You „jH find scavengers everywhere. You will find the man with petty thoughts as well as the one w'ith bati vision, but I have been satisfied that principally they have a very keen insight into a kuman being, and moreover an intellectuality that is deep]y en- graved even in their faces. Of course, you must realize that allhough the peasant is some- limes a very deep philosopher of life, he is as a rule uneducated, m the term that we use the word, that is, he doesn’t know his rnath- ematics and his history as well ;aswe do, and he doesn’t wear taedos or fde his nails. But then, teli me, what is ed- ucation? ' Long ago, in Slovenia, as in dl European countries the feuda] ! )stem prevailed and it is inter- esting to note the arrangement °f the villages.

Fal|e, Another Slovene, Takes Second Plače With 36 girls of Sheboygan competing for the honor and the prize which was accorded with the honor it was two Slovene girls who have been successful in taking the two first places in the Miss Sheboygan contest which was conducted by the Sheboygan Press. 18,000,000 Votes Čast How vvidespread was the in- terest in the contest can be seen from the fact thai more than 1 8,- 000,000 votes for the candidates were čast. Of this number 4,- 916.000 votes were given to the Slovene candidate Miss Mary Juntz of Sheboygan while the second prize in the contest took 1.945.000 votes to get the second prize. Trip to Bermudas Besides the honor of being named 'Miss Sheboygan” Miss Mary Juntz will get a free trip to the Berrnudas, the same prize will be given to Miss Anna Falle as the second prize winner. The honor of being known as “Miss Sheboygan” will also bring the opportunitv of competing for the State honor of being named as “Miss Wisconsin.” Wisconsin Slovenes Happy Miss M’aiy Juntz, the Slovene candidate is a very popular girl among the Slovenes as vvell as many of ihe other natives of the city of Sheboygan. It was with particular interest that the Slo¬ venes of that city have been keep- ing track of the contest and though she bas never been away from first plače the Slovenes have "'°odland and waste, pasture and 1 been solidly behind ber m tbe is corn field in an- lu| uvated fields.

THREE HUNDRED SOKOLS TO EXHIBIT SKILL Rythmatic, brilliant, skillful work of the Sokol athletes loses niuch of the force and -of the showyness that naturally attends škili when it is performed under glare of artificial illumination which is not the most efficient method of shovving how beau- tiful a group of men and women can be when they are doing things in unison. Sokol drills and ex- cercises are naturally intended to be performed in the open. That is where they are shown to the best affect and with the maxi- mum amount of joy to the spec- tator as well as the performer. Phat this is a real čase will be evident to anyone who vvill be at the picnic and outdoor exhi- bition of the Cleveland, Collin- wood and the Euclid Sokol which will be held next Sunday -after- noon at the Slovene Home on Recher Ave. The performance is scheduled to begin at 2.00 P. M. Including almost three hundred trained gymnasts the afternoon vvill be a gala occasion for the Sokol groups of Cleveland and their friends. Every form of ap- paratus vvill be used as well as many excercises vvhich do not need apparatus. Everything vvill be interesting and enjoyable. Under the leadership of the Strugglers Harmony Aces the dancing vvill begin after the gym- nastic exercises vvill be conclud- ed.

BOŽIDAR JAKAC SENDS BEST REGARDS A big program is planned for Sunday by the Slovene Ladies Union at their Annual Picnic vvhich vvill be held this year again at Pintar’s farm. For the men and ladies, races and contests have been arranged by the Ladies Union; each race and contest having more laughs than ten Henry Burbing skits.

