TjM naiuo Helen of Troy brings to

As a matter of tocord she had red

she Marred on her great adventure.
But all tho ancient world agreed that
Helen was lis fhioet ornament. Al
though she Itrod "3,009 years ago her
fume still endures.
When Helen s a little under twen

found his palace filled with almost
every kinglet and princeling In Greece,
demanding her hand. lie foresaw that
no matter where her choice fell, thcru
would bo future trouble. So ho bound
all of them to an oath that they would
protect the hearthstone of the favored
sultor
Helen made a strange selection,
-Menelnus.. king of Sparta, a plodding,
middle-aged num. lie tool: her off to
his palace and after a whllo many
things were said about her. Hut tho

twenty jeans. Then emtio Paris, son
of Priam, from the great city of Troy.
He was young and hundsotrie. It had
been foretold Hint his city would be
destroyed through him. Helen prompt
ly "vamped" the M ranger guest.
J They lied one night for his ship and
hulled for Troy. Meticlnus mourned
her us one distracted and called on
Tyndareus to make tho nobility of
Greece full'lll Its promise. Off they
went, In 1.200 ships, to tho city of
Troy, standing near the prcsent-dny
Constantinople.
The Trojan wnr lasted ten years
without result. Helen had long slnco
tired of Pnrls. Then ho was brought
bnck dying from a night sortie. "Long
ago, dear," ho said, "wo were glad
wo who never more shall bo together.
Will you kiss me, once? It Is ten
weary years since you have smiled on
me. Hut, Helen, say farewell with
your old smile."
She kissed him, ho died, ami soon
afterward the wed his younger broth

bringing upon It such n wnr. Ono
day tho Greeks apparently sailed nwny
and great was the rejoicing. But tlio

outpost of the Portuguese traders of
the Sixteenth century,' the Monte, Car
lo of the Orient, and one of Portugal's
few remaining possessions In Paclllc
waters.
Macao Is situated on the west side
of tho Pearl river. Forty miles across
Js Hongkong; eight v-e'ghl miles to the
north lies Canton. M-at of the South
China government, Macao was found
ed In ir."7. Prior to 1SS7 there ap

evidence of a formal cession of tills
territory, the Portuguese claiming,'
however, that tlfoy received It as ir

Island of Ileum: Chan, and ouce ininrd-
ed by Chinese soldiers, gave color to '
the Portuguese claim. However, all
doubts vet" laid to rest In 1SS7 when
formal cession was made by China to
tho Portuguese.
Macao'G Rise and Fall.
So marvelous was tho growth and
prosperity of this Portuguese .settle
ment In I's youth that It excited the
envy of the early Dutch traders who
In 10U2 at tempted lis conipicst. The
spot where the Dutch leader was
killed h a round shut from Monte
fort, which wrote finis to that at
tempt, Is now marked by a monument.
Macao continue I to be a flourishing
mart up to U-'"I. the British East In
dia company a. id the Dutch company
meanwhile ohliiMiug a foothold then'.
The British free initio propaganda of
tho "Forties" excited a demand for a
free port at Macao, to which tho Por
tuguese demurred. Gieat Britain then
secured the Hongkong concession,
made that a free port In 1815, and
the decline of Macao as an entrepot
dates from that year.
Not only Is Macao- the site of the
llrst European claim made on Chinese
soil, hut It has cultural ties with Eu
rope closer knit than the political re-,
latlonshlps of controverted arens to
tho north. It contains the oldest ruin
In China that Is associated with Eu

flcvenucc From Gambling.
The Ideas of Henry George and oth
er lax theorists have found a niggard
soil In Macao, whose llscal policy Is
simplicity Itself. Poo-choc and fan
tan provide the ro.vnues of the city.
'It lias' been Mild that half the minted

the revenues of the city of .Macao.
Attractive to Travelers.
Present day Macao Is not marred
for the casual traveler by either its
flair for fan-tan or Its thriving trade
In opium. The latter is shipped away
to wreak Its havoc; the former brings
flie bizarre and the adventurous. The
city of today Is ono of tho few Far
Eastern coast towns which have not
been caught In the resistless current
of commercial progress, and for that
reason It presents some Interesting
studies to lovers of the plcturesipie.

BOY SCOUTS PLAY SANTA CLAUS
Last year Akron (O.) scouts collect
ed and distributed IKK) toys among
the poo.- children of the city. This
year they raised the number to 1,500.
For weeks they canvassed tho city for
old toys, dolls, sleiD. etc.. which they
painted, repaired ami made fo look as
good as now to delight the hearts of
the kiddles on Christians morning.
This kind of good turn Is being quite
generally nractlccd throughout tho
country. Other cities reporting sim
ilar Santa Clans service on the part
of scouts were Louisville, Ky.; Cin
cinnati, O.. and Butte, Mont. The Cin
cinnati council got out an attractive
poster In the name of "Santa Clans
Co., Jnc," bespeaking the public co
operation In handing over old toys lo
the boy scouts for repairing and re
distribution under the auspices of the
Associated Charities. The llutlo
scouts established a regular toy hos
pital at. their headquarters, to which
the papers gave considerable publicity.
SCOUTS' MAKE TRAFFIC SURVEY
Tho city planning commission ot
Grand Itaplds, Mich., recently Invited
tho Boy Scouts of America to con
duct a trafllc survey. This wus ac
complished In so thorough and satis
factory a manner Mint the boys won
high praise not only from the city
planning department but from all who
saw tho boys at their work. Tho
count wns checked up by men from
tlio traffic safety council and was
found In only ono Instance to have
been Inaccurate. Hugh E. Lynch,
secretary of the commission, In thank
ing Scout Executive Walker for tho
boys' cervices, said that he regretted
that every boy could not have tho
benefit of scout training, because ho
could kco in watching tho boys at
work how far-reaching tho Inlluenco
of the. movement wan and what' a
genuine contribution to citizenship
training.
