MOTOR NOTES. 1 I BENEVOLENT FUND'S PROS- I PEROUS YEAR. (From Our Motoring Correspondent). I In presenting the annual report of the Cycle and Motor Trades Benevolent Fund at the annual meeting, Mr A. J. Wilson, president, said that "It was but natuTaj that the year of Armistice should witaesB a great increase in the number of support- ers of the fund, from the E100 patrons down to the 5s associates." It was in no I boastful spirit that he told us what great advances had been made, but with a feel- ing of deep gratitude to those by whose work the result had been achieved. Chief among these were the officials of the branch centres who had vied with each, other in the arduous task of bringing the fund to the notice of people wHo had not been irnjwrossed by what little they might have heard concerning it. Especially on the occasion set apart for their annual special effort at proselytising —" Benevolent Day"—was this manifest. The honours of victory had been won by Manchester, where no less than 800 new names had been added to the roil; London had made a gullant fight, but could only get second place with 693 new names; Birmingham was third with 511, Bristol fourth with 182, the Iriah Centre, though fifth on the list, must be especially selected for congratu- lation. Gentros responsible for less than 100 each brought the total number of names added to the roll on June 24th to no fewer than 2002-made up of 288 mem- bers, 1650 assoc iates, and 64 donors. In- cluding these results 3220 names wore added to the roll during the year, as against 1800 in the previous year, bring- ing up the gross total on the books, alter 338 had been struck off for non-renewal of subscription, to 9271 on October 31st-a net gain of 2882 during the year. No fewer than nineteen new names had been added to the list of patrons. The resumption of the annual banquet was signally successful, donations thereat exceeding £ 5000, as against £3800, the highest previous collection, the wealthy men of the trades having "done their bit" by giving the wherewithal to provide ade- quate ro-servcts for the now 2882 people who had betaome eligible for future benefice. Relief had been granted to the amount of B5479, as compared with E2803 in 1918, al- though this was a far less sum than the Fund expected and were ready to defray, the claims from doniobolised soldiers hav- ing been surprisingly few-a. fact to be attributed to the generous provision in the form of gratuities and pensiotiti made by the Government for ex-service mell, as well as to the pluckily self-reliant manner in which the members of our trades have asserted their independence and reinstated themselves in their former commercial positions. The accounts, made up to the 31st October showed a net balance of assets over liabilities of £ 36,388, but as the bulk of the banquet donations were received after that date, there was a not balance of C39,205 16s lOd to the good. '1110 only fly in the ointment beang the fact that, tho funds are invested in securi- ties that afford a fixed return incommen- surate with the increased cost of living and the decreased valuo of the pound ster- ling. Therefore, for the first time, it hap- pened to be impossible to state that the investments sufficed to cover the oost of administration, with the result that it was necessary to draw upon the donations tm a part of the expenses. SERVICE IN NATIONAL EMElt I GEJsfCY. During tho recent national crisis many car and motor cycle owners residing in or near London were desirous of rendering assistance to the authorities, but were Ull- able to get into touch with any organisa- tion able to make use of their services. The foundation of tho Special Constabu- lary Reserve now enables those motorists to join up for emergency work if they aro desirous of doing so. The work of the A.A Section, Headquarters' Central De- tachment, Special Constabulary, during the war recorved special eomrnondaticrn at I tho hands of the Chief Commissioner of Police and aLo th Chief Staff Oihcer (Sir Edward Ward, K.C.B.). A very consider- 1 able number of members of the section who served through the wiir have now joined the newly-formed reserve, but a number of car and motor (jyole owners are still required to make up the fall complo- inent of the section. The duties involve no obligation except in tho case of a na- tional emergency, any ot-hor duties being entirely voluntary and at the discretion of tho members. Uniform is provided and petrol for duty purposes. The value of having a number of motor cars and cycles available for use by the police iu case of emergency can be le-adily appreciated. Applications to join the A.A. Section should be made by letter to ljeuL-Colonel Charles Jarrett 37, Lung Acre, Loir d "r.c., 2Jld if further- particulars are re- quired they will be- forwarded on applica- tion.

