AFRAID Wien the older boy pointed the
gun at nm in spirit OF fun. He
ran shrieking for his molher. AT that
moment the older, boy pulled the
trigger. Today there is broken
& hearted mother and a lonely home.
< She never again will know Merry
4 Christnias. The other family have
their son. They are so sorry Jacks
little gun went off and killed the
poor little fellow. OF course they
are horrified that anyone should
blame their boy, who is "only u
child But how about the father and
i mother who were not children who
dared to put the toy into their boys
hands, which cost another woman
her only child? Uncle Sam is right.
No dagger toy should be permitted
to be. sold, for accidents will happen,
as long as pa ents are so criminally
careless.
