Buenos Aires was without port. Ships anchored miles from the shallow, sandy shores and all freight was handled in lighters. Within the last twenty-five years the municipality has constructed the largest artificial docks in the world. These provide adequate facin- ties for the. thousands of ocean vessels and coasting craft that put into its port annually.
 "The narrow checker board of streets in the business center which the colonial Buenos Aires bequeatheo to the world-city of today has been constant embarrassment in the face
 of the demands of modern business The municipality has widened some
 of these narrow ways at a cost or many millions of dollars, into stately and handsome avenues, and is carving other arteries of traffic diagonaIy | through the closely packed squares. 'In the newer parts of the city streets of ample width and numerous
 broad avenues have been laid out Many of the avenues are lined with | the costly palaces of Argentina's multi millionaires. It is in this part of the | city and in such semi-business ave- nues as the tree-rimmed Avenida dt | Mayo with it's mile or more of fine hotels, clubs, cafes, and business build | ings de luxe, that Buenos Aires re

Suggests a Public Debate!

MT. Editor: Will you allow a sugges- tion from one, as yet harey qualified, as he admits, to assume an active part h Norwich affairs? Occasionally, we had novelties in Washington, and, as the Congressional Record will show, hot ail and verbal explosions. But, during my fifty years residence at the, national cap ital, do not remember te have seen S newspaper theological discussion between two women. It has not been my pleas ure to have met either of the tive re. doubtable lady disputants who now ar< adding so much to the interest of youI columnsl nor indeed did happen to heal of them in WashilIgton1 assuming that their controversy may, have beea going on during .er possibly throughout, my time there. Nv curiosity is aroused. IT daily strolls, or hill climbing, especially I the latter, more than once, betweer pauses for second wind, and more par
 ticulaly when ascending that. gent1, slope upon which stands the public school have I wondered whether som4 lady whs might rapidly overtake me, and as brisk

 respondents. My speculation has bee, rife. Are these ladies young, Of of tn, more elderly kind?--H indeed you. shay, any such in Norwich. In fact, for som time I have been looking for some lad, having the physique, facial stamp of az gressiveness,' and ministerial cast o
 countenance which would warrant m, l hope that at last had encountered on
 of these gifted antagonists. Even tn
 large circulation of The Bulletin seem
 to me inadequate to the occasion. Le

Even thermometers became old, and consequently inaccurate with age. mer- curial instruments reading too high and splrite instruments too low. In the former case the bulb appears tc shrink, thus forcing the quicksilver toe far up the stem. This gradual shrink. age Is supposed to be due to the fact that the external pressure on the bull

 On the other hand, the spirit ther- ! mometer is sealed with the bulb cover ed In a freezing mixture, in order tc lock up in the. glass as much air as possible. The instrument thus starti

REPUBLICAN
SENATORS TURN
ON NEWBERRY
Michigan Senator May Be I'm.
seated Unless He Defends
Himself.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-An unex-
pected development which for the first
time during the long fight over his cam
paign expenditures definitely places in
jeopardy the senatorial seat of Truman
Newberry has occurred in Republican
Senate ranks
Six Republican Senators whose votes
Newberry hackers have claimed have
served notice of Senator Curtis, Repub-
lican whip, that they will vote to unseat
the Michigan Senator, unless he arises in
the Senate and makes a defense of the
money spent in his campaign against
Henry Ford.
Should Newberry fail to speak in his
own behalf, as he has consistently de-
clined to do ever since he was indicted,
the addition of the six Republicans to the
anti-Newberry ranks would make his
unseating probable when the vote is
taken next month.
From reliable sources the names of
five of the six were learned. They are
Capper, Kansas; McNary, Oregon; Jones'
Washington; Kellogg, Minnesota, and
Willis, Ohio. 1t was believed by Senators
in close touch with the situation that
Senator Cummins, Iowa, was the sixth
member Of this group.
Republicans already said to be against
Newberry are Borah, Kenyon, Ladd,
Johnson, lie Toilette, Norbeck and Norris

Wheat-Outside of the fact that May
wheat sold at a new high price for this
turn, there was no special feature today.
Realizing sales checked an advancing
tendency. 1t was reported that the
Oklahoma State report on wheat gave
condition of AZ, as against SO last year,
The primary receipts are still continuing
to show moderation. Casu wheat shows
a hardening tendency. There was some
export wheat INJURY at Omaha. The for
eign and New York markets all being
closed, nothing was expected in the way
of export business. There should be
decrease in the visible supply next
Tuesday. There were zero temperatures
in part Of Kansas this morning.
Corn and Oats-Buying for the Russian
relief tOtaled in the neighborhood Of one
million bushels which will come out Of
Eastern stocks in all probability but
that they will have to come West for
corn is a foregone conclusion, and the
situation should develop in both corn and
oats in such way as to give us a slowly
hardening market with ultimately higher
values. Had some strength Of their own
as well as rejecting the advance in corn.
Provisions-The hog market was strong
to Is cents higher which kept that mar
ket firm, especially so as the cash trade
for product is fairly good.

Stock Market ReUteu

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-The rally in
prices, which started around noon yes
terday, ran right through today's ses-
sion on the New York stock exchange.
Coppers and rubbers led the advance and
the net result was a recovery of prob
ably 80 per cent of the losses in these
groups sustained in the reaction which
started on Wednesday and ran to Fri
day. Specialties were also strong with
new high record for Texas Gulf Sui
phur. American Ice got within a point
of its record high price of this year.
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
led the rails with sales above 121. This
represents a new high for the stock since
the split up, two for one. 1t seems to be
fairly well agreed that Delaware will
shortly offer some new stock which will
mean rights for shareholders. Most of
the guesses IS to the value of these rights
range from So to 81 a share.

GERMANY FACES
SAD CHRISTMAS
WITHOUT FUNDS
Bankrupt Condition of Nation
Makes Prospect Very
Gloomy.

BERLIN, Dec 24.-All Germany is
facing a "black Christmas" and the de-
preston among the people is very deep.
Not since war days has the Christmas
season been shrouded in such gloom
Germany is virtually bankrupt and
cannot meet her indemnity payments due
in January and February. She has lost
the rich mining and industrial zone OF
Upper Silesia. Her only other economic
reservotr-the Ruhr-is threatened by
France in reprisal for nonpayment OF
indemnity.
Hopes of foreign loan or foreign
credits In England nave been shattered.
The return of Walter Rathenau from
London empty-handed has convinced the
Germans that they may not expect an
indemnity moratorium soon.
1t begins to appear certain that the
allies will put Germany into a receiver
ship and appoint a joint commission to
control all German fiances.
Even Premier Lloyd George. who had
come to be regarded as Germany's friend,
proved to be only paper Santa Claus
Food is more plentiful, but not yet
back to prewar normal. Money has
deprecated to suchs an extent that, no
matter how hig a mans salary is, 1t
usually costs him all he makes to live.
. There Is a scarcity of fuel, also a
housing shortage. In Berlin alone 17G,-
600 families are suffering from the hous-
ing shortage
There is an atmosphere Of nervous ex-
pectancy, although an attempted upris-
ing by communists appears less likely
now than earlier in the year.
