PATRIOTISM IN SAFETY

Independence Day in the United
Stotes will be celebrated this year in q
nortioI otnoosphers. Yet tthere is no
reason for this observance to involve
the use Of more than judicious mini
mum of firecrockers, rockets, and pin
Wheels Already too much detonotion
Of explosives is going on in the world
without supplementing it with exPendi-
ture of gunpowder for entertainment.
The quality Of thot entertainment
has oIwoys been morred by the oppeor-
once on succeeding days Of doIeful lists
Of persons injured in the procedure
HeortenineIy the number Of such cosu-
oIties has materially diminished in re-
cent years. The improvement Of this
situation is due largely if not almost en-
treIy to the adoption of Stote laws
regulating the sole Of fireworks and, in
fact, practically prohibiting them ex-
cept for supervised community displays
Nine States had such laws at the out
set Of this yeor: Delaware. indiana,
Iowa, Michigan, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Utah, and West
Virginia. Five Stotes have adopted fire
works control laws this year, Of which
the Arizona and Maryland statutes ore
in effect and the new Minnesota, Ohio,
and Florida octs will take effect next
yeor
After the adoption Of the Pennsyl-
vonio law the number Of reported in
juries from fireworks decreased from
100 in 1888 to IS in 1889 and to So
in 1910. This sort of q sowing Of human
resources and facilities for useful work

resents practical patriotism. - From
