BOWLS

NOTES AND COMMENTS

[By “KITTY"]

It has been apparent during theweekly presentations of our leadinglocal players that there is no dearthof keen and able exponents of thegame in Christchurch, and their re-cords make interesting reading. To-day there is presented T. Chambers,Sumner, who has an enviable recordthroughout the Dominion.

Joining the club in 1916, when Sum-ner possessed a wealth of bowlingtalent and a keen green, Chamberssoon acquired proficiency and a placeon the honours board. As a winner ofthe Sumner singles, pairs, and rinkschampion titles, each on five occasions,he has proved himself a versatile andefficient player. In the season justconcluded he won all three titles, afeat only twice before accomplished,by J. S. Martin and by H. H. Barlow.

Chambers has another proud record,that of having won the local Eastertournament on three occasions. Twoof these wins, in 1936 and 1937, wereconsecutive, and on both his rinkplayed right through without losing agame. It was a wonderful feat. As-sociated with J. S. Martin, now Auck-land champion, he was three times inthe semi-final of the Dominion tourna-ment, /

Chambers possesses the right tem-perament, acquired by years of ex-perience in big contests, and alwaysinspires confidence. He has done hisshare in club work, too. and is at pre-sent on the Sumner Club executiveand its sole selector. He has filled thepresident’s chair and the office of sec-retary, altogether a very creditablerecord.

Easter TournamentJ. D. Marks is surely the most suc-

cessful player of the season, one whohas put the seal on his ability as aversatile and able player. Any bowlerwould be elated at winning the Mad-dison Trophy singles championship,which he did a month ago. To followthat, to skip the winning Easter rinkwith the loss of only one game in theseries of 11, stamps him as a playerof class. He was, of course, well sup-ported by his team—all experiencedplayers—:for the failure of one at anyhead was generally repaired by acompanion, so that the skip’s part waseased a lot.

, „,

The rink fitted in splendidly andseldom lost confidence. It is con-ceded that a successful rink must beable to "carry” its skip, and this theChristchurch rink was able to do. Inreturn, Marks got in many saving

shots at critical times. W. S. Seedwas a very efficient lead; Alex Dey,good on the head and playing well toposition; but the palm for constructiveplay surely goes to A. Kinvig as sec-ond player, who gave a sterling ac-count of himself. •

, ,.

A skip who must run Marks closelyfor the crown is the Shirley player,F. C. H. Williams. Runner-up as skipin the centre doubles and rinks, midnow the Easter tournament, is a tri-bute to steady play over the season.In the final game on the Spreydongreen on Tuesday his associates did notpresent the steady efficiency of theirearlier games, Neither was Williamshimself so precise or confident, andput up many short bowls when heshould have been up to the head. Ex-cepting W. J. Shearman, who ledwell the two other members of therink! H. Kay and P. Chambers areyoung players who are to be congratu-lated on doing so well under tryingconditions.

Performance of SydenhamIf excuses are to be offered for any-

one it surely must be for the Syden-ham rink skipped by C. Spearman, lastyear’s Dominion singles champion, mthe loss of the lead, W. Britten, forthe semi-final game with Williams. Itwas the only rink to go through theeight games of section play without aloss and this speaks volumes for itsplay.

J. Whyte, as third, played a fine cor-rect game, but the skip was off withhis driving, usually so exact, and ontoo many heads the position wasagainst - him.

, .

.,

Three young skips who impressedfor their ability under trying condi-tions were J. Callaghan (Sunnyside),J. Plummer (Linwood), and N. S. Wy-

ber (Christchurch). The former par-ticularly showed promise. Not dis-turbed by the calibre of his oppon-ents, he played a splendid game. Inthe semi-final with Marks, he put upsome great shots. The drawing shot onthe second head, whereby he beat hisopponents for a seven, drew hearty ap-plause from the spectators, and de-served it.

, , ,

In spite of the unpleasant dampnessof Friday and Saturday, playersthroughout the tournament, displayeda spirit of cheerfulness good to see.

No untoward happenings occurred tomar the function, and the umpires wereseldom called for. It was well that along hot spell preceded the wet spell,for the dry subsoil soaked in the mois-ture and left the surface better thanmight be expected. ,

In the opinion of many, the Sprey-don green responded best to the con-ditions. This was undoubtedly becauseof its thick “weed” surface, whichproved so satisfactory to those engagedon it. Right through, it was remark-able how much draw was required.

Another noteworthy feature was theabsence of dead beads through driving.Of course, the wet heavy greens mini-mised hard driving, but even on Mon-day and Tuesday, driving was notpopular. ■Congratulations should be extendedto Marks and his Christchurch rinkfor their adherence to the dress ruleduring the tournament. They couldwith truth be described as the “AllWhites.”

Although it will not be so large asusual, the centre will make a satisfac-tory profit from the Easter tourna-ment

Closing DownNext Saturday will see the end of

the season so far as outdoor bowlingis concerned.

Kaiapoi Working Men’s Club willhold an all-day rink tournament, andseveral town clubs will close withfriendly games among their membersWeather permitting, the play-off for theRobinson junior shield, between Powell(Beckenham) and Austin (United) willbe decided on the Opawa green onSaturday afternoon.

ReflectionsThe 1937-38 season’ has been an ex-

cellent one. The prolonged summeryweather of March gave bowlers everyopportunity of indulging in the sportand it cam sadely be said that the lastseason has been one of the most suc-cessful in the history of the game loc-ally. Most of the clubs have so un-proved their position through the in-flux of new members that the futurecan be regarded with equanimity. Theduty devolving on clubs now is to putl

their greens in order for' next season,in the best way to suit their particu-lar needs. This will necessarily in-clude maintenance through the off sea-son, and it is hoped club, executiveswill not forget the lessons of the lastseason.

With the closing down of the out-door seson. the sequence of these noteswill be interrupted. Since taking ui>this weekly session for “The Press,’the writer has derived great assistancefrom many club officials and desiresnow to express his thanks to them forthe information regarding club activi-ties.

“Kitty” believes that these noteshave been appreciated generally bybowlers and all being well hopes tohave the pleasure of writing in thiscolumn next season.

Tournaments in Other CentresSouthern bowlers had the best of

weather for the Easter holidays. In-vercargill. Dunedin, and Ogmaru eachcarried through their fixtures in goodweather. ' ■

On the other hand the popular Blen-heim tournament was spoiled. -Noplay was possible on Friday or Satur-day, and the issue was decided by play-ing five short games on- Monday. .Vis-

itors were well entertained. More .than.60 rinks entered, showing thepopular-ity of this, fixture. ■ -

To be working in a temperature ofwell over 80deg. and then to experi-ence an unexpected change to drivingrain and chill wind, high up on themountainous country at the back ofthe Awatere, was the sorry experienceof two musterers, clad, of course, onlyin thinnest summer clothing. Visionsof at least pneumonia haunted themas they slowly brought the sheep downto the camp, until the discovery of abottle* of Baxters .Lung Preserver,placed in the hut for such an emer-gency, dispelled their fears.

CITY THEATRES

CRYSTAL PALACE

DOUBLE-FEATURE PROGRAMME

Cecil Kellaway, Australian film star,is seen in an importantrole in “Every-body’s Doing It,” which will head thebill at the Crystal Palace to-day andwhich stars Preston Foster and SallyEilers.

, , , ,

It is his first American role and heis cast as a hard-boiled American busi-ness man, and manages to discard a

pronounced British accent while infront of the camera.

Based on the current rage for puzzlecontests, the film reveals in lively fash-ion what happens whenracketeers de-cide to profit by various features of acontest originated to sell a breakfastfood product One of the “crooks” de-cides to kidnap the artist who drawsthe puzzles, and the other evolves hisown scheme of selling answers to thepublic, and their schemes clash.

Preston Foster and Miss Eilers havethe romantic leads as commercial art-ists in the breakfast food company’sadvertising department, who perfectthe idea for the contest. They are ex-cellently cast as a pugnacious pair oflovers.

With many of the scenes filmed ma large advertising office, the innerworkings of advertising campaigns, andthe painting of advertising posters isrevealed for perhaps the first time onthe screen.

Supporting the stars is a notablegroup of players. Lorraine Krueger,the dancer who scored in “New Facesof 1937,” plays her first featured roleas a cafe entertainer, and Richard Laneand Guinn Williams are cast as racke-teers.

In an outstanding added attraction,patrons will have the chance of see-ing the authentic and exclusive filmof the Braddock-Farr fight RKORadio Pictures secured the screenrights to the fight to which 20,000 paidadmission.

Fought in New York city, it wasregarded as an eliminating bout todecide who should be the contenderagainst JoeLouis for the heavy-weightcrown. James Braddock, at the age of32, by the decision in his favour, hasonce more risen to the heights ofboxing fame.

PLAZA

BOUBLE-FEATURE PROGRAMME

George Formby, the English co-median, who is one of the. drollestactors on the screen, excels himself inhis latest film, “Keep Fit,” which, with"Let’s Make a Night of It,” starringBuddy Rogers, forms the new pro-gramme at the Plaza Theatre."Keep Your Seats, Please,” proved apopular picture in Christchurch, butFormby is said to provoke even morelaughter in "Keep Fit"

George Formby has the role of ayoung assistant in the barber's shopof a department store. He also has asheepish fondness for the shop’s prettyyoung manicurist. In the hope of find-ing favour in her eyes and justifyinga supposed reputation for athleticprowess, he enters the “keep fit” com-petition conducted J>y a local news-paper.

Kay Walsh scores as the manicuregirl, and the cast also includes GuyMiddleton. George Benson. EvelynRoberts, Denier Warren, Gus Mc-Naughton, Edmund Breon. and Ha!Gordon.

A delightful ukelele song, "KeepFit," is specially notable among themusical numbers, which allow the au-dience breathing space between laughs.All In all, “Keep Fit" is a picture notto be missed, with Its wealth of cleanfun, hectic excitement, and novelty ofsituations.

Buddy Rogers makes his third ap-pearance in British films in “Let's Makea Night of It,” a spectacular musicalfilm which will be the other featureon the coming programme. June Clydeplays opposite Rogers, and others inthe film are Fred Emney, ZelmaO'Neal, six famous dance bands, andmany other artists;

AVON

« EBB TIDE >*

Not only Is “Ebb Tide.” an unusualand exciting film, which is having anextended season at the Avon Theatre,an achievement in lechnicolour, but itIs also a drama of the first quality. Theacting throughoutis superb, the story isabsorbingly interesting,and the settingis vividly beautiful. Having for back-ground the South Seas, and for prin-cipal figures the characters of R. L.Stevenson, this film throws into boldrelief all the romance, adventure,courage, pathos, chivalry, and passionwhich are the essence of Stevenson’stales. In every way “Ebb Tide” is anoutstanding production.

Briefly, the story is of three men,Captain Thorbecke (Oscar Homolka),Robert Herrick (Ray Milland), andHuisb (Barry Fitzgerald), who, afterbeing together for some years on Te-hua Island, join the crew of theschooner Golden State. Aboard isFaith Wishart (Frances Farmer), thedaughter of the schooner’s former cap-tain, who has died. She overhearsHomolka’s decision to steal the boatand cargo, and from then on the dramaunfolds with increasing power, reach-ing its climax when the four Idnd onan island ruled by a madman, Att-water (Lloyd Nolan).

Oscar Homolka, as the likeable seacaptain, made inefficient and weakwilled through drink, gives one of thebest character portrayals of his career.

Apart from the acting in “Ebb Tide,the technicoloured landscapes midseascapes are themselves worth seeing.The beauty of the South Seas is shownwithout being exaggerated. The samebeauty of contrast between land anosea, vegetation and sky. can be seenany clear day on the West Coast, andfrom knowing this, one feels that theglorious colouring In “Ebb Tide isnot artificial, but a real contributionto a film which embodies In its storymusic, poetry, and the magical charmthat was Stevenson’s.

CHRISTCHURCH CINEMAS,LIMITED

"Maytime,” a musical comedy, star-ring Jeannette MacDonald and NelsonEddy, who are heard in new songsby Romberg, is the current attractionat the Regent Theatre. The two starswere also associated in NaughtyMarietta.” „ .

Caesar, the famous Hollywood dog,Can be seen in person this week atthe Majestic Theatre. He is also the“star” of the outdoor film, “Trailingthe Killer,” which, with an associatefeature, “Adventures End,” make upthe programme.

George Robey, ».*na Malo and NeilHamilton head the cast of SouthernRoses,” which will begin to-day atthe Tivoli Theatre with “Song of theCity,” starring Margaret Lindsay.

“Girls’ Dormitory," which featuresSimon Simone and Herbert Marshall,heads the programme beginning to-day at the Liberty Theatre. Theother new picture will be "Love IsNews,” in which Loretta Young andDon Ameche play the chief parts,

Paul Muni acts finely in "Border-town,” an exciting drama, which willbe 'screened at the Grand Theatreto-day. “Where’s Sally?”, an amus-ing comedy, with Gene Garrard andGus McNaughton, is also on the pro-gramme; ■ .

STATE

“THE HURRICANE”

With the South Seas for a setting,“The Hurricane.** the gripping realismof which makes it a notable film, ishaving an extended season at the StateTheatre. , .

,.

_

The story is full of interest, beingwritten by the authors on whose novelthe film “Mutiny on the Bounty” wasbased.

Terangi, the young islander ofManukurua, is the first mate on a trad-ing schooner, who, through no fault ofhis, falls foul of the law and is im-prisoned. Attempts to escape bring anextension of his imprisonment, but atlast he breaks free, accidentally kill-ing a guard. How he escapes his pur-suers makes an enthralling story thatis brought to a climax when a hurri-cane .strikes the island of Manukuruawhere he lives.

~.

Splendid acting and the able use ofHollywood’s technical resources havemade “The Hurricane” a notable pic-ture.Yet even the acting in this film can-not claim the attention as does theproduction of the storm scenes. Thesemust be among the most exciting theHollywood studios have ever achieved.

CIVIC

FRANK NEIL’S REVUE

INTERNATIONAL STARS ATTHEATRE ROYAL

The witticisms and drolleries of JimGerald are a dominating feature ofthe new programme being presentedby Frank Neil’s revue company at theTheatre RoyaL This favourite come-dian has a manner all his own, andhis talent for bright gags and highlyamusing fooling seems inexhaust-ible. The whole company appearsin new numbers, as well as someold favourites, and the ballets, brilli-antly dressed and originally planned,are of a really high standard.

From his first entrance Jim Geraldheld the audience in laughter. WithLen Rich as his “accomplice” he in-troduced new quips in droll fashion,an’, gave a novel twist to old situa-tions.

Gautier’s remarkable bricklayingdogs were again almost the most popu-lar item of the programme. They losenone of their appeal on being seen asecond time. Ella Shields, top-hattedand thoroughly dandified, is inimitablein the type of act which made her“Burlington Bertie”—given as an en-core this time—world famous.

DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLAT GERALDINE

POSITION BECOMING MORESERIOUS

The Geraldine District High SchoolCommittee met recently. The chair-man (Mr A. M. .Fyfe) presided.

The headmaster (Mr J. J. McGuigan)reported that in the primary depart-ment the roll number was 236, and inthe secondary department 88. The at-tendance had been very good in bothdepartments. Thirty tabes and chairshad been installed at the secondarydepartment, but with the cold weathercoming on lack of accommodation wasbecoming more serious.

Because of her appointment to a per-manent position at Woodstock, Miss J.Chisnall, who had been a supernumer-ary on the staff, had left. Miss D.Hill, of the secondary department, hadtaken Miss Chisnall's place, so that,pending the appointment of a perma-nent teacher, the secondary depart-ment was short staffed. Mr J. Learn-ing, inspector of secondary schools,had paid a two days’ visit. The'schoolwould close for the first term holidayson May 6.

As it was the last meeting of thecurrent term the headmaster thankedthe chairman and the members fortheir co-operation.

Mention was made that the bridgeover the Waihi river at the Wilsonstreet crossing, which was used dailyby school children and residents gen-erally, urgently needed repairing.

