Now THE LOVER of gruesome statistics is
gathering up the figures which measure the
casualties, fatal or otherwise, due to Gunpow-
der Day, otherwise July Fourth. 1t is well to
do so as constant warnings will lead in time
to saner Fourth. Some cities took the bull
by the horns and actually did away with much
of the nuisance of noise and dangers incident
to the day, such as Washington, San Francisco,
Cleveland, Toledo, Springfield, Mass, and even
Chicago to a certain extent. These places
limited the gunpowder danger largely and
some, like Washington and Cleveland, abol-
ished it altogether. There is one way to allay
much of the public annoyance of the day and
this is to prevent or stop all explosions on the
public streets If the small boy is confined to
the back yard he will not be so anxious to put
off explosions. He wants to hurt or scare
some one, or else wishes to be seen by the
multitude. In the seclusion of the back yards
fireworks lose much of their interest to our
young barbarians."
