Fhe article shows how every day some nevv accomplishment of the Slovenes comes to light and how because of this they are get- ting recognized the world over. This recognition, however, is coming after the War, after the Slovenes have been freed of the Aus trian Tule under which ali credit that the Slovenes deserved vzent to the Hapsburgs.

SJovene personages coming to America have also aid- ed in this cause and helped the young people to iget conscious of their mother tongue.

When the Cleveland Stadium held the largest number of peo¬ ple in its history, the Slovenes were playing an important part in making the H. N. S. rally one of the outstanding things that has been held, in Cleveland for some time. Slovenes from ali sections ol Cleveland and most heavily from Collinvzood, did their bit to make the event memorable. Before the ceremonies and speeches had started the St. Mary’s Band' from Collinvzood did its share to fo- cus the spotlight on Slovene in¬ terest in doings of greater Cle¬ veland. Though their number was small they reaped their share of applause from the at- tendance. Forty boys, vested in colorful garments vzere in the parade, added to them the Slo¬ vene clergy. But the 'band and the boys did* not end the share vvhich the Slovenes played in the affair. Mr. John Trček was busy on the general committee weeks before time to make the affair as suc¬ cessful as it vzas. When the various choirs took their turns to sing even there the Slovenes were represented by Max Sodja as a member of the Seminary Choir. Many Slovenes from Col¬ linvzood and other sections vzere in the stands. It vzas a monstrous rally day for the Cleveland-ers and the Slo¬ venes did their bit to make it successful.

The announcement had long been expected. There had been 9 o’clock, if in- rumors of such restoration for a ' year and a half, but each time found further postponement.

Of most interest is the report vvhich deals with Cleveland’s law violators, taken from the Police records of March 1931. Here, also the immigrants are far more respecting -of the lavvs than the natives. The Slovenes also come out very vzeli in this report of the March Police record. In ali there were 1 2 1 arrested during March, but onlv three are listed as Slavs, vvhich includes ali Slavs, except Poles and Czechs. There- fore there vvere' only three Slavs arrested in Mhrch for law viola¬ tion.

The active Slovene Library in the Na¬ tional Home also proves this, as do the various cultural societies that meet there.

