NOLOGNE GAZETTE.-The civic
theater at Bochum (Prussia)
has obtained an injunction
\ against the dramatic critic
rrrl,r.-o nrnr,ciA iona nr,r,ann. In

~ against the dramatic critic
whose compositions appear in
the press under the name 'Dannen-
berger" restraining him from attend
ance at any performances given in that
house. The name of this critic is Eric
Reeger, and 1t is said his discussions OF
the offerings are invariably so I'M
friendly and polemical that the business
of the institution is seriously injured by
his reviews. At recent court hearing
presided over by Circuit Judge Hamm,
the allegations OF the playhouse were
sustained, and the right OF admission
finally denied to Dannenberger.

Dictatorship Blamed
For Depression in Jugoslavia.
Privredni Pregled, Belgrade.-With
us the chief customer is the peasant.
But he is no longer able to buy as
freely as formerly, as the prices for his
products have greatly declined. Under
similar state of affairs, industry. too,
which had heretofore been developing
satisfactorily, and was in some instances
really prosperous, has begun to feel
the pinch of the economic crisis.
The timber industry was the first TO
suffer. Work was stopped and workers
dismissed in many large lumber enter
priseS in Bosnia, Slovenia, Gorski
Kotar and Lika Five carriage building
concerns also suspended operations, and
textile factories have reduced their
stats and operations.
The world economic crisis Is generally
indicated as the reason for all these
difficulties, and it Is no doubt true that
the general condition has affected
Jugoslavia. Nevertheless the dictator
ship has shown itself powerless to COM
bat this economic repercussion. It's
unsound policies impede the basic in
duStry, agriculture, with all sorts of
restrictions, taxes and penalties, and at
the same time upset the balance OF
trade by permitting imports of goods
that could be produced at home far in
excess of our exports. These defects
are the main cause OF all our economic
troubles.
Protest Of Demands
On French School Children.
lie Matin, Paris.-One of our feminine
readers calls attention to the weight OF
the school books which little children
often are obliged to carry.
MY little boy, who is 10 years old, y
this lady tells us, came home the other
day with lot of copy-manuals and

critical period of growth, Is it not
senseless to require him to lug home
such q ponderosity of books nearly
every day? 1t is almost enough to give

While 1t is true that elementary
scholastic life is filled with many little
Rnnoyances and infelicities not always
possible to avoid, we do think that
some really superfuous vexatious should
be abolished by those in charge of
educational affairs. Small children
who must endure hours of restraint
| and mental tension should not be
further fatigued with the carrying OF
books to and from their homes, most
OF which they never openl They say
