Ya R HE MESSE OMIT FIREWORKS mininin unnnm uuiiiuu uuLiuniu UNPATRIOTIC AND ILL TIMED SAYS COMMISSIONER JAS. R. YOUNG. SHOULD BURN NO, MONEY Fireworks Made of Materials Most Needed In Prosecution of War Should Enforce Laws. i The attention of tbe North Carolina Insurance Department has been called I to the fact that fireworks manufac turers are appealing to officials of . Southern cities and towns which have laws forbidding or limiting the use of fireworks to lift the ban for the com- ; lng holiday season under the plea that It will take the form of patriotic cele bration. It is sincerely to be hoped j that no officials of North Carolina towns or cities will listen to this plea. At a time when every energy of State and Nation is directed toward the conservation of every resource for the prosecution of the war and the conduct of the National defense it Is 111 timed, to say the least, to call for demonstration under the guise of pa- triotism which involves the burning of money invested in fireworks, made of I the material most needed for the prose i cution of the war. I This one fact is enough to cause patriotic city officials to turn a deaf J ear to the plea of the fireworks manu facturers. But when records of th ; past are brought up showing the mll- I lions of dollars of losses from fires in this country caused from careless handling of fireworks the plea presents the appearance of being out of all reason. To the man or woman of partiotic impulse there can be no doubt that the only place where Amer ican fireworks can have any place in the observance of Christmas in this year of 1917 is "over there." The only American official who should encour age allow or direct the handling of fireworks is General John J. Pershing "or his duly appointed agents." An insurance magazine of recent date discussing this plant has the fol lowing to say: "Of course these manufacturers have but one selfish purpose in view that they themselves may wax rich from the sale of their unwelcome and un necessary goods. They are not really patriotic, and they have very foolish Ideas indeed if they think that all that patriotism requires is for the public to shamefully spend their good money for lire crackers and explosives that may burn and cripple end maim peo ple. Patriotism is made of much terner stuff. "In past yean, business, social and civic organizations have urged 'safe and sane' Christmases. Each year the holiday has become 'safer and saner' and thousands of dollars worth of property and many lives have been saved as a result. Many cities and towns passed stringent laws against the wholesale and indiscriminate dis charge of fireworks. The good accom plished has been apparent. "If safe celebrations of Christmas were desirous in peace times, how much more should this idea prevail now that our country is at war. Fire works require material that is used In making gunpowder for our guns. Our allies need all the war munitions they can get. How much more pa triotic these fireworks manufacturers would be if they used their plants, labor and material in supplying the necessary needs across the ocean. "As President Wilson said, this Is a time when all America should work and pull together. To discharge fire- . works this Christmas is working into the hands of the enemy by endanger ing lives and property, exhausting ex plosives recklessly, and accomplish ing no real good. "it is honed that all municipalities and store dealers win recognize ineir duty to their country, and not to a few fireworks manufacturers. This Is a time when every real American will show his devotion to 'old Glory and not endanger its resources and people. "In the South there are thousands of bales of cotton, concentrated more or less, and much of It is uncovered. A spark from a firecracker may set it ablaze. It has happened before when fireworks were permitted." FIRES IN TEMPORARY ABSENCE. Attention is being called to the fre quency of fires in dwellings Just tem porarily xinoccupied cases of the usual occupants being away for a few days, or for a few hours at the movies, to witness some street attraction, calls on neighbors, etc. Most such fires have a first-off sus picious look, for an incendiary knows the value of an alibi; but many of this sort are the result of crass care lessness. Furnaces and stoves are loaded up so the fire will last, lamps are left burning, drying clothes too near heat, and other foolishness. Often premises are left with young children and sometimes they are locked in to J their incineration from clothing catch i tag fire or to perish with the building, ; whatever causes its burning. I In the present demand for the earn ings cf t!ie adults of families, both sexes, the child custody of dwelling Is Hkely to increase. GERMANY'S CHRISTMAS TOYS Calculated to Instil the Spirit of Ruthlessness Duluth Herald. The war isn't going to abolish Christmas in Germany. But it won't be Christmas as usual; it will be a militaristic Christmas, which is being taken advantage of by the ' military rulars of Germany to im plant their ideals of an iron, rurn less military spirit in the minds of German children; in preparation, apparently, not only for the next war but for tne war after tnat. Paul Scott Mowrer, one of the Eu ropean correspondents of the Chi caero News, has recently had an op nnrtunitv to look oevr some of the toys that have ibeen prepared for the German Christmas, and he tells about them in a copyrighter cable trram to the News. Here are some of them: Savings banks labelled "Conscien tious Bertha" shaped to imitate the famous 42-centimeter howitzer; jig saw puzzles and blocks showing bat tie scenes, with the Germans invari ably overwhelming the foes of kul tur. papier-machine babies giving military salute and singing . 'Die W;acht am Rheim" as tbjey burst from colored eggshells; toy barbed wire entanglements; toy trenches; toy cannon; lead soldiers without number. There are armed civilians labell ed "franetireous" (snipers) who are supposed to represent the "crimes" of Belgium." A franctireur is what you woull be, Mr. Householder, if there were a German invasion, if the German hosts wdre abusing youjr family and destroying your property and you used a gun in defending them. There are German machine-,guns companies; German infantry charg ing. German hospital units with plenty of bloodjy Uandages and patients; sets of fugitive French in fantry and of French and English prisoners of war; dead and wound ed Russians in every condortion of agony. Theire are war games in vast variety, all designed to implant the military spirit in the minds of the little children of JGerm(any. One game consists of 52 cards, to be played with something like the old' HE ETTS HIS ENERGY FOR NOTHING WILSON 10 SCAN ARMY COURTS 8y the Associated Press. Washington, Dec . 29 President Wilson has prohibited the execution on any more American soldiers ex cept in General Pershing's com mand until he hais reviewjed the cases. Heretofore this has not been ne cessary in war time, but the presi dent has made the rule that he may be doubly sure. ; Thirteen negro trotopers of the 24th infantry were recently exe cuted for rioting at Houston, Texas, without review at Washington. No fault has been found in the court or verdict, but it has been decided to review al sentences hereafter. RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION FOR THE KIDNEYS For many years druggists have watched with much interest the re markable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid ney, liver and bladder medicine.

