ZA VARSTVO TOBAKA
PROBLEMI PRISELJENCA
V zveznem poljedelskem de-partmentu se znanstveniki ba-vijo z najrazličnejšimi poskusi in raziskavanji. Delo teh znan- , štvenikov je vredno za ameriške • farmer je vsako leto številne mi- , lijone dolarjev. Novovzgojene ali iz drugih dežel importirane , koristne rastline, ki so za goto- j; ve dele dežele primernejše kot', rastline starih vrst, pomenijo : večji in boljši pridelek. Potom raziskavanj in p o s k u s o v so ( znanstveniki zatrli ali omejili že ( mnogo rastlinskih bolezni, ki bi j sicer vsako leto uničile velik del ] raznih farmskih pridelkov. <
Etmologični oddelek poljedel- , skega departmenta neprestano ( išče pota in sredstva za uničeva- f nje različnih mrčesov, ki ogro- j žajo ta ali oni pridelek. V to svrho morajo najprej natančno | izpoznati navade in razvade raz- ( ličnih mrčesov, kar seveda vza- ( me čas. Nekatere vrste mrče- , sov je mogoče zatirati s kemika- j lijami, za druge je treba impor- ( tirati njihove naravne živalske , sovražnike. Važno pri tem je, , da izdatki za zatiranje mrčesa j niso previsoki.	,
V naših južnih deželah se vsako leto pridela velike množine : tobaka. Po tobačnih plantažah ; je do nedavnega povzročala ve- \ likansko škodo neke vrste gose- r niča, ki jo imenujejo “tobacco hornworm.” To ime je dobila, , ker silno rada žveči mlade to- . bačne liste in ker ima na glavi ^ nekakemu rogu podoben izras- i tek. Tekom najbujnejse rasti,, tobaka so delavci vsako jutro ] morali obirati in uničevati te go- ] senice, kar je bilo zamudno in tudi ne posebno uspešno delo.
Etmologi v poljedelskem de-partmentu so se začeli zanimati ; za življenje te gosenice in so pronašli, da bi bilo najbolj uspešno uničiti metulje ali veše, ki : ležejo zalego teh gosenic. Pronašli so dalje, da imajo ti metu- : lji, ki letajo okoli le ponoči, zelo radi sladki nektar, ki se nabira v cvetnih čašah orhidej. Orhideje pa so silno drage in tudi občutljive cvetlice, zato so znanstveniki iskali cenejšega nadomestila. To nadomestilo so našli v neki kemikaliji, ki se imenuje “amyl salicylate” in diši kot cvet orhideje. Tej kemikaliji so primešali strup, imenovan “sodium arsenate,” katerega majhna količina povzroči smrt metulja. Po tobačnih poljih so kmalu nato “vzcvetele” porcelanaste ali pločevinaste cvctlice, ki so nekoliko sličile cvetom orhidej, v čašah katerih pa je bila tista s strupom mešana tekočina. Metulji, predniki tobačne gosenice, so se dali “potegniti,” pa so se na svojih ponočnih izletih napajali s tem umetnim nektarjem, zakar so plačali s svojim življenjem.
Tako so etmologi zveznega poljedelskega departmenta rešili farmorjem tobačne nasade go-seničje zalege in jim s tem prihranili milijone dolarjev. Pro-fitirale so s tem tobačne družbe, nekaj pa tudi mi tobakarji, ker so znanstveniki preprečili, da se tobak ni podražil.

Novo sadje
Botaniki washingtonske univerze iščejo primerno ime za novo sadje, ki je podobno “grapefruitu” in lemoni, pa ni eno niti drugo. Rastlina je bila vzgojena iz križanja med obema vrstama omenjenih sadnih , dreves. Sadje, katero ta križa-( nec rodi, dqseže debelost grape-
: fruita, po barvi, obliki in okusu pa je bližje lemoni.
RAZNO IZ AMERIKE IN INOZEMSTVA
IZKORIŠČANJE premogar-jev po nekaterih neunijskih premogarskih naselbinah West Virginije od strani takozvanih kompanijskih prodajaln je postalo zadnje čase tako neznosno, da je sodnik Baker v Mor-gantownu ukazal preiskavo razmer. Sodnik je obljubil rabiti vso strogost zakona v slučajih, kjer so podjetniki silili svoje delavce, da morajo kupovati svoje potrebščine v kompanijskih tovarnah, pod pretnjo, da sicer izgube delo, ali kjer se za en£,ko blago zahteva več v kompanijskih kot drugih prodajalnah.
ZVEZNI KONGRES, katerega službena doba je potekla pred enim tednom, je odobril nad en tisoč milijonov dolarjev izdatkov. To je največja svota, ki je bila kdaj dovoljena v mirnem času.
PREDLOGA za odpravo zasedanja “kruljevih rac,” to je kongresnikov, ki še obdržijo svoje mandate več mesecev potem, ko so jih volilci porazili, je zaspala v konferenci. Senator Norris, ki se že več let bori za odpravo zasedanja, “kruljevih rac,” ni hotel sprejeti amendmenta nižje zbornice in je raje pustil, da je predloga zaspala. Ko se snide prihodnji kongres pride predloga ponov-no na vrsto, in Norriss ima upanje, da bo sprejeta brez posebne opozicije.
SENATNI ODSEK, ki je bil imenovan v svrho preiskave živilskih cen, poroča, da živežni trusti dobivajo vedno večjo kontrolo nad življenjskimi potrebščinami ameriškega ljudstva. Farmer dobi za svoje pridelke premajhno ceno, kon-zument pa mora vse predrago plačati. Posebno cene kruha in mleka so previsoke. Omenjeni odsek priporoča, da se proti ži-vežnim monopolom porabi anti-trr.stne postave in da kongres sprejme še nadaljne postave, ki bodo ščitile ljudstvo pred izkoriščanjem živilskih trustov.
VEČ VAŽNIH PREDLOG, ki so bile sprejete v nižji kongresni zbornici, je zaspalo v senatu, ker je zadnje tri ure zasedanja porabil senator Thomas iz Oklahome, ki je bil jezen,- ker senat ni sprejel embargo na olje. Med temi važnimi predlogami je bila materinska pro-tekcijsk?i predloga in pa Vesta-lova “copyright” predloga, ki bi čuvala ameriške pisatelje in dovolila, da Zedinjene države pristopijo tozadevni konvenciji v Bernu.
“STAR SPANGLED BANNER” je zdaj oficijelna ameri-riška narodna himna. Tako j e določil nedavno zaključeni 71. zvezni kongres.
D E VE TDE SE TLETNICO svojega rojstva je v nedeljo 8. marca obhajal sodnik najvišjega zveznega sodišča v Wash-ingtonu, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Listi so pri tej priliki prinesli številne odločitve naj višjega sodišča, v katerih se je sodnik Holmes potegoval za ustavne pravice ljudstva, zagovarjal svobodo govora in omejitev otroškega dela itd. Holmes je bil rojen v Bostonu leta 1841 in je po poklicu odvetnik, član Dalje na 2. strani
KORISTEN PLEVEL
Pomoč za povratek v staro domovino?
Vprašanje: Ali so društva oziroma ustanove v tej deželi, ki pomagajo nezaposlenim inozem-cem povrniti se domov?
Odgovor: Nam je znana samo ena organizacija take vrste; ta namreč pomaga državi j anom centralnih in južnoameriških republik, da se vrnejo domov. Ali mnogi konzuli inozemskih držav imajo na razpolago sklade v to svrho, oziroma nekatere inozemske države imajo posebne pogodbe s parobrodnimi društvi glede znižane ali brezplačne voznine siromašnih priseljencev. To zadnje velja tudi za Jugoslavijo.
Kaj je “Deportation Warrant?”
Vprašanje:	Neki moj prija-
telj je bil pripuščen v Združene države na obisk za dobo 6 mesecev, ali ostal je čez rok brez dovoljen j a.	Izdano je bilo proti
njemu povelje z^i deportacijo ali deportation warrant, toda dovolili so mu, da se svobodno vrne v domovino na lastne stroške. Ali se bo on smel kasneje povrniti v Združene države?
Odgovor:	On	bi	mogel biti
zopet pripuščen v Združene države le tedaj, ako bi bilo depor-tacijsko povelje razveljavljeno. To pa se le redkoma dogaja, čim je bilo izdano deportaci.isko povelje, ostane v veljavi in se ino-zemec smatra, kot da je bil deportiran — brez ozira na to, na
Mftdpotoxal.-P-od
sedanjimi zakrini je inozemec, ki je bil deportiran, za vedno izključen iz Združenih držav.
Nastanjenost v svrho naturalizacije Vprašanje: živel sem nekoliko let v Brooklynu, toda pred kratkim sem se presolil v Manhattan. Kje naj vložim prošnjo a naturalizacijo?
Odgovor: Prošnjo morate vložiti tam, kjer sedaj stanujete. Ali, ko vlagate prošnjo, morate biti nastanjeni v dotični County vsaj tekom zadnjih šestih mesecev. Zakon od leta 1929 je iz-premenil odredbe glede nasta-njenosti, ki so poprej zahtevale petletno nastanjenost v Združenih državah in enoletno nastanjenost v državi, kjer se prošnja vlaga. Sedaj se zahteva 5-letna nastanjenost v Združenih državah in šest mesecev v isti county, kjer se prošnja vlaga. Brooklyn, Bronx in Manhattan so v raznih “counties.” Kdor se preseli iz Brooklyna v Manhattan oziroma v Bronx in narobe, mora čakati in tam stanovati 6 mesecev, p r e d n o sme vložiti prošnjo za naturalizacijo.
Pozabil je, kdaj je prišel
Vprašanje:	Znam,	iz	katere
luke sem prišel, mesec in leto svojega prihoda, toda pozabil sem ime ladje in dan. Ali bo priseljeniška oblast preiskala knjige, če le toliko povem?
Odgovor: Ne. Bodisi za na-turaliza.cijske ali priseljeniške svrhe morate navesti prihod ladje in vsaj približen datum prihoda. Ako je kaka pomota, bo priseljeniška oblast preiskala liste potnikov kake druge ladje, ako navedete njeno ime. Morate se obrniti na kako organizacijo ali na parobrodno družbo, da vam najde ime ladje in dan prihoda.
Brc/potreben strah pred deportacijo
Vprašanje: Prišel sem v Zedinjene države pred kakimi petnajstimi leti. Imam družino tukaj. Pravijo, da deportirajo mnogo inozemcev. Ali je zame kaka nevarnost?
(Dalje na 2. strani)
Mnoge rastline, katere je človek svoječasno smatral za nadležen in nepotreben plevel, so se izkazale koristne na en ali drugi način. Navadna kopriva, katere se vsak rad ogne, ima baje mnogo zdravilnih lastnosti. Poleg tega se da iz mladih kopriv napraviti okusno špinačo, pa tudi za krmo kokoši in prešičev je porabna. Stebla dozorelih kopriv dajejo tudi dobro in močno predivo.
Znana ameriška rastlina “goldenrod,” katera obilno raste po pašnikih, ob cestah in sploh kjer se ji nudi prilika, vsebuje precejšnjo količino gumija. Ko bodo primerni stroji izgotovljeni, bo morda goldenrod postal važen vir za pridobivanje gumija.
Neki A. E. Berquist je pro-našel, da vsebuje navadni divji mleček znatno količino dobrega gumija. Mož je izdelal tudi miniaturni stroj, potom katerega je mogoče dobiti gumi j iz ome njene rastline.
Divja konoplja je znan plevel, ki bujno raste, kjerkoli se ji nudi malo prilike. Ta plevel je domač po vseh državah naše Unije in sega ’še daleč doli v Centralno Ameriko. To pomeni, da se prigodi vsakemu podnebju in razmeram. Raste hitro in bujno in doseže dostikrat višino 7 do 10 čevljev; ponekod tvori prave “pragozde.”
Farmer ji v Imperial Valley, California, so pronašli, da je ’omenjena divja konoplja dober gnoj za izrabljeno zemljo. Do-sedaj so sejali na močno izrabljeno zemljo alfalfo, katera je njeno rodovitnost tekom par let znatno izboljšala. Divja konoplja pa se je v tem oziru pokazala boljše sredstvo kot alfalfa, ker raste bolj hitro in bujno. V “mesecih počitka’ torej farmer ji obsejejo prazno polje z divjo konopljo, katero potem v njenem najboljšem razvoju povaljajo in podorjejo. Ta zeleni gnoj divje konoplje baje zviša regularne pridelke v Imperial Valley za 25 odstotkov. To pomeni v številkah kakšne tri milijone dolarjev letno.

ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
Iz različnih industrijskih krajev v Dravski banovini prihajajo poročila o redukcijah in brezposelnosti. V ljubljanskih strojnih tovarnah in livarnah že precej časa delajo s skrajšanim delovnim časom. Nova Ju-gometalija je odpustila tri četrtine delavcev; ostali delajo le po štiri ure na dan. Jugosteyer v šiški je že v novembru odpustil 17 delavcev in pridržal le štiri. V železarni v Štorah delavci nekaj dni delajo, potem pa se jih pošlje za nedoločen čas na dopust. V Westnovi tovarni v Celju se dela samo po štiri dni na teden. V cinkarni v Celju obratujeta izmed 9 peči samo še dve. V železarni v Zrečah pri Konjicah so odpustili skoro polovico delavcev. V železarni v Muti je bilo odpuščenih več delavcev. V tovarni verig v Lescah pri Bledu je nekaj delavcev že nad pol leta' na brezplačnem dopustu. V jeklarni Guštajn je bilo odpuščenih 42 delavcev, v kovinskih podjetjih v Mariboru pa okoli štirideset.
Premogovnik v Senovem pri Rajhenburgu je odpustil 235 delavcev. So to večinoma kočarji s številnimi družinami in sinovi malih posestnikov, ki jim domača zemlja ne daje dovolj kruha. Veliko jih je bilo, ki so prihajali 2 do 3 ure daleč v . službo in to it 25 do 30 dinarjev na šilit. Na delu je š5 ostalo 497 delavcev, ki pa bodo delali samo po 15 šihtov na mesec. V premogovniku v Krmelju je bilo večje število delavcev odslovljenih. Svinčena družba v Mežici je zopet nekaj rudarjev reducirala, in to kljub temu, da se dela samo 5 dni tedensko.
Združene papirnice so že lani odpustile okoli 140 delavcev. V zadnjem času je podjetje v Goričanah odpovedalo ponovno okrog 80 delavcem službo. Pollakove usnjarne tovarne v Ljubljani, Kranju in Vrhniki so napovedale 10-odstotno znižanje plač.
VSAK PO SVOJE
Mala knjiga
V clevelandski javni knjižnici se nahaja knjiga, ki meri samo pet šestnajstink palca in je debela eno osminko palca, pa kljub temu vsebuje popolno povest “Rabaiyat of Omar Khayyam.” Listi so iz posebno finega indijskega papirja, in tekst je tako droban, da ga je mogoče čitati le z mikroskopom. Izdelava te knjige je zahtevala mnogo potrpežljivosti in najfinejših instrumentov, zato je vsled svoje posebnosti vredna več, kot kupe drugih knjig. Seveda je tudi zavarovana proti poškodbi ali tatvini za veliko svoto.

Dohodninski davek
Dohodninski davek za leto 1930 je treba plačati do 15. marca. Vsak prebivalec Zedinjenih držav, katerega surovi dohodki za leto 1930 so znašali čez $5,000, mora do tega dne prijaviti svoje dohodke. Isto-tako mora prijaviti svoje dohodke vsak, katerega čisti dohodki so znašali (ako je samec, oziroma poročen pa ne živi z ženo) $1,500; dalje ako so njegovi čisti dohodki znašali $3,-500 (če je poročen in stanuje z ženo, oziroma z možem). Kdor je imel dohodke kot gori omenjeno in jih ne prijavi za obdavčenje, se izpostavi nevarnosti denarne kazni in zapora.
Znani 19-letni vlomilec Ivan Lakner je v noči 13. februarja zaklal župnika Franca Kušarja v Mengšu. Zločin je ropar izvršil v župnijski pisarni, nakar je oplenil blagajno in izginil v noč. Tekom petih dni so oblasti roparja izsledile in zaprle.
Hrvatski skladatelj dobil nagrado za evropsko himno. Film-družba Union v Muenchenu je bila razpisala mednaroden natečaj za pesem, namenjeno za zvočni film “Das Lied der Na-tionen.” Natečaja se je udeležil tudi v Berlinu živeči Hrvat Adolf Ernst in za svojo kompozicijo prejel prvo nagrado v znesku 1500 mark, pri ožjem izboru pa mednarodno nagrado v znesku 50,000 frankov.
Na Bledu se je lani popilo v hotelih, restavracijah, gostilnah, kavarnah in vinotočih 127,738 litrov vina, 65,000 litrov vinskega mošta, 152,009 litrov piva, 84,060 litrov žganja, 95,825 litrov konjaka, ruma in raznega likerja, 1,098 litrov finega vina ter 1,698 steklenic šampanjca; skupno torej 525,730 litrov. Seveda niso Blejci vso to količino pijače sami použili, ampak so jim v pretežni meri pomagali letoviščarji, katerih je bilo lani okrog 20,000.
Eden zadnjih činov zdaj že blagopokojnega 71. zveznega kongresa je bil sprejetje predloge, ki določa “Star Spangled Banner” za našo oficijelno narodno himno. To je lepo in prav, ker dozdaj smo imoli dve ali tri, pa nismo bili sigurni, katera je prava. Pokojni kongres ni bil tak, da bi ostal v zgodovini zapisan s posebno vidnimi črkami, in morda bi bil razen njegove tekoče številke brez prej omenjene določbe, sploh v najkrajšem času pozabljen. Tako pa bo ostal zapisan v zgodovini kot tisti kongres, ki je končnoveljav-no določil našo narodno himno, in to bo držalo. Spomin na 71. kongres bo ostal, dokler bo obstajala ta dežela in njena narodna himna. To bo pa tudi skoro edina “rdeča črka” v zgodovini 71. kongresa.
*
Naša narodna himna je lepa in vsega spoštovanja vredna, toda, če je dežela 150 let izhajala brez tozadevne oficijelne pro-klamacije, bi bila najbrže še nekaj časa. Za tiste, ki so brez dela in v pomanjkanju, bi bilo za enkrat mnogo večje važnosti, če bi bil kongres ukrenil nekaj radikalnega za odpravo brezposelnosti. Praznemu žepu in želodcu tudi najlepša pesem ne pomaga dosti.
♦
Vsekakor bo določitev narodne himne nekoliko odpomogla brezposelnosti, vsaj v tiskarski industriji. Melodijo pač poznamo, besedila pa ne zna najmanj 75% prebivalstva. Jaz znam začetek: “Oh, say, can you see. . .,” potem se pa neha.
*
Trije znanstveniki so nedavno zopet poslali v svet izjavo, da človek izhaja iz opice. Jaz ne vem za druge, za sebe bi pa skoraj verjel tej teoriji, če se spomnim na budalosti, katere sem že počenjal v življenju.
*
Priporočljivo pa je, da tega opicam nihče ne pove, sicer bo huda zamera med njimi.
*
Neka ameriška ekspedicija se je podala v Mesopotamijo, kjer išče ladjedelnico, v kateri je bila izdelana Noetova barka. To kaže, da je v Ameriki res velika brezposelnost.
*
Nedavno nas je stala pred S. N. Domom gruča prijateljev, ki smo reševali lokalne in svetovne probleme. Na program sta seveda prišli tudi prosperiteta in depresija. Baš sredi diskuzije nas je zmotil zanimiv parček, ki je prišel mimo, da s m o obmolknili kot na komando. Poleg dvesto- ali tristofuntne dame, ki je bila zavita v dragocen kožuh, je cepetal približno sto-funtni možiček, v pošvedranih čevljih in lahkem, oguljenem površniku. Pa nam je pomežiknil navihani ribniški član naše skupine:
“Poglejte, fantje, na desni je živa prosperiteta, na levi pa tipična depresija.”
V Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, živi neki Joe Bourdage, ki je oče 25 otrok. Neki dan je na njegovem dvorišču pristala prava štorklja, ki je imela ranjeno perut, in mož jo je vjel. Kaj je storil z njo, poročilo ne pove, a jaz si mislim svoje!

