There is still little activity on the localStock Exchange, though a few more orderswere about this morning.

In the banking section New- Zealandsimproved their position with a sale firstat £2 6/9 and a later one at £2 7/, com-pared with £2 6/6 before the holidays.More were available at the higher figure,but buyers dropped back to £2 6/6.Commercials looked steady between 19/11and £1 0/2.

New Zealand Breweries failed to main-tain yesterday's rise, and sold back to£2 12/, with more available at that figureand buyers 6cl below.

Yesterday's firmness in New ZealandNewspapers was confirmed in business attwo guineas, and more wanted with subse-quent sellers at £2 3/.

Buyers came in for most issues ofGovernment stocks at late rates, but therewas little offering.

Values Fluctuating.The market was fluctuating at noon,

small rises being recorded in E., S. and A.Banks, Australian Glass, Farmers' Trad-ing, Union Oils and National Timbers, anda slight decline in Electrolytic Zinc pre-ferences.. while Kauris, Devonport Ferrysand Woolworths (Sydney) were traded atsteady values.

Bank of New Zealands developed aweaker tendency, with holders willing toaccept £2 6/9 after buyers had droppedback 6d.

DEMAND FOR WOOL.

WORLD STOCKS LOW.i

LONDON, April 20.The "Financial Times" says the world

demand for wool is absorbing supplies sofast that stocks are the lowest 6ince 1930.Australia, New Zealand, the UnitedStates, Argentina, South Africa andUruguay all report increased inquiries andfirmer prices.

Keen bidding is expected at the Londonsales on May 5. Wool held over from tneMarch sales amounted to 18,137 bales, com-pared with 73,928 bales held over fromMarch last year. Bradford spinners areholding off in the hope that prices willdecline, as they declare that yarn quota-"tions can with difficulty be advanced in

relation to the cost of wool.It is possible that, in order to attempt

to maintain wholesale prices, staple fibremay be mixed with wool, but wool pricesare more likely to rise than fall, the dangerof higher prices leading to partial substitu-tion being offset by woollen goods beingmore fashionable than they have been formany years. European politics are the

■ chief threat to stability.Pressure of business at Bradford has

somewhat abated, but the foreign demandis likely to maintain prices. There havebeen steady sales to Russia, which wasunable to cover her requirements at the

, March series in London.

MARKETS AT A GLANCE

GROCERY TRADE WELLMAINTAINED.

iSTOCKS CANARY SEED ARRIVE.

GINGER MARKET HIGHER.

"Auckland Star" Office,Tuesday, April 21.

Following on merchants oj)cning theirwarehouses after the Easter holidays, allsections of the trade experienced an excep-tionally heavy rush of business, which con-tinued right on throughout the week.Business yesterday was quite good, andfrom the mail orders still coming tohand a continuance of the present activityis anticipated for the rest of the week.

General News.Tobacco deliveries were particularly

1heavy during the latter part of last week,apparently most stores and tobacconists'selling out of the greater portion of theirstocks during the Easter holidays, necessi-tating fairly substantial replenishments.IA small shipment of Australian prunes in71b tins has just arrived, and as the

