The campaign now has been fairly years the cannon cracker and been brought from major action to minor skirmish propor tions. Before the safe and sane propaganda began to take hold the fifth of July list of ble to the site of the hospital roster after the Battle of the Argonno, ' . " . Though the fire cracker fatalities are now counted iii hundreds where once they were counted in thousands and tens Of thousands, there is a new menace to life and limb which in the last few years has threatened to equal the fire worts terror in its most malignant form. ' This is evident in the growing passion of American peoplo to take theni Belves out and get themselves run over by street cars; ihter Urbans, steam trains and automobiles. Pedestrians and -motorists alike suffer this weakness, for Americans now seem to call rid holiday Complete unless there is a death list for the day after.. The fifth of July, the thirty-first of Mayy arid the Tuesday after Labor day ai'o perhaps the three blackest days Oil the calendar, but iany bright Sunday when the roads are good will give the Mon day newspapers that terribly trite headline, "Family Killed in Crossing Accident," . If the American people have sense enough to listen' to the preaching arid follow the practice of the campaign Against dangerously explosive fireworks, they should be in telligent though to : listen to and practice the doctrine of safety and sanity on the highways. ..... It takes a killjoy bf the worst variety to tell people that the' Only sure way to avoid trouble on a holiday-crowded highway is to stay home, but some such drastic command ment seems to be the only plausible solution,. Between the firecracker, and the automobile, the firecracker seems to be the less deadly bf the two evils.' , Only 8000 suffer injury or death from fireworks every year, while the automobile ac counts for over 20,000 deaths and 500,000 injuries annually. If we Wust make the Glorious Fourth a holiday, why not make: It a holiday from the customary killing? ': . .'.!: 1 b i -i THE WOMEN STILL PURSUE, i" ,1 - -V Granting that the ladies are entitled to the vote and Hint they have their- place lit politics, it seems a dead shame that the female politicians, cari't leave some symbol of man's for mer glory as a man's revel at which he can enjoy himself and still kid himself that he! is bosii There is, however, to ba no such lucki - ' ' - ? .r' ' V i 4 The handwritlrig oil the" wall was written large in box car letters at White Plains, N. Y., the other day, when the Women's Republican club hit't the Westchester County Board of Supervisors on tho greensward arid played 'em a game of bufeebitll. This hofal'lotis and insidious event will 116; dpubt become a custom, for the silk-stocking vote must be couxed tilling. It's too bad. - ' ! , :. Time was when the baseball gillne between tho county courthouse and tho city hall was a man's game, in which nly the flabby male office-holders could indulge and acquire Charley horses and stiff arms. There was refined political eUMsitig in those days, and tobiiiico eating alid divpi-s other Inanly sports. ' . - . . ' But the times, as Shakespeare said, are out of joint. The bid order has changed for something that is beyond compre hension. Politics used to be a game, but now it's an art. ;. With new radio wave lengths scheduled to go into effect soon, and with numberless dissatisfied stations colled to strike as soon as the new regulations go into effect, it is fairly certain that the radio situation will be much of a jum ble all through the remainder of tho year. Test cases will naturally result from the action of the dissatisfied stations, and unless the supremo court, which will eventually have to decide upon the whole matter, speeds tip its serenely amb ling wheels, there is no hope for clear air for some time to come. The, commission has probably done as well as any body could have done. All the listening-in public can do is bide its lime, as it has done in countless other red tape mud dles, and hope this tangle will not last too long. 0 : Tho G. O. P. has j ut the soft pedul on all third-term talk. ' Here's a suggestion : Why not call it the non-stop pres idential record. Eight golfers out of ton arc married, according to tho 'statisticians.

We had to go on tiio north side of the mountain because of the soft snow on the other side. When we were about two-thirds of the way up we had dinner and a nap, which we sure needed. From then on the real climb began, with banks of clouds passing us and making It hard to see. It was also hard to walk be cause of the wind. ' ' - "About 10 o'clock we could just seo the top, with tho wind blowing between 85 nnd 70 miles an hour, so by this timo wo had all. fours digging like everything trying to make headway.

A number of witnesses have been questioned but no light has been shed on the hoax, which has caused much laughter . at the expense of the government. Some of the newspapers declare the affair is doomed to remain a mystery unless M. Daudet's royal ist followers decide to tell the story.
