THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. The Rev. Gwilym Davies, Car- marthen, in an address to the English Baptist Church Guild, Carmarthen, on "The Progress of Modern Wales," has spoken in ways that manifest a courage that will probably bring him into trouble. He said: "In Wales we are beginning to ask big questions. We are asking how can any man or any woman who owns slum property really believe in the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God* How can any community believe in the doctrine of the Atonement—in the doctrine that Jesus laid down his life to sare the world to uplift the people—and refuse to clear away the dens of disease in its midst because any such clear- ance, any such effort, would possibly mean a penny or twopenny rate? We believe in the doctrine of the Atonement, we believe in the sacrifice with blood, but it must not be our blood, nor, if possible, our pocket." He continued: "Is there in the kingdom a place where the Gospel •f Redemption has been preached more powerfully for the last hundred years than in Carmarthen, and is there in the king- dom a borough council which suffers more acutely from spinal paj-alysis? Our council appears to be incapable of standing •n its feet and looking at our grave social problem squarely in the face. The story of the stifling of these efforts at real re- form, is a pitiful story of incapacity in the work of administration of Acts of Parlia- ment. What is true of the Carmarthen Town Council is true of other local bodies in West Wales. And why? Individually, •ur councillors are excellent men; as a body they lack in initiative, in imagina- tion, and in a determination to carry out the duties entrusted to them." I am glad to give the Rev. Gwilym Davies my sympathyf no matter how little it is worth. The people are being done to death, and it is time to make protest. Carmarthen lags, but Carmarthen is not alone in us lagging. What is wanted is religion that will purify the slums and purify and the livea of the people. TEE BE A SOX WHY. Somebody says that it is strange how often Cardiff is mentioned in fiction nowa- days. I do not think there is anything' atrange in Cardiff be-jrg prominent in fiction. It is reality Cardiff laciks, noi iction. THE CEURCEES AND UNITY. I have no desire to enter into any sort •f discussion about what is called the unity of the churches. As long as religion is organised, there can be no unity in the sense I mean. Outside the religious enclosures there are vast masses of people to whom religion could be taken without ehurches, or creeds, or oblations, or cere- monies. There are now religious workers unconnected with any denomination who are doing what they can to bring hope and brightness to what may be called the lost. To me the religious problem is not how to get the sects united, but how to bring the leaven of religion into the lives of the millions who are outside the re- ligions enclosures. The conditions under which large numbers of people live render religion impossible. This is true, not only in this country, but in other countries all ever the world. NOT TYBANNY. I think that the contemptuous attitude •f certain aristocrats, especially the newer sort, towards mere ordinary human beings, is not due to a spirit of tyranny, but to an exaggerated sense of their own importance. Fancy a peer or an arch- bishop being told by a farm labourer, or a Liberal, or a Nonconformist, that one man is as good as another, and that there should b" equality all round. White people treat natives of Africa and ether countries as if they were inferiors. This treatment is not due to a. tyrannical spirit, but to presumption of a superiority which really does not exist. There is 80mething very amusing to me in arrogant condescension towards their imaginary inferiors. Personally, I rather enjoy this sort of condescenion, as it affords material I for amusement. The self-conscious aris-! tocrat is not a tyrant, but is a.n imaginary superior to what he deems to be the mere rag-tag and bob-tail of the community. ON THE WAY. I was pleased the other day to see that there is reason to believe that her Majesty the Queen favours the institution of an order of honour for women, equal to the joyal orders conferred upon men. For more than half a century I have been pleading for equal treatment of women with men who have deserved royal recognition. It is pitiful, I think, that women should devote themselves to great causes, and even sacrifice their lives, and yet never receive royal recognition. Will Queen Mary get this work done, or is it only an unfounded rumour? It is sixty years since Florence Nightingale did great work for which she ought to have been honoured. There ought not, perhaps, to be any organised movement to bring about this kind of recognition, but it would be an inspiriting act on the part of tÐtt Queen if her Majesty became the head ei an Order that would recognise the ser- vices of women which are not less noble, cr less national, or less self-sacrificing than the services of men. If an Order of this kind were instituted, it ought to have grades as the titles and honours bestowed upon men have grades, from knights to dukoo. It is not rewards that are needed, but recognition. What is wanted is the removal of every law, and every exclusion, and every non-recognition, and every dis- ability that implies inferiority, or incap- acity, or unfitness on the part of women just because of sex. The Queen will render a great service to all the women of the world if this recognition can be brought about. There are, of course, millions of men who never receive any sort of national recognition, but they are not excluded be- cause of sex, as women are excluded. They are simply