The Clevelanders attending were: Anton Terbovec, editor of Nova Doba; Vatro Grili, business manager of the Cleveland Jour¬ nal; Janko Rogelj, supreme offi- cer of the S. D. Z. and Mr. Plev¬ nik, president of the Interna¬ tional Savings and Loan Co. About 900 people came to the Slovene National Home Audi¬ torium last Friday evening to see the Jugoslav movies which were given by Anton Grdina for the benefit of the Slovene School. Besides the movie part of the evening, there were also three speakers, who gave addresses pertaining either to the Jugoslav movies or the Slovene School, which was sponsoring the pro¬ gram. Mr. Grdina First Speaker The first speaker of the eve¬ ning was the owner of the films, Anton Grdina, Sr., who gave a short address on the beauty of the land in and around Slovenia and urged the younger set to go to Europe and visit the land of their fathers. Talk on Slovene School The other speakers, Ivan Zor¬ man and Dr. F. J. Kern spoke mostly on the Slovene School and urged more members for the classes. Dr Kern emphasized the fact that the Slovene School in Cleveland is the first of its kind, and traced its rapid progress since its organization. Both speakers thanked Anton Grdina for his kindness in do- nating his time and films for the Slovene School. Young People Present One noticed very many young people in the audience, and could see that everyone followed the beauty spots of Slovenia as shown on the screen very closely. The Adult Slovene School Class suspended their class Fri- day night and attended the show. A last minute report States that the evening netted the Slo¬ vene School a clear profit of $86.75. BIG GROUP OF SLOVENES GEE SCHOLASTIC HONORS MILK DEALER DIES the air thru WHK. Burial Services \vere held to- day for Louis Lanchman, 1083 East 68 Street, who died last Monday.

The names of 84 Slovene boys and girls appeared on the honor roli of the Chisholm, Minn., sen¬ ior high school, when it was an- nounced last week. The entire honor roli included 216 names the largest in the his- tory of Chisholm schools. The Slovenes led ali others in the senior division, the division consisting of 75 percent Slo¬ venes. There were 35 Slovene names in the senior division, 17 in .the junior and 32 in the soph- omore class. In ali the history of Slovenes in Chisholm, there were never so many honored for scholastic endeavors at one time. We ll—-it doesn’t make a parti- cle of difference where you live, ^° u Ca n be sure of a dance in he Slovene Home nearest you! Here are some of the affairs Planned for this week-end! WHO WILL BE NEXT Every week more Slovene mer- chants step in line to aid the undernourished children of St. Vitus School. Who will be next?

Undernourishment Fund Gets New Donations COMMUNITY WELFARE CLUB AND SILVER FOX TRIBE BOY SCOUTS ARE NEW ADDITIONS TO JOURNAL UNDERNOURISHMENT FUND BY FRANK T. SODNIKAR More contributions have been received as the Cleveland Jour¬ nal Undernourishment Fund en- tered its third week. At the same time new developments oc- cured in connection with it. The Community Welfare Club contributed a large amount of apples and many boxes of crack- ers, this week. It is character- istic of the Welfare Club to help the needy, as they have the rep- utation of giving hundreds of baskets of food to the poor every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Boy Scouts Help The Boy Scouts have also be¬ come mindful of the need of the poor children and the local troop, the Silver Fox Tribe, with Felix A Danton at the head, contributed a month’s dues for the Undernourishment Fund. The sum will be turned over to the sisters who will buy what the children need most. Many grocers have also ex- pressed their willingness to aid the children and prsmised to give their final decisions next week. Get City-Wide Attention The Slovenes are the only group who have become inter- ested in their children and are helping them through local A charity concert will be giv¬ en by the Newburgh singing so- ciety “Zvon,” Sunday Nov. 15 at the Slovene National Home in East 80 Street. The proceeds from this con¬ cert will be turned over to a fund for the" unemployed, to feed and shelter the poor dur- ing the winter months. “Ilirija” to Assist To offer a very rich program, the