COLUMBIA REQUESTS PIC-
TURES OF SLOVENE
STARS 1

Miss Mary Udovich and Mrs.
Josephine Lausche-Welf, the two
distinguished singers who have
appeared both on the radio and
on the concert stage and made
numerous phonograph records
have received a request from the
Columbia Phonograph Company
in Nevv York to send their pic-
tures to the main office in London
England where they wish to use
theise pictufres for advertising
purposes in Jugoslavia. It is a
known fact that the records of
these American - Slovene stars
have been played over the radio
in Ljubljana for the past year and
that they are almost as popular
abroad aš in America.

Rev. M. Jager Wins
Popularity Contest

You could hear only one
question vvherever you turned
Who will vvin!” and vvherever
y°u turned there vvere at least
two sellers of tickets by your
side asking you to support their
candidate. That is almost the
complete picture of last Sunday’s
Picnic of the United Lodges of
St. Vitusi Parish held on Spelko’s
farm. Hovvever, you must include
that the plače was s\varmed with
people and it could . easily be
said that it broke ali attendance
records for Slovene picnics. Then
bear in mind that it was the hot-
test day of the year and you will
need no explanation why the re-
freshment stands did a capacity
business and why there were so
many patrons standing around
them, that only a Joe Savoldi
could get close to them. But, ali
in ali, it was the happiest crowd
ever witnessed on a picnic.

Yes — we almost forgot — the
winners!! Everyone is interested
in that!! The prize for being the
most popular person of the pa¬
rish went to Rev. Matija Jager,
the energetic and popular assist-
ant. He led ali other contestants
by some 1,000  votes — some
landslide huh? With the distinc-
tion he gets a round trip ticket
to Jugoslavia and be expressed
himself that he will make use of
it next summer.

Next to him came Mrs. Fran-
ces Orazem, who when it is con-
sidered that she competed with
Rev. M. Jager, certainly could do
no better than come in second.
She gets a radio set for her prize.

The holder of the lucky ticket
was Mrs. Puerebar of Edna, she
also gets a round trip ticket to
Jugoslavia. She said that she
bought the lucky ticket from Rev.
M. Jager — another distinction
for him. The contest, as well as
the picnic, was a complete success

BARAGA DAY AT EAGLE
HARBOR, MICHIGAN

Everyone v^ill (rem!q|m.ber the
big celebration held las,t year at
Calumet Michigan honoring the
centennial of Bishop Baraga. To
keep this great missionary in the
minds of ali, the Baraga Com-
mittee has decided to help a sim-
ilar celebration this year, at Eagle

be as elaborate as last year and
will be held Sunday, August 9th,

SLOVENE CHASES BURGLAR

“Bill” Svete, the soda jerker
at Komin’s Pharmacy played the
leading role in a neighborhood
drama called “Chase The Bur-
glar” enacted at Komin’s last
Saturday. When he heard a per¬
son vvalking in the office of Dr.
Neuberger and knovving that the
doctor was out, he went to exam-
ine, but found the door locked.
Using ladders he cravvled into the
office of the doctor, but a search
through the rooms showed that
the burglar had escaped, leaving
the door open behind him. Even
if “Bill” didn’t catch the burglar
stili we know now that he isn’t
afraid of them — so you birds
don’t try 'getting *into Komin’s
while Bill is there!!!

FOUR SISTERS IN ACCIDENT.

Royal Reception Giren
Jugoslav Emigrants

Corning home from a picnic
in Medina, Ohio, last Sunday,
four daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Simon 3120 West 12th
Street were seriously hurt in an
automobile accidient) in Bejea.
Their machine was forced into a
ditch, pinning the unfo!rtunate
girls under it. Lena, aged 18,
died a few hours later at fhe
Berea hospital, while her three
siste'rs are seriously hurt.

and brought in a tidy sum for
the new St. Vitus Church, the
exterior of which has been com-
pleted yesterday.

