ZANIMIVOSTI VOLITEV Vsake volitve so zanimive, letošnje .predsedniške oziroma narodne volitve, ki so se završite 3. novembra, so bile pa še posebno. Zanimive so bile za tiste, katerim je bilo mnogo ležeče na tem, da ti ali oni kandidati zmagajo, in zanimive so bile za nepristranske opazovalce in za tiste, ki so bili bolj ali manj nevtralni. V naslednjem naj bi bile navedene nekatere najbolj vidne posebnosti zadnjih volitev. Volitev se je udeležilo nad 42 milijonov državljanov, to je mnogo več kot katerih koli prejšnjih volitev. Sedanji predsednik Franklin D. Roosevelt, predsedniški kandidat demokratske stranke, je bil izvoljen s tako veliko večino oddanih glasov kot še noben predsedniški kandidat pred njim. Dosedanji podatki kažejo, da je bilo za Roosevelta odda-; nih 25,936,277 glasov. Za republikanskega predsedniškega kandidata Landona je bilo oddanih 15,839,609 gla-l sov. Za Lemkeja, predsedniškega kandidata Coughlinove stranke, je bilo oddanih 748,573 glasov. Socialistični predsedniški' kandidat Thomas je dobili | 99,865 glasov, komunistični kandidat Browder pa 57,243 J ; glasov, številke še niso končne j in se utegnejo še zvišati za ene-1 ga ali drugega kandidata, j Za Roosevelta je bilo oddanih nad 10, milijonov več gla-|sov, kot za njegovega najbližjega tekmeca. Republikanski predsedniški kandidat Landon je dobil veči-! no glasov samo v državah : Maine in Vermont. V vseh ostalih 46 državah je zmagal Roosevelt. I Formalno izvolijo predsednika elektorji, katerih ima vsaka država toliko, kolikor šteje njeno zastopstvo v obeh zbornicah kongresa. Država Nevada, na primer, ki ima samo enega kongresnika in dva senatorja, ima tri elektoralne glasove. Država New York, ki ima 45-kongresnikov in dva senatorja, d 'ima 47 elektoralnih glasov J t Vsak kandidat ima v vsaki dr- k ; žavi svoje kandidate za elek- k i torje ,in kdor dobi v državi največ glasov, tistega kandidata1« elektorj^ so izvoljeni. Za izvo-; * j litev je treba imeti večino elek-j J I tor jev iz vse republike, to je'v najmanj 266. Ako Hi nober.1 kandidat ne dobil večine elek- , toralnih glasov, bi izvolil pred-j 'sednika zvezni kongres izmed tistih kandidatov, ki so dobili [največ elektoralnih glasov. , J Vseh elektoralnih glasov jej j 531. Pri zadnjih volitvah je Roose-; II velt dobil 523 elektoralnih gla-j t|sov, Landon pa samo osem, to ^; je 5 elektoralnih glasov iz dr-Jžave Maine, 3 pa iz države „1 Vermont. i Zanimivo je, da je William 3, Lemke, predsedniški kandidat a “narodne unije za socialno pra-_ vičnost,” ki je prav za prav, - stranka pridigarja Coughlina,; prejel samo nekaj nad 700,000 glasov, dasi je ob priliki kon-i- vencije omenjene stranke njen ?, voditelj Coughlin izjavil, da jih :- bo dobil 9 milijonov, i- Popularnost predsednika v Roosevelta, ki se je pokazala v li izidu volitev, je pripomogla do i- zmage številnim demokvatskim (Dalje n« 2. strani) j VOLITVE ZA ZDRAVJE Piše DR. JOHN I,. RICE, I zdravstveni komisar mesta New York. ! Volilni dan navadno privabi na volišče vfelike množice ljudi. Vsak, l^i ima volilno pravico, bi ‘se moral na volilni dan udeležiti volitev, ker to zahteva državljanska dolžnost. Pri tem pa ne bi smeli pozabiti, da vsak, star ali mlad, bi moral voliti za svoj e zdravje, in to vsak dan v letu. Kajti, ako je vsak posameznik, .zdrav, je cela družba zdrava, in to pomenja boljše in sreč-jnejše državljanstvo. Koncem koncev pa je največ odvisno j od vsakega posameznika, da si ohrani zdravje. Kakor imajo politične stranke svoja načela, tako mora tudi posameznik upoštevati neka načela narave, če hoče ostati zdrav. Ako preveč , jemo, ako | premalo spimo, ako preveč napenjamo svoje moči, bomo za : take prestopke gotovo enkrat i plačali s svojim zdravjem. S [ponavljanjem takih prestop-j kov peša naša telesna odporna I [ sila in bolezen dobi prosti j Ivhod v naš sistem.; Celo av-l tomobilski motor prenese le gotovo količino napora in se pokvari, kadar se mu nalaga preveč. Za ohranitev dobrega zdravja ni treba nikakih posebnih jvaj in nikakih posebnih medicin. Zdrava pamet, združena |z dobro voljo, zadostuje. Pred j vsem je treba upoštevati, da so preproste, enostavni jedi najboljše za zdravje. Ponižna repa j je mnogo zdravejša od boga-; tih sladkarij. Podlaga zdrave prehrane je ravnotežje v dije-i ti. To pomeni, da se k mesu, krompirju, kruhu in kavi dodaja še kaka kuhana listnata zelenjava, kot zelje, špinača itd. Tudi čaša mleka pri vsaki jedi prispeva k vravnoteže-nju prehrane. Vsak odrasli človek naj spi vsaj osem ur j na dan, da dovoli telesu priliko Idovoljnega odpočitka. Nekaj prilično nagle hoje zjutraj in zvečer preskrbi telesu potrebno gibanje. Popolen