Dancer Present Between the acts of the last play a dancing chorus from the Dorothy Frank Dance Studio will give two dances, “Snappy Steps” and “Dance Military.” Many members of the group are students of the Slovene School. Following “Miklavž prihaja,” Santa Claus will come to the large Christmas tree to be erected in the hali and distri- bute gifts to the children. Or¬ ders for gifts are now being ta- ken by the secretary of the Slovene National Home who will make sure that Santa Claus will forget no one who left an order at the Home. Accordion Duet The Germ brothers will also be present to offer accordian duets. The Slovene School is an im- Iportant institution, and since its operating expenses are taken čare of in the main by such af- fairs as will be given Christ¬ mas eve, the committee strongly urges that everyone make it his point to be present at this af fair and thus give moral as well as financial support to the Slo¬ vene School.

CLEVELAND SOKOLS GIVE FOR ENTERPRISES ^ubscription Rates: One year Six Months: $1.00 $2.00 Established May 24th, 1928 ■ 104 MERRY CHRISTMAS The words may be oldfashioned and by this time ages old but recurrently they convey very appropriately the feeling which one has to another during the Christmas season. It is the season of exehanging gifts with one another. It is the season of repairing those friendships which have grown lax or which may have died altogether. A present sent or only a greeting heartily given is sufficient to make the world look cheery in spite of the difficulties that beset us. In the špirit of the Christmas season and with the heartiest feeling the Cleveland Journal wishes each one of its readers the merriest Christmas. May the špirit of this Christmas season carry you on through the rest of the year and keep you going with a smile in your heart and a smile on the lips looking for the silver lining in surroundings which look black and fore- boding. A Merry Christmas! DESERVES ANOTHER Without a doubt there are many things which the Slovenes will need during this Christmas season to fulfill those social ob- ligations or obligations of love in the selection and the exchange of gifts with one another. No doubt the size and the financial layout for the’ conveyance of the season’s heartiest greetings will be less than it was last year, that, not due to the fact that the heart has grown smaller and does no react to the špirit of the season but because in many cases workers have been cut oft' completely or greatly dimniished from the financial incomes. With events as they are there is no reason to doubt that the pre- sents which will be exchanged will be smaller but the heart will be j ust as big. The Cleveland Journal is not raising this plea for the Christ¬ mas season only but wishes to call attention on the fact that the local Slovene merchants who are always willing to support cultural programs and movements by contributing to the pro¬ gram advertising, to the patronage of the performances, or even by aiding with cash financial aid. The merchant in turn de- serves ali the help of the local Slovenes because the merchant is generous enough to give support. The old adage one good turn deserves another is j ust as true with the merchant and the neighborhood as it is in any other field. Besides this the merchant himself has confidence enough in the Slovene people to keep a store open to be of Service to the community so that the Slovenes are not forced to incommodate themselves by going to the downtown store to buy the same merchandise. It is a good time to start the work now and keep it going during the whole of the year. It is the local merchant who supports the activities here why not support him when the opportunity grants itself. One good turn deserves another.

Also the lodge which includes athletics along with its other features is going to be the most attractive for the future j unior member who may be directly related to the mem¬ ber now playing the game. Sports an Aid The introduction of athletics in lodges does not guarantee the ; stability of the lodge. It does, however, serve as a strong ageu- cy in further developing that contact which breeds sociability to forty thousand people. Now those who have attended the games this season know that oftentimes there were crowds of fifteen hundred to three thou¬ sand taking in only the one game which makes our grand total of forty thousand a very conservative figure to say the least. What \vonderful opportunities are in store for lodges fostering sports we’ll leave for you to de cide.

She was born in Susex County, England in the middle of the 19th century before the days when the government re pealed the corn laws and during the time when anyone caught poaching for game was pun- ished severely. Due to the fact that the squire of the manor took in¬ terest in his tenants and also to the fact that the Sprays be- longed to an obscure reiigious sect, known as the Colgate Brethren, rather than to the es¬ tablished church, they were un- able to benefit by any charity which might have helped their extreme poverty. Susan was the oldest of six children. At six years of age she saw her first Vision. From that day on she become a power among the brethren. Through- out the rest of her life, Siisan’s ability to see visions helped to cstablish her as a successful, evangelistic preacher. The end of the book finds her the tri- umphant preacher of a new church known as the Church of “Jehovah-Jireh.” This book is the best novel that Sheila Kaye-Smith has written since Johanna Godden and in many ways it is a more finished and mature piece of vvork. One feels that the author thoroughly disapproves and dis- likes her heroine, that she is thoroughly out of sympathy with her ideas and way of doing things. Nevertheless Susan Spray is a powerfully drawn ,. character and an interesting one. “Maid in Waiting” — By John Galsworthy Once again after an interlude of four years, when the last oi the Forsyte series was com- pleted, John Galsworthy again occupies himself with this new novel of contemporary English life. Admittedly not in any way ecming up to the mark of “The Forsyte Saga,” stili the “Maid in Waiting” portrays ' marveloulsly those intangible thinks in life which make up the sum of human existence — suffering and injustice which characterizes Galsworthy’s writ- ings. Denny Cherreil, a cousin by marriage to Fleur Forsyte, — (Galsworthy can’t seem to for- get the Forsytes) is the heroine of the story. This girl exempli- fies the finer traits of charac¬ ter in the younger generation, and her loval efforts to save a brother, who has gotten himsell into trouble, make up the major part of the plot. In this book terlodge League this past sum- mer has attracted and enter- tain upwards of forty thousand people during the course of its schedule. Our estimate is based on the following.

