This year the dry condi- tions are helping to make. the total bili in forest fires reach jjjg g ra nd total of more than «16,000,000 in the Central At¬ lantic and the New England States alone. According to Will- j affl F. Steffins, Tire protection engineer of the New York Cen¬ tral this is about twice the „ormal amount. Steffins claims tliat 90 percent of the fires are started by cigarette butts. As a proof of this he offers the testimony that most of the fires are started near large cities. Another source of the cigarette butt tlanger is the airplane. The \'avy Department has forbidden its flyers to throw cigarette butts overboard. S.S.C.U.

To those \vho have had no confidence in the wisdom that the youth of the Union the Con¬ ference gave a decisive answer that they can be trusted and that they are interested_very much interested in fact_in the doings of the Union and the sol- ution of a very weighty prob¬ lem. Athletics was the main topič of the 2 day conference and the delegates with their sleeves roll- ed up they worked thru two very hot sessions to formulate a very definite policy that is_ to be fol- lowed in the future in athletic circles of the Union.

Upon their return they vvill reside in an apartment on Lake Shore Boulevard. Accept our hearty congratu- lations! There are occasions in a per- son’s life that are very solemn and there are others which make one very proud. The later kind of occasion came into the life of Mr. Frank Suhadolnik, 6107 St. Clair avenue for a long time a shoe dealer on St. Clair avenue vvhen he was informed that he vvas avvarded the first plače in the city-wide gardens contest vvhich was conducted by the Cle¬ veland Plain Dealer. Though Mr. Frank Suhadolnik is very proud of the garden vvhich surrounds his residence on Chardon Road he is stili proud- er of his two boys vvho have in reality done everything to make the first prize possible. Early last spring Victor Suhadolnik and Frank son of the shoe merchant have decided to enter the contest that vvas announced by the Plain Dealer and have a real trial at the prizes. They knew something about gardens and how they must be kept hav- ing gained the practical exper- ience from the contest in vvhich they succeeded in getting the first prize for their district. Early in spring, last vvinter to be accurate, the two~ boys dreamt of the garden that they vvould create and the things that vvould go into it to make it a prize vvinning garden. They have dravvn their plans and drafted ali sorts of schemes and this spring and summer they have tried them seconded by their father’s approval to be avvarded the first prize in the city-wide competition. . Natural Key of Garden The charm of the garden lies in the naturalness of the layout not so much in the number of flovvers or the many varieties. Though the garden is built step by step and many long hours have been put in to make the effect is j ust as natural as if one vvalked into a beautiful na¬ ture spot. Nothing is overdone and yet nothing is left out that is not needed. Even the pool vvhich has been built during the last summer has the effect that it happened in nature. That is the taste the builders have put into their work. But building is not the hardest part of the make-up of the garden as the boys, Victor and Frank express it: It is not making the garden it’s keeping it up that counts. And there is the real reason for the success of the garden and the reason why it was given the first avvard. Anncamcement Brings Many Visitors The 12th city garden district had several more contestants vvho were .also very ^serious in maintaining a good garden.

It is always difficult to say farevvell to the things that vve love vvell and to the persons that have made us happy by their associations or have brightened up our lives by their accomplish- ment, yet that is the prospect that faces the mušic lovers in Cleveland vvhen they hear that Svetozar Banovec, the Ljubljana Opera tenor is about to leave them after his stay among them for the past year. People vvho vvere thrilled by his voice on the occasions of his concerts in and about Cleveland or on the radio programs vvill be sorry to hear that Mr. Banovec is about to leave. But the leave - taking vvill not be as hard to bear'vvhen it is announced that as a farevvell he vvill sing Ihis farevvell concert at the Slovene National Home on St. Clair Avenue next Sunday, September 21.

NIELLO DANCE SPARTAN SEASON OPENER If one should look up the dic- tionary and find the vvord “niel- lo” he vvould find that it means that they are ancient decc-ra- tions vvorked in vvhite and black. That is the scheme that the Spartans are, trying out for their dance vvhich vvili.-be held on Saturday, September 27 at the Slovene Home ori St. Clair Avenue. Just what the Niello has to do vvith the vvhole scheme the committee is silent about but they say that one must come to the dance to see vvhat can be done and vvhat that me-ans. They are sure that everyone vvill get some surprises plus a very en- joyable evening of dancing vvith the Jack Horvvitz and his Colle- gian orchestra.

