Accidents in North Wales Quarries. Following the discussion which recently took place in the House of Commons, initiated by Mr. Ellis W. Davies, on the question of acci- dents in the North Wales slate quarries, we understand that Mr. Masterman', Under Sec- retary for the Home Department, has written to Mr. Davies to inform him that the matter is occupying his attention. Some days ago the members of the Mines Commission made a tour of some of the quarries.

Llandudno Urban District I Council. THE COUNCIL AND THE MOTOR I GARAGE COMPANY. A MEMBER WANTS TO KNOW. INTERESTING DISCUSSION. In the absence of Mr. E. E. Bone (the Chair- man), Mr. J. McMaster (ex-Chairman) presidea over the monthly meeting of the Urban Dis- trict Council at Llandudno on Friday after- noon, the other members present being Messrs. W. H. Jones, T. W. Griffith, S. Chantry, W. O. Williams, Robert Roberts, F. J. Sarson, David Davies, W. Thomas, Hugh Edwards, Pierce Jones, W. Beaumont and A. E. VolLam with the Clerk (Mr. A. Connolly), the Deputy Clerk (Mr. W. D. Longshaw), the Engineer (Mr. E. Paley Stephenson), the Electrical En- gineer (Mr. Harold Morton), the Gas Manager (Mr. Shadbolt), and the Accountant (Mr. Walter Wood). NOTICE TO HOTEL PROPRIETOR. The Works Committee reported having given instructions to serve a final notice on Mr. Gauntlett, proprietor of the Marine Hotel, with respect to the removal of the awning at the end of the verandah on the hotel, and that failing compliance, legal proceedings be taken. Mr. Robert Roberts asked whether there was any favourable report to be made to-day, and the Clerk replied that the matter would again come before the Works Committee at the next meeting. Mr. Chantry said that Mr. Roberts could rest assured that what could be done in this matter was being done. The suggestion of the Clerk was agreed, to. Mr. W. O. Williams asked whether the Clerk was to take proceedings on his own responsi- bility. The Clerk said the minute meant that if he considered there was a good case. Mr. T. W. Griffith remarked that there were other encroachments on the promenade which had been granted by the Council. Mr. W. O. Williams moved, and Mr. Griffith seconded, that the Clerk take proceedings if he considered it desirable. Mr. Pierce Jones said that when the plan came before the Council, it showed no gable end at all, and only on open space, and now they found that a partition had been put up between the Marine Hotel and No. 2, Mostyn Crescent. He believed there was an under- standing with Mr. Gauntlett that provided he took out the glass from the frame and: left three feet, it would be allowed to remain. The amendment of Mr. W. 0. Williams was put to the meeting, and rejected, the original recommendations being agreed to. THE COUNCIL AND THE MOTOR CO. It having been reported to a Committee that th.e temporary premises used for a waiting room by the Motor Garage Company was also being used as a shop for the sale of motor car accessories, the Committee instructed the Sur- veyor to give the Company notice to desist from using the premises for trading purposes. In reply to Mr. Hugh Edwards, the Clerk said that he was in communication with the Company, and would bring the matter before the next Works Committee. Mr. Hugh Edwards: Very likely the season will be over by then. At a later meeting of the Committee a letter was read from the Manager of the Company, asking for the objections of the Council to the use of the structural next the Post-office for trading purposes, and the Clerk was instructed to reply stating that they had nothing further to add and to repeat the request for an immed- iate discontinuance of the use of the building as a shop. In the minutes of the Bye-laws Committee the following paragraph appeared, The Clerk submitted correspondence which had taken place between the Chairman of the Council ana the solicitor and manager of the Motor Garage Company. The letter of the manager was accepted as closing the incident." Mr. Pierce Jones said that as a member of the Council he should like to know what these letters were about. The Clerk replied that they were about some indiscre-et remarks made by tJIe manager of the Motor Company, for which he apologised, and the apology was accepted by the Com- mittee. Mr. Pierce Jones I move that we are made aware of the contents of the letters. I have some recollection what it is. It means that what was done at the Council a month ago is squashed for a