The transformation Of Vinita from a
country village 10 a ely with miles Of
paved streets and handsome boulevards
has not been by accident, but by the per-
sstent push Of the present city council.

capable Of no clean transaction, either

samos as 4 RIrthnIaoe.

Samos. the autonomous Greek
island under Turkish suzerainty.
which has once more been the scene
OF trouble. Is one OF the few lucky re.
gions on earth that have no national
debt Il Is also one Of the few places
in that part OF the world at which
Homer was not born But as a birth.
place Samos nevertheless ranks high.
AS the home Of the first triremes Il
was the originator OF sea power.
Thence came the FIRST bold Greek mar.
iner who sailed out through the
Straits Of Gibraltar into the Atlantic.
Above all it was the birthplace Of
Pythagoras, Of whom samos Is very
proud TO this day rs great college,
the Pythagoreum. is attended BY pu.
pills from Crete and other islands. and
has been called by Samian writer
"a lighthouse, spreading It's light far
