"Tn view of tie number of certificatedteachers for whom permanent employ-ment has not been available the Boari.has been inncii exercised over the ques-tion of the emploTmeT.t of married

1 women tearhers ■wnose husbands are iaI a posiiion to adequately support them."i Thus reads The annual report of theAuckland Education, Board, presented

Ito to-day's meeting of members. I:,was further pointed out that the board

j considered that the employment o:: married women teachers should not be

unconditional, but that the board»houid have dir-cretion in the matter.The interests of all married womenteachers who find themselves in difficultrinfumstances Tsronld not, be in any>ense prejudiced by the granting mboards of discretionary power.

The board obtained the opinion of<">tl.er boards throughout Xew Zealandn;x>n the matter and found that thezreat majority of them were in fall.irrord with their view.

In referring, to the peneral develop-ment of educational facilities in theAuckland district, the report adds thattiic number of schools open at the end

■f 1926 was 7-H an increa-e of 124luring the last ten years. The number"f pupils enrolled was 653.52, an in-rrease of over the number enrolleda: the end of the previous rear. Seven-teen new schools were built during theyear and fifteen were enlarjeo. In

I 'Tder to meet cases of emergenov sevenj buildings were also erected. The grant-

. made by the Department would enablea fairly vigorous policy with refer«ni*eto the provision of accommodation tor be adopted. The requirements, now-

J ever, would not yet b<?en even approxi-mately overtaken, and congestion e.\-i«t<Ki in -i-me institutions. The board

FINANCE, COMMERCE AND MARKETS.BEET SUGAR.

PROSPECTS FOR INDUSTRY,

CLUTHA FARMERS HOPEFUL.BUT MINISTER CAUTIOUS.

(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.")

DUNEDIN, this day.The Clutha Farmers' Union waited on

the Minister of Agriculture on the ques-tion of sugar beet *owing.The deputation considered that much

oi the land in South Otago would be par-ticularly suitable for the purpose of jrrow-ing suar beet of a high sugar content,asserting that much of the Chitha grownbeet had 15 per cent more sugar thanthe minimum required.

The Minister was sympathetic, butpointed out there wpre many difficulties inthe way. particularly as l'ar as subsidiesand tariffs were concerned. He stated,however, that the Department was aliveto the position, and investigations werebeing carried out. If anything w-fre doneit would have to be in the vfcy of aprotective duty, as the Government couldnot afford to pay big subsidies. He pointedout that they would have to expect greatopposition from the Colonial Sugar Co.,which was supplying New Zealand withcheaper sugar than any otlier concernin the world. He also emphasised thatlabour costs in New Zealand would bevery much higher than in Fiji.

FARMERS' PROBLEMS.INQUIRY BOARD WANTED.

FURTHER REPRESENTATIONSPLANNED.

The mnn in the country was watchingto see what was being done by the cityman, through tho operations of theleague, in the direction of meeting thedifficulties under which the farmerlaboured, said Mr. E. Earle Vaile, in the

i course of a discussion at a meeting ofthe New Zealand Land Settlement andDevelopment League executive. So soonas the city interests gave evidence thatthey were in earnest they would beentitled to the sympathy "and help ofthe. farmer.

Mr. .1. H. Hay ward (Whangarei)considered that it was useless to send

jan organiser to the country districtsI until thi> city man had given evidenceof the sincerity of his desire to help.The farmer was asking "Why this sud-den move to assist?"

Mr. Ceo. Finn suggested that thereI was nothing sudden about the city man's

, interest; it had been going on for yearsI and would continue.

J Mr. E. Harding (Dargaville) consider-Jed that all efforts should concentratedlon securing membership and adequatej funds to carry on the ordinary functionsof the league.. Mr. Vaile referftd to theinterview with the Prime Minister, whichhe said did not seem to have achievedmuch. The Arbitration Court shouldnot be abolished, but a right basis foicomputation for fixing wages should bearrived at.

Mr. \V. W. Ma«sey considered that thedeputation might consider it had suc-ceeded if the Government made a definiteannouncement that a board of inquirywas to be set up.

It was resolved that the Minister ofLands be approached immediately uponhis return to New Zealand, and askedto give immediate effect to the requestfor an inquiry.

THE EGYPTIAN CRISIS.

For the cause that lacks assistance,For the wrong that needs resistance,For the future in the distance,And the good that ve can do.

The present crisis in Egypt arises from abitter conflict that has been in progress eversince the agreement of 1922 came into fortv.Though by that agreement the Egyptiansreceived practically full autonomy for internalpurposes, Britain reserved for herself controlof Egypt's foreign relations, and retained thoright to organise the Egyptian army, to defendthe Sudan, and to protect her interests in theSuez Canal. These reservations have alwaysbeen denounced by the Nationalists as a per-manent sign of servitude, and, though it is easyto prove to any disinterested person that theybenefit Egypt equally with Britain, ZaghlulPasha and his party have declared that theywill not rest till these limitations to completepolitical independence are swept away.

Under the 1022 agreement the Egyptianarmy consists of about 10,000 men. It isorganised and controlled by a British Sirdar,or Commander-in-Chief, and many of thesuperior officers are British. There are alsoabout 11,000 British troops in Egypt, theirpresence being necessary to protect the pro-perty and lives of British subjects and todefend British interests generally against theviolent and criminal tactics frequentlyemployed by the extremists of the Wafd party.It is now proposed by the Nationalists thatthe army should be exclusively Egyptian, andthat the Minister of War alone should beresponsible for it; and it is further recom-mended that the large payment annually votedby the Egyptian Parliament for the adminis-tration of the Sudan shall be cancelled. Thislast proposal, of course, indicates that, in theopinion of Pasha and his friends, theSudan is governed and kept in order in theinterests of Britain, and not of Egypt. Butthe main point in the proposed reforms is theemancipation of the Egyptian military estab-lishment from British control, and on thisquestion Britain is not likely to give way.

No doubt attempts will be made byBritain's enemies, domestic and foreign, torepresent the dispatch of British warships toAlexandria as a high-handed attempt to coerceEgypt into submission, and the Note handedto the Egyptian Prime Minister by the BritishHigh Commissioner is seemingly regarded bythe Nationalists as an ultimatum. But itshould be obvions that Britain must havesufficient force at her disposal in this quarterto guard against any repetition of the mur-derous attacks on foreign residents which havemarked past political disturbances in Egypt.There is as much reason to safeguard Britishsubjects at Alexandria and Cairo as atShanghai. As to the British Note, it seemsthat Lord Lloyd has been authorised simplyto point out that the control of the Egyptianarmy by a British Sirdar is an arrangementthat has no bearing on the political indepen-dence and autonomy secured for Egypt fiveyears ago. The position is certainly delicate,and from the standpoint of foreign residentsprecarious; but if the British Governmentholds firmly to the Declaration of 1922, nodoubt the crisis will be safely tided over.

MUSSOLINI AND PEACE.

Mussolini's warning to (he Italian Parlia-ment, that "the present Chamber and themethod of its election might consider them-selves abolished," is a matter for the Italiansthemselves to consider, and -when theyare forced to the point of making a decisionfor themselves on this question the results oftheir deliberations may not be altogetherfavourable to Mussolini. But his attacks uponforeign nations and his vague warnings offuture wars are in quite a different category.What can be the effect of public proclama-tions concerning the political decadence ofGermany and the moral corruption anddegeneration of France but to intensify racialbitterness and to exasperate political dissen-sions which, without such stimulation, mightbe expected to die a natural death? Andwhat is the purpose behind the Duce's constantprediction of coming wars, his openlyexpressed contempt for such "platonic mani-festations" as the Treaty of Locarno, and hisdeclared intention of placing 5,000,000 men"in a state of full war efficiency" to meet theeventualities of the future? The Kaiser athis worst never used language more directlyprovocative or better calculated to producethat "breach of the peace" which the worldhas been striving so strenuously to preventever since the Great War ended.

THE FIRST WIN.

The first victory of the New Zealandcricket team in England is pleasant news. Theteam has done better than was expected, andwhen Essex and Middlesex defeated it NewZealanders consoled themselves with thethought that victory over first-class countieshad scarcely been hoped for. There is a limit,however, to that consolation; a scries ofdraws and defeats threatened to become dis-appointing and monotonous. Sussex is perhapssorry now that it fielded so weak a sideagainst the visitors, and the fact that Gilligan,the fast bowler of the side, did not bowl hasto be explained. Certainly it would have beenmore satisfactory had we defeated the fullstrength of Sussex, but these county sideshave strong reserves, and the victory is meri-torious. Coming after the Middlesex match,when the full strength of that formidablecounty had to fight hard to win (and mighthave lost had catches been held), this victoryover Sussex is impressive proof rf the calibreof the New Zealand side. Our players continueto make plenty of runs, and the most gratify-ing feature of their play is the repeateddemonstration that they are not weighed downby the greatness of the occasion. New Zealandcricket has shed the- inferiority complex thatfor so many years handicapped it in meetingteams of other counters,

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Coming and Going.Arrivals at Auckland from overseas ports

during the month of May totalled 1753. as com-pared with 2319 for the. same month last year, adecrease of 506. Departures numbered 1393, asagainst 1126 in May, 1926.

More or Less Harmless."We often read of 'grey nurse' sharks being

caught right in our own harbour, but the fish isincorrectlv named," declared a speaker at ameeting of the Auckland Institute last evening.The real grey nurse is one of the most deadlyof all sharks, and was certainly not the samelish as was frequently landed at Auckland.Sharks caught locally had proved to be of amore or less harmless variety.Unexcelled.

"The mountain scenery of New Zealand isnot excelled by any countrv in the world," saidProfessor It. M. Algic in an address on "Moun-taineering," which was given at the RemueraPublic Library last evening. He added that,although the Dominion had more charms to thesquare mile than any other country. New Zea-landers generally were not appreciative of thefact. Professor Algie said that a point of inter-est was that all the highest peaks of theSouthern Alps had been conquered in the firstplace by New Zealanders.Safety First.

"Even though these advertisements are onGovernment land, human life is more valuable,than revenue,"' declared Mr. G. Buckley at lastnight's meeting of the Mount Albert ' BoroughCouncil, when reu-renee was made to an advertis-ing hoarding that obstructed the view near theschool in the suburb. The Railway AdvertisingDepartment stated that it was willing to shiftthe hoarding to a position a little distance fromthe present site, where it would face at rightangles to the school.Puhinui Improvements.

Very few of the original level crossings arenow in use on the south suburban railway line.At numerous points overhead traffic, bridges havebeen built, though in instances it has been foundnecessary to make embankments at theapproaches to give sufficient elevation. At Puhi-nui. about a mile south of the Papatoetoe sta-tion, advantage was taken of, a cutting close by.The Railway Department has built a bridge tospan two tracks, and next week the level crossingon Puhinui Road will be closed. The bridgemarks the completion of the Puhinui station yardworks. It lias a roadway 20ft wide, and a (sftfootpath.

Industry Not Appreciated.Although tolerant of radio and the gramo-

phone—even the cheap variety—some of theMount Albert residents object strongly to themusical buzz of a circular saw while endeavouringto s|>end a quiet evening at home, and the localBorough Council has been appealed to. It is saidthe* since the advent of electricity a number ofpeople, keen on earning additional cash, havefitted up workshops in the basements of houses,with the result that the noise annoys less indus-triously inclined neighbours, prevents childrenfrom gettiug their proper rest, and detrimentallyaffects the sale of property. At least, these aresome of the allegations made, and it has beenleft to the suburban council to decide what stepsshall be taken to regulate secondary industries intheir suburb.

Gatherers of Garbage.A complaint against the fact that some of

the children of the Auckland primary schoolswere compelled to pick up rubbish in "the play-grounds, including food that is thrown awayduring the lunch hour, has been Iodo

jd by "asuburban resident, the anxious mother of "twochildren. She considers that the unwholesomeduty is detrimental to the children's health, anddeclares that she is not alone in her protest con-cerning the matter. She referred to the dangerthat existed of disease spreading as the resultof the children having to collect the food, some-times thrown away by children suffering frominfectious diseases. Diphtheria was prevalent inher district at the present time, and she con-tends that this was not the way to assist tostamp it out.

Half Mine—Half Tours.Ratepayers are often puzzled as to

what methods are used to determine the boundaryof local bodies' districts. On the Mount Albert-Onchunga Koad the boundary that separatesMount Albert Borough from "the Mount Roskillroad district is a lino along the middle of theroad for a distance of 68 chains. The result isthat the Mount Albert Borough Council controls144 chains of the road on the north side, andis putting down a concrete surface for the wholeof that lenpth. On the southern side, however,it controls only 70 chains, and the half-width fora distance of i>B chains on that side will not beconcreted until the Mount Roskill Road Boarddecides to undertake the work. A strip of ISftftin between the two concrete strips for 7»i chainsfrom the New North Road is being left for adouble tram track in case the City Council decidesin the future to extend along this route.

Graded Roads at Papatoetoe.One result of the variety of roading surfaces

that are now appearing in' the districts aroundAuckland is that the local authorities are con-sidering the classification of their roads in anumber of grades. At the meeting of the Papa-toetoe Town Board last night threo differentgrades were adopted. The (neat South Road,with its new concrete surface, which has beenin use for six months, is the only road in Papa-toetoe to be classified as first grade. A numberof bitumen arterial roads. Station Road andKolmar Road, are classified as second grade, alsoC'arruth Road, with a macadam surface, the foun-dations of which were laid many years ago by theold Papatoetoe Road Board. All the other roadsand streets in Papatoetoe, including Wvllie Roadand Wallace Road, are third class. The board'sclassification is subject to the approval of theMinister of Public Works. The principal quali-fication is that the load on the second and thirdgrade roads, including the weight of the vehicle,must not exceed six tons.

"Presbyterian—l Think."Three clergymen and the captain of the

Salvation Army at Onehunga are taking a reli-gious census of the people. The idea is to pre-vent overlapping in their pastoral work, and totry and rescue lapsed members of their severaldenominations. The Anglican and Presbyterianministers go together, and are covering all One-hunga on the east side of Queen Street, whilethe west side has been allocated to the othertwo shepherds. The two first-named called at ahouse this week, and, in answer to their knock,the door was opened by a young woman, who wasasked what her religion was? ''Presbyterian, Ithink." she replied, "but I'm not sure." "Is yourmother in?' , "Yes." "Well, will you ask her?""All right." The young lady then, without tell-ing her mother of the two visitors at the door,went to the end of the passage and called out:"Mother, we're Presbyterians, aren't we?"Mother: "Presbyterians? No, you fool, we'reChurch of England, of course!"

Some Shark Stories.Goats and ostriches have Ikmmi known to

swallow all manner of queer things, but if avarn that was told in New Zealand by an Eng-lish sportsman is belie"ed in the Old Countryneither the goats nor the ostriches will be ableto hold a candle to New Zealand sharks. Duringhis lecture to members of the Auckland Institutelast evening, Mr. L. T. Griffin mentioned that,when cut open, a large tiger shark bad beenfound to contain two large crayfish, a small bluepenguin, and a whole fully-grown collie dog. Hehad seen the.shark opened, and could vouch forthe truth of the story. But he had also heardthe story retold by an English angler who hadbeen visiting Russell at the time the catch wasmade, and for the retelling of the yarn he couldnot be responsible. According to the enthusi-astic visitor, this huge shark had swallowed two"crays."' a penguin, a whole collie dog. a police-man's helmet, and a sewing machine!

"Sport" at Glen Eden.It is said that a beautiful day inspires an

Englishman to go out and kill something. FromGlen Eden comes a complaint that the pea-ritlcseason is in full swim?, and that the district hasbecome the favourite haunt of the sporting youth.It is said that Sunday js the favourite day forshooting. The enthusiast, who blazes away ateverything with wings on the road or in adjacentpaddocks, while adding zest, to life in the district,has become quite a menace to the rural com-munity.A Sturdy Schooner.

Unloading coal at the King's wharf lliismorning was the auxiliary schooner Huia. oneof the smartest and moststoutly-built craft ofher kind in this part of the world. Despite herthirty-three year?, the Huia looks almost assmart as the day she first took the water atAratapu, for her owners have spared nothing tokeep her in the beat possible condition. Underthe Xobel Explosives Company's liag, she ha*made u number of smart trips between Australiaand New Zealand, her best performance withinrecent months being a pa»:-age of >ix days -even.hours between Grafton, New South Wale-, andAuckland.Famous Hounds and Huntsmen.

To-day there is no purer blood i;i man norbeast than that which courses through the aristo-cratic veins ot the famous Brockleshy foxhounds.Early written records of tiiis celebrated Lincoln-shire pack go back (says a writer of the Flocksand Herds page, in the .Tiuio issue, of "The NewZealand Farmer") to the first months of 1713.Every hound on the benches of the BrocklesbyKennels can be traced through the bound-bookwithout a break since 174f>. The result of theselection and breeding of the vigorous, well-balanced bound through more than two centuriesis that the Broeklesby foxhound blood is foundin every pack of foxhounds throughout theworld. It is even now of the Brocklesby descentthat the sire and dam are sought. There is notsuch another record on earth. There is anotherBrocklesby record that can l>e given. It is thatof the Brocklesby huntsmen. There have beenbut thirteen in a period of two hundred andthirty years. The Brocklesby horn was carriedby tiie Smith family from father to son for 150years without a break.Confusing Numbers.

Auckland is badly appointed in respect tosign-posts indicating the names of streets, andthis proves |H?rplexing to visitors. In some partsof Mount Albert the task of finding the housedesired, once the street in which it is situatedhas been located, is more than usually difficult.The reason for this is that, while some propertynumbers are duplicated, there are none on otherhouses. This fact was revealed at last night'smeeting of the Mount Albert Borough Council,when the, Registrar of Electors forwarded arequest that consecutive numbering be adoptedin the Mount Albert portion of the New NorthKoad. This system would remove much of theconfusion that at present existed in respect tolocating electors. It was re|>orted that the CityCouncil was prepared to re-number its Eden Ter-race section of the road, and it was thought thatthe registrar's request was a reasonable one.Much of the trouble had come about bv recentsubdivisions in the growing suburb. 'It wasdecided to renumber the North Koad, continuingthe numbering-consecutively from the city's EdenTerrace boundary.Fallacious Tipping By-laws.

A cablegram from Sydney states that a newby-law of the Railway Department provides thatno person shall give or offer a tip to any rail-way employee. The penalty for an offence is afine of £2. The regulations in New Zealand arealso designed to discourage railway employeesfrom accepting "gratuities." but it is a well-known fact that tips are frequently offered. Arailway official stated this morning that tippingwas difficult to, eliminate, and indeed it wenton all the time. Another jocularly observed thatto try and enforce the regulations rigidly wasas difficult as the attempt to enforce the anti-shouting Bill proved to be. Many people areunder the impression that the "red cap*,

,, whoare conspicuous on the main stations in NewZealand to-day, make their living out of "•tips"alone, but such is not the case. There is a defi-nite charge for the carriage of packages. Thefallacy of the anti-tipping regulation is veryapparent. There is nothing to prevent a breath-lees passenger from tossing over a shilling tothe official who has assisted him with his luggage,and in his baste to l>oard a train on the pointof pulling oiit forgetting, conveniently or other-wise, to collect the change.

THIS WEEKS GREAT DAY.

JUNE 2.—THE GORDON RIOTS

(By CHARLES CONWAY.)

One hundred and forty-seven years .tl'o, onJuno 2, 17«">, the disgraceful Gordon Riots brokeout in London.

At the time of the accession of William andMary in 1689, when the British nation was ina paroxysm ot nervous -excitement owing to thereligious zeal of James 11., several harsh lawswere passed which imposed many hardships anddisabilities on the Roman Catholics of Britain,and these laws remained in force until theCatholic Relief Act was pa.-sed in 1775. Thiswas a inosc just and reasonable measure, whichmet with the approval of all fairinindcd Protes-tants, and there would have been no trouble inconnection with it had it not been lor thefanaticism of Lord George Gordon.

