The article from the Ladies' Home
Journal, published in the Oregon
ian, on “ Follies (or the Fourth of
July,” is pertinent and timely. The
fatalities due to unwise parental in
dulgence upon that day, as repre
sented in the toy pistol, the giant
firecracker and other noise-produo-
ing exponents of juvenile enthusi
asm, have increased steadily fron
year to year, until they have reach
ed alarming and indeed shocking
proportions. The desire to ronke a
noise on the Fourth of July is
natural one to juvenile Americans.
Indeed, this desire is not confined
to the youngsters, and it is not the
policy of men who remember when
they were boys to discourage it.
But events have too often proven
that this desire is not exercised
wisely, and that it must be kept
wtthin reasonable limits, if deaths
from lock-jaw and injuries more or
less serious and permanent to
large number of boys are not to fol

holiday.
Looking over the casualty list of
