Albania's Progress
- -
Where Old Tires Replace Leather for Shoemaking, In Tirana.
Prer>ared by National GeoKraphic Society.
Washington. D. C.—WNU Service.
ALBANIA, which recently cele
brated the twentieth anni
versary of its freedom, is Eu
rope's newest kingdom. During the
first Balkan war, on November 28,
1912, Albania notified the world
that It no longer was a Turkish
province. The Turkish slug was
furled after waving over the Al
banians for 400 years. Since its in
dependence Albania lias been, suc
cessively. a protectorate, a repub
lic and a kingdom. The king was
crowned in 1928.
Not long ago Albania's 17,374
square miles were without modern
highways and railroads. Even Ti
rana. the capital, could be reached
only by traversing almost impassa
ble roads. Then came the war.
Ruinous war creates, at least
roads. When in 1918 the big guns'
thunder died away Albania, which
had been at once a battlefield and
a military corridor, found that she
had accumulated the nucleus of a
well-engineered road system and a
knowledge of motor transport.
Thus, instead of having slowly
evolved through the steam age and
Into the gasoline era, like the rest
of Europe, in a little more than a
decade she leaped from medieval
ism to modernism, from horses to
horse power.
Today the Albanian government
spends $200,000 annually in aug
menting those war-born highways.
The Albanian lowlander is being
stirred to road-consciousness by a
law which makes him personally
responsible, either in labor or
money, for the upkeep of 20 feet.
Profound social changes confront
him—him and the traveler. “I
reined in my horse” is byway of
being Junked in favor of “I shut oft
the motor.**
Picture of Transition.
Korea, which falls with Scutari,
Tirana, and GJinokastra (Argyo
<'astro) into the first-line category
of native towns numbering from
12.000 t<» 32.000 people, presents an
interesting picture of Alhaniu in
transition. Modern buildings rise
over ancient, cobbled alleys, and
fortresslike property walls which
guard occasionally glimpsed flower
gardens, charming family retreats,
somewhat in the Eastern style.
The Moslem quarter Is orientally
decorous with black-veiled women.
The Christian quarter is decorative
with Europe's knee-high skirts,
flesh-tint stockings, and bobbed
heads.
Here is progressiveness in the
form of an athletic Instructor, the
local representative of a country
wide system. And here Is hide
bound conservatism in the form of
Albanian mammas who regard any
sport played in running shorts and
followed by a cold shower as a
sure road to early death.
Then there is the story of the
draining of Igike Maliqi. A nascent
and ambitious government, wishing
to reclaim thousands of acres of
eultivatnble land, sold the conces
sion to a company. Its foreign en
gineers cut sluices, and the first
dredging machine ever seen in Al
bania was set up.
Now. some generations before,
the lake had been created by tor
rents which had rushed down the
hills, submerging several Tosk vil
lages. One of these days, so said
local Tosk tradition. Lake Maliqi
would recede, yielding hack to
grandsons the sublacustrine acres
of their grandsires.
Miraculously, as it were. Lake
Maliqi receded, revealing to the as- ,
tonished Tosk peasants' gaze their
long-lost chimney pots and ances
tral lands. With cries of thanks
giving. they rushed upon the scene
and started agriculture.
It is superfluous to depict their
confusion upon learning that prog
ress and not Providence had
worked the miracle; that the lake
bottom now belonged to a company
—whatever that might be—and that
they were actually trespassing on
their own ancestral acres.
Market Day in Korea.
Korea becomes transfigured every
. r ark»t day. Thither troop several
thousand peasants, each attired in
the colorful costume of his native
village. They have ridden or walked
for a day over the mountains, hop
ing to sell a few measures of grain,
