youngsters into law violations and
consequent injury and death.
Maryland, like her neighbors, Penn
sylvania, West Virginia and Delaware,
could have rid herself long ago of the
scourge of more than three hundred
fireworks injuries that MAIN our boys
and girls annually. But the pleas of
the manufacturers and sellers of these
death-dealing explosives have had
more weight than the pitiful suffer
ings of hundreds of our children.
According to information f r o m
these manufacturers, only about $780,
900 is paid to Maryland labor annu-
ally for fireworks used in Maryland.
On that basis, a maximum of SO of
their 625 employees would have to be
absorbed by other Maryland indus
tries if H. B. 20 passes.
AS to the argument about patriot
ism, statistics show that 4,044 Amer
lean soldiers died for independence
during the Revolution and that from
1900 to 1880, 1920 persons died COM
memorating it. During the same per-
iod, sixteen times as many Americans
were injured with modern fireworks
as were wounded by the real article
in the Revolution. In other words, we
kill more Americans than the British
did.
Finally, the manufacturers claim
that it is the misuse" rather than the
"use" of fireworks that causes all the
trouble. Yet in Maryland's history
every attempt to regulate against the
misuse" of fireworks has been
fought by these interests.
Baltimore has had more than one
battle to retain her fireworks regula-
tions, and this in the face of the al
ready staggering total of more than
two hundred injuries annually.
Since 1922, four bills restricting the
misuse" of fireworks were killed in
the House of Delegates and three
were passed by the House and killed
in the Senate.
Last year the State Insurance Com
missioner, under authority of an act
passed by the Legislature, promul-
gated regulations establishing a per-
nit system which would prevent the
setting up of fireworks stands wher-
ever they would constitute a menace
to public safety or private property
Fireworks interests Immediately Sc
cured an injunction against the In
surance Commissioner to prevent him
from enforcing these safety regula-
tions.
Let US hope that the Maryland
State Senate will follow the example
of the House of Delegates and resist
the clamor of these sinister influ-
ences trying to drown out the screams
of mutilated children. Pass H. B. 80

dren was carried on in coopeation
with the State Department of Educa-
ton. Over Al, 900 children in the ele-
mentary grades were given physi-
cal examination and over $4,000 in
spections were made in connection

eases in the schools. Dental clinics

services and over 10000 children had
the benefit of dental attention.

sion and treatment in connection with

been pursuing, and apparently viii
continue to pursue for some months,
at least, to come. But economically
it is just as cockeyed.
The department OF agriculture,
with the enthusiastic approval OF
congress, is still working on the idea
that il is sound business to pay the
farmers NOT to raise food. The
idea, of course, was always to hold
the price up.
But the administration is strug-
Cling to hold ALL prices down. 1t
doesn't talk about holding farm
prices down, but obviously rise in
the cost of food would boost the cost
of living, and hence tend to produce
more labor troubles
But, if the government would just
take its hands off, it would not only
save hundreds of millions of dollars
which could be used for defense, but
the farmers would eagerly rush
back to the old habit of producing
all they could. Thus, just by letting
nature take its course, the country
would avoid food problem next
year and the year afterward.

Diamond Drilling
Is Now Under Way
Work at Glacier to
Explore Formation to
Depth of Thousand Feet.

F. w. Kiesling, secretary-treas.
urer of the Glacier Silver Lead
Mining Company, and c. E. Collier
attorney for the company, both Of
Spokane, were in Libby Saturday to
conduct sale of stock against which
an assessment had not been paid
They reported that most of the
stockholders had promptly paid the
assessment and that the delinquent
stock was picked up without hesita-
ton.
While here Mr. Kiesling also re-
ported that diamond drilling is now
under way at the mine south OF
Libby. 1t IS planned to explore ex-
tensively the area below the No. 4
tunnel with the expectation of cut
ting the ore bodies at greater depth
It is expected to drill to maximum
depth of thousand feet, but other
drillings will be sunk to cut the
body at about the 200 and the SOC
foot depths.
1t is believed the formation here
is very similar to that in the rich
Occur d'Alene district of Idaho, and
the result of this drilling will furn-
ish further information as to that
conclusion. For that reason, this
work is being watched with much
interest by number of mining men

Britain, U. S., Err
In Food Production

Apparently the U. S. government
is making the same mistake in de-
laying start on increased food pro-
duction that the British government
is now SO bitterly regretting. AT
the outbreak of the present war, in
September, 1889, a survey by the
London Times showed that there
were 100000 acres less under cul-
tivation than had been producing
food at the end of the last war.
The Scotch sheep raisers, for in
stance, were greatly discouraged
over the obvious eagerness OF the
government to increase British con-
sumption of Argentine beef. There
were very sound economic reasons
for increasing Argentinas ability
to purchase British manufactured
goods, but from a military stand
point they were very unsound.
It is long sea haul from Buenos
Aires to any British port, and, pre-
pairing for war in other days, the
British government overlooked the
fact that in wartime they might not
be able to spare the bottoms to bring
this food, not to mention the pos
sibility that German submarines,
raiders, mines and bombers might
make it impossible to get the ships
through at all.
II. s. POLICY SIMILAR
There is not the same element of
gambling with danger in the mis-
taken policy the Tinted States has
