Sun dried bricks. Mud bricks, dried in the sun, are the favorite building material of Serbia. These bricks are much the same as the abode used in Arizona and New Mexico. Workmen simply dig a small hole in the clay and turn in the water, straw is worked into the mud by stamping it with bare feet. After the mud is tramped to the proper degree of firmness it is shoveled into open moulds and packed down. Then the coulds [sic] are lifted off and the bricks are allowed to bake in the sun until thoroughly dry. In a country of much rain these bricks would be useless as the buildings would quickly melt. The new hospital in Skoplje, erected by the government for the Red Cross to occupy was constructed almost entirely of these sun dried bricks with both the interior and exterior covered with a coating of cement and whitewash 1 September 1920 [date received]

A Macedonian wool peddler. Fuel is so scarce in old Macedonia, now a part of Serbia and Jugo-Slavia [sic], that special peddlers urging on a hesitating 'burre' laden with faggots, go from house to house selling a few to each regular customer. The sleeveless sheepskin coat worn by the peddler is almost part of the national costume of this section of Europe. They are so generally worn that their widespread use accounts in large measure for the shortage of wool available for exportation. In other respects the clothing of this race is still a reminder of Moslem rule and the fez turban however, in styles for a large shipment of American clothing was distributed by the American Red Cross among the poverty stricken inhabitants of all the small towns. 'Made in America' looms large among the strange looking Turkish brand 26 August 1920 [date received]
