Procajiy the dishonest folk are only a minority, but they iay even the honest cues open to suspicion. TAKING THE CAKE. The most common of the malpractices in- dulged in were outlined by the managers of two Leeds cafes as follows: — Taking two or three oa-ies from a plate, and, later, saying tuey have oniy had oiie. Endeavouring by various ruse. to leave the cafe without paying their bills, and evading part of the payment by pacing sixpences as shillings. Puricinir.g spoons, knives, and gongs from the tables, &nd electric light g.obes, towels, acil even toilet rolls from the lava- tories. In a cafe iii which about 80 dozen fancy cakes are sold every day it is stated that waitresses have to keep a most careful eye upon every plate or stand of cakes.

Mr. Lot Thomas then addressed the meeting and spoke of the Act which was passed during the war 11 calling up men ior re-exammation, The N.Jb\L>. 1 and D.S.S. was then loaned and did good work. lie then went on to speak of the society known as the Comrades of the Great War, which, he stated, was started by the Government to make a division among the men. Last April, he proceeded, the National Union of ex-service men was started. The. Govern- ment had got men in the Federation and Comrades of the Great War to combine forces to fight their Union, j Colonel Brock Williams, he continued, had advised men not to join as the other societies (N.F.D. and D.D.S. and C.G.W.) were amalgamating. Colonel Williams could enforce his" advice in France but he could not there. The speaker then had some hard things to say against officers In general. MORE "FIGHTING," Mr. Corteril followed and said they were out not to fight the N.F.D. and D.S.B., but to .fight tha class that fought them. • The meeting was then open for ques- tions and Mr. C. F. Presley (N.F.D. and D.D.S.) asked several, including: How can the' Labour Party claim to be the friend of the service men when they permitted strikes when the men were out iightinz? The Chairman, replying, said it was on purely economic conditions. If the manufacturers had not been piling up millions the strikes need not have happened.. Captain Aubrey Williams said he wa £ there representing j'iis brother, who was away. and who had been challenged to apnear. Mr. Lot Thomas said there were officers whom the men would do any- thing for, but others were dogs-the majority of them. He had challenged Colonel Williams to come there and advise the men not to join that TTnion. They did not want any pious non-party bunkum." Captaitr Williams said he would an- swer any men who had served under his brother in the Swansea Battalion. No one, however, took advantage of the offer. Several question-? wer? put and an- swered. f

Studt, intimating j his wish to give the children of the Cottage Homes the usual treat on New Year's Day on the gondolas, 6wings, etc.. at Hafod Bridge, where the amuse- ments will be pitched, and also his inten- j tion to give the annual prizes to deserv- ing boys and girls at the day schools. The Superintendent submitted a list of names to the Clerk and Guardians. I Rev. M. Davies (Kiilay) and Father Har- rington were deputed to purchase the books. Many Guardians, as in foimeri years, promised additional prizes to those who were not fortunate enough in gain- ing Mr. Studt's.

I "NO POWER" I
I "NO POWER" I I For Swansea Municipal Milk. I A WOMEN'S MASS I PKOiriST. At Swansea Health Committee on ) Tuesday, Mr. David Williams presid- ing ? it was reported a circular had been received from the Ministry of Health on the subject of milk supplies to mothers and infants, and arising out oi this matter the Town Clerk read a letter from the Swansea Labour Association stating that a number of resolutions oi protest had been received on the m- creased prices, arid it was therefore re- solved that applications be made to the Swansea Health Committee to extend their powers with a view ( forming a I municipal supply so as to ensure a cheaper and better" supply of milk. The Town Clerk: You cannot muni- cipalise the supply of milk. The Chairman said that what the as- sociation had in mind was that they were asked to pay Is. a quart, and the difficulty was that although a man may be earning above the amount which I might include him in the list 01 no cessitous persons, he could not afford the milk for his children. The point of the application, he explained, was to f compel the vendors to bring down the price. He understood that the Corpor- ation had not the statutory powers to establish a municipal centre where they could buy on wholesale terms from the farmers. The Town Clerk confirmed the chair- man's view that they did not have the powers. Mr. W. Owen: What about other authorities? Thev have done it? TOWN CLERK TO INQUIRE. I The Town Clerk: I don't think so, but if you will give me the names I will inquire from them as to what lines they are working on. The Chairman said it would be wise to get the information by the next Council, as a demonstration against the price of milk was expected by any- thing from fifteen to twenty thousand women from the whole of West Wales. The Town Clerk: Are they going to vivt Swansea? The Chairman: Yes, I suppose so, but the Mayor will have to answer them. (Laughter.) He pointed out that it would be just, as well to have an answer for them as to Swansea's attitude. The Town Clerk: There will be some milk wasted for tea that night. (More laughter.) Aftar furtheT discussion, in vh'ch Mr. W Owen '"1;d that most Deonle out- side believed that the Corporation had the necessary powers, the subject dnVptsed on the under^tandiner that the Town Clerk would enquire from some of the other Corporations where it was believed that ;orri,-tbinq like a muni- cipal supply was carried on. l

TRAIN SERVICES. J Swansea's New Arrangements I Not Yet Completed. No trains will be run 6t excursion rates at Christmas, it is officially announced. The Railway Executive is issuing no n- structions to the railway com: jiies regard- ing the provision of social travelling faci- lities. Individual companies will be left to make their own arrangements, duplicating or strengthening trains as necessity arises. In order it is thought to meet the con- gestion on the goods. section, several pas- senger trains on the Great Western Railway in thj South Wales area were discontinued, on Wednesday. They are principally local trains between Cardiff and Fristol, Cardiff and Porthcawl. Cardiff and Newport, and Newport, and Porthcawl. Inquiries at the Swansea- High-street Sta- tion go to show that the train arrangements are not yet completed, but that for the moment the passenger service is not cur- tailed.

