JULY FOURTH
ARE Warned
Chief of Police Ralston Says
Somebody Is Liable to
Take a Walk"

Those celebrating with fireworks
had better be careful, for those who
are thoughtless in handling sky
rockets, hurting bombs and fire
hackers are liable to be taken for
a walk" according to Chief of Po-
lice Dan Ralston.
The Chief said that several years
ago, bombs were thrown under the
feet of people and tossed up into
the air, permitting bursting in any
old place. Fire crackers were
thrown into passing cars, thrown
into peoples faces and the larger
ones were placed in the hoods of
automobiles, sometimes doing great
damage. Many persons were in
jured, some of course, only slightly.
Sky rockets were shot off-some
down the streets instead of into the
air.
Well, this will not be on Juneaus
Fourth celebration this year, fur
Their said the Chief.
Il will have special plainclothes-
men on duty and If a "boisterous
gayety is INDUCED in, it will be a
walk for those so engaged. don't
mean to curb the celebration one
bit, but have regards for others is
what I warn the celebrants. The
celebrants are just as thoughtless
as the children, SO be careful this
Fourth"
The display of fireworks by deal
ers begins July and firing on July
3 and 4, owing to the celebration
being carried to July S, the sport
will be continued for an extra day"

Unemployment Drops
The estimates of the National In
dustrial Conference Board show
100000 persons employed in APP
ril in agricultural and non-agricul-
tural pursuits, as compared with
AZ 1850 900 in 1929.
The April total of 100000
workers employed in manufactur-
ing shows gain of almost five
millions over July. 1882, the low for
industrial employment. This total,
the conference board reports, is
half million above September, 1929,
the highest month of employment
in the peak times before the Wall
Street panic. Then, 1871 900 work.
|ers were engaged in all kinds of
manufacturing industries.
Although manufacturing employ
ment is above 1929, the April totals
are behind 1929 in such industries
as construction. agriculture, trans
portation, utilities, mining.
The April estimate OF unemploy-
ment was 6.98l 900 pers ons, as
compared with 9,325.OO0 in April,
1886. In the march back to work
in 1887 the unemployment rolls de-
creased 100000 persons from jan
uary through April
In such estimates as those of the
N ational Industrial Conference
Board, 1t is generally computed that
around five million persons OF the
total unemployed are accounted for
by those who came of age, ready
and prepared for jobs. in the years
after the crash.

Hagerstown few years ago had
an unusually large number of high
class mechanics unemployed, but
this is not the case today. Those
who did not return to their former
jobs obtained positions outside the
city and are today employed in
some Of the largest manufacturing
plants in the East.
According to Government Stats
tics, the National Unemployment
Service has played an important
part in defeating the depression
of several years ago. Many thous-
ands OF men and women, unable
to obtain employment have been
referred to positions through this
agency. The employers, likewise,
have found the service to be re-
liable and many now use the of
fees exclusively. No charge is

The drivers of tomorrow are
swinging into action. Most driy-

Safety Patrols-and when the lit
tie hands signal to stop, or go
slow, we drivers obey the COM
mand. This cheerful obedience IS
significant. These patrols and the

Automobile Clubs, are studying
ssyfety and they are intelligently
supervising, their elders. When
the boys who are now the "driv-

wheel they will possess a full
knowledge of the ways and means
to control their cars. In this great
job to save human lives the public
must not overlook the fact that
school teachers are impressing the
lessons of safety upon boys, and
girls, too.
Public road officials, automobile
clubs. and school officials are
backing the boys clubs After all
this whole safety movement is a
