record is far from complete, at least
7.738 persons were Injured and 30
*" were killed during the celebration of
v the 4th of July with fireworks, bon
Z fires and accessory diversions. A
study made by the American Museum
■ of Safety in New York City of the
3.000 injuries from fireworks disclosed
that 2.800 required medical attention
and that 2,500 were sufficiently severe
to require hospital treatment. In 24
instances there was lass of one eye,
not to mention 104 other serious eye
Injuries."

. sentiment would operate "to decrease
If not eliminate the annual blight."
• Hope for a "safe and sane" 4th of
• July was voiced yesterday by Eigineer
Commissioner Dan I. Sultan.
"While we are celebrating." he said,
“we all must try to remember all the

1 thoughtlessness of some one else."’
Dr. R. Lyman Sexton, chairman of
first aid and life saving. District of
Columbia Chapter, American Red
-- Croas, also Warned the public against
t carelessness. He pointed out that the

- drowning, traffic accidents, ivy poison
; lng and sunburn.
More than 4.290 Americans have
been killed by flrpworks during the
- past 30 years,” he said. "These

Style Whim Denied
Cause of Failures
Of Textile Firms
Fashion Experts Insist
Plants Did Not See
Changes Coming.
>J the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June S7.—An asser
tion that changes In women's styles
had "virtually wrecked the business
of many New England textile plants”
drew fire today from New York stylists.
The fashion authorities tossed the
ball back to their accusers by saying,
“If that is true, the plants are re
sponsible—they must have fallen
asleep on their job of learning in ad
vance what styles will be good and
making up a line to fit the need."
The concensus was, "If their busi
ness was wrecked, it's because they
weren’t quick enough to see a change
on the way.”
George M. Ruth, New York sales
agent tor textile firms, said most of
the successful plants in America now
have fashion authorities in New York,
keeping in touch with style trends so
as to forestall losses through turning
out unwanted materials.
The charge that Dame Fashion’s
whims had nearly wrecked many New
England textile plants' business was
made by Frederic C. Dumaine, treas
| urer of the Amoskeag Manufacturing
| Co. of Manchester, N. H. this week
before a master in Federal Court.

LOS ANGELES, June 27.—What
appeared for a time to be a disagree
ment between Aime Semple McPher
son and her assistant. Miss Reba
Crawford, was explained today by the
blond evangelist as her desire to
avoid "a misunderstanding" in con
nection with Miss Crawford's political
speeches.
Rumors of a rift appeared when
the evangelist's attorney sent letters
to persons criticized by Miss Craw
ford in her radio talks, explaining
that she was not representing Angelus
Temple.
"My only Interest in the matter,"
said the evangelist. "Is that there
be no confusion or misunderstanding
with regard to the separate entity
of Miss Crawford, the associate pastor,
and Miss Crawford, the political
speaker.”
Miss Crawford in reply professed
amusement and said her associate
pastorate in Angelus Temple still has
18 months to run under her contract.
