Pavilion. Concerts. BREACH OF LICENCE AT ABERYSTWYTH. At Aberys wyth on Saturday before C. I Williams and Thomas Owen, Esqrs., the atdjourned case against James F. Young for having opened the Pier Pavilion for a concert on the previous Sunday afternoon was heard. The chairge was that the performance was con- trary to the conditions of the licence. Mr W. P. Owen defended. The Chief Constable gave evidence that he went to the Pier Pavil on on Saturday night August 9'h, and saw a paster advertising a ooncert on the following afternoon when Miss Marie Hall, violinist, was to take par.. He said to Mr Young, "I see you are going to have a concert at liree o'clock to-morrow afternoon contrary to tbo conditions of your Defendant replied, "They are do as h every- where else and I am going to da it here. I am [bound to go on now as I have a contract to fulfil." On the follc,win- afternoon the Chief Constable went to the Pier in company with Supt. Phillips and found the concert in pro- <rrc.<5. H« saw defendant who saiid he could not bre-ik his contract with Miss Marie Hall. jWi tno^ relied that he hId broken his con- struct with the County Council. He went inside r tho Pavilion and heard parL, of the perform- ance. Miss Hall was plavir,, a violin ami there wrjs also a vocalist present. The aud- ience numbered from 2C0 to 300. A woman 'was employed ia the pay-box and a man col- loced tickets. Programmes were sold at threepence each. Cross-examined: No com- plaint was made that the performance was 'n had taste or was improperly conducted. To his knowledge the concert was the only one I held on a Sunday afternoon this reason in -Jle Pavilion. Defendant told him he had held concerts there last season. Lewis Thomas, of the County Council office, who produced a duplicate of the licence rancd to defendant, said it was issued on Aoril 23rd. 1919 under the Theatre Act of 1843. The 1 cence was issued on condition that ,h house was closed on SundSys. The- sixth rule stated hat any concerts held on Sundays would have to be of a purely sa.cred character and ;):ft"r eight o'clock in the evening. Mr W. P. Owen, defending, contended that no case had been made out. Under -.he Theatre Act of 1S43 no offence was committed by simply holdino- a concert in the af-ernoon. It was an offence to hold a stage play. He submitted tha1 the Countv Council had no right to impose condition* on the licence, except for the good order of theatres. It was unfair to exnect Mr Younc to break his contract with Miss Hall on the evening before Mie concert. The licenr- was worded stage plav not sacred concert. It was no more of an offence to give a concert on Sundav han it was to entertain friends, Tho County Council should hava kept witlvm the licensing laws. He was sure that the Sunday Schools "had no i been interbred with by the concert. Mr Owen, m reply to Mr C. M. Wil- liams, said Mr Young was prepared to give 2,n undertaking that he would no-, again open the Pavilion on a Sunday afternoon. A fine cf El was imposed.

(continued from previous column). meeting from Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P. was complied with. Ho said the letter reflected on his character. As the previous meeting wa* held at noon he failed to attend. He was pre- pared to meet fully the abatements by .Mr Vaughan Davies and hoped the Press trivo the same publicity to h s reply as had already been given to the matter The Chairman said it was right thz>t every man should have 'the opportunity of replying to statements made concerning him.