: market was in short supply prior to this1arrival, quite a substantial demand isbeing experienced. • Supplies of walnuthalves, which have been fairly short insome quarters, have again come to hand,and as quality is considered excellent forthis time of the year and prices owingto late offers beiug made very attractive,landed costs have made the propositionquite an excellent one to the retailer.Supplies of Canadian macaroni have alsobeen in short supply, and welcome con-signments are now to hand ex the s.s.Mariposa just arrived. Landed costs,owing to increases in f.o.b. rates, are frac-tionally higher than formerly. Peanutkernels have also been extremely light onspot, with merchants endeavouring tomake supplies last until new arrivals cometo hand by the next Eastern directsteamer about the 10th or 12th of nextmonth. Shipments of golden bleachedraisins landed to a bare market yesterdayand are expected to be distributedpromptly. A line of English glue thatpreviously has been in rather short supplyhas just come to hand, with costs work-ing out fractionally higher. A new linein 2oz packets of tobacco will be avail-able throughout the trade at the begin-ning of next month, and is expected toachieve instant popularity, as it is spon-sored by a well-known English house,which has been selling other packs underthe same brand for a considerable time.Late arrivals from overseas and coastalports comprise walnut meat, goldenbleached and natural Thompson's bulkI aisins. carton seeded and seedless raisinsin well-known brands, Californian prunes,salmon in pinks, Colioes and Sockeyegrades, Canadian macaroni and vermicelli,bulk desiccated coconut, packets l's and%'s desiccated coconut, bulk and cartonloaf sugar, breakfast foods from the Southin well-known proprietary brands, bootpolish, disinfectants, ground rice, chewinggum in various packings, English bulksalt, as well as s's bags plain and iodised,baking powder, malt extract, bulk malt,pel atino bulk and packets, medicinal pre-parati jns, oatmeal and rolled oats in 4 s;20's and 100's bags, wax and safetymatches, etc.

Canary Seed.A fair quantity of new season's Argen-

tine canary seed came to hand by the s.s.Mariposa last week. In consequence ofthis consignment arriving to a bare mar-ket, further supplies were quickly distri-buted and merchants are now waiting onfurther supplies, which are expected toarrive by tne next vessel from 5r risco.

Cochin Ginger.Quotations for Cochin ginger for direct

steamer shipment have been increased 10/per ton. Indications are for a further

( increase.pineapples.

' A firmer tone is now in evidence in1 most lines of Singapore pineapples. Quite1 a number of packs remain unchanged atlast rates, but an increase of '/id perdozen is advised on such lines as slicedand crushed packings.

Tapioca. '

The market for tapioca remains steadyand featureless, with prices on Penanggrades unchanged. On the other nawdjsmall pearl sago shows an increase of l%dper cwt. Reports to hand indicate thata parcel was submitted for the next directsteamer at slightly under to-day's < list;rates and confirmation has been received.Singapore sago flour remains unchanged.

Pepper.Quotations for pepper are a shade easier

oil round, and are now being offered atwhat is considered the most attraef'velevel seen for some years. There seemsto be no life at all in the market and atpresent no indication of an improvementin this market can be seen.

Sicily Almonds.Latest reports indicate that stocks of

Sicily almonds in London are exhaustedand forward quotations are withdrawn.

Dried Apricots.Heavy sales of South African dried

apricots have been advised from London,this applying particularly to slab quality,which have been sold in large quatitieson account of costs being slightly underAustralian. The latter have now beenwithdrawn on account of stocks in Aus-tralia being exhausted.

Lexlas.The Commonwealth Dried Fruit Control

Board advise that special quality lexiaswill be available in fancy cellophane wrap-ping for new season's delivery. Sampleshave not yet been received.

Desiccated Coconut.Quotations named about a fortnight

ago advised that the market for desiccatedcoconut was fairly easy and a reduction of1/ per .cwt was advised. Since then, how-ever, the market has steadied up some-what and the latest quotations availablestated that there was no alteration.

Dried Fruit.Considerable business has been placed

with Australia for supplies of new sea-son's sultanas and currants, buyers havenow received confirmation and suppliesare being eagerly awaited. The ControlBoard advise that owing to the highquality of the sultana, pack this year,they consider that it is very unlikely thatthere will be any one-crown sultanas avail-able this season.

Resin.The market for American resin con-

tinues to show a firm tone and late quota-tions received by cable advise an advanceof 4/6 per ton on G and 1/6 per tonon N.

Turpentine.Late cables received from America in

connection with quotations on Pine Treeturpentine indicate that the fall in themarket has now been checked, with theresult that prices are much firmer, latestcables received advising an increase of %dper gallon.

COMPANY AFFAIRS.

TALISMAN DUBBO.

YEAR'S PROFIT, £6539.

PURCHASE OF £8000 BATTERY.