He was the crack-brained son of the Dukeof Gordon, and was the bult and laughing-stockof the House of Commons owing to the violenceof his speeches whenever his bigotry was aroused.In 1779 he founded and became president of theLondon Protestant Alliance, the members ofwhich declared that the smallest concession wouldbe abused by the Catholics, and result in thedownfall of the Protestant religion. Gordon pre-pared a petition for the repeal of the Relief Act.and called tor 20,000 Protectants to ai.voiiip.iiiyhim to the House of Commons to present it.

He made a number of grandiose and inflam-matory speeches, and secured a considerable fol-lowing, which consisted mainly of the most reck-less and beggarly scoundrels in London ami it>vicinity, and on the morning of June 2. 17so. In-marched to Westminster at the head of a giganticcrowd, in which were to l>e found all the worstcriminals of the city. The movement had beenregarded with amused indifference by theauthorities, who did not think that anyonewould take Gordon's crazy project seriouslv," andthus no preparations had "been made to cope withtrouble.

For several hours the Houses of Parliamentwere besieged by the mob, which soon broke outinto open violence, and many prominent memberswere assaulted and half-murdered. Finally thecrowd was dispersed by a detachment of soldiers,but the spirit of mischief had been aroused, andat nightfall the mob reassembled and commencedan orgy of murder and destruction which lastedfor five davs.

The rioters pillaged and burned numerou*Catholic churches and mansions, set lire to New-gate gaol, broke open all the othVr prisons andreleased their inmates, and attacked the Bank ofEngland and many public buildings, while scoresof innocent citizens were murdered or maimed forlife. For four days the mob did practically whatit pleased owing to the weakness and indecisionof the Government, which whs fearful of pro-claiming martial law, and it was not until theKing himself gave orders that the soldiers wereto fire on the rioters that peace was restored.

More than five hundred of the rioters wereslain in London streets, and several of theirringleaders were afterwards tried and executed,but the principal offender escaped punishment, forwhen Gordon was placed on trial he was acquittedon the ground that he had no treasonable inten-tion. Hβ soon became involved in further dan-gerous schemes, which led to his being excom-municated by the Archbishop of Canterbury andplaced under lock and key in Newgate, where liedied after an imprisonment of nearly six years.Some time before his death h« renounced theChristian faith and professed to have become aconvert to Judaism,

IN THE PUBLIC MIND.RATING AT ST. HELIER'S.

A CRITIC OF "UNIMPROVED."

(To the Editor.)

The new members of the St. Heliers RoadBoard were put into office on the pledge thata poll should l>e taken as soon a> possiblere joining the city. They have received thepetition signed by 300 names to that effect,and the ratepayers will expect they willhonour their pledge and not allow themselvesto be made tools of tho>e who have suddenlydiscovered unimproved rating i> the only thin-*to save St. HelierV. Tho>e who are gostrongly advocating it make themselvesridiculous by thinking that what -wasnecessary for Sydney is suitable for a littlecountry suburb like St. Helicr'e. To beginwith, unimproved rating hit - the poor man.If he has a large area of land and a smallhouse ho will pay as much a> the up-to-dateand big bungalow owned by the rich andwell-to-do man who has been working foryears to acquire that position. If you lookat factories and busine-.se-, the small strugglingfactory would be taxed beyond endurance,while the well-established factory o.- businessthat has taken years to e>tabli-h would getoff lightly. As to their argument that underunimproved rating you will throw sections intotho market, certainly you will, and they willbe forfeited and large estates will go bank-rupt I At the present time sections are hardto get rid of at any price. You have highbank rates, very little Government money, atight money market, all these factors Villstand in the way of people building, no matterhow cheap the sections are. Unimproved rat-ing will, therefore, make very little differenceto the housing question, and people will stillrefuse to build in a district where transportis dear. The unimproved rating people pre.tend that land should be put to the best use,and people should have large sections, andwould bo able to under their system. Thegarden cities of the world show from eightto twelve houses to the acre, which is puttingland to the best possible use of town plannersand leading architects. They say also \reshall have no empty sections "filled with rub-bish and kerosene tins, which are a menace tohealth. That is very childi>h. You have by-laws; you can enforce them and see thatsections are cleared. If your by-laws areuseless, scrap them. I would advise advocatesof unimproved rating to read Henry G'eorge'i"Progress and Poverty."' from which thescheme originated. RUBY E. WATSON.

KILLING FOR SPORT.

Winifred E. Miiler lias returned to thecharge, and for her benefit I refer again tothe blue duck which she one* more affirmsnests in raupo swamps. The blue or moun-tain duck (Hymenolaiinus malaeorhyachus)does not use the ranpo or any other swampeither poetically or otherwise, but inhabits themountain streams. High up at the headwaters of several of our main rivers I haveseen the blue duck and have found their nest*in holes dug in the bank by the birds, whichuse their wings for this purpose. The breed-in" season is August to November. Sports*men do not molest them, and the game law*rigidly protect them. Miss Miller also men-tioned the fern bird (Bowdleria punctata) asnesting with the blue duck. This bird nesUin manuka scrub and bunches of sedge fromOctober to November. I would point out toMiss Miller that sportsmen shoot game fromMav to July, so her charge of shooting thebirds on nests is as absurd as the rest of hercharges. "Pot-hunters" and poachers maydo these miserable things, but sportsmen, who

! form the subject of Miss Miller's acrimoniousattack, would scorn such a suggestion. MissMiller should know that zoological collectionsare not stuffed, as may be affirmed by a visitto the Auckland Zoo. Museum collections aredifferent and are-contributed mostly by sports-men, for the benefit pi visitors and student*free of charge. The suggestion of a wax-works show of wild life for schools has thevirtue of originality, but I cannot imagine evena vegetarian becoming sentimental over astuffed effigy. I trust Miss Miller will infuture either take an active interest in gameprotection and learn a little about, it. or laps*into a decent silence upon the subject.

BATHS AT POINT CHEVALIER.

In reply to your correspondent. "NotWanted." 1 would like to say it is evident bedocs not '..now where the baths are to be built.It i« recognised by resident? that the bath*site in it« present state is a danger to children.Kmpty tins and bottles are thrown from therlifi close handy to the beach by picnic parties.I have witnessed a serious accident throughthis. Personally, I do not think the baths sit*will encroach on the beach, and this is a verrpoor argument why the baths should not bebuilt. "Not Wanted" says the beach at lowtide is just a> good as at full tide. I mustdiffer. In the first place, it is very uncom-fortable to walk out to the very shallow waterto bathe, also accidents happen to childrenwhen parents are not present, which would nothappen nt high tide. A little boy was nearlydrowned last year through the parents notbeing handy and the child bathing at low tide.The baths will be very convenient for thepublic in a growing district. As regards thecontractor having already picked his men tobuild the baths, will "Not Wanted" please con-sider this question? Supposing <he contractordid not have this contract, would he pay hispicked men a wage or would these supposedpicked men have to compete in the labourmarket ? CHARLES TAULL.

WHOLEMEAL BREAD.

May I point out an error in the heading omy letter in the "Star" of the 30th instant."A Champion of Brown Bread!"' lam byno means a champion of brown—or preen,purplo or any other colour. I certainly dochampion -wholemeal bread, and there is avast difference between them. The main inealof youngsters in the poorer quarter* of thisand other large towns often consists of aslice of whito bread (practically starch), thewheat perm and valuable mineral salts havingbeen extracted from it. They grow up lack-ing stamina, which creates a desire to avoidany hard mental or physical work and livein other easier ways if ]"k>sml.lc. and givee usa fairly l Krge percentage of our criminal class.Bakers find wholemeal a nuisance, more diffi-cult to bake and weigh, etc.. and so I canquite understand why objections arc raised.Kxpensivc machinery has' been erected formilling white flour, but millers, I am sure,ran and will supply the public demand forwho emeal. I must say some of the whole-meal bread on the market today i= anythingimt palatable. YVHOLE.MK \L

WARSHIPS SENT.CRISIS IN EGYPT.

Political Tension Caused ByExtremists.

BRITAIN'S DUTY

(British Official Wireless.)

RUGBY, May 31.The British battleships Barham andMalaya, whieh have been ordered to

proceed from Malta to Egypt, are ex-pected to reach Alexandria early on"\V ednesday.The battleship Royal Sovereign will

arrive at Port Said on the same day.The Barham flies the flag of Vice-

Admiral W. A. H. Kelly. No other war-ships are under orders for Egypt.

In view of the present political situa-tion in Egypt the dispatch of these threevessels was considered advisable as aprecautionary ,measure, as by the de-claration of 1922 Britain is responsiblefor the safety and protection of for-eigners in Egypt.

The political tension appears to bevery largely the artificial creation of theextremist members of the Wafd party,designed to strengthen their own posi-tion. This was clearly shown last weekwhen in the Egyptian Parliament theWafd deputies made a recent visit paidby the High Commissioner, Lord Lloyd,to Minia, the occasion for a concertedand obviously pre-arranged onslaught.

As a matter of fact Lord Lloyd wentto Minia at the invitation of 1500 loyalnotables. The occasion was marked byexpressions of mutual friendship andesteem.

In the Egyptian Parliament the ex-tremist deputies violently attacked thenotables for issuing invitations to theGovernment officials who were present.They also attacked Lord Lloyd for hieremarks.

Another uncertain element in thesituation is the recommendation of theEgyptian Parliamentary War Commit-tee regarding the Egyptian Army. Thedefence of Egypt from foreign aggres-sion is one of the points in the Britishdeclaration of 1922.

British officers have hitherto managedto prevent the discipline of the armyfrom being undermined by politicalunrest and the recommendation of thecommittee was undoubtedly designed tomake it the tool of a political party. Thiswould make it useless, for one of itsmain functions is to support the policein the maintenance of order.

The disturbance of that order, as wasshown as recently as 1921, directly in-volves a threat to foreign lives and in-terests.

The defence of Egypt is of as muchinterest to Britain as to Egypt. There-fore close collaboration between thearmed forces of both countries is obvi-ously of mutual advantage.

The British Government is perfectlyready to conclude an agreement toensure that co-operation.

NOTE PRESENTED.

ARMY REORGANISATION.

LONDON, May 31Lord Lloyd yesterday presented to

the Prime Minister of Egypt a Notefrom the British Government concerningthe reorganisation of the EgyptianArmy.

The communication was couched infriendly terms and no time-limit wasfixed.

TAKEN AS ULTIMATUM.

EXCITEMENT AT ZENITH.

LONDON, May 31The Cairo correspondent of the "Daily

Express" says the political excitementin Egypt reached its zenith when it wasannounced that a Note had T>een re-ceived from Lord Lloyd.

The Arabic newspapers say theyregard the Note as an ultimatum, sup-ported as it has been by the dispatchof battleships.

It is expected that Sarwat Pasha willresign the Prime Ministership, as theParliamentary debate on the matter islikely to make the position of the Gov-ernment most difficult.

His resignation would please theZaghlulist extremists.

If the Army Bill is carried it is ex-pected that the Royal assent will be re-fused, under Lord Lloyd's advice.

The members of the British colony atCairo feel that a popular outbreak ispossible at any moment unless the situa-tion is handled in a strong manner.

The "Daily News" says the ArmyCommittee of the Egyptian Parliamentrecommended the cancellation of theannual payment of £750,000 (Egyptian)toward the Sudan administration. .

Itfurther demanded that the army shouldbe exclusively Egyptian and that theMinister of War alone should be respon-sible for it.—(A. and N.Z. and Sydney"Sun.")

MOST FRIENDLY.

ULTIMATUM DENIED.

(Received 11.30 a.m.)LONDON, May 31

Authoritative; circles deny Britain'sNote to Egypt is an ultimatum, but onthe contrary is most friendly.

A message from Cairo suggests thathigh placed personages are buey explain-ing that the War Committee's recom-mendations do not necessarily reflect theCabinet's policy.

LONDON, May 31With their first victory within

reach the New Zealanders were ontoes, when the gaine againstSussex was resumed to-day. Theirbowling and fielding were very kee'n,and ideal team work was shown.

Merritt and Blunt were the out-standing bowlers.

Arthur Gilligan threatened to defervictory and slogged dashingly. Hβ hita sixer into a garden outside the ground,but Blunt with an innocent-lookinggoogly cut short his career.

The match was really won in the firstfew overs, when A. H. Gilligan andWensley were got cheaply. Blunt dis-posed of the tail-enders with a epell ofdeadly bowling. James' wicket-keepingwas greatly admired.

Bernau and Allcott looked likewipin out the defict, till Bernauspooned one to mid-off. Then James wasdismissed by a dazzling catch in the long-field.

The victory has delighted all cricketlovers, who admire the genuine sportingspirit of the visitors and their way ofplaying the game for the game's sake.

LEPER PATIENTS.

Reported 111-Treatment DeniedBy Minister.

NEW STATION NEEDED.

(Received 12.30 p.m.)

MELBOURNE, this day.Referring to complaints about the

leper station at Darwin the Minister forHome and Territories, Mr. Marr, said itwas quite untrue that lepers had beenleft uncared for and not fed andclothed.

He had been advised that the chiefmedical officer of the Health Depart-ment had visited Lazaret every week forthe inspection and treatment of lepers.During the time between the visits thetreatment was carried out tinder thesupervision of an intelligent half-casteinmate.

A weekly ration was supplied to theinmates and clothes and other articleswere supplied when requested..

The recent escape of some lepers wasnot due to maltreatment but to quarrel-ling and jealousy among the lepersthemselves.

Mr. Marr admitted that the site wasan unsuitable one for a leper stationand said the Government had beenendeavouring for some time to procure abetter one.

RENOWN FIRE.

CAPTAIN SULLIVAN'S REPORT.

SYDNEY, May 31Captain Sullivan, commander of the

Renown, has issued a statement regard-ing the outbreak of fire on the ship.

He states that the oil-fuel fire occur-red in one of the six boiler-rooms. Suchfires are provided against in all oil-firedships, but there is naturally someanxiety until steps have been taken toprevent them spreading.

In this case there was considerabledifficulty, as the fire occurred in theleast accessible part of jthe boiler-room.

But the ship's organisation was equalto the task. As an extra precautionthe ship was stopped to reduce thedraught of air.

Considerable damage was done to theelectric lighting in the affected room,but the boiler is intact, and the ship'ssteaming capabilities were not affected.

Four men suffered from slight burnsand gassing.

The Duke of York descended to aposition in close proximity to the lireand offered hie services, but little couldbe done, except by the engineer!,

LORDS DEBATE.OPPOSING VIEWS

(Received 1.30. p.m.)

LONDON, May 31In the House of Lords Lord Parmoor

initiated a debate on the severing ofrelations with Russia.

He said that such a step was gener-ally a prelude to war. The Government'saction would not stop at propagandaand would adversely affect British trade.

Earl Balfour said the action of theGovernment would not lead to war. TheUnited States had no diplomatic rela-tion with Russia and there was noreason why our position should bedifferent.

Lord Reading agreed that it wasnecessary that Britain should take someaction owing to the Arcos discoveries,but he regretted that the rupture ofrelations had followed.

Lord Birkenhead was convinced thatBritish prestige throughout the worldwas greatly strengthened by the evi-dence that until Russia reformed in con-formity with international morality,decent people would not have diploma-tic relations with her.

Lord Haldane deprecated Lord Birkon-head's strong language and said Britainwould gain nothing by the step taken.(A. and N.Z. and Sydney '•.Sun.")

Arcos, Limited, have applied for Ger-man visas, with a view to winding uptheir business in Britain from Berlin.This request will probably be granted,on condition that the numbers of themembers are limited ard that they donot remain in Germany for a lengthyperiod.

This limitation is likely because 1000representatives of an organisation corres-ponding to Arcos, Limited, are alreadyoperating in Berlin, and this number isconsidered to be enough.—(A. and N.Z.and Sydney "Sun.")

(By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.)


SYDNEY, this day.As there is no evidence of a settle-

Four Union Company steamers areidle, but as the crews of these vesselshave home ports in New Zealand theywill not be paid off immediately.

Another matter now in dispute iswaste meals.

The secretary of the Trimmers' Unionstates when engaging trimmers, theStevedoring Association notified the menof the number of meals it was thoughtthey would require oh the job.

On many occasions the work did notlast as long as was anticipated and somemeals were wasted.

In January last the Reference Boardpave judgment that the men were entit-led to compensation for waste meals,but the Stevedoring Association refusedto grant compensation.

This is now the main point in the dis-pute.

MELBOURNE, this day.The trimmers' strike at Newcastle is

beginning to have a serious effect on thesupplies of coal, which are very lowhere.

Big manufacturers have privatereserves but smaller firms will have toclose down unless a settlement is reachedquickly.

Thousands of workmen will be affectedand the laying up of colliers will placenearly 2000 seamen out of employment.

Between 300 and 400 coal lumpers willalso be affected. Steps are to be takenby the unions concerned to approach theTrades Union Disputes Committee withthe object of intervening in the dispute,in an effort to reach a settlement.

LIBERTY WANTED.Mr. Hodges Explains Decision

To Resign.

SEBVICE TO TELLOW-MEN.

PARIS, May 30.After his resignation of the positionof secretary, following a stormy meeting

of the International Miners' Federation,Mr. Frank Hodges explained the situa-tion in an interview after the meeting.

Hβ said a sub-committee consisting ofM. Djardin (Belgium). Herr Husemann(Germany) nnd Mr. W. P.

Mr. Djardin andHeir Husemann had reported that therewould be no incompatibility, but Mr.Richardson had dissented.

Mr. Hodges declared thnt his decisionto resign was owing to his desire toregain unfettered liberty.

PROHIBITED.CIVIL SERVANTS.

Barred From Trade UnionMembership.

CLAUSE PASSED.

(By Cable.—Press Association.—-CppjTlsht)

LONDON, May 31The debate on the Trade Disputes

and Trade Union Bill in the commit-tee stage was continued yesterday inthe House of Commons. Clause 5,dealing with civil servants, wasmoved.

This prohibits civil servants frombeing members of any trade union, unlessthat body is confined to persons em-ployed under the Crown and is indepen-dent of any outside trade union orfederation of trade unions.

It also must not be associated directlyor indirectly with any political party.Should any established civil servantknowingly'break this regulation he willbe disqualified from continuing to be amember of the civil service.

Commander J. M. Kenworthy (Lab.,Hull) moved to exclude those engagedin occupations analogous to outside ser-vices. He said the civil service unionshad been affiliated with the Trade UnionCongress for 30 years without any un-toward result.

Mr. C. G. Aniraon (Lab., CarcberwellNorth) eaid no civil service in any partof the world, including the Dominions,imposed such an embargo.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr.Churchill, claimed that the clause waslikely to become increasingly popular. Itaimed only at checking unwholesome in-fluences which bad been creeping induring the past few years.

The civil service ought not to beallowed to become entangled in partypolitics. Hβ was glad that only 40civil servants out of 120,000 had beenguilty of disloyalty during the generalstrike.

The Labour amendment was defeatedby 201 votes to 109. The guillotine wasthen applied, the clause was passed, andthe House adjourned.—(A. and N.Z. andSydney "Sun.")

AGRICULTURE.RESEARCH SERVICE.

Comprehensive Empire SchemeProposed.

SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMS.

(British Official WirclrsiO

RL'GBY, Mav 31.The Colonial Conference which hasbeen sitting in London adopted a

resolution approving the general prin-ciples and objects of the scheme forsetting up an agricultural researchorganisation as recommended by asub-committee.

It was decided to request the ColonialOffice to establish a committee to workout a detailed scheme for submission toall the Governments concerned.

The delegates expressed the opinionthat the scheme could be adequatelyfloated on an income of about £175,000,of which considerable portions would befor.the replacement of existing expendi-ture on the salaries of agricultural re-search officers.

The scheme provides that a centralagricultural research council shall beconstituted with a chairman to be ap-pointed by the Colonial Secretary, adirector and a deputy-director. Thedirector should be a man of science ofrecognised standing in the scientificworld, and the deputy-director shouldhave had administrative experience inthe tropics." -' • .

