SOCIETY WEDDINGKISSLING—KUSSELL

BRIDE'S HEIRLOOM VEIL

GOWN OF PARCHMENT SATINInterest throughout New Zealand at-

tended the wedding, which took placeat St. Mary's Cathedral yesterdayafternoon, of Miss Margaret AnneSophia Russell (Meg), youngest daugh-ter of Mrs. and the late Mr. ThomasRussell, of Dirleton, .Judge Street,Parnell, and Mr". Kenneth MoxonKissling, second son of Mr. and Mrs.Charles Kissling, Higliwic Avenue,Epsom. The ceremony was performedby the Yen. Archdeacon G. Macmurray,assisted by the Very Rev. Dean W.Fancourt. The organ music was playedby Dr. W. E. S. Thomas.

The bride, who was given away byher brother, Mr. Norman E. Russell, ofWarkworth, wore a lovely frock ol:heavy parchment satin cut on longslim-fitting lines, with an oval trainfashioned into fclie graceful skirt. Thebodice was* shirred into a narrowstraight panel down the front andbuttoned to the waistline at the backwith tiny satin-covered buttons. But-

I tons also ornamented the long, tight-! fitting sleeves from the wrist to the! elbow, and two narrow pencil girdles,I which encircled the waistline, wereknotted in front, the ends falling to thehem of the frock. A beautiful Honitonlace veil, which had been worn by thebride's grandmother, mother, and othermembers of the family at their wed-dings, was worn by the bride, themellow tints of the veil harmonisingperfectly with the satin frock. It fellfrom a top-knot of orange blossom andwas worn over the face as the brideentered the Cathedral. She carried a

i sheaf of cream hyacinths and winter; roses.

Six Small AttendantsIn attendance were six little girls,

1 Berys Tuke and Ann Morris, nieces ofi*the bride, Diana Lintott, her cousin,Mary Roche, Anne Purchas and Bar-bara Kissling. They made an attractivepicture in frocks of parchment chiffonover taffetas with rows of gauging onthe bodices, each row being definedwith a narrow piping of parchmentsatin. Tiny puff sleeves, square neck-lines and long skirts lent a quaint Vic-torian effect, to which a touch ofcolour was given by tlio cherry velvetbow and streamers of narrow velvetribbon at the back of each, waistline.The children wore wreaths of redlachanalia in their hair, and as theywalked into the Cathedral in two rowsof three, they carried between them arope-of red lachanalia and anemones.

The bridegroom was attended by hisbrother, Mr. Godfrey Kissling, as bestman, and the ushers at the Cathedralwere Mr. Hugh Kissling, Mr. TrevorKissling, Mr. Nigol Morris and Mr.Fred Lintott.

Following the ceremony, a receptionwas held at Dirleton, the home of thebride's mother. Mrs. Russell receivedher guests wearing a frock of wedgwoodblue crejw, with a quilted voke anddraped sash, a wide-brimmed mack felt-hat trimmed with ostrich feathers, anda skunk stole. She carried a bouquetof crimson cyclamen. Mrs. Kissling,mother of the ..bridegroom, was in a navygeorgette frock with a matching three-quarter-length coat, ■ and a wide-brimmed navy straw hat. trimmed witha blue ribbon bow and blue flowers.

FAMOUS COLLECTIONACT WOJtTH £500,000

INFLUENCE IN SCHOOLS

RUTHERSTON LOAN SCHEME

With the same keen, practical inter-est that characterised the activities ofher husband Muring his lifetime as anart collector of ltnote, Mrs. CharlesRutherston, who arrived yesterday bythe Wanganella from Sydney, discussedthe efforts made by him to encouragean appreciation of art.

Mrs. Rutherston said it was for thispurpose that the Rutherston loanscheme had been' founded by her andher husband when they presented tothe Manchester Art Galleries in 1925the famous collection of modern paint-ings. This collection, begun as a wed-diiig present to Mrs-'. Rutherston fromher husband, increased from 700 pic-tures to 1MDI) in 10 years.

"The idea of loan exhibitions was afavourite scheme of my husband's,"Mrs. Rutherston' said. "He sought toplace art and beauty within reach ofeveryone, with particular regard totheir influence in secondary schools andschools of art."

Mrs. Rutherston herself has carriedon the collection since her husband'sdeath, and last year Mr. E. C. Gregory,of Bradford, lent 37 pictures for twoyears. The collection is housed in Man-chester, where the local authoritiesspent £'sooo on turning an old Georgianhouse into an art gallery for the col-lection alone. A curator and a largestaff were employed to arrange exhibi-tions and exchanges at secondary andart schools.

fln one term there were as many as

37 separate loans, she continued, andin the 11 years since its inaugurationthere had been a steady exchange ofexhibitions. It was considered advis-able that the loans should be for alimited period, so that frequent changes

could be effected. The value of thecollection was estimated at £500,000.

Mrs. Rutherston last visited Austra-lia when she was five years old. Shetravelled from England with her father,Captain Elmslie, wTio commanded theSabraoil. one of the most famous ofthe wool-clippers that»sailed betweenEngland and Australia, and in whichthe Governor-General and the StateGovernors "always travelled.

EUROPEAN TOUR

CONTRASTS IN COUNTRIES

A 6000-mile tour by motor-car inEurope was undertaken by Airs. E. AI.Penn, of New Plymouth, who returnedto the Dominion yesterday by theWanganclla via Australia.

"Nearly all Europe was seethingwitli soldii'rs and war rumours," shesaid. She described Holland as probablythe least truculent country, and one ofthose well-prepared for emergencies,

"There seemed to be far more Nazisin Austria than in Germany, and cer-tainly much more Na/.i propoganda,"she continued. "Germanv itself is al-most too efficient, and lias become a,very wearing place to live in, Italyseemed quiet anil happy by contrast,and* much less militaristic.-

"The only country where we hadtrouble with passports was Czechoslo-vakia, where the frontiers tire closelyguarded by soldiers. It seems, however,that only New Jiealanders and Cana-dians can get across the border with-out a great deal of bother. Alter men-tioning New Zealand and showing it onthe map, Ave were allowed to pass.People with cameras are also notpopular there."

series of functions to be held by theold pupils of the school to mark thojubilee. The ball was an outstandingsuccess.

Loops of coloured miniature lightsintermingled with green foliage, whichlighted up the porch brilliantly, intro-duced one to the lovely scene in thestately assembly hall where dancingtook place. Further loops of colouredlights were suspended over the ceiling

in beds of green foliage, and the samelooped effect wa.v sustained round thewalls. The platform, on which the or-

chestra was stationed, had its balus-trades covered in a network of green

foliage, through which laTge blue andwhite paper flowers flaunted their

Iheads. and miniature cut-out- replicasof the golden Grammar lion and blueand gold streamers appropriately com-pleted the picture. The decoration ofthe platform was tho work of Mrs.Alan Wallace, Mrs. Peter Edmonds andMiss Joyce Gouk.

CANTERBURY LOSES CHANCESThe Newton club team defeated the

visiting Canterbury Rugby League rep-resentatives bv 22 points to 12 in areturn game played at Carlaw Parkyesterday afternoon. The visitors hadnumerous opportunities, but lack offinish and knowledge of the finer pointsof the game spoiled many prominentmovements. The Newton backs wer j

superior find, with a liberal share olthe ball from the scrums, the rear divi-sion made the most of their chances.'

Banham, tho Auckland player-coach, wasju prood form and scored Ihree fine tries.W. Brimble played a splendid game at half-back and received excellent support from E.Brimble, whose speed was most effective onattack.

Tho best Canterbury backs were Brown,behind the scrum lind Whitley, at five-eighths. Brown impressed just as much as hedid in the Auckland match, although hewas inclined to hold on too long. Whitleyis a player of promise. Price, Barnard andGrimes n;erc the bes! of tho forwards. Neartho end of tho game the tempers of theforwards became frayed, and the referee hadto stop play and is>ue a warning to twoplayers on each side

Tho Canterbury backs were prominent earlyIn the game and Beri made a fine run lie-fore passing to Guy and Rope raced wellinto Newton territory. Canterbury's forwardsrushed play to the Newton line, where W.Brimble started a passing bout and, after"W. McKcnzie raced to half-way, D. Mc-Kenzie passed on to Banham, who outpacedthe opposition to score a good try.

Dempsey was proininrnt in a good runend, with Ginders carried play bark to mid-field. From a penalty Guy opened the visi-tors' score with a nice kick. Banham wasalways the pivot of the Newton attack, andhj» scored another nice try. E. and W.Brimble were associated in a nice passingbout, but L. Brown stopped Banham as themovement became dangerous. Price headeda dangerous Canterbury forward attack, butthere was no finish to the movement. A fewminutes later W McKcnzie beat the visi-tors' backs and scored for Banham to con-vert. From a passing bout E. Brimble cutin, but .his pass to Junes was forward, andNewton missed a try. Several times tho visi-tors' backs cot chances, but Brown was in-clined to' hold on. Half-time came with thescore:—Newton, 11; Canterbury, 2.

Soon after the kick-off Barnard and Aireyheaded the Canterbury forwards, but thoformer passed wildly when Brown may havescored. Canterbury, however, nas rewardedb minute later when Clark snapped up inthe loose and scored for Davison to convert.

Tho visitors' forwards played with moredash,in the loose,, but Newton continued toget the ball from the scrums. Good play by-Rope placed Canterbury in a good position,but the Newton barks had too much speed,and from a good. passing bout W. McKcnziescored. Then Brown beat half the Newtonteam, but had little support to his good play.Canterbury was unlucky not to score_ when"Whitley made a good run well into Newtonterritory. Davison added a penalty goal tothe visitors' score and a few minutes laterNathan scored near the poets, and W.Brimble converted. The Newton backs hadtoo much combination and from a passinghout D. McKcnzie raced 40yds and passedto Banham, who scored his third try. Bar-nard made a determined, effort to score, butlost the ball, and Brown snapped up andpassed to Price, who touched down. Thecame ended with the score:—Newton, 22;Canterbury, 12

CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

j SYDNEY TEAM'S REQUEST

CHALLENGE FOR BANNERThe prospect of three teams being

equal in the lead for the AucklandRugby League's senior championshipafter Saturday's matches nas men-tioned by the chairman, Mr. G. GreyCampbell, at last evening's meeting ofthe board of control. This positionwould arise-if Newton defeated Maristand Mount Albert was successful, anda play-off between these three teams.would then be necessary. The RoopeRooster knock-out competition wouldhave to be started,. and he suggestedshat" the board meet at Carlaw Parkto consider the position after Satur-day's results were known. As Huntlywas to" be admitted to the RoopeRooster competition, there would notbe any byes. The chairman's suggestion.was "agreed to.

An application from the Balmain Club,Sydney, regarding a proposed visft- to Auck-land-was deferred pending receipt of cabledinformation from Mr. H. R. Miller, secre-tary of'the Xew South Wales League, as tothe prospects of the leading Sydney teamTisijting Auckland this season.

The registration of J. King, for Papakura.was granted, also the reinstatement of J.Greenwood, for Richmond, who had left thatclub to play with' Xorth Shore Rugby, UnionClub. R;. Jones was granted , a transfer andregraded -from Ponsoriby senior to Otahuhusenior B grade. , -

Permission waH granted the AucklandBchools' management committee to send arepresentative team to Whangarei for a chal-lenge match with the Xorthland League forthe Golden Bloom banner. The date of theKorthland v. South Auckland schoolboys' rep-resentative match was fixed for September 3,instead' of August '2O.

Richmond was declared winner of the thirdgrade competition.

A resolution of sympathy with the rela-tives of the late Mr. G. J. Wynyard. whosesons were. prominently associated with theearly days of the League code in Xew Zea-land, was carried. A similar expression ofsympathy was also passed with the relativesof the late Mr. J. Arneil.

Mr. R. A. Drur.v, treasurer of the Can-terbury League, attended to express apprecia-tion of the assistance and hospitality ex-tended to the visiting Canterbury team. Themanagement and standard of the code inAuckland had been a revelation and the les-eons learned shadowed improvement and ex-pansion of the game ir, Christchurch. Henrged the value of a regular interchange ofvisits with Auckland teams in the interestsof the code.

The chairman said the Auckland Leaguewould do all it could to accede to the requestfor regular visits, but the difficulty was thevery full programme of local club matches,However, tJ»e matter would be favourably con-sidered next season.

A request from the Wairoa Maoris,Hawke's Bay. for assistance in sending teamsto pioneer the code in that district was de-ferred pending inquiries as (o transport costs.

INDIANS' SUCCESS

EASY WIN AT WHANGAREI

[by telegraph—own correspondent]WHAXGAREI, Wednesday

The touring Indian hockey team defeatedWhajigarei to-day by II goals to nil. Theground, which yesterday was in splendidorder, suffered as a result of ram last nightand was slippery and heavy. Although theWhangarei forwards were on numerous occa-sions on the attack all the movements brok<;down before the ball reached the Indianscirclo. Only on one occasion had the visit-ing goalkeeper to use his stick.

The first goal came when just outsidethe circle the Indians were awarded a free hitand Challenger, the Whangarei goalkeeper,made a nice save ' but he v.as penalised fora knock-on, mid Gurnarain Singh shot intothe net. There was a good period before thenext score, and then Fernandez made a finerun up the field to goal. It was not longbefore Fernandez again goaled when hosecured the ball from the rebound off thepads of the Whangarei goalkeeper. The nextgoal came from a penalty corner, and an-other point was registered when Shahabuddindribbled the ball up the field and shot suc-cessfully. A shot by Fernandez from a penaltycomer went wide, but he came in again anda flick shot from within the circle succeeded.Ju«t before half-time Sulaiman scored again,making the score:—India, 7; Whangiirci, 0.

The first goal in the second spell wasscored bv Fernandez after a roll-in from Wha-ncarer's' twenty-five. Then the hall wentdiagonally across the field into the localteam's circle and Fernandez was able to flickhis shot nicely into the net. From a penaltycorner Ahmad Khan was next to score, andhe also was the scorer of the last goal ofthe match. The filial score was: —India, 11;Whangarei, o •

•,

The mastery of the ball by the visitorswas the greatest factor in their win. Thcrpositional play was also greatly superior. Ihoumpires wrrfl* Professor Jagan isath and Mr.G. A. McKoy.

y cant I Sleep ?■THERE is no reason why you should not enjoy a good night's

sleep—every night. Like countless thousands of others, youcan make sure of sound sleep by drinking a cupful of delicious'Ovaltine' just before you go to bed. Experience has conclusivelyproved that 'Ovaltine' is the World's Best Night-cap.There is nothing like 'Ovaltine' for quickly promoting sound, peaceful sleep.And, moreover this sleep is natural and restorative to the fullest extent,for 'Ovaltine* is free from drugs. You awake in the morning revitalised inmind and body. This is because 'Ovaltine' contains all those importantnutritive elements which crfcate abundant energy and vitality while you sleep,and build up body, brain and nerves for the coming day.

Remember that the constituents of 'Ovaltine* are malt plus milk plus eggs.The exclusive scientific processes by which these ingredients are combinedcannot be copied. Eggs are .of particular importance because of their rich-ness in nerve-restoring properties, without which no tonic food beveragewould be complete.

Unlike imitations 'Ovaltine' does not contain any cheap ingredient such ashousehold sugar to give it bulk and reduce manufacturing costs. Rememberalso that 'Ovaltine' is packed in tins containing 4s, 9 and 18 ounces—comparethese weights with imitations! 'Ovaltine' gives you more in quantity morein quality—therefore more in value. It is the most economical food beveragein use. As many as 24 cupfuls can be made from the small size tin.

For all these reasons, make 'Ovaltine' your regular "good-night" beverage.It will give you the deep, natural, restorative sleep from which you awakegloriously invigorated and more than ready for the work of the day. Butbe sure it is 'Ovaltine* it stands in a class by itself.

RADIO IN THE HOMEPROGRAMME FEATURES

FIFTH CRICKET TEST

NEW BROADCASTING CENTRE

BY ALL-WAVEFrom the studio of 3YA at 8.22 to-

morrow evening, Lalla and Allwyn Keysare to broadcast a recital 011 twopianos of compositions by E. Bach,Saint Saens and J. S. Bach. Mrs.Guy Cotterill is to give a talk at 9.5011 "Bound the Islands," descriptiveof a visit to the tropics. Tho openingceremony in connection with tho Well-ington Competitions Society's 1938 fes-tival is to be relayed for the first hourof Saturday's evening session from2YA, while, as an alternative, theChristchurch transmitter will offer "OldMatches Revived," recalling the his-toric boxing match between Fitzsim-mons and Jeffries. In its after-churchsession on Sunday 3YA features apiano recital by Noel Newson, and theDunedin station a musical presenta-tion of Gounod's "Faust." A furtherrelay of the Wellington CompctitiousSociety's festival will take place over2YA at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, when3YA will offer a serins of readings,with music, by IVIr. 0. L. Simmance.

An unusual broadcast, "VanityFair, a Discussion About a Discovery,"is to be given over IYA at 8 p.m.to-morrow by Myra Kemhle and E. J.Ivea.ting, Margherita Zelanda, colora-tura soprano, will give a recital onthe same programme, which will in-clude, at 9.46, by Kathleen O'Leary andMarjorie Gully, Schumann's Andanteand Variations for Two Pianos. Almostall of Saturday's concert session is toconsist of studio items, the artists in-cluding Evelyn Gordon, contralto, lanBurry, tenor, Archie Mac, Scottishstory-teller, Ossie Chessman, piano-accordeon, and the ever-popular Eu-terpe Trio. On Sunday the station willrelay a concert by the Auckland Muni-cipal Band, and, at 9.0 p.m., willbroadcast a studio recital by Margher-ita _ Zelanda. Wednesday's chambermusic hour will include songs by AlfredJeffrey, baritone, and an item by NancyEstall and Eva Estall, 'Cello Sonata inF Major, Opus 6, by Richard Strauss.

Radio plays continue to occupy onlya very minor portion of the time 011the air of the National BroadcastingService stations, in spite of the listenerpreference for such broadcasts. It is,of course, quite true that dramatisedversions in serial form of well-knownhooks are now broadcast, but these arenot regarded by listeners as beingplays, and, moreover, such featuressuffer through being serials. It is re-grettable that in some cases those havebeen regarded as replacing, in wholeor part, the once "straight" plays, fartoo few of which greet the listener.Tin's week only three plays are promi-nently featured for the four mainstations, Tchekoff's "The Proposal"from 3YA at eight o'clock this evening,"Paul Bevere's Bide" from IYA at8.30 011 Monday, and "A WomanCalled Ruth" from 3YA on Thursdaynext at 8.7 p.m.

.Arrangements for the rebroadcast ofball-by-ball descriptions and commen-taries on tlie fifth cricket test followmuch the same lines as those for theearlier matches. A local station willtake up the description at 10 p.m. onthe first day of play and at 9.30 p.m.on succeeding evenings, these broad-casts closing at 11 p.m., except in thecase of 2YA, which will continuo onthe air until 5 a.m. In addition, at7 a.m., 8 a.m. and again at 9 a.m.on each morning all stations will broad-cast the score and a resume of detailsof play on the preceding day, and thesewill be supplemented by eye-witnessaccounts by either W. A. Oldfield orP. G. H, Fencer, On Monday eveningIZM will give portion of the cricketcommentary, as IYA will be engagedwith the relay of wrestling.' More inkeeping with the season is the broad-cast by 2YA on Saturday of commen-tary on the representative Rugby matchHawke's Bay v. Wellington.

Plans for the proposed broadcastingcentre at Wellington are awaiting theapproval of the Cabinet and once theyhave been passed tenders are to becalled and the work put in hand witha view to early completion of the initialstages of the project. Tho building isto be erected on a site behind Parlia-ment Buildings and tho plans providefor ample space for expansion of thevarious branches of broadcasting, aswell as a cultural development centre.While provision for short-wave broad-casting lias been made, the Minister incharge of broadcasting has stated thatat the outset no short-wave transmitteris to bo provided.

Electricians have long appreciatedthe harmful effect on electrical appar-atus of the humid atmospheric condi-tions which generally obtain in Auck-land. Naturally, the more delicate theinstrument the greater its susceptibilityto damage from water vapour and, inspite of its apparent robustness, themodern radio set is a delicato instru-ment, with windings so fine and sub-jected to such high voltage that a merepinpoint of corrosion will cause break-down. While it is truo that the mostmodern receivers are "moistureproofed," it remains a fact that evenwith such apparatus moisture will causehavoc in time. The best insurance inall cases is tho periodical use of thereceiver, so that the warmth generatedmay drive off any incipient trouble be-fore damage results. There have beenmany cases of late where a small mantelreceiver has been used during tho win-ter rather than movo tho larger set,and the result has been that afterthree months of a lay-up the big sotis found to have suffered the ravages ofthe damp air.

JACK

mis A 1 A fine, healthy lad, with strong,

muscular arms. Fullof dash andspirit—a grandathlete. Good at his school work, too—lt never

tires him out. He'll pass his exama easily and that will be• big help to him in after life.

Mis C3..... Poor chap, he "droops" because he can'help it. He's not strong enough. Somehow he doesn'tu gjj out" properly. His school work suffers, too be gets

tired bo easily. Besides, he's always getting colds and illnesses, has tobe kept away from school* aud falls behind the others.

Why is there such a differencebetween these two boys ?

XTOWADAY'S all parents try to build up theirf™

children's bodies with healthy exercise, good feed-ing and special care of all sorts.

Yet the results ofall this new care are far better withsome children than with others. For example, why isthere such a difference between the two boys shown inthe picture above ?

BUl's parents were more carefulThe explanation is that Bill's parents have been more thought-ful in following the latest scientific advice than Jack sparents.One. tiling that the authorities specially advise for children iscod liver oil, to'build up their bones and muscles and protectthem against epidemics, and Bill's parents have rememberedone important fact—that some children can only take cod liver

/

oil when they are given it in its most digestible formScott's Emulsion.

A well-known Medical Research Body has proved thatScott's Emulsion is the form of cod liver oil that every childcan digest.

Medical Research Body's Discovery"Immediately after taking a spoonful of Scott"t

Emulsionwrites this Research Body, "every drop gottto stivngtlien the child's whole body, particularly th«chest and lungs."Another special advantage of Scott's Emulsion is that it con-tains hypophosphites of lime and soda, which build upchildren's bones and teeth. Moreover, Scott's Emulsion hasa pleasant taste, so that children like it better. They quicklyput on pounds of healthy bone, muscle and tissue and becomeabsolutely safe against colds and epidemics.

Give your children cod liver oil every day. But rememberwhat a famous Medical Research Body has said :

"If yourchildren are to be sure of getting the full benefits from thekcod liver oil, it must be Scott's Emulsion."

Zealands continued to lose■'round. In the insurance group, SouthBritish were marked down on sale.

Guarantee Corporation changedhands freely a£ late rates, while Hoto-iti Timbers sold twice in the first busi-ness for almost 18 months. Bights tothe new issue of Dominion Brewerieswere taken at <s.

Australian industrials" were unusuallydull. -Metals remained weak. In spiteof a concession by holders of ColonialSugars, buyers were absent. Farmers'Trading sold unchanged, while twotransactions in Wilsons Cement weremade at late rates. There was a declinein oil shares, both Moturoas and Tara-nakis losing ground in dealing.

BLACKWATER MINESA HOPEFUL OUTLOOK

CONFIDENCE IN PROPERTY

TAXES AND LABOUR PROBLEMS[from our OWN" correspondent]

LONDON, July 30A net profit of £23,743 was realised

by the Blaekwater Mines, Limited,during the past year, and a sum inexcess of that Amount was allocatedtoward the cost of a new mill. At theannual meeting this week an interimdividend of fid a share, free of tax,was declared.

Mr. L. Ehrlieh, the chairman, saidthat the operating profit was £14,723after charging costs and London ex-penses. Against that had been chargeddepreciation £3606, New Zealand goldduty £9586, provision for New' Zea-land and Knglisli taxation £6500, andprospecting expenditure £I2BB. Therehad been transferred to general re-servo £25,000, leaving £7878 to thecredit of profit and loss.

Treatment of OreDuring the year 41,333 tons of ore

were treated, yielding 17,098 fineounces of gold, which realised £119,948.Total operating costs were £71,776,the working surplus being £48,172. Thereduction in working profit by some£9OOO was due largely to increasedworking costs following higher wagesand a shorter working week.

Disclosures reported wore encourag-ing. Owing to the scarcity of labourand the shorter working hours it wasunlikely that over 200 tons a day wouldbe handled by the new mill. From thatoutput, at an average value of 9dwt.there would bo an additional profitof £15,000 sterling per annum. Thevalue of the average grade of ore tobo treated was estimated at 9.38dwt.,and it was expected that the recoverywould average 95 per cent.

Disadvantages in Dominionilr. Ehrlieh also referred to the

"real grievance" regarding the NewZealand gold export duty. Several inter-views had been'held with Ministers,but with no satisfactory result. "Weare, nevertheless, not without hopethat the Government will eventuallyrealise not only the injustice of thisoppressive burden imposed on operat-ing companies, but also its prejudicialeffect on the raising of capital for newmining enterprise, which is clearlyagainst the best interests of the Do-minion," ho said., "The mine gives us no cause foranxiety whatever. The developments atdepth are fully up to expectations, andthere are good grounds for assumingthat the mine lias a long life. The ad-verse factors are labour and taxation.With a shortage of miners and a limi-ted working week we are at a disad-vantage as compared with operatingmines in most other parts of the world,while wages are high in comparison.Jhe gold duty is a most onerous im-position, when coupled with the factthat there is a liability for income taxin New Zealand of 7s fid in the pound.Anyone lias a right to expect that aGovernment which imposes so high anincome tax would not further jeopard-ise the position of an industry by adirect tax on its product. l '

Although the weather hns " beenmilder during the past week, there hasbeen no growth of pastures and feed isstill short.