Machynlleth Council. SPEED-LIMIT FOR MOTORS. Machynlleth Urban Council met on Monday evening, present, Councillors J. M. Breeze, chairman; Richard Gillart, Richard Rees T. R. Morgan. Edward Oliver, Edward Hum- phreys, John Lumley, Griffith Thomas, T. H. Evans Thomas: Parsons, Messrs. Edmund Gillav. (clerk), J. J. Humphreys (surveyor), and Hugh Davies (rate ccllectod. A letter was r3.d from the County Council stating tha the Urbstn Council's communica- tion with regard to speed limit had been con- Midered by the Main Roads Commit'-ee and no action was taken; but it was suggested that "he police should be asked to take proceedings against motoris.ts driving at a rsrte dangerous to the public. The Clerk said the dust nuisance was closely assccia~«d with driving at high fpeed through the streets. Perhaps that fact did not occur to "he County Council.— Mr. John Lumley said the County Council had no experience of dust as t.he main reads were tar-sprayed.—The Clerk It is like a dog in a mrfnger. O'ther Councils have also applied for a speed limit-Mr Richard Rees said the County Council in not fixing a speed limit con- sderei it as a wrojiw policy. If a limit Qf ten miles an hoar was fixtJd and a man drove at I i,!n miles per hour he could not be held responsible if an accident occurred as he could say he wat'- keeping to the regulations. The I Clerk said reckless driving and speed limit were two different makers*. A mnsi driv ng recklessly would be prosecuted: but if he kept within a limit he was safe.—Mr Pardons said there was a marked difference in .he speed of motor cars when there was a policeman standing by the Clock Tower: but the police coukl not bo expected to s'-op there all dav long. Mr Edwa.rd Humphreys sa d a local man was bringing lambs from the saleyard on the previous sale day when a, motor car rushed past and ran over one of the lambo. A child could have been run over. MachvnIIeth should follow he example cf Aberystwyth and put iii) notices limiting the speed. There vras =. sign at every street corner in Abcrystv'yth. Mr Griffith Thomas said he saw a mo I-or cair going through MacRynlleth that day at thirty miles per hour. Mr John Lumley was in favour of asking the County Council to fix a speed limit ot six or eight miles an hour.—Mr Gillart pro- poaed that a: reply shou'-d be sent that th" reply of ..ho County Council was not satis- factory and that motor cars were travelling at a terrific rate through town to the danger of the public.—Mr John Lumley seconded the propositi -n and it was decided to bring pres- sure to bear on *«he County Council. — Tho Clerk suggested that concerted action wit.h other Councils would be effective. Members of -.be County Council should live in the main streets and experienca the dust nuisance. It was easy to have tuberculosis in the street without go;n to crowded meetings.—It was decided by Mr Lumlev's proposition seconded by Mr Oliver, to ask local authorities in the county to make a joint appeaL-Mr Richard Rcea said two months ago Welshpool made a similar appeal and ij was referred to tho pol The Clerk reported that the atidit had pei,sed off satisfactorily. A letter was read from 'he Territorial Association with regard to the reception to overseas soldiers, sta'.ing it was intended to ohamdon the arrangements owing to a change of circumstances and kick of funds. The total subscriptions received amounted to £80 cnlv. The Divisional Coal Con-roller wrote that 150 rtons of coal for winter storage purposes could he suoplied for the urban and rural districts. Tine required that tonnage ?or the urban district on'y. The coal could not be supplied from the Staffordshire distric. but zt,no could be supplied from North Wales at the pi" price plus carriage to Machynlleth station. It was remarked that the Fuel Over- seer would see that there was sufficient supply of coal for the urban district.—Mr John Lum- ley said coal merchant would not accept poor coal and would not be prepared to pay for it and keep ie. on the wharf. So large a stock wclrl take a great deal of storage. Mr Edward Humphreys said other Counc'ls were moving in the matter. He saw in Barmouth Junction hat day fifteen trucks for Portmadoo and Criecioth addressed to the local fuel over- seers. Machynlleth Council, he said, must make arrangements for the winter.—Mr Gdlart $;d a coal shortage would be as serious as water shortage.