GERMAN FINANCES

LONDON, Dec. 20 - A Times Berne special says the important part of the German bankers would prefer to see Germany bankruptthan struggling hopelessly. The 1920 budget will show a 40,00O,000 mark deficit and American financiers "of- fer terms which Germany is too proud to accept" The neutral coun- tries are conferring at Rome to raise a loan to Germany to help the ex- change, but the proposal will not be submitted to America until af- ter the ratification of the treaty.

WHY eocsETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift, but is always ad-
visable to use preparation made
for shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at cost
of about cents a shampoo by get
ting some canthrox from your drug
gist and dissolving a teaspoonful in
a cup of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to
all the hair instead of just the top
of the head, as with most prepara-
tions. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
in the rinsing water. Your hair will
be so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. Its luster and soft
ness will also delight you.-Adv.

Mrs. Florence Duryea Is Modelling
Professional and Business Women
To Advance Their Interests

Mobolizing business and profess
sional women to advance the inter-
ests of women of today is the OBJ
ject of Mrs. Florence Spencer Dur
yea, who stopped in Omaha yester-
day en- route for an extended visit
of the west coast, to acquaint local
business and professional women
with the National Federation of
Business Women's clubs, which was
started recently in New York.
Mrs. Duryea is general organizer
for National Federation of Busi-
ness clubs. She is keen business
woman and is we'll versed on advan-
tages and disadvantages for women
in the business world. Because of
her fitness for the work. Mrs. Dur
yea was recently appointed by the
national committee of this fedora
ton to make a tour of the United
States and make known to women
the object of the movement, after
which organizers would be sent out
from the national headquarters to
establish declarations.
Women's Response Cited.
There is no longer any question
of the acceptance of women in COM
merce,' said Mrs. Duryea. There
are already 100000 women en-
gagged in gainful occupations in this
country and they have responded
wonderfully to the business emer-
gencies created by the war"
The establishment of such an or
ganization would not only standard
ize woman's work, but would also
prove beneficial to employer as we'll
as employe. The women belonging
to such a federation could better
their own living and working con-
ditions and would be of immeasur-
able assistance to women just enter
ing business.

FIND FAULT WITH AFRICAN CAMPAIGN Capetown Thinks Watching and Elephant Hunting Prolonged Period of
 HOstilities
By Assaclatsd Press

London, February 2e.--According to in- formation received here from Capetown, demand has sprung up there for searching investigation into the manner in which the British campaign was con- ducted in east and Central Africa after General Shuts had relinquished command to come to England. When he left it was believed that the campaign had been vir- tually concluded.
 owen Letcher, formerly an officer in -~the East African expeditionary force, re- views the campaign in series of articles in the Cape Times and strongly advocates commission of inquiry. Belief prevails in Capetown, it is said, that the sport of yachting at Dar-es-Salaam and elephant hunting in the interior were largely re- sponsible for the prolongation of the fighting.
 The campaign is said to have exceeded the cost of the Boer war, amounting to about $1, ,500, ,000,0O0. To the casualties. which were heavy in killed and wounded, must be added many men who will suf- fer from fever for the rest of their lives.
 The work of the Portuguese colonial forces is criticised, also the huge head quarters staffs maintained by the Brit ish hundreds of miles from the scenes Of the actual fighting.
 
 writes: Tn common justice to our forces. it must be set on record that not only die the Portuguese colonial army put up poor defense against the marauding Germans, but that their presence was very sub- stantial advantage to Won Lettow Ger man commander), fnasmuch as they fre- quently embarrassed our movements and surrendered to the enemy guns, rifles. machine guns and supplies of which the Germans were badly in need.
 'The engagement at Nhamacurra, about 30 miles from Quelimane, which was fought in the beginning of July, 1918, was particularly disastrous event for us, since after the Portuguese had lost two guns, with lot of other equipment, and the native troops despite the efforts of their officers had broken in disorder, the enemy attacked Maj. Gore Browne's King African Rigles and, largely through the employment of the two captured guns, inflicted a severe defeat to us."

IRELAND'S HOUSING
 PROBLEM SERIOUS
Broad Policy Has Not Been Worked Out as Is the Case in
 England
By Associated Prsss

By Associated Fr0ss Dublin March 3.-Disappointment Is expressed in Belfast as well as in Dub lin over the policy adopted by the gov ernment to solve the problem of pro viding homes for the people. In Eng land the housing schemes are said to be we'll advanced. In Ireland, though the need Is believed here to be greater than in England, nothing has been done and the plan proposed by the govern ment is criticized as unsatisfactory ana not likely to produce the results de- sired.
 In England the local authorities are authorized to impose penny tax to meet the loss on building schemes and the state will provide funds necessary to cover the loss not made good by the tax.
 In Ireland there is to be no penny tax. The local authorities will have to borrow from the banks the money necessary for building the houses. The Irish local government. board, body appointed by the castle and not regard ed as responsible to Irish opinion, will determine what is a fair rent for the houses and the treasury will pay part of the differences between the rent paid by the tenant and the amount necessary to meet the cost of living .. It is considered likely that the To- cal authorities in Ireland will find 1t difficult to borrow this money from the banks, as these local authorities wilDbe largely Sim Fein bodies, which probably will treat the local govern ment board as an English authority to be challenged and obstructed. Con- sequently, the prospects of success for the Irish housing plan are not regarded as hopeful
 good deal of the unrest in Dublin is attributed to the condition of the Dublin slums. Twenty-one thousand families. about one-third of the popula- ton, live in one-room tenements. The government inspector has reported that about fs.oOp.ooo is needed for hous- ing.
 It is not believed possible that Dublin could borrow fS,000,000 under the. scheme proposed. Belfast is a compara- tively new city and has not the same slum problem. Bdt it has an .increas- ing population and a great shortage of houses. It wants nearly f1.000,000 for the schemes it immediately con templates. and eventually will require f5, ,000, ,000< It has not the same hostility to the local government board that Dublin has. but it is about equally dis appointed with the proposals of the government.
