Queer Ways of
Complimenting Beauty

Buenos Aires, Jan. 5.-The ever
recurring question whether womsn of
Anglo-Saxon blood sojourning in Ar
gentina should take offense at the
remarks freely addressed to them in
the streets by Argentine men has
flared up again, this time in a lively
controversy of letter writers to the
Buenos Aires Herald.
Dear Little Bean!" and "Oh, my
pretty potato" are some of the ex-
clamations to which objection is TAX
when addressed to women by strang-
ers in the streets.
The Spanish words for "bean" and
potato" are used in Argentina much
the same as are "peach" and "chick-
en-" in America, and the attractive
young woman who ventures into the
streets of Buenos Aires unescorted
seldom fails to hear herself addressed
in these terms by passing men.
The majority of the Herald's cor
respondents, many of whom are wo-
men,, protest against this custom, de-
claring that it shows lack of respect
for women, and that, furthermore,
the remarks are not always as inocu-
Gus as the ones quoted. Others,
however, maintain that the men do
not intend to be disrespectful, but
merely complimentary. Argentine
women accept such remarks as COM
pliments, they point out, although ig-
noring the men who make them.
Indeed, the story is told that the
daughters of an Argentine family,
noted for their beauty, complained
on returning from visit to New
York that American men were all
rude-not one had remarked on their
good looks on the streets.

Old Cable Ship Ends Work

Newcastle On-Tyne, Eng, Jan. g.
The old cable ship Faraday ended her
career of AZ years of cable laying and
repairing on the same day on which
the new cable ship, John w. Mackay,
was launched here. The Faraday
was the first cable ship to success
fully link the old world with the new.
She has laid $4,000 miles of subma-
rine cable in all parts of the world,
including nine lines across the At
lantic. Her record achievement was
fishing up an Atlantic cable which
had broken at depth of 1900 feet.

Famine In Armenia

Constantinople, Jan. 6.-Famine in
certain parts Of Soviet Armenia is de-
scribed as quite as terrible in the Vol
ga region. Although political condi-
tions are NOR table, the general stu
alton is considered highly alarming.
Aid is being sought by an economic
mission headed by A. Garinian, Ar
menian Commissar of Justice.
In some of the eight districts of
Soviet Armenia, Garinian says, crops
have been fairly good but in others
the drought and the Turk have strip
ped the country and the people are
starving.
..The total number of refugees de-
pending upon government is upward
of 200, 0,000," Garinian said. 1--WE have
besides $4,000 orphans, most of whom
are looked after by the American Re-
lief Committee. In addition to this
enormous figure, thousands Of starv-
ing peasants in the districts affected
by the drought are hopelessly strug-
Cling for food. The government is
utterly impotentto check the evil:
Thousands of Armenians will perish
this winter, unless help is extended to
them from abroad.
"The Soviet government of Armenia
would welcome foreign capitalists to
exploit the country's natural riches
They are confident that their capital
would prove an excellent investment" "

Experiments Prove Successful

Paris, Jan. 6-Experiments with
internal combustion motors as trac-
tion power for branch railroad lines
in France have been so successful that
they are to be continued on larger
scale.
Ordinary automobile motors of 40
to 60 horsepower hauled rural trains
at AN average speed of 16 miles an
hour. With higher power motors bet
ter adapted to traction by rail it is
thought sufficient speed for all needs
Of local and branch lines will be at

Direct Cable Between Italy
And South America

Buenos Aires, Jan. 6.-Juan Ca
rosio, an Italian engineer residing in
Buenos Aires and chief promoter of
the project for direct cable between
Italy and South America, has re-
turned from Italy where he obtained
the support Of the Italian govern
ment and announces that the work
will soon commence. He expects the
cable to be finished in two years.
The Italian government will allow
a subvention of 100000 annually.
The cable will touch Spain, Brazil,
Uruguay, Argentina and the Canary

governments control over it is limited
to the extent of preventing It's falling

Charges Denied
BY Ambassador

London, Jan. 6.-The charge that
American or British members of the
Spanish Foreign Legion were march
ed into battle with their hands tied
behind them has been denied by the
Spanish ambassador here, Senior Don
Merry del VAL The ambassador said
that was field punishment resorted to
when confinement to barracks was not
practicable but he denied that any of
the men actually came under fire in
that condition.
Other charges of bad faith and
treatment made by the Americans and
British soldiers who quit the foreign
legion in October and November also
were answered by the ambassador. In
explanation of the charge that the en-
listment bonus of 200 pesetas was not
paid to them he said the Spanish GUS
tom was to withhold part of this
bonus as guarantee against deser-
tion and that deduction was also
made, according to custom, from the
mans daily pay to meet the cost of
their uniforms and messing.
Thirteen Americans and about 55
British members of the Spanish For
einn Legion quit that service in Oc-
tober and November and on arriving
in aris and London complained of
hardships and cruel treatment. The
Americans said that none of the
promises made in recruiting in the
United States were carried out, that
they received only one pescta day
instead of four as promised and that
the food cooked in olive oil made them
i'll. They also criticized the sanitary
conditions in the Moroccan service
and described the hospital arrange
ments as deplorable.

come Of Finding Of Still and Moon
shine at NORM House on Monroe
Street
RENT NORM Of this city was found
guilty Of illegal possession Tuesday.
by Judge Cony At the municipal
court and wal given . sentence Of
two months in jail and 800 fine. APP
pealing and furnishing bonds in the
sum Of $500 for his appearance at
the January term Of the superior
court. He was represented by Attor-
ney Burleigh Martin.
It was at Morin's house on Monroe
street that the sheriffs found. Satur-
day. an elaborate still in operation
and q quantity Of moonshine. as well
as three jugs and about 50 pint and
half pint bottlea These articles and
the LIQUOR were all produced in court
as evidence.
Deputy Sheriff Marshall Pomer-
leau testified for the State. He said
| that after having received several
complaints. he went to the NORM
house accompanied by Sheriff Har-
wood and deputy. They found the
still and the other articles in the
NORM house. but NORM was not
about at the time. NORM has lived
| there for several years.
! On cross examination, he testified
that NORM is a carpenter by trade
and works steadily at his trade. He
said that he had had several COM
plants about NORM. Regarding the
liquor which was being made. he
tasted OF that which was coming
from the still and thought that it
would show quite little alcohol.
Deputy Sheriff Winfield Barton
also testified to finding the still. He
said that they found the bottles in
the shed and that they were new
pint and half pint whiskey bottles.
There were between eight and l.
jugs there, but they did not bring all
of them, feeling that the three pro-
duced would be sufficient evidence.
He said that there was apparently
no effort made toward concealing the
apparatus.
Mr.. Morin's son was the first to
testify for the defense. He said that
he was in the auto repair business
and that the bottles were his. having
been bought for the purpose OF stor-
ing distilled water. He further tes-
tilted that his father had never sold
any liquor, but that it was his habit
to distill some every little while for
his own use. His father worked at
Newlands every day and was not at
home during the day but he was
often about the premises.
Remi NORM, the respondent, then
testified briefly. He corroborated the
testimony of his son and also said
that he has lived in this city for 50
years and that this was the first time
that he had ever been in trouble.
Four cases of intoxication were
also disposed of at the forenoon ses-
sion of the court.
The Brock-Kelley cases which was
continued last Saturday until Tues
day, was again continued. upon re-
quest of counsel.
