RN order to study the trade situation
in Paraguay, M. Drew Carrel, COM
mercial representative of the
Buenos Aires branch of q New
York bank, recently made a trip
through that country, and in The
Americas he writes entertainingly Of
what he saw there. His article is thus
summarized in the bulletin Of the Pan
American Union:
The only practical routes of access
to the country, the heart of one of the
richest agricultural regions of South
America, are the river and the rail
way running from Buenos Aires. a
thousand miles away, If Asuncion. the
capital and chief city of the republic,
be taken as the travellers destination.
There is direct connection between
Buenos Aires, via the Argentine Cen
tral, Entre-Rios, and Paraguayan Cen
trail railways, and Asuncion. Through
trains leave once a week each way.
on from Buenos Aires betimes, the
train arrives at Zarate early in the eve
ming, some sixty miles up country
where the expanse of the River Plate
has narrowed into the Parana. Here
all except the engine is run on to q
huge iron ferryboat for a four-hour
voyage up and across the river to
Ibicuy on the eastern shore. Nearly
all day Saturday is spent journeying
through the fiat country of Entre-Rios.
The orange groves increase, with here
and there tobacco fields, giving way
as the tropics are neared to numerous
royal palm trees.
Posadas, the last station in Argen-
tina, is reached and the train is again
run upon a large ferryboat and car
ried across the upper part of the Parana
river to Encarnacion in the Republic
of Paraguay. The level of the deck of
the ferry is some fifteen feet below the
level of the roadbed, on both sides of
the river, and it is necessary to lower
and raise the trains down and up an
incline by means of cables and steam
winches to the proper level. After
running over a switch-back on the
Paraguay side, Encarnacio9is reached,

STATE
ON SCIENTIFIC LINES.
Board OF State Aid and Charities Dis
cusses Plans.

Board OF State Aid and Charities Dis
eusses Plans.
At its weekly meeting the Board Of
State Aid and Charities determined to
arrive at a scientific basis on which
to calculate its recommendations to
the next legislature for appropriations
to the various charitable institutions.
Heretofore these recommendations
and appropriations have been based
on the amounts asked for by the var1-
GUS institutions, with some little refer
ence to the amount of work done. The
board feels, however, that this way OF
arriving at what the institutions
should have is not businesslike, and
that the state should endeavor to
work out some systematic distribution
of it's money to institutions. Accord
ingly the following committees were
appointed to confer with various au-
thorities in the city and elsewhere TO
work out such basis.
For General Hospitals-Dr. Hiram
Woods and William Levy.
Children's Institutions, Including
Reformatories-Dr.J ]. H. Mason Knox
and Thomas Bartlett.
For All Other NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Biggs and Emory L. Coblentz.
The president of the board, DR..
Briscoe, is ex-ofhcio member Of all
committees and the secretary to act
as their secretary.
The board also considered certain
proposed legislation and determined
to push the following measures:
First and most important, a consti-
tutional amendment which should pro-
hibit the making of continuing appro-
priations in the future and which
should also prohibit the making OF
lump-sum appropriations to private in
stitutions and make it necessary for
the legislature to base any money paid
to such institutions on contracts on
per capita system.
This measure is felt to be essential
to any budget system of state finances
and to be the only business-like
method of handling these appropria-
tions. 1t is the system which has been
in force in Baltimore city since the
adoption of the new city charter.
The board also approved a bih for
it's own reorganization. Under the
provisions of this act the composition
of the board would be changed so as
to make the governor member -
further to make the board rotatl.
body, so that at least half of its mem
bers shall alwayg be holdovers.

message, then sat down dismally at
her desk and hid her face in her hands.
Steadily the tears dropped down upon
the blotter; at regular intervals Flo

emotion swayed her. She began to

Really, Carolyn, I've been awfully

"Oh, you can cut all that out, Hall.
The simple reason is you're lazy. And
I'd just begun to believe that the little

toward the Office, had succeeded in
making you work. Well, never mind

"Oh. come nowl They'll be ready

Hall saw his chance and opened the
campaign with energy. Lord, the

always are the first one ask Carolyn

mental lights in his eyes.

"Of course! You know I'm awfully

"Really?" Carolyn repeated, her lips
beginning to quiver with mirth.

Asunclon a Busy City.
Asuncion, with about $4,000 inhabi-
tants, is the capital and principal bust
ness city Of the Republic. 1t is about
$50 miles north of Buenos Aires, and
is located upon a bay-shaped enlarge
ment of the Paraguay river, about two
and half miles long and one mile
wide, which affords ample shelter and
accommodation for many vessels. Be-
ing at the head of river navigation for
the larger river steamers, and the
place of transshipment for points
farther north, as well as the place
from which the principal highways
and trails into the interior dverge,
it is a center of commercial activity.
1t is the terminus of the railway from
the south. 1t has four banks, numer
Gus industrial plants, including saw
mills, ship repair and building yards,
soap and candle factories, shoe and
cigar-making establishments, two
breweries, and many pretentious
wholesale and retail mercantile
houses.
Most of the larger cities and towns
Of the country are located either ON
the Central Paraguayan railway or on
the Paraguay river. The most impor-
tant of these is Encarnacion, at the
southern boundary of the republic,
where the railway trains are ferried
across from Argentina. 1t has about
$4,000 inhabitants. The principal In
dustries of the district are grazing,
Underwriting and the preparation of
yerba mate. Encarnacion is a port
of entry and is the distributing point
for the southern portion of Paraguay
