COAL MINE DISASTERS.

While the coal mine disaster in Pennsylvania in which a hundred or l more lives were lost has indicated that the danger in which the miner Is working is always present it also makes plain that none of the organ ized efforts which are being made to better the conditions of the mines and the miners can be neglected. Much progress is being made in this direc- ton but the problem has by no means been completely solved. or the dam ger eliminated until every mining company does its utmost to provide for the safety of it's employees. The least laxity in conforming with re- quirements which experience has dem- onstrated are necessary should not
 be countenanced.
 Although there has been a steady
 improvement in mine safety condi-
 tions since 1907 and a particularly
 notable one the past year a still great
 CT decrease can be effected. In 1912
 there were 2360 deaths in coal mines compared with 2719 in 1911 and this in spite of the fact that in 1912 there
 were more men employed in the mines
 and more coal mined than in any pre-
 vious year. This is evidence of the
  half of better conditions. Whether this year will show that the precau-
 tions have served to further diminish
 the deaths in mines will depend to a large extent upon the assiduity with which efforts for safety are pushed. The government. mine owners and miners can work together effectively to this end, and nothing points ont the need of it more than a mine disaster. COUNTY IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE.
 For the purpose of getting united and cooperative effort to work for the best results in a community. there has been instituted in Hampden cour
 ty Massachusetts. a county improve ment league. in which not only the entire county but the state and na- tional agricultural departments will unite for hettering conditions It Is founded on similar lines to the or ganizat tion in Bennineten county, Vt, of which the Springfield Union says The league has shown them how much their lives may be bettered by practical cooperation and the seed that was sown has fallen on produc- tive ground. The governments coun- ty worker has shown the people how to build rOS0S so that the HTSI Hdlu rains will not wash them away, how to drain their swamp lands and make them productive, what crops to plant and how to plant them, how to pack, ship and market their produce, what kind of stock to buy and how to take care of it. The league has helped the farmers organize themselves into lit tie groups that buy blooded stock for the common use of the members, it has shown them how they can save money by buying their commercial fertilizer materials in large quantities and mixing them according to formu lac furnished by the government. how to organize so that their social life becomes more congenial and their edu- cationa1 advantages improved
 Cooperation is one of the greatest forces any section can have and what has been accomplished in Vermont can be done elsewhere. There is need of just such influences in every coun ty as the Vermont experiment has demonstrated.

LETTERS TO HE,EDITOR.
The City Beautiful.

MT Editor: I have been reading about the city beautiful quite a .leaI lately, and it would seem as if the public works committee the court of common council would be helping some If they would take Falls avenue n hand. There Is blacksmith shop down that way on city land, I understand, rented by F. J. O'Connor, who in turn rents it to other parties
 Now, Mir. Editor, if this is correct. we would like to know just what part of Falls avenue goes with the land rented to store old wagons, and what belongs to the public and how much hent the city derives from the land so occupied It Is a beautiful sight in the way of old and decrepit wagons, bat not much in the way of a city beauti- ful.

1 Progress in the work of the uni versity crew has been outlined by l Coach T. O. Rodgers as satisfactory, in l spite of rough water during the past few weeks. But little difficulty was
 experienced in the early days on the water in changing from swivel locks 1 to thole pins or in changing from cen 1 ter to side seating. While the third crew has been broken up to allow it's members to row with their respective class crews, the competition for seats in the university crew is not confined to members of the first and second boats. Men in the class crews are still considered available. The senior class has been late in getting boat together but the First Junior and First Sophomore crews have shown prom
 ise of developing into first class eights by May 10, the date of the spring re- gatta. At present the sophomore crew
 with C. Bennitt at stroke seems to be moving as fast as the two univer- sity eights.
 Last week the First and Second
 university crews had short race of three minutes in which the second crew gained somewhat at a slower stroke The second boat appeared
 steadier forward and seemed to get more distance in the water with their
 blades, but the inboard work of the first and their finish were far superior te that of the second crew"
 Numerous shifts are being made from one boat te the other, but the rowing is on the whole encouraging.

Writing as a Vale graduate and as New Havens superintendent of trees, George A. Cromie has explained to the News just what the city is doing to replace its old elms, a large number of which have been removed, with much accompanying outcry from the Green this spring.
 Although New Haven has nearly. 30,000 street trees. most of which are in good condition" Superintendent Cromie says. tits residents. especially 1 those connected with Yale university, are particularly interested in anything done to the old veterans within a short distance of the Central Green, i and these have suffered the most in

 ment and water. closed pavements. overhead wires and leaking gas have all taken their toll, but the loss from 1 all these causes combined has been ] less than by insects, The planting | of the Central Green was delayed un- i til it was evident that the old trees l could not recover and it is< now being | replanted with the very best nursery grown e!ms that could be secured in ] the eastern states