—The Surveyor said he had seen Mr Ro>wlands_ the rural fuel overseer, who had told him that unle-s the coal mer- chants were prepared to take the coal in the Rrral Fuel CoTnmi-itee would do so. Mr Gillart proposed that the matter should be re- ferred t3 the Fuel Overseer and Mr John Lumlev seconded. Tha proposition was carried. Ir. H. Meredith Roberts wrole that he would submit the Council's suggestion of num- bering house". in Garden Village before the next meeting of the directors. The Rate Collector reported hna-ing collected £ 234, leaving £ 229 ou st<andingv—Mr Edward Humphreys sai<l in order to assist the Collector in his duties he would give nct ce to ask at -he next meeting for the name of a defaulting ratepayer. The Surveyor reported that the watei supply was satisfactory. He asked for per- mission to curtail .the supply in the after- noon. The water in the rervoir was muddy owing to the banks having fallen in after the heavy rain that day. There were- heaps of car'.h in both reservoirs. He asked thfit members of the Council viewed the reservoir in its present condit;on.-It waa decided that ;he whole Council should visit the reservoir on Thursday.—The Surveyor further renortrvl that the water nines had been cleansed and there was no fur her corrosion. In his report, the Surveyor stated that seats On the Common required pa:nt:ng. Trey had been deliberately cut by knives r.nd other instruments. Mr Edward Humphreys said the offenders should be taken before Lho magistrates and made an example of. The Chairman: The difficulty is to catch them. — Mr John Lumley proposed that the seats should be pain ed after the sermon, and tlie proposition was carried.—No action was taken with regard to the damage to the sen. Two workmen applied for an" increase iti wages owinc to the increasing prico of com- modities.—Mr Griffi'.h Thomas said ho warned the Council when fixing the men's wapes at 35s. per week that they ought I-o have £2. The men could not keep a home together on 3bs. For instance, roadmen had to have a good pair of boots every si xmonths. That would cos'lem C2. He proposer an increase of 5s.. Mr Edward Humphreys seconded the proposition and said prices were on the In- crease cintinually.-The Surveyor also .applied for an increase for himself, stating .,ha.t if tti,- men received fin increase wrrch he was bv no means opposed to, he considered he was'en- titled to a proportionate increase Tiecauae he would only have 8s. more than the men and had all the responsibility.—It was stated that the County Council roadmen received 35s. and Mr Richar,] Rees argued that they had more arduous work tihan the urban workmen as Ahev had to 'walk many miles a day to work. It was not possible to compare the urban workmen with them. Mr Edward Hum- phreys said it was easier for tne County Council men to live as 'hey were in the coun- try and had small holdings. The urban men had a backypjrd only.—Mr John Lumley said if tho men were to leave the Council's employ it would be difficult :o replace them excent at an increased wage. The men could not be expected to do an honest day's work unles* hev 'were adequately pa:d. Mr Griffith Thomas said if the men went awr.,y the Coun- cil would have to pciv new men at least C2 10s. per' week.—Mr Gillar. proposed an in- crease of 2s. 6d. and Mr Lumley seconded. 'Mr Edward Oliver said E2 per week wan not excessive.—Mr Parsons said the men required extra for lighting kvmps in the winter. He was ;n favour of granting £2 if tVev were pre- pared to include the lamp lighting in tlialfc wage.—Mr Gillart withdrew his amendmen-, on that understanding, and it was finally decided to grant JE2 per week on condition that the men were prepared to light .}¡e street lamps until the next estimate when the matter would be reconsidered. The provision of washers for water taps was considlerod.-Mr Edward ITumphrev," ftiid if washers were to be provided, landlords should be asked to pay for them.—Mr Edward Oliver agreed. It would be difficult to divide the coat if the tenants had to pay in C £ isesi whera "three houses draw water from the same taps. Where there was was'age the Surveyor should give tenants notice and not take the taps aw»,y.—The Surveyor said i". was not time to give notices. To avoid serious wastage he had to take the taps away or more water would be los^, during the time the notice was given. — I Mr Gillart said he spent 2200 at one time for 1, taps on his property and they had been neg- (lec'ed. He did not intend to spend any more and did not care if the Surveyor took the taps away.—Mr Edward Humphreys proposed that threepence be charged for fixing eat-h washer.—Mr T. H. Evasns seconded and tha proposition was carried. A letter was read from the Divisional Food Commissioner seating that the Food Ministry requested that the urban and rural food com- mittees of Machynlleth sjhould be combined and ;"hereby save expense.—A committee was appointed to meet the Rural Council. Owing to the resignation of ord Herbert Vane Tempest, K.C.V.O., his seat was docbred vacant.

