UNIVERSITY COUNCIL

ACCREDITING SYSTEM

ANEW SCHEME-APPROVED

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)DUNEDIN, 29th January.

The Council of the New Zealand Uiu»versity met this morning in Allen Hall,the Chancellor(Professor J. MacmillanBrown) presiding."

Dr. J. Hightwas appointed the coun-cil's representative on the internationalstudent service.

The Chancellor announced that Pro-fessorHunter had accepted the positionof Vice-Chancellor.It was decided thathis term of office should commence on.Ist January. -In connection with the position ofPrc-Ghane'ellor(the Hon; J. A. Hanan),it was decided that officeshould be heldtill 1930. ■ . .It was resolved that the committee

on theological degrees "bo granted an '

extension of time for the submission ofits report until the May meeting of thecouncil. : " " "■

Reporting on the clause considered bya special committee, Sir George Fowldsmoved that the council approve theestablishment of a chair of midwiferyat Otago University College. It-was ex-plained that the salaiy would corres-pond with those being paid in the caseof existing medical chairs. The clausewas adopted.It was decided that the application,

from the chairman of the CanterburyAgriculturalCollege be referred back tothe Board of Governorsaud- its atten-tion called to the fact that no applica-tion had yet been made to the univer-sity for the approval of the establish-ment of any chair at the' CanterburyAgricultural College.

MATRICULATION CANDIDATES.The Academic Board recommended

the council to consider the' followinggeneral scheme of accrediting: (1) Thatthe executive committee, with the ad-vice of the Education Department, andof the Professorial Boards of the fourcolleges, draw up a list of-' secondaryschools which shall be recognised asqualified to accredit candidates formatriculation; (2) that any school notplaced, in the official list may, at anytime, apply to the University Councilfor recognition; (3) that in the case ofpupils who have attended a recog-nised school for not less than. threeyears, a certificate that in the opinionof the headmaster or headmistress (af-ter consultation with, and endorsementby a secondary school inspector) a can-didate has (without question) reachedthe standard of university entrance ex-amination in subjects required by theStatute, be accepted in lieu of the uni-versity entrance''examination; (4) thateach Professorial Board bo providedwith a register of students sent forwardas accredited by each school, and re-port annually to the University Coun-cil'upo'n the general performance of thecandidates from each school;*(5) thatif, in the opinion of the ProfessorialBoard, accrediting by any school hasproved unsatisfactory, the UniversityCouncil may deprive"the "school of itsright to accredit; (6) that the univer-sity entrance examination bo continuedfor candidates other than those whohave been accredited. -Professor Hunter, the'convener of thecommittee, said that the scheme out-lined that adopted by thcßvidencnBoard. He moved the. "adoption ofclause']. '

'■■:'.

THE REVENUE;'ASPECT.Sir Robert Stout said that he wa3

.opposed to the system1 of1 accrediting.It had-been tried in New York, and, heunderstood,in' oilier States,'and had tobe given tip." 'They" were■ to appoint usofficerspersons who had nothing to do-with the university, and these were tosay who were'to be taught'by theiruniversity. Accrediting would do away

, with ■examinations, and also with their&es. Sir Robert-asked how they weregjoing to make up their revenue. Itwjas hot the duty of the university totake control of the secondary schools,and" this was taking the" control ofthicse- schools. They would be throw-ing- away £4000 or £5000 per year,andJosing control of university education.It."would be .of no1 value to their edu-cational system. ' ;

Dr. Newlands moved' as an amend-ment'that" in. clause 1, the words "onapplication" should be inserted afterthe word "shall." " ':■""■'

. Mir. Milnor said that, speaking as asecondary school teacher, nothing butsuccess had attended the accreditingsystem throughoutNew Zealand. It hadalso proved successful in Victoria, andin Switzerland. He was glad to see thatall the evidence regarding accreditingwas being crystallised into" a concretesystem. ' ■ ■

Mr..'Hanan agreed that the systemhad proved satisfactory in Victoria, butthe system of examination was stricterthere taian in New Zealand. The Edu-cation IXepartment should increase thenumber 'pf secondary school inspectors,of .which, they had not sufficient at thepresent fame. He would trust someteachers,but others ho would not. TheGovernment could not put their seal ofapproval on this scheme unless it hadmore secondary school inspectors.. Mr. de la Mare said he was1 in favourof the accrediting system. ■-

Mr. Wells said he must heartily sup-port the accrediting system. -He didnot think it would make a great in-crease in the present number of passes.It was in tiio interests- of efficiency.

FAVOURABLE EVIDENCE.Mr. Flower said that information

gathered by the Board of Studies hadbeen put together, and it was entirely,favourable to the system.

Dr. Newlaiuls's amendment was ac-cepted by ProfessorHunter and clause1 as amended was adopted," Sir RobertStout and Mr. Hanan being the only,dissentients.

Clause2 was: also adopted, Sir Rob-ert Stout objecting.

Dr. Newlands moved as an amend-ment to clause 3 that the words "suchcertificate shall not be issued,unless hemakes a declaration that he intends toproceed with a university -course" beadded to the clause.

Mr. Hanan seeovided the amendmentpro forma. .

Mr. flower said that the amendmentwould destroy the effect of the system.

The amendment was lost .on thevoices and the chaise was adopted, SirRobert Stout objecting. * '

Sir Robert Stout also objected to thopassing of clause it.." -'"■"'

The remaining two clauses Tveroadopted. '

■

Mr. Flower moved that the Educa-tion Department bo iciquested .to streng-then the secondary sdhool inspectorate.The motion was earned.

Dr. .Newlands, them moved that thefee for the registration of candidatesunder the accrediting system bo twoguineas.

The,motion;:was .caiiried, Sir. RobertStout, objecting.

It was decided that : tlie next annualmeeting, of the council bo held in AYel-lingtoii,-.a»\ amendment, that it bo heldin Nelson being defeated.

GOLF NOTES

NELSON AT EASTER

A NEW BALL?

With the exception of the Welling-ton Club, little golf of a competitivenature is being played at present, buttho weather has kept the courses infar better condition than is usual inJanuary, and friendly games aro i'ro-qucnt on most links. It is likely, will)

tho Easter tournament at Kelson, thatthere will bo earlier activity amongstclubs this year than usual, and coolerwoathcr may bo experienced, whichwould lead golfers to the links again.

The question of a now ball neverseems to die, yet never appears toreach finality. England lias been in-terested in it for soino time, and nowAmerica is. seriously considering theadoption of some means of stabilisingcourse lengths, which have graduallygrown until tho extent of hind requir-ed has mado some of the ofder coursesunsuitable for the modern game. Thebigger and lighter tho ball, the less dis-tance it can bo driven against the wind,and tho more errors of hitting are ap-parent. It is claimed that tho lighternew ball will nmko the gamebetter forthe skilled player, and will eliminatea largo proportion of the successes dueto hard hitting. With present coursesit would mean that at a good manyholes it would no longer be a questionof a mashie chip to the pin, but alonger shot. As many of the courseshave been designed for the presentball, and the guarding of tho greensstiffened for the short approach, itmightbe necessary,if a new ball wereintroduced, to effect considerable alter-ation at some of the holes, in order toleave the average players, who after allprovido the bulk of the subscriptionsand keep the game going, some enjoy-ment, in golf. With the changes whichtho introduction of a new ball wouldbring, it is not surprising ' that theauthorities ou both sides of the Atlan-tic arc taking time over their deci-sions. What is ndopted, in view of theinternational, character the game ofgolf lias assumed in recent years, willprobably be general, and with tho num-ber of nations interested, it is not likelyto bo a speedy decision.

AN AMERICAN VIEW.Gene Sarazcii, <« a» article in

"Golfers' Magazine," says of tho posi-

"'"just lately the English gulf auth-orities liavo been reported as consider-ing a ball both larger and lighter than,tho present sphere and as consideringtho advisability of placing tho matterbefore both the Royal and Ancient andUnited States Billing golf body toradoption. This is the climax of quite afew tests that the English lrave sanc-tioned in the hope of finding a way outof this era of long hitting. Our firstinclination is to blame the ball, ofcourse. There are too many duffers hit-tinjj tho ball far and long to do other-.w'«p There is little satisfaction for aprofessional or good amateur to claimthat the present crop of goiters arelonger hitters than their recent rela-tives Such anadmission would make theold timers look bad and really injure thehalo that surrounds them, at present.It must therefore be. the ball. 1.

remember, -however, that pros .used' tobe able to make quite a distance withthe old Baby Dimple ball that used toliana around the golf courses years ago.I do think the present ball is livelier,but not to such a great extent as weare led to believe. Golfers throughthe medium- of excellent'" instruction,

'the printed word, and the movies, areperhaps a bit more acquainted with goltechnique than was the average playerton or so years ago. it is no wonderthen that they arc able to. send thoball a little further down the fairway.Of course to offset this argument isthe powerful and quite expensive onethat most clubs have had to renovatetheir links with an eye toward distanceand strategically placed traps thatmight cause, one to. take a few morestrokes. The. old timers contend thatstrength is now uppermost whereas thocame used to require a . bit ot skill.They catered to style and .;. orthodoxways in those days. So long as theexecution was perfect it made littledifference how far tho ball would go.Now-a-days the fellow goes up to theball with tho idea of really,hitting ithard and sometimes getting away withit They get away with it so ottenthat the TJ.S.G.A.will probably issue aproclamation in the near future to tryto stop some of it. We can't use a 1our terra, flrrna for. golf courses. Withtho advent of a new ball that wouldput control ahead of distance- the lowscoring of many mediocre players willend. I think there will be- little dif-ference in professional 'scoring. Inthe first place pros have, already mas-tered the art of placement to a consid-erable extent. In order to make aliving, at tho game they must perforcebe good. .

The experts argue that distance in-stead of placement is. detrimental to

the game,but they should argue thisfact with a few duffers. The averagegolfer prof era a long drive to a well-placed approach any day in tho week.There is no assurance at present, how-ever, that the U.S.G.A. will sanction anewball. From time to timo they haveconsidered kindred proposals and liavenot acted in the affirmative. The newsphere will certainly have to undergorigid tests before it will be approved,that is certain. It would certainlyprove a boomerang to h;ivo tho nowball of such deadening qualities thattho courses would have to be shorten-ed again to make the game interesting.That wouldmerely bo jumping from thofrying pan into tho fire. Still some-thing should bo done to stop tho ex-penses the clubs nowadays are forcedto meet in order to make the coursehard enough to be interesting. There isa ball somewhere that will suit every-body concerned. The next thing to-dois find it. Perhaps, however, it hasbeen found and this new ball is it. Thoexact weight of the new ball will be1.55 ounces, instead of tho present1.63 and tho diameter is to be I.GB.

inches instead of 1.62."PUTTING—EXPERT ADVICE.

The- world's greatest golf player isnaturally a deadly putter. .Here iswhat "Bobbie" Jones has to say onthis part of the game: "The good put-ter is simply tho man who can keepcoming close—who gets more frequent-ly within a one-foot radius of the hole

—and that, because of the greater num-ber that conic close, means that agreater number will go in. Working onthis idea, it must appear that wo shouldconcern ourselves mainly with the moregeneral contours of the green than tryto account for every little hop or rollwhich the ball is likely to take. Thisdoes not imply that we should be tak-ing a haphazard shot at thi? hole, butonly that we should determine on alinu.on which we want the ball to startand hit firmly on that line. Worryingabout-rough spots ou the green,bas noeffect except to make'the stroke1 'inde-cisive, and I believe that bad. puttingis dueMnore to the effect or! the grcouon the player than on the action of theball." There is a lot in the cham-pion's concluding remark. Most badputting is due to timorous striking. Ifa player hits a ball firmly on tho green,it will usually run true, even thoughthe surfaceover which it travels is notquite true.

Sho steamed into I'enangHarbour under cover of n dummy funnel madoof canvas nnd wood, and mistaken for a unitof the Allied Fleet, sho went by unchallenged.Sho torpedoed and sank v Russian warshipat her moorings without warning. A Trenchdestroyer immediately got up anchor andbravely attackod tho raider, but with hergreater gun power the Emden easily disposedof the game Uttlo craft. The Eniden Immedi-ately got under way and was heard of nomore until the Sydney caught her red-handedat tho Cocos Islands, which waa tho termina-tion of tho German ship's notorious career onthe seas.

A vividly actlonfulscreen version of thefamous novel by Count Lyof N. lolstoi,astory of Cossack life, love, and death, com-mences next Friday evening at the Do LuxeTheatre Wild horsemen In perilous rides,surging' battles in mountain fastnesses; thesoul of the Russian Cossack, Inured to hard-ship and educated only to love and battle;heart-stirring encounters between .Cossacktroop and fearless Turkish horde; and a lovestory as exquisite as any within memory—these are the ingredients of tho plcutre. 'TheCossacks" catches the spirit of the hardiesfighters of all history, and indeed it shouldfor a troop of them was brought from Europe

to stage the sensational rides ami enact thepeople of the Uussian town ill which tho actionis laid. A complete town was among thegigantic settings built for the play, with sev-eral hundred Russians living in it. Practicallynil the picture was directed in Kussto, as, withthe exception of the principals, tho actors spokono English. So it might almost as well havebeen actually mado in Russia—and tho spiritof tho play shows it. This love story is set inthe thunder of battle and the heat of adven-ture; niassivo hugeness of setting adds to thisimpression. But there is another note: theintense fanatical lovo of the old Cossack chief,played by Ernest Torrence, for his son. Gil-bert is the sou, a swaggering young Cossacksoldier to whom the great truths in life comein tho smoke of battlo and the agony of tor-ture. Grim in spots, compelling in realism,tho play is none.the leas one of the most beau-tiful or romancos. George Hill directed thoplay iv a masterly manner, from the story byPrances Marlon, and the cast includes Mary

Gosta Ekman, who plays the role or theclown in 'The Golden Clown," gives a heart-rending picture of the irony of the motley. Ihostory is an old one of a clown who struggles

ALLAN WILKIE

"THE DREAM"—"THE SHREW"

Shorn of the special gloss that Sir.George Musgrove imported into his pro-duction quarter of a century ago—in anattempt to polish up the Bard for popularconsumption—"A Midsummer Night'sDream" was presented at the GrandOperaHouse last evening in au even more con-vincing manner. Although the false bril-liance of a "super-production" was notpresent, the scene in the wood was yetpretty enough to charm, and the delicatelighting effects helped to add the atmos-phere appropriate to dream fantasiesandto the nocturnal ramblings of thosesprightly characters that human beingsresemble more often than they realise.A play that brings on to one stage Puck,Titania, and Oberon; the human loversfour; the drolleries of the tradesman-players; and 1 the amiably dignified courtof Theseus and Hippolyta, covers enoughof the natural and the supernatural, thesentimental and the farcical to meet allordinary tastes. Given a reasonable settingand capable actors, an artistic success fol-lows, and nothing less can be said of theAllan Wilkie—Hunter-Watte production asgiven before an appreciative audience inthe Grand Opera House last evening. Thestrength lay not in stardom but in allround quality. Anyone who goes expect-ing to see Titania, Puck, and Bottom,andlittle more, will discover also an excellentQuince in Mr. William Lockhart, thatcapable actor who lends distinction toalmost everypart he takes up, and whosehandling of the play-scenes of Bottom andCompany has rarely been equalled. Shake-speare has found so much humour in theproducers of his day that it seems a pitythat he cannot, by some feat of reincar-nation, make use of the rich materialprovided in the Twentieth Century by thedirectors of film'plays. Mr. Allan Wilkie'sBottom is another indication of the ver-satility of an actor. In its own way,His performance is equal to some of thebest that he has given in the tragic sideof Shakespeare, and proves him to besufficient of a comedian to. justify hisremarkable ambition-to produce the wholerange of Shakespeare's plays. To thisambition the more-than-versatile MissHunter-Watts is equally necessary,andadmiration deepens as the years go byand reveal in some new part the diction,refinement,grace,and charm that arehers,and that adorn, the .part of Titania.Seldomhas Mr. Denis Barry been so wellsuited as in Puck; all those characteris-tics that do not sit well on a Romanwarrior help to. give magic to the noc-turnal forest elf, who flits from tree totree and from mortal to'mortal administer-ing those love spells which are so peculiarin their effectsthat no divorce court judgecan ever pretend to understand them.Miss Lorna Forbes and Miss MarjorieCarr also Sir. Alex March and Mr. JohnCameron,were the lovers who providedPuck witli most of his raw material. Con-scientious as ever. Mr. John Cairnsmadethe most of the Duke Theseus;Mr. Her-bert Sheldrick carried well the kinglyrole in fairyland; and the balance ...of thecompany,especially the children, helpedto make up a bright ensemble.

Mr. Allan Wilkie presents a new pro-duction of the famouscomedy, "The Tam-ing of the Shrew," at the Grand OperaHouse this evening. The situations ofthe taming of Katherine by Petrucioprovide a treasure trove of humour. Theplay is a perfect riot of fun from begin-ning to end, and Mr. Wilkie's new pro-duction is said to be enhanced by verymagnificent costumes and setting. To-morrow, for one performance only, "Oth-/ello" will be staged, witli Mr. Wilkie inthe title role and Mr. Alexander Marshas lago. The two following performances,Friday evening and Saturday matinee,willbe "Romeo and Juliet," and on Saturdayevening Mr. Wilkie introduces perhapsthe most interesting production of hisseason, when he stages the Roman drama"Coriolanus," which the poet Swin-burne stated to be the most wonderfulpiece of work that has emanated' fromthe mind of man.

MINER'S DEATH

TAWA FLAT. FATALITY

CORONER'S COMMENT

PROTECTION FOR MEN"

Strong comment on the typo of .cageused in one of tho shafts sunk in crin-nceti«n with tho Tawa Flat railway de-viation was made by Mr. P. J. O'Reganyesterday afternoon, at tho conclusionof tho' inquest on James Patrick Mor-ris, a miner. Morris, who was 35 yearsof age, and who lived at Parncll,Auckland, was killed through fallingdown a shaft .'near Glenside, tho newPublic Works Department, settlementoutside "Johnsonvillo, at 6.30 a.m. onIStli January.

The Coroner-was Mr. E. Pago, S.M.Mr. O'Began appeared for .tho widowof the deceased, and-the Now Zea-land Workers' Union, and Mr. J.Prendovillc represented, tho PublicWorks Department. . ■

Maurice Gault, a miner, said that hoand the deceased were on tho sameshift and wore working at the bottomof the shaft. Morris told witness thathe was going to tho top to have a cutou his hand attended to. Ho got intothe cage, and witness gave tho signalfor it to be hoisted to the top. Thecage moved up at the normal speed.Witness turned away and then heard athud. On looking round, he saw thodeceased lying in tho pit. Ho calledsome of the other men, and they tooktho deceased to tho top of tho shaft intho other cage. Witness, had no ideahow the accident had happened. Bothrails wero in position in the cago whentho deceased ascended.

David Irvine, a brakeman, said thattho cago camo up from tho bottom inthe usual manner, but there was no oneaboard although ho had been given asignal indicating that a man was inthe cage. Both rails were in position.

Corroborative evidence was given byWilliam James Hyde.

Lan Carlyon, another miner, said thattho cut on tho deceased's hand was aslight ouo and was not likely to havecaused him to faint. It was usual toget attention for such injuries, as thewater in tho tunnel was liable to makethem septic. Witness did not considerthere was sufficient room for a manto fall down between tho cago andtho wall of tlio shaft, but it was pos-sible for him to have been crushed be-tween tho cage and one of the project-ing sills which ran round the shaft atintervals.

Mr. O'Regan suggested that the sud-den change from tho conditions under-ground to those above might liavocaused Morris to faint.

Witness replied that he had neverhoard of such a ease. Ho agreed withcounsel that Morris had probably fallenon the floor of the cago, and that hisarm had been caught by a sill and hohad been dragged out of tho cage.

Charles Langbain, a civil engineerat Tawa Plat, agreed with counsel'stheory of the cause of the accident. Thedistance between the wall of the shaftfind the cage-was nine and a halfinches,and the- sills, which were placedat intervals of five feet, projected eightand a half inches.

SYSTEM QUESTIONED.Mr. o'Regan said it appeared that if

the safeguards required to bo providedby private employers had been used atTawa Flat, the accident would have-been impossible. Ho was casting noreflection on the officers of the Depart-ment, but was merely questioning thesystem in vogue there. Where theState embarked upon work usuallydone by private employers, the legis-lation affecting tho lattcv should bo ob-served by tho State. Ho quoted sec-tions from the Coal Mines Act, 1925,tho Mining Act, 1926, and.tho StoneQuarriesAct, 1910,to show that wheremen were, being carried up and downshafts under such conditions as. existedat Tawa Flat, it was . obligatory ontho employers to enclose tho cagescom-pletely. Had tho Department providedtho gates on tho cageswhich tho legis-lation required private employers toprovide, counsel maintained, the acci-dent would not have occurred. If thesides of the cage were to bo left un-fenced, then, perhaps, the gaps be-tween the sills could bo boarded overto make a smooth, unbroken surface.It was extraordinary that the Depart-ment, which was the largest employerof quarry labour in New Zealand,should not be bound by the legislationhe had quoted. In the public interestthe same safeguards as were demandedof private employers should be providedby-tho Crown.

Mr. Prendevillo remarked that anexamination of thecage after the ac-cident had shown it to be in good or-der. The deceased fainting might haveaccounted for the fatality. But for thathe would have been quite safe.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.

The Coroner said that an examina-tion of tho locality after tho accidentshowed that the deceased when about70ft from the bottom of tho shaft hadbeen crushed between the floor of thecago and the sido of the shaft, hisbody being forced through between, thoJloor and ono of the sills. How ho cameto bo caught in such a way must boa matter of surmise, but probably hefainted and some part of him wascaught between tho sill and tho cago.The verdict would be that the deceas-ed while proceeding to tho surface wasaccidentally killed through falling fromthe cagointo tho pit below.

Referring to the submissions madeby Mr. 0 'Regan, the Coroner said itwas clear that if gates had been pro-vided on tho cage, an accident wouldnot have occurred. "It seems to me,"added Mr. Page,. "that as.moji havebeen, and will be regularly moving upand down in this cage, such gatesshould be provided. I propose to bringthe evidence that has been adduced bo-foro tho Department, with a view to |their considering or adopting such asuggestion." . j

MEMORY TESTS

THAMES AND PLACES

"I can remember your face, but Iuan't think of your nainu," is aremarkfrequently exchanged among acquain-tances and somotiincs ■ between friendswho have been separated for some time.Mr. E. L. Morgan, of Washington, how-ever, meed never have recourseto "it, .as shown 'at the week-ly luncheon- of the Rotary Clubyesterday, when .. lie " spoke on"Names and Faces of People WeMeet." Although a stranger, to all buta few, Mr. Morgan tucked the namesof some 150 Rotarians away in his headwhile ho lunched, and after the mealamused the gathering by calling thenames of all those present, some ofwhom thought they had made certainthat he had '!■ forgotten . their names.After, that, rotarians made;,memorandaon a board, " placing alongside each anumber. The note and': the numberwere callod out'tq Mr. Morgan, who didnot see tho board,'.,and later, withoutviewing it, he answered' questions re-lative to tho memoranda.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR

HOUSE ON FIRE

CHILD STRAPPED IN CHAIR

A',badly-burned child, aged three anda half years, strapped to a chair andwith manybruises, iir addition to burns;another child about five years of age,whoso back was black and blue, thesign of a very severe thrashing; andthree other children,,a 14-year-old girl,and a woman, apparently between 5Uand 60 years of age—all in a house,which was burning in several places.Those were the essential features inwhat provided' a sensation for thepeople of Eeefton recently, and a mys-tery which the ' police are .still. tryingto solvo (says the GreymoUth corres-pondent of the- "LytteltouTimes").

When Acting-Sergeant J. Bodgers, ofBrunner, who is in charge of.the Reef-ton Police Station while Sergeant H.Fryer is on holiday, called at the resi-dence of a woman in Bounuay street,Eeefton, about 4 o'clock on the after-noon of 19th January,: he discoveredthat amattress was on fire, also a.sofa,and some children's clothing in a chestof drawers was also burning. The fireswere quickly extinguished by the Act-ing-Sergeant, and Constable Hill.

The woman, when questioned, declar-ed that the three and a half year oldchild had started the fires. The boywas strapped to an ordinary chair andwas crying bitterly. The police leftshortly after 4 o'clock and everythingthen seemed safe. .. *About 10 o'clock the same night thopolice received an "S.O.S.'' call andrushed back to

i'the house.,'The' wall-

paper'in one of'the bedrooms was blaz-ing, and the remains. of another out-break wore found in the pantry. Thechild was released from the chair, andthe Acting-Sergeant then ..discoveredthat the boy had, been .badly ' burntabout the. lower part "of the body, al-most as though-the-' child "had joenfit-ting on a lire. Dr. Conlon.was sentfor, and,,after giving the'boy emer-gency treatment, ordered,his' removaltj the Eeefton Hospital. The- womanstated that she did not know the childhad been' burned. Under tho circum-stances Acting-Sergeant Eodgers deem-ed it advisable to remove the other fourchildren from tho house,and they alsowere admitted to hospital. On examin-ation there it was found that anotherboy, about five years■of age,was.badlybruised and his, back was practicallyall black and blue,"'evidently;the^resultof .a severe thrashing., 'The ages.,of thechildren range from. seven. months tosix years.

