Born In those fateful nine years, of revolution, our nation today, after 150-years of perseverance and progress. Is the most favored ou earth, the most powerful, the‘Wealthiest i So much has been taken here as a matter of course that It seems hard to realize that this anniversary Is celebrated in the very England from which liberty was wrested, and that observances of it are officially ordered In many lands beyond the seas. The Fourth of July has become International In scope,' for it has changed the governments of nations whose capitals are far from Independence hall. Had not the ideas of government held by the colonists been essentially British there would probably never have been any Declaration of Independence. It is as natural for the Briton to demand.his rights as It is for him to live. The war of the Revolution was largely due to the fact that the three thousand miles of water between ixmdon and the colonies caused parliament tv lose sight of the ties of consanguinity and of race. Although the original thirteen colonies were so essentially English In thought and feeling they had never actually been established by England as a national enterprise. The only one which had ever received any official aid whatever ( was Georgia, and that was not sufficient to carry any such feeling at dependence as Is essential for the prswrvatMn of Intimate colonial relations. The right to colonies the North American continent had been granted by charters from a British king. According to the feudal system, which was then rapidly becoming effaced, the king owned all the land and distributed It among various favored vassals. The sovereign In the same way regarded the New World as if It had been won by the sword. The most extravagant Ideas prevailed with regard to the wealth of the American lands It was at one time soberly believed in Bnciand that gold and '(silver and precious stones could be had for the taking and- that the natives were the possessors of fabulous wealth. The king gave the charters in most cases with the Idea that he would profit greatly from mines which would yield enormous returns to the royal exchequer. When the colonists came here they found It necessary to make food their titles either by peaceful bargains with the Indians or by force of arms. From the very firm the spirit of independence wus fostered, for fiefs which bad to be maintained by constant vigilance and negotiations and by show of force did not carry with them a deep sense of obligation. Indeed, even at that early day, although for the throne the colonists entertained feelings of loyalty and devotion, a shrewd Idea was abroad that the king did not really own the land which be had bestowed by his charter. The conquest of nature and of the savages begot a rugged Independence which as the years went by became more and more distasteful to the authorities in England. Richard Henry Lae, of Virginia, ottered tba independence resolution in June, 1776, and a committee waa appointed to draft the Declaration, consisting of Tbotnas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin. Roger Sherman and Robert Livthgaton. Jefferson wrote the document, and alterations were made principally at the suggestion of Franklin and Adams. The paper was submitted to congress on June 28. It was laid co the tabhMxntll July 1. when nine colonies voted tn favor at it

The independence resolution was .actually adopted on July 2 and promulgated to the world on July when John Hancock, of Massachusetts, • affixed to it bls bold signature. The other ’ members of the congress did not sign it until August 2. and the impressive scene connected with the signing was not \ witnessed until nearly a jponth later, although it Is popularly associated with the Fourth of July. Centuries of the progress of the rights of man bear witness in the Ihsclaratlon. That “all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain Inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” was not new. for it was recognized at Sinai. That governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed had been stated and restated in many ways since the beginning of the ’ colonies. Thomas Jefferson was criticised at the time for lack of originality In the Declaration. The document gained all the greater force from Its statement of pelf-evident truths. Never was there a more masterly presentation of a bill of grievances than Is contained tn the I»eclnration, which “submits the facts to a candid world.” In 1 STB the <®>e hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence was celebrated with impressive exercises both in New York and Philadelphia. In 1N26 was celebrated the fiftieth anniversary. Several of the original signers of the immortal document were still alive, although unable on account of extreme age to take part in the exercises to which they had been bidden. New York had a grand procession and a barbecue in the square now named after Washington, at which 10,000 persons were present. Jociab Quincy was the orator of the day in Boston, and addresses also were made by’ Webster and Peabody. And now in 1928 we have the Sesqulcentemaial exposition at Philadelphia, open from June l.to liecembcr L To It will come the nations of the world co-operating wfth us tn our celebration, which has been designed to demonstrate that what fifty years ago was merely potential is today an accomplished fact.

A score or more of smaller buildings. each at Individual character, contain displays of foreign countries and separate states of the Union. At the main entrance to the grounds are two pylons, 3ft feet high, surmounted by colossal figures to be known as the Heralds of the New Dawn. They are symbolic of the story of Ameriean freedom.

