WESTERN OUTLOOK SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND. CALIFORNIA. SATURDAY. MAY 15. 1926 VOL. XXXII. SAN FRANCISCO Mrs. Carrie G. Simmons, 3009 Steiner street, wishes to thank her many friends for sympathy shown during the hours of bereavement for her son, William H. Grant, whose remains were interred at the national cemetery on May 4th. Hudson & Butler were in charge. Mrs. Ella Hawkins of San Jose was among sympathetic callers of Mrs. Simmons. Mrs. James Murrell of 1207 Powell street has returned from a short visit to Los Angeles. Mrs. R. Brown was hostess to a number of friends on April 28 She is a bride of scarcely a month. We all know what Shakespeare says of the man who has no music in his soul; for this reason Mrs. Hilda Bertram's and Mrs. Atkinson's voices are missed from the echo of the choir at Bethel. On May 3rd, at a meeting of the executive committee of the San Francisco branch of the N.A.A.C.P at the residence of S. Garrard, 1865 Pine street, much business of importance was disposed of, preparatory to entertainment and reception of William Pickens, who will be a guest of this branch on May 17th. He will speak at the Third Baptist church. Show your love for your race, become a member, and let every one be present on this occasion. Other honored guests will be present. The H. S. Girls' club dance was one of the season's jovial events. The club met with Miss Olivia Smith, of 2072 Lombard street, on Sunday. Miss Smith is a charming hostess. Mrs. M. Johnson, mother of Mrs B. Peoples and Mrs. Smith of San Francisco, has been seriously ill at her home in San Jose, but is somewhat improved at this writing. Don't forget the free shampoo with Marcelc every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Mrs Cloud's parlor. See advertisement. Mrs Dolly Caldwell of Divisadero street is yet seriously ill. "Bursting Bonds" is the name of the wonderful book of which Dean Wm. Pickens, field secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., is author. The price is only $1.50. You may secure a copy from the San Francisco agent of the Western Outlook—Walnut 6430. To borrow an over-used phrase, a splendid human document—it will do more than argument, speeches, and propaganda. This is what Blanche Watson saves of it. Mrs. F. L. Foster advises that the soul's gift may be set in tune. She is an artist. See a lvertisement in another column. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Wheaton have been domiciled for the past two weeks in their new home, 677 Brunswick street. Mr. Wheaton is president of San Francisco branch of the N.A.A.C.P. Mrs. Atkinson of 2383 California street is able to be out again, after having suffered from the effects of a sprained ankle. Mrs. Hilda Bertram is still confined to her home. She has been sick for several weeks. Mrs Daisy Campbell of Redwood City spent the week-end as a guest of Mrs. Alma Brown of Scott street Mrs. Wesley is perfect in caring for the scalp and hair under the Poro system. If you have not visited Mother's Inn and enjoyed the wonderful meals that only those of the ability of the proprietress can prepare, you have missed a wonderful treat—Give her a call any time. R. Williamson, who has been ill for the past two weeks, was able to out on Sunday. Mrs. Lena M. Parker, agent for Western Outlook, has been elected by the executive committee to serve the unexpired term as secretary when Mrs. Peterson was called to her home in Alabama by illness of her father. It is with deep regret that we must part with her efficient services in this and many other capacities. Sergeant Robert Blenisoe, retin senior warden of Victoria lodge, No 3, F. and A. M., is confined in the Letterman hospital for observation and treatment. Eugene Brown is sick at home with measles, but is doing nicely at this time. Mrs. Bessie Mimms of Pasadena arrived Sunday to visit her husband Sergeant Mimms, who is confined in Letterman hospital. Aerial lodge Odd Fellows held its regular meeting on the 11th instant Geo. W. Hamilton was elected as delegate to D. G. lodge; and J. B Hayden as alternate. B. L. Tyrrel was chosen delegate to the B.M.C. Absentees at Thanksgiving service were cited to show cause at the next meeting why the fine should not be imposed. Golden Gate lodge has invited the members of Aerial lodge and all Odd Fellows in good standing to be present at the meeting on May 19. Bro. H. Brown will specially address and instruct the members. Let all Odd Fellows be out. Mrs. Augustine Beverly is listed with the sick. It is to be hoped that when the fraternal organizations in San Francisco are called on by the Ladies' Committee of Fifty, they will respond liberally. Mrs. A. Malone of Union street is reported on the sick list. BETHEL CHURCH Sunday school hour at Bethel was the initiative of a gala Mother's day as never before at 9.30 a.m. a large number were present to sing the new song, "I Was Here at the Ringing of the Bell." A beautiful and appropriate programme was rendered by the various classes—musical and literarv. At 11 a.m. the pastor selected his text, Exodus, Il., 9, and directed his theme to children of living mothers It was the largest congregation that has been in Bethel at this hour for many Sundays. One new member was, added to the roll. The choir was in trim for the occasion. The trustees proved themselves AY 15. 1926 NO. 36 real salesmen when they disposed of the pipes and keys of the Bethel organ, ranging from $2.50 to $15. The pastor informed the congregation that he promised to remain as Bethel's pastor until the organ is paid for, so let us all pay pledges that the organ may be free. Our conference is drawing near we have much to accomplish ere September. Our Sunday school convention and district conference will convene in Stockton on May 19. The Sunday school and friends will be out on Friday evening at the May day festival and country fair. The hope chest contest for the W. M. M. society has especially gained the attention of two of our young ladies of the older set. Mrs. Jaggie Roberts, our choir directress, was able to be with us on May 9. She was indisposed the Sunday before. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. E. W. Moore, who, for the last two weeks, has been under the care of the doctor, is indecent. S. M. Crawford, of 1722 Lyon street, the superintendent of the Sunday school, has gone to Los Angeles for a vacation. Mother's day was observed by appropriate service. Dr. Moore being absent, Dr. Thomas, the director of religious education for the Northern California Baptist convention, occupied the pulpit in the morning, and Rev. Wilson of Oakland in the evening. The Live Wire club recently organized, with a charitable mission ( Mrs. Beatrice Johnson, president) gave a dinner at the Third Baptist church on May 6. It was a success in every way, but sorry to say many could not be served because of great demand for the palatable repast which Mrs. Anna Bowyer is efficient in preparing. Dr. Moore was ill and unable to be present. A hiking party, of which Mrs. F. Foster was the prime promoter with six of her friends, hiked to Muir Woods on the 6th instant. They report a wonderful time. Mrs. Morris was among worshippers at Bethel on Sundav for the first time since February. Mrs. H. Bertram is convalescent. FORO System of Hairdressing MUN.

