CITY CELEBRATES TOOTH BIRTHDAY Abo, Finland’s Former Cap- ital, Wishes to Adopt More Modern Name. Abo, Finland’s former capital, has been celebrating its 700th anniversary. Turku, also former capital of Fin- land, has (to the confusion of the newspaper-reading public) been cele- brating its 700th anfiiversary. “These are not twin cities,” explains a bulletin from the headquarters of the Natlonal Geographic Society. “Serateh Abo and you will find Turku. “Like many other towns in countries that asserted their individuality after the World War, this former Finnish capital wishes to drop its old label (in| this case of Swedish origin) and to be known to the world by a name from its own language. But habits cling, and Abo and Turku must for a time live side by side in the world’s news. Located on Southwest Coast. “Abo, or Turku, lies on the south- western coast of Finland, where the Aura River empties into the Baltic Sea. almost bisected by the nar. Aura, which is dotted with s of craft, steamers, trawlers, motor boats and white-sailed market boats, many of which are painted a bright red,” says the bulletin. “Al- though it has more than 60,000 people, ‘Turku is a quiet place, where the Finns walk leisurely along the cobble-stoned ets and throngs of people such as rush down American thoroughfares are unknown. The streets are traversed by 1 hang from tall white, handsomely carved standards. “The market place is the busiest spot in Turku. Every morning at 6 o'clock peasants and peddlers arrive to set up stalls and booths in the im- mense square in the middle of the town which serves as the market. Some come in wagons and some in boats. The latter can come up the River Aura and land in the streets nearby. Com- merce is rife until noon. After that the stalls are bundled up and the square is deserted except for stray pe- destrians. “An unusual feature in Turku's food is furnished by the ‘mourning cakes' which the city's bakers cook for dis- tribution at funerals. They are wrap- ped in black crepe and tied with black ribbon. The variety of cakes in a Turku pastry shop, in addition to these som- ber tidbits, would bewilder an Ameri- can_baker. “Turku is the principal starting point for passenger traffic to Sweden, but it takes an experienced mariner to reach the sea from that place. The town is protected by the Aland Archipelago, thousands of islands and islets and rocks which form one of the densest island groups in the world. In Winter an icebreaker is used to keep a channel open among the islands; and as Fin- nish Winters are long and cold the ice- breakers are kept busy. “Turku has an anomalous position. It is Finland’s first and second city. In population and commerce it is second to the present capital, Helsingfors. In culture and learning it is first. Fin- land’s first university was located there and at present there are two such in- stitutions, one for Finnish-speaking and one for Swedish-speaking students. Nation's First Capital. “Turku was Finland's first capital Christianity was first taught there, and the first Christian converts were bap- tized in the River Aura. cathedral and the oldest castle in Fin- land are to be found in Turku, and nearly all the historic homes of the Finnish nobility are in or near the city. “With the exception of the cathedral and the castle, modern Turku has been built since the disastrous fire of 1837, when the old town was almost entirely destroyed in a blaze that burned for five days. Both the castle and the ca- thedral are grim structures with little exterior ornament. The cathedral has a long, narrow vaulted interior and most of the immense treasure which was once kept there has disappeared. “Part of the castle is now a museum and is furnished with pieces of old Fin- nish furniture. Visitors can still see the dungeon, ‘six fathoms deep and black as pitch,’ where prisoners were kept. In the great central hall is a high gallery from which a cruel ruler once had unruly subjects hurled to the floor below. One cell in the castle is still known as the malefactor’s resting place.” CHOICE - PIANOS - FOR_ ENT The oldest | I WORCHS 1110 G EsT.1879 | Special Low Fare EXCURSION To CINCINNATI (OAKLEY & E.
