DUENOS AIRES. Dec. 2. - TAX
ID en- in bulk the businessmen of
Buenos Aires more easily re-
semble the Chicago type than any
other.
OF course, this resemblance is con-
siderably qualified. For one thing,
"A-B" Is predominantly q Latin city.
1t is maybe 80 per cent Spanish, 20
per cent Italian and 30 per cent very
much mixed, but with good deal of
Latin blood even in the mixture.
Nevertheless there is a resemblance
to Chicago. The businessmen dress
well and look prosperous, but they
are not as strictly conventional as the
New York model.
To pick out a distinctly Argentine
type" however, is a hard undertake
ing. Argentine is a melting pot of the
nationalities, to be sure, but the
nationalities have not yet had time
to do much melting. It is true there
is small element in Argentine which
has been Argentine for as many gen.
erations as the real original popula-
ton of the first thirteen States has
been American. This group is so
small, however, in proportion to the
mass of much newer arrivals as to
be scarcely noticeable.
Native English q Queer Type
To an Anglo-Sax eye the English
Argentines are about the queerest
people, to be Argentines, that there
are to be found in Buenos Aires.
To all outward appearances most of
these individuals are absolutely Eng
lish. They look English. They speak
perfect English. The chances are
they speak even Spanish with an Eng
lish accent. They seem to think like
Englishmen and they are of English
parentage.
Yet when you come to investigate
you find that they were born in Ar
gentina, consider themselves Argen-
tines and, while they may sympathize
with England in the present war, for
instance, say openly they would be
Argentines, as against England, II
there should ever be any Anglo-Ar-
gentine friction.
The North American Argentines
are the same way, though there are
not so many of them.
The same thing is true of the var
ious sorts of Latin Argentines. In
their case, however. the contrast be-
tween what they are and what they
appear to be is not so pronounced
since 1t is the popular conception
that an Argentine is Latin anyway.
If you are born in Argentina you
are an Argentine. This is the law
There is no getting out of it and stick
ing to the country of your parentage

You remember your own part in it as
reached that part of her holiday prepa-
rations by the fact that she got down
the large mixing bowl-not the second
largest one, but the very big. yellow
one with stripes about 1t. You knew
what was going to happen next. and
by way of preparedness you went for
hammer while Mother got down the
old smoothing iron and produced a
basket of walnuts and shellbarks.
While you hammered and picked,

Switching" enough of both to give him
stomachache long before the sweet,
gastronomic joys about to be realized.
And then the bird and the animal
cutters-used only at Christmas time!
The unsung inventor of those impor-
tant contributors to the joy of the sea-
son 1t is to be hoped is getting his
just reward on high. Certainly. he de-
serves perennial Christmas pleasures,
for there is nothing under the great
dome quite so meltingly delicious as q
fresh bird-shaped Christmas cookie
with raisin eye, unless it be raging
lion treated generously to sugar and
cinnamon and stabbed to the heart with
walnut kernel. What fun it was to
be allowed to help cut them! And
when the oven had yielded UP its
smoking treasure, with what antici-
patton you helped store the golden
harvest away in that deep, sweet well
of human happiness, Mothers cookie
jar.
It's all very we'll to advertise "bread
like Mother used to make" but we pro-
pose to rise right up and protest when
ever anybody outside the family begins
to trifie with Mothers cookies, fig
uratively or otherwise.

The nerve of him! Why. the fell

christmas cookies. right from
Mothers jarl" The very idea! YOU
know the mans taking. First place,
Mother never could. or can, make
enough Christmas cookies to meet a
large and growing local demand; and
second place, Mother would just as
soon think of selling the family Christ
mas turkey as a pound of those fiakey

monty known as cookies.
All of Mothers cookies were, and
are, of the premium winning variety.
We say ARE for this is no tale of
merely youthful memories; Mother
makes 'em now as of yore, and their
flavor holds true to early form. All
Mothers cookies, then. were and are
good, but the Christmas cookie was
and is, in a class by itself.
Making the Christmas cookies is q
rite of household Importance second

CAMP CURTIN CHURCH

n LII Harrisburg and many old SOL
IA diers over the State will join in
congratulating the congregation
of the handsome new structure which
is to be at once its place of worship
and a permanent marker for one of
the most famous of Civil War camps.
Camp Curtin Memorial Church, has
had career not marked all the way
by flowers and good cheer. Erected
when the Tenth ward had scarce q
half hundred houses. as an off-shoot
of Grace Methodist Church, by David
Catterel, the well-known businessman;
William S. Walter, now of Chicago,
and others of that congregation, the
little church grew with the population
uptown and was rebuilt to twice it's
original size. Scarcely had the i'm
provements been made before the
building was destroyed by fire. and
the dauhtless membership had to be-
gin all over again. That they built
a bigger and better church on the site,
and kept on rebuilding and enlarging
until the handsome church building
dedicated last evening has resulted is
an indication of the zeal and energy
that has marked the organization
since the very day it was formed.
1t was happy thought to have
named the church for the old camp
site. 1t would be altogether proper
for the State. as has been suggested,
to purchase the small plot adjoin-
ing on which to erect a memorial to
Governor Curtin, the great war Gov
ernor, whose name was given to the
camp when it was called into being
following the outbreak of the rebel
lion.

Your flutt'ring heart need feel no

Nor need you fly in fright so fast

And men speak often things unkind
of you,

That in the meanest thing some good

FOREIGN COMPETITION

NOR those who believe that foreign
competition will cut a COM
paratively small figure follow

Prof. Francke, editor of the Soziale
Praxis, Berlin, who predicts that an
inevitable industrial consequence of
the conflict will be the strengthening
of the position of German employers,
individually and associated into fedora.
tions, will be of more than passing in
terest. In the course of the war; Prof.
Francke says, the position of the en-
ployer already has enormously in
creased and although their numbers
has been diminished their strength
does not rest so much on their num-
bers as men as on the number of
their establishments, but he foresees
trouble for them after the war, for
all that. Says he:
AS a rule, these establishments
have improved and strengthened
their positions, and have increased
& in concentration: There are now
trials. Unity among them is prac-
tically complete, and there can be
no longer any DOUBT tnat German
industrials after the war will go
hand-in-hand with the agricultural
alliances and with the middle class
leagues.
The leading men of the most i'm
portant industries are already stat
ing through the press that their
principles remain unchanged, and
that they are the masters of the
situation. They insit that Social
Democracy shall learn a Lesson from
the war, and rewrite the principles
which have hitherto guided it. But
they themselves decline to rewrite
peace comes, there will be peace
and relief from years of bloodshed,
but the war of labor will succeed it,
and no one knows whittier its bat
ties will lead.
The better labor conditions are in
Germany-and Europe as a whole
the better labor conditions in the
United States will be, and the less our
business people would have to fear
from foreign competition. Cheap
labor abroad has made necessary to
American prosperity in normal times
a tariff wall to balance the difference
of wages here and elsewhere. Conse-
quently, contest between labor and
capital in Europe, with higher wages
and shorter hours as the objects of the
men. would be of incalculable advan-
tage to all the people of the United
States.
