and the demand steady.Mutton.—The mutton market still

remains quipt and the business transactedis i.f small proportion.I Store Cattle.—Activity still continues inIthe store cattle market, but there is evi-dence of an easing tendency. More espe-cially is this applicable to heifers, which

i have been coming forward in good numbers.! Forward steers are in strong demand, butI backward conditioned cattle have slightlydeclined. Good framed fresh cows are per-haps in higher favour than any other class

lin the store section.i Store Sheep.—Business in this branch issomewhat restricted owing to the lack ofBiiltable lines for sale. A good demandexists, hut for the above reason is not easyto satisfy.

Dairy cattle are in keen demand at allcentres.l-j£S.—Brisk business has been done inthis branch up to the present. Values areexceedingly firm and inclined to improve.The high prices ruling at the yards haveforced the bacon companies far in advanceof their opening quotations, and even atpresent figures some of those operating havefound it difficult to obtain supplies. AtWaihou yards on Friday values were full?Kid per lb. It is unlikely, however, thaithese high rates win long continue.

A New Name.—lt was resolved to changethe name of Carnahau Koad to PukeaiiaAvcmic, which, the chairman stated, jneams"ilfll \'(

i'nilna^.-.—A letter Tvas received fromthe .Auckian* and Suburban Drainage Boardstating that the main drainage scuemc lorthe Auckland anil suburban drainage <ii«-trict lias been so designed «s to provide to-il substantia! area oi' the .Mount KoßkiUiload district. The boundary line of thea:ea so provided for is indicated on a plaualready iurnished to tbe lioard. Tnerewould have to be two reticulation eewersystems for the area referred to. one olwhich would lie connected to the DrainageBoard's system by wny of branih sewer■Xo. S, and the other by means ofa connect*ing sewer along the Oakley Creek gully.Autborlty was recently given by tbo Drain-age xtoard for branch sewer >'o. 8 to beextended xo its proposed -terminal point Atthe intersection of the boundary lines orMount Eden and Monnt Albert Borongo*and Mount Roskill lioad district. This ex-tension is required for .the connection oireticulation sewer systems which are betasdesigned by the Mount Albert BoroughCouncil for the Edendale district of tn«borough. t'pon completion this branch.sewer troulj be available for use by theMount lioskill Road district. If that RoadBoard is now desirous of taking advantageof the provision made in the DrainageBoard's scheme, the clerk, Mr. H. H.

With regard to th»depth of water mains, it would be eetab-liphlns a dangerous precedent to permit thewater mains to be laid in trenches shallower■than usual, lie. therefore, suggested thatir be mnde a condition that -Jin C.I. waterpipes, British standard, specification Clasß"C." be laid, together with all neceasaryvalves and fittings, etc.. at a uniform giadein specially-prepared trenches of not lesstban 23 Inches deep in any part. Mr.Dawson also sucsested that before tuermard finally approves of the working planaand specifications they be referred to htm.as he Jops not consider it a -wise policy t°n»nnit cesspits to be constructed right o«

Ithe corner of reads as provided for by Mr.Inibble, neither does he approve of too'manjshort grades in the roads. The boardIadopted th.- proposal, and it was agreed f>!ask Mr. Dibble, who is actins on behal? ofTbe owners of the estate. t» confer withMr. Dawson.

THE BRITISH CONSERVATIVES.

For the souse ihat Jacks assistant*.For the wrong that needs resistance,tor the future in the distance,A.nd the good that toe can do.

This week the annual conference ofthe National Unionist Association is tobe held, and its proceedings may haveimportant results for the party andEnglish politics generally. The Unionistparty faces a new time. The very term"Unionist" is out of date. Since thetreaty with the- Irish Free State wasconcluded, it has ceased to have anymaterial significance, and the conferencewill be asked to substitute for it theterm "Conservative." The label"Unionist" served the party well fromthe time it was adopted after the LiberalHome Rule split in the 'eighties. ItIhelped a number of able and influentialmen, such as Joseph Chamberlain andthe Duke of Devonshire, to cross overfrom the Liberal to the Conservativeparty, and it blurred the conservatismof the Conservatives. The party wasable to distract attention from thepoverty of ita domestic programme byharping on its devotion to the Union.The stand the Conservatives took overIreland was a disaster to Britain, but itgave the party years of office. Now,however, the party has no such prop.Home Rule is no longer an issue, andthe conservatism of the party is moreexposed. Moreover, the party is facedin the House of Commons not by aLiberal Opposition, which could bedepended on to defend most of the exist-ing order, but by a determined band ofLabour members, whose objective isSocialism. Much more is at stake inpolitical warfare to-day than in the oldtwo-party days.

Great interest will therefore attach tothe programme adopted by this week'sConference. It is certain that the dutyof opposing Socialism will be put in theforeground. No important social reformsare to be expected. The chief point ofinterest will be the party's attitudetowards protection and preference. Itis forecasted to-day by three •papers,two of which are .old Conservativeorgans, that the party will be asked toconsider a bold policy on these lines. TheOo\ernment has already committeditself to the principles of preference andprotection, both of which it took overfrom the Coalition. The party is in astronger position than in Mr. JosephChamberlain's time to adopt a largepolicy of protection and preference, forthe reasons that it has got rid of itsfree trade elements (or most of them)and will not be troubledby a leaderwhorefuses to give a strong lead on thesequestions. How far will it go in accept-ance of these things? The "DailyExpress" says that Mr. Baldwin isexpected to propose all-round protectionof home industries, but not taxation ofimported wheat or meat, and that the

revenue so obtained will be devoted tcsubsidising home-grown wheat and inter■Imperial trade. At least two of theDominions, however, will expect meatto be included in the goods covered bypreference. One thing is certain: if theConservatives accept such proposals theLabour party and the Liberals will takeup the challenge to free trade. Thereception of Mr. Bnice's proposals hasmade it clear that no support ie to belooked for from the Labour party; theAsquithian Liberals remain uncom-promisingly free trade; and the LloydCeorgc party does not count. ShrewdConservatives cannot be ignorant of thetrue position of the party in the countryas revealed by the returns of last elec-tion. Labour and the AsquithianLiberals polled together G,fiOO,ooo votes,in round numbers, whereas thfi Conser-vatives, although they won many moreseats, polled only 5,380,000 votes. It istrue that the question of free tradeversus protection was not the issue ofthe elections, but on these figures itdoes not look as if the cause of protec-tion would be easily won. And itKeems to he taken for granted that theparly cannot, out of respret for Mr.lionar Law's pledge, change the fiscalsystem of the country without appeal-ing to the electors.

THE DAMAGE IN JAPAN.Some people may suggest that the

immense estimates of the damage donein Japan by fire and earthquake shouldhe read as ''yen" and not "pounds,-, inwhich case they would be reduced toa tenth. There is no ground for sucha suggestion. Our cable messages arcclear on the point, and reflection,including comparison with other dis-asters, indicates that while the figuresare huge they are not impossibly high.The Minister of the Interior estimatesthat the cost of restoring Tokyo alone,exclusive of private property, will be£.350,000,000, and another estimate putsthe total loss in the capital at morethan £2,000,000,000. There is also thedamage at Yokohama and other places.These did not suffer so much as thecapital, but even if their losses are onlytwenty per cent of Tokyo's, the cost ofreplacement will bp great. There cannever have been such figures in history.Tokyo's experience was, happily, unique.Never before had a huge capital, thepolitical and commercial nerve-centre ofa great nation, been practically wipedout. The destruction of inner Londonwould be a parallel to this appallingdisaster: we can imagine what the costof rebuilding would be. One or twocomparisons will help to show what thismeans to Japan. The cost of rebuildingthe State and Municipal property inTokyo is estimated at a figure thatalmost coincides with the total of thenational debt. The total estimatedcost of reconstruction in the city is sixtimes the Japanese debt, and betweena third and quarter of Britain's gigantic 'debt. Fortunately for herself, Japan'sparticipation in the war did not add ,much to her debt; imagine whatBritain's position would be to-day if, ontop of her war expenditure, a coupleof thousand millions had to be found forrepair of damage by earthquake andfixe. The one fortunate thing about ithis Japanese visitation is that its area 'was limited. The greatest manufactur- 1ing centres were spared or lightlyItouched, so that the productivity of" thismost industrious people has not beeneven temporarily destroyed. I

NEWZEALAND INLONDON.We wonder whether Mr. Jlassey,while he is in London, -will have the

time or the inclination to investigatethe work of the High Commissioner'soffice. Complaints that New Zealand isnot adequately represented in Londonare so numerous that we cannot helpthinking that a thorough overhaul ofpolicy and methods in the office isneeded. Recently we published aninterview on the subject with LordStrathspey, a New Zealand-born Peer,in which he criticised the working- ofthe office severely. "New Zealand," hesays, "doesn't seem to want to be pushedin England." Commenting on this the"Lyttelton Times" remarks that what!Lord Strathspey says "is very much on 'all fours with reports from other reliablesources" that it has published andcommented upon. Sir James Allen, itsays, has ''other interests," which pre-vent him from keeping a proper grip ofhis department and mooting businessmen in various parts of England. Thisis not fair to the High Commissioner.Sir James Allen, we believe, has toomuch to do. His work on the Leagueof Nations takes up a good deal of histime. We would not like to see himgive that up, for he is an excellentrepresentative of New Zealand, and has(.he interests of the League at heart.But the fact that he has to do this workshould strengthen the case for a recon-sideration of our representation inLondon. We must be properly repre-sented on the League, but we must alsokeep someone in London who will pushour commercial interests. Moreover,out of the Imperial Conference theremay develop a permanent consultativebody in London on which the Dominionswill be represented. If this happens itwill privß us the opportunity to divideour London and European representationinto two spheres—diplomatic and com-mercial, placing at the head of thebusiness department a man trained inFuc-h work who will give all his timeito it.

The Minister of Education, Hon. 0.!J. Tarr, arrived at Dunedin from luver-cargill on Monday. He visited theCaversham and Forbury schools yester-day and received a deputation from theOtago University Council in connectionwith an application for grants for build-ing new dental and medical schools. Healso dealt with departmental matters.The Minister left for ChristcUurchto-day.

In the Arbitration Court at Dunedinyesterday Mr. Justice Frazer statedthat it was most satisfactory to knowthat so many disputes had been settled.This was an indication of good feelingbetween the workers and employers!Of six disputes that were down to comebefore the Court at Dunedin on the pre-sent occasion there were complete agree-ments in. three cases. ,

"War records are overdone in theCourts. We are are all very tired ofthem," remarked Mr. J. W. Poynton,S.M., in the Police C6urt to-day. Theseremarks were provoked when a solicitorstated that a man in the dock, chargedwith vagrancy, had left with the MainBody, had been twice wounded, and nowwore a silver plate in the top of hishead. For two years and monthshe had been a prisoner of war in tier-many, and hia bod}' was covered with

[scars from German bayonets. "I don't:doubt that he has a most honourable,record," said Mr. Poynton, S.M., "but hehas now disgraced it. Some men havedisgraced their records time and againsince returning."

Thrrp is a shortase of bushmen inthe Wanganui district, although theruling rates are fl a day and "tucker."One veteran bushman has contrasted thepresent position with conditions of 30years ago, and said the majority ofj bushmen of that period regarded work

!as an opportunity to accumulate aI " nest-egg" to buy a small farm. Hei said he was afraid that the present-day

tendency was to accumulate just suffi-i cient to go to the next race meeting.! The Store Kopparoergslaga Company,probably the oldest established indus-trial concern in the world, has been cele-brating its 700th anniversary in Sweden.Tho company was founded during thefirst half of the thirteenth century, andthe first deliveries of copper from themine at Falun were made in the year1225. Since that time the company hascontinued, with almost unbroken regu-larity, to play an important part in theeconomic life of Sweden.

"It is a fallacy that lkjuor can legallybe served with a meal on licensed prem-ises between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8p.m. on a Sunday," stated Senior-Ser-geant Fraser during tho hearing of evi-dence in a licensing case at Levin onThursday. "The Act only applies toweek days when liquor may be servedwith meals during those hours, but itmakes no provision for Sundays. Manypeople, including licensees, are ignoranton this point," he added.

A recommendation that provision bemade in the next loan to raise £0000for providing a two-storey fire station,at nn estimated cost of £4000, to accom-modate two motor reels, living accom-modation for a married couple, and forfive or sis firemen, wae received by theMount Eden Borough Council at lastnight's meeting. The recommendationadded that provision be made for a firealarm system at an estimated coat of£1430 10/, and a chemical cylinder at acost of £100. The proposals will bediscussed at a special meeting to beheM next Monday evening.

The annual athletic sports meetingof the Auckland Grammar Suhoo] is tobe held in the Domain on Thursday,October 25. There has been ■•;

entry, and competition will bi .cry keenthis year. The mistresses and pupils ofthe Auckland Girls' Grammar Schoolhave undertaken the serving of after-noon tea to the visitors, and the pro-ceedings will be enlivened by selectionsby Mr. G. F. Poore's orchestra. It isexpected that there will be a goodattendance of parents, old boys andother well-wishers of the school."

An interesting nrw statute is set downfor the third reading at the AnglicanSynod to-tlay. One clause enacts thatplans and specifications of church,Sunday school, parish hall, vicarage, orany other church building shall be sub-mitted to the Standing Committee ofthe diooree. and no such building shall beconstructed unless and until the plansand specifications have been approved byb';e Standing Committee. Another clauseenables a minster (with the consent ofthe vedtry. the local trustees, if any,.and the Standing Committee) to allowhis church or a portion of the churchbuildings to be used by any "recognisedChristian body" that has "no suitablebuilding of its own in the neighbourhoodFor the purpose of holding services. Thetimes at which the church is bo usedmust not interfere with occasions whenthe church is required by the consregx-tion and only a reasonable sum is"to"bebarged for lighting,, cleaning and theike.

The United States gas industry isadding new customers to its gas uainsat the rate of 350,000 a year. Approxi-mately 48,000,000 persons in the UnitedStates now use gas for lighting, heat-ing, and cooking. About 25 per cent ofthe total amount of manufactured gassold is used by industrial plants, in morethan 1200 different ways. Gas is usedin 7,000,000 cooking appliances, 1,600,000ivater heaters. 1.300,000 space heatersmd 5.800.000 incandescent burners. Ittakes 70.000 miles of gas mains tosupply 4GOO cities, towns and villagesn-ith gas service. The gas industryuses more than 10.000,000 tons of coaland about 900,000,000 gallons of oil ayear.

An ingenious young student at auniversity debate, in which subjectswere drawn from a hat, had to wrestleH-ith the question: "What would youJo if you came into a fortune of£1,000.001?"

CRICKET SEASON.• I

OPENING SATURDAY WEEK.

IMPROVED PARKS ALLOTMENT

REMUEEA GROUND ABANDONED.

At a mnetinjr last night of the Auckland Cricket Association ManagemeniCommittee the opening of the seasorlocally was discussed, and although iiwas found that there were likely to stilbe hitches in a fortnight's time aboutpetting all the grades into full swiruthe committee decided that all th<grades that could be got into actionshould be started off on Saturday weekThe senior gTade will start then foicertain.

For the various grade competition;there were 57 entries received, so thaiprospects so far as competition is concerned are good. Another most satis-factory feature of the arrangements iva-the manner in which the City Councilthis year had met the Association inthe allotment of playing areas on theparks. Nine wickets on the Domainand three on Victoria Park, was re-ported to be the allotment, a very largeincrease on what the Association hadbeen able to secure since the after-warrevival, and something like an adequaterecognition of the Association's effortsin having both those parks broughtinto condition for the game. It wasresolved that no further negotiationsbe entered into with regard to theRemuera ground, in view of the factthat it was anticipated sufficientgrounds would be available by the timethe season opened.

