DENBIGHSHIRE TEACHERS' SALARIES. COUNTY ASSOCIATION'S. DISSATISFACTION. AN EQUITABLE SCALE DEMANDED. The attitude of the Denbighshire Education Authority on question of teachers' toiarres met wwai conakiertttxe critkxsm at the cooier- enoe of the Denbigh Cownsy Association of Teachers, which waa held at Rhoa, near Rua- bon., on Saturday. The President (Mr R. B. fieaieli)," in moving a of thaii&a to hsPa Mr h. LawJS, r .u. who had secured an appointment in Etig.ki.riid, said thai it was a great pity thai Wales not keep ito own men simply beca-uee paltry £50 or so more would take tiicm from their own country, when an equal increase would 00 ve kept them, there to work far Waits. Mr R. H. Jones teeonded toe Mote of thanks, which, ear- ned. The fa'^or.vmg officers were elected:—Vict- 5resident, Ivlr E. J.

Roberts, which was adøp too council members ha.d been doing yeoman serYi rlI1 the year by arranging friendly chats with tho m*jmbers of the iiducation Committee, so that they might obtain (a) the formation of a. ceiteu-Utive com- BfcJstee with lepreaentativee of the teachers thereon, with t.iie object of meeting periodically to djacuss queitions appertaining to the welfare of their eciicois; and (b) arrangements for a oepuuaX.on on the salaries quet?t:on.

It was decided to hold the next annual meet- ing at Colwyn Bay. SCALE OF SALARIES DEMANDED. Mr J. E. Rogers, Pentre B rough ion, moved: "T}"a,t this meotiiig of Denbi gh&ftire teachers expresses its grave dsisaasfaction of the pre- sent system of granting irxrein-ciits of salaries adopted by tho Denbighshire Education, Com- mruce as bcingWliftdi¡..glbl<.1 azid unfair teachers, and educationally unbound; it further afiirm^ tliax for the well-being of education in the oounty it is essential that the goring anortauies in the teachers salaries and tho great injustice felt in the annual partial revision af salaries be removed by the adoption oi equit- able scaie of eaiju-iea, and that this resolution ce forwarded to rruerubenj of the Denbighshire Education Committee." Mr Refers said it was a matter of shame that it siiouid be necessary in the socalied pre- mier Welsh oounty to have to argue the reason- ableness of a scale of salaries. One w have thought that Denbighshire, with ite boasted progressive leaders, would be the first to admit the principle of a Living wage. For five years they had asked for a scale of sala- ries and Io. <m interview with the authority. Both had been denied them. Like Onver Twist, they dared not ask for more. Did it not seem hypocritical that the party which was loudest in killing Lord Peurhyn with their mouths for refusing to recognise the Quarry- men's Union WQre the same party who refused the teachers an interview ? Instances of glar- ing anomalies wore to ba found in nearly every Sahcci in the county, and the attempt at revi- tton only aggravated the question. They com- plained also of the method and baoia of annual revision of aaiaries. There wesne too many t&mgs done in tho dark, and with a scale of salaried it wouid not be necessary to have powerful friends in court to bear witoeaa to tbeir abilities, neither wouid they find it an advantage to belong to a certain denomination. Two great evils would vascab—favouriciam and cox- ruption. Mr D. S. Davi-ee, obairmain of titte Stafi and Supply Comsnit^e, had aa £ d by Dot adopting a they were a to rewaxd g-ood teacJaexs, and at use eame time witnhcld amcreafiea from teachers for merely long aoer- JiCCS. .tie (Mr Rogeps) contended undies a. •csue the rewards would be certain for good teaciiere, and not subject to tie capnoo ol m- ctviduai niejnbera of the cuuumtt.e. Good toaoGera would be encouraged by a scale, and tney were not confent to ieave it to too tender morcies of Mr DavJes. anxious d'&Mre to renard good toacners found "6wn in a. meecuig of the coimiisitteo to tibe extent of i;570 amongwt 700 teachers. Last j-ear per head of average attendance there were only two coun- ties an Wales whose teaciien> cost iesa than tiMae of Dcaibighslure—namely, Eimtahire and Radnorshire. Compared with England, Den- hi-ghshire stood tenth from too bottom of the tat. The average salaiy m Er^guuid for certi- ficated a& £ 0tanite> was Jbod 4s 3d ior women and £124 6s bd for men. It waa a question whether there was half a dozen oertruoated male élEsLs- tante W-lhJÐe salaries were i;1<X>, and the sarine waa true of the women. Too Board of Educa- tion had increased the suporamruation premium 10 per cent, on account of a general increase im ealaries. DembLghahire teeonerB had to pGyJ this, although tney cLd not got an increaee m sa-ary. AA an association they ahould not take things lying down, and appeal to the people. Their only hope of salvation WI4î.S by pointioal &cti.cm. Mr E. J. Roberts (Denbigh), in supporting the motion, said it seemed to him. very singu- lar that the Coimty Education Authority could not adopt a scale of salaries. They found meney for other purposes, such as £400 for a hockey fidd for girls a.t Ruth-in, £500 for tOO Brymbo legislation, and a. large sum of money on the Liysfaen inquiry. Hia school for 12 bad only received JS85 a year. He con- tended that headmasters had been largely in- etzrmriiental in securing a larger attendance grant by reason of thedr personal efforta. Too resolution was carriod writh enthusdssm. Mr Ernest Gray, M.A., a member of the) IxHidon County Council, aiterwarcfe delivered an interesting on Teachers' Hobbies." PLEA FOR THE COUNTRY CHILD. Mr R. B. Seareli, who is the first rural teacher to be president od the County ia- tion, after