certain purpose. Mr. F. J. Sarson- What have you to say? Mr. Pierce Jones I move that the history of the cases be explainedl to the Council. Con- tinuing, Mr. Jones said that what he said a month ago was that when the Council granted the application to run an advertising car about the town, he said that the concessions should not have been granted after a certain day. and that was when the Council accepted the invita- tion of the Company to go for a loop tour and a lunch, because it was nothing more or less than a bait to catch the Council for conces- sions. He said then that he would never have gone with them, and he had no intention of doing so in the future, if he never went in a motor car. At the meeting he was laughed at, but what had: it come to? It had come to this accusation and the letters, and the Council were now asked by the Committee to swallow this paragraph wholesale. Mr. Hugh Edwards, in seconding, said it was only fair that all the members of the Council should know the contents of the letters. Mr. Sarson said he was quite certain it would not be in the interests of the Council that the action taken by the respective parties should be disclosed. He believed the members would be very much more satisfied if it was allowed to rest where it was. If an offence had been committed a very apologetic letter had been tendered, and a withdrawal made of anything that was deemed offensive by the officials ot the Council. What more did they want? If a man made a mistake and tendered an apology, every white man and a gentleman would accept it and terminate the difference. Mr. R. Roberts trusted the Council would not pursue the matter further. Mr. Pierce Jones What is the apology for? Mr. R. Roberts: Does dim eisieu dweyd pader wrth berson." (Laughter). Mr. Pierce Jones was the highest authority on the matter, and here he was seeking for information. The Councillors were busy men, and was it worth while wasting more time on this? Mr. T. W. Griffith assured. the Council that the matter was gone into very fully, and the Committee were quite satisfied with the apology of the manager of the Motor Company. Mr. W. Ii. Jones suggested referring the matter to the Council in Committee. Mr. W. O. Williams I move it be referred to the Cemetery Committee. (Laughter.) A seconder was found for Mr. W. H. Jones, and a division took place, when by the casting vote of the Chairman, the matter was referreu to the Council in Committee. SEWERAGE SCHEME. Mr. S. Chantry then moved, and Mr. Beau- mont seconded, that application be made for sanction to borrow the sum of ^8000 odd for the construction of outfalls and sewers on the Conway shore. Mr. W. O. Williams objected, stating that when he voted for the confirmation of the minute, he never dreamt that the figure was so high, and he moved' that the matter be referred to the Council in Committee. Mr. Hugh Edwards seconded. A long discussion ensued, after which the amendment of Mr. W. O. Williams was carried. ALLEGED DRASTIC MEASURE. At a meeting of the Works Committee a com- plaint was submitted from the police against a person for damage to a tree belonging to the Council, and the Committee instructed the Clerk to take legal proceedings, and also in future cases that might be reported to him. Several members asked what the nature of the damage was. Mr. Chantry said that trees in narrow parts of the town were damaged by horses eating the bark and the foliage owing to the carelessness of the drivers in leaving their animals unattended. The tree in question, which was in Craigydon was very badly dam- aged. The action of the Committee would be a caution to others. It was no good plant- ing trees unless they protected them. Mr. T. W. Griffiths considered the Committee were premature in instituting proceedings be- fore their action was confirmed by the Council. To him it appeared a very trivial matter, and a word of caution would have been quite suffi- cient. The Committee appeared to be taking very drastic measures, and were going headlong to summon a poor working man only earning his iSs. or 20S. per week. Mr. Sarson sympathise with what Mr. Griffith had said, and gave an instance of what he described as an agricultural-looking policeman ordering two ladies to remove their bicycles from resting on a tree, although there was nowhere else to place them, while they were shopping. The Chairman said that in the course of a few years, the Council had spent hundreds of pounds on