INDEPENDENCE DAY

The campaign of the National Fire
Protection Association for rational
celebration of Independence Day be-
gan in May, 1910, when our members
responded promptly and enthusiastical-
ly to the appeal for a combinde at
tack upon the annual orgy of fire and
noise. The effect of the work OF
large and powerful national organiza-
ton working as unit throughout the
nation is registered in the gratifying
statistics shown upon the opposite
page Last year was Americas san
est Fourth, with the lowest record of
casualties made since records were
kept. The figures in detail We're:
Dead, 20, classified as follows: BY
fireworks, 5; cannon, 1; firearms, 6;
gunpowder, 6; toy pistol, /; runaway,
1.
Injured, $50, classiged as follows:
BY fireworks, 1923; cannon, AZ; fire.
arms, "a; gunpowder So; torpedoes,
80; bomb canes, Z; toy pistols, 4S;
runaways, 20.
Fire losses on the Fourth last year,
as compiled by the Chicago Tribune,
were $576,525, which compares with
the daily average, for the first five
months of the year, of $77SS,3S2. Thus
is demonstrated that the Fourth, I'M
der the changed conditions, with ev-
cry one alert in the cause of fire
prevention, can be made a safer day
than any other day in the year, as
regards fire. 1t also proves that fire
prevention really will prevent, and will
reduce the fire losses, when it be-
comes a general and active work
throughout the country, instead of
mere propaganda.
1t is, perhaps, too much to expect
complete return to sanity; but some
effort at least may be made by all
cities and towns toward leading their
people into more moderate and more
intelligent forms of celebratio. If ex-
plosives must be used the authOri-
ties can limit their use to the public,
parks during certain hours of the day,
where the folly-hunters may kill and
MAIN themselves and each other to
hearts content, without injuring 9th
err people, or destroying property by
fire. The firing off of explosives
among the closely built shingle-roof-
ed frame houses, which compose the
greater part of our cities, is wholly
in accord with the reckless spirit of
Americans regarding fire.
If before every Fourth of July all
cities and towns were given a thor
ough cleaning of rubbish, and all
use of explosives then restricted as
to time and place, the police and pub
lie wardens might have at least a
fighting chance to minimize the dis
astrous results of our public folly dur
ing the years it may require to in
spire in our people desire for ra-
tional kind of celebration. And such
desire must be inspired. 1t is the
duty of every city to arrange for its
people suitable amusements of exer-
cises definitely calculated to educate
them in a rational observance of this
] historic holiday. Habits of folly can

JOHN MASON'S SPLENDID
ATTAiNMENTS

Annie Leslie, the noted critic of the
Chicago Daily News, thus expresses
her appreciation of John Mason who
is to appear in this city July 4, in the
Messrs. Shubert's elaborate produc-
ton OF Augustus Thomas great play,
LAS a Man Thinks:
John Mason has been especially SUI
perb in his ninth middle age gentle
man. There is no particular reason
why Mr.. Mason should be relegated
to middle age heroes, for John Mason
can play any kind of part written,
from comic opera idol able to sing
virile baritone beautifully, to gal
lus Irish lover in a sugar loaf hat
and knee breeches. His school is the
wide, penetrating school of the Bos-
ton Museum, where John Mason play
ed everything as it came along to
into the romantic fellows of stardom
That he has accumulated years means
nothing to an actor of Masons ver-
satility and theater education. 1t
must be remembered that Jefferson,
when he was 20 played a drunken
young rowdy and a sapling from up
country who was in the matrimonial
mart and having his first look into
city life.
Mason has cultivated a profound
and weighty manner through a long
series of characters which no other
actor on the stage could quite COM
pass, but they were particularly fitted
to John because of physical rather
than artistic invariableness and voice,
strength and dignity, all of which are
mere side line attributes to an actor
of John Mason's splendid attainments
He seems elaborate and perhaps SUI
periarively techinal, because as many
actors of today walk through emf
nent roles and get away with it, and
the economy of art, rather than it's
brilliant possibilities and spontanity
is the goal of less able players. Ma
sons lover at so is finer, truer, more
poetic romance than young Barry
mores at 80 or Blossoms or Hack
ett's. John Mason is an actor Am
erica might indorse as it's least rec
ognized genius, it's smallest paid cele-
brity, for he is seldom heralded with
slamming drums and blowing horns,
but comes and goes entertainingly,
seldom making any effort to startle
the universe, but bestowing continual
gifts of great pleasure and effective
art upon a public which is casual
instead of hysterical in it's friendli
ness and admiration. 1t is impos
sible to conceive of any other Amer.
lean actor lifting the commonplace
Bernstein, here of "The Attack" above
ordinary Importance as a work of
art. Something the mediocre player
would have floundered in enf swamp
ed the drama in it, lost the romance
and foiled the playwright's excellence.

program of magical stunts is man
who has made for himself throughout
the east an enviable record in this
line OF work. Mr.. Harrell has many
of the old time favorites without which
no magical entertainment would be
considered complete, and will pro-
duce as many flowers from a cor
nucopia as the best of them. He will
transform pocket handkerchiefs into
the American flag, etc. In addition
to these time honored tricks, Mr. Har-
rell has a repertoire of many new and
very startling ones. At one point in
his program he brings before the au-
dience a live bird in steel cage,
both the cage and bird at his myster-
ious demand disappear. This wonder
full man is also adept with handcuffs
and will give some startling work
with manacles of the most approved
pattern.

Alaskan Dog Races Thrillers
Sporting World Knows No More Exciting Events Than Con-
Snow and lev Trails

The difference is so marked that even
between two teams the trail for one
might be decidedly easy while for the
other almost impossible. Now but
l. minutes is allowed to elapse be-
tween starts. Alaska is still talking
of the wonderful final squirt made by
Scotty Allen in the first race, when
the last 30 miles was run in 9 hours
and 30 minutes. Scotty won the race
in 1909 and has since been one of
the factors with whom the winner has
had to figure.
Telephone connections are kept up
between all stations along the course
and the progress of each team is re
ported hourly. The greater part of
four days is consumed in the race.
The fourth day the streets again
swarm with people to watch the fin
ish. One of the rules of the race is
that all the dogs must return. If
one is incapacitated it must be car
red in on the sled and any that per
ish must also he brought in. Thus the
skill of the driver in caring for his
