Replying to the toast of his health, pro- posed by Mr. H. Jones, the Lender of the Opposition said that the Press Gallery had much in common with those who at on the floor of the House of Commons, for while the latter supplied the material to the former, it was the gallery which interpreted the members of Parliament to the country, and so far as new membera were concerned the gallery had almost the power of life and death.

material is that the raising of the surface. by which the fabric is converted into flannelette makes it easily ignited, and statistics collected from coroners show that a large number of deaths are to be attributed to burns caused by the inflammable properties of flannelette. It difficult to distinguish between accidents should be recognised, however, that it is arising from pure carelessness and those pere, but the Home Office inquiry made alleged to be due to the use of flannelette it clear that whatever the enuse of the garment catching fire the chances of burns from

Pro- bibition of the sale of flannelette is recognised as being out of the question and the only remedy which can be applied is that proposed in Mr. Taylor's Bill of imposing penalties for mindescription. The opposition of manufacturers has been argely diclated by the desire not to ppear to be granting a monopoly in non-inflammable flannelette to a small section of the trade, **

When he was a new member be remembered! looking up to them during his first all night sitting and thinking that, though they had to sit it out also, there was some object in the work in which they were engaged. He continued:-
A LOTTERY,
I wonder if you sometimes ask your selves what it is that makes the difference between success and failure in the House of Commons. It is a lottery. It is not altogether brains. It is something else. It is What does success consist of?

In my opinion there are two distinct classes of good speakers in the There is the first House of Commons class of men who have a natural gift of apecah, and who speak far above their There is another ability. (Laughter.) class who have no natural gift of speech, hat who have great capacity, and, having chosen the political life as their career, have made themselves good speakers do not speak of eloquence. That is some- thing quite apart. I do not think I can honestly say I have ever heard one single eloquent speech in the House of I do not mean by that to Commons.

I think, at least three things are The first, essential to good speaking. perhaps, you will be surprised to hear me refer to is elocution. After all, to make a speech successful it must be made in such a way that it can be distinctly heard, and it must be intoned in such a way that it can be clearly followed. I could name members of the House of Commons, who possess the art of speech, and who speak in a most perfect way, and deliver. their speeches in the most effective manner on the other, could name, possible. hand, some members who have not the advantage. I could name one of when I have heard it said he speaks so quickly that he spoils the effect of his own speech, and is a curse to the reporters. (Laughter.) The next quality necessary for effective speech is that the speaker should think only of his subject, and absolutely forget No effective spooch was ever himself. delivered when a speaker was thinking of what effect he was making and what other people were thinking of what be said. The other quality is readiness of resource in impromptu speaking. That is a capacity which can be acquired with
practice.

The efforts of many manufacturers have been directed towards the improvement of the material from the standpoint, of the fire risk. It would seem that there should be little difficulty in doing this tom- porarily at a very small cost, and indeed is can be cfice in washing articles made of the material. In practice, however, it has been found that users do not apply the remedy. What is really wanted is a process which, without material addition to the cost, will render the manufactured fabric