Več solnca
VSAK PO SVOJE
(Nadaljevanje iz 1. strani)
Večina vseh živih bitij ljudi solnce, ljubi njegovo jar-ko svetlobo in oživljajočo gorkoto. Pravega življenja in življenjske sreče si brez solnca sploh predstavljati ne moremo. V meglenih zimskih dneh se nam nekako zdi, kot bi se nahajali v pregnanstvu v neprijazni tuji deželi. V zaduh-lih in zaprašenih prostorih sanjamo o lepših dnevih, ki so bili, in hrepenimo, da bi se kmalu .zopet vrnili.
V tem se dnevi podaljšajo in omogočijo solncu, da prežene z mrtvilom nasičene zimske megle, kar pomeni nastop novega, bogatega življenja. Pravo življenje, kot ga razumemo mi, more eksistirati in se košatiti le v sijaju luči in prijetni gorkoti solnčnih žarkov. Potrebujemo luči, potrebujemo solnčnih žarkov, bolj kot se mnogokrat sami zavedamo.
Solnce je neizčrpen vir zdravja in življenjske energije, zato bi morali iz tega vira piti, kadarkoli nam prilike dopuščajo. Tekom mrkih zimskih dni smo izčrpali rezerve naših moči in zdravja, in porabljeno rezervo je treba zdaj nadomestiti. Pojdimo torej na solnce in sveži zrak, kadarkoli ram prilike dopuščajo. Poglejmo cvetlico, ki je preživela dolgo zimo v zaprti, mračni sobi, kako bleda in slabotna je. Pomladno solnce pa jo okrepi in ji privabi moč in zdravo .zelenilo v liste in mladike.
Podobno bo pomladno solnce okrepilo naše telo in nam pričaralo rudečico na bleda lica. Naša J. S. K. Jednota potrebuje zdrave člane, ker le ti so kapital, ki se dobro obrestuje. Prav tako ali še bolj pa je v interesu vsakega posameznega člana, da si ohrani zdravje in življenjsko energijo do najskrajnejših mej. Vsak član naj bi pomnil, da je. njegovo zdravje vitalnega pomena za njega in za njegove drage, ki so mu najbližji. Tudi za Jednoto je važno njegovo zdravje, vendar ne tako važno, kot za njega samega. Za Jednoto pomeni prezgodnja smrt njenega člana sicer izgubo, vendar ne prevelike katastrofe; za prizadetega pa je izguba nepopravljiva.
Ako torej Jednota potom svojega glasila priporoča članom, da si skušajo ohraniti zdravje do najskrajnejših mej, oela to res v svojem interesu, a še bolj v interesu članov kot posameznikov.
Luči in solnca pa potrebujemo mi vsi tudi v drugih ozirih. Luč je simbol .znanosti in izobrazbe, solnce je simbol poštenosti, gorkega prijateljstva in veselega razpoloženja. K življenjski sreči je to prav tako potrebno, kot so potrebni gorki solnčni žarki bujnemu, zdravemu in bogatemu življenju v naravi.
Bodimo torej dobri, odkritosrčni prijatelji vsem, ki to zaslužijo, odpirajmo na široko okna žarkom znanosti in izobrazbe in razsipljimo solnčno razpoloženje kjerkoli in kadarkoli se nam ponudi prilika. S tem bomo dokazali, da smo pravi otroci solnca in bomo pomagali k življenjski sreči nas samih in vseh, ki pridejo z nami v dotiko. Kot člani J. S. K. Jednote bomo s tem delali tudi najbolj uspešno reklamo za našo organizacijo.

Zvončki že naznanjajo prihod pomladi celo v našem zakajenem Clevelandu. In pomislite, prve zvončke (snowdrops) letošnje sezone sem ugledal baš na vrti-ču slovenske naselbine. Pa sem se ustavil in jih gledal in premišljeval, da-li je resnica ali me varajo moje oči. Bila je resnica. Nad rjavo trato so pozvanjali prvi beli zvončki, prednje straže in glasniki pomladi. Danes ko to pišem je 6. marca in prvi beli zvonček sezone, ki se je razcvetel na prostem, mi prijazno kima iz male vaze na pisalni mizi. Sezona je še zgodnji} in snežna burja bo morda še večkrat zaplesala svoje divje plese, toda beli zvončki so že tu in pozvanjajo na čast bližajoči se mladi Vesni, in—“what the... do we care now!”

Rojaki in rojakinje, s katerimi se poznam z mojih večletnih potovanj, se me pogosto spominjajo s kako kartico ;.od - tu ali
tam, posebno, če napravijo izlet v Canado, v Evropo ali kam drugam v inozemstvo. Vsake take kartice sem odkritosrčno vesel, čeprav me včasi pri tem tudi nekoliko “fovšija” lomi.
Proti koncu pretečenega pred-pusta sem dobil kartico od neke rojakinje, ki se je mudila v Ma-tamoros, Mexico, kar me je prav prijetno iznenadilo, kajti kartice iz Mehike so redke, in take lepe znamke nosijo! Na kartici je bilo napisano: “Wish you were here,” in podpis. Pa me je kar malo “fovšija” prijela, da ne morem biti. Ko pa sem razglednico obrnil, videl sem sliko velikega pokopališča, in moje veselo iznenadenje se se izpre-mcnilo v pelinasto razočaranje.
Nikoli nisem dotični rojakinji nič hudega in nič dobrega storil, zato sem bil in sem še mnenja, da takih voščil iz Mehike ne zaslužim, niti v predpustu!
Pa včasi premišljujem, če ni v pravem tisti moj prijatelj-pe-simist, ki trdi, da so vse ženske naravne sovražnice moških, katerim žele in privoščijo vse hudo, predvsem pa, da. bi kar najhitreje pogagali. Po njegovem mnenju so v tem oziru vse ženske enake, od krokodilasto grdih, do onih, ki imajo najbolj zapeljive oči, najbolj rožnata usteča in najbolj žametna ličica.
Jaz o tem še nisem prepričan, toda premišljujem.

Odgovor: Nobene nevarnosti ni za vas. Res je, da sedaj de-portirajb precej inozemcev. Ali to so i nožem c i, ki so prišli v to deželo nezakonitim potom po dnevu 1. julija 1924, ali pa taki, ki so bili za dlje časa kaznovani in obsojeni v ječo, oziroma taki, ki so postali blazni tekom petih let po prihodu. Inozemec, ki ni prekršil kriminalnih zakonov te dežele in ki je živel v tej deželi več kot pet let, se nima bati deportacije, FLIS.
grmeči aplavzi in množica duh-tečega cvetja, vse to je nedvomno prepričalo oba, da zna narod ceniti, kadar se mu poda nekaj dobrega. Pa je narod to tudi pričakoval, kajti poset okrog 750 oseb se lahko za te čase in razmere imenuje impozanten. — Koncertu je sledila prosta zabava v spodnjih prostorih S. N. Doma, ki se je zaključila šele v zgodnjih jutranjih urah. Tako navdušenje se ne pomiri tako zlepa.
Slovenski Cleveland, ki je
največja slovenska naselbjna na ameriškem kontinentu, se je končno zavedel svojih moči in zmožnosti- tudi na pevskem polju. V nedeljo 1. marca je clevelandska Slovenka Miss Perda-nova nastopila v samostojnem koncertu v Slovenskem Delavskem Domu v Clevelandu; o prireditvi je bila kritika v splošnem zelo laskava. V soboto 7. marca sta priredili koncert v Girardu, O., clevelandski pevki Josie Lausche-Welf in Mary Udovich. Glasom poročil je koncert zelo dobro izpadel. V nedeljo 8. marca je nastopil v samostojnem koncertu v Slovenskem NaVodnem Domu v Clevelandu Mr. Louis Belle, o katerega lepem uspehu je poro-čano na drugem mestu. Pri vseh treh prireditvah je bilo tudi spremljevanje na klavir poverjeno clevelandskim Slovencem.
Vse tri prireditve so bile dobro obiskane, kar dokazuje, da je tudi občinstvo spoznalo zmožnosti svojih Homačih talentov in jih začelo primerno ceniti.

Dobrodelna akcija v pomoč rojakom, ki so vsled brezdel-nosti v naj večji potrebi, se je organizirala te dni v Clevelandu.

Pevec Mr. Belle je obljubil dati v to svrho 10'£ čistega dobička od nedeljskega koncerta, dramsko društvo Ivan Cankar, pa je obljubilo polovico čistega dobička od veseloigre “Vozelj,” katero bo vprizorilo 22. marca.

Železniški sporazum med Jugoslavijo in Madjarsko. Jugoslavija in Madjarska sta dosegli sporazum glede vickialnih železnic. Jugoslavija dobi 1700 kilometrov železniške proge in plača za to 350,000,000 dinarjev ter obresti po 6'/< za dobo od leta 1919 do izplačila te svo-te.

Tržaška policija je dne 13. februarja izpustila na svobodo pred dvema mesecema aretiranega Andreja čoka, bivšega šolskega upravitelja zadnje slovenske šole pri Sv. Jakobu v Trstu. Kakor znano, so ga .pred meseci aretirali v zvezi z delovanjem te šole, obtožujoč ga, da je rovaril proti državi. Oči-vidno mu niso mogli dokazati niti najmanjše krivde, ker so ga sedaj izpustili, sicer bi z drugimi osumljenci vred trohnel v rimskih zaporih.

Člane društva “Vsi za enega, eden za vse,” št. 171 JSKJ, obveščam, da je bilo na seji 15. februarja zaključeno, da se mora prihodnje seje udeležiti vsak član tega društva. Naša prihodnja seja se bo vršila v nedeljo 15. marca ob dveh popoldne v navadnih prostorih. Na dnevnem redu bodo važne zadeve, tikajoče se društvenega napredka in članstva v splošnem. Dolžnost vsakega člana ^e, da se omenjene seje udeleži.
Dalje prosim člane, da plačajo svoje asesmente najkasneje do 25. dne v mesecu. Kdor tega ne bo storil, bo suspendiran, kar ni nikomur ljubo in za nikogar varno. Vsak bi se moral zavedati, da izgubi bolniško in drugo podporo, ako ga v času suspendacije obišče nesreča. Ako kateri član ne bi moge! plačati, naj pride ria sejo in apelira na članstvo, da se založi zanj iz društvene blagajne. Oni člani, ki društvu dolgujejo in so pričeli zopet delati, naj po možnosti poravnajo svoje dolgove pri društvu. Le tako bomo mogli še v bodoče pomagati tistim, ki ne morejo sami plačati, ako sc bodo obrnili na društvo za tozadevno pomoč.
Tisti člani, ki kaj dolgujejo tajniku ra asesmentu, namreč, da je on iz svojega žepa založil zanje, so prošeni, da poravnajo to kakor hitro mogoče. Ni lepo, če se pusti tajnika čakati en mesec ali več na njegov lastni denar, ko jc bil tako dober, da je na prošnjo člana založil zanj.
K sklepu še enkrat poživljam vse člane in članice našega društva, da se gotovo udeležijo seje 15. marca, da ne bo treba pozneje nikomur spraševati, kaj jc bilo na seji sklenjeno. Na razpravi bo vrlo važna zadeva, in vsak bo imel priliko, da glede iste izreče svoje mnenje. — Z bratskim pozdravom, Tomo Šitnrak, tajnik.

