Had Refused to Halt.

London, March 29.-About $50 lives
were lost in the sinking by German
submarines of the African liner FaIa-
ba and the British steamer Aguila,
bound from Liverpool for Lisbon
The Falaba, torpedoed in st. George
channel Sunday afternoon, carried a
crew of 80 and 100 passengers, and of
this total 40 were rescued. OF those
rescued eight died later from expo
sure.
The Aguila had a crew of AZ and
three passengers, and of these 23 of
the crew and all the passengers were
lost.
Three of the Falaba's lifeboats were
swamped. Many persons aboard the
vessel were thrown into the sea, where
they struggled while the submarine
circled about, offering, according to
stories told by those rescued, no as
sistance.
The skipper of the fishing boat
Ottillie, which participated in the res
cue work, reported that no efforts
were made by the crew of the sub
marine to assist the persons who were
struggling in the water
In both cases on sighting the sub
marine the captain ried to escape by
putting on all speed possible, but the
underwater craft overlook the steam
ers showing that Germany now has
some of her most modern submarines
engaged in the blockade operating
against England.
No Chance TO Escape.
The captain of the Falaba, who was
one of those lost, was given five
minutes to get his passengers and
crew into the boats, but according to
the survivors. before this was pos
sible a torpedo was fired, striking the
engine room and causing terrible
explosion. Many persons were killed
and the steamer sank in 10 minutes

CUSTODY OF CHILD AWARDED BY CROW Mary Blackburn Will Be Cared for By Maternal
 Grandparents

Custody of little Mary Blackburn, for whose possession her parents have been contending in the circuit court for sev- eral days. was yesterday awarded to her maternal grandparents, Mir and Mrs. w. w. W. Shuptrine of rexiana, Ark, by Judge E. C. Crow. they being required to enter into surety bond of s5ooo to carry out the provisions of the decree and to maintain the Jurisdiction of the court over the child. Judge Crow also deereed that the mother, Mrs. Monnie Blackburn, could visit the child during school term and that during the vacation period tho father, Dr. Carl Blackburn, should have that privilege. An appeal will be taken by the petitioner
 The suit was brought on habeas corpus proceedings in the circuit court of Jefrer- son county, although both parties lived at Fayette. They had separated and Mrs. Blackburn took the child and went to her parents home in Arkansas. She had oc- casion to come to Birmingham to consult her attorneys and brought the child with her. Dr. Blackburn secured writ or habeas corpus and Sheriff Batson took the little girl. who is years old, into pos session. He, however, appointed the grandfather special deputy sheriff and allowed him to hold the child pending the litigation.
 The evidence in the case at times bor- dered on the sensational and Judge Crow excluded all persons except court offi- cials and others interested. A pathetic feature of the trial was the testimony of the little girl.
 In rendering his decree Judge Crow stated that in reaching his conclusions he had in mind what would be for the best interests of the little girl and that while it's grandparents on both sides were willing and able to properly care for her, he decided that the advantage lay with the maternal grandparents
 Mrs. Blackburn was represented by Frank s. White, Jr., aud Carmichael and Wynne. The petitioner was represented by Bankhead & Bankhead of Jasper and Earle Pettus

Why Do French Women
Always Look Young

In France mothers and daughters look
ike sisters. How are the women there
able to retain their youthful looks until
long past middle age? Is 1t because they
are much given to the use OF mercolized
wax? This wax possesses a remarkable
absorbent property which quickly re-
moves the fine particles of cuticle which
are constantly dying and which are the
immediate cause of an old-looking COM
plexion. Thus the livelier, healthier,
younger skin beneath is given a chance
to breathe and show itself. Try this
treatment yourself. Most likely il will
not REQUIRE two weeks to make YOUR
complexion as clear. soft and beautiful
as young girls. Just one ounce Of
mercolized wax (all American druggists
have it usually does the work. rhe
wax Is nut on nights like cold cream
and washed off mornings.
Another valuable secret with which
the French are familiar Is how tn
quickly remove wrinkles. One ounce of
powdered saxolite dissolved in a half
pint witch hazel. makes a marvelousIv
effective astringent lotion The face
should be bathed in this daily until
even the deepest lines are affected -
