Mrs. PauLsen
AS a Lecturer

There is no lack of action
when Mrs. Paulsen lec-
lures. Her style is direct
and energetic. Her abil-
ity as a speaker is en-
hanced by her intense
belief in what she is say
ing. Her lectures are
delivered in a rapid-fire
manner, and the interest
and enthusiasm of her
audiences testify to her
ability to make life les
sons interesting.

WARS WORK MUST BE DONE
REFORE PEACE TALK COMES
President Wilson in Address Before American Federation
ofLabor. .b4akesFt Clear That He Opposes Negotia-
tions Looking,to End of Strife Until Victory is
Won-Knouus Way to Get Peace That
Will Last For More Than Minute
House Also Knobs


German competition came in, it
would not be resisted too far. De-
cause there was always the possibil-
ity ogf getting German armies into the
heart of that country quicker than
any other armies could get there
Stunning it up, he said that Germany
is determined that the political power
of the world shalt belong to her and
that never before had such ambitions
"been based upon so exact and pre-
else and scientific a plan of domi-
nation"
The president voiced in terms OF
enlogy his approval of the conduct Of
ministration. His references to Mr..
Samuel Gompers, p:fsident of the
American Federation of Labor, ana
the spirit of cooperation with the ad,-
ministration. His reference to Mr.,
Corners were loudly applauded.
Labor Goes On.
"While we are fighting for free
DOM" Mr.. Wilson asserted after the
reassurances, 'we must see among
other things that labor is free. We
must see it that the instrumental
ties by which the conditions of labor
are improved are not blocked and
checked Nobody has right to stop
the processes of labor until all the
methods of conciliation and settlement
have been exhausted
The president took occasion also to
denounce the mob spirit, which he
said sis displaying itself here and
there in this country He declared
that sif our men have not self-control
they are not capable of that great
thing which We call democratic
government.
A pledge of loyalty othe govern
ment was contained in the annual re-
port of the executive council of the
federation which was submitted to the
convention today. This report, ac-
cording to the usual procedure. was
referred to committee appointed by
Mr.. Gompers and its several sections
will be taken up by the convention as
soon as reported back.
Labor for Government.
Questions raised by the war occupy
virtually the entire report. No room
is left for doubt that the United
States government has the unanimous
support of organized labor in the war.
and it is asserted with equal en-
phasis that the vital interests of the
average citizen demand that he have
a voice in the readjustments to come
with the dawn of peace.
Optimism over labor achievements
in the last year is tempered with a
warning that benefits obtained from
emergency opportunities must be
based on principles of human welfare
and not the result of taking advant-
age of the nations necessity. Free
dom of expression is upheld, but the
report says those who abuse the free
dom of the press to undermine the
nations free institutions should be
punished as traiters.

" ure-seeker from waning
gayeties, our contempo-
raries in Argentina and Uruguay are
preparing to don their garbs of sum-
mer and seek rest and recreation along
the sandy beaches of .he far South
land. Nature reverses the season of
vacations, but not the pleasures them
selves, for when we glance at our re-
spective sports and pastimes there are
found many traits In common. Peoples

and doubtless nothing appeals more
strongly to the masses than old ocean.
The acknowledged queen of Argen-
tine seaside resorts Is Mar del Plata,
directly on the Atlantic ocean, about
$50 miles southeast of Buenos Aires,
says a writer in the Bulletin of Pan
American Union. The place Is little
city within itself, being credited with
25,OOO people. With the advent of

to assume greater activity, and the
height Of gayety is reached about the
time the people of the United States
are enduring the cold and SHOWS Of
midwinter. Additional thousands are
then added TO the southern resorts
population, business cares and ankle
ties are seemingly forgotten, and Ar
gentines find pleasures and diversions
at their greatest watering place.
To accommodate the crowds of pa
irons flocking seaward. the railway
leading to Mar del Plata operates nu-
merous trains in addition TO the usual
daily services. Indeed, some of the
best and most sumptuously equipped
trains to be found In all Argentina are
on the route between the capital city
and this famous resort. Those who
know the road and do not care to view
the country along the route, such as
the busy business man, usually avail
themselves of the specially provided

An Aztec Grain.