The formal channel of communicationbetween the council and the ColonialSecretary should be through the, .chair-man. It is very essential that both thedirector and the deputy director shouldtravel in the colonies.

The other members of the councilshould be, the director of the RoyalBotanical Gardens at Kew, the directorof the Imperial Bureau of-Entomology,the.director of-the Imperial Bureau ofMycology, a chemist and a representa-tive respectively of veterinary science,the Imperial Institute, the ColonialOffice and the Empire Marketing Board.All the nucleus of scientific workersshould be at the disposal of the council.

One of the most important duties ofthe council would be to remedy thepresent inadequate arrangements for thecollection and dissemination of reports,on agriculture work. The council wouldco-operate with 'the Empire MarketingBoard in assisting in the developmentof a chain of group research stationsthroughout the Empire, the principle ofwhich was approved by the ImperialConference.

It is considered of first importancefor colonial development that a scientificresearch service shall be created. Whatis required is an organisation which willenable the maximum scientific poweravailable in the Empire to be focussedupon colonial scientific problems, andwhich will be capable of overcominggeographical boundaries and racial dis-tinctions, which have no meaning forscience.

It is necessary to have a body ofworkers of the highest class who shallbe well paid and provided with attrac-tive careers. . ,

It is recommended that the serviceshould be created from officers who havebeen engaged in research with the addi-tion of new recruits.

LEAKING MAINS

SYDNEY, May 31A double tragedy occurred at Prmble;

nine miles north ofSome employees of the '■ Gas Company

and the Water Board were endeavour-ing to locate leaks in the gas and watermains. John Simmonds, a turncock inthe employ of the Water Board, openeda man-hole in the street and descended.

Almost immediately the other menheard him cry out for help. HerbertSharp, one of the Gas Company's wor-kers, went down the trim-hole to endea-■rour-to rescue Simmonds.-.,.;- •■

.The watchers on the top of the shaftwere horrified to see Sharp reel and col-lapse in about 3ft of water.

Six of the remaining men attemptedto rescue the first two, but they wereall overcome by the pas fumes, whichwere subsequently discovered to- beescaping from one "of the mains in thesame shaft as the water main.

The police had great difficulty in re-covering the bodies of Simmonds andSharp. They had to lift them to the topof the shaft, which was only 9ft indepth, by means of a long iron barhooked at one end.

A PENITENT THIEF.

USED THE MONEY HIMSELF.

At the age of 64 years, Charles A. Wat-eon fell to temptation. A friend whoresided at the same boarding-house gaveWatson £15 10/ and asked him to payan .account to the Electrical ConstructionCompany, Ltd. Instead of paying thissum, Watson converted it to his ownuse by paying his board and buying someclothes for himself. Therefore it wasno surprise to him when Detective Ser-geant Bickerdike called and asked for anexplanation about the money.

Watson pleaded guilty to stealing themoney when he came up at the PoliceCourt this morning. '

Chief Detective Cummings said thatWatson had never been before the Courtpreviously, and his character had beenquite satisfactory in the past. He wasat present out of employment.

*'I am very sorry for what I have done.I was out of work at the time, and theoffence was committed through force of■circumstances," he told the magistrate-.

"I don't know why the complainantput the temptation in your wayby hand'ing you the money, knowing your posi-tion," Mr. McKean told Watson.

The magistrate added that he did notdetire to send accused to gaol at his age.He would be convicted and ordered tocome up for sentence within 12 months,and was ordered to make restitution.

FOURTH EDITION

(British Official Wireless.)

(Received 3 p.m.)

LONDON. May 1.Lord Lloyd, the British High Com-

missioner, last night handed To theEgyptian Prime Minister. SarwatPasha, a firm, but friendly, Note,designed to remove the various mis-understandings which have existedfor some time past in regard to theEgyptian Army.

The immediate cause of its presenta-tion is the recommendations of the WarCommittee of the Egyptian Chamber,which appear to be a sequel to previousefforts made to undermine the policy ofkeeping the army as an instrument fordefence and for the maintenance oforder, and to utilise it for political andpartisan ends.

After the murder of Sir Lee Stack in10:24, Huddleston Pasha became ActingSirdar, and early in 1025 when he be-came Commander-in-Chief of the SudanDefence Force, he delegated his func-tions as Acting Sirdar to Spinks Pasha,Inspector-General of the Egyptian Army.

The "Times" to-day expresses theview that pressure of the extreme Wafdupon the Egyptian Government, fol-lowed by the recommendation against arenewal of the Sudan credits in Parlia-mentary Committee has made it neces-sary for the British Government todeclare its attitude on the army ques-tion very plainly.

There is no question of withdrawingrecognition of the independent status ofEgypt "whicn was conceded in February.1922.

Time and opportunity have been givenfor all necessary internal adjustmentsin Egypt to her new conditions of inde-pendence. A certain lack of responsive-ness on the part of some prominentEgyptians has been tolerated or over-looked.

It is felt, however, that it is not pos-sible to disregard the direct challengeoffered to the special interests reservedby Great Britain in Egyptian security.

Great Britain is responsible both for•the security of the Suez Canal and forthat of foreign communities in Egyp-tian territory. This* implies constantconcern for the efficiency of the Egyp-tian Army and for the elimination* ofthose influences which are liable to makethe army a plaything of party strife. jand are therefore injurious to its effici- iency.

In the Note now presented to SanvatPasha the special British interest in the ;

Egyptian Army question is emphasised.and the Egyptian Government is re-quested to put forward proposals as to ihow the necessary British co-operation jin the military affairs of the country jmay be most effectively ensured. '

"JOHNNY" ASHORE.

TRIALS OF THE SHIPOWNER,

STEAMER SAILS LATE

When "Johnny" goes ashore lie mi>-t.lof course, "wash the brine off his Iwhiskers," but it is his habit of priminghimself with "Dutch courage" upon theeve of the ship's departure that addsto the grey hairs of the skipper's head.

All day yesterday a steamer wasunloading a disagreeable cargo at oneof the city's wharves, and this no doubtcontributed to the thirst of the crewof the good ship. Be this as it may.four members of the stokehold crowvent up town to lubricate, and at 11o'clock last night, an hour after the!vessel was supposed to have sailed, tlipyhad not returned. Another member ofthe crew went to look for them, but h->!also was soon reported "missing." Thismorning the five sea dogs, two of thembearing scars of war, returned on board.Of the two casualties, one had his handrather badly gashed, apparently theresult of a reckless attempt to' scilethe wharf gates, which are topped with aformidable array of sharp spikes.

During the morning the vessel layalongside the wharf, her Blue Petorflying from the foremast. Eventually theinjured man, who made a trip to thehospital for treatment, was paid off anda new hand signed on in his stead.

And so, after being delayed for nearlyfifteen hours, the freighter cast off aboat1 o'clock this afternoon and sailed outof harbour, bound for Newcastle.

WATER COMMISSION

REPORT AGAIN DELAYED.

(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.'"»WELLINGTON, this day.

The Auckland Water Supply Commis-sion finds a considerable amount of timeis necessary to prepare its report. Theterm of the Commission, which wasextended to May 31, has been furtherextended to the end of June.

A SUBMARINE.

IN AUCKLAND HARBOUR.

SCOW MASTER FINED.

LOAD LINE SUBMERGED.

When the New Zealand Governmentnext thinks of adding to its navalsquadron it will be unnecessary to ordera submarine, for Auckland has alreadyone of the~e underwater craft.

This is the pood ship, or rather scow,Rahiri. of under 20 tons register. Atthe Police Court to-day the master of theRahiri, Knud William Larsen, wascharged by the Marine Department withgoing to sea having the upper edge ofthe scow s load line submersed whenloaded.

Mr. Fleming, for defendant, who wasnot present, pleaded guilty to thecharge, adding that the pumps got outof order, causing the sand to become wet.1 he Rahiri, he said, was engaged in thesand and shingle trade between Coro-mandel Peninsula and Auckland.Captain Larsen was an experienced sea-faring man, and the whole thing wasthe outcome of an accident through thepumps going out of order. Defendanthad a good record, and counsel thoughtthat the penalty imposed should be alight one.

Mr. V. X. Hubble, who prosecuted forthe Marine Department, described thecase as a glaring one. The vessel's free-board was only one and a-half incheswhen the correct load was carried. Thescow had a bad list to starboard, andthe overloading meant that Tin of thedeck was a\va.>li.

"It is a submarine, not a scow," saidthe magistrate, Mr. W. R. McKean.

Mr. Hubble admitted thaat the pumpshad gone wrong, but reminded the Court,and also Mr. Fleming, that it was themaster's duty to see that the. pumpswere working properly.

Mr. McKean said he did not proposeto inflict the maximum penalty, whichwas £50. Larsen would be lined £4and costs.

OBJECTION TO CLASSES.

EDUCATION BOARD"S POSITION.

The fact that some parents objectedto the attendance of their children atspecial classes for backward pupils wasbriefly mentioned by the chairman ofthe Auckland Education Board (Mr. A.Burns) at this morning's meeting. Hesaid it was just a question whether ornot compulsion could be employed insuch cases.

It was decided to refer the matter tothe Education Department, with a viewto ascertaining the board's position inthe matter.

CASH-ON-DELIVERY.

OBJECTIONS OF TRADERS.

AND THE DEPARTMENT'S VIEW

MR. COATES HEARS BOTH SIDES

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, Tuesday."At the outset we want to establish

this position that we are the test judgesof what does or does not affect our ownbusiness," said Mr. W. Simm, thespokesman of a deputation which askedMr. Coates to reconsider the attituderegarding the cash-on-delivery parcelssystem.

"Government Acting for Merchants."Mr. Simm asserted that had there

been no institution of the system by thePostal Department, following a postalconference, nothing would have beenheard of the demand for the system inNew Zealand. They had no quarrel withthe mail order business. If a purchaserin New Zealand wished to send moneyto England for goods to be deliveredby parcel post they had not the slightestobjection. They did object, however, tot? * Government acting on behalf ofBritish merchants in the matter of col-lecting and transmitting payments forparcels on delivery. They had no desireto restrict importations.

Mr. C. A. Bowden, president of theWellington Chamber of Commerce, saidthe protest had been endorsed by all thechambers in the Dominion, which viewedthe system with great concern.

West Coast Using System.Mr. S. M. Harrison, principal of the

secretary's office of the General PostOffice, said the system had been intro-duced in New Zealand at the request ofthe British Government, which asked theNew Zealand Government to co-operatein the service. The officials of the postoffice were unable to see that the systemhad grown to such alarming proportionsas had been stated. He said that incertain districts, notably on the WestCoast of the South Island, there hadbeen a great growth in business. Hesuggested that the increase wasaccounted for by the transference fromthe ordinary mail order system to theC.O.D. system.

Mr. Siuim: We do not agree withthat.

Mr. Harrison quoted departmentalfigures in support of his contention. Hesaid that last year C.O.D. parcels to theDominion increased by 12,799, whereasordinary parcels from Great Britain in-creased" by only 3SC3, a difference ofalmost 9000. So far as the post officewas concerned it was only providing aservice that had been asked for.

In reply to a question by the PrimeMinister, "Mr*. Harrison said retail firmsin New Zealand themselves had madeuse of the C.O.D. system.

Mr. Sinim said boots and shoes werecoming in by the C.O.D. system andevading the "inspection required und>>rthe footwear regulations. Importers, onthe other hand, were compelled to sub-mit their goods to rigid inspection toguard against "shoddy."

Public Interest Involved.The Prime Minister said it wa9 a

matter whether the case made out by thedeputation was sufficient to outweighthe point of view of public interest andbenefit. He would consider setting up asmall committee of inquiry, but his mainconsideration would centre around whatthe disadvantage might be to theretailers and the set-off to the public.

''Accidental death" was tlio fliuliii"returned at the completion of the inquestthis afternoon on James Henry Flight.who was killed on Kin:r"s wharf.

Flight, with other men. was movinga grab on a trolley, when without wan*ing the trolley bumped, and the grab felloff, pinning him beneath it.

According to evidence, the trolleywas wheeled over a depression aboutan inch deep in the floor, where a pieceof concrete had been chipped out. Flighthad moved grabs before, and was not" inthe habit of being careless while doiii"so.

One witness stated that grabs werenot usually fastened to the trolleys, asit was considered that the weight of thegrab was enough to keep it in place.

The man was admitted to the Auck-land Hospital, suffering from severe in-juries to the spine and hips. Despitetill efforts to combat the shock he sus-tained he died four hours later. Heis survived by his wife and three sons.

SCHOOL STAFFING.

PROPOSED ALTERATION TOGRADING SYSTEM

ATTITUDE OF EDUCATION BOARD

Tlie Education Department regards it asimpracticable to consider yearly averageattendances, bused on the. lour quartersending September, instead of December,at present, for the purpose of dealingwith the- stalling and grading of schools.This information was received at thismorning's meeting of the AucklandEducation Board.

When tho subject was raised for dis-cussion, Mr. G. Brownlee said ho didnot know whether tho board would bein order to say that they did not agreewith the Department's conclusion. Hecertainly did not agree with it. Thetrouble was that tho proposal would bea change, and the Department did notwant to make it. The alteration wouldallow teachers' appointments and ad-justments to be made during the Christ-mas holidays.

The Chairman (Mr. A. Burns): 1think this question is coining up at theEducation Council.

It was decided to restate the case infavour of the amendment to the De-partment

"QUEENSWAY."

NEW NAME FOR STREET

ADOPTED WITHOUT AUTHORITY

WELLINGTON, this day.Though the City Council has not yet

formally moved in the direction ofchanging the names of Kent and Cam-bridge Terraces to Queensway, but hasmerely indicated its intention to doso—an intention which is creating aconsiderable discussion—someone hasapparently badly beaten legal formali-ties, for Queensway name-plates arealready firmly nailed, screwed, fastenedand bound—in short, very much puton—several poles along the thorough-fares. Tho proprietors of variouslaundries, grocery shops, coal yards,etc., following the example, have hadQueensway tacked on to their businessplates. As a matter of 'act, the matterof changing the name has yet to bo dis-cussed by the council. It has to besanctioned by a special meeting andthen advertised for not less than fourweeks. Opposition to tho change comesfrom several directions, and the proposalwill certainly be challenged when thetime conies.

FIRE IN COSTUME FACTORY.RUTLAND STREET OUTBREAK.BRIGADE MAKES SMART SAVE.

FIRM LOSES HEAVILY

Good work was done by the AucklandFire Brigade last night in savin? athree-storeyed brick building in RutlandStreet, but enough damage was done tocause much loss to Fraser, Liniite 1,costume makers, who were busv onspring orders, and will now probablylose the season. Their sewing machines,on the top floor, were all put out ofaction, many pounds' worth of costumesbeing manufactured, or finished, woreburned, and stock goods on the floorbelew were damaged by smoke amiwater. It is a mystery how the firestarted, but the assumption is that itoriginated at the back of the electricswitchboard on the second floor, and theflumes swept upwards by thedraught up the stairway. On the sideopposite the stairway the building hasnot suffered so much, and fortunatelymost of the firm's patterns, representingyears of experience and accumulation,have been saved.

Mr. Fraser was on the premises untilsome time after nine last night, andwhen ho left everything was perfectlysafe and normal. Tho alarm reachedthe Central Brigade just before ten, andthe suddenness supports tho theory thatthe trouble started behind the switch-board, that part of the building beinghe worst charred. In spite of the in-flammable nature of the inside of thebuilding, with its piles of dress fabric,the fire brigade, under SuperintendentWil«on, made a splendid "save," andconfined the trouble to a comparativelysmall area.

On the proiind floor Messrs. Fojrjritt.Jones and Company, who deal in cheese,suffered only through water and smoke',the worst of tho damage being causedon the second floor where Messrs. Fraser.Limited, had their cutting rooms, andstored a large quantity of valuable dressmaterial. The sewing machines woreall in the workroom at the top of thebuilding, where there is a rather peculiarinstance of the intense heat. A tweedcostume hanging on a coathook readvfor sending o«t has been literally bakedto a cinder, but still hangs intact, thepeculiar feature Win-; that it eould nothave been in the direct path of theflames, and must have beon "cooked."

Owned by Messrs. Turnbull and•Tone*, the building was insured for £400in the Royal Exchange- Insurance.Eraser, Limited, had their s-tock andfittings insured in the Eagle, Star, andBritish Dominions Insurance Companyfor £8000. The amount of the damagelias not yet been a=se>sod, but it mustbo considerable.

EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS.

AUCKLAND BOARD MEETS.

TRAIN FARES FOR POST-PRIMARY PUPILS.

POLICY OF THE DEPARTMENT.

The Auckland Education Board metthis morning, Mr. A. Burns presiding.

The Education Department wrotesetting out its policy for the future indeciding whether or not pupils shonldbe allowed to travel free by rail to apost-primary school other than the onenearest their own town. In all casesthe Department would be prepared toallow a junior or a senior free place tobe held at any post-primary school, pro-vided it incurred no additional expense.In other words, parents may select mnyschool they wished, provided they paidtransit expenses. The question of tietenure of free places by pupils who re-quired to board at a post-primary schoolwhen there wa3 one nearer home whichthey could conveniently attend, wouldbe dealt with later.

Tho chairman said that pupils takingsecondary commercial courses would beprovided with their fares.

Advice was received that the Depart-ment had decided that no action betaken for tho present with reference tothe proposed conversion of the EpsomSchool into an associated normal school.The question would be considered afterthe new normal school on the TrainingCollege site was in operation.

Notification was received that theMinister had reappointed Mr. E. C.Banks to be a member of the GeneralCouncil of Education, to represent theinterest of agriculture. Messrs. J. R.Kirk and T. L. Wells had been re-electedunopposed to represent the EducationBonnls of the North Island.

Changes in the personnel of com-mittees of the Matamata and North-cote Junior High Schools have beencarefully considered by tho EducationDepartment, and it had been decidedthat, as the whole question of tho man-agement of junior high schools must beconsidered in connection with the con-solidation of educational legislation, andnew regulations had to be issued sometime in the near future, there was no needat present to disturb the special regula-tions introduced to deal with the schoolsnamed.

In reference to the question of inno-culating school children against diph-theria, the headmaster of the Papa-toetoo School explained that he was notagainst the measure, providing parentsconsented to the operation. He hadobjected to it because he thought theinnoculation would interfere with schoolwork.

The Medical Officer of Health reportedthat the matter had been satisfactorilycleared up.The Director of Dental Hygiene wrote

regarding the application *of the TePuke Committee for the establishmentof a dental clinic, stating that it wouldnot be possible for at least twelvemonths to adopt the suggestion that thedental nurse at Tauranga be employedpart time at their school.

The Grey Lynn Committee wrotestating that it was prepared to raiseadditional contributions towards thecost of the dental clinic erected at theschool, but asking for the position tobe defined in the event of anotherschool sending its pupils for dentaltreatment. The Director of DentalHygiene stated that it was expected totreat Newton West and Richmond Westpupils at Grey Lynn clinic, and thatthtf question of contributions from otherschool committees waa purely a matterof arrangement between committees.

The matter was referred to the committees to settle between themselves.

WAIKATO WINTER SHOW.

BIG CROWD AT OPENING.

OPTIMISM OF GOVERHOR-GENXRAL.

'KEEP UP YOUR HEART/,

(By Telegraph—Special Reporter.)HAMILTON, Tue~dav. j

iHundreds of farmers and townspeople I

were present when the Waikalo Winter jShow Association's twenty-first annualdisplay was opened this afternoon bythe Governor-General, Sir CharlesFerjrusson. The area immediately in;front of the balcony was thronged with |people from all parts of the South Auck-land district, and the assemblage in-cluded prominent visitors from otherparts of the North Island.

