NEW ANTISEPTIC IS USED
French Soldiers Supplied With Powder
Intended for Immediate AppIica-
tion to Wounds.

AS an antiseptic for immediate
use upon wounds, Chief Surgeon
Vincent of the French army, inven-
tor of one of the best systems of anti
typhoid vaccination, is distribut-
ing to the soldiers little jars Of a
powder based upon DR.. Alexis Car
rePs hypochlorite antiseptic fluid,
with glass tubes through which to
blow the powder on the wound.
Doctor Vincent's invention is
chloride of lime mixed with boracic
acid, both in powder form. Its ap-
plication causes no pain, even if
nerves be exposed, only sense Of
warmth. The powder dissolves very
slowly, so that its antiseptic action is
prolonged for several hours.
According to La Nature, treat
ment with this powder has proved
so successful that Doctor Vincent is
instructing all the regimental sur
geons in its use.

JAPAN's BIG NEW WARsHIP.

Rapid progress is making on the
great battleship Nagato, $4,000 tons,
on the stocks at the naval yard at
Kure, says the East and West News.
She will be larger and faster than
the Ise, now building at Kobe. Her
speed will exceed 21 knots, that of
the Ise; her principal arms will be
larger and heavier than those on any
battleship ever built in Japan. Prep
arations are making at Kure fer the
construction of a 4O,OO0-ton war
vessel. The shops at Saseho are very
busy overhauling warships.

LUCK HAS FAITH IN NAME
Automobile Driver, Hurt In Bad Spill,
Asserts He Can Justly Claim
Charmed Life.

There is much in a name, accord
ing to the physicians at hospital
where Anton Luck, a twenty-four-
year-old farmer, was taken following
an automobile accident, says an ex-
change.
Luck, who was returning home
with a party of five other young men,
was driving his automobile and had
turned out when he realized he could
not pass another automobile ap-
preaching from the opposite direc-
tion in time.
He drove his car up the bank at
the side of the road, threw himself
and his five friends out of the car
and when he reached the hospital he
announced he could not be hurt, as
he told the physicians he bore a
charmed name.
Although the physicians said
Luck had received a few score
scratches and was severely bruised,
no bones we're broken, and the man
seemed to be all he believed himself
to be as far as the name went. His
friends, who we're shaken up consid-
erably, were able to go to their
homes.

COMMON Law Wife
Wins COMPENSATION
Court of Appeals Decides Case Under
Workmen's Act.
Special to The Washington Herald

Special TO The Washington Herald.
New York, April 22.-The Court of Ap-
peals has just sustained a decision Of the
Appellate Division. which held that the
common law wife of a man killed while
at work, was entitled to compenssti ton
under the workmen's compensation law.
Part Of the opinion of the court reads:
"On the one hand, It will be argued
that alleged common law marriages, "
such marriages are permitted, arc liable
to become the basis of fraud and black
mail. especially after the death CT one
of the parties On the other hand, 1t
may be urged that II such marriages are
not recognized 1t will happen hat the
disgrace of an unlawful union or of lille
gitimacy will be inflicted upon unsus-
picious women who have believed them
selves to be lawfully married. and upon
innocent children.
Especially it may be urged that II
other than statutory marriages be denied
1t will happen that because of .he repeal
of the provisions of the act of 1901, saving
from illegality because of some innocent
or inadvertent mistake marriages at
tempted to be consummated in accord
ance with the provisions of the statute.
many marriages may be rendered void or
voidable because OF a perfectly innocent
and inconseQuential omission to comply
with the statute"

TODAYS AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about us and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or careless
treatment. If we are very careful in
hair washing, we will have virtually
no hair troubles. An, especially fine
shampoo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of the
hair, that dissolves and entirely re.
moves all dandruff, excess oil and dirt
can easily be used at trifling expense
by simply dissolving teaspoonful of
canthrox (Which you can get at any
druggists in a cup of hot water. This
makes full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply it to all
hair instead of just the top of the
head. This chemically dissolves all
impurities and creates a soothing, COOL
ing lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant, while
the hair takes on the glossy richness
of natural color, also a fluffiness
which makes it seem much heavier
than it is. After a canthrox shampoo
arranging the hair is a pleasure.-Adv

The aeroplane has proved itself one
OF the most important and essential in
Etruments of modern warfare" stated E.
r. Scott, who is stopping at the Sterling
Hotel.
Il have recently returned from an 1S-
months stay in Europe, visiting both
belligerent and neutral countries, and
made a special study Of the part the
aeroplane has played in this great war.
The aviation corps Of any army is with
out doubt one of the most important in
military service. No move, either de-
fensive or offensive, is made without the
use Of the aeroplane. and many of the
first important battles in Europe were
fought in the air.
