The Day's Gossip.
The Day's Gossip. Leader Ofjice, Tuesday. It is useless speculating on the result II of the Swansea Chamber's spirited protest to the railway companies against the irri- tating small charges for tipping ajid weighing at the docks. At Friday's meet- ing there was a disposition to tight them I to the uttermost as long as the port and trade are not damaged. The moral to be drawn here, as in the railway strike I pegotiations, 's, it seems to me, that there must be a simplification of all scales, s<- that vhat is payable is so clear!y and comprehensively dfnned that within the mrrowes( limits it is known before the t:p'ual work commences. Rats! This is Rat Week and the Morning ¡ '{,st" on the contribution of the word rat to thf English vocabulary of ecorn and abuse. "RaL" of political desertion, appears in 179J, fathered by Lord Mal- mesbury. If you have a mind to rat, rat &ans phrase." occurs in Maria Edgs- worth's Harrington." Bentham has, in the language of a modern party. Silas was a rat." Lytton, in U A1ice/' <;peal:s of a well-timed rat." From poli- < ics the term passed to 'blackleg work- men, and wn-s used of printers in 1881, a non-union composing-room being a rat- house." In its better aense of to hunt rats," rat" has newspaper authority from 1871, but mu5t be much earlier. As a frequent term of abuse acd contempt, rat in ShakcpearÐ is too familiar to require a notation. Eighteenth Century f.Iang used the word of drunks" run in by the watch. An approximation toj the later political sense (but still TM'liti- pnl) mav be found in the pamphlet of ljjfO. "Rat., Rhymed to Death, or the Rump Parlia'ment hanged up in tne Shambles." The Rat-rhyming ques- tion has a whole folk-lore literature to itself: see Rosalind 'n As You Like It." Rats to you: dates from &bout 1890. Quite Different. "Hcnv much did yo" say this was? Three and six. "That's a big price, isn't is?" Oh, no, I assure you; the urugs are very costly." "But f am a druggist myself." "Oh. you are. Well—of course— fourpcnce." A Private's Tafe. Mr. Stephen Graham has written, in A Private in the Guards," which have just published, a hook that, whether you tike it or not, you will be unabte to forget. When I was reading it, I con'inuaHy pulled my- self up with the question what purpose was served by this ruthless candour ard admission of terrible facts; but the author drove me to &oe tha-r, if we arc to hate war with a terrible aud working hatred, we must he told, by the men who soEered, how foul a thing it is. And few men can iea<! Stephen Graham's book without saying that the prepara- tion for war, the making of a disciplined armv, the htting of a man for the ordeal of battle. Is (and must be) as brutaj a thing as the actual ughting itself. You see, first of all, what the Spartan train- ing of the Guards did to a sensitive soul like Graham's. What sorrows have gone to the acceptance of things like these: "to have your ear spat into, to be marched across the parade-ground under escort, to be falsely accused be- fore an oincer and silenced when you try to speak in defence for this is what he says—this, and worse things: All these take down your pride, make you feel srnaH, and in some ways fit you to accept the role of cannon- fodder on the battle-ground. A good dsal of it could bo defended on grounds of ut'efulnes* But of tourse it <1o{'n't make a Christian army. and it's hell for the poor British soldier. Msewhere, ho says that for many the greatest ordeal was not the ncid of battle but the field of training; and I have heard scores of men say likewise. DtscipHne. 