T0DAY's BEAUTY HINTS

To clear up and whiten the skin
and secure that charm Of pink and
white youthful freshness SO much de-
sired by all women you will find
1t far safer to rely upon good
face lotion rather than powder. To
get rid of that shiny and muddy
appearance in your complexion, dis
solve four ounces of spurmax in one
half pint hot water. and add two tea
spoonfuls glycerine. Apply this to
your face. neck and arms. rubbing
gently until dry. This lotion does not
show or rub off like powder and Is
much better. II Is splendid for re-
moving tan. freckles, pimples. and
sallowness.
. You can make a delightful sham
poo for a very trifling cost II you
get from your druggist a package
OF canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful
in cup of hot water. Pour a little at
time on the scalp and rub briskly.
This creates an abundance OF thick,
white lather that thoroughly dissolves
and removes all dandruff excess oil,
and dirt. After rinsing. the hair dries
quickly. with a fluffiness that makes
it seem heavier than it is. and takes
on / rich luster and a softness that
->skes arranging II a pleasure.

SINKING HESPER|AN|
Last Of Submarines Reports to
Berlin-British Mines Again
Are Blamed.
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.

BERLIN tvia The Hague. Sept. 2s--
The admiralty has submitted to the
foreign office memorandum declaring
positively that no German submarine
attacked the Allan liner Hesperian.
The admiralty memorandum sug-
sests that possibly a British mine, in
tended for the destruction Of German
U-boats. sent the Hesperian to the
bottom of the Irish coast.
The admiralty informed the foreign
office. It was learned today. that the
last Of the German submarines oper-
ating In British waters on the day an
explosion wrecked the Hesperian. has
reported. No submarine attacked any
liner answering the description Of the
Hesperian, the admiralty reported: and
no submarine was In the vicinity Of the
Hesperian when the explosion tore open
her side.
Submarine boat commanders reported
that they sighted scores Of mines float
Inc IN the Irish Sea and off the Irish
coast. These mines. It was stated. ap-
parently were strewn for the purpose Of
sinking German C-boAts.
Ihe admiralty memorandum is un.
derstood to have been delivered to the
Ieesn otGa M Ss Ss ns az
in note to America.
1t was reported In some quarters to.
DAY that such q note already had been
delivered at the American embassy, but
this report was not confirmed either by
the foreisn office officials or by Ambas-
sador Gerard.
I'm these DAYS Of secret diplomacy"
smiled the Ambassador. IF had re-
cetved a note on the Hesperian case I
would be unable to acknwledge it,
As evidence OF the desire OF the
Government to bring about speedy and
complete adjustment of German Amer
ican relations. 1t was made known TODAY
that the Kaiser Is to receive Ambas-
eador Gerard upon his majesty's return
from the eastern front within a few
DAYS. The American ambassador has
not conferred with the Emperor for
many months because the latter has
peen at the front with his armies.
Germany continues absolutely conf
dent OF the ability of Ambassador Bern
storff to arrive at complete under
standing at Washington.
