MOTOR CYCLING. I Air Pressure in Tyres. I There is a very divided opinion among motor-cyolistci as to the correct pressure at which. a tyre should be maintained, some advocating that it should be as hard as a board, others recommending that it should be quite soft. My experience is that board-hard tyres last in-good condition for a much longer period than those that are soft. They are more immune from cute and splitting at the sides. But, when there is a very high air pressure in the tyres, the rider feels an enormous amount of vibration-in fact, so far as his comfort is concerned, he might as well go back to the days of .solid tyres. The vibration, moreover, is very bad for the machine itself, throwing a great strain upon the frame-work and upon the various working parts. The introduction of spring frames will go a long way to counteract the bad effects of hard tyres, but, in the meantime, I advise the = motor-cyclist to strive after the happy mean. Hard tyres are bad for the machine ann uncomfortable, and soft tyres soon wear out. The mid-way stage is, thereforer what .should be striven for. Look After Your Plugs. I A cheap sparking plug generally proves, in the long run, to be much more expensive than one that costs, perhaps, more than 50 per cent. more in the first in- stance. I think it is false economy to use a poor plug upon one's motpr-cycle, for a low price and dis- satisfaction nearly always go hand in hand, so far as plugs are concerned. The rul< I invariably follow is to buy one which is guaranteed by the makers, for, should anything be wrong with it over a stipulated period, it will be re-placed free of charge. Plugs with strong and thick insulation are best, for a motor-cycle plug has to stand enormous pressure. The points should 1-w frequently cleaned with an old tooth brush, dipped in petrol. Carbon deposit should never be allowed to settle on them. Always have the lock-nuts on the shank screwed up tight. Never carry a "dud" plug as a spare. Take in your tool-bag something on which you know you can absolutely rely. One advantage possess- ed by the plug with a single joint over a plug with two or more points is that the risk of one of the points coming adrift and falling into the cylinder is re- duced to a minimum. A plug placed over the inlet valve keeps cleaner and cooler than one placed over the exhaust valvet and, therefore, retains its efficiency longer.

ENTERTAINMENT AT HAY. CAPITAL PROGRAMME FOR GOOD AND WORTHY CAUSE. The entertain meat giyen at the Parish Hall, Hay, on the 24th ult., was a huge success. It was organised by Mrs Ntush (Castle Street), and was started through an appeal received from Sir Arthur Pearson for the chil- dren of our blinded soldiers and sailors, who asked for lielp towards a fund which had been started to pro- vide a weekly payment of 5/- for every child of these brave men, until each child reached the age of 16 years. A party of local ladies and gentlemen were eager to do their bit on behalf of the children of our blinded heroes. The first part of the programme con- sÙited of a variety entertainment, and the party had a splendid reception. The ladies were attired in white dresses, with black corslets and yellow ribbon on the waist and hair, which were prettily made by Miss Sim- kins, the black corslets being supplied by Miss Ked- wards. The gentlemen were in evening dress. Appended is the programme:—"Who and what are we?" sang by the party, and composed by Mr David Stephens (Tylau); song, Miss Una Baker; duet, Messrs. T. Pugh and I. Jones; recitation, Mr F. Darling: chorus, the partv; recitation, MMs Muriel Marwood; 6on», Mr B. Powell; duet". Mrs Nash and Mr Wil- liama; recitation, Miss Dorothy Baker; song, Mr T. Pugh: part-song, the party; song, Misia G. Price; song, Miss Una Baker. The accompanist was Mi-ss K. Ked- wards, who discharged her duties in her usual effective etyle. Part 2 included a domestic farce, entitled "My Wife's Relations," which was brimful of fun, and con- sisted of the following characters "Mr Benjamin Buffing" (a retired chandler). Mr B. Powell (postmas- ter); "Mrs Buffins" (his wife), Miss D. Baker; "Mrs Grumble" (her mother), Miss A. Simkin; "Mre Cephas Meek" (Mrs Buffin's uncle), Mr W. Williams; "Mrs Meek" (his wife), Miss Marwood; "Mr Thomas New- jrraae" (a tiller of the soil), Mr T. Pugh; "Mrs New- jn-asfi (his wife). Mrs Nash; "Dr. Titus Bigpill" (a friend of Mr Buffins), Mr Ivor