live in. but the people were able to
pay the price This was not true, how
ever. of a large mass of people. There
was almost no poverty, but the ability
to buy beef was reaching a vanishing
point Nevertheless. the government
took no steps to embargo beef and
meat shipments. Instead. it eXerted its
energies toward increasing the number
of beef cattle and took stringent meas
ures to stop the slaughter of dairy
cows and breeding animals.
Then came the war, and quick con-
tracts made by the British government
for beef and mutton for the army. This
partly offset the loss of purchasing
power due to the decreased grain ship
ment. but it has caused many of the
poorer classes of the Argentinos to
give up meat as an article of food.
With the meat supply thus reduced,
the prospect of bread prices soaring
through the scarcity of wheat is one
that quite naturally causes Il popular
demand to keep the foodstuffs in the
country by means of an embargo.
While the embargo measure is thus
purely one of domestic necessity and
while there is no unfriendliness to-
ward the allies in it, it is not i'm
probable that a good many Argentine
wheat growers find satisfaction in the
action of the government. Two years
ago, when they had a surplus for ex-
port. they were subjected to the device
of the British government for keep
ing down prices. England could not
contract with the Argentine govern
ment for the wheat crop, as it has
done with Australia and Canada. but

How Arg@mtimas Grain Embargo Effects Food Shortage

United States must have, it is the
American tannery that would pay the
export tax.
Pending further discussion of the ex-
port taxes, the government has taken
immediate steps to augment the rev.
enues by increasing the import duties
on numerous articles from to per
cent These are manufactured COM
modities. An effort was made to i'm
pose a duty on coal and petroleum., but
it was not successful. Argentina is
exploiting petroleum deposits in the
southern part of the country, and these
are assured of the fostering influence
of the government, but their output
for years to come will be far from suf-
ficient to meet the national needs.
Coal is one of the commodities for
which Argentina is entirely dependent
substantially all of this coal was OBJ
tanned from England. England's naval
requirements and the requirements Of
her allies caused a hiatus in the coal
shipments to Buenos Aires, American
coal mine interests, which had been
studying the South American field, took
advantage of the opening and at once
began shipments. These are now rel
that the trade which thus has been
gained will be held when the war is
over and Cardiff and New Castle again
have coal with which to supply the
South American market.
The situation in which Argentina
finds itself is an illustration of how
quickly economic conditions change.
When the war broke out the country
was recovering from a semi-financial
and industrial panic. 1t was the first
of the South American countries to
reach a normal basis, and this was due
to the demand created for the agri-
cultural products. But when the agri :
cultural crops began to fail ard there
was little surplus for export the heavy
deprecia tion in foreign income caused
q halt in the advance. Then followed
the food shortage which has led up to
the embargo.
1t is a temporary food stress, but one
which illustrates the wide-reachins ef-
feet of the world war. Should the
Argentine government press on the
congress the imposition OF the export
duties there is no doubt that the en-
barrassment from decreased revenues
will be overcome. In the meantime,
however. the purchasing power of the
people as q whole will not be enhanced
and the foreign trade may remain sta
tionary for a while

