full One.

Chicago Especial 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;
Two thousand nine hundred and
twenty three injured July 4th this year,
of which l3l died. Sixty.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 1908, when the journal began
keeping its record. In 1903, 4,449 per
sons were injured, Of whom 466 lost their
lives; 406 of them dying from tetanus.
The grand total for eight years shows
that 81 ,526 persons have been injured in
Independence Day celebration. Of these.
1862 died, 604 as the direct result of
their injuries, and 96S from tetanus fol
lowing injuries. One hundred and
twenty-five persons have lost their eye
sight; 55l have lost the use Of one eye;
432 have lost the use of arms. legs or
hands, and l,54I have been crippled by
the loss of fingers.
The decrease from 1908 to 1910 Isl
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
year; Missouri, New Jersey and New
York reduced their injuries to one-thirds
Illinois and Ohio to one-half; Pennsyl-
vania reduced its injuries to twc-thirds

sin show larger totals than a year 60"
