PROFITEERING COMPLAINT AT BANGOR. HUXGRY AFTER A MEAL. The first ca^se of alleged profiteering came before the Bangor Profiteering Tri- bunal on Friday igl-it. Alderman T. J. Williams presided, and the other members present were: The Mayor i)l' R. J. Wil- liams), Mrs Orton, Mr Gumming; and Mr T. E. Taylor, with the Clexk (.\1r Ernest Roberts). The complaint was against Mrs Evans, Old London House, High-street. Bangor, and it was laid by Mr John Longheed, of Brynyneuadd, Llanfairfechan. The following letter, dated October 6th, from Mr Longheed, was read by the Clerk I wish to draw your committee's attention to what I consider a glaring case of profiteering which occurred in your city to-day. Accompanied by a friend I en- tered the premises of Mr Evans. 299. HigTi- street, and asked for plain tea with jam. I received a small pot of tea holding about one pint (20 ounces), approximately six ounces of buttered bread, one once of sugar, two ounces of milk, and two ounces of jam, the total cost of which, even allow- •Jig for present prices and fair profit, ought not to have exceeded Is 4d. but for which I was charged 2s 8d. The pro- prietor was very reluctant to give me a receipt, and even had the audacity to tell me that I should pay for it, which of course, I did not. I earnestly hope this comes within the scope of your com- mittee as it certainly ought.1' Mr W. U. Evans represented his wife, and in reply to the Chairman ho said he did not admit that the quantities as set forth in the compla.int were correct. On that date they had been informed that they were not on strike rations, and they oould have given their customers any quan- tity of things which were not rationed. They served tho complainant with three- quarters of a lb. of jam, a large plate of bread and butter, tea which cost him 3s a ib., together with sugar and milk, and they could have had more of the unration- ed article?, such as bread and butter, had they asked for them. The Mayor asked whether the whole of the J-lb. of jam was eaten. Mr Evans* Yes, it was all cleared. He added that the house was kept as a, tem- perance hotel, and they catered for mem- bers of the Cyclists' Touring Olub and the Automobile Union,customers who required snb"t.ant.ia.1 mea k The Mayor: Have you a fixed tariff for ■such customers? Mr Evans: We had before the war. but that was cancelled until prices are settled for the future. What we charged in this instance was what we generally charged, and everybody has been satisfied. The Chairman: What did you charge during the strike? Mr Evans: I do not know; we hardly did any business then. Mr Evans further emphasised the heavy expenses thev had to pay, such as the lioor, disitr.'et, and water rati- together with electric light-, gas, and the rent, the cost, of replacing china, (-oW.ng utensils, and the cost of a-lvertising and repairing the paper on the walls, and a host of other thing's (laughter). THREAT TO CHARGE FOR BILL. Mr Longheed informed the Tribunal that he and liis friend were hungry when they hnished the meal, but did not ask for move as they were not aware they could have had more for the ame sum. When he asked Mr Evans fpr a bill, he was very re'-uetanc, and said fie would have to charge for at as paiper was very dear .(laughter). When the waitress was asked if the charge was correct, silo said that was what she was told to charge them. Witness told mr Evans that he would sen .» the bill to the Ministry ot .frooei. Mr Evans pointed out that the wit-nes3 and his friend had a jug ot hot- water as well as tho other articles mentioned (laughter). :\11"- Ort-on thought that a, would have been a suiffcient charge for the lood sup- plied. The .Mayor coficuD-crt, and pointed out that the two men being together, only one service was required. There was no lire in the room. It, wa.s decided to request Mrs Evans to refund 8d to the cotnptamaut. The Chairman raised the question of the payment of the complainant's I arc. by :Virs Evans. 'I h,, Clerk said lie could not find any- thing in the Act authorising a committee to do that. The parties were called into the room, and (he Chairman announced that the Tri- bunal had unanimously come to the do « that the price crharged was more than sufficient to yieJo a reasonable profit, and Mrs Evans must repay Kd" to the com- plainant. The Tribunal considered that is -i lieakl would have been enough to charge for the food supplied. As they were not certain of their powers at present, they would not order Mrs Evans to refund the complainant's railway fare, but shoud they find latei- that they had power to order repayment it was possible that Mrs Evans might be called upon to do that, it be-ng the first cll.e to cmn) before tho Trl- uunal, they would not order legal pro feedings, but in future cases they wouid be more severe. The Clerk pointed out- that if the de- fendant was not satisfied with the decision he could «Pl>eal within three days. sioil Mr Evans (to the Tribunal): Will you t-ike tho money from me The Mayor: It is complainant who is to have tlie money. Mr Evans (to the complainant): Can you give me 4d change And next tunc you come, ask for the prices, pleflse (laughter). I NO PROFITEERING EXCURSIONS The Cleik to the Bangor Tribunal 11as received a reply from the Board of Trade Protiteering Act Department, to the follow- ing questions by him-— (a) Whether mem- bers of such committees aro entitled to be paid for loss of time in altendmo- tjie committees and raUw&y farM? (b?Wh". ii- i tnes?se, l'  at a distaiiec are i?lli- ther witnesses living at a d..st?nco arc ?- titled to have their runway fares refunded The Department ropbcd Mm,t Uie ex- penses of a locaJ committee appointed- by the local authority are to be defrayed out of the local rates, and. under these eireum- ctanocs any payment to witnesses to meet expenses incurred in attending the local committee is a matter for the decision of the local committee. it was. however, suggested Oiat any giant made to witnesses to cover their ex- penditure should be limited to witnesses actually summoned to attend the hearing of the complaint by the committee, as otherwise ixiople might lodge unjustifiable complaints for the purpose of having ft cheap excursion. As regard" members ot the local committee, the Act expressly provides that the expenses in either easl}-- viz., locari committees or appeal tribunals —may include such payments to chairmen and members of committees and tribunal in respect of their Joss of time and tra- velling expenses as appears to tho Board cf Trade reasonable and is approved Fty the Treasury.

