the world has moved far too rapidly

well to read and dwell upon these

From authoritative sources Il is
learned thai the German Ambassa-
dor, together with his retinue OF
diplomatic subordinates, is expected
to arrive in this country within the
next fortnight
when war waA declared and the
German Ambassador was recalled.
the palatial edifice on Massachusetts
avenue was taken over by the Swiss
Legation. which, during the contin-
uance OF Ithe war, entirely handled
German interests in this country.
For some time the flag OF Switzer-
land toated over the building.
Yesterday the "Whits Cross" flag
was taken down. and IL was an
nounced that all business OF the
Swiss Legation would be transacted
1T the building adjoining, and that
the entire edifice would undergo eX-
tensive alterations preparatory TO
the arrival OF the new German
Ambassador.
According to members OF the
''iRner" diplomatic circle. the prepa-
rations now going on for the ar
rival of the German diplomats is
conclusive proof of the fact that
Germany has already accepted with
out reservations the terms of the
peace treaty now on the way to
Berlin.

TIMELY BEAUTY HINTS

Society women wash their own
hair. not because 1t is a fad. but
because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using any
thing harmful. They have found
that in washing the hair it Is
never wise to use a makeshift,
but is always advisable to use
a preparation made for sham
pooling only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results
from a simple homemade can
throx mixture. You can use this
at a cost OF about cents a
shampoo by getting some eanthrox from
your druggist and dissolvins a teaspoon.
full In cup Of hot wpter. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to all
the hair instead Of just the top Of the
head, as with most preparations. Dan
drun, excess oil and dirt are dissolved
and entirely disappear in the rinsing
water. Your hair will be 50 nufy that
II will look much heavier than II Is, Its
lpster and sOftness will also delight you.

U. S. Chambers Statisti-

To Future.

Business conditions continue to
show a moderate Improvement in
nearly all sections of the country.
according to Archer Wall Douglass.
chairman Of the Committee of Sta
tistics and Standards Of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States, in his monthly review of the
business situation.
Fall and winter seasonal goods
are beginning TO move and the out
look Is for fairly good business the
remainder Of the year" he says. AS
the season advances there appears
to be a better prospect Of good
holiday and Christmas trade.
"One Of the most striking devel-
opments is the great Improvement
in the South, due to the rise In
cotton prices. The good effects of
this boom will not be confined to
the Southern States. but will be re-
Elected in other districts.
The story OF the sudden rise in
the price OF cotton is a dramatic
one. In August there seemed moth
ing ahead for another twelve
months but the practice OF grim
fortitude which carried the South
through periods Of depression and
trial.
Then came the government
September report and the South
came back. The burden of obliga-
lions will be mostly disposed of be-
fore the winter - past. Cotton Is
being sold freely. and the farmer
will dispose of most OF his holdings
by the new year.
Business already has felt the i'm
pulse Of the incoming currency and
will grow gradually better"
