the returns would have been reversed. According to Mr. Wilkins, who is the managing director of the Kansas City Call, which played a large part with the N. A. A. C. P. in stirring sentiment towards the rebuke of Senator Allen, an overwhelming Negro vote was cast against Allen throughout the state. In this striking manner the intelligent, unpurchasable Negroes of Kansas registered in unmistakable fashion their disapproval of Senator Allen's support of Judge Parker's nomination as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Although Senator Allen was renominated, it is felt, especially at Washington, that the action of he Negro voters of Kansas in rebuking Allen, marks one of the most significant steps ever taken by the Negro towards political emancipation. The N. A. A. C. P, sent its Field Secretary, William Pickens, to Kansas. Mr. Pickens addressed large and enthusiastic meetings in Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Parsons and Atchison. On Sunday evening, August 3rd, what was said to be the greatest meeting of Negroes ever held in Kansas was held at the First A. M. E. Church of Kansas City. More than two thousand persons were in and around the meeting, the thermometer stood at 100 degrees and had been at 110 during the day. Large delegations of Negroes attended the meeting from Lawrence, Leavenworth, and other points in Kansas and Missouri. Mr. Pickens spoke on the suggestive theme, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Parker, Hoover, Allen and Henderson." Those who attended the meeting went away from it ninety-nine per cent anti-Allen, as was to be seen by the election returns of the primary held on August 5th. David E. Henderson, for whom Allen secured an appointment in the Attorney-General's office at Washington, after Allen had learned of the resentment of Negroes against his attempt to put on the Supreme Court a man who was willing to deny to the Negro all Gilpin Will Hits Snag (By: A. N. P.) New York, Aug. 20.—From Trenton, N. J., comes the word that probate of the will of Charles Gilpin, the noted actor, who died last May in a suburb of Trenton, has been held up in Mercer County Orphans Court by a caveat filed with Surrogate S. Haverstick by Mrs. Lillian Wood Gilpin of 767 East 224th street, New York City, who says she is his wife. The will leaves $25 to Gilpin's sister, Mrs. Lella C. Brown, and divides the balance of the $2,500 estate between his common-law wife, Alma Bynum, and their son, Paul W. Gilpin, of Philadelphia. Judge Godfrey W. Schroth will hold a hearing in the matter some time during the present month. petty grievances and entertain but one great ambition and let that be to elect Buron Fitts for Governor. Don't forget to exert every effort to help us elect the two candidates of our own group. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Eugene C. Jennings. Judge Bishop was out making some last minute calls on a few of our representative citizens Tuesday afternoon. I am sorry it has never been my pleasure to meet the honorable judge but I have met Judge Walter B. Thompson, a very fine man who is opposing Judge. Bishop and Attorney Roy Smith, who is also an opponent of the Judge. I am not in a position to recommend the incumbent, but I am asking you to vote for either of the two opponents. I have never been impressed with the record of the incumbent. Please consider seriously Office No. 1 of the Superior Court and vote for the incumbent judge. He merits your support. Judge Valentine and Haas are both men of sterling qualities and I am hoping you will select one of these two judges August 26th. Atorney Charles F. Reiche is truly waging an intensive campaign and feels assured he will be on the ticket if not elected August 26th. He is opposing Judge Hartley S. Shaw. Vote for Reiche. Mr. Edward W. Hopkins is the incumbent assessor. He has served the people of this county for a number of years faithfully and honestly. He employs in his department eight members of our group. On election day No. 1 will be printed beside Mr. Hopkins's name. Don't mistake other Hopkins on the ballot for Ed W. Hopkins. Let us retain him as Assessor. Judge Dailey Stafford merits election to office No. 9. He is well qualified to grace the bench of the Superior Court. of his citizenship rights, was present at the Kansas City meeting, in the gallery, and heard from the lips of Mr. Pickens a seathing denunciation of Henderson's willingness to sell out the rights of his own race in return for a political appointment. According to the Wichita Beacon of August 2nd, Henderson is quoted as warning Negroes "about fighting against their best interests when they have nothing to fight with." Henderson alleged "that everything the Negro owned or hoped to be in America is owed to the good interest of the white people." Henderson is quoted also as bitterly assailing the N. A. A. C. P., saying that because of personal friendly relations between some white and colored people in Kansas that Mr. Pickens had no business urging Negroes to vote against Allen, but ought to give his advice to Negroes in the South. Reports to the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. indicate great bitterness among thinking Negroes of Kansas against Henderson. Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., in commenting upon the Kansas primary declared "Allen gained the Republican nomination chiefly due to the fact that there were so many opponents in the field against him. The combined vote given to these opponents is considerably in excess of that polled by Allen. Had it not been for this division of the opposition it is certain that the circumstance that seventy-five per cent of the Negroes of Kansas voted against Allen would have meant his defeat. As it is Allen had to put up the greatest efforts in the campaign, according to reports to this office, intrying to hold Negroes in line. Unfortunately, there were some Negroes who for various considerations, put personal interests above loyalty to principle and their race. We are proud of the fact, however, that the majority of the courageous, intelligent and unpuchasable Negroes of the state registered in so striking a manner their disapproval of Allen's support of Parker. The resentment is one which is not going to be lost upon Allen or politicians generally. The N. A. A. C. P. is proud of the part that it has played in this notable struggle and it extends its most cordial thanks to the Kansas City Call and other Negro newspapers and to the intelligent Negroes of Kansas for the great aid rendered in this exceedingly important struggle." Senator McKinley Seeks Re-Election Making a last minute whilwind drive for his reelection to the state senate friends of J. W. McKinley are very busy on the east side. The senator is one of the most popular figures in Los Angeles political life, and in addition to the people who support him for his seriatorial record are many who are working for him becauseq of his personal character and fine personal qualification. Macaulay Florence Cole Talbert, famous prima donna who scored a great triumph atthe Hollywood Bowl, has given an enthusiastic endorsement of Senator McKinley. As Florence Cole, she was in the same high school class with Senator McKinley, and has known his practically all her life. Another ardent orker for Senator McKinley is Mrs. Jessie Addison, of 1019 East 36th St. Mrs. Addisonwas with Senator McKinley's mother when the senator was born and for eight years was his nurse. "There never were more wonderful people than that boy's father and mother," Mrs. Addison said, "and Senator McKinley was a wonderful boy and is a wonderful man. I am very proud that the state of California has an opportunity to secure his services as senator. I want my friends to vote for him and to get their friends to." Mrs. William H. Sanders, civic leader, is one of the most active supporters of Senator McKinley. Mrs. Sanders points to the fact that "four years ago we elected J. W. McKinley to the senate from this district. He has made a record that we are all very proud of and we are eager to see him returned to the senate. It is necessary to have him returned to the senate. It is necessary to put him back because we can have only one senator and he is the only incumbent senator running for this office who voted against the special assessment evil. His vote on all matters in the senate has been good. He has proved himself to be our friend and it is now our opportunity to see that he is returned to office." Senator McKinley has received the endorsement of the woeuer's Republican clubs of California, as well as many other civic organizations. Recent straw votes show him running far ON TO HOLLYWOOD BOWL So much interest has developed during the week in the Mammoth Building Fund Benefit for Wesley M. E. Church at the Hollywood Bowl this Sunday afternoon and evening that indications are that a record crowd for our events will be there. Mme Minnie M. Albritton-Jackson will make her first appearance as a chorus director in the West. She has conducted great community choruses in Boston, Cleveland and Richmond, Virginia. She has spent over two months developing her chorus here and the public is certain to receive the musical treat of the season. Besides Mme. Jackson, Mrs. Carrie Daniels, Mr. George D. Jones, Mr. Carl Weaver, Br. A. A. Green recently of Clark University, Atlanta, Georgia and Mrs. Helena Smith are the soloists. That imitable reader, Mrs. A. C. Bilbrow will read also Mrs. Idell Bateman who ranks among the best in the country. Pastor Shaw and his people especially urge th esupport of the other churches of the city in this first effort under church auspices so that in the future it will be an easy matter to secure the Bowl at least once during the coming seasons. It is their purpose to invite other churches to participate in an Annual Event which every year will pack the Bowl to its full capacity. Come and bring the whole family. Only a few reserved seats at 50 cents and $1.00. General Admission by free will offering at the gate. Children under 12 with adults, free. Charles W. Lyons C. W. INCUMBENT SENATOR IS CONSISTENT IN HIS PLATFORM VIEWS The platform adopted by Senator Charles W. Loyn at the outset of his campaign for re-election is said by expertsin state and economic affairs to be one of the most progressive and constructive ever offered by a candidate. It is the result of Senator Lyon's sixteen years of unbroken service in the California Legislature. He said yesterday it has been planned with especial consideration for the needs of Southern California and Los Angeles County. He has pledged himself to abide by this platform in every detail, in addition to working for the many others constructive measures in which he will be interested during the coming session. Following is Senator Lyon's platform: Economy and reduction of taxes. Rearrangement of the state penal system to permit segregation of youths and first offenders from hardened criminals Education and rehabilitation of criminals by teaching them useful trades and requiring them to work while incarcerated, thus lessening the cost of their maintenance and relieving some of the burden of the county board of charities. Increasing the pro-rata percentage of gas tax money for road construction in Los Angeles County. Rewriting or amending the special street improvement acts to protect property owners against over lapping and excessive special assessments and providing for contribution from the general funds of the city or county for a portion of the cost of major traffic projects. Extension of the building program of the University of California at Los Angeles. Revision of the inequitable and antiquated tax system of California.