More backward heifers, well grownand good quality, have l also shown animprovement, this class being competedfor largely by graziers, who intend hold-ing them and reselling next month whenprices are usually higher. Small andout-of-condition cattle are still diffi-cult to quit except at low figures. Storesteers are on offer in only small num-bers at Waikato centres and. with theimproved values obtained for beef, havemet with a ready sale at slightly ad-vanced rates.

ROYAL CRUISEYACHTING HOLIDAY

PRINCESSES WITH PARENTS

RECENT PARIS VISIT

NUMEROUS MEMENTOES[from our own correspondent]

LONDON, July 27

The King and Queen, with the twoPrincesses, began their "annual holi-days" this week. With her daughtersthe Queen embarked on the yacht Vic-toria and Albert and cruised in thevicinity of the Soient for two daysbefore the King went aboard.

Before the yacht cruises up the EastCoast to Aberdeen, tho King is to goashore at Southwold, where he will stayfor a day at the Duke of York's Camp,where -100 boys aged from 17 to 19 areon holiday. Ho will rejoin the Victoriaand Albert for the leisurely journeyto Aberdeen, from where the Royalparty will go to Balmoral for theirsummer stay.

While they are on tho Victoria andAlbert the Princesses will bo shown oneof its most carefully guarded treasures.It is a small white ensign about thesize of a pocket handkerchief, and ithangs, framed, in tho teak panelledreception lounge. It was given to KingGeorge V. many years ago by the At-lantic search party which found Cap-tain Scott and his companions. Theydiscovered it flying near tho bodies.

Improvements to the Royal YachtThe yacht itself, with its many mem-

ories of Royalty, has survived morethan one threat of being scrapped. Therumours were persistent, some tenyears ago, but Queen Mary decidedon several improvements. Tho domesticarrangements were brought up to date,and officers were given a bathroom toreplace the footbaths with which theyhad been provided in their cabins. Inthe kitchen were installed modern ap-pliances including electric ovens, steamheaters, and dish-washers.

Their Majesties will take with themon their holiday vivid memories of their6tav in Paris, and their home-coining,which was tho occasion for one of themost spontaneous welcomes that Lon-don has known. Two of the most excitedlittle people were naturally the Prin-cesses. Their parents returned withpresents for the Princesses from Presi-dent Lebrun and from the schoolchild-ren of Paris.

French Children's Gift DollsThe' President's gifts included the

smallest of watches for Princess Eliza-beth. It was mounted on a plain plat-inum expanding bracelet, unjewelled,and contained in a case emblazonedwith the initial "E." For monthsFrench schoolchildren saved up theirsous for two dolls, and, coming fromParis, naturally the best-dressed dolls.Creations were designed for them, andincluded evening dresses of the costliestmaterials, lingerie of exquisite work-manship, day and afternoon outfits,sports clothes and beach wear.

The dolls have their own jewellery.Each has a bracelet, necklace and clip.One set is - in white and red coral,inset with diamonds. The other is oflapis • lazuli, white coral, and blueenamel 6n gold inlaid with diamonds.

The City of Paris presented to theKing a gold cigarette case, inset witha magnificent sapphire and carved withthe ltoyal cipher. People all over thecountry subscribed to present the Queenwith a beautiful collection of Laliqueglass objets d'art, suitable for tabledecoration. .

"DUTCH" BANNEDNETHERLANDS COLONIES

NAMES FOR THE FUTURE

GOVERNMENT'S 'REQUEST[FROM OCR OWN

NEW YORK, July 20

The Government of the Netherlandshas advised the Government of theUnited States that the Dutch EastIndies, Dutch Guiana and the DutchWest Indies will be known, henceforth,as the Netherlands Indies, Surinamflnd Curacao, respectively.

It has added a request that peoplewriting to those territories should usethe lien* geographical names.

A substantial Dutch element in thepopulation of North America does notjoin the Motherland in its condemna-tion of the word "Dutch, ' which istaboo in,the Netherlands for two mainreasons. First, the word has a Germanconnotation, from "Deutsch," whichthe Netherlands Government declaresis misleading. Only a small fraction ofthe 70,000,000 persons in the Nether-lands Empire is German. The twocountries have distinct racial andnationai characteristics.

The second reason, probably the moreimportant one, is that ''Dutch" has hadan uncomplimentary meaning in thepast, which still persists in certainphrases and slang.

In the 15th century, the term"Dutch" was used in England in thesense that German is now used. It in-cluded the language of the people ofthe Netherlands as part of the Dutchor Low German domni/i. When theprovinces of what now constitute theNetherlands became an independentState, .Dutch was gradually restrictedto the Netherlands, as being the par-ticular Dutch or German with whomthe English came into contact.

In the 17th century, when Englandand Holland were engaged in war orbitter. rivalry for trade and colonies,the expressions of which Nethcrlandersnow complain came into use in Englandand they have survived to this day.

Lexioograpliers of slang list scores ofthese derisive expressions. Exceptionswore rare. For instance, Josh .Billingswrote: —"Put an Englishman in theGarden of Eden and he'll find faultwith it; put a Yankee in, he would6ee where- he could alter it to advan-tage; put an Irishman in. he wouldboss it around; put a Dutchman in, hewould proceed to plant it."

Shakespeare wrote: "You will hangan icicle on a Dutchman's board."George Canning said: "In matters ofcommerce, the fnult of the Dutch isto ofFer too little and ask too much."Horace, writing in dread of the casti-gation of an uncle's tongue (vide "I'lltalk to him like a Dutch uncle," said:"Don't come the uncle over me."

In colloquial English, the adjectiveDutch has a belittling or derisive appli-cation, sometimes meaning little morethan foreign, or un-English, and some-times with reference to the drinkinghabits of the 17th century Dutchmen.In their day, it. was synonymous withall that was false and hateful, and.when a man said, "I'd rather bo aDutchman than do what you ask mo,"he used the strongest ti-rnis of refusal.

RACING AT ELLERSLIEPAKURANGA HUNTMEETING ON SATURDAYFOURTEEN IN CUP STEEPLES

FINE CONTEST ANTICIPATED

HANOVER STRONGLY FANCIEDBY AKCHEIt

An interesting feature of the Paku-rnnga Races at lillerslio on Saturdayshould be tbe contest for the HuntCup. in which there are l-l horses en-gaged. Several of the candidates dis-played good form toward the end oflast season and the top-weight Kaliu-noke won the Matai Steeplechase atTrenthain in July, carrying 9.11 andleading from end to end to score de-cisively from Monastic 10.1. Kahunokohas gone on the right way since thenand at Gisborne last Saturday week hocarried 13.0 into second place behindNew Ferry, to whom he was concedingnearly three stone, in tho FergusonGold Cup at the Poverty Bay Huntmeeting. No fault can be found with

. Knhunoko's condition and ho shouldrun we'll.

En Tour a StayerAs a result of his second to King's

Archer at Matamata last month, KnTour is likely-to have many admirersand he may be expected to make asolid showing. En Tour won the racetwo years ago' and is a sound stayerlikely to be running on when many ofthe others are tiring. Manawatushowed a glimpso of form when hefinished second to Hanover in thoHunters' Steeplechase at Awapuni lastmonth and ho has improved with thowork he has accomplished in the mean-

. time. A repetition of his best wouldmake Manawatu difficult to beat butit is a long time since he displayed hisreal. form. Manawatu is set to meetHanover on 91b. better terms than at

'their last meeting.*Another visitor engaged is the im-

proving HanoVer, who has won at hislast two starts, which were the Raiigi-tikei Hunt Cup at Marton and thoHunters Steeplechase at the Manawatumeeting last month. Trained by L.Knapp, Hanover is a chestnut geldingby Little England from a Spalpeen mare

"and he is a good fencer expected to dowell over the Ellerslio country. Hirangiis also in L. Krtapp's stable and on thoform he revealed at Ellerslio in June,when he won the Hunt Club Hurdleswith 10.7 and was third with 11.6 toPower Chief and Smilin' Thru in thoHunt Club Cup, he will have to borespected if started. The best has notbeen seen of Hirangi hut there appearsto be a doubt' whether he is comingNorth.

Good Form of KinkleKinkie has improved a good deal

,since running third last year and hemay do even better this time in spiteof his defeats at Trent ham last monthand.the fact that he has more weighton this occasion. It. is in favour ofKinkle that he has proved his worthover the hill at"; Ellerslie, where hoscored in the Green Lane Steeplechaseand the Tamaki Steeplechase in June.In the latter-race Kinkle carried 11.2to win easily from Power Chief and onSaturday he has 10.12, or 41b. less. Asimilar performance should make himdifficult to beat. Saint Musk has norecent form but is a dashing fencerwith several good performances to his

"credit.Neither Rosy nor King Rod has

accomplished anything for some timeand the latter may feel tho lack ofrecent racing, although he is a goodjumper and has done a lot of work.

• Red Mint, a daughter of Mint Leaf,surprised her connections when she wonthe Hack and Hunters' Steeplechase atNew Plymouth last month, as it wasbelieved that ' she was not forwardenough to run the two and a-half milesright out. Red' Mint evidently stayswell and she may show improvement.Cordon and Bells of Bow ran first andsecond respectively in the Peria Hackand Hunters' Steeplechase at Mata-mata and they are lightweight possi-bilities. Electric Flash is engagedearlier in the Greenmount Hunters'Steeplechase and Floodlight is a promis-ing jumper, who has been unlucky inhis latest races.

Present indications are that the racewill attract spirited speculation andamong the popular fancies may be Han-over, Hirangi, En Tour, Manawatu and

- Kinkle.

LATEST TRAININGTWO NOTICES SPRINT

TRACKS HEAVY AFTER RAIN

KENA AND TRUE VERY FIT

After overnight rain the tracks wereheavy at Ellerslio yesterday morning,and the majority of horses wero givenuseful tasks on the sand.

Among the visitors to attract fav-ourable attention was .Tvena, who strodeout with plenty of dash while encom-passing a couple of rounds at strongpace. The Musketoon gelding has sel-dom looked better, and he demonstratedby his sound gallop on Tuesday thathe is not without a ehanco in theJellicoe Handicap.

The only horses required to gallopwere tho stablematos Kenspeckle (Tre-main) and Knightsbridgo (Murray),who sprinted three furlongs in 40 2-oson die No. 3 grass track. Kenspeckle,who was going the better at tho finish,is an upstanding gelding by Illumina-tion and lie is beginning to showpromise.

Since arriving here tho Gisbornesteeplechaser Kahunoko has not beenasked to do a great deal, and it isnot the intention of his trainer to schoolhim before the meeting. However,Kahunoko bears a very solid appear-ance and with his recent racing shouldlack nothing on the score of condi-tion. Wo far no rider has been en-gaged for him, but it is probable thatA. E. Lord will pilot him.

True has made a favourable impres-sion by her appearance, and, althoughshe lias not been overtaxed since reach-ing Ellerslio, she has hit out nicely inthe work allotted her. With Mr. H.Dodds as her rider in the Ladies'Bracelet on Saturday, True is likelyto find strong favour.

AYMON AS HURDLERJUMPERS TURNED OUT

QUIET DAY AT RICCARTON

GIRONDE IN P. McGRATH'S TEAM

[by telegraph—OWN correspondent]CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday

Valpeen, Pukeko and Lady Montanawero shipped North to-night.

Another novice jumper was tried atRiccarton this morning,. when Aymonwas sent over the pony hurdles. Howent straight at each of the obstacles,which he jumped with plenty to spare.

The Greymouth trainer, E. Kingan,has arranged to remain at Riccartonfor ft few weeks in order to race MetalBird, Gold Boy and Bit o' Blue at theAshburton and Geraldino meetings. M.Conza lias sent Conception and BrightRed homo to Greymouth, but his othertwo jumpers, Chaste and Contract,will bo got ready for hurdle races atAshburton and Geraldine.

Grampian is having a short rest, butP. McGrath intends to get him readyfor brush hurdle events at the NewZealand Cup meeting.

J. B. Pearson has put into work athree-year-old filly by Lord Wardenfrom Malmsey. She is a chestnut andis half-sister to the speedy AVine Card.

Courtyard, who showed good formlast month at the Wellington meeting,is to spoil for a few months and therest is due, as since Eastef ho hashad 10 hurdle races for five wins andtwo seconds. It is probable he will botried next winter as a steeplechaser.

Most of the horses who raced lastweek were absent from the tracks yes-terday.

Two-year-olds wero given the chancoof a gallop on the course proper, andmany trainers took advantage of theprivilege. Some two-year-olds will berequired to contest tho John GriggStakes at Ashburton next, month.

Sparkle, who was galloped pn whilerunning/ the Sumner Handicap, wasunable to race on Saturday and sheis resting. Nocturnus, who could notrace owing to his going lame on theeve of the meeting, will be sent intothe country for a long spell, in thehope that he will recover sufficientlyto be tried again next winter.

Nightbound has been eased and willbo given a rest. Ho won one steeple-chase this winter and showed promis-ing form in other races. Next winter,D. O'Connor may bo able to producehim as a much-improved horse. ArcticStar, another steeplechaser in thesamo stable, was lame after his secondrace last week, and ho will have to goout for a long rest.

Gironde did not return to Hawke'sBay after last week's meeting. Ho wasleft with P. McGrath, who will raceiiiin at southern spring meetings.

TURF IN SYDNEYPROPOSED LEGISLATIONCHECK ON ILLEGAL BETTING

FAVOURITES' RUN OF SUCCESS

[FROM OUR OWN COIUUvSI'ONDF.NT]SYDNEY, August 12

E. McMonamin who was under sus-pension for lour months of last seasonfell foul of the stipendiary stewardsagain last Saturday at Rosehill. On thesixth day of the new season, he receivedanother two months' suspension forcareless riding. The sufferer was J. T.Jamieson's charge, Kai 'J'ere. About afurlong from home in the Three andFour-year-old Handicap, MeMenamiu'smount, Fearless, challenged the leaderKai Tore ami quickly assumed charge.Just as Fearless passed Kai Tore, whowas beaten, ho ran in quielclv and KaiTore almost fell. His rider, E. Bartlo,just hold him up and Kai Tore wasalso passed by Oration and beaten intothird place. MoMenamin lias announcedhis intention to appeal, lie finished aclose second on the New South Waleswinning riders' list last season with 93winners, the leader being E. Bartle.

Tlio New South Wales Government'sBill, intended to abolish starting-priceand other illegal betting, is likely tohave a stormy career. There are severalcontentious clauses and the one towhich most exception is taken is thatit is necessary for a person chargedwith illegal betting to prove his inno-cence, rather than the Crown to provehim guilty. Professional tipsters aro tobo abolished.

Restrictions on BroadcastingRestrictions on broadcasting aro not

so sweeping as was at first proposed,advice of betting only being prohibited.

Ono section applies to newspapersand is viewed with apprehension as apossible loophole for tho imposition ofcensorship. No weights, acceptancesnor programmes of any club may bepublished without the permission orapproval of the club under penalty of£IOO for a first offence, or not morethan £SOO for the second offence. Thissection is being closely watched by thonewspapers' representatives.

Well-supported horses have been win-ning with remarkable regularity and itis no secret that a good section of thebookmakers are feeling the financialdrain. Some gilt-edged securities liavohad to bo sacrificed but the tido is cer-tain to turn. A ready answer to thebookmakers' plaints is to suggest therestriction of wagering to the totalis-ator; that always brings an indignantrejoinder.

Four Wins in SuccessionM. McCarten had a field day at

Monanglo last Tuesday, when he rodefour winners in succession.

Apart from Kai Tore, no New Zea-land-bred horse filled a place at Hose-hill last Saturday. Enthusiasts who al-ways aro extolling the successes of Do-minion stock in Australia would nothave been pleased with some of theimportations at Rosehill.

The Trump at Caulfield last Satur-day carried 0.6 and over the last fur-long of six, spreadeagled a useful fieldof sprinters. The Manfred gelding istrained and ridden by ex-New Zealand-ers, in S. Reid and A. Reed respec-tively.

F. D. .Tones arrived this week withCerno Abbas, The Wrecker and RoyalChief.

Silver Coat reappeared as a hurdlerat Rosebory last Wednesday but lackof a race, cost him first place. ThePink Coat gelding jumped well but jwas outstayed by Beau Ideal. j

Horses who commenced their- racingcareers in distinguished company andwound up among the hurdlers, andthose who made their debut with thehurdlers to wind up as winners of im-portant cup winners furnish many a

bright page in turf history.Padishah, who led the field home

in this year's Now Zealand GrandNational Hurdles, now takes rank withhorses who won cup honours oil tho ilat

i and over hurdles in the same year.I Following is a list of notable horses

I who have their names enrolled as wiu-j ners under both headings:—

WELL-SCHOOLED HUNTERS

CROSS-COUNTRY VICTORS

A good few instances can bo citedwhere horses who had engaged in hunt-ing subsequently distinguished them-selves in important cross-countryevents. Santa Casa (by David), wholed tho field home in the V.B.C. GrandNational Steeplechase in 1936, fol-lowed tho hounds for several seasons,and Tongalla (by Seabound), who hasthe record of winning the AustralianSteeplechaso in two successive years,has placed himself well in the lime-light bv scoring in record time eachyear. Tongalla, who was hunted withthe Oaklands pack, was not put intotraining until late in life, and whenho contested a Maiden Plato in De-cember, 1932, ho was entered as aged,so that if he was reckoned seven yearsold at tho period named he is now inhis 13th year. Tongalla boasts a doublestrain of Musket on the dam's side.His dam, Bruno, is by Bundook, sonof Carbine, and his grand-dam, Dro-inana, is by Mana, son of Musket.

STUD ITEMS

HEROIC'S GREAT RECORD

Throughout almost tho whole of lastseason it was always made pretty cer-tain that the progeny of Heroic wouldonce again place their well-testedparent at the head of the winning sire'slist, and the figures published by theAustralasian Turf Register show thatthe prize-money captured by themamounted to £53,213. This gives agrand total of £219,923 for the eightseasons, dating from 1930-31 to 1937-38,in which the Valais horse has beenrepresented on tho turf.

It is understood that the seven year-lings by Heroic offered at auction atthe New South Wales sales in Aprilrepresented the last of his youngprogeny, for he has not been used dur-ing tho past two years.

THE CARBINE LINESpearfelt, victor in many stirring con-

tests on tho racecourse, who traces toCarbine through its most notable chan-nel Spearmint, is keeping up tho studrecord of the famous family to whichhe owes descent, and he is now in-cluded with tho leading sires in Aus-tralia. During the season of 1936-37Spearfelt's progeny captured prize-money to tho amount of £20,348, andtho 1937-38 year saw £29,072 creditedas tho result of their earnings. Theoutstanding one of Spearfelt's progenythis season was Spear Chief, whoso vic-tories include the Queensland Guineas,Queensland Derby, Queensland St.Leger and tho Brisbane Cup. SpearChief is accepted as a stayer, and hisform in important spring races will bowatched with interest.

TIDEWAITER'S BREEDINGTidewaiter, who won a doublo at tho

Canterbury Jockey Club's meeting lastweek, is by the French-bred siro Tidal,son of Sea Sick, from tho Sonning mareBallymoy 11. There is a groat deal torivet attention in tho pedigree of Bally-moy 11., for it is well sprinkled withmany illustrious names. Ballymoy 11.,who was imported from England whenrising two-years-old, was foaled in1922 so that she has no time to loseif she is to give tho turf a first-rater.

HISTORIC SALETho name of Mana appearing in tho

pedigreo of tho Australian Steeplechasowinner Tongalla carries memory backto tho sale of yearlings at Sylvia Parkin the summer of 1887, which periodmarked tho last collection of youngsterssired by Musket to be submitted atauction" A bay colt from tho Buccaneermare Leila who figured in the col-lection gave rise to spirited bidding,and was bought by tho Hon. W. I car-son for 510 guineas. Subsequentlynamed Mana, the bay colt carried thecolours of tho Melbourne sportsman,but ho failed to race up to his stoutbreeding.

AUCKLAND TROTSTHE AUGUST HANDICAPGOOD PERFORMERS ENGAGED

CHANCES OF NERVIE'S LAST

BY ABAYDOSThe dual success of Ironside at Arl-

ington gained him access to the NewZealand Cup and put him out of theAuckland Trotting Club's August Han-dicap, removing the chance of F. J.Smith's repeating his performance ofJune, when Crocus, Ironside andNervie's Last filled the places. How-ever, Crocus and Nervie's Last will run.

At the distance, Crocus won livetimes last season, twice recording 3.173-5. She proved her ability to go wellin heavy ground. Nervie's Last is the.Dominion's champion free-legged pacer,taking records of 2.4 '2-5, 3.J0 1-5 and4.21 1-5. In finishing fourth in theAdams Memorial Handicap he ran 3.19on a holding track, and was third inthe Mark Memorial in 3.28 3-5.

Since winning as a two-year-old, Ken-worthy has won at all distances. Hohas not raced since taking the Ota-liuhu Handicap last season, but is ingood order, Prince Pedro should bomore forward when ho last visitedEpsom.

Fern brook Lass three times last sea-son gave glimpses of the form thatwon her useful handicaps in the SouthIsland. She handles any track condi-tions and her latest work suggests thatshe will soon be at her best.

Star Pronto did not strike form untilthe autumn, when ho won the Fergus-son Handicap in 3.28 in soft going. Hoput up a splendid effort in the AdamsMemorial Handicap, beating all exceptIronside and going 3.22 1-5. He shouldrace well.

No horse at Epsom is carrying morebloom than Kewpie's Triumph. Histhird in the Adams Memorial Handi-cap was full of merit, and his 3.20 2-5was faster than the winner's time.

The five limit horses are all givingaway 12 yards. Noble Prince, whofailed last season off 3.23, received aconcession. Mo is working in greatstyle.

Great Chum has good form at alldistances. He is a genuine stayer andwill be one of the best-conditionedhorses in the race.

Our Peggv should be well forward asthe result of end-of-season racing. GavSister, who will represent W. Cliftonin the absence of Gold Dredge, is agame mare who will ho suited by thedistance.

Proletarian returned to form in April,when he won the Henderson Handicapin 3.25, or three seconds faster thanStar Pronto ran in the principal race.At Hamilton he just failed to concedeGay Sister 30 yards in two miles. Heis working in good stylo and shouldrun well. Favouritism is shared bySmith's bracket, Kenworthy, StarPronto and Proletarian.

BY ABAYDOSOver 40 pacers and trotters from

other States have been purchased re-cently by West Australian owners forthe new season.

Messrs. J. P. Stratton, J. R. Hallamand R. Cooper, who were greatly im-pressed 1 with the fino form of "progenyof Jack Potts, have acquired pacers bythe American-bred sire. Mr. Stratton,president of" the West Australia Trot-ting Association, secured Jack's Girl,a filly from Dark Girl, by Matchlightfrom Raven's Girl, dam of Eureka Boy,Hopo Dillon and Bexley Girl.

Mr. Hallam is the owner .of RoyalDoulton, by Jack Potts from Quality,whose dam, Lady Superior, left Car-dinal Logan, Bankhead and Richore,all good winners. Royal Doulton liaswon useful races. Mr. Hallam boughtthe Wrack geldings Tempest andCloudy Range and the Jingle geldingRollo.

Mr. Cooper's candidates arc Jack'sQueen, Hearts Aflame and Royal Con-quest, all by Jack Potts. Jack's Queenis from Mustapha, by Bridgewood—Cora Lynn, and is full-sister to TwentyGrand, winner of tho Westport Cup,and Casino.

TASMANIAN PACERVAN DERBY'S SHOW RECORD

Although tho Tasmanian-brcd pacerVan Derby, who is owned by Mr- E.Tatlow, a prominent breeder, was notincluded in the list of assessments, hismark is now announced as 3.36, whichmust represent his best form in a race.Van Derby has a show exhibitionrecord of 2.8 lor a mile, but 11.l 1 . J.Smith has not asked tho overseas pacerfor his best speed except for a few fur-longs. Van Derby is a handsome horsewho should develop into a useful propo-sition, both for racing and breeding.

Crowther will be manager, Mr. N. C.McLean, president of the Auckland BoxingAssociation, will be delegate to the annualconference of the Now Zealand Boxing Coun-cil. Messrs. A. B. Joplin and J. 11. Sloanhave been nominated as referee and judgerespectively for the Dominion tournament.

A Worthy WinnerThe final of the paper-weight last even-

ing produced a worthy winner in J. Jenkins,a clever and rugged hitter with cither hand.His opponent, A.. Itiley, displayed pluckinessafter being twice down in the second roundfollowing solid punches to the solar plexus.

G. AVorth accounted for the fly-weight divi-sion in no uncertain manner. He was tooclever and scientific for B. Chubb and wellearned the award (if tho Jamicson Belt asthe most scientific boxer at the tournament.

The semi-finals of the bantam-weight classprovided two excellent contests. In the firstJ. Canavan, Dargaville, won the decisionover li. Underwood. The latter gave an ex-cellent display and there were many whoconsidered he had earned the verdict. G.Gordon was too rugged for O. Jackson intho other semi-final, although tho latter madea brave showing.

The final, between Canavan and Gordon,saw the latter too strong and able to carrythe fighting to his opponent.

faster Puncher >

H. Stock proved himself to be a bettertwo-handed boxer than B. Phelan, of Darga-ville, who relied principally upon a rightswing or cross. Stock was the faster puncherand well earned the decision as championfeather-weight.

Hard Jutting characterised the final of thelight-weight class. Moran was the aggressorthroughout and, although McKay fought backgamely and made his opponent miss badlyat times, he was shaded on points.

R. J. Balcombo put up a plucky showingagainst It. Lyall in the first semi-final ofthe welter-weight division, although at a dis-advantage in regard to height and reach. W.Little created much diversion in the secondmatch on account of an almost continual brush-ing back of a long crop of hair. Lyall de-feated Woods in the final on points after awilling encounter.

