When a. proteat wa& lodged with the War Food Dis- tribution Department the authorities de- clared that no proceedings for food usury could be instituted, as the place of origin of the potatoes ivg6s not, known. In the afternoon of the same day the price paid for potatoes had reached 2e 1)M. per Ib It.now remains to'be aeen whether the t'ood Department will fail to regard this, too. as ft case of usury.

IWORRIES OF OUR GUARDIANS.
I WORRIES OF OUR GUARDIANS. THE CASE OF TWO SWANSEA WOMEN. GIRL AGAIN ESCAPES FROM TAWEOOOE. On Wedzeaday at Swansea. Tawe Lodge Visiting Committee (741-. Alf Gcor&e presid- ing), the oaM of a youns ?ir!, p"evioufly re- ported. came up for discussion. Ths cirl had once acain abeented herself, and waa abaent from the inatitution for part of 'two days, and had epcnt part of the tinM at the docks. Rer. E. 0. Evans aaid it seemed quite easy to make an exit from tile iBotatjon Mock. which theM girls frequently did, and he sug- gest-ed that something ghould be doae to prevent it. On Monday evening the OmJUl under diecuaeion. had been a&pn at the docks in company with a, petty-omccr. Mr. Peacock stated that fhe had Tisited one of his establishments on the Sands, and had apent money there freely, buying amongst other things five frlasse.s of milk and Me- cream, and ehe was diøtributing photo- graphs of herwetf (one of which was &hoT.n to the committee). Pr. Stepbene said such a person -would con- taminate, &nd moved she be prosecuted, as they muat protect their ofBc,r4 -Th- Waster aakod, if she absconded again, whether he wae justified in refuaing her re- admittance, and was told he Blight, &nd to hand her over to the police. Mr. Rundle said he had a list of boats (and men) where girls stayed all the time while they were in Swansea. A Guardian: Why don't you give it to the police ? Cuardtan and the Puttee. Mr. Bundle: Tha police would take no notice of it. 3fr. Peacock moved that if the girl repc&ted the oBence she should be prosecuted, Ultimately a suggestion by the Rer. E. 0. Evans waa that the matter be &?a.in refe¥ed to the magistrates' clerk with a view to proseouting, and this was c:¡,rri-t;d unaui- mously. Another Feminine PfeMent. In the ca.ee of an inmate who had been con- victed for drunkenness previously twenty times, and would not conform to discipline in the institution, it was said her husband was in Preston.—It was moved that enquiries be made as to her settlement. The Master said she gave trouble con- tmujilly, and took the law into her own hands, carrying her apportioned nreal away with her out of the dining hall to augment with "dainties" which she gets hej'self. She had defied an attendant and made a- scene. In such cases the Master asked the com- mittee to support him so as to maintain dis- cipline in the Houee. Mr. Rundle: This woman hAf! bean bound over for six months to keep the læa.oe. ioUld if she violates can jmmedi&tely be trans- ferred to the magistrates. The Chairman (to tho woman): You should consider this and behave yonj'telf witHe in the institution The W Oluan: I aja aorry I evot .ow Wal" ?* its L, I- Gha-irman: If you are not atttitned you cttn dischars'e yourself. Mr. Meredith: If you find your way out of Swansea, I am sure we will not aend for you back. Accusations brought against am attendant by her in a quarrel WM'e proved to be un- founded. Mr. George asked if there was any further suggestion to make. Mr. Meredith aeked what was gained by thepe interviews with people lik6 that with endless questions.