New York, Aug. 19.—A writer in a large weekly paper last week deplored the fact that colored audiences fail to support colored stars, showing little respect for their theatrical leaders. Of all which may be true, but did he ever stop to think how little the colored theatrical profession honors itself? Last Wednesday night, your correspondent attended a midnight show at a local theater and was seated in the second row, extreme left. After a long-drawn out poor half-talking and half-silent picture, the revue got under way. There were such excellent persons in the cast as Swan and Lee, two of the most clever comedians on the stage; Amanda Randolph; Artie Cain; Thomas Moseley and Alma Smith. It was an excellent bill, good enough in itself, had not performers in the audience been called to the stage to do specialties. Beginning at 12:30 the show ran four hours! But all during the presentation of the revue, there was one character in the audience, sitting in the first seat of the front row, just in front of your correspondent, who right only made himself a nuisance but was obnoxious in the extreme This young man has had some success as an eccentric drummer and won a modicum of praise when he played at the Palace Theatre. This has evidently gone to his head for he felt that he had the undeniable right to make himself seen and heard at all times during the performance. His companion was equally as bad if not worse, trying to outdo the first young man in everything possible. While the theater reserves the right to eject disturbers, it seems that an actor of all people would know how to behave when he is on the wrong side of the footlights. This was particularly true during the inferences on the stage to effeminate men. Here is a part worked which would be well left out. During the show, Willie Bryant, an excellent comedian if he ever gets wise to himself, a splendid dances who teamed with Duke Miller, has made quite a reputation on the Publix Circuit, pulls this old line, too often, apparently enjoying the delineation of such characters. It is of little help to the show and wouldn't be missed were it omitted. These faults are so glaring that even the most tolerant persons in the audience notice them and quickly tire of them. But the gentleman who writes the story on the attitude of the audiences toward stars, should write something on the proper etiquette of actors when attending another performance: LONG BEACH GIANTS VS.