1 Our discipline was harsh, especially in the Guards; Mr. Graham gives us little I pictures of instructors and their nithy, brutal ways—few were gentlemen, hut I there were a few—that will rouse the .tnger of the civilian who has not been under army discipline. It was hard to bes-r if a man thought, if he were sen- sitive an d highly-strung: but somehow or other, in the end, he did accept it. The officers demand discipline, the X.C.O.'s enforce it. N.C.O.'s are .nuch mot'e frequently hated than are "Seers. They understand how to bully and drive and terrify and even batter soldiers into shape, but they seldom possess the personality and character through which discipline can be perfected. There, says the author, is the point here the deadlincs.s of sergcnnts mnst and the nneneM' of the cajm oScer con)es in, enabling the men to go Int-o battle as camarades de guenc. follow- 'rif! a brave leader, and net merely as 'nit'tary slaves. The Execution. I The shooting of Pri vate X for cowardice, and the curse )L,. nu'jor Y who accused him, make a hor- i-iMe str'ry, one the reader will ne-\ er fer- get. Whnt a picture that of Y, who wotiM not retent although the hint was gi\-pu him to soften things dov/n, on the I g i %ti li ri to s<)ften l? battlefield, with a mcrta! wound, so hated for his attitude to X that "no one would -it-e him a drink of water, though he kept asking for it. Some men even spat on him as they marched past." On paces' 220-221 there is a tale of a brutal deed b- a Taffy which we re- fuse to accept without more reliable evidence. A Shell Diviner. 1 Ex-soldiers who remember thei-r ex- periences whilst dicing in 'old bombing plt.g and opening old trenches which con- tained unexploded bombs and ri{lc gren- i ades. must wonder how the French and Belgian builders and farmers manage the reclamation of their country in the wa.r xonef. ProfesKor Zutton. a French scien- t'st, has invented an ir.trument known as the Zntton Scales Machine, which is able to exactly detect the resting-plaee of any unexploded shell. Electricity is the vital force used for shfll detecting. When the detector i? laid upon the ground in I the vicinity of an unexploded ,hell, the apparatus becomes excited, and a tele- phone arrangement atta-ched to it starts to ring. It is hoped in time, by means o, the detector, to gather up every one of the thousands of buried shells which failed to explode, and which a.re, while they re- main undiscovered, a menace to the agri- cultural workers and the people of tl'e rpf'reated towns which were destroyed by theHuns. J Beach Swimming Baths, j If nnancial conditions were easier, the experience of other towns with beach dimming baths would be. of much in- terest and importance to us in Swansea, in view of the powers aoughc in the 1920 ( Bill to construct one on the Sands. That at St. Anne's. I gather, cost &14,<)00. and in the year 1916. 1917 and 191 S yielded a j towl of CI,500 after meeting the mterest- on Capital. That sounds promising for a &maU place; Swansea might he expected to do much hfttcr.

BEATEN BY YOUTH.
BEATEN BY YOUTH. Ledoux s Victory Over y? it i!nscoii. The attempt of Jim Drisooll, the I former featherwe'g'ht boxing champion of the world, to come back failed. Last at the -Nat.-onal Sporting Club, he met Charles Ledoux. <yf ri-ance, in a 20- rouad content. The men W.T6 boxing at Sat. Hlbs., and although Ledoux has a.l- ways been known as a -tentam-weight, it wa,¡; no secret thatt n.t the present time h< would have great difficulty in going into the r:nrut the bantam-weight limt. On 'the fact of it. thprcfore, there was Tiot that disparity between the weights that mig'ht have been expected. In meeting Ledoux, Driscoll was tak'ng on a man 13 years his junior, ind one who in his con- tests in this country had proved himself I to be a very powerful and vigwous ashler, A DRAMANC CHANGE. I A' wonderful crowd &a.w the conteet. His hair tinned with grey Ditsooll, who is 40 years of age, stood up to his man like an old terrier watching a rat. For the nra': few rounds the crowd &a.w the DriecoU of old. The 15th round, however, sa.w a. dramahc change. Driscoll bemg in trouble tlie whole way. Fighting like a demon Ledoux slung 1,9t, and right to face a.nd body. Then in the sixteenth came the end. The men stood up, but not a blow had been struck when DriscoU's ,econds threw up tha sponge. The m<*n went on box'ng. butt Driscoll's ceeonds rushed in,o the ring and dragged the boxers apart. So the contest wen't to Ledoux, Driacoll retir.ng in the sixteenth rouDd. A glorious nght thus close d the career of the peerless Welshman. He won -fourteen round?, but was beaten by youth, and his seconds exercised a wtee discretion in pi even ting our greatest boxer for years -,in boing knocked out. ABERAVONTEAM. I The Aberavon team to oppose Lla.nelly on Saturday wul comprise:—Full-back, Lt. Hy'el Lewis; three-quarters (from), J. Ring, A. Waters. E. B. Rees, B. Mitchell. and J. 0. Da. vies; half-backs. Con Evans and W. J. Hopkins; forwards (from), W .Hopkins (capt.). Bob Ran- dall, T. Ponsford (vice-captain), Jim Jones, Geo. Mears, W. J. 