'\ ..-.''.

The woman had, it is stated, been inthe habit of, boarding other". people'schildren. Three of the-five in the houioon Saturday, including . the two boyswho were burned and bruised, ■ respec-tively, are the children of a Groymouthmarried couple.'. It:is .understood"thatthe woman's,husband resides in Eng-land. She employs a. 14-year-old Eeef-ton girl as domestic.

Tho affair retains' many . mysteriousfeatures, and the police, investigationis being continued. , . ; ;. .. A further statement' to the' effect thattho Child Welfare Officer Was inquir-ing into the case of the children whoweroboarded by thewomanin the caseappears in the '' Grey Argus'' of Fridaylast, which also mentioned that thoboys were still in tho hospital, and'thegirls had been boarded out to otherresidents. So far, however, nothingdefinite had been dono. in the matter.

A CRICKET PROBLEM

QUESTIONOF ELIGIBILITY

A debatable question arose in the recentcricket match, between the University andOld Boys senior teams over the eligibilityo£a certain player to bat for thp formerclub, and following* a request for a rulingfrom University^ the " matter was fullydiscussed at Monday's meeting of theManagement Committee of the local asso-ciation. The facts as set out in the letterwere that on the first day of the match,one player, "A," did not turn,up, and asubstitute was fielded in his' place, buthis name was entered with the team intbe^ score ■ book. On the second day'A' was again absent, but a secondplayer, "B," who had returned during theweek to the City, was sint in to bat aftereight wickets had fallen. The acting-captain of the Old Boys side objecting,"B" did not bat, and University won thematch without his assistance;but a cer-tain amount of dissatisfaction remained,amongthe members of' both teams.

The chairman (Mr. P. B. Broad) statedthat the question was not covered in therules, but a footnote to the M.C.C.rulesprovided that it was advisable that thecaptains should exchange the names . oftheir teams beforethe match started.Mr. O. Binnie, representing the OldBoys' Club, gave it as his opinion that ifUniversity had gone about the matterin the proper manner no difficulty wouldhave been met with from the opposingcaptain. . ■

It was decided that if a club should atany stage of the game declare its team,it must restrict itself to that team. Itwas considered that University, by writingout the names of the team on the firstday, declared their side and the playei;"B" was consequently not entitled to bat.It was added as the committee's opinionthat it was advisable for teams ait alltimes to advise each other of the per-sonnel of their sides.

RISKY SPORT

SPEED BOAT FATALITY

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)DUNBDIN,'29th January.At an inquest held to-day concern-ing the death of Charles Walter Sell,aged 25, who lost his life in tho upper

It hadbeen travelling at 45 miles an hourand its speed had been reduced to be-tween 16 and 20 miles an hour toturn a buoy, when it "side-slipped,"and Sell and the other occupant ofthe boat, George Tuckey, were thrownout. Neither was wearing a lifebelt.The boat righted itself and travelledin circles round the spot. Tuckoy waswearing his overcoat, and while ho wasridding himself of his clothing, Sell,who had boon treading water, disap-peared. Tuckey swam towards the shoroand was picked up by a skiff, Soli'sbody being found some hours later.

Five young ducklings, which has wau-dered away from an Essex farm werelater discovered attached to the brood ofa wild hen pheasant, who was "mother-ing" them.

AT PAHIATUATOXEUMA'S CUP

SUKPKISti IN SPIILNT

Although after Trcntham the Pahiatua.[Meeting yesterday was rather an anti-. climax, for a country meeting it was quite

.- enjoyable. The track with its long

..-straight finds out some horses,and there■■ ' wcro some surprises. There was a good'attendance,the totalisalor returns being(£14,430,compared ..with £oii'Jl last year.

; Toxeuma ran a good race in *ilic Cup,helped by an easy pace early when he wasallowed to stride along in front. Dobbin

' sprung a surprise in the sprint, finishing■jnueh 100 stoutly for the opposition, thewell-fanciedbrigade all being down thecourse.

Bright Day fell and Maui fell over himabout SOyards past the winning post inthe Pahiatua Cup. The respective riders,J. S. Potter und T. Webster,were not

-'.injured, but Potter did not 'ride again'during the day.'

MAIDEN RACE.St. Melba and Monetize monopolised the''betting. St. Melba showed out first, butTourist soon ran past him and led to the

turn from Waterspear, Monetize,Imperial■ Fame;and St. Melba. A good race homebetween Tourist, Monetize, Watcrspear,and Merry Mixture saw the judge declarea dead-heat between Monetize and Tourist,with Waterspear a neck back third and ahead in front of Merry Mixture. St.Melba was two lengths back, with Im-perial Fame next.

Tourist is the three-year-old brother toFirst Sight trained at Treiitluun by J.M'Laughlin. He is a good galloper, cap-able of better things. Monetize stuckon very well. YVatorspear and MerryMixture ran good races. St. Melba' losthis place at the turn and gave a dis-appointingdisplay.

BALLANCE HIGHWEIGHTHANDICAP.

The Swelland Queen's Choicewere theonly ones backed to any extent. Willow.Wai, Deluge, Rowley, and The Swellshowed out first, with" Queen's Choice lastto move. Willow Wai and General .Wailed across the top from Queen's Choice,Rowley, and Pairone. Queen's Choiceran past the leaders at the turn, andRowley improved his place, with TheSwellmoving up. The Swellfinishedvery

' strongly to beat Queen's Choiceby a head,with Rowley two lengths back third.Then came Deluge, AVillow Wai, andFairone.

The Swell, confidently ridden by W. J.Bowden,won well and finishedtoo stoutlyfor Queen's Choice,who tried to win allthe way down the straight. He wasgoing so comfortably a furlongfrom homethat his victory looked certain. Rowley■was not good enough, although he lookedwell. Deluge was going on better at theend than at any other stage. Willow Waiand GeneralWai showed pace but againfailed to stay.

HAMUA HACK HANDICAP.Billion was backed down to short price.King Quex led out of the straight from

Kilorell, Billion, and Mandarine. Therewas a good deal of interference as theyraced past' the h-cven-i'iirlong post, whereBillion led from Rakauponga, Cloyuo,Man-darine, Chopin, and King Quex, withBissao last. Rakauponga. led into thestraight from Cloyne, Billion, and Man-darine. Chopin and Pale Star joined in"half-way down the straight, and Billion,Pale Star, Chopin, .Rakauponga chargedat the post in line. The judgedeclared in favour of Billion, Rakauponga,Pale Star, and Chopin in that order, butthere is no doubt that Chopin finishedahead of both Rakauponga and Pale Star.Mandarine was fifth and Kilorell sixth.Billion raced right up to his Trenthamform, and was justgood enough. Chopinwas the unlucky runner all through, andit looked as if he should have won. Palefttar improved on Trentham running, andboth he and Rnkauponga galloped well.Mandarins ran his best race for sometime. After meeting trouble,King Quexmd not show his real form. liissac wasthe chief.sufferer in the interference,losing all chance.

PAHIATUA CUP.Anolo was a pronounced favourite, with

a fair amount of support for Toxeuma andHenna. Toxeuma led dowu and out ofthe straight from Kihnias, Imperial Spark,Maiii, Bright Day, Henna, and Anolo.Toxeuma held his place down the backstraight from Maui, Kihniss, ImperialSpark, Bright Day, and Henna. Toxeumaled into the straight from Imperial Sparkand Maui, with Anolo moving up on therails. Toxeuma held off the oppositionall the way down the straight, and beatAnolo by a length, with Imperial Sparka head back third. Henna was placedfourth, and Bright Day, andMaui next. Bright Day fell justai'&S pass-ing the post, and Maui fell over him.

Toxeuma was too good for the opposi-tion as the race was run, for he waspermitted to stride along easily in frontfor practically a mile. Anolo received aluckyrun on the rails in the straight, butwas not class enough for the'winner. Im-perial Spark went a solid race, which sug-gests an early return to a dividend-payingplace. Henna ran below her best form,and is liable to improve very consider-ably on this showing. Maui was not goodenough. Kilmiss did not finish with herusual dash, and Novni1 ami Courageouswere always in the rear.

KONINI HACK HANDICAP.Royal J/incagn was backed down to very

pronounced odds-on. Star Girl, RoyalLineage, Gold Bag, and Churmaliuo1 show-ed out first, and then Delude,Star Girl,and Charmaline took charge, to draw wellclear, aud lead t/-> the turn from ShiningStar a6*l Motlipiane, with Royal Lineagenext. Tjlie leading division were beatentwo fuvjongs from home, where RoyalLineage had run to the front, with Vol-plane, Mothplane, and GoldBag going bestof the rest. Royal Lineage came on towin easily by two lengths from Mothplane,. who beat Volplane by a length. GoldBagwas a head back fourth, with Star Girland Shining Star next.

Royal Lineage won very well, and beatthis field with great ease. Mothplane willsoon win a maiden event on this form.

■ Volplane and GoldBagboth stuck on well,nud GoldBag should soon pick up a stake.Star Girl and Shining Star ran just fail-races. Delude stopped badly in the runhome. Charmalinoshowed pace for fivefurlongs.

MAKURI HACK HANDICAP.Atholspear and Australia were solidly,

backed, with a fair amouut of support for. Holus Bolus. The Dove and Shortly jump-ed out first, and led to the turn fromJTolus Bolus,Abbey Queen,and Australia.Australia moved up when in, line for

home, and Atholspear on the outside.Holus Bolus strode to the front a furlongfrom home and beat Atholspear by'three-quarters of a length. Shortly was a headback,third, just in front of Australis,withThe Dove and Patearoa next.

Holus Bolus stuck on too well for Athol-spear, who was kept v long way backover the h'rst three furlongs. Atholspearfinished well, Shortly went a really goodrace, but Australia was the unlucky run-ner, for he received a very bad run downthe straight. Abbey Queen and The Dovefailed to stay down the long straight.I'atearoa was never in the picture.

PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP.Kaihoro was a £50 better favourite

than Kidgemount, with solid backing forMillais and Veronese. Kaihoro began verysmartly, and led down the back fromDobbin, Jiidgemcmnt, Lipsol, Lady Ideal,and Millais. Kaihoro still led at the turnfrom Lipsol,--Dobbin, Millais. Kidgemount,and Kilmezzo. Kaihoro was beaten morethan a furlong from home,where Dobbincame through on the inside and Lipsolran past Kaihoro,with Kilniczzo also go-ing well. Dobbin stuck on very well tobeat Lipsol by half a length, with Kil-mezzo two lengths back. Vigilance,Kidge-moimt, Inferno, and Lady Ideal werenext.It is needless,to say that both dividendswere more than usually largo for this typeot meetmg. Dobbin won really well, forhe mushed in great stylo. Lipsol and Kii-mezzo also hung on well in a manner dis-concerting to the backers of the fanciedbrigade. Kaihoro stopped badly in therun in, and Ridpemount was never goinglike a winner. Veronese was .slow away,and not a possibility at any stage. In-ferno ran a fair race, all things consider-ed, and Vigilance was sticking on well.EKETAHUNA HACK HANDICAP.A really good betting race for six mod-erates saw Rakauponga favourite.Volplane,

iiygrade, Jiakauponga, and Merry Mixturewere m the van to the turn, with AuroraBoreahskst. Merry Mixture ran. about inthe straight, but fcrged ahead,and AuroraiSorealisstuck on welbon the outside.Merry Mixture received the judge's deci-sion over Aurora ISorealis,with Volplanea length back third. Shining Star waslonrth, and Rakauponga next.. Merry Mixture, who had run a good raceJn the first event, was all over the courseover the last furlong, but for which hewould have won by a good margin. AuroraISorealistook a long time to settle down,but finished well. She was unlucky tolose. Volplane for, his second appearancealso ran a !good race, and Shining Starwas sticking on.

AT TAKAPUNAWYNYARD PLATE TO GOLD

MONEY

PfiODICE WINS BIG HANDICAP

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "The Evening Post.")

AUCKLAND, 20th January.The weather was again excellent for the

conclusion of the Takapuna Jockey Club'sSummerMeeting, and there was a goodholiday attendance. Someinteresting rac-ing was witnessed and several o£the fin-ishes were very exciting. First-and sec-ond favourites fared well and accountedfor most of the races, and the only winnerto return a decent dividend was Owai-

raka who dead-heated with Te Moneyin the Rangitoto Haneiicap. Horses from.J. T. Jamieson's stable were again in thelimelight in notching tivo wins, a second,and <* third. As the two winners,HighFinance and Eaglet, were at odds-on fol-lowers of the stable would not have aprofitable day. 11. Goldfinch containedhis successfulrun in winning on HighFinance and Eaglet.

An inquiry was held regarding mine in-terferencewith Miishooi1 in the WahveraHighweight, and E. Garrctt, rider ofArclieno, was suspended for two monthsunderRule 2, Part XXV., of the Rules ofRacing.

MOANA HANDICAP.Twenty-two started in the Moana Han-

dicap and Bold Archer was a pronouncedfavourite,being nearly twice as well backedas the second choice,Good Boy. AfterHone Hckc and Roman Pearl had ledearly Princess Rain drew out severallengths in the third furlong, and turnedinto the straight two lengths clear ofGoodBoy, Arihana, Parfait Amour, andHigh Tide. The leader, tired in thestraight, and GoodBoy came on to winby half a length from High Tide, whobeat Princess Rain by a similar margin.Prince of Orange was fourth, with BoldArcher and Exalted next.

Bold Archer was cut off early and wasbadly placed most of the way. GoodBoy finished well, and High Tide, whocame from a longway back,and was wideout round the bend,did likewise.

WAIWERA HIGH-WEIGHT.I'toyal Form and Glenu Bay carried

most of the money invested on the Wai-wera High-weight Handicap, and jigform-

or was slightly the better backed. Biz-arro made most of the running fromRiponAbbey, with Koyal Form in a nice posi-tion, and GlenaBay near the rear. Fourfurlongs from home Koyal Form movedup, and at the turn ho was alongside Biz-arro in front with Archcno, Eipon Ab-yey, and GleuaBay next. Royal Formcame through in the straight to beat GlenaBay by a length and a half, Archeno beingthree-parts of a length away third. Al-ways was fourth, and Bizarro fifth.

Koyal Form won well. GlenaBay dweltslightly at the start, and his rider alsolost an iron on the journey. lie made upa lot of ground over the last few fur-longs.

WYNYARD PLATE.|Ten started in the Wynyard Plate, and

Subdivision was a £127 better favouritethan Gold Money, with The Begum mostin demand of the others,who were at niceprices._ Air King and Mussie were smartto begin, and Gold Money also went offfast from the outside,while The Begumwas squeezed back. Air King and GoldMoney attended to the paeemaking andwere the leaders into the straight fromMussie, Subdivision (outside), and Lido.GoldMoney came away in the run home,and won easily by two lengths from Mus-sie, with Subdivision and Lido a neckback a dead-heat for third. Air Kingwas fifth, with Sir Mond and The Begumnext.

Gold Money always looked a winner.Subdivisionmay have done slightly betteronly for running wide at the turn, buthad no chance with the winner. Mussieand Lido went good races, Lido finishingwell. Arikitoa fell beforegoing a furlong.

SUBURBAN HANDICAP.There were only six runners in theSuburbanHaudicap, and High Finance

was an odds-on favourite, with Lady'sBoy a good second fancy. Melissa andKufflesmoved first, but soon gave way toHigh Finance,who led into the straightfrom Kuffles and Lady's Boy. Nothinghad a chance with High Finance at thefinish, and she romped home by a lengthfrom Kuffles. Lady's Boy was half alengthaway third and British King fourth,Melissa being fifth.

The 'winner is an improved marc, andis running on much better than formerly.Her latest form has been consistently good.Kuffles made an improved showing, andLady's Boy went another solid race.Melissa began well, but soon lost her posi-tion and was never dangerous.

TAKAPUNA HANDICAP.The Takapuna Jockey Club Handicap

was a good betting race, with Koyal Doul-ton, the Prodice-Desert Glow bracket,and Flying Juliet the main fancies. *LeChoucaslust several lengths at the start,and Sleepy Sol was also slow away. FlyingJuliet led early, and then Glcnstar tookcharge.- Glenstar led Flying" Juliet" byfour lengths at the half-mile, with HydeI'ark third and Prodice and Koyal Doultonmoving up. Bounding the turn Glenstar,Flying Juliet, Prodice,and Koyal Doultonwere in a bunch, and Hyde Park next.Prodice took charge at the foot of thestraight and beatKoj'al Doulton by a neck,Hyde Park being half a length awaythird.Flying Juliet was fourth, followed byGlenstarand Corinax.

Neither Royal Doulton nor Hyde Parkwas well ridden, the rider of the latterlosing his position at a critical stage.

HOBSON HANDICAP.For the Hobson . Handicap Eaglet was

an odds-on favourite, with Gemlight andCarl Idem next in request. FlyingPrinceand Gemlight moved first, and then CarlIdem had a short turn in the lead. Inthe second furlong Eaglet and Awamututook charge, and they made play into thestraight from Gemlight and Carl Idem.Eaglet hung on at the finish and beatGemlight by a neck,Carl-Idem being three-parts of a length away third. FlyingPrince was fourth and Trig fifth.

Eaglet had little to spare, and was allout. Gemlight had the worst of the run-ning round the bond, otherwise he hadevery chance.

RANGITOTO HANDICAP.Another hot favourite was found in

Tidal for the Kangitoto Handicap, and hewas nearly £000better backed than TeMoney. Chvairakamade most of therunning from Brampton and Star Comet,with Te Money and Tidal near the rear.The field bunched crossing the top, TeMoney and Tidal running through fasttobe alongsideOwairakaturning for home.In a great finish Owairakaand Te Moneydead-heated,with Tidal a head away third.Maori" Boy was fourth and War Officerfifth.

Tidal was forced to make his run onthe outside,and that justmade the differ-ence between winning and losing. Abilityto go out and secure the. lead early stoodto Owairaka,who was at a good price.

ANNIVERSARY HANDICAP.There was a big pool on the Anniversary

Handicap, and the bulk of the money wenton Ti Tree and Jolly Money, who wereboth at odds-on. Jolly Money, The Lamb,and Hipo were soon in front from an evenstart, and they raced most of the way,with Ti Tree and the others handy. JollyMoney was first round the bend fromHipo and Ti Tree and came away in "thestraight to win by two lengths from TiTree, who beat Hipo by a length and ahalf. The Thorn was a moderate fourth,and the other pair wel! beaten. JollyMoney won splendidly, and will yet im-prove.

EGMONT PROSPECTSTO-MORROW'S CARDDISCUSSED

Tho' Egraont Racing Club's.Meeting,which opens to-morrow, looks sure to bea success, that is, if good class horsescan make a success of any meeting. Quitea big percentage of the horses cardedwere seen out at 'i'rentham, seven outof the nine in the Egmont Cup hayingraced at headquarters last week. Thetrack should be in excellent order aftertho recent rains.

Tho opening event is the

I£Knightlike is reserved for this event,ho must be respected, for the class doesnot appear to be over-strong. Miss Eau-som, so far, has not struck form this sea-son, and she is coming down in theweights. Havering and Bione are use-ful, and Animated is a possibility amongstthe lightweights. Knightlike and Haver-ing may be in demand.

Itapine must be getting close to realracing trim now, but a chance is takenwith him. Vertigern is a possibility, eventhough he failed at Trentham in the Rac-ing' Club Handicap. Hynanna does notappeal yet. If Bright Glow can go thejourney, she is nicely treated with 8.3.So far.she has to prove herself over thejourney. Yoma appeals more than therest, except Mendip, who hails from theBright Glow stable. It should be a finerace, with a leaning'towardsBright Glow,Vertigern, and Yoma.

Kerenioaua Bets the seal of class on theevent, and. none could count him out des-pite his 10.0. Joy King was disappointingat I'rentham, but liable to do better. TeAfciawa at 7.10 is nicely placed, and ifLady Quex is started in this race she mustbo respected. Banket is a lightweightwhoshould be suited by the course. JRere-moana, To .Atiawa, and Banket may dobest.

Gold Cure no doubt will be favouriteand very hard to beat. GoldDawn,HomeMade,Roi de Val, and Llanore look thetough ones of the opposition on Trenthamrunning. Of the new-comers' Miss Merciaand Boundary have Bhown some form.Limosa comes from a smart stable, andmay have been reserved for this event.It looks as if Gold Cure will be troubledmost by Llanore and Home Made.

King Midas, through Pantler and Rua-nui, seems well treated in this event, andhe can carry weight. The weight maytroublo Orazone,who has some good han-dicap form to her credit. Nucleus was awinner at Marton, and Sea Star maystick on, but the more one looks at thehandicap the more one comes back toKingMidas.

Airtight'? Trentham form may makehim favourite in this event. Miss Merciaand Monsogne are fair gallopers withhandy weights, and Acred may be re-served for this race. Calamincwas ex-pected to do well in the spring, and wasthought good enough to take to the NewZealand Cup Meeting. Miss Mercia andAcred (if reserved) may show up well.

ROYAL FAMILY'S INTIMATELETTERS

A perplexing and painful problem,of which oilier phases have recentlyatlracled a good deal of attention, ispresented by the news from BerlinandLondon which we publish to-day.Letters from King George, QueenMary, and the Prince of Wales havebeen sold by public auction in Berlin,and extracts from them have beentransmitted to London for publica-tion. It is satisfactory to Icarn thatat least one London editor took stepsto prevent the publication and thatothers were protected from th"ctemptation to take a different courseby the action of the News Agencywhich had supplied the extracts. Atthe request of Lord Claud Hamilton,the King's Equerry, it has withdrawnthem from publication for twentyhours, but his statement to the "DailyNews" and the nature of the case donot leave much room for the hopethat the lime can be extended.Though he declares that "it is impos-sible offhand to decide whether theletters are genuine," his admissionthat their genuineness is "exceedinglyprobable" removes any reasonableground for doubt. But the formalreservation makes one wonder " whythere was any need for his statementon the point to be "offhand" andprovisional. Auctions in Berlin arepresumably preceded by advertise-ments, and one might have supposedthat there are British diplomats andjournalists in Berlin who would havemade it their business to give timelynotice of the proposed sale of suchdocuments as these. It also appearshighly probable that in the ordinarycourse of business the auctioneersthemselves would have taken goodcare that information should be sent,at any rate through the normal tradechannels, to the country from whichthe letters came, and to which theywere of greatest concern. Yet Lon-don seems to have been completelytaken by surprise.

The lack of publicity must be oneof ihc reasons why such poor priceswere realised. The highest figurementioned is £11..105, which wasgiven for a letter from Queen Marydaled the 19th June, 1916. Anotherfrom the King, dated the 16th Aprilin the same year, ran it close willi abid of£11 ss. The only oilier pricesmentioned are £4 6s and £6 ss, givenfor letters written by the King andthe Queen respectively away back in1893, the year of their marriage, butwhether before or after that eventwe are not told. A total of less than.£34for the four principal items cer-tainly suggests such poor advertisingas to make the oversightof theBritishauthorities less culpable than it atfirst sight appeared. Surely wftha normal amount of publicity theautograph signatures alone shouldhave been worth all the mceneyrealised even if there had been noletters accompanying them. Thesamefeeling which has suspended thepublication of the letters in Englandwould doubtless have forbidden asale at Sotheby's, but we shoiv3d bemuch surprised if a private stile toMr. Rosenbach or Mr. Gabriel Wellswould not have fetched better pricesfor four duly authenticated Royalautographs than an average of some40 dollars each. Nor would theobjections taken in England have inany way spoiled the New Yorkmarket for either a private, or apublic sale. They would, on thecontrary, have been more likely toimprove it, since the substance of theletters would have thereby acquireda special interest and importance toadd to their autograph value.

The intentions attributed to pur-chasers of the letters are a furtherindication of how badly the matterhas been mismanaged all round.

Some of the letters, says the Berlincorrespondent of the "Morning Post,"wore bought by a Genwan Prince andothers by a Berlin dealar. The inten-tion in both cases is to send the lettersto England.

But in the peculiar circumstances ofthis case publicity has had exactlythe opposite effect to what it usuallyhas. Instead of helping the marketin England it has ruined, or at anyrate depressed, it. ■ The chief valueof the letters in that market a weekago would have been to a purchaserwho desired to spare the King andthe Queen the annoyance and thedistress that the public exposure oftheir private feelings and affairswould involve, especially at a timewhen the King's protracted illnesshas loaded them with a heavy burdenof suffering and.anxiety. Tbe strengthof that feeling is testified by "thefurore created in newspaper circles"in London by the news from Berlin.Last week £100 from the SecretService Fund would have been wellspent in the purchase of the lettersin order to suppress them, and thesame amount could have been raisedfor the sai/ne purpose from scores ofprivate sources. It is not easy toassess indignation, sympathy, oranxiety in money, but the appearanceof the long message from London onthe subject certainly suggests thatescape from the trouble which themere apprehension of the public hasalready aroused would have beencheaply purchased at ten times thesum named. But after apprehen-sion has passed into certainty thisinflated value will have vanished.The mischief will have been done,and suppression will be impossible.

