TABLET UNVEILED FOR SLOVENE AUTHOR Dr. Fran Detela Is Honored by Tablet on His Birth- place at Moravce LJUBLJANA SENDS HER CULTURE TO EVENT Detela Is Third Literary Man to be Honored This Sum- mer in Slovenia Local Druggist Routs Bandits Gunmen FOiled When They Attempt to Rob Kpmin’s Drug Store Last Saturday Two well-dressed gunmen who attempted to rob Komin’s Phar. macy, 6430 St. Clair avenue were driven away when the proprie- tor opened fire on them. They escaped, however, with $50 and valuable papers which they took from the cash register before Mr. Komin apprehended them. They riddled the register a.rco- forcing Mr. Komin, his clerk and two customers into the prescrip- tion room. Mr. Komin was then ordered to open the Post Office safe. He gave the biggest sur- prise to the bandits, however, when he reached for a shotgun which was close to the safe and began firing. They returned fire but when one of them was shot in the back they escaped. No trače of them has been found. Dr. Fran Detela, Slovene au- thor, was honored on September 20 by the unveiling of a marble tablet at his birthplace in the village Moravce. He is the third literary man thus honored this summer by Slovenes in Jugosla- via, others having been the writ- er Fran Levstik and the compo. ser Miroslav Vilhar. Literati Present Ljubljana sent its biggest del- egation to the uncovering of the Detela tablet. Universitjr pro- fessors, students, authors, doc- tors and members of various cvS- tural clubs came to the event by train, automobiles and bus. The festivities opened with a grand reception of ali guests at 9:30 a. m. A solemn high mass at 10 preceded the actual unveil- ing of the slab which took plače at 11 amid recitatiops, singing and orations. The drawstrings were pulled by the main speakef, Dr. Solar, university professor, revealing a medal with a pic- ture of the author and a brief history of his life. Sketch of Life Dr. Fran Detela is a present day author, having been born at Moravce, on December 3, 1850. He finished his studies at Ljub¬ ljana, but went to Vienna to study philology. From 1890 he was professor and principal at the schools of Novo Mesto. He died on July 11, 1926. Among his books are many historical novels, chief among which is “Pegam and Lamberger.” His greatest work, however, is the novel “Trojka”, written in 1897. “Co-op” League Gives Program Co-operative Month Ushered in With Concert, Dinner and Dance at National Home October being designated as “Co-operative Month,” the local organizations will celebrate the event with a full day’s activitles at the Slovene National Home, Sunday.