society has invited the Col- linwood singers, the “Ilirija” singing society to assist in the work and thus present an aug- mented chorus. The “Ilirija” singers are di¬ rected by Martin Rakar, organ¬ ist at St. Mary’s Church in Col- limvood. dealers. Other groups depend upon the general fund which is being collected, but which can never be sufficient for ali Cle¬ veland Schools. Much More to be Done Dne to this fact, the Slovenes are getting city-wide attention fo r their work. The attention of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Schrembs has been called to their work as well as the attention of Dr. John R. Hagen, diocesean director of schools. The daily papers have also observed the movement and are \vriting on it. We Need Merchants But their is much more to be done Every merchant should and can give a small donatioi? weekly. . If everyone gives a lit- tle, soon a vast amount of sup- plies will be on hand. Merchants! Here is a plače you are vitally needed. We ask so very little that there is no reason why every merchant cannot step in line and do his share. We want every merchant in the neighborhood to be on our Honor Roli. Step in Line They Are Men! That is what we want to say of every Slovene merchant in Cleveland. Step in line, give what you can—for the children need it. WHO WILL BE NEXT? For the first time in any Slo¬ vene concert, “Zvon” will also present a “Junior Club,” a group of singers ranging from 10 to 16 years, who will give two selec- tions. “Zvon” reports that there are 40 singers in the jun¬ ior division and that ali will ap- pear Sunday. * Varied Evening The “Zvon” singers will pre-| sent solos, men’s and women’s and mixed choruses. Slovene folk songs and classical numbers are in the list to be given. The “Zvon” society is directed by Primox Kogoy, supreme sec- retary of the S. D. Z., while his son, Joseph is the accompaniest. Admission to the concert is 50 cents. Dancing will follow the concert. Neighborhoob Center Starts Weekly Socials Dancing, Diverse Games and En- tertainment Should Attract Young Folk TUESDAY, NOV. 24 OPENING NIGHT Weekiy Socials Will Include Something for Everyone, With Entertainers Present Every Week The St. Clair Neighborhood Center will have to make a re- quest to expand its auditorium if the present plans of the man- agement go through. There is no reason why the intended Tuesday frolics at the Center should not attract ali of the young folk interested in making contacts with one another so- cially. The manager at the St. Clair Center, Heinie Martin An¬ tončič, has already arranged a very interesting program for the winter season. A program that should appeal to dance lovers; to pinochle and bridge players; to the numerous checker would- be-champs and a series of otljier very interesting new indoor games. In addition various per_ formers will entertain for a few minutes at each social. Noted Artists on First Program The opening night, Tuesday, Nov. 24, is exceptionally rich in entertainment. Two talented young men are to appear to de- light the guests. “Franc” Mis- mas, of the recent Orel fight show farne, will demonstrate that he can please at piano playing as well as he did at the fight show. He will accompany a noted Singer who has appear¬ ed on numerous occasions at a downtown theatre. The Singer desires that his name be omit- ted from the newspapers. Makes Plans for Season The socials as previously men- tioned will begin Tuesday, Nov. 24. Although the management plans to have these socials the entire season it may discon- tinue them any time if the guests take advantage of a good thing and become unruly. Everything hinges upon those who will at- tend the social. The fun and merriment will be j ust as clean and as good as those attending want it to be. NEW ATTRACTiONS BEING OFFERED AT OREL SOCIALS The Orel Card Parties, which are held every Thursday in the new St. Vitus School, have some new attractions for the lollow- !ng two weeks. At the Card Party held on, Thursday, Nov. 19, a Turkey will be offered for a door prize.

THE W0RK GOES ON! And the Work goes on. In the interest of the undernourished children at St. Vitus School for whom the Cleveland Journal has taken a special interest, the relief work is going on with a vim and vigor.

