Told of Balkans

The Balkan countries we're dls'
cussed by X. s. Gerganoff in an in
teresting and instructive talk Tor
the International Study Group OF
the American Association OF Uni
versity Women, Tuesday evening
in Charles McKenny Hall.
The speaker traced the history OF
the development OF the Balkan
countries as they appear today
speaking OF the many conflicts
which have made various nations
the ruling powers in that area. In
many cases these conflicts have
greatly affected world history. Mr..
Gerganoff showed that the turmoi'
in the Balkans has been due, In
part, to the struggle between the
great nations to control the Medl--
erranean Sea. and in part, to dis
sention among the Balkan countries
More recent developments. such as
the civil war in Greece and the &C.
cupation OF Bulgaria by the Rus
slams. were also discussed.
The speaker wa SCALED upon to
answer questions pertaining to
political developments and travel IN
the Balkan area. Activities OF Bal
kan groups in the United States
also proved OF great interest TO
members OF the study group.

velopment and told Of chemical re-
search that promises to provide
continually increasing efficiency.
For example, he said, only about
