Going to New York is not al- ways a sign that there is im- portant business to transact on Wall Street nor is it always a sign that when one leaves for New York that it is to have a good time in the gayest city of America. Neither of the reasons would explain tHe going of Mrs. Jos. Zorman who has left Cleveland last Friday to go to New York to spend her summer there. Her reason for going is to spend the summer in intense stucly at the New York School of Social Science and to be better equip- ped for social work in which she is intensely interested. Always interested in social Science and sociology Mrs. Jos. Zorman has worked ali her life at the study of sociology and vvas interested in the Science since her high school days. Her interest was increased when she actually got into the study dur¬ ing her college days at Notre Dame. Constant contact with bodies of people who do that sort of work in the city has not ■Tminished her interest and now thru The connection with the lo- cal Association for the Cripples and Disabled her interest vvas so great and her realization that greater and more efficient work could be aecomplished if she re- ceived further knowledge in the specialized Sciences that she was enrolled in the courses of Psy- chiatry and allied studies at the New York school of Social Sciences at New York. The New York School of So¬ cial Science is an affiliated school of thfe Columbia Univer- sity of New York and is a high- ly specialized school in sociology. Connected with the school there are many settlements at which the students work and gain the practical experience and pr o ve the theories that they study. Mrs. Joseph Zorman together with other students at the school will work as a part of the field work requirement at one of the Italian settlements of New York. Having been a graduate of Notre Dame High and Notre Dame College, Mrs. Joseph Zor¬ man has studied in the Womens’ College of Western Reserve U- niversity but work In the field has prevented her to take a de- gree from that University and now that she has a little more time and sees that she can be more useful in her work with people she has gone to New York to be gone until the first part of September. “I really do not know how it will feel to go to New York ali by myself. I do not think that Fll get home sick especially since there will be so much to do and the study of sociology and ali the other related Science is so interesting. The work with the Italian children will be a completely new experience and that will serve to break up the time. I know I‘li miss Cleveland but Pil be back in September and that is not such a. long time,” Mrs. Jos. Zorihan stat- ed before she left. Preparations, serious prepar¬ ations are being made by the S. S. P. Z. lodges of Cleveland for the hundreds of visitors who will come to Cleveland on the occa- sion of the inter lodge that will be held in Cleveland on July 4. Visitors from ali the parts of the country are expected to come. Although the bulk of the visitors will come from, Chicago from the neighboring cities in Pennsylvania and the cities and towns of Ohio where the S. S. P. Z., organization has its lod¬ ges. Tentative as the plans so far are they include a reception at the New Union Terminal for the arrival of the guests from where they will be taken in autos to the Slovene National Home on St. Clair avenue to have breakfast. In conjunction with the breakfast there will be a short program that will feature Spartans. In the afternoon there is a game scheduled between the Spartan team and some other team which has not been defin- itely settled yet. The outcome of the game will be an awarding of a cup. The game will be iheld at the picnic grourids at Pintar’s famous plače. Beside the game there will be the regular fea- tures of an outing in the after¬ noon. The schedule for the evening calls for a sightseeing trip and dance at the Slovene National Home. The schedule for the Fourth is causing the Clevelanders a lot of work and much preparation because they are anxious to make the day a memorable one for ali the visitors who will come as one of the finest days that they have had in connec¬ tion with Cleveland and the S.

Az- veda, S. N. D. have accomplish- ed what would be considered im- possible for a publication that has been in the field for less than a year. There are people who are in- clined to say that a publication of a paper of that kind is a use- less task and serves only to di- vert the attention of the stu¬ dents from their serious studies. One look at the editorial board as it appear in the pages of the Junior News would be sufficient to convince that there are some people who have found the paper a mode of expression that would have to be denied if there was no publication such as the St. Vitus Junior News. There are many features of the paper that are so gotten up that it would be impossible to think that it could be done bet¬ ter and the most impressive thing is the fact that every bit of the work is done by the stu¬ dents of the school only. The stories, the illustrations, the ads, the business management and ali the other things that go to make the paper are the work of the pupils themselves. Th paper itself has a maga¬ zine format and is mimeograph- ed having about 40 pages filled on both sides with interesting news of the activity of the scihool children in and out of school. It is published 1 every sixth week of the school year under the editorship of Miss Christine Orehek who is helped by a staff of 29 exclusive the advisor Sister Mary Azveda S. N. D.

