CELEBRATIONS I In West Wales. I How We Greeted the Peace.

Can you guess what the feeling ot very many mothers, wives and sweethearts- in Swan- ea would be to-onight if the Germans re- fused to sign and our men were now mov- ing into the interior of the coontry? STREET CROWDS. I Quite early in the evening street, crowds were larger than usual, and it was mainly boys who constituted the queues at the ¡ tire works simps, and were so prodigal in their expenditure on squibs that people were for ever hopping out of the way of their fiery, jumpy explosions, while the wtreots were littered with the Tcmains of them. Balloons d-rifted over the town from the west; red white and blue ros- ettes were in demand, and some yourigsters had weird decorations. The Salvation Army's was the only band out, end seemed at one period to be receiving unusually (,. i t uniisut' ] IY Itrgc shower of coins. It finished its ser- vice with the Welsli and English Natio- nal Anthems. As the evening grew older there were torger and more ornamental fireworks in High-street, Wind-street antl most of all. Oxford-street. Detonators placed under hamcar wheels created the most din of all. but whistles and other squeaky wind instruments gave a good account of them- selves. An idea that found some favour vas to place lighted fireworks on con- venient angles of tlie tmmcars, so that they progressed spitting out fire. "Rather marvellously, nobody seems to have been turned. OXFORD-STREET, 13 O'CLOCK. I At 10 o'clock much the densest crowd was outside the Empire and the Carlton. fireworks were let off from the roofs of both these houses, as well as thousands from the street below. There were many .beautiful rockets; there was a ray of lime- light from the top of the Empire, and al- together the display was as gorgeous as it must have been, in the aggregate, expen- sive. To walk ih rough this firework-lighting, „ jostling, singing, dancing ccowd, and yet i be utterly drtaoh-ed from it. was a queer ¡I ,Rcnsation. Some French sailors, going J)Mk to their ship9. shouting at their lou, .eat fhe Marsellaise." interested the on- 3ool cer, and a crowd near the Empire were long after 11 o'clock singing well a mixture in which in a few minutes could be de- tected Aberystwyth," Ct Sospnn Faeh." "The Perfect Hay," Me and my gal," .tlnd some hymns. There were fireworks 15tiH at midnight, and long after remnants vt the crowd were going homewards. PONTARDULAIS. j Apart from demonstrations in.the stieets I b" i?P Younfs?rs. a few bomTun? of de- I tonators. and a blazing bonfire at I bonau, there were no celebrations. GORSEINON. I There was a display of flags, but to all nppearanees it was just like any other Sat- urday. SKETTY. I The dburch bells rang merry peals till] five o'clock after the signature of the I Peace Treaty. A roaring trade was ?ono  in Roman candles and other fireworks. ] PORT TALBOT. I Peace was welcomed at Port Talbot and 1 Aberavon on Saturday by all the hooters, sirens, and whistles in the district—a super Jazz band. The streets were quickly beflagged. and were crowded throughout the evening, crowds of youths going abojit nging. Everybody was in a mood of joy and thanksgiving. NEATH. Joy bells, fireworks, and bonfires were the outward manifestations of jubiktion at Neatli in celebration of Peace. Flags and bunting were freely displayed, and street vendors reaped a harvest. The sirens and hooters at the various hives of industry heralded the news. At night crowds thronged the streets, and the con- duct was good. I There was one or two minor accidents caused by fireworks. A rocket, fired by 0 boy in Station-square crashed through ■window at the County Police Station, and P.S. Evans had a narrow escape, the roc- ket jnst missing his head. Detonators nr?d hom the railway blew up a tar?f shc?t of iron, and it landed on the roof of Mr. Lewis Arnold's grocery stores in the Green. Plight damage was done to the stores, and a little boy had a narrow escape. I CLYPACH. I The news was announced at Clydaeh at ¡ about four o'clock by the blowing of J jitters and pealing of church bells. Flags, weiv. displayed, but apart from some juv- enile efforts, no public demonstration was I indulged in. I AT THE GNOLL. I For venerations the ancient mansion of the Gnoll has looked forth from its com- manding situation above the good town of Neath, and has taken its part in many l historic festivities. On Saturday night the noMe west front of the m??sion he- veme visible for miles around as the cheer- I ful flames of an unmens? i?o?"? upon tbf Terrace burst forth,' M;d bhowprs of I sparks ascenrled higl N-e the house. The ceremony of igniting the pile was gracefully performed by Miss Bradbury, and willing helpers kept the blaze going! with fresh materia!. what time the songs J of Wales were, delightfully sun" by thp, household staff. The assembled guests rejoiced in the cheerful blaze, which must have hern visible as far away as Mumbles Head :lIH the Gower Peninsula. Far cut at sea the seamen in -passing ships were cheered in their lonely rivil. i SKEWEN. j The news was rung in by the church-and 11 school bells, and the works' hooters. AT TAWE LODGE. I The inmates at Tawe lodge were not the least enthusiastic of the celebrants of I peace on Saturday. Jt is the intention of the Guardians to .s-uitably celebrate the ¡ event In the near future, but in the ex- citement of the hour on Saturday the in- mates felt they could not restrain their pent-up feelings, and they approached the Master of House with a request that tlior should be allowed to hold a sing e-.ng concert that very evening. He readily consented, and no time was lost in deoor- í ating the hall for the occasion. When the programme began the hall was filled with the inmates, a number of whom showed their talent by singing solos, reciting and dancing. Guardian Wil) Rxes, who called at tlhe House on business, was prevailed upon to stop, an if he made a happy and appro- biiate Mole speech. I