The claims of junior cricket receiveda deal of consideration and Mr. Harvie,of Papatoetoe club, was co-opted toth« Committee to represent the juniorsmeantime, while further steps to adjustthe representation of the juniors willbe taken immediately. Mr. W. Caradus(Mt. Albert Grammar School) made apersonal application on behalf of theSecondary Schools' Association to havetheir teams placed in a separate sectionof the second grade so that the schoolswould have an opportunity of playingeach other as in former years. Thiswas agreed to, and it was decided thattho second grade be divided into threesections as followe:—Secondary schools;Manurewa, Papakura, Papatoetoe, One-hunga, Parnell A and Graf ton; W.V.M.1.,Eden, Parnell B, Varsity, Shore andPonsonby. The third grade Will bedivided into sections later.

LUNCHEON TO MR. MASSEY.HIS IMPERIAL REVIEW.

PROSPERITY IN NEW ZEALAND.!IDEPRESSION IN BRITAIN. '

SOME PANACEAS SUGGESTED.

(P. 7 Cable.—rress Association.—Copyright.)

(Received 10.30 a.m.)

LONDON, October 23.Sir James Allen, High Commissioner

of New Zealand, presided at an Austra-lian and New Zealand Club luncheon toMr. Masaey at the Hotel Cecil.

Mr. Massey, replying to the toast ofhis health, indicated reductions in taxa-tion made last session in New Zealandas proof that the country is in a goodfinancial position. He believed the out-look to be satisfactory, and regretted tofind so serious a depression existed inthe Motherland, which,if it lasted, wouldundoubtedly atfect the producing coun-tries overseas. He believed if it werepossible to reduce taxation in Britain itwould do more than anything else 10bring the country back to prosperity,but with its tremendous liabilities hewas afraid no considerable reductioncould be expected.

N.Z. PUBLIC WORKS.New Zealand's requirements in the

way of materials for public works duringthe next two years amounted to£4.000,000, which proved how little de-pression there was in New Zealand.

"They were," continued Mr. Massey,"developing the country for increasedpopulation. Perhaps no industry inBritain felt the depression more thanagriculture. It had felt the competi-tion of South American meat produc-tion. New Zealand, too, felt this com-petition acutely during the last fewyears. The plain fact is, that unlesssomething is done to remedy the presentdifficulty, New Zealand will have to goout of beef production."'

MORE AND MORE MEN.What is going on in connection with

foreign competition raises the questionof migration. New Zealand could alwaysdo with hard working, industriousmigrants. Anyone with such qualitieswas bound to succeed. There was alwaysplenty of employment for men and boysin the dairying industry. The agricultur-ist class, said Mr. Massey, is one whichlaid the foundations of overseas Domin-ions, and such people now more thanever were necessary for the develop-ment of these countries. As citizens ofthe same Empire we had got to makeup our minds that we must assist eachother far more than in the past. If ivocarry out this principle we will not betroubled with serious or lengthy depres-sion.

Mr. Massey predicted that the recentreciprocal Customs agreement betweenAustralia and New Zealand would do atremendous amount of good to bringthose countries closer together. Hethought the time at the disposal of theImperial Conference would not permitall the business that should be attendedto being dealt with, but he was hopefulgood results would emerge. Personallyhe favoured the Conference meetingevery two years, and that it should begiven a 'definite status.

A FIRST-CLASS EMPIRE.Mr. Massey was sure satisfactory re-

sults would follow the Economic Con-ference, especially in regard to communi-cations. It had to be remembered thata first-class Empire required first-classdefence. We must accept willingly,cheerfully, responsibilities which devolveupon us as British citizens. He did notexpect any change in the constitutionalposition. Personally he -would like togo further with the idea of partnershipso that when the occasion required theEmpire should speak with one voice andwith no uncertain sound. There weretwo schools of thought—one, those wholook with equinamity to the possible dis-integration of the Empire, and those,who are in the majority, who desire tostrengthen its unity. It scarcely needbe said that New Zealand stood withthe latter.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)

"STUPID CRIME."H. G. WIXI.S' INDICTMENT.

WASTE AT SINGAPORE.

IXSXDOX, October 15.Mr. H. G. Wells, the novelist, in an

article in the "Westminster Gazette"says:—"lt is proposed that Britain,who is too shabby and poor to give themass of her own children more thanhalf an elementary education, who can-not house her poor with comfort anddecency, and who has over a millionunemployed, shall spend a great sum onthe establishment of a naval base atSingapore, and provide battleships andcruisers to play a part in the 'nestwar.'

''It is an admirably chosen positionon the supposition that the world willstill go on divided among aggressivesovereign States. It is quite a goodmove in that game. But on the supposi-tion that the world is growing up andcoming to an age of reason, and that aworld-civilisation is attainable, it is amonstrously stupid crime."

' Replying to a deputation calling at-tention to the distress in Barrow-in-Furhess, Sir W. Joynson-Hicks, Finan-cial Secretary to the Treasury, saidundoubtedly" the Washington disarma-'ment agreement killed Barrow, whichthe Admiralty in peace time supportedas an exclusively armament town. Itmust decay unless Vickers could con-vert its factory to undertake commer-cial work, such as the manufacture ofsteel girders.i He hoped that the Government wouldbe able to assist in providing work in

■ the iron and steel trades.

AUSTRIAN POLITICS.VICTORY OF GOVERNMENT.

COMMUNISTS NOWHERE.

1/OXPOX, October 23The Vienna correspondent of the

Exchange Agency reports that the NewAustrian Assembly is estimated to con-sist of S2 Christian Socialists, 16 Ger-man Nationalists, and 67 Socialists.Thus the Chancellor (Dr. Scipcl) has asafe, working majority of 98 against 67.

The "Morning Post's" correspondentstates that Dr. Seipel's ChristianSocialist party continues to he thestrongest political factor, with a majo-rity strong enough to secure stabilityfor tho present policy of economic recon-struction. The Democratic party, whichCount Czernin represented, has heenannihilated and the Communist list is sosmall than it is evident that Bolshevismhas no real role in Austria.—(A. andN.Z. Cable.)

MANEYROLKILLED.MACHTTTE FALLS AT LTMPKE.

MECHANICS' LAST KISS.

LONDOX, October 13.Hundreds-of spectators saw tlie famous

French airman Maneyrol killed on thefinal day of the glider contests atLympne, Kent.

Competing for the altitude record inthe morning, Maneyrol ascended to 9400feet in a low-powered aeroplane. Thoughthe petrol pipe became frozen and hismachine was blown out to sea, he landedsafely, displaying wonderful skill.

The British airmen Hamraersley andPiercy subsequently eclipsed Maneyrol'srecord, and he accordingly endeavouredto beat them in the afternoon. Whendescending the wings of his machinefolded up under the wind pressure, andwhen a hundred feet from the groundthe machine overturned several times,and then fell like a stone. Maneyrol wasbreathing when extricated, but diedwithin a few miniites.

The Duke of York and the Air Min-ister saw Maneyrol fall.

French mechanics rushed to thebroken machine and kissed the dyinj,man.

The exact cause of the accident is un-known, but there had been some adversecriticism of the construction t andstrength of Maneyrol's machine, andofficials had previously discussed thequestion of whether he should be allowedto fly.

The "Weekly Dispatch" says that theAir Ministry's objectionsto the machinewere unfortunatelymisinterpreted, other-wise it would never have been allowedto compete.

Piercy reached an altitude of 14,400feet after Maneyrol'sdeath, and won the£200 prize. Hammersley was second,reaching 13,850 feet.

Broad was the first to accomplish thefeat of twice looping the loop in a dcHaviland glider.

When Piercy landed his arms andlegs were frozen, and he was unable tocheck the machine's rush towards thecrowded enclosure. A spectator. CaptainEogers, ihrew himself in front of theaeroplane, deflecting its course.

Captain Eogers was injured.McMillan, attaining 76 miles an hour,

won the speed competition and the £500prize, while Hinkler, with 1000 miles asthe longest aggregate, won f300.

DEFLATED CURRENCY.ITS EFFECT IN BRITAIN.

SIR E. GEDDES' PANACEA.

(By Cable.—Press Association.—CoDjright.'

(Received 1.00 p.m.)

LONDON, October 23.Sir Eric Geddes, addressing the British ,

Federation of Industries meeting at .Glasgow, said thafc whatever Britain did,slie must now face a period of immense ,difficult}-, but he believed it might be ,wise to remove one burden until morenormal times returned, namely, the sac-rifice involved in maintaining the con-tinuous appreciation of our currency. ,We have been deflating our currencyheavily for several years. Our taxationis enormous, and there should surely liesome connection between the country'sfinancial policy and the trade situation.We could not control theinflation of ofr-oign countries, but couid control ourown. Continuous deflation, which in-creased the burden of the National Debt,dislocated business and involved con-tinuous effort to adiust wages cost. Thisburden could be alleviated by a policyless exclusively directed to the improve-ment of American exchange and more,concentrated on restoration to a stable {business condition. He felt strongly thatwe were entitled to demand more care-ful re-examination of the question bythe most eminent commission whichcould be appointed, including financialand economic experts, representatives of.industry and Labour.—(A. and K.Z.)

LONDON, October 15.The former Empress Eugenic attri-

buted the adventurous character of hercareer to the fact that she was born inexceptional circumstances.

The story will shortly be told for thefirst time in the '"Revue dcs DeuxMondes" by Comte Primoli. He relatesthat the late Empress was horror-stricken during a thunderstorm while onboard a yacht in the Mediterranean.

"I cannot describe the terror thunderand lightning cause in mc," she said."I was born during an earthquake. Mymother took refuge in a copse of laureland cypress, and it was under a treethat I came into the world. That wasa presage of my destiny."

1 TjOXDOX, October 23.The "Daily Telegraph's" Parliamentary-

correspondent states that the annualmeeting of the National Unionist Asso-ciation at Plymouth is expected to provea definite landmark in the history of theConservative part}'. There will "be athorough examination of the policy ofpreference beyond Sir P. Lloyd Graeme'sproposals to the Economic Conference.Mr. Baldwin"s friends emphasise that lieis bound firmly by Mr. Bonar Law's pre-election pledge not to make any changein fiscal policy, but there are grounds forbelieving that lie will adumbrate abroadpolicy on which the judgment of theelectors will be sought at some futuredate.

The '•'Morning Post" hints that thereare some members of the Cabinet whobelieve the- pledge to have been unwiseIt is certain, however, that Mr. Bald-win's outline of future policy will bedefinite and unmistakable, forwhich Con-servatives may work with enthusiasmand confidence.

The "Daily Express" states that Mr.Baldwin, at" Plymouth, is expected topropose all-round protection of homeindustries by a scientific tariff, but notaxation of imported wheat or meat. Therevenue raised from the tariff on im-ported manufactures will be devoted,firstly, to subsidising shipping freights

DREAD OF LONELINESS.

GROUP SETTLEMENT CTJBJ&

LONDON, October 11.Loneliness is often as great a deter-

rent to the British settler overseas asthe rigours of an unfamiliar climate,the difficulties of farming and unfamiliarsurroundings, states "The Times," in aleading article.

Nothinghelps a new settler more thanto realise he is" sharing both his earlytroubles and his.eventual triumphs withsomeone else from home. For this

' reason anything making for the prac-tical development of schemes of groupsettlement deserves every consideration.

If British settlers follow the trail out-

' back they should not go alone. There

' is no better means of securing immunity

' from isolation and loneliness than a1 system whereby one is surrounded bj1 friends.

THE WAIKINO TRAGEDY.REMOVAL OF THE SCHOOLAGITATION BY RESIDENTS.

LADY TEACHER'S EXPERIENCE.(Special to "Star.")

WAIHI, Tuesday.For years past the residents in the

township of Waikino who have children jattending the public school have com-plained of the distance of the building 'from the town, because of its compara- 'tive isolation, and the tax on young;children in climbing, particularly inwinter, the strep and winding path to !the hill on which it stands. With the !terrible trajredy of Friday last these !complaints; have been revived, and it is 'understood that the Auckland Educa- !tion Board is likely to l>e approachedwith a view to the removal of the build- ,ing to a more accessible and central jsite.

Just Before the Shooting.In a statement made by Miss Ida May

Bell, one of the lady teachers at theWaikino school, describing the scenewhen Higgins entered school, she says:"As I was attending to class work out-side, with tile children in front of thestudy window. ] heard Mr. Reid say tosomeone inside the study 'take a seat.'I heard some talking between Mr. Rei<;and some other person in the study. Iheard Mr. Reid say, 'Well, if you ares;oinp to take the law into your ownhands." and I did not listen to anymore of the conversation. I teiok tliechildren into the shelter shed under-neath the back of the school, and sentone of the boys to see what time it was.Re returned and told mc it was 10 a.m.I then went into the infants' room on jthe right hand side of the corridor,from the back entrance. A few minuteslater, while I was in the room, I hearda shot fired in the study.

Just Look at the Infante."I then walked into the corridor, in 'the direction of standards two, three

and four classroom." added Miss Bell,"and whilst doing so I saw a man com-ing out of the study with arevolver in his hand. He walked past 'me'with the revolver uplifted in his |hand and walked into the infants' room. |I informed Miss Graham that there wasa man -w-ith a gun. and about fiveseconds later the man came ir.fco theroom with the revolver in his hand andfired shots. I don't know who he firedat. We got behind a cupboard. All thechildren stampeded, and we all rushedout to the playground. "When passingthe study window I saw Mr. Reid, wh<£waved to us to pet away. At the sametime Higgins was coming down thejfront steps facing the direction we weregoing/, I

Higgins apparently went round to the,front of the building at this point. j

The Shooting of McLean.Describing the shooting of the hoy

McLean (deceased) another boy,Richard. Fitch, aged 14, states ''Higjnns ifired the first shot in our room close 'to the door. He then walked up to jMcLean and -fired directly at him. Mc- iLean put up his hands to liis face. Allthe boys rushed through the doors andwindows. McLean got up and walkedafter being shot. Higgins fired severalshots in the room. I was the lastto leave the room. McLean dropped inthe corridor and had three shots in hisbody. I saw Stewart (deceased) lyingclose to the stove, with blood comingfrom a wound near his eye."

Selected His Victims.MissDoris I. Hewitt, a teacher, makes

an important statement supporting thecontention that Higgins selected cer-tain children to kilL She says Higginscame into our class room with a re-volver and walked up the first row ofdesks, and commenced shooting as hewalked along between the desks. Heappeared to be picking out certainchildren to shoot.

Other statements show that Mr.Reid (headmaster) spoke to Higginsthrough the window previous to thelatter coming into the school.

THAMES TOWN ENGINEER.RE-APPOIXTMENT AND SALARY.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.).THAMES, this day.The question of the borough engineer's

resignation came before the Councilmeeting hist night when the FinanceCommittee's report was brought down.The committee recommended that theengineer, Mr. E. F. Adams, be asked towithdraw his resignation, and that hebe appointed at a remuneration of fiveper cent ora.all new worksup to £25,0(11per annum, and on the average expendi-ture, dating back to January, 1921, oneper cent in excess of that figure; thathe appoint an assistant engineer at asalary of £350, and that all works andemployees be under the direct controland supervision of the engineer, whoshall receive all instructions.

The report was adopted, one council-lor objecting to the appointment of anjassistant.

A CHARITABLE PICNIC.

EXCURSION TO BROWN'S ISLAND.

A most successful picnic in aid ofcharitable work was held on Brown'sIsland on Labour Day. A large pro-gramme of novelty events was arrangedby the committee and everyone appearedto have an enjoyable time. Followingare the results of the various events:—■Ladies' three-legged race, Misses O'Sulli-van and Casey; men's three-legged race,Messrs. Housiaux and Keenan; men'ssack race, Mr. Keyes; tug-of-war,Carters' team; single ladies' race, MissN. Griffin; married ladies' race, Mrs.McCarthy; ladies' egg-and-spoon race,Miss D.

Locke 1, Mr. Williamson 2;seven-a-side Rugby match (played insacks), won by Marist Brothers' OldBoys, 12 to Ojbaby competition, LomaNe'ill. aged five months; throwing cricketball, Mr. Griffin.

Another proof of the efficacy of ad-vertising was given in the Police Courtthis morning, when a witness statedthat he had noticed »n advertisement inthe newspapers requesting any eye-wit-nesses of a street accident to com-municate with the people concerned.This led to his being called to give evi-dence, since he Bad responded to theadvertisement, thinking that an impar-tial statement concerning what hap-pened would assist in, clearing up. thematter. , . ......