G. W.’s Tied for Lead
Cleveland, O.—It looks as though the George Washington Lodge (No. 180, SSCU) is going to be the Inter-Lodge League champion. Arcadians were given a severe trouncing Sunday, March 8, when the Cherry Tree Choppers scored 2901 pins against 2665, while the Spartans, heretofore league leaders, lost two out of three to the KSKJ’s. Spartans and the George Washingtons are now tied for first place. The league is drawing to a close, with the Spartans facing some tough opposition that the Presidents have already played. For the remainder of the schedule the G. W.’s are playing the second division teams, while the Spartans, have Sokols and Collinwood Boosters (SSCU) to meet, both of whom are dangerous rivals.
Liindy Kotnik, of 800 fame, came through with 636, while Arko hit 606 and Kramer 604. Opalek gathered 553 and Kromar 502. Some combination. Lindy hit games of 222, 237 and 177, while Kramer hit the third 600 con-sccutive three-game series.
Betsy Ross (No. 186, SSCU) lost three to the Clairwoods, last year league champions. Skufca was high with 226 for the losers. The Flag-makers made a creditable showing, all games being bowled over 800.
It was an off-day for the Collinwood Boosters (No. 188, SSCU), with a number of the regulars missing. Hence the three-game defeat by the Utopians. F. Berzin and L. Kausek appeared on; the roster for the first time this season, rolling some nice games; especially Berzin, who came through with 230. Krall, who rolls around 600 for three-game series, was sadly missed.

DOC FORTUN
PITTSBURGHER BASKETBALL COACH IS OPTIMIST
Pittsburgh, Pa,—'Doc Fortun has it all figured out that his basketball team has just hit its stride again after riding the toboggan since the Forresters’ game, and that it will be at its best for the remaining contests this season.
Doc Fortun explains, “The boys have had a rough schedule, and they were pretty tirea.” Doc Fortun said following the game with Manchester, a league team, “Look at our schedule and see how it indicates that we should go great in our remaining games. We are in better condition now, and that means a good deal, too. I am confident we will wind up our Chicago trip in a blaze of glory.”
F. J. KRESS, Chairman, SSCU Athletic Board.
Chisholm,	Minn.—Jubileers	(No.
215, SSCU) basketball team has played twenty games this season and lost but three. The eight players that comprise the squad are all high school graduates and participated in at least one athletic event during their school days. A general description of each player, that will travel to Chicago, 111., to participate in the first national SSCU basketball tournament, is given below:
Mike “Klutzo” Enrico, star forward and all-Minnesota state forward in 1929; small but fast, this midget knows his basketball. Watch him go in the national SSCU tournament.
Mike “Mac” Lagather, paired perfectly with Mike Enrico, but just the opposite in stature. He is tall and rangy, with a good eye for the basket. He needs watching and is one of the three miners on the team. ■
Mello “Soak” Lagather, brother of Mac, plays center and is very dangerous under the basket. Another miner.
Paul “Zeke” Perkovich, running; guard and dribble artist. “Boy,” can this man dribble that ball! As a good floor man he also has a dead eye for the basket. The third iron miner.
Frank “Klotz” Gornick. A six-footer and a good match to his mate, “Zeke.” These two boys start the ball rolling and they sure make it roll. Not flashy, but just consistent. He needs no watching.
These five regulars will give their opponents all they’ve got; to really appreciate their qualities one must see them in action. Last but not least are our substitutes. The following boys can fill almost any position as well as the regulars.
John “Poxy” Kochevar is just a six-footer and plays either center or guard. A smooth player and one who gets his share of points.
Louis “Ben” Valentini is the smallest of the group, but makes up for it in speed and a dead eye.
Frank “Tubba” 'Centa, player-man-ager, is a stocky fellow, but fast and dangerous. The only playing manager in captivity. We might havž him in the lineup, so get some dope on our Manager Tubba.
As a whole, this team should easily win the national championship. Jubileers and other SSCU lodges of Minnesota are giving our team their wholehearted support,twith the sincere hope that the boys come on top in the tournament. So long until we meet in Chicago.

Jubileers En Route
I?y Richard Kelly
Chisholm, Minn.—Chisholm Jubileers (SSCU, No. 215) are finally en route to Chicago in quest of the national championship. Furthermore, they boarded the correct train and where, why, and when they are going.
This is news because just prior to Feb. 20, which date the Jubileers had unfortunately ascertained as the date for the tournament in Chicago, the Jubileers had their grips packed, their train route selected, and fresh haircuts when a flood of telegrams, air mail letters and other correspondence from Louis Kolar, athletic commissioner, averted a goose chase.
The Jubileers have yet to discover what enlightened them as to calling Feb. 20 the date for the championship games in Chicago. But, nevertheless, today the Jubileers are in civilian clothes gazing at the scenery from the windows of a Chicago-bound train.
Chicago will be a thrill to all eight players but Frank Gornick, vice president of the Jubileers, who has been in Chicago before. Other members traveling are Capt. Mike Enrico, Mello Lagather, Mike Lagather, Paul Perkovich, John Kochevar Jr., Louis Valentini and Manager Frank Centa Jr.
The Jubileers have won 18 and lost but 3 games for the season. They won the Mesaba range championship by defeating Marble, 42 to 30, in the semifinals and drubbing Keewatin, 26 to 17. They finished second in the league standings, which included eight teams. Keewatin was first and defeated the Jubileers twice during the regular schedule. Marble is the only other team to triumph over the Jubileers, winning 25 to 15.
In the SSCU league the Jubileers won five games and lost none, for a perfect record, which is as follows:
Jubileers 35, Ely Sacred Hearts 9.
Jubileers 35, Ely Arrowheads 20.
Jubileers 21, Ely Sacred Hearts 16.
Jubileers 21, Ely Arrowheads 19.
Jubileers 21, Ely Arrowheads 20.
A tremendous sendoff was given the Jubileers by the senior SSCU lodge, the St. Joseph’s, which augmented their expenses with a substantial donation. All of Chisholm will watch the progress of the Jubileers with interest.

PREMETENI KMET |
(Ruska pravljica)
V daljnjem carstvu 'nekje v deveti deželi je živel kmet. Imel je tri sinove: dva pametna in enega bedaka. Zgodilo se je, da jih je oče poslal orat. Orali so in orali prav do večera, tako da so morali prenočiti na polju. Za večerjo jc bilo treba skuhati kašo, toda kje naj dobe ognja? Starejši brat jej splezal na drevo, pogledal na vse strani in zapazil v daljavi grmado; zlezel je j z drevesa in šel v tisto stran. Prišel je ! k sivemu starcu: “Zdravstvuj, dobri mož! Daj mi ognja!” — “Ne, brat, iz-prva povej nekaj, česar nikoli ni bilo in nikoli ne bo, potem ga dobiš; če pa tega ne napraviš, ti izrežem jermen iz hrbta.” — Seljak mu je jel pripovedovati, toda kar je povedal, vse se je bilo že kdaj zgodilo. Starec je planil nanj, mu izrezal jermen in ga izpustil. Tedaj je šel po ogenj drugi brat. Temu se je primerilo isto. Ko se je vrnil, je dejal mlajšemu: “Pojdi ti, brat, kličejo te!” — Mlajši je šel. “Zdravstvuj, dobri mož! Daj mi ognja!” — “Povej nekaj nemogočega, potem ga dobiš, sicer pa ti izrežem jermen iz hrbta.” — “Dobro, starček, samo prekinjaj me nikar! Če me prekineš, ti jaz izrežem i tri.” — In je pričel pripovedovati: “Naš očka in mati imata z menoj vred tri si-! nove. Mimo tega imamo pri nas še konja Šarca. Mnogokrat sem jahal na njem v les po drva in jih vozil domov. Nekoč se mi je primerilo, da sem med ježo vtaknil sekiro za pas; konj je dirjal, sekira pa ga je bila po hrbtu. Toliko časa je sekala, da mu je odsekala zadnji del. Tri leta sem potem jez-daril na samem prednjem delu, dokler nisem nekoč v lesu zagledal zadka, ko je ravno mulil travo. Skočil sem, ga ujel ki prisil k prednjemu delu. Poslej sem jahal na njem še tri leta. Brata sta bila zmerom z menoj. Nekoč smo potovali ne vem kam. Prišli smo na trg in izpraševali:	‘Dobri ljudje,
povejte nam, kaj je poceni in kaj dra- i go?’ — ‘Za morjem so krave poceni in i muhe drage! za muho z mušico dajo , kravo s teličkom, za debele obade ve- j like bike.’ — Nalovili smo tri vreče muh in prišli do sinjega morja. Kako naj zdaj pridemo čezenj? Sinje morje je globoko in široko. Brata sta jokala in obupavala, meni pa 'ni bilo nič in pel sem; sedel sem na eno izmed vreč, * preplaval morje in nakupil tri črede krav in bikov. Zdaj pa nisem vedel, kako nazaj? Če najamem ladje, bo predrago, če zapodim čredo v morje, mi polovica utone. Zato sem zgrabil prvo kravo za rep, jo nekajkrat zavihtil in vrgel. Enkrat ali dvakrat se je v zraku zavrtila in že je bila na drugi strani. Tako sem zmetal tja vso čredo; ostal je le še en bik. Prijel sem ga za rep, si ga krepko ovil okoli roke, napel vse sile in zamahnil. Komaj sem iztegnil roko, že sva z bikom vkup zletela čez morje. Tedaj sem čul, da v nebesih ljudje hodijo bosi, zato sem sklenil iti tja in tam prodajati čevlje:	Poklal sem krave in
bike, vzel s seboj kože in splezal v nebesa. Tja priti ni nič kaj posebnega, toda kako nazaj? Vendar pa sem se takoj domislil: kakih deset kož mi je še ostalo; razrezal sem jih v jermene, jih privezal h kolu, zabil kol v oblake in se pričel spuščati navzdol. Do zemlje je bilo še daleč, ko mi je mahoma zmanjkalo jermenja. Pa nisem nič tožil, samo malo okrog sem pogledal in zapazil popa, ki je sušil oves. Rogoz-nik je letel kvišku, jaz sem ga lovil in pričel plesti vrv; pletel sem in pletel, dokler nisem spletel mrtve podgane. Sicer ne vem zakaj, toda podgana je namah oživela, zgrabila za vrv in jo jela grizti, dokler je ni popolnoma pregrizla. Padel sem in se pogreznil v blato. Prišla je lisica, si zvila na moji glavi gnezdo in skotila sedem mladičev. Mimo je šel seri volk in odnesel mladiče:	‘Po	lisico še pridem in
gnezdo razkopljem!’ — Med tem sem izvlekel roke iz blata in ko je prišel seri volk razkopavat gnezdo, sem ga pograbil za rep. Tju-tju-tju! Volk jc hotel zbežati, potegnil je prvič, izvleke! je mene, potegnil je drugič, odtrgal si je rep. Vzel sem rep, ga razparal in našel v njem škatlico.