"Keep up your heart and believe thatit is all coming right. Everythingpromises that way," said his Excellency,in referring to the depression throughwhich the dairy industry has been pass-ing. Fanners complained that theywere having hard times, but during thepast week there had been a rise of 6/in the price of butter and an enormousrise in the price of cheese. That wasa matter for much satisfaction. Indus-trial depression at Home was mainlyresponsible for the depression which hadbeen experienced here. When, GreatBritain was able to restore herself tonormal conditions would come right in 'New Zealand.

In thanking the president of the Wai-kato Winter Show Association (Mr. W.Wallace), for the welcome he had ex-tended, and also the Hon. J. A. Young(Minister of Health and member forHamilton), and the Mayor of Hamilton(Mr. Fow), for their kindly expressions,Sir Charles Fergusson apologised for theabsence of Lady Alice Fergusson. HerExcellency, he said, was only now re-covering from her indisposition. Thiswas her flrst public engagement, but shewas not yet able to be on the platform.He thanked the speakers and all thoseassembled, for the welcome they wouldhare accorded Lady Fergusson had shebeen present, A little later in theafternoon she would join the party andwould be present at the show.

On this occasion he could not helpwishing that his father, who wa?

Governor of New Zealand more than 53years ago, could have lived to see thisday, when Hamilton celebrated itsfiftieth birthday and the WaikatoWinter Show Association held its 21stannual exhibition.

What Might Have Been.'When my father saw the Waikato

he said it was the country for him," hisExcellency continued, "and till the dayof his death he never ceased to prophecythat Waikato would become one of thegreatest pastoral producing districts inthe world." Sir Charles reminded thosepresent that his father had taken up aconsiderable area of land in the Waikato,and after holding it for 14 or 15 year«,and having spent all his money on it(laughter), he had to get out. Hadcircumstances been different, the speakerinipht to-day have been a brother farmer,living in the old homestead at Gordonton.(Applause-).

Primary Producers' Efforts.Stressing the great educative \alue of

the show, Sir Charles said it was verynecessary that the people who li\ed inthe town*, aixl who were very preat con-sumers, should learn about those whooffered them the opportunity to buy goojclothes and expensive motor cars. Itshould always be kept in mind that ifthe Dominion was going to compete onthe world's market, and meet thethat foreign competitors could offer, shewould have to look to the standard ofher products, and see to it that it wasmaintained on a hiph level. The pro-duce to l>c seen at the show was theresult of learning and education. Greatlyj increased buiterfat (induction had tet-n

j made po>*ible by herd tetinj and bythe importation of the l»est breeding

, stock that was to l«o hid. The importa-tion of the very iiiu->t .-Unk \ia.<. hisKvcelleney believed, the bo.-t and mu.-timpoilant point of all.

Quality of Export Butter.I People in the Old Country had been

troubled tin the score of the quality andflavour of New Zealand butter after it

, had been stored, s-aid his Excellency, butthe tr-t- ii ade ;;t this show, on butterthat had Wn s.elecU-U at random from

i the exjort ? tores, ?ho\\ ed that there wa*Ho i-1-caM..n for fear. The generalquality iif the butter ;md <bee*e had l*vns)H.ken of in the higher term*, whichwent tr. show that the standard through-out all the districts oi the Dominion »aeI hizh. "And that. I think, is exactly■ what we want." concluded his Exiflwmy.I The \ joe-Rejral party, accompanied bvI the Minister oi" Health and officials of

: the association, made a tour of the show, which covers a total nW space of >>.

j acres, in addition to the amusement parksituated outside the main buildings.THE AWARDS.

MORE OFFICERS WANTED.

Satisfaction at the work being carriedout in the primary schools in the Auck-land district by the medical and dentalofficers of the Health Department is ex-pressed in the annual report of the Auck-land Education Board.

In the evidence given during the hear-ing of the case it was shown that onMtß. Clarke's arrival at the nursinghome she was not questioned, and asshe did not complain of pains she wasnot expected to have the child half anihour after going into the home. Thebaby was born on the floor.

After several doctors had given evi-dence yesterday that there was nothingunusual in a nurse not questioning apatient when she came to a nursinghome, and that there was no responsi-bility upon the nurse to do so, Mr.Dickson, appearing for Nurse Donald,submitted the evidence was overwhelm-ing to show there was no neglect on th-part of Nurse Donald. He contendedthat the health of Mrs. Clarke was dueto the loss of her baby and not to themethod of its birth. "Mr. Clarke isclaiming damages," said Mr. Dickson,"and he asks for fares to Auckland,board in Auckland, also board for a childat Mamaku. What has that got to dowith us? He came down to Auckland to•ee his wife, and because the childunfortunately died he wants to chargeIlis expenses up to my client."

Mr. McKean said he would give a writ-ten decision to-morrow. The evidencedisclosed circumstances which were verydistressing to Mrs. Clarke, but he wouldhave to conclude that she had sufferedbo physical injury through the methodof birth of the child. '"Early in thecase I was surprised to learn that thestandard of care required of a nurse onthe admission of a patient to a mater-nity hospital was not very hi.srn." saidhis Worship, who added that there wasonly one decision he could arrive at onthe evidence. He had to decidewhether the conduct of Nurse Donaldhad reached the common standard of.what might be expected of a nursj underthe as given in evidence.*nd there was only one conclusion hecould draw.#

Mr. Dickson: Would your Worshipindicate the judgment "will not go•gainst Nurse Donald?

His Worship (smiling): You will find.that on Thursday.

LINKED UP.

ANOTHER CONCRETE ROAD.

HIGHWAY THROUGH MOUNTALBERT.

TWO MILES BEING PAVED.

Mount Albert made its decision laetyear to link up with the city's concret-ing system at Kingsland, and the mainroad through the borough, New NorthRoad, is being concreted for almost twomiles. Within a few months the rutsand potholes, which have made the roada reproach of Mount Albert for manyyears, will be a thing of the past; andthe New North Road will rival thepresent concrete highway through GreyLynn and Point Chevalier as an outletto the North.

By the end of next week the work ofpaving the southern side will be com-pleted from Kingsland to the tramterminus. Almost half that length isnow opened for traffic, and the peopleare enjoying an improvement that theyhave been looking forward to for a longtime.

Total Cost of £23,812.The total value of the work done is

about £11,000. Messrs. H. Bray andCo. have the contract at a price of£23,712, which is £3240 below thi-engineers estimate. Work was begunimmediately after the New Year holidaysand the first concrete was laid on March14. The total length from the Kings -

land Post Oflice to the tram terminus is153 chains. At the junction withMount Albert Road the concrete widensout to 27 feet, but for the greater partof the length it is about 15 feet, narrow-ing to 14 feet 3 inches at one point.The principal specification is that theconcrete shall be 6 inches thick.

A fortnight ago work was begun atthe Kingsland end on the northern sideof the tram lines. As a preliminary tothe whole undertaking the Mount AlbertBorough Council lifted the 8 inch watermain, which was formerly in the road-way and re-laid it in the footpath onthe southern side. In addition, a new6 inch main was laid on the northernside of the road and several cross-con-nections were made between the twomains. Gas reticulation along the NewNorth Road was treated in the same way,the idea being to avoid breaking up theroad as was done in the past.

Beyond the Terminus.Footpath improvements are not in-

cluded in the roading coptract. Theywill be carried out by the borough coun-cil, the estimate being £1828. Theengineer's estimate for the completescheme of roading, footpaths and altera-tions and additions to the water mainswas £45,000. No estimate has beenobtained for treating the three-quartersof a mile of the New North Road fromthe tram terminus to the boroughboundary at Oakley Creek culvert. Inregard to this, the Mayor Mr. L. E.Rhodes), says that he intends to advo-cate that the section should be under-taken after the completion of the pre-sent roading contract. The nature ofthe paving remains to be decided. Theconstruction of the road will dependto some extent upon whether the CityCouncil decides to end the tramwayservice along this route as far as Avondale.

"We were very disappointed at notreceiving a contribution from the MainHighways Board towards the cost ofthe concreting on the New North Road,"said Mr. Rhodes to-day. "The Boardhas power under the Act to contributeup to 50 per cent of the cost, becausethe road ia a continuation of a mainhighway and is the main road runningthrough Mount Albert."

mings that complainant and accusedwere in an hotel bar on May 21 whenHickey was shown the tie pin. After-wards the pin was replaced in North'stie, but a few minutes later he discoveredthat it was missing. So was Hickey.When interviewed abotit the matterHickey denied all knowledge of the tiepin, but Detective McHugh had dis-covered that he had been endeavouringto> sell it. The tie pin had been re-covered, but only after much trouble.There were no conviction?against accused.

BROADCASTING RUGBY.

WISDOM OF POLICY DOUBTED.POSSIBLE REVENUE SOURCE.

CANTERBURY UNION'S DEBATE.


CHRISTCHURCH. this day.The question of broadcasting a descrip-

tion of the football matches at LancasterPark, and the possible effect of this onattendances at the matches were dis-cussed by the management committee ofthe Canterbury Rugby Union last night.The matter was introduced by Mr. C. S.McCully. who snid that last Saturday'smatch was not broadcast. It had beenmissed by patients in the hospitals. Hewondered if the union could do any-thing in the direction of having theOval mat' ,,! hroad/ast everv Saturdav.

Mr. J. K. Moloney said he thought?thatif the Broadcasting Company were askedto broadcast the Oval match every Sat-urday they would be \*lvu sod t<> do *<>.

Mr. S. F. Wilson doubted whether thiswould be ii wise policy for the union. Ih<knew of people who stayed away froma match it they thought they could heara description over the wireless. The com-pany should pay the union something forthe privilege of broadcasting. The com-pany was not a benevolent institution.It was getting- revenue out of the busi-ness. He asked how the company had ob-tained permission to broadcast matchesin the past.

The secretary said tliat an applicationto broadcast the Old Boys-Christchurchgame this season had not been broughtbefore the committee owing to an over-sight. He had given permission, as per-mission to broadcast matches had beengiven last season.

Mr. Moloney said that soldiers of theconsumption sanatorium had approachedhim with reference to the brnacastingof matches and he had advised them toapply to the company.

Mr. A. E. Flower said that there was amovement at Home against the broad-casting of matches.

Mr. A. E. McPhail said it was possiblethat the broadcasting of a match affectedthe attendance.

Mr. McCnlly thought the time mightcome when the right to broadcast wouldbring in a lot of revenue to the union.Therefore they should not gi'e the com-pany the right to broadcast for morethan a season at a time.

Mr. McPhail: It is understood that thecompany will have to obtain permissionbefore it can broadcast anv match.

THE FLOUR DUTY.

GOVERNMENTS INTENTIONS

SLIDING SCALE PROPOSED.

TO BRING STABILISATION

(Bt Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON. Tuesday.The following statement by the Prime

Minister was made late to nirht inregard to the dutie* on flour:—

The Government has for s-omo lui.ehad under consideration the question a>to the best method winch can l* adaptedto encourage the growing of wheat in r■■■Dominion. In connexion with thi-matter the interests of both the ]■-••-ducers and consumers n. u-t be con-sidered. If on the one hand a policy i*adopted under which in any year orseries of years the price of wheal to '.In-grower in New Zealand i≤ below thainecessary to give him a reasonablereturn this would have the effect ofrestricting the area u>ed for the produc-tion of wheat. On the other hand if inany year or series of years the price ofwheat is relatively hiph this must havethe effect of causing hiph prices of breiuland other wheat product* to the generalconsumer. It is dc-.-iretl also thatarrangements should be made underwhich the conflicting interests of thn*.caffected can be adjusted without rer-ouwto special Governmental action such asembargoes, price-fixing. State importa-tion, etc. , -1,-1^

After considering all the circumstancesand possible courses of action the (;.i\-ernment has come to the conclusion tlwtthis object can l*->t be attained by asystem of customs duties denned on theone hand to enable the grower to obtaina reasonable price for his wheat whenworld prices are low and on the other tokeep the cost of bread and other wheatproducts at as low a lewl a< possiblewhen world prices are hiph.

It has, therefore, been decided to ado; :

a sliding scale of duties so fixed that therate of duty on flour trill increase whenthe price outside New Zealand falU. hitwill decrease when world prices incrca-e.It is, therefore, proposed to ask Parlia-ment next session to alter the prc>cmduties on flour to the following ba>is :

"Wheat flour, including wheatmeal andsimilar preparations; when the currentdomestic vaJue of flour is £13 a ton of20001b ad valorem tie duty shall be £.710/ a ton, provided that \u when ihecurrent domestic value exceeds £13. therate of duty shall lie dt-creased by <-,].,•shilling per 20001b ad valorem fr.rV>errone shilling or fraction of one shillins bywhich the said current domestic valueexceeds £13; (21 when the rurrei.tdomestic value is less than £]?,. the raleof duty shall be increased by one shillingper 2(»001b for every one t-hilling orfraction of one shilling by which thecurrent domestic valne is leU than £1.1VMsen these duties take offpci dumnin"duty will not W charprvl on imt«.n <-dflour.

ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY.• i

STATEMENT BY PREMIER.DELIVERY IN DECEMBER, 1928.

CONFERENCE IN HAMILTON SOON.

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

A special statement regarding electricpower supply, the devlopment of Ara-puni, and possible delays in the work,"was made by the Prime Minister (Rt.Hon. J. G. Coates) in an interview.

"It was generally thought," said Mr.Coates, "that power should have beensupplied by July, 1927. However, owingto unexpected difficulties, it has alreadybeen intimated by the Public WorksDepartment that power will not beavailable from Arapuni till approxi-mately seventeen months later—sav,December, 1928.

"The Government's arrangement withthe Auckland Power Board provides forthe delivery of power in March, 1928.■with a proviso that the scheme can beready -by that date.

"Action has been taken by the Minis-ter of Public Works to call" for the fol-lowing information:-—

"A correct and up-to-date curve ofdemands, throughout typical days, byall supply authorities, in order to "ascer-tain how far the actual existing plantsmeet that demand.

_ "A conference is being called," con-tinued Mr. Coates. '-It will be held inHamilton in about ten days' time.Chairmen and engineers of the varioussupply authorities will attend, and theposition will be thoroughly discussed., ' :

"LONG OVERDUE."

RADIO LISTENERS' LEAGUE.FORMED IN CHRISTCHTTRCH.

ENTHUSIASM SHOWN.


CHRISTCHURCH, this day.The formation of a listeners' league

to watch the interests of radio enthusi-asts was approved by a largely attendedmeeting of those interested last night.

"It is felt, I am told by a number ofpeople in Christchurch, that the tinu;has come for the formation of an asso-ciation or league of this kind," saidthe Mayor, Rev. J. K. Archer, who pre-sided. "You all know that we have abroadcasting company here that looksafter that side of the business, and it isnow felt that there should be some or- jganisation to look after the interests of |those who have to do with the otherside."

Mr. K. M. Gresson, who, with Mr.D. C. Cossgrove, convened the meeting,said that he thought the attendance thatnight was sufficient evidence that thetime was ripe for the formation of aleague to further the interests of listen-ers, and generally to keep them bandedtogether. There were three classes oflisteners—those interested in the makingj and selling of sets, whose interest wascommercial, those ivho made a study ofradio, and the vast body of listeners "wholistened in for the fun of it. It wasonly risht, he thought, that this lastclass, which was a very large one, shouldhave some sort of organisation throughwhich those who composed it might makttheir voices heard by those who con-trolled broadcasting. If there weresocieties that could reconcile the conflict-in? desires of listeners and generallvpromote their interests, it would be au'oofl thing. Anything in the natureof criticism, he said, would lie out of

; place at that meeting. Did they wanta leapue to improve matters? That wavthe question. He moved: "That thismeeting approves of the formation of alisteners' league.*'

Mr. A. D. Ford: T think the formationof a league of th>"s kind is like the raidon the Arcos Building in London. It'slong overdue. (Laughter.)

Mr. H. B. Alleway said that branches Imight be formed in various centres. Itwas impossible to please everyone, he'knew, hut if they learned the wishes ofthe majority, and had the broadcastingoompnnies fall in with these wishes withregard to programmes, then they wouldbe fulfilling a useful mission.

Mr/ L. Slftde said that he had beendfilegnterl by the Radio Society of Christ-clunch to attend the meeting and tootter the assistance of the society.

Mr. Greason's motion wae carried.

REVISION FROM A TO Z.i

TECHNICAL SCHOOL SYSTEM.

MINISTER SEES URGENT NEED.

COMPLAINTS OF OVERCROWDING, j(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

PALMERSTON NORTH, this day."It seems to me that the whole ques-

tion of technical education will have tobe revised. Wherever I go I hear a con-tinual cry about the technical schoolsbeing overcrowded. If you are con-tinually adding new classes, of course Jthey will be overcrowded. We musthave some limit to the number of classesorganised."

The Hon. R. A. Wright, Minister ofEducation, made the foregoing state-I ment last evening when replying to s

I request from the committee of theTechnical School for increased accom-modation to meet the demand of intend-ing students.

The chairman of the committeestressed the tremendous growth of theschool since 1924, and said that teachinghad to be carried on on an upstairs land-ing. New classes were waiting to be |formed.

The Minister supplemented his re-marks by stating that technical schoolswere not instituted to take every half-do2en people who came along andwanted to form a class. This was goingon all over New Zealand. It seemed thatthe directors of technical schools ran theboards and wanted to build big schools.Technical schools were founded with theobject of taking primary school childrenand giving them, if they preferred it,academic or technical education. "Wehave got away from that," the Ministerconcluded. "The system will have to berevised from A to Z."

w observe that s:?acv ? roFe« na, W . ta

£ade during the past year a, in previou, , re

\ir- that tie r.ral results are j**Lre satisfactory. It was very obvious-irr* that there toiust to j

fcfr et-adv Increase in the demand for j j_afertilisers, 'owing principally to the fact ;

*

that their use presentee the surest and |™

BOSt rapid means of increasing pro- jinction and proms irom_ farming!operation;. It is also obvious that : v*;& movement is V.und to continue as |tisere are still va-t <H.poi m ifii» 1 1(.

Erection, uarticularly in the sheep dis- j...trfcu and in the huge areas of de- j &

teriorated lands. ine directors have j uclosely -watched this development, and je-tome two years ago they -were faced wwith tie alternatives of duplicating the j tiTe Papapa wcrSs. or establishing works gjin another centre. They decided on the alatter alternative mainly on account ofthe saving in railway freights and themore eScier.: service that could thereby Dbe rendered to the other provinces con-

The works of the Taranaki NJleat Company a: X?w Pymouth were hiacquired and remodelled for the pur- tlposes of a fertiliser works, and manu- yfacruring operations commenced in Janu- i=aix. 1926. That the establishment of tiworks in Taranaki is fully warranted Elas been clearly demonstrated by the 11satisfactory output obtained during the Plist twelve months, and while there is Tl

room for considerable improvement, I Pi*re no doubt that before long they will wbe fully employed. The output from the nTe Papapa works has been well main-tained, and if the demand in the Auck- °

land province continues to develop in 3tie same ratio as during the past sixTears, it will soon be necessary to .'

consider an enlargement.Excessive Competition. q

Oiie of the most notable events in the 11

year's working has been the excessive~

Dcompetition which has taken place in atie last few months, during which prices Phave been brought to such a level that vmanufacturing costs are barely met, Pwhile interest on capital and distribut- S

ing costs are entirely unprovided for. ~This position ox affairs has arisenthrough the New Zealand Co-operativeDairy Company entering the business asshareholders in a rival company, andsetting out to eliminate the merchant Bfrom the business. The farmer who j,tike? the short-sighted view can see anothing but gain in the present position, j-He is apt to consider that cheap vfertilisers are the sole objective, butthere is another side to the question.The costs by manufacture and distribu-tion, including the financing of both -

these operations, must be met, and if vcheapness is obtained by undnly xesirictr ?

mg fhe provision, for these services, athere- must result very detrimental feffects which will, I am convinced, be tborne mainly by the farmer himself in 1the long ran. There must be .adequate cprovision for all the operations of the (industry, _otherwise .it .cannot provide 'the security and the return necessary toattract the capital "for its development, 'which will assuredly be required if it is 3to continue to keep pace with the 1requirements of the farming industrv. 1

So far as this company is concerned, 1the merchant can conduct the distribu- 1tion far more economically and efficientlythan we can ourselves, as his operationsinclude many other lines, and it Ijeasier for him to get into close touch*"iih the consumers.

