There are $300 English dollars in- | vested in Argentine for every in- habitant, a state seven times as great as the United States. But figures tell the story incom- pletely. An Argentine writer re- cently summed up homelier ties. The Eglish, he said, are responsi- ble for the Argentine custom of shaving daily. They taught Argen- tina'to drink tea every afternoon. Sports Also British Argenting’s national sport, soccer football, which draws 60,000 to a single game, was introduced by the English. The English built tthe first golf courses, the first tennis| courts and the first polo field. It"is Dr. Rocoa's task to con- vince England, that Aréentins. val-| ues the relationship which came to it so effortléssly, and is pre- pared to make any fair concession | to maintain it.

In “Road of the. Dragon,” one of the dramatic situations shows Manchurian bandits in a Chinese nn, Swashbuckling Captain There is Dix, a swashbuckling, romantic, adventurous captain of a river boat; there is Zasu Pitts, a gabby, eccentric small-town a nervous whimsical hotel clerk; Miss Andre, a Russian beauty of against capture by the thungs; Arthur Stone, an old Jewish shap- keeper; Arline Judge, a pert little remnant of a stranded theatrical troop; Dudley. Digges, the irascible owner of river boats and Willlam Orlamond, a kindly old German physician. Food, water and ammunition are limited. Some of them must die to allow the others an opportunity to escape. Vividly Dramatic Crisis How they fight out this prob- lem, trapped in the hotel with ma- chine gun bullets singing around them and murderous bandits lurk- ing at every corner outside, and how every person re-acts to the emergency, make a vividly dra- matic crisis. In “Spanky” which is a burlesque on “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” mon- grel pups are made into ferocious bloodhounds. The youngsters of “Our Gang” transform a variety of dogs from poodles to police tles. They tied the water bottles over the dogs' heads so they give cludes many who have come to be rcgarded almost as fixtures around | the capitol because of their long service, Veteran secretaries to members of Congress and clerks of commiitees, many of whom have there, must depart. There's Representative Wood's | sccretary for example—Miss Jessie | T. Lovell. She came to “the hil]"; | with one Congressman and has| feat in Indiana after a period of ! service extending over 18 years forces Miss Lovell to look for an- other job. Jim Cook, a recognized authority on international relations, tariff and taxation, for 20 years has been secretary to the Represenlative of the Second Rhode Island district. His, boss’ defeat in November also places Cook among the unemploy- WOMEN LoSZ OUT Miss Loia Williams, secretary to man ever to hold such a post with | a Vice-President is another cas- ualty. “But he'll still be the boss,” she says of the Vice-President.

Miss Davis has besn pub- licly commended for her work on the House Immigration Commit- tee where she has served as clerk for the past three years. Mrs. Edna Stengér has been with Burton French of Idaho for the |last 16 years. French’s Congres- ciohal assignments extended into many fields and Mrs. Stenger has become an expert in each. She is as familiar with Federal ap- \propriations for the navy and In- | dian reservation probléms as she is hywith her district in Idaho. And there are several others who face similar situations. NEW JOBS FOR SOME A few of these veteran behind- the-scene workers' may be able to land berths with the men who replace- thel: old employers. This often happens A" new Senator) or Congressman arrives in Wash- ington not knowing much about: | the way things are done some- times gets his secretaries from tHe, ranks of these veterans. The chances this time, however, slim. Il be Democrats reé- placing Republicans next March rather than Republicans taking the places of Republicans. And as 2 rule these jobs are promised back home some months before election time — sometimes more than once. e Nearly all golf clubs béing made in Britain are steel-shafted. ! e Pert has suspended = mortgage l!oreclosure_s for one year.
