WARTIME "SPECIALS."
ARE THEY WANTED NOW!
LONDON, April 10.
In the House of Commons there was a lively debate on the Special Contables Bill providing for the continuance of the recruiting and maintenance of the force. The Act under which "specials" enrolled in war-time expired at the end of last year and the force will disappear | altogether watess special provision is made.
Mr. Bridgeman, explaining the Biil, pointed out that the only alter- native to "specials" i. time of emergency was the calling out of the military which was undesirable.
The Labourites took strong exception to the Bill on the ground that the force might be used for strike-breaking and black-legging. Mr. Hayes, an ex-policeman who was the victor at Edgehill, dwelt on the incompetence of "specials." Mr. Bridgeman declared the Bill was not anti-Labour but anti-disorder. The second reading was adopted by 218 voles to 122.

TAILORING
There is an old saying to the effect that everyone is better dressed than a tailor, This may or may not be so," But the Boy Scout who has learned the sartorial art has already acquired the habit of neatness in dress, and his new trade not only makes him profitable work, but he will always be a well-dressed boy and man.
