TIME FOR HEALING OF
WOUNDS IS SHORTENED BY
NEW TREATMENT
(By Associated Press. J

Paris, April 28.-The new Carroll
treatment of soldiers wounds has
brought about reduction of the pc
riod Of convalescence, according to
a report now submitted by DIR. Uff-
holtz, chief surgeon of division of
the French army. Under this pro-
cess employed by DR.. Alexis Carroll,
the report declares. the time requir-
ed for the healing Of wounds has
been shortened to sixteen days in ex-
treme cases, as compared with three
months. On the average the period
of evolution Of the wounds is reduced
about two-thirds.
The great advantage Of the use Of
the hypo-chlorite of soda for the
continual washing of the wounds is
that 1t accelerates wonderfully the
progress of healing to the point
where the edges of the wound may
be brought together by stitching or
by adhesive bandages. In some
cases DR.. Uffholtz has noted that a
disinfection of from to 9 days with
this process has been sufficient to
permit the closing of the wound.

WAR IS LEvELLING
SOCIAL BARRIERS IN LONDON
(By Associated Press. }

London, April 2S.-How complete
ly the war is levelling all social
barriers in England was illustrated
again at the last of the series of
three parties given by the king and
queen at Buckingham Palace for
wounded sailors and soldiers. The
function was attended by upwards
of 500 men, who were afterwards
entertained at a variety show pro-
vided by stars of the London stage
in the riding school of the royal
news.
Practically all of the members Of
the royal family excepting the king
and queen helped wait on the guests
at the tea party. Among the royal
mattresses who served and chatted
with the guests. taking great inter
est in their individual stories of ad-
venture at the front or on sea, were
the kings daughter, Princess Mary;
the Princess Royal, the Princess
Christian, the Princess Maud, the
Princess Victoria, Princess Arthur of
Connaught and the Duchess OF Teck.
The king and queen spent two
hours moving among their guests
and making solicitous inquiries, the
sovereign evincing special interest in
clearing up particular points as to
charges and counter-chrges in bat
ties that are now historic and re-
fiecting the thorough manner in
which he had familiarized himself
with the strategy of the war. Queen
Alexandria, widow of the late King
Edward VII, seemed everywhere in
evidence and an object of particular
affection.
Addressing the bluff-looking SOL
dier on attempting to rise to greet
him, the king said: "Sit down, my
good fellow; you're made your
stand for US and in the very best
way" Looking toward the viands,
the king added: but mind you
stoke up we'll"
1t was an afternoon of gaiety, of
unrestrained laughter and Of good
fellowship from which all formality
was banished and in which the king
and queen and Queen Alexandra
Joined unrestrainedly.

ORGANIZED LABOR GETS
HIGHER WAGES AND
SHORTER HOURS THAN
EVER BEFORE
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, May 1..-Organized
labor received more in the year end
ing with May l in increased wages,
shortening of hours and legislation
than ever before In its history, ac-
cording to officials of the American
Federation of Labor. Wages ad-
vances were general the country ov-
er in virtually every line of indus
try and laws benefitting labor were
put on the statute books of every
State in the Union except five.
Wage increases were greatest in
the metal trades, many of which
were stimulated by war orders. Cot
ton manufacturing was the only
main industry which did not grant
substantial increases. The metal
trades, too, claimed the greatest
number of strikes during the year,
though many plants increased the
pay of their men and cut working
hours voluntarily.
One benefit brought by the indus
trial revival which labor officials
consider as important as increases
in wages was the effect on unemploy-
ment, which has disappeared with
in the past year Statistics just com
pleted by the Department of Labor
shok men of all grades have been
called in to work. Iron and steel
mills have on their payrolls now SO
per cent more men than were en-
ployed year ago and the car build
ing and repairing industry has in
creased its forces by about the same
percentage. Manufacturers Of boots
and shoes are employing 20 per cent
more men than this time last year.
Wage increases during the year
have ranged from to is per cent.
No statistics have been compiled by
either the Department Of Labor or

MANY USES FOR HEATHER
(By Associated Press.

