When Surgeon Washes His .Handp.
" DR.. r. R. Won Baracz, the eminent
Austrian surgeon, recommends In the
Wiener Medisinische Wochenschrift
the following method Of washing the
hands for surgeons before performing
operations or handling wounds. He
says he learned it from Doctor Weir
Of New York:
A HANDFUL Of chloride Of lime IL
placed on one plate and some crystals
Of ordinary soda on another. After
carefully cleaning the hands with soap
and brush, a soupspoonful Of chloride
Of lime and crystal Of soda are taken
In the hands and crushed together with
q little water. This forms a paste on
the hands and requires three or four
minutes. The hands are then rinsed
IN sterile water. The odor Of the chlor-
Inc that Is released can be removed
BY ammonia water, I to 8 per cent.

Battlefelds

Mrs. George Barnett, who lived IN
Philadelphia when her husband. Major
General Barnett, commandant of the
marine corps, was stationed at League
Island, was the first American woman
to visit the Marne battlefields after the
American engagements there.

famous fields on which the marines won
immortal glory. On her visit. Mrs
Barnett decorated many of the graves
of fallen American heroes with flowers
Mrs. Barnett was summoned suddenly
to Paris by the serious illness of hel
husband, who went over to France fol-
an inspection tour of the marine units
there. Her trip to the battlefields was
made after he had begun to recover.
The Barnetts left Philadelphia wher
General Barnett was made commandan

mer Phila. Newspaperman,
s s Writes of Luck in War

A buckle on his belt saved the life
Of Lieutenant Walter A. Davenport
former Philadelphia newspaperman
when he was wounded at Fismes, on
the Eesle. Here is the way he tells
about 1t in letter to a friend here:
a"once, at Fismes, on the River
sVesle, the Hun sneaked a machine bull
let into me, but thanks to my belt
buckle, the bullet was DETECTED and ]
got away with twelve-inch cash that
ripped through the muscles of my ap-
domen, but failed to puncture the in
terror Of that rather complicated and
crowded sector of me.
ALSO, in house in Fismette. just
across the Vesle, I inhaled a liberal
dose OF yellow cross gas and was riot
ously Ill for a couple of days. But.
that's all, and all things consdered-and
there are a million things to consider
have been just loaded down with luck"
Lieutenant Davenport probably is a
captain by now, as he said in his letter
he had been recommended for the pro-
motion and expected to get 1t at once.
He is assigned to headquarters of the
fifth Pennsylvania Infantry, made up
Of the old Sixth and Eighteenth Regi-
Davenport was on the staff of the
PUBLIC LEDGER in Philadelphia. He
enlisted in New. York city in the old
Seventh New York Regiment which was
Incorporated into the 10th, but he has
been with the boys of the Iron Divi-
sion ever since they began fighting. He
was with them at Chateau -Thierry, ant
there won his commission as first lieu

His letter, written before the sign
ing of the armistice. describes Hallow-
cen. as he spent it in billets in ruin

officers were guests Of Captain William

GAS ENDS FOUR LIVES

Couple and Two Syrians

In the last twenty-four hours four
persons in this city were victims of
accidental death by gas poisoning.

Sprague, sixty and siXty-two years old.
respectively, 425 North Franklin street,
and Abdul Maid Assads and Ahamad
Katie, Syrian lace and embroidery sales
men, 247 North Sixteenth street.
The odor of gas attracted the atten-
ton of Mrs. Ida Ellis, proprietor of a
rooming house at the North Franklin
street address, about o'clock yester-
day afternoon. She summoned Police
man Harrah, of the Tenth and But
tonwood streets station, who centered the
room occupied by the Sprague couple.
The gas jet in the room was found to
be partly open. as was the window.
The two Syrians had arranged for a
Thanksgiving Day outing with u fellow
countryman. Hassan Abbott, also a
salesman, with whom they had come to
America five years ago. When Abbott
called at the Sixteenth street house and
got no response"from his friends he and
Hassan Jasper. proprietor of the house
summoned the aid of the police of the
| Fifteenth and Vine streets station to
force an entrance into the room.
The two men occupied separate beds
The gas jet was found partly open and
the window lowered from the top. Both
| bodies were removed to an undertaking
| establishment.
