Ninaty Lives Lost.

New York, May Is. - Ninety lives
were lost on April "a in the torpedoing
of the 1928 ton British liner Abosso,
off Fastnet, according to stories of pas
sengers here today from Europe.
The ship was torpedoed without warn
ing Forty-six passengers were lost
and A of the crew.
The Abosso was unable to stop her
engines after the German torpedo
struck and the hull smashed into three
of the lifeboats, crushing those aboard
or drowning them. She was bound from
Nigeria to Liverpool
According to the version brought here
the Abosso was stcaming 300 miles
south of Fastnet on the night of April
"a. About 8 o'clock a lookout saw
lights ahead. Almost immediately aft
erward the torpedo exploded against the
ship IS side No submarine was sight
ed then or later.
The Abosso was armed and fitted
with wireless. An admiralty patrol, sum
moned by wireless, picked up the surviv-
ors within As minutes and landed them
in Liverpool
Thomas w. Cooper, Of Watonga, Ok
lahoma, passenger, and Louis M GOD
Gus, of New York, a member of the
crew, were both among those saved.
More than week ago the London
Chronicle printed story demanding to
know why the British admiralty con-
cealed the torpedoing "of certain big
shipu with q Gloss of more than 20
hves.'' The Chronicle probably refer
red to the Abosso.
The Abosso is listed in Lloyd 8 as =
steel screw liner of 1882 tons registered
at London and owned by the African
Steamship company

Beds.

The bed was originally de-
signed as soft spot for the
tired man to lie on.
Most hotels and some private
houses have utterly missed the
idea. The average hotel bed is
either humpbacked, sway
backed, suffers from lumps or is
otherwise deformed.
Next in point of atrociousness
is the sanitary couch. 1t may
be sanitary but it doesn It even
possess the advantages Of that
old-time instrument of sudden
death, the folding bed. The fold
ing-bed would occasionally serve
to shut mans wife up when
nothing else could, but the sani-
tary couch can't even do that.
Then. there's the narrow, hall
bedroom bed. This type has to
be fitted with stirrups before
