One Day's Work a Week. That is all that many men in Montenegro can find. These two old men, each of them having passed the four-score mark, amply illustrate that condition. They are harness makers waiting in the market at Podgoritza for business. But as there are no horses left, the enemy having driven them all off the harness trade does not flourish. They work at their trade but one day a week. On the other five they are employed by the American Red Cross along with many other needy persons, to clean the streets, improved sanitary conditions and aid about the American relief station. In this way they manage to earn a comfortable living and at the same time help their less fortunate brethren
