The celebration of America's Independence day results yearly In
many being killed or maimed and In the destruction of thousands of
dollars worth of property. In recent years the "sane" plan has been
tried effectively by several communities. This year a country wide
campaign for a safer Fourth Is In progress.

'31 for the Fourth of July and
all it implies.
.The Fourth is patriotic,
and it TEACHES PATRIOT
ISM. ; When I was a boy we used
to lay awake nights waiting for the
Knnrth t1 nlflnnino' what we
would do. But at the same time
it got me to reading up history
to learn just what the Fourth
meant The story of George
Washington and his Jittle hatchet
does not appeal to every one. -
SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO GO
SWIMMING, WHILE OTHERS EN
JOY BOATING AND OTHERS SOME
OTHER FORM OF
SPORT. THAT'S
ALL RIGHT, BUT
THERE ARE SOME
WHO . LIKE TO
CELEBRATE THE
FOURTH.
I know I used
to load ilp an old
musket, just cram it full of pow
der, then lay a train to it, set fire
to the fuse and -run with the rest
just as hard as I could until it
went off. Yes, we used to make
up our own fireworks.
Of course a regular program ar
ranged for the celebration of the
day in an orderly and safe manner
ia a good thing. But' at the same
time I would like to see plenty of
fireworks exploded under safe reg
ulations, i

VERY accident and death
that occurs on the Fourth
of July is set down as the
result of dangerous fireworks.
Eighty , per cent of these accidents
are really due' to TOY- PISTOLS,
CANNON CRACKERS, TOR
PEDOES AND REVOLVERS
in the hands of men who have
CELEBRATED THE DAY
NOT WISELY, BUT TOO
WELL
NO FIRECRACKERS MORE THAN
FIVE INCHES LONG SHOULD BE
USED. THEY AND THE TOY PIS
TOLS' ARE THE MOST DANGER

Partly as a result of the untir
ing efforts of some real patriots in
compiling statistics of the cost of
our celebration of the Fourth a
WAVE OF INDIGNATION IS
SWEEPING OVER THE
COUNTRY, and the time now
certainly seems ripe for some con
certed action for the protection of
our girls and boys.

child be allowed to handle the dan
gerous firecrackers which many
grown persons fear! '
THERE IS NO PATRIOTISM IN
LETTINQ A YOUNGSTER PUT IT.
SELF AND ALL THOSE AROUND
IN DANGER, IS THERE?,
When I was a boy there was
NO SUCH THING AS GIANT
FIRECRACK
ERS, and the
firecrackers used
were small and
almost harmless
compared with
those of today.'
Children can
be instilled with
patriotism with
much better re-,
suits and with
little or no danger to life, limb or
property by the PAGEANT
IDEA which prevails in England.
