Nationality Gardens may not seem much to the ordinary per- son and perhaps the term “Na- tionality Garden” does not send the blood coursing through the veins much faster and harder than it did before. To others that term is a symbol of the grandest idea that anyone could have concieved. And they are taking it j ust as seriously. Some nationalities have gone in¬ to active campaign t ; 'o raise rnoney to be abile to apply it on the fixing up of the strip of land that was so generously offered to the various national¬ ities. The Jews of Cleveland have their garden started and tihey have had the initial ex- perience of the shoals that await ahead and they are passing their experierice to others. To make things easier the Civic Progress League in con- junction with the city of Cleve¬ land have planned an Interna¬ tional Costume Bali the proceeds of which will be divided among the nationalities to apply on the Nationalities Gardens. The plan is very simple and very attrac- tive. The money will be divided according to the number oi tickets sold by each nationality. It is very important that ali those Slovenes who will attend the Bali to buy their tickets from Slovenes who have the tickets so that ever.y ticket will have a percentage return. Besides the idea af a Nation- ality Garden there will be many things that will be attactive and an added reason to attend the Bali. The costumes themselves will be j udged and six prizes wil! be awarded three to the best feminine costumes and three for the best masculine costumes The prizes for the ladies are; an evening wrap, lst prize; an aft- ernoon dress, second prize; and a šport ensemble as third prize. Fot the men there is a Dress suit as lst prize; a Business suit for second prize and an over- zoat as third prize. To cap it ali 3very ticket will entitle holders to a chance on winning a Duran! Sedan. With ali these attraetions the International Costume Bali is to be one of the greatest events that have ever taken plače in Cleveland under the auspices of the Nationalities of the city of Cleveland. There will be color and color galore on that when the cos- tumed participants gather for the bali on Wednesday May 21, Each to show the costumes of the various nationalities who are vitally interested in the Garden idea.

His cheery greeting and the narration of something humorous incident accompanied with a bass laugh, that was not course have become a part of our daily life. It became a thing, that had to be, to make the day complete. We were afraid that something happened to him and that possibly ;he was not feeling well. And then again we thought that since he vas so intimately connected with the doings of the Slovenes that jthe work forced Ihim to be on the jolb much earlier than usual and we felt that he should not be busy beeause we had a good story to and everything else that goes into the stage game. He may seem so much superior to the ordinary folk that he seems some thing aloof and something stage are human and they feel as other people do and and they are j ust as natural as any other person. If anything they are are somewlha\t backward and the blush when they are praised. That at any rate is the way the passion players feel about their recent success in presenting the Passion Play to Slovene audi- ence in Slovene for the first time to audiences in America. Bujt 'thiey do not want the people to feel that they are su- tell him in exchange for the perior beings and they want to prove that they are j ust as hu¬ man as they appear on the stage irrespective of the parts they have played. So to become ac- quainted if that is necessarj r and to give people an idea that they can be joyful and full of fun tliey are staging an old fash¬ ioned goo dtime and dance which will take .plače next Saturday evening at Knausks Hall with real refreshments and a real good entertainment. The Pass¬ ion Players of course, will be there in full numbers and they vili be ready to get acquainted with anyone who so desires. It is only natural that after almost 5 month’s of hard work drill to make the Passion Play what it really turned out to be, and constant rehearsing and the Passion players would want to have a little fun and this is the way they will do it. They however, do not want to run the party themselves and be ex- elusive but they want to have the general public join in on the fun. Next Saturday at Tnaus’ Hall will be the celebra- tion. You can get the tickets at Grdina’s Book store or from the members.