THE MAN HUNT
The sun had been shining all day on the two snow tigers outside the door of the cave, and Ken Roberts had been expecting to see them sink inch by inch into a melted puddle of their own snow;.and this is what he thought had happened when his friend Pierre uttered a cry of surprise and alarm. Ken stopped his work on a snow model of .a reindeer and ran to the icy entrance of the hole in the cliffs which he had fitted up as his “studie.”	.
The tigers were still standing, not as solid as ever, but just as fierce and real-looking. Pierre, however, was so excited that he stammered when he spoke.
“Come on, ma fren’,” he cried, in his French-Canadian dialect. “Me an’ you ees gon’ run 'way from dees place.” “Why should we run away?” demanded Ken.
“Eef you don’ geev no nevaire minds for two blood-hounds, all right.”
“Two bloodhounds? Where?”
Pierre pointed to where two men and two dogs were crossing the ice, headed

handed it to the man. When he saw that it was from the bank, his hands began to tremble, and when he iiad finished reading it he sank weakly into a chair and put his head on the table.
“At last,” he sighed. “It has ccme at last!”
Ken went to the door and waved for1 the sergeant, who came in and addressed Air. Walters very respectfully.
“You’ve been a hunted man, sir,” he said. “What with crooks trying to rob you of your invention, and so-callcd friends hounding you to let them put it on the market so that they could steal the profits. I’m glad you have it protected, sir, and the money is coming in at last.”
“Thank you,” replied Mr. Walters, who by now had re.overea his composure. “We will start back at once, of course. Now I’ll be abie to do the things ! have always wanted to do. Your name is Kenneth, isn’t it?” lie asked.
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, Kenneth, how would you like to go away to school where you could make figures in marble instead of in snow, and learn how to carve great statues ?”
“I always wanted to do that,” said Ken. “I’d work hard if I got a chance at it.”.
“I know you would,” was the reply. “And Pierre, what would you like to
do?”
“By gosh, Mistane Walter, I don’t know. Ma gran’papa he was wan’ of dus man who go on top of de snow and catch de bear foot in wan big mouse trap. I think I lak to do dat, me, dis fella.”
“Oh, a trapper?”
“I think dat’s right.”
“Then 1 guess I W*U send you to a trading post in Canada to a friend of mine”—and that’s exactly what happened. Now, when Pierre and Ken write to each other, they first tell what has happened, and then they pass a few words of friendly joking. Ken always asks: “Have you caught any bears yet, Pierre?” and Pierre’s pet remark is “Eef you ever wan’ any snow, Ken, ask me an’ I don’ mean 1 nevaire mind.”

The Man W ho Had Visited Them at the Cave Came Out With a Shotgun
toward the cave. At first Ken thought they were frinds coming to visit them, but as the men got closer he realized his mistake. The dogs were straining at their leashes as though they had picked up the scent and were eager to run it down; while one of the men turned back his coat lapel, show'cd his badge and said that he was Sergeant Morley of the Secret Service.
“Well, where’s he?” was his first uestion.
“Where's who?” Ken stammered. “The man.”
“What man?”
“Now listen here, young fellow,” aid the detective, sharply. “We’ve ecu following this trail for two days, nd these bloodhounds never make a listake. The man for whom we’re oking is around here somewhere, lello, what’s this?” he cried, as he aw the entrance. “A cave, eh?”
That seemed to settle it. He ap-roached cautiously and stood at the oorway.
“Henry Walters,” he called. “Are ou in there?”
“No use calling,” put in Ken. “The ave is empty.”
“We’ll see about that,” said the ergeant.
The two men entered the room fol-owed by Ken and Pierr. They could ee quite well, for the cave had great agged holes in the roof through which he light came. The dogs sniffed everywhere; but everyone could see at i glance that Ken was right. The man he detectives wanted was not in the :ave.
Suddenly Sergeant Morley gave a :ry of astonishment. He had been ooking at the snow figures on display n the cave and had com upon the nodel of a man’s head. He turned to <cnt and asked.
“Who made this head?”
“I did, sir.”
“When did you make it?” was the iext question.
“This morning. I did that first and then started on this reindeer, which isn’t finished yet.”
“So I see. Well, now comes the important question. Did you copy this face from somebody you know, or did you imagine it?”
“It’s somebody I know,” was Ken’s reply.
“Who?”
Ken faltered.
“I—I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” cried the sergeant. “First you say you do and then you say you don’t. Which is it?” “I mean I don’t know his name, sir. He came here yesterday on his way to the island where he said he lived. He liked my snow statues and stayed all afternoon to watch me work. Last night Pierre and I made a bed in which
tective. “You see, he doesn’t know why I’m coming, and until he finds out, lie’s j likely to be hostile. That's why 1 want you boys to go first and take him a message.”
“Den he’s gon shoot us, eh?” cried Pierre. “I don’t tink I’m gon’ lak dat, me.”	'
“You’ve got to do it,” was the sergeant’s reply. “You’ll be sorry if you don’t.”
“Maybe I’ll be sorried if I do,” put in Ken, quietly.
“What do you mean?” queried the sergeant, in surprise.
“Because it looks as though we’re going to get him into trouble. Even if he is a criminal, when he lets us in the shack he is letting us in as friends, and it doesn’t seem right to bite at him like snakes after we get in there.” “Dat’s me too,” put in Pierre.
“Well,” replied the sergeant. “1 don’t know but what you’re right, and I’d be the last man to ask you to doublecross anyone who trusted you as a friend. But here, read this letter.”
It was from a big bank in New York, addressed to Henry Walters, Esquire, j to be delivered upon sigjit by the bearer whenever he should find the j man to whom it was addressed.
“Now,” said the detective, after Ken and Pierre had read the letter, “will you go now ?”
“I certainly will,” cried Ken.
“Me too,” put in Pierre.
“But if all this is true, why are you chasing him with bloodhounds?” asked | Ken. “He hasn’t done anything.”
“I know he hasn’t. But if he isn’t in New York to sign some papers by the end of this month, then he loses everything. That’s why we had to track him down like a common crook.”
The two boys nodded their under- j standing and started toward the shack. [ As they approached, the door opened and the man who had visited them at the cave came out with a shotgun. When he recognized the two boys, he made no move to raise the gun to his shoulder, but stood quite motionless j until they came close enough to talk.
“I didn’t expect a visit from you two boys so soon,” he said. “But I’m gbd you came. Won’t you come in and see my shack?”
“Yes, thanks,” replied Ken. “We didn’t expect to cotnc here so soon ourselves,” he explained, when they got inside. “You see, Mr. Walters—”
The man caught him by the arm. “Where did you learn my name?” he demanded.
It was Pierre who answered.
“Don’ geev no nevaire mind ’bout dat, Mistaire Walter, but dat name she’s on de letter.”
“What letter?”
Ken took it from his pocket and
“BRE’R” COON
Washing the hands before eating is very commendable and not at all unusual, but washing the food before eating it is a little out of the ordinary. But that is exactly what the coon does; taking his catch in both hands, he sloshes it under water and rubs and scrubs it as if his life depended on getting it clean. But all this washing can hardly be for cleanliness sake, if it was, he would be more particular about the quality of water he uses. The water may be absolutely filthy and evil-smelling, but he uses it as if it
hound strikes his trail. In some respects he resembles a bear; he walks like one, comes down a tree backward; and he places the entire sole of the foot on the ground in walking, something few animals do. In fact, the resemblance to bruin is so striking that he is sometimes called the “bear’s little brother.”
He is inclined to be nocturnal in his habits and does most of his prowling, sleeps away the daylight hours snugly coiled up on a bed of leaves in the hollow of some tall tree. In extremely

was crystal clear and freshly dipped from a mountain spring.
If lie happens to be in confinement, where no water is available, he will retire to a corner of the cage and go through all the motions of washing, with hands as dry as a chip. He certainly has a lively imagination, if nothing else.	i
In a wild state he haunts the banks of streams and the markin of lakes and ponds. In such places he has regular beaten paths that he travels. He is fond of low, damp ground, in the vicinity of water, as he knows that it is there he is apt to stumble up on a lunch of some kind. His appetite is all embracing and his menu varied. He is daft about thing’s that he gets out of water, such as frogs, tadpoles, shrimps, and shellfish; but he does not refuse birds or their eggs and I regret to say, even their babies. He is also fond of grubs, snails, grasshoppers, small snakes, or any fish he Is able to snatch out of their native element.
For dessert, he usually takes some kind of fruit, preferably wild grapes, or persimmons. In the South, when you find a clump of persimmon trees, you are apt to find a coon there abouts. Corn is a delicacy he can never resist, so, naturally, the farmer does not love him.
He is slow-motioned and deliberate, and seldom gets in a hurry unless a

THE MANATEE
The manatee, at the time when the Spaniards came to what is now Florida, and when Ptfnce De Leon was splashing around seeking the Fountain of Youth, was common in. the large rivers of the coast and gulf states; but now, as far as is known his range is restricted to the rivers and lagoons of southeastern Florida, and even there e is becoming a rare sight.

