CONSERVATIVES AT MOSTYN HALL. Some hundreds of ladies and gentlemen, workers in the Conservative cause in Flint- shire (including several from Prestatyn), assembled at Mostyn Hall on Saturday after- noon, at the invitation of Lord Mostyn, to meet Mr Harold Edwards, the Conservative candidate for Flintshire. In the first place the guests partook of tea in a large marquee, and afterwards strolled about the beautiful grounds surrounding the fine old mansion. At five o'clock a meeting was held opposite the terrace at the side of the mansion. Lord Mostyn presided, supported by Mr Harold Edwards, Mr P. P. Pennant, Mr J. Lloyd- Price, and other leaders of the party in the county. Lord Mostyn spoke on the House of Lords question, declaring that the peers would be the last people to sign their own death warrant, and Mr Edwards dealt with Socialism and its relation to existing rights in property.

PARLIAMENT TO FIGHT THE DRINK TRAFFIC. In the course of a letter written to the annual Conference of the Baptist Union of Wales, Mr Lloyd George said that the next session of Parliament will. in the main. be devoted to two questions which Wales at the general election placed in the forefront of its programme—namely, religious equality in schools and temperance. The drink traffic has within my political memory beaten two great Administrations. Next year Liberalism means to try conclusions with it for the third time. Drink will, as in the past, enjoy the full and effective alliance and support of the ecclesiastical orders and their friends."

TRACTION ENGINE FALLS OVER LLANRWST BRIDGE. On Monday evening an alarming accident occurred on the Llanrwst Bridge, which spans the Conway opposite the Victoria Hotel. A motor traction engine, the property of Messrs Bott and Stennett, contractors, London, who are contractors for the aluminium works at Dolgarrog, was being driven in the direction of Llanrwst. On it were seated the driver (William Peers), a stoker, and two navvies. The night was exceedingly dark, and on emerging from Gwydyr Avenue into the light of the hotel on the opposide side, the driver mistook the wall, which curves off the end of the bridge, on the south side, for the centre of the road. There being a sharp gradient, extra speed was put on, and before he was aware of his error the vehicle had dashed into the wall, carrying it bodily away. Turning a complete summersault the engine fell into the river bed twenty feet below. The stoker and two navvies jumped on to the road, but the driver jumping sideways with his charge landed about ten feet below on the river bank. He received a slight injury to his leg.

Preferred the Baby's Voice. Flat-dwellers have much to put up with. [ remember hearing of the troubles of a fairly well-known scientist wbo was the father of a large and growing family. One evening his youngest was holding forth in her best style. The mother could do nothing with the child, 50 the man of science went to the rescue. I think I can quiet little Flora," he said. It's no use humming to her in that silly way. What she wants is real music. The fact that [ used to sing in the glee club at college and sing well, too, may make a difference." Accordingly, the professor took the child and, striding up and down the room, sang in bis best manner. He had not finished the second verse of his song when a ring was heard. The door was opened, and there stood a gill of fourteen, who said I'm one of the family that's just moved into the flat next to yours. There's a lady staying with us who is very ill, and she says, if its all the same to you, would you mind letting the baby cry instead of singing to it ?" 4

Is Leisure Sinful? No, leisure is not sinful. Everybody admits this to a certain extent. No matter what the hurry of life may be, one cannot always be working, but the alternative to work with some people is energetic play. It is not leisurely occupation to race over the country in motor-cars, and to play golf at the rate of three rounds a day. There are still a few who are leisurely in their hours of freedom, but what about the old life of leisure ? It used to be thought that such a life was innocent and admirable, and that good fruit might come of it. But nowadays the man who dues nothing but meditate and observe and write a little, is a man con- demned by the ordinary opinion of society.

What are we coming to ? Already tradesmen are calling attention to the excellence of their wares through the 0 medium of the Limerick. For example :— Do you ever wear socks, sir ? Then try What Holey and Darnem supply. They hold immense stocks Of superior socks To charm both the sole and the eye

A Steady Fire. The other day I was discussing with a friend the cause and effect of the" dear coal scare. He was much alarmed, for dear coal means dear gas, and, as he uses gas almost exclusively, it meant a serious addition to his weekly expenditure. I am only thankful," he said, I- I haven't still got the cook I brought from home when I was first married. She was a splendid servant, but she did'nt know anything about gas to cook with, so when I first moved into my flat I went to the kitchen with her to explain about the range. I lit the burners, but while explaining, a message called me from the kitchen, and I left. her, saying, I think you will find that it will work alright now, Martha.' I didn't see the cook again for four or five days. then happen- ing to go into the kitchen I said, ,\V ell. Martha, how's the range doing ?' To my utter consternation, she replied, 'Deed, sir, that's the best stove I ever did see. That fire what you lit for me four days ago is still a-burning, and it ain't even lowered once."
