In The Little Knight Of the x Bar b.

delightful. The little hero is real boy

restored TO his mother who had long
given him up for dead. and later inherfts

Fire Patrols.

Owing very largely to the fact that the
autumn rains set In heavily, the disas-
trous forest fires OF the Northwest have
at last been checked. but not before they
had done incalculable damage and cost
many lives Now that the danger has
passed and we have time to reckon up
our losses, we can see plainly that there
was good deal in the contention OF
Mr.. Pinchot that much of the loss was
preventable and could have been check
ed had enough money been provided by
Congress TO employ an adequate number
Of fire guards, rangers. and patrolmen.
Undoubtedly the losses would be
very much heavier had It not been
for the splendid work performed by the
troops Of the regular army, who were
called upon to aid the efforts of the
rangers. This suggests that part, at
least, OF the work Of protecting the for
ests might well be undertaken by the
soldiers Of the United States army. There
can be no insuperable objection TO keep
ing reserves of troops in the vicinity of
the national forest reserves. and the task
Of fire patrolling would be no harder
or more hksome than some Of the work
that does little good to any one-that
they are required TO do now. The prim-
airy object Of drill at the army posts
is to set up the men physically and to
render them amenable to discipline, OBJ
jects which could be attained equally
well If the men were put on the actual
duty OF fire patrol It would be a neces-
sary work only during certain months Of
the year-the summer months-and this
life in the open. we take II. would
make them harder. more efficient. and
capable soldiers in time Of need.
We have to pay a good deal for our
army, small as it is, and there seems 10
be no reason why part of it, at
least, should not be made useful In the
way proposed. The number Of men who
would be available for the duty OF fire
patrol IS so great that Il would be
impossible for any fire TO gain much
Roadway before ii could be fought and
conquered. and the service would be
honorable to the fighters and profitable

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Bombardment of Fort McEIenrv-Sept. 10.

1t was on the night OF September e.
1914 that the British navy bombarded
Fort McHenry, and gave Francis Scott
Key the incident that called out his "a
nous song. The Star Spangled Banner. -
Fort McHenry was established as q mill
tary post in 1874 It occupied a reserva-
ton of thirty-fve acres on milestone
Point. Patapsco River, Md. 1t is about
three miles from Baltimore. Its site was
first occupied for military purposes in
ITO. In 17s4 it was established as per-
manent fertilization, and was named
after James McHenry, one OF Washing
toms private secretaries during the Revo-
luton and Secretary of War in l7sS.
Following the attack on washington.
in which the British burned the Capitol.
they felt confident that the task would
be an easy one of taking the larger and
richer city OF Baltimore After making
a raid up the Potomac and plundering
Alexandra, they sailed up the Chesa-
peake and anchored off the mouth OF the
Patapsco on September II. But the city
had not been idle. The fate OF the Capt.
tai had taught people a much-needed les
son. Led by the mayor. they threw up
embankments on I'll sides, and erected
batteries. while the militia poured into
the city till 1900 were present and ready
for duty.

The Safe and Sane Fourth.

The movement through the last three
or four years, looking TO the establish
ment OF safe and sane" celebration
Of the Fourth of July found ample justi-
ficatiOn in this city this year, for in the
statistics that have been complied by the
Journal Of the American Medical Asso-
citation. Washington. which for two years
has had a prohibitive ordinance, shows
an absolutely Cleen record.
But other cities have not been so for
tunate. and it is evident that there is
continued need Of the campaign OF edu-
cation. Last Fourth there were no less
than 2,e23 injured in fireworks celebra-
tons. and Of these 131 died. Sixty-seven
deaths were due to lockjaw following in
jury, and sixty-fOur deaths were direct.
Nineteen were killed outright by FIRE
arms; eleven by premature explosions;
six by cannon. and twenty-six were
burned to death And this appalling re-
suit. after all that has been said and
urged about a safe and sane Fourth. -
The journal that publishes these statis-
tics first began 70 collect its figures in
1903, and startling as they are for this year,
they make the best showing for any year
since the figures were gathered. In 1903
there were 4.44s persons injured, Of which
466 died. In the eight years since the
figures were taken It is shown that 3d.
526 persons have been injured IN Fourth
Of July celebrations, Of which 1852 have
died. One hundred and twenty-five per
sons have lost their sight; SOL have lost
the use Of one eye; 432 have lost arms
legs. and hands. and 5l1 have lost fingers
The decrease in deaths and injuries this
year is, however. gratifying, as 1t shows
that the campaign Of education is spread
ing and bearing fruit And il will be
seen that wherever the people have been
wise enough 70 apply restrictive measures.
the loss has been least In Washington.
where we have strong restrictive meas
ures, there was neither injury nor death
Pennsylvania. which shows the largest
number of injuries, still reduced its list
by one-third from last year. Indiana.
Iowa, and Wisconsin alone show larger
totals than the year before. For the first
time in four years ST. Louis and Boston
report no deaths. but of other cities. NIL
waukee. Jersey City. and Des Moines
show large increases.
1t is plain from these statistics that the
matter is one which rests almost en-
tirely with the authorities. II has been
shown that warning in regard to the use
OF fireworks is useless; there are no half
measures possible. Prohibition OF tho
sale Of fireworks is the only remedy.
It is fine TO be noisily patriotic at
times. but not at such cost IN suffer-
ing as these figures show There should
