WELSH UNIVERSITY GUILD OF I GRADUATES.- ANNUAL MEETING AT BANGOR. I The annual meeting of the Guild of Graduates the Welsh University was held on Wednesday at Bangor, Professor A. H. Trow, D.Se., presid- ing. Refereno-j was made to the death of the late treasurer, Mr J. G. Davies, who also, for five years, aoted as clerk. The statement of accounts showed a. credit balance of JE513, compared with £ 265 last year. Professor Trow presented a statement on the svideriee submitted on behalf of the Guild be- fore the Royal Commission on University Edu- cation in Wales. The Commission seemed to be •atonished, said Professor Trow, that the Guild as such had no political aims at all before it, and it took him some time to convince them that it was a difficult matter for the Guild to organise itself for such a purpose. They thought the Guild might have attained more efficiency by paying more attention to its representation on the University Court. At the end of the exami- nation, lie had a long conversation about the prospects of the future, as to making the influence of the Guild stronger, and he thought something might be done by holding the Guild meetings at the same time and in the same town as the .meetings of the Court were held There we-re many problems to be faced by the Guild, and changes might be expected in the future in the arrangement of courseo at the colleges, whereby more composite courses might be set. Professor J. Morris Joitee, University College of North Wales, was elected warden; Dr. Paiiin- gor, Aberystwyth, treasurer; and Mr Jenkyn Jones, clerk to the Guild. A vote of condolence was passed on the motion of Dr. Witton Davies with the family of the late Rev. J. H. Moulton, D.D., of Manchester. A theological section of the Guild was formed .witli the object of promoting study and research in the subjects of theology and religion. On the question of th Parliamentary repre- sentation of universities, with special rafe,rence to the University of Wales, the Guild recorded its opinion that the privileges of women graduates in this respect should be the same aa those of the men. Principal Harris, Normal College, Bangor, who at Cardiff had expressed himself opposed to the idea of university Parliamentary repre- sentation, announced his conversion, and moved that "this Guild is of opinion that the Univer- sity of Wales should have political representa- tion either separately or jointly." He accepted the addition, suggested by Professor Phillips, of the words" in the event of universities being ParLiamertfcarily represented." Professor Morris Jones seconded. Dr. Arnold, Professor Gibson, Dr. Bryan, and others took part in the discussion, and ultimately the resolution was adopted in the fol- lowing modified form: That was as a Guild approve of the Speaker's Con- ference recommendations in so far as they concern university representation, and are of opinion that the University of Wales should have Parliamentary representation either separately or jointly if dual voting is retained."

It is hoped Chat eometlring liko 100,000 men wiil be procured by means oi tho Review of Ex- ceptions Act, but during the progress oi that measuire through the House of Loixis raio Eari of Derby rliable it. perfectly clear "t Larger and more drastic action would be restarted to for raising the remaining 400,000 men. It is quite urul^ratood that the older sokiiors !{ms obtained will not go to the front, but will be used at home to enable youngor men to be sent to the firing line. With regard to National Service, thene is no knxnodaate intention to apply compulsion. Nor will the age limit of 60 be interfered with. HANDICAP OF THE AGE OF 45. t The Times Medical Correspondent, writing to day on the question of raising the age to 45, says:- nw fitness of the man of 45 is, indeed, largely the povveir to perform the task he is accustomed to without undine tatigu'c. It is not oiiaraeleiised by a euperaoundantoe, but by a suiiicioney of eiieigy (just as tiie tituc>i» of tiie man oi 60 may uepend on a measuie ot economy of energy). it is uie kind of fiti^sss which carries a man through lus daily work—the work to which he has de- voted himself and in which he has become pro- ficient; it is not the kind of fitness which tak.s trenches, or accepts easily new responsibilities in Spheres of life tnat are unknown. Tho amount of effort expeiwi e d in a new and hazardous occupation by a man of 45 is immensely greater than that expended by a boy of 22. The strain on the individual i* also much greater at the higher age. and x> that chanoes of breakdown and disaster are much greater. That these elementary considerations are more reliable as guides than any medical certificates of fitness are likely to be required to be insisted 0Jl both for the soke of the men and for the sake of the doctors who may have to examine thorn. It is inconceivable tha.t any commandClr should pre- fer the man of 45 to the man of from 18 to 35. If therefore we desire to avoid hampering our armies, fretting our commanders and ovor- burdening our hospitals, we should see to it that every fit youmg man is enlisted before we paaa to the very drastic measure of oonsoripting our fit middle-aged men whoso fitness largely depends on their established manner of living against a change in which it cannot be guaranteed.