MALVERN SHOW

HEAVY RAIN AFFECTSATTENDANCE

GOOD SHEEP DISPLAY

The good fortune that has attendedall the agricultural and

pastoral associations this season in thematter of weather entirely desertedthe Malvern Agricultural and PastoralAssociation yesterday, when the thirty-seventh annual show was held at Shef-field. Rain had fallen heavily over-night, and it continued practicallythroughout the day, there being onlythe briefest respites from a drizzle orsteady showers. About 1913 the showhad to be abandoned on account of theheavy rain, and the visitation yester-day at Springfield was the worst sincethen. Tiie association, had been ex-tremely fortunate in the weather con-ditions in recent years. This is-ratherfortunate, as it enabled a substantialcredit balance to be built up, whichwould be depleted to some extent yes-terday, as the gate receipts sufferedheavily. There were very few peoplepresent apart from exhibitors and offi-cials. Amongst them, however, wasMr A. Fisher, of Ciilverden, who wasone of the promoters of the associationwhen it was established at the begin-ning of the century. The sodden con-dition of the grpund made the holdingof the jumping competitions inadvis-able, and these were abandoned, asalso was the parade of prize stock.The judging was expeditiously car-ried out in spite of the unpleasant con-ditions, and this enabled those takingpart in the gathering to get away ingood time. The weather break wasparticularly unfortunate, as the totalentries showed a substantial increaseon those of last year—from 1080 to1320—and conditions otherwise werefavourable for a most successful gath-ering. . aThe Stock

The most notable sections were theroots, particularly the potato section,light horses, unregistered and pure-bred Southdown and Corriedale sheep.Draught horses were confined to halfa dozen entries, but there was strongcompetition amongst a number of pro-vincial prize-winners in the light horsesection, several of the more importantclasses attracting from six to 11 entries.The champion hack was Mrs G. H.Grigg’s Haldon, a good winner else-where. There were not many harnesscobs and ponies forward, but excellentcompetition prevailed in' the saddlesection. The two main eachdrew entries of 10. the championshipribbon being awarded to Miss PhilhpaReid’s Starlight. , ■

Except for some quality Jerseysshown by L. D. Adams and a fewcrossbreds, cattle were practically un-represented. ' "

, ,

Some good pens of fat lambs wereforward, but they did hot look -theirbest under the conditions prevailing.Fat sheep were , few in number, butthere was keen competition in prac-tically all the flock sheep classes, theawards in the section being well dis-tributed. Jas. Reid practically sweptthe board in English Leicesters, tak-ing both championships, R. S. Gunnand L. D. Adams doing likewise insmall sections of Borders and Rom-neys. The Southdowns: drew entriesfrom several prominent provincialbreeders, and there was good compe-tition in practically every class. Thechampion awards went to J. and 5.Madeley and L. H Adams for ram andewe respectively. ’ Robt. Reid was theonly exhibitor of Ryelands, and "■Henry of Shrbpshires. There wasquite a good showing of merinos, thechampionship winners, shown by T, L.Jenkins and H. Bruce, being goodsheep. The 20 odd Cornedales werealso above the average. Jas. Reidagain taking the two championships inthis section. T. L. Jenkins took prac-tically all the halfbred awards.

Grain and BootsThere was a good range of exhibits

PRIME MINISTER’S BROADCASTto tub editor or i'ue rar.ss.

Sir,—l listened last night to MrSavage’s plausible speech and marvelat the gullibility of his Wellingtonaudience. A great portion of his speechwas devoted to a criticism of “the manwith the umbrella” (presumably MrAdam Hamilton), and the NationalParty. No one objects to fair criti-cism, but to assert that the 1030-34 de-pression was attributable to the policyof the National Government and that,conversely, the prosperity of 1935-37was due wholly to the policy of La-bour. is surely too much for sensiblepeople to swallow. The depressionwas a world-wide one and it was in-evitable that New Zealand, too, wouldsuffer because of the contraction Inthe value of her exports, on which shehad, and still has. to depend almostwholly for her wealth.

I do not agree with all the measuresof the late Coalition Government, butit piloted us through probably themost difficult period in the history ofthis country, and had Labour been inpower at the time, 1 think most peoplewho were tired of the depression andwho were glad to have a scapegoat,would have tipped the.Governmentout and given the Opposition an In-nings—such Is human nature. t

Mr Savage refers to the farmersimproved position under guaranteedprices. Would he. or rather, could he,have guaranteed Is lid for butter-fatwith London parity at fld to 7d apound or thereabouts (from memory)?Is he responsible for Britain, Japan.France, and Germany paying the 1937boom prices for woof? Or is it simplythat wool prices overseas boomed, andthat New Zealand producers therebyreaped the benefit?

I think-that Mr Savage Is wastingtime wooing farmers. They know thattheir prosperity Is linked with that ofGreat Britain and on the overseasvalue of their exports, and that theincrease in the cost of productioncaused through legislation is consider-ably curtailing their net profits.

No. 1 think that Labour must stickto the voters who cannot or will nothelp themselves. The great numbersdependent on or benefiting by theState social services (only in the em-bryonic stage, one Is told) make ohewonder how many are left to pay forit all. Mr Savage flouts the opinionof the actuary who considers that thenew schemes promoted by the Gov-ernment are beyond our means anathat pensioners will yearly increase mnumber. I prefer to back the actuaryand I think that most hard workersWill do likewise.—Yours, etc.,

TOADSTOOLSTO THS BDITOB Of fHS P*M*-

Sir,—The statement quoted by ‘ En-quirer” “. . there was actuallyvariety of reajly poisonOUi toadstool,and that all other varieties are edible,as. are mushrooms,” is not in accordwith known facts, as your correspond-ent has stated.

, ,

The-name ‘-‘toadstool” is-applied bymycologists to members of the genusBoletul' Sfpccies which contain' acridsubstances are liable to induce gastero-enteritls, and may therefore be re-garded os poisonous. The toxic enacts,though unpleasant, seldom cause per-manent injury. No really dangerousBoletus is known to me, thodgh, owingto confusion in nomenclature, severalhave been recorded In error.

Most of-: the poisonous fungi arefound among mushrooms, which dinerfrom Boletes in that spores ere borneon the surface of gills, not In tubes.Many species are known to be poison-ous to man, several causing death ifeaten in quantity.

Two poisonous species are known tooccur In New Zealand, both havingbeen accidentally introduced. Sinceboth grow in association with rootsof certain introduced trees, they arcusually found In the vicinity of pineplantations. The' more deadly one IsAmanita phalloides. a yellow plant,which if eaten in small amounts isliable to cause death. The other Is thescarlet Amanita muscaria, at presentabundant in the vicinity of Auckland.If eaten it usually Induces severe gas-tric disturbances, followed by severeillness lasting for several days. It.too, may cause death if the patient Isnot very strong.

Those of pur native species exuding"milk" when broken are probablymidiy poisonous, since the latex con-tains acrid principles which inducegastero-enteritis. Bushmen have onseveral occasions complained to me ofillness following meals made frommushrooms collected in the forest.These Instances have not yet been co-related with the actual species respon-sible.—Yours, etc..

SUSTENANCE MEN ANDMOTOR-CARS

TO TBS CDITOB Of rflS FBCW.£>ir,—In your issue yesterday there

appeared a letter on sustenance menand motor-cars, written over the noffl-de-plume of “T.A.8.” I agree with allhe says, and a lot that he nas not said.

We have Magistrates in this coun-try who consider that men on Susten-

ance should not own a car, and wehear so much of it that it has almostbecome a magisterial parrot-cry. It iswell past the time when these gentle-men should be told by authority thattheir opinion on that subject is notappreciated until after the particularcase or cases have been investigated orcircqmstances known.

I am a returned soldier with threeyears’ war service. At the battle ofPasschendaele I took a dose of mustardtas, and that being a little more than0 years ago, I did not at the time

know that it was going to be the causeof my not being permitted to own acar In later years.

My pension and economic pension,plus my wife's economic pension, ia£3 2s 6d a week, and I am entitledto 15s sustenance. If I had not beengassed, or wounded, and could holddown a job at £4 or £5 a week, 1could have a car. If I had taken avery little more gas, I should havebeen on full pension, £4 ss. and acar if I liked, without criticism, un-less I was blind, which 1 was, luckilyonly for four days. If I had takenan overdose, and stayed in France. Iwould have been included in thosewhom all the ceremony will be aboutnext Monday, Anzac Day. The Mag-istrates who say that persons like meshould not have a car will nuke Mon-day next a sacred day, so I considerthat I owe nothing to my country, butthese few Magistrates Who say that Iand many others in a similar positionshould not have cars owe us a publicapology, which they will not stoop to,as the English dictionary says that theword magistrate Is an officer, and mag-isterial masterful.

In 1032. in the Choral Hall in Christ-church, I heard the late Mr H. E.Holland, then leader of the LabourParty, say that some of our Magis-trates were irresponsible, and he mademe, and the whole audience, I_ sup-pose, form the conclusion that if hisparty was in power there would besome alterations made. At about10.30 on the night of November 27, 1935,his successor, the Rt. Hon. M. J. Sav-age. said that they would be pleasedto follow on as Mr Holland left on,or something to that effect. .

Wc have thousands of returned sol-diers. members of the Returned Sol-diers* Association branches through-out the country, and we have some-thing like 16 returned men in theHouse of Representatives: and not aman anywhere has ever done or saidanything to prevent his mates frombeing nothing short of insulted, for,after all, a Magistrate’s job is to listento evidence and punish according tohis own discretion, and not give hispersonal opinions on anything.

I /have often wondered how muchlonger we shall wait for our Ministerfor Justice to do something for us.and I feel quite certain that It wouldnever have gone; on as it has if thelate Mr Holland Had lived, for althoughhe was not a soldier, he at least re*spected returned soldiers.

I am not denying that there aremen on sustenance with cars whoperhaps should not hove them, putuntil a Magistrate knows what theposition really Is. he should mind whathe is saying, and take back the state-ments that all men on sustenance haveno right to a car. His opinion is un-warranted and unwanted. Take theveterans, for instance, whose healthis. completely broken down, some witha miserable pension, and some withnone. If one of these men has man-aged in better times to save £SO or£ 100, probably .

through having athrifty and careful .wife, what right

has any Magistrate to say that heshould not have a car of j,that value,to take his wife and children to thebeach or a picnic ground on a week-end? I said at the start of this letterthat I am drawing 15s weekly susten-ance, and tnrough having a car I wasable recently to go off sustenance forthree months, as the car earned 15s aWeek for me for that period, and the£65 that bought It was saved by ftcareful wife. At any time that 1 amdriving along a road, and I meet aMagistrate who believes that I am notentitled to a cor. I will not feel a bitashamed, and I will give way to himif he is on my right. rI sincerely hope that someone orsomebody will take up this questionand have these magisterial commentsStopped. Although I am using a nora*de-plume. I have a reason for it, butif my name and address are asked foryou can use vour discretion about giv-ing them.—Yours, etc..

RICCARTON ROAD RACETRAFFIC

•o tbs •bnoa o» ras !*»••*•

Sir,—Watching the traffic on theRiccarton road, this Easter, hearingthe comment* passed, and readmg ofthe alternative suggested by theauthorities of sending the race traffichome through Fendalton, it seems tome an opportune time again to advo-cate the opening up of both ends ofBlenheim road, which lies parallel toRiccarton road. There wpuld then beno congestion whatever, as the city

traffic could all come back throughBlenheim road. „.

..

It Is unfortunate that this road leadsthrough paparoa. Waimalrl. and Ric-carton, and .whenever these councilsare approached on the matter they allagree that the time must come, andthat it would be a good thing, andso on, but never a move is made tohave it accomplished.

Some time ago, the Upper Riccar-ton Burgesses’ Association took thematter up, and I was one who,through the United Burgesses* Asso-ciation, waited on the Highway Trans-port Commissioner in the matter. Theyalso expressed their opinion that theproposal was a good one. Result, againnothing done, . • mI am wondering if someone willmove, say the Riccarton BoroughCouncil, through our member. Mr H.S. 8. Kyle, to bring this before theHon. R, Semple, who is always on thelook out for tome useful work. Thiswill not only provide work, but willbe an everlasting boon to the com-munity .

The proposed route commences atSockburn and continues as onestraightroad to the saleyards. Then there isa bend ground the park by Matson’sstore, and then straight again to theRailway Station. If anyone cares totake the trouble to measure the dis-tance, he will find It one milemearerthan coming through the Riccartonroad. As I have pointed out before.Riccarton road is far tpo narrow tohave a tramline In the centre and ex-pect the ever-increasing traffic to betaken through it with a degree ofsafety,- We cannot stop the progressthat is being made; then why not meetit by having an alternative route? ThisBlenheim road scheme is as sound asand perhaps sounder than many a onethat is being carried out to-day.

When this scheme was first spokenof, there were very (ew houses in theway at Riccarton end (only abouttwo), and none at the Sockburn end.The longer it is left, the more expen-sive it will become. Another aspect isthe new settlement, lacing the Blen-heim road. When all these houses arefinished and peopled, will they be sentto swell the increasing traffic on Ric-carton road, or have to be satisfiedwith the little, narrow, and windingexit round the workshops? Perhapsthe Minister for Housing has neverseen this road where these houses arebeing built, but I am positive thatwhen he does the question of theBlenheim road main highway will notbe long in being accomplished, •

An election In the Middleton ridingof the Waimalrl County Council willbe held shortly, and I hope that MrG. R. Crasroft Wilson will make hisacquaintance with this road, and whenhe Is returned as our representativeon the Waimalrl will see thatthe council’s attention is drawn to analternative main highway to theßic-carton road.—Yours, etc.,

CLOTHING FACTORY WORKERSto tux editor or thb press.

Sir,—ln Saturday’s issue of “ThePress” statements attributed to Mr J.Roberts, secretary of the ClothingTrades’ Industrial Union, that era-ployees in thot industry were not beingput off work, clearly indicate that MrRoberts is either wilfully deceived orelse he is ignorant of the condition ofthe industry he is supposed to repre-sent. Wholesale slack time is bemgimposed on employees by Christchurchfirms and in some cases dismissalsalso One particular firm has noticesposted up to that effect, and employeesare being put off till further notice. Ifthat is not dismissal, then itis merely quibbling with words. Ican assure Mr Roberts that to-nightone firm put off 12 girls, coat handsand coat and trouser machinists, and ifMr Roberts wants any further verifi-cations I am quite at liberty any timeto prove my words, for I have adaughter who has just arrived hometo-night and she is off till furthernotice. I suggest that Mr J. Roberts,before rushing into print, should tryto- find out personally for himself howmatters stand in this particular indus-try, and not give out misleadingstatements which are contrary to fact.If this industry is suffering a slackperiod the truth will surely not offendanyone. On the other hand, if thereis any sinister reason why these em-ployees arc being put out of work, thenit is up to Mr J. Roberts to roll hissleeves up and get busy.—Yours, etc.,

SOCRATES.April 20, 1938.

MEN OF SCIENCEto tax editor or the raesa.

Sir,—ln the year 1616 A.D., the fam-ous work of Copernicus, De Revolu-tionibus, Ol’bium Celestium, was veryproperly placed on the Index Expur-gntorius by the Sacred Congregationof the’lndex of the Catholic Church,and that body solemnly announcedthat, “the doctrine of the doublemotion of the earth about its axisand about the ssn is false and entirelycontrary to Holy Scripture.” Only avery presumptuous man would ven-ture to question the accuracy of thepronouncement of the Sacred College.That Holy Scripture is entirely con-trary to this false doctrine may beproved from a hundred passages. Per-haps the remark of that strangecharacter, Martin Luther, who at anyrate knew ms Bible, will be a suf-ficient confirmation here, since to copyout a hundred passages would betedious work. In Joshua x; 12, 13,we read: “Then spake Johun to theLord in the day when the Lord de-livered up the Amorites before thechildren of Israel, and he said in thesight of Israel, Sun, stand thou stillupon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in thevalley of Ajalon. And the sun stoodstill and the ihoon stayed.’’ As thelearned Luther pointed out, it is evi-dent from this passage alone that thesun and the moon move, while ttieearth stands still. The feeble effortsof the men of science to prove theteaching of Holy Scripture false were,strange to say, seemingly crownedwith success, for the work of Coper-nicus was removed from the Index inthe year 1835. But, as was to be ex-pected, the triumph of the men ofscience, sacrilegiously calling in ques-tion the accuracy of God’s Holy Word,was short lived. Not long ago, theMichelson Morley experiment, de-signed to estimate the velocity of theearth’s motion, proved conclusivelythat there was no motion at all. Thesame experiment, repeated with thecare, precautions, and delicate instru-ments for which men of science arefamous, proved once more that thoearth docs not move. Thus was HolyScripture confirmed by the infidelsthemselves. Of course, ever since, ina most unscientific spirit, the scientistshave endeavoured to explain away theresult of their own experiment. Onthe result of that single type of ex-periment, they have built up theirabsurd theory of relativity, with itsridiculous jargon of space, time, andabsolute velocity, Tesla has disprovedthe absolute velocity of light, and re-cent photographs of the sun, takenfrom a great height, render worthlessall their conclusions, drawn from ob-servations of a recent eclipse. AlwaysWe shall find, Holy Writ will eventu-ally be proved to be reliable and thePope infallible.

