10 days by the Interstate Commerce

missioners of New Jersey, who were
without jurisdiction in the matter
themselves, received numerous protests
as soon as the revised tariff was post

to hold up the increases until various
communities in New Jersey had the op-
portunity to oppose them at public

Old Customs in Andes

Huancayo is one of the most inter-
esting cities of Peru. 1t lies near the
south end of wide portion of the
Manboro Valley, and hence is an i'm
portant agricultural region devoted
largely to the raising of barley. Its
elevation is too high for fruits of
similar crops. In the winter it enjoys
perpetual sunshine, which, in the high
dry air, possess an agreeable warmth.
AS the centre of the trade of the sur
rounding country it is famous for its
market, which in magnitude and in
terest ranks second only to the famous
Indian market of La Paz in Bolivia
(according to Professor Edward
Berry and Professor Joseph T. Sim
glewald, Jr., of the Williams Me-
mortal Expedition to South America,
in letter to the Baltimore News).
AS in all South America, the great
market day is Sunday morning, which
we were to miss seeing on account of
leaving on Saturday. This was an
other reason that made us regret the
"Yanqui" promptness of our animals.
However, market day on a smaller
scale is every morning, so that we did
not completely miss seeing the Huan-
cayo market.
The native market of Andean
towns epitomizes very successfully the
native life-the smallness of scale and
simplicity to which the needs or neces-
sites of man can be reduced even in
a comparatively rigorous climate, if
he is satisfied to or knows no better
than merely to exist. The market
people are chiefly women. They
squat in the street with their wares
spread in front of them. In many
instances their entire stock consists of
one llama load, that is, 100 pounds;
yet each has tramped at least one
day, and possibly two or three days,
to reach the market. The meagre
profits of business of that magnitude
are ample to justify the journey.
Their wares usually consist of small
pile of potatoes, pile Of ali (the uni

districts of Macedonia, Thrace and
Albania, was moved eastward by the
Treaty of London (1913). The
new boundary started at Enos on the
Adriatic coast and ran to Midia on
the Black Sea, giving Adrianople to
the Bulgarians. In the second Balkan
war Adrianople was recovered.
In the course of the Great War of
1914-18, the Allies freed Mesopo-
tamia, Palestine and Syria from Tur-
kish rule, and tribal revolts in Arabia
ended Turkish suzerainty in that pen
insula. Turkeys rule in Europe is
now restricted to the European villa
vets of Constantinople, Chatalja and
Adrianople. The British Premier has
declared that the countries freed from
Turkish rule will not again be SUBJ
jected thereto. Latest reports show
that Turkey is in very unsettled
state, with threats of revolt and hos
tilities against the Allied powers, the
results of which cannot be foreseen.

wood. She has few piles of twisted,
gnarly sticks of wood which she has
carefully counted out and estimated
with her eyes. Fuel is one of the
scarcest products of the country, and
both buyer and vender scruitinize the
stock most carefully-the vender to
see that she does not give more than
is absolutely necessary to make a sale,
the buyer to see that she gets as much
as possible for her money. Another
has pile of bread in front of her in
small, round pieces, hard as rock,
and made without salt. Still another
who came from a greater distance has
a small pile of ruit-shivelcd green
apples and perhaps few oranges.
While on the subject of business in
the native Andean towns, few words
concerning the stores may I've added.
The front room OF nearly every house
is store, which undoubtedly, in part,
accounts for the scarcity of customers.
The stock is almost invariably the
same, as is also its arrangemnt. Close
to the door is a small counter, back of
which are three or four dingy shelves.
AT least two of the shelves are filled
with dark green bottles that contain
aguardiente, the "frewater" of the
Andean Indians, and "chicha,"
milder beverage. The other shelves
are generally empty, but sometimes
they display a small stock of bread,
local cheese, and several cans of sar-
dimes.
The Andrean towns display little
variety in style and architecture. The
walls of the houses are made of thick
mud bricks, are without windows,
and ingress and egress is by a single
solid wooden door, whether the house
consists of one or more rooms. The
fire for cooking is built on the dirt
floor and the smoke finds its way
out through the door, so that the up
per part of the doorway is blackened
with SCOT. The human occupants,
dogs, hogs, guinea pigs, and chickens,
share the floor on a democratic basis.
The streets are paved with rounded
stream cobbles, and both sides slope
toward the central gutter that serves
as the town sewer. Since the streets
are narrow, the smells of the houses
and the stenches of the cutters mingle
with little dilution, giving these
towns an "aroma all their own"