They vvho came vvith smiles vvere the wise ones for they knevv the teachers the c. >rs and there vvas a good number of them vvho vvere timid had no acquaintance vvith the teachers and in spite of the encouragement of the okl- er ones vvere timid but before long they too vvould be brave and courageous. They vvill soon find that there is nothing to fear from the teacheri? of the Slo¬ vene school, junior division. Junior Division Enrolls 120 Last Saturday vvas the en¬ rollment date for the Slovene school, junior division. When the end of the long lines came and a final check and count vvas made it vvas found that 120 pu¬ pils enrolled for the new session of that division. Approximate~ ly there vvere 50 nevv pupils and the rest of the numbers consist- ed of those vvho vvere there last year vvith a strong possibility that many of the remaining vvho did not register but attended school last year vvill report for school vvhen actual classes be¬ gin. But even at the present the prospect of 50 nevv pupils and so many of the old return- ing it vvill be a banner year for the junior division. The classes vvill begin next Saturday, Sep¬ tember 20. Registration in Senior Division Friday The encouraging numbers of the enrollment in the junior di¬ vision may be an index of the numbers in the senior division vvhose registration date is set for Friday evening, September 19 at 7:00 P. M. It is encouraging to knovv that some of the Slovene young men and vvomen on the avenue and in other distri-cts have made in- quiries concerning the school and their talk is direeted to in- tentions of entering the school in the newly organized classes for the coming vvinter. It ap- pears that there vvill be a sub- stantial inerease in the numbers in the senior division during the coming semester.

The Slovene youth can be trusted in their answer to the situation even if there is not much advance intention of attending expressed. We feel sure that that answer will be the finest and the best year that the Slovene sehool has had in the course of its existence. JLEVELAND, OHIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th, 1930 Slovene Sehool Lx Libris Conducted by the St. Clair Branch Public Library. To those of our readers who'covered that Hitty had merely Much has been said and much has been written about the Slovene sehool in the past months but now that the sehool is about to open there is the natural curiosity of knoiving whether there will be a whole hearted response to the \vork and the preparations of the Slovene Home Sehool Board to make this the banner year of the Slovene sehool exištence and the harbinger of banner years in the fufeure. There are a few who will sa!y and mean that the “Slo¬ vene sehool is alright but I haven’t the time to devote to it”. That attitude in looking on the sehool is a confession tha,t the Slovene youth knows that it shouid study Slovene in the sehool but it will not do it if it means any sacrifice of effort to acquire the language. It is also a confession that they who say it are not sufficiently informed of the things that the Slovene did and are accomplishing here and in Europe to make them proud of the accomplish- ments of the Slovenes. That every admission of the un- willingness to come is an added argument that they now more than ever shouid come. That is the purpose of the sehool to learn the language and while learning the lan¬ guage some facts of the people to whom the language be- longs will have been learned. Further there can be no real excuse that the sehool is too far advanced that the instructions cannot be follow- ed. This year’s sehool is arranged so that everyone will find a niche in which they can find work suitable to their advancement in Slovene. Even they who complete ig¬ norance of the language will find the best opportunity of studying the language from the very fundamentals and going thru to ali the higher phrases of languages study to learn style and literature.

Miss Field, the author of “Hit- ty, Her first hundred years,” aeted as Hitty’s escort.

