Serbian peasant women. In the early hours of the morning these Serbian peasant women walk over the rough roads for ten or fifteen miles on their way to the public markets of Belgrade where they sell their meager produce from small push carts. The markets open very early and close at noon to enable them to get back to their homes by the evening. The miserable existence that the peasant population of this war-torn country leads shows in the lined faces of the women, for in years they are much younger than they appear to be. After the Armistice when they were almost naked, it was the American Red Cross that rescued many thousands of them and helped them through some of the darkest hours that over beset their grief stricken country

This photograph shows how the two halves of a trailer house, delivered individually, are assembled by simply rolling them together on previously prepared foundations which consist of a few posts driven into the ground connected by planks upon which the house halves roll by means of small wooden wheels. Each half is light enough to be towed behind a 3/4 ton truck or passenger car. They come fully equipped with all essential furniture and equipment, either built-in or stored inside during transport. They are connected to each other by a few bolts, while the roof sections meet in ridges over which a common cap is laid. The whole operation may take between one and three hours, including connection to previously prepared utilities. The section or halves measure 26' x 7'9," thus permitting highway transportation without special permits. Any number of sections can be combined. Two- and three-bedroom houses. Recreation buildings, bath houses, and even very large barracks, have been constructed by TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) on the same general plans but using more sections
