Your order or statement may have been misinterpreted because the, f and v sounds have been slurred as is the greatest fault of ali tele- phonic messages. The above sounds are the most difficult to understand over the telephone and most easily misinterpreted, according to Dr. J. C. Steinberg of the Bell Telephone Lab¬ oratories. The eminent doctor also makes the statement that women ut- ter m'ore words per minute than the average man. While the women is more rapid in conversation the man is more deliberate and glves his mess¬ ages a chance to be understood. 11 .

Leopards accounted for 218 humans, Mowgli’s Gray Brother pack for 465, bears for 78, wild boars for 85, elephants for 56. The snake is the most deadly en- emy of man thrpughout India.

H Installation of Hon. J. Kovachy Hurled Thru Bus Window, Fractures Head on Pavement Mrs. Joseph Flek of Ely, Min. died at the Shipman Hospital early Sunday morning, Jan. 5, from the effects of a car accident a few miles this side of Soudan Saturday at about two o’clock. The accident vvas caused by the collision of a car drivpn by Mr. Larson vvith the South bound bus leaving here at 1.15. Mrs. Fleck was the ohly passenger injured notvvithstanding the fact that the bus was fairly well filled. It seems that vvhen rounding a curve a few miles from McComber on the down trip the bus driver noticed a car coming his way just at the curve Ile ran to his side of the road and even into the ditch vvhere the bus came to a standstill ag-ainst a rock. The oncoming car could not nego- tiate the curve on its side of the road and hit the bus just behind the front vvheels. Mrs. Fleck saw the car coming and the impending crash from vvhere she was seated in the forward end of the bus. She got to her feet and was in* the act of trying to open the door to get out vvhen the sudden stop and impact of the car hitting the bus precipitated her through the win- dow. She \vas badly cut about the head and body in the exit through the broken vvindovv and fell to the g-round outside, her head hitting a rock, fracturing her skull. She alsa had her hand twisted' off just above the wrist, an unaccountable injury but supposed to have happened when she went through the window and before hitting the ground.

It is good news vvhen anything that is cheering is received instead of the stories that carry vvith them a sting and sorrovvful content. And it is de- cidedly good nevvs to know that Miss Vera Candon is improving her condi¬ tion very rapidly novv and is expected to come home in a fevv vveeks and be vvith her parents and Cleveland friends. Miss Vera Candon is the Ohio State co-ed vvho vvas so seriously burned last November at her Columbus home and as a result of the injuries sustained she vvas confined to the hospital for ali these long and lonesome vveeks but the confinement is almost at an end and she vvill be able to return to her home in a fevv short vveeks there to recuperate completely and be able to eontinue vvith her school vvork. It is good nevvs to receive vvord from one that has been suffering and nothing could be done to relieve the suffering except to offer a fevv vvords of encouragement and it is good to know that ali the fight that is the second nature of Vera Candon has helped to get her over the most trying moments of the by ones practice alone. Everybody needs some kind of ex- cercise to keep the body in physical trim and that is the real reason behind the existance of the Sokols. It may ,be added that vvith them the aim is coordination among a group of people • having the same high ideals and vvilling to do strenuous excercises vvith the aim to build the body and to learn the lesson that cooperation vvith people is the best preparation for life vvith others vvith whom one comes in contact. People therefore are very much in favor of supporting activities that have cooperation as their basis aflv. they also are thrilled at the perfor- mances that the Sokols put on. The performance of Sunday vvill be more that an athletic demonstrr,- tion and an ex)hibit škili and clever- ress it vvill also be an educational program for the leaders of the So¬ kols have secured Mr. Ivan Zorman vvho vvill give the opening address. It vvill be a ga’la time for ali vvho come for they vvill be entertained by a man vvho has much povver as a speaker and they vvill have an op- portunity to see the Sokols perform their tricks and tumibles on ali the gymnasium equipment.