On June 22, 1930 at 3:30 p. m. it will present a typical Slo¬ vene Wedding scene for the Spring Festival of the Nations at Edgewater Park. About thirty girls, dressed in boys’ and girls national costumes will participate. Various Slovene dramatic and singing societies are helping by lending costumes and properties which will be needed. Although each scene will last about nine minutes, it will in- directly determine the cultural standing of the nationality con- cerned. The Jugoslav-Slovene Club has been taking an active and sincere interest in the vvhole affair and the rehearsals have been attended with remarkable promptness and animation. Of course, each rehearsal has meant j ust another wedding. A Maypole Dance of the Na¬ tions will be the opening scene in which girls of ali nationali- ties will participate, each in her individual, variegated national costume. The following is a list of some of the clubs which will be participants in the program: The Athena Club will perform an Ancient Greek Classical Dance and the Polish Club of girls will dance the “Mazurka.” There will be a Spring Festival furnished by the Czecho-Slovak Club and a Hungarian Fali Festi val including the Vintage Cele- bration. The Roumanian Club will present a Wedding Scene and vvill show the bride’s car- riage covered with the bride’s trousseau: The “Tarantella” or the popular Italian quadrille vvill -be d-anced by the Italica Club. Coupled with these scenes there will be mušic, peasant singing and dancing. The Festival will be held out- side on the lawn in front of the Shell. Everyone is urged to attend this remarkable presentation.

According to prepara¬ tions the picnic will not 'be j ust another picnic but it will be “bigger and better” if the Loy- alites can do anything about it and they have everything to do about it. As a hint of the things that will make it bigger and better the Loyalites will not be alone in the picnic but they have join- ed forces with the Mir. No. 142. They have made ali the prepar¬ ations to make it a grand time for everyone who will be pres¬ ent. Fine mušic, eats and drinks such as they know how to serve will be a part of the routine work and there will be many features which are not the pai’t of the regular picnic.

OUR C0STLY VIR¬ GIN ISLANDS Of ali the times of the year Summer time is set aside for vacation and of ali the times when a glorious time can be had Summer is the ideal. Shining san, green trees, summer flowers, babbling brooks, warm waves lapping the lake shore, the droning of the slow moving beetle and the siren singsong of the flying insects, ali are con- ducive to laying aside the daily things of life and to lay back in the luxurious indolence and an indulgence in a little laziness. Originally summer time was a time of work and schools were conducted in winter because that was the time oi* rest and the time when there was nothing else to do but to rest and the time when one could in- dulge in sleeping a little longer and the time when one could be lazy. Except for a few necessary chores the day was spent doing only those things whjch -kept one from complete inactivity. Summer was the time when the greatest part of the people were busy with the farm. Working on the farm is a summer occupation. School sessions were arranged to be conducted in the wintei( when there was nothing to do. In the course of time the idea that because school let out in the last part of May or the early pai;t of June Summer, it was a time when people oughUto rest. And it is a wonderful idea that people have gotten an idea that there is a need for a vacation. Vacation time is something more than a timje in which there is nothing to do but indulge in luxur- ious indolencev Vacation time of ali times of the year offers a period Miss Eleanor Sunderland, Li- brarian of the St. Clair Branch Library sailed on June llth on the Mauretainia for a summer trip to Jugoslavia. Landing at Cherbourg, she will cross France Switzerland and Austria on her way to Ljubljana where she ex- pects to spend much of her time. With great eagerness is she an- ticipating the visit to Lake Bled, summer resort of Jugoslavia. In her itinerary are also var- ious boat and motor trips, for instance the trip from Split to Dubrovnik and from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo of infamous history. Miss Sunderland has been in contact vvith Jugoslavs, especi- ally the Slovenes for many years that is ever since she came to St. Clair Library. Therefore she realizes that by visiting the pid country from vvhich many of her borrovvers come she will better be able to understand them, their literature and their customs. Of interest is the fact that =11 Vvill ca-11 on the various book dealers in Ljubljana from vvhom we purchase our Slovene books thereby estab-lishing the link which no doubt will be of value to ali concerned. Miss Sunderland will return to the library sometime in Au- gust. Another member of the St. Clair Staff has gone a-traveling. Miss Margaret Brown, the First Assistant, is taking a most in- teresting vacation trip. One of the outstanding features of her trip is the American Library Association Convention in Los Angeles, California, scheduled for the last vveek in June. Previous to attending the A. L. A. Miss Brown is visiting friends in Olmito, Texas. From there she goes on to Los Angel¬ es where she will spend about ten days.

