TRODICK urges
CAREWTHFlRE
ON FOURTH
Calls Particular Attention to
Danger in Use of
"Sparkler''.

Urging the observance in Grea
Falls of a safe and and sane. Fourtl
of July, which he says is only possible
through the absolute prohibition o
all kinds of fireworks. Fire Chief A. J
Trodick Friday issued a Statement
calling attention to the property ant
life loss that usually follows in thu
wake Of old type of celebration. The
chief called particular attention to thu
danger in the apparently harmless.
"sparkler."
Only last year." Chief Trodick said,
"sp4rks from fireworks caused the
death Of two and a property loss OF
$125, 900 at a hotel on Long Island
a s~ky-rocket destroyed a manufacturing
plant in Pennsylvania, with q loss OF
100000. These are typical of hun
dreds of instances. Death and injury
and fire loss from this cause are so
totally Unnecessary and can be so
easily eliminated that they are doubly
d%eplorable.
Costly Celebrations
"Since the passage of the Declare
ton of Independence there have been
more casualties due to celebrating
that historic event than there were on
the American side during the war that
made the document effective, and more
money has gone up in smoke from
fires set by celebrators than was ap-
propriated by the Continental congress
II want to call particular attention
to the so-called electric sparkler which
is alleged to be harmless. People do
not realize that, while the sparks them
selves do not ignite, a genuine danger
turks in the glowing core. Last year
serious cases of burning were reported
by the score. while in New York. Chi
cago and Trenton deaths occurred from
'sparklers. In the last ID years, ac-
cording to an official report. 80 chill
dren were burned to death by spark
lers' in the city of Philadelphia alone.
Wants FireIess Fourth
Il learn from the national board Of
fire underwriters that the argument
was presented last year in defense Of
these dangerous playthings, that there
were only three children killed against
15,OOOyOOO packages of sparklers sold,
which was referred to as a good per-
centage. Let me quote the reply of
one of the country's fire marshals.
This official said: "A good percentage.
indeed. To whom? Parents of dead
children? If these things had brought
death to but one child. that in itself.
would be sufficient to damn sparklers
forever Is there a father or mother
in Great Falls who doesn't agree with
that verdict?
1T seems to me-" CONCLUDED the
chief. that it would be an appropriate
way of demonstrating our patriotism
and appreciation Of what the Declare
ton of Independence has meant for us
by seeing how much Of the life and
wealth of the nation we car conserve.
We've made a start in recent years.
Let's see If we can't improve upon it
and have q fireless Fourth"

door to the interest of science in an effort
to separate them and save the life of one

opened the door TO legal complications

settling this legal question, there are very
convincing facts In regard to the physical
peculiarities OF the twins which seem to
be about evenly divided In favor OF the
contention that the two were really one,
and the contrary contention that the two
we're quite distinct individuals, except for
the bony ridge and other physical pec\l-
liarities which they shared In common.
The attorneys who will insist that the
girls were separate individuals will rely
largely upon the claim that personality

abundant evidence that in those two heads
there were separate individuality of taste
and temperament.
