with respect to population gives Miss
Lombard encouragement. This shows
that the District of Columbia ranks
first. with California second, Nevada
third. New Hampshire fourth, Wyo-
ming fifth, Oregon sixth, Vermont
seventh and Washington State eighth.
Most of these stand high because of
a sparse population, but Oregon and
Washington both have very active
State library commissions. In Cali
fornia the standing is high because
of the attention the people pay to
higher education, and because the
State has a very active county Ii
brary system. Massachusetts ranks
ninth. even in spite of a large for
eiSn population, because there is a
library in every town and the State
has a noted educational system.
Only last week Miss Lombard had
an experience that well illustrates
what she is doing. Seventy-six boys

School Materials

With the schools just opening Un-
Gle Sam is forehanded to help the
teachers. All publications and other
material from all the federal depart
ments that might be of use to teach
ers have for the first time been put
together in a catalogue by the United
States Bureau of Education.
This material includes periodicals,
maps, charts, mounted exhibits. mod
els, stereopticon slides and moving
picture films, reading courses and
considerable other matter.
BY thus having listed by sources
this wealth of material readily avail
able throughout the federal depart
ments, the educational world will
benefit greatly. because few educa-
tors now know that this material is
prepared for their use, nor do they
know where to apply for it.
The catalogue, which will be dis

is freely ILLUSTRATED, so as to visualize

to Australia and from Peking to New
York, watching antics of American
comedians. the daredevil exploits of

queens and heroes. What is more, in
the opinion of Marcus Loew, one of
the half dozen men who predominate
the American moving picture indus
try, Americas movie realm grows
wider day by day and there is not the
slightest prospect of her supremacy
being even threatened.
Ninety per cent of all the films be-
ing shown in Europe today are Amer
ican in origin and this perce ntage is
even greater in such countries as
Australia. Japan, China and South
Africa. where native product is
virtually nil.
What Is the Secret.
asked Mr.. LoeW what, in his opin-
.on, was the secret of the world wide
popularity of Ame rican movies and
his answer might be paraphrased by
the rather surprising statement that
American movies are popular because
they are un-American.
France, England. Italy and Ger
many challenged us in turn in the
early days said Mr.. Loew. Each
of them lost the fight because each
persisted in thinking in terms Of it's
home market. France was the pio-
| neer. but her producers persisted in
making pictures which were so en-
tirely French that they had little ap-
peal outside of their own country
Inc two big French producers of
those days were Pathe and Gaumont
and today they are our agents and
French production has almost ceased.
The same thing is true of England
and other European countries where
production was attempted on any
large scale at all. American produc-
ers saw easily that if they were to
, win the foreign market they must
make pictures which would be as far
as possible free from purely national
or sectional appeal, but which would
te a story which would win sympa-
thy and understanding of men and
women of any race"
How about the wild West movie 3?
Cowboys and bad men from the bad
lands are surely 100 per cent Ameri-
can and yet they are reported to be
very popular in foreign countries"
The wild West movie is popular

The Kingdom OF the Serbs. Croats
and Slovcns-The new coalition cabi-
net of the Kingdom of the Serbs,
Davidovitch. a Democrat. Apparently
it is to have the support of the strong
Croatan peasant party, headed by NJ.
Raditch, but on what precise terms
does not appear. Raditch has been
agitating for revocation of the con-
stitution, which provides for centrali-
Zation and for territorial-subdivisi on
and political organization on the
French model. He would have re-
public of federated states correspond
ing to ancient groupings: Serbia, Gro
alta, Montenegro, etc, each state to
enjoy the most liberal autonomy and
thus to preserve it's peculiar culture.
The Democrats have been much di-
vided on the issue of Capitalization
or federation. l cannot discover what
precisely is the attitude of M. Davido-
witch on this issue. but apparently he
and NJ. Raditch have agreed to work
| together for a compromise involving
| retention for the present at least of
the reigning dynasty. 1t is proposed
to hold elections in the near future
for a new Skupshtina or Parliament.
1t behooves the people of JugosIavia
to get their internal difficulties set
| tied on permanent harmonious
| basis if they are to exercise that in
fuence on general Balkan affairs,
which they aspire to exercise.
Presumably M. Pashitch, head of
tie so-called radical party (not radi-
ca at all in the usual sense of that
word, champion of Capitalization
| predecessor of NJ. Davidovitch, for
long years past the most powerful
! figure in Serbian politics, indeed one
of the ablest statesmen of Europe,
is still to be reckoned with.
Only the other day Pashitch was
for bringing Raditch to trial on the
charge of treasonable correspondence
with the Soviet Russian government.
The matter is obscure. Certainly
Raditch was in Moscow taking notes
and holding conferences with the
authorities, but apparently without
reasonable intent. His grand aim
is to save Croatia from domination by
Serbia, whose people, though superior
to the Croats in some important quail
tiles, are greatly their interiors in