Every member and friend is HELL BY WILLIAM PICKENS The preachers are occupying too much space in the bad news of the front page nowadays. We ordinary sinners have notageen a chance to hit the spotlight any longer. Every time a preacher starts to get married, there's scandal the oider the preacher, the worse the scandal. Women take to preachers like they take to soldiers' uniforms, and, of course, part of the uniforms, and of their presumption and misconception of the the preacher, widowed preacher is the objective of a cruel manhunt. And when he decides to marry one of the beloved sisters, there are so many others offended that there is sure to be a fuss. Recently one big preacher let it leak out that he was about to be married, and another woman marched into his study and slapped his face and sued him for something like $100,000. To make it even he sued her back for another $100,000 for "assault. It is our prediction that neither one of them will collect, as neither one of them ought to collect. Then that woman "topup" ever and got married to the winning lady. We Have Noticed that Very few Preachers Ever Get Married and Then Stay for Long After on The Charge On Which They Get Married. There is something deadly, persistent, and final about the poison that is injected into the female portion of the membership by the hate and envy aroused when the pastor marries, somebody else. Another prominent preacher was smarter. He slipped away and got married without letting it leak out first. He may get away with it We doubt it "The Deadliest of the species is the female." Another preacher got married sometime ago. There was a stiff undercurrent or resentment. At least he is moving and there are "explanations" one set and sort of explanation from him and a different set and sort from the hostile portion of the membership. Out in the west and south a whole bevy of preachers have been arrested for graft and murder. Of course, some maybe all, that are innocent of murder at least, but why in the h—or rather why in the name of the Lord were they so careless as to get all tangled up in a mess like that? The Lord certainly needs to look after his preachers. If he does not, we sinners are going to do it; we'll just call a meeting and have some of them turned clear out of the church. We have often been bored because too many preachers spend too much time talking hell. Now we are shocked because too many of them have begun to raise what they have been talking about. And for once we are really frightened about it, for actions speak much more effectively than words. God have mercy on us poor and ordinary sinners if we be in his sight even worse than this selection of his preachers. MAN WHO ESCAPED TEXAS MOB ELEC- TROCUTED Huntsville, Texas; Aug. 19—By A. N.P.-Rainey Williams, who three times escaped death at the hands of mobs, came to his end in the electric chair here Friday to which he was sentenced for criminal assault on a Negro woman. While Williams was convicted of assaulting a Negro woman, there were two white women at the trial who identified him as the man who had attacked them, and it is believed that in reality the doomed man was electricuted for attempting to assault white women, thus for any crime against a Negro women. Williams was arrested in Port Arthur, charged with attacking several women. A mob stormed the jail to get him, but the sheriff succeeded in carrying him to Beaumont. The blood-thirsty mob followed him there, but the sheriff dispersed them with tear gas bombs and a second mob with a heft blow on the jaw of the mob leader. When he was brought to the Rangers protector and the first captain considered was that of the Negro woman, and he was sentenced to death. FORCE.NEGROES TO QUIT WORK Harrison, Ark., Aug. 19—By A.N. P.—The sight of Negroes working while so many whites are unemployed was too much for the white folks here Tuesday morning and the contractors employing the Negroes were forced to discharge them. Two white setters from Little Rock were given the contract for the tile work in the Boone County Hardware Company building. When they arrived Tuesday morning, they brought with them several Negroes as helpers and the work. Little progress had been made when a group of whites appeared on the scene and told them that unless the Negroes were fired there would be trouble. In order to keep down trouble, the Negro workers were sent back to Little Rock by their employees, who it is said assured them that they would be paid just the same. urged to attend this meeting as it is a very important one.

BEAUTY AND YOU By: Sadie Nero Davidson MODERN GOOD LOOKS As smart people judge it today are stressed on Five Points—Smooth Skin, Accented Eyes and Mouth, Long Slim Neck, Lovely Brow. Smooth, "Mat Kid" skin may be any natural tint so long as it is clear and fine—pored. Must not be over-oily or over-dry. Lovely Brow: Eyebrows must be well shaped. Hairline must be clearly defined. No wrinkles or frown-lines. Turbulent mouth: Right shade of lip rouge. Rouge applied correctly. white sparkling teeth. Accented eyes: Eyes must be clear lids slightly darkened. Lashes thick and glassy. Tissues firm and unwrinkled. Long Slim Neck: Made firm by exercise. Kept light by bleaches. Kept smooth and nwrinkled by nourishers. First, The Skin. The Skin, for instance maybe as dark or light or neutral-tinted as it is Natural for it to be. Only be sure you have achieved the clearest and most becoming shade possible to your particular skin. That of course means the selecting of your cosmetics as well as your costumes. Use cleaning cream, creme creams, powder with a powder blended to match the skin tint exactly. Then the Browns. The forehead is very much in evidence these days. Its first beauty in being smooth and unwrinkled. It will be naturally if the skin well cleansed and nourish. The dailtime is softened by a few flattering curls. The eyebrows must be brushed daily with a small brush dipped in olive oil or eyelash-grower. It is permissible to shape them by plucking—Not to a narrow, antenna—like line but so they look like smooth even ribbons, ending narrower at the end. The High Accents: Eyes are age modern high accents of the face quite frankly emphasized so that the face itself needs no other color—Eyes are kept clear and, bright by the use of eyebash or cold water. And nourishing creams is applied at night to keep the tissues around the eyes smooth and unwrinkled. Eye lashes are encouraged to be thick and glossy, by the use of eyelash growing ointments. And eye shadow, to match either the iris of the eye, or the tinting of the lid, is applied across the lid and up alongside the bridge of the nose, if the eyes are wide set. The mouth—so vital an accent in the modern face—must be made up with equal care and daring care in choosing, just the red that agrees with costumes, and with teeth and color of the skin—Daring in using it frankly, not heavily and crudely, but in the cantec and along the upper lip, until the whole face sparkles to life. Long Smooth Throat: The exaggeratedly long and slender throat that goes so well with the small head and straight shoulders is a gift of NEW LINCOLN GOLF COURSE IN GRAND PREMIER OPENING Mr. Otis J.

THE LAST CALL After a very strenuous campaign of more than the usual duration of time for a State campaign, the people now await the vetoet which will be rendered next Tuesday at the ballot box. Every indication at this writing points to the triumphant nomination of the Hon. Buron Fitts as the Republican bearer for the election in Nov. The contest, it is generally conceded, has narrowed down to a race between Buron Fitts and Mayor Kolph, Fitts having a decided edge. CALIFORNIA EAGLE EARLY BOOSTER This paper has been right up on the paper itself in tougher the best it could be of assistance in electing Buron Fitts as our next governor. We have so acted because we are firm in our conviction that the State needs a man of the courage of Mr. Fitts as head of its State government. We are firm in our conviction that he will be the governor of all the people and give to them the sort of government which they desire. We are proud of the fact that the very splenoid support being given by our group in this cause for the people demonstrated ground peradventure that forms a program of State which really includes all of the people of the State. We now make our last appeal and that is to rally on next Tuesday as never before to do the thing which means so much to the progress of all peoples of California vote—work for, persuade others to do so, and part and parcel of the work to good good government on next Tuesday. But Buron Fitts, will go over the top again and become the next Governor of California. The method is simple daily exercise: Raising and lowering the head so you feel the muscles in the throat pulling. Bending the head back and then lowering and closing the mouth. Yawning with the mouth closed. Finally and most important—walking always with head carried high. Creams and bleaches help too. GIVE ME A BREAK I'm not such a sunny feller.