It-seems quite clear that it is only

the private aspect of the correspond-ence that has caused tlie excitementin London.

Tho. letters are in nowise sensational,says the. "Morning Post's" correspond-ent, merely comments on current events,and family affairs.This general testimony is confirmedby the' mention of the two letterswhich have attracted the particularattention of the London pressmen,namely,one written by the Queen when evident-ly under great emotional stress afterthe deatli of the Duke of Clarence in1893, and another nffer the King'sillness in 1925.

It would be cruel to publish suchintimately personal documents atsuch a time, but the question ofinternational complications does notarise. The smallness of the pricesconfirms this testimony to the publicunimportance of the letters, but aremark of Lord Claud Hamilton'ssuggests that he has some misgivingson one point.

The Queen's letters about tho Ger-mans, for instance, vibrato with thefeeling of that time, he says. 1 expectthat Germanswere writing and feelingmuch the same about us at that time(the death of Kitchener).

vVs the Queen's letter already men-tioned ashaving obtained the highestprice was dated the 19th June, 1916,and the Hampshire with Lord Kit-chener on board had been sunk by aGerman mine just a fortnight before,it seems probable that Lord ClaudHamilton was thinking of someexpression in that letter when hemade this remark. It would havebeen well, indeed, if the whole cor-respondence could have been pur-chased and suppressed, but thematter has gone so far thai it is noteasy to see that the twenty-four hoursallowed for further consideration canmaterially improve on the first im-pressions which Lord Claud Hamil-ton communicated to the "DailyNews":—

There's nothing we can do. If tholetters wore sold and paid for they arenow the purchasers' property. We arepowerless.

TOPICS OF THE DAY

Sir Joseph Ward has every reason tocongratulate himself and, as Ministerfor finance, to be congratulated. Heno sooner resumes his office, after along period out of-politics, than Lom-bard street turns its radiant smile uponhim. He went there to borrow £7,----000,000and got it; and he also requir-ed conversion of £12,000,000of matur-ing debt, and the market responds witha subscription of eleven andthree-quar-ter millions. True,.the indications inthe great money markets of the worldare towards lower rates for loans, andthe terms offeredby the Dominion, con-sidering its good standing in London,wore not unattractive to the big inves-tors who favour British loans. Buttrams offeredby some other applicantsfar accommodation were also attrac-tive, and yet they uict with a rathertepid reception. Sir Joseph shouldhave no difficulty in speedily disposingof the quarter of a million unappliedfor at the opening of the subscription,and lie should presently be in thu posi-'lion of announcing that the full £12,----000,000had been taken up, without ex-pense of underwriting. Consideringthat in June next the British Govern-ment itself has £2,000,000,000of 5 percent, falling due, New Zealand can besaid to have done remarkably well overits latest loan and conversion opera-tion in London,-as well, indeed, as itdid there with the last loan and con-version of the former Government.Com-plimentary to New Zealand as these op-erations undoubtedly are, they are notto bo taken as justifying similar appli-cations before the end of the currentyear. Besides there are domesticloans falling due in 1929 for whichprovision will have to bo made, as SirJoseph is, of course, fully aware, andthe London market will naturally beinterested to see how they are dispos-ed of before considering further loans.

Everything pro-war seems to have-become old, so the mellowing influenceof ago may be assumed to have tonedclown the rebellion of tho suffragettesin pro-war London. Their window-smashing crusade seems to be almost asold as Peter Lalor and Ned Kelly, andto be therefore viewable with equaldetachment by tho present generation.But in principle tho suffragettes out-did Peter Lalor and any other insur-gent who merely countered force withforce. Not content with erecting stock-ades or barricades along the law's lineof march, the suffragettes attacked theproperty—more particularly the win-dows—of any convenient third partywho may have imagined himself to bonon-combatant,but who suddenlyfoundthat ho was being used as a hostageto ransom some voting Bill that wasentangled in the morasses of a Houseof Commons Committee. Barely hassociety been so audaciously black-mailed by physical attacks upon por-tions of its anatomy that might havebeen regarded, in any genuine footballmatch, as out of bounds. By deliber-ately not playing to the rules, by sacri-ficing all principle to quo imperious ob-jective (in itself unobjectionable), theladies created a precedent that wouldbo socially and nationally disruptive if-universally applied. They achieved byan Indirect Action that in some re-spects makes Direct Action look silly.Then cam© the war, and suffragettes'eminent war service, and healing timeand circumstances,so that to-day aConservative Prime Minister unveils astatue to the Indirect Aetionist leader.In this gesture Jics some philosophy.Perish tho thought that there shouldlurk in it any politics.

The- light over less pny for coal-get-ting pauses, while tho Australian par-ties study the opening rounds of thebout over moro hours for timber-work-ing. More hours and less pay are bothphases of deflation, and probably thecoal industry in New South Wales haseven more need of deflation than thetimber industry, but tho approach, totlio timber battle has been renderedeasier through its being an Arbitra-tion Court industry, ■which Newcastlecoal is not. Mr. Bavin, New SouthWales Premier., having gone to the coal

conference with proposals for aboutfour shillings a ton off selling price andone shilling off hewingrate, and Jiav-ing mot with a refusal by miners, stopsto take- stock of tho position. ButJudge Lukin's defied timber award isin a different category altogether. Itcarries with it the power of the Court,moral as well as legal, and it providesa battle-ground which tho employerscan hardly decline. All the advantagesof legal right, time, and circumstanceappear to bo with them. But, win orlose,tho scars of this battle are goingto remain in tho timber and coal indus-tries, "and in others. The ArbitrationCourt in Australia has not kept thepeace. It has merely provided a legalmethod of declaring war. Will thereever be peace?

Concerning the National IndustrialCouncil projected by the Melchettpeace-ii)-industry drive an interestingdiscussion has arisen. People are fa-miliar with tlio national organisationof industry in two hostile camps—em-ployer and employee—but many stillshy at it when the idea is to fuse thetwo factions into one. Employershavetheir national machinery, and so haveemployees, with all the potentialitiesfor damage that such factional organ-isations possess, but a- joint NationalIndustrial Council awakens visions ofa Parliament of Industry, ana there- aresome employers, also somo employees,who shrink from seeing the parties at-tempting to do together what they al-ready do separately and unchecked. To.the British Engineers' Association (em-ployers), the N.I.C. is objectionablebecause labour organisations are notundilutedly economic and are more or

less tinged with party politics. Butit is too late to bleach political party-ism out of either side. If politicalismis a bar to jointaction, then the partiesare prevented from trying about theonly ' device that might, if successful,take the wind out of the sails of theparty organiser. Sido by side withthe engineer employers' decision is theplea, of railway employers for sales-manship on thu part of their employees.If employees can bo salesmen in spare-time, regardless of political colour, whyshould sucli colour invalidate servicein the N.I.C? Subordination of Par-liament is another matter, and one thatmight be guarded against.

On thefollowing day, the pupils at tlic variouscolleges—Wellington College, Welling-ton Girls' College, Wellington EastGirls' College, St. Patrick's College,Wellesley College, Scots College, Rou-gotai Boys' College, anil tho TechnicalCollege High School—will enter upontheir first terra in the New Year.Busy Day on the Harbour.

Tho Wellington Harbour was veryactive*yesterday, when therewas prac-tically a. constant stream of vessels,both coastal and overseas, coming aridgoing. Sixteen vessels arrived duringthe day, and twenty left. Tho arri-vals included tho electric tanker Bruns-wick, which was a constant source ofinterest all day as she lay at thoThoi'iidon breastwork. The arrival oftho intercolonial steamer Marama fromSydney and tho departure for SanFrancisco of tho R.M.S. Tahiti kepttho Queen's Wharf busy.'The-transportworkers are holding their annual picnicto-day, and no cargo was handled ontho wharves, which consequently pre-sented an almost deserted appearance.Signal Station Obscured.

Seldomis the signal station on MountVictoria obscured by mist, but. thismorning when many waterside workersand their families looked in the- direc-tion of the station to determine whe-ther the four-flag signal postponing theHarbour Board picnic was being flown,a mist hid the summit of Mount Vic-toria. Except to those living in thevicinity of the signal station, it wasimpossible to saywhether the flags werebeing displayed, and Information andthe Tolls Office on the wharf were keptbusy for some time assuring inquirersthat, the picnic was being held.Ascent of the Footstool, Mt. Cook.

Another was added to this season'slist of successfulclimbs in tho South-ern Alps, when Mr. Jackson, of Wel-lingtonCollege, with Guide Lud Mahan,made an ascent of tho Footstool (9073feet), Mt. Cook, on Sunday last. Theclimbers, judging tho weather to bepromising, left the Hermitage late onSaturday afternoon, making tho SeftonBivouac that evening. They left thoBivouac in the small hours of Sundaymorning. Tho snow was in excellentcondition for crampons, so that no timewas wasted in kicking stops. The wea-ther was perfect. Tho loose rock ridgecaused a small amount of" difficulty, butnot sufficient to prevent the mountaineersfrom reaching the summit in good time.Thanks to the . clear atmosphere, thoWest Coastpresented a sweeping view,and even tho waves were distinguish-able as they broke on the shore.

Future of the Tobacco Industry.Confidencein the future of the to-

bacco industry in New Zealand is ex-pressed by Mr. J. Pottinger, a tobaccomanufacturer, of India, who arirvedfrom Australia this week hy the Maun-ganui. For the past eight months Mr.Pottinger has been travelling in sub-tropical countries and in the SouthPacific, and has been studying the to-bacco trade in connection witli d'Aolop-ments in tho temperate zones. Thetrade generally, ho finds, is much im-proved, and the worst of the recentslump is now over. In tho Islands hofound possibilities of tho cultivation ofcigar tobacco, and said tho enterpriseof tobacco growers was evident there asin the Dominion. He expects to inves-tigate conditions here during his visit.Mr. Pottinger will bo a guest of Mr.Alma Baker, and admitted Jhat onereason for his coming to New Zealandwas his approaching marriage with MissAlma Baker.Contrary to Intention.

The storm tragedy that was enactedin North Otago recently was not with-out its elements of humour. For in-stance, one farmer, with his windowscrashing about him, became suddenlyanxious for the welfare.of 30 pulletsthat were in a fowlyard. He placed akerosene tin over his head and ran outto ascertain the welfare of his treasur-ed brood. The rattling of the hail-stones on tho tin so alarmed the birdsthat they rushed from shelter into thestorm, and everyone of them was de-stroyed. Another farmer placed a horsecover over his head to go to a nearbyfield to bring a horse to the stable. Theanimal became so excited at fie appari-tion that it lashed out and knocked itsowner sprawling to the ground. A catsought shelter beneath a.hivo of bees,but' the wind upset tho hive, and theeat was seen scampering away withhundreds of bees adhering to it. Thesejiro only « few of many incidents thathave boon narrated (says the "South-land News "}♦ __

Path of the Storm.The storm last week, although brief,

was one of unusual severity, and itseffects may still be seen on the beachesround the city. At IslandBay the waterwashed over'the esplanade, and all thetotara seats were smashed and carriedout to ■ sea. In the children's bathingshelter the Australian jarrah seats,made of stout planks measuring twelveby two inches, were snapped -in half.Timber from the shelters was carriedunder the bathing sheds and so firmlywedged in the sand that it had to beremoved by a horse and chains. Bow-ing boats on the beach were smashed,and for some time afterwards work-men were employed clearing sand fromthe esplanade.Annual Shark Hunt.

A large shoal of dogfish and othersmall kinds of sharks had a bad timeat Governor's Bay on Sunday. Theycame up in shallow water over themudflats, says the "Lyttelton Times."Three young men who were staying atthe bay, changing into bathing suitsand arming themselves with a sabre, acutlass, a scimitar, a bayonet, and twohatchets, set out in water up to theirknees to give battle. The slaughterwas great, and largo numbers of sea-gulls gathered for the feast. The mud-Hats presented a curious sight at deadlow tide. In almost every directioncould be seen dead fish, and on eachof them sat seagulls. Every year aboutthis lime largo shoals of dogfish visitthe mudflats at low tide. This huntingis an annual affair with the young men,who claim that it has most other formsof sport well beaten for thrills.American Economist's Visit.

The workings of the ConciliationCouncil and Arbitration Court, our landlegislation, and the operations of thevarious producers'- associations, areparticularly interesting Colonel L. H.Holt, Professor of Economics,Govern-ment and History, at the West PointMilitary Academy, U.S.A., who arrivedat Auckland by the Niagara on Mondayon a brief visit to New Zealand. "Yourexperiments in social legislation haveattracted the attention of all those in-terested in that study in America,"said Colonel Holt, in explaining the ob-ject of Ills visit. In spite of his aca-demic distinctions and the fact that heis the author of numerous text-books,says the "Auckland Herald," ColonelHolt is not, to outward semblance,a"Ijookish" man, but has the litbc, ath-letic air of the student of the out-of-doors. After a fortnight in New Zea-land he will visit Australia. There heintends to see Duntroon Military Col-lege.Dust from Australia.

Explaining the phenomenon of lastOctober, when quantities of dust fromAustralia fell in. the South Island ofNew Zealand, after a journey of 2000miles, Dr. Kidson, New Zealand'smeteorologist, stated at the ScienceCongress that the circumstances whichcontributed to tho transport of suchlargo quantities of dust and its highconcentration were, first, very dry andstormy periods in Australia, duringwhich enormous quantities of dust wereraised into the _upper levels of the airof the interior of Australia, the amountbeing increased by repeated additionsday after day and by a convergenceof supplies from various parts of thedrier interior of the continent. Thenat tho proper time strong north-westwinds, frequently reaching galo force,arose and were practically continuousfor several days, so that it was possiblefor the dust to be transported rapidlyto Now Zealand, tho journey probablyoccupying between 30 and GOhours, ac-cording to circumstances.Interest in the Brunswick.

"If cleanliness is next to godliness,the officers and crow of tho electrictanker Brunswick must h.ivo no needfor a chaplain on board," was a vis-itor's rumark yesterday afternoon afteran inspection of tho vessel. A descentinto tho engino-room proves tho truthof the assertion that the Brunswick isprobably the cleanest vessel afloat, forth'o daintiest of summer frocks couldwithstand tho ordeal without subse-quently,showing a blemish. Besides thocleanliness of the engine-room, anotherfeature which struck visitors was thecoolness of tho air below. All thosewho visited the Brunswick yesterdayafternoon, and they were many, wereamazed at this last word in oiltankers, coming away full of admira-tion of the genius of those responsiblefor her design and construction. Theywere pleased, too, to find that theBrunswick was built and equipped inBritain, and that a New Zealandorhad a hand in the designing of tho

It is reported that a roadman,work-ing about ten miles from Wanganui,found a kiwi sitting on two eggs, buthis dog killed tho bird before ho recog-nised it. A young kiwi about to behatched was found in one egg, whichwas broken, and the man took thoother homo, and placed it under a sit-ting hen in the hope of hatching it,but without success.Praise of New Zealand.

Though the lecture season in GreatBritain' is only half through,' writes"The Post's" London correspondent,tho High Commissioner'spublicity sec-tion has already supplied slides formore; than 500 lectures in the UnitedKingdom. Complimentary referencestothe slides are usually made by lecturers,who appreciate the help afforded. Hereis a typical tribute received by theHigh Commissioner from Mr. John B.Hughes, of Llanelly, Wales: "Theslides were really good, and my testi-mony to your county is summed up inmy declaration that of all countries Ihave visited—they include all Europeand Greece,Sahara, North Africa, Aus-tralia, United States of America, andCanada—New Zealand is the one Iwant the most to see again."

FAIR WEATHER

BUT CONDITIONS UNSTABLE

Since Tuesday morning there . hasbeen a change in tho pressuro distri-bution over the Dominion. Yesterdayafternoon a small high pressure centredeveloped over Otago in the rear of thedepression passing to the eastward. Theformer has intensified somewhat, andbarometer readings are now higher intho south than in the north. North-erly or westerly winds have given placeto winds of a more variable character,southcrlics being experienced in a fewplaces, and the winds as a whole do-creasing in force. Scattered rain fellduring the night on tho West Coast oftho South Island and in the neighbour-hood of Cook Strait. This morning'sreports indicated fair conditions inwestern districts for the most part, butat 9 a.m. it was dull on the East Coastbetween Giabornc and Kaikoura. .

There is still, unfortunately, an in-tense depression over tho western Tas-man Sea. Moderate northerly windsmay be expected south of Westport andKaikoura; elsewhere breezes will bovariable, but with easterlies ruling.Later on freshening northerlies may boexpected, the weather being mainlyfair at first. It will probably becomeless settled in tho west and south oftho South Island, with rain developing,cloudy conditions generally spreadingto other parts. Temperatures in thomain should continue mild to warm.

ECONOMIC MISSION

AUSTRALIAN REPORT

COOLNESS OF RECEPTION

(From "The Post's" Representative.)SYDNEY, 17th January.

It was probably, clue to the foolishexcitement'of extravagant expectationsthat tho reception of the report of theBritish Economic Mission which touredAustralia has seemed cool. Indicationsare not lacking that disappointment ex-ists in some quarters at. the nature oftho report, which, on the whole, didnot tell Australia anything Australiadid not already know. There, weresome people who caused themselves frobelieve that the arrival of the missionmeant that Australia was about to en-ter a new era. All along they haddisparaged Australian policy and insti-tutions. They arc chagrined that noteven tho mildest form of revolutionwill follow tho presentation of tho re-port, but instead, as the Melbourne"Age" says, "Australia will- go onas she has been going, meeting andconquering her difficulties as they arise,striving to realise her national aspira-tions in tho way that appears to herpeople to be the best." The reportsuggests 310 royal road to success, andwith few exceptions is a remarkableendorsement of Australian policy gen-erally. It is this particularly that hasannoyed tho political opponents ofthose who are in power, and has dis-appointed those States who main-tained that Federal policy was "allwrong." "The report," says the"Age," "was precisely what thosewho retained their sense of proportionexpected, it to be. It is an interestingreview of some of tho major publicquestions, a collation of facts gathered,and a reflection of opinions imbibedin the course of a necessarily hurriedtour over a vast area."

To a great majority of Australianswho take an intelligent interest ivtheir country the facts cited are famil-iar, it tells nothing new, but thatdoes not make the report any less valu-able or.less significant. On this pointthe Melbourne "Herald" said: "Themembers of the delegation came to Aus-tralia when we had already been drivento realise that all was not going wellwith Australia. We had felt.for sometime that as a business concern wewere not getting the results that theopportunities offered. We had our-selves formed a shrewd idea of ourweaknesses and our errors, and wewere»making- plans to see if we couldput right what we suspected as beingwrong. . . , The report bears out thehighest expectations. Nlt is, as wehoped, a critical review. .. . But thecriticism is very frankly reassuring iffor no other reason than it is directlyagainst the very conditions we haveourselves recognised as faulty."

On all hands there is praiso for thecomprehensiveness of the report. TheState Premiers have been silent regard-ing it, and it is evident that they fearto express an opinion without a clearknowledge of the views of their col-leagues. They admit the "weightycharacter of the conclusions," and the"food for thought that they will pro-vide for all political and economicalthinkers," and mako other platitudin-ous references, but hide their realthoughts. An exception to the appar-ent coolness of the Premiers is provid-ed by the Premier of Tasmania, andthis is because the mission found thatTasmania was suffering serious disa-bilities, something that everybodyknow beforehand. Commercial men ro-iterato that the report contains noth-ing now, and they cannot sue that anygood will come out of it, but theywore probably among those who ex-pected the report to contain severecriticism of the politicians, and "theyarc disappointed because this has been,to a very marked degree, avoided. Infact, the general reception of the re-port must confirm the mission's viewthat Australians on the whole are avery casual people. The report is ex-tremely valuable for one fact alone—the emphasis it places upon the sound-ness of Australia's financial position.Coming from men of such prominencein the commercial and financial world,such a statement must be of incalcu-lable benefit in London, and its valuewill probably be reflected next timeAustralia goes on the money market.If the report has re-established Aus-tralia's financial position in the OldCountry it will have a remarkableachievement to its credit."

The wasteful use of loan money isa charge to which Australia must pleadguilty, but here again Australia hasbeen" assured by the delegation thatthere will be a substantial improve-ment in the future arising from a vali-dation of the financial agreement be-tween the States and the Common-wealth, and the establishment of theLoan Council which now, regulates bor-rowing by all tho Governments. Thereport credits Australia with the witto see her own mistakes, and becauseof that can hardly be regarded as de-pressing.

TRAMWAY TRACKS

DIVERSION OF PETROL TAX

CITY COUNCIL'S PROTEST


CHKISTCHURCH, This Day.The suggestion made by the deputa-

tion representing the Christchurch.Tramway Board that waited on theMinister of Public Works (the Hon. E.A. Ransom) ou Monday, that a portionof the money now accruing to theChristchurchCity Councilfrom the pet-rol tax (about £7400) should be allo-cated to the Tramway Board for the-maintenance of the strip of roadwaylying between double tram tracks, hasdrawn a strong protest from the CityCouncil.

The Deputy-Mayor (Mr. D. Gf.Sulli-van, M.P.), in a statement made yes-terday, pointed out that the council re-quires this money to pay interest andsinking fund on its £220,000highwaysloan, and it was assured by the Hon.K. S. Williams, Mr. Ransom's predeces-sor in office,that the amount would notbe tampered with in any way. On thestrength of Mr. Williams's assurance,the ratepayers had been assured, bo-fore the poll authorising the loan wastaken, that no rate would be imposedto meet the charges of the loan, andon that understanding the ratepayershad authorised the loan. The positionwas that the Tramway Board had beenendeavouring for the past year to in-duce the Governmentto deflect a por-tion of tho City Council's share of thepetrol tax into its own coffers. If thoboard would confine itself to au en-deavour to obtain a portion of thenational sum derived from the petroltax he would not bo so seriously con-cerned.

Begarding the statement that theboard had an unassailable case, Mr. Sul-livan said he was informed that it wasin accordance with world-wide practicefor tramway administrations to main-tain at tlioil1 own cost the portion ofrouding between the tramway tracksand eighteen inches on either side ofthe tracks, iind if . the board's requestwore acceded to it would mean that.Christehureh was to be put on a. dif-ferent footing.

CORRESPONDENCEIS SOCIALISM A MENACE?

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Your correspondent "Reformer1'

reminds one of one of those persons tW6are pleased to style themselves "self-mademen." He states: "To gain this high idealSocialismresorts to violence and class'war." Surely he should havequalified thatsentence. Would he accuse the Jate KierHardie, H. M. Hyndman, Ramsey Mac-Donald,or any of the many great expon-ents of Socialism of violence? I hardly;think he intended what he wrote.

He also states: "There is equalityamong men." I uncompromisingly assertthat no two men are equal, either phy-sically, intellectually, ethically, or in any-other human attribute, and that condition!is beyond human adjustment. Perfectionmay bo the prerogative of Nature, hjft> uptill now we have not any evidence thatNature has produced the perfect man.(This is not a theological subject.) There..is bad in the best of us, etc. Will yourcorrespondentbe good enough to quote thename of any person in the world's history;who became rich from "hard ploddingtoil," without a stroke of luck, or someinnate faculty in him for which condition!he is no more responsible than the inmatesof our asylums arc for their condition.Modern society honours—and frequently;glorifies—the person with an abnormaldevelopment for amassing wealth,but theperson with an equally abnormal develop-ment for mechanics,or practical engineer-*ing—well, the boss may make him fore*man, and there he stops.

"Reformer" also writes: "It is rightthat .'ill men should be on equal terms iveducation." Here we are facedwith thesocial aspect. The children of the labour-"ing class are grouped in classes of fifty ormore, and in addition the children o£thocasually employed are frequently inade-quately nourished. Does our presentsystem hold out any hope of a change forthe better? We have it on the highest'authority that the tendency of the presentsystem is for the rich to get richer andthe poor to get poorer. Socialism hasbeen treated so long as a "bogey" thatmauy people refuse to consider it in anyother light. Socialists are simply thepioneers of social improvement,and how-ever much we may blind ourselves to thofacts, they are winningall along the line.The pioneers of social reform of onehundred years ago—and we have so littleknowledge of them—little dreamed of ourpresent conditions. What of the nexthundred years? Long before our pre-sent idea of Socialism is half consum-mated, the pioneers of a grander, nobler,-and at present inconceivable system ofbetterment will be in the field,fighting andstruggling, ever onward and upward.—rlam, etc.,

QUO FATA VOCANT.

