The Cambria Daily Leader

The Day's Gossip. Leader Office, Friday. I know my readers like a little mathe- matical problem, and perhaps this one will interest them. It comes out of the sarcastic letter of a correspondent who I has been to our bays for picnics, and has been charged for hot water at three- pence per person." He asks me what is the rate of profit taken by the caterer who gets the water at about is. per 1,000 gal- lons, and sells it at the rate of about 9d. per pint. This, he declares, is yhat he paid for his little lot at Mumbles. Well, I leave it to the gentle reader, but he will have to allow for the fact that the caterer ,has to find fuel to boil the water, and generally lends crockery as well. But in any case the profit must be quite a re- spectable one. Incidentally, I feel a good deal of sympathy for those who object to declaring the number of their party to establish a basis for the caterer's charge. Why cannot they charge so I much a pint or quart for the water, and I let it go at that? I Good for the Garden. I Lime is good, but not the panacea for I all land ills it sometimes gets the credit of being. Lime is not manure, but I what it does in certain soils is to trans- form otherwise intractable fibre into very ] serviceable manure. Nitrate of soda will II often do this just ae well. Lime is often put on land when what it really wants I 1. dissolved bones, nitrate, phosphate, or 1 good farm yard manupe. Another tiling. I 1 There me big differences in the relative j values of farm-yard manure. All de- pends on how the drainage is done. If the moisture is allowed to run away, the residue has little value. The same thing applies to street sweepings, the virtue of which has usually evaporated before collection. IAn- Interesting Cargo. I The other afternoon wo published the news of the arrival in Swansea of the line Ellerman liner e.s. City of Poona, with a cargo that has excited a good deal of interest. I have been favoured by Messrs. Letricheux and David, Ltd. (associated with Messrs. Tarr, Wynne, and Co., Ltd.), the local agents, with a revised list of the Poona's heterogeneous and valuable cargo, which will be inter- esting to those who would learn some- thing of the remarkable shipments that now and ligain are dealt with at the Swansea Docks. The corrected figures are as follows40,291 ba 's wheat, 10,582 bales wool, 1,392 bales skins, 4,330 cases jam, 335 cases honey, 1,200 cases raisins, J,600 cases currants, 665 wises sultanas, 2'50 cases peaches, 150 cases pears, 698 bags barley, COO cases preserved fruit, 200 cases canned fruit, 1,315 cases pre- served meat, 250 bales hemp, 89 cases medicine, 4,005 bags ootton seed, 88 cases leather and hides, 83 cases garden seed, 4' cases palm seed, 64 tailors' cuttings, M- casks citric acid, 1 case gloves, 1 case oil paintings, 253 bales furs and skins, 6 bales horse skins, 3.492 nickel ingots, and (j bales and one. case comfor; Hcuses v. Schools. I It is a matter for satisfaction that, sub- ject to the approval of the Board of Edu- cation, a way has been found by which the De-la-Beche-street hotises, the site of which the Council is pledged to use al- most at once for school extensions may be utilised for tne accommodation of a few of the hundreds of families who wijiit such houses. It is too early to assume that the Board s consent to the delay in- volved will be forthcoming, for the need for more school accommodation is also clamant. But it scorns clear that the course now to be adopted, is the only one that could be followed except the rejec- tion of the Housing Committee's plea, which would be a further cautte of angei among the house-hungry. For, apart from losing grants, the bducation Committee has not a free hand, the Board of Edu- cation being a joint purchaser. In all the, Lousing debates 1 have noticed, 1 do not remember one in which the alternative claims to a sinall site were so, pressing as m this cvase. To house a few properly •>r to give secondary education to a large numberi' was the immediate issue, and U1, view of the magnitude of Swansea's problems in both theso directions at the present moment, and for some. time ahead, the choice is not particularly easy The Board of Education's answer will be awaited with great interest, and will re- lieve councillors of having to make the unenviable decision. Waiting for Health Ministry. I The Jack of a reply from the Welsh Housing Commissioner in response tc pressing requests for permission to pro- ceed with the Town Hill houses left the position disclosed at Wednesday's meeting just as it was explained in the news columns of the Leader a day or two since. Because Cardiff's little scheme has been referred back for alterations to (,wJ,uoe costs, it does not, of course, follow that Swansea's will be, but it is safest not to be too sanguine, even though annoyed that the summer slips on with nothing done to meet the clanant need. There is however, the satisfaction that apparently nothing more can be done locally at pre- sent to hasten the desired bricks and mortar stage. The meeting, at which most aspects of the dire want were once more* alluded to revealed the fact that little is to be expected from the use of Army Huts, the economic rents of which will be surprisingly high. "Mox Nix." I have cribbed this very interesting little paragraph from the London" Daily -News When you hear a man say mox nix to imply that, after all, it doesn't matter, you can be certain he ha,§ experienced a forced sojourn with the enemy. The ex- pression was as popular in the prison camps, a returned prisoner tells me, as Napoo" was in France. The average Englishman's incorrigible 1 habit of maltreating any foreign language he happens to run up against is too deep rooted for correction. "Mox nix" for es macht nichts "15 an excellent example. Evidently, it is. up to the other beggar" to understand us. and if he doesn't-well. he ought to., )