Jones; "Augustus Sim-j pleton" (Mrs Buffins's constn), Mr F. Darling. Mr Buffins was a retired tallow chandler, who had taken a house about 1J miles from a railway station, and was annoyed with his wife, because of the frequent visits of her relatives. Mrs Buffins was only pleased when she had the house overflowing with visitors and her mother, )1rt; Grumble, who spent mast of her time with her daughter, constantly caused quarrela between them, and, of course, a few thrilling incidents occasion- ally took place. The first v: ;r to arrive was Augustus, who says he met], going down the street like somebody mad. Mrs Buffins begs on him to fetch him back, but he says be couldn't overtake him in a wœk. Then, come Mr and Mrs Meek. Mr Meek is very devoted to his wife, but she does not &eem to appreciate his endearing remarks, and fre- qunt¡y te)? him to hold his tongue. The next to visit Mrs Buffins were Mr and Mrs Newgrass, a very comical couple, from the country. Mr Newgrass being slightly deaf, misunderstands some of Mr Meek'* ques- tions. Mrs Newgrass reproves him for being so fool- ish, and, between them, caiLse- roar# of laughter. Mrs Buffins then asks them all to go and see the conser- vatory. While they are away Buffins returns. Dr. Bigpill calls to see him, and, as an old friend, says his only remedy for his disease was to feign madness and ,care his relations out of the house. The doctor then leaves the house. The relations, with Mrs Buffins, re- turn from the conservatory and are surprised to find Buffins in the house and looking very ill. He feigns madnes. and scares them all so much that they call for their boxes. Each one performed their part admirably, and great credit 11s due to the party for taking such a keen de- light and giving such a creditable performance, in or- der to provide something for our brave men. The. party received excellent abidance with the farce from their accompanist, Miss K. Kedwards, and the splendid oum of jE17 had been sent to St. Dunstan's home, London, for the -blind soldiers' and sailors' children. A vote of thanks was proposed bv Mr W. E. Stephens (Cattle Street) to the Rev. J. J. de Winton, who had let the party have the use of the hall at such a small charge-also, to the party and accompan- ist, who had worked so hard and been so faithful at the practices. This was seconded by Mr David Stephens (Tylau). The pleasant evening was brought to a close by the singing of "God save the King."

Builth Rural Tribunal. A GRADE 3 MAN REFUSED EXEMPTION. Builth Rural Tribunal met on the 27th ult. There -were present Messre. Roger Evwi6 (chairman), David Davies (Poityn), Rees Jones, David Davies (Brynhaul), Roger Powell, W. W. Lennard (clerk), O. Samuel (ag- ricultural representative), C. W. Woosnam (represen- tative of the National Service Recruiting Authority), and Col. King Hunter. There were seven cases for hearing. Isaac Price appealed for the conditional exemption of John Rees Edwards, 23, class A, Glanrhidunfr, Llan- wrtyd, waggoner and ploughman. He stated that he kept 23 head of cattle, 200 sheep, and had 12 acres of land to plough. provi.d.i. ng a-PP,'l,- Conditional exemption was grantoed, providing appel- 1a.nt secured a certificate from the War Agricultural Committee, Brecon. William Timothy Evans, 18, Nanturydu, Uanwrtyd, waggoner and shepherd, was appealed for by Mr Wm. Evans, who said that Evans was the only man em- ployed on his farm. He previously had one son, but he had left. since the war began. Conditional exemption was granted. Mr J. J. Williams, Cefnllan, appealed for Rees Morgan Williams, waggoner, 18, single, of Ofnllan, Llangam- march. He stated that Williams and a discharged sol-, dier were all the men employed upon his- farm of 300 acres, 20 of which he had to plough. He also had 350 sheep, 25 head of cattle, and 6 horses on the farm. Mr Woosnam: The discharged man cannot plough? Appellant: No, sir, he looks after the cattle. Conditional exemption was given. Conditional exemption was also granted to Edward Watson, 18, single, clog block maker, Post Office Ter- race, Garth. Mr Henry Powell, Garth, who appealed, stated that the man was indispensable to him in turn- ing out Government orders. Cvril Garnet Williams, 18, waggoner and general farm hand, Erwhengel, Gwenddwr, near Builth, was ap- pealed for by Mr William Richards, who stated that his farm was 110 acres, 15 of which he had been called upon to plough. He did