In his tour of the Slovene school thru the Art Museum last spring he gaVe his informal talk on art as vvell as the talks that he gave during the art exhibition vvhich h e held at the Slovene National Home last March. This hovv- ever, vvill be the first time in vvhich he vvill appear on the lec¬ ture platform to give a talk on Slovene art as such. The an¬ nouncement says that the lec¬ ture vvill be in Slovene and as such it vvill be of particular ap- plication to the Slovenes vvho are invited especially to attend the lecture. To Be In Slovene Mr. Božidar Jakac’s appear¬ ance at the St. Clair Library (Continued on Toge 2.) With the return of Mr. John Sušnik as drill instructor at 0- rels, new hope and ambition have been installed into their ranks and each and every mem- ber from the youngest to the oldest is exerting himself to the utmost to make the next exhi- bition, vvhich vvill be held soon, the best and greatest yet pro- duced in this locality. Ali the members that have been lax in attending classes have now re- turned and are displaying a new špirit. Ali the captains are certain that this špirit vvill make the coming exhibition a huge success. The various class¬ es are under the direction of: the Messers Pozelnik, Sterk, Brancelj, Svete, and Frank and the Misses Lusin, Misny, Zivo- der, Zakrajšek, and Mimas. vvith Mr. Sušnik acting as their calisthinic teacher. The captains are offering their best efforts in furthering and bettering their classes. Work for the coming exihi- bition began about a month ago, at vvhich time nevv drills vvere given to the captains, and at the present time the vvork is vvell under way. Orel plans to have close to 300 members to put on the stage vvhen the ekhifoitio.j opens. One of the main features vvill bring the juniors doing in- tricate feats on the parrallell bars. It is rumored, likevviae, that the Orel girls under the di¬ rection and guidance of Mr. Jo¬ seph Sterk vvill present a sur¬ prise for the audience.

Those so honored vvere ali se- niors, the Messrs. Ralph Martin, Edvvard Surtz and John Seli¬ škar. Mr. Martin has particu- larly distinguished himself in pubic speaking, vvhile Mr. Surtz is a star of the dramatic club. PLAY MEETING When the state examinations for Embalmers vvere held in Columbus on January 12 and 13 found among the numbers vvho vvere taking the test. Mr. Louis Žele son of Joseph Žele local undertaker vvas the only Slovene candidate. Since that time Louis Žele has received vvord that he has been succes- ful and that he may practing the Science of Embalming. Mr. Louis Žele is a graduate of East High school having re¬ ceived his papers in 1927. Al ter an apprenticeship vvith his father he vvent to Chicago to take up the formal course in the vvork. When he vvas finished vvith the course he vvaited for nine months before an opportun- ity presented itself to take the examinations in Columbus. The examinations vvere held under the supervision of the State Board of Embalming Examiners of Ohio at the Niel House and the Hamilton Hall in Columbus. Thursday evening, January 29 vvill be the date vvhich the lodges of the Inter Frat basket- ball loop have chosen to frolic at a dance vvhich wi’l be held at the Slovene National Home on St. Clair Avenue. The dance is one of the out- standing social events of the In¬ ter Frat organization and is pos- sibly the only time in vvhich the girls vvho do the bulk of the entertainment for the basket- ball fans in the neighborhood vvill have an opportunity of meeting the people vvho come to see them at the St. Clair Bath House vvhen the games are in progress. Seeing a person as 1 one of the large crovvd that at- tends the games regularly is one thing and to meet him in civil- ian clothes and hear him and see him as a human is another. This is the only occasion on vvhich the players and the on- lookers vvill have a chance to rub elbovvs and if the number of tunes permits to dance vvith some of the players. The mušic for the occasion vvill be furnished by the Arca- dian Melody Pilots. The Inter Frat Basketball league is a loop made up of the girls of the various fraternal or- ganizations and during the pasv tvvo years have keyed a keen in- terest in the sports in the neighborhood. Last Spring the Sokols have been made cham- pions by their p!aying vvith a close second by the K.S.K.J. Flashes. This year vvith the in¬ troduction of several nevv teams and revamping the lineups the situation is much more interest- ing and much compatition is be- ing displayed by every person in the lineup. When one comes to the dance at the Slovene Nation¬ al floor he may be dancing vvith the future champions because as yet the vvhole dccisions are to be decided as yet. If anyone listened to WJAY radio station at 9:30 and has heard an accordian vvith that particular touch vvhich vvas fam- iliar yet could not be placed, then he must have been listen- ing to one of the latest additions to the broadcasting staff in the person of our Slovene accordion- ist, Johnny Gribbons. Johnny Gribbons has been made a part of the regular staff about three vveeks ago and is novv connected vvith the team of Jimmy and Johnny broadcast¬ ing daily at 9:30 A. M. He is the Johnny part of the team vvhih Jimmy is the crooner vvho has been connected vvith Freddy Car- lone and his Crystal Slipper Or¬ chestra and has been acclaimed one of the popular crooners in Cleveland. Besides their ovvn broadcasts Johnny Gribbons is v part of the člriff Morris and his Gang broadcasting from 12:15 to 1:15 P. M. The team of Jimmy and John- ny have been receiving many compliments at the station a na thru the city papers. The Cle¬ veland Plain Dealer and The Cleveland Nevvs has been carry, ing comments about their vvork. Johnny and Jimmy are ready to ansvver any request 5 number, nevv or old for anyone vvho vvill send it in. Every Slovene lis- tener is invited to send in his request to one of the most pop¬ ular Slovene accordionists and have his request played if tht time permits. “Wedding in Valenia” Čast of 60 PIayers Slated to Perform in Most Important Dramatic Vehicle of Season WIT, PATHOS, PASSION, PLAY IMPORTANT PART Brief Summary of the Plot With Many Complications Given BLUE AND WHITE DANCE IN NEWBURG Graspr Club Girls Active in Learning and Fun in First Dance There vvill be a meeting in the Slov.

