TEAR SHELLS. I There are some tear shells on land in the Walthamstow district, and the medi- cal officer reports that the escape of gas from the shells is affecting the health of residents in the neighbourhood. The Ministry of Munitions is being asked to remove the shells. Labour recently moved the Edmonton Council to ask the Home Office and Ministry of Munitions to investigate charges of detonators being buried at a local munitions factory, and complaining that a lorry of incendiary bombs which caught fire was driven through a publio street. A report has now been presented to the Council showing that the bombs were dummies and that the detonators which were exploded had been buried under Government supervision for the purpose of preparing the ground on which oats are now growing. The fine crop is said to be the result.

PEARL INSURANCE CO. I In view of the response received to its instalment purchase schemes for the o per cent. War Loan and the National War Bonds, the Pearl Insurance Com- pany have decided, with a view to offer- ing siniiiai- facilities to the public, to present a scheme under which the ft- tractive privilege of participating in the Bond Drawings is secured m full for the purchaser even though one premium only may have been paid. A great advantage of these schemes is that they enable the possessor of a small amount of capital to acquire a much more substantial amount of the Stock or Bonds than he could tnko up by direct subscription. The scheme is that in return for periodical payments the company will grant a policy which secures to the holder at death or at the maturity of the policy the transfer of a £ 100 Victory Bond..

This was the one ellwh;ch bad not given any sat'sfactory indication of the likelihood of oil be;ng found, and the borers were contemplating abandoning further operations. The well is in a direct geological line with the wells at Brim ing ton and Hardstoft, where oil is 1 still steadily flowing at the rate of some I 400 ga.L'cns a day. The Ironville well :s not fa.r from Riding's Pit, wheTS an oil spring was dis- covered in 1840 at a depth of a;bout 1,400 feet.

Indica- tions, both at Brimington and lieniehaw, ;ti e very favourable, and oil may be I reached agp moment. -o.

As the supply of oiffcers should exceed 10 oiffcer cadres of the different unite, freat care will be taken to ensure the best Selection. War service will be the chief Qualification for commanding and senior officers, and the commanding officers will (elect the i unicr officers. As with the officers so with the nOn- fommisaioned ranks, the mi embers avail- Able should greatly exceed the vacancies, fcnd all enlistments will be as privates. Promotion may, however, be n-Lide on the day of enlistment. Enrolment will com- mnce as soon as C.O. 's and provisional staffs are appointed, bnt attestations will only take effect from next XovembeT. In the ease of discharged and demobbed idlers, they will be regarded as njjBin- foin'ng continuity of service. Tt w felt that many men on their re- in rn to civil life will miss the camura- 4rne and open-air life of the soldiers, and Mil gladly rejoin, and come to regard tfheir annual training as a re-union rather Shan a burden. IN SWANSEA. I In Swansea, before the war, were de- tachments of the fith Welsh. Regiment, 4he 3rd Welsh Field Ambulance, the 50uth Wales Mounted Brigada (A.S.C. 4nd Yeomanry), 1st Welsh Howitzer Bri- gade, and the 7th (Cyclist) Battalion, Regiment. Under this decision of the Army Coun- oil these will probably be reconstructed, but we are informed upon inquiry that the C.O. and Provisional Staffs have not yet 1w>E'D appointed, so that nothing definite c,n be stated.

RENT QUERIES. F Two rent queries which reached the Lea-tler Offiöe since the going to Press of cur Friday's isgus are dealt with below:— Tellus" gives no eddreee or rateable assessment, so that we cannot give the exact figure fcr an increase. He aehe: "It the new rate applicaible fcr a houee for which a weekly rent of 10s. is paid ?" It is, certainly, and the landlord is aekmc probably the increase he is entitled to in this oaee. Cookeit" tells how his pre-war rent warn 905, A shilling was added in May, 1915, a.nd a further sisj^enoe in December, 1917. Kow the landlord has demanded a further i1!- crease of 6d.

The landlord even now is 6My entitled to demand an amount to meet t.he increase in rates, added to the pre-wer rent, so that Cockett" should he paying 6d. per week as from May 5th, 1919.
