Better Control Of Fireworks
Sales Asked By Medical Body

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-R-Better
control of the sale of fireworks
was advocated today by the Amer
lean Medical association, which re-
ported 10 deaths were due directly
to the 1889 Fourth of July cele-
bration-five fewer than in 1888.
The associations annual survey
revealed that the total number of
injuries attributed to fireworks and
other explosives dropped from 1888
in 1888 to $3.50 last year.
The two principal causes of
deaths-as in 1887 and 193S-were
m%utilations received by boys or
men from homemade explosives
and burns suffered by little girls
whose dresses caught fire from
sparklers or firecrackers.
A new statewide law banning
fireworks in Pennsylvania was
given credit for much of the re-
duction in both deaths and in
juries. Although six fireworks
deaths and 1,7o2 injuries were re-
corded in the state in 1898, no
deaths and only IS injuries were
reported last year.
The effect of adequate laws sat-
isfactorily enforced was shown also,
the report said. by records of Utah
and West Virginia. Following a
new Utah law injuries dropped
from IS in 1888 to five. No casual
ties at all were reported from West
Virginia, which had Al injuries

TEXT OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S
ANNUAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

America as a self-contained unit
can live happily and prosperously
it's lutrre secure, inside a high
wall of isolation while, outside, the
rest of civilization and the con-
MERGE md culture of mankind are
shattered.
I can understand the feelings OF
those who warn the nation that
they will eve again consent to
the sending Of American youth to
fight on the soil Of Europe. But.
as I remember, nobody has asked
them to consent-for nobody e.
poets such an undertaking.
Hope Not Abandoned
The overwhelming majority of
cur fellow citizens do not abandon
in the slightest their hope and ex-
p~ectation that the United States
will not become involved in mill
tary participation in the war.
I can also understand the wish
fulness of those who over-simplify
the whole situation by repeating
that all we have to do is to n 7
our own ! isiness and keep the ma
ton ont of war. But there is a
vast difference between keeping out
of war AID pretending that this
war is none of our business.
We do not have to go to war
with other nations, but at least
we can strive with other nations
to encourage the kind Of peace that
will tighten the troubles Of the
world, and by so doing help our
own nation as well.
I ask that all of US everywhere
think things through with the single
aim of how best to serve the future
of Dull own nation. I do not mean
merely its future relationship with
the outside world. I mean it's do
nestle future as well-the work. the
security, the prosperity, the happi.
ness, the life of all the boys and
girls of the United States, as they
are inevitably affected by such
world relationships. For it becomes
clearer and clearer that the future
world will be a shabby and dan
gerous place to live in-evec for
Americans to live inf it is ruled
by force in the hands of a few.
Longer View
Already the crash of swiftly NOV
ing events over the earth has made
us all think with a longer view.
Fortunately, that thinking cannot
be controlled by partisanship. The
time is long past when any political
party or any particular group can
curry and capture public favor by
labelling itself the peace party" or
the peace bloc" That label be.

and to every right thinking man.

For out of all the military and

are two facts which stand out and
which the whole world acknowl-
edges.

HAPPY RELIEF
FROM PAINFUL
BACkACHE

Many of those ~gnawing, ~nagging, painful
backaehes people blame on colds or strains are
often caused by tired kidneys--and may be
relieved when treated in the right way:
The kidneys are Natures chief way Of taking
excess acids and poisonous waste out OF the
blood. They help most people pass about 3 plnts
a day.
If the Is miles of kidney tubes and filters
don't work well, poisonous waste matter stays
in the blood. These p~oisons may start nagglng
backaches, rheumatic pains, loss of pep and
energy, getting up nights, swelling, pufhnness
under the eyes, headaches and dizziness. Ere
burning sometimes shows there is something
wrong with your kidneys or bladder.
Don't waitl Ask your druggist for Doan's
Pills, used successfully by millions for over 40
years: They give happy relief and will help the
waste from your blood. Get Doan's Pills.

Steel Industry
Production Rote Seems

PITTSBURGH, March Ga def
nitely optimistic attitude was evi-
dent today in steel circles, where a
feeling of uncertainty has prevailed
since before Christmas.
The reaffirmation yesterday of
existing prices, including tinplate.
by United States Steel, the Nations
biggest producer, was generally ex-
pected, but nevertheless was seen as
a4steadying influence.
It came when the steadily declin-
ing rate of production appeared to
be finding level at between go and
IS per cent of capacity after falling
more than % points in six weeks.
Will Make Profit.
That meant the industry with its
pay roll of $4,000 workers, 1000 less
than December, but 10000 above
that of year ago, will be able to
clear profit, since most companies
make money when their output ex-
ceeds the $3.50 per cent capacity
line.
Encouraging, too, were indications
that the volume of incoming orders,
which plunged even more precipi-
lately than production averages, are
climbing near the output level.
Frightened steel consumers, like
oyoH hNtycnuyivyoc at In l.
of the European war last fall, flooded
the operators with so many orders
their inventories quickly piled high.
Bethlehem Steel, largest of the in
dependent mills, reflected that yes

sumers are reduced, buying will in

Purnell of the youngstown Sheet

Feel Accumulation Is Halted.
Although the National Industrial
Conference Board reported inven-
tories of manufacturers increased
3 per cent during January and were
is per cent above January of 1899,
steel men said this accumulation
definitely was halted during the
past two months.
Iron Age stated a steady decline

stopped about 10 days ago after
tumbling II per cent, rejecting a
stronger condition IN that important
fielu.
Automobile production reached
413,000 units in February, highest
since the $4,000 mark for that
month made in 1929 and there also
was an increasing inquiry for steel
from the construction industry.
Railroads, which enjoyed one of
their best years in decade in 1899,
had orders placed February / for
1859 new freight cars, compared
with 6,637 on that date a year ago,
as well as for 139 new locomotives.
A year ago there were orders for
