tion. was sounded today by Chief of

erty might, be at stake through care
lessness of this kind through injuries
n> persons and the possible starting of
.ires, the chief said.
While it is a violation ul ihe law
to explode fireworks in toe city, and
while the police will endeavor to mak
ariesta wherever they* can determine
definitely that tin 1 law D being violat
ed, special efforts will be cone mitral- j
ed on the shopping section of Gar I
nett street, it was explained, as a
protection to crowds that will be on !
hand there from this time on to the
Christmas holiday' itself.
Chief tiHiigslon oiled the instance
of a child who put a firecracker in a
Dottle, set the bottle on the stov. and
then lighled hte fuse. The explosion
that followed shattered glass all over
the room, and probably the only’- thing
that saved a smaller child In the room
from serious injury was that, its back
was turned at. the time.