Pupin oi Columbia University for his achievements as “scientist, en¬ gineer, author and inventor,” it is announced' The award, which was,unani- mous, was made by a joinf taoard of sixteen prominent englnc-ers representing the National Foun- der Societies, The American In- stilutcs of Civil, Mining and Met - allurgical, Mechanical and Elec- trical Engineers and their ag- gregtate membership of more than 00,000. Dr. Pupin is professor emeri ■ tu.; of electro-mechanics and cu- reetor oi .the Phoenix Research 'Laboratory, at Columbia. Ali of his brilliant researcnes and Pro¬ fessional undertakings have been crowned with success, He hrs done his full share in bring- ing about the advancement of electrical Science to its 'present high pesition: In the estimation of the American public he is one of America’s leading scientists and holds an exalted position aftong the Ariierican contem- poraries of this era. He v/itness- ec’ the gradual develcpment and rise of idealism in American Science and he represents, as do but few, a cvonderful connection wit:li the old heroic, days of the earlv perieds of the nineteenth eentury. Among engineers* and scientists he is widely known for hi; epoch-making invention, v.'h.ich advanced the possibilities of shccessful long-distance tele- phon.v. the Pupin “loading ,go.U.” By means of these inductance • .coils placed at predetermined intervais of the transmitting wire, to step up the v/eakeniag current, he greatly extended the rangp of long-distance telephqr.y to thousands instead of hun- dreds of miles, particularly over telephone cables. His “Pupin čoii” enabled telephone compan- ies to use small wireš and high inductance conductors and save more than one hundred and tv/enty million dollars in twenty years. The patent of this in¬ vention vvas acquired in 1901 by the Bell Telephone Company and by German telephone in¬ teres !.s. A few years ago, \vhen the Bell Telephone System stretched their v/ires from the Atlantic ssaboard to the Pačili-.: coast of the United States, and President Theodore N. Vail, of the “A. T. & T.”, first made the human voice heard aeross a con- tinent, ther were Pupin coils at intervais of eight irales in that transcontinental ;line. In the whole world today there are more than three-quarter million Pupin coils in use in telephone lines, of which 600,000 are in the United States. The deveiopment of the “Pu¬ pin coil” v/as only one of the romances that grew from his ex- plorations into the unknov/n “Land of Wave Mechanics.”- Prof. Pupin’s further contribu- tions to scientific progress in- clude the method of electrical tun ing and rectification of os-' cillating circuits in electrical ,wave transmissions for wireless, and v/hich are fundamental op- | erations of the radio art todav. He discovered secondary X-ray j radiation in 1396 and combined | the use of fluorescent sereen j vitli X-ray which revolutionizecl j ' hort exposure X-ray photo- | ? -apUy—a God-send to medical !: Aence. He is known for his ad- i vanced work in the passage • of j Gectricitv through gasss and other scientific subjeets. Three | vears ago he made 'public a new I theory of life and the'universe. This theory advances that the | iife-giving energy of ali living j celiš comes from the all-envelop j ing ocean of the so-called “Milli- kan Rays” which are believed to originate from šolar radiation and fill every nook and corner of I the universe, permeating ali j space and which reach the earth | v/ith p’ower enough to penetrate ! s: x feet of lead. I 4 • Pupin is a familiar figure technical meetings and en- jcys an extrefne!y v/ide circle of Professional friendships. He is an active member of an unus- ually large number of scientific and technical societies and, what is more remarkable, he finds time to contribute to ali of tliem. Dr. Pupin is a past presi¬ dent of the American Associa- tion for Advancement of Scien¬ ces and the American Institue of Electrical Engineers, past chair- man of the Engineering Founda¬ tion, and was eleeted president cf the University Club of New York City. He is a member of the National Academy of Scien¬ ces, the American Philosophica! Society, the American Physical Society and other learned bodies. When the United States entered vvar in 1917 he became a member of the national advisory com- n lit: te c of the National Research Council and functioned as chair- man of the subeommittee on aeronauties and aireraft Com¬ munications to aid the Govern¬ ment. At the close of the war he continued his patriotic work by organizing the American re¬ lief work in the Balkans and in March 1919, he was invited to go to Pariš as chairman of the Jugoslav delegation to the Pariš Peace Conference. Numerous other honors have been presented to Dr. Pupin in j rečeht years; including the Edi¬ son Gold Medal of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Elliott Cresspn Gold Medal cf the famous Franklin Institute the gold medal of