AMERICAN BANKERS
TO AID REPUBLICS.
South American States to
Obtain $667, 100000
Credit This Year. ~
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK April 17.-Max winkler
New York banker, estimates that Ameri-
can bankers this year will lend $66T,-
100000 in Latin America. -Four coun-
tries needing financial assistance imme-
diately are Brazil Bolivia, Colombia and
Peru, and there are others which viii
require money shortly.
Brazil's total foreign loans this year
according to DR.. Winkler, should aggre-
gate $150000, 600.
Bolivia'ss need of money at the mo-
ment comes from the marked decline in
her price of tin. Kruger & Toll, the
Swedish match concern, are working to
obtain the match monopoly in Bolivia
in lieu of a large loan. But the New
York banker believes that a loan OF
SOS. 100000 may be negotiated in this
country
Colombia needs approximately SAL
600 600, while Uruguay needs $1,000, 600.
Then there is Chile, now carrying on
extensive internal Improvements and
requiring So, ZOO, 600 to finish them.
But it is Argentina that needs money
most. Internal improvements, railroads
and highway building and electrical eX-
pansion there call for some S454,000, 900.
1T is, perhaps, of interest to state,
SAYS Dr. Winkler, that the American
credit will cost Argentina sig per cent,
as compared with 6ai per cent for the
British loan. This discrepancy enables
us to understand the reason for our
success in wrestling the business from
the British
The surface of Latin America, in a
business way, has not been scratched.
Will Congress, already harassed by a
thousand special interests, listen to the
golfer
Stacey Bender, secretary of the Met
ropolitan Golf Association Of New York,
warns golfers that Congress is about to
increase the tariff on imported bent
grass seed from cents to 40 cents a
pound He cries outrage" and then
proceeds to explain why:
American seed growers may benet1t
probably $4,000 annually in their gross
sales by this big new tariff schedule,
but American golf clubs will be forced
to pay S350,000 a year for the privilege
of buying this kind of grass should
such a duty be enacted.
Each club takes about $50 pounds OF
this seed a year, and if we figure on an
average for the 1900 clubs in existence,
we realize the proposed increase VIII
add $262,000 a year to the cost OF
maintenance. Add to that another 500
600 for newly organized clubs, or those
which need remodeling or reconstruct
ing, and you see what it costs us for
this innocent bill. Let every club mem
Der get busy"
American grass growers, mostly IN
Rhode Island and on the Pacific Coast
supply only Is per cent of the total seed
used each year. Canada, Germany and
New Zealand send us the balance.
The rate proposed by the House OF
Representatives was 10 cents pound,
but the conferees have adopted the
Senate's 40 cents a pound schedule.
If a great mass of fighting golfers
spells anything, that schedule is due for
drop.

POLITICS

Efnclent men in private jobs are in a
pleasant fix; they are not badgered by
the mobs whose trade is politics. We
see them ply the saw or pen. we see
them building hay, and they're pro-
NOTED now and then, and honored every
day. They're always viewed as shining
lights, they tread a pathway straight
they're pointed out to other wights as
men TO emulate. So pleasantly they go
their ways, till bent beneath their years.
and always ringing words of praise are
sounding in their ears. But in the
realm of politics efficiency falls fiat;
men prosper there by wiles and tricks.
or lose, and that is that A mans
elected to a job, he is an honest gent.
and he'll go straight, he will not rob
the voters of a cent. He'll labor hard
and strive to earn whatever coin he
draws; he'll mark the rules, he will not
spurn the statutes and the laws. He'll
try to serve the Commonwealth, the
county or the town, until he undermines
his health or haply breaks it down. A
man like that in private life would gain
our high regard, and we'd invite him
and his wife to sit in our front yard, to
bask beneath our banyan tree while
golden hours slide by, and drink with
us a cup of tea, and eat slice of pie
But he's engaged as county clerk, or
captain of polio, and we denounce him
and his work. our structures do not
cease. We say that he is hand in glove
with grafters there and here. and hint
that he would gladly shove the coin
that's known as queer. 1t doesn't mat
ter If the man be virtuous and strong,
well always do the best we can to show
where he is wrong. WALT MASON.

savings and the closest economies. She
is not in position to speculate with
such funds, because replacement would
be difficult and lengthy In time.
Her investments, therefore, should be
tTif1e more conservative than her hus-
binds, and while she may invest in the
same industries, she should buy only In
the established leaders.
Her inclination may well be for pref
erence stocks of assured income rather
than common stocks of more promising
future than attractive present. Her
husband can afford to wait for his
profits and even assume legitimate risks.
In other words, in diversifying the
family's investments it is wise not only
to diversity by industry, company and
region of activity, it IS also a good pol
icy to diversity as regards the nature of
the stock.
A woman can rarely afford to sacri-
flce safety for prospective profit Even

By DONALD A. CRAIG.