OBSERVATORY SITE.

SURMISE IN OTAGO.AUCKLAND SCOOP SUSPECTED.

(."By Telegraph.—Special to Star.)DUXEDIX. this day.

The "Otago Daily Times," in an edi-torial, says it is to be surmised that the

Joffer with which the Auckland CityjCouncil has closed was not an unsolici-ted one on the part of Yale University. 'jThe New Zealand Institute and Austra-!Han Association for the Advancement ofiScience bad innocently assumed that■the University was in treaty only withithe Government for its co-operation in i■promoting the cause of astronomical re-■search. There seems, however, to be no;reason to doubt that while the scientificbodies in the Dominion were under thw

Iimpression, the University had been ap-proached from '"several sources" withsuggestions that the finances of XewZealand were so desperate "that therewas no hope of any negotiations withthe Ciovernment being carried to a suc-cessful issue, and that if its plans werenot to be brought to naught it. was tothe Auckland City Council it shouldapply.

tions governing the Auckland Diocesepassed its second reading at the Anglican'. ynou last evening, Bishop Averill jpresiding.

Every can-didate so helped shall enter into an 'undertaking (a) trat he will dili entlypursue and complete his studies until heis ndmiUcd a deacon, and (b) that afterordination, he will serve in the dioceseof Auckland for at lea.=t five years,unlfs-i the Bishop otherwise directs. ;: In regard to removal ethius. the.(hill provides that every application forIa removal grant shall be communicatedIto the Standing Committee prior to theJelerr/yn'an removing to,a new cure with-in the diocese, and shall be supported byan estimate of the cost of removal, thecommittee to decide whether any, and. ifany, wha-t grant shall be made. It is|.further provided that the vestry, unlessspecifically directed by the StandingiCommittee, shall not be hound to nay allor any part of the rc-moval expensesof a cler2Tnan who is removed at hisown request from a district in which h«hue not served at least five year:. Theremoval |expeii=«s are limited to *beactual travelling exp°ns&s of the clerz"man and his houshold, and the actuilifreight of tftv> necesary quantity offurniture and effects.

PROTECTING SHOPKEEPERS.(By Telegraph.—Press Associations

ly because shopkeepers must beprotected, and they have right to trustcustomers," said the Magistrate in finingFrancis Matilda Richards £10 for steal-ing a piece of curtaining, valued at 9/G,from a shop. The Magistrate refusedto order the suppression of her name,and said it was really necessary in allshoplifting cases that the accusedshould be sent to gaol.

His assets are nil,and debts owing to unsecured creditorsamount to £224, the principal debtbeing £160 owing to the Farmers' Auc-tioneering Company, Te Puke.

"BOYS' WEEK."A POPULAR INNOVATION.CORDIAL CO-OPERATION.

CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS ASSIST.

I '"Boys' Week,', organised by IheRotary Club, commences on Sundaynext, when all boys aro invited to attendchurch—any church they care to go to.■It is safe to predict that never beforehave so many Tjovs attended Divineworship in Auckland as will be the caseon fjnnday next. It will be an auspici-ous beginning of a memorable week.i The "Boys' idea was launchedby the ltotury Club with some mis-givings at first. But the appeal madeby such a scheme to bring vividly to thepublic mind the real importance of theBoy, who is the Man of the future, andto convey to the mind of the Boy some!idea of the importanceof himself in rela-tion to his future citizenship, was onethat could not be denied, and has"caught on" to an extent that mustmore than please its promotors. Xofewer than S7 churches, covering everydenomination, and 4!) schools, have givencordial assent to the movement, andpreachers, speakers and business mengenerally have all combined to co-operate in placing the Boy on a pedestal—for the duration of one week. It is amovement as admirable as it is novel,and the status of the Boy in the com-munity should be raised considerably,Imuch to the advantage of the com-munity and the benefit of the Boy, thisIbeing dependent, of course, to a greatextent on the ability of the Boy torealise what is being done for him.

The Rotary Club has had printed some20,000 leaflets for distribution amongthe boys of the various schools on Mon-day morning next, when our future citi-zens (possibly a Prime Minister or twoamong them) will be given fifteen-minute addresses by business men onthe value of education, stress being madeof the need for boys to make the bestpossible use of their school time. Fiftyof the wise men of Auckland will tell; the boys thus of fifty schools some ofthe things they ought to know, and theleaflets given out will convey a specialmessage to each individual lad from theGovernor-General, Lord Jellicoe, and theMayor, Mr. Gunson.

1 "Boys' Sunday" and "Boys" Day inSchool" having been disposed of. Tues-day will be "Boys' Day in Industry,"for which arrangements have been madeto take groups from each of 35 schoolsto inspect the -various industries in the

.city, it being hoped that each group will !Ibe enabled to see two or three industriesin progress. The Boy will be for thetime being regarded as a potential em-ployer, and every endeavour will bemade to interest him in the desirabilityof learning a trade or profession. AIschool competition will be held on thesubject of "Choosing a Vacation," andthe boys will be addressed in factoriesand workshops on "The Value of Con-tinual Study."J Wednesday will be of particular in-terest as a strengthener of the home tie]"Father and Son Day," on the evening!of which boys and their dads, made more'intimate by the occasion with an casingof parental authority in a closer com-radeship, will banquet in company. Sofar 39 banquets for fathers and sons, em-bracing the boys of 49 boys' institutes,have been arranged for. Some locietiesare combining—for instance, four or fivewill co-operate in the banquet at theLeys Institute. The Mayor of Devon-port (Mr. Lamont) has arranged for abig community function on this occa-sion. With few exceptions, the banquetswill be held in the evening. A pleasingfeature of these functions, marking the; thoughtfulness of tie organisers, is thatarrangement have been made for thefatherless to have temporary fathers,and participate in the feast. Rotarymen will go to the orphanages, theJubilee Institute for the Blind, and theMount Albert Home as foster-fathersfor the time being, and entertain theboys in these institutions.

TRAINING NURSES.

HAMILTON'S WAITING LIST.

HUNDRED ON THE ROLL.(From Our Own Correspondent.)

HAMILTON, this day.The fact that there are 70 names on

the probationers' list awaiting an oppor-tunity to .train as nurses, recently

■ afforded Mr. W. Wallace, chairman ofthe Auckland Hospital Board, some sat-iisfaction in hie remarks at a meeting ofI the Auckland Board. Comparing the! size of the Auckland Hospital with theWaikato Hospital. However, the Auck-land waiting list sinks almost into in-significance. The Auckland institution, contains 524 beds, and the one at Ham-; ilton 266 beds, the total number of

i patients treated at the former institu-■ tion last year being 6091, as against; 3146 at Hamilton. The Auckland ex-• penditure was £157,000, the amount ex-: pended at Hamilton being £611,000, while. the number of nurses in training at thei city hospital is IS2, against 84 at Ham-•■ ilton.i Despite the fact that the Auckland, Hospital is just about double the sizei of the Waikato institution, the waiting» list at Hamilton contains just 100i names, and while this varies a little• from time to time the number seldom1 dreps below 00. The Waikato Hospitalihas. in fact, got a splendid name in theI profession as a training ground, the ex-amination returns telling their ownstory. One reason for this is that thenurses are able to gain experience inall branches of their profession, includ-

f ing training in the operating theatre,each probationer taking a regular turnof a week on theatre duty periodically

{ during her term. That the demand foradmission to the Waikato staff is wide-

! spread may be gathered from the factthat applicants hail from all parts ofthe Dominion, from the Islands and

{ from Australia.

WAITAKERE RESERVES.HOW MR. SPRAGG'S OFFER I

STANDS.FROM DIFFERENT POINTS OF

VIEW.

WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE.

AND WHAT THE COUNTY COUNCILWANTS.

The reserve with whic-h tlic WuitemataCounty Council views the gift of ">2 acresof bush land in tlip Waitakeres l>y Mr.Wesley Spragjr is the subject of somediversity of opinion. The donor pointsout. that the gift will be vested in the |City Council, which has definitely ac-cepted the promise 01 it, though the for-malities have not yet been completed.Very few people, he declares, have as yetany idea how important this bush areawill become as a playground spare in thecourse of a few years. He stated thatno other reserve was available to thepublic for miles around,, as the Wai-takere watershed, which backed it, was;closed to picnickers. Already an excel-lent metalledroad exisited from the Hen-derson Valley Road to his estate, and forthis the settlers voluntarily rated them-selves. The land was settled to withinabout two miles of Whare-o-te-rangi,and bush-clad hills through which itpassed could be made the site of many;week-end residences. Mr. Spragg ex-plained further that he had vested thearea in the City Council rather than inthe County Council because the formerbody had the means to develop it, whilein ten years' time he believed therewould be no Waitemata County Council,as the outer areas would all be under jcentral control.

The Mayor (Mr. J. H. Gunson), incommenting on the situation, expressedthe opinion that the City Council hadbeen very generous With the WaitemataCounty Council, having recently con-tributed £1000 towards the metalling ofthe West Coast Road through the Coun-cil's watershed areas. It later increasedthat amount to enable further works tobe done, as well ais providing varioussmall votes for work on the Auckland-Titirangi Jtoad, and this without anylegal obligation on the city whatever.He was of opinion that the" WaitemataCounty Council should appreciate ratherthan depreciate Mr. Spragg's gift of 52acres of bush at Waitakere, as the up-keep would devolve upon the city, whilethe bush would be equally available toresidents of the count}- as to the citizensJof Auckland. He hoped therefore thatIthe County Council would reconsider itsattitude.

The County's Arguments.Mr. W. Oliphant, member on the Wai-temata County Council for Waipareira

Iriding, in which Mr. .Spragg's propos-iti situated, placed the matter in anotherlight in the course of an interview to-day. "Mr. Spragg," he said, "hasapproached the County Council with aecheme of subdivision for this property,containing a large number of sections

ieach of just over one-quarter acre. HeIstates that he has agreed to vest in theIAuckland City Council an area of 52acres as a park. The only road on hisplans is a blind road, running to theboundary of the proposed park area.He has asked the County Council toapprove of the subdivision scheme andto assist him in avoiding the reserveof five per cent of the total area of hisproperty, which reserve is required bythe Government in the subdivision ofestates. There is a dotted road linethrough the proposed park to Brabant'sRoad, at the back of the subdivisionThis park will not produce rates and theCounty Council is of the opinion thatthe road should be diverted slightly tojthe right, so as to go through Mr.1Spragg's private land and enable him to

■provide other sections and rate-produc-iing land to the county, as well as shortenithe distance between Mountain Road andthe Swanson-West Coast Road. TheCouncil would doubtlessmeet him in theextra cost of crossing the second gullyon his property. Inquiries from the City,Council show that the City Council is

Iunder no obligation whatever to continueIthe present suggested blindroad throughthe proposed park to Brabant's Road.

Already Magnincent Reserves."The statement already published

that there are no available picnicgrounds within miles of Mr. Spragg'sproperty is hardly correct," went on Mr.Oliphant, "as on the right of his pro-perty, approaching it from Henderson,and within a few minutes' walk thereis a beautiful bush area vested in theCity Council and not graded down tothe Waitakere catchment pool. And tothe left of his property, within threeminutes' walk, is a very fine bush re-serve also vested in the City Council,and containing 420 acres. This consistsof virgin bush with many magnificentkauris, and has streams and waterfallsfar superior in my mind to the famousKatoomba Falls in the Blue Mountains,in Australia. I can speak from havingvisited these waterfalls within the last

I three weeks. The County Councilsidea is that a suitable portion not re-quired for water supply purposes shouldbe available for residential sites in theseranges for health and rest purposes.The Council also considers that the CityCouncil should contribute much moreliberally towards the maintenance of theroads, and make proper roading provi-sion, backed by the County Council,jwith suitable rating areas, by which thedistrict could he developed to meet therequirements of Greater Auckland.

County and City."In reference to the statement that

the City Council provided the CountyCouncil with £1000, supplemented laterby a further £1000, it should bepointedout that the City Council requestedthe Waitemata County Council to metalthe road from Nihotupu for 100 chainsover the Nihotupu catchment area, andit was then estimated that the costwould be £2400. The Government pro-vided a grant of £800, and the CountyCouncil agreed to find the balance tocarry out the work. It also opened aquarry, and in view of the threatenedshortage of water for Auckland cityhanded over the quarry to the CityCouncil to enable the construction ofthe auxiliary dam at the Xihotupustream. This work took some time,and meanwhile the costs had increased,but the County Council finished thework and spent considerably more thanit lifl-d undertaken to spend."'

THE BACON MARKET.~

ANOTHEB ADVANCE IN PRICE.!FIVEPENCE IN A FORTNIGHT.

In Monday's issue of the "Star" refer- jence was made in an article to the highprices ruling for ep, and the possibilityof a further adWnce in the price ofbacon and hams. It is now quite evi-dent that bacon and hams are to rulehigh in price this Christmas, as curershave just notified retailers of a furtheradvance in rates of 2d per pound onbacon, which makes an advance of five-pence in the last couple of weeks. Buy-ers for Australia have been operatingiv New Zealand, but it is thought thatat the recent advance the demand forexport will cease. One cause of thescarcity of pigs at the present time isthat the prolonged spell of wet, coldweather last winter retarded growth ofthe animals. Consequently there are not

required by curers. This may mean thatmore will be ready for the factories alittle later in the year. Meanwhileithere is keen competition at liigh pricesfor all pigs ready for curing, as factor-ies must buy to fill commitments forthe coming Christmas trade.

Chatting with the head man in aprovision store this morning, a "Star" jrepresentative was informed that from jpresent appearances there is everychance that the price of bacon in rashers jwill be as high as 1/!) per lb across thecounter. "You see,"' he explained, baconis now 1/3 per lb wholesale by the side.Well, the rough cuts have to be soldat less than that figure, consequentlythe loss has to be added to the price ofthe rashers. People in Auckland willhave the best cuts, and have to pay forit. The wholesale prices supplied to mcby curers this week are, bacon in sides,;1/3 per lb; in rolls. 1/5; middles, 1/6J; jshoulders, 1/1J. rolled shoulders, 1/3;.whole hams, 1/5; and rolled do, 1/6 perlb; lard, 1/ per lb. As the City Councilopened a market to keep down the price iof fish." he suggested, "perhaps the Cor- jporation may feel inclined to go intothe production of pigs to keep downthe price of nacon and hams."

CONVICT'S FIGHT.IN MAITLAND GAOL.

GRIM BATTLE.(From Onr Own Correspondent.)

SYDNEY, October 19.Two desperate criminals serving life'

sentences in the Maitland Gaol, in theNewcastle district, fought a. desperatebattle with a cobbler's knife and a stickthis week.

One of the prisoners is now in the gaolhospital with a gaping wound in hisright thigh, while the other is nursinga broken head.

The two prisoners, Freeman and The-orgoes, both of whom are serving theirsentences for murder, have been bitterenemies, and the gaol authorities, realis-

I ing the position, decided to keep the menas farapart as possible.

However, one morning last weekI Theorgoes slipped away into the yardI beside Freeman. The pair exchanged! words, and before the other prisoners!knew what had happened the two werelin holts. Both are powerful, and theyleapt at each other fiercely. Theor-goes' knife glistened once in the sun-light and fell into Freeman's thigh,j

I Freeman uttered a cry of pain, broke;I free, and with one quick swing of a;short stick struck his aggressor on the;top of the head. Blood poured fromiboth wounds. The men fought on untilother convicts and some warders sep-jarated them and dragged them wild-eyed and desperate to their respective

! cells.I There is serious trouble in the prison.Not long ago the department introduced

Ia retrenchment scheme whereby tenmen are now set to watch eighty

' criminals of the worst type. The|warders say that they cannot do the;work, and that there is little hope ofhandling the prisoners should they:mutiny. One v/arder has resigned since: the occurrence. Eight months ago there|

I were 210 prisoners in Maitland Gaol,! and there were 12 warders to look after

them at the time. Since then the staffhas been reduced by two. There are six

I life-sentence prisoners in MaitlandI gaol.I

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.IS IT A DETERRENT?

i "After long years of official experi-ence I have found that capital punish-ment is no deterrent to crime," said thecoroner, Mr. Graham, at an inquest atDurham prison recently on Hassen Mo-hanied, an Arab, who was executed formurdering a vrotnan.

