WASHINGTON, June 29.-Doc-
tors, nurses, hospitals and diSpen-
saries throughout the country are
preparing for the usual rush Of
Fourth Of July accident cases. At
this season of the year the death
and sickness rate is generally at its
lowest, but the celebrations on In
dependence Day will bring the num-
Der of patients far up.
Many casualties already have been
reported. The total number will not
be known until some days after the
Fourth, for lockjaw, which takes a
big toll each year, does not develop
under twenty-four hours and may
not develop before several days.
In the last few years an enor-
nous increase in the number of
motor accidents is shown after each
holiday, particularly this midSum-
mer one, when a reckless spirit of
celebration is added to the presence
on the roads Of large numbers of
inexperienced drivers.
Accidental drownings are another
of the Fourth of July perils. IN
protected bathing beaches are a
source of danger; so are boats, I'M
less handled by experienced persons.
