City of Belgrade
Now Picking Up
American Ways
'.'American IW on Every
Corner -Yank Moviei and
Jmi Crowing in
Popularity.
By OTIS SWIFT.
Belgrade, July I. There are
signs of the timet in lidicradr.
Americans arrivine; hrre ft one of
them as soon a tliey leava the rail
road station and f tart up the lull
toward the town. The ign it in
Serbiitn, anil looks sonirthiiiK like
AMEFHKAHCKH C,V.
It meani "American bar."
Yel. JuRo-SUvia is hccnmlnft
Americanirl. Ten yeara sro ahout
half the population of llosnia, Her
zegovina and Croatia packed their
bags and loft to make their fortune
in America.
They found high wagee in mine
and factories, but when the war broke
out they alt hastened back, some
joining the Austrian and some the
Serbian army. Peace came and
made them all Jugo-Slava, but peace
also made 25 dinars, normally worth
$5, worth exactly 30 cents. It cost
10.000 dinar to get back to America.
Hence they must stay here. But
meanwhile they are determined to
make Belgrade as much Jike Akron,
O., as possible.
Bar on Every Corner.
There is an American bar on every
corner in Belgrade. The waiter, who
like a atop for a chat about the days
when he was a bus boy in Sherrys or
Mouquins, wjjl bring you a Bronx or
a Martini for 8 dinars SO parar about
IS cents. And the bartender, who
used to mix drinks at the Vandcr
bilt, has 'not forgotten his art.
Immigration officials say that
Americanization should begin at the
aource. It is certainly effective here.
If the American visitor drops into
the Rita bar some evemnir he finds
himself right at home. The waiters
all speak American. The drinks are
all American. The Hungarian or
chestra nlays nothing but American
jair. Everyone is dancing "a la
Amerlcaine."
A Belgrade cafe may look like
omething out of a Fran Lehar
operetta. The blue Danube, wide,
dull and mud colored, flows under
the terrace. The tables are taken
by gorgeous Serb officers in red
pants, sky-blue tunics, burdened with
words and encrusted all over with
gold lace. But despite the fact that
this is the country where music is
aupnoscd to come from, they play
nothing but American hits here to
day. U. S. Movies Popular.
Belgrade, however, is a little be
hind the times. "Hindustan," "Oh,
, You Beautiful Doll." and "Has Any
body Here Seen Kelly?" have just i
ttruck the town and are going
atrong.
Except for trie cafes, the only form
of amusement in Belgrade is visiting
the American movies. Charlie Chap
lin in "A Dog's Life." is showing at
the Karzino tonight. The film is
a little bit worn, for it has been
exhibited in America, England, Ire
land, Holland, Germany, Poland,
Austria and Hunirary before arriving
here. The subtitles are all in Ser
bian now. But "Chariot" gets a
laugh every ime, and the ex-Anier-ican
Slavs are kept busy explaining
that that's the way every one acts
, in America.
Chewing gum and soda water
have both recently been discovered
by the Tugo-Slave, and are gaining
new addicts daily.
No Ford Jokes.
Furthermore, it has been discover
ed that Ford cars can, climb the
trackless Montenegrin mountains
faster than the native mules. Moun
tain climbing is a serious business
here and there are as vet no Ford
jokes extent in Jugo-Slavia.
To complete the m'cture, the 140.
000 men of Jugo-Slavia's army all
wear ex-American khaki uniforms.
Some have cut off the American
buttons and substituted buttons
vith the Jugo-Slav cresf on
them. Others have not. From the
cocky overseas caps to the poorlv
wrapped spiral puttees, a hiking regi
ment" of King Alexander's troops
looks exactly like the first mess pa
rade of a new batch of Yaphank
rookies in 1917.' ' '
Most of these neople want to go
back to America. They think
of America as home. But 10,000
dinars is 10,000 dinar?, even if it is
only $125 in the U. S. A.
Parisian cemeteries are so over
crowded as to threaten public health;
cremation has proven unpopular. The
, municipal commission studying the
problem advises the building of four
big cemeteries 15 miles out of Paris,
with railroad service to and from the
city. Scientific American.