THE TOURS.
THE TOURS. PwlMu Wreck Re- floated. REMARKABLE FEAT. The steamship Tours no longer decorates the beach of Deepglade Bay. By the time these lines appear in print, she will be safe and snug in dry dock a f Swansea awaiting the care th#, wijl make her lit for sea once more. Sinco the unsuccessful effort to, float her in the spring, the present owners and salvors have redoubled their efforts, and those of us who have seen her from time to time felt confident that whtn the nw attempt was made it would have a filir chance of success More rocks had been blasted, and a much more elaborate slip- way constructed, the gradient, being about one in six. SUNDAY'S HIGH TipE. I It had been decided by the salvors that the tide of Sunday evening would serve. 'Phis was about the highest until Septem- ber. No possible measure that might make for success had been overlooked. The surface of ile. huge Tsaillks that comprised "the slfpwav had been freely coated with vaseline art;! grease, and it was felt that when tlie-blocks holding the Tours in posi- 'I tion were removed, shfe would elide grace- llilly towards -the water. At about 6.30 p.m. it was decided that the moment had cornp .to' release the dlip from her cradle. Accordingly orders were iwn to remove the blocks, small charges of gelignite bein? us?d for this purpose. Th?y went, with one or two exceptions, am) things looked a iHtle ugly £Or, tp chances Five of the., workmen at once I volunteered to, get tlie -blocks away, and went at once to the weather f-tde of the ship for the purpose. Just as they got. there, however, the blocks dropped, and ilic workers were in a rather dangerous T)I,ition. I Duck! yelled every onlooker. And (Iown they went between the baulks, while the great shin slid doVn the <?.\ipway, ovfr their heads-rthe latter below wafer. All the were none ;;00 comfortable whan they ■nine up. but with one, exception—a man named Morris, -of Killay—they soon re- covered. Morris, suffering more from shock than injury, received medical atten- tion. and was then Hkcn to his lodgings. THE STEANIER REFLOATED. I MMntimp. the Tours had taken to her I natural clement, and was now riding com- fortably, with a much better chance of getting awav than she had hnc1.f.ince her ivnshap. AH the time, too. the tide was rising. At about 7..1.5, iust half an hour before high water, the signal went up to the three togs—the Challenger. Stag- hound. and -Foxhound—and the little craft the bows began to pull. Slowly, almost imperceptibly at first, she swung her head seaward The Tours was afloat. And as die headed up channel, very slowly at first, the eiffht hundred or so onlookers rent up full-throated cheers. On the bridge one could sop Mr. Japaos Tower?, the prond director of salvage operations, and others who have been interested, in the venture, v/hile astern, leading the cheers, was Captain Jack Davies. Two of the tugs took the Tours in han d •ind steadily proceeded lip channel, even- tually bringing up for the h'ght in Mum- bles Roads. The progress around each head1'and and point was the .?gnal for ,inul T,)oint wl-i.s the -3ignal fat, A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.. I The flotation of tho Tours is a great achievement. It was in November of last year, during a thick fog, that she ran aground at Hunt's Bay, and succeeding ,storms and high tides had Kent her broad- side op along the beach,'until she looked a ifxture. She was regarded as a total loss- and it is stated that the iinderwritcrg on that assumption had paid out ^312SJI00. Since the wreck she has twice changed hnnds, having first bee* sold for break- ;ng-np purpof.es, and being acquired from the purchasers by the preset owners. I IN SWANSEA DOCK. I On Monri iy morning s tide the lours I continued her passage, and was brought into the wharf just outside the Prince of Wales Dock. Inquiries Fliow that the voyage was quite an uneventful one, and tho fihip made very little wafer on the Ymy. I 256,000 BABIES. I F'-r.,al Sta" of The ''Daily Sketch" I £ 2,000 Competition. u I I Baby A rek for 1919, starting to-day, will be unusually interesting, and one of its manv features of importance to the Child Welfare Movement will be the final jU(1. ing on Friday, in the Daily Sketch ?.MX) Baby Competition. I No fewer than 2-56,000 babies in all parts of the country entered the scheme, which wa-? arranged under the auspices of the Xational Ikhy W k Cuncll; and over 8M Infant Welfare C?ntrps participated. "Every effort hns been made (writes Dr. Eric Pritcharrl, chairman of the National Baby Week Council Executive -Committee) to put this competition on a higher plane than has been reached on former occasions, and it is hoped that the scientific methods of judging which have 1. been introduced will dissipate many of I the old misconceptions which exi=t with I'r('ganl to standards and ideals of child- hood. Br its means we have been able to bring- liome to of mothers the menninjr and significance of the welfare movement. That the event is intensely popular is i)roved by the fact that over 800 centros are participating in the com- petition. and that 256,000 infants reprÐ- sent the numbers from which the selec- tion for the official heats have been made; truly a magnificent and encouraging re- sult, and one which proves the baseless- ness of the captions criticisms which have been offered by certain conacieDti?is ob- jectors." Mothers and their babies who have to attend the final judging on Friday will come to London the previotis day, and stay at the Premier Hotel, RnsseU-squarc. W.C., ng gpcst,, of the "Daily Sketch." After the judging there will be a fete at The Paddock, Hampstead Heath, kindly lent for the occasion by Lord Lever- hulmc, and there the prizes will be dis- tributed.