počitek e-ne ure na dan je jako koristen. Sonca in svežega zraka si pri- 1 voščimo, kolikor nam prilike j dopuščajo. Priporočljivo jeh tudi imeti kak postranski po- j klic ali “hobby,” to je delo, i, ki nas veseli in zabava. ] Kdor se ravna po teh na- , svetih in gre od časa do časa ] k zdravniku, da ga pregleda, j j je lahko gotov, da vsak dan voli za pravo stranko zdravja, p H ----------- VELIKA FARMA Med naj večje farme v Zedi-njenih državah spada 47,000 j akrov obsegajoča tarma, katero obratuje Campbell-Farming Corporation v jufcni Montani. Svet pripada rezervaciji Crow Indijancev in ga je vlada dala v najem omenjeni korporaciji. Prideluje se samo pšenica in to z manjšimi stroški kakor kjerkoli drugje na svetu. Vse delo vršijo stroji, katere vodi in nadzoruje okrog 100 mož, ki so izučeni mehaniki.

V nekaj dneh bo spet odpotoval v New York, kjer se bo za stalno na-Iselil. Življenje, izkušnje in u-spehi slikarja Vanke doma in jv tujem svetu so prav značilni za jugoslovanske razmere. Talko kakor njemu, se je godilo 'tudi drugim našim umetnikom in znanstvenikom. Akademski slikar Maksimilijan Vanka je bil profesor na umetniški akademiji v Zagrebu in po 16 letih službe je dosegel deveti uradniški razred, j pri tem pa od leta do leta bolj | občutil krutosti usode talenta v ozkih razmerah. Ko se je pred dvema letoma z razstavo svojih del poslavljal iz Zagreba, je to domača javnost komaj beležila, čeprav mu je bila mnogo dolžna. Vanka je namreč hrvatsko folkloro dvigni! do višine slikarskega študija. Odšel je v Ameriko in v New Yorku v Maria Sterner i galeriji je razstavil iste slike, 'ki so bile na njegovi zadnji razstavi v Zagrebu. Že dej-jstvo, da je tako odlična galerija razstavila njegova dela, j je bilo zanj veliko priznanje. Jewell, največji umetniški kritik New Yorka in ameriške linije sploh, je njegova dela las-jkavo ocenil in poudarjal njegovo umetniško individualnost. Mnoge slike so bile prodane za visoke vsote. V dveh letih je Vanka mnogo potoval po Ameriki od Atlantika do Pacifika. Z ljubeznijo je študiral socialne razmere Amerike in kakor je Jack London v svojih povestih pokazal življenje družabnega dna Amerike, tako verno je Vanka to življenje ovekovečil v svojih slikah. Strašni kontrasti med razkošnimi nebotičniki in bednim svetom v temni senci tega razkošja, so našli v njem I vernega tolmača, ki ne slika s tendenco, marveč s srcem. Tudi naše, po Ameriki raztrese-1 ne naseljence je obiskal. Slikar Vanka je mnogo ob-i čeval s slovenskim rojakom, a-i meriškim pisateljem Adami- - čem. Sličnost usode in tudi • uspeha v tujini je oba združi-i la in zdaj se oba bavita z na-r črtom, da bi izdala spomenicc s naših ljudi v Ameriki. Literar > ni del bo napisal Adamič, sli i ke bo pa dal Vanka in bo t( >! gotovo prvi umetniški report < - tem, kako živi v tujini milijoi J J ugoslovanov. Svatje v potoku. Nedavno bi se bila morala vršiti v Laporju pri Slovenski Bistrici pomoka posestnika Ivana Rahne-1 ta s posestnikovo hčerko Marijo Rakovčevo iz Zgornjega Loga. Svatje so se peljali iz Sloven-j ske Bistrice z avtomobilom, proti Laporju. Ko je avtomobil pasiral mostiček preko potoka Lobnice v bližini Cigon-cev, mu je prišel nasproti neki avstrijski osebni avtomobil. Šofer Štefan Kmetic se je hotel izognit', zaradi mokre ceste pa je zavozil na rob, tako da se je avtomobil prekucnil in padel v 2 m globok potok. Šoferju se je posrečilo, da se je osvobodil iz neprijetnega položaja, nevesta in njena priča sodni uradnik Ignacij Tkavc j pa se nista mogla rešiti iz zaprtega avtomobila, ki je bil skoraj popolnoma pod vodo ' Šele pasanti, ki so prihiteli na (DftUe na a. itnuu) VSAK PO SVOJE Dolar je sicer zelo priljubljen gospod, toda še davno ni bog ali diktator v tej deželi, kakor se nam včasih skuša dopovedati. Stranka, ki je vrgla največ milijonov v zadnjo vo-I lilno kampanjo, je bila tepena ko snop. * Predsednik Roosevelt ima navado, da v začetku govora nagovori poslušalce z besedama: My friends — moji prijatelji! Izid zadnjih volitev pa le pokazal, da se mož glede prijateljstva pri veliki večini ni motil. * Poraženi predsedniški kandidat Landon je bil med prvimi, ki so Rooseveltu čestitali k zmagi in ponovni izvolitvi. To je lepo, gentlen\ansko in ameriško. V starem svetu so druge manire. Haile Selassie ni čestital Mussoliniju, in, kdor bo premagan v Španiji, prav gotovo ne bo čestital zmagovalcu. * Slamnato glasovanje, katerega je vodila neka razširjena ameriška revija, se je izkazalo tako zanesljivo, kot da bi bili glasovali slamnati možički po koruznih poljih. * Znana pevka Mary Garden priporoča pevcem, da naj ne pijejo opojnih pijač. Dobro b.i bilo, da bi