UKRAINE NOW BUILDING
HOUSES OF MUD BRICK

Kharkov, Nov. Lack of wood
in the Ukraine has led French and
German colonists to build houses of
mud bricks held together by straw.
These bricks are earelessly plaster
ed over with mud, and when dry
the mud is tinted in water colors.
One house will be bright blue,
another yellow, the next one pink
or green, and the village as a whole
makes a colorful picture. Plots
upon which the houses stand are
surrounded by low walls made of
the same material and tinted to cor
respond with the house. Gardens are
well kept in summer and there is an
abundance of fruit trees.
Harold Il. Fisher, historian of
the American Relief administration
recently visited both the German
and French colonies in the Ukraine.
The German villages near the mouth
of the Dneister, across from Bes-
sarabia, he described as exceeding
ly picturesque and as spiek and span
as any along the Rhine.
