PONTARDAWE ECONOMIES !
PONTARDAWE ECONOMIES Poundage Payment of Rate Collectors to End. "I i n-e l'ontardawe Guardiaus spent iseveral lio-urs 011 Thursady in considering recommendations by the Finance Com- mittee in regard to the rate collectors, The matter had arisen on account of the death of Mr. David James, superin- tendent rate collector, of Alltwe-n. Mr. H. J. Powell, J.P., presided. Statistics relating to the remuneration of the col- lectors on the poundage system were laid before the committee, a.nd it was decided to discontinue that system. The increases, according to the poundage system, had been out of proportion to the additional work consequent upon the increase in rateable values. The committee suggested that no altera- tion be made in the three collecting dis-I tricts of Llanguicke. This clause gave rise to much discussion. Several lllem-I bers wito advocated retrenchment main- ,tainl-d that the work could be done by two collectors, and in this way a sum could be saved annually. Mr. Herbert, (ribbon, chairman of the Finance Committee, who handled the re- port in a masterly manner, maintained that the work could be done more efficiently and expeditiously by three col- lectors. This view wais held by a large majority of the members, and the clause was approved of. Unsuitable for Women. I It was decided that Mr. Tom Morgan CVstalyi'era) should he. appointed the superintendent rate collector at a salary of no per year. Other clauses approve.1 of were that the person appointed to the vacant position for the Portardawe ch* trict should agree to provide an office in an approved position at l'ontardawe. No age limit was recommended for the post, and the- committee considered that the area and duties was hardiy suitable for a woman ofifcer. In regard to the new scale of salaries suggested for all the collectors, It. was de- cided that the present collectors be given an opportunity ot appearing eforc the Finance Committee in ord-er to show what expenses were incurred by them in regard to collections.

ON THE TIGRISi
ON THE TIGRIS OUR MESOPOTAMIA SUCCESS. I ENEMY'S ELABORATE AND MODERN MINES AND TRENCHES. I BRITISH LOSSES UNDER 500 Press Bureau, Thursday, 8.50 p.m.—The Secretary of State for India communi- cates the following connected account of the recent operations on the Tigris:— On the 27uh, the position of the enemy on both banks of the Tigris seven miles below Kut-cl-Amara was reconnoitred and their giiiis located by our artillery. Gen- eral Fry's Brigade entrenched itself in a position about 3.500 yards in front of the pnemy's left centre, and our heavy guns were moved into position behind Fry's Brigade. At dusk. General Delrunain with his own and General Hoghton's Brigades crossed the Tigris by a boat bridge which we had constructed to the left bank, with a Hew to enveloping and attacking the enemy's extreme left at dawn on the 28th. Our casualties on the tith and 27th amounted to lib in all, chiefly from shell fire, while our captures were one officer and a.=> men to ken by the 7th Lancers during a reconnaissance. A Gallant Assault. On the 28Lh the Turkish position on the left; bank, which stretched for several miles, wa.s attacked by General Delamain. The northern end of the defences was carried at 10 a.m. by a gallant assault, and by 2 p.m. the, remainder of this posi- tion was in our ha.nds after much opposi- tion. The Turks fought with the greatest tenacity, and had to be dislodged trench by trench. Their losses in dead Avere. very severe, and the trenches were full of corpses. Several hundred prisoners and some guns were captured, also many rifles and quantities of ammunition. The attacking force then moved for- ward to a second position in which the enemy had been penned all day by Fry's Brigade, but, darkness falling, the troops bivouacked for the night. During the fighting, the outer flank was guarded by armoured motor cars and cavalry, who were engaged with the Turkish cavalry all day. Reinforcements Routed. In a later report it is stated that during the night of the 2-Sih-29t.h General Dela- main. when moving to attack the fear of the enemy's second position, became aware of strong Turkish reinforcements inarch- ing parallel to him. He attacked and routed these after severe lighting, captur- ing four guns. On the morning of the 29th the enemy's position was found unoccupied, while aeroplane reconnaissance showed the Turks in flight by river and road to- wards Bagdad. Our cavalry entered Kui-el-Amara and the gunboats moved ou in pursuit, fol- lowed by General Townshc-nd with the leading infantry brigade in steamers. One of our aeroplanes succeeded in dropping bombs on a large enemy steamer. The total of prisoners captured up to 1 date is 650, but more are coming in. Modern Trench System. I An inspection of the captured position shows that the defences were designed and constructed with remarkable thor- oughness and study of detail, and on the latest and. most approved principles Communication trenches extended for miles. Ranges were marked by flags. Arrangements were made for covering the retirement of troops and their embarka- tion. There was an elaborate system of observation and contact mines, a num- ber of which were exploded by our engi- neers without accident, but severe casual- ties were caused by mines during the action. The field of fire was everywhere absolutely open and flat. Nur Eddin Pasha's forces during the late battle consisted of six squad rons of cavalry. 26 guns, and the 3;,th and aSth Infantry Regiments, with some other for. mations. aggregating some four extra battalions His totol force is estimated to have been some 7,000 to 8,000 regular troops, assisted by a considerable num her of tribesmen. Of our wounded a "PrgP portion are only slightlj injuied, and as a whole are doing well. The health and spirits of the troops are excellent. The weather during the last two weeks has been decidedly cooler. Our casualties are believed to be under 500, including 20 officers.

