Health Department Has
Suggestions For A Safe
And Sane 18th of July

The local health department has
suggested few ideas on "The Spirit
of the Fourth" To facilitate an att
tude- of carefulness on independence
Day, The Sentinel prints the follow
ing:
~ Educate your children care
fully in handling fireworks. Do not
let the young ones know anything
about fireworks and have a chance to
get within their reach. For the ones
little older, be their playmate on
the Fourth of July and teach them
from the beginning the right and the
wrong way to set off fireworks. Take
them with you to the fireworks store
so that they will see that safety is
the first consideration in selecting
your purchases. Talk to your older
children before the Fourth of July,
reminding them of the past safety
lessons you have given them and then
give them the independence they de-
serve.
(2) Observe strictly any regula-
tions about the sale or use of fire.
works in towns or cities.
~ Under no circumstances allow
the use of the blank cartridge pistol.
The sale Of this dangerous toy is
prohibited in many places. It is apt to
go off and discharge into the palm
of the hand causing lockjaw to de-
velop. If such wound does occur, the
child should be taken to his physician
Immediately for an injection of
tetanus antitoxin the dosage of which
should be repeated in a week if the
wound does not heal.
~ Forbid the use of "spit-devils"
or "sun-of-a-guns" which are set off
by grinding under the heel of a shoe
on the pavement. While these are not
dangerous when used properly, they
have been known to cause death when
placed in the mouth because of the
yellow phosphorus which they con-
tain.
(5) Emphasize the following
points in the use of fireworks: (a)
The danger of going back to the fire.
cracker and especially to the cannon
cracker to see why it did not go off.
(b) The setting off of fireworks at a
safe distance from the supply box.
(c) Holding things far enough from
the body to avoid risk of igniting the
clothing. (d) Guarding against eye
injuries $3.50 of all eye accidents are
said to be caused by fireworks.
Fireworks are not the only cause
of accidents on the Fourth of July.
Many who do not handle fireworks
become imbued with the spirit of
recklessness and daredevil. It is we'll
to bear in mind that with this spirit
prevailing and with crowded roads,
the danger of other accidents is
greatly increased.

PRICES GOING UP

For sometime merchants have intimated that rise in
the price of various commodities might be expected at an
early date yet the average person has been skepca To-
day the prediction is to be Auto tire prices
have increased from to 10 percent in the past three
weeks; cotton textiles higher than month ago. and
clothing advertising that increase of 40 percent
in wool prices will make the fall garments more ex-
pensve. No disputes the merchant now. The only
question is How high will prices go?" The or woman
who wants to practice economy should longer stop to
wonder about this however The sensible thing to do is to
buy the things you need that you are going to need
in the future and profit by the saving you are sure
make It's the best chance you had in three years
to make money.

Grand Thrills
In Conan Doyle
Mystery Talkie

When Arthur Conan Doyle as a
young medical practitioner, set up
shop after his graduation, he learned
that patients did not flock to the
door OF an unknown physician-and
that he had an unreasonably large
amount Of time on his hands. Hav-
ing flair for writing, Doyle toyed
with the character of Sherlock
Holmes, which before long evolved
as the super sleuth" of fiction. Soon
after, there appeared in the Strand
Magazine an amazing series of esca-
pades known as "The Adventures Of
Sherlock Holmes"
"A Study in Scarlet" was Doyle's
first sensational success with the type
OF fiction In which he has never been
excelled. Translated into many lam
guages and famous throughout the
world, 1t won for It's author immedi-
ate recognition.
It is this thrilling story, narrating
Sherlock Holmes tracking down the
identity and motives Of a group
known as the Scarlet Ring" that is
providing abundant excitement and
entertainment to the patrons Of the
Capitol Theatre, where "A Study in
Scarlet" is now being presented.
In the role of the Shrewd, ana
lytical Holmes who never misses a
trick appears Reginald Owen, the
stage star who is rapidly forging
ahead in Hollywood productions. An
excellent cast has been listed In his
support. June Clyde and John Warbur-
ton enact the leading roles, with WAR
burton Gamble as DR.. Watson; Anna
May Wong as the treacherous, schem-
ing Mrs. Pyke; Allan Dinehart as
Merrydew, the leader of the Scarlet
Ring"

One of the most worthwhile proposals made
during the present legislative session is that Of
the consolidation of county governments. At pres
ent there is some very strong and vituperative
opposition which precludes the possibility of it's
being enacted in it's present form this year or for
several years to come; but there is no doubt that
eventually the idea will become fact.
One OF the points of this program brought out
by it's boosters is the fact that it will bring forth
men of higher ideals who will gladly work gratis
for the cause.
Whether such move will do away with the
professional politician is doubtful. It is sad
commentary on human nature that if a man is
not paid for his work he cOntrives to profit in
other material ways while allowing the outside
world to view him as one who works willingly
from a sense OF public duty. Perhaps the ''profes-
sional potican' who devotes his life to the prob
lens Of government and law-maxing and derives
therefrom his livelihood is the honorable of
the two-though his Eyes man. attitude and gen
eral serviity and petty aspirations have never
recommended him highly
But irregardess of the probable personnel of
such administration, the taxpayer will be hap
pier man. A move of this kind will do much to
cut down the costs incurred by the present de-
centralized governmental agencies. County boun-
DIARIES, like those OF state and nation and CONT
nent have disappeared through the influence of
faster transportation and easier communication
There is no reason why state with popula-
ton of but and one-half million people, should
have thirty-nine secondary divisions and many
more smaller subdivisions, such as municipalities
and special districts. Each of these divisions has
the power of taxation, and in many it is badly
abused. The best way to cut taxes is not by elm
mating or hampering necessary functions of gov
eminent by dlscontlnulng appropriations, but by
consolidating these many subdivisions of govern
ment. In that way many of the extravagant and
unnecessary agencies will be cut out and duplica-
ton OF the more essential functions decreased

Eyes, Virginia, there is Santa Claus. ("

Eyes, Virginia, there is Santa Claus.'
How familiar the reading public is with that
phrase, the first sentence of what is probably the
best-known editorial ever written An editorial
written forty years ago in response to the letter
Of little girl Virginia, who was eight years old
and whose friends had filled her mind with doubts
as to the actuality of Father Christmas.
The editorial writer must have been kindly
man, for he realized fully the pognancy of her
query and instead of tossing it aside and concen-
trating the current political situation, he wrote
the answer to that question which the child had
asked Wrote it with so true philosophy and re-
alization Of the plural worldliness in which we
list, with such gentleness and sincerity that every
year since the New York Sun, forwhich he worked,
has never failed to reprint it at Christmas time.
There is no need for to copy it. You are all
familiar with it. 1t has been in many newspapers,
it has been recited during Christmas programs it
has been read over the radio But we can call to
your mind the spirit with which it is imbued.
This is probably the poorest Christmas this val
ley has ever known. The gifts under the tree on
Monday will probably be smaller and there won't
be as many of them as there were last year the
year before. But they will mean as much; some
will mean more, The son of Mary was not born
that men should celebrate His day with gifts ex-
travagant and beyond their MEANS The three
kings came shyly, hrmbly.
There will be gifts that you didn't get at all.
Friends who had no dollars to spare for material
gift. What of it? The spirit of Christmas, that
much over-worked but never under valued phrase,
dwells as glowingly in them.