(To the Editor.)Sir,—l also read with interest the two-

letters in your paper under the headings"Socialism'sRecords" and "Is Socialism,a Menace?" "Reformer" says that "oneman having higher ideals and. qualitiesenables him to cam more money than hisless qualified brother-citizen." I cannotagreewith the writer there,for I caunofcsee why "high ideals" and money shouldgo together. What does the writer wishto conveywhen he wrote the works "high,ideals " Was it their strict meaning?Having thought the matter over, I, forone, cannot condemn Socialism—asIknowit—wholeheartedly. But I should thinkthat "Reformer" and the New ZealandWelfare League have nothing to fear solong as' the present system under whichwe live solves our problems for us and ourlegislators mako an earnest endeavour tafremove striking anomalies.—l am, etc.,

OBSERVER, "

RAILWAY TRIPS

(To the Editor.)Sir,—As one who had the privilege of]

mukhuj the week-end trip to Stratfordto view the scenic beauty of MountICgmont, I do not: think it necessary tooll'er any apology for bonding you a few;lines oh the experiences of those whohappened to make Stratford their home oilthis trii^. About an hour before reach*ing Stratford representatives of Strat-.ford's Reception Committeeboarded thetrain and made known to all what hadbeen arranged so as to make their stay ivthe town as pleasant as possible in thelimited time at our disposal. Many;Stratford residents were at the stationto greet the visitors, and deep indeed wasthe disappointment when only some iOor 50 people stepped from the train'instead of 400 or 500 as was expected. 16appears to me that there should be betterco-ordination and co-operation between the*Railway Department on the one hand' andthe Eeception Committeeson the other,in order that the travelling public lnayjbe acquainted of what is going on in their;interests at the other end. If a thingis worth doing at all it is worth doingwell, and so I would,suggest that only:one town at a time should be includedin these special trips and for the Railway;Department to get in touch with theReception Committeeand then for bothto put out a joint circular giving thefullest detailed particulars both from theRailway point of view and also the town!that desires to act the part of host tothe visitors.

Now, Mr. Editor, as the mouthpiece foethe citizens of Wellington and the meanswhereby we make ourselves known to theoutside world, might I ask that you tender;the sincere .thanks of Wellington to thecitizens of Stratford for the way the.vworked for the pleasure and happiness oi:your fellow-citizens,and tell them also thatthose of our number who were with themfully enjoyed and appreciated all that wasdove for their entertainment. We hada wonderful six hours viewing the beauti-ful scenery on Mount Egmont and itsbeautiful bush, waterfalls, etc., and thesight of the plains of Taranaki is one*never to be forgotten. Our deepestthanks are also due to those'who actedas honorary guides, both ladies and gen-tlemen,and to the gentlemen who organ-ised the parties.—l am, etc.,

"SERVICEAND SMILES."

RECENT MURDER CASES

(To the Editor.)Sir,—ls it not a. matter of grave con-

cern: the number o£murders committed in!this country, and the perpetrators thereofescape the clutches of the law? We haveon record quite a number, and lest weforget, the author of these few remarksapropos same, would like to mention someof quite recent years—namely, the oldcouple, 'Mr. and Mrs. Hammond, down.South,Miss Scarfe (of Christchurch), Mrs.Oats (Aramoho, Wnnganui), the China-man, of Long Acre, Wanganui, and so far,;Elsie Walker, and there are, I believe^one or two more, which I have forgotten*Now, Sir, it appears to mo, in view ofCoronerHunt's recent, remarks anent theinquest on Elsie Walker that there is a,growing feeling in our Police Departmentof "can't be bothered,"and if that feel-ing does prevail, what is the cause? If it's,discontent then wo must expect ineffici-ency. If, on the other hand, it's not in-efficiency, then what's wrong? Perhapsthe Hon., the Minister of Justice can say,■—I am. etc.,

WEATHER FORECASTSMETEOROLOGISTS' WORK

PRINCIPLES OUTLINED

fcSome of the mysteries attaching to thebusiness of weather forecasting wereswept away by Dr. E. Kidson,Director ofthe Dominion Meteorological Services,inthe course of a popularlecture on the sub-ject delivered at Auckland under the aus-pices of the ScienceCongress.

"The weather of to-morrow depends onthe state of the atmosphere to-day," wasone of the fundamental principles laiddown by Dr. Kidson in describing themethods followed by his office. Thechanges of the sun's heat were so smallfrom day to day that.they could be leftout of account. Oncethe existing condi-tions were known, the meteorologist ap-plied certain physical principles and know-ledge gained by experience to deduce thefutureweather developments. Theweatherin any given locality depended also on theweather for enormous distances round iton all sides. The meteorologist, therefore,sought to get as much information as hecouid from the whole surrounding region.

In New Zealand two daily forecastswere mode,based on observations at 0a.m.' and i p.m. Telegraphed reportscame in from over 50 New Zealand sta-tions,wliick "were fairly well distributed,exceptfor a blank on the west coast, southof Greymouth. Before noon reports fromSydney and Hobart arrived, and early inthe afternoonreports came in from twelveadditional Australian stations. Ship's re-ports came in from time to time, and be-fore 3 p.m. twenty-tour New Zealand sta-tions and Norfolk Island and the Chathamsmade reports.

"Hitherto this forecasting lias all beendone by two officers, and when ,one ofthem is away for a protracted period youcan understand that to " the other theweather ceases to be an amusing subjectof conversation,".Dr. Kidson said. Whenthe material had all been gathered thenext thing was to plot it on a weatherchart, so that it could be appreciated.Atmospheric pressures were indicated bydraw-lines of equal pressure, or isobars,and it would be found that there wasconsiderable system about them.

With the aid of a number of instructiveslides the lecturer showed the movementsand nature of cyclones and anti-cyclones,and of different types of clouds,and ex-plained in detail the meaning of a numberof typical weather charts. He said therewas ample evidence that the 11-years' cycleof solar activity produced fluctuationsofthe same period in the earth's weather,but the relation between sunspots andweather was very complicated. He hadfounda close correspondence in the regionfrom Eastern Australia to New Zealandbetween the extent of the northward andsouthward movement of the anti-cyclonecentres or of the tracks they followedand the number of sunspots.

In years when the number of simspots■was at a maximum the anti-cyclones movedfurther northwards than usual in winterand spring, and further southwards insummer. There was less westerly wind inthe upper air at sunspot maximum than atsunspot minimum. We were just past asunspot maximum now, and the year be-fore last, and still more last year, wereremarkable for the comparative absenceof westerly wind.

GODDARD GUILTY

A CORRUPT CONSTABLE

SENTENCED AND FINED

THE NIGHT CLUB CASE

United " Press Association—By Electric Tele--graph—Copyright.

(Eeceived 30th January, 11 a.m.)LONDON, 29th January.

At the conclusion of the case againstox-Station Sergeant Goddard, of theMetropolitan Police, and Mrs. Meyi-ick,and an Italian named Bibuffi on chargesof. corruption in connection with Lon-don night clubs, Mr. Justice Avory, insumming up for over two hours, saidthat it was useless to parade Goddard'arecord in the Force, when the prisonerhad to admit that for years ho hadsystematically amassed money by abreach of the regulations, that he hadmonetary transactions with keepers ofdisorderlyhouses,andbetted with streetbookmakers,whom it was his duty to

, arrest. Goddard was admittedly inIpossession of bank notes, numbered suc-cessively^which camefrom the accountsjof Mrs. Meyrick, Bibuffi, and AnnaGadda. It was a crucial question whe-ther the notes came into his possessionbychance.

The Judge pointed out that Goddardrented different safe-deposits in 1923and 1925, and moved the bulk of thenotes to a new depositoryunder a falsename in 1928.

Dealing with Goddard'sanswer to thecharges, the Judge said that, accordingto his statement, everything he touchedturned to gold.If he backed a horse it almost always

won. If he only invested money insweotstuffs to be sold at Wembley, ifhe dealt in foreign currency, and whenhe dealt in copyright songs, ho alwaysmade thousands. No doubt the jnrywould, think these stories a grossexag-geration. His story of tho charactersof Meyrick and Bibufli was not such asto make it improbablethey would com-mit the offenceof bribery.

The jury after 165 minutes' absence,found all the accused guilty, Goddardwas sentenced to eighteen months' hardlabour on each of four counts, the termsto be concurrent, fined £2000, and order-ed to pay the costs of prosecution, esti-mated at £2000. Mrs. Meyrick andEibuffi were each sentenced to fifteenmonths' imprisonmentwith hard labour.

His Honour, in addressing Goddard,said:—"You have wrecked what mighthave been a noble career in the Bolicefor the sake of filthy lucre. You hopedto live in luxury on unlawfully amassedmoney which, would not have broughtyou a moment's peace. You ought tohave written in your pockctbook—

"Turn from glitteringgold thy scorn-ful eye,"Nor sell for gold what gold can

CHEISTCEUKOH, This DayA proposal to allow radio broadcast-

ing to form more or less part of theschool curriculum was mado to the Min-ister of Education (the Hon. 11. At-niorc) by Mr. .<s*!. E. Straehan, directorof Badio Station 3ZO. Mr. Strachansuggested that a Commission should besot up to inquire into the whole ques-tion of radio broadcasting in tho Do-minion, with particular reference tothe establishment ,of a broadcastingservice independent of tho present sys-tem. He said that his station asked forno financial assistance from the Govern-ment or from listeners-in.

With reference to the schools, Mr.Straehan said that a number of sub-jects were suitable for instruction bywireless.

Mr. Atmore: "It would be very ex-pensive to equip all the schools with re-ceiving sets?"

Mr. Strachan said that the cost of aset to give effectivereception for twohundred miles would bo from £20 to£25. The sets would be a God-send tocountry schools,where one teacher wascalled upon to teach children of allages.

In reply, the Minister asked Mr.Strachan to forward particulars as tothe extent to which broadcasting wasbeing used in other schools of othercountries.

PORK SUBSIDY

PRODUCER NOT GETTING IT


DUNEDIN, This Day.When a letter from theDominion exe-

cutive asking for an expression ofopinion on the export of pork, was readat a meeting of the Otago ProvincialExecutive to-day, Mr. Preston said thatthe farmers were exorcised in their mindover the fact that the pork subsidy wasnot being paid out in tho manner origin-ally intended. The subsidy was goingto the exporter, instead of to tho pro-ducer. Some means of diverting thepayment to tho producer would have tobo found, or tho subsidy would notbenefit the industry in any way.This question, together with the ex-isting system of land valuation, wasreferred to the provincial conference.

Tho contract has been let,and at present the men are engagedin excavating tho sito of tho building.It is hoped to have- tho hatchery work-ing by the end of April, and shortlyafter that it is probable that.tho Clin-ton hatchery will bo abandoned alto-gether.

SALVATION ARMYGENERAL V. COUNCIL

CASE IN HIGH COURT

LEGAL ARGUMENT

United Press Associate—By Electric Tele-graph—Copyrlcht.

(Received 30th January, 1 p.m.)LONDON, 29th January.

At tho resumption of tho hearing be-fore the High Court of his applicationfor an injunction on behalf of GeneralBramwell Booth against the SalvationArmy High Council,Mr. W. A. Greene,K.C., regretted that tho parties hadfailed to reach an amicable solution oftho position. It was certain that themembers of the Army desired to effect aradical change in the constitution,which General Booth felt should be de-fended, thinking it an attack on what

the founder laid down.Mr. Simmonds,for the Council, pro-

tested that there was nothingin the evi-dence to support such a suggestion.

Mr. Greene replied that the Generalhad raised points which must sooner orlater bo decided. The first was as tothe position of the 1904 deed poll, underwhich the General might be deprived ofoffice. Secondly, there was the pro-cedure under the deed; for example,whether the Council should not formu-late charges and allow GeneralBooth tobe heard. That was the privilege Gen-eral Booth desired to be given.

Mr. Greeneasked that tho status quobe preserved till matters in dispute weredetermined.

Mr. Vaisey, for GeneralBooth, saidthat it was contended that the Counciladjudicated unfitness in the terms ofthe modified deed of 1904,under whichtho Generalcould be expelled, if founda lunatic or of four-fifths of the Com-missioners were satisfied that he waspermanently incapacitated for his dutiesby mental or physical infirmity. Inthat event the vacating General's rightof appointinghis successorbecame void,but a vital clause provided that oncea General was elected the election couldnot be invalidated by any flaw in thesummoning, the constitution or proceed-ings of tho High Council or any other

Mr. Vaisey read a medical certificateto show that there was no question ofmental incapaeitation.

Mr. Simmonds read Dr. Hurren's affi-davit that not till now was the validityof iJie 1904 poll questioned. Further,General Booth since May of last yearhail been unable to carry out a tenth ofhis duties. An affidavit on behalf ofthe Council stated that even if GeneralBooth fulfilled the doctors' expectations,he would be unable to carry the strainof Generalship.

Mr. Vaisey read countervailing certi-ficates that he would be fit for duties insix months.

Mr. Greene emphasised tho Council'somission to state the grounds of Gen-eral Booth's unfitness.

The case was adjourned.

LONDON, 29 th January.A furore has been created in. news-

paper circles by the receipt of a newsagency dispatch from Berlin describ-ing the auction of intimate letters, al-Ilegedly from King George, Queen Mary,and tho Prince of Wales to relatives in|France. Extracts from the letters, par-ticularly onewritten by the Queenwhenevidently under great emotional stressafter tho death of tho Duke of Clar-ence in 1893, and another after theKing's illness ii 1925,were transmittedto London. Immediately at least oneLondon oditor took steps to secure sup-pression of the extracts in England, onthe ground that Their Majesties' pri-vate correspondence should not be dis-closed without their consent, and, fur-thermore, Their Majesties should bespared the pain of seeing family con-fidences in the public Press at a timewhen tho King was lying ill, and theQueen occupied with great domesticanxiety.

PROBABLY AUTHENTIC.Lord Claud Hamilton, tho King's

Equerry, interviewed for the "DailyNews" at Buckingham Palace, said itwas impossible' off-hand to decide whe-ther tho letters were genuine, but itwas exceedingly probable that theywere authentic. "The Queen's lettersabout the Germans, for instance, vib-rate with the fooling of that time. Iexpect that Germanswere writing andfeeling- much tho same about us at thattime (tho death of Kitchener). There'snothing wo can do. If tho letters weresold and paid for, they are now thejnirchasers' property, We are power-less."

Later the news agency withdrew thequotations for twenty-four hours, attho request of Lord Hamilton, who willmake a statement to-day.

MUSICAL EUROPE

A VISITOR'S IMPRESSIONS

Australian Press Association.LONDON, 28th January.Bernard Hoinze has concluded a

most interesting tour of the Continent,but expresses regret that ho was un-able to visit Russia, where it takes twomonths to get a permit, because Russianart is progressing marvellously. Ho vis-ited Brussels, Leipzig, Berlin, Warsaw,Vienna, and Paris, and declares thatthere is undoubtedly a magnificentmusical' recovery throughout Europe.The Berlin Philharmonic is playing bet-ter than ever. He was prevented fromconducting Warsaw's splendid orches-tra owing to influenza, but was invit-ed to do so next year. An amusing in-cident occurred when he was arrestedon the boundary of Germany andPoland. Polish officials declared hispassport not in order, but the produc-tion of the Melbourne Lord Mayor'sletter effected an immediate release.Vienna gave the most thrills. Thereall musical doors were opened and thePresident of Austria gave him a recep-tion. Mr. Heinze was also the guest ofStrauss, who was most delighted andpresented him with a handsome auto-graphed volume and a facsimile manu-script of the score "Too und Verk-larung.'' Vienna runs three senior per-manent orchestras and several juniors,with a magnificent permanent opera.Mr. Heinze was invited to conductthere in 1930. He did not notice amusical revival in Britain, where thingsseemed at a standstill compared withthe Continent. Vienna, with eight mil-lions of people in the whole territoryof Austria, sot the world an example ofa musieally-eonfereneed ContinentalConservatoriuin with directors whosemethods were similar to Melbourne's.The visitor obtained new ideas regard-ing the most modern developments."Undoubtedly," said Mr. Heinze, "myvisit has -been advantageous to mywork. I have heaps of new ideas. lamemphatic that it is desirable thatMelbourne should establish a perman-ent orchestra."

LONDON, 28th January.The Prince oi: Wales left for New-

castle to-night, and after breakfast to-morrow begins the most remarkabletour over undertaken by an heir to thethrone. Simplicity will be the keynoteof his motor tour, which will cover ahundred distressed mining townshipsand villages in Northumberland andDurham. ?

To-morrow he will briefly confer withthe Lord Mayor ana officials of theminers' distress fund, after which hewill set out on an unannounced itiner-. ary, because he desires to meet minersand their families in their own homes.He fears that if tho route were pub-lished they would do their utmost tohide their poverty. He will set outdaily with a packet of sandwiches inhis pocket and tour 60 or 70 miles be-tween 9 o 'clock in the morning and 6o 'clock in the evening, makingfriendlyand unexpected calls at miners' homes.Ho will also visit training centreswhere miners' boys are learning farm-ing with a view to migration andwhere girls are training as domestics.

IN WINTRY WEATHERTHROUGH SLUSH AND SNOW

CALLING AT COTTAGES

Britisn Official Wireless,

(Eecoived 30th January, 11 a.m.)RUGBY, 29th January.

The Prince of Wales to-day beganhis unofficial tour of the Northern coal-fields. Arriving by train at Newcastle,he breakfasted at an hotel, and thenproceeded by motor-car to visit the dis-tressed mining area. The weather wasof the worst wintry type. It was bit-terly cold, and snow, which later turn-ed to icy rain, fell relentlessly. ThePrince used the car only to take Mmfrom village to yillage. When hereached each village, he got out of thecar and tramped' on foot through theslush and snow three inches deep uphill and down dale, calling at the cot-tages of miners, where he was not ex-pected, for details of his visit had been1

kept a close secret. %

The miners and members of theirfamilies opened their hearts to thePrince, who heard moving accounts ofhow men had been out of employmentfor two, three, or four years. He sawfor himself the conditions of want inwhich the families lived. His presenceand his sympathy brought cheer to eachhumble dwelling that he entered. Hestopped in streets to question minersand their womenfolk about their cir-cumstances. At a village named Chop-well the Prince visited art employmentexchange, outside which many unem-ployed miners were gathered. .Despitetheir unhappy position, they cheeredhim heartily. At the village of HighSpen the girls lined up on either sideof the street. One of them put out herhand and said excitedly, "Good luck toyou, Prince." The Princo laughed,and, in. passing, gave her hand aheartyshake, with the result that all theother girls wanted to shake hands withhim, too. As he made his way to hiscar, the Princo was laughing and shak-ing hands with everybody who desiredthe 3ionoiu\

LORD MAYOR'S FUNDPAYMENTS UP TO DATE

QUESTIONSIN COMMONS

Australian Press Association—United Service.LONDON, 28th January.

In tho House of CommonsLord Eus-tace Percy, in reply to a question, saidthat the Lord Mayor of London'sminers' fund had made payments to25th January totalling £197,127.South Wales had received £94,250,and Durham and Northumberland£78,100 from the fund, which totalled£570,000. The Treasury had not yetpaid anything to the fund out of thepound for pound vote. This would bopaid as required.

Mr. J. Batey (Lab.): "Isn't it dis-graceful that only £197,000 has beenpaid out of a fund of over a million,when the miners and their familiesare starving?"

Lord Eustace Percy: "The disburse-ment of the funds is dependent on dis-trict committees and organisations."

UNEMPLOYED MINERSPERMANENTLY OUT OF WORK

Australian Press Association,

LONDON, 20th January."The Times" in an editorial saysthat although there are welcome signs

of improvement in the coal trade,nothing has occurred or is likely tooccur to falsify the estimate that atleast 200,000 miners will never againfind employment in their industry;therefore it is fortunate that the Princeof Wales, who already has done muchto make the relief fund a success,should again be concentrating publicattention on the situation by his visitto Northumberland and Durham. Withreference to Lord Percy's explanationin the House of Commons, the editorialsays that the fact that the organisa-tion was framed on the right lines is anadditional reason why there should bean increase in activities without delay.

(Received 30th January, 9 a.m.)'BAY OF WHALES, 28th January.

j CommanderByrd's first long flightwas full of accomplishment, plannedand executed perfectly, and all of themountain range . and other thingshitherto unseen have been 'added tothe map of this mysterious land. ;Whatis more, he managed to peep over theinaccessible icefield which hides a vastarea east of the King Edward sectorand catch a glimpse of the fascinating,hinterland.

With the Boiling arrived our twoships are now lying as snugly as ifin an enclosed basin. There is not theslightest movement of water, at leastthere are no waves, and the ice ia notmoving out fast enough to make thesituation untenable. If it continuedin this way the probabilities are thatit would go out without much pressureagainst the side, for there seems to bea slight current in the other direction,but, if it did begin to press, there isroom for the Boiling with her powerfulengine to push away quickly to safety.

UNLOADING THE EOLLINCr.The great advantage of being along-

side the ice dock here is that it not onlygives them a place where the ships canbe unloaded safely and quickly, butit also decreases the distance to thebase live miles, whereas the old anddangerous route was eight miles.

A straight line to the base would beonly four miles, but the trail is beingmade well inland to avoid crevasesnear the coast. Strom, Braathen, andBrickson went out to make the firsttrail and mark it, Braathen driving hisdog team. He had been over this routeonce before with Byrd when, the firsttrip inland was made to select a site forthe base. Erickson led on foot andwithout skis to see the crevasses. -Hehad a rope about him and was followedby Strom, who was also fastened by a.rope to both Eriekson and Braathen.They took every precaution at theinstruction of the commander,becausetheir mission was to find a crevasse onthe route, if they possiblycould, so thatwhen the dog teams beganto haul loadsthey need not fear falling onto one ofthe bottomless pits of icy darkness.None was encountered, however, andto-day the dogs are lugging stuff inagain with the possibility of makingthree or more trips, instead of two eachday. The trail is a little soft now,but it should improve steadily.

TKANSPOKT TO BASE.As soon as both, ships were secured

the work of unloading the Boilingbegan.. It had been planned to putpart of her load on the City of NewYork, if necessary,but this new posi-tion has obviated what would havemeant a double handling of the cargo.Boxes of blasting powder and caps weretaken ashore first and placed well uponthebarrier out of the way. Then thecoal bags and boxes of food and otherstores were cleaned away from aroundthe Fokker fuselage crate and wing,which was on the forward hatch. Asfast as the stores were placed on theice dock, they wore loaded on sleds.An anchor was sunk in the snow up oathe barrier at the head of the inclineand a block and endless fall rigged toit and taken back to the Boiling's for-ward winch. Two or three heavy,slodloads on one sled which the mencould barely haul up are fastened tothis fall, the winch rattles, and up itgoes to the top to be unloaded andstacked until the dog teams pick it up.It is so much better than' what we

had hoped for that everybody is work-ing with a grin despite the heavy,labour. The crews of both ships havebeen divided into twelve-hour shifts,and work goes on merrily. The dogteams are hauling from seven or eight,hundred pounds to sixteen hundredpounds each trip, depending on thenumber in the team, and the wholeorganisation is working like a machine.It is probably the most remarkablesight in this respect ever seen in theAntarctic.rCopyrlgbted 102S by "New York limes" Com-

AIRPORT SHAPING

CLUB'S ACTIVITIESSAND NUISANCE ABATED

WG JOB GOING [WELL

' It appears certain that in a short{Hine there will bo considerable activ-ity in aviation on the new ground atJiongotai. The ground is taking shape|»pidly under a gang of soino 150 men,jiriiile tho WollingtonAero Club, whichJwas formed last year, lias been activein preparing for action as regards the[provision of funds and the acquisition■ofmembers, activo and non-active.Little can be dono without money,but,[while several leading citizens havemade offers of financial assistance,and;there is no doubt that the club will beactively assisted by the public, no stepsliavo been taken, in this direction forseveral reasons. Tho City Council lasjdonomuch for +he ideal of a Wolling-jfcon airport, and will have spent someJ£17,000 on the job when it is finished.{With a full appreciation of this inmmd, the club did not wish to launchany public appeal until tho National:Museum and Art Gallery Fund was■Hearing the last stages of its campaign.Now that this has .been accomplished,it is likely that shortly more will beJieard from tho club. It has been by3io means idle in the meantime, asplans have been gratuitously proparedfor a hangar, and a contracting firmhas promised to erect it free. Themembership has increased considerably.It is intended to make tho financialyear of tho club commence from IstMarch. Ground lectures to memberslave already been arranged for, , andlectures on engine lubrication, etc., willbe given. The advice of Mr. Dix, theMarlborough delegate to the Washing-ton Civil Aviation Aeronautical Con-ference, who is representing the Wel-lington Aero Club also, will no doubtprove valuable in deciding the courseof action to be taken. A fund of atJeast £3000 is aimed at as a start, for.the purchase of 'planes and for tho fit-ting up of hangars.

Of course, such, a port is not for the1190 of Wellington aviators alone, andin its time it will no doubt be largelyused by cross-Strait traffic as well as-by'the many commercial services thatmust spring into being all over thecountry as the air sense .becomes de-veloped.

