The older people dre quick to recognize that sports are the great attraction for the young and will be able best to decide for themselves vvhat is needed most and what is most necessary to develop that branch of the activities of the American Slovenes. Though there are de- grees in the interest displayed there can be no doubt that the South Slavonic Catholic Union is conscious of the youth in its roster and they are doing evei’y thing to help them along. Three States to Send Representatives The latest interest displayed by the Supreme board of the Union is the Athletic Confer¬ ence which will be held at the Slovene National Home on St. Clair Avenue on Sept 12 and 13. The States of Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania with the possibil- ity of delegates from Minneso¬ ta lodges will be on hand vvhen the conference opens for aetual discussion. The Athletic Con¬ ference is a result of the rec- ommendation of Mr. Louis Ko¬ lar the Sports Commissioner of will be very much interested in Board of the Union when it met at Ely, Minn., last July. While the names of ali the delegates is not known at pres- ent it is certain that ali lodges having athletic teams will be represented. From Cleveland and vicinity four delegates will attend the two day conference. They are: Joseph Jaklich, Jr., President of the George Wash- ington Lodge; P. J. Mihelič, Collimvood Boosters; Al Uhle, Napredeks; and J- L. Zortz of Lorain, Ohio. Mr. Zbasnik Supreme Presi¬ dent of the organization will be present and though not actively will be very much interest in the decisions of the Athletic Board. Will Attempt to Arrange De- tails for 1931. The business of the confer¬ ence will occupy itself with the athletics and ways and the means of improving it with mu- tual understanding of ali the lodges and an attempt will be made to promote and establish greater inter-relation among the lodges. In particular there will be an attempt made to draw up inter - lodge activities and arrange schedules for the Corn¬ ing year 1931. Leagues and loops in the various sports and various sections will also be a part of the work planned. Prizes appropriate for the section and national S. S. C. U. champion- ships will be awarded. To make a fitting climax the George Washington lodge will have a Sports Dance at which the members will present many novelties. For the second time in as many years the Croatians have carried off first prize in the In¬ ternational Flower Festival which was held in connection with the Air Carnivals in the City. The Croatian float bedecked with flowers was sponsored by the singing society “Lira” and it was for the second time that they have carried off the honors in the Nationality division of the Flower Festival. The float vvas decorated vvith ali kinds of flowers very artis- tically vvorked out by the local florist Slapnik and was one of some twenty floats which par- took in the nationality division of the Flower Festival. Attrac- tive as the float was there vvas no doubt that the oecupants of the float Miss Rose Kroato the Croatian Personality girls had something to do vvith it. As an award the Croatian so- ciety which sponsored the float was presented a loving cup that teliš the story. It was the second time that the Croatian group has been aivarded the first prize in the nationality division of the page- ant. The first was won last year in the Floral Pageant in connection \vith the Advance of Transportation parade that was held as the formal opening to the National Air Races that were held in Cleveland last year. This year’s Flower Festi¬ val was held as the opening of the Gordon Bennett Balloon races which started from the Cleveland Airport last Monday and the Air Carnival which vvas held on Sunday August 31 and Monday September Ist. SNPJ RETURN TO CLEVE¬ LAND WITHOUT CHAM- PIONSHIP Despite the hi-glh špirit and the high hopes with which the Cleveland delegation left for Chicago on Migration Day last Saturday. But the spirits were somewhat dampened on the re- turn trip because the Loyalites the Cleveland national cham- pionship hopes did not- succeed in the downing of the Western Champs, the Stalwarts of Ken- osha. In spite of the defeat the Clevelanders refused to be dis- heartened fby the defeat and that did not prevent them from having the two days filled with ali the attraetions and the fun that the Chicago and Waukee- gan SNPJ lodges provided for the Migrators from the various parts of the country. E THIRD PLAČE IN DETROIT ALL-SLAV SOKOL MEET Henry Spehek Gets Third Plače in the Individual Honor With 104.25 Points SEVEN GROUPS IN MEET Slovene Sokols Show Good Form in the A11 - Slav Contest and Annex Two Honors To Detroit they went and there they showed the Sokol bodies that they are a power to be recognized with when there is a Sokol exhibition held. The members of the Slovene Sokol have been vietorious in their conquest at the Sokol exhibition in Detroit which was held under the auspices of the Bohemian Zupa (unit) in Detroit. Though they have not gotten the first plače in the Sokol honors they have succeeded in placing third and in having one of their mem¬ bers acclaimed as the third best Sokol in the United States So¬ kol bodies. Though the Sokol meet in De¬ troit was only for the Slav bod¬ ies to which the Slovene Sokol was inyited the Slovenes have run closelv behind the other participants each of the Sokols suceeeding in ranking high in the total number of points that each could get.