a sheep, a horse, at the busy mart.
The horse market, Albania's larg
est, Is closely packed with stamp
Ing beasts and gesticulating men.
Every trick or test known to a
county-fair horse deal Is to be wit- 1
nessed here.
Among advanced civilizations an
automobile thief may possibly get
n Jail sentence. In more primitive |
Albania, where social conditions
often recall those of the pioneer
West, horse stealing means sudden
death. And so deals in Albanian
horse markets are concluded under
the eye of a civic official, who Is- i
sues to the purchaser a certificate
which attests to his bona fide‘‘buy.*’
Albania's mountain complex de- j
fles adequate description. To say
that the Dalmatian Alpine system j
prolongs itself Into southward- I
stretching ranges that form three
of Albania's boundaries, and that
this small kingdom, not as large as
New Hampshire and Vermont to
gether, contains numerous moun
tain chains, is to Indicate the
veriest elements of her topography, j
Albania once was Shkuperia, the
Land of the Men of the Eagle. If ,
some ancient Greek or Roman tour
ist had exclaimed, "So this Is A1 1
bania!” Shkupetars wouldn’t have j
known what country he was talking I
about Approximately nine cen- j
turies ago some foreigner, possibly
i finding “Shkuperia” an awkward
mouthful, expanded “alp” or "alb"
into “Albania,” as a name descrip
tive of the country’s white or
snowy uplands.
Eagle and Arrows.
The Shkupetars' name for them
selves goes back to the misty emer
gence of Balkan mountain tribes.
As shkep is the native word for
"rock,” the name may possibly im
ply “rock-dwellers," or "highland
ers." But Alhunian tradition, based
on Plutarch, offers n livelier deriva
tion. The Greek biographer relates
tl*et when the Epirote king. Pyrrhus,
was likened by his troops to an
eagle, the monnrch gracefully re
joined that they were ills arrows
which he used while soaring.
Thus ancient is the conception of
the Eagle and Arrows, a device
which, thousands of years later,
was to appear on the consular arms
of the United States. At any rate,
the Epirotes seized on King
Pyrrhus' compliment and proudly
dubbed themselves the Shkupetars, !
or Sons of the Eagle.
Modern Albanians will tell you
that they represent the most an
cient race in southeastern Europe.
Indeed, their language and tribal
customs suggest remote origins.
They are probably the descendants
of the ancient Illyrians, who in
turn derived from the Pelasgic root
race, of which we catch echoes in
Greek literature.
Albanian inns have not prog
ressed much beyond, sav. those of
the Deadwood coach era. Often j
you avoid the inn and Just sleep
where you can.
Tirana Going Modern.
Tirana, the capital, reveals a pic
ture of Albania westernizing her
self. Broad, electric-iit streets
neighbor fascinatingly hodgepodge
bazaar alleys. A line of brand-new
taxis, n row of pack mules, and a
string of modern motor lorries
throng the same square. Baggy
panta loaned Mohammedan chauf
feurs have discarded their olden
wand of office, the donkey-prodding
stick, to wrestle instead with the
tire pump. Far over the heads of
an unheeding crowd, who are im
bibing European drinks and dis
cussing trade, the lone muezzin
calls to prayer; hut it is as the
voice of one crying in the wilder
ness.
Not yet has this small-scale
kingdom achieved a favorable trade
I valance. Its exports—dairy prud j
nets, grain, hides, wool, asphalt,
charcoal —total annually about $2.-
."00.000. nn the other hand, its im
port values in sugar, cotton and
woolen fabrics, mineral oils, and
machinery approximate double that
amount. How offset the difference?
The mountains are believed to be
reh in minerals —gold. iron. coal,
copper, and others —hut the country
tins never been geologically sur
veyed. Oil talk and the actual pro- j
duction of oil in paying quantities
and of requisite quality are in tu- j
verse ratio to each other.

