G. A. Studdert Kennedy during the World War. The chaplain al- |ways ihad his pockets stuffed J,^ vvith the cheap cigarettes known as Woodbines which served to steady the nerves of the boys in the trenches. In spite of the fact that the padre was badly gassed he carried on for three and a ihalf years and distributed about 5000 packets of the cigar ettes a vveek. Now he is clead and his memory will live longer than the names of some of the generals vvho partook in the world stri%!. # It was an important and a great meeting that the Sokol groups had in Chicago last week when representatlves of the var- ious Slavonic groups gathered to make preparations for the coming Chicago International Exposition that vvill be held there next year. The representatives of ali the Sokol groups were in Chicago to discuss the coming event and to become acquainted with the extent of the Sokol organization in the United States. The meet¬ ing vvas really a two part affair in which the Jugosiav Sokols met separately and vvhen that vvas over the general meeting of ail the Sokol groups vvas inau- gurated. In the meeting of the Jugosiav group representatives of the Sokol groups from Cleve¬ land, New York, Detroit, Chic¬ ago, Milvvaukee, Waukegan, St. Louis and from the State of Cal- ifornia were present. In the evening,. after the afternoon session, tihe Sokol representa¬ tives of the Czech and the Po- lish Sokol groups were present at the banquet that ali the So¬ kol representatives partook. Get Ready for Chicago The meeting vvas called to make preparations for an ar- rangement to have a Slavonic day at the Chicago International Exposition whidh is to be held in Chicago next year. What pre¬ parations are necessary had been decided and also acted on so as to make the event a real event in the history of Slavs in America. Mr. Rogelj Furnishes Thrill At the banquet in the eve¬ ning the representatives of the Czech and the Polish Sokols ad~ vocated a union of ali the Sokol groups in the United States into a Sokol Union an expansion of the idea that is even now in force among the Sokol groups on the Pacific coast. At the banquet in the evening the greatest thrill vvas given by the address that Mr. Janko N.

It is vvith the purpose that the new students of the school get acquainted with the fact that there is some fun in a seri- ous group of students who at- tend the school that the party vvill take plače. The program for the evening though not of a formal charac- ter vvill include ali those things vvhich are generally included in a party and intended to produce a lot of fun and a good time. The eommittee on arrangements is busy digging up new games that will be a novelty in the line of entertainment and make the evening a worth while mem- qry in the,social program of the school.

Cleveland, Ohio is no more cosmopolitan city (than many other cities in the I nited States and it does not ha ,r e any more nationalities than many of the other cities in the United States but there is one difference in the city of Cleveland and the other cities in the fact that Cle¬ veland is concious of the pos- sibilities those nationalities have in them to make Cleveland a city very vvorth vvhile to live in. The nevvspapers of the city, the var- ious grbups and laatly the city of Cleveland as a political unit recognition, when it offered the various groups the use of plots of ground in Rockefeller Park to be converted in gardens or shrines dedicated to the na¬ tionalities themselves. Thus the Slovenes have been offered the use of a plot some two and a half acres that is to be decora- ted in such a manner as to re¬ flect the character of the Slo¬ venes. Other nationalities ihave been given the offer and they vvill have an opportunity of using their portions of the city’s park to make their ovvn land a char- acteristic spot that vvill reflect their national characteristics. The idea proposed is not a nevv idea for it vvas entertained by the city officials for some time and became knovvn only last vveek when Mr. Nevv- comb of tihe Parks Division call¬ ed a meeting of the representa¬ tives of the nationalities of the city and proposed the idea to them. Plan and the maps of the proposed Nationalities rovv has been outlined by the director for the use as they vvish. The vvhole is layed in the great nation groups. The Slavs vvill have their land together so that they vvill form one group and the others vvill be grouped in a similar manner so that nation¬ alities that belong to one group vvill be together. The Slovenes vvill very probably take advan- tage of the offer and to this end they have called a meeting of ali people vvho are interested, vvhich vvill be held at the Slo¬ vene auditorium tonight. The Jevvish people have start- ed a similar idea some time ago and they have attracted some attention.

