IDEAL USE OF LAND. I AN INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE BY I PROFESSOR JEVONS. On Friday, before a large audience, Prof. Stanley Jevons, of Cardiff, de- livered a most interesting and instruc- tive lecture at Mond Buildings on "A National Land and Housing Policy," Mr. D. J. Thomas, the chairman of the local branch of the League of Young Liberals, presiding. Main Uses of Land. Mr. Jevons, at the outset, explained thlt there were three main uses for land (1) for the erection of houses, (2) for the erection of factories, and (3) for the provision of means oi communication in the shape of roads, canals, and rail- ways. He emphasised the terrible evi?  which existed as a result of slums, owing to the Jack of room and air. The first garden city to be brought i*lit ol existence was that established by Messrs. Cad bury who, realising that if their employes were hotised amid better surroundings, they would get better results from their TaTiour, rcmoved thèir I works from Birmingham to Bournville. This eXalupJü was followed by Messrs. Lever Bros., who transferred their soap making industry from Warrington to Port Sunlight, with similarly bene- ficial results. Ideal Town planning. The lecturer enumerated the cardinal priitcipiies of town planning as laid down by Mr. Ebenezer Howard in 1118 epoch-making book on the subject, urging, amongst other tilings, that the ideal town should be plaited from the commencement; that there oliould not l)¡<') mors than 12 hOU¡i-2S to an acre; that the town should be surrounded by a. bettof agricultural land so that it could not grow beyond a certain size,; that it should be industrial M woti as residential, so that it might be ",far as possible, self-contained^ that the dividend on the capital expcnde>d should be limited to 5 per cent., so that any surplus could be dev-oted to the reducing or rates or to some charitable purpose. In the case of Letchworth, it expoctdthat the r.i.tev-, would be, in a taw year6, not more than 2s. in the £ Pictures were displayed of slutti pra- perties that formedy existed on the Sresent Port Sunlight estate, but which have I?en p?icd down in order to n?ke room for model dwellings, and afco views of Bournville, letchworth, and the EaJicg and Hamf)tstead garden suburbs. In the case of one of thffiC explained that the land originally required for garden suburb purpose*, was obtained at £ 200 an acre. For the &eeond lot required for extension something like IZOO an acre had to be paid, and for a thsrd lot, double the latter sum. In order to obviate this difficulty, liefiig-gmted that the wiser course woul d he in planning towns, to take a Nufficieiitiy, large area of land in the first instance. National Aspect. I Dealing with the national aspect of the question, Profesor Jerons referred to the fact that Mr. It unci man had now taken up the matter, and the pro- posals of the Government (o erect 60,000 I nouaos, with interchangable parts, which would ena blo thein to be built cheaper than if they were put up singly under the present try.stem. ) In this connection, lw fmggestd that. the Government might further faeili-' tate the solution of tlao housing problem of arranging to grant loons. of from 80, to So per cent, of the full value of 'the j property, and to extend the period ai-l lowed for the repayment of the money. On the motion, Mr. Hie hard Marti u, seconded by Mr. Gwilym Morgan, Prof. Jevons waa wrdially thanked for hie lecture,

THE DANGER OF I INDIGESTION. Indigestion is a very real danger, a I menace to your health and strength. It robs you of the nourishment you should obtain from the food you eat; it loads the system with impurities, that find their way into-the blood, causing hfmd-I aches, languor, and blotchy skin. Cer- tainly you can't afford to ignore indi- gestion. It won't Jet you, in any You will, therefore, bo well advised to take an occasional dose of Mother Siegel's Syrup, the great remedy for the common ailments of the, stomach, liver, and bowels. There is nothing better for indigestion, or for bilious- ness, constipation, lfatulence, head- aches, and pains after eating. Not only does Mother Seigel's Syrup speedily banish the symptoms of I impaired cligestion, giit it keeps them away altogether.

