COMMISSIONER HICCINS' VISIT. I On Sunday next Commissioner I Higgins, who is the leader of the Salva- tion Army forces in Great Britain, will conduct special meetings in the Grand Theatre at three in the afternoon and 6.45 at night. The Commissioner is a very popular officer in the Salvation Army. He is, a racv and eloquent speaker, and as a preacher has been most successful. He II has been in command of the Salvation Army work in America, and as a trav- elling commissioner has visited India, Australia, Japan, Korea, and all Con- tinental countries. The Commissioner will be accom- panied by Brigadier Maxwell, who has earned renown in Army circles as a soloist and musican.

The worst part of an old maid's life is the begin- ning of it, and the worst part of a bachelor's the end. Old men usually wand er about alone, and spin- ¡ sters go in pairs." Housing and the State. Unionists, who introduce a Hous- ing Bill, are faced with a dilemma, the painful nature of^which Mr. Walter Long recognised yesterday (says the "Daily News and Leader. ) Once admit that there is need for such a measure, that millions of the poor in town and country are miserably reduced to shelter in cions unfit for human beings, and you are formulating an in- d:ctment against the landlord claii, which owns and controls the land of England. Justice for the Middle-aged. Many of the middle-aged authors (,<;<I,Y5 Sir William Robertson NicolL, are doing work not inferior to their very best, and it is for the critics to see that the I see that they get justice. Let the young be encouraged, but let not the elder men be elbowed out. Life is long, and they say it is getting longer.

But if he goes on doing his best, let him be cheered on. The King and Will Crooks. Rumour has it that the King de- clared himself annoyed at the absence of Mr. Will Crooks, M.P., from the official ceremonies during the Royal Visit to Woolwich last week. Mr. Crooks was not to blame, for those re- sponsible forgot to invite him to meet his Majesty, and the member for the borough contented himself with stand- ing in the street with the ordinary citi- zens. King George recognised him in the crowd, and as soon as he returned to Buckingham Palace he caused Lord Stamfordham to write a letter of re- gret to Mr. Crooks. Family Funerals Limited. Owing to the frequency of weak excuses for leave of absence from work, many employers have framed a special code of rules to govern days off. The following are the regulations of one London firm:- 1.—One day off for funeral of any relative where death certificate is pro- duced 2.—All marriages and honeymoons to be arranged during annual holidays or not at all. 3.-The burying of more than three uncles or aunts a year not accepted as an excuse for 'Jj-cnoe. 4.—For sickness where it is proved days off allowed. How to Maks an Effective Speech." To the first volume of "The Book of Public Speaking," Dr. T. J. Macnamara Parliamentary Secretary to the Ad- miralty, supplies some hints on how to make an effective speech. He is no be- liever in the "born orator," and con- siders that the first essential is hard work "The inin w h o i,- "The man who is going to make a good speech must tin;t of all immerse himself in his subject. He must read all there is to be read about it; he must think about it hc4 must talk about it. And particularly must he master completely the view of the other side." This, of course, applies to the set speech only. One Result of the Primrose Cult. Primrose Day, which occurs to-day, will recall the curious connection • of "Dizzy" with the fiower to which he compared fried eggs One larnentaJble result of this ludi- crous association of a politician with the modest wilding which Buskin con- sidered a type of "flowers of gracious breeding" is that primroses arc rapidly disappearing from the public woodlands and commons near London. The plant has Leen practically extir- pated from Epping Forest, except in the outlying fragment that lies between Epping Town and Harlow, where this spring a keeper is guarding the blos- soms against th3 professional flower- raiders who pick for the market. Future of the Weish Bill. Owing to the time that has been occupied, and will/yet be occupied, by the Temporary Collection of Taxes Bill and the Suffragist Prisoners Release Bill, the Government have abandoned the intention of bringing forward be- fore Whitsuntide the resolutions allo- cating the time for the reconsideration of the Home Rule and Welsh Disestab- lishment Bills. There will be a separate resolution for each Bill. As the Homk: of Lords have refused in the case of both the Irish and Welsh Bills to consider even the principle of either measure, the Government do not propose to deal with the question of amendments in the present Session. This means (says "H. J." of the "Daily Chronicle") that the Committee and report stages will become super- fluous. The number of days to be al- lotted to the Irish Bill will not exceed ten; it may not be more than eight; half that number is mentioned as the outside figure for the Welsh Bill.