■ "After a sentence," added the coroner,"a man is allowed considerable choice offood, and is even permitted to smoke.I have a strong conviction that it is, time some other system of punishment

! was devised."I agree with Mr. Plowden in his

! 'Anomalies of English Law,' that whata murderer really dreads is not death,but pain. I would favour flogging andpenal servitude in preference to the bar-barous system of execution."'

JURY'S AWARD UPSET.

THE PICTURE SHOW CASE.

NEGLIGENCE OF PLAINTIFF.(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

CHRISTCHUECR. this day.The verdict of the jury awarding

Kobert Eagle £375 damages for injuriessustained by falling into a cellar inthe Grand Picture Theatre was upsetby Judge Sim to-day.

The judge said the defendant's dutyto protect plaintiff did not extend tothe whole theatre, but only parts towhich plaintiff might reasonably be ex-pected to go in the belief that he wasentitled or invited to pro. Plaintiffought to have realised when he openedthe door and found the room in darknessthat he had no right to enter. Instead,he elected to go into the darkness, andwas not entitled to complain of anyconcealed danger. He- walked in at hisown peril. There was no evidence ofnegligence on the part of defendant com-pany and judgment would be enteredfor the defendant.

POLICE COURT.

'■ (Before Mr. J. W. Poynton, S.M.)

j A SPITEFUL ACTION.I A conviction in respect of the theft'of nwo pawn tickets was enteredagainst Edward Currie (23), a marriedman. Accused contended that he foundthe two tickets, lost from a woman'spurse, at 6.30 a.m. in Baker Street theother day. The name and address ofthe owner was written on them, but herefused to give them back because thewoman gave him ."'cheek." From the, dock Currie said fie woman annoyedihim by calling out "blue murder'

'whenever he went by with his wife.Instead of giving the tickets back heburned them. The articles pawned werethe woman's wedding ring and a brooch,ifor which she received 10/ and 5/1respectively. Currie was ordered to payi 35/ expenses, in default seven days, themagistrate stating that the destructionof the tickets constituted theft.

ONE MONTH FOR A "DRUNK."A very old offender, John Curran (77)'

made his fourth bow to the magistratewithin six months on a charge ofdrunkenness. There is a set rule in Mr.Poynton's Court that fourth-timersmust get a month in Mount Eden, andCurran found to his sorrow that he hadqualified for that sentence. "WilliamKing (34), with a third conviction, wasfined £3, in default seven days.

DEFENCE DEFAULTERS.Three charges of failing to a-ttend

military parades were preferred againstH. A. Clayton, who was fined 40/ oneach charge, with costs 9/, in default14 days. There -were also three chargesagainst H. K. Tate, who was mulctedin the sum of 20/ on each charge, withcosts 9/.

FREEZING WORKERS' AWARD.TO COVER WHOLE QOMBiION.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

DUKEDIN, this day.Before the Arbitration Court in the

freezing workers' dispute the union wasnot represented, as it had been at con-; ciliation proceedings. Complete agree-;ments have been reached in other dis-itricts. The employers withdrew theIdemands, the Court intimating that itwould make an award on the lines ofthe recent Canterbury award.

LEGAL INQUIRY.

BT A BARRISTER-AT-LAW.Letters of inquiry will be answeree everj

week in this column. As far as possiblethey. will be dealt with in the order inwhich they are received, and replies will beinserted with the least possible delay.RATES.—(1) Assuming that the altered

valuation has been noted in the ratebook the amended demand is valid.Refer to Section 4S. Sub-section d. ofthe Rating Act, ISIOB. C2) Providedfourteen days' notice is given the rate-penalty, it may be charged "in sixmonths from the due date.

ANXIOUS.—(1) A building of such anature is obviously meant to dp afixture. It was not erected in thatparticular manner so that it could heremoved, but simply because no nail-ing was necessary. You cannot remove: it without consent. (2) You aresimply a tenant at will, and as yourlandlord has apparently resumed pos-session your tenancy is at an end. Itis possible that you were not even atenant but simply held under a'■license" from the owner, and thatlicense is revocable also at will. Inany case you have no remedy.

O.M.—There is no bar to the claim, butit may be difficult to prove that themoney is still owing. Your longabsence probably explains the delay.

SYDNEY.—Write to any solicitor inSydney, enclosing him from half aguinea upwards, according to the

copy. Give him full particulars of thename, date of death, and otherdetails.

WIDOW.—(1) If you could induce aclergyman to go through the ceremonyyou are at liberty to do so. But offici-ally it would be wholly ineffectual, andunnecessary. (2) No charge.

PERPLEXED. —(1) Evidence is alwaysadmissible to prove that a documentwas executed on a different date fromthat on which it was executed. [2)The reduction would not discharge theoriginal party, but certain alterationswhich would give time to the debtor

« would free you from liability. Youdid not acquiesce in such arrangement.Your details are too vague to enablemc to help you much.

ANXIOUS.— (1) You may apply for a loanwith some hope of success. (") Yourletter discloses no ground on whichyou can obtain possession.

G.W.A.—lnstruct your solicitor to sue.ANXIOUS LESSEE.—fl) In the absence

of provision neither is liable. Youmust, however, yield up the premisesin good repair. (2) The provision youmention means what it says, and is

outgoings.NEW LYXN.—You may bring an action.

Strict proof of your neighbour's com-plicity and of damagesare essential. Itwill cost you more than the bird wasworth if the case is defended.

GLEN'.—I am not a surveyor. Yourdetails are far too meagre. Look upthe local body's by-laws on tlie sub-ject.

NELLIE.—It would not be wise.PAYMENT.—You should have thought ..f

the difficulty at the tim-. Tbi- r,,urtorders usually provide f°r weeklypuviuents. You can take the risk ofgetting behind, and i£ she sues payinto Court.

GRATEFUL.—I am answering your ques-tion out of turn. In the lirst case youmention, the mortgagee can sell utonce without further notice to you.He need notsell by auction. Th*1 <taxn«*is true of the second case. Write ar.one to each mortgagee, and explain

shortage, and convince them you canovertake the arrears.

BRITAIN'S WORKLESS.

A MENACING PROBLEM.DOLE SYSTEM A CURSE.

OPPORTUNITIES OVER THE SEA.

(By Telegrap×Special to "Star.")WELLINGTON, Tuesday.

''The burning question in Knglandto-day," said Major-General Sir AndrewRussell, after stepping ashore from tiioliner lonic, on which he returned fromEngland, '"is that of unemployment.There arc huge numbers of men in tlieOld Country, quite apart from the meuwho have fought for their country, whoare wanting work. You will gather someidea of the position when you know thatthere were recently 300,000 uneu;p oyed!men under the age of 30 in the UnitedjKingdom. Thus taking into account themen over this age and the 40,000 dis-

abled men who are unable to find work,the whole unemployment question con-stitutes an enormous problem. The State

is suffering enormous economic loss, asall these men have to be fed and must

Ibe given sustenance, and this is all somuch waste, because they are produc ngnothing and are becoming demoralised.

The question of unemployment becomesa burning one, not only for returnedsoldiers whose sympathies are naturally! for those men who fought .brside themat the front, but for the wholn of t c

Icommunity. It is obvious that thecapital of the country must becomeseriously diminished by such a state of.affairs, and without a correspond n ramount of production by these menwhom tho country must keep. Thewhole system of doles and benefits as inGreat Britain at present :s nt ing lees, than a curse to bath the give" and thereceiver, and 'has been for years.J Relieving the Situation.

"What can we do to relieve the situa-tion ? This whole matter was o nsi-dered at the meotins of t1c Empi c Ser-vice League which I attend d,and it waspointeduut thatone course of action wasopen. Take Prance for example. Sheid a country which has lost all her oilmarkets on the Continent, and is notlikely to regain them to the extent thatshe held them bef re the war, but sheis solving the problem by mrans ofnal trade. The costs of p- duction,partly owing to the defl tion of the curreircy, are considerably higher in Englandthan on the Continent. Where compel-led to do so during the war, countrieshave learnt to supply more of their ownwants, yet England, with her 500 peopleto the square mile, cannot do withouther big overseas trade. The conclusionof the Conference was that ever? effortshould be made to increase the"MotherCountry's trade with the Dominions,with whom the per capita trade i3higherthan with any other country, but inorder to give the Dominions the addedpurchasing power required for a biggervolume of trade a forward policy ofdevelopment of their latent resourcesin land and otherwise is necessary.The development of these resources in-volves a demand for la'bonr, and thatdemand must be met from Great Britain,in order that the populations of the Do-'minions may be kept pure. Every man]who leaves the United Kingdom to take|

■up work in development schemes in theDominions means another purchaser ofBritish goods, and one less hunting fora job in the Old Country. The questionbefore the Dominions is: Have we la,ndwhich is lying idle and resources whichit will pay to develop: and if such is thecase, what steps ought we to take tomake use of these asete, not only in ourown interests, but in the interests ofthe United Kingdom of the Empire?"SirAndrew expressed his personal opinionthat capital was needed, and that the!Government should attract men with•capital to the country, giving them a[chance to develop such land as waa wait-ing in North Auckland, and to mak-money out oi it, andstipulating- that thecountryshould be wanted for small farm-ing in, say, fifteen or twenty years.

YOUNG CITIZENS' LEAGUE.A PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.

NEW BRANCHES INAUGURATED.The president of the Young Citizens']League, Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., and Mr.H. Stebbing, returned yesterday after-noon from a visit to Paeroa, Karanga-hake, Te Aroha, Putaruru, and Mata-mata, where Young Citizens' Leagueshave been formed or are in the processof formation. At Karangahako, wherea roll of membership has been institutedin the school by the headmaster, Mr. J.W. T. Jones, an impressive ceremony ofinitiation was conducted in t!ia PublicHall by the president of the V.CL,assisted by the Mayor of Paeroa, Mr. W.Marshall, and the organising secretary.There was a large gathering of parentsand friends present, Mr. Morris, chair-man of the school committee, being inthe chair.

I At Paeroa, where a V.CL. has been! formed, the representatives of the leagueaddressed the assembled school childrenat the instance of the headmaster, Mr.G. 11. Taylor, and th* chairman of thelocal school committee (Mr. W. HTaylor). A brief visit to Te Arohaenabled the Mayor, Mr. R. Coulter, toarrange a preliminary meeting, when itwas decided to form a league there. AtPutaruru a roll of membership has beenformed in connection with theSalvationArmy training farm and school. OnSunday a special service was held, whenthirty-nine boys gave their pledge of: citizenship. The visitors were deeplyI impressed by the splendid all-rour.dtraining the boys are receiving underthe supervision of Staff-Captain C. Fit-ness and a specially selected staff ofi officers and the schoolmaster, Mr. A. D.I Sealey. Everything possible is beingdone for the comfort and future well"(being of the boys, who are thoroughlyhappy in the institution, and are beingfitted for future citizenship. At Mata-mata a V.CL. has also been formed,and club activities, which onlypart of the Leagues aims, are beingI carried on most successfully by Eev. P.I. Cooke, formerly superintendent of the'Birkenhead V.CL. An initiation cere-mony was conducted on Monday eveningat Matamata, when a large number oicandidates were received by the presi-dent. Mr. Gordon, chairman of theTown Board, presided over an enthusias-tic meeting.

DAY OF RECKONING.

"A real parasite, witli 2-t convictions,"was the description given of WilliamKins; (34). chn.ryed with having i»3Ulli-cient lawful meaii3 of support.

When"rested he had sixpence.I Three 'months in Mount Eden <""aoluvas the remedy presc ib d by Mr. J. W.jFoynton, S.M./for KingV, tired feclin-s.

No More Chances.Four convictions were shown on tHe

record of Albert Joseph Gardener (TG).I who had bpen given for 12Imonths on one charge. Detective Mcklejohn deposed to 'having seen Garden rconsorting with convicted and dthieves on variou.3 dates.

The Magistrate agreed with the ChiefDetective that Gardener had had hischance. Having thrown it away hewould serve two months in Mount EdenGaoL

Promised to Go Straight.An urgent appeal for leniency was

made iby Mr. .T. J. Su:livan in the ease ofFrederick William Gardener (34), brothc"iof the lust-mentioned accused. The!charge of 'habitually consorting withireputed thieves was admitted. Dr.nkwas his besetting am, said Mr. Sullivan,and had it not been for that faut hemight not have been charged today.Would the magistrate give Gardener achance for the cake of his wife andfamily whom he was support'ng? Hehad not been convicted previously onany charge involving disMonesty.

On condition that Garden r abstained:from liquor—he would have to tike outJα prohibition order—he wa- ordered tocome up for sentence at any time with ntwelve months. Whether or not he wentto gaol depended upon himself.

A Robber of the Drunk."Won't you let mc go co I can see my

poor old ni'ther die?" was the plea ofHolt (53), also charged with con-

sorting with t'Meves. Nineteen previousconvictions—one for sly grog selling andone for being an incorrigibl' ogue—ft "od to the discredit of Holt. He al egedthat ho was an oyotw-opener, but iheChief Detective ren arked t' at his occu-pation was more properly that of robbing•'drunks" and consorting with thieve*.

Holt was allowed to go fiee till Wed-nesday next in order that he mi ht teehis mother. "And if you don't comeback yourself without eomeone to brigyou I'll remember it w'lK'n they do gatyou," was his Worsh'p's parting warning.

A Chance to Redeem Himself.The fact that he had no previous con-

victions, and had served honourably duxing the war, led the magist ate to ;d----journ the case for 12 months, whenRobert Caffrey (38), for whomMr. Maysapeared, was charged with cunsortingIwith thieves. Counsel promised that■accused would go back to work in the[country, where lie would endeavour towin back his eelf-Tespcct.

INDIAN WOMEN.

DISCARD VEIL

ATTACK CHILD MARRIAGE.

LEAD AWAKENING OF ASIATICWOMEN.

(By DREW PEARSON.)

MADRAS (India).In the awakening of womanhood now

spreading over Asia, women of India aretaking the lpad.

Having visited most of tho Asiaticcountries since the war, I consider thatthe most hopeful movement in all theEast is the progress of its women.

In Japan women were not onlyteachers, clerks, and stenographers, butactually collected tickets in trams andmotor buses. Even more revolutionary,they hud organised an InternationalWomen's League for Freedom and Peace,and were demanding protection for theirsons against war. This in militaristJapan! Chinese women were rebellingagainst fnot-bindir", worp •■•<>■ ■ rbirth control, organising trade unions,and demanding the right of equal sui-frage- Commonplace movements inAustralia or New Zealand, of course, butin four-thoußand-year-old China, as-tounding!

The enslaved women of Turkey haveshocked the Mohammedan world by put-ting aside their veils. Armenia has ap-pointed a woman as consul-general to theEmpire of Japan. The women of Pales-tine have organised the Jewish Women'sEqual Rights Association, demanding theright to inherit wealth, own their ownearnings, and act as guardians to theirown children. In Afghanistan awomen's university for the study ofmedicine has enrolled five hundred stu-dents. In Burma, women morMinntshave captured most of the retail trade,and are strenuously demanding the vote.

Everywhere a slow hut steaclv move-ment toward the emancipation of women.But nowhere in Asia a progress tomatch that of Indian women. This,'despite tho fact that in the past nowomen have been more backward. Mybest proof of this statement I submit isthe recent grant of franchise to womenin the Bombay and Madras Presidencies:no mean achievement when one realisesthat these states have a population tentimes that of Australia, and that noother women in Asia have yet won theright to vote.

Child Marriage.The position of Indian women,once the

highest in Asia, was pulled down to thelevel of Moslem civilisation with thelatter invasion six centuries ago- TheMoslems, accustomed to seeing respect-able women veiled, treated the unveiledHindu women according to their ownstandards as if morally loose, and in self-protection the Hindus were compelled toveil. With this came the Indian woman'stwin curses—child marriage and childwidowhood.