CURE OF SOULS." I SOME RECENT TRANSACTIONS IN I AOVOWSQNS. (By W. M. 4. Williams.) TliE market for livings has been I famous for a long time. Time was when it was carried forward with greater publicity than is the cSfce to-day; but at all times there was a pleiitaul lack of the odour of sanctity about the transactions. The public to- day is only too ready to assume that this marketing is a practice of bygone days, whereas the fact is that there is a steady traffic: in livings, and many have "a property" in the "cure of .?ouis," whwh they buy and sell accord- i ing to their wants or needs. It must be confessed that the chief pastors of the church discourage the»e m and ana transactions which are redolent of the njarket rather than of the altar. A St. David's Diacssc instance. People in South Wales will ho interested in a specimen or two ot recent transactions in "4dvoA--soils." in the proprset-onship of livings, as I distinguighed from a right to the "next presentation," which io sometimes .sold separately. Here are two isuch trans;w;- tions, one from the diocese of St." :Q,ayid'Sl the other from Llandaff. The advowson of Kglwyei^ch in the diocese of St. David's was on the 15 Juiy, 1903 (registeretl on li June. 1910) transferred by two gentlemen, by Burnmiie Paddock, living: at tiauiey in Btaffordehirc, and Mobs, Herefordshire, respectively, to iNLr. J,ts. Barry Tauuton. of Brynellen, Borth, Uar- diganehire He in turn registered on the 18 Jane, 1910, a tracker of the same ad. I voweon which had been made on the 27 of ma4 Af,? oil the ?7 of the previous April. through Messrs. Smith and Wood, solicitors, of NewhaU end Waterlog streets, Birmingham, respectively, whose possession of this advuwsou is t.ot diacloaed as regards origin. Their transfer was to Mr. 'Ptios. Oliver Crosa, of Peel Hail. Aatley, Lanc.; but oil the same IS June, -310, there was i*gigi«red a transfer of the 24 June previoua, by which Mr. Cross re- transferred to the solicitors residing in Birmingham thie ts^lf-t-auie advowtton uf ilie "cure of soiiim" ill the pari&h of Eglw.vKfae.h, arli it is added that this las:L trwiael. to the *fol ieitore was bjr way of mortgage."

All this time the people whose spiritual cure is the subject in hand ostensibly are quite innocent of any knowledge of these things, and this Erastian ^Istablislunent regards them, indeed, as a flock; but a flock of sheep, to be driven by any shepherd the owner of the ad vow son may select, dependent only on institution by the ortjinary," the bishop of the diocese. i The cure of gouls," The announee- ment that the Rev —— has been selected for the cure of souls in such a parish! No, as long as advowsons and presentations are regarded as pri- vate property there will be dissatisfac- tion in connexion with theee things. It is felt, and felt keenly, by very many devout C'hurchpeople, as well as others, that such a state of things should be hurried to an end. Effect of Disestablishment. Whatever the issue, ultimately of a Disestahlishment Bill, it should bring stiell a practice as tlii4,, the market in a cure of soule, whether in public or in private, to a speedy end. That Vis- count St. Aldwyn, who is here shown to be 11, party to a transfer of an advowson, in five steps, should be the champion of Church things as they ,are in Wales, is an ironic and eloquent fact! -y-E -r -J'

SALE TIME. I CIRLS AND HOME DRESSING. Most people have already laid in a which were offered in the January sales. How one'* pin money does hralt away, to bo sure, at sale seasons-—j.ust like ico j n tho sun. There aio so many thing#* one wants, and no soonej- lias one bargain been captured, than another, seeming even more de&irable, catches, the eye. I have OHC111 wondered how much the average woman would spend at a sale, given an unlimited purse.^ However, such good fortune is reserved for a favoured few, and for the viu-t majority there must be a more or less dehuito limit to the ex- penditure. And since we esanuot have all we wfnt—which is, after all, a very good tli ing for its—the lxwt and only M ay is to our exche<iuoi' go a8 far as ever it "ill, and phil<»^>phioaily make up our minds to do Avit-hout the things we need the least.