THE LATE OWEN [ RHOSCOMYL. I INTERMENT AT RIlYL. I More than usual iutercet was evinced in Rhyl on Saturday, in connection with the funeral of the talc Colonel Arthur Owen Yaughan, DS.O., D.C.M., the distinguished soldier and Welsh national writer, better known in Wales as "Owen Khosconiyl." Great interest WAS locally arou.-cd Ly tho announcement that the Ixxly would lie brought, to Rhyl for interment-. Many inquiries wera made a-: to the gallant, soldier's connection, with the district, but ik one appear.' to bo able to explain the choice of this town for iii, final resting place. It appear that the relatives were acting in accordance with the wish of the deceased that he should be buried at Rhyl, although others have ventured tlia suggestion that as it was believed the de- ceased was born at Rhod, near Ruthin, there had been some confusion in the i. lmes. How- ever, as soon as the announcement was made that the funeral was to take place at Rhyl Councillor John Brookes, J.P., as Chairman of the Council, decided that it wo)ild be but fitting that such a distinguished Welsh writer should be honoured, and accordingly the mem- bers and officials of the Council were invited to bo present- at the funeral a. the governing body of the town. The body was brought by train from London, and was met at the sta- tion by the Chairman and mrmhers of the Rhyl Urban District Council, the Town Clerk and officials, and a large number oi well- known residents. Thee:) hundrcÜ men from the Cheshiro Regiment stationed at Kinniel (in charge of Lieut. Mackay Siuith"1 formed tho guard of honour, and firing pat., tho coffin being borne on a gun carriage awl was covered with "X Ddraig Coch." It lIas ob. served that the Union Jack was absent, so that the Welsh nation was directly represent- ed. Lieut. Cordon, R.A.S.C., was in eharg-a of the gun carriage, whilt) the other military arrangements were carried out by Captain Pearce, M.C. The funeral cortege made an imposing spec- tacle as it, passed through the streets to Sf. Thomas' Church, where there was a largo congregation. The chief mourners were Mrs Vaughan (widow), and her fcur children, ami Captain II. M. Webb, of Chirk (representing Lord and Lady Howard de Walden, who wero amongst the deceascd's most intimate trienrl). The pall bearers were Captain Cooper, M.C., Gap-tain Hurst, Captain LiuJsdJ, Lieut. Sing- er, and Lieut EHise.i. It had been intended that the whole of the service at St. Thomas' Church should Id conducted in Welsh, tout. this arrangement could not be carried through at such short notice, it difficult to fret. a WelFli choir together. The scrvxc was partly in -English and partly in Welsh, and was conducted by tho Veil. Archdeacon Thomas UoJd (vicar>. The hymns in church were "Christ will gather in 11 is"own" and "Jesu, Lover of My Soul. As the mourners left the church Mr Bryan F. Warhurst played Cfeopin's Funeral March on the organ. The interment was at the Church Cemetery, •in.i after the committal prayers the tiring party discharged a volley and the buglers sounded the "Last Post." On the coffin plate the deceased was described as "Colonel Arthur Owen Yaughan, D.S.O., D.C.M., died 15th October, 1919, aged M years." The floral tributes included a wreath of white chrysan- themums from the widow and one of pink chrysanthemums from the children. LoiJ and Lady Howard do W.ilden each sort a wreath, and the others were from the propri- etors of the TWs<er» M'fif (the deceased be- ing a regular contributor to ilic .I that. paper); "with deep sorrow," Mr II.