At the time of the Spanish conquest,
an ivory grain, finer than mustard
seed, was made into paste for moldins
into religious idols and was an impor-
taht food In these times of scarcity Of
maize. This grain, known to the AZ
tees as "huauhtli," was among the trib-
utes paid by the pueblos to Mon
tezuma. The botanical identity of the
seed was long unknown, but the COLI
lection of DIR. Edward Palmer in the
states of Slncola and Pallsco included
fish-egglike seeds of an amaranthus.
The plant was found both wild and un-
der cultivation, paste Of the seed and
sugar being sold under the name Of
"suale." DR.. w. Il. Stafford of tho
department of agriculture has recog-
nized In these specimens the sacred
"huauhtli" of Montezuma's time, and
suggests that this amaranthus might
be cultivated In favorable situations
Closely allied plants are cultivated In
India, Tibet, South America and A.
rica as grain crops.

and arising in Mar del Plata. The In
quiring stranger, however, generally
prefers the daylight trip through the
prosperous cattle region traversed by
the road. which offers interesting
glimpses of the endless pampa famous
in story and song. Mar del Plata, like
most exclusive resorts, is truly a para
disc for the people of wealth; but to
Judge from the vast crowds that pass
between the capital and the resort by
the sea. one Is inclined to think that
wealth is most generously distributed.
Picturesque and Luxurious.
Glancing back into history, we find
that about four decades ago such a
place as Mar del Plata did not exist
but schoolhouse. a mill and n chapel
formed the nucleus for larger settle
ment. About this time Don Paricio
Ramos secured concession to build
and improve the town, and the services

plans for a future city. Don Pierre
Luro, 40 the story Is told, who owned
much of the land thereabout, also aid
ed In the enterprise. Time passed and
tho place grew; but let us pass over
the early stages of progress and view
some of the resorts activities today.
Our train, If we choose the daylight
ride, has made the trip from Buenos
Aires in seven hours, so that our ar
rival Mt Mar del Plata is near the
hours of evening. We have time to
secure comfortable rooms at one of
the new hotels--that is, II the wise pre-
caution has been taken of ordering
reservations in advance of arrival.

the vicinity of the resort presents both
rugged, precipltous shores and smooth

features into one harmonious and de-

ance an encamped detachment of an
army.
Bathing, of course, is only one of the
attractions at Mar del Plata. There
are amusemehts for men, women and
children. For adults the famous So
cial club, housed in its own fine build
ing, has many attractions. It's doors
are open to members and their famil-
les only, and its halls are regarded ns
among the resorts most popular social
centers. This club is open from De-
cember to April. Many beautiful walks
and drives along the seashOre cliffs
and inland from the water are provid-
ed for those inclined to wander far
from the "madding crowds ignoble
strife;" retreats for those who would
look out over the vast expanse of the
ocean and mediate; quiet spots for
the dreamer or for the pleasure-worn
society victim.
On the other hand. there Is an ar
ray of sights at Mar del Plata that
cannot fail to please those seeking
gay social life and amusement. Bands
of music outdoors and orchestras with

lessons, shooting matches, card games
and, indeed, hundred and one other

reigns supreme. The golf club and the
jockey club are two other popular
places of amusement frequented by the
higher classes of society.
The absence of the familiar automo-
bile, so plentiful in other Argentine
cities, attracted the writer's attention.
Possibly today the carriages and fine
steeds are being relegated to the rast ;

A lengthy and beautiful structure
known as the Rambla, extends along
the most popular section of the bath
ing beach. The sands and breakers in
front of the Rambla furnish the wa
terry playground for thousands of peo-
pie. Unlike the coarse largely fol-
lowed by the coastal resorts of the
United States, the hotels and clubs at
Mar del Plata, as rule, are located
back In the city. This fact causes the
people TO congregate in larger numbers

Fine Bathing Beach.
In front of the Rambla the sea
washes the sandy sloping shore, and
it is there that visitors by hundreds or
thousands enjoy the bathing during
morning or afternoon hours. For
those who are just learning the art of
sistmming or are afraid of the sea, a
fine extensive pool of quiet water is
provided on shore. This attraction is
surrounded by fence and within the
inclosure are seats, usually well patron
lied by those who enjoy the an
tics of the novice. Another feature of

today to buying movements on the
board of trade, and swept grain and
provisions upward to what some big
dealers referred to as nearly a famine
basis. Wheat jumped to $500 a
bushel for May delivery, more than
double the ordinary value In times OF

topmost point reached, $2.O1 6-S to

ton of winter wheat was as low as

fever of buying.
Despite profit taking on a large
scale, corn advanced with wheat.
Breaks were Of short duration. Oats
sympathized with other grain, but
were relatively weaker than other
cereals owing to competition OF
Canadian oats.
Provisions, like grain, felt the
stimulus of war demand. Diminish

vances in the hog market were addi-
tional strengthening factors.