EDITORIAL PAGE SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1926 If you have frequent cause to blush for your lack of education, do not waste time giving us an easyful about lack of opportunity. Grab some of the opportunities to study and learn with which you are surrounded right now. TO REAP MORE. WE MUST SOW MORE. This paper's stand on the N A A C. P. is so well understood that it is useless to repeat. We take satisfaction in the fact that through the Negro press this organization is coming into its own as the outstanding agency to carry on the great battle for manhood rights. The people are now awakening to the menace that threatens our very liberties and are responding to the needs of the hour. It has been the history of mankind to dislike any change, and they have been contented to let well enough alone. But if there had not been some men in history brave enough to withstand opposition and multilinion, mankind would rehap b still living in caves, eating raw meat, and roaming the woods in an uncivilized state. In every instance where the people have become satisfied with their status content to stay in the rut, they have tended to retrograde and decline as was manifested by the disintegration of ancient word powers. Are our rights as guaranteed by the constitution worth preserving? We all think so. Then it is worth at least one dollar per year. This command of the Bib'e can be fully applied to the urgent appeal of the committee of fifty for $1000 to assist in remodeling the Barker T Washington Community center. The community chest has aid "roll the stone away" and we will $3500 00. Last week saw the expiring struggle of Vanderbilt's st n of tableloid papers to keep going. It was the old story, enthusiasm versus experience. This young ma, with all the prestige of a wealthy family, could not prevent the crash. "The public be served," and clean journalism could not be capitalized into assets, and thus the high ideals and lefty aspirations of a dreamer come to an end in a receiver's hands. In this failure is a warning to some of our social group who may feel the urge to plunge into the pool that it is beset with dangers, and that it is about the easiest way to unload a bank acount that we know of, with the satisfaction that you are serving ungrateful people who do not care a tinker's dam for your high ideals and efforts to reform. Brisbane commenting says that a "newspaper is the hardest business to build up in the country and an old established the hardest to pull down." All the freak things that happen these days is laid to prohibition and none of the things that have caused men to take better care of their families, the saving banks to increase their accounts and families to be better housed and fed is laid to prohibition. When Gabriel balances that ledger, somebody will be trying to get under cover but figures don't lie, though they may be juggled and made to look queer. 1843 1926 ODD FELLOWS' THANKSGIVING SERVICE Annual thanksgiving service of the G. U. O. O. F. was held at Zion church on Sunday, Mav 9th under auspices of Golden Gate and Aerial lodges and Household of Ruth, No. 253 The following pro ramme was rendered : Organ voluntary; introductory remarks by the chairman, P.

