The social calendar of the
Siovene school now has another
date encircled with red in re-
memberance of the successful
evening that the school had on
the occasion of its party that was
held on ;Saturday March lst.

It will remain a red letter day
in honor of the success that was
had. It is too bad that more
people did not have the oppor-
tunity to come, though the
party, as it was, numbered

Even the intense cold snap
i and the impending snow storm

ple away from the Twentieth
Anniversary celebration that
the Siovene Mutual association
eelebrated last Sunday afternoon

keep some of them away, many
others were willing to stake
their happiness and brave the
weather to be present at the
gloriouš and solemn activities
that took plače at the Siovene
Auditorium on St. Clair Ave.
vvhen the Association set aside
a date to make merry and cele-
brate the long avvaited day.
Many were there and all those
who did come will have no rea-
son to regret the discomfort
that they experienced in the
coming for the program that was
staged was vvorth any sacrifice.

interesting program in which the
juvenile members were formally

CLEVELAND, OHIO, THURSD AY, MARCH 6th, 1930.

Impoiriani Oates

No one ever clid any work which he immediately did
not try to improve and to make a little nicer and a little
fancier. That is something that is rooted in the nature
of men.

It has been called an instinct. If a man hunted and capt-
ured his prey he began to think of ways to improve h is
method and soon he became very efficient at hunting.
After men mastered the voice and could communicate
with each other on cornmon ground someone discovered
that the voice could be used for other purposes there is
the discovery of singing. Others in the excercise of the
homing instinct built the plainest and the most element-
ary kind of abodes but plainness was not endured for a
long time. With the passage of time men became aware
that they could make their quarters more enjoyable ann
more livable if they lhade some ornamenta on the wall,
which they did with the most primative representations
of animal, scenes with which tliey were acquainted.

What was considered in those early ages as orna¬
ment has been developed into a system which today in
our complex life becomes a vocation. People devote them-
selves to the eultivation of their voices or the develop-
ment of powers of representing living things. These are
called the arts whether they are practiced as a profession
or \vhether they are followed as an avocation.

' Things that have been created from the ornamental
adaptation are appreciated by others because of the
pleasure they give over and above the fact that they are
useful. Many things are deemed necessary which were
formerly considered a luxury. Fine artists, both those
who excell in vocalization and those who excel in deco-
ration, are people who are appreciated by others because
of the fact that they definitely supply a need the need
for enjoyment and pleasure.

The Slovenes of Cleveland will be fortunate in the
next \veek to have an opportunity of getting better ac-
quainted with both forms.pf art. The singing and the
design. Next Sunda.y one of the leading Singing Societies
will have an opportunifcy of presenting its production of
the opera at the Musič Hali in the Theatre of- Nations
series of performances and the other, Mr. Božidar Jakac,
artist extraordinarv, wijl open an exhibition of his works
of art at the Slovenc Auditorium on St. Clair Ave. There
is mučil of interest in both of the affairs one which will
have an opportunity of shmving the artistry that the non-
professional artists of singing are able to.attain despite
the fact that they do not follow singing as a vocation but
rather as an avocation, urged on only by the love of it.

The exhibition however will show to what heights a Slo-
vene can ascent when he chooses art as a profession.
Which of the two will be more interesting is a matter
hard to decide. Each has its merits which will make it
hard to decide not to attend both and there seems to be
no reason why there should not be a patronage at both
which will be a credit to the Slovenes of Cleveland.

Most of the Slovenes are aware of the importanee
both events and what it means to them. It is seldom that
two events of such major importanee come together in
one week. Perfonning an opera for the general public
is a rare event at any rate while an exhibition of the
vvorks of the greatest of Slovene artists is a stili rarer
event. Slovenes will find themselves bewildered by each,
of the events. but they will be more satisfied when they
have enjoyed the two rare privileges.

Bv F. T. SUHADOLNIK

Of ali the works that were performed bv the Re-
formers in Slovenia the most important is the trans-
lation of the Bible, wlhich \vas published by George
Dalmatin.