drawing a comparison of the meagre curccuhtm of, say 25 years ago and the ample and generous one of the present day, went on to observe that there was no nobler work in the whole teaching jirofession than that of these who laboured under difficulties jn the rural eohoous. tOO great r-eispon&ibiii't(y' toat rested upon them they were worthy otfi better remuneraticai than paid a.t present. Some xaifitreaaes of rural schools weiv. not as well paid as domestic servants, the wages of some being £30 a year arsd even less. Why, he asked, should the rural child be handicapped for life by a bad start owing to tho parsimony of an education authority? It was a matter of re- gret that the Education Committee had not eeen their way clear to aJJow the last increases of salaries to be made pubiio. Many returns came recently to his hand, and ho was greatly struck by the fact that the teachers who were considered exceptionally meritorious were in a great majority of unqualified. Tbe poor rural teacher was left marking time. The speaker went on. to dwell on the improvement of school equipment and staff, and showed how the education authority was paying an increased grant per head than was done during the first six months tie Act came into force. He main- tained that they should have qualified teachers in the country schools, and argnjed that tho country child should not be sacrificed to the parsimony of an education authority. He then Wen* on to show how the rural ratepayer was paying more in rates than came back to the district. In the Yale of CJwyd. district the amount was £1000. He also advocated that the transference from the elementary school to the county school should be by the nomination of the teacher. No country should fail to give the best opportunities to the child to develop its capabilities, and no country could afford to Delect its intellectual welfare. In conclusion, be advocated tbe establishment of a farm Bchool in different parts of the country, which would be of great service to the community and beep forward the small holdings movement (ap- plause). These aohools would become the oentre of aJ a&rioukural interests in the district, and lead to a system of co-operation whioh was essen- tiaJ to progress. A resolution was moved by Mr D. E. Rees (Pantre Broughton), seconded by Mr Williams (Rhos Junior School), urging upon the educa. SKA autborrty the need of forming a. oonsru]ta.tive TOnamttee, composed of representatives of the Edacataon Committee and the teachere of the county, to meet periodically for the purpose of tion between the Education Commit toe and the teaohftra, and for disoiMsrng any ques- teem affecting the welfare of the schools of the Couofcy. Mr Ernest Gray said that after a roost ease- ful watch upon the proceedings of tOO eduoa- tion authorities he felt sure that nothing had ooetnbuted so much to progress erf eduoa- twn as the presence upon education committees oJ 000 or more teachers engaged in the schools of the dttinot. He very much regretted that m Decbighahire County CoujoeU had not oo. j r. 4 opted a twaober upon the KducaOon Oommittee, and he urged tbcm rnoet strongly to reconsider their posiItlColl, taspecialiy in vww of isdt that Paj-^oment, when the Education Act was d ccusfTed, aipparently bad no doubt that teaei>erj. would be co-opted jitet as women, wore W be. One important ret&oil wily they sbcuid be co-opted was shait the teachers' repneoetita- Sum would »ee that decisiciiB iiiould not bo overlooked by officials if fcbey happened to be unpalatable. Mr Gray gave an intcreetki^f address oa "New Types of Schools." PROGRESS OF EDUCATION. POSITION IN THE PRINCIPALITY. A pubiio ineetkig was held at Rhos on Fri- day ki oonnectiorfi with the conference of too County Associatkxa of Teaabera. Pr J. C. Davies (cbaarmao) tiioughit that the educaitwSn of tOO present day was too academic atod not sufficiently practioal. He should also hke to tee an extension of the system of drill introduced to the øubooe of the oountry, Mr Ernest Gray, M.A., L.C.C., delivered an interesting addre^-s showing the enormoius pro- groeæ nwde in education and oducational facaa- t:œ since 1870, the year in which, the natifmalisa- Uon of public education took its rise. In Wales alone, in 1906, there were 1030 council schools and 744 voiumtary oohoo; and council schools in Wales had increased to 1133, while the voluntary schools had only slightly decreased, from 744 to 690. But perhaps the figures show. inig the accommodation provided in the schools exhibited in a more striking light the increase wliich had taken plaoe. For instance, while in 1906 the council schools provided acoonMnodaftion for 352,412 children, that same type of school gave in 1909 accommodation for 390,954 chil- dren—nearly 400,000; while the voluntary school accommodation had only fallen from 141,976 to 131,140 in the same period. He thought there were two lessons to be drawn from these figures. First, that school buiktr^ had now practically caught up with the popiriation, and that there waa now a scihool piaoe for every child. He did not mean t.o say that th-a,t pxioe was always in the right situation; but, roughly speaking, acrhcol building had practioally caught up witn the school population. The other lecson to be iearrat was that if the voluntary system W1< destined to extinction, as some professed, the progress in that direction was exoeedintgl y stow. Indeed, a merely superficial examination of the figures showed clearly that the voluntary echoed system had still the sympathy of a very iarg-e section of the p-ubHc.