With A Pro¬ gram of Colorful Events Before another vveek is over the 7th regular convention of the Slov. Mutual Benefit Ass’n will have held most of its sessions and only the finals will be needed to be completed. Thus in an¬ other week another important function of the Mutual Benefit Ass n will have been completed. Conventions are always important to an organization; they revive sornd of the ambitions of the organization; they clear the atmiosphere for greater action; they are places where nevV and greater ideas are eocchanged; they give opporunities for establishing a policy for the ensuing years and thus make for the lively action with which the S. D. Z. has alwavs been identified. Hoping that the forthcoming convention will have the great- est beneficial results for the organization in which the younger members will have a voice in the offices so that they will be rep- rasented and that some action besides athletics will be instituted by the membership at large, so ,that, the younger people will feel that it is their organization. The Cleveland Journal-the voice of the young people bids the Seventh Convention of the Slov. Mutual Benefit Ass n the heartiest vvelcome. Mav its members enjoy themselves to the full- est in their stay in Cleveland. Americans and Crime Of ali the discussed reports and documents which are con- tinually attracting attention of the people of America, the Wicker- sham reports with their inadequate and incomplete data. third de- gree exposure,” and other interesting figures on the crime situation in America and what is cost the Federal and State governments in law enforcement hold. first plače today. The same report holds the interesting reports and discovery of the fact that the foreign born and those of the first and second generation of foreign born are not the ones vvho are populating the jails of the country today. At least the number is, in proportion, much less than sociologists would have had us believe in the past. The charge was made that it is the foreign born, the ignornant (?) immigrant vvho defies the laws and causes law enforcement agencies to have the criminal nightmares which America is experiencing today. The Wickersham report proves rather conclusively that this is not the čase and that it is the native 1 00 percent American who is giving the country tho reputation as one of the most lawless nations in the vvorld. The situation as such has been known to private investigators in the rfiestion of crime but their voices have not been loud enough to be heard over the crowd of blamers who insisted on tagging the foreign born with the stigma of undesirables. It was also a known čase. that the immigrants in Europe are very moral in the matter of crime and the crime statistics that comt from the law departments in Europe that show the proportional percentage of criminal per thousand population is so slight in Eu¬ rope that if the same condition existed in America we would call crime non-existant. That is the result of the high moralitv of the people who do not change in character bv the trip over the ocean. It is the customs and the habits of mind which make the immigrants desirable on this side of the water and it is only when they have lost it ali and the assimilation has been completed that thery become dangerous to society. While one could not hold that an immigrant should be a stranger in the country which has been adopted, one nevertheless feels sorry that somed.ay they will be reul Americans and share in giving the countrv its reputation of lavvlessness. Customs whic.h the immigrant brings with him coupled with the high sense of morality should be encouraged and efforts be made to preserve ^ much as possiblo' so that the crime situation can be abated, to su.-.h an extent that it would be possible for chil¬ dren to play on the -ti r'e vvithout causing mothers to grow anxious vvhcther their oFsp^-g has not been shot to death by gangsters when a tire blovvs rvt. into line and marched to the nearby village, Spodnje Retnje, where stands the house in which Levstik was born. It was one of the most colorful and longest pa- rades vvitnessed in that plače. \Vhen the line of march reached the honored house, a list of speakers mounted the platform and told to the huge audience what a benefactor Levstik was to the Slovene nation. After a mu¬ šic concert, the participants start- ed back to Velike Lasce, where the main part of the program was being arranged. After the long walk the most logical thing to do, of course , was to sit down and partake of the splendid re- past which was prepared by the hosts. Tablet Is Unveiled The afternoon affair was really the zenith of the day. With the entire town in flags, they pro- ceeded to the village church vvhere there stands a statue of Levstik, where a special bronze tablet was unveiled commemor- ating this record-breaking event. Oton Zupančič, the greatest liter- ary mind in Slovenia today was given the honor of uncovering the plate, and after opening the figure he gave a long oration of Levstik’s literary merits. Zu¬ pančič was followed by speakers from ali over Europe, professors from ali the leading universities, and by the living Slovene authors. The evening brought a close to the festivities with an exhibi- tion of Levstik’s works. A novel feature of the day was the decoration of the square. Ali over could be seen quotations taken from the author’s works, mounted upo n trees, light posts and buildings. Never before had Slovenia seen such a celebration in honor of any writer, but it was worthy of the author. Levstik’s Life Story Fran Levstik was born in Spodnje Retnje on September 28, 1831 and died on November 16, 1887. Besides being one of Slovene’s leading poets he is known as a philologist. His phil- ological studies and critical es- says are gems to the Slovene language and literature. He is a poet, stili he , is considered as having done to Slovene prose what Prešeren did for Slovene poetry. His outstanding works are ‘‘Martin Krpan”, “Potovan¬ je” and “Napake Slovenskega Pisanja.” sharp with $1.50 a plate. During the banquet the Simončič orches- tra will play. Thursday evening will be “S 1 . D. Z. Night” vv th a program in the hali in which thei S. D. Z. Honor Guards vri 11 appear in fit- ting drills. The Honor Guard is composed of only S. D. Z. girls under the Hadership of Mrs. Albina Novak. Ali members that have been admitted into the or¬ ganization during the past year will also be initiated i n that night, Should the convention last over Thursdav a dance will be given on Friday night, with the “Four Harmonv Aces” supply- ing the mušic and admission be¬ ing 35 cents. A Week of Work The lodges of Collinwood have gone to a big expense in enter- taining the delegates and the list of events shows that their money and efforts were not vvasted, for at no other convention were the i delegates feted in such grand style as they will be during the coming week. Much work awaits the dele- gatefs, but an equal amount of amusement v ill also be given hem. The seventh convention of the S. D. Z. has many important decisions to make, but with ali delegates being sane, retepected men and women, it should be one of the most suc.cessful affairs in the historv of the S. D. Z. The American Legion of Eu¬ clid is sponsoring an eventfu. program for its numerous mem¬ bers and friends, With event: open to ali, there is a total o fouxteen prizes to be given away A feature gift will be a Model / Ford (Coupe or Sedan). Baseball Game at 3:00 P. M. In order to make the day suc cessful the committee has booked a baseball game, bringing to- gether the Linnert Dairy team who boast a record of 30 vic- tories against 4 defeats, and th Pioneers who are leading the Ir terlodge League. The Pioneer are tough opposition and as th Linnert Dairies were anxious to mee them, the game promises to be a knockout. The date is Saturday, Septem¬ ber ] 2, vvhere, at Euclid Beach and who’s hoding it, the Ameri¬ can Legion. There is no doubt but that everybody wil! have a good time. NEW ORCHESTRA ACCLAIMED Improving ©n Nature People with a sense of beauty hidden in their soul and who for their vacations have taken to the open road, have been quick to notice that in some States the billboard is destroying some of the beautiful scenery with which our cou,ntry abounds. For yeiars the war against the billboards—the unnecessary eyesores—has been vvaged by Chambers of Commerce, Park Boards, Automobile Clubs, with some effects. \^arious S*tates have adopted Iaws to curtail or to regulate the use of outdoor advertis- ing along roads which lead cross-country. That the various bodies have achieved their goal is an idle premise. Billboards stili appear in the scenery where they are not wanted, offering wares which travelers are in no mood td pur- chase. Economic motives will be the thin^s vvhich will rid the country sid.e of the “improvements on nature.” When the ad- PLANE AGCIDENT CLAIMS YOUNG PILOT MR. ANTON GRDINA RE- TURNS FROM EMIGRANTS’ CONGRESS Last Saturday found Mr. and Mrs. Anton Grdina returning from a three month s trip to Jugoslavia vvhere they had attended the Em- igrants’ Congress held at Ljub¬ ljana, Zagreb and Beograd. Mr. Grdina did much for the Ameri¬ can Slovenes vvhile In Europe,, making relations vvith Slovenia much brighter. The papers in Jugoslavia cheered his coming— thruout the tcur vvrote much abouf him. It is certain that Mr. Grdina has much to teli about his experiences, besides having many pictures to show, as he had taken movies of ali principle olaces in Jugoslavia, also the event of the unveiling of the Vil¬ har monument. That Mr. Grdina vvas popular in Slovenia and that l hev will miss him, can be seen from the beautiful farevvell party u hey made him on the eve of his departure for America. It vvas given by the Rafeal organization on August 18th, at the Worker’s Home in Liubliana. Last Saturdav, the lovver hali of the Slovene National Home vvas packed to capacity as the George Washington Lodge held its first dance of the season. From every point of vievv, the dance vvas a complete success. Making its debut at this dance vvas a nevv Slovene orchestra— Vic Svetee and His Silvertone Orchestra, and it vvas as fine as anyone vvould vvish. Applause follovved applause as the orches¬ tra finished vvith ali the latest hits of the day. Vic Svetee’s Silvertone Or¬ chestra is a finished unit, vvell balahced andl capably diredied —it should go far vvith its vvork. Everyone at thei dance vvas en- thusiastic over the mušic and then and there the nevv orchestra be- came as popular as it vvas in years past under the name of Car- rolFs Silvertone Orchestra.

