SAME CYCLE FOR 11 YEARS. I The demand for cycles continues to be I enormous, for the public has realised that, in the case of a good bicycle, at any rate, the Drst cost is all the cost. Mr. J. R. Nash, of Maiden House, Wind- I sor, has just completed eleven years of riding the same machine, a Raleigh, and after continuous use it is still in excel- lent condition. Indeed, it is practically an impossibility to wear out a high-grade bicycle, and for this reason a machine liko the Th leigh becomes an exceedingly cheap one to ride.

I BILL TO CHECK I PROFITEERS. ■- —1 »—»■■■■« For Six Months. I The new ProMecring Bill, the draft of which was issued by the Government last night, gives full püwr to the Board oi I Trade to appoint and control the tri- bunals. Failure to comply with any Order made may involve a fine of £ 50 or one month's imprisonment. For the offence of pro- fiteering, a 6np of £OO and (or) six months' imprisonmeht can be imposed. In other respects the Bill foHow)= the lines | ain-ady indicated'bv Sir Auckland Geddes in his recent evidence before the Select Committee. t POWERS OF THE BILL. The '13111 to Check Profiteering" refers to unreasonable profit," and pro- vides that the Board of Trade shall have power, in respect of any article to which tli,? Act applies:— (1). To investigate prices, costs and profits, and for that purpose to req ui ra any person to appear before them and to furnish such information and produce such documents as they may require; and (2) To receive and investigate com- plaints ihat a profit is being or has been made or sought, on the sale of the article (whether wholes'e or retail), which is, in view of all the circumstances, unreason- able. On any such complaint they may, after hearing the parties— Declare the price which would yield a reasonable profit; and Require the seller to repay to the com- plainant any amount paid by the com- plainant in excess of such priee; or Require the complainant to purchase I the article at sueh price. FINES. I In lieu of making such an Order, the Board of Trade, where they think the circumstances of the case require it, take proceedings against the seller before a court of summary jurisdiction, and if, in such proceedings, it is found that the price charged or demanded by the seller is such as to yield to him a profit which is. in view of all the circumstances, un- reasonable, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding two hundred pounds, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months. If any person fails to comply with an Order of the Board of Trade under this section, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £ 50 or to imprisonment for a term not exceed- ing one month. RIGHT OF APPEAL. I The measure lays down a right of ap- peal by the seller, from any order or de- cision of local committees, to appeal tri- bunals appoint-cd by the Board for the purpose. Tt also makes provision for the prevention of frivolous complaints. The measure, known as The Profiteer- ing Act, 1919," will continue in force for si\ months and no longer, unless Parlia- ment otherwi.se determines.

FIFTEEN AC R E S O F T HI ST L ES John Edwin Gunn, a Swanscombe farmer, was at Dartford on Friday rifted t'.)O and costs for allowing what was described as a veritable forest of thistles," covering fifteen acres, to grow on his land. Gunn's excuse was the shortage of labour.

A WONDERFUL WOMAN. I A woman who had not looked at her face for a long time and could not da- scribe another woman's hat was a wit- ness on Friday at the Westminster coroner's court. She was asked to de- scribe another woman, but could not. "How would you describe your own face?" asked Mr. Oddie, the coroner, who seemed frankly puzzled. "Is it pretty, or what would you say?" It s a long time since I looked at it," replied the woman. Mr Oddie: Shall I call it a nice one? Yes. if you like," was the reply. When the woman, in answer to a fur- ther question, said she had not noticed the other woman's hat, Mr .Oddie re- marked that he thought that was always the first thiwr a woman looked at.

I RIR. VIVIAN REES. I His Work to Influence the Clilid-I Mind for Good. In that great book, The Science of Power," Benjamin Kidd's last legacy to, the world, which is well known already, and should ho in the hands and in the heads of every man and woman who thinks at all about social affairs, there occurs this passage, Giv^ us the youngi and we will create a new mind and a rew earth in a single generation." Kidd showed, too, how this had been done-in Germany and in Japan. Mr. Vivian Rees. last year's president of the National Sunday School Union, caught up the great idea, and has already fn his Children's Tear and New Children's Era, done much to materialise it. It wasn't go much new organisations a, a new spirit that was introduced into Sunday School and other work for children. "We will," he eavs, with the., f)itine help, create a new mind and a new earth in a single generation. We dare not hold buck when the call corpes to live for posterity." l The idea is the greatest, the most hope- ful, on earth at t"

DOCTOR KEPT OUT. I Thought he was an Income Tax Collector. At the Clydach Police Station on Friday afternoon, -Air. C. J. C. Wilson (county kroner) held an inquest on the body of a Clvdach labourer named Thomas bavin, lodging at 74. Grove-road, Clyclach, who died on Thursday morning last. Mrs Marry Cummins, landlady at 74, Grove-road, with whom the deceased lodged, gave evidence of -identification. She said the deceased, who was 4S years of age. had not been well since he was afilicted with influenza about last Citrist- mas. He had been employed as a labourer at the Mond Nickel Works, and later at Messrs. Gilbertson's works at Pun tarda we. About a fortnight ago he crossed over to Ireland on a holiday too see his people, and on his return he told witness that lie bad had a very good time away. He. however, complained of not being at all well. Witness sent, for a doctor on Wed- nesday evening, but when the doctor called I she happened to be from home, and be (the doctor) was, unfortunately, not ad- mitted. The deceased, who had been a heavy drinker, died about 5.50 a.m. on Thursday. Dr. Stuart Alexander Tidey, acting as locum ten ens for Dr. Varley, Clvdath; ^aid he was sent for on Wednesday evening to >^0 the deceased, and that when he called at the house he was, on account of a mis- Understanding, refused admission. When he called rtt:-the house iaiitl on the follow- ing morning ho found the deceased dead. The body, which was still warm, was lying on a bed in a natural position, death having probably taken place about half an hour before he arrived- From the general appearance of the body, and also the statement made by the landlady, wit- uess formed the opinion that the deceased had died from alcoholic poisoning. THOUGHT IT WAS TAX COLLECTOR. I Robert Fleming,, also of 74, Grove-road, a relative of tho landlady, ?aid he had ?cown the dpceased for the past thirty years. The deceased had been a heavy drinker, but of late was trying to break himself of the habit. Decea.sed had. how- ever. taken two bottles of stout and a glass of whisky on the day before he died. Wit- ness admitted that, owing to a misunder- standin?. he had refused admission to ?p doctor when he first called to SM the ?l_ cpal-he had, unfortunately, mistaken the doctor for an income tax collector! Eventually the Coroner returned a ver- dict that the deceased had died from the effects of chronic alcoholism.