not known. Besides, all worthy action is not expected to be royally recog- nised. What is wanted is to improve the status of the women of the country, and I hope that this will be done by her gracious Majesty. ABOUT JOKES. Some-jokes are so obscure, many of those in Punch, for instance, that there is not time enough between one publication and another to enable the point of he joke to bo seen. Jokes that can only be seen by experts are useless to the general public. MORE INFORMATION Somebody says that the Neolithic Age, which preceded the Bronze Age, lasted for something like 20,000 years, while the Paleolithic Age, which preceded the Neolithic Age, extended over something like a million years! What I want to know is, in which of these ages Adam was ereated? Of course, a few millions of years are nothing to me, but the subject is interesting. OBSERVATIONS. There are some things, what are called eugenics for instance, that should not be discussed wifrh children. Reticences and silences are often worth more than know- ledge. The national advantages of having here- ditary monarchs is that the system pre- vents scrambles for the throne and all the corruption that such scrambles mean. Structures depend far more for their beauty and stability on their foundations and material than on the genius ai d skill of their architects-and builders. One of the greatest troubles of a rich rogue must be to have to live always in the presence of the fruits of his rascality. It is not the business or duty of the wise to tell fools of their folly. The value of almost everything in the world depends on who possesses it. Party politics and aPtnamen reveal the fact that people are still mainly savages, notwithstanding their religion and learn- ing and real or imaginary good breeding. One of the saddest and most hopeless things in the life of a successful man of business may be that he is forced to make money which he does not want and cannot spend because those who can afford to buy his business can afford to do without it. SPRING. 'Tis spring. I hear the singing of the birds, Strange songs and sweet, although they have no words. The hedgerows are revealing signs of life, For there is now an end of winter's strife. Down at the roots of grass and weeds and trees There is new life, as in the gentle breeze, That whispers where the storm winds used to rave, And decks with flowers what seemed like nature's grave. Winter is past. Again the spring gives birth To that which is the marvel of the earth, And I once more, as many times before, Bow down before the Power that I adore, As I go wandering through woods and fields And take in lowliness what springtime yields WOMEN AS POLICEMEN. Several cities in America are appointing women as policemen. Many wrongdoers will be glad to be taken up by the new policemen. This is the sort of force we want in this country. WHY BUILD ONE? Is there going to be organised undenom- inational religion? The War Office announce that a deputation, representa- tive of the various Protestant churches in Scotland, which waited on the Secretary of War last month, to urge the responsi- bility of the War Office for providing a church for the use of troops at Redford, expressed their willingness to combine for the purpose of promoting the spiritual welfare of the soldiers, and to make use of a single church. Colonel Seely prom- ised to formulate a scheme for the build- ing of a church for use by all denomina- tions. This looks like a step in the right direc- tion, but what is really wanted is to get at the masses who belong to no denomina- tions. It is distributions of religious leaders that are needed. ANOTHER CEANCE. Dr. Clifford, in a, St. David's Day speech, referring to Wales, said: I understand you have only one Welsh saint. Well, there'll soon be another. It will be Saint Lloyd George. I would canonise him right away. No man has shown more com- passion for the poor and done more to up- lift them than David Lloyd George." What I would like would be to see him sent to the House of Lords where he could receive a little abuse from his fellow peers. Just think of his being a saint! Here is a quotation slightly altered: When the devil was ill the devil a saint would be. When the devil was well the devil a saint was he." AMUSEMENT. Nothing amuses me more than to see the elaborate arrangements some people make as to what is to be done after they are dead. 1 am not going to trouble myself about what will happen after I am dead. I will see that my obligations are met, and then —— LUCKY DUG. Swerving to avoid a dog, a motor car at Derby ran into a ladder on which a window cleaner was standing, with the result that the man fell and was killed. HOW ASTONISHING. I see that Mr. D. A. Thomas is described as a millionaire coal owner. Dear me! I had no idea. he was as well off as all that. I used to believe in his future as a politician, but he disappointed me. And he is a mil- lionaire, is he ? Good gracious, and I never even asked him for a subscription. How unfortunate. I thought he was an ordinary, commonplace sort of person, something like myself. How disgusted he must have been with my attitude. He very likely thought I was an awful fool. A BRAVE GIRL. Miss Jennie Williams, of New-street, Beaumaris, who is only eighteen years of age, has been presented with a gold watch for helping a policeman when he was deal- ing with a brut?. She ought to be made a member of the force. I think she is almost fit to be entrusted with a. parlia- mentary vote! I wonder when justice will be done to women. Brave Jennie—I con- gratulate you The Coast

He had just finished his speech in reply to the toast moved by Mr. David Davies, M.P., when he sat back in his chair and showed signs of distress.