THE kingdom of Bulgaria is
bounded on the north by Ru-


mania. On the west is Yugo
Slavia and Greece; the Black Sea and
European Turkey are on the east.
On the south is part of Greece,
the Aegean Sea and the Turkish
province of Adrianople.
1t is on the south and west that
this country's boundaries have been
most affected by the war. Under
the terms of the treaty handed to her
representatives last September Bull
garia lost an important strip of terri
tory which, before the war, gave her
a coast line on the Aegean Sea. She
also lost small area on the western
frontier, including the town of
Strumnitza with the surrounding dis
trict all of which will be included in
the new Serb -Croat-Slovene state of
Jugo-or Yugo-Slavia.
The treaty above referred to is
called the Treaty of Neuilly (where
it was signed on Nov. 81, 1919.
By its terms Bulgaria renounced all
claims to Thrace and Macedonia;
her army was reduced to 10000, all
ranks and she agreed to pay an in
demnity of 2,25O,OO0,OOO francs be-
sides recouping the Allies for the cost
of armies of occupation. The present
area of Bulgaria is about $4,000
square miles and the population is
estimated at 5,5O0,00O. The prevail
ing religion is the Orthodox Greek
Catholic and it was not until 1916
that the Gregorian calendar was sub
stitiuted for the Greek.
The Bulgars are not true Slavs but
came originally from Tartar stock
which is closely allied to the Turkish.
In the tenth century they adopted
the Christian religion and soon
learned to speak the Slav language.
They are hated by the true Slavs and
the Serbs and are Historic foes" of
the Greeks, as we'll as bitter enemies
of the Turks.
From the Danube frontier plateau
slopes up to the wild heights Of the
Balkans ("stony hills"), which have
several peaks over 1000 feet, and the
historic Shipka Pass.
Between the Balkans proper and
the Rhodope Balkans is the fertile
river-basin of the Martha, upon
whose banks stand two of the largest
towns in Bulgaria Philippopolis and
Adrianople. The Martha finds its
way to the Aegean Sea near the for
mer Bulgarian port of Dede Agach
(now included within the zone of
territory whose fate is to be decided
at future conference of Allied ma
tions).
The only coastline which Bulgaria
possesses today is her Black Sea coast
line between Balchik and Sveti Ste
fan, and her only sea ports are Varna
and Burgas. 1t is as well to point
out, however, that the Allies have
guaranteed Bulgaria economic out
lets to the Aegean Sea-; that is to
say, Bulgaria will probably be per-
mitted to make use of Dede Agach
for the import and export of goods.
The Plain of Rumelia (the Mar
itza Basin) lies sheltered between the
Balkan and Rhodope mountain
masses, and is much warmer than

famous altar of roses.
There is abundance of good pas
ture, especially on the lower noun

reared in large numbers. Cheese is
made from sleeps milk. Live stock

The dense forests are full of good
timber, and there are large numbers
of sawmills, which are run by water

ganese, eggs and cocoons.
Bulgaria is agricultural rather than
industrial, so there are few large
towns. Sofia, the capital, on the Isker
tributary of the Danube, is the only
town which has more than $4,000
inhabitants.
Across Bulgaria runs the main
trunk line from Central Europe to
Constantinople-part of the much
vaunted German Berlin Baghdad line.
1t passes through Sofia and down the
Martha Valley, via Philippopolis and
Adrianople to Constantinople.
Sofia is an extremely important
focus of roads and railways, and its
strategic value has led to its protec-
ton by strong forts.
Education is free and compulsory.
Tsar Boris III, is the ruler, having
succeeded to power on the abdication
of his father, Oct. 4, 1918. The
Legislature has 213 representatives.
Executive power is vested in the Tsar
and is exercised by a council of minis
tiers appointed by him.
Turkey for some years has been
growing smaller, and prospects are
she may disappear entirely from the
map of Europe ere long. The Turks
are descendants of Central Asian
tribes. Becoming Mohammedans in
the seventh century, they began a
westward march of conquest that first
gave them the Eastern Roman En-
pire (Bysantine Provinces), and by
the middle of the fourteenth century
they had spread into Southern Europe,
taking possession of the entire Balkan
peninsula. In the sixteenth century
they extended their authority into
Egypt, Northern Africa and Spain,
ETC., as we'll as into Hungary. Then
their power began to decline.
In 1899 the "Peace of Carlowitz"
freed Hungary from the "Terrible
Turk" In the nineteenth century
the African dominions, with the ex-
ception of Tripoli, broke away or
were occupied by other powers. In
the latter part of the century the
northern states of the Balkan penin-
sula asserted their independence. In
the first decade of the twentieth CEN
fury war broke out between Italy
and Turkey, with the result that Tri-
poll and Benghazi were ceded to Italy
under the Treaty of Ouchy. In
1928 war with the Balkan States

Western Houses Planning to
Clear Out Accumulated
Stocks at Sharp Reduc-
tions After Holiday Trade

Several Western and Middle West
ern Jobbers have announced clearance
sales for next week at which prices
will be cut to rock bottom to move ac-
tumulations before inventories. Car
son, Pirie, Scott &, Co., of Chicago, ap-
parently are taking the initiative, and
other Chicago firms undoubtedly VIII
cooperate in providing inducements for
buyers.
Jobbers in Los Angeles, Cleveland
and other centers also are making
preparations for the final drive of the
season on the assumption that many
retailers will be in position to take
desirable merchandise at bargain
prices Immediately to provide sales tor
the holiday season and work Oft their
own stocks. The prevailing opinion IN
trade circles is that every effort should
be made to reduce stocks to the mini
mum before Christmas in preparation
for the usually dull inventory period
following. Many observers are IN
clined to believe that January wilt be
dullcr than usual this year, and that
the holiday season offers the best op-
portunity for disposing Of surplus mer-
chandise if profits can be shaded
enough to make prices attractive.
The fact that Carson, Pirie, Scott &
Co, is one of the conservative houses OF
the Middle West has attracted more
than the usual amount of attention to
the sale next week. No mention Of
prices was made in the circular sent to
retailers, and for this reason it was be-
lieved that reductions would be nota-
striking and thorough sale we have
ever held" The announcement said:
eve are determined to clear season
able goods from our stocks on next
Monday and Tuesday. Prices will be
made to move quickly underwear, hos
iery, knit goods, blankets, furs, mems
wear, women's an children's apparel,
handkerchiefs, ribbons, holiday goods,
rugs and every kind of piece goods. All
goods sold on usual terms for pay
ments made within thirty days from
date of invoice. Advertising selling
