MONOTONOUS LIFE
 IN MONTENEGRO
Natives There Have Very
 Little to Do

Cettinje, Montenegro, July 1s Q9 While all the other capitals of Europe have been growing at a rapid pace, Cettinje, once the stronghold Of King Nicholas pie turesque Montenegrin kingdom, has slumbered in an atmosphere of medievalism and Oriental seIf-com- placency.
 Situated in the heart of the "Black Mountain" district, the na- tives live the same precarious, mono- tonous lives they did centuries ago when they fled from the Turks.
 Scene of "The Merry Widow
 But the "Littlest of Europe's capitals" still retains all that color, romance, animation and oriental fascination which gave Franz Lehar, the Austrian composer, his inspira- ton for writing The Merry Wid- ow." The spot where he wrote that lively operetta is still pointed out to visitors. The great oak tree under which the redoubtable King Nicho- las carried on the affairs of state and collected tribute from his sub- jects still stands. the object of in tense curiosity by all tourists.
 The inclusion of Montenegro in the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes while conferring many benefits on the hardy mountaineers, has changed the outward aspects of Cettinje but little. In a country which is made up largely of rock and barren soil, life is given only to the sure, the strong and the swift. In many cases the Montene- grin pitches his 8In oldest stone hut high up among the crags where the eagle makes its nest.
 Women do the Work
 One American visitor character ized Montenegro as a Hand of tomb- stones." Left to itself, the country would starve. for such small arabic land areas as exist produce only about one-third the populations food requirements. The rest must come from outside.
 Yet in this primitive. poverty ridden land, women do all the work It is an adage as old as the coun- try itself that "man is the warrior, and woman the worker" Mans sole duty is to defend the home and his family's honor with firearms. The women age prematurely under the ceaseless burden of work, and few of them live beyond fifty.

Taking advantage of the Pol sh upheaval centering 3n Warsaw, jkrainians in Galicia called mass meetings to demand the convoca- ion of National Assembly.
 "Galicia is Poland's easternmost che" says a bulletin of the Ma ional Geographic society from it's ieadquarters in Washington, D. c. But twinge in Galicia is more erious than the growing pains that he newly recreated republic ex- eriences on other borders, Silesia, he Danzig corridor, Russia, Lithu- mia and at Teschen, Czechoslov- kia.
 \ Gift with a String to 1t
 Eighteen years from now there lust be decision on a major oper- ton for Eastern Galicia. When the league of Nations deeded to Poland his block of land on the north anks of the Carpathian mountains
