Throws Acid In Girl's Face
VOLUME 43
ON THE SIDEWALK
BY C. A. B.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a Jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.—Exodus 20:5-6.
* A JEALOUS RACE *
```markdown
```
I WONDER if we get out of this statement, "I am a Jealous God" the truth that is conveyed. I don't just now remember any teacher's explanation of the same, but to me it does not mean Jealous in the sense that we as a rule think of the word Jealous. The Master on the occasion of this writing was speaking to the children of Israel, those whom he had delivered from Egyptian bondage. To them He was saying I want you to lose sight of those false gods that you have served. I want all of your love and affection, and in return for the same I offer you clean lives and pure hearts.
What was offered to the children of Israel in that ancient period of history is extended the Negro race today; while we do not build gods of brass and silver we do set up within ourselves Gods of love for the things that too often destroy us, and Jealous Gods that keep us from seeing any good in our fellowman.
Even as the Jews were delivered from their bondsmen, so may we be delivered from our present economic depression if we will but recognize the GOOD or GOD, in all.

A WORD MAY HELP—
Here is a case where a word may help. KMIC Broadcasting station has been employing a goodly number of colored entertainers Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30 to 9:30 p. m.
You hear and enjoy them I am sure, but do something that will assure their employers that you appreciate their effort. Write or phone Jas.

PROMOTED
WE LEARN THAT Miss Gladys Harris for a number of years, the lone colored social worker of Los Angeles, after serving the county for something like eighteen years has been promoted to the same field in the State Social Service Department. Miss Harris' old friends in this city wish her continued and even more abundant success in her new field of endeavor.
ROYAL GIANTS PICK OF THE NATIONAL NE GRO BASEBALL LEAGUE WILL TRY CON CLUSION WITH SCINTILATING STARS-OF WORLD'S CHAMPION PHILADEL PHIA TEAM, ET AL
Local baseball fans are to be given the treat they have long been waiting for this year; that of seeing Leifty Groves of the Philadelphia Athletics, world's champions of 1930, in action at Wrigley Field Wednesday, October 29th, Groves will be with the All-Star major league club that is scheduled to appear in a series of three games at the local Coast League park starting on that date.
The All-Stars are coming to Los Angeles with the greatest exhibition club that has ever appeared here. Not only will that famous left hander be seen in action but Rube Walberg, also a star of Connie Mack's club, Bing Miller of the same club. Lefty O'Doul, one of the home run hitters of the National League, and many other stars of both the National and American leagues. In addition to all these great players the fans will be treated to an exhibition of comedy by probably two of the foremost baseball comedians of the age. Nick Altrock and Al Schact. These two funny boys of the national pastime have been appearing in world series games for more than fifteen years, in other words, they have been a part of the big games back east. Now they are traveling with the All-Stars and will put on their act for the pleasure of the fans at Wrigley Field. They promise to be highly amusing as this will be their first appearance locally in putting on their comedy.
Another important announcement that the promoters of the games have to make is that ladies will be admitted free to all the exhibition games played at Wrigley Field. The All-Stars will play three games there starting October 29th. All games will be in the afternoon starting at 2:15 o'clock.
The three games the major feaguers will play at Wrigley Field will be with the members of the Winter league that swings into action November 1st, at the local Coast league park. These games with the All-Stars will give the local baseball fans an idea of the class and strength that has been gathered for the winter baseball games.
The first game of the series with the All-Stars will be played by Lonnie Goodwin's Royal Giants. This honor has been given to the Giants because Godwin has had his players here for two weeks preparing for the first meeting with the star major leaguers. The Giants have been practicing seriously at Wrigley Field every morning and will be in first class condition for the initial clash with the All-Stars. Godwin has gathered the best players it has been possible for him to secure for every position on the diamond. He also has obtained men who will be extremely popular with the local fans for their skill in the field and their power at the plate. The men he has signed will show the fans something in long distance batting, particularly First baseman Suttles, who possesses a punch that is uncanny. Besides Suttles the Royal Giants have such stars as Mackey, Wells, Allen, Wilson, Britt, Dixon, Harris and many others.
As soon as the games with the All-Stars finish Friday, October 31st, at Wrigley Field the Winter League swings into action the following day, Saturday, at the same park with the Royal Giants playing Casey Campbell's Kelly Kars, a strong club, composed of former major and Pacific Coast League players. Three games will be played between these two teams in the opening series of the Winter league, on on Saturday and two on Sunday afternoon.
It has also been decided by the members of the Winter League to admit ladies free to all the games played at Wrigley Field every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. This is to comply with the policies of the Los Angeles club that has admitted the women free whenever possible.
Fred Haney, that well known and popular player of the Los Angeles club will manage the Kelly Kars. He and Campbell have been buoy in putting together a ball club that bids fair to stage a real hot battle for the championship of the Winter league. Not only have they secured effective pitch-

DESPONDENT GIRL TRIES SUICIDE
Prompt first aid treatment on the part of an ambulance squad following a call to Newton Station was necessary to save the life of Miss May Jeffers, 24th, and San Pedro, last Saturday morning.
She was discovered by a gentleman friend over whom she had frequently declared herself madly in love when he accidentally stopped by on the way to work. The strong smell and sound of escaping gas coming from her apartment when he knocked in vain prompted him to break in the door. He found her unconscious on the bed and a gas heater unlit but with jets wide open.
The room showed she had made careful preparations to take her life as dresses and other articles of her clothing had been tacked over transoms and windows in both rooms and furniture placed across the doors to prevent entrance.
Friends declare she had frequently threatened to commit suicide because of unrequited affection.
ers of the Coast league, but they likewise have signed plays like Wes Schulmerch and Walter Berger, boys with power, to play in the outfield along with Arnold Statz of the Angels, who is one of the greatest fly chasers that ever pursued the horsehide in the outfield.
Besides these slugging infielders Haney has also signed Fred Shellenbach of the Hollywood Club. Frank, one of the most popular pitchers in the Coast League, has had a great season on the ruber, and promises to give the other teams plenty of trouble. Besides Shellenbach, Haney also has engaged Ballou, Welsh and Gabler of the Angels.
William (Bill) Treager for Sheriff
On his record as the most progressive and efficient Sheriff which the County of Los Angeles has ever had. This office is recognized at this time as the most efficiently organized office of its kind in the United States. Sheriff Treager has inaugurated wonderful and outstanding reforms for prisoners and his road camps are models for humane reforms.
This Sheriff is truly the Sheriff for all the people, he functions for all alike; the poor, the rich, the black, white, yellow or brown are recipients of the same humane policy when his duty calls him to care for those who come his way.
Therefore the people should take no chances but rally to their colors at the coming election on November 4th and keep Bill Treager on the job where he belongs.

OUR CH
On last Friday a committee of citizens headed by Dr. H. Claude Hudson appeared before the Special Committee of the Police Commission to protest against the reinstitution of officer, Luther Weyant who unnecessarily shot and killed little Willie Teems who ran away as the officers approached a little penny crap game in an alley.
The committee jointly represented the local N. A. A. C. P., and the Los Angeles Forum. The editor of this paper was a member of the Forum committee, but was absent at this meeting on account of the fact of his trip out of the city. Others who made up the committee with Dr. Hudson were: C. H. Alston, W. L. Gordon, J. A. Lee, W. R. Knox, C. E. Smith and J. H. Shackelford.
The commissioners gave to the committee a courteous hearing and expressed itself as in sympathy with the position of the committee and it is expected favorable action will come forth from the commissioners as a result of the action of these two organizations in making this protest. A sidlight on the meeting was the appearance of Editor Fred Williams who took an opposite view to the organizations represented. However according to reports his cause was lacking of any support. To the contrary quite an alteration had to be stopped which arose over a statement made by W. R. Knox to the effect that the editor was not the author of his own editorial.
'The Whole Town Talks' Scores Big Hit
The Los Angeles Chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority attracted an immense crowd last Saturday evening to the Beaux Arts Theatre where they presented their fifth annual play "The Whole Town's Talking". As early as eight o'clock the Hot Chocolate Orchestra took its place in front of the stage and started aplaying that sort of music that causes young girls to wink and blink their shining eyes two or three strokes faster than other nature extended that they should. Young men to sip their shoulders as they steal sly glances at the girls, while each say to the other, O; for a chance, and the older folk who were present were not at all out of the picture, only you had to watch closely to discern their changing expressions and realize that even in their cases a little action; for instance a rythmic foot tapping beneath well drawn skirts satisfied the rising tide of emotion, in their subdued lives.
At 8:15 the curtain was lifted, and all eyes were turned on the well-arranged and typically comfortable living room of Mr. Henry Simmons (Vernon McCalla) and his wife, Mrs. Harriet Simmons (Majorie 'Bright'). Miss Bright and Mr. McCalla are both possessors of good voices, Miss Bright's in tone is melo-dramatic while Mr. McCalla's voice is easily modulated and free from rasping tones that often offend the ear on similar occasions. They were both very well fitted to their parts.
The opening scene was a rather heated argument concerning the future educational training of their daughter by the Simmons, who was studying in Chicago. Without any previous announcement of her return; in the midst of the parents discussion in tripped petite vivacious Ethel on the arm of Roger Shields a young Chicago Blood, and at this very point the plot thickened. While Shields was a man of many loves, in the matter of Ethel's affections, he did not care to have his affairs tampered with by Chester Binney, the girls father's business partner, but Henry Simmons was tied to Binney in many ways hence was determined that he should marry his daughter. In his present Social status Ethel never would have looked down on Binney which the father well knew, so he laid well his scheme, for which Ethel fell and became violently jealous of the nationally popular motion picture star, Letty Lythe, (Helen Wheeler Riddle). Mrs. Kiddle was charming in a flowing creation of black and white satin and in this drama fitted her part as perfectly as did Helen of Troy in her life's drama. "The Whole Town's Talking" the three act force was sizzling in interest from start to finish, and each performer was far from being a mean actor.
The others in the play: were Donald Swift motion picture actor and fiancee of Miss Lythe, Leta Wilson (Winona Winger) Sally Otis (Vesta Edwards) Annie, the Maid (Carmelta White), Sadie Brown (Elizabeth Payne), Taxi-Driver (William Houston) Mrs. Jackson (Georgia Boswell).
For the success of this affair too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Ursula Pruitt Adams and other members of the committee who assisted in making this drama both an artistic and financial success.
These dramas are given annually by the sorority to raise a scholarship fund that is given to worthy students who need educational assistance.
Los Angeles will always be on tip toe for the coming of these plays.
COLORED CHAIN STORE
Louisville, Ky.-The first colored Merchant's Association chain grocery store was opened here recently in the Gold Coast Building at 614 W, Walnut Street. The store is managed by C. H. Brannon. Other stores are planned for the near future. With this store in operation. The National Negro Bugnees league has been successful in establishing co-operative units in 12 cities.
When Elizabeth Gilbreath 13-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreath of 1195 East 40th Street answered the doorbell last Saturday evening an unknown youth threw acid in her face, as a result of which the little girl will probably lose her sight.
Will Lewis, a youth of the same neighborhood is being held on suspicion.
Bantappa Raw Love
Swindler Deported
A letter received a few days ago from Bantappa Raw written to a friend from quarantine off San Francisco Bay stated that he is in the custody of officers deporting him to his native India.
This marks the closing of a sensational episode that disclosed the fact that Raw living and associating with colored people conducting an elaborate studio on Ascot Avenue, hobnobbed with wealthy prominent white people and was received in some of the most exclusive society circles.
Practicing Hindo mysticism he gained a noted clientele and when he finally fell into the clutches of the law, the names of such celebrates as Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplain were linked with his on the front pages of the dales.
A young woman who accused him of winning her love and confidence to the extent that she parted with about $4000 which he used was the cause of his arrest, and subsequent disclosures.
Raw had a large acquaintance among his colored associates, but it seems he did not attempt to swindle any of them. When living in New York he played a little with the old Lafayette Players according to his reports.
Pioneer Business Man
Laid to Rest