ART EXHIBIT OPENED BY SLOVENE ARTIST Shows Paintings He Made in America to Interest People in Ljubljana INTERESTED PEOPLE FILL GALLERY Curiosity Is Maintained by Jugoslavs for American Pictures and Leetures Results of his two years’ work in America were shown for tfte first time to Jugoslavs when Bo¬ židar Jakac, artist, opened his American Art Exhibit in Jako- pic's Pavilion at Ljubljana on September 27. “The large turnout of specta- tors for the opening day clearly showed that the Slovenes in Ju¬ goslavia are conscious of their eountrymen in America and ar* interested in their country and its scenes,” comments the daily “Jugoslovan.” Opens W J th Lecture This interested group waited eagerly for the formal openmg, when the artist lectured on America, explained in detail every picture and played typi- cal American mušic on a phono- graph to bring out his points. Only a fragment of the work the artist did in the Unites States is exhibited, but there are scores of paintings and sketches on display, while copies of ali paintings that were sold in America give the patron an Idea of Mr. Jakac’s work in the U. S. Among the copies are numerous sketches of American celebrities, who gave the painter a sitting. Will be a Success Vases, Indian Tum-tums and American relics are intermixed with the drawings and sketches. Mr. Jakac’s American draw- ings will be shown until Oct¬ ober 20, and, according to the Ljubljana papers, the exhibition will be a financial as well as a moral success. $tory of L. Adamič Is Recognized 0’Brien’s*“Best Short Stories of 1931” Includes Work of Slov e ne Author MASOUE BALL SET FOR OCTU 24 “POTICA” WINS FiRST AWARD AT FAIR At the county fair of Manistl- que, Michigan, the Slovene pas- try, known ali over as “Potica” won first plače in the cooking award. The potica was baked by Mrs. Frank Gorše, who is so skillful in the culinary art that the judges unanimously declar- ed themselves for the Slovene delicacy and gave the purple rib. bon to the happy and prideful Mrs. Gorše. 0’Brien’s “Best Short Stories of 1931”, which have recently been published, include a short story by the Slovene author Louis Adamič, who is a popular contributor to llterary maga- zines. Edward J. 0’Brien annually publishes the best short stories of the year, and in this year’s collection he included Mr. Ad¬ amiči “The Enigma” which or- iginally appeared in the “Arne" ican Mercury.” The volume “Best Short Stories of 1931” has been published recently' by Dodd, Mead & Co. of New York and England. Leading Author Louis Adamič is well-known to literary critics in America. He is the leading Slovene author who devotes his time to the writing of English fiction. His work “Dynamite” which was published last spring attracted wide attention. At present, he is completing another book “Laughter in the Jungle” which should be published soon. Mr. Adamič had an article dealing on Slovene immigrants in the October issue of “Harper’s Mag¬ azine.” Augmented Radio Hour Or- chestra to PrOvidc the Tunes for Dancing PRIZES CAUSE COMMENT Work of Community Welfare Club for Next Year De- pehds on Success of Bali Collinwood Women , s Club Anniversary Remember Founding of th e Lodge Ten Years Ago, With Banquet at Slo¬ vene Home Sunday “Collinwoodske Slovenke” — lodge 22 S.

