Posledni doby nasledkem ochabnuti v prtimyslu a s nim spojene znaene sni2ene zamestnanosti, nastal i pokles v ircasti na nakch taneenich zabavach. Ty jsou jednim z prament radovYch prijmt a tak bylo poukazovano na to, jakYmi zpiisoby by bylo mono onen pokles prijmu z tohoto pramene nahraditi. Nasledovne elenove zabavniho vYboru se primlouvali, by elenove radu navkevovali tyto zabavy ye vetSim poetu.

Lee jejich dobra vole a snaha vy2aduje si take trochu podpory elenstva a to hlavne plati v torn ohledu o zvj7geni tadovj7ch ptijmn. A2 doposud bylo elenstvo velmi liberalnim v povolovani darn na dobroeinne rieele mimotadove, ze kterjrch elenstvu radu nic neplyne. Nahledem pisatele jest, by polo2ky na zmiIlene dary byly napti gte hodne omezeny s poukazem na zmen gene pkijmy radu a 2e tad ma znaerie vjilohy v dobroeinne akci pro sve elenstvo. Tato polo2ka pro dobroeinne fieele poskytovana, v minuljich letech rriznjun tem dobroeinnjrm neelrim, z nich elenove radu nic nemeli, einivala znaenji obnos. Na ge elenstvo se na ne neobraci o podporu v padu potteby, tedy rid' se v budoucnu porekadlem: "Charity begins at home."

Nevim ptesne co se mini pod slovem "square dance", snad je to, co jsme nazYvali ye stare vlasti etverylka, zabird-li to te2 "besedu" a snad jine podobne tance, nevim. Ale jak jsem zvedel od na gi dcery Herriet Earloy e, prihlasilo se do toho beim hodne cviknell a tak preji teto mykence hodne zdaru. Sam jsem ji2 na to hodne star.

Cin Vagiktiv zatkas1 ji mc,,cne, 2e takoYell° rozechveni posud neza2ila. Takhle ji odkopnout ye chvili, kdy se toho nenadada, pfitlaeit ji a2 tia pokraj propasti, ani by toho byla drive tu gila, hanebne ji zradit, ze hanelanej gi zrady si pfedstaviti nemohla, to bylo tuze mnoho. Za to noc, kterou ztravila po odchodu Va gikoye, prozila vgechny stupne rozechveni a ilzkosti. Rano naglo ji zase pokojnou a odhodlanou. Vgak nepadne jen tak lehce. nenecha se jen tak potupit a za svou lasku a dtveru hanebne oklamat. Pkijde chvile, kdy ona pkipravi jernu. Va gikovi okam2ik tak hfoznY, jako on ji.

V noci, kdy uvalovala, co poene, ustanovila se, 2e se pusti rodiefim. Hanbe neujde. Ale at'. Rok to snese a za rok naskytne se lidem neco jineho, o tern budgu hovokit a ona bude miti pokoj. Poprosi rodide, aby sli k ni, lot:0611i ji tech n.kolik set, ktere men ulo2eny na sve p â&#x20AC;˘ilepgeni. Matka ji dohledne na domacnost, otec na pole, take nebude musiti mezi lidi, a ku potahu se2ene nejakeho tfeba rnlad giho eeledina. A byla si jista, 2e se bude prat s osuclem, ze bude zapasit s nepkizni a s nehodami, jen aby zachranila statek, aby nepkostala bYti selkou a nernusila od nikoho sna get vYeitky, pkijhnet milosti.

Tu g ila, 2e ji u rodiefl eeka, trpkii lazeri.

Otec byl v2cly pkisnY, dbal dobreho jmena sve rodiny, a ma.tka, byla zbanovatelkou sveho Co on konal, bylo. ano, dle kjiho nahledu musilo byti dobre.

M jim povi, co se s ni stalo, bude zle, bude velmi zle, a na konec snad piece oba ji oclpusti. Ostatne rada, v ge od nich snese. ZaslouZi trest za to, 2e se nevdavala, kdy mohla. NerozvaIila, kam se vrha, poddavajic se hnuti sve va gue. Ted' site poznala svou chybu, ale u'Z pozde.

Kdy2 vygla, podivala se k obloze a vzdychla zhluboka. Takova bazeri a fizkost ji pojala, 2e a2 odi se ji slzami zalily.

Vykraaujic gtatne po mezi vzhilru do strand, na ni2.se tahly pole a pastviny, nedivala se kolem sebe. Chvatala, aby radeji u2 byla na miste, aby mela odbyto, po eem tak horoucne prahla.

Najednou zaslechla se strany pozdrav, pronesenY znamYrn hlasem. Zvedla hlavu a zarazila se. V gecka, se hanbou uzardela, a2 v rczpacich stanula. Nedaleko od ni stala Franti gka. Melo, kolem pasu uvazanou travnici a trhala mlade mliei pro housata.

Ted' teprve podekovala. Rada by byla neco rekla, ale nevedela co. Videla, Franti gka odvazuje travnici a jde k ni.

Co ji povi? Jak ma, se k ni chovat? Bezto-

ho se s matkou Vagikovou proti ni uradila a ted' pkichazi vyzvidat, co ona tomu rika, mrzi-li ji to hodne, aby se potom po strane mohla vysmat. Stala nehybne, a kdy Franti gka k ni prisla, chladne podala ji ruku.

Ale hned ji zamrzelo, 2e mela Franti g -kuvpodezfni.Vlavjeicho slzy. Pohnuti hrnulo se ji do hla yy, hrdlo mela staIene a citila, 2e derou Se ji do oci slzy. Rada by je byla zatlaeila, ale nemohla. A tak chvili staly mleky vedle sebe s oeima zam2enyma, citice, ze jsou si obe opet tak blizko jako veera. `Vidite, Frantigko, jak jsem negt'astna," zaoala Kotrbka chvejicim se hlasem, stirajic si slzy a upokojujic se. "Jake ma ta vase matka svedomi! Mluvila se mnou, jakoby medu ukrajoval, a zatim u2 se chystala, co proti mne provede. Vette mi, kdybych nepamatovala na deti, skoeila bych do vody."

"Nat zoufat," chlacholila Frantigka.

"Irate mi, ja, ani mu2 nemohli jsme celou noc spat a stale jsme o torn hovokili.