Following the dinner a large audience gathered in the side street fronting the church which had been previously blocked off and seats placed to accommodate all and listened to various canidates champion their cause and be championed. In as much as it was an open meeting, fostered in the interest of the voting public that they might gain first hand information concerning the fitness of each candidate, it proved a success in every way and several hundred voters were much enlightened as to the ability and fitness of each candidate from coroner and justice of the peace to the governorship. Following several speakers who appeared for the Rolph and Young interests, Mrs. Charlotte Spear Bass was presented to the gathering as the last speaker, and for thirty minutes held the vast audience spellbound while she made point after point in the interest of Buron Fitts and dealt intelligently blow after blow to his opponents. Mrs. Bass had prepared a speech, but laid it aside and dealt openly and forcefully with the issues of the day and succeeded in converting a large number of undecided voters to the cause of Buron Fitts. Her forceful address drew applause after applause and at its conclusion she was surrounded on all sides and congregated, and asked speechful how she had managed to approach for Mr. Fitts. Rev Gantt and the members of his congregation are—to be congratulated for the success of the meeting. In addition to a large colored audience over two hundred white citizens took advantage of the occasion to listen in and were well paid. "Let Hopkins Hop Out and Walka Walk in."

Therefore I urge my people who know of my work, my integrity and my past efforts for racial advancement along all lines, to follow my lead and vote for the re-election of Governor C. C. Young.

We reached the popular place at 1 A. M. and. tarried their’until 3A. M. Feeling that we had seen’ all there was to see of the dancing contest we turned homeward. What we saw: J:—A ‘sign reading, “SO cents ad- mission.” 2—A crowded tent (mostly caba- seters) of people’ of all walks of life. 3—About five couples dancing to the music of a snappy orchestra. 4—About every 15 minutes or so the dancers retired for a snooze. Then they retarned refreshed to dance some more. The Dances-are only about a minute long The participants need ot. always “step (on the puppy's tail,” but they ust keep moving when the tmusic is & goin’. ‘You mast move if only. to walk or else you are disqualified. Be- tween sleep intervals 2 varied pro- gram is arranged, which consist of reciting funny verses, doing a new strut, “playing pranks, spining ropes, ete. Of course the interspersed enter- tainment is not always free of a taint of vulgarity er commonness. But we are gaining experience, and who in the hell cares about a little smoot that fouls the atmosphere. The colored dance marathon is i good way for many srhite men to inake Some easy money, and @ few col- ored mento make 2 little. There is. nothing educating or up- lifting about the Maywood marathon, but I forgot that we did not go there secking Salvation. Any how the trip there and ‘back in the auto. will at least relax ones nerves (providing you do mot tty to reach your home at three A.M. by going in the wrong direction as we did). fi Oby yes, we forgot to mention that on Sunday evenings you may see some of the colored fovie stars, What if they; all sing’ the same songs and de fhe Same dances we should worry, we are looking at his “made up” face and her abbreviated skirt.

Zion Church, Aug. 24 The annual Men's Day at the First A. M. E. Zion church, at the corner of Pico and Paloma streets, will be observed Sunday, August 24th. For some years past Men's Day has been the most important annual event at the Zion church. It has, in fact, been one of the great community occasions to which the people of Los Angeles have looked forward to because of the high religious and educational values which the Men's Day program always contains. The special features for Sunday., the 24th will be as follows: MORNING SERVICE, 11 O'CLOCK— Address by Dr. John C. Page, Dean of Faculty of Los Angeles Bible Institute. Subject, "The Making of a Man." EVENING SERVICE, 7:30— Address by Dr. Edward Adams Cantrell, chautauqua lecturer and sociologist. Subject, "Bluffing the Universe." Both Dr. Page and Dr. Cantrell have national reputations as scholars and speakers, and large numbers of people interested in the religious, educational and social advancement of the race will avail themselves of the privilege of hearing these great characters. Dr. Page was for many years instructor in Bible Doctrine and Pastoral Theology at the famous Moody, Institute of Chicago, and is now rendering similar service at the Los Angeles Bible Institute. Dr. Cantrell is one of the outstanding lecturers on educational and literary subjects in the United States, and has been enthusiastically acclaimed by the daily press and prominent scientists and scholars throughout the country. Says Prof. George L. Leslie, former head, Department of Psychology, Los Angeles City schools, "Mr. Cantrell possesses a rare knowledge of the biological, psychological and sociological subjects which underline the religious thought of today." The music for Men's Day will be under the direction of Mr. Aristide Chapman (Denver University). The Utica Jubilee Singles, as well as the quartet from Golden State Insurance Company, Bullock's and the Los Angeles Fire Department will be heard. The public is invited to both morning and evening exercises.

You are cordially invited to worship with us at all times. Bethel Church of Chris (Holiness) BISHOP WM. A WASHINGTON PASTOR East Adams and Hooper Streets "Shower of blessings refreshing" was felt by all in the congregation of Bethel last Sunday morning when the pastor full of spirit and power spoke from 2nd Timothy: 4:2. He said in part—taking as a text: Preach the word, ("Christ,") "We should preach Christ; not ideas and notion. That he who gets a true vision of Christ looses sight of organization line. Organization is alright, but organization can't save. Christ is all." The Pastor's Aid Board, Sister Bush President had a very successful service Sunday afternoon 3 o'clock. It was a glorious day for all. Are you burden, or lonesome, heart sick or ill? Come to BETHEL where the fire of the Holy Ghost falls in every service. Souls are blessed and saved.

