 Tn the cold aftermath of the an- nual patriotic orgy, one can take a calmer view of things-among them fireworks-than during the excited days preceding the big i event.
 No use beginning Q campaign in June to put an end to July Fourth celebrations. It is always too late. No use telling Johnny or his dad to keep away from the circus after the calliope has started to toot It is the same thing with l fireworks after they are on the stands. If we want to change the | character of next Fourth in the year 1895, the time to begin is now. Deaths and accidents in 1894 were double those of 1888, and four times what they were in 1882.
 Some Extra Dangerous
 There seems to be something wrong here. Just what, 1t is hard to say, but one thing I have ob- served myself. The innocent looking shooting" cracker. as 1t used to be called, is no longer pre- dictable. Instead of containing a bit of gunpowder, some of the smallest seem to be loaded with TINT or at least dynamite. 5@ One instance I believe is worth quoting. A young mother bought a few innocent-looking gadgets out of box on a store counter that reminded her of the o1d-fash- toned torpedoes. You remember little paper bags the size of a hickory nut, filled with pebbles and a cap. They were practically harmless.
 Something the same" said the man, "only you light them at the top instead" There is no doubt that he didn't know what he was selling. @
 Need Selling Restrictions
 She put one in the end of the sand-box and lit it, then turned to she did. It blew the end off the box, a hole in the bottom and shot the sand across the yard.
 My criticism is not with fire works, but the kind made and sold to children that contain death and injury in their murderous jackets. If adults want to set them off, they at least know they are fooling with danger. Where are inspectors of fireworks? Where are labels that give the true character of con- tents? Where are the laws that prohibit promiscuous selling to children?
 As for inspection, it begins with the making. Fireworks are dam gerous, but defective fireworks are worse. One time set off two large pinwheels. The third I lighted in the same way. It blew up in my face with a terrible explosion, and what saved my eyes. goodness only knows. was quite black, and badly burned.
 Next year will the casualty list be doubled again? Certainly so unless restraint is used. Our leth- argy toward fireworks has assumed the proportions of crime.

TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
 Well, we're on our way! And what time we had getting off this morning! Having little to do in the way of packing, was round at the Johnson home bright and early, to find MT Johnson and Bill struggling with large trunk whicn they were roping on to the back of the car. roo bad we're not going to a nudist colony!" 1 heard Bill eXclaim as 1 drove up. DO you mean to say that trunk $ full of clothes?" 1 asked in sur prise. Tt certainly is," Mrs John son popped her head unexpectedly out of the rear window, and x you ever want to reduce, Doctor, try washing, Ironing and packing clothes for seven people for, Il month." "Stilh if that's all you've got to tage along" l began. All" eXclaimed Mrs Johnson. And truly, when 1 saw the stream of battered suitcases, fishing fear, tennis racquets, flash lights, lunch baskets, thermos bottles, pillows and camp blankets began tu wonder whether there would be any room left for the family. For- tunately, however, there was plenty of extra space in my car, so We got everything slowed away. At the last minute Mary appeared with a half dry bathing suit Mnicn had been left on the clothes line, but we found corner for it. Claire had to run next door to say goodbye to her precious cat, which was being left in charge ot the old ladies. (The Johnsons of course would never dream of, leav- ing a pet uncared for while they went on vacation). And Baby John refused to be parted from his red wagon, so Bill good naturedly tied 1t on my running hoard. since theirs were both occupied. Bill. by the way. is an expert at loading car so that it rides and steers evenly. This adds to both comfort and safety.