It is novv twenty years since a sm-all group of men and woi(i- ■ en came together to lay plans for an organization that has be¬ come a povver among the Slo¬ venes in Cleveland and in the State of Olhio. It vvas only those of the highest hopes vvho considered the project to reach the proportions that it has reacihed today and novv the S.D. Z. has gained in numbers and in povver so that it is ranked among the leaders in fraternai organiations in Cleveland and in Ohio. A tvventieth anniversary comes only once in twenty years and it is therefore an important event that vvill be fitting the members of the Slovene Benefit Association consider it very im¬ portant event in their history and they intend to make it an event that vvill be fitting the occasion. For that purpose they have arranged a celebration that vvill be remembered for a long time by ali the members of ali the lodges of the organiation. As a day fitting to celebrate such an important event the S. D. Z. has chosen Sunday, March 2, to hold a very ambi- tous and unusual program in the afternoon and the evening in vvhich manv interesting features vvill be held. In the afternoon the program vvill consist of a initiation and the evening vvill be open to amusements of ali kinds. The initiation in the afternoon vvill be held for those vvho have been accepted from the j unior division into the senior division. For the occasion the initiation ceremonies vvill have a special rit ual that has been originated for that purpose. Of vvhat it eon- sists, is knovvn only to the ini- tiating team vvho vvill officiate on Sunday afternoon. It is cer¬ tain that the ever impressive Honor GuaJrd vvill be present and give the ceremonial a dig- nity that it alone can give on those oceasions, Besides the initiation there vvill be special speeches, planned for the occa¬ sion of the initiation and the celebration of the Tvventieth An- niversary. In the evening the upper and the lovver halls vvill be busv vvith tvvirling feet and the air vvill bear the melodies of tvvo orchestras that vvill per¬ form in the tvvo halls. It vvill be a gala time for the 10,000 members vvho belong to the Association in their pro¬ gram next Sunday afternoon and evening. Of course it is not expected that ali the ten thou- sand vvill be present for the oc¬ casion but it is certain that those vvho vvill attend vvill have an abundance of material to teli their less „ fortunate friends about it for a long -time to come.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, THURSD AY, FEBRUARY 2 7th, 1930 Heroes and Hero W^oa*sliip No man’s life is 'so small or so unimportant that it ^vouicl not affect others and there is no man who in his own manner would not affect those with whom he comes into contact. Thus the whole worid becomes a complex- ity in which the humbles and the most powerful exert a manifold influence on others. Every man is a hero to another and though there is no statecl formula for the kind of man who is chosen as a standard and a model of imitation yet every one no matter how potverful he may be or how humble he may be contributes his own share to the happiness, to the comfort or to the satisfaction that is evident and which is felt throughout the world. Of course blind imitation and a making of some certain person a demigod is a foolish principle for there is no singie person who contains ali those quaiities tliat are worthy of imitation or even if they could they would not fit into the life because of difference of phy- sical make-up the difference in the temperment. It is absurd to think that some popular hero is the acme of ali that is good and worth the imitation. People who are aping and mimicing some popular person as the acme of ali that they should be have a wrong understanding of the idea Heroes and ero Worship. In fact, it may be statecl that an impulsive imitation and the simulating of some one else is a clear expression of lack oi something in their own makeup that is clenied expression. One who follows the example of another and makes no initial move of his own has the false impression of leadership and the wrong view of the principles that are involved in imitation. While it is true that people will follow and imitate the actions of others it is not universally true that every one is a slavish imitator of the qualities of others. If the truth were spoken every one has a model of his own creation set out for himself whieh does not consist of any singie person but a complex combination of persons who have ali the oualities that make an ideal personage. Usually the person in the ideal is a composlte, an alloy of the most interesting people one knows and which de- fies description. The use of heroes in our own life need not be de- grading and it usually is not but it acts as stimulant and an incentive to better action and to vvhen the goal has finally been reached a new and better model may be chosen or composed in the brain. It is no shame to choose others as models as ex- amples of one’s life, it is objectionable to choose only some singie person and ape his qualities, good or bad and be a slave of imitation. The real purpose of imitation and setting up of examples is that they can be reached eventually and that they act as an inspiration in making one’s life better and nobler. Wholesale imitation has no plače in anyone’s life except that which is tempered with common sense and that which brings out the best that is in us making the universe in which one lives just a lit- tle better and a little nobler than when it was before the advent of any particular person. _ _ the Washington are well portrayed., has ,seen action milina, Though long, the book is very J Phillipines, Mexico, c - a .^ finally France, wihere he interesting and iholds the at- tention, being full of adventure humor and suspense. 9 Thomas, Lowell Woodfill of the regulars To offšet to some degree the endless war stories of German experiences, Lowell Thomas has dis- tinguished himself in the Ai- gonne and was called by en eral Pershing “America’s great- est soldier.” A Kentuckian by birth, he learned the use of the rifle before he could carry it oil his shoulder and this stood him in good stead.