Povidali jsme si, 2e je to snad pro vas dobfe, 'Ze se to takhle stalo. Va gik byl marninein mazanek a tkeba by si vas byl vzal pkece ona by yam zkalila ka2clou chvili. U nas uz mrzutosti za'ealy. Jak vdera Este ode gla, zadala proti yam. Ja vas hailla a ona utekla. Baela za Va gikem Honzik pohadal se s ni, ne2 Vagik se pkistehoval a pak zaeala mrzutost na novo. Odkazal ji do vYmenice. Dnes 3/2 do bo2iho jitra, beha po vsi povida o vas i o nas. Vase se zlosti, ze s nami nebude v jedne svetnici zustavat a fist, proto2e vi 2e ji ted' bude zle. Chtela jsem za, ni prosit muse ale vidim, 2e to bylo moudre, 'Ze hned naponejpr y ji zakkikl a itkozal, 2e se ji neda. Va gika dnes u2 take mrzi, co provedl. Chodi v gecek stra-: pent', rano se pohadal s matkou a zda se mi, 2e by tuze rad se vracel."

"Ke mne u2 nikdy se nevrati," kkikla Kotrbka naru2ive. "At' si dobke pamatuje, co mi na me prosby a na, me pfedkladani odpovidal. Pkijde chvile kdy by rad kahle slovo zlatem platil, aby je smel vziti zpet, ale pak zase ja jernu budu tak odpovidat jako on mne. I to dite, ktereho je otcem, 3.2 se narodi, budu &it proklinat vlastniho tatu, a povim mu, co to bylo zad."

"Panimamo, prosim vas, tak se nezakikavejte, chytila ji Franti gka za ruku. ani nevi takovy vinnik, jako jeho matka. Uvidite r a2 se mu to v Nave rozle21, pozna, jak chybil, a rad piljde jegte zpatky."

"Fratiti gko, to vgechno je u2 marne," povidala vdova ted' u2 mirneji, ale piece tak, ze bylo ize poznati nezlomnou "Kdyby Va gik byl ptigel net jsem odegla z domova, snad bych bYvala se poddala a mohlo bYti dobke. Ale jak jsem udelala

krok pies prah, uz je konec. Tak, jako by se bylo kus srdce utrhlo a nekam zapadlo.

112 pro neho nemam nic net nenavist.

Jen da-li mi MTh, abych ted', kdy se vgech stran se to na mne hrne, obstala.

Za rok u2 mi bude leheeji. Ach, ke g byste tak mohla jit se mnou a pomohla mi nest, co me ted' eeka. To je nejtrpei chvile meho 21vota."

"Kam jdete?" ptala se Franti gka s sti.

"K rodiefim. To bude hrozriY okarn2ik."

Zachvela se a pkikryla, si tvak rukama.

Franti g kazhlecla pohnutim a hluboce doja.ta, mleky ji pozorovala. Jak ji litovalat Vedela, 'Ze slova Utechy u2 nic nezmohou.

Ale za to tim vet gi odpor pocitila proti zbabelemu Va'Sikovi a jeho matce.

"Ale at'," kekla Kotrbka po chilli, a ruce ji klesly dolu, "at' me tkeba odkojonou a poali31, od nich to snesu, na kolenou se budu plazit pled nimi, dokud me nevyslechnou. Budou-li oni u nine, vim, ze nikdy rieklesnu, ze vgechno pkestojim.

A to chci, aby svet vial, 2e nejsem tak gpatna. Modlete se, Franti gko, abych se vracela veseleji, ne2 ted' jdu."

"Dej vam to nab," pkala ji mlada na vroucne. "Ale na mne se nehnevate, vid'te?"

"Nehnevam, Myslila jsem zprvu, snad taky jste se postavila, proti nine; vidim, 2e jsem se zrnYhla. Dekuji pekne, .2e jste me neodkopla jako Vagik.

Ja vam toho nezapomenu, a nebudeli yam to Nrnba, 2e s takovou gpatnou Mnskou s znate bYti kamaradka, zustaneme pfitelkynemi na v2dycky."

"Ne, za vas nebudu se stydet nikde a pled nikYm," ozvala se Franti gka a radostnY rumenec zaskoeil ji na tvarich.

"Spolu budeme chodit do kostela a z kbstela a nado mute se opovalt pled mnou neco proti yam iici. Toho bych spraIlla. Ale ja, vas zdituji. Bette a gt'astile se vrat'te A jako vicera i dnes se polibily, pkitiSkly se iileji k sobe a pak 112 Kotrbka be&la vzhilru. Franti gka hledic za ni, vazala si zvolna, travnici kolem bon a pfemYglela, co ta 2enska, za posledni dni za2ila. Divila se jejimu odhodlani a jak najednou zkekla se na v2dy toho, mela rada.

Kotrbka u zmiz.ela a Franti gka stab. dosud. Pak vzdychla a kraeejic zvolha dale do pole, za geptala: "A ja bych to takovemu eloveku udelala zroVna, tak, jak ona."

Cele dopoledne my glenkami stihala Kotrbku. Jak si pokidila? Jakeho privitani se ji dostalo? Dle toho, jak ji napovedela, musi to bYt pro ni okam2ik neztnerneho pokokeni a Uzkosti.

A byl take! Rod.iee se lekli nahleho jejiho pkichodu. Tusili, 2e pro nic obyeejneho o v gednim dnu k nim se nepustila.

hadali hned, ze dnes usly gi neco velmi zleho. Znali povahu dcetinu, kterak hraye ptekonavala vSecky fizkosti. Chvejeli se dnes, pak byl jeji ptichod znamenim negtesti.

Kotrbka neodvalila se hned iici celou pravdu. Napied jenom hovoilla o nouzi a nedostatku, kterY na ni celou vahou dolehi, a prosila rodiee, aby odstehovali se k ni a penize ji pujcili. Mimo nadani zahy sptatelili se s tou my glenkou a slibill, le do tYdne p•ijdou.

Ale pak nastala nejta gi chvile. Matka pozorovala, ze dcera ma je gte neco na svedomi, a kdy mul vygel, aby ptines1 ze skiepa lahev piva k ucteni sve dcery, vygla za nim.

"Ty, stark. tu holku jegte neco tlaei. 'nese se potad a nemille se mi podivat do oei."

"A co by to bylo?" ptal se stark, vav se patrave na "Ja, dosud nevim, ale hadam to tak. Al se yratig , zeptam se ji. Nedej Bith, aby to bylo neco zleho."

"Co pak je male dite?" namital start' nedtivetive. "Ty ma g v2dycky plane strachy. Jdi tam, at' si nemysli, ze o ni povidame."

Stara poslechia a jak na ni p•edtucha sedla, nebyla s to za neptitonmosti mu2ovy nejakY hovor s dcerou zaeiti. Kotrbka v nejvetgim napjeti sedela a ztrnule divala se ke dvetim. Kdyl" otec vstoupil, vl'ala a chvili tie stala. On postavil pivo, a vgiml si hrozne blede jeji tvate.

"Co je ti, Marjanko?" ptal se starostliye.

