APPROACHING ROURTH
Midsummer Holiday VIII Be Observed
Upon the Safe and Sane Princi-
pies of Past Years

Many Alexandrians are already
blaming private excursions for the
Fourth Of July. In these days Of au-
'tomobiles and motor boats the num-
or of picnic parties on Independence
are increasing yearly. Of course
these private outings will not ma
ierially reduce the number of public
excursions both by boats and trains.
Mayor Fisher will issue orders to
the police department similar to those
undcr which they have worked dur
ing the past years. The use of en-
plosives will be prohibited, as they
have been in the past, in accordance
With state and city laws upon the
subject. The people are gradually
Gaming themselves from the use of
.;uc.. auXiliaries on the Fourth of
July, and find more pacific means of
celebrating the anniversary Of the
birth of our great republic. The law
.'orbidding the sale of explosives will
lie enforced, and the members of the
police will have apprised all Of the
of violating the laws
before the dawn Of the midsummer
holiday.