Jakac Talks of America Resigns As Assistant Scoutmaster Comparing America and Eu- rope, Božidar Jakac, Slovene ar¬ tist, who visited America for the past two years, finds the United States shaded by European cul- ture, according to an interview in the Jugoslav paper, “Jutro.” New York Lifeless A very cool reception and much red tape at Ellis Island gave the artist his first jolt. Broadway stirred him, but he calls New York lifeless—filled with machines that supercede personality. He asserts that the ideal of America is the rule of the machine, where a person loses ali value as a human being. Looking at the eastern and western parts of the United States, the artist found the east strictly commercial, hospitable but never giving a warm heart to a stranger. The west, how ever, is agrarian and closer to the heart. In the line of art, the painter teliš that America was dead un¬ til some 12 years ago, but today it is doing everything to pro- mote art, although it has copied much from the older continent. Slovene Youth Disspirited Concerning Slovenes, Mr. Ja¬ kac was deeply touched by the reception given him by the Cle¬ veland Slovenes. He thinks that the Slovenes are not inwardly American, stili cultivating their Slovene traditions and customs. He found, however, that the youth has lost some of its Slo vene Špirit and can hardly talk the mother tongue, although it stili admits to be Slovene. According to Božidar Jakac the group most interested ln Slovene culture is collected around Frank T. Suhadolnik, “ditor of the Cleveland Journal. He further relates that Ivan Zorman is the greatest man among the American Slovenes, working to keep their »pirit alive, besides being their fore- most musician and poet. Dr. fr j J. Kern is also a very active man j in their cultural life. | Against “Slovene Jazz” Holding their customs and traditions alive, is very com- mendable, declares Mr. Jakac, but he laments the fact that the Slovene folk song has been turned into jazz and in this way presented over phonograph rec- ords and over the radio. In concluding, Božidar Jakac explains that his journey >o America showed him that noth- ing is better than the native land and that he now realizes the beauty of his native Slo¬ venia. Mr. Frank T. Suhadolnik, sen¬ ior assistant Scoutmaster of the Silver Fox Tribe, Boy Scouts of America, has resigned that Office effective, October 16, 1931, it was announced by Dr. James W. Mally, chairman and Mr. Felix A. Danton, Scoutmaster, last Tuesday morning. Pressure of work as librarian of the John Carroll University Library and other interests prompted Mr. Suhadolnik to tender his resignation after serving 1 year on the Staff of the local Boy Scout troop. In accepting his resignation, Dr. Mally and Mr. Danton said: “—both regret this action. Your Services during the past twelve months that you served on the Staff of Tribe No. 2 have been commendable. It will not be an easy task to find a successor." Everyone belonging to the Community Welfare Club has gotten that instinct and urge to be just a little more self-sac- rificing than the next. That špirit has been communicated even to those who are not wel- fare club members. The Masque Bali which will be held on October 24 at the Slovene National Home will be the climaxing part of the whole preparation which has been held during the past two months and more. Actual preparations have been visually shown by the ex- hibit of the prizes which will be given away on the evening of the dance. Ali of the prizes which have been so generously donated by the neighborhood merchants and gathered by t.be members of the Welfare Club are now on display at the Ku- shlan Confectionery window in the Slovene National Home. Biggest Thing The annual masque bali of the Community Welfare Club will be a thing for which the members have planned and worked for for many months in laying the plans and the gather- ing of materials for rnaking it one of the greatest things in the history of the club. They are anxious to make it proportion- ate to the needs which are ex- isting today. Proceeds of the masque bali will be used to relieve the needy in the neighborhood, not only through the Thanksgiving bas- kets and the Christmas taasKets as has been the custom but by regular contributions in the sup- port of the needy. Neetl Is Great That the need is great is real- ized by the members of the wel- fare club who are working hard. They themselves would like to impress the importance of the tremendous success of the mas- que bali so that they will be able to do ali the more in the future. Everyone, young and old is in- vited to attend the doings, both because the object is good and excellent and because there will be plenty of fun and plenty of dancing to be done on that eve¬ ning. DODO FABIAN TO APPEAR ON LOEW’S STATE BILL Beginning Friday, October 23, Miss Emily Fabian, nopularlv ac- claimed as “Dodo” will appear for one week in “Splashes” with the company of the Chester Hale Girls, at the Loew’s State theatre.