LLANFAJRl ECHAN v. HOLYHEAD RES. I (North Wafcn Coast League—Div. il.). This match, rpferocd by Mr II. R. Williams, was played at Bryiivneuadd on Saturday. The heavy rain duriutf- 1..i¡,¡J tit", goinyr very heavy, and the players found con- siderable difficulty in keeping their feet. Holyhead, who are so far undefeated, soon got away, and the home goal underwent soiiio narrow escapes. The homesters appeared to be quite at sea, and failed to make any head- way. Keeping up the pressure the visitors scorod after 15 minutes' play from a scramble in frcnt of goal. This reverse put life into the homesters, and play became more even, and a centre by Hewitt was hot wide by Athcrton. The visiting forwards were play- ing pretty football, but toiitt(I the litiinc backs difficult to pass. May was transferred from cii(i-to end, and both ifoalies were failed upon to handle in turn. The homesters were at this stage pwssinjr, and missed many opportunities of scoring Hewitt, on one occasion, nearly brought the downfall of the Holyhead goal, his shot. _n_- HITTING THE POST I From here onwards the .homesters had a. slight advantago, and when the illterval ar- rived they scarccly deserved to be a goal down. Hair-time: Holyhead 1. Llanfairfechan 0. On resuming play tho locals attacked on the right, but Arthur Jones put the ball over the bar. Holyhead got going on the left, but Dan Joiics relieved with a long punt. Tho homost^ri? strove desperately to secure an equalising goal, and hereabouts pressed hotly, but many opportunities to score went awry. Play was transferred to the home half, and Jack Owen saved at the excuse of a comes, which proved abortive. The heavy going wits telling its talc, but with over two min- utes to go Muir experienced very hard luck with a long drive which hit the bar and glanced behind. Final Holyhead 1, Llanfairfechan 0. Tho Holyhead team were a fast. lot. but were decidedly lucky in carrying away both pointe, especially since the homesters had only nine iiicti on the field when the only goal was scored. Hod the home team a forward who could hoot there may have been a different tale to tell. No fault could be found with the home defence, and R. S. Jones and Muir gave a finished display of haJf-back work. Hewitt and Alherton were the only forward. t who did themselves justice. The star performers for liolyhead were the 'wo backs, centre-half, and wing men.

I SLIPPER PISTONS FOR FORD CAHS. The "Autocar'' records the result of a 5000 milclJtost of Ricardo aluminium sjp- per pistons lilted 011 a Ford car that has, been running for about six months under their close peronal observation. They state that "the Kicardo pistons have en- tirely eliminated all periodic vibration up to well ov6r 35 in. p.h. There is a per- fecbly smooth and vi brat ion leys accelera- tion up to about 36 m. ph., and between tha.t speed and the car' s maximum, which is slightly over 40 m. p.h., tho vibration is very much less than it was at 26 111. p.h. with the original cast iron pistons." As regards lubricating oil consumption the" Autocar" confidently states tht the illileage per gallon has been increased e-Z the very least 100 per cent. since the Hi card o pistons were installed. j

I FRONT VVHEEL BRAKES. Capt. E. de ISoinianviiie, writing to the Daily Express, states if other things were equal it would be more efficient to apply the brakes to the front wheels of a oar. Unfortunately, other things are not equal. For example, the front wheels have to be used for Ertc-cring..rhat is where the difficulties start. The front brakes must not bo allowed to stop tins front wheels revolving, as steering control would disappear. For highest braking efficiency, however, no road wheel should be held against rotation. In practice the addition of front wheel brakes a.dds great- ly to the controllability of a oar. They prevent skidding, and enable one to stop much more quickly. The question of £ a. d. is against them, but no doubt we shall find them again on some of the more expensive British cars in the future."

