Forty-Fifth Day.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, March
11.-Why this country of Argentina
should be called The Argentine" by
us North Americans, / don't know.
The word Argentine" doesn't mean
anything. but the word Argentina
pronounced "Ar-hen-tee- softly
means "silvery." 1t was so called by the
Spaniard who discovered the country
and was struck by the silvery sheen
that pervaded the landscape. He also
named the river. which we common
ly call THE River Plate" for the
same reason. The Rio de La Plata
means The River of Silver"
/ have often wondered why different
nationalities presumed to improve on
the native and correct name of place
Rome, for instance. Why should we
English speaking peoples call it that?
The Germans write it Rom" The
Poles and Slaves say Rim" Why not
write it and pronounce it the correct
way, Roma, as the Italians do.
But back to the pampas.
Here we go sliding across the great
green and brown plain to Buenos
Aires. 1t is the straightest railroad in
the world. There is one stretch of IT'S
miles without the slightest deviation.
was told in Mendoza last night,
where I changed trains. that the ride
across the Pampas would be dirty and
dreary.
BY the way, a strange little city,
Mendoza. Although it is shut off from
the Pacific by the towering Andes and
$50 miles of pampas lie between it and
the Atlantic. it was founded and flour
ishing so years before the first settle
ment in the United States. 1t was
raining there last evening, a rare and
unusual thing, and it has frightened
up this dusty land of the broad hori-
zon that l am crossing.
The pampaS is the cow country
of South America. 1t is fiat as a bill
lard table, but far from being as
green. 1t is practically devoid of
natural trees or bushes of any size,
and is very wide, wild and windy.
Now and then a high-wheeled cart
can be seen, and lolling about the
stations are a few 'gauchos" or cow
boys. The ''gauchO" rates about the
same as our own Arizona cowboy
and is about as romantic.
Around him are written all the
songs, stories and romances of these
southern plains. But, like our own
brand of Bill Harts, he is fading out
before the devastating hand of civili-
Zation. with its law and order and
glamour destroying machines. How
ever. l suppose the spaces are just as
wide open here as they are in Texas,
and the men are men-although they
don't look it.
The gaucho is struggling gamely
against the inevitable, however, and
still retains his ferocious aspect and
his picturesque dress, without the aid
of the movies. He wears a sombrero,
poncho on his shoulders, short boots
on his feet, and the rest of him is en-
veloped in balloon-like Turkish trous-

ers that defy all description as to
their latitude and longitude. Instead
of a gun he carries a "machete"-a
short sword or cutlass that he uses
for all purposes from picking his teeth
to whiting a foe. The poor colonists
from central Europe cut a poor figure
beside him in their dusty rags, but
what they lack in style they make up
in numbers. for Argentina is 40 per
cent Italian.
AS we approach the big city the
land grows more green and fertile
and the great cattle ranches are
superseded by farms and gardens
Soon we pass through Junin, the busy
little town that Firpo, the Wild Bull,
came from. Then comes Chacabuco,
and before we can catch our breath
after a glimpse of the big race track
in Palermo, the finest in the world,
the train has pulled into the station,
which Is called Retro.
At last! We are in la Ciudad Y
Puerto de Santa Maria de Los Buenos
Aires''-more familiarly known as

med with straw. But sometimes the
order is reversed, and a fine straw
shape will have applications of felt. or
sometimes of velvet. The sketch
shows a straw shape of one of me
new red shades with matching trim
ming cut from felt.
So far nothing has come to cha1-
lenge the position of the felt hat. Now
word comes from London that tweed
hat has gained instant approval
among certain smartly dressed women
there as an accessory to the tweed
sport suit. These hats are described
as being "cut like mems wide-visored
caps-with a narrow fold of the ma
terial at the back reminiscent of
Jackie Coogan's cap in Kid"
Whether you like it or not, there
Is no gainsaying the fact that the
viola shades are fashions favorites
for the season. To be sure, certain
fuchsia shades have been produced
so commonly that we all grew weary
of the hats of this shade. But by
slightly different shades of
the viola tones the smart milliners
have persuaded their customers not
to abandon this range.

