Citizens Of Newark are toeing the
mark. prepared to dash away at the

safe and sal celebration of the one
hundred and rlI~s.-<qurth birthday of
the United States.
This celebration is scheduled 60 ScRan
at one minute after midnight tomorro%
and nothing short of a runaway comet
can stop it. We must lave our Fourth.
even If it is a modified one.
The emergency room of the City
Hospital was newly lined today with
an~tiseptics. antitoxins, oils, soothing
salves and bandage rolls in anticipa-
ton of the Fourth and its consequent
casualties. An extra force of internes
and nurses will be on duty.
No feature of the Newark festivities

much zest and eagerness as one which
is not on the official program. The
news from Reno should begin to come
in before shutdown. Every bit of 1t
will be shown on the STARS bulletin
board, and a STAR extra will tell the
detailed story when the fight is over.
Already enthusiastic patriots have al
lowed themselves to be carried away
by q fine advance frenzy to the point
that they ran afoul of the law.

works feature of the official program
will be more grand and glorious, more
patriotic and awe-inspiring than ever
before. -Four parks scattered through
the city are to be the scenes of the
Iyrotechnic displays, so hat no one
need go to bed hungry, for the colored
lights will explode In the heavens.
The hegira to the country and the
shore began last night and continued
throughout the morning. Automobiles,
boats and railway trains were freely
used as the transportation vehicles.
For those who could get out of the
city the Fourth of July was most ac-
commodating this yea by coming on
Monday, making out a nice little COM