these trees. Mr. W. 0. Williams said it was the duty of the Council to protect the trees, by putting netting around them. It was a most difficult matter for a driver to watch his horse con- tinually. He also considered that the Com- mittee had taken drastic measures with tlus man. He moved that the summonses be with- drawn and that notices be sent out warning these people about the damage to the trees. Mr. David Davies said there were already notices on the trees. It was surely worth their while protecting the trees by taking action against individuals who did not care a rap whether a tree grew or not. Mr. W. H. Jones remarked, that complaints were made by the gardeners continually of damage to trees. One prosecution would be worth a cart load of notices. Mr. A. E. Yollam seconded Mr. W. O. Williams. On being put to the meeting, the amendment was lost and the action of the Committee con- firmed. PROMENADE LIGHTING. Mr. R. Roberts called attention to the light- ing of the promenade, and said it was a matter of the greatest importance for Llandudno. The lighting after dusk was totally inadequate for a pface that depended so much on the autumn season. He trusted the Chairman of the Electricity Committee would take the matter up. Mr. Pierce Jones said that with the Elec- trical Engineer he would do his best to im- prove matters. LABOUR EXCHANGE. At a meeting of the Finance Committee the Clerk reported that he had been in correspond- ence with the Clerk of the County Council with regard to the establishment of a Labour Ex- change at Llandudno, and it was resolved to make application for a Labour Exchange at Llandudno, and that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Carnaivon County Council and the Divisional Officer. THE PROPOSED NEW POLICE STATION. It was decided that the Council should meet a deputation of the Carnarvonshire Standing [oint Committee with reference to the site of the proposed new police station at Llandudno. THE LIGHT RAILWAY The Clerk reported that a notice had been served upon him on behalf of the Light Railway Company stating that application was to be made to the Board of Trade to prolong until September, 1911, the time limit for the com- pletion of the railway between the Llandudno terminus and Deganwy-road, opposite the East- ern corner of the Deganwy railway station, and also with respect to a portion of the railway in Colwyn Bay. It was referred to the Parliamentary Com- mittee. NATIONAL SERVICE LEAGUE. An application was made by Major Town- send Lowe, D.S.O., for permission to deliver lectures on the objects of the League on the foreshore, but the Council decided to offer him the Council field. THE INVESTITURE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. Mr. Robert Roberts called attention to the fact that Cardiff and Carnarvon were holding out for this important function. He felt that Cardiff for once should, let North Wales have its turn. It was decided to support Carnarvon. .8PI8

In Praise of Conway. Good words. J publishes weekly a page of holiday paragraphs under the heading of Mv favourite holiday resorb." Among the prize- winners is Llewelyn Moss Davies, 35, Norman- road, Wrexham, tor the following appreciation of Conway — HISTORIC CONWAY. My favourite holiday resort is Conway. This quaint and most picturesque old place (the Conovium of the Romans) is situate at the mouth of the most beautiful river in Wales—the Conway. Its walls are well preserved, and are somewhat of the shape of a Welsh harp. Con- way Castle is the most beautiful of our fortress- es, and was built by Edward 1. Here, where the dead past speaks from every stone, we seem to be transported bodily back into the Middle Ages, and almost expect to see the gleam of mail on the battlements. Spanning the river are Telford's Suspension Bridge and Stephenson's Railway Tubular Bridge, the two being the models for the Menai and Britannia Bridges Plas Mawr (Great liali) is one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture now extant. In this ancient palace the Royal Cambrian Academy hold their yearly exhibition of pictures, the works remaining on view throughout the summer. b There are three Marine Promenades, on each on the south, east, and west of the river. The Morla (i.e., Marsh), north-'vest of the town, has excellent bathing sands and golf links, and is an ideal camping groand The Curfew bell is still rung at eight o'clock nightly in the square tower of the parish Church.