We make special mention of the money gift of the Silver Fox Tribe who have taken a special interest and have dug to the bot. tom of their jeans to help in the cause. Our readers will do the Journal a great favor if in the future they will do anything they can to make the contributors feel that their co-operation in helping the children is being appreciated. Atkins, Gaius Gleen Life of Cardinal Newman “The steady stream of books on Newman by American and European writers is proof of the abiding influence of the great Oratorian. Dr. Atkin’s study is the seventh in the last half-doz- en years( there may be more), and ali attempt to interpret him to our generation in terms of personality, literary škili, or theological significance. The present study belongs to the ‘Creative Lives Series’ and its author is Professor of Homiletics and Sociology in the Auburn Theological Seminary. His ulti¬ mate interest lies in weighing Newman’s unquestioned influ¬ ence in the church of his youth, that of his adoption, and in the Protestant communions. He re- serves this question for the final chapter of his book, the main part of which is devoted to a biography of Newman whose ob- ligation to Ward’s official ‘Life’ are admittedly large. “The central fact of ali is, of course, Newman’s ‘secession’ to the church of Rome, and the Newman student’s interpreta- tion of the causes which led up to it is the supreme test of his insight, sympathy, and delicacy. Newman’s was a complex per_ ronality. He was subtle, exact, staff will have ali details ready —watch for them and get pre- extraordinary complex man with I pared to work for this only af- EDITORS AND OTHER THINGS In a letter addressed to the editor, the writer of a letter signed with X Y Z, but later identified by the writer when he čarne.: to the'Office of the Cleveland Journal, asks whether there was any animosity existing between the “editors of the supple- ments of the Slovene papers; namely, the American Home Junior and the Cleveland Journal?” As far as the editor of the Cleveland Journal is concerned there is positively no animosity existing between the editors of the Cleveland Journal and the editors of the American Home Junior. That there 'is a healthy rivalry, one cannot doubt. There is rivalry in ali fields of endeavor and as far as the staff of the “.Journal” is concerned they feel that it is the best of its kind and as such it wishes to keep ahead. There is plenty of rivalry but no animosity asi far the Journal is concerned. However, the Cleveland Journal wishes to make it understood that it is not a supplement to any paper and is not dependent on any other paper for its policy. • The Cleveland Journal has the distinction of being the FIRST AND ONLY PAPER of its kind in the world. It is ecmplete in itself. It has its own staff, its own organization, whichj organization, consisting mostly of the staff, establishes its “own” policies and is responsible for the work that it does. The Cleveland Journal stands alone and as such it is unique in the annals of journalism. If the people vrould only realize what they have in the Cleveland Journal, over any other nationality, and any other paper v/e are sure that it would be even more widely read than it is. The second part of X Y Z’s letter asks the Editor’s opinion of the utility and the practicability of organizations such as the , 1t , f f reunion of the Classes at St. Vitus School. To that question may * ewman the ’ llterarv magter Alumni are very late in their organization. We know that the and he tried earnestly to see an Slovene School in Newburgh has had its tenth annual graduating banquet last summer when more than one hundred and seventy members and the graduating class were present to renew friend- ships and to make n er/ acquaintances. The. same organization offers a medal for scholarship in the school year and the winners are among the pror.de/t members the school has .turned out. eyes of understanding and sym- pathy. To explain his failure in detail would require unwarran- table space; it must suffice to point out its cause. Dr. Atkin’s attitude is fatally uncertain: he never definitely made up his mind whether to approach New man with reverence, with Ar- noldian ‘superiority,’ with irony, or with entire detachment, and, in his mood, he tries each In turn. This wavering, in itself unfortunate, reveals Dr. Atkin’s fundamental error: he failed not merely to construct in his own imagination the authentic New- man but even a coherent, vital, convincing Newman. Thus he falls into odd confusions, under estimating Nevmanh psycho- logical insight and the passion- ate nature that burned beneath his cool restraint, failing to un- derstand Newman’s ‘blessed Vi¬ sion of peace’ had nothing to do either with his personal grie- vances or with the Pope’s loss of temporal pov/er, misconceiv- ing some of the nicer points in- volved in the controversy with Kingsley, and—cowning miscon- ception, relic of an outworn fallacy—denying Newman’s in. tellectual courage. So far as Dr. Atkins has made an actual contribution to New- raan's literature he does so in nenetrating, capable of viewing|his final chapter. He declares overything, even his own emo- j that Newman influenced both tions and impulses, from ali an- j the Communion he entered and gles, spiritually minded beyond the one he left; that through fair that the young people are holding