NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—America’s
reparation experts, who have been
in Europe to straighten out the post
war financial muddle, returned on the
steamship Homeric recently convinc
ed that the Dawes plan already had
restored confidence in Germany.
All agreed, moreover, that the in
stallation of the plan is proceeding
with even greater success than its
framers had anticipated. The par
ty included Owen D. Young, origi
nator of the technical features of
the plan; Rufus Dawes, brother of
the vice president elect, who had
charge of the Berlin office of the
agent-general of reparations; H. M.
Robinson, of Los Angeles, who had
charge of the organization of the
reparations bank, and George P.
Auld, wh oorganized the accounting
service.
Germany has met all payments
under the Dawes plan to date, Mr.
Young said, adding that a result of
the recent $200,000,P00 loan, pay
ments for the year terminating Au
gust 31, 1925, already are in the
hands of S. Parker Gilbert, now
agent general of the reparations
commission. '

encouraging character, he continued,
that it was not expected Germany
would have to float another loan
next year. German industry, he said,
has taken kindly to the plan.
“Two things have surprised me
and everyone else who has had any
thing to do with the installation of
the plan,” Mr. Young said. “First
the ease of its installation, and, sec
ond, the simplicity of its workings
and the small force required to op
erate it.”
“The staff of the commission, not
including clerks and stenographers,
will not exceed twenty persons,” he
added.
“Mr. Gilbert and his associates
made a most profound impression in
Paris and Berlin,” Mr. Young added,
and, turning to a discussion of the
revival of industry in Germany
skid:
“There has been the greatest im
provement in the spirit of the peo
ple of Germany and a marked re
duction in unemployment. The in
crease in industrial activity is chief
ly due to a returning spirit of con
| fidence.
“The morale of the German peo
ple has improved. As to politics,
there is a drift on the part of the
i nationalists and the communists to
the central party, which is essential
ly democratic in spirit and liberal in i
its program.”
Concerning the French attitude
toward Germany, Mr. Young said he
believed that “Mr. Herriot is con
vinced that the greatest security of
France lies in the establishment of
more complete democracy within
Germany.” The French and Belgian
evacuation of the Ruhr was being
made with the finest spirit and was
doing much to heal the breach which
i had widened with the continued oc
| cupation, he added.

BUSINESS MAN
SHOULD LEARN
HOW TO BATHE
PROPER TEMPERATURE OF THE
WATER IS IMPORTANT
PART OF BATHING
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 5—It may
sound astounding but the old gag,
of “the tired business man” is what
you might call the bunk—he isn’t
tired; he just doesn’t know how to
take a bath.
Possibly not exactly in that frank
manner, but in substance that is what
Albert Edward Wiggam, author, says
about the business man who is al
ways complaining he is “tired,” and
uses the excuse to get. away from the
office for a game of golf or other
means of diversion or exercise.
The tired business man is not tired
at all, as he may possibly think; he
is sick. If he would learn how to
take a bath he would make a new
man out of himself.
Neutral baths, Wiggam declares,
are the means of the greatest physi
cal benefit if one knows the simple
essentials of how and when.
Neutral baths are taken in tepid
water. The proper temperatures are
between 92 and 96 degrees. At such
heat the body becomes like a sponge
and absorbs large quantities of water,
which washes oht the impurities and
at the same time brings great relief
to the whole body.
Wiggam claims that a man will ob
tain as much rest in neutral water in
four hours as he will in eight hours
sleep in the air. He recommends the
baths to be taken from twenty min
utes to five hours and as often as pos
sible.
Care should be taken in determin
ing the temperature of the water, be
cause of the following reasons:
Water too hot is debilitating.
Water too cold is only temporarily
stimulating.
Water of nearly the body tempera
ture is taken up by the pores and it
thoroughly cleanses the elimination
system.
Wiggam says the secret of health
is to live hygienically, using the meth
od he employs in bathing, and the old
alibi of that “tired feeling,” will be
knocked into a cocked hat.

VALENTINO’S WHISKERS
ANGER CHIGAGO BARGERS
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 5.—The Asso
ciated Master Barbers of America, in
convention here today, resolved to
condemn Rodolph Valentino, motion
picture actor, for permitting his
beard to grow. They expressed fear
lest that the hirsuite vogue would
return.
They also resolved that members
of \ the association be pledged not
to attend a showing of his photo
plays as long as he remains bewhis
kered.
The resolution stated in part:
“Whereas, * * * the male popula
tion of America is very likely to be
guided by the said Valentino to the
extent of making whiskers fashion
able again, and,
“\\ hereas, such a fashion would
not only work harmful injury to bar
bers, but would so utterly deface i
America as to make American citi
zens difficult to distinguish from Rus
sians.
“Be it resolved, that Rodolph Val
entino be condemned.”