When a boy, he fell in love vvith Mary Mallinson, who vvas carried off by a French spy to Canada. His boyhood and youth were devo- ted to plans for her rescue. Wheri he finally found her in Quebee, he learned that she had never loved him; and that he loved Phoebe, the girl who had lived in his Ihome and had ac- companied the army on its ter- rible march. The pictur.es of frontier life. the beginning of the Revolution, the struggle up the Kennebee, and the fighting at Quebec are excellent; Butt, Arnold and our spring birds comes the thought of the migration of the \vcr!d’s birds. Bird migration has always been a most intrigu- ing topič of study. The very fact that so little is realiy known of the subject itself tends to pique the interest of everyone. Bird migrations are historical a,n d even in the venerable books of the Bible mentions are found of bird nlovements. Why do birds migrate ? If I were able to ansv/er that I should be a fam- ou.3 man overnight. There are nr ny explanations offered. Seme bearing on the scanty of foocl, some on the changing light conditions, some on the force of nabit vvhich may have been ac- quired during the ice-age and some on evervthing in general. For my singie self, I should plače eredence on the reason of instinct. As far back as man has existed birds have migrated regularly, why should one sup- pose that it would be anything but that marvelous faculty of instinet at the bottom of ali this movement ? One cannot but m ar v el at the distances traveled by these an- nual normds, Shorebirds, Thrushes,. Swaliows, Bobolinks, Nighthawks and Tanagers fly ali the way to the lower parts of South America. Our Nighthavvk flies from Canada to Argentina, a, distance of seven thousand nriles or a round trip of fourteen thousand miles- Some Sandpi- pers travel sixteen thousand uch small pieces of animation oul d do s uch tremendous tasks. Again we must marvel at the nccuracy, of their sense of di- rection. It is wonderful how birds can come back to the same districts without a mistake. Undo,ubtably the bird’s eye is one of the reasons for this ex- aetness. The bird’s eye is the finesi piece of optical work in the v/orld and this enables it to find its way back to its old home. One cannot but be as- tounded at the wondrous strargeness of it ali. OBITUARY Mr s.

