Quaintness of The Albanian
People and Their Ways Are
ToldBy Authority In Paris

PARIS, Feb. IS Sahara is better
known and Thibet is scarcely more
mysterious than Albania" says one of
the few authorities in Paris familiar
with the Businesses of Albania into
which the newest ramifications of the
European conflict have extended.
"a dozen and half mountain rang
es, from 500 yards to 5000 yards high,
a dozen and half valleys with as
many streams; twice as many ravines
and gorges and as many different
tribes as there are mountains, valleys,
ravines and gorges; that is Albania, .
he says, more primitive and more
savage than the primitive and savage
Montenegro that it resembles only
geologically.
"The Serbains, fleeing before the OF.
toman conqueror of the Serbian En-
pire, took refuge in Montenegro (The
Black Mountain) because its rough
ness made pursuit difficult and it's
poverty made its conquest scarcely
worth while. The same conditions
have preserved Albania from outside

everything in it, yet it resembles moth
ing else in the form of language; all
it has borrowed from Turkish, Italian
or Serbian having lost it's original
form. Every foreign word introduced
became promptly Albanian that its
origin could not be suspected
"A vest of wool that was once white,
striped trousers, and cape over a
shaved head identify an Albanian, of
whatever tribe. The Montenegro, more
picturesque with his red vest and
gorgeous embroidered belt bristling
with poignards, has some contem 1t toe

Both are also sharpshooters par
excellence, as the Serbians charmed in
their epic retreat over the rough coun-
try of the Malissores and the Mirdites,
toward Scutari There in the north
dwell the most ferocious of Albanian
tribes, amenable to no overtures of
Cancellation. Centuries of constant con-
flict with their Turkish masters on
one side, and their Montenegrin neigh
bors on the other failed to chastea

the snow-blocked defiles on the road to
Scutari For these Albanians were
destined the cargo of arms and am
munition of Austrian origin captured
by the Allies in the Adriatic.
Manners and customs vary little
with different tribes. Everywhere the
real character of the people is illus
trated by the relentless vendetta that
kills off all the men, excepting idiots,
in their prime. There are no aged AL
bania excepting women. In Southern
Albania, however, there is somewhat
more gayety and comradeship; the
tribes are more open to advances; it
is from these Essad Pasha recruits the
partisans who enable him to neutralize
the hostility of the Northern tribes to
all efforts at civilization and develop

specialized. When he tours he wants
the best obtainable for touring, which
means great power. reasonable wheel
base, large wheels and ample carry
ing capacity. This demand brought
the big car into being. In the city
the experienced owner wants snap
piness in the motor, a short turning
radius and economy of maintenance,
because his city driving is more near
ly routine matter, and he naturally
looks to maintenance cost. This spe-
ctalized requirement meant a smaller,
reasonably powered car.
From n SiX-cylinder motor of
given size the best of these two wide
ly different types of service cannot
be obtained; consequently until this
year we have made 1t a practice to
manufacture each season more than
one type OF car. The development of
our eight-cylinder motor, however,
makes it possible now for us to conse-
crate on a single ch1sis. The great
power and fleXibility of the properly
constructed multiple cylinder motor
adapts 1t admirably to the require
ments of touring and city work alike.
From a manufacturing standpoint
the advantages of concentrating on a
single model are indeed great. These
advantages are reflected in the price
of the new Peerless Eight. Includ-
ing the very finest equipment, upon
which we have always insisted, the
price for the model is less than one
third of what two years ago we were
forced to charge for the big '60-Six,
to which the new eight is comparable
in performance"

the grades were icy and many of the

only by logging crews and sleighs.
Crossing the Chestnut ridge, after a
lively snowstorm, Mcnamara warmed

The finish was attained without a
motor stop and with but two delays,
both short, one caused by freight

Maxwell characteristic. We jumped

WILLYS-KNIGHT
CAR BIG SUCCESS
Sleeve-Type Motor on One of
Models Made by WHY'S
Overland Company

