New Americans Learn with Age How to Have a Safe and Sane Fourth. bt Mr. Bulletin: For celebrate the Fourth T like for write letter on the editor, which is popular and respectable indoor sport for somebody got nothing else for do, I notice. It is also quite safe method for celebrate if you no live on the same town with the editor. I am not s0_sure if it is sane. It make twenty year since I come on this country from Belleville, P, Q. ang all that year got a Fourth of July, some of it two or three, which depend on what kind of an appetite some man got for celebrate and how he exercise him. First year I find him out some Eng- lish fellow who like for make taxation without representation is to blame for make a war which finally grow into Fourth of July in 1776, and the dis- covery been very popular ever since. Everybody celebrate, even if he have to kill somebody by play with a gun. It is a great day! Plenty peoples come here since the Mayflower make his last trip, but no- body like to celebrate more than the other one even if somebody don’'t show it 80 much. I been see some night before the Fourth which look like a battle of all nation—everybody doing it, lots of it having representation without taxation, about which nobody going to kick. Fellow who come last week from Schwarzburg-Rudalstadt just as anx- lous for shot you in the feets with blank bullet as fan who been here ten year from Catania and is satisty with the number 6f mans he has kill. Allahabad native is just as strong for make a small imitation of war as mans from Foster Center, and more dan gerous about him. Nobody miss a chance like this for shot a friend either with bullet ball or high ball, which is favorite sport on Fourth for some fellow got the price. High ball no make such a plenty noise as bul- let ball, but some fellow who celebrate with him drop just the same. Next morning he think somebody been shoot him in the head. But we got some change of idea for pass Fourth of July in past few year. It is now much safer if you stay on your house all day and your town own good fire deparfment. Wise and prudent native family put on glorious flag to his house, which Is true sign of patriotism, and hide from patriots of Sao Paulo, Magdeburg, Bucharest anq Yekaterinoslav, who lose finger, toe, eve, leg and head for make a celebration like it used to was. < Fif- teen year from now that celebrator going to hide too, if somebody try to celebrate by shot at him, but he will be_better American just the same.

Incipient fire ieff from the burning over process gets sturt down low among the mass of stuff and is fanned into quite a bl.&zi i in time. Then adjoining property endangered by firé, and some one of the fire companies is called to exe inguish the fire. The volunteer fire« men are compelled to dig over the ush and get at the fire, which mean) a class of work that they could noff be hired to perform, and which is nof in the regular line. of fire duty. If has been proven time and again thal this particular dumping ground is n only an -unmitigated nulsance, b also a serious fire danger element, is evidenced by the frequent cali o the firemen to the dumping ground. This being so it is perhaps up to thi chief engineer, acting as state fi marshal, to see to it, that the place by abandoned as a dumping ground by reason of its contiguity to buildingi that are constantly endangered, Th marshal has fire control over the back yards and cellars, yes and even resi dences, and why not a_ dumping { ground. If Health Officer Black pery sists that the dumping ground is no{ a confounded nulsance, from . thd standpoint of health, then it may be up to State Fire Marshal Stanners, | chief engineer of the New Londom | fire department to order its discontin~ uance as a fire menace. Should such 3 | thing come to pass, it many be that Dr. Black will sense the real situation and cooperate with Chief Stanners in abating the nuisance that has been forcibly endured by the residents of the vicinity for the past two years. True, the made land brings coin to the pockets of the owners, who by the way, are not residents of the | section, h has, of course, nothing | to do with the inactivity of -the health committee in regard to the nuisance | and health and fire menace. There are fenc New London | that should be demolished, but t° y are not of the kind that divides, .t | rather recelves property—property that has been stolen. This particular kind of fence usually consists of bearded men who collect junk from house to house and do a business on the side with boy who dispose of stolen brass and other metals far be- low the prevailing market prices. The | proprietors of junk shops use some discretion and judgment when making purchases of boys, but do not draw the iine with the junk coliectors, which explains the reason why the { wise young thieves do business with nz with the horse and cart. | metals and wire ropes that come their Way under suspicious conditions and 1 that reason .much of the stolen | property cannot be traced. During the present ' evidently of the juvenile order, |ited an unocupied manufacturin plant and stole a large cable that ha been taken down and ready for ship- ment, and stripped the big engine of all its brass work, unscrewing the oil icups and valves and everything else | that could be carried away and con- verted into cash from the junkmen's money bags. The local police have in | times gone by traced stolen property | to junk shops direct and in many in- | stances caused the legal punishment ! of the offenders and with lasting re- | sults, as now nearly all the proprie- ! tors of junk shops have no direct in- | terest with thieves from a business | standpoint. Now attention is Dbeing | given to the junk collectors and after | Some of these, of the unscrupulous { type, are placed behind the bars or { heavily fined, there will be a break in the fence that encourages the thiev { ishly inclined bo¥s to steal with little | pecuni. gain_for lemselives Tith bik proft for the fellows that re colve the stolen goods. Some day, some boy will be arrested for theft, and squeal on the fellow who en- couraged the crime. Then there will be effective steps taken to break up that class of thievery. The day can | come none too oon, and the police iare on the trial of the boy that will i tell the full story of the crime and in- criminate the junk collector. —_— TATENTS | Protect your idess.