The directors' suggestion to buy a bat-tery for the treatment of coarser ore :nthe mine was endorsed at the sixth annualmeeing of Talisman Dubbo Gold Mines,Limited, to-day.

Treatment of pay ore had been con-tinued at the plant of the Golden Dawnmines, the chairman, Mr. W. F. McCallum,said in his report, but the working, trans-port and treatment charges did not permitof ore of a lower value than 12dwtper tonbeing profitably treated. The result of thedevelopment work and the experience ofthe nature of reefs and leaders had satis-fied the directors and the mine managerthat a treatment plant for the mine wouldbe justified at an estimated cost of £8500.

The proposal of the directors, endorsedby the shareholders, was that profitsshould be appropriated to the cost of theplant instead of to the payment of divi-dends. It was believed that the reducedcost of treatment and transport and thehigher percentage of extraction thus pro-vided would considerably enhance thenetreturn to the shareholders. In addition tothe £1500 placed to the battery reserveaccount, net profite since the end of theyear under review were being accumulated,and tip to March 24 amounted to a further£2178. It was stated later in the meetingthat the total credit towards the cost ofthe battery already stood at some £4000.

Mr. McCallum added that any balancenecessary, over and above what wasalready in hand, was intended to be pro-vided by the disposal of sufficient of thecompany's reserved shares at a price to befixed when further capital was needed, andthose shares would be offered pro rata tothe shareholders.

The chairman further gave figures toshow that there was a great amount ofore in the mine still to be worked. Forthe past two and a half years records andcalculations had proved correct as to thequantity of ore present—on two levels inthe time mentioned 6037 tons, valued at£45,326, had been stoped out—and it wassafe to assume that the same calculationsindicating the presence of vast quantitiesof ore were also corrcct.

According to the latest report of Mr.Downey, inspector of mines, there was abig block of ore 500 feet in depth andmany hundreds of feet wide which was notmined by the company because it was toolow in value. "When we open it lip," saidMr. McCallum, "it may well be worthmining with gold at double the price."At present a total of 12,000 tons of orehad been proved in the mine, which atthe ruling rates waa worth nearly£100,000.

Until now the cost jer ton for treat-ment had been £2 10/, but he hoped thatwith the provision of the mine's own bat-tery the cost would be reduced to 1"/. Itwould be seven months, however, beforethe battery wari in commission. He pointedout, too, that the battery would be ableto treat the "pug" between the reefs,which would bring down the cost of theordinary reef ore. He added that themine was not operating in old country•but in new.

The accounts, which have been analysedin the "Star," showed the net profit forthe year was £6359, of which £882 wasbeing carried forward. The retiringdirectors, Messrs. G. S. Poole and R. H.Montgomery, were re-elected, theirhonoraria to be £150.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

SOUTHERN POTATOES SELLING

SHORTAGE OF BARLEY,

Since Inst report potatoes have com-menced to come forward from the South.About 1500 sacks arrived last week, andto-morrow the Port Whangarei and Wai-piata will bring supplies aggregating about2500 sacks. Some merchants are stillselling the balance of their Rangitikeipurchases, the ruling price being about£9 10/ per ton, while Southern commandsfrom £9 2/6 to £0 10/, according toquality. Condition is still a doubtfulfactor with Southern shipments, and fewof the arrivals bear the graders' certificate,but considerable improvement is expectedwithin the next ten daj-s. The localdemand is quite good.

Onions are rather slow of sale. A fewhave come up from the South in fulfilmentof early orders, but they have not beenrequired, as plentiful supplies of goodquality are still available from Pukekoheand other local sources.

There has been no alteration in thepollard market. Fluctuations in Austra-lian centres have not brought lower quo-tations, and the local rate is unaltered.Bran sells slowly at late rates.In horse feed B Cartons arc still sellingat 4/ per bushel, but chaff is firmer, andmerchants are now charging £8 per ton.

Wheat is unchanged. Very few gradedlines are available, and merchants arccompelled to buy undergrade by sampleswhich vary considerably in quality.