That there is. an air sense alreadyifast developing in Wellington was evi-dent to a well-known solicitor, who,when ho called as a matter of course

:«t a petrol station in the Hutt Valley.for some "juice," was somewhat sur-prised to l)e seriously asked to pur-: chase an aerojplano by the proprietor,I who, it seems,- is going South for a■ ."week's tuition himself. This is, ofjjeourse, purely the commercial pushing:«f possibilities. Aviation as a sport

; as not yet so aggressive, but that daywill no doubt come.

CHANGED ASPECT.Tho levelling of the 110 acres of

sandhills at Rongotai, which form thoaerodrome, has already made a differ-ence to the aspect of that part of

""Miramar, ar.d when tho work is com-plote the said drift nuisance there willhave practically disappeared. Abouttwo-thirds of the rotten lock hillock■which has been a landmark for so many

■ years has already been taken down andspread, covering some six acres along-side Broadway, and the surface appearsto be an excellent one. Tho rottenrock certainly keeps the sand down. _t

■ is nothing now to thoso engaged on the'."fob of levelling to find next day, aftera night of wind, that wavelets haveformed on the spread sand,and that an"appreciable portion of it has been waft-ed elsewhere,but once tho rock isspread over it, tho sand ceases to bo-come nomadic. On the five acres lev-

-1 elled last' year, oats and grass have"been sown; in fact, a good crop of oatswas taken off it, and the grass has agood hold. This portion of the port is

: +o bo top-dressed, and if it proves satis-factory, may be used as a football

, ground this winter. It should make a: good one, as it was covered with soil,and there are no stones near the sur-face. The rotten rock from the hil-lock is , to bo covered with clay, in

I which condition it will fill landing and.taking-off conditions, but it will ulti-mately be turfed. It' was estimatedthat there wcro somo 20,000 tons ofa-oek in the hillock, but there seems tobe more. There is apparently enough. still there to cover another four acresof the ground.

NEAKING- COMPLETION.Somo 150 men are at. work still at

Bongotai, but the bulk of the roughwork should bo done in another three■weeks,and tho number of hands em-ployed may be expected to dwindlefrom now on. It is a scene of greatactivity. Somehowtho area looks muchlarger when levelled. Roughly, it issome 19.j0 feet east and west and about1100 feet north and south, and it would

be practically a rectangle, but for an'elongation,of tho eastern corner, whichlengthens off and narrows down to afew chains in width. The northern sidefollows tho concrete covered sewer, andon the south the great flat abuts onthe seaside road, which it is expectedsomo day_ to make into a two-chain-. wide; esplanade all along tho beach.With, a concrete wall along the esplan-ade, and with the slope from the aero-drome to the road grassed, the sanddrift will practically cease, but thesoujco of the sand, the beach, will re-. main, and as Wellington' is unlikely tobecome less windy, there need be nofear of a shortage of the commodity.

A great deal of the flat took littlelevelling, the ups and downs.being littlemore than a foot or so in height ordepth, but this applied only to thomiddle. All along the margin of thegolf course there are hummocks of six' feet or more to remove, while along

; the sandhills nearer the sea, where thebulk of tho filling sand was obtained,the hills were much bigger. Uails andtrucks are being used to move the sand.Tho clay for tho surfacing will bo ob-tained from round tho beach, to theeast, near Palmer's Point, where thoCity Council is starting a new quarry.A mile and throo-quartcrs of light rail-way will be put in there, and'a smalllocomotivo will be used for haulage.The stripping from the quarry will fiir-Jiish the clny surfaeo of t!io aero-drome.

While- there appears ample space forthe present, there arc, west of the bitu-men plant Jit Bougqtai, sit least thirtyacres more that can be taken in ifnecessary, which should give ampleroom for future expansion. This wouldmoan the removal of tho plant there,but this will probably happen in anycase by and bvo.

A GREAT ADVENTURER

Kear-Admiral E. E. G.B. Evans, V.C.,who has been appointed to tho com-mand of the Australian Navy, has some-thing in common with New Zealand inthat he visited this Dominion duringthe time he was associated with tholate Captain Scott in the expeditionswhich finally cost tho great explorerand several of his companions theirlives. He is personallyknown to quitea number of people in Wellington andChristchurch, his association being allthe closer because of the fact that homarried a lady from the Southern city—Miss Hilda Beatrice Eussell, daughterof Mr. T. G. Russell, a prominentChristehurch lawyer, and a niece ofthe Hon. G. W. Eussell, an ex-LiberalMinister of the Crown. Unfortunatelyshe died in 1913 without issue, andthree years afterwards he married MissElsa Andvoid, of Christiania, by whomhe has two sonß. It has not fallen tothe lot of many men in this workaday

world to experience the adventures thathavo fallen to the lot of Kear-AdmiralEvans. Even as a boy at school lie wasnot content with the humdrum,but waseverlastingly seeking hazards which*often led he and his brothers into deep-er waters than they had thought for.They experienced adventures in theEast End of London, skirmishes inSouth London, and explorations inmany other parts as thoroughly carriedout as were any of his adult expedi-tions.' There were three brothers inmost of these adventures, of whichCaptain Evans was the middle spokein many incidents. His schooldays werefilled with "nps and downs," particu-larly that period when ho attended theMerchant Taylors' Lower School', aswell as later at Warwick House School,'from which hejjraduated into the ItoyalNavy as a sturdy little ruffian in 1897.His adventures then began afresh, hay-

Jig for their venue many parts of the[editerranean during the period of the

war between Greeceand Turkey. Thegreatest happenings in his life of ad-venture, however, apart from thoso as-sociated with the Great War, werewhen he sailed the South Seas in theMorning, under Captain William Col-beck, to seek Captain Scott and the Dis-covery. The Morning paid a call toNew Zealand during the course of thisjourney, and it was then that Lieuten-ant (as he was then) Evans madefriendships in New Zealand which stillcontinue. How the Morning found theDiscovery and succoured her is ancienthistory, as is Captain Evans's final visitto the Atlantic as commander of Scott'slast expedition. The story of this lastvisit to the icy wastes of the SouthPolo have been read over and overagain, and many people remember Cap-tain Evans returning to Lyttelton withthe sad announcement that Scott hadfallen before the icy blasts of an in-hospitable, land. When the Great WaTbroko out, Captain Evans was farmingin Canada,but ho answered the call andjoined up onco again with his old-timemistress to harry the Germans in theEnglish Channel. As loader of theDover Patrol, commanding such shipsas the Broke and the Swift, all fast de-Kjtroyera, ho and his ships earned aname which will go down in historyas an epic of those strenuous days. The

, war over, Captain Evans continued incommand of the "little ships," carry-ing out police work in the China Seas,but those days are over now, and hislot is cast among the armoured, levia-thans as is onlyright with a man verg-ing on the fifties, who has learnt hiscalling in the strangest places and un-der the most trying conditions.

Who lias been appointed to the commandof the Australian Navy, and is expectedto take up his duties on 16th May. Rear-Admiral Evans won undying fame on thenight of 20th April, 1917. when his shipthe Broke, with the Swift, met and de-feated six German destroyers which hadbegun a bombardment of Dover. Eversince then he has been referred to as

MENTAL HOSPITALSCOMMITTAL PROCEDURENEW SYSTEM CONDEMNED

LAW NEEDS REVISION

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "Tlie Evenino Post.")

AUCKLAND, This Day.Further safeguards against improper

committal of persons to mental hos-pitals wero asked for by tho sectionalmeetingof the ScienceCongress to-day.Tho following resolution was unani-mously adopted: "That in view of re-cent cases, adequate safeguards againstimproper committal of persons to men-tal hospitals should bo provided bymeans of revision of tho existing lawand practice." The resolution will beforwarded to the Prime Minister and tothe Minister of Health.

Discussion on the Mental DefectivesA.cfcwas opened by Dr. I. L. G.Suther-land, lecturer on philosophy at Vic-toria College, who said he thought thatundesirable features had been prettywell taken out of, the Bill. Regardingtho committal of persons to asylums, itwas strongly felt that the present posi-tion was not satisfactory and furthersafeguardswere necessary.He quoted aletter from Wellington newspapersstrongly protesting against the circum-stances of the committal to Porirua ofa woman well known to tho writor.The writer specially complained thatthe request for committal had to bemade by only one person, that the ex-amining doctorwas chosen by that per-son, and that no examination was madeof the patient's past history. Ho ex-pressed a doubt whether her friendwould recover from the shock of find-ing herself in an asylum. Dr. Suther-land said' that as the result of the pub-licity given to the case, the woman hadbeen discharged, and he was glad to'beable to report that through having akeen sense of humour, she had appar-ently sufferedno injury from her deten-tion. Another case that had causedmuch public comment was that of awoman who had been temporarily con-fined at Porirua, and released to dis-cover that during her absence her childhad died without her knowledge.

Tho meaning of the present legisla-tion which came into effect at the be-ginning of this year, was explained byDr. W. Anderson, who said the posi-tion was going to bo worse than it hadbeen under the old legislation. Uiidprthe guise' of getting away from the un-pleasant association of the Police Courtthe position had now been altered sothat it -was possible for persons tobe committed to the asylum withouthaving been before a Magistrate atall. It seemed to him there was astrongcase for defining clearly what personswere entitled to initiate proceedings forcommittal of others. That privilegeshould not be available to the publicat large. The Act had been far toosweeping in wiping out tho referenceto a Magistrate. A Magistrate didnot now appoint one of the examiningmedical practitioners, as had been donoin the past.

The qualifications of medical practi-tioners called on to examino patientswas raised by a delegate, who saidthat the ordinary medical practitionerwas not competent to decide on such'cases. Ho considered that the new Actwas superior in providing for a periodof observational treatment, which wasvery valuable, but the initial commit-tal was too easy.This could bo reino-died by a system of double certifica-tion. >

Tho case of a man who became vio-Jent after an epileptic fit was describedby another delegate. Tho man wasabout to bo sent to an asylum whenhalf-a-dozen of. his friends undertookto tako chargo of him. In three.dayshe was normal again, and was now inan important position, earning £1200 ayear. Had his friends not intervenedlit that moment the man would undoubt-edly have been a permanent patient"i an asylum.

AMERICAN METHODS

"THE HUMANE TOUCH"

AUCKLAND, This DayHeld in high regard as a neurologist

and alienist of exceptional talent, Dr.Frederick Peterson, of New York, ar-rived at Auckland by the Niagara. Howill devote a fortnight's stay in thoDominion to tho study of New Zea-land's public health works, with par-ticular reference to child welfare andtho caro of the mentally defective. Hobelieves that in Now Zealand he willfind much of professional interest. Thowork of Sir-TrubyKing, founder of thoPiunket system, was well esteemed, intho United States, he said, while- NowZealand's experiments in sociology hadbeen followed with keen interest inothor parts of tho world.

As an accepted authority on hos-pitals for the insane and institutionsfor epileptics, Dr. Peterson is particu-larly interested in that phase of publichealth work in New Zealand. "Inforty years the methods of dealing withthe insane have vastly changed. Thehumano touch has been imparted withgratifying results, 'although the- insan-ity and tho mentally defective rate inthe United States still stands at thohiph figure of 1 in 300. The- old typoof barrack asylum, where patients hadno occupation, no, books, no flowers,nothingto give them an interest in life,is passing, and instead thereis coininginto existence tho villa type of build-

TARIFF QUESTIONA FARMERS' DEBATE

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "Tha Evening Post.")

PALMERSTON N., This Day.The ancient argument between Free

Trade and Protection is to be revivedunder new and somewhat unusual aus-pices, when the score of gentlemen—mostly representing the agricultural in-terests—who compose the Manawatu A.and P. Association's committee will atthen- next meeting put on a full dressdebate.

This proposed debate was decidedupon at yesterday's meeting as theoutcomo of an . appeal from theChamber of Shipping of the United King-dom. The letter covered the copy of a

resolution adopted by tho InternationalShipping Conferencein 102S,after deal-ing with the reports of the World Econ-omic Conferenceof 1927 and consideringthe work of the League of Nations, Inter-national Chambers of Commerce,and otherbodies in this connection.

The resolution is to the' effect that theconference,representing the .carriers oftho bulk of the cargoeswhich form inter-national trade, recognised the reactionof trade barriers upon primary productionand the consequent effect in restrictingthe export of the articles involved andtherefore urged that increased care shouldbe taken to assist in the maintenance ofan equitablebalance between industry andagriculture, and not to stifle one to theadvantage- of the other. Further, thatunless steps can be taken to reducebarrier obstacles to trade and preventthe introduction of new tariffs, a situ-'atiou will develop where primary pro-duction will diminish. With such anevent a diminution of manufactures mustfollow and all parties will be automatic-ally the poorer.

FAST SWIMMERSBORG'S GREAT FORM

HIS STYLE AND METHOD

NEW ZEALAND TALENT

i (Specially Written for "The Post.")Those fortunate enough to bo

present at the New South Walesswimming championships, held atSydney from the 12th to the 19thJanuary, were ainazod at the per-formancesof the lean Swedish mar-vel, Arne Borg, acclaimed through-out the world as the greatest swim-

i mer ever known. Wellington is to' have a, visit from Borg early inMarch.In build Amc Borg, who, by the

way, has had his estwhile irregularteeth straightened to real symmetry,does not suggest tho super athlete, ashe possesses almost thin round should-ers and long thin arms and legs. Hislower chest is well developed, and dis-closes where ho gains his marvellousstamina. He is very ungainly in hiswalk, but is very active and alert, andhas the crowd on the "gui vive," ashe is most unconventional and doesanything1 that comes into his head. Heis a great showman.

METHOD TRAINING.To the average"fan" Borg's method

of getting into racing condition' mustcome as something of a shock. Hiscardinal rule is not to let training be-come an irksome and monotonous grindTo develop heaps of wind) Borg be- jlieves in long runs, followed'by a hotbath and massageto loosen the muscles.When training for 440 yards, Borgswims a hard 500 yards every other Iday, and if he becomes tired in the racehe says to himself: "I can't be tired, ias I have been swimming 500; I musthave something left." Borg's chieftraining must surprise many—waterpolo! * Ho is a real enthusiast at thegame, and plays about three hours aweek at least. He considers this formof training invaluable. To gain a,longer arm action (on tho advice ofBackrach, the famous coach of Weiss-muller), Borg constantly practised be-for a mirror for two years. Likewiseto get a good "pigeon-toed" ]eg drive,

Ihe exercised continuallyby placing his'feet, turned inwards and insteps down-Wards on a towel, resting his hands

'oa a chair and raising his body up andjdown. Borg holds the opinion thatJwhatever suits ono swimmer for train-ing does not necessarily suit all, and! as ho gets such phenomenal results byhis own methods he naturally looks to

1no other.HIS RACING STROKE.

To the ardent student of scientificracing strokes, Borg's action con-founds all the allegedprinciples of per-fect, style. His arm stroke is veryfast and short, and apparently he doesnot relax much.. Of course this can-'not be the cas.e, as he could never coverdistances as he does. He places botharms directly in front of each ear,and with a very high elbow arch. Onstriking at the catch, which is madeabout 18 inches out from his head, thearms continue forward under the waterfor, about six more inches before sweep-ing straight back towards the hip. Hodoos.not pull/rightback past the hip,however, but the elbow breaks tho sur-face first, about the middle of his body,and tho forearm whips around in asmall somi-circlo and the arms moveforward to tho next catch, which ismado with tho elbow noticeably higherthan the hand. His pull is very vigor-ous, and his shoulders add great power

| to the arms, for he utilises his shoul-ders without rolling a great deal. Hishead barely turu3 to breathe, only suf-ficiently for his nose and check tojcreate a littlo wave which leaves asmall air space for a fraction of a sec-ond. Tho head alone turns, and nobody movement, is noticed. He turnsjust after his underarm (that is, thearm on the side from which lie turnsto breathe) has made the catch, andhe brings his head back with the recov-ery of the top arm and keeps it per-fectly square to the front till the nextbreath.

Borg's leg stroke is unique, Itconsists of four beats to, a cycle ofboth arms. A major or big scissorkick occurs with the left leg at thecatch of the right arm, and another bigscissor at the catch of the left armwith the right leg. Between the twokicks Borg puts in two small minor

| "flutters" and then trails his legsstraight out without any motion what-

iover. He also breaks the surfacewithhis feet, and one can only wonder what-ever ho does correctly with his legs.His turning and starting are per excel-lence,and his judgmentsuperb.

IN GREAT FORM.Probably the best performances in

his life have been put up on this pres-ent tour. On tho night carnival,when hampered byx>oor lights,and witha stiff southerly wind blowing downthe course, ho covered 220 yards in2min 18 l-ssec. He lost a second atleast by a yard and a halt' glide to thoturning board, as he could not see theboard very well ■owing to the saltywater smarting his eyes, and to thepoor light. Over tho long 110 yardJaps his swim was an epic, and hocovered the first 100 metres in 62 l-ssee,which is 4-ssee better than Grier's best

Iby an Australian for the distance. Thattime would mean 56sec for 100 yards,rind to give a comparison, the NewZealand record for tins distance is 572-,risec.

On the Saturday afternoon he wasin even better form, by breaking hisown world's record for 880 yards. Itwill probably be 1 a decade before suchswimming will again be seen here. Ho

swam tho first 50 yards in 23 3-ssec,equalling Alick Wickham's New SouthWales sprint record, 110 yards in 64sec(equaly to 57sec for 100 yards), 220yards in 2min 22 l-ssec, 440 yards insmin 1 l-ssee (approximately the timethe Olympic 400 metres was won. in byZorilla), and the full distance in lOmin27sec.

SUPERHUMAN EFPORT.To crown his great performances

Borg attacked the world's mile recordat the Manly baths at a night carni-val. Never will Australians forgetthat almost superhuman effort, whenhe clipped 34 5-10sec off his own re-cord. Unpaced, and hamperedby poorlight, he at once jumped into top speedby covering 110 yards in 6G 3-ssee(equal to about 59see for 100 yards),and 220 yards in 2inin 24 2-ssec (whichis 1 3-ssec slower than Charlton's bestby an Australian for a furlong). The440 yards was passed in smin 4 3-ssec,and the880 yards in new world's recordtime of lOmin 26Jsec. At 1100 yards19feet in excess of 1000 metres, Borg'stime was 13mia ssec, which easily beatshis own world record of 13min 4 l-ssec.At 1320 yards ho chopped no less than53 l-ssec offl his own Australian re-cord. . At 1650 yards he was clockedat 19inin 48sec, which bettered histime in winning the 1500 metres Olym-pic title (in which ho defeated "Boy"Charlton) by 3 4-ssec,despite the factthat the distance was over 9J yards inexcess of 1500 metres. The" full milewas covered in the almost incredibletime of 21min 6 4-ssec. To gain someidea of his average pace, which actu-ally gets faster in various laps, takehis successive 220 yards time— 2min24 4-ssec, 2min 39 4-ssec, 2min 42sec,2min 39 7-10sec, 2min '39sec, 2min 38l-ssoc, 2min 42 l-ssec, 2min 40 4-ssec,

Within ten minutes of this epoch-making feat Borg was back in. the waterand gave the cleverest exhibition ofcomic swimming and water polo ballmanipulation ever given in Australia.Before his mile Borg swam 110 yardson the breast'roke, and crawl, to loosenup, and he invariably has a prelimin-ary swim just before racing. Wel-lington is indeed fortunate- in beinggiven the opportunity in March of see-ing Borg, whose personality, pep, andswimmingprowess have left an. indelibleimpression in Australian swimminghis-tory.

Noel Eyan, a slightly built 17-ycar-old Australian, is undoubtedly the bestdistance swimmer ever produced inAustralia with the exception of "Boy"CUarlton. "Tiger" Byan, as he iscalled (most appropriately), is about 5feet 8 inches in height, and would notweigh nlore than lOst 71b at a roughestimate, but, although of slight build,ho has the heart of a lion. Eyanchased Borg relentlessly in the 880yds,and his time of llmin 2sec is 22 l-sseebetter than the best of Norman Boss,■ex-world's champion, 14 2-ssec betterthan I/udy Langer's best, and only 3 1-5see insido Charlton'a best, put up inthe same bath in 1920,1922,1923respec-tively, when they then were world's

records. When Borg was defeated over880yds in the Domain Baths by Charl-ton in 1924 (whenCharlton establishedthe world's record only broken lastweek by Borg) Borg did lOmin 59 1-5sec, or 2 4-ssec better than Byan did,consequentlyit is no wonder BorgratedEyan as avery fine swimmer. Eyan, onthe same day, swam in a relay race forManly Olub, and covered 220yds in2min 28 4-ssec,and he registered smin20 2-ssee on the previous Saturday for440 yards. He has a "rough" stroke,and, like Borg, ashort fast arm action,with an orthodox six-beat crawl kick.High flotation and exceptional staminaseem t.o be the secret of Eyan's success.

other'evbnts.Tin- 100 yards N.S.W. championship

was a wonderful race, and to givesome idea of the closeness,all the final-ists registered 58sec or better. Thewinner, Arthur Besomo,has made themeteoric rise from being the winner lastyear of a second-class 100 yardsscratch race to a 56sec man this,year.Frank Doyle, Australian record-holder,showed a good return to form by stay-ing well at the finish, which has beenhis failing, and registering 57sec.Hans Eobertson was expected to win,as in the previous week he had covered100 yards at Manly in choppy water inthe great time of 56sec dead. He couldonly touch third, dead-heat with 220ydschampion Owen Grifliths. George St.Heaps, who holds the Australian 100metres record and has equalled the 50yards record of Alick Wiokham (233-ssec), could not secure a place.

The 100 yards backstroke champion-ship was also a great race, and was wonby Marsden Campbell, ex-title holder,by a very narrow margin from an ex-Wellingtonian, A. J. Watson. Unfor-tunately for the latter, he drew theoutside lane on the shallow water side,and as it was low tide this was a bigdisadvantage at the finishingpost. Wat-son's time was 1 2-ssec faster than theN.S.W. championship was won in lastyear, and 2-ssec behind that of thisyear's winner.

NEW ZEALAND'S BEST.Having seen the best in both coun-

tries, the writer is firmly of the opinionthat N. Dowsett and W. Cameron,thetwo best sprintres in New Zealand,would more than hold their own withthe best in Sydney. "Lindsay would,I consider, defeat all here but Eyanover 440 and 880 yards and a mile, butwould fiud Owen Griffiths a tough pro-position over 220 yards. W. Cameronwould defeat all but Boast on back-stroke, and with practice no doubtwould amaze the critics. The wateris more conducive to fast times, andthe sunny air and competition would, Iam sure, bring the New Zealand cham-pions right into the forefront of theAustralians. Leslie Olds, now inAmerica, in a miniature of Borg in.the water, and the Australians cannotcredit his times (lone in New Zealandas being correct. His stylo of armaction is very similar, and there is nodoubt he will some day figure as anAmerican representative at the OlympicGames,to New Zealand's great loss.The New Zealand lady swimmers areacknowledged to be superior even inAustralia, and I am sure the menwould surprise the public also,if giventhe opportunity."

The practicability of promoting ascheme- of free hospital treatment ofwago-eamcius, the cost to be met by acompulsory levy on wages,is also to boinquired into, if a remit to that effectis passed b;{r the conference.

Two renxiis will go before iho con-ference in regard to the question of re-lieving hosjjital boards r.'ho have alarge' proportion of natives residentwithin theia* district, such districtsbeing under a special burden owing tothe difficulty of collecting hospital feesand also the. difficulty in collectingrates.

-An important provision vi the Hos-pitals Act isi. contained in section 92which, defines; the rights of a hospitalboard to be reimbursed for relief grant-ed to personis who are domiciled inother districts or who have only re-cently moved to the district giving therelief.

MORE UNIFORM POLICY.Further consideration was given to

the question of ti ibereulosis treatment,tho executive Imv ingbeen directed tosubmit recommendations to the forth-coming conference with a view to theinauguration of viriformly active mea-sures against this icliseasc. It was fin-ally unanimously agreed to submit thefollowing recommeudations to the con-ference:— . " -

1. That-the'making of provision forthe care and treat] went of tuberculosiscases is a proper i'unctian of hos-pital boards.

2 (a) That with a view to ensuringa more uniformly ac stive policy with re-gard to the treatment of tuberculosisand also with a vic\f to more equitablysharing the burden of the more expen-sive measures again;st tuberculosis, hos-pital boards should combine in groups,two for the S'orth Island and two for.the South Island as below indicated,for the purpose of taking over and ad-ministering tuberculosis sanatoria with-in the respective districts of tho com-bined boards.

CANCER PROBLEM

PUBLIC MUST HELP

EARLY TREATMENT VITAL

The Hon. Dr. W. E. Collins, M.L.C.,returned to Wellington yesterday, afteran absence of a year spent in Great.Britain anil the Continent.

Referring to tho recent internationalconference in London on cancel', Dr:Collins said the question had beentaken up in Britain with intense ear-nestness. " The-. delegates, numberingabout lu'Ofrom the leading countries ofthe world, were received in audience atBuckingham Palace by His MajestytheKing, who took tho keenest interestin the subject, and the Duke of York,as president of 'the British EmpireCancer Campaign, scut' a messageto theconference,which was convened by thegrand council of that organisation. SirJohn Bland-Suttoii, ex-president of theBoyal College of Surgeons and an auth-ority on tumours presided, and deliver-ed tho opening address.

