WORK IN PALESTINE.

The Herald calls attention to the activities of the New Britain organi- zation of women which this week is starting a campaign to raise S1,000. the New Britain quota of q s450.000 fund to be spent on health work in Palestine. The revitalizing of Pales- tine has created sentimental inter- est all over the world. but entirely aside from. that interest this move ment is one of the many which has made and IS making this country stand alone as one whose people are responsive to calls from the sick and suffering all over the world.
 The work is adequately and simply described and the appeal made in a personal letter of President Anna Goldsmith of the New Britain Chap ter Hadassah, as follows:
 The New, Britain Chapter of
 Hadassahs the women's Zionist
 Organization, is this week start ing campaignato raise this city-s
 quota of a $45O, ,OOOsfund that ,4 will enable Hadassah to continue <. its great work of bringing health
 and healing to the population of
 Palestine. , Hadassah. originally
 the hopeful effort of small group of American women in
 terested in Zionism, is today
 widely known and beloved throughout Palestine by Jew,
 Moslem and Christian. Its 400 doctors and nurses minister to all races, creeds and classes alike. Hadassah's hospitals have no private wards. The mother who { cannot pay for her baby's modi- fled milk formula is supplied without charge. School children, 10000 of them, yearly are being protected against the frightful blindness -bringing plague, tra- choma. Immigrant pioneers are being aided by circuit nursing and field hospitals. A Nurses Training. School has been estab- lished to train Palestinian girls in a profession that will enable them to help. their country, and to be simultaneously made self supporting.
 Adolph s. ochs, publisher of the New York Times, Rabbi Stephen s. Wise, Supreme Court Justice Louis D.. Brandeis, Nathan Straus, the great philanthropist, have highly praised 1Hadassah.
 We in New Britain are hoping to raise our s1,000 quota through a benefit minstrel and vaudeville show which we shall offer on Sunday afternoon, January 2S, at the Lyceum theater. .~

CROWDED TROLLEYs,

The common council has requested
 inc Corporation Counsel to give an
 opinion as 10 whether or not an ordi'
 nance faFbidding the erowdlng oi
 trolley ears would be enforceable,
 There is no state law on the matter
 applicable 10 trolley cars. although it
 is against the law for jitneys to carry
 more than q certain number Of pas
 songers depending upon the seating
 capacity of the vehicle.
 The Herald stands firmly on the
 ground that the trolley company has
 not given the city adequate transpor-
 taiion facilities. IL has tried 10 as-
 sist in the fight for lower fares and
 better service. But it sees the possi-
 bllity Of jumping from the frying
 pan into the fire If it Is found such an ordinance agianst crowding trolley cars could be enforced and such ordi- nance were to be adopted. There is a danger Of making transportation even more difficult for New Britain people in the effort to penalize the Connecticut company.
 It may be granted that if such an ordinance induced the company to put on more cars it's passage and en- forcement would be a splendid thing for the people. But would it do this? Might 1t not. rather, compel the com pany to refuse to take on passengers, leaving some who were in a hurry standing in the cold to wait for the next car without there being added any cars to relieve the situation? Are people generally pleased with the law which requires jitneys to limit the number of passengers? And certainly there is more danger in crowded jitney than there would be in d crowded trolley car. Let it be re- peated, for fear someone might read | a wrong meaning here. that if such an ordinance would make the com- pany put on more cars it would be hailed with delight But New Britain people are not apt to believe the company would do this thing.
 As to the legality of such an ordi- nance it is to be noted that all sim liar laws are based upon public health or safety. The jitney is dangerous if crowded beyond it's capacity. There is no idea of considering passengers comfort in the law All laws against crowds have for their reason for be- ing the idea of public health or safety. If an ordinance against crowded trolley cars is found ito be proper it will be an innovation in the law unless it can be founded on con- the health or guarding the safety of the people. It is feared that the only way of remedying the matter of crowded trolley cars would be by attacking again, as it has been at tackled so often, the adequacy of the service given the people of this city.