But no one can blame him, as he has all the time there is. He has no engagements to worry him; no busi-
years ago the Indian River fairly swarmed herds of mantees. They are so bulky, and move so slowly, that they make a tempting target for amateur sportsmen. So the time may not be far distant when, if you would see one, you would have to journey to some museum and study a stuffed specimen.
The soft, languorous air that hangs over the Florida Everglades, seem to have gotten into the blood of the animals and birds that live there. They fall into the way of moving slowly, resting often, and giving themselves up to the luxury of day-dreaming and dozing. The alligator will lie all day on a

“My boy,” cried the sergeant. “The man who slept in this cave last night and whose face you copied when you made this statue is Henry Walters, the man we want!”
The bloodhounds were taken outside and allowed to search for the new' scent, and soon they were leading the men in a new direction across the ice. Ken and Pierre were asked by the .sergeant to follow.
Soon they came to the island and struck through the woods along a narrow path deep with snow. The hounds were put on leash again and kept close. When the shack could be seen on the trail ahead of them, the sergeant called a halt.
“We’ll stay here with the-dogs,” he said to his man. “The two boys will go the remainder of the way themselves.”
“Maybe you think lie’s gon’ shoot dose dog, eh?” queried Pierre, speaking for the first time.
“He might shoot me,” replied the de-
cold parts of the country he hibernates for at least a part of the winter; but through most of his range he cannot afford to waste time sleeping, so he stays up through the year and is very wide awake, as you will find if you try to come upon him unawares.
He is of an investigating turn of mind and wants to find out things that he does not understand, wants to handle them, turn them about and see just what they are. So the hunter fastens to the trigger of the trap something that flashes and shines and while examining it, he is likely to step in the steel trap hidden under the water— and that is what curiosity does.
If his fur was not so valuable he would have fewer troubles. In the early days, a coon-skin cap, with the tail hanging down like a plume, was considered the very top of the style in men’s headgear.
Unlike many flesh-eating animals, the'coon is a regular stay-at-home and when a light streak appears in the east, showing that another day is on the way, no matter where he may have spent the night, whether down in a persimmon bottom, or in a farmer’s henhouse, he comes back to-his hollow tree and the warm bed he knows is waiting for him and stays indoors until the whip-poor-will sets up its plaintive call and the bull-bats begin to cut circles against the western glow.

The other chiefs were also interested and pleased, and wondered if they were mistaken. The chiefs asked General Drew if there were soldiers with the cattle and would the general drive the cattle to them? He said yes, but he would bring them alone.
When he crossed the river he saw ten or fifteen braves following him. When he came to a plain he saw that he w'as near the fort, so he went in its direction. When the Indians saw this, they gave chase. At Pawnee Fork, two miles from the fort, a government wagon was seen in the distance by these Indians.
The only thing for them to do was to turn, and this they did. Unfortunately, the government wagon was too near. The occupants of the wagon began firing at the Indians, killing many. The Indians, seeing this, turned and fled. Out of the many Indians that pursued General Drew, only eight were returning to their homes. You can be sure General Drew was glad that he was alive.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY
It was a cold March day in Long Island, New York, when Jimmie was trudging toward home wearily. He had been skating all afternoon with some friends and was very tired. As he walked along the street he saw an object lying on the sidewalk. It was a pocketbook.v He opened it and found a large sum of money and a card that read as follows: “Mrs. J. Smith, 304 St. Clair Ave.”
He then went quickly to the place. A few minutes later he was standing at the door of the home of Mrs. Smith. A maid led him into a large hall and said that Mrs. Smith would be down in a few minutes. When Mrs. Smith came down Jimmie told her that he had found her pocketbook. Mrs. Smith thanked him and Jimmie went out. About a week later Jimmie received a letter from Mrs. Smith with a check enclosed for $30.

THE STORY THAT WAS NOT TOLD
Once upon a time there were three brothers. Two of them werc stupid and the third was not wise. Two of them had hardly any clothes and the third had nothing to wear.
They took their guns to go shooting. Two had broken guns,' but the third would not shoot. They all shot at a rabbit, but the rabbit ran away. They picked up the rabbit that they had not shot and took it to their grandmother’s house to borrow a pot to cook the rabbit in.
Their grandmother was not at home, but she said come in. I have three pots, two of them are broken and the third has no bottom. They took the pot without a bottom to cook the rabbit than had run away. While it was boiling in the kitchen they asked their grandmother who was not at home if they could have some nuts from her nut tree. Yes, said the grandmother who was not at ho'me. Two of the trees are dead and the third has never had any nuts. Take as many as you like.
They shook the tree that never had nuts and'soon had enough to eat with the rabbit that had run away. At dinner their grandmother who was not at home cooked the nuts that came from the tree that never had nuts.

TENDING CHILDREN
I was sitting on the porch one cool, silent night when my mother called me and told me to watch Mrs. Brown’s children because she was going to visit her mother.
/ “All right, I’ll go,” I said. “1 suppose she wouldn’t want me if I wasn’t going to the game.”
“Hush, you better go right now,” said mother.
It w'as 8 o'clock when Mrs. Brown closed the door behind her.
1 faced her children. Jimmy was 0 years old, with brown hair a-nd brown eyes to match. June was 4 years old and had blond, curly hair. Billy was one year old and had a set of dimples in his cheeks.
“Let’s play war,” said Jimmy.
“No, let’s play win-a-kong-a-wosy,” said June, in her best baby-talk.
“We’ll play war first,” I said.
After I had slightly boxed his ears, pressed his nose against the window, and warmed the seat of his pants, he quit playing, saying that he’d better get somebody his size. Now it was June’s turn to play ring-a-rong-a-rosy.
I clasped our hands together and turned her round and round until she was so dizzy she couldn’t walk or see straight. Now it was Billy’s turn. I didn’t want to hurt the helpless baby, so I tickled him until he cried.,
I went through all this trouble to make the children afraid of me, but still they wanted a story.
“All right,” I said, thinking of the good ghost story that was in my mind.
.Jinimy was old enough to understand it, but June and Billy could tell ! by my actions that it was a very spook-I ish story, as June expressed it.
THE STORY
“Once, way out in the country in a j big house an old man died. There were j many ghosts around this house in the : night.” I paused. The children looked ! around to make sure there were no ghosts behind them.
I put the light on dim and pulled a bedsheet over me and said in a gruff voice, “Come over here, I am hungry.” The children burst out into yells and screams, running around the room and hiding under tables and chairs.
I thought 1 was mean to do this. I knew it wasn’t the children’s fault that I had to miss the game. I quickly took the sheet off and turned the lights on. The children were as pale as' ghosts. My heart was full of pity for them. 1 gave them a glass of cold water and in a few minutes they were well again.
As the stove was still hot I baked some biscuits and made cocoa and we had a little party.
I put wee Billy to bed and decided to tell June and Jimmy the story of “Three Little Pigs.”
I sat in the armchair and nestled the children close to me. About halfway in my story the children nodded off to slumberland, knowing they were safe from any ghosts when snuggled into my arms.

WHAT I LIKE TO DO (Submitted by Josephine Chanko, No. 6ti, SSCU, Joliet, 111.)
I am a girl, -contented and free,
I like to lie under a tree:
With nothing else to do,
But gaze at the sky so blue.
I like to walk upon the hills
And see the wind whirl the windmills;
Like to watch th birds flying,
And to hear the trees sighing.
A very pretty sight is to watch the stars at night,
Shining down with all their might. Another thing I love to see,
Is the clouds floating above me.
When the sun shines bright all the day,
I like to run around and play,
And at night, when the moon shines bright,
I go to bed without a fight.

ACCORDION PLAYER
As I was listening to an accordion,
I dreamed of the time I would be playing one, too. I. made up my mind to be an accordion player. What worried me was the lack of money. I tried every way to earn money, but it seemed as though I would fail. At last one day, when I was on my way home my father gave me enough money to purchase an accordion. I am now taking lessons on it and think it the most wonderful instrument to play. When I am lonely I just take the accordion and play on it.

MY DREAM
1 had just .closed! my eyes .when I heard a voice say “Won’t you come along with me?” On the edge of my bed sat a fairy dressed in silver with a gold wand in her hand. I told her 1 would go. She waved her wand over me, and to my surprise, I had a pair of wings on my shoulders. We flew until we came to a castle of gold. Then the fairy and I flew to the princess’ chamber. The princess was a beautiful girl with hair as gold and as fair as a lily, and cheeks as red as a rose. The maid told us that dinner was ready. We were seated at the table when someone called that the queen was coming. We all rose in respect. I was just attacking a piece of turkey when I was awakened by my mother’s call to get up.

BIRDS
(Submitted by Mary Chanko, No. 65, SSCU, Joliet, 111.)
Of all the birds that I have seen I like the woodpecker best,
Because he doesn’t always peck,
But sometimes takes a rest.
I like the swallow, too,
But you’d better be careful
So	he doesn’t swallow you.
One bird that we should keep away from Is the sparrow;
Because he’s dangerous With his bow and arrow.
The wren is a nice little bird,
When scolding,
His voice can be heard.
The robin is a cute little fellow,
He has a red breast And a voice that is mellow.
The bird that sings the sweetest Is the oriole.
He never pours out his sorrow,
He only tells the joys of his soul.
A night bird is the owl.
Many times at night i’ve heard him howl.

Dragi g. urednik: Zopet hočem nekaj malega napisati za naš mladinski kotiček v Novi Dobi. Najprej sc vam prav iz srca lepo zahvalim za prelepo nagrado v svoti $3.00. Tako sem bila vesela, da vam ne morem opisati. Torej še enkrat prav lepa hvala. Zdaj pa pozdravljam vse člane mladinskega oddelka JSKJ in tudi urednika Nove Dobe.
ČUDNA MUCA
V	starem kraju v Jugoslaviji živi kmet Kerznar, ki ima lepo, sivkasto muco. Gospodar jo visoko ceni, ker mu pridno lovi miši in podgane. Vendar pa ima ta muca čudno lastnost, nikoli ne prede. Lahko jo božaš, kakor hočeš, muca ne da od sebe niti najmanjšega glasu.

THE CAT AND THE MOUSE
Once there was a cat in the barn Playing with a ball of yarn.
Soon she pricked up one ear And knew a mouse was near;
So she jumped into the hay,
And to herself she would say,
“What a good meal I will have today/' But the mouse, who was wise and gay, Didn’t come along that day.
So the old cat went away Saying, “Who wants that mouse anyway.”