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH HARRY
BEHIND The SCENES WITH HARRY
Why Not Muzzle The Press "STRANGE THOUGH it seems" and Believe it or Not," but the management of the beautiful Lincoln Theatre built for a family amusement, house expressed resentment at recent criticism this publication made of some unusually smutty jokes allowed at its last Mid-Night Show. Yet when the present management took over the old Rosebud Theatre about three years ago after it had lost all its patronage following the brutal murder of a colored boy by a Special Officer of the place, the California Eagle came to the front, encouraged and boosted it long before it considered Negro papers worth using as an advertising medium. This column wndt out of its way to drive in the fact "Under New Management."
The public be served, and the Negro public has changed. Modern Negroes do not accept anything offered them for their money these days. Witness the rebellion against the Woolworth stores in Chicago that taught that great corporation more respect for the black man's dollars. The same applies to theatricals.
HOTEL
If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
Years ago the average son of Ham would let out a loud hee-haw at a unutty joke. Now he demands good but clean comedy when in a Theatre with wife, mother or sweetheart, and accepts the risque jokes at smokers or similar occasions for which they are intended. Of course there are exceptions but a theatre is supposed to cater to respectable audiences, unless it prefers to have the other class rather than both.
Lack of discipline caused the well remembered tragedy at the Kosoband and it is only in good faith this publication wained against catering to uncoath, unlicensed acts of word or deed.
It really seems strange that those whose success depends on the patronage of the black man feel that it is "less majeste" to make the mildest criticism of them yet the white press never hesitates to severely score anything it considers not benevolent to the public.
For instance, the studios spend thousands of dollars weekly with each daily yet they are not spared in the criticism of the film previews. If they are gotten, the critics say so. For instance, Jimmy Slarr, famous theatrical writer of the Record sized up the following unreleased picture thus: "Steel Highway." Warners—Good. "Silver Horde," R. K. O.—Poor. "Under Montana Skies," Tiffany—Fair." And so on goes his advance frank but undoctored judgment of new plays, sometimes using the expressions, "tribiliic morbi," "sad," "inferior" and other unflattering terms. What do the studios do? Do they
footh at the mouth and tear their hair, breathe maledictions, and threaten machine gun retribution because they have spent thousands of dollars making the production? No, gentle reader, they get busy with retakes, thankful that the paper saved them from the loss of many more bucks, and realizing that it would be to their own loss to cut off from a widely circulated advertising medium. Pretty hard to muzzle the press. This is 1930, let the people be served!
THE COFFEE Grounds in the bottom of the cup, the cards, and the crystal ball, all show signs of a banner winter for extra work. But the most reliable sign of all is the number of plays signed up for production by the studios, most of which call for large numbers of "atmosphere" players.
With general business depression and grouchy butcher, baker and furniture men, those "seven fifties" and even "fives" will be as welcome as a harbecue sandwich on a barren island.
FOX STUDIO perhaps heads the list with eleven films being cast. Of these 'the man who came back' and a U-Boat story—"The! Seas Beneath"—started last week. The others are still preparing. It is not known yet just what ones will use colored extras.
PARAMOUNT COMES next with eight new productions being launched. The well known Oscar Smith, Paramount's well liked character is in for a busy season as he acts assistant director in charge of colored extras.
COLUMBIA HAS BEEN waiting for the weather to shoot a big convict scene in "The Criminal Code," a gangster and prison story with Philip Holmes star.
It is to be taken at Long Beach showing the convicts working in a big cotton gin. Prison breaks, gun battles, gang feuds, etc., take place. John Lester Johnson, nationally known heavyweight pugilist is to have a bit in this picture, and a large number of colored extras. Johnny Conde and Joe Ritchie well known white ex-pugilists will be working them in the gangster sequences.
UNIVERSAL HAS JUST about completed The Cohans and Kelleys in Paris." This film used many colored actors as natives.
"Ourang" at the same studio with Harry Garson director is on location in Borneo. It may use some local "natives" on return for studio ahots or to takes. This studio gave much work to colored extras when silent films were being made.
R. K. O. STUDIO has been keeping Cliff Ingraham so busy as a foreign Legion soldier in "Beau Ideal," sequel to "Beau Geste" that he wears his uniform and side-arms home from work at night. Fifty other race extras have worked in this picture during the past two weeks.
"REDUCING" at M. G. M. with Chas. Reisner directing used seven colored players last week as Pullman Porters. Same "Deacon" McDaniels, Richard Coleman, W. Adamson and others worked.
CIMMARON at R. K. O. with Richard Dix star had Irene Allen, Rose Penn, Lawrence LaMarr, Nathan Curry and others. Oscar Smith is a member of the cast.
TRADER GINSBERG a big new feature will have need of a considerable number of colored talent. It features Nat Carr and is directed by Mant Sandrich. Fifty Negro extras were used in this picture placed and directed by Mr. Smith.

"SWEET CHARIOT" BASED ONGARVEY
THE NEWEST NEGRO STAGE
PLAY COMES TO LOS AN-
GELES SHORTLY
The cast, a large one, is with but
four exceptions, colored, and is superbly acted throughout. Vivian Barber and Freddi Washington are partic-
ularly good; Alex Lovejoy, as King,
and Harrison Blackburn, as Futch,
afford the comedy and Percy Werwayn
helps to make up the surprisingly nt-
table cast.
The play is based on the idea of
Marcus' Garvey to colonize Africa
with American Negroes, and takes its
name from the well known spiritual
"Swing Low, Sweet Charlot."
"Bojangles Stops Show With "A Gunshot in His Shoulder"
New York, Oct. 20 (A.N.P.)—After the first wave of surprise swept over New York when the flash as received here that Bojangles Robinson had been shot, inquiry led to whether or not he would appear in the opening of his show, "Brown Buddies."
All rumors were quietly laid to rest when Mr. Robinson not only stopped the show cold with his dancing, but continued to outdo his past performances as the evening grew.
That "Brown Buddies" is due for a long run on Broadway is seen in the reception given the show by critics, the majority of whom are loud in their praise of Adelaide Hall, Ada Brown, and Robinson.
Billy McClain, Veteran Showman in West
A man whose life story would make an interesting book is visiting Ed Tolliver in Pasadena in the person of Billy McClain, veteran show producer, minstrel, boxing promoter and globe trotter. Billy whose name stood among the highest in the country before he retired tro mthe theatrical profession wrote and produced the first colored show of prominence the historical "South Before the War." He headed many minstrel shows and musical comedies, playing before royalty in Europe and tougling all the largest countries of the world; residing for some time in Australia, England and France. In Belgium he owned a large automobile business. Laser became interested in the fight game he managed Sam McVey and staged Joe Jeneatte and Sam Langford in Australia.
Settling in Tulsa, OKa., he conducted the Palm Garden, an amusement center, featuring weekly boxing with outdoor events at the baseball park. There he staged such notables as champion Pete Herman, Nate Jackson, Moore Leopold, Thompson-Langford, et al, bringing Harry Wills and others of the then leaders. Though owner of valuable property in Kansas City, Mo., he opened the McClain Bats recently in San Antonio, Tex. Billy came in the front for charity

$25,000 MISSING FROM
TREASURE OF PULLMAN
PORTERS BENEFIT AS-
SOCIATION OF AMERICA
O. E. Robinson Grand Secretary Arrested in Chicago Big Shakeup Predicted
Pullman porters belonging to the Pullman Porters Benefit Association Of America were considerably stirred up over the news that there treasure had been swindled out of approximately $25,000 by the Grand Secretary O. E. Robinson through a clever trick of forgery. According to local officials Robinson the Grand Secretary of the order would forge different porters names on sick benefit checks and cash them. The forgery was done in the following manner.
A local committee would mail in a just claim for sick benefits for one of their members who had probably been sick from two to three weeks. Robinson would make a duplicate of the claim to be paid, then he would pay the claim for the two or three weeks as requested, but would not close it up in the main office. He would in some instances carry it on for five or six weeks longer and instead of mailing the checks, wouri pocket them and have a confederate to cash them.
It was discovered that no other claims he deliberately forged porters names; Robinson's Secretary, a young lady was also implicated in the deal, but fled to Canada. She was apprehended later and put in jail after an attempt of suicide. Detectives for the bonding company which carried Robinson's bonds placed him under arrest. Coming as it does when local lodges all over the country are holding their annual election it has caused quite a little gossip and concern; rumors have been heard that a big change in the heads of the order will result from the expose. A shakeup is expected from Perry Parker on down to the office boy in the headquarters at Chicago. The names of several porters in this district were among some of the checks that were forged, this has been going on for some time and until a complete check up is made in every district in the country, the exact amount stolen can not be asserted, however it was reporte dito be well in the neighborhood of $25,000.
CHARLIE ALLEN PUT
BACK TO WORK
Some few months ago the writer published the news of the discharge of porter Chas. Allen 20 years in the service for missing on a car. I am now only to glad to publish the report that he has been taken back into the service again. Wilkie Carter who was laid off some time ago was also taken back in the service about two months ago.

WRITER STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE
It is not good journalism to write about one's self, but news is news. Last Sunday A. M. as the writer stepped from a north bound Vermont Ave. street car he was struck by an automobile and knocked three feet in the air finding himself in the Georgia street receiving hospital when he woke up, the worst of it, the fact that it was a sad and delapidated Ford that did the dirty work, and nary a dime could be squeezed out of the owner who was a gentile and knew a bargain when he seen one. If it had of been a Rolls Royce I might be relating a different story. Oh yes I am all healed up thank you.

