Castles as Symbols of Strife Now j Passing Away." On Tuesday morning, at the Public Library, the Mayor (Alderman T. T. Corker) accorded the delegates an official welcome. The Mayor, who was present in state, was attended by his Sergeant-at-Mace (Sergt.-Major Holloway), the mace- bearers and the Town Clerk (Mr. H. Lang Coath), while he was supported by the President, Mr. Charles Madeley (Director j of the Warrington Municipal Museum); the secretary (Mr. E. G. Lowe, B.Sc., F.L.S.), about 90 delegates, and membert3 of the local Arts and Crafts Sub-Corn- mittee.. The Mayor, in welcoming the delegatesi to Swansea, said he felt proud that on their twenty-fifth anniversary they should have come to Wales, and more particularly. still that Swansea should be honoured by being chosen for the holding of that Conference. Continuing, his Worship said; "Swan-! sea is an old town with many his- torical associations. You are in the land of castles, symbols of strife between races, which has happily passed away. You will be interested in Swansea Castle, which overlooks one of OUT main streets, with its curious parapet walls, and with- in about a dozen miles cf Swansea there are as many other castles, including Oystermouth's, probably the last erected in Wales by the Normans You will have already perceived that nowadays Swansea is a busy manufacturing centre. It has been reproached wit hsuch absorp- tion in the pursuit of material interests j that no time has been found for the cul- t tivation of the arts. To some extent that may be true, but thanks chiefly to a few ardent lovers of art, we are engaged in removing that reproach, and your pre- sence here to-day is evidence of that. Our School of Arts and Crafts is the best in the Principality, mainly through the earnestness and ability of its Prin- cipal, Mr. Grant Murray. We have an art gallery in the making, and one of the finest collection of prints in the King- dom, and in connection with the R.oval Institution of South Wales a collection of art and other objects of considerable and' increasing value. We are retrieving the neglect of the past, and welcome you as skilled witnesses, who later will, I am eure, be able to testify to the fact. His Worship then dealt with the local art galleries, and concluded his re- marks with an earnest wish that the delegates sojourn in Swansea would be both fruitful and pleasurable." President's Thanks. The President thanked the Mayor most heartily for the very agreeable manner l in whieh he had welcomed the conference to Swansea. They had been looking for- ward with a good deal of pleasure to the visit to Swansea, and what they had just heard would only whet their appetites for what they were going to see in the art galleries, loan collection, and on the excursion which had been arranged to some of the ancient castles for which the district is famed. He expressed the par- tieular and extreme gratitude of the dele- gates to the local committee for the trouble which it had taken to prepare fo" the meeting, and he thanked them rno^ heartily. (Hear, hear). The President, then proceeded to deliver his presidential address on "What is the true theory of a Municipal Muee«nx." THE CONFERENCE. President's Definition of the Scope of the Museum. Dealing with the work of the Associa- tion regarding this problem, the Presi- dent said that the Association had been content to take museums as they are, and whilst welcoming their increase, admiring their enterprise., and making many sug- gestions for their development in detail, the Association has made no attempt to define tho essential elements or the reasonable limits of a municipal museum. As to the conditions attaching to various museums, no two museums developed along exactly similar lines, and apart from that, many museums in their early stages moved under the accidental im- pulse of special circumstances that did not occur elsewhere; local conditions, the transfer of the collections of a local society; the kindly thought of a generous benefactor, may combine to start and direct the young institution with any plan in the midst of the local authorities. Dealing with the proposed scheme, the President said that the object would not be to dictate to the local authorities or the Curator what must necessarily be attempted, or to suppress or in any way limit local enthusiasm or individual originality, hut to provide a body of theory so complete as to cover all possible variations 01\0- the general theme. What was the definition: of a museum? The answer must be wide enough to cover all the departments of any known museum, and even any which may arise in the future. Mr. Platnaner, in his presiden- tial address, three years ago, gave a con- cise definition in the words: A museum is a collection of specimens arranged on educational lines and with an educa- tional purpose." At first sight it ap- peared to be a very broad statement, but he (the President) submitted that it was not broad enough. Why drag in educa- tion? he asked. A Definition. Mr. Madeley then proceeded