ONE AFTERNOON IN ROME Rome is never seen in a day, but by morning and afternoon trips for several days, and then the sight-seeing days should be followed by a week or two just browsing about the city. In one afternoon it is possible to start near the Coliseum on the Appian Way, built in 312 B.C. It was the queen of all ancient roads and early was threaded daily with traffic for all the known eastern world. Its sides were flanked with the tombs of the Scipios, Clodius, Milo, Lίvia, Seneca, and other illustrious Romans. Scipio Africanus in 201 B.C. entered Rome by this road, Cicero was welcomed here with honors on his return from exile in 57 B.C., the apostle Paul entered Rome over its pave- ments, and Titus after he had destroyed Jerusalem was received with triumph along TRICK IN TRIPS the Via Appia. This road was three hun- dred and fifty miles long, marked with the earliest milestones.

LEYDEN, REFUGE OF LIBERTY Holland never erected a Statue of Liberty at the entrance to its principal city, but long before the American "land of the free and home of the brave," became important on the map, Holland was the European "Land of Liberty." At Leyden, ALL THE WAY TO EUROPE on the so-called old Rhine, you can renew your acquaintance with the shrines most notable in the country's contribution to freedom. Here John Robinson kept the light of religious liberty burning and in- duced his parish of "Pilgrim Fathers" to embark on the Mayflower in 1620. Here is the "High School" started by William, Prince of Orange in 1575, which in a few years became the most famous University in Europe. Leyden is the only place on earth that ever refused to be exempt from taxation. When its prince in 1574 wanted to reward the inhabitants for their gallant conduct in a siege, he offered exemption from taxes or a University. They chose a University.

HAD ADAM AND EVE BEEN IRISH They say in Ireland that if Adam and Eve had been Irish there would have been no necessity to employ an angel with a fiery sword to keep them out of the Garden of Eden, for they would have booked passage at once for old Ireland, and kept away from Eden forever.