But ali of our worries about his health or ° occupation were turned in¬ to joy mixed with a mixture of envy and a secret hope that we too could go vhere he was go¬ ing, for we found out that he left ;'or New York last night to embark to Jugoslavia or Sloven- ia as the old timers know it. To thern the old country is not so much. Jugoslavia as it is their home—-the plače vthere they vere born, where they worked and studied and the plače from whieh they came to find a better means of livelihood than it af- forded- No matter how far one goes from the plače of birth there is always that hope and that anx- iety to see the “llbuse where I was born” so also lit is with Primož Kogoj who left his wide circle of friends and acqiuain- ^ances to revisit the plače of his birth and the scenes of his boy- hood days. It is only natural that one who is so intimately connected with the work of the Slovenes as Mr. Kogoj is that there should be a desire to see the country where the Slovenes came from and from which he emigrated 27 years ago. Mr. Primož Kogoj is one of the most widely known men UNITED LODGES TO HOLD JOINT PICNIC Lodge. Sts. Cyril and Meth- odius No. 18 S- D. Z. will hold its Flag blessing next Sunday at St. Vitus Church.

Z. will have their picnic on the grounds Slovene School will not be officially over until some time in June but tonighfs play and dance are looked on as a fitting representation of what has been accomplished by the study of Slovene during the year. Study- in the plays not as course of dramaties then as an actual pre- sentation is one way of learning the language. The stage is so peculiarly adapted to the study of any language that it becomes one of the prime means of show- ing what the language itself really it. If the language is a living language „and one that is used in eommunication with one another then it is good it must shov gramatical forms, it must be enuntiated so that it is un- derstood and the meaning of \vords must be so well known that ali the meaning is gotten out of the lines as they were vritten by the dramatist. Truly, a play, be it a comedy or other- vise, provides an opportunity of showing vhat the language real- ly learned anything about it- That is the špirit that the Slo- vne school, senior division, ihas vvhen it will come before the public tonight with its’ one-act comedy ‘‘Stara mesto mlade”. Ali the rules of pronunciation of forming sentences and of the correct use of words are very aptly expressed in the lines of a play so that it is evident that the “play is the thing.” No language is of any value to any- one if it cannct convey ideas so it is also vith the Slovene, es- pecially when it is used as the masters of the language used it. The members of the Slovene school, senior division, are use- ing this means of showing that there is something to the Slo¬ vene school and that they who attend really get something for the time expended. T^here is also another reason why they are anxious that the play succeed and that is 1hey want as many of their friends to be glad and to come and make merry in the only public perfq(rmance and public affair of the entire school year. Of course, they had their parties at which the public was invited but those who came felt that they were specially invited among Cleveland Slovenes to- 0 f the Slovene Society Home on and those who did not come felt Recher Avenue next Sunday May that since they were not invited day.

Though the Cleveland Journal cannot promise to perform impossible feats of journalism or that they can cover everything possible that goes on, the editors do not feel that they have the quality of bilocation and they are not omniscent or omnipresent they have only two eyes apiece and they can be only in one plače at one time. It makes no difference how willlng they are , they are handicapped by being human and having human pos- sibilities. If only a kind word would be exchanged in Javor of the Journal, we feel that others would realize that we are trying to do our best to make the Journal as interest - ing as possible and packed as full of news as we are able to’ “scare up” in the course of the week but we feel that With the removal of the Cleveland Journal to the new and larger quarters at 6231 St. Clair Ave. the Cie veland Journal is anxious to increase in usefulness and increase in size and to be a real help to the American Slovenes of Cleveland and ali the communities where ever there is found anyone who is proud enough to call himself a Slovene. It is impossible for the Journal of it- self to expand and to do things for people unless they are interested in their own work so. that they will give the Cleveland Journal a chance to be the paper it was originally intended to be. The founders of the paper and the people who have nursed it through its times of difficulties and times when the whole world looks black and stormy are satisfied to know that the Cleveland Journal has contributed its own little share in making the American Slovenes just a little more conscious of their natura! birthright. But it is only natural for the Journal that it should wish to serve more people so that it could be just a little more useful and could do for others what it does for its regular reaclers. And the plan would not be too difficult especially if the present readers vvould say a kind word to their friends about the Journal and what it does. there are many things going on that would be interesting to everybody. if someone would kindly give the Journal editors a buzz and give them some information. There is no need of being afraid to teli us what you are doing. That’s what we are here for and that is what we want to do. If you can’t do that' write us and we will do things do the best of which we are capable. Ex Libris Conducted by the St. Clair Branch Public Library.

