POLICEWOMEN'S WORK Calming Apprehensions Caused by Vernis. The policewoman is beginning, ag it were, to find hor feet. In its report for 1915, the Women Police Service is able to iM«cord much good work, chiefly, of course, aiuong women and children. Most of its uniformed members act as a semi-official policewomen," but some have obtained, paid posts in the police forces at Folkestone, Hull, Grantham. Wimbledon and Richmond, where they work under the direction of the chief con- stable or superintendent of the district. and are maintained out of the rates, like policemen Typical oxample*i of policewomen^ work are quoted. One is as follows- "A serious fight was taking place bê- tween two drunken soldiers who should kave been in camp. The men had taken oft' their coats to fight. The policewomen cleared the crowd, separated the fighters, persuaded them to put on their coats, shako hands, and return to camp." During an East Coast Zeppelin raid policewomen were asked to assist in keep- ing order in the streets. An excited little crowd of women and tired children at one street corner could not at first be per- suaded to go horn", when the raid was over, because of a fikifipicious light which re- mained in the sly. The policewomen calmed thorn, states the report, explained that the light had nothing to do with Zep- pelins, but was merely the planet Venus, and sent: the crowd quietly home. The expense of the service, whose head- quarters are at iittle G sorgo-street, West- miuister. are at present paid by voluntary contributions.

THE RADIUr GIRL s MiSS ALVA YORK'S AMUSINS ? EXPER?m :HCE i (By a. Dramatic Ccntributor.) When I saw Miss Alva York at thp I.ondon Pavilion early last yesar, and watched fcer melhod^ and how she put her, songs "ovpr the footlights," and got into! quick and pathetic ioucii with her andimce, I wished f-be. would visit Swan- cea. Thi? we?k t?t ?nsh M! mlhllpd, ajid to wa?h her wo?? J(tt night in the tit? role of The Radium Girl H revue was to me a real pleai-nre, and I could tell by the remarks of those around me that hc-r individuality had appealed almost as t strongly to tlm a8 it had done to me. Jh York is an interesting personality.

Melchet Court Souvenir. Amongst her souvenirs is one that eh* had given to her on one of the occasions when she visited Mekhet Court and cnter- f^.ined the men who have been under treatment at Sir Alfred Mond's country residence on the versre of the New Forest. Miss York has travelled extensively and had mtn." adventures. She has been the j victim of many interviews at the hands of Ajnerican -Pre-C?juen, all of whom testify in the highest terms to her popu- | Ia.-riiv- in the land where the d-olhrs flow. Once while over there she to held up by a. large member of the monkey tri who had escaped and took up a position ) outride the door of her room at the theatre — a position from which he w,-). only with difficulty. That is one of htir comic episwlss. j In training and temperament, York is a. sort of amalgamation. Born in Liverpool, one side of her family is Welsh > —related to a leading and well-known branch of the great race of Joneses. But she has spent no much time in the I that sh e has gained maity useful American expressions, which find ample expression in the piquancy of her performances.

I IMEFIOF KEWSPAPEM   How a Swansea Agent I Caught a Boy. At Swansea Jrjvenile Police Court, on Tuesday, a boy about lo years of age was charged with stealing papers from a I parcel Ixdonging to .Mr. Ireo. Williams, wholesale stationer, 1 iig-h-streol. Mr. Williams said he wae in the habit of leaving parcels of papers in a lorry outside Iw-plsee. On Monday and Tues- day last he missed a portion of the con- j tents of a jmrsel. Next morning he eon- i cealed himself, and watched tho papers. He saw the boy come, take a knife from )iis pocket, and cut the ropes which I bound a parcel. He pulled out some papers* and went towards the Station. Mr. Williams then stepped out, and called on the boy to stop. The boy there- upon threw the papers on the groliiii, and ran away. WiBiajn-s caught him, and harnlftd him over to Sergt. Wil- liams. The value or the papers was. 3s. The Boy: Only one m.orning I ever took them, Mr. Williams. Sergt.

GALLIPGLI MARVEL BRITISH WITHDRAWAL EXTENDED OVER; TEN DAYS. THE FINAL STAGES Salonika, Mr. G.

Now that it is all safejy over j some more details may be given of how the larger operations at SUyla, and Anzac wa-s car-ied out. A TEN DAYS' EVACUATION. i A J. O i i r, L >->una, aua no ooubt at Cape Helles I too, the evacuation was spread over about tea njghes. It wac divided into thret, poliosis, in the first of wli_ieh all ttie win- ter stores and superfluities were embark- ed. Then came the stage in whi-ch every- tiuug was shipped away except the actual food and ammunition needed for the men, and the first drafts of tho latter w<vre a\&,y l?ci.'un to be on hoard the vessels.

