RELIGION IN
 SERBIA NOW
 AT LOW EBB

BELGRADE, Oct. t3.--Relig ion has reached the lowest ebh in the history of the Serbian people There remain but four churches in Belgrade for the spir- itual comfort of 500.00O Serbs.
 Church services on Sunday are attended only by few persons. High mass is often said on Sun day to empty auditoriums. The indifference of the average Serb to church services exists but can not be defined
 Bishop Lukovitoh Dean of the Belgrade Cathedral. discussed the situation frankly with the Asso- ciated Press correspondent.
 "The State is supporting our church." he said. ''There is no such thing as public support. Whereas there are often at least five churches in towns of 10000, here in Belgrade, with a popula- tion of 500,000. four churches are too many.
 The whole population has de- serted the churches for the beaches, which breed a spirit of indeeency."

HATLESS FAD
 HITS CHECKERS

PARIS, Oct. 13.-The 'hatless Manhattan" movement has spread to Paris and once prosperous owners of hat-checking privi- ileges see a cheerless future. So many men go bareheaded tc theatres and hotels and the women so seldom wear cloaks that the old ladies who have thrived on tips are complaining that fashion is taking the bread from their mouths.
 Sport and the automobile are to blame. The cult of the young who disdain hats has grown of late years and this summer at beach and mountain resorts null tiplied the number of the hatless crowd.
 The increase in automobiles naturally has made it easier for many men and women to go to the theatre without hat or coat.
 It is quite an upset in the traditions of France but back of it is the long abuse of the "ves- tiare" or cloakroo n. It has been a department in public places, so poorly handled that people often preferred to keep their wraps rather than wait ten min utes in a struggling line to get them back.
 Also, they came to resent as sumption of the right to collect hats, coats and canes from all who entered. The public, there fore, has followed fashion the more willingly because 1t helped abolish another nuisance
