gospel. Some cities have gone so far as to pro-
hibt absolutely the sale of frecrackers and fire
works, while others merely limit frecrackers to
length Of three inches with view to eliminating
the deadly cannon cracker" All the more
progressive municipalities have put ban on the
toy pistols and the miniature torpedoes, which
in years gone by have probably caused more
deaths than any other similar destructive agent,
particularly among the younger children. In our
up-to-date cities it has been necessary for some
years past for retail merchant to obtain
license police permit to store and sell fire.

the authorities to put snuffer on the business
by refusing to issue such permits. ,.
The accepted plan of providing a safe and sane
celebration as substitute for the oldtme noisy
freefor-all jollifcation is to place the matter in
the hands of committee of prominent citizens.
which raises by subscription a fund of several
hundred or several thousand dollars to defray
the expenses of the common celebration, just as
money is raised for street fair. The popular
idea is to centralize the new-fangled Fourth of
July celebration. In some places this is done
literally by holding all the events of the day at
some centraly-located rendezvous such as pub
lie square, fair ground or park In other
instances there are three or four, or maybe half
a dozen. "centers' Of celebration located in as
many different sections Of the city and designed
to give the residents of each district lively
Fourth without necessitating journey far from
home
Two main aims are constantly kept in mind by
wideawake committeeman who plan Fourth of
July frolic in accordance with the safe and sane
ideals of the twentieth century. One of these
ambitions Is to have something doing" every
minute of the day so that no critic can say that
things are less lively in the old town than in the
days when every citizen could make his own
celebration in his own front yard The other pur-
pose is to arrange features that will enlist the
cooperation Of the greatest possible number Of
children that the little folks will not feel that
they are being cheated out of their Fourth Of
July fun and made to merely serve as spectators
for the performances Of the grown-ups
This latter consideration explains why It is that
the average safe and sane Fourth includes one
or more open-air plays spectacles or drills in
which hundreds Of school children and even kim
dergartners take part, appropriately dressed in
red, white and blue and carrying flags or other
suitable emblems of the occasion. These OPEN
air fetes are not wholly restricted to the young
er members of the community, though Pageantry
has been growing rapidly In popular favor In this
country Of recent years-following its vogue in
England and elsewhere abroad-and Of course
the Fourth of July makes an ideal occasion for
such portrayal. particularly It deals with

cede that the plan took shape spontaneously and
simultaneously in several different localities
such communities as Cleveland and Washington,
D. c.. being among the first of the larger cities
to put the plan in practice comprehensive

city involved
The incentative for this safe and sane move
ment was found, Of course, in the appalling loss

In the old:fashoned way. Perhaps there were
Just as many accidents proportionately In con-
nection with Independence Day celebrations in
the days OF our grandfathers as there were just
prior to this crusade, but then again there may
not have been, for the toy pistol makers and
nrecracker manufacturers were busy in later
years devising Improvements" in the noisemak-
Ing line that seemed to prove fruitful of mishaps
when in the hands Of irresponsible youngsters.
Or even II, as opponents of the safe and sane
Fourth have claimed. the proportion of acci-
dents did not show an increase the growth in the
population OF the country served to roll UP a
total so much more appalling in sheer force of

the subject Then, too, the perfection of present.

slble for the newspapers to give complete
chronicle OF the havoc of the od-fashioned
Fourth the morning following the day we
celebrate and this has served to bring home the
matter to many people who never suffered from
Fourth of July accident In their own Immediate
family and circle of friends -.
When the statistics began to show, a few wears
back that the American people were expressing
their patriotism on the Fourth in manner that
each year cost the lives of several dozen persons
and injured, more or less seriously, several thou
sand others, there was countrywide protest
that swelled in volume. Not Of course without
some opposition, the idea has spread and its ex-
tent may be surmised from the statement that
the recent failure Of one OF the largest fireworks
manufacturers in the country was said to be due
solely TO this new order of things, whereas other
importers and manufacturers of frecrackers and
fireworks have loudly lamented that their bust

more or less degree, Is encountered in eyery DIFF

basic principle is not. however, as some people
suppose, the abolition Of all noise and fireworks
on the Fourth. On the contrary, the advocates
OF the safe and sane program favor waving flags

our childhood. but they take the stand that these