Bargains Still Waiting. Those who went early to the sales naturally had the pick of the market, and doubtless made good use of their opportunities, but though the demand at the various leading emporiums has t beet] very heavy indeed, it must not be supposed that all tho bargains have been snapped up. This ÍiR yeay tar from being the oa.se, a, a personal inspection has proved. There are still many things well worth having to be had at the sac- reficial prices common to sal<*i, but I should certainly advise those who have not yet pro-sited by tho.se openings, to lose 110 moro time 111 doing so, for they have little time left, and ftuther delay can only spell disappointment, A Question of Industry. Lo tho modern girl lose industrious thun her mother or grandmother? I heard tho question raised the other day and while one champion of the 20th century maiden pointed out h<*r acti- vity in the husfim\s world, an opponent complained that in the home she was far less industrious than the women of the previous ^feneration. Miss 1914, it was urged, aid not care for domestic duties, she eould not bake, she would not sew she cared more for dances and roller skating, and pieturo show^ than for domestic aoconipfehmcnta admired in days gone by, and so on and so forth. Personally I think the condemnation for too sweeping. Girls in business, in particular, naturally 1't?uitc some r?- laxation after A hard day's work, but nevertheless I know many—and girls oi independent means too--who are -is hainly the house as any woman could possibly be But there is one respect p wbeh I do not think many modern girls do themselves an injustice and that i" in iKiglwtiug mvtural gifts, such for instance, w-3 4 taletit. for dress- I? 111,9 01' n i -y, or Fonic o-?itor, ,'nil,kill.Z 0,1' mill;nel'Y'or wmc u limi?:i ?.r<???