DBNBIGH TOWN vrBANGOR COMRADES. (Nofth Wales Coast League— Div. I. ) (Nørth Wale.s Coast l-eaguc-Div. 1.). (By "Bex"). Both these teams, yrior to the kick-off, were unbeaten in their league engagements. There was a respectable when the teams took the field at the Graig road enclosure, Denbigh. Denbigh were represented by -Sam Grif- filhs; It Evans and L. Lewis; D. Jones, W. Ifughee,i.id W. Jones; D. LI. Williams," E. E. Davies. Joel Bennett, (1. Thomas, and R. K. Wynne. Bangor: Ted Owen; W. Rees Jones and Richard Williams, George Hill, F. Aspinall, and Hughie Jones; Dick Jones, Albert P. Williams, Ilughie Owen, Ilaghie Davies and A If Pattison. The Bangor captain won the toss, and de- cided to attack the goal at the railway end. Denbigh got away smartly, and early forced a corner, which, however, was safely disposed of by the visitors. But the homesters had other notions in view. Bennett obtained the ball, and without hesitation passed to tho home skipper (E. E. Davies), who in turn transferred it to Gwi!ym Thomas. Before one realised what was really happening the latter player got through, and banged away at, express pace, bcatiug Owen with case. It was an ideal goal. The visitors decided U1at this must no occur again, and they were busy around the home defence testing Griffiths with some dangerous shots. They quickly obtained a corner, which Pattison placed to a nicety. The home backs, however, safely c tea red. Apparently Gwilym Thomas MM out for goals on Saturday. Ile made a praiseworthy attempt to get through bu'. four stalwart opposing players were too much to beat. The Coftiradcs participated in some delightful combination, and on three occasions they ware within an ace of scoring. W. Hughes, the home centre-half, was in tip-top form. By his dogged persistence ho relieved pressure on the home goal time after time, but dame fortune was with Bangor. Hnghio Owen received the ball, ftribbled nicely, shot hard and scored, thus equalising matters. Denbigh forced a couple of corners, but nothing came of them. Bennet was conspic- uous with a lively drive, which might have proved advantageous to Denbigh had they not impeded the Bangor goalie. Both teams played a hard, fast tutrne, and Denbigh were un.1nd.y in front of goal; they simply could not score. Bangor soon registered their sec- ond goal per Dick Jones. Shorily after this the referee was obliged to caution a home sup- porter a.s to his conduct. Denbigh strained every nerve to iel'1 the goals, and their quin- tette put up a heavy barrage around Owen. but reinforcements came Ill,) just in time. and the homesters retreated. Hughie Owen led a brilliant att-ick on Griffiths, and tcored the third goal for Bangor. Denbigh played gamdy, but the interval arrived with the :.eore Bangw 3, Denbigh 1. Resuming Bangor forced a corner straight- way, tH" the Deubiirh citadel was not pene- trated. I'eanett, Thomas, and Davies com- bined nicely, but coihl not make headway. Fouls were pretty frequent now Oil both sides, and coiners galore. Ever on the alert, that consistent lilllc player (E. E. Davies) saw his opportunity, headed straight for Owen, and scored the secon.t goal for Hcubigh. At- tack and counter-attack produced no further score; both teams were unfortunate in front of their respective objectives, and when the final whistle, went Denbigh had to acknow- ledge defeat by 3 goals to 2.

BETHESIM COMRADES v. PI.W.MAKN. I 51 A Wit. This match was .played a! Bethesda on Sat- urday. Mr Williams, Dcganwy, lined up the teams as follows:— tiol,hqit Bob Morris; H. P. Thomas, Bob Morris; W.

Llew Davies, David Thomas, K Lunt, II. Hughes, Jackie Jones. Penmaenmawr won the toss, and defended the tOWII goal. From the kick-off the Com- rades made a dashing move, but sent behind, and from 'he goal-kick the visitors made tracks for the home goal, only to be repulsed by a fine clearance by Bob Morris. E. Lunt had got within shooting range when H.P. put, "paid" to his "account," and sent the ball flying down the field, where tho home for- wards got possession and simply raided tho visiting goal, only to find lloh Lloyd strong and reliable. At last the visitors got away, and scored a somewhat simple goaJ, which should have been cleared by the home defence. From now to the interval end to end play was witnessed. Half-time r Penmaenmawr 1. Bethesda 0.

