Albanian farmers learn the American way. With this kind of age old farm equipment still generally in use it is easy to picture the amazement of Albanian farmers when they saw a demonstration of modern American methods. It was arranged for their benefit by the American Red Cross, now carrying on an estensive relief work for the war sufferers of the much fought over Balkan state. Tilling the fields with oxen hitched to a rude, home-made, wooden plow is slow, hot work and discouraging, as well, for the men who have to build up a country that is having its first taste of economic and governmental freedom after centuries of Turkish control and outside interference. It is believed that Albania, although centuries behind the timewill grasp at all the newest and quickest means to restore herself and solidfy her independenice for her people follow agricultural pursuits naturally and the soil is fertile and favorable for almost any kind of crops. There are 40,000 Albanians in the United States who are giving their hearty support to the efforts of their war hammered country

A Dalmatian laundry. Washing machines and other modern American time savers have not yet invaded the ancient city of Gollard in Dalmatia, so the women of today bend their backs for long hours while rubbing the linens on the rocks at the river bank to whiten them. For centuries this has been the custom of the country and it may be centuries before these unsuspecting people learn of western inventions. Labor saving devices for the over worked women of various European countries have been introduced by members of the American Red Cross wherever their relief activities have taken them. The American washing machine has perhaps caused more real consternation than almost any other one thing

Picturesque bridge dating back to the Romans. Another picturesque aspect of the old Roman bridge, above pictured, shows the pool underneath and the vista of mountains. Although this bridge has gathered centuries and still shows no sign of crumbling it is becoming impractical for twentieth century needs. The Italian army was forced to reconstruct it in order to facilitate automobile traffic for the grade is too sharp. The first motor transportation to cross on this bridge after the Armistice was an American Red Cross camion-truck laden with relief supplies for the destitute and war stricken people of Tirana and Durazzo
