arisen.
Many bills have been passed which
were more or less effective, some Of
the most prominent of these were the
Sweet bill, raising the monthly allow

The war risk insurance bureau
was put on a practical and helpful
basis.
The civil service laws were revised
giving special consideration to ex-

amount about $4,000. 900 has been
distributed among the various coun-
ties on the proportionate basis Of the
amount Of highway construction I'M

come down. Many counties are ap-
pealing to the commission for feder-
al aid but their only chance to get
a share now is through the forfeiture
Of sums already allotted by counties

.Jugo-Slav Stories

JUGO-SI.AV STORIES Translated and
edited by Pavle Popovic. Published by
Dunield & Co. 81.
TFHE distinctive qualities of a young
and vigorous literature are shown
in this anthology of Jugo-Slav stories.
Various authors and types of work are
represented, but certain common char
acteristics may be found in all the
tales. The stories are descriptive
rather tnan analytical; the authors are
observers rather than psychologists
and philosophers. Then ascertain quail
ity of literary nationalism may be dis
ccrned in the detailed and sympathetic
pictures OF Jugo-Slav manners and GUS
toms. In fact, one of the stories, Kan
josh Macedonovich,' reflects quite viv-
idly the rather strained relations which
exist between the Jugo-Slavs and the
Italians. TIE merit of the stories,
aside from their picturesque and little
known background, entities them to
wide appreciation.