Maize is dull of sale, this being due tothe high prices asked. However, thisposition may bo remedied within the nextfew months, wlien the new local cropbecomes available. It is reported that tlx:output, both from Gisborne and the Bayof Plenty, is likely to be substantiallybetter than was expected. Some early lotsmay bo available in about a month's time.Meanwhile the market is well suppliedwith South African, and fresh suppliesare expected from the same source andfrom Java next month.

Barley is still in short supply due to thedelay in ai'rival of Australian supplies,which arc now expected by the Omana onApril 27. Meanwhile, the hopes of theGovernment that their restriction of im-portations would lead to Southern growerssupplying this market have not been ful-filled, as prices asked for Canterburyconsignments are considerably above Aus-tralian parity, in some cases as much as ashilling a bushel higher. The local pricehas been advanced 2d a bushel, to 4/5, atwhich rate there is a keen demand fromstock feeders.

Wholesale CuTent Prices.Pollard and Bran.—Mill prices: Pollard,

£7 per ton; bran, £6. Merchants'prices: Pollard, local, £7 10/ per ton; Aus-tralian, £8 17/6; bran, £6 15/.

TWO SIDES.FARM WORK SHORTAGE

CONDITIONS IN QUESTION.

REGISTRY OFFICE VIEWS.

"Labour Shortage." "No Farm Hands."PAcute Need"—for many weeks nowdeadlines have told a seeminglydesperate story of a lack of men forfarm labour in the midst of unemploy-ment; there are men earning a barepittance ou sustenance and relief pay mthe cities, and from the hills and fieldsand valleys of the country comes the

cry of the farmer for men and boys.In theory at least it seems a ludicrousposition. What is at the bottom of i

all?An Auckland registry office proprietor

laughs at these headlines, for he s^y sthat on almost every day during to

past fortnight he has had up to thntymen in his office eager to snap up everydecent job. And there, in his opinion, isthe crux of the whole matter. Livingand working conditions, he said to-day,meant as much as, if not more than,recompense in cash. While readysay that the fault quite often lay withthe farm hand himself, the job-finder,himself once a farmer, said that he hacla black list of 59 men to whom he wouldnot send a man, because he had foundthat the men would not stay.

The Good and the Bad'."The whole trouble is that during the

hardest years many farmers tookadvantage of their farm hands, especi-ally in regard to living conditions andfood," he said. "As in everything thereis good and there i 3 bad, and to-day thegbcd farmers are finding that they havetb pay for the "wrongs Of the bad. Ikuaw of one man not far from Auck-land who has had 28 men this lastBeason. The longest time any one ofthem has stayed has been three weeks.Some farmers drive hard.

Turning again to his experiences infinding men for farmers, the registry mangaid that anything good at about 30/

per week and found was being snappedup. There were not quite so many boysready to go as tliere were men, but he

was sending a fair number of inexperi-enced boys to districts as far away asOpotiki and Whakatane to fill jobsat 15/,fare paid. They were good boys, andgood farmers, too, evidently, for he hadhad many letters of appreciation.

"There is another trouble," he said."Some men cannot pay their fares to ajob. A lot of them are on sustenance,and they simply haven't the money."

Some Youths to Blame."I find there is no shortage of farm

hands wherever conditions as well aswages are right. I can fill all the posi-tions which farmers tell me about aslong as working and living conditionsare stated accurately and promisereasonable comfort and decency. But Imust in fairness to the farmers say thatthere are some bad youths and menand, my word, they are tough—and theblame often lies with them."

Just then there came into his room ayouth who had been doing farm work atone or two places. The registry manreferred the matter to him. "Yes," saidthe boy, "if all farmers were like theone I have just been working for, everyposition would be filled." While he wasworking at Te Holie he slept out in acomfortable two-roomed shack. On anaverage day he would rise at 5.30 a.m.,

do the milking, clean the sheds, have hisbreakfast, and then get on to fencingwork, firewood or ragwort. At 3.30 p.m.came the night milking and the day wasover by 6.15 p.m. On Sundays themilking only was done, while the publicliolidavs were similarly observed, andhe could have Saturday afternoon off forthe asking. He got six weeks' holidayin the winter months.

