A Never Failing Way
to Danish Ugly Hairs
lAids to RaantvA

No woman is immune to superhuous
growths. and because these are likely
to appear at any time. it is advisable
te always have some delatone powder
handy to use when the occasion arises.
A paste Is made with some of the
powder and water and spread upon
the hairy surface; in about 2 minutes
this is carefully removed and the skin
washed. You will then find that your
skin is entirely free from hair or fuzz.
Be sure. however. to get real delatone.

Certain obvious reservations re-
cuire to be stated. 1t will be said,
in the first place, that the comparl-
son is unfair, because, as everybody
knows, there had been much more
speculation Of a rash and magma
tive character in industrial than IN
railroad stocks, and that last weeks
connection on the Stock Exchange
mainly represented an overturn OF
a top-heavy speculative account IN
the industrial list. That is true, but
the implication is rather apologize
than conclusive. Speculation runs
to industrial stocks because their
profts are so volatile. They rise
fast and fall fast. But If railroad
Profits cannot rise as fast as indus
trial profits, neither can they fall IN
so precipitate a manner. That is
what everybody remembers when
misgivings possess the mind and IN
dustrial stocks begin to slump.

Machine Tools in Japan

Japan has taken up the manufacture
OF machine tools seriously only within
the last ten years or so, and, according
20 ALFRED Herbert's Monthly Review, "
little progress was made until about
four years ago, when the government
decided that IL was time 70 encourage
domestic manufactures, with the object
Of checking the flow Of specie abroad
and OF rendering the markets less de-
pendent on foreign supplies. The war
has had 4 great effect on the develop
ment OF the industry, and n. an Ell
ample of what has been done large
works, containing roughly 1000 engine
lathes, 800 cspstsn lathe. and 100
drilling machines, were recently COM
pletcd within three months Of the first
orders being given out, over 80 per cent
Of the machines being made in Japan.
In regard 20 methods Of manufacture,
jigs and fixtures are not used to any
great extent, and as most of the works
will accept any order that comes their
way within their capacity there Is lit
tie opportunity for specialization.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Germany's move for peace brought a
sharp upturn in the foreign exchange
market last week. Fluctuations in the
rates of foreign money were the broad
est in many months. The greatest i'm
proyement occurred In the Teutonic
exchanges.
German marks, which touched a low
record value OF 65N cents for four on
Monday. before the news Of Germany s
peace proposals came out, rose steadily,
touching 70 cents on Friday, an advance
Of 9h cents. They closed at II, still
5h points above the low record Aus
trian kroncn, after declining early in
the week 10 a low record Of 1895 cents,
moved up to 1870 cents and closed at
1855 cents.
Russian rubles, whose normal In
trinsic value is sig cents, were selling
at 1920 before the peace discussions
began. Immediately sfterward they
rose briskly and touched 3l.4O cents,
falling back later to close the week at
1890. Buying Of German and Russian
exchange came largely from specula-
tive quarters.
Conditions in the sterling exchange
market were not greatly affected by the
peace news. Rates for bills on London
continued TO be maintained arbitrarily
and fluctuations were confined to the
smallest fractions. The rate for sight
drafts on London touched s4.75% In the
middle of the week, an advance Of Il
but closed practically unchanged at
S475h. French exchange improved
slightly on tho week. Money Of some
of the neutral countries moved up quite
sharply, particularly Swiss francs
which were quoted as high as 4.ss to
the dollar, compared with a rate OF
$50 month ago. Swiss closed at SOB
The Argentine peso, normally worth
96.48 cents. went to Sl.02.

Il will be said, in the second place
that industrial stocks, especially
those in which the great declines
took place, had been gaining much
more than the railroads in the war
trade. That also is true, but IN a
relative sense. The railroads have
participated in the profits Of the war
trade. as their earnings prove, and
they would suffer shrinkage IN
earnings if the aggregate OF trade
should decline by reason OF terhi-
nation Of the war. But, again, there
is the compensation. As railroad
earnings have been less inflated by
the war trade, so they would be less
debated by the stoppage OF IT, IL
will be said. in the third place, that

stocks as loan collateral, so that II

on them than on railroad stocks. 80

der Profit Sharing Plan,
Below the Market"

Employees OF the United States Steel
Corporation will be privileged during
the month of January 20 subscribe for
$4,000 shares Of stock at a price some
what below the market. This IS pur-
suant to a profit sharing plan invented
in 1903 by George W. Perkins. The
following statement was issued yes
terday by Ebert II. Gary. chairman:
The United States Steel Corporation WILL
In accordance with the plan in force dur
ing the last thirteen years. offer 20 en-
ployes the opportunity TO subscribe. dur
ing the month of January, for $4,000
shares Of stock at a price somewhat below
the market, and also will distribute tie
usual special compensation. The total
amount OF the latter has not yet been def
nitely determined. but it will be calculated
on the basis heretofore fixed. part Will
be paid in cash and the balance in pre-
ferred stock in the same proportions and
on the same terms as last year. IL IL
hoped distributions will be made 20 the

Of the men In offices, particularly those not
receiving special compensation above re-
ferred 70. will receive increases in salaries
to take effect January !.
As rough estimate. II may be stated
that the three wage increases made Febru-
airy l.. May l and December 10. respec-
lively. the increases in salaries from time
10 time. and the special compensation will
aggregate for the year about $4,000 600.
The statement does not tell whether
the $4,000 shares Of stock will consist OF
common or preferred or both. These
details will be disclosed later. When
the stock subscription plan was started
only preferred stock was offered 20 the
employees. Several years later, when
the common had become better sea-
soned, IL was offered. Last January
common stock alone was offered and
the subscription price was SIS share.
Nearly 10000 employees subscribed and
the total of their subscriptions was
1912 shares. This years offering APP
PEARS TO be limited to $4,000 shares.
Steel common closed on the Stock Ex-
change yesterday at HAS.
Only once in thirteen years has the
Offering of stock to employees been
omitted. That was in 1915, and it was
owing, as Mr.. Gary said, TO unsettled
conditions" The common stock was
then unable to pay dividends. In 1914
common stock was offered at s57 and
preferred at sos per share, and 46,49s
employees subscribed. The aggregate
OF their subscriptions was $4,000 shares
Of common and 1850 shares of the
preferred.

Trading with China
Services of the Middleman
Who Knows Native Lam
guage and Customs Are
Usually Required

An American commercial traveller
who for three years has represented in
China an important watch manufact-
uring company and its subsidiaries has
been acting under instructions to deal
as far as possible direct with Chinese
retail merchants. but is pessimistic re-
garding the prospects Of such direct
trade.
This salesman. according 10 John r.
Arnold, in charge Of the United States
commercial attaches Office at Picking,
had an experience o, some years in
commercial life in the Philippines,
prior to going to China, and seems 20
be in a position to speak with some
authority on the subject.
He emphasizes as obstacles several
facts-the desire of Chinese merchants
to select from stock rather than TO buy
from catalogue or sample. the readi-
ness OF customers 20 refuse shipments
on trivial excuses If the market has
turned against them in the interval and
the difficulty in enforcing payment
against Chinese customers. He admits
that the tendency is toward such d.
rect dealings, but does not believe they
are TO be encouraged in the immediate
future
Mr.. Arnold states that:
In weighing the value - this criticism
some account must b. taken both % the
nossibility that this particular agent did
not meet Chinese conditions effectively, and

Current

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms OF the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for S4.751s; the intrinsic par.
ity is s4.S6Ss per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at pre-
MUM, which is owing to the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
with which to settle accounts in this
country is greater than the demand in
this country for pounds with which to
settle accounts in England.