VITUS JUNIOR NEWS (Ccntinued from page ene) unless a vacation crammed full of activity is planned, it is a time when a few minutes are left for mental re- flection and a mental inventory of the shorteoming of the past year and a retrospect of lost opportunities. Vacation with its precious moments for reflection can be the most productive time of the year and though short can have the most wide reaching influence. It is during vacation time that a plan for the future can be made and the new year can be planned so as to be most productive for vacationer and ali the people with whom he comes into contact. Fundamentally the idea is that vacation is a time when the body gets a rest from the hustle and the bustle and the routine of daily existence but its by product a time for reflection and the consequent planning for the next year should be the physical and the mental rest for the vacationer and a benefit for ali with whom he gete into contact. Instead of making it a period of intense activity and a constant hurry from plače to plače seeing many things and doing hundreds of things every va¬ cationer should plan a little time for reflection and give the world the benefit of his vacation by coming back to work a little more eheerful and adding just a wee mite to making this world just a litfte better plače to live in. would do creclit to persons many years older. with its impersonal view and the hundreds of other publica- tions of the same sort to judge from is a great indorsement of the paper.

The Virgin Islands of the United States, consisting of the islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John and some 50 smaller ones mostly uninhabited, form the “elbow” to this crooked arm and are considered the closest point in the group to Europe. Ever since these islands were diseovered by Colupibus on his second voyage in 1494 they have had more or less of a checkered career. They h-ave been in the possession at various times of Spain, England, France, Hol- land and Denmark. Abraham Lincoln was the first to advo- eate their acquisition for the U. S. It was in 1865 that he, thru Secretary Seward, offered Den¬ mark $5,000,000 for the islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John. But Denmark held out for 50 per cent additional for the islands of St. John and St. Thomas. Negotiations for the islands also failed in 1901 and again in 1910. But in 1917 the Danish minister at Washington accepted a treasury warrant for 325,000,000 from Secretary Lan- sing and the islands changed hands. Now the Virgin Islands com- prise a total area of only 142 square miles. In other words the entire group has little more than twice the area of the District of Columbia. Thus it is that the United States paid a. higher priče per aere for these islands than for any of its other per- haps more famous purchases.

It is rare that a school can boast of a poet in its ranks but that is the claim that St. Vitus can make for one of its oupils, Angola Abram vvho for express the thanks to ali who have helped so unstintingly. In fact when any mention was made of the wonderful success. that the school has achieved she was insistant that without the help ‘ of everybody it wou-ld was a pleasure not a drugery,” Sister M. Azveda expressed herself. Editorial Board aere for Alaska, 14 for Florida, 27 for the Philippines and $35.- 83 for the Canal Zone, the Vir¬ gin Islands cost us approximate- ly $295 an aere. Just why was Uncle Sam so anxious to get possession- of these small islands that. he saw fit to pay the stupendous priče of $25,000,000 for them? The main reason, of course, was to prevent them from falling into the hands of possible enemies. On the other hand the chief value of the islands to this coun- try is the St. Thomas harbor, which is probably one of the best d-eveloped harbors in the West Indies, and Coral Bay on the island of St. John. The St. Thomas harbor is naturally pro- teeted exVept from exceptional- ly strong hurrieanes. It has even been said of this harbor that it is on the road to every- where because past this point steams much of the traffic be- tween Europe and the Panama Canal, between the Lesser and Greater Antilles, and between New York and South and Cen¬ tral America. And /Coral Bay, although undeveloped, is larger and said be be a better pro- teeted harbor of refuge. Soon after the islands were purchased by the- United States the population was slightly more than 26,000. This was only little more than half the popu¬ lation registered in 1835, and in formal survey in 1927 indicated that it had continued to de- crease. For at that time the population of the three islands was shown to be slightly more than 20,500. The continued de- crease is credited to the free en- try into Continental United States where opportunities are greater.