DEADLY DANDERS OF EXHAUST GAS Experts Tell of Carbon Monoxide Peril in MotorCar Garages. With more than 20,000.000 motor ears registered In the United States and a contemplated 1926 production of 3,000,000 more automobiles, various organizations are starting an educational crusade against carbon monoxide (deadly motor exhaust gas). Insurance investigators and chemical authorities, not to mention government health officials, agree that this gas is one of the most deadly of all gases. The very fact that it attacks without warning and that but simple precautions are necessary to prevent Its large life-taking toll demands, authorities believe, a widespread educational program comparable to the tremendous increase in the use of automotive vehicles. Most Deadly in Garages. It is estimated that millions of automobiles are kept in public garages. It is in the garage that monoxide gas. as it is commonly called, gets in its deadliest work. Automobile enginesare constantly running in all public garages, and they release a deadly flood of this highly poisonous gas for employees to breathe. Without proper ventilating precautions this menacing practice eliminates the entrance of the lighter oxygen and results in practically a closed chamber with the air loaded with this gas. A well-known Insurant investigator aptly explains monoxide gas and its effect as follows: “There is no means of detecting its presence by smell, sight or other senses. Its attack Is Insidious and quick, and a perfectly well person may topple over unconscious without warning. While the automobile engine is in operation it constantly creates a flow of carbon monoxide gas through its exhaust, and experiments have shown that only a remarkably short time Is necessary to fill a garage with sufficient quantities of this gas to cause instant death to occupants.” Overbalances Oxygen. A representative of a national ventilating society declares that carbon monoxide “overbalances oxygen when breathed into the Inngs.” Explaining the effect of this poison on a person, he said: •’There are two properties of the blood essential to proper respiration, the white and red blood cells. The latter absorbs oxygen, drawn into the lungs, and distributes It th all parts of the body. Now monoxide gas is attracted to the red cells 300 times more strongly than is oxygen, and It easily saturates the blood. This absorption of monoxide gas by thfe blood temporarily replaces the oxygen supply and quickly induces asphyxia?’ A small leak in the exhaust of a closed automobile will cause headache and a tired feeling to the occupants. authorities agree. The same Is true of confinement in a closed room where gas burners are in operation. This Is directly due to the presence of carbon monoxide and the lack of oxygen through improper ventilation. Look Out for Accident* When Parked on a Hill When leaving the car headed downhill, even if the machine Is in gear, the emergency brake set and the wheels turned in toward the curb, don't park it too close to the car ahead. In a recant case of thia sort the car ahead, when pulling away bumped the other car sufficiently to throw the gears into neutral and change the position of the wbeete. The emergency didn’t hold, and had it not been for the fort that the machine struct the fender of another car parked along the street, thus attracting the attention of people passing. the car would have been smashed to pieces.

Accidents When Brake* Are Water-Soaked Brakes should be given special attention after a ear has been wanted or has been driven through water or splashy mud. In either case, water is almost sure to get into and soak the external brake bands, and under such conditions water is very much of a lubricant and will have much the same effect as oil in preventing the brakes from taking hold promptly. Henc« the first time you need to stop In a hurry, you are very likely to find that they refuse to take hold promptly and a bad smashup may be the result. The remedy for suspected wet brake bands is to drag the brake a few times immediately after leaving the washstand. The increased pres sure on the brake bands forces out th» water and allows It to dry off. so that when needed in an emergency, the? will take hold promptly. Where grease, oil, mud. dirt and sc on have produced a sort of glaze on the brake bands, they cannot be expected to take hold as they should and accidents are likely to happen About the only effective way to rem edy this trouble Is to take off th< brakes and remove the glaze with s rough file or hacksaw blade or to wash the lining with gasoline and scrub it with a wire brush.

Few Simple Regulations to Cut Motor Accidenta We have too much automobile law. The next trend must be toward th« elimination of all unnecessary requirements and the* enactment of a few simple rules and regulations that may be easily understood, easily enforced and, as nearly as possible, universally observed, says an official oi an automobile organization. Such az elimination would in many instances do away with about three-fourths oi our present laws. Traffic rules and regulations art yet in their formative period? Muct remains to be done before avoidabl* accidents may be reduced to a mini mum. The principal difficulty Is th« unwillingness of the public to accept and obey snch rules and regulations It is a matter of undisputed recorf that between 90 and 95 per cent ol all accidents result from the neglect of the Individual pedestrian and lew than 5 per cent are caused by th< direct fault of the motorist or ttH reckless uee of the motor car.
