ALBANIA FEELING U. §. INFLUENCE Changing There Tirana, Albania, June 11. (®— i Picturesque costumes and quaint | customs of Albania are succumbing | to progress, and America has @ larga share in causing the metamor- | phosis. Albanians have been called | “more Turkish than the Turks" be- cause of their faithful adherence to | traditions imported by Mohammed- | forces and those of the local nation- | Physiclans fear | an invaders centuries ago.

The wo- man owner of the site refused to !'allow herself for legal identification in transfer- {ing the site until she was gon- vinced that a man had seen her face once before, and then she per- mitted him to see it again. The | site chosen was outside the city limits of Tirana, and an Albanian | | law prohibits foreigners from own- | | ing property except in cities, so the ! | authorities accommodatingly ex: | tended the city limits. l H.

An American who tried to intro- | duce modern farming methods was vanquished by the old fashioned | donkey and stunted Albanian ox. | | With tractors and the latest Amer- {ican agricultural machinery he pro- | duced an excellent crop. But there | was no market for it, as the Alba- | nians live cheaply, so he got just a | little less for it than enough to pav | gasoline.