Sebastian Krelj and Jurij Jurčič TrubaFs literarv efforts vere not to the satisfac¬ tion of Ml the people who strongly objeeted to the Germanized language in contrast to the spoken lan- gu-age of the people of the land those who vere least affected by the German. The reaction to Trubar’s in- troduction • of foreign phraseology leaned to Luther’s example to supply texts in the popular language. The first and the greatest objeetor to this for- eignization vas Sebastian Krelj. Sebastian Krelj vas born in Vipav in the year 1538. He studied vith Malhe v Vlasic, a renovned Protestant ’ theologan. yiasec’s influence in the language is also noted in the vrorks that Krelj published later. It is very probable that he became acquainted vith the Croatian langpage with his teacher, beside the Slav languages -Krelj also knew the Classic languages—the Greek, Latin and •also the IJebrev. In 1583 he came to Ljubljana and became Trubar’s assistant as preachef and a teacher of the exeges!s and Sciences, When Trubar left Slovenia Krelj vas made the superintendant of the Protestant Clhurch vhen he vas only 27 ye,ars old. Unfortunately he died in 1567 vhen he vas only 29 years old. He died ebfore his influence on the literature had a real and lasting effect, though others folloved his lead, his influence did not have the full effect that vould mean complete reform in tihe language. During hi life Kerlj vas very active and produced many works. His chief work consisted in the trans- lation of the Postila of Spangenberg. The work itself is very original and shows thathe vas anxious to in- .troduce a pure tongue such as vas spoken by the people of his time and the language that was the most characteristic of the Slovenes, though it is evident that a copy of TrubaFs vorks vas handy for refer¬ ence. For mis vork he used the model of the church language and in the preface of the vork he States the folloving “the language of the Slovenes is not the lan¬ guage of the people in Kraj n or the people vho are in close contact with the German elements and speak a semi-German but of the people vho live in the interior of the land, tihe Istrians, the Vip.avians etc.” The Postila wa,s published in 1567, the year of his death and it is highly probable that he left other things in manuseript which never saw fine light of day thru the medium of the press. Some of his vorks included songs that eyentually found their way into the hymnal of Trubar and of Klombner. He vas also the author of a cathechism vhich vas p,opularly used in the schools of the time. In the purity of language Krelj was the leader of ali his contemporaries and succeeded to use only ex- pressions that vere character?stica}ly Slovene. It is not expected that he rid the language of ali the foreign words -and his vorks reflect the feeling for the people and popular language. In the field of written language he introcluced some reforms that vere really a pro gressive step but which did not have a lasting effect on the language'. The greatest misfortune that betel’ the vritten language of the Slovenes vas that he died at the early age before the effects could be permanntly established. When the nev edition of Krelj’s Postila v/as is- sued under the supervision of George Juricic the older forms that Trubar used found their way into the edi¬ tion. The letter characters that Trubar invented vere changecl for th^ never and better characters of Krelje- ven some of the old Slovene expressions substituted •those of the purer forms of Krelj. George Juricic was a Vindolian Croatian vhere he held the position of priest. As early as 1547 his sermons vere of a Protestant character and in Ljub¬ ljana, he came later he became thoroughly indenti- fied vith the new religion. After that time he held several positions as preacher in the various communi- ties in Carniola. In 1562 he is found at Urah as one of the translators vho vent there to help in the revi- sion and the editing of the Bible into the Jugoslav languages under the supervision of Trubar. At Urah he published the “Ene duhovne piefni” (Slovene Hym- n.al) for vhich he also composed some of the hymns. With the death of Krelj he vas commissioned to com¬ plete tihe vork that vas begun by Krelj, vhich vork he completed in 1568. The edition that he vas re- sponsible for vas published in TrubaFs style and vith TrubaFs language. It is known that he vorked vith the manuseript of Krelj and vith the inspiration and influence of Krelj’s graphologv. When the edition finally came it had tihe Trubar influence, vhich how- ever very probablv vas.changed by Bohorcic vho read the final proofs and it is possible that the changes vere made by him. Juricic died in 1578 in the begin¬ ning of a reform that in spite of the earlv death made an impression on the language and though the inno- vations vere not comp!etely accepted they have caused the language to improve. IV. Adam Bohorcic and George Dalmatin The most influencial men in the establishment of the Slovene as it is today vere Bohorc/c and Dalmatin. As a vhole they embodied ali the improvements that were instituted in tihe language since and including Trubar. Though their vork is mostly influenced by the pioneering vork of Trubar they nevertheless ac¬ cepted the improvements that vere proposed by Krelj. Adam Bohorcic vas one of the aids of Ungnad at Krka. His birthdate and birth plače are unknovn. In 1546 his name is found on the ros ter of Wittenburg Universitv. in Germany vhere he studied under the great reformer Melancthon. At the university he be¬ came acquainted vith Greek, Latin and the Hebrev languages and also vith the Slav languages, espec- ially vith Croatian. As a Master of Philosophy he opened a school and an academv in 1551. About fift- een years later he became the reetor of the State Latin School in Ljubljana. Tvo years later he retired and soon after he vas made the superintendent of schools in the vhole of Slovenia.

