Magett this week Rev. and Mrs. Peter Powers, who have been in the missionary field of the Pentecostal church for many months, have returned to San Francisco and were met with a large congregation on Sunday, June 12th. They spent much time in Hawaii. The general assembly of the Pentecostal church will meet in this city in June. Jos. Larkin, who is confined to his home, will be taken to his home in Paris, Ky., this week by his brother. FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND, Mrs. Cornelia Jones Robertson of Emmanuel gospel mission will leave in July for an Eastern trip. A few of the colored ladv delegates to the Presbvterian assembly were domiciled at the Y.W.C.A. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE San Francisco Branch On June 1, the branch was honored by the presence of many of the delegates of the Presbvterian assembly together with representatives of Northern California branch. Owing to shortness of time to advertise the meeting, the attendance was not as large as hoped for, but the meeting was a success. Mrs. H. L. McCrorev of Charlotte, N. C., was the speaker of the evening; she brought us an unusual message. Rev. McCrorev, her husband, is president of Johnson C. Smith college. San Francisco, why not strive to be first in everything that is for the benefit of humanity? Join the N.A.A.C.P. A mother's dramatic programme will be given at A.M.E.

In addition she will receive the National Farm News direct from Washington, D.C. each week. The friends of J. Howard Butler will be glad to learn that, wholly unsolicited he is named and unanimously elected to the San Francisco chamber of commerce, the first man of the race to claim this distinction in the metropolis of the West. Mr. Butler is well known as an energetic highly esteemed business man with establishments in San Francisco and Oakland. He is the vice-president of the San Francisco branch of the N.A.A.C.P. We are confident of his success in the new field of civic and commercial action because of the impregnable force back of him—namely, his devoted wife, who works untiringly at his side and the loyal, race-loving citizens, not only of the bay region, but of numerous other places where he is so widely known for his integrity and genteel personality. No man can rise to a place of worth while distinction without lifting his race with him. Mrs. L. Tonsonland was hostess at a beautiful luncheon on Saturday June 4, at her home on Greenwich street, in honor of Miss V. Bowles, who is about to make her departure to visit relatives back East. Those present were Mmes P Rutherford and Donlee Dean of Oakland, L. McDuffie, B. Fincher, E. Jones, L. R. Thomas, T. Kaywood, and J. W. Carmel of San Francisco. There was whist, with prizes. Mrs. Dean was awarded the first prize and Mrs Rutherford the booby. The guests departed, thanking Mrs. Tonsonland for the beautiful luncheon and wishing Miss Bowles a pleasant trip. All the paper transactions for the Western Outlook through its agent in San Francisco, Mrs. Lena M. Parker, are, beginning June 1, 1927 strictly cash.

Miss Eleanor is the second daughter of Thomas Hinds and the former Pearl Barbour and the granddaughter of the B. L. Tyrrels. Athletic Club Smoker The Athletic club of the Booker, Г. Washington community centre is preparing for its big smoker, to be held on June 15. They have lined up six fast bouts, and if the boys show as much pep and class in the ring as they do in the "gym..." we predict every bout a good fight. With few exceptions, the boys all show up well in the work-outs. We see a future in the game for a couple of them. Geo. Griffin and Robert French fight the six-round main NE 11, 1927 NO.186 event. There will be a special event by Battling Bailev and Kid Burnett. The rest of the card is Gibson and Brown, Adams and Horner, Stewart and Richardson, Stuart and Cleaver and Rilev and Weaver. They are inviting ladies to attend. FLOOD SUFFERERS The benefit given for the flood sufferers at Scottish Rite Temple by the Cosmos club was a grand success. It is estimated that 500 were present. We will say more about it next week. Mrs. Libby Ferguson and mother who have been touring Southern California for the past two months report a wonderful time. They are expected home on the 17th. Miss Carolyn Carrington made her debut in society last week. A party was given by her mother, Mrs. Rebecca Carrington, at Athens Home Auditorium. Her sisters assisted in receiving. She received many beautiful presents. Y.W.C.A. Y.W.C.A. LINDEN BRANCH The health education committees wish to thank the public for the splendid patronage which made the June bazaar a phenomenal success. None of the booths were slighted. They were soon divested of their dainty wares and the proceeds were pronounced gratifying. The first of a course of lectures on the "Adolescent Girl" was given June 6. Others will follow on June 13, 15, 20, and 22. This course is offered by the Girl Reserve committee, and is designed for those who wish to understand and help girls. The committee is fortunate in having obtained a most able faculty. It is hoped that the course will result in more perfect sympathy between the girl and the woman who seeks to help her.