My Neighbor Says:

A pad of very thick paper laid
over the edge of each step un-
der the carpet will prevent it
from wearing and it will last
twice as long.
Dusty and faded straw hats
may be greatly improved by
rubbing them well with a piece
of velvet the same color as the
straw. This freshens them up
wonderfully.
When a house is being done
over paint not infrequently Is
spilled on doorsteps and it is
sometimes very difficult to re-
move it. Make a strong Solu
ton of potash and wash the
steps, simply leaving the solu-
ton to soak in. In short time
the paint will become soft and
can then be washed off with
soap and water. Then use cold
water. Paint which has been
left on for some time will yield
to this treatment.
A teaspoon of vinegar added
to homemade sirup will keep it
from candying after it stands.
When placing dishes on the
ice place a rubber ring from a
fruit jar under the dish. The
ring will adhere to both ice and
dish.
Fruit juices may be canned or
bottled when left over, without
sugar, and used later as needed
by combining with gelatin, or in
lemonade.
To fresh and toast a stale tea
cake, put it whole into a steam
er and steam for 20 minutes; it
will then be thoroughly warm.
Split in two, toast and butter
well.

A Good Mixer.

Successful living knows no isola-
tion A cloistered success does not go
to the head nor does it thrill the heart.
Life must be conducted in the open
against odds If it is to be alive or at
all worth while. There must be brisk
friction and a taste of competition.
Success must be won or it is not sue
cess. Then we can understand the
thought that lies at the root of the
mothers wish that her son would be
a good mixer.
"He doesn't seem to care much
about other people and doesn't get
close to them. I'm afraid he won't
make many friends and l do want
him to be a good mixer" Had she
not said so, though, you would never
have guessed it, for she threw a dead
line about that boy that made isola-
ton a matter of course. If a boy
talked back at him she lowered nerV-
ously in the background and with
drew her son hurriedly at the first
opportunity. And did lad give him
a punch all intercourse between that
bad boy and his relatives was over
finally.
Just as soon as a teacher so much
as limited that her boy might improve
in any single direction she appeared
at the school to defend the boy with
all the VigOr of her active mind. A
CO. on his report card meant an in
QUESTION for the teacher and a bad

''Of course, if my son is bad / want
him punished and if he makes mis-
take he ought to be corrected. OF
course. But he is such a good boy
and does his lessons 80 carefully /
can't see why you should feel called
upon to give him a low mark. Now,
the Downey boy that lives near US
what mark did he get? I'm sure it
was a high one becase his mother
seemed SO pleased about his card, and
my boy is far superior to him in every
way; and so on and so on to the
dreary end.
Then too. the teachers must be care
fully selected for the boy. I'm
dreading the term when he reaches
Miss Battles class. Everybody says
she is such a tartar. / hope you will
allow him to skip her class. The boy
would never get on with her. Never
in the world
Yet he is TO be a good mixer? He
is to know people and like them and
be able to work and play and muddle
along beside them cheeriiy? Then
toss him into the crowd. Let him
have a few grandparents and aunts
and uncles and in-Iaws and a handful
of girls and a gang of fellows and an
onery pup and the grocer's boy and
the ashman and the minister's son
running round and round him, and
he will learn lot more about mixing
than if you keep him apart and make
everybody shun him as the plague.
When he gets into a jam do not
hurry TO his rescue and tell him to
come away from there and to say this
and do that. Keep out and let him
get out the way he got in. Don't try
to trim everybody down to velvet
paws when you know all about the
claws they are wearing and the need
of them. If you want the boy to be
a mixer let him have the benefit of