Kostanjšek^ Homer Is Deciding Blow in 5 - 0 Victory Scene Sunday, 3:00 P. M. at Gordon Park The Midvale Oils vvho claim the international feminine indoor title divided the six games vvhich they played during their Canadian invasion. Jean Simms southpavv ace, hurled the Mid- vales to two of the 3 victories. Bud Weiser’s team is favored to win the local title in the GiiTs League. KAPLAFKA INJURED AT TORONTO Emil Kaplafka, local luminary bali hawk, former Černe Jevveler and Kibler Clothes star, received a broken noše from a bali vvhile preping up the Midvale Girls at Toronto, Canada. Fans vvith good memories are stili recalling the seven knock- outs. They are calling to mind j the smashing and bang-up Billy; Gardner, Babe Dunning clash;| Modic - MqIntosh four round ‘ shindig; Don Bernard - Johnny Woods great four rounder; vvhich vvas very close ali the way; Per- sin’s hectic right sock vvhich put the lights out for Novsak; Smith’s three round bloody vvin over Bil- ly Sommers, vvho gavo plenty but took a little more in return; Komar and Mordus dancing, punching, islapping Jexhibition vvith the former vvinning a sur- prise victory; Billy Burn s rip- ping rights and lefts vvhich final- ly kavoed Joe Pressinger. The later hovvever, did plenty of slugging before going down. And vvho doesn’t recall the two slash- in§. 160 pounders Lenarsic and Delgoudio. They started in at the beli and blazed away for fully a minute as the crovvd vvent wild. Leharsic connected beau- tifully vvith a hard left putting Delgoudio in a reclining posi- tion. And one of the best feather- weights in the city, lcky Mesnick tcok up the patron’s time for only a minute in knocking out the tough Stan Gerlock. Topping this off vvas the 40 pound Kotnik - Godič battle vvhich greatly pleased the cus- tomers. And the surprise of the eve- ning, the National Amateur Heavyweight, Jack Pallat ap¬ peared long enough to stowaway Rudy Gersin. The promoter is angling for return bouts of several of the pervious performers, vvho per- formed in such pleasing style. A game that will be plenty ex- citing will be the battle betvveen the Pioneers and the S. Y. M. C., in what is called a “rubber” con¬ test, to be played Sunday, after noon at 3:00 p. m. at Gordon Park. The Young Men edged the Pioneers in their first meet- ing but the C. F. U. boys evened the count in their next appear- ance. The Pioneers are leading the circuit, having but one black mark against them, vvhile the S. Y. M. C. are practically out of the running. The Pioneers are depending on Frankie Makovic to bring home the bacon—vvhen Frankie in “on”, the bacon is home. The S. Y. M. C. in their last appearance on the field had one of the most povverful teams in their lineup. It vvas the failure of the players to appear at their games that put them out of the running. Twin Yerse, altho he had a terrible record during his team’s slump, pitched super'bly against the Loyalites allovving but one hit and if his arm is in shape the going vvill be pretty tough for the opposition. G. W.’s Next for Pioneers Wednesday evening at 6:00 o’clock, the Pioneers vvill tangle vvith the G. W.’s Altho the Tree Choppers are low in the stand- šngs they have surprised some of their better opponents and have had the Pioneers play snappy bali in their last meeting dropping a 3 - 1 verdict. The Betsy Ross again display- ed some of their neat playing as they edged the leading Boosters by a 5 - 3 count. The Flagmakers have tvvo more games to play, one vvith the Progressives and the other against the Clairvvoods. If they vvin both, they vvill perch on top of the B group, and if they vvin only one, the Boosters, Clair¬ vvoods and the Flagmakers vvill be throvvn into a triple tie. The Betsv Ross bovs hopped on to Gulič for tvvo runs in the third on tvvo hits and a walk and then tallied three times in the eighth on a vvalk and three hits. The Boosters scored in the first frame on an error and a hit, but vvere then held helpless by Holovvenko until the ninth vvhen they scored tvvice on tvvo hits and a vvalk. The Flagmakers vvere outhit, 8 to 6 but hit, vvhen safeties vvere j needed. Holovvenko, the ace of the Flagmakers, fanned* but one man and vvalked four, but superb fielding pulled him thru. Gersin vvas the hitting fool, as he con¬ nected for three singles. Florjančič brought in the first run vvith a tvvo bagger. Gulič, the losing hurler, breezed '1 1 batsmen and vvalked tvvo. Lokar gatheredi tvvo doubles to take batting honors. Nagy came thru vvith a pair of singles. MAY CO., GIRLS ELIMINATED The May’s vvere eliminated from further competition in the Girl’s League by the Bauer Foods, 22 to 15. The poor defensive play of the May Co., team vvas again respon- sible for the loss as they made 1 4 errors. PAYS FOR PRINTING OF FIGHT DUCATS Mr. Louis J.