Also "Our Navy" (part three). For the second ha) f of the week "The Fateful Promise" v. as the chief picture. It is a strongly emotional subject, givihg scope. for fine acting. Though there are profoundly pathetic episodes, the bright promise of the concluding incident gives a cheerful ending. Part 4 of "Our Navy." which is also being shown illustrates the training of our navy. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week an i>xc?ption illv fine programme is promised, the pictures being" The Tales of Two Cities. Market Hall Cinema.— On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week, the British masterpiece of "Sixty Years a Queen" is to be shown, and special matinees are to he given each day at three o'clock. There is no cinematograph film in existence which has been talked about so much as this one. It is over 6,000 feet in length, and embraces hundreds of scenes depicting the life and reign of Queen Victoria. As a picture of general interest it is remarkable, and as a lesson in English history it has not a parallel. It should be seen by every child and young person in Aberystwyth, as more indelible impres- sions will be left on the mind by seeing this. picture than months of study would produce. Mr. Cheetham is to be congratu- lated on his enterprise in securing this great attraction, which is the most expen- sive production ever shown on a picture screen in Aberystwyth. Smithfield Monthly Sales.—Messrs. Cooke Bros. and Roberts conducted their second monthly sale in the Smithfield on Mondav. There was a good entry of stock. Several bunches of useful store cattle met with a ready sale, strong two-vear-old bullocks making up to J314 and JB15, and heifers. JE12 to £14. In-calf cows made up to 2s 6d. barren cows up to 15 guineas. Fat cattle met with excellent oompetfittion, fijve fat bullbcks from tl/e College Farm making about £24 10s. apiece. Two fat bullocks from Mr. Jones, Esgairhir, sold at £22 5s. each other fat bullocks making from JB14 to £19. Three fat rows from Lodge Park made up to about £20 apiece. There were several; pens of fat wethers, but the competition was not satisfactory. The trade in pigs was very brisk. The highest price obtained was for a fat sow which realised £10 15s. The auctioneers announced that they had received a number of entries for their next sale, including several in-calf heifers. The next sale is advertised for Monday. April 5th. K Jetsam.—A bottle was lejentlv pided up on the seashore below Cwmeiro Farm: and handed over to Capt Doughton. Lloyds agent for the district from New Quay' to the Dovey. The bottle contained a piece of paper with the words in English "Finder of this note please write to Le Roy Chadbourne, 520, Park-avenue, New York City, U.S.A. Aug. 10th, 1913. Capt. Doughton wrote as requested and received a reply from Mr. Chad- bourne saying that last year he was on a yachting trip around the Mediterranean Sea and then sailed home from Liverpool. He had great pleasure in throwing bottles overboard and re- ceived answers from "All over." one com- ing on February 17th from Rossc^rbery, Ireland, thrown over on the same day as the one Capt. Doughton sent, but was not fcund until February 5th. Football.—The Liberal Club eleven met Dcwlais C.E.M.S. at the Smithfield on Saturday before a good "gate." The pro- ceeds of the match were in aid of the funds of the Town team. Both teams fielded strong elevens and play at the out- set was inclined to be unnecessarily rough. The referee, however, wisely nipped it in the bud by cautioning an offender. At half time Dowlais led by two goals to nil, and added a third in the latter portion. Morris, however, got through for the Liberals; but the final result was in favour of Dowlais by three goals to one. Mr. T. Oartwright refereed in his usual satisfac- tory manner. On the same day, the College were defeated at Newtown by six goals to one. On Saturday the Town team will play Machynlleth at the latter place. The Late Rev L R. Lelr.