T &SL BABY'S DEATH. ? ? "4 ?? L__ Don't you think it is dangerous for parents to let infants sleep in the same beds as themselves ?" said the Swansea Deputy Coroner (Mr. Clark) to Mrs. J. Jones, the mother of a six weeks old .child, who was found dead at the side of her mother. Witness eaid she awoke at 6.20 a.m., to find the child had expired. It looked quite natural. The medical evidence showed thai death was -due to convulsions consequent AhTn- weakness from premature birth. A Aocordw^ly wo.4 rcturaedj,

ij The Day's Gossip. TtPhL e Days (?oss?p. I I.eader Office, Saturday. J | I listened, at the Botary Club luncheon I yes:rday. to an exceedingly interesting twenty minutes' talk by Mr. Cranshaw on the American coal trade. Some of his facts and tlvure-j were, as Mr. Arthur | Andrews afterwards said, a little stupefy- ing; but it is good for the insular Bri- | | tlshcr to have such things brought j forcibty to his nrt'ee. Figures as to out- 11 put given hy this Englishman who had j I had many years experience in Ameri- I can production were amaz'Dg—5uch as the  three hoists a minute that his colliery I ) succeeded in reaching, and the immcme tonnage per day obbined by means of ,I coal-cutting appliances. The average 5 cost in the bituminous area worked 0)1. j lat y?ar. ?t 2 dollarj and 20 ccnts. per t ton. i Smokeless Towns. ? We WŒre told of the unboiled atmos- phere of many ol the Amencan towns owing to the mun'?.pal ordinances forbid- ding the burning in great common ;ties of any but smokeless coals, such as anthra- cite. What an dfoct such au ordinance would have upon &moke-Lidon cities 6uch as London and Manchester! We in Swan- sea are very fortunate in thii respect, owing. I suppose, ,) tile influence of sea- winds in keepm, the air pure; but we could be less conservative than we are in the matter ot adapting our grates to the burning 01 anthracite coal. i The Town Hill Allotments. 1 j Infancy that next year will see a change in the cultivation of allotments on Town | Hill. Several friends of mine have de- I eided to give up their plots, arguing that thy only took them as a war-time I measure; but surely there is an aspect I which has been overlooked. There i, nothing more healtli-ginng than spado work in pure atmosphere on top of the I hill, away from business worries and the rumble of trafRc in the busy 6trt.$ I below. Again, I eeo no signs of the price j of vegetables coming down. Allotment j work, if properly done, makes one inde- j pendent of the ?reeugroeer. and the pro- duce is all the more appdi:-ing when one i knows that it is home-grown. [ Clashing of Interests. I I To-day West Wah'5 is without anything in the nature of fi football The public are grumbling about the way in which the fixtuies are arrangoo. and I must say that there is a good deal of I sound common- nse in what they say. Last week, for instance, we had a deplor- able clashing of interests in Swansea— Portsmouth being at the Vetch Field I and Leicester at St. Helens. A similar state of affairs existed on October 11th, when Queen's P^rk Rangers and Cardiff were here the same afternoon. People are asking whether this sort of thing can- not be avoided Well, the position in a nutshell is this: The Rugby fixtures are arranged very early—I believe that next season's list- is well on the road to com- j pletion even now. Swansea Town, on the other hand, have to conform with the w'shes of the Southern League. A couple of weeks ago Swansea were playing at Xewport under both codej. Mr. W. (.riffi- th-s, the secre.ta.ry of the All Whites, I tried to get things altered, but the TJsk- siders were unable to arrange things. I Good Men and True. I The Coroner's Court i6 a thoroughly British Institution, and, a-3 conducted by our Deputy Coroner, Mr. David Ciarke, j most effie'ent in its onerous task of dis- i covering the, caa-e of death," from the solemn compact made on the Book," on Behalf of our Sovereign Lord tb4 King, as rouohing et-c. "to tell the truth, the. I whole truth and. nothing but the truth, right up to the "verdict in aecorlance j j with tho medical evidence," and until acceptance of the time-honoured shilling j releases the juror from his obligation. 