JUNE 11. 1927 Our esteemed contemporary the Western American, is still throwing flowers at themselves because they have weathered the tempestuous sea of journalism for one year. "The race is not to the stong, but to the tundreth to the end." Flowers as tokens of appreciation while we are alive help some, but it takes money to run a paper. We congratulate you on your success. The Negro press of St Louis is unitedly conducting a city-wide survey for the purpose of fostering all business conducted by our people, and seeking out those other concerns catering almost exclusively to colored people, to determine how many of our own boys and girls, men and women, are given jobs, and a chance to learn the business. This is what we have advocated in these columns, but as our leaders are so busy promoting their own selfish schemes they can find little time to give to their fellow men. Our population is variously estimated from 9,000 to 20,000 around the bay. We eat, wear clothes, pay rent, buy homes, automobiles and spend money for every commodity that other groups indulge in. Who gets this money? The business men of this community. And what do they give our group as inducement for this business? Almost nothing.

It would not be a joke if all our trade was transferred to a concern which thought enough of our patronage to give our boys and girls a chance. It is about time we quit running after those people who treat you with contempt, and try and do something for ourselves. Build up our own industries, get together and put away your hammers. Are we to sit idly at the gate of destiny, and allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the foreign hordes coming to this coast? If we do, posterity will curse us, and speak of their fathers and mothers in terms of contempt. The politicians have been hoisted on their own poniard now that the people at the last election adopted what is known as the Federal apportionment measure taking the control of the State Senate from the large centres of population, giving it to the so-called "cow counties." The howl is ascending to high heaven, and the initiative is to be invoked to hold up the matter until the people can pass on the act again. Of course politicians have no one but themselves to blame for their failure to do their plain duty because they could not agree on an equal division of spoils in the last ten years. Each section has been jockeying for advantage and thus like the jackass they stand to lose all when they begin --- J. E. WYSINGER Phone Piedmont 4229-W to bray. The fight promises to be warm, as those ambition Solons who stand to lose their jobs will not give up without a struggle. The Progress Bonds Filled with the spirit of enthusiasm and confidence of victory for the Progress bonds at the election next Tuesday, a statement was issued this week by Henry Boyen, chairman of the executive committee of the citizens' organization which is directing the campaign for success of the bonds. Boven's statement, a message of inspiration to the great number of citizens who are working for the passage of the Progress bonds, follows: "The thousands of San Franciscans who are working devotedly for success of the Progress bonds are this week in the final stages of the climb towards a height that should reveal to the people of this city a prospect of glorious growth and achievement. "The election for the Progress bonds on Tuesday, June 14th, holds the promise of that vision of great destiny for San Francisco. "The call has gone straight to the hearts of the citizens, and never before in the history of our city has there been such a spontaneous response. Civic clubs and their membership in every section of our city have united under the common banner of progress, and all are putting their shoulders to the wheel to make the victory that is certain to come a most impressive one. The spirit of success is in the air. "Passage of the Progress bonds will mark the great turning point in our city's history, and we of to dav can scarcely estimate the untold advantages that will flow to the San Francisco of the future, to our children, and their children, to whom we owe this great heritage. "In the Progress bonds, we San Franciscans are presented with a test of our faith in our own future. A man who will not make the investments necessary to provide for the future expansion of his business is a man who has no faith in that business, and a community that will not make wise provision for its future growth is a community that is beginning to stand still. The test of faith will be met on June 14 —Progress will win. "Water, transportation, and adequate cultural opportunities are the prime necessities for the healthy, unimpeded growth of cities. The Progress bonds meet these needs for San Francisco and meet them full measure. And they do the with virtually no charge upon the taxpaver. "We must acquire the Sprii Vallev system, and we can new buy it any cheaper. The price we rise if we permit our option to expire. It is a fair price. By the Railroad Commission. By delaying we merely defer benefits and profit that will flow to San Francisco under municipal ownership and operation of the system. "The railway extensions and the Bernal cut are vital to development of new residential areas to provide for realization of our latest slogan: 'A Million by 1930.' It has been pointedly stated that we cannot expect that new population to wall We must provide car service "The War Memorial is a splendid project that will not only provide needed facilities for patriotic and cultural expression, but will give us another brilliant attraction as a recreation centre sought by tourists and visitors. "By voting the Progress bond we can get all these tremendous important improvements, and get them with no perceptible burden in taxes." The bond election to be held Tuesday means much to citizen of the metropolis. Purchase of the Spring Valley water system is a necessity, as is the extension of the municipal railway, and if fact, all the bonds should carry as they are vital to the progress of this great city. Let every citizen who is interested in the future of the city go to the pol and vote. A two-thirds majority is needed to carry the bond. Do not let a minority block you city's progress. Tuesday June TO HOLDERS OF SECOND LIBERTY LOAN BONDS EXCHANGE OFFERING OF NEW TREASURY BONDS Notice is given of a new offering of UNITED STATES TREASURY BONDS dated June 15, 1927, and bearing interest from that date at the rate of 3% per annum, and the bonds will mature in twenty years, but the bonds will be called for redemption after sixteen years.