Knock-out DecisionSome hard two-handed punching compelled

D. Grant to hold on in the first round ofthe middle-weight final, his opponent R.Branch, giving his usual vigorous display towin by a knock-out.

11. E. Neale, holder of the light-heavy-weight title, took the ring under the dis-advantage of a partially closed left eye. Hodid remarkably well in the circumstances, asit was obvious from the start that he wasunable to guard against a consistent attackon his "blind" side. Tho loser gave a veryplucky exhibition.

M. McHugh retained his heavy-weight titleby a clean knock-out of W. iR. Kemp. Thiswas tho only appearance of the winner duringthe tournament.

The officials were:—Referees, Messrs. J. H.Sloan, H. W. Brien, A. B. Joplin, R. Meale;judges, Messrs. S. E. Burke, A. B. Joplin,G. Bush, J. H. Sloan, n. W. Brien,- time-keepers, Messrs. C. Cowan, J. K. Douglas;announcer, Mr. W. E. Dervan.

WORLD TITLE BOUT

AMBERS AND ARMSTRONG

(Rccoived August 17, 5.5 p.m.)NEW YORK, August 10

With regard to tho world's light-weightboxing bout between Lou Ambers, tho holder,and Henry Armstrong-, the New York Boxing

Commission has tried to make tho bout offici-ally only for tho light-weight title by havingtho promoter, Mr. Miko Jacobs, and thoboxers' managers sign an agreement that onlyone title is at stake.

Tho National Boxing Association insists,however, that Armstrong's welter-weight titleis nlso involved.

Tho contest, which was postponed last weokon account of rain, will bo fought indoorsto-morrow.

Armstrong, a negro, won tho feather-weightchampionship of the world from Pcto Sarron,America, in October, 1.937, a knock-out de-cision. On May 31 last ho skipped a divisionand fought Barney Itoss, America, and de-prived him of tho welter-weight world title.Armstrong won on points, but punished hisopponent practically throughout tho bout.

Should Armstrong defeat Ambers he willhold three world titles at onco, a feat thathas never been performed in world champion-ship history.

SWIMMING BATHSQUESTION OF PURITYA PARENT'S EXPERIENCE

FOUR CHILDREN AFFECTED"All parents will be glad to have the

assurance from the president of thoAuckland Swimming Association that,since tho dates on which the alarmingfigures published by tho New Zea-land Amateur Swimming Associationwore obtained, some improvementshavebeen instituted in the public baths inAuckland," says Professor P. W. Bur-bidge, professor of physics at AucklandUniversity College, in a letter to theeditor of the Hkrald concerning thepurity of water in city swimming baths.

"The public values highly the workof tho association in fostering thohealthy art of swimming, but there isa danger that the remarks of the presi-dent and of the medical officer of healthmay give people a false sense ofsecurity," ho adds. "Many famlilieshave suffered from the state of the pub-lic baths in Auckland and to restorea feeling of security to parents it wouldbe more to tho point if the figures ofthe tests made last year were pub-lished, together with the dates or therelation to the length of time tho waterhad been in use.

Complaints Develop"I suggest this because of my own

experience, which, I have ascertained,is not an isolated one. In the middle oflast summer we shifted house fromTakapuna to town and my four chil-dren, who previously had bathed regu-larly at our Takapuna Beach, attendedtho Mount Eden baths. I inspected thetbaths and the chlorination plant andfelt somewhat assured as a result—afeeling 1 did not have with the tepidbaths in view of their design and theirevil reputation among medical men andparents.

"However, all four developed sorethroats—not exactly a new complaintfor them, but now as a simultaneousoccurrence," Professor Burbidge adds."Thinking it was probably a coin-cidence we waited until the throatssubsided and then again countenancedbathing. Again the throats, and noses,became affected, so that medical atten-tion was necessary. The two youngest,who bathed most, suffered mostseverely and one developed sinus troublewhich has not yet fully cleared.

Importance of Matter"On inquiry among other parents, I

found that the town baths all had badreputations in this respect, as did theBlue Baths at Rotorua. Medical mensaid, 'Oh! Baths!' and told us ofother eases.

"In the light of my experience andmy information, it seems to me a mat-ter of the highest public importancethat we should be informed of the trueposition because until this is done manyparents like myself must feel com-pelled to ban baths for our childrenalthough we keenly desire that theyshould enjoy the very healthy recreationof swimming."

CARRYING CHARGES

PROPOSALS AT ROTORUA

OPPOSITION BY FARMERS

[by telegeaph—own correspondent]ROTORUA, "Wednesday

Strong opposition to the proposedcartage charges to operate throughoutthe Rotorua, Wliakatane, Opotiki andTauranga (including Te Puke) coun-ties, which were drawn up by an advi-sory committee comprising two dele-gates from the carriers' associations ineach district, was voiced by representa-tives of the farmers and two timbermills in the Rotorua district at a pub-lic meeting at Rotorua.

The purpose of the meeting, which,in addition to the farming communityand timber companies, was attended byrepresentatives of the Rotorua Carriers'Association, the Railway Department,various local bodies and other inter-ested parties, was to discuss the pro-posed charges and to consider recom-mendations to be placed before a meet-ing of the Bay of Plenty Carriers' As-sociation, when the schedule will Jbefinally approved, for fixation by the No.1 Licensing Authority.

In his opening remarks, the chair-man, Mr. V. Florey, referred to the re-cent heavy burden of legislation placedupon carriers by the Government,which made conditions extremely diffi-cult. Wages, hours of work, speed andload limits were but four points of thelegislation wbich restricted the activi-ties of carriers and increased their run-ning costs.

Oil behalf of the Rotoiti and NationalTimber Companies. Mr. J. Burney saidthat his principals objected to theclause relating to timber charges. Heinstanced the substantial increases incosts over the present charges and saidthat, on those grounds, they could notagree with the schedule.

After other aspects of the schedulehad been discussed, Mr. H. P. Ford, onbehalf of the fanners of the district,moved that they could not approve oftho schedule as tabled and that thealterations suggested earlier should beused to form the basis of amendmentsto tho schedule. This was carriedunanimously.

THE ALL BLACKSSECOND TEST VICTORY

GREAT MATCH AT BRISBANE

RECOVERY BY AUSTRALIA

THRILLS IN EPIC STRUGGLEBY SYD. MALCOLM,

Former Australian and N.S.W. .RepresentativeSYDNEY, August 13

It was a red letter day in the annalsof Rugby Union last Saturday as repre-sentatives of seven countries, England,Scotland, Ireland, Wales, South Africa,.New Zealand and Australia, were almostsimultaneously participating in Rugbytests. At the delightful playirjg area atthe Exhibition Ground, Brisbane, Aus-tralia gallantly but vainly endeavouredto win the second test against the .AllBlacks. New Zealand won the game by20 points to 14 and with the victorytook the mythical Rugby ashes and theBledisloe Cup. But Australia morallywon the honours of the clay.

Australia was down 13—3 at half-time. Upon changing ends the homoplayers threw everything into a gloriousgamble for victory and, in a. sustainedbrilliant half-hour rally, absolutelyoverwhelmed the All Blacks. Victory,might easily have been achieved byAustralia in this inspired period, forHodgson once knocked on with the goal-line at his mercy and Hayes dropped apass from Collins in the goal mouthwhich should have yielded ,five morepoints.

It was a game packed with thrills.Therw was not one dull moment in the80 minutes of hectic, eventful strugglein ' which Australia . was dominant atleast lor half the time. It was a severetesting period for the All Blacks, whoadded lustre to their name by sograndly keeping the opposition at bay.

Optimism RestoredSaturday's epic struggle at Brisbane

has restored optimism concerning Aus-tralia's hopes and standard, particu-larly as youngsters in internationalRugby in Ramalli, Collins, Ide andCarpenter played with so much ability.The latter was Australia's hero. Hescored two brilliant tries, convertedone, and landed a penalty goal, notch-ing 11 of the 14 points for Australia.

His final try will be talked of in Bris-bane for many a day. He ran over 50yards, headed off his opposing wingerMorrison, by sheer speed, evaded-a des-perate tackling effort by Mitchell, whohad backed up in real Rugby style, andthen outpaced the fullback, Taylor, whohad scurried across to cut him off. Hisearlier try was also brilliant, but thesprint was shorter.

The crowd carried the fleet-footedVictorian shoulder-high ■ into thepavilion—a well earned tribute. AfterCarpenter, and in order of merit forhigh-class play, were Ramalli. the 19-year-old halfback, who in his firstsjrearof grade football has flashed into theinternational arena, Collins, at five-eighths, Ide, centre-threequarter, andRankin, fullback.

Ramalli's halfback play made all thedifference to Australia, for his mag-nificent service opened the attack andenabled Collins to unfold his latentpowers. The coach, Mr. A. C. Wallace,was in raptures over the play of thesetwo lads, who are destined to becomea brilliant pair of halves with years offootball in front of them. .

Mitchell's Fine PlayThe captain, N. A. Mitchell, was New

Zealand's champion. He held his sidetogether when the citadel was totteringand his superb backing up and quickthinking were revealed in his manysplendid efforts at the critical periods.

After the game the Australian dress-ing room was a place of cheer. Therewas no despondency, no gloom, for theteam felt it had really won the matchand so, too, did the officials, selectorsand the coach, who said that the epiostruggle was a glorious adventureworthy of a better fate.

The"match has cleared the misconcep-tion that Australia's Rugby standardis low. .There is plenty of talent avail-able and, if rightly selected, the teamwhich goes across the seas for theBritish tour will be infinitely greaterthan A. C. Wallace's famous Waratahsof 1926.

IMPRESSIONS OF COACH

FINEST GAME IN AUSTRALIA

NEW ZEALAND'S GREAT BACKSBY SYD. MALCOLM,

Former Australian and N.S.W. RepresentativeSYDNEY, August 13

For the benefit of New Zealandreaders I have asked Mr. A. C. Wallaceto give a few impressions of the second "

test at Brisbane, the one which re-tained the Bledisloe Cup for New Zea-land and settled the destinies of themythical ashes. Here are a fevr briefcomments by the famous Waratah cap-tain, who has been coaching the New-South Wales and Australian sides lastyear and this.

"It was the finest game I have ever 1seen in Australia," he said. "It was amagnificent one, great to play in andgreat to watch. Australia lost the ver-dict but won just as much honour as ;

New Zealand. In fact I think the AllBlacks had a narrow escape and Kelaheror Moran in place of Howard on thowing may have settled the decision thoother way.

"Two great Rugby personalitiesstood out like mountain peaks. Theywere Carpenter, the lively Victorianwinger, and Mitchell, the All Blacks'centre and captain.

"Carpenter notched 11 points out of ■Australia's 14. He also got 9 out of 9in the first game, so that in all he hasscored 20 of tho 23 registered againstNew Zealand. He was amazing in liisdazzling speed and his pace ana clever-ness took him twice past Morrison aswell as Mitchell and Taylor, who-hadsupported the winger. >'

"Mitchell was superb. He used allhe possessed in rare football manner—!bis weight, quick thinking, defence,leadership and all his football know-- -

ledge. This stamped him as an out-standing champion.

"It is worth noting that the team 'had only three of the test team thatplayed for Australia against thoSpringboks last year. This fact is sig-nificant and adequately replies to chopessimists who state that Australia'sresources and stocks are low.

"The Australian pack was on top ofthe All Blacks, especially in the sdcottd" 'half, and in this period Mitchell's cap-taincy was proved. He kept his mentogether and even launched a success-ful counter-attack, which really savedthe day. .

.

"Hodgson earned the right to ranlcns one of tho greatest forwards of atime. Phillips was good, Mitchellsuperb, Taylor a champion and Bowman

tho best forward on the field. McKenzie and Millikon were also good in a

SOCIAL SECURITY FINANCE

While everyone applauds thebenefits proposed under the socialsecurity scheme, the doubt has beenwhether the country could afford topay for them. Mr. Nash's speech inmoving the second reading of thebill was therefore looked forward towith unusual interest to discoverwhether he could satisfy an eagerpublic on this question of ways andmeans. Clearly the Governmentrecognises that finance is the touch-stone of the scheme and entrustedthe bill, not to the Minister ofPensions or the Minister of Health,but to the Minister of Finance. Itcannot be said, unfortunately, thatMr. Nash added to his reputationfor soundness in laying down thefinancial basis of the scheme. Hedid not give details, weighing everycontingency and taking a long viewcompounded of past experience andfuture probabilities, as should bedone by any Minister of Finance.

'Rather his attitude might becompared with that of an opti-mistic company promoter, reducingexpenses to an unjustifiably lowlevel in defiance of the actuarialestimate, allowing nothing for con-tingencies, and reckoning receiptsat a peak level yet to be reached.This method of finance may benatural to a share-pushing salesmanbut should be foreign to a Ministerof Finance. Not only that, but Mr.Nash confined his estimates to nextyear, whereas this scheme isdesigned to support the aged, sick,orphans, unemployed, widows andmothers for generations. Girls andboys aged 16 will next year beginto pay taxes for benefits dated 44years ahead. Mr. Nash offered themnot the slightest assurance or guar-antee that in 1983 they will be ableto draw the pension they begin topay for in a few months, but bythat time, of course, Mr. Nash willbe 101 years old and Mr. Savage111, if they are mercifully sparedso long.

In his hopeful sketch of ways andmeans, Mr. Nash begins with theactuarial estimate of the cost of theoriginal scheme at £17,850,000. Hededucts the cost of war pensions,although these must still be paid,and brings the bill down to£16,060,000. Additional benefits pro-posed for wives and widows raisesthe total to £16,610,000. At thispoint a prudent Minister of Financewould add the customary 10 per centfor contingencies, but Mr. Nash doesthe opposite and deducts 10 per cent,giving the cost next year at£15,000,000. He admits the deductionis arbitrary, meaning, according tothe Oxford dictionary, that it is"derived from mere opinion" and is"capricious" or "despotic." A billof costs drawn on these lines offersa poor foundation on which to buildsocial security. If the known factsbe faced honestly, the bill for thefirst full year in 1940-41 will standas follows:—

Original scheme ..£17,850,000

Additions—Wives and widows 550,000Superannuation .. 900,000

Employment promotion 3,000,000

£22,300,000

The first two of the above itemshave already been explained. Theadditions for superannuation includethe £600,000 (Mr. Nash's figure) forthe instalment of universal pensionsto those aged 65 and over, and£300,000 (the actuary's estimate) forthe increase in ordinary superannua-tion in the second year. The originalscheme allowed only £1,500,000 forunemployment sustenance and noth-ing for employment promotion, aservice averaging about £3,000,000in recent years and one that shouldreasonably be provided for in thefuture. Putting aside as too formid-able the reflection that the costswill continue to rise for 40 years,as the British actuary demonstrated,it is found that the estimated costof the Government's measure ofsocial security will be £22,300,000 inthe first full year. To raise thissum will involve taxation, direct orindirect, of 2s lid in the pound onthe national income of £150,000,000or, if Mr. Nash's optimistic estimateof £174,000,000 be taken, the chargewould be 2s 6d in the pound, therate given by the Opposition Leader.

When it comes to counting therevenue, Mr. Nash bases all hiscalculations on the existing recordnational income. He is banking onprosperity continuing and increasing,the increase being essential to paythe rising costs of the scheme infuture years if the burden is notto become insupportable. The peopleshould ask themselves whether. Mr.Nash is justified in relying on suchuniform and abounding prosperityand in pledging their future securityon mere expectation. He is budget-ing on a national income next yearof £174,000,000 but the average inthe seven years ended March 31,1938, was only £113,000,000. Toobtain a yield of £22,300,000 fromthat average would require a chargeof 4s in the pound, apart fromtaxation for all the expensive Stateservices not included under socialsecurity. In considering the problemof revenue, it should be remembered,however, that not all the £22,300,000represents new expenditure. Twelvemillions is covered now and theadditional three millions expectedfrom the increase in wages tax andlevy leaves seven millions outstand-ing. The Opposition Leader reachesmuch the same conclusion, statingthat Mr. Nash has more than£6,000,000 to find. It is a formidablefigure, being seven times the revenuefrom beer duty or land tax, or three-fourths the total yield from incometax. Where is Mr. Nash going toobtain this sum to balance his socialsecurity budget, with all tax sourcesalready drawn on to their utmostlimit? The people should think overthis and other questions raised.They cannot be expected to entrusttheir future security to a schemeunless they are fully satisfied thatit is sound.

BROADCAST CONTROLLER

The Government has decided notto accept the resignation of Mr. C.G. Scrimgeour, Controller of theNational Commercial BroadcastingService. It was quite within thediscretion of the Government to dothis. It accepts, indeed must accept,responsibility for the decision. Atthe same time it should make itclear, beyond any possibility ofmisunderstanding, that there shallbe no repetition of what happenedon Sunday night, August 7. Duringthe debate on the broadcast of thatdate, the Prime Minister said thatnot long before he had had themanagers of all the stations in hisroom and told them the Governmentdid not want put over the air thekind of outburst for which Mr.Scrimgeour was responsible onAugust 7. One announcement tothat effect from the Prime Ministershould have been enough. TheGovernment should now makecertain that there shall be no furtherdisregard of an eminently desirableruling. Speakers on the Governmentside during the debate made noattempt to defend the intemperatelanguage of the broadcast. Theycould hardly have done so, but theyalso spoke as though this were itsonly indefensible feature. It wasnot. The Director, as a State official,had no shadow of right to use themicrophone as he did for his ownpurposes, whatever quality of lan-guage bo used. The breach ofdiscipline, the arrogating of thepeople's property to his own use,were the first and gravest parts ofthe offence. The rest was merelyaggravation of it. It should beremembered, however, that voicescast on the air may be heard farbeyond the shores of New Zealand,and the kind of language broadcastthat Sunday night would do thisDominion no good in the regard ofpeople overseas who might haveheard it.

BELGIAN MANOEUVRES

While the Czechoslovak Govern-ment chooses the wise course ofpassive preparedness, in answerto Germany's extraordinary man-oeuvres, the Belgian, equally wise,makes a reply in terms of the Nazigesture by conducting manoeuvresnear the German frontier. Circum-stances make the Czechoslovakself-restraint advisable : it would beimpolitic to present Germany witha justification of her menacingactivity, and so long as Lord Runci-man's mediation is uncompleted theCzechoslovak attitude must be quies-cent. On the other hand, Belgiumis not involved in the Czech-Sudetencontroversy, yet cannot be indif-ferent to the sinister implications ofthe German manoeuvres. Memoriesof 1914 make her demonstration ofmilitary alertness natural and rea-sonable ; to be caught again at sogreat a disadvantage would befoolish, and it is well to let Germanyknow her mind about that. Belgium,it should be remembered, is nolonger expressly assured of Ger-many's obligation to respect herrights to freedom from attack;the undertaking that Bethmann-Hollwegg derided as "a scrap ofpaper" no longer exists, and theLocarno agreements, in so far asthey pledged her protection, havealso gone. She has recently electedto make independent provision fordefence, no matter what aid she canexpect from friendship with Franceand Britain. Consequently no objec-tion can be raised to her unusualdisplay of readiness for defensivewar, and the date of this displayrobs the German Government of allground to describe it as a provoca-tive mobilisation. Instead, it shouldadd a further reason for Nazi carelest military gestures go too far.The risk of that is evidently realisednow in Berlin, but- Belgium'simpressing of the salutary lesson isnot out of place.

WORDS FROM WASHINGTON

The international programme towhich Mr. Oordell Hull, AmericanSecretary of State, has publiclypledged the United States is un-exceptionable. Its items formallyset out what every really civilisednation must feel constrained toobserve itself and encourage inothers: adherence to internationallaw, achievement of' economic re-construction, respect for observanceof treaties, practice of voluntaryself-restraint in abstention from theuse of force, and preparation tolimit and progressively reducearmaments. In outlook this pro-gramme fits the need of the times;the things to which it pays honourare precisely those scorned notori-ously by the chief troublers of. theworld. Were all the leading Powerssimilarly to pledge themselves,meaning fully what they say, therewould be good ground for hope ofpeace and well-being. A lead in thisdirection by the United Statesshould attract a following capableof bringing a great change for thebetter. But Mr. Hull must bo as

well aware as anybody that a broad-cast declaration of high ideals, sentlike a targetless arrow into the air,can do little to bring this about.These words from Washington havea familiar ring, too familiar tostartle their hearers into earnestrevision of policy. Why not givethem definite directionby embodyingthem in a Note to Governments,including thoso of Germany, Italyand Japan 1 And why not featherthe arrow with details of whatAmerica is prepared to do imme-diately there is an influentialresponse? This might evoke a replyindicating the maximum effort eachPower is now willing to make. Sup-pose this fails, as it may; thenAmerica could usefully approachBritain with a proposal for jointaction, conciliatory but firm, toobstruct disturbers of tho peace.Unfortunately, until more than averbal programme is offered, Mr.Hull's pledging of America willspend itself in the vacuum thatWashington's aloofness has donemost to create.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

STRENGTH THROUGH STRUGGLEr

The Christian Church lias proverb-ially revealed its essential stabilityduring times of persecution, writes"Clearway" in the Christian ScienceMonitor. This being a truism, present-day attacks on the Christian religionmay bo expected to bring forth amongits followers a renaissance of vitality,according to Dr. P. O. Bcrsell, presi-dent of the Evangelical LutheranAtigustana Synod of North America,addressing a convention at New York."While tlio Church never has boon soactively attacked," ho said, "Chris-tians rejoice that this is so, for nothingwill arouse the Church so much as aseeming struggle for life. When Churchorganisations cease to struggle for theirown perpetuation and begin to fightfor the life of the world, the Churchwill win her victory." Ever more im-pressively re-echo the cryptic words:"Whosoever shall lose his life for mysake shall find it."

THE LAST BULLET

For what, then should the risinggeneration fight"! asks Mr. W. Arm-strong, a j'oung Oxford graduate, writ-ing in the Spectator. For fear, love,money, for anything, it does not matterwhat; the result will be the same sea-change. It is as if we, with the othernations, were delegates to a conference,each with a switch at his elbow tofire a mine which might blow the wholelot to glory; just how largo it is, orunder whose chair it is, we do not quiteknow, but we may bo certain that ifa switch is touched, none will comoout unscathed. In these circumstanceswe must confer and co-operate as bestwo may; and if we wish our opinionsto carry weight, we must keep ourswitch in order and our finger on it,so long as we cannot get everyone todismantle the whole apparatus. Sincethe whole scheme would collapse if onoparty thought he had good chances ofsurviving the explosion, wo should giveno ono cause to think that. Meanwhilewe should bo prepared to fight to backour views, but only as literally a lastresort, remembering that to do so isto admit that discussion, reason andevery human hope have failed; whatwe use now is simply the last bulletin the spy's revolver, kept for himself.

WEIGHING THE WAR ISSUE

"Must it be Avar with Japan?" isthe question posed by Professor PaulT. Iloman, writing in the AmericanPolitical Science Quarterly. He reachesthe following conclusions: —The popu-lation of a village, an investment equalto a few blocks of urban real estate,an annual trade the fiftieth part of aNew Deal budget—this is the aggre-gate result of a hundred years ofAmerican enterprise in the Chinesemarket. The tangible stake is a pittancecompared with the cost of fighting forit. If we fight for economic reasons,it will be for a stake in the potentialChinese market, that much-talked-ofend of the Chinese rainbow. The ques-tion is that of the world's two mostpowerful nations (England and theUnited States) taking in hand thedirection of the world's destiny by closediplomatic and military co-operationThe idea is very popular in England. Itis therefore the beginning of wisdomfor Americans to insulate their mindsagainst the invitation to folly withwhich they will no doubt be increas-ingly propagandised in the years justahead.

HAPPY-GO-LUCKY CYCLISTSTho cyclist of to-day is a mystery to

those who filled his saddle in a previ-ous generation, says a writer in theLondon Observer. When the motorbegan to dominate tho roads the im-pression in many quarters was that theknell of cycling had been rung. Butbefore long it was evident that such aconclusion was the reverse of truth.Thero are moro cyclists than ever, andthey seem to bo quite unconscious ofrunning any particular hazard. A greatmany are killed and injured in thecourse of a j'ear, but thero is no sug-gestion of that fact in the demeanourof the thousands who course along thomain roads. No section of the travellingpublic shows a greater zest in its loco-motion. All tho same, it is curious thatcyclists should appear so bitterly op-

posed to.regulations and provisions in-spired mainly by regard for their ownsafety. Tho Transport Advisory Coun-cil, for instance, has just recommendedthat cycle tracks should bo laid out oneach side of main roads, the only dis-sentient being the representative oftho cyclists themselves ( Tho tracksalready existing, as anyone may see,aro despised by the great majority ofriders, and used by not moro than onein ten—tho minority being largelychildren obedient to strict parental in-junction. The National Committee onCycling argues that three-fourths of thoaccidents to cyclists occur at cross-

roads whore tho cycle track is neces-sarily interrupted. But surely the otherfourth would bo worth avoiding.

EMPIRE'S FOREIGN POLICY

The reminder forcibly and oppor-tunely sounded by Mr. Menzies, thoAttorney-General of Australia, at thoChatham House dinner ip London ontho need for consultation with theDominions on important questions offoreign policy gained considerably ininterest from the picture tho speakerdrew of tho six Cabinets of tho Com-monwealth holding a joint sittingsitting through tho medium of wirelesstelephony. Technically, remarks thoSpectator, this would be a perfectlyfeasible proposition, for thero aro do-vices which preclude "listening in," andthough the exercise of effective chair-manship might be difficult, it would notbo impracticable. As things aro, orat any rate as they have been, .Britishpolicy in any crisis has to bo decidedrapidly in Downing Street, and whenoiico it is decided it is difficult for theDominions not to endorse it—thoughDominions are perfectly capable of pre-serving their freedom of action, as thoChanak episode in 1922 clearly showed.Tho advance of modern invention un-questionably simplifies a difficult prob-lem. If Imperial Cabinet meetings bywireless aro still hardly within thorange of the practical, direct and per-sonal conversations between PrimeMinisters, or a Foreign Secretary inWhitehall and Ministers of ExternalAffairs at Ottawa and Canberra andCapo Town and Wellington, present nodifficulty at all. Tho desire of theDominions to have a voice in the shap-ing of policies that may directly affectthem is natural and unmistakable, andthe last excuse for omitting or cur-tailing Imperial discussion iB dis-appearing.

