FIREWORKS LIGHT HEAVENS
AT THE END OF GALA DAY

For the gallant Knights who devoted
yesterday to celebration OF their patron,
the discoverer Of America, the people Of
Washington last night made the skies
glow and sparkle and glitter as brill
liantly as ever they shone for the cele-
bration Of the Fourth Of July, birthday
Of the greatest nation in the world
From the opening salute of lyddite
shells athS:3O o'clock until Christopher
Columbus himself had smiled in sparkling
fire upon his Knights, and the Santa
Maria, his flagship. sailed on and .on in
a sea Of flame, while thunders rent the
air and new suns and stars and meteors
flashed across the heaven, the upper air
was a mass Of ever-changing, many-hued
color.
The set piece showing a portrait OF
Columbus, brought most applause from
those Of the tremendous crowd who were
close enough to the fireworks to see the
details OF the show. To the mass of Dis
rict citizens who marched gayIy forth
into the cool June night, as TO a Fourth
Of July celebration, there were added the
thousands and thousands of men and wo-
men who had come here for the Co.
lumbus ceremonies. The crowd was
thickly packed about the Treasury.
White House, and State, War and Navy
Buildings, and filled the White Lot and
Monument Grounds.
Hardly tenth OF the crowd could see
the wonders Of the set pieces
Those who recognized Columbus and
his ship, however, let out a mighty shout.
which was taken up by those afar on,
for there was always enough dazzling
splendor way up where everybody could
see to justify applause.
Wonderful waves of ruby, emerald. red.
white, blue, gold, and silver and purple
fioated through the sky. Plumes, flow
ers, banners and pennants. touched with
gems, stood bravely against the. far on
blue A Niagara cataract roared its
splendid way, flashing silver foam and
spray, through the air. and vanished in
a field Of shimmering clouds, through
which flashed lightnings Of green and
orange and lavendar.
An octopus reached out his horrid ten
tacles Of golden flame through sea-green
billOws: firefiies fitted among the paling
planets; a monster spider spun his web
from star to star; bees swarmed among
the blossoms Of an aerial orchard; pop
pies bloomed riotously, geraniums, pan
sizes, daisies, heliotrope sprang from moth
ing and bloomed as under magic touch.
When the fireworks had been SET on,
Pennsylvania Avenue was Illuminated
and the thousands of people walked or
motored gayly up and down between the
glartng links, cheering, laughing, chat
tering. 1t was a tremendous crowd and
good-natured, and the night celebration
was very fitting ending Of the day.

Even in those happy days when
men and women were admittedly in

themselves at the polls, there was, OF
course great deal of talk about the
farmer, who was then the backbone
and sinew of the country. Later the
discussion centered on the ultimate

way to the ultimate consumer in the
benevolent interest of the politicians.
Now, however, both the farmer and