VACATI|ONIST’S POSTCARD That a great distance from Cle- was|veland is not necessary for a good vacation is evident from the enthusiastic card vve have re¬ ceived from Miss Rose Erste who is vacationing at Vermillion on- the-lake vvith the faculty of her school. She sends the best re¬ gards to the readers of the Cle¬ veland Journal. “Alas, hovv time goes! No! Time stays, vve go” that is the inscription on the monument ded- icated to Time, one of the prin- ciple thoroughfares in Chicago. Hovv truthfully the monument and the inscription indicate a very important truth vvhich cannot be concealed. Things vvhich others have done before us vve enjoy. Things that vve do in our own time are done so shortly before our death that vve have scarcely time to consider their eventual beauty utility or their practability. Whenever a thing or an under- taking is vvorthy of the toil that is put into it, people vvho come after are always vvilling to recog- nize the efforts to those vvho vvent before and do them honor. That at any rate is the feeling that is evident at St. Mary’s of the Assumption, Slovene parish on Holmes avenue vvhen they vvill celebrate the silver anniversary of the founding of the parish. It vvill be a great celebration for the plans have included sol- emn church ceremonies and a banquet vvhich vvill be held at the Slovene Home on Holmes avenue on August 16, 1931. St. Mary’s vvas organized in November, 1905, under the lead¬ ership of Rev. Marko Pakiž vvho about that time vvent to seek the advice of Rev. Vitus Hribar, then an assistant at St. Vitus parish. As. a result it vvas decid- ed to start a parish somevvhere east in Collinvvood. Mr. Mike Skebe, one of the Slovene pio¬ neers in Cleveland and a group of earnest men then grouped and made it possible to establish a Slovene parish on the east side of Cleveland. Rev. M'arko Pakiž vvas the first pastor. Form the beginning the parish- oners of the nevv parish attended several masses as they vvere held at St. Joseph’s parish in the old St. Joseph’s church vvhich at that time stood at the corner -of As- pinvvall and Saranac roads. In 1906, the nevv church vvas al- ready built vvhen the nevvs came that Rev. Marko Pakiž vvas to leave for West Allis, Wis. His successors Rev. Andrevv Smrekar, vvho is even today referred to as the “beloved pastor” vvas at the head of St. Mary’s for four years. Real activity and progress vvhen the parish vvas more firmly established vvas made by Rev. Paul Hribar, a nephevv of the present pastor Rev. Vitus Hribar. With characteristic energy he es¬ tablished mission centers in ali the nearby villages for the pur- pose of teaching catechism vvhich he and his sister took čare of. He built the old school vvith its four rooms and luxury in those days and had the Sisters of St. Uršula instruct the children of the par¬ ish. The vvhole parish as vvell as the vvhole of Cleveland vvas sad- dened as the nevvs came that he and his sister vvere killed at the railroad Crossing on Recher ave., vvhile on the vvay to Bervvick vil¬ lage to instruct one of the reli- gion classes there. Rev. Joseph Skur vvho succeed- Next Sunday vvill be a gala af¬ fair at Spelko’s farm vvhen the United Lodges hold their annual picnic. This vvill not be an or- dinary picnic, it vvill be some- thing special for on this day it vvill be decided vvho is the most popular. man or vvoman in the settlement. Some thirteen con- testants have been for the past three months vvorking zeaIously to get this title and on August 2nd it vvill be decided vvho sold the most tickets and vvho vvill merit the prize. The first prize is a round trip ticket to Jugoslavia vvhile the holder of the lucky ticket vvill be afforded the same prize. Besides this there vvill be over thirty other prizes both for the contestants and those holding the lucky tickets—and ali this vvill be given away Sunday, Aug¬ ust 2nd. Trucks vvill carry patrons from the Nottingham car line to the picnic grounds starting at 1 p. m. There vvill be refreshments dancing and fun galore as only the United Lodges can put it over. The United Lodges of St. Vitus have been for years gather- ing funds for the nevv Church vvhich is fast nearing completion and as usual the receipts from this picnic vvill, go tovvards the Church Fund. Let’s ali be there, vvhat say?

