j i | \ | 1 25, 1928_PART T ALBANIA REVERSES TREND IN EUROPE | Change From Republic to Kingdom Noted as Exceptional. Albania, for eight years a repub- lic, has crowned President Ahmed Zogu its King, reversing the trend of most | European nations. | ‘Thus Tirana, capital of Albania, will join the ranks of Europe's royal cities. The modest “White House” will be- come a palace, and “Mr. President” will | be addressed “His Highness.” | “Until a few years ago Tirana was | as little known as the rest of Albania is | today,” says a bulletin from the Na- tional Geographic Society. | “Boatloads of tourists drifted down | the Albanian coast, stopping now and ; then at some picturesque island. or at | a coastal village, but they seldom ven- tured far inland. “At Durazzo, former capital, and now | Tirana’s seaport, they took one glance at the impassable roads to the interior and another glance at the springless ox- carts and donkeys which were then the | | only Albanian taxis. Then most of | them decided to see Tirana when condi- | tions were improved. i { i Better Conditions Noted. “The capital has changed, however, | since President Zogu established gov- | ernment headquarters there in 1925. Bus service on the new road from Ti- | rana to Durazzo brings increasing num- bers of travelers and the once quiet little Moslem city is making splendid progress. | “The mosque, domes and mi that once dominated the city ky- | line are being encroached upon by mod- | ern government buildings and legations of foreign governments who recognize Albanian sovereignty. Hotels are also poking their upper stories above the red roofs of old Tirana's mud-walled structures, and new avenues, parks and public gardens have been laid out for the enjoyment of the city’s inhabitants and guests. “Albanians are not a traveled people, | Their first railroad now is under con- struction between Durazzo and Tirana, and save for a narrow rim along the Adriatic seaboard, there are few roads within the country’s borders. But the social aspect of the capital has changed with the coming of representatives of foreign governments. At the new Sports Club Albanians rub elbows with | [/ resident diplomats and the Albanian ‘women now compete against the ladies of the legations on the tennis courts. City Market Unchanged. | “The Tirana market place is one of the few spots in the city that have not been disturbed by the newcomers, and here, among the vegetables and fruits piled on the cobbles, roam folk of the surrounding mountains and valleys, ap- parently unmoved by the changes tak- ing place in their capital. “Both the Ghegs of the North and the Tosks of the South crowd the ‘aisles.” Mingling among the lively throngs one sees a bewhiskered Moslem holy man whose somber robes sharply contrast with the flaming colors of the natives’ garments. The Ghegs, three-fourths of ‘Whom are Moslems, can be singled out from the rest of the crowd by their | ||| gray half-size fezzes, which resemble » the aluminum lids which keep pancakes warm on American restaurant tables. They also wear loose-fitting, sleeveless, buttonless jackets, tight-fitting trousers and homemade sandals of oxhide. “The Tosks are less conservative than their Northern compatriots. They like ornamentation, and their costumes are colorful. ‘There may be enough silver and gold in their regalia to pay a first- | class passage from Durazzo to New | ! York.” BLADENSBURG. || I BLADENSBURG, Md., September 22| (Bpecial) —Mrs. Jessie W. Nicholson, Eemm.mddem of the National Woman's itic Law Enforcement League, and Mrs. Mary R.
