The Fourth of July is not a distinct
ly American institution. To be sure,
it happens to be independence day for
the United States, and more than a
century and a quarter of observances
of that great event have brought it
about that the signing of the charter OF
American liberties in the old state
house in Philadelphia on that date
Overshadows all else when the
holiday arrives. But there are other an
niversaries which fall on the fourth
day of the seventh month, some of
them quite as much by chance as did
the signing of the Declaration itself,
some of them because it was the
Fourth of July. but all of them of suf-
ficient Importance to hold their places
in the records of history or science or
literature, as the case may be.
1t is a list of 2S items, and here in
America at least, it will be best to be,
gin with
1777-The Declaration of Indepen-
dence signed by the Continental con.
gress, in session in Philadelphia.
Then may be followed in order four
events so closely allied with this same
great uOCulneHI IJSelI, Vi WITH us
spirit, to be fairly corollaries to it
17SS-Federal procession in Phila-
delphia to celebrate the ratification of
the constitution of the United States.
1S26-The deaths of Thomas JEFF
ferson, author of the Declaration of
independence, and John Adams, one OF
its signers. on the 50th anniversary
of its birth.
1S31-The death of James Monroe.
whose doctrine enunciated years
previously. has becore one of the fun
damental principles of American gov
eminent.
After these anniversaries, so pecu-
liarly appropriate to the day. the list
can perhaps be more conveniently ar
ranged with regard merely to the chro-

Saturday afternoon at the Davenport
baseball park between a team repre-

of hustle and activity, as the grinding

a substantial and welcome addition to
the industrial concerns of the city will
have been made.

There was one James Adams, fore

DOVECOTS IN SCOTLAND.
According to Law, No One May Build
More Than One.

More Than One.
1t is not universally known that the
right Of erecting a dovecot was a priv
ilege only to be enjoyed in England by
the lords of the manor, and the law
was vigorously enforced on this point.
But in Scotland. according to a statute
still held in observance, nobody has a
right TO build a cot in either town or
country unless he is the owner of land
yielding about $50 imperial bushels of
produce per annum, and this property
must be situated within at least two
miles of the dovecot or pigeon house.
A further enactment also states that
on the above named conditions only
one cot shall be built
A distinguished authority on hus-
bandry estimated that in 1923 there
were 10000 dovecots in England and
that, allowing 500 pairs to each house.
the damage wrought by the birds in
devouring corn would work out at no
less than 1900. 900 bushels-that is, an
allowance OF four bushels yearly TO
each pair. Any one who destroyed a
cot was guilty of theft and IS so held
at the present time in Scotland 0he
act was passed in 1879. while third
offense of dovecot breaking was capt.
tally punishable. Perfect specimen
Of these cots are becoming scarcer ey

Albert Jacobs. living at 1921 Sixth
avenue, experienced the sensation of
an aerial artist and also that of a
football player Friday night in live
ly runaway down Third avenue. Near
the Manufacturers hotel his buggy
collided with another, precipitating
him to the street. Friends picked
him up in an unconscious condition
and he was taken inside the hostelry
where DR.. Arp found that he had
broken three ribs and sustained other
serious bruises. He was taken to the
hospital. 1t seems as though after
supper he decided to go buggy riding,
so he secured a horse and carriage
from a down town livery. This outfit,
however, was not swift enough for
Mr.. Jacobs, so he substituted it with
an outfit from another livery. This
horse proved too much.