ONCE there was a Parent who
was so heated under the
Neck-Band that lie laid back
ids Ears and lifted ids Bristles and
vowed tliut he wouldn't stand for
any more Rough Comedy. He had
| been the Angora long enough. Papa
was fed up. Old Reliable was ready
to put on ids War Paint and Feath
ers and lift a few Sculps.
Os course you have guessed the
I Plot. It deals with the Younger Gen
eration. Once it was known as the
Rising Generation, hut that was be
! fore it Rose to such an Eminence
of Cussedness that it hit all the
High-Spots and could not be expect
ed to establish any more Altitude
Records without completely blow
ing the Lid off.
All of us know that any old-fash
ioned Dad who hops Into the Arena
and enguges In a Rattle with a
handsome and well groomed Hound
about 10 years old or a night-bloom
ing Deb is licked before the Gong
j sounds. The Old Folks have not a
single Decision in the Western
Hemisphere during the last Five
Years. Every time a Verbal Cham
pion goes against a bewildered Has-
Been. the result Is a Foregone Con
clusion.

Barking Words That Don’t Bite.
He tried to win his Argument by
making a lot of Noise. Tills is Faded

i the more helpless he felt, in the
| Presence of the titled Noses and
j the scornful Eye-Brow. He started
out as Caesar and finished up as a
mere Splutter.
He pulled a lot of new Regula

No more Inviting up to the House

In brief, the Program which Mr.
Grivets outlined with scathing Dic-
I tlon contemplated a Return to San

with an incidental Endorsement of
the Coolidge Doctrine of Economy.
After he had just about talked
himself hoarse without getting any
Results except a few pained Looks.
Edna took a long Pull at her Cork
Tip. and said: “Well. Pop. you are
barking very well this Morning, hut
you haven’t spilled anything except

“For the first time in the History
of the World, the Grivets Family is
making the First Page." suggested
Edna. “Wallie and I are putting it
over, in spite of you and the other
Handicaps. We are crashing into

“What’s more,” chimed in Wallie.
“this loud yelp about using that
broken-down Taxi is just a Giggle.
If you wasn’t such an Oof, you
wouldn’t expect two Headliners to
travel around in an old 1931 Model.
Why don’t you come out of your,
Doze and buy each one of us a
Rarer —something Snappy with real

! i “You want something that goes
with a Raccoon Coat,” suggested Fn

THE COOLIDGE
“The Raccoon Coat Is about six
weeks out of Date." replied Son, 1
with a weary shake of the Head,
suggesting that Dad was an incur
able Yap. “I have just ordered
one made of Manchurian Spotted
Fox. It will make ail the other
Laddies burst into Tears and I am
getting it for Four Hundred Bucks.”
“Europe will have all of the
War Debts paid before you earn
that much Money,” said Mr. Griv- :
ets. "You talk about Four Hundred
Dollars as if it were Something to
be picked off a Bush. If you don’t i
mind. I should like to have you two
Birds of Paradise remember that I
do not get my Money at a Pump.
I am just an old Frazzle, brought
up under the Prehistoric Conditions

terested In your Criminal Ambitions
is that lam supposed to finance all
your delightful little Expeditions
into the Underworld. Sometimes I
wonder what the Finish will be.
Probably your Mother and I won’t
live to see it.”
Fooling the Slickers.
"Oh, many Pishes and a couple
of Tushes!” exclaimed Edna. “Any
poor Gillie who expects his Daugh
ter to braid her Hair down the
Rack and play the Cottage Organ !
in these hoopla Days, doesn’t de
serve to have one. What would
you Rheumatic Relics do these j
Days if you didn’t have the Young
People to talk nbout? And did you
ever stop to think that if we stayed
home Evenings and played Authors, j
Crokinole, Jack Straws, and Tid- ;
dledy-Winks, all the Saxophone
Players would be out of Work, and
there would be a lot of Suffering?
“We are the busy little Life-
Savers of this transitional Period.
If it wasn’t for us, the Earth would
have a Crust on it. A lot of you
doddering Dummies who are stick
ing around after your licenses have

to pay the Expenses. We are giv- j
Ing you real Entertainment, but j
the Trouble is you are not keyed up
to it. It is too bad that we find in

Ituhes who get in by mistake. We'd
love to take you and Ma with us
if you could keep up and main- |
tain the Pace and exhibit some
Class, hut it's no use trying to show
you any Touches of High Life, be
cause neither one of you Is galted
to he a Stepper."
“The Situation is clearing up
somewhat," said Mr. Grivets. "I can
begin to see that your Mother and
I are wholly to blame. Either that,
or we should have sent both of you
to the Reform School about Ten
Y'ears ago.”
"You old Wlckles and Dlladads
make me plumb tired," said Wallie.
"Whenever several of our typical
Parents get together these Days,
they sit in a Back Room licking up
Scotch guaranteed to be a Week or
Ten Days' old. and worrying for
fear that the Young People are not
getting a good quality of Gin. Those
who haven't Fallen Arches still try |
to Dance, and most of those not

ing a Joke of some Good Law*. And
yet they are always roasting us j

“What’s a Jabbernowl?"
“I don’t know. I'm simply trying
to protect the Author. He writes
his Stuff at least a Month before it

the only Safe Plan is to coin a few
Words which mean Nothing and

King’s Verger to Retire;
Has Served Sixty Years
John Crisp, the verger at Sand-1
ringham church, is retiring on a j
pension granted hy the king after
60 years of service with royalty.
He has shown probably nearly
half a million people from all parts
over the beautiful church, with its
solid silver altar table and pulpit,
precious stones, and memorial win
dows and plaques of past members
of the royal family.
Before becoming verger. Mr. Crisp
was an attendant at the skittle al
leys at Sandringham house, where j
kings and emperors used to play, j
He remarked in connection with !
that work: “I have picked up the
pins (skittles) for nearly all the
monarchs of fifty to sixty years."
He is seventy-three years of age, 1
and probably the oldest employee
of the king, who is now pensioning
off his workers at sixty-five.
Mr. Crisp is rather sad at retir
ing, and feels the wrench after so
many years’ service. lie will also
receive the national pension.—Mon-

