WESTERN OUTLOOK SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1926 VOL. XXXII SAN FRANCISCO NEWS ITEMS By Our Agent Shasta lodge of Elks and Guiding Star Temple held memorial services at Zion church on Dec. 12th. The members turned out largely. James Scott of Sacramento was a visitor to Golden Gate Lodge at its last meeting. GOLDEN GATE LODGE MEETING Golden Gate Lodge, Odd Fellows held a well attended meeting on the 15th inst. It was an annual round-up of all the members. Mr. Tod Butler had kindly consented to pick up Will Harris, a member paralyzed —J. V. Scott and John Barton, who are blind. None of them has been in the lodge room for years. It was very kind and thoughtful of Mr. Butler to do this, and it is certainly appreciated by the lodge. It was election night and Golden Gate had as the guest of honor Jacob Soares, the District Grand Secretary, from Sacramento. A smoker was arranged in his behalf. A grand evening was spent. Zion literary society meets every Monday evening at the church—Russell Hill is president. Suppose we drop over once in awhile—see if we can encourage them. The editor received an invitation from the Happy Hour club of Bethel church to a tea last Sunday at the M. J. Walker Home. A previous engagement prevented our attendance. We thank you.

See ad. SICK AND CONVALESCING Mrs. Henry Brown of 1315 Lvon street, mother of Mrs. J. E. Forman of 787 Eighth avenue, is seriously ill. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brown are among the pioneers of San Francisco K. Lang, who had a toe broken three weeks ago, is reported better. George Yebby is still reported on the sick list. Mrs. W. G. Gaskins, who has been seriously ill at her home, 148% Blake street, is convalescing. Mrs Rachel Smith, nee Williams, is confined to San Francisco hospital and will undergo an operation. William Harris, who has been on the sick list the past year, was able to attend a meeting of his lodge on the 15th instant. Joint installation Hannibal and Victoria lodges,F and A.M., held a joint installation of officers on Dec. 15th at their lodge room. The Masonic fraternity of this city will be hosts to the grand lodge next year. Plans are already or foot to entertain the grand body as only San Francisco knows how—the several committees have been appointed, and the programme will soon be announced. 100 PER CENT N.A.A.C.P. The following named young men are all employed at the board of fire underwriters under Walter A. Brown. In everything they undertake and in everything they do, they work as a unit. They were approached last week to join the Oakland branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and when the solicitor returned he was handed the book with the ten stubs and $10 with a word: "Just tell Mr. Bagnall at the New York office we are 100 per cent., namely: Eugene Harris, Walter L. Brown W. E. Vaughn, M. N. Crawford, Walter E. Taylor, Elmer Graves, Leroy J. Cannon, Llovd Edwards Alfert Amos, Clifford Wall, and Theodore R. Hardeman. N. A. A. C. P. San Francisco Branch San Francis'o branch N.A.A.C.P. will announce the biggest young people's popularity contest ever put over in the bav region. The date will appear next week. An oratorical contest will be the concluding evening's programme. If you have not paid $1 membership to the N.A.A.C.P. during the year 1926, will you include this in your special Christmas gift to yourself? Do you know that the disease of race perpetrations against Afro-American citizens is more fatal to souls of men than any contagious disease known to medical science? Now, just suppose that the three Lowmans who were lynched at Alken on October 8 were your own sister and brothers, would not you want the guilty persons brought to justice, that they would remember not to lynch the remainder of your loved ones and yourself? Has any man the right to take that which he cannot give? Did not Christ come to earth to bring peace and good will to all mankind? As a man thinketh, so is he. Therefore when men and women of our group begin to think that the success of America depends upon our own race, we in reality become the panacea of our own problems. We must not be begotistic, conceited, or vain, but we must exalt ourselves more highly than we do. We must get back to the old landmarks of humility, love and service, emulating the life of Christ, and not of our weaker brother. Dark-skinned American citizen, the wealth of the land is at your service if you only think it is. Let us use it. Just a dollar to bring lasting peace to a race and a nation. Office N.A.A.C.P., San Francisco branch, 4 Regley Place. The junior division of the N.A.A. C.P. invites every girl and boy, 14 to 21 years old, to join.