to give his own definition of the ideal museum, which, he said, iras a miniature or synopsis of the universe—the true microcosm. But the great and essential difference was that in the musesum things were classified, and therefore intelligible, whilst in the world outside they were not. Having dealt with the definition of the museum, the president dealt with its functions, alluding to the definition of Dr. Bather, "instruction. investigation and inspiration." and to the dictum of Mr. Cameron that museums are in- tended to stimulate the instinctive de- sire for knowledge in man/' But that, whilst recognising, one of the main reasons for the museum's existence, stops short of its complete function, which re- quired that some effort be made' to satisfy the craving which it excited. The President dwelt on the importance of collections of economic products, and said that now that degrees in applied science are being granted by the uni- versities, they may hnpe that technology and eventually even commerce may meet with adequate recognition in the Museum. It must be so if the Museum was to assist in the advance of every branch of human knowledge, of every laudable human interest. At present, with some important exceptions in Scotland, technology was hardly recog- nised in their municipal museums, and commerce not at all The president con- cluded by dealing with questions of clas- sification. Dr. W. Evans Hoyle, M.A., D.Se., Cardiff, proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the President, whom it was a sour.e of great pleasure to see in the presi- dential chair that year. Mr. H. M. Piatnauer, B.Sc. (ex- president) seconded, and said that the president in his address had asked a ques- tion and answered it as fully, systematic- ally and comprehensively as any man could do. The resolution was carried with ac- clamation Swansea Art Galleries. The president returned thanks, after which Mr. Grant Murray, A.R.C.A., principal of the Swansea School of Arts and Crafts, and curator of the Art Gal- leries, then proceeded to deliver a paper on the Swansea Art Galleries. He said that art gallery work in Wales was in its infancy, but, judging from the interest that had been taken in the local institu- tions he had every reason to believe that Wales would yet come to the forefront and make a name for herself in a branch of education that had in the past been neglected. He said that the visit of the Association to Swansea was a noteworthy one. as it was the hundredth anniversary of the first making 'of china at Swansea, the 25th anniversary of the Museums' Association, and the third anniversary of the opening of the Glyn Vivian Art Gallery. It also celebrated the first visit to Wales. (Hear, hear). Dealing with the local art galleries, £ r. Murray said that Swansea had been extremely fortunate in having had two such gifted and generous men as the late Mr. Deffett Francis and the late Mr. Glyn Vivian, who had given the two local galleries, bearing their names, and their examples had been followed by numerous lovers of art in the district, and also by Monsieur Depeau of Rouen, who had taken a great interest in the gallery, and presented and lent numerous paintings and other things' on various occasions. (Applause). Mr. Murray then gave interesting descriptions of the art galleries and gave dem.onstratons of the method of mounting and framing prints. He also spoke of the school of arts and crafts, which, he sa.id, was the first in Wales. (Hear, hear). On the local committee they had specialists in almost every branch of art. who were always ready and anxious to givo their time and money to the work. (Applause). The President expressed the obligation of the meeting to Mr. Murray for his most able paper. Many nts Avaiiable. Mr. Eimbault Dibdin. in proposing a vote of tbankjj to itr. Murray, alluded to the value of small special exhibitions cf prints. Mr. Murray, in responding, said that although they had so many prints in the galleries, he had about 2,000 awaiting treatment when he had funds. (Hear, hear). ÎLn interesting paper was read by Dr. H. Langton, Brighton, on the treatment of bird skeletons with sand, and a dis- cussion followed. Children's Room. Mr. Ben H. Mullen, M.A., gave an in?l teresting address on "The Children's Iloom nt alford Museum, which, he said. had been established with the in-! tention of providing a series of introduc- tions to the various major collections. and to bring the young people and others into intelligent and sympathetic touch with those collections; to teach them to use their eyes, imagination and intellecL j (Hear, hear). A 'discussion wa-s contributed to bv I Dr. F. A. Bather, M.A., D.Sc., F.R.S. 1 (Natural History). British Museum, Mr. E. Howarth, F.Z.S.. F.R.A.S., Sheffield, and Mr. R. F. Martin. The Luncheon. At the luncheon, the Mayor proposed the health of the Museums' Association and its president, Mr. Maidlov. The president. Mr. Maideley, replied, and proposed the health of the Mayor and Corporation, which was drunk with enthusiasm.