for the unfortunate peo¬ ple who have felt the knocks of the present depression. Second Undertaking The Cleveland Journal Unem- ployed Benefit is the second un¬ dertaking of the Cleveland Jour¬ nal for the poor of Cleveland. At present it is also conducting the Undernourishment Fund for the children of St. Vitus School. It has met with great uccess in this venture and ali noints to bigger things at the Unemployed Benefit. The Cleveland Journal is not behind this thing for any per- onal gain. It will only spur the movement and conduct it to its finishing in order to give the younger people an opportu- nity to help the poor among the Slovenes—a thing that the staff J/els they are ali anxious to do. any other Englishman age and possessed of of his; the Oxford Movement he was certain virtually the father of the An- overmastering convictions: — among them that there were two and two only luminously self- evident beings, himself and God, and that only the unseen reali- fcies were enduring. To miss these qualifications and convic¬ tions—or any one of them— is to miss Newman; to throw them ever so slightly out of balance is to picture a Newman who never lived. A brilliant French reli- gionist, the Abbe Bremond, at- tempted to penetrate to the cen¬ ter of vvhat he called “the mys- tery of Newman,” but something vital in the complexities of the great Oration eluded him. Dr. Atkin’s aim is otherwise, but he finds the secret of the Newmanian mind and soul too glo-Catholic group; that he curbed intolerance in England gave beautiful utterance to uni- versal truths of the špirit, and stili strengthens the faith of those who ask what Dr. Atkins calls ‘only a mystic assurance.’ Most of these influences re- duire elucidation and qualifica- iion. As they stand in Dr. At kin’s concluding chapter they are as unsatisfying as the por- ■rait of Newman which he has Jaboured so hard and, I regret to say, so inadequately to present.” (From the Bookman, Oct. ’31) FIRST SLOVENE SCHOOL IN SOUTH AMERICA ! A Slovene School has recently alluring to pass by and he at- |. )een established at Buenos Aires tempts it in numerous obiter dieta. But he discovered no ‘open sesame,’ the hidden cham- ber remains unlocked. Dr. At¬ kins brought to his task some admiration for Newman the man, much for Newman the As far as the uti!5ty r^d the 'nrsc^^ccbilitv is concerned the Cleveland Journal feels and is certain that any organization which is established on the basis of mutual c^-o-^eration and fellowship and that co-operation felt as a duty and the fellowship felt as a personal honor and what more reason could there be for or¬ ganization of such a gatheringj If nothing more could be gained from an organization than to give inspiration to those who are stili occupying the classroom benches it would be sufficient to go to any trouble and bother to such an organization going. Vmo £ can teli that this or that member of the graduating class will not £ be inspired to fol.low the exampls of someone who has gone be- £ for e.

MITZI GRDINA MAKING GOOD ON CONCERT TOUR Enthusiastically received, Mrs.! [ Mitzi Grdina, Slovene soprano, scored in two concerts, recently. The first concert at the Slov. Nat’l Home of LaSalle, 111., brought a large audience to lis¬ ten to her, while her second ap- nearance at Oglesby, 111., her birthplace, was equally well at- tended. Although the majority of the audience was not Slovene, the Slovene folk songs were most warmly received and necessita- ted numerous encores. Mrs. Grdina is assisted, on her tour, by Anton Subelj, baritone, and Miss McConnel, pianist. Dramatic Incidents of SLOVENE HISTORY Frank Sodnikar THE ARMY OF BEES In 1520 a ruler who was to be very fateful to the Slovenes mounted his throne. He was Sultan Soli man II, one of the greatest monarchs of Turkey, a sane and temperate man, although very hungry f or glory and the thrill of war. When Soliman mounted the throne he announced to the world that he vrould iulfill his father’s promise; to build, in honor of Mo- hammed, three harems, one at Jerusalem, the other at Budapest and the third at the Pope’s doorstep, Rome The Sultan did not čare for any treaties made with the other countries, but in a year’s time set out with a large army to attain his goal. In a few months’ time he was already in the heart of Slovenia. Then began a century of pillaging, butchery and wrecking. No other country withstood so much hardship as the Slovenes did in the period of Turkish conquests. It is only surprising that the entire nation did not perish and get lost in the turmoil! While in the other countries commerce and art flourished, and cities were filled with activity; in slo¬ venia, ali art was destroyed—there was only time for the building of fortifications. The peasant tilled the soil with weapons by his side, ready to go fight the Turk on a moment’s notice, while in high walled cas- tles the lords had to spend every cent for mercenaries and ammunition. During this period the locality of šilen-Tabor re¬ ceived the heaviest attack from the Turk. On Easter morning the horde of pagans tore into the village un- expectedly. Scores of people were slain before they realized what had happened. The unfortunate peas¬ ant did not have a chance to defend himself • the en¬ tire populace was completely wiped out. The neighboring castle was a little more fortunate. While the Sultan was slaying the village