Has Seven Years Experjence Mr. Svete’s orchestral exper- ience dates back seven years to the time when with six other am- bitious young men he formed what was then known as “Ted Warner’s Hottentots.” This or¬ chestra while far from being a finished unit afforded them many hours of enjoyment because each was inbued with the one idea of someday, somehow, reaching the “Big Time.” At the end of two years of plain jobbing around, a council was held at which it was decided to enlarge the band to ten men and to change the name to Car- roll’s Silvertone Orchestra.

FIRST MEHIKE PC A SUCCESS To Become Annual Affair It’s ali over. The bowling match — the marathon — which were the chief attractions at the Interlodge inaugural picnic are now happy memories, things of the past. Some who attended were pleased, oth»rs displeased. The latter perhaps are so accus- tomed to the contirutal sameness ding and laughing ali at one time, looks out of plače; looking thru green lenses mayhaps. Hovvever, the major portion of the assem- blage enjoyed the delicious sand- wiches and other refes^iments served at minimum cost. They laughed and joined in the merri- ment of making things difficult for the long endurance contes- tants. • j i Eleven Couple in Contest It was exactly 4:00 P. M. whe n eleven couple took to the floor. Each jcontestant was numbered. The orchestra played a special number for the marathoners as they glided along slowly, some smiling, others laughing outright. It seemed so different—this dancing with numbers on their backs and the curious onlookers staring and cheering them. A lively polka fol!owed and the rest joined in fche milling, push- ing and shoving. s It reminded one of a world series or a box- ing contgst crowd emerging hap- pily excited after seeing its fa¬ vorite win. And when the or¬ chestra ceased playmg the ac- cordionist continued—and so did the marathoners. Trinko wbo employed the squeeze box did a marathon feat himself, taking out only 5 minutes for intermission and playing thruout.

A STlovene boy, Frank Sever, 18, of 1361 East 52nd Street takes a daily swim at the foot of East 72nd Street. "While diving here last Tuesday, August 18th, he saw somethifig glittering in the sand bottom. At first he thought that it was a fisherman s lantern, but upon closer inspection he saw that they were gold articles. After many dives he biought ali the pieces on the shure and discover- ed that they were church vessels. Sever took his find to the Rev. John Bremian, pastor of St. Philip Neri church on East 82nd Street and St. Clair avenue. In- q U iry by Father Brennan reveal- ed that two of the pieces were stolen from the St. Ignatius church on August 1 1 th and one chalice from the Sacred Heart church on August 3rd. Three gold pieces are mutilated beyond rec- ognition and as yet the owner has not been found. The total value of the recovered loot is estimated at over $800. It is a mystery to the police why the thieves threws so much gold into Only a few weeks ago it was annoUnced that two Slovene girls won in the city-wide contest for the most popular girl of S!heboy- gan, Wisconsin. Now word reach- es us that another pair of Slovene misses won in just such a contest and with the same tremendous majority. The two girls were thus honored at Pueblo, Colorado. Miss Mary Kočevar won the title of Miss Pueblo, by getting a total of 40 million votes, the greatest majority ever recorded anywhere. With the title of Miss Pueblo, Miss Mary Kočevar also won the prize o f $1,500, The second plače went to another Slovene, Miss Rose Perko who was neck and neck with Miss Kočevar thru¬ out the race and lost out by only one million, getting 39 million votes. For her prize Miss Perko receives a cash award of $1,100 and an electric refrigerator. In a town where there are not very many Slovenes these two girls made an almost unbelievable showing and brought honor not only upon themselves but upon the entire Slovene group. These two contests show conclusively that the Slovene girls are leaders in whatever they take up. GIRL WINS A PRIZE IN THE HEAD HUNTING CONTEST In the Head Hunting Contest condueted by the Cleveland Plain Dealer one Slovene girl received a prize. The girl fortunate enough to gain recognition in the con¬ test is Miss Mona Remec of 1011 Addison road.

It is expected that the parents will encourage their children in the study of their mother tongue by turning out in large numbers for this affair. The American Slovene artist, Mr. Greogory H. Perushek vvho stayed in Boise City, Idaho to regain his health, might now stay there permanently. Although the city has only 10,000 inhabitants it is the largest city in the S'tate of Idaho. With the help oj the city’s bon tonne Perushek staged an exhibition of his vvorks in the Boise hotel. Although much in terest prevailed for his exhibit it is rumored that he sold very little pictures. Because of this Mr. Perushek was discouraged and vvanted to leave that town at once but was finally persuaded to stay and accept a post as in- struetor of art in the schools. At the banquet in his honor they asked him vvhat he thought of the city and he frankly ansvvered that the city has no culture, no insti- tutions of art.

