Strikes disrupt communities and set them back in a hundred ways., The American Legion invites you , to the Fourth of July program and to see the fireworks display at night. With bands and drum corps par- 1 ticipaiing, the parade of Legionnaires will furnish the usual thrills which go with the staging of these patriotic demonstrations. Be on hand Thursday afternoon. The House of Congress evident- ' ly is opposed to the “death sentence" clause in the proposed util-, ity regulation, having so voted that’ way. The Wheeler-Rayburn bill. I known as a substitute for the j Presidents, measure was passed 323 to SI. Holding companies will survive until 1912 under the House bill. Every effort is being made top clear the city water.

The city hopes to start work on InstaKng the new ornamental street lights, water line extensions, park and parking lot improvements and other projects, next Friday if applications for FERA labor are O.

The sticke situation in Fort Wayne seems similar to those which have gone on in other cities. Outside organizers, not interested it: the welfare of the employe, home owner, industry or community, are attempting to accomplish eelfish ends and everyone will suffer. Most communities can settle their own -problems and if left alone win do so and run along smoothly. Only one TOOte day of firecrackNex tear an ordinance should be passed prohibiting firing them in the up town business district. Merchants and store keepers have! complained about the boys shoot.* ing the explosives in the alleys and near the doors of the places of business, and it does seem that

citizens have to subject themselves to ft lot of nervous strain as a resuit The Key Brothers boat all endurance Hight records and landed safely in their home town, after being in the air more than 647 hours.

SANE JULY FOURTH: The success of the July Fourth celebration depends solely on freedom from distressing casualties. Progress has been achieved in reducing the appalling number of deaths and injuries which once marked the nations birthday anniversary. Better regulation covering the types of fireworks which may be legally sold, bans which many communities have established on their use within corporate limits ajid improved roofing codes and fire-flghring methods all have contributed toward a substantia,', approach to conditions which can be described as . reasonably safe and sane. July Fourth is still hazardous, however, for thousands of persons, principally children. Safety campaigns in the schools have made pupils more conscious of traffic dangers. Attention lots not been drawn so specifically to the national holiday, beyond the general appeal of various safety organizations. Fireworks manufacturers have co-operated by eliminating more dangerous products and by improVThg the quality of those now being sold. Parents face the chief responsibility to caution their children against carelessness in handl- ' ing a.ny explosive product. Youngsters ordinarily should not I be permitted the use of fireworks unless supervised by older persons. Prompt medical treatment saves many lives. The crusade must be continued until the holiday can be fittingly celebrated without paying a terrific toll in life and limb. A valuable contribution to the problem should be made from a study of the nature, causes and results of fireworks accidents to be inaugurated by the American Museum of Safety. Public health authorities and safety organizations throughout the country will co-operate. This study is designed to eliminate the dangerous element in fireworks without injury to the industry aid without removing noise-makers and pyrotechnic displays from our celebration of the day. — Indianapolis Star. o * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File ♦ “♦ July 3, 1915. — An unidentified man shoots J.