a car that is arousing unusual in
terest in this field is the new four
cylinder forty-horsepower WHY'S
Knight at $1,095. Carl Hansen, sales
manager of the Overland Harrisburg
Co, local distributors, reports that
those already in use are giving perfect
satisfaction. This is the lowest price
at which a car with the knight type
of motor has ever been offered. Up to
the present writing there has been a
veritable famine in this new product
of the great WHY'S Overland plant.
The important difference between
the Knight type and the poppet valve
type motor is that the knight has
sleeves instead of valves. There are
two of these sleeves, one inside the
other, sliding up and down between
the cylinder wall and the piston. Each
sleeve is provided with openings
which at the proper moment in the
operation of the motor come opposite
each other, thereby permitting a
change of fresh gas from the car
buretor to enter the combustion cham
ber and likewise providing means for
the burnt gases to pass out into the
muff1ers The action of the sleeves
is absolutely positive, as they are
opened and closed by positively oper-
ated connecting rods eliminating any
uncertainty as to the time or extent of
the opening.
Mr.. Hansen points out that the
sleeves of the Knight motor do not
have to be made TO tight fit to hold
compression. as is true of the piston,
and while in operation. they are al
ways covered with fllm of oil. This
dissipates the common impression
that the operation of a sleeve valve
might offer some difficulty.
The car itself in stock models Is a
large and powerful five-passepger

THE MOTOR CAR OUTLOOK

Cadillac Motor Car Co.
The outlook for the coming wear is
not lacking in encouragement for the
we'll organized automobile manufac-
turers whose product has established
itself in the confidence of automobile
users. It would be difficult to name
,an industry which rests on a more Sc
cure foundation than that portion OF
the automobile industry which COM
prises properly constructed, honestly
made motor cars.
The universal demand for the trans
port of passengers and material will
continue while our civilization stands.
The intrinsic merit of the motor car
for that purpose insures permanency
TO the industry.
The period Of evolution through
which the automobile industry is pass
ing may temporarily embarrass those
manufacturers whose product is not
thoroughly established. Intelligent
discrimination in buying motor cars
will be manifest this year to greater
extent than ever before.
The coming year will demonstrate
the firm hold which the honestly made
motor car has on the American public
We believe that the adherence 10

factor i'm the constant increase in the

NEW MARK ACROSS
THE ALLEGHENIES
Mcnamara in Maxwell Sets
New Philadelphia-Pitts-
burg Figures

With the peaks of the Alleghenies
hollows full of drifted snow, Ray Nc
Namara, in a 25-horse power Maxwell
has amazed all Pennsylvania motor
dom by driving from Philadelphia to
Pittsburgh - 294 miles - in eight
hours, nineteen minutes.
The former record, set last June by
y. ,G Vincent in a high-powered ~
cylinder car was nine hours, twenty
minutes.
McNamara's run was thoroughly
checked by newspaper men at both
ends and at York, Bedford and Ligo-
nier along the route.
The road between the two chief cit
les of Pennsylvania has long been a
favorite testing ground for automobile
manufacturers, on account of the
steep grades and the rough nature OF
the highway which, for most of the
distance. crosses in succession the
parallel ranges of the Allegheny noun
tains. In winter, however, the course
is usually left to local traffic.
The record over the course has al
ways been subject for competition,
though prior attempts have been con-
fined to the season of longer daylight
and more favorable road conditions

small hours of the morning to avoid
urban traffic and covered half his route

male births over female. The pro- pogandaists for "dotless" marriages have therefore been doing a little in- vestigating and find ample cause for rejoicing. In one of the maternity hospitals in Paris in a single day in May, there were 23 births of which q were boys. In another hospital on the same day there were IT births of which 16 were boys. This has been established as being about the average for Paris at present. The same in- vestigation in the rural districts are even more encouraging.
 While therefore the propoganGaists realize that immediately following the close of hostilities, the dearth of men, brought about through military and naval losses, will place the groom very much at a premium, yet they figure that by 194O and 1850 they can count on such an abundance of potential grooms and such dearth of potent ial brides as to place the latter at a premium regardless of "dots."

Baseball News
 By HAMILTON

NEW YORK, Sept IA new star has flashed among the great second basemen in the American league.
 Buried among the substitutes on the bench of the New Ycrk Yankees, and used as an outfeder, a first baseman and a pinch hitter, Charley Mullen a short time ago got into the game as a second baseman after he had form ed a habit of breaking up games with hits in the pinches.
 Mullen's hitting during the conval- essence of number of the New York stars was a real bright spot in the playing of that club. He first jumped into prominence in a game against Detroit when he doubled with two runers on and tied the score. Eventually New York won that game.
 Again, in New York, two runners were on the sacks in a game with Cleveland and New York needed two runs to tie the score. Mullen was sent in to hit for the pitcher and he re- sponded with a double against the left field wall which sent the tieing runs across.
 Mullen was sent to second base a few days later to supplant Joe Gede- on, whose hitting since the first few weeks of the season has been practi- cally nil. Mullen's first days work as a regular consisted of three hits,
 1em sending the winning runs across the rubber. That game helped