SLOVENE VVEDDING PER¬ FORMED AT STATE FAIR At the request of the prepara- tory committee for the Wisconsin State Fair the Slovene of Mil- vvaukee vvill perform a typical Slovene peasant vvedding at the Wisconsin State Fair to be held this Fali. The affair has been advertised far and wide and the greatest of interest prevails for it among the Slovenes and even more among different nationali- ties. Slovene is Worid’s Best Gpnast Title Champion Given Him After His Brilliant Work at Pariš CONTESTS VERY CLOSE Štukelj Was Large Figure in In¬ ternational Meets Since 1924 ed him bought property adjacent to the property already held, re- modeled the church and decora- ted it. The present pastor came there on November 1 7, 1922 and im- mediately things vvere entered vvith great energy. But the size of the parish by; this time vvas getting so large that one man vvithout help could not hope to ad minister it properly and do the vvork justice. With permission of the bishop, Rev. Milan Slaje vvas brought to this country from Eu- rope much to the joy of the peo¬ ple vvho loved him immediately. In the vvork of the young it vvas Rev. George Hovanec vvho estab¬ lished the societies for the young and managed to get united ac- tion from them. During the admjnistration of Rev. Vitus Hribar, the ichurdh (Continued on page tvvo) Slovenes contributed to the making of world’s history last Tuesday night at the Stadium, vvhen the light curtain faded and reveuled the plains and deserts of Egypt vvith its sphinxes and pyramids inchoating vvith the opera “Aida”, the most capacious opera season the vvorld has ever knovvn. The opening night of the Cle¬ veland Stadium Opera—the night that v,'as to remain saliant in the retrospection of the entire mušic vvorld—vvas dedicated to the Slovenes. Observant of the def- erence paid them by this dedica- tion, the Slovenes turned out in greit numbers; everywhere you could see Slovene faces, ali vvere present from the rising genera¬ tion to the vvaning elders, from the rich to the poor, from the merchant to the laborcr, from those accustomed to opera to those seeing it for the first time —in fact it vvas a trne Slovene night. Slovenes vvere not on!y repre- sented by the audience, but also by the personnal of the opera. In the choruš of the opera there vvere five- Slovenes: Marie Men- singer and Marie Potočnik, so- pranos; Molly KozeIly ,alto; Louis Belle, first tenor and Joseph Mauer Baritone. The chorus ex- ercises a most imposing part in the opera “Aida”, and can either make or break the opera. But the chorus vvas in excellent voice last Tuesday night, reaching its zenith in the stupendous and mighty triumphant return of Ra- dames. This vvas the greatest chorus ever assembled for any opera in the entire musical his- torv of the vvorld and to have so many Slovenes in it certainly is credible to the cultural up- grovvth of the Slovenes. Rita De Leporte and her Corps de Ballet Just as brilliant vvas Miss Zel Canker, a Slovene from Collin¬ vvood, vvho vvas also represented in the ballet. vvere marvelous-and so vvas our Miss Emily Fabian, vvho vvas a member of the Corps de Ballet. Miss Fabian vvas also a featured dancer at the shovving of Act II of the opera “Carmen” given on Thursday, July 30th. But during the opera vveek the Slovenes did not only play the role of spectators and chorus members but vvere also represent¬ ed by a Slovene director, Mr. Ivan Zorman vvho last Thursday, July 30 directed the special Bo- hemian chorus in the opera “The Bartered Bride.” “The Bartered Bride” chorus consisted of three hundred members and it vvas cer- tarinly an honor for Mr. Ivan Zor¬ man to have this large group of voices under his baton—and this in the vvorld’s greatest opera saason. As a vvhole, Verdi’s “Aida” vvas resplendant in its glamour — a masterly production through- out. When it vvas promised that it vvould break ali opera records, no one imagined that it vvould reach immense heights as it did (Continued on page tvvo) A Slovene is recognized as the best gymnast in the vvorld. That coveted plače has been accord¬ ed to Leon Štukelj, a Slovene of Maribor, vvhen he succeeded in getting 1 1 5 points to outclass ali the other gymnasis vvho have been gathered at Pariš for the 01ympic Games, tvvo vveeks ago vvith representatives from ali the European nations. It remained for a Slovene to carry off the bighest honors in the internation- ij competitions and receive the honor as the best all-around gym- nast in the vvorld. Hard Competition Such a plače as the champion gymnast has its ovvn special hon- crs, especially vvhen the other competition is measured in con- trast to the record made by Leon Štukelj. Though 115 points vvas the highest record it vvas a close- ly contested meet. A Czechislo- vak came second vvith 1 1 3 points; a Finn vvith 112; a Svviss vvith 1 1 1 and an Italian vvith 107 points. With the consideration of the fact that the Italian and Svviss gymnasts make a specialty of the gym apparatus in their ex- ercises, the victory becomes more lustrous. Try for Other Honors It vvas natural that the French vvould enter the greatest amount of athletes in the contests, but even in spite of the great num¬ bers, they have not been very successful. Tbe events on the ap¬ paratus have been completed but the other events of a gymnastic meet are being decided in some very close contested events. Re- ports from Pariš say that the Ju- goslav Sokols are very much on edge and are fighting ali the way to get the highest honors for the vvhole competition. In Four Olympics Leon Štukelj first attracted the spotlight in gymnastics in 1922 vvhen he did brilliant vVolrk in the games held at Ljublana. In the 01ympic games in Pariš in 1924 he vvas hailed as champion. In 1926 and 1928 in the Olym- pics at Lyons and Amsterdam he also placed. Last year at the European games at Luxemburg he had amassed a great number of points vvhen he vvas seriously injured vvhen some apparatus on which he vvorked suddenly crash- ed to the ground. Štukelj hopes to renevv his suc- cesses at Los Angeles vvhere the 01ympic games vvill be held next year.