zdaj kdo priporočil še pivcem, da naj ne pojejo. # Governer Landon je bil prav grdo tepen za napako, ki jo je storil s tem, da je kandidiral za predsednika Zedinjenih držav. Kazen je bila skoro prehuda, toda bila je učinkovita. Mož se bo poboljšal in prav gotovo ne bo nikoli več silil v predsedniški zelnik. * | Pravijo, da se z denarjem obloženemu oslu odpro vsaka vrata, toda letos je pihala taka sapa, da se mu niso odprla vrata volilnih lokalov. Revež je moral ostati na dežju pod ka-1 pom in še brez marele. * Mussolini, ki zadnje čase |spet izziva Anglijo, najbrž pozablja, da angleški lev ni iz istega gnezda kot je bil etiopski. * Tisti, ki so računali in prerokovali, da bo Coughlinov predsedniški kandidat Lemke dobil ; na volilni dan deset milijonov glasov, so se ušteli skoro za deset milijonov. Fantje naj gredo v šolo in se primejo računstva. ’ * Sončna roža, simbol Kan-.sasa, katero so republikanski vrtnarji skušali vdomačiti v Washingtonu, se ni prijela. Simbol Amerike ostane torej še 1 zanaprej žarnordeča vrtnica American Beauty. * Neki raziskovalec je v Afriki vjel ptiča, ki muka, kakor kra-. va. To pa končno ni taka reč. [ V tej deželi je polno ptičev, ki t: pijejo kakor krave. ★ * Američani so tako zakrknje-. ni ljudje, da se jih ne primejo e niti najbolj ganljive pridige. - Mesece in mesece je pridigar a j Coughlin pridigal, da je Rooae-c j velt komunist, brezbožnik, iz-,-| dajalec, prevarant, tskeb in laž-.ll nik, pa je bilo vse bob v steno. ).

V SILNEM VIHARJU na Atlantiku se je v noči 8. novembra potopila nemška motorna ladja Isis, ki je bila na poti iz Hamburga v Philadel-phijo in dalje do Mehiškega zaliva. Ladja se je potopila kakšnih 200 milj zapadno od j Land’s End, Anglija. Kolikor je doslej znano, je utonila vsa posadka 40 mož, z edino izjemo 17-letnega kabinskega sluge Fritza Roethkeja, ki ga je rešil parnik Westernland. IZ RUSIJE, ki ima že sedaj precej močno vojno mornarico, se poroča, da vlada namerava zgraditi toliko novih vojnih ladij, da bo mornarica v pravem razmerju z vojaško silo na suhem. Ker ima Rusija največjo stalno armado in največjo zračno vojaško floto, pomeni poročilo, da hoče imeti tudi naj večjo vojno mornarico. VELIKA BRITANIJA bo še nadalje ostala zvesta Ligi narodov in bo skušala njeno avtoriteto povečati. Tako se je izrazil vnanji minister Anthony Eden v parlamentu. Njegova izjava kaže, da se Anglija ne misli odpovedati prijateljstvu z Rusijo, da bi tako zadovoljila Nemčijo in Italijo. ŠPANSKA civilna vojna je dosedaj že zahtevala okrog 200,000 človeških življenj in je stala že nad $2,500,000,000. Sedaj se vršijo krvavi boji za posest glavnega mesta Madrida. Nekatera poročila pravijo, da so rebeli že zavzeli gotove dele Madrida, dočim se od druge strani zatrjuje, da so še vedno izven mesta. Španska ustavna vlada se je preselila iz Madrida v mesto Valencia. E N G L SECTION Of H O j t ‘ CI a I O rgAn o/ the South Slavonic Catholic Union. AMPLIFYING THE VOICE OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING MEMBERS Into the Sports World With Little Stan [Ely, Minn.—King football P forgotten last week, as pions of American citizens | rt their eyes on a national I ration. But, as soon as results I Fere definitely known, the I f'vntown politicians rehashed fe entire election, then ad- I f^ned to reconvene into the ! pular order of downtown [ r&ches and critics. II Here in Ely, your Little Stanja had dark circles under his iles the latter part of the feek. This was attributed to Ifss of .sleep—covering election Frturns in Ely and six other frailer townships and villages fr*thin a 25-mile radius. On top rthat, the issue of the weekly lapping Guide increased by ffVeii pages, and the partner pnted to leave for the Minne-[°ta-Iowa homecoming game f11 Thursday afternoon, the fay of the paper’s coming out. Pat means very little of the f°°d old shut-eye, and when rerything was finished, the pftner left for Minneapolis on ^yrhedule. The paper, 15 pages came out on schedule, pd Little Stanley had covered r*e election returns* And now, after an absence F a week, Little Stan is again lining out his column for the y°va Doba. It was a week ago, M Friday, when Little Stan retired he should get his col-out. It was a beauty of a By. No snow, bright, warm e l^otest coming from the follow-of Pitt’s famed Panthers, laving in mind especially'the rogars and Martin Regina, n!vh° is at present attending the 1 r of Pitt. I Little Stan’s primary reason 1 | °r naming his home state the ’r°tential national champions > Tweaks for itself. The one de-e&t handed tfie Golden Goph-by Northwestern last week ^eoretically dumped Minne-s°ta from the nation’s No. 1 v*ss. But their play on Dyche ield showed that they out-C'assed the Wildcats in yard-gained two to one, and had L e field conditions been more 4vorable, it would be safe to that the Wildcats would l*ve been overwhelmed by at e9.st three touchdown's. Minnesota fans willingly ad-p*t that the defeat handed the °Phers by Northwestern was c°rning. Not because North-.Nstern was a better team, bilt ' ecause it took the strain off .