'Ihomas. Dan Tohin, J. Atkinson, J. Morgan (Pylc), and P.O. Lloyd.—Umpire: Mr. E. J Morris. CARD)FF'S MATCH WITH NEATH. The Cardiff side to oppose Neath will comprise:—Full-b:M'k, A. N. Other; three-quarters, Wick Po-.vell. Arthur Cornish, T. Afney, and C. Bryant (r&- serve, Dr .Wallace); half-backs, E. Cas- well and J. Coghlan; forwards, Frank Gaccon (capt.), W. Jenkins, Brookmaji. Dalrymple. Crad Rces, D. Callan., W. Cornish, and Prosser (reserve, N. D&vid). BAYCUFFE UNLUCKY. j BayclHie had exceedingly hard lines in ¡lheil' match wiUi Gendros last Saturday. nhen they lost by a single point. In the iirst half T. Johns dropped a clever goal for the homo&ters, and one of the forwards notched a try. 'Upon the change of ends, however, the Bays' pack quite dominated the situation, and their new centre, Lenncn, scored two purely individualist, electrifying tries. Gendros" victory was hardty deserved, and a few minutes' more play would have saen them more or less I outclassed. After all, two tries is a better score than a goal and try at any time. Still, now that tbo BaycliS'e pact, has b<-en strengthened, and they are heeling cleanly, a victorious career should be ahead. !ABERAVON HARLEQUINS. I While Abcravon town team MI to Neath on Saturday, the Aheravon Earle- qninH retrieved the fortunes of the ancient borough by defeating the United on the Sandnelds ground by the only try of tho gamo. Abpravon W!utcs journeyed to Kenng Hil!, and men of the Whites knocked out-the must have been a strenuous one. KenGg Hin woe !'t 14 points to four. The C.Y.M.S. and Taibach drow with a try each. A HEAVY DEFEAT. Port Talbot Y.M.C.A. junior team made the journey to Eenng Hill on Satur- day, hut were defeated by 6—0. The Kenfl,g Hill tenm is acknowledged a stiff propo?ittOTi, and th<*y had folded a strong side. The Y.M .C.A. is a young* side in years, and has only recently been formed. A senior team liac, been formed, and Mr. 3. Grov.?-rtace, Port. Talho.r. the peci'(tnry, will be glad to hear of Sxtures. D!SAPPO!NT)NG. Judged from inany standpoints, the ?a'me p!ay<d between Pont.:nlÎu!ais and Ll,im- a'ennech wa'< d-isappoSntinp to &ay the least, To bepin with, Ponta.rdula,is certainly did not deserve to lose. and the validity of one of the Lta.ns€nnech scores was doubtful in the pxtreice. The visitors brought off a. couple of nice pa,sain? bouts, but ou the general run of the play they 'were out- classed. The Ponty forwards again played splendidly, with Eddie JonM and Arthur DaTies outctandiKg in merit. The halves .a,-ai,n disappointed, and the threes could improve. The try by Fred G. PhiIIips, how- ever, wM splendidly manoeuvred. The homo&tere (Pontardulais) were without their ora&k cust/odia-Yi, Joe Davies. though Ed<e Da.vieg made a fair show, under the circum- -d:<i.ncee. LIa,ngeunech won by eight points to three. Jfext Saturday Pontardula.ie play Tom Mor,ans-beg pardon. Hendy—a.wa,y, and a rare tussle and a. record crowd c<Mi be expected. On form, the boys of Shir Gaer ought to conic out on top, but it is never t3"fe to pTOphccy. I F 0 U HI Hlt::s I U NIt. I The return. ma.tcn between Wree,-in-on Boys a.nd Gowerton Boys was played on Saturday at the Park, Goreeinon, when the home team wen by four tries to nil. It waa a very keen7iy contested &name, well fought out in thp beet of spirit. T)ie scorera were: MLthiaf- Glyn Jones. W. G. Morga.n, a.nd White. The try scored by Glyn Jcnes waa a reminiscence of DT. Eddie-'e days. He received the ball about, the haif-wa.y line, when he tnade for hie opponents' line. running cleYcrJy through quite eight or nine men, swerving and twisting. They could not hold him. It was a clever try, but .hi& kick for goal faiied.