Tho papers read by medical men fromvarious countries dealt with all aspectsof the disease. These papers were, ofcourse, mostly of a technical charac-ter. "Research work on cancer," saidDr. Collins, "is of much use, but it isof little value in reducing tho death-rate unless the general public help themedical profession in every possibleway; and they can assist the professionby recognising tho fact that cancer ismostly' curable in its early stages. I"have for many years held the opinionthat people should submit to a thoroughperiodical medical examination, at leastonce a year; and this, I am sure, wouldbe of immense value in reducing themortality from the disease; in fact, itwould reduce deaths from cancer of thobreast, skin, face, throat, , and tongueto a minimum." Dr. Collins emphas-ised his view that early diagnosis andattention is of vital importance-. Therewas, he said, good reason to hope thatin a few years themortality from everyform of cancer would be greatly lessen-ed as tho result of early attention. Hewas much struck during liis stay inEngland by tho greater interest nowbeing taken by the public in healthmattors. This, ho thought, was large-ly due to the great work being done bythe British Ministry' of Health.

AN ENGLISH EXPERT(Special to "The Evening Post.")

..AUCKLAND, This Day.Dr. W. S. Handler, of London, who

arrived by tho Maungamii from Syd-ney

' yesterday to address tho annualconference of the New Zealand branchof tho 8.M.A., to bo hold in Welling-ton in February, on recent researchesin cancer, stated that a conferencewas held in London last July, when itwas shown that very definite, but slow,progress was being made in the treat-mont of cancer, especially by the useof radium, and by improved methodsof operation. Much importance was at-tached . by Dr. Handley to the earlytreatment of the disease,and the resultsin eases where the patients were treat-ed when an attack was in its incipientstages were gratifying indeed. Ho saidit could not be too strongly urgedupon people to seek expert medicalattention at the earliest possiblemoment. If that advice were followed,he considered tho war upon cancerwould be waged with much greater suc-cess than was at present tho case.

The explanationof the delay in sucha large percentage of cases was thatpeople thoughtif they had no pain theydid not. have cancer. That view wascontrary. t.O:-'expert opinion, -which heldthat' early.'-'", cancer .was .. ■;painless.Emphatic that cancer could be cured,Dr. Handley said ther'o were numerousmatters in connection with the methodsof treatment that were still a subjectof dispute.;.■■■■ :

CITIZENS' MEMORIAL

CLEARING THE SITE

AN IDEAL SPOT

A start has been made by the Wel-lington City Council with the clear-ing away of some of tho buildings onQuinton's corner preparatory to tho lay-ing of the foundation-stone of theCitizens' War Memorial, which willdefinitely tako place on Anzac Day,25th April. Not all the buildings willbo removed simultaneously, tho cornerbuilding remaining longest, tut it isexpected that all will bo removed bythe timo the complete memorial isready for erection. Tho exact.positionof tho foundation-stone, which it- ishoped will be laid by His Excellencytho Governor-General,has not yet beendecided upon, but as the "baso of themain portion of the memorial will bonear tho now roadway which will bomade from the Quay to Bowen street,its approximate location is determined.The slight alteration in tho lay-out oftho cornerwhich has been decided uponis an improvement which will make thomemorial stand out more conspicu-ously. A flight of steps will lead fromthe new roadway to the back of thomemorial, tho grounds of which will,form a rounded triangle, surrounded bya footway, with its apex pointing tdwards Lambton Station. Prom thefront the memorial will "bo approachedby a flight of steps which will lead toa tesseloAted paved area flanked byshrubs, taking up the wholo of theremaining area up to the flight of stepsleading immediately to the memorialitself. This will give an unobstructedview of the strueturo from threo sides,and will give a greatly increased spacewithin full sight of the memorial fortho public on ceremonial occasions thantho original sito could have afforded.Tho background for such an imposingpiece of architecture—including apylonthe total height will bo 65 foot—is animportant mattor, but as the land ontho further sido of the new roadway isthe property bf the City Council it issafe to assume that buildings erectedthoro will have, if not a blank wall, atleast nothing.of so ornate a nature asto detract from the impression of thememorial.

VETERAN MARINERCAPTAIN R. 'M'LEAN

DEATH AT AUCKLAND

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "Tho Evening Post.")

AUCKLAND, This Day■One oli the grand old veterans of the

sea, Captain-Donald M'Lean, died inAuckland yesterday at the age of 72.Ho first shipped as a boy, and untii liisretirements eight years ago continuous-ly followed a seafaring career. Forforty-years he was in the Union SteamShip Company's service.

■.Captain. M'Lean was born on theisland of Tirce, off the coast of Argylc-shire, the home of many sailors, and at■an early age was on sailing craft be-tween Scotland and America, chiefly toQuebec and the Gulf of Mexico. Hisfirst trip.to tho Southern Hemispherewas in theLoch Bannock,of the famousLoch Line, and. later he served in someof the Shaw-Savill clippers running be-tween New Zealand and Britain, one ofthem being the speedy Taranaki. Inti-mates of those days knew him as"Dan,"a matter that might now causedoubt as to bis identity. When Cap-tain M'Lean transferred to steam heselected the notable ship liotomahana,then the pride of the southern oceans,and in her he. got his ticket, rising tothe position of chief officerbefore leav-ing her. Captain Underwood,her orig-inal master, was in command when hejoined her, and lie was also with Cap-tain Carey. Captaiii M'Lean servedin a number of the Union Steam ShipCompany's vessels as mate, amongthembeing tho Taviuni, on which he wasassociated with Captaiii E. Smith forfive years in tho South Sea Island trade.His first command was the little Maori,then engaged in the inter-island-Fijitrade, and later ho was master of thePoherua, the Navua, Taviuni, andManapouri. When the Waitemata wasbuilt he went to: Britain and brought'her out on her first voyage. Upon theoutbreak of war Captaiii M'Lean as-sumed -command,of the transport Moe-raki, which took part of .the- NewZealand Force to Samoa, and he thentook over the hospital ship Maheno,with which he took many thousands ofsick and wounded soldiers from Anzac,Gallipoli, to New Zealand, Alexandria,and Malta, and later from Havre toSouthampton. In 1920 CaptainM'Lean was in command of the Mokoia,which carried the Parliamentary partyto the CookIslands and Samoa, and justbefore his-retirement ho had charge ofthe Niagara on one trip to Vancouverand flew his pennant as commodore oftho company.

Captain M'Lean, whose career wasfree from any serious shipping mishap,was a lovable man of exceptionally finephysique. His command of tho Ma-heno when she was a hospital ship wasfull of ■ anxiety and difficulty, whichadded years to ,his age. Since Ids re-tirement he. had sufferedseverely fromheart trouble.

RATES OF PAY

A' LABOUR PROTEST

The 'following motion was carried ata meeting of the Wellington Bulkier.1?and GeneralLabourers' Union last eve-ning: /.

"That this, meeting of .the- Wolling-■ton Builders and General Labourers'jIndustrial Union of Workers entertheir emphatic, protest against the ac-tion, of the. Wellington City Council inthe decision "to- pay- relief workers atthe rate of 14s per day, in view ofthe declaration made by Sir JosephWard that the relief workers would bepaid the standard trade .union rate ofpay. We claim that the only standardrate to be recognised is the rate fixedby the Court, of .Arbitration. We sub-mit that the action of the City Councilis a deliberate effort to undermine thestandard rate of.wages fixed by theCourt of Arbitration, and that the coun-cil has no:legal power so to do. Theaction, therefore, concerns every tradeunionist, not only, in Wellington, buttliroughoutthe Dominion. We call uponorganised Labour in this city to -joinwith us in a demand that the CityCouncil pay the standard trade unionrate of wages fixed by the ArbitrationCourt, coveringlthe class of employ-ment that the relief workers are calledupon to perform/

COLD STORAGE

OS AMERICAN- STEAMERSFurther indication, of the keenness atpresent existing among American ship-ping companies to secure their share ofthe New Zealand-America trade is given

in the decision' recently made by theOceanic and Oriental Navigation Com-pany of San Francisco to provide re-frigerating space in four of tho com-pany's ships trading between New Zea-land and the American ports.

According to advice received in Wel-lington to-day, the intention is to makeprovision on the bridge deck for suf-ficient refrigerating space for the ac-commodation of 250 measured tons.Two compressors of the ammonia typowill bo capable of maintaining a tem-perature of anything down to lOdeg.Fahrenheit.

Tho Golden Crossis already being fit-ted, and it is expected that she willbe ready for service with the altera-tions completfirl some timo in March Ithas not yet been definitely decidedwhich the other three vessels will be,but it is probable that they will be theGolden State, Golden Bear, and GoldenCloud, which leave America in AprilMay, and June respectively.

SMASH AT CROSSINGWOMAN KILLED OUTRIGHT

GIRL AND CHILD INJUEED


STBATFORD, This Day.A woman was-killed and two girls

terribly injured in a collision yester-day between an empty ballast trainand a fivc-seater car at the York roadlevel crossing near Midliirst.

The victims were:—Mrs. Mary .Dodunski' (si); driver of

the ear, and wife of Mr. Joseph Do-dunski', of! York road, killed.

Agnes Dodunski (17), daughter of thedeceased,scalp injuries, fractured pel-vis, and internal injuries.

Mary Dombroski (7), grand-daughterof Mrs. Dodunski. Her injuries includea fractured skull and body burises.

The condition of both the injured iscritical. ■ ■

Mrs. Dodunski . was killed outright.Miss Dodunski, who was sitting in thefront seat on the. side struck by- theengine, was unconscious,as also wasthe child, who'-was in the back "seat. '

Prior to the accident the ear hadbeen proceeding up Mountain road fromStratford parallel- with the railwayline. Just south of the York road-inter-section the road dips and a view of theline is difficult to obtain. Mrs. Do-dunski evidently did not see the trainapproaching behind, and drove aroundthe corner on to the crossing. Thetrain was not a scheduled one, and thismight account for the fact that a bettorlook-out was not maintained.

SHOP BROKEN INTO

GOODS AND MONEY STOLEN

TWO YOUNGMENPLEAD GUILTY

The fact that they were hard up wasadvanced by two.labourers, John AVeir,aged 20, and Jack Summers, aged 20,tlio reason for them breaking and en-tering Thawley and Sutherland's shopin Molesworth street on the night ofWill January, and stealing goods andmoney, of a total value of £34. Theypleaded guilty to the charge in theMagistrate's. Court to-day.

lOvidencowas given by Olive A.Hall, employed as a bookkeeper andcounter assistant by .Messrs. Thawleyand Sutherland, that on the- morningof 17th January she examined the drap-ery stock, and found that articles tothe value 'of £15 8s Sdhad been taken.Several boxes had been removed fromthe shelves and were scattered aboutthe floor and counter.

William Thawley said ho locked upthe shop on the night of 16th January.Next morning he found the premiseshad been broken into. A padlock hadbeen broken.off the back door, and anattempt had been made to open thesafe, the handle and key-hole guardhaving been forced off. Ho found thata quantity of his stock was missing.

Detective E. C. Jarrold said' thatwhen he interviewed Summers,in com-pany with Detective-Sergeant Trickle-bank, on 25th January, the accused waswearing a shirt which he admitted hadbeen taken from Thawley and Suther-land 's shop on the night of 16th Jan-uary.

The two accused madestatements, in which they admittedbreaking into the shop and stealinggoods, part of which, they said, had af-terwards been stolen from. them. Someof the goods had been sold to second-hand dealers, and these had been re-covered.

When asked by the Magistrate (Mr.E. Page, S.M.) if they had anythingto say, tho accused asked to be givena chance. Summerssaid that thingshad been going pretty hard with him,and he had been sleeping out. Howas in need of money, so he and hisfriend had agreed, to commit the burg-lary.

Tho Magistrate" committed the ac-cused, to the Supreme Court for sen-tence.

NEXT ROYAL SHOW

INVERCARGILL CHOSEN

It was decided at yesterday's meetingof the Royal Agricultural Society ■of NewZealand to hold the next Royal Showin Invercargill- early in December. Dur-iiig the discussion Mr. A. S. . Holms,of Wairnahaka,stated that he wished toinform the members of the council thatthe Press Association,messagefrom In-vercargill which had appeared in thepapers did not convey the opinion of theSouthland A. and P. Association regard-ing the work of the council and its staff,and personally he was very sorry thatsuch a message had been broadcasted overthe Dominion.It was pointed out by other speakers

that since the inception of the RoyalAgricultural Society all the Royal Showshad been run solely by the A. and P. As-sociation holding the Royal Show, theKoyal Agricultural Society assisting in

every way that it could. It was quitetrue that perfection had not yet been at-tained and probably never, would be, butthere was a general feeling that 'he run-ning of Royal Shows was being stead-ily improved as experience was gained.As the Southland A. and P. Associationwould have the next Royal Show,speakerssaid that it -would be interesting to seewhat improvements that association couldmake. In the interests of the breedersof the Dominion who had loyally support-ed the Royal Agricultural Society, it wasfelt that there was now: more need thanever . for all connected with the Royal

Showmovement towork together harmoni-ously with the object of expansion andimprovement. . Mere criticism, withouthelpful suggestions for improvement, wasworthless.

The council passed a unanimous motiono£ confidencein the secretary, who hadclone meritorious work in placing the So-ciety on a sound footing,- though, onlya part-time official. .

BODIES RECOVERED

NAPIER, This Day.The bodies of two Napier High

School boys, Hugh Douglas, aged iif-teun, and Gordon MaclTarlane, agedsixteen,who were drowned on Thursdayevening last when their boat capsizedin the inner harbour, were recoveredto-day.

A search had been kept up bylaunches since the fatality, and latterlyan aeroplane had given assistance. Yes-terday at noon both bodies wore sightedfrom the aeroplane, which immediatelylanded and a police launch was guidedto the spot. An hour's search revealedonly MacFarlane's body, the other hav-ing drifted away. The latter was seenlater by a ferry crossing the outerharbour several miles from the placewhere it was first noticed by the aero-plane. Before the ferry could land itspassengersand recover the second bodyit was carried bythe current and sweptto sea, whore it was eventuallypickedup. ' .

By a, strange coincidence the secondbody was landed at the wharf fromthe ferry just as a conveyance withthe first body was passing on its wayto the morgue.

An inquest was opened for identifi-cation purposes and adjourned tillThursday.

PLUNKET SHIELD

WELLINGTON'S POSITION

AN AUCKLAND VIEW


AUCKLAND, This DayThe- "JSTew Zealand Herald's" special

cricketing writer states that an impres-sion seems to have got abroad thatAuckland 1is still in the running for thePlunket Shield, but when the positionis analysed, how can Auckland expectthe trophy when the province was de-feated by Wellington? Wellington'srecord is a win and two drawn games,against Auckland's a win, a loss, anda draw. Such a record must be a bet-ter one, so far as results go, and theshield is awarded on results. It is onlywhen the tearivs- have similar recordsthat averages have a bearing on thepoint, but Auckland's match record isnot so good as that of Wellington, eventhough its averages may be very muchbetter. Wellington cannot be penalised■on account of wet weather, and it wasAuckland's misfortune to.be robbed byrain of a victory over Otago. A win.there would have placed Auckland inan unassailable position, but as mattersnow stand, it is absurd to say Aucklandshould get the shield in. preference toWellington. In considering the team'srecord," losses and drawn games mustbe taken into account as well as wins.

CRITICISM OF UMPIRES

In connection with the criticism. ofthe umpiring in the recent PlunketShield match between Auckland andWellington,.Mr. W. H. Bock, chairmanof Ilie Wellington Cricket Umpires' As-sociation, stated to-day, that his bodydissociated itself entirely from the.re-marks made by Mr. S. H. Ferguson.

OBJECTION TO PLAYER

AVairarapa's team for the Hawke Cupmatch with Manawatu, commencing to-day at Palmers ton North, was amendedowing to J. Si. Lamason and B. WMt-burn not being available. An' objec-tion to Lamason's inclusion in the teamwas made by tho Manawatu Associa-tion on the ground that ■Lamason didnot possess the residential qualificationrequired under the rules. This playerwas in the Wairarapa earlier in the sea-son, but has been playing lately forOld Boys in Wellington. The New Zea-land Cricket Council ruled that Lama-son was ineligible to play for AVaira-rapa, it being stated that the rule pro-vided that a player had to bo born inthe district, had to reside in it for sixmonths, or had to make known his bonafido intention to remain in it for sixmonths. It is stated that Lamason pos-sessed none of these qualifications.

The Wairarapa team is now as fol-lows: E. O.Blamires (captain), F.'Hoar,J. Roimer, H. Groves, D. Walloon, XUttloy, K. Montgomery, A-. Patrick, J.Burt, Dr. Morton, and Dr. Uttley, withJ. Deuby as twelfth man.

Business in Scotland is improvinggreatly, according to Major M'Eae, whosays that there is a most optimistictone right, through tho country. Ho isinterested in watching what effect thoextension of tho franchise to youngwomen will have. It is sheep countryup in the Highlands where ho lives,but the land tnere carries only inferiorqualityanimals, though further down inScotland -the quality is much, better.He had been looking roward with in-terest to seeing some of the rural lifein Now Zealand, but Lady M'Crae'sindisposition makes travelling ratherarduous. The loyalty of the people ofNow Zealand to the King and to theEmpire has greatly impressed MajorM'Eae, who is full of admiration forthe pioneer settlers of this country andfor tho great work which they haveaccomplished in a comparatively shorttime.

A TOUR IN EUROPEMR. YON HAAST'S IMPRESSIONS

The opinion that tlie age o£protectionfor England was not very far away wasexpressed by Mr. H. ¥. yon Haast, ofWellington,who returned on Monday afteran extended tour overseas. Protection,he said,would not come directly, but bythe extension of the safeguarding clauses.A sign of the times was that both em-ployers and employees were beginning toagitate for it. There appeared to be arevival of business in England, but therealso seemed to be some concern over thenumber of men who were emigrating,leaving a surplus of ■women.

While in England, Mr. yon Haast di-rected his attention to the stage, and cameaway with two definite impressions. Onewas that in the country towns a greatdeal was being done to encourage.thedrama by repertory companies, and theother was that in London the stage wasentirely devoted to "shockers"—plays ofthe sensational type—and revues.

After spending some time in Englandand in Scotland,in which latter countryhe attended the historical Highland gamesat Braemar, he visited Paris, Belgium,Holland, southern Germany, Switzerland,Italy, and the Kiviera. In the parts ofGermany which he visited he gained theimpression that the hostile spirit had, toa very large extent, disappeared. Thepeople to whom ho spoke would not en-tertain any idea of the.return of a mon-archy. He was impressed by the pros-perity he saw, and the healthy look ofthe people, especially the young people.They were well dressed and well, fed,and lived an open-air life.

While in Germany lie visited the famousMunich Museum,where there is an exhi-bition of the progress made in everybranch of .science and industry from theearliest times to the present day.' Oneof the sections of the museum, is devotedto town-planning, and in that portion hesaw full plans of Canberra. He found,at a big dog show in Munich,that in thesheep-dog class, practically all the ex-hibits were Alsatian dogs.

AIR CURRENTS

ADVICE FOR AVIATORS

OFFICIAL EXPERIMENTS

The Meteorological Department hasin view a series of extensive experi.ments t#-bc carried out both in Wel-lington and in Auckland for the pur-pose of ascertaining all that can beknown about local air currents. It hasbeen thought desirable to compile thi'ainformation in view of the rapid de-velopments in air travel that are ex-pected to take place shortly. The workwill be carried out under the- directiouof Dr. E. Kidson, Director of the Do-minion meteorological service.

Tho experiments in Wellington willbe carried on by Mr. A. Thomson,ofthe Samoa Observatory. He has al-ready been attached to the Dominionmeteorological office for the comingyear for that purpose. At Auckland thoresearches will be carried out by Mr,P. W. Sagar, a student who is ■ study-ing under Professor Burbidge for hisM.Sc. degree. He will make his ob-servations the subject for his degreethesis. A research grant for his assist-ance will be made available by the De-partment of Scientific and IndustrialEesearch.It is intended to commence the obser-

vation of wind currents in the uppei;air by means of pilot balloons." Theseare small rubber balloons filled withhydrogen, and it has been found thatthey ascend through the air at anapproximatelyuniform rate, which canbe adjusted by inflating the balloon tothe right'degree. When th'c balloon hasbeen released its course through thoair is watched continuously through a.specially designed pilot balloon theodo-lite. The rate of ascent being known,it is possible to determine the balloon'sposition by means of an observation ofits bearings and of the angle of eleva-tion. The horizontal distance over;which the balloon has travelled at any,particular height during a given tima:can hence be calculated. From this thevelocity and direction of the wind, atthat point could easily be deduced.

As soon as a base is chosen for theproposed airship service a meteorologi-cal station will be set up there, andupper air observations commenced.Subsequent operations will depend onthe development of aviation, and thepractical demand for the help ofimeteorological observations.

A STRANGE CATCH

Who knows what history or romancemay be associated with the strange catchmade recently by a Scottish trawler whilefishing some 50 miles south-east of Aber-deen. From the green depths of theNorth Sea was brought of all things—a"greybeard" which, as my older readerswill know (says a contributor to the Edin-burgh "Weekly Scotsman"), is an old typeof earthen drinking-jug or vessel,madeto hold a considerable quantity of "honeydew" in those times when the nationalproduct was more popular, potent, andcheaper than it is to-day. The "grey-beard," which was exhibited at Glasgowfish market,stands nine inches highand ismade of brick-coloured ware. It bears theusual representation of. an ancient manwith flowing board,and is distinguished bythe addition of a family crest. Although,broken in part and encrusted with bar-nacles when found,the vessel is stated tobe in good condition, and is probably 300years old. The drinking vessels of ourgrandfathers had curious shapes. : I remem-ber seeing a strange "decanter" in a farm-house in a "far awa" district of the westof Scotland which was placed before acouple of weary hill trampers. "Bringben the mell," ordered the gudeman, andthe serving lass entered bearing anearthenjar shaped like the'heavy mallet used bymasons.

The total trade of the Dominion for theyear 1928 amounted to 2,590,448,113dollars,*n increase of 270,518,179dollars over thatof 1927.

Total exports exceeded imports by151,323,281 dollars. Agricultural productsaccounted for 50 per cent, of the exporttrade. The British Empire was the bestcustomer, taking goods valued at 5,045,453,----731 dollars, an increase of 45,000,000dol-lars over the United States, the secondbest customer.

From Australia,Canadaimported 3,022,----265 dollars,and exported 16,273,159dollars.New Zealand sold to Canada 9,461,684dol-lars of products and purchased 15,001,223dollars of goods in return.

The Bank of Montreal, reporting Mon-treal, 21st December,before figures i'orthe full twelve months of 1928 were avail-able, remarked: "The year draws to aclose with production and distribution ata high level, and save only in tmcli. bran-ches as are affectedby the season, theactivity of recent months is well main-tained. There is little , unemployment,wageskeep up, note circulation—an excel-lent barometer of business—is large, mer-cantile mortality is normal,bank depositsgrow, foreign trade enlarges, and com-modity prices are fairly stable. In thebasic industries—agriculture, newsprint,iron and steel, coal and mineral produc-tion, iio recession has occurred,despite adecline in prices, particularly of news-print and' grainfe.

"Yet the dominant industry, agricul-ture, is thriving, with a Held crop estimat-ed to have a value of 1,051,000,000dollarsat current market prices, and more news-print is being produced and sold thanever before. In the eight months to 30thNovember,204,112,000bushels of wheat,were exported, nearly 100,000,000bushelsmore than in the like period last year, andon the 15th of the present month the vis-ible supply of wheat in Canadawas 141,----000,000bushels,or 46,700,000bushels morethan a year ago,figures which imply largeemployment for transportation companies,until, another harvest is reaped."

MANUFACTURES.Textile industries hold up under atressi

of foreign competition, and have latterlybeen operating at larger percentage of.capacity. Rolling mills and other fabri-cators of iron and .steel continue to bobusily ■ employed. Orders for railwayequipment of various kinds have givennew impetus to production of thesearticles. Prices,.of iron and its product!!havebeen firm with rising tendency.

The automobile industry has sharplyrecovered from the slump which occurredin July of last year and continued througha period of seven months. In the fourmonths ending with October,73,954pas-sengercars and 22,216trucks were pro-duced,compared with 33,775 cars and8748 trucks in the corresponding periodlast year. In October, production wasmore than double that of the same monthin 1927. Those figures are impressive asindicative of the spending power of thepeople. The export trade in those vehicleshas also grown,-the value of automobilesand parts shippedfrom Canadain Novem-ber, 3,892,000dollars,having been 1,418,000dollars in excess of the like month lastyear. --...-, : . . .