—The funeral of the late Rev. L. R. Leir, rector of Charl- ton Musgrove, took place on Saturday, Feb- ruary 21st, at the new church. Notwith- standing the wet weather, there was a large -gathering. The widow and children were present. The service was conducted by the Rev. Canon Bicklesworth Ottley, Regent's Park, canon of Canterbury Cathe- dral, late vicar of Eastbourne; the Rev H. M Spackman, Wincanton; and the Rev D L. Hayward, Bruton. A large number of beautiful wreaths were sent by friends from far and near. If he had lived three years longer at the Rectory, he would not only have spent thirty years as rector, but with his nine predecessors (eight of them of the same surname) would have completed three centuries as clergymen of the parish. Of the late Rev Randolf Leir, it is simple justice to say that the interest of his poor parishioners lay close to his heart and by them he will not only be missed, but wanted. Creat Western Railway.—At the annual general meeting of the Great Western Com- pany, on Thursday, Mr. R. J R Loxdale asked that a Great Western man might be appointed stationmaster at Aberystwyth. They wanted a stationmaster who would look after the interests of the Great West- ern Railway. He would like to see all the porters Great Western men. When the plans for Aberystwyth Station were completed, he hoped it would be possible for trains to draw up inside the station. He was grate- ful for the improvement to Llanilar Station, and pressed earnestly for better railway facilities in Cardiganshire. Lord Churchill, in replying So rtlw questions, said the matters raised by Mr. Loxdale would have the directors careful considera- tion. The railway services in remote dis- tricts were not remunerative, and Mr Loxdale would not wish the Company to rush headlong into an unpaying service. Police Cases.—At the Police Station on Monday before the Mayor, William Thomas, and J. Gibson, Esqrs., Lewis Jones (Bachyrhew).

Henry French, labourer, Fulham. who was fined 5s. or 14 days, was found to have been so drunk that he could not stand on his legs, and Charles Pimm, labourer. Treorchy, a smart-looking man, was fined 5s or 14 days for begging door to door on Sunday for food. He had no insurance card and the Mayor said that showed that Pimm had not been working for over twelve months. P.C. Evan J. Evans proved the case. The three men were removed to Carmarthen prison. On Tuesday, William Duncan, farm labourer, charged by P.C. Thomas Williams with "having been drunk by the Town Clock was fined 2s. 6d. and costs.

J. ABDALE GAINS VERDICT OVER A. GLADWIN. There was a crowded attendance at the Sylvan Palace on Tuesday evening when a carnival of wrestling and boxing pro- mot-ed by Mr. J. Abdale. the well-known local sportsman, was held. Among those present were Sir Edward Pryse, the popular baronet of Gogerddan, whose appearance was the signal for loud cheer- ing. A large number of other preeminent county and townspeople were present. The "star" turn of the evening was a ten-round contest, at catch. weights, for a sum of JB16 between A. E. Gladwin of Bow Street, ex-armv champion of India, and Jack Abdale," Aberystwyth, the match taking place as a result of a challenge issued by Gladwin which Abdale, although /two stone lighter, pluckily accepted. I if the absence of the appointed official, Mr. H. Jones, a former well-known boxer, was referee. Both men appeared in the pink of condition, and in the opening rounds, Gladwin showed himself an exceedingly c!ever boxer. He possessed a useful left swing which Abdale's clever footwork enabled him to avoid. In the fifth round there were cries of foul" when the Bow Street man hit suspiciously low but the referee al'owed the contest to proceed. In the sixth round both men forced matters and Abdale, slipping on his knee, his opponent continued to box amid fur-1 ther cries of "foul." The referee there-] fore disqualified Gladwin and declared Abdale the winner, a decision which could not he found fault with. » In a subsequent speech. Abdale said he •f-'gretted that the contest should have such an unsatisfactory ending; but an- nomiced amid cheers that he would wi lingly give Gladwin another chance and would meet hinragain at even money. Both men afterwards gave an exhibition contest of a few rounds. Abdale also re- plied to statements recently made con- cerning him. and said he was prepared to meet Jack Georgie for any money at any time at catch weights. Other events during the evening were boxing contests between A. Potts and J. R" Edwairds, and H. While, and A. S. Jones, refereed by Sergt. Major Cusack. No decisions were given. An exhibition on the rings was also given by A. Potts pud A. Lloyd (members of the Athletic flub), with a wrestling match between W. H. Jones and A. Potts, in which the latter was declared winner.

