FORT WORTH, Dee. 26.-The wild city of Portuguese China, on the Bay of Canton, where vice is rampant and opium and gambling dens wide open, is to become re- spectable.
 The government has decided to stamp out all forms of vice from this plague spot" which brought disgrace and contempt on Portu- guese colonial administration It was in the middle of the six teenth century that the Portuguese were allowed to build settlement there in return for assistance given to the Chinese against pirates Ever since, Macao has remained in Por- tuguese possession, but lack of in terest in the colony by former Por- tuguesc administrations is respon- sible for the unsavoury state to which this island town has been allowed to drift.
 Macao is honeycombed with opi- um dens, gambling rooms and worse places. Almost the whole popula- tion is thriving on opium traffic and the sale of Chinese lottery tickets. Its low grade music halls and cabarets thrive on the money Of sailors from the seven seas.
 Shiploads of opium are exported to all parts of the world from Ma cao, where trading in this drug is still permitted. But although the government derives all it's income from these sources, it has decided, on grounds of morality and pres tige, to carry out extensive social reforms.

New taxes will be created, new industries established and an at tempt made to revive trade with Brazil and other South American republics.
 Dr. Artur Tamagnini Barbosa, the newly appointed governor general of the colony expects that the process of eXtirpating gambling, which has isecured firm foothold in the habits Of the natives, will be slow.
 His first task will be to restrict the cultivation of new opium fields, and limit it's consumption. The stricte5t control will be exercised on shipments of the dangerous drug and any quantity of it seized will be destroyed and the dealers punish ed He will also reduce the num- lber of gambling dens by raising tax ation on gambling. In time, he hopes, public gambling will cease because it will not be a paying pro position.

A crowd estimated at 18,000 peo- pie, swarmed the plant on Armistice Day, but the receipts were slim on several afternoons Most of those who attended did so out of curi- osity rather than for love of the sport.
 So closely were the crowds policed that almost no wagering was done. Professional bookmakers did not have a chance under the constant scrutiny of Texas Rangers and plain clothes policemen. Waggoner received commendation from many noted turf figures for the efficient manner in which the meet was conducted.
 It was "big time" while it lasted, and the elderly ranchman whose bulging pocketbook made the event possible, appeared to enjoy every minute of it.
 Compared to the sum he has in- vested in the Arlington Downs plant the sum lost on the meet was unim- portant.

The advent of the ducks and the

tourists as well.

"Only the best can And a market

GIANT APPETITE FAILS
TO SAVE BARTENDER

st. Louis, Jan. 21 (Autocaster)
One of the most amusing stories
arising from Prohibition is that of
the customer in a speakeasy who
ate thirteen sandwiches in an effort
to keep his friend, Walter Bern
well, the bartender, from arrest. A
Prohibition agent, seeing the pa
tron putting So on the counter,
asked what he was buying with it.
Sandwiches" he said.
"Two dollars worth of sand
wiches?" asked the agent, incredu-
lous.
"That's right" the customer
said, "I'm hungry"
The bartender piled up sand
wiches on the bar. and the patron
managed to eat thirteen. But any
way the Prohibition agent produced
a search warrant, seized a quaint
ity of liquor and arrested the bar
tender.
The customer looked gloomy in
deed.

ter flour and eggs and butter Our
laboratories are experimenting al
ways towards better products"
Mr. Marshall is intensely interest
ed in farm relief. AS buyer of farm
products such as eggs, flour, butter
and other things, he has come into
close contact with the tiller of the
soil. He knows that one-third of the
population is not prospering Ac-
cordingly, he has called upon the en-
tire industry-some 25,00U individ-
ual bakeries and bakers, to buy
higher grade of -four to increase
wheat consumption.
Continental Baking Corporation
was formed in 1924 of bakeries that
had become successful under indi-
vidual ownership. The Livingston
bakeries in Chicago were founded
seventy-five years ago by the grand
father of NJ. L. Livingston, Presi-
dent of Continental. But although
they are now under one ownership
and control they have not lost their
individuality.
He believes in taking care Of his
employees. Only a short time ago he
obt~.ned group life insurance for
S12,000,000, and another similar sum
to insure employees against accident
and sickness. He was born in Mar
shall, Missouri, of Kentucky stock,
and about the only thing he cannot
do successfully is to smoke a cigar
while working at his desk-he admits
this ruefully.