The job-finder quoted men with whomno one would stop. There was surelysomething wrong, for not all farm handswere no good. It was a sure way oftelling what a farmer was like when hecouldn't keep his men for long.

At that moment, by a coincidence, a

farmer friend of the registry man camein. Yes, there certainly were goodfarmers and bad. Was it the positionthat the good had to pay for the bad.Yes that was the whole thing. Therewere bad farm hands, too, and if theycame to him they would "get a blast,God help theml" ;^—

FORTUNES WON.

IRISH SWEEPSTAKES.

U.S.A. INVESTORS SCORE.

CALIFORNIAN CLERK'S LUCK,

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.In the freight office of the Matson

Navigation Company at Wilmington,Southern California, lay a drawerful ofletters, many of them in a femininehand, and all addressed to JosephScaiefe, billing clerk, but they allremained unopened. Likewise the hun-dreds of telephone calls coming into theoffice for "Joe" were unanswered. Forthe quiet, retiring, 36-year-old bachelor,who held a ticket on Eeynoldstown, thewinaer in the Irish Sweepstakes ofDublin, which entitled him to a prize of150,000 dollars, had gone into hiding tododge the fortune hunters.

Ever since it had become known threedays before the race of the GrandNational Steeplechase at Aintree,that Scaiefe held the ticket of Rey-noldstown and was assured of a prize ofat least 3000 dollars, he had been besetby inventors, real estate men, insuranceand automobile salesmen, beggars andall manner of persons with things tosell or charities that needed funds. Andnot the least of his worries were women,for it became noised around that Joewas a bachelor.

So on Tuesday Joe and his mother,vlio lived together in an apartment at26, Alamitos Avenue, Long Beach, movedquietly in the night to an unannounceddestination. There were rumours thathe had come to San Francisco to conferwith his brother-in-law, Hugh Gallagher,operations manager of the MatsonNavigation Company. There wererumours that he had flown back to LongBeach, but the "Auckland Star's" SanFrancisco correspondent found upon

investigation that Scaiefe had remained <in Southern California withdrawn from -public notice. iIn the meantime lie liad sought legalopinion in San Francisco and accepted -an offer of 9500 dollars for a half inter- .est in liis Reynoldstown ticket, this ;being the highest bid he had obtained j,on the day before the Aintree race |classic. After the race, when he learnedthat Reynoldstown had brought him inas a winner of the first magnitude,Scaiefe hurried to San Francisco anddecided to proceed to Ireland to claimhis fortune in order to avoid enormoustaxation. With State and Federal taxesUncle Sam would have taken more thanhalf the sum from the 150,000 dollars.

Lawyer Accompanies Him.Scaiefe's lawyer also flew San

Francisco to New York to participatein the negotiations to watch Scaiefe'sinterests. Joe has been with the Mat-son Line and its predecessor, the LosAngeles Steamship Company, for thepast ten years. His friends describedhim as a quiet and reserved fellow,likeable and sociable, but keeping muchto himself and spending most of hisleisure with his mother.

When he bought the sweepstaketicket for lialf a sovereign, he signedthe slip, "The 23 Kid," not as a pseu-donym, for he had no expectation ofwinning, but just for a joke. It wasstated that Americans would receiveapproximately one-third of the 7,268,770dollars paid to ticket holders in the |Irish Hospital Sweepstakes the worldover. Fourteen Americans held ticketson the horses which came in first,second and third—Reynoldstown, Egoand Bachelor Prince. Five had ticketson Reynoldstown, which paiddollars each; four liad tickets on Ego,worth 75,000 dollars each, and five hadtickets on Bachelor Prince worth 50,000dollars.

Other Prizes.Miss Martha Wellington, New York,

secretary of the national advertisingmanager of the New Yorker magazine,

who won 150,000 dollars, said: I haveno idea what I will do with t.ie inoruiy.