The foreign trade of Canadacontinuesto expand in both imports and exports,and is now outstripping the monetaryvalue reached at the apex of post-warinflation prices. In the elapsed eightmonths of the fiscalyear, aggregate foreigntrade has expanded 223,000.000.dollars tothe high total of 1,782,528,000dollars, be-ing 318,55-1,000in excess of three yearsago, in which gain imports and exportshave had close correspondence.

BUILDING BRISK.Constructionwork has not abated activ-

ity, although a slowing down would notbe surprising in view of- the extensiveoperations of the last tiro or three years.Coal production in Nova Scotia runsahead of last year, and;in.British Colum-bia there has been an increase in produc-tion of copper, lead, and'petroleum, whilein Ontario that of nickel steadily grows.The value of' gold and silver .mined hasnot increased. ' -.

Callloans in Canadarose less than 3,000,000dollars in October,despite stock marketactivity.

BUTTER FOR THE EAST.

Messrs. A, H. Tui'nbull and Co., Ltd.,recently wrote to the New Zealand DairyBoard .forwarding a letter from theShanghai Iee 1,and Cool Storage Company,Ltd., on the popularisation of New Zea-land dairy produce in. China. The writerspointed out that it was desirable to estab-lish New Zealand butter on the Chinesemarket for the sake of future prospects.The market was an expandingone, and itwas quite possible that Japanese butterwould be exported in the course of thenext one or'two years, as expansion inthe industry in Japan was indicated.Discussion by the board showed thatprofitable development of trade in Chinaand Japan was likely to be so small, incomparison .with what was possible in themarkets of Europe and America, as notto be worth while at present. Australia,with a well-organised system of regulartransport to the East,was far better ableto cope with that trade than was NewZealand. Every thousand tons of Aus-tralian butter sent to the East meant1000 tons'less on the London market, thuspresenting a better opportunity for NewZealaud produce on that market. NewZealand, by"'exporting to London, wasengaging in world trade, and the problemshould be viewed from thaV angle. Theletter was received.

SHEEP FOR RUSSIA

Highbred Merino stud sheep_, recentlypurchased in Australia for the Soviet Gov-ernment by the Textile Import Co.,throughDalgety and Co.,have arrived atNovovorsisk, the Black Sea port ofCaucasia. The shipment comprised 41rams and 1990 ewes, selected from llieBoonoke, Haddon Rig, and BairnkiueStuds. The shippers advise that' thestock landed in good condition, only 11ewes being lost during the voyage of SOdays. .This is regarded as a record, theaverage.mortality being reckoned at 2 percent.

A PRUNE PROBLEMAustralian fruit-growers, like ninny of'

their brethren in New Zealand,arc anxiousto expand beyond their domestic market,but strongly resent foreign fruit compet-ing in that market with their own. NewSouth Wales prune-growers recentlywaited upon the Moral Minister forCustomsand urged a duty of 4Msd to Cdper pound on foreign prunes or their totalexclusion from Australia. Tho Minister,in reply, pointed out that the matter hadbeen under notice since 1924, and,although there had been the closest inves-tigation, there was nothing to show thatthe dumping had taken place or, indeed,was about to take place. The evidence■was that prunes were not being coM inAustralia at a price below that chargedin California; and there was also definiteevidence that the Californian prunes inAustralia (bothwholesale and retail) werebeing disposed of nt a higher price thanthat prevailing for the local product. .Asto the suggested increase in duty, thatmatter was now beforethe Tari/f Hoard,The Minister further stated that Califor-nian prunes were alreadysubject to a duty.-Ji-ino uei1 cent.

AUSTRALIAN HONEYNew Zealand exporting apiarists may

be interested to learn that so far the Howof honey in the State of Victoria hasbeen disappointing. In October andNovember it was predicted that an excel-lent flow was assured,but the season hasbeen later than was expected, and smallquantities of "new honey have been sentforward. The autumn now should beunusually large. In the Gippsland andNorth-Eastern districts indications arethat a record yield of honey is possible.Unfortunately such honey is not of firstgrade, and therefore unless the summerflow is larger choice honey may bo scarcethis year. The carryover of suppliesfrom last season is-small, and a steady,market should obtain until now.honey is'marketed.

NEW ZEALAND FRUIT IMPORTS.

Mr. X J.Ogdcn, of Williamstown,Vic-toria, the founder of the movement inVictoria lor preference p to Australiangoods, has informedthe Sydney "MorningHerald" that he was painfully surprisedto -notice that in New Zealand storespractically everything in the dried andtinned fruit lines was Californian. lporthis he blamed, not the Australian pi'o-

ducts,but Australian packers,, whose lackof energyand interest, lie said,had lost tothem, temporarily, at anyrate, a splendidmanket. Sir. Ogden also referred to theNew Zealand demand for oranges,whichis supplied almost wholly from the Pacificslopes of the United States. Califormanagents, he said,were making every effortto secure their hold on the Dominion smarket. Nothing short of an intensivecampaign on the part of Australian fruitgrowers and packers would enable themto capture a trade, which, from both theImperial and geographical points of view,

should be in their hands,especially sincetheir products, so far from being inferiorto Galifornian goods, were equal to themin every respect.

CANTERBURY MARKETS.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)CHRISTCHURCH,20th January

The week has recorded a fair amountof business in new season's wheat, thepurchases being for northern millers. Thoprices paid have ranged about 5s 9d ontrucks for Tuscan,and 6a for Hunters.The wheat crop has come in with a rushthis last week, and cutting is proceedingearly and late. As far as wheat is con-cerned,'the damage by the midweek stormhas been negligible over the greater partof the province. The isolated cropsknocked about form a very small propor-tion of: tho whole. This state of affairsis little short of remarkable, consideringthe ferocity of Thursday night's storm.

Consequent on the reports published in

northern papers of the devastation causedby Thursday's storm, Wellington mer-chants entered the oats market on Fridayand pafcl 3s G'M a bushel,f.0.b., s.i., forA Cartons. Next day a modifiedreportwas issued,and prices eased. Somebuy-ing from farmers has taken place at 2slOd for A Gartons, equal to 3s 5d f.0.b.,E.i. Algerians are.not attracting interestso far, but up to 2s Od on trucks isquoted. ; Purchases have been made inthe.Timaru district at 2s 6d on trucks.

Chaff for early delivery, of the new sea-son's crop has been sold at £3 15s a ton.

Undergrowth and clover growth willseriously, reduce the threshing proportionof the perennial ryegrassfields closed up.It is not improbable, therefore, that'theryegrass yield will be light.

The week's weather has made no differ-ence to tho potato outlook,but the possi-bility of export to Australia is intriguingmerchants. The possibility, however,isnot affecting prices, which remain at £5a ton, f.0.b., s.i. Farmers have beenselling mote freely at £3 ]5« a ton oatrucks.

Mentioned by "The Post's" corres-pondent, writing on 24th December,ashaving b_on recently in London worethe following:—Mr. and Mrs. H. Har-rison, Mr. J.

Wat-son and Miss Sophie Watson,Palmexs-ton North; Major G..WUI, E.A.M.C,Dunedin; Mr. W. Pitts-Brown, Nelson.Kindergartens and Students.

The importance of kindergarten workis urged by an Auckland writer whostates that there are eight committeesof women who are absorbed in workingfor tho kindergartensand that there arein addition a number of suburbs agitat-ing' anxiously for the little schools tobo established in their midst. It ap-

-1pears to be not only a question ofmoney (though,of course, that is amostimportant question), but also of stu-dents. Eather strangely, so far therehas not been a sufficient supply, ofstudents,although tho work is fascinat-ing, interesting, and most necessary,bringing'a wonderful reward to the girlwho cares for children or who wishes totake up work for the "good that shecan do." The need for "kindergar-teners" is emphasised by Sir TrubyKing in New Zealand, and by nurses,missionaries,school nurses, and the edi-tor of a children's paper, in.other partsof the world, all of whom agree in thevalue of the work. It is hoped thatNew Zealand girls will train in greaterjnumbers, as positions are continuallyoffering for skilled teachers."Dipping" Style Out.

Two modes of the present momentappear to have run their course so faras the best designers are concerned,Iwrites Diana Dane. They are printedfabrics and exaggeratedly dippingIskirts. Sometime ago I hinted that itIwould be well for women with limitedjdress allowances, who could not affordto buy gowns and discard them withina few weeks, to be wary of the de-lightful printed materials displayed fortheir admiration. Delightful they were—and arc—but their persistent popular-ity was bound to be followed by a fall.They are still being used, but verysparingly, and all the indications arethat plain fabrics will be infinitely more"correct" next season. Printed silksand satins will be used, however, forlinings, and for blouses, jumpers,scarves, and the hundred and one drossaccessories necessary to produce theperfect whole. The woman who has in-vested in one or two patterned gownsneed not, therefore, despair. Much canbe done by careful unpicking, pressing,and clever piecing together, when alovely liningis needed for an eveningwrap or a day coat. As for the dip-ping hem, day time models led the wayin abandoning it, and now the latestevening frocks are following suit. Thisapplies more particularly to the"fluffy" type of dance dress.A Farewell Presentation.

A meeting of the staff of the Gov-ernment InsuranceDepartment was heldon Friday to bid farewell to Miss E. F.Bough on tho occasion of her retire-ment from tho service before her mar-riage. The Commissioner (Mr. A. E.Allison) presided, and in making a pre-sentation from the staff referred to theloyalty and faithful service given byMiss Bough during her association withtho Department. On behalf of himselfand the staff he wished Miss Bough allhappiness and good fortune in her fut-ure sphere. Mr. H. Hose (secretary)heartily endorsed tho remarks made bytho Commissioner,and Miss Hough suit-ably responded.Useful and Charming.

The girl who sits out a dunce occa-sionally to "cool down" will welcometho charming little garment I found re-cently in a Paris shop.. "Garment" ismerely a courtesy title, for it ia thedaintiest accessoryof the dance toiletteI have met for a long time, says awriter in an exchange. It is a littletulle cape, fashioned to hang grace-fully down the back and to drap effec-tively in front. At the neck it is edgedwith a fairly broad baud of white orcoloured marabou,and at tho lower edgeit is embroidered lightly in silver. Hav-ing already proved its worth, I com-mend it to you as a protection againstdraughts. The notion might well beexpressed in terms of dainty lace, chif-fon, tissue, or, if greater protectionwere desired, in velvet. With velvet,however,a strip of fur should take thoplace of tho marabou. The shawl isnot intended to be worn 'during thedance,but to be slipped on afterwardswhen tho risk of sudden chill duringthe cooling-downprocess is very;leal.

London Notes.News from "The Post's" London

correspondent, written on 24th Decem-ber includes the following items ot in-terest:—Awedding of New Zealand in-

terest took place at St. Clement Danes,I Strand, on loth December. The bride-i trroom was Euan William Galloway,younger son of the late Major W. A.Malcolm, of Dundee and London, andMrs. Malcolm, of Wellington. The bridewas Marjorie, only daughter of Mr.and Mr-. John William Lehmann, of57, Parkhurst road, London, and 2, NewCourt, Lincoln's Inn. ... A marriagehas been arranged between HenryStudholme,eldest surviving son of Mr.and Mrs. W. P. Studholme,of PerridgeHouse,Exeter, and Judith, daug tor ofMr. H. W. Whitbread, of Norton Bav-ant Manor, Warminster, Wiltshire. . . .Miss Priscilla C. Greenwood (Nelson)expects to remain in Englandfor abouta year, with a visit to the Continent.She hopes to devote a good deal of timeto musical study, which is her profes-sion, but at the moment she. has notmade any definite plans. . . . MissDorothy Pollen, formerly of Welling-ton, who has been residing for someconsiderable time in Paris, has gone tothe South of France, and is spendingChristmas at Cape Martin.New Table Kunners.

Inmakingnew tablerunners a'charsn-ing effect of pokerwork in colours maybe achieved by securing a length of"pressed" or Cut velvet and emphasis-ing part of its patterning with a quick-drying paintor colour varnish. A goodplan is to treat only a posy here anda spray there, for scattered groups willstand out more boldly than an all-over design, and will involve less work.Another notion is to use Chinesesleeve-hands as "ends" to a strip of blacksatin, bordered with gold galon andbullion fringe. This type of runner isespecially effective when a Chinese in-eense-b'urner, or a bronze Buddha, isused as a centre-piece. A bowl of re-production famille-rose, filled with,purple iris, either real or artificial,would similarlybe in the picture. Thenthere is the runner of which all butthe centre portion is composed of largewoc4en and glass beads woven into aneffective design. They are strung onstrong thread so that, even though thebeadwork hangs below the table top,there is small risk of damage. Broadtinsel ribbons, such as are usually soldfor bags, make splendidly bold runnersfor the table, and may bo selected toagree with the colour scheme of theroom. Artificial crochet silk can be cutup into deep fringes for the ends.Robert Burns Birthday Celebration.

A very happy evening was spent bymembers of the Caledonian Society tocelebrate the anniversary of the birthof the Scottish poet, Eobert Burns.(24th January). There was a largeaudience, including representatives ofkindred societies. Chief E. H. Nimmobegan the evening by stating that theconcert had been arranged by Mr. andMrs. G. Stark, so that radio listeners-in and others could .be assured of asplendid "all-Scotch" programme.Thesociety's band opened the- proceedingswith a pipe band selection. Followingthis Mr. and Mrs. G.Stark sang"ThereWas a Lad," rind as an encore (byspecial request) "The Crookit Baw-bee." Mr. Austin . Blackio gave"Mary" and "Mary of Argyle." The

IBoyd family and Miss Hazel Martingave a capital exhibition of the Sheaun-triubbhas and tho Highland Fling, andlater in the evening they danced theBeel of Tulloch and the Highland EeeLMrs. G. Stark sang"Ma He'rt is Sair"and "Cam' ye by Athol." Mr. Doug-las Stark was well received in twohumorous songs, "Eosie" and- "TheWedding o' Lauehie M'Graw." MissGreta Stark's numbers were "Whistleand I'll ComeTa©Ye" and "Within aMile of Edinburgh .Toon." Mr. G.Stark-sang "Scots Wha Hae" and "AMan's a Man for a' That." Mr. Alex.Stark gave "The Standard on theBraes of Mar" and "Bonnie Dundee."An address,"The Immortal Memory ofEobert Burns," delivered by Chief E.H. Nimmo, held the. attention of theaudience from beginningto end. Laterthe hall was in darkness, and tho"Haggis," heralded by two pipers, wasborne aloft round the hall. The "Hag-gis" was surmounted by the Scotsnational flag and the illuminated St.Andrew's Cross. The address, "To aHaggis," was rendered in splendidstyle by Mr. J. Lothian, who also in-tensely amused the. audience with acomic recitation.- Mr. Alex. Stark wasan excellent accompanist. The singiugof the National Anthem brought to aclose one of the best concerts givon bythe Caledonian Society. The itemswere well selected and well rendered.Owing to the limited time on the radio"haggis" and supper were servedafterthe concert. Dancing followed untilmidnight.New Ideas in Weddings.

There is no doubt that 192Shas beena year of large weddings that have al-most assumed the appearance of musi-cal revues, with their bevies of brides-maids, and the elaborate decorationsthat form the background for the cere-mony (states a Canadaianpaper). Butnow, if the bride elects to follow an in-novation at a recent American wedding,the ceremony will become more thanever like a musical chorus. Instead ofwaiting for the bride at the front door,the attendants formed in the back, andat the first strains of tho WeddingMarch came from each side and passedup the main aisle to meet the bride atthe front door. Then, with the ushersleading the way, they preceded thebride up the aisle. The woman's editorof this particular paper, in reportingtho incident, cynically suggests thatsince the bridesmaids are at last get-ting their measure of attention, per-haps someone will turn attention to thatmuch-neglected feature of the wedding,the bridegroom, and arrange a specialprocession for him.The "Mad" Room.

Unusual furnishings are always mostintriguing (writes "Lady Kitty" in,tho Adelaide "Observer"), Here is adescription of a room that was spokenof as "mad" by one to whom it didnot appeal. Certainly it sounds asthough it might be difficult to livewith. "The 'mad' room, Jet,me tollyou, had black varnished walls and redvarnished ceiling, the colour of fadedred lacquer. The lights were arrangedin chandeliers of cut glass and tho car-pet was of i rather stronger shade ofred than the ceiling. Tho paint wasblack with dull gold mouldings, thocolour of which was reproduced in thogalon which was used on the red andbiscuit coloured brocade curtains, andon _ tho tall-backed upholstered chairs,which were covered in the same bro-cade. The only pieces of furniture inthe room were tho table (round, black,anaglass covered), and the chairs. Thiswas possible because a serving roomopened out of the dining-room. Therewas no fireplace, tho room being warm-ed by some arrangement of heat whichemerged through panels' in the walls.I ictures there were none, and the onlyornament was a great Chinesevase onan ebony stand which stood in a cor-ner.

. A wedding which has aroused muchinterest in racing circle's took place atat

n*ow'8 Church, " PalmerstonJNorth this afternoon. . Miss G. Haher,wjio has enjoyed no littlo success asa trainer of racehorses, was marriedto Mr. Alan M< Donald, the,well-knownsteeplechase jockey.

A SPIRITED ESSAYAIMLESS SOCIETY GIRLS

HOW TO BE OF VALUE

The Hon. Theodora Benson,who recentlypublished her first novel, writes interest-ingly in the London "Daily Chronicle ]about givls whom she may be supposed toknow well, and, therefore,her.opinion isworth while reading and considering. MissBenson says:—"It is being said by the critics on the

housetops that the modern girl of theleisured class is without aim or purpose.

It is implied that she is without value oruse. Such generalisations are imperfectand sweeping. But, since they are made,we stand in need of defence,and, if thatfails, we must fall back, alas, upon im-provement."If an 'aimless girl' is one without a

jobor a husband,many of us must bow tothe reproach. While our parents prefer tokeep us, we mustnotearn our livings, evenif we can, since there are not enoughsalaried posts for those who are obliged towork for bread. Few of us have any apti-tude for a career, and in many coses ourparents like us to live at home. To thisextent we cannot help being aimless. ButI think we only deserve the term whenwe are content to drift and do not makethe best of our lives, such as they are, ina small way.

"Has the average society girl any aimin life? Shehas at least a vague desire tobe successfuland happy without violatingher rather indefiniteprinciples. This doesnot sound very exalted,but it is somethingto start with, and the pity is that someof us do not take active measures abouteven this ideal. A happy person is oneof the pleasant things of life, and it ismonstrous how many of us seem to thinkit-quite clever and interesting, to begloomy.

"If we reallyattacked with spirit thisuniversal aim of being successful andhappy, we should be of some value to thecommunity. And there are some simple,obvious rules to guide us. First of all, wemustrealise that life owes us nothing. Onthe contrary, we are deeply in its debt,and if we who have youth and health andall material blessings cannot keep ourselvesamused and good in this lovely world, itis a poor show,and nobody else will do itfor us. ■:

LIFE EASIER FOR BROTHERS."Life is easier for our brothers in one

way; they have their regular hours ofwork. Still, we shall be able to keep oc-cupied if only we will cultivate our tastesand interests. Someof us could do withmore exercise. Keeping fit is very import-ant, and we should take trouble over ourriding or tennis or swimming or walking.Any tastes we have we must follow up;and if we have time we can acquire. newones. Life is worth a little trouble. Any-thing is boring to a person who won't beinterested.

"It helps to keep our minds in goodtraining if we can have someregular hoursof occupation. Girlswho attend courses oflectures, or who work for charity on cer-tain days of the week,find that it givesthem a new interest, and that pleasure-seeking is more enjoyable by contrast.Then,as to the social part of our existence,it is surely good for us to make the effortto be amiable and lively and amused,andvery, bad for us to go about with boredfaces—not to say rude.

"Finally,we shall never make a successof life nor be happy if we have no definitemoral purpose. This is not xlifficult to rea-lise. Clearly, deceit is worrying, ill-temper and discontent are miserable,while, curiously enough, it is the selfishones, the grabbing ones, who are thegrumblers of this world. Moreover, weall have a spiritual side. We are movedby truth and beauty, and we long to helpthose less fortunate than ourselves. Butwe shall never achieve anything if we donot try very vigorously, and if we don'twe shall not be happy, since happinessandgoodness are tied up together.

NEED OF SPIRITUAL AIMS."Perhaps we are rash in ignoring,as wo

so often do, the help of the Church.Surely, as we live in a land made as kindlyand as comfortable as it is by.Christianity,.it is rather slack' and ungrateful not tosupport our Church. Besides, how darewe speak slightingly of it? For what isthe Church? Not only the courageousandhard-working clergy, but you and I. Atany rate, if we allow ourselves to have nomoral and spiritual aim we shall be neitherkind nor happy, and when youth . hasslipped through our' fingers we shall feelthat that lovely time was not worth while.Thus, indeed, we should be "aimlessgirls"! .".'...■

But we should be careful how we con-demn any girl as aimless without' know-ledge of her life. Shemay do incalculablegood by cheerfulness and ordinary kind-ness, and we must take into considerationthe place she fills in her family."

EGGS FOR BURNS

We are liable to despise home reme-dies, but I have found this euro forscalds (writes a correspondent to anexchange) which was given me by aretired woman physician, to be one ofpriceless value. Both of my handswere terribly scalded with boiling water,and my doctor was away. The intensesuffering was almost unbearable, andsoda and oil seemed not to ease thepain. Word was sent us to breakseveral eggs and lay the unbeatenwhites on cotton wool, then wrap thehands in it. This was done, and Iwasput to bed, faint and ill from the agony.The next morning, to my delight, Ifound that niy hands were in theirnormal condition, without even a signleft of the hurt. Since then I haveused it on servants and others, alwayswith the same wonderful results.

WOMAN'S REVOLT

MAN-MADE MORALITY

A NEW CODE IN FORCE

"Yes, indeed,people one never wouldhavemet when I was young.'' I caughtthe phrase as I came into the room,and looked at the speaker, writes "AMiddle-aged Woman" in the "DailyChronicle." She 'was, like me, notmore than middle-aged. She had apleasant face and attractive manner.In a few moments our hostess broughtthe conversation back to where it hadbroken off when I entered.

"You were speaking of the tolera-tion with which people who have beeuinvolved in scandals are received insociety," she said. "Do go on. Iquite agree that there has been agreat change in that respect.""It is a revolution, my dear," said

the first speaker. "And I cannotunderstand what has caused it. Whyare we so slack about morality whenour fathers and mothers were so par-ticular? I'm.sure you remember thetime as well as I do (though we wereboth young, of course) when a divorcedwoman found almost all doors closed toher. As a rule, such people wentabroad to live."

"Yes," I said, as she paused andlooked.round as if for support, "I sawa play tho other day, called 'The BestPeople,'by Somerset Maugham. Inthat there is a peer who ran awaywith a' friend's wife many years ago.The woman tells how everyone cut her,and how she and her peer had to takerefuge in Italy, where they lived uncom-fortably, and always in fear that some-one might behave insultingly to her."

"That was perfectly true—of thatperiod. There was a hard-and-fast linethen between what society consideredright and what it called wrong.. Nowit seems to me there is no such line."

Well, I thought about this, and I de-cided to consult a philosopher of myacquaintance. In a long life he hasseen many sides of life and many partsof the world. He smiled when I toldhim what my errand was.

"Why," he said, "you and yourfriends must be curiously unobservant.This change you talk of has been goingon for a long time. The cause of it isthat womeu -no longer accept man-made morality, as they once did. Theyhave thought about things for them-selves, and they have substituted fortho standards which men set up a newset of their own..,'

"That seems to surprise you," liewent on. "You haven't been keepingyour views up to date. ' This process ofsubstitution began half a century ago.It is rather less than fifty years sincea play called 'A Doll's House' wasproduced in London (after it had madehistory in Scandinavia).

'tin that play a woman came upagainst, men's, morality in the matterof a cheque she had forced to save herdying father. Her husband was furiouswith her so long as ho thought her'crime' would be found out and wouldreflect shame on him. When that dangerpassed he was ready to forgive her. Butshe refused to be forgiven. She lefthome and slammed tho door, and thenoise of that door slamming awakenedwomen in all countries to thoughtswhich had not entered their heads be-fore.

"Then in Germany another dramatist,Sudermann, wroto plays encouragingthe idea that women had tlie right to apoint of view of their own, and soonthere wore any number of books anddramas being published and producedon the same lines. There wore angryprotests, of course, chioily from men,who said, 'This sort of tiling will un-dermine the foundations of society.'

Well, tlioso men were right. They arelaughed at now, but they did see whatwas happening. The foundationsof thesociety they knew have been blown up.

"Men had based society upon theirright to possess their wives. Theytherefore made it as unpleasant as pos-sible for any wife who declined to re-gard herself as a 'possession' of herhusband. Husbands made the rules,and if wives broke them they wereturned, out.

"Gradually that view of marriagegave way. Women were encouragedbyIbsen and Sudermann and otherwriters, chiefly men writers, to lookclosely into the arrangements whichhad prevailed up to that time. Theycame to the conclusion tliat it was aone-sided bargain which women wereexpected to make when they married.