Dobbins will be sorry to learn of the passing of his aunt, who passed away recently in the South. She was 95 years old. Mrs. E. Preslev, president Bethel usher board, received the sad intelligence of the passing of her only and beloved brother, last week, in his Southern home. Her many friends extend sympathy. J. B. Hayden received the sad news of the death of his mother, in Webster Grove, Mo., December 14. Deceased was over 100 years old. Mr. Hayden has the sympathy of his friends. HERE AND THERE Heard and Seen In Passing M. S. Caneca, member of Golden Gate lodge, met with a very painful accident. He has a lacerated hand that caused him to lay off from work for the past two weeks. Fritz Jacobs ran up from Tulare on Wednesday night to meet D. G. Secretary Jacob Soares, Jas. Scott and Philip O'Reilly of Sacramento who paid Golden Gate Lodge an official visit. "Make San Francisco the happiest city in the world." That will be the official slogan of the city's next community chest campaign, according to announcement by Col. Geo. Filmer, campaign director. "In the relief of suffering and in all humanitarian work being done by its agencies, the community chest is ever making San Francisco a better place in which to live," declares Col. Filmer. Let us remember the Madame C. J. Walker Home and Booker T. Washington Centre are among the agencies and when called upon do our share. In a recent campaign in Richmond, Va., our group's quota was $12,000, and the race went over the top, giving more than $13,000.

EDITORIAL PAGE If some of our fraternal organizations were a little more careful about the character of applicants for membership, it would not be necessary to pass resolutions against questionable resorts that their members frequent and sometimes get killed. When the members are made to know that certain conduct is not to be tolerated by their organization, these resorts will not be so popular and those leaders who place the dollar above character will not have to apologize for the class of membership.

President Coolidge's message contains nothing new on the race problem or law enforcement These are stock phrases, and are brought out regular as gestures. They mean nothing, as they are never put into law, and, if they were, their teeth would be pulled by the supreme court. His recommendations on the surplus is good, but political expediency will prevent relief to taxpayers this session. Politicians are too busy trying to make an issue, to fight the next Presidential battle on. Thus representatives of the people waste time and tell voters how much they love the common people.

It looks very much like it from the trend of recent events. First Harry Wills allows himself to be gulled into a fight when he was in no condition: curtains for him. Now a deliberate effort is made to rob Flowers of his title. We are not admirers of the brutal sport, but we believe in a square deal, but if insidious influences are working to bar our race from any sport where brain and brawn compete, a united protest should go on record.

C., Dec. 8. ---Commander Lawrence Oxley of Charles Norwood Post, No 157, American Legion, has been elected the vicecommander of the department of North Carolina.

AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION Bishop Edward L. Parsons, bishop of the diocese of California of the Protestant Episcopal church, has become a member of the Northern California committee of the American Civil Liberties Union. Bishop Parsons, it was said at the headquarters of the committee, was induced to become a member because of his opposition to the California anti-criminal syndicalism law, the repeal of which is one of the immediate objectives of the union. A year ago, when a movement was launched to obtain a pardon for Miss Whitney, convicted of violating the sexualism law, Bishop Parsons not only joined in the movement, but issued a sement urging repeat of the law, which he declared infringed on fundamental American liberties. Bishop Parsons is the sixth minister to become a member of the committee. $2250 a Day Paid 300 Race Movie Extras Pacific Coast: News Bureau. Hollywood, Cal.---$2250 cash per day is paid 300 colored extra movie actors uled by the F.B.O. studio in filming jungle scenes of their new feature production, "Tarzan of the Golden Lion." More work, more money and more technique is going into this picture than any production made on the F.B.O. lot in years. Of the six assistant managers necessary to handle such a crowd Nathan Curry of the auxiliary office is the colored representative. Aside from the extras used in mob scenes four experienced race actors will be given parts: Rufus Brown, Jack Pryor, J. B. Horrow, and Ernest White. Associate of Darrow victim of Attack Associate of Darrow victim of Attack Detroit.—Remembrances of the famous Sweet segregation case were aroused on Dec. 8th, when a bomb was hurled into the home of Julian Perry, race lawyer, associated with Clarence Darrow in the defence of 14 colored citizens in the Sweet trial. The victim of the bombing attempt recently moved into a white neighborhood, and it is thought that white segregationalists hurled the bomb in an effort to frighten him away. The bomb failed to explode INDIANA REJECTS SEGREGATION Indianapolis.---Judge Chamberlin of the Marion circuit court has held tnat the segregation ordinance past bv the council last March is un- constitutional. The purpose of the ordinance was to effect segregation of the two races as far as concerned residence. It forbade colored people to live in property in a white neigh- borhood, even although they might own it, without the consent of the Ueighbors, and it applied the same rule to white people living in colored neighborhoods. The fatal defect was that it made the right of the citizen to live on his own property depen on consent of other citizens. Judge Chamberlin said : “This case is not and.cannot be amenable to police regutation. The purpose of the ordinance is to pre- vent strife between the races. De- sirable as this is and important as is Preservation of public peace, this aim canuo: be accomplished by laws or ordinances which deny rights created or protecteu by the Feueral constitution.’” The judge incidentullv added that surrounvings in colored neighbor- goods should be made as goud as those !n white sections. “CREATION” Negro Melndy a Success (Columbia Press Bureau) New York.---The predominating feature of the concert given by the League of Composers recently, and which resulted in resounding ap- plause and even cheers from an un- commonly brilliant and representa- tive audience was Louis Gruenbergs setting of “Creation,” the verse bv James Weldon Johnson and the per- formance by Julius Bledsoe, baritone and Serge Koussevitsky, conducting a group of players from the Boston Symphony orchestra. How far the effect of this work would have gone, what impression it would have made, lacking the race und pictorial quality of the poem and the dramatic delivery of Mr. Bledsoe, it is not easy to sav. The work was a sweeping success and the only one of the concert. Mr Bledsoe showed exceptional intelli- gence and histrionic as well as vocai capacities in his performance. He made the composer’s meaning cleat and rrade it felt with true power.