all tired out and excited. This meant stopping at an overnight tourist camp. Since the road was new to all of us, we did not know which of the camps along the way were dependable. Soon after our picnic lunch this noon, therefore, we began to investigate each camp we passed, and about o'clock We found one that satisfied all our requirements. l am writing these notes in my cabin while the others are settling down for the night.
 This camp. is far enough back from the highway to be free of dust and noise. It has clean, roomy cabins with screened windows. The folding, army cot may not be as comfortable as my own bed, but prefer it to a much-used mat tress. We have our own pillows and blankets, so we don't have tu depend on those provided by the camp owners. though judging from the rest of the equipment think they would probably be quite clean. The water supply here is certified by the state authorities as safe, and the sanitary arrange ments are excellent, so we need not be afraid of intestinal diseases. Every one of us has been inocn- lated against typhoid fever, so we don't need to fear that summer menace. The camp furnishes milk, bread, butter, eggs and fruit, to- gether with an outdoor fireplace, so Mrs Johnson was able to feed her hungry brood. I noticed that she boiled the> milk before serving it, and she told me after supper that she did so because it came from a local farm and was noi pasteurized. She also washed the fruit thoroughly in running water. After supper we were too tired to do much visiting with the other campers, though Claire and Robert hated to go to bed when there was so much to see. Two year old John fell asleep over his supper, so he was no trouble!
 We plan to have. a good breakfast here before starting off tomorrow morning. Barring mishaps we should reach the lake and our

with the crowd. A free show, ball
games, races, and various other en-
tertainment was enjoyed during the
day. Three bands furnished music,

AUGUST CATTLE
SLAUGHTER HIGH
Hog Market Light and is Thought to

gust UpSwing.

Cattle slaughter in the United
States during the month of August
hit a new record, while hog slaughter
was light. Yet pork prices have
dropped rather sharply recently and
beef prices have advanced" says the
weekly market bulletin issued by the
Central Cooperative Association of
South st. Paul.
Recent declines in hog prices are
felt to be a natural reaction after
such an abnormal upward swing in
prices during August. Also. the much
publicized advance in pork prices APP
parently caused consumers to veer
from pork and order more beef and
other meats. At any rate, while pork
has declined, other meats have found
stronger demand.
Cattle slaughter in the United
States during the past month
amounted to 1,576,2O4 head, that figure
including over half million drouth
cattle. Even excluding the drouth
cattle slaughter, August kill for the
United States was among the largest
on record for that month.
Hog slaghter, on the other hand,
dropped to 2,641.1S7 head compared
with 3,476,715 head in August last
year. Total calf slaughter. mot in
Guiding those from drouth relief

gust and total sheep and lamb slaugh-
ter at 1,523,32S head also was about
normal for the past several years.

power, than he is today. Even a MAJ
list dictator cannot play with the
church as though it were mere toy.
Peace Efforts Ended.
BY the grace of the great powers
peace prevails throughout the greater
part of mans world. But the Gran
Chaco war between Paraguay and
Bolivia runs on forever-like the lit
tie brook of some forgotten nursery
rhyme. Only. that war is not nur-
sery tale. 1t is a matter of life and
death to thousands of people.
Many efforts have been made to
compose the differences between the
two belligerent nations, and they have
all come to naught. A short time
ago it was reported that the articles
of a proposed armistice we're held at
Buenos Aires, ready for the signatures
of Paraguayan and Bolivian states
men. This was hailed as a great tri-
umph for the diplomacy of Argentina,
the United States and Brazil.
But few days ago the Argentine
government announced that it was
sick and tired" of the whole bust
ness-would, in fact, have nothing
more to do with it. The United States
and Brazil did not share the views
of the Argentine republic, feeling that
an American war should be settled
by American mediation. The Gran
Chaco war, however, goes on.
Meanwhile, the governments Of
Great Britain and France are inter-
esting themselves in the conflict, and
rumors of their joint mediation eff
forts are now heard. Also, within the
League of Nations Louis Barthou, for
eign minister of France, has sounded
a warning: The prestige of the
League will be utterly destroyed he
cried if nothing is done, and done
soon, to end a war which. by the
League ITSELF has been stigmatized
as one of the most sanguinary OF
record in modern times.
HOwever-the war goes on.
Incipient Revolt.
During the last few days rumors
have been heard from Madrid of an
incipient revolt; a conspiracy OF
some vague sort was said to have
planned a violent change of govern
ment, and it was added that the ex-
lied Leon Trotzky, one of the found
ers of the Russian Soviet government,
had been very active in instigating
the project. The Spanish authorities
acted, however, with speed and eff
ficiency and nipped the whole thing
in the process of budding-and as yet
there is no evidence in the world
press to the effect that TrotzkE ac-
tually was mixed up in the affair. In
fact, the whole story sounds, in view
of it's actual developments, like
chapter of the we'll known story OF
supposed red" revolutionary at
tempts, and one does suspect an ele-
ment Of propaganda in it. Peace,
however, reigneth in Spain.