W. McCoy, was forcibly delivered; anthem by choir address on Odd Fellowship, Brother John Wesley, the youngest member to ever deliver this address in this State. It was a gem, and was well delivered. Queries and responses by the order; collection; closing ode benediction. The order turned out well. The officers of the joint committee were H. Brown, chairman; Mrs. E. Freeman, Mrs. Frances Tyrrel, F. C. Johnson, marshal. If you started life short on health remember that Teddy Roosevelt did also, and add to your small stock until you become abundantly healthy as he did. N. A. A. C. P.

POLITICS' THE POLITICAL GAME As Observed by The Scribbler Play ball, the game is on but the fans have not warmed up yet and only the publicity departments of the several candidates are busy and to read their stuff it is all over but the shouting, but of course this means littel to the practical politician as they know a battle is not won until the ballots are counted and results declared. Our boom city seems to have the system of getting the electorate to register while we of the north lag, Registrar Zemansky has registered a total of 140,000 and hopes to have 200,000 on his roll by the close of registration for the August primary July 31st. Rex Goodcell has made his bow to the northern end of the state and he seems to have made a favorable impression, he seems to have drawn the fire of the Progressive press which means that they consider him a dangerous competitor in race with C. C. Young the avowed progressive Hicam Johnson candidate. Governor Richardson seems to be feeling the public pulse to see whether there is any popular demand for his services another four years, as yet there don't seem to be any demand outside the office holders but there is hardy enough of them to elect a governor. Sam Shortridge is still in Washington which fact is being noted but his interests are being taken care of by his friends. A hard fight is ahead of him; that he has thought it necessary to defend his course on the Dyer bill is evident that he counts on the Colored vote to help put him over, and as the U. S. Senate of late years have been controlled by renegade republicans and K K Ks or 100 per cent it takes a courageous man to stand up for manhood rights of the Negro and we believe that extreme care should be exercised in voting for senators and congressmen. The 4th Congressional district presents an interesting situation. Mrs. Kahn who was elected to fill out the term of her husband likes the job and wants to stay but several men think they can look out for the richest district in California better than a woman; not very galant, but modern politics don't make for chivalry. There is going to be several hot fights in Alameda county. Watch the game from the side lines the bases are full none out. If you want friends, get them in the only way they can be gotten which is by being a friend yourself. ```markdown ``` Which Meets in Baltimore, Maryland, September 1926. It is always a pleasure and the Outlook is proud to mention any achievements or progress made by members of our race and especially the younger set. We have known the subject of our sketch since girlhood and have watched her ascend step by step. The above likeness does not flatter her as you will all agree when you meet her face to face. She has a wonderful personality backed by ability which makes her a very lovable girl. The smile what there is of it is purely natural. Miss Shorey is the daughter of the late Capt. William T. Shorey, who for thirty-five years was master of the various whaling vessels, namely, the Emma Francis Herman, Andrew Hicks, Gayhead, Alexandria, and the John & Winthrop, and the only colored sea Captain sailing out of the Port of San Francisco. Her mother, Mrs. Julia T. Shorey was one of the organizers and for years president of the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People. She through unceasing till brought it through its darkest days and made it what it is. Miss Victoria G. Shorey was elected delegate to represent her Household of Ruth No. 253 of San Francisco, to the Supreme Grand Household, which meets in Baltimore, the first Monday in September. She has climbed up the ladder in the Ruth work, starting first in the Juvenile No. 1001 of San Francisco, and acting secretary until she reached the proper age she was initiated into the Mother Household, whereupon she advanced through the chairs to Past Most Noble Governor. Last year she was elected as a delegate to District Grand Household No. 28 which met in Los Angeles. She was acting as Grand Secretary for the late lamented, Mr. Lacy Crabb, temporary. She was placed in nomination for the position permanently. There were so many aspiring for the position both north and south that even her strongest supporters doubted she could make the grade. Past Most Noble Governor, Mrs. Eliza J. "Warner, went to bat for her. Mrs. Warner "knows how" and after her appeal on the conven- tion floor that afternoon, against much opposition Miss Shorey became District Grand Secretary, which position she now holds, and from reports we are positive thee she is making a very efficient and conscientious secretary. Those who heard Mrs. Warner say "she walked and talked." Miss Shorey is also active in other organizations, being Financial Secretary of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Also Secretary of the Oakland Circle No. 3, Past Chiefs Association, of the Ancient Order of Foresters, being a Past Chief Companion of Knaresborough Circle No. 189. We cannot omit the fact that Miss Shorey known as "Vic" is an all around athlete, and is known among the "smart set" as a "regular feller", being Manager of the Basketball team of the Y. W. C. A., and one of their star players, and also one of the best lady tennis players around the bay. Last year while on a visit in Southern California she made all the tennis stars sit up and take notice. We don't know much of her Charleston qualities, but we do know she is a prize waltzer and has won several prizes in contests as such. After the convention in Baltimore, Miss Shorey contemplates a visit to her father's sister and people in New Jersey, New York, and Boston, also Mrs. A. M. Curtis in Washington, D. C., and her daughter, who is now living in Lynchburg, Va. Miss Shorey is an expert stenographer and is at present filling the position as assistant to Mr. C. D. McFarland, Secretary of the Dining Car Cooks and Waiters Union, No. 168 of Oakland A. F. L. Members of the Association of Colored Women: DAYTONA, Fla., Feb. 1, '26 We hereby call your attention to the fifteenth biennial of our organization, and urge your attendance on the same. This is the most important meeting we have had for years, because of our great objectives, the revision of the Constitution—to fit the needs of to-day, our changes in officers, and the working out of departments with our national, sectional, and State chairmen. Every organization that holds membership in the national association of colored women should feel the responsibility for plans for the future. It has been found absolutely necessary to have the credential committee meet in Oakland two days prior to the meeting of the executive board, which will take place on Saturday morning, July 31, at 10 o'clock sharp. There will be the general mass meeting on Sunday, August 1, at 2:30 P. M., and Monday at 9 A.M. we enter upon our programme without interruption. The meeting will last the usual five days and close on Thursday with the meeting of the new executive board. Executive board meeting at 10 A.M., Saturday, July 31.

