' Second Section NAPOLEON'S SUITS | WORN BY SOLDIERS Unilorm of His Bodgguad Sen in-Belgrade Washington, D, C. April 24.—The oft-told story of a conservative city which mistook letter carrlers in their new gray uniforms for Con- foderate soldiers was outdone in Belgrade recently when a coterle of Crotians marched into Belgrade wearing the uniforms of Napoleon's | bodyguard. *The visitors were the town guard of Varasd, a community 62 miles northeast of Agram,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D, C,, head- quarters of the National Geographic society. “The town has been proud of its guard of Burghers for many centuries, Napoleon, when he passed through Varasd, was so struck by their appearance that he bestowed upon them the privilege of wearing the uniforms of the officers of his personal escort. Delegation Visits King “Even the Austrians, the delega- tion explained, had not interfered with this privilege but now some efticlency bureau of the new Yugo- slay government objected to such a small town having its own guard and had ordered the guard, uniforms and all, abolished, 8o the Burghers put on their resplendent regalia and went up to see King Alexander about it. “Dispatches tell of the happy ending—how the King restored their rights and presented to each man a silver cigarette case. “And the grateful Burghers went home to a region where customs, and homes, and traces of history far back of Napoleon's time, survive. } be | located on an up-to-date map as| northwest Yugoslavia, still discloses watch towers with thelr wooden clappers and beacon lights—the frontler radio alarm of the days when the Turks were always com- | ing. One still sees in rural regions| ruins of the great communal | ‘apartments’ of the Middle Ages— houses where the state bedroom was set aside for a ‘House Father, elected each year, and where ramb- ling tiers of rooms were added as children grew up and married. “These house communitics are| remnants of the military frontier civilization—a civilizaton that grew out of the area, nearly as Extl‘nshn‘ as that of Massachusctts, which was “The Croatian landscape, to NOT ALARMED OVER Holland Not Disturhed by Com- | persons under 18 years of age are | ien, he explgined, was not aimed at sct aside in the sixteenth cenaury, danger literally flew like fire when Invasion threatened. Peasant Embroidery . “Life was dangerous then in Crotla and it s hard today, but the women must have had ‘sewing circles’ in those old communal houses, For the Croatlan peasants have evolved a costume which fe considered one of the most colorful and beautiful in all Europe. They have only coarse cloth, and coarser thread, which by infinite stitching they combine into beautiful designs and color combinations, “This love of design finds expres- slon also in the old houses that dot the dry, hilly Croatlan landscape, corrugated by ranges of the Karst Mountains, Coal s mined, and thousands of the Croats who emi- grated to America work in the coal mines of western Pennsylvania. “The land is more fertile around Agram (or Zagreb) and Varasd (which also goes by the names of Varazdin and Warasdin), The latter town has about 12,000 people, who live by their trade in timber, fruit, wine, tobacco and pottery. | Ten miles south of Varasd are the | sulphur baths of Congtantine-Bad— baths which the Romans knew.” COLONY DISORDER munistic Activities The Hague, Holland, April 24,— People in Holland are paying a good deal of attention just now to reports of communist actlvities in thelr east- ern possessions.