8y the way, coroners' jurors are among the long-suffering who have aever yet struck tor higher rates of pay, though at the present moment a shilling is a I pitiably inadequate sum for: wo, three or four hours' skilled labour. The Swan- seasea court is wel! equipped, i ut as wit- nesses have often the habit of conveying their information in a quiet, mlidentiai tone, as though it were a private con- I versation, and the hall is directly above i a busy street where cars and lorries are j constantly passing, it is not always easy to follow the proceeding intelligently. The coroner, however, manages x) obtain the information he requires, and has a very.pleasant and useful habit of re- peating it from the chair. A Llangollen House. h Some of the London papers are deplor- ing the alleged English invasion of .Nort.i JiVales, but they have, I think, struck their note of alarm upon the the wrong key. It is very funny to see and hear people who, at times, raise a cry of horror at the totally fallacious and unfounded cry of Wales for the Welsh now deploring the fact that "orne English people, who have an eye for the beautiful, and have Lioney to spend, are buying properties in the Principality, and one of the instances cited is the purchase of the fairly big oid cottage known as Plas j. Hen La-dies at Llangollen, "an old curiosity shop which the London writers think ought to have been bought by, and for the n elsh nation! But, the dear old ?ionls—Lady iijeanor Butler and Miss Ponsonby—-were not Welsh except in so far as they settled down together in the midst of the charming woodland borne to revel in the enjoyment of the scenery, live a quiet life, and wear dresses which only exhibited eccentricity. I uave my- self. and with parties, frequently visited the old house and regarded it, as most people do, as a bit ot a "show p lace," but there is little distinctively Welsh, ajul absolutely nothing national about it. "Wales for the Welsh is not a Welsh cry, and we don't object to English people enjoying our scenery and living in  houses built upon Welsh soil. Why  should we? In the Old Mill. I Who doesn't like windmills? Thus I CI Roamer," and he continues: There was an old windmill near a farm where I used to rusticate in my youthful days —a sort of king of the castle of a, wind- mill, perched precariously, like Ajax defying the lightning, on the dge of a steep hill—dismantled since goodness knows when, its sails gone like a dere- lict ship, its red tiles missing Jiere and there, as though he bad just 'tiven Don Quixote his quietus. My burning un- quenchable yearning was to climb up and explore the mill and thus satisfy my lust for high adventure. When I did eventually clamber up to it, the rabbits, no end of rabbits, were sitting -on the platform in the dusk-quite twenty, without romancing, believe me I-but unhappily the crack of a twig lerfoot, and pst-t-t-t-t-t, twenty white tails dis- appeared into the undergrowth. But they came back—oh, yes! they came bwk, and when they s:iw the door of the mi11, their mill, open, each little ear cocked up, and each ,¡td" :i:jb-it became i an animated note of interrogation, Someone else who was even more aston- ished was the tenant of the first floor, an old sinister owl, who stared me out of countenance with his great, red saucer eyes, and then, frightened' at 'he un- I usual apparition of a human, shook his dusty jvipgSj, and asliod- ggw UQW
IARAUSEMENTS.
I ARAUSEMENTS. I Rsund thi Swansea Picture Halts and Theatres. I EiV?PI RE. Patrons of the Lmpire, Swansea, will be among the fit to witne&s Albert de Courville's newest revue (written by him- &elf and his versatile collaborator, Wal Pink) which, given the title of Tip- Top," is making its appearance on Mon- day next. Comedy and novelty comprise the keynote of this production, which will be staged by one of America's famous comedians, Leon Errol, who has (tab- lished himself a firm favourite in Joy- Bells" at the London Hippodrome. Spec- taeularly the revue has been treated with the typical De Courville objective-—that of pleading; the eyo by colour scheme and sparkling animation, while to interpret its ten scenes, a cast in keeping with the fitle has been engagd. The resourceful. ness of Tubby Edlin as a Star revue comedian is well-known. Lily Edwards, whoso long association with revue has proved a happy choice, is at the head of Tip-Top's" feminine delights. Sup- porting them comes other favourites in Mabel Marks, Percy Yorke, Ian Lloyd Mackenzie, J. K. Allen, Martin Dawson. while Max Mayne and Harper, the up-to- the-minute dancers, will introduce all that is latest in dancing, including the real jazz. Musically the production has been tunefully treated by Fred Chappelle, the British composer, and to ensure a super-beauty chorus backing nothing has been left undone. THE