munique said German Stuka dive bombing planes had attacked Jugo- slav troop concentrations west oi Zagreb so strongly that "troor columns which were not rubbed out waved white cloths and surrendered to the pursuing units of the Ger man army"
 The air force yesterday effec- lively supported the German ad- vance, the agency said, bombing military objectives with excellent results. Railroad stations, railroad lines and troop trais were de- stroyed, 1t was asserted, and river boats laden with war materials were destroyed on the Sava. Ger. man planes attacked Jugoslav bar racks, food depots and air fields, Il was said, and destroyed 10 grounded planes.
 Hit British Ships
 German bombing planes, accord. ing to the agency, again attacked British ship concentrations at Sal amis, sinking one ship of 5000 tons and damaging others totaling 33,- 900 tons.
 An official agency dispatch al- legged to be from Athens via Sofia said that British military authori- ties had held up at Piraeus, the port Of Athens, several transports which had taken British troops to Greece.
 This measure" the agency said "is interpreted to mean that the English want to use the steamers to transport English troops from Greece. This supposition is strengthened by the fact that sev- eral English troop transports whicl, should have arrived from Egypt and whose unloading in Greece al ready Was prepared for, have moi arrived"
 It was asserted that the Ger mans took Zagreb almost without a fight. Jugoslav soldiers merely fired a few rounds and then fled 1t was said.
 German dispatches said that Ger. man tanks pressed like powerful stream" into Zagreb to be received by the people with "thunderoui Heils." Hungarian soldiers who en- tered Jugoslavia were greeted witt similar enthusiasm, 1t was added.
 The German radio re-broadcas a program from Zagreb, in which Slavko Kvaternik, minister of wal in the Separatist Croat cabinet sait that with Gods providence and tht will of its great German ally" Croa' tia could now again" be declared an independent state.
 CrOat in Full Charge
 It was announced that Kvaternik enjoying the new rank of genera in a presumed Croat army, haC taken over "the entire military power of the nation and had sum- moned all officers, officials ant functiolaries to swear allegiance In a special greeting to German occupation troops Kvaternik sait that throughout Crotia the name o Hitler was idolized land we Croat desire only to fight side by sid with our German friends as we di, in the las5 war"

There is no excuse for awkward,

inviting mice, rats and vermin and

Several weeks ago we told you

If you don't want to build one your

We've been hunting inexpensive
units and have found a ready made

can be installed in a basement or

directly to the f1ue serving the

Arlington County is said to be the
fastest growing county in America.
Certainly, its population is increas-
ing faster than any other segment
of Metropolitan Washington.
For the last two decades it has
almost doubled its population every
10 years. Between 1880 and 1910,
the increase was more than 100 per
cent. There are almost six times
as many people in the county today
as there were in 1910, 1921 to
57,04O. This is the April census fig
ure for last year. 1t is much greater
now.
American cities are growing faster
at their edges than in the original
areas. Most cities lost population
between 1880 and 1910 But even
where there was gain, the increase
was nothing like as great within the
city itself as in the outlying, or, as
the city planners say, satellite COM
munitieS.
Because the territory of WASH
ington is restricted by law, it has
been impossible for the Capital to
absorb these nearby communities.
Other cities, when suburbs are built
up, usually manage to incorporate
them into the city itself. This gives
the parent municipality the benefit
of more taxes from the newly popu-
lated sections. People who live in
outlying areas come to work and
trade in the central part. This in
