TO CHECK FREE READING.
BELGRADE, January 15. In an effort to increase circulation the owners of a provincial Yugoslav paper, "Karlovac Messenger," have decided to bind all the pages of the paper so that nobody can read it without buying it. Making inquiries about lost sales, the owners discovered that most people, when visiting the tobacco shops, where usually newspapers are sold, also read the paper and then put it back without buying it. The custom of reading newspapers for nothing at the vendor's shop is here very widespread.