MORRISTON COOD TEMPLARS. At the Good 'iempiars Lodge held at Horeb, Morriston, on Thursday last, a very stirring speech was delivered by "Plenydd," the great Temperance advocate. He urged all the Churches to be more enthusiastic and the every section of the Church of Christ should examine the past history of the liquor traffic, and study its present effocts, and in face of the knowledge it will thus acquire, let it unflinchingly set about the performance of its duty. It mutt, without fear of consequences, or thought of possible difficulties, or dread of unpleasantness, proceed upon its course of practical reform for the pro- tection and the benefit of those for whole welfare and well-being it exists. Solos were rendered by Miss Gwennie Jones and Mr. Edward West. Rev. D. E. Thomas and Mr. John Meredith also spoke. The Rev. W. Salmon, Chi-sf Templar, presided.

""" - FACTS. < -s>
FACTS. < -s>- iREE IMPORTS THE SALVATION OF WtLiH TOlATi TRADi. USELESS COMPARISONS. (By Councillor I. II. GWYNNE.) Your local contemporary, in com- menting upon my notes of last week in reference to the tinplate trade and its present depression, winds up with the following:—"The folly of the free import system will be fully realised, but too late to have any practical effect. There will then be no scope for word spanning: and figure manipulation by Labour leaders, for the workmen left will be in no mood to listen to ex- planations as to why industries had de- cayed, because left naked to the at- tacks of trade ene-mie" IJ Fast ex-j periencQ has taught us, and the pro- j sent condition emphasises, the same j fact, that our own salvation as a trade is in retaining our present free im- j port system. Wre shall at all times be subject to spasmodic periods of Qb- pression, whicn naturaiiy arises in the ordinary course of events. The tr;!d? a?s suffered ?n the past from period3 of depression, and the trade still sur- vives, and we are also accustomed to hear the voice of the prophet proclaim-' ing that the day of our glory has passed away, yet we experienced j periods of exceptional prosperity up to1 some six or nine months ago. j A "Dying" Trade. I Did not Mr. Joseph Chamberlain de-1 clare some years ago that our trade! was a dying one, that we would soon, crumple to the ground, and that in a very few years the manufacture of thiplates in South Wales would becomei extinct r But what are the facts" We j have been producing at least 50 per cent. more tinplates in South Wales alter that period than we ever did previously, and I have no reason for believing that we shall not do so again in the future, provided we retain our present system of froe imports. This has been and will be the kernel of our success. I am reminded that 1 pointed out the seriousness of the American competition, in my comparison of the exports of tinplates from America in the year 1910 as compared with that of 1912, and the loss this menat to our trade, which was equally to the output of 8.5 mills. I have always been accustomed to look at facts in their true cakedness, but I also gave a reason for this competition, and no Tariff Reformer has yet been able to produce any agreement to prove that by adopting Tariff Reform this com- petition could be prevented. It is use- lesf- comparing our meth<xh of trading with that of the Cnited States. They are primarily a producing and consum- ing country; they have the profits made upon the production consumed in their own country to assist them to dump or sell their overplus to foreign markets. We on the other hand ex- port parctically what we produce. In fact, as has aiready been stated, we are the greatest dumj)ers n the world so that we cannot be placed upon an equal basis with America in this re- spect. No method of Tariff Reform can ever be brought about that will not have the effect of increasing the cost of the finished article, a.nd if we fir¡-(¡ is difficult at present to compete with other countries, it stands to reason that if our price goes up it will have a I tondeClcy to make our diiEciutiM. ?'oater rather than relieve our posi- tion. I America and Canada. I I then we are again reminded of what might have happened among the four- teeu million farmers in America if the British Government had threatened to impose a wheat duty. I am not so much concerned as to what would have happened amongst tho American farmers, but I am very much concerned as to what would have happened amongst the forty million bread eaters in the country, if the British Govern- ment dared to impose a duty upon wheat coming into this country. We do know who ?ouid have to pay the j duty, and we also know who h?s got to pay the duty in other pot-bound tariff I countries. The position in Canada is ) easily explained. The Americans by some means have been able to introduce I tinplates undfT- a certain schedule that was never intended, and have thus given them an advantage over the Welsh producers, but this is now being dealt- with, and there is every reason ior believing that we shall again 'TI this trade. At present it may no? be wise to deal with this point any further. I am supposed to have taken the coal strike of last year as a perfect sheet anchor. I did nothing but take the figures from the returns of the Ameri- can Government, and they prove con- clusiveiy, that what I had previously stated was correct. Can any persoù] explain away my figures. In Januarv, 1912, American exports amounted to 1,1,906 tons; in February, 4,757 tons; in March the strike had commenced and the American exports amounts to 6.390 tons in April and May ,11,000 tons and 10.218 tons respectively. This is dur- ing the period of the str:ke. Then take. I the last two months of the year, Novem- ber and December, and their exports j only amount to 4,054 tons and 4,521 tons respectively I The Effect of the Strike. Will any one for a moment contend that the exports of America would have gone up from 4,000 tons to 11,000 in two months if no strike had taken place, And is not the fact that their exports dwindled to 4,000 tons by the end of the year further proof that the. ¡I strike was responsible for their increased i exports during these months and does it not undermine the assertion that tho Coal Strike only meant the deferment until tho end of the year of a con- gestion, which in its absence would have happened months earlier." We should not lose sight (.f the fact that once you have lost a customer he is not easily regained. I should like to make it distinctly clear that I do not con- template a reduction in the labour cost of tinplates, and I do not want an in- creased cost in the production by any artificai means suggested by Tariff Reform speculators. I merely pointed out a fact which cannot be contra- dicted: that, once the price of tin plates go beyond a certain figure, there is a class of consumers that resorts to glass, earthenware, and cardboard, in prefer- ence to tinplates, inasmuch as they are cheaper, and we cannot hope to regain I this trade until it is possible to reduce the price of the box of tinplates. The effect of restricting the output would bring into the markets the speci- fications for orders already booked by the firms in South Wales, and this would be of vital importance at this present moment. The trade is suffer- ing for the want of specifications for I orders already upon the books. The 1 fact that an order has been secured from the Standard Oil Company is proof that the Americans are relaxing their l grip upon the WeL-h trade.

