little American colony get along fairly
well together and although the for
mer may adopt supercilious attitude
toward us they buy our products as
often as they find them cheaper and
better than imports from Britain.
The British are 80 numerous as to
have divided into four groups which
high-hat each other. There's the
Nottingham set, with Its Oxford ac-
cent. which causes other Britons to
say that one has to learn the language
to live in that suburb, and the SUBJ
urban groups at Lomas and Belgrano
The fourth group contains the town
English" within the city. who aren't
regarded as socially important.
The Irish have fraternized with
the Argentines more than any other
nationalities. They came early and
some became rich through ranching
or marriage. There are native FAM
lilies with Irish surnames who can't
speak word Of English. Lacy and
Kenney, the polo players. are Argen-
tines. and there's prominent Ar
gentine family named Cavanaugh,
for instance.
The American colony Is on the in
crease. but sticks pretty we'll to-
gether now because of its minority.
The American club Is a social center
and there's an American Legion post.
British residents accuse the Ameri-
cans of trying to high-hat the Argen-
NJ Av~%n
British OF the same. In any event,
it doesn't work. The Argentines. they
high-hat everybody.
This is the largest Spanish-speak-
ing city in the world. and an Ameri-
can doing business here simply has
to know the language. English gets
by fairly well in some Latin-Ameri-
can countries, but not here. Even
Argentines who speak fluent English
insist on using Spanish In conversa-
ton with British or Americans. Any
foreigner is much more at home with
a command of 1talian-or French or
German, for that matter-than with
English.
Some American firms are still silly
enough to send down wads Of adver-
Using literature, printed entirely IN
English. Others use poor translators,
sometimes achieving weird effects in
booklets or even on the goods offered
for sale. One large American cereal
company had to revise its package
offered here nearly every month for
a considerable period before it
achieved a correct Argentine version
OF what it sought to say.

The rain fell steadily, drearily, until
Crystal was in q panic lest the big
footprints she had so carefully
planted" should be washed away.
There was still much to do before she
could allow herself the solace Of q
hot breakfast. It was not yet broad
daylight when the girl who had kid.
mapped" herself nailed the board back
In place across the window by which
she had entered the shack the night
before. A stone served as a hammer.
an appended log as q means Of reach
ing 1t. She could not run the risk
later Of being asked why she had not
lied from the locked shack by way OF
the window.
The question Of how she could lock
herself into the shack worried her
sickeningly, until she found ON a nail
above the frame of the low kitchen
door q rusty key. which providently
fitted both the front and the back
door. Peter Holiday, the owner of
the shack-if Lon Edwards and his
Grace" had not been mistaken-had
Q similar key in his possession, UNI
dOubtedly, since Crystal had found
the back door locked and the front
door bolted. Her plan was simple.
Hours before she could hope to be
traced either through the ransom
letter" she had mailed to her cousin,
Bob Hathaway, or through Lon Ed
wards story Of hearing girl scream
when he had come to Peter Holidays
shack the night before, she would un-
bolt the door. lock herself in, and
hide the key. When her rescuers
came, they would have to break the
door down or pry the board from the
window, as she had done.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1929-01-28

It was amazing how quickly the
fire ate up the small logs. Horribly
afraid Of being seen, Crystal. still clad
in the yellow slicker, rain hat and
man sized boots. made two more trips
to the wood pile, bringing such a
heavy load each time that she stag
gered grotesquely.
When at last her outside work was
done. Crystal set about making fire.
At seven o'clock the almost ex-
hausted but curiously elated girl sat
down to breakfast of coffee diluted
with evaporated milk, cornmeal mush
and jelly. Not q bad breakfast,
though Crystal would cheerfully have
paid dollar for half a pound Of
butter. She could foresee that the
lima beans. which she had soaked in
water over night. and which were now
bubbling In a big pot in the CRATE,
were going to taste woefully flat
without butter or bacon grease sea-
soning. And there was scarcely
enough cornmeal left to make a skill
let-sized Johnny cake. She must
ration herself carefully. both as to
food and firewood, If she did not
want to face the prospect of passing
q cold and hungry Wednesday, for
the girl had no intention of again
risking detection by leaving the shack.
BY this time Bob had received her
ransom letter" II he disobeyed its
commands and placed 1t in the hands
Of the police, the whole country
side would soon be full of searchers.
Shivering with excitement, Crystal
locked herself in.

pected source.

Washington. Jan. 28.-Buenos Aires
Is as European as any city In the
old world and no more Americanized,
from our point of view, than are the
South Sea Islands.
This third largest city in the west
crn hemisphere is willing to accept
North American innovations making
for more comfort, convenience or
efficiency. but that's all. The people
have the American brand Of progress
iveness, but they hang on proudly to
their European habits and culture.
Americans assured your correspond
cnt that BuenoS Aires was becoming
"Americanized." but your correspond
ent couldn't see 1t. It Is true that
Argentine business men are adopting
our methods OF efficiency and that
American types of architecture are
being copied for big new office build
ings, but that only proves that Argen-
tine business men are smart.
Everyone drives an American auto
mobile, but this is one South Ameri-
can city where traffic keeps to the
left instead of to the right as in the
United States. And instead of trying
to change the local custom, our auto
mobile firms manufacture cars with
right hand drives to meet 1t.
Psychologically and sentimentally
Buenos Aires looks across to Madrid.
Rome. Paris and even London. rather
than to New York and Washington.
Some two million Italians are said to
have emigrated into this country and
lesser armies from other European
nations. Your correspondents excur-
sions convinced him that, with all its
large foreign colonies. Buenos Aires
Is far more Of melting pot" than
New York
AS colOnists. we Yanks are far
down on the list numerically. There
are no more than 1000 Americans
mere as compared to between $4,000
and $4,000 British or Anglo-Argen-
tines. The British population thus
supports two daily newspapers printed
n English which are altogether
British newspapers, whereas the
Americans have only a little weekly