THAT PLAID NECKERCHIEF BASKET OF FANCY GRO- CERIES ADDED TO THE PRIZES FOR CIIARITY BALL Business Letter Writing Perhaps many persons will not know the significance of the plaid neckerchief on the boy who will call at the doors of the housewives of the neighborhood and ask for ali the old paper, magazines and books that are lying around the house making trouble for the “Mrs.” when she cleans house and wants to keep it clean and tidy. The boy with the plaid neckerchief is the answer to the problem. He wiil be there to eollect papers which have accumulated. The boy with the plaid neckerchief Is only one of the many boys who will be doing the same thing which he is doing. only about thirty boys will be wearing the plaid neckerchcief, others will be wearing other variations of the same piece of clothing but they will not come to the door of any house in the neighborhood. The boy vvith the plaid neckerchief represents the Silver Fox Tribe which meets in the St. Ciair Bath House. The boy also represents the Boy Scouts of America, the gi eatest boys organi - zation which has for one of its principles that no boy or troop is to accept a tip for some work but they are to go out and earn the money vvhich it takes to run the organization. To be sure they accept any contribution that anyone wiil give hut that is con- sidered only an investment in the communi : :y welfare which the Boy Scout represents in good turns and other things which Scout- ing represents. It is only on that basis that the gift is accepted. Nor is it a fact that the Scout need no money to run the Tribe in spite of the fact that the leaderfehip is gratuitous work of in- terested men. There are many things which are needed to make the organization function besides leadership/ To cover these expenses the Scouts themselves have assumsd the responsibility of getting the money. On the occasion and for the whole of next week they will be collecting papers, magazines, books and any other material which is about to be discarded. Said material will be sold and the proceeds made available for expenses which are necessary to run the troop, That plaid neckerchief around the boy’s neck represents a boy who is not ashamed to do his bit to make the Tribe function as it should. By asking for old papers, magazines, and books he is asking the person upon whom he is calling to help him dis- charge the responsibility which he has assumed. Any contribu¬ tion will make him realize that it is necessary to work to be able to keep going. While it is not money that is asked—but only t-hose papers, magazines which would eventually find themselves in the incenerator. Each and everyone upon whom the Scout, vvith the plaid neckerchief calls, will be doing more than giving papers and magazines. He will make the bov realize that it takes trouble to do anything worth while. It is in that little point that the boys will have learned something of thrift—one of the Boy Scout laws. Paper collection week for the Silver Fox Tribe v/ill be next week. Prepare hov/ for the boy with the plaid neckerchief v/ho vvill call. Can you feature our commit- tee walking into a grocery store expecting to solicit a prize for the Charity Bali? So they did and without hesi- tation. They cntered the store of Louis J, Prince. Shelves up¬ on shelves of fancy groceries, canned goods, ceareals, etc.! The counters and display cases were attractively arranged with a large assortment of freshly bak- ed bread, cakes and cookies. The green vegetables of every variety looked so tempting, especially the crisp endive with curly leaves, which created entice- ment to one of our committee. Desirable commodities seli themselves. Consequently the committee made a number of purchases. The spotless and well-lighted store with a great variety of fan_ cy groceries is indeed an attrac- tion. After a number of cus. tomers were satisfied and dis- pensed with, Mr. Prince gener- ously said, “And what can I do for you? A prize for your Char- ity Bali? Gladly, but what would you suggest?” “How would a large basket of assorted grocer¬ ies do?” “Wonderful,” we said and hap- pily thanked him. That is a prize anyone would be glad to win. Fourteen wonderful prizes vvill be given away at the Second An- nual Charity Mask Bali sponsor- ed by the Community Welfare Club, on Saturd iy, October 24 at the Slovene i^ational Home. The entire program appears in today’s issue. So be sure to mask, you’ll have a big time! —Committee A Sketch SLOVENE SCIIOOL HAS PARTY TONIGHT Because of the obdurate weather Friday night, the Adult Slovene School clašs expected the same conditions Sunday and called off the outing which was to be held last Sunday. Not to miss a good time, however, they have planned for a Hallowe’en Party which w:'.ll take plače to- night, immediately after the class. Many interesting and amus- ing games have been planned by the entertainment committee, who 'promise to present a good time for everyone present. Many LORD BYRjON TRANSLATED INTO SLOVENE A great step tovvards familiar- izing Slovenes with great Eng- lish vvorks was made when I. M. Petrovič wrote a book on Byroti which was published in Jugoslavia recently. It is the first volume of a purposed sat of books deal- ing with Byron. In the first book the author explains how Byron’s poetry influenced the literature of the Eurc.pean nations, stressing the influence on the Slovenes. Petrovič wrote the work as a thesis for a doctoFs degree and it is masterly written. We note — unnecessary. Wired — “Telegraphed” is the proper word. “Wired” is very ordinary slang. Phoned —You will never find the word “phoned” in a high- class letter from a high-class firm. Fhe proper word is “telefoned ’ Relative to —Hackneyed! “hi regard to” is preferred. State —A very ponderous and formal word. Say “explain,” “notify,” “inform,” “write”; any of these words are better than “state’ for an ordinary business letter. Beg to acknowledge— Beg to etate — Beg to advisei— Beg to Say—-Let us henceforth be too proud to beg. Pertinent facts to remembev about letters are that tvvo-thirds of our business is transacted by letters; what is written is a rec- ord which may be referred to, and we never know what un- ympathetic eyes may see these records. It is a psychological fact that the eye is quicker than the ear and we are more quickly convinced by what we see than what we hear. We have been putting stale stock phrases in our letters. Let us turn over a new leaf. It is never too late to learn.