What better way is there to achieve this pur- pose than to leave the world and other Slovenes know vvhat they are doing in the various localities and what is the thing that moves them on. American Slovenes of any locality are anxious what is happening on St. Clair and in Newburgh or any part of the United States in the Slo¬ vene circles.

As a novelist Walpole is a realist and a materialist he reads and analyzes the minds of his characters with uncanny clearness and he gets beneath the surface. His new book ‘Rogue Iferries’ deals with a Scotch border elan during the reign of Queen Anne. These clanšmen are wild, un- couth men — selfish as indi- viduals, but loyal as a Član. Rogue Francis Herries is the brother who is the exception Because he has an unsavory rep- utation he is hated by the rest of the elan. This hatred he re- turns with interest. Rogue is married to a wife whom he no longer loves. She on her part is speechless because she fears -him. Thus he is lohely and cares but for one person, his son David. Lonely men are misunderstood men and there is an unexepected climax in the book when at the age of three score and ten years, h e finds a girl, the daughter of Rogues and thieves, a girl of the gutter with whom there is a May and November love affair.

The flower is inconspicious because it is hidden under two large leaves and very close to the ground. Its color makes it especially hard. to locate; the petals a^e brownish or madder- purple and much resembles the soil on which it grows- The two deep green leaves are log-stem- med and woolly with much the shape of a heart. So if you see often a patch of large green heart- shaped leaves growing from a thick root which here and there shows above the ground and with a peculiar brownish cup-shaped flower below, you will know it is Wild Ginger. There are three other varieties in this species of Asarum but we do not have them here as they are native to the Southern states of Virginia, Tenn., and Carolinas. Almost next the clump of Wild Ginger I found this month was another interesting plant known as Bishop’s cap or Mitre- vvort. There is a true Mitrewort and a false Mitrewort; the plant I saw was the true. The leaves of this plant resemble those of the m o un ta in maple and are co^.red with prickly hairs on the upper surface while beneath it there are ndne. The flower is vvhite and consists of a špike of fine flowers. In the čase of the False variety the špike has many of these whitp flowers vvhile the true has fewer and these are more distinct. Each single flower on the špike of this true Mitrewort is classic. The tiny white blossom has five petals beautifully fringed which remind one of a highly orna- mented snow crystal.