LOCAL AND GENERAL

School Holiday TrafficAn extra express to Wellington has

been arranged for Friday night to copewith additional traffic caused by theclosing of schools for the second termholidays. The train will leave Aucklandat 7.45 p.m., half and hour after thelimited express.

Sharemilking Contracts"In my experience sharemilking con-

tracts are more prolific of litigationthan any other form of agreement,"said Mr.' S. L. Paterson, S.M., duringthe hearing of a lengthy dispute be-tween a sharomilker and a farmer inthe Hamilton Magistrate's Court. Mr.Paterson added: '.'Whether farmersas a class or sharemilkers are quarrel-some, I do not know, but there it is.

Fate of ShowboatNo decision has yet been made as to

the fate of the old sailing ship Colum-bia, better known to Aucklandersduring the past two and a-lialf yearsas the Showboat. The vessel, which wasrecently abandoned to tho AucklandHarbour Board, is still moored at thoeastern reclamation. Tho cabaret fit-tings were recently sold by the Har-bour Board and workmen arc now dis-mantling other usable parts. Thisshould be completed within a few days'time.

Historic Piece ol RockAn historic piece of rock, tho iden-

tification of which by Sir Albert Ellisled to the establishment of the Nauruand Ocean Island phosphate industries,has been placed on exhibition in thogeology hall at the Auckland WarMemorial Museum. The director, Mr.Gilbert Archcy, reported at a meetingof tho council of tho Auckland Insti-tute and Museum yesterday that op-portunity had been taken to make a

general display of tho phosphate rocksof the islands.Difficulties of Retirement

"1 have taken part in many presen-tations but I am realising to-night,something of the feelings of the menwhom I have farewelled in the past,"stated Superintendent S. Till, at afunction at the Central Police Stationlast night, when on his retirement after'lO years' service a presentation wasmade to him. Mr. Till added that itseemed strange not to follow the dailycustom of going to the office, and thefirst two days of his retirement 'hadbeen something like Sundays.

Wanganella's Smooth PassageWhat officers described as the

smoothest passage in 18 monthswas experienced by the Huddart-Parkcr motor-ship Wanganella, whicharrived from Sydney yesterday with178 passengers. Each day was warm andsunny and there was practically nowind. The calmness of the sea was inmarked contrast to the stormy condi-tions which have been experienced bytho motor-ship Salamaua which, withthe small steamer Mako in tow, is pro-ceeding from Auckland to Sydney.Pollution of Beaches

Complaints that the pollution of fore-shores in the harbour has resulted fromthe cleaning of stock trucks by theRailway Department at Otahuhu, therefuse being deposited in a tidal es-tuary, have been received by theManakau County Council, A report wassubmitted to the council at a meetingon Tuesday by the engineer, Mr. W.W. Murray, who investigated thematter with Dr. T. J. Hughes, medicalofficer of health. Tho department is tobe requested to remedy the position byfinding some other method of disposalof the refuse.Reunion of Farmers

To renew friendships made during asix weeks' tour of South Australia, apartj' of New Zealand farmers and theirwives who returned to tho Dominionby tho Wanganella yesterday have de-cided to hold a reunion at the Welling-ton exhibition during tho centenarycelebrations in 1940. Tho party com-prised 38 persons from various partsof the Dominion. On their arrival mem-bers paid warm tributes to tho excel-lent organisation of the leaders, Mr.W. G. Thompson, of Middlemarch, Cen-tral Otago, and Mr. R. H. Lodge, ofMurchison.Teachers' Salaries

Arrangements have been mado tohave teachers' salaries for August paidat tho end of the present term, accord-ing to a letter from the Departmentof Education received at a meeting oftho Auckland Education Board 3'ester-dny. Teachers will thus bo able to drawtho money before leaving for tho vaca-tion. The Treasury, it was stated, hadadvised that amounts would bo lodgedto tho credit of boards in timo to en-able tho payment of teachers' salariesfor August to bo mado on tho last dayof tho term. The schools close at thoend of this week.New Post Office

The buildings on tho sito for tho newWellesloy Street post office aro nownearly demolished, this work beingundertaken by the City Council, fromwhich tho Post and Telegraph Depart-ment secured the land. It is proposedto utilise a strip of tho land facingFergusson Street for tho widening ofthat thoroughfare, an operation whichwill mako an improvement desirablefrom tho aspect of users of tho postoffico. Tho plans for tho new buildingare being prepared by tho Public WorksDepartment in Wellington, and the sizeof the proposed structure has not yetbeen announced.H.M.S. Hood's Ensign for School

A recent addition at the hall ofmemories at tho Waitaki Boys' HighSchool, Oamaru, to historic trophiesand presentations from all parts of thoEmpire is a white ensign from H.M.S.Hood, sent to the hall by Vice-AdmiralSir Geoffrey Blake. Writing fromH.M.S. Hood, Vice-Admiral Blake re-called his visit to tho school whilestationed in New Zealand, and said thatfew things in tho Dominion impressedhim as much as did the hall of memoriesand its splendid rango of Empire sym-bolism. The size of the ensign sent,200 squaro ft. of bunting, recalls thatH.M.S. Hood is tho largest warship intho world.Bullock Drivers' Ohant

Tho building of Maori war canoes isaccompanied by ritual which has beenfollowed in building tho earlier ofPrincess To Plica's fleet of seven fortho Centenary. This fact was mentionedby Mr. M. Leo in an address at theMuseum last night, the speaker stating,however, that as time Was pressing, theritual had, ho understood, been omit-ted in the case of ono canoe. Althoughthere was no ritual in tho ordinaryway, Mr. Leo said, there was never-theless some ceremonial chanting bytho bullock drivers who hauled the sec-tions of the canoe out of tho forest—

tho chanting being a sort of combina-tion of European cursing and Maoripleading.

AIR SERVICETASMAN LINK

START IN JANUARYTRIANGULAR ROUTE

AUCKLAND-WELLINGTONThe transtasman air mail and pas

senK er service, it is understood is to

begin in January, states the Londoncorrespondent of the Hkram>, writing

on July 30. It is intended that it shalcover the triangle of Sydney-Aucklanr -

Wellington. It is fairly certain, how-

over that in the early stages of its

development Auckland will be regardedas the landing base for New Zealandand that there may he a period ot

waiting before the Wellington base

operates.The service is to bo twice weekly,

and it wilt be operated by thiee .flying-boats, now being built at Ilochtf£P It will be controlled by the las-man Empire Airways, Limited whichwill probably become more familiar to

the public as TEAL. Headquartersarc to bo in New Zealand, and thecompany will be controlled jointly' bj

United Kingdom, Australian and NewZealand interests.

Subsidies not DecidedThey will have the co-operation of

Imperial Airways,, the ''chosen instru-

ment" of the United Kingdom Gov-

ernment for the development of ciMl

aviation services. Qantas, and Union

Airways, Limited. The major interestin the New Zealand company will notbe held privately as in the case of the

other two countries, but bv the NewZealand Government. Subsidies are to

be contributed by the three Govern-ments toward the cost of running the

services, but their amount has not yet

been decided. The New Zealand Gov-ernment is to provide facilities for

landing at the bases in accordance with

the recognised practice.Suitability of Auckland

These, briefly, were the points agreedupon at a London meeting this week,no official report on which has yetbeen made. It is understood thatAuckland was regarded as probably themost suitable landing base for the fly-ing-boats in the initial stages of theservice in view of the slight saving inmileage between Sydney and Aucklandas compared with Sydney and Welling-ton. It is understood that the proximityof hills to bases was also a factor takeninto consideration.

The living-boats for New Zealand arenow being built by Sliortt Brothers forImperial Airways. Tliev will be identi-cal in appearance with the Centaurns,with which New Zealaiulers are wellacquainted. Their flying range will bo2000 miles, and it is expected thattliev will carry 12 passengers and amail load of 50001b. Their equipmentwill naturally be of the latest, and willinclude automatic pilots, searchlights,and wireless apparatus similar to thoseused on Atlantic flights. The accessoriesto care for the convenience of pas-sengers will include a kitchen and apantry.

A Crew of FiveThe crew will number five and com-

prise a captain, first officer, wirelessoperator, flight clerk and steward. Thenames of the aircraft have not yetbeen decided, but they will probably

Ibo selected by representatives ofTEAL and Imperial Airways. Asthey are C class flying-boats, and allothers of this type have names begin-ning with C, it is possible that thepractice may also bo applied to thetranstasman service.

The length of the aircraft will be88ft., with a wing span of 114ft. Togive some idea of these measurements,it would be possible for 15 of London'sdouble-deck buses to bo placed side byside along the wing span, while fourplaced end to end would represent thelength.

A map showing the air mail routeappears on Page 15.

FASTEST TIMEDESPATCH FROM LONDON

ONLY TWELVE DAYS

ARRIVING BY THE AWATEATlie fastest time in which air mail

has been brought from England to NewZealand is being made by a consign-ment despatched from London nnderthe Empire "all-up" scheme, which willreach Wellington this morning by theAwatea from Sydney. The mail leftLondon on August 6 and will reachthe Dominion in 12 days.

As a result of the decision announcedyesterday to despatch the liner Awateafrom Wellington to-morrow for Sydney,an earlier connection has been givenfor Empire air mails. Mails for Aus-tralia and the Empire air routes will betaken by the Awatea, replacing the des-patch by tlie Maunganui and reachingLondon on September 1.

This is the arrival date of mails takenby the Tasinan from Wellington toSydney, and sent from Auckland yes-terday, and is two days earlier than iftho letters had been taken by theMaunganui. There will be no altera-tion in the closing time of letters atAuckland, at 4.30 this afternoon.

WHITEBAIT SEASON

BAY OF PLENTY CATCHES

For tho past few days local riversliavo yielded fair catches of whitebait,which have mostly been sold in the dis-trict at prices ranging up to 3s 6d perlb. Little has been sent to othercentres.

Conditions earlier in tho season werevery disappointing owing to tho floods.Further rain to-day will probably affecttlio catches.

A rumour that the Railway Depart-ment had lost a considerable sum ofmoney over the contract for the con-

struction of three gold dredges for theWest Coast was given a prompt denial

in the House of Representatives to-

night by the Minister of Railways, the

Hon. D. G. Sullivan. Earlier in thesitting Mr. K. J. Holyoake (Opposition—Motueka) had given notice of his in-tention to ask the Minister whetherit was a fact that his department hadlost £50,000 over the dredges.

"The construction of the threedredges is being proceeded with in ac-

cordance with the terms of the con-tracts entered into between the Gov-ernment and the companies concerned,"said the Minister, "and no groundsexist for the enforcement of the penaltyclause of the contract or the state-ment that the department stands tolose £50,000 for the enforcement of thepenalty clause.

"Any delay in the construction ofthe dredges is due to the late deliver}of materials and machinery fromabroad in connection with which theGovernment is fully protected. Thecompanies concerned fully appreciatethe position and are doing their utmostto expedite delivery."

EMU'S LONG VIGILSITTING ON SIX EGGS

MALE BIRD AT ZOO

HATCHING TAKES TWO MONTHS[BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION]

■WELLINGTON, WednesdayThe male emu at the Wellington Zoo,

which last year hatched two infantemus, is again sitting on six large blue-green eggs contributed by his mate.The bird faces a two months' vigil.

So eager was the emu to begin sit-ting that no sooner had his mate- laidthe eggs than he literally kicked heroff them, removing a large proportionof her feathers in the process andpunishing her severely. For their ownsafety, the female and the surviver oflast year's chicks, now a well-grownbird, have been removed to an ad-jacent paddock.

The male emu is brooding on bareground, the nest being no more thana slight indentation scratched in theground. It is in almost exactly thesame site as last year. Among birds ofthe emu and cassowary class, it isusual for the male to brood over theeggs. His greater stability of character,determination and patience make themale an exemplary parent.

WELLINGTON, Wednesday

A European bison which has beenfor many years a sober and sedentaryresident of a sequestered corner of theNewtown Zoo recently threw off itsaccustomed lethargy and, careeringwildly round its hillside paddock,stumbled over a tree-root and brokeits nedk.

The bison was kept in a steeplysloping paddock at the back of thezoo, and visitors usually devoted smallattention to it because of its invari-able lack of activity. Recently, how-ever, it took to galloping wildly roundthe paddock. It was found by thekeepers with its neck broken, obviouslyby a violent impact.

AGILE BURGLARSCITY BUILDING RAIDED

4.

HOLES IN CEILINGTHREE PREMISES ENTEREDMONEY AND STAMPS TAKEN"

The premises of throe firms on theupper storey of the Sunday SchoolUnion Building, 32.3 Queen Street, woreraided on Tuesday night by thieves whoclimbed into the space between the roofand the ceiling, forced holes throughthe heavy fibrous plaster and tliendropped lift, on to the floor below.Sums of money were taken in each casebut no attempt was made to interferewith tho valuable stock that wasstored.

As the vestibule of the building wasclosed at 11 o'clock on Tuesday nightby the locking of a heavy iron grille,it is thought that the burglaries mayhave been committed at a compara-tively early hour in the evening. Acaretaker resides on the premises, hutthe work of breaking through theceiling at three points, although re-quiring considerable time and effort,was performed so efficiently that itattracted no attention.

Use of Winch HandleFrom a passage on the upper floor

the intruders scaled a ladder alongsidetho lift well and entered the spacebetween the ceiling and the rootthrough an open manhole near an elec-trical switchboard. With thc-m theytook a large iron winch handle whichis placed alongside the lift to haul upthe cage in an emergency. It wasapparently used to force the large holesthrough the ceiling and give access tothe premises below.

After dropping into the factory ofthe Standard Coat and Costume Com-pany, the intruders opened a high faij-light and entered the .locked office,where they removed petty cash amount-ing to £2 10s and stamps which werevalued at 4s. Union contributionswhich had been left by several mem-bers of the staff in their sewingmachines were not discovered.

Significance of FootprintsThe same procedure was repeated in

the case of the Worthy Clothing Com-pany and the Paul Linmoore Photo-graphic Studio. From the studio os insmall change was secured, while in theclothing company's premises one ofthe burglars wormed his way from thefactory into the office through a tele-X>hone slide which is less than a footin diameter and obtained 10s 3d. Apacket of fancy biscuits which hadbeen purchased for morning tea yes-terday was eaten by the thieves beforethey departed.

In carrying out their unusual methodof entry, the intruders showed markedagility and more than a little daring.Footprints were discovered in severalplaces yesterday and, while one bore aresemblance to an adult boot, anotherpossessed features which suggested thatit might have been made by a child.

PREPAREDNESS POLICY

RAPID MOBILISATION

READY IN EIGHT HOURS

By Telenrraph—Press Association—Copyright(Received August 17, 8.30 p.m.)

PRAGUE, August 17The Czcchoslovakian Supreme

Council of National Defence has de-cided to' adopt an attitude of "im-passive preparedness" toward thoGerman manoeuvres. The councildecided against any mobilisation.

M. Maclmik, the Minister of De-fence,-pointed out that while tholast mobilisation on May 21 was car-ried out in less than 24 hours, thenext one could be completed ineight ho.urs, and thereforo anyimmediate call to tho colours wasnot necessary.

Dr. Derer, .Minister of Justice, andleader of the Slovak section, in a speechat Bratislava, said: "Czechoslovakiacannot disappear like Austria. If anattempt is made against us we willshow wo will not yield to force andallow our independence to bo wrestedaway."

Dr. Derer appealed to the Slovaks forsupport of the Patriotic Front.

Viscount Kunciinan conferred withrepresentatives of tho Sudeten Ger-mans, who, it is understood, do notintend to slam the door, although theyarc not willing to concede much.

The President of Czechoslovakia, Dr.Denes, received Lord Bunciman yester-day and discussed the general situation.

The interview, was unexpected, andwas arranged at the President's ownrequest in view of tho importance ofto-day' B meeting between the PrimeMinister, Dr. Hodza, and the followersof Herr Henlein, leader of the SudetenGermans, who are expected to rejectthe Government's proposals, thus creat-ing a situation of extreme gravity.

BERLIN MARKET SLUMP

CONTRAST IN LONDON

NO SELLING PRESSURE

GERMAN BANKS POWERLESSLONDON, August 10

The calmness .of the markets inLondon contrasts with Berlin, wherereluctance to buy has resulted in theacceleration of the slump.

Although tho gold and foreign ex-change markets in London continue toreflect the political tension the stockmarkets are standing up remarkablywell. Prices are drifting downward inthe absence of buyers, but there areno signs of pressure to sell.

Trade returns offer little comfort, as

indications are that exports will showa further fall in the autumn. Somecommentators consider this due to theexcessive costliness of British products.

The Berlin correspondent of theTimes says further weakness on theBourse reflects not merely anxiety con-corning the State's financial resources,but the urgent need of private

liquidity. The banks, whose short-terra-capital has been requisitioned by Field-

Marshal Gocring, are powerless tobuttress the falling market.

SLOVAK LEADER

FATHER HLINKA DEAD

PART IN POLITICAL LIFE.

..PRAGUE, August 10

The death has occurred of FatherAndreas Hlinka, Slovak autonomistleader.

Andreas Hlinka was born in Septem-ber, 1864, at Cernov, near Rosenberg

in Slovakia, where his father had a

small holding. He studied for the priest-hood, to which ho was dedicated in1889. For some years bo worked atTrich Slacich, which he converted intoa model community with the resultthat in 1895 he was mado cure ofRosenberg. He laboured untiringly forthe welfare of tho town and theGreat War served on various Red Crosscommittees. He did much to awakennational sentiment among the Slovaks.

When the Czechoslovak Republic'J was constituted, Father Hlinka be-

came editor of the Ludove v* iny al ™

chairman of the Slovak People s I artyin the first National Assembly atPrague. In 1919 bo went to the PansPeace Conference to make propagandafor the autonomy of Slovakia on thebasis of tho so-called Pittsburg Agree-ment of .May 30, 1918. To further thisaim he made a tour in America in thoautumn of 1926. After his return hisparty entered the new coalition Govern-ment. In the summer of • 1927 hestrongly opposed tho campaign under-taken Lord Rothermere for a re-vision of tho peace treaties in favourof Hungary, which would have bad aserious effect on Slovakia.

Father Hlinka declared _ that thiscampaign was a last warning to the 'Czechs to fulfil the Pittsburg Agree- ■inent. Writing in the Catholic limesin April, 1928, regarding Lord Rother-fhere's campaign, he said tho Slovaks<lid not-* need any Hungarian protec- 'torate. "''We wish to live on good terms <With Hungary," he said, "but only asgood neighbours and not as subjects."After Professor Tuka, tho Slovakautonomist, had been sent to gaol .fortreason in October, 1929, FatherHlinka, who had worked with him,withdrew his party from the coalitionGovernment, but did not oppose it. Hocaused a sensation in August, 1933, bysleeping aside the entire programme oftho Pribina Festival at Neutra. Hoalso concluded a pact at Neutra withthe other Opposition parties against*lio "Czecho-German Government, inWhich some Czech parties have joinedWith the Germans in order to lord it°ver tho other Slavs."

GERMAN DECREEAUSTRIANS CALLED UP

GREAT MILITARY ACTIVITY

CONSTANT TROOP TRANSPORTS

REGISTRATION OF WOMENBy Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright

LONDON. August 17A decree extends to Austria the

German military law calling up re-servists for training, says the Ber-lin correspondent of the Daily Tele-graph. Great military activity is re-ported throughout Austria, fromInnsbruck to Vienna. There areconstant troop transports and mili-tary trains, consisting of tarpaulin-covered vans, many apparently con-taining guns.

More drastic measures for the con-trol of civilians are to be enforced inGermany, says the Daily Telegraph'sMunich correspondent, and no morepassports will bo issued for travel fromBavaria.

Thousands of men, including thosohitherto exempted on account of physi-cal disabilities, have been ordered toregister for special duties.

Army conscripts discharged last yearhave been recalled and must report notlater than September 12. Night leavefrom barracks lias been cancelled afterAugust 25, when officers on holidayhave been ordered to return.

A state of mobile readiness is to bemaintained in barracks throughoutBavaria.

The registration of women and othernon-combatants is to be completed byAugust 18. Some have already beennotified that they have been allocatedto armament and aircraft factories.Others will relieve men employed inpublic services.

The extent of the manoeuvres hasimpressed members of the DiplomaticCorps, but the impression is growingthat they are intended as a reminderof military power rather than an activethreat, says the Berlin correspondent ofthe Daily Telegraph.

VIOLENCE AGAINST CZECHSBERLIN, August 10

The German newspapers declare theobjects of the German manoeuvres arepeaceful, like those of other countries,on which Germany has not adverselycommented.

The newspapers acclaim ns a reassur--1 ing sign the arrival in Berlin of General

i Yuillemin, Chief of the French Air) Staff, who is to confer with Field-

j Marshal Goering.At the same time, the policy of pre-

. senting the "Czech horror" is daily, continued. Under banner headings,

. "Another Bestial Attempt at Murder,""Czech Terror Marches On," the Vol-kischer Beobacher, chief organ of theNazi party, describes what was appar-ently a schoolboys' fight as a newviolent act of terror.

GERMAN INVECTIVE

COMPLAINTS BY CZECHS

"CAMPAIGN OF INSOLENCE"LONDON, August 12

Czech newspapers complain that Ger-many is trying to create an atmos-phere that will make the success ofLord Runciman's mission to Prague im-possible.

Clandestine plots are attributed tothe Sudeten German "Voluntary Pro-tection Corps." This is only a thinlydisguised body of Nazi Storm Troopers,formed for the purpose of creating in-cidents and clashes, Czech newspapersassert. They protest against a "re-lentless campaign of hatred and in-vective" in Germany.

The campaign is being carried onalso by the Sudeten faction in Czecho-slovakia itself.

The official Czech news agency allegesthat deliberate distortion has beenpractised in order to give the impres-sion that tho German population ofCzechoslovakia is terrified by theCzechs.

Czech newspapers complain also thatthe Polish wireless network "quotesand repeats all German attacks upontho Czechs without comment or criti-cism."

A protest against Germany's "cam-paign of insolence" was made to-dayby the official Czech broadcast. Thiscampaign, it said, was directed againsttho efforts of France and Britain topreserve European peace.

The latest suggestion from the Ger-man press is that tho Sudeten Ger-mans may bo forced to adopt"measures of self-defence against theCzech terror."

POLITICAL FUNERALMURDERED SUDETEN

GERMANS ACCUSE CZECHS

INFLAMMATORY SPEECH

SWASTIKA SIGN IN SKYBy Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright

PRAGUE, August 12"Red, murdering rogues commit-

ted this outrage," said Herr Frank,a leader of the Ilenlein SudetenGerman party, at the funeral to-dayof Wenzel Beierl, a murderedSudeten German.

Massed swastika flags draped thegrave at Glascrwald when Beierlwas buried. He was acclaimed a

political martyr by the disgruntledSudeten German faction after hisdeath in a tavern brawl.

For clays Sudeten ami German news-papers have accused the Czechs of his

1 murder. The Czech Government deniedthat the killer was a Czech.

In his graveside oration, Herr Franksaid: "The Beds who did this are notfitted to he called Germans; they arenot Germans, but traitors."

Czech police, in spiked helmets, andcarrying Mausers, sullenly watched theflag-covered coflin lowered into thegrave.

The silence was broken by a cryfrom the bowed figure of Beierl'smother. Huddled in a black shawl, shecried: "Oh, my son, Wenzel I Oh, myson!"

In stiff ranks 5000 members of theHenlein Nazi party paraded at thecemetery. In spite of the tense atmos-phere, there were no incidents.

The inflammatory theatricals of thepoli t icn 1 funeral fudicate that theSudetens are determined to provoke theissue between Germany and Czecho-slovakia.

A German aeroplane which flew overthe Czech frontier was guilty of "de-risive cynicism," the Czechs assert. Itmado a swastika smoke screen over-Czech territory.

Before re-crossing the frontier theaeroplane fired a coloured rocket. Thiswas the second flight over Czechfrontiers in two days. The CzechCharge d'Affaires in Berlin protestedto the German Foreign Office.

HOLDING THE RHINEGERMAN FORTIFICATIONSBLOCKHOUSES AND GUNS

MENACE TO FRENCH FRONTIERLONDON, August 10

The formidable strength of tho Ger-man "Siegfried line" of fortificationsand its menace to tho French frontierare described in the Paris Soir.

Every 160 yards a blockhouse risesalong the line, a special article states.It needs only the pressing of a buttonand tho French electricity station ofKeinbs, so important to defence, wouldbo bombarded.

Tho rock of Limbourg, near Markol-sheim, which is crowned by an oldHapsburg castle, is now the Gibraltarof the Rhine. Big guns dominate Col-mar and Strasbourg and the strategicrailways of Alsace.

Between Bhinau and Strasbourg (30miles), 28 blockhouses have been com-pleted and 300 others are being built.Each has five machine-guns, two mor-tars and two flame-throwers, togetherwith underground shelters. Some 200yards behind is tho second line of de-fence, with rough trenches and barbedwire.

The main line of blockhouses, which,it is reported, can bo completed bySeptember 15, is on the very edge ofthe Rhine. When it is pointed outthat winter floods might overflow intotho blockhouses, German techniciansreply that the line is intended only tosafeguard a passage till about the endof September. By then the occasionwould have passed as the blockhousesare purely defensive.

