Japanese Accept
Chinese Offer to
, Pay for Railway
MM
Amount Fixed at 53,000,000
(old Marks Plus Amounts
Of Improvement Sub
ject to Tokio Approval.
H Tb AmmcUImI I'rma. ,
Washington, Dec. 16. Subject to
Tokio's approval, the Japanese dete
Eatlon yesterday accepted the Chi
nese offer to pay 5.1.000,000 German
gold marks for the Kiao Chow Tsin
audi railroad in Shantung, plus what
Japan has made in permanent im
provements but less deterioration.
When the conversations between
the two delegations was renewed
yesterday the Chinese olTered to buy
the railroad outright in cash, but the
Japanese, it was said, raised mics
tions as to why this course was pro
posed, pointing out that all other
railroad., in China had br.cn built
with the aid of foreign loans.
The Chinese delegates replied that
the Chinese consortium was ready
to finance the restoration of the rail
road and China's desire was to make
use of this in order to do away with
"foreign control."
Mr. llauihara of the Japanese dele
gation said after the meeting suffi
cient progress had been made toward
a settlement of the Shantung ques
tion, but would give no details.
l;rom the Chinese, however, it was
learned that after the provisional ac
ceptance of the Chinese financial
offer for complete Chinese control
over the railroad, the discussion
centered on the mode of payment.
No decision was reached and the
discussion will be continued tomor
row. -
The amount agreed on virtually is
the valuation placed on the road, ex
clusive ot the adjacent mmcs, by the
reparations commission set up under
the treaty of Versailles.

Sought.
Detroit, Dec. 16. Bare kitee,
heavily rouged lips and very short
skirts are bars to substantial ad
vancement of girl employes in De
troit. Kxecutivei lo not agree with Misi
Annie Matthews, register of the
county of New York, who announced
tecently her employes may wear
what they please.

ues the powder puff and lip nick
paritigly, and nukes emblnc
ot biding her knees with tier thoit
kkirt U sought for jobs here.
Mits Harriet Comic, brad of the
s! allium State Telephone Training
tchool, said:
"We abhor the frivolous, flighty
type of git' and if we find tlut a
girl in our employ develops sucti
tendencies we tell her that her pi
tion is at ttak. unlet she inodihe
her appearance. We need girl ol
stability, and it is my experience
that girls who are style extremists
do not poes that quality. Girls
with bobbed hair are usually told
it would look better under net
and not to present the appearance
of a Fiji Wander." .
Mi Sarah M. Sheridan, sales
manager of the Detroit Ediion com
pany, said: .
"We don't - hire girls who are
flashy or conspicuous, but endeavor
to secure grils of refinement a:td
good taste."