A to ona, drive nel ji mohl zadrleti, klesla pied nim na kolena sklonila eel° al' k zemi.

"Pro lasku bozi, tatinku, odpust'te mi," zavzlykala ripenlive.

Stark sklonil se k ni a chtel ji zvedflout. Lekl se a pojala ho ilzkost. Hlava se mu zatoeila, ze musil usednouti.

"Co ti mam odpustit?" optal se starostlive.

Neodpovidala. Za to stara, k ni ptistoupila asklonila se k ni.

"Marjanko, ty jsi sama druha, vid'," povidala s pldeem. Kotrbka jen hlavou ptikYvla a soupajic se pokolenou, az k otci se dotahla a jeho nohy kteeovite •objala.

Chvili panovala ve svetnici ticho.

"At' jde prye!" ktikl potom start na svou 2enu a snaM1 se sve nohy vyprostiti z jejich rukou. Ale ona jej drkla tak pevne, 'le nemohl jimi pohnouti.

"Smilujte se nad hti gnici," lkala, "pied Bohem yam slibuji, ze ill' nikdy se toho nedopustim, le vas chci poslouchat jako deveeka, ze mi smite v gechno udelat a vgechcno iici, jen se pro Boha nade mnou smilujte, ull k vuli tomu nevinnemu tvoru jen't za nic nemfde.",

"Ty, starY, vzpamatuj se," prosila matka, chvejic se fizkosti. "Nezapominej, jsi ktest'an. Koukej tamhle na krucifix, On taky odpustil Mali Magdalene, odpust' ty svemu diteti."

Hlava staremu klesla na prsa, brada poeala se mu tkasti a z oei mu vyhrkly slzy.

"Co jsi to, Marjanko, udelala!" breptal mezi pldeem. "Kdybys jako 2ebraeka k nam se vratila, tolik bys nas nezarmoutila, jako timhle."

Nebranila se, nehajila, ale tim pevneji svirala jeho nohy.

"Prot jsi nam to tak dlouho tajila," domlouvala ted' take matka, kdy'l videla; ze tatik nepropukl v lani, ale le plaCe. To byla znamka, le odpou gti. "Kdybys byla hned po smrti sveho mule pti gla a tekla, abyohom Ali k tobe, byli bychom to udelali, a ty jsi se mohla uchranit takovehle hanby."

"Jen me, maminko, hubujte," stenala dcera. "Ja to vim, le bych si zasloulila, abyste me vyhnali, aby me Pan Bfih potrestal. Jen se na me nezlobte, odpust'te mi a ja, yam budu do smrti vdeena."

"Vstari!" poroueel otec s mirnou kou ye svem hlase. "Wdycky jsme to naSi neveste davali za vzor a ted' se nam vysineje. Jak ted' mam se pustit do Lhoty? Lido budou po tvern staveni ukazovat prstem a shotim hanbou." jsme to holce slibili," chlacholila ho stark "co by si bez nas poeala, kdyl ji takova vec ceka. Nebudeme si lidi mat a pfekousneme to snad take. Abych tekla pravdu, ja odtud ptijdu rada. Aspori nebudu se divat na kysele oblieeje na.gi mlade."

"Col pak ty jsi vedycky kazila deti ptilig nou dobrotou. Vidis, eeho jsi se doekala."

"Tatinku, ul se nehnevejte," 2ebronila Marjanka, pozvedajic hlaVu. a ehytajic ho za ruku. Polibila ji nekolikrat vroucne, ac se ji snaZil vy gkubnouti. Kdy'l koneene ji pustila, polozil ji na jeji hlavu a sklonil se k ni.

"Bah ti odpust' tak, jak ja odpougtim," povidal mace. "A to t ipovidam, uvidim11 nebo uslygim-li to nejmengi, rozejdeme se na vldycky, pak zapomenu, ze jsem tvilj tata. Vstari a sedni si."

Vstala a se sklopenou hlavou jako htignice usedla, ku peci na lavici. Matka podada ji sklenici piva. Omoeila rty a pastavila sklenici na pec.

"Jen se napij vie," nutila ji matka, ptisedajic k ni. "A povez nam, jak to tam vgecko mag."

Byla zvedava, s kYm dcera se zapomnela a ted' nastal v'slech. Tatik odegel yen, protole se bal, aby se nerozzlobil a protole take vedel, le dcera matce samotile lepe se vyzpovida. Ptiznani dlouho nechtelo se datit, al koneene po pte-

"idig , karn t akove spolky vedou?" pokarala ji mime. "Ale dostala jsi za, vyueenou. Tatik bude je gte nejakY den brueet a ja to odnesu nejvice. Z toho si ul nic nedelarn. Mani jen starost, abys udrlela hospodatstvi. Oasto jsem si na tebe vzpomnela. Snad (la Pan Brih, ze je Ate vgechno se obrati k dobremu. Jen s polatku AtiRovi neodmlouvej a heliej vgechno, jak on bude chtiti. Povidalas, le pottebuje g eeledina?"

"Ano, maminko."

"Vidig . to se hodi. Na gim chce eeledin odejit. M dal yYpoved', protole ho mlada trypila hladeni. Promluvim s nim a mohla bys ho vzit ty. Je to dobrY elovek, ladnY tulak a praci rozumi. Da g-li mu dost jist, budeg s nim spokojena. Po gkej, uvatim ti trochu polevky a pak si pobe.hneg, abys nemela dum prazdnY." Marjance se vracela krev do Wle. Ul mela pa starosti a chut' k 2iVotu rozlevala se jejim nitrem. Citila, le ma °pet pevnou pudu pod nohama, le se zachrani a to ji bylo slastnou nahradou za ptestarnuka. Rychle vstala a poeala matce pomahati. Pobihala swim prulnYm, tichYm krokem po svetnici, sna gejic, co bylo za,pottebi. Tatik, jen'l se zatim byl vratil, sledoval ji akradkem. Aekoliv hrot hanby kalil ka2de jeho pomy gleni, piece pti pohledu na dceru nemohl se zlobiti. Valycky ji mel rad a miloval ji vice nel syna. Hte gila, povidal sam u sebe, ale proto ma piece dobre srdce a napravi, co zavinila.

Kdyl sedeli p11 obede, poeal se ji kuse yyptavat na pole, jak chce zasevat a co v hospodatstvi Mat. Tvatil se dosud pohnevan, ale ptece deal nejlep gi kousky ptistrkaval, do jidla ji nutil a natizoval ji, aby po ceste tuze nechvatala a pozor si dala, aby nestonala.