GRAND. Next week, an old Swansea favourite, Mr. Louis Calvert, will appear in his re- markable success, Daddalums." Mr. Calvert, who is one of rhe greatest actors, appeared in Swansea over a quarter of a century ago, and immediately established himself in the affcctions of Swansea play- goers. He acted in Proof," and a nnm- ber of other etirring dramas. The play in which he is to appear next week is one of the greatest stage successes of modern times. A great critic wrote of it: I have seen a play. One sees only a few plays in a lifetime. Most plays you just endure. Daddaliim-t was advertised as a new play. It is not only that; it is a new kind of play. It is a play for young folks, no matter how long they have lived. It is a play for parents, it is a play for lovers. The lesson is that lavish love, which gives freedom from work, tends to enslave just as much as does the ?- I 1-1  I- I a'tecuon wnicn eternally nenges ana pro- í tects. But that isn't all. The feminist will find her argument here pr6sented. j So will the student of economics; but, most of all, parents will think the play is written just for them. Mr. Calvert is supported by a full West End com- pany, including Edyth Olive, Margaret Vaughan, Dorothy Carr, Erpeet Hendrie, W. Edward Stirling, Francis Lister, Ed- ward Bonfield, etc., etc. There will be a < matinee on Saturday afternoon. i THE ELYSIUM. I An enjoyabls afternoon or evening can always be spent at the Elysium, High- street, for here all the In test films of the day, from drama to comedy, are screened. Next week a really splendid bill of fare will he shown. For the first throe days I the place of merit will be held by a pow- erful Goldwyn picture, Money Mad," featuring Miss Mae Marsh. This is the type of play that carries a vital message I into the hearts of every man, woman and child. r Heiress at Coffee, Dan's," is an- other finn picture which will be appre- ciated by all who see it. Other spfcendid films include some very funny comedies, and the Gazette. An all star programme will be shown at the week end. The fea- ture film will be The Dressmaker's Model," a drama of a slanderedwoman who defended herself. Houdini serial will be continued. f THEATRE ROYAL. I The main feature at the Thentt Royal for Monday, Tuesday find Wednesday is a delightful Triangle photoplay entitled u Evervwoman's Husband, featuring Gloria Swanson. The second feature is "Sunny Jane." starring Jackie Saun- ders, This picture is screened in five parts, and the story ir, a most exciting I one, whilst the acting and staging I effects are remarkably clever. The fourteenth episode of the serial Hands Up." entitled The Oracle Decree." makes the mystery around the story more exciting as it draws to the end. Oriental Lovo" is a Triangle-Keystone comedy, featuring Ora Carew, screened in two parts, together with Pathe's Gazette and the usual exquisite music form a most delightful programme. On Thursdav, Friday and Saturday, Con- stance iVlmadge appears in Sauce for the Goose," a play of the farcical order. The production and the photography are of the very best class, and it will be I" tound tnat tlms mm is a very wortuy successor to A Pair of Silk Stockings."

Ii "Wedlock," the latest Bessie Barris- cale picture, which comes to the Castle on Monday, Tuesday aud Wednesday next week, is a powerful exposition of the evils of modern divorce, and it gives this char- ming star what is, unquestionably/one of her most fascinating roles. The picture is adapted from the famous novel, The Heart of Rachel," and it unfolds many dramatic scenes of great intensity, in which Miss Barriscale shows to special advantage. It is a powerful photo-drama in every way, and should satisfy the most discriminating picture-goer. The second feature is a five-part Wm. Fox comedy- drama entitled The Rebellious Bride." This is a very pleasing and romantic love story, breezy, bright and entertaining. The leading part is played by Peggy Hy- land, the vivacious little Britisher, who has won success and wide popularity by her splendid work in Fox's famous pro- ductions. The chief attractions for Thursday are The Voice of Conscience," one of the Metro master productions, in which Francis Bushman and Beverley Bayne are starred, and Uneasy Money," featuring Taylor Holmes, adapted from the story by P. G. Wodehouc* CARLTON. Next week the management of the Carlton will provide two of the best pro- grammes.

For the second part of the week Pauline Frederick will be screened in The Fear Woman."
