C. headquarters: Llioa Aires In not merely the ft and chief port of a South ..an republic. It la a world cen city of superlatives, cotrat "radoxes. -population of close to 2,000, likes it, by a wide margin, tho ;lla of South America and I'lthem hemisphere. It Is the 't f Spanish-speaking cities, ' nearly three times, s many ,ints as Madrid. It Is greater Jl Latin cities except Turin. new world it shares third iith Philadelphia; only New nd Chicago surpass it. And jiat Petrogrnd and Moscow .shrunk, while Berlin and i are markinjr time, it proba ta or soon will rank as the tfity of the world, led only J two metropolises of Europe, wo of i North America, and In Asia. m great city is the focus of Iture, thought, politics, econo nd social life of Argentina as a the funnel through which he millions of pounds of dren nts and the millions of buish wheat which make up the con jn of the republic to the hung ples of the old world. In its 1 aspect it is a combination W York and Paris. Its lanjr s the language of Spnin, but other things Spanish have hrunt aside. Its Inhabitants laugh at the Idea of a mid-day -so generally observed i n Spanish-American countries, wession of 'mnnnna' has leen led; tho people of Buenos live in the throbbing present, fctrenulously about their Imsi- n streets whose- hustle and; are in balm to the heart of mesiek New Yorker who feeto fter all he ennnot be far from and Wall or Forty-second and way. ' Subways., . commute'-!! tiler buildings than can be found In any other city In South America heighten the illusion. " "The rapid development of Argen tina hua made innumerable, fortune and the 'stream of gold has been poured lavishly into the lap of Buenos Aires. In no other city perhaps, can one see so strikingly displayed tho evidences of extreme opuUinco. And while a largo propor tion of the populace Is fairly well to do, marked contrasts ore not lack I"Ki ' especially in the case of many of the recent immigrants who live In squalid hovels on some of the outskirts of the city. "In progress and tho possession of vision tho people of Buenos Aires are unsurpassed even by the restless builders of North America's greatest cities. For centuries after its establishment Buenos Aires was without a port. Ship) anchored miles form the shallow, sandy shore and all freight was handled in light ers. Within the last 25 years the municipality has constructed the largest artificial docks in the world. These provide adequate facilities for the thousands of ocean vessels nnd coasting craft that put Into Its port annually. "The narrow checkerboard of streets In the business center which the Colonial Buenos Aires bequeath ed to the world-city of today has been a constant embarrassment in the face of the demands of modern business. The municipality has widened some of these narrow ways at a cost of many millions of dollars, Into stately and handsome avenues, and Is carving other arteries of traf fic diagonally through the closely packed squares. "In the newer parts of the city streets of ample width and numerous broad avenues have been laid out, Many of the avenues are lined with the costly palaces of Argentina's multi-millionaires. It is in this part of the city and In such semi-business avenues as the tree-rimmed Avenida Ie Mayo with Its mile or more, of fine hotels, clubs, cafes and business buildings de luxe, that Buenos Aires reminds the traveller of . Paris. The comparison is forced on the obser ver again when he drives In the nftemon through Palermo Park, the Hois do Boulogne of Buenos Aires, nnd becomes a part of the seeming ly interminable procession of smart equipages bearing their throng of well dressed men and women. "The men of Buenos Aires are up-to-date in all things; but its women nre even ahead of the times. They wear the latest Taris creations even before thev are donned by the Pa risiennes themselves. Climate must be given its rightful place in the ex planation ofthe paradox. Summer models are designed In Paris in De cember, and the reversal of the sna sons south of the equator makes those seeminjrly premature creations fitting attire in Buenos Aires in Jan uary and February when they reach tho beau monde of that distant me tropolis. "Buenos Aires is in the south lati tude corresponding to that of Charle ston, S. C, north of the equator, and has a climate somewhat like that of the country between Charleston and Norfolk though drier. Something more than half the population is made up of Argentinos. The two most important remaining factors are Italian and Spanish immigrants. There are relatively small numbers of British, North Americans, French and Germans, nnd a sprinkling of other peoples." I ! REMAINED KING OF HEAVEN Amusing Hindu Fabls Concerning the Qamblsr Who Succeeded In Outwitting Fate, . "What Is written on the forehead must come to pass ;". this is one of the mnjor articles In the Hindus' pessimis tic credo. Yet even India has Its un orthodox Philistines who deny the power of fute. They offer, In scat tered stories and proverbs, convincing evidence of their incredulity. A fablo tells bow two fishes named Fore thought and Jteadywlt escaped the fishermen, but Fatalist was caught and perished miserably. A rather unusual story tells how a tricky gambler out witted fate. After death he went to the other world. There Yama, the Judge of the dead, suld to him, "Gam bler, on account of your crimes you will have to live a world-cycle lh hell; but once on a time you gave a coin to a knower of the Supreme Soul; there fore you are to be Indra, the king of heaven, for single day. 80 say whether you will tukt out first your period In hell or your period as Indra." "I will take out first my period as la dra," answered the gambler. Then Yams sent him to heaven, and the gods, having deposed Indra, made the gambler sovereign In his place. Em ploying his new power the ephemeral Indra Immediately called to heaven all his gambling friends and female com panions; then he commanded the gods: "Carry us all In a moment to all the bathing places, both In heaven and on earth, and In the seven continents; and enter this very day Into all the kings on earth, and bestow, without ceasing, great gifts so that we may receive merit accruing from this gen erosity. Thus the gods did and by means of these holy observances the gu mbler's sins were washed away