SANGER'S -CIRCUS. I
SANGER'S CIRCUS. I GIGANTIC SHOW'S BRIEF VISIT TO II SWANSEA. SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT. I "Sanger" is a magic word. It draws. Draws even in the rain. The big green tent in Victoria Park seats 6,000. In spite of the dowupour, it was hllod on Friday afternoon. The Show in Victoria Park does not belie its reputation. To begin with r o begin 11 1 "Punpo" runs a glaring red, right through the whole pattern. You can- not get rid of "Pimpo." Fortunately no one wants to. lis fight with the eiephant, and incidentally, the ele- phant's fight with him is one of the most glaring bits of elephantine humour Swansea has struck. The Sisters Della Casa, three ladies, three elephants, and three horses, give an astounding performance. Then the pony "Snow DTOp" is one of the prettiest bits of horse flesh ever seen. His turn, ending up with a troupe of daring dogs running in and out be- tween the horse's legs and between the spokes of the carriage which, while the latter is in full motion, is great. But, on the point of equine beauty there's littie to pick between the brother and sis-ter Snow Flake, and Snow Drop, both of which were bred by Lord John Sanger at his Stud Farm, Horley, Surrey. Sanger's famous sea lions are extra- ordinary too. Other items include the York Troupe of horizontal performers, the Pony of Beauty, The Sidneys, Australia's premier versatile per- formers, Miss Victoria George's trained horse, "Emperor," The Jacksons, "equestrians urt-to-datel" The Fishers, aerial gymnasts, and the Sanazzaro Troupe of eight, who get through equestrian feats that are both smart, beautiful and startling, and the Band, which drowns all in music. Attached to the circus is a b g menagerie, which unfortunately was not on show on Friday afternoon, owing to the weather, but which will (W.P.) be exhibited after each performance.

REV. R. ROWLAND ROBERTS. Since his acceptance of the Chested pastorate, the Rev. R. Rowland Roberts has not preached at Swansea, and we therefore anticipate that, at to-morrow's anniversary of Alexandra- road Chapel, he will be listened to, at the three services, by large congrega- tions. Mr. Roberts is to preach also on the Monday evening. The Rev.