CONFIDENCE AND COURAGE. -0 PRIME MINISTER'S TRIBUTE TO MR. I CHAMBERLAIN. NEW TYPE OF PERSONALITY. I In the House of Commons on Monday the Prime Minister, referring to the death of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, said they had to mourn another gap in their ranks, not the least marked because he who filled it had for some time past been withdrawn from the fighting line. For a period of thirty years Mr. Cham- berlain had been in the forefront of their Parliamentary life. That he never held the title of leader-of that House, or of head of the Government, was held by his friends and foes alike an accident in his career. During the whole of that time his name was, and would always /be, im- pctishably associated with all their great public controversies. Neutrality was itl,possible to a man of his temperament and convictions. Great Gifts. I I.. Te the arena of their political eonfliCiS he ever brought a combination of great I'arliamentary gifts, and, what was rarer still, a new type of personality. He was the pioneer of a, new generation. It might be said that he introduced and per- fected a new style of oratory. He had at his disposal all the accom- plishments of the artiste raillery, sarcasm, invective, and, more perhaps than any orator of our time, he gave the impression of complete command of his material and himself. > In his striking personality and master- ful resolution there were no movements of hesitation or doubt. That was not the time to judge his pontieal career, but he (Mr. Asquith) would say that genuine sympathy with the victims of our social and industrial life never failed him, and ao statesman of this, or perhaps any time, surpassed him in the two great qualities of confident* and courage—con- fidence in the justice of his cause and courage in its steadfast pursuit. His character produced unflinching support J and hostility. Friends Always, I Mr. Asquith referred to the Tariff Re- form campaign and said that through it all they never ceased to be friends. The later years of his life showed that the late statesman possessed passive courage to face the most tragic fate that could befall a man of action. The Prime Minister concluded by mov- ing the adjournment of the House, and said they would join in acknowledging the common debt they owed to the life and example of the deceased statesman. Mr. Bouar Law said they were grateful on the Opposition benches to the right hon. gentleman for the tribute which he I had paid to the leader they all so much admired. Mr, Balfour. I Mr. Balfour said ohat Mr. Chamberlain was one of the greatest Parliamentary figures of his time or of any time. He was in that House but four years when it became obvious that he must be a member of any Liberal Ministry. At the same time he (Mr. Balfour) believed that when posterity weighed what he had done and endeavoured to do. it was not upon Mr. Chamberlain as a Parliamen- tarian that the historian would fix his gaze. He thought it would be felt that it was as an imperial statesman, as Colonial Secretary, that lie had doulI the greatest and most unique work which had fallen to the lot of any single statesman. He was a great idealist, a great states- man, a great friend, a great man, and the House did well to mark in that signal and exceptional manner the sense of the loss which the country had sustained. WEST BIRMINGHAM. It is understood (says the Times "). that Mr. Austen Chamberlain has decided to carry out the arrangement by which he is to succeed his father as member for West Birmingham. He will accordingly resign his seat for East Worcestershire at once, and the two writs will be moved at an early date.

RINGWORM ALL OVER HEAD. 16, Glover St., Preston, Lanes., Eng.- "The ringworm began about a year ago with a small place at the back of my head. I noticed the hair was leaving it. It gradually got worse and spread all over th-a back and sides of my head leav- ing the places quite bare, and also a small place at the front. It was a very | bad disifgurement and I suffered a great deal with ceaseless itching and burning. I could not sleep. "I was tired of trying things for the complaint when I happened to read an advertisement about Cuticcra Soap and Ointment a-nd decided to give them trial. From the first I noticed what clean appearance the affected places had after usiitg the Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment and the pain was much easier. After a few weeks, first washing w;.th Cuticura Soap and then applying tho Cuticura Ointment 1 received a cure and my hair began to grow again." (Signed) Syd Dark, Jan. 23. 1914.

