The Day's Gossip. I I
The Day's Gossip. I I Leader" Office, Friday. Dyfnallt and his co-adjudicators must have been in a desperate hurry when they wrote their findings on the drama week. Dyfnallt is a pedantic Welshman, a particularist of the first degree; and to see him accepting 6uch Chino-Welsh as "spwylio and actio," and to note the failure to devise Welsh equivalents for make up," for matteT of fact," for "tragedy," for "reality," and for stifi," is to wonder whether the Car- marthen bard was in a very Welsh mood when he penned the adj udication. A wicked friend of mine suggests to me that Carmarthen town's Welsh is uncon- sciously corrupting Dyfnallffe style. Castle Ward. Mr. Abe Freedman is assured of suc- cess, so I am inf.mned-lf there is a full poll. As an example of good sportsman- ship, Mr. Pugsley Gwynne's action is notable. He withdrew, for the purpose of securing a straight fight; but he with- drew not grumpily but with the inten- tion of giving Mr. Freedman all the assistance he could. He went to his first working committee, and threw in all his weight. Brave, Pugsley! Memories. Looking up an old "Leader" file a day or two ago I came across, many items which recalled thb "good old days." Here are some of the items: Pea-fed hams, 6.1d. per Jb.; cheese, 6d. per lb.; jam, 31d .per lb. sultanas, 2cl. per lb. butter, Is. per lb. In another part of the paper I came across an advertise- ment for boots and shoes—16s. 9d. and 12s. 9d. respectively. And iu yet another corner of that day's issue of the Leader I noticed a number of houses in the best residential parts oi the town advertised as To let with immediate possession." When, if ever, will we see such times again? The Sixth's XV. Lieut. Bland, iu his Sixtp Welsh memories, tells us about the battalion's Rugby football feats. Colonel Carleton used to lead the pack, and then there wer Captain R. C. Lindsay Brabazon, the adjutant, who would havo been heard much of in Welsh JRugby foot- ball had he given time to the game; I Captain Dai Morgan, of Newchurch, Car- marthen, who took his sporting spirit to the trench-he was a brave othcer-and Lie-nt. J. W. Robinson, London. Then there was Jerram, a sergeant, who would have been capped for Wales when playing for Swansea had he not joined the Northern Union just before the war; Captain J. T. Da vies, brother to the Pvev. Alban Davies, the Welsh international fopward; Lieut. Buckland, of Swansea, and the imperturbable Lieut. Arthur Lidgey, Llanelly-indeed the team was splendidly balanoed. Our Ultra-Modernists. I The diarist of the Westminster Gazette," in observations on the Moun- tain Ash project, says:—So the new or- ganisation intends to exclude all the works of the classical composers, British and foreign, of the past, and no com- poser anterior to the period of Hugo Wolf is to be allowed in its programmes. it is an ambitious venture, but I fancy the hold on the Welsh people of Handel, Mendeksohn, Beethoven, and the rest of the musical giants is too strong to be easily shaken, and I shall be surprised if the up-to-date harmonies of the ultra- modern makers of music attract to Moun- tain Ash the huge crowds which annually make their pilgrimage to the Eistedafodau. The Mad Major." I Can anyone say what has become of the mad major whose exploits in the Ypres area daring 1915 and in the Soinme campaign of 1910 made him so famous throughout the Service? Speaking to officers and men of the later armies of '17 and '18, a brother gossip says that he finds that the major is regarded as a legend, and, although his reported feats rouge interest, not much credence is given to the tales about b im. "Tha mad major was a real live person, rumoured to be 'I n officer in the Artillery, and one of his favour! to tricks wati to fly about 50ft. over the Hun lines while friend Fritz peppered him with shrapnel and ball cartridge. The second part of his programme would be carried out just over Ypres. where he would dive and manoeuvre among the ruins and just over the town, while Ger- man shells exploded unpleasantly near his machine, heedless to say this last act was not popular with our men in reserve on the