In the first participation of that kind of competition and not “knowing the ropes” the Slovene Sokol of Cleveland has done exceptionally well to have been placed in third plače \vhen there is exceptional merit or where any award is given. As a result of the ali around ath- eletic events the Laurel Wreath, third plače award was given to the Slovene Sokol as a group with the added distinction of Henry Spehek was awarded the honor of being the best athlete of the Cleveland Sokol. One of the judges was a member! of the Cleveland Slo¬ vene Sokol Mr. Zivkovic. In the September number of the National Geographic Maga¬ zine there appears two very in- teresting articles on Jugoslqvia accompanied by many illustra- tions many of them in colors. After the style of ali the ar¬ ticles in the National Geograph¬ ic their articles are very inter- estingly written hy men who are not connected with the Jugo- slavs and as such the things they say about the land and the country is doubly interesting. One of the two articles written by Melville Cater a special con- tributor to the National Geo¬ graphic magazine and titled with “Jugoslavia Ten Years After” which deals with the life of the people and recounts some of the incidents that have taken plače since the State of Jugoslavia has been created as a result of the peace treaty following the iWorld War accompanied with some 45 illustrations showing what has been accomplished in the places that have served as battle grounds between the op- posing armies. The second article consists mostly of pictures in color illus- trating some of the lovely scenes Pictures of the people and of the manner of life and even some of the brill- iant costumes for which the Slav countries are famous. The most interesting scene is the picture of Lake Bled credited vvith being the most picturesque spot on the continent and photo- graphed from an angle seldom seen in reproductions. The pic¬ tures in the second section are mostly in colors and show clear- ly some of the creations of the people in their ordinary life. The article was written by Hans Hindenland and Wilhelm Tobien. PERSONAL The Ali - Slav Sokol meet was held at Detroit last Saturday and August 30 and 31 under the auspices of the Bohemian Zupa at which tihe Jugoslo¬ vanski Sokol of Detroit, the Slovak Sokol of Detroit, Sokol Havlicek of Cleveland, Sokol Nova Vlast of Cleveland, Sokol Tyrs of Cleveland, Sokol group from Owdeso and the Slovene Sokol of Cleveland participaterl. Among the best Sokols in the Slav division the Slovene Sokol have achieved high honors and there is little doubt that they can better their reeord in the event that they participate in the future meets. It may be of interest to see the pictures and read about the country that is much talked of today. Though Slovenia as such is not treated of to a great extent the article will prove of interest to ali the readers the National Geographic. of ANTIIONY GARBAS TO LEAVE FOR SCHOOL ON FRIDAY MORN1NG E SCHOOL PLANS FOR New Equipment, New Quarters and Complete Reorgani- , zation are the Features in Plan MR.