Your letter probably may succeed or fail because of the impression you make on the reader at the beginning. In general correspondence, the writer should hit at the heart of his subject in the early part of the letter. Do not strangle your letter vvith age-old phrases. Chief among violations of this nature are the follovving time-vvorn phrases. VIA—Latin again! Use oui own American “by" instead. JAUNARY 1 st, FEBRUARV 2nd, MARCH 3rd—The vvriter Vvho uses these is behind the times. “st” “nd” and “rd” are no longer considered necessary. The proper mode noVv is simplji “JANUARY 1, 2, or 3.” WE HAVE YOUR LETTER OF THE ABOVE DATE—Con- fusing! If you must mention the letter, do not be lazy, mention the idate and fojrever discalrd “above" for that use. WE WOULD STATE—Jusi go ahead and teli it. MUTUAL—A sadly over- vvorked word that is often mis- used. Do not writes “This will be of mutual interest to both you and me.” Simply write, It wili be of mutual interest.” BOTEi YOU AND ME is merely a repe- tition of the thought containeo in “Mutual.” ESTEEMED FAVOR—jlnsin- cere.

It is our adaptation to this mystery of existence the prod- uct of our concentration and alert ness on the opportunities thal are constantly being offered tc us, that mark us for the “bears’ or “bulls” in the market of the everlasting tribunal of humanity Some of us are lucky enough to go to high schools and colleges.

EAST END SOCIAL CLUB PLANS DANCE AND CARD PARTY At thei last special meeting of the East End Social Club, a dance and card party was decided to be held at the National Home on Waterloo road, October 14th.

Since this attraction will last for only a short while, those who feel that the)y are leaders and who have that vvhole-hearted sympathy with their com,munity, atre utrged to join. The president of the club is M*rs. Jos. Smrekar of 17201 Grovewood avenue. At the social to be held Oc¬ tober 14th, admission will be only 50c, and the proceeds of the evening will be used fot charity work during the Christ- mas season.

The bride was attired in an elegant gown of ivory satin. The very long skirt with its graceful flare and also the long sleeves accentuated the stateliness of the bride. An ivory net veil was vvorn, arranged in the cap effect and held with sprays of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of calla lilies. The sister of the groom, Miss Mary Fifolt, was the maid of honor and the only attendant. She selected a peach satin gown for the occasion and wore a peach chiffon velevt turban to match. Her bouquet was composed of peach roses. The groom chose Mr. Peter Grubelnik as best man. A reception was held at the home of the bride for the rela- tives of the bridal couple and only immediate friends.

The luxurious rooms give one the effect of restfulness and comfort and the j home atmosphere has been in- terwoven most skillfully to give the visitor the feeling of security instead of the cold and spiritless sense of drearv tombs.