Then the men of science teach theabsurd notion that the earth Is roughlyspherical and not flat. On this subjectlet us listen to the great Lactantius,to whom the Emperor Constantine,that benefacor of the Church, en-trusted the education of his own son,Crispus (whom, by the way, Constan-tine subsequently murdered, thus be-coming the first Christian son-mur-derer on record): “How Is it withthose who imagine that there are anti-podes opposite to our footsteps? Dothey say anything to the purpose? Oris there anyone so senseless as to be-lieve that there are men whose foot-steps are higher than their heads? Thattho crops and trees grow downwards?That the rains and snow and hail fallupwards to the earth?" Fairly crush-ing! And the great St. Augustine, towhose teaching we owe Calvin andKnox, proves conclusively from HolyScripture that there cannot be anyantipodes. Pope Zacharias. in theeighth century, condemned the mon-strous anti-scriptural notion of anantipodes. Unluckily, up to the pre-sent moment, the scientists have notsucceeded in proving themselves to bewrong, butr no doubt, by some marvel-lous experiment, they will themselvesprove that there cannot be an Anti-podes. Men of science Can do any-thing! Just now they are telling uswhat happened on the confines of theuniverse some thousands of millionsof years ago. Unluckily, they gotmixed in their tenses, and tell us thatthe universe is now expanding at . atremendous rate- What are a billionyears to a man of science? Reckonedin space-time, they become a mereflea-bitol—Yours, etc.,

THE PRICE OF PEACEl« sUrrua o» rai r*

Sir,—A friend said to me, “Thingsdon't look too good in the Far Eastand in Spain, do they? Where wili,it end?” I am again reminded of asignificant statement, prophetic almost,by Mr H. G. Wells: “Soon there willbe no future to prophesy. We don’tneed any invaders from Mars to de-stroy us because we are going to com-mit suicide soon. Another war willsweep the world, and we will findall nations equipped to annihilate civi-lisation with armaments.”

Those of us who have been wit-nesses of the results of modem war-fare and the casting down of bombsfrom flying aeroplanes can, to someextent, visualise what a terrible dayIt will be when, as a result of theanger in the heart of nations againsteach other, God will finally terminatethe existence of the war-mindedworld dictators, and will cause to fallupon all people (world wide), as itwere, a hail of bombs of huge size, sothat no place shall escape. The judg-ments that the Lord will bring uponthe nations that have set out to de-stroy the earth and its peoples we findvividly described in the last fourverses of the 16th chapter of Revela-tion: “And there fell upon men agreat hail, out of heaven; every stoneabout the weight of a talent (bomb),

and men blasphemed God because ofthe plague of the hail, for the plaguethereof was exceeding great.”

The world dictators will not acceptChrist’s terms of peace, and by so doingcreate the spirit of the brotherhood ofman throughout the world. So much forthe price of peace, which will be spenton armament*. It is our duty to de-fend New Zealand against world dic-tators. who are planning to destroyua. It would be useless to run awayahd hide behind the mulberry bush,so the pacifist* may as well stick totheir guns.—Yours, etc.,8 THIS FREEDOM.

Sir,—A rather remarkable experi-ence was brought to my notice withinthe last few days, an experience, I amloath to Ijelieve, is usual. Here 1give you the particulars as given tome.

A certain Arm in Christchurch oflong standing has set aside a yearlysum as a fund for the relief of agedemployees when they are compelled toretire. Though it has been in exist-ence for many years, strange to saynot one worker so far has participatedIn the fund, for within a few monthsof Ihe time when they are due to re-tire, they are discharged and no ade-quate reason is forthcoming.

This particular case is of a man whohas spent the best years of his lifein giving faithful service, and has littlehope of being re-employed in the samecapacity. What has he to do mean-while?

DRAINS IN HEATHCOTECOUNTY

TO THK EDITOR OF THE PRESS.

Sir, —When representation is madeto the Heathcote County Council foimaintenance work to be carried out mthe Hillsborough riding, the laxity dis-played by the officials concerned makesone wonder where and how the ratemoney is expended.

A complaint was submitted to theCounty Clerk on February 26 last.

drawing attention to the neglectedcondition of the drains. A reply datedMarch 1 was received, and containedthe information that the drains werereceiving attention, and that theywould probably be completed within10 days.

It is now approximately six weekssince the receipt of the County Clerk’sreply. I presume that the matter isstill under 1 consideration. Apart fromthe fact of their Inadequacy to copewith any volume of storm „water on

account of their foul condition, thedrains contain stagnant water, whichis considered to be a menace to health,and they are a positive disgrace to anylocal body.—Yours, etc.,

ORCHARD WORKERSAND UNION

REGULATIONS EXPLAINEDBY MINISTER

EMPLOYERS NOT RESPONSIBLEFOB COLLECTING DUES

(PBXSS ASSOCIATION TXLKGKAIf.)

WELLINGTON. April 21.“They are entirely wrong,” said the

Minister for Labour (the Hon. H. T.Armstrong), commenting to-day on re-ports of indignation expressed by thesecretary of the Hawke’s Bay Fruit-growers’ Association (Mr F. L. Baum-gart) and others that the Governmentby Order-in-Council had placed on or-chardists the onus of collecting uniondues and fees from employees.

Mr Armstrong said: “There appearsto be some misunderstanding regard-ing the obligation of the orchardistin respect of his employees becomingfinancial members of the New Zea-land Workers’ Union, and also in re-spect of his obligation to forward unionfees to the secretary of the union. Thepreference clause contained in the Ag-ricultural Workers' Extension Order,1938. which applied to agriculturalworkers employed in orchards, was:‘Every worker employed within thescope of this order for a period ex-ceeding four weeks in the industryshall immediately become a financialmember of the New Zealand Workers’Industrial Union of Workers, and theonus shall be on the employer or hisagent to remit to the general secretaryof the New Zealand Workers’ Indus-trial Union of Workers within sevendays after payment the sum of £15s for each adult male worker and lOsfor each otherworker. The general sec-retary of the New Zealand Workers’ In-dustrial Union ofWorkers shall immedi-ately forward to the employer a unionticket for delivery to the worker.’

“Under this clause,” Mr Armstrongsaid, “the employer is required to re-mit the union contribution to the gen-eral secretary of the New Zealand

Union within seven days afterthe payment of such contribution tohim by the worker. The worker isrequired under the clause to becomea financial member of the New Zea-land Workers’ Union if he has beenemployed in the industry for a periodexceeding four weeks, but there is noobligation on the employer to see thathia workers- become financial membersof the union or to collect the con-tribution from them. The onus is onthe employer to remit to the secre-tary of the union all contributions thatmay be paid to him by his workers.

“I may add that the clause in ques-tion and the remaining clauses in theschedule to the extension order wereagreed to by representatives of theNew Zealand Fruitgrowers’ IndustrialUnion of Employers and the New Zea-land Workers’ Industrial Union ofWorkers.” Mr Armstrong said.

INSPECTION FEEON FRUIT

STAMPS FALLING OFF• CASES

“ PIN-PRICKING BUSINESSFOR GROWERS»

An attempt to obviate the fallingoff of the penny stamp—the Govern-merit inspection fee—attached to casesof apples sent to outside markets, -isto be made by the Canterbury Fruit-growers’ Association. The falling off ofthe stamps was described by Mr W, E.Davidson, at the annual meeting ofthe association last evening as“the pin-pricking business withwhich growers are being in-flicted at present.” The meeting re-solved to write to the Department ofAgriculture expressing the feeling ofthe association on the matter and sug-gesting that the auctioneers at outsidemarkets deduct the fee from the ac-counts of growers.

.. .

Mr L. Sisson said that he had at-tached penny stamps to cases sent,taDunedin, and he had later been in-formed by the auctioneer there thatthere were no stamps on the cases.

Mr Davidson then moved that theywrite to the Department of Agricul-ture asking it to devise some methodto obviate the position. .

The president (Mr B. T. Turner) saidthat if the auctioneers put the stampson the cases there would be no dangerof their falling off.

......

Mr Sisson: I don’t think it couldbe done. The Government would notstand for that.

,.

„

An additional motion that the mspec-tion fee be deducted from the grow-ers’ gross accounts by the auction-eers was proposed by Mr G. Mottram,who added that he did not think itwould cause much trouble to the auc-tioneers. However, the stamp couldstill be attached to cases sold to localshops and markets, and to private per-sons.

. _

.

Mr B. G. Goodwin, the Governmentorchard instructor, said that the Gov-ernment would take action against anygrower who did not pay, the inspectionfee. The revenue obtained from thefee was not entirely devoted to theemployment of extra inspectors. TheGovernment had spent £SOOO on ad-vertising fruit and it would probablyhave to face a considerable deficit on-fruit this season. All fruit, whethersold privately or otherwise, was liablefor the inspection fee.

CYCLING

G. R. GILES EXPLAINS

REASONS FOR TURNINGPROFESSIONAL

The New Zealand Olympic cyclistand national champion, G. R. Giles,who at Easter turned professional, haswritten to the athletics reporter of“The Press” a letter in which he says:“I’m sorry I let you down throughturning professional; but it was a caseof turning professional or retiring, andI yet do not feel like giving up thesport. I might say that anything Ican do to help any of the young riders,amateur or professional, I am still keento do.

“Mr C. D. Doyle, president of theCanterbury Amateur Cycling Centre,commenting in ‘The Press’ on my turn-ing professional, was simply againevading the issue.

“I do not consider I was harshlyto tbi thftt to*

posed on me. When I was oDed-Wothe room that night and told the ver-dict, 'Mr Doyle said, T hope you wattaccept this in the spirit it is given,but after that meeting Mr Doyle lum»self wouldnot even speak to me unlemit was unavoidable.

“As you know I was tired of thegen-eral treatment I had had for_ytsn.This year, several times at laigltmPark I would race and then a» Hthere were any more races, and betold ‘no.’ Twice I got dressed, andon the way out heard the pistol gofor the start of another race. TwiceI saw riders on the mark and rushedout again in time to stast

“Mr Doyle said in reply to a letterin ‘The Press’ that Jones and myselfhad turned professional without eclearance. we had both applied forthe clearances, and as no meeting ofthe centre had been held, we justdid not wait. Anyway there is noneed for a meeting to be held as thesecretary knows whether or not ■fellow is financial, or in any other kindof bother. It is just a case of tryingto prevent amateurs from tumin|; pro-fessional, and the professional aide asthe sport knows it '

_“I am pleased I have left the ama-teurs (not the riders but the omriaKJ.as in my short dealings with the pro-fessional officials I have found tnemhead and shoulders above tbn amaMM

CULVERDEN RAILWAYRETURNS

DECREASE IN OUTWARDTRAFFIC

The PressFRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1938.

Taxation and ProductionThe Prime Minister, in his Wellington address,which must be praised as the best furnishedand best arranged speech he has deliveredwhile in office, vigorously defended the Gov-ernment against charges of over-taxing thepeople and, in close connexion with this theme,claimed great credit for the Government s

achievement in making the people prosperousenough to pay. The defence and the claimrest upon a number of dubious assertions anddubious inferences. It would be pleasant ifthey could all be accepted as confidently asMr Savage puts them forward. But they standno test. For example, Mr Savage insists thatthere is a great difference between increasingrates of taxation and raising an increased taxrevenue. There is; but to point this outtriumphantly, when nobody denies, it, is notto show that the raising and spending of the

increased revenue are wise and necessary andcause no undue strain, Mr Savage in threefallacious ways attempts to prove these things.He says that more than half the tax revenueis “handed straight back to the people" insocial services. If this were a valid proportionsum, then taxation could never be assailed as

burdensome or felt as burdensome, so long as

most of it was “ handed back ” in social ser-

vices; and this is nonsense. He says, second,that “ the test ” which tells whether taxationhas risen oppressively or not is, “What have“the people left after paying taxation?” Thismay be one test; but it is not the only test or

a decisive test. Other questions are equallyimportant, or even more important. One iswhether the tax revenue is itself equitablyraised and economically spent. Another iswhether any of the money, left in the handsof the taxpayer, would not have been spentmore economically—i.e., to greater productiveadvantage. Mr Savage makes very little effort

to faae and answer such questions. His mostdirect effort, perhaps, appears in the boast thatthe Labour Government has “ excelled the re-“ cords of all former governments in spending“ the money to* the best advantage of the people“as a whole.” This is a comparison whichsociologists and economists might examine. Asa politician’s piece of self-praise it carries littleweight. In the second group of Mr Savage’sassertions and inferences—those designed toset up the Government’s credit for prosperity-building—it may be noted that the Prime Min-ister, with more caution than he and his col-leagues have previously shown, in one place“frankly admits the gain and effect of over-“sea increases” in commodity prices; but thereis no sign of the same frankness in statementswhich boldly attribute to Labour’s “ stimulat-ing policy” the trade buoyancy felt “ever“ since the Government came into office,” whichexclude any other cause, and which ignore theearlier evidences of returning prosperity. Thereis no sign of such frankness in the claim that“ the huge accretions to the volume of pjoduc-“ tion are the direct results of the Labour Gov-“ ernment’s policy ”—a claim which denies or

overlooks the obvious fact that increased pro-duction had been built up by years of previ-ous planning, labour, and sacrifice. But ifempty and disingenuous assurance is to belooked for and exposed anywhere in Mr Sav-age’s speech, the part to be concentrated uponis that in which he declared roundly, “There“can be no question of the ability to pay for“social services,” and supported this promiseby reference to “ the inevitable increases in“production that will take place ” during theperiod of rising costs. Two comments willsuffice. First, increases of production are not“inevitable” at all. They will have to beplanned, they will have to be financed, they

will have to be related to a market demand;and nobody on earth knows what expansionof production, in the next 10, 20, or 40 years,will be reached, because nobody knows whatthe governing conditions will be. On the otherhand, an expert actuary has just given theGovernment his estimates of the progressivecosts of its new social services. He has alsodeclined, very pointedly*, to accept the Gov-ernment’s earnest invitation to say that ad-vancing production will meet those costs; andhe declined for an excellent reason. That isthe second' comment on Mr Savage’s promisethat “inevitable” increases of production willleave “ no question ” of ability to pay. Socialservices cannot be paid for, crudely and im-mediately, with butter, lamb, and wool. Theseproducts must first be marketed; and the ques-tion of ability to pay for soeial services is thevery real question of secure and profitablemarkets for the Dominion’s production, especi-ally for increased productiotu'Mr Savage callsupon country to trust him in a pure gambleand a risky one.

The Mystery of the Unemploy-ment Returns

Mr Savage’s handling of unemployment statis-tics in his speech in the Wellington Town Hallleaves much to be explained. “ The registered“number of unemployed in March, 1936, was“54,500,” said Mr Savage. “In March, 1938, it“ was 6695, to which must be added, to make“a comparison with the figure two years ago,“ 8000 men totally unfit for any work whatever.”Last financial year, £4,414,011 was actuallyspent on the relief of unemployment, com-pared with £4,488,000 in the previous year,and £3,912,000 in the last year of the Coali-.tion Government; while in the current yearunemployment taxation is estimated to yield£5,180,000. Even allowing for the increase inrates of relief granted by the Labour Govern-ment,, the continued high level of unemploy-ment expenditure is very difficult to squarewith the reduction in unemployment claimedby Mr Savage. But anyone who seeks furtherinformation on the point will find very littlehelp from the official unemployment statistics.At one time the Abstract of Statistics gaveeach month the number of unemployed, classi-fied according to occupations, according to dis-tricts, and according to the type of relief theywere receiving.. Gradually the amount of pub-lished information has been whittled down.The classifications according to occupations anddistricts have disappeared completely; there isno accurate figure for men on sustenance andno figure at all for men in full-time subsidisedemployment. The contraction is as re-grettable as it is suspicious. Since no one set

of unemployment figures is wholly satisfactory,it is desirable that as much statistical informa-tion as is available should be published. TheGovernment’s apparent inability to make upits mind what classes of men should be in-cluded in the official total of unemployed isanother source of difficulty. During a debatein the House of Representatives the Hon. H.T, Armstrong applied the adjectives “faked,"“ crook,” and “ rigged ” to unemployment fig-ures issued by his predecessor because theydid not include men in full-time employmentsubsidised-out of the unemployment fund. Hehimself at that time included in the officialfigures all men in any way a charge on theunemployment fund, A few months ago, how-ever, Mr Armstrong, either forgetting hisprevious statement on the subject or hopingeveryone else had forgotten it, announced thatthe inclusion in the returns of men in full-timesubsidised employment gave a wrong im-pression. There is some reason to suppose thatthe Prime Minister himself has failed to keeppace with variations in the arithmetic of un-employment. His figure for unemployment inMarch, 1936, is 54,500; the figure in the Ab-stract of Statistics for that date is 32,019. Thedifference is explained by the fact that MrSavage has included in his total 22,500 menwho were in subsidised employment. This ispermissible provided men in subsidised em-ployment are included in his second total. Butit is obvious from the Abstract of Statisticsthat this is not the case, Mr Armstrong seemsto have been too clever for the Prime Min-ister.

“GENERAL PANIC INAMERICA”

Lack of Confidence Noted

MR ROOSEVELT'S PROBLEMS

[THE PRESS Special Service.)

DUNEDIN, April 21.Industrial and political, conditions in the

United States were discussed to-day by Mr J. R.Fairbairn, who has just returned from a busi-ness visit to North America.