CLAIR LIBRARY Numbers In Program to Show A11 the Distinctive Features of Croatian Cultural Life What promises to be the treat of the season in dramaties vvill be staged at the Slovene Nat’1 Home on St. Clair Ave., next Sunday afternoon and evening ay the Dramatic Society Ivan Cankar. The presentation of “Valenska svatba” vvill be given at that time.

Bradač and E. Bradač. Each is a name that is connected vvith the success of one or the other of the plays vvhich the Ivan Cankar players have staged in the past. With names like these it is almost :ertain that the play vvill be an inqualified success. Names con¬ nected vvith the čast and in the Valenska Svatba vvith ali of its .urprises and tense moments and he dramatic finish should bc mough to make the event a no- able one. Gypsy Life Valenska Svatba is a story of Jypsy life as it comes in con- L act vvith other people. In fact Valenska Svatba comes from L he vvedding scene of Gypsy Sanda. The name Valenska is an adoption of the name given gypsies in Roumania. The plot af the story is briefly this; Jo- ael a young man in the locality af a cemetary vvatches a group of gypsy children as they piay there. Not liking the manner (Continued on Page 2.)

But such a proof as really thin and vvill not stand pressure of demonstration. A much more ample and satisfying axiom or saying from the classical writers may be quoted; Facere non dicere, which in the broadest sense means, Actions rather than words bespeak the man. It is something vvhich by long demonstration has assumed the character of having been found to hold true. Trials and more results must be the end of the activity in which the Slovene youth is now engaged. While there is not much evident demonstration or rather glaring demonstration about the things that Slovene pioneers have created in America the interest is present, nevertheless. That the present activity is not more noticeable among the youth is because the complexity of regular work-a-day world will not give it a chance for extraordinary prominence. Activity is preselit, and very prominently if anyone is willing to look for it. One could list a great number cf things which would serve as good demonstration that Slovene Youth is interested in Slovene affairs and is lending its fresh viewpoint to make the problem and the situation clearer and brighter. It vvill be sufficient that only one be mentioned here. During the last fevv years a nev/ and lasting lease has been taken on the life of fraternal organizations, which have been doomed to die when the older generation has gone to its grave. English speaking lodges (vvhich. in reality are lodges conducteu in English) have been organized in practically every large organi- zation and are doing marvellously well -in putting new vigor into the old organizations. The idea is comparatively new. The oldest English conducted lodge is not even five years old and from the beginning to now the idea has spread among the young people and has been carried on principly by the force of their initiative with some encouragement from the older heads of the fraternal organizations. The youth has sold the proposition to itself and has carried it on until nov/ if ali of the members of the various fraternal organizations were collected into one institution they vvould make* a rather large force by themselves. It is action that speaks well for the Slovene ycuth and once it has seen the op- portunities than it has seized them and made a “doubtful” ex- periment an unqualified success. Members of the various lodges within one parent institution are holding competitions among themselves in membership drives competing for honors in that line. Friendly but rivalry institut- ions have taken plače among the lodges of the various parent institutions in sports and even in dramatics and social gath- erings which keep alive the traditions which have been set. Com- petition is the soul of vigor and a self measure. What healthier sign of real life and real activity could be asked for those which when the surface is scratcned become plainty evident. Actions speak louder than vvords and the actions of the Slov¬ ene youth in fraternal work alone not taking into consideration the many other things they are considering and actually doing speaks vvell for the future of the Slovenes in America. Novv that everyone, except 120 million people, believes that prohibition, as an amendment, is a total success, and ali the bard hooch on this side of the Atlantic has been drained (not down sewers, but down throats) > the high-minded and revered re- formers are seeking new fields to conquer. For a long time they have been so occupied supplant- ing the old fashioned, free lunch saloon with clean deeent speak- easies and dives, and seeing to it that tank,s pa id a quarter of a dollar for a five cent throat vvarmer, that thsy diet not heea other jeopardies that began erouching upon this nation. But, today, with their toil- sorne thankful vvork completed, they vvill be able to turn their attention to the other voices of the U. S. A . (of North America, VVestern Hemisphere, pink color- ed on geography maps.) There are m?.ny things that require correction and rectification, buč after due deliberation, in joint counsel, the W. C. T. U. (a union of charitv vvomen) decided that the greatest weakness is-tcoffee. Do not be surjjrised. Our am- ourous and vveli-thinking breth- ern have determinecl that Java was injurious to our health and welfare. And so be it. With fine and deep cogitation you will also see many things in coffee that are strictly baneful. Just ask any housewive what is wrong with coffee. She will teli you immediately. Did you e ver conšider that coffee spij on a table cloth leaves an unre- movable spot (Carbon Tetra- chloride vville not help). 