C., May 18.— Brusa, Turkey, hopes to vie with European watering places as a re- sult of the government's plan to es- tablish modern bathing facllities at Brusa sulphur springs to attract foreign patrons. For years Brusa's population, about 70,000, has been slightly in- creased during the summer months equipment of old-style hamams of Europeans who have frequent- ed the baths, but foreigners have avoided them because of a lack of privacy. “The contemplated improvements call for the replacing with modern equipment of old-style hanams where bathers ‘steam cleaned’ them- selves tn full view of curlous villag- Furnish Your Home Completely ors. City of Mosques and Minarcts Perhaps nowhere in Turkey could the government find a more attrac- tive setting for a resort, for Brusa is the garden-spot of Asia Minor. The city lies in a grove of stately cypresses on the northern slopes of the Asian Mount Olympus. Its hun- dreds of gilded domes of mosques and lofty white minarets rise above the red-roofed houses and present a colorful sight against the massive green mountainside. Brusa has been called the ‘City of Mosques and Minarets,” a title no Isitor will question. They proclaim hat Brusa is a Moslem stronghold, nd are evidence of the truth of the 'd Brusa proverb that ‘there is a valk for every day in the year and a mosque for every walk.’ Some of the Moslem churches and tombs of Turkish emperors recall the days when Brusa was the capi- tal of the Ottoman Empire, before Constantinople was captured by the Turks. Othman, for whom the Otto- man Empire was named, made Brusa his capital shortly before his death in the early part of the 14th century, and it was from Brusa that Orkhan, son of Othman, led his Turkish horde across the Darda- nelles to seize Gallipoli, thus setting foot on European soil for the first FINE FURNITURE for BETTER HOMES—Bay With Confidence, Own With Pride Beauty, Character, Comfort, Quality and Value—Combined in this “Ideal American Home’—4 Room You Can Buy Each Room Separately 14 you wish to buy one, two or even thres rooms ssparately E::z‘:m'o{ the entire outfit, you will save oonsideradly.

The capital was later moved to Adrianople, and then to Con- stantinople, but Brusa remains to- day a venerated city where Moslems worship at the shrines of their former rulers. Is Capital of Rich Vilayet Brusa's chief drawback has been its location off the beaten track of travel. It lies 55 miles south of Con- stantinople. To reach the ancient city from the late capital, one must travel by boat about 30 miles across the Sea of Marmora to Mudania, the Included in the Outfit A lving room suite, a bridge lamp with wrought iron base and silk shade, a table lamp, en occasional table finished in rich walnut color, a smok- ing stand, a pair of hook ends and a room size rug. .

Brusa's commercial and indus- trial importance recently won for it consideration as the location of the capital of the new republic, but its comparative fnaccessibility was an important factor in its failure to be thus honored again. It is the capi- tal ot a vilayet, (Turkish Province) by the same name, which is one of the most prosperous in the country. The narrow, cobbled streets of the city which are kept clean by trickling mountain streams, are filled with commercial traflic from the rich agricultural and mineral regions of the neighborhood. Standing on a busy corner or on the I .lcony of one of the Brusa hotels that are as modern as those of most Luropean cities of the same size, one sees a procession of slow- moving bullock carts, laden with grain, silk, cotton, tobacco, or olive oil, or it might be chrome, manganesé®or meerschaum, all of which are important products of the vilayet.

Where Silk Worms are Royalty “Dodging between this almost endless stream of ancient transpor- tation are groups of holy men, scholars, dervishes, eunuchs, and tourists, all trying to talk above the rumble of wheels and hoofs on the cobbled streets while beggars sit motionless, crying out their monotonous appeal.