Phillips for being drunk aind disorderly in Thespian-streert on Saturday evening. P.C. Charman said he was otlled Jo a disturb- ance in High-street on Saturday even ng about 10.30 p.m. and in Princess-street saw defendant staggering drunk in charge of another person. He told defendant to go home and defendant wen-, quietly. Later he was called to Thesp- ian-street to eject defendant frcm his mother's house. P.C. Jenkins accompanied him and entered Mrs. Morgan's shop which was in dark- ness. Defendant czmght P.C. Jenkins by the neck and dragged him about; but P.C. Jenkins dragged defendant into -.he street and released himself from defendant grip. Defendant was mad in drink and was brought to the Pol ce Station after having been handcuffed. He had broken some of his mother's furniiure. Defendant said he had had some drink and did not remember ajnything tha. tock place. He was also. summoned for wilfully damaging a bucke-, valued at 8s. 6d. P.S. Thomas Davies said defendant was brought to the Police Station between eleven and twelve on Saturday night. He placed him in a cell and made him comfortable and also gave him a bucket which he (witness) thought would he necessary. He (witness) then left the Police Station for a few minutes and when he returned after many complain s by people out- side he re-visited the cell sccompsnied by P.C. Jenkins and found the bucket smashed. He also found that -.he coil which had been recently whitewashed was in a disgraceful condition and defendant was like a madman up to the early ho-.irs of Sundjjy morning. Sup;. Phillips said there were nine previous convictions against defendant, two of which were for dishonesty and in one case he received two months a', Carmarthen. He was one of two or three thait the ".own would be well rid of. Instead of being a support to his widowed mother he committed such acts. Defendant asked for ano her chance to matke good. For the first offence, having regard for defendant's previous conduct, he was sentenced to one month with hard labour and in the second case he was fined 10s. and ordered to pay 8s. 6d. for the bucket. The Chairman hoped accused would reflect on his conduct and give up his wicked ways. It was also his du'y instead of shaming his mother to support her

My Worst Ordeal. I In the following narrative, Mr A. Dean, of 16 All Saints' Lane, Clevedon, brings hope to many a kidney sufferer. On November 4th, 1913, Mr. Dean said:- "An influenza cold left me with serious kidney and bladder trouble. Solid obstructions passed down to the bladder from the kidneys, and I had to use a catheter for emptying the bladder. "This waa my worst. ordeal. I suffered agony, and the dreadful part of it was that artificial aid gave only temporary relief. On one occasion I was prostrate for twenty-four hours with maddening pain and in danger of bladder rupture "No doubt I would be dependent on the catheter to this day had I not eventually tried Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. After a comparatively short course of this medicine the bladder acted naturally and pain- lessly again. Doan's Pills induced a free flow that flushed out all impurities from the urinary system. So thoroughly did they succeed that I do not now need the catheter, nor have I had any trace of bladder trouble since. (Signed) A Dean." My Best Gratitude. On Jamiary 6th, 1918, Mr. Dean said:— "My best gratitude is due to Doan's Back- ache Kidney Pills, for I am well into the fifth year of my recovery through this effective kidney medicine."

Welsh Church POINTED LETTERS. WELSH MEMBERS AT VARIANCE. The House of Lords last week accepted the Welsh Church (Temporalities) Bill on its second reading. Viscount Peel pointed out that the measure accepts the principles of Disestablishment and Disendowment. but ow- ing to the money difficulties of the war a difference of one and a quarter millions, which cannot be borrowed on the E3,400,000 to be paid, will be made up partly by Treasury advamce on tithe and by grant of ore million. Repayments are to be made to a sinking fund within thirty years. The life of the Church Commission is correspondingly extended. Financial arrangements cause postponement of the date of Disestablishment till March 31st next. Church representatives, whilst denying that there was generosity to the Church, and with- cut abating their views on prinicple, accepted the measure on grounds of expediency. Lord Clwyd, as a Nonconformist, sa'd the Bill would lead to united action in the sphere of religion in Wales. The Marrquois of Crewe did not believe there was amongst Nonconformists any desire to treat the Church unfairly. He expressed the hope that all bitterness which had been caused would disappear. The Bishop of St. Davids said the effect of that Bill was to disendow the Church_pf Wales to the extent of £ 50,000 a year, or a million capital. Without changing in the slightest h's conviction about anv of the principles of the ♦Ish Church Act/he had come clearly to the conclusion that it would be inexpedient to oppose that Bill. He made no apology to anybody for the decision he had come to. The times were critical, the situation was full of danger on the one side and of possibilities on the other side. People ought not to think more of their monetary ,ri;hts than of their duty. To lay too much stress on the question of a million of money for the Church in Wales would, he believed, injure irretrievably its sp ritual position. He did not think the Church in Wales in