A BETHESDA MAN'S I INVENTIONS. UNPROFITABLE PROJECTS. I At Bangor Bankruptcy Court, yesterday, be- fore the Registrar, Mr Giynne Jonea^ the public ex- amination took place of Morris Henry Parry, now working as a fitter in a Merthyr Tydfil colliery and formerly grocer and oinema show proprietor at Bethesda. The gross Liabilities were returned at C404, the deficiency being J6183. He attributed his failure to falling off of trade sincp- the outbreak of the war, losses in connection with the Picture Room at Bethesda, and money spent on inventions which he failed to sell or put on the market. The Official Receiver (Mr LI. Hugh Jones) re- ported that the debtor in 1903 took over a small provision business carried on by his late mother-in-law in High-street, Betheoda, the value of the stock being about £ 10. He had no capital of his own. About 18 months prior to May, 1915 he was engaged as a cinematograph operator at Bethesda. His employers gave up their hall and left a cinema, machine and other effects as security for$12 10s dine to the debtor for wages. The debtor carried on the picture show for one year at a. loas. He also carried on a yeast business, on which he lost- at least £50. In 1907 he patented an invention for Looking railway carriage doors, which had now lapsed, and paid charges of B10 9s and five guineas, but failed to dispose of his patent. He also paid £10 for preparing a model. He also engaged in other inventions, which cost him money, but brought him no reward. He joined the Army in March, 1915, but was discharged on account of ill-hoaith in April, 1916. All the fua-niture at the debtor's residence was olaimed by his wife on the ground that site succeeded to it under her iate mother's will. Questioned by Mr Tobias, the Assistant Official Recei ver, the Debtor said he agreed that some of the aseste he had scheduled were problematical. He had invented a patent for locking railway carriage doors, and offered it to several railway companies without success. He aleo invented an improved machine gun, and ooresulted the Minister of Munitions with regard to it, but La did not tike it up. He did not try to sell it to anyone else. He also invented a patent chair key, and water guage glasses for boilers. The Assistant Official Receiver Have you made anything out of your inventions?—Nothing at ail. And you spent a lot of money on tl!m, and also wasted your time?—Yee, I spent from B80 to £100 on them in addition to my time. As things turned out you would have been better employed in Eticking to your own work? -Yes. The Registrar: Have you any hope that your inventions will turn out successful?—Not at pre- sent. The Assistant Official Receiver: The money you apent on your inventions might I nave been given in payment of your creditors?—■Yes Tho examination waa closed. The debtor was represented by Mr Pentir Williams.

BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS GUARDIANS. PROFITABLE PIG KEEPING. I The monthly meeting of the Board was held this (Friday) morning at Bangor. The Chairman (Rev. W. Morgan, St. Ann's) moved a vote of condolence with the family of the late Canon R. T. Jonics, Glanogwen, a mem- ber of the Board. He felt that by the death of Oanon Jones they had lost a.n exceedingly efficient member, and the whole neighbourhood & good man. There was added pathos to this bereave- ment by the death on the fieki of battle of Canon Jones' only son. The vote was carried in silence, and a similar message was conveyed to Mr Joseph Davies, Bangor, a member of the Board, on tlie death of his son. It was stated that Mrs R. B. Evans, Bethesdia, widow of the late CLerk, had presented to the Board a pliotograph of her husband, who, said the Chairman, did his beat in the interests of the Guardians. Replyin.g to a resolution from the Guard-jans expressing the opinion that slate quarrying should be included in the eesential industries, Mr Caradoc Rees, M.P., wrote suggesting that a deputation should be sent to Mr Neville Chamber- lain on the subject. Rev. R. E Davies, IA-anlleobid, said that Mr Chamberlain had decided that a certain number of men must be released from each quarry in North Wales or else the quarries will be closed entirely. It was decided not to send a deputation, it I being stated that other bodies were taking the question up. It was reported that a profit of B87 had been made on 28 pigs kept in the workhouse grounds during the last six months.

AN ANGLESEY WILL CASE. I In our report lu.it week of a case under tho above heading it should have been stated that tike decision of the Court was that the will alone of the deceased (William Thomas, retired iron- founder) should be established, there being no evidence of the codicil being in existence at the time of the deceased's death.

The death haa occurred at Weet Kirby, at the ago of 15 years, of Mr Thomas Henry Barker, who was for many years secretary of the Liver- pool Chamber of Coromerca.

Stern economy is required to make our supplies of bread and wheat flour last till next harvest. Every person must eat at least one pound of BREAD less per week than hitherto, and set his or her face relentlessly against wasting a single crust. This is a simple form of National Service in which every- body in the land, rich and poor, young and old, can play their part. I If every man and woman will eat i-lb. less bread per week than he or she normally consumed we shall frustrate Germany's attempt to starve us out, and can laugh at their submarines.

Mr Horatio Jonos. for the deferace, hold that sirtoe the death of the owner there was no owner in a position to sue, and as to the claim of the Guardians, he stated that they had not made the statutory claim within the prescribed period or before the goods of the deceased woman had been taken away, and, therefore, the Guardians had no locus standi in the matter. Mr Hughes (aoting clerk) advised the Bench that Mr Horatio Jones' contention was sound. The Bench, however, after a somewhat pro- longed retirement, decided to adjourn the case for a n-borith, in order to obtain a legal opinion on the point raised by Mr Horatio Jones.
