PODGORITZA, November 3 (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
A gift of $4,000 made by the Junior
Red Cross of America for hospital
and educational work in Montenegro
is being utilized here.
The PodgoritZa Hospital of seventy
beds, established some months ago by
the American Red Cross. and which
has been daily turning away enough
patients to fill 500 beds, is being en-
larged Immediately. Two additional
wards, made of barracks and Set in
the beautiful grounds of Prince
Mirko's palace are being added to the
hospital. A section of the hospital
will be devoted especially to the treat
ment of children.
To the only boys school in Pod
goritZa there is being added large
dormitory barracks. Hundreds of
mountain boys, eager for education,
tramp into Podgoritza to attend this
school, but they do not have money
for lodging, and so they must sleep
in barns or open fields. After school
they walk up and down the roads
studying, regardless of the weather.
The dormitory will accommodate all
those boys, and will be within a
stones throw Of the school.
For the younger boys, mostly or
phans, who live about the market
place, a school colony is being built. 1t
is a small group of buildings, in which
the boys will sleep, be fed. be taught
lessons and given vocational training.
Just as soon as this colony has been
organized. and is functioning well, it
VIII be turned over to some Monte
negrin relief organization to operate.
Other work-dispensary service. soup
kitchens and education of the public
in matters of personal and social

For years one of the most popular
holidays in the long calendar of such
days in Mexico has been All Souls
day, which by regulation of the Cath
olic Church is dedicated to the dead
and as such should be observed as a
solemn occasion. The poor class of
native, however, had turned it into a
day of hilarity and general rejoicing.
and it was no uncommon thing to find
a happy group drinking. pulque and
singing songs over the grave of some
dear and deceased relative
The merrymaking was stopped this
year by order of the city council.

by the club women is explained by
the fact that lively fight is look

candidate of the northern part of
the state, inasmuch as she is back

are supporting Mrs Funk because
they feel sure she will adequately
represent them, having done so in
