THE TOLL OF THE FOURTH
lDllllifh HAfaldl

The Fourth Of July continues to take its toll Of
American lives.
Only the method of tragedy has changed, not its
deadness.
The old-fashoned Fourth killed many through ex-
plosives Of one kind another and in way an
other
Yesterdays accidental deaths include few from this
source, but they include from drowning, which
is part OF the oldfashoned story and from auto
mobile and airpane accidents which part Of the
new-fashioned story.
Aghast at the mounting horror of Fourth Of July
disaster this country denaured the Fourth by largely
abolishing its explosive features.
But while these features are gone and their trag-
edies with them, which is good, the tragedies keep
on even though new methods have to be discovered
to do the killing.
Perhaps if we tried being careful could achieve
more than we by substituting set Of pers for

of these cousins rather painfully
from my hildhood-women who al
ways sat around and waited for
someone else to start something.
Should they ever come to visit
me of their own accord-that's a
different matter. I'll do right by
them. But I'm not a philanthropist,
spreading JOY and sunshine. I'm a
selfish. modern woman, who is going
to escape everything unpleasant
every time she gets a chance.
Anyhow, life is quite exciting