During the last month of July
the American Slovenes, Croats
and Serbs were the guests at tne
Emigrant Congress which was
held at Beograd with emigrants
present not only from the United
States but from ali parts of the
world vvherever Slovene emi¬
grants have gone. This year they
have gone back to Jugoslavia to
make themselves acquainted with
the progress of the country since
it became an independent coun-
try with its own government.

It was a historical event when
the people came from ali parts
of the globe to Jugoslavia and
were the guests of the country
and the King himself. Being the
ones who vvould be entertained
the Jugoslavs were especially hos-
pitable to the congress pilgrims
and they made th« i\  e*pscially
welcome at ali the points where
they passed. Beginning with Je¬
senice and ali the way to Beo¬
grad it was a kind of triumphal
procession in which the people
could not do enough to entertain
the visitors. At Ljubljana the
members of the congress were
addressed by the American con-
sul Prince as well as the gover-
nors of the various provinces.

The congress at Beograd was
a memorable occasion at vvhich
many things were discussed and
the decisions made that a group
of Jugoslavs were to return the
visit to this c 6 untry and see for
themselves what the Slovenes,
Croats and the Serbs are doing in
this country. They vvill also try
to make contacts in this country
for the products of Jugoslavia
vvhich are being developed in
Jugoslavia today. It was also de¬
cided that a closer contact be
made permanently with the peo¬
ple in the United States vvith co-

SPARTANS HOLD AN OUT-
DOOR CELEBRATION

Novelty, interest and under-
taking are things vvhich the en-
tertainment committee of the
Spartans believes vvill satisfy
ali have long ffiadle it a habit
of going to the affairs vvhich thei
Sfcartans prepare. They are pop¬
ular — the affairs, because they
provide a differerft kind of a ath-
mosphere and different kind of
fun vvhich the committee and ev-
eryone of the members strives
for.

Fresh from the Sfcartan Shovv-
boat vvhich vvas a great success
the Spartans are having an out-
door celebration at Spelko’s Gar-
dens on Saturday evening Aug¬
ust 15 vvith T. Trinko providing
the mušic for the dancing. As
far as the Spartans are concern-
ed it vvill be an experiment in
that sort of entertainment though
it vvill not be an experiment in
entertainment.

The unusual part of it is that
one can go out there and have
an evening of real fun for only
35 cents. The invitation of
the Spartans includes ali the
Spartans and their friends. “If
you have company on that night
the ideal way to show them a
good time is to bring them to the
outdoor celebration of the Spar¬
tans.

SLOVENE GIRL ROBBED

Last Monday night at about
six o’clock 3  man entered the
Fanny Farmer Candy Shoppe at

a box of candy. The sole clerk
in the store at that time vvas Miss
Ida Skuly, 1099 East 71 st St.,
and as she turned she- heard the
usual command. Before she had
time , to compose her thoughts,
the bandit grabbed tihe day’s
receipts and left. Ida later called
the police, but the burglar could
not be found.

Any morning or evening you
can see the;se runners pacing it
from the souare to the Beach,
getting in trim, and if a Slovene
does not win the race it vvill not
be their fault! It vvill be vvorth
running too, for the vvinner re-
ceives a beautiful silver loving
cup.

Mr. Joseph Sterk; expressed
himself that he vvould vvish to
have as many Slovenes entered
as possible, so that a Slovene
victory vvould be cinched. He
urges anyone |that vvishes to en¬
ter the marathon to report to him

\Vith so many Slovenes par-

SLOVENE SCHOOL

Nada  ( Hope )

By Frances T. Gerbec

That we have Slovene schools and that they are do-
ing good work there is no question. If they were nothing
else than providing an opportunity of learning a ne v
language that purpose would be sufficient to keep them
alive. But they are not doing only that, it is by learning
the language that the American Slovenes are given a
means of understanding the older people and their cus-
toms and the life of the Slovenes as it was lived in other
days and what they are doing for themselves today in
this country. It is a matter of mutual understanding
that the Slovenes in America will be understood and ap
preciated today and in the future.

