Help Deal With Austria.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, March "a dispatch from
Cetinje. Montenegro. to the Vossisches
Zeitung says that Prince Nicholas has
asked Great Britain for it's assistance In
securing from Austria the cession or lease
of the port of Spezza to Montenegro.
In that case Prince Nicholas would be
willing to break entirely with Servia and
recognize Austria's title to Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
Spezzia is a town Of Dalmatia. just
north Of the Montenegrin boundary line
and has fine harbor. Since the Servian
question became acute it has been the
rendezvous Of a formidable Austrian
squadron, the. presence Of which Monte
negro regarded as a menace. Spezzia
Austrian by virtue of paragraph % of the
Berlin treaty. AS that paragraph has
been virtually abrogated by Austria's seiz-
ure of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montene-
gro is OF the opinion that it should be re-
stored to her. Last November she made
a formal claim to that effect, which Aus
tria refused to consider
When Austria annexed Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Servia and Montenegro be-
came close allies and Montenegro put her
self on war footing for the purpose Of
assisting Servia against Austria, Servia
agreeing to meet the expenses Of the mo-
bilization which amounted to $2U0.OOO
Servia has failed to keep her promise in
this respect and Montenegrin sympathy
for Servia has cooled.

DANGER IN NAPHTHA HAIRWASH
WOMAN OVERCOME IN HAIR
DRESSER'S HANDS.
Breathed Fumes of Mixture From
Locks Combed Over Her Face.
Health Officers Warning.

Because woman recently became un-
conscious while her hair was being
dressed with a compound containing a
large proportion of naphtha, Health Of
f1cer William c. Woodward today sent
out a warning to women against the use
Of hairdressing mixtures containing a
large percentage Of this fluid.
The case which inspired the warning
was reported to the health officer a few
days ago. prominent woman of the
northwest. whose name is withheld.
called a hairdresser to her home. The
patron requested that the hair be combed
forward SO that it would hang in front
Of her face, and her directions were fol-
lowed.
After the work had progressed for a few
minutes the woman gave a quick gasp
and collapsed in the chair. The hair
dresser spoke to her, but he found she
was unconscious A physician was called,
and when he arrived few minutes later
the victim was slowly regaining con-
sciousness. He gave the proper restora-
tives and the woman recovered.
AS the locks fell In front of her face,
1t Is believed. she breathed the aroma Of
the mixture, and that is believed to have
acted as an anesthetic.
When the case came to the attention of
the health officer he obtained statements
from the persons concerned. and got a.
sample Of the hairdressing compound
used. When it was analyzed it was found
to contain naphtha In a large quantity
and oil of bergamot. The oil was put in,
Ii is believed, to give the dressing a fra
grant odor. and was found in only a
small quantity.
An investigation Of the action Of naph-
tina on the human system showed that
experiments made by medical men have
proved that naphtha. II taken internally
in suf1ciently large quantities. will pro-
ouce Inconsistencies or vertigo; and
Health Officer Woodward explained that
the inhalation Of naphtha would produce
similar effects.
He also stated that no prosecution
would follow the investigation of this
case, as there is no law concerning it,