SUHADOLNIK “Lublanfke Novize” of Vodnik’s days were not. the nevvspaper of the modern day. Due to strict cen- sorship and the nevvspapers of that time vvere not al- lowed to talk official matters except those which were released for publication. Therefore the nevvspapers of that time vvere only the bulletin of the government only in matters that the government vvished the peo¬ ple to know. The contents told of the official or semi- official reports of the vvars or other matters vvhicll vvere released. Besides this they carried news of the various communities and of Slovenia or other pla-ces that vvere of interest; nevvs of inventions, discoverles, information of the latest vvrinkles in čare of the ani- mals or the human body and sundry other things vvhich vvere of daily interest. The Lublanfke Novize carried such nevvs but Vod¬ nik also put in some important history of the Slavs and in particular of the Slovenes under the head “Po- vedanje od flovenfkika jesika” vvhich appeared dur¬ ing 1797 and 1798. In the history Vodnik brings forth the theory that the Slavs -are a part of the Arian race and further develops the theory of hovv they came to the parts that they inhabit novv, their his- tory and character especially stressing the history of the Slovenes. In poetry the Lublanfke Novize carried very little. Among the other features are found only the Predgovori za novo leto, the Slovene tjanslation of the Emperor’s Hymn, and an imitation of Denis’ epi- grams in honor to Nelson. That is ali. His hardships and the nevvspaper he deserihes in a verse hand vvrit- ten in the bound volume of the Novize for 1799 vvhich is. stili kept in the library of Ljubljana. Tvvo years after Vodnik came to Ljubljana -he wa-s given the chair of Poetry in the University and almost simultaneously he undertook the vvork of con- tinuing of Kumerdej’s Dictionary vvhich Zois vvas anx- ious to have completed. As an example of the kind of vvork that he vvished to produce he used Adelung’s dictionary and vvith the help of several men he began diligent vvork. In 1813 he vvas ready for publica¬ tion. Tvvo sample pages vvere printed and sent to the possible subs-cribers, but the vvars of the time vvere not very ideal conditions for dictionaries and it re- mained in manuseript again. Matthevv Rabnikar bought the manuseript after Vodnik’s death and gave it to Father Metelko vvith the order that it be pub¬ lished as soon as possible. But Metelko v/as not able to complete the publication and eventually he gave the manuseript to “Slovenskemu društvu.” Whcn in 1854 the Bishop Aloysius Wolf decided to publish a Slovene dictionary. Vodnik’s German - Slovene part was used by the editor M. Cigale. Not only vvas the nevvspaper and the proiessor- ship and the dictionary the only things that Vodnik vvas interested in. He vvrote some practical books for daily use and translated some of the poetical vvorks from the Germon. In the former may be ci^ssed the “Kuharske bukve” vvhich appeared in 1799. In the latter class is put translation of “Der Hahanschlag” vvhich appeared under the head “Tinko Petelinček” vvhich vvas produced on the stage of the Ljubljana Theatre in the summer of 1803. In 1806 he publish¬ ed -a volume of poems under the title “Pesmi sa poku- fhino.” The volume is a collection of alt the poems from the Pratika and the Lublanfke Novize and very many nevv poems. The most interesting is the ode "Ver- shaz” in vvhich he forgets himseif and his practical vievvs and ascends above his natural style and sin-gs of the beauty and the might of the snovv capped mountains of his ovvn Slovenia, vvhich -force men to humble themselves and in vvhich the poet sees God’s beauty and might. Besicle the ode the interesting Pravlize Interest. Thus the poems personifying ani- mals are an ironic lesson to the daily habits of the Slo¬ venes. Beside there is the toast “To myself” and the anachronetic poems “Plesar” and “Star peviz, ne hoj, fe peti.” The vvhole volume shovvf the strong personality of the poet and the influence of the German poets es- pecially Gellert and Gleim and the light vem Greek poet who signed himseif as .Anakroentus of Tea. Fourteen of the poems vvere preserved in manuseript and. vvere published later in the “Ceelici” and stili later in the Complete Works of Vodnik edited by Smole. In the same style there remains some of the transla- tions from the old Grecian authors vvhich vvere collect- ed for a Gre \vh, ed through Slovenia they completely sU fP !eS tllC vv T as only vvith these things that they gainec fidence of the people.

