Since the South Slav people united in a state of their own they have gone ahead faster than ever before. This is first of all evident in the larger cities. It may be said that this country has five capitals, which are the economic and cultural centers of the chief racial groups, and prac ticlly all of them have grown re markably during recent years. The chief one, Belgrade, has been com pletely transformed. It has new, wide, straight, well-paved streets, beautiful parks and a very large number of fine, new buildings. Sko plje, too, the chief city in Macedonia, has been largely rebuilt, and though an old and famous place, is more im posing and attractive than ever be fore in its history. Zagreb, the prin cipal city of the Croatians, is also greatly enlarged and filled with very substantial and excellent modern buildings. Electric light is being installed in a large number o places. New water systems are continually being creat ed. The improvement in hygenic con ditions is one of the most remark able changes that has taken place in southeast Europe since the war. There has been a striking advance in methods of communications. Not only have a commendable number of new railroads been built, but a whole network of automobile roads has been constructed. Every visitor also is struck by the large number of new factories which he find3 in all ports of the country. A whole system of athletic parks has been created. Homes for rest and rec reation have been placed In many a beautiful mountainous district. All this is not the work of the dic tatorship. It has not been acom plisbed in one year. It represents the fruits of the toil -of the people through a whole decade. The dicta torship, however, has pushed all these projects with much vigor. At the end of the war the Serbs and some of the other south Slavs found very vital age-old dreams realized. They were all freed and united and they set out to make their rich fatherland a good place to live in. And their efforts have not been in vain. This pride of achievement has also" been morally expressed, and there is an effort being made to strengthen discipline. Many scholarships are given to promising poor students. Chambers of Labor have brought some help to the workers. The tem perance crusade is growing. The youth were never so well organized. Measures for the restriction of vice are rigorously applied. The move ment against illiteracy is bearing fruit. - STATE CHEMIST TELLS OF TESTING LIQUORS Lincoln, Neb., April 16. Students of experience are Nebraska makers of illicit liquor, relates Lee J. Cram er, state chemist, who tells of a de cided change in the quality of the hooch of today and that of five years ago. Necessity, Cramer believes, is the motivating factor that has wrought a drastic change in these illicit methods and in the product. Within the past year, Cramer says, bootleg whisky tested in his labor atory, has been unusually free from poisonous substances, though in many instances hydrochloric acid and even l3'e has been used in the process of fermentation. High acidity, however, is almost definite assurance that stomach com plications, particularly ulcers, will affict the constant user of any boot leg liquor, Cramer believes. From the standard of testing qual ity disclosed in sample after sample, the state chemist is led to believe the bulk of Nebraska consumed hooch is the product of the larger distil leries. Most of the beer tested by the state chemist contains between 6 anil 8 per cent alcohol, considerably over the content of the beer of the pre Volstead era. Some is as high as 11 per cent. GERMAN GOVERNMENT WINS Berlin The government of Chan cellor Heinrich Bruening Monday carried its financial program against bitter opposition. The votes were close In most instances, the govern ment getting a majority of only four on the turnover tax and only six on the sugar tax bill. The agrarian program, which has developed much opposition heretofore, carried on the third and final reading by a vote of 250 to 204. Another argument for retaining Muscle Shoals is that .th American Cynamld Co.. spent $168,706-inef-forts to lease It from the Govern ment. That's what one private com pany thinks of it. ' TALE OF UPRISING DENIED Managua, Nicaragua Both Amer ican and Nicaraguan officials Wed nesday denied with emphasis a re port published Tuesday in the news paper El Sol at Tegucigalpa, Hon duras, to the effect that a revolu tionary movement was in progress in this country. They said there was no foundation for the report. The rumors had it that general Pedro Altmlrano had taken control of the departments of Jinotega and Segovias and was threatening Mata galpa. But American marines and national guard commanders asserted their reports from the numerous southposts scattered in that north ern sector of Nicaragua said that ev erything was quiet Wednesday. There are thirteen marine posts in that region and there is continuous radio and plane communication with the capital. NOTICE In the District Court of Cass, County, Nebraska Nellie V.

The collection includes birds which have seen within a 50-mile radius of Chicago during the last 7.1 years, according to Alfred M. Bailey, direc tor of the academy. "Being on Lake Michigan and al.-o in the Mississippi Valley, the Chicago area is in the heart of a wonderful bird country," Mr. Bailey said. "From the sand dunes along the lake shore southeast of Chicago we get the piping plover, Bandplpers, and sea gulls during migration. From the marshy regions west of Chicago come the red-wing blackbirds, rail:!, k-ast bitterns, coots, grebes and American bitterns. The year-round residents in clude cardinals, blue jays, crows, horned owls, and screech owls. "The robins, wrens and bluebirds are our steady summer residents. The winter visitors coming down from the colder climates are the pine gros beaks, evening grosbeaks, crorsbill.s, longspurs, snowfiakes, and several species of water birds. A host of tiny warblers which stop only a few weeks during migration give us but a short acquaintance with their song and plumage." A series of lectures on these birds especially adapted for school child ren, many of whom have had no op portunity to see the birds in their natural habitat, is given at the aca demy. After observing the specimen, the children are taken to a classroom where the same birds are shown in life by means cf motion pictures. The academy, which was founded in 1S57. has developed a unique methnd nf pxhihitinsr its croups of animal and bird life. Instead of pain inir the back wall of the exhibit to give color and atmosphere to the group, the academy uses huge photc graphs of scenes actually taken in th region where the specimens were ofund. The photographs taken on SxlO-in. plates, and later enlarged are joined in sections to form a pan oramie background sometimes meas uring 95 feet in length. The foilage of trees and flowers of the lore erround is made of wax and celluloid One very effective exhibit consists of an immense photographs of th inHiana firirul dune recrions with the hlue watera -of-LakeMichigan in th distance. The characteristic growth of flowers and bushes in the fore ground makes a natural setting for the box tortoises, white-footed mice and water birds coming from the mnrshv areas between the dunes To present the wooded region west of Chicago, a photograph of the old hickory, oak and ash trees looms up behind the foreground of crab tre and undergrowth of bushes, throug h which roam the Virginia deer, now no lone-er seen in Illinois, the woo chucks, nararie wolves, or coyotes once so plentiful and now found only occasionally near Chicago, and the hpavpr. now extinct in this locality. As the visitor to the academy looks into the cases and then glances be vond to the nhotocranh in the back ground, he can hardly tell where the little stage setting finishes ana the nhotocraDh beirins. so unified are they.
