a - , , , Mr-. -jC r - KLAMATH Price Ten Cents 51 Pages In The By FRANK JENKINS -On the Fourth of July, in these Jays, (especially when it falls near tin end of the week and is urt'cherf out into a three or four day holiday) Americans take to the hi(!hw. v and a lot of them are killed itud even more are maimed The n. xt day the editors all write nieces a! out it, deploring the reck . Jessness f the American people nd IMPLORING them to be more careful. After that, we forget all about It. Modern madness? 1 doubt it. In earlier generations, we ganged up in the county seats and shot off Jlrecrackers (including tne cannon t nd) in the public square ana hurned blisters on various parts of our anatomy and from time to time blew off fingers. When that palled on us, we tamped gunpowder into sections ol gaspipe and touched it off by means of firecracker fuses, frequently kill ing ourselves. I think Americans just like to live dangerously, At any rate Out of it all this maxim can be deduced: Our pleasures are more danger ous than our labors. So much for our domestic af fairs. Let's take a look at what's going on overseas. In Brussels (capital nt Belgium) Friday night Forms Pi evident Hoover tcid an audience tVut the anti-American profunda that is in evidence all ow iie world could SEND THE UNITED STATES BACK TO ISOLATIONISM. "False legends" about America. be said, are being spread through out ine world, this sminaBandis. he added, has led to t tiysical attacks on U.S. citizens ard officials. He aid he doesn't at present feel that America will retreat 16 an isola tionist policy. But He added i "THE DANGER SIGNAL IS UP." He is right. The signal IS up.
