The Fourth of July that quickens
the heartbeats Of all American young
sters and the nerve quivers Of all
American mothers Is once more upon
us, fact too well realized as we
dodge an exploding coil Of firecrackers
or blink fast as we hurry by a street
urchin cooking his toy pistol.
But while the din Of the Fourth, In
stead OF stirring our souls with pa

when the day is safely over and we
sit at the front window, waiting for
the evenings fireworks-our sidewalk
already saturated by cautious hose
and buckets of water standing on the
roof-we begin to feel reconciled to
our forebears' indiscretion in signing
the Declaration Of Independence.
Our earliest recollections link the
Fourth of July and fireworks SO indis-
solubly together that we fancy 1t was
the vivid conviction OF the nursery
that Washington and his associates,
after signing the illustrious document,
hurried round the corner to confer
with the inventors Of pinwheel, bomb
and rocket, writes Mary G. Ringwalt,
in the Los Angeles Times. But long
before the colonial fingers let go their
hold on the mother hand, long before
America claimed her own on the
worlds map, some ambitious wizard
had stolen into fairyland and secreted
himself there until he had learned the
magic art Of making fireworks. Just
when and where he gave the first dis
play on his own little planet, history
does not record, but very early the
