 Although the Fourth of July has not got here yet, still the business of shooting off fire crackers is going on and has been for the past couple of weeks and if the youngsters keep it up until next Thursday there will be noth- ing new in it when the national holi- day comes around. It is a dangerous pastime for children, especially when their parents are not aware that they have powder in their possession and it seems that the law should. be so framed that they could not buy powder or fire crackers until the eve of the Fourth.