League, played bali with some of the best teams, such as the Owls, Abels, Rosen- blums, Grdinas, and finally with Tellings in the O and P league. He was a tremendous hitter; the outfielders chasing many of his drives to the remotest cor- ners of the field. But “Jay,” as h e is known, also had a weak- ness, and the fans found as much delight in seeing him miss the bali by a foot and striking out, as they do in watching Babe Ruth puli a Casey. If the um- pire called a bad one he would fling his bat to the ground and make some such caustic remark to the ump as “take your glass eyes out and wash ’em”, or “you have a head but it only serves the purpose of holding your ears apart.” How poor Jay would rave while the crowd would jeer and boo him. Now that Louie is retired from playing he finds double en- joyment in cajlling balls and strikes, and when the batter kicks, he thinks of his own.hec- tic days when he used to kick up the dust. IT CERTAINLY WAS A TRE¬ MENDOUS WALLOP COMRABE - HARD-HEATE.D Joe Yarc, who is a member of the Comrades, forgot his many friends in that club last week wben he pitehed against them for the Geo. Washingtons of vvhich he is also a m-ember. His 'Iow bali and tvvister baffled the Comrades. They could only toUcih their ‘brother Comrade for seven hits, while twelve went via the strike out route. Man¬ ager Turk who started on the pitching mound for. the Com¬ rades allowed nine runs in four stanzas, which were the result of twelve hits and three errors. After this, little Eddie Zaletel took o ver the pitching responsi- bilities and did a good job of it, allovving only two hits in five innings. However, the Wash- ingtons managed to get four runs off him, vvhich vvere due to cost!y errors. ZaletePs double and single placed him above his mates in hitting. The cherry tree choppers”*’ leading svvaters were Glavan with three hits. Brezovar vvith two triples, and “Birchie” Kromar with a smasb ing four bagger. Score 13 - 4. Washingtons. (Played Thursdav, June 12, Madison School Grounds) In the S. D. Z. game Sunday, “Birchie” Kromar stepped into the batter’s box and unleashed a terrific hit that travelled to the distant pastures. After cir- cling the bases, he ran to the players bench vvith a triumphant smile. The crowd had its share of laughter. So did the umpire; when finally the ump was able to compose himself he inform- ed Kromar, who vvas shaking hands vvith his weTl-wIshers that his drive vvas. a foul bali —and such a crash in in vain.

The first on the list is a tangle betvveen last year’s Ma¬ jor League Champs, namely, the Comella Sports and the Gornik Habs. This game is booked for Gordon Park No. 1, at 10:00 a. m. The Habsmen lost out to the champions last year but only after a hitter struggle. Our boys vvill take the field vvith sev- eral new players vvho have help- ed in keeping the Gorniks in first plače, having yet to suffer their first defeat. What should make the game even more interesting is that the Comellas have tvvo Slovene lads, Ernie Zupančič and ‘Toots’ Milavec, in their line up. Now here comes the- rub, they are both former Gornik Habsmen. “Toots” and Ernie vvere the main cogs on the local team last year. It will be interest¬ ing to vvatch them when they face their buddie, Scufca, Ed. Kovačič, Yerse and Kubilus. Camera of the Sandlots at Gordon Park It is very likely that when “Maggie” Medveš-vvho catches for the Favorite Knits, squats behind the plate Sunday, he wil tremble when the Carnera of the sandlots, “Fat” Marsh, swings his way to the plate, for the big boy, is just getting his eye on the bali. “Fat” plays third base for the Rothbart champs. This tussle vvill be pla,yed at Gordon No. 2 at 3:00 p. m, R. Doljack, another Slovene covers the outfield for the Knits. Sternisha Motors vvill take on the povverful Kibler Clothes at Woodhill No. 4 at 3:90 p-, m. Mlinar Sweets vs Kaye Clean- ers, IVoodhill No. 3, at 12:30 p, m.

Ernie Zu¬ pančič crashing a single to right in the ninth inning and pulled a Ty Cobb vvhen he circled' the aases ahead of the bali at each base. Mihelič pitehed for the losers and Yerse for the vvin- ners.

We re- fer to the foul blovv delivered by Sharkey, vvhich, according to experts, vvas unintentional. Sharkey vvas not in danger, vvas leading by a great margin, and therefore, vvould not have to resort to such base tactics so arly in the fight. That is the vvay we sum up the situation.