T. SUHADOLNIK Some of the conditions that were effective in the beginning of the 1-7th century were also in effect in the 18th. The priests were the main force who inter¬ ested themselves in the literary field. Though now the Discalceled monks, instead of the Kapuscins and the Jesuits, whose forces Franciscans and some recular priests joined. Father Marko Pohlin, the pioneer of this era, was born at Ljubljana, in 1735. At the age of twelve he went to school at the monastery school at Mariabrunn near Vienna. With the completion of the Theological studies he returned to Ljubljana where the Discalceled Monks had a monastery of St. Joseph. Here he re- mained as the vicar uhtil 1774 when he was called to the Seminary at Vienna as a professor of theology. He returned to Ljubljana in 1781 where he was a subprior until 1784. He went to Mariabrunn where he died in 1801. Very active as a man of literature Father Poh- linis first work was the primer “Abecednika” pub- lished in Ljubljana in 1765, which however, is not pre- served- This was shortly followed with the “Kraynska Grammatika” published in German. With this work Pohlin wished to establish the fohndation for the Slo¬ vene language. He, however, did ali of his reform as an individual who Was not too particidar to keep the old forms of the^ Protestant literary men whose forms were correct though.. not the latest. In the main his language is phometically the language of the Slovenes of Ljubljana. He did not consider the traditional forms and etymology that have been infroduced by Trubar and Bohorcic. His reforms included even the chang- ing of the characters of Bohorcic. He wished to Change the f and. fh to s and Sh. For s and sh he substituted f and fh- These changes did not last long for he was violently attacked by some of his contemporaries. His other changes and introductions were good and he made some constructive additions to the lan¬ guage. He wag the first to find the gender endings of words ending in o - a and -i. He introdueted the loca- tive and the instrumental cases and brought the Vo- cative and Ablative from the Latin. The most im- portant part of the grammar is devoted to discussion of poetic expression and to the forms of poetry. In themselves they are practically worthless. Theiretically Pohlin could not distinguish between metre- and aceent . ■* and in his versification he was strongly influenced by the German rennaisance Poets especially Gottsched As a result are written in hexameters and alenandrian meter. Tho his book as a book is practically worthless it served to kindle a desire to creat Slovene poetry in some of the contemporaries. His book really was the cause of the inereased interest and the success of the first S'ovene Poet Valentine Vodnik. In the later editions of the Grammar, Pohlin add ed a small dictionary which contains some very good verbal additions to the language while there are also many wOrds that show poor invention or adaptation. Pohlin began. the first scientific method of teach- ing literature and grammar. As practical aids to the study of language he v/rote books of a practical na¬ ture. The first of his books was ‘Bukuvze fa rajtengo’ a very elementary arithmetic: he edited BeckerG' “Kmetom sa potrebo in pomozh” in wbich he included a map of the S^vene places and Slovene localities. Nor was ali of his educational, work of a very practical na¬ ture in 1788 he published the entertaining book of conundrums and riddles under the title ‘Kratkozhasne uganke od Petra Kumrasa.” Active as he was in the field of practical educa- tion he was even more active in rehgious publications. His sermons, legends, Mass and prayer books, trans- lation of Kanizius’ cateehism are especially numerous. Some he translated into the German. The Slovene chronocle that he intended to publish remainpd in manuseript, his bibliography of Slovene publications was published only after his death first as an appen- dix to the fourth volume of the eatalog publication of the Academy of Maria Theresa and in 1862 it appearecl under separate cover as the printing of a Ljubljana printer. Though Pohlin’s grammar was wanting in many things and his grammatical knowledge very superfi- cial, his enthusiasm and his activity in the literary circles and his love of the motherland and mdther- tongue gained for him many friends upon whom his Influence made a tepng mark. The poetic rennaisance of this period can be laid as a tribute to his interest in poetry. With his gram¬ mar and also verbal enthusiasm he encouraged his monastic hrothers and friends in a real interest in poetry and poetic expression. His work was so fruit- ful that v/hen he was leaving Ljubljana in 1775, Val¬ entine Vodnik, then a young man, read his first poetic production in Father Marko Pohlin’s honor the “Milo Pesem” as a farewell piece. The enthusiasm of Marko Pohlin was contagious and soon other monks took up his work with great enthusiasm- A discalceled monk, Father John Damas- cen« Dev began the gathering of poetry of the period and publishing it under the title “Skupspravljanje krajnskih PISSANIZ od lepih umetnosti” as an an- nual publication. The first appeared in 1779 and others in 1780, and 1781. The annual poetical anthology was made possible under pressure of the Franco-German Almanacs. Pariš began the Almanac movement when the first “Almanac deS muses” appeared in 1765. German poets and publishers grasped the French idea and they themselves issued a ‘ Mussenalmanach” at Gottingen and Lipsic. With this humble beginning there was soon a whole line of similar efforts. The most in¬ teresting in Slovene literature is the one that was published at Vienna in 1777. Important because from the. Vienna almanac it is very likely that the Slovenes got their idea- The Austrian poets were many šteps behind the •German poets and while Goethe was already turning out masterpieces the Austrian poets stili labored with the pastoral poetry of the Rococo age. The examples that were copied verv apishly were the poems of Gell- ert, Hagedorn and Gleim. At the head of the anti- auated form movement was Michael Dennis a pupil of Klopstock and Ossian, the court bard of Maria Theresa and Blumauer and Alxinger, pupils of Weiland. Their 1 names are therefore intimately connected with the Wiener Mussenalmanach from the years 1777 - 1795. These facts are mentioned because of the influ¬ ence the ^oets of Vienna had upon the Slovene poet¬ ical efforts. It is very probable that the Slovenes be¬ came acquainted with the Almanac through the me- dium of Marko Pohlin who was at the Seminary in Vienna at the time. Contents of the Slovene Almanac ‘Tissanic” do not exceed the quality of the poets Hagedorn, Gellert and Gleime and the later addition ol Metastasio the Court poet and dramatist, and coni- poser of Italian operas. Besides Dev, contributors to the Pissanic was Poh¬ lin, John Mihelič, pastor at Radečah, Martin Naglic (a jesuit before the dissolving of the religious ‘orders) teacher of poetry in Ljubljana and Valentine Vodnik a I ranciscan. Most of the contributions to the Pissan- i.- vvere anonymous. In the first edition are found narrative ,poems written in Hexameters, distichs anh Alexandrian meter, written after the style of Dennis The poems praise the noble queen Maria Theresa Joseph II besides there ate verses of praise for Pohlin s giammar and praise of his work. Later editions the almanac included some lyrics written in siroph stanzas,^ the best of which is Vodnik’s “Sadovolne Kiajnz. Characteristic of the narrative poems ofih e later editions is that they do not praise so much as th) rhoralize. Other poems of the later editions include mottos and epigrams and some translations from tli« German. The second annual number contains De'- “Belin” an opperetta or as he styles it as ‘sung t ale ' The mušic for it was written by Jocob Zupan- Poetic excellence the poems of the yearly auth 0 ogies was poor and practically worthless.