Po obede se uradili, kdy ma pro rodiee poslat, a pak se rozloudili. Otec ji pollbil a pohroziv ji prstem natizoval, aby si dala ted' pozor, by uz nikdy ho nezarmoutila. Matka hodila si gatek na hlavu a Ma s dcerou daleko za yes. Pak stala, dokud dcera neza gla. Usmivajic se, kinsala domri. Nemela uz ted' v Jarkovicich stani a ptemY glela, co ma chystat, aby v eas mohli se stehovat.

Kotrbka Ma raznYm krokem, divala se do sveta otevfene a jasne. Z yugne pozdravovala lidi, ktere potkavala, a snad by si byla zazpivala sladkou radosti, ktera ji pozvedala a du gi jeji pinila. Rano Ma z domova ponilena, ugtvand, zoufalk ted' se vracela podeptend, zachranend, u yedomi, le ji path pomsta, ze ona bude se moci radovati z pokoteni toho, jenl ji tak hrube odkopl.

Juvenile Insurance Program .

The full credit for this article goes to Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Frank G. Svadlenak.

I still can see him standing in the shade of an oak at the picnic of Lodge No. 47, at Seaton, with his coat thrown across his shoulder and talking to Brother Dana, Brother F. E. Hejl, and others about the problems of the SPJST. Then he suddenly turned toward me.

"And that's where you, as editor, could help us put the idea of juvenile insurance program before our members, and help us keep it going. keep it growing and working."

"Our juvenile department," he continued, "should be three, four, five times as strong as it is at present. That's where our future members are. Tots like those," and Brother Svadlenak pointed to some youngsters enjoying popsicles, "should be in our juvenile department, every one of them. We are overlooking our dutiesapproach parents in the interest of the children.

Most of the parents are trying pretty hard to save for the little ones, and it is our job to talk to them and show them that through the protection in our juvenile department they can do exactly what they have in their hearts."

So I agreed that I would start with articles about juvenile insurance. It was the first hint to me from an officer of the Supreme Lodge what to put in our official paper—and I was glad to receive that hint. From here on there will be something about "those tots" quite often.

An an introduction, you will find in this issue of the Vestnik a really excellent article about selling juvenile insurance by a man who sold almost a quarter of a million of "baby protection" in 1948. He evidently knows the value of juvenile insurance. Read it by all means.

Brother Svadlenak started with an idea. Couldn't we accept it as a part of our program? Couldn't we work on it and develop it more effectively? Couldn't we adopt it in all earnestness? How about those grandchildren of mine and yours? Let's be honest—how about them?

On my part, I have to admit that I •

ahead by the trial and error method. In addition, none of our members have ever suffered with the inflation of personality, and all the leadership in the local lodges have been along the lines of the American concept of free competition.

Each lodge have functioned as a democratic unit, without publicity. All ideas, opinions, and efforts for improvements of the functioning of the SPJST has generated by personal contact and by direct discussions.

Our field of influence is slowly penetrating through the various structures of the business world.

So it's time to put my words to practical application. Two SPJST certificates to my own grandchildren wouldn't be a bad idea.

See, Brother Svadlenak, where you've already got me? Buying insurance for my grandchildren—and liking it.

Who's next? We've got to make this juvenile insurance drive a real issue.

Okay, brothers, let's hear someone else.

The Strength of the S. P. J. S. T.

Strana 20

Annual, Barbee- Day At Seaton The energetic chairman of Lodge Hvezda Texasu (Star of Texas) No. 47, Brother Theodore Dana, had been after me ever since he saw my film of the Star of Texas Hall shown at the SPJST Convention in Fort Worth. He knew that the bare picture of the hall without the members was a dead film—and I knew it as well. To lessen his disappointment, I agreed to come and do a better job.

The annual barbecue held on July 10 gave me the opportunity to visit Lodge No. 47 and to stay with the members the whole afternoon. And it was a very enjoyable occasion to shake hands with many, many old friends, and also meeting many new acquaintances.

Not being certain of receiving a report from someone else, I mention briefly the happy gathering. The Supreme Lodge was represented by Brothers Marek, Svadlenak, and Kacir. Editor Moucka was the main speaker. Several officers of the R. V. 0. S. (Farmers' Mutual) were introduced and each one of them delivered a short, appropriate talk. Brother Cerveny, of Munday, and Brother Domorad, of Palacios, were presented as the visitors who made the longest trip to get there.

Luckily, the speeches were made short, timely, and impressive. The audience enjoyed every one of them. As a novelty —the first of its kind to my knowledge— all the speeches were wire-recorded and can be reproduced at any time in the future. Some of the speakers, when told afterwards of the recording, showed a sheepish grin about the historical value of their talks, but—just the same—it had been done.

Not quite one hour of speech-making by eight speakers, and then the filming of the lodge officers, charter members, and members and the visitors in general.

The climax of the day was a Beseda dance which started at 4:30 p. m. Since I happened to be so intensely absorbed in the filming of the dance, it is almost impossible to say much about the general effect of the Beseda dance on the audience. Probably my movie camera will tell me more when the colored film is developed. However, I shall return to this topic, because there are many interesting aspects connected with it.

The Temple Czech Band performed splendidly to furnish good music throughout the whole afternoon and also during the evening entertainment.

Lodge Hvezda Texasu can proudly look back upon the day of this annual picnic

VESTNIR— WEST. TEXAS as a highly successful day of enjoyment.1 It was a very friendly gathering, mutual- ! ly agreeable, and wholesomely happy.

Other SPJST lodges can rightfully recognize Lodge No. 47 as one of the leading lodges in the powerful SPJST family. The acquisition of additional land by Lodge Hvezda Texasu and the conversion of it into a well-kept, wooded park, proves progressiveness of the members and capable management of the officers and committees.

Brothers, you really deserve congratulations for your display of the spirit of Brotherhood. ) *4•( FORT WORTH'S VISITORS AT SEATON A group of visitors deserve to be specially mentioned in connection with the Sunday program at Seaton: Brother Bob Easley and his Beseda dancers from Fort Worth. I have been expecting a few lines from Brother Easley to give our readers a more complete report, but his letter has not arrived up to this time.

Consequently, only a brief mention is being made now of the magnificent display of co-operation on the part of the members from Fort Worth, presumably members of Lodge 92, Lodge 154, and the Sokol, who came all the way from Fort Worth to join Brother Walter Jakubec and his Bese,da dancers, and thus to add spirit and gaiety to the program of Lodge No. 47. Maybe Brother Easley, of Fort Worth, will give us the list of his co-workers and a few points of additional information. Don't overlook it, Brother Bob. ) • 4

So far this is the only lady of Czech descent which I had a chance to use for my documentary filming. I need more, and different style of work. There is bound to be a Czech farm, somewhere in Texas, where I could L go hunting with my movie camera, and to catch something worth while for those who come after us.

