I'fiCftnUy reported attacked by British bombers, is the port tor Tirana, the capital of Albania, and the leadlug commercial and couununidations center of the Italian protectorate, says a bulletin from the Nationul Geographic Society. Occupying the rocky penliular, the city Ilea ucroaa the Adrlutic from the important Italian port of llari, with which it is linked by frequent steamship service, continues the bulletin. Several attempts have been made to couatruct u railroad from the port to Tirana, but the project has never been completed, A paved motor road now is the only surface means of reaching the capital, about 25 miles inland. Onqe one of the groat cities of southern Europe, Durazzo now has only 6,500 inhabitants. Italian Influence Is unmistakable to the visitor there, for tho two main thoroughfares of the city are named for Premier Mussolini and King Victor Emauuoi of Italy. The piazza d/olla Ldborta from which they radiate, Is rimmed with new commercial and government buildings which show recont Italian Influence in architecture and activity. Wars are not new to Durazzo. In its 2,600 years of existence, It has lenown battles within and without. In its early dayw (It Was founded about 600 B. C.) It was a hot bed of political dispute between democrats and aristocrats. The struggle o^er tho "rights of men" were so bitter that they even spread as far as Athens, Corinth and Sparta, in a day when sailing ships, couriers and signal flres were means of communications. But Dqrazzo seemed to thrl/o oa political bitterness, for when the Romans took it over in 228 B. C. li was a comn>ercially important and populous city. At one time It was a favorite starting point for Roman expeditions. The Via Egnatla, a great military highway led from the city to Thessalonike (Salonika) and into the kingdoms of the north and east. Augustus turned Durazzo <^yor to a group of his veteran warriors after the Battle of Actlum In B. C. 31, and for four centuries It enjoyed a golden age of prosperity. Its splendid economic position however, was to cause its ultimate oppression. It became a pawn of various people, the Venetians and Turks holding it longest; the former during the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and the latter from 1501 to 1912. Many of Durazzo's citizens are Moslems and one of the city's most ornamental places of worship is the Gand Mosque, completed in 1939. v.

S. Show Steady (minx Purchases May tiring Total To 200 Million. WASHINGTON.?Expansion of the national forests purchase program to reach 200,000,000 acres by 1950 is planned by the national forest reservation commission. , The purchase program is expected to give the federal government ownership of large reserve supplies of timber and forests for recreation and conservation of mineral and other natural resources. There now are more than 176,000,000 acres of publicly owned lands in the national forests. These are distributed among 196 forest units in 40 states, Alaska and the island possessions. They comprise about 10 per cent of the total area. Last year nearly 4,000,000 persons derived all or part of their support from employment in the national forests, the United States forest service reported. Their total income was nearly $1,000,000,000. Workers living in or near national forests obtained employment harvesting timber purchased from the forest service, herding privately owned live stock on the public lands, working in summer resorts, dude ranches and hotels catering to visitors. . . The forest service reported lumbermen received 2,600,000 man-days of work in timber camps. Live stock owners employed 25,000 riders and herders to take, care of 6,500,000 head of animals in the forests. While no estimate of resort, hotel or dude ranch employees was available, the number was large enQUgh to supply the service needs of a clientele which spends about $200,000,000 annually at such establishments. __ In addition to private employment, the forest service kept a permanent force of 5,500 persons in the forests and gave part-time employment to an additional 11,000 persons. Reforestation, road and trail building, and other improvement work under direction of the forest service also provided 13,436 manyears of employment on WPA projects, and year-long employment and training for 50,000 CCC boys and World war veterans. ? > Highway Death Rate It Ahead of Last Year's CHICAGO.?The National Safety council said that the nation's highway death toll already was 6 per cent above the 1939 rate, and that more than 6,000 persons would be killed in the next two months if the trend continued. Traffic fatalities for the first five months of 1940 were 11,900, an increase of 650 lives lost over the January-May period last year. In May alone 2,510 persons were killed. Delaware showed the best improvement among the states for the five-month period, with 38 per cent fewer deaths than in 1939. South Dakota had a 23 per cent decrease. May was a deathless month on the highways for 267 cities, the council records showed. The largest were Kansas City, Denver, Memphis and Providence, R. I. ' Lakewood, Ohio, was the largest city to report a perfect record for five months. Leaders in the low death rate contests for five months ranked by population groups, were Buffalo, over 500,000; Providence, 250,000-500,000; Chattanooga, Tenn., 100,000-250,000; Lakewood, Ohio, 50,000-100,000; Brookline, Mass., 25,000-50,000; and New Kensington, Pa., 10,000-25,000. Women in Men's Jobs Win British Recognition LONDON. ? The long contested claim of women that if they do men's jobs they should have men's pay, has won its first victory, although it applies to the war period only. The industrial court has made a ruling that * women employed in place of men as bus conductors on municipally owned vehicles shall receive for the first six months not less than 90 per cent of the adult j haale conductor's commencing rate, and thereafter the full scale. This Alien Was Right Even if He Was Wrong ALBANY, N.

