New Britain herald., 1917-03-03

permits . person to recover unlimit- ed medical and hospital bills. This phrase was interjected two years ago. by Senator Klett who believed that . man injured At his work was entitled to full medical treatment in return. x.
 Senator Barnes of Norwich has in- ttroduced a bill into the legislature that would apply to New Britain as much as any other city in the state. It prohibits the manager of any mov- ing picture theater from selling more tickets than he has seats to accommo- date the holders. If this passes 1t would surely create much trouble as in these days of continuous perform ances, when people are entering and leaving the theater all the time. 1t will be nightly hard to keep an accurate account of how many vacant seats there are.
 During the past week the legislative committee on military affairs was suddenly confronted with the question of how cities and towns would be pros tected in case of emergency if. the militia was away on duty. A most pertinent question and the calling out of the militia here a week ago fur-I nishes an illustration of one emergen- cy. The committee on military affairs might do we'll to look to New Britain for one possible solution. The New Britain Rifle club, when fully organ ized and equipped, might well be ex- pected to serve faithfully as home guard It could certainly enroll many men who have no desire for governmental military activity. but who would gladly rally to the defense of city and home in the role of q ''home guardsman.'' There Is no doubt but what such an organization would be an asset to the community.
 Among tho rare specimens such as radium, platinum. diamonds. etc, New Britain might include potatoes and of- flee boys. Judging from experiences in this ofiice the latter arc now an almost extinct species. Due to the rather ab- normal labor conditions youngsters who heretofore would have made bright office boys. with ''great oppor- tunities to begin at the bottom of the ladder and work up' are nonentittes.
  Milk dealers have advertised . boost in price to eleven cents per quart. due to the high cost of living. They aiso offer nine quarts for a dollar. Even less of an inducement to the pur- chaser than the advertisement, "col- lars. 15 cents each, or six for ninety certs."

The New Britain Fire.
(Meriden Record).


 Genuine sympathy and regret must be felt for New Britain because of the peculiarly unfortunate features of the disastrous fire of Wednesday eve- ming.
 It would be bad enough to ex- perience the large property loss with attendant inconvenience, but the idea that the fires were deliberately set by some diabolical individual, Is by far the most disturbing feature of the happening.
 It all seems part and parcel with the upheava1 in the world; the kind of happenings which had been regard ed as impossibilities. It appears al- most incredible that so many fires could be set without the human fiend or fiends being apprehended. but here again human calculations are upset.
 The really tangible outstanding les- son of the whole distressing experi- ence is that every community must prepare for the direful somethin which may never happen. One real- ixes anew the advantages of having the same kinds of hydrants. attach ments, etc., used all over the state, In the event of trouble apparatus sent from other towns would thus be made available at once without the trouble of experimenting. More and more communities are realizing that cooperation is necessary for protec- ton and benent. This cooperation extends beyond the bounds of a city and even interstate affiliations are be. ing cultivated to advantage.

So far as New Britain Is concerned tbe Sunday here is liberal enough. What amusements offered on tho Sabbath are seldom. If ever. in conflict with the regular order of religious observances. When men and wc.:lcn conform to the law of the Church they have no dihiculty In obeying the law of the land.

THE VACANT crrY LOT.

should vacant lots receive that care
 Which shows soTne civic pride. These lots would beautify the town And harm not either side. Money is lost in keeping neat.
 Some owners do declare, They have the title to tho land.
 The Devil has the care. As satan linds some mischief still
 For other hands to do, He tells them of e vacant lot
 To take their rubbish to. He says the owner will not care.
 For 1t is known full well. He has abandoned all to me
 Except his right to sell. He does not care what kind of crop
 His vacant lot may bear, For whatsoever crop may come
 He leaves forever there. I'm curator. of vacant lots.
 These museums run, And place the most unsightly where 'Tis seen by ev'ry one. Will you help fill my museum?
 Says the Devil on the sly, Iris the most attractive little spot
 That ever you did spy. Tho way into my museum
 Ts Open ev'rywhere, And I have many curious things
 On exhibition there. . F 4 'v' l f Effectively these lots appeal
 TOssoms one ev'ry day, Al much the most convenient place s For laying things away. Thov're open all tho time there is,
 They never close at night. For somo are not yet bold enough
 To come by broad day light. Hell and destruction are not full,
 Nor yet that vacant lot. It holds the indestruotible.
 The rest may 70 to, rot. On all the things which no, one wants
 That vacant lot doth pull And hold them too; in. fact how can
 A vacant lot be full? And should one change . vacant lot
 To one that's builded OCT, It might not then be half so full
 As 1t had been before. The city tends to all back yards
 Though some are seldom seen, Yet dumping grounds in open lots
 May not be half as clean.
 
 The city through from end to end,
 'Tis very much the same, The most disgusting spots in town,
 Our vacant lots do claim.

FRANCE.

'.lf we go to war with Germany" says MT. Roosevelt. i've must strike hard at Germany with the most for midable expeditionary. force that can be raised"
 That is question. It is contended by some military authorities that if We go to war with Germany we will not have to, at first, send an expedi- tionary force against the enemy. What We must do is to help the Entente Allies by sending munitions of war. Money. credit, food. and the various other essentials of warfare could be shipped abroad rather than troops. If need be. mon will 70 later to light in the trenches of Europe.
 In order to prove efficient if it en- ters the war. America should, and must. ally itself with the forces who helped America to win its own inde- pendence. In that case, one country stands out above all others,-france.
