Some OF the local club women, who

are wondering what definition Of safe

second general assembly used. The
law regulating the sale of fireworks
passed by the thirty-second general
assembly is the nearest approach to a
sane Fourth law that can be reached,
according to the city officials here.
This law prohibits the selling or
keeping for sale, flrecrackers over five
inches IN length, the selling and keep
Ing for sale Of toy pistols, caps and
blank cartridges. The dischaTging OF
blank cartridges and caps is covered
by city and state laws. But this
seems to be as far as the lawmakers
went.
Local officials said that they have
only this law to go by. The law does
not seem to cover fireworks Of vario is
descriptions which are usually sold to
gladden. the patriotic hearts OF the
youth of the land.
The toy pistol, which Is one OF the
instruments prohibited in the statute,
seems to have blossomed forth again
this year in considerable profusion.
Although the Fourth Is little over a
week distant, there seems to be plenty
OF noise at intervals. A lot Of the
youngsters believe in doing thir cele-
brating early.