LICENSING SESSIONS. The adjourned licensing sessions were held yesterday .(Thursday), at the Town Hall, before Peter Jones, presiding; E. P. Wynne, C. M. Williams, John WTatkins, Richard Morgan, Captain T. Doughton, Captain D James, J. Gibson, T W. Powell, and Robert Doughton. Esqrs. The renewal of licence of the Station Refreshment Rooms having been adjourned for an explanation why the rooms were closed from November to March, Mr. Minshall, solicitor, Oswestry, stated there was not sufficient business to kieep the rooms open, and there was a loss of JB50 on the working. No complaint had been made of tne lack of facilities. The next case considered was that of Coachbuilders Arms, Cambrian-street, the licensee being Mr. J. Lloyd Jones. Super- intendent Phillips gave evidence that the licence was not required. Mr A. J. Hughes formally applied for the renewal of the licence In the case of St. George's Hotel. Port- land-street, Superintendent Phillips gave evidence that the house was not required, and was cross-examined by Mr. A. J. Hughes. Miss Brown, the licensee, gave evidence in support of her application for the renewal of the licence. She pro- duced fijgures to show that' during the past three months her trade had increased four-fold compared with the corresponding veriod last year. She had established a business connection with visitors, and accommodation was provided in the house for thirty people. If she had anticipated opposition she would not have relinquished other business and invested her capital in the St George's.—By the Chief Constable: She knew there had been five tenants in three years, and the trade was prac- tically gone.

LLANBADAR-N. The School. -The children of Cwmpadarn School gave themselves up to a hearty cele- bration of St David's Day on Friday. During the first part of the morning meet- ing an exhibition of articles, books, etc., of byegone Wales were exhibited. Their uses and history were explained to the children by Mr Powell, Frondeg, under whose supervision the exhibits were laid out for inspection. Two rushlight holders afforded much interest. Snuffers used for cutting the wick of the old tallow candle were shown, as welt aq the old brass candle- 11 sticks, pewter plates, and old brass padell One of the brass pans had been in use for many years at a local farmhouse to dye wool for the making of the cloth for the use of the family. An old key of Llan- badarn Church, about 500 years old, and a piece of oak from the church when it was restored, supposed to be about 1,600 years old, were among the exhibits. Among the pictures and' books were two old prints of old Aberystwyth and of old farmyards and rick yards, with; workmen dressjed in smock frocks, etc., as well as several prints of Bible history. A good photograph of the first "cwnstable" of Llanbadarn was shown. Amongst the books was an old tutor assistant of 1820, and the old copper- plate or headline of the same period. An exercise book written by one Thomas Charles, in 1800, was quite a relic, as well as others of a later period. Old election ballads of 1852 were among the collection. During that year, Pryse Loved en of Goger- ddan. contested the Cardigan Boroughs. his opponent being Inglis Jones of Derry Ormond. Old workboxes of splendid work- manship, and samplers, as well as gold, >;i i'vei?, .and copfper rojr!is of the Georgian period were shown. Some of them were in -excellent state of preserva- tion.

At ten o'eolek the in- fants School and the Mixed School assem- bled in the main room of the mixed depart- ment. A programme of song and drama had been arranged by the Headmaster and Mistress Miss Powell, of Frondeg, pre- sided.