War Helps Springs Sharon Springs, N. Y., has become more famous and better known, now that the European war has made it unsafe for Americans to travel to famous springs on the other side for their health. Americuns have discovered thut Sharon Springs surpasses such famous spots as Curlsbad, Aachen, and Baden-Baden, etc. Mud bath treatments are taken with mud from the bottom of a lake in an extinct volcano crater of Mount ' Helena, near Naples, Italy. In combination with Sharon Springs water, it is said to be valuable for the treatment of rheumutism. Synthetic Odors The chemist has synthesized certain floral odors which cannot well be recovered from flowers, says Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Perfumes having the true scent of lilac or lily of the valley, for example, were not to be had until the chemist synthesized these elusive and delicate odors. Wholly new odors have also been synthesized, but for the most part, synthetic perfume chemicals supplement rather than displace natural floral odors. High quality perfumes are usually a skillful blend of the natural and synthetic. Hot Breath The huge passenger plant requires high compression motors, and the exhaust breath is very hot. This is utilized to heat fresh air for the cabin. To withstand high temperature and corrosion,- Inconel?a highnickel alloy?is used to conduct the hot exhaust gases on the new 42passenger Douglas DC-4 and the transocean Boeing Clipper ships.

Abbey's Park Theater j Abbey's Park theater in Madison Square was destroyed by fire on October * 30, 1882. Lillie Langtry'a opening night there had been arranged, but the fire necessitated her going to Wallack's theater instead, where she made her American debut in "An Unequal Match" on November 1882. ? , Gifts for Motorists An appropriate gift for the enthusiastic motorist might be a matching road map holder and motoring log. Of a convenient size and not bulky, they are bound in black morocco leather, hazel pigskin or, less expensive, in brown or red simulated leather.

Spinach Without Grit Spinach without a trace of grit is possible, it is reported in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, if a housewife will rinse it in a "molecularly dehydrated sodium phosphate glass." Reduces Vibration That vibration is reduced more than 75 per cent is the claim of its inventor for a Diesel engine that exerts both upward and downward strokes simultaneously. Pruning Roses The time to prune climbing roses is after they have bloomed, not early in the spring. Spring is the time to cut off all parts that have been winter-killed. Fully Equipped In a bicycle race between 250 youths in Tokyo, each had to carry full military equipment while peddaling more than 13 miles. 13 Wives Blackbeard, the pirate who ravaged the North Carolina coast in the early Eighteenth century, is reputed to have had 13 wives. Large Feet Not 1 woman in 10 in London can get her foot in a size three shoe, and 25 per cent of them require larger sizes.