The radio listeners nor the contestants, from a monetary dandpoint lost anything, — (Sharkey possibly vvill be fined ive thousand dollars by the Boxing Commission). But iow about the vast through that gathered to see a fight out of .vhich they expected to see a /hampion, a real’Champion vvith- out any question? It paid good money in. the hope of vievving a /lashing battle, bristling v/ith aetion. Instead it vvas treated to v title fight vvhich vvas unlike that of any other in ali history of pugilism. And this at a time vvhen boxing commissions boast ibout their iron fisted manage- ment of bouts. The puhlic, too, vvhich has been stung Ibeforef mly to come back for^ more, /orne in for its share of the, blame. For after ali, it is the puhlic that has made it possible for the promoters to reap such lucrative gates. We contend that they hold the vvhip in.hand and should make the promoters dance to their tune for a ohange. The point is that the promoters are allied vvith political interests vvhile the fight fans have onIy the Boxing Commission to reg- ulate affairs. These affairs, aovvever, are not alvvays man¬ aged for the best. Corning back again tp the fi- asco at the Yankee Stadium, vve cannot understand. vvhy the dumbfounded mob vvalked out of the park so mutely, vvithout anv protest, other than mo-mentarily berating the outeome. Certainly vve mu st admit that it vvas the public vvho vvas fouled, and this puhlic did not receive the com- pensation that the newly crovvn- ed Champion received for tvvelve rninutes of attempted fighting, along vvith prospeets for more. Why should seventy thousand people, among vvhoni vvere thou- sands of the so called elite, put up vvith such a racket. For after ali, that is ali that it is — a racket. The purpose being' to crovvd them in vvith a 'lot of ballyhoo as in a circus, the mere entranee carrving vvith it the fulfillment of the contract on the promoters part, irrespeetivc of vvhat follovvs. Imagine going to a major league^ bali game and then just because one of the players gets hurt, or it begins- to rain in the second inning, you vvould be sent home vvithout getting a rain check to warren + your seeing a vvhole game for vvhich you paid your money, graces vvith the public because thh officials make it their busi- ness to satisfy it. If boxing is to contiue on ah «pward trend, and enjoy the pa- tronage of the intellectuals, the wealthy, as weM as the bleaclj^r bug, some means wili have to be fonnd to modify present rulis particularly the foul blovv which is the source of ali trouble. We vvill make a suggestion, having in mind only the interesi of the fight-gomg public, vvith the hope that it vvill eventually stir somp one to improve on this idea and’ so b: ing about a benefit to ali concerned. Taking the Sharkey-Schmell- ing sorrovvful climax for an ex- ample, why should Schmelling be declared the Champion, vvhen the vvord Champion in the strict sen-se, means to be superior. To carry our point a little farther, suppose that Shai;key v/on four- teen rounds and then because he committed a foul uninten- tionally in the last round, he vvould he declared inferior to a man vvhom he vvas decisively beating. Would it be possil-le to respectfully recognize such a Champion ? It is trne that Schmelling, be¬ ing incapacrated as he vvas, could not contiriue. But why caiihot a fight vvhere a championship is involved, be finished the follovv- ing evening, thus giving' tffiT" customers a run for their money and not alone that, but also de- ciding the title in a fistic vyay and not leaving loop holes for a future time vvhen Champion« ships vvill be dorfated. The fight- er committing the foul vvould lose the round and vvith it a cer- tain percentage of his gate re- ceipt, to suffer the loss vvhich the promoter vvould otliervvise have to undergo for having to put on the shovv the nest day. The promoter .vvould further- more have the opportunity of selling more ducats vvhich vvould jo tovvards paying off another preliminary bout. The loss vvould then be borne ky the fighter vvho fouled, and not tho fight populace, as vvas the instance at the Yankee Sta¬ dium. Taking Sharkey’s čase, we ara certain that he vvould have been vvilling to take a twenty-five per c©nt cut, if he vvould- have been given' another chance. Schmelling, on the other hand, could then prove conclu- siveiy vshether he vvas the bet- ter man, vvithout having the .fans shell out another- three quarter of a million to fin d out after ali, that neither of them is a god, but that they are both only a pair of fisticuffers vvho attempt to make fighting their business. v We simplv cannot understand how the boxing game can hope prosper vvhen men traval miles, incur heavy expense be- fere and after the fight, only to have such a sorry state of ai- fairs prevai! like the present.

