 Latest Addition
 To Food Supply

DENVER. Dec. 27. "Bootleg'' sugar is the latest addition tc Den yC's food supply.
 According to information here, Louisiana plantations, pressed by the decline in sugar prices. have put out raw sugar without going to the ex- pense of having it refined. A local dealer is reported to have purchased several carloads of the bootleg . sugar which is said to contain a heavy percentage of water.
 The clarified sugar Is very pre- carious item to handle" says a warn ing issued here. 'It will turn almost as hard as a rock in addition to being very coarse and dark"

DO GIRLS DRESS TO PLEASE MEN

 NFW YORK. Drc 27. Do girls dress 90 please men or womcn2 That as Shakespeare said, is the question. The Eternal Feminine will gigor- ously resent the accusation that she plumes and feathers herself for the eyes of her cnyious sisters And, vi,h fully as much warmth, she will deny that her sole aim in wearing fine clothes is to trap that wary animal-man.
 If t.c woman of today dresses for adorumcut. and most of them agree that she does. who Is the target for her sartorial charms? Wcll-posted women hold that the popular flapper is poorly dressed. while another group equally weIl-posted hold an op- posted. hold an opposite view and insist that women wear clothes that cater to the taste of their husbands or swecthearts.
 Here. for example. is Mrs. Key Camack. Y. M. C. \. lecturer. who can make the working girls salary stretch further. probably than any one except the working girl herself. She is an expert on all phases of fcmnmity

 "I m convinced that women dress to make other women eyious, rather than to catch a man"
 \ different view is expressed by milliners and dressmakers catering to wealthy New York women. whose findings can be summed up as fol- lows:
 "Women dress to please their hus- bands, brothers and fathers We see evidence of this every day Almost every woman in buying clothes. es- pecially evening gowns pays great attention to what HE would or would not like.
 We shouldn't say women eyer dress to ATTRACT men. They do dress to please them, however, and sacrifice their own preferences in so doing"
 But in a pretty comprehensive can vass of leading women not one could be found who would say that they ever dressed to suit them them 1 selves

RESOURCES OF ALBANIA

NOW that the RapallO agreement DeA
tween Italy and Jugo-Slavia has
cleared up the status Of the northern
part of the eastern coast of the Adri-
attic, Albania Is the only country bor-
dering on those historic waters about
whose boundaries there is still some
doubt. AS one of the countries whose
confines will probably be fixed in the
near future Albania takes ON an added
interest. The resources of this portion
Of the Balkan peninsula are dealt with
in the following communication to the
National Geographic society from
Brig. Gen. George P. Scriven, U. S. A.,
who made tour of the country short
ly after the Austrians had been driven
out in 1918.
1.-THE Albanians are probably neither
SO good no SO bad as they have been
painted, but certainly they are worth
the effort necessary to manage their
own affairs and to work their little
farms in the fertile valleys, to herd
their sheep and weave their garments
Of wool, II only they are let alone.
They do not submit easily to govern
ment; have no love for chance strang-
ers, and are Sow to accept change
in the manner Of living or Of cultivat-
ing the fields.
1.-THE mountains of Albania are prac-
tically unexplored. Mineral pitch, or
asphaltum, has been known since the
time of the Romans, and near Valona
have seen specimens, clean, black
| and hard, which promise well. Traces
of petroleum, too, have been found by
the Italians, and am told boring Is.
or is about to be, undertaken. Copper
and iron are believed, to exist in the
hills about the Malik valley, and coal,
silver aud lead are said to be present
elsewhere in the mountains. Gold
mines were worked in ancient times
and Albanian silver was known to
the Venetians; but the whole mountain
country has lain neglected for ages.
1.-THE climate of Albania is consid-
cred healthful in the uplands, though
subject to violent changes, which are
trying to the stranger, at certain sea-
sons, even If he is confined to one To-
cality. But when traveller, moving
rapidly about the country In motor
the only practicable way of travel
ing in these days-rushes several thou
sand feet from a mountain height,
cold and windy and probably snow-cov-
cred, into warm, sunshiny valley and
back again in the fraction Of an hour,
It Is well to have a care.
MAY is the pleasantest month Of
the year and the valleys then look
their best. Snow, of course, lies in the
mountains until well into the spring,
but seldom lasts throughout the sum-
mer, as the tallest peaks do not attain
an elevation of, more than 5000 feet.
'"The fever Of the Balkans is per
sistent, but is not especially fatal
Still It is to be dreaded for its linger-
ing effects and the great debility II
causes. The usual specific is quinine
a supply Of which is placed on the
mess table or carried about in the
pocket" 4

CORK: MOST IRISH CITY
IN IRELAND

Cork, third city of Ireland, con-
siderable part Of which was recently
destroyed by fire, bears very super
ficial resemblance to our own New
York in that its nucleus is situated
on an island enfolded by two arms
Of a river where its waters meet
bay. The comparison soon becomes
a contrast, however, for Cork is city
oDless than $4,000 souls, has few pub
lie buildings or thoroughfares of i'm
portance and was built on a low,
swampy site instead Of on the rocky
ribs of Mother Earth. Afs
The stream that enfolded Cork be-
fore it grew across its watery bar
riers is the River Lee which rises In
little lake to the north. From u
tiny island in the lake came the pious
hermit, st. Fin Barre, who established
monastery on the island at the
mouth of the river in the seventh CEN
tury, and from this start the present
city has grown. Both the Catholic
and Protestant cathedrals of Cork are
dedicated to this early Irish saint.
At the head Of one Of the finest
harbors in Ireland-a land-locked cove
whose waters are as placid as those
of a Cork has been subject since
its establishment to attacks by sea
marauders. Invading Danes burned
the city in 821 and again in 1912.
and after the second destruction
founded on the site Danish trading
post. The Irish, again in control Of
the city, submitted to the English in
1172, who for many years maintained
q precarious foothold.
The Irish eventually regained Cork
not by force of arms but by ''infiltra-
tion," for before Agreat while the
one-time English post was the nest

Of Erin. -.

TURKESTAN: RUGS AND