This latVr motto was so often repeated, in fact, I-lip t it,. is eaid that one over-worked &ta<i-j oiffoer, who received newe during the critical part of the evacuation proceed-1 ing? that a baby ?rl had been born into his ho?t&oh?Id, ft?ted thai: it ?'as hM .i?-j t' ution to t?l<gr?ph that the child should be c)iri«*ened Norniidity."

LOCAL SCIENCE STUDENTS —— FINE SWJUtSU RECORD THE MAYOR'S SPEECH ON KKCWIEDBEAS UTIUAL ASSL-T I NEW WORLDS IS COHQUER The distribution of certificates r) the! successful day and evening itudent^ ot j the Swansea Technical College was made by the Mayoress (Mrs. T. M.errells) in the j A^sem'ily Hail of the Grammar School on Monday evening. The May, (Aid. T. Mcr-! relies1 presided, and his supporters in- tiuded Mr. Ivor Gwynne (chairman of the j .Lducation Committee), the Principal (Dr. Varieyi. and Mr. W..fames (secretajy). The Mayor, in opening, said he was i pteased to note from the lejwrt of T);1 \>trley, which was just about to be pub- li:,hed. that ttMi school was in a more suc- cessful j>osition than over before. He was glad to noto i ?l at ?o .many of the advan(?d  students hd joined the F?rc?-. (Ap-¡ p?u?.) PKtcepdtng. he ?aM he wished ? icipr?s <!?ou the students that the h- ¡ c?tion which v as h?iBg i?part?t j) thera was not for their o?'n B'°&?-bpnt\?? <jr ?i?ri- ?catioa. Kaoh one of them had a part f\1 play in lite. S")Me" oil his Wor- ship, have been playing our part for many years, and it is almost time for us to walk off the stage oc You art- about to start the part you will have, to I play in liie. It will be a very important part, and in my opinion it will be more important than anybody has played j before. Science a National Asset. 1 rntil this war, the Mayor continued, the j real value of a technical education had not been brought home to them in such forcible manner. The engineer and the c-nemist was playing a greaten* part in th: i | war at the present moment than ever: roldier. Without the engineer and tlle I j chemist the soldier would not be able to do hah as much effective work. No mat- ter what progress the student* attained, they should never try to persuade them- selves they had got on .implyby th(>ir Q'1óIi U x- t h i -r ov; n eiforto. No man or woman could say, "Alone I did it." When men not at j war they were always at war with Mother Mature. It up to the engineer ar.d the chemist to overcome seme forces and i harness others, and the sole object of those efforts should bo to bring more joy to the human race and ntore leisure by the aving of human energy to enjoy the good j thiags Nature had bestowed upon us. j There was an old saying, "Any man who ean make two blade*, of grass grow where one previously grew )." a Iven^factor to I mankind." What applied to the farmer applied equally to the students before him. Referring to the obnoxious fumes I which were given off at forne of the local works, often injuring the health of those engaged therein, Worship said he saw no reason why some student of chemistrv in that school pr one who had ht'f' asso- ciated with it, should not find means of !t overcoming those fumes. Harnessing the Ticls. There wore forces, even known to science, which might be harnessed in the future. He onee rood that there was -a: ffi- cient force in the rise and fall of tht' tirle of the Bristol Channel to drive e,(,ry machine in tlie country. Would not it be a glorious thing if someone could discover means; of harnassirg that force, *o as to obviate the necessity of men going down into the bowels of the earth to dig coal. He trusted none of his hearers would go through life as mere copyists. wa« no glory or interest in just copying some thing eomjebody else was doing. (Ap- plause.) Students, Past and Present. I Dr. arley, in his review of the year, j said among their day successes were some | which had been unexcelled in the history of the Technical College. Orio of ty, f, day students, Miss MacdonneJl. wm the j iimt in Swansea to gainber and the". had aJpo had au honour's degree in engineering—the first to be secunxl in Swansea. All latt year's rua Ie day 8tn- dents of military age were serving their •country either in the Army or in the f-hell factories. They had 602 evening j students, or :'f) per cent, less than the l previous sessic>n, when the highest num- j iiei- was recorded, viz.. 738. He was very agreeably surprised that the diminution was not very much greater. The evening continuation schools taut tfheir 89 out of ail now students who came to the college last year. This year they liwi over 100 new students from the evenisg wmtinua- tion schools. Altogether tln'y had ,.1ø.t from Swansea, and 138 from the county. The t-otal aftendaHces represented 13.3$) hours, an average of 72 hours per stu- dent. Thii was better than, any average lief ore. The previous session the average was f;6 houv3 per student.