Our Government
—How It Operates
By William Bruckart
BUREAU OF STANDARDS
AN ELDERLY guide at the Smith
sonian institution, the wonder
of wonders and storehouse of the
interesting, was asked by a tourist
on an occasion what the purpose of
the institution was. Ills reply epito
mized the place in these words: “It
shows what people hare done."
I am Indebted to him, therefore,
for the thought that the bureau of
standards shows what people are
doing. And there can be no more
accurate description, albeit: to state
fully its meaning and to comprehend
its scope It must be expanded and
expanded until one’s mental proc
esses grow foggy.
Some years ago, a friend of mine
who has devoted many years to the
public service as an expert in the
j bureau of standards. Invited me to
ride in his car to my destination
at another point in the city. Upon
entering his automobile I was sur
prised to find a veritable battery of
taxicab meters operating In the ton
neau of the machine. Ills explana
tion of their presence may be used
to illustrate the type of work per
formed by the bureau:
“We never have known whether |
taxi meters are accurate. In other |
words, we have been unable to say
positively whether persons hiring
taxicabs are cheated by the ma
chines that register the fare. By in
stalling these meters aud using this
car normally, we get a test of them
under all sorts of conditions of op
eration. The speedometer on the
car is tested regularly so that we
can check against it. We will know
In about two months whether any
or all of these meters give the pub
lic a square deal."
Such is one phase of the work
done at the bureau of standards
and all of it has its end and aim,
the making of this a better world
in which to live. Its accomplish
ments In this direction are endless,
because those scientists are tireless
in their pursuit of knowledge.
It will be Impossible In a brief
space to set out even a small por
tion or outline of the work done In
the bureau, a place that to my hum
ble mind contains more thrills than
ever have been concentrated under
! one roof anywhere else in the world,
j But when one recalls that by per
sistent effort bureau experts have
persuaded scores of commercial
lines to do away with countless
styles and types of products and to
concentrate on standardized designs,
all as means of reducing the cost
to the consumer, some idea Is given
of the dollars and cents value of
the work accomplished. Take for
example, bolts and nuts. One can
buy them anywhere in this land and
If he calls for a certain type, that
type will be supplied whether it is
manufactured in the city of Pitts
burgh or San Francisco.
Experiments have been carried on
at the bureau for years respecting
the best methods of heating homes
and the best methods for steam pro
duction, always with the view of
; economical operation In view.
A chemistry division operates one
of the great laboratories of the
country, testing, testing, testing.
Thousands of chemicals that reach
the public, ready for economical
use and prepared to meet the every
day needs of one unskilled in han
dling delicate instruments, are bet
ter today because the scientists of
the bureau of standards devoted
many months to experimentation.
Development of the airplane has
brought with It many and varied
problems. The bureau set about
solving them. Some of them are me
chanical, purely; others deal with
natural forces. That explains why
there is a gigantic wind tunnel in
operation at the bureau. Air is
forced through at every speed and
at every angle and against propellers
i operated with certain horsepower
behind them. The calculations ar
rived at enable engineers to know
what weaknesses to avoid in plane
! construction.
And so it is, too, with tests made
of such commonplace things as elec
| trie light bulbs. They are actually
burned out. Tests are made with
filaments of every known substance;
used for that purpose, and combina- j
tions of substances are tried. Man
ufacturers have the direct benefit J
of these experiments, of course, but;
the ultimate consumer gains event-j
I nally through lower prices on qual- j
; ity products.
Almost constant experiments are j
; carried on at the bureau with ma- j
terials used for dyes, dyes for cloth,:
; colors for paints, for inside and out- j
' side decorative purposes, for metals, j
; etc. The fastness must be known; \
j the condition under which they will |
fade are developed conclusively if
I they fade at all, and means of cor-;
recting that weakness are looked
for. The scientists experiment with
the cloth or the metal or wood, or
whatever other base is used, to as
certain what results are brought
about by a different foundation for
the colors. When they get through
one job of testing, those men and
women can be said to know the
truth. But it seems that instead
of the truth making them free, it
merely starts them off again in
search of something else that will
be helpful in your life and mine.