"Ger - man 'blood and iron' propoganda is being carried into every recreation of childhood." And of all times, at Christmas, and in a country that professes to be Christian but that seems somehow to have made a mis take about that.

The story of what happened when the kaiser's armies retired from the No- von salient is familar to everybody by now. Never in history has vranton destruction been carried to more fiendish length: And this hor ror is being celebrated in Germany this Christmas by giving the chil dren toys representing it! "This Christmas," says Mr. Mowrer, "the boys and girls of the fatherland in their nurseries may imitate the battlefield exploits of their fathers and older brothers. I examined a whole collection of inexpensive toy ruins made of some plaster com position and ingeniously colored to represent the debris of incendiarism, ranging from the modest shattered cottages to the pretension of smoke- blackened chateaux.

The open fireplace is responsible for a pretty fair share pf the preventable fire waste of our State and of the loss of life by fire. During the year 1916, over $10,000 damage was caused by this menace, and from present indica tions the loss from this cause will be much larger in 1917. Statistics are not available for showing how many deaths were chargeable to the open grate in 1916, but the number le con siderable. Many farm houses have large fire- nlao.ea in which the ctmsllAr lnern and other wood ound about the farm art burned. Due to the shortage of coal year- the use of wood for fuel m b even more neraL Wood, when burning, has a tendency to pop and 1 throw sparks in every direction. Oft entlmes these flaming particles of wood are conveyed to surrounding in flammatory material, and fire results. Then there Is always the possibility that children, playing about the open fire, may. get so close to the flame that clothes are ignited, and the loss of life i or serious injury is likely to result To conform to all the rules of safety, open fireplaces should be provided with good substantial metal screens, wmca snouiu ue arrangeu bo as 10 encircle the exposed portion of the fireplace. In addition to the screen, extra precautions should also be taken to see that a brick flooring extends a sufficient distance away from the grate so that any burning wood which may fall from the fireplace will do no tage.
