Charges Plot to Murder
Lloyd George with Darts

Derby, Feb. S-That 1t was planned to
shoot Premier Lloyd George with poison
darts was the sensational charge made
by Attorney Frederick H. Smith TODAY in
opening the conspiracy case against Mrs.
Alice Theoldon, her two daughters and
her son-in-law, Alfred Hason, all charged
with conspiracy to murder the premier
and War Councillor ARTHUR Henderson.
The attorney general referred to the pris-
oners as desperate and unpatriotic peo-
pie.

Crews of the sixteen Ham
burg-American and North Ger
man Lloyd liners interned in
Hoboken, began swarming
down the gang planks this af-
tcrnoon, leaving the vessels on
"leave of absence"
All. of them said they had
been given leaves and were
seeking other quarters, though
none profcsscd to know the
reason for the sudden leave.
The general exodus followed
the discovery of the wrecking
of the Austrisn-American liner
Himalaya in Newark Bay. The
sailors said they understood
their officers were remaining
behind to hand over" the ships
to port authorities in the event
of a crisis.
When questioned regarding
rumors that preparations were
being made to scuttle the in
termed ships, the sailors leav-
ing the vessels invariably re-
piled:
"Well, we don't know any
thing about that. We were told
to take our things and get off
the ship while we could"
The taxicab company which
formerly handled the business
of the two lines removed all of
its cars from the piers near the
interned liners, where they
were stored when the war
broke out.

No class of people devotes as
much time to beauty as do
actresses, and no class must - be
more careful to retain and develop
their charms. Inquiry develops the
information that In hair care they
find 1t dangerous to shampoo with
any makeshift hair cleanser. The
majority say that to have the best
hair wash and scalp stimulator at
a cost of about three cents, one
need only get package OF cam
throx from your druggist; dis
solve a teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water and your shampoo is
ready. This makes enough sham
poo liquid to apply 1t to- all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head. After its use the hair dries
rapidly, with uniform color.
Dandruff. excess oil and dirt are
quickly dissolved and entirely dis
appear when you rinse the hair.
After this your hair will be SO
fluffy that it will look much heav-
Ter than 1t is. Its lustre and soft
ness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth.