I SECONDARY EDUCATION IN WALES. I FORTHCOMING CONFERENCE AT HIiYL. The (h'partment?! committce (,,f ,y/¡kh ih, I Hon. W.N.?fuce is chairman) appointed by the President of the Hoar.1 uf Education to inquire into the organisation of secondary education in Wales has held three preliminary meetings. As the object aimed at is the promotion of a national system, its work should be of the. greatest hiLeji'^t to tho inhabitants of the Principality. The committee is anxious to get effectively into touch with the public and obtain first, hand information. Local education authori- ties, school governing bodies and other bodies interested in Welsh education have been invit- ed to set down on paper their considered views on the questions which will be submit* ted by the committee, following on which it is proposed tfrat repre. cntntive persons at- tend their meetings and ass^t the committee by oral evidence to understand and appreciate fully the various proposals put forward. To a third and more novel method the com- mittee attach great importance. It is to arrange public conferences in Wales at which the committee will attend and listen to 1h0 public discussion of questions bearing on the subject of the inquiry. The organisation of sucli conferences will be left to the local edu- cation authorities it is intended to serve, and in their first approach the overtures of the committee have been received with the most cordial and helpful co-operation. The first conference will be held at Cardiff oil November 14Mi, and will enable persons interested in education from lilaniorgan, Monmouthshire, and the adjoin¡n6" OOll!llir,-5 lu lay their virus before the committee The. second conference will, it b hoped, be held in Khyl, towards tho end of November, and no doubt- the committee call count oil tho same cordial r<vpoosc from the Flintshire NIL- cation authorities aiitt the neighbouring auth- or 0. Kviii.-jgiishirc and other North Wales authorities a,s they have received from Glam- organ. The committee have- drawn up a list riC topics for discussion. They wiU have it t<j the local education authority to add other topics of special local interest. It is hoped that anyone desirous of expro sing his on her views on any of the questions will attend at one of the conferences and lake the op- portunity thus offered.

PARLIAMENT I RE-ASSEMBLES. I VITAL QUESTIONS DEMAND I ATTENTION. j Parliament assembled on Wednesday for a momentous two months of debate and decision. From now until Christmas a series of vital questions will demand atten- tion. Tba Cabinet expect to place oil the Statute Book measures ajinin^ at the fol- lowing objects:- A Joint Industrial Couiiilll iiide statutory powers. A maximum working week of 48 hours and a minimum living wage rai aJ: manuai w oi keiis. Purchase of miffiiig royalties. Prohibition of dumping and protection of key industries. Development and control of electric and water power supply. Appovnt-mont of Commission to exercise certain powers of Liquor Central Control. Aliens Restriction Bill. An amendment will bo moved to make it compulsory that no person, firm, or company shall employ aliens without official sanction to the ex- tent of more than 25 per cent.; rvnd another seeks to prohibit former enemy aliens from holding land or trading in tdxis country. It is expected that the Govern- mcnt will go a considerable way to meet these two amendments. t

MOTOR NOTES. F LESSONS OF THE PARIS SHOW. P (By J. P. Holland.) l The Jirst. post-war motor show is a matter I of history, aud visitors returning from tho French capital arc able to comparc notes as to the exhibits they saw and the evi- dences of development in the motor move- ment during the past five years. At the outset it is only fair to state that- the Paris show was not a disappointment, simply because people were not looking for any great developments nor radical changes as compared with the last Stloii in 1913. The fact that there was a show at all wa evidence enough of the vitality of the industry which for five long years has been diverted from, the business of making motor cars to the job of turning out. munitions of war. Every factory has been more or less topsy-turvy as a motor factory; old machinery has been scrapped, detail methods of production have been side traced to make way for munitions, and thousands of extra hands have been employed w hos- services would be costly and useless in the production of motor ears. The first gratifying result as s hown by tiie exhibits at Parish, th^efojre, was tho evidence that the motor industry of the Continent NN-a, once more afoot, and in a fair way towards resuscitation. With this the public and the trade were perforce obliged to be satisfied, and incidentally to surmise from the exhibits themselves the future trend of the business. Speaking geiierally-for one can haily go into lpinute details in dealing wit-li uc-li a composite subject—it is evident that the experience in aero-engine building is bound to have a permanent effect on the future of motor car construction. This was sh own in a dozen notable exhibits, and will probably be more emphasised before another show comes around. The tendency to exaggerated values, as shown by the absurd prices pa.id for ,-eeond- hand care at auction, was further exc-nip' fied in the number and variety of cars selling at over a, thousand pounds. While this may be well enough as a matter of pohcy in the way of making hay whi!e the sun shines, still it is open to question whether it. would not be more