Chic Snow Togs Gay With Color
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
I JnHK / 7 x
y*
HU, HU, ho 1 Who wouldn't go,
up on the hill top far, far
far away? Come on up, the snow's
fine. Let's go!
Whether we be snow-faring fans
or among those who elect to join
the style parade under sunny skies
"where summer spends the winter,”
the “what-to-wear" problem L ever
with us. So let’s spend a few
moments with Dame Fashion and
see what she has to say upon the
subject.
To begin with those who skate
and ski and toboggan and frolic in
the snow are expected to follow as
meticulous style program us does
milady who promenades along sun
warmed beaches or dances to the
rhythmic sway of waving palms
under tropical starry skies.
A most important lesson which
fashion teaches is the value of color
—flamboyant, audacious color. If
you please. A formula for color
which the smart set Is adopting en
thiislastlcally for winter sports out
fits Is gray for the basic color with
accessories in a riot of brilliant
greens, blues, reds and orange
tones. Over a swanky gray costume
consisting of trousers in darL gray
with a tuck-in sweater In lighter
tone, the neckband and wristbands
knitted in vivid stripes, she who
skates wears a patchwork suede
lacket, in lumberjack fashion, which
startles the eye with its vivid col
oring, being formed of swatches of
blue, green, red and yellow suede
sewed together in crazy-quilt fash
ion, with enough gray suede worked
in to relate It to the gray of the
sweater and trousers with which if
is worn.
It does not look its high color in
the picture, but if the skirt-and-
GOLD AND SILVER
SLIPPERS RETURN
The fashion tip given by one of
the better shoe houses is to dye the
heels and bows of an opera pump
to match the gown or the acces
sories. This same house is show
ing a slipper that can be said al
most to embody every color of the
rainbow in a vivid pattern.
Velvet slippers are exceedingly
smart. Many of them have straps
and Intricate trimmings of gold or
silver kidskin. Some have both.
Returned to favor are kidskin gold
and silver slippers. A new note
is a combination of the gold and
; silver.
The brocades are very smart.
They are trimmed with the gold or
j silver kidskin. Some houses are
; showing a trim of opaque kidskin.
There are 'satin and moire com
| binations to be had and crepe slip
pers to be dyed.
Plump Figured Ladies
Adopt Two-Piece Dress
The sculptural lines have evi
dently been too great a -ax -n the
figures of many women, or rather
rtie figures have raxed too greatly
rhe nerves of dress sculptors, be
| cause of a sudden now, one is dis
| covering a good many smart women
; wearing two-piece dresses. This is
a great break after the past seasons
of trying to look like a plaster re
lief. And those who aren’t adopt
ing the two piece news are almost
gulping down the lowered waistline.
Hatback I* Need
The strong popularity of the Vic
torian coiffure that sweeps all the
curls to the back of rhe head makes
the elevated hatback practically im
perative.
jacket suit worn by the young
woman playing Ice-hockey In the
picture could be seen in the orig
inal it would eertainly qualify as
being plenty colorful. The trimly
buttoned and belted jacket Is of
bright red corduroy. It is lined
with natural chamois. The skirt
is of rich green suede leather. Its
buttoned-down-the-front fastening Is
the last word for sportswear.
Included among timely sugges
tions for conservatively smart snow
suits are types such as tiie model
shown to the right in the picture.
It is made of navy gabardine which
is so generally worn, it lias become
almost a tradition in the sports
realm. Variety is afforded by the
plaid lining which is woven in flam
ing colors.
The commendable thing about
modern winter sports togs is that
no matter how pictorial they may
be they never sacrifice the practi
cal.
The sportswoman who knows ner
fashions never thinks of wearing a
jacket or blouse which does not
fasten with u metal slide or some
such arrangement That is if she
be not intrigued with some other
equally ns deiiendable a gadget such
as, for Instance, the new fastening
created by Schiaparelli which slips
small wooden knobs through leather
thongs. A row of 'em is warranted
to “doll up" any ski or skate suit
to the snow queen’s taste. Howso
ever to do the trick without osten
tation you will please to note the
pullver blouse picured above In the
group, which fastens with a metal
slide at the back of the neck. The
collar and gloves are striped in pale
blue and brown.

prettily after this fashion. The list
of flattering dinner jacket! Includes
some very dainty fantasies made of
choice lact either black o> tn ecru