Pictures were taken of the meeting and we hope to have them in Cleve¬ land some time hiter. They will have the unique distinction of being the first movie-talkie tak¬ en in the air. being limited in size, Hitty was limited in her motions. She had only two, the motion of stand- ing up and sitting down. Her expression was also limited _ limited to a smile. Her manner of speech was a matter for ser ious consideration, but was fin¬ ali found to be happy cross be- tween the sentiment of a si.m- pler and the language of a farm- er’s almanac. To those who have not already made the acqusintance of Hitty we will be glad to introduce her through her book. Adults, as well as younger readers, will find her a most intriguing personal- ity. It is common knov/ledge that on rainy days retailers of urn- brellas and rubbers display and inerease sales of these goods- The actual occurrence of rain or stormy conditions often is too late to make a display along these lines. The time to advertise articles in keeping with the weather is to do is j ust before the weather arrives. Forecasts, through their nature, have to assume certain qualifications. Many will reason that it is not wise to take a chance on the “possible” fore- čast of the weather man. On the other hand, when tha forecast is positive, the risk, if risk it is, surely is worthwhile, In the event of failure, the puh¬ lic can be depended on to quick- ly forget the occurrence. How this system has operated j to the benefit of one large Chi- I cago department store may be j tbld in brief manner. Copies of the day*s \veather forecasts are delivered to ali members of the firm and adver- tising and merchandising exec- utives for consideration in the sc-heduling of advertising for the following day.

Several points are of benefit considering this system.

Asicle from the cultural at- tainments of knowing another language from a scientific standpoint there is the very practical viewpoint of know- i'ng another language which may mean additional com-* mercial advantage and inerease in position in the com- munity. The onening of the sehool ‘next Frida v will be the the “lovable, wise faced, little six and a half inches of wood,” as she called her.

Reviews in house organs and statements in the daily press re- garding fluctuations in retail trade have impressed upon the retailer, declares the article, that vveather conditions must not be ignored if success in business is te be looked for. Weath : er is cemmcniy thought higher health level for employees is maintained, cutting down lost time, employees work with more rapidity and enthusiasm if their senses are kept clear by fresh and correctly temperatured air, and customers shop more leis- urely and are not as easily irri- tated as when the air is polluted and as dry as the Sahara. When the temperature and humidity of the air is properly controlled it has been demon- strated that the inereased sales more than offset the cost and maintenance of the necessary apparatus. In small retail stores the am- ount of business and nuniber of shoppers possibly would never pay for the machinery, but marked results can easily be ob- tained by watching the temper¬ ature and regulating doors, win- dows and transoms. No argument is neededTo sup- port the assertion that pleasant working and shopping conditions benefit both employer and em- ployed. If a store manager is alert to his opportunities he will lose no time in carefullv analyzing the opportunities before him by way likely to be ignored as atccolor.

Modern machinery makes it possible for a merchant to “make his own.weather.” The two most important elements entered into are temperature and humidity.

That Fifth Inning Tony O. was stili working s moothly beginning of the fifth trame. Grzabowski whiffed and j 0 hnny Pekol grounded out, making two down. A. Kuhel bouneed a single off Orazem’s naI1 d and H. Grzabowslči sock- ed a liner into right field, Kuhe] going to third and Hank to sec- ond on the relay.

Marinko who did not fare so well at the bat so far came through with a nifty double and scored on J. Branceks single. Joe Zakrajšek grounded out for the final down. Orazem was touched for five hits. Two coming in the fifth when the winners scored three runs and two in the seventh when they scored another maric- er. He whiffed eleven.

HOW ABOUT LAKE SHORES! Here’s a libtle outfit ve have been interested in since the be- ginning of the baseball season. ffe’ve lauded them when they won and chided them when they lost. Since the elimination series began we anxiouly scan- ned the box score to see if they liad won. And it was with great pleasure each time so far that we wrote of their successes upon the bali field. But in one instance for some reason or an¬ other the Lake Shore account of the game did not appear on the Journal Šport Page. We’ll let you tune in on wbat the manager and coach Safron and Udovich have to say about that instance. “Say what the he... can’t we Set a break on your page any- more.