Patriotism is one of the fundamen- tal things in the Boy Scouts Pro,- gram. Every Boy Scout is taught to love his country and revei-e its flag, but the organization makes a clean- cut distinction betvveen true patrio¬ tism and militarism. Friendship and bhoitherhood are also tWo Cardinal principles of Scouting. The F>oy Scout pledges himself in the Scout Oath to help other people at ali tinles and in the Scout Lavv affirms that a Scout is friendly and a brother to every Scout. Hovv effective is this last vvas never better illustrated than during the great World Jamboree of Boy Scouts in England last sum mer to cel ebrate the twenty-first birthday of the beginning of the Boy Scout Move- nient. There nearly 60,000 boys met on the fields of Arrovve Park, neav Birkenhead, in friendly and comity, though speaking more than fifty tongues. Side by side they lived for tvvo vveeks, boys from almost every land under the sun vvith the flags of nearly every nation flying from the Jamboree camp flag staves.

Thirteen hundred fc'oys from America, many of them the sons of immigrant families, vvere in this Scout party vvhich vvent over to England and then later visited the homelands in Europe. They and ali the rest came back home again radiating a nevv špirit tovvards the peoples of the vvorld. It is because of the great influence of this Jamboree that special emphasis upon it vvill be made at the fortbeom- ing Tvventieth Anniversary Celebra- tion of the Boy Scouts of America vvhich occurs February 7th to 13th. In many tovvns and cities in the cos¬ tumes of the Scouts of foreign na- tions vvill re-enact some of the scenes of the Jamboree.

There vvill be special interest in the lecture oh the illustrious Slovene poet because the pupils of the Slovene School have just finished studying a very brief life of the man and did not have any opportunity of learn- ing the vvorks, vvith the exception, perhaps, of the most important titles of the poems that he created. Mr. Ivan Zorman’s talk vvill give a fuller understanding 'of the importance of Dr. Franc Prešeren in Slovene litera¬ ture. This is the first of the series ot lectures that are to be presented by various speakers vvho- vvill be ir> vited to address the Senior Slovene School. The order of things is a result of the great interest shovvn in the address that Mr. Etbin Kris¬ tan gave sometime ago. Mr. Zorman is a happy choice o., the Slovene School board. Besides being a puhlic character in the life the Slovenes in Cleveland and in the vvhole of America he is the autnor of a delightful volume of poems that have created an interest in his vvorks here and abroad. Page 2 CLEVELAND JOURNAL January 9th, 1930. ,1 A "(ŠlmlanJi Intima!” Eh e American Published every Thursday by Jugoslav Prin ting and Publishing Company WHY ? This editorial is addressed to those of the Siovenes who are continually complaining that there is a decided disadvantage to be known as a Slovene saying that the fact causes them to be iooked down upon as being for- eigners. But, is being a Slov,ene drawback to anyone ? Let us examine two facts and we will leave the decision to you. First: Any person, who is a real Slovene, and, took ali the advantages that the mere fact of being born of Slovene parents gave, catinot be at a disadvantage, be- cause he or she has acquired a new language, an accom- plishment which should not be a drawback to anyone. The Slovene is a foreign language as well as Freneh, Spanish German and ali the other languages that are be- ing taken by ali pupils that register in the high schools the country. How can any one be proud that he knows Spanish, Italian, Freneh and what not and stili be ashamed that he knows a Slav language? The mere fact that the Slav languages are not the popular languages that appear on the educational currieula is not an argu¬ ment that knowing Slovene is an accomplishment to bo ashamed of. Furthermore the population of Europe is so predominan.tly Slav' that when one leariis to speak one of the Slav languages he is learning the' language of the greater number of people of Europe. Please remem- ber that Slav languages include the languages of the Poles Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenians, Croatians, and ali the countries of the Balkan Peninsula excepting Greece, and it also ineludes the language of Russia. Why should the predominance and the preference be placed on the Ro¬ mance languages and the stamp of disfavor be the badge j) of the Slav language group. If there is any logic in show ing favor for one grog p and despising the other, we fail to see it. r--.. Aside from learning the language at the school one attends the Slovene is generally always aequired at the that native born and English speaking boys and girls do not do until they are past their teens or later. Why be ashamed of knowing a foreign language? , Secondly: Some say that the learning of the Slo¬ vene language gives an accent that is a drawbaek. There are colleges in the United States today that discourage the good old fashioned American pronounciation. In the colleges referred to, one must not ask any questions but ali questions must be aasked. Should the rear of the leg hurt, you do not have a pain in the calf of the leg. but in the caalf of the leg. And if these pronouncia- tions should provoke such merriment that they must find vocal expressions please remember, that it is im- polite to laaugh. If Americans are encouraging foreign accent m the good old American language why should a Slovene be ashamed of having an accent when others who probably do not know any other language but the English go around parading fake knowledge and ridiculous pronounciation? If there is any disadvantage in knowing the Slo ven language we stili have to be shown that disadvantage. Further, i nthe study of Romance languages the knowledge of the Slovene is a decided advantage for the pupils who begin the study of Latin or Greek. The Slovene embodies ali the difficulties that are the stumb- ling block of pupils of other nationalities A study of the career of Siovenes, who attend the various high schools, shows that they have an enviable record especi- aily in the study of the languages. This position has f direct reference to the learning the Slovene in their youth and the facility of handling the foreign tongues whicl are no longer stranger to any Slovene boy or girl as it is to the English speaking people. While we ballyhoc the standing of the pupils and throw out our chests ant point with pride the achievements, we hang our heads ir shame at being Siovenes and knowing tlie Slovene. Use any logic at your command and try to figure the position that they hold who are ashamed of being known as Slo vene and who are ashamed that. they possess some ir formation that others are sorry they do not have. Why should anyone be ashamed being known as a Slovene?