GRILL BUSINESS SLOVENK SCHOOLS While we may be ever so proud of the achievements of the Slovene schools that are being held at the present time and which are attracting the attention of the Slo¬ vene youth, we cannot in justiee forget what has been done in the past by those who were in a position to do so. It is almost a generation since the Slovene immi- grants have come to this country in gre at numbers and almost ali of them were eager to be established or lo cated in a body where mutual interest in language and the local conditions in the old country could be of com- fort to them while they were trying their best to beeome acclimated. In the communities in which they have settled they have almost invaribly set up their own churches and their own schools vvhere the Slovene boys and girls, men and women of today, received the first introduction to the three R’s. But even fifteen or twenty years ago the mat- ter of education was a simple matter where the graduate from the eighth grade could command a position of ex ecutive responsibilities. In those days there were none of the complications of the “platoon system” or the “pro ject method” and ali the other innovations with which education of today is so anxious to experiment. Those days every teacher taught what to her opinion was con sidered the best for the youth of its clay to čope with the problems *of life. The curriculum was not standardized Into that curriculum some person capable of teaching the Slovene taught the boys and girls to read and write even if they did not get ali the technical details of grammar and rhetoric of the Slovene language. It vvas a beginning for some at least, into the delightful realms of Slovene literature. Education of the last decade has been going ahead in leaps and bounds and every kincl of innovation has been start e d and whether convinced of the usefulness or not the standardizing body must be looked after. Slo¬ vene or any other foreign language in the grade schools finds no plače. Systematized or continued study of Slo¬ vene in the grade school is out of the question. It is not the fault of the people at the head of the various Slovene grade schools, but other conditions which are culculatec to fit the študent into the other schemes and other sys tems of education. As a substitute for the lack of time in the regular curriculum, Slovene schools after school hours or on Saturclay mornings, or even Slovene instruc- tion during the summer time have been resorted to. The fact. remains, however, that while the greatest amount of Slovene is not taught, the effort is being macle to give some of that instruction. That the results are not more evident is the fault of others rather than the people whc are willing to teach Slovene and have made it possible for Slovene children to attencl local schools. While we are proud of the progress of Slovene schools in connection with the Slovene National Homes we must not forget that others are also doing their share in the work and Slovene grade schools are among the number. vvithout ali sorts of needs to Kave a promising son educated. The rnother will perform ali sorts of rnenial labors, she will strain her pinched body to the utmost, dreaming of the son who is away at school, studying to be a great man, a doctor or perhaps a priest who will pray for her starved soul. The architecture of the chur¬ ches is very different from what 1 have seen anywhere. There are no electric lights used and the :ffect is so beautiful that one is loath to part from the harmony. But then, Mr. Jakac has very thoroughly described Slovene art in his lectures. The so-called educated group of people are not much different from us. The only exception is that the people study much hard- er and knovv ali information in detail. They are serious and they appreciate everything very much more than we do. They feel sincerely that Amer¬ ičana are very wealthy and they always keep saying that we are fortunate because we live here. Franly, the people in the United States work harder and are ma¬ terial^ more ambitous. In Lju¬ bljana, people generally have only two or three rooms in which they live and they seem satisfied. And another thing—everyone closes his store and business plače {or tvvo hours at noon in order to take .a nap! I sincerely feel that if the people here worked like vre do that they would have a richer country. When I teli them of the untiring