More Juveniles Should Send In Articles
A certain number <»1 Juvenile members write regularly to the New Era and the names become familiar to the readers. Almost all of these young writers have received prizes at some time or other. I’erhaps not the first time their story appeared, but later on when the writing showed improvement.
“Practice makes perfect.” So the saying- goes. You, the Juveniles, should take great pride in having your names appear under the articles. So why not sit down and write on your experiences in school, at home, at play, in fact, on anything that your little heart desires. We should have a number of new names appear each month.
Seven cash prizes are offered each month. First prize is three dollars. Just imagine yourself winning three dollars for an article that appeared in I lie New Era. How proud you could be to your parents, classmates, and, yes, even to your teachers in school. Second prize is two dollars. Lots of girls and boys have to run a number of errands before two dollars is earned. And besides there are live one-dollar prizes just waiting lor worthy Juvenile members that take the trouble of sending in their stories to appear in print with their name signed underneath.
Your article need not l>t. long to win a prize. Be brief. Just write what you think, to the best of your ability. Bui by all means be original. 1)0 NOT COPY from newspapers, magazines, school books or from any source.
Nothing gives the editor greater pleasure than to have a number of Juvenile members send in articles that are really written by themselves. Try your hand at writing. It may not be so good the first time, but don’t let that discourage you. Just keep on try-ing.

hotel kar izmuzati, češ, naj Rdeči križ skrbi za prizadete, vlada da nima denarja v take svrhe. Seveda federalna blagajna rabi denar za vzdrževanje prohibicije. Če ne bi bilo prohibicije, bi veliki “butlegarji” menda pomrli od gladu; morda bi bil še kakšen kongresnik med njimi. Ameriški narod je jako potrpežljiv, ker rajši gleda, da številni posamezniki trpijo pomanjkanje ali celo gladu umirajo, kot da bi se odločil in izpremenil sistem, ki prote-žira le nekatere, velikim množicam pa je krivičen. — S pozdravom,

Chicago, 111. Da ne bo kdo mislil, da smo se v Chicagu že zadušili med samimi dobrotami, katere uživamo v tej slavni inženirjevi prosperiteti, se jaz malo oglasim. Največ se zabavamo in “preživljamo” z obljubami, ki smo jih slišali pred volitvami. Dela je čimdalje manj in tako tudi jela. Stari pregovor pravi, da kdor ne dela, naj tudi ne je, toda dandanes je narobe svet. Delavci, ki so še pri moči, da bi lahko prijeli za vsako delo, kakor tudi starejši, ki so že napol izčrpani, ne dobijo dela, ker ga ni. Zato jim pa tudi življenjskih potrebščin primanjkuje. Tisti pa, ki še niso nikoli težko delali in jim tudi danes ni treba za delo gledati, imajo vsega v izobilju. Sami dostikrat ne vedo, kam bi šli, da bi lažje zapravili tisočake, katere so jim skupaj spravili tisti delavci, ki hodijo danes od tovarne do tovarne prosit za delo, ali pa stoje dolge ure pred dobrodelnimi zavodi, da dobe skodelico “čorbe,” da lažje počakajo druzega dne, ko pojdejo zop^t v vrsto čakat. Najbolj žalostno pri vsem tem pa je, da delavci tudi še zdaj nečejo začeti misliti s svojimi možgani, ampak so zadovoljni, da drugi zanje mislijo. Lep primer za to smo imeli pretečeni mesec v Chicagu za časa primarnih županskih volitev. Za cirkuško> kampanjo je bilo dosti denarja na razpolago, za nezaposlene delavce pa ni nobene pomoči od nikoder. Želeti je, da bi delavci vsaj meseca aprila oddali svoje glasove za tistega kandidata, ki bi vpošteval, da smo tudi delavci ljudje.
Kot je bilo že poročano v Nobi Dobi, priredi naše žensko društvo Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ, 2. maja svojo pomladno veselico. Vršila se bo v Poljski Sokolski dvorani na 1921 W. 22d St. Kakor vselej, bo veselični odbor skrbel tudi pri tej priliki, da bodo gostje dobro postreženi. Za lačne in žejne bo poskrbljeno v polni meri. Tudi potice bodo na dnevnem redu. Za plesaželjne bo pa skrbel orkester Johna Kochevarja. Kdor bo najbolj srečen bo dobil pa še $25 vredno zapestno uro kot darilo. Na to prireditev so že zdaj vabljeni člani in članice JSKJ društev v Chicagu in okolici. Seveda so tudi vabljeni in bodo dobrodošli vsi ostali rojaki in rojakinje, ki ljubijo dobro zabavo.
Meseca maja bo naše društvo obhajalo petletnico obstanka. Sicer je pet let kratka doba, toda našemu društvu se je bilo treba krepko boriti za obstanek, posebno v teh slabih delavskih razmerah. Pridobivanje novih članic je težavno, vendar pa društvo precej dobro obstoji. Ustanovljeno je bilo z 10 novimi članicami, danes pa šteje 36 članic v odraslem in 14 v mladinskem oddelku. Zaobljubile pa smo se, da se mora število članstva našega društva v kratkem času podvojiti. Posebno mlade članice so postale zelo aktivne, za-kar jim gre vsa čast. Pri društvu vlada najlepša sloga in to je tudi vzrok, da društvo povoljno napreduje. Le tako naprej, sosestre, in uspeh nam jc zagotovljen tudi za v bodoče.
Naša prihodnja redna seja se bo vršila v sredo 18. marca zvečer v običajnih prostorih na 2254 Blue Island Ave. Vse članice so prošene, da se te seje gotovo udeleže, ker bo na dnevnem redu več važnih zadev. Imele oj-mo tudi nekaj novopristoplih članic. Po seji bo pa še nekaj . . . katera hoče znati kaj, naj pride na sejo! — Sestrski pozdrav vsem članicam našega društva, kakor tudi vsemu članstvu J. S. K. Jednote!

Le malokdaj kaj berem v Novi Dobi iz naše naselbine. Ne vem, kaj je vzrok, da tako malo pišemo, saj nas je dosti Slovencev tukaj. Zmrznili tudi še nismo, kajti zima nam je dosedaj še jako prizanašala, kar ni navada v Minnesoti. Mogoče je baš to vzrok, da rajši beremo kot pišemo. Zato pa naj jaz malo opišem, kako se imamo tu na Chisholmu.
Bolezen “flu” je močno razširjena, vendar smrtnih slučajev zaradi nje do-zdaj še ne beležimo. Ž delom gre prav slabo. V nekaterih rudnikih se dela po 5 dni v tednu, v enem pa samo štiri dni. Dosti ljudi jc pa tudi brez dela.
Da pa nismo popolnoma obupali nad tem slabimi razmerami, smo predpu-stom tuintam priredili kakšno zabavo. Tako je bilo tudi naše društvo Danica, št. 150 JSKJ, priredilo plesno veselico 15. februarja, katere finančni speh je bil prav povoljen. K temu so dosti pripomogle članice, katere so mnogo za veselico potrebnih predmetov prispevale zastonj. Hvala vsem, ki so kaj prispevali in vsem, ki so kupili listke in nam tako pomagali k lepemu uspehu! — S sestrskim pozdravom,

FAŠISTIČNA NEBESA
Vstala sta dva draga mrtva. Ivo je čutil, da ga ljubijo vsi— da bi mu oprostila tudi Jelena. Srečen? On ni smel, ni zaslužil sreče. Zarezal se mu je oster nož v srce. V veselje so donele besede: “če me ljubiš—pusti vse!”
XIV.
Srebrno je zvenel Romanin smeh po palači, vrtu in kiosku. Aiša je pripravljala za na pot—cele gore tovorov, za katere bi trebalo krdela konj. Tudi možje so se smejali—skrbni Aiši. Vsi pa so zakrivali neugodni položaj komaj preboleli deklici. Romana namreč ni vedela nič o kugi, ne o Mohamedovi nemilosti. Bilo ji je lepo v palači, vendar je njena duša hrepenela po bosanskih gorah, po daljnem Rihenberku. Vsak dan je vprašala strica, kdaj že gredo, vsak dan ji je odgovarjal le-ta: “Nisi še dovolj močna, dušica.” Vendar je bilo vse pripravljeno. Tovori so se grmadili, junaki hodili nestrpno po palači, šli bi —ali kako iz mesta? Zaprli so bili mestna vrata tudi podnevu in niso puščali nikogar vun. Bakšiš bi utegnil pomagati—in naši znanci so se zanašali na to, dokler se ni povrnil Janko s paševih posestev. Ob Jedrenskih vratih ga je vprašala straža, kdo in kam? Na odgovor mu je odprla vrata s pripombo: “K Ismail-paši smeš, ali od njega ne sme nihče. Smrti zapade, kdor ga izpusti.” Ne iz mesta! Toda morda je vendar mogoče podkupiti stražo. Oprezni vitez je poslal Amro na poizkušajo. Zaman; nobena sedmerih vrat se niso odprla Huseinovemu sinu. “Gre nam za glavo, gospod,” so se branile straže piastrov. “Mohamed si je zavaroval žrtve,” je rekel Radivoj, “kaže se, da pošlje skoro po tiste, ki nočejo priti k njemu. Kdo ve, kako se nam še zgodi ...”
Prodrli bi nemara s silo iz mesta—ali ženske. Vilemir je hotel na morje. Ivo je poslušal. Blisk nekega spomina mu je razsvetlil lice; oddaljil se je naglo, povrnil skoro in rekel veselo: “Hvala Bogu! Mohamed naj nas le čaka. Imamo izhod iz mesta. Poslušajte! Ko mi je bil nagradil Mohamed moj sramotni odpad s to palačo, sem pregledaval sode v kleti. Cari-grajci so imeli radi dobro vino—v urah bridkosti sem si preganjal spomine ž njim. Med vrstami sodov ob steni je bil posebno velik sod, nekoliko odmaknjen od zidu. Zadaj za njim opazim nekega dne vrata v zidu. Gotovo kako skrivališče zakladov, sem si mislil. Suženj mi je odprl vrata. Velik, temen prostor je zazijal pred menoj, šum se je zaslišal, kakor od polagano se zibljajoče vode. Velel sem sužnju prižgati baklje in stopil ž njim v.tisti neznani svet. Da ste videli,! Pod Carigradom je ogromen, obzidan prostor. Dve veliki jezeri se pretakata po njem, vmes so tlakana pota. S sužnjem sva šla naravnost po široki poti. Prišla sva do nezaklenjenih, le priprtih vrat, našla tudi ostanke jedi in skrinjico z biseri. Jasno, da so Carigrajci bežali tod na morje. Pred vratini je raslo mlado vrbje. Zaprla sva s sužnjem vrata. Ukazal sem mu molčati o izhodu, ki pride morda .še prav. Suženj je izginil kmalu po Jeleninem begu, jaz sem pozabil na skrito pOt—sedaj sem se prepričal, da je v kleti vse po starem. Pojdite in poglejte.”
Juro je prižgal baklje. Iz večletnega miru prebujena vrata so zaškripala nevoljno. Nepregledna temna dvorana jih je sprejela. Čudno je bilo v njej. V tmini je grgrala pritajeno voda. Svit baklje je osvetil vrste marmornih stebrov, na katerih je počival kameniti strop. Vilemir se je oziral po votlini in vzkliknil:
“To je velikanski, od Rimljanov sezidani vodovod, o katerem mi je pravil Zenon. Dve cisterni sta. Ena sloni na tristo-intrideseterih stebrih, druga na devetstoterih. Deževnica in studenčica se nabirata v trivoglatih ribnikih, šest ur .daleč naokoli Carigrada, in se stekata po jarkih in ceveh v cisterni. Grki so bili že pozabili na ta vodovod in prišli zopet slučajno, kakor moj oče, do njega. Turek gotovo ne ve zanj. Tukaj se steka tako velika množina vode, da preskrbi lahko ena cisterna brez dotokov ogromno mesto skozi dvajset mesecev z vodo.” “Prav imaš, Vilemir, to je rimsko delo. Veličastno je tu. Svečniki so stebri, strop in tla se zdita posuta z biseri. Na blatu in vlagi se pozna, da voda včasih prestopa.”
Pogreznjen v načrt rešitve je molčal Ivo. Tako so prišli do železnih vrat, katera so odprli s težavo. Skozi odprtino jih je pogledal nejasno dan. Ivo se je prestrašil meneč, da je jzhod zasut. Pa je bila le vrba, ki je bila vzrasla iz vrbja in zakrivala z visečimi vejami vrata. Vilemir je razmeknil s sabljo veje in vzkliknil od veselja. Bospor se je blestel pred njim. Vsi so si oddahnili. — Juro si je ogledal vrbo.
“Treba bo sekire. Ob noč jo posekava s Tonetom. Ko odidemo, založim vrata z vejami.”
Vračaje se v palačo je razlagal Ivo Radivoju svoj načrt: V Peri dobi ljudi, ki spravijo radi kristjana v varnost. Naroči si veliko ladjo, jo naloži z blagom in se popelje kot kupec do Belgrada. Od tam naprej bo paši odprta pot. Mohamed ne izve tako hitro za njihov beg. Tačas . . .
Ismail je sunil z nogo ob neko malo stvar. Zazvenela je rahlo kakor daljni spomin. Vilemir se je sklonil in pobral ženski zavratnici podobno reč. Blato se je je držalo. Hitro jo je vzel Ivo sinu iz roke in glej, zazveneli so številni zlati, zasvetil se je velik rubin . . . Ivo je pogledal smrtno bledega
Radivoj a ...-------
Bila je zavratnica—Jelenina. Tisti rubin ji je bil dal Radivoj ob rojstvu Vilemirjevem, nebrojne zlate ji je bil podaril ob veselih dogodkih v mladosti tako srečnega življenja Jeleninega. Stali so presunjeni. Iz temin valov je vstajala Jelena, izza stebrov je stopala njena ponosna postava. Tod je torej bežala prelepa pred sramoto in tod je nosila drhteča mati Vilemirja . . . Pokleknil bi in poljubil sledove njenih stopinj. Pa izprala jih je že davno voda, zagrnilo jih je blato . . . Vlažen strop—vlažna tla in vlažna očesa . . . Poljuboval je Ivo zavratnico, kot drag zaklad jo je spravil na srce: “Dam jo Romani, toda ne sedaj, pretresla bi se ubožica.”
Vrnili so se v palačo in govorili z Aišo. Previdno je pojasnil Radivoj Romani položaj. Nežna potomka junakov ni poznala strahu, silila je na odhod.