When there is so much talk of nationalism and amal-
gamation of elements in the great melting pot one is
rather surprised that the interept is not more general than
it usualiy is in connection with the Slovene school. There
is no complaint that the Slovene schools are not doing
their best and that they are not accomplishing what they
set out to do, but there is a, strange feeling that even that
which is of great use is not fully appreciated by those
who ought to appreciate it.

Many a young person would be more willing to go
to Slovene school if he heard of the fine things of the
Slovenes and Slovene life as it has been lived over there
and receive some encouragment from the parents of
American Slovenes. Why there is not more interest
among the older people in advertising the school and
what can be learned there is a puzzle even to young
American Slovenes themselves who are convinced of the
idea of learning the Slovene language is an excellent one.

Conducted by the St. Clair Branch Public Library.

The following are among the
new books added to St. Clair
branch this summer.

“The Silver Flute”, by Lida
Larrimore, author of “Mulberry
Square”, is a light and enter-
taining love story just suited for
summer reading. Musič, love, and
the moon play an important part
as background for the setting of
the book. The principal charac-
ters are two young romantics and
the young god-father of one for
vvhom life takes on a new mean-
ing.

Will James, the author of “Cow
Country”, has written a collection
of sixteen short stories ali put in-
to one volume under the title of
“Sun up”. These tales are ali of
cow~punchers at work and at
play. They are vivid, exc*ting,
and authentic picturesl of the
West. Will James is the most
readable as well as the most gen-
uine interpreter of the West and
his book will be sure to be thril-
ling to any reader interested. in
Broncho-busting, steer roping,
and riding the range.

“Bagatelle, by George Preedy
is a collection of five beautifu’lly
written and romantic tales of
long ago. These stories are rich
in color and dramatic intensity.
The subject material consists of
grim intrique, but the stylei of the
author has adorned them with a
great delicacy of touch and a
tender passion which holds the
sympathy of the reader. “Baga¬
telle” is like a bouquet of old
fashionedi flovvjers giving forth
that delicate and romantic scent
which always comes from them.

“Disraeli”, by Andre Mburois
is the romantic biography of that
greatest of Victorian Statesmen.
In this story of the life of this
great man one gets a most sym-
pathetic picture of his early strug-

gle to overcome his Jewish herit-
age, and one also gets one of the
most charming love stories of ali
tima in Disraeli’s love and de-
votion for his wife who was so
much older than himself but who
vvas, at the same time, the in-
spiration of ali his undertakings
and successes. Then Maurois
brings out the friendship of a
great queen for her stili greater
subject and secretary. This life of
Disraeli reads much more like
a novel than a biographical his-
tory.

Many years ago, in an old
ramshackle cottage, an old
gnarled woman was dying. Her
proud wrinkled face lay on the
high pillows and her deep-set
glassy eyes absorbed every mo-
vement of the beautiful maiden
she was frantically clutching and
pressing to her breast. It was very
dark in the room, and only a
single candle emitted its flickering
rays and feebly illuminated the
dark shadows that kept creeping
.roiselessly about the bed. In the
corner, an old cassocked priest
was chanting the prayers for the
dying. Occasionally he would
raise his vpice to a povverful
crescendo and the old woman
would twist her bony body un¬
der her shabby covers and sigh
a deep groan of despair.

“Nada, Nada, how hard it is
for me to die,” she muttered la-
mentingly. “You have been my
only light in the dark hours of
my life”. the old vvoman sighed,
“Your work here is completed
now and you vvill travel again
from palače to hovel, from vil-
lage to city, smiling your strange
svvee.t smile, brightening men s
lives, for a while, until they van-
ish away again. You are like the
v/arm glimmer of a candle in a
dark room. The confused shad-
ows lurk forebodingly to over-
povver the softly glittering flame,
Sometimes it happens that the
room is luminously resplendent
with the beaming light. But that
is only for a' moment, and then
ali tutns to doubt uncertainly
again.

“Do you see that long narrow
path that leads to the sea?” she
pointed with her long bony fin-
ger. “Go.” “Go novv,” she com-
manded.