American methods, th'ey don’t believe me. As a rule, these peoplfe are not go-getters, they are not the rest- less, aggressive American type. Their homes. some of them, are very lovely, and only the wealthiest people have the con- veniences that may be found in almost any ordinary American home. 1 have been in quite a num¬ ber already, and the only home that has American ideas is that of Madame Paula Lovše. Most probably she conceived her plans during her sojourn in America, The Slovene homes are of Ibx Likris Conducted by the St. Ciair Branch Public Library. I he follovving are among the most interesting of the new books added to the St. Ciair Branch collection this summer. “Vagabonds,” the new novel by Knut Hamsun the author of “Grovvth of the Soil,” is consid- ered by some of the critics to be this vvriters greatest novel. It is a story of the Norwegian fishing villages, The heroes are August and Edevart, two aimless and charming young scapegraces who wander up and down the sea coast thus making their living. Sometimes they are rich to the extent of fine gold rings and vvatches, at other times penniless. They go their way roistering, lov- ing, making friends and now and again losing them, but always en- joying life with the whole-hearted enthusiasm of youth. Knut Hamsun has drawn the pictures of his Norvvegian peas- ants in this book with the same artistry that characterizes his best known novel ‘ ‘Grovvth of the Soil.” % “The 5ixth Joisrney,’ > by Aliče Grant Rosman, is told just as charmingly as are two former stories by this same vvriter, “Jock the Scot,” and “Visitors to Hu¬ go.” Miss Rosman knows youth, and her books are always read with a great amount of pleasure by the younger adult readers. “The Sixth Journey” i s the story of Judith the daughter of a war romance. She was born in the mad hysterical days when soldiers on leave took life in both hands not knowing but what it might be their last chance. Judith, then has a sad plight amid her father’s managing female relatives. Hovv- ever, the “Sixth Journey,” is hers to home happiness, and love. The dialogue in this book is witty and the characterization deft. St “The Portrait of a Man With Red Hair,” by Hugh Walpole, is a fantasy. It is bloodcurdling and grotesque. The author has used his škili as a psychologicaI por- trayer of character to describe the intricate vvorkings of a mad- man’s brain. A man who is so mad that he is cunning enough to ippear perfectly rational. The setting of this story is in Cornwall in the village of Tre- lišs. The time covered by the story is just twelve hours.

The European home is beauti¬ ful but the American home is more convenient. The men here arerft much dif¬ ferent from ours, but the sty'e of dress can never surpasi that of the A me- :can man. Only occa- sionally cloes a similarity occur. As far as dress is concerned egarding men and women in general, the American rales first. The wiimen here are neat but they haven’t the class that vve have. ’] heir dresses are ver i expensive, but in styl.r, they can¬ not compare with ours As far as industry is concern¬ ed, the people here do not think of money first, as we do. To them pleasure and health are their only vvorries. Even the poorest of people go out of town on week ends for pleasure trips. They en- joy the bathing resorts and they especially like going high in the mountains. Slovenia, of course, has fac- tories. It has its banks, in fact it has ali the appurtenances for a great indusirial life, but the people are not aroused to a ma terial existence. They have business girls who vvork in offices too, but their work is not hard and they usually do not have posltions where they meet the firm’s customers. The social life of Slovenes con- sists largely of drama and opera. Their Opera House is not very large, but it ii very artistically built and appointed. You must remember, of course, that Slo¬ venia cannot be compared to America in size. There is a Uni- versity building for ali complete courses, of which Slovenes boast very much and of which even we should feel proud of. Marijin Trg is a very busy and a very interesting section of the city. 1 heir Tivoli is a beautiful park vvith wide walks,• beautiful trees and gorgeous landseaping. That is where the people usually prom¬ enade in the afternoons or some¬ times in the cool evenings. Their cafes! They have rovvs of round tablcs vvith seats “out- side” of the cafe.