ENDEAVOUREKS' CONFER. ENCE AT COLWYN BAY. REVIVAL OF THE C.E. MOVEMENT. j The Christian Endeavour movement, at OIls time a oonspicuous and vigorous branch of evan- gelistic work in Britain, is reported to be again making refreshing progress in various parts of the country. With the object of furthering the revival a conference of endeavourers and others in sympathy with the movement was held at the Lecture Hall, Colwyn Bay, yesterday (Wednesday) aftcrncon, followed in the evening by a public meeting. Two of the leaders in Welsh endeavour—Rev. D. J. Roberts, Abersychan, secretary of the Welsh National Union, and the Rev. W. Thomas, Gwersyllt, secretary to the Northern Division of the Union—were in attendance, and took prin- cipal part at both meetings. In the afternoon the ItBv. W. Thomas explained why he and his colleague were in attendance, and made a statement bearing upon the fact that there is evidence in the WreJiliam Union, as in other parts of North Wales of a very inspiring waaken- ing and renewed interest in the endeavour move- ment (hear, hear). Having introduced the Rev. D. J. Roberts to the assembly, the speaker trans- ferred the conduct of the meeting to his col- league. Mr Roberts, who spoke with a fluency and im- prcssiveness that riveted the attention of his hearers, gave certain facts, and dealt with the principles, aims and methoids of the C.E. move- ment. He emphasised that its object was dis- tinctly spiritual. There were many movements in the country which provided for the intellectual enlightenment of the poople, but it was indis- pensable in the present condition of affairs that some provision be made for their spiritual deve- lopment, &nd the C.E. movement existed solely for that purpose. Many a society had really been ruined by being converted into a sert of debating class, but so long as they adhered strictly to the pledge, motto and mission of the C.E. move- ment succcs3 undoubtedly attended the work (hear, hear). He related by way of an illustra- tion the working of his own junior endeavour society, which he regarded as the intermediate stage between the Sunday School and the Church, and in connection with which a great work was possible for the retention of the interest of their boys and girls in Church work (hear, hear). Questions were asked at the close, and an- swered in a helpful manner by Mr Roberta. PLEDGE, MOTTO AND MISSION. In the evening the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, pastor of tho Colwyn Bay English Congregational Church, presided. The Revs. D. J. Roberts and W. Tliomas again spoke. The former dealt with the movement, its pledge, motto and mission. Simplicity he said was the C.E. pledge. He em- phasised the holy restraint of the pledge and its inspiration to young people. The motto was "Stand for Christ and the Church, the confession of Christ, servioe for Christ, fellowship with Christ's people, and loyalty to Christ's Chnrch." It3 mission was evangelisa- tion-bringing in all people who are not interested in Christian work as much as possible for which work they had their "look-out committees," whilst they had their "sunshine committeo" to minister and cheer. They endeavoured to make their organisation in perfect harmony with the Evangel of Christ; their work and organisation had behind them the dynamic of Pentecost (ap- plause).

RHOS G'EErEN GAIiDEN CITY ENTERPRISING MOVEMENT AT COLWYN BAY. Situate on the Marine Drive, overlooking the wide sweep of Rhos Bay (writes a correspondent) stands the latest development of garden village design. On the one hand the undulating outline of the Little Orme Qips down to the sea, while on the other peak on peak of blue mountain range. Near at hand, and forming the background of the picture, stand the grassy slopes of Bryn Euryn, where the sheep graze within the ruins of the palace of Maelgwn Gwynedd. A visit to the estate brought many pleasant surprises—tile covered and with their walls pebble- dashed, white and sparkling in the early morn- ing sunlight, the well-designed houses group themselves pleasantly into gently curving avenues, each house having its own garden and verandah over which the clematis is being trained to grow. All day long tho busy city worker, spending a week-end in his reposeful seaside home, enjoys the weloeme retreat from the noisy town. and when the purple evening mist begins to chill a wide ingle nook invites him to the comforts of the fireside. It has now long been an established fact that the inexpensive seaside or country cottage need be neither crude nor jerry built, and in the pre- sent instance an attempt has been successfully made to meet the demand of the upper middle class citizen, by giving him an artistic and com- fortable cottage where all holidays may be spent, and where the retired elders of the family may spend their days in the invigorating and reposeful air of the seaside far from the maddening crowd It may be of interest to know that a house consisting of drawing room, dining roem, kitchen, etc., and three or four bedrooms, with bathroom, are being built for £300, the best corners of the estate being, where possible, reserved for larger houses. A goodly portion of the land is being laid out as private pleasure gardens where ever- greAs