Perrenoud, associated with M. Clemen-
ceau for a number of years as his prt-
vate secretary, gives us a new view OF
the real man within THE Tiger" His
feminine ideal was found in the char
acter of his mother. She was kind and
unaSsuming, and possessed store of
good common sense. A sophisticated,
pleasure Loving woman he had no re-
spect for. OF his mother he said,
Never. in her life did she possess more
than two dresses, but that was no
handicap to her in rearing q large
family of children. The infants were
cared for all the better because she re-
quired 30 little time for her own en-
bellishment"
M. Clemenceau abhorred bobbed hair
on the heads Of women, and also had
an antipathy to them wearing rings and
jewelry. He considered this G tom
barbaric and . survival Of the epoch
when all women we're slaves. NJ. Glenn
enceau firmly believed that to elevate
woman was to elevate the race, but he
considered modern woman, in many
respects, inferior to the women OF
bygone day.
Portuguese Navigator

La Nacio1, Buenos Aires Manoel
Diego Garcia was the first European
to reach the shores Of what is now the
Argentine Republic. In January, 1912,
this Portuguese navigator, seeking the
westward passage, steered his caravel,
the Grace de Alma, into the Rio de la
Plata. After sailing up this broad
estuary for some hundred miles, he
turned back and Skirted the Southern
Coast for another month, when the adj
vent of hot and sultry weather, to which
these Portuguese mariners were little
accustomed, and against which they
had little means Of protecting them
selves, led them to return to Lisbon.
where they reported their discovery, and
urged immediate exploitation of so rich
and fertile a country.
Both Portugal and Spain were en-
crossed with commerce to the Orient,
and had no ships to spare for the de-
velopment of q land still more remote
apd affording none Of the manufactured
articles they so eagerly desired. In
1913 Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered
the Pacific, and both Spain and Portu-
gal began o strife for supremacy in the
golden lands Of South America, which
was to endure three flaming centuries.
Spain especially desired stil shorter
route to the East Indies, and Fernandez
Juan de Soils sailed from Cadiz in 1915
to see whether he could find water
route through the Isthmus of Panama.
Driven on his course he, too entered
the RIO de la Plata and explored the
Uruguay, but his expedition had q