^yers, coaches, and also the ans,! Proved it was that you beat the law of averages! . However, the football season rapidly nearing a close. °°n the word battle between ^tional observers and the ^vntown coaches associations 011 a national champion will ^ach a high pitch. But at preset Little Stan will stick to ifinesota. If they lose two of I the final games remaining on the schedule, he will gladly change his mind!

Minnesota SSCU Basketball High schools and colleges in the northern part of Minnesota will soon press fast, shifty quints onto the basketball courts. Independent teams will vie for city titular honors. Here with the ground covered with a white blanket of snow, four SSCU teams are preparing to swing into action. They are: Hawkeyes, Lodge No. 200; Rangers, No. 1; Arrowheads, No. 184, and Gophers, Lodge No. 2. Already, and as it should be, preparations are being made for a schedule and tournament next year. The tourney this year was set for Gilbert. The arrangement was made last year. Little Stan was placed in charge of Ely arrangements, and he sent out personal letters to lodges in Tower-Soudan, Eveleth, Gilbert, Aurora and Chisholm, inviting athletic advisers to meet in Ely to discuss and arrange the season and tourney. Supreme Secretary Anton Zbašnik would be on hand to explain the financial end of the annual event. So far none of the Range cities have answered. One thing that must be remembered—if no action concerning a tournament is taken within the next month or so, there will not be any tournament this year! Last year tourney arrangements were made on a short notice. We want to be ready this year, and if ncne of the teams favor a tournament, all arrangements will be called off. So, you fellows on the Range, piease answer the letters, and by all means let us know whether or not you will be represented this year, and whether or not you want another tournament. DON'T FORGET! • Whether or not there is a tournament this year, the four Ely teams will play in the local city league; perhaps even arranging an interlodge series. All teams needing financial assistance must apply before the supreme board meets next January. That also includes Range SSCU teams! With the winter season comes the social period, when lodges conduct dances, parties, and everything else to raise funds, encourage fraternalism, and primarily to have a good time. You know, whenever a lodge insures a good time to its members and friends, they naturally boost the sponsor. You don’t have to urge them to join then. They just do! Members have a place to go, where they can enjoy themselves, and otherwise while away their spare moments. That alone is an inducement to join, although the major benefits are derived from the insurance and sick benefit departments. So, lodges, let us get going into the winter season with a bang! Some of Little Stan’s spare moments were spent at Mikey Bachar’s. Mike has a bowling alley . . . just one, though, and the boys bowl like nobody’s business. Little Stan is nearing the 200 average class and feels G. W.-Bukovnik Studios Drop Opener, 13 to 11 Cleveland, O.—In its first game of the season the George Washington Lodge, No. 180, SSCU, basketball team dropped the Interlodge League opener to the Spartans, SSPZ, by a close score of 13 to 11. At the end of the first quarter the G. W.’s trailed by a score of 5 to 1 ; at the half they trailed 9 to 6, and when the third quarter ended found the Cherry Tree Choppers but one point behind, 9 to 8. In the last quarter the G. W.’s were leading 11 to 10, but could not hang on to this slim margin. Frankie Cimperman dropped in two field goals to lead the scoring for his colleagues. This team, which has Bukovnik Studios for its co-backers, promises to give other teams in the circuit plenty of competition. On the whole, the contest was slow in comparison to what the games shall be in two or three weeks. The factors to consider are a long layoff from the gymnasium, only a few practice sessions and the physical condition of the players. It takes a little time and much effort to get into the swing of the game, especially basketball, which requires a great deal of physical exertion.

