Out Of Old Albania.

Save in Epirus, where Greek culture
holds the towns, and even the Moslem
Albanians Of the hills write (when
they can write at all) in Greek letters
no foreign influence has yet invaded
the intimate life of this exclusive race
Individual Albanians have, indeed
given their talents to bring unity OF
order to the life of other peoples. Halt
the captains by land and sea Of the
Greek wars of independence were AL
banians from Epirus or the isles
Crispi came from the Albanian col
ony In Sicily; the khedivial family
imposed itself on Egypt; the las,
grand vizier of the old regime in Tur
key was South Albanian magnate
But no native church, no native litera,
ture, no local field for statesmanship
has yet exercised the talents Of Z
race which IL certainly not the least
gifted Of tho Balkan peoples. Until
recently an Albanian educated was q
Albanian lost. .+f5i3 -. -

WILL WALK ON BEAUTY
TO MAYORS OFFICE
Ceramic Mosaic Tiling" for
Second Floor of City Hall.
Cost $500

Life to the taxpayer is just one bill after
another. First the marble halls" numerous
"land-grabs." then jobs for Mayor Smiths
family and $4,000 for refurnishing the
Mayors suite of rooms at City Hall and
now $500 for placing outside the Mayors
rooms on the second floor of the Hall tiling
that is not of the ordinary.
Bids for the tiling-"ceramlc MOSAIC till
ing'-were opened today by the Depart
ment of Public Works. To please the
esthetic eyes of the many counselors the
tiling will be bordered in dull colors to
harmonize with the color scheme, while
just outside the Mayors door the plans call
for the seal of the city, The City Of
Brotherly Love. to be inlaid in mosaic.
The tiling will extend about 200 feet or
so from the elevator entrance to the doors
Jof the Municipal Court-and no further.
The announcement of the bid was re-
ceived with many smiles around the corri-
doris, especially those in which Penrose-Mc-
Nichol men are still housed.
Last February the Mayor called a halt
on the salary increase and vetoed an adj
vance in salary of from $500 TO 500 year
for a janltor in one of the city offices,
stating at the time that he would not stand
for increases or new positions except where
the actual need existed.

MISS KEAN IS MODEST
AFTER RECORD SWIM
Lansdowne Girl Who Did 26
Miles in Delaware River
Says "It's Nothing"

Miss Anna c. Kean, twenty years old ~
l.ahsdowne is today receiving congratula- :
tlons following her twenty-six-miIe swim,
SesteTuay IN the Delaware River She made
record for all American women swim.
water ''''e III
Il didn't train hard for this swim" said
MISS hean today. IAN I did was swim a
mile each day for the last week. sleep nine
s nours and eat whatever | felt like eating.
rms idea of training for months and
mohths Tor a swim | don't think is entirely
practical or really necessary | had never
swan any great distance before but lately
decided to try the Delaware River swim.
reel fne with the exception of my ewes
ana they sting terribly from that dirty old
DeiaWare River water. II certainly is the
dirtiest water l have ever been in"
swimming. l think is the best sport of
all ana | have enjoyed IL for the last eight
years. Every girl who wishes to enjoy per-
rect health should swim, for It's Just the
pest way In the world for a girl to de-
yelop physically. and you certainly do feel
fine after good long swim"
MISS kean does not think or hardly
reallze Just what she accomplished yester-
day when, after a battle against wind, tide
ana choppy river. she covered a distance
OF twenty-six miles, establishing a record
Tor women swimmers in this country, and
this without having trained.
MISS kean used the double-overarm
stroke during the entire swim, only stop
ping for few minutes to take a cup of
chocolate and a slice of eating chocolate.
Il did not suffer from the cold" she said,
as the water was very warm. Only my
shoulders felt Chilled for they were con-
stantly exposed to the wind, which, as you
know, was chilly. but after l had been
in the water a short time / became acus-
toned to even this. Really, l thoroughly
enjoyed the swim, but / will not do any
more long-distance swimming this year"
Miss Kean is an accomplished musician
and cares more about that and exercise
than anything else.
Her swimming ability Is due to the ex-
cellent instruction she received from her
father, Andrew b. Kean, who many years
ago was one of the best-known swimmers
in America and instrumental, with George
Kssler, in forming the old Philadelphia
Swimmers Association, which was the first
swimming club to be formed in this city
