surgeons own hands are pro-
tected by sterilized rubber
gloves, while the skin area OF
the patient, where the cutting
is to be done, is thoroughly
cleansed with green soap and
alcohol or with some other
germ-killing solution.
If individuals in treating
their own wounds would be as
careful as the doctors are be-
fore they operate, blood pois-
oning would surely become q
rarity. Yet it is astonishing
how many cases appear each
year and how often they prove
fatal.
In this connection, mention
should be made of one cardinal
principle in medical science,
which states that, wherever pus
exists, free drainage is abso-
lutely essential. In other
words, all assesses must be
opened so that they may dis
charge their poisonous con-
tents, otherwise the toxins are
absorbed into the body and are
likely to do damage, even in
places remote from the site
of the original trouble.
Always, therefore, think of
the possibilities of blood poison
ing whenever the skin is bruised.
Wash the part; keep it sur
gically clean; protect it with a
Sterilized bandage.
And should signs of increased
Inflammation appear, such as
increased pain, swelling or ten
derneSs in parts near the
wound, lose no time, but see
your doctor forthwith.

FRENCH At ISSUE
ON RESTORATION
Work on Marie Antoinette's
Hamlet at Versailles
Criticized.

PARIS (P.-Restoratjon Of Marie
Antoinette's famous hamlet at VersalleS
has become a controversial issue, with
Frenchmen divided as to the historic
and esthetic results achieved with the
money of John D. Rockefeller, jr.
Pierre De Nolhac, member Of the
French Academy, historian Of Versailles
end curator of the historic buildings, Is
leader of the critics.
Taking the architect, Patrice Bonnet,
10 task in the newspapers for what he
considers a too-thorough job, M. De
Nolhac has expressed the opinion that
the quaint little houses, where the
Eseens household lived some $50 years
Rao, look too new.
The buildings should have been
patched with bits of thatch and cement,
he suggested, instead Of completely re-
Constructed. The gardens where Marie
Antoinette and her ladies-in-waitmg
frolicked, should never, in his published
belief, have been restored, as it Is doubt
ful. he said, If they ever existed.
Defended by Ministry.
To M Bonnet's defense has come the
Ministry of Fine Arts and the Historic
Monuments Commission. Expressing
satisfaction with the work, which Is
under their control, they said it fol-
lowed the original plans of Mique,
Marie Antoinette's own architect.
Throughout the dispute there has
been no criticism of Mr.. Rockefeller
or his gift of more than $2,600.000 for
restoring the palaces of Versailles and
Fontainebleau, as well as the Rheims
Cathedral
Welles Bosworth, American architect,
who has been directing these Rookie
feller enterprises, said they would be
Terminated by December 81, 1885, after
nearly Is years of work.
The work at Fontainebleau has been
Terminated and the palace has been re-
stored exactly as 1t was when first con-
Structed. 1t now houses the American
conservatory of music and an American
school of fine arts.
Work on Cathedral.
At Rheims, the understructure of
The cathedral has been completed. The
roof Is being repaired, while the tower
and bell-cluster, destroyed by German
gunfire, are being restored. This work
Is expected to be completed in 1894
Restoration of the Versailles palace,
which has been going on for II years,
includes the gardens, fountains and
theater, as well as Marie Antoinette's
hamlet. The palace itself has been
given a new roof, its marble has been
treated for the ills of age and even the
statues have been supplied with missing
noses, ears and hands, as the case
might be.
Thanks to the Rockefeller generosity,
Marie Antoinette's bed room in the petit
trianon has been refurnished and made
to look as it was in the days when she
and the women of her court played at
rustic life in the artificial hamlet close
by. The room was redone with second
empire furnishings by order of the En-
press Eugene in 1867. These have been
replaced.