It would seem that the most important job in Washington is either that which Hoover holds down, or a of holding down Hoover. The Literary Digest has issued a number containing all the important facts regarding Italy. It also carries a picture of the King. Cabinet ministers are much like ourselves, says a writer. That is the out of thing which tends to make the average man feel humble. Probably the funniest thing that has developed in national politics lately is the horrified fear of the Ohio crowd lest Lammany get hold of the government and corrupt it. English people resent the fact that American newspapers continually print stories about the Prince of Wales being thrown from his horse. It is our idea that the best way for them to remedy this is to tell the Prince about it, and not American newspapers. According to a departed spirit, there are no moving pictures in heaven.

Experiments are being conducted in Texas whereby cotton is gathered by a mechanical contrivance mounted on a sled. The contrivance consists of long fingers which protrude from the sled. These fingers stare the stalk, and clean it of all cotton bolls. The fingers may be set down to touch the ground, and thus put up cotton which has fallen. Pick boll: drop into a wooden trough a motion of the sled forces them in a compartment whence they are carried to the scales.

He also deplored a tendency to convert the Chrristian pulpit into a rostrum for discussion of political themes. "The Episcopal church deals with principles rather than policies," he said, "and men and women will follow better the leadership of a man who refuses to become entangled in controversies and contentions that belong to the forum and the halls of legislation." Other religious leaders would do well to follow Bishop Freeman's example in this regard. What is needed from the Christian church is the daily exposition by precept and example of the old-fashioned religlon and setting of high moral standards not only for the young, but for all people. That is a gigantic task in itself, enough to occupy all the time and energy of all the churches. Benjamin Davis on Negro Physicians Columbian Press Bureau Writing on "Our Death Rate" in the "Atlanta Independent," Editor Benjamin Davis says: "The argument is almost conclusive that the Negro patient does not receive the same high-class scientific treatment that the white patient is receiving. The average Negro doctor, when he leaves school, never posts. He takes no hospital training; he does not subscribe for or CHARLES BAKER, MANAGER CHARLES BAKER MANAGER read medical journals, nor scientific works bearing upon his profession.

Widow Asks $100,000 in Fuseral Suit Insisting on a military funeral for her husband and contending that she was denied possession of his body for burial, Mrs. Carrie L.