AMUSEMENTS. -1 Reund the Swansea Picture Ha'!s and TheatrM. EMPtRE. I Hustle," the short revue staged at the Empire this week. is poor in parts, but h has so many scintillating, humorous passages that as a whole the production must be voted a success. The theme is certainly topical, and incidentally it ad- vertises one of the best known of the isms offered the public to-day. A. W. Baskcomb is the particular express man who in his own inimitable style endea- vours in a hopeless manner to become a bustler—o. perhaps it wouM be better to say a hustler." He fails so gloriously aa to send the house into paroxyms of laughter. His humour is of the subtle type. and he is the great success of the evening. Montague Golding (Alan Slack) has such a rich and powerful voice that one wonders why he does not get a few more numbers. If that were done it would enhance the success of the piece. In the last scene Miss Beryl Deane and a chorus are responsible for one of the best concerted items wo have heard in a revue for some time. The blending of the voices hpre is really good. The remainder of the company, too, are good. The Terry Twins, Jack Thomas, and Phil and Phlora complete the bill. GRAND THEATRE. I The question of wither opera is ap- preciated in Swansea should be amply settled for any sceptic who visits the Grand Theatre this week. For the open- ing performance last night there was a packed house, and bookings for The re- mainder of the week is also very heavy. This is as it should be, for the Royal Carl Rosa Opera Co. merits every support. In addition to brilliant principals, there ie that rarity among touring opera com- panies-a really fine chorus, while the or- chestra is indeed excellent. On Monday night the week's programme commenced* with Offenbach's delightful Tales of Hofrman," and the piece, which is by no means atrange to Swansea, was most en- thusiastically received. Mr. Albert Bond, who sang the exacting part of Honman. early gave evidence that he is the pos- sessor of a tenor voice of great purity, and tha.t, moreover, he knows how to nee it to fhe best advantage. His role is a long and trying one, but throughout the three Tales his ringing was of the high- est quality; indeed, he was heard to best advantage in the Third Tale, which makes the greatest demand on the chief singer. The triple parts of Coppelhie, Dapertutto, and Dr. Miracle, the evil genius of the opera, were splendidly sung by Mr. Albert Kirkman and Mr. Henry Hardy—two bassos of great artistic and dramatic ekill. Mr. Kirkman's recdsr- mg of the Mirror Song in the Second Tale was very iine. The chief female parts were sung by Mesdames Eda Benni aad tna Hill. Miss Benni wag heard as Olympia, the magic doll, and as Antonia, the consumptive singer. Two more diner- ent parts it would be dimcult to imagine, hilt she wag superb m each. Madame laa 11111 as Giulietta, gave a most finished per- formance. The part of Nicklaas, the friend of Mon'man, was beautifully sung by Miss Constance Willie, who is also a 6ne actr&M. Other membere of the com- pany who gave most nnished interpreta- tions were Mies Ethel Freegarde, and Messrs. Feltis Eegan. Giuseppe Barberia. Booth Hitchen, and Harry Brindle. It is of interest to note that another of the Carl Rosa companies is this week at CardiN, and artistee are being inter- changed. On Wednesday night Mr. W. Bola-nd, who is well-known in Swansea, will come from Cardiff to sing the part of Don Cesar de Bazan in Marit&na. THE ELYStUM. I Should one want to langh at the pic- t'ares flii-, week, a vicit to the Etysium to &ee Madge Kennedy in Ii Friend Hua- hand would give plenty of cMso. As a comedy drama it is absoIuteTy the goods, telling the tale of a pretty youngs girt whoso head is crammed with remarkable ideas of marriage, etc. Unfortunately, abe is loft a large legacy, on condition that she marries, and her efforts are therefore centred on a marriage of