Dalmatin was born about the year 1546 at Krscich
province and attended Bohoreic‘s academy until his
18th birthday. After that time he attended the sem-
inary of Bebensen on Tubingen through the 1'inan-
cial heip tihat Trubar and Krelj provided by popular
subseription of the interested peasantry. However his
etay at Tubingen was shortiived and after one year
he was enrolled in Teffern school, \vhcre he. studied
the dassice ianguages together v/ith theology. At this
time he became interested in the Slovene limguage and
learned to read and write it oue no doubt to the en-
couragemont of Primož Trubar \vho was his special
patron. Aiready as a študent at Tubingen he transla-
ted the Dook of Moses of the Old Testament. In 1569
he was given the chair of philosophy and in 1572 he
came to Ljubljana as a preaeher of German and Slo¬
vene. Witrh his arrival he brought with him the in¬
terest in the printing press, especiallv s inče in three
years dfter his arrival into Slovenia he completed the
complete translation of the whole Bible. He presented i
the mamrseript. to be read and accompanied them Avith
fervent hope that they. be printed. For this purposc
Janz Mandelc established a shop in Ljubljana but be¬

cause. of diffieulties with the regal authorities the

Bible vvas never printed in.Slovenia.

While the dickering. for rights- and; permission was
going on Dalmatin published seyeral commcntraies on
the Bible. His work-s in this direction. are comprisod
jn two books the first, “Jesus Sirah,” 1575 and the

next five of the Books. of Moses, 1578 and follovved by
“Solomonove Pripuvifti” (Stories of the King Solom-
on). Besides these works he composed several hymns
the mc.anwhile the nobl&s and the wealthy patrons
of the Bi’ple have united in the defraying of the ex-
penses of printing a Gommittee on Revisions theole-
gians and masters in Slovne language Avere invited to
Ljubljana. In a period of two months the preliminary
work was completed and the work pronounced satis-
factory for publication.

At that time the Princesa of the state had the
right.to.reguiate the operations ofithe printing presses
espepially in regards to the printing of the Bible which
was considered,a regal privilege. With this in mind
Prince Charles closed Mandele’& print shop and exiled
the printer: himself. Hovvever the Bible was printed
at the print shop ofithe decendants of Plans Kraft. The
eopy proofs were read by Dalmatin and Bohorcic wiho
v/ith three friends travelled to Woyyenberg with the
manuseripts. The complete Bible was subsequentl,y
printed in five months having the title “Bibila, tu je
vfe fve.tu pismu” and was issued tovvard the close of
1583. The complete edition ran in 1500 copies and waa
shipped into Slovenia in barrels as contraband good
marked as merchandise.

At. the same time Dalmatin published two other
books: the fifth edition of the Hymnal and a prayer
book copied from the prayer book of Meusel. The
prayer books had the title “'Kariž,hanike lepe molitve.”
After his return to Slovenia, Dalmatin was given the
pastorial of the Catholie parish at Slcocijan near Tur¬
jak through the vokmtary gift of two Turjak brothers,
Dalmatin died suddenlv in Ljubljana in 1589. <

Dalmatin’s Bible is one of the most important
vvorks in the Slovene language for by it the founda-
tion ofithe Slovene language Avas established and the
direction of the literary language Avas made. His Bible
has the same relation to the Slovene as Luthers Bible
has to the German. The latter aimed at a popular
translation in a simplified and'  a cornmon understand-
able German that is spoken “by the mother in the
home, the man in the Street” he wanted to talk a

“German language not Latin or Greek.” Dalmatin
hovvever remained on the track that Trubar pointed
out; thr v t*the language be a spoken Slovene and a good
Slovene translation of 'the Lutheran Bible not the
Greek or Latin.

