There is a patch on the elbcw of her dress, her hose are torn beyond mending, and her shoes are shapeless and \vorn. There she is, scuttling do;vn the street, ali alone. Her school- mates shun her, for she has no doli to play with, for she has lost the bloom in her cheeks, and the gay sprightly step of youth. Her lessons pass her, un- heeded. Why should one bother about history, about grammar, and about arithmetic, when pantry shelves are empty, when there are no hose to cover the bony knees, when there are no gloves to warm the freezing hands, and when the wind blows right through the cracks in the house and the dark, tragic forms about her whis-per, strangely, hoarsely, “Wintrr is coming”.

Cleveland Journal “Weekly for American Slovenes” First and only paper for Slovenes in the English Language &2.00 icr a Year Drarnatic Incidents of SLOVENE HISTORV Frank Sodnikar A GRATITUDE FOR HOSPITALlTY Stormy were the days of the fifteenth and six- teenth century for the small Slovene nation. In these times the Slovene showed his courage and strained his iron, bodily strength to the utmost. From the south the cruel enemy of Christianity, the blood-thirsty 'i' Ur ^ was hitting upon the Slovene frontiers. The Slovenes repelled these attacks bravely and patiently bore mes e devastations of their lands. It was during these times, in the year 1578, that the Turks were again planning an attack on the tilo- vene land. The gate-way to ali the Slovene land was the town Kostel and it was only through this town that the Turks could gain entrance to the land. Ko¬ stel, hov/ever, was well fortified. This town was sur- rounded by a large, high wall; this wall would not be penetrated and made the town virtually impregnable, On numerous previous occasions, the Turks had been repulsed here; thus spoiling their entire plans for en. tering the Slovene land. It was this town that they were concerned about. They were certain that if they seized Kostel they would be vietorious over the rest oi Slovenia. For a week the Spitan and his generals had been deliberating on how they could gain entrance into che stubborn town, but without any result. Moreover by now the Sultan was already impatient. He had been prepared to depart oh this expedition long ago, but the lack of a suitable plan, for coming into Kostel, held him back. But he was determined to find a plan. “Make haste and bring my aids before me”, or- dered the Sultan to his slave. Knowing the wrath of the Sultan the generals soon presented themselves. “By Allah are you true sons of Mohammed? For one whole week you have been in deliberation and not yet discovered a plan of entry into that citiy. Will you permit those Christian dogs to stand in the way % of Mohamed? I demand a plan from you today. I will wait no longer.” “As I have told you before, there is but one plan. Have some of us gain admission into the city and then at night we will open the gates- for the rest of you"’, spoke up Miša. “You fool, such a plan would have no success. The Slovenes will at once recognize you on account of your tan skin. You cannot disguise enough to de- ceive them.” “But suppose we hribe some white psople to do it for us,” advised another. “Name some,” demanded the Sultan. “The Uskoki, a degraded people, living close to our border would be vvilling to do anything for money.” “Good. Fetch them.” A few days later found a small tribe of Uskoki fretfuly knocking at the gates of the town Kostel. Ad¬ mission to the town could not be gained for the huge portals were securely bolted. A fore-warning had been received by the inhabitants that the Turks were plan¬ ning an attack on the town, and it was for this reason that they had locked their gates and barricaded them- selves within the walls. “Hear us. Have mercy on us. Please admit us into your city,” pleaded the band in front of the. gates. Upon hearing these shouts the sentinal inside the walls opened a little opening in the door and looked through to see what the disturbance was about. There he beheld a group of from fifty to sixty, men women and children, dressed in typical Croatian fashion; some carrying bundles, others trunks and boxes, while very many more were earrying their most valuable possessions in their hands. And it certainly appeared as thcugh they had hurriedly left their homes. Satisfying himself that the people outside were real- ly refuges and not Turks, the sentinal summoned help and with their assistance the doors to the city were sv/ung open. It was not until the band had entered that the people saw how really impoverished the refuges wer e - Among them were many wounded, while the wnole .band was attired in rags. Upon hearing their story the inhabitant’s sympathy was completely aroused. With tears in his eyes the leader of the band re- lated a sad story. “This group here is ali that remains of a villag e of about four hundred and 6ven we are half maimed and ready to collapse. Last night wheh ali the tu«n was sound asleep, the Turk swooped down upon us and completely devasted the entire village. They went down the road setting fire to every house, driving the villagers. Not a single house, has been left un- harmed. Our whole year’s crops, that were stored i« the barns were destroyed. As they ran through the village they collected our maidens and children &nd took them into their trains. In one hour the villag c (Continued on page four) >iar _ w ,;,*x** * fLEAGUE XEAM standings P.