and flowering shrubs will afford a plea- sant touch of colour all the year round. By careful laying out of the ground, and by judi- oious control of the estate, the development and the future welfare of the district will be assured and it is the hope of the promoters to maintain the reposeful character of the locality and the natural beauties of the situation, by building ten instead of forty houses to the acre. One regrets to see so many pleasant watering- places spoiled by the building of streets of houses monotonous in their repetition, and all set out on hard lines, and constructed of materials un- suitable for the locality, and out of keeping with the artistic setting of the surrounding coun- try. All the houses on the estate are being de- signed to suit the individual tastes of their pur- chasers, and each plan embodies the characteristic wishes of their prospective occupiers. In order to have a house ready for next Easter it should be commenced before the frosty wea- ther sets in, and the architects, Mr Sydney Moss, A.R.I.B.A., of 4, St. Ann's Square, Manchester, and Mr Joseph Pearoe, 01 Royal Insurance Buildings, Liverpool, have a good store of designs for those who are houseseekers, to oboose from, and ai prices to suit all pockets. Many will look forward with great interest to the future of tbia dwli|.litful fitatQ, f

PRESENTATION TO REV. T. E. TIMOTHY. INTERESTING CEREMONY AT LLANDRILLO. A FAITHFUL CHURCH WORKER. Much to the regret of the parishioners, the Rev. T. E. Timothy, who has been curate at i-.iacdri 11 o-vn-Kbos for the past seven years, is leaving, he having been appointed Vicax of tho parish of Rhesycae, Flintahirc. Whilst at Llan- drillo Mr Timothy has rendered invaluable ser- vice to his church and the community, for there ha.s been no movement initiated in the district for the advancement of the district and its inhabi- tants but has found in him a practical and indus- trious supporter. His pending departure offered the parishioners an opportunity of marking their appreciation of his work, and they promptly availed themselves of it. At a public meeting, hdd in the Church Room, Llandrillo, on Monday evening, he was presented with an illuminated address, an album, and a cheque for P.60 odd. The address was iBecribed as follows :—To the Reverend Thomas Evans Timothy, B.A.—Upon your departure from Llan- drillo-yn-Rhos to take up your duties as Vicar of Rhesycae, Flintshire, we, your neighbours and friends, desire your acceptance of the accom- panying cheque, as a mark of our high esteem for your character and your devotion to duty during the seven years you have laboured amongst us as curate with such conspicuous suc- cess. The unfailing willingness displayed in your work hero and your ready sympathy have en- deared you to many hearts: we part from you with sincere regret. We offer you our heartiest congratulations on your approaching marriage, and we trust that you wi-I ) -ed with every REV. T. E. TIMOTHY, I success in your new parish, and that the future holds for you and your wife a store of great happiness." It was signed by the following, who constituted the Presentation Committee:—E. James Evans (chairman), Robert Barlow, John H. Glover, Henry King, J. W. Phillips, T. Griffiths, Robert Grundy, Thomas Meadows, and Herbert Spencer (hon. treasurer). The album was a handsome volume, bound in dark blue morocco, with Mr Timothy's initials atnboseed in gold letters on the cover. On the first page were sketches of Llandrillo Chnrch and the Church Roem, reproduced from etchings, and the next two pages contained the address, beau- tifully illuminated, and the facsimile signatures of the members of the committee, whilst the last three pages contained the names of the other subscribers to the testimonial, who numbered in all 165. The Vicar of Llandrillo, Rev. E. James Evans (chairman of the Presentation Committee) pre- sided over an overflowing attendance. Master A. Fitz Brc « n, of the Rhos Preparatory School, opened the proceedings with a cleverly- played pianoforte solo. after which the Rev. R. D. Hughes, Colwyn Bay, gave an excellent ren- dering of "The Nights." Mr Hughes responded to an enthusiastic encore with "Thora." The Llandrillo Quartette, consisting of the Rev. E. James Evans, Mr and Mrs Glover (Rhos Prepara- tory School), and Miss Towser having sung, The Chairman proceeded to explain the object of the meeting. He remarked that they wished to make that presentation as a slight token-a very inadequate one, he admitted-of their deep appreciation of all the good work Mr Timothy had done, and of all the benefits he had con- ferred upon them during the years he had spent among them. It seemed only the other day that he came amongst them, a pale, thin, but never- theless interesting young fellow-oaugliter),-and they had given him a hearty welcome. The ex- cellent atmosphere at Rhos had dono him good, and-to reverse an old saying-he was now the self and SUBSTANCE OF HIS FORMER SHADOW (cheers and laughter). They were going to hand him over in that strong, healthy state, to his new flock at Rhesycae. They woulcl hand him over very unwillingly. Had they their own selfish way, thoy perhaps would want to keep him at Llandrillo, for they had learnt to love him (hear, hear). Although they congratulated the good people of Rhesycac in having him, they could not help but feel a grudge against them for taking him away from them. They would have liked to have had him with them always, but he trusted that he would be happy amongst his new parishioners (cheers). To say "good-bye" to dear friends was never a pleasurable task, and in this case it was anything but pleasurable. When they looked baelc upon tho years that Mr Timothy had spent among them, they looked upon memory pictures of happy associations, sweet conferences and pleasant acquaintanceship. Mr Timothy and he had spent a happy time together in the parish; they had been more like brothers than anything else (hear, hear). As a colleague, he could never have had anyone to help and please him more bv acting according to his wishes than Mr Timothy had done, as he had been sympathetic and helpful, and cheerful in all times of trouble and anxiety (hear, hear). He would miss his good qualities and sound judgment in the future. Mr Timothy had been like one of the family at the Vicarage, and lie (the speaker) had always wished that it should be so (hear, hoar). In conclusion, the Vicar referred to the good work which Mr Timothy had dono amongst the children, and also among the young men, in the latter case by his work in connection with the Church Club. Nothing, ha added, was more lasting than a firmly established friendship, and he hoped that in the future Mr Timothy and himself would often meet on the same friendly terms as in the past. He wished both Mr Timothy and his wife a long and happy life in their new homo (cheers). THE PRESENTATION. The Hon. Secretary and Treasurer of the move- ment (Mr Herbert Spencer) then read the address, and the presentation was made to Mr Timothy by the senior Churchwarden of the parish, Mr Robert Barlow, who wished Mr Timothy a long and prosperous life in his new parish (cheers). Mr R. Grundy, in the course of a few remarks, said that although a comparatively new resident at Llandrillo, he was exceedingly pleased to asso- ciate himself with the testimonial to Mr Timothy. In whatever circle of Church work they had known Mr Timothy they had all learnt to ap- preciate his good work and sterling qualities— (hear, hear),-whilst his quiet, natural, and plea- sant manner had won the approval of them all (cheers). Temptations assailed even the most remote aricl solitary positions of life, but he be- lieved that Mr Timothy was morally sound, and so prepared for any of those temptations. From what he had heard of the young lady whom Mr Timothy was about to marry, he believed that he had chosen wisely and well. There were only TWO RULES IN WEDLOCK and life generally which be would like to recom- mend to Mr Timothy. One was to know what he wanted, and the other was to make sure that he got it (laughter and cheers). He felt sure that should Mr Timothy return at any time to Llandrillo he would receive a hearty welcome from the parishioners thero (applause). Mr Spencer remarked that he had been ap- pointed to a good many offices as treasurer in the parish, and ho felt something like what a tax collector must feel, for he was always going round with the hat (laughter). However, in re- gard to that movement, he had received such a number of complimentary letters with regard to Mr Timothy that the task had been quite a pleasant one (hear, hear). He pointed out that he had noticed a steady growth in power in Mr Tomithy as a preacher during the past four years, and he believed that the growth would continue (hear, hear). In conclusion, Mr Spencer referred to the efforts of Mr Timothy in establishing a Church Club, and expressed the opinion that in connection with that work Mr Timothy had laboured harder than all the rest of the helpers put together (ebeeni). Rev. LI. A. Richards, Old Colwyn, also paid a tribute to Mr Timothy as A SOUND FRIEND, and also as one who could give sound advice. The latter trait, he said, was a good tiling in a clergyman. He referred to the excellent work which Mr Timothy had done in the Penycae, Connah's Quay, and Llandrillo parishes. RECIPIENT'S REPLY. Tha Rev. T. E. Timothy, who spoke under deep feeling, remarked in reply that he had been with them for many years now, and the chief tie out of the many ties which bound him to Llan- drillo would be the tie which bound a man to anyone to whom he owed his life, for he sincerely believed that were it net for the help and kind sympathy extended.to him by the people of Uan- drillo in his ifinam when he first came there, ho would never have been able to sustain himself whilst he underwent the treatment which in his caso worked a cure (hear, hear). He thanked the Vicar and Mrs Evans. One of the ohief regrets of leaving Llandrillo would be at leaving the Vicarage, where he had received the greatest kindness asd sympathy (hear, hear). If his life in his new parish would be only as happy as that he had had at Llandrillo he weuld have happiness indeed, and bo thanked all from the bottom of his heart for the presentation, and for the kind wishes expressed that evening (cheers). Miss Clarsen, of Dinglewood, Colwyn Bay, then sang a solo, and the quartette gave another ren- dering, which brought the meeting to a happy close.

