A JOINT FUND.

Having decided to join hands in the furtherance of their war work, the Knights of Columbus and the Young Mems Christian Association will find more responsive public in this gen. erous undertaking. Also, they will eliminate much waste of labor In going over the same ground here, 1t would be but natural that the can- vassers for the two separate and dis tir1t funds should cross each other. They would then annoy rather than smooth the feelings of those who are already burdened with war responsi- bilities. By a joint effort they will, or should, realize their ambitions much sooner than would be other wise possible.

THE WORD IS IN THE DICr1ON-
 AIRY.

Az we have become familiar with Inc definition of the word, Hospital means an institution for the recep ton, care, and medical treatment of the sick or wounded. Formerly the word indicated a place of hospitality for those who were in need of shelter or maintenance. That usage. of course, was in the broader sense. Later we have come to look upon hospital as a place where medical aid can be obtained, where strangers or xuests are treated with the same gen. serous kindness. Even a home may be turned into a hospital in case of emergency.
 On second sober thought, as Presi- dent Wilson might say, we must be | little bit old fashioned. Either that, or New Britain has jumped several bounds ahead of it's time. For here on Main street Thursday, in the very heart of the city. was witnessed a scene which proved beyond peradven- ture of a doubt that hospital Is a term very much misused or abused by public officials in this vicinity. And this without any reflection what soever on the institution known as our general hospital. That is be- yond the pale of this discussion
 The story and the facts are these:-
 Michael F. Sullivan, a jitneur, was called Thursday afternoon to Plain vile for fare. Upon his arrival sick unto death, to New Britain for medical treatment. Being of sympa- thetic nature, MT. Sullivan compiled He did more. He made all possible haste to secure aid. Upon his arriva here he was baffled. He first sough aid from the Board of Charities There, after meeting Superintendent Hart, he was informed that nothing could be done for the poor unfortu nate outside in the public convey Ance. So, undaunted MT. Sullivan sought surcease elsewhere. He drove to Police Headquarters. There ht met with another rebuff. Sergean 13amforth politely but firmly told him thore was no place there in which . man could die, so long as the police ' department had anything to do witt it. Also, the police ambulance coult not Oo pressed into service to carr!

Nicest delicacy combined with steely-nerved skill is necessary to the execution of these duties promptly and efficiently. Signals to life boats are vital. In a tossing sea, now high, now low,
 floating objects are not easily kept in
 view. Instantly the cry Is heard ae signal-boy jumps to the rail. Not for moment does he take his eyes off
 the man. When lfeboat heaves in sight he signals right or left, out or in to the coxswain until the buoy is caught.
 At all times men are stationed aft to drop life buoys in case the one on the bridge is too far away. On 500 foot warship man may fall quar- ter of mile away from. the nearet buoy-no small task in combers for even a good swimmer. At night car-
 bide lights attached to the ring help him find it.
 In places like Hampton Roads where the tide is swift life boats are ready even at anchor. During the night an anchor watch crew is dress
 ed and available at all times. =. At sea life boats are kept ready for quick release. Provisions, water, life belts, and other equipment, arel provided in case squalls or sudden ar | rivals of the enemy force a separa- 1 ton from the mother ship. Rigid in-I spection of life boats and muster of

 that his life boat was not manned
 smartly enough at man-overboara l drill. Whereat he proclaimed spe- 1 cial furlough for the 12 men first in' 1 the boat at next man-overboard.
 Four days later the alarm came. Half the deck force fought for the l prize. Boat falls carried away. In
 stead of one there were five men
 overheard. Cries of the dead and dy-'
 ing were lost in the roar of individual
 combat. The experiment was not re-
 peated. A regular crew was detailed,
 and furlough taken away if they don't 1speed up.

 Never before have pennies been as popular as they are today, not even in the days of childhood when to be the proud possessor of shiny cop per meant evident wealth. Hereto fore pennies have been a despieed part of a persons pocket money. They disliked to carry them and generally worked them of in change, pur- chased newspapers. matches, chewing gum or anything else they did not particularly want in order to be rid of the jingling pennies. Previously a number of coppers in the pocket of father, mother, brother, sister oE, elderly friend generally meant an i'm mediate increase in the little bank of the younger generation, but now the little tin bank will suffer.

 secretaries and field equipment to the
 various cantonments throughout this land, and to the battle-felds of Eu- rope. They are, in Christian way. furnishing the young men of the na- tional army and the veterans of the regular army with good, clean enter tainment. Also. they are providing facilities for study and means of willing away hours that might be spent in insipid distractions. The men at the front are in need of every help along these lines. While there have been many demands upon the people of New Britain in the past, they will certainly prepare to give generously to this fund when the is put on in earnest during the week of November II.

No cry aboard ship more deeply af- fleets it's hearers.
 In 1908 a typhoon exploded In the China sea, spread northwards and eastwards. plungtng and tearing across the foam ribbed mountains of water 1t left in it's devastated wake. Full in the path of the storm steamed the American fleet, then on its cruise around the world.
 The darkest hour of the tempest enveloped our warships in impen- etraole gloom. Captains .clung to their bridge rails. Suddenly two red lights flashed on the ship ahead. A man was overheard. At once all ships repeated the signal, stopped, sheered out and turned on searchlights- if they were in the calm of Chesapeake Bay instead of in a foul typhoon.
 There was no disorder. Illumin- ated life belts were dropped. The man caught one. held, and hoated in the beam of a searchlight. Boats were made ready for lowering. But no boat could have lived ten seconds in that raging ocean.
 Signals passed. The third captain backed and turned, not an easy task "1IA 0NO4y OLAoE SSA SO1l1B C160n over the bridge 53 feet above the water line. But he succeeded.

 At man-overboard the officer of the deck must think of six things at once First he must stop his engines lest the giant propellers make hash o1 the man.

Autos Blocked Traffic on Winter as.d
 BlEelow Streets.

blRe1OW SCTCOtSs y
 Complaints relative to obstructina of traffic were received by the police in two instances yesterday and inves- tigations were at once made with pos. sible results in the future. It Is said that vehicles were left standing in tho street in manner to inconvenience other traffic.
 In one instance Edward Horwitz, chauffeur for Gordon Brothers, ex- plained that an auto truck belonging to Landers, Frary & Clark was block. ing the Winter street walk and com. plaint was also received from Morris Gordon to the effect that . truck and pleasure car wae~ found blocking Bigelow street in the vicinity of Lines storage house. Both complaints wera investigated by Onicer Mccarthy.
 An interesting coincidence in the Winter street complaint is that short while ago Horwitz left a truck blocking the trAflc on Commercial, , street and went home to dinner.e Complaint was made by President Charles F. Smith Of Landers. Frary & Clark and Horwitz's arrest followed for violation of the city ordinance.
