LONDOH LETTER Westminster, Tuesday Night. JUDICIAL. APPOINTMENTS. Lawyers will have little complaint to make of the Lord Chancellor's decision in making Lord Justice Stcrndale the new Master of the Rolls in succession to Sir Charles Swinfen Eady (resigned), and Lord Justice Duke President of the Divorce and Admiralty Division place of the new Master of tho Rolls. Both are extremely able and couscien tious lawyers with a great reputation; at the Bar, followed hy a sound one on the Beach.

Mr. Justice Younger is the; new Lord Justice of Appeal. All three; gentlemen have been figures of vi the House of Commons iv their time I Lord Justice Duke's career has beea; quite notable. He came to London as: reporter in the Press gallery for a West Country paper, took to the law, entered; Parliament, became one of the most! successful leaders at the Bar in and after responsible Ministerial vice vanished from the busy ken of: everyday affairs into the shadowy! limbo of gentlemen of the long robe and! judicial wig. He is a most capable andj conscientious lawyer, but as a politician: was just a little too deliberate for the taste of the House Commons.

ECONOMY DEBATE. Full-dress debates on set topics in the House of Commons have a habit of failing to rise to the emergency. Rarety does it happen that what is expected fcol be a great and notable occasion trulyj justifies anticipations. But the economy debate, which will occupy tomorrow and the following day the: House of Commons, ought to prove one; exception to the rule. There is in the least artificial about this debate, It touches the question which above auj others now engrosses the attention not! of politicians alone, but of.the whole! country.

And it also impinges on the; crucial question of Coalition The Cabinet have tabled a pledging the House of Commons to sup-j port the Government in even the most; drastic measures of national economy, 1 which is really a vote of The Independent have an amendment challenging the adequacy! of the Cabinet's economies, and the 1 Labour Party have another, protesting! against present-day abnormal peace expenditure and adopting the principle of the capital levy war-profit confisca-i tion, both of which are eauivalent votes of censure. TACTICS. If the amendments were carried Coalition would fall forthwith. With this central fact in view, and a Govern ment motion urgently approving those big economies which are precisely what the Government's critics of not being carried out by I the position is tactically strong from! the Cabinet's standpoint. It is undor-i stood that Mr.

Chamberlain will open: the debate by making a considered! financial statement in moving the Government's motion. He is expected to disclose the nature of the sweeping economies of which the Government inferentially boasts. He may possibly be able to present a somewhat better potential national balance sheet than the White Paper has suggested. But the real point of attack will unquestion- Urbiy be the complaint that the Government's economies are future projects rather than substantial present accomplishments, and the great interest will centre in the first; real discussion on the much-diHeussed-pjivateJy capital levy and war-profit confiscation. Precisely how the House of Commons as a whoie will view these projects is not known yet.

The war-profits proposal is most popular, and also most impossible, but the capital levy is less popular and more practical. The Prime Minister will probably speak on Thursday on the debate. We shall see how he approaches these controversial: questions, and whether he will be more definite, one way or the other, than Asquith recently contrived to be SIR PERCY SCOTT'S TT Tho lasc adventurer in reminiscence is Admiral Sir Percy Scott, who almost as fainotw as his inimitable brother, Malcolm Scott, of the vaudeville stage. Sir Percy (trounchos the Navy soundly. Ho shows bhmtly, and wiiJiout a doubt with perfect truth, what hard work be had 10 get the Admiralty to regard gunnery aa at all important, or the submarine and tho torpedo as in tho least deadly.

He makes the statement that, before his gunnery campaign, the Ge-man Fleet might have bested our own in a main action. Sir Percy is rather severe on his old sen wit, the late Lord Oharles Boresford. In the Navy, he cays, he was regarded as a politician; in the Hot.so Commons as a sailor I Very neat, and quite mordant! INCOME-TAX REPORT. I hear that tho liicome-tiat has agreed on the main linos of its reoomxaendations, and that its report, if the Cabinet and the Treasury adopt it, may be available time for Mr. Austen Chamberlain's next Bmlget.

That is, of course, i supposing in the first place that Mr. i Chamberlain continues to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, and hi the second place that he does sot introduce a new Budget until next year. Tho basis of taxation for in- i come may bo very much altered, I under- I if the Coram-ssion's recommendations i find official favour. The principle is said to be approved of oaeiug the burdene on the smaller iwonies. which hardly pay the cost of collecting at present, on the ground that this class of perron most heavily -in indirect taxation, in other words, it'will be proposed to temper the post-war financial i wind to the shorn lambs.

But there will lie heavy imposts suggested in the case-of wealthy perrons, aJrcd there is. I hear further, some notion of adjusting Income-tax according to expemditunv We shall become a thrifty race at this rate I GREAT FAIR 1320. As all trado cii'mbitions were banned during th? war, and none has been held for co long, naturally there is going to be an Jii'bitious revival. aro now being made for a British Industries Fair during the last week of February and the first week of March next year. The Fair in being or'anised by the Hmrd of Trade.