CARNARVONSHIREMOUN- TAINEERING FATALITY. A MANCHESTER CLIMBER KILLED. A fatal mountaineering aoaidont occurred at Drwsyooed, some two or tiaree miles from Rhyddy diu, on Sunday. A party of three men were making the ascent of Cam, whíOb ordinarily is not dangerous, and is not much sought after by climbers. Owing, it is thought, to a detached piece of rock coming into cocttact with it the rope to which the party was attached was cut, and, one of them, a Swiss gie-ntleman, named Mr Stoop, was precTa4ed down the mountain side, a d of 300 ieat, and sustained injuries from which he succumbed soon afterwards. Two mcoube-rs of the Alpine Club, who were roped to him, had a narrow escape. The body was brought to Drwsyoood, and Dr. Owen, PenygToes, had meanwhile come up, but life was extinot. According to later information, the deceased gentleman was a resident of Man- dhester, and was one of a party of six who, stay- ing at Beddgelert, crossed ovelr the mountain on Sunday. THE INQUEST. The inqiKist on the body of Mr Anton Stoop waa held on Tuesday. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. During1 tho proceedings Mr Stoop's colleagues acknowledged the great kindness of the people of the district, and the Coroner remarked that, though the Welsh villagers might not be able to understand tho climber's passion for. attempting these ascents, their hearts went out in sympathy to the people wlho suffered from such accidents. The funeral took plaoe shortly after the in- quests

A HOSPITAL N U-RSE ADVISES ZAM-BUK. THE MAGIC HEALER AND FAMILY FRIEND. A hospital nurse, bearing how Mrs K. Smith of 102, Baptist End, Netiherton, nr. Dudley had suffered for five years from the burning biting pain of an ulcerated amkie, strongly recom- mended Zam-Buk to her. How tibia balm djaarmed the pain away and healed the obstinate sore, Mrs Smith explained to the "Brrmingiiain Echo." "My legs began to pain me severely over five yeaxa ago," she said, "and the veins stood out lake knotted oords. The doctor told me I must rest my legs as much as possible. He also gave me lotion to bathe them with. I followed the doctor's treatment carefully, only to find the skin of my right leg break just below the ankle and discharge watery matter. I didn't know what it was to be free from pain night or day. Sit- ting, standing or lying down the aching, weary- ing pain was alwayg there, and nearly drove me mad. "I tried many kinds of aheap ointments and remedies, and also attended the Dispensary for over throe months. Here they gave me an elastic stacking to wear, as well as lotioas and ointments, but the wound continued to discharge and spread. The torture I suffered for months and months was awful One day a hospital nurse came in, and when she saw my leg she said 'Try Zam-Buk; I have proved its worth many a tÍloo.' "Although I did not think I should derive much benefit from even this highly recommended balm, I decided to give Zam-Buk. a trial. So I got a box. After the first few dressings of Zam-Buk I be,-an to feal relief from the burning sensation, as the balm soothed the gnawing pain. I continued with Zam-Buk, which seemed to draw all the badness from my leg, and tbe hole gradually filled up with healthy fteeh. A splen- did new skkin then grew over the raw place. The pains and burning feeling had left my legs altogether and I could again walk about quite comfortably, without feeling least weakness in my legs. I owe all this to the magic of Zam-Buk. "My husband alao found Zam-Buk splendid when he cut his elbow in the coal-mine. Our child, Tommy, aged seven, bad a swollen face from a blow he got while at play. I batlwxi the place well and applied Zam-Buk, which soon took the pain away and reduced the swelling, We call Zam-Buk OUT family friend, and always have a box in our

A crowded Court listened with keen atten- tion to a case of considerable importance to hotel proprietors, at tbe Llandudno Petty Sessions, on Monday, when, before Mr Eplhraiza Wood (in the chair) and other jus- tices, John Sheriff Roberts, occupier of Quoen'e Hotel, Llandudno, was summoned for an allegad breaa of the Factory Acts, in connection with the hotel laundry. Miss E. Sadler, H.M. Senior Lady Inspector of Factories, conducted the prosecution, whilst Mr R. S. Chairfberlain (Messrs Cham- berlain and Johnson, Llandudno) was for the defence. Miss Sadler remarked at theouts.et that the case had been before the Court in A-tigust last, and adjourned upon a point raised by Mr Chamberlain. Mr Chamberlain I don't raise that point now, so we can go on. Miss Sadler, proceeding-, said the Laundry Act of 1907 had brought all lauadriee into line, and it regarded a place attached to a hots] or any such ploce where laundry work was carried out in much the same way as on ordinary public institution. In this case, the defendant was the occupier of the Queen's Hotel, and under the Act of 1907 he was en- titled to employ .persons in the hotel laundry from six to six o'clock, seven to seven, or eight to eight, according to the arrange- mellts decided upon. He should also put up in the laundry an abstract of the Government atWn8 governing laundries. Miss F. J. Taylor, one of H.M. Inspectors of Factories, said that on Time 25th last she visited the laundry at the Queen's Hotel, Llandudno, in company with Mies Meikle- john, another of His Majesty's Inapecters, They entered the hotel laundry about 5.15 p.m., and found Gladys Barrow and Ellen Striager at work, lie hours of employment usually allowed in such places were six to six, seven to seven, or eight to eight, and on Saturdays six to two, seven to three, or eight to four. She found the two girls at work at 5.15 on this particular Saturday. They saw the manageress of the hotel, and witness pointed, out to her the nature of the offence. She said she did not know the women were illegally employed. Witness saw no state- ment ox the Factory Acts in the laundry. It woe very much like an ordinary I.