Gus Korach, a Slovene, was credited by The Cleveland Press as the person who started the ball rolling in exposing the recent cemetery racket and its ramifying uncovering of graft accepted by certain Cleveland police high in rank. In its edition of November 4, The Press carried a feature story in the second section about Gus Korach; how he happened to come to its office and how an investigation followed the cemetery racket where people who had funds in neighborhood building and loan companies were duped into buying cemetery lots in exchange for their pass books. Included in the five-column story was a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Korach and their family.

In 1937 it shall hold the second national juvenile convention. In Soviet Russia, where women often take on the work of men, there are well over 1,000 female parachute jumpers who are willing to die for their country. Called the “Suicide Legion,” this group is made up principally of daring and attractive girls whose ages range from 19 to 23 years. They are expert [ rifle shots and are well trained I in chemical warfare. Although j the big Red Army has a great j number of male parachute j jumpers, the feminine unit has become a volunteer reserve force in Moscow’s defense* program against enemies of Russia. All recent efforts to learn the exact number of “Suicide Legion” members have failed. The latest and most conservative guess places the figures over 1,000. This is based on the known membership of chapters belonging to the organization. One such chapter, the Leningrad Aviation Club, trains about 300 girls each year. During their training, held at government expense, girl student jumpers are paid sometimes as much as about $70 a month. When a girl volunteers, her training begins with a solo jump from a height of 600 meters. Later she learns to leap from an airplane into water. After this, lessons include jumps with rifles, gas masks and skis. Occasionally there have been tragedies, as in the case of two popular girls who rook their last jump in a friendly contest to see which one could achieve the longest delay in pulling her parachute rip cord. Both delayed too long and both fell to their deaths. Such tragedies, however, have not discouraged other members of the legion. The girls, train with enthusiasm, all realizing that seme day they may be called upon to jump behind enemy lines and wage war on the ground. Typically enthusiastic are Anna Shisma-reva and Galina Piatetskaya, two outstanding members. To them parachute jumping is “as simple as taking a walk” and it probably is because they are joint holders of the world jumping record among women. They have leaped from a point as high as 7,923 meters, without cxygen equipment. Miss Shismareva and Miss Lodge No. 129 Ely, Minn.—Lodge "Severna zvezda,” No. 129, SSCU, will hold a dance Saturday evening, Nov. 14, at the Yugoslav National Home.

Devil’s Island End France informed the world that her 84-year-old “Alcatraz,” the famous penal settlements at Devil’s Island and nearby Cayenne, French Guiana, are soon to be abandoned— by decree of the French Parliament. All of the condemned are to be repatriated to prisons on French soil. Provision has already been made that no more shipments of human cargo will go to South America, and the December voyage of the prison ship La Martiniere has been canceled. Thus will be removed what Frenchmen deem to be “an abscess on the body colonial,” and an institution which has unjustly given their prison system a bad name the world over. Devil's Island, which has erroneously given both places that popular but disreputable name, is actually the least important of the two institutions, since it harbors only five prisoners, who are free to roam at will. At Cayenne, on the South American coast, however, 4,000 cojivicts are kept in the closer confinement of antiquated huts and cell-blocks. Piatetskaya, like a number of their sky-minded sisters, proudly wear the Order of the Red Star. This is a decoration that permits the holder once a year to travel anywhere in Russia without charge. Its privileges, which can be passed on to husband, wife or child, also include a monthly cash award, free street car transportation, exemption from all taxes, and special reductions in rents that are sometimes as much as 50 per cent. Girls belonging to the “Suicide Legion” have been reported as being especially interested in politics, world affairs and America. Most of them doubt that American women have as many liberties as Russian women.—Pathfinder. Enroll Your Prospect Facts speak for themselves.