the long run would suffer in accepting the measure. The Bishop of St. Asaph, in supporting the Bill said he would prefer that the Welsh Church should struggle on in poverty until her children could help her, rather than be the rec'.pient of any Parliamentary endow- ment. Impoverished though the Church waa she would be able to take her part in pro- moting without suspicion or prejudice a sound and fiane patriotism in Wales. An interesting correspondence between the Welsh members has been published with re- gard to the Bill. Mr. Haydn Jones, Major David Davies, and Mr. S. Robinson, who voted against the Bill in Parliament, have issued the following letter:- It is highly important that Wales should appreciate exactly what is happening in con- nection with the new Welsh Church Bill. The impression has been judicously created that the only object and the sole effect of the Bill is to make certain financial adjustments in connection with disendowment necessitated by the war, but that the Welsh Church Act, 1914, is left intact, and that the relative posi- tions of the Church, the County Councils, and the University of Wales remain the same a under that Act. There never was a more serious error. The Act of 1914 is fundamentally changed by the new Bill. The understanding that neither party to the dispute should either gain or lofo is grossly violated. The primary prin- ciple for which our fathers fought-that the money of the State should not be u?ed to en- dow any form of religion-is sacrificed. All this can be demonstrated by considering one or two of the financial provisions of the new Bill. It was estimnted by the Government of the day in 1913 that the sum required under the pro- visions of the Welsh Church Act, 1914. to commute the existing interests of the holders of ecclesiastical offices in the Church of Wales was £ 2,102,341. The Government has, how- ever, recently made a now actuarial estimate of this amount, and it is now calculated that, although tha clergy have continued to enjoy full and continually increasing incomes during the five years of the war, the sum necessary on March 31st next year, when tithe will ntand at 136 per cent. 2.t least, will be £ 3,400.000. This enormous increase of £ 1,197.659 ;s due to two causeg:- (1) The tithe rent charge attached to Welsh benefices will, under the provisions of the new Bill, have to be commuted at the septennial average of tithe in force at the date of dis- establishment, i.e., £136, in spte of the fact that for all other purposes the value cf tithe was fixed by the Tithe Act, 1918, at C109 3s. lid. (2) The value of tho life interests of the clergy for the purposes of oommutat'on will have to be calculated on a basis of three and a half per cent., while the Welsh Commis- sioners who hnve to find the money for this purpose, will not be able to borrow under at least five per Cent. In spite of the understanding that no party should either lose or prcfit through the war, Ule new Bill makes the Church secure in a clear gain to the extent of £ 1,197,659. Again, a fundamental principle of the Welsh Church Act, 1914, was that the Commutation Scheme under the Act should be a purely bus ness transaction, and what the Repre- sentative Body received in lieu of the life in- terests cf the clergy had a practically equivalent charge upon it in respect of those ind vidual interests. Under the new Bill, however the Church commutes its tithe at the rate of £136, while it only priys annuities to the incumbents on a basis of £109. It will be seen, therefore, that the basis of the Act of 1914 is fundamentally changed. The method adopted by the Government, however, for readjusting the new situation created by the war flagrantly violrfces the whole principle of disendowment. The posi- tion of all parties under the orig'nal Act oould have been easily rectified in a simple and straightforward manner bv applying the Tithe Act, 1918, for tha purpose of fixing- the vr^.ue of t the for commutation as well as for oMimating tho annuities payable to incum- bent^, and also by altering the rate of inter-, est for commutation purposes to five per cent., the rate at which the Welsh Commis- sioners would be able to borrow and the Re- presentative Body to invest. What is the method adopted by the Government? It Ls to rehabilitate the finance of the 1914 Act by obtainin-, a aole of jBl,250,000 (including rates) from the British Treasury. It is repre- sented that this is a gran-, to enable tho Welsh County Councils to meet their liabilities. But, as we have already shown all this could have bean effected [without a single penny from the Treasury. In effect this grant represents a d rect and new Stato endowment of the Church, and, although every one is anxious to see the end of this old controversy, it is diffi- cult to comprehend how Welsh members who voted for the Act of 1914 are eble to support the second reading of this measure, which, in effect, is a B.11 to re-endow tha Church in Wales. The other Welsh members, who supported the Bill, have issued a reply, signed by Mr. Vaughan Davies (chairman), and Mr. J. Hinds (secretary), of the Welsh Liberal Parlia- mentary Party, as follows:— The dominant facts which govern the pre- sent positon in regard to this Bill are.