STUDENTS IN THE DARK. I Amman Valley Managers Criticise County Committee. The failure of the Carmarthenshire Education Committee to fulfil its promise of having several schools in the Amman Valley group well lighted for purposes of evening continuation classes gave rise to strong remarks at the meeting of the Amman Valley Managers on Thursday afternoon, Mr. J. Harries (Irlwvn) pro siding. It was intimated that the com- mittee had requested its chairman (AId. W. N. Jones) to report upon the Man- agers' recommendation for the installa- tion of electric light at the Tycroes School but no mention was made of the Saron and Penygroes schools, also included. Mr. Thomas Morgan protested, remark- ing it hat tho matter was being continually thrown aside by the committee. The mining and continuation classes suire-red as a result, teachers having to rush about for glasses, wicks, and paraffin for the lamps during the time that should be devoted to instruction. The Chairman said they asked the Education Committee six months ago to consider the advisability of installing electric. light at those schools, and, although ample time ha.d tlyis been given them, they were again without light; and yet tho electric mains ran quite near the schools. In the end, it was resolved to wge the. committee to install electric light for school purposes without d(jay at. the Penygroes, Tycroeg, and Saron school* The End of the Saarch—" Economite." Tho search for an ideal foot covering has readier a conclusion with the inven- bon of Economite." Whatever improve- ments take place in the future they will lie mere modifications of Economite." Because "Ecolloinite H not only repro- duces all that is I)c-\st in leather (which has held the held for so long), but it has many good qualities not- possessed by tho hast leather. So far leather alone has possessed the property of combining dura- bility with a fair degree of resi«vunce to wet penetration and a certain amount of flexibility and lightness. An Economite Experiment. But Economite beats leather on its merits. Take resistance to the action of water. Everyone kuows that while to an ordinary amount of damp a leather sole, is impervious, a thorough soaking makes it soft, limp, and pulpy. Anyone may test this very easily by leaving a piece of com- mon sole leather overnight in water. In tho morning it will .lie quite soft and tripey." But you could leave an Economite sole in the wassr for a month and it would be of jus; the same consistence as when first placed in. While leather is comparatively waterproof, "Economite is absolutely and positively impervious to the penetration of moisture. For the Boys. tulate you on the production of such a. material."—A.S.

It appears that mairt has been left by Xature somewhat badly handicapped in this respect. Time wa*, the evolutionists say, that his ancestors lived in trees and then his feet served more the purpose of another pair of hands, j Consequently man has not developed a protective covering like the horae or tho do?. The tender surfaces of his soles must have a protection of sufficient thickness to prevent small inequalities such as pclv- bles. etc., from injuring them.