Score cards showing the names of the players in the order of their appearance at the plate will be distri- buted free to ali the bali fans. The score cards are be¬ ing issued through the courtesy of Gornik Haber- dashery and the Cleveland Journal. Ponikvar was one of the seven, finishing third. He drove a special Miller-Chev- rolet type machine and averaged sixty-three miles an hout over a period of two hours and six- teen minutes. He had engine trouble and had to drive into the pit for repairs. In doing this he fell behind seventeen laps. At a later period two locker arms snapped and he again lost six more laps. But in spite of the handicaps h e accelerated his. motor car to eighty mil^s per hour over the greater part of the distance; and with other speedsters falling hy the way- side, or being smashed, he man- aged to puli up until ’he came witbin five laps of the winner This is Anton’s third year on the speethvav. He has raded ih the for.owing cities where he finished close to the top in each instance: Akron, second, Dayton third, New Washington, third, Wheeling, West Virgina, third, Cadiz, third, Columbus, fourth. Ponikvar was also permitted to test his little speed car at Atlantic City (non-competitive) where he attained the marvel- lous speed of one hundred eight- een miles an hours. He explain- ed the difference in the speed betvveen North Randall and At¬ lantic City in the fact that the former is a dirt track while the latter has a wood flooring ovei the entire distance. Has Close Call He has. never.been hurt tvhile in action. However, he had a very narrow escape two years ago- There were seven motor cars jammed in the road of the race track and in order to evade a : head on collision which would mean certain death, he swerved away, drove up the embankment into a fence, smashed his car, but miraculously escaped injury. Ponikvar is twenty - three years old, weighing one hundred seventeen pounds. He formerly played baseball with St. Law- rence in class “C”, and also pei'- lormed quite capably for the Zahlers football team in the Lightweight Division. runs to two for the losing out¬ fit. Tony Kubilus opened the first inning by drawing a pass. Took second on Habians sacrifice fly, went to third on an infield out and scored on a wild pitch. Snag began the third frame by smacking a terrific drive along right field for three bases. On J. Kickels tap Snag made an attempt for home, but was chased back and arrived safe at third with Kickel taking first. Snag scored on Brauer’s out and Kickel pulled up at third where he scored on T. Kubilus smash¬ ing double to left. Ed. Kovačič singled to left in the fourth. E. Yerse singled scoring Kovačič and then Scuf- ca double:! to bring in Ed Yerse vil h -the fifth tallv -of the frav. Another tally was chalked up in the seventh when G. Austin singled to right, but was forced at second by Ed Yerse who took second on a passed bali and scored on J. KickeFs smash for two bases along left field. The final stanza found the Habmen stili trying, and they did manage to produce three more runs. ' Ed Kovačič hit a two bagger. G. Austin walked Ed Yerse singled scoring Kova¬ čič. Scufca doubled tallying two more runs. Brauer was in great form and should have been credited with •a' shutout victory, only that his mates displayed some erratic fielding. J. Kickel as usual c-aught a bang-up game. Anastasia — I caught my husband kissing the maid the other day. Anuthema — Well, what did you do about it? Anastasia — I made him buy me an expensive gown.

