Aa WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1920 13 can be had, there are no cows, no butter, no vegetables and no fresh fruit. You see what a poor country it is. If is were not for the British Red Cross I don't know what we would do. From them we got some oleomargarine which is not bad, also some jam. We are living from tins but not fareing badly, we have more than our neighbors. More Difficulties We have a tiny little house made for small Turks, the entrance is through the needle's eye, a small gate in the wall, to enter which I must double up. There are two separate buildings on each side of the lot wit ha sStone-covered passage be tween of eight feet. On the right are two sleeping rooms which you enter by mounting five steps through another small door about four feet high, consequently the top of my head is continually sore. If we stay here we will have to have two of the door made larger. The dining room and kitchen are on the other side also the room in which our soldier- interpreter sleeps. When I stand on ny tip-toes in the dining room my head touches the ceiling. The whole place is very small and artist- ic and looks very much like a child's play house. We have a little garden and a place for the auto to stand which we only use on state occasions on account of the scarcity of gas- oline. Need Railroads Miss Cameron and Miss Marks are with me. They are very nice girls. Miss Cameron is teaching our little Serbian maid to cook. Everything is - baked in the baker's oven which makes things much easier, as wood is very difficult to get in this region and also dear and there is no coal at all. Serbia needs money invested in railroads and farming, it would help the country to come into its own. The Turks have held it back they would not permit the railroads to come to Prishtina, traveling is very difficult with the railroad 8 kilo- meters fro mthe town. This is the historic region of Serbia, here the Kosebo Plains where the great battles have been fought, are close tos us. Sunday, I visited the church where King Peter partook of com- munion 500 years after the king who lost this country to the Turks; the Turks never desecrated this church but the Bulgars did| There is an old monastery near, which is being used as a school and living quarters. I want to start a Dispensary and feed- ing station there. We have lots of trouble with rats in our house I am useing every means to be rid of them, they have no fear of the cat and she no liking for them. I have had only two letters from you since I left, the mail is very ir- regular from Paris and I miss hear- ing from you, I trust that you are well and that the most of the winter is behind you. My love to all and tell them that Serbia is even worse than I feared and that she is in great need of help for clothing, shoes and food. Yours as ever, Alice Barlow-Brown. Approval.