Constantine vvho is said to have been a linguist, is given the credit of founding an alphabet for the Slav language that vvas spoken in Macedonia and Bulgaria, vvhich he of course knevv as a youth and at that early time he began the tran-slation of the gospels. The alphabet that he composed is a copy of the Greek minuscul, so finely planned and embodies so many sourids that lin- guists iodav marvel at its exhaustiveness. Constantine, hovvever, had r.o authority to consecrate priests that vvere ungently needed, so the brothers vvent to Rome in 867 at the invitation of Nicholas I, the pope. . On their way to Rome they passed through Panonia, vvhere Kocelj vvas the leader of the Siovenes. Kocelj vvas verv happy to see the Slovanic books and entrusted Con¬ stantine and Methodius vvith fifty cathicists. In the meai: time, Pope Nicholas, died and they vvere accepted by Hadrain 1! vvith great honor for they brought vvith them the relies cf the martyv Saint Clement. Pope ITadrain II authorized the tvvo brother: to use the Slavanic liturgy demanding only one condition; that the gospel be read first in Latin and then in Slovanic. On this occasion the Pope consecrated Methodius and many of their students as priests. Constantine vvas consecrated bishop and toc^k as his religiouž name Cyril.

But there was no foot in this slipper. Hugh tVakefield discovered it under the gaming table at Monte Carlo. He had stooped, thinking the thing he caught sight of amidst a medley of fcet to be a purse. Kverybody at the tables was far too engrossed in play to notice Hugh as he slipped the slipper into his ample Pocket. Then he tooli a look around the table to see if there was anyone whom he might spot as the owner. If those crowds had been sitting round a second-rate boarding house table playing Old Maid they couldn’t have expressed less excitement. The women were ali making a quiet busi- ness of it, jotting tiny marks do\vn in books that might have been their grocery list for the day. Hugh was disgusted. On this, his first visit to the fnmous Casino, he had expected to see wild tunnoil with women faint- ing about the floor over tlieir losses •md men dashing outside to tire tlie fnfnl sliot. His disappointment was compiete and when he arrlved back home, in Boston, his most exciting tale to teli vvas the one of the slipper, and he told it often. And tlie -Honorable Alicia Stirling, to wliom the slipper reaily belouged, hnd long since forgotten lier loss ex- eept that she kept the mate because it undoubtedIy had brought her su- preme good lučk. For tlie Honorable Alicia had very nearly broken the bnnk at Monte Carlo, and in lier ex- ciiement iiad kicked off a slipper that pinched her pet toe. In getting up from the table she forgot it, slipped into her car and was away before she gave it a thouglit. If Hugh tVakefield had found tlie pince duil, certninly Alicia had not. :ihe had been on her honeymoon. And no\v, in tlieir ancestral home tvay over in Southern Kent in Eng- land, the tale of the slipper reached ihcir ears. Through a perfect mesh- vork of friends and acquaintances the 1 ionorable. David had heard the story and had now given it, for what it was vvoi-th, to iiis wife. “My slipper! How absolutely fas- cinating! And Silvia going on her concert tour to the States?’ “Romance at work,” laughed David, i Alicia laughed, but told h in* noth- ! ing of lier pians.