The fair damsel wrapped her
dark cloak closely about her,
terrified by the gloomy figures
that crept with her on that lonely
moon-lit path, frightened by the
forest sounds that startled her,
while she meditated the solemn
words that the old woman had
spoken in farewell.

She walked slowly, with falter-
ing steps, until she neared a great
fire about which she noticed the
half-silhouetted lymg forms of
strong brawny men.

Simultaneously, they too es-
pied the crouching figure in the
distance, but as she came to
them, a remo.te and reassuring
light suffused their faces. They
took her on board the ship that
lay at anchor nearby, and on the
follovving day resumed their task
and set sail for foreign ports.

The bright-eyed and rosy-
cheeked Nada soon gained favor
with them. She delighted every-
one with her grace and radiant
comeliness, and ali the men ad-
mired her and naturally fell un
love with her. She helped the
cook in the kitchen while he was
dreaming of his home, lighted
the captain’s pipe, while he talk-
ed of his wife and children, and
tied knots in the ropes for the
sailors who told her of their bon-
ny sweethearts waiting for them.

It was very peaceful to be ever-
lastingly rocking with the waves,
but one night in mid-ocean, the
atmosphere suddenly became
very oppressive, and the skipper,
alarmed by the reverberating
thunder, started shouting com-
mands to the deck hands. The
billowy sea heaved portentiously
e/id an avalanche of water swoop
ed across the vessei. Lightning
flashed its serpentine gashes
through the black sky and into
the waters that gushed furiously,
screeching with a clamor that
rend the air.

And while the captain cried
his orders amid the confusion of
scurrying black forms, Nada hung
to the strong rigging of the mast,
and stood there, a white figure

ing vvhirlpool of madness, lashed
and vvhipped by the blinding and
choking vale of ram and water.

The storm subsided as quickly
as it had begun. The waves once
more danced their musical rythm,
free from the fury and passion
that the winds had wrought, and
no one more reverently esteemed
Nada than the company of vic-
torious seamen. The vessei soon
reached harbor, hovvever, and
Nada continued her journey,
meandering slowly down the well
beaten path into a village.

The road led past parched
fields and arid wastes of pastures
and the meagre and black homes
stood out desolately and for-
lornly. She peered through one
of the vvindovvs and saw a group
of peasants vvith red eyes and
sunken faces, sitting about the
room, staring hopelessly. There
was a certain grace about their
rugged brawny bodies, although
their faces bore hard and sharp
outlines. A kindness lingered
about their lips, and besides the
sadness in their eyes, there was
a soft, wholesome light of gentle-
ness and goodness. They became
aware of her presence and their
eyes suddenly transformed with
joy and a nevvround confidence.
They motioned her to join them,
and as she sat by their white oak
table, and listened to their sad
tale of lament, she learned how
industrious!y lhey had prepared
their fields in the spring for a
rich and abundant harvest, and
how their hopes had been shat-
tered by the heavy drought that
overcame the.grovving expanse of
greenery.

For weeks she stayed in the
village. The rain fell, the wind
blew again, and the sun once
more spread its warm rays over
the reviving meadovvs. The fields
became green with new life and
the faces of th s people once more
became rugged and happy. In
the evening, as they gathered to-
gether after their hard day’s work
they sang soft chanting melodies
of the sun, of the rain, of the
rocky earth, of the harvest in the
f ali, of their flowered-covered
cottages, and of their lives and of
the lives of their fathers.

The notes swelled in their
breasts and their faces became
luminous with the light of hope
and understanding. The forests
re-echoed with their laughter as
they philosophyzed over their
struggles and vveakeness, and
in their more solemn moods, they
talked of their children and of
the distant, future that must,- some
day, fall on their shoulders.

The valley reigned with peace
again, but it happened that the
king of that country was bent on
war with a neighboring ruler and
as he chanced to'pass through the
village, he espied Nada and com-
manded her to share his saddle.
His eyes were small and nar-
row and he held Nada very close
as they trotted past steep em-
bankments and' low valleys.

