The Newington blaze occurred outside the limits of the central fire zone and the fire department was forced to rely upon chemicals. This is a common story when fires occur in the farflung euburban districts that are a part of even our small towns. 1t has repeatedly happened in Plain. ville. 1t happens In any small town under similar conditions, Small towns cannot afford to pro- vide water mains for fire fighting| purposes throughout their entire boundaries. Many of them in Con- necticut are much larger in area| than their population would lead one to belleve, People living in the | districts lacking mains are in the | position as farmers in the | country. When a fire breaks out it is | a matter of trusting to luck and| same chemicals. Most fires In private residences re- sult from overheated furnaces, de- ! heating arrangements or improper wiring. The latter is very rare in these days of careful in- | spection; heating arrangements us- ually are properly built; but from | {the hazards of an overheated {ur-; nace there is no defense except not | to permit it to become overheated. | And that is quite simple.

It would | seem that even the old trees plant- ed in Connectlcut years ago had a | better span of life than those plant- ¢d more recently; reminding us that | the stone dwelling houses which | once were a rule also stood up long- er than those of more modern vintage. The state forestry association 18 to discuss how to beautify the high- wayx., The topic is very simple—do L. F. Loree, president of the Dela- | ware & Hudson rallroad, may yet ucceed in manipulating other lines 25 to provide him with sufficlent mileage east and west to creatc a| fourth trunk line system north '”i the Ohio river; but his beginning, | which entailed getting control of the Lehigh Valley, has been a failure. Againet him were pitted not only the vested interests already pos- | sessing trunk lines in the affected | territory, but also the banking house | of J. P. Morgan & Co.. which by | preventing Loree obtaining control | of the 6,000 shares of Lehigh etock | s nocessary shows the country that the | Morgan interests are on the side of | the rafiroad lines as they exist, and that no competition from another line Is wanted.

New Haven, also, has followed New Britain in enforcing vaccination of school pupils. In that city free vaccination clini¢s were ordered by the department of health. New | fact that four cases of smallpox are being treated at the city hospital. In list of 1,699 employes were vaccinat- ed after it became known that one of the emallpox victims had been i Such methods are essentially necessary In face of the menace of Middletown as it at present con- fronts the state. It is not a time for discussion of personal liberty about vaccination; it is a condition and not a theory that confronts the state. That more and better legislation s necessary in Connecticut regarding the principle of vaccination was evident from the time test cases were brought in Hartford. The vac- cination law is not punitive, and ft has been held by a court that if the it would have provided a fine. In the test case the children of Unionville parents were sent to school daily but were not admitted because they were not vaccinated. No emergency existed at the time. The parents were found not guilty of trans. gressing the law, but the school authorities retained the right to deny admission unless the children were vaccinated. The same thing could occur again, but such cases| lead to the assumption that educa- tion is sadly negleeted during the process. The claim is sometimes made that } accination is dangerous. A ment's reflection will indicate that it Is not a hundredth part as dan- gerous as riding in an automobile or pedestrianizing across a congest- ed street, or walking along a coun- try highway. It is remarkable fn- deed that people will become exer- cised abont the supposed dangers of Vi mo- 1 | vacelnation while ignoring the d many of them unnecs that levy toll on human life all about | us.