And to win a place on an “eleven” there meant that the lucky boy—be he ten or fourteen years of age or even older—had earned it. The professor in charge of athletics played no favorites; literally, he made each btiy “stand upon his own feet.” Though Dick Todd had been in the school but a few weeks he was already casting longing eyes toward a place on the “eleven.” He was on the field every afternoon for practice; but even he had to admit that he didn’t seem to be making much progress. Now, to understand the situation, one should go back a little with Dick before he entered Odenton. He had lived in the country, on a farm, and had found but scant opportunity to play football because there were but few boys in his neighborhood and most of them had no time for the game. A regular scrimmage with eleven men on each side was impossible; so Dick was compelled to confine his football activities to kicking the ball. He had rigged up an impromptu goal-post Then, at the beginning of the second half, Beltsvilie had scored a touchdown by steady line plunges, a long end-run and a cleverly and luckily executed forward pass. And—worse and more of it—the Beltsville kicker had kicked goal, making the score Beltsville 7, Odenton 6. And that seemed to be the final score, with three minutes to play, and the ball in Odenton’s possession on Belts-ville’s twenty-yard line! All during the game Dick had sat on the sideline with the other substitutes, wrapped in his blanket and half-hop-ing, half-fearing that he would get into the game. “Todd! Todd!” It was Professor Miles calling his name. “Yes, sir,” answered Dick, jumping to his feet and throwing off his blanket. “You go in there, my boy,” said the Professor in a quiet, yet tense voice, “and put that ball over the bar. It means victory if you do. Now—do it!” Dick, a trifle dazed by the rapidity with which he had been summoned, ™r Qxvr MR. BAT’S SPEECH » I He Kept On Practicing P lace‘Kicks Over the Goal down at one end of the back pasture, and there, on afternoons, he and one, or at most two, of his playmates would take turns trying to kick the. ball over the goal—drop-kicks and goals from placement. Therefore, when Dick came out for the team at Odenton and was introduced to all the mysteries of tackling, of running-back punts, of lining up for scrimmage, etc., he was indeed a stranger in a strange land. He didn’t like it, either; the impact of his charging fellows, the rough battle of the line of scrimmage, the thud and jostling when he was tackled and thrown to earth were distasteful to him. Not that Dick w'as a coward—ifor he was not—but, you know, there are certain boys who really love just that roughness and others who can’t become indifferent to it under any conditions. Dick vastly preferred to kick. And, every afternoon, he could be found trying to kick goal from the field both before and after the regular practice. Once or twice he was put in at end, but proved so hopeless at breaking interference and tackling the runner that it was plainly evident he wouldn't do. So, chiefly for exercise, he kept on practicing place-kicks over the goal. And though he did not know it, Professor Miles watched him now and then with speculative eye, for Dick certainly could send the old pigskin sailing over the bar. One day when the regulars and “subs” were scrimmaging down at one end of the field and Dick was at the other goal-pošt trying place-kicks, he was surprised to hear his name called by many voices. “Dick, I want to see what you can do in the way of goals,” said Professor Miles. “Get in here behind the scrub line and we’ll see if you can kick any. Dick did, too. Not one, but a dozen. Indeed, despite the attempts of the first team to break through the weaker ecrub-line and block the kick, Disk missed only three out of sixteen attempts—which was truly remarkable. Then, the scrub quarterback dropped back and, stretched out on the ground, held the ball for Dick to try goals from placement. And, over and over again, Dick sent the ball squarely between the uprights, from various distances and from difficult angles. * * # With but two minutes left to play and the score Orenton 6, Beltsville 7, defeat seemed certain—and to have Beltsville, Odenton’s greatest rival, triumph was a bitter pill to swallow. The game 'nad been a bitterly contested one. Odenton, getting the jump on her rivals, had scored a touchdown early in the first quarter, but had failed to kick goal, thus leaving the pcore 6 when it should have been 7. trotted out onto the field, reported to the official and took the place of Carp, the halfback for whom lie had been substituted. “6-3-23-36!” cried the Odenton quarterback—the team opened out in kick formation, with the quarterback in place to receive the ball, slap it to the ground and hold it until Dick’s toe should send it hurtling toward the goal-post of the enemy. It was a last, desperate attempt to score, when carrying the ball had proved futile or, at least, foolish in view of the scant time remaining for play. The signal was given. The Odenton center passed the ball back to his quarterback—a trifle high and a little to the right. But Dandy, the quarterback, caught it, up-ended it and slapped it to the ground. A second later, Dick’s lustily swung foot caught the ball and sent it hurtling over the line of scrimmage—straight and true for the goal-post. From the stands it looked as though the direc tion was all right, but would the ball sail 'nigh enough to clear the crossbar? It did—by just a few inches! And that meant three more points for Odenton, making the score Beltsville 7, Odenton 9. Now, all Odenton had to do was to hold Beltsville for little over two minutes more. Could they do it? Dick was placed at right-half and the end was instructed to take just as much of the work off him as possible.

It carried, too, for forty yards before the runner was downed. Then began a series of plays upon Dick. The Beltsville quarterback seemed to sense the fact that Dick was a woefully weak defensive player. Three times they plunged through him for big gains. Another lightning forward pass and the ball reposed on Odenton’s ten-yard yline. Professor Miles was actually calling Dick out— though the substitute he had ready was scarcely any better—when Beltsville launched another play at Dick. Then, something strange—strange at least to Dick—happened; he felt something well up inside of him that made him forget everything—everything except that play must be stopped! No matter what happened, no matter if they tore him limb from limb, that play had to be stopped! All fear of being hurt, all distaste for the impact of . rushing, pounding bodies against his own had fled. He must—stop—that— ' play! And he did! He pulled the runner down in his tracks!