and stripping it of ali valuables, the nobility had an opportunity to prepare for the attack which was sure to come. It was their good fortune that they had j ust received a new £upply of ammunition and that ali the help was inside the castle, when the sudden attack came upon the village. The Turk had come when they were ideally prepared for his attack. As they adjusted the caui- paults on the walls and drevv up the gates of the castle, the household snuggled securely behind the windows and watched the bloody end of their less fortunate brothers. When finally the cries of “La Illah Ella Allah— There is no God but Allah” and “Allah Akbar—God is great” came upon their ears, the men turned with little worry upon their guns; they were confidept that they would quickly get rid of this undesirable army. Sultan’s army received its share of wounded and dead, but they also gave more than they received. It was a fierce battle. The well fortified lord fought with confidence, but the Sultan also shovzed that he was stronger than was anticipated. The harder the Turks were driven back, the harder they clung to their po- sition. As night came on and the Pagan had not shown any sign of vveakening, the bravor and self-confidence of the castle hands diminished. They now foresaw a fierce battle and realized that their safety was not so sure as it had seemed. With earnest zeal and anx- ious faces they began warring with the Turk. But'as night passed into morning and the heathen was stili asking admittance, the earnestness and anxiety of the castle changed into fear. They were using up their ammunition in quick order and if the Turk did not receed quickly the castle vvould be forced to surrender. Stark fear and panic, gripped ali in the castle when the bombardmer^t of the Turk continued thru- out the day and went into the second night. Very earnestly the lord was holding conferences with his soldiers to see if the best thing would be to surrender at once. The greatest disturbance, was in the vvomen ser- vants’ quarters. Here the women were huddled to- gether crying and bemoaning their future. The old servants knew that their days were counted, while the young, beautiful maidens, wete certain that the rest of their lives would be spent in a Turkish harem, where they would be disgraced and shamed. There was only one among them, Reza Krumpče^ whose eyes were dry. “There is no danger,” she con- soled the others. “I assure you that I have a pl an in back of my head that will drive the Turks away faste^ than any bullet.” “If you are so sure of your idea why don’t you u se it,” cryingly objeeted a cook. “I will, as soon as the men humble themselves hy admitting defeat.” Reza did not have long to wait, for already ^ e give up,” “Draw down the bridge,” could be heard. O* 1 the run, Reza departed to do her bit for a seemingtf lost cause. A few Turks were already scaling the wall as sh e (Continued on page four) 13, 1931.

WASH. vs HOLY NAME Last season the Spartans were well on their way to the Inter- lodge championship when a de- cision of an ineligible player re- legated them down so far as to put them completely out of the running. This break gave the second plače team, namely, the George VVashingtons, the lead in the race and that aftervvards proved to be the championship. During that seasonthe Spar¬ tans boasted of victories ovei' the champs, and Sunday after- noon will find both of these clubs engaged in their usual tor- ried battles. The Cherry Tree Choppers will not have that strong lineup that has carried them to many victories last year. They v/ill be v/ithout the Services, of Lindy Kotnik, one of the star rollers in the League. Lindy was the main cog in the George’s win and his loss is yet to be felt. The Spartans will toe the foul line not only to repeat fcheir former vvins but will be out to avenge the unexepected defeat handed to them by the K. S. K. J. ’s last week. K. S. K. J.’s Over Sokols The K. S. K. J. team after tak- ing the measure of the strong Spartans last week \vill be out to repeat their lcegling and ex. pect to finish ahead of the So¬ kols. The latter made a poor shovving against the Comrades last vveek and will have to step seme to come ahead of the Gr- dinas. In a postponed match the K. S. K. J.’s vvill have the edge over the Clairvvoods. Flagmakers T<>o Strong for Pioneers The Betsy Ross crevv is carry- ing too heavy guns for the Pio¬ neers and will probably finish ahead of the C. F. U. boys. The Pioneers do not seem to take that interest that they have shovvn in baseball, for they have failed to have the same lineup shovv-up twice. They have a neat roster and should make Irouble for any club. Boosters to Continue to Win The Boosters have finally hit their stride of vvinning games. Last vveek they took the S. Y. M. C. into camp and novv they draw the Clairvvoods. The Clairvvoods have bovvled erratically and have yet to shovv their strength. The Boosters are given the edge. Young Men Favorites The S. Y. M. C. ought to take the Comrade’s measure, for the latter club has won its games vvhen least expected. Last vveek they took the Sokols into camp for tvvo games vvhile rolling vvith a blind, so if they roli again vvith a blind the Young Men had better look out. But Twin Yerse says “It’s in the bag.” So there vou are. We’ll take Tvvin’s vvord for it and let it go at that. WASHINGTONS SABL INTO FIRST PLACE-K.S.K.J.