Every year in India, 302,000 girls underthe «age of six, and 22,500.000 girls be-tween the ages of five and ten are joinedin matrimony to husbands wnom theyhave scarcely seen. Child marriage wasbased upon the belief that if a girl wasnot married before she reached pubertyshe was a cause for excommunication,and if she married after that her childrenwere considered illegitimate. Thisbelief is only gradually yielding to thedemands of women reformers.

So careful were Indian mothers lest 'some Dreath of scandal besmirch thenames of their daughters that they werewithdrawn from school between the a"vsof twelve and fourteen aud jealously con- jfined indoors without recreation or!exercise. This has not only resulted inthe disgracefully low literacy standardof eight per cent among women, but inill-health. The sudden assumption ofmatrimonial duties after virtual im- ipnsonment has caused an average death |rale, of 25 P°r cent.of these girl brides. IThe difficulty of marrying her daugh-ters is the greatest problem which con-fronts any mother. In the first place,the girl's husband must come from thesame caste group, but must belong toa higher sub-caste. Naturally, in hi<rhcastes the choice is limited), and thehigher the caste the smaller the choiceof a husband. Also the dowry requiredof the brides family is sometimes soheavy that it means bankruptcy. Infact, it is the fear of financial ruin orthe disgrace of an unmarried daughterin the family that causes so much in-fanticide in India. As a partial resultthere are seven million more men thanwomen in India.

Dowries Cause Suicide.One of these little girl brides, Sneha-lata, started a refornj movement whichhas swept all India. At fourteenSnehalata was still unmarried, and thedowry required by her prospective hus-band was eight hundred rupees in cashand twelve hundred rupees in jewellery.Her father, rather than face the dis-

grace of an unmarried daughter, wasabout to raise the dowry by mortgaginghis house, when Snehalata committedsuicide. She soaked her clothes in oil,touched a match to them and leapedfrom the roof-top in sight of the entireneighbourhood.

A note which she left read: "After Iam gone, father, I know you will shedtears over my ashes. I shall be ponebut the house will be saved. I havebeen pondering on the best way of end-ing my worldly pilgrimage—fire, poison,!water. I have preferred the first, andmay the conflagration I shall kindle setthe whole country on fire!"

It did. Several girls followed her ex- 'ample, and suicide proved more effec-tive than hours of lectures and tons ofphamphlets.

Child Widows.Among the .evils which spring from

child marriage one of the worst is childwidowhood. Until the British Govern-ment prohibited the practice, widowswere burned oT buried alive with theirhusbands. Even to-day the life of the2).000,000 widows in India is littlebetter than life imprisonment. In tlieipast, a widow could not remarry and!was forced to shave her hair. Even to-day custom forbid3her to wear flowersor jewellery, and she becomes themonial servant in the family of herrelatives. This has been especially hardupon the little girls, some of ' whomhave scarcely seen their husbands,n-hen the latter have been taken away!and their wives must suffer the curseof widowhood during their entire lives.It is not surprising that many choosesuicide as an alternative. i

Though the Government passed a lawlegalising the remarriage of widowsHindu religion does not sanction this]and more has been done to improve thecondition of widows by establishinghomes for them and by the creation ofpublic opinion by the Widows" Re-marriage Association and the HinduWidows' Home f

Other enouraging reforms Lave aimedat India's root evil, child marriage. TheGo%-ernment law raising the age of con-sent from ten to twelve has been poorlyenforced, but the Hindu MarriageReform

I Society has performed a great service in! influencing public opinion. With 98jbranches established throughout tie1country, its chief work has been t •secure vows from sons and fathers notto marry or permit their sons to marrygirls under the age of sixteen. So suc-cessfully has this campaign been carriedout in the Bombay Presidency that fewgirls now become mothers before 17.

Imprisoned by the Veil.Madras Presidency is close behind and

loads all other States in freeing itswomen from the veil. The veil was nota mere symbol of woman's seclusion; itwas in actual practice a prison barringits wearer from the world more effec-tively than prison walls. No man savefather, husband, or brother might gazeat the face behind. All other men wereenemies. Its wearer rode to church in-side a curtained carriage, and occupied apart of the temple screened off from theeves of male worshippers. Hamperedbreathing produced tubercular glands,and tight veils pushed noses to one side.Even the doctor was not allowed to seehis patient's face, but could only feel thepulse of her wrist, thrust from behind acurtain.

The veil was, however, the mark ofrespectability, a protection to whichwomen clung, an institution with rootsfixed deep in the life of India. Imagine,therefore, what a revolutionary act itwas to remove the veil. But this has-been practically accomplished, onlyMohammedan women still clinging tctheir age-long custom.

To-day even Mohammedan womenhave joined their Hindu sisters asNationalist agitators for Home Rule, andhave taken their places in picket lines,on political platforms, and even as volun-teers carrying the Nationalist flag in theopen streets.

BIG CITY LOAN.

FOB IMPORTANT WORKS.

TO BE EXPLAINED BY MAYOR.

In order that the ratepayers maythoroughly understand the importance ofthe £700,000 loan proposals that, are tocome before them at the forthcomingpoll, the Mayor (Mr. J. H. Gunson) isto address a public meeting in the con-cert chamber of the Town Hall on Mon-day evening next.

LABOUR LEADERS VIEW.

(By Telefrrapb —Sr-e-lal to "Star. ,,)WELLINGTON', this day.

The prcmouncpmpnt of the ArbitrationCourt upon the rffect on wages of thecost of living ftatinics was briefly criti-cised by Mr. J. Head, president of theWellington Trades arid Labour Council,which "recently m::dt- rrprofcntation? tothe Court upon the question of TentnKAlluding to the remark made by theCourt in respect to the ownor-oecupier,Mr. Kead said the council fully approvedIt the principle of working peoplelooming owners of their oivn dwellings,but he pointed out that usually it tookthe average working man a very long jtime to pay off his commitments in •making such purchase. "In most cases," :he said, '"we simply lake the landlordoff his hack to put the mortgage on hisowe. Even in the best circumstancesthe average worker i? going to be from20 to 30 years paying off the cost of theproperty he has undertaken to buy.From information that has come beforethe Wellington Trades and LabourCouncil, and al?o from advertisementsthat appear in the daily Press day byday it is quite apparent that rents rang-ing from £2 to £3 per week are being

asked for moderate sized houses contain-ing, say, five rooms. We have no definiteinformation to show that the Court'scontentions in regard to general aspectof rents are not correct. The Court'sexplanation, however, does not ease thesituation to people who are called uponto pay heavy rentals even under themost favourable conditions. We stillcontend that the weekly wage for un-skilled workers laid down by the Court,amounting to a sum £3 16/1, is certainlynot sufficient for a married man, evenwith no family, who has to meet thecost of living at the present time.

Proceeding, Mr. Read the por-tionof the Court's pronouncement whichgave 20.31 per cent as the weight to beallocated to rent in compilation of thecost of living index numbers. Thatwould indicate, he stated, that theCourt allows roughly one-fifth of thetotal weekly wage for rent. The oldidea used to be that never in any cir-cumstances fhould rent exceed one day'swages a week. Four pounds a week is,in the opinion of the council, the abso-lute rock bottom rate that ought to begrantedas a living wage for a marriedman by any tribunal that has a propersense of proportion and of the require-ments of modern civilised life."

HATCHET BURIED.

COUNTRY RUGBY GRIEVANCES.A STATESMANLIKE PROPOSAL.

"The hatchet is buried, and out ofthe dispute has come a statesmanlikeproposal that has my fullest support," jremarked the chairman of the NewZealand Rugby Union Management|Committee (Mr. S. S. Dean) on hisreturn to "Wellington from Marton,where he went to preside over a confer-once of Rugby Unions from Wanganui,Ranpitikei, and Taihape, to discuss theirrelative statu3 and the grievance held inTaihape that their association withWanganui was not for the bpttermentof Rugby in the northern part of theunion's territory.

While at the conterence Mr. Dean: took the opportunity to give an empha- jtic denial to a statement published inAuckland tliat the New Zealand RugbyUnion intended to adopt a policy oflinking up Taranaki, "Wanganui, Mana-watu, and Rangitikei.

Northern delegate? said that the timehad come for Taihape to be affiliatedwith the New Zealand Rugby Union,possibly with headquarters at Marton.The Taihape delegate (Mr. Kelsall) saidthat there was no real grievance againstWanganui, but they wanted their ownmanagement.

Mr. Dean held out little hope for theformation of new unions. There should,he said, be some blending such as Mana-watu and Horowhenua, Wairarapa andBush, Thames Valley and Waikato.The North Island had two unions forevery one in the South. Any step to-wards severance would weaken existingunions and add more representativematches to the already overcrowdedprogramme. Nearly every team thatwent on tour last season was defeated.

;He urged them to settle their differencesand make their union with Wanganui(closer.

Then came the statesmanlike proposalfrom Dr. Adams,on behalf of Wanganui.Hβ suggested a sub-union in Wanganui,with Wairoa, Wainui, Ttangitikei, andTaihape; the president and secretary tobe Wanganui residents; the vice-presi-dents to be representatives of the sub-unions; two Wanganui members to beon the committee and one each from thesub-unions. His proposal, he said, wasbased on proportional representation,each sub-union to have five votes. Hesuggested c sole selector to choose a

i team from the nominees of the sub-unions.

Mr. W. S. Glenn, M.P., of the Rangi-tikei Sub-union, also a member of theNew Zealand Management Committee,endorsed the proposal, which, aftergeneral commendation, was passed forsubmission to the sub-unions. -HIGHER FERRY DUES.

COJfFIKKED BY HARBOURBOARD.

INCREASE OF £3200.

According to the scale drawn up bythe Works Committee of the AucklandHarbour Board, the increased dues to

(which, according to the chairman (Mr.'H. R. Mackenzie) would give the Boarda return of about four and three-quartergper cent on the capital. Referring u> thenet capital cost of wharvee, etc., Mr.Mackenzie said it was £99,503, thedifference between that sum and the£90,338 (the figures submitted to Mr.Justice Hosking who sat at a RoyalCommission) being accounted for by ex-tensions and additions. Mr. Mackenziealso pointed out that the Board's criticshad omitted to allow for lighting andcleaning the wharves.i The Hon. E. W. Alison moved that'the charges be increased only half theamount proposed by the Works Com-mittee, but this was defeated by eightvotes to five, and the Works Committee trecommendations as modified wenadopted by the Board.

MOUNT ALBERT LOANS.

TO-MORROW'S POLL.

THE ASSOCIATION'S ATTITUDE.

"Does the traffic on the road warrantit being put down in concrete?" was apertinent question put at a meeting ofMount Albert ratepayers called by theRatepayers" Association, at the Presby-terian Hall last night. ''Wedon't know,but we want to give you the opportunityof Baying so." This question and replytypically sums up the attitude of theRatepayers' Association, which has beenconsistently urging the Mount AlbertBorough Council to put down in con- ,crete the Edendale Road, along whichthe tramway system is to be extended.

At the meeting last night Mr. L. H.Crawford, president of the association,presided over an attendance of about 70,and the history of the attitude of thetwo bodies was' fully gone into. It wasexplained by the secretary, Mr. M. O'Cal-laghan, that a wrong interpretationhadbeen placed on the ratepayers' attitudeby the statement of the Mayor of Auck-land, who had been made conversantwith only half the truth by the Mayorof Mount Albert. The result was that"a twisted and distorted report!' hadbeen reprinted and circulated among theratepayers. The speaker again empha-sised that all that they were workingfor was the opportunity for the peopleof saying whether they should have aconcrete road or bitumen. The associa-tion was not attempting to dictate tothe council: it was out to help it. Therewas now at this stage no alternative butto support the loan under protest.

Subsequently a motion to this effectwas carried.

In regard to the other two loan pro-posals which are to be put before theIratepayers to-morrow it was explainedithat theexecutive ot the association haddecided to take quite an impartial atti-tude.

A motion was carried expressingappreciation of the association's attitudethroughout the negotiations.

Before the meeting closed Mr. K. t.Matthews, a member of the council, gavea short address.

The three proposals are as follows:Edendale Road construction in maca-damised bitumen, £16,500; municipalOffices, £6000; quarry site, £5000.

The five polling booths will be openfrom 9 a.m. to 7 p-m. They arc as fol-

AMALGAMATION NOT FAVOURED.

A letter embodying a resolutionpassed at a meeting of Mount Eden resi-dents on October 8, convened by Messrs.C. Hudson and J. B. Findlay, was re-ceived at the Mount Eden BoroughCouncil at its meeting last evening. TheMayor (Mr. E. H. Potter) moved that areply be sent stating that the popula-tion* of Mount Eden was ]G,OOO, and togive effect to the resolution requestingthe council to convene a meeting to

idiscuss the scheme would mean not onemeeting, but several, and considerableagitation. This was undesirable at the

ipresent time, when many urgent workswere under consideration. It was con-sidered that the matter was best left inthe promoters' hands to follow anycouse they may desire. If the councilwere assured that there was sufficientweight of opinion behind the request itwas prepared to call a meeting, but itscarcely considered that evidence of suchdesire had at present been furnished.

The motion was adopted.

Ro=edav frightened the opposition out ofthe Gore "Cup, and there were only two tooppose him. The speculation on themachine was limited, Roseday being anodds-on favourite. He justified this bywinning, hard held, by a length from CornRlg-s, with Silent King ten leng-ttis away.

Equally good results are being ob-tained daily by the use oi De Witt'sPUIb, and every reader who suffers withjoint pains or any form of Uric AcidTrouble should decide to give thisremedy a trial.

CHURCH OF ST. PATRICK.

"ANCIENT MOTHER CHURCH."GREETINGS FROM AUCKLAND.

"A great change lias been created, forbetter or for worse—and God onlyknoivs which it will be. The Free Statelias been declared over the greater partof Ireland, with Ulster standing alone.No Irishman will be satisfied with that.There should be and must yet be aunited Ireland," said Archdeacon Mac-Murray yesterdny. "The truth aboutthe condition of Ireland during the pastlive yeura has never been made known,and we in New Zealand have had littleidea of the dangers and difficulties ofthe people of the Church, of Ireland.There is a problem yet in Ireland whichwill create tremendous trouble iv thedays to come."

Archdeacon MacMurray then trent onto say that the old Mother Church ofIreland would, by the blessing of God,

' prosper and grow strong, and he moved:"That this Synod has received with

gTeat pleasure the greetinge of hisGrace the Lord Primate of All Ireland.Churchmen in New Zealand havewatched the progress of events in recentyears in Ireland, and more particularlyas they have affected our brethren oftho ancient and historic Church of St.

This Synod prays Almighty.jGod to give his protection and blessingon the Ancient Church, and enable it tobe an increasing means of blessing inspreading the gospel of peace and good-will amongst tho Irish people andamongst all men."

FINE MARGIN OF PROFIT.

TINDER HALF PER CENT.

KEASOX FOR AUCTIONEER'SFAILURE.

"Any fool ca.n sell goods, if he floes Itfor no profit," was a remark made byMr. W. S. Rsher, Official Assignee inBankruptcy, at a meeting of creditorsyesterday afternoon. It was in answerto a statement by a creditor that thebankrupt had been building up abusiness as was shown by the etcadyincrease in sales.

The meeting was of creditors inthe cstato of John Craven Garden,auctioneer and storekeeper of Pukekohe.Mr. Mahoney attended on behalf of thebankrupt. Mr. W. S. Fisher, OfficialAssignee in bankruptcy, presided, and inopening said that apparently there hadbeen c. lose in 18 months of £1495. Thestock realised £555, and there wouldprobably be enough to pay a. dividendof 3/3 in the £. Mr. Fisher said the•book debts were coming in very slowly.The total debts were £330 13/3, endof that £70 had been collected.

■The report by Mr. Steadman, publicaccountant was then read, which wasdivided into three periods. In the first,period sales totalled £2,248 9/7,.grossprofit -was only equal to 5.78 per cent,ajid tie. loss £203 4/11. The next periodsales totalled £5,848 12/9, gro6s profit10.5 per cent, loss for six months£152 17/2. The total loss for the firsteleven months was £35*5 2/1. In thethird period sales totalled £7,863- 2/4,the gross profit was only £38 14/8, or49 per cent.