_I New Parish Hall for Penmaenmawr. I LAVING OF THE FOUNDATION STONE. I THE BISHOP ON WORK AND WORSHIP. In March last, a meeting of the parishioners of Penmaenmawr was called together by the new Vicar (the Rev. Griffith Matthews) to place be- fore them a proposal for the erection of a Parish Hall, and it was unanimously decided to proceed with the work at once. In the April Magazine the Vicar was enabled to publish a list of gifts and promises towards the object amounting to £3'6S. In June, the amount had risen to ;6434, in July to ^.467, and on the 1st of August to £ 574. By the 20th of August it had reached the sum of r7oS os. 6d. On Saturday last, the foundation stone of the new building was laid by Mrs. Williams, wife of the Bishop of Bangor, in the presence of a large gathering of parishioners and friends. Among those present were the Bishop of Bangor, Canon Edwards (the Bishop's chaplain), Revs. T. D. Jones and "W. R. Williams (curates of Penmaen- mawr) Canon Royds, Penmaenmawr Canon Mahaffy, Dublin Revs. J. C. Jones, Llangelyn- in Lewis Jenkins, Llanberis E. Lumley and W. E. Jones, Llandudno H. W. Barnes, Bed- ford H. P. Iliscoke, Widnes Mr. S. R. Wil- liams, lay reader, Harlech, and others. The subscriptions to the building fund have been sent in ungrudingly, and the latest sum acknowledged is one of Cioo from an anonymous donor. The site for the new hall is in the Vicar- age grounds, between St. Seiriol's Church and 'Conway-road, and the building will consist of a spacious classroom and smaller rooms on the ground floor, the entrance being from Conway- road. Over the smaller rooms and extending in the direction of St. Seiriol's there will be a large assembly hall to seat about 350 persons. Considerable interest was taken in the cere- mony, which was preceded by a service in St. Seiriol's, conducted by the Vicar of the parish. After the service, the clergy, wearing their robes, formed a procession, and were followed by the congregation to the site of the new building. The inscription on the stone was as follows This stone was laid by Mrs. Williams, wife of the Bishop of Bangor, August 20th, 1910." Using a silver tiowel, which was presented to her, Mrs. Williams gracefully laid the mortar, and after a few sentences the stone was lowered to position. In the course of an address the Bishop of Bangor said that the situation of the new build- ing taught them a lesson. Above was the Church, and below the hall, and both buildings signified to them work and worship. They went up to the Church and in all reverence and humil- ity bowed themselves down before the footstool of (od. Then they came down to the building, which was to be the home of Christian work. They knew well how many and how increasing were the activities which clustered round the life of a parish priest. Here they hoped people would congregate to mutually encourage and strengthen one another to lead a Christian life and serve their Master. Here they also hoped the missionary returned from foreign lands would come and tell a sympathising and thank- ful audience of the wonderful work God had done. Here they also hoped the various societies would meet for guarding the purity of maiden- hood. for rising those who had fellen, and for teaching parents to more fully realise their re- sponsibilities. They also hoped that all who loved the name of Christ would meet there in social intercourse and join in brotherly love. lie congratulated the new Vicar upon his enter- prise, and also called to mind those departed Vicars who had done so much to build up the Christian life in that parish. He expressed the belief that they were heart and soul with them that day. lie hoped it would please God to give grace to the new Vicar to follow the example of his predecessors, so that when his day also was done there should be signs of what God had en- abled him to do. A hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Williams was moved by Mr. Henry Kneeshaw, J.P., D.L., and also to the Bishop for attending the ceremony. Mr. Kneeshaw referred to the very great interest taken in the diocese by Mrs. Williams. They were indeed truly grateful to Mrs. Williams, and he had the greatest pleasure in presenting her with the-silver trowel with which she had laid the foundation stone. Mr. II. W. Jones, a Churchwarden, seconded the proposition, and remarked upon the great benefit the new hall would be to the parish, more especially to the Church people. In years to come it would be with them as a remem- brance of their present Vicar. He (the speaken advised the young men of the parish to take an int.vest in the hall, and added that all ages would be catered for in the building. Mr. Evill, one of the trustees of the ground, supported the proposition, and referred to the work accomplished by previous Vicars of the parish, mentioning the completion of St. Seir- iol's Church, the re-building of the Parish Church, the erection of the Welsh Church, and the extension of the local schools. The Vicar briefly explained the financial posi- tion of the venture adding that it was their aim to collect £500 before the laying of the founda- tion stone, and in spite of the fact that many people considered Penmaenmawr was not rich, he (the Vicar) was quite sure of the result, but he knew that Penmaenmawr was rich in gener- ous hearts. Last year, r347 had been sent out of Penmaenmawr to assist missionary work abroad and in various parts of this country. The votes of thanks were carried with ac. clamation. Tea was afterwards served at the Vicarage.