oon- vfnience. Unfortunately, friend husband refuses to do the parting trick a.fter the oeremony, Ho that there are complica- tions. In the Tion's Den" is a good dramatic subject, and on the humorous side are A Safe Disaster" and Bluffing Father. Eddie Polo in the Circus mnt? is to be seen. On Thursday, the <tar picture will be Her Heritage," rather an unique production in that it features that famous London dancer, Phillys Monkman, with a West End cast. THEATRE ROYAL. I Once more the pajtrons of the Royal Theatre were treated to a perfect pro- gramme on Monday n;gM, Trhen the two chief dtems on the Hat: provided an ad- mirable entertainment in themeelvM. The beautiful and fascinating Pauline Frederick figured in the sta/r picture, a.nd she made extraordinary use of a strenuous and dimcult part. The play was Ttie Fear Woman," and the story is one of the meat dramatic filmed for a long t!me. It contains some scenes where the audi- ence become well nigh broeukhlps6 at the .i'D'tenity of the c.cting. and in thie con- nection a good word must be M.d lor the splendid support afforded her by the reef of the cajst. Miss Frederick &till remains in t'he vanguard of our most brilliant emotLonal actreeees. The Japanese aren- iue, Sessue Hayakawa, is ably supported by his wif in a photo-play with an unique plot. entitled, City of Dim Faœs." The picture M a very creditable producft.ion. The cyclonic eerial con- tinuee in popularity, and Episode 10 it a. clever patrt. The Sun Message. Chester Conklin in the Triangle Keystone comedy. Villa of the Movi<-s/* and the usual topical &bus com-plete a Sntt W.,e biiL < CASTLE C!NEMA. ) me programme lor the nrst mree d&ys of the week at the Castle Cinema is particularly good especially the nrst feature, Boston Billie's Little Pal," in which Mr. Bert Lytele, an actor of con- summate ability, shares the honours with little Joey Jacobs, a, clever child a.ctor, whose familiar face is welI-Lnowu to picture-gcers. The story is intensely I interesting, as is that of The St,inl-,e Adventure." in which the powerful actor 'I Aurele Sidney (Ultus) is the outstanding ngure. His escape from pris'Ûll m a cage of lions is one of the most exciting I scenes imaginable. A nrst-class comedy, Huns and Hyphens," and a clever Mutt and Jeff cartoon was immensely enjoyed. CARLTON. Crowded audiences attended the Ca.rl- t,on on Monday, where Sporting Life," the greatest of all Drury Lan% dramas, I.< being portrayed. As may be judged from the title, it is ÐSsentially a picture j' of sport—eport in all its truest and best forms-and judging from the vociferous cheers which emanated from the junior element, it is a film which appeals strongly to Hie younger folk. While the Derby was being featured, the excite- ment was intense; in fact, excitement a.nd romance reign throughout the story. The scenery, too, is exquisite. One can always enjoy a Walker comedy, for they a.re genuinely humorous, and Beware of .Borders" is the very best of its kind. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, EpMode 12 of the popu!a.r aerial, U Hands tip," will be shown. PICTURE HOUSE. The charming actress Pauline Frede- rick is to be seen at the popular Picture House, High-street, during the nrst part of the week. She is seen in Hall Caine's great drama, "The Eternal City," which was responsible for crowded houses on Monday. Pauline Frederick's acting is all that is to be de- sired. and she is supported by a clever cast. The scenes were produced in Italy and England. Another star production is "Woman's Weapons," a picture full of smiles and clever acting, and featur- ing the general favourite Ethel Clayton. The production is screened in four parts, and is a nim not to be missed. Episode 8 of the great serial, A Fight for Millions," Marvels of the Universe," and Pathe's Gazette" complete an excellent entertainment. Thursday will see the screening of Quicksands," a drama, featuring Dorothy Dalton.