We purpose to ‘speak on the candidates for. governor im the light of their attitude toward the Negro. ‘The colored man in California, as well as in all U. S. A., is a contribu- tor to the commen good, hence there is a certain amount of recognition due him. Such recognition cannot by any means be considered a favor to the Taee. It is its lawful heritage. Governor Young has done nothing im the past for the Negro. We have no guarantee that he will do anything in the future. Mayor Rolyh has had two decades of opportunity to give the glad hané to the Brother in Black. He too has failed. The Negro once had a chance at civil service appointment in San place and he was thrown out for good it seems. Mayor Rolph has been blissfully asleep as far as this matter is concerned. ‘The third candidate, Mr. Fitts, de- serves the Negro vote.’ He has shown Us some consideration. No matter what the motive, he has done it. | Pellowmen, af the Negro race, when you go to the polls next Tuesday, be Yeminded of the fact that District At- tormey Fitts remembered us by ap- ‘one of us to the very impor-| position of Deputy District At- =) GEORGE REDMON ‘Sergt.-at-Arms L.

The story was that she knocked on the door of juvenile hall at the age of 12 years. She ig now 23. Driven from home by a step mother, she has been the prey of the street these years, Each time the usual re- Because of the pressure of demands ade upon the Welfare Division of the jounty Charities during the last few ‘months, the rapid expansion of busi- ness resulting has caused the present business system of ‘that,department to become inadequate for efficient and €conomic_ operation. In order that greater efficiency may be had, it is nec- sary that a careful survey of the ac- counting system of ‘the County Wel- fare Department he made at once, thereby preventing duplication an¢ fraudulent transactions which are pos- sible, under the system now in use. At the suggestion of Mr. W. H. Hol- land, Superintendent of Charities, the County Auditor is to be instructed to make an immediate and thorough sur- vey of this branch of the Charities De- partment in order that a re-organiza- ‘tion may be. made possible soon. Mr. ‘Holland has made considerable im- provement along these fines but owing to the nature and volume of the work involved a thoroughly efficient oper- ation cannot be obtained until the County Auditor works out a more economic business system. Figures) for the fiscal year 1929-30 show that $2,469,518.00 was handed through this department, and that dur- ing the fiscal year 1928-29 over 95,000 individuals were aided. This year's figures due to conditions will far ex- ceed these and a comparison gives an idea of the. magnitude of the business handied im the Welfare Dept. To- day, there ‘are approximately 11,000 active charity cases, monies for ‘the care of which are disbursed through this division which is handling.on an. average of 600 orders daily. FITTS FOR GOVERNOR CLUB ALAMEDA COUNTY Dear Friend: T am a staunch supporter of Buron Fitts for Governor for the folowing ‘reasons: Because of the courage he has des- played in the office: of District Attor- ney and his broad and liberal policies extended to all groups and classes. His appointment of Leon Whitaker as Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles, the first appointment of ‘its kind ever give nto one of our group by an executive of City, County or State, has convinced me of his leberal and unprejudiced attituce toward all classes. After a* careful survey, I _am thoroughly gonvinced that Buron Fitts will receive, the greatest political :con- sidetaticn icwer -wiveh..o -chedidath chy Friday, August 22, 1930 comengation without a place to go has been a sentence to jail. Then turned ‘out on the street. This just Judge then said—"I think it 4s Gaeace that Los Angeles County would not provide a place for women beings in ay sitwa- tion to have a chance to make good citizens of themselves.” r He said fyrther—“that even cats and dogs were taken care of but this pentitent young women yearning for an opportunity and-chance could find no! place to lay her head.” In other words the law provides fio relief for delinquent girls. It was then that a woman attorney stepped forwara and gave a check to asstre temporary shelter for the young woman at the Y. W. C. A. Policewoman Edwards reports to us that she later found a place of em- ployment with sympathetic person, the young woman is happy and declares it's her life's ambition to make good— and ‘thanks*the judge and all parties who. interested themselves: in giving her a chance. : El Centro, Aug. 19 (Spectal)—Bur- on Fitts will carry Imperial County according to Russell Bennett, editor of the oltville ‘THibune, who has. fust completed a survey of the political ‘situation in the valley. A newspaper poll of Imperial Val- ley shows that four newspapers are pledged to the candidacy of Buron Fitts, Bennett declared, including the oltville Tribune, Calexico Chronicle, Westmoreland Mail, and Calipatria erald. Only to nespapers have pleds- ed their support to Governor Young, file to have made no definite express- fon. w Bennett commented upon the state- ment by Mrs. Berdie Hobdy, recorder ct Imperial County, who predicted that the Valley will give C. C. Young 85 per cent of its vote. He pointed out that Mrs. Bobdy is an avowed Demo- crat and attended the National Demo- cratic’ Convention in 1928. FITTS GETS AID OF COLORED VOTERS. Colored voters of Los Angeles city and county are among the staunchest supporters of Bumon Fitts in his can- didacy for the gubernatorial nomina- tion qn August-26. The California Bagel and Pacific Defender, two lead- ing colored newspapers of Southern California, and the California Voice, the leading; colored newspaer in the Northegn section of the State, have already endorsed Fitts’ candidacy. The Republican Study Club Council, and organization of colored women representing 17 units and a member- ship of more than 2000, has pledged its support to the District Attorney. All persons who are interested in East Side Repjesentation in the State Assembly are urged to attend a meet- ing at People’s Independent Church, Corner 18th and Paloma Streets, Sun- day afternoon at three o'clock. the coloredsvoters of California, and I sincerely trust. that you and your friends wil make yourself a committee ai one to work in behalf of the no- mination of Buron Fitts for Governor at the August 26th Primary.