Slovenes in Europe Wonderful People Slovenc Opera Handwork Is Again Fashionable The letters from Miss Pauline Plevnik who is spending the winter season in Jugosiavia, glimpses brief snatches of the happy and contended life she is enjoying. She will write, in one vein, how everyone is “j ust won- derful” and end, “Regards, must study French.” Recently she made a trip to Maribor and the following is an account of it. “It was Saturday morning. Društvo ‘Sloga’ was scheduled for a concert and about 11:30 I found myself wedged between one hundred fifty mušic con- servatory officials, professors and the renowned opera singers of Ljubljana, at the Glavni Ko¬ lodvor, waiting for the special flyer which was to take us to Maribor. High spirits reigned supreme, throughout the trip. And, of course, there wss a band to greet us on our ar rival; there were welcome speeches by the Mari¬ bor officials and there were end- less trips through the city whicl|. is very well established, haviifg noted schools, commercial builV- ings and parks. Evening Successful The singing was wonderful. Madame Love had the leading part and was assisted by Ma¬ dame Medved, Messrs. Joseph, Gostič and Marian Russ. After the performance the en- tire group was invited to a ban- quet which was held on the roof of the kavarna of the new and modern hotel, “črni Orel.” American Slovenes Remembered As the evening was a great success, everyone was happy and elated. Mr. Svetel, the conduc- tor was presented a beautiful silver wreath and speeches were given solemnizing the occasion. What was most thrilling, how- ever, was the fact that they mentioned my presence as an American and drank a toast to the strengthing of the tie be- tween American Slovenes and the Slovenes in Europe. There was a unanimous applause and really I felt I wanted to do some thing right away. Later on we sang national songs and I almost felt as if I were in unison with them; that I had never been in America. Slovenes Wonderful People What I would like to stress is the fact that most people form a criticism of the lower clases (I don’t know why) which is not always favorable, and when they do actually meet dyed-in-the- wool Slovenes, they marvel at the dignity of their bearing, thei r noble character and the characteristics which make them such a proud and spirited people. Evening Educative The next evening we attend* ed the violin concert of Carl Rupel, a noted artist and then also the premier of Novak’s mod¬ ern and comic opera “Lucerna.” That is how the evenings are spent in Ljubljana. There is only one misgiving that I carry about and that is that I contin- ually wish some of the Cleve¬ land friends were with me to enjoy this great feast that has so generously been spread before me by Slovenia. Best regards to ali Journal friends. —Pauline Sunday, November 15, is the day dedicated to the opera “Tur¬ jaška Rozamunda.” Ali mušic lovers and ali cultural Slovenes will be present that evening. The curtain of the Slovene Na¬ tional Home will again open to the portrayal of the life of Slo¬ venes and this time the scenes will be depicted from the times of the Turkish invasion, so vi- vidly retained in the heart of our people. Rozamunda, the beautiful but haughty maid will be sung by Miss Josephine Milavec. The role of Ostrovrhar, her lover, will be assumed by Mr. Frank Plut and that of Lelia, the Turkish beau- ty, by Miss Jeanette Sterle. Mr. Louis Belle will be Trou- badour. Teta will be sung by Mrs. Mary Ivanusch, one of the composers of the opera. Vatro Grili will be Piccolo and the role of the father of Roza¬ munda has been • assigned to Mr. Mario Kolenc. Mrs. Antoinette Simčič will act the role of Celin, a maid, in this opera, and her lover, Mr. Stanley Kokotec will be the Gardener. Other roles will be assumed by Mesdames Kramer, Lever, Plut and Miss Danc,y Mandel. The dancers will be under the direction of Miss Zel Cankar. Ali the stage soctumery has been carefully depicted from the fifteenth century and the scenes will be resplendent with color and the bustles of that era. Mr. John Ivanusch, v/ho is largely responsible for the pro- duction of the opera, has care- fully directed the chorus and it. will be a pleasure to listen to the rich and trained voices in- s'pired by the harmony and the beauty of the genuine Slovene melodies. Zarja has a well-earned repu- tation for its members have on innumerable occasions charmed their audiences. Undoubtedly, Sunday evening will be another event in their golden book of song successes.

