At this point he was interrupted by the information that the totals had been reached. Striking the table in all sincerity Mr. Kimball cried earn- estly: “Thank vou gentlemen.” He was urged to go on, and he referred ap- propriately to those who had given bountifully and who would therefore reap boutifully.

London, March 19. —-Sir Harry Brittain, member of the British parliament, who has just returned from a tour in Germany, Austria and Czecho-slovakia, was much im- pressed by the contrast between the two former countries. “The Apistrian,” he said to an in- terviewer, *'is to be spoon-fed at every angle. The German is pulling and in many cases has pulled himself fo- gether and the great machine is geiting into full swing right across the country. “I was in villages and small towns in Eastern Prussia and Bavaria, well as in Berlin and everywhere one could not put down the feeling that this once great and powerful nation would be great and powerful again.” WOMEN IN WALL STREET SETH TANNER Z/ ) Ty, 1127 5% oo N | Th’ old-lifie young feller what used t' carry a tooth brush an’ comb in his has his hair barber had used a The pushed upper vest pocket cut t' look like th’ skull cap fer a stencil. horse tires first. TRADE RESTORATION IN AMERICA BETTER Sir Algernon Compliments Re- construction of Problem Here London, March 21.—America dealing with the problem of recon- struction and the restoration of trade more energetically and more success- fully than is the case in England, Sir Algernon Firth, former ‘president of the Association ef British Chambers of Comnerce, declares in a Times in- terview. Sir Algernon has returned recently from his 51st visit to the United States, Among tactors cited as to Ameri- can advantage in the situation, the British business man states, were a more rapid reduction of w%alues than in England and co-operation of labor in reducing the costs of production. Mill workers in the United States, he said, are accepting wage reductions ot as much as 33 1-3 per cent. in or- der to enable jnanufacturers to .turn out goods at Jrlce:: which the public would pay. He said if this movement went much further it would mean that the United States would soon be in a strong position in the matter of exporting goods and would be able to secure business that would otherwise comae to Great Britain. American hours of work were about the same as those in England, hae stated, but the men worked much harder while they were in thoe mills. Sir Algernon expressed an opinion that trade would improve in America toward April, based on the fact that bottom prices were being reached, promising restored confidence and in- creased buying. He urged open and frank dealing with Americans and co- operation between the two nations. He said he did not attach much import- ance to the question of tariffs because of tha creditor position of the United States, now is NO DEBT TO FRANCE. United States Owes Sister Republic No Money for Revolutionary War Aid. Washington, March 21.—Treasury officials dug through musty records of Revolutionary days teday and an- nounced afterwards that they had been unable to tind any record of the United States owing France any money on ac- count of loans advanced during the Revolutienary war. Their activity resulted from the pub- lication yesterday by the Paris Eclair of a statement by Jean Bernard setting up a counter claim for 90.630,000,000 francs alleged to be due Fr#nce on ac- count of aid given by France in the Revolutionary war as against the $3,- 000,000,000 owed the United States by France on world war loans. M. Bernard also claimed that Amer- ica never had paid 80,500,000 francs of the purchase price of Louisiana. Officials said references to the Louisiana purchase and payments on that deal were few in the treasury files but that none indicated ‘upaid balances. - ___________} DANDERINE Stops Hair Coming Out;.
