NEXT WAR. Aeroplanes and Airships. It plainly indicates that the isolation of the United States is ended," was the comment of General Mitchell, U.S. Army Air Service Chief, apropos of the recent transcontinental flight. He did not doubt that the next greftt war would witness the establishment of systems of aerodromes for defence from hostile land and &ea forces against which aeroplanes could be successfully concen- trated, while supplies conld be ensured by means of great rigid clirigihJ, This would practically negative the value of navies as far as their ability to deal with the first blow was coiieerned.- Reuter.

RACE SUICIDE. I I I Death of Healthy Children. The Empire's need of healthy, vigorous ¡ children was voiced by Father Bernard I Vaughan at the Conference of the National Association for the Prevention of Tuber- culosis at the Central Hall, Westminster, on Saturday "It is terrible to think that at a time when the death-rate is far above the birth- rate, when our nurseries are gilent, and our divorce courts are clamourous, tuber- culosis is taking such a terrible 11 of our people," said Father Vaughan. WANT HEALTHY MEN. t inere never was a time vrnen we I wanted a more strong, healthy, virile, vigorous race of men, not merely to be Empire builders, but Empire supporters, helping our Empire to merit, o.,cb day more and more, its place in the sun. To think our divorce courts are being used so plentifully by all sections of the ommunity, ajid that there are families -viio o not want to co-operate with God in building i,p our Empire, but shake their fist in His f«.ce and eay, We can get on without V--u I Young women have worked hem^eives to the bone during war eervice, and are no longer fitted to become mothers. is also a section who have been tlrt 'j"g motor-cars and do not want to trundle a baby cart in the slum3," was *'iot'jer of Father Vaughan's points.

[CONCRETE HOUSES.! Claim to Build Them in A Fortnight. Experiment at Porth- cawL Ideal bungalows and cottages con- structed of large concrete blocks, which can be erected in a fortnight, and will, it is claimed, reduce a housewife's labours by 50 per cent., are the latest solution to the housing problem. One hundred D.11d fifty of these con- erete bungalows nre to be built at Porth- cawl, South Wales, in the near future. A sample" cottage is nearly completed at Bow, London, E. Outstanding facts which are claimed for the concrete cottages are:— It can be built in a fortnight, provid- ing all materials are to hand, and is dry enough to live in within a few days after completion. It, is fireproof, and waterproof. The concrete wall surface improves and har- dens with rain. NO CORNERS. I There are no corners, so that dust cannot accumulate. It is impossible for mice or other ver- min to exist in such a building. A cottage containing entrance-hall (there are no passages), four bedrooms, living room and combined kitchen-scul- lery, costs £500. It is warm in winter and cool in sum- mer. The "sample" cottage at Bow is a very pleasant-looking residence, with large, airy windows and a wall surface which looks like rough brown stone. Two layers of concrete blocks, with a cavity of about 2in. between, constitute the walls. NO NEED FOR SKILLED LABOUR. I Ihese blocks, ot patent design, mea- sure 2ft. 3in. long by 9in. deep and 3in. or 4in. thick. They are simply placed one on top of each other like bricks. Practically the whole of the house can be constructed with unskilled labour. Floor surface and construction is of patent design, while it is also proposed to have flat roofs, thus avoiding the un- necessary expense of timbering and tiles. In these concwe cottages," said Mr. Jefferies, the inventor of the enter- prise, we have abolished the kitchen as a kitchen and also what is commonly known as the parlour. In their place we have the large comfortable living- room and the combined kitchen-scullery. In countless cottage homes the housewife practically lives in the kitchen and the få miIy hn ve all their meals there. With our concrete homes the house- wife has a large, comfortable room for all meals and leisure hours. All cooking and other domestic work is confined to the kitchen-scullery."

HONEST BEN. I -— o to Work. I Gets Stokers Back to Work. I New York, Sunday—Mr. Ben Tillett, M.P., the dockers' leader, played an im- portant part in inducing New York's longshoremen to accept the strike settle- ment terms accepted hy their own officials and to return to work. At a lively meeting the men refused to listen to Mr. Connor, their president, but Ben was given a ready hearing. He counselled them honourably to carry out their obligation and return to work, and said: While we hold employers to their contracts, the least we can do is to honour our own."

I SKETTY HERO. I Corpl. Dd. Waters Honoured I A plea pant function, all the more pleasant because of the circumstances which had led up to it, took place at the Vivian Hotel, Sketty, during the week- end, when there was a crowded gathering of his friends to do honour to Corporal David Waters, Penrbeol, who has gained so many distinctions in the war. These include the M.M. with two clasps, the French Croiz de Guerre, the Belgian Mili- tary Cross, and he has now been recom- mended for the D.C.M. Mr. M. Beynon, the well-known commer- cial traveller, presided, and after referring to Skctty's contribution to the Forces, j eulogised the exceptional qualities of the recipient. Mr. James Howcll said that Corporal Waters could well be called a super-hero. On behalf of the company and the many friends who were unable to be present Mr. Wm. Watkins handed to Corporal Waters! a black ebony, silver-mounted, walking stick and a wallet of Treasury notes. Corporal Waters briefly responded. During the evening the following con- tributed to the musical programme; Prof. Tom Jenkins (at the piano). Master Tom Jenkins, Messrs. Tom Lewis, Beddoes, — Dickman, — Hopkins, Garbett, and C. Stevens.

I ALLEGED DESERTER. I David C. Robeon, a Cwmavon soldier, was charged at Aberavon on Monday with being an Army absentee. Supt. Ben I Evans said Robblin had only recently been discharged from the Army and bad re-enlisted. He had given a date to re- i turn but had failed to do so. Sergt, 11 Evans said the defendant had been very' busy. He was a grave-digger, and he could not get anyone to take his place, —Defendant was remanded to await an escort.

LOCAL DIVORCE. Swansea Engineer Granted Decree. LONDON, Monday. In the Divorce Court to-day, John Crowley, engineer, Orange-street, Swan- sea, was granted a decree nisi because of the misconduct of his wife, Mary Ann, j with a man named Johnson. The case was undefended. The parties married in 1901, and lived afterwards at Orange-street. In 1911, petitioner ob- tain a separation from his wife on ac- count of her drunkenness. Later on, petitioner caught his wife in the act of adultery with the co-respondent, and filed this petition.

WAR FORTUNES. ) Mr. H. Samuel Demands a Levy. .I Mr. Herbert Samuel, at Saltburn on Saturday, said the Premier had declared that we had a debt of 8,000 millions and that the interest of 400 millions was a per- manent charge. Did that imply, asked Mr. Samuel, that no effort would be made to recover from our Allies and from the Dominions the 1,700 millions which had been lent to them during the war? Some new source of revenue must bo found, and if it were practicable to levy a tax upon fortunes accumulated during the war he felt convinced that such a measure would be juqt in principle. (Cheers.) Reasonable savings and small accumulations should not be hit, but the country should insist upon an inquiry into the huge war fortunes that had been built up. PRODUCE OR PERISH. I At Edinburgh on Saturday Sir Donald Maclean said that the watchwords for to-day were Produce or Perish. Econo- mise or go bankrupt." The proposal to levy heavy contributions on war fortunes should at once be seriously examined. Soon it might lie too late to get at these accumulations. KEY INDUSTRIES. I Sir John Simon, at Glasgow on Satur- day, said that the complete system of pro- tection during the war had shown how restrictions on imports tended to cause an Mtounding rise in prices. The Govem- ment were to blame for maintaining the system of protection after the ghting was over. It key industries were to be pro- tected the clumsy and absurd method of prohibiting exports should not be adopted,