Business and Government Efficiency and loose-jointed organization do not go hand in hand. Modern business and progress have conclusively demonstra- ted that where there is strong organization and plenty of efficiency there is bound to be progress and a great deal of respect. Business has realized that fact and now the federal government is doing the same thing. President Hoover realized the needs of reorganization of which the government Service so obviously needs. In the ad- dress of acceptance in 1928 Mr. Hoover stated “One of the greatest difficulties of business with government is the multitude of unnecessary contacts with government bureaus, the uncertainty and inconsistancy of government policies, and the duplication of governmental activities. A large part of this is due to the scat- tering of functions and the great confusion of responsibility in our federal organization.” Very recently President Hoover undoubtedly conscious of the difficulties of which he spoke in the acceptance address appointed a Counčil of Personnel Administration. The Council consists of department heads and with advlsory committees of business men and personnel experts. The purpose of the Council is to establish a better connection with the Civil Service Commission and the Channel steamer “Chichester" enroute from New Haven, to Dieppe comes very nearly run- ning down a pleasure yacht. When warned to move away from the path of the steamer, the yacht apparently pays no head to the signal. An investi- gation is made and upon board- ing the yacht it is found that there are but two occupants aboard both of whom have been brutally murdered. The yacht is taken back to the New Haven Port and from then on the solv- ing of this mystery is in the hands of the competent inspector French of Scotland Yard. he began almost half ago to select men for a new unit — men vvhose ability was proven beyond question thru pre- vious connections. Just a few months ago he was successful in signing up the last recruit. Then the vvork began — and now the announcement that he is ready for business. To Play at G.

Jt various departments; to reduce the cost of government by elimina- ting employee turnover in federal offices; and to inaugurate the best personnel methods as thev have been found in business practice. Much useful work is expected from the Council and the work which they are expected to accomplish is of great importance to the cost and efficiency of the government. Tnaccurate and Incomplete” When one reads the reports of the Wic,kersham Committee Vvhose term expired on June 30, one fact is very clea:rly impinged in the mind of the reader. The fact in the words of the Wickersham reports it’s data on crime are “unsystematic, often inaccurate, and more often incomplete” with the commission’s ovvn remark that “accurate data is the beginning of wisdom in such a subject.” The commission has complained ali thru its investigations that it has been handicapped in dealing with the investigation on crime, by lack of adeouate records. In its recommendation to the President the commission em- phasises the need of uniform standards and methods for gathering such data. It recommends that the federal methods 'be stili fur- ther improved and that States devise some uniform methods. In view of the handicap of the commission and ali future work along the same lines in the future, the recommendation is sound. The problem of crime and methods of coping vvith the problem in the United States cannot be undertaken until records are providecl. “The Universe Around Us, by Sir James Jeans, is the story of the astronomy told in such imple phraseology that it is un- derstandable to those who have no technical knovvledge of the subject. In this book the author teliš us the simple story of the vvonderful achievements of Science in the realms of the stars, which he has discussed in former books on the subject in the scien- tific and technical terms only un- derstood by those who make a study of Astronomy. In the “Universe Around Us” he leads the inexp©rienced thru the vast regions of the heavens.

Radio and the Newspaper What some have predicted to come for a long time has eventually appeared vvhen five hundred American nevvspaper pub- lishers have gone on record in favor of the resolution that radio programs appearing in the papers should be handled as paid adver- tising. It is the first offensive on the youngest, and not the small- est, industry of radio broadcasting. The publishers protest that radio is profiteering in the press thru the free publication of the ad- vertising programs; that, radio nevvs bulletins compete vvith the prinjary function of the nevvspapers and cause them to suffer in circulation; that, radio broadcasting of advertisements is a direct threat to the chief source of income of the daily papers. To these accusations of the publishers M. H. Aylesvvorth, president of the National Broadcasting Company replies by insist- ing that, printing of programs is new s that the puhlic vvants and nevvs that builds up paper circulation; that, radio bulletins merely vvhet the appetite and cause them to buy papers for more detailed j w hen vvith one engagement lead- mformation; that, the direct advertising of radio equipment more ; n g to anot her they vvere finally than offsets any indirect loss to the press resulting from advertising booked for done over the radio. 1 Thus the vvar i° begun.