TRUGER NEW TEACHERS Three Semester Courses Planned to Interest Pupils in Intensive Study Lester “Slicko” Rossman is vacationing at Sheboygan where he is visiting his brother. left Friday. He At Wilmington, Miss., a deaf mute hopped around and gesti- culated trying to attrack a crowd of bathers. By the time they realized what he wanted it was too late for his compan- ion who also was a deaf-mute di’owned. Mr. Anthony Garbas former editor of the Cleveland Journal and študent of the Louisville University School of Dentistry was ready to leave for the open¬ ing of the school semestry which will open shortly. While school will not. open very di- rectly Mr. 4 Anthony Garbas will be in readiness to take the “hammar by the handle” when the school actually starts and be ali set to go instead of hav¬ ing trouble of finding quarters and be allocated during the school year. Anthony Garbas will be en- rolled in the Junior year at the School of Dentis'try at Louis- ville University. He Ihas at- tended the school last year. When the Slovene school of the National Home opens its doors to the pupils they will find some new ehanges and some innovations for the Corn¬ ing school year. The School board in its meeting last Friday was thorough in its organiza¬ tion for the coming school year and they are intent in making the school more interesting than ever before. The least import- ant in as far as learning the language itself yet which will add to the comfort of the pupils will be the acquisition of new equipment and the school rooms whic'h will be changed from the old building to the Room No. 2 in the New building of the Na¬ tional Home. While the method of instruc- tion in the Junior division will remain the same as in the past years there will be a complete reorganization of the Senior di¬ vision which in the past two years has been in the experi- mental stage and this year a very definite system will be evolved. The plan as it was worked out last Friday evening consists in having three classes in which ali the branches of the Slovene will be thoroughly cov- ered from the most elementary fundamentals to the study of lit¬ erature. Beginners to be Catered Under the new system it will be possible for the most a neo- phyte to learn ali about tihe lan¬ guage irrespective of how little one knows about it when tihe class opens on September 19th. The classes as they are planned are as follovvs, the first division in which those will be placed who know little or nothing about the language and that class will specialize in the rudiments of the language starting with the alphabet and continuing vvith reading and writing and the most elementary grammar. While the second class of the school will be composed of those who have had some grammar and who are versed well enough to learn the more intricate grammatical forms and to be able to write very well. The third division will consist of those who are well versed in the language to be able to study literature — examples of Slo¬ vene literature and some Slovene literary history. Classes Wi!l Not be Dry The narration of the subjects to be studied and the things that may he learned of the language sound very technical and very pedagog.ca! though there is no intention to have them such. With the possible exception of the alphabet in the first class ali the other branches of Slo¬ vene will be interestingly pres¬ ent through the medium of in¬ teresting selections from simple vvriting in which rules of gram¬ mar will he pointed out and the works studied for their deno- tation and connotation. Besidqs learning the grammar and ali the other niceties of the language there will be an amassment of Information while in itself will prove very interesting. While the second class will he more adyanced the method of proceedure will be similar and the same system will be follow- ed. IIow much of the language the pupils will learn is depend- ent on the amount to application that each will devote to the study. Literature Course an Innovation The third class an innovation and a provision for those who want to learh more of the lan¬ guage and who are capable of taking* tihe work will consist in the study of literature and some of forms of Slovene poetry and the highlights of Slovene liter¬ ature. Ali in ali there will be no possible excuse that the classes are not attended be¬ cause the subject matter is too far ahead of the pupils. It is not. A person not a Slovene can learn the iangua;ge under the method planned. Two New Teachers Due to various and urgent need of time Mr. Janko Rogelj submitted his resignation as an instruetor and his plače will be filled by Mr. Louis Trugar who will have -charge of the begin¬ ners class and the second class will be presided “over by Mr. Vatro Grili. In the third class the instruetor will he Mr. Ivan Zorman our Slovene poet who by virtue of his study is well qualified in the subject. The greatest innovation in the vvhole system this year will be the three month semester which will enable those who are not interested furti to withdraw from the school if they čare to with the knowledge that they have completed a full semester. While there are hopes express- ed that there will be no with- drawals from the school yet tho provision is made that with~ drawal is possible. Every three months a new semester will be¬ gin and those who intend to follow the course through vvill have a chance to continue for there vvill be no going back to the beginning and starting over. With these innovations and vvith the new equipment and the excellence of the teachers the Slovene people especially the young should take an active in¬ terest in the Slovene language.

Is there anything that he could say that could com- pare with the achievements of others? If there is nothing to see perhaps there is something that could be said of himself and his language.