FIRPO ARRESTED,
 MAKES BIG HOWL
Thought He Was Being PerSe-
 Cuted by Chase

Paris, Jan. 24.-Luis Angel Firpo ran afoul Of the French police today and spent an hour in the police sta- ton because his new car bore no license lumber in the rear.
 Firpo objected a policeman's jumping on his running board, fall ed to understand a request to show his Identification papers, and roarcd menacingly ins anish while the policeman, was conducting him 10 the police statian.
 Later. through an interpreter, Fir DO explained that he was under the impression that he was being put under arrest at the request of Canon Chase of New York whom the fight CT thought was still keeping up the pursuit of him that began in Amer ica when an effort was made to have him deported. The fighter became pacified when the chancellor of the Argentine legation informed him of the nature of the charge-the ab- sence of the license plate from his car.
 The official in charge at the police station, when the circumstances were explained to him, decided 10 make no charge against Firpo upon the latter's promise to have a H. cense plate attached immediately. although his language to the arrest ing officer was alleged to constitute wha4 under the French law is class ed as outrage to authority" Firpo. therefore, after being detained m hour, wao let so without penalty.

WORLD COURT IS
 AGAIN ENDORSED
Coolidge ReaSSerts His Stand on
 Tribunal

Washington, Jan. 24.-The ad- ministration's stand in favor of American participation in the world court was reafiirmed today by Presi- dent Coolidge in an address deliver ed at the White House to delegates attending the national conference on the causes and cure of war.
 This step, the president character ized as the next move that should be taken by the, United States to- ward outlawing war.
 He suggested also that the nation and the world should turn the light of more information and better un- derstanding upon the problems of diplomacy"
 Meantime, the president declared, the United States should in the in tcrest of peace continue it's readiness to associate itself with whatever measures would tend to maintain security. but should avoid the danger of "a r-government.'
 If the lesson of this last and greatest war shall be lost, then, in- deed will this experience have been almost in vain," said Mir. Coolidge. Tt is for the generation which saw and survived to devise measures of prevention. If we fail in this, we shall deserve all the disaster which will surely be visited upon Us be- cause of our failure. Every or ganized movement to keep alive the realization of wars destructiVeness serves a helpful purpose
 The responsibility 10 end war was described by the president as a na- tional responsibility.
 "That question must be answered by us as Americans for ourselves, |" he continued. There may be temp tational times to inquire whether others have played their part, But our responsibility is for ourselves alone, for doing the part that falls to us because of our place in the world"
 "I believe that, just as the arma- ment conference was a timely and convincing cooperation on the poll tical side, so the Dawes plan was a similarly timely and effective ettort for rehabilitation on the economic side.
 "I believe that the next step which we may well take is by way of participation in the permanent court of international justice. believe that with our adherence 10 that tribunal, for which l earnestly hope, it will become one medium 'n which may gradually be precipitated and chrystalized, body of internd- ional law and procedure which, ny avoiding the dangers that would at tend the establishment of super government, will ultimately con- mend the respect and appreciation of the worlds public opinion and the cooperation of the nations.
 II am c-lvinced that i our civ ilization is worthy of it's name, then physical force is not the only auth ority which may enforce an anti war policy l feel strongly that pub lie opinion, based on proper intor- nation, working through agences that the common man may sec and understand may b, made the ulti- mate authority among the nations

able to leave the field was a Mar tin bomber from Quantico, Va, from which a reporter was to radio a story.
 The first arnS nviators returning to Mitchell field reported failure in their attempts to make observations of the movement of the eclipse shadow. known as the Jumping rabbit" They had hoped to obtain valuable data as to whether the shadow moves irregularly, in wave like motions. along the path, of shadow, as some scientists believe.
 Instead of any visible trailing across the earth. the shadow grew gradually, forestalling observations to support scientific conjecture.
 After landing Ut the field, Major Hensley removed from his plane the radio sending set with which he had intended to broadeast an account of the eclipse. The generator of the sending set was found to be burned out. It was sent to the laboratory to determine if the eclipse caused the mishap, which occurred at the ex- act time of total eclipse.
