IQV A S S.WAN,j FUND. I The Progress. £ 100 From R. E. Jones, Ltd. Swansea's Fund receives a notable addition to-day in a splendid contribution from Messrs. £ E1. Jones, Ltd. Sir Charles T. PiUthen, writing i to) the hon. secretary of the fund, say" s that the directors of Messrs. U. E. Jones, Ltd., met on Friday afternoon and unanimously agreed to subscribe the sum of £100 to- wards the Children's Summer Home scheme. Sir Charles adds: The directors desired that 1. should abo write to you express- ing their hope that you will get all the money required, and that the children will soon have. a home worthy of their parents and of the dear old town of Swansea. We also acknowledge to-da-v with gratitude several further subscrip- tions towards the Widows' and Orphans' (and Children's Home) Fund. Progress is steady, but slower than had been hoped by these who have the cause most at heart, and who have known inti- mately the joy of the children who have benefited by this summer's preliminary holidays. Swansea 's getting to realise the outstanding merits and potentialities of the scheme, but the full response ¡-.f the borough, for which Mr. H. Stanley L. Cook has appealed, and Ivhich'he has no doubt will be ulti- mately forthcoming, has yet to come. The printed appeal, In the sacred charge of Swansea, will doubtless bring this./ TO-DAY'S LIST. £ S.

DECIMAL COINAGE. -———ole————
DECIMAL COINAGE. -——— ole ———— Improbable Introduction in England. The Royal Commission on Decimal Coinage appointed a year ago are prepar- ing their draft report, which should be published before Christmas. Lord South- wark's Bill in the Lords proposed a new coinage, with the pound as the unit, divi- oed into ten florins. 100 new twopences, and 1.000 new farthings. Many witnesses gave evidence, including leading bankers. who were found in general to be opposed to the change, Nearly all the evidence emphasised the difficulties in the Way of making any change. IMPOSSIBLE? The Commission also considered the pos- sibility of establishing a dollar, consist- ing of 100 pennies, as the new standard of British coinage, and the abolition of the pound standard, but the objection? raised by financial experts were believed to be oon^lnsire It was urged that such a change would certainly result in th< American dollar triumphing a.? the inter-j national iinitv of exchange—a dignity etill held by the British pound Rterling In view of all these difficulties it will probably be found that the Commission will report that the introduction of the into British coinage is im possible

CASE FOR EGYPT.I
CASE FOR EGYPT. I Ex-Premier on Causes of I, Complaint. Mahommed Said Pasha, the Premier of Egypt who has just resigned, has given the folowing resume of the Egyptian fom- } plaints against the British control of the country. j The firet and foremost cause of unrest in Egypt, he says, is the lack of policy on the part of Britain. Let them teli us what they are aiming at," he says in effect; and should it not he contrary to the duty of Egyptians who ltJye their ^untiv, they can relv on us I' to exert our utmost energy and influence infurthennce of their scheme."

I Let the British content themselves with controlling the Ministries of Finance an(I j Foreign Affairs and the Department of Irrigation The whole canal 7/one could be occupied and administered by the I British Army. Egypt has enough capable men to manage the Ministries of the Interior, Public Instruction, and Transport and Communications. For the present no good can result from the presence of Lord Milner's mission in Egypt. The date of the mission's arrival in Egypt has not been definitely fixed, say. Reuter, but there is every reason to be- lieve that it will reach there at the latest by the middle of December. I

OXFORD STREET FIRE 1 Swansea Brigade and I Water Supply. Policeman Praised. The tragic end of an old lady of 70 I jears of age, Miss Eliza Philips, who war Oxford-street, on Wednesday morning, was the subject of an inquest held by the j borough coroner, Mr. J. C. Moris, at the j Swansea, Coroner's Court on Friday. Evidence of identification was given by George Kosser, the occupier of the house. who said deceased was his wife's aunt, j Witness, continuing, said he was a couch aliilder, and hi, wife conducted a grocery j business on the premises. On Tuesday | niy,ht the tihop was closed at 7 o'clock, and nothing was done there afterwards. I They had gas in the house, and as far as he knew the service was in perfect I order. The stock was general grocery, and the only inflammable things there I were matches, but the stock of thoee was not heavy. He and his wife retired to bed at 10.30, they sleeping in the front hedroom and the deceased in the back. The fire in the grate was low. At about 4."10 next morning he woke, and heard a noise downstairs, which pounded as though someone wa walkin about. VOLU M eeF SMOKE. I When he opened the bedroom door he was greeted with a volume of smoke. When he got to the bottom of the stairs lie saw the fire, which was then confined to the shop. It appeared to be just inside the door on the right hand side. Witness, proceeding, said his wife had got lliss Phillips out of bed, and they both went to the top of the stairs, but could not got down, and so bad returned to the bed- room. The Coroner: Was Miss Phillips a strong woma.n, or one who would easily be over- come? 1 expect ahe was overcome by the smoke. The Chief of the Fire Brigade (In- spector Edgar Earns) said they received the alarm at 4.53, and they turned out in three minutes. They took the motor fire engine and arrived on the scene at 5 o 'clock. The water would only reach to the gutter. When they arrived there was little hope for the house, as the whole building was alight. There was no possible chance of saving the old dy, so that her death was not affected at all by the poor water supply. l'he chief turncock regulated the supply. They had only once before found a poor supply and that. was some months 'ago at the Hafod. The chief turncock, John Joslin, of 2, Whyndam-street, gave evidence. The Coroner thought it should be part of the turn-out to call out the turncock. although of course that did not affect the old lady's death. The jury returned a verdict of acci- dental death by burning, there being no evidence to show how the fire originated. The jury advised that matches and other combustibles should be kept in tin boxes. They desired to congratulate the polico, especially P.C. May, who had made a gallant attempt to rescue the old lady, and who deserved a word of commenda- tion.