We are all alive to the advantages tothe farmers and to the whole Dominionto be derived from cheap fertilisers, butlike any other business, the fertiliserindustry must be run on sound businessfines. It cannot be run asa philanthropy.Those who have invested capital in thecompany are entitled to a fair rate ofdividend. Those who are prepared toinvest capital in the distribution of thecompany s products and to efficientlyperform the serric-es thereby entailed,are entitled to a fair return for theirlabour and capital.

Low Quotations.There has just come under my notice

8 copy of the X-Z. Dairy Produce Ex-porter of May 28, in which appears anannouncement ot the Challenge Phos-phate Company. Limited. In this an-nouncement reads:—"Our competitors"object is to induce you to buy fromthem so that the-v will ultimately beable to get the ppce back to £o d 1 />

The reference to competitors, nodoubt, includes the Xew Zealand Far-mers' Fertiliser Co., Ltd.. and on behalfof this company I have to say that thestatement is without any justification,and it would be quite as justifiable fortie Fertiliser Company to impute aKnular object to the Challenge Com-pany.

Another extract from the same an-nouncement reads:—"Order for August-

September are now being received onihe basis of whatever price is ruling attime of delivery. If our price is higher

that of nur other manufacturers !Jon will havp the risht to cancel."

Sightly or wrongly the ChallengeCompany takes full credit for the pre-sent low quotations, but apparentlyanticipates that- its prices may be abovethat of its competitors. I am only con-cerned with the ethics of propaganda,and I cannot irnasine that the announce-ment in question had the full approvaloi.the responsible directors of the Chal-lenge Phosphate Company, who I believeEre men of hisrh business integrity.

iumin? to the balance-sheet, thehas been .ih!e to return a satis-

' -ftory profit, which allows the usual'iridend of 71 t>er cent. The bank in-debtedness woffij appear to be at arather high figure, but this is reallyRecounted for by reason of the muchheavier stocks carried at both Aucklandand Xew Plymouth works, the value"eing over £27.000 in excess of lastyears stocks. The demand durins the«st few months had been of such a heavynature that the company was reallyfortunate in bavin? ample supplies to&eet the abnormal demand.

The item '"sundry creditors,"' amount-mg-to £44.8G0 10/6. represents goodspurchased, the usna.l trading liabilities,and includes provision for income tax.

This year the directors decided it wasinadvisable to writ-e down rights andconcessions account, as they considered

view of the present competition thatit would be better to cany forward thebalance of profits to next Year's accounts.Full provision had been made for baddebts, and the item "sundry debtors,•kieh stands at £37,26.5 2/il, may betrtra as a really sound asset-

GOODS FROM ENGLAND.

OBJECTIONS OF RETAIURS."NO MATERIAL ADVANTAGE. •

C.O.D. SYSTEM ANATHEMATISED.

While a section of the buying publicof the Dominion i≤ of opinion that goodsmay be bought in England on the cash-on-delivery system very much morecheaply than they can* be procured in.New Zealand, wholesalers and retailers01 the Dominion have very decidedopinions to the contrary. Only ye*ter-aa.. the Prime Minister received a" depu-tation representing the wholesale andretail traders, who renewed their at-tempts to have the C.O.D. svstem abol-ished.

Speaking o n behalf of one of thelargest retaii houses in Auckland, abusiness man told the Auckland -Stare"representative this morain? that thosewho bought in England on the systemunder review were usually prompted bythe thought that they would get "greatervalue for their money, or. in some case*a particular line of "goods not availableto the New Zealand purchasing public""This isa fallacy." he s-aid. '-for the bigfirms of this country offer theirtomers the choicest of British and for-eign manufactures. No trader any-where in the world is more discriminatingman the New Zeaiander. and all the bigfirms throughout the country work ona highly-specialised system, so that the>buy only the highest quality stuff.Dominion Firms Eliminate Wholesalers.

'"What is not generally known is thatNew Zealand retailers of any standinghave the privilege of buying direct fromthe great 'manufacturing" houses ofGreat Britain. The wholesaler's profitis eliminated. This privilege is onethat has long wen sought by thej majority of firms in Great Brita'in, butit is denied to all but a few of the mostpowerful organisations which controlvery large establishments. Now, thepoint i≤ this. A great many of the firmswhich send out catalogues of goods whichmay be bought C.OJ). are retail organi-sations. Most of the advertisementsof English firms which reach this coun-try are published by retailers, so thatwhen a New Zeaiander purchases fromsuch a house he has to pay a price whichincludes the English, wholesaler's profit."Then there is the big question ofquality. An article may be cataloguedin such a way a-s to make it appear ahighly desirable commodity, offered ata very low price, but when it reaches thepurchaser it may be anything but whatwas expected. On the other hand, theperson buying in New Zealand has theadvantage of being able to handle andinspect the article required, and mostfirms give a guarantee which protectsthe purchaser. It is a fact well knownto the trade that much shoddy staffcomes into New Zealand per medium ofthe cash-on-delivery system. There isno means of checking it. We whoimport for direct sale to the purchaserare forbidden to buy shoddy goods, sincethere are very exacting regulationswhich protect the retailers."

New Zealuders Well Served.Another opinion expressed was that

New Zealarfders on the whole, verywell served. The markets of the worldi for. thebest, wares obtain-able, and one could buy.in New Zealandpractically anything that was offered tcthe people of Gffeat Britain. A businessman in touch -with an extensive matorder delivery system said that everjeffort was made to bring the countrjbuyer into touch with the activities o:his firm, and by means of a system oiadvertising and special catalogues thtrural resident was afforded many of th<

, advantages of the city shopper. Ajadvisory service was at the disposal oOHt-of-town people, and they we*catered for by means of samples an<patterns, so that they were in a position to know just what they were buy

( ing. This department did not pay, buthe firm desired to keep the patronag

1 of its back-country customers."Most people who buy in Englan

' think they are very smart, and tha1 they are getting something very muc

■ cheaper than could be obtained in Nei" J Zealand, but I am afraid they are d«

5 ceived in many instances," a big retaiU• said- "They have no guarantee as t

• quality, and though they may have pait less for a particular article than the> would have done had they bought :

J here. I think a comparison with the conr modity offered by New Zealand retaile;, would convince them, very often, tha- they had gone to a lot of trouble witi

out- gaining anything."Foreign Traders Creeping In.

e At the root of the local traders" con- plaint is the feeling that those who bisn abroad are disloyal to the institutioi- which have been built up for their coi

. venience. A business manager point*" out that if the C.O.D. system were 1a be developed to its ultimate end. hu;e dreds of shop assistants and warehou

employees would be thrown out of wor0 the country would lose vast sums.. income tax. there would be an end 'f the construction of new buildings '

house goods intended for sale, and locbodies would lo~e much money by wsof rates. One of the worst featuresthe C.O.D. system, from the retaileipoint of view, was that foreign firn

1 were getting a foothold in New ZealaJper medium of the opportunities

[' offered. A Swiss firm, with a clearii'" house in London, had lately been sendiin goods to the Dominion on tne CO.

svst-em, and goods, moreover, of a d!r scription similar to those manuiactur5 by British firms.

FUTURE OF KIOREROA.

INDUSTRIAL AREA AND PORT.

DISCUSSION IX WEAXGAKEL j

(Br Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) jWSAXGAREI, this day. j

A discussion at tie meeting of the jHigh School Board last evening focussed jattention on the future possibility ofKioreroa as an important port andindustrial and manufacturing centre. Theboard some time ago sold to the Har-bour Board part of its endowment landat Kioreroa. but reserved the oil rights.The Harbour Board now wants this reser-vation lifted in order that the sub- 'division of the area may be facilitated, jThe chairman o: the Harbour Board, jmaking the application last evening.,emphasised that when the new wharfwas completed and the sandstone barn moved. in the near future. Kioreroawould be ideally situated for the pur-poses of a shipping port and manufac-t iring works. Deep water, rail connec- !ton, coal, water, and electricity wouldl>e available. The flat land adjoining thewharf would aiford an ideal site forindustrial works, while the higher landoverlooking the water would make asplendid residential p.---. thus ensuringconveniently situat homes foremployees.

After discussion thv ;>oard asked the'Harbour Board to put its request in 1writing. The desirability of assistingthe development of Kioreroa in everyway possible was fully admitted.

SHOOK THE WINDOWS.

HU.LSBOBO' FIAKSEARTHQUAKE.

810 BLAST ON RAILWAY. ,

It is to be hoped that new« of trie"earthquake', which occurred at West- ifield to-day will not reach Australia and Iaugment New Zealand's reputation ofbeing the "rhaky Island."

Several resident? oi Onehunga andother districts bordering on the ManukauHarbour were alarmed about eleven jo'clock this rr.oming by loud explosion?.'which appeared to come frorq Otahuhn.'

ISo severe were the shock? that they;1 *hook windov. * e\en a« far away as!Hillsboro".

Upon inquiries being, made, the cause ,! of the escitement was found to be the:! blasting of rock in the construction of a

j railway deviation at Westfield. •

I From the spot at Westfield where theblasting took place, to Hillsboro, isseveral miles, even in a straight line, butit is astonishing how far the effects ofa big blast can be felt. Some time agowhen the Harbour Board were blasting ,

the remains of the Western Wharf thatL slipped into the tide, people right round,as far as Mechanics Bay and Parnell jcould not make out where somemysterious shakes and rumbles were jcoming from. At first no mention wa* jmade of the work the Harbour Board iwas doinp. and for a good while no oneeuess-ed the cause. Then it was found

I out that heavy blasting had been earru-dj out under water at the Western Wharf,and the explanation was clear.

DOMAIN" BOARD BUSINESS.The regular meeting of the Mount

\ibert Borough Council held last even-ing. the Mayor >Mr. L. t. Rhodes) pre-siding over a full attendance of council-lors.

When the Domain Board business wasbeing dealt with, Cr. J. H. Laagley drewattention to the nuisance created and thedangers that existed as a result of storkbeing allowed to graze on the Mommgsidereserve. It had come under his noticethat a child had been attacked by onerow. He urged that the agreement to

allow grazing on the reserve be cancelled.The stock were described as a menace tothe public who had occasion to use thereserve.

Cr. Langley's ruggestion was adoptedand it was decided to give the tenant* o:both the Mornmsside and Mount AiDcrtreserves a week m which to remove theirsto--k.

It was reported that the paring revenuefor last year amounted to £46 and — -13had been spent on the reserves. £ I£3aas now available for this purpose.

Cr. G. Buckley advocated that thisamount now be utilised to brine theMormngside area into playing con<Rtior. .

Cr. P. Floyd urged that the money be=pent on both the reserves. If they actedin this manner :t would shoty that thecouncil was not one-sided in its delibera-tions.

At the suggestion of Cr. W. G. Russell,who favoured a general scheme for im-provement of the areas, it was decided todefer the matter in order that itbe discussed at a special meeting of theboard.

Extension of Sewer —The Auckland andSuburban Drainage Board advised that,with reference to the proposed extensionof the branch sewer' No. S. every effortwas being made to expedite the matter.As yet it was impossible to advise tbtcouncil definitely as to when tenders wouldbe invited for the work. Cr. W. E. Rus-sell pointed out that on the occasion ofthe recent heavy rains, portions of Eden-dale were flooded on account of the con-dition of the drains, 'ihis was the thirdmeeting of the council since the loan pro-posals for the work were finalised and theyhad no plans yet. He suggested that th;council protest to the board concern:::;the in the matter. This suggestionwas adopted.

BUSINESS WOMEN.OFFICE GIRLS' LUNCH

They pour out into the streets ofSydney in their thousands at lunch time,tho smart, bright and merry-faced officegirls of the city, and a local paper hasbeen giving them some good advice.

Business girls, smiling their waythrough a day's hard work, would besurprised to learn with how sympatheticattention tho doctors view "their pro-blems.

Doctors have a great deal to say aboutthe quarters with which many businessgirls are provided and of the necessityof wider supervisory powers for localhealth authorities in tho great city.They are inclined to shake their beadssometimes over the shoes and stockingsin which Miss 'Clerk faces wild* wintryweather, but it is the meal questionwhich principally troubles them.

"My difficulty," said a doctor recently,"is how to give the girls sound advicewithout seeming to be impertinent,knowing as I do what brave faces manyof these girls put on hard circumstances.

"I always feel sorry when I go intoan oflice ami see a dozcu girls or bodrinking tea which has stewed until itis almost Mack. There, I think, is apoint on which business girls mighthelp themselves by co-operative action.

"They might Mown pennies,, orwhatever the weekly individual collec-tion amounts to, until whoever makesthe tea promises to send it up as soonas it is tiiiiik, .

Try Milk."But it is the business girl's lunch

that is the problem. Where there reallyis no provision possible but that whichallows of a roll and butter and a cup oftea, thqfe is nothing to say except—trysubstituting milk fur tea.

''Where more outlay is possible, Iwould again ask business girls to remem-ber that milk is a and can profit-ably be included in the mid-day meal.

"Then, let them cut out the dished-upbits of meat and concentrate on egge,salads, cheese, brown bread and fruits.

"I know that there is sometimes diffi-culty in getting these things in theplaces available, but most tea-shops canprovide a bowl of soup and an egg dishone day, a salad bread and cheese,with an apple and a glass of milkanother day.

"These are the lines on which .hard-working, girls should go if they wantto obtain the requisite vigour from theirfood. One last word—let them also notneglect to pass on any sensible food ideasthey pick up to the people at honii- w hoprepare the evening meal."

GARTER-SKIRTS.WOMEN'S FASHIONS

What women will wear this spring wasmore or less decided by the buyers atthe Drapery Exhibition, at the KoyalAgricultural Hall, Islington, London.

The garter-skirt was launched at theexhibition. It solves the problem ofshort, light skirts and summer winds.The fulness is pithered into gurters.which can be worn above or below theknee.

The ekirt somewhat reseinl>lo« thechild's nursery "crawler," and is madefor dancing as well as for sport.

Women buyers were unanimous inliking the new three-piece suit. The coatnow has no sleeves, while the jumper hassleeves, and tin; coat can be dispensedwith at will.

A particularly pretty suit was in redwi'li decorative cuts to show cream. Thejumper and sleeves were cream, heavilyembroidered.

A loose-flowing tie, fastened with nbow under the collar, or tied withrabbits , ears at the side, is making abid for popularity. Scarves of all kindsaccompany the gowns, with or withoutfringe.

The exhibition, which was opened bythe Lord Mayor, Sir Rowland Blades,M.P., is purely a trade show, the publicnot being admitted.

The Lord Mayor declared that it wasessential that women—and men whobought things for women—should l>rencouraged to ask, when shopping, "Airthese British goods?"

AT HOME A"ID ABROAD.Women gained nn important standing

in Berlin, when Frau Stadratin KlaruMeye was chosen to represent the Bur-germeister during his absence, and alsoto act as president of the Board of Magis-trates. Since it occurred in the largestcity in Germany, and it is the first timethat a woman has filled the position ofBurgorineister, the choice was speciallysignificant.

In Egypt, a women's paper, "Egypt-ienne," is endeavouring to restore theold status of women, when as in thetime of the Puaraohs their position wasone of equality. Historians deducethat once married the Egyptian womenof old times enjoyed both personal free-dom and respect. To-day, the positionis otherwise, but modernists arc endeav-ouring to "bring back yesterday." Amongthem is Madame Chcniya Hancn Riaz,who was instrumental in passing thelaw to protect girls from early marriage.

G. B. Stern and her husband are toentertain Noel Coward at their lovelyvilla in Diano Marina. Noel's manyfriends continue to marvel at the outputhe manages to maintain, despite his fre-quent voyagings over the world. Notlong returned from Honolulu, where hehad so wonderful a time that I imagineonly the production of "La Marquise"lured him back to London town, he isnow looking forward with great zest tohis Italian visit. For this ultra-sophisti-cated young man retains an enviableboyishness, and a whole-hearted- care-free capacity for getting the very mostout of life. It is that gift of concentra-tion which enables him to cram so muchintellectual activity into his programme,it is cultivated mainly over morning tea,toast, and honey—in bed. From a nestof cushions, with his breakfast trny onhis knees, he dictates his inspirations.

Of the countless compliments EllenTerry has had paid in her long career,surely one of the most sincerely origi-nal was that of the novelist "CharlesReade: "Whatever she does, grace per-vades the hussy." There is an affec-tionate touch about "hussy" that isirresistible!

GOOD-NIGHT STORIES.

BOBBY MEETS A NEWMEMBER OF THE ZOO.(Told by BLAXCHB SILVER fop

PETER TAX.)"Goodness. I'm mighty glad to meetyou, Mr. Wolverine." cried Bobby, as he

clambered upon the rail to "sec theprisoner behind. "Where in the worlddid von come from V

"I don't mind telling you in theleast," replied Mr. Wolverine. "I camefrom the great forc«ts of the North."

"I've never lived up North, so I guessthat's the reason I'vo never seen one ofyour family before," said Bobbv.

"You wouldn't have seen me" if youhad lived up North," laughed Mr.Wolverine, "for we are very 6hycreatures and keep out of eight most ofthe day. We most always come out insearch of food at night. I was alwaystaught by my mother to fear mm. butsince I've come here to the 7.00 t> liveI've learned to love all mankind. Yousee, up in the Far North the trappersset their traps to catch our neighbours.'So when we find any traps baited wejust eat the bait off. Sometimes weoven eat the animal that is caught, iustas a lesson to the tmppers. You notico,I'm very larpo and strong. There'svery few traps I can't rip up. Somefolks call us gluttons because we eatso much. I guess the name fits allright, for we never get enough to eat.That's another reason I'm glad to livein the zoo here. I get all my meals formyself and wife and don't have to goout and hunt for them."

"I suppose your wife is here withyou," suggested Bobby. Mr. Wolverinenodded his head, gave out a funny,shrill cry and out of a hole in theground came his wife, followed bv threelittle wolverines.

Bobby had never seen so many wolver-ines at once, and he laughed at thecapers of the youngsters.

"How in the world did you happen toget biamght here?" he asked.

,-Xo one to blame but myself," spokeup Mama Wolverine. "He had eaU-njust iihout all he could hold, hut hethought he wanted some more food, m>we started out. Soon we found whoresome trappers had built a log cabin.I'hoy were away from home, so daddvwolverine decided I should hide behindM>mc stones and he'd venture inside the

cabin to src what was there. He gotin all right, but the door blew shut. 1icard him calling and ran to help him.The owners returned and there we wereboth caught. I for one, am very gladof it, for this zoo is a lovely place tolive. Wo get plenty to eat and folksstop and chat with us. They arc notafraid of us when we arc held behindthe bars. There comes our dinner rightnow. Excuse us, Bobby, and well goand eat."

"Sure enough." laughed Bobby. Hewas so excited about talking to the new-comers that he had forgotten it was hi«dinner time, too. So, bidding his newfriend* good-bye, Bobby ran borne. '

FARMERS' BONDS.

THE FIRST ISSUE.

AGRICULTURAL BANK SYSTEM

INTEEEST AT 5J PER CENT,

TOR LONG TERM PERIOD,


DUNEDIN, Tuesday.Finance for farmers was discussed by

•the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. O. J.Ha-wken, in an address to members ofthe Otago Farmers' Union to-day. Hesaid the first issue of bonds under theagricultural banking system would inall probability be of £100 value, theterm being 30 or 36 years, and the rateof interest for the whole period 5i percent. He commended the bonds to thesmall investor, and said he believedthey would become a favourite form ofInvestment.