The "Western Mail" on the Colwyn Bay Eisteddfod. In a leading article the Western Mail (Cardiff) says: Colwyn Bay, where the National Eisteddfod is to be opened in a few weeks' time, is one of the prettiest spots on the coast of North Wales, its most interesting feature being the charming im- pression of rus in urbe which is lay-out conveys. Recent years have witnessed a considerable ex- pansion in the township, and with it an acces- sion of population whose ambitions extend in nationalist as well as commercial directions. The programme of the Eisteddfod shows that the co-operation has been secured of many eminent Welshmen resident in the surrounding district and of English residents friendly to eis- teddfodic ideals. The Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Mr. Ormsby-Gore, M.P., Sir J. Prichard Jones, Bart., the Hon. Laurence Brod- rick. the Countess of Dundonald, Mr. R. H. Verburgh, M.P., and Sir Watkin Williams- Wynn, Bart., are among the well known names on the list of leading supporters. The pro- gramme, it may be noted, proceeds upon con- ventional lines, no attempt being made to emu- late the variety which seems to be easy of attain- ment at other national assemblies, such as the Oireachtas of the Gaelic League or the Highland Mod. Some day, perhaps, a local committee invested with the task of organising a National Eisteddfod will be encouraged to take a wider sweep so as to include a greater variety of effort and of interest. It would be unwise, of course, to do anything to rob the Eisteddfod of its prim- acy in the realm of poetry and music, or of its power in the encouragement and perpetuation of those arts among the Welsh people but it would be perfectly consistent with that aim if greater prominence could be given to creative and executive effort in the drama, to mention only one possible avenue of expansion. It is of interest to remark in this connection that at the Sokol, the annual festival of the Slavonic nation- alities of Austria-Hungary, the cult of athletics is the principal feature.

I The Sad Drowning Fatality at Colwyn. I The body of the young man, Harry Maddocks, who met his death by drowning at Colwyn, as recorded in our last issue, was washed ashore on Thursday morning, a few Colwyn, as recorded in our last issue, was washed ashore on Thursday morning, a few yards from the spot where he disappeared on Monday. An inquest was held on Thursday evening in the Assembly Room, Colwyn, by Mr. J. Holland Roberts, deputy coroner. Mr. Charles F. Roberts, Church-street, Colwyn, was elected foreman of the jury. Mr. John Maddocks, of 566, Stretford-road, Old Trafford-road, Manchester, manufacturers' agent, father of the deceased, said his son left home on Saturday, for Old Colwyn, intending to stay for a fortnight. He last saw his son at 6.30 p.m. on Saturday, when be was in his usual good health. His son never complained of any weakness. He had been accustomed to bathing in the baths about twice a week, and i could swim and float. The young man's uncle, Mr. George Mumby, Stanchffe, Porter's Lane, Ashton-on-Mersey, merchant and shirt manufacturer, said that on the 15th August he was down on the shore, and saw deceased going to the water in ordinary bathing dress. He accompanied the deceased down to the beach, and was in his sight practically all the time. Witness saw him go in to the water, and he floated and made two motions with his legs. He heard a slight sound, as of a man blowing. He looked up, and deceased made another similar sound, and witness jumped up and shouted, "Harry, come out." Deceased turned over, and his head disappeared, and there was no other sign. The water was about to his hips, which would be about four feet, and deceased was about 5ft. 7in. or 8 inches in height. Witness rushed into the water after calling out, and could see nothing of the deceased, and he called for help, and saw a boat on the shore. He rushed for it, and got it down with the help of some other people to the water, and when at the edge of the water thev found that there were no oars or rowlocks. Meanwhile two men and three ladies, in answer to the cry