The accountant's report added that thelosses were due to selling goods.*t toolow prices. The 'books were properlykept, and there was nothing to indicatethere had been any leakage.

Air. Fisher said*t was a case of start-ing without capital, «nd selling at 10-wprices to get in money to pay theaccounts.

Mr. Mahoney said the bankrupt wassimply trying to build up a business.Unfortunately his business experiencehad been in the jvholesale and produce.He was not experienced in retailbusiness. He started from zero and heendeavoured to get more capital in justthe same as some big companies haddone, and when he realised things weregetting bad, the bankrupt endeavouredto cut down purchases. The businesswas a growing one, and the reportshowed that the sales -were increasingeach period. He was quite satisfiedthat had capital been got in the businesscould have been made a success. Mr.Mahoney also commented upon the easewith which credit was given to a youngman by the merchants of Auckland.

Mr. Hunter moved, and Mr. Shepherdseconded, that the matter be referredto the Crown. Solicitor.

Mr. Hosking argued that no goodpurpose would 'be served by doing that,and upon the matter being put to thevote, the motion was declared lost bya majority in value.

GUNRUNNING.ARMS FOR CHINA.

(From Our Own Correspouuent.)SYDNEY, October 19.

Fifteen German revolvers and fivethousand rounds of ammunition werefound by the Sydney Customs searcherson Tuesday, stowed away on the DutchSteamer Palembang, which had arrivedin port from Rotterdam in themorning.The Palembang carries a Chinese crew,and great significance is attached to the.discovery. It is believed that the find isassociated with, information available•here concerning thesmugglingof arms toChina through Australian ports forrevo-lutionary risings in China.

The arms and ammunition were foundhidden in the bunkers and around theboilers. An examination revealed thatthe revolvers were of the latest Germantype of automatic pistol. The revolverswere evidently placed on the chip atsome European port early in thevoyage. They bore evidence of havingbeen stored away for many weeks. Allthe joints were covered in coal dust andthe brightness of the new steel had dis-appeared... The ammunition, however,was well protected in paper coverings,and was in good condition.

For manymonths there has been men-tion in the chief ports here that thistraffickinghas, been carried on on shipsbound for China. In other ports of theworld there is extensive smuggling offirearms on vessels with China as theirdestination. There is a great demandin parts of China for firearms, and it iano secret that fortunes have been madebjr this trafjickiag, ,

BOWLING.

A WET OPENING DAY.PRESIDENT S GRAND TOUR.

(By TKUNDLEIt.)

The steady downpour of rain last Satur-day afternoon, and the miserably cold after-noon on the previous Saturday, muM nu\<-been a hugu dlsuppoiuuneut to the Hun-dreds of bowlers who had been iookiiir iui-

ward to an enjoyable opening day, besidesdestroying the pleasure of the ladies. UM*Saturday it was probably eveu more pro-voking to find such n wet afternoon fol-

lowed by one of the most glorious days lv.

have had this year. The frequent exneri-euee of the erratic nature ot the wcatm-rduring the spriug lends great support to asuggestion that has often been put forward,but which very few clubs have bo faradopted. The idea is to quietly open thesummer season without any omeuU cero-mony, and then to liuve a formal gatutrini,later on In the summer, when the weatheris morereliable, and much more suitable forsuccessful outdoor functions, 'lliose clubswhich adopted this scheme have goodrcusou to congratulate themselves on escap-ing the disappointment of last Saturday.Epsom opened quite Informally, and aresubstituting an "at home" duringmonth of February, while Auckland andMount Wellington have both hit on 1-euru-nry for a similar function. Avondn c andPapatoetoe have also held over their offi-cial opening—the latter till nest Saturday,and the former till the Saturday in

November—and they both have the bestwishes of all bowlers for a tine day. Butin addition to the reasonable possibility orstriking better weather later «n, tnorowould be the added advantage of cnahiiiu,each function to be officially visited bymembers of the central executive. It tncceremonies were spread over a couple 01months. Last Saturday this was quite Im-possible, for the executive does not com-prise sufficient members to go round. Thepresident Sir .1 W. Hardley. made agallant attempt to get over the difficulty bytaking a flying trip round '"^.J^ 1/- ",""a! M.

SBryd

CcnTPbut

ethey only managed six

clubs during the afternoon, and even withthe rest of the executive well spread outthere were some clubs who had no repre-sentative of the centre In attendance. ThisIs a matter that will no doubt receive fullconsideration before next October f»riharguments in favour of delaying the oineiui

function have been greatly strengthenea nj

the unfortunate experience of last Satur-day's drenchlnc rain.

A Triumphal Progress.The preßident of the centre told the mem-

bers of the Went Knd Club that noboil*enjoyed a game better than he did, but that,

on a day when so many clubs were openinghe considered it bis duty to forego ownpleasure and carry out the responsibilitiesof his office. As the nfternoon advanced,however, the eenee of duty must haveentirely disappeared, to be replaced by therealisation of keen enjoyment and pleasure,for the tour partook very much ot tncnature of a triumphal progress through thecity and suburbs, co hearty and spontaiieous were the. receptions at the variousclubs visited. Mr. Hardley had alreadyattended the official opening of his ownclub. West End, and while the membersand their visitors were assembling he hadtaken the opportunity to quietly slip roundto the Ponsonby preen, just to convey tothe president of the club. Mr. T. 11. Chap-man, the good wishPß of the centre and itsexecutive. But any regrets at having toleave West End were soon swallowed up in

the cordial greeting at Ilawhltl. the BTRtgreen visited by the president and the sec-retary They wore Boon made to feel thatthey "were on familiar ground, and In con-genial company, for the president of theclub Councillor 3. B. l'aterson. at once ad-vanced to meet his colleagnc, Councillor J,W. Hardley, and the Deputy Mayor ofMount Eden, and conducted them to thepavilion. The bell rang, the frames werestopped, and Mr. Peterson led the membersof Rawhlti In an enthusiastic demonstrationof loyalty to the centre, accompanied bypersonal 'regard for the president and sec-retary, which must have been exceedinglyeratlfvine to those offlccrs. It matterednot that the orchestra led the assembledcompany In strains of music that were old

nnd familiar, nor that the words had alsobeen heard hundreds of times before: it wasthe wftrmth of the welcome that counted,

and the president and secretary both ex-pressed In feellnß terms their appreciationof Mr. Paterson's remarks, and also of tncsupport that had been given to them by tueassembled members. .

A similar scene was enacted at Ellerelle.the next port of call, where the visitor*were met by the president, Mr. W. h.Gavey. and the secretary, Mr. J. A. God-frey, and taken to afternoon tea.Gave*- then stopped the play and assembledthe members, while be cave n public wel-come to the principal officers of the centre,Mr. Hardlcy responding In terms of keenappreciation. . n.

It wns quite Intended to run ont to Otn-hubu next, but the afternoon was Rettingon and the weather growing worse andworse, eo'lt was decided to abandon thattrip In case al the members had gone home,and visit Edendnle find Rocky Nookinstead. Play hnd-already ceased at Eden-dale and Mr. Hardley conveyed the -goodwishes of the Centre to the president. MrC. n. Taylor, and the members assembledin the pavilion.

A Gay Company.At Itocky Nook Play nad also been aban-

doned, but most of the members were stillIn the pavilion, and they gave the officialsof the Centre a right royal welcome. Inthe absence or the patron, the Hon. GeorgeFowlds, and the president, Mr. John Bous-kill, who had both left after officiating atthe opening ceremony, Mr. Dolph' KagletonInstantly rose to the occasion, turning theconcert that was la progress Into animpromptu welcome. In which he wns1heartily supported by a company of mem-bers and ladies who filled the pavilion andthe balcony. Mr. Eagleton again provedhis versatility by Improvising a musicalresponse to many of the references madeby Mr. Hardley and Mr. Bryden, and thevisitors reluctantly left a gay company ofenthusiasts to the strains of a musicalfarewell which accompanied them to thegate.

After such a reception -at Rocky Kook,the touring officials did not like to go homewithout calling at Onehunga, and theyare not likely to forget their decision totake a run out to the Manukau. Play hadlong ceased on the green, but other playwas in progress, and this instantly ceasedwhen Mr. Hardley and Mr. Bryden enteredthe pavilion. In the absence of the presi-dent, Mr. T. S. Bassett Introduced them tothe members present, and they again ex-perienced the warmth of a. "bowl-hearted"welcome. In a few well-chosen words Mr.Bassett assured the visitors of the club'sappreciation of theirpresence, especially ona day when they were in such generalrequest all over the city, and the musicalhonours that • supported his remarks leftno doubt that he had correctly voiced thesentiments of all the members who hadfortunately stayed at the pavilion.

Mr. Hardley apologised at one of the•receptions last Saturday, and expressed hisregret that he had been unable to visit theIndividual clubs more frequently. Mr. Bry-den explained that it was the policy of thoCentre Executive to visit officially as manyclubs as possible, and after tho extraordi-nary warmth of the welcome that greetedthem everywhere lasi Saturday it is safeto venture the forecast that this policywill be extended, and not curtailed.

The Largest Centre.At one of the clubs last Saturday, Mr.

Bryden remarked that when he wasappointed secretary to the Centre therewere only 15 clubs. They Increased to 40.and the district was cut Into two sections,to allow of the formation of the SouthAuckland Centre. Auckland kept on grow-ing, and there were now 44 clubs affiliated,making Auckland the largest Centre in thedominion. The question now arose as towhether the time had arrived when a newCentre should be formed by cutting off thenorthern part of the province.

"A pleasant surprise awaited eorao oftliose present tit West End last Saturday.Howlers are well Rccustomod to the oratoryof the president of the Centre, Mr. J. W.Hardley, but It was not generally knownthat the president of AVcst Knd, Mr. C. E.Hiirdlcy, Is equally proficient, and even thedeputy-Mayor of Mount JSden expressed hisdillldonco In following two such accom-plished speakers. Mr. Kryden al«o paid atribute to the valuable assistance Mr. J.\V. Ilnrdlcy had received from his wife,who was an ideal president's wife, and themembers were also under a debt of Kratl-tude to Mrs. C. B. Tlardley for the inaivnifl-eent iirrauuemeuts that had been made lorthat day.

Ah n matter of fact, the president ofWest Knd Is not only encrom-hlng on hiselder brother's ground by emulating himin tho lield of oratory, but Is doiui; muchthe same on the green itself. Jt will beremembered that the president of theCentre skipped a team at Dominion Roadon the previous Saturday which won l>>--80 to 8, a margin ot '£2.. The president ofWest Knd had the good fortune to meetthu champion skips of"iN'cw //calami duringtheir local tournament on Labour Day, andhe won by exactly tho Bainc~margin. Itwill hardly be believed, however, althoughIt is an absolute fact, that on this occasionthe score was not o0 to 8, but 22 to nil!

The West Knd Club has recently elected25 new members, and lie they have rencnraithe limit of their accommodation they havenow been compelled to limit the member-ship of that popular club.

Mr. A. C. Tonkin, one of the foundersof West End Club, a former president, andrecently elected a life member, was given« hearty welcome last Saturday. Mr. J. W.Hardley referred to him as the representa-tive on the Centre Executive of the countryclubs.

The beautiful little «llver jack that wasthrown ncross the green by Mrs. C. IC. Hard-ley was the gift of Mr. Tonkin, and on itare seen the names of all the ladies whohave performed a similar ceremony on pre-vious occasions.

In the course of his remarks last Satur-day. Mr. J. \V. Hardley Bald that someyears ago he had been honoured with thepresidency of the West Knd Club, but hehad little thought that the day would everarrive when he, as president of the Centre,would have the further pleasureof erectinghis own brother as president of his oldclub. The applause that Interrupted hisremark showed that the choice in each casehad been most popular.

tary of the Ceutre propose to visit StanleyClub, to assist at their official opening.The vice-president, Mr. T. It. George, isgoing to Mount Eden, accompanied by Mr..T. A. Snedden. while four members of theCentre Executive propose to take a trip toDucklnnd for the ofllclal opening. Theparty consists of Messrs. C. V. "Langsrord,O. L. Gladding, A. I'ursons and A. C. Ton-kin. Pupatoetoe and Ilowlck arc also open-ing next Saturday, but It sepins Impossibleto represent the Ceutre at their ceremonies,and n visit will most likely be arrangedlater In tho season.

The holders of the Dcnlson Scarf Pins aremeeting a challenge from Onehunga thisafternoon. Last Wednesday the donor ofthe beautiful trophies. Mr. Walter Denlson,had the pleasure of defending them In theQret round, when he wiirded off a challengefrom Stanley. The striking feature in thegame, outside the high standard of playwhich continued throughout, was the sen-sational finish. It Is probably unique inthe annals of bowls for a skip to 'be fivedown when he came to play his lnfct wood,and to trail the Jack for shot, this beinghis only bowl on the green, and even itwas in the ditch.

AUCKLAND DIOCESE.

ASSISTANT BISHOP REQUIRED.

PBGEITT REPRESENTATIONSMADE.

THE BOiIAN CATHOLIC EXAMPLE.

The need for an assistant-bishop toaid in the work of adminisuring thediocese, was stressed at the AnjtlcanSynod yester'ay. when Mr. C. -1. lunksmoved for expression of approval of t.iesuggestion for fne appointment 01 assist-ant bishops for New Zealand, containedin the addre« to the Synod of thejiicrht Rev. the Bishop, and requestingthe standing eommiuee to consider thefinancial aspect of tlie matter as itwould affect this diocese, and to reportat next session of the Synod.

In moving the resolution. }Ir. Tunkssaid that their Roman Catfro-lic brethrenhad given them a lead in this matter.There" was a coadjutor assistant to tht-Roman Catholic Bishop, and it seem'dto him that a.n assistant to BishopAverill could only lead to the extensionand strengthening of tlie work of theChurch. (ApplaiL-el. If it was fair thatparish priests should have curat.es toassist them, it was even more necessarythat their Bishop should b<? given assist-ance to keep ap with the work he wasexpected to do. They should take theircouraz-e in their handl! and press th'smatter forward so that provi-ion c.mldbe made for .better working of thediocese than had been possible underexirtir.fr conditions.

Archdeacon MacMurray declared, amidapplause, t)hat there was no harder■worked clergyman jin Auckland thanBishop Averill, and he did not knowhow his Liordship was β-oing to continueto do this work without breaking down,unless he not assistance. The assista-nthisbop should be a young energetic man.able to run over the length and breadthof the diocese and relieve the Bishop ofa great deal of arduous travelling. It•would be a grave reflection on. theichurchanansM'p of 'people of thediocese if the Bishop were allowed to goon until he fell baneath the burden.

Canon Haselden said there had beenno reduction in the size of the dioceseernce 1859, 'jut there had be n atremendous increase in the population,end in the work of the Bishop. The timelad arrived when the diocese must fa-cethe question of providing an assistantbishop—and face it quickly.'

After the motion had been furthercordially supported, it was carriedunanimously.

Mr. and Mrs. Ambury, Mr. and Mrs.Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Stratford, Mrs.Maskell, Mrs. Banks, Miss Ellis, MiseCurtis, Miss Lome, Mise Bishop, Mr.Lochart, and Mr. Baker are staying atHotel Mon Desir, Takapuna. Monday,being a special holiday, an orchestra wasin attendance during lunch and dinner.