February %, 1S67.-This day, the an
niversary of the birth of George Wash
lngton, has always been observed in this
city, which he founded and which was
named In his honor, but the suspension
OF business is not so general today. as
on other holidays. The national colors
are being displayed from all prominent
points and the banks and many places
OF business, however, have closed Tor
the day.
Maj. Gen. Candy, in command of the
Department of Washington, issued an
order directing that today all duty in
the department, except for the police
and guard, be suspended from re-
veille" to retreat" The military head
quarters were closed at IL o'clock this
morning.
Secretary McCulloch directed that
the Treasury Department be closed at
noon and the Secretaries of War and
the Interior did the same The clerks
in the Navy Department were allowed

President Johnson's last reception Of
the season was held at the White House
tonight. The crowd of guests was much
larger than at either of the previous re-
ceptions. A continuous stream of Wis
itors passed in the receiving line from
8 o'clock to IL o'clock. The President,
who seemed to be in good health and
spirits, received his guests cordially.
Mrs. johnson appeared in public for the
second time and with her accomplished
daughters, Mrs. Patterson and Mrs.
Slower, received the guests with accus-
toned case and dignity. Miss Slower,
niece of Mrs. Slower; Col. Robert john
son, Col. Moore and Col. Loag of the
Presidents staff we're also present, the
latter gentlemen being accompanied by
their ladies.
The guests were presented to Presi-

floor of the White House were hand
somely decorated.
Mrs. Johnson was attired in heavy
black silk dress and black lace shawl,
lace cap and strings. Mrs. Patterson
wore black velvet dress, with low neck
and short sleeves, white lace shawl, hair
curled and dressed with red camelia

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, February a.
How long is the world going to laugh
at "Charley's Aunt?
This ancient comedy, which made
tears run down the cheeks of our grand
parents, will be one Of the big feature
length comedies of AL Christie's coming
program.
sgd Chaplin made this ageless COM
edy many years ago in silent films and
1t had record run throughout the
world. "Charleys Aunt" was one of
the first pieces ever saw in a theater,
when I laughed until my curls nearly
bcbbed off. And I got there mainly
because grandpa wanted an excuse to
go back to it.
Perhaps we laugh at the same things
over and over again and will continue
to do so as long as We live. Loss of
equilibrium is still one of the foolproof
laugh makers of stage and screen. Only
in recent years has Charlie Chaplin
abandoned to certain extent the ba-
nana-peel tragedies which were an I'M
portant part of his early films
Luncheon hour in Hollywood is an
informal thing. Much business of the
studios is transacted across the tables.
All actors and actresses eat sparingly
and writer's cannot do a good afternoon
of dialogue or work out difficult plot
If they have consumed heavy meal.
So short orders prevail and the spirit
of informality. But the high-water
mark of nonchalance was reached yes
terday when little Sally O'Neill dropped
down on Marshall Neilans knee and
had very Jolly visit at the table where
he was lunching with a group OF
executives.
Some time back Marshall Neilan was
the kiss boy Of Hollywood. Each day at
luncheon ladies We'd with one another
to plant ringing salute on the Irish
mans lips. He's a clever man and has
sense of humor. Perhaps lady on
the knee each day during luncheon will
bring some lines of print his way. If
such is the case, I've fallen for it.
Hedda Hopper is not only smart, bril-
liant and possessed of sense of humor,
but she's clever actress as well. She
plays parts suitable to her maturity
and by maturity mean just that. The
thirtieS are the most intriguing years
of a woman's existence If she glorifies
them by a frank admission of their eX-
istence and the exercise of the poise
and experience they bring.
Hedda Hopper plays roles suited to
her and renders them distinguished

Thin, Falling Hair.

Most people have noticed how closely
the condition of their hair corresponds
with their general state of health. And
chlet among the causes of thin, falling
halr Is poor health, or, to be more ex-
act, the absence of vibrant health. A
great many people are satisfied with a
low degree of physical fitness. The
halr roots" depend for their nourish-
ment on the oily secretion Of the seba-
ceous glands, and these in turn are de-
pendent on the circulation of blood
through the scalp. In conditions Of
lowered vitality this circulation becomes
impaired and the sebaceous glands be-
come either overactive or idle. The
hair is then correspondingly too oily or
too dry.
Hairs do not have roots lin the usual
sense of the world, but If you pull a
hair out Of your head you see light
ball sticking to the end. This bulb is
made up of a number of smaller bulbs.
They are formed around nerve gland
at the base of the hair follicle and are
pushed forward and upward to the neck
OF the follicle, where they concentrate
into horny stratum, which, when ex-
posed to light, air and sunshine, gains
strength and color and continues to
grow.
The hair follicle or hair cell is formed
OF minute blood vessels and nerve It's
sues, the walls being a complete net
work Of these two organs. Just as loTig
as the nervous and blood systems are
In a healthy condition this hair folliclc
will continue to perform its functions
chat of producing new hair bulbs)
When either the blood or nervous sys-
tenn is affected these minute tissues are
soon affected and the formation of new
bulbs ceases. The bulb and hair in the
follicle shrink and fall out, and If slim
ulation is not resorted to the follicle
becomes dormant. Following this con-
dition, badness very often comes unless
proper treatment, thorough massage and
stimulating tonicS are given.
Scalp massage and brushing of the
hair should not be neglected by any
one who wishes = 1uxuriant head of
hair. Daily brushing for 20 minutes tc
half an hour with . clean hair brush

trate through the ham is most bene-
fetal The brush bfiStles should not
be so stiff as to initiate the scalp.
Where the scalp Is tightly bound down
and the local circulation is poor, scalp
massage is very essential. A 10-minute
massage every night and morning will
loosen up the scalp and stimulate the
circulation of blood through the scalp
Electrical and sun treatments are help
full also.
The general health, if run down or
depressed, always has an adverse effect
