 The department has in view the planting of 1922 trees this year Bid drrs must agree 10 plant th"m and care for the trees during the first year.

AFTER THREE \. M.

Residents will greet with a huzza
 By C. F.. Brastoad
 the proposition to close night clubs at three A. M., for it will mean that when they have out flown guests on their hands they won't have to sit up, half dead from slecpiness, until the guests have had their fill of gay life The excuse will be per feet Nothing is open after three A. NJ. We must go home.
 Of course. strictly speaking, this will not be true and, on those nights when in" natives want 10 do q little cutting-up for themselves, there is no reason in the world why three A. NJ. should be the limit. There are places in town in which life is just beginning at that hour.
 For example, there is the Storage Warehouse. Here things are hum ming at three A. M. Take your par ty in at the main entrance, for there the police are not so snoopy and tell the doorkcepcr that Phil" sent you. In case you want q good table, a five-doIlar bill will help. There arc all kinds of tables in the Stor- age Warehouse, but the most satis- factory is one of maple, as il does not show alcohol stains.
 Once inside the warehouse, you can run up and down, opening and shutting the drawers in the bureaus, or if the ladies in your party are in holiday mood they may dance on the tables or the smoother desks. The music here, however, is likely 10 be unsatisfactory unless some one in your group is q good whistler.
 Another diversion which those "in the llnow' may indulge in during the early morning hours is that of Hopping trains" near the depot. This is the only avenue along which steam trains now run, and they are such sissy trains and run so slowly that it is quite easy to run along be- hind them, hopping on and off, much to the modification Of the en- gincer.

1 NEW TIME TABLE

No fall is quite complete without radical changes in the time tables of of the railroads. especially such q line as the New Haven which Is one of the most important passenger lines in the country.
 The tendency of fall styles in time tables at present seems 10 be in the direction of more speed for through trains. Even the Highland division or the road is to have q rapid roll CT, q train which is booked for only one stop between New York and Boston.
 While all these improvements in speed are under way the so-called Waterbury branch line, along which Now Britain is an important station for zone tickets, worries along with more and better and longer rrcighfs. Passenger trains which travel along the branch line give plenty Of local service by stopping at every town--or are they all cities?
 and through travellers from Now Britain 10 points as far listant as New York are encouraged 10 travel over inc main line after a chang" at Berlin.
 If in doubt how to get 10 q dcs- ttnaton or when the train leaves, the prarticc is 10 telephone the railroad station. But the lcoa station doesn't soll all the tickets Of those who de- part from the city; Berlin gets a share Of the sales and so does Hart tord
 New Haven officials looking at the receipts of tho local station, con- rlude it IS not as important as the ~lty thinks fl is Said officials get no record Of the telephone calls; they are only interested in receipts,

TYPHOID MOSTLY CONQUERED

According to q statement by War ren Scott of Hartford, sanitary en- gineer for the State Board Of Health, the typhoid rate in Connecticut has fallen from 42 deaths per 100000 population in 1890 10 d fraction of one per 100000 in 1928.
 Nothing more forcefully illustrates health control and a knowledge Of hygiene than these statistics.
 There was a time in the gay nin"tjes' when th" papers were as full Of items referring to people suf- fering from typhoid fever as they today are loaded with accounts of automobile accidents.
 In New Britain the typhoid rate, even in 1890, was better than the states average, as it is today. In 1890 the rate vas 5 year; in 1928 It was one in two years.
 A generation ago, when it became public knowledge that typhoid was nothing more than filth disease, end that if could be eliminated by eliminating nth and prevent edibles from being contaminated there from. and also looking into the qual- ity of water and milk served, the reign Of the typhoid germs began 10 slackcn.
 But continued vigilance remains the price of continued supremacy over typhoid.

IN FLORIDA

Not 10 he caught unawares when faced with the possibility of another hurricane flashing it's shoreline, resi- dents of Florida prepared for the worst in good time by boarding np windows and making such other nreparations that suggested them selves 10 an alarmed people.
 Nowhere in this country are the weather reports as important as in Florida, and when the information came from the government weather buraau and other sources that hur- ricane was en route along the estab- ushod route from the southeast activity at once became frantic. The memories of the disaster of 1926 and 1928 spurred widespread prepara- lions 10 greet the invading monster with defensive measures of the most elaborate kind. The experiences of the past suggested what measures would be most effective, No nation, anticipating the ravaees Of an hostile invading host, ever was more alert in easing the shock of attack.
 No longer does Florida trust 10 luck. Types of houses which were found to be untrustworthy during past hurricanes have been abandon ed for types of construction which incline to remain rooted to their foundations. T. may he possible in time to invent a fairly hurricane- proof type of architecture, r Fiori- da is situated to be the sport of the winds at almost regular intervals there is nothing more necessary than buildings throughout the state which have two primary purposes to house the people and to withstand the onslaughts of storms better than homes elsewhere.
 To realize that a hurricane IS due from A 4S hours before it arrives, however, creates a narrowing ncrv- ous strain among the people which successive experiences with the winds scarcely alleviates. To be un- certain whether the roof over ones head is to stay put is nothing to in ducc untroubled, dreamless sleep during the process of waiting for the force of attacking nature. The sym pathv of the remainder of the na- tjon is readily extended to Floridians during such trying times; tn" most brave of us would not care 10 be in their shoes.
 The hurricane may not actually reach Florida; it may hover else where and there do tho major part | Of it's damage. The point is that Florida never again will bo unpre- pared. The least suggestion that a hurricane is under way throws ifs citizenrv into that furry which brings into play all lines of defense" Florida. has learned its lessons and will never be caught mapping again.

 If there is 10 be change in the methods Of the brazeu methods Of Connecticut political leaders it must come from within the party. When enough ordinary Republican voters begin thinking for themselves in- stead of accepting the propaganda Of the organization as infallible truth and perfect knowledge, start will have been made to swap horses.

OVERSEEING THE MILK SUPPLY

According to the State Board Of Health, 25 cases of paratyphoid fever which originated in Glastonbury and East Hartford probably have been due to a coataminotod milk supply.
 Every city and town which does not properly regulate the quality of milk allowed 10 be vcndcd within the municipality is courtins d similar epidemic
 The law in New Britain is that milk offered for public consumption must be either pas,curized or must come from certified cows. It is illegal to vcnd raw milk that is not the product Of certified cows, It is the business of the Board of Health to enforce inc law.
 The city has learned that the chairmanshIp Of the Board Of Health costs $47oo year. That is the salary Of tho new chairman when he comes to th" city.
 The city is entitled to it's moneys worth in proper supervision.
 One place where supervision can never be too strict is in the milk supply. We trust that the Board Of Health agrees heartily.
