fact that IL cents will buy pound

This deplorable economic malad-

which Hitler or Mussolini may feel
he needs to carve up the country.
Yugoslavia has been to preoccu-

Slav race, two of whom can barely
live with one another. In the ex-

along the Dalmatian coast are some

had been for centuries, until the end
of the war, under the domination of
the Austro-H o-Hungary empire. They
are Roman Catholic and pretty
thoroughly westernized. They fought

the last war. Farther south are
some 100000 Serbs, hardy, war;

the Turks, under whose domination

The Serbs are the rulers of Yueo-
slavia. The boy King, Peter II,
is Serb; the three regents are
more or less Serb, the army is prin-
cipally Serb, the majority of in
f1uential capitalists are Serbs. Serbs
and Slovenes early made peace and
live in apparent harmony together
Not so Serbs and Croats, who are
closer neighbors. They fought on
opposite sides during the war-the
Croats were on the losing side and
aren't allowed to forget it. The
Serbs say that for thousand years
the Croats have done everything
for independence but fight for it.
The Croats consider themselves in
tellectually superior to the Serbs,
whom they call "gangsters. The
two peoples have the same language,

The inability of Serbs and Croats
to rule together under the parlia-
mentary government given Yugo-
slavla by the peacemakers at Ver-
sailles forced the late King, Alex.
ander, to resort to a rigid dictator
ship. The King was assassinated in
1884 by a Croat. The Croats failed
to revolt, as they were expected to.
and now they are demanding auton-
omy for Croatia and more repre-
sentation for themselves in the ma
tional government. These the Serbs
refuse.
Some acquaintances assure us
that the rape of Czecho-S -Slovakia
taught Yugoslavia the lesson that
unity is necessary for independence
and consequently the government
has been seeking the solution of
the Serb-Croat differences. Re-
Gently. though, the negotiations for
this result have fallen through. It
is reported that Hitler and Mus
sollni have both given such strong
assurances to the effect that they
have no intentions against Yugo-
slavia that the government no long
er feels it necessary to deal with
the Croats. If this is true, the
axis politicians have again worked
a smooth one and the Yugoslavian
pot OF discord is still boiling.

BLED, Yugoslavia.-Will Yugo-
slavia be another Czecho-S -Slovakia?
Yugoslavia Is country rich in
undeveloped natural resources, torn
by economic maladjustment and in
ternal political quarrels. Many as
sert that it is the next logical VIC
tim of Hitler, whose Germany Is
starving for things in which Yugo-
slavia abounds, and of Mussolini,
whose Italy was promised-but
never got-the Dalmatian coast in
1915 by France and England. Others
say that already this small country
is so we'll gripped in the axis wise
that it is unnecessary for the die
tators to think of further acts
against it. Whatever the opinion,
the question of Yugoslavia' future
gnaws continually in the majority
of its peoples minds.
We were walking one day with a
Croatian friend here in Bled, which
is IN Slovenia, northernmost prov
ince Of Yugoslavia.
Look" he pointed, "those noun
tains right up there in the north,
they are the Karavankes and stand
between us and Germany. Hitler's
newest guns sit up there
Look over there to the north
west. Those jagged peaks are the
Julian Alps, the frontier between US
and Italy. Mussolini's Alpine troops
train there daily.
No Credits With Other Nations.
That's not all, either. Mussolini
controls the Adriatic, now that he
has taken Albania, which is an
other base for Italian invasion into
Yugoslavia. The Adriatic Is our best
means OF shipping grain, linen and
the products of our peasants to
England. France and America. Then
to the east are Hungary and Bull
garia. Neither one cares for us
both are closely allied to Hitler
and Hungary has always been anx-
ious to get back the territories she
lost to us during the war.
"Yugoslavia doesn't want to be
dominated by any one, much less
Mussolini and Hitler; we have
fought for too many centuries for
our independence. But because of
our very position We have to work
with these people and now we have
got in so deep that We have no
credits with any other nations but
Germany and Italy. If we don t
do what Hitler and MusSolini want
they might stop buying our grain
and other products. Since we hard
ly sell to any one else, that would
ruin us.
THE dictators can only exist by
keeping up their foreign successes
They cannot have peace long or
their people will begin to take stock
of things at home. They must move
again soon. 1t would not be hard
for them to find excuses for moving
in here and dividing Yugoslavia
between them"
This country is one of the richest
in Europe. Not only granary, 1t
abounds in other foods, like milk,
butter, eggs and meat. Its glorious
mountains are carpeted with the
most valuable timber in Southeast
ern Europe and are stiff with coal,

Ghosts Grow Bold

Ghosts have been plentiful in
South Africa recently, according to
tales told by excited Europeans and
natives. The NaauWpoort ghost in
an old house near Bloemfontein has
reappeared, and when a medium
and the owner of the farm investi-
gated and found gold and silver
coins wrapped in decayed cloth in
a wall a search for $25 900 reported
hidden on the farm was started. A
white horse is said to gallop among
the graves of concentration camp
near Erasmus. Europeans failed in
a hunt at night to bag a serpent
reported by natives. Many serpent
tales are believed to be bottled
menageries." But the ghost heard
walking about the police station in
Paarl without being seen in the
prize puzzler.

Bv JESSIE FAINT EVANS,

Mrs H. H. Jacobs, as a feminine
careerist, is one of Uncle Sans eight
expert women patent examiners
but after Office hours, she is an
efficient and gracious homemaker
whose absorbing extra -curricular
activity centers about her hobby of
collecting pitchers.
Her collection of over 200 pitchers
constitutes one of the interesting
and individuahstic features of the
dining room of her home at 29O8
New Mexico avenue NV. The
pitchers are kept in two corner cup
boards and tiers of glass shelves
across the triple side windows of
the room
In describing her collection, Mrs.
Jacobs explains: Some are rare
and unusual, from the collector S
standpoint; others are quite good
and still others might be classified
as just junk"
Unlike most seasoned lobbyists
though, Mrs. Jacobs does not dis
regard her Junk" pieces for those
which collectors might consider
more desirable. Each" she says

Each Pitcher Catalogued.
With characteristic scientific pre-
cision and training. Mrs. Jacobs has
catalogued each pitcher under a
specific heading with information
concerning its earlier history and
background, and the circumstances
under which it came to be in her
possession. The headings are AN

and American Modern China and

Hands Need Care
As a rule, hands come in for the
hardest treatment in cold weather.
There is always more dirt in winter
than summer and we have to wash
our hands Oftener. And soap and
water, combined with cold weather,
is an unfailing recipe for chapped
hands. Make it rule, as long as
the cold persists, to apply a hand
cream or protective lotion to your
hands every time you wash them,
be it five or fifty times a day. Moth
ing detracts more from a woman's
charm than rough, red hands. Soft,
smooth hands are an invitation to
romance, but rough, cracked skin
will cool the most ardent admirer.
Play safe this winter. If your
skin is inclined to be dry, use a good
night cream, especially designed for
dry skin to counterfeit the effect of
wind and cold. Winter is always
the most social time of all. Don't
let icy winds freeze your chances
for round of gaiety.