Mrs. Fannie Lebowitz, of Albany, >iewYork State, another 150,000 dollarswinner, said she was "going to makeeverybody happy."

Amos Strout, 71-year-okl bachelorof Salem, Massachusetts, another 150,000dollars ticket-holder, said he had a"hunch" he was going to win, and lefttown before the race was run. His

sister, Mrs. Grace Walkup, said Stroutwould give each of his three sisters andan aunt 10,000 dollars.

Rose Langelien and Reva Shontell, ofLynn, Massachusetts, telephone opera-tors, share 150,000 dollars. "We havenot the least intention of getting mar-ried," they asserted. "We expect plentyof proposals and plenty of salesmen, butnone of them will get inside the door."

Mrs. Juliet K. Hammond, widow ofCharles E. Hammond, millionaire Detroitmeat packer, who won 75,000 dollars,liad nothing to say publicly.

Gumpel Sandberg, of New York, aretired clothing merchant, who won75,000 dollars, said he wanted to usethe money to set his eight children upin business, but that all insisted that"poppa should keep the money."

A Trip to Palestine.Bessie and Sam Mash, 60 and 63 years

of age, of Brooklyn, who won 50,000dollars, sold half of their ticket on theday before the race for 3200 dollars,cutting their winnings to 28,200 dollars."Maybe we take a trip to Palestine,"Mrs. Mash said in Yiddish. Her hus-band had other ideas. "See Americafirst," he said.

In Washington the Internal RevenueDepartment, kept an eye on the list ofwinners, but officials said they could notmake an estimate of the Government'sshare until they had full details of thedistribution.

They estimated roughly that winnersof the first prize of 150,000 dollars wouldowe the Government 65,000 dollars eachin income taxes, winners of a secondprize would owe 20,050 dollars, and win-ners of a third prize 9700 dollars. InCalifornia a State tax would furthercut into the prizewinner's money.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY.EIGHTY YEARS OLD,

PIONEERED IN VICTORIA.

TO-DAY'S ANNIVERSARY,

(By C.H.E.)

At the present time public interestcentres in the proposal of the new Gov-ernment to cut down the weekly work-ing hours to 40. Perhaps very fewreaders are aware that it is exactly 80years to-day since the working classesenjoyed the last "cut" of this nature.

A well-known saying in the earlydays of the Labour movement was"Eight hours' work, eight hours' play,eight hours' rest and eight bob a day."The part of this, however, about whichthe late "Dick" Seddon was most inter-ested was the eight bob a day, whichat that time he considered quite suffi-eient for a working man &nd liis family.The ei"ht hours dates before Seddon'stime, and herein lies a story, a ofinterest to us all this particular time,a story the early part of which has itssetting in England.

To-day the originators of the 40 hours'movement are men in high places menin control of the State—but the 48 hours'movement was fostered by workerswhose enthusiasm cost tliem theirliberty, some of them being transportedfrom England to convict settlements,where they suffered ill-treatment andloss of health, in addition to the terriblepunishment of being separated fromtheir wives and children.

James Stephens.The big struggle for eight hours a

day was fought in Victoria, and the manto whom most credit is given was JamesStephens. This Labour pioneer wasborn in South Wales, where he served

| his apprenticeship with his father, astonemason. Bodily injuries later pre-vented his son from following his trade,and he became keen on what is nowknown the industrial world over as the"Chartists" movement. The Chartists

were a band of workers who had formeda lodge (union), and whose members hadsigned a charter embodying six points:Universal suffrage, voting by ballot,annual parliaments, equal electoral dis-tricts, no property qualifications byrepresentatives in Parliament, and pay-ment of members for services—all ofwhich, I believe, have since been won forthe people.

Early leaders of the Chartist Lodgewere arrested and sent out to VanDieman's Land.