'in problem of soiled table cloths and napkins is becoming more terrible, graver and more men- acing each succeeding day. Hoover eleeted on a platform which promised to bring relief to this, failed. What has hap- pened! Even his platform has become so soiled that some fool dandiprats have inquired for the iob of cleaning it. If coffee could be done away vvith there vvould be only c'ean linen on the t-ables. This alone suggests such a good reason for eliminat- ing coffee from the meni?., that people will at once acquiesce for it, j ust like they did for abolish- ing the white mule (kegs and ali). Do you know that coffee is the cause of almost ali inequity? ! Most crimes are pulled off be- | tween midnight anfi dawn; and, by vvhom? gentle, sweet and kind readers. By people vvho drink coffee before winding the cat, putting out the clock, and going to bed. Then, they can¬ not sleep. These sufferers of insomnia, then, go out and pil- fer their abstinent neighbor s goods. Why the policemen who vvatch these homes at night U- not stay awak by drinking cof¬ fee, likevvise will remain a inys- tery because Mr. Matovvitz, our honest and beloved chief of po lice, has promised to solve it. Insomnia too, is the cause of added unemployment. When one drinks coffee he stays awake and actually dees some work, thus causing overproduction “Exile coffee and you will have pleniv of work” cry the reform- ers. IVAN CANKAR PLAY (Continued from Page 1) ART LECTURE BY JAKAC (Continued from Page 1) comes with especial welcome to in which they do this he steps into the cemetary and with a vvhip that he carries lashes one of the children. Sande a young gypsy sees this and picks up a j stone and throvvs it at the young man gashing his forehead. San¬ da \vas sorry that she, had com- mitted so serious an injury and was worried. In that state of mind she crept to the room of the young aristocrat and whnt seeming-ly asleep kissed him. From that time on Jonel did not s ec Sanda until he returned as :i man from the Universlty in Germany. Another cliqr,e which are en emies of coffee are the cellar- smellers. They have done much for reformation, in fact, they have reformed themselves out of work. People have taken up the Volstead Act so enthusiastical- ly and obeyed it so franklv that the government needed no one to smeli bottles. So to create a j ob for themselves they now seek to nut their hooks into cof¬ fee percolators (that is, they vvill go on their own hooks.) Another reason that has maeto Congress determined to pass the coffee bili, is the contest being staged presentlv between the nations vvhich v/ill decide vvhich country has the greatest num¬ ber of useless and unkept laws. Thus far/America is leading thi race by some odd two million, but one such law will not hurt the congressmen. However, do not think that Lhis battle on coffee wiT be won vvithout opposition. There is a strong and large army prepar- ing to come to the aid of coffee. However, these are only doing from a selfish standpoint. Cof¬ fee has brought them much, and they do not want to lose this considerable income. The un- selfish reformei 3 teli us that these are the doctors, burial čase manufaeturers, and the under- takers. It is a known fact that coffee brings about failing health and an early death. It is this reason that has caTed thesn respective individuals to the aid of coffee, b.ut if we ali do our bit tovvards the good work, it will not be long before coffee vvill be as scarce in this country as gin. An A g e d Lover After an interim of several years in which the promising beauty of Sanda really develops so much that Notara a 50 year old attorney decides that he n ust win her hand. This thought vas espeeialV prominent in his mind after Sanda went away to school. Wit,h education and beauty Notara was perf- 2 ctly satisfied to take her for his w|fe uid be proud of his prize. But ife is not so easy. Notara had a omp.etitor for her hand in Cuk h e state attornev who unfor- l;unately vvas a hunchback but in spite of this Sanda did not decline his suit. Dream Lover those who have been wondering about the history of the Art vvhich is represented by Mr. B. Jakac’s work. As an expert in the art and with his educatiomal background aside from his ar- tistic work vvill make the lecture one of the outstanding events in the community in lecture work, During his studies Mr. Bozidai Jakac has traveled thru ali the countries of Europe and has even \vorked in North Afriea.