None of the offerings were not \vith the idea that they fail in the landing and they landed i in the most effective places.

Tlie slipper, in his pocket, recalled other interests, and he made his way tovvard tlie artisfs entrance.

The weigbt -or preš- sure of d e ep -snow is tremendous. In order to- operate during wintei months, the Southern Pacific Com- pany has found it necessary to con- struct 32 miles of snovvsheds between Blue Canyon and Truckee. The cost was $42.000 a mile over single track, and $65,000 a mile -over double track. About $150,000 a year is sp^nt for upkeep and renewals. The aveage life of a snovvshed is 22 years. They are 'built of ma-ssive tim-bers and are designed to sustain snow 16 feet in depth. When snovv gets dee-per than 16 feet it must be shoveled off by hand. At certain points where the railway is located along steep slopes thousands of tons slide over the to p s of the sheds every vvinter. At thes-o places a kind of apron, techni-cally knovvn as a “backoff,” and 30 to 40 feet in length, is built on the up- slope of the shed in order that the snow may slide harmlessly over tha top. The deep snows of the Sierras have played a conspicuous part in the his- tory of California. While the 'high mountains themselves aeted as a bar- rier, the deep snows made them well n-gh impassable for about six months of the year. During pioneer days, many prospective settlers traveling overland from the East iperished vvhile attempting to cross the moun¬ tains during vvinter. The famous Donner party, consisting originally oi 83 persons, attempted to cross the Sierras during the winter of 1846 - 47, but 42 of them perished d-u-ring snovv. thjg tragic attempt.