The throng in the parterre of the National Home was addict- ed with that peculiar embalmmg anodyne vvhich generally results in a cohesion of feeling and gives rise to an impetus of emotion. Every heart beat the same pulse and every face, even that of the most capricious, radiated a har- mony of špirit while the solemn strains of the cadence were be- ing sung. The last scene was completed, and Mrs. Antoinette Simčič, in the proscenium arch, bovved hap- pily, yet a little timidly to her admirers, amid shovvers of bou quets sent to her from her faith- ful henchmen, and the rather sa- lient rejoinder of her votaries The success of her performance Interesting Statistics on Slav Studies Published in Issue of Current Magazine ‘BETSY ROSS” HAS TOMORROW DANCE Beard, Charles— The American Leviathan; Republic The may baffle crude forces of the historic type.

G. W.’s Look Strong The George Washington five again loom to be heavy favorites for the champions. They have added several new faces to then already powerful lineup. The S. Y. M. C. have already been a dangerous club to mest and if they kegle up to standard it will be a hot race. The Spartans have also new additions to their already strong roster and vow that this season will be an entirely differeit story. The Sokols always were troublesome and a lot is expect- ed of them this year. The Comrades, Pioneers and Boosters have changed their roster and are sporting strong lineups. A club that will be exceeding- ly strong as it has added new keglers is the Betsy Ross quin- tet. The Flagmakers were of mediocre strength in last sea_ son’s bowling, but they have added two of last season’s Boosters mainstays on their roster, namely, Baraga and Krall. The K. S. K. J. team has again entered the League under the leadership of Mr. Stanley Kro¬ mar, and his rival Lindy Lokar not to be outdone, has entered his. Strugglers. Alich Gets Hot; Crashes 297 Bart Alich, anchorman for the Comrades gave something for the other bowiers to shoot at for the rest of the season. Finishing his second game with four strikes for a 203 score he then laid his “bendy” bali down the slides for eleven per-^ fect strikes, each one hitting the 1-3 pocket for a clean hit. By this time the entire fans on the floor were gathered aoout his alleys. Nervously wiping his hands with the towel “Bendy” Alich took the minoralite. fing- ered the bali and stepped up tc the foul line. Not a ivnisper was to be heard and as the bali ron- ing down the slides broke the stillness of the air, every fan had the same thought in mind. Will it be a perfect strike? Sad t0 sa y the bali didn’t take the hodk that it should have and it hit the pocket a little thin, leaving the 2-4-8 pins up ( giv- ing Alich a brilliant 297 mark. 818 up with the terrific pace that Alich set and as a result lost two cf their games +o the Spar¬ tans, The fina! game orought a 1015 total for the s!

W.’s Defending Title The G. W.’s are out to defend their title with the same imeup that captured laurels last sea¬ son and the Collimvood Boost¬ ers fell victims to the deter- mined attack of the Cherry Tree Choppers. Crashing the pins with ali of their games over the 900 mark, they rolled up a total of 2852 that took flrst plače in the higb three stand- ings. They opened with a 996 that took second in the team singles and followed with a 918 and 938 score. “Ox” Kromar, captain, led with a 685 on 195, 205, and 205 installments. “Lin- dy” Kotnik and “Pugs” Opalek each crashed out scores of 599, Oberstar did best for the Boosters with a total of 544, followed by Laurich’s 542. S. Y. M. C. Povverful The S. Y. M. C took over the Betsy Ross in two of their games. The S. Y. M. C. hit a 2804 total to the Flagmakers 2646. Opening with a 592 total the Young Men crashed a 989 in their middle chapter, but fell down in the last one and rolled a 863 against the Betsy Ross’ 893. The 2804 total placed the S. D. Z. crew second in the high standings. Prosek’s games of 169, 223 and 223 for a neat 615 total paced t V. e v.uhuts and gave him t' 1 piace in the i.idn idual hipi three standings.