Bayswater is en feto this week inhonour of the opening of the new boat-house and hall for the Takapuna Boat-ing Club. This fine building stands justabove the Bayswater wharf .-ynd over-looking the placid waters of Shoal Bay.It has three wide balconies, commandinga beautiful view of the harbour. Detailsof the building have already been pub-lished. The building was formallyopened on Saturday afternoon last byCommander Miles, of H.M.s. Philomel,and present on the stage with him wereMrs. Miles, Mr. and Mrs. Gould, Mr.Alex. Harris, M.P., Commodore and Mrs.Moller, Mrs. Forsyth, Mr. and Mrs.Forsyth, Mr. and Mrs. Eamband, andmany others. The occasion also markedthe opening of the Bagdad OrientalBazaar, an attractive and spectacularaffair. The whole of the interior wallshave been hung with canvas, and paintedto represent a street scene in Bagdad.Mr. H. Melville has carried out thisportion of the work, and the effect isvery realistic. In typical Eastern style,the booths are set neath gaily colouredcanopies. The whole effect, with itsEastern dresses, is decidedly novel. Thegaily coloured costumes, with theirfigured veilings, are a striking' feature,and the harem dress lends a charm to apicturesque costume. There are manybooths, whose attendants are in Easterndress, as follows:—Work stall, costumedin silver and black; fancy stall, inpurple and gold; pot plants and flowers,in figured blue; children's "orner,blue and white; the produce stall, blueand gold; sweet stall, Turkish striping;ice cream, green and white; the cashierswear chocolate and tangerine; the wis-taria tea rooms, on the second floor bal-cony, are conducted beneath a pergolaof yellow and blue wistaria, where visi-tors enjoyed a dainty cup of tea with thebeautiful harbour at their feet. Thebazaar represents many months of work,and excellent business is being done.

AT HOME AND ABROAD.BATIK DYEING.

The art of Batik dyeing is not too"difficult for an amateur, states a writerin an exchange. Just remember thesetwo facts: First, dye will not takethrough wax; second, light shades willtake darker colours, but dark colours;will not take lightertones. Pink can bedyed red, but red cannot be dyed pink.Bearing this in mind, I am ready tobegin. I Vish to make a yellow andblue sport scarf states the writer. Forthis I buy 2J yards of yellow crepe dechine, 40 inches wide, which I cut inhalves 'so that each piece measures 1\yards long by 20 inches wide. One pieceI put aside for the present; with theother I begin to make the scarf. On thetwo enda I mark off a four-inch borderby drawing a pencil line on the fabric,parallel with the 20-inch side. BecauseI want this scarf to be a yellow onewith blue borders, I cover all the mate-rial in the centre between these twopencil rules with wax. . To do this I heatin a small pot equal quantities of purebeeswax (which comes in dark yellowcakes) and white paraffin (also in cakeform). After these become liquid Ilowerthe flame to keep the wax in its meltedform throughout the next process.I then apply this wax to the goods

with a brush, 'just as if I were paintingany surface, covering all the materialexcept those parts which I want thedyeto take—that is, the borders. I stretchmy cloth across two chairs so that theportion which I am waxing will not reston anything, but will be suspended inthe air. In this way the wax soaksthrough to the other side* of the fabricand dries almost as soon as it is applied.To make sure that the surface has beenthoroughly waxed, I hold my scarf-to-beup to the light to see whether any spotsare uncovered which should be covered.I remedy defects simply by applying thebrush as before.

Now I am ready for"crackling," whichgives Batik the pretty cracked-marbleeffect., I twist my waxed material muchas if I were wringing clothes, crackingthe wax unevenly. Wherever the waxcracks the blue dye will take, giving thematerial between the borders thatcrinkly blue and yellow impressionwhich makes Batik so attractive. 'Myyellow crepe de chine is now ready forthe dye bath.

For this I use a package of blue dye(any brand of dye which must be boiledwill do), following-the directions on thepackage. However, Ido not use the dyebath while it is hot. After it has cooledI immerse the entire material. When Iam sure that the dye has run into all thecracks in the wax, and the unwaxed por-tions are thoroughly coloured, I take thematerial out, shake it well, and hang itup to dry.

WLen it is thoroughly dry I dip mycoloured fabric in a basin of gasolineand rub it well to dissolve all the wax.A little may still remain, however. Ifso, I take a hot iron and press my scarfbetween newspaper to take out stubbornbits of wax and smooth the finishedproduct.

Now that I have finished one Batikarticle, making more of them is a simplematter. With the other half of the 2jyard piece of yellow crepe de chine andthe same dye bath I can make anotheryellow and blue scarf of a differentdesign, by varying tlie border, by mark-ingoff boxes or narrow stripes. II ■ With the same dye bath and the same'application of rules, I can make anynumber oT wliite-and-blue,pink-and-blue,yellow-and-bluc, or green-and-bluehandkerchiefs or ties, beginning witheither a white, pink, yellow or greenpiece of material Lovely sashes of chif-fon or chinasilk can be made in the sameway. Any colour can be used for thefoundation, provided the dye bath is adarker colour. Of course, as many dif-ferent colours can be used as one wishes,provided one has time and sufficientinterest to vary the colour combinations.

Batiked materialsare not to be washedwith soap and water. They are cleansedby soaking for about 10 minutes in a,basin of gasoline.CLEANING FEATHER PILLOWS AND

BEDS. iWashing and disinfecting the feathers

of a bed or pillow is not really such animpossible task as would seem at firstthought. All it needs is a little troubleand patiencp, for the whole processoccupies something like a fortnight—thedrying of the feathers, of course, takingup most time.' This refers to a bed-The time required for a pillow is in pro- Iportion. |

Lime water is the cleansingagent, and'it should be prepared as follows: Foreach gallon of water necessary (that isin accordance with the quantity of fea-thers, to be cleansed) mix with it lib ofquicklime. Allow it to stand till allthe nndissolved lime is at the bottom ofthe tub in the form of a fine powder, iVery gently, so as not to stir up the eedi-!ment, strain off the clear liquid for use. ]Put the feathers into a clean bath, ,and put over them the lime water. Stir!well with a copper stick till the feathersgo to the bottom of the water. Theymust be well covered--atleast a depth of3 inches. Allow them to stand for threeor four days. Then take them out and Idrain in a clean sieve. 'The question of drying next arises,and the best of possible means for thisis to place them in a bag made out ofold lace curtain or some similar articlethat wjll allow free air passage.When the feathers are all dry theyshould be beaten with a stick to get ridof *P d,ust- are then ready forrefilling bed or pillow. '

NEW USES FOR DRESS CLIPS.Valances of all sorts are used in coun-try cottages, and there is no neater orquicker way of arranging them, so thatthey, may be easily taken down, washedand replaced, than by using dress clips- 1If the valances are to be placed rounda board for window curtains, first sewon halves of the dress clips to a narrowband, of material of which the curtainsare made, and,nail the band to the boardfixing the other halves of the clips atcorresponding. intervals on the . valance iand clipping the two together.Dress clips can be used for bed valances

in the same way as for window valances,sewing a band of material with halved'clips to a mattress, and the other halvesof the clips to the valance. This doesaway with all tapes and other contri- jvances that invariably sag in parts. !Sometimes holland and other light 'blinds are only used for showin windowsthat are not overlooked, curtains beinedrawn atnight to exclude light. In thiscase the lower soiled portion of theblind can be quickly washed,ironed, andreplaced if it is fixed to the roller withdress clips. The upper portion of ablind always rolled up is clean, but mustnecessarily be taken down and washeEh-tfattached to a Boiled portion.

FARMING IN THE KING COUNTRY

ACTIVITIES AFTER THE BURN.

flTien the newly-felled bush on thesettler's holding has been burnt off, it ishighly advisable for him to do a certainamount of logging-upalong the gradientswhere he proposes to cut his stock tracksthrough the debris left by the fire, andaround the site he has chosen for hishomestead, as well as in the vicinity of

the creeks, river, or springs most suit-able' for permanent drinking places forhis stock. It is imperative that thesedrinking localities be well selected andthat the approach to them be made aseasy as possible. The actual drinkingspots chosen must be free from swampor marsh, and should be thoroughlycleared of the residue of the fire, in ordarto prevent stock getting "logged up"(jammed between the logs). If at allpossible, a gravelly bottom should beselected, as frequently weak stock arelost around the water-holes, especiallyin thewinter months, when the founda-tions of the drinking places are bad.

This work shouldbe done immediatelyafter the fire, and before grass seed issown. The lighter timbers, which are ofpo value for fencing or building pur-poses, should be placed in small heaps»gainst the larger logs. It is a mistaketo make large heaps, as this procedureentails a great amount of extra labour,and, moreover, owing to the great heatgenerated by the firing of these largepiles of timber, it is most injurious tothe soil. When large logsaxe on the lineof the proposed tracks or roadways theycan be burnt through readily by placinga small heap of wood alongside the log,»nd then placing other fair-sized logs•crossways on top of the one you desiretocut in half. This system is invariablylatisiactory, and saves endless time andlabour which would otherwise be ex-pendedin chopping and sawing.

Of course, it would be out of the ques-tion for the settler to attempt to log upthe wholeof his burn; the time and cost•would be prohibitive. Nor is thia pro-:j*dure necessary, as in a few years thesmaller timbers rot, decay, and becomeimpregnated with, the soil,, thus enablingstock to get about, to further break-inthe holding.

Yoke-Oxen.The outback pioneer on bush property ]

should endeavour to get together one or'more pairs of working bullocks, whichheyould find of great assistance to him inhis endeavours to convert the bushwilderness into grass lands. On suchholdings the bullock is much preferable>to the horse, especially in logging-upactivities, putting the split timbers alongfencing lines, and similar tasks. The'oxen are steadier, and will stand greaterhardships than the horse. They arecheaper to buy (when young, say twoyears old), and they forage for them-,selves as soon as the yokes are removed■from their necks. If a bullock gets in-jured, .about the limbs to such an extentas to permanently put him out of actionT»ara'worker he can be turned out tofatten, and may eventually be disposedof to the butcher. When a gelding isbadly injured he Incomes a total loss tohis owner.; '. Brealring-in SaSocka.

Oxen arequite easily trainedto becometoilers on the bush selection, v\£ almostany handyman can break thea in to theyoke, provided lie is acquainted with thecorrect procedure to be followed. Forthe benefit of the uninitiated the follow-ing are the customary methods used:—

Select Javo quiet and sound animalsfrom two to four years of age .(thetwo-year-olds for preference, as theyare the most tractable). Get them inbetween a large forked log, or two treeslying close together, in the abeence of ayard or proper crush pen. Secure themin-this position, and handle them forhalf an hour, by scratching or rubbingthem all over with a light pole, moreespecially around their heads, necks,and horns. When they cease to flinchat your attention, you may place theyoke in position, and make all fast.You now require to tie both tails to-gether securely, and it is also a goodpractice, to place a strong flank rope oneach animal, and conned the two. Thisis done in order that when you let theanimals out they are prevented fromturning in the yoke, and consequentlyimust remain side by side, head to head,and tail to tail. Now let them out,and drive them to the spot on the hold-ing which is clearest of fallen timbers,and allow them to remain for a soupleof days, in which time they will becomeaccustomed to the yoke and the mannerof being associated in concert, whilstthe yoke does not prevent them fromfeeding.

When one already has working bulrlocks handy, the correct procedure atthis stage is to place the young animalsin the body of an ox team, when a fewdays steady (but easy) work completestheir education.' In the absence ofother broken-in oxen the young cattlemay be hitched to a very light log, orsledge, and moved quietly and gentlyaround for about an hour at a time,until they .act correctly in concert, and

■ obey the usual words cf command,such as "Whoa," '•haw," "gee off"—mcauinp stop, come here, sheer-off. Thesane words of command must be usedat all times, otherwise the bullocks willbecome confused as to your orders.These animals are usually mostobedient, quite as tractable as mosthorses, anil very much the easier ani-mals to break-in to man's use.

Shaping Bullock Yokes.It is quite unnecessary for the

pioneer bushman to buy the woodenpart of the yokes, as" these can bemade on the property, out of any ofthe following timbers—Kata, liinau,titoki, lnaire, puriri, or mangaoe. Anyof these are excellent for the purpose,and each and every oue has a mostpowerful breaking strain, and would lastas yokes much longer than the life ofthe oldest bullock known. The mangaoeis the lightest and more easily workedwood, 'ihe timber should be split inpreference to being sawn, in order tosecure a solid lengthwise grain free from"shake" or fault. It requires (for eachyoke) to be four feet six inches inlength, and five by five inches in dia-meter. The wood is hollowed out care-fullyonboth endsto within six inches ofthe outer limits, in order to fit correctlythe necks of each bullock.

The iron parts must be obtained froma blacksmith, who would bend them tothii correct angle, and punch the slotswhich hold the iron keepers on thetop of the yoke. The completed woodwork of the yoke should be sent in tothe 'blacksmith: for the purpose of hay-

ing the ironwork fitted. The bullockpulls with the top of his neck only (thefront of the spinal column), thereforegreat care must be exercised to 6ee thatthe yoke is correctly shaped to fit theanimals, and that the surface whichbears on the pulling part of the oxen'sanatomy is perfectly smooth. This de-sired object can be easily reached bythe use of the spokeshave, then a pieceof glass, finally finishing with roughsandpaper. When one yoke has beenmads correctly the settler will have nodifficulty in manufacturing more whenhe requires them, and he will doubtlessimprove in his craftsmanship with ex-perience. Timbers such as matai, kahj-katea, kauri, rimu and totara, are use-less for 'bullock yokes, as they wouldnot stand the great strain necessary.Moreover they are extremely liable tosplit and crack in the sun, 'therefore aselection should be made from one of thewoods I have mentioned for the pro-duction of first-class yokes.

IMPORTS OF CHEESE.INTO UNITED KINGDOM.

The imports of cheese into the UnitedKingdom for the year ended June 30from all sources amounted, to 138,803tons, against 138,535 tons in the pre-vious year. In the last pre-war yearthe total was 118,895 tons, but in theyear 1916-17 the imports totalled 144,383tons, which is the record. There was adecrease of 7845 tons from Canada,which was only partly set off by anincrease of 3746 tons from New Zealand.The total from Empire sources,amountedto only 121,722 tons, or 6951 tons lessthan in theprevious year. Supplies fromforeign sources were heavier all round,the increase amounting to 3665 tonsfrom Holland, 2138 tons from Italy, 423tons from Switzerland, 734 tons from theUnited States, and 258 tons from othercountries.i The imports for each of the past tenyears, according to W.

ESSENTIALS IN WOOL.EVEN QUALITY AND

CHARACTER.

ADVICE BY GOVERNMENTINSTRUCTOR,

Even quality and character are theessentials in wool which, the Governmentwool instructor, Mr. J. G. Cook, im-presses upon flock-owners in hisaddresses throughout the Dominion.This is the busy season with pastoral-ists, and the Government instructor hasa very big programme in hand. Mr.Cook has just returned to Wellingtonfrom the Canterbury district, where hegave demonstrations in skirting andclassing. These demonstrations had allbeen arranged in advance, and at eachcentre the sheep farmers had shorn afew fleeces for demonstration purposes.The gatherings were well attended,upwards of 60 farmers being present atAmberley.

Mr. Cook found the Canterbury sheepfarmers very enthusiastic in their desireto learn everything which wouldimprove the value of their clips. Thewool which had just come off the shearshad opened up in good condition.

Questioned as to the prospects for thecoming season, he declared that the out-look was distinctly promising. It wasa pity, he said, that the Ruhr troublehad not been settled, as this unques-tionably had an effect upon the com-modities New Zealand produced, andaffected other products besides wool.There was, however, an optimisticfeeling abroad, and this wouldundoubtedly encourage buyers to

imraio more boldly at the forthcomingsales.

" I have told the farmers repeatedly,"said Mr. Cook, "that if they will onlyskirt and class their wool it will bringa much better market price, and I hopethe day is at hand when not a singlebale of wool will be put up for salebefore it has been skirted and classed."

The Government instructor docs notconfine his advice to wool alone, buttells the farmers how to breed in orderthat the wool of regular quality, show-ing character, may be grown. He is afirm believer in setting out right withgood quality ewes and approved rams.Farmers should never grudge a littleextra in order to secure good rams.Breeding should be watched carefully,he declares, and if the progeny of acertainram is notproducing thequalityof wool desired, the offspring shouldbe fattened and sent to the freezingworks. This would prevent otherfarmers from obtaining sheep whichshould not be allowed in New Zealandflocks. If farmers started off right, itwould save them a lot of time andexpense in culling their flocks. Flocksshould be carefully overhauled, and allsheep whose wool was not showing suffi-cient character should be speciallybranded for the fattening paddocks. Ifall farmers followed this practice, anddetermined to obtain the very bestrams they could afford to purchase, thestandard of New Zealand wool wouldspeedily advance.

