1900 PERSONS IN
4 YEARS INJURED
BY FIRE WORKS.
There Are Plenty Of Thrills
And Less Danger In The
Community Displays
FIGURES GIVEN BY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Over 1000 persons in Maryland
have been injured in connection with
Fourth of July accidents from fire
works, in the last four years, accord
ing to records filed with the State
Department of Health by the Mary
land Society for Prevention of Blind
ness, of surveys made year by year,
by that organization.
In 1887, 295 persons were injured;
3O4 in 1888; BOT in 1889; 3O3 in 1910
= total of 1909. There were four
deaths among those injured-two lit
tie girls, one, five, the other eight
years old, died of burns caused when
sparklers set fire to their dresses;
one, boy of twelve, died from in
juries caused by the explosion of a
home made cannon put together out
of lead pipe and powder from fire
crackers, and the fourth, an adult,
died when an aerial bomb went off
prematurely, fracturing his skull.
Citing this large total of accidents
and the four deaths as examples of
the risks involved in the irresponsible
indulgence in fireworks or other ex-
plosives, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health, ad-
vised those who feel that Indepen-
dence Day celebrations are incom-
plete without fireworks, to limit their
Indulgence in such explosives to ade-
quately safeguarded community dis
plays.
Emphasizing the Importance of pro-
tecting children against the danger
involved in the indiscriminate handl-
ing of fireworks, DR.. Riley said that
the State records show that approx
mately two out of every three of
those who have been injured in Mary
land in the past four year have been
youngsters under fifteen-792 of the
total of 1909. This group included,
he said, one baby linden a year old;
45 children from one to 5 years old;
BIG from 6 to 10, and 433 from II to
Is. The rest ranged in age from 16
to 20 and over.
Internationally and little
were responsible" DR.. Riley contin-
ued "for the injuries to the greatest
number. Nearly a thousand persons
-96S-were injured in accidents or
explosions from this source; 1873 in
accidents caused by miscellaneous
types of fireworks; IS by torpedoes;
81 by skyrockets, q by Roman can
dies and Is by sparklers. There were
probably many other, similar, acct
dents that were not reported.
"The reported accidents read like
the casualty list Of an aeriel bombing
burns, decorations, cuts, injuries to
the face and eyes, threatening the
loss of sight; to the arms and hands
causing the loss of fingers in some
intances; to the feet, legs and other
parts of the body. But no idea can
be given of the pain and suffering
endured or the anxiety of those threat
ened with loss of life, of sight, or of
permanent damage to some other
part of the body.
"Plenty of thrills and great deal
of enjoyment-with much less danger
can be gotten out of community dis
plays of fireworks. Try the commun-
ity plan this year-but see that the
display is safeguarded by properly
qualified handling"

Gets New Data
On Mans Ills
Or. Grille Isolates Diseases of
Civilization by Study
Of Animals.

CLEVELAND. = DR.. George w
Grille, noted clinician, travelled near
ly 100, 900 miles, tracked down 3,700
animals and survived major
plane crash in Florida swamp to
establish a new recently announced
basic physiological law.
DR.. Grille, head of the widely
known Cleveland clinic. with his re-
search associate. DR. Daniel p.
Curing. sought to answer riddle
that has plagued medical men for
decades:
Why does civilized man alone,
and not aborigines and animals,
suffer such diseases as high blood
pressure, diabetes and heart dis
ease?'
The result of the quest was a new
physiological law that demonstrates
for the first time a basic relation
ship between the size of the brain
and the rate Of metabolism-the
speed at which calories are burned
by the body
Apes and Man Suffer.
DR.. Grille, noted for his blood pres
sure experiments, and his assistant
found that in all animals except
man and the higher apes the
metabolism rate is relatively con-
slant in relation to the size OF the
brain.
Thus 12,ll5 small calories" are
consumed every "a hours for each
gram of brain in these animals.
There is but small variation.
In man and the more advanced
animals such as the apes, however,
this basic relationship or law no
longer applies.
Because of this disequilibrium,
according to the theory, there is
increased strain upon organic ac-
tivities. This results in diseases
peculiarly human.
The scientists said that practical
applications OF the new law cannot
be envisioned as yet. However,
they expressed belief that the law,
fundamental contribution to
physiology, will have valuable eff
fects ultimately.
Wide Area Covered.
DR.. Crile's search for physiology
cal facts in animals led him and his
party to areas ranging from the
Arctic seas to tropical jungles.
It was on their return from trip
to southern waters that DR.. Grille
and his wife we're involved in the
plane crash. A northbound airliner
crashed in a swamp during severe
storm. The passengers remained
in the shallow water for hours until
rescuers arrived, and DR.. Grille was
seriously injured.
While in Florida, just before the
crash, Or. Grille and his party used
a blimp to spot manatee-com-
monty known as seacow--Which
later was brought to Cleveland to be
placed on exhibit with many other
animals in the Grille collection at
the Sarah Todd Mcbride museum.
The animals in the collection in
clude the manatee-a 935-pound
mammal with an ugly snout-an
ostrich, iguana, shark, alligator,
lion and snake specimens.
Also on display is the largest ele-
phant ever known to have been shot.
The great animal weighed 7A tons
and had heart the size OF a medi-
cine ball.
4 Il was from animals such as these
that DR.. Grille and his helpers re-
moved the brains, hearts, thyroids
and adrenal glands BY careful cal
cu1ations they found it possible to
determine the new basic law.

TRAGIC FRANCE
(Tulare Times

A short time ago, in the beautiful, his
toric French town of FOntainebleau,
squads of workmen went to work on a
wrecking job. That job involved the
tearing down of two huge statues. One
statue was of a great Frenchman who
had fought for democracy-Marshal La
fayette. The other statue was of a great
American who led victorious democratic
army-General John J. Pershing.
There is tragic symbolism in this.
For it indicates how completely France
has deserted the democratic way of life,
and embraced the doctrines of the total
state as laid down and enforced by Hitler
1t is generally felt that the great bulk
of the French people hate Hitler, and
pray for allied victory. But, so long
as the present Vichy government exists,
there seems no other course than to re-
gard modern France as an ally of Ger
many.
The hope that General Weygand would
eventually refuse to use his great African
army to help the Germans is, in the
view of most experts, futile. The recent
appointment Of Admiral Darlan as head
Of French defense shows the way the
wind blows. Darlan is anti-democratic,
and pro-Nazis. 1t will not come as any
great surprise if the French fleet is in
time placed at Hitler's disposal.