Ei9hty Babies Born a Month in This Modern

culiar to Columbia Hospital is COM
prised in two four-hed rooms and one
single-bed recovery room, where moth
ers receive special care and attenton
for at least twenty-four hours after
the baby is born, and before they are
taken to their respective rooms and
wards below. These again are sepa-
rated from the nurses station by glass
partitions. so that all are under her eye
at all times. and no one save the doc
tors and nurses may set foot within
these premises.
This is a special provision we make"
said Miss Minnegerode. ''for we believe
that the absolute quiet and seciuston.
the close and watchful attendance. is of
material aid in many cases. Other Sc
cluded wards here stand in readiness
for other stages of motherhood"
i
The operating and maternity rooms
and other service rooms on this floor
are completed with the latest equip
ment and appliances known to science.
1t was while walking through this zone
of quiet that Miss Minnegerode. who
made an inquiry of a passing nurse, re-
marked that an infant had that mo-
ment been born. As if in verification
of the fact. a lusty yell followed the
remark The little American, born to
fight life's battle on the very day war
was declared. was evidently not a pact-
fist but he and the visitor were the
only Excited parties present.
The fifth floor of this haven OF
motherhood is given up to the kitchen
and dining rooms of the hospital The
great many -windowed kitchen seem
ingly had every necessary form of mod
ern culinary convenience and applt-
ance. The electric ice cream freezer
spoke for refreshing desserts. and
nearly automatic potato peeler per-
formed a good work in labor saving.
This main kitchen serves all the din
ingl rooms on the same floor and ali
pantries on lower floors by means of
electric dumb walters, except the third
floor private pantry, which is served
by dumb walters from the special diet
kitchen. A steam-heated hot box in
the kitchen provides one of the many
conveniences for the comfort of the
employees of the hospital, its use being
to keep fcod fresh and warm for nurses
whose duties keep them in the wars
through meal hours. This big kitchen,
the diet kitchen and the various pam
tries are all equipped with large re-
frigerators kept at unvarying temper
ature by a system of pipes running
from tank in the cellar containing
brine chilled by ammonia.
The superintendent's small dining
room and the larger one for the fifty
nurses are on this floor. They are in

country beyond, restful and CHEEKY

be in the face of the pressing need for
revenue.
Argentina is one of the few South
American countries which has not
adopted the policy of export taxes. 1t
has preferred to raise the bulk of its
revenues from import duties. Should it
now change it's policy, this would be
justified because of the extraordinary
situation. In view. of the urgent demand
for wool both in Europe and the Limited
States. the government might justify
it's action by assuming that the foreign
consumer would be the one who would
pay the full amount of the export duty.
Should Argentina adopt this course.
there is IL possibility that Uruguay.
whose wool shipments are large, would
also impose an export duty. Australia
is the only other section of the world
on which Europe and the United States
can draw for wool, and the Australian
wool clip already has been purchased
by the British government.
Ouebracho extract is another product
on which it is proposed to lay an ex
port tax This extract is used for
tanning and is shipped in large quanti-
ties to this country. The quebracho
forests in northern Argentina form one
of the most valuable sources of ma
tional wealth, and 1t may be that gov
ernmental policy will determine that
this asset should be made to bear it's
share of contributing to the national
revenue Since the quebracho wood is
a special product which tanners in the

all of metal providing easy and famil-
lar fire escapes, although the building is
strictly fireproof.
In the west wing of the hospital is
the dispensary department. where are
also the hospital pharmacy and en-
gineer's quarters. In the center of the
basement are the boiler and machinery
rooms, main switchboard and laundry.
In general the east wing of the build

the Washington public was among the
communities which had a chance to test
the quality of Argentine beef There was
difficulty, however, in obtaining refrlsfar-
ating capacity on the steamers, and the
trade did not become a large one.
At this period an agitation arose in
Argentina in favor of an embargo
against meat shipments. Notwith-
standing the heavy production of beef
the Argentina public found that the
foreigner was getting the chief benefit
The high cost of living was made
higher through these meat shipments
1t used to be said that a sirloin steak
cost SO per cent more in Chicago than
it did in London. In Buenos Aires an
Argentine sirloin cost 100 per cent
more. This was partly due to the un-
usual prosperity. which made every
thing dear.

the price was kept down.
A further measure which may be
taken is likely to cause inconvenience
to the United States as well as to Eng
land and France. This is the proposal
to lay an export tax on wool and other
products.
Argentina does not need to keep the
wool at home. but the government does
need more revenue. The exports Of
wool during the last three years have
ranged from 259.000.O0O pounds to 265.-
100000 pounds annually. The Boston
wool market has absorbed much of this
which formerly went to Europe, but
the allies have taken considerable
quantities by direct shipments.
A bill is now pending in the Argen--
tine congress for an export duty OF
per cent ad valorem on wool The
Argentine Rural Association has pro-
tested against the duty on the ground
that 1t would be harmful to the agri-
cultural industry. but it is yet un-
certain how effective its protest will
