At the No-license League social last night Rev. IV. Lamb mentioned that it was a significant fact that since last election over 2000 names had been struck off the roll. “A cleaii roll is one of the most important things in an election contest,” was the comment of Mr. J. Aneurin Jones, the new organiser to the party. The Sanitary Committee of the Borough Council has decided that all camps on the Kaiti beach must be provided •with sanitary pans, which will be attended to by the Cook County Council sanitary contractor at a charge of sixpence a week for each camp. Camping will not be permitted unless this 'convenience is provided. Campers, however, may join in providing it, but the contribution will be all the same.

A lady speaker at the No-license League social last night made the statement that she had good authority from the Old Country to say that the “unaccountable things that we read about in connection with the suffragist movement at Home are not really the striving of the women after the franchise. They are paid for and backed up by publicans’ money.” The speaker went on to state her opinion that the liquor party were merely urging the women on to the creation of scenes and riotous proceedings in order to prevent the granting of the franchise to women, which they recognised would bo a deadly blow to the trade.

<; Tlie wives and children are the people I pity in these troubles,” remarked Judge Rodgers, in the Sydney Industrial Court, speaking of the coal strike. “I don’t know whether womanhood suffrage is in existence in regard to these Labor organisations; but it- appeal's to me that the- wives have to bear the brunt of the suffering without having any voice in deciding whether there shali be a stride. This is a case of taxation without representation. I shouldn’t be. surprised at anyone becoming a suffragette in such circumstances.”

Morse’s ‘‘Central” and “Masonic” Hairdressing and Tobacconist Saloons are replete with every modern luxury. It’s the difference between the ordinary saloon and ours that stamps ours as being “up-to-now.” We have been compelled to open a second saloon, next the Masonic Hotel, in order to accommodate our ever increasing and thoroughly satisfied host of patrons. If you are bald or your hair is failing, remember our famous“Parasene” HairRestorer will absolutely make hair grow. * Getting a patent is not so easy and safe a thing, or not invariably, as many people think. The man with an idea should consult an expert.

CHURCH V. STAGE. At Stamford Bridge early in December (the “Daily Mail” reports) the Church and the Stage met in friendly rivalry on the football field. The object of their meeting was primarily to earn Christmas puddings for poor children in the East End of London, and secondarily to settle who were the better exponents of Association football. This object’was obtained. Quite a hugh crowd assembled, and halfcrowns, shillings, and sixpences galore went to swell “The Daily Mirror” Christmas Pudding Fund. Furthermore, “virturo triumphed over vice,” and the Church defeated tho Stage handsomely by seven goals to one. Everything was., therefore, as it should be. One is bound to confess, however, that “Vico.” ably skippered by Mr. George Robey, were prime favorites with the crowd. As soon as Mr. George Alexander (who was importantly earnest) kicked off the Church became extremely militant, and in spite of brilliant bursts by Basil Foster (one of the famous Worcestershire brotherhood) they hold the upper hand. The Stage goal-keeper brought' off some brilliant saves, b_ut the Church was insistent, and at half-time claimed a four-goal-to-nil lend. Both teams show-

ed, in the second half, that the pace was a cracker, but that may have been duo to the fact that during tho interval they had laughed so much that; their sides ached at Mr. Rutland Barrington (linesman) conducting the band. There was nothing to laugh at, for Mr. Barrington showed considerable skill with tho baton. He showed even greater powers afterwards, for whenever the Church threw the ball in from the touch-line lie penalised them, although be failed to observe the idiosyncrasies of “the Mummers,” who leapt highin the air wTien delivering the ball froni touch. Loud cheers were raised when Mr. Vincent Lawson, an ‘’‘Englishman’s Homer,” beat the clerical custodian ami scored with a fine shot from his left buskin. This was of little avail, however, for the Church added three more goals, and triumped decisively by seven goals to one. The winners certainly appeared to be in the better training. Perhaps they keep more regular hours.