ANNUAL MEETING The N.A.A.C.P, Norther Cat fornia branch, held a mestiny of th board of directors on Yonday ev: - ning, Dec. 13th, at the residence of Mrs. De Hart, the secretary, with President J. D. Drake in the ch.ir. After the usual routine of busin. ss matters of importance were taken up and discussed. A nominating com- mittee of five was selected to nomi- nate a ticket for the ensuing year. President Drake announced that he was not a candidate for re-election, but he let the fact be known that in case some dark horse was entered and the members felt that his election would nyt be for the best interests of the association, he stood ready to go again, and he said that he was sutisfied that he could beat anv selling-platers and steeple-chas- ers that entered. Hy reported tha: the case of a colored lady who had been selected to serve in a Fruitvale booth at the election on Dec. 20 and a protest had been entered bv white women, had been taken up with the city clerk, and he suid that all she had to do was to present herself on that morning. Annual election of officers will be held at Fifteenth street church on Monda. evening, December 20, and all the financial members would be allowed to vote. Marechal Niel lodge, K. P., held a well attended meeting on Tuesday night, with the ld war horse, J. C. Rivers, in the cbair. Thev met on time, and closed ahead of scheduie time after transacting much import ant business and initiating one can- didate into the mysteries of the Knight’s rank.

Allen, Mrs. Butler, Jack Kimbro, and Ivan Allen made up a delightful motoring party to Santa Rosa last Sunday and were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. James Hinds of that city. The special election to vote bonds for schools in Berkeley last Saturday failed to receive the required two- thirds majority.

ADELINE AND SEVENTH ST REAL SATISFACTION ASSURED ALONG CLOSE to $800,000,000 a year is the annual economic loss due to automobile accidents, both fatal and non-fatal. This appalling sum is only an estimate, as no complete figures on the number of automobile accidents in the United States are available, but it has been conservatively estimated that 22,600 lose their lives each year by automobiles, and $5,000 a human life is the lowest value put on it by economists. ALL LINES CORRECT HAIRDRESSING SALON Of non-fatal accidents 678,000 occur annually, causing average cost of $175. Then, each accident averages $50 property damage, insurance records show. This makes the staggering total of $581,650,000 a year. MRS. CAPITOLA CLOUD No account is taken here, points out the Stewart-Warner Safety Council for the prevention of automobile accidents, of the economic value of time loss by the injured due to delays caused by accidents or to minor property values, such as bent fenders, expense incurred while motor vehicles, particularly the commercial ones, are out of service, due to accidents. Were all these taken into the reckoning, the total figure would surely be doubled, or around $1,113,750,000. MARCELLING SHAMPOOING MANICURE FACIALS Some idea of the enormity of this economic loss, most of which is avoidable, can be gained by such relationships as these: it is twice the cash income of the 1923 wheat crop; it is equal to about one-third of the much-discussed French debt to this country; and, finally, this loss would buy the entire city of Chicago at its present reality assessment valuation. 2530 SUTTFR ST HOURS 9 A.

Derrick's Dime Pay Annual Dividend The Martha Derrick Dime saving society, an exclusive organization made up of only members members of the Derrick families has been organized over 25 years ago, to perpetuate the name of Mother Derrick after she had passed to her golden reward. IT'S a far cry from the full skirts, wasp waists and leg o' mutton sleeves of twenty-five years ago, but we have traveled also a long way from the two-cylinder gas wagon of 1900 to the high-powered motors speeding over our highways today, declares the Stewart-Warner Safety Council. They meet annually to declare dividends on their investments. Each one pays 15 cents a month or $1.80 a year. This week Mrs E. Lundy, treasurer, is paying $5.48 to each member as his share of his earnings—not a bad investment for $1.80, eh? A quarter of a century ago there was one automobile for every 9,500 people in the United States. Ten years ago there was one automobile for every 33 people, while today the motor population is one-sixth as large as the human population, or one car to every six people. This rapid growth has put the automobile as foremost among American industries, but it has also produced a fearful menace to the public, points out the Safety Council which has for its purpose the prevention of automobile accidents. A vigorous campaign of public education must be pushed if annual rate of automobile fatalities is to be reduced from 22,000.