Dad says if business does not pick up pretty pronto he is going to move to the city limits and dicker for a cow, anybody who knows anybody who has a nice lil of cow e has not got any more use for will please get in touch with the terror stricken rather. It's milk in the morning, and it's milk in the evening. Why it's milk the whole day long, and then it's milk in the middle of the night. Aw! that darn kid is the milkinest drinking baby I ever saw.

P. P. B. A ELECTION CLOSES WITH RECORD VOTE CLOSE RACE FOR SECRETARY
The final election of the Local P. P. B. A. was brought to a close Tuesday evening and what was considered a record vote was established at the polls. A lively battle was witnessed between the two candidates for secy M. B. Brazley and Wm. The迪勒 runing neck and neck up to a late hour Tuesday afternoon.
Theford made a whirlwind finish as an avalanche of votes from the rural district were cast in his favor, M. B. Brazeley claims fraud was in evidence in several of the precints and gunmen armed with black-jacks kept many of those who would have cast votes in his favor away from the polls, it is thought that an investigation will be started in Brazeley's benail and if fraud can be proven a re-count will be ordered, the count showed that Theford breezed in office by an overwhelming majority.
R. J. Murray apparently had little opposition for the office of delegate to the Grand Lodge and was elected by a large majority, A. Noel, past delegate from Local No. 1 was elected to fill the chair left vacant by Murray for Chairman. He will be assisted in that office by J. Bell, Sr., who was elected without opposition for Vice-Chairman. The man who will carry, and keep all of the money is none other then Dan Hood, elected Treasurer he will also be chairman of the sick committee an office formerly filled by J. L. Hill; The Grievian Committee were as follows, E. L. Arnau, M. B. Brazley, and J. T. Ambrose, the election was full of pep from start to finish and it is thought that a considerable increase in members will result from the leadership of the newly elected officers.
ITS YOUR TURN TO MOVE
DISTRICT TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AS PORTERS
START BUMPING
Where are you running now was the question that the writer heard from the lips of the various porters whom he chanced to come in contact with during his rounds last week, and hardly any one asked the question seemed to feel safe in giving an answer. Here today and bumped tomorrow was the cry.
J. E. Stafford started the ball to rolling when he selected the veteran C. H. Levy and bumped him higher than a school boy's kite, Mr. Levy finally landed on the ground and looked all about him and discovered H. O. Philips whom he bumped for the sake of revenge, H. O. determined not to be bumped clean off the Lark, turned as soon as as he got his bearings and bumped Eddie Meyers whom I understand has not stopped falling yet, if he has I can not get any trace of him.
This disturbance on the Lark created a turmoil among the little fish, and here they come, C. W. Craford having heard that Bumping Brown was an ex-poiceman, picked him out for a soft place to land on the Sunset and he bumped him from his steady income now Bumping Brown is a wise egg and always keeps a man handy that he can bump at will. So he in turn bumps J. Carter No. I from the Sunset, I am told that Carter has some picked out whom he can get but is waiting for storm to cease; he says a rolling stone gathers no moss. To further create confusion they pulled a car off of the Sacramento line, and what did they do that for Joe Holmes came out of the wreck with blood in his eyes and approached the Sunset crew's and told them Evry Tubl! And it had to be R. Bradford, who in turn picked out the Del Monte Run the little fish were eating up one another, Red Young bumped crying, Clark, Crying Clark, bumped King Johnson, King Johnson bumped Cliff Lair then here comes I. Franklin and did not give Johnson time to be assigned to the line before he bumped him, this left King no place to light where he could feel safe so he picked out a tourist car and bumped Jackson, now everybody is waiting for the next move, all eyes are focused on J. Carter who is running on the extra board, when he executes his bump which he has got coming the wheel will start to turning again and no one seems to have any idea just when it will stop going around.

Davis Perfection Bakery Agrees To Colored Saleswoman
NEW CENTRAL AVENUE STORE WILL ADD COLORED GIRL IN NEAR FUTURE
Hagelberg, with Leon Washington, and L. B. Granger, Urban League secretary. The conference was the outcome of negotiations which had been carried on jointly by TOWN TALK and the Urban League, in which the representatives of these two organizations had pointed out to the Davis Company management the desirability of recognizing the patronage of the many colored customers of the store by installing a colored sales force. It is to the credit of the company's officials that they readily recognized the justice of this stand.
Mr. Hagelberg stated that the new employee will be taken on on a part-time basis until she is experienced, as the custom of the company demands, and will be placed on full-time basis as soon as she demonstrates that she can master the job. "There is no bar," the advertising manager says, "to our using an entire colored force in the Central Avenue store and, in fact, if we experiment justifies it, this is exactly what we will do".
Thus the Davis Perfection Bakery fallows the lead of the Safeway Stores and is the second of the retail organizations in the Central Avenue District to prove itself thoroughly American in its dealings with its customers. It remains for te colored buyers of te East Side District to demonstrate their appreciation of this attitude by throwing their trade to the stores which recognize and appreciate their patronage, and by following the slogan which the CHICAGO WHIP made popular in its famous and successful campaign, "Don't spend your money were you can't find work."

WILL ADD COLORED GIRL
IN NEAR FUTURE
The Davis Perfection Bakery, which recently opened a new store at 3815 Central avenue, announces today that within a very short time the company will add a colored sales girl to its force in the new Central avenue store. This announcement was made in conference of te advertising manager, F. T. association is making a special effort to gather as many colored pickers as possible, for it has been his experience that the colored workers are the best ckers of short staple cotton.
The Arizona season is already well under water, as the crop there natured earlier than the crop in the San Joaquin Valley, and plenty of work will be available for workers until late in February. The excellent weather conditions, with no rain to hinder picking and with warm weather all winter long, have made the Arizona fields very popular with experienced pickers, and many families are planning to make the trip next week.
Free railroad transportation is furnished by the Association and the first shipment will leave on October 28th. The Urban League and the State Free Employment Bureau are both authorized to sign up prospective workers. Good cabins, with schools and church are assured those who make the trip, as Mr. Taber plans to send the newcomers to Buckeye, where there si a considerable colored population resident the year around.
NOW-before the cold weather sets in, install a Modern Unit-Type Gas Furnace. You will be surprised at the supreme heating comfort it will give you. Our Commercial Engineering Department, or your Dealer, will be glad to tell you more about the various Approved makes of Unit Gas Furnaces.

TO THE GIRL OF FOURTEEN
COVERING HER BODY—
The you are only 14-years-old it is my dear, very important for you to thoroughly understand the great harm done by a restricting coset. If the fashion planners have their way corsets and the old-fashioned idea of tight lacing will once more be to be faced by the women of your generation and now, my dear is the time to decide, not after you have gotten old enough to actually adopt the tight corset and have your body all deformed thereby.
THE HOBBLED FEET OF THE ORIENT—
No American girl or woman would think for one moment of binding her feet into the little deformed nubs which afflict our oriental sisters and yet when fashion dictates she will often do that which harms more vital structures by tight lacing.
CORSETS AND CONSUMPTION—
Last week we spoke of the compression of the lungs and the consequent predisposition to consumption. This has a very real meaning to the members of our race. Now the tubercular question has so stamped us as a race that it is hindering us in getting jobs and in public activity. If the other race wishes to decrease its living capacity we cannot prevent it but let us harbor and cherish the vital force within our lungs and not decrease it by restriction.
HEART DISEASE AND TIGHT LACING-
Another serious condition caused by the threatened evil tight lacing is heart disease. The heart suffers with the lungs from compression of the lower chest and the blood flow and the work of the heart is hindered. The dark, impure venous blood goes rushing from the heart to the lungs for purification. The lungs are so compressed that only a portion of the blood can get thru. The remainder crowded back into the heart, causing enlargement of that organ and thus producing heart disease. The individual then suffers from flutterings and palpitations of the organ, and a constant fear of sudden death may cut short her career.
MENTAL EFFICIENCY AND
TIGHT LACING
But this drawing back process extends far beyond the heart. The revnous blood, being crowded into the heart, finds its way back into the veins, and thus to the head, causing congestion of that organ, with all its dullness, pain, nervousness, loss of memory and mental efficiency.
The diaphragm, one of the most important muscles of inspiration is crowded up into the chest by the upward pressure of the abdominal organs, which are squeezed out of place by the vice which grasps them. This makes breathing still more inefficient and the expansion of the cavity of the chest less complete, adding greatly to the evils already mentioned.
Victory Over Woolworth Chicago Store
Last week's papers in many parts of the country carried headlines proclaiming VICTORY over the fact that the Woolworth Stores in Chicago had employed NEGRO SALES-WOMEN.
The writer wonders if your paper will submit to your readers through its columns, the several queries which he would like to have answered either by some of your staff or by some of your contributors.
It is presumed that the victory lay in the fact that twenty-one colored girls have secured employment as saleswomen, which not only furnishes a revenue of several hundred dollar-per week to Chicago's Negro working girls, but gives these girls an opportunity to gain experience in salesmanship, real practical salesmanship.
The writer is not disposed to minimise this as a decided advantage, but he does ask with lall sincerity, "At what price has this advantage been bought?"
If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened
Though You Played Not (TO M)
By HARRY LEVETTE
If you played not one note,
I still
Would thrill
At oulcet, slow breathed tones that
softly fall
So musically sweet when e'er you
speak.
Sweet music, from sweet lips, and sweet the thrall
It binds me with, nor would I freedom seek
Treat me with
With rippling fingers crost the cold white keys.
While cadence flows forth soulful,
vibrant, warm.
Then doubly I'm enslaved, Your rich
notes sieze
And hold me helpless in your wondrous charm.
When e'er you play.
Oh dear dream-girl!—God how
I've peered
Doubt seared,
Down high-ways, by-ways of the
world's far ends
Long seeking my ideal—at last, at last
I find you! Ah, my fond dream quickly blends
To real.—My hungry arms, they hold you fast.—My symphony!
NOTE: The above with a large collection of other poems and short stories are to be published this winter by the author. The work profusely illustrated will be done on the California Eagle presses, and titled "Voice of the Lynched and other poems."
Comments and preface will by Mrs. C. A. Bass, Mr. Orlando Northcutt former editor of the Evening Express, Chas S. Johnson, William Pickens, C. A. Barnett and others of literary prominence.
These girls have acquired this opportunity as the typical applicant for such a position secures, it but as an isolated group, serving an isolated group, in a segregated section of the city.
This move made by the Woolworth people, forced upon them by a state of affairs little less than deplorable, was inaugurated at the suggestion of Negroes, for the purpose of catering to Negroes, which latter have been compelled to occupy one section of the city, because they are "personae non grattissimae" amongst all human beings other than Negroes. Women and girls securing positions as sales people, in business establishments, because there is little else but Negro trade to serve, (and this article is dealing with the question as applies to states north of the Mason and Dixon line) is analogical to Negro women and men securing positions as school-teachers, because the children to be taught were Negro children exclusively.
Just as the price paid for securing Negro school teachers in many cities throughout the north, was an announcement to the world that Negroes were not fit to teach pupils in schools built and maintained for elementary educational purposes, unless the attendants at that school were Negroes, (or as occasionally appears, self-segregated foreigners, a la Los Angeles) just so the employment of Negro women as saleswomen in establishments where the trade is practically all Negroes, announces to the world that Negro saleswomen may be tolerated, when kept in a stores by themselves, and where they are called upon to serve only "THEIR OWN KIND." intermingling in industrial or commercial enterprises cannot be allowed, and yet the Negro press and the Negro pulpit fairly gloat over the great good, resulting from the many interracial conferences, that the being held country-wide.
Of what avail are interracial conferences in the light of interracial business opportunities, being heralded as a triumphant victory? Is this not commercial segregation in the superlative degree? And is not segregation the insumountable barrier that feeds and nourishes the superiority complex of the white man, and stunts and dwarfs the aspirations of the Negro, perpetuating in him the inferiority complex, which, vehement probests to the contrary notwithstanding, is a component part of his mental, moral, physical and even spiritual make-up?
"Wounto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like unto whited apuichers, which are outwardly beautiful but invaridely, are full of dead men's bones."—Matt. 23:27.