-i-undry-a place downstairs in the basesaent set apart for the purposes of a laundry. Mr Chamberlain (cross-examining): Did the girl Gladys Barrow tell you anything? Witness: She said she had been there be- fore at -work that day. Mr Chamberlain; But that is not evidence. What was she doing? Was she not ironing? -.Yea, she was ironing en under-skirt. Which may have been her own for all you know?—Except for what she told me. Further cross-examining, Mr Chamberlain asked the witness whether in common fair- ness and deeency the Inspector should not first have given a warning to the hotel peo- ple? Miss Taylor: No. You think that the public money should be spent in paying salaries to people to jump on citiaeais without notice at all? That is your idea of your duties.-It is not my idea of my duties. ARE LODGING-HOUSES AFFECTED. If you are right in your view, every lodging-house in this town that docs its own washing coiaes under the Factory Act?—I should not think that would 'be so. How are you to distinguish?—I aliould not call a lodging-bouse a public institution. Why have not you visited the boarding- houses where they do their own washing?— For the xeaAoin that I was not told to. Were y<m told specially to eiagle out the Queen's Hotel?—No. My instructions were to inspect the laundries in the hotels in North Wales. Replying to furthex questions, Miss Taylor said that she had not previously visited the Queen's. She accompanied Miss Meiklejohn, another inspector, who asked to see the laun- dry. Mar Cbamberlein: Did elr6 say: "I do not want the manageress. I want to see the laundry?" Misa Taylor: I do not remember that she did. If it was said, is that a proper way of mak- ing a first call at a respectable hoW? It all depends on the tone in which you say it. Was not Miss Meiklejohn told she should not speak in that tone? At any ratp you dis- approve of the tone?—I disapprove of any off-ensive tone. Did not you actually hustle the lady down and eimost rush by her—I do not say you knocked her down—to get to the laundry? (laughter).—It is absolutely untrue. Nothing of the sort. Had you any suspicion that the was any secrecy and that there was some attempt to forestall your visit?—I do not say so; we were some time in getting down. As it was your first visit to the hotel, don't you think it would have been more decent to have asked for tho-manageress of the hotel?— No. Why not?—Because we have had experience of overtime visits. Did you suspect that some rich capitalist was sweating tihe poor women to death? Is that why you did it?—No. Did you get a feeling that you were being baulked or delayed in any way?—There is always that suspicion in our minds when we are delayed. In treply to the Gerk, Miss Taylor said there were no machinery in the laundry apart from what was worked by hand. Re-examined by Miss Sadler: She had visit- ed the laundries of all hotels at Llandudno, according to instructions. She expected to find .an abstract of the Act in the laundry, but found none. Mr Chamberlain submitted that there was no case for him to answer, but The Bench decided that the case should proceed. THE DEFENCE. Mr Chamberlain then addressed the Court for the defence. With regard to the ques- tion of employment, he submitted that there was no evidence before the Court proving that the women observed in the laundry at work were laundry women, and before they could convict it must be proved that Mr Roberts employed the women in question as laundry hands. For all they knew the woman Barrow may have been doing nothing more than ironmg her own skirt. It was not

his fault that Barrow was not in Court; Miss Sadler could have subpoenaed her in time. lie urged that the place was 'not a laundry with- in the meaning of the Act. He did not think it was suggested by Miss Sadler that any washing was done there for gain? Miss Sadler I suggest anything, be- cause I have no knowledge of wha.t is done there. I suggest that the laundry work is ancillary to the business. Mr Chamberlain: But if yom say this woman was employed for gain, I shall hav-t to address the Bench upon that point. Miss Sadler: Very well; I will waive that point, and say it is simply ancillary to the other business. Mr Chamberlam proceeded to read the Section of the Act under consideration and urged that the words "another business" after the word "ancillary" implied another laundry business and in this case there was no other larisfelry buaineaa. He would call conclusive evidence showing that nothing was washed in that laundryother than the linen and similar articles used iu the hotel and also that too only two people employed in the lawn-dry were two employed as domestic servants living1 the hotiso—people who attended to Uheir own bed- rooms made their own beds and were employed as laundry maids in the ordinary way. They had practically no fixed hours a;ad were subject to practically no supervision. Tha object of the Act was to protect women an cases of over- work and if there had been a technical offence (which he certainly didi not admit) it was so tiny a technical offence that it should not be allowed to infiueaice the decision of the Bench, because there bad! been nothing like overwork about the Before going any further he must put it strongly that the actions of the lady inspectors who went into that house was open to criticism. Was it right for a person on going into the hoW for the first time to say "Wo don't want to see the manageress, but your laundry. We have been delayed long enough?" If tha.t was the way for a paid public ofiicial to treat any citizen of this country the sooner the better a stop was put to it and also when regulations of oondiuot for inspectors were made out and suspended in factories in OOIIWDOE with those regulating the conditions and hours of labour. If, as was con- tended, SLUAI places as the laundry at that hotel came uixler the Act of 1907 was it conceivable tihatl some steps should not have beera. takern to acquaint the managers of the fact? The Govern- ment departments sent out notices