T. SUIUBOLNIK Realistic novelists With the Champion of realism in fiction in the person of Josip Jurčič Slovene novels and Slovene narrative vvork learned more and more tovvard realism. The object of the realistic school in Slovenija vvas to hold a mirror to the hard and real struggle for exist- ance vvhich the Slovene vvas forced to live. After,the example set by the models created by Jurčič t-hey vvish- ed to imitate it and perfect it. While Jurčič vvrote mostly and most characteristically of the Slovene peasant he vvas not successful in depieting the life of the tovvnspeople nor of the educated. This later type of vvriting vvas the specialty of Kersnik, Mencinger and Detela. They shovved vvhat Jurčič did not in the life of Slovene' outside of the peasant class, never¬ theless, his influence is seen in their v/ork. Formally they were also educated in the StritaFs school. coid vvhich developed into consumption of the throat vvhich he did not give serious attention. As a result he died on July 28 1897 while he vvas on his way to his Ljubljana home from Gleichenburg. Fran Levec may be given the credit for influenc- ing the young Kersnik to take interest in Slovene li¬ terature. Levec found Kersnik vvriting German poetry and savv the talent. He advised the,young author to devote himself to Slovene rather than German vvhich the pupil did. In 1866 his first poem appeared in the “Glasnik”. This vvas follovved by a rather long series vvhich vvere published in The “Glasnik” and in the “Zvon” in Vipnna. The most important person of the school of Jo¬ sip Jurčič vvas Janko Kersnik. He vvas born on Sep¬ tember 4, 1852 at Brd. His father was legal attorney and his motlier Bertha came from the famous famiiy oj Hoffner. In 1362 he entered the gymnasirm at Ljubljana vvhich he completed in 1870. He was then enrolled in the law school of Vienna but Ieft to at¬ tend the course given in the college at Gradec. In 1877 he finished his courses and actually practiced lav. In 1880 he passed the examinations as Notary Public for a position in Brd vvhere his mother vvas a large land- ovvner. In 1895 while hunting Kersnik caught a severe After Kersnik completed his University studies he devoted himself almost exclusively to prose. At first he vvrote letters and then some political papers through the medium of vvhich he became interested in the novel. His first novel “Na Zerinjah” (At Zerin- ja) Jurcic’s influence is plainly evident. But the in¬ fluence is not so great in the realistic depieting of peasant character as it vvas evident in the develop- ment of the love theme. Artists, journalists, nobility play their roles as in the older novels even in the “Lu- terski ljudje” vvhich vvas published in 1882. As the Notary Public in Brd, Kersnik became more and more acquainted vvith the Slovene peasant as he really vvas as vvell as the more educated upper class. He vvas a ciose observer of ali that vvent aro.und him and soon discovered that the Slovene had many good cjualities as vvell as many bad. As a result of the ciose contact and observation there is evident a change in vievvpoint and as the novels and the man himself vvas impossible for Jurčič vvas entirely for Kersnik be- longed to the circle about vvhich he vvrote as surely as Jurčič belonged to his ovvn. Kersnik vvas born in a n aristocratic family in vvhich his grandfather vvas the teacher at the University of Ljubljana and Preseren’s ovvn instruetor. He himself belonged to a family vvhich vvas considered as one of the old families vvith a tra- dition and then the constant contact vvith merchants and tovvnspeople made him as a novelist a teller of tales about the circle vvhich he knew best. While Jur¬ čič had a nodding acquaintance vvith the upper people Kersnik vvas on talking terms vvhich expiains vvhy Jurčič did not dare to wri>e things about people he knevv only slightly. in the follovving year Kersnik began a series oi r 1 istic tales under the title “Kmetske slike”. In the M nmg he vvrote simple tales as he savv them in the c4 ^ tl ^ s v ^5 developed there is soon an evidence that realistic lifo vvith vvhich he vvas surrounded became more and more a part of him. Even in his first novel it is seen that the circle vvith vvhich Kersnik is coneerned is the educated class in a more easy fashion than Jurčič did. The state oi rpind vvas altogether different from Jurčič and vvhat If In the Novel “Ciklamen”, Published in 1883 and again in “Agitator” he gives us a real picture of the dvveller of the castle and his contacts vvith the com- monplace people. The central theme is vvoven around the noble in his home life, in the hotel, in the library and uncovers his mental life by having him express his opinions of the national and political feeling as the real man expressed them in the time vvhen national libraries began to flourish and the Slovene plain man became avvare of his nationality and his Slav nature. In the novel “Roslin in Vrjanko” modeled very closely after “Lepa. Vida” the motive for the national poem, Kersnik pictures contemporary edu¬ cated people among the peasant class. In the same manner is vvritten “Gospod Janez” (Mr. John), now running serially in the Enakopravnost. Ed. note). Very different is “Jara gospoda” in vvhich Kersnik vvrites, in the manner of Turgenifv, the sick condition of the upper class because of its indolence and disinterested- ness in the .real problem vvhich the ordinary men met. v.Vhen Kersnik promised Jprcic that he vvould complete the “Rokovnjači” vvhich Jurčič had no op- pcrtunity of finishing he faced for the first time the problem of vvriting scenes and outlining types from the realni cf peasantry. This influence vvas so strong that » n s« > ,i i"*"' 'S munity in vvhich he lived. In some of them, be found that he experienced them at the t ilTie J { he became a public official.