Three Songs Stand Out As Favorites in Mc Cormack's Story
AUDIENCES LIKE THEM ALL BUT REGISTER THEIR PREFERENCES
In "Song O' My Heart," his first audible picture for the screen, John McCormick, the world's greatest lyric tenor, sings eleven numbers, log-
ful,
ically introduced in the action of the delightful lyrical romance, which comes to the Tivoli Theatre on Sunday and Monday.
Through the medium of Fox movie-tone, the voice that has always been proclaimed great is considered to be made greater via the singing screen.
Of the entire repertoire, "I Hear You Calling Me," "Rose of Trailee" and "Little Boy Blue," are perhaps the most appreciated numbers.
"Little Boy Blue" is based on the poem by Eugene Field and set to music by Ethelbert Nevin. In singing "Little Boy Blue," Frank Borzage, who directed "Song O' My Heart," has deftly introduced a pictorial effect
Chest Campaign To Open on Monday
Looking ahead to the goal of $3,200,000.00 which must be raised in the Community Chest campaign this year. the main contingent of 15,000 volunteer workers active in the campaign will start early Monday morning on a city-wide determination to raise this quota in the shortest possible time.
Captained by leaders of Los Angeles civie, business and social circles the vast array of team workers will make their daily rounds of prospects in their respective localities and report at luncheon each day to various points.
Reports of the money collected on owed will be made at the lunchmeets and daily figures will be available as the campaign progresses. At the main report center, the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel, short speeches and entertainment have been arranged for each day and the gathering will be presided over by J. A. H. Kerr, campaign chairman.
In a final statement to the workers before they embark on their gigantic task, chairman Kerr said yesterday, "You should approach the people of Los Angeles with entire confidence in their generous support. While the depression in some lines of business will undoubtedly bring greater demands on the agencies during the coming year, I feel that the public understands this situation and will not fail to respond generously. It should be impressed on the people you solidify that their pledge need not necessarily be paid at the time of solicitation but can be extended in periodic payments throughout the coming year. We have made a good start with the solicitation of the

of a little boy, his dog and his toy soldiers, giving an added human touch. "I Hear You Calling Me," which is so identified with the great tenor that he rarely fails to include it as an encore during his concert program; is a composition of Charles Marshall with lyrics by Harold Hartford. "Rose of Tralee," is a Glover-Ditson number. "Song O' My Heart" is the sory of a broken romance, which mars the life of McCormack, a young and ambitious singer in Ireland. The girl, Alice Joyce, marries another, becomes the mother of a boy and girl and is deserted by the husband. In after years, McCormack appears in concerts in America, is a success and is booked from coast to coast, but, on the opening night of his concert tour.

he has a strange premonition that something is wrong across the seas. After the concert he learns that his former sweetheart died in Ireland approximately at the time a great audience was acclaiming his singing of "I Hear You Calling Me." He abandons the concert tour, goes back to Ireland and sees that the daughter of the woman he had always loved is happily married to the yong man of her coice.
In addition to Miss Joyce, the supporting company includes such favorites as Maureen O'Sullivan, J. M. Kerrigan, John Garrick, Farrel MacDonald, Effie Ellsler, and Tommy Clifford.

THE MUSICAL WEST
Conducted By
JOHN A. GRAY
The question of the National Negro Anthem has bobbed up again. It is unfortunate that our language is so deficient in words that express certain shades of meaning that we are compelled to use the same word for several things some of which are entirely opposite to the others.
The dictionary tells us that a nation is: the people of one country united under the same government; a race of people having the same religion, language, history, etc., and that national means; to, or peculiar to, a united people or country; as, National Government, National Characteristics, etc.
Italy, France, Germany, England, to mention a few of the great Nations of the world are composed of many different races but the form of government with a national language makes of them a nation. In France, for example, that part known as Brittany, is a province that is composed of a race of people who have a distinct language of their own and where a mass of the people do not even speak French. This is especially true of the older people. In Belgium, the racial languages are Flemish and Wallon, but French is taught in the schools and is used in commercial enterprises. There is no Belgian language. In Italy, The Romans do not speak the language of the Neapolitans or the Sicilians, and one might continue to present examples. The Italian language is spoken however by all educated persons and is used in the governmental activities. Thus a native of Southern Italy who goes to the north of his country is compelled to speak Italian in order to be understood. Imagine a native of Florida having to speak another language if he went to New York. The United States is the only large country in the world where everybody speaks the same language as a mother tongue. We mean native born people of course. There are many races however that make up the nation.
The Negroes are not a nation. We have no separate form of government or of National Defense. We are a racial group but our nation is the United States. We are in the same category as the Jewish people, the Irish, or any other racial group. Therefore, not being a nation we cannot have a National Anthem. Possibly the word national was used by those who named the said anthem, as in the same sense of nationwide. We do not believe that it was intended for the purpose of being a song for a nation that did not exist.
Our national lymn is supposed to be the Star, Spangled Banner, but even that was not officially accepted until last year by National Legislature. Or was it actually accepted? The question came up but we have not learned of the result.
The best thing to do is to leave the word National off, and call it the Negro Anthem, with emphasis on the "The."
The idea of standing is done principally because one is supposed to be saluting the flag which in turn is a symbol of the country or nation. Some people stand when the tune America is played. This is incorrect unless in a church or meeting where the audience is asked to stand. Under these conditions the song is in the same class as any other song or lymn, and the people stand from choice not at all from a patriotic motive.
San Diego's Forward Thinking
The Inter-Racial Council of San Diego, formerly the Inter-Racial committee of San Diego, is planning an interesting Program for the coming year. Among the activities will be the sponsoring of the Harmon Foundation's Negro Art Exhibit, to be shown in the Fine Arts Gallery, Balboa Park, the last two weeks of October. This year's Exhibit will be the Third Annual Contemporary Negro Art Exhibit sponsored by the Inter-Racial Committee in San Diego, those in previous years having created much interest. The collection this year comes through the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America and consists of about seventy pieces submitted in the 1930 contest of the Harmon Foundation open to Negro Artists in the United States. Included in the collection will be the bronze head "Ester" by Sergeant Johnson the Berkeley, Calif., sculptor, the terrac

America! America!
Shall I try praise, sing
After the lash of many years
Shall I thy praise, sing
At times, the past as quite bedimmed,
Its horrors, grief and hues,
Again, the land of liberty
The saint past renews.
America! America!
Some come to thee for gain
But those who toll and serve you best
Suffe sorrow and disdain.
Oft times, me-thinks 'tis not the land
Of joy and hope and peace.
The doors that stand ajar to some
Are closed and locked to me.
America! America!
When 'ere Old Glory waves
Does it unfurl to all alike
And points a brighter way?
Who said, "lift your voices high"
And glorify her name?
They are the chosen sons, I know
And haven't felt the sting of pain.
Americal! Americal
Art thou a beacon light
And sheds a ray of truth to all
That all ma ysteer aright?

The Inter-Racial Council was organized as the Inter-Racial committee of San Diego in the summer of 1927 through the interest of George W. Marston, as a voluntary committee of ten members, five white and five colored, whose whole hearted purpose was "to promote by every practicable means, kindly and just relations, educational, economic, social and creative Arts. between People of all Races. The colored members were: Mrs. J. E. Craft, president of local chapter of National Association for Advancement of Colored, People; Mrs. B. B. Banks, Mrs. Sla Ross-Hutson, Mr. I. L. Bennett, and Mr. Edward W. Anderson.
In September of this year the Inter-Racial Committee decided on a re-organization program which included the expansion of its work to provide for a general membership of persons of all races interested in a more satisfactory adjustment of Race-relations. The name was changed to Inter-Racial Council, and invitations have been given to organizations and individuals to affiliate with the Council. Plans are in progress to organize special committees of those interested in a particular Racial or nationality group. There will be a monthly meeting under auspices of one group which will prepare a dinner and a program characteristic of that Race or nationality. Meetings have already been held under auspices of the Chinese and the Filipinos, and in co-operation with the Indian Arts League. There will be no regular meeting in October because of the events conected with the Negro Art Exhibit; but in November, the Mexican or the Negro group will be hosts at a dinner meeting.
Among the distinguished members of the Inter-Racial Council at present are: Jügele Alfred Haines, George W. Marston, Sam Fox, Carlyle Buckner, Mrs. A. W. Power, Mrs. Ada Squier, Mrs. G. E. Shand, J. L. Hoffund, Miss Nellie C. Parsons, Major George B. Bowers, Dr. Charlotte Baker, Miss Ruth Regan, Mrs. Clara Butler, M. K. La, Mrs. Katherine Cox, Mrs. Ritza Freeman Reardon, David Gilito, Cutodio Subong, George Borst, Jr., Albert A. Stillman, Mayor Harry C. Clark, also the Young Women's Christian Association, and the International League for Peace and Freedom. On Mrs. Porterfield's return from Europe, she will serve as Vice-Chairman of the Council.
Office hours are held on Thursday afternoons in room 23 of the Community Welfare Building, and appointments for other times may be made with the secretary of the Council, Miss Nellie Foster, Phone Hillcrest 2820 J, in San Diego. Anyone interested in helping to create better Inter-Racial understanding in and among our Pacific Coast States diverse people; is invited to Membership in the Council, and information regarding the Inter-Racial Council will gladly be given by Mnss Foster or other members.