It is evident that the Sokols are to be reckoned with, for they have a neat ros¬ ter. The Pioneers are not as strong on the alleys as on the baseball field but you never can teli. The Sokols banged a 2703 total to the Pioneer’s 2596 score. T. Jereb crashed the maples for Tommy Gribbons managed an* other championship bali club. Sunday his Brazis Bros. class B team won their title by taklng their second straight victory over the Jindrich Clothes. With a one game lead, the Brazis Bros. held a 8 to 6 advantage in their second fracas. In the eighth frame the Jin- drichs protested an umpire’s ae- cision at home plate, and then refused to continue the game after the umpire ordered twc of their players from the game handing the Brazis Bros. the game. This was the second cham¬ pionship team that Tommy has managed in the last three sea- sons. In 1929 he led the King’s Jolly Pals to the class D title. The following season he was at the helm of the Grdina and Sons, and was eliminated during the finals. And now he again has brought home the bacon. Well keep it up Tommy and you'll be another Eddie Krajnik ‘OLE SWIMMIN’ HOLE’ REVIVED DAYS Bath House Tries New Stunt The Gco.

The G. \V.’s will oppose the Boosters on the White City grounds, Saturday at two thirty in the deciding game for the S. S. C. U. championship. OPPORTUN (T Y LOS INTER- LODGE KEGLERS Frankie Makovic is easily calL ed the leading hurling ace in the past indoor baseball season. Frankie has the best pitcher’s record. In a total of eighteen games that he has v/orked he won 13 lost 3 tied 1 and 1 was called on account of rain. His strike-out record puts Lefty Grove to shame. In his 18 games he ran up a total of 214 strike- outs, an average of 11.8 per game. His control was remark- able for he issued only 16 bases on balls. During ali his games he was scored on for only 26 runs, for the extraordinary average of 1.4 runs per game. This brilliant hurling has led his Pioneer club to the title. It is no won- der that; other clubs found him hard to beat for it takes more than one run to win a bali game with Makovic on the op- posing team. He also managed the club on the playing field. In the city major softball league Makovic hurled for the Farah Sports, who were eliminated in the finals. He is an ardent lover of sports for he plays bas- ketball and also bowls.

Many of the young men ex- pressed their wish to swim but are unable since tnej can not afford a bathing suit. Now the management is going to give these boys an opportupity to swim without suits on Saturdays between 3:00 and 4:00 p. m. pro- viding they join the gym class between 2:00 and 3:00 p. m. It is the managemenfs vdsn to inerease the gym class as well as to give those unable to pur- chase a suit, the chance to wade in the pool. This applies to male members only. Health experts are of the opinion that swim- ming without suits is more san- itary and should be encouraged, If the attempt proves success¬ ful, arrangements will be made to put the new plan in effect at ali men’s sv/imming classes, thus giving everybody a chance to swim and also introduce a more sanitary syštem in keeping the pool stili cleaner. best bet as he came through wiori 5?,7 score.

CITY CHAMPION¬ SHIP BOUTS Billy Anzick, one of the favor¬ ites for the city featherweight title, broke his thumb in knock- ing out his first two opponents last Friday at the C. A.

