DANGEROUS TREES.

The board of Public Works has been sending men about the city looking for hanging limbs of trees, and limbs which become dangerous.
 Several people have been complain ing that they have had narrow es- capes from falling limbs, broken off by a windstorm. It is quite natural that these complaints should come in IS it is never possible for the ap- pointed men to cover all the city directly after a storm, in time to take care of all the dangerous trees and limbs that may come as a result
 The Board of Public Works, how ever, will be very glad if anyone dis covering such a condition to exist call it up Telephone 91O) immediately in order that the matter may be at tended to at once.
 The city should formulate some better plan concerning trees, etc. As l the trees deaden and the winds blow with more force, the matter of broken limbs becomes more serious. We hate to see the time come when their leaves have lost their beauty as growing things; we watch the sp1en- did Colors of them as they fade, lbrighten-and die-then are swept or | burned. Then is the time when the
 limbs break and fall; then is the time we should be on the watch lest they
 cumber the streets or endanger the lpasserby.
 The board is taking upon itsel1
 to do the best it is able in making in speetions. It is not too much to hell the board in it's work by calling it lattention to any broken, dangerou.
 limbs one may see in tree, which makes the outing of the pedestrian dangerous.

WATCH THE CROWD.

There is little more interesting to the student of human nature than watching a crowd gathered to watch an event of interest or to listen 10 the results of such event as they are announced. The crowd before the Herald's Office yesterday was the largest yet seen.
 It must be remembered that com ments upon the crowd in general are comments upon yourself, chance might make you one of the crowd; your ex- pression or evidence of em otion, might be the same as some seen in the crowd noticed
 Strangely enough, if one watches long enough, the immovable man is most to be noticed. If he had a favorite he does not display his feeling as the tide turns for or against those with whom his favor lies Why this inn movable man stands out above the noisy boy of baseball age is a mys- tery. But the obstreperous small lad a devout partisan, cannot be overlooked for moment ex- cept while the stages of the game are being announced. He may be of

WELL DONE, NEW BRITAIN.

It is now reported that Secretary of Labor will ask for an appropriation of s4OO.000 to aid in the expansion O. the federal employment service.
 We have in our own city our local employment agency as recommended recently by the conference at Wash ington, and we had it long before it was thus recommended Moreover, there has been comparatively little ex-. pense in connection with it, namely about $1,5OO since May
 Moreover, we have authorized the isue of s1,O00,OD0 worth of bonds, practically all of which. with the ex- ception of the materials which had to has been earned by men then out O. work.
 We are heartily in favor of the un- employment conference and may it do all sorts of good through out the coun- try, but if an amount is to be appro- priated and spent in expanding em- ployment agencies, it would be wise to see that no more than is necessar ry goes to the Red Tape" and that a wrat amount goes into work which the lAborer may do.
 The working out of our employment bureau has been very successful We could have accomplished comparative 1y nothing without it. Men who op- posed it at first have been only toe glad to give small added amounts fol carrying it on.
 But the cost of it's maintenance has been kept low. and all the money pos sible has been used to send men direct ly to work and that is what they want Perhaps we could use little more to employ some men to make can others who have applied to the muni cipal bureau.
 Even if no official canvassers ar selected to go about looking for worl for these men, the civic and welfar organizations and individuals them selves may help by letting the em p1oyment bureau know of work the have to do.
 All things considered, New Britai stands near the head of those citie which sare trying with all their migh to make this winter as easy a one a possible for the men and women op of work.

'' WILL BE NEXT RULER OF JAPAN
''JMPERIAL DEMOCRAT
(By NEA Service.o


 Tokio. Oct. 11.-On the death of Emperor Yoshihito of Japan, Grown Prince Hirohito, 20, and Japan's first imperial democrat, will become the 123d ruler of the Land of Cherry Blossoms.
 Yoshihito ascended the throne in 1912 on the death of his father, Mutsuhito, famous as the emperor under whom Japan moved from bar barism into civilization. With the ascendence to the throne of the crown prince, Japan seems likely to swing from autocracy to democracy.
 The crown prince has already ! shown a democratic leaning. His first move of national imper- tance-his betrothal to Princess Ma gako, who comes from outside the five noble families-shook the entire nation. It was in absolute disregard of the usual custom, and caused i several resignations in the high gov ernment circles.
 The emperor and empress, and the people of Japan, however, were in sympathy with the wedding-so the engagem ent stands.
 Tours Europe. 1 Hirohito next shocked the older statesmen-but pleased the people | when he decided on a trip to. QtheS countries. It was the first time an heir to the Japanese throne had set his feet on foreign soil. He visited England, France, Italy and Holland When news reached back home thai he had mingled with the common people the Japanese people were amazed-but pleased. When Hirohito returned to Tokio there was national rejoicing never before known.
 1 The crown prince was born in 1901 and proclaimed crown prince in 1912 He is a major of infantry and a lieutenant commander in the Japanese navy. Admiral Togo, naval hero of the Russian-Japanese war, has directed the crown princes edu- cation fer number of years. 1 Princess Nagako, the imperial 1 fiancee, is IS and comes from one of the imperial princely families.

DIR. LEES APPOINTMENT,

The appointment of Dr. Fred T. Lee as health superintendent to succeed Dr. Griswold. who has been filling the vacancy temporarily for the benefit of New Britain, is a popular one
 pr. Lee had many credentials vouch- ing for his ability and suitability for the place and has been long under consideration. There were presented also numerous applications with ac- companying letters of recommendation from others outside the city. Some of them have been from men who have been engaged, according to the infor- public welfare work as well as having practiced medicine for many years.
 In the case of a local young man who is favorabIy known, the require ments of the charter may be made elastic in order to give a fellow-towns- man chance. pr.