"They were to be h'xod do.wn for life.They were at the mercy of their hus-bands in many ways—in some wayswhich to them wore very important.They could not- make a, change if theyfound that their tirst choice of a hus-band was a failure—unless they wereprepared to go and live in the wilds.Yet all the time men were at liberty toroam from their lawful spouses a3often asthey pleased.

"Women came to the conclusion thatthis was unfair. They revolted againstman-made morality. They declined tobe treated as 'possessions.' They de-clared that they had a right lo changepartners if they wanted to, and asoften as they pleased. They claimedthe right also, to determine the sizeof their families, and even whetherthere should be a family at all.

"Thus there came, into existence a.New 'Morality—women's morality, notmen's. You think probably that thisis degeneration. Dou't bo too cock-sure about that. You don't like itbecause it is different from what youwere brought up to. But just look atthe women of to-day, taking vthem allround, and ask yourself if they are,in essence, inferior to the women of25, 30, 40 years.ago.

"Different, yes. They are the pro-duct of different ideas, different ideals,different standards of right and wrong—in a word, of a new morality. It willtake time to see how this new morality-works. Centuries, perhaps. But thereis no" need, as far as I can see, todespair of it."

MEASURING A HAYSTACKThe process oi' measuring and esti-

mating' llto contents and weight of ahaystack are simple arithmetical oper-ations (says a writer in ail exchange).In the case of the former the rule is:Multiply (in feet) the length by thebreadth, and by the sum of the heightfrom the ground to the eaves and onethird of the height from the eaves tothe peak. Example: Kreadth 20 feet;length 25 feet; height to caves 10 feet;eaves to peak 3 feet—20 by 25 by 11(one third of 3 plus 10) equate 550cubic feet. ' .

The finding of the weight or thestack depends upon the number ofcubic feet by which to divide in orderto arrive at the number of tons Theright number to divide by is 250 forsheafedhay of good quality, weii head-ed and not too Jong in the stein. Ifthe sheafed hay is long and thick intire stem, and not so well headed, thenumber of cubic feet-to the ton willvary; from 250 to 300, the time thestack has been up, of course, and itssolidity being elements in the calcula-tion; but the ;figures«do not, in any easeexceed 300. For loose hay, on theother hand—that is, hay mown andcocked in the field—it takes a largenumber of cubic feet to make a ton. Ifthis class of hay is very good—that is,cut greenwith a good head and uot toocoai-se—3so cubi^ feet to the ton is afair divisor—zut if it is very coarseandfluffy, and has not been long in thestack, it will tako 400 cubic feet toweigh a ton. Evou in this case, how-ever, 400 is the extreme divisor.

OIL FOR FISH PACKINGSPAIN USING NUT PRODUCTS

LONG TRADITION BROKEN

Recently the Spanish Government au-thorised the importation of oil extractedfrom earth-nuts for use in the fish-pack-ing industry. Usually Spain docs notallow the use of any but olive oil inthe canning of such fish as sardines andtunny, but this year the price hasreached so high a figure that a substi-tute is, for a while, to be permitted,though not for canned food for homeconsumption.

Cuba,one of her best customers, l.aspointed out, however, that what is notgood enough for Spaniards is not goodenough for lier own people, a point ofview which complicates matters consid-erably as far as this particular businessis concerned.

The material welfare of Spain is inti-mately bound up. with olive oil.' Oil ofolives was manufactured even in themiddle ages,in Seville. Nearly halfthe world's total output of the oil issupplied by Spain, namely, from ■SOO,----000 to 1,000,000tons per annum, two-thirds of which are produced in the pro-vince of Andalusia. Here a young por-soj] 's marriage portion is still counted ina number of olive trees or of "fane-gas" of the greenfruit. In the winterseason, bands of labourers from Galieiaand Portugal emigrate to the south toearn their livelihood as harvesters.Their food consists of a handful or twoof olives, bread, and a can full of oilin which they dip their bread and frytheir meat.

Happily the days have gonewhen thecacique or lord of the land, payingwageschiefly in oil, plus a pittance ofa few reales,provided the cans for mea-suring the oil pressed, with a false bot-tom with which he cheated them out oftheir labour. The clubs ,of village la-bourers still preserve such cans as relicsin certain parts of Andalusia,, whererepeated riots broke out until a stopwas put to the practice. \

MODERN PLANTS INCREASE,Although there are still many old-

tirno presses, modern plants are spring-ing up everywhere. The delicacy of thefiner grades of oil requires perfectcleanliness and the workmen wear .whiteoveralls which are washed and re-placeddaily. Spain's nourishing soap industryis the direct outcome of tho olive oilby-product, obtained from the fruitafter the tirst pressing, tho refusebeingtreated chemically to extract what re-mains. ■'■ .

Spain is the great world producer,but Italy is the distributor. Largoquantities of oil are bought up byItalian blenders who brand the oil withwell-known names and export it abroad.Italy has her own- olive fields,but mostof the "Italian" oil is of Spanish ori-gin-

To some extent, the use of oil hasperhaps accounted for Spain's compara-tive isolation in Europe. The proverbialoiliness of Spanish dishes.has certainly,and long before the days of Borrow,earned for the cookr of this country adistinctive reputation.

The traveller in Spain off the beatentrack will still get plenty of olivo oilwherever the excellence of homely cook-ing is measured by the quantities sup-plied. But devotion to the frying panis become less and less now that Spainis developing her own coalfields, and■gasovens bid fair to replace the char-coal fed "anafe." Moreover, every-where new hotels are corning into beingand in the main cities those can. com-pare with the finest of any country.-

The preparation of the new register ofBritish Voters, .which includes nearly27,000,000names, will cost the coimtrvneiirly £280,000.

WOMAN ABDUCTED

A MELANESIAN STORY

BISHOP'S FIGHT FOR RIGHT

A light between the Bishop of Mela-nesia (Dr. F. Merivalc Molyneux) andtlie skipper.o£ a French ship for thepossession of a native woman, who hadbeen abducted, is described in letterswritten by the bishop and the Rev. K.Godfrey,-to the "Southern CrossLog,"and published in the "Sydney MorningHerald" just prior to the departure ofthe Tahiti, which arrived at Wellingtonthis morning.

"On my way to Qatnapnifrom Laina-langa I knew I was to pass a Frenchrecruiting vessel," the Bishop writes,"which had on board a young marriedwoman! The chief of her village andher husband had both been to the vesselto ask the man to release her, but _invain; so I took them in my boat with.me, and—well, to out a long story short,I got the woman oil, and saw her andher husband and chief well on the wayback to their village, leaving theFrenchman not in the best of tempers."

A more detailed account is given bythe Key. E. Godfrey in another letter,as follows:—"The bishop interviewed the French-man and asked him to give up thewoman to her husband; he pointed outthe illegalityof the action, which theFrenchman admitted, but flatly refusedto give her up. He said to the bishop,'You can report me to the Government,'knowing that nothing would be done.

"The bishop thereupon decided thatlie would take the law into his ownhands and,rescue the girl. When heintimated that.he was coming on boardthe cutter, the Frenchman produced arifle, and said that he would shoot thefirst man who stepped on board.

"The bishop replied: 'Then you willshoot me and take the consequences.'Forbidding any of the natives to followhim, he stepped on board, seized theFrenchman's rifle, and forced themuzzle down lest he should shoot.

"The Frenchman struggled to get therifle away, and called on his crew (adozen men) to attack the bishop. Oneburly man came forward with a log ofwood, -and belaboured tho bishop overhis arms and legs. He was rather badlybruised, the skin was taken off one ofhis shins, and his watch-glass wassmashed.:. . ' . .

"But .while this was going on, thegirl's husband,got her- into the boat,and, the bishop, when ho saw that shewas safe, let go the rifle and. followedher. The Frenchman was furious, andmade all sorts of threats.

■ "The bishop was unable to unbuttonhis clothes that evening,- but he wasquite recovered the next day; hisskinned shin only is giving him a. littletrouble—not healing too well."

Diplomatic communications betweenthe Dominions Offico and the FrenchGovernmentare expected to follow a re-port of the incident, which is beingmade by,British administrative officialsin the islands.

DAIKY INDUSTRY

QUALITYAND PRICES

Mr. William Goodfellow,managing direc-tor of the.New Zealand Co-operative DairyCompany, is reported to have concurredwith Sir Thomas Clementin criticisms ofthe quality of ISTewZealand cheese. Mr.Goodfellowsaid: "Complaints of opennessiv cheese have been frequently receivedfrom London, and experiments are in pro-gress to determine the exact cause.Whether or not this is due entirely to ex-cessive moisture is open to question. NodouW'there'arb""certain factorieswhich inthe past have made a practice of obtain-ing a big yield by incorporating an undulyhigh percentage of moisture. The resultis a big pay-out, but this,is obtained at theexpense of those factorieswhich manufac-ture cheese of a high standard."

The decline in quality of butter thisseason had been due mainly to a very wet.spring and also to excessive competition,Mr. Goodfellowcontinued. Some dairycompanies were endeavouring to hold sup-pliers and attract -other suppliers by under-grading, making it easy for suppliers toobtain the premium for the finest or firstgrade. A serious position bad arisen. Heconsidered the drastic-remedy should beadopted beforenext spring of appointingindependent Government ' cream-graders,who would be paid for by the industry.Existing cream graders were in the employof eoriipanies.

"The quality of the dairy produce ex-ported is a matter of vital concern to thecountry as well as to dairy farmers,"said Mr. Goodfellow. "It is to be re-gretted that other leading London producemerchants have not the courage to tellthe industry what is required by the con-sumers. Unfortunately it has been shownthat business was frequently lost whenotherLondon firms sent out bad reports tofactories. The result has been that fac-tories now seldom receive other than fav-ourable reports from their respectiveagents."

MAORI ETIQUETTECHIVALRY IN WAR

DEEDS OF COUETESY

"The etiquette of war shows a verycomplex side of the Maori character,"stated Mr. T. W. Downes,of Wanganui,in the course of a paper on Maori eti-quette presented to the anthropologysection of the Science Congress atAuckland. "Again and again we comoacross deods of bravery and courtesythat would assuredly have earned deco-rations had there been such things inthose days, and on the other handambuscade and treacherous deceit seemto have been part of the' accepted code."I am informed by my Wanganui

friends that in the old clays it was thecorrect thing to send word of the timeof an intended attack, as, for instance,when Kailiau shouted to his enemies,'When the moon is full expect me,' "continued " Mr. Dowries. "Usually in-formation was sent to a besieged pawhen the general assault by stormwould take place, so that the garrisonwould be ready. When the battle ofMotua was fought on the WanganuiEiver in 1864 the friendly natives drewup and allowed the Hauhaus to laud fromtheir canoes at the northern end of theisland and form up before ail attackwas made. The Hauhaus on their partgave notice of the time of landing.

'' During ablockade it was no uncom-mon thing for a member of the attack-ing party to visit the besieged pa onfriendly terms. If the besieged partywas in very sore straits as to food orwater it was a recognised form of waretiquette to allow a- certain amount ofwater to enter the pa with the mes-sengers,but of course water in anyquantity or in calabashes was prohibit-ed. Food was sometimes permitted inmuch the same way. When the Maka-toto pa, near Reatuke, was besiegedthe people inside were in such straitsthat they were exchanging children tokeep the fighting men alive. In themidst of their trouble a man called forPehi Turoa, the leader of the besiegingparty, and, letting down his son, alad named Apanui, by a rope, he criedout, 'Have a name for mercy, and sparemy son.' Pehi took the lad, and tyingon twelve sticks of dried kumara, criedin return, 'Pull up the rope. Here isnew couragefor you.'"I cannot find that such acts as

these were common, and it seems prob-able that they only occurred between'liapus that were connected by familyties or possibly, as the above incidentsuggests, to add to the lustre of the vic-tor's crown. In the case of a singlecombat, which was quite common be-tween chiefs of opposing companies,etiquette demanded that the challengershould give the choice of weapons tohis adversary."

OUR HISTORYHINDERED BY REMINISCENCES

In the course of a paper on the NewZealand Archives read at the ScienceCongress in Auckland, Dr. G. H. Schole-field, Controller of Dominion Archives,said he hoped that the establishmentof the division of Archives in New Zea-land would materially help to set thestudy of New Zealand history on a pro-per scientific basis.

"Up to the present," said Dr. Scholc-field, "history in New Zealand has beenoppressed by the worship of recollec-tions and reminiscences of 'old identi-ties.' Such memories, interesting asthey may be, are of very little valuefrom the historical point of view, andthe prominence that is given to themby well-meaning people and societiesimparts an entirely wrong perspectiveto the study of our history. It standsto reason that the recollections of themost intelligentperson regarding eventsthat happened even fifty years agocannot possibly have the accuracy thatcharacterises a contemporary letterwritten by even a moderately educatedperson at the time the events occurred.

"Diaries ,or letters written at thetime the events occurred are of the very,highest value, and I hope that as the:years go by families in New Zealand'will be encouraged to make public se-lections of the letters and journals'writ-,ten by their ancestors in the early daysof the colony. Several such have ap-peared lately—notably the Grace, Bid-will; and Butler letters—and they havea real value in the:history of New Zea-land." ..:,, .".-'

SAFETY AT SEA

BRITAIN'S GREAT RECORD

AN AMEKICAN'S TESTIMONY

(From "The Post's" Representative.)SAN FEANCISCO, 12th Dec.

In view of tho recent tragedy of thosteamer Vestris, and . the discussionswhich have resulted, a paper read be-fore the National Safety Council byCaptain C. A. M'Allister, president ofthe American Bureau of Shipping, isof especial interest, dealing as it doeswith tho subject of the magnificentwork tho British have accomplished inprotecting lives at sea. Captain M'Al-lister is a national authority on ships,shipping, and matters pertaining to thosea, and his paper, on " Safety atSea," is based largely on British per-formances.

"You will note," lie writes in Uie"San Francisco Shipping Register,""that I have dealt at length on Bri-tish load lines, for the fact is that theyhave taken the initiative in all matterspertaining to the safety of ships atsea, in this respect, "At the International Shipping Con-ference,held in London in June, it wasstated that in the last 25 years Britishshipping has averaged 4,000,000,000passenger miles per annum and 200passengers have been drowned per an-num, or one passenger to every 20,000,----000 miles," ho continued.

"Although it has been said that.onecan make any kind of a case fromstatistics, this is surely a remarkablerecord and shows wonderful progressfrom that of the seven years 1846----1853,when no fewer than 61 Britishemigrant ships were lost at sea, a stateof affairs which resulted hi the Merch-ant Shipping Act of 1854, the begin-ning of active government control in

British shipping, so far at least, asthe laying down oil safety regulationswas concerned.

"There is no doubt that travel on.thehigh seas is becoming iitcroasingly

safer, and this is duo in a largo mea-sure to tho. growth in sizeof ships, thechange from wood to steel as a mater-ial of construction, combined with the-application of scientific methods tostructural design, the change iroin sailto'mechanical propulsion, ■■ to superiornavigating equipment and aids to navi-

gation, to government safety regula-tions, the licensing of officers and on-einecra, and.last, but not least, to thebeneficent influenceof the various clas-sification societies' rules and regula-

tions."

SAVING THE BUFFALOCANADIAN ACTIVITY

(From "The Post's" Representative.)VANCOUVER, 12th December.

Of all the administrative acts of thoDominion of Canadain preserving nat-

ural resources none has moro mtorestfor the visitor than the steps that arebeing taken to liand-feed tho buffaloand reindeer in their native wilds. Ihotask in regard to tho buffalo w not sodifficult. All that remains of the herds,

that once roamed the Prairie at willcomprise two breeding herds in nationalpreserves in Alberta, one at Wam-wright, dose by the trans-continentalrailway of the "National" system, andaccessible to the tourist, the other iai-Hicr north in the Wood Buflalo Ke-

The buffalo will paw away deep snow,-:ts ho has always done, and get his nat-ural food, :,biit range grass is getfuuglimited, and the-park authorities aendout sJeigh loads of feed during theworst of the winter months.

"We wore monarchs of this la,nd long

EARL HAIG

HIS LONDON CHURCH

A MEMORIAL 'UABLKT

(From "The Post's" RoprownUtlve.)LONDON, 2nd November

Last week tho Duke of York, accom-panied by tho Duchess of York, unveil-ed a tablet to the memory of Keld-Marshal Lord Haig .of Bemersyde inSt. ,Columba'.s(Church of Scotland),Pont street, Chelsea.The memorial waserected by tho congregation of thechurch, of which Lord Haig was amember,and in which he held officeas

an elder, as the inscription records.—In this church in 1921 he was ordainedan elder of the Church of Scotland,

And here for three days his body restedere it was taken for burial

to Drybnrgh Abbey.He led tho British Annies to victory

iv the European War of 1914-1918.And dedicated tho remainder of his lifeto tho welfare of his former comradesand of the relatives of those who died.

The background of the tablet is ablack slab of "Bleu Beige," whichconies from quarries in Belgium, some-where on the battle front. The slab onwhich the inscription is written is of"hind flenri," and conies from Boul-ogne, a British base port during thuwar, the object being to -get suitablemarbles representing France and Bel-gium. The Crosson tho top of the stoneis of "Lapis Lazuli." Close to tho tab-lot is tho memorial to 71 members ol:the congregation who died in the war,and immediately opposite it is the tab-lot to the memory of Lord Balfour ofBurleigh, which was unveiled by thePrince of Wales n'vo years ago. Al-most above it hang the Coloursof the2nd Battalion (now disbanded) of theLondon Scottish.

AVhilo Dr. Archibald Fleming pro-nounced the dedication, the church wasstill and'kneeling, and then tlio assem-bly rose to hear the Duke of York'sshort and simple sentences offered intribute to the past.

"I now unveil a memorial)," ho said,"to a-'great soldier and a groat Scots-man in the church in which ho worship-ped and bore office. No memorial isneeded to him in the hearts of the ex-sorvico men, to whoso interests lit: de-voted himself with unfailing devotionfrom the declaration of peace to thelast day of his life. It is- fitting, how-ever, that this tablet should ever re-mind those who worshipped hero of alife devoted to duty and to tho serviceof "his country."

PETONE AFFAIRS

MEETING OF BOROUGHCOUNCIL

The fortnightly meeting of the Pe-tone Borough Council was hold on Mon-day. Present: Mr. D. M'Kenzie(Mayor) and Councillors A. Scholefield,J. Ashley, J. Ouiuming,V. Jaeobson,J..W. Longman, W. 11. Edwards, E. N.Campbell, and D. M'Carthy.

Tho Minister for Public Works statedthat ho would look into the question,raised by the council, of placing thestreets in the Government subdivisionsin a good state of repair.

The present owner of a concreteblock factory inquired if it were truothat the council would refuse permis-sion to carry on the manufacture ofconcrete materials in this position. Itwas explained that the-original,occu-piers had gone into liquidation, andthat .it was desired to reopen the fac-tory under a new tenancy.

Councillor Scholefield said it wasclear that under tho resolution of thecouncil, whicli does not allow factories*■* iilis area, tho council could notgrant permission. - .

Other councillors considered it wouldbo a great hardship,, as tho factory wasalready there, and they also doubted ifin the circumstances the council couldrefuse permission. Councillor Jacobsonsaid it was unwise to harrass proposedindustries. .'. - ' ...

The- matter was held over pending alegal opinion7on the question.

The Petoiie Bowing Club asked thecouncil to give further consideration toits demand for the installation of awater meter by the club. It was do-,cided'to allow tho club ths use of waterunder tho supervision of the beach careltaker.

Tho question of the appointment oftwo members to represent tho councilon the Fire Board was held over untilnext meeting.

Councillor Jaeobson moved,"That inview of tho changed conditions, worescind the motion passed some sixmonths ago relative to korb-sido pumpsand allow tho present pumps to remain,but refrain from issuing any newlicenses." The motion was. lost,' thomover and Councillor Longman beingthe only supporters.

On the motion of Councillor Ed-wards, it was resolved to prohibit pleas-ure boat owners approaching, areas oc-cupied by swimmers.

The Engineer, was asked to arrangeto have built at tho main bathing shedslockers in whicli bathers could depositvaluables. Ho was also asked to reporton the best means of meeting tho diffi-culty in regard to tho Cula streetsheds.

On tho suggestion of Councillor Cuni-ming, the Mayor is to approach theRailway Bus Department with a viewto having the; scale of fares revised,and also on the suggestion of Council-lor Longman, to bring before the De-partment the question of overcrowdingon the buses. ■"''.

Councillor Campbell suggested thesetting up of a committee to go intothe question of town-planning in thePetone Borough. Councillors Sehole-field and Jacobson considered the ques-tion one for experts. Councillor Schole-fiold suggested-; that the Lower HuttBorough be approached with a view tocombined action.

The Mayor was asked to see theMayor of Lower Hutfr.and'report at thonext council meeting. . ' .The following .report by tho. Works'Committee was.approved, with the ex-ception of the clause relating to Udystreet extension, which was referred to

tho. borough 4 solicitor for a legal opin-ion as to the powers of tho council tosell tho section referred to: "Tho com-mittee lias conferred with representa-tives of tho Plunket Society, and hasinspected tho existing building. It isrecommended that the engineer conferwith'-the executive and the iiursc, andbring down a report, with an estimateo- tho cost of improvements to thoexisting building. In regard to tho ex-tension-of Udy street, tho position isthat..one..house must bo removed,andit is recommended that it be placedupon a site in Udy street, approximate-ly 50ft X IOOft, adjacent to the exist-ing boundary fonco of ' Mr. Kibble-white, the land, with the houso there-on, to bo then sold. It is recommendedthat the engineers confer, prior tfo thesubmitting of tho water loan proposal,relative to tho method in which thefirst instalment. . £20,000 is to bo ex-pended, and the portion of the town tobe dealt with .first."- :

Tho 'Mayor-.explained.'that'ho hadhad an interview with the Mayor ofWellington on tho subject of tlje re-fusal of the City. Council to hear re-presentations from the Petone Councilon tho subject of what streets the East-bourne buses should use, and it hadbeenascertained that the refusal had beea"given under a misapprehension. It wastherefore decided that the Mayor shouldaccept the invitation to place, the viewsof the Petone Council before tho CityCouncil, as tho bus controlling author-ity) .on Ist February.

Tho^ council still adhered to,its.reso-lution.-to place a remit beforethe Muni-taipal-. Conference, asking that coun-cils be given direct representation, onall boards which deal with questionsrelating to their own boroughs.

CITY MANAGERSTHE AMERICAN SYSTEM

STILL AN EXPERDIENT

(From "The Post's" Representative.)NEW YORK, 2Gth December:

Philadelphia is contemplating the institu-tion of the city manager plan of civilgovernment. It is just twenty years sincethe first city managerin the United Statestook up duty in Stauntou,Virginia. Theplan has worked well in many communities,although its general application. was butrecent, and it is yet too early to acclaimit a perfect cure for civic ills.Philadelphia,whose traditional pride hashad a severe shock in the revelations ofcorruption amongits police, is nowadaystaking counsel with itself. None of itspolice who served in the city during theliquor corruption period will ever be allow-ed to serve there again. They have allbeen transferredto up State centres. ABill has been drafted to provide for the

■creation of a metropolitan police forceunder State control and,for the introduc-tion of, the city manager plan.■ The city manager plan must not be con-fusedwith commission government. Thatscheme,which does not include any su-preme administrative chief, has for itsfoundation a commission embracing bothexecutive and legislative powers. Eachmember of the elected commission headsa department of the city government.Likethe small council system, commission rulelacks the distinguishingfeatureof the citymanagerplan indicated by its title.

During 1928 352 cities had managers.Cleveland is the largest that made the ex-periment and Cincinnati is second. Thepeopleof Cleveland decided last year,aftera four-year trial, to continue the plan. Itsmanager' had been president of severallargo business concerns. Clevelandpays

■him £5000a year. .Cincinnati's manager,now in his third year, was a graduate ofWest Point, and showed high administra-tive ability as Superintendentof Buildingsand Groundsat Washington. "

BURGOMASTER PRINCIPLE;Since the city managersof Cincinnati,Dayton, and several other importantmuni-:cipalities were imported from other com-

munities,«the: -impression . has gainedground that it is the custom, under thisplan, to choose none-residents exclusivelyfor this position. This is a featureof theGermanprofessional burgomaster, . fromwhich theAmerican planhas been liberallyborrowed. But a survey shows that slight-ly more than half the present city mana-gerswere residents of their communitiesat the time of their appointment. How-ever, the Philadelphia Bureau of Muni-cipal Research reports that the experienceof the last ten years suggests that, whena community first adopts the plan, it ismore likely to select an outsider for themanagership. As the plan becomes 6table,local men seem to be the favourites.This preference for-local men, however,limits the opportunity of transfer, andmakes the profession less inviting as acareer, in the opinion of the Research Bu-reau, which has expressed the fear that con-tinuance of this tendency probably wouldbring to an end the manager' movement.Someobservers think,' however,that ad-ministrative experts will acquire more andmore freedom to circulate. Examinationof 167 city charters show that 159 donot require local residence as a managerialqualification. Younger men, naturally, arepreferred.. . .