As a Avhole the Bible is freed from the stulted Slo¬
vene of Trubar’s Bible and eontains a freer use of
idiomatic Slovene phrases though a great deal of Tru¬
bar’s roughness ofllanguage remains. The great value
of the Avork Iies. in the accession and the use of Slo¬
vene Avords instead of the foreign expression that are
found in Trubar. In general Dalmatin wanted to use
good and familiar Slovene words and phrases instead
of the importations of Trubar. Besides some of the
ciharacteristically Slovene expressions of Trubar- dis-
appeared and was substituted by an inferior expres-
sion. As a whold the translation is a marvelous book
not only from the consideration that the work accom-
plishecl but the fact that the language \vas strong
enough to survive and appear in the condition that it
did appear only thirty years after the first book \vas
published., The pioneering work was particukrly dif-
ficult because it meant the invention of eomp!etely
new Avords that were unknovvn to.the people as such
ivhich had to espress abstract terms in which the
Bible abounds. The bulk of the credit, of eourse, be-
longs to Dalmatin and a good share to those wiho pre,
ceeded him in the pioneering, especially Trubar.

The Bible Avas printed • for the Pyeachers and the !
ministers many copies found their Avays into the hum-
ble homes of Slovenia. Being a Protestant edition the
Catholie clergv and laity was forbidden to use the
text. By special permission from the Pope, in 1602,
the clergy of the Catholie church Avere allowed to use
it, though the copies were taken from the peas,?ntry as
much as possible. This done because of the con-
i/ary teadbing that were, inejined in the preface and
tne text. The preface was an exposition of the Pro¬
testant religion.

Later when a Catholie edition was published many
of Dalmatin’« Avords were taken bodily from the text
and included in the Catholie Bible. The significance of

the Bible can be gained by the fact that the la«e

ot tne Bible today is much the. same as that of Data
tm.

Charley Fox was in demand,
and since he could not wrestle
and look after the affairs of
Ernie, he found it necessary to
get a new manager. The new
manager- was J. J. Larsen. Lar-
sen at once arranged bouts in
Kentucky, Pontiac Michigan,
Toledo, and Columbus, where
Ernie met}' and defeated most
of his opponents. The more
prominent ones being Al Ross,
Dixie Allen, Hugh McDonough,
and Al _ Jordan. This led to a
match with the Champion, John-
ny Billither, to whom he lost.
This bout took plače in Toledo
before an immense crowd that
packed the hali ta see this high-
ly ballyhooed youngster from
Cleveland.

He gave up wrestling for a
while. During the summer of
1917 he worked at Luna Park as
a fancy diver. To lead to this

fcecame profieient in fancy- div-

off springing boards made up
of lumber which vvas easily
found along the lake.

At* the close of the season ai

Saturday night ali paths will
lead to the St. Clair Bath House
where three very interesting
games will be pla.yed. Tihis, per-
haps, will be the only opportun-
ity of seeing the entire league
display its wares( and forms),
and a capacity crowd is expect-
ed. Admission is free.

The curtain raiser will bring
togeher the Spartans and St.
Ann’s; followed by Geo. Wash-
ington’s who will try to outdo
the leading ladies, namely, the
Sokols. In the feature seto the
Comrades will strive to down
the Flashes. If tihey succeed,
the Flashes will fall into a tie
with St. Ann’s. However, the
latter must also win Saturday
to bring this about.

The girls are displaying a good
br&nd of bali each time out.
This proves the old adage
“practice makes perfect.” They
are to be given credit for their
pluck in playing a game that
years ago was considered too
strenuous for their sex. Today

the tie up in traffic.

Tony Kuhel, captain of the
Loyalites, was prancing excited-
ly, inquiring the vvherabouts
of “Stanko” Kromar who is one
of■ the Loyalite mainstays. The
lead-off men took their turn
and the Loyalites were in des-
pair, for they were bowling
their bitter rivals, the Com¬
rades, with a handicap. Just
tben Kromar came dashing in ali
out of breath. Captain Kuhe!
asked him stemly v/hy he was
so late. “Oh”, said Stanley,
“belive it or not — the street
car got frozen.”