I HOUSING *SUBSIDY.
I HOUSING SUBSIDY. | Luxury Building to be I Arrested. I Arreste d I The Premier and the I Municipalities. The Government's new housing pro- posals were submitted in the House o Commons on Friday by Dr. Addison, tit, Minister of Health. He emphatically denied that the Government's scheme had been a liascc or a ftilui-e. He found a blank when starting with the work, and the country was sufferini to-day from his predecessor's (Loi\! Downham) neglect. Work which involved dealing with 1,80. local auihorities could not be done in a month or two, and it was inevitable thai the preliminary epadework should take a long time. Alluding to schemes for new and cheaper types of oon-strucf ion, the depart- ment had been engaged for months before it was mooted in the stunt Press upor this branch of the question. They hae no right to be stampeded tnto asking authorities to erect dwellings whici. would be found rotten and unsatisfactory (Hear, hear.) "DELAY INEVITABLE." Progress had been made; they had ap proved 31,000 acres of land to be laid ou for houses, and another 34,000 had been 6urveyod. That was land enough for the 1\-hol{! half-million houses of the programme. Delay had been inevitable; firstly. beT cause the Ministry would not in many, cases agree to the price asked for sites, and, secondly, because the department, had seen to it that certain estimates fo: building should be cut down. Plvo result was that on the average th: prtco had been reduced by X80 per house j I..k of transport also added to ibei- j difficulties and caused delav. He wa, | aware there were several trucks ir France. (Loud laughter.) The number even if put at 10,000, was relatively trivial oom par ed with the number !• wanted. The cost of material had in many case gone up 200 per cent., in some 300 pe; cent., and the average was 150. j The war had depleted the buildin; j trade by 200,000 men; about 60 per cent t of those still in the trade were doing re- j pair work, 30 per cent. of the romainde; were engaged on all kinds of extansioi: work, and, in addition, there was a con- sideraWe amount of extravagant buildinp on the latter. The Government had proposals to make. but owing to various difficulties builders were not anxiouo to tender, and the high cost made local authorities hesitate to get with their schemes. SUBSlln TO BUILOERS. Some of tM an Lorfti had difficulty in raising the necessary loans. but tacjs Government hoped in a few days to issue* a scheme which would provide a very at- [ tractive form of municipal investment. Ife had had many with builders, and it Had been arranged that iocal authorities should make arrant ments with builders to eieot houses for helll. •; The Government had decided to moke a i proposal limited to the number of houses ) completetl in a certnin time. A man who built a house would receive a subsidy amounting to not more thaT .£150. This was limited to twelve months; j it would be a free grant. An agreement had been made with tlic F^ ederated Builders whereby each woulc have a share of whatever orders might be before the federation. i Information as to costs and quantities had been acquired, and to the EederateC j' Builders they would say that where they had built 100 houses thet would now j! have to build 500. (Cheers.) The Government had decided o arms, luxury building and to prevent people Iwing turned out of decent houses (Cheers.) Proposals would be put before a con- feronco of employers and employes en- suring employment. I PREMIER'S SPEECH. Mr. Lloyd George said nothing contri- huted more to the sense of clisouiet an(? I disturbance in the country than tin [ shortage of houses. The nionient the Government rlis- covered what the municipalities could d< j and what the deficiency was, chev tool. fresh steps to supplement the activi t ie, of the municipalities. In the past these authorities had onb supplied 5 per cent. of the houses of tli( country. But 60,000 plans for houses by loca; authorities had row passed, and tha. j was a very considerable advance on any- 1 thing they had yet done. I do not believe (the Premier continued the municipalities have exhausted their local patriotism.

They really mus be thrown on their own resources. I ar sure it will succeed in counties an towns if you get the population there in forested. Small sums can be put in' They will be invested in the county an town the investors love best.