“The United States can fairly be describedas a land of extremes,” Mr Fairbairn said.“Times are either highly prosperous or very de-pressed. I have visited the States on severaloccasions when prosperity was general, andknow something of the speedy circulation ofthe dollar in good times; I have also seen moreor less depressed conditions; but on no previousoccasion have I witnessed a panic such as is gen-eral to-day throughout the United States. No-body seems to have the faintest ideas regardingthe future; but throughout industrial and com-mercial circles there would appear to be unani-mity of opinion on the cause of the depression.I may say that I could not find any substantialgrounds for the present complete lack of con-fidence, and I believe that there will be amarked improvement before the close of thisy6

“Mr Roosevelt is roundly blamed for the pre-sent stagnation in trade and industry,” Mr Fair-bairn said. “Certainly there would appear tobe some grounds for uneasiness about legisla-tion of a far-reaching nature already passed, orin process of consideration by the President andhis advisers.' The problems facing the Presi-dent are great, and numerous, and it wouldappear to me that it is to him and him alonethat the people look for a lead. Clearly theroot cause of many of America’s present-daytroubles lies in the fact that she has been doinglittle or nothing, while other leading countrieshave been progressing rapidly. I consider theStates to be a quarter of a century behind othercountries in social and industrial legislationaffecting the welfare of thel masses of thepeople.

“My feeling is that though Mr Rooseveltwould appear to be losing some ground at pre-sent, he has vision to see that the old order mustgive place to a new, and sufficient force of-personality to carry through the necessary andfar-reaching legislation, in spite of the bitteropposition he is encountering and will experi-ence during the process. I left the States withthe definite feeling that the people would bewise to hesitate before replacing Mr Roosevelt,should he decide to contest the election again,as I feel sure he will. Owing to the widespreadindustrial unrest throughout the States, it isclear to me that Labour will shortly organise,and become a separate party in politics.”

No Paper on Anzac Day“The Press” will not be published on Mon-

day, Anzac Day,Pensions to be Paid To-day

Arrangements have been made lor the pay-ment of State pensions to-day, a day eai/ierthan usual. The Minister for Pensions (theHon. W. E. Parry) said last night that thenormal pay day for most classes of pensionswas the 23rd of each month; but asthat date this month fell on a Saturday, itwould save inconvenience and congestion atthe paying-out offices to make pensions avail-able on the 22nd.—Press Association.

Historic Pillar Box

The cast-iron pillar box at the corner ofDublin street and Norwich quay, Lyttelton, is

to be removed shortly and will be replaced bya wooden mail box on the opposite corner, ihebox Is believed to be the oldest in New Zea-land still in its original position. The exactdate of its installation is not known, but it is

shown in a photograph Jaken in 18G3. A fewyears ago it was knocked over by a motor-caibut was replaced. Recently the box developeda leak in wet weather and it has therefore beendecided by the Post and Telegraph Depart-ment to replace it with a modern box.

Special Plates for Learner Drivers

A suggestion that new drivers of cars shouldfor a short time after receiving their licencebe issued with special “L” plates, to indicatea learner, has been put to the council of theAutomobile Association, Canterbury, m a let-ter from Mr J, Roy Smith. He also suggestedthat veteran drivers without an endorsementagainst them might also be indicated by aspecial letter “V” on their cars. ■ Deciding thatthe proposal was one for careful and long dis-cussion, the council at its meeting last nightdecided to refer the suggestion to the roadscommittee for consideration.

Youths In Breweries“We will fight it both tooth and nail,” said

Mr H. E. Denton, advocate for the employees,at the Canterbury brewers’ and maltsters’ dis-pute in Conciliation Council yesterday, whenthe employers’ clause “that employers shall beat liberty to employ youths” was being dis-cussed. “I believe that one brewery is employ-ing two youths under 21 years of age, and thelaw states that no person under 21 shall beallowed on licensed premises,” he continued.“Refer it to the Arbitration Court,” the Con-ciliation Commissioner (Mr S. Ritchie) sug-gested. “If it is referred to the court we willfight it to the last ditch,” Mr Denton replied.

Quick Distribution of BananasThe Minister for Marketing (the Hon. W.

Nash) yesterday expressed thanks to Aucklandwatersiders, the Railway Department motor-lorry contractors, and the Union Steam ShipCompany, whose efforts had made possible thequick distribution of the shipment of bananaslanded in Auckland this week. The distribu-tion constituted something like a record, saidthe Minister, and was a remarkable demons-tration of transport service.—Press Association.

Annual Poppy Day AppealCollectors will be posted at points in the

streets of Christchurch to-day for the annualPoppy Day appeal of the Christchurch ReturnedSoldiers’ Association. The association hopes forthe usual generous support from the public. Itwill endeavour to pass last year’s total collec-tion of £1670.

Future of Rongotai Airport“The special committee appointed by the

Government has submitted its report on thesuitability of Rongotai aerodrome, Wellington,as a first-class airport, and its recommendationsare being given serious consideration by theGovernment,’’ said the Minister for PublicWorks (the Hon. R. Semple) last night.“Seventy aerodromes were under constructionin the last financial year, and about 50 othersites are being considered,” Mr Semple said,referring to the steady progress being made onthe development and extension of aerodromes.“Generally, good progress has been made to-ward the ultimate requirements of civil avia-tion—adequate aerodromes at all stoppingplaces, sufficient emergency landing groundsalong air routes, satisfactory radio and meteoro-logical services, and the provision of specialequipment for night and low visibility flying,said Mr Semple.—Press Association.

New Noxious WeedA noxious weed known as Indian Mallow,

which is a native of Asia, but which is nowwell established in the United States, has beenfound in Whangarei. Officer* of the Plant Re-search Bureau say that this is the first occasionthat the weed has been reported in New Zea-land. It has a reputation in the United Statesas being, once established and allowed tomature, a very persistent weed, bearing seedof strong vitality, surviving in the soil for halfa century or more. It Is said that the conditionsin New Zealand would make for rapid growthof the weed.

Blockage on West Coast RoadA complaint of serious delay to motorists go-

ing to the West Coast caused by a small creekone and a half miles on the Canterbury side ofArthur’s Pass was made by Mr F. W. Harley,of Greymouth, at last night’s meeting of thecouncil of the Automobile Association, Canter-bury. “For a £lO note the creek could be‘corduroyed,’ and probably fixed for all time,”-said Mr Harley, “and yet car after car is be-ing stuck in the creek.”

_

The Public WorksDepartment could easily improve the position.On Good Friday no fewer than 18 cars hadbeen held up at the one creek. The meetingreferred Mr Harley’s complaint to the roadscommittee.

Explosion Victim’s Condition' Although his condition is no longer serious,

one of the two boys who were injured by theexplosion of chemicals which caused the deathof a third boy at 90 Victoria avenue, Remuera,on Sunday. April 10, was still in the AucklandHospital on Wednesday, suffering from lacera-tions to the chest. This boy is Arthur JackProsser, aged 16, son of Mr and Mrs A. Pros-ser of 11 Orakei road, Remuera. The otherboy, who was less seriously injured, FrancisHarrison-Smith, aged 16, son of Mr and MrsC. Harrison-Smith, of 85 Victoria avenue. Re-muera. has been discharged from hospital.

Admiralty Oil-tankerAfter a stay of about three months at Calliope

Wharf, the Admiralty tanker Nucula has beenmoved to Hobson Bay, Auckland. Her bert..will be required to-morrow, when the cruisersAchilles and Leander arrive from Wellingtonbefore carrying out gunnery exercises in theHauraki Gulf. A large oil tank is being con-structed for the naval base on reclaimed land atStanley Bay, and the Nucula will no longer beneeded as a supply ship. The vessel, which is32 years old, will probably be broken up or soldfor scrap.

Rains Too Late in OtagoAlthough rains have been experienced re-

cently in parts of Central Otago, it is doubtfulwhether pastures will benefit to any great ex-tent. The rains came too late in the season, itis thought, to make much growth in the grassbefore the frosts and hard winter weather isfelt. Neither has the rain had much effect onfruit trees, which are now reaching the “dead”season, when all fruits are picked and orchard-ists are waiting for the trees to ripen their woodbefore they begin pruning.

Mushrooms Plentiful in AucklandMushrooms are selling at Auckland for Is

per lb. The Easter rains coming after a pro-longed spell of warm weather have brought onunusually large quantities in districts roundAuckland, and the markets have received thebiggest supplies for several years. The mush-rooms are said to be of exceptionally goodquality.

An Eye to BusinessDisplaying a business acumen which dele-

gates were not slow to praise, a businessmandid some discreet advertising of his wares ata meeting in Christchurch this week when thequestion of a presentation was under consider-ation. He said he happened to know what therecipient of the presentation wanted, nothingless than a certain article displayed in his shop.“It is really worth about £ 15 15s, but I will letyou have it at the bargain price of 205,” he said,amid laughter.

THREE SERVICESBOUGHT

Passenger Routes InCanterbury

PURCHASES BY

STATE

Railway Department

To Take Goqtrol

The Government has completednegotiations for the purchase of threeof the biggest road passenger trans-port organisations in CanterburyListers Motors, Ltd., Mocketts Mo-tors, Ltd., and Dalzell’s Motors, Ltd.These three firms cover the majorportion of South and North Canter-bury, and their purchase by the Gov-ernment will bring under Govern-ment control the major transportservices operating in the province.

It is not yet possible to secure an

official announcement about thetransactions, but principals thethree firms involved stated to ThePress” last evening that completefinality had been reached in the ne-

gotiations. Although the servicesrun by Listers, Ltd.—Timaru-Christ-church, Timaru-Fairlie, and Timaru-Waimate—run to . some extent mcompetition with the railways, thisdoes not apply fully tO

.

firms, and the principals involvedbelieve that the only reason for thepurchases is that the Governmenthas decided to extend its policy ofthe purchase of all national trans-port services.

,

, .

It was emphasised by those af-fected in these transactions that theGovernment had not made the pur-chases compulsory, and that no press-ure had been brought to bear on thefirms selling out. Officials said thatthe prices agreed on between thethree firms and the Government hadbeen reached after arbitration, andwere satisfactory to everyone con-cerned. However, officials of allthree companies were unable to ad-vance any reason for the decision ofthe Government to make the pur-chases other than that there hadbeen a decision by the Cabinet toabsorb all road services operating.

Only Passenger ServicesThe Government is expected to fix

an early date for taking over theservices, the tentative time beingfixed for shortly after Easter. It isunderstood that the goods servicesection of the three firms affected isnot included in the transaction,which deals with the passenger linesonly. However, these three firmsundertake the major portion of thepassenger transport between the cityand South and North Canterbury.Dalzell's .Motors cover the Christ-church-Hawarden, Christchurch-Wai-kari and Christchurch-Mason’s Flatroutes. Mockett’s Motors carry pas-sengers between Christchurch andCulverden and Christchurch andHanmer. In future, with thetaking over of these three firms,the Railway Department willundertake all this passengertransport. Mockett’s Motors _ispartly competitive with the exist-ing railways service, but for sometime has carried out its transport ofpassengers to Hanmer in conjunctionwith the Railways Department. How-ever, the department will now ap-parently have something like a cqm-Elete monopoly not only on this lineut also on the other two.

, It is not intended apparently todivulge the prices paid for -the ser-vices. This procedure has been adop-ted in other purchases by thedepartment and in these new trans-actions, although the Cabinet hasapproved of the three purchases, theprices will not be made public. How-ever, it is stated unofficially that inthe aggregate, the purchase moneyhas run into many thousands ofpounds. ■

COMMENT BY MINISTERFOR TRANSPORT

(FME»« »B»OCIiT10» rII.EOEAIJ.)

WELLINGTON, April 21."From the road safety point of

view, the record this Easter is muchbetter than that .of the previousEaster," said the Minister for Trans-port (the Hon. R. Semple), com-menting to-day on the fact thatthere were five deaths between 5pm. last Thursday and noon onTuesday, against 11 in the sameperiod last Easter.

"On Easter Monday last year sixpersons were killed. On this EasterMonday there were none," he said."Traffic accidents of all kinds werefewer this Easter, though there are30,000 more vehicles registered thanat this time last year.

"Reports received indicate that,apart from that minority of reallythoughtless and careless road users,motor-drivers and motor-cyclistsshowed very much more considera-tion for one another. I regard thework of traffic officers, . and theefforts of many others assisting inthe campaign for greater road safety,as the main reason for the big im-provement which has taken place.There is a tendency for road usersto relax their vigilance when theythink the peak period of traffic isover. The coming week-end, how-ever, with Anzac Day on Monday,calls for at least as much care andcourtesy as was displayed throughEasier week."

DISEASE ATTACKSCHRYSANTHEMUMS

AUCKLAND SHOW CANCELLEDv "

-

(THE PRESS Special Service.}

AUCKLAND, April 21.Through the effects of a fungoid

disease, which has been especiallyprevalent during thelast few weeks,practically every grower of chrys-

anthemums in Auckland has ms

blooms either spoiled or destroyed.The seriousness of the disease has

been the main reason for the can-cellation of the Auckland Horticul-tural , Society’s chrysanthemumshow, which was to have been heldto-day.

Although they are unable to give

it a name, members of the horticul-tural society and leading chrysan-themum growers state that thedisease has been occasionally appar-ent in previous years; but it hasnever been so destructive as m thepresent season. They attribute thisto the recent wet and humidweather, which has been ideal forthe spread of fungoid diseases.

The first indication of the diseaseis that the leaves become discol-oured, usually a yellowy black, andthey then die back to the stem,sometimes falling off. In previousyears this has been the extent ofthe damage; .but this season thestems also have been affected. Thegrowth of blooms''has been stunted,and many have rotted at the centres.No remedy for the disease has yetbeen discovered.

As an indication of the extent ofthe disease inf Auckland, the horti-cultural society, which usually re-ceives between 400 and 500 entriesof the large show-class blooms, re-ceived only 137 entries of this typefor the exhibition just cancelled.

DEADLOCK IN DISPUTEWITH CREW

NO SERVICE TO CHATHAMISLANDS

Because a deadlock has been reachedin a dispute with the crew of theTees, the owners have decided to payoff the men and to lay up the ship.The Tees was to have sailed late onWednesday night for the ChathamIslands with cargo and 10 passen-gers.

During Wednesday carpenters wereemployed in removing hurdles andwooden divisions which had beenused in the carrying of sheep and acertain amount of rubbish and sheepmanure was left in the bottom of theholds, which had previously beencleaned up by two gangs of water-siders. The seamen claimed that thisshould be cleared up before sailing.The agents for the ship arranged withthe carpenters to do this, but the sea-men again objected, claiming that itwas watersiders’ work and should bedone only by them., Stating that they were disgustedwith the whole business, the ownersof the Tees yesterday gave instructionsto lay the ship up and the men willbe paid off to-morrow.

This action will isolate the ChathamIslands from the mainland. There arepassengers at each end desirous ofmaking the trip and there is also alarge cargo of fish and 150 head ofcattle awaiting shipment at theislands.

RARE PAINTINGFOUND

£62,000 PAID FOR GIFT

TO NATION

CUMTTZD PSKSS ASSOCIATION—COPTEI3HT.)

(Received April 21, 8.30 p.m.)

LONDON, April 21.The Rotterdam correspondent of

the, “Daily Telegraph” says that,forced to sell some of their pro-perty, a Dutch family living in mod-est circumstances in Paris, turnedout from a linen cupboard an un-framed picture which had been inthe family’s possession for 260 years.The size of the picture was 36in by

44in, and it represented Christ withHis disciples.

The picture was sent to a Dutchexpert, Dr. Bredius, who declaredit to be a fine specimen of the seven-teenth century painter Vermeer, Helater found Vermeer’s signature cov-ered with thick varnish.

Three patriotic Dutchmen pur-chased the painting for £62,000 andpresented it to the Rotterdam Mu-seum.

John Vermeer (1632-75), of Delft,often but wrongly called Van derMeer, was a noted Dutch painter whofor two centuries was all but forgot-ten. His pictures were sold, withforged signatures, as being the wotksof Metzu, Terborch, and Rembrandt,

Vermeer’s works, which are ex-tremely rare, are grouped into twoperiods, with two contrasting styles.The paintings of the earlier period,during which he. is believed to havebeen influenced "by associations withthe Rembrandt school of pamters, arebrilliant and vigwous. with a solidimpasto and a crisp, sparkling touch.During the last 10 or 12 years of hislife however Vermeer adopted a sec/ond style, in this his painting issmooth and thin, and his colours palerand softer. Instead of masculine, vig-

our. the later work shows refined de-licacy and subtlety, but in both stylesbeauty of tone and perfect harmony

are conspicuous. Through all his workmay be traced his love of lemon-yel-low and of blue of all shades.

The attention of the art world wasfirsl redirected to Vermeer by theFrenchman There, who Puhixshed.un-der the assumed name of Burger, a

treatise on Flemish art (I860), mmore recent years the British essayist,E. V. Lucas, has written extensivelyon Vermeer for whom he has shownthe most profound admiration.

CLOUSTON ON HISFLIGHT

STORY OF DECISION TOCOME TO N.Z.

STRAIN OF LONG JOURNEY

LONDON, April 2The story of how he decided to fly

to New Zealand instead of just going

as far as Australia on his recent flightwas told by Flying Officer A. E. Clous-ton, the New Zealand airman, duringa talk with his co-pilot, Mr VictorRicketts, in a “World Goes By pro-gramme from the British BroadcastingCorporation on March 30.

