Early Home Of Baths
None AT All Now

vRAJNE, Serbia. (By Mail.)- -
There was time in vrajne when the
people included whatever the Ser
bian word for bath may be in their
everyday vocabularies and not infre-
quently suited the action to the word,
but that was hundreds of years ago.
Today it is with difficulty that the
envoys Of the American Red Cross
at Vrajne are teaching the people the
practical meaning Of the word.
And yet, of all the towns'of Serbia,
Vrajne is one which should be most
familiar with baths and bathing, for
it is the home of the biggest and old
est Turkish bath establishment in the
country. The ancient baths were
built in the sixteenth century by the
Turks themselves, who then ruled the
country. They are housed in an an
cient stone structure with red tile
roof.
The water, in the days when the
baths were operating, flowed into
huge vats above primitive under
ground furnaces from a spring whose
crystal stream, now released, still
bubbles through the vaulted cellars
Of the ancient establishment. The
steam from the watts was led to the
hot rooms above through channels
cut in the solid rock walls of the
building, for in the days when the
yrajne baths were constructed there
was no such thing as an iron or lead
pipe.
Today the Vraine baths are de-
serted. Bathing is ritual Of which
the city's population has Known moth
ing for generations. The youths of
the town are learning the art from
the Red Gross wofkerslbut the elders
still look upon the Eblution of the
body as Troublesome superfuity,
and the ancient baths of vrajne may
crumble into ruins ere the subterra-
mean steam watts boil and bubble
again.