With the Slovene his language is more beautiful to-!” are nothing more than “Hunkies” or “Guienies”. There fore they must be despised. It is the greatest fault of the Slovenes that they are not like some other nationalities to boast of the people of whom they can be justly proud. There is by far too much silence about the men who can be held up to the light as real representatives of the Slo¬ venes in America and in Europe. By peculiar circum- stances the Slovenes are in the limelight and at the top of practically every fine art to which there is any real irh- portance attached. Other nationalities attach so much importance to their singers, their artists and to their mu- sicians and the Slovene keeps silence when his own meek little voice would be the must eloquent in the whole array of nationalities and their achievements. Why they do not is a peculiar problem and possibly a Slovene charact- eristic which leaves a goocl work done and left to ad- vertise itself, the Slovene being satisfied to leave that which is accomplished for others to discover. As peculiar as it may seem others do not advertise his things. The natural result of it ali Is that when there is a discussion of the comparative greatness of the different nationalities (foolish as some of those discussions may be) the Slo¬ vene gapes and feels sorry that he is not one of the na- tionality that has such brilliant men wi'th which others boast as their own. We do not say that there is any im¬ portance attached to any discussion attached to the various discussions but psychologically they are for bet- ter self estimation which is a neccesary part of the hu¬ man makeup. It really makes no difference what branch of learn- ing or what branch any nationality may boast itself the Slovene can cite examples of duplicate importance and probably of superior merit.

Free for only a speli of some 5 years under Napoleon and now in spite of ali the ages of oppression they have their own University at Ljubljana \yith one of Europe’s fore- most electricians Milan Vidmar, a Slovene, as its rector. Surely there is matter to be proud of. The Slovenes in Europe have as glorious operas as any other nation and the Slovenes are as muslcally inclined as any other nation. Artists, there is one example in Cleveland today, Božidar Jakac with his first prizes ~ in the Pariš Inter¬ national Exposition. Not known but respected in Europe Is Plesnik the greatest architect in Europe, a Slovene. Talking about St. Patrick and his work just mention St, Cyril and Methodius and that will close the mup. Now in the joining of the three nationalities into one klngdom every Slovene can be justly proud of Mestrovic and his world acknov/ledged sculpture. And the Croatian Zlatko Balokovic who has been acclaimed as another Kreisler not by the Slovenes or Jugoslavs but world respected mušic critics. se And there is nothing to be proud of! Look around for yourself. In America we have ali sorts of institutions that are doing untold amount of good for people and are bles- sings that other nationalities envy when they are toki about. The National Homes, the Banking institutions, the newspapers and ali the other activities are just as great as anything any other nationalities does yet there is no word of pride for them. With the exception of the French the only other nationality that can claim a real pioneer among the work among the Indians, are the Slo¬ venes with their Baraga whose centennial was observed last month and whose achievements are a source of pride to Amerfcaps and who is more respected among the Americans than among the Slovenes. Yet the Slovene has nothinf? to be proud of!!! What an abundant source of material and stili there Rogers the author is, perhaps, not quite so outstanding; how- ever the fact remains. that he published his first book, “The Peace Conference”, in 1919. In his book Will quotes from the Peace Covenent vv-herein it is written ‘there is to be no more wars’ and later he says that on further perusing this document, one is told where to obtain arms ir. čase of an emergencv. Evi- dently he thinks that' some al- lovvance should be made for the statesmen who are privileged to change their minds. In 1924 the ‘Illiterate Digest’ his next book was published. There was only a limited num ber printed, thirty one in ali and each copy was numbered and signed by the author. Will, then added a new and unique feat- ure, hitherto unthought of by men of letters, to his book. He \vrote ja different inscription in each of the thirty one copies of his book. The following are two of the authoPs inscriptions. There can be no douht that “Ali quiet on the W V Front”, is the most gripni ^ spectacular war storv l llg a »d iblislhed.

For the next fif- teen vears Riley and Tarkington remained close friends, with this exception, the subject of Tarkington’s books vvas never brought up in their conversa- tion. When, in 1914 “Penrod” came out, Riley happened to get hold of a copy and after read- ing it, he went to Tarkington’s home and ivited him to go for a buggy ride. Suddenly, after ali these years, Riley blurted out, “You did a swell job with Penrod” he meant that as long as Tarkington wrote about a .nothing of the mental h 0r ' M ' war that very y 0U ng *Jof experiences.

