exceeded March, 1888, by 40 per
cent. With the sales tempo speeding
up in April, preliminary figures in
dicated that that month would ex-
ceed April, 1887, by small margin.
While the "swing" craze cuts a
large figure in the revival, classical
records are actually gaining faster
just now than the popular selec-
tions. Stores report that "swing"
addicts gradually begin to pick up a
few better records, usually starting
with modern classics.
Pianos Up, Too.
Piano shipments of 25,548 instru-
ments in the first quarter of this
year far exceeded the 1891 total
for the first quarter of 1888, and
almost equalled the 1887 figure of
25,649 pianos shipped in the first
three months of that year. Retail
ers reported a slight slowing of pub
lie demand in April, but May, with
its music week, brought a rising
volume. Due to the introduction of
rapid style changes in pianos, deal
ers no longer carry heavy stocks,
but buy very close to their current
requirements, so that manufacture
ers' shipments closely follow the
trend of actual retail sales, the
study observes.

that similar units are as near alike

For example, pistons intended for

the rods are matched to a close

Segregated according to weight

This precaution assures perfect

Yugoslavia Is Europe's New Timder Box;
Minority Problem May Force Its Collapse
Repetition of Czech Coup
Seen for Dictators;
Italy's Turn Now.
BY JULES DORMIER

Last year it was Czecho-Slo-
vakia. This year it's Yugosla-
via. The cast is different, the
locale changed. But the drama
is the samoa stubborn minor
ity versus the strong central
government. The background
is also sinilar-an abortive
nationalist history which. got
its start in the hasty halls of
Versailles.
This is what happens when
uniformed treaty makers dis
regard centuries of tradition,
tossing cats and dogs in the
same pen. Eventually the
cats (or the dogs) subdue their ene-
mics, who cringe vengefully in the
corner awaiting the time to strike
back. Now is the time.
Just as Sudeten Germans could
legitimately complain that CZechs
and Slovaks were purposely subdu-
ing them, so can Yugoslavia's S
Croats claim discrimination on the
part of the more powerful Serbs
who run the Belgrade government.
1t grows from centuries of dislike,
aided by the fact that Croats are
traditionally Catholic and the Serbs
are Greek Orthodox and Moslems.
Croats consider Serbs uncultured
barbarians.
Planned Federalist State.
But the pressure of war some
times makes strange bedfellows. In
1917 the Croats-anticipating break
up of the Austro-Hungarian empire
Joined the Slovenes and Serbs in
formation of a new state in which
all three groups were to have equal
constituent rights. The capital, un-
fortunately for the Croats, was
placed at Serbian Belgrade.
Any Croat, like DR.. Vladimar
Matchek, the groups "Gandhi," will
readily outline the succeeding 20
years grievances.
Yugoslavia's army has 202 gener-
ais, only two of whom are Croats,
though there are about 100000
Croats and 100000 Serbs in the ma
ton. Croats have no hand in run
ming the state and-they say-are
regarded by Belgrade as good for
only one thing: paying taxes.
Last December came the crown
ing blow. At the regular election DR..
Matchek's forces won at least 90
per cent of all votes cast by Croa-
tians, but were not given seats be-
cause Yugoslav election laws-al-
legedly framed" by Belgrade poll
ticians-provide that the party win
ming bare majority automatically
gets two-thirds of the seats in par
Lament.
Feeling that his regularly elected
deputies have a right to speak for
the people, DR.. Matchek founded an
extra-legal Croatian national assem-
bly, which sits at Zagreb and refuses
to recognize the present Yugoslav
government.
Stage Is Set for Italy.
This is the typical powder-keg sit
uation which aggressive Germany
and Italy love to "solve" by send