The only serious mountain climb- ing experience I have had vvas at Šmarna Gora. The vvomen here are independ- ent and free-thinking, but of course, they are not obsessed vvth the fever of living that some of the American girls are experienc- ing. I vvould say that the Slo¬ vene vvomen are like the Ameri¬ can, only they attach a more val- uable meaning to life. Of course, the country girls are just as you ■coy and ed by crosses at ali the roadvvays and little chapels vvhere people stop for a moment and pray. \Ve were in Toplice recently vvhere I experienced my first bug- gy ride.

One day, hovvever, one of Ravbaris serfs told him that out of the numerous servants kept by Erazem there vvas one, Sebidrag by name, vvho vvas continually m; n ,, ling vvith Ravbaris troops. This Sebidrag, it was re ported, vvas always intimating that he vvould betray his lord if paid well enough. Happy that this vvould bring the solution to the čase, Ravbar adjuped his servant to bring Sebidrag to him, the next time he vvould meet him. That same day Sebidrag was brought before Rav¬ bar. Being quite munificent in his offers Ravbar soon convinced Sebidrag that it vvas his best monetary interests to betray Predjamski. plimo Jeis d efea | to 0 aI [avorites “But, hovv vvill it be possible for us to entice him out of the vvalls and capture him?” queslioned Ravbar, after terms had been agreed upon. “There is no question of getting him outside the vvalls”, joyfully ansvvered the second Cagliostro. “I my- self have a plan vvorked out, whereby you can kil! the outlavv right in his ovvn castle.” "What is this plan?” anxiously returned the em- peror’s legate.

Zabukovec on the rubber for the Orels had the Loyalites completely baffled as he allovved but a single hit, a line single by Cetina into center field. Thrpughout the rest of the game Zabukovec was complete master of the situation, never in danger of being scored on. M. Sodja was the victim of hard lučk to strike such a time to be on the mound ' for the Champs. He also gave a neaf exhibtion of hurling, al!owing but two hits, only to have one of the hits go for a home run. J. Kostanjšek nicked him for the ;ircuit clout, a liner deep in be- tween left and center. F. Bran- celj got the other bingle, a sharp single into left. Zabukovec now boasts two victories over M. Sodj a, as he had previously defeated the S. N. P.

CLEVELAND JOURNAL Tower o 9 ^►FRANCES T. GERBEC^ Aida Giuseppe Verdi, Italy’s great est composer of opears, of which Rigoletto, II Trovatore, La Tra- viata, Aida, Otello and Falstoff remain in repertory, was bom in October 1813. His life was accentuated with sorrow and anguish which seem- ingly emphasized his career. He was only one year old vvhen war descended on the village of Le Roncoli. Some of the peasants sought refuge in the church, but the doors soon gave way before the soldiery. The mother of Ver¬ di, however, climbed up a secret passage into the belfry, hugging the child in her arms and the two of them were providentially saved from the mutilation. GROUP OF SPARTANS ON VISIT the new Italian Opera House that was built in Egypt. It was pro- duced 1 in Decemjber 1871 with remarhable success. The arias have ever since proved popular and Aida remains one of the most beautiful operas that we have. Aida is an Afričan princess, daughter of the king of Ethiopia. She is a captive in the Egyptian court and a maid to Princess Am- neris, daughter of the Egyptian king. The two women are both in love with Radames who is the commander of the Egyptian troops against Ethiopians. The love of Aida is torn be- tween her father, the leader of her people, and her lover, the LOYALITE OUTING Verdi’s father was a humble*commander of the enemy. The inn-keeper and Bagassett a rag- ged beggar, aware of the genius that was developing in the boy, Would teli Verdi’s father that one day the child would become a musician. Years later, when Verdi had already tasted of suc¬ cess, he wou!d sometimes meet Bagassett, and the old fellow vvould weep and stammer, “Ah, maestro! I knew yon when you were very little; but now— The Verdi family was very poor but the father noticing the boy’s ambition, bought him an old spinef, which now is an ob- solete instrument similar to that of a small harpsichord. Of course, Verdi soon played at the village church on Sundays, on festival