The Pioneers in a New Movement The editor of the Novice was Dr. Janez Bleiweis born in 1808 at Kranj. He completed his preliminary education at the College in Ljubljana and then enter- ed the school of medicine at Vienna where he was graduated as a physician and a veterinarian and was for some time employed as a teacher at the Veterinary school. In 1841 he returned to Ljubljana as a teacher of the veterinary Science, when it was closed he be¬ come the secretary of the Farmer Society and devoted himself td veterinary matters. As a secretary he sud- denly, by virtus of his position, because the editdr of the “Kmetijske in Rokodelske Novice”« (Agricultural and Industrial News) But he himself was not capable of writing sufficient and smooth enough Slovene so he vvas aided in his work by Fr. Malavašič and L. Jeran. Bleiweis important role in connection with the or- ganization vvas not so much literary as a political in- termediary with the government and in that position he secured many advantages for Slovenes that they would not have achieved if he would not be the in- tercessor. Great as his power vvas in the political field he vvas not so successful in establishing the literary primacy for the Slovenes as he vvished. In later years vvhen a new generation of writers began to make itself felt with their progress and their new ideas in a sort of revolution against his vvish to control ali the culture he vvas left behind by the circle of Levstik’s friends and the newly established “Slovenski Glasnik”. If grades of importance were to be given to the contributors of the Novice the most important plače would be held by Jovan Vesel-Koseski. The circle of the Novice contributors rated him higher in poetic genius than they did Dr. France Prešeren although he is practically forgotten today. Koseski vvas born at Kosezah in 1798. Studied at the Gymnasium at Celje and the philosophic studies at the College in Ljubljana, and a law course in Vienna after which he was em- ployed in the financial department of the govern¬ ment. Even vvhen he died in 1884 he vvas connected with the financial department as a pensioner for having served many years at the fiscal Office in Triete. Even in his early years he vvas interested in literature and as a študent vvas the author of and compiler of poetry. From his študent years until 1844 he vvas poetically in- active. At that time he surprised the Slovene vvorld vvith the ode, “Slovenia in honor of Emperor Ferdinand the First” in which he is enthusiastic in his praises of the Emperor. Praises of the Greeks and the Roroans, of the nations who partook in the Migration of nations and of the Habsburg rulers. In each of the three di- visions of the poem is the underlying theme “Hrast se omaje in hrib, zvestoba Slovencu ne gane” (The Oak and the mountain may from its base be moved, but a Slovene from his loyalty never”, This ode vvas closely follovved by others both as translations and some or¬ iginal poems. The'most famous of these are “Vojaška” (Military) “Bravcam h koncu leta v spomin” (In honor of the readers of the Novice a greetings for the New Year 1845) “Kdo je mar” and the hymn “Our Father”. Koseski’s influence in poetical lines vvas very strongly felt by his contemporaries especially in re- gards to his strong Heksameters and pentameter rythmn, his prosody and the poems filled vvith senti- mentality and pathos vvhich left tears in the eyes of the readers of his poetry. Today his poetry is not fm- pressive because of silly sentimentality and the use of many vvords and the piling of phrases vvhich makes his poetry very heavy and hard to read. The greatest fault of ali his vvork is the seriously bad grammar which he used and his inability of denotation and the conotation of vvhich in the middle of a very pathetic thought brought his poetic sense to a ludicrous anti- climax. In originality his poems suffer very much. Even his greatest vvork the ode mentioned before is vvorked from an idea borrovved from Valentin Vodnik’s “Ilirije oživljene”. In his own day the people did not complain about his grammatical lexigraphic faults for many of them did not know enough about the grammar and sense of vvords although many did com¬ plain that he vvas very hard to read because of his phraiseology. In 1853 he become seriously sick vvith a conseq- uent poetic silence vvhich he did nct break for many years. In 1868 he again tried to repeat his performance in poetry vvith the translation of Byron’s “Mazeppa” but it was evident that as a poet ali of his honor lay in the former period. The younger generation vvhich grevv up in the meantime did not recognize