-(l) The Welsh Church Act of 1914 is on the Statute Book; (2) Owing to the change in the value of tithe, the rate of interest, local rates, and so on, created by the war, ohe Act in its financiaA provisions cannot be carr'ed out, it is financially bankrupt; (3) In a letter written by the Prime Minster to Mr. Bonar Law in November of last year, which as everyone knows, forms the basis of the present Otalition, the following paragraph occurs: "Finally, there is the quest'on of Welsh Dis- establishment. I am certain that nobody wishes to re-open religious controversy at this time. The Welsh Church Act is on the Statute Book, and I do not think that there is any desire even on the part of the Welsh Church itself that the Act should be repealed, but I recognise that the long continuance of the war has created financial problems which must be taken into account. I cannot make any definite proposals at the r3ent moment but I cl, not believe that once t' e question of principle no longer ari-es it will be found impossible to arrive at a solution of these financial difficulties." Frcm this quotation it will 'be seen that the great maior;tv in the present House of Commons was returned on the understand ng that no change involving a question of principle should be made in the Welsh Church Act, but that on the other hand matters involving financial readjust- ment would have to be settled in order to make that Act operative. The present Bill embodiei provisions to enable those financial readjustments to be made. What is the charge made in the letter? It is that "The Act of 1914 is fundamentally changed by this Bill." Surely exaggeration can go no further. The two fundamental principles underlying the Act of 1914 are :-(1) That the Church in Wales shall be Disestablished; (2) That its endow- ments previous to a given date shall be ewcularised. Will your correspondents, with any attempt at seriousness, decla.re that either of these two principles is violated by this Bill? Your correspondents further go on to declare that the principle for which our fathers fought --na.mely that the money of the State should not be used to endow any form of religion is sacrificed. This is an abuse of words with regard to the provisions of the Bill, and is inexcusable wh.en made by men who stand in such positions of responibility in the country. What are the facts? Owing to changes brought about bv the war, and by the war alone. the Welsh Church Act of 1914 is financially un- workable as it stands. In order, thereforcl, net to raise the question of principle by re- opening the Act of 1914, the Government have come forward IInd have handed over £ 1,000.000 to the Welsh Church Commissioners to enable the Act of 1914 to be put into operation. It cannot be tr-,i clearly emphasised that if the Welsh Church will be better off in 1920, the date of Disestablishment, than it would have been if Disestablishment had taken place in 1915, ".hat is completely and absolutely due to the circumstances of the waT, and muzt be ac- cepted as part of the fortunes of war.

Machynlleth Guardians. RURAL COUNCIL AND PENNAL COTTAGES Machynlleth Guardians met on Thursday present, Mr R. Jones, Ynyshir. presiding; Rev. Gwilym Roes, Messrs M. E. Francis, Mcyrick Roberts, Edward Jones, John Edwards, and W. P. Rowlands clerk. A letter wsra read that the cost of. maintaining pauper lunatics at Cotford Asylum waa increased to 19s lOd. per head. Not'ce was received of the intention of Merioneth Ccunty Council to levy a supplef- mental raos of two pence in the pound to meet the extra cost of maintaining the police force rendered necessary by the Government Bill. It was agreed to support a resolution in favour of members of public bodies being allowed reasonable travelling and out of pocket expenses in attending meetings. Mr Meyrick Roberts and the Clerk presented their report of the Shrewsbury Conference on the ques'.ion of the proposed abolition of the poor law system. They also explained the position under the Mental Defiriency Ac-. which the Government pressed should now be put into force, tjie Clerk saying that joint action had already been taken by the counties of Montgomery, Brecon and Radnor. A vote of thinks was passed for J.he report. The Clerk reported that the raidit of ac- counts had parsed off satisfactorily. Mr. M. E. Francis Cemmesbychan, presided over a meet ng of the Rural Council when Mr. Richard Williams, sanitary inspector and surveyor, reported that Pontbvllfa Bridge Cemmaes. was not safe for heavy traffic such as the threshing machine. The bridge was thirty years old. He suggested the erection of a- new bridge with steel girders at an estimated cost- of £ 104—It was i greed to com- municate with Mallwyd Council and request a contribution of half the cost. The Sanitary Inspector reported cottages 3.1 Pennal without privy acccmmod £ .t:r>n and a 1St) two houses in Caereirionfee in unfit for habi- 'h, tation. He feared the Council was too lenient in dealing with the co'tages at Pennal If the police had the case in hand summonses would have been issued at once. No".ice and letters had been sent repeatedly without effect.—It was agreed that the Clerk should write to the owners stating that if privy ac- commodation would not be provided within a momth proceedings would be taken. With regard to sites for ",he proposed hous- ing scheme, it was stated tha-, the Small Hold- ings Committee had deferred consideration of ihe suggested exchange of sites at Cemmaes as the contract for the purchase of Cemmaes- bychan had not yet been completed—It was agreed to accept the offer bv Major Bonsall of a site Penf-zoes for S60 subject to the approval of the Ministry of Health when other sites will be ready.

