MODERN SCIENCE SAVED
LIVES IN BLAST HORROR
Only five of tho badly burned workers
Injured In tho explosion at" the plant of
the Kddystone Ammunition Corporation
have died in tho Chester and Crozer Hos
pitals at Chester. This saving of human
life Is attributed In large nfcasure to tho
efficiency of a Philadelphia business house
and; the scientific attainments of American
physlclana.
When word of the explosion first reached
this city tho H. K. Mulford Company at
once dispatched Its expert, Dr, Paul S.
Pittengcr, and H. K. Mulford, Jr.. to Ches
ter with two truck loads of metal bottles,
glass tubing and about 600 feet of rubber
hose. This was for the purposo of Im
provising apparatus for tho application of
the Carrc'.-Dakln treatment.
Tne Boy Scouts were put to work assist
ing Doctor Plttenger and Mr. Mulford
manufacture the apparatus for the applica
tion of tho Carrel-Dakln treatment. The
patients were attended to as rapidly us
possible, and In a few hours tho wards
were quiet and nearly all the patients man
aged to sleep a little. v
This was entirely due to the efllcacy of
the Carrel-Dajtln treatment. This con
sisted of keeping tho wounds saturated with
sodium hypochlorldo solution This stcr
Ized the powder burns perfectly in tlilrty-
hours. The solution was applied through
rubber tubes bound up with the bandages,
making it unnecessary to unbandage the
wounds to renew the solution.
when the wounds were perfectly steril
ized the second part of the treatment was
.applied. This consisted of a mixture of
Paraffin, petrolatum, oil of eucalyptus and
Beta naphthol. It Is usually sprayed on the
wounds, but In this case speed was the
great essential and it was painted on with
a whitewashing brush bought for tho pur
pose. Dr. Alexis Carrel, of tho Rockefeller In
Mltutc, of New York, has developed the
Carrel-Dakln treatment, while Dr. McNeil

DRYS PLAN GREAT
FIGHTTHIS WEEK
Will Push Bill to End
Liquor Traffic in State
During War
BITTER CONTEST CERTAIN
HAimtSBUnci. April 10.
.i'i l,lttfr "Rl,t ovcr " question of
whether Pennsylvania shall go dry during
the war with Germany will develop In tho
Legislature this week.
The leaders nf both the liquor forces and
the drys are assembling here today and aie
busy lining up the Legislature on n bill for
State-wide prohibition as a war measure
Tho recent defeat of local option was
nothing more than a skirmish compared to
tho contest that Is expected to result over
the Introduction of the prohibition meas
ure. The drys declare that .the bill Mill be In
troducrd at once and hope to win over
enough of the legislators who voted against
local option to pass the bill. The measure
they plan to fight for would place Ponnsl
vnnlii in tin- "bone-dry" column only while
the war lasts. When the war Is over the
liquor laws that are now In force would
again go Into effect.
Wlillo tho drys are hoping to win many
of the wet votes through a popular appeal
and the plea that the legislators discharged
wnaievor obligations they owed the honor
forces when they otcd against local option
the llcpior men declare that a prohibit 'nt
bill cannot receive any morn votes than the
local option measure, which was given seventy-three
votes a month ago.
The food problem Is the principal reaoi
behind the proposal to place this State
the dry column during the war. The iP
leaders hope to arouse the State In mil' '
poll of.lt tlllotigli the plea f couseni'i,
tho food and tho man powr of the i'mp
inonwealth. '
Another aigument they ar. making Is
that prohibition vwmld eliminate the sa