At this time of the year, I would gladly make a trip to get a picture of some 200-300 jars of home canning of vegetables, fruits, etc. Any woman has a right to be proud of her collection of canned foods. If taken with a colored camera, the picture will tell more than a thousand-word story. It would show not only the collection, but it would be the picture-story of the thrift of our people, the habit of providing for lean days, and satisfaction produced by such achievement.

Nov is the time. If you know, will you let me know? Drop a line to Associate Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston 7, Texas. ) THE NEW FIRST LADY OF TEXAS If the report of the Associated Press is correct, the new First Lady of Texas, pretty brunette Mrs. Marialice Shivers, is of the Czech descent.

This is only a deduction based purely on the report made by the Associated Press covering the inaugural ceremony of our new Texas governor. The report stated that Mrs. Shivers mother, who is Mrs. John Shary, of Sharyland, was also present at the inaugural ceremony held Saturday, July 16, at Magnolia Hills, the 103-year-old homestead of Shivers, near Woodville, some sixty miles north of Beaumont, Texas.

For the information of the Vestnik readers, the late John Shary came to Texas at the beginning of development of the magic Rio Grande Valley, cleared several hundred acres of land east of Mission, was instrumental in developing and promoting a new variety of grapefruit, pink in color, and finally built a magnificent palatial residence on his property, calling it Sharyland. Mrs. Marialice Shivers apparently is the daughter of the late John Shary, a Czech pioneer of the Rio Grande Valley. ) 4 ( How much happier we would have been during summer evenings if Noah had stepped on the male mosquito before he let him out of the ark.

Here is something personal, but not in the sense of personal gain. I am trying to get some information.

Two years ago, while in Guatemala, Central America, I got interested in taking colored movies. I had spent free time and money, too, trying to get pictures of some of the native Indians in that mountainous republic.

When back in the States, under the influence of the courses in sociology, I decided to film the various lodges and their activities. I still continue doing it.

However, there is much more to be done to collect valuable material for documentary filming. There is much of the everyday life of our Czech people to be preserved. There are the old timers still living. Only recently, I was lucky It takes hundreds of nuts to hold a to persuade Mrs. Dvorak, of Iowa Colony, car together, but it takes only one nut mother of Mrs. Frances Olexa, of Hous- to scatter the car all over the highway.

A Father Remembers It's queer, the things you remember when life has crumbled suddenly and left you standing there, alone. It's not the big, important things: not the plans of years or the hopes you've worked so hard for. It's the little things you hadn't noticed at the time: the way a hand touched yours, and you too busy to notice; the hopeful little inflection of a voice you didn't really bother to listen to . . . .

John Carmondy found that out, staring through the living-room window at the cheerful life of the street. He kept trying to think about the big important things; but he couldn't quite get them focused sharply in his mind. All he could remember now was something his little girl had said to him one evening, perhaps three weeks ago.

That particular night he had brought home from the office the finished draft of the annual stockholders' report..

Things being as they were, the report meant a great deal to his future, to the future of his wife and his little girl. He sat down to re-read it before dinner. He had to be sure it was right; it meant so much.

Just as he turned a page, Marge, his little girl, came with a book under her arm and said, "Look, Daddy."

He glanced up and said, "A new book, eh? That's fine."

"Yes, Daddy. Will you read me a story in it?"

"No, dear. Not just now," he said.

Marge just stood there, and he read through a paragraph telling the stockholders about certain replacements in the machinery of the factory. And Marge's voice, with timid, hopeful little inflections, was saying: "But Mummy said you would, Daddy."

He looked over the top of the typescript. "I'm sorry, Marge. Maybe Mummy will read it to you. I'm busy now, dear."

"No," Marge said politely, "Mummy is much busier upstairs. Won't you read me just this one story? Look—hasn't it a lovely picture, Daddy?"

"Oh, yes. Beautiful," he said. "But I have to work tonight. Some other time."

Marge stood there, with the book open at the picture. It was a long time before she said anything else. He read through two more pagese explaining in full detail the shift in markets over the past 12 months, the plans outlined by the sales department for meeting these problems, and the advertising program which had been devised to increase the demand for their products.

"But it is a lovely picture, Daddy, and the story looks so exciting," Marge said.

Vt STNi IC WEST, rExAs

"I know," he said. "Some other time.

Run along now."

"Will you, some other time, Daddy?"

"Of course," he said. "You bet."

She put the book down on the stool at his feet and said, "Well, whenever you get ready, just read it to yourself. Only read it loud enough so I can hear, too."

"Sure," he said. "Sure. Later."

That was what John Carmody was remembering now—the way a well-mannered child had touched his hand with timid little fingers and said, "Read it loud enough so I can hear, too." And that was why, now, he put his hand on the book and took it from the table where they had piled some of Marge's playthings, picking them up from the floor where she had left them. He opened it to the lovely picture.

Rea p in g that story, his lips moving stiffly with anguish to form the words, he didn't try to think any more; and for a little while he even forgot the horror and bitterness of his hate for the halfdrunken driver who had careened down the street in a second-hand car—and who was now in jail on manslaughter charges. He didn't even see his wife, white and silent, dressed for Marge's funeral, standing in the doorway, trying to make her voice say calmly: "I'm ready, dear. We must go."

Because John Carmody was reading: "Once upon a time there , was a little girl who lived in a woodcutter's hut, in the Black Forest. And she was so fair that the birds forgot their singing from the bough, looking at her. And there came a day when ... " He was reading it to himself. But loud enough for her to hear, too. Maybe.

Ceramic Material Abundant in South Texas ®.

An interesting report revealing the wealth of ceramic materials in South Texas and other areas of the state was made recently in Chicago when Dr. F. K. Pence of the University of Texas Research Laboratory in Ceramics addressed the American Ceramics Society meeting there. Disclosing some of the laboratory's recent findings, Dr. Pence asserted that the state of Texas contains large natural deposits of all sorts of ceramic raw material, much of it equal and some of it superior to the best materials found elsewhere.

Some of its potentialities are immediately apparent, he pointed out, but

Ve stfedu, dne 20. CerVenee 1949. ultimate development of its possibilities will require- continued laboratory research and field work. Because oil and gas production is so equitably distributed throughout the state an industrial fuel source would be available almost anywhere that valuable ceramic raw materials are found.

Pence's report was based upon geological data which show that the strata of various ages containing the valuable deposits are exposed in fairly regular bands extending across the state of Texas from southwest to northeast. One of the most outstanding of these is the Wilcox strata, extending from south of San Antonio to Texarkana, which contains a variety of clay materials with infinite possibilities. This group of formations is "believed to be of utmost value as a source of buff to white burning plastic clays and kaolins," Pence said.