Also the only president who iater served as senator I Known as the “Tailor,” John¬ son was military governor of Tennessee \vhen he was nomin- ated for vice president \vith Ab¬ raham Lincoln, .the “Rail split- ter,” at the Baltimore conven- tion in 1864. “What will the aristocrats do with a rail splitter for president and a tailor for vice president?” he cynically remarked on that occasion. Jojhnson worshipped Lincoln unselfishly as a hero and did everything in hiš power to carry on Lincolni work after the assassination. Like Lincoln, Andy (as the martyred president called him) came of poor parents. He was born at Raleigh, N. C., in 1808. His mother, at a loss to know what name to give him, accept- ed the suggestion of a friend and named him “Andrew Jack¬ son Johnson,” Later, however, the “Japkson” was dropped. Strange enough, democratic An- drew Jackson’s slogan that the Union must be preserved, later became Johnson’s religion. He preached it from his tailor’s bench to the White House. Yes, Andy was a tailor. His father died when he was only five years old and his mother straitened circumdtances bound him out with his brother. Andy, a tailor’s apprentice, became ex- pert at the trade but after serv- ing six of the eight years he ran away. Later he returned, —settled up with the tailor, pack- ed his mother and his new step- father with their few belongings in a one-horse wagon and mi- grated to Tennessee. Johnson had many exciting battles in Tennessee \vhile run- ning for office in that s(pte where he served as alderman, mayor, state representative, senator and governor. He seent- ed to enjoy being heckled in his puhlic speeches for it gave him a chance for a stinging retort \vhich would win over the crowd to him more than ever. In the United States Senate Johnson showed his mettle when in 1880, as the only remaining Southern senator, he made his epoch- making speech for the Union. Lincoln thought so much of Johnson that he made him mili- tary governor of Tennessee to hold that state for the Union. In 1864 Johnson was elected vice president under Lincoln and in April of the following year suc- ceeded to the presidency upon Lincoln’s death. Then Johnson’s troubles began in earnest. His political enemies grew until they had a two-thirds majority in Congress. In order to prevent Johnson from firing Secretary of War Stanton, Congress passed an act providing. that the president could not remove any of his cab- inet secretaries. But Johnson fired Stanton nevertheless — thus bringing impeachment on his head. Congress, however, lacked one vote of convicting Andy and when Grant became president he indignantly wiped- the statute from the books. In 1926 the Supreipe Court vindica- ted Johnson by sayi:ng he was entirely within his rights, his accusers in error. Johnson was stricken with cholera in 1873 and lived only two years after. Elected to Congress again in 1874, he made only one speech in the Senate— a bitter attack on his enemies. During his illness he wrote the following which was found among his papers after his death. Ali seems gloom and despair. I have performed my duty to my God, my country and my farn¬ ih. I have nothing to fear. Ap- proaching death to me is‘ the mere shadow of God’s protect- ing wing. Beneath it I feel al- most sacred. Here I know no evi-1 can come; there I will rest in quiet and peace beyond the reach of calumny’s poisoned shaft, the influence of envy and jealous enemies, where treason and traitors in state, blackslid- ers and hypocrites in church can have no plače; where the grčat fact will be realized that God is truth and gratitude is the high- est attribute of man. “Does Commimism Threaten Us?” Prize Winner at Willson Junior m. en i.

No sane man is sitting up nights worrying about the com- munists, or “reds”, getting con- trol of the United States, but it must be admitted that they are now making a bigger splurge, attracting more atten- tion and becoming a greater nui- sance than ever before in this country. In other words, here is something new and interest- ing—if not disquieting. Communism springs up in times of trouble. Communists kave been watching for years for a chance to “clemonstrate” in the United States, and they seized on the present slowing- down of business and the pre- valence of unemployment as their chance. They thought the unemployed would join their ranks. Instead, they have drawn their recruits !argely from ad- venturous youth. Their meth- ods of provoking clashes with the police in order to. get publi- city appealed to certain boys and girls stili in their teens. Though Attorney General Mitchell stated that the Depart¬ ment of Justice had untertaken no investigation of a Ted scare,’ they knew nothing about a mil- iion-dollar fund sent to the com¬ munists here from Russia the Department of Labor gathered not only statistics but much printed propaganda of the com- munist agitators. It was found that this activity is greatest in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, among laborers in the large industries. Gen. Fries, former chief. of the Chemical Section of the War Department, stated he had found a communist campaign di- rected at the public school stu- dents of 53 cities. Knowing their principles unsound, he ex- plained, their arguments are di- rected at immature minds. With immoral and irreligious propa¬ ganda they are pursuing a de- moralization campaign in the schools, promising students a “new social freedom.” They es- pecially oppose ali expressions of nationalism or patriotism— such as high school cadets and boy scouts. What do our communists ad- vocate ? Of course, they have an im- mediate and an ultimate goal. It was particularly noticed by the Department of Labor that they had not resorted to sabo- tage in the Eastern industrial centers, though they are sup- posed to seek and overthrow of ali established authority and the abolition of private property. For the present they are de- manding abolition of evietion of unemployed for the non-pay- ment of rent; government in¬ surance against unemployment; equality of colored and white workers; free employment agen- femperatures at Poles GRIN!

