Lot of Balkan
Poor Unhappy

kan countries have an unusually hard
lot in life. Their poverty is practically
permanent. Their plight seems to ex-
cite little sympathy from those wha
are well off. There is a cGiiOuSed in
difference TO the sufferings of the poor
which strikes an American as almost
heartlesS. In few If any of the Bal
kan states does the government make
any provision for care Of the poor.
This work in the past has been left
largely to foreign relief agencies end
private charitable organizations.
EiSht-Hour Day Unknown.
The eight-hOur working day so COM
mon in the United States Is unknown
in the Balkan rural districts. The
peasant works from sunrise until after
dark. He is so. bent and weather.
beaten that he looks twice his age aft
er thirty. In some cases he belongs
to one Of the nomadic tribes and leads
an existence unknown in the country
districts of America. At night one
often passes whole wagon loads of
them on the road going from town TO
town. Every man is asleep on his
lead. and is not disturbed by thoughts
of burglars or highwaymen.
The peasant removes his hat to
everyone better dressed than himself
and gets his Ox-cart off the road for
every automobile. He is a simple.
honest, home-lOving person with
much homely virtue. The peasant
women have enormous families OF
children. only about half of whom
survive the rigOrs of child-life IN the
extreme conditions that prevail in the
Balkans
Cottages Are Crude.
The peasants cottages are crude
structures with matched roofs and
mud walls. But they contrive tO
adOrn them with attractive exteriors
and take great pains to produce the
utmost decorative effect. This EN-.
bellishment frequently takes the form
of q porch with a small background
bearing a border design whose con

riOr SHOWS the economic stress un
der which these people live. There
is seldom any kind Of food except
coarse cornmeai. The cooking uten
sils are limited to few homemade
pewter pots. The furniture consists
of a table and a few rudely con
structed benches. The beds usually
are upon the floor or upon rough
hewn boards.