Congress of Parents and Teachers
LOS ANGELES TENTH DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
Thousands of children in need of medical care, clothes and food were found in Los Angeles public schools during the month of September, the opening school month, the reports to Mrs. James K. Lytle, Tenth District president from her Child Welfare director, Mrs. L. S. Rounsavelle, revealed. This is one of the notable activities in Parent-Teacher work although it is only one of the seven major departments. Each of the 223 Parent-Teacher Associations with the Tenth District carries on this work, feeding, clothing and the care of the needy in the schools of the neighborhood associations.
The number of children receiving medical care during the month of September were: five thousand seven hundred and thirty-six, of these two thousand eight hundred and thirty-three were free and two thousand nine hundred and three were paying part cost. The total number of treatments were, fourteen thousand and fifty-nine.
Eleven thousand seven hundred and twenty-nine received dental treatment, there were three thousand, nine hundred and thirteen cases and twenty dental X-Ray.
Ninety-seven children received glasses and of these thirty-two pair were given free and sixty-five partly paid.
Children assisted with clothing were one hundred and ten; two hundred and eighty new garments were given to these children and eighty pairs of shoes.
Nine hundred and forty children were given milk daily and four hundred and two were given churches daily.
During the month of September eighteen scholarships were granted, the amount expended being $197.50.
This work increasing each year in volume gives to Los Angeles not only national but world leadership in such activity.

Co-operating with this organization is the Southern California chapter of the National Aeronautical Association and the California Aircraft Industries Association. Leaving Los Angeles on the morning of Oct. 29, twenty-two cities up and down the State will be visited. These cities extend as far north, as Bed Bluff and as far south as El Centro.
The first California Good-Will air tour of last year was widely recognized as outstanding among all other air tours because its fundamental purpose was one of good-will. It was not obscured by peculiarity gain on the part of either sponsors on the participants. This tour will be handled identically. New cities have been added. New interest is indicated and new accomplishments in air travel will be attained.
Edsel Ford, in commenting on the California air tour has said: "The California Good-Will air tour is a movement far reaching in its scope. Its plan of operation is both sound and ideal. Would that the Ford Tour could embrace various phases which, in my opinion, is more practical."
The tour, itself, will be limited to sixty planes.

The "Hiawatha" of Coleridge-Taylon in costume has become an annual event at the Royal Albert Hall of London. The performance is given as a spectacular pageant rather than as a opera and each year it has had a considerable "run". The series began this year on Whit Monday. With relays of eminent soloists for successive evenings, and with Chief O'Kenonton interpolating native Indian songs at appropriate intervals, there is small wonder that this very colorful score should make a strong appeal.

PLAYMATE
(TO D)
To night you came and sat with me;
"Twas such a pleasant tete a tete.
I wore white linen you were oressed,
In flawless garb and looked your best.
The music o'er the radio
Was perfect playmate as you know
The atmosphere was perfect too
The lights were red and gold and blue
At first I was a little dazed
As on your handsome face I gazed,
Was it the dimness of the light.
A magic word carssed the gloom
That filled my restful setting room
Your deep sweet voice droned leisurely,
It's mellowness enchanted me.
We talked of subjects near and far,
Of motor plane and motor car,
Of tapestries and waxen flowers.
I kept you here long after hours.
You draped a scarf about my waist,
A hungry smile played on your face,
I pressed your fingers, slender, brown.
And then I thought I saw you frown.
You placed both hands about my head,
And most dramatically you said
"Girl friend," I'm weary of this game
We've found so difficult to name.
Then suddenly you made your flight,
I followed you out in the night,
I asked you why you spoke so strange.
But not one word did you exchange.
You kissed my lips, my throat. my hair
And left me mutely standing there.
At once, I knew you were no toy,
You were a man and not a boy.
I crept indoors and sweetly flurished
My estwhile pride was some how crushed
I crept in bed, but not to sleep.
Until the dawn began to peep.
I thought about the night you drove,
Me out to meet another love.
Was my indifference hard to bare,
Please tell me Playmate did you care?
Have I been ruthlessly unkind
While I was so completely blind
You've been my sweetheart, friend,
and tool.
And I have been an erring fool.
The sales office has been remodelled and returned, with desks, rugs, pictures and up to date maps of the tract, and the surrounding grounds have been cleared out and Decorated with tables, benches, sales flags, while a large 4 x 6 American flag floats from the pole on the lawn. Versatile Frank Browder is in charge of the office and is perhaps the best generally informed resident in this district.
At the park, the Edison Company are connecting the power for the pumps recently installed at the two new wells each of which have been covered with beautiful new zinc inclosures. The well at the lower park will supply water to supply the large reserve tanks and the well at the park proper will supply water for domestic purposes and the lawns.
A consignment of trees—35 Quercus Agul Zoha, 12 Fuchia and 50 Latvia, together with about 100 plants of various kinds have been delivered at the park. The plants are larger and have a beautiful bloom. They will replace the hedges that circle the lawn in front of the pavilion. This delivery is just the beginning of many that will follow for the feroesting by the time of the winter rains.

KNOW THE TRUTH!
To Business Organizations and Civic Clubs in California, CURB THE LOAN SHARK
IMPROVE BUSINESS AND PROTECT THE NECESSITOUS BORROWER - VOTE YES, PROPOSITION No.10-REQUIRE LEGISLA TIVE REGULATION
Proposition No. 10 is one of vital importance and worthy of careful and serious consideration on the part of the voters. It has to do with the amendment of the Usury Law, and in the consideration of that subject one must consider the following elements:
1st—That Usury Laws are laws against fraud and oppression. The theory upon which the law proceeds is that the necessities of the borrower deprive him of his capacity to contract, and give to the lender an unfair advantage.
2nd-That within the purview and theory of Usury Laws there are two kinds of loans, commercial and compulsory.
Commercial loans are those that are made for the purposes of promotion, engaging in business, or for the commercial advancement of the borrower or his enterprise. They are made usually in large sums and with anticipated profit to the borrower as the initiative.
Compulsory loans are those that must be made to obtain the necessities of life, such as food, clothing, shelter, medical aid, etc. It is in in this class of loan involving the essential needs of life, liberty and happiness, that produces a state of mind in the borrower wherein he will agree to pay any price. The size of such loans ranges from $10.00 to $300.00. It is with compulsory loans that the loan shark evil is a condition and not a theory. None can successfully dispute the social and economic need, or the advisability of sane small loan legislation. The small loan
The small loan business is necessary and is only wrong in the manner and to the extent in which it is carried on by the loan shark. Our existing law has made it possible to carry on the business with great profit to the shark, and makes it almost impossible for legitimate capital to engage in the business by fixing the rate so low for this class of loan, that only a quasi criminal element or "bootleg money lenders" will or can operate. There is no small loan company, to my knowledge, that can or does operate within the Usury Law.
It has been found in some twenty-five states that this evil can be successfully combatted by the enactment of a uniform small loan law. One can find many objections to paying interest, but we cannot overlook the need for loan in necessity, or the fact that a hundred dollars is better than the promise of a hundred dollars when things go wrong. So let us give an opportunity for regulation.
Opposition to reasonable small loan laws comes from two sources, the uninformed and the loan shark himself, who knows that once an effective, workable and reasonable law profitable to lender and fair to borrower is enacted, his system of extortion is doomed. Many lending institutions, seemingly within the law, do not want competition and therefore are opposing this law, hoping not to be attacked.
In California the small loan business is nearly 85% in the hands of the loan shark, who receives for this class of loan from 10% to 25% in per month. Under the present law it is possible by device and subterfuge to obtain the above rates and still be cloth- ed with semi-legality.
PROPOSITION NO. 10 on the NOVEMBER BALLOT clarifies the law as to corporation loans and building loans, but in no way raises the rate, and it also makes possible the enactment by the legislature of a uniform small loan law, Russell Sage or otherwise, which provides protection to the borrower and assures the engagement of legitimate capital in the small loan business, with which the loan shark cannot compete; such a law would license the lender; give authority to a supervising official to grant and revoke licenses; give authority to examine books and papers of both licenses and non-licensees; but only licensees can charge the rates provided for in the act; limit loans; regulates salary buying; makes any loan in violation of the act void and unenforceable either at law or in equity and would not apply to banks, trust companies or building and loan associations. The small loan law is endorsed by ex-Gov. Frank D Lowden of Illinois, the American Federation of Labor, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainsmen and numerous civic associations and welfare organizations. To vote "YES" on PROPOSITION NO. 10 lays the necessary foundation to successfully combat the "loan shark evil."

Quite a day of good things at this Church last Sunday. The Sunday School grows in attendance, and interest.
At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd spoke from Matt. 25:19—"After a long time, the Lord of those servants cometh and reckoneth with them." The subject was Reckoning Day. It was a very timely, and acceptable message, looking to the success of the Rally tis Sunday. An excellent report of the sessions of the Providence Baptist Association at Riverside was given by Dr. Prowd. The Tribe of Asher had a great time with Rev. Mr. Walker as Preacher.
At 3 P. M. Sister Jones, the Captain was pleased with the sum collected.
At the evening service there was quite an interest manifested by the fine audience, and all benefitted from the sermon on "The Lost Sheep."
This Friday evening the Tribe of Judah will have its turn in a grand Musicale by its Captain, Mrs. E. L. Green. We are looking out for fine renditions.
All the people are on the "tip-toe" expecting a great day this Sunday. All the Tribes will make report, and the winner will be honored. Many Ministers and their congregations have been invited, and we are expecting our friends to show up with kindly greetings at the installation of the Pastor. We invite all.

During these ten months under his leadership the amount of $11,702.35 was raised; 112 members were added to the membership, three of them being converts.
Among other achievements has been the equipment of a modern Pastor's Study and office with this equipment paid for in full. Rev. Humphreys has given to the church its first real church paper called "The Evilistor". Aside from keeping us posted as to the doings of the church, it gives the members an opportunity to develop their journalistic abilities. This paper is run solely thru the efforts of the Pastor. Thru his influence, eight persons contribute monthly to this paper. Rev. Humphreys met the Conference with more than a round report. Phillips Temple is indeed thankful for this God-fearing young man and his lovely wife and little daughter who play well their parts in his upward climb to success. Tho a young man he has pastored some of the leading churches in the connection. Charlotte, N. C., Atlanta, Ga., Newark, N. J., and Washington, D. C., are some of the churches that have helped to make him. With such a man as this given one hundred per cent co-operation from an excellent official board, a faithful congregation and a choir that thrills audiences with beautiful singing, with God at the head of the helm. Phillips Temple will go on and on to victory.