It is contemplated holding one section at the Crystal Palace, with others in Glasgow and "Birmingham, hot it is rw-sihle. believe, that this system of industrial exhibition devolution may be extended. Other cities associated with particular great iiidnstriee may co-operate by bedding sections of their own in their own township. This is a matter that depends on the municipality. In Glasgow and Birmingham the local Conncils are acting in the rnattor under the auspices of the Hoard of Trade.

Tho opportunity to cultivate foreign trade developments considered excellent. And this is, perhaps, the main object of the cn.erprise, though there is benefit to be derived from such industrial rhou occasione withiu our owu shores as W9IL NOT SO MANLY. Tho flat has gone forth from the most exclusive and influential! fashion centres that a great revolution is about to happen in feminine drees. The ladies are tired of being mannish." The cult of the uniformed woman and the tom-boy girl is to languish. Women are to become womanly again.

That is to say that thoso women who pay any attention to tie modes of the moment will go in for longer skirts, return to petticoats again, discard stiffness and fcrmality of sartorial cut. and wear filmy, fluffy, billowy garments again. It sounds rather like an impossible piece of sex like an abdication after a great victory. But the dressmakers say it is and will Frills and furbelows are to become fashionable once more, and ridiug breeches and tunic coats will be cast Incidentally, the "waist become more accentuated after the Victorian style, and the thin straight "waist" will disappear. All this sounds rather mad to a mere man, but, presumably, it is both important ant! inteie'ticg to more than half the community.

I hear also of big enterprises whereby the cinema is to ho roped in for fashion purposes. The fashionable mannequin show now held in the ateliers of the We End costumiers will, in tho near go on tour round the country. ARTIST AND HUMOURIST. All genuine lovers of pictorial art arc earnestly exhorted to miss no available opportunity of visiting the Nevinson show at the Leicester Gallery. It is a wonderfully versatile Mr.

Nevinson displays in ithis exhibition. There are all sorts of cub! jeers, and-all sorts cf styles, but all of them interesting, every or," of them craftly and distingnisned. Mr. Nevinson tells us in a foreworq to his catalogue that he wishes to bo thoroughly dissociated from every or "'advanced" movement; every form oi ist," "ism," "post," etc, and that h3 refuses to use tho same technical method to express such contradictory formas a rock and a woman. There are side by side in this show pictures like The Sandy Path," which are beautifully painted and conceived I landscapes in perfectly orthodox fidelity io i visual nature, and which is I almost cubist.

Mr. Neviuson can be. mything except dull or ordinary. His Aroeri- I can Patriotism" a masterpiece. His i When Father Mows tho Lawn" is a peach.

Rio Portrait of a Very Young Man is as good as a Rembrandt. And he has one greatly I daring study which the lady visitors disj creetly skip past. IQUEPIN'S HALL MUSIC. The end of the present season's ade concerto at Queen's Hall has been marked by a presentation on behalf of the school of British musicians to the veteran conductor of tho Queen's Hall Orchestra, Sir Henry Wood. One entirely agrees with the praises now being showored 'on Sir Henry tor the great work ho has I done for music in London.

He has over a quarter of 11 century been the main musical instructor of the ltsh people. has popularised good music well pdayed beyond almost belief. But the London critics are still grudgingly superior in their acknowledgments. If Sir Henry let his! hair grow six inches longer, and frizzed it, if he called himself something ivanovitch," if he sud- I donly turned up with a dress-case labelled somewhere East of tho Blue Danube tho London critics would expire with ecstasy his conducting. They are much too conscious and self-insufficient to praise without faint damns anything which in music means British i One has only one complaint about Sir Henry's conductorship as a mere member of the usieloving public.

He is too apt latterly to play the new thing merely because it ia new, and to leave out the old masterpiece merely because, it bae been hoard before. Some of'tie music of these younger school cornpOvsers is like minor poetry and good should be seen, perhaps, but distinctly not hoard! RETRAHO SATAN 03 1 The editor of a very bright Loaded journal has boon trying to cheer up the spirits of hia amid constant diatribe-o about the wickedness of the politicians and the poxxlDg ruination of the cosmos, by running views about ihe nicest age for women It iwis been quite a liberal education to follow all the hazarded by different famous individuals. The general truthful view of middle-aged mankind appears to bo that between 30 and 40 a lady is most atttpetjve. The juvenile flapper is not a firm favourite with anyone according to these of faith. And adolescent manhood prefers between 25 and 38.

it seems. Robert Loraine agrees with the theory. Mr. Arnold Bennett professes a preference for okl He says very really somewhat that he never kne.v an lady who was not in'oresting." Mr. G.

B. Shaw was invited So state his Shavian beliefs, but replied to the ailurirrg editorial person succinctly You are tempting mo to make a fool of myself. Get thee behind me!" rersoneiliy one imagines that the nicest age for a woman is simply the age of whichever happepe to be the nicest lady one knows at the moment. THE BELL INN, OR ETONHAMPSTEA D. The question of alterations to the Bell Inn, Morctouhairipstead, was again men- Coned at the local Petty Sessions, yesterday, when Mr.