not hold the usual voucher for the man. Conditional exemption wa* given, Mr O. Samuel (agricultural representative) undertaking t. get the voucher from Brecon. Mr Price, sub-postmaster and farmer, Garth, appeal- ed for his son, John James Price, aged 37, class 3, single. He stated that his son was the only man em- ployed on the farm, his duties being ploughing and looking after the stock. Mr Woosnam: You have two other sons serving? Appellant: Yes, sir. Mr Woosnam: This is your eldest son? Appellant: Yes, sir. Mr Woosnam: When was he last examined? Appellant: I am not quite certain of the date. Mr Woosnam: How much land have you to plough? Appellant: Eleven acres, sir. Mr Woosnam: How much stock do you keep? Appellant: 13 head of cattle, 7 horses and 43 ewes. Mr Woosnam: Who is going to plough this 15 acres? Appellant: My son, sir. I have only got him to de: pend upon. Mr Woosnam: Do you know that your application is out-of-date? Appellant: No, sir, I have been misled on account of my son's, low medical category. Mr Woosnam: The application is out-of-date and out of order. The tribunal has no right in this case to grant exemption. If they do go, they do it on their own responsibility. The tribunal must decide what course they will pursue in the face of my contention. The tribunal unanimously agreed to grant conditional exemption. Ivor Evans, 23, single, grade 3, bootmaker and re- airer, Hazeldene, Oaklands, Builth, applied for ex- mption on the grounds of ill-health. He stated that io had been twice rejected, but was medically •xamined last December, and classified grade 3. At present he was employed at the Post Office as auxiliary poi-tman for about three hours a day. Mr Woosnam: And what do you do with yourself the rest of the day ? Appellant: I do what I can. Mr Woosnam: This is a clear case. There are thousands of grade 3 men in the Army doing useful work. Why shouldn't this man make one more? The application for exemption was not granted.

CYCLING. I The American Army Bicycles. I The specification for the bicycles to be used by the United States Army have now been published, and dis- play borne curious and interesting features. The moat singular is the gear, which is to be just over 80. One does not envy the lot of a soldier, with full kit, who has to push an 80 gear along. Even with 7-inch cranks (aank length is not given) his lot will be far from a 1 ippy one. The standard height of frame is 22 in., that the machine will be within reach of soldiers of heights, a much better plan than the Brit- 1 Army standard of 24 in., which makes riding a difficulty to a short-legged man. 28 in. wheeLa and 1) in. tdngJe-tube tyres are specified—the latter show- ing how little the Americans understand European con- ditions. The wheel-base is 43 in., an inch shorter than what is general in this country, and too short tn my opinion. Also, the double top tube is utilised-a pure encumbrance. On a 22 in. frame there is no excuse for a double top tube, and frankly I doubt whether this conces.sion to appearance is of the slightest use, even in very high-framed machines. A tube from the top of the head to the hack hub is a strengthening feature, but what strength can there be in a tube whose base is diagonal on another tube. Anyone should know that the strength of tubing is longitudinal, and not across it", width. All joints are to be liquid-brazed, and that is the soundest practice in the whole specifica- tion, which does not strike me as overwhelmingly practical. The Inventor of the Bicycle. I In connection with a case which is now being tried, I the claim is again being advanced that Harry J. Law- I son i., the inventor of the modern bicycle. The claim ha.s no real foundation. It is true that Lawson patented some sort of a bicycle about 1878, in which he simply reversed the relative p06itions of the two wheels of the high bicycle, which WM then universa1" seakd the rider between the two, and arranged his steering on the small (n6w) front wheel. The driving wa.s by long levers on the large back wheel. He fail- ed to make a practical success of it, and the patent was gradually forgotten, until he found it desirable to ressurect it for his company promotions. The real in- ventor of the bicycle was Kirkpatrick Mae mil lan, away back in the forties. The inventor of the modern bicycle was the late Mr J .K. Starley, who, in 1885, introduced the Rover safety, the machine "that set the