TEAMS WARMING Up
FOR BASE BALL CONTEST
Republicans to Cross Bats
With Democrats on Dia-
mond Next Saturday.

Those members of the republican base
ball team Of the House who have re-
manned In Washington. despite the Chi
cago convention, and who are to play
ball against the House democrats at
American League Park next Saturday
afternoon for the benefit Of the play
grounds and the Boy Scouts Of the Dis
trict, are getting into excellent shape, &C
cording to Representative C. B. Miller OF
Minnesota, who is the republican leader
on the diamond.
Mr. Miller said he expected all the
members of his team back from Chicago
in time to take part in the game Satur-
day Among those who are in the con-
yention city are Representative Kendall
of Iowa, scheduled to nominate Senator
Cummins for the presidency at the re-
publican convention; Representatives Por-
ter Of Pennsylvania and Slemp OF Vfr-
ginia.
Democrats Also Alert.
Representative Webb. captain Of the
democratic team, is alseputting his men
through a course Of training and they
are all doing their twenty miles day.
The democrats are predicting decided
victory.
Representative Miller. who is a strong
supporter of the Fairgrounds and the
Boy Scouts. for whose benefit the game Is
to be played. said today:
The public Fairgrounds are doing
great work in the cities of the United
States. They provide for the development,
of the physical side Of the race. most
necessary development. which has been
too much neglected during the last 1oe
wears. II there Is to be a sturdy race OF
Americans IN the future. the children
must be given plenty of out-of-door exer-
else. In the cities. especially where the
population is congested. such exercise car
be obtained by the children only on the
specially provided public Fairgrounds.
Commends Boys Movement.
THE Boy Scouts movement provides ar
outlet for a natural inclination on the
part Of boys to seek responsibility and
to be scouts This inclination is the
same as that which led the boys, when
l was a boy, to read Deadwood Dick and
other such dime novels and stories OF
adventure. l believe that the Boy Scouts
are also doing a good work for the youth
of the country"

COST OF LIVING HIGH
Great Prices Prevail in South
American Nations.
CONDITIONS ARE CITED
Dr.. Aughinbaugh and Wife Tell Of
Experiences.
HAVE SERVANT PROBLEM
Troubles in Latin Nations Differ
From Those Here,
However.

DR.. william q. Aughinbaugh and wife,
formerly Of this city. are back In the
United States after an extensive trip
through South America. during which
they covered q distance OF more than
$4,000 miles. DR.. Aughinbaugh, who was
at one time practicing physician in this
city. now lives in Boston, and travels
South America for q wholesale drug firm
Of that city.
Speaking Of conditions in the several
South American countries, Mrs. Aughin-
baugh declared that the servant problem
as It is known in this country does not
exist down there, but that they have
servant problems Of their own. For in
stance. says Mrs.. Aughinbaugh. the serv-
ing maids are not permitted to leave the
house during the afternoon, for the rea-
son that they are likely to remain away
indefinitely. When told that American
housekeepers must allow their maids one
afternoon OF each week South American
matrons shrug their shoulders and ex-
claim at the popularity OF housekeep-
ers In tho states"
High Cost Of Living.
The high cost Of living is a live issue
in South America, and extends to every
branch Of public and domestic life. Many
Of the shops in Buenos Aires. says Mrs.
Aughinbaugh. charge their patrons 2 cents
for riding upstairs In the elevators. Res
taurants and cafes make q special charge
for bread, and the bread Is charged in
the bill whether 1t is eaten or not. Chairs
at the cafes cost 20 to so cents each, gold.
and the service costs Is to 80 cents per
person, In addition to the charges for food
a. nd tn have n collar l9undered
costs 10 cents, and the dentist who ce-
ments a cap on your tooth. requiring only
a few minutes Of his time and an inf1ni-
tesimal quantity of cement. hands you
bill for SO.
Also Costly to Die.
Costly as 1t is to live, however, Mrs.
Aughinbaugh declares it costs much more
to die. Everything connected with
funeral is taxed; the floral tributes must
be paid for at fixed rates, the tax on
crosses being somewhat lower than rates
for wreaths and bouquets. In addition,
tax Is levied on the hearse. the horses,
the number Of carriages, the number Of at
tendants and everything in connection
with the obsequies The tax for four
horse hearse Is three times the tax levied
on one drawn by two horses. Taxes on
funeral Of the better sort, says Mrs.
Aughinbaugh. aIrount to about 1000.
Surgical OPERATIONS are expensive lux
uries dowr,there. An American, who was
perated on for appendicitis. called on
the. american consul. at Buenos Aires
AID complained of the amount Of his bill.
rhe surgeon had charged him $2,ONO. but
the consul couldn't do anything for him.
as the charge was the usual one for
operations Of that kind.
DR.. and Mrs. AuShinbaugh will remain
In the United States for several weeks
before returning to South America. ana
expect to visit relatives and friends In
Washington.