“Look at these fields, these
golden waves of wheat!”

“Look at these forests of migh-
ty oakf”

“Behold my people kneeling
before me, attentive to my will,
subject to my command!” he as-
serted arrogantly, waving his
right hand in a proud vindi-
cation of self-appreciation.

“There are other lands that

Economic experts of the U.

Jugoslavia is a country of oppor-
tunity for those who are interest¬
ed. Many of her natural resources
have not yet been commercial-
ized. The congress in America
vvill be very interesting and very
important. It is planned that ali

announced to date.

BIZIL OUT FOR SEASON

The first casualty of the season
occurred to “Red” Bizil, catcher
and manager of the G. W.’s,
Red ’ suffered a split finger and
vvill not see action for the remain-
der of the season. As he is one
of the best backstops in the league
his services vvill be indispensible.

vvill be mine-tomorrovv. Other
fields, other forests, other
people,” he vvhispered haughtily,
and pressed her very close to
him, flinging her a lusty kiss.

But in the thick night, the
enemy stealthily approached the
tent, surprising the supercilious
king and Nada once more vvrap-
pdd her dark cloak securely about
her, demurred a little behind the
enemy’s ranks, and sped away
from the battle-field, away from
the files of pale, small-eyed,
slant-eyed men, and into the dark
forest that clothed her vvith con¬
fidence and safety.

She vvalked on and on until
she came to an old, vveather-
beaten, ivy-covered shack, and
through a small mpss-covered
aperture, she saw a poet, sitting
at a crude table, holding his
forehead vvith one hand and vvith
the other scratching out temp-
estuous lines of sonnets that he
vvas w>-iting and re-wtriting by
the dim light of the candle at his
elbovv.

H (5w THE H0NOR OF AUSTRIA WAS

s AVed

By the expression on tneir races, one C0ll j c [
that the meeting of the Austria n  cabinet had a Seri * Ce
problem to discuss. They had been called by th e  ^
Maxmillian to deliberate on a problem vvhich had ^
stria s pride at stake.

Three months ago, at a happy gathering, a  |
from Bohemia, Pegam, who vvas a most feared dudj
had challenged the best of Austrian’s nobility to fj  |’

him in a tournament. But, the Austrian lords had, ^
far, failed to ansvver the challenge. It appeared that
for the first time tha Double Eagle vvould lovver

1[ self to

a minor nation. To relieve the situation and find a Worthy

opponent for Pegam, the emperor had called toge^
his cabinet. Here, in the sovereigns palače, they h a j
been in conference the entire afternoon, but a  sol ut i 0#
to the puzzle seemed as far avvay as aver.

“Is there not a single brave ma n  in the whol e em .

pire

?” demanded Maxmillian.

At such a frank request from the ruler the me m
seemed to get nevv life. They began conver s i n ,

bers

heatedly and rapidly vvith each other trying to reca ||
th® name of someone who could save Austria.

“I have the man for you! Does Gašper Lambergei
knovv of this challenge?” cried the prime minister, hap.
py that perhaps he had, at last found the right man

“Who is Lamberger? Is he brave enough)” ;j, e
vvhole council shouted in unison.

“Do you not remember that brave Slovene Ga<-
per Lamberger, vvho, tvvo years ago, distinguished him-
self by defenting our own emperor Maxmillia n a t a
tournament? He is brave enough to meet Pegam."

The cabinet did not delay in dispatching a me$-
senger to the castle Kamen, by Radovljica i n  Carniola,
vvhere lived the bravest lord in Austria, the Slovene
Gašper Lamberger.

It did not take Lamberger long to decide that he
vvould combat the Bohemian. He armed himself, put on
his best suit of armor, had his best steed brought out of
the stable and bade the messenger to hurry and teli the
emperor to prepare the tournament.

Far and vvide vvas the tournament announced, and
nevar vvas there so much interest in any duel as fot

this one, and no vvonder - for the honor of Austria

vvas being defended.