“Our original idea was that weshould try to break the records for aflight to Australia and back, he said.“But, you see, I am a New Zealandermyself When I began to plot out theschedules and courses for the flightIs far as Sydney. I saw just a fewinches'of blue space on the map sep-arating south-eastern Australia frommy home town of Motueka. The fewinches really represented 1400 miles offlying out of sight of dry land. Itsounds a long way. B«t when youfly for a living, as I do, you C9meto have such faith in a pair of engines

that the idea of falling into the watersimply doesn't occur to you.

“ ‘l’m going on across the water toNew Zealand,’ I decided, saJ“-*“I’d actually far rather fly the Cometacross the open sea than roughcountry. You see, flying at 200 milesan hour over land as the Comet does,you need to be always on the look-outfor mountains and landmarks. Thereare many places across the worldwhere the mountains stick up thou-sands of feet higher than the map-makers know. You can imagine foryourself how unpleasantly exciting thiscan be when you are roaring blindlythrough the clouds.

“It shakes you to think there maybe a couple of thousand feet of, very

hard rock right in the middle ot theclouds, where you can’t see them, headded. “The old Comet is a toughmachine, but age-old rocks are a gooddeal tougher, and it’s just good-nightand finish if you hit them.”

The airman told of his dead-reckon-ing calculations and the assistance hegot from the spray off waves and otherindicators in judging wind strengths-

Pilots "Good Pals""Sitting quietly here in the studio,

it is very difficult even for us whohave been through it really to imaginehow tired we felt, going on and on,day after day, night after night,’ besaid. “One man, flying alone, canfairly easily make a 5000 mile recordhop. But when it comes to three orfour times that distance, well, then;you must have relief in the air. Andyou must have friendly relief.

“Victor Ricketts and .1 sometimessnapped at each other a bit after end-less days of flying," he continued. “Butbeneath it all we were really goodpals We would share the controlsand in between times we’d crack jokes,shouting above theroar of the engines.

“After 10 or 12 hours’ flying, wedfeel about finished, fed up, and irrit-able about everything. Then alongwould come the next aerodrome onour schedule. Down would go theComet for its usual 90 miles an hourlanding. We’d find a big meal waitingfor us, maybe three or four eggs, asteak tea, bacon. Ten nunutesing, another 10 stretching our legs, andwe’d be off again, fresh and fit oncemore. It is extraordinary what thehuman body will stand up to whennecessary.

THE DEFENCE OFAUSTRALIA

DETAILS OF THREE-YEARPROGRAMME

TOTAL COST OF £43,000,000

IVKOU OUR OWII COERMPOBDMT.)

SYDNEY. March 25.Full details of a greatly increased

defence expenditure, because of dis-turbing international developments,were announced by the Prime Minis-ter, Mr J. A. Lyons, in a nation-widebroadcast on Thursday night. All threeservices are to be greatly expanded by

a three years’ programme, which is tocost, in all. £43.000.000, which includes£24 800,000 for additions decided on

as a result of oversea danger.The principal features of the new

programme are:— .

The total new expenditure on theNavy will be £7.780.000. Two modernships of the H.M.A.S. Sydney type, of7000 tons, with six-inch guns, aretobe purchased from the United Kingdom

P Government, and the seaplane-carrier Albatross will be taken overby that Government. Two sloops andthree local seaward defence vessels areto be constructed in Sydney, and the10,000-ton cruisers Canberra and Aus-tralia are to be modernised. Defencesof the main ports are to be completed,and sea-going personnel to be in-

creased by 1500. .

The total new expenditure on theArmy is to be £5,500,000. Coast de-fences are to be strengthened; per-manent troops increased; and the stan-dard of efficiency of the militia forcesto be raised, but the strength of themilitia forces is not to be increased.

Additional AircraftThe sum of £8.800,000 is to be pro-

vided to complete the Salmond schemeof air defence within the next threeyears. This will increase the first-line strength of aircraft apart fromreserves, from 96 to 198. N®w AirForce squadrons are to be added atDarwin, Brisbane, Canberra,, on theNew South Wales coast, and m West-ern Australia.

The total new expenditure for Gov-ernment munitions factories and theorganisation is to be £2,800,000.

Mr Lyons said that the Governmenthad been increasing defences over uielast five years. Recent events had in-dicated the need for even greater pre-paredness. The Government fullyrealised the grave obligation for theadequate defence of Australia, and theprogramme outlined was the result ofextensive preparatory work. Muchaswe may deplore the need for a heavyexpenditure on armaments,” he said,“the price for the preservation ofpeaceis small when compared with the costof the ravages of war; and if we areprepared to defend ourselves, we aremore likely to deter an aggressor andto continue to live in peace.

Naval ProgrammeReferring to the naval programme,

Mr Lyons said that the two cruisersto be purchased were completed in1936. One would be taken oyer nextSeptember, and the other m July,1939, the interim being needed to trainpersonnel. Tlxe Albatross, which hadbeen in reserve here for several years,could be more usefully employed bythe British Navy. The vessels to beconstructed in Sydney were intendedto strengthen the anti-submarine pat-rol work. The extensive provisions tocomplete the defences of the mainports were secret and could, not bedivulged

The ports at whfch the fixed coastdefences are to be greatly strengthenedare Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, PortKembla, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide.Albany, Fremantle, and Darwin. Par-ticular attention is to be given to Dar-win, which, Mr Lyons emphasised, isan important adjunct to the Singaporenaval base, and a world airport ofgrowing importance. Of the sum to bespent on the army, £1,750,000 is to beallocated to modern armament, suchas anti-tank guns and rifles, lighttanks, armoured cars, and mobileequipment '

The new Air Force units will be twosquadrons at Darwin, one at Brisbane,three at Canberra, two at a site onthe New South Wales coast to bechosen, and one in Western Australia.In view of the demand on British air-craft factories, the Government hasadvised the Melbourne factory of theCommonwealth Aircraft Corporationto lay in larger stocks of materialsthan required for the 40 aeroplanesnow on order from it.

THE GALLIPOLI LANDING

Hitherto Unpublished Description• ■

NAVAL OFFICER’S LETTER TONEW ZEALAND

Praise for Heroism of Anzac Soldiers

A dramatic story of the heroism of British and colonialtroops at the landing at Gallipoli is told in the following hithertounpublished letter from a naval officer on a vessel which played

a vitally important part In the action. This officer, LieutenantStevenson, of H.M.S. Implacable, writing to a relative in NewZealand, gave an unvarnished account of the work of the Navyand of the British and colonial armies in the attack on theTurkish stronghold. In his letter he pays what must rank asone of the finest of unsolicited tributes to the Anzac troops.

Lieutenant Stevenson’s letter is notable for the emphasis it layson the remarkable work of the British troops in paving the way

for the successes of New Zealand and Australian soldiers againstthe courageous Turkish ranks. He and the other officers of hisfamous ship saw the attack which was made by the British

troops, who constituted the last intact division of the old BritishArmy.

Of the Anzacs, Lieutenant Stevenson said, when writingfrom Gallipoli on May 20, 1915: “An officer of the Iniskillingssaw them in action, and he said that they were as good as anyBritish regulars he had ever seen. They have done splendidly.”The letter pays a warm tribute to the heroism of the Turkishdefenders.

We originally arrived at Lemnoson March 23 and found, a very largefleet collected there, about 60 shipsor more, mostly transports. We gotrather a shock when we arrived, as,although we had heard of the loss ofthe Irresistible, Ocean and Bouvetwhile we were at Malta, We stillthought that things were going swim-mingly and that we should be throughthe straits before very much longer,

as the only news we had on the sub-ject were the official newspaper re-ports. However, when we got toLemnos we discovered that in realityall that had been done was to knockout the two forts at either side of theentrance, and that the loss of the threeships on March 18 was quite a severesetback for us. This rather dampedour spirits, as we had actually thoughton our way out that if we wanted tocome in for any of the show at allwe should have to hurry up or weshould find the fleet at Constantinoplebefore we arrived on.the scene. Whilewe were at Lemnos at lot of trans-ports left for Egypt, apparently tosort themselves out and get all theirstores, ammunition, etc., stowed pro*perly, and it was evidently going tobe some time before any landingactually took place. We stayed atLemnos till Friday, March 26, when weleft for Tenedos, just at the entranceto the Dardanelles, where all the shipsdoing patrol work, two battleships al-ways at sea ofit the straits, and severalmore at anchor off Tenedos, werebased. This, of course, was chiefly incase the Goeben came out. At 4 p.m.on Saturday we went out on patrolfor 24 hours, our billet being betweenthe Island of Imbros and the peninsula.

No Turks Seen 1On Sundaymorning we shelled a val-

ley where some Turkish cavalry weresupposed to be. This, of course, wasthe first time we had fired our gunsin anger, and we quite expected to beunder a heavy fire from the shore, butas a matter of fact the results wererather disappointing, as we never sawe single Turk and never had even arifle fired at us. In the afternoon wefired again at a hill called Achi Baba,which you will hear a good deal moreabout later. It is the highest bit ofland in the southern end of the penin-sula and overlooks all the groundsouthof it. We were relieved on Sundayevening and went back to Tenedos,but got under way about 9 p.m. again,as ship further up had reported alot of smoke, apparently from a shipcoming down the Dardanelles, and wethought it might be the Goeben. 'Wecruised about till morning, and noth-ing having happened we anchoredagain at daylight. The same sort ofthing went on till Tuesday, April 13,doing 24 hours or 48 hours’ patrol andeasing off our guns at supposed bat-teries and anything we thought lookedlike gun emplacements, etc. During thewhole time no ship ever went morethan a mile inside the straits at the

, most. We never went inside once; ournearest attempt was when we bom-barded Seddul.Bahr village one nightat about 10 o’clock. It was quite anamusing show, and we thought that atlast we were bound to get fired on.

The idea was that the troops manningthe defences were supposed to go intothe village to sleep at night, otherwiseof course the village was deserted, all

■ the inhabitants of the villages andcountry round about having beenpushed off out of it. We steamed upto the entrance about 10 o’clock, withall lights out, of course, and,when offthe village we switched on our search-lights and started a great fusilladewith our six-inch and 12-pounder,guns.It was a great show, far ahead of anyfireworks display, you can possiblyimagine, what with the searchlights,the flashes of the guns, and the. burst-ing shells ashore. We kept it up forabout half an hour, and then turnedround and came out. We never reallydiscovered whether we had killed anyTurks, though we must have blownthe village pretty nearly to bits; theonly question was whether there wereever any Turks in it. They have got somewonderfully good searchlights up to-wards the Narrows, which they kepton us the whole time; but much toour surprise they again never fireda single shot.

Transport! ArriveOn Tuesday, April 13, we went, to

Lemnos to practise landing operations,the transports having started to arrive,and we stayed there till the landingoperations commenced. It was a mostextraordinary thing that we never sawa single living thing, and never hada shot fired at us during the wholetime we were up and down the coastof the peninsula, nearly three weeksoff and on. It was not only us—-no one in any ship ever saw a singleTurk. We stayed at Mudros till theevening of Friday, April 23, practis-ing landing the troops every day andgenerally getting ready for the bigeffort. More and more transports keptarriving every day until the harbourwas absolutely crammed with themand there was no room for more, al-though it (the harbour I mean) is avery big one. It was during this timethat the transport Manlton was unsuc-cessfully attacked by a Turkish tor-pedo boat on her way up from Egypt,and also that El 5 went ashore and wasdestroyed by two picket boats from thefleet The latter was a fine show, andsplendidly carried out under a veryheavy fire, and they were very luckyto get back with only one casualty (theplacet boats. I mean. The crew of thesubmarine were captured by the Turks,as I dare say you remember.

Saturday,. May 22.—Since writingthe above we have got the papers withAshmead-Bartlett’s account of thehading in them, and it's ao good that

■ ‘

it’s no use me trying to give you anaccount of the whole show, as Icouldn’t possibly improve upon it, soI will just tell you my small part ofthe business. The scheme of thingswas that the 29th Division, the lastintact division of the old British Army,and some of the finest regiments atthat, were to land on the southern endwhile the Australians and New Zea-land contingent were to land north ofGaba Tepe. We were in the southernpart of the show. Our job was toland the Royal Fusiliers on X beach,and to do so we had eight tows offour boats each, towed by picket boats.We left Lemnos on Friday evening(23rd), and arrived at Tenedos thenext morning. During the day thewind got up considerably, and wethought the landing would probablyhave to be postponed, but the winddied down towards evening, and forthe actual landing the weather wasperfect. It had already been post-poned for two days on account of theweather. About 4 p.m. on Saturdaywe started getting the troops on board,750 altogether, just about double ourcomplement, so you can imagine whata Squash there was. We all gave upour cabins to the officers of course,- asit was the last • decent night’s restthey would have for some time.We left Tenedos at 9.30 p.m. withfour tows of boats astern and with twotrawlers and two fleet sweepers (shipsof about 300 tons or so) following us,each with one tow of boats astern ofit, the idea being that we were toland the lot aboard of us first andthen the boats would go back for therest of the troops of the covering partywho would have embarked in the fleetsweepers from the transports by then.We arrived at the rendezvous about3.30 a.m., while it was still dark, andstopped to wait for it to get light.About 4 o’clock we started gettingthe troops into the boats and at 5o’clock the bombardment commenced.It was carried out by about six battle-ships and was one of the finest sightsI have ever seen.

Successful RuseThe sun rose about 5.30 and when

the bombardment commenced the skywas reddening for the sunrise rightbehind the peninsula. After they had'been at it for about 20 minutes thewhole of the southern end of the penin-sula was hidden under an enormouscloud of smoke from the burstingshells and dust which, with the sunrising behind it, looked all red, and allthrough it you could see the flashes ofthe bursting shell. Not a single shotwas fired at the ships even then, whichwas the enemy’s plan to lull us into afalse sense of security. And very wellit succeeded, too; no one expected fora moment that we should run upagainst the very determined oppositionwhich we faced. There was a sort oftime-table laid down, something afterthe style of the Kaiser’s Calais time-table, by which Achi Baba was to bein our hands by 6 p.m.. About 5 a.m.we started moving in towards theshore with the boats following us.All the time the bombardment was go-ing on, and it looked as if nothingcould possibly live in it, but as a mat-ter of fact I don’t think it did a greatamount of damage because as soon asit commenced the Turks all retired totheir bomb-proof shelters. We stoodright on with the boats behind us untilwe got opposite X beach, and at agiven time, about 5.45, we started tosteam in. Wd* went on in as far aswe could go with the boats followingus until we were not more than 500yards or so from the beach, and allthe time we were easing off for all wpwere worth with the fore turret, asmany 61n guns as would bear, and alsoa lotof 12-pounders. The latter wekepton the top of the cliffs all along thetop of the beach. When we could gono farther in we stopped and the boatswent past us, but we still kept on firingover their heads until they wereactually on the beach. It was a mostsuccessful business5 and we got quitea lot of kudos out of it as our lotwere landed without a single casualty.Of course we had not got the sameopposition up against us as they hadat tne other beaches, but still it wasa good show. As soon as we had gotthe troops ashore we went astern andsiill kept peppering away with din atlikely-looking places on our starboardside, and eventually anchored about1000 vards from the shore to hoist outtwo steamboats. This was a mostperilous undertaking, as we had noend of men on the upper deck forworking the main derrick and the un-fortunate officer in charge of the busi-ness (your humble servant) wasperched up in a most exposed posi-tion on the after bridge, just astern ofthe mainmast.

Work by SnipersOf course as soon as all the men

appeared on the upper _ deck theTurkish snipers started loosing off andwe had the bullets zip zipping allround us, not to mention two or threeshells from a field gun, which for-tunately went over us. It was thefirst time I had been under fire andI don’t mind confessing that I didn’tlike it one little bit. I was very gladto get off that bridge when we hadgot the boats out. However, no onewas hit, which seemed very marvel-lous to me, as there seemed to be aperfect hail of bullets coming over;but I don’t suppose it was very muchreally. As soon as we had got theboats but we went to our action sta-tions again. You should have just seenme going up that mast to the foretop(half-way up); I fairly flew up as Ihad no use for being hit and droppingdown about 100 feet on to the upperdeck. We did not do any more firingfor a bit and we just stayed at ourstations (in case anything should cropup) for an hour or so, and then wentto breakfast. As we were going into land the Royals on X beach wecould see the boats going into W-beach, the Lancashire Fusiliers landedthere, and a wonderful show they putup, too. The whole of the water allround the boats was a sort of latherof foam and spray from machine-gun and rifle Sx% I believe they had*

200 casualties before they ever setfoot on the beach and yet they gotthrough an undamaged wire entangle-ment about 10 yards wide, charged upa steep hill, and drove the Turks outof their trenches with the bayonet.The beach was an awful sight afterthey had landed, absolutely piled up

with dead and wounded. It was awonderful show, and I don't believeany other than British troops wouldever have done it. Several Germanofficers who were captured said thatthey were absolutely astounded thatwe ever managed to land at all—theythought that if there was one placein the world which was impregnableit was that end of the Gallipoli Penin-sula. All the time we were at actionstations before breakfast we werewatghing the troops from W beachtrying to get the Turks out of theirtrenches just behind Tekeh Burna, butthey were 'repulsed several times asthe enemy were in a very, strongposition. It was not till about 10o’clock that they managed to dislodgethem and even then they did not en-tirely clear them out..