Their agitations for revolt becanj"' 5 dangerous that the Emperor Ferdinand III. f 0Und S ° necessary to plače them on trial for rebellion. The court arrived at a death sentence as a 1 for both of these great vvarnors. But, it vvas do u b t f u | vvhether or not this death sentence vvoulj he carriec} o ( According to the lavvs of Ferdinand, a secret committ had to pass upon the justice of any important judgtn etlj ruled out by- the court. Nevertheless in this čase Fe rt j nand made it certain that there vvould be bat Jj decision of this committee; (that of passing the death sentence), by inviting to this meeting only Germ an ' vvhile o,miting the Slovenes. The members of the com. mittee vvere Schvvarzenberg, Lamberg, Martinic, f\| 0stjc Sintzendorf and Hocher and the tvvo clerks Abele an( j Dorsch. These at once decided that the court’s ded- sion vvas just and valid and that the only thing to d 0 vvas to cut off the heads of these tvvo revolutionists and take away ali their possessions. This committee a U decreed that on the day of the execution, the emp er() , should remove himself to Luxemburg and should remain there until the execution vvould be completed and that he should take extra precaution by placing a stron« guard around the castle. This vvas done in order to prevent his assassination by any of the allies of Zrinjski and Frankopan. They also discussed vvhether or not the tvvo agitators should once more be brought to tnal and by means of the račk ;be. forced to teli She names of the other conspirators. Hovvever the majority of the committee vvere against this shameful proceeding. Thev :aIso came to the conclusion that the sentenced men vvould not select their ovvn confessors but they would have to confess their sins to a priest appointed by the court. No friends or relatives vvould be allovred to se' them and bid them farevvell. They can talk about no.* ing other than a religious topič. This is what the Aw trian government called a “mild” judgment for these tvvo outstanding men, vvho had so bravety fought [or the Austrian government in its defence against the Turks. Although Peter Zrinjski and Fran Frankopan vvere stili hoping that they vvould be freed, many menacing clouds vvere hovering over their heads. On the 28th of April the tvvo clerks Abele and Molitor vvent to Novo Mesto, there to teli the tvvo pri- soners about the death sentence and to get everythin; ready for the execution. When they arrived there, hovv¬ ever, everything vvas already arranged. In the prison yard the execution platform had already been put up. The ax, vvith vvhich the tvvo vvere to be beheaded vvas already sharpened. The black cloth vvith which the) vvould vvrap up the headless bodies vvas there.

Y. M. C. conflict. A reprint of the letter written by Heinie Martin, president of the League and Mr. Evan’s reply is shown below. Mr. Wm. Evans: Will you answer the follcwing to settle a heated argument ? Score 3-1 favof team in field, man on base. Umpire calls time just as bali was hit for a home run tying score. Team in field claims r^mpire had no right to call time since the bali had already left the.pitchePs band Who is right? Suppose that the bali had actual- ly been hit when play was sus- pended. Would the umpire be jinstified in calling time because of hindrance from a returned foul bali? Your a n swer on this matic; will be greatly appreciated. HEINIE MARTIN Preš. Interlodge League THE ANSWER— Calling time is entirely up to the judgment cf the umpire. It is within his power to do so at any time. When he chooses to call time, play is automatically suspended. Anything that may happen is void. The umpire was right if he chos,e to call time. There is no appeal from his judgment. “BILLY” EVANS - BY JOSEPH A.

The Pioneers held a 1- 0 lead over last year’s champs, and had two men out in the first of the sixth but as the last bat- ter was up, a sudden cloudburst flooded the playing field, making | it necessary to call the game. In ^ their previous encounter both clubs played a scoreless tie in eight innings. The Pioneers tal¬ lied in the first. as the first b<;.t- ter got on second base as the re- , suit of an error.

In this last game, Heinie caught a severe cold and is under a doc- tor’s čare at St. Luke’s Hospital. Heinie is well remembered by his speed in last spring s high school track meets. Regarless of his size, Heinie was one of the best runners in the school. He asks his friends to pay him a visit at the hospital. And Heinie here s something for you — ali your friends wish you a speedy re- covery, and they hope to see you soon in action. The Orels handed the S. Y. M. C. a 9 - 0 forfeit as they refused to continue play after a dihputed time out on a play. The S. Y. M. C. held a 3 - 1 lead going into the last half of the last frame, but it seemed that after two men were ou^, the Orels would stili win. Marinko singled to center. On the pitched bali, Olsen, umpiring, • called time, when he saw that the right fielder who had retrieved a foul bali, was not on the playing field. Hi? warning was not heard by either Twin Yerse, hurling for the S. D. Z. outfit and “Red” Brancelj batting for the Orels. “Red” connected for a homer which would have tied the score, but time was out, and as a result an argument started as to the deci¬ sion.