Other lads who are vvell-known in our community, who are participating in this The game that \vill be of the most interest Sunday afternoon will be between the Cherry Tree Choppers and the Young Men’s Club. The S. D. Z. boys have al- ways made keen opposition, but are very erratic keglers, giving in to weaker teams. However, they show unexpected reversal in form when bowling strong teams. The G. W.’s are the most consistent rollers in the clrcmi. Their lineup is the same that has carried them to the title last year. As they will step up to the foul line the champions will be slight favorites to win. The Spartans are out with a good lineup and are expected to take the measure of the 1929 Clairwood champions. Milavec and Wysopal, the mainstays of the S. S. P. Z. outfit, are two of the best bowlers in the League and are continually crashing in¬ to the limelight. The Clainvoods’ lineup has not been seen in action, so far, but they have always had a neat roster, The Pioneers are not as svrong on the. slides as on the baseball field and the Comrades are giv- en the edge over them. Another hot encounter is be- tween the Sokols and the Boos- ers with the former slight fa¬ vorites to cop. The Betsy Ross and the K. S. K. J. clubs are both sporting new lineups and this tussle is going to be quite interesting. It really is a toss-up as tu the winner. but Kromar’s boys are expected to bring home the bacon. K. S. K.

Morris \vaš considered one of the final- ists in the featherweight class. Billy Burns, the Croatian flash, fighting in the lightw.eight divi- sion won the decision over Pat Barrett, a rugged battler, in 3 rounds. Burns also hurt his hand in that battle but will be able to continue n!s battling. Tonight the finals are run off and we hope that both Brule and Burns will be able to sporv eity titles after it is ali over. An¬ zick and Brule 'vvill be remem- bered in this neighborhood as the boys who won their fight on the last Orel card at the Slov. National Home. Patronize Our ■ He banged out games of 182, 225, 194. Stepic and Kromar were runnerups with scores of 565 and 564 respectively. This season will be first for the Strugglers in the Interlodge League and Lindy promises the League that his boys will be plenty troublesome. M. Lokar led the S. N. P.

CONTRIjBDTES PRIZE TO CHARITY BALL COMMITTEE BEACONS’ DANCE Entering the Office of a dry cleaning plant is unlike enter¬ ing any other Office. The hum of motors and the chugging ma. chinery in the adjoining unit made one think, “Well, at least the cleaning business appears to be thriving in these days of much depression.” Three large show cases ali filled with clean garments ready for customers! One of the cleaners swiftly pass- ed the Office door carrying a lot, of fancy dresses iust out of the cleaning department. Mr. Mervar entered, with his sleeves rolled up, in response to the Office girl’s call. “Well, this is indeed a pleas- ure to find you ladies here”. Smilingly, he added, “And why am I honored?” Did you ever see Frank Mer¬ var without a smile? We won- dered if he ever became angry. We explained our errand as briefly as possible and he said, “Just what can a dry cleaner give as a prize to your Charity Bali?” The clothes ali belong to the customers and the un- called for garments are given to the poor.” One of the ladies said that she had a number of garments that needed cleaning and how happy she would be to win a “Dry Cleaning Certificate.” That was an excellent suggestion. The Committee thanked Mr. Mervar and v/alked away with a $5 Dry Cleaning Certificate which is a practical prize in these days of economy.

As Mr. Kokotec is one of the leading Zarja opera stars, we may well expect that his daugh¬ ter will be another Galli Curci. A Menu Suggestion The I oyalites v/ill hold their dance at the Slovene Home on Holmes avenue on December and Jack Zorc has promised to furnish the accordion mušic for dancing. Bc sure and keep the dat c pen for that evening. Five lodges of the Croatian Catholic Union will sponsor a banquet at Grdina’s Hall, Sun day, November 1, and are doing ali in their power to make the affair a grand success. Many noted speakers will be present as well as guests from neighbor. ing towns. The admission to the bantjuet vvhich will begih promptly at 1 p. m. is $1.50 which includes a dinner and also admission to the dance to be held in the eve¬ ning. Those wishing to attend the dance only will be admitted for 50c. Bidš may be obtained from any of the members of the lodges participating: namely, St Paul’s, St. Nicholas, St. Peter and Paul, Hrvatska and Zagreb. Mu sic for the entire program will be furnished by the Ellis Bros orchestra composed of Croatian young men. Each lodge will have its own schedule of entertain- ment and a lecture on the bene- fits derived from membership in the lodges. Bids may also be obtained by telephoning Florida 2438M or by making a personal call at 8204 Bellevue avenue. October is really the ideal month for outings. The mellow atmosphere, the beauty of na¬ ture and the completeness of creation arouses that thanks- giving attitude and produces a harmony of spirits. The wise hostess will arrange a heavier and more nourishing meal, especially when men are included in the party. A steak frv is always interesting and well received but there is a cer- tain amount of work attached and every hostess does not al- ways find it convenient to ar¬ range a meal of such a nature. A ham, veal or a beef roast may be 'prepared at home and later cut into sandwiches. Chicken fried at home and later eaten in the primitive “finger” fashion may also be a suggestion. The outdoors will always give the hikers a hearty appetite and it v;ould not be well to exclude a salad (there are a number of choice varieties) made at home. You must not forget the favor¬ ite cake or potica and fruit. If it is at ali possible, cook fresh coffee outdoors, at the outing. The sharp tang of the fall wind will add to the savory smeli of the warm beverage, v/hich has, at such times, a ten- dency to “touch the spot.” You must plan your meal, first of ali to please your guests, tak- ing into consideration, of course, the accommodation, the time and plače. The above suggestion, may, I bope, prove helpful to you.