fashion to the world." Some 15 years ago a strong committee, with the late Mr J. C. Parkinson, of the "World," as treasurer, and Mr R. T. Lang as secre- tary, was formed to commemorate Mr Starley's inven- tion, and a triennial scholarship, under the control of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, was the result. Every third year a prize is given for- the best ebsay on road locomotion, and, possibly, through this we may discover still more vital improvements in the easiest method of getting about. Another Old Cyclist Cone. Cyclists of the old brigade will hear with infinite re- great of the death of Harry J. Swindley. Away back in the eighties and nineties he was a powerful force in cycling, as the London correspondent of "The Cyclist." In later years, he trended more towards motoring, and there is no doubt that it was his intense devotion to the beist interests of the twin methods of locomotion that brought about the serious illness of three years ago, which has now resulted fatally. He was a writer of flambouyant English, with a fine touch of sarcasm, an enthusiast in all he undertook, honest in all his opinions, and a generous-hearted friend. Of none of the old brigade may it be better written—"He was a good fellow, and 'twill all be well."

MOTORING. A Motorists' Protection Association. I For a long time it has been evident that a society of some sort or another to look after the interests of motor- owners was very badly needed. Mr H. E. Sanderson, 42 Howard Road, South Norwood, London, S.E. has volunteered to assist in the formation of such an asso- ciation, and he is prepared to undertake the arranging of a meeting, to act as secretary pro. tem., and to compile a register of membership. The idea is to hold a preliminary meeting in London at an early date, to

BUILTH COUNCIL. WORKMEN'S WAGES INCREASED. USE OF MAGISTRATES' ROOM. Mr John Duggan pre.sidoo over a meeting of Builth L'rban CounciJ at the Magistrates' Room on Thurs- day. Others present were Messrs. E. S. Davies, J. Morris, H. T. Price, G. Eadie, T. Worthington, Dr. Black Jones (medical officer), W. W. Lennard (clerk), and the surveyor, Mr Telfer Smith. A letter was read from the Builth Welle Gas and Coke Company, in which they fltated that they were about to make an application to the Board of Trade for permission to raise the price of gas to 7/- per 1,000 cubic feet. Mr H. T. Price: I don't think it itS the Gas Company's' intention to raise the price at present. Mr Eadie: They are only making an application to get the neoessary power to raise th-a price. Another letter was also read from Mr Tulk, who asked that certain stipulations should be made con- cerning the gas supply of the town. After discussing the matter for a short time, a proposition waa put forward by Mr Eadie, namely that the council con- sidered Mr Tulk's demands reasonable, and accepted them. This proposition was carried unanimously. France's Day. Another letter was read by the clerk, from Mr P. CoUier, who had been instructed to write and ask the council of Builth if they could make a special effort to organise a local fund for France's Day. Mr Duggan: We gave them a day last year and I think we ought to give them another one this time. Mr Eadie: I have every sympathy with the move- ment, and I propose that a house-to-house collection should be made, as well as the ordinary flag day. A resolution was then passed in which it was unan- imously decided that the flag day should be observed at a later date. There were several applications for small holdings, and these were recommended by the council unanim- ously Mr H. T. Price was re-appointed as the represen- tative governor on the County School Governing Body. Mr Duggan moved the motion and Mr Eadie second- ed. Workmen's Wages Increased. A letter wats. read from the council's workmen, who applied for an advance of 5/- per week in their wages, owing to the increased cost of living. An application was also received from the working foreman, who ap- plied for a war bonus. Mr Duggan: The application is reasonable in my opinion, especially now that food is so dear, and I think that the matter should receive our favourable consideration. Mr J. Morris: Boys of 17 are earning as much as 30 per week in the timber-trade. It was unanimously decided to grant, as a war bonus, an increase of 4/- per week all round. A letter was read from the National Institute of the