German Passion Players Tour United States
German Passion Players Tour United States
RELIGIOUS WORKERS IN FAMOUS PLAY TRAVEL UNITED STATES
BY DANIEL W. CHASE
(For Associated Negro Press)
A group of saintly-looking individuals, who play stellar roles in The "Passion Play," is making a tour of the United States, giving renditions in Atlanta, Ga., New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, St. Joseph, Mo., San Francisco, Atlantic City. The "Passion Play" is presented by the Friedburg Players of Germany, said to be the oldest protrayers of this religious drama in the world.
This group represents the oldest group of players, even ante-dating the renowned "Passion Play" of Oberammeran by several hundred years. The "Passion Play" of Freiburg dates back to 1274. This group of players was placed upon its present basis by the Prince of Baden. "Passion Play" was first presented by the populace of a little hamlet in the Black Forest. The play was presented annually at first, and its fame began to spread so that Freiburg took on new importance as a center of religious life. The records of the early presentation of "Passion Play" and church history are preserved.
SACRED DRAMA AT FIRST
COMMERCIALIZED
With each year, however, the fame of the players increased the number of the town's merchants grew, and profits were many. Wealth brought by the visiting throngs enabled the townspouse to complete the cathedral which they had begun long before to build, but the coming of wealth brought degradation. The "Passion Play" was reduced to the status of a street fair. Its decline was so complete that in 1760 it was being given by a single person who manipulated wax figurines.
In 1760, a group of pious villagers, because of their grief at the plight of their religious drama, waited upon the Prince of Baden, who was petitioned to make the "Passion Play" an official pageant of the city. They were rewarded by the Prince's decree. It was at that time decided that the roles should be inheritable. The part of Christ was officially assigned to the Fassnacht family, the head of which was in the group that appealed to the Prince of Baden. The first Fassnacht family, however, never lived to see the renewed play, but his son carried it on for him. Notwithstanding the fact that the "Passion Play has been closely associated with the University of Freiburg for many years, it is said to be still under the supervision of the town council of Freiburg.
PRINCIPALS IN PLAY-
It is strange to say that a direct descendant, Adolf Fasanacht, takes the role of Christ. His wife Elsa, portrays Mary, the mother of Christ. Their daughter, Amalie, interprets the stirring role of Mary Magdalene. 'Among other noted players in the

The Officers Association was organized two years ago by a local group of ex-Officers who wished to perpetuate the friendships and memories of the World War. Once a year they meet, on Armistice Day, in memory of their dead comrades, and at intervals during the year they, meet to traternize with one another. An attempt is being made to extend the organization nationally, and a committee was appointed for this purpose at Sunday's meeting. Forty-six local members are already on the roll, and a dive is now being made to include in the membership list every man who served in the World War and held a commission between April, 1917, and November, 1918. The Adjutant, Curtis W. Carpntier, at 1.22 East 23rd street, is receiving applications for membership.

Do you know that Milton K. Young can honestly and frankly answer any question put to him on his stand, which is more than can be said for the professional politician
Do you know that his firm stand on law-enforcement is an intelligent one, and should win him the support of all good citizens. Government cannot stand without being armed with honest officials!
Do you know that Milton K. Young has long been known as an advocate of fairness to all races and creeds!
Do you know that if you wish to be free of machine politics, gutter-campaigning and the reckless expenditure of your money, you must vote for MILTON K. YOUNG!

Thatcher for Supervisor
Editorial in Long Beach Sun of Oct.
17. 1930.
"Hight A. Thatcher of Pomona, who by a wide margin led the field in the supervisorial contest in the First district at the primary election, is to address the Long Beach Woman's City (Jub this afternoon and then, from 3:30 until 4:30 o'clock, will greet friends and supporters in this locality at an informal "open house" at Thatcher campaign headquarters on West Ocean boulevard.
"It is an interesting coincidence that on the eve of Mr. Thatcher's visit here there was announced an endorsement of his candidacy by J. W. Reagan of Long Beach, former chief engineer of the County Flood Control district and himself a supervisorial aspirant at the recent primary. Mr. Reagan's knowledge concerning water conditions is known to be extensive and valuable, and the fact that his indorsement of Mr. Thatcher, published elsewhere in this issue, commends the latter's stand in the matter of a water program cannot but impress residents of Long Beach and vicinity as a significant testimonial in Mr. Thatcher's behalf.
"Col. Robert E. Frith of Monrovia, who also was on the supervisorial ballot in the First district at the primary, recently announced his indemnation of Mr. Thatcher, asserting that in his opinion the Pomona man is exceptionally fitted for the office and has outstanding claims for support at the November 4 election.
"Other voluntary indorsements of Mr. Thatches by individuals and groups, have been numirous, indicating that a high estimate of his character and ability to fill the important supervisorial office is held very generally throughout the district.
"One of these endorsements is in the form of a resolution by the Federation of State Societies, embracing a tremendously large membership, a large proportion of which is in the Thatcher district. The organization is in no sense political, and as a rule holds aloof from politics; but, as the resolution affirms, it is interested in and working for the best interests of Los Angeles and Southern California. For this reason it has felt impelled to take action. The message from the State Societies sets forth further:
'Whereas, said Hugh Thatcher is well known to this organization as a man well qualified for the position, and that his business experience, his sterling character and ability and integrity qualify him for the position. Therefore, be it resolved that we recommend Hugh A. Thatcher to the members of our organization and to the public as being a man worthy of their confidence and support.'
'In advocating the election of Mr. Thatcher, The Sun probably will call attention, from time to time, to various specific facts concerning his career, his principles and his position on various matters of current importance to the First district.

Umerio, everybody!
Just as I said, when a fellow gets so popular he reserves some of this column's space.
Russell Spight, a B-10 at Jeff, is the victim. Before coming to Jeff, Russell was one of McKinley Junior High School's BEST basketball players. He is also out for basketball this term at Jeff. If you happen to see a light-brown new Ford whizzing down central avenue, with a handsome young man in it, well you can bet all the tea in China that it's Russell Spight.
Vernon Strange, that neat little fellow, who drives ye ed to school some mornings, is still holding his position out in Beverly Hills.
Last week, due to some difficulty or mistake, KENNETH MACK, as treasurer of the Jefferson Junior H-Y was omitted. The way Kenneth collects those dues at club meetings is nobody's business. He resembles Kingfish in every way except the "bay window."
Last week, because of some misarrangement, Dr. Claude Hudson "pinch hit" for Dr. Leonard Stevall by addressing the Jefferson Junior HI-Y and their invited guests. Arthur Nunn, Roscoe Porter and Teddy Lancaster representing the 25th Street branch, at the Friendly Indian Powwow at Riverside, were chosen to act for a news reel, which they did with all the yelling, whooping, etc., etc.
The "Y" Bullies started the new year out with right last Wednesday, by electing the following officers:

Churches in the city and the pastor from Duarte and many of the members of their congregations were present. This was indeed a glorious service. Rev. J. W. Howard, pastor of Ward's Chapel Preached the sermon and the choir from Ward's Chapel sang. It was a wonderful message and the music was soul inspiring.

The funeral of Herman Randall which was held at Macedonia Baptist church Monday was largely attended, which was an evidence of the high esteem in which he was held by all the people of the community, for he was indeed an ideal young man. A splendid example of what a life can be when wholly consecrated to the service of god and man.
Herman though a young man was a devout christian, a faithful and valuable member of Macedonia Baptist church. A member of the Usher board and active in all church affairs. A real leader among the young people. The Pastor regarded him as one of the most responsible young men of his church met during his entire Pastorate and because of his close association with the Pastor he was considered almost as one of the family.
He is survived by a devoted mother and other relatives, Rev. L. M. Curtis, pastor assisted by other ministers officiated at the funeral.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened

The freedom of all persons now in prison under that act." The issuance of such a dole would create an army of idlers. There would be such an influx that California's population would be doubled in six months. Many now holding jobs would, quit work could they be assured of receiving $5.00 per week and $5.00 for wife and each child. One of this type of "demanders entered a garage where a Negro is employed and "demanded" a job. When told that there was no opening, he turned to the foreman and said, "What's the matter with the 'nigger's job? I'm a white man." Needless to say that he did not get the job. And HE DID NOT WANT IT.
What ever the cause; unemployment or put cussedness, this redism, radicalism, or communism under whatever name it appears; seems to be the cause of considerable unrest. Recently a body of them entered a meeting of city officials over which the mayor of New York was presiding and one of them called the Mayor a "Tammany grafter." It precipitated a near riot. It was only the intervention of the police that saved the "Agitators" from severe harm. There was a Negro woman among the number and she became hysterical; biting and scratching the police until they were forced to use rough methods in sudging her. ne Negro woman is no more an idication that the radical idea is making inroads in the women of our race than that appearance of one swallow indicates the summer. It is not to be gainsaid that enforced idleness has not encouraged radical ideas. It is very easy for President Hoover and Editor Brisane—the latter a very rich man—to use psychology in painting roseate hues of the present condition. The unemployed man knows better. He knows what it is to feel the pang of hunger or see his loved ones lack the necessities of life. There will be no better business until those who make business by their ability to purchase are enployed.
Down in Georgia there appears an effort to give "Judge Lynch" a set back. A number of prominent ecclesiastics have undertaken to trail the Beast to his lair. They seek to find the cause. It is acknowledged that the trumped up charge of "violation of womanhood" can no longer be reorganized. Whmat then, is the query of these white ministers, can be the cause? Is it a matter of economics, and has industry entered the lists? Whatever the cause this body of clerics say they will ferret it out in order that some remedy may be found to cure the cause. The lair of the "Beast" should not be hard to discover. It is marked by a trail of blood, arson and felonious murder. The sign post of racial hate, illuminated by the torch of intolerance; held in the hand of ignorance, lights the way. When the lair is found and the "Beast" smoked out, some drastic medicine, such as was prescribed by the Georgia judge; who sentence three white men to life imprisonment for the murder of a Negro, will have a beneficial effect.
Of interest to more than 15,000,000 American Negroes are rulings made by the State Supreme Courts of New York and California. Emilio Solomon, a conditioner of athletes, was referred to as being a Negro in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Solomon claimed that as a result of the newspaper reference fight managers and hotels have discriminated against him and other children have refused to play with his children. He brought suit against the Brooklyn Eagle for $100,000. Justice Dunne ruled that newspaper statements inadvertently calling a white man a Negro did not constitute libel. That the Negro is a respectable member of American manhood and as a man and a citizen, equal before the law to every other citizen. He further pointed out that the United States Constitution makes all men equal, hence there was nothing wrong in calling a white man a Negro than it is libelous per se to call a Negro a white man. A case similar was that of a keeper of a soft drink parlor, of whom the San Francisco News referred to as being a Negro. Suit was brought against the News and tried in the Superior Court before Judge Walter Perrv Johnson who, after citing any number of precedents, decisions mainly of former slave states, ruled "That he could not say as matter of law that a white man was not damaged by being referred to as a Negro." The cse against the News was carried to the California State Supreme Court and a brief presented by Attorney Sydnev Van Wyck. Jr., the News counsel. His brief was based on the New York decision of Judge Dunne and after reading the brief counsel for the plaintiff, convinced that the Supreme Court would not sustain the ruling of Judge Johnson, moved for a dismissal of the case. The News case excited much interest around the Bav area, and Attorney Van Wyck has had numerous requests to lecture on "The Achievements of the Negro." His talks would be based on data collected by him while engaged in the News case.
Pennsylvania politics are all a muddle. That is as far as the Republican party is concerned. Leaders and laymen of the faith are bolting the head of the ticket, Gifford Pinchott, and openly supporting the Democratic candidate. One thing: The contest will shoy just what the trend of the majority of voters may be toward modification or repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Dry Democrats and Republicans lined up against a similar coalition of "Wets." The election of Mayor James Rolph, Jr., as Governor of California, is conceded. The only thing is: how big the majority. The voters of California have a way of their own and it would not surprise many should Martin I. Welsh, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Democrat, and who is campaigning on a platform of his own, poll a vote in excess of any other candidate on that ticket. Welsh is creating quite a favorable impression among the voters of the Bay area.
The Filipinos are planning a big demonstration in the near future. We were informed that as many as ten thousand were expected. In the main it will be a demonstration for Filipino Independence. A protest against the continued Suzerainty in the Islands established by the United States. Have you ever stopped to consider that the United States has been, and is still used as a headquarters for the dissemination of agitating propaganda? When ever there is dissatisfaction of a group with their home government they seek asylum in the "Old U. S. A." to howl their protests. What other government would stand for it?
Word comes from Evanston, Ill., that the citizens, men and women, have formed a "Pistol Club" fearing a winter of crime as a result of unemployment. Would it not seem better to have formed clubs to decrease unemployment and thus obviate the fear of criminal aggression. With hunger gnawing at the vitals of men the instinct to possess enlarges and the desire to acquire, no difference how, subordinates all else. Give the men employment instead of bullets. Employment begets contentments. Bullets engender HATE.
Recently we overheard a preacher remark that "he had been called of God to preach His Gospel." If so then we contend that they can render a better service to humanity by preaching an diving nearer to the edicts of the Founder of the Christian faith. Leave politics alone.
Our attention was called to the laying of the cornerstone of the building being erected by Golden West Lodge of Elks, Los Angeles. It is a commendable effort and should receive the support of all. Regardless; In the laudation given we failed to note the mention of one name very essential to the records which were placed in the cavity of the stone. Brother Burton Ceruti was a pioneer in the project. In his long term as exalted ruler of Golden West 86 his best efforts were put forth to advance it. Then Brother Elks: why do you designate it as a "Rest?" A "Rest" is a plot of ground for burial of deceased members. We erect a "Home" for the living and rear a monument in the "Rest" for the absent. We also notice that it is taken seriously that the G. E. R. has authority to designate the meeting place of the Grand session. In 22 years of at-

