1 proclamation will be issued within e
few days and Is expected to carry a
, Icqucst for a sane observance o the
holiday, but no repetition of his request
of last year for a noiseless celebration
la expected.
JTho usual police rule limiting the
jStze of firecrackers and the character
of the explosives with which they are
ponded has already been distributed to
the various station houses and passed
.qn to the dealers In fireworks. Mori
" than 1700 dealers have been communi
cated with by the police In their efforts
to safeguard the lives of those eclcbrat--In
the holiday.

Research Bulletin Issued
The Bureau of Municipal Research
"has Issued a bulletin condemning the
Bale of fireworks and urging the issuance
of an order prohibiting such sales. The
bulletin says, in part
"Last year it was widely advertised
'that the number of accidents occurring
I as a result of the Fourth of July cele
bration showed a marked decrease over
previous years. 'The better sense of
the community prevailed,' so says the
newspaper notice, and while there was
more noise, more waste of gunpowder
and more accidents than there should
have been, still the Fourth of 1018 was
on improvement. No credit in this mat
ter can be taken by our city govern
ment, for the police order covering the
sale of fireworks was rescinded at the
last minute. To review the scandal con
nected with the rescinding of that order
is not the point here, but a glance at
the newspapers of June 20 and 22 of
1918 will help to freshen the memory.
"This year, in view of the end of the
"war, the noisiest Fourth of July in his
tory is prophesied. The fireworks deal
ers arc fully stocked with explosives
and are expecting large sales for the
great celebration. And no official ac
tion toward restriction has been taken!
Are we going backward? Are we go
ing to increase our long list of casual
ties? Are we going to have more fires,
more deaths, more little children in our
hospitals?
i "If not, once again we must tely on
too 'tetter sense of the community.
Before it is too late let us make provi
sion for a sane celebration."
Prince Ange, of the royal house of
Denmark, who is in this country on a
visit, during the course of which ho
will come to Philadelphia, has already
became a devotee of the ancient and
honorable Amcrlcnn Indoor pastime
poker.
Many kronen, kopeks, or whatever It
Is they use In Denmark, have been
changed for good American money and
in this form spent hy the royal visitor
to learn that three deuces do not beat
three nucens. nnd thnt it is equally
f jollsh to back n Hush or straight against
a "full hand," held by nn opponent.
The prince nrrived in New lork yes
terday aboard the transpoit America.
He cahght his first glimpse of the na
tional game on the way over. Army
officers plajlng cards and wagering mys
terious red, white or blue chips exer
cised n fascination over him, and final
ly he asked to be shown the game.
He was shown. And the stacks of
mysterious chips before the officers in
creased amazingly, much to the detri
ment of the kopeks, kronen or some
thing else mentioned before.
Hut backed by the roynl treasury of
Denmark nnd all its mysterious coins,
Prince Aage prescvercd and boforu the
America docked was "bettin' two" and
"just callin' " with the best in the
party.
The mysteries of jack pot, opening,
staying, rojal flushes nnd other things
devotees of the popular indoor sport are
versed in, are now like an open hook
to the royal visitor. Like many others,
lie paid for his education.

has been in a weakened condition for
months as the result of a cerebral oper

save her.

After fighting in France for several
months nnd making a good record gen
erally, John McGrnth, of Qermantown,
was nrrested today, charged with em

aenue, McGrnth collected SI J for coal
delivered in November, 1017, and failed
to return the money. McGrnth snid he
had five dnjs pay coming to him nt

up for the money withheld.
At a hearing before Magistrate Pen-
nock the prisoner said he offered to re

fused. McGrath's mother also testi
fied that nn offer to return the money
was not accepted. This was denied by
Riekard. McGrnth was held in $400
bail for court.

Thought
Delineator families eat
1 9 J2 tons of California
raisins every day thanks to
advertising. When the raisin
growers' advertising started,
in 1914, the total California
crop of raisins was 98,000
tons, and there was a big
carry-over. In 1917 the crop
was 163,000 tons and it was
sold out six months before
the next crop had matured.