advisable to pay attention to the production of cars ranging in juice from £(;00 downwards, instead of vying for the production of cars de luxe-at least as to price. America' s ascendancy in the output of motor ears is the result of cultivating the medium priced and cheaper grades of car. In the not distant future, when the present ex- cessive demand shall have been satisfied, it is inevitable that many finns who are now marking their output in prices of four figures will be glad enough to enter into oomjx>titioii with others who are and have been making more moderate priced vehicies. The multiplication of cylinders is an- othcr phase of the trend of events which the Paris Salon has illustrated. As mx cylinders have been proved superior to four, it would seem only natural that- eight or twelve should establish a similar ascendancy over six. But again the ques- tion of cost of production comes in. And witli f-le. future in mind, the maker who looks for a permanent business will bo apt to go s low in this respect. Perhaps the most "impOJiant develop- ment exhibited at Paris is the result of the universal adoption of the electric light- ing and self-starting device, and the con- sequent doom of the magneto. With an e!e<-tric battery as part ot the primary in- stailaiiou of a car it is merely a matter of mechanical adaptation to substitute this method of electric generation for the more costly magneto. And it remains to be seen if inventive genius will be capab!e of adopt- ing tli method of ignition to the cheaper a., to the most expensive cars. J.P.H. J. P. H. R.AC. TRIALS. 1 wo interesting official triaJs are now in progress under the auspices of the Royal Automobile Club. The ten thou- sand miles tc.-t of the Rapson tyre has commenced, and the tyre is now covering its third weekly mileage of one thousand. The car "being used ior the test is a Rolls- Royce and the trial is being watched by .motorists with much interest. The new tyre is the iii vent ion of Mr F. Lionel Rap- son. who has introduced several rtvolu- tionnrv devices to the motoring world. It is claimed to be unpuncturable, and has a'ready emerged from private tests quit-o triumphantly in this respect. 'Phe R. A. C. ha YC aho under official (lb- servation tho ten thousand mile test of ben- z.)I". the fuel being put forward by the National BCIlLOle Association. By the courtesy of Mr Lionel Rapson, this trial is also being conducted on the Roll". R-oyco car on which the Rapson tyre is being tested. The engine of the Rolls- Royce was completely dismantled, and its exact condition recorded before the benzole trial commenced, and at its conclusion it will again be dismantled that the R.A.C. experts may determine exactly what effect the new fue; may have on the vari ous parts. GODWARD CARBURETTOR TRIAL. 1 The Royal Automobile Club recently eubjected the new Godward carburettor to an official trial, and have now issued their certificate upou its efficiency. The eertifi- cate Stiov, s than two Godward carburetton were fitted to two four-seater Ford cacs. cars were standard except that in both cases the standard induction pipe mani- fold was replaced, apparently for conven- ience iu positioning the carburettor by a pipe 1-1 whIch the main uptake was not sjmmetiically between the branch arms. There were no means to enable the driver to adju-fc the pctrol or air whI' c driving. The l'nad tra .'erseo. was London to Land's End and back, going by Andover, Ikhes- ter, Exeter, Launccston, and Bodmin, and returning by Truro, Tavistock, Exeter. and Shaftesbury. The total distance was 5Si. mi tea. The average running speed wat 19.8 miles per hour. The weather through- out was hot iind the roads on the average were good. During the trial the dutch was not withdrawn when descending hills. No work, either n pair or adjustment, was done to either of tihe carburettors during the trial. The engines of both cars started with ease at all times without flooding the carburettor. No water was put into tho radiators of either of the cars during bhe trial. The running weights of the two cars A and B were as follows:—Car A Total running weight, 23061b. petrol consumption 26.S2 unlet- per gallon. Car B. Total running weight, 2229 lb.; petrol consumption 29.1 miles per gallon. THE MODERN MOTOR CYCLE. I The Timts correspondent writes a.n in- teresting article upon the "Modern Motor Cycle, which, he explains, is rapidly bc- ccffmng a oar on two wheels. The in creasing weight, moreover, is becoming ;t disturbing factor In 1902 he covered many thousands of miles on a l £ h. v. mount which weighed wefl under 80 lbs. in touring trim, and or-iy used one gallon of petrol for considerably more than 200 mile Seventeen years later the Jighto.it motor cycle scaled f-ome two v.-wt. Manu- facturers are obviously making machines adaptable for side-car use and it naturally follow s tha.t tho machines must be made both weightier and of bigger h.p. Even the Solo': machine is a good many lbs. heavier than the earlier makes, and it is just possible that the motor car designer will lind it rather IJarJ to resist tho temp- tation of installing a self-contained elec- t-tic light installation, including dynamos and accunmiaioi.s, a: d this may not re far I XO PETROL CONTROL. The somew hat ambiguous order is-ued by the Board of TV&de revoking the Order Nc. 2 in respect of petrol prices is ex- plained by an official of the Board as cancelling an previous orders. There is now no restriction on the price of rdrol. I WHEN A TRIOYGLK BECOMES A 1 MOTORCAR.