The bar-cutters originally handed in a week's unconstitutional notice in con- sequence of the delay-unavoid able, as already fully explained—in dealing wth thair case, but although they de- cided, on due consideration, to with- draw them, the pic-klers, who had their own grievance, were apparently un- willing to wait any longer and struck work in the majority of the tinplate works in the Principality, Some of the men were induced to re- turn by the officials on Monday and Tuesday, but on Wednesday, as. stated, the whole of the works were in opera- tion again. Some twenty thousand workmen were involved altogether.

MARRIED AND RE- MARRIED. Strange Story Unfolded in Divorce Court. I Married in 1893, divorced in 1907, and remarried to his former wife in 1913, William Joshua Osborn, of London-road, Edmonton, petitioned before Mr. Justice Horridge for a dissolution of his second marriage with his wife, Ellen Osborn, on the ground of her alleged misconduct with George Farr. The charges were denied. It was stated that in 1907 the wife obtained a divorce on the ground of her husband's cruelty and misconduct. After the second marriage they lived happily at first, but later, said counsel, the petitioner discovered that his wife was associating with the co-respondent, in whose house she had "eviously occu- pied rooms. Trouble arose, and thare was a separation. The petitioner gave evidence, and both the respondent and the co-respondent in evidence denied misconduct. In the result, his Lordship dismissed the petition, remarking that he could not believe anything that the petitioner had said. t<!
GRATEFUL PARENTS.
GRATEFUL PARENTS. Thank the Swansea Beach Hospital Staff. Swansea Health Committee met on Tuesday, when vir. Dd. Williams (St. Thomas) was re- elected chakman. The Medicai OfficeT of Health said it was usual for the matron of 'the Borough Isoiatioa Hospital to spend a small sumv for toys for the chi.dren over Chrlstmastide.

They asked that their expressions of thanks be conveyed to the Health Committee of the kind treatment meted out at the hospital to the young patients Nothing was too much for the matron and staff in ori-or to better the children, and tmt after time they sat at the bedside of children whose casM seemed hr.peless throughout the night doing their work I cheetful!y.

GAS PRICES.,,
GAS PRICES. No Reduction This Quarter. In the House of 'Commons Sir A. Geddes informed Lieutena nt-Colonel Walter Guinness that' coal merchants would be compensated for loss on the sale of coal in stock and in transit, ac- count being taken of the gain made cy them at the time of the increase of price in .July iast. Replying to another, question Sir Auckland said he bop.d the reduction in the price of domestic coal would re- sult in a reduction of the cost of gas. There were, however, other factors such as labour and material affecting the cost of gas. A number of companies had been contemplating an increase of price in view of these facts, and in some of th-se cases it might not be possible to I reduce the price to a proportion of the reduction in the price of coal. He could not hold out any hope of a general re- duction of price before th0 next quar,er meter reading.

Sir Thomas Mackenzie, High Commis- j sioner of New 2«a!an.d, at Stafford gave eome surprising instances of the low prices which the Dominion accepted for food and raw materials. The fine,st quality beef was exported at from 4jd. to 6d. lb. Glutton ranged from 3fd. to 6d. lb Two pence more per lb. onght to have landed the me?t in this coun- try^ The average price they agreed to a.ccet for woo] wai about Is. 3d. ib., and yet he had heard that 8s. Ib, above pre-war prices was being paid for worsted. New Zealand bad been charging Is. 7id. lb. for butter, and yet the Mother Country bought butter from Denmark at 3s, lb. He had frequently received cables from New Zealand urging that, these articles should be placed within reach of people hero at lower cost. Enormous quantities of derd meat and wool had been sent over, and more was I\vaila,bIe, but the docks were congested here, r,l ship" were not discharged and sent back to bring articles so much required. It is stated dediinitely that the price oi beef is conrng down, and a once. Every restriction will be taicen off, and people will be able to buy all they want at a lower price. The distinction between imported and home-grown meat will, of course, be I maintained.

I I MILK PRICES TO COME DOWN. Investigation Committee's Recommendations. The Food Ministry announce^ that the Milk Prices Inve t'gation Committee has now made its report. The Committee doee not recommend any substantial reduction in the present price of aiilk, but suggest that the average maximum producer's price for the months oi October to April should be 2s..6d per gallon, and that the retail price be adjusted accordingly. The effect of this recommendation would be to reduce the retail pr' ces by slightly less than a penny per quart below the present scale of prices. The Committee also recommtemd tha4 power to 'fix wholesale and retail selling prices should be vested in the Food Contro Committee;* that the price of hay, straw, and rocts should be controlled; and, finally that some further steps should be taken t. provide specialty reduced rates for ehildrev under live years of age and for nursing and expectant mothers, the cost to be covered by a (subsidy provided bv the Treasury, i Mr. F.