Cheers From ManyIt was most interesting watch-

ing it all, as we could see every-thing that went on. First we saw theLancashires gradually get round thecliff on the enemy’s right flank. Then,some time later, the Royals workedtheir way round from X beach andgot behind them and they graduallyclosed in and we saw first one Turkand then another and another get up,about 50 altogether, and hold theirhands up -while our men advancedwith fixed bayonets. My word, howwe cheered. There was practically thewhole of the ship’s company up onthe quarterdeck looking on and we allyelled ourselves hoarse and thesoldiers waved back at us, so they musthave heard; it was one of the finestsights I have ever seen, all thoseblooming Turks walking along withtheir hands above their heads and theTommies coming on with their bayo-nets, I don’t think I have ever laughedso much, they did look so silly. Alittle later on the worst thingof the lot happened, as far as the shipwas concerned. The Fleet Surgeon, oneof the very best fellows I have evermet, was shot through the body whilestanding on the quarterdeck and watch-ing the show, either by a stray bullet ora sniper, and died about a quarter ofan hour later. He’s got a wife andchild at home, too.' We did not havemuch excitement till the afternoon,■when we went to action stations andshelled the Turks who were pressingthe Royals very badly just above Xbeach. They (the Royals) were goodenough to say that we saved the wholesituation then and again during thenight—in fact, they couldn’t say enoughfor us. Please don't think I am brag-ging or anything of that sort; I don’tthink there is much doubt that theship did very good work indeed, but,of course, all the credit is due to thecaptain, commander, and gunnery lieu-tenant. We also knocked out a batterywhich was annoying the troops on theleft wing considerably. We did a gooddeal more firing during the day. atone thing or another, and when it gotdark we thought we could retire tobed and have a nice comfortable night,but about midnight a most furiousfusilade started ashore (it was theTurks attacking our troops) and wewent to action statiras again andhlazed away with our six-inch guns formost of the remainder of the night.Of course we couldn’t see what .dam-age we were doing—we were simplyfiring away with the same range and inthe same direction as we had beenduring the day; but we heard after-wards that our fire was very effectiveand as I said before, more or lesssaved the situation, but naturally thatwas mostly luck. Many officers Italked to afterwards said that if theTurks had made a really determinedattack that night they could havepushed us Into the sea with the great-est ease.

NO COMMENT BYMINISTER

ARBITRATION COURT ANDWAGE RATES

DECISION OF FEDERATIONOF LABOUR

(TKBSS A. SSSCIATIO* TBLIOBAM.)

WELLINGTON, April 21.The question was not for him to

comment on, and the Government hadnever considered it, said the Ministerfor Labour (the Hon. H. T. Armstrong)when asked to-day whether he couldoutline his attitude to the decisionmade by the annual conference of theFederation of Labour to ask the Gov-ernment to instruct the Courts ofArbitration to make a pronouncementin favour of an increase in wages, justas the previous Government had in-structed the Court to make a similarpronouncement reducing wages.

Referring to the dissatisfaction ex-pressed by the federation with delaysoccurring in the issuing of awards bythe Courts, Mr Armstrong said therehad previously been enormous arrearsof work piled up for the Courts. Thishad to some extent been accentuatedby the number of short-dated awards.Many parties were hardly out of Courtbefore they were wanting to get backagain. “Several awards had been madefor less than a year for sections ofworkers and employers with a view tonational awards being obtained later.The more national agreements thereare, the easier it will be for theCourts,” the Minister said.

The federation decided to bring acomplaint about the delay under thenotice of the Government, and to drawattention to section 87 of the Indus-trial Conciliation and Arbitration Actwhich provides that except in specialcircumstances, awards are to be issuedwithin a month of the hearing of theclaims. »

Referring to-day to his relationswith the federation, Mr Armstrongsaid he was not taking any exceptionto the representations of the federa-tion. “It seems to be taking up quitea reasonable attitude as far as I amconcerned.” he said. “There seems tobe complete harmony now, and anentire absence of faction fights. It

all to the good.” '

ASSOCIATION TILIOBAM.)

WELLINGTON. April 21.Reports he had received that certain

retailers had advanced prices for chil-dren’s shoes and had told customersthat the advance was due to the im-

position of a tariff, were the subjectof comment by the Minister for Indus-tries and Commerce (the Hon. D. G.Sullivan) to-day. There had been noincrease in the tariff on children sfootwear. Such action on the part ofthe retailers was unfair, he said.

The Minister said he had. instructeddistrict officers to watch the positionvery closely and, where there was de-finite evidence of such exploitation, ac-tion would be taken under the Boardof Trade Act or the Prevention of Pro-fiteering Act.

LIABILITY FORDAMAGES

MOTOR ACCIDENTS

IMPORTANT CHANGE

PROPOSED

REMIT APPROVED BY LEGAL

CONFERENCE

As the law is at present, a personwhose negligence contributes to an

accident may in general be barredfrom obtaining damages for his in-juries. In motor-car accidents this ruleshould not apply, according to a de-cision made yesterday at the annualconference of the New Zealand LawSociety. The conference approved theprinciple of absolute liability for per-sonal injury in motor collision cases,provided the liability was covered bycompulsory insurance. A prominentsupporter of the principle of abso-lute liability in those accidents was theAttorney-General (the Hon. H. G. R.Mason).

The conference was asked to adopta remit that the principle of absoluteliability in motor collision cases beapproved, with provision for assess-ment of damages by a judge and twonon-reprosentative assessors. A paperread by Mr W. J. Sim, of Christchurch,led to the discussion on the remitwhich was amended and passed as fol-lows;—“That the conference approvesthe principle of absolute liability forpersonal injury in motor collision cases,such liability to be covered by com-pulsory insurance, with provision forcompensation to be assessed in somesuitable manner.”

In his paper, Mr Sim made the pointthat in practice the attitude adoptedby juries in present claims for dam-ages made the result almost a fore-gone conclusion for the plaintiff againstthe insurance companies—so that, infact, the law of the absolute liabilityof motorists was being administerednow.

Exceptions to LawAny bill dealing with the subject

must contain well-defined exceptionsfrom the general principle of absoluteliability, Mr Sim said. He under-stood that the new bill prepared by theAttorney-General, the Hon. H. G. R.Mason, made provision for such excep-tions as suicide, intoxication on the•'art of the plaintiff. ’ and also disal-lowed claims by passengers in theoffending car against its driver, as wasthe case under the existing MotorVehicles Insurance Act, 1928.

Behind the law, too, there must bean effective workable insurancescheme. In other words, the presentscheme should be extended and foundworkable. At this stage the actualpersonnel of the Court, as suggestedby the remit, was a minor considera-tion, said Mr Sim, who went on to setout possible forms such a tribunalmight take.

The adjustment of contributory neg-ligence as between two vehicles re-quired special attention, but as _itwould necessarily be between two in-surance companies, it and all suchquestions, whether of law or fact,might well be committed for trial byJudge alone.

After referring to previous sugges-tions that the use of juries in suchcases might be dispensed with. MrSim said that an inescapable factwhich had to be faced was that anysuggestion that juries be dispensedwith in the trial of common law mat-ters was futile. One result of thepresent system had been that by rea-son of the compulsory scheme of in-surance on all motorists every jury ap-proached the trial as a matter betweenthe plaintiff and the insurance com-pany. and not as between plaintiff anddefendant.

“The point I wish to emphasise isthat we have reached a stage whereinsurance companies have practicallyto accept the position that they mustadmit liability in all cases., Thismeans that while we have one lawwritten into the books another isbeing applied by the juries in thepractical administration of justice. Todeclare absolute liability is not to makea change in the law, but it is only todeclare truly the law as it is beingpractically administered at present."

Views of Former MinisterAmong those supporting the proposal

was Mr F. J. Rolleston, of Timaru, who,as Minister for Justice, introduced theMotor Vehicles (Third Party Bisks)Act, 1928. He said that the objectionswhich were now raised against theprinciple of absolute liability in rela-tion to motor collisions, were familiarto him. They were all brought for-ward in strenuous opposition to com-pulsory third-party insurance, whenthat change in the law was being dis-cussed in 1928.

The Attorney-General also sup-ported the remit. Mr Mason said thatadequate safeguards, in the nature ofexceptions, should be included in anybill giving effect to the principle ofabsolute liability. These would re-quire careful consideration before theamendment of the present law wasfinally formulated in applying by stat-ute the principle of absolute liabilityto motor-collision accidents. The sug-gestion that such legislation wouldplace a stigma on the innocent motor-ist causing injury was ill-conceived.The proposed amendment of the lawwould have the contrary effect, since,if damages were to be awarded as ofcourse, there could be no stigma ap-plying to anyone. Moreover, as mo-torists could recover damages againstother motorists causing them injury,the pedestrian was not the sole bene-ficiary of the suggested legislation,

LAWYERS AND PUBLIC/

DEFINITION GIVEN OPRELATIONSHIP

A suggestion that the present Christ-mas vacation of 14 days for legaloffices be reconsidered, in the lightof the advisability of preserving con-tinuous legal service to the public, wasput forward at the annual conferenceof the New Zealand Law Society yes-terday by Mr A. C. Stephens, of Dun-edin. Lawyers must always be avail-able when needed by the public, MrStephens maintained.

Mr Stephens, in his address, dealtwith the relations of the legal profes-sion and the public, stating that be-cause of their specialised knowledgeand daily experience, lawyers wereable at their annual conference to in-dicate where laws might be improvedin the interests of the community asa whole. J ,

He emphasised the standards whichit was essential for the_ members ofthe profession to maintain, defining alawyer’s duty ofservice, the necessitythat he be honest and honourable, thathe should be prepared to give gratui-tous assistance topoor litigants—a planfor which was now being formulated—

and that he should give general ser-vice -to the community, even outsidethe general sphere,

COURSE FOR LAWSTUDENTS

NEW REGULATIONSCRITICISED

SUGGESTED DELETION OF

SUBJECTS

The new syllabus for students takingthe Bachelor of Laws course as pre-scribed by the University of New Zea-land was criticised by Mr W. D. Camp-bell, speaking yesterday at the annualconference of the-New Zealand LawSociety. Too many subjects were in-cluded in the new course, he said, andhe suggested that some of the compul-sory cultural subjects should be madeoptional.

He considered that the new require-ments embraced an undue number ofsubjects—lß in all—and this asked toomuch of the student, who, at the sametime, had to do his practical trainingin a legal office. He supported aca-demic training to some extent, he said,but it was only the beginning of thefoundation of the law student’s career.But an excessive number of subjectswas now required for a five-years’course. Five were purely culturalsubjects, and three of them were com-pulsory. However, insufficient timewas allowed for any deep-seated studyof Latin and Roman law, each ofwhich- should be removed from thecompulsory class, and placed in theoptional list

Mr Campbell doubted if the optionwould be exercised. He would alsoexclude from the pass degree conflictof laws and international law. Logic,too, should be placed in the formercourse, as a training in this subjectwould cultivate the reasoning facul-ties English, for the proper expres-sion of the result of that reasoning,should be allied with it as a compul-sory subject.

,.

~ ,

He also criticised the order in whichthe various subjects were to bestudied. ..

Mr Campbell’s motion, suggestingthat the New Zealand Law Societyconsider the new syllabus published inthe New Zealand University Calendarfor 1938, was carried.

REMIT REJECTED

PROTECTION OF GUARANTORS

Statutory safeguards for guarantorswas sought in a remit placed beforethe annual conference of the NewZealand Law Society yesterday byMr F B. Adams, of Dunedin. MrAdams said that the intention was toprovide safeguards for persons who,through ignorance or carelessness,signed guarantee documents whichwent much further than appeared, intheir wording, owing to the legal im-plications not being contemplated, bythe person signing.

The speaker made suggestions forlegislation to meet the situation.

The remit was not approved by theconference.

DISMISSALS OFEMPLOYEES

STATEMENT BY MRT. HYDE

SERIOUS POSITION CLAIMEDIN CLOTHING INDUSTRY

The contention that individual em-

ployees of manufacturing firms hadapproached their employers to takesome action over dismissals whichhad taken place and that the clothingtrade unions were not adequately intouch with the position was made byMr T. Hyde, secretary of the Canter-bury Manufacturers’ Association, yes-terday, when replying to a recent de-nial by Mr J. Roberts, secretary of theNew Zealand Clothing Trades Federa-tion, that firms had been forced todismiss large numbers of their staffs.

Mr Hyde said that Mr Roberts hadbeen in Wellington during Accent de-velopments in Christchurch, and thatit had to be remembered when MrRoberts referred to dismissals of menthat there were 10,000 females em-ployed in the industry, as against 1500males, and employers were naturallyreluctant to dismiss men, who usuallyhad dependants. Nevertheless, figuresshowed that a large number of menhad been dismissed as well as women.It was absurd to state that this wasbeing done with the object of “im-pressing the Government” or “influen-cing the Arbitration Court,” as mostof the firms were small, with an aver-age of about 30 employees, and couldnot afford to take such action even ifthey wished.

Discussing the position in sixbranches of the industry, he said thatone shirt manufacturing firm had 02employees fewer since last Christmas,and others were in a similar position.There had been a considerable loss ofproduction and wages through shorttime, and manufacturers had' beenbuilding up stores and obtaining or-ders below cost to keep their staffstogether and their organisations intact.

Of the two principal underclothingfirms in Christchurch, one had dis-missed 80 females and five males sinceChristmas, and the other had dismissed21 females.

Minister’s Statement Criticised“This industry has- made very strong

representations to the Government,particularly over the last six months,he said. “The recent tariff amend-ment unfortunately came too late tobe of any'use. The country has beenflooded with importations. Further-more. it must be realised that thehuge imports from the United King-dom were not affected by these mea-SU“Tlie Minister for Labour states that‘To dismiss employees and then seeka re'medy from the Government is tomy mind entirely wrong.’ The Min-ister’s remarks indicate a lack of in-formation on this phase. Last Novem-ber the Minister for Industries andCommerce was told that unless thesituation improved, manufacturerswould be compelled to dismiss theirstaffs. In compliance with the Min-ister’s wishes these dismissals weredelayed as long as was humanly pos-sible. This desire on the part of manu-facturers to meet the Minister s wisheshas reacted very much to their disad-vantage. The evidence of these .pro-tracted negotiations is available eitherfrom the Department of Industriesand Commerce or from my office.”

In the frock and white work manu-facturing trade, which made represen-tations to the Government last. No-vember, the eight principal firms inChristchurch were all working withreduced staffs, and this state of affairshad existed for the last four months,said Mr Hyde. Complete cessation ofwork was being seriously consideredin certain cases.

The position in the . men s . outerclothing industry was very similarto that in the frock and underclothingindustry four months ago. A numberof firms had been asked to withholdtheir indents pending further deliveryinstructions from retailers. Ordersfor summer business were poor becauseof importations from abroad, princi-pally the United Kingdom. Therewould be heavy dismissals in the nearfuture and some were now takingplace. The position was similar m thewomen’s and girls’ outer clothingtrade, and in the millinery trade, al-though there had yet been no dismis-sals in Christchurch, staffs had been re-tained by accepting orders at cutprices.

Arbitration Court Evidence“Only last week manufacturers from

all over* the Dominion gave similarevidence on oath before the Arbitra-tion Court," he said. “Mr Roberts de-signed these statements as .‘a wickedmisstatement and pure fiction. It isdifficult to understand what particularreasons Mr Roberts had to induce himto make such remarks. My evidenceon Christchurch conditions is com-plete and open to investigation. Eitherdesignedly or accidentally Mr Robertsgives the impression that he is notperturbed by conditions which are.af-fecting the members of his own union.However Mr Roberts may gloss overtho situation, the fact still remainsthat the clothing industry as a wholeemploys more than half of the femalesengaged, in all manufacturing indus-

also, Mr Roberts haschosen to ignore the prevalence - ofshort time and the effect that thismust have on wages earned by em-ployees as well as on the economicand efficient administration of manu-facturing concerns. .

“Mr Roberts makes the point that hewill not in future associate with cloth-ing manufacturers in their representa-tions to the Government if statementsof this nature are issued. He over-looks the all-important factor that theinterests of the manufacturers andtheir employees are both bound up inthe future welfare of the clothing in-dustry. The situation is one demand-ing the complete co-operation of .allthose connected with the industries.It ta most regrettable that Mr Robertsshould threaten to withdrawals sup-port at such a critical time.

SUPPORT FOR MRHYDE

SALES MANAGER’S VIEWS

Full support of the statement madeby Mr T. Hyde, secretary oi theCanterbury Manufacturers’ Association,on the dismissals of employees in theclothing trade industry was given

by Mr W. J. McKenzie, sales managerfor e large distributing house of tex-tile machinery. He stated that hisbusiness necessitated calling on fac-tories in the clothing industry all overthe South Island, so that he was in agood position to offer comment.

