HOW TO MAKK +H? FOURTH OF JULY BAF* AND BANS (A uiemago from I.ewlu H. Garrls, Managing Director. National Socletj for the Prevention of Blindness.) At this tithe) each year, parent* need to be reminded of the large number of deaths and serious Injuries which occur among children an the result of accidents from fireworks during the celebration of Independence Day. Every mother and father can participate in the campaign to make the Fourth of July really safe an dsaue. An increasing number of cities and states are regulating the sale of firecrackers and toy explosives. But the ultimate responsibility for the preven tion of accidents lies with parents, as individuals and as members of the commvnlty. There are now In American school? for the blind nearly five hundred chll dreu who lost their sight through ac cldents of all kinds, including those resulting from the use of firework? and toy guns. Each year uearly h thousand children suffer accidental eye injuries, and a number become totally blind. An extraordinary pro portion of those accidents occur on the Fourth of July or the few day? preceding und following. 8oinewhere In America there are several healthy and happy children who will die because of fireworks uccidonts during tho next few weeks. Hundreds of other children will bo badly mutilated, some of them blinded In one or both eyes. This happened last year and it will happen again this year unless you and your neigh; bora do something to stop this needless slaughter. No one can know in advance whose children will be the victims this year. They may be your childron or your neighbors. There is no such thing as safe and sane fireworks; even so-called "harmless sparklers" have killed or injured many children. There will be no sufe and Bane Fourth until it Is impossible for u little child to buy or otherwise secure fireworks of any kind. The National Socioty for the Prevention of Blindness advocates more widespread adoption of the idea of community colebrations which include pyrotechnic exhibitions under export supervision on tho Fourth of July. The society also offers those suggestions to parents: Use no fireworks and make it Impossible for your children to use fireworks before or after fhe Fourth of July. If you do use fireworks on the Fourth of July, do not permit little children to handle them. There is no such thing as safe firework? for little children. Deaths have been caused by so-called harmless sparklers and by other apparently "harmless" fireworks.

MoCarley, Is when they are two to three month* old. Chicken pox and roup are likely to occur tu any flock aud for this reason It Is advisable to vaccinate. Four precautions to take in vacoiuatlug are suggested by the county agent ou the authority of P. H, Ooodlug, extension poultry man. Use fresh scab material In making virus. Soabs that have been removed from heade of chickens over ten days snd not kept In a refrigerator may not give good results. Thoroughly mix powdered scab material with water about oue hour before using and do not keep more than ten hours. Do not confine pullets after vaccinating. Oive them a range with !<'** of shade. Do not vaccinate birds suffering from diseases or parasitic infestation, or heavy losses may occur. Delay vaoclnatlon until the birds have completely recovered from the disease or, are free from the parasitlo infestation.'