His outs under Foote’s man- agement were with Johnny Bo¬ ber, Joe Schooler, Mike Wolf and others vvhom ihe defeated. He began to find it harder to get opponents.to fight him and so he advanced into the one hundred eight pound class. Matched With Rini His first opponent in the one hundred eight pound class was Gus Rini, who was the Cham¬ pion of this division. Johnny proceeded to throw a few of his lightning jabs at Rini’s face and copped the title. Other good boys whom Johnny beat vvere Joe Eagon, Phil Goldstein and Mannie Robbins. The latter is now a gym owner and fight promoter. . Loses Title Jimmy Tranett whom John- ny defeated before, was coming along fast. The two were re¬ matched to tangle at , League Park. Johnny lost the title to Tranett after a furious skirm- ish. Some time after he entered the State- Tournament. Tran¬ ett lost to “Buff” Lucas of To¬ ledo. The follovving week John- ny met Lucas in the finals and vvhipped him and thus was rec- ognized as the state Champion. Becomes Professional He became a Professional anu settled in Chicago with Jack Leslie as manager. He lost to Hugh Munson at Buffalo and then returjied to Cleveland where he met Carl Tremaine and joined Parson McGinty. McGinty arranged for a match with Al Dundee, a -clever bat- tler, who outvveigihed Johnny by eight pounds. Al Dundee knoeked Johnny cold. Johnny s.aid he received the greatest surprize of his life when, after the fight, not knovving that he had been knoeked out, he asked McGinty ihovv soon he was to go on, and McGinty told him he was alreadv on and out for the past fifteen minutes. He won his last fight from Patsy Mandeli of Albance. We began with Johnny as a musician. It is no more than right that we conclude with the brighter side of his life. Today Joihnny can stili be seen using his right and left. but it is in coaxing sweet notes from his accordian, and he stili delights in talking of his pu- to gilistic days.

Fatronize Our Advertisers Frankie Simms, who was sla, ted for certain defeat at the hands of a supposedly. rugged, sturdy and aggressive fighter by name of Emmett Rocco, cajne out and upset ali the pre- dictions of the many wiseacrea who congregate' around cheap hotel lobbies, and not only held his own, but actually outpoint- ed his opponent. These wise- acr.es wfho drag on a big five cent cigar stuck in the corner of their mouth, with hats pulled down over their forehead, who peddle bananas during the day, ncinted to the showing made by So J o and Simms against Kirby. Kirby defeated Frankie but in turn was knoeked out by Rocco, That alone served as a good ar¬ gument. Add to this, Rocco’s experience plus his recent bouts wiiib Riško, which totaled 24 rounds, plus his superior knowl- ad.ge of ring warfare, his ag- gressiveness and you have the muke-up of Rocco preceding the right. On the other hand, contrast this with SimnTs \vhom these sages rated as being just a wild swinger. Nothing more. This also preceding the battle. Let us pick out a few high lights of the meeting of those two gladiators. One a pros- pectiv.e Champion, the other a big bum. As we saw it and there are thousands of others who will vin dicate us, one Emmett Rocco was very mucih out of plače. First of ali, he was not aggres¬ sive for reasons best known t,o himself and for reasons that we night guess if we trv j ust a little bit. Second, he was sturdy, verv mueh so. But when Frankie belted him, he not so sturdy. They said he was a “rushin’ ” “teariv.’ ” infighter. VVell, we’ll give in on that point. He ruslhed ali right to get out of the way of Frankie’s right hand. We noticed that when Simms swung one of his maul- ers, the spectators in the op- posite direction were forced to puli their coat collars to pro- tect themselves from the mild cyclone he sent from his pro- pellers. , To get down to serious busi- ness the fight was not what everybody had figured it would be. It was a slow, listless bat¬ tle, with Frankie leading and forcir.g whatever little actual fighting there was. Rocco was content with closing in and try- ing to infight. He did have the best of it in tihe mehod of fight¬ ing. Frankie was at a loss to solve this style. However, when he tired of the blows that Rocco would register while infighting he would simply shake off the Italian mueh as a baby does a nipple when tired of it. Frankie did not have occasion to land vvith Ihis right hand with full force. If he had, think of what By Heinie Martin Our community has more ath- letes in various sports than any other in the city. We have Pro¬ fessional boxers and bali play- ers as well as amateur, gym- nasties, basketball, and other such sports in which our ath- letes excell. Ovving to the vast size of our community, many of us are unacquainted with the work of some of our heroes in the athletic field. We need go no fartiher to explain that what we most needed was a medium that would devote its space to sports. The Cleveland Journal has adden a new feature in devoting a page entirely to sports. This should be good news for the managers and backers of teams, fer it will give them the opportunity of informing the public of thei” sporting activi- ties, which of course, from a business vievvpoint, is a very good form of advertising. To the backer I would sug- gest that they deal vvith a man¬ ager who will be broadminded enough to know that they are not financing a team simply foi the fun of it. The Cleveland Journal will be eveready to publish accounts of games; hovvever, the manager should give us the necesssary Information vvhich must be in our office not later than Tues- day night to be published the same v-:eek.

