ANCIENT RACE DWELAS AMONG

Albania is a land of rugge.I noun tains inhabited by a race as wild as its crags. The Albanians are the kan Peninsula and have dwelt among their bleak hills from time tmmemo- rial They are StrikingIy similar in character to the Scotch highlanders of couple of centuries ago, being divided into many clans. and exhaust ing their savage energy in relentless blood-feu'1S- Their main interest in life is fighting, and it Is considered rather poor taste for an Albanian to die anything else than violent death Despite their excessive blood-thir5ti- ness they are chivalrous, hospitable and possessed of a keen sense of honor The Albanisns are, in fact, a band Of Homeric heroes fallen upon Q more prosaic age. They cannot be justly rated by modern standards.
 The present state of Albania is small country a little larger than Massachusetts, and with a population of some S00.0G0 souls---a trif1e less than the inhabitants of the Boroughs of Queens and the Bronx. This state was set up by the European Great Powers after the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. An at5tnitted compromise it satisfied none of the interested Bal kan parties The Albanians bitterly objected that nearly one-half of their race was left outside the national frontiers, many predominantly Alba pian districts having been assigned to

REFUGEES RETURN TO DES0LhTE AND

Red Cross Sends Supplies and Nurses to Care For
 Unfortunate.

Kavadar, Macedonia, July 1s- Correspondence of the Associate Press)-Without food. without cloth ing, without medical attention with hardly any growing crops promising relief when the harvest comes. 15.6 600 refugees of this district have returned and are desperately clinginE to the lit tie mountain farms which are their patrimony. Rather than abandon them they will die in the ruins and caves which today only half shield them from the elements.
 To this field the Balkan Commits sion of the American Red Cross has sent Captain R. M. Blakely, U. s. A. Medical Corps. of New Orleans. La, with five nurses and several carloads of supplies. Villages within a ra dius of 50 kilometers are now being serv- ed by the "Ameriwanska." Medicines are given at the dispcnsary. which never charges dtnar for it's services or for flour. clothing and other sup plies from the canteen. What that means to a people who have come back from exile. after three years of deprivation of the necessities of life, 
 be appreciated here on the spot.
 The station here at Kavadar is but one of hundreds of similar stations in Serbia. Albania, Montenegro, Herze- govina and Greece which the Balkan Commission of the American Red Cross has established.
 The townhall is used for an mfr mary. an empty house for food and clothing warehouse and an old mill has been made into a bakery. The dispensary Is crowded from morning to night. Some days 250 patients are treated. The maimed and stricken come from radius of thirty miles One patient was brought in on an OK cart after an urbroken journey of four days. Tuberculosis in every form. anaemia, and other ills tha, follow in the wake of underfeedi and poor housing have affected a third of the population.

COOPERATION IS

 TEXTILE EXPERT
Prepares for Engineer Work
 In Former Trade.

The European Corn Borer (pyrausta nibilalis) is known to be present in B towns fin the vicinity of Boston, Mas sachusetts. and Tn two widely sepa- rated areas in New York State. It has also been found in a small area around Milford. Connecticut. It has spread rapidly and there is a general belief that 1t may soon he found in other States For that reason every one is urged to cooperate in the con trol of this pest.
 This insect winters over as. a. cater pillar in cornstalks and some of the larger weeds About the middle of May it pupates and emerges as moth which lays q large number of eEgs, sometimes as many as 700. The caterpillars from these eggs feedi upon early corn and weeds and do consid- erablc damage. About the last of July these caterpillars pupate, and early in August another generation of moths appears. These lay their eggs (this time about 9o0) on corn and weeds (principally corn), and do a vast amount of damage. feeding on the stalks and ears of corn. One cat erpiIlsr which is present in the old cornstaik or weed in the early spring may be responsible for 515.O00 borers up to the first of September. It is this caterpillar, or borer, that passes the winter in the cornstalks and large gnrden weeds, such as pigweed. rag weed. barnyard grass and other thick stemmed plants.
 As this insect passes the winter in cornstalks and weeds. very effective destructive methods are offered. Pull up and burn all cornstalks with all old vines and all large weeds throughout and around the garden.

To Ward off Summer
 Complexion Ills

To keep the face smooth, white and beautiful all summer, there's nOthin g quite so good as ordinary mercOlized wax. Discolored or freckled skin, so common at this season, is gently, gradually absorbed by the wax and replaced by the newer. fresher skin beneath. The face exhibits no trace of the wax. which is applied at bed time and washed off mornings. Greasy creams, powders and rouges, on the other hand. are apt to appear more conspicuous than usual these days of excessive perspiration. Just get an ounce of mercolized wax at any drug store and use it like cold cream. This will help any skin at once and in a week or so the complexion will look remarkably clear, young and healthy.-AdV.

Paris in Wickedness

Paris has been known as the wick
eldest city in the world. 1t is herr
that men and women have been re
lputed to revel and live in luxury tina
knows no rival 1t is here that the
most stupendous crimes in history
have been committed. So it will be
agreed that Paris is an ideal setting
for the story of the "wickedest wom-
an" Such is Blanchette Dumonde,
| the heroine. whom Theda Bara por-
trays in "The Light" showing at the
Arcade tonight.
! Yet Dame Rumor made mistake
! when she dubbed Paris the wickedest
city in the world There is another
city, with an unpronouncable name,
and situated in Siberia. which beats
the reputation of Paris by a mile
lrkutsk has more murders in a year
than any other city in Christendom.
Its population numbers 10000.
Among these people more than 500
murders are committed each year.
Arrests average only one in every
fifty murders, and only half of the
arrests are followed by conviction.
Irkutsk once determined it would
have vigilance committee to rid the
city Of its criminal element. 1t had
one with vengeance. Ex-convicts
and active thugs enrolled themselves
by the score They formed an organ
ization. and in body volunteered for
service The Governor granted them
Exceptional powers. and the vigilance
committee took full advantage of
them. First they fixed" the police,
and then they instituted house in
spection" and penal confiscation."
In this way they were able to con-
duct systematic campaign of or
gained burglary. Neither persons
nor property were safe until the Wig
lance committee was abolished
So when you see "The Light" re-
member that there are cities even
more wicked than Paris ever was