VAL VERDE NEWS Social activities of last week centered around the owing and dance given by the younger set last Saturday evening at the Val Verde Club House. Although the affair was by invitation and had been in the arranging for weeks upon the arrival at the park, by the masterly invitation of the only Charles Martin, formality was dispensed with and joy was unconfined. All the accumulated gaiety up for a week past on account of giving up their date on the previous Saturday night to the older set seemed to burst forth and from the time of arrival Saturday evening until the final departure Sunday noon there as just one continual round of pleasure. At the wee hours when the dancing ceased the girls repaired to various homes for a few hours rest and the boys found it more desirable to spend the time roaming about the canyon in fresh air Taxies or "What have you?" One in particular being Mr. Willie Middleton. At an early hour they assembled at the pits and tables where the girls had prepared a delicious breakfast after which gayety again was resumed. Mrs. Bruce entertained at her cabin over night the Misses Ellsworth, Ruth Harrison, Thelma Hardin, Alma Thomas and the Misses Iverna Anderson and Marian Dunlap, both of Sacramento, Calif. The Misses Mae and Helen Turner who labored so hard to make the affair a success entertained at their cabin the Misses Corine and Rita Merschal, Faye Williama and Vivian Howard.

MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. (By A. N. P.) Chicago, Aug. 19—Chicago's South Side settled back somewhat to normalcy this week as it slowly recovered from the hysteria which gripped the entire colored district as the result of the closing of the Binga State Bank. Before the flurry was over however, two other financial institutions had closed their doors, the Roosevelt-Bankers, controlled by the Flowers Brothers, Jews and located at 47th and South Parkway, and the Citizens Trust & Savings located at 55th and State streets, operated by whites but having a colored employee or two. The panicky feeling spread until it caused large withdrawals from every bank in the district, threatening institutions which were entirely strong and sound because of the weakening of their positions by the lessening of cash reserves. By Monday, however, conditions were reported as returned to normal. Meanwhile, plans for reorganizing the Binga Bank have been held in abeyance until the state auditor's report can be a task which is expected to consume ten days longer. A committee of the bank's board of directors has been appointed to work out plans for reopening. On the committee were named C. N. Langston, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, Dr. U. G. Dailey, Col. John R. Marshall, and T. R. Webb. While these directors were not talking for publication, privately most of them say they are hopeful of reorganizing and reopening. One or two predict a receivership. Former President Jesse Binga has been inaccessible since the crash but he has signed over his property, and stock, and equities in various parcels of real estate to Chas. S. Jackson as trustee to be used in an effort to realize on them and remove from the bank the frozen or slow assets belonging to Mr. Binga. The securities and equities turned over are said to represent a valuation of $311,000. Steady and determined runs during week and were dinner guests at the cafeteria. Mrs. John Redmend and daughter, of Chicago and Mrs. S. E. Love of Chicago, were special dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bell at the Community House last week. Mrs. Joseph Shaw is in San Diego this week attending the annual session of the U. F. Lodge of which she has been an officer for many years. Among the past week's visitors at the Recreational Building were Rev. and Mrs. E. E. Lightner and little Equest E. Jr., Miss Gertrude and Venus Rogland of Birmingham, Ala., Dr. and Mrs. Geo. D. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hawkins, Arnold Williams and Brother, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Lattimore, Newell D. Eason, Lloyd C. Griffith, Miss Beulah Coles, Mr. and Mrs. J. Dnismor), Mrs.J. Donglass Pembroke, Leon H. Washington, H. Arthur Provost and Miss Ethel Taylor, Horace M. Bowen, Mrs. L. Miller, Miss Bessie and Master C. J. Clifford. Mr. and Mrs. E. McCauley, have moved in their beautiful new home on Morganside Drive. It is nicely furnished in keeping with the modern construction of the house. They have also bought a number of trees, plants and shrubbery and will soon have a yard with growths equally beautiful. which frightened depositors, disturbed by the wild rumors that other banks with large Negro deposits, were unsafe, withdrew their funds were the immediate cause of the closing of the two white banks. Roosevelt Bankers, an institution which was the result of a merger of two banks controlled by the same interests, had a large number of colored stockholders and depositors. It had been fighting rumors of unsoundness for some time. The Citizens Trust and Savings in recent months had been seeking buyers to take it over. It is reported that it would have survived, however, except for a terrific run made upon it. The rest of the banks in the district withstood the strain well. The Douglass National, while it suffered large withdrawals as did the others, showed surprising strength. President Anthony Overton reported many new accounts secured from the closed institutions. The support of the federal reserve bank which sent cash together with a belief of the people that a national bank is backed by the government both operated to help the Douglass. The Lincoln State Bank, 31st and State, an institution with a mixed board and with a number of colored stockholders, stood a devasting run, finally invoking the 60-day clause restricting withdrawals of savings. The Industrial at 47th and State followed the same course. Most of the patrons who withdrew accounts placed them in down-town institutions. It is reported that the Roosevelt Bankers will not open again. Officers of the Citizens Trust say they will reopen within the month. The task which faces the reorganization group of the Binga Bank is a huge one. he bank examiners want $430,000 worth of paper removed If this is replaced by cash the bank can reopen. These mortgages and notes while not liquid now are said to be reasonably certain of collection or renewal over a period of three to five years. $75,000 of the amount is said to be involved in foreclosures with probable additional valuation resulting. Chas. S. Jackson's name has been mentioned in connection with the proposed reorganization which if carried through would mean a change in the bank's name. Mr. Jackson is a successful undertaker who also has engaged in various lines of business endeavor. He owns 277 shares of Binga Bank stock and is said to have loaned Mr. Binga $70,000 personally. He is interested in banking having been slated for president of the proposed South Parkway National Bank which Mr. Binga was engaged in promoting last year. He also headed a syndicate which some months ago had considered buying the Bankers' State Bank. The directors of Binga Bank were called to the state auditor's office Monday morning. No report was available the auditor saying the examination would not be finished for a week longer.

