COOLIDGE FAvORS
i. s. EXPERTS ON
PREPARATIONS PROBE

Washington, Dec. 11.-President
Coolidge formally opened the way to-
day to cooperation by American
economic experts in the double in
Qulry proposed by the reparation
commission into Germany's financial
situation. A formal White House
statement said the Washington gov
eminent would view with favor the
acceptance by American experts" of
an invitation to sit upon the inquiry
committees.
The plan already has been ap-
proved by all the allied governments
and by Germany factor considered
Of major Importance, inasmuch as a
complete agreement among the al
lies as to the method of employing
American aid in the reparation stu
alton has long been regarded by
Washington Officials as essential If
such assistance was to be extended.
The unanimity attained by the
powers on the question after many
months of discussion and many fail
ures. in the opinion of President
Coolidge. is an important and Signi-
ficant development.
In making the inquiry effective
the next step will be the extension
OF formal invitations by the repara-
tion committee direct to whomever
may be selected by the commission
to represent TIL American viewnn:-
on the committees. Although 1t was
not disclosed officially whether the
Washington government would take
any part in that selection. it was
assumed that ofIiciols here would
take any part in that selection, it
was assumed that officials here would
be made aware of any choice before
the ""''--l forwarding of an invita-
ton.
1t is the view of officials here that
one American expert will sit at both
committees and be supported by
whatevei staff of technical advisors
may be deemed necessary Such an
expert would undoubtedly be an out
standing American citizen and in
dications in some authoritative Cir

Dawes, of Chicago. former director
OF the budget, as one at least under
consideration.
Mr.. Dawes had conference with
President Coolidge shortly before the
PREPARATION announcement was made.
He is regarded by many as we'll
equipped for such 4 task by reason
or his career as banker and his
f1rst-hand knowledge of European
conditions. 1nasmuch as one of the
committees is to be charged with
budget and currency problems. his

Darkening Eyelashes.

The trouble with most eyelashes is
not that they are too short or too
thin, but that the color does not ex-
tend far enough down the individual
hairs.

slighted by, nature in this matter
take up a hand mirror and examine
your eyelashes closely. You'll find
that each hair grows quite q fair
fraction of an inch beyond the point
where the color stops. So what you
need is, temporarily, an artificial
color, and for permanent beauty a
stimulant to increase the amount of
real color. =

be washed off and all the stain can

One thing is certain about all OF

But which of three given names they

Anderson and Andrews, of course,
are quite definitely indicated. They are
simply developments of Andrews

they are but anglicized versions OF