They picked Dick up, unconscious, and bore him to the sidelines. A few ] skilful ministrations from the doctor and he came to. He had been knocked out; but, also, something had been knocked into him—the love of the game, the love of the fierce scrimmage, the love of the fight! , Thus began the making of the greatest quarterback that Odenton ever had. ' Not all at once, of course, but gradually; and toward the end of the season, Dick was the most reckless player on the team and, of course, far and away its best kicker. Manica: KUHANA IN PEČENA Out in the autumn woods a dark brown object clung to an old brier and swayed gently with each gust of wind. Baltimore Oriole and his wife, Lady Oriole, spied it. “A dead leaf,” guessed Baltimore. “A cocoon,” said Lady Oriole, who hopped carefully around the queer object. As they peered at the dark brown thing they heard a squ^ky voice. “I am Mr. Bat. Perhaps you never heard of me.” “No, indeed!” said Lady'Oriole. “Tell us all about yourself,” Mr. Oriole said as he moved nearer to Mr. Bat. “I have a slight cold, and my voice is not very strong,” he answered, “but since you nave never heard of me nor seen me before I will try. “If you will look carefully, you will see that I am hanging to the brier by Ko se je ribniški Jurek nekoč mudil na potovanju, je naletel nekje na moža, ki je prodajal ribe. To je bilo za Ju-reka nekaj čisto novega, kajti rib ni videl še nikoli. Cvenka mu ni ravno manjkalo in ker so mu bile ribice všeč, je eno kupil in vprašal, če so te živalce užitne. “Pa še kako so okusne,” je hvalil prodajalec. “Lahko jih ocvreš, skuhaš, spečeš, kakor želiš!” “Hm, hm,” zacmoka poželjivo Jurek. “Ali so kmalu gotove za želodček?” “Zelo hitro. Skoro bi rekel, komaj da dobro vidijo ogenj, pa jih že lahko pohrustaš.” S tem je možak seveda hotel povda-riti, da je riba, pa naj si jo pripravimo na katerikoli kuharski način, kaj hitro gotova za na krožnik. Jurek ga je pa, kajpak, razumel čisto pa svoje. Ves vesel in dobre volje gre z ribico dalje. V tem se zmrači. Jurek prikoraka mimo nekega tolmuna prav tedaj, ko vzide izza hriba polna luna. Brž potegne ribico iz torbe in kazaje na luno, ji prijazno govori: “Živalica, ali vidiš ogenj ? Le poglej ogenj le! — No, zdaj upam, da si že pečena!” Pri tem mu prsti nekoliko popustijo, spolzka ribica porabi ugodni trenutek in—čof v tolmun. “Grda spaka,” zakriči v sveti jezi Jurek, “saj sem te vendar spekel, ti se pa menda hočeš še skuhati—naka! Tako se pa ne gremo!” Urno skoči v tolmun in hlasta z rokami po blatni vodi. Po naključju zgrabi neko žabo in jo tako stisne, da reva obupno zakvaka. Jurek pa misleč, da ima ribo v roki, se glasno začudi: “Prešmentana žival! Saj si vendar kuhana in pečena in še te ni konec!” To rekši, pomaši žabo v usta in pohrusta. --------O--------- NOVEMBER Fr. Milčinski: NAŠI IN VOJNA Ona je zvrhano poltretje leto stara, on debelo poldrugo. Ona je očitno ženske sorte: zgovorna in zvedava, poleg pa mila, da se samega dobrikanja in srčkanja redi, in plaha, da se boji celo naslikanega volka in prej vpraša, ali grize, potem ga šele pogleda od blizu. In modra je. Utihne in se zamisli, zamisli tako globoko, da niti tortice ne bi videla, če bi jo kdo prednjo postavil. Potem pa pride na dan z vprašanjem, ki priča, kje daleč ji že stikajo misli: “Atek, atek, atek! Ko si bil še v po-vojcu, ali so te takrat tudi že klicali ‘atek’?” in “Atek, kje si bil pa prej, predno si prišel k nam?” —r- ali pa: “Atek, atek! Ali žlica tudi umrčka?” — Najrajša pa izprašuje po vzrokih. Ves ljubi dan goni svoj “Zakaj?” in “Zakaj?” in ni igrača ji dajati odgovorov. Vpraša te: “Zakaj se reče konju konj? Povej atek!” Zakaj? Pa ji odgovori! Celo v naučni slovnik lahko prej pogledaš, pa ne boš vedel. Le kar sedi—trojka! Odgovorim pa jaz, ki sem bolj vajen: “Konju se zato pravi konj, ker nima rogov. Če bi imel roge, bi se mu ne reklo konj, ampak koza. Tako je!” S tem odgovorom je dekelce zadovoljno, dokaz, da ji je stvar zdaj jasna. Toda ima že novo vprašanje: “Zakaj nima konj rogov? Povej, atek!” Kdor ni vajen, bi omagal pri takem izpitu. Jaz sem vajen, jaz vem vse, kar je in kar ni, meni ni težak odgovor: “Konj nima rogov, ker jih ne more imeti. Kaj pa misliš! Če bi konj imel roge, ne bi bil konj, ampak koza.” Na to moje dekelce globoko vzdihne in to pomeni, da jo je odgovor docela zadovoljil in je zdaj rešena iz težkih dvomov. Drugače je zdrava. Najljubša jed so ji štruklji, teh se naje, da se ji ustavijo. Najljubša igrača pa ji je Milka, punčka dolga dve pedi. O božiču je bila stara eno leto, pa je še vedno cela, kar je najboljši dokaz, kako ljubeznivo ž njo ravna njena mamica. Moje dekelce se ji namreč šteje za mamico; ima pa poleg Milke še več druge dece: Špelico, ki je stara že čez dve leti in je zelo trpežen otrok, narejen od glave do nog iz klobučevine; potem zamorca, ki je revček brez rok, premalo je nanje pazil in jih zasejal, kaj vemo,, kdaj in kje; in na belega medvedka ne smemo pozabiti, v trebuhu ima muziko. Tudi o tem medvedku pravi moje dekelce, da mu je mamica. To je ona. On pa je njen debelo poldrugo leto stari bratec. Tako je dolg kakor širok. Komaj leto dni stat je že jedel fižol in salato, nemara se je baš ob tej piči tako zredil. Dobiva koščnike, zato je po enem licu vedno rdeč in cedi siine, cedi jih toliko, da mu nameravamo speljati pod brado žleb, da bi se mu odtekale brez škode za njegovo fasado.