X x A y printing; The origin of the glove dates 3 a ek to remote antiquity — they were known in prehistoric times to the cave dvvellers- The an cient Persians wore them and the Greeks appropriated the cus tom from them. Mittens are among the dress accessories found with mumies of priestess- es dating from the 21st dynasty of Egypt. They were of the same material as the upper gar- ment. The monks under Charlemag- ne (742-814) were granted the unrestrieted right to hunting in return for making gloves, glrdles and book covers from the skins of the deer they kill- ed. The wearing of gloves wa.s almost universal among the Ger man and Scandinavians in the eighth and ninth centuries-Ponti- fical gloves made their first ap pearance in France, and reached Rome toward the end of the lOth century, about which time silk gloves became the vogue among kings, nobles and church digni- taries. These gloves were often elaborately embroidered and jevveled- From earliest times the glove vvas a symbol of power, divinity and love. Many chivalrous deeds vvere performed in its name. A knight often had occasion to de- fend his lqdy’s glove vvith his 'ijte. Thro-yving a glovp at thp feet of a person challenged, him tp pick it up and fight a duel. Gloves served a lowly purpose, too, at a time vvhen knives and forks vvere unknown and people ate with their fingers. The early custom of vvearing gloves is mostly confined te Continental Europe. In China the long-sleeved robes madb gloves unnpcessary and po they vvere unknovvn, but in Japan hunters and archers found them most convenient. Among the American Indians only the Es- kimos are knovvn to have worn gloves. They 'Ihave not been found among the Afričan tribes; in fact, gloves are not traceable to the tropies. There are many superstitions connected with gloves. For in¬ stance: A girl who puts on her right-hand glove first is doomed to be an old maid. Losing a but- ton vvithin 24 hours of pu,r- ohasing a new pair of gloves means losing a svveetheart. VVearing one glove and carrying the other denotes a man of fem- inine temperment. A person who loses a glove must throw its mate away or stand a finan- cial loss. ejsina who is the wide avvake soon finds the combination and starts the characteristic dance of the Slovene weddings — the Pillow Dance. And that is something to await and some¬ thing that is vvorth vvhile get- ting into. Selection and natural preference because of the sta- tion that people possess is only half of the reason why some choose partners with whom to dance. The heart is also a vital faetor in deciding who the part¬ ner shall be. There is no reason to go into extraordinary details of a Slo¬ vene vvedding because ali are ac- quainted with ali the details and T they are not acquainted with he details they will have an op- portunity of seeing th vvhole of it staged by the Jugoslav Slo- vne club aft the International Spring festival that will he held on June 15 or 22 depending on 4 he weather.

The members of the Jugoslav Slovene club are conscious that it vvill be an occasion on vvhieh they vvill be able to shovv other nationalities vv.hat their life is and ho the Slovenes do things when they are not in the spot- light of the public.
