THREESUNDAYS
A WEEK IN CITY
OF SARAJEVO
SARAJEVO. Bosnia, Nov. 21 (by
Associated Press').—Sunday is ob
served three times a week here.
Because there are 35,000 Turks in
the city, Friday is the first Sunday.
Then all the Turkish stores close and
one goes twice a day to some of the
hundred mosques whose slender min
arerts gleam white against the green
background of the hills.
Because two hundred years ago a
group fo Spanish Jews settled in Bos
nia, Saturday is Sunday for many Sar
ajevans. Then all the Jewish stores
are closed and the Jews of the city
crowd the big yellow synagogue on
the main street.
Because all the rest of the 54,000
inhabitants of Sarajevo and hundreds
of peasants from the hills around are
Serbs and Bosnians, following both
the Roman. Catholic and the Greek
Orthodox beliefs, the Sunday Sabbath
is the higgest holy day of all in Sar
ajevo. All the stores except the Turk
ish are closed. The churches are
crowded with people dressed in every
style, from the latest Belgrade fash
ions to homespun trousers for both
men and women, with huge beaded
shoes and woolen turbans. After that
modern Sarajevo xvalks about the
modern quarters and old-fashioned
Sarajevo dances the “kolo” in the
big square of the crowded Turkish
bazaar.
“The result of three Sundays a week
for the people here is no Sundays at
all for the Americans, who find no
day without some school or hospital
that must be provided for,” said
Lieutenant John D. Hartung of Bay
Shore. L. I. Lieutenant Hartung is in
charge of the medical supplies from
America which have made the Bos
nian hospitals possible.

WANT RED ROCK CANYON
TO BE PROCLAIMED AS
A NATIONAL MONUMENT
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A petition having
been forwarded to the President of
the United States to proclaim Red
Rock canyon, in Southern California,
a national monument, the Chamber of
Commerce of Bishop, Cal., has asked
support in the movement from every
important civic, art, automobile, high
way and commercial organization in
this part of the state.
The canyon, which is described by
enthusiasts as a paleontological
treasure-box, lies 12f> miles north of
Los Angeles. A gash in the lower
end of the Sierra Nevada mountains,
its mouth opens from the El Paso
range, upon the northwestern edge
of the Mojave desert, twenty-four
miles beyond Mojave and 158 miles
west of Bishop. Through its fifteen
miles of length extend the southern
branch of the Roosevelt national high
way (formerly the Midland trail), a
transcontinental automobile route
from Montauk Point, Long Island,
through Washington, D. C., to Los
Angeles, entering the state centrally
by way of Westgard pass, and turn
ing north and south at Big Pine.
Announcement has been that the
Lincoln highway will be extended
from Ely, Nev., to Southern Califor
nia. the same way. making direct con
nection between Los Angeles and Salt
Lake City, Utah.
California has declared the north
and-south highway, known as El Cam
ino Sierra, a trunk line of the good
roads system, and under the recent
$10,000,000 bond issue will pave it as
far as Bishop, undoubtedly, enthusi
astic Red Rock canyon advocates as
sert, through the proposed national
monument.
AMERICAN SHIPPERS
ARE VERY DERELICT
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21 (by As
sociated Press).—American business
houses must mend their ways if they
are to compete with European manu
facturers in the Latin-American
trade, according to H. H. Miller, pro
prietor of a large brass foundry in
Torreon, Mexico, who will be a dele
gate to the National Foreign Trade
Council which will convere here next
May.
There are four practices American
houses perform, or fail to perform, j
which are discrediting them in the
eyes of Latin-American buyers, ac
cording to Mr. Miller.’ The first and
most pernicious practice, he says in
a letter to the Chamber *of Commerce
here, is failure to observe shipping in
structions. He points out that every
country has different customs require
ments, methods of transportation,
etc., and that few American houses
are conversant with these. To make
the matter worse, he emphasizes,
when given detailed instructions for
shipment, the American houses ignore
them.
Substitution of articles ordered and
failure to pack properly are other
points the Americans neglect, he says.