In regard to the question whether the Treaty w&; just or net, itWcl,<: neces- sary to remambeY that a colossal crune had been.committed,. Who should pay- the criminal or the victims?

One of tne heaviest tasks of the future would be to adjust the Frox-.iiig -mogrmfion- alism to the growing necessity for the linritation of nationaiism.

The paramount importance of careful attention at all times to the well-being of the eve is not sufficiently appreciated not fili f  by many of the public. Indeed, the ig- i norance which people display <?f the ills which ]M!o? ?poa neglect of 1he mot Agential yet delicate of all nature's gifis I -that of eyesight—calls for special remedy. Many a man or woman, for l instance, may fuffer fiom headache for years, seeking in vain a cure tl. aid of internal medicines. No improve- ment, of course, results, and a great deal of unnecessary worry and exnenee is caused. The source of the trouble i. in I 89 cases out of 100. traced to just one thing—eyestrain. It is nature's, warning that m\:?t be heeded. The only remedy to be found is in a. v:-it to an expert, .? this is why thp wonderlul oppor- tunity now available of an actual per- sonal consultation b w ^plcmlidly oppor- tune.

The very ^rst question that any sufiVrer should ask Are my eyes right?" and if there is the smallest doubt about it. tb»*n very first thing to do is to par an imme- diate visit to the Albert YOUR EYESiGHT. TESTED FREE. I At the Albeit Hal1.ar.y day duriivr the I doming v/ri-k, you can have year eyesight tasted free of charge by experts and by tho most modern and scientific met nods yet discovered.

Parents are spe- cially invited-to brir.3 ti-eir children have their evesight tested free. A word of warning is necessary here i gainst the many imitators of Mr. A drian Grey, who are going" about claiming to offer lenses that ¡i11 afford this protec- tion to the sight, but only the Adrian Grey T'lviray Lenw do<s so effectively, has been prove d by such experts as Dr. Lindsay G.