IRON PAVEMENT
BEING LAID AT u

Minnesota is the first place in this
undertaken with new type of road
surfacing that has recently begun to
win popularity in England, France
and Germany, according to a Univer-
sity bulletin. This is a pavement
made of cast iron blocks, laid on a
Minnesota an experimental thirty-foot
stretch of this pavement is being put
down on one of the campus streets
that had to be re-surfaced.
E. w. Davis, director of the Mines
Experiment Station has strongly rec
commended the new pavement after a
careful study of it's use abroad. In
England and France the castiron
blocks are being used chiefly at
points subjected to the heaviest traf-
fic. One of the longest stretches now
surfaced with iron is the Mersey tun-
mel at Liverpool, which is over two
miles in length.
Mr.. Davis has pointed out that If
the iron pavement comes into use it
will give big boost to Minnesota's
important mining industry and may
also lead to the establishment of
smelters in the state. At present
Minnesota gets little industrial bene-
fit from its iron. apart from the min
ing operations, as most of it is shipped
to lower lake points for manufacture.
Cost of the new pavement is some
thing like fifty cents square yard
greater than that of the better pave
ments now in use, but its wearing
qualities are almost infinitely greater
Castiron pavement, Davis says, is not
subject to rust nor to pavement boils,
outwears even granite blocks, and is
skidproof. A raised surface design
adds greatly to the safety of this type
of surfacing.

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page ~


for quite some time kept several army
divisions in close proximity to the
borderline between Siberia and Man
chukuo Japanese-controlled empire"
on conquered Manchurian territory
and now Japan has sent note to
be removed, on the ground that they
are a source of irritation. Russia, it
seems, is willing to be accommodating.
But Russia likes to receive an ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that IS military
planes were sent from Japan to Man.
chukuo a few days ago. The official
Japanese version is that they are
to convey the congratulations of the
government at Tokyo to the man who
was crowned emperor" of Manchu-
kuo-and that would sound plausible
enough were it not for the fact that
this coronation" took place more
than half a year ago! In view of the
reported successful outcome of the
railway negotiations it may be safe
to assume that Japan will very soon
make it clear that the sending of the
airplanes was not meant as hostile
gesture against Russia.
Church Conflict.
AS already reported, Russia has be-
come a member of the League of Ma
tions, and the Leader of the German
nation, Adolf Hitler, has treasured the
corps diplomatique in Berlin that his
one aim is the preservation of peace
in Europe; this was echoed the other
day by his foreign minister, Baron
Constantin Won Neurath who adj
dressed an international road con-
gress for the principal purpose Of
saying that Germany has no imperial
istic designs of any kind.
But while, ostensibly, Hitler is
working for international peace, there
is plenty of strife within the borders
of Germany itself, and that is espe-
cially true of the church. Hitler
and his supreme bishop, Reichsbischof
Ludwig Mueller, are attempting to
make the Protestant-that is, chiefly,
the Lutheran-church-N aziminded,
and government DEGREES have been is
sued to effect the reform whereby the
church becomes an obedient tool in
the hands of the strongly one-party
politically minded federal govern
ment.
Hitler has run up against church
opposition on several occasions; he
has found that that was the hardest
of all to crush. He has found 1t
now again. For last Sunday from
many thousand pulpits courageous
ministers protested against the or
ders of the government; they were
not going to obey the arbitrary die
tates of Hitler or Reichsbischof Muel-
Ter. No, indeed-they proceeded to
read the bishop out of the church,
declared boldly and openly that in
his attempts to establish what is
called a German national church he
had disregarded completely the fun
damental principles of Christianity,
and that his acts had filled all Chris
tian churches with shame and sor-
row."
If Hitler had let the church mind
its own business he would have been
stronger, and more secure OF his
