soviet government has not vet been
proclaimed in any way that can 3e re

Women and Athletics.

Life generally in the country. strange
as 1t may seem, is lived less In the open
than in many northern cities. Women
have not yet entered to any great extent
the outdoor arena of athletics. The pub

swimming contests in which women OF
foreign nationalues engage at the new
foreign country clubs seem somewhat
shocking to the national feminine sense.
There are fewer social problems than
with us in the United States; II they
have them. the people do not seem to
know 1t. Life flows along comparative
ly easily: the climate prohibits over
strenuousness. and there are no SAINT

European ways are the ways of the Ar

a stranger. while the European Is an

"simpatia" between them that does not

An illustration will suffice. The Ad-

Chile is now engaged in municipal

South American countries, has been
rather backward. The development OF
her water power her mineral and agri-

available capital for such purposes.
Chile. like Peru, Is rich In natural re-

is plenty of wood pulp in these forests
for the establishment of paper mills.

to state that trade follows the loan.

IL Is difficult to ind an investor who

There are many reasons to believe
they do not. The principal one Is that
the American Is not as closely in touch
with the foreign market as is his Euro
pean competitor. He has never taken
the foreign market as seriously as the
European. principally because he has
never had to do 30 in order to make his
profits what they should be.

the United States the ways of business
and the workings of commercial psy-
