students of Denver's south side high
school to put a crimp in the prosperity
of Denver beauty shops.

woman dean fthe University of Den

poffs. Miss Shuler declared that a
beautiful new rug that adorned the
floor in front of large mirror in the
women's study at the university was
becoming horribly ragged" because
so many girl students fingered in front
of the mirror to use their powder puffs.
Also, she said, men students breezing
through the corridors can see the I'M
dignified performance.
At meeting of the Mothers Con-
gress and Parent-Teacher association a
report was read from the boys of
South Denver High School denouncing
the follies of girl students who doll
themselves up" in drugstore complex
ions, and issuing a warning that
youthful school girls who appear in
class room attired like chorus beau

BOYS TRAVELS 1875 MILES
ON SKIS TO ENTER NAVY.

Denver. - Lured by the fascination
of life in the United States navy and
the opportunity to try their skill at
athletics in the Olympian games at
Antwerp in July, two San Juan valley
boys defiled the snow barriers that
have made the narrow guage line to
Montrose impossible and Travelled 1876
miles on skis in order to reach a rail-
road.
The redoubtable candidates for the
navy were l. Bennett and Thomas
Long of Norwood, Col. Tramping over
the snow covered tracks of the rail-
road, they made the difficult journey TO
Montrose in five days. There they took
a train to Pueblo, where the navy re-
oruiting officer found them 100 per
cent. perfect on physical examina-
ton and sent them to Denver
They were transferred to Hampton
Roads, Va, where they will undergo a
course of instruction of sixty-four
weeks preparatory to assignment on

HIGH COST OF PRINCELY
LIFE CAUSES WORRY

New York. - The high cost of be-
ing a princess and of maintaining a
home for a prince whose name, for all
evidence to the contrary, may be long
er than his purse, was the cause of pc
tition to the Surrogate's court to have
increased from $1,000 to $4,000 the
annual income of Princess Frances
Alice Willing Lawrence. who, recently
married Prince Andre Poinatowski.
The princess is the daughter of Mrs.
Susan and the late F. C. Lawrence.
Referee Tompkins, in recommending
the increased allowance, said:
"You know that in Europe things
are different than they are here, A
bride is supposed to hay dot / think
It will be only fair to allow the prin-
cess an increase OF her allowance in
order that she may establish home
and maintain servants In order to live
up to her station"

Wall Street heard yesterday that
the sensational rise in the market
value of Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey stock, which has sold this week
above $500 a share. setting a new
high record, is based upon plans by
the management for the declaration
of a 400 per cent common stock
dividend. 1t also is learned by the
rumor route that 100000 900 of
common STOCK might be offered to
the public for subscription at par
At the offices of the company these
reports were were categoricaIly de-
MED. Interests in close touch with
Standard Oil affairs insist that some
important development with regard
to readjustment of capitalization
to accord more closely with the
company's swollen assets is close at
hand. and will likely take the form
of splitting up of the present stock
into smaller units.
Application has already been
made to list the stock on the ex-
change.

Bankers were uncertain regarding
the probable developments in con-
nection with the maturity of the
$4,000, 900 of Republic of Argentina
per cent bonds about 80 days
hence. The exact amount of gold
withdrawn for shipment by today's

U. s. gold coin to Buenos Ayres
since January 1 to about $56,000. 900.
The minimum discount rate for
choice mercantile paper is per

None of the leading international

News that willys-Overland direc-
tors are considering increasing the
capitalization of the company to
provide increased facilities which
will result in large savings, and at
the same time permit of a greatly
increased capacity to meet the de-
mand for its product, Is not a sur
prise to Wall Street.
Prior to this country's entry into

duction on one or two models, Will

power. paying % per cent during
was declared
war service. willys-Overland reduc-
ed dividends to a per cent basis
and offered its services unreservedly
to the government. Since then the
company has met and overcome
many serious though emporary OBJ
stacles.
Its new models wore just started
when it's capacity was again handi-
capped by a prolonged strike, pro-
voked by demands of a radical labor
element. The stand taken by Will
lys-Overland during this strike,
while of the greatest Importance to
the industry, resulted in a curtaiI-
ment of production, but this year,
with over $4,000 men working at
Toledo and the established policy of
concentrating on only two models,
WHY'S Overland again is showing
evidence of its great normal earning
power.
1t would not be illogical to expect
new dividend rate on Willys-Ov-
erland when present years earnings
make themselves felt.

(Pubiic Ledger Service. Special

Paris, March II. - Foreign capi-
'talists are to be encouraged to fn-
vest in the industries of France.
This is yet another means France
is adopting to restore her economic
prosperity. But hitherto foreign
capital has not been welcomed by
the French and every possible OBJ
stacle has been placed in the way
to restrict the exploitation of the
country's resources by foreigners.
Chiefs of the foreign banks in
Paris with whom your correspond
ent has talked on this matter re-
gard ii as a happy move OF the
French ministry Of finance. They
point out, as NJ. Paoulmin ofeLloyds
pointed out to me, today, that the
invasion of foreign capital will not
only help to rebuild factories de-
stroyed during the war but also will
provide employment for French
people in addition to reducing the
cost of living.
Several Pittsburg manufacturers
of agricultural machinery of the
latest type are now negotiating
with the French ministry Oh aBrl-
culture to build factory in France
for the production of their machin-
cry. This has opened the eyes of
the French government to the value
of foreign capital in France. For
agricultural machinery, not having
to bear the cost of transportation
will be cheaper to the farmers with
beneficent results for French agri-
culture. Remington's. too. are go
ing to manufacture in France and
we may expect that the English will
follow suit.
1t has to be remembered that
France is not a land of big trusts as
in no other country of Europe is
wealth or Industrial resources so
evenly distributed among the pop
uiace- AS a political factor in these
days of strikes and revolutions, as
instanced in the recent railroad
strike, this is considerable. II
means that every man has an inter-
est in the tranquility of the country
for upon that his personal posses
sions depend. But naturally il has
meant the discouragement of for
eign capital.