his povvers and he vvas pushed to the side in the strides of ad- vancement in literary fieids. Not .as great a luminary but more stable and vvith a povver to live in the succeeding generations vvas Frančišek Svetličič, vvho vvas born at Spodnja Idrija in 1814. He vvas the pastor Sorica for seventeen years after vvhich he retired in 1879. With the collapse of the bank- ing institution “Slovenja” and the consequent loss of ali his substance he died in poverty in Ljubljana in 1881. As a poet he uses the lyric and narrative poetry vvith a special accent on the sonnet form. In content he is very philosophic and reflexive, an attitude no doubt, born and experienced from a life of struggle and hardship. His poems vvere published in the Novice and later in the Slovenski Glasnik. Janežič vvanted to include his poems in his collection “Cvetje iz domačih in tujih logov”. For him the influence of Prešeren is very evident and is shovvn most plainly in his sonnets. The cool phelgmatic personality is evident in the poems in vvhich he considers life such as: The End of Life, Path through Life, Life, The Merchant, The Question and others. His favorite reflexion, beside his contemplation life is the past honor and glory of the Slovenes in imitation of Koseski’s “Slovenje” vvhich are shovvn in “Na planini” and “Hrušica”. In his nar¬ rative poetry he almost exclusively uses the form of the Neibulungen metre vvhich ideally fits tempera¬ ment. Uhland vvith his historical poetry inspired him to vvrite the “Turski kriz” (The Turkish Danger( “Cirknisko jezero” (The lake of Cirknica), poems vvith a medieval motive. Another of the poets of the age though very of- ficial vvas Miroslav Vilhar. Vilhar vvas born at Plani¬ na in 1818. .Studied at the Gymnasium of St. Paul in Korosk and then entered lavv schools at Vienna and Gradec but study did not fit his nature and vvith sev- eral failures he was called home to the estate of his father of vvhich he vvas put in charge. After a short time he vvas married and settled dovvn on his estate at Kalc. There his evolution into a nationalist and a Slo¬ vene poet vvas completed. He j oj ned the movement of 1848 and aftervvard vvas made an ambassador. He like his poetry many of them became of very pep 11 interest. Many of them find themselves in tlie r J portoire of every singing society. The most poPn favorites are his: “žalost” (Ko ticica sem pevela)» . “Planinarica” (Rosic ne bom »trgala), “Na jezert J the Lake).

An enterprising rnudic firm that must have anticipated the even t, so shortly did its product appear on the streets after baby Lindy had made his debut, coin- ed money by peddling' a song bearing a pibture of an infant in a red airplane towed by a stork, the chorus of vhich read: Ba-by Lin-dy, the ivhole. world welcomes you. Ba-by Lin-dy, we’re ali so prouči it’s true. ,You have your mother’s beauti- ful eyes. Will you fly like your daddy. \vay up in the skies? Roek-a-bye baby, your mothei Avill croon. While daddy takes you flying over the moon. You’re hs sweet an your (maj and a s niče as your pa. Ba-by Lin-dy, v.e’re proud ot ! you, Lindy jr. first saw the light of dav June 22'but a name was not agreed upon until Juiy. 8th. There was some talk of namjng him for Dwigiht Morrow, Lindy’s father-in-law, who as a senator- ial aspirant has gotten such a flying start (if’you will excuse the nun!). But it sgems to have been agreed that if Lindy’s baby is to follow in the airpaths of his .father he should also be a Charles Augutus. Even so they needn’t have hurried naming him .— he won’t be counted mi¬ ti! the 1940 cehsus ^ any way. And what a future awaits Charles jr.! He has already been admitted to ihonorary member- ship in a Western Optimisfs Club. And Pariš (which mold- ed 10,000 clothing' dummies in the image of Charles sr.) is nov making a wax Lindy baby for the next Christmas trade. “Mrs. Lindbergh couldnh have picked a better day if she bad set out to have her baby on the astro- logical plan.” says Evangeline S. Adams, astrologer, who found the planets' so arranged on that day to indicate that Lindy will he a high flyer like his dad, with the pos$ibility offhim becoming an ambassador like his grand- dad. As for his courage in the air, Miss Adams figures dihat the relation of Mars to Taurus will make him as brave as a buli, aided no doubt by the fact that Mrs. Lindbergh kept up her flying until a few days be- fore Lindy jr. was born. Many have been the subter- fuges used bv advertising-mind- ed persons in trving to get Prod¬ ucts into th|e Morrow ihome at Englewood, N. J. Only once djd a truck manage to slip past the guards. It