He said that never, even in the de-pression period, were these industriesso disturbed than at the present time.Nearly every factory had considerably

reduced their staffs; the only con-cerns that were not affected weremanufacturing retailers, who wereloaded with piece goods, which mustbe turned into cash. The position atpresent was most alarming and calledfor an immediate action on the partof the Government, if these industrieswere to be saved from disaster.

,

New Zealand manufacturers, withtheir higher production costs and thesmall domestic market, were in a mostunfavourable position and could nothope to compete with overseas manu-facturers without further protection.Considerable capital had been investedin New Zealand industries, whichmust be protected at all costs. Tneposition of all branches of the cloth-ing industries was most alarming atthe present time.

FRUIT FROM COOKISLANDS

HOPE FOR CO-OPERATIONOF GROWERS

MINISTER DISCUSSES RECENTDIFFICULTY

(FMsss laaocimoir telxopiu.)

WELLINGTON, April 21.“I am certain that there will be no

more non-co-operation or Gandhi-isxnin the Cook Islands,” said the Acting-Minister lor the Cook Islands (the Hon.F. Langstone) referring to-night to thereported banana growers’ strike atRarotonga.

Outlining the arrangements whichhad been made for the shipment offruit from the islands, the Minister re-called that these had been arrived atafter a conference in Wellington ofrepresentatives from Fiji, Tonga* Sa-moa, Niue, and the Cook group.“Arrangements v/ere made on agenerous basis, and the Rarotonganswere to follow the same procedure asgrowers in other islands,” Mr Lang-stone continued. “When the Matuawent down she was to take somethingmore than 2000 cases at Rarotonga. 1was surprised to learn that only 700or so were put on board. Other placeswere communicated with, and theywere glad to avail themselves of theincrease in their quotas to make upthis deficiency. This action has beendetrimental, not for New Zealand, butfor

.the Rarotongans themselves.

Those who were trying to induce theRarotongans not to 4hip the fruit didnot have the interests of the Raro-tongans at heart. If these - peoplethink they can harm the interests ofNew Zealand, they are making aprettybig mistake. The growers at Rarotongaare only a part of a big marketingmovement, and the sooner they realisethat, the better for them. If they re-fuse to co-operate and ship the quotaallowed, others will make that up, andget the benefits which should go tothe Rarotongans; but I think thetrouble is ended now, and we hopethat next time the ship goes down,the Rarotongans will send all theirquota of fruit.”

Welfare of RarotongansThe Minister said the Cook Islands

Department was interested, as the ad-ministrative department, in lookingafter the welfare of the Rarotongans,which would be safeguarded up to thelimit. “The more prosperous we canmake the Rarotongans, the less theywill have to lean on New Zealand forannual contributions for health andeducation, and other social facilities,”Mr Langstone said. "Up to the pre-sent New Zealand has had to findconsiderable sums each year to assistin the development of Rarotonga. Wesent to Jamaica and got an expertwho is now in the territory to teachthem how to grow oranges and tropi-cal fruits, and everything is beingdone in an intelligent way to help todevelop the Rarotongans in the in-dustry of fruit culture. New Zealandis their only market, and we are safe-guarding that market in their interests.Evidently some busybody down there,not knowing or understanding whatwas being done, and the reason for it,-told the natives some story, and forthat shipment they did not co-operateto the extent to which we exnected.

The Minister said that the Tonganswere in the unfortunate position that,in addition to freight on the cargo,they had to pay a premium 6f £2OOto get the ship to call there, and thisextra exoense was borne by thegrowers. They would be very pleasedto increase their trade with New Zea-land, even under those adverse condi-tions.

BRILLIANT FILLY

HORSES FOR THE WINTER

MARTARA’S SISTER IMPROVES

[By CARBINE.!There were no more popular suc-

cesses during the Easter racing in theNorth Island than those of FrancisDrake in the Auckland Easter Handi-cap and the Great Northern Derby.Francis Drake belongs to Mr FrankArmstrong, of Akltlo, who is recognisedas one of the finest sportsmen in NewZealand. Mr Armstrong has not beenlucky with racehorses m recent years,but he has had some good ones andhas won good races. Among the raceshe has won are the Canter-bury Jockey Club Winter Cup (in

1916 with Cherry Blossom), the GrandNational Hurdle Race On 1913 withMorning), and the Napier Steeplechase(in 1913 with The Spaniard). He bredAdmiral Drake, who ran second in aNew Zealand Cup, and won an Auck-land Cup. Mr Armstrong did not re-main at Ellerslie to see the St. Legerrun. He was at Waipukurau that day,doing his part as a vice-president of theWaipukurau Jockey Club.

Mrs Jamieson, the new owner ofCatalogue and Conveyor, won a raceat Feilding with Catalogue, and with alittle luck would have seen Conveyor

score, too. Catalogue missed the Feud-ing Cup, in which he could not handlethe bad ground,- but on better goingtwo days later he easily won the chiefevent of the afternoon. Catalogue is agood horse, and there is no reason forsupposing that he is yet at the end ofhis tether. Conveyor was unlucky notto win .the hack cup on the secondday. He should win good races.

The complete failure of the two-year-old Ecstatic surprised bettors. This re-verse has checked the ■ tendency toover-rate the filly.

Ethiop and Brigadore are now teamedby F, McHugh at Marton. Ethiop wasaccepted for on the first day at Feild-ing but did not run as he was not quitehimself. Brigadore ran a creditablethird on Monday. He is lookmg

well and it should not be long beforehe strikes form.Juvenile Supremacy

The two-year-olds at Auckland atEaster did not appear to have beenup to the usual class and the high opin-ions Aucklander hold of Hot Brae werenot borne out. The win of RussianBallet shows that of .the youngstersthat were in commission late in tneseason, Defaulter is outstanding. Oneof the marked features of the autumnracing has been the entire absence ofBeau Peres. It will be interesting tosee whether they will train on nextseason. /

Has, Come BightThe success of Francis Drake at

Auckland could not have been unex-pected after his recent showings, andhe had the additional advantage of alenient handicap in the Easter mile.Francis Drake was a good two-year-oldbut the cold that broke on him dur-ing the running of the North IslandChallenge Stakes was the probablecause of his not coming to hand thisseason until so late. Francis Drake hasgreat brilliance, and although he hasnot yet beaten a good horse over ajourney longer.than a mile, there is-no reason why he should not win classhandicaps. His brother Admiral Drakeran second in a New Zealand Cup anda Sydney Cup. and won an AucklandCup, all over two miles.A Class Jumper

Tangled had been in work only sixweeks when he raced at Riverton, buthe had been fed and given occasionalexercise during his summer holiday onhis owner’s farm near Feilding. Im-proved by his run on Saturday be wonIn attractive fashion on Monday.Tangled will remain in S. Barr’s stableat Riccarton until after the Grand Na-tional steeplechase meeting.A Game Filly

J. A. Rowland, owner-trainer ofAspire, had nothing on the Ally whenshe returned a three-figure dividendat Invercargill three cr four monthsago, but he participated in the half-century return made by her at River-ton on Monday. Aspire notched an-other head victory, and it is an indi-cation of her courage that she hasbeen tested in this way in each of thethree races she has won. Aspire is athree-year-pld filly by Weathervanefrom Obligio.Casualties at Awapnnl

Florence Mills, who collapsed sud-denly after leading into the straight atFeilding, was galloped on, and had heroff back tendon stripped from theback of the knee to the fetlock. Sheis responding to treatment, but is insuch a bad way that it Will be neces-sary to spell her. ,

Her stablemate. Quadroon, whohas always been unsound, brokedown a furlong from home mthe Oroua Hack Handicap, whichhe won on Monday, and, thoughhe shows a decided improvement, it*taay be some time before he is ableto race again. Both horses are in L.Wilson’s stable.

Another of the Awapum horses to gowrong at Feilding was Jubilee Song,who ran a fine race in the MakmoHandicap until he went amiss. Hewas in a very bad way when he cooledoff, and is still a cot case, and it maybe some time before he will be ableto resume work.A Youthful Rider

In commenting on 17-year-oldBruceHobbs’s success on Battleship in theGrand National, “Robin Goodfellow(Captain Eric Rickman) wrote that,according to family tradition, he beganriding at the age of four. When hewas six he was winning prizes m theshow ring on jumpers and ponies, andwas 14, and still a scholar at NewburyGrammar School, whenfirst winner, Mr James de RothschildsAmida, at Wolverhampton. .

"To all appearances,” continued thewriter, “Hobbs is a schoolboy still,Qgffgptinlly modest, even to shyness;and, as I saw him immediately afterhis astonishing triumph, by far thecalmest jockey I have ever encount-ered in similar circumstances. He hadhis first ride in the Grand Nationallast year on Flying Minutes, andwould have ridden that horse againtviin year if he had not fallen lame.’

This is possibly thebiggest sale of light name®stock ever held in New Zealand, andMr Donald has made complete arrange-ments to accommodate a large crowd.It will be of interest to see a big num-ber of horses offered under canvas,and last evening Mr Donald said hecould not estimate the number of per-sons who could be accommodated evenin wet weather, but the tent erectedwas the biggest available m Christ-church. The horses will be paradeddirectly from the boxes to the tentsand. outside the buyers, spectators willfind a great interest in this parade o£bloodstock.Next Championship

At a meeting of the Inter-DominionTrotting Council held on Wednesday,it was decided to allot the next cham-pionships to the Northern TasmanianTrotting Association provided tnestate could give at least £7OOO instakes for a four-day meeting. Shouldthat association be unable to complywith the conditions the Western Aus-tralian Trotting Association will beasked to conduct the meetings. Thestakes for all future championships(with the exception of that allocatedto Tasmania) will not be less than£BOOO for a four-day meeting. It wasalso decided to recommend the inclus-ion of a classic race for three-year-olds.Trotting Association

At a meeting of the board of theNew Zealand Trotting Association yes-terday, the West Australian TrottingAssociation wrote advising the follow-ing disqualifications:—J. Hopkins(owner) and A. F. Boag (driver) andthe mare Bessie Donald for twomonths for not trying to win at Glou-cester Park on March 5.

The deaths of the following horseshave been reported:—lndian Child,Long Island, and Salmo Fario.Bad-mannered Racehorses

“That is a very strong letter,” saidMr J. R, McKenzie when a report onthe unruly behaviour of the horseYoung Ardgbur at the Cromwell meet-ing was read at a meeting of the boardof the New Zealand Trotting Associa-tion yesterday. The report statedthe horse was nearly the cause of abad'accident. He] was on the limit,and the five horses behind him hadalmost tojpull up to keep out oftrouble. The horse was seven yearsold, and was unlikely to mend hisways. . The' board decided to ask theowner to show cause why Young Ard-gour should not be placed on theschooling list. A report from thq Wel-lington Trotting Club on the bad be-havioUr of Fenella and Sewana at thestart of their races was also con-sidered. and the owners are to be ad-vised that some improvement will beexpected of these horses when nextthey race.An American Stallion

Sandydale, 2min IJsec. is in keendemand among Canterbury breeders,and- already bookings to him includea number of good producing mares.His list will be restricted to 20 ap-proved mares, as he has to return toSouthland by November. Sandydalewould have raced in New Zealand,but the marks he was assessed on,2min 7sec, 2min 39sec, and 4min 22sec.decided his owners to keep him at thestud.

FRUITGROWERS INCANTERBURY

;ANNUAL MEETING OF

INSECT stings on apples

r “The Government is a little bitsevere in this respect. Quite a numberof apples with a few Insect stingswould sell quite well,” said Mr G. Mot-tram, moving a remit to the Canter-bury provincial, conference of fruit-growers. at the annual meeting of theCanterbury Fruitgrowers’ Associationlast evening that the regulations aboutinsect stings on commercial, grades berelaxed.' ,

jJSiovlng a further remit that theminimum size in cooking apples forfancy, commercial A, and commercial Bgradgs be 180 count, Mr Mottram said[that It was not a sound principle for;the Government to subsidise apples ofthis typo, “The Government is far tooeasy in its regulations for the sizesOf cooking varieties,” he remarked.

A remit that greenRome Beauty andgreen Jonathan apples be classed ascooking apples with a minimum sizeof 163. count was moved by Mr L.Sisson. / .

Af the present time new legislationwas being brought in with a view toimproving the industry as a whole,said the annual report. The associa-tion was fully alive to what was goingon, but would like to see more interesttaken by members. The financial posi-tion of the association could be im-proved, a slight debit balance beingshown on the year’s work. The mem-bership was still being maintained,four . new members having been en-rolled during the year. Demonstra-tions and addresses had been given,and a combined picnic of growerswas held at the Pines. In view of thebigger export season, a packing classwas arranged. Twenty-six membersenrolled, and all made excellent pro-gress under the, able guidance ofMessrs B. G. Goodwin and T. Conway.

The financial statement showed thatthe year began with a credit of £4613s and closed with a credit of £4417s Id.

• ' The following officers were elected:-President, Mr B. T. Turner; vice-pre-sidents, Messrs G. Allington and F. W.Sisson; 'secretary-treasurer, Mr C. H.Pyer; committee, Messrs A. R.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS

INDIANS TO TOUR THIS SEASON

Mr H. S. J. Goodman presided and waselected president of the New ZealandHockey Association for his twenty-fifthsuccessive year at the annual meeting ofdelegates to the association last evening.Reviewing the prospects for the newseason, Mr Goodman said that the asso-ciation was looking forward this year toan important event in the history of thesport in New Zealand, the visit of anotherIndian team.

The Manavadar State Hockey Associa-tion was to send a side that would befully representative of Indian, hockey. Itwould be captained by the ruling princeof the state, his Highness the Nawab ofManavadar, The team would arrive inNew Zealand on June 8 and three testmatches would be played, one in Auck-land, one In Wellington, and one in Can-terbury, in accordance with an Itineraryalready published.

The team would play a test in Christ-church on July 23, Mr Goodman said, andthe association greatly appreciated the

generous action of the Canterbury RugbyFootball Union In deciding not to holdRugby attractions on that date. Relation-ships between the union and the associa-tion were very cprdlal indeed.

The annual report and balance-sheet,a summary of which has already beenpublished, were adopted.

The following officers were elected.—Patron, his Excellency the Governor-General. Lord Galway; president, Mr H.S. J. Goodman: hon. treasurer, Mr P. N.Quartermain; hon. auditor, Mr A. Stewart;management committee, Messrs R. Grade,C. S. Bellamy, G. Strack, H. Throp. C. C.Holland. A. F. Preston, and H. B. Bell.

At a subsequent meeting of the man-agement committee Mr Goodman was ap-pointed chairman of the committee andMr W. H. Down was re-elected secretaryof the association.

Mr Down Informed the meeting of nego-tiations for the affiliation of the associa-tion to an international body. It wasfound that for New Zealand to be eligibleto compete at the Olympic Games affilia-tion was necessary with the InternationalHockey Federation, a ' body with 1 head-quartets ta Paris. Attention was drawnalso to the failure of many centres to con-tribute their portion to the Olympic fundfor sending a team to the Olympic Games.It was decided to circularise the centresasking them for their contributions.

The meeting decided to suggest to theOtago centre that a South Island second-ary schools’ tournamentbe held In Dun-edin.

SEDDON’S HOME

OLD HOUSE DEMOLISHEDm ST. HELENS

USED AS A CORN MILL FORMANY YEARS

(non on own oomuapoaranr.)

> LONDON, April S.The demolition of a group of dilapi-

dated houses in one of the oldestpartsof the Lancashire town of St. Helenawould not appear, to have much in-terest to New Zealand, hut the namepremier Mills which it Baa borne sinceit- was converted years ago lor useas a com mill, provides a clue to Itsassociation, ■ with one of the, greatestfigures in the Dominion's history.

One of .the houses. No. .3 Edwardstreet, was once* the .home of-the St.Helens engineer’s apprentice who be-come Premier of New Zealand, Rich*ard John Seddon. He was,bom in anoM-fashlored, two-storey stohg cottagestanding near the top of EcclestonHiuon the outskirts of. the town; Laterhe and his family moved to theJaousein Edward sheet, y/hisre he. spent tomeyears of his life, and where his motherdied. He lived tbere until his depar-lure for Australia. When he revisitedSt. Helens in 1887,: <SWdqtt: filtered■his birthplace atiEccleston Hill andalso called at the house ‘in . Edwardstreet, only to find It had ;been con-verted into a corn mill, together withother houses in the block, Aortly- afterhis departure for overseas.

The downstairs rooms of No. 3 hadbeen altered almost beyond recog-nition, but many of the upstairs roomsretained their original appearance.Old-fashioned firegrates and 80-year-,old wallpaper have remained until thepresent day.

