BIG THINGS PREDICTED
FOR MARYLAND CITY
New Cuban ceasul Says Baltimore VIII
Be One Of Most Important
Atlantic Porn.

Senior Cesar A. Barranco. the former
assistant consul OF Cuba In Washington.
who was Unexpectedly appointed council
for Cuba at Baltimore by President
Menocal. yesterday oficially announced
his plans while in that Important. office
He intends to improve and further the
trade between Baltimore and Cuba by
keeping nearer the business men and
other adventurous means. In 1t he also
predicts great commercial future for
Baltimore.
Speaking of his new position. Consul
Barranco said:
1T will be my aim to keep in close
touch with the business people of your
city; to give them all the aid and in
formation which might be desired from
time to time. and to make known to
them the excellent business opportunities
that my country offers to them with her
immense natural resources. her econom-
ical greatness. backed up by a very or
derby and staple government.
Baltimore Is certain to become one
Of the most important ports of the At
lantic Ocean when the Panama Canal is
opened, and / look for an enormous in
crease in her trade with Cuba.
After seven years of a very agreeable
stay in Washington, I look forward with
much pleasure to making my new resi-
dence in your city and anticipate a
pleasant sojourn among the very kind
and hospitable people Of the city OF
Baltimore and the State of Maryland
In the past the consuls have been
greatly handicapped in their efforts to
improve the Cuban trade because OF
their slight knowledge of our language

worry along. crippled and almost use
less.
Apropos of noise, they and the desire
to suppress them stand back Of the re-
form. which is making steady strides
all over the country.
1t was Mrs Isaac L. Rice, Of New
York, president of the Society for the
Suppression of Unnecessary Noises. who
took the first step to lessen some Of the
horrid din that made the Fourth a day
of burden to patients in hospitals SUI
fering the sore stress of pain and keenly
sensitive to every noise. The movement
soon grew into something more than Q
campaign against needless noises. for.
with thoughts of lessening the din that
lasted from dawn until midnight. Sc
rious folk turned their attention to the
awful slaughter upon the altar of .'cele-
bration."
And year after year thereafter the &C.
cidents have grown beautifully less.
Pageantry, games, dancing, and Q gen.
eral demonstration under the watchful
eye-these are all very delightful; but,
perhaps. many of the little and big folk
will enjoy it most IL part of the day. at
least, they pack themselves and their
jolly little lunches OF to the woods
where the only sounds they will hear
will be the echoes of their own merry
making and the soft, unfamiliar sounds
of the regular little tenants there.
Not exactly the traditional way to
celebrate, or even a faint reflection, but
a restful sort OF manner to let the Fourth
go by. And, after all, half the meaning
of our holidays is to invite a bit OF
change. simply or more riotously. as
temperament or resources suggest

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

Now that the old-time Fourth is
gradually stepping into the shadows OF
the past, we find ourselves wondering
why and how it lasted so long, and We
are thankful indeed that at last a softer.
pleasanter light has sifted through the
smoke and din and awful destruction OF
other years. -.-.
Then it was taken for granted that the
boy and the girl loved noise and high
and mighty explosives. and fools who
ventured to say that the price was too
high were counted nervous, fearsome,
fussy ''old fogies.'' who know nothing at
all of the deep child-heart and the at
fractions that pleased the most.
BUT the many Fourths that have come
and gone since the first great day of
independence have taught some sorry
lessons, and We are the gamers now
Those who are strong and well and
whose nerves are fairly steady cannot
guess what the long day has meant to
the ill upon whom every sound falls like
a throb of pain. 1t is only one day in
the year, and the kiddies and their
grown-up companions must be given a
chance to make known their patriotism,
but II has been pretty hard on the SICK
in homes and in hospitals, how hard
one cannot tell until one has seen the
havoc that noise can work upon worn
out nerves.
And the kiddies themselves-they will
like the new way better when they have
quite outgrown their fondness for the
gunpowder carnival and they will out
grow it by and by.
We speak of the old Fourth and of the
cracking and suffering crackers and
cannons almost as if they were things
of the past, along with the little toy
soldiers who, by some fatal mishap, were
all of a sudden transformed into pltifui
little cripples, or maybe worse
And we do not listen so intently for
the warning call of fire bells or the dread
clang of the ambulance, grimly telling
of the awful folly of placing the mimic
weapons of real warfare into baby
hands.
But we p1ust not forget that, though
the victory of common sense is growing
more pronounced year by year and the
fatalities are steadily falling away, there
are some revealing figures quoted to show
that the Glorious Fourth is still taking
Its heavy child toll. And so long as that
continues there is need for the warning
sermon against the firecracker and its
near of kin.
Last year. with the safe and sane
Fourth well under way, the casualties
attendant upon the old-time celebration
still mounted up, in killed and injured,
to the dismaying figures of 9SS-all little
folks. up almost at the break of day, for
enc long round of pleasure. brought low
by the costly playthings. And the
strange part of it is that the fondness
for the destructive powder was inspired,
not by the girls and boys themselves. but
by the grown-ups, who can thank them
selves for the tumultuous day and its
aftermath.
But decade or so ago when the yearly
stories of the wreckage were flashed over
the wires they told of many merry, active

Dear Young Folks: hope that Some
of you will be interested to make Q toy
automobile lady after the fashion Of the
one pictured above. She Is in reality a
clothespin lady, although you might not
suspect IL, unless you peered closely un-
der her big bonnet, or behind her big
goggles Before you start to dress her,
the features should be drawn out on the
clothespin head. This can be done with
an ordinary pen and ink. If you wish to
make her a jolly automobile lady give a
little upward twirl to the corners Of her
mouth when you mark II out. She will
then look as II she were smiling. II You
wish to make her look solemn-faced
bend the corners downward.
After you have marked the features,
stick two pieces Of thick paper to the
sides to form the arms. Build UP a body
out Of another piece Of heavy paper.
pasting II against the front and back
and leaving 1t a little loose at the sides,
making a sort of fattened cylinder. Over
this cylinder you can put faEcy little
clothes of tissue paper or cloth. Be sure
to get her hood tied tight under ner chin,
SO that the dear creature may be we'll
protected from dust
Whatever you do don't forget the
lady's goggles. You can cut these from
black pasteboard and stick them to her
ears She wouldn't be a really truly
automobile lady unless she wore cog
giles
Sometime I will show you how to make
quaint little historic figures from clothes
pins such as George Washington. John
Alden. Martha Washington, and Paul
Revere.