Call Painter and Paperhanger 974 E. 10th St. TUcker 1487 Page-Five The Metropolitan Water District to be Taxed 3c Per Hundred Needs of the Metropolitan Water District for the current fiscal year will be met by a tax levy of only three cents on $160 of assessed valuation, according to a report of the finance committee adopted yesterday at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the District. The assessed valuation of property in the District in the coming year will be $2,184,243.675; it was stated. The report was submitted by the finance committee composed of John R. Richards, Harry L. Heffner, Geo H. Hutton, Paul E. Schwab and Franklin Thomas. Commenting on the report, W. P. Whitsett, Chairman of the District's Board of Directors, said that although the District was authorized by law to levy a tax of 5 cents on $100 of assessed valuation, the Directors have adopted a policy of reducing the amount of the taxes to the absolute minimum. "The need of Southern California for water is so vital and urgent," he declared, "that every effort is being made to advance the work of the Colorado River Aqueduct project. In doing this, Chief Engineer F. E. Weymouth is effecting such economics of organization as to keep the tax rate even lower than that of last year which was only four cents on the hundred dollars." The task of building the great Metropolitan Water District Aqueduct in an efficient and business like way is being rendered easy by the high caliber of men who have been appointed to the District's board of Directors by Mayor Porter o. Los Angeles and by one mayors of the ten other cities of the District. Chairman Whitsett said. Chief Engineer Weymouth said the Board of Consulting Engineers appointed to pass upon the route the Aqueduct is to follow, will meet in Los Angeles in November for the purpose of making their final report. Meanwhile, he said, engineers on his staff are sitting many engineering problems connected with the ultimate choice of a route for the great water carrier. One of the most difficult of these problems, he said, is the question of terminal reservoirs and the distribution of the water to the member cities. Nominate Negro For Kansas Legislature (By: A. N.

It ts a relic of deep born prpju dice and hate calculated to stir up the passions of men and women. It was and is still used by such pernicious and violent characters as old Ben Tillman (who is gone), Tom Heflin of Mississippi. They figure it ut and find they have nothing 19 commend them and they raise a hue and cry about black domination, preach hate and intolerance. The ignorant redineck and bill bil- lies of those states get all het up— the argument wins. It_will not get ghe Negro opponents of Fitts anyvhere jor the California electorate is too smart. They know the thought is “hog wash” dished up for the gullible, and ignorant. “If not Fitts—Who?” You must give A. P.

Thatcher of Pomona, can- didate for Los Angeles County Super- visor from the first district, has re ceived the preterred endorsement o! ‘the most infitential civic organization in the county} with the announcement today that the Municipal League of Los Angeles has backed Mr. Thatcher with a powevful statement. Endorsement by the Municipal L2a- gue cannot be bought and is only given after the representative civic organization has made the closest an- alysis of the candidate and his plat. form. The Municipal 1e also in- quires into the men and /gbrporations, it any, that are backing ndidate. Decision on endorsement “is withheld until an elaborate questighnaire has been answered by. the jeaiididate and until after the candidate has personal. ly appeayed ‘before the League for further questioning. Tn preferring Mr. Thatcher to oth- er candidates for first district super- visor, the Municipal League said: , “Hugh A. Thatcher, preferred. Age 53; attended U. S. C.; capitalist and ‘rancher; manager of extensive Cur. rier estate; leading citizen of | the eastern half of the county. "Mr, Thatcher has no entangling political allianges snd while he is targely ‘tin ancing his own campsign he is do- ing it along conservative lines which Dapniath icin | esti cenene Bee the chamge that he’ is buying the office. ‘At considerable personal sacrifice tre ‘has accepted the invitation to run as a matter of civic duty.

He is one of the. few cam @idates who shows calfbre equal to ne requirements of the office.” The Municipal League's. endorse- ment today came as a climax to gen- eral backing which Mr. Thateber has previously received from. women's or- ‘ganizations; civic, fraternal and brotherhood yroups; and a large host of influential east Los Angeles Coun- ty men and women.

SE Si ee reer ee EDITORIAL PAGE (-=3=—] SPECIAL ARTICLES THAT LAST SHOT GOT HIM— If anything was lacking to demonstrate why the members of the colored group of voters would not rally to the Rolph standard it was the Sims affadavit published exclusively in thi paper of last issue. They say now—eurely Rolph could not expect our votes, if the Company for which he is the general agent, will not issue us policies in his accident insurance Com pany for no other reason than the color of our skin. Therefore they say away with Rolph. They say Governor C. C. Young would not trail with the other governors of the north in refusing extradition to a mob ridden state and gave up GLASS who is this day among the missing from the Oklahoma prison... They say further no‘man was ever known to have escaped from this Prison and as a consequence poor GLASS has now gone to the home from whence ino man returns the victim of the treachery of Okla homa officials. : They say further the JIM CROW boxing commission which could in one*minute put a stop to the JIM CROW arena at Hol. lywood is but a gesture of the estimation which Governor Young places upon the colored people. Therefore there is no one left to vote for except BURON FITTS, the man of destiny who has demonstrated beyond all per adventure that he is the PEOPLE’S MAN, who stands for all men up and no man down. Truly he is the man who will righten all wrongs and has the stamina and courage to admin- siter the affairs of this great State as no other aspirant in the last quarter of a century. DON’T TRADE WHERE YOU CAN'T WORK. cep the thought and act accordingly, the proposition of your economic freedom is at your door and the solution is to use Judgment when you spend your money just like any other sen- sible person would do. We cannot expect to be carried upon the laps of luxury or can we hope to be economically free until we can by offering our trade as an inducement to fitms to give employment to our people. Further we must so act, organize and patronize that we can build and maintain business Propositions of our own. Therefore the slogan as appears above must bé our pass word from time evermore or until the objective is gained. BATTLE FOR ECONOMIC FREEDOM— Just a little bit lagging has been the campaign for econom- ic’ progress as the fiercely contested political battle has raged for the past few weeks. This being the closing week we shall be from now on be right on the job battling the best we can for economic freedom. Rest assured the part which the California Eagle has Played in the present gubernatorial contest, is right in line for a place for our group in.the affairs of government, to the end that it will be possible for our citizens to procure a just portion of the work which is given out. by our State and for which we are taxed. We are sincere when we advocate the election of a man who has demonstrated he stands for all People to have a break “Tin the affairs of government. * There is not another candidate who measures up with Fitts in this respect and our voters simply are against them-| selves when they support either Young or Rolph in the present |, situation. f “ust a little bit lagging has been the campaign for econom- ic’ progress as the fiercely contested political battle has raged for the past few weeks.