BRAZIS ARE NO MORE The Brazis Bros. may contku ue vitli their tailoring business, but as far as their team is con- c-erned they’re through. The bali team has von some sur- prising vietories the past fev Sundays-’ High liopes were held for them to finish in the finals. But that’s the vay it is vith ali tough teams, vhen two such tough teams meet one drops. That is vhy the Tinnerman Stoves hung it on the Brazis Sunday, by a score of 10 - 5. / SOKOLS ENTER INTERLODGE The Sokols are taking no chances on being left out of the Interlodge loop. Last year they aeted too late and eould not enter. How- ever, the gymnasts lost no time in joining the circuit this year. Johnny Marin¬ čič and Joe Rupnik, lead- ing Sokol bowl e rs are rarin’ to go and have their team ali set. Besides the Sokols, the Gomrades have already sig- nified their intentions of reentering the loop. Who’s next? On Sunday afternoon Septem¬ ber 21, 1930 the Pioneers vili meet the Champion Etna, Pa. mushball team in a battle for the soft bali Championship of the Croatian Fraternal Union. The game vili be played at Gordon Park, diamond No. 1 at 3:30 P. M. and promises to be a real battle for supremacy. The Etna team, eonsidered as a dark horse and vith barely an out- side chance came through in the closing days of the race to cop the championship of the C. F. U. Pittsburgh league. Tliey defeated their closest rivals the “Spirits” of McKees Rocks vory handily 6-0 vhile the Piopeers eould only get a 1 0 ver diet over the same team in a recent game there. The Pioneers feel confident of victory though be- cause of the fact that Frankie Makovic, C!eveland’s premier soft bali pitcher is slated to do the pitching. The game vili be played under Cleveland softball rules and the advantage there, though very slight, vili go to the Pioneers. Many visitors are expected from the Pittsburgh district and from other parts of the country. As a preliminary ta.the big game there vili be a hard bali tilt betv/een the Kovač, Sokols and the 'Pioneer j Juniors ‘vho are first and second in the Btahding in the Cleveland C. F. U. Junior league. This too vili be interesting to vatch. The teams are composed of young boys from 12-to-15 years of age. In the evening a reception vili be held for the visitors in the levver hali of the Slovene Audi- toriurn vhich vili be folloved with dancing for ali. Tvo lads vho are going to begin devoting their time to studies and their respective atL letic ambitions are Eddie Kova¬ čič of the Gornik Hab. Majors and former Majestic Radio sec¬ ond sacker, and Ralph Martin (Antončič), amateur velter- veight boxer. Eddie has been in the foot¬ ball training camp of the BluO Streaks for the past three weeks vhere he has been vorking hard to vin a berth vith the regu- lars. John Carrol vili open its first grid game vith the Quantico Marines at Luna Park, Friday night at 8:15. Ralph Martin has been on a sales drive during the past tvo months in various “jerk water” tovns and is back again, happy to meet his friends. He is start- ing his senior year at Caroll University. Ralph vili soon be¬ gin training for a busy fistic season, SDZ. vs. SNPJ. Tilt - Simday ——o- S. Y. M. Club and LOYALITES to Battle for Interlodge Title at Gordon Park Tvo large organizations, S. D. Z. and S. N. P. J. vili be repre- sented by their best and most capable players in a bali game at Gordon Park No. 6 Sunday, be¬ ginning at 3:00 P. M. The Loy- alites are the S. N. P. J. stand¬ ard bearers, vhile the almost in- vineible Slovenian Young Men’s Club is representing the S- D. Z. organization. Sunday’s skirmish will be the first of a three gasme series to decide the vinner of the Inter Lodge Loop. Othr clubs vho composed the circuit and have been eliminated are the Orels, Geo. Washingtons, Collinvood Boosterls, . Spartans, Pioneers, Comrades and Progressives. The S. N. P. J. brigade has lost fever games during the season than has the S. D. Z. ag- gregaticn. The former has Mso von the National S- N. P. J. title for tvo years, but this sea¬ son, hovever, has dropped a very close verdict to the Stalvarts at Wa.ukegan in the finals. The Slovenian Young Men’s Club, although finishing belov the Loyalites in first round of play in percentage standing, managed to defeat the Loyalites in their previous meeting. The margin vas not sufficiently vide shou-gh to varsant anyone’s bet- ting any great odds on the Young Men to repeat in their championship series. Indoor games invariably de- pend upon the phetierelo-se -. pend upon the pitcher. If he holds the opposition in check, his team sails along smoothly and sooner or later breaks thru vith a couple runs to vin the game. And that is vhy Frank Yerse, hurler for the Young Men and his opposing mounds- man, Iggie Jeray, vili have the spotlight thrust upon them dur¬ ing the championship drive. Yerse has been pitching great bali this-year, being one of the select to burn in a no hit game vhile pitching in the S. D. Z. league. Jeray has also been turning some neat performance. In fact, not so long ago, in pitch¬ ing against the majority of the S. Y. M. C. players in another league, he made them, to use the vernacular, “look sick.” Their batterymates, too, should come in for some share of recognition “Chuck Tiger Flovers” Slapnik, the midget vith the “lily vhite” pants, vili handle the shoots of Yerse. Hank Grzabovski, the lad vho is responsible for the crovd of feminine admirers clustering around home plate, vili catch the tvists of Jeray. Max Sodja, Loyalite pitching ace, left for the Semi.nary last Thursday. This puts the en¬ tire championship hopes upon Jeray’s shoulders. Both clubs have a veli bal- anced infield and both boast of hard 'hitters, with the S. Y. M. C. probably holding a slight edge. There is this much to Loyal- ites chances, and ve think the argument presented is sound enough. T'hey have been batting against Yerse on numerous oc- easions and it may come to pass that they vili solve his peculiar twists. On the other hand “Ig¬ gie” Jeray is no slouch, vith the support that his team is capable Of giving him, it is certain that a very close game should be the result. EAGLES ROUT' FARAHS TRIMO” MARSH TAKEN FOR RIDE The Cleveland Eagles who vere put into second division by the Gornik Habs vere destined to be eliminated altogether vhen they met up vith the Farahs’ Sports. And if it hadn’t been for a belated špirit in the closing innings, the boys would after Sunday’s game be permitted to sleep until noon, for it vould have spelled finis for the balance of the season. But they man¬ aged to rally and vin out against t'he pitching of Mako¬ vic and Connors and nov have only the Favorite Knits to dis- pose of before fighting the Gor¬ nik Habs for the neighborhood and major league title. HOW ABOUT VALLEY VIEW? In looking over the box scores of the various games played on Sunday, ve missed the account of the Valley Viev game. Not that the game itself is of such great interest to' us. It is that long endurance pace being set by Frank Mervar that we’re inter¬ ested in. Of course, ve realize score- keepers are easily vaylaid. Dur¬ ing these days of “long rides” and scandal, anything might happen. MAN SODJA The members of the In- teflodge vili certainly miss Mas Sodja. In spite of his huge size and great rec- ord as a good bal player he vas never knovn to bully anyone or boast of bis proVess in baseball. Max vas a quiet and likeable chap and ve knov that his absence from the athletic field vili be gi - eatly missed. Max vho is a John Car- roll University graduate entered the seminary last Thursday. Our beloved “Primo Carnera” Marsh bas been taken fona ride. His ma,ny filends certainly will miss the hearty laugh of the red faced two hundred pound third sacker. However, he has no one else to blame but him- self. For instance, he practically won the first game of the cham¬ pionship for the Rotbarts single handed. And Sunday he smack- ecl out a double and single. Ali this had to do with the copping of the class “A” championship for the Rotbarts and means that Primo vili leave vith the cham¬ pions to Cincinnati to play for the N. B. F. title against visit- ing teams throughout the coun- try. The Cleveland Amateur Base¬ ball Association is sponsoring the “ride” for Marsh and the rest of the Rotbart črev to Cin¬ cinnati. Before Marsh left he advised that ali his mail be forvarded to the Cleveland Journal. S. D. Z. STANDINGS PIRATE DANCE given by S. S. CLUB No. 2. S. D. Z .

