THE National Council of Women, who are concerned about the morals of the girls of Carlisle, were advised to "look to the Mayfair folk, some of whom lave morals of which the work- ing classes of this country would be ashamed."
Carlisle Education Committee had teen-asked-to recommend the Watch Committee to appoint women police "to supervise and protect the young girls of the city."
Alderman W. H. Cant, who said the proposal had been inspired by the National Council of Women, described the Council as consist- ing of "lelsured women who are Nosey Parkers and Busy Bettys," He said they had been interfering with other people's affairs for some time.

ARTIST'S £170 PENSION
MR. WALTER RICHARD® SICKERT, the artist, is to have a Civil List pension of £170 a
year.
He is 80 years old and made a "come back" in painting when he was 78. He lives at Bath.
When
he held an exhibition of pictures In 1938, they were priced from £120 to £350 aplecei
Art circles considered this cheap, for some of his works had fetched twice as much.
"Old and Busy"
A year before that Sickert had written to a friend:
"I don't need to exhibit pictures before I can sell them. My reputa- tion was, made years ago.
"Nów I am a very old man, very tired, and very busy still.
"I paint cothing which has not an immediate bearing on money."
Blckert was elected R.A. ́in 1034; but a year later he resigned. »
This was because Sir William Lic- wellyn, president of the Royal, Aca- demy, had refused to sign a petition for the preservation of the Epstein statues in the Strand.
Another orilat nwarded a pension of £170 is Mr. Albert Julius Olsson, R.A.
