English: Title: Near East Teems With Life and Color? But a corner of the old clothes markets at Scutari, Albania showing how Mohammedan and Christian women mix in commerce. The market is a riot of brilliant colors but its wares are meagre and high priced. It is stocked mostly with garments that the people hid from the invading enemy, which stripped the country of most of its clothing material. The merchants have American competition here, the Red Cross distibuting used American clothing free to all destitute people. But these women made no complaint. The ones to whom the Americans give could never become purchasers, so poor are they