. ,

Although few people m St., Helensknew of Seddon’s association;with, cehouse, visitors were sometimes showna .tiny room at the back of the -tipperstorey where, it was said, 1* the rut:tirePrefcxier of New Zealand had sleptwhen he lived there. The lUtJe.iylndowlooked but over a jumbled, disorderlymass of housetops, tottering chimneys,and tiny backyards.*-Through, a holeimnrifMi in the wall after the,housebecame a mill, ran the huge drivingbelt to one of the machines, and thebedroom was filled with gram to adepth of three or four feet. The housewas in the centre of what was oncea busy watchmaking area. One of the,-upstairs back rooms of the bouse nextto the Seddoruji ' was apparently

.

awatchmaker’s shop, for a broad win-dow- runs the length of tltogive the watchmaker plenty of lightwhen using his delicate Instruments.There are similar window fa a uwn-ber of the houses fa the Edward streetdistrict. ' ■' ... V

Now the house has vanished underthe demolishedpick. In its place wube erected a new and more up-to-date mill, which will be one of thelandmarks of St Helw.vßut. it willstill bear the name of theHills,” thus serving to remind thepeope of St. Helens of its historic con-nexions.

A NATURAL STAR

Sonja Henie Does More ThanSkate in “Happy Landing”

Fired in early childhood by the talesof Hans Christian Andersen, lamedNorse writer, Sonja Henie, the skatingstar of “Happy Landing,” now at theMayfair, was wont to dress up in ela-borate gowns and re-enact scenes fromstories of. her favourite princesses.

This trait, her friends say, startedher on a dancing career—which shelater applied to her amazing skill onskates. It is in “Happy Landing.” anew musical film of spectacular splen-dour, that her dancing grace on skatesreaches perfection. ;

It is her innate imagination whichgives her the dramatic touch that al-

- ready has established her as a thrill-ing actress, even, when she discardsher Mercurian ice shoes for the foot?wear of ordinary ,mortals. Now she isstarred again with Don Ameche, het“One in a Million” sweetheart

Sonjh Henie denies-having any.tech-'■ nique or theories about acting

“I believe the whole thing,” she said."That makes it easier for me to act ■

“When I study the script lor a pic-ture, I imagine it all as really hap-pening to me. Then, when I get onthe set, the people I jvork with arenot just actors. I think of them onlyas the characters in the story.

“I never was trained as an actress,so I use this method of doing the bestjob I possibly can.”

Both Roy Cel Ruth, who directedSonja in “Happy Landing,” and Sid-ney Lanfield, who directed her in herfirst two films, declare that she has anatural 1 t>ent lor adting, particularlyin light coniedy. She has.bad no for-

. mal training nor experience in acting,but she has the priceless gilt of poiseand graceful carriage which again isthe. result of training in dancing andskating.'. ■■ ■* Jean Ethel Merman, andCesar Romero are featured in the castat “Happy. Landing.”

Simone Simon is starred In a singing’ role in “Love and Hisses,”which is coming to the Mayfair.

STORY BY REX BEACH

Timber Country Romance In“The Barrier”

Jean Parker, the young star whomade a hit some time ago in “Sequoia,”a picture of the woods, has been castagain in an outdoor part for “The Bar-rier,” Paramount’s adaptation of theRex Beach novel, which is coming tothe Avon.

Jean Parker is seen as Necia, thedaughter of an American trader andhis Indian wife, who run a post inFlambeau. Alaska, during the -goldrush. Playing opposite her in the film

The picture was directed by Les Se-lander and produced by Harry Sher-man,

James Ellison worked in the labora-tories of a major studio before he hada chance to act before the cameras.He trained on the stage on the WestCoast, and made his mark in thescreen ranks with his portrayals ofJohnny Nelson in the Hopalong Cas-sidy pictures. He is one of the mostpopular outdoor stars in the country.

Leo Carrillo is one of the most popu-lar citizens in California. Known in pri-vate life as a humanitarian, he isfamous professionally for successfulwork in movies, on the stage, and onthe radio. He has played every kindof part, doing character “heavies" andcomic parts with equal ease.

Otto Kruger takes on a new kind ofpart in “The Barrier.” He is cast asa villain, in an action picture. This isa departure because he has been as-sociated in the past with a more so-phisticated type of vehjgle. He playedthe leading part in “Springtime forHenry” on both stage and screen, andthe leading part in “Private Lives”on the New York staged He brings anew polish to outdoor villainy in “TheBarrier.”

AN AUSTRALIAN STAR

Cecil Kellaway inDoing It”

“Everybody’s Doing It.” with astory based on a nation-wide advertis-ing contest that develops surprisingfeatures when racketeers get hold ofit, has the Australian star, Cecil Kella-way, with Preston Foster and SallyEllers teamed in the starring roles.“Everybody's Doing It” begins to-dayat the Crystal Palace.

In Australia. Kellaway has playedparts similar to those which EdwardEverett Horton plays in Hollywood. In“Everybody's Doing It” be is cast asa hard-boiled American businessman,and manages to discard a pronouncedBritish accent while in front of thecamera.

those attractive,paintings that decor-ate advertising » pages in to-day’smagazines.

The biggest attraction on the pro-gramme is likely to be the film record;“shot” from the ringside, of the 10-round fight between Tommy Farr andJames Braddock. -It gives a. betterview of the encounter than probablymost of the spectators had at the time.

A particularly pleasing feature of thenew Jack Hulbert film,. ‘Paradise ForTWo." Is the brightness and originalityof the musical numbers. The first oneis called after the film, “In a ParadiseFor Two.” and is the catchy; themenumber, sung by Patricia . Ellis andJack Hulbert Tnen' there is "Kiss MeGood-night,” sung by-Patricia Ellisandthe chorus of 60 beautiful girls who ap-pear ,in one of the big stage scenes.“When You Hear Music” is danced andsung by Patricia Ellis and Jack Hul-bert together, while “March in Spring-time” is the number to which the en-tire stage company dances.

Preston Foster and Sally Eilers playa pair of commercial artists for a bigbreakfast-food company. Between themthey evolve the idea of a huge puzzlecontest. But complications arise whentwo racketeers get different ideas ofcrashing in on the contest, and the re-sults make for an exciting plot fea-tured by kidnapping and an ingenious'scheme to turn the tables on the crooks.

The talented supporting . cast in“Everybody's Doing It” includes Lor-raine Krueger as a cafe- entertainer,who is Miss Ellers’ rival for Foster’saffections, Richard Lane and GuinnWilliams as racketeers, Cecil Kellawayas the breakfast-food king, and Wil-liam Brisbane, Arthur Lake, SollyWard, Frank M. Thomas, and HerbertEvans in prominent roles.

Among the settings are the advertis-ing office, a Bohemian cafe, and SallyEilers’s apartment, as well as the twodifferent retreats used by the crooks.The advertising office sequences givean interesting glimpse of modern com-mercial art work and the making of

Margaret Lockwood, who charmedpeople in "Doctor Syn,” will shortly beseen again to advantage in "Melodyand Romance,” a G.B.D. musical, withJane Carr, Garry Marsh, Alestair Sim,and C. Denier Warren. The critics de-scribe it as “entertainment thatIs noveland truly delightful."

SAFETY ON THEROADS

"INSPECT YOUR TYRES

REGULARLY"

DANGER IN SMOOTHSURFACES

MESSAGE FROM AUTOMOBILE

ASSOCIATION

"You have probably given your cara large amount of travel during thesummer, and apart from other parts,it is a good plan to have a look atthose tyres," says the latest safety mes-sage of the Automobile Association(Canterbury).

"Even if your tyres are still welltreaded you may find careful inspec-tion worth while. You may discoverflints and pieces of glass which youcan remove. Though small, suchflints may gradually work into the tyreand eventually cause trouble when itis least expected. As a matter of fact,regular tyre surface inspection is anessential to proper care. It is obviousthat damaging flints when first pickedup may be readily seen and extracted,but it is a different story after theflints have disappeared from view.

"But the chief purpose of this re-minder deals with the question of safetyre surface. The winter season isnot far ahead, and in that season wemay expect wet, greasy, frosty roads,so that properly treaded tyres are animportant consideration.

"Have a look at your tyres. Arethey safe? Are they good enough toperform their important job of pro-viding, when braked, that vital fric-tion imperative to make skidding andside-slip less likely, and to make asafe stop possible?

"Remember that all your tyresshould be able to withstand friction,and that it is bad judgment to havesmooth tyres on the front wheels.Many drivers overlook the importanceof ensuring safe steering and think,that as long as the better pair of tyresis at the rear anything will do forthe front wheels. On wet. greasyroads, particularly at corners, the gripand friction of the steering frontwheels should be a paramount concernof every driver. I"On many vehicles, chiefly of theheavier type, many front tyres worndown to the breaker strip have beennoted. On dry roads, provided thespeed is very moderate, such tyres nodoubt serve their purpose, but roadsare not always dry, and speed is notalways what it should be. Badly worntyres, therefore, are not the safe tyresfor all weathers and all emergencies."

A NEW ROYALENFIELD

THE 1938 MODEL B

POPULAR UTILITY'

MOTOR-CYCLE

An interesting machine among the1938 model motor-cycles now inChristchurch, is the model B RoyalEnfield, a type of utility machine withfeatures assuring it of wide popularity.

Equipped with a 248 c.c, singlecylinder side-valve engine, this RoyalEnfield travels 100 miles to a gallonof petrol, between 1500 and 2000 milesto a gallon of oil, and has a maximumspeed of about 50 miles an hour. Thecapacity o£ the petrol tank is 22 gal-lons, and of the oil tank three pints.

A cush drive is incorporated in therear hub, so that both driving and re-bound shocks are taken by blocks ofsolid rubber which effectively absorball chain snatch and harshness.Another feature is the special detach-able rear mudguard. By merely loosen-ing four nuts, the entire rear guardcan be quickly removed.

The valves are totally enclosed, andthe cylinder head is detachable. Thecarburettor is of the Amal needle typeand twist grip control is fitted. Thefront forks are pressed blades of hightensile steel with central compressionspring, and a four-speed gearbox withpositive foot change is Used. The gearratios are 6.6, 8.9, 11.8, and 19.2 to 1.

Ignition and lighting are by a Lucassix-volt dynamo set with automaticvoltage control, the dynamo beinggear-driven from the engine. Thebrakes are internal expanding.

The overall length of this newRoyal Enfield is 6ft llin, the width29in, the ground clearance sJin, andthe weight 2551b.

Finished in black enamel withbrightparts chromium plated, the Enfield isa handsome machine to look at andgives an outstanding performance inany road conditions.

OWNERSHIP OF CARS

DOMINION’S HIGH RATIO TOPOPULATION

A claim recently made that the stateof New South Wales had the fourthhighest automobile ownership rate inthe world is not substantiated by thelatest available registration statistics.Including the Canberra registrations,New South Wales had, at December,1937, approximately 302,950 cars, com-mercial motor-vehicles ■ and motor-cycles. and its population, includingthe Federal capital (at December 30,1937) was 2,710,661. The ratio of auto-mobiles to population was thus one to8.94 people. This ratio is considerablybettered, says the Dunlop Bulletin, inseveral of the Commonwealth statesand New Zealand.

The Dominion has the best figures—--260,823 automobiles, population1,587,211; ratio one to 6.08 people. SouthAustralia comes next with 88,631 units,population 589,566; ratio one to 6.65people, then follows Western Austra-lia—62,3B2 automobiles, population456,023; ratio one to 7.31 people; Vic-toria—242,224 units, population1,856,939; ratio one to 7.66 people.Queensland—lls,922 units, population994,235; ratio one to 8.57 people, andTasmania—23,634 units, population233,390; ratio one to 9.87 people.

The approximate ratios of automo-biles (including motor-cycles) to popu-lation in the leading motorised coun-tries are as follows:—United States,one to 4.34; New Zealand,’ one to 6.08;Canada, one to 7.96; Australia, one to8.18; Czechoslovakia, one to 10.23;France, one to 14.6; Great Britain, oneto 16.07; South Africa, one to 23.07; Ger-many, one to 23.83; Belgium, one to28.7; Argentina, one to 44.25, and Italy,one to 70.5.

UPPER CYLINDERLUBRICATION

Automotive engineers are agreedthat in modern engines the lubrica-tion of the upper portions of cylinders,at starting and low speeds Is insuffi-cient. Many methods have been at-tempted to provide for the lubricationof cylinders, but the one methodcarrying the approval of car manufac-turers is the use of Kollag ColloidalGraphite. Kollag is now obtainablefor easy addition to petrol under thetrade name “Tefoll.” When Tefoll isadded to petrol it reaches your engineas a vapour—coats upper cylinder,walls, piston rings, and valve stemswith a protecting tenacious, slipperyKollag film. This smoothes and quietsyour engine, protects it from internalrust caused by condensation, and re-duces friction, and consequently wearby up to 32 per cent. Give your carthis needed extra protection. Whenyou buy petrol ask the attendant toadd Tefoll. —1

The value Germany places on theprestige gained by international motor-car race victories is exemplified by therecent announcement by Herr Hitlerthat an honour to be known as the“German Motor Emblejn”. is to beawarded to outstanding drivers of Ger-man racing machines. This is the firstoccasion that such an award has beennationally scheduled for presentationto distinguished motor racing men. InEngland, two honpurs have been con-ferred on outstanding British drivers,the late Sir Henry Segrave and SirMalcolm Campbell being the recipi-ents. These famous drivers each wonfor Great Britain the world’s landspeed record.

The new tunnel to be built underthe Straits of Messina, which is oneof the Italian Government’s latest“road” improvements, will be over sixand a quarter miles long, two and ahalf miles being under the sea.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

AT SHIRLEY

SECOND ROUND MATCHESPOSTPONED

HEAVY BAIN AND MUDDY

COURSE

On a rain-soaked course and in a

continuous downpour, the first roundot match play for the Canterburywomen’s orovincial golf title wasplayed at Shirley yesterday. The firstround of the Shirley trophy was playedat the same time, as were two bogeyhandicaps. The standard of play inthe main events was not good, but inthe senior bogey event Miss J. Betts,of Nelson, showed a return to her bestform by going round in 81, giving herthe winning card of 7 down from ahandicap of two.

The second round of the champion-ship and of the Shirley trophy, whichwere to have been held yesterdayafternoon, were postponed until thismorning, and they will be held regard-less of the weather as the tournamentmust be completed on Saturday morn-ing. A fourball bogey match set downfor yesterday afternoon was cancelled.

Miss V. Fleming, who easily headedthe qualifiers for the championship,by no means had things all her ownway in the game against her old rival,Miss B. Rutherford. Playing theeighth. Miss Fleming was still downafter a poor start, but she improvedover the final half, and won the matchon the Pagoda green.

The match between Miss H. Buch-anan and Miss J. Stevenson, the twoyoungest players left in the champion-ship. was not as close as was antici-pated, and Miss Buchanan_ had herrevenge for former losses in a con-vincing manner. Miss Buchananreached the turn in 43 to be two up,and was one over fours for the inwardhalf when the game finished on thefourteenth green.

Miss E. White-Parsons did well totake Miss J. Horwell to the nineteenth,although here again the golf was of apoor standard. Miss White-Parsons al-ternated good holes with some verypoor ones, and could not get the fivenecessary to halve the extra one. MissHorwell was not playing as well ascould be expected even in the badweather.

Mrs A. C. McKillop kept with MrsD. Crombie, of Wellington, for theearly part of their match, but shewas not so happy in the wet conditionsas the Wellington player, and the lattergradually drew away. In the semi-finals this morning, Mrs Crombie willplay Miss Horwell and Miss Flemingwill play Miss Buchanan.

Results of games yesterday were: -

INSPECTION OF DESOLATEDAREA

(PBSH ASSOCIATION TSLIOSAMJ

NELSON, April 21.Mr H. Atmore, M.P., who accom-

panied a Public Works 'engineer mak-ing an inspection of the area ruinedby the landslide on Thursday on anarrow strip of country running acrossAdmiralty Bay into Pelorus Sound,says that previous reports, far fromexaggerating the extent of the dam-age, if anything underestimated it, andit is obvious that Government assist-ance will be needed if the homesaffected are to be replaced so that thesettlers may be restored to their for-mer productive capacity.

Mr Atmore said that if the cloud-burst had fallen late at night insteadof early in the evening, the inmatescould not' possibly have escaped withtheir lives.

SAFETY ON LEWIS PASSROAD

With public transport vehicles nowrunning on the Lewis Pass road fromHanmer Springs to Reefton, membersof the Automobile Association, Can-terbury, are more convinced than everthat safety demands the placing' of atelephone line along the road, to beused in case of accident and emerg-ency.

On the motion of Mr F. W. Freemanthe council of the association at itsmeeting last night decided to add toits former requests for the installa-tion of the telephone a more graphicone—the sending to the Minister forTransport, the Hon. R. Semple, of aphotograph of a passenger vehiclewhich had come to grief.

Members also decided to ask thePost and Telegraph Department toreconsider its previous reply that atelephone line could not at present beprovided.

Some members said that the weatherof the last few weeks, with its ac-companying slips, was a sound rein-forcement for the argument that atelephone was necessary on a roadcarrying so much traffic. Mr Free-man said that no main road could beconsidered completed unless there wastelephonic connexion possible fromit. He thought that Mr Semple, inthe knowledge that licensed passen-ger vehicles were now on the road,should be approached for his view.