the National Institute of Social Sciences, the Herbert Prize of the French Academy and the Washington Award. by the associated engin¬ eers of the čountry for his out- standing Services in the promo- tion of the public good. To gain a more complete per¬ spektive of his rise from obscuri- ty of a poor immigrant to the \yorld-wide farne as a scientist, it is only neeessary to sketeh with few strokes the heraldic shield of his early background. He was a son of a Serb frontiers^ man and \vas born in Idvor, in the province of Banat, a village near Belgrade, on Oct. 4, 1858. At the age of twelve he guarded his father’s graziiig herd of ox- en, night after night, on pasture lands outside of the village. As he \vould lie on the plains, in Nature’s own laboratory, on long and black moonless Serb nights with his ear against the long vreoden handle of the knife v/hich was stuck in the ground. listening to the footsteps of the cattle to keep them from stray- ing and guard them against prowling cattle-thieves, he would look up through the blackness is the stars and listening to these night sounds he pondered “What is light?” he asked and “Wh^t is sound?” This gave him his first potent interest in the science of sound and light. These trains of thoughts continued to evolve as he went from the vil¬ lage school to the Academy of Prague. It v/as his endowed rebel špirit against the tyranny of Hungar- iEi rule and the lure of the ro¬ mance of science which finally caused him to come to America as a boy in 1874. > When he sailed for the United States he slept beside the smokestack to keep warm, having no money for blankets. He landed at Castle Garden v/ith five cents in his oocket. Though penniless, he brought to America something which he valued very highly and that was: A Knowledge of and a pcofound respcct and admiration for the best traditions of his race. His first j ob was working a team of mules on a Dsleware farm. He later worked by day in a New York cracker factory, and by night attended lectures at Coop¬ er Union. After many courageous strug- gles, he won an opportunity for an education when he v/as twen- ty-one. He worked his way thru Columbia University and was graduated in 1383. His eager- ness to know more about light and sound led him to Cambridge University in England. His question unanswered, he moved on to study an experiment under the celebrated and distinguished Professor Hermann Von Helm- holtz at the University of Ber¬ lin. Just prior to his entry to this institution he was awarded, the first to hold, the John Tyn- dall fellowship. He won his de- gree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1889. The same year he married an American girl and rsturned to Columbia as a teacher. He v/as instruetor in mathematical physics at Columbia in 1890; and v/as appointed adjunct professor of mechanics in 1892, becoming professor of electro-mechanics there in 1901. He is a Doctor of Science of Columbia and Prince- ton, and a Doctor of Laws of John-Hopkins University-, New York Univeisity, Muhlenberg College and other institutions. Dr. Pupin is an author of note, he has pubhshed several books, among the most interest- ing are: “Romance of the Ma- chine,” “Machine Industry and Idealism”, “The New Reforma- tion: from Physical to Spiritual Realities”, and “South Slav Mon- uments (Serbian Orthodox Church)”. To many thousands of persons the fascinating and inspiring story of his life has been made known through his hiimitable autobiography “From Immigrant io Inventor.” Many have laid stress on his fine familiarity with the classica cf his native land. Besides a diversified taste in literature, he has a keen appreciation of the best in mušic and art. His benevolent activities have not been confined to his Pro¬ fessional duties, he has always eherislied a great deal of inter¬ est in the welfare of his country. Once, when the newly formed Jugoslav Government needed iocomotives and other transpor- tation eauipment, it asked Pupin to order them here on credit if possible, or if not, by negotiaat- possible, or if not, by negotiat- either loan or credit, Dr. Pupin pledged his own credit for the huge amount, and ordered the Iocomotives. His reverent de- votion to his people led him to establish, in the memory of his mother, the Olimpiad Pupin Foundation thru who.se scholar- ships a poor native boy is being educated. It is further known that Dr. Pupin is a sincere and ardent advocate cf .Panslavism. The pen - sketeh was made when he presided at the Amer. Inst. of Elect. Engrs. Con- vention in Cleveland in May 1926 and is reproduced through the courtesy of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It vividly portrays the physical vigor and the charact- eristic quizzical looking smile of One Stop Service Station WE NEVER CLOSE. \\ HENEVER YOU NEED ANY SERVICE CALL HEnderson 7783 1 OUR LARGE QUARTERS GIVE US AMPLE ROOM FOR PARKING YOUR CAR DURING THE VVINTER MONTHS.