The undertaking firm of Hudson & Butler and St. Mary's cemetery are made co-defendants in the suit. The widow obtained temporasy restraining order to prevent burial of her husband without her sanction. Harold J. Smvles was shot by a Berkeley policeman on May 27. At the time the wife was in Houston, Fex., and wired the coroner to hold the body until she arrived. She contends the cemetery officials and the mother-in-law refused to give up the body. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People RELEASED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BRANCH, OAKLAND Taken from Akron, Ohio, paper If there is one organization in the United States, formed to promote and protect the interest of American Negroes, which we endorse without reservations, it is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. There are several features about this great Association which stands out so boldly, that they significantly separate it from all other organizations of similar nature. Off-handed, we think of these: 1. This Association was conceived purpose of procuring for ALL New freedom and rights guaranteed the institution. It is unselfish. One member to receive its benefits. 2. Its staff of workers, added university in America, would racculty in learning and intelligence. 3. There has never been in it imporizing, when the principles for stake. 4. Neither the honesty, intergrity member of its staff, can be opponent. 5. The learning, the efficiency individual members of its staff a whole of America to pick from, single substitution could be made the organization. 6. Its many accomplishments by single one justifies its organization continuance. 1. This Association was conceived and birthed for the purpose of procuring for ALL Negroes in America the freedom and rights guaranteed to them under the Constitution. It is unselfish. One does not have to be a member to receive its benefits. 2. Its staff of workers, added to the faculty of any university in America, would raise the average of the faculty in learning and intelligence. 3. There has never been in its history an instance of temporizing, when the principles for which is stands were at stake. 4. Neither the honesty, intergrity nor the courage of any member of its staff, can be questioned by its bitter opponent. 5. The learning, the efficiency and the ability of the individual members of its staff are such, that with the whole of America to pick from, we do not believe that single substitution could be made that would strengthen the organization. 6. Its many accomplishments are such, that almost any single one justifies its organization, maintenance and continuance. Consider a few: (a) The Anti-Lynching fight and program. (b) The residential segregation victory. (c) The overthrow of the White Primary. (d) The stopping of the Grandfather clause disfranchisement farce. (a) The Anti-Lynching fight and program. (b) The residential segregation victory. (c) The overthrow of the White Primary. (d) The stopping of the Grandfather clause disfranchisement farce. (e) The Expose of Peonage. (f) The Sweet Case. (g) The Arkansas Cases. (h) The Aiken Expose. The program of this organization has been so economically conducted, that the cost per capita to the Negroes of the United States during its seventeen years of successful arfare, has been practically nothing. If the 12.000.000 Negroes in the United States were The program of this organization has been so economically conducted, that the cost per capita to the Negroes of the United States during its seventeen years of successful warfare, has been practically nothing. If the 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States were compelled to pay for its work, this work has extended over a period of seventeen years, seventeen years of warfare that required the quintessence of courage and brains, the tax would be about ten cents a person. We, therefore, endorse the work of this organization. We stand solidly behind these great men who are responsible for the wonders which it has performed. The Negro's best opportunity for complete freedom, political equality economic opportunity as well as unhampered justice, seems to us, to rest largely in the hands of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

This great achievement of our brothers in white is in marked contrast to the efforts of our group, whose project seems to have been almost forgotten. We should wake up. It can be done, but a leader is needed. F. W. Ridgeway arrived in Los Angeles on June 3. He will be the guest of his aunt, Mrs. Frank Smith and his cousin, Mrs. Eloise Simpson Mrs W. H.

Washington Community Service Centre accepted the invitation extended them to broadcast from station KPO on Fridav evening, June 3rd. They are now hard at work on material for their fall concert. Those wishing to join are urged to do so before June 15th as no new recruits will be received after that date. The summer schedule of activities is now being made, and the full announcement will be given later. All afternoon activities are planned with special view toward furnishing both educational and recreational entertainment for children during the vacation period. Enrolment is now open for a class in piano-plaving, to be conducted at the Booker Washington Community Centre. This class will be under the sole direction of the Community music school as one of its extension work groups. The objective aimed at through this class is character building of the finest sort. Careful instruction is given under expert teachers sent out from the Community music school. Since this organization is also one of the community chest agencies, a fee of only fifty cents is charged per lesson. The class will begin June 25th, and immediate enrolment is necessary OAKLAND OAKLAND Summer vacation will be shortened by two weeks for all Oakland public schools this year, according to the school department, which has changed the dates of fall and spring semesters. Calendar for school year will be as follows: August 8, school opens; Sept. 5, Labor day; Sept. 9, Admission day; Nov. 11, Armistice day; Nov. 24-27 inclusive, Thanksgiving holidays; Dec. 19th to 23rd, institute week; Dec. 23, end of the first sdmester.
