was almost worse than nothing. In a
general way the boy knew, as he grew
older, that other boys here and there
enjoyed three n%ourishing meals a
day, and slept in beds by themselves
and had enough clothing to keep them
warm. Yet it seldom occurred to him
to think much about other boys in this
world, because he was always con
cerned with the problem of satisfying
his hunger and his craving for warmth.
At the age of IA he went to Lowell
to obtain employment. But he was a

him how to make money with ease
One companion of the waif from Clare

order for SIS he could secure the
money without any danger and
promptly lose himself in some other
city. The boy was without any an
swering argument. Indeed, the plan
appealed to him, for he lacked many
necessities of life. So he made Out

done, presented it at the cashiers Of

rabbi, going to the door, was seized

MAYOR DECLARES
FOR FIREWORKS
SMALL BOY MAY SHOOT HIS
HEAD OFF
Notifies Police Department That Noise
Should Be Tolerated If No Law
Is VioIated--Chief Quotes
Ordinances

Mayor McAleer is determined that
the small boy shall shoot firecrackers
to his hearts content on July 4.
When he read yesterday that the
chief of police had declared there
should be no firecracker shooting or
other display of fireworks within the
city limits, the mayor was highly in
dignant that the chief should have
stepped over his head in giving such
orders, and for "a few minutes the tele-
phone wires between the mayors Of
fee and police headquarters sizzled
with the things the mayor had to say.
Captain Flammer, who is acting as
chief in the absence of Chief Aubie,
fatty denied to the mayor that he had
issued any such orders or in any way
implied that the small boy could not
have all the fun he wants on the
Fourth.
There is a city ordinance regula ting
the exploding OF fireworks.
The Law
1t says that within a district bound
ed by Hill, Los Angeles, Seventh and
Temple streets, no fireworks may be
exploded at any time without written
permission from the chief of police.
This same ordinance also prescribes
within what boundaries outside this
district no fireworks may be exploded
between the hours OF ~ o'clock mid
night and o'clock the following morn
ing.
Except for these prohibitions. fire.
works may be explided all day long,
from o'clock on the morning of July
to midnight of the same date, and as
far as the ordinance is concerned ev-
cry other day in the year. Sunday in
Guided, as well as the Fourth of July.
"Im in sympathy with the small
boy" said Mayor McAleer yesterday.
II was small boy once myself and
haven't forgotten how much fun IL
was to shoot hrecrackers.
81 only wish could lay aside the
cares Of office and the years of man
hood and be a little feller again when
the Fourth of July comes round. But
while l can't have this kind of run
myself as long as l am mayor the
boys are going to have the privilege
of shooting off their firecrackers.
II am head of the police service, ana
as long as there are no violations OF
the law. there is going to be plenty
OF freworks.'