THREE MODELS. I FASHIONS FOR CHILDREN. I The patterns I have selected this week are of a varied character, and both on this account and because of their indi- rdual attractivenefsS, I am quite sure that my readers will And them particu- larly welcome. First, there is the warm kimono wrapiw which is really a pretty model of its kind its one could wish to see. These wraps are both useful and dressy, and as will be seen by one ghwice at tho sketch the making of the on in question will not tax too severely either one's time or one's pocket. It is cut oil the popular one piece lines, so that every one ot my readers would be able to re- produce it successfully. It is a mqpt straightforward garment to put together, it hangs straight from the shoulders in ].-)(>f.>e clinging folds, the fulness being caught in at tho waist by means of a ,ISii of the i-iinie colour. Binds of plain materia I of the same shade as the gown or of a pretty oon- trasting colour are placed round the edges, giving the simple wrap a most fascinating appearance. o iv that the stales are on, it i? ea,-y to buy tasteful materials admirably suik'd to the purpose quite inexpen- ? lively, ?mon.? the many suitable wateriak I might Uh'utuon c.?hmej'e. thin cloth, /iguned or striped flannelette, Aza. and Viyella fabrics. The last two mentioned materials I can eonlidently recommend if you wish to obtain the very best results, both as regards ap- pearance and wear. Any drajK'r.s can show you a list of varied samples of these excellent fabrics. A dressing gown of this type would prov.) a most useful addition to the wardiobe, particularly when one is on a visit. A Dainty Camisole. To the womnll of taste and rehnemer.t underMear is quite as important a con- sideration as th ose ijarmeuts which cxnne before the eye of a ei-it-ical world. She would ag soon think of wearing a i rock hopelessly shabby and out-of-date as of tolerating underclothing that did not conform to accepted standards. The camisole here shown is one of the latest and most fascinating models, and will more tluin repay the little lime involved in making. It has obviously been de- signed for comfort, while at tho same time appearance has bepu duly con- .sidere d* The smart and dainty effect of the yoke is heightened by the neat and pretty boys of soft delicately tinted satin ribbrn ami lace edged short sleeves. You will doubtless have on haijd innumerable lengths of oambrie, nainsook, longeloth, etc., from tho ix1- or-nt sale shopping expeditions, in which to reproduce such a little oami- Only 1J yards of Stiin. material in needi cl in the making. A small scjuaro of piece lace for the charmingly shaped yoke ami a little lace edging Mid lead- ing is all that is needed to complete the camisole. I do not think any WomaJl who knows how to use her needle could do better than make this service-able garment up. It would certainly bo a very economical Mvheme to reproduce it in a number of different materials, for instanoe, jap silk, very thia nainsook, etc. best Mear, and oambrie, long- oloth, and other materials of a more durable texture for otdinary everyday wear « In costume coats we have (his winter some important novelties. They are mostly affairs of cut, and therefore merit our fctrietest attention. The fashionable world has growtj tired of the simple panel-back and frünt style*, and we may have very many deviations from this type--one may ajuitist aifirm ttut-t the original has sunkan into insignific- ance. This, of eourwe, appl»e« &h,> to ,skirv>, and, iiddeed to All d?pm't- io 6kir?s, -whic-b p?nf? ?ujrod. The latest novelties in cut are, Wovr- over, not far removed in the main from the ideas which gave tlvwili liirta; we may trace the panol t3n; but it has been converted from its rigid .simplicity j ?to Honiethintf COl' t?m-H?tic. j Were it is exUmdedTVto form scallop* there a. corner is ,ut right away to leave space for an iu-sov or for an ext-en- *ion of another part the garment, a variety of seams bein at tlie present monient considered a vdosirable orna- ment. x Fashicnable Trimmings, Now I come to mention adornments, it will not be out of place to^ give here a few notes on. the mosc popular trim- mings of the season. To say that the latest models are very "simple Mould lie very wide of the mark, yet to dfvseirbe them as the contrary gives my readers a. very poor impression of the real aspect of the prevailing modes. In the development, the latest •styles certainly present more difficulties than did these of la.st sea-son, and the cutting, as above mentioned, is more elaborate, but. a certain dignity and fit- ness, which is most admirable, prevails in all garments, of really good style. Vhe new 1ttem.s, elegant though they are, display much that i& artistic, whilst at?e, dl?,?p'izty niuch tltat artistic, wbil-st isepai-ii,t,c? iire Practical Nightdress. Children's fa-shions seem to be grow- ing prettier and more serviceable than; ever, xi-hetliei, Gne frocks, hats, or underwear. Sometimes, of course, one comes across a style that is simply grotesque or absurdly ornate, but for the must part the bounds of common .-sense are ve,y observed, and art is seldom sacrifiecd to ecceai- tricity. It i.s true. of course, that iiii-ni, t children'^ garmeat-s aa-e pretty rathyr than strictly practical, but there is no; reason why the two qualities should not I be combined with complete success. Take, for instance the- girl's nightdress which I have had reproduced in this week's sketch. It could scarcely be daintier in design, yet it will be found of a thoroughly practical kind. The material hangs straight from the shoulders with no troublesome yoke-s to arrange, and the neat little turn-down collar, edged with Lace of embroidery toj match the trimming in front, complete* j the ivhole. .Uest mothers have discovered to their cost that exceptionally strong materials, are neoestary for the making or children' undeigarments if they are to withstand the wear and tear for any length of time, aud on this account I particularly advise the u-se of those fabrics produced by Horrockses, the well known manufacturers of cotton and flannelette good, Their strong, closejy woven flannelette, fine long- cloths and madopolanis are universally recognised, and the prices; are within the reach of every purse. I can assure every one of my readers that they will not regret giving thelu a trial.

THE FREE CHURCH COUNCIL.. I Further Protest Against Visit of i Jack Johnson. A meeting of the Swansea i-ref Church Council Executive Committer was held at St. Paul's Schoolroom ou Friday, under the chairmanship of th< Rev. Gilbert Roo. The most important matter under discussion was tae attitude which it was thought the Free Churches should adopt with reference to the proposed visit to Swansea of Jack Johnson, the Americari coloured pugilist. The Executive eventually unanimously passed a resolution commending the attitude of the Swansea Watch Commit- tee. snd as it was thought that definite action on their part was essential. A depu tatioll wa appointed to wait on the I local representatives of the Glamorgan County Territorial Association.