When the lino is complete its firewill command every square yard of theFrench bank of the Rhine and 30,000men can hold the line. Palisades ofreeds and timber have hidden the worksince June 26.

Fully 10,000 men have worked dayand night at fortifying Rhinau, thecentre of a double railway joining allthe blockhouses.

The Germans have again fortified therock of Istern, from which guns cancommand the industrial basin of Mul-house and the pass of Belfort. Aftera few minutes of firing Alsace wouldlack electric power, the article con-cludes.

SEVEN YEARS IN GAOL

INSPIRED BY JEALOUSY

VICTIM'S LUCKY ESCAPE

[by TELECIUPn—OWN CORRESPONDENT]GISBORNE, Wednesday

"You are guilty of an appalling crimoinspired oy jealousy. You sought toinjure another woman and carried outyour fiendish work with diabolical de-liberation," said Mr. Justice Quilliamin the Supreme Court to-day, in sen-tencing Rebecca Haerewa, a Maoriwoman, to seven years' hard labour forarson at Waipiro Bay Hotel.

Appearing for tho prisoner, Mr. L. T.Burnard stated that many circum-stances had combined to lead up to thocrime. Haerewa had been left with ayoung family. The woman herself hadworked very hard on a farm. Her sec-ond son was employed in connectionwith the Waipiro Bay Hotel, wherelived tho woman whom Haerewa hadused as a go-between in arranging meet-ings with a man with whom she was inlove, but to whom her father was op-posed.

Cause of EstrangementOn ono occasion tho woman at tho

hotel had taken her boy to Gisbornoand left him stranded there withoutmoney or friends, continued counsel.The boy had ridden a borrowed bicyclehomo to Waipiro Bay, arriving in acondition which kept him in bed forweeks. This caused an estrangement be-tween the two women and Haerewa'sformer friend had then used her posi-tion to alienate the man in the case.Tho result was that tho prisoner hadlost her lover.

Other circumstances combined to ac-count for a temporary loss of reasonon tho part of Haerewa. continued Mr.Burnard. She had received from herfather some months ago a blow witha stick which had necessitated hospitaltreatment. This had led to a disturb-ance of that part of tho brain whichgoverned conduct. Sho had also hadfurther trouble with her health.

" Diabolical Deliberation "

Addressing the prisoner His Honorcharacterised her criino as an appallingone, carried out from motives of jeal-ousy and with diabolical deliberation.

"You waited to see that this womanhad gone into the building and thenwaiter! a further period to allow hertime to retire. You then saturated thoplace with kerosene and set fire to thobuilding,'' stated His Honor.

"Fortunately the fire was discovered'in time. Othei'wiso this woman wouldhave perished ancl fivo other innocentpeople occupying tho building wouldhave been endangered. If that, fire hadnot been discovered you would now boin tho dock facing charges involvingthe supreme penalty. You knew thequality of your act. You knew that itwas wrong.

An unusual request for an increasein rates was received by tho PinkoCounty Council at its monthly meetingfrom tho Springdale branch of thoFarmers' Union. Tho request urged thattho council adopt a progressive policyof road sealing and make tho necessaryrate increase. Tho riding member forWaitoa, Mr. D.

"If there aro farmers in this districtwho aro Avilling to load their farms foranother 30 years, they have a perfectright to do so," said tho chairman, Mr.W. C. Kennedy. "If they take my ad-vice, however, they will leave it alone."

Tho council decided to inform thobranch that it was not its policy toincrease the indebtedness of tho countyat tlio present time, but tbat tho policyof progressively sealing tho roads ineach riding would bo pursued withoutincreasing the standing rates.

DAY WAGES MENWEEKLY BATE OF £4 |PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEES

RETROSPECTIVE TO JULY 11*

TIME LOST THROUGH RAIN

[BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION]WELLINGTON, Wednesday

Tho Government was recently askedby tho New Zealand Workers' Unionto compensate men employed on daywages under public works agreementsfor time lost through wet weather. Itis understood that tho Cabinet hasfixed a weekly rate of £4 to operatefrom July 11. The, new conditions applyto all men on day wages who aro re-ceiving up to 2s 3d an hour on publicworks jobs and forestry lands and toa number on tho railways. In the pastno payment was mado for time lostthrough wet weather.

Workers will ho entitled to mako uptime lost within a four-weekly periodby working up to four hours on Satur-day mornings. Workers who comeunder tho general labourers' awardhave the right at present to mako uptime lost through wet weather in tho6ame week by working half an hourextra on week days and up to fourhours on Saturday mornings.

So far no general provision has beenmade for payment for lost time tolabourers employed on subsidised localbody works. It is claimed that thesemen should bo entitled to tho samoconditions as now apply to labourersemployed under public works agree-ments. This has been frequently dis-cussed by union officials and employ-ing authorities in an attempt to cometo suitablo arrangements.

It is expected that a Ministerialstatement will bo made soon, outliningthe new conditions.

In keeping with the prediction madein the Herald this morning an officialannouncement was made to-day by thoPrime Minister, Mr. Savage, that theservices of Mr. C. G. Scrimgeour weroto bo retained as controller of com-mercial broadcasting. Mr. Savage madeit clear that no restrictions would beplaced on Mr. Scrimgeour's futuretalks. He would just carry on.

"Mr. Scrimgeour simply placed himselfin my hands and my attitude was madeclear when the question was discussedin the House last week," Mr. Savagesaid. "The story really started beforethe last election and came to a climaxwhen the well-known jamming incidenttook place. When we decided to in-stitute commercial broadcasting Mr.Scrimgeour was looked on as the bestman in tho country for the job, largelybecause of his make-up and generaloutlook, but he has been subjected tosevere criticism right up to the presentday."

Mr. Savage said he did not defendthe outburst of Mr. Scrimgeour overthe air last Sunday week, but, as hehad said in the House, ho could wellunderstand it. Both he and Mr. Scrim-geour had received communicationsfrom all over the Dominion asking thatthe latter should be retained as con-troller of commercial broadcasting.

"Mr. Scrimgeour came to the con-clusion that the best thing for himto do was to place himself in the handsof the Prime Minister," Mr. Savagecontinued. "Well, the Prime Ministersays he is going on with the job. Thatis the thing in a nutshell."

Certain other pieces of carving neces-sary for tlie facade of the New Zealandcourt will shortly be forwarded fromRotorua to America.

SOCIAL SECURITY COSTSDEBATE ON BILL

■full sitting occupied

FEW POINTS OF INTEREST

benefits and burdens

MR. SAVAGE MAY SPEAK TO-DAY

[BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER.!WELLINGTON, Wednesday

Tim entire-sitting of the House of'Representatives to-day was given overto a continuation of the second readingdebate on the Social Security Bill. Inspite of the all-embracing nature of thelegislation and the interest which ithas aroused throughout the country,there were at least two occasions onwhich the discussion nearly collapsedand the indications are that the pass-age of the bill through Parliament maynot be as protracted as was originallyexpected.

Only rare points of interest arosefrom to-day's contributions to the de-bate. The Leader of the Opposition,the Hon. A. Hamilton, spoke for an-other half an hour, completing thespeech which was interrupted by theadjournment last night. His principalcontention was that the Governmentwas not justified in stating that it wasoffering free benefits under the schemeas the financial provisions had the ef-fect of bringing everyone into thetax-gatherer's net and making thempay for everything they received.

The leading Government speaker ofthe day was Mr. A. H. Nordmeyer(Oaniaru), who was chairman of theNational Health and SuperannuationCommittee which investigated the Gov-ernment's original proposals. Mr. Nord-meyer devoted most of his time, to areply to the criticism of the healthproposals which has been put forwardby the New Zealand branch of the Brit-ish Medical Association.

The speeches of back-bencherslargely dealt with generalities and thestandard of the debate fell in con-sequence. However, there is a possibil-ity that the Prime Minister, Mr. Sav-age, may enter the discussion to-mor-row night prior to his departure onFriday for a tour of North Auckland.

The House adjourned to-night at10,30 o'clock.

POOR VALUE FOR PRICE- NEBULOUS ARGUMENTS

ATTACK BY MR. HARGEST *

[BY TELEGRAPH SPECIAL REPORTER!WELLINGTON, Wednesday

The suggestion that the social securityproposals of the Government were verypoor value for the price the peoplewould have to pay for them was madeby Mr. J. Hargest (Opposition—Awarua) when speaking on the SocialSecurity Bill in the House of Repre-sentatives to-night.

"Members of the Government talkTery glibly about human values," Mr.Hargest said, "and much of their argu-ment is on those nebulous lines. We onthe Opposition side of the House areConcerned first of all with the abiliti-es th° country to carry the scheme,but when the members of the Govern-ment suggest that we are not con-

iwrned with the social uplift of tliopeople, I would point out that longbefore they came into power, and be-

fore some of -them thought of comingto New Zealand, Governments of thekind we represent voted for humanvalues."

Mr. Hargest said the Covernme-nthad brought a "competent actuary, Mr.G. H. Maddex. to New Zealand, bulin computing the cost of the schemethe'Minister of Finance had adjustedMr. Maddex's figures to suit his ownpurpose. It was marvellous finance, but.it remained to be seen whether itwould stand the test of time. Thepeople would have to pay for thescheme, but those who would pay mostwould be those who had been thriftyand had tried to save something fortheir old ngc. They received very littlesympathy from the Government party.

TAXATION NETALL TO BE CAUGHT

LEVY ON WORKING YOUTHS

"NOTHING FREE IN BILL"

[BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER]WELLINGTON, Wednesday

"There is nothing free in this bill atall," said the Leader of the Opposi-tion, tho Hon. A. Hamilton, in con-cluding his speech on the second read-ing of the Social Security Bill in theHouse of Representatives to-day. Thetax gatherer's not was being spread tocatch everyone, Mr. Hamilton added,and the ultimate cost would work outat something like 2s 6d in the pound.

"Boys and girls aged from 10 to 20will be brought under the tax-gatherer's net," said Mr. Hamilton.Not only will they have to contributeIs in the pound if they are earningwages, but they will also have to re-gister and pay the 5s annual levywhether they are earning or not. Thiswill bring into the Treasury an addi-tional £150,000 a year taken fromyoung people who are just starting tomake their way in life."

Domestic Worker's ContributionDomestic workers had been exempt

from employment taxation, Mr. Hamil-ton continued, but now 011 a weeklywage of 30s and an allowance of £1a week for keep the domestic workerwould be expected to pay 2s 6d a weekout of 30s, as well as the annual levy.That provision would bring in £50,000in tax taken from people whoso serviceswere greatly needed.

The Minister of Finance, the Hon.tW. Nash: Will you tell them what they

' will got at the same time.Mr. Hamilton: They won't get any-

thing in superannuation until theyroach the age of 65.

Previously it had been the practiceto exempt the first £SO of a woman'sincome from employment taxation,Mr. Hamilton said, but now the con-tribution would be taken from all in-come. This would mean a direct taxof £200,000 a year on- women, manyof whom were in straitened circum-stances. Similarly relief workers wouldbe required to contribute another£200,000.

"Paying 2s 6d in the Pound""The Minister has been making

great claims about free doctors, freemedicines, free hospitals and freematernity services," continued Mr.Hamilton, "but actually there is noth-ing free in this bill. Everyone will berequired to pay Is in tho pound indirect wages tax, Is in the pound inother taxation which will be divertedfrom the Consolidated Fund, and an-other 6d in the pound to meet the eostof unemployment relief. Everyone aged16 years and over will have to pay2s 6d in the pound."

The mounting cost of social serviceswas referred to by Mr. Hamilton, whosaid that tho total amount involvedhad increased from £7,144,000 in 1935to £11,872,000 last year, with an esti-mate of £12,774,000 for the currentfinancial year. In 1940 tho cost wouldbe £21,000,000, which meant that ex-penditure would have' trebled in fiveyearsk

Full Superannuation at Age of 91The superannuation scheme outlined

in the bill, saicj Mr. Hamilton, wouldgive the people 3s lOd a week whenthey reached the age of 65, providedthat did not happen before 1910-41,with an increase of lid a week in eachsucceeding year. The first people to re-ceive the new superannuation in twoyears' time would get 3s lOd a weekwhen they were 65; 13s 5d a weekwhen they were 75; 23s Id a weekwhen they were 85; and 30s a weekat the age of 91.

"Tho person who reaches the ago of65 in 1941 will receive the full pensionof 30s a week when he is 90 years ofage," Mr. Hamilton added, "and theperson who is 75 years of ago to-daywill receive the full pension after hehas had his 102ml birthday.

Separate Finances Advocated"The fundamental principle of super-

annuation is that it should be divorcedfrom other schemes and that itsfinances should be kept entirely separ-ate. Under the Government's schemesuperannuation finance is

,mixed

up with pensions finance, healthfinance and the Consolidated Fundand we will never know whetheror not the fund is really sound.Under the scheme advocated bythe Opposition finance will be keptseparate and funds will be held in trustfor the people."

Mr. Hamilton recounted the conclu-sions reached by the three Oppositionmembers who sat 011 the NationalHealth and Superannuation Committeeand stated that there was no disputebetween the Government and the Oppo-sition regarding increased social ser-vices. However, the application of thoGovernment's scheme called for closeinvestigation.

"We favour the operation of asuperannuation scheme long before1967," Mr. Hamilton said. "With re-gard to pensions wo hold that it isbetter to play safe and keep to therate we can pay for certain rather thanrisk the Government's gamble and thepossible crash of the -whole system. Asfor a health service, it is better to pro-vide a full service for those who needit than a partial service for many whodo not want it."

"No party in this House is moreanxious to help those who need helpthan are the members of the Opposi-tion," said the Hon. J. G. Cobbe (Op-position—Oroua) during the debate onthe Social Security Bill in the Houseof Representatives to-night.

rlho evidence placed before theSpecial Parliamentary Committee whichexamined the Government's proposals.Mr. Cobbe said, showed that the schemewas far from being what it professedto be. It would inflict hardship uponthousands of wage-earners, farmers,businessmen, persons on fixed salariesand those in receipt of small incomesfrom investments.

Effect on Present SchemesSerious embarrassment would be

caused to many successful superannu-ation schemes at present in operation.I here was occasion for strong suspicionthat in pursuance of its avowed social-istic objective the Government wasreally aiming at the socialisation ofevery health or superannuation schemeat present in operation.

A further reason for strong mis-giving on the part of the Opposition,Mr. Cobbe continued, had been causedby the definite refusal of the Govern-ment to allow the committee to hearany evidence on the financing of thoproposals. The Government was build-ing upon a shaky foundation if it as-sumed that the national income was£150,000,000 and that it would con-tinue at that figure. Such an assump-tion was contrary to all experience.

"To assume an arbitrary figure forour national income and to depend011 the realisation of such an assump-tion is the acme of folly," said Mr.Cobbe. "Before the Government ex-pects the House to pass this bill inits present form it should prove con-clusively that the income of the coun-try will be sufficient to carry out thepromises tho bill contains without in-flicting extreme hardship 011 the realproducers of that income.

Sound Basis Essential"A very important matter to ho

considered in connection with thescheme is the effect that the enormouscost is likely to have upon the renewalof the £17,000,000 loans falling duoshortly. We are all aware that NewZealand Government stocks haveslumped in London. That slump is notclue to what the Government calls awhispering campaign, but to theblatant socialism that Ministers andtheir obedient followers have beenshouting: from the housetops."

The Opposition was in favour of asystem of superannuation based onsound principles and without any"means test," said Mr. Cobbe. The Op-position favoured any well consideredplan approved by the recognised headsof the medical profession for improvingthe health of the people. The Govern-ment should bring down a scheme thatwas not ,1 mere electioneering artifice,but one that had a sound financial basisand would not inflict severe hardshipupon the most industrious and enter-prising of the peopie.

HUMAN VALUES

BASIS FOR THE BILL

MR. W. J. LYON'S PHILOSOPHY[BY TELEGRAPH SPECIAL REPORTER]

WELLINGTON, WednesdaySupport for the Social Security Bill

on the grounds that it was based on anappreciation of human values was voicedby Mr. W. J. Lyon (Government—Waitemata) during the debate on themeasure in the House of Represen-tatives to-night.

" There are people who say thatsuperannuation schemes are already inexistence and that the bill involves un-necessary duplication," said Mr. Lyon."Those same people during the depres-sion compulsorily retired hundreds ofcivil servants on an actuarial computa-tion and left them at starvation level.

" These people weigh up everythingon the basis of pounds, shillings andpence and not of human values. Theirassumption that New Zealand is notgoing to progress in the next 40 yearsas it has in the last 40 years is merelyanother manifestation of the old de-pression complex."

In some quarters, Mr. Lyon added,the bill had been described as nothingmore than an electioneering proposi-tion.

Opposition Members: Hear, hear.Mr. Lyon: Well, judging by the atti-

tude of the Opposition it must be a goodbill.

"The people are. entitled to food,clothing and shelter," Mr. L.yon con-tinued. "If we cannot afford it underthe orthodox system we must attain itby unorthodox mothods."

MEDICAL SERVICENEED OF LEGISLATIONMR. NORDMEYER'S CLAIMS

GOVERNMENT AND DOCTORS

A PLAIN ANSWER GIVEN[I3V TELEGRAPH —SPECIAL REPORTER]

WELLINGTON, Wednesday

Reference to the attitude of thedoctors toward the health insuranceproposals was made by Mr. A. 11.Nordmeyer (Government—Oainaru) inhis second reading speech on the SocialSecurity Hill in the House of Repre-sentatives to-day. Mr. Nordmeyer,who was chairman of the special Par-liamentary committee replied to pointsraised by the president of the NewZealand branch of the British MedicalAssociation, Dr. J. P. S. Jamicson.

Both inside and outside the House,said Mr. Nordmeyer, the Oppositionhad suggested that all that was neces-sary was a more adequate service forthe poor and needy. The very oppositewas the case. There was hardly anysection of the community that couldface a lc-ng, expensive and critical ill-ness. When the health insurancescheme in England was about to bointroduced the doctors there were thor-oughly opposed to it, but after it hadbeen in operation for some time theythemselves asked for its extension.

"Unwarranted Assumption""Last night and this morning," said

Mr. Nordmeyer, "thero appeared inthe daily press a statement to theeffect that the medical men had seenfit to indicate to the Government thatthey had severed, as it were, diplomaticrelations. Surely it is an unwarrantedassumption that because a section ofthe medical men prefer the B.M.A.scheme to the Government's schemethe medical men will not work in withthe Government.

"The Government does stand for theprinciple of collective bargaining," con-tinued Mr. Nordmeyer. "It hopes tohave the goodwill of the majority ofthe profession, but no Governmentworthy of the name would allow thecommunity to suffer under an imper-fect medical system merely because thedoctors were not enthusiastically infavour of the Government."_Mr. S. G. Holland (Opposition—

Christehureh North) : What will youdo about it?

Government in Earnest"That is a matter for the Govern-

ment to determine from time to time."said Mr. Nordmeyer. "The PrimeMinister stated in ail interview yester-day that if the British Medical Asso-ciation withheld its co-operation whenthe legislation came into force, iheGovernment would have to considerfaking other steps. That is a calm anda plain answer to the medical men.

"It indicates that, notwithstandingany advice that the doctors have re-ceived, the Government is thoroughly111 earnest in its intention to proceedwith this scheme, because it believesthat it is in the interests of the com-munity as a whole and that thecommunity as a whole wants the Gov-ernment to put it 011 the StatuteBook."

Mr. Holland: Is that a threat?Mr. Nordmeyer said that Mr. Hol-

land could- take it as a threat if heliked. It was not uttered as a threatbut as a plain statement of fact. Whileit was true that many people made orattempted to make provision to meetthe burden of sickness costs, it wasalmost impossible for them thoroughlyto meet demands that fell upon themfrom time to time.

Lapsed Insurance PoliciesMany did attempt to meet the needs

of old age or other vicissitudes of lifeby taking out insurance policies, Mr.Nordmeyer continued. ]t was interest-ing to iiote, however, that during thelast five years 43,590 policies in theordinary life branches had lapsed. Overthe same period no fewer than 132,321industrial insurance policies had lapsed.The face value of the latter amountedto £7,050,461. No doubt there was atragic story behind the lapsing ofevery one of those policies.

The Opposition, said Mr. Nordmeyer.had suggested that the country couldnot stand the cost, but if the. peoplewere to provide for themselves anamount similar to that which the Stateprovided the country could afford itin that case. Surely there could bo nogreater inconsistency than that.

The bill was calculated to have a far-reaching effect upon the destinies oftens of thousands of people, Mr. Nord-meyer added. It had been conceivedand had attained legislative form onlyafter the most careful thought, themost careful scrutiny of every provi-sion and the most careful investigationon the part of the Government, notonly of the immediate, but also of theremote consequences of bringing thescheme into being.

DOCTORS' ADVICEPREVENTIVE MEDICINETHE MORE PRESSING NEED

HOUSING AND NUTRITION

[by telegraph—OWN correspondent]WELLINGTON, Wednesday

" The promotion of health is agreater object to be aimed at by theState than the treatment of sickness,although the latter is not to be under-estimated; and national health insur-ance, being merely a system of indem-nification for sickness, does not materi-ally advance the greater object."

Jn emphasising this in an officialstatement issued to-day regarding theGovernment's national health andsuperannuation scheme, the New Zea-land branch of the British MedicalAssociation declares that the Govern-ment would have been better advised ifit had just devoted itself to improvinghousing and working conditions, theprovision of domestic help and betternutrition and prophylactic or preven-tive methods, and the development ofresearch.

Dealing with the question of nutri-tion, the association states:—" Everydoctor notices in his daily work afrequency of nutrition defects, especi-ally in children, which is out of keep-ing with the plenitude of wholesomenourishment this country affords. It isbut necessary to choose a few of thewell-nourished in any group, whether ofa school class, territorial cadets orhealth camp, to see how far short ofgood standards too large a proportionfalls." Remedy of the conditions causing

those things, and education in the valueof the natural produce furnished in suchvariety and abundance by this countryto suit ever} individual taste and re-quirement of omnivorous man, will domore for the people than all the dietarysystems in vogue or the entire nationalhealth insurance formulary of medica-ments."

WELLINGTON, WednesdayThe hope tliilt it will be found pos-

sible in thn future for the medical pro-fession to offer a measure of assistancethat will enable tlrj people of NewZealand to the full benefit of theGovernment's proposed health servicesis expressed by the Minister of Health,the Hon.

In a letter ad-dressed to the Minister this week, Dr.Jamieson said that as long as the prin-ciple of a universal general practi-tioner service remained in the SocialSecurity Bill the association could offerno further co-operation to the Govern-ment.

"I regret that the association is notprepared to offer further co-operationin regard to the national health sectionof the social security proposals," saysthe Minister in his letter. "Pleaseaccept mv thanks for the assistancethe association has found itself ableto extend up to the present moment.I hope that it will bo found possiblein the future for the association

COMMENT IN LONDON

SOCIALISING THE PROFESSION

EXPERIENCE IN ENGLANDLONDON, August 1G

The Daily Telegraph says New Zea-land is at present a land of boldSocialist experiment, but it is doubt-ful whether the attempt to socialisethe medical service will prove popular.

The paper adds that the proposedstandardisation will markedly affect thestatus of the profession, and also denyto the patient the satisfaction of thevery human wish to command and enjoyhis doctor's direct personal interest.

The British experience is that manypeople entitled to free treatment preferto select their own doctor and pay forthe privilege.

The News Chronicle, commenting onthe New Zealand Social Security Bill,describes the doctors' attitude as an-other rearguard action against the ideaof a State medical service. The prospectof becoming part of a nation-wide ser-vice does not please them, hut no doubtthey will get used to the idea.

British doctors orginally refused tooperate the national health scheme butsoon found that opposition was useless.

POLITICAL SIDESAVOIDANCE URGED

THE HON. P. FRASER'S APPEAL

FAITH IN MEDICAL MEN

IMPORTANCE OF CO-OPERATION

[BY TELEGRAPH-—PRESS ASSOCIATION]WELLINGTON. Wednesday

An appeal to the medical professionnot to take sides with the Oppositionon the issue of health services was madeby the Minister of Health, the Hon.P. Eraser, when addressing a meetingof Labour Party supporters in hiselectorate, Wellington Central.

"1 hope we will have no quarrel withthe British Medical Association," saidMr. Fraser. "I give the right to any-body to look after the interests of hisprofession, organisation or anythingelse. 1 have no quarrel with the BritishMedical Association, nor has the Gov-ernment, foi expressing its view re-garding a very important work whichcannot be carried forward without itsco-operation, but I would ask its mem-bers not to take political sides, to pushtheir own point of view as strenuouslyas possible, but not to get mixed up ina political fight.

Help of Others"If there are any further representa-

tions from the British Medical Associa-tion we are quite willing to discussthem, because we feel the question ofthe health of the people to be over-whelmingly important," Mr. Frasersaid.

The Minister said he seemed to havemore faith in the medical professionthan some of its own protagonists. Heremembered that in the depressiondoctors arose to help those who couldnot help themselves, and he did notbelieve that under a universal healthscheme the profession would act in away detrimental to the interests of thepeople.

Promoting HealthMr. Fraser said he was rather sur-

prised to hear the Hon. A. Hamiltonsay that part of 'the Opposition schemewas to make provision for the preven-tion of sickness. He himself thoughtthe question of promoting health wasmuch more important than that ofcuring people. Some time ago theBritish Medical Association said it con-sidered some attention should be givento housing, fresh air. nutrition andphysical education generally. Now theysaw Mr. Hamilton bring it up as a newdiscovery. Jt was a little late, becauseall the matters he had suggested hadalready been taken in hand by theGovernment,

"There is nothing in the way ofhealth preservation and combating ofdiseases the Government will not do,"Mr. Fraser concluded. "Whenever theMedical Research Council is preparedto undertake a bigger programme, asMinister of Health I say it will havemy fullest support."