Some inducement was needed for thepeople to save money, and all shouldfoster the saving habit. In the pastthese securities bad not been, easv toget, and he believed that both

*

thefanners and the people would benefitby gradually building up an in-vestment fund for the use of far-mers, and, perhaps, others. There wasonly one way of making money cheap,and that was to save it. Added pro-duction increased the wealth of thepeople, but if they spent the monevthey would be no better off. The savingof money was a great necessity in NewZealand.

"I believe very strongly in the agri-cultural banking system," eaid Mr. Haw-ken. It was strange that when theAdvances to Settlers Department offeredits first loans it was years before far-mers would take up .the money, althoughit was extremely cheap money at thattime. The Government had to adver-tise to get the farmers to borrow themoney, and it was only in the past fiveor six years that the farmers hadstudied the amortisation or sinkingfund system of paying off debts. It \rasa good thing that they had studied it,as the old system was a bad one. ■ Theshort-dated loan system under which theNew Zealand farmers had borrowedtheir money brought a mass of worrvand trouble.

It was alio a most expensive system.The cost of renewal and of the* docu-ments ■Wμ far too great, and the ajrvi-cnttural "hanking system would un-doubtedly give considerable relief in thatdirection. Even if they had to pay thesame amount of interest, the advantageswould be very great. Hβ believed thesystem would be adopted by farmers inNew Zealand before many years hadpassed. The sinking fund system seemedsound to him. Many years ago localbodies had adopted it, and it wouldsave the farmers a lot of trouble.

"We are only making a start, and Inope it will be a successful start," saidthe Minister. "Not only will it be anadvantage to the farmers, but I believethese bonds will be a popular form ofinvestment in New Zealand."

THE WORLD of SPORTBOWLING.

PLAY IN THE WINTER.

A COMPLIMENT FROM AUSTRALIA,

(By TRUNDLER)B.nvlers are always optimistic, as wit-

ness the fine effort often put up by arink which is twelve down and only twoheads to go. It looks as if they willwant all their optimism to anticipatefire- weather on Friday, but a verv com-forting argument has been put up:As it rained and blew all day last Friday,the law of average requires that theremust be brilliant sunshine next Friday.

Accordingly the tournaments havefilled up very -well, especially as Carltonhave pulled out for this year, in order togive their green a rest. Yesterday, how-ever, there were still two or threevacancies at Dominion Road, .and anyonewho has not yet secured a place couldprobably get in by telephoning thisevening.

The Dominion Road team to playMount Eden for the Edwin Stars onSaturday will comprise: W. Jone?, K.Sessions, B. Ramsey, W. Denison.

Imitation is the Sincerest Flattery.The New South Wales bowlers hare

paid rather a neat compliment to NewZealand, according to recent reports fromthe other side, for they have-adopted ourrule requiring the skip.-to be held re-sponsible for seeing that all bowls playedby the members of his rink are stampedin accordance with: the rules- This rulewas introduced in the Dominion tourna-ment for the first time in Wellington in1925, and has been carried out ever since,but the Auckland centre introduced itin their previous Christmas tournament,doubtless with the knowledge that it wasto be a Dominion rule thereafter. Priorto that time it was .customary- for the.umpire to examine the bowls, bet thenew procedure is now embodied in themodel set of rules .which the DominionCouncil printed tost .year, and several of jthe New South .Wales touring bowlerswere presented with a copy when theywere here in March. It will be" interestingto see if they adopt any more of ourrules, for even this on* instance provesthat they are broad-minded, and thatwhen they see a sound rule, even in alittle place like New Zealand, they arewise, enough to take it up. In thisthey show a pleasant contrast to theattitude taken up recently in a certainpart of New Zealand, where a suggestionwae turned down purely on account ofite source. - If the suggestion is a goodone, it should receive just as much con-sideration if it comes from the bowlingclub at Matamataharakeke or Kau-kapakapa, as it should if it is sponsoredby Wellington or Dunedin. Surely inthis year of grace our bowlers shouldhave got over the old idea: "Can any igood come out of Nazareth?" In factone might go further, and advise theclosest scrutiny of all suggestions, wher-ever they come from. For instance,there is the classic example in thatridiculous new rule, which, if takenliterally, makes it compulsory to followa bowl. Quite a number of bowlers havebeen talking about it, explaining that itis a miss-print. This is incorrect, however,for the alteration from the previouscorrect wording of the rule was broughtin on the strength of a remit from Wel-lington, and the Dominion Council tookit up, apparently accepting the re-putation of its sponsors as sufficientjustification for adopting the newwording.

Drawing the Teat.Reverting to the action of New South

Wales in copying our rule, neither coun-try has yet followed it up .sufficientlyclosely to make its purpose effective, forit is not the mere stamping of a bowlthat matters, but that it should drawthe test. A'ew Zealand bowlers knowfrom experience that these two qualifi-cations are not one and the same,!although they should be, and if half thework over the former was transferred tothe latter, there would be no more"pokers." As the elimination of pokersis the only object of testing.and stamp-ing, ft is very strange that in Australiathey block people from challenging abowl, as a deposit has -to accompany achallenge, whereas a continual struggle« going on with regard to stamping.Just at present a battle royal is ra<Mn~all over Australia in regard to stampingand yet the whole thing is a farce, for aman can play a poker, so long as it isofficials, unle.B his opponent puts up adeposit with a challenge. On the rareoceas.ons when this is done the challenger getß himself disliked 'amongst acertain circle, whereas he ought to«et avote o thanks for exposin/a man" whoseeks to get a personal advantage overgood sports by not "playing the game."People in New Zealand are also reluctantto challenge, but we have got over thatdifficulty by also conferring the rightupon the umpire or any official, and thevought to do it as a matter of protectionto those who scrupulously comply withthe regulations, instead of winking at itand wastingall their effort on the'uselessprovision of stamping. One tremblee totnink what would have happened at thefinals in January, if any of the bowlshad failed t«, draw the test, and someof them were dangerously close. If thevhad failed, a very awkward positionwould have confronted the committeefor all who had been defeated by the•traight bowls would have harboured agrievance against the committee for notcarrying out their own rule empoweringthem to challenge such bowls. It is notmuch use arming the committee withpower to get rid of pokers, the bane ofevery tournament, unless they use thosepowers.

The Annual Meeting.This is one of the many knotty pointswhich could be profitably discussed atthe annual meeting of delegates to thecentre, to be held eome time this month,for if public opinion does not back upthe committee in their effort to get ridof jx>k*rs, the rule might just as wellbe expunged, as it in a bad principal to

retain any rule which it is not intendedU> enforce.

TEMPORARY REDUCTIONSUGGESTED.

CLUB EVENTS REVIEWED

'By RL'BBERCORI-

A very godd entry favoured the Cap-tain's prize at Glendowie, but as onlvthe first round is completed comment inregard to individual matches can bestayed. A good deal has been said ofthe improvement effected in the course.and after a run over it there can beno doubt that the statements are justi-fied. The fairways are immeasurablysuperior to the past, and although itwas not my fortune to be over the courseat its best, there can be no questionthat when properly mown the fairwaysare equal to the best to be met withlocally. Unfortunately trouble with themower prevented ideal conditions forthe week-end, while several of the greens.still far from firm, suffered from thedeluge. Systematic mole draining couldwith benefit still be resorted to, the fair-ways being much on the heavy side. Nodoubt their condition was magnified bythe growth, which heavily retained themoisture. The gullies, however, nowcontain but practically small terrors,and the march of progress for the clubseems definitely assured.

Maungakiekie had two fixtures forits adherents, a four-baller being theevent at Titirangi, while the secondround of the Kingswell Shield held theattention of those at One Tree Hill. Fiveup on the Colonel was the order in thefirst-named event, T. A. Goulding andH. L. Robson, and E. G. Tallis and J.N. Hunter sharing the honours. Gould-ing is always a great help in this typeof event, his length from the tee serv'insrto buoy up his partner. In Robson hewas accompanied bj- one who is quiteassiduous in practice, and one who isgradually effecting permanent improve-ment in his status. It is an open secretthat the erstwhile New Zealand doubleschampion is in moments of leisure moredevoted to his clubs than the racquet.Hunter I should imagine as the main-stay in his combination with Tallis, ashis golf this year has been consistentlygood. TalFis is brilliant rather thansteady, yet merits his handicap moreoften than not. It is stated that H. A.Randrup, who, partnered by -F. S. Bal-lin, and filled the role of runner-up, prac-tically carried his man throughout.This seems rather a herculean task, butspeaking seriously was a very commend-able effort, as four up on one's own parttakes accomplishing. Randrup is play-ing much better than in seasons gone by,and now ranks as one of the most vsefulclub members on his mark. As was tobe expected, R. L. Wilson and H. A.Broadbent combined well. Wilson hitsa really beautiful tee shot, ana \wientime brings home to him full recognitionI of the importance of a straight left armhe will take coping with. Broaaoentranks as a recent recruit who is.quietlvpursuing effective methods. G. Uren andJ. M. Hockin were two to finish three up,

I the former being unable to fill a usefulrole from his handicap of 15. The sym-pathy of golfers goes out to him in "theloss of a canine pal in Patch. A motorcar proved the undoing of this almosthuman pet, whose uncanny intelligenceall Titirangi so much admired, andwhose almost whimsical v-ays willoccupy a spot in memory.

Round the Links.In reviewing events at Titirangi in a

general way, now that the course isshortened on account of the alterations,a temporary reduction of its bogevwould appear justified. A stroke mightbe clipped from the fourteenth, alwaystoo liberal, while from the new tees alike reduction might be effected in thecase of the third and the eleventh holes.Certainly neither of the latter would beeasy to win, but the upshot would be asaving grace for the Colonel, whose nose

.has been rubbed too regularly in theI duet in. recent competitions.

"

Possiblythe lopping of a stroke at the thirdmight be considered equitable. Theposition should, however, be reviewed,otherwise handicaps -must inevitablvreach a level which is not justified.

Turning to One Tree Hill, the bestcard of the day was that of R. M. George,whose round of 75 placed him one up onthe Colonel. This is the best score sofar recorded on the new course in actual

competition the previous best havingbeen the 78 by J. MeUiven. Georcehick,ly escaped the "maximum" penaltyat the third hole, the tee r _ ,t restingpractically on the lip of the* up I, fsubsequent round he lowered his'fibresto 73, taking 36 and 37 respectivelyfor the halves. The course bein£ in K oodorder jt wae expected that a nnmber ofcards m advance of bogey would behanded in, but the fact of the boeevbeing rather tight is no doubt the reasonfor the scoring not appearing in a moreavourable light. Added to this, consider-able care is necessary over the first ninethe greens not being conducive to lowscoring. Actually the next best cardswere those of twodown from J. M. Elliffewho is generally fairly consistent, and a'i. Duncan, with a handicau of 15. Dr. Mac-kenzie, in a report which he has recentlyfurnished, characterises the general lay-out of the course as eminently satisfietory, while the views he'considersunsurpassed. It is a compliment toClements as professional ns it is to theOreena Committee neuociatrcl w jt j, njmthat their work should receive such com-mendation. The now mowers are alreadyworking wonderi, and the drawback ofth« eourae in the future promisee to lie

in the direction of its popularity. Herethe youthtul element is being encouraged,a lad whose appearance suggests birth ina sunny clime having won thn caddy'smatch most convincingly at the week-end. It , s stated his scores generallyaverage under 40 for the eight opening|bole«. which is frequently better than hi<J masters achieve. A rather picturesqueI version was offered at my visit on Satur-I'lay. my caddy confiding he had reachedItlia finals, but that as he chose to termlit "then jrbt towelled/' Inquiry elicitedjthat his opponent had won the" first fivei holes, s>nd as the match enn-isted of! l'Ut eight, his expression was certainly

j A good type r,f event, a foursome medalcompetition, was provided at Middlenmre.|L. \V. Delph and A. J. Friedlander being■the successful pair. Their card of M —

! 10—il was two strokes clear uf the; field, second place being occupied byIT. (J. Kissling partnered by the club■captain, S. J. Hanna. In the main theresults show the scoring to tie of aneven nature, five pairs linishing within73 nett. Del[ih further enchanted hisseason's record, and with the capabilityhe displayed over the final half in therecent inter-club it U not difficult toj foresee elevation in his status.

j Pukekohe Field Day.; Pukekche had quite a field day. and[it is interesting to note a Lr <><>d sprinklingof match play in the dub fixtures. Inthe qualifying round for the vice-presi-dent's trophies.

At Everslie J. Dykes' nett score* of•52 annexed the medal competition, V.Goddard with SC, and S. D. Rice and C.Milne following with SS. The name ofC. Waddell is noted associated with thescore of 07, which is a link in memoriesof old One Tree Hill davs.

Tauranga i« progressive in availingitself of the offer of the Golf Council ofa coach, whose services should prove ofinestimable benefit to members. A sport-ing member of the club has donated achampionship cup and miniature, theaction being one to be applauded.

Papakura were engaged in an inter-club with Otahuhu, but though the mainstrength of the latter was not calledupon its second team was too strongfor the visitors.

So much has been written of H. B.Lusk's wonderful score over Arikikapa-kapa that a further tribute to the abilityof a golfing warrior is likely to havebecome dulled. Perhaps, however, thisaspect has not been Touched on, thatof it being his intention to try to smashthe record, and its achievement. TheAuckland champion has a great recordin the game, and for that matter in allgames in which he has chosen to takean active interest. As an '"observation"he will probably journey to Rotorua inthe future, purely in the holiday spirit,as to seriously attempt to lower hisrecord would entail too rigid observances.Records seemed to have been assailedall of a heap at the week-end, X. Belljoining in the quest. His 71 over St.Andrew's, Hamilton, is a magnificentscore, but in accepting it as a record 1am unable to class it as superior toSloan Morpeth's t>o compiled before his

iretirement from the game.

COMING EVENTS

Jnae 4. — T2-m;]e Srni.-.r Handicap.June 4.—5;-nji;v Junior Handicap. Manger-!

On Labour Day. IP2-1, a quiot andreserved youth. Le« Wilson, entered theamateur cycle ranks. Biding in thefirst senior race of the day he had themisfortune to puncture and on aborrowed machine came to grief in theBest event. I think it was in the two-mile event that the latter accidentoccurred. Riding in every race promotedoff various handicaps he met withmarked success and better luck. Intwo instances he had been placed in mileraces, ridden in the remarkable time of2.21. On Labour Day. a year later, lie"scooped the pool"' by annexing Imth thesenior races by about a quarter of a lapeach. He became more popular witheach day's sport through his clean andunselfish riding. Onct, on the occasionof an exceptionally long tour a party ofcyclists would have undoubtedly com-pleted the rest of the journey by trainhad it not been for the indomitablespirit of this enthusiast. Since the in-auguration of the Manukau Cycle Clubie has attended every meeting andridden in every race but one. At thefirst annual meeting he was unanimouslynominated secretary of the club, anappointment -which he still holds andUndoubtedly will continue to occupy.

Wilson proved too hard a propositionfor the rest of the field in Saturday'sthirty-three mile event.. This is thefirst important race of the season, andnot only did "Les." cro>s the line firstbut he also gained fastest time at anaverage speed of about 21.3 miles anhour. Continually at the head of abunch he -would sprint often, giving therest of the field no quarter. The heartvcheer that went up as he won the racewas doubled when it was announcedthat he had also won the coveted fastesttime honour. Wilson is the only cyclistin Auckland who has won two roadraces and gained fastest time on eachoccasion. T extend to him my sincerecongratulations.

The Senior Race.Proraig the popularity of long dis-

tance, races, thirty-three riders lined upfor the Manuka Club's six-lap event.This number is considerably smallerthan that of the entries -received, butnevertheless it is a wonderful one fortbe first long race of the season Aquartet of riders started off the limit,and Byrnes, the scratch man, set outoh a lone ride twelve minutes later. Attie completion of eleven*miles the leadwas held by Heron and Dickey (12m),Davies (10m) then led a bunch of adozen or so, followed by a group ofnine, with Botteral (9m) in charge.The four-minute men, Matheson. Keith,Howe and Baker showed up well aheadof Galbraith and H. Dwight (2m), withChambers, who had forfeited 2m 30s ofhis start, in between. Byrnes, ridingeasily, was holding his own. Gains-brough and two others punctured duringthis lap. Four laps found two distinctbunches riding hard thirty-four, secondsapart. Davies piloted the' first division,with Wilson dragging the second groupalong in great style. Wade (late juniorchampion) at this stage retired. It wasevident here that Wilson, with his co-marker, A. G. Baird. both riding well,were in a good position for time honours.Keith Eowe appeared with Mathesonand Baker in good fettle, but not get-ting any nearer tbe front. Galbraithled Dwight, and finally Bjrnes, still rid-ing- unpaced, went past. The first manpast the post at twenty-eight miles wasWilson. Dwight, W.. and Grant wereIds nearest attendants, with - ' Davies/Platt, Deakin and Taylor bunched be-Mnd. J. C. Stewart ,rode past severalseconds later, and a few stragglers with-drew. The''.fonT minute markers hadlost grouncT and had little hope of get-ting up. Dwight led Galbraitt, andthese two were riding hard for time.Byrnes was holding his own with thelatter pair. 'Spectators at the finishingpost were keenly sorting out tlie pro-bable winner and fastest time man.

The first rider to put in an np]>oar-anee "was Wilson with h lrtnch clo-e onbis wheels. Coming away vritlj a fineburst of speed. Les passed tlie post aelear length ahead of \J. C. Stewart,who filled second place, while Taylorand Davies had a good tussle for thirdplace, the last-named getting there byindies. Deakin. Platt and A. O. Bairdfinished fifth, sixth and seventh respec-tively. The nest sprint of note wasbetween Galbraith and Dwight, theformer drew out from his co-marker, b-.ithe was not to be denied, and challenged•o hard that Galbraith Tvas all out to"win by inches. The scratch man rode asterling race from start to finish alone,and he seemed in a wonderfully freshcondition at the conclusion of the race.The fastest tithe was that of Wilson92.57, the oaly official time announced.The writer was given the other timesas follow:—Baird Ihr 33m 4 3s>s. Gal-braith Ihr 33m 16 l-ss. H. Dwight Ihr33m 16 2-sb, Byrnes llir 33m !»?=. The--ecan in no way be regarded as official,as they were off a private watch.

The Junior Race.In coincidence with the senior race

the junior "scamper , found the fastesttime rider-gain first place. Five lads

Hurned the corner in a bunch, and in• spirited sprint Steen (30) beat Pinker(lm) by a narrow margin. Aldred (lm)Chmg (30s) and Constable (1-45) jfinished5n that order, a length of a cycle separat-ing the last three competitors, who

■were two lengths behind the winners.In the report in the evening's sportedition it was stated, that Aldred. start-ing off 30s, had gained second -fastesttime. This is incorrect, as second timeBonours fell to Ching, "who was a co-anrker of the winner. Aldred started

oil cue minute and not thirty seconds.Fastest time was 14-47, while thing was3-.-> of a second slower. The speed oithe junior is absolutely astonishing.The sprint from the corner is about--Wy&> long, and the way in which Ser-rombe. Foubister. and *G. Rose, thescratch trio finished, would do creditto a number of our seniors. Althoughthis trio finished in the above orderthey were four seconds out of fastesttime.

Comments on Riders.■T. C. Stewart, placed second, is atpresent one of our most capable middle-

markers, and of late has always beenamongst the first six riders to finish.He had the misfortune to slip his chainbut on remounting gamely made up thelost ground. The chain of another riderA. G. Baird. second fastest time, alsocame off. But for this be would havebeen closer up in the finishing list, forat the time he was riding faultlessly.As the result of last Saturday's acci-dent. H. Brev.in had to visit the >ceucof the race in his car with a pair r.icrutches as luggage. A badly cut anklewas the injury received, and' he is vervdepressed, as it wil] prevent him froiiicompeting for a few months. Thtfavourite green jersey of Frank Caseyhas been conspicuous by its absence fo'rtwo consecutive races.

As stated, Mai Byrnes made wonderfultime for an unpaged rider, and wherejudgment is required "tMrrnes is at hi-best. Hi> ride un Saturday is, in m\opinion, his best road performsmt todate.