I CYCLING & MOTORS. I- CYCLING. I THE OHEAPEST HOLIDAY. ) aile everyone is couiptaining of the charges which are being made at holiday resorts how many keep in mind that the cheapest of all forms of holiday is close at hand to most of us? A holiday awheel is of comparatively trivial cost. To be gin'with there are no railway fares, with 50 per cent. increase. There is, prac- tically speaking, no expense for trans- port. If you are content to put up at country cottages-and I have had some of my most comfortable accomodation atth-ese-you will easily get through on 10s. a day. Allow another 5s. a day for extras, and you get an outside limit cf .15s. a day. For fourteen days that 's just £ 10 10s. and for, that you have a real good time. If a coiiple go the ex- pense will be a little more. A man and his wife, content with the simple but plentiful things of life, could quite easily get through a fortnight's cycling holiday for £ 15. AND ITS GREATER VALUE. I Not only is a cycl e tour by far the c heapest form of holiday to-day but it I is alsOi by far the healthiest. The physi- cal benefit of fourteen days gentle i ycling (and you need not travel big distances to enjoy a tour) is generally admitted but the mentai value is not always so :weU understood. The con- stant-changing scenes and interests give si, complete holiday to the mental facul- ties. The brain, fagged with office or. shop is refreshed by the new scenes; the country lanes give rest to the eyes wearied with the typewriter, the ledger or the counter: the recuperative value of such an holiday is great in every direction. And I repeat that it will be a real pleasure to me to place my know- | ledge of the country at the command of any reader who is wondering whe^e he or she may go and who will send mo an en- j quiry and a stamped addressed envelope for reply i MOTORING. I THE PRICE OF SELF-STARTERS, I For anyone who is buying a £ 1,000 car it is a small matter t, be asked £ 30 or thereabouts for a self-starter, <but it :'3 a big thing for the small niaij who Is only investing in a small car priced at £200 or a little more. For every owner of a luxurious highrpriced car taerc arc a hundred for cheaper models and, therefore, the demaud for a self-starter at a reasonable sum is enortllou31 under- stand that one Mid'and firm has gone very carefully into the question, and they confidently expect to bo able to manufacture a reliable article to f:,all ;it something under £ 12* To meotthc de- mand they will have to produce thou- sands. LOOK TO THE PUMP. I have often wondered how many motorists possess pumps which are faulty but I am certain that the unmber is a, very large one. The work of inflating a tyre; is not a job anyone likas.but with a faulty pump a more or less light job's transformed into a fagging operation The fault usually lies in the washer, since if this' has b-er. allowed to dry a great proportion of the air escapes past the plunger. The maker treats The pu?p washer with vaseline, but his doss not last indefinitely. It is only the work of a few minutos to take the pump to pieces and give the wacher a thorough dressing in gear oil. TllÍs will make the pump equal to new and a his difference will be found in its efficient y. Spokes. ANOTHER GERMAN HOME GONE. Another one-tirap home of Germans in London has passed definitely British hands. Before the war the [ Bosch Magneto Co. occupied extensive premises in Tottenham Court-road, Lon- don for some time they have been in the honds of a British ignition firm, but they have now been tnken over by the North British Rubber Compaq as the London headquarters of the Clincher tyres. The existing building has a fron- tage of 100 ft. and a floor area of 27.000 sq. ft., but it is to be extended to nearly double that size. Careful attention was paid by the original occupiers to heating and ventilation so that the building is one of the most up-to-date warehouses in the metropolis and all the depart- ments of the "Clincher" industry will eventually be housed under its roof, so r far as London is oonccrnefl. So passes one more German landmark and in the occupation of such a firm as the. North British Rubber Company it will stand firm as representative of one of our cit trade branches and of a firm whose mime stands in high honour amongst all the habitues of the road. ■ ■ Printed a I I (J I) II h I ined b.v tnc Svv«mce» pr-¡, Lnt., at Leader Buildlnsw. fiv,aaoe&,
