The plane Win- ' 11 ie Mae amt her crew saw some . sights in those eight days, hut probably no place looked as good to them as the dust on Long island. : It ought not to, be, and it need , not lie, yet judging from the IndeI peiidencc day records few will care II to forecast that the approaching 1 I July 1 will not correspond to the II same day in 1930. The National ! Safety Council sets out, in summarized form, a sorry page concerning the manner in which so many Americans meet sorrow and death on the historic occasion: "Motorists crash as firecrackers | explode. Boys, shooting fireworks, ! hit by auto. Drowned at Fourth of July picnic. Permanently maimed by fireworks. Home destroyed by fireworks. Badly mangled by tircwol ks. Badly burned by fireworks. Killed by fireworks.” So it went last year, and so it lias gone in preceding years for many decades. Despite all precautions fixed by legal regulation, the toll in injuries, deaths and property damage from the use of explosive devices continue to he appalling. Statistics show, perhaps, that we are doing better, but no observer of the annual disaster will contend that we are doing well enough.—lndianapolis News.

ARIZONA OPENS WAR ON AUTO TAX DODGERS Truck Operators Under Scrutiny of State’s New Traffic Squad By George I). Crissoy t'P. Staff Correspondent Phoenix. Ariz., July 2. —(U.R) — Certain truck operators of adjacent states who have been avoiding payment of Arizona license lees will find their schemes worthless, due to the observance of George W. P. Hunt. Arizona's 71-year-old governor. With the start of the fiscal year, July 1, the first squad of traffic fficers ever to see Arizona will roll out on the highways. Their first job will be to prevent methods of fee dodging which the governor recently opposed. Not long ago the governor spent a week-end in Yuma, on life Ari r.ona-California border, and while there noticed a California truck bearing one Arizona license plate. Shortly thereafter he saw another California truck using the other half of the set of license plates. Fee-Dodging System This disclosed a fee-dodging system — that of buying one set of plates for two California trucks