, Two riders who arc proving to !«.• ofexceptional merit arc M. Taylor anu uDeakin. who gained fourth and fifthplaces. They are both of good build, andwith n:ore experience should be amongstthe winners shortlv.

Sercoinbe. who led his co-markers homein a vain attempt at time honours, is astrong and powerful rider who seemsto improve with each race. It is to behoped, however, that he will not overdothing> and "burn himself out"' as otherjunior champions ha\e appeared to do.St-een. Aldred and Pinker are threejunior? who have been very Consistentof late. The first-named created quitea k»t of comment by hi> dual win.Another rider that attracted notice wasC. Cons-table, who very last infifth pla<-e. He is always, to be "seen wellup. but so far has l>eeii unsuccessful ingaining a place, mainly owing to lackof judgment.

HARMFUL CRITICISM.

A.FJL CLEARS ITSELF

HARMONY WITH OTHER CODF.S

At the meeting of the A.F.A. !Manage-ment Committee last night, strong excep-tion was taken to a newspaper attachmade in the name of the Soccer code onthe Rugby code, which it was stated wascalculated to do serious injury to the jcode and place the A.F.A. in a false light'in the eyes of the public

Tbe article dealt with the address ofwelcome of Mr. Yarney, chairman of theX.Z.F.A., to the Canadians, in which hespoke of the support the code had re-ceived from other sports bodies in thewar of avoiding the clash of dates.

Mr. Fullbrook, Northeot*, raised thematter, and stated that the code badsuffered seriously through the impression ,created by the newspaper article inquestion. '■

The chairman said he was very.pleasedto have the opportunity of correctingthe impression created. He emphaticallystated that the A.F.A. dissociated itself'entirely with the article in question. He ;referred to "the deep debt of gratitudeSoccer owed to League, Rugby and ■hockey. All codes had rendered many)kindnesses to Soccer, which Soccer hoped \to be able to reciprocate. All Soccer jwanted was equal facilities with other \codes and to work in harmony withthem. The N.Z.F.A. joined issue with ;Rugby and League in their triumphs,and hoped the day would come whenK.Z. Soccer would occupy a similar posi-tion in its code.

In conclusion he again refuted thesentiments expressed in the article inquestion.

The old Martian gelding Vagabond, isamong the entries for the Napier ParkWinter meeting.

King Emerald sprinted si* furlong:*very pleasingly at Ellerslie on Tuesdaymorning. He is to take on open companyin the luture, but, nevertheless, he canbe expected to give a good showing, furhe has plenty of pace.

A. Morrow has Wyoming lookingbetter than he has ever been, while thebay gelding has also been working inimproved style. Should he fail to showup in his engagements at Ellerslio dur-ing the meeting, it will not be for luckof condition.

Welkne appeared to handle the heavyground quite satisfactorily when in-dulged in a half-mile sprint ;.isterdaymorning. Tlie big bay gelding has donemost of his racing when the tracks havebeen hard, and it will !«■ interestingto see how he fares on a heavy course.

It the going at EUerslie does notimprove, and is still heavy at race time,the chances are that Llewellyn will notcompete at the meeting. Hie trainer,P. Conway, does not intend to risk hishorse in bad ground, and will reservehim for the tirand National meeting atChristchuich.

•Enare jumped four schooling hurdlesyesterday at Ellerslie in such manner aspoints to the chestnut gelding being hardto dispose of in minor jumping events atthe meeting. He has previously racedwell in heavy ground, for he dead-heatedwith Rangi Saito on the Feilding courselast September, in a hack hurdle event.

Tall Timber gave a much improvedshowing over hurdles on Monday last atEllerslie, when schooled on the courseproper over four fences. He is up againsta number of seasoned hurdles in hisracee at the coming meeting, but judgingby his latest display he should be cap-able of giving a good account of himself.

Delightment is looking in great fettle,and pleased by the manner in which hestrode over six furlongs yesterday atheadquarters. The Catmint horse" haswon seven races this season, and withone exception these were all run in heavyground, therefore, he will he in hiselement at Ellerslie during the wintermeeting.

The divisions of the Members' Hnndi-cap. to he run on the first day of theAuckland winter meeting, will 'form theseventh and eighth races. The totalis-ator will be open on both of them, asthe programme only provides for sevenevents, and the club is entitled to open iton eight races, the division providingthat number.

Gala Day has been goihg in improvedfashion on the training track, but theson of Quin Abbey is not as forward ascould be wished. He has only been upa short time, and waa very big in con-dition when he commenced work after aepell extending over several months. Hewill probably require a few races beforebeing at his best again.

Oration and Royal Mint have put inan appearance at "Ellerslie to fulfil en-gagements at the winter meeting.Oration shaped well in a efx-furloiipgallop yesterday, when he appeared togo better in the heavy ground than hehas previously done. Ifc is in greatcondition at the present time.

Mount Marta is on hand to fulfil en-gagements at Ellerslie. He has beenpaid up for in both the big jumpingevents, and is also nominated for theWinter Steeplechase on the concludingday. At the recent Wanganui meetingMount Marta won a hack hurdle race ingood style, but ho has yet to make hisappearance over the big fences.

Black Cruiser was allotted strongwork on the No. 2 prass yesterday morn-ing at EUerslie. The AH Black geldinglooks to be nice and solid and workedfreely. He has not won a race sincecapturing the Tiri High Weight Handi-cap at tho Takapuna spring meeting, butis among the field down to compete inthe Members' Handicap next Friday.

Harbour View was brought across toEllerslie yesterday morning and sprintedfairly well over four furlongs. Thishorse looks greatly improved in condi-tion, and is partial to heavy ground, forhe won at the Avondale meeting in softgoing. The horses he will be meeting atthe winter fixture are a decidedly betterclass than those that competed againsthim when he won at Avondale.

Nadarino has been brought to Ellerslieto fulfil engagements at the winter meet-ing. At the Great Northern fixture lastyear, Nadarino won the Members' Han-dicap, carrying 8.9, and he is engaged inthe same race this week with 8.6. Sincewinning at Auckland a year ago, Nadar-ino has only scored on one occasion,and that was when he annexed theStewards' Handicap, six furlongs, at theWairarapa autumn meeting.

Indian Sage, who has arrived at El-lerslie to compete at the Great Northernmeeting, was a very useful three-year-old last season, winding up with twowins, one at the Wellington autumnmeeting (the Muritai Handicap, onemile), and the other at the Wellingtonwinter meeting (Stewards' Handicap, sixfurlongs). This season he has only wonone race, the Ling Memorial Handicap,one mile and a quarter, at Otaki, inwhich he beat Shining Armour, Nukumaiand others.

Ramblin' Kid, who is among the recentarrivals at Ellerslie, was a starter oneach day at the last Waikato meetine,-and ran third on each occasion. On theand Bright Dawn, and on the secondday occupied a similar position to RedComet and Royal Doulton. Ramblin'Kid is engaged in the Hunt Club Hurdleson the first day, while on the secondhe is entered for the Hunt Club Cup(Steeples) and the Carbine Plate. Onthe concluding day he has been nomin-ated for the Orakei Hurdles. "

C. Brown will ride Income and ArchQueen at Ellcrslie.

The Pukumnjra Hunt Club has decidedthat the programme for their race meet-ing, to be held at EHerMie on Saturday,August 20, will be exactly the same usla-t vear.

Yoma is reported to have done wellsince he won a double at the Hawerameeting, nnd he has many southernfriends for the Cornwall Handicap. Hewill be ridden bv A. McCorinac.

Miinpani. who forms one of 1". Luonib'steam for the (Jrent Northern meeting,i< a four-year-old by Day Comet from aManiupoto mare. He only commencedracing at the recent Waikato meeting.

Wuioeku .lack, who i< I'lijsijied in theGruenlaiie Steeplechase, is one ofC. Morse's U-a.ni. He has proved him-self to be a pretty fair performer onthe tlat and over hurdles, but lie lias notyet to make his appearance over ?-tecples.

Comet Kinir did not impress whenschooled nver hurdles just recently onthe course proper. He will need to im-prove in his jumping to have a showa moil j: the hurdlers ;it the coming meet-ing, for there arc some promising horse*eiifra«;rd

Master Domi has been petting througha sound preparation, and the Lncullnsgelding may show up in his engagementsat the meeting. He will he well suitedby the heavy going, and will not lacksupport in whatcve: e\enl he i> -et tocontest.

Dick has been petting throupli a lotof solid work on the flat since he arrivedat headquarters. The little Glutenpeldinp has not been tried o\er fenceswhile he has Iteei: at F.llerslie. but toomuch notice need not be taken of thatfact, for it ha< happened bo fore con-cerning Dick in his preparation forsteeplechase events here.

Ludy Desmond bruised her shoulderbefore leaving Hawera for the AucklandEaster meeting. The injury yielded totreatment, and the filly ran a fair racein the St. but showed surpris-ingly poor form on the second day. Theinjury manifested itself ajrain. and a fewdays apo a larpe quantity of congealedblood was taken from the wound.

Lord Star was second in the CornwallHandicap last year with S.-2. In theforthcoming event he is weighted at 8.8.and with that impost he is sure to havesupport, for he has run well recently.He put up * really pood performance atthe Avondale meeting, when he won theAutumn Hundicap, one mile, beatinp agood field. He should be bettor suitedby the longer distance of the CornwallHandicap.

LOWER STILL.

INFANTILE MORTALITY RATE.

FINE RECORD MAINTAINED.

UNEQUALLED IN THE WORLD,

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)WELLINGTON", Tuesday.

The infantile mortality rate in NewZealand in 1926 was again the lowest enrecord. Children under one year of agedied at the rate of 3ft.7»> per 1000 births.In 19-4 the rate was 40.23, and in 1925it was 39.9i>. Kai-h was a recoid lowrale. In 1020 the rate was 50.57.

New Zealand still has by far the lowestrate of infantile mortality in the world.The rates per 1000 births for the latestavailable five years for various countriesare:—New Zealand, 41; Norway, 56;Australia, SS; Sweden, t>o; Netherlands,U4; Irish Free State, 70; Switzerland,70; South Africa, 71; England-Wales,7l>; United States, 77: Northern Ire-land, 82; Canada, S4; Denmark, So;Scotland, 90; Frame, 94; Belgium, 102;Germany, 122; Italy, 132; Japan, 158;Hungary, IS9; Ceylon, l'JO; Rumania,209; Chile, 2titi.

The rate in 1926 would have been stilllower had it not been for the epidemicof whooping cough which occurred lastyear, and caused the deaths of a numberof children who had got past the danger-ous first month of life. The rate for thefirst month of life, 25.46 per 1000 births,shows a continuation of the fall whichhas been recorded in this rate during thelast few years—since, it may be noted,the establishment of public ante-natalclinics. The indications are that theseclinics and other steps being taken to-ward ensuring healthy babies being bornare already meeting with some measureof success.

The statement published in Christ-church that Mr. W. Scott, employers' re-presentative on the Arbitration Court, isresigning is declared by Sir. Scott him-self in a statement made to-day to lie"somewhat premature."

"It is true," says Mr. Scott, "that Ishall be retiring shortly from the Court,but not on account of failing health andadvancing years. I have never been inbetter health. I have been connectedwith the Court for 30 years, 12 as ad-vocate and 18 as member of the Court.When I retire it will be owin<* to thecontinued travelling, of which I am get-ting tired, and to take up a position inWellington which will give me morehome life."

SNOWED UNDER

WITH WINNERS' GOOD WORK

ABOUT OUR STALL.

Dear Boys and Girls,—Every week I find more and more people going in for the competi-

tion*. This time I've been simply snowed under. You can imagine what atime I've had judging them all.

I wnt especially pleased with the attempts you made at the —nationcompetition. The three winning lists had every word right, while I noticedthat most of the work was neatly written and in ink. Below you will seefor yourselves the winning Jiggles. Don't forget to use Indian ink nexttime, if you would like your drawings published. Should you not possessa pot already, you will find it profitable to invest in one at once, as thereis going to be a Jiggle every week for some time to come.

The entries for Competitions 23 and 24 (the best contributions to ourstall) are coming in now thick and fast. Opening all these excitingparcels almost makes me feel as if I'm having a birthday. It certainlylooked that way this morning when I came in and saw what the Pitmanhad brought. If I receive as many entries for this as 1 have for No. 20Competition, I can see our stall groaning under its weight of good things.

Some of you, I notice, are contributing sauce, chutney, and pots ofjam. This is a wise move, for such i' 'wares invariably find ready pur- yST) *S\TrVSf^^^^chasers. Later on, when the Fair is fnjLvery close indeed, you may send in OASr^*0

produce, such as eggs, cabbages and V/^^*~,^

fruit. Sweets and. candy are wel- -"**^

come any time now.

No. 28 COMPETITION

Try to guess the names of the bookswhich these children were supposed torepresent.

A little while ago one of my friendsasked me to a party to celebrate histwelth birthday, When he was invitingme hie last words were, "Don't forgetthat it's a book evening—everyone hasto come representing some book or other;then you all have to guess what theothers are meant to represent."

The day before the party I found thatthe battery of my electric torch hadrun out. This solved my problem atonce; it was all I needed to representthe book I had in mind. Can you guesswhat it was? (No. 1).

When I arrived 1 found one little girlthere already, carrying two baby dollsof simp to represent her book. (No. 2).

Number 3 had cut out a dark horse'shead from a magazine illustration. Thiswas so easy that I gueeesd it at once.

One lazy boy had simply scribbled ona pieco of paper the words "Open Se-same." (No. 4).

The next person to arrive was a littlegirl who said she could not draw, andhad just written on her label 1925. Tooeasy, this, but they didn't see it becausethey couldn't realise that it was so Jongago. (Xo. 5).

Another girt pinned on her dress two'photographs, one of her baby brother andone of her grandfather. (No. (i).

Number 7 had pasted on a piece ofcardboard some pictures cut out of abook oo animals. The pictures repre-sented a kangaroo, wallaby, platypus,dingo, laughing jackass, opossum, andwombat. This was such an easy onethat nearly everyone guessed it.

A boy had a scrap of paper, evidentlytorn from a larger piece, on which a wordhad been written, for the edge of sixletters appeared. The first one seemedto be a B and the last a D. (No. 8).

One girl wrote on her card the words,"Everyliodjfs favourite." There wasn'tone child in the room who couldn't guessthis. (No. 9).

No. 10 brought two snails on a cab-bage leaf, while his brother (No. 11)simply stained his nose red withcochineal.

Two little sisters arrived hand in hand,dressed up in their mother's dreeac*and hats. (No. 12). This was easy.

No. 13 had drawn a kennel on his card,and a notice, "For Sale—Apply Within—£5000."

No. 14 was a boy who wore one boxingglove and pretended to spar with animaginary opponent.

Another boy came with his father'sfishingrod and tackle all complete. (No.15). He represented an old book, writtenmany years ago.

One little girl gang all the time, butkept always to the same two songs—"flood King Wenceslas," and "Hark theHerald Angels Sing." (No. 10).

Two more boys, twin brothers, hadbrought an old fur of their mother's anda muff to match. To these they hadattached price tickets, and went roundoffering to sell them for sixpence each,or to barter them for various possessionsbelonging to the others. (No. 17).

No. 18, a girl clever at drawing, hadmade a picture of a men sitting up inhis bunk and looking at the sea througha porthole. Underneath the bunk ap-peared a trunk labelled "Thomas Jones."She had entitled the picture "Uncle'sTrip Abroad."

AN URGENT CALL.

IS YOUR CONTRIBUTION ON ITS WAY ?

A CONFIDENCE BASED ON TRUST

S.O.S. says the 6rst headline, but it is not that awe-inspiring callsent out by ship* in distress, but -vill be read by all loyal PETER PANreaders as Supply Our Stall. We have undertaken to supply sufficientgoods to stock a stall at Rev. Jasper Calder's All Auckland Fair for threedays and three nights, and this, 1 (eel sure, we can do with the loyal helpof all my readers. It it s big undertaking, but, knowing that all will dotheir best, I feel safe in the con6dence that is horn of previous proof of theresponse of the 5000 odd boys and girls who follow these pages week byweek.

Already the parcels are mounting up, and "the garden seems to bequite rosy," but let me again say.that we positively can't have too muchor too many goods. In my weekly letter appearing elsewhere 1 havementioned some of the goods that have been received, but besides thosemany parcels of beautiful handy work and goods of all descriptions arearriving daily.

Writing in his official organ, the "Drifter," Mr. Calder says: "Itbehoves us all to speed up and put our best foot forward, so that every-thing will go with • good swing. lam hopeful that with anything likedecent luck we shall clear over £1000 on the four nights

"At present we have no real knowledge of how much stuff we shallhave, but as many ol our outside helpers are experienced hands at bazaarwork, we have every confidence that they will give help when toe timearrives."

Mr. Calder's trust cannot be broken, and at least he can know thatthe Peter Pan Club of the "Auckland Star" will not let him down.

I realise that many of you are canvassing friends for parcels, and so Iam going to give a prize of 10/ to the boy or girl who sends us the biggestand beat parcel of goods for our stall. PETER PAN.

THE RED GRIP.By COLONEL HENRY CURTIES.Author of "The Carnation Club," "Love

and the Law;" "Sybil's Tryst," etc.

CHAPTER. XXlll.—Continued.Maris caught the eye of Madame Brun,

who was delightedly watching her grow-ing friendship with the English lord audwondering how : she could turn it- to themost profitable account in their presentventure. She had been, up to then,occupied in wondering whether the largenumber of false notes she carried couldbe safely smuggled into France, but shehad come to the conclusion that theycould be, as they were mostly secretedin the most natural manner about herperson.

Certainly, Maris found it delightfulto be gliding through the smooth sunlitwater in such pleasant companionship;she began to forget the causes which hadbrought her there and to give herself upto the pleasure of the moment.

But amid it all, Verner's face wouldarise and reproach her, and sjje knewthat if she came to ill it would be theresult of breaking her word to him.

But now with the bright sunlight andthe novelty iii store for "her in seeingFrance for the first time she was in-clined to forget her troubles.

Lord Barstone was used sea, audconfided to her that he possessed "anold boat," which, was really a luxurioussteam yaeht. He had that easy, inter-esting knack of imparting a "great ,deal.pfivery entertaining- information, in

conversation,' a gift "not ownedl>ylmany.'

There was not a ship which came'insight that, he had not something to sayabout; her nationality, her tonnage,'andwhat possible cargo she carried. ;

But the short passage was soon over,and Maris saw France for the first time.

"You are going on to Paris?". LordBarstone asked as they moved towardsthe gangway of the ship.

Maris knew that was their first stop-ping place.

/.Yes," she answered, "we are stoppinga few days in Paris."

"If you have no coupe engaged," lieproceeded after a pause, "I should bemuch honoured if you and your friendwould •hare mine with me.""

Yes,« the idea seemed 'delightf il— tomake the journey in such pleasant com-pany. - She knew -that her new friendwould tell her many things whicli wouldbe good for her to know on ber firstjourney abroad.

Brun was delighted and bustled aboutto get the light baggage ashore arid intottte Custom House as soon as possible<b£S Mfrs? for the first time> ■««•«'teepite the protecting arm of Lord■» experienced the crush tud

babble of a foreign Custom House. Sheno longer wondered that her country-women wore such* dowdy clothes on theirjourneys abroad.

But at last they were through."I'm thankful that's over," remarked

her new friend as he led the way to thetrain. i-Xow, at any rate, we shall havea peaceful time till we get to Paris."

in a very few minutes they were intheir coupe, with a prospect of tea beingserved very shortly from the restaurant

"This is one of the most interestingparts of France,"' Lord Barstoneremarked as the train moved off. '-Iwill show you as we go along some ofthe worst parts of the German advanceof the spring of 1918, which so nearlysucceeded.

