WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is fad.
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always ad-
visable to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results from a
simple homemade canthrox mixture.
You can use this at a cost of about
three cents shampoo by getting
same canthrox from your druggist.
and dissolving a teaspoonful in a cup
of hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the
hair instead Of just the top of the
head, as with most preparations.
Dandruff. excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be SO
fluffy that 1t will look much heavier
than it is. Its lustre and softness will
also delight you.-Adv.

A British Port on the Southeast
Coast, July 26.-Just how a British
destroyer acts when attacked by
submarine was Unexpectedly demon
strated to an Associated Press CORE
spondent today while travelling on one
of the modern oil burner torpedo boat
destroyers from England to France.
The correspondent had been taken
aboard the vessel for the purpose OF
observing British methods of combat
ing the submarine menace when tins
boat was suddenly attacked by SUD
marine, a torpedo missing IT by
scant six feet, thanks to the vigilance
and quick action of the crew.

The destroyer was one of a certain
number which were conveying In the
usual manner some large transports
CARRYING British troops to France.
The group of ships was half way
across the channel when suddenly one
of the lookouts saw a pair OF twin
periscopes rise for a moment rev
inches out of the water and a halI
mile away. They were gone the next
instant but almost before they had
gone came the shout, Submarine on
port bow" accompanied by Shr1D
call of warning from the destroyer 8
whistle and the fluttering out of the
flag which notified every other ship
in the convoy of the enemy's presence.
On every ship things began to hap
pen, more quickly than the telling.
Guns were swung in the direction
from which the periscope had been
seen ready to speak if the periscope
appeared again. Torpedo tubes like
wise were swung into line and the
numerous anti-submarine devices
along deck were in the hands of their
skilled expert crews.
Swung Ship About.
The coxswain was the first to sight
the periscope and rushed Immediately
to an emergency lever whereby he in
stantly stopped the port engine, thus
swinging the ship with lurch 20 the
left. The torpedo whizzed thru the
water six feet behind the stern CT the
destroyer, it's gradually lessening speed
as it sank into the swirl of the engines
indicating that it's possibilities for mis-

Except for the coxswain's action III
twisting the ship from its course, the
