Prcpnrod by the National CSooftraphlo Society. Wnshlniston. D. C .-W N U .Service. A LBANIA, which recently cele­ brated the twentieth anniver­ sary of its freedom, is Europe’s newest kingdom. During the .first Balkan war, on November 28, 3012, Albania notified the world that It no longer was a Turkish province. The Turkish flag was furled after waving over the Albanians for 400 years. Since its Independence Albania has been, successively, a protectorate, ; a republic 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 Tirana, the cap­ ital, could be reached only by travers- . Ing almost impassable roads. Then : came the war. Ruinous war creates, at least, roads. When in 191S 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 j leaped from medievalism to modern- j ism, from horses to horsepower. Today the Albania government spends $200,000 annually In augment­ ing.. those war-born highways.. The Al­ banian 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 ‘ by way .of being junked in favor of “I shut off the motor.” Picture of Transition. Korea, which falls with Scutari, Tirana, qnd Gjinokastra (Argyo-Cas- tro) Into the first-line category of na- i five towns numbering from 12,000 to 32,000 people, presents an interesting \ picture of Albania in transition. Mod­ e rn buildings rise over ancient, cob- 1bled alleys, and fortresslike property ’ walls' which, guard occasionally glimpsed fiower gardens, charmlDg family retreats, somewhat in the East­ ern style. tHay mountains, rolling along on os-drawn wains, block Main street, to the despair of yelling chauf­ feurs. • 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 countrywide sysr tern. And here Is hidebound conserv­ atism In tile form of Albanian mam­ mas 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 drain­ ing of Lake Mallqh A nasceflt and ambitious government, wishing to re­ claim thousands of acres of cultlvnt- able land, sold the concession to. a company. Its foreign engineers cut sluices, and the first dredging ma­ chine ever seen in Albania was set up. Now, some generations before, the lake had been created by torrents which had rushed down the hills, sub­ merging several Tosk villages. One of these days, so said local Tosk()tra­ dition. Lake Mali ,1 would recede, yielding back to grandsons the sub- lacustr.ne acres of their grandslres. Miraculously, as It were, Lake Ma* liqi receded, revealing to the aston­ ished Tosk peasants’ gaze their long* lost chimney pots and ancestral lands. With cries of thanksgiving, they rushed upon the scene and started agriculture. It Is superfluous to depict their con­ fusion upon learning that progress and hot Providence had worked the miracle; that the lake bottom now belonged to a company—whatever that might be—and that they were ac­ tually trespassing on their own an­ cestral acres. That’s ail. But, should you over visit the Lake Mallqi region, don’t praise land reclamation to the local Tosks unless you want to be mobbed. Market Day In Korea. Korea becomes tranafigqred every . market (lay. 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, hoping to sell a few measures o f grain, a sheep, a horse, at the busy mart. The horse market, Albania’s larg­ est, is closely packed with stamping beasts and gesticulating men. Every trick or test known to a county-fair horse deal Is to be witnessed here. Among advanced civilizations an automobile thief may possibly get a jail sentence. In more primitive Al­ bania, 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 of­ ficial, who Issues to the purchaser a certificate which attests to his bona fide “ buy.” Albania’s mountain complex defies adequate description. To say that the Dalmatian Alpine system .prolongs itself into southward-stretching ranges that form three of Albania’s bound­ aries, and that this small kingdom, not as large as New Hampshire and Vermont together, contains numerous mountain chains, is to indicate the veriest elements of her topography. Yet It is an “open-and-shut” coun­ try, to borrow the native name for a certain rug pattern. This consists of rows of diamond-shaped diagrams, end to end, running across the fabric. In likening It to Albania’s topography, the didmonds may be said to repre­ sent'her “open” spaces, while the touching apexes represent the almost “shut” defiles through which one jour­ neys from luxuriant plain to plain. , Albania once was Shkuperia, the Land of the Men of the Eagle. If some ancient Greek or Roman tourist had exclaimed, “ So this' is Albania!’’ Shkupetnrs wouldn’t have known what country he was talking ahout. Ap­ proximately nine centnwies ago. some foreigner, possibly finding “ Shkuperia" an awkward mouthful, expanded “alp” or "alb" Into “Albania,” as a name descriptive 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 imply , “ rock- dwellers,” or “highlanders.” But Al­ banian tradition, based on Plutarch, offers a livelier derivation. The Greek biographer relates tliat wheh the Epirote king, Pyrrhus, Was likened by his troops to an eagle, the monarch gracefully rejoined that they were his arrows which he used while souring. Thus ancient is the conception, of the Eagle and Arrows, a device which, thousands o f years later, was to ap­ pear on the consular arms of the Unit­ ed States. At any rate, the Epirotes Seized on King Pyrrhus' compliment and proudly dubbed themselves the Shkupetare, or Sons of the Eagle. Modern Albanians will tell you that they represent the most ancient race in southeastern Europe. Indeed, their language and tribal customs suggest remote origins. They are probably the descendants of the ancient Illy­ rians, who in turn derived from the Pelasgic root race, of which we catch echoes In Greek literature, Albanian inns have not progressed much beyond, say, those of the Dead- wood coach era. Often you avoid the Inn and just sleep where you can. Tirana Going Modern, Tirana, the capital, reveals a pic­ ture of Albania westernizing herself. Broad, electric-lit streets neighbor fascinatingly hodgepodge bazaar al­ leys. A line of brand-new taxis, a row of pack mules, and a string of modern motor lorries throng the same square. Bnpgy-pantalooned Moham­ medan chauffeurs have discarded their olden wand of office, the donkey-prod­ ding stick, to wrestle Instead with the tire pump. Par over the beads of an unheeding crowd, who are imbib­ ing European drinks and discussing trade, the lone muezzin calls to prayer; bat it is as the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Not yet has this small-scale king­ dom achieved a favorable trade bal­ ance. Its exports—dairy products, grain, hides, wool, asphalt, charcoal- total annually about $2,500,000. On the other hand, its import values In sugar, cotton and woolen fabrics, min­ eral oils, and machinery approximate double that amount How offset the difference? The mountains are be­ lieved to be rich In mlnernis—gold. Iron, coal, copper, and others—-but the country has never been geolog­ ically surveyed. Oil talk and the nc- tunl production of oil In paying quan­ tities and of requisite quality are In inverse ratio to each other* NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate of Sarah E, Mitchell, Deceased _ J, E.

