FIFTH CUNARD LINE
 SHIP TO BE SUNK
TuScania First Transport Carry-
 ing American Troops Lost

New York, Feb. 7.-For some time the Tuscania has been under charter to the Cunard Line and she is the fifth Dig vessel of the Cunard Company lost since the war began.
 Although prior to January i of the present year there were more than 2oO,OOO American troops in France according to the statement made bv Secretary of War Baker, the Tuscania was the first transport to be torpedoed on the voyage from an American port to France. Several American trans ports, however, have been torpedoed on the return journey, after having debarl1ed troops
 When the TuScania was first put in to service her appointments for 1lrSC cabin passenger of whom she could carry $50. were sumptuous. The pan cling of her main lounge room was Tn olive wood, inlaid with line sycamore. The floors were of polished oak
 A veranda cafe, cafe and gymna- sium, smoking rooms, dining saloons, and novel system of heating and ventilation were features of the new liner. The first and second class statorooms were situated on the bridge deck and shelter deck amidships and were large in size and well furnished.
 It is probable however, in view of the eXigencies of the situation, that the steamer had been stripped of most of her luxurious fittings in order to take as great a number of troops as possible on each voyage.
 The Tuscania was British passen- ger and freight steamship of 14,34S tons gross register. She was built at Glasgow in 1914 and was owned by the Anchor Line.
 The last report of the Tuscania was her arrival at an Atlantic port, Jan uary 17. last.
 The Tuscania during her days as a passenger liner was one of the best equipped vessels in the trans Atlantic service. She made her maiden voyage in February, 1915, and for Q time was in the service of the British admiral ty but later was restored to her own CTS for regular service.
 She was 567 feet long, with a sixty six foot beam and was equipped to carry 2,500 passengers in cabin and steerage accommodations. The ship had twin screws and a speed of about eighteen knots. On several occasions since the war began she was the ob- ject of torpedo attack but managed to escape through her speed, assisted by defense guns.
 Lfe-saving appliances were pro- vided for 2,500 people when the boat was in passenger service, there being fifty lifeboats on the vessel. The ship was fitted in machinery to correspond with her sister ship, the TranslyVania.

Today's Beauty Hint

II IN not necessary TO shampoo your
hair SO frequently II It Is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use Of a really good sham poo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty OF the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissofvtng teaypoonful OF Canth-
rox, which can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup of hot water. This
makes a full cup of shampoo bquid,
enough SO 1t Is easy to apply It to
all the hair instead Of just TO the
top off the head. This. when rubbed
into the scalp and onto every strand
of hair. chemically dissolves all i'm
pUrfties. II is very soothing and cool
ing in its act4on, AS well as beneficial
TO both SCALP and hair. After rinsinE
out tho lather so created you will
find the scalp is fresh, clean and free
from dandruT, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing a
bright luster and a soft fufFinees that
makes it seem very heavy.-Adv.
