HOLIDAY PROVES “SAFE AND SANE™ Only Two Accidents Occur Due to Fireworks—Neither Is Serious. WOMAN KILLED IN AUTO Car Overturns on Maryland Road. Other Mishaps Few—Fire- men Spend Quiet Day. afest and sanest” Fourth of July in the memory of Washington passed into history yesterday. Only two accidents due to fireworks, nei- ther of them serious, were reported to the police, and not a single blaze from that cause called the fire department from their unusual holiday repose. Despite the fact that the highway leading to and from Washington were packed from morning until night with motorists pleasure bound to seaside and mountain resorts, no more than an average summer Sunday’s toll of accidents was taken. The only re- corded fatality of the day was that of Mrs. Cordelia Syphax, colored, of 208 S street northwest The Car Turnx Turtle. Mrs. Syphax was killed on the Mary- land state road about three miles be- low Bryantown, Charles county, when the automobile in which she was a passenger turned turtle.

Two Accidents Here. Two traffic accidents were reported in Washington. Adolph Dumont, fifty- vears old, of Maryland Park, was Struck by an automobile near Seat Pleasant. Dumont has but one leg and could not dodge the car in time and that member was machine driven by an Ill’udrnl\'lul person at 30th street and P’ennsyl- vania avenue. No one was injured. Only twice during the day heard the wailing sirens and clan ing bells of the fire apparatus rush- ing at top speed to blazes. In neither instance was the fire serious or due to fireworks. One was in the home of Isaac Washing- ton, colored, in Hillsdale. The other, due to a ort circuit in electric wires, was an automobile owned by John J. Marshall, 918 Delaware ave- nue. Marshall's left hand was slightly burned when he tried to extinguish the flames himself. One of the accidents caused by fire- works resulted in Lena Kline, six years old. of 43712 10th street north- Wwest, sustaining burns to her head and back when her clothing was ignited by a “harmless” sparkleg After being treated at mergency Hospital she was sent home. Dorothy Pinkne four years old, of 218 Indi» ana avenue, had her right arm burned She, too, was treated at Emergency Hospital and sent home. JOHN L. CONNOR DEAD. Former D. C.

About 600 persons, princi- pally teachers who came to Washing- ton to attend the copclave of the na- tion’s educators attended. Miss Anna Laura Force, vice pres- ident of the National Education Asso- ciation of Denver, presided, and laid on the crypt of Woodrow Wilson's tomb a beautiful wreath, “in the name of the teachers and children of America.” ey Tn_Australia there are at least 20 species of animals that are aviators —flying _squirrels, flying opossums, flying mice and even flying bears. a sunset gun and lowering of the colors.

It’s sad to see a lovely maid who might adorn a drawing room, take up the bandit’s bootless trade, and all his penalties assume. The bandit lady might proceed along a safer, saner way, and sell the works of Myrtle Reid, the stately tones of Bertha Clay. But such a pathway is obscure it draws no space in public prints; the restless maiden can’t endure a pathway where no limelight glints. And so she takes her little gat and tries the robber’s age-old game; she works a night or two thereat the country’s ringing with her fame. No doubt it's pass- ing sweet to recad the morning papers with their tale of how she pulled a daring deed and robbed a grocer of his kale. No doubt it gives the maid a thrill to read how cops are breaking backs to gather in the dauntless Jill who takes the coin of trembling Jacks. So for a time the bandit belle pursues her graft be- neath the stars; but just ahead'’s the prison cell, with walls of stone and rusty bars. And there she’ll wear her youth away, all sad of heart and heavy-eyed, there in her dungeon grim and gray, while happy people play outside. Outside the pnson walls of stone glad girls will ride in motor cars; and she’ll be weeping there alone, her fingers on the rusty bars. (Copyright.) WALT MASON. —_— .