Germany was second with 3,500,00 unemployed Great Britain 2,000,000 and Ja pan 1,000,000. The administration has ad¬ mitted 3,000,000 unemployed in this country, but sees means for employment of practically a' within two or three mqnths. Sec retary of Commerce Lamont holds out prospects' of prompt and decisive action on a $7,000,- 000,000 nation wide construc- tion program. In Congress the Senate commerce committee began holding hearings on the unemployment situation with the object of finding Just what remedial legislation would best apply. Senator Brookhart has a resolution to give $50,000,000 to the Red Cross to be distri buted to those in need, but this suggestion found little support It is generally believed that the unemployment problem wil soon be solved, and with it the “red threat.” BIG PICIG saj h isti «|w j |g »Ji Sp a|ia w|a iafŠ «|M M šjš ®|h ijsi of the 'CLUB OF SOCIETIES OF THE SLOV.

Most people in our latitudes are so accu&tomed to associating cold with the north and warmth with the south that it is hard for them to realize that similar climatic conditions prev-ail at joth of the poles of the earth. There is reason for supposing, from the fragmentary data av- ailable, that both the average and extreme temperatures reached at the south pole are lower than those reached at the north pole. Other things being equal, temperature falls with altitude, and the South pole is on an ele- vated plateau while the north pole is at seas level in the Arc- tic Ocean. Peary reported temperatures ranging from 11 to 30 degrees jelow zero at the north pole. Amundsen reported 18 below zero at the south pole, and Ad¬ miral Byrd’s thermometer reg- istered about 15 below when he fl§w over that point. Ali of these temperatures were taken in the summer time. Tempera¬ tures of 73 and 77 degrees be- low zero have been recorded in the antaretic ice barrier during the winter, but no figures are available for the high plateau around. the South Pole for that season. In May, 1903, a tem¬ perature of 67 below was regis- tered on board the Discovery in “Hello, where have you been? “To the station to see my vvife off for a montlVs visit with her mother.” “But your hands are ali black!” “I know _ I patted the en- gine.” t Pastor _ e’ll now take up de reg’lar collection. ^ Brudder Remus — Ah tho’t salivation am free.

Peggio was a piano tuner and his friend La Scala asked him how he could teli his twin boys apart. “I just pinch them,” replied R. Peggio. “Good h-eavens, what good does that do?” asked La Scala. “Archie yells on high C and Percy a half tone lower,” R. Peggio explained. $ Jim was having trouble with his arithmetic. So when !his sister’s beau showed up that night to take her out she asked him if he would mind going up to Jimmie’s room and helping him while she got ready. Young Kissel was pretty good at arith¬ metic and he knew he could help Jimmie if that rascal would only pay attention. He asked Jim- Jimmie _ Ra, talk? Pa — Something a , never gives his wif e .

The lovvest temperature experienced in the arctic by Sir George Nares-was 74, while that encountered by George De Long was 72, and that by General Greely 62. "'3 It is a common mistake to sup- pose that it gets colder at the north pole than at any other spot in the world. The temper¬ ature drops lower in parts of Siberia, Tierra. del Fuego and other regions. On February 5 and 7, 1892, a temperature of 90.4 degrees below zero was re¬ corded at Verhoyansk, Siberia. Although there is some doubt as to whether the Instruments were properly exposed, the U. S. IVeather Bureau says that figure is generally accepted as the lowest temperature ever recorded under natura! condi¬ tions. Undoubtedly the tem¬ perature frequently drops to more than 80 degrees below zero in parts of Serbia. The lovvest temperature ever authentieallv recorded in the United States proper was 65 degrees below zero, which oc- curred at Ft. Keough, near Miles City, Mont., in January, 1888. It is not probable that it ever gets colder than that at the north pole, although the aver¬ age temperature at that point is much lower than at any plače in the United States. then he proceeded to give the boy a simple lesson in addition. “Suppose, Jimmie,” he* said, “that I gave you 50 cents now, a quarter tomorrow and another quarter the next—” “Aw, that’s ali right with me, Mr. Kissel,” spoke up Jimmie. ‘Til take the money and keep quiet, but what do you think of those problems; some stickers, ain’t they?” Meyers —Are the fish biting? Fali — I don’t know. If they are, they’re biting one another. rit Crankshaft — There tis one man -in this town who insists on darting out in front of, rhy car, then glaring at me when he gets onto the sidewalk. , Gearshift — And lookš injur- ed, I suppose?