contained a gift baby carriage \vhich was, de- clined at the house. Callers turned back tat the gates in- elude ^rown-ups bearing ali sorts of prospective gifts and children carrying flovvers- Congressionai girl seijretaries have literally sivainped the Mor- row home vitli copies of Uncle Sam’s best seller __ apamphlet on baby čare — hoping, no doubt, to receive autographed letters in retum. But they are dpomed to disappointment, for tbis is one thing in which the jSslpV father doesrf t oblige. Also, Colonel Lindberg is char- ry about having pbotos of his ajr-minded heir taken for pub- lication. This is only natura!,’ for the “flying,colqnel” ihates to have bis own picture taken. And how piainly the photographs show it ! The world’s softest j ob is said to be that' of shoemaker for Colonel Lindbergh, but judging by the many ornate and hand- made booties sent Lindy jr. many people — especially self- advertisers — think that the b-aby mav do some walking. Meanwhile it goes witho?ut saying that some of the Lind¬ berghi characteristics flying around has been halted by squalls. Lindy sr. finds his training to keep awake for long periods now serves him a good stead. And ,wheh he starts in trying to navigate the floor with hiš- heir at 2 a. m. while it has the colie he’ll vonder more than ever why people cheered 'him for flvir.g across the ocean wit*h o ril v a sandwich. And if a lul , aby is needed to pacify baby Lindy, how about this modernization of an old favorite: Solar Radiation and 'Health The results of šolar radiation research on the 1 top of the An- des Mountains are being used iiow by the Smithsonian Insti- tution in Washington in an ef- fort to solve some of the com- mon illnesses of man. Dr. C. G. Abbot, of the Institiition, de- clares that by means of ex’pe- riments in'the effect of certain rays of the sun lipon plant groivth it is “hoped to, hasten the. time when csience will de- termine which rays of the sun, in w;hat intensities and dosages, are surely useful to cure cert¬ ain human diseases.” Tho šolar radiation labor- atory on a barren mountain, 9,- 000 feet high in the nitrate de¬ sert of Chile, where neither bird, beast, insect, nor plant lives; where it rains scarcely an inch a century, and the scient- ists must lmul ali water from a town twelve miles away, was established primarily with a view to ascertaining the practic- ability of making longrange weather forecasts. But like ali scientific research the wqrk' : has yielded, in addition, Information v/hich is useful in solving many seemingly unrelated problems, in this čase the relation of ultra red and infra-violet rays to bo- dily health. in this field inclu v de those at the Boyee Thompsoh Laboratory in Yonkers, New York, where ex- periments are being made with lights of different colors and different intensities and differ¬ ent intervals of light and dark- ness for several ,yqars. ' Dr. W. W. Gardner, of the Department of Agriculture, is a pioneer in separating the plants into long- day and short~day groups. He has learned that sofne , plants blossom and seed only while the days are short, and merely grow to leaves and stature in long-houved summer-time. Other plants are exactly opposite in habit, and can only blossom and seed if the days are long. “Men and animals/ as well as plants,” Dy. Abbot says, depend on sun rays in many ways. By a most curious balance of the effects of certain invisible ultra- violet sun rays ve j ust escape disaster. The oxygen of the higher, atmosphere is in part changed into ozone by them. Ali of the ozone exists more than 25 miles above the surface of the earth. If it were ali brought* down to the surface it would make a gaseous layer only as thick as a sheet of card- board. Yet, if it were absent, our eyes would be blinded and our skin scalded by certain in visible ultra-violet sun rays whfch this 'gas totally absorbs. 1 ' SPORTS Continiied from preceding page By HEINIE MARTIN ■, Tago a backermf ah indoor team - in- the Major League spent a Saturday night with a pitcher who was to hurl agaihst his bali club the follow- ing jday. But it so bappened that it rained the next day. Last Saturday the two met igain. And again rain prevent- ed the game Sunday, which simply means that the baeker vili jhav,e to pa s s up >all other, engagements and do the “Ge- sundheit” act ali, over again Sa- turday. The purpose is to keep the pitcher up late long enough the night before to make him “soft pitehing” the foliowing dav. It’s an expensive bali game so far for Johnny Gornik. But it may work out for the best. - We/ll see. What does Little Lindv say In his bed at peep of day?