BUSINESS IN ANNUITIES

VERY FEW EVER SOLD

MR. A. S. RICHARDS' OPINION[BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER]

WELLINGTON. Wednesday

A discussion of the Social SecurityBill from the standpoint of insuranceprinciples was put forward by Mr. A.S. .Richards (Government—Roskill) inthe House of Representatives to-night.

Many arguments had been advancedregarding the provision of superannu-ation under private enterprise, said Mr.Pic-hards. It was held that people couldtake out life insurance policies matur-ing at certain ages and then nse themoney for the purchase of annuities.

In actual practice very few annuitieswere ever sold by the insurance com-panies. One large company operatingin New Zealand had issued last year13,480 now jkuHcs, instiling n sum ofmore than £6,<*00,000. In t!w sameperiod it had swirl only 57 annuities ofa total value of £5.'?,622.

"It is no use depending on any in-sure '[(■(' ■.!!• ! at .-ill," said Mr. Rich-ards "The: l* is ;'ot a single insuranceoffice which can give- to the publicthe benefit which the Government pro-poses in return for a contribution ofIs in the £l."

TAX EXEMPTIONMETHOD CRITICISEDORDER-IN-COUNCIL LAW

"A MISCHIEVOUS PROVISION"[by telegraph—own correspondent]

THAMES, Wednesday

"It is a matter for very real regretthat the Social Security Bill containsone of the most dangerous violationsof constitutional principle yet put onthe Statute Book by the LabourParty," said Professor R. M. Algie,organiser of the Auckland ProvincialFreedom Association, to-night, whenlecturing on the legislative steps ofthe Government toward complete social-ism in New Zealand.

"The bill itself provides for the im-position of a tax which is to be borneby the community as a whole," Profes-sor Algie said. "Section 110, however,declares that the Governor-Generalmay, by Ordor-in-Cotmeil, exempt anyspecified classes of persons in wholoor in part from payment of the socialsecurity contribution if, on grounds ofpublic policy, he deems it advisable soto do. This is a most mischievous anddangerous provision.

No Control by Parliament"A bill declares that a tax shall be

imposed, but the Governor-General, onthe advice of his Ministers and withoutany reference at all to Parliament, candeclare that any particular class ofpersons shall be free from all liabilitylo pay that tax. This can be giveneffect to merely by the publication in,the Gazette of an Order-in-Council tothat effect, and the Order need notcome before Parliament.

"Here, then, we have a provisionwhich completely undermines theauthority of Parliament and eliminatesits control over the operation of itsown statute. Parliiynent imposes a taxand the political party in power can.say that a given section of the com-munity need not pay it. If any classof people is to be exempted from thethe payment of a tax imposed on thewhole community, then that exemptionshould be granted only after a full,free and open discussion in Parliamentitself.

Socialistic Principles"When questioned on this point, the

Minister of Finance, the Hon. W.Nash, sought to explain the matterb.v declaring that this particular exemp-tion had been designed to meet par-ticular cases of hardship, but this isnot strictlj' correct, because there isin the next following section of thebill a full and sufficient power to meetoases of hardship, Mr. Nash alsostated that there was no danger inthe section which provided for theexemption of particular classes, addingthat the provisions were similar tothose which had long been part andparcel of the Land and Income Tax-Act.

"This explanation is not satisfactory.Anyone ivho will read section 110 ofthe Social Security Bill and compareit with section 169 of the Land andIncome Tax Act will find that the twoprovisions are just about as differentand distinct as they could well be.

"The social security provision under-mines the power and authority ofParliament," Professor Algie added,"but it is in complete harmony withthose socialistic principles, the aim ofwhich is to weaken the control of Par-liament and to transfer all authorityas far as possible to Ministers and toheads of Government departments."

OPPOSITION COMPLAINTINTERPRETATION OF CLAUSE

NO SATISFACTORY ANSWER

COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS

[BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER*!"WELLINGTON, Wednesday

Speaking on the Social Security Bill.in the House of Representatives to-night Mr. W. J. Broadfoot (Opposition—Waitomo) said that the Prime Minis-ter, Mr. Savage, told the country be-fore the last election that the LabourParty had a scheme ready by whicheverybody over the ago of 60 wouldreceive superannuation. The schemewas supposed to be complete, but theactivities of the select committeeshowed that it was not ready.

Members of the Opposition on thecommittee, he added, had even beendenied certain evidence that they hadasked for and some witnesses were notgiven a fair spin when it was apparentthat their evidence would conflict withthe preconceived ideas of the Govern-ment.

Mr. A. H. Nordmeyer (Government—Oamaru) said Mr. Broadfoot had mis-represented him because the chairmanof the committee had no power to callwitnesses except by express resolutionof the committee.

Mr. Broadfoot said the Oppositionparticularly asked for an interpretationof section 110 of the bill defining thepowers of a commissioner to exemptindividuals or groups from the pro-visions of the legislation, but no satis-factory answer had been given.

"I regard this section of the bill asentirely dangerous and objectionable,"Mr. Broadfoot said. "It is a blanketclause giving power to the commissionerto exempt any section of the commun-ity without reference to Parliament.Exemption can be made by Order-in-Council, about which the Governmentwas so bitter when we were in power.The danger lies in the power given bythis clause to exempt, not because ofhardship, but because of public policy."

EFFECT ON WEATHERCYCLES OF SUNSPOTS

LECTURE BY DR. BULLEN

An address on sunspots and theirpossible effect on the weather was givenby Dr. K. E. Bullcn to the AucklandAstronomical Society last night. Dr.liullen said there seemed to be a de-finite relation between sunspots andthe weather, but the analysis was com-plicated by many other superimposedphenomena. Although caution wasneeded in making correlations from only70_ years' rainfall figures, the resultsfor Auckland seemed to show a markedagreement with the sunspot cycles.

"We need no reminding that 1938has been a year of- exceptional rain-fall," Dr. Builen said. "It happens thatthis year corresponds to a sunspotmaximum. Nevertheless, in view ofcertain vagaries in the sunspot cycle,it is as yet highly dangerous to ventureon long-term predictions on presentknowledge."

DEVASTATED LANDRESTORING ESK VALLEYFIVE YEARS' TASK AHEAD

THE DUST STORM DANGER

WORK OF CLEARING ROADS

[by telegraph—PRESS association], HASTINGS, "Wednesday

Settlers in the Esk Valley,, which wasconverted from a. rich farming districtto a desert by the heavy deposit ofsilt during floods earlier in the year,are making great efforts to -return theirholdings to at least some degree oftheir former productiveness. It isdifficult to estimate how long it willbo before tho valley' returns to it3original prosperity, but a conservativeestimate is said to be five years.

Public Works Department employeesand machinery most ofthe principal roads. Electricity andtelephone services have been restored.Bridges have been repaired or replaced,passages have been cleared throughgreat banks of silt, and drains arebeing dug. A mechanical scoop is dig-ging .a central drain 10ft.- deep, whicftshould safeguard the area against fur-ther flooding. A temporary woodenbridge has replaced the large concretestructure which was washed away neap

the mouth of the Esk River, and anew road has been surveyed and roughlyformed across the flats connecting withthe highway to Wairoa.

Settlers in HutsIt is impossible yet to attempt to

re-form the farms which were origin-ally on this flat. Public works menare working to reopen the roads, butin the meantime farmhouses remain un-tenanted along the coast. A line o£temporary huts stands on a slight rise.These were hastily erected to housethose settlers who were left homelessby the floods. The coast is littered by,piles of driftwood carried down by therivers and thrown up on the beach.

Vehicular progress through the .EskValley has now been possible for sometime," but it will be a long time beforemany of the subsidiary roads are re-opened for traffic. Fortunately,, thedeposit of light sand is easy to 'movefrom the site of former roads. Machinesand men have thrown it to one side%>clear a passage, but the roads are stillin a rough state.

Farmers have made great efforts torestore their lands. Fences have beenput up, many of them standing on thetop of fences buried beneath the silt.Farm buildings have been repaired andworkmen are striving to renovate thosehouses which have been least severelydamaged.

Railway ReopenedRailway communication has been re-

opened through the valley. The Esk-dale sidings have been dug out andrepairs made to the station. A. tem-porarv railway bridge has been erectedto replace the great concrete and steelstructure at Wallace's Crossing whichcollapsed under the strain of the flood.Huge steel girders and a few blocks ofconcrete lying in the "bed of the riverare all that remain of the formerbridge. It was found impossible to'remove the girders from their bed inthe river.

Farmers in the Esk Valley still haveone great fear now that the floods havepassed. Some experts have predictedthat the light sandy soil may be caughtbv the summer winds and blown allover the district. The planting of thedevastated area has in most cases beenimpossible, and it is possible thatwithin a few months the district- willdevelop into "dust storm", country.Dust storms have been responsible forthe destruction of millions of acres inAmerica, and there is a chance, it isstated, that the same position will arisein the Esk Valley.

£BOO TO WIDOWI DEATH OF HUSBAND

RAILWAY FATALITYJSIERCER STATION LIGHTS

EIDER FROM THE JURY

j After a retirement which, throughJ ppecial circumstances', lasted for more| than nine hours, a verdict for thej suppliant was returned by a jury in

the Supreme Court last night in thecase in -which damages were claimedagainst the Crown by the widow of astock dealer who was killed by a trainat the Mercer railway station. Sup-pliant was awarded £'SOO general dam-ages, £l7 special damages, and costs.

The claim had been brought againstthe Crown by Mrs. Henrietta EthelHerbert, of Panmure (.Mr. \ ialoux),as widow and administratrix of theestate of Charles Harold Herbert, whomet his death at the Mercer railwaystation while alighting from a train on

'the evening of October 30. Alleging thatthe accident was due to the negli-gence of railway servants, she claimed£IOSO general and £l7 special damages.The Crown, represented by Mr. V. R.Meredith and Mr. N. Rosen, submittedthat the accident was entirely due tothe deceased's own negligence in step-ping off a moving train without reason-able care.

The case was heard by Mr. JusticeCallan. The evidence lasted throughoutMonday and Tuesday and the addresseswere delivered yesterday.

The Crown's Case

Mr. Meredith said that Mrs. Herbertwas claiming for the loss she had in-curred through the death of her hus-band, but no evidence had been calledof his earnings or of what moneys shereceived, from him. Counsel suggestedthat the jury would not have to con-sider the question of damages at all.Notices were ireely displayed by thoRailway Department forbidding passen-gers to quit trains while they werein motion and disclaiming responsibilityfor any- accident arising from neglectof this caution.

This was another unfortunate caseof a man taking the risk of leaving amoving train and making a miscalcu-lation. No one was entitled to damagesfor failure to observe ordinary com-mon sense and the regulations underwhich he was travelling. There werereally no allegations of negligenceagainst the Railway Department.

Negligence Alleged

Mr. Vialotix said the suppliantclaimed that her husband's death wascaused by the negligence of the traincrew and of the officials at the Mercerrailway, station. The negligence allegedwas that the station was not well andsufficiently lighted, and that the trainwas drawn into the station in a negli-gent manner.

The railway clerk had signalled withhis lamp low down instead of holdingit up over his head as a reasonableman would have done, with the resultthat his signal to stop was not seenby the fireman, said counsel. The driverby taking the engine down to the watertank had placed the major portion ofthe train in the dark. There was noevidence to show that the deceased gotoff tho train while it was moving.

Dealing first -vv-ith. the question ofdamages, which he said wonld not arise■unless they had first decided that thesuppliant was entitled to damages, HisHonor said the evidence directed toshowing loss sustained had been mostunusually scanty. They were solely con-cerned with the widow's loss from asordid money point of view. There hadbeen no real information -given as tothe deceased's earnings and financialposition. How they could .assess whatthe continuance of his life would be•worth in money to his wife was a mat-ter in which he could not assist themat all. "I am glad," His Honor added,"that the solution of the mystery isfor you and not for me."

The Main QuestionOn the main question, what the

suppliant had to establish was thatthere had been negligence on the partof the railway people and also that thatnegligence was the cause of Herbert'sdeath. If he got off a moving train indefiance of tho regulations, His Honordid not understand it to be suggestedthat he would be entitled to damages.However strong the temptation to stepoff, that did not affect the legal posi-tion. The suggestion was that, owingto the darkness, and the slow motionof the train, passengers were misledinto thinking it had stopped, whereasit went on with a jolt. The evidencein support of that was certainly veryslight.

Jury Visits StationAfter a retirement of two hours the

jury returned to have portions of theevidence read over to them and theforeman announced that they thoughtit would be most helpful if they couldBee the Mercer station after dark.

His Honor said that justico was thoprimary consideration and 110 matterof expense or convenience need be takeninto account.

Arrangements were accordingly mad*for the jury to be motored to Mercerlast evening.

In returning its verdict, the jury re.commended that a better lighting sys-tem should be provided at tho Mercerstation."

Judgment was entered for suppliant.Mr. Meredith applied for an extension-of time to move for a new trial andthis was also granted.

SILVER JUBILEEARCHBISHOP O'SHEA

LONG SERVICE TO CHURCH

MAW YEARS IN WELLINGTON

Over 45 years' service to the CatholicChurch has been rendered h.v theMetropolitan of New Zealand and Arch-bishop of Wellington, Archbishop T.O'Sliea, whose Episcopal silver jubileeoccurred yesterday. In accordance withthe archbishop's expressed wish, noformal celebrations were held to markthe event. He recently asked that theefforts of the Church should be concen-trated on the Catholic congress to boheld in Wellington in 1910 in connec-tion with the New Zealand Centennialcelebrations.

Although Archbishop O'Sliea wasborn in San Francisco in 1870, he hasspent practically all his life in NewZealand. He came to the Dominionwith his parents when he was only a

few months old, and lived with tljemin the Hawera district.

First Student at St. Patrick'sEducated first in the convent school

at Hawera and later at the MaristBrothers' School, Napier, lie was thefirst student to be enrolled at St. Pat-rick's Collego when it was opened inWellington in 1885. Proving himself afine scholar and athlete, he played half-back at Rugby, and was captain of theteam which won the challenge cup inthe junior competition of the districtin 1888.

On leaving collego, he entered theMarist Fathers' institution at Meeanee,near Napier, and was professed in thoSociety of Mary in August, IS9I.Ordained in 1593, he was tho firststudent of St. Patrick's Collego toreach tho priesthood. Returning toMeeanee, he became professor of men-tal philosophy, continuing at the semi-nary in that capacity until 1896, whenho was appointed curate of the parishof To Aro, under Archdeacon Dcvoy.Four years later ho succeeded tho arch-deacon in charge of the parish, andremained there for some time.

Coadjutor to Archbishop Redwood

With the dignity of dean, he was ap-

pointed in 1907 vicar-general of thoWellington archdiocese. When advanc-ing years caused Archbishop Redwoodto ask for the assistance of a co-adjutor, the honour was conferred onDean O'Sliea in 1913. Some years laterArchbishop O'Sliea visited Rome to at-tend a Eucharistic Congress, and hesubsequently toured England, Irelandand America. After his return heshared with Archbishop Redwood theadministrative work of tho diocese, inaddition to acting as head of theChurch in the Dominion during thoseperiods when Archbishop Redwood wasabsent. When Archbishop Redwooddied in January, 1935, succession to thearchbishopric automatically and fell toArchbishop O'Sliea, for when he wasappointed coadjutor of Wellington in1913, he was granted from Rome thoright of succession to the archdiocese.

*As has been recently announced.Archbishop O'Sliea will leave on a visitto Rome toward the end of this month,thus anticipating the visit he wouldordinarily have made in 19-tO. During

RUTH DRAPERSUCCESSFUL SEASON

MORE CHARACTERISATIONS

REMARKABLE VERSATILITYNew aspects of Miss Ruth Draper's

very personal art and more proof of herextraordinary versatility were givento another large and appreciative audi-ence in His Majesty's Theatre lastnight, when she presented a new pro-gramme. Three of the four items whichcomposed it could almost he, describedas one-act plays, for although based onan idea too simple to be called aplot, each was crowded with'detail andbuilt up with such a sense of thetheatre as innumerable playwrightshave striven in vain to acquire.

"Italian Lesson" was a half-hour ofcomplete farce, designed to ridicule themad pursuit of social activity, phil-anthropy and "culture" by a large classof wealth American women. The par-ticular lady was shown sitting in achaise-lounge just alter breakfast,' at-tempting to take a lesson on the firstfew lines of Dante's "Inferno," against,unceasing interruptions from telephonecalls, her children, secretary, cook,nurse and apparently every othermember of a very large domestic staff.In this way a complete cross-sectionof her daily life was exposed to every-body's great amusement, and Danteeventually went into the discard.

Several rypes of Englishwoman werepresented in turn in an equally amus-ing sketch of a country house party.Of these the most appealing was anunsophisticated girl of 18 from a coun-try vicarage, making her debut and, in-cidentally, telling nearly all about hersimple existence with charming artless-ness.

The last study was of a crowded hourin a western American railway stationon a winter night after a trainwreck, depicted entirely through itscentral figure, the plain, courageouswoman in charge of the station refresh-ment room. All her preparations forturning the room into a casualty clear-ing station were enacted in full detail,and the whole made a drama of actionthat gripped audience as few playshave done since "Journey's End."

The matinee yesterday also attracteda largo and very enthusiastic audi-ence. Miss Draper will present the fol-lowing programme to-night:—"ltalianLesson," "Three Generations in theCourt of Domestic Relations," "Anlinglish House Party," "On a Porchin the Maine Coast Village," and "Vivela Franco." The Auckland season willconclude on Saturday evening.

SOCIALISM IDEALS

BASIS OF FREEDOM

LABOUR SUPPORTER'S VIEWS

An attack on the capitalistic systemas being based on a wrong conceptionof freedom was made by Mr. TV. A.Sewell, professor of English at theAuckland University College, in apolitical address last evening in theHemuera Hall on the ".Menace" ofSocialism. The address was given underthe auspices of the Remuera branch ofthe Labour Party, and the Labour can-didate for Remuera at the general elec-tion, Mrs. 31. M. Dreaver, occupieda seat on the platform and was intro-duced to the gathering.

A persistent attempt was hem?made, said the speaker, to associatesocialism with capitalism. There wasno relationship. Fascism in Italy nndGermany bad not altered in any waythe capitalistic structure of the State.There was the fundamental principlein socialism that goods were not pro-duced for profit, but for the serviceof humanity. It was essential in capi-talism that there should ho scarcities,for scarcity meant values.

It was absolutely untrue, the speakercontended, that socialism was designedto make the people servants of thoState. It was true that in Russia theState was supreme, but that was be-cause the country was isolated amonghostile capitalistic States. It was anelement in socialism that the Statuwould in the end wither away.

The speaker said that the pendinggeneral election would not be foughton tho issue of socialism and capi-talism. The Labour Party would bereturned as a Liberal party that wouldbring more and more social securityto the people. He believed it wouldbring about, a great development, ineducation. As a member of the LabourParty, however, he looked to the timewhen New Zealand would be a socialistcountry. There would he freedom undersocialism. It was not the fundamentalnature of freedom, that- men could dowhat they liked with their own to thodeteriment of society.

A vote of thanks was accorded thospeaker on tho motion of Mrs. Dreaver.

SYMPATHY OF THE CORONER

"This is a very dreadful tragedy;on the evidence 1 am quite satisfiedthat it was a pure accident," said thecoroner. Mr.' F. K. Hunt, after hear-ing evidence yesterday at an inquestinto the deaths of four members ofone family, who lost their lives on thenight of duly 27, when the motor-carin which they were riding plunged into

""the Auckland Harbour off the easterntide deflector'.

The victims were Mrs. Vera EsmaLawson. aged 34, of 28 Victor J toad,Avondale; .Joan Lawson, aged 13, a'daughter; Peter Lawson, aged nine, ason: and Gladys Lawson. aged six, an-other daughter. The only survivor wasthe driver, Mr. H. J. Lawson, hus-band of Mrs. Lawson and father of thethree children.

Proceedings for the police yesterdaywere conducted by Detective-SergeantJ. Nalder. Mr. Fiulay appeared forMr. Lawson.

Husband's EvidenceHarold James Lawson, foreman-

printer for the Dawson Printing Com-pany, Limited, Auckland, said he wasmarried about 1-4 years ago.

"1 frequently took my wife and chil-dren for drives of evenings afterwork, - ' witness continued. "During ourdinner on Wednesday evening. July 27,we decided to have a drive that even-ing." . , . .

Witness said that with his wife andthree children he left home at about7.1-5 or 7.30 o'clock. They visitedfriends in Parnell, and after about halfan hour left to return home.

"\Ye proceeded by way of Gladstone.Road and down over the overhead rail-way bridge near Campbell's Point," hecontinued. "1 was driving. Mrs. Law-son and Gladys, the youngest child,occupied the front seat with me.Gladys sat between us. Peter and Joanoccupied the rear seat.

"On one previous occasion last sum-mer 1 had driven my family down bythe Pan American Airways- premisesone evening, and my boy had beenvery interested in the lights on theharbour. When we were about by theoverhead railway bridge he asked meto so down there again."

- Witness said they drove along towardPan American Airways and then turnedto the right and drove parallel withthe waterfront It was witness' inten-tion to drive right round the boat-sheds. At that time he was under theimpression that the sheds were en-closed by a square, round which theycould drive.

Son's Exclamation"On Wednesday night I had not

stopped the car, but proceeded alongthe road parallel with the waterfront

' and was making a right-hand turn atabout 12 miles an hour to follow whacI thought was a right-of-way roundthat side of the sheds, when Petermade an exclamation abqut the lightson the waterfront road toward Orakei."witness said. "I looked in that direc-tion and the next instant the left-sidefront wheel went over the wall witha grating noise and the next thingthe'"car was in the harbour. It did not

t turn over, but landed on all four'wheels.,

'.'Only, one window was open, the oneTon my side. -The water poured in onlis. I got out of the car. I do not knowhow. I presume I got out through thetrindow. I then tried to pull myyoungest child through the window, butI conld not get her past the steeringwheel. The eldest girl had hold of me.The car quickly sank and became sub-merged very. suddenly in very dee])water. The sudden sinking of the carcaused me to loosen my hold and Joanwas torn away.

"I had my raincoat on and I wentto the surface and removed this. Thelights were still showing from the carand I dived f managed to get backto the open window. I tried to openthe door, but could not. I dived againand again, tried to open the door. 1tried to get hold of them in the carby reaching through the window, butcould not. %

Efforts at Rescue"I went to the surface. 1 realised

that I must get assistance, and seeinga light upstairs in the Royal AkaranaYacht Club's shed 1 went to the doorand knocked.

"The knock was answered and Imade a request- for help and to ringthe police." he continued. "I then ranto Pan American Airways and re-quested help from a man there. I thenreturned to where the submerged carwas, and again attempted to get tothe car, but was finally pulled out ofthe water.

"Although-it was not raining at thetime of the accident, visibility was verybad," witness added. "My car lightswere on, but I did not see any otherlight or lamp-post. 1 had no idea thatI was as cloSv te the wall as I musthave been.

"Mrs. Lawson could swim and Joancould swim a few strokes. Peter andGladys could not swim. The tide wasgoing out and there was a strong ripwhere the car was."

Witness said that after being taken'

from the water he received attentionfrom ambulance officials and was takento the Auckland Hospital, where heremained until August 4.

Percy Hopkinson Marshall, caretakeremployed by the Royal Akarana YachtClub, said that a few minutes beforenine o'clock on the night of July 27he heard loud knocking on the down-stairs door. He went down and sawMr. Lawson. >

"He was dripping wet," witness con-tinned. "He said: 'Get hold of sorne-

•= one, quick. I have run my car overthe sifle and the family is in it.' Hopointed to where the car was sub-merged. 1 could see the glow of thelights of the car. It was then twohours after full tide. The car was onthe bottom and in about 12ft. > ofwater."

Mr. Lawson ExhaustedWitness said ho telephoned to the

police, after advising Mr. Lawson tosee if there was anyone at Pan Ameri-can Airways. Ho then went outside.

■ Mr. Lawson had just jumped into thewater and was swimming toward thesubmerged car. Witness saw that hewas exhausted, and threw him a life-belt. Mr. Lawson caught it, and withthe assistance of constables witnesshauled him ashore.

It whs very dark at nine o'clockthat night, witness continued. VisibilityWas very bad. There was a lamp-postnear where the car went over the wall,but the light was not showing thatnight, it had been on every night be-fore Wednesday.

Herbert Tew, a diver employed bythe Auckland Harbour Hoard, saidthat shortly after midnight, at lowtide, he descended in his diving suit.With the aid of a torch he could seethe car about 12ft. from the shore. Atthat time the hood was just awash. Hedescribed the recovery of the bodies.^

"On the evidence, I am quite satis-fied that it was a pure accident. 1 sym-pathise very much with thjs unfortu-nate man," Mr. Hunt said. "It is anawkward place to drive lit any time°f the day or night, and if the lighthad been going this might not haveoccurred

l 'll" apparently tried to do all hecould to save his family," Mr. Huntcontinued. He returned a verdict thatthe deaths of the four victims were

• due to accidental drowning throughthe car running over the bank.

LEAVING COUNTRYDOMINION FARMERS

SETTLING' IN AUSTRALIA

ATTRACTIVE CONDITIONS

MEMBERS OF TOURING PARTY

So attractive are farming prospectsin Australia that several young menin a party of New Zealand farmerswho returned by the Wanganella yes-terday after a tour of South Australiaintend to leave the Dominion and takeup land in the Commonwealth as soonas possible. One man has already placedhis farm on the market.

