t t V i 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.

ATLANTIC 2424 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. 4 f i! . 111 iii n 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.

The evening programs proved es pecially attractive, visitors being en tertained at the registration tent by radio music sent out by the Grain Exchange broad casting station under auspices of Omaha newspapers. As the visitor stepped out of the tent he was ((reeled on the right with the sight of a narrow guaged rail road on which a I'ordson equipped with flanged wheels, whistle and brakes was pulling a dump trailer train, adequate to handle the yard transportation problems of the larg est industrial plant.

Nearby wax a booth which ap pealed immediately to the farmer's wife, as a light line shaft was in stalled, being driven by a Fordsnn and to it was belted the pump, the churn, washing machine and cream separator. In a blaze of light directly in front, Fordson boulevard invited the on looker and as he advanced he was greeted here by a Fordson sturdily operating a stonecrusher there by a rordson equipped with a steel shovel, dipping to the ground, picking up its load of dirt, rock or gravel and dumping it into the trucks and yonder by a street sweeper, its ro tary brush whirling in front of the Fordson, which furnished the propel ling power.