Blind, St. Dunstan's, who stated that they had a concert party who were touring the country, and would probably appear in Builth in May. They asked for the support of the council. Mr Duggan This is a deserving object. I think that ii they come here and give a concert at their own isk, we should be quite willing to let them. The request was granted, and the council unanim- (jusly agreed to support, the cause. The clerk then read a letter from the Clerk of the County Council, in which it stated that the isum of jt:12 per annum was chargeable to the Builth Council for the use of the Magistrates' Room for their meetings, and also a letter from the Chief Constable which said that the sanction of the Chief Constable was to be obtained for the use of the room for council meetings, and that they (the council), should take the neoessary steps to obtain a room elsewhere. Mr Eadie: I don't think we ought to go with- out making a fuss. We are doing this work for nothing. It is a lot of "red tape," and I think we ought to kick against it. I propose that we give authority to the clerk to write to the Chief Constable and point out to him that the room is idle and only used occasionally. He thought it was an imposition to ask them to pay £ 1 for a meeting, 10/- was quite sufficient, and, also, to point out to the Chief Con6table that they rated the building, and that they thought it intolerant on their part to act in such a manner. He was willing to .stretch a point and pay 10/- for each council meet- ing. In the meantime they would look out for new rooms. Mr T. R. Worthington seconded the proposition as put forward by Mr Eadie, and the motion was unanimously agreed to. A Builth Hero. Mr Duggan said that he would like to say a few words about Mr Ivor Pugh, the 'Builth hero, who was returning home next week. He proposed that they should send him a let.ter of congratulation, as he was sure that he had brought the town a very distinguished honour. Up to the present time the government had not done much for him, and if a concert could be ar- ranged in his honour, he was sure that all the towns- people would be pleased to support it. He suggested that Mr A. P. Morgan, of the Philharmonic Society, should be approached with a view to making arrange- ments for the concert. This suggestion was carried unanimously.

COUGHS, COLDS, BRONCHITIS. GUANDPAKENTS, PARENTS & CHILDREN ALL CURED BY VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mr T. H. Puntis, 27, Addaide Road, St. Dtnys, Southampton, says :—"We first used Veno's for one of our girls, then a blaby. She had very severe bronchitis, was fairly gasping for breath, yet Veno's soon cured 'her completely. After that we used Veno's for ourselves and all the family.

I A sound business organisation to protect the irywi-- I ests of all private parties. ) Poliey. I 1 To combat the anti-motor prejudice of a large section of the puplic press, and the public clamour re- 6ulting therefrom. 2 To resist excessive taxation. 3. To fight the petrol trusts or other rings or societies, which are "up against" the interests of pri- vate motorists generally. 4. To take prompt action against the suppression of private utility motoring. 5. To prevent the imposition of unreasonable re- strictions in the future. 6 To urge the Government to utilise the revenue de- rived from motor taxes for its legitimate purpose-the improvement of roads. Those to whom the scheme appeals should get into touch at once with Mr Sanderson, and promise him their support. The Speed of Trailers. I The Commercial Motor Users' Association, 83, Pall Mall, S. W.. 1, recently represented to the Local Govern- ment Board the expediency of allowing the legal speed of a motor vehicle, when drawing a trailer used only to carry a gas container, to be such as if no trailer were drawn, in order that the use of coal gas should be encouraged, with a view to securing greater economy in the consumption of petrol. The association has now been officially notified by the Board that the regula- tions at present governing the use of trailers have been relaxed by the issue of a new Order. Such trailers are now legal without a sacrifice of the speeds re- spectively applicable to the commercial motor which draws them, provided the unladen weight of the trailer does not exceed 15 ewt., and that all its, wheels are fitted with pneumatic or solid rubber tyres. The con- tainers may be of the gas bag or any other type.