In giving this information, the jointleader of the party, Mr. W. G. Thomp-son, of Middlemarch, Central Otago,said that farming prospects for youngmen were wonderfully bright in Aus-tralia. Land was cheap and could bebought in the native state from thevarious Governments at 5s an acre. Itcould be cleared and the first, cropsown in the third year for £1 10s anacre.

"We were shown land of this de-scription carrying one and a-half totwo sheep to the acre," said Mr.Thompson. "Several State Governmentsintend to take the clearing of scrubin hand, considering that it can bedone more economically this way. Thocost will be a charge oil the land. Thefarmer will take over after a part ofthe land has been sown in- crops andis in a fair way to bring in a return."

Lamb Trade CompetitionFormidable competition for New Zea-

land in the export lamb trade mightbe expected from South Australia inthe near future, Mr. Thompson added.That would result from the use ofcrossbred ewes for fat lamb raising andfrom a more general use of top-dressingon pastures.

Australian farmers had an advantagein that port loading charges were verymuch lower than they were in NowZealand, he said. Australian portauthorities had also pointed out thatloading at Australian ports was muchfaster than in the Dominion and ship-ping companies occasionally had tobring freights back to Australia be-cause they could not bo unloaded inthe time ships were at New Zealandports. Tho freights were despatchedagain in the hope that they could bounloaded on the second visit.

"This does -not speak well for NewZealand, especially when tfie facilitiesat Auckland aye. said to be tho mostup-to-date in Australia and New Zea-land," Mr. Thompson added.

A Novel DwellingPrices at the Melbourne and Adelaide

sheep and cattle sales were good. Thepresent season's lamb was bringingfrom 19s to £1 2s a head and wetherswere selling at £1 ss. Members of theparty had been greatly impressed bythe excellent quality of Merino studflocks inspected in South Australia.

The novelty of a straw dwelling houseand farm buildings was inspected bythe tourists in the Port Pirie district.The house was said to have cost athird of the price of a brick structureand less than half the cost of a woodendwelling. It was not inflammable, wascool in summer and warm in winter.According to Mr. Thompson such ahouse should be ideal for condition* inNew Zealand.

The remarkable interest shown in thetour and the hospitality extended totho travellers by Australians was thesubject of comment by several of theparty.

Sir,—The annual church parade ofscouts and guides in tho lown Hall011 Sunday was a glorious sight andone thrills at the sight of the coloursand thanks God one is British.

SYMONDS STREET BUSES

BUTTER-FAT PRICES

Sir, Barclay, M.P., stated inParliament that an offer had been madeto me, personally, to debate the guaran-teed price and the compensated priceover the air. This is not correct, butlet that pass. I am prepared to debateon a YA station, first, the guaranteedprice, as to its .sufficiency and as towhether it fulfils the Government'spromises, and then the compensatedprice, as to whether that would betterfill the bill. A. K. Robinson.

STATE HOUSING

Sir.—"Accountant's" letter of the16th instant makes it clear that he hasnot yet grasped the fact that the moneyfor .State housing is provided by Treas-ury hills. When lie does he will findthat the estimates he has presentedto us in support of his contention thatthe State housing scheme will be afailure, and that the taxpayer willbe called upon to pay 33 per cent oftin; rentals, are of no value becausethey are based on the misconceived ideathat Ihe Government has borrowed at"round about -1 per cent" when it hasdone nothing of the kind. Not until"Accountant" sees this will he be ableto arrive at an estimate of any value.

In regard to the ]~s tid a week houseswhich "Accountant" says "cannotshow anything but a loss": 'lbese aredouble-unit houses, the two rentals ofwhich amount to .'ius per week. ( api-talise.iliis at 5 per cent and we get,approximajely. £'1750. As the StateHousing Department's figures have notyet been published we cannot say. withcertainty, what these houses have cost.Put I'll wager they have not costjCI7"O. Even if they have, the rentalswill more than cover the charges.

CRIPPLED CHILDREN

Sir.—The Whangarei County Councilis reported in your issue of Saturdayto have refused a donation to the nil-son Home for Crippled Children, 11mCounty Council thou had before ir anappeal' from the Auckland branch ofthe Crippled Children Society seekinga subscription to the funds of thesociety.

Tim appeal suggested that the anni-versary of the opening of the "WilsonHome should be marked by a contri-bution supporting the work ol thesocietv. In the discussion reported byyou }lr. ,1. A. S. Mackay, chairmanof the council, said that the assist-ance of crippled children was a mostworthy object. The purpose of theletter then under discussion was to ob-tain that assistance. Unfortunately itappears that the Wilson Home is notpopular in Whangarei, and the factthat it was named led the discussionawav from the actual appeal.

The work - of the society is doneamong the 550 crippled children of theprovince in their own homes, irrespec-tive of the hospital district or countyin which they reside, and an appealfor funds has been made to all localauthorities throughout the province in{he same form as that considered atWhangarei. Tn case the same mistakeshould be made by other bodies towhom it has been addressed I trustthat you will give me space for thisexplanation of the appeal. The CrippledChildren Society does not control theWilson Home, and the work for whichit needs funds is quite different fromthat conducted by the Auckland Hos-pital Board at the Wilson Home.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Sir,—In the Herald of August 13Mr. Nash is reported to have said inreply to Mr. Kyle that "persons receiv-ing superannuation would not have tocontribute to the cost of the schemes."

' In your issue of August 15 it is againI stated that "Mr. Nash stressed the

i point that benefits payable under the' Bill .

. . would not be subject to thej Social Security charge." I listened in

I to Tuesday night's broadcast from Par-j liament and heard Mr. Nash say "every-

| body would have to contribute." InI your issue of Wednesday Mr. Nash is! rpported to have said that "the people

i who would receive superannuationI would pay for what they got only to

| the extent of about one-lialf." Withsuch contradictory statements the ques-tion is, what does Mr. Nash reallymean? As the Government accepts nocriticism or suggestions I suppose itis futile to point out how foolish it isfor Mr. Nash to reiterate that every-body will receive some benefit from thasocial security scheme when it is com-mon knowledge that persons who havejust too much income to qualify forsuperannuation will have to pay a taxwhich will render their income less thanthat received by a superannuitant.

Puzzled.

Sir,—In your lender of Saturday,wherein you advocate raising the pen-sionable age to 65 instead of 60, youstate that the latter is too soon formost men to be put away on the shelf.How many men are there over 60 whohave been employed on manual labouror industrial work who are able tostand up to the work with a youngerman in the twenties or thirties. Iknow who woidd be employed by aprivate employe" if there was a .1offering, and it would not be the olderman.

As regards ch-.mging people fromrevenue contributors to revenue re-reivers, you evidently overlook the fartthat if a man retires'at 60 he is makingway for one who would probably be un-employed. How many married men arethere with children who, owing to thenature of their occupation and throughwet weather, are able to put anythingbv for a rainv dav? With civil ser-vants. bank clerks, and a good manyothers, whose work is mainly clerical,their jobs are constant and the spectreof unemployment and weather in-

clemencies does not affect them likeoutside workers. .

As to the qualifying ago of 6o inother countries, it (iocs not follow thatwo should do the same; it. is for NewZealand to lead the way, assheliasdonein the past under Ballanee and Sed-don. T am a little over 60 and havebeen working since the age of 10, andam now waiting for April 1 next whenwith £3 per week for myself and wifeI can retire and take it easy for therest of our declining days, as five yearsis a pretty good span in a man's lifeover 60, so hats off to the LabourGovernment, who will make this pos-sible.

KOSCIUSKO ORDEALGUESTS DASH INTO SNOW

JOURNEY MADE IN BLIZZARD

NOTED BUILDING DESTROYED[from our own correspondent]

SYDNEY, August 13Fire, within two hours, reduced to a

heap of ashes the chalet at CharlottePass, Mount Kosciusko, one of Aus-tralia's most fashionable winter re-

sorts.Eighty-five guests and 25 employees,

surprised in their beds at 1 o clock inthe morning, wore forced to dash forsafety, and underwent the ordeal of .i

blizzard before they reached tho com-fort of the Hotel Kosciusko, 11 milesaway. The chalet was a large timberbuilding of two storeys. The damagewas estimated at £35.000.

It is believed that the fire wascaused by an over-heated flue in theboiler-room, which ignited the sur-rounding timbers. Aroused from hissleep by the sound of crackling tim-ber, tho manager of the chalet, Mr.George Day, was one of the first torealise the danger.

Manager's Prompt ActionHurrying from room to room, he

marshalled the guests, helping them tosalvage warm' clothing, and to fighttheir wav through the clouds of densesmoke that filled the building. Out inthe snow men and _women shared thescant, warm clothing and the fewblankets that had been saved from theinferno.

Huddled'together, they watched thebuilding blazing to destruction. Manylost valuables and 'mbst of their be-longings. While the fire was burning,the guests standing in the snow werocomparatively - warm, but when afteitwo hours the chalet had been reducedto a smouldering heap of ashes, thecold was intense. The guests and mem-bers of tho'staff crowded into the hayand cowsheds. to find shelter from thebiting snow-laden wind. Most of thewomen huddled under the hay and6traw.

Relief Party's ArrivalThe glow of the flames was seen from

the Hotel Kosciusko' and a party at• once set out, but it was unable to reachthe ruined chalet until dawn. By thau

time the guests, particularly thewomen, were suffering severely fromthe cold. The hotel party served warmfood and coffee, and tho long trek tothe hotel was then begun.

The journey was made in parties ofabout 12. Heavy snow was falling,driven bv a high wind, and many mem-bers of the party suffered severely fromthe effects of their exposure. The lastparty reached the hotel at 2.30 p.m.One party of three men, including aprofessional guide, left the chalet whnethe building was still blazing, andfought their-way through: darkness andthe blizzard. They took nine hours tocomplete a terrible journey of IImiles.

PAVED WITH GOLDSTREET IN KALGOORLIE

ORE USED FOR FOOTPATHS

[WHAT WEAR BY FEET HAS DONE

[from OUR own correspondent]SYDNEY, August 13

gold city of Western Aus-tralia," boasts a main ' thoroughfare—Hannan Street—where people dig upgold in the street. From time to timeexperienced prospectors catch sight of

a gleam as they walk the pavementsand they stoop to chip out with theirpenknives small pieces of the precious

yellow metal.The story of how the gold got there

is told by- Mr. Andrew Lennon,_

wholaid the footpaths for the municipalcouncil in 1899. When he secured thecontract he sought suitable metal tomix witfc a special composition for thepaths. Satisfactory ore was obtainablefrom the old Golden Zone mine, at theextreme northern end of the field.

At that, time the mine 'was in thedoldrums and was about to be closeddown. The management offered Mr.Lennon 1000 tons of ore at Is a ton.While the ore was being treated formixing Mr. * Lennon made 50 secretdolly got tests, and found that itaveraged 4dwt. to the ton. lhat was

~\ too low a grade for mining in the earlydays, because of the high cost of water.

"Now," said Mr. Lennon, "the treadof thousands of feet has worn the pave-ments until pieces of gold in the orehave begun to show. Other pieces willbegin to show as time and man marchon."

Such a scheme in New Zealand, saidMr. Olen, was greatly minimising roadaccidents.

Mr. Bruxner admitted that the idea,was a pood one. "But Mr. Olen mightalso tell mo-where I am going to raice£1,000,000 to introduce it here," hosaid. "This is a big country, youknow. On the other hand, you couldblow bubbles right across New Zealand.

AIR TRAGEDYFOUR MEN KILLED

MACHINE STRIKES HILL

CRASH IN A DENSE FOG

[from our own correspondent]MELBOURNE, August 12

Four men wero killed and a fifthescaped with minor injuries when aRoyal Australian Air Force Avro-Ansonbomber crashed into the side ofArthur's Seat, a hill near Dromana onthe shores of Port Phillip Bay. Thetragedy occurred in a fog at p. 45 a.m.

Those who wero killed were:—Pilot-Officer 11. S. Symonds, pilot, aged 22years; Sergeant-Pilot J. M. Gillespie,second pilot, aged 28 years, married;Aircraftsman K. C. McKerrow, wirelessoperator, aged 23 years; AircraftsmanJ{. W. Mawson, litter, aged 28 years.

Tho sole survivor was AircraftsmanJ. Glover, rigger, aged 31 years, mar-ried, who suffered from shock andabrasions. He was in the gun turret ofthe aeroplane. The four who were killedwere in the observation cabin.

Navigational ExercisesFive Avro-Anson bombers, attached

to No. 2 Squadron at Laverton, left thestation to engage in a navigationalreconnaissance course over Port PhillipBay. Four of the aeroplanes completedthe course and returned on time. It hadbeen intended to repeat the exercisowith the second pilot of each crew incontrol, but owing to weather condi-tions deteriorating toward the com-pletion of the first exercise tho mach-ines were recalled. Apparently themachine which crashed had receivedthe call and was turning back.

A dense fog and drizzling rain onthe side of Arthur's Seat limited visi-bility to about 100ft. when the aero-plane roared in from the sea. Loppingthe tops of tall trees with its wing tips,the bomber crashed about 600ft. up thehill.

Residents Hear CrashThe crash was heard by residents of

Dromana, four miles away. A gang ofmen, who were working on the mainroad only 400yds. from the scene,reached tho aeroplano four minutesafter the disaster occurred. They foundthe pilot dead and three other men un-conscious near the machine.

Mr. G. J. Griffiths, who was first onthe scene, said that Glover emergedfrom the gun turret, struggled through

the wreckage of tho observation cabinand staggered to the side of one of themen lying on tho ground.

Nothing could bo done for the threeunconscious men, and they died withinten minutes without having regainedconsciousness.

Mr. J. Webb, who was working onthe hill below the scene of the crash,said that he heard the aeroplane abovehim, but it was obscured by a lowcloudbank. Suddenly the machineseemed to drop through the mist, andho saw it fly inland. A few secondslater he heard the crash and hurried tothe wreck.

Bodies Thrown from MachineFragments of the aeroplane were

scattered like pieces of matchwoodalong the path the machine had tornthrough the trees for a distance of125yds. down the hillside. The observa-tion cabin, built of steel frameworkunder a covering of fabric and withpelluloid windows, took the full forceof the crash and was almost com-pletely crushed.

The bodies of the four men who hadbeen in the cabin were thrown in thedirect line of flight of the machine. Thepilot's body was thrown more than100ft. The . other bodies were found50ft., 30ft. and 20ft. respectively fromthe aeroplane.

The starboard engine was thrown20ft. in front of the machine. The portengine was stopped by a tree about10ft. to the rear of the cabin. Pieces ofthe wings hung in the tree-tops furtherdown the hillside.

There had been an impressive in-crease in tho sales of wool, hides nndskins, and the attempt to market lambin Canada had been most successful.Tho number of travellers from NorthAmerica to New Zealand, following awell-planned advertising campaign, hadcreated a record.

During a stay of two months in Lon-don, Mr. Collins has studied thomethods of marketing New Zealand'smain products in Britain, and ho hasbeen most impressed.

LONDON. July '27The number of questions answered in

No fewerthan 90 questions wero disposed of, 20more than normal, in remarkably shorttime. The absence of members nt thotape machine explained in part thorapid progress made.

.Many members in tho Houso keptan eye on colleagues who camo in fromthe lobby, and in this way news cir-culated throughout tho Chamber foran hour in whispers. At one periodthere were beams on tho faces of themembers. Bradman was out! As ques-tion hour proceeded, and the whisper-ings continued, smiles faded, faceslengthened. • Another crisis was over.

Hammond, the England captain, whowas dismissed without scoring in hissecond innings, evidently wanted tosee exactly how it happened. With hisGloucester colleague, Goddard, lie wentto the pictures in the evening andwatched the test match film.

Non-intervention PlanA man in the lira© light at the

moment is the Secretary to the Non-intervention Committee, Mr. FrancisHemming, of tho Treasury.

He is the author of tho HemmingPlan for tho withdrawal of volunteersfrom Spain, which may bo put intoaction shortly. Mr. Hemming, who is45, was recently awarded the C.M.G.He is sometimes referred to as thebusiest of tho civil servants, and inthe last two years a 14 to 16-hour dayhas not been unusual for him.

After leaving the Army on accountof wounds in 1918, Hemming en-tered the Home Civil Service the fol-lowing year, and became assistant-privato secretary to Sir Austen Cham-berlain when he was Chancellor of theKxehequer. Since then ho has workedwith many distinguished Governmentofficials, and has become one of White-hall's greatest experts in running Gov-ernment councils and committees.

The "Lambeth Walk"The "freak among ballroom dances"

—tho Lambeth Walk—is England'slatest evening pastime. It is an imita-tion of Cockney mannerisms, and oneof the few dances of recent times whichhas originated in England notamong the negroes of the UnitedStates. It is said to be perky, cheeryand carefree, and whatever olse itmay lie it is certainly popular.

This week it was recognised by theImperial Society of Teachers of

tho arbiter of dancing in Eng-land and the Continent.

The dance is said to have beenoriginated after the manager of asuburban dance hall had watched Mr.Lupino Lane impersonating the costerwalk. He sot the chief of his dancingStaff to work, and with tlie introduc-tion of stamps, turns and knee-slappingit was an instantaneous success. Peoplewith memories, however, say that tlievremember costers dancing like it 60years ago, which tends to prove itstrue Cockney strain.

The boys, who were pupils atthe Crown Street Commercial School,stowed away on the Monterey morethan two weeks ago. They were founda few hours after the ship left Sydneyfor Auckland.

"When I come to think of it, itwas a mad idea," Costa Lianos stated."We wanted to find adventure aroundthe world. We saved up ss. On thomorning the Monterey sailed we wentto tho wharf with suitcases and whenthe crowd was thickest wo walkedaboard. Wo went up top, unhooked thecanvas from a lifeboat, and hopped in.The ship had not been long at seawhen we both regretted what we haddone. I was seasick. We got out ofthe lifeboat and spoke to some pas-sengers, who advised us to see the cap-tain."

When they arrived in Auckland theywere taken to the boys' home at MountAlbert.

"The boys there," Lianos said,"naturally wanted to/ know what wehad done. When Ave began to tell themthe matron came along and stopped ustalking. We regret tho trouble wocaused; we regret the whole, thing. Ifor one am looking forward to goingback to school."

COMPANY LAWAMENDING BILL

NEW SOUTH WALES STEP

TRUSTEE TAKES OVER[from our own correspondent]

SYDNEY, August 13The public trustee, Mr. W. B.

Geddes, before 5 p.m. yesterday, beganto exercise the power conferred on himby tho Assurance Companies' Man-agement Act, to control tho Producersand Citizens' jCo-operativo AssuranceCompany,' Limited, and the Common-wealth General Assurance Corporation,Limited.

The hill was finally passed by Parlia-ment yesterday afternoon, and was as-sented to by the Governor at U.;io p.m.

Tho Minister of Justice, Mr. L. 0.Martin, said the first duty of thoPublic Trustee under the Act would boto satisfy himself regarding tho posi-tion of the companies by an investi-gation conducted by himself or hisofficers. This would involve a completeand .searching survey of tho businessand assets, and tho costs involved intho working of tho companies. He wouldthen be in a position to exercise hisl>owers for tho safety of tho policy-holders and the shareholders.

Companies Well Able to Function

"Adoquato security is now providedin tho interests of the policy-holders,"said Mr. Martin, /'and it is thoughtthat the business of the companies, re-moved from thodangers that threatenedthem, will now increase gradually.

"Tho Government bolieves that thecompanies, under wise management,arc well able to servo their policy-holders and function in tho interest ofall concerned."

Mr. Martin explained that section 5of tho Act gave the Public Trusteeplenary powers to safeguard completelytho interests of the policy-holders intho two companies. It empowered himto appoint an auditor or actuary tomake a complete investigation of thecompanies' positions. Ho had to receivenotice of all meetings of tho boards ofdirectors and the shareholders, and hemight attend, or bo represented by hisdeputy, at any meeting and take partin any meeting, but he could not vote.

No investment, sale, or dealing inthe assets of the companies could bemade, without his written sanction. Theobject of this provision was to givecoitipleto efleet to the protective powersof tho trustee.

Further Powers of Public TrusteeTho Minister said that the trustee

had power to regulate the remunerationpaid to any director or person employedby the companies in any capacity.At all times he had the right of im-mediate access to all the books anddocuments of the companies, and homight require any director or officerto supply, without delay, any infor-mation he sought. He was empoweredto place the assets of the companiesunder the joint control of himself andtho directors.

Under section 6 the trustee, if liethought that, in tho interests of thepolicy-holders, tlio directors should besubstituted, might apply to the KquityCourt for an order superseding themand handing tho control of either com-pany to three trustees nominated byand including himself.

Since IPBO lie hadoccupied the position of superintendentin charge of the Auckland district andho could now look back upon a careerof long and honourable service. He wasrecognised as a man of fairness andimpartiality. Members of the servicewere combined in the hope that theevening of Mr. Till's life would bespent in long and happy retirement.

to tho affection in which he was heldin Auckland was also made by In-spector J). Scott, Sub-Inspector J. Fox,Sub-Inspector M. Flanagan, the chiefdetective, Mr. S. G. Hall, Senior-Ser-geant i). L.

has taken a very keen interest in thewelfare of tho men in this district,"Mr. Cuminings continued.

Need for Efficiency"As in the Army, the sergeants are.

perhaps, the backbone of the force,"lie stated. "They arc the men whocome into direct contact with the rankand file of the service and it behovesthem to make themselves thoroughlyefficient in all their duties so that theymay give ready advice to the men undertheir charge. To the ificn themselvesI would say that, if they regard theirpositions in tho force as they should,they must also seek efficiency. To thisend. 1 would suggest they become thor-oughly acquainted with' tho regula-tions."

it was stated that tho company helda licence for a dam and water racesince 1923, the surplus being used fortho town's domestic supply. The in-creased butter-fat supplies had neces-sitated a now factory with an increasedwater supply.

DANGEROUS BENDS

ELIMINATION URGED

MAIN SOUTH HIGHWAY

The need for straightening dangerousbends in the Great South Road immedi-ately south of the Penrose overheadbridge was emphasised at the One TreeHill Borough Council meeting lastnight. Mr. M. J. Hooper asked whatpossibility there was of something beingdone to eliminate the series of bends.There had been several accidents inthat locality mainly due to the con-dition of the road. The Main HighwaysBoard might possibly have the matterin hand, nut something should be donein view of the heavy traffic.

The Mayor. Mr. I. J. Goldstine, saidthe matter was actually under con-sideration and at the moment was thesubject of a 'conference by the localbodies concerned. He would like to beable to make a statement on the widen-ing proposals.

DOMAIN LANDSCONTROL IN HAMILTON

ELECTED BODY WANTED

CO-OPERATIVE PLAN PROPOSED[from our own correspondent]

HAMILTON; Wednesday'lhe future control of tho domain

lands of Hamilton was discussed at aconference held to-day between repre-sentatives of the Hamilton BoroughCouncil and the Hamilton DomainBoard.

The Mayor, Mr. H. D. C'aro, who pre-sided, referred to tho change made 25years ago. when the Domain Board wasconstituted and took over the controlof the borough domains from the coun-cil. The board was a nominated body,jind he questioned whether this form ofconstitution was in accord with demo-cratic opinion to-day. It was a questionwhether tho time had not arrived whenthe domain land should be againvested in a body elected by the citizens.

400 Acres of LandThere were about 400 acres of domain

land in Hamilton, added the Mayor,130 acres of which were, leased tosports bodies and others, and producedrevenue totalling £2200 per annum.This was the only sum available formaintaining the whole, of the grounds,

the lake domain, but notincluding the property leased to thoHamilton Golf Club at Te Rapa.

Mr. Cnro said it was doubtful if thoboard's revenue was sufficient to carryout all the work that might be donoin improving the areas, and, while thocouncil had power to spend money ondomain improvements, it would notcare to do so while control of the landswas vested in another authority. Mr.Caro paid a tribute to tho work theboard had done in tho past, and hethought tho services of tho presentmembers should be retained.

Interests cf DistrictMr. F. A. Swarhrick said the Domain

Board did not represent the towns-people alone, for much of its workbenefited the residents of the surround-ing district. It controlled areas outsidethe borough, including the St. Andrewsgolf links at Te Rapa, and 50 acresnear the lake. Mr. Swarbrick opposedcontrol of the domain'lands by theBorough Council.

Mr. H. M. Hammond suggested thatsome means by which the two localbodies could work in co-operation mightbe devised.

It was finally decided, on the motionof Mr. W. H. Paul, chairman of theDomain 1 Board, that a scheme underwhich the two bodies may work in co-operation be formulated by the boardand submitted to tho council for con- isideration. j

LICENSING RECOMMENDEDThe problem of controlling hawkers

and itinerant salesmen in the Ono TreeHill district was discussed by the OneTree Hill Borough Council last night,when a complaint was received from aresident. He stated that as many as10 to 12 a day visited houses.

In a report on the matter tho townclerk, Mr. A. Leese, said the matterhad been before the council at varioustimes since ]9.'U. when a remit urginglegislative action for the licensing ofhawkers had been sent to the Auck-land Suburban Local Bodies' Associa-tion. Nothing had eventuated.

The Mayor, Mr. I. J. Goldstine, saidthe question was before the New Zea-land Municipal Association conference,but a remit was lost. The town clerksaid he understood that many of thesmaller local bodies had opposed actionbeing taken on the ground that theywould lose a few pounds in licensingfees. The One Tree Hill BoroughCouncil had been fighting this matteralone for several years. Mr. Loose saidhe was satisfied that the prohlem couldonly be dealt with by tho police licens-ing itinerant vendors and tho intro-duction of numbered armbands.

On the suggestion of the Mayor itwas decided again to take the matterto the notice of tho Local Bodies' As-sociation.

DARGAVILLE. WednesdaySome difficulty in determining the

rate to bo struck this year was experi-enced by the Hobson County Councilto-day, but after a discussion the rateof sevenpence was decided upon.

