S. bureau' of labor statistics. - j ; This lower Cost of living in Portland may be ascribed to the jfact that costs of doing business are lower in Portland, especially as to . taxes, business" rentals and delivery costs. Jin all three of these respects Portland has a 'slight advantage lover other Pacific coast cities of the same size or larger-, and a material advantage over the larger cities of the east. I Latest statistics by' the labor bureau include a compar ison of . cost of living in 1913 wih June, 1927. Nineteen cities arejeovered in the comparison. Following are the fig iures for all nineteen, with the percentage of increase in cost vi living from 1913 to June, Baltimore .r. - Boston Buffalo. ....... Chicago . .". Cleveland . .

SeatUe Washington Note in the foregoing list ern cities and, also several cities of smaller population than Portland. In general, living costs are materially less in the south,' andalso are usually much less in small cities and rural territory, than in large cities. The larger the city, as a rule, the. higher thcliying .costs. , Taking all the foregoing into consideration, the showing made by Portland from 1913 to June3 the nineteen cities, big or small, south or north. Along with its figures for the nineteen cities, the labor bureau shows the average increase of cost of living for the United States as 73.4 per cent over 1913, a per cent of in crease far in excess of the 53.7 per cent increase for Portland. : Portland shows to advantage not only in the comparison bf total cost of living, but in each of the five individual classi fication within the total.

What is the revolutionary of today becomes the habitual of tomorrow. The world moves, fast these days. : The authority quoted above does not give the percentage for Salem, but it is very safe to assume that the increase here in the cost of living from 1913 to June of this.year has been less than for Portland ; . . '" And that the' figure to start with was lower. It is also very certain that food prices in Salem are lower on the average than for Portland, and the clothing prices, too, and housing, and fuel and lights, and household goods and furniture, and miscellaneous items, too. The showing for Portland is very good; and the showing that can fee made for Salem is far better. 4 In the month of June, 1958 jobless people registered at the free employment office in Portland, and 1764 in Salem. From the Portland office, 1923 were sent to jobs, and from the Salem office 1052. The Salem district needs only to keep on keeping on, with its industries on the land and in the city, and it will grow up to approximate the size of Portland industrially one of these fine days. The trend of industries employing large forces is away from the big cities, all over this country. It wilj continue. . . - " n uamz on MOBtJtN tin tuxovcu tui uxorrviAWgiKi sl v . . a THE CHARACTERS Helen, an ancient lady with mod ern ideas. Menelaos, her husband while she stayed at home. -.

It is the central figure of Helen back in Sparta, "unre pentant, too, beautiful to" kill,'! that this story is concerned with. HELEN'S RETURN r Chanter I The point of the story Is that Paris gave the prize, to Aphrodite, not "because' she bribed him, but because she was beautiful. After all, it was a contsjt of beauty, though; Athena and It era started a discussion about wisdom and pow er. It was they who tried to bribe him. ' They had their merits and they had arguments, but Aphro dite was the thing; Itself. Her improbable?-remark, then, that , he would some day marry Helen, interested Paris as. a divine experiment in prophecy. It might happen or it might not. Mean while he did wonder what Helen looked like. He needed travel. He. might as well visit Sparta as any otners place ' ' r When he came' to the house of Menelaos,. the gatekeeper let him in, and ' since he was a' stranger they "Wouldn't ask 'his name norJ his errand, tjll. he had food. and rest. Menelaos put off a Journey he had thought of, and practised the sacrament of hospitality. But when he found out who it was, he told Paris to make himself free in the house,, and after polite ex cuses went down to Crete, as he bad planned. So they all intended well. But Paris saw Helen, face to face. . Chapter H , When the war ended in Troy, With the fall of the, pity.

' The sword embar rafsed',himw.' l i r, ; "Helen," he said, it's time we went '. home. ,'..."-"; '.; : ' ; ' . ''; lThey tell the story another way, too.' Menelaos wasfnot alone, they say, when ; he came on Helen. Agamemnon was there, and others, tor witness the final 'justice of the long. war. When Menelaos saw Helen standing there, he was con scious of his escort Ansef and strength oozed out of him, but those sympathetic friends were at hand,- to see . a 'husband do his duty. . He raised the sWord Iow-ly--not slowly enough. . TheV he heard -Agamemnon's , Voice. ryour; wrath might as well stop 1 herej "Mgpeltosj iyorn're rot your wlfr back- why;, kill ; her ? Priam's I city J is" taken, Pafls ' Is dead, yon hare your rerenge, 'To who ask what caused the war. Sparta had no share in the guilt; it was Paris entirely, who came as a guest and violated your hos pitality." . Menelaos understood why his brother was called the king of men. But later in the evening he was heard to say he would have killed Helen if Agamemnon had not interfered, ,. He had to. take her to the ships for the night, and sent her en ahead to take unprotected whatever insults the curious army might care to hurl at her. But the men gaaed in silence,- or al most bo. They didn't notice him: He heard one Bay she looked like Aphrodite, caught naked in the arms of Ares, when Hephaistbs, her ridiculous husband threw, a net over the lovers and called, the other gods to see her shame.' A second' man said he felt Jtlka'TTje other. gods on that, occasion, wTjo expressed a willingness to change places any time with Ares,.. ne; and all. Chapter 111 Some other men, that night when Troy was sacked, showed less restraint than Menelaos. AJax found Cassandra In Athena's temple, where, she served as pries tess, , There, as it were in the very presence of the goddess, he took his will of her. Afterward he admitted he had Injured the woman, but asserted that he had not desecrated the temple, tor Odysseus had 'already; stolen away the sacred image, and the room. therefore, if a shrine at all. was an abandoned one. But the dis tinction was not-likely to com mend itself to the diety, and Ag amemnon announced at. once that the ''fleet - would delay its home ward sailing, until prolonged and thqrough sacrifice had been of fered," lest the" goddess should wash;; their Bins Away in cold water. Agamemnon was tender in the matter from the moment -the prizes were distributed. Cas sandra fell to him.' All day he stood by the priest while the flames were fed on .the altar, and Menelaos stood beside him- the two kings without a rival, now that Achilles was gone. At dusk they let . theC. offerings burn down and smolder. "The sacrifices are well begunt" said" Agamemnon. ' ..; . . "(For me," said Menelaos, they are. ended.; It wasn't our own sins that brought J us to Troy bat as you said, last evening,. the gins of .others.

Why, there must be sacrifices, there are gods to think of, -the wide dark ocean, the ghotds of so many dead to quiet before we go." - ,r . ' 'The dead are at peace and the gods are satisfied." said Menelaoa; "we're giren the whole day to sae riUcinfc. The ocean remains wide and dart, .Agamemnon, will con tinue the" sacrifices for that, and for somepetfeer things prayer can not change, f He and the host yrilt stay a ' while longer, I gov home tomorrow with my men and my captives." With her, he meant, .He didn't know how to say it. Not "with hny wife and my captives." He hadn't the courage for "you and my other captlres." "Menelaos," she said. "You are wrong, and your brother is right. Those who are conscious of wrong doing need time for regret and for remorse, and those of us who are conscious of no wrong-doing, we most of all should offer sacrifices against our pride. If you had more visitors you would be more con ventional.". "If I hear you',"aid Menelaos "you are advising me not to de part from -established rules of conduct?" ) "That.Is my adrice," said Helen.