friendship treaty under which Mus
solini's soldiers would probably
come to Prince Pauls defense" in
the event of Croat uprising.
CrOats Dislike Fascists.
The Croats want no truck with
dictators; few months ago they
looked favorably on Germany and
thought of inviting Der Fuehrer to
"iberate" them. Subsequent news
of developments in Austria and
Czecho-Slovakia has changed their
minds but they probably realize that
the price they pay for independence
from the Serb yoke may be depend
ence on Italy.
It is recalled that when Germany
seized Czecho-Slovakia all her
neighbors rushed in to get their
share of the spoils. Since Yugo-
slavia's story parallels Czecho-
Slovakia's thus far, its coming his
tory might be wirrten in advance:
A Croat uprising could get SO bad
that Prince Paul would invite Mus
solini's aid, Immediately available
from the colony" of Albania. At
a moments notice Greece would
invade to recapture her Macedoni-
ans, Bulgaria to free her nationals,
Rumania to get hers, and Hungary
to iberate the Germans and Mag
vars placed under Yugoslavia's S care
by the Versailles treaty. In such
situation the highly anti-Fascist
Croats would probably appeal to
France and Britain, thus endanger-
ing European peace once more.
It is significant that the rulers of
Europe invariably play their diplo-
matte games on other fronts, yet go
back to the Balkans when it comes
time to start war. Twenty-Five
years ago this June Archduke Franz
Ferdinand and his wife were assas-
sinated at Sarajevo, Serbia, (now
Yugoslavia) and war resulted.
Today Yugoslavia's neutral inde-
pendence is one of the greatest safe
guards to European peace. Strate-
gically placed, she separates am
bilious Germany from such easy
marks as Bulgaria and Greece. She
keeps both Italy and Germany from
locking horns with Rumania and
blocks any expansionist ambitions
Hungary may entertain.
But will Yugoslavia, a 'war
baby" like Czecho-Slovakia, explode
from internal pressure and again
endanger European peace? 1t may
happen during the next few weeks or
months; keep weather eye on the
Balkans.

ley's destiny probably lay in the trip
he was then taking, gun-jumping,

placed some 200 delegates under
lock and key for himself or the man
he chooses to run for President.
Carefully avoided was any statement
that might offend either Mr.. Roose-
velt or Vice President Garner, but
Jim Farley was sizing up matters
as good politician should. A Ro-
man Catholic probably could not be
elected President, but Mr.. Farley's
200 votes might easily make him
vice presidential nominee.
Garner. Never has southerner
been elected President, the more so
today because Negro voters almost
furnish balance of power in sew
eral northern states. But John
Nance Gamers campaign manager
has concentrated in south and south
west states to line up 200 delegates
for the aging Texan whose intense
popularity is the years No. l politi-
cal phenomenon. If a secret agree
ment exists between Democrats
Farley and Garner, the tactics thus
far bear it out. Each has studious-
ly avoided an invasion of the others
stamping grounds, and though nei-
ther has spoken there is every indi-
cation that they see eye-to-eye. Both

Life's Battle

NIE ARE constantly speaking
w of the struggle for life," and
calling life 'a battle; but we do
not see that our very existence,
and the fact that we have a battle

and triumphs of those who have
gone before us. We think that
some strange thing has happened
to us, and that our lot is an un-

But such thoughts are altogeth-

life as hard a battle as we do, and
if they had not fought we should
not be alive to fight. Every stage

Beef Ste1p

Fresh Argentine beef is barred
from the U. S. by sanitary regula-
tions, which is one major reason
why Argentina disrupted the Pan
American conference at Lima last
December. But canned beef CIVIL
ly'') is not barred. President Roose-
welt made news recently by asking
congress to permit the navy to buy
its canned beef from Argentina at
Is cents pound, cents less than
American beef. Moreover, he said,
the Argentine product is better.
At Buenos Aires, Argentine For
eign Minister Jose Cantilo thought
Mr.. Roosevelt's taste for South
American beef was ga fine gesture
which may become an important
precedent in friendly relations be-
tween the two countries" But at
Washington congress tremendous
ly conscious of the farm vote thought
otherwise. Discovering a cause
celebre, Illinois Rep. Leo Allen
raised visions of congressman
smacking their lips over a beef-tast-
ing contest. Said he: "Many of us
believe American beef has no su-
perior. For that reason I am offer
ing resolution for committee of
five to investigate and determine
whether Argentine beef is better"

DETROIT. - If a modern Paul
Bunyan were fitting pistons in a car
60 miles long, observing the stand
ards of precision which prevail in
motor car factories, his mile-wide
cylinders would not vary more than
an inch and quarter in diameter.
For in motor assembly, tolerances
as close as 7/100, ,000th of an inch
are watched in fitting pistons today.
After being manufactured to limit
variation of 2/1000th of an inch,
the pistons are then gauged into a
number of different size groups for
the selective fittings.
One man out of every nine in the
motor plant is an inspector, busy
checking the standards of accuracy.
In axle plants, where important
gears are assembled, there is one