Škat- lja je “tata,” krompir je “pompej.” Ljubi krepko govorico; svojemu začudenju daje duška z vzklikom “Tiš bo-ži!” kar pomeni “Križ božji!” Kuharici pa, ki ima pri, njej zavetje in potuho ponoči in podnevu, njej privofči prijazni ogovor: “’uba duša,” to je “ljuba duša!” Niso mu priučene te in enake besede; naleze se jih in ne vemo, kje in kdaj; so mu pač posebno všeč. Zakaj ? Zakaj pa je njegova največja radost plezanje, radost in hkratu vir neprestanih opominov v besedi in dejanjih ? Ona, njegova sestrica, ni nikdar pleza-rila. On pa pleza; je pač fant! In kamne sila rad luča v vodo; ona jih ni. In za vlake se ona še pol toliko ni zanimala, kakor se zanima on. Teka po sobi, dela “š-š-š” in je vlak in moramo v kraj bežati, da nas ne povozi. On osebno je vlak! Tabo je bilo odkraja. Pa mu ni miroval duh, mislil je in računal, iskal je in je našel in na nečuven način zboljšal železniški promet: obrnil je pručico, sopihajoč jo drsal pred sabo, glej—vlak, do lasu podoben onemu v resnici! Pa še ni odnehal, dokler da se mu slednjič I Ain Always Clinging or Flying my feet. I am always clinging or flying, but I do not fly until evening comes. Then I work all night. “Perhaps you wonder what I do at night as I fly. Well, that is my eating time. Perhaps you wonder what I feed upon. Well, I like moths and bugs and beetles and gnats. “I have many brothers and sisters. We live in barns and caves. We bring health to men and women and boys and girls. I know you wonder how. Let me tell you a story. “A few years ago many of my brothers and sisters lived happily on a big farm. They caught and ate all the mosquitoes they could find. One day a new family moved onto the farm. Then something happened to my brothers and sisters. “The farmer did not like the looks of them. He caused his children to hate them. He began to kill them. Once he told his wife, ‘I have killed more than two washtubs of the pesky November frost is in the air The harvest hay is mown; And in the fields ray ripened grain Where seeds last spring werei sown. The leaves have turned to brown and gold And many trees are bare; The birds have flown to warmer climes Where sunshine floods the air. And all without is bleak and drear, The grass is seared and brown; And all the ground is littered with Dead leaves that have blown dow'n. But in the home the fires glow And near its cheerful blaze The children plan for winter’s sports, And dream of summer’s plays. o----------------- NAPOLEON ANECDOTE The story is told that after one of his greatest battles Emperor Napoelon gathered the remnant of his forces around him and proceeded to compliment them in his characteristic manner, so endearing to the hearts of his soldiers. Finally Company D, of the guards, who had been in the thick of the fight were ordered to present themselves, and to the astonishment of the emperor a single soldier appeared. He was bound up in bandages and could barely walk. “Where is the rest of your company?” asked the emperor. A tear welled in the old soldier's eye as he answered: “Your Majesty, they lie on the field dead,” and then w'oe-fully added, “they fought better than I.” Bat Spread Out His Wings and Quietly Slipped Away critters.’ “When my brothers and sisters were dead, neither the farmer nor his wife nor his children could sleep at night because the mosquitoes would not leave them alone. Then fever came and the ! children almost died. “But a wise man saw and understood. He said: ‘The bites of the mosquitoes brought the germs of the fever. When the bats were here, they ate the mosquitoes and kept them from bringing the fever germs. You can’t bring i those bats back, but you can get some ! more.’ j “Now, if you should visit that farm, ; you would find hundreds of my broth-i ers and sisters there catching mos-| quitoes every night and so saving boys and girls and men and women from the awful fever. “We are a queer-looking set. If you will come near, you will see that my wings fold up like an umbrella. They are bare and do not have feathers such as yours do. Although I fly and have wings, I am a mammal like dogs and horses. “My head and ears are like those of a mouse. My body has the shape of a mole. My mouth is very large and I have sharp teeth. I always hunt at night, but my eyes are poor and I cannot sec well. I know you wonder how I can catch insects without seeing them. I will tell you. “When a moth comes near me, he beats the air so lively with his wings that my ears know just where he is. My hearing is so good that I rarely miss getting what I go after. It would not be untrue to say that I see with my ears. “We eat a large number of insects that harm crops and orchards. All farmers should be our friends. I know we are very queer, but we always try to do our duty. It is growing darker now and I must leave you. Goodby! Good-by!” And Mr. Bat spread out his wings and quietly slipped away while Baltimore and Lady Oriole gasped with surprise.