The course will begin with the alphabet and continue thru to the simplest reading and vvriting. Another advan- tage of this course as well as with the other courses is that while the year is divided into three semesters at the end of each of vvhich the pupils may withdraw if they do not čare to continue. The second and more advanced course will begin vvith slightly harder matter and develop a high quality of read and writing ability so that one will be able to communicate with people’ who really knovv the language. The third course bas been called the “Literature Study Course” in vvhich tvpfts of Slovene litera tpre will be studied as well as the style.. The aim of this course is to find the important things in literature for self en- joyment as vvell as to develop an interesting Slovene style for one’s self. Teachers Anxious to Start The courses vvill be in the hands of cap able teachers so that the guarantee of success with the students is almost as- sured provided that they are vvilling to come regularly and follovv the simplified instruc- tions of the teachers.

WATCH YOUR MAILI It is about time to start think- ing of Christmas gifts that vvill be sent avvay and the best kind of reminder for correct addres- sing are the figures given by the Post Office department in Washington. The Dead Letter Office received 23,000,000 let- ters last year and vvas able to return only 3,800,000 letters at the rate of three cents fee. The rest vvere destroyed pr.omptly unless they had valuable con- tents.

It also reports that MILLIONS of post Coupled vvith thisjoards come into the office anc are destroyed. The government does not suffer from the people’s carelessness because the return fee and the auction covers up the expenses.

Which might make some people ask vvhat is the differ- ence. A bali game is a bali game vvhether it is a vvorld series or an early season game. Hovvever, to a real dyed in the vvool fan it makes a great difference. The prize.^honor and glory for vvhich the plavers battle are in themselves an in- spiration to outdo any and ali past performances. Add to this the excitability of the vast throng; a Ruthian homer, spark- ling catches; the extreme čare of the bali grounds; phoney _ stories about a star player being crippled; guesses and predip- tions on the outeome of the game and you have some idea of the tenseness vvhich prevails over a vvorld series game.
