Warns Against Danger
OF Careless July 18th
Over 900 In State Injured in
Fireworks Accidents In
Three Years

As plans near completion for this
voars celebration of the Fourth of
1ulv. DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, warns
AGAINST the irresponsible indulgence
IN fireworks and other explosives.
More than 900 persons in Maryland
have been injured in Fourth of July
accidents due to fireworks, he said in
the last three years.
Fore several years, the State and
Citv Departments of Health have CO.
onerated with the Maryland Society
for the Prevention of Blindness in
checking up on information concern
mo injuries received in such accidents.
0These records show" DIR. Riley con-
tinued, chat 307 persons were injured
in Fourth of July accidents from fire
works in 1889; 3O6 in 1888 and 295 in
1887; 9O8 in the three years. There
were probably great many more
that were not reported. Of the BOT
accidents reported in 1889, 70 occurred
in the counties and 229 in Baltimore
City.
efforts have been made by public
and private agencies to secure legis-
lation limiting the unrestricted hand
ling of fireworks. The regulations
issued recently by the State Insurance
Department, through John B. Con
trum, the State Insurance Commits
sioner, governing the sale of fireworks
in Maryland, mark great step for
ward. There is every reason to hope
this years toll of accidents will be
greatly reduced through the careful
enforcement of these regulations.
an the meanwhile, in order that we
remember the hazards involved in any
handling of fireworks, it is worth re-
calling last years record.
Last years total of 307 persons
injured in fireworks accidents over the
holiday, included 1876 children under
IS; ID of whom were from 1 to 5
years old, SO from to 10 to 112 from
II to Is. Those in the older groups in
cluded 80 from 16 to 20; % from 81
to 30, and the rest were from 81 to
70.
"There was one death. Here is the
record: Adult. Thinking an aerial
bomb would not go off, he went back
to examine it. 1t went off striking his
forehead. Fractured skull. Died fifteen
minutes after entering hospital"
"a child of nine was struck in the
face by bomb. About fifty stitches
required A boy of seventeen placed a
large frecracker in a glass bottle and
had his eyesight permanently impair
ed through the explosion of the glass.
"Firecrackers were responsible for
the injuries to 248 persons; 10 were
injured by sky-rockets, 6 by tor
pedoes; by Roman candles and 2 by
sparklers.
"Of the total, 26 persons suffered
injuries to the eyes; 80 to the face;
1877 to the hands or arms; Cd to other
parts of the body.
"These figures give no idea of the
suffering or anxiety involved. Neither
do they give any idea of the danger
of lockiaw-tetanus as it is known
medically-that is always present in
injuries from fireworks or other ex-
plosives.
eff your celebration of the Fourth
of July is not complete without fire
works, limit your enjoyment to them
to adequately safeguarded community
displays"
