THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FOURTH OF JULY | MAKES 50 BLIND YEAR IN AND OUT

Parents Held Responsible

For Preventing Injury To Children.

By DAVID DIETZ Times Science Editor HE Fourth of July celebrates the anniversary of American independence, but unless 1937 differs greatly from the preceding years, | July 4 will mark the end of independence for 50 or more American

youths. Fireworks causes that many cases of blindness each year. { Two years ago the National So- | ciety for the Prevention of Blind- | ness and the American Museum of | Safety made a study of that year’s | fireworks accidents on and near) July 4 They found a total of 6940 injuries which were serious enough | to be mentioned in the newspapers | of the nation. It is obvious that many minor accidents must have occurred which were not sufficient- | ly important to achieve newspaper notice. The serious injuries included 24 that proved fatal, 539 eye injuries, and 57 cases of blindness. |

Ideal Still Distant

“There are now in American | schools for the blind nearly 300 children who lost their sight as a result of accidents, chiefly thruogh the use of fireworks and air rifles,” | Lewis H. Carris, managing director of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, said. “Each | year nearly 1000 children suffér accidental eye injuries and a number | become totally blind. An extraordi- | nary proportion of these accidents | occur on the Fourth of July and | during the few days preceding and | foliowing.” The “safe and sane Fourth” is still an ideal far short of attainment, Mr. Carris said. | “An increasing number of cities | and states are regulating the sale of firecrackers and toy explosives,” he added. “But the ultimate responsibility for the prevention of accidents lies with parents, as individuals and as members of We community.” In many localities where the sale | of fireworks is prevented in cities, roadside stands thrive in the country. It is tempting to many people | to buy a few packages of firecrack- | ers as they drive along on a Sun- | day outing. |

Parents Responsible

remember Mr. Carris’

summary of the situation: “The ulti- |

mate responsibility for the preven- | sales manager of the organization, | ‘of the north Atlantic Ocean and

tion of accident lies with parents.” Injuries are heart-breaking enough |

Reply Awaited

Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinov of Russia (above) today awaited a Japanese answer to his proposal that both countries withdraw militia from disputed territory along the Amur River. Japanese Ambassador Mamoru Shigemitsu (below) was expected to reply today. The dispute was caused because of a clash of Rus-

| sian and Japanese-Manchukuoan

forces on the winding stream that forms the frontier.

Jupiter and Mars Will Add to Luster of Skies in July, Writer Says.

To the stars that shine in the summer evening, two planets now add their luster. Both are in the southern sky. In the southeast is

Next to Sagittarius, to the right, is Scorpius, the scorpion. The tail curls around, under the spout of the teapot; a prominent red star, Antares, forms the heart, and a curved row of stars near it the claws. Still farther right is Libra, the scales, and this is the present location of Mars, also red, but much brighter than Antares, the name of which, incidentally, means “rival of Mars.” A good way to find the other bright stars in the evening sky is to start with the Great Dipper, in the north.

The stars at the bottom, called Dubhe and Merak, are the pointers, indicating the direction of the Pole Star. By following the curve of the handle, toward the south, one soon comes to Arcturus, in Bootes, the bear driver. The brightest star of the summer evening skies, though it is inferior to Jupiter and Mars, is Vega, part of Lyra, the lyre, seen quite high in the east.

C.
