We call them Christmas specials, but that doesn’t mean you HAVE to use them as gifts—they’re equally attractive from a “pres- ent wear” standpoint. . Saved Through Changes in | Fireproof Building Ratings. Thousands of dollars in insurance rates are expected to be saved to! owners of local fireproof buildings through .changes in the fundamental principles of rating the contents of | such buildings, it was learned today.

Through the aid of rating experts from New York and Philadelphia, and with the | support of the companies represented by Mr. Brown, the board of fire underwriters decided to change the method of making rating schedules affecting the contents of fire resisting ; buildipgs.

Portugal, invited to sit in at the ‘Washington conference, was the first European power to secure a footing in the far east. At first her eastern dominions and eastern influence grew until she controlled all the East Indies; later they gradually diminish- ed. Today, however, she still owns Macao, ceded by China in 1557, and also half the island of Timor, a hody of land 12,450 square miles in extent, which is a part of Malaysia, lying just north of Australia, and is remote from any of the islands involved in the present Pacific problems. The Port of Macao, however, an Island of about five square miles, is of sufficient importance to make necessary the presence of representa- tives of Portugal at any conference dealing with far eastern problems. Macao is situated in southeastern China on the South China sea, at the mouth of the Canton river. It is on the opposite side of the river from the _ . STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