"But for the moment look at the coun-try. Does it not remind you of thefields we have just left in England?That is a momento of our long occupa-tion of these parts in the Middle Ages."The run to Paris proved to be a° de-lightful trip ta Maris. But as theyneared* Abbeville her pleasure came toan abrupt ending. Brun came into thecorridor ontside their coupe and beckonedher out. .

Burn was as white as. a sheetand obviously greatly distressed."Oh, madame," she said, "I have seensomething terrible!"3hat is it?" asked Maris anxiouslv.Madame Brun gulped down a half soboetore she answered.Ihe chief of the Paris secret policeis in this car and he has recognised me!"Ibis was the worst that Maris hadfeared, and it shocked her

"Did he speak to you?" Maris asked.ies, he demanded to.know what Iwas doing in France.""And what did you say*""I told him," proceeded Brun, "thatIZ*L. i1 °f » lady as maid,w"t '•

me at ouee who thc lad y"And did you tell him?" Maris askedanxiously..

les, madame, I told him. I thoughtit was better to do so. I told him 1was in the service of thc Princess deCalvario.""What did he say?""Your Excellency/, Brun answered,greatly agitated, "he waited until theconductor came for your tickets andthe door of your was open, andhe looked over the shoulder of the manat you and Milor! You evidently didnot see him.""No," answered Maris, "I did notnotice him.""When he had seen you." proceededBrun, "he came back to me. 'Is thatnot Monsieur with your mistress, Milor

Barstone?' he asked. 'I told him itwas, and he seemed quite satisfied. Hetold me to be careful and went awav."

"But," asked Maris, has he the rightto make these demands upon you?"Claris realised "from the change inBryn's face that she had made anothermistake.

Brun shrugged her shoulders."You will understand, your Excel-

lency," she answered, "that there liuvel>een in times past com plications, betweenme and the French police."

And Maris eoulc not help wonderingwhat those complications were.

It was quite evident to" her that illthis fraudulent expedition she and.Madam Brun were treading on very thinice.

She went back to the eoupu andaccepted a cigarette from Lord Bar-stone.

She realised at once why Brun badbeen so anxious for her to eultvate theacquaintance of this English peer. Hisvery society meant security. It wasquite clear that the Chief i.f Police hadbeen satisfied when he had seen her inthe company '■• a diplomat whose namewas known all over Europe.

But how was all this going to end?That was what distressed Maris.Sitting opposite to the English peer

and listening to his interesting talk ofthe country they were passing through,Maris could hardly believe it possiblethat she was embarked on an expeditionof swindling. Bmn's terror at thequestions of the Chief of Police addedgreatly to her misgivings.

"And when you leave Paris," askedLord Barstone. after a pause, "'whereare you going?"

His unexpected question confused her."I hardly know at present,', slip

answered. "It will depend very muchupon circumstances in Paris. I had someidea of going to the Riviera later."

He seemed very interested."Then it is quite possible," he

answered, and there was a look ofpleasure in his eyes, "that we may meetagain. I generally finish up my littleholiday tour »;t this time of the yearwith a week or two at Monte Carlo."'

"Monte Carlo!" repeated Maris in-voluntarily. It seemed that fate waspursuing her even there.

The train drew into those long, un-interesting lamp-lit tunnels at last, andMaris had her first glimpse of Paris.

Lord Barstone, having ascertained thatMaris was staying at the Continental?saw her and her attendant into a taxiand the two went their different ways.

CHAPTER XXIV.The next morning Mali* and Madame

Brun had hardly settled into their newquarters when the former received asurprise. A card was brought to herjust as she was going out to explorePalis for the first time.

It was a plain card, simply with aname unon it:

"Bertrand Duniont.' ,

She' wondered who Bertrand' buniontcould be, but in a moment he appearedbefore her; a little unpretentious, grey-headed man with what .Maris afterwardsknew was the rosette of the Legion ofHonour in his button-hole. He waitedfor tnc man to leave the room and htensaid in very good English;

"Madame is no doubt surprised toreceive the visit of a stranger, but Iam the Chief of the l'aris Police, theSureto."

.Mali* nailed to her aid all the forti-tude siic I'utilil and pointed to a chair.

'"Madame,"' lie continued, a? lie tookit, "my visit concerns your lady'smaid."'

Maria inclined her head and waited forhim to «o on.

"Would your excellency be kindenough to tell mo." he proceeded, "whereyou engaged her?"

Maris was totally unprepared for thequestion, Init she answered:

"In London.''" And you received good refercnov

with her?', lie continued."Yes; excellent." was the reply.Now it so nappened that Madame

Brim had to a certain extent preparedher for such questions, She had toldher to say if the question arose thatshe had been in the service of an Italiancountess, who had gone back to Italv.

"Will you kindly tell me," proceededthe police chief, "what was the coun-tess' name?"

That. too. had been provided by thethoughtful Madame Brun.

"The Countess di Valora." Marisreplied promptly with an inward reser-vation tnat she might k> forgiven forthese lies.

Monsieur Dunioiit appeared quitesatislied.

"Many thanks, your excellency," hesaid. 'I (rust you will find your maidhonest and reliable. There is no reasonwhy she should not bo. She has had herlesson: I think she has prolited by it."

''Will you tell me what the lessonwas "' Maiis began.

The chief held up his hand.'•Madame," lie said. "1 would willingly

tell you if my position allowed of it.But. remember, mine is a situation oftrust. We are never allowed to disclosedetails of the cases which pass throughonr hands."

The cliief made Maris a low bow.replaced his note hook in his pocket andwent down the corridor with a smileupon his lips.

He had seen the passport of the"Princess de I'alvarie." It was in per-fect order. And also had she not arrivedin Paris with one of the best knownand richest —and, therefore, most re-spected—diplomatists in Europe?

The mind of the chief was perfectlyat rest; for once, despite his wonderfulastuteness and a fair warning, he hadlet one of the worst Soviet plots slipthrough his fingers to wreak havoc onFrench trade.

The first intimation that Maris hadthat Madame Brun was at work wasthe arrival at the hotel of some lovelyfurs from a shop in tiie Rue de la Paix.These were of such a splendid descrip-tion that Maris thought them fit for aduchess.

But they disappeared as soon as theyarrived, and Maris could not but con-jecture that they were being sent outof tne country.

Then diamond necklaces and otherornaments which to Maris appeared tobe of fabulous value appeared and dis-appeared too. She had nothing to dowit n them beyond looking into thecases which Brun held open: she didnot touch one of them. But Maris wasgenuinely alarmed and very unhappy.

At last one day Madanie Brun cameto her looking more worried than usual.

"Look." she said. '"I have changedhalf a million of the mille notes intoKnglish bank notes. It was too big adeal. I am getting anxious, and wemust be on".' .

"Where arc we going to?" Marisasked.

'"We are going to Cherbourg." was theanswer, "to catch the liner which stopsat Queenstown, Ireland. From there weshall lose ourselves among the simplepeople of the west of Ireland, and thendouble back to Lyons, via London. Lon-don is an excellent place to get lost in."

"But why do we go to I.vons?" Marisasked."To buy silks and velvets." was Mieanswer, "and to change more of thenotes."Mai is understood it all now; thevwere to become brigands on a largerscale than ever. But even among her

apprehensions she was glad they weregoing to Ireland; she had never beenthere.They left the hotel amid a bowing circleof officials and servants all well tippedby Madame Brun.They took the fast train to Cherbour»

run in connection with the liner, on whichtheir berths had already been booked.Madame Brun was confidential as to herplans in Ireland.'I shall get rid of hundreds of pounds

in live pound notes."' «hc stated. "Thesimple Irish will take them without ques-tion! Then in Dublin, on our way back.I shall place many more of the* largeramounts. This journey through Irelandwill be very profitable"to our society. 1should not wonder if we went to Belfastand bought a large quantity of linen.If we do I shall ship it straight to Russia.It will be as good as gold there."

Maris saw nothing before her but along expedition of swindling.

'•But supposing." she asked, "thesenotes reach the Bank of England beforewe leave Ireland? What will happenthen'?" ''

Madame Brun shook her head"Things are not done so quickly inIreland," she answered. "It takes quite

a long time for the notes to circulateto the Bank of England. If only oneor two reached London they would takelittle notice. It is when the big hatchesarrive that they wake up!"

"And when they wake up, what hap-pens*" asked Maris.

Brun shrugged her shoulders."By that time." she answered, "we

shall he in Lyons. But I admit that in•this profession one has to act quicklvand to keep one's eyes open. But as 1give a different name with each hatchof notes and leave no trace behind, itwill be verv difficult to follow ue."

Maris could make no answer to thisobvious display of former experiences,but the question was ever in her mind;What would happen if they were dis-covered and traced r

The run to Cherbourg was uneventful,and they embarked on the big liner justas the night was falling.

It was very luxurious, and the cabinengaged for Maris was splendid. If shehad l>een a Royal princess no greater res-pect could have l>een shown her. Thegreat difficulty was to avoid making pro-miscuous acquaintances, many of whomabsolutely pressed their attentions uponher.

The run to Queenstown was a verypleasant one. and her first glimpse ofIreland was a \ icw of the great Bay ofQueenstown.

St. (icorge's Channel had. however, notagreed with Brim; it was not until shehad been warned by one of the stewardsto prepare for landing that she appeared

011 deck."Oh. madame." .-lie explained to Maris.

"I have been at death's door with sea-sickness down in the second-class cabin!It was fearful! And the food. 1 couldnot look at it.''

Knowing Brim's fondness for her meaK.Maris was inclined to sympathise withher, but she forcbore as they wereapproaching the landing stage.

"And this country of Ireland."' con-tinued Brim, "it has no good food exceptraw bacon, and as you know, madame.one soon tires of that."

They were now ready for landing, andMaris was looking forward, despite theirerrand, to see a country and a peopleshe had never seen liefoie.

The view of the bay was lovely. Itwas difficult to l>elicve that such a beautiftil country could be mi devastated i.ydissension.

They were making tlieir way to theship's side, and Brim \va* busy with thesmall baggage, when an incident occurredwhich struck terror into both of them.

Bruu came forward to ask a questionabout Maris' dressing case. and wasstanding with the bag in her hand.

"Madame." she said, "will you ha\ethis with you in the railway carriage,or shall I take it."'

This was pure camouflage on the partof Brun. for the benefit of the other pas-sengers; she always took the bag withher, as it Contained many of the notes.

Brun was standing waiting for Maris"answer when her eyes became lixed andevery vestige of colour faded from herface.

Maris turned to find out the reason forthis change, when a voice which sheseemed to know asked a question. Alittle unpretentious man was speakingto her.

"I beg that you will pardon iae askingthe question, your Kxcellcncylie said,"but where arc you going T"'

It was Monsieur Dumont, the I'arisChef dc Police.

A SCOURGE OF PASTURES.VIIWAI OR "BIDDY BIDDY."

HOW TO COPE WITfl IT.

It is interesting td note th't sciencelas to its credit many meritoriousachievements attained by the nee ofbiological agents in the control ofnoxious plants and a hope li entertainedthat the Cawthron Institute has ia itspossession, in a captive state for the pre-sent, insects with a single partiality,the oni for ragwort and the other forblackberry. It may be predicted witha great deal of certainty that thescientific powers employed to like pur-poses will shortly demonstrate a weaiiiof at least partial control of thesepestierious weeds that Will be of greateconomic value. It ii recognised allround that there is grdat primary lossin this Dominion, aot only in directmonetary expenditure tipon control, butalso through the partial Monopoly ofareas that would otherwise have ii con-siderable productive value.

Continuous Warfare.The Tustory o* agriculture is a record

of continual contest with noxious weeds'from long before the time When theenemy sowed tares in hie neighbour,*wheat field; joined to a battle againstnoxious' insects. It is Only quite re*

cently that it became recognised thatthere are also beneficent insects, fromman's point of view, that may be em-ployed-to our advantage where merelymechanical, and all too inadequateweans were formerly employed. Meteanimal losses through disease and soilinsufficiency are small matters, almostamounting to trivialities, compared tothe magnitude of loflsee through thecauses noted. The chemical ffleiOT forsoil improvement are at hand, and maybe readily- applied If a comparison ofcost and probable return juitifles theiruse; and just as chemical means aremade available to the farmer to over-come elemental deficiencies, so shouldbiological means be made available toovercome the persistent invasion of oarfields by noxious, plants.

Field for Investigation.Certainly no field of investigation

•ffers a greater prize in monetary value,and the Government thit givee ft duerecognition and support to those insti-tutions whose research is devoted to theland's increase, is itself worthy of whole-hearted support in iueh endeavours.

iAs an outcome of the present strainand depression, attention haa beendrawn to every detail of land manage-ment, finance and produce control, andit is not vain to predict the primaryproducer will, well within the next de-cade, find himself in a more assuredposition than ever before.

There is, however, one scourge thatlas never received from •dene* the»,at»tention due to it, became it! T*7B|e*are generally confined td the Mclflded

pasture lands of the country, and that isthe scourge of "biddy biddy" (alsoeommony known in some localities bythe native name of "utiwai"), that inthe season of the ripened burrs encasestie sheep as in a coat of armour. Longfestoons of the plant may also be seenoverhanging shady banks on the runsand climbing over the English pasturegrsses. No adoptable suggestion hasever been made by experts as a meansto control. The means they advocateare simply those they adopted throughhear«*ay from those who have attempt-ed them with little or no success. . . .

It is well known that stocking withhorses has a good effect, but these can-not be maintained during the year insufficient numbers for that special pur-pose, and for other purposes they havelittle value and are never in favourwith sheep fanners apart from theirtransport usages. Both cattle andsheep have uses also, but in spite ofthem the plant appears perennial anddesirous of extending its territory.

Various Suggestions.At times suggestions are put forward

recommending the fencing of dark facesinto separate paddocks and the concen-tration Of stock within these, but tVcountry that produces the bulk of wooland mutton, together with the mostabundant crop of "biddy biddy," oftenrequire* arbitary fence lines on accountof its broken nature, and so there canbe no deviation from the safety line.

Still the solution Of the "biddy biddy"problem does not present the same dif-ficulties as those other already men-tioned, for Stock will eat the plant,though with little relish, and it is notHarmful in its effects like ragwort.Mixed with good grasses cattle will eatit readily and without discrimination,but when it is growing most luxuriantlythere also are the other grasses, and soit Cftnnot be sufficiently punishedi Ithas also beetl suggested that salt, bone-duet or superphosphate might be appliedto make it more palatable. Such atreatment is all riprht experimentally,but it cannot be applied in general man-agement, which desires something tosupplant the invader in both cleared-bush and open country. The attentionof the expert might therefore be directedtowards the discovery of a competitiveagent possessing greater vitality and amore nutritious quality. It is - noticedthat, when infested paddocks are closed,the English grasses in their upwardgrowth carry the "weed" above theground, and it is when the pasture andthe other vegeation have intermixed andgrown up and "sweetened" that stockcan be most successfully employed.Cattle are then able to obtain a goodmouthful in a combination that is excel-lent fodder.

Value of Subterranean Clover.Probably a pasture plant that may

be successfully employed to competewith the "biddy biddy" is the so<calledsubterranean clover, of which compara-tively little It known here, and withwhich fxperiipente are lerionsrg sug-

gcsted. It is claimed for the MountBarker district, in the vicinity of Ade-laide, that it originated there, and thatit has added millions of pounds in value.of land, to its habitat, and also to dis-tricts of similar character in South andWest Australia, in many parts of whichit is firmly established, while it hasbecome so favourably known In outsidedistricts as to have created a demandfor seed far ahead of the supply. Likeour scourge of the pasture which it maybe employed to supplant, it favours acool climate with an ample rainfall, andso will do quite Veil on the shady faceswhere '•biddy biddy" grows in euchabundance on a widely-infested area.Hitherto it appears to have ben iried ondrier country, no doubt because its nameis suggestive of a drought resister.

Personal experience or it, given by aSouth Australian farmer, details that heowned a considerable run, that Was cold,wet and swampy in winter and becamehard and dry in summer, exactly like agreat belt of the country we have inreview. The carrying capacity was onesheep to the acre, and as it was not apaying proposition it was quitted at £2per acre. A very few years afterwardswhen the run was visited by the formerowner he found it covered with a' densemass of subterranean clover nearly afoot high, with sheep and lambs, severalto the acre, fat and fattening upon it,while the land value had increased fromtwo to ten pounds per acre. The Solemeans of laying down was by scarify-ing, and the application of a liberaldressing of superphosphate. There islittle doubt that the same clover mightbe successfully employed here to com-pete with "biddy biddy." If given afair chance to establish itself with agood start, it is almost a certainty thatsubterranean clover would more thanhold its own and provide a pasture richin fattening qualities that would insurea good carrying- capacity-—the additionalstock required to grase Out and trampout this pasture and wool destroyingburr plant from the wide domain it nowoccupies at great expense to the Domin-

THE "SLACK" SEASON.ODD JOBS ON THE FARM.

The month of June brings with it asuggestion of winter. The days arcshort, and often wet; work on the landia often impossible, at least,with horses,but on a farm there are always plentyof odd jobs awaiting execution. Whenfair overhead, attention may be givento the draining of wet patches in thevarious paddocks. New fences may beerected, and old ones repaired.

Broken barbed wire is an everlastingdanger to stock, both cattle and horses,and is undoubtedly the cause of muchserious loss. The writer has been onsome farms where broken-down fenceswere the rule, and it seemed a miraclethat bad accidents to stock were not adaily occurrence. Barbed wire is veryuseful on a farm, if well looked after,but, under careless management, it mayprove a bitter and costly enemy. Wirefences will occasionally do injury tostock under the beet bat

that is no excuse for carelessness, andevery farmer should train himself to thehabit Of attending to repairs at once.

When draining tho wet spots, tilesshould be laid in preference to leavingthe drains open. The open drain is adeath trap for cattle and sheep, and thesaving in this direction alone will morethan compensate for the outlay in pipes.Open drains are a nuisance in a culti-vated paddock. They waste time incultivation work, and the space theyoccupy produces no crop.

Internal stock parasites on manyfarms may bo traced to undrained pad-docks, or swampy hollows, and, as longas those exist, the internal parasites willnever be completely controlled.

Leaky roofs, broken doors, carte, etc.,will require some repair. Where gatesare all of a standard pattern, as theyought to be, it is a good plan to haveone or two epare ones, which can behung at once in place of a broken one,which may be repaired at a fitting oppor-tunity. -Stacks of all kinds should becarefully examined, with the .object ofprotecting all epots that are likely toadmit rain.

Live hedges, not yet trimmed, shouldbe gone over as soon as possible. Duringwet weather there are numbers of jobsto choose from, such as the repairing ofharness, implements, tools, horse andcow covers, and there is generally somewhitewashing to do—it cannot be donetoo often.

Young horses may be haltered andhandled and cattle intended for showingshould be taught to lead. Concretefloors may be laid to take the place ofclay. In fact, the odd jobs of a farm areendless.

BLACKBERRY ERADICATION.Once again the blackberry peet is

attracting attention. Three members ofthe Morere community have (writes ourEaet Coast correspondent), launched anexperiment of their own with a herd ofgoats. The weed is spreading over alarge area in that part. In fact, it isalmost impossible to conceive land beingbrought into normal production againwithout the adoption of costly treat-ment. The goats secured by the Morerefarmers are Angoras from the SouthIsland, and though it is too early to fore-cast what effect they will have on theplants, there is a good account of themanner in which they have attacked theplant. _ It has been established that goatswill nibble the tougher portions of theweed, but will not eat the tender shoots.Therefore, while the animals may pre-vent the berry from spreading, the pro-cess to destroy a big acreage must beprotracted if goats alone are employed.Land owners are still awaiting the re-lease of a parasite that will attack theweed, as the cochineal insect is expectedto control the prickly pear pest in Aus-tralia. A prominent member of a re-search institution made the explanationrecently that there were insects thatwould feed on the blackberry, but theywould not be propogated until it hadbeen satisfactorily proved that tlicywould die rather than eat anything else.The solution of the blackberry problem,it is to be feared, ie not to be reached to-ft short route,
