ANDREW AND IM0GENE.
nx RoE FERGUsON

You look all tuckered out" said An-
 drew. as he kissed Imogene and laid | aside his coat.
 T am dead and buried and this thing you see and think is is but the ghost of the woman you left in your happy home this morning. sighed Imogene Our happy, orderly home has this aft ernoon been just about as calm as the | violent ward of an Indian insane asy 1 lum."
 Tell me about it." said Andrew sym pathetically.
 Mary Middaugh came here this after noon and brought that little fiend of six-year-old ooy of hers whom she calls
 Angel with her.
 And, oh, Virginia Creeper, how l was
 scared for your exclaimed Imogene, pat ting the dachshund on the head. ] Didn't V. c. like the angel child:' asked Andrew.
 l 'She only got one bit of him." laughed Imogene, "and then I slapped her and | took her in the bedroom and locked her up; but I kissed her before l left he1
 and she seemed to understand. Angel took Virginia upstair and they got into your den, Andrew, and Angel brought that taboret with your rack or
 poker chips on it to the top of the steps IT | then tied the other end of the string to Virginia's collar and ran down the steps, whistling to her. Virginia tried to follow and the dog, the taboret, the 10000 poker chips and the child all came down in one I awful mess, and it was en route that Virginia got one bite of Angel
 Mary thought it was real cute of An | gel and said so, and thought 1t was real cute of Virginia to bite Angel and tdidnt say so.
 1 Mary said Angel was of an inventive turn of mind and this showed it.
 Mary also said that Angel was of scientific turn of mind also, and he dem onstrated it try filling screw top bot tie half full of water and setting 1t on the stove when Sarah was not lookins and giving me a bad half hour picking the glass out of the dinner when the steam generated and the bottle blew up.
 .He was also inclined to be artistic, as lSarah will testify, for it took her over
 an hour to scrub the pictures off the 1 front steps that he made with crayoh l he found some place about the house. Angel has temperament also. Andrew, for he screamed till he was black in the l face because his mother would not let l him play the piano with a hammer, and he also showed at lunch that he has good digestion because he ate nine char l lotte russe and three saucers of chow chow with them.
 "When Mary asked Angel to recite little poem he also showed that he had Inc desire for fame because he told her l to go chase herself, that he should Ibibble about recitations.
 Andrew, if that child is an angel. l am almost content that, being married woman with a husband to look after, my
 hopes of heaven are rather slim.
 "If this is the sort of jewel that moth-
 CTS are supposed to wear in their crowns.
 I am willing to go through life bare
 headed, and if it takes children like that to make a real home, am satisfied with our peaceful imitation"
 II suppose you told Mary all these l things" asked Andrew.
 "No, I didn't!'' snapped Imogene.

Daily Financial Gossip
Fly HOLLAND

that this American industry has just government to import American made machine tools for the manufacture Of cash registers in Germany.
 Lord Robert Cecil, esteemed by many to be the master mind in the British cabinet, listened with much interest to statement made by high Ameri- can authority who met Lord Robert at Geneva and who conversed with him about the attitude of the United States towards Europe and especially towards our recent allies. He put his statement in concrete form. saying substantial ly that the United States had lent nearly $14.0Oo, 100000 to England. France, Italy, Belgium, Poland and some other nations, two or three of which were neutral at the time of the European war. Of these $14,000,000,- 900 approximately s10,000, 100000 rep resented loans made by the American government to some of the allies and $4,000, 0,0Q0,000 loans and credits which came from private sources in the United States
 It has been the understanding in the United States that the allies which are debtors to the United States are counting upon the GeTmdu lnQGIunlty for assistance in liquidating these loans. But Germany does not know and cannot yet learn how great an indemnity will be exacted from her Some think it will amount to $25,000.- 000.000, certainly not less. But what ever the amount may be Germany will be unable to pay unless she is as- sisted in the development of her in- dustries. It will be through her ca. pacity to manufacture and market the products of her industries, mines and her agriculture that she will receive the needed funds with which to meet indemnity requirements, but she must be aided. She must be furnished with assistance to buy raw material, such for instance, as American copper and American cotton. She will be in bet ter position to meet indemnity re- quirements if there be a very large investment of American capital in Ger man industrial life.
 To this statement Lord Robert lis tened with apparently intense Inter- est. but upon 1t he made no commen- Now that Germany has admitted American tools to be used in Ger man industry behind which is American capital there is no doubt that speedily there will be other and probably many large investments of American capital in German industries provided these industries agree to export 50 per cent of their products. This will in time greatly facilitate our trade with Ger many.

New York, January -(Special.)-
 Report was made in this column yes- terday of the successful appeal to the
 authoritative Germany body for the ad- mission into Germany of a consign- 1nent of tools valued at $300,000 I which was held up at Hamburg until permission was either given or re- | fused for the admission of these tools l into Germany. They were American made tools. They were to be used in the equipment of a great industrial plant which American capital had es- /; tablished at or near Berlin for the manufacture on large scale of cash registers.
 | At first the request that this equipment be admitted to Germany was refused. An appeal, however, was taken to a higher body. The commit !, tee of that higher department after | listening patiently to the experts and representatives of German industries which were two large concerns, one | of whose products was German made cash registers, and also listening to the representative of the American in dustry which contemplated the invest
 ment of large capital in Germany for the manufacture of this apparatus, l decided unanimously and after short private discussion to grant the Ameri- can request and to permit these tools l to be brought into Germany to equip the American factory in Germany.
 Aside from the mere fact that the , German authorities took this attitude there is to be discovered greater | significance in the decision.
 | For it affects all those American in- dustrial corporations which are now contemplating the establishment of ] factories and branches in Germany, and also those who are considering ] the feasibility of investments of this kind. There exists no better method of preliminary investigation than to study carefully Germany's own indus trial development. The attitude of | the government is now known to be very favorable to the establishment of ! American industries in Germany if part of the purpose is to export at least 50 per cent of their product Exports of this kind will be included
 in the list of total German exports But they also will go far towards aid-
 ing the United States in establishing l industrial activities in Germany be- cause if that be done it will serve to l stimulate our international trade. Official publication was made carly in November of this attitude of the German government. This publication contained the statement that the Ma ! tional Cash Register company of Day. ton, O., is a pioneer in the investment of American capital in German indus :. | trial life.