White of Cleve¬ land to the Cleveland Public Li- brary. They have been placed on exhibition in two beautiful cab- inets, specially made for the pur- pose, located at the east end of the John G. White room on the third floor at the entrance to the Fine Arts Division. In the left hand čase on the top shelf are placed two groups of chess players. Those groups are of china and wou!d seem from the color and general appearance to have been made in Dresden. The men and women are in the cos- Sume of two hundred years ago when knee - breeches and full skirts and powdered hair were in fashion At one end is a minia¬ ture set of chessmen vvith a satin wood chess - board. A problem in two moves is found upon the board, with the smallest number of men possible, a white king and pawn against a black king. But čare must be taken not to give stale mate. At the other end is a larger set of chess men and board with the men placed in the position when Pardee resigned in the famous Bishop Murder Čase. On the shelf below are some beautiful little china chessmen in attractive bright colors. In one set the pieces are on horses while the pawns are on foot, and among the pieses is one riding back- wards. that the two sets of men are not duplicates. Around the board are some Chinese playing cards based on the game of chess, and they too do not have the white men a duplicate of the red or black men. On the bottom shelf in the cen¬ tre is a set of chessmen, probably from India, and surrounding it is a border of cards of a game like authors but based on chess. These cards made in Germany are most attractive vvith their bright colors, variety of design and detail. In the right hand cabinet on the top shelf is a set of elaborately carved red and vvhite ivory chess¬ men. This set and .others like Jt were obviously not made fpi Chinese but for English playefs and it is possible that the red men represent Mongolians and the white men Chinese. A close ex- amination of the bases of these pieces shows a solid little bali of carved ivory that can be turned around and around. gli:h chess player who vvrote books on chess. These have been reprinted- many times and are be- ing used today. By its side is a pocket chessboard with chessmen of the rench pattern. At the left end are some styles of travelling chessmen and boards, including the up-to-date magnetic board. The theory is that the men will not fall off vvhen the board' is up-set. THE MAKING OF A \YINDOW On the shelf below are replicas of the famous Lewis chessmen. The originals vvere found in 1831 in a sandbank at the head of the Bay of Uig, on the vvest coast of the Island of Levvis, one of the outer Hebrides. The originals vvere carved of vvalrus ivory and are novv kept in the British Mu- seum and in the Scottish National Museum. They have been as- cribed to the 1 2th century anjl by others to a later date. The kings are seated, holding half dravvn rvvord across their knees, vvhile the queens usually rest the head upon the right hand. The rooks are armed vvarriors on foot vvith helmet, shield and svvord. There is no complete set but what vvould seem to be parts of four sets. On the shelf belovv are Chinese chessmen. In the centre is a rep- resentation of a Chinese chess¬ board vvith thirtyrtwo Chinese chessmen, round fiat disks of vvood, trifle thicker than our or- dinary checkers but vvith Chinese characters on both sides. In the middle of the board is a repre- sentation of a river. Though Chinese chessmen number 16 to a side, as in our English chess, the Chinese chessmen are unique in On the tvvo next shelves are replicas of medieval chessmen, the originals of vvjhich are novv in European museums. Some of the originals vvere made for Charle migne and some represented liv ing kings and queens. At the north end of the fourth shelf are some dice from Egypt dating anywhere from 300 B. C. to 300 A. D. The ivory one« are like modem dice in that the numbers on the -opposite sides total seven. Next to them are some men, like our checkermen, probably used in a game of some kind, dating from the 19th to the 22nd dynasty (1300-1000 B.C.) These vvere probably found in in tombs. In the centre of this shelf is a board and some men of the Japanese game of Go. This game is probably the most elabor¬ ate board game of its kind vvith its 1 7 by 17 or 189 squares and vvith the pleasing rule that a man captured becomes another active man on the captor’s side. It is played vvith round black and vvhite men but upon the lines. One vvould think, naturally enough, that Japanese chess like Chinese chess vvould have the men placed upon the lines, but at a glance to the right shovvs a representation of a Japanese board vvith the chessmen on a board of 9 by 9 or 81 squares. -The men are little pieces of vvood, fiat on one side but slanting on the other, and vvith Japanese characters on both sides, sometimes the same and sometimes different. The making- of a stained glass vvindovv is one of the arts vvhich belong vvholly to the Christian Era. Its traditions do not extend back bevond the great times of Gothic architecture, and it is to the work of those times that the študent must turn, as the študent of sculp- ture and architecture turns to that of the ancient vvorld, to learn the basic principles of the art. In the Middle Ages stained glass formed an important part, but stili only a part; of that interior color decoration vvithout vvhich no church vvas considered complete; but in spite of its fragile nature it bas on the vvhole survived the attacks of time, the fury of the Puritan, the apathy and neglect of the eighteenth century, and sinister energies of tho nineteenth century restorer bettei than the painting vvhich once adorn- ed the vvalls and vvoodvvork, and for this reason ha s home to be consider- ed in these' days as peculiarly ap- propriate to churehes. zie and joined by grooved strips ol lead soldered at the joints, just as any “lattice” vvindovv is put together (and until glass vvas made in largc pieces this vvals the only vyay of. filling a vvindovv); but before this is done the details of the design—fea- tures, folds of drapery, patterns, and so on—are painted on the glass. in an opaque brovvnish enamel made oi oxide of iron and pther metals ground up vvith a “soft’ ! ‘ glass (i. e. glass vvith a lovv melting point). This is mixed' vvith oil ; or gum and vvater in order to apply' it, and then the glass is placed in a kiln and “flred tlll the enamel is fused on apd, if vvell fired, becomes part of the glass itself. This is the only “paint¬ ing” involved in the production of : stained glates vvindovv, and its ef fect, in the hand of an artist, besidei enabling hibi to express more than could be done merely vvith glass and lead is to deeorate and eririch vvhat would othervvise be somevvhat .crude and paperly in effect. THE PROCESS Stained glass is not one of the arts in vvhich the method of production reveals itself at the first glance. In- deed, so few people vvhen looking at a stained glass vvindovv, vvhether a gorgeous and solemn one of the thiipteenth or fifteenth century, or a crude and vulgar one of the nine- teenth, realize the long and labor- ious process by vvhich the result, good or bad, has been obtained, that a short description of that process as finally perfected some five hund¬ red years ago may not be out ot plače here. One hears it so often of as “paint¬ ed glass.” It is not surprising that there should be a good deal of mis- conception on the point. It must be clearly understood then that the color effects vvhich are the glory of the art are not directly produced by painting at ali, but by the vvindovv be- inig built up of a multitude of small pieces of vvhite and colored glass —glass, that is colored' in the making and of vvhich the artist must choose the exact shades he needs, cut them out to shape, and fit them together to form his design, using a separate piece for eVery color or shade of color. jn glasg, vvhich is .to paint on .vvhite glass vvith transparent colored en-! amels. As, hovvever, this method vvas not used till the severith century, and is now once more almost vvholly abr tindoned, it dofes not corcern us here The softness vvhich makes it the only practicable taetal for joinirig pieces of glass" of complicated shapes, has the disadvantages that as stained glass vvindovv vvhen leaded up has a cdnsiderable degree of flexibilty, and, if held by the edges alone, vvould he quite unable to resist the -pressure of the vvind, vvhich on a big vvindovv is enornrous—^think of the povver even tir a fresh breeze on a boat’s sail.

