Mexican Herald. a sturdy race which
increases by the excess of births over
deaths is continually being reinforced
by immigration, and that Of the best
kind. The consuming power Of the
population of Canada is very large,
and accounts for the heavy importa.
tions of foreign goods and the excel.
lent support given to home industries.
Argentina, with about million less
population than Canada, is rapidly in
creasing in wealth II is interesting
to see that the influx Of immigrants

tinues, just as Il does In the case of
Cuba and Argentina. The ancient

HOPE FOR MILLION.
tuberculosis Societies to Unite In
Selling Seals for Letters.

New York Especially Arrangements
for the sale of Red Cross Christmas
seals for 1910 were announced in a bull
letin just issued by the National Associa.
tion for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis and the American Red
Cross. "A million for tuberculosis" will
be the slogan of the 1910 campaign.
Two features of the sale this year are
unique and will bring considerable capi-
tai to the tuberculosis fighters. The
American National Red Cross is to issue
the stamps as in former years, but this
organization will work in close co-opera-
tion with the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, which body will share in the pro-
ceeds of the sales. The charge to local
associations for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to l21a per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuher-
culosis work in all parts of the United
States.
The stamps are to be designated as

be placed on the backs of letters

THE BENEFITS OF
A SANE FOURTH
National Holiday Not So Like a
Battlefield.
Notable Improvement Shown In the
Days Casualties Since the Move
ment for a Sane" Observation,
Though the Record Is Still Fright
full One.

Chicago Especially Although the list
OF deaths and accidents due to the cele-
bration Of the Fourth'of July is appall-
ing, the Sane" observance of the day this
year shows a notable improvement in
this respect. according to statistics com
piled by the Journal of the American
Medical Association which were made
public here.
The decrease in accidents is most mark
ed in those sections where restrictive
legislation has been put in effect, the
journal says. The summary shows;
1.-TWO thousand nine hundred and
twenty-three injured July 4th this year,
of which l3l died. SiXtv.seven deaths
were due TO tetanus; nineteen killed out.
right by fire arms; eleven by explosions
of powder. bombs or torpedos. six by
cannon or similar contrivances, while
twenty-siX, mostly little girls. were burn
ed to death by fire from fire works.
Startling as is this showing. it is the
best since 1903. when the journal began
keeping its record. In 1903. 444o per-
sons were injured, Of whom 466 lost their
lives 400 of them dying from tetanus.
"The grand total for eight years shows
that 1896 persons have been injured in
Independence Day celebration. OF these
1862 died, GOA as the direct result of
their injuries. and 0Gs from tetanus fol-
lowing injuries. One hundred and
twenty-five persons have lost their eve.
sight; 55l have lost the use of one eve;
432 have lost the use Of arms. legs or
hands, and l,54l have been crippled by
the loss of fingers.
"The decrease from 1903 to 1910 is
due to more intelligent methods Of cele-
bration. the most marked decreases oc-
curing in states where the agitation for
restrictive measures was most urgent.
Massachusetts had this year only one
seventh Of the injured It had the previous
wear; Missouri New Jersey and New
York reduced their injuries TO one.third;
Illinois ard Ohio to one-half; Pennsyl-
vania reduced its injuries to two.thirds
of last year; Indiana. Iowa and Wiscon.
sin show larger totals than year CO."

travelling over Lake Erie from Euclid

was covered at a rate of n mile a minute.

At LOG p. NJ, with the cheers of 10000

where 100000 persons had grouped them
selves along the lake front and on top

faded into the mist beyond Rocky river,
the western extremity of the city's 49,
mile water front.
At l.26 p NJ, just 90 minutes after
leaving Euclid Beach, the biplane was
sighted off Dover Bay, 90 miles distant.
At LAC it passed Lorraine, at l.5s
crossed directly over Vermillion and at
2.lS was sighted at Cedar Point. Five
minutes later it glided onto the beach in
front of the Breakers Hotel.
crowd of 10000 persons gathered on
the beach went wild when Curtiss landed.
The throng rushed down on the aviator,
lifted him from the machine and carried
him on its shoulders to his hotel.
Had the aviator been able to maintain
the speed at which he started out he
probably would have broken all speed
records. West of Dover Bay, however,
he encountered air currents that material
ly impeded his progress.
