A COMMONS SCENE.
MR JACK JONES AND THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
Mr. Jack Jones, the Socials, memler for Silvertown, whose appearances have not always added dignity to the proceed. ings of the House of Commons was sNOCH On January 2th in the role of guardiau of the honour of the popularly-elected Cimaber. Exactly what roubled him he never explained. For some reason ather known only to himself he "fancied, that the House of Lords had treated the Commons with "contempt," and he wish ed to have an opportunity of airing his grievance.
ur
From what can be gathered, it appears that Mr. Jones's sense of dignity was offended when he attended in the House of Lords to hear the Royal approbation being given by Commission to the selec tion of Mr. Whiteley as Spřaker becauso there was only a handful of peers pre- sent. Mr. Jones" wants a crowded house when he visits the second Chamber. Failing to and a place at the bar among the many members who accompanied the Speaker-Elect to the House of Lords, Mr. Jones ascended to one of the galleries | reserved to members of the Hour of Commous From" this point of vantage he watched the ceremonial below, whera Mr. Whitley announced his election for the offer of Speaker, and was at orge asured by the Lord Chancellor of the King's approval. As is customary," the peaker then laid chim to the anciers and undoubted right land privileges of the Commons, particularly freedom of sprech in debate, and freedom from arrest, all of which were at once allowed in as ample a manner as they have ever been granted." While these pro ceedings were in progres Mr. Jones's in- dignation began to grow, and soon there were indistifel mutterings from his part of the gallery. He was curtly told by a fellow-member to "shut up away. Neither piece of advice was no ceptable. Mr. Jones, as an elected re presentative of the people, claimed hie right to his place, and apparently a right to make him if heard wherever he goes. "TREATED WITH CONTEMPT."

When the members of the House of Cominous returned to their own Chamber and Mr. Whitley had donned the full- attomed wig and the gown of his, often as Speaker, Mr. Jones attempted to mak a question about the procedure in the House of Lords, but he was told by the Speaker that the House of Commons had nothing to do with that. Later, after the Speaker had informed the House of the

and had taken the oath of allegiance, Mr. Jones, who soul, was evidendy! deeply troubled, returned to his plaint. When, he asked, would it be possible for him to raise the question of -ch" treat- ment that the Hans of Commons had received in another Chaniber 7. The Speaker, having no ila of anything. wrong, promised to assist the member for Silvertowa, when he discovered the 'causa of his concern. This was not enough, for Mr. Jones, who announced himself to b
Social Deinderat," but at the same time one desirous of being constitutional. ! He wanted to know where the House of Commons stood, in view of the manner. in which its members had been deeply in- sulted in the House of Lords. “Tell us what they have done," said Mr. Kirkwood by way of encouraging his colleague, They have treated us contemptuously,' Mr. Jones,anted. Huable to under- stand in what manner the honour and, dignity of the House of Commons had suffered light which only the eagle eye of the Social Democrat could discern erabers raised indignant cries of Order 1" when Mr. Jones rose, to pur- sup the subject further "I accept the con- stitution," be bawled, but he wanted to! know what was to be done when the House. of Lords treated the House of Commons with contempt. "What have they done?" again queried Mr. Kirkwood-a question to which everyone wanted an answer. "They have done nothing," replied the member for Silvertown, and the incident ended in the roar of laughter which followed.
The remainder of the sitting passed in comparative quietude, members following each other closely at the table while taking the oath. There was but one incident that created a little feeling. Members on the Front Government bench, were the first to take the oath, followed by those entitled to seats on the front Opposition bench and Privy Councillors. Thereafter the Speaker called on the fourth becches, above the gangway on the Government and Opposition ides, The bench occupied by members of the Socialist party was certainly full, but the number it was made to yield owing to others trooping on fo it was so large that protests were raised ll hands and members were asked to play the game." You're the seventy. second from that bench," was Colonel Ward's caustic comment as the last of the generous quota trooped down to thy Clerks table-Daily Telegraph.
AMUSING BROADCASTING.
FAILURE.
That all broadcasting experiments are not, unqualified sucess is shown by the failure of an experiment at University College de signed to demonstrate the possibilities of broadcasting a factor of education, Mr. Alan Walker talked through a transmitter at the London, station on St. Paul's Cathedral to a conference of educational associations meeting at University College where lantern slides were shows e an tempt to the lecture. But when. light was turned out the loud speaker began to regale the serious-minded educa Lionists with a racy discourse describing how the War killed the chaperone!
The audience good humouredly requested that the unexpected tura should be allowgil continue. It transpired Inter that a defect! in the apparatus was caused by a fusion in the wiring Arrangements when: London was broadcasting-The Women's Hour..
