EODGE CITY. Kas., April o.
I'D 4 lonely, nameless sculptor
IL wanders up and down the
banks of mid-western rivers carving
in wet sand figures of a mother and
her babe.
A melancholy task is his. But it
brings him the only comfort his
great grief will permit him to en-
joy.
The figure of the woman repre-
sents his wife; the babe. his child.
They died in the Pueblo floods two
years ago.
Recently the stranger appeared
here. Few paid heed TO him until
they saw him molding his figures
in the sand.
Gradually crowds gathered and
watched. But hour after hour went
by without the stranger apparently

NEW PENSION LAW
IN ARGENTINA IS
REGARDED Joke
No Funds Available to Pay All
Who Have Worked for
20 Years,

BIZ United Press
BUENOS AIRES. April 2.-Nobody
laid down mis- tools to take advantage
Of the new law abolishing work for
every one who has toiled twenty five
years. The new pensions law became
officially effective Tuesday, but all
indications were that 1t didn't Op-
crate.
Every one in the Argentine who
had worked a quarter century or
more was entitled to quit and draw
pension from the government for the
rest Of his life.
No Funds Available
AS no provision for raising in ad-
vance the huge fund required had
been made however, no one took Il
chance.
Central headquarters for the elabor-
ate machinery that will be required to
give effect to the pensions law were
opened in a business block in Buenos
Aires.
Four Per Cent of Wages
Any one who had not worked
twenty-five years IS supposed to pay
per cent Of his salary to the pen
sions fund. No greater rush to COM
ply with this portion of the law was
observed than was the case with those
who might have dropped shovel or
pick and started on a life of rest.
Opponents Of the measure still hope
to cause it to fail.

tale he told:
II went to Pueblo, Col, with my
wife and baby, for my health, just
a few months before the floods of

seemed, when the flood came.
