… The alterations made were hailed as far-reaching, but the opening games of the season have scarcely upheld that pious hope. Under existing laws no player is supposed to be concerned with hooking the ball in the scrum- mage except the middle man of the front row. Neither side man of the front row can lift a foot until the ball has passed inside both his feet. That seems perfectly plain and concise. Ex- perience,…

… long it will be before North Wales is an actual and living part of the Welsh Rugby Union. We are aware that meetings have taken place in the close season with various influential people and officials of the Welsh Union. It now appears as if the next move must come from the North. If they are keen enough upon joining forces, it seems as if they can exercise the right. They are needed and…

… regularities, of which the most important is the close connexion between rainfall and physical icatures. Broadly speaking, rainfall increases with altitude, and decreases from west to east, so that the highest rainfalls occur in the moun- tainous regions of the west, and the lowest rain- falls in the eastern lowlands. It is remarkable, however, that even along the western coast com- paratively low rainfalls occur in low lying strips. For example, at Llanddwyn in…

… difference is less than 16 degrees. From the point of view of plant growth, the effect of a maritime type of temperature distri- bution lies mainly in the mildness of the winter. Whilst in south-eastern England, frost is frequent during winter and the temperature is generally too low for the growth of grass herbage, in the west of Wales, frost is comparatively rare and grass can grow almost throughout the winter. The mild winter…

… GAERWYLAN was a growing town. It is true that it could not yet boast a mayor or a bisnop or any outstanding institution, but it possessed three Calvinistic Methodist cnapels, which had each its own minister. No otner denomination could claim more than one meeting-house with an occasional branch school- room. When new-comers belonging to any religious body except the Calvinistic Methodist Connexion arrived in Caerwyian they found their spiritual homes without exceptional agitation.…

… orbit of the Rev. J. L. Morris was guided by a similar motive. The Rev. Joshua Jones felt that the man's melancholy moroseness was like a cloud on the brightness of the day, and he decided to annihilate him when the test arrived with all the cheerfulness at his command. Yes, he would use the joke about the Joneses, after all. He came to a halt by the bookstall; it would be a little…

… penditure of the League although the cost of the League to New Zealand is exactly 0.048 of its total budget. Senor de Madariaga did well to remind the delegates that if only 5 per cent. of the sum spent by the nations on armaments in one year were invested at 5 per cent.-5 per cent. at 5 per cent.-it would keep the League in funds for ever and ever The Fifth Committee-the Humanitarian Committee-has…

… stalwarts of Free Trade as Great Britain and Switzerland. Ultimately, a crazy world will re- turn to something like sanity and put into practice the League economic principles of 1927. The meetings of the Council before and during the Assembly were full of interest. In one meet- ing the Prime Minister of Greece, M. Venizelos, sat clad in a black cloak with a black baker's cap over his white hair, arguing cleverly and vivaci-…

… the pageant of life." It is sad to think that a young poet of such wonderful promise had to be sacrificed on the altar of war. In his preface the editor states: "It is difficult to comprehend what anyone ever saw in Hedd Wyn to think of mak- ing a soldier of him." But the summons came and what he himself wrote of his friend was veri- fied in his own case. His own…