We have reference to the Loy-
alite-Comrade tangle. In their
previous meeting the Loyalites
bested the Comrades in the first
round by vvinning two out of
three. The Comrades came back
in the second round and evened
up matters.

With the teams in a dead-
lock, they met again Sunday in
the third and final round of the
season. The Loyalites won the
first game. Comrades came back
to vvin the second. The score
betvveen the teams for the sea¬
son now stopd at four won and
four lost. The last game be-
tween these friendly rivals won
by the Comrades. Loyalites
bowled off form in their anx-
iety to vvin.

Adolph Tekautz was the Coni-
rade highlight with a two hun¬
dred twenty-one score.

Billy Scully, the Slugging Slo-
vene and former middleweight
State Champ who has not en-
gaged in battle for thirteen
months, came back last Friday
to score a knockout over Steve'
Bonus at the Slovenain National
Home, East 65th and St. Clair
Avenue. Billy dropped 'Steve
for the count in tbe first round.
Hovvever, the beli saved Steve
while the referee was in the act
of tolling the fatal ten.

The opening of the second
round found Steve as fresh as
ever. He began to rough Billy
around. During a clinch Billy
broke away, then crossed his
riglht mauler to his opponents
jaw. Steve fell to the floor like
a. load of bricks and stayed
dovvn.

ill give as its presentation in. ST. CLAIR MUNY FISH VERY

Its almost here folks. Tihe big
day, March 16!

Are you going? Of course
you are! Anybody who wants
to have a good time and a very
enjoyable evening should go to
the Slovenian Auditorium on
March 16th, and see the Com-
rades put over a three act com-
edy “Color Blind,” in the Com-
rade fashion.

You shouldn’t miss seemg
Johnny Aličih playing the role of
that sissy. And how he screams!
Description is impossible you
must come and hear him!

Talk about your “it” girls,
Vida Bellinger as “Tuffy” cer-
tainly will give her best.

We couldn’t forget the maid!
She supplies ali the cracks and
the vvise cracks. Can Milly
Tomšič do it. Oh boy, and how!
Come and see her make love to
her sugar daddy, Ambrose. Ali
the wax fruit in the dish on the
table melts and runs on the
rug. No stove needed for her
on the dull and cold winter eve-
nings. And who is Ambrose?
Well he is the surprise of the
evening. We’ll teli you about
him and the remaining members
of the čast in tihis column next
vveek.

Fun! Frolic! Frivoltv! They
vvill be supreme on the. evening
of the 16th. Dancing will fol-

the Theatre of Nations series of
nationality productions, “Urh,
grof celjski.”

On Thanksgiving day Zarja
presented the opera to the full
auditorium of Slovenes, though
here and tihere a strange face
could be seen. On the whole it
was a Slovene audience listening
to a Slovene production given by
a Slovene society.

Next Sunday the performance
at the Musič hali of the Public
Auditorium will be given for
other nationalities and for 100
per cent Americans.

It is a fact that Zarja is not
the Metropolitain Opera Com-
pany and therefore rehearsals
are mueh more diligent to iron
out ali the minor faults and de-
tails tihat were evident at the
previous presentation at the Slo¬
vene auditorium.

With an aagmented orchestra
and the latest there is in scene
ry next Sunday’s performance
vvill benefit from the experience
of its previous presentation.
Coupled with these an opportun-
ity to give attention to the mi¬
nor details. It is evident that
the performance will aehieve
newer and stil) greater success.

The offerings of the other na¬
tionalities • were highly suceess-
ful not only from the standpoint
of presentation but also from the
packed house?: It is hoped that
the Slovenes will be as interest-
ed in their presentation as the
other nationalities were in
their s.