The cutting and jputting to¬ gether of the glass is called glazing, and it is this that gives the vvindovv color; vvhile the enamel vvork is spoken of as painting, and' gives de- tjail, richness, and texture. I shall presently shovv that the glazing and painting are really tvvo separate crafts, having separate ori- gins and development, and that stain. ed glass as we knovv it, or as it should be called is strict accuracy “stained-and-painted” glass, is tha product of their union. There is another method, far in- ferior in the beauty of its results, by vvhich pictures can be produced It vvould' not even be able to sup- port its ovvri weigkt for long, and so it follovvs that it must be held up by a system of short, metal bars fixed firmly into the Stone vvork. Naturally the design of the vvindovv must be so arranged that these bafs eithgr do not interfere vvith it br form an integral part of it. In early vvindovvs, especially those of the 12th and 13th centuries and even to some extent in those of the 14th, the bars are sufficiently important to form the governing factor in the design. It must not be thought that stained glass loses in beauty by the pres- ence of these black lines of lead and iron. On the contrary, it gains enor- mously. Large pieces of unrelieved color in vvindovvs are thin in effect and. trying to the eye, vvhich needs the continual contrast of the solid black of the lead ali over the vvindovv to enable it to appreciate the color and hrilliance of the glass. The painting vvhen rightly iuised is di- rected to the same end, for it may be, said that the smaller and more ijivided the spaces of clear glass, the more brilliant and jevvel-like is the effect.

(2) The Mosaic Character of the Glass — The designer depends foi his effect upon glass and lead, and builds up 'his vvindovv out of tiny pieces. He had learned the jevvel- like effect this gave to his vvork and seemed to grudge no labor in it. (3) The Influence of Iron Work— The vvindovvs of this period consisted from the first as we have seen of separate leaded panel s jnsterted into fhe opening of an iron lattice.

In the same way it makes the clear spaces of glass appear larger than they really are in the proportion of the obscured parts, and also tends to make them look rounded. From the fact that the glass 'be¬ tvveen the line vvork vvas left nearly clea,r, the vvork of this jperiod is more affected by irradiation than any other, and the artist had to make his line vvork very black and thick in order to teli at ali, espeeially in vvork far from the eye. For instance, if he vvished to distinguish the figures of a hand he separated them vvith black In the later periods the half-t on shading became developed into “rnatt’ or thin coat of enamel !-,'i e ve ni y ali over the 'surface of i ri glass, from vvhich, vvhen dry, t |!! lig-hts vvere brushed out and the l : vvork became more and more del" cate.