Paris, May 1.-The largely in
creased expectation of heather from
Denmark to Germany was supposed
to have been due to the need of the
Germans for a substitute for forage.
1t was also said that tea was made
from the heather blossoms. A Ger
man soldier, native of Schleswig,
now explains that the heather is
placed in front of particularly ex-
posed trenches and set a fire on the
approach of gas clouds. The burning
heather heats the air which, in ex-
panding, disperses the poisonous va
ports, he says.

the American Federation of Labor,
but reports coming in to both tell of
what is being accomplished in man
ufacturing plants in all parts of the
country.
The Department Of Labor puts the
country's 1915 strikes at 1900,
about 600 more than the year be-
fore. About two-thirds of them were
for wage increases or decreased
working hours and most of them
were successful. Munitions strikes,
sta ding in the summer of 1915, at
tracted much attention. Most of
them were for shorter hours without
pay Increases. Shorter hours gener-
ally wee obtained by the munitions
workers, but where wage increases
were asked the workers seldom got
as much as they asked for.
Strikes in the clothing industry in
Eastern cities involved a number of
strikes, but their duration was COM
paratively short. A Middle Western
clothing strike, in Chicago, however,
lasted for three months and involved
from 5000 to $4,000 workers. 9th
er strikes Of Importance during the
year included the building trades
strike nj Chicago, which halted
building in that city for time; the
oil and chemical strikes at Elizabeth,
N. j., and neighboring cities and
the Chicago street car strike. The
Eastern Ohio coal strike was settled
Just year ago.
The causes of strikes and lockouts
were numerous. In a total of 1900
strikes three hundred were for wage
increases; 1873 for a shorter working
day; 80 because of wage cuts; 60
because of discharge of union men;
40 because OF employment of non
union men and 20 for open or closed
shop.
The most significant feature of
the years labor legislation is given
by labor leaders as enactment lof
workmen's compensation laws. The
growth Of the industrial commission
plan is considered of great import
ance also. This plan unites in one
authority the administration of |
workmen's compensation, factory in
spection and other labor laws. It |
was adopted during the year by Col |
orado, Indiana, Montana, Nevada
and New York.
Unemployment received the atten-
tion OF a number of legislatures. IL
linois established a commission on
unemployment; California and Ne
vada investigated unemployment !
and Idaho provided emer-
gency employment through county
boards.
Public employment officers were
by California, Idaho, I

WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE
W. FLORIDA IN ALABAMA

Pensacola, May N.-At the open.
ing session Of the twenty-fourth an.
nual convention of the Alabama
Bankers Association the response to
the address Of welcome to Florida
and Pensacola, By E. r. Malone
president of the American National
Bank OF Pensacola, was delivered by
Oscar Wells, president of the First
National Bank of Birmingham,
which proved to be one of the most
entertaining and instructive ad-
dresses Of the initial session of the
bankers.
Mr.. Wells explained that he was
an eleventh hour substitute for
Lieut.. Gov. Thos. E. Kilby, of Ala
bama, who had been unavoidably de-
tanned at his home. His address,
however, proved that he was a most
excellent substitute and to the Pen
sacolians who attended the conven-
tion, was particularly pleasing
throughout.
"The resources of the section of
which your splendid old city is the
center" said Mr.. Wells, "are won
derful; and we Of Alabama, whose
Interests are SO closely identified
with, your interest, entertain the
neepest concern for your progress
hnd prosperity.
Would Claim Florida
Indeed. geographically, this Sec
lion of. Florida should be a part of
he great state Of Alabama, and since
he line which divides us s but one
imagination, we Alabamians
bometimes forget that your section
pf Florida is not in fact a part of
pur splendid old commonwealth. As
b matter of fact, to illustrate Just
how much we Alabama folk desire
that you should be a part of Alabama
the last constitution of our state
contains a provision authorizing a
bond issue for the purchase of this
section Of Florida.
Concluding his address, Mr.. Wells
predicted that the convention of the
banks from his state would tend to
cement closed relations of friend
ship as well as OF business between
the people Of Alabama and this sec
tion Of Florida.
