Capitol of Argentina and Congr Square, Bueno Aire.
(Prepared by Ihe National Oeoerpble
Society, Weehlugloa, D. CI
ON OWOSITE titles of the wlJe
estuary of the Itlo de la IMnta,
only few hour steaming
distance apart, lie two of
South Auierlca'a greatest cities.
Buenoe Aires, capital of Argvntltia,
and Montevideo, capital of Uruguay.
Buenos Aires means "good air," or
"delightful breeses," If one la willing
to translate less literally. The city Is
not merely the capital and chief port
of a South American republic. It la
a world center a city of superlative,
contrasts and paradoxes.
Its population of slightly more than
2.000.1KO makes It, by wide margin,
the metropolis of South America and
the southern hemisphere. It Is the
greatest of Spanish-speaking cities,
having nearly three times aa many In
habitants as Madrid. It U greater
than any other Latin city except
Taris. In the New world It shares
third place with Philadelphia; only
New York and Chicago surpass It
And now that I'etrograd and Moscow
have shrunk while Vienna Is marking
time, It probably ranks or soon will
rank as the eighth city of the world,
led only by the three metropolis of
Europe (London, Berlin and Parts),
the two of North America (New York
and Chicago), and Tokyo and Osaka
In Asia.
This great city Is the focus of the
culture, thought, politics, economics,
and social life of Argentina as well
as the funnel through which pour the
millions of pounds of dressed meats
and the millions of bushels of wheat
which make up the contribution of the
republic to the hungry peoples of the
Old world. Its language Is the Ian
gunge of Spain, but many other things
Spanish have been thrust aside. Its
Inhabitants would laugh at the Idea
of a midday siesta so generally ob
served In most Spanish-American
countries. The rapid development of
Argentina has made Innumerable for
tunes, and the stream of gold has
been poured lavishly Into the lap of
Buenos Aires. In no other city, per
haps, can one see so strikingly dis
played the evidence of extreme opu
lence! . -
I Making a Marvelous City.
In progress and the possession of
vision the people of Buenos Aires
are unsurpassed even by the restless
builders of North America's greatest
cities. For centuries after Its estab
lishment Buenos Aires was without
a pert- Ships anchored miles from
the shallow, sandy shore and all
freight was handled In lighters. With
in the last twenty-five years the mu
nicipality has constructed the largest
artificial docks in the world. These
provide adequate facilities for the
thousands of ocean vessels and coast
ing craft that put Into Its port an
nually. The narrow checker-board of streets
In the business center which the colo
nial Buenos Aires bequeathed to the
world-city of today has been a con
stant embarrassment In the face of
the demands of modern business. The
munlciiKillty has widened some of
these narrow ways at a cost of many
millions of dollars. Into stately and
bnniitonie avenues, and Is cnrvlng
other arteries of traffic 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 mul
timillionaires. It Is In this part of the
city and In su-h seml-buslneiis ave

Mayo with Its mile or more of fine ho.

minds the traveler of Paris, The com
parison Is forced on the observer
ngalo when he drives In the afternoon
through Palermo pnrk, the Holt de
J'oulogne of But'tios Aires, and be
comes a part of the seemingly Inter
minable procession of smart eiilingee
bearing their throng of well-dressed
men and women.
The men of Buenos Aires are up to
date in all things; but Its women are
even ahead of the times. They wear
the latest Pnrls creations even before
they are donned by tlie-l'itrislennes
themselves. Climate must be given
Its rightful place In the explanation
of this paradox. Summer models are
designed In Paris In December, and
the reversal of the seasons south of
the Equator makes these seemingly
premature creations flttlng attire In
Buenos Aires In January and February
when they reach the beau monde of
that distant metropolis. Buenos Aires
Is In the south latitude correspond
lug to that of Charleston. S. 0, north
of the Equator, and has a climate
somewhat Ilk that of the country be
tween Charleston and Norfolk, though
drier.

Montevideo, on the northern shore
of the estuary, presents In Its tempo
something of a contrast to Buenos
Aires. Physically, It Is situated so
that It Is one of the healthiest cities
In. the world, and It has an equable
climate which makes It a delightful
place to live In. In addition It pos
sesses an atmosphere free from the
bustle and noise of the more modern
end commercial Buenos Aires and the
more metropolitan Itlo. Because of
these features, Montevideo bos become
the resort city of South America' At
lantic coast Thousand of wealthy
South Americans are to be found there
at nearly all seasons of the year, par
ticipating In the carnivals, gambling
in the great government-owned ca
sinos that may be compared to those
of Monte Carlo, or merely enjoying
the restful life of this city which till
clings to the Spanish bnblt of look
ing to "manana." Since Montevideo
la in the southern hemisphere Its sea
sons are the reverse of those In the
Cnlted States. Visitor are especially
numerous for the bathing season
which begins in October, correspond
ing to the northern May, and Is at It
height at Christmas, the southern
midsummer.
Perached Impression of Monte
video will bring to mind many similes
and contrasts with better known cities.
Like New York It covers a narrow
strip of land from shore to shore. In
this case a peninsula. But In archi
tecture It Is the antithesis of the
North American metropolis, being
made up of a seemingly vast number
of low stone buildings, a few two or
three stories In height, the great ma
jority of them but one story. The
principal thoroughfnre, "The Avenue ;
of the Eighteenth of July," extending ;
along the ridge of the peninsula, with j
Its colonnades and sidewalk cafes, j
gives a touch of Paris. And as a
great packing center for the live stock
produced on the unsurpassed pasture
of Uruguay, Montevideo I comparable
to Chicago or Kansa City. Evidence
of this fact Is sometimes wafted on
the winds when they blow to the city
from the sent of the gigantic lndustrv
across the lay. '
Clings to Old Custom. 1 .
In physical equipment Montevideo
Is modern. It Is well lighted, well
watered, adequately supplied with
transportation facilities, and most ad
mirably drained. Socially It cllnw

and women, and unlesa a Montevldlnn

A cloistered life can hardly be said
to have affected the appeurance ol
the women adversely. Throughout

Montevideo has nearly a scors ol