STIMULANT TO PROGRESS on pees Pariance there is a term “cayeat emptor” which means “let the buyer beware.” And that does not single out any class of uyers. There are people in Los Angeles who buy everything at home and from home-town merchants. And there are mer- chants who buy their advertising fram the newspapers and other mediums of their own community. And then again there are people in this community who buy very little at home, thoughtlessly spending their money out of town where it is lost to the community. Those who buy at home benefit the community by keeping their money at home and reap ayo ae of buying from busi- ness enterprises that for their very existence, upon their reputation for fair prea The home-town merchant gives his patrons and his comnmunity the fruits of his industry and his community’s patronage. The same principle, which urges people to patronize the lo- cal merchant who has his money invested where it serves them mest, should urge the merchant to advertise in the newspapers of his community. This paper boosts Los Angeles and its peo- ple, institutions and business. It is a fixture, with a heavy in- yestment and dependent, for its existence as a booster, upon the patronage of the community. - Merchants advertise in newspapers to increase their bus- iness, Consumers read newspaper advertisements that they may buy with the least expense of time and effort and most ad- vantageously bath in respect to price and quality. Both adver- tiser and buyer forget that this advertising makes possible the newspaper that brings them the news of the day and provides one of the chef stimulants to community growth and better ment, - § eT.

There is more to see on the sunny side, and it is more worth seeing. 7 _ There arg only two reasons for gazing at ugly things; either that we may more fully now evil when we meet, even in gilded robes; or that we may grapple with it and blot it out.

And the people, approaching them and viewing them in that happy frame of mind, find that some of the sports are better than others but all of them are good. Americans have the time and the money for indulgence in sports of all sorts both as players and as spectators.

The Mayor has been returned to office for two decades on the “build complete,” Hetch Hetchy, slogan.

GETS BIG PART IN NEW FILM ‘When “Barber John’s Boy” just completed at Warner Bros. studio has gone through its final stages of pre- Paration and is released to the public the veteran colored stage actor and comedian Joh Larkins will leap into fame greater than he experienced ev- en in his palmiest footlight career. “Jolly Jobn Larkins” as he has been known for years on the stages of Am- erica, Europe and Australia is at pre- sent making his home in Los Angeles, living at 805 E. Adams Street, and like “many former stage celebrities working in pictures. Seeming almost to avoid the fimelight it takes con- siderable maneuvering to get him start- sd talking of his past. experiences. ZEIGFIELD AND GUS HILL SPLIT OVER HIM John started back in the old days when an actor had to really deliver the goods depending little on lighting and stage effects to make the act click. As a black-face comedian he has figu- ratively-made the world laugh. He was the first colored man to be engaged on the Columbia Burlisque circuit lat- er starring in “A trip to Africa, later adding’ “Black Patti_as his co-star. Heading “Gus Hill's Follies” when the now famous Florenze Ziegfield was known as his partner, he was the cause ofthe two splitting up.over some little detail of John’s direction. Ziegfield op- ened up first around the corner star- ring Bert Williams but Larkins remain- ing with Hill held his own turning the crowds away nightly. The only colored ‘member of a famous English “Pier- riot” show he scored more triumphs in the old world. He lived a number of years in Australia, meanwhile touring to other lands. He was a good friend ‘of Galli Curci and accompanied the present Prince of Wales on his world tour some years ago. John reveals that the first colored taikie was really made with him some years ago at the old) Jane Melwood studios under direction of Alf Bouldin, with him in a part. Recently he has had parts in Thunderbolt, Sin Flood, Mamba and other features. Recently he was complimented highly for his work as bartender in Lula Belle. Larkin as “Bildad” in the new Warner feature is predicted to be great. The cast in this all star pro- duction includes Lucille Powell, female lead Phillip Holmes, leading’ man, with Grant Mitchell, Russel Simpson, Ottis Harlin and_others. Carrying the fongest dialogue in the script the story full of humor tragedy and pathos revolves of an aristocratic family in which John is coachman and butler. A gripping trial scene with “Biktad” on the stand is said to be greater than the “Trial of Mary Dugan.” An ex- pression of his as “Bildad” becomes an important part of the evidence and saves the scion of the family from the gallows. It is “I got a eve like ‘a | Eagle.” Feraci At San Diego | With the cheers of a multitude of Olympic fans -still ringing in his ears after upsetting the dope and beating ‘Benny Miller the Jewish sensation last week, Sammy Jackson is at San Die; ee So Charlie Feraci. mance!

At last local fans are to have an op- portunity to see a match between Jack McVey who came here predicted to jar the western middleweight camp, and “Ace” Hudkins who has been “cock-of-the-waik” around here for sometime. t They will meet at the Olympic Auditorium on August 26th in a match that should be worth going to see, that is provided the stocky black boy. from Chicago and points east proves tough enough for the claws of the Nebraska Wild-cat. It-will also be the first time most of the local fans have ever seen the almost idolize Hudkins. against any colored boy as he has boxed very few im his career. This gave rise to an erroneous repott two years ago that he dre wthe color ine Ou Young Harry Wills thed at his best when both were welterweights. Paes This the’ Hudkins boys hastened to deny through the colored press stating that “One Step Watson,”. Charlie Long and other colored Omaha fight- ers, had been their closest pals. He boxed an exhibition bout here against Harry (Eubber), Johnson for the Ur- ban League, Poor Kiddies Camp al- $0, McVey though a veteran seems’ to lack color and did not make much of an impression in his first start here against a green though popular Mexi- ‘can fightet, Jose Peregtina at White Sox Park for Carlo Curtis. He gained a decision over him but did mot dam- age the slugging Peregrina much. Con- sequently he has been idle here most of the time except for a few. small shots at‘ Southgate and other’ small clubs. ‘Hudkins has not boxed since losing a close decision to the ‘unorthodox Dave Shade on May 27th, The fact that ke’ was not under his brothers management then it blamed for that \Now he is back with Clyde, Art i co-manager’and Ab chief assistant te the famous “Cat.” Experts figure that McVey with hi unchanging style and slow foot woth |-will be easily. solved by the Nebraskas who leaps, whirls, sings slashes anc jabs relentlessly, like the wild-cat h is called.