First Test in Omaha
mJr
t3 Vi
IS1
Probably the first broadcasting
test by radio in Omaha was tried
nine months bro by Carl Hemptl
when he experimented in the trans
mission of phonograph records from
Krug park. The music was picked
up in Wichita, Kan., and in scores
of other cities that had receiving sets,
record of the experiment shows.
Buyers Request
Test of Material
Radio Equipment Should Be
Up to Standard, Says Gov
ernment Bureau.
Ever increasing public interest
in radio has added to the troubles
of department store buyers and
others handling such equipment. Be
cause of the rather technical prob
lems involved, actual and prospec
tive sellers of "ether wave" receiv
ing devices say they are tip against
it in their efforts to satisfy the trade.
Finding no information available to
use in selecting good jr rejecting
bad apparatus and fearing the loss
of established good will, appeals
have been directed to the bureau of
standards of the Department oj
Commerce to devise standard test
ing methods.
Tests Outlined.
The tests outlined include ex
amination as to the materials and
workmanship of construction, the
mechanical and electrical design,
simplicity of adjustment, ritggedness,
sensitivity, sharpness of tuning,
wave length range, and faithfulness
of reproduction in radio' telephone
reception.
The investigating committee of the
National Retail Dry Goods associa
tion has suggested that, from a com
mercial standpoint, it would be ot
assistance to their members if re
sponsible manufacturers would
mark plainly . their equipment, in
dicating the receiving radius ot eacn
instrument under every atmospheric
condition. Owing to the large num
ber of factors which enter into the
determination of the range over
which signals can be received with a
Kiven set. this is a very difficult
problem, impossible to overcome at
present by a bnet statement or marie.
Strength of signals required by a re
ceiving operator, height a,nd location
of receiving antenna, power of trans
mitting station, its location with re
spect to other stations capable of
causing interferen'ce as well as the
sensitivity of the particular receiving
set, all must be considered, accord
ing to bureau of standards experts.
SPARKS
The radiophone is displacing the
stock titkets with some of the brok
ers. The quotations over the radio
are said to be satisfactory, so far as
audibility is concerned.
One writer likens trying to
amplify with the use of a tin horn
alone, to a fellow trying to hold up
an airplane with his hands when
the engine dies.
The immense crowds who attend
the open air concerts in the big
cities, where the "soft and low"
music is lost to those on the edges
of the crowds, are looking forward
to the installation of amplifiers.
Railroad Receivership
Case Dismissed by Judge
St. Louis, -July 1. (By A. P.)
The receivership of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway company
was dissolved yesterday afternoon
when Judge Sanborn of the United
States circuit court of appeals signed
a decree authorizing the sale of the
road for not less than $28,000,000.
The decree was entered by security
Lholders.

The test was made under the aus
pices of Wright & Wilhclqiy for
the broadcasting of Pathe records
and it was ably dcmcistrated that
music could be broadcast far and
wide.
Radio and electrical magazines
gave considerable space to tins test
as it was first tried in Omaha.
WAAW
Monday
Another Omaha Bee radio concert
from the Omaha Grain Exchange
station, WAAW, tomorrow night
promises to be replete with high
class talent.
Something novel is in store for
radio audiences when they listen in
on bird calls by Rev. J. A. Savage,
pastor of the Tearl M. E. church.
Mrs. T. D. Dinan, a noted contralto
singer, will sing two classical num
bers. Miss Winifred Treynor will
entertain radio audiences listening in
on The Bee's concert with a piano
selection. Michael Flanagan, tenor
soloist, is also on The Bee's program
for a repertoire of solos.
The concert will begin sharply at
8:15.
Former Editor of Omaba
Christian Advocate Dead
Rev. John W. Shenk, former editor
of the Omaha Christian Advocate and
at one time prominent in the Ne
braska conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, died at his home
in Los Angeles, according to a wire
received here Friday nipht.
Mr. Shenk was at one time district
superintendent and for a short time
occupied a pulpit in Omaha, accord
ing to friends here.
The Christian Advocate, a Method
ist church organ .was absorbed in
1900 by the Central Christian Advo
cate at Kansas City. The following
year Mr. Shenk left for Los Angeles
where he has resided since. His son,
John W. Shenk, jr., is a judge in
California.
Denver & Salt Lake Road
Excused From Freight Cut
Washington, July 1. The Denver
& Salt Lake railroad was excused by
the interstate commerce commission
today from the necessity of putting
into effect on its lines the 10 pr cent
general cut in freight rates wfiich'aU
other railroads in the United States
made effective today. Thedecrease,
however, was in effect on practically
all of the railroads of the nation.
Receivers of the line, the commis
sion ruling indicated, found it im
possible to reduce the revenues to
the extent which the 10 per cent
cut demanded, and in addition its
line is now temporarily out of op
eration by reason of a tunnel fire
and may not be put into use before
August 1.

Rail Wage Cuts Totaling
$133,000,000 in Effect
Chicaao. July l.-(Bv A. P.)
Wage slashes, totaling $135,000,000
annually got into effect on the rail
roads of the country today. There
are approximately 1,425,000 railway
workers in the service at present, but
probably not more than 1,000,000 of
these will feel the cut in their pay
envelopes.
Three decisions ot the I mtca
States railroad labor hoard during
the last month and half form the
basis for the wage reductions. Sev
eral classes of employes, notably the
engineers, firemen, conductors and
trainmen, were not included in the
reductions and no decision has yet
been issued for one other group, the
telegraphers, and the train dispatch
ers suffered no reduction whatever.
The railway employes were not hit
as hard this year as when the board
cut the wages of all workers last
year a total of $350,000,000. The cuts
ranged from 1 to y cents an hour
for various classes of workers, whili
certain groups of semi-official and
supervisory employes escaped the
pruning knife entirely.
