ADVANCE TOWARD The SANE

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion there appears an article show
ing the progress that has been made
toward bringing to pass a sane Fourth
Of July. Following is an extract:
The crusade for an approach 10
sanity in our national patriotic cele-
bration has made real progress. There
were only eighteen cases of lock-
jaw resulting from fireworks last
year. fifty-four fewer than in 1910.
OF these only ten died. thanks 10
the tetanus antitoxin. Forty-seven per-
sons were killed outright by explo-
sives. making fifty-seyen deaths in
all. as against l31 in 1910, and 2l5 In
1909. Among the victims last year
were twelve little girls who were
burned TO death by fire from fire
works. Only 1863 blank cartridge
wounds in 1911, while 4l0 were report
ed in 1910. and injuries from these
noise-makers cause more than four
fifths of the cases OF lockjaw.