On the Avenue The fashion calendar has re- turned to the Victorian cycle and the modern creations de- signed to serve the fashionable milady repeat, as much as pos- sible the Empire mode and focus the style to serve the conserva- tive demand. It seems that every froclc must have distinctive puff sleeves, romantic broad shoulders, a square neckline, and intriguing seaming that emohasizes slim- ness of waist and hips. Some of the gowns have the epaulet ef- fect in the shoulders and others, on display, have capelets and smart scarfs. With the return of Empire fashions, there has also come about the return of femininity and hand work is again stressed as quite the thing. Fashion or no fashion a piece of art is continually note worthy and since there are a number of young ladies unemployed or working only part time, they might be interested in needle- work. Personally, I have rather a large collection of patterns, as I was at one time seriously inter¬ ested in old lace colleetions. If any of the readers would čare to use them, I would be only too glad to be of Service.

THE FOOD WE EAT We have ali sorts of measures to ascertain the length, consti- tuency etc., of an article, and in food we have the Calorie which is a measure of the heat a food produces in the body. The body is composed of celiš which build the bone, produce motion and are responsible for our thinking apparatus. 1hey are constantl? breaking down and needing re- pair, and in a child they are con- tinually increaslng in number. These celiš require food for ex- istence, which must be of a cell- forming variety. Classes of Foods The classes into which our foods are grouped are, carbohy- drates, fats and proteins. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and are great energy producers. They are, however, worthless as far as building of celiš is concerned. Fats produce heat and keep the body warm. Fat is contained in Cod liver oil whic,h is an ex- cellent food medicine. Proteins furnish the muscle. bone, skin celiš and are consid- ered building foods. The pro¬ tein material is usually of ani- mal origin—fish and meat—and is also contained in a large abundance in peas, beans a.nd likewi.se in nuts. And, we might suggest to, the housekeeper, peas and beans are cheaper than fish, and meat and contain as much protein. Breakfast Food Values The following is an eštimate of breakfast food values: Rich in c,arbohydrates: oat- meal, apples, bread, chocolates, crackers, (Graham-Soda) jelly, prunes. In fats: eggs, milic, butter. Coffee is a stimulant and not a food, and in most cases harmful. The above breakfast foods also contain a sufficient quan~ tity of protein substance to be¬ gin the day’s work right. It j ust deppnds on the housekeeper to arrange a well-prepared, econ- omical menu. GET-TOGETHER PARTY Last Hallowft’en eve the C. C. girls, together with their many friends, bade farewell to their summer home in Euclid, Ohio.

Dramatic Incidenta of Sloveni History (Continued from page two) ran to the garden and picked up a bee hive. Like r she hurried to the wall and with a mighty eff 0rt peaceful village of bees landed in the midst of winning Moslems. Terror, surprise, consternation, madness, p ar the Turks tried to free themselves of the little b bodies that buzzed around their heads, but as i and more were dropped down, they fled in ali qj tions wondering what had turned their vietor shameful rout. (From Lea Fatur’s “Trpljenje in Junaštvo žene) S!ovenske JUGOSLAV BOOKS ADDED TO SHEBOYGAN LIBRARY Over 80 Slovene books have re- cently been added to the Public Library of Sheboygan, Wis. This is the beginning of the estab- lishment of a Slovene Depart¬ ment in the Library, which thus far carried no foreign books. The books which have been bought include novels by the best known Slovene authors and volumes on technical subjeots. That the books have been pro- cured is due to the efforts of the Jugoslav Federation, an or- ganization whose aim is to pro- mote the Jugoslav language among the younger set.