On the green turf outside of Vienna, a large crowd
had come to vvitness the battle. It vvas a most splendid
spectacle. The field vvas crovvded vvith ali that vvas no-
ble, great, wealthy or beautiful in ali Austria, including
the emperor and his court.

At length from the northerly camp came foni
knights, advancing slowly into the circular area. A single
knight rode in font bedecked in shining vvhite armor,
vvhich glistened in the sun. His horse trappings likevvise
vvere elaborate, being embroidered in silver 'thread. k
he passed the ruler he saluted him and his court by low-
ering the lance. This shovved to the cro.vvd that he was

their champion - Gašper Lamberger. The shouts .of tke

multitude, together vvith the acclamations of the heralds
and the noise of blasting trumpets shovved how popuk 1
he vvas in Austria.

But ali eyes turned to the sOutherly camp, when
a blast of a trumpet announced the arrival of the l° r
from Bohemia. Accompanied by ten knights, Pega®
rode into the circle. His suit of armor vvas of bb c ^
steel, richly inlaid vvith gold and rubies. Fle vvas mount
ed on a prancing black horse, and vvith the dexterit>’
that he handled the steed it could be seem that he
a great vvarrior. He also had his follovvers vvho had co®
from far off Bohemia to cheer their armigerent.

As the tvvo combatants stood opposite each oth eI
at the tvvo extremities of the circle, public špirit was
its highest, many doubted Lamberger’s škili,
prayed that Austria be spared this shame, stili oth eI
prayed that Lamberger vvould lose, others beseech^
Pegam to vvithdravv, but the tvvo vvarriorš remained co
avvaiting but the blast of the clarion.

No sooner had the trumpet given the signal t
the tvvo lords rushed from the posts vvith the sP ee j
lightening, and .closed in the, middle vvith a resoundm
shock. It seemed that both men had been unbo fSC ,
but although their lances had been shivered up t0 1

STRUCTURE ,OF A PERFUME

The perfume chemist finds it is
unsatisfactory to create a finished
odor by using natural perfume
alone. Thus he must resort to
both natural and artificial prod-
uets.

In creating a nevv odor, the
chemist must first determine the
type of perfume desired. 1 he ba-
sic product vvhich determines the
character is knovvn as the body.

The fixative is next in order.
This fixative is used to correct
the strength and odor of the na¬
tural aromatic perfume. It pre-
vents the sickly svveet odor, and
also prevents a perfume from be-
ing vvhat vve call ‘fiat*.

In testing a perfume for it s
virtue, a keen sense of smeli is
necessary. The test consists of
the follovving—tvvo drops of the
assumed perfume are placed up¬
on a blotter paper, set aside for
24 hours, then smelled. If con-
ditions are such that there Is no
smeli, or a sickly smeli prevails
after the required tirno, it is dis-
carded. Should the fragrance be
desired, ingredients are added
to give the prefume freshnes3,
for vvithout it the perfume vvould
be valueless,

combat vvas in earnest.

But, O Lord, Pegam’s lanqe had found its marki!
Pegam had aimed at the center of the enemy’s shield
and štručk it forcefully that he pierced it and novv blood
vvas spurting from, Lamberger’s side. Austria’s hope
vvas diminished. The Maximillian follcvvers gasped in
despair, Pegam’s Bohemians filled the air vvith joyous
shouts. It seemed that Pegam vvould vvin. . .

But Lamberger did not give up. He threvv avvay
his lance, and grabbed for his battle axe. He vvould
yet be vietorious. Pegam, follovving suit, used his axe
to protect himself.

The third rush vvas on. . . Tvvo axes svvung into
the air—and descended ... A shriek filled! the air. . .
and a head rolled to the ground,. . . Itf vvas the head of
Pegam. . .

Amid the deafening clamour of Austrian specta-
tors, Lamberger picked Pegam’s head on his spear and
brought it before the emperor, vvhile the spectators roar-
ed and acclaimed, “Austrian honor has been upheld by
a Slovdne.”