It is not very often that the boys from down-East are taken over for two games much less three. And it wasn’t that the scrappy Bcosters didn’t do some neat rolling Sunday that they lost, for they crashed games of 910, 926, and 917 against 923,926. 933.

Snag Tekavec really was a great help in each of the games. His scores were 221, 199, 200. Tony Laurich with 603 held up the Boosters. M. Krall was next pummeling 581. This victory gives the S. Y. M.

Steve Wysopal was the big glin for the vietors. He got off to a slow start, picking off 177 in the opener. Steve then fol- lov/ed this with 196 and climax- ed with a sparkling 247 shindig giving him a 620 total. Peter¬ lin also starred garnering games of 221, 182, 188. Tony Kuehl did his part for the instrument five by collecting 592. This in- ciuded a neat score of 239. Hold ’Em Washingtons The Geo.

In doing so they rolled some surprising high scores.' The gymnasU crashed 896 in the second chap- ter and concluded the series by distributing the pegs for a 991 count being the highest mark the Orelites attained this sea¬ son. Incidentally it was also the highest team game of the day. Lusin and Rev. Andrey twinkled for the vietors, each having- amassed scores of 575 and 557 respectively. Mesnarsic led the Utopian keglers. Cleveland Clips Comrades Tony Milavec was the tower of strength for Cleveland in its two ply victory over the Com¬ rades. He thumped the mapies for counts of 201, 163, and cul- minated his series with a grand 248. Captain Frank Fifolt had the best series for the S. N. P. •J. five garnering 552.