The big drive for the Community Chest is now on and as we look at the situation, we should all join in and contribute to the limit for this great cause. You are loyalty doing your bit when you support the great principle served by the Community Chest. Give to the solicitors your limit.
The greatest drawback to our leadership for advancement is perhaps their own attitude of being infalliable. No living soul is free of error and if they are big, broad and generous as real leaders are wont to be, they will freely acknowledge their error, thereby bridging any breach; close ranks and march on in search of their goal of getting somewhere.
INDUSTRIAL PURSUIT—
The crying need of the hour, is industry and all of the bibows in the political realm are but impediments to the continued progress of minority groups. Therefore with one eye products of the hour. We are satisfied the chasing of the rain-open, and always on the alert to do our full duty, we are cognizant of our fullest rights and must protect them the best we can. However we are more pronounced than ever before; that we must line up for industry and production to the highest degree. Let the scyophants, parasites rave and do their worst to cast reflection upon a group of people, for truly they can make no headway against the onward march for industrial progress. These forces never sow and therefore they cannot reap. The people are getting wise to these weights upon their progress and henceforth they will be shunned and evaded as a pestilence such as the small pox and other loathsome diseases.
Industrial pursuit will go forward hand in hand with the quest of for economic freedom until victory has been achieved.
SUPPORT THE BOND ISSUE—
The loyalty of our group of voters can be depended upon for a ninety-nine and nine-tenths per cent support for the bonds for the water and power projects to be voted upon at the general election on November 4.
In doing this the group is not only in line with all who stand for the progress and growth of our great city, but will indeed be voting to improve and enhance the value of our very own propositions.
The opposition to the bonds is but the selfish greed of our corporations and we verily believe the people will not bow in hmble acquiescence to anf such program for slef aggrandizement for selfish greed.
The interest of the people are greater than the accumulation of dividends on the bonds of private owned power companies. We are therefore proud to not the solid front which our group is presenting on this all important matter which is a high compliment for its dependability upon all of the great questions which spell progress. Even the parasite refuses to take any program which will endanger our water and power program.
Of course the grafter who is a part and parcel of all groups and who like Judas Iscariot is always in evidence, who would not only betray his people but the nation itself if only given a chance. This gentry is here and there and everywhere and you will find that he is in your midst right now possibly with his thirty pieces or more of silver in his hand. Such as these are sores upon our body politic, who do no good for anybody but sows hatred, distrust wherever they go and finally come up amongst the missing themselves.
READING THE ADS—
Two Los Angeles Women were discussing newspaper advertisements. "When I turn to the advertising columns in the California Eagle", said Mrs. A., "I read them just as craefully as I would a description of some place, where, by diligent searching, I might find a sum of money—the cold cash. Furthermore, I am not guided by what I read at the moment. If I see something offered at a price which I know means money-saving, I go to that store with the purpose of buying it and putting it away until my present stock of it is worn out or exhausted. A good bargain is a good bargain any time. I buy ahead when the saving warrants it."
Mrs. B. confessed that she was not so forward-looking. "My reading of the ads," she said, "is for the purpose of finding where I can get the greatest economy in what I need right now. Somehow I have a feeling that a merchant is always trying to sell me something whether I want it or not. I always make up my mind to buy only what I need and not to yield to the blandishments of the bulletins about bargains. I read and shop for the day only."
In effect, Mrs. B. regarded the advertisements as temptations. Mrs. A. looked upon them as opportunities. Of the two, Mrs. A. is the more efficient housekeeper. Her use of the ads is the same that the manager of any big business makes of his knowledge and information concerning conditions that may or will affect his undertakings in the future. She makes her money go further than Mrs. B. possibly can
Mrs. A. advanced another shrewd observation: "The merchant who appeals oftenest to my desire to shop for the future, is the man who runs the best store and offers the best goods. He is availing himself of two markets—today's and the future's. If he has sense enough to do that, he has ability to run his store on the best lines. I favor the merchant who advertises oftenest, with the greatest regularity and in the greatest detail. From reading of advertisements I know enough about them to understand that the store which puts out sloppy ads or which advertises at irregular intervals in a hit-or-miss way, is the store most apt to give me hit-or-miss goods."
Mr. Reader: Thank you for sending me the clipping from this column. Don't blame you for asking me what I meant. Typographical errors will occur, but in this case it appears a matter of "pi", "It should read." That even workers may carry their demands too far is seen in the following report made by the "representatives of 400,000 California jobless." This committee appeared before Governor Young and made the demand "that a $15,000,000 fund be created by the transfer of funds from military agencies and taxation of state officials, private citizens, and corporations with incomes over $5,000 at a rate of ten per cent. Each unemployed person would receive $25.00 per week with $5.00 added for each dependent. Free use of vacant houses by unemployed, Free gas and electricity and repeal of the eviction law as well as the syndialist act.

tendance at grand lodge sessions this is the first time that we have known the place of meeting designated two years ahead and by the G. E. R. The place of meeting has at all times been a matter of contest between opposing cities. In the minutes of the 1929 session the report shows that it cost $9,166.88 to operate the office of the G. E. R. The Mayor of the city of San Francisco, receives $6,000. It cost $13,306.46 for the five days of the 30th session. Brother Hueston says that owing to the far distance of the Pacific Coast no efforts have been made to "advance the Elks scholarship in that locality.
When the San Francisco voter enters his booth to cast his ballot he will be confronted with more than 3 propositions for his consideration. He should give a careful study to each of them for many are very pernicious and have been sponsored by the signatures of many too careless to cwarefully read and digest the contents. Some are necessary for the good of the community, many for the welfare of the State. Amendment Number 5 which authorises the legislature to provide for the retirement of state employees has the sponsoring of Governor C. C. Young. It is a worthy measure and entails no extra taxation. The employee assists in establishing the fund. Then there is the Golden Gate bridge project authorising the issue of $10,000,000 in bonds. That entails no extra taxation on the people. A bridge connecting hinterland to San Francisco is essential to the development of the northern tier of counties. The Market Street railway franchise. 25 years. is having great opposition as is the usury amendment. Many others will bear watching.
We sorrowed at the passing of Tobe Muldrew. We had not met in a number of years but we were friends. The friendship dated from our first meeting near thirty years ago in Salt Lake City. His demise brings to memory many of the old bunch that have passed over the "Great Divide." There was Sid Miller; Sam Hopkins; W. D. Carter; John Reid; Rih Byas; and John Clayton. As fine a bunch of "Land Pirates" as ever looted a dining car. To know Tobe was to love him. Genial: Loval in his friendships his was the essence of thattrue Masonry which emanates from the heart and controls the actions. Mrs. Muldrew has our sympathy in the loss she sustains.
And now: We thank all who have had the patience to read these columns. It has been our aim not to impress but to show the germ of thought. We have felt elated when you differed from us. Were glad when you criticized us. We do not believe that there is any human so sacrosanct that they are beyond the pale of criticism. There are none too high or too insignificant to escape criticism. When any in high places enfold themselves in the mantle of scaredness and cry "treason" when the barb of warranted censure pierces the hide it shows that there is a vulnerable spot in the armor, Heads of fraternal societies; Political leaders; Race enthusiasts; Religious heads, or the President of the United States are liable to have their actions reviewed and often adversely commented. If in this column the feelings of any individual have been hurt or has there been cause for humiliation, it is assured that it has not been a matter of malicious intent. If any have found profit in perusal of our humble effort we feel gratified. If any have given thought to what has been presented week by week, w week a double gratification. And with this as our hope we choose it as our valedictory.
The many friends of Mrs. Ethel Rilev Clark, executive secretary of the Booker T. Washington Center: regret to hear of her loss by fire of much valuable manuscript. Aside from other personal loss, that of the manuscript is to be denlored because of its value to the loser. Mrs. Clark, who is the writer of short stories, had planned for the publication of a symposium and had gathered the Manuscript together for review. Those who read the magazine Opportunity will remember a short story "Dark Laughter" which caused considerable favorable comment. Anvone who has seen their "brain children" envolve and take life and character on the written page, can sympathize with the loser. But let us hope that the loser may become inspired to greater effort and replace the loss speedily.