NEW YORK, Sept. % Q.N.SO.
Talk, which is so cheap, is re-

animals. And, for that excellent
reason, television, as it exists to-
day, will never supplant the radio.
such is the opinion of Senator
Marchese Guglielmo Marconi,
father of the wireless, who ar
rived in New York today with his
wife en- route to Chicago and the

Marconi, who sent the first
transoceanic wireless message in
1902, was welcomed by a large

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Sept.
28 GN.SO.-Two armed forces
of National Guardsmen and po-
lice today were surrounding sepa-
rate wooded tracts in northern
Indiana, where at least four of
the 10 escaped convicts from the
Indiana State Penitentiary here
we're believed trapped.
One heavily-armed force had
closed in on a woodland near
Walkerton, Is miles southwest of
South Bend, while the second
group of militiamen and police
surrounded tract 13 miles
southwest of the prison.
Told to "ShOot 1t Out"
The convicts, all long-term
prisoners, were armed and the
troops were instructed to "shoot
It out" with them if necessary.
Two convicts were believed to be
hiding at each point of concen-
tration.
It was this same quartet of
felons who kidnapped Sheriff
Charles Neel of Corydon, fleeing
In the officers car with him as
hostage. Despite close search
by more than 1000 officers and
militiamep, no trace of the kid
naped' sheriff was found, and
authorities fear he was slain.
Sheriff Believed Slain
Relatives and friends Of the
missing sheriff, arriving here
from Harrison county after
260-mile drive, were of the
opinion he had been killed and
his body concealed. They or
ganized searching parties to hunt
the territory between Deep River
and North Liberty, where Neel
last was seen with the fleeing,
felons.
Two others were hunted on the
western outskirts of Valparaiso.
Searchers could find no trace Of
the other convicts, who appar-
emily had made good their escape
by Communicating automobiles.
Residents of the entire terri
tory spent a sleepless night in
fear the convicts might swoop
down upon their homes in search
of food or automobiles.
Trusty Disappears
While the hunt was in progress,
William Morrison, colored trusty,
walked out the State prison gate
and disappeared.
Four men in the grayish blue
denim of prison garb were sighted
late yesterday in the woods near
McCool. One of the three COM
panies of the 18th Engineers,

LOSS CLAUSE
Method Provides Assessment
of Penalties Against "Un-
fair Competitors"
BY LEIGH MATTESON
,pyright, 1898. by International News

Copyright, 1888. by International News
Service)
An ingenious method OF pre-
venting cut-throat price competi-
ton without resorting to the
"stop-loss" provisions now con-
tained in the master retail code
was under consideration today by
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
johnson and President Roosevelt.
Not much is known about the
method, except that it would
enable a retailer to make a
direct cash profiu out of any
competitor who unfairly at
tempted to attract customers by
going very far below cost in sales
reductions.
Additional Penalties
In ADDITION to this penaliza-
tion, the cutthroat competitor
would be deprived of merchan-
disc he had advertised at the
unfair" prices, and customers
would be displeased with him,
rather than pleased by his action,
it was said.
Both johnson and the Presi-
dent are said to be carefully
weighing the possibility of utiliz-
ing this method of curbing GER
tain present retail practices
which Johnson specifically de-
nounced as "unbridled cutthroat
competition and chiseling" at the
opening of the public hearing on
the retail code
In order to use this method,
however, the NRA would be
forced to substitute other pro-
visions for all the present recon-
mended "stop-loss" and resale dis
count restriction provisions in
the code, which applies to drug
stores as well as all general re-
tail and speciality stores.
Explanation Awaited
AS less than half of 1 per cent
of the nations retailers have ex-
pressed opposition to the stop-loss
provision, the A d m inistration
would be expected to explain why
the change was necessary. This
would involve an expression on
currency initiation which the
President is reluctant to make.
observers believe.
Johnson was scheduled to return
to his office today after an alb
sence of six days, due to a minor
operation for an infection. His
doctor, however, ordered him to
stay in the hospital as he still had
a temperature.
Senator Robert F. Wagner CDO
of New York, chairman of the
National Labor Board, also will
discuss recent labor disputes and
strikes which have developed in
various industries while johnson
has been convalescing at Walter
Reed Hospital.