The clerk, Mr. J. Hogg, reportedthat because the consolidated rate offivepcnce in the pound struck last yearwas insufficient the council overspentby about £llOO. The county valuation 1figures showed that the original valua-tion of £'921.602 had been reduced toi£738,770.

A statement of the estimated incomesand expenditure produced by the clei&included a hospital levy of £4258, anincrease of £BOO over that of the pre-vious year. He said that because qfthe reduced valuation the councilwould require a rate of sevenpence ftoproduce sufficient to meet its commit-ments. allow for the deficit of last yearand the increased hospital rate.

A member of the council moved thatthe rate should not be strucka special meeting of ratepayers couldbe called, but the motion was defeated.

The chairman said that little {goodwould come of such a motion, and thatthe Government would take littje nioticeof it. The hospital rate was one thathad been before the Counties' Associa-tion for years and before the Govern-ment on many occasions.

ARSENIC IN SOILPOSITION AT BEPOKOA

FARMERS AWAIT REPORT

DEPOSITS IN WAIOTAPU STREAM[tit telegraph—OWN correspondent]

ROTORUA, WednesdayAlthough several months have elapsed

since public attention was directed tothe urgent necessity for a Governmentinvestigation into tho incidence ofarsenic in the farmlands at Reporoa,the farmers in the affected areas havenot as yet been informed of the resultsof the analyses taken of the soil, water,and stomach contents of sick cattle.

Inquiries made in Wellington re-cently revealed that the report beingprepared by the chemists attached tothe Department of Agriculture waswell advanced. Although substantialprogress had been made, no definitodate could be given for its release,

j A representative gathering of Ilepo-t roa farmers recently forwarded a reso-lution to the Minister of Agriculture,tho Hon. W. Loo Martin, asking thatthe results of the department's in-quiries be published in the Journal ofAgriculture. So far, however, noacknowledgment of the communica-tion has been received.

Since it has been established that thepoison emanates chiefly from heavydeposits in the Waiotapu Stream, thesettlers are anxious that the Public"Works Department should take earlymeasures to lower the bed of thestream to prevent flooding of the low-lying areas. They also consider thatmany of the bends in the stream shouldbe straightened so that the amount ofterritory through which tho river runswould be appreciably reduced.

It is stated that the report will bedivided into sections dealing with theincidence of arsenic in the mud andsoil; the proportion of arsenic in thewater supplies; the degree of arsenictransferred to pastures; and remedialmeasures. The first two sections wererecently completed and the Reporoafarmers were warned of ■water suppliesconsidered to be dangerous to stock.

Among the songswhich have Avon wide favour through-out the music world are "Love Me To-night," "Drinking Song" and the"Song of the Vagabonds."

Catarrh blocks nose and throat!—also 12 head cavities situatedin your cheek bones, forehead, andat the base of your brain, as yousee from the diagram.

Catarrh is caused by germs youbreathe In. Germs must be destroyedto cure catarrh. Infected mucou3must be cleared from every one ofthose 12 head cavities. Sprays,gargles, and oily drops cannot do this,because they stop at the nose andthroat. Karsote vapours penetrateevery cavity. Karsote destroys germs,loosens mucous, and clears theremotest passage in your head.Sprinkle a few drops of Karsote onyour handkerchief. Inhale deeply.You feel the rising vapours going in,and the tight grip of mucoua looseningright inside your head, Karsotenever fails to bring relief. Laboratorytests have proved that Karsotedestroys the germs of catarrh, colds,coughs and influenza in a few minutes.Karsote Inhalant is obtainable at allChemists and Stores, pocket size 1/4,family size 2/-.

GROCERS' AWARDCRITICISM BY UNION

AGREEMENT WITH EMPLOYERS

CONFLICT WITH EVIDENCE

[by TELEGRAPH—ntESS association]WELLINGTON Wednesday

"Members and officers of the variousunions are entirely in agreement withthe employers regarding clauses in thisaward, which are of no benefit to eitherside," says a statement issued to-dayon behalf of grocery employees, in com-menting on the new Dominion grocers'award. "The employers have alreadygiven their viewpoint, and in reply wowould like to state the unions' view 011these matters.

"The most contentious clause is thatdealing with hours of work, and woare with the employers' representa-tive when he states that the award isin direct conflict with the evidence.The Court has seen fit to put in thowords: 'Between the hours of 8.15 a.m.and 5.30 p.m. on four days, 8.15 a.m.and 9 p.m. 011 the late night, and 8.15a.in', to noon on the half-holiday.' TJIOCourt has nullified the workability ofthis clause by adding that work becontinuous, and that only seven andthree-quarter hours can be worked onfour days, nine and a-quarter hours onthe late niglifc, and three and a-halfhours 011 the half-holiday. We submitthat the Court should make its decisionon the evidence submitted, and wostate that the cvidenco was definitelyin favour of fixed hours of opening andclosing of shops, both on tho em-ployers' and the unions' claims.

No Fixed Closing Hour"The Judge in his memorandum

stated that the Court had omitted theclause relating to the closing of shops.We are at a loss to understand thoreason for this, as both employees andemployers asked the Court to fix theclosing hour. Now it is left that shop-keepers may keep open until 6 p.m.in accordance with the Shops andOffices Act, which gives an employerwho has no assistants unfair ad-vantage over other employers in theindustry. No definite time has beenstated as to when a shop shall close,but only when employees shall ceasowork. Therefore, the Court hasdefinitely given an unfair advantageto the small grocer who does not em-ploy a staff over those shops which do.

"In regard to wages, the union sub-mits that on tho evidence and thoamounts offered by the employers tomanagers, both in Auckland and Gis-borne, the difference of 10s in theaward is not sufficient.

Delay in Issuing Awards"We also agree with tho employers

regarding the delay in the issuing ofawards, and contend that it is not fairto either side that they should have towait so long for the completion ofawards. We contend that we are fullyentitled to retrospective payment, butwe do protest ou behalf of our fellowshop assistants in other trades, whosoclaims for au award were heard pre-viously to ours, against their havingstill to wait because the Court gaveprecedence to our award. We submitawards should be issued in tho orderthat they are heard. These assistantshave been deprived of back money,which throughout the Dominion willrun into many thousands of pounds.

"Further, \e protest emphaticallyat the Court granting only one week'sholiday to assistants, where in otherawards the same Court has granted afortnight's holiday, as in the ClericalWorkers' Union, and we fail to seothat clerks' work is more arduous thanshop assistants' work."

WAGES ISSUEMETAL WORKERS' CLAIM

PAID HOLIDAYS SOUGHT

DISPUTE FROM WELLINGTONj Higher wages and paid annual holi-days were among the changes soughtby the Wellington Metal Workers' As-sistants' Union in a dispute with theWellington Engineers, Metal Workersand Iron and Brass Founders' Unionof Employers over the terms of a new-award heard ii. the Arbitration Courtyesterday. Mr. Justice 0 Regan pre-sided, and with him were Mr. \V. CecilPrime and Mr. A. L. Monteith. Theemployers' union was represented byMr. T. 0. Bishop, of Wellington, theUnion Steam Ship Company, Limited,by Mr. K. A. Belford, of Wellington,und the workers by Mr F. JL\ W aish,of Wellington.. To avoid delay it had been agreedby the parties- to have the hearingof the dispute in Auckland instead ofin Wellington.

Mr. Walsh said the workers askedfor an award to cover welders andother tradesmen, welders' assistants,furnacemen. grill, sash and casementworkers, men engaged on steel pipework, structural steel workers, includ-ing crane men in foundries and yardswhere steel construction work wasbeing done, storemen in foundries,plumbers' labourers, lift workers, metalsprayers, enamellers, rivet-heaters,holders-up and cupola furnacemen, inaddition to those workers to whom thelast award applied.

The metal workers' assistants' unions

in Wellington, Auckland, Otago andSouthland. Mr. Walsh continued, hadmade application for the registrationof a federation with the object orobtaining a Dominion award, and todefine clearly the application of thataward it was suggested that the Courtshould make it apply to the semi-skilled and unskilled sections ol theindustry. .

The union opposed a claim by theemployers that the hours of workersemployed by freezing companies shouldbe those fixed by the New Zealand(except West field) freezing workers'award. The effect of this, it was con-tinued. would be to increase hoursfrom 40 to 44 a week. Another claimthat the hours of workers engaged onship repairs should be 44 a week wasalso opposed by the union.

COMMUNITY SINGING

Items by members of the CanterburyRugby League team were features ofthe successful community singinggathering, held at the Mayfair Theatreyesterday. Songs were also given byMiss .Joan King and Mr. Ron. .lensen.Mr. Vernon T. Drew led the singingand the accompanist was Mrs. Barring-ton Snow.

"KIDNAPPED"STIRRING FILM FOR CIVIC

The border between England andScotland at the beginning of the 18thcentury provides a rugged but beauti-ful setting for many scenes in the screenadaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson'sfamous novel "Kidnapped," which willcommence a season at the Civic. Theatreto-morrow. Freddie Bartholomew makesa welcome return to the screen, whileWarner Baxter and a newcomer toHollywood films Arleon Whelan, arealso prominently cast. David Balfour(Freddie Bartholomew), while stayingwith relatives in America, learns thathis lather lias died and that he hasinherited the, family's ancestral estate,just north of the border. \About thislime the Duke of Argvle (C. AubreySmith) has announced the union of theEnglish and Scottish Parliaments, andthe clans, under the leadership of AlanBrock, are strenuously opposed to theunion. On his way home. David wit-nesses. Ihc murder of the king's tax-collector by one of Brock's men. andthe rebels take the bov with them astliev ilee. Later David is allowed tojourney to his borne, where he dis-covers that his uncle is making plansto take over the estate. The boy iskidnapped and taken on a boat boundfor America, where he is (o be soldinto slavery. The ship picks up a pas-senger and Da\iu recognises him asBrock. They succeed in escaping andforce the hoy's uncle to give up theestate, but in the meanwhile Brock,who has a price on his head, has beencaptured and sentenced to the gallows.The doomed man wins the favour ofthe Duke of Argvle by ordering theclansmei] to stop the rebellion and re-turn to their homes, and the sentenceis commuted to exile. The film is not-able for the outstanding acting ofFreddie Bartholomew in a role rathersimilar in some respects to that whichho played in "Captains Courageous."Warner Baxter is seen nt his host ina vigorous characterisation of the rebelchief, while Arlcen Whelan shows dis-tinct promise in her first screen ap-pearance. This production, which comesfrom the. studios of 20th Century Fox,was produced by Darryl F. Zanuck anddirected bv Alfred Wer^r.

NEW MAGISTRATEME. G. G. CHISHOLM

TEMPORARY APPOINTMENT

TWO MONTHS AT AUCKLANDAppointed a temporary stipendiary

magistratei

to assist in the work of theAuckland Magistrate's Court, Mr.George Galloway Cliisholm, of Napier,took bis seat on the Bench yesterday.Mr. Chisholm, who has been Registrarof the Supremo Court at Napier for thepast 16 years, will remain here for twomonths.

Since the retirement of Mr. WyvernWilson'from the Bench, no magistratehas been appointed to fill the vacancyat Auckland and on various occasionsMr. J. G. L. Hewitt, Mr. H. P. La wry,Mr, W. H. Freeman and Mr. ,T. H.Luxford have assisted Mr. \V. ,R.MfKoan and Mr. C. H. Orr Walker inthe work here. Delays occasioned by aninsufficient number of magistrates haveoccurred and early this month a protestwas made in the Police Court by Mr.Allan J. Moody on behalf of membersof the Auckland legal profession.

A striking instance of the volume ofwork that arises at Auckland was pro-vided yesterday, when every availableroom in the Magistrate's Court buildingwas called into service. For a periodduring the morning 110 fewer than fiveCourt sittings were conducted simul-taneously. Nearly 200 eases involvingbreaches of the Motor Vehicles Act wereheard before Mr. W. R. McKean, Mr.C. R. Orr Walker, Mr. Chisholm andMr. J. H. Luxford, who has been re-lieving at Auckland since Monday oflast week. In addition, a short list ofother police cases was dealt with byAir. Orr Walker and three inquestswere held before the coroner, Mr. F.K. Hunt.

In addition to statutory holidays,the workers claimed a paid annual holi-day of a fortnight, said Mr. Walsh.The principle had been recognised inindustries generally, and it was sub-mitted that it could easily be extendedto the union without placing any unduestrain on the finances of the employers.Provision had been made in about 160awards and agreements last year forpaid holidays. Between January 5 andMarch 3 this year the principle hadbeen applied to 23 of the 33 awardsand agreements made. The fact thata worker was on an hourly rate shouldnot affect the position.

A minimum rate of 3s an hour wasclaimed by the workers; the employersoffered 2s 4d.

After' evidence had been called tosupport the claims of the workers, theCourt adjourned until to-day.

nas the first for 18 years that had broughthark an unbeaten record from Australia, andit was agreed that a message should liesent to the manager, Dr. G. J. Adams, con-gratulating him on the fine performances ofhis team.

The chairman stated that two threefluar-ters in the team, Dick and Phillips, wouldbe opposed to each other in the Aucklandversus King Country match on Saturday.It was particularly pleasing to the Auck-land Union that Dick had won a place inthe third test team last Saturday.

It was stated in a letter from the KingCountry Union that its team would arriveat Auckland to-morrow night and stay atthe Hotel Auckland until Tuesday next, whenit would leave for Te Aroha.

Sir George looked up. It seemed tohis acute ear that a hint of genuineanxiety had come into Larrimore svoice.

At which point he made a mistake—amistake which was to have conse-quences more widespread than he couldhave imagined. He decided to say no-thing of Carol's "understanding" withAntony Sgthern. After all, it wasn't areal engagement-—yet. He couldn't haveLarrimore Crying off at that stage forsuch a silly reason. "My dear fellow,"he murmured soothingly, ''Carol liasnever met Kerr—the pilot—in her life,Otto Flesch is bald, plain and middle-aged, and she and Tony Sothern havealways lived in each other's pocketsmore' or less. I don't think you need beworried by the possibilities ofromanco!"

"Thank you," said Larrimore, "Ionly wanted to know."

He had stooped to knock out his pipeinto the grate. He did not knock it out.He stayed most inelegantly stooping,his breath caught. For Carol Mansonwas standing in the doorway. She waswearing a simplv-cut silver eveningdress. Her eyes were shining. Shelooked unbelievably lovely. And Larri-more realised that she was looking verysteadfastly at him—and that bis heartwas beating as if it must burst hischest.

CHAPTER VI."tou dislike me!"

"And what are you up to, my dear?"asked Sir George. "I thought you'dgone out to a party?"

Carol's eyes shifted slowly, almost re-luctantly from Rupert Larrimore to herfather.

"I'd meant to," she said slowly,"but somehow I didn't feel up to it."

"But you're all dressed up for it.""I know, daddy—do you mind my

breaking in on you? Am I interferingin big business again?"

Sir George laughed, got out of hischair, and put an arm affectionatelyabout her shoulders.

"Not a bit," said he. "Business is alldone with—and we're still friends, ehLarrimore? We were just beginning todiscuss the great question of romance."

To her annoyance the girl felt'her-self flushing.

"Then I'm just in time to help youout," she said lightly.

"I was just going to say that I didn'tthink that looks had much to do withthe question," said her father, winkingat Larrimore.

"In which case I'll bet that Mr.Larrimoro would reply that they hadnothing to do with it at all!"

Larrimore made a little bow."Exactly, Miss Manson. An ugly man

can't afford any other point of view."Sir George stared; then glanced at

his watch. "I can't compete with that,"he said after a little pause. "I'm afraidyou'll have to excuse me, Larrimore.I've an appointment with a film-director, and it seems that they're,never allowed out till after supper. Imust cut along."

"Then I'll say good-night," saidLarrimoro.

"Oh, don't hurry away," said SirGeorge. "Drink a glass of brandy be-fore you go. And Carol will keep youcompany. She's quite a nice girl, forall that she's my daughter."

"I won't bore Miss, Manson," saidLarrimore curtly. "Brandy by itselfcan be quite a good thing."

He was conscious that Carol wasagain looking at him, and he took carenot to meet her eyes

"I'll stay with you all the same, ifthe strain won't be too great," saidthe girl. "After all, as I'm going in the'plane, I think it might be a goodthing if Mr. Larrimore and I got ac-quainted, as they say in the States."

"It might," said Larrimore dryly.But Sir George either failed to appre-

ciate, %or consciously ignored the tonein the airman's voice.

"I'll leave you two to fight it out,"he said cheerfully; kissed his daughterand shook hands with Larrimore."Good-night."

The door closed behind him. Larri-more crossed to where the brandy stoodon a table by the window. As he pouredit out, the decanter clinked twiceagainst the rim of the big bell-glass.When ho turned round, mentally curs-ing his unsteady hand, he saw thatCarol had curled up comfortably onthe sofa in front of the fireplace, andwas watching him with her cheek rest-ing on one hand.

"Don't mind me," she said. "I ex-pect you'll get over it."

"Over what?""Your dislike of me. You do dislike

me, don't you?"Larrimoro evaded the question."Do you think, Miss Manson, that

this modern crazo for plain speakingdoes any good?"

"It makes conversation easier—""And shorter!""I sha'n't take offence if you admit

it, you know," said Carol."Then you ought to! Why should

vou like a perfect stranger to be rudeto youP"

"But you're not a perfect stranger.""This is the second time we've

met—"

"1 don't mean that! I've had aphotograph of you in my bedroom forthe last three years."

Larrimore, who was raising his glassto his lips, set it down abruptly onthe mantelpiece.

"Good gracious!" he exclaimed."Why?"

"Have you never heard of hero-worship?" retorted the girl.

"I've heard of schoolgirl 'hysteria!"said Larrimore, picking up his glass.

Carol sat up suddenly."I can take that," she said. "Don't

get scared. I'm not pretending to havofallen in love with you, or any non-sense of that scrt. But it is perfectlytrue that I've wanted to meet you ter-ribly for quite a long time."

"Thank you. Just because I flew thePacific?"

Carol stood up and faced him. AndLarrimore could never afterwards for-get her as she was at that moment,standing so slim and straight in herwhite dress, like a spear.

"Because you took a risk and broughtit off, Mr. Larrimore. I wish I couldmake you understand 1 Aren't you alittle fed up with all the fashionableslogans—'Peace at any Price' and'Safety First'? I am, terribly! If youonly realised how—how flabby all tjioyoung men I moot seom to be! Tlieywalk along the West End, being aw-fully proud of not being brave! Itmay make them the fine flower of civi-lisation and all that—but I find themthe most crashing bores."

Larrimore looked away and finishedhis brandy. Ho felt that the situationwas getting altogether out of hand."It's nice to find you living up to yourreputation," ho said at last, lightlyenough.

"Which is?"How the girl stuck to her guns!"That of a restless, rather reckless,

vital, gallant person, with the idea

A story of high courage and adventure with a golden thread oflove in its fabric.

firmly fixed in your immature mindthat you're cut out for adventure.Please don't get angry—you asked forit!"

"I'm not in the least angry. Whydon't you think I could bo an adven-tui-er?"

"I'll tell you,. Miss Manson. Oh, Iknow that you've tried your hand atsurf-riding, and speed-boating; that yougo well to hounds; that you're gamefor any new experience with a spice ofrisk to it—"

"Well?"Something suddenly snapped in

Rupert Larrimore. He took a stepforward and took the girl by theshoulders. His fingers bruised her, butshe neither flinched nor recoiled."You're simply not facing, the facts!"he said harshly. "I know that you maybreak your neck out hunting—but theodds are that you won't. You've yourfriends all round you, and you trothome to tea. You don't know a thingabout real adventure—what it's liketo fly blind in a fog for hours whenyou're miles and miles from land; whenyou've no audience to encourage you topretend how brave you are; when yourinside has turned to water; when therain's freezing on your goggles so thatyou can't see your instruments ... Itell you there's nothing in the leastromantic about real adventure."

"But that's why I've admired youso much. I can imagine it all!"

"l?ats!" snarled Larriinore. "No onecan imagine it till they've beenthrough it. And that's why the adven-turer isn't a bit of a romantic figure,but an almighty fool! I took on thatPacific flight for a bet and I've takenon this job of your father's for hardcash!"

"You can't stop me from admiringyou, you know," said Carol softly."May I sit down again, please?"

Larrimore dropped his hands, mutter-ing an apology. "I can understandyour uncle's motive," he said hastily,to cover his embarrassment. "But wheredo you come in?"

"Just to prove how wrong you are,"said Carol calmly arranging the foldsof her frock. "There is romance in anadventure, I don't care how much yourub in your point of view with yourbeautiful strong fingers!"

Larrimoro winced. "I'm sorry. Ilet myself go—for the first time forweeks. It was unpardonable of me—"

"Oh, please!""Of course," Larrimore went on,

"there's another possibility. I may bejust piling on the melodrama. PerhapsI've just—lost my nerve."

"You?""Yes. You know—I'm not really the

ill-mannered boor I've shown myselfto-day. But since that smash I've feltsomehow—stifled!"

He made a baffled, awkward move-ment of one arm, and his lips twitched.

"Is it —the result of the court-martial?" asked the girl gently.

"I don't think so. I'm not the typeto be really happy in any Service. It'spoor young Farquharson I can't get outof my head."

"But you couldn't help it—1 wasthere—I saw."

"Oh it was an accident all right-but one of us misjudged the distance.What I do know is that there was-onesplit second in which I had to decidejust how those two machines shouldcome together—and I chose to savemy own bacon."

Carol shuddered. "Not deliberately,,she whispered.

"No," admitted Larrimore, ' I don tthink it was deliberate. I'm pretty sureit was subconscious —it was all so quick.But there it was. I killed that boy assurelj' as if I'd shot him through thehead."

"This is melodrama, Mr. Larrimore.You're lotting your imagination playtricks with your nerves."

Larrimoro flopped, rather than sat,on the end of the sofa, and knuckledhis forehead. To Carol he seemedsuddenly very much like a small boy,horribly hurt and pathetically ignorantof what had hurt him. She wanted tocomfort him, but she could not seehow it could be done., So she 6implysat still with infinite pity in her eyes.

Larrimore looked up with a .jerk."This won't do," he said fiercely. "Nowyou can see why I'm glad to have ajob of work to do again. Anyway I'vegiven myself away good and proper.And you must have dressed yourself upand cut your party just to meet theadventurer! I'm sorry to have dis-appointed you so horribly."

"I only wanted to know you better,Mr. Larrimore."

The airman achieved a rather lop-sided smile.

"Might we shake hands on that—without prejudice?" Carol went on.

"I think perhaps we might," BaidLarrimore. "Wasn't it the proverbialschoolboy who said that ones friendswere the people who knew one well—and liked one in spite of it!"

They shook hands accordingly with acuriously-embarrassed formality. Andtheir hands were still clasped wheiiAntony Sothern opened the door andwalked in.

CHAPTER VII.END OF AN "UNDERSTANDING"

For a moment neither Larrimore norCarol noticed the young secretary. Hestood just inside the doorway, lookingperhaps the merest trifle too well-dressed in his evening clothes. Themuscles of his face—aided perhaps bytlio necessity for holding his eye-glassfirm—did not .so much as twitch atwhat he saw. To guess at what he feltwas a sheer impossibility. Ballioi, hispublic school, and an ingrained sense ofgood manners, all combined to preservethat impassive mask which is held inEngland to be the infallible hall-markof good breeding—which it isn'tquite . . .

Ho coughed gently and examinedwith some caret the wrapping of a

spray of orchids which he carried inone hand.

"Hello Antony!" said Carol, andfaced him. "What are you doing here?And incidentally have you met RupertLarrimore?"

Sothern gave a stiff little bow."Your father looked in on your uncle

on his way to the Strand," he said."Ho told me he'd left you here, so Ithought I'd come and collect you."

"Collect me?" repeated Carol.Larrimoro's eyebrows rose."We're joining the Hayward's party

at the Porchester," Sothern went on."Have you forgotten," inquired

Carol, "that I rang up and told you Iwasn't coming?"

"I have not. You also said you felttired and were going to bed early.When your father mentioned that youwere both up and dressed, I naturallyconcluded that you'd changed yourmind."

"I'm sorry, Antony—you've hadyour journey for nothing."

Thero was an uncomfortable pause,broken by Larrimore making hisapologies and saying ho must go.

"Coming on any of the trial flights,Miss Manson?" he ended.

"Every flight—what do you think?"retorted Carol.

"Then I'll be seeing you." Larrimoremoved deliberately over to Sothern.There was something of the inspectingofficer in the way in which lie lookedthe young man up and down.

"I believe you are coming on the triptoo, Mr. Sothern?"

The right laxative for a youngster isa child's laxative not something in-tended for grown-ups. When a childfights against taking such doses, heprobably has gobd caiise. The taste 'may be offensive, or the action harshand disagreeable.

So, for your youngsters' salte, try"California Syrup of Figs"—'Califig.'

It's a real child's remedy. In flavour,as delicious as pure fruit syrup. And inaction, just as gentle as mild vegetableingredients can make it. Doctors,knowing this about " California Syrupof Figs," recommend it to mothers.This same pleasant effectiveness alsomakesit suitable for others in the family—young or old, especially for a omen—-with whom it is important to avoid theshock of stronger, harsher laxatives.

"California Syrup of Figs" is soldby all chemists and stores everywhere.Be sure to emphasize the name'" California' and look for ' Califig ' onthe package.

IT'S BIGBecause it carries nine namesand each ono an individual star.

IT'S MODERN

Because it stresses the smart,witty, "unconscious" typo ofcomedy so popular to-day.

ITS WHAT YOU WANTBecause it has a tip-top storyof ludicrous situations that leadto hilarious romanco.

IT'S UNIVERSALBecause it travels from sophisti-cation to slap-stick . . . fromdrawing room capers to kitchencomedy ... in fact it has some-thing for everybody.

IT'S ANOTHER HAL ROACH WINNER.