OPEN LETTERS TO THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE
I have confidence in an old phrase and a quotation: That all things come to those that love and fear God; and before I get through with what I have to say, you will probably see: First of all, the quotation itself, gives one a thought, no doubt. The world, in general, is feeling a depression in one way or another. Take a case at capital, labor politic, Religion, allism, or trying to do something to relieve it and finding themselves with time. All are forgetting that God is behind all of it and will not be outdone. He made His plan in the beginning and no matter what men do, either in setting up Standards, for others to follow or blaming the other fellow, is not going to make it one BIT better; in fact, it will be worse.
In Mal. 4, it says: The Day cometh, that will burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all the wicked shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord, that it shall leave them neither ROOT nor BRANCH. Vey. 5: Behold I will send unto you Elijah, the prophet, before the coming of the Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord. You will find the proud and wicked are the ONES that are putting their money to usury and stripping the poor; and the political and religious world or any one thing to do, in own way, things in the name of God or anyone else's hurt. People have set up wards and have ideas of what's right and wrong than in every age. It has done this so long that the present Generation isn't aware that it's tradition that they are following and not the Lord or the Word of God. In Isa. 55, it says: Your Ways are not my ways, nor are your thoughts, my thoughts, etc.
If you will read Matt. 6, 7, 18, 22 and 25, you will find it a very good looking glass and notice how few are doing what Jesus said. But the Lord said: He will leave them neither root nor branch, then take a look at Rev. 17 and 18, tiffe it says: Babylon has become a habitation of devils a hold of every foul Spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Babylon means confusion and wheats else do you find it but in the religion and religious world, with education. Included that also says: Come out of her (Babylon) any people, lest you be partakers of her Sins and receive of her Plagues; if you read all of Revelations you will find that there is to be 3½ years of drought, famine, plagues and pestilences.
Read Matt, Mark, Luke and John and not Jesus Life and suffering and you will see that it was the political and religious people that caused His Suffering and Death; now in these judgment days, God is giving a year for every hour of His suffering at their hands; you will not it was 24 hours so it will be 24 years starting from 1914 and getting stronger and notter every minute. You will see Capital and Labour suffering alike. All the unemployment because of having Him to the Cross, people are on both hand and foot, so don't know where to go and do, but will not recognize God. There is hope for all that fear the Lord, down in their hearts. You will notice in Mal. 4—Those that fear the Lord and hear His Voice will grow up as Calves in the Stall. Read all of it, don't take my word, but hear when He tells you He will send you Ellijah, the Prophet, that is what I am trying to tell you, the ONE hope is in him, the Prophet. I can give you references about this Prophet and tell you more if you feel you need and truly want to escape all that is coming on the Earth.
It may interest you to know that I am not religious nor am I a Bolshevik or belong to any other movement or organization, for I have no more USE for such than had Jesus. This Prophet is now in Palestine where all is to take place and all according to God's set plan. If you care to hear more, you may write to me and shall be glad to help you, for it is life to hear and death to all that will not hear that Prophet. Acts 3 and Deut. 18. Very truly in His service, MRS. ALMA M. LEE. 2635 Artesia Blvd. Long Beach, Cal.

To get the kick of your young life go to the fights with Strutt Mitchell, famous entainer or Cliff Minter, hustling successful style studio proprietor.
Sitting tenseley on the edge of their seats their eyes glued on the ring they unconsciously move with the fighters in the ring jab, hook, upper-cut, cross, swing, jerking their whole bodies around like marionettes or automations. They are only examples of hundreds of other business and professional of all races, whose red blood and love of action repones to that of the gladiators there before them. Real men get he-man thrill from contests of skill and brawn so at a fight football, baseball, polo, hockey or basketball contest you can find your, lawyer, doctor, broker, or even your mayor going through the same motions as Cliff or Strutt.
Colored Boxers got a lot of apots at various clubs last week and also this week.

MEXICAN TEAM STRENGTHENED TO PLAY ROYAL GIANTS SUNDAY AT SOX PARK
Realizing that they have to take unusual steps to reverse a loss last Sunday when the Nashville Royals Giants took a double header from them, the famous El Mexico team is preparing hard for a second double header next Sunday at White Sox Park.
Although the game throughout was hard fought the Mexicans learned that they were up against greater colored players than they had ever seen or played before although even into the Spanish papers had erect the name of Willis, Ross, Wright, Shaw, Turkey Stearns and others in their exploits back east this summer.
The splendid season played by the Negro National League loop revealed last summer, revealed that the players here with the Nashville Royal Giants equal any World Series player of international fame.
Their hitting power is phenomenal it had to be to smack such pitchers as Salazar and Barrabs who pitched last Sunday. Fact is the game was hopelessly tied in the fourth inning of the second half until Palm made a hard drive through center scoring Evans.
FANS WELL PLEASED
Several thousand colored fans were cut last Sunday among the 7,500 fans of all races to get a line on the new players. They went away well pleased as they feel assured they are to see some real baseball this winter.
WILSON AND NEWTON ON JOB
Owner Thos. Wilson and ground
manager Jas. Newton are going to
be on the job at all times carefully
studing and planning each game to
give the fans the run for their money
that they deserve.
Newton is especially well equipped
as his long experience with the Negro
National League has proven, and his
handling will bring satisfaction to
players and fans alike.
PASADENA IN LOOP
Of added interest is the fact that
Pasadena will be represented in the
Southern California Winter League,
replacing the Shell Oil outfit. The
change was necessary as the players
of the visiting clubs play on a
percentage basis and as. Shell fans failed
to attend the games in large num-
bers; the consequence was very small
receipts for the players.
The fang of the city of Pasadena are behind the proposition. The other clubs in the loop are: Tommy Wilson's Royal Giants of Nashville; M-G-M studio and Joe Pirrone's Major and Coast league All-Stars. Thousands of attaches, actors and officials of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studio will attend the series this winter as Culver City residents, for Ernie

CROWDED WHITE
ROYAL
While 7,500 enthusiastic fans cheered; the Royal Giants of Nashville took both games of a double header from the strong El Mexico team in a Winter League preliminary at White Sox Park Sunday, the second ended 8-4.
The playing of the colored boys was a revelation to the White Sox fans, most of them being on their first trip west from the big Negro National League teams.
The colored team showed good hitting power gathering 11-hits in the first game and gave promise of splendid work in the regular Winter League.
El Mexico had Barbados and Salazar, pitchers, Tellez and Perez, catchers and the Royal Giants had Willis and Shaw hurling and Palm, and Williams, Leake, Bach, and Hollis were um-

FREEMA
When Harvey Petit manager of Sammy Jackson signed last week for his sensational contender to box the welterweight champion Tommy Freeman at the Olympic. Nov. 18th it set the whole country, talking. Attention centered on the fact that the new champion is endangered his title so soon after winning it in a doubtful decision over Young Jack Tompson
The match was only closed after long dickering between match maker Wad Wadhams of the Olympic Auditorium and the champion's manager. Promoter Jack Doyle's new policy of a match at any cost had set in motion a movement to put Sammy, the best attraction at present against, Sammy Mandell, Young Jack Thompson or Freeman with the title holder preferred.
...Being the king of the division Freeman dictated some stiff prices at first but as he has never boxed west Sammy is as good or better as an attraction. So he had something to say also and finally agreed on 22 -12 percent with a scale to 25 percent if the house-grosses to $17,000 Sammy only received $3,500 for his hard bout with Corbett, but will fare much better this time, as the house is sure to be a sell-out.
Interest is so great over the match that betting has already started with

the 20-year old Santa Monica student a favorite to beat the welter boss. Experts predict a repitation of the Thompson - Dundee match. If Jackson beats Freeman at the over weight limit of over 147, then Freeman can be compelled to give him a title shot.
So well liked is the quiet gentlemanly brown boy who lives clean and saves his money for his mother, that white fans cheered wilder for him than they did for. Corbett of their own race.
The colored people are wild about him and his advent to the local boxing game has added more new colored fans than ever before. They see in him their ideal of a champion; unassuming, proud of his race, and a fighter who fights.
So confident is Harvey Petit that the boy he "discovered" two-years ago can beat the champion that he offered to pay him $37,500 to fight at the title weight of 147 pounds. To date it had not been accepted. A return match with $1000 guarantee would have been accepted for Frisco with Jackson against Corbett if Freeman had refused this bout. The champion who hails from Arkansas is no slouch so fans, may prepare to see one whale of a battle on November 18th.
The noble sport of fencing will be given a worthy position on the pro-gram of the 1932 Olympic games, which are to celebrated here July 30th to August 14th, inclusive, according to the organizing committee.
Facilities already have been provided for fencing, in the form of a big pavilion in Olympic park, adjacent to Olympic stadium. The pavilion is of concrete and steel surmounted by a glass roof, supplying daylight to participants, officials and spectators

HORSESHOE LEAGUES
TO START PLAY
With leading horseshoe tossers of the Southwest "primed" by the recently completed Los Angeles Municipal and County tournament play is scheduled to start on Saturday, November 1, in the Los Angeles Municipal Horseshoe Pitching League sponsored by the city Playground and Recreation Department. Teams from Los Angeles and surrounding cities are entered in the league, which promises to bring forth the highest form of horseshoeing to be found anywhere in the nation.

DYNAMITE JACKSON KNOCKS OUT RAY SPIKER
Contrary to the first report reaching the city from Modesto that Dynamite Jackson sensational colored heavyweight title contender had merely wom he knocked out his opponent Ray Spiker in two rounds of a scheduled 10-round main event. The sudden end came as a complete surprise to Modesto, fans as the big white fighter is a favorite there and a former headliner at the Olympic Auditorium Los Angeles.
TENNIS EXERCISES BRAIN
Strategy upon which an entire match is based, and tactics designed for a certain situation, enter into any tennis match, and the player must have at least enough mentality to map out a campaign and change it when needed.
Coordination of eye, hand and body, obtained through many hours of steady practice makes the tennis master. The fees weight, position of body, arm, wrist and fingers, all go into a tennis stroke, and more correctly they are aligned the better will be the stroke. But Coordination must be second nature; the Player cannot think of that when he is on the courts.

When only 14 he, Sammy Jackson and some more boys fitted up a nondescript gymn in his back yard on 15th Street, and started self training. After Sammy moved to Santa Monica, Oscar was introduced to the well known trainer Geo. Mays at the Manhattan Gymn. George had him work out with "Killer" O'Brien then going good, and Mushy Callahan junior welterweight champion. Both these hard punches socked him mercilessly but he stood the gaff and socked backs learning pleanty from them. So when Harvey Petit managing Sammy Jackson already "discovered" him and matched

These were his only main events until the eventful night he fought Colima at the Olympic. Three other times that he boxed there were preliminaries against Sailor "Red" Salerno, and Rousey.