canal bank. Augustus John. I Those who believe in the gemu6 of Augustus John, our great Welsh painter, are sure to look into the Chenil Galleries and once again examine the 125 etchings, many of them Rembrandtesque and some of them crude, which appear on the walls. Only four have not been exhibited elsewhere. They are exquisite studies of a Girl's Head," and make an interes- ting comparison with his industry with needle and copper 15 years ago. John is the most talked about product of con- temporary CheLsea. not because he shares witft his friend Epstein the reputation of being the perfect Bohemian, but because of the amazing extent of his influence on English artists and collectors. John is eqtially at home whether in pure etching, in designing huge friezes for the Domin- ion Parliament at Ottawa, or in a' I tempting a. portrait masterpiece 01 a Prime Minister. I recall his Swansea ex- hibition; and the amazement of the aver- age man—and I include myself—at the paintings. Augustus John is an acquired taste. Old Wells. -1 In the little Gower villag with their pretty greens, there are much-treasured spots to which the villager alludes with deep reverence, the Old Wells, walled in by great stones worn and moss covered. These have been the places to which, for many years, the Gower maiden has re- paired with heavy jug for that necessity of village life—water. But when thirsty, to kneel upon the slab and carry to the lips in the cup of your hands its cool, crystal waters, is to quaff nectar at the fountain of the gods. They are, too, the rendezvous of gossip, for in the late after- noon how many women folk seem to find it necessary to make an extra journey for water and spend a few quiet minutes dis- cussing village affairs. The Glow-worm. I Walking after dark this autumn be- tween Llangammarch and Llanwrtyd, I noted that the hedgerows were sprinkled with glow-worms, shining softly in the night. We carried one with us. in it, match-box. to our lodging, I ut ne\i day, alas, the power had been cut off-the light was gone. The experience has in- terested me in the remark of a scientist that only about 2 per cent. of the energy of most illuminants emerges as light, the rest being wasted as unnecessary heat; in the case of the electric arc the light output is as high as 4 per cent. Science has not yet solved the secret of the glow- worm, whose cold light represents 98 per cent, of the energy producing it. and who has all our twentieth century lighting exports bsataB to a trazzlo. u

I The usual weekly meeting of Bethel (C.M.) Church Sunday School Guild, was held on Thursday evening, when Mr. Morgan Williams gave a paper on Character." The chair was occupied by Mr. J. G. Davies. During the evening a solo was rendered by Miss Miriam Rob- erts. Mies May Sparkes accompanied. TREBOETH. j A very enjoyable evening was spent at the Treboeth Public Hall (branch of St. Paul's Church, Landore) on Thursday evening, when a magic lantern entertain- ment was given, the children being de- lighted. The Rev. B. Evans (Landore) acted as speaker, while Mr. W. Johnson was the manipulator. CLYDACH. I At this week's meeting of the Clydach branch of the N .F.D.D.ti.S.. a cheque for Id. was received from Mr. Thoe. Williams, treasurer of the Clydach Peace Celebrations Committee, the balance over after the celebrations. The Federation wished to thank publicly the Peace Cele- brations Committee, of which Mr. W. J. Percy Player, J.P., was chairman. I KINGS BRIDGE. I The death of Mrs. Maggie Jones, Aig- burth, Mason's-road, occurred on Tuoscuiy last, at her residence, through severe ill- ness. The deceased lady was a faithful member of Libanus (C.M.) Chapel, Gor- seinon, and she will be buried at Libanus (C.M.) Chapel, Hendy, Pontardulais, on Saturday next, to start from the house at 1.30 o'clock prompt. CWMLLYNFELL. I Un Wednesday evening the death oc- curred of Mrs. Davies, wife of Mr. Thos Davies, Crugfryn, Ystradowen. She had enjoyed usual health up to Monday night, when she was seized with a paralytic stroke, from which she did not regain consciousness. Deceased was about 50 years of age, and an active member of Brynllynfell