Too Much Bokar Brothers The Clairwoods sprang the surprise of the day as they ad- ministred a two game licking to the George Washingtons. Prom- inent in the victory was the brother act put on by the Bokar duo. While Ju. Bokar was smash ing out games of 234, 188 and 222 for a high 644 mark, Joe Bokar tried to keep up the fast pace set by Ju. He fell a little short as he ^pilled the sticks for a 610 series of 187, 207 and 216 scores. Although the Cherry Tree Choppers banged a higher total as they shelled the maples for 2941 on 980, 1011 and 950, the Clairwoods went them one bet- ter as they edged out the two game verdict on a total of 2932 that included games of 1049, 911 and 972.

The game starts at 7 o’clock. The boys are in good shape i and should finish high in the final standings. As their drew the Giving the Progressives a scrappy fight ali the way up to the closing minutes of play, the Clairwoods allowed the S.N.P.J. boys to tie the score with but 15 seconds of play left. In the over. time period the Progressives walked away from the S. D. Z. five, chalking up 8 points wnile holding them scoreless. Renner was the star of the tussle, chalk¬ ing up 14 points. Bricel and Kul- win tallied 6 and 5 points respec- tively for the Progressives. Clainvoods Scrap Hard The Clairwoods, a bunch of voungsters pulled the surprise of the evening, as they held their opponents, a supposedly more experienced team to a close race ali through the game. Led by E. Zust, who tallied 11 points, the Clairwoods gave a good account of themselves. Hrovat and Mi- klaus chalked up 5 points apiece Comrades Drub Tree Choppers With Zaletel finding the loo'p for 14 points, the Comrades had an easy time with the George Washingtons. Vic scored 5 buck- ets and four free shots. Martin and Zakrajšek sank two baskets and one foul shot apiece. The Tree Choppers were un. able to pierce tne strong defense of the Comrades and broke awa^' very seldom to score. Richter and Hoffner each tallied four points. The Loyalites, heavy favorites in the Interlodge League came through as expected over the Betsy Ross. Displajing a far more experienced lineup, the Loyalites who have added Špe¬ har and Richman to their al- ready strong roster of Dugoles, Kuhel, Opalich, literally ran away from the Flagmakers. Špehar and Dugoles found the meshes for five double headers and two foul shots for twelve points apiece. Kuhel regioterec! four goals for eight points. Florjančič led the Flag¬ makers with two fieiG shots. Lic- kert and Velitz sank three and two points respectively. to CLAIRWOODS TROUNCE JELERCICS The Ciairwoods continued dorr.inate the race in the league by winning ali 3 games firm the Jelercic Strugglero, Kogoy’s 541 series set the pace j against for the vvinners, wluie Lauric was the best bet for the lošers Ne\vs Christmas Fund Show. For his opponent he has none other than Ernie Schaaf, the Boston blond sailor. Schaff is a protege of and is managed by America’s ieading heavyweight battier, Jack Sharkey. Schaaf is one of the most dangerous men in his class. He rates thhd in his di- vision, Schmelling and Sharkey being the two topnotchers ahead of him. One of the cleverest boxe:s among the heavies, Schaaf has reeently discovered that he car- ries a knockcut punoh. In tlie last few months he has scored seven kayoes over stlff competi- iion winning feurteen of his last frfteen fights. Suppiants Riško In the past Cleveland N ;v/s Christnias fight shcws, it was the endeavor of the promoters to line up lor the main bout, the best neav vweight talent &v- ailable in the city. \nd the role usually fell to Johnny Riško, tire rubber man. But, Riško, wi;c has been on the downway pa;h for the last year, did not get uie call this vear. The signing of Simms fcr this fight show, rates lian ovci* Rako. It is left 1o Simms to show the promoiers, that the failh they have put .'n his fighting rbilities is not wkV out fail. Impressivc on Coast Bouts Simms has re tur ned from ti: e Caliiornia coast where he »vis had a series of fights. The fight critics there have been loud in their praise of his fighting p rav- ess. It was probably this ree- orcl that gave him the call ove; Riško in the coming battle. Fr. Simms is i o.ed for his har-i pimehing abiiities, his righi band bloivs have won him fairc thruout the entire ring cicch'. Many boxers have lefused to meet h ; m in the squared ring because of his dynamic punch. This is Simms’ big chance. A victory over Schaaf wlll put him high in the fisticuffs circle, venile a loss will not harm his prest: ge as Schaaf is recognized to be far above him. Strong Supporting Card Tne heavyweight bout will not be the only drawing feature, for the supporting bouts are top¬ notchers themselves. Paul Pir- rone, rising welterweight, v/ill meet Lou Brouillard the Cham¬ pion in that class. Johnny Farr a j engages Santiago Zorilla, Billy Wallace tangles with Frankit Borjoski, Patsy Perroni goes up Adolph Heuser wliile Frankie Wallace bangs away with Sammy Saber. favorites of the evening for theii rooters almost brought the roof down with their cheers while tht. Sokols received their customary applause. Sokols Draw First Blood The Sokols opened their drive by scoring the first basket, as Brezovar tossed in a neat shot from the sidelines. Playing a fast floor game, the Masks tied the count. Battling away on even terms for the first quarter found both clubs deadlocked on a 6 and 6 count. In the second period the Masks led by 0’siecki pulled away from the Gymnasts and held a 10 to 9 lead at the end of the first half. Doijack on Scoring Spree The beginning of the second half found Whitey Doijack, for- me r St. Ann star, doing ali the Tcoring for the Masks. Eiudirig her guards by breaking awaj fast or dribbling through the en¬ tire Sokol lineup and then shoot - ing from any angle of the floor, she tallied six points in the Jasi half. Her total for the evening was ten markers, which always came at a time when both teams were in a tie score. As- sisting greatly in the last period was Fouts, who contributed two buckets. 0’sieki rang up iour markers while Arthur sank three foul shots. With Doijack in their lineup the Masks will go a long way, for “Whitey” has that knack of shooting that enables her to tally from any part of tlie floor. Sokols Erratic The beginning of the seccnd half found the Sokols unable to keep up with the fast pace set by the Masks. Erratic passing, fumbling of the bali, failure to guard their man and a loss of getting rid of the bali found the Sokols displaying none of that snappy teamwork that carried them to the title last season. Slapar and Knaus scored five and four points respectively. The guarding of Gasparič and Klopec was the outstanding iea- ture of the Sokol’s play. Tlie Progressives handed the George \Vashington lassies their first game in three years of play. Holding a two point lead the S. N. P. J. girls allowed one of the Chopperettes to remain in the game after she had four person- al fouls called on her. The loss of the player would have left the G. W.’s with only four players, but the Progressives’ coach let his good sportsmanship get the best of him and he allowed the player to remain in the game. He did this on two occasions, But the Washingtons took ad- vantage of this and gave the S. N. P. J. girls a better fight than was expected of them. Gqing into the last minute of play found the Chopperettes in command of a 11 to 9 lead. Zelle raised the hopes of the Euclid lassies as she tied the score with but 15 seconds of play left. But in the overtime period Jaklič, star of the evening’s tussle, add¬ ed three points to her other eight, which proved to be the margin of victory. t Jaklič Scintillates in First Wii! Diminutive Jaklič, a fighting member of Washington’s defeat- ed two year team, led her girl to the 14 to 11 victory. She was the brilliant forward who gave the G. W.’s their first win. Kre. bel scored two markers. Zelle’s Work in Vain Zelle tallied seven counters for the losers and they proved to be of no avail. She also rang up the first basket in the evening’s play. Sezon chalked up four markers, one of her fouls being the first point scored. Flashes Swamp Comrades Displaying a strong roster both of regulars and substitutes, the Flashes found no trouble with the Comrades coming out on the long end of a 20 to 5 score. The Comrades made a game of it in the first ftalf but. the Flashes outdistanced them rn the last periods as they chalk- ed up 13 markers. Every mem¬ ber of the Flashes got into the game and only two failed to score. Steiss led the Flashes with six points, while Malovrh tallied four. Pete and J. Laurich netted three markers apiece. The Comrades scored the first basket in the game but could not keep up with the Flashes and were left far behind. Snider tal¬ lied the bucket while Stanovnik, and Bruchneckter chalked up iwo and one markers each.

