THE DAY WE CELEBRATE
For some years now the can
non cracker of beloved memo
ry and all other toys supposed
ly or actually dangerous in the
hands of the young have been
forbidden to children, who
found in them one of Young
America’s greatest joys before
the new era of uplift and scien
tific criticism of all things gay
and adventurous. And it isn’t
uncommon to hear of parents
who, impelled by the newer
codes of dietetics, limit the
quantities of ice cream and so
da pop usually available as a
stimulus of patriotic feeling in
the young. We have even
heard anxious and confused
murinurings against lemonade.
For better or for worse—we
know not which—the Fourth
of July, like all other institut
ions inherited from the robust
past, is in a fair way to be reg
ulated out of all semblance of
its former character. It is the
fashion now to expect children
to find delight and the inspir
ation to patriotic fervor in care
fully supervised singsongs, in
supervised play, in supervised
marchings about. All'this may
be well enough. Doubtless the
fire-cracker is dangerous and
has been responsible for an
appalling list of accidents and
fatalities. We can recall per
sonally many painful recollect
ions of burnt fingers and days
of torture as a result of dalli
ance with the effusive noise
makers. Let them go. But at
the same time it must be con
ceded that they gave a great
deal of character and distinct
ion to the American Day of
Days. Little might be said in
the way of unfriendly criticism
of the new style of Fourth if
the people who fashioned it!
were a little more consistent,
and if they seemed content to
take a little of their own medi
cine.
Freedom, which the Fourth
commemorates, is still for those
who can command it and not
for others. So a good many
people, having seen to it sharp
ly that there are no firecrack
ers around the house and that
the ice cream cone supply is
regulated down to a healthy!
minimum, go forth and seek a
few thrills by hurling power
ful motor cars along open
roads at 60 or 70 miles per i
hour. And the modern fast and i
and highly sensitive motorcar
in the hands of a reckless dri
ver is far more dangerous1
than any cannon cracker ever
devised. Not a Fourth passes !
cut the newspapers have to
print long lists of people hurt
or killed in holiday traffic I
smashes. But we shall hear of
no movement to authorize the
children of the land to take
away their• parents automo
biles. No! Almost every one is
also agreed that there are also
other devices of a lethal char
acter with which the elders of
the family love to play crazily
on the Fourth of July. The
high explosives vended by the
bootlegging fraternity, for ex- j
ample, are admittedly danger
ous to health and the peace of
the community.
The Safe and Sane Fourth is
mly a myth. About all the re
formers have really accompl
ished in that direction is to
knock all the life out of a once ;
llorious holiday. How thrilling
t must be to the youth of the
and to be regulated and super
/ised, limited even to the quan
ity of ice cream they may eat. ;
And how inspiring to patriot
ic fervor to go to the recreat
ion park and hear Senator Pep
srdash or Judge Squeezum de
liver a beautiful oration on
the Battle of Bull Run or the
History of the American Re-1
public! And all the while many
of those who enforce that kind
of a dry and soulless Fourth on
the youth of the country under
the sanity plea are themselves
tending to make it more and
more Unsafe and Insane.

In these joyful days of make
up, it appears that beauty is
not even skin deep.
Just for Fun

The Three I’s: Ignorance, In
tolerance, Imprison.
Many a young man who asks
for a girl’s hand deserves only
the father’s foot.
Speaking of tonics, there nev
er can be any going back on
sunshine.
Most anyone can easily figure
out how generous they would
be if the had a little more mon
ey.
Because a girl calls a young
man a poor prune it does not
mean that she will not marry
him.
“Times has changed. I re
member that back in the old
days when a man was run
down he took a tonic, now he
takes an ambulance.”
She: “How does my new dress
look?”
lie: “Looks to me like two
weeks’ salary.”
A college youth in the East
who is reported to know twelve
languages ought to be well
equipped for changing tires on
a sultry July day.
About the time the men folks
start to buying their summer
hats, the women are already
busy selecting their autumn
ones.
Wealthy Father: “I am sorry,
but I can’t give my consent to
your marriage with my daugh
ter.
Impecunious Suitor: “Then
for Heaven’s sake let me out
by the side door. You see, all
my creditors are waiting out in
front.”
Times have changed. The
town man looks forward to the
day when he can retire to a
farm and get plenty of exer
cise and the farmer looks for
ward to the day when he can
retire to town and take life
easy.
It seems to us that Fourth of
July orations would be a great
er success if most of the orat
ors would take a little off the
length of their speeches and
add a little more depth.
Advice to Young Men
When a girl says, “You’re so
different,” you may be sure she
has been experimenting.
He: “If I had known that tun
nel was so long, I would have
kissed you.”
She: “Heavens, wasn’t that
you?”
The difference between steak
and Hamburg steak is one day.
Little Willie: “Mama, is papa
going to Heaven when he
dies?”
Mother: “Why, son, who
ever put such an absui’d idea
in your head?”
Little Lucy: “Did you have
many love affairs when you
were young daddy?”
“No, dear; I fell in the first
engagement.”
“Can Sylvia keep a secret?”
“Sure, she never tells who is
was told her.”
Two Alaskans who had not
been Outside for many years
went into a Seattle cafe. After
waiting for a half hour with
no sign of the “eats” coming on
one of them exclaimed: “Gosh,
Bill,; We been here a long
time without getting any
thing to eat.”
“Yes,” replied the other, this
must be that secret service we
been readin’ about up north.”
He: “Say, you’re quite an
amateur at kissing.”
She: “Think so? Well it
took a lot of practice to get
that ‘first time’ effect.”
True Love
They were sitting together,
and after a brief silence the
pretty girl said:
“You seem very quiet tonight,
Roland. Are you— are you
quite sure you love me?”
“Love you!” Roland ex
claimed. “Why, good heavens,
Rhoda, when we were saying
good-bye at the gate last night,
your dog bit a piece out of my
leg, and I never even noticed it
till I got home!”
The one redeeming feature of
the pawnshop is the ticket.