Tiw, next move camp. from the visitors, who rushed towards the homesters' citadel only to Tom Morris ready for the fray. and clear- ed in a masterly lasbion. Corners were awarded in galore to the visitors, but t.hey came to nothing. The homesters' right wing were now playing a great, game, but the visi- tors soon got away and Llew Davies sent across to the inside left. The homesters should have chared but, misjudged the ball with disastrous results, which was sent flying into the rigging. I trial Penmaenmawr 2, BctheKda 1.

I COXWAY v. BANGOR RAILWAY I INSTITUTE. (Welsh Amateur Cup—2nd Round). J (By "Clwvdian"). I In tfiie eeooad round of the Welsh Ama- teur Cup Conway entertained Bangor Rail- way Institute on the Alorfa, on Saturcbay, wlxtfi Mr Tom Jorus, Llajidudsno Junction, tfre releree, lined up the teams as fol- low,s:- Conway Stailard; Will Evans, Clem Arnold; W. T. Fllis, John NeaJ, W. T. Evans; Torii Craven, Tcd Jones, Joe Hughes, .Lewis Levy Jones and J. Ll. Owen. Jiang or R. I.: Bryn Jonee; J. Withiaras, D. J. Thomas; H. Edwards, Johnson, CauJfiold; Will Attaerton, 11. Brown, D. P, Ilugnes, Victor Williams and D. Row- lands. Mr Chetwvnd Atkin-sotn, president of the Conway a-ub, kicked off, and the visators I immediately got possession and made a da-1 for the home gotal.. Thfey kept up the pressure, aided by the wind, for some lime until Clem Arnold cleared and sent tfic bail wøH on its way to the other end of the field. It ivas not long before the visi- tors were back again and forced two corn- ers in quick succession, both proving abor- tive. Will Evant, playing a good de-fen- sive game, more than onoe saved an awk- ward situation. The visitors continued the prcscure until a free-kick gave Conway an opening, when they de-glied up the hedd, and h^d every appearance of opening the score, but Bryn JoncB cleared in good style. Brytt Jor?-m (. 1 care-LI Ln good A little later the homesters had another opportunity, whe-n Joe Hughes, who looked a certain scorer, had the misfortune to get tripped just as he was about to fihoot for goa1. Albert Victor Williams broke through and scored the first goaJ for Bangor. The visitors still looked danger- oiL,, but shot after sliot went behind, they kept up 1.'1(' attack on the home citadel for some time, but failed to lind the net or give SfcaiWd anything more to do than watch the bu'H go behind. Eventually Conway managed to break <l\uy. when Joo Hughes was given amothor opportu- nity, but massed just in front, of goal. A fine centre by Tom Craven, followed by a nice movement, had every appearance of ittfi equahser, until the visiting backs cleared a.nd made for the home goal, when 1). P. Hughes put in number two for Ban- gor. Some midfie-ld play followed until l/ewis Levy Jones got possession, and after a neat run up dispatched a beauty right into the Bangor custodian's hands. Afteor this Stallard was severely tested, but saved in good style. John Noul was now giving an exhibition of fine football, and Conway, through' his efforts mainly, were afforded a glorioue opportunity in front of I L III fi'ollt of goal, but hesitated, and were lost. Half*time; Bangor 2, Conway 0. Upon resuming the homcst-ers showed fight and determination, encouraged by the wind, now being in their favour. They immediately tested the visiting de- fence, and eventually forced a corner, which proved of no avail. Shortly after- wards Conway were awarded a penalty, which was taken by John Neal, but which Bryn Jones Biavod., The homesters kept up a vigorous attach, but the visiting defence proved too strong for them. After an- oilier corner for Conway the visitors broke away, and Will Atherton, with a lovely ■shot whioh StaJlard had no chance of sav- ing, eoored the third goal for Bangor. After this reverse some of the Conwayites appeared to low heart, and luad the 'visi- tors taken advantage of this temporary sleekness on the part of the homesters they might have increased their score con- siderably. John NeaJ, however, game, to the laei, and was undoubtedly the be-,t player on ite, field. At long range he dispatched a -nagni.cent, ahot right into the Bangor custodian's hands. The visi- tors again tried conclusions with Stallard, who saved shot after shot in a moet credit- able mdnner. Just before the whistle blew for time Conway secured a corner, which they failed to convert. Final; Bajn?«r 3 Oon way Q