occasions and at bap- tism, weddings, and funerals. In the meantime he attended the school in Busseto, three miles distant from his home. In this town, a wine merchant, Barezzi, took him into his home, secured a teacher for him and helped him to go to Milan to study, where Verdi was refused admis- sion to the Conservatory for not possessing sufficient talent! Hovvever, he became a private pupil of one of the Conservatory teachers and proved him,self a genius and a success. Returning from Milan he married the daughter of the wine merchant who had been so kind to him, but fortune did not favor his new life, for the wife and chil dren of Verdi died and the dis- aster saddened his life so much that ali of the operas that he wrote since that time were heavy, tragical and serious. The opera, Aida was com- posed at the request of the Khen- dive of Egypt, Ismal Pacha, for Egyptian king confers his daugh¬ ter to the victor, but on the eve of the wedding Aida secures from her lover the secret of the new plans of war for her father. Aida and Radames are intercepted and Radames is sentenced to be bur- ied alive for his misdeed. The jealousy of Amneris per- sists and as Radames refuses to give up Aida, he is doomed to be buried alive. When he enters the tomb, he finds Aida there, also, ready to share death with him. In the final scene, Amneris kneels at the tomb, repentant of her jea!ousy divided forever from the lovers who are together at last, in death. In Aida, the spectacle pro- duced by the Civic Opera Co., at the Stadium reached its; magni- ficent heights in the splendor of the second scene of the second act. The beauty of the first part of the scene, the ceremonies, the discovery of Aida’s father with the hosts of prisoners, reached its gigantic climax when the Afričan chieftain was released at the de- mand of Radames, and the daughter of the Egyptian king was bethrothed to the victor. The scene was consummated in a grand style for the large grounds afforded the space for a really munificent parade of war troops in their picturesque garb, carrying halberds; white-robed Bedouins, riding on their sleek, black, prancing horses, marching to the beautiful and popular strains of the march. The entire story, with its mys- terious problem of love, delves deep into every human heart. The actors, each one of them, are strong characters who produce an Misses Ange Turkovich, Mary Turkovich, Jo Hostnik, Gertie Garbas and Julia Ivančič, mem- bers of Spartans S. S. P. Z., visit- ed the “home-port” (a la Jo Hostnik) of Trojans in Girard, Ohio. Mrs. Yaklevich, the accommo- dating hostess served a tasty and appetizing lunch to the guests and Tessie Yaklevich and Anthony Yaklevich certainly contributed to the very pleasant experiences that the Spartan group carried away with them. They showed them through the spacious and beauti¬ ful gardens and the girls were de- lighted when Miss Tessie led them to the charming little nook where she received her gentlerrtpn friends. The group also visited the Bratush family who provided them with excellent hospitality and promised to attend the Spar¬ tan dance on August 1 5 th. At Idora Park in Youngstown, the group spent the rest of the afternoon horse riding, or rather horse racing. Miss Julia Ivan¬ čič’s horse, we understand, won by a noše. - Of course, as the šport did not seem sufficiently exhilarating, they had an encounter with a wild-cat, but to ali knowledge, it was not fatal and the party re- turned safely under the expert tutelage of Miss Gertie Garbas, who is quite adept in motor car manipulation. Miss Josephine Hostnik' con- fesses: “We thank the Yakle- vich’s and the Bratush’s for their vvonderful hospitality and hope they visit us soon so that we can repay them.’ I cBeautj Hints SKIN CREAMS outstanding TWO SLOVENE GIRLS WIN popularitv CONTEST at SHEBOYGAN, (WIS). The Loyalites had an outing on July 19 at Debevec’s farm. The grounds are large and very beau¬ tiful and the members and their friends spent a very delightful day roaming through the fields. Some of them found relief from the heat by going swimming and others enjoyed the usual fa¬ vorite pastime—horseshoes.

Van¬ ishing creams are used primarily as a base upon which to apply face powder. When rubbed upon the skin they disappear, but leave a surface to which face powder will adhere.
