AT FIRST TURNED DOWN
CHANGED COLOR OF HAIR
 ON EACH VISIT TO SELL < LOOT TO PAWN BROKERS

Baltimore, January 23-Mrs. Helen Wilder tinted her hair different color each time she visited pawn shops to dispose of stolen articles valued at thousands of dollars, ac- cording to information secured by the police today. Mrs. Wilder and her husband, Carl L. Wildedr, and William Braid of London are held here charged with many robberies.
 Wilder has confessed inmplicating his wife. and her makeup outfit has been found. In the kit was a Jar or reddish brown power.
 In their visits to the pawnshops the police were given different des- criptions of the woman who pawned the jewelry. On one trip she was de scribed as black haired. At another shop she was described as having light brown hair. and another. de- scribed as red headed.

commercial paper is reported from country banks and borrowings from the federal reserve banks are decreas- ing. A great deal of credit is still frozen in silks, rubber, furs, and other staple commodities, and expectation of easier money is strengthened by the belief that the firmness of those mar lSets will hasten liquidation. Talk of foreign loans Is again heard. It is au-. thoritatively stated that arrangements for a $30,000,000 advance to Belgium have been completed. Chile is seeking a, loan here, and only political uncer- tainty in France is said to be postpon ing an offering of French government bonds in this market,
 CLEARINGS DROP
 Bank clearings for the week as re- ported to Bradstreets are 15.7 per cent below last year, but the price decline in the same period, according to Dun's in- deX number of January l, was 20 per cent and according to Bradstreets, 40 per cent Failures were 439, against 521 the previous week, and 104 in 1920. financial agency supplies the inter- esting information that last year S4 per cent of the failures were of firms which did not advertise.
 Reports from abroad show that even the prosperous little neutral countries of Europe are treading the path of re- adjustment along which the United States is so far advanced. Denmark is the latest to report decreased industrial activity and overstocked warehouses, The unemployment problem is the gravest with which Great Britain is contending; it Is estimated that the Lancashire cotton mills are operating at not more than 10 per cent of normal. The Bank of England's position is still improving The reserve ratio rose 1 per cent last week to 3 1-3, but is still 5 per cent below last year. The deficit of 2.000, 100000 francs in the French budget for 1921 is alarmlngly large; a bill for destructive tax on foreign banks in the country has been intro duced into the Chamber of Deputies, where it is receiving some support from a class who believe that these banks are in some mysterious way responsi- ble for the fall in exchange. Appar- ently they belong to what Senator Gore calls the congressional school of eco- monies, whose programme includes the repeal of the laws of gravitation and of the axioms of mathematics and he establishment of perpetual motion.
 The doctrines of this school. however are not likely to have much effect either here or abroad. Despite such handicaps many of the most important in> dustries of the country have completed the downward path and begun to climb, and others are sure to follow them. How far they will go it is difficult to predict; if we trust the analogy of re- construction after the Civil war we must expect several fluctuating years, but the tendency of the barometer, pointing to the immediate future, is undeniably upward.

New York, Januafy 23.-(Specia'. Three hundred thousand dollars in Amer imam money made tools remained for some weeks early in the fall in the har- bor of Hamburg. These tools were sent from the United States for the pur- Eose of equippng a factory near Berlin in which American capital had been in vested. It was the purpose of this American investment there to carry on upon large scale the manufacture of an article which commands worldwide markets But there was apprehension lest the German authorizes would not rermit these tools to oe drought into Germany. This fear was based upcn sta ements made by German nanufac;ur-. CTS that if this equipment were permitted to enter Germany it would in no small measure interfere with the manufacture Ey two large German companies of ] commodity similar to that which Amer can capital purposed manufactur,ng in lin.
 This incident is of all the more of inn portance because it IS associated with tie first effort since the war to invest on a large scale American capital ir industry in Germany. For if Germany refused to permit this equipment to en- ter Germany then o.he- American rlanu- lecturers who propose establishing in- drstrial plants in GerEiany would be dctcrred from an ente-rr,:ss of that kind.
 This American industry is the National Cash Register company, one of the larg- csc in the United States whose great plant is at Dayton, }. Before the Eu- rapean war began this industry had al- ready established large plant near Berlin wherein were manufactured this apparatus. some of the product going ia+o the German domestic market and some being exported. Of course the out break of the war greatly curtailed the activities of this factory.
 Within the past two years, however, and in spite of the fact that the United States remained technically at war with Germany, the American capital repre- sented by this industry returned to Ber- lin. A manufacturing plant was pur- chased for about s40000, although before 1914 it would have commanded at least $50 GOO.
 To operate this plant requires a large equipment and especially the appropriate kind of tools. These tools were made in the United States at the Cash Register plant at Dayton The tools were ex- ported but were held up at Hamburg to await the permission of the German gov- ernment to bring the tools to Berlin. AT FIRST TURNED DOWN The American representative of this industry asked permission from the for eign commerce department of Germany to bring these tools into Germany for i the purpose of equipping the factory of which the title was in the American company through it's German subsidiary. The foreign commercial department of | Germany gave some attenticn 70 this re- quest. But for reasons which seemed good, it refused to grant permission to ] import these tools. The reason upon
 which refusal was based are presumed te