For this reason the Research Laboratory has recently undertaken a comprehensive program of the investigation of clay deposits in the Wilcox group of formations.

While there is current production of heavy play products and buff colored building tile from deposits in the Wilcox formation, preliminary investigations indicate that the deposits will prove to be a valuable source of raw materials for porcelain and white firing ceramics products in general, Dr. Pence disclosed.

These raw materials will include "plastic play of ball clay quality" which is used in pottery making. There are also extensive deposits of "semi-plastic kaolins and silica sands," he said, and indications are that the extent of these deposits is quite adequate. Further studies •on mining and processing will make these clays available to the porcelain industry which is now in the beginning stake in South Texas. Pence, asserted that studies along these lines "hold potentially amazing findings," especially with respect to the "production of fine grade china and similar ware." ) • 4. • There is only one thing a wife will admit she doesn't know, and that is, why she married her husband. )•4 • Don't expect everybody to agree with you; variety of opinion is what makes the world interesting.

Don't Acquire This Habit.

000

The only way to make optically perfect glass is by grinding and polishing, which is expensive. And the great majority of the 20.000,000 pairs of sunglasses sold yearly retail at less than $1. At this price they cannot be properly made.

They may contain bubbles, specks or scratches.

The Better Vision Institute, testing cheap sunglasses on normal eyes, found some which distorted vision as drastically as the average glasses prescribed for defective eyesight. A single pair may have a minus power in one eye and a plus power in the other.

According to a report prepared for the Bure'au of Standards, many of the cheaper sunglasses keep out no more sun glare than ordinary window glass. More oculists object to blue than to any other tint. Bright yellow glasses sharpen eyesight by eliminating blue haze, but many cause headaches when worn for long.

After elaborate tests, the U. S. Army and Navy have chosen sunglasses of soft green.

While inferior sunglasses do no permanent harm, the effort of the eyes to accommodate themselves to even small distortions may result in eyestrain, headaches, and inflamed lids. So experts advise you to buy only accurately ground sunglasses from reputable opticians.

Above all avoid the ten-cent junk and flat lenses which cause distortion when the eyes look to the side. And don't wear them at all unless you must—they can very easily become a habit. )• 4

Wishing to be an Ambassador?

When in Guatemala the year before last, I was trying to locate my mail. It was not at the consulate, but I was informed that I could get it at the American Embassy.

I . visited other foreign embassies in Washington, D. C., but this was the first American Embassy in a foreign land. I always wished to know how our diplomatic representatives abroad lived and were provided for. I always had been told that no one excepting a very wealthy man could afford to be an ambassador or a minister from the United States.

Not being exactly sure of the best approach, I used a rather flimsy excuse to meet the American Ambassador. To the clerk, a native "Guatemaltecan who acted as receptionist, I explained my wish to

take a movie film of His Excellency, the Ambassador Kyle. It worked. I• got the movie, and I had a chance to find out if it. really takes a millionaire to be able to serve as an ambassador. It does.

It was a beautiful mansion, one part of it being used for offices, and the remainder of it as a residence. I don't remember if the building is the property of the United States or just leased to accommodate an ambassador. But the equipment, fixtures, and furniture were partly the property of the ambassador, partly the property of the United States.

Though the mansion was more like a private residence of a millionaire, the atmosphere was that of a semi-public building.

The lusters were imported from Czechoslovakia, expensive rugs from somewhere else; porcelain, vases, and statuettes likewise imported, the paintings were citizens gifts—whether to the U. S. Government or the Ambassador Kyle I didn't ask—or personal property of the Ambassador. One painting .alone, named "El Palacios de los Capitanes Generales," showing the ruins of the fineset piece of palatial construction in Guatemala during the eighteenth century, covered filITIOSt completely one wail of the reception room, and it must have been priceless. It was the Ambassador's personal property.

Why do I mention these things?

For the simple reason that the U. S. Senate had a long debate in the early part of June whether or not to apprAe twenty million dollars for the expenses of our representatives, ministers, and ambassadors abroad. This in addition where ambassadors, in many instances, have to furnish the embassies themselves.

Contrary to the customs of other nations, our ambassadors are compelled to maintain their own households, and to acquire, either by rent or by purchase, their own houses. Thus; if an ambassador employes his own servants and has a residence costing two or three millions of dollars, it means that only a millionaire could be an ambassador.

Congress has really considered an item of 240 millions of dollars to be spent to provide proper homes and surroundings for our ambassadors before 1953. Our embassy in Russia is figured to cost 10 million; Italy, 20 million.

Senator Langer strongly objected. "Let us take Italy as an example," he said.

"When the war was over we had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of trucks and other war equipment in Italy, which we sold for one cent on the dollar —1 cent. It was sold by the Foreign Division of the War Assets Corporation.

If a nobleman in Italy, who has political

Straw. 23

pull over there, owns a castle, he may sell it possibly for the $20,000,000 that is appropriated by the Congress of the United States, together with the equipment and the furniture, or whatever there is in the castle—and if that is not enough Congress will appropriate more.

Then later some millionaire will be appointed from this country, one who can afford to have servants enough to run such a place."

Senator Langer went on to state further: "I very • respectfully wish to say that as one Senator I thoroughly disagree with the proposition that we should spend $20,000,000 in Italy to buy an embassy, and then must appoint as ambassador some one who has a sufficient amount of money so he can maintain the necessary number of servants and other help, in order to do a considerable amount of entertaining. The Senator says that is something which has been done for centuries. During the two world wars in which we were engaged we have heard a great deal about America being a democracy. It has been said that we are endeavoring to establish something brand new in other countries.

Yet if this program of the Department of State is carried out it will mean that we are not only following what has been done for centuries, but indeed are elaborating on it.

"Many of the ambassadors we are sending abroad are men of great wealth.

I have fought the confirmation of some of them on this floor. One of those appointed to be ambassador to a foreign country was the head of a dairy trust, which bought up 300 dairies. That organization raised the price of milk and ice cream all over the country. I voted against the confirmation of that appointment. I cannot believe that it would be necessary to appoint a man of that kind, a man who had made so vast a fortune as he had made, ambassador to a foreign country, simply because he could afford to accept such a post."

Are you still wishing to be an ambassador? Perhaps one of the old palaces of Europe may be bought, some of them at 10 cents on the dollar. ) • STS • "There you are, my dear," the bride announced, "My first turkey." She proudly placed the steaming bird on the table.

Oklahoma-Our Neighbor. . .

