The Fourth of July Is not quite as
noisy as it used to be, due to the
safe and sane campaigns which have
been waged. Where hundreds Of peo-
pie shot firecrackers ten years ago,
and fingers burned and hands shot
off occupied prominent places in the
headlines the next day, Fourth of
July oratory now has it's place.
And the shop windows that used to
have such an endless display of them
in their windows, days before the
Fourth-they are among the missing
also. Sparklers, pin wheels, roman
candles, skyrockets, torpedoes and
fire balloons few years ago were
exhibited in the shop windows to the
exclusion of all other commodities
for sale, and they would send more
thrills through the heart Of a twelve
year-old boy in a minute than the
finest sort of the present day minia-
ture derricks and baby oil wells
with get-rich-quick'' notices written
above them thrill the checked suited
and green necktied Spectator.
In spite of the city ordinance for
bidding fireworks before the Fourth,
in the good old days, there were plen-
ty of them, and loud reports of fire
crackers were heard in all parts of
the town, and children were warned
by their parents mot to shoot them
all now; save some for the Fourth" "
And when the big day finally arrived
well, everyone knew about it in
the wee small hours of the morning.
and woe to the man who had decided
tho nipht before that he WAS going
to sleep late the next morning, for it
couldn't be done, unless he was &C
customed to flying shells and can

The night Of the Fourth was the
best time; for it was then that the
fireworks came on for display. Fami-