Lickert Biasts Triple With Bases Loaded in Eighth LOCAL NEWSPAPER GIVES MANY ATHLETIC TROPHIES As the season for playgrounds is drawing to a close the young- sters are working overtime to cop the last honors given out by the playgrounds for excellency in various events. Of the most im- portant eVent held last week was the News’ Athletic Meet for the East District Playgrounds held at the Hodge playground, Tues- day, August 18th. Among the winners of the meet were many Slovenes. Rose Martič, Sophia Paynich, Angela Verbič, Anna Kerzicnik, Ida Belaj, George Pez¬ dir, Paul Minnich, Frank Svekric and Henry Laurich won places in the meet. They are mostly from East Madison, Hodge o,r Stanard playgrounds. With the winning of places in the meet they will also have the right to compete in the city-wide finals which are taking plače today at Euclid Beach Park. With the last opportunity for ohtaining the News Athletic Badges the children are striving zealously to get the required number of credits for the badge. The following Slovenes passed the tests last week and jV/ere en- rolled into the class of Athletes: Paul Kausek, Adolph Brancelj, Albert Kozar, Frank Celizic, Joe Žitko, Lenore Azbe, Mae Ber- kopec, Anna Pustotnik and Fred Blatnik. The Betsy Ross wrecking crew of aspiring youngsters again up- set the dope, this time by edging the strong Clairwoods, 7-6. After defeating the Boosters last week, the Flagmakers again came to the fore, by humbling the Clairwoods. Conceded a small chance pf winning by the show- ing of their previous games, the Betsy Ross club is the surprise of the season. Improving in every department of the game, these beginners are outshining their ri- vals. After tlailing by a 4 - 3 count up to the eighth, a ra!Iy netted them four runs and gave them their first lead, 6-4. In this rally Lickert, catching, crash- ed a triple with the paths loaded. The Clairwoods made another bid for victory when they tallied twice in the first of the ninth to tie the score, but the Flagmakers 'were not to be denied, for they shoved over the winning run in their half of the inning. Holovvenko hurled rather nice- ly, aliowing but 7 hits and he himself cracked out a hit scoring a runner ahead of him. Yelity clouted a circuit drive and Lick¬ ert took batting honors by get- ting two hits out of four trips to the piate. L. Zust, the losing mounds- man, was nicked for nine hits, but two were doubles a triple and a homer, four hits for extra bases. Louis also banged out a homer, but to no avail. “Augie” Kogoy was the bright spot in the defeat. He bagged a- pair of two baggers and a single for batting laurels L. Zust also got two out of three hits. COMRADES EDGE SYMC 3 2 Krainz and Novak Star at Bat the sixth and in the ninth. ATHLETE IS TAKEN ILL SUDDENLY SCHOOL IS Hillu: !

He is stili in a serious condition, Henry was one of the most promising Stovene athletes of the day. He was a track star at East High School and a verv brilliant sand- lot bali player. Only a few days ago he copped first plače in the senior boys’ east playground Ath¬ letic Meet, sponsored by the News. The Comrades edged the S. Y. M. C. by a 3 - 2 count. The S. D. Z. outfit came close to iy- ing the count in the last inning as they crossed the piate once and had the tying run on third base, but Prebles štručk out to end the contest. Although the Comrades nick¬ ed him for 1 1 hits Twin Yerše □ n the mound for the Young Men, kept them well scattered. The S. N. P. J. club ^cored twice in the fourth and once in the sixth while the Young Men tallied in Jarc on the rubber for the Comrades allowed hut four hits, two of which went to “Snag” Tekavec. He breezed six and walked five. Krainz with a triple and single led the basmen, while Novak and Jarc each bagged a pair of singles. Yerse vvhilfed seven and issued one base on balls. Simonis with a double and Slapnik with a single were the other hitters be- side Tekavec. LAURICH SHUTS OUT PROGRESSIVES Fina! Score is 8-0. Keeps 6 Hits Widely Scattered KALLISTER TO SEE ACTION NEXT SUNDAY The Collinwood Boosters back- ed Laurich’s neat hurling, with timely batting and came out on top of a 8-0 count. Working his first game Laurich gave up hut six hits, and had them scat¬ tered thruout the game. The Boosters found Trebeč for twelve hits, six of them being for extra bases. The winners scored two in the second, added two more in the third and finished by Cross¬ ing the piate four times in the fourth. Laurich štručk out eight and walked one. He also proved to he the leading batsmen, blasting a two bagger and a triple out of four trips to the piate. Kogak bagged a pair of doubles, while Valkovar crashed a single and double. Koren and Carrish each smashed out a pair of singles, and Yarko clouted a three bagger. Trebeč whiffed four and issued one base on balls. Cvetic and Lukard smacked a pair of singles apiece to pace the losers. Kul- win and Weck each laced out a two bagger apiece. siMms COB3 GO POST- PONED BETSY ROSS TROUNCE EUCLID FOUNDRY There may have been some astonishment to our local fans, when they did not see Rudy Kal- lister of the powerful Brazis Bros. in class B, in Sunday’s game. Rudy who holds down the sec¬ ond base position, slightly twisted his ankle in a practice game, and as a result could not play. He expects to be in the line-up Sunday and it sure is a pleasure to see him romping around the second base pasture. Rudy is one of the hardest hitters in class B. To Be Held ca Labor Day September 7th This week’s sudden downpour of rain prevented many šport ac- tivities. Among them was the heavyweight battle between Fr. Simms our hard hitting local lad, and Walter Cobb, a Kansas farm- er. Cobb is a husky lad 23 years of age and his latest fights have impressed quite a number of New York sportsmen. He boasts of vietories over Marty Gallagher and Babe Hunt. The latter holds a decision over Frankie. Frankie is also stepping at a niče pace, his Stadium knockout has impressed our local writers who give him on edge on Cobb, stating that Frankie should take the Kansasans measure. The Betsy Ross found the Eu¬ clid Foundry pitching to their liking and before they called it a day, crossed the piate 1 7 times to their opponents 3 times. Ho- lowenko was the mainstay of the tussle, his hurling keeping the foundrymen in check. vvvvv picnic HELD BY RIBNICA Lodge No. 12 SDZ * ♦ ♦ ♦WVWV** W **VVVVVV* >♦♦♦• SUNDAY, AUGUST 30,193 Gorišek’s Farm, Noble, Ohio Everybody Invited v PAGE FOUR/PT CLEVELAND JOURNAL August 28th, Tower o’ Tattles ■^►FRANCES T.