PRESERVATIVE IN MILK. I PROSECUTIONS FOR -e USE OF BORIC AClDj AT PORT TALBOT. At Aberavon on Monday Messrs. S. J. Wright and Co Ltd., wholesale milk vendors, and ham and bacon curers, Taunton. was summoned for selling milk not of the nature and substance de- ,manded by containing 131 grains of boric acid. Mr. Lewis M. Thomas prosecuted, and Mr. Dan Perkins defended. Inspector J. Jones said he took samples at the G.W. Railway station. Supt. Ben Evans said the certificate from the analyst showed that the milk contained 131, grains per gallon of boric acid. Mr Perkins argued that no purchase had taken place between the prosecution and defendants because no money was paid for the milk. This objection was over-ruled. For the defence, Henry G. Barn, de- fendants' chief clerk, swore that his firm had not used any boric acid. They never used any preservative as it was not necessary, as the firm had a proper refrigerating plant with which the milk was treated before being sent out. Fined C5 and costs, and advoca.tes fee. Did not Ask for Fine. Messrs. S. J. Wright and Co. were further charged with supplying milk from two churns consigned to William Hill, Cwmavon, containing in each churn 13 grains of boric acid to the g'allon Mr. Lewis M. Thomas: The prosecu- tion do not ask for a fine in the second charge. For the fi rst charge in the ca?e of Hill's milk, defendants were fined ?5 and costs, and ordered to pay costs in the second case, and £ 3 3s. advocates fee.

THE LATE LADY JANE VIVIAN. Before the opening of the Aberavon I Police Court on Monday. Dr Arnallt Jones, chairman of the Bench, referred to the lamented death of the late Lady Jane Vivian, and the great loss Sir Arthur Pendarvis Vivian, MJB., had sus- tained thereby. Si-r Arthur had filled important posi- tions, not only in the district, but throughout the county, and had been a county magistrate for 57 years, and ha.d often presided over that rota, and in this capacity, and on aU public bodies, had given his sage and mature advice. He and his colleagues de-ired to offer their | deepest sympathy with Sir Arthur in 1;8 great bereavement. Mr. Lewis M. Thomas on behalf of the legal profession", associated himself with the remarks and sympathy.

:q¡¡¡,- NON-SUITED. i I LLANELLY CONTRACTOR FAILS IN ACTION II AGAiNST LOUCKQR MAN. A claim for S30 was made a.t the County Court on Monday by T. P. Jones, contractor, Lianelly, against J. T. Davies, Loughor in respect of goods supplied. Mr. J. Lewis Phillips appeared for the, plaintiff. and Mr. Hunter (instructed by I Mr. Gibson Davies, Port Talbot) de- fended. Mr. Phillips said that the £30 was due under all instrument in writing dated May 26th, 1913. The solicitbr who had been instructed by the defendant had admitted the document which he (Mr. Phillips) put in. It would be necessarv to explain how the document came to bo signed. It appeared that Davies had instructed a firm called Chapman and! Co. to build him a house at Longhor. and: Chapman and Co. came to the plaintiff i askin to be supplied with building materials. Mr. Hunter: That is not. quite ris If you look at the document you will see! that the erection of the house had been started before this document was signed. Air. Phillips: Perhaps my learned friend is right. but I do not think it is material. There were certain reasons why the plaintiff should not give credit to Chapman and Co., but in order that the building might go on we supplied the goods on the strength of defendant sign- ing that document. Mr. Hallam said that in May, 1913. goods to the extent of S30 were supplied in connection with the erection of a house at Loughor in which Davies now lived. Arthur Randell, clerk in the employ of the plaintiff, produced the account s h olliv 11 showing the goods supplied for the build- ing of a house now occupied by the de- fendant. submitted that the plaintiff Mr. Huntrrr submitted that the plaintiff had not proved his case. In the agree- ment upon which the claim was based i was the phrase on completion of the contract." The contract referred to was the sale of the house by Chapman and Co. to Davies, and no evidence had been called as to this. That contract was never completed, as the property fell into the hands of Chapman and Co.'s mort- gagee,s. I His HonourIt is very hard lines on the plaintiff, but I aga afraid I must non- suit him. I find that the £ 30 did not be- come payable to Mr. T. P. Jones until the completion of the contract. The contract was not completed, and the money did not therefore become payable.