and he obtained the rank of Indra perma nently. When Tama was Informed of the matter the next day he exclaimed In astonishment, "Dear me! This gambler has cheated us!" Asia. WILL KEEP HISTORIC NAME Appellation of Sub-Treasury Building at Nw York Is Not to B Changed. Although the United States sub treasury in New York city has ceased to exist, in deference to the tradi tions of events and memories of his torical figures that have hallowed both the building and site. It will continue to be known as the Suhtreastiry build ing. With Independence hall at Phil adelphia, nnd Faneull hall at Boston, the bulldnlg Is one of this country's best known historic shrines. Kver since George Washington took oath of office as president at this sput, which was then the seat of the federal congress, It has been the scene of some of the most stirring and Important events In the annals of the city and couutry. Here the men whose names Illu mine the pages of American history have spoken, as well as those who later became the rulers of Euroie or the leaders of armies during the World war. Historical societies, on Important anniversaries, have claimed It as their own and have re-enacted the scents of history there. George Washington has been Inaugurated as President again and again, with all the pump and color of colonial days. Sunburn Remedy. One of the best remedies for a coat et sunburn la sweet cream. The cream Is healing and not the least bit Irritat ing to the most fiercely burned nose. The prepared "cold creams" are, of course, healing and bleaching, but are very apt to Irritate the sensitive mem ber. Before washing the face nib lightly with ordlimry sweet table cream, let stand as long as possible, then wash the face with lukewarm water, using no soap.

Greater New York Is peeved because It has been credited with some 400, 000 fewer people than it believes lives within Its boundaries, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat It has enough to lead London and thus be classed as the largest metropolis of the world, and If pride in nothing but the cum ber of people who manage to exist within the official limits of the city Is the, ruling spirit, New York ought to be satisfied with credit for hav ing the largest number. But It Is not satisfied and Is making count of its own. The census figures show an actual decline In the borough of Man hattan, which fact ought to envoke expressions of satisfaction Instead of the reverse. If some of the crowded masses of lower Manhattan have been able t find homes outside that dis trict, thus reducing the congestion and making living more comfortable for those who are compelled to remain, It should be a matter of generaL con gratulation. Why. is a census taken? Is It so that we may know exactly how many people there are in the United States and that municipal rivalries based en tirely upon the number of human be ings who live within the official boun daries may be determined? That Is all a great many people see In t Newspaper comment on figures given out Is purely numerical Perhaps that Is because we have only numerical data as yet Far more worth consid eration will be the facts as to the conditions of life, the social and re ligious status, the matter of employ ment, housing, etc, etc Any city gen unlnely interested in Its actual growth and conditions will pay more attention to such data than to the mere mat ter of numbers. HOLD SECURITIES AT HOME Manifest Advantages Are to Be Ob tained by Wise Investment in Local Industries. One of the generating plants In Cal ifornia decided to offer Its stock to Its customers. Instead of sending it to New York for needed funds. Its suc cess was 'Immediate, says the Society for Electrical Development. Employ ees of the company were the first to buy. This expressed their confidence in the safety of their company. boed on intimate knowledge of Its workings. The public eagerly followed. Today upward of 54O.000.O00 worth of cen tral station securities are owned by 30.000 Individuals, 90 per cent of whom heretofore never owned a utility stock. The growing popularity of customer partnershlpv la public utilities in lieu of the much-discussed municipal own ership and Its uncertainties may be the herald of a day when the American people, like their thrifty neighbors of France, will be partners In all their home utilities. Certainly there is val ue In having one's savings employed where they can be watched and there is patriotism and hard business sense, too, In helping to Increase earnings on the Investment by one's personal In terest In the Industrial progress of the home town. Town Planning. The familiar rush of the people from the land to the cities, so pronounced a feature of modern times, has encour aged congestion In most communities. Recourse to town planning has been forced by the necessities of efficient transportation and sound land values, as well as good health. It Is fashionable today to deplore the slums. Why provide new ones! Why add congestion to existing con gestion, when, simply by looking ahead and taking thought, healthy growth may be assured? Town planning provides the city with eyes to see where It Is spreading and to conform to the demands of busi ness and comfort. A city unplanned is a blind giant sprawling over the ground. It wastes some of Its great est assets In a building debauch. Every city that keeps order on Its streets must also keep order In its advance to greater size and Influence. It must put town planning traffic ex perts at Important corners on Its way. Montreal Star. Louisville Sets Good Example. Along the outskirts of Louisville, on the main highroads, "representatives" of the Louisville Automobile club are always on duty, day and night, extend ing welcome to the Incoming traveler, and good wishes to those departing. The representatives are inanimate, being made of wood and paint, but they have given good service to count less motorists. On one side of the signs, facing per sons coming into Louisville, is the word "welcome," with a summary of the more important city traffic regu lations. On the opposite elde Is "good by," and the distances to other towns along the road. According to Eugene Stuart, sec retary of the club, the signs are but one of the means taken by Louisville motorists to make the city remembered gratefully by visiting tourists.