Jesus Eating With Publicans and Sinners (2:13-17). 1. The call of Levi (v. 14). Lev! was a tux gatherer under the Roman government. As Jesus passed by he commanded him to leave’ his business and follow him, 2. Jesus dining in Levi’s house (v. lfi). It seems that when Levi found the Saviour, he invited many of tits business associates to eat with ,hlm. This gave a fine opportunity for Jesus to come into touch with' some of these sinners. 3. The perplexed scribes and Phari­ sees (v. 10). They asked, “How is it that be enteth and drinketh with pub. licans and sinners?” The question carried with It the charge that Christ was ' having fellowship ’ with sinning men. 4. Jesus’ reply (v, 17). “They that ire whole have no need of the phy­ sician: I came not to call the right­ eous, but sinners to repentance." The veiled charge of moral carelessness on- 'he part of the Lord could .not be de­ nied if Jesus wus a mere man. Jesus recognized the moral condition of his associates and declared that he had come ns the divine Physician to heal : heir spiritual maladies. Surely, no physician could cure sick folk without coining into contact with them. ^ II. Jesus and Fasting (2:18-22). 1. TIte question asked (v.’ 18Y They, islced why Christ’s disciples did not !‘ust. This objection suggests a lack of seriousness of purpose on the part of the disciples. The fast indicated solemnity and seriousness of purpose, iohn the Bnptist was now In prison, therefore his disciples would naturally mourn and fast for him. 2. Christ’s answer (vv. 19-20). “Can lie children of the bride chamber fast while the bridegroom Is with them?” The joy of Christ’s disciples in pres- -nt congenial companionship prevent­ ed their fasting. He declared, how­ ever, that the time would come when they would fast. 3. New wine in old bottles (vv. 21, .'2). He proceeded to illustrate this by figures of cloth and wine skin. The lord’s purpose was to show the folly of imposing old customs on the new •tge. III. Jesus and the Sabbath (2:23* 2:6). 1. The disciples plucking ears of corn on the Sabbath (w . 23-28). a. Charge made agulnst the dls- , clples (vv, 23, 24). That they had vio­ lated the Sabbath law. For this act the Pharisees accused them of law­ lessness^ The Plinrlsees had glosBed over the Sabbath law with so nanny regulations thnt It became a .burden. b. Jesus defends them (vv. 25-28). (1) He cites a precedent (vv. “ 5, 26)'. David, the great king of Is­ rael, hnd gone Into ,the house of God and eaten the bread which Bhould be eaten only by the priests. The/hlgher law of human need warranted David’s breaking the law In this case. (2) Fie shows the nature of the Sabbath law (v. 27). The Sabbath was made for man. therefore its right use is to be determined by the good of man. (3) Jesus is the Lord of the Sab hath (v. 28). It was Jesus who insti­ tuted If when creation was finished. ITierefore. he had a right to use It as it pleased him for man’s good. 2. Jesus healing a man’s withered hand on the Sabbath (3:1-6). a. The place (v. t). It was in the synagogue, the place of worship. b. The Pharisees watching (v, 2). The motive which actuated their watching was an evil one. c. The man an example (v. 8). Jesus wanted the case to be open to nil, so he commanded the nmn to stand forth where all .could see him. d. The question asked (v. 4). “Is It lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do; evil, to save life*or to' kill?” He plainly showel them thnt to fall to do good, to show works of mercy, to save life. Is to be guilty of wrongdoing, even of murder, e. The man healed (v, 5), Christ healed him by spenktng the word. f. The result (vv. 4, 0L The Phari­ sees were silenced. They sought how t4liey might put him to death. The Spirit^ Power If ever we rise again to conscious life, it will be by no native power, but by the operation of the Spirit of God; nml. unless the Spirit dwell In us, su­ perstition may have an idol, con­ science a taw, philosophy a name, but the heart has no God.—F H.