St. Louis and the Kansas City champions hooked up for a series of four games, and at the close St. Louis was classed as the "also ran" club; they lost every game. Chicago American Giants took on Steve Pierce's Detroit Stars for four games. They won the opener on Saturday, tied 'em on Sunday, won again on Monday, but were shut out 3 to 2 on Tuesday. The parade on the opening day was led by the Fort Dearborn Elks and their band. The Defender says Rube Foster's club was outclassed by the Detroit Stars from the start. In two of the games it took ten innings before a decision Detroit moved to Kansas City this week. Indianapolis won out over Cleveland, and shut them out, 7 to 0, on Tuesday. THE STANDING W. L.

Claiming to have the support of the two other members of the commission, Faillev issued a statement attacking the impression gained yesterday that Rickard will appear before the commission within thirty days, and name an opponent for Dempsey. "What happened was somewhat different," said Farley. "Rickard merely promised that within thirty days he would report what progress he has made towards a Dempsey-Wills match. The reason for the re-instatement of Dempsev was his acceptance of Wills's challenge. As far as the commission is concerned Wills is the only recognized heavyweight challenger. The challenge is matter of record, and nothing has changed my opinion that Dempsey must fight Wills." Jack Johnson, one time champion who is now 48 years of age, "came back" in his fight on the border with the much touted Arizona Kid Pat Lester, and won all the way in a 15-round battle. He has issued a challenge to fight Firpo. Bessie Coleman, aviatrix, flew to her death at Jacksonville, Fla., on May 7th. Her stunts have thrilled thousands from San Francisco to Long Island. She will be buried in Chicago. EIGHT NEGROES [STAR-OF-ZION.] Eight Negroes registered at the quadrennial convention of the international council of religious education which met in Birmingham, Ala. on April 12th. Ordinarily over 300 would have registered. Five colored denominations are members of this council. They did not send delegates because of the city ordinance segregating the races in the city aud orium. Officers of the council were then officially notified that we would not take part in the convention under the conditions imposed. Other colored denominations joined us in the protest.

Only eight Negroes registered. We do not know their names. We know the names of Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold. OLDEST RESIDENT DIES Cha lottesville, Va , April 21.

All detail I left to your efficiency so completely; that my mind was entirely at peace to enjoy the programme, which I did enthusiastically. Aren't our people charming and gifted? And didn't we have an interesting audience? Well, much of the smoothness of functioning was due to you. Many, many thanks. My cordial greetings and gratitude to you and to Mrs. Lashley for coming.