TOURNEY MARCH FIFTH the sport,s of the commui The questions to ask ourselves vvhen contemplating another indoor league are: Was our league a success last vear? Did our members shovv their enthu- siasm for it throughout the sea¬ son? Wa,s the league top iheavy and very vveak at the bottom? Did our players shovv their in- terest by reporting at the ap- pointed time? In general, vvas the league a gain to ali concern- ed ? And last of ali, can vve vvork out a plan that vvill outdo that of the previous attempt? This is in ansvver to the pro- posed S. D. Z. League vvhich is making preparations to organ- ize again this coming season. Knovving as vve do, the earn- est desire of 'the officers to bring about a unison of the younger generation, vve are nrompted to suggest the follovv- cessitate the assistance of the merchants.

Fifteen playerjs vvould be carried on the poster. Not only the business men vvho cater to patrons outside of their immeiate vicinty, but also the Professional men vvould find it advantageous to adver- tise in this rnanner.

Johnny Rich, a Croation bat- tler, hailing from the vvest side, decisively defeated Joe Schlund. former amateur vveltervveight Champion, in a four round bout.

Last Friday, representatives of ali the nationalities were gathered. in the ofrices of Mr. Newman City Park Director. Mr. Anton Grdina, Mr. Vatro J. Grili, and Mr. Jack Debevec, were the Sl vene representatives. Here, ML! SOKOLS Newman explained the purpose of this donation of land, which was, namely, to beautify this spot with -the nations distinguished f!owers, shrubs, trees or maybe a statue of a nation’s great hero, or anything similar. Just how could such a plače be made typical Slovene? There is the lanckcape pro¬ blem, where we could plant some outstanding Slovene flowers, which a Slovene that came from the old country would recognize as “trobentice, soldatki, rožma¬ rin’’ and “roženkravt”. Of course, there must be the grape vine, growing on the “braj- a” or arbor, which is another characteristic of the Slovene Gar¬ den. Then, if we had ali the neces- sary money at our disposal, we could perhaps build an old coun- try home; for instance one like the one Prešern, the great Slovene author, was born in. This house could then be used ‘as a small, Slovene museum, where beautiful laces, linens and Slovenian fur- niture would be exhibited; not forgetting the large stone and the small bench around it, where our parents listened to the stories of their elders. SPARTANS If this house were built, it would be highly interesting to the American Slovenes as well as ex- ceedingly educational.

They are Jimmy Valentine and Billy Anzick. ST. CLAIR’S ON TOP The St. Ciair Merchants held on to second plače in Class “C” of the Muny League by gaining revenge on the Hoppinger Bind- ers, Saturday evening at the St. Ciair Bath House, with a score of 19to 8. The Binders, who defeated the Merchants earlier in the season were no match for the St. Ciair boys. The game was featured by the fine shooting of Koren of the Merdhants who scored 7 points and Flynn of the Binders who tallied 5 points. The defenzive work of Doljak and Petrovčič won the appHuse of the fans. With both hardhitting mitts bound in splints as a result of injuries caused in matches is the reason why Eddie Simms did not appear in some of tihe bouts thaft he was scheduled. As a matter of fact Eddie climb- ed into the ring to meet Ernie Young at the Young Men’s Fight Sihow several weeks ago with a bad left and in the eve¬ ning of the match at the Slo¬ vene hali he ihad the right glove handler injured. As a result of the injured hands :he was unable to meet Wienert as he was scheduled, by express orders of the doetor. That was not the only ring ap- pearance that Charlie 0’Connell was forced to cancel for Eddie because he was scheduled to meet some opponents on the 14, 18 and 27 of this month. Eddie as well as his manager are hoping that the hands will be in condition to warrant a successful campaign in the coming Plain Dealer Golden Gloves Tourney in whidh Eddie stands a good chance of copping the Heavy weight erown of the state. It will give Eddie enough time, it is hoped, that! his condition will be at the tip- top so as to assure our local boy the highest amatuer honors possible. DANCE ® IN given by “CLEV.