DOPISI.
O veliki fašistični junaški pesmi "Sedemindvajset poglavij (cantos) revolucije,” katero je spesnil Virgilo Fiorentino, prinesel je nedavno šaljive komentarje in nekatere izčrpke new-yorški list “Times.” Ti izčrpki so tako zanimivi, da jih je vredno delno podati v prostem prevodu.
Cela afera pesnitve se začenja v nebesih, kjer so osebe svete Trojice zbrane, da se pogovorijo glede obrambe, ker hoče gospod Satan uničiti Rim potom boljševizma. Na apele “neznanega vojaka,” pesnika Danteja in drugih odloči seja svete Trojice, da se pošlje angel ja Gabrijela k Mussoliniju z zvežnjem liktorskih palic, ki značijo nepremagljivost. Benito Mussolini je bil takrat še urednik lista Popolo d’ Italia.
V protinapadu se je Satan polastil oblike Woodrowa Wilsona, katerega duša je odpotovala v spodnje kraj e. Ta n a p a č n i Woodrow Wilson skuša pripraviti zastopnike zavezniških dr-";av na mirovni konferenci, da zaplenijo rimsko boginjo Zmage, jo zvežejo z verigami in jo izročijo Jugoslaviji. . .
To vzdigne takratnega urednika Mussolinija, da organizira prve fašistične čete in požge uredništva socialističnih listov v Milanu. To je začetek hudih spopadov med nameni Višje volje in med Satanovimi nakanami. Končno se pojavi D’Annunzio s svojimi vojnimi letali, kateremu se Satan ne more ustavljati niti s s pomočjo Giolittija.
Sledi še več hudih bojev med fašisti in angel ji na eni strani in hudiči in komunisti na drugi. Mussoliniju je nato dovoljeno, da vstopi v nebesa, kjer sme videti bodočnost fašizma.
Zadnji canto omenjenega epo-sa popisuje, kako so nebeški bataljoni prihrumeli v uredništvo Popolo d’Italia in odnesli kip Svobode v Rim', kjer so ga poklonili kralju. Nebeški oče je vstal s svojega) zlatega prestola, da je lažje opazoval to zanimivo zemeljsko sceno . . .
Zadnji akt je bil vsekakor prizor za bogove. Glede ostalega pa človek ne ve, kaj bi si mislil. Ali je prismuknjen pesnik Florentine, ali so prismojeni tisti italijanski eksperti, ki so priznali to pesnitev izmed stoterih drugih za najboljšo, ali je vsa fašistična Italija ena velika blaznica, ali pa ostali svet ni na dovolj dobrih termi h z nebeškimi oblastmi, da bi mu bilo dano razumeti to “božansko” pesnitev. Vsekakor je treba priznati, da imajo Italijani dobre želodce, če prebavijo kaj takega, ne da bi jih prijemali krči!

Klobuki malikov
Znani klobuki “cilindri” ali “polcilindri” niso tako moderni, kot si navadno predstavljamo. Raziskovalci so nedavno prišli v neko naselbino domačinov v pokrajini Kongo, Afrika, kjer so našli kipe malikov, ki so imeli na glavi “cilindre.” V dotični naselbini gotovo še nikoli prej ni bilo belega človeka in domačini sami tudi ne nosijo takih pokrival. Nekateri najdenih malikov s “cilindri” so stari mnogo stoletij.

Kaj radio prenese
Guy Lombardo, ki po radiu priporoča Robert Burns cigare, ne puši nič druzega kot cigarete. Julia Sanderson, ki poje na radio za Blackstone cigare, sploh ne kadi. Jones in Hare, ki priporočata po zraku nogavice različnih barv in izdelkov, nosita samo črne nogavice.

Pokojnica je bila rojena v vasi Sodevci št. 25, občina Radenci, fara Stari trg pri Črnomlju v Sloveniji. Umrla je stara šele 54 let. V to deželo je prišla 3. decembra 1920 s takrat še mladoletno hčerkq. Bila je članica društva Marija Trsat, št. 109 JSKJ, katero drušfvo ji je priredilo dostojen pogreb. Tem potom se najlepše zahvaljujemo članom gori omenjenega društva za krasen venec in za obilo udeležbo pri pogrebu. Nadalje naj bo isrečena lepa hvala za vence in cvetlice sledečim: Mr. in Mrs. J. Hren in družini, Mr. in Mrs. J. šute in družini, našim sosedom T. Švajger, T. Turk, M. Kramarich, F. Palčar in J. Šterk. Prav lepa hvala tudi vsem udeležencem pogreba.
Žalujoči ostali:	Mike	Medved,	so^
prog; Ana in Anton Goronel, hči in tast. V starem kraju Mihael in Josip, sinova.
Davni predniki
V takozvani Gypsum jami v državi Nevada so nedavno našli človeška okostja, katerim pripisuje dr. Scherer, direktor Southwest muzeja, 20,000 let starosti. Da-li so bili ti davni prebivalci Amerike predniki še sedaj živečih Indijancev ali kakšne druge rase, to ni ugotovljeno.
SOLNCE BO UGASNILO
Nemški znanstvenik dr. Walter Nernst trdi, da solnčna luč polagoma poj en j uje in da bo
solnce nekoč docela ugasnilo. To pa se bo zgodilo šele čez deset tisoč milijonov let.

NAGRADE '
Za dopise, priobčene v mladinski prilogi Nove Dobe meseca februarja, so prejeli nagrade sledeči dopisniki: Mary Ilovar, društvo št. IT)5, Blaine, O., $3.00; Matilda Štrukelj, društvo št. G, Lorain, O., $2.00; Amelia Peternel, društvo št. 2, Ely, Minn., $1.00.
Skladi platine
Platina spada med najdražje kovine, ker jo je najti le malo-kje in ša to le v malih količinah. Nedavno so pa prospektorji na otoku Chiloe, nedaleč od obrežja republike Chile, odkrili rudo, ki daje 12 do 14 gramov platine na tono. To se smatra za zelo bogato rudo.
Chicago, 111.
Danes ko to pišem je 8. marca, in v Chicagu je vse zameteno s snegom. Veliko pouličnih železnic počiva, ker vsled zametov ne morejo voziti. Nekaterim brezposelnim delavcem je ta sneg baš prav prišel, bodo vsaj par centov zaslužili z odmetavanjem snega. Vsem pa še Bog ne more ustreči, kot pravi pregovor.
Naznanjam dalje, da se naše žensko društvo Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ, pridno pripravlja za pomladno veselico, ki se bo vršila v soboto 2. maja ob petletnici društvenega obstanka. Za tisto priliko bomo imele nekaj posebnega, namreč “balloon dance.” Za to so se zavzele naše mlade članice, me starejše jim bomo pa pomagale. Vstopnice za to našo veselico so po 50 centov in so že zdaj v predprodaji. Eden, ki bo navzoč na veselici bo dobil v dar zapestno uro, vredno $25. Podaril jo je naš slovenski urar in zlatar Joseph Lu-