I BANGOR COMRADES RES. v. GLASINFRYN. I (North Wales Coast League, Div. 2.) On tho ground of the former on Satur- day, before a small gate, due probably to the weather, which made the ground very greasy. The teams were; — Bangor: G. H. Jones; J, M. Jones and J. Perry; J. 0. Jones, W. J. Davies and J. Price Jones; Eames, E. Williams, Thompson, T. Griffiths and J. T. Evans. Glasinfryn: H. Hughes; W. M. Wil- liams and Hugh Hughes; H. Griffith, D, C. Pierce and Pierce Jones; Boaz Thomas. Frank Pierce, J. Parry Hughes, Allen Roberts and W. Hughes. llefcree: Mr W. J. Jones, Lleehid. I )e f The first attack cajne from the homo lot. Price Jones finishing up with a grand shot. The visitors were the first, scorers, per Boaz Thomas, who, taking advantage of «a miskiek by Perry, tired in a perfect shot, the ball first striking the base of the potffc and glancing into the net, 1—0 The Villagers were doing the bulk of the pressing, but the gallic was quite unevent- ful. Very soon Frank Pierce added No. 2 for the visitors. AL length the Com- rades got going per Eames, but nothing came of the corner which was forced Glasinfryn scored again, the centre-for- ward (J. P. Hughes) nieeting a pass from W. Hughes and sending the bail into the net, but he was ruled offside. At the Glasinfryn end Thompson did some use- ful work and narrowly missed scoring. Erasmus Williams opened the scoring for tho homesters with a clever shot, 2.—1. Directly afterwards Thompson sent the ball against the Glasinfryn goal-bar. The home goalkeeper then made a capital savo from J. P. Hughes, who sent in a swift shot. Some slackness by the Comrades defence again let in J. P. Hughes, who cored with an elevated shot, 3—1. Then Tommy Griffiths scored the second goal for the Comrades after Eames had done the preliminary work, 3--2. Half-time: Glasinfryn 3. Comrades 2. The game had hardly restarted before Evans equalised for Bangor. Play be came very scrambling and uninteresting, and to add to the troubles of the spec- tators the light began to fail- The Com- rades now did a lot of pressing, but thear Una) efforts were none too accurate. Their opponents were by no means asleep, and Boaz Thomas, in partie.ular, worked hard, The goal w Inch decided the match was scored from a penalty by J. Parry Hughes, who clean beat the home custodian. 4—3 | Final: Glasinfryn 4. Bangor Comrades Res. 3.

4 6 BUTTER. I FOOD MINISTRY THREAT TO I PUBLIC. All agricultural products, with the ex- ception of wheat, will be freed from con- trol during the first six months of 1920. This applies to meat, bacon, poultry, eggs, milk, butter, cream, and choose, and a start will be made early in the new year with honie-produoed butter which will Dot once rise ill price to from 4s fad to 6s a pound. For some time farmers have asked for the removal of control, or, as an alterna- tive, the raising of the maximum retail price of butter to 4s 611 per lb. The present price of 2s 6d per lb., they say, is unremunerative. With a free market other farmers who sell niilk and at present prices get 8s lid for the 2i gallons requiied to make lib. of butter, even after deducting the sum they receive for their skim milk, will not be able to sell their butter to advantage at less than 6s per lb. Presumably imported butter will remain controlled. Its price at present is 2s 6d per lb.