Continued from the previous columri. course was open to the Government but to bring forward this Bill unless it were to re- open and change the fundamental structure of the Act cf 1914. It waa on the understanding that this was net to take place. that the present House of Commons wzis elected. The position, therefore, stated briefly, is this. The Act of 1914 must be put into opera- tion or it must not. If it is to be put into operation then th&t sum of one million pounds which is being voted under the present Bill with the Welsh Church Commissioners to carry out the financial clauses of the original Act, is an absolute financial necessity. If, however, the standpoint of your corres- pondents is that the Act of 1914 should not be put into operation that in the first place is a direct violation of the understanding en which the last General Election wais fought, and secondly it is the last thing desired by the Welsh people. None of tho Welsh Liberal members protends that the Bill en- tirely satisfies them, but it dees *at any rate provide a settlement. and is therefore to be preferred to the suggestion of your corres- pondents that the rate cf interest and ,t!:e value of tithe fixed in the Act of 1914 should be clianged-P. suggestion which in- volves a material alteration of one cf the principles of that Act and the reopening, with its unforseona-ble consequences, of the whole controversy. Wet feel sure that this will be the view of the great majority of the Welsh people, and when they find that Messrs Haydn I Jones. Sydney Robinson and Major David Davies, went into the divis on lobby against the present Bill in the company of Lord Hugh Cecil and Lord Robert Cecil they will indeed have had a. final demonstration of the reason- ableness and the justice of the present settle- ment.

SCIE^CE'ANErINDUSTRY It is not an uncommon remark that one of the reasons British Manufacturers have not held their own against other naiions is that .1- _l.nt-r1 +t.1. -ç 'Have wie auuii UIL »IU<J VI their business and have no', availed them- selves of the advantages to be obtained from the co-operation of scientific fact and mer- selves of the advantages to be obtained from the co-operation of scientific fact and mer- cantile knowledge. But this is by no means true of all. There are many British Manu- facturers who have long recognised the value of science, and by patient reaerch hase im- lyrown apd stnndardjsed their products for the mutual advantage of consumer and sup- plier. Ta;ke tht case of such a homely article as insect powder. Who would think that any manufacturer would give years of work to investigate such a product its uses, and its po.^nbilit es ? It remains, however, a fact- it has been done. That is why when you see ai roach or a flea there flashes into your mind at the same moment the word "Keat- ing's." Of coarse you know that you have only to bring- the powder into proper contact with the insect and the latter dies. They all do.

the opinion of leading artists of pictures which have influenced them has led to the discovery that Van Dyck, the great Flemish artist, drew the hands of his wifo in all the wonderful portraits which he painted. The connoisseur is said to distinguish a Van p»vck by looking a.t this feature of a picture. It isi, by the way, not known that Lady Frank Newnes is a des- cendant of Lady Van Dyck. A well-known artist discovered this fact when he noted the resemblance her hands bore to those in the Van Dyck pictures. Lady Mary Ruthven, wife of Van Dyck was her ancestresn. Afc-er her husband's death she became the second wife of Sir R chard Pryse, Gogerddan. There are many examples of .his form cf heredity, of personal charac eristics being transmitted through generations. OLD TEETH
