were laid to take as many of Dolan's

and thereby disregard the voice of

The Safe and Sane Fourth

Each year since 1909 the Journal
Of the American Medical Association
has been waging propaganda
against the insensate manning and
death-dealing methods of celebrating
our independence holiday. 1t has
gathered and collated the individual
facts; and the lay press maga-
zines and newspapers-has sec
onded its endeavors so that an al
most revolutionary change has been
taking place.
1t is gratifying to observe that
more and more the constituted au-
thorities have recognized that it is
their duty to prevent the burning
and the Gripping of children and
their death from lockiaw by prohib-
iting the sale of fireworks and like
destructive agencies. Official ap-
probation of this fact Is evidenced
by the enactment and enforcement
of appropriate ordinances. Many
officials have in the most salutary
way, co-operated with non-govern-
mental agencies interested in the
safe and sane Fourth. Legislation
against fireworks has been restric-
tive or prohlbitive. The latter, OF
course, gives the best results.
In European countries occasions
akin to our independence Day are
commemorated by means of fetes
and other picturesque ceremonies,
quite adequately, just as heartily
and with as much patriotic fervor
as among US. Continental peoples
have a genius for festivities, nation
al as we'll as all other kinds. For
adult patriotism, oratory may SUI
flce- but this is not satisfying to the
youth of the land. in the legitimate
interests OF boyhood and girlhood,
things equally brilliant and salts
factory must be substituted for the
noise, the flare and the varicolored
fame; and substitutes even more
resplendent have been found in
abundance.
We have now methods by which
the Fourth shall cease to be day
Of terror, and shall become instead
me of happiness. recreation and en-