for most, if not all puipoeeeof that kind;they bad had a good imwiy about the Finance Act lately. Miss Sadler: Does my frieaid want ANOTHER FORM IV. 2 (laaighter). Mr Chamberlain^ oontamirrg*, said Miss Sadler ared that the laundry was ancillary to the hotel business in that case. By that, Miss Sadler said she meant toat the lawaKlry work was dome to assist the business. Miss Sadier: I say at is helpful oa* instrumental to— Mr Chamberlain: I don't know where you get your meaning of t'he word from? Miss Sadler: From the dict-onary. Mr GbAmberlam: Well I have got it fom Stroud's "Dictionary of Legal Terms" whose authority I supjoso we may accept both of us. The definition in Stroud's is: "work is ancillary to a trade or business when it is not necessary thereto. The washing Œ. the linen at a hotel is neoooeary and therefore part and parcel of the business or process carr-odi out in. the hotel. Mr Chamber lain prooeeded to quote Section I. of the-Workmen's Compensation Act, 1897, as showing that tho meaning of the word ancillary in a statute was virtually the SöHle as that gwen by Stro.ud. After quoting certain authorities, Mr Chamberlain, agreed that it was as necessary to do the washing of hotel linen, etc., as it was to clear the furniture, or the house or do the rooking. A great deal of work done in hotel laundries—such as the cleaning of table napkins, sheets, etc.,—could not be done very well in pub- Mo laundries on account of the expense. It was generally koown tbat napkins, sheets, etc., which had been only used once were merely sprinkled in water, mangled or ironed befora they were brought again into use. Miss Sadlr, referring to one point in Mr Chamberlain's address, resnarked that the sec- tion read "another business" not "another laundry." Mr Chamberlain: And my contention is that that "other business" implies a laundry. MargaTet Cairns, housekeeper at the Queen's Hotel, said she had been employed at the hotel fo twelve months. Two or three small rooms were set apart for laundry purposes, but there was ml machinery. Two women were employed in the laundry for four months in the summer and for eight months there was only one woman. Mr Chamberlain: Is there any over-looking in regard to tthesc women ? Witness: Yes, I go down to see that they have work in the morning, and after that I get it up. But is there any restriction in time?—None whatever. As long as the work da done they can sit down as long as they like andl READ NOVELS IF THEY LIKE? —They do. And you don't object?—Not so long aa they do their work. There is no supervision throughout the day by anybody?—No real supervision. You do n-oj washing at all but the washing of the hotel ?—No, and not all of that. Witness related what had transpired between her and Miss Meiklejohn and added that the lat- ter was in a "bad temper," and "certainly thought we wore trying to obstruct her." Cross-examined: On the morning in question the girls got up about 6.30a.m, and went out to bathe (laughter). They started work about 8.30 She never bothered anything about the girls till about 10 a.m., when she went to see that they had their work. Mias Sadler: This is a large hotel and you have enough other work to do, I suppose ? Witness: Not too much. You se.e I am not overworked (laughter). Miss Sadler having replied to Mr Chamber- lain's legal arguments, The Bench retired and on their return to court The Chairman said the justices were of opinion that the laundry at the hotel (fi: d not come under the Act, and they therefore dismissed the case. It was decided to state a case for appeal if the Home Offioe decided to take the matter further, and three guineas were awarded Mr Chamberlain by way of a special advocate's fee on account of the unusual amount of work in- volved en connection with the case.

BRONCHITIS AND BLOOD SPITTING. The result of Influeuza cured by VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mr James Lydon, King-street, Port Glasgow, N.B., writes:—"I was lately the vic- tim of a severe attack of influenza, which left me with a terrible bronchitis and blood spitting. I was in a bad way, medicine did me no good, and my general weakness, shortness of breath, and coughing got worse. At last I tried Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, and although I only used one bottle, the result was marvellous, I felt immediate relief, the coughing and blood spitting' stopped and now I am quite strong and in fact a now man.

W0RTHINGT0N~$r CO. A FAMOUS BOTTLING FIRM. One of the most artistic stands at the Brewers' Exhibition at the Olympia this week is that which appears jointly in the names of Messrs Worthington, of Burton-on-Trent, and Messrs Messrs Culley, of Moorfields, who do the bottling of the famous beers brewed by the first- named honse. It represents a charming old English hostelry, in half-timbered style, while growing roses and festoons of hops over the doorway give it a most picturesque touch. Con- siderable space was necessary here, as during the week is was a centre to which many buyers wended their way, for it is well recognised throughout the trade that, while the ales them- selves are of the highest quality, the care that is exercised in the bottling commends thom especially to the retail customers. Perhaps the best proof that could be adduced as to their rapidl-y-exbending popularity is that they have had to enlarge repeatedly the stores at St. Pancras, which now oover more than an acre. To tihe already long list of their country agencies, they have recently added new branches at Walsall, South-port, Rhyl, and Llandudno, and at the present time are making considerable de- velopments through the grocers, who find that these ales are especially well adapted to family requirements. In the flat or the small house, bottled 'beers are muob more conveniently stored than casks, and these appeal on their own merits to the consumers who oan appreciate flavour, Clearness, and the refreshing propertied that t.bel.. .£. i. v ■■■ > '1,