A large crowd will undoubtedly be present vvhich has already been assured a good and jolly evening, by the BoosU ers. The following is one of the “secret” recipes of a very effi- cient and reputed housekeeper. Who hasn’t yet been baffled with the problem of makine: flaky pie crust? A part of the secret is to sift the flour used in the recipe as often as possible before using,- and another important detail is to mix the preparation as light- ly as possible. Ice and dough before you roli it out. The dough is made by mixing 3 cups of sifted pastry flour with one cup of lard. Moisten with % cup of water and mik very lightly (just so that it will hold together). Let me know what success you have with it. Miss Emily Fabian made an airplane trip from Washington last week, to spend a few days with her mother in Cleveland. ON MOTOR TOUR Mrs. Mary Makovec, together with Mr. and Mrs. Steve J. Lu¬ čič and daughter, Lily, have made a motor tour to Detroit. where they were the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Filkovic. The popular Miss Frances Erste was very pleasantly sur- prised by a very merry group who honored her with a birth- day party last Saturday evening, October 17, 1931 at her home, 6205 Whittier avenue . It is rumored that the evening bore ali the potential ear-marks of a grand success. First of ali, there were the highly waxed floors. Many a guest lost his primness and his stiffness as he gracefully over- turned his mental as well as physical equilibrium. And it is an important matter to readjust one’s mental attitude for a party! Some of the guests present were Misses, A. Berner, J. Cot man, H. Jernejčič and Rose Erste, and Mešsrs. J. Fox, P. Do dy, F. Ilc, A. Spath, R. Hichkox, J. Van Doy, F. and E.,Anzor, V Cotman and “Rudolph Valen¬ tino.” Mr. F. Ilc, in his very skillful manner, danced one of his fa- mous “snake” dances and as usual, it “went over big.” He is a well-known and well- liked artist and he certainly vvas applauded, as he is every- where. It wds fun just to vvatch the happy and jolly faces. Some of them were hilariously inclined in addition, mistaking cushions for, we won’t teli, etc. The only clock, it is reported, was the milkman. It was a jolly, careffee evening and to Miss Erste we extend our belated greetings. Happy Birm day! RETURNS I-KOM EUROPE Rev.

Ali of the costumes are being copied from the 14 century fash¬ ion calendar and the stage will bustle with flounces, flares and low cut bodices. It is very in¬ teresting to note that Zarja will make its own costumes and it must be mentioned that the material for costumes was pur. chased from local merchants. The Turkish costumes have arounsed considerable attention. They will be constructed of slight metallic bodices, long, flared Turkish trousers of a transpar¬ ent material banded together at the waist by a wide sash. The chorus is very busy pre- paring for the great night, Nov¬ ember 15.