GERBEC-^- MISS PLEVNIK MEETS NOTED WRtTER The Food We Eat Most of the States h'ave passea Pure Food Laws requiring that there be an itemizing on the boxes or lataels of jars and cans of the kind and quantity of prc- servatives used. It seems, though, that most of the people either do not under- stand what the labels State or else they are not aware of the poison contained in some of the Chemicals used as preservaties. Safe Preservatives The best preservatives known to man are salt, sugar, vinegar and spices.. These are harmless and are easily absorbed by the body system. Food that is care- fully canned is not harmful, but canned foods that have been carelessly prepared or which contain bacteria which is injur- ious. Adulterants Even the best of foods, once exposed to air and warmth, is bound to decay. Manufacturers, 'however, have found that cer- tain Chemicals such as alum, salicylic acid, benzoate of soda, boric acid and sulphurous acid preserve the likeness of the food. We may readily notice that when home-made ketchup is exposed even for a short time, it sours, but adulterated ketchup will re- ’ main seemingly j ust as fresh for some time. N ewly'weds GARAPIC - KAUSEK NUPTIALS This does not mean that the latter is equal in food value. Tne bacteria is bound to continue in its devastating work regardless of the appearance of the food. Dangerous preservatives will keep the food looking fresh, but will interfere with the appetite and digestion of the individual. The reason that some of the dangerous preservatives have been legalized is because t he firms claim that the harm m the Chemicals used is compara- tively small. Nevertheless, the poisonous preservatives take their toll, and the best way to keep the body in proper shape is ■;o give it pure unadulterated fuel, however meagre it may be.

Moreover, the Slovene emigrants do not trouble to con¬ tinue to enlarge their knohvedge of Slovene books, and when they return for a visit, they do not know any more about them then when they left.” “Nevertheless he held a keen regard and interest in the Slo vene schools, and continuallv praised the great vrark of the leaders upholding these institu- tions,” she notes.