The official state guidebook says that the outline of Oklahoma is that of a "butcher's cleaver." As a matter of fact, Oklahoma looks like an index fist (itgri) that arbitrary sign which printers use to mark items worthy of special note: Only the finger of Oklahoma points in the other direction, a contradiction which fits into the general scheme of Oklahoma.

A hundred years ago Oklahoma was turned into a vast concentration camp for Red Indians because it was such worthless land. Fifty years ago, white people from every State in the Union swarmed in to dispossess the banished Indians, because Oklahoma was such valuable land.

Politically, Oklahoma is fickle. Just when Democratic candidates are counting on it most strongly, it goes Republican. Once it polled more Socialist votes than any other State except Wisconsin.

Nowadays it is almost as reactionary as Mississippi. For example, it is a criminal offense in Oklahoma to have a copy of Karl Marx's Das Kapital in one's library, and anyone suspected of possessing seditiou,s literature is liable to search, seizure and arrest.

Oklahomans are an irascible, humorless breed, Set wild by the mildest criticism. Contradictory to this, Oklahomans have a peculiar wit, and the late Will Rogers is a popular prototype.

Their peculiar turn of humor can be seen in their proud adoption of the nickname "Sooner." The current edition of Webster's Dictionary defines a sooner as "one who settles on government land before it is legally open to settlement; hence, one who does a thing prematurely or anticipates another in acting, in order to get an unfair advantage." In other words, a kind of sneaking crook.

Oklahoma's official state guidebook points out that "for a long time the term sooner was one of reproach, but with the passing of years the word began to lose its original connotations. As its origin was gradually forgotten, it eventually came to mean merely one who is alert, ambitious, and enterprising, or one who gets up earlier than others."

Thus it might appear that Oklahoma is populated with people who scarcely go to bed at all, so eager is everyone to get up earlier than the other fellow. This is hardly true. Although Oklahoma is one of the wealthiest State in the. Union, at the same time it is one of the most poverty-stricken. Although education is a fetish in Oklahoma, its illiteracy rating

VESTNIX— WEST, TEXAS

is twice that of the national average.

Each of these statements shows, like an index finger pointed the wrong way, that Oklahoma can be a controversial subject.

Today, one of the most popular shows in New York is a musical play called , Oklahoma! As everyone knows, this has I been crowding theatres there and elsewhere for years. Some optimists say that it will go on forever. Oklahoma! is an authentic portrayal of rural manners and speech lingering in Oklahoma to this day, even though the time is tactfully set as just before statehood, some 40 years ago.

Believe it or not, there was a movement to have the legislature adopt the finale of Oklahoma! as the official state anthem. The former Governor of Oklahome, now U. S. Senator Robert S. Kerr —a large man who holds the distinction of being the first native-born Oklahoman ever elected to that high office, not to mention his having escaped impeachment proceeding which have routed several predecessors boasts that he has "gone to see Oklahoma! about umpteen times."

This is given as proof of how quickly attitudes may change in Oklahoma. Attitudes in Oklahoma are almost as unpredictable as the weather. And Oklahoma is a place where a man comes home in the evening with a fringe of icicles on his straw hat.

When Cimarron, Edna Ferber's widely read novel about the State, was published, "Oklahoma read the book," according to the author. and "stood up on its hind legs and howled."

In Oklahoma, oddly enough for a place populated with failures, nothing succeeds like success. When Miss Ferber's novel had sold a quarter of a million copies and had been made into a highly successful motion picture, she was startled to find that she had suddenly become Oklahoma's darling.

Oklahoma has other contradictions.

It is difficult to make clear the peculiar social status Indians enjoy in Oklahoma today. Often the most refined white girl there feels that she has made a lucky catch if she can win a man with Indian blood, and there are Oklahomans of pure "Aryan" ancestry who like to boast that they have "a sixteenth Cherokee." This is all the more confusing when it is observed that Oklahoma draws a strict color line against the Negro.

It should not be assumed that wealth is all that makes Indians matrimonially attractive to white people. The riches of the Oklahoma Indians have been greatly exaggerated by inspired news stories, which seek to show how generous the white invader has been towards the In-

Ve sticedu, dne 20. 6ervence 1949. dians, and how foolishly the Indians make use of their money.

Actually, many of the Indians in Oklahoma, perhaps the majority, are desperately poor. It is true that as recently as 1926 the Osage tribe, niumbering about 3,000 head, enjoyed an income of $22,000,000, which they divided under a communal system. But even the income of this tribe, once said to be the wealthiest people per capita in the world, has been reduced almost to the vanishing point by the outrageous exploitation and waste of the mineral wealth beneath their land.

The word Oklahoma is a combination of two Choctaw Indian words, "okla" and "homa," meaning red people. Choctaw name for whiskey is "oka-homa," which really means red water. Either one or the other would equally be applicable to the State—even though Oklahoma is one of the few States" in the Union that have enjoyed state-wide prohibition of the sale and manufacturing of intoxicating liquors.

There is a considerable traffic in drinks, just the same. The word "bootlegging" and the profession going under the name was invented in Oklahoma.

Manufacturing of "oka-homa" flourishes.

One of the local products, a distillation of about 150 proof, pure white—not "red water" — is euphemistically called "panther sweat." )• •( Andrew Jackson, seventh President 'of the United States, had been living with his wife Rachel for two years when they learned that her divorce from her first husband was not valid. A proper decree was obtained, and they remarried at once. Then he got out a pair of pistols, cleaned and oiled them, and put them in condition to use upon the first man who made a slighting remark about his wife.

Those pistols were kept ready for instant use for 37 years: At least twice they were used. The first time no one was hurt except a bystander, presumably innocent, and he not badly. But the second offender died. Thereafter, people eschewed reference to adultery when Andrew Jackson was within earshot. ) 4 The hand that rocks the cradle may yet rule the nation.

Monkeying With The Mail Nemesis of the rare crooked postal employe is "the guy in the coop." The coop is the peep-slotted gallery suspended from the ceiling of large post offices from which inspectors can watch every nook and corner of the floor below. There are five miles of coop in the new Chicago post office.

Nobody on the floor knows when he is being watched. Inspectors do not waste time lurking continuously behind the peep-slots on the .0009 chance of spotting a thief. They haunt the coop only when they are complaints of lost mail.

Several years ago Houston businessmen reported that letters containing money were failing to arrive. Inspectors took up their unseen vigil and finally saw a sorter surreptitiously pocket two letters. No arrest was made, because the accused clerk might say, "Somebody planted the letters on me." Inspectors have to make an air-tight case. Hence they used a test letter containing marked money and routed it through the mail into the thief's hands.

I was working in the Houston post office at the time. One night an inspector appeared suddenly and beckoned to a clerk whom I shall call "Jim Patterson." Jim turned white, swallowed hard, and moved toward the inspector. Another clerk, Frank Moore, was also asked to step out into the aisle.

