DANGERS
Still Prevalent In Portions Of.
Ohio On The 9th
State Fire Marshal Issues
Timely Bulletin
Tells What Kind Of Fireworks
Are Dangerous
And What Kind Should Be
Avoided By All
The Day Still Called "Ouf
Fatal Fourth"

Columbus, O., June 2e-The fire
marshal issues q bulletin this week
on "Our Fatal Fourth-Its Dangers
Still Prevalent In Portions of Ohio:"
This bulletin Is designed to warn the
people of those communities in Ohio,
who remain unprotected by proper or
dinances from the sale of dangerous
fireworks and the injuries likely to re-
suit from their use. Happily the resi-
dents of many Of our cities and viliag-
es can view the approach Of our ma
tion's anniversary with entire eQuan-
Unity, for their councils, IN their wis
dom have provided against the sale Of
those dangerous agencies with which
young America was wont to celebrate
the day.
Last year this department, In an ef-
fort to do something pract'cal to elm
mate the dangers to life and property
incident to our mistaken tdSas oon-
corning proper celebration OF the
Fourth, sent out copies Of ordinances
regulating the sale of are works and
recommended that they De parsed by
the various councils in municipalities
throughout the state. Some or our
larger cities and towns alresoy had
such ordinances in operation, and the
good resulting tberefron, brought q
hearty response from many quarters.
AS result of the legislation passed
prior to the last fourth Of July, there
was reduction Of fifty (50) per cent
in accidents and fires in this state Incl
dental to the celebration.
Many of our towns, however, re-
main unprotected. 1t was these that
furnished the fires and the list of
manned and injured which still dis
grace, and d.scredit our intelligence.
For the benefit 0f the residents Of
such communities tho following sug-
gestions are copied from q bulletin is-
sued by the Department In the year
1908.
= Preparatory to the reig--. Il fire,
rubbish in areas Of yards should be
removed or wetted down. Stables. out
houses, packing rooms and cellar w1f.
dows should be tightly closed.
The Less Dangerous Kinds
Red fire does not explode; the pin
wheel is fastened to tree; the Ro
man candle discharged from the curb
stone burns nothing but wrisp.
The dynamite torpedo often used or
street railway tracks is not dangerous
to the occupants of the car but 1t is g
terror to hysterical nerves. In C0lum
bus a boy lost three fingers trying t.
drive nail through one of them.
The small Chinese firecracker
which is used In greater number thar
any other fire work, destroys mos
property and fewest lives. The papel
of the cracker often glows for min
utes after it is exploded, igniting trasl
in which 1t falls. The electric sparkle
is harmless, unless it's wire while still
redhot, is thrown into rubbish. Gardel
pieces and the new cannon string
which contains thousands Of crackers