With the aid of a comparatively new photographic process, which can take 600 pictures u second, an investigation was underway to determine how widely and rapidly the droplets in a sneeze spread. The investigators hoped their findings would he of some help in the battle against respiratory diseases The photographic process used Was that invented by I)r. Harold Edgerton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Called stroboscope photography, the process differs from ordinary photography in that the camera shutter is left open and the light (supplied by a gas-filled tube, or stroboscope) is broken into 36,000 flashes a minute. Impressions are left on the photographic plate each time the light flashes; 'in ordinary photography the light remains constant and the camera shutter opens and closes. Heading the research into the common sneeze was one of Dr. Edgerton's colleagues at M. I. T., Prof, Marshall W. Jennison of the department of biology and public health. Using. Edgerton's technique, Professor Jennison mode several photographs of the effect of a sneeze. Among his early findings: Near the end of a sneeze, the mouth closes involuntarily and propels at high speed (two miles a minute) a great number of droplets through the restricted opening. In a single spasm, thousands of -droplets ranging down to one twohundred-and-flftieth of an inch in diameter are expelled. The smallest of these drops evaporate but others are left floating in the air. These particles may be distributed to other persons. Compared with the number of drops issuing from the mouth, those coming from the nose are insignificant. In general, coughing gives forth fewer but larger droplets than sneezing. Summers Getting Hotter, Claims Weather Bureau Many of us incline to grin indulgently when the old folks dash the perspiration from their brows and grumbllngly assert that when they were young th$ weather was pleasant in the summertime and not torrid as it is today. We wink and, like as not, say to ourselves that distant things seem pleasantest, and the only reason why Dad and Granddad imagine those long-gone summers to have been more mild is because they are victims of the very human tendency to forget the unpleasant and recall only the serene and balmy days. However, we are wrong and the old folks are right. The summers are hotter now than they were when the horseless buggy was an object at which to gape. And if you have any doubt about it, there are the statistics of the weather bureau as ineluctable proof of the fact. According to the bureau's charts the average summer temperature has jumped by at least three degrees during the last 20 years. This is really a phenomenal advance, and a rise of an average of three degrees means but one thing?that there have been a good many scorching hot days. 'The weather bureau is quite frank in admitting that it does not know how to account for this rise in general summer temperature. How President Resigns A President or vice president cf the United States may resign by signing a written statement of resignation and forwarding it to the department of state?not to the legislative or judicial branch of the government. This procedure is set forth in a federal law adopted in 1792 and still in effect. The law says in part: "A resignation of the office of President or Vice President shall be an instrument in writing declaring the same . . . and delivered into the office of the Secretary of State." No President has ever resigned, but one vice president has?John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. He quit the vice presidency in 1832 in order to become a senator. Sizing for Rags Rugs in constant use frequently lose their shape and just won't lay down because the sizing on the under side has deteriorated. According to the extension service of the University of Nebraska agriculture college, the life of such rugs may be prolonged by resizing them. First thoroughly clean the rug by shampooing' and let it dry.. Then < tack it napside down on th<fffoor and apply a solution of one part glue (one-fourth pound) and eight parts water (two quarts). If the rug is light weight, be sure not to put on so much glue that it penetrates to the right side. After application of the siting, let the rug dry for 24 hours before relaying. Accidental Barns Accidental burns, exclusive of conflagrations, are the only type of home accidents in which more women than men are injured fatally.

Dec. 28?More than' 300 dairymen, 4-H club boys, and future farmers attended the second sessions of tho eight dairy schools held during the period of December 3 to 13 Inclusive. These schools were held In Fairflbld, Lancaster, York, Chester, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Anderson, Aiken, and Edgefield counties. Subjects discussed included digestion, composition of various feeds, and feeding for economical production. Tho subject to be discussed at the third sessions which will bo held in January will be the economical production of feeds. Tho dates for these third sessions are: Fairfield county, January 7; Lancaster county, January 8; York county, January 9; Chester cpunty> January 10; Cherokee county, January Anderson county, January 16; AikenEdgefleld, January 17. At the December sessions of these schools, In discussing the processes of digestion, Vance Henry, extension dairy specialist from Clemson, pointed out that the digestive system of cattle is particularly well fitted to handle largo quantities of roughage such as pasture, silage, and hay. He- Illustrated with records of dairymen that these are also the economical source of feed, particularly the pasture and silage. "However, high-producing cows cannot secure enough feed nutrients from roughage alone", the specialist said. "Good cows which are well managed, and which are receiving an abundance of high quality roughage will give the greatest return above income when fed grain at the rate of about orte pound to each four pounds of mUk when .the milk is sold at manufacturing prices. At grade A milk prices one pound of grain to each 2 1-2 to 3 pounds of milk usually gives the greatest returns above cost of feed." .
