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.
