Woman Tells Of Recovery From
Effects Of Shock She
Received

LONDON, Dec. o (By Mail).-A new
ray Of hope for the bald and prema-
turely gray IS shed by an American
practical psychologist and educator OF
human life, Miss Maud Hallam, who
has been delivering a series Of lee
lures, says "The Daily Express" Miss
Hallam's black hair became two-thirds
white IN consequence Of a shock some
years ago, and she declares that, un-
aided by any chemical process, but
simply assisted by a special line Of
thought, It gradually resumed It's nat
ural color.
II defy any one to discover n white
hair In my head" said Miss Hallami
who Is In the thirties, TO a reporter,
"and, what IS more, | do not intend 20
have any gray hairs In twenty years
time"
Eight years ago Miss Hnllam lost her
mother, her lover, her sight, and her
health, and became a hopeless wreck
within n year Ono day she heard
preacher declare that when we could
gain such a working knowledge Of the
laws OF human life that we could oper-
ate them intelligently, we should
quickly be able 20 procure perfect
health, happiness and prosperity"
This greatly impressed Miss Hallam.
She obtained all the information on the
workings OF the mind that she could,
and In two weeks was improving.
Within three months she was on the
platform with her sight restored and
a desire 10 devote her life 20 suffering
humanity.

BERLIN. Dec. 24.-Tho week before
Christmas was marked by a general
standstlll Of affairs 80 far as The Cor
man domestic situation was concerned.
Business was very bad owing 20 the
high prices, which far exceed the
communlty's purchasing capacity, and
mercantile trade suffered heavy losses
as a consequence. The weeks quiet,
however. was disturbed by reports
from Washington concerning Americas
Intervention in the European financial
situation and her alleged readiness 70
promote an international loan 10 Ger
many.
These reports produced a temporary
meteoric rise in the mark 10 a point
where fewer than 5000 were the equiv
alent Of a dollar. a furry which caused
the gain and loss Of untold millions.
While the prospect Of Americas early
mediation of the thorny reparations
out eause-it Is felt that the ultra
optimistic reports are premature. and
as such are not conducive Of the pro-
motion Of real American assistance and
settlement Of the problem.

but no definite decision was reached

sumption Of negotiations, the smaller

large industrialists, headed by SHINES,
however, persist in their refusal TO

Even then this latter group main
tains that they are In no position to

LONDON, Dee. 24-The holiday at
mosphere pervaded the markets dur
Ing the week. and little business viii
be done until after the new year.
Bankers and merchants arc keenly In
terested in the developments Of tho
conference which opens In Paris on
January 2, when tho Premisrs Of Great
Britain. France. Italy and Belgium will
tackle once more the complicated prob
lens Of German rephrations and inter-
Allied debts.
During the last week these topics
have been constantly 10 the fore, due
20 the reports from New York and
Washington regarding intervention in
some form or another. Even now only
a few on this side know Just how much
basis Of fact there Is IN the rumors,
and consequently Il Is not surprising
that the reports have been magnihed
out Of all proportion.
For several days the foreign ex-
changes have Jumped about wildly, 20
close for the holidays fairly steady.
The City did not swallow the American
story Of q Sl.500,000,000 loan 70 Ger
many, but II was accepted BY the gen
eral public, and speculation In the ex-
changes became dizzy for a time. The
most amazing result was the rapid
ascent Of the German mark, and, Incl
dentally, the Germans had n lively de-
flation crisis. Despite denials and
contradiction, the feeling remains that
there Is some solid foundation for the
somewhat sensational reports coming
from America.
One Of the most satisfactory features
is that Americas attitude toward Euro
pean questions comedies fairly closely
with the British Harvey's departure
Saturday for America heightens the in.
tereBt in Washington's next move, and
as Stanley Baldwin, Chancellor Of the
Exehequer, will soon confer with tho
government officials on the question Of
debt funding there Ia every reaEon 70
anticipate some profoundly important
developments early next year.
The immediate future Is mono too
bright, because there is no guaranty
that France will not press her plan for
occupation OF the Ruhr. In the nrgu-
ments supporting the occupation there
is frequently the charge that those who
oppose tho scheme do 90 because Of
friendship for Germany. The truth Is
quite the contrary. British business
interests who are against the occupa-
tion have not n whit more love FOR
Germany than have the French. Their
opposition Is based on hard business
grounds and nothing else. Fortunately
the charge Of pro- Germanism carries