Thomas (Exeter), on behalf of the" owners, tba St. Anne's Well Browery Company, asked the Bench to consent to a slight amendment in the plans already kaseed for the re-building, of the inn. This, he eaid, was occasioned on account of Lord llumblcdon'cs intention to provide a new pannier market for tho town as the result of which the old market was to be removed. This would necessitate a flight, and he believed beneficial, alteration to the plans, allow for one doorway instead of two. Supt.

Carey offered no objection to the ap-i plication, and tho Bench approved. PLYMOUTH'S LQ33. Wolverhampton Education Committee from 63 applications yesterday appointed Mr. 'Tbos. Alfred Warren Director pf Education at a r-ukiry of £300 per annum.

Buckfastleigh COUNCILLORS DIVIDED. "TO BE OR NOT TO The first item on the agenda at Buokfastleigh Urban Council was the election of Chairman in the piece of Mr. W. 'Northoott, who had resigned from the position, which lie has held for sis months Mr. A.

J. Stone presided, and Mr. J. R. Dyer, in view Of there not being a full attendance, moved that the question bo deferred for a month.

Air. y. Chaffc said that he considered they were not an elected Council, and had no mandate from tho ratepayers to carry out the important schemes which would come before them in the next year or two. The assessable value of the town was JE7.7OC, and its outstanding loan was £1,101. They were now, owing to the action of the Government, practically compelled to build SO houses, which he thought they were generally agreed were required.

The cost would be roughly which the Government relief would reduco to about 26.000. Taking the average rent of the houses at 10s weekly, they would have, after allowing for the Government subsidy, to find a rate of 3d in the £. They would have to build another reservoir whien would cost and the mortgage debt would be increased from to about or about 20 per cent, of the value of the whole of the property in Buck fastlaigh. He proposed that they all retire at the close of the meeting, carry the position to tiie ratepayers, let it be explained to them, and let them put them in again or pbee who they liked on the Council. They ought to have Chairman who was free and independent of all sections, and.

as they stood, he did not think there was anyone, who could nil the position except Mr. Joseph Hamlyn, who. he believed, had refused to do so. The only alternative was to seek an independent man from outside the Council, and he suggested one of the of tho town as Chairman. Mr.

I. Dyer seconded the proposition. Mr. Abbott painted out they not depend upon having a full Council at any time. They were forced into the Housing Scheme and could not help thernsohes.

Mr. J. R. Dyer relented ho -suggested that they were pitchforked into office Foi the Council to resign would be a sign of weakness. He considered they had the mandate from the ratepayers, although not by ballot.

Mr. Jos. Hamlyn said he was quite prepared to resign if anyone else was. Mr. I.

Dyer considered it an insult for Mr. Chaffe to suggest resignation. If he felt ho was not properly elected let him resign. Mr. Chaffe 6till argued the Council had no mandate, and said their election was by accident, and there was a strong feeling with regard to it.

Ho believed if they resigned it would be thought there was something in them and thyy to be men of strength. He agreed they were doing their best, but let'l'he people say if they wero ugreetible should go on. ijh Th Chairman observed -that The members of tho old Council' knew, as everyone htere knew, that the "housing scheme was coining on. If they had the welfare of tho town at heart, would they have come off the Council when they knew that important work had to be carried out? They, who were nominated, became members of the Council, and the difficulty of obtaining a Chairman was got over by Mr. Northcott continuing to the present time.

To l.rs mind, if they went to the town, as Mr. Chafle suggested, the town would see to it that none of them came 'here again, if they had not the pluck to carry on to the best of their ability. If they resigned it would be a sign of weakness. By throe votes to one the appointment of Chairman was adjourned. It was decided to apply for a five mils motor speed limit for the town and to abk the Royal Automobile Club for school signs for Borsell-road.

The Housing Cominitoee reported that Mr. Vcrcoe attended and produced plans in connexion with the housing scheme, and produced a telegram from the Housing Commissioner stating the Ministry Would not allow all parlour unless they cost leffe than £700, and if more, that half should be parlour houses and half not. The' Committee recoinni ended that half the houses he non-parlour houses, and that sketch plans be submitted to the Commissioners, and this was adopted. The Surveyor reported that ho had sent a claim of £902 to the Joint Roads Committee for damage done to roads from Merryfield to the ctution by timber hauling. A letter from Messrs.

Hamlyn Bros stated they agreed to their factory bell being rung in case of serious fires, and to one surprise call annually, subject to it not being during working hours. Devon Gas Association, wrote that they hod done their best for the town under the most difficult and very much resented 'the accusation of profiteering which had been made. No action was taken to appoint a Profiteering Committee, the Clerk pointing out that the-whole cost would come out of the local rates. EXCHEQUER RETURNS.