Congratu-

By Frank A. Sodnikar

It may seem strange to any-
one reading this, that it has for
its title “Pests”. Some may not
even knovv vvhat a pest is and in
order to enlighten their lcnovvl-
edge, they vvill look into Web-
ster’s Abridged Dictionary, late
1931 edition. But they vvill soon
begin to think that the pretty
salbsgirl at Burrow’s, vvho had
sold them the dictionary, has
pulled a fast one on them. They
vvill accuse her of not selling
them a complcte dictionarv. Al.!,
because they vvill not fin d the
word “pest’ 1  in it. The reason
is, that Mister Webster deemed
a pest so lowly a.creature, as
not to be worthy of a plače in
his “Whc.’s Who.” But stili 1
believe that the least a vvritev
could do for Ihis vietims is to
explain his title. We!l, to start,
man is a rational aoimal. A
pest has the same definifon,
e'xcept: that the '“rational” is
left out. But, “animal,” aguin.
is too vagin*; Some may argun
that an anhral may he anvthing
a bear, a cat, a dog, in fact, am 7 -
thing. But' a pest is the vvorst
of his jpi. .ies. You meet him
ali over—on the s!:«tt, in tke
hali and e-en at h. m c. He is
a greater nissane* Ihan a Ih,n
vvould he. A lion vvould at least
kili /ou i:>tantly, but a p,vi
vvears you to death, second l»y

the externvnation of pests ir

White 11■ . 1 e of pe,«{£, and he

Pest understood this not, and j
gave his unvvelcome opinions
about it. During the game, he
again yelled and cheered, “Come
on Joe” ‘Thafs the stuff Dutch’
“You shovv ’em Sox” and vvhat
not. Instead of going from the
plače vvith regret, I vvent avvay
vvith a feeling of relief.

As a cure, I vvould, therefore,
subject ali those against Capital
punishment for pests to an hour
vvith one. I am sure they vvould
be their enemies from that
hour on. It vvould not be long
then, that the vvorld vvould be
rid of them ali. But do you
realize that then there vvould
not be a single person left on
earth? Do you lcnovv that al¬
most everyone is a pest to soms-
one else? But, as this opens a
discussion of another column or
tvvo, I do not vvish to enter in¬
to’ it, for fear that you vvould
then be in favor of killing one
single pest, namely, yours truly.

But. some may say I am t-:o

saying that has never been a
pest’s victim. But I have been,
and I think that tihe vvorst is
too good for them. Last yeaf
I sat in Public hali vvatching
Cleveland and Fort Wayne for
the world basketball title. I
went there vvith the intention of
having a good time and making
an evening of it. Hovvever, my
great misfortune was to have a
seat behind a so-called pest. The
first prelimenary was enjoyed,
because he wasn’t tihere yet.

the man vvho is responsible for
the collection. As. an artist, Mr.
Božidar Jakac ranks well among
the highest of Jugoslavia and is
seriously considered as one of
the finest and the most talented
artists in Europe. Having a
natural talent in tihe artistic
lines Mr. Jakac has ever been
enchanted by the use of pencil
and paper in reproduction of
scenes and making them live a
life of their own on the paper
on vvhich they vvere made. Ever
since he could vvield a pencil he
was interestecl in art and has il-
lustrated scenes from the novelg
that ihte read as a liftle bov.
Some of his work dates back to
the time when he was stili in
his teens but even at that ear,ly
date signs of the future man
vvere evident. After hard toil
and struggle he aCcomplished
many worth vvhile things even
before he could think of entei"-
ing professional art schools.
Since his graduation from the
Professional schools he has dis-
tinguished himself in ali the di-
visions of drawing and design.
His numerous exhibits have
won him recognition and atten¬
tion of some of the greatest
criticš of Europe.

Mr. Jakac is a very profilic
worker and has been successful
in ali tihe branches of art. In
the International Exposition of
Recorative Arts he was awarded
a raedal for the work at that' ex-
hibition. Since that time repro¬
duction s of his works have ap-
peared in practically every art
magazine in Europe and mam/
in America. He has also gained
a vvide repute in the other gra-
phic arts.