The Progressives can easily be called a sisters team as there are Mary, Anna and Betty Le¬ bar comprising half of the team. And what spunk! Ahvays bat- tling, whether ahead or behind. Zelle, vvho led the second half rally, scored five times from the field and once from the foul line. The sisters each contributed to the tallying. Very little scoring was dene in the first quarter. Goals by Benes and Yana, gave the Spar¬ tans a 4 - O lead. In the second quarter, Yana ^cored three con- secutive goals. Benes, snatch ing the bali from a fierce tussle under the basket, scored on a pretty overhand throw. Not un- 'iil there was but a minute oi play left in the second period, ing the Flashes to one basket and one foul, the St. Anns scored sixteen points in the first half. The Flashes sure had an off night missing repeatedly. “Jo” Laurich scoring ace /vvas held to one charity throw. ‘Curly” Su¬ hadolnik, led the offense, net- ting four double deckers for 8 points. “Whitey” Doljack with six points kept in pace with Curly. Pate, Kogoy and Shenk, twinkled, each garnering av least one bucket. Rode with six points and Mashek with two, did well for the Flashes. “Jo ’ Laurich and Steiss were always snaring passes to present a fine defense. 5T. ANN’S Shenk, L. F. Kogoy, R. F. Dolyaek, C.

Our Great Gutenberg Bible The Libr,ary of Congress novv ovvns a Gutenberg Bible. That is a fact that brings a surge of pride to the heart of every American vvho respects the Book of Books, or reads any books at ali. Heretofore the average American had no chanee of even "getting a glimpse of a Guten- burg Bible. Only those vvho went to Europe and succeeded in getting into the very sanctu.Vi sanetorum of the most famous puhlic or private book collections could boast of seeing this rarest of books. Novv vve have one ot our ovvn—the best of the lot. Everybody has heard of the Gutenberg Bible. It is mention¬ ed—or should be—in ali histor- ies of Europe, of the art of print ing and in ali histories of litera¬ ture. Ali are familiar vvith pic- tures of old Johann Gutenberg, credited vvith inventing movabl/? type, laboriously vvorking at the cumbersome ihand press—tha first. And he did some vvonder¬ ful vvork, too, some 40 years be- fore Columbus sailed for Amer¬ ica. Ali Gutenberg Bibles are rare and costly, but they , are not alike. Today there exist 4i copies printed on paper, seven of vvhich have been acquired by Americans—the latest priče be¬ ing $123,000. But there are j ust three complete copies print¬ ed on vellum. One of these is m the Bibliotheque Nationale ai Pariš j another is in the British Museum, and the third belongs nov/ to the Congressional Li- did preservation. It vv-as sold by Gutenberg’s notorious partner, Johann Faust, to the Benedie fine monks at Pariš for $25, and it has been jealously guarded by them ever since. This book took five years to print; It is in Latin, of course and each page has. tvvo columna of 42 lines each, vvith spaces left for illuminated initials. It has been called the “choicest book of Christendom.” The hun- dreds of thousands of visitors at th e capital vvill hereafter floct to view it. This Bible constitutes the most' valuable unit in the Voll¬ behr collection of incunabula — cradle books—so called because printed in the 15 century, the century in vvhich printing vvas in vented) for vvhich Congress ap- propriated $1,500,000. It was an unexpected, an unusual chance never likely to be repeated, for our national library to get one of three ( and the best of the 3) perfect Gutenberg Bibles on vel¬ lum, and it vvas accepted by Con- gress. The Bible alone has been appraised at $1,000,000 and the vvhole collection has been estimated to be vvorth from $3,- 000,000 to $5,000,000. The larg- est share of.credit for getting Congress to buy this splendid collection—an act vvhich ali the nevvspapers, learned bodies and scholars acclaim—helongs to R. A. Collins of Mississippi vvho in- troduced the bili in the House and labored for it valiantly. But vvhile the Gutenberg mas- terpiece vyill be the main attrac- tion it vvill not be the vvhole shovv. Among the other 3,000 incunabula, Dr. Vollbehr promised to ha the abbott of the monast« bring the Bible personally Washington and dignify thej livery by. solemnly transferi the vvonderful bobk vvhile dri ed in the medieval monai robes of his order. It wo thus be, in reality, the seči transfer of the book—fi Faust to the Benedictines from the latter to the Con sional Librarv. Vollbehr neW took possession of it— in fact v/as reported' that he merelyl an option on it. It vvas also oprted that complaint vvas raii in Austria over the book leavi the country, but it vvas brouj there from Pariš to conceal from Napoleon’s troops, so Ai tria had no original claim on \ or books publislred brary.

There are 20 books con- cerning the discovery of Artier- ica—ali vvritten vvhile Columbus vvas stili living and ,exploring. The question has arisen as why Dr. Vollbehr vvas vvilling seli to the United States tl great collection at half its vali The exp!anation given vvas tli j he meant ali along to prest the collection to the German go ernment, but that since it can to constitute practically H vvhole fortune and he had a fai ily to consider he felt constraij ed to seli it..