for help, plunged into the water and swam about the place in- dicated for some time. Witness rushed for oars to a house, about* 300 yards away, and a lady gave them to him. The boat was put out, and witness was verv exhausted and fell on the beach. The steamer loading at the quarry also sent out a boat. Witness, when he heard the deceased call, rushed into the water to a depth of about 3 or 4 feet. The tide was com- ing in at the time. He did not know that there was any danger attached to bathing in this locality. Witness had been cricketing with de- ceased all the morning. Deceased had a meal about one o'clock. He had not been in the water more than 11 minutes before he 2 collapsed. P.C. "Holgate (67L Old 'Colwyn, gave evi- dence as to earching for the body, for about three hours, dragging the whole time, with no result. He went out again about midnight, the tide being low, accompanied by three others, and searched along the beach for about a mile until about 2 a.m. with no result. He also searched on the following afternoon. At 6 a.m., on the morning of Thursday, he was informed the bodv was washed ashore close to the place where he disappeared. He went down and took charge of the body from Robert Hughes, who had seen it from the house. Robert Hughes, Tanypenmaen, said he saw the bodv about 6.30 that morning from his house, washed on the shore. He went for the bodv and dragged it ashore, and reported the matter to the police. The Coroner'stated that the evidence proved that there was no treacherousness on the beach. How the disaster occurred they were at a loss to know. The Jury returned a verdict of "Accidentallv drowned," and passed a vote of sympathy with the family in their bereavement. Mr. Maddocks returned thanks for the ex- pressions of kind sympathy he had received from residents and visitors in their bereave- ment. :=:-=--=-=.==-==-=:=-====-=======--=-=-

{\ The double chin, with bulkv neck, ages a woman in appearance more than anything else. Autipon quickly restores j■acial beauty as n-ell as bodily symmetry. A WOMAN'S WISH. Oh, how I wish I could get thin again-as slender as I was at twenty-five!" moaned a handsome but over-stout middle-aged lady a short while ago. Nothing easier, madam," said the writer, cheerfully. You have only to take Antipon for a few weeks. I can assure you vour wish will be fulfilled." The lady was certainly two stone over-weight. Antipon? What's that?" she asked. I expressed my surprise at her qeustion, ex- plained the wonderful action of Antipon in re- ducing weight, and at the same time increasing strength and vitality, and she promised, eagerly even, to try it. I fear there are many other stout people who are wasting time, money, and health in follow- ing some dieting-cum-drugging treatment with very bad results. These sufferers should know that Antipon eliminates all superabundant fat without depriving them of wholesome food. Quite the contrary: Antipon is a splendid tonic, and is extremely good for the digestive system, the disordered condition of which is one of the causes of obesity. I have no room here for physiological details, but I can assure my stout readers that Antipon will give them a splendid appetite, and they will get stronger as fast as they are regaining slenderness and grace. So it was with my lady friepd. She followed the simple and harmless treatment consistently, I must tell you but she did not bother about diet-she just ate what she liked, and digested and thoroughly enjoyed it. Getting better and stronger and brighter every day, she soon re- gained normal weight, and as nice and graceful a figure as any one could wish to have. 4* I shall thank you all my life," she said. with sincere gratitude, when I met her recently. I should never have believed it. I feel a different woman now. You may tell everybody what I think of it." Well, stout readers, I am doing so, am I not? MARCHESA. Antipon is sold in bottles, price 2S. 6d. and 4s. 6d., by chemists, stores, etc., or in case of disappointment may be obtained (on sending amount), carriage paid, in private package, from the Antipon Co., Olmar-street, London, S.E. #