"Patterson, give that letter in your pocket to Moore," the inspector ordered.

Paterson fished out the letter and offered it to the inspector. "No, give it to Moore!" repeated the officer. Patterson obeyed. "No'w, will you both step up to my office?"

Keeping his distance from the thief, the inspector trailed both clerks to his office, where another inspector and witness waited. The inspector first identified the test letter by naming the sender and addressee. Then Moore opened it, and the marked bills were verified by the witnessed. The arresting officer never came near the accused, never touched the stolen letter. No possibility of a frame-up here; no loophole to wriggle through.. Cases prepared like this give postal inspectors a record of 98 percent convictions. "Monkeying with the mails" cost Patterson his citizenship rights and a year and a day in the penitentiary.

Expert mail tlteves develop supersensitive fingertips which can single out of thousands of letters the bulky few containing money. "Candling"—quickly flicking a letter against a strong light-

VES TNIX— WEST, TEXAS is another trick used to spot greenbacks. Some thieves can pick out money letters by smell. The address, however, is the first clue—obviously the place to look for cash is in mail en route to business houses.

Postal depredators often become specialists.. "Long-haul artists" steal only cross-continental mail, hoping to go undetected because such mail passes through so many hands. Others steal only mail addressed to charitable organizations. Chicago mail bundled for New York and misrouted on a train for New Orleans makes a tempting morsel for the "missent specialist," who figures that the loss cannot be traced to him. "Missent" test letters catch these gentry.

The mail thief knows about test letters and employs counter-stratagems.

One crook addressed a letter to himself, which in due time came to his sortingcase. He flicked the letter against the light, slipped it into his pocket, and hurried away as if to hide it. If an inspector grabbed him he could say: "This is my own letter." If not, he knew the coop was empty and he could steal freely.

But one day as he hurried from the floor with some stolen letters, after first "stealing" his own decoy safely, an inspector nabbed him. The thief blurted out: "Why didn't you grab me when you saw me steal that first letter?" The inspector retorted: "I knew if you'd steal that first letter, you'd steal more, so I waited. And don't give yourself any credit for inventing that trick. Better men than you have gone to prison trying to pull that one."

Inspectors in one office were puzzled by the thefts which occurred only when the coop was empty. Obviously the thief had a secret method of ascertaining when an inspector was on guard.

Finally they found a toothpick wedged in the doorjamb leading to the gallery.

An inspector entered the gallery, another one replaced the toothpick. Soon a clerk came into the corridor and examined the doorjamb. Satisfied that no watcher could be in the gallery, he later got a sickening surprise when the gentle tap that meant "penitentiary" fell on his shoulder.

Especially baffling are train thefts, because suspects cannot be kept under secret observation. Last year thieves were rifling shipments from locked cars on a Wisconsin train which carried on passengers. Inspectors thus had no excuse for getting aboard without creating suspicion.

One night there was a coffin among the packages in the combination mail and baggage car. As the train roared on, a man stealthily entered the car. When

Strana 25 he began opening mailbags and picking out expensive parcels the lid of the coffin flew open and a very-much-alive postal inspector leaped out. The culprit was a brakeman. Three other trainmen and an express messenger were arrested later and sentenced to prison terms.

There are snares for crooks in smalltown post offices, too. Several West Point cadets reported recently that pocket money expected by mail had not been received. Inspectors sent the cadets decoy letters, enclosing bills marked with anthracene, an invisible powder luminescent only under ultraviolet rays. When none of the test letters arrived, inspectors turned a portable ultraviolet-ray lamp on the personal belongings of post office employes. A stamp-box used by a woman clerk glowed with guilt. So did her gloves and pocketbook next day.

The postal inspectors must also protect a yearly volume of 25,000,000,000 pieces of mail against professional letterbox thieves, who steal relief, dividend, and other checks from apartment-house and rural letter boxes. Inspector Thomas Rowan of Chicago catches 250 such operators a year. On the first and sixteenth of the month the mails teem with checks, and letter-box thieves are out in full force trailing the mail carriers.

And trailing the thieves are Rowan's men.

There are 615 inspectors, all former postal clerks or letter carriers who have passed a rigorous civil service examination and demonstrated good judgment, tact, resourcefulness and initiative. They have proved that honesty is the bright badge worn by 99.91 percent of Uncle Sam's 275,000 mail handlers. Of every million pieces of mail less than six are stolen, mostly by outsiders. Only about 250 postal employes each year make the mistake of thinking they can pilfer and get away with it. They never can, for long; inevitably a postal inspector catches them. The inspectors spend their lives demonstrating—for the benefit of those few who doubt it—that "monkeying with the mail is a fool's racket!" ) • gt• • (.

pointed when your article does not appear the next week, As to the second rule, you can ceoperate and observe' it, even if you don't have a typewriter and cannot send in your manuscript typewritten and double-spaced. You can always use not small stationery, but the regular sheet, 8 1/2 by 11, with plenty margins on both sides, and plenty space between the lines, if unruled. Give the editor some room to make marginal notations for the printer, or to print the names which might be puzzling to the linotype operator.

But, after all, your A. E. is glad to receive your contributions in any shape on any kind of paper, even if it requires rewriting on a typewriter, if only it is something that would interest our SPJST members. )•

Floyer's invention came as a result of dissatisfaction with the common watches and pendulum clocks then in vogue. He was one of the most original physicians of his time. The ordinary watch used in his time had a single hand only. It recorded the hours, but not minutes or seconds. He invented the "Physician's Pulse Watch" which ran only for one minute, and which was the forerunner of the second-hand on all modern watches. ( )• A SURE CURE FOR SICKNESS It is astonishing what a change in thinking will do for a person who is enslaved by illness. There is the example of the woman who was dying. She had brought up a clever orphan girl, She called this girl to her bedside and said: "I shall soon leave my little children motherless. They know you and love you and after I 4am gone I want you and my husband to marry."

The young woman, bursting into tears, said, "We were just talking about that:" The wife recovered. ) 7a

There are two simple rules for those who wish to write and contribute to the English Section of the Vestnik: give yourself time and allow yourself plenty paper.

On account of technical requirements, most of the material for the English Section should be in the hands of the linotype operator two weeks before the date of publication. This is necessary as a safety measure to prevent delay by many accidental and unforeseen causes.

Consequently, when you, dear reader, receive your copy of the Vestnik this week, the English part of the next issue is ready, the proofreading is finished, and new material for the issue two weeks from now is on its way to the printer.

Your contributions, if mailed the first part of the week, have a good chance to ONE-BUCK VIDEO be included in the next issue.