C.M. Chapel, where her hus- band is also a deacon. She is survived by her husband, two sons. and a daughter. I LLAMDOVERY. j Death lias removed another of TIan- I dovery's oldest inhabitants in the person of Mr. Rees Evans, Forest View, Stone- street. In conj unction with his late wife deceased for many years carried on a confectionery business in Stone-street. The war dealt him a severe blow, which undoubtedly shortened his days. His two sons, Messrs. Dd. Rice Evans and Gwilym Evans, both of whom volunteered for service, were killed in France. Deceased was a useful and prominent member of the Tabernacle (C.M.) Church, where his demise will be greatly deplored. AMMANFORD. I There is yet a possibility of the Am- manford Urban Council embarking on a housing scheme. The Housing Commit- tee have met, and have, been influenced, to some extent, by certain statements made to them by an official of the Min- istry of Health, so that the report which they will present to the next meeting of the Council will, it is understood, run on favourable lines. A full-dress debate is sure to result on the advisability of undertak .t, a scheme oi the kind, at a time when the 68werage scheme, and other important projects affecting public health, are pressing on the attention of the Council., KILLAY. A further meeting in connection with the Army Hut was held at the Council Schools, Mr. Napier presiding. The result of the recent plebiscite was strongly in favour of erecting a hut. It was there- fore decided to move on with regard to the matter. A strong committee was formed, with Mr. Napier as chairman and Mr. L. B. Evans as secretary. The many friends of Mr. J. Roach, schoolmaster, will be sorry to learn of his serious illness. Mr. Roach has been schoolmaster at Dunvant for over 40 years. It is to be hoped he will soon have a speedy recovery. E. S.

I Mr. Sidney Adams, iwyn, Garnant, obtained the colliery managers', certifi- cate (first class) at the recent examina- tion, and a surveying diploma.

Vaughan Thomas, M.A., gave an interesting lecture on the Sonata at xietnany vestry, rort laibot, on Thurs- da.v night, the Rev. Arnold Evans pre- siding Replying to a vote of thanks, Dr. Ihomas spoke of a great awakening of musical education in Wales. He was inundated with requests for lectures, and one of the signs of the times was that he was asked to speak of music in relation to poetry, to art, to democracy, and to the labour movement. They should think of music not as sound alone. but as something that expressed the depths of the soul. MORRISTON. I At the Forward Movement Hall on Thursday night a concert was held in aid of Dr. Barnardo's Homes. Councillor Moragn E. Rees presided over a large audience, which was treated to a fine musical programme by the following:— Miss Olive Williams, Miss M. H. Thomas, Mr. W. H. Rees, Mr. Llew. R. Bowen, Mrs. W. J.

""™^ hT SUNDAY CHRONICLE 2nd  ?? LORD MILNER on The Workers' Stake | in The Empire. Vandyk I simply hate the bombast of drum and trumpet Imperialism. But I have seen, in many lands, how our Empire makes for Peace and Justice "I know that for the great body of people in these islands it means more Food and Work. The better conditions of life, which all Social Reformers long for, are unattainable without it." No one who read the first instalment of the remarkable interview with Lord Milner, which appeared exclusively in the last issue of the "SUNDAY CHRONICLE, to will want to miss the second instalment, in which the Secretary of State for the Colonies, speaking in the homely language of the people, tells the British working- man what the Empire means to him. Viscount Milner warns the workers not to be led astray by ignorant "tub- thumpers, who talk clap trap about Jingoism and "flag-wagging" and regard the Empire as just a huge com- mercial swindle in which unfortunate coloured men by the million are oppressed | and exploited for the benefit of capitalists-" Never has the real meaning of Empire been explained in terms so simple and with an inspiration so lofty as in this statement which Lord Milner makes in [ the next issue of the I SUNDAY -I CHRONICLE Out on Sunday Next.
