rooms, setting fire to lace curtains and
other furnishings. Sometimes the fires
were attended to Immediately, and in
other cases they smoldered and then
burst into flames hours after. when
most Of the tenants in other apart
ments had retired for the night. You
can appreciate the danger caused by
the careless handling Of such fireworks.
Pinwheels and skyrockets caused a
large number Of fires. particularly the
latter.
I'm some neighborhoods the engines
were on the run from 8 to II p. m.
The majority of the fires were small
affairs. but they had to be attended
to. The men and horses were all in.
but it was wonderful the amount of
endurance and stamina the men and
beasts displayed in sticking to their
work. Toward the latter part OF the
evening the horses had to walk to the
fires. They were too tired to trot.
''The adoption OF the safe and sane
Fourth has caused many persons to
dispense with the use of firecrackers
and fireworks They believe I'm cele-
brating the day in pursuits less dam
gerous. but furnishing more amuse-
ment. You can bet the members OF
the fire department are glad that the
people are using fewer fireworks"

The peak of Mount Pisgah, having

scene of beautiful illumination. Pine

An artificial. earthquake, caused by

There is so much reverence for the

ton in as good condition as possible
is its home. The guardianship OF the
revered document is intrusted to an
official Of the department.
The parchment with the original sig
natures was deposited with the depart
ment of state when the government
was organized in 1889. In 1923 John
Quincy Adams had copperplate fac
smile made to give copies to the sign
ers and their heirs. The original was
injured in this way. the wet sheet
pressed on the face drawing out the
ink SO that the names of the signers
have become illegible and the text par

kept sealed up in steel case. and the
greatest care has been taken to pre-
vent its coming to any harm.

JULY 4 NAvY'S BIG DAY.

Officials and Officers Cooperate to
Give Sailors Fine Holiday.
Uncle Sam makes the Fourth of July
q greater day among his sailors than
even Christmas. Indeed, it is the
greatest day of relaxation and pleasure
for jackie in the whole year. The
early secretaries of the navy. establish
ed the custom. and it has been al
most religiously maintained inviolate
through the long line Of officials who
have succeeded the pioneers of our sea
forces.
Independence day belongs to the blue
jacket. His superiors recognize that
his life is in some respects hard one.
To him are denied the ties of family. the
friendships and all the other interests
and diversions of life that make up
the landsman's existence. For this
reason Uncle Sam believes that his
sailors should have as many holidays
as possible.
To make Independence day the big
gest Of them all is to give the day a
special significance which cannot but,
to some degree at least. carry its les
son of patriotic duty to those who
serve the republic on the seas.
Hence admirals and captains always
plan to remain In port on July 4. Then.
after dressing ship, firing the national
salute and brief patriotic services, the
day is given to the men to enjoy as
they see fit.
The sports that attend the sailors
Fourth Of July are of varied charac-
ter. Our naval service has, Of course.
become affected to considerable ex-
tent by the great outdoor movement
that has converted Independence day
into one Of the greatest sporting car
nivals of the year.
The navy department has wisely en-
couraged this tendency, and wherever
an open field is available the piece de
resistance is a baseball game some
times between rival mines picked from
members of the same ship, oftener be-
tween teams representing different
ships and in some extreme cases be-
tween mines from separate squadrons
that happen to be In rendezvous near
each other.
Then there are track and field events
The feet footed wearers Of the blue
show how fast they can sprint. Now.
Just what good this does them In their
development as fighters is not clear,
for even II they had the instinct to dee
and could get over ground faster than
a Duffey it would do them no good at
the moment when the PROV OF the ship
was heading for moist trip to Davy
Jones' locker. However. they run and
throw weights and hammers. jump and
pole vault.
If no athletic field is available then
the rivalry must be confined to aquatic
events-swimming and rowing races.
In the rare Instances where 1t is not
possible to get ashore or the water
conditions preclude rowing or swim
ming the bluejackets test their PROV
ess at boxing. wrestling. fencing.
dancing and singing.
Then the ships larder is drawn on
for such extra delicacies as transform
the regular meal into banquet. and
Mr.. Sailor crawls into his hammock
with the comfortable feeling that the
Fourth of July is a pretty big day.
after all, and that he is glad to be able
to pass 1t In Uncle Sans service.
