NURSES SUICIDE. I Fear of a nervous breakdown was given as the reason for the suicide of a V.A.D curse named Winifred Eliza Carrick, aged 29, upon whom an inquest was held at Tottenham on Wednesday. Miss Carrick, the daughter of a com- pany promoter, who lived at Heyden Bridge, Northumberland, during the war served with the V.A.D O¡: in France. Re- cently she was attached to the Bethnal Green Hospital, and a few weeks ago re- signed her position, telling the matron that she feared she was going to have a ¡ rervous breakdown. Later she developed meas??, a?d was  sent as a patient to a hospital at Totten- j barn. She was allowed out of the grounds. I and on Saturday site was seen by two S children to climb over the wall of the Midland Railway embankment. When a train came along she threw herself in front of t and was killed. A verdict of Srtiicido whilst of un- sc-und mind was leturned.

THE MARRIAGE KNOT. I I Some striking remarks concerning the widespread spirit of laxity with which the marriage tie is now regarded were made hy Mr. Justice Darling on .Wednes- day at Kent Assizes, in sentencing a Tiiiiiil),or of bigamists, who had pleaded guilty. Lately," ho said. H people have come I to take a very lax view of marriage rela- tions. It is tho simplest thing in the world to get a divorce. Some hundreds j of people were divorced in Io-ndon on tlie. day I came here, and there is a movo- ment, which, I daresay, will be success- ful, to allow people to get a divorce in the county courts on very cheap and easy terms. At present people do not seem to take ¡ the trouble to apply for divorce. I have got here eighteen cases of bigamy. People have come to regard the marriage con- tract as of no importance whatever. As a matter of fact it is the most sacred engag-nmc-nt that anyone can enter into, and yet a great many people trMt it as if it were not more binding than an engagement to go out to dinner."

 The first mpptmgs <?f th? crodjto and ?,,f shapehoid?r? of the Dnmma Colliery Co., Ltd LlansamW., was held at* the office of the Official H?c?ivcr, Swansea, on I Thursday morning. Both meetings were adjourned until July 3rd.

This is a well-de- served honour for Mr. Barron, he being a keen educationist, ancj an active par- ticipant in tho public affairs of the dis- trict. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. T. M?neel Franklen that the County C?nn- eil had appointed County Alderman w'l H. Davies, Pendnwdd; Cau?ty Council- lors C. Bevan, Overton; Albert Hardin?, Gowerton; and 1). J.

I Mr. Thomas (Pontlliw) complained that the existing school building at Pont- lliw WM absolutely unfit for occupation, and that it was a scandal for children to have to be accommodated there. The Clerk pointed out that the erection of a new school had already been sanctioned, and it was reeolved to press the County Council to proceed with the erection of a new school without further delay. NEW SCHOOL FOR LLANGENNITH. The Clerk reported that the Education Committee have been approaching the Gower Rural District Count-i™ with a viow to co-operation in securing land for school accommodation and housing at Llangennith, and it was resolved to re- commend the erection of an elementary school near Broadway Farm between Llangennith and jBurry Green.

Owen, J.P., Chester, moved a resolu- ¡J tion. with regard to the Peace which said that the Assembly had, however, grave misgivings as to whether some of the con- ditions of peace were consistent with the conception of the League of Nations. Principal Pry., Aberystwyth, who seconded, said he would prefer the terms to. appeal more strongly to the best in human nature—to the best nature of the Germans.

The Swansea Banch waited in the eonnt for nearly an hour on Thursday morning in expectation of the arrival from Car- diff of Miss Lily Long, the leading lady of the revue "Tip-Top," which appeared at the Swansea Empire last week.

a. 1 r "g MR. SMILLIF.. I H Strike to Oust the Govern- I- ment. SOUTBPORT. Wednesday. f In the presidential address at the opon- iug of the Labour Party Conference at I Southport to-day, Mr. J. ilcTurk (Miners' ¡ Fooeration), said the peace settlement I contained a number of unhappy compro- [ raises and violation of principles, which Labour deplored. They would not rest satisfied until, by the united effort of the organised workers 01 all countries, they were revised in lic- ¡ cordance with Ilabour's fundamental de- I Illocratic principles. The final pcace would have been even more disappointing but for Labour's own diplomatic policy during the past two years. MR. SMILLI C'S HEROICS. Mr. Robert Sinillie said the present Gvv. ernment had secured its return by fraud, deceit and lying, and that being so, was not the gre-at Labour movement entitled to take any action to get rid of such a Government? No person professed that there should be a general strike to get rid of the Govern- ment, but, if constitutional action failed, he saiii the eause was sufficient to justify a strike to oust the Government. (Ap- plause). He warned the Government that there would be a serious state of things if they did not deal fairly and justly with the Labour movement. • MR. BOB WILLIAMS. Mr. hobert W nliams said that they were told that certain forms of action were unconstitutional, but the coastitu- tion of the Labour party was what tircum- stances might make it. He was convinced that circumstances would compel them to revolutionise their tactics. There were members of the Parliamentary Commit. too oi too Trades Union Congress who i were more reactionary than that British Kcitchak, Churchill. SEXTON'S GRAVE WARNING. I Mr. James Sexton, M.P., urged intelli- gent labour men to put on their thinking t cape. Suppose you destroy the I Government by a national strike," ha I said, what are you going to put in its place? You would be letting lose elements you could not control. I believe in revolu4 tion of social character, but not in letting mad dogs loose. You are working for civil war, which would be disastrous." Mr. Arthur Henderson said they knevr what interpretation those who favouredl, direct action woul<i put upon the decision II if the clause was referred back. Mr. Smillie withdrew his motion.