SPEND SUNDAY AT SEK’S FARM GORI- A most pleasant day is prom¬ ised to ali who will go out to Gorisek’s farm, Noble, Ohio, vvhere the lodge Ribnica No. 12 S. D. Z. is holding its annual picnic. Amusements for both young anj old, together with the best of refreshments vvill be in order on that day. On the Arenue Miss Pauline Plevnik sends a card from her Triglav mountain climb, proudly bearing the stamp of- “Vodnikova koča na Velem Polju, 1805 M., Triglavski Dom, Kredarica, 2515 m.” and “Alja- čev Stolp, vrh Triglava 2863 m.” She has vvritten an account of her journey vvhich vvill appear in tomorrow’s issue of the Enako¬ pravnost. - Writing of Postumia, she ex- plains, “It took tvvo hours to visit the caves, and the sights vvere really vvonderful. It felt just like entering a fairyland ali of slone. If one uses his imagination just a little, and at times it isn’t nec- essary, he may see beautiful parks, valleys, churches, steeples, buildings, graves, monkeys and everything else. The further a visitor travels thru this vvondrous palače, the more interesting it becomes. There are even little pools of vvater that may be im- agined as a small lake or a stream in a valley. The caves boast of an auditorium or dance hali, lit up vvith crystal chandeliers and an orchestra pit, ali of vvhich is composed of natural formation (exclyding lights, of course). Venice is a romantic city. Women and men apparelled in the best that fashion has to offer, go about, riding in gondolas, in- stead of taxis. There is a strange appeal in this ancient city built on vvater. Everyone seems so friendly, the gondoliers serenade to the happy lovers that are en- grossed in the Italian moon, and hail to each other as the gondo¬ las pass. The ancient cathedrals are vvondrous. We visited the church of St. Mark vvith its courtyard of pigeons, the isle of St. Giorgis, the church of La Salute vvith its beautiful ancient interior of mar- ble and stained glass vvindovvs. We spent hours in the Doges Palaces vvith its paintings and marvelled at the art in the monu- ments erected to Titian, Canova and Calleoni. The Civic Museum held vvonders for us as did Lido vvith its Iuxurious night life. We sighed every time vve pass- ed underneath the Bridge of Sighs and thought of the unfortunates vvhoi had at one time passed thru it. The Venetian shops vvith their exquisite embroideries and, linens, shavvls and silks held us in avve. We vvent thru the glass factory and vvatched hovv the beautiful dinner sets, vases, chandeliers and glass ornaments vvere made. Hovv bad vve felt that vve could not bring at least half of those precious pieces home vvith us! Best regards to everyone. —Pauline By the vvay, Miss Plevnik is the first American Slovene to make the daring climb to the Triglav peak.