Mr. Cook is to visit Poverty Bay,where he will give a number of demon-strations to sheep farmers, and on hisreturn he will pay a visit to the Marl-borough district.

THE MARRIAGE TANGLE.By WINIFRED CARTER.

OHAPTEK XVH. J,HE NIGHT OF THE MASQUE. ;

Bettr. as a Bacchante crowned wit* jpurple* blooming grapes, knew sho was jt.ho prettiest thing in the room; that wasuntil she saw Marjory. Marjory in a Ilittle straight Kate Greenaway frockj■tvith a little bonnetround her soft charm-ing face, took the wind out of Betty'ssails, so Betty felt. Instantly she real-ised thather own dress was just a littletooscanty, her whole appearance a littletoo much like a chorus girl Bt someJxindon theatre. Marjory, all dignityand grave charm, was a cameo of exqui-site girlhood.

As 6ho came into the room, tihe man■who had just been dancing with Betty,started. t

Lawrence Beckett had v-ome and had jltcen more attracted than ever to Betty.|But now he saw someone who appealed jto him in quite a different way. There•was something familiar about Marjory.

"Why." he said. "That girl there, isexactly like one of Uu> paintings atBeckett Mount. It's of my great grandmother, she's in a Kate Greenawayfrock too with a bonnet just like that."

"I shouldn't bo surprised." said Bettysharply. "If that isn't the identicalfrock." That's Marjory Beckett, yourcousin."

"Indet-vi." ssid Lawrence, frowning."Plea**, Miss Reynolds, introduce mc."

The next moment Marjory was lookingin.o tie oyes of the man her grandfatherhad sivra'ys ss;d wss a wastrel and asr>eacthrift." Sic N>«<r\l withquiet dignity. Some ofthe ts'es she had heard about him didnot sttrsot her.

Ju*: then Roger came to her. Roger ina cavalier drt-ss, handsome, manly andtall. A little throb of pride and affec-tion tsae to Marjory's heart.

"Mine first, Marjory!" he said master-fully, and stepping back LawrenceBeckett watched them go.

They were a fine couple. Their stepsmatched perfectly. Marjory was a borndancer and danced without the jerk thatit seemed Betty could not erase fromher own dancing. And Betty watchedthem with jealous sullen eyes.

Lawrence Beckett turned to her."Are those two engaged!" he said

curiously."No, indeed," said Betty. "Why, Mar-

jory's married!""Married! Yes, of course, you eaid so

before. Ididn't take it in for a moment.She's a very good-looking girl, isn't she!I suppose she thought she was going toinherit?"

"Yes," said Betty, and she gave theman a queer look that he rememberedin the days to come.

"Well, aren't you going to ask for adance?" she added petulantly.

He quickly offered his arm.And Marjory, thrilling, her heart

throbbing with a wild delirious sense oflove^—utterly swept off her feet, heardRoger speak imploringly—impassionedly.• "Marjory,Marjory!" he said. "Beloved,and.adored. I love -you so, Marjory, Ilove you so! Listen 1 I can't endurethie. I want you to come to mc. Youlove me—and I'm like a man demented.Let's run 'away together and forgeieverything! Now at once Marjory, whatdo you Bay ?"

CHAPTER XVm.A FIGHT WITH LOVE.

For one intoxicating moment Marjorywas swept off her feet, the temptationwhkji she had feared but which ehethought she was strong enough to re-sist; came now in such'a way that shewas momentarily unable to battle withit. Roger's arms held her close to hisbreast, she felt she could not resist thesweetness of this" love he wanted toshower on her. For months she hadached and longed for this.

"Let's go away together," he whis-pered softly. "I can't ■ endure thisseparation. I've been like a man insaneever since that last time when you saidyou were gqing to try and put mc fromyour heart. There's no one on earthbut-you! Oh, Marjory, havepity on mc;let's go away together, sweetheart."

At the far end of the ballroom was aconservatory leading to a balcony. Herehe drew her, and for a moment the ex-quisite girl in the Greenaway frock andthe handsome man in the cavalier cos-tume stood together. Then Marjorylifted up her face. It was twisted.• "Oh, don't ask mc, Roger, don't askmc," ehe muttered wildly.

"But I must, sweetheart," he saidcaressingly, and oh, when Roger wantedto,attract how easy he found it to moveher !to his mood. She was a captive birdfluttering 'neath his gaze. "I don't careabout.money or anything. It's just youI want, Marjory. We can slip out nowand go away. What do you say?"

Marjory braced horself; suddenly, inthe place of Roger's tense dark eyesthere came another pair of eyes, pleadingeyes, boyish eyes, yet they were trueeyes, too, Barry's eyes. She knew shecould not do this thing, though her im-pulse had been to give everything upand go with the man ehe loved, go tohappiness—yet ehe could not.."I can't, you ask too much of mc,

you ask too much of mc. I can't do it,Roger." ,

" Then you don't love mc and neverhave done, Marjory," said Roger, and heflung her to one side, and" strode up anddown the conservatory, his handsclenched- "Onceupon a time you wouldhave given - the world to mc, but nowyou won!t eveu give up this man whomyou don't love at all."

" Yes. I know," she said Wistfully,"but, Roger, when we found in a dayor two we'd no money, what wouldhappen?"

,rTt's always money with you," saidRoger, .unjustly, but he winced at thethought of it. He'dbeen toorash.

" You break my heart," moaned Mar-jory'piteouely. "I didn't want.to cometo-night; I was half afraid of dancingwith you, but I didn't think you'd actlike this."

Roger glared at her, and then lie puthie arms behind her and laughedharshly.

"No, thank " you," he said. "I'mthrough. I'm a fool to care. Why havea single' heart-throb for a girl who'hasn't pluck enough to go away forlove's sake?"

He turned arid left the room, andMarjory stared after him, her eyesaching with tears she dare not shed—her heart a mangled thing beating pain-fully in her breast.

Someone poked a head in. It wasBetty, flushed, eager,almost too noisy.

"Lawrence wants a dance. Oh, comeon Marjory," and stifling her desire forloneliness, Marjorywent.• *' • *When -Marjory had gone to the danceBarry had had a tremendous longing tosee. the.girl he loved, dancing. He hadseen her in her quiet little dress asa secretary, He had seen her in herwhite, wedding frock, but he had neverseen_her all dressed up in gala robes,looking adorably young and enchanting.Urn had rung, and Sister Martin had

come; she had listened to him, listenedto his imploring request that the. bathchair in which he was going out forhis first ride to-morrow should be usedto-night.

"It's the loveliest night, it couldn'thurt mc. Oh, I'd love it ro." Ilis facewas eager,appealing. Sister Martin didnot know quite what to do, yet showas convinced that the outing wouldn'thurt him. '"I don"t want to speak toanyone. I just want to watchMarjory."

"I shall have to come, too" said1Sister Martiu indulgently. .

"Yes, you could come too, and youcould leave mc in some plncc where noone would know 1 was there. Surelyyou could manage it couldn't you!"

And because she had grown very fondof Barry Broughton and because shenever had liked Roger Morlcy, SisterMartin agreed.

So she helped Barry into the bathchair, delighted to find him strongerthan she had thought. She, it was whowheeled him down, who found the placein the conservatory, and then left hima little while, while she went off at hisrequest to enjoy a chat with friends.And so, when Roger Morley had sweptMarjory into the conservatory neitherhad known that that momentof terriblestress had been witnessed by the' lastrr.au on earth they would have wantedto rave seen it, Barry himself!

He sat cowering back as Marjory wentoff. Through the glass of the conserva-tory he could get a glimpse of the ball-room, and every now and again he couldsee the girl he loved so well, dancing.His heart ached. He loved her so. Yes,he knew it to his cost. He adored her.He who would never be anything elsebut a crocV nac, tied up all that youtr>and sweetness, he had come in between;but for him she could be married .tothat handsome Roger, or at least en-gaged.

"So he does love her. he's willing togive up money and everything just tohave Marjory. I've done wrong. I'vebroken her heart too, and I wanted to begood to her. Oh, I wanted to be goodto her!"

Moodily he stared through the ball-room noticing the tall dark-browedyoung man who came across now andv/iis danring with Marjory. He wonderedwho he was, presently Sisti-r Martincime to see how he was getting on.

"Quite well, thank you," he said,swallowing the pain that made him sounhappy. "Marjory looks beautiful,doesn't ehe?"

Sister Martin nodded.'"'She's by far the sweetest girl I ever

saw. She looks an absolute picture inthat frock; she stands out against allthe others as though she were a bit ofdelicate china. And as for that Betty'Reynolds, she looks what she is, a com-mon little thing. Marjory, she's perfec-tion."

Bany's face brightened."Who's the man she's dancing with?"

he said eagerly."Lawrence Beckett, the cousin who in-herited instead of her. He'e a bad lot

according to the, tales about him, but ofcourse Marjory had to dance with him.ilt wouldn't have done for her not to.It doesn't look to mc as though she's en-joying it very much. I wonder what'swrong."

At that moment Marjory was passingthe topof theroom again. Her face wasquite easy to see. There was a cold lookof disdain on it, a hauteur quite foreignto her ordinary natural manner. Law-rence Beckett was very interested in her,she was so winsome, so charming, buthe had just affronted her greatly bysaying:

"Queer thing the old man softeningtowards mc. He wanted a man to in-herit, I suppose. Women are not muchgood with a big estate."

And she had been hurt, for though hergrandfather had been domineering andbrowbeating, yet between those twothere had been a .very real affection,hidden deep though it was. And it hadwounded Marjory that her grandfatherhad never remembered her in his will.

"If you don't mind I'm a little tiredand I'd like to sit out. Please don't stopdancing. Look. Betty is without apartner, she'd love to dance with youI'm sure."

They crossed to Betty."I'm tired," said Marjory. "I've really

had a pretty hard week; do dance.withMr. Beckett, Betty. He's travelled agreat deal,he'll be able to tell you heapsabout Italy. Betty's always wanted togo to Italy, but her parents don't likecrossing the sea."

She left them together and sat down.Sister Martin camo to her.

"Hullo, Marjory, you do look a darl-ing! I say, I've got a surprise foryou."

She drew Marjory through the door,and the next moment Marjory saw thatBarry was there. Her face lit up, shequite forgot what had happened a shortwhile ago.

"Why, Barry!" she said. "How wonder-ful! what a delicious surprise. NowI'm quite happy. I can just settle downand enjoy myself. How venturesome ofyou, but how fine."

"Hβ will be quite all right," saidSister Martin. "He's enjoying himselfever so much, aren't you, Barry?"

"Yes, I've been watching you," saidBarry. And Marjory started, therewas something different about Barry.It was as though lie were wounded aboutsomething, and suddenly she remem-bered what had happened a few mo-ments ago. Had Barry heard! Had lieseen her face when, forgetful of honourand otf her word, she had for a momentlistened to Roger's scheming, had beenalmost persuaded. Only for one moment!Yet if he had seen, and had been hurt,how she would for ever loathe herself.

ROY GOVERNOR.

TWELVE YEARS' GAOL. 11BUSHRANGERS CAREER.

(From Onr Own Correspondent.)

SYDNEY, October 19.Boy Governor, the aboriginal vrho

terrified the people in eeveral country-towns of New South Wales in June last, jand was eventually captured by the 'police after an adventurous career, tookIhis trial at the DubtJO Circuit Courtthis week.

There was widespread interest in thecase and an eager crowd, includingseveral coloured people, filled the publicgalleries. The exhibits included a rifle,a cartridge belt containing live car-tridges, a black mask, and several calicopoEters on which Governor had left hisfamous message for his pursuers.

The Crown brought three countsagainst Governor. First that hedid feloniously wound Sergeant Youngwith intent to murder; second, that hemaliciously wounded Sergeant Youngwith intent to do him grievous bodilyharm; and thirdly, that he did mali-ciously shoot at Sergeant I'oung withintent to avoid arrest. Governor pleadednot guilty on all accounts.

Mr. Coyle (Crown Prosecutor)referred to Governor aa a man of verystriking intelligence for an almost full-blooded aboriginal. In fact, said Mr.Coyle, his speech, and handwritingclearly proved that he had shown theresults of his education to be as good asthat of any ordinary white man.

One of the posters left by Governorwas produced by Mr. Coyle to the jury.The message on it, for the police, statedthat Governor was prepared to stop aballet. Anyone wanting a fight couldget it if they tried to capture him. Onanother poster he warned the police that

,he wonld never surrender, but -would die"like a Governor."

Evidence of Sergeant Young's in-juries was given by Dr. Lester, ofMudgee. The bullet, he said, penetratedtie right elbow joint, passed throughthe upper part of the right hip, andlodged in the inner side of the pelvis.The elbow joint would always be stiff.Sergeant Young, the doctor added, wasvery lucky he did not lose hie arm. Itwould not be Uise to remove the bulletfrom Young's hip.

Sergeants Young and Payne repeatedevidence given by them at the lowercourt, and were subjected to a severecross-esamination as to what actuallytook place when Governor was shot.Both policemen denied that it was pos-sible for anyone but Governor to haveshot Sergeant Young. Both admittedthat he could have shot the police onprevious occasions.

In a statement from the dock, beforethe jury retired to consider i£e verdict,Governor said:—

"I wa3 out of my mind at the time ofthe shooting. I was not only prosecuted,but persecuted. There was no one tohold out a helping hand. Just imagineml thie civilised country—a countrywhich used to belong to my own people—I was chased by a pack of wolves, whocame after mc as if hunting wildanimals- The police hunted mc,threateningto kill. Such was the treat-ment served out to a poor aboriginal ina civilisedcountry."

Sentence of twelve years' gaol waspaesed on Governor on two counts ofhaving »hot at Sergeant Young with-intent tocause grievous bodily harm,andirith having Bno* a* intent toavoid arrest.

On the first charge of having shot atthe sergeant with intent to murder, he-was found not guilty.

LIQUOR REFORM.

CORPORATE CONTROL .FAVOURED.

ANGLICAN SYNOD DISCUSSION.The motion of Canon James, dealing

with the liquor question, which wasshelved on the previous day by theAnglican Synod, was restored to thebusiness paper yesterday afternoon byspecial resolution and debated.

The motion was to remind the PrimeMinister of his promise to introducedrastic reforms of the licensing laws,to approve of the corporate controlscheme formulated by the CorporateControl Board, to take steps to organisepublic opinion, and to make known thepolicy of the Synod on the licensingquestion to the Archbishop and thebishops of the provinces.

Canon Williams reminded Synod thatprior to the prohibition referendum thePrime Minister stated that if the pro-posal was not carried there would bedrastic amendments in the way of liquorreform made by the Government. Mr.•ataesey had said it was no good "tinker-ing"- with the matter. However, theprolonging of the Parliamentary sessionand the hurried departure of Mr. Masseyto England had prevented effect beinggiven to the Prime Minister's promise.

Archdeacon MacMurray disapprovedof the corporate control scheme, whichhe said would not restrict the power oftie drink traffic Encouragement givento half-measures would defeat the pro-hibition issue and more firmly establishthe drink'trade.

The Rev. J. Gordon Bell said that theonly objection against the proposals ofthe Corporate Control Board was thatthey were not sufficiently drastic. Hewas opposed to cumbersome and inde-finite schemes, but favoured the intro-duction of a radical and comprehensivemeasure of corporate control to com-pletely reform the trade. The chiefdefect of the present system was thedifficulty of dealing with pub-licans who broke the law, and the pro-posed system would remedy that. Hestrenuously denied that there was anyfoundation for the suggestion that thecorporate control advocates were influ-enced by the "brewery merger." It wasabsolutely untrue. (Applause.)

While on his n-ny to Horsham PoliceCourt John Barber, of Tonbridge, wastilled by a train at a level crossing. Asummons Id connection with a separationorder for which his wife was applying wasfound in his pocket, and established hisidentity.
