ALBANIA AB0UNDS
IN ROMAN RELICS
Rich Finds Dug Up in Fields
by Scientists.

Rome.-When King Zogu of Albania
presented to Premier Mussollni some
time ago the superb marble head of
the Goddess Of Buthrotum," discov.
cred in his kingdom, he was doing
more than an act of courtesy. Els act
emphasized the growing Importance of
Albania rs rich treasure trove for
Psychologists.
The small Balkan country Of AL
bania has recently taken Its place in
the classical tradition Of European
countries because Of the rich finds of
Hellenic and Roman architecture and
sculpture which have been discovered
there.
Italians have found the traces of
their forefathers in this small pas
toral land. The Italian archaeological
mission, led by DR.. Luigi Ugolinl, has
unearthed antique treasures of great
Importance in that part Of Albania
which In Roman times was known rs
Illyria, or rather formed part Of it.
Find Relics Under Earth.
Hidden under many feet Of rough
uncultivated land, rs Psychologists
suspected for centuries, there have
been excavated ancient theaters, tenn
pies. Roman baths, an early Christian
baptistery Of the Byzantine period and
q valuable collection of Greek and
Roman statuary and funeral monu.
ments.
For more than coo years Italian
psychologists have been convinced that
countless treasures of Greco.Romnn
civilization were hidden in the soil of
Albania. The first archaeological expe-
dition from Italy left Rome In 141S
A second expedition followed in 1885.
Neither had much success, partly ow
Ing to the troubled state Of the coun.
try which made exploration difficult
and partly owing to lack Of adequate
financial and technical means.

treasures of old Illyria.
According to Ugolinl, there is still
so much excavation to be done along
the Dalmatian coast and especially in
the zone of Buthrotum that millions
Of lire would be required to undertake
the task thoroughly.
Discoveries Are Important.
The list Of Doctor Ugolini's dlscov-
cries on the site Of Buthrotum and In
the vicinity is long and important.
The outstanding finds were the Byznn.
tine bapistery, the statues Of Angus
tus and other emperors. the temple OF
Esculepius and the remains Of the
Roman baths.
Buthrotum, the chief site of Ugo-
lini's discoveries, Is connected In legend
and poem with the virgilian epic. yir.

E. C. WILSON PRODUCE co.
Importers and Buyers of Poultry, Eggs
and Butter.

Located at 1872 Western Ave-, in Seat
tie, is one of the city's leading indie
pendent produce firms. They pur-
chase poultry, eggs, and other
country produce from the farmers
throughout the year and pay highest
market price. This firm is under
the supervision Of Mr.. E. C. Wilson,
well known in local produce and
shipping circles.
The E. c. Wilson Produce Co. are a
concern which merit the good will of
the public because it furnishes a great
part of the country communicative
farmer-with satisfactory market for
their produce. In this way the firm
as an independent concern in the pro-
duce field has been instrumental in
placing poultry raising on high plane
They serve as commission merchants
and brokers in purchasing, wholesale
coop lots of poultry and eggs, as well
as butter and other country produce.
The management realizes the i'm
portance of holding the good will of
the farmer. To accomplish this they
spare no pains to serve them. They
pay the highest prices for poultry.
eggs, and other produce consistent
with the daily market and frequently
quote the farmer higher than ccmpe-
tjtive firms in order to secure the best
the market affords.
The production of poultry is one of
the fastest growing industries in King
County, and has much to offer pros
pective poultry growers. because Of
cheap land values, ideal living condi-
tions, climate, good schools, and good
market for poultry products.
Due to the broad-minded merchan-
dising policies OF the E. c. Wilson Pro-
duce Co. they have assisted the farmer
in making poultry raising into more
than by-products. Many farmers, who,
prior to the establishment of this con-
Germ, used their poultry merely as a
sideline, today make this their main
line. This movement has done much
TO increase the prosperity OF the
agricultural classes in this community,
and the farmers have been quick to
appreciate the advantages given them.
The firm is in position at all times
to handle any quantity of poultry and
eggs and to find an immediate out
let for any surplus through their wide
distributing facilities.

TORPEDOES
SET UNDER
TOMBS
Burial Ground. Foreman Has
Employed Night Force to
Frighten Winged Nuisance

Ear-splitting detonations Of
torpedoes coupled with the loud
reports of rifle fire have combined
in recent months to disturb the
usual nocturnal tranquility and
peace that hovers over Rock
Creek Cemetery.
The hallowed burying ground
and its immediate vicinity Is no
place for a superstitious person
these nights-and it's all on ac-
count of the winged pest that has
caused the District commissioners
and planners Of a more beautiful
Washington many hours Of worry.
StarIings Arrive
In other words, the peSky
starting, without regard for rever-
ence, has invaded Rock Greek
Cemetery.
/ Numerous reports have been
made to attaches Of the cemetery
that nuisances committed by the
starlings have virtually obliterated
inscriptions on scores Of tomb.
stones in the burial ground.
In an effort to rid the cemetery
of the pests, Colan Harry, fore.
man of the cemetery, has en-
ployed a force to work under
him at nights for the last few
months.
The starling-startlers use power
full torpedoes and have even re-
sorted to rifle fire to frighten
the birds from the, place.
Night after night, an attache
said, the men explode the
torpedoes against tombstoneS, be
meath favored roosting places of
the birds, and succeed in
frightening hundreds from the
trees.
Always Come Back
Some time ago, the cemetery
officials obtained permission from
the Police Department to use ri
files in their war against the star
lingS.,
But Immediately following the
barrage of torpedoes and rifles.
the starlings invariably return to
the trees and await the next at
tack, merely to repeat their flight
and return.
But cemetery officials are op-
timiStic. With the coming of
cold weather, the birds usually
abandon the burial ground to seek
a warmer climate, and the star
ling-startlers will plan throughout
the winter on some means of def
nitely abolishing the pest from the
cemetery.
