Agreement Made
for German Bank
New Institution ould Be
Depository for Repara
tions Funds.
Paris, March ♦.—The plan agreed
upon by the reparation experts for a
new German bank of issue Is to or
ganize the institution in two depart
ments—a banking division to he locat
ed in Berlin and an issue department
in a neutral country. The bank would
be governed by a board, one-half of
whose members would be German and
the other half representatives of allied
and neutral countries.
The president would be a German
and the comptroller non-German. If
the president and comptroller are In
agreement In decisions a majority df
tlie board is to rule, but if the presi
dent and comptroller disagree a two
thirds vote will be necessary for de
cisions.
The bank would be the depository
of reparations funds which are paid
In marks of the new gold currency,
so that questions could not be raised
of default In payments through rea
sons of exchange. The capital of the
bank probably would be equivalent of
*400,000.000.

Flu and Robbed Hair
Epidemics Raging at
York Last Few Weeks
__/
York, Neb., March 4.—Two opi
demies have been raging in York for
some weeks. *
One is ihe usual late winter Influ
enza anil tho other ts Ihe bobbed hair
question, “To bob or not to bob."
Both epidemics are attended with
fever and chills, the latter with chills
of apprehension as to what the family
will gay, and fever of excitement to
have it done before some one else
does. Blondes, brunettes, gray-haired
and henna—ail are sacrificing their
crowning glory to the fad of the mo
ment.
At the barber shop the colonel's
lady and Julia O’Hr^dy are fraterniz
ing as never before, while mere man
are having recourse to safety razor
and the family bathroom • for the
morning shave. ,
While no market quotations on ba.r
l>er supplies and millinery goods have
been received, Indications are that
there may be a slight rise in the for
mer and a corresponding fall in the
latter, unless the bobbed ones buy
spring hats to carry as attractive ad
juncts, for to spoil a "permanent" by
wearing a hat is neither artistic nor
economical.