James Stephensattended many of theopen-air meetings of the Chartists, andalthough taking a prominent part onmany occasions, always managed toevade arrest. The lodge was ultimatelybroken up by the Government, andStephens then decided to take his wifeand family out to Victoria, where the

stonemasons were very attrac-tive, compared with conditions in theold land, lie arrived at Port Darwinby the barque Elizabeth in July, 1851.

It was not long, however, before hecame to the conclusion that ten hours'work a day in Australian hea,t was some-thing with which to contend, and he setto work to get these hours cut downto eight. He was instrumental in theformation of lodges in various parts ofthe country and particularly in Mel-bourne.

Before leaving England the nine-hourday had been. granted, but men in Vic-toria were still doing ten.

Strike of Masons.Now we come to the story of thefirst 'strike" in Australasia for shorterhours, and possibly the first strike inLabour circles. In the early part of1856, Stephens, with a 4 soap box under

his arm, approached a large group ofmasons at work on the new MelbourneUniversity, then under course of erec-tion. He had chosen a sweltering hotday, when it would not take muchoratory to induce anyone to down tools.The men were enjoying a quarter of anhour's "smoko"—a short period allowedmorning and afternoon where outdoorwork was being carried out.

_

After

speaking ten minutes, Stephensthe stonemasons, among ,

quite a few of his own f , ln„, { - mlav down their tools and ] "

to" where the new Parliament Buildup

was also under construction.At this gathering all the men decided

on a showhig of hands to strike until areduction of hours was granted, andultimately the troAMe ended by the

employers agreeing to a mass meetingbeing held, at which the whole mattercould be discussed. Thus ended thefirst Labour "strike."

On March 26, 1856, the employers andoperatives met in the Queen's Theatre,Melbourne, and Mr. Adam Linacre, con-tractor, was in the chair. It was theroresolved, that the eight-hour systemshould be granted tmd come into fore®on the 21st day of April following. Thuswas inaugurated in Victoria the great-est social blessing which until thattime was enjoyed by workers.

Annual Celebration.Following upon this success it waidecided to hold a combined procession

to celebrate the event. The wife of aScotsman offered to make the banner,the total cost of which was 70/, includ-ing the poles and lettering. For over40 years this banner was flown annu-ally, and even now it lies under care asa treasured possession.

It will thus be seen that since thegreat event 80 years ago to-day, nofurther reduction lias been allowed inthe hours of manual workers, or intrade circles. Realising this, one canunderstand the importance now being

i attached to the measure proposed, thoaim of which is 40 hours a week.

There is a record that away back in1844, in New Zealand, the CanterburyAssociation in Otago allowed stonemasons to work eight hours a day, butthe concession wkas not officially sanc-tioned in a general way, and, in fact,Information about this is very difficultto trace. In New South Wales theei"lit-hour day came into force aboutthe same time as in Victoria.

ITALY TRIUMPHING.

Tor the came that lacks assistance,For thewrong that needs resistanoa,For the future in the distance,And the good that too can do.

When the Italian forces enter AddisAbaba they will not have conquered theAbyssinians, whoso complete subjugation maybe the work of years, but in tlie eyes of theworld they will have triumphed. They willhave triumphed not only over the Abyssinianforces, whose resistance has been lessformidable than was expected, but over thenatural obstacles, which were so great thatforeign military critics almost unanimouslyagreed that the Italians would need years toreach Addis Ababa. It is, indeed, reportedto be an open secret in Europe that Mussolini'smilitary experts on these grounds opposed, asstrongly as they dared, the wholeproject,' andthat he over-ruled them.

In Italy—and not there alone—the victorywill be acclaimed as a triumph over theLeague, and over Britain, which led thesanctions campaign. Here—quite apart fromthe fate of the Abyssinians—is the mostdisastrous result of the Italian victory. TheLeague has failed to prevent the successfulaggression of one of its members againstanother. Not only has it failed, but there issome ground for arguing that the League'sintervention actually rendered the Abyssinians'plight worse than it might have been.Undoubtedly the sanctions campaign unitedthe Italian people, and it stiffened theresolution of the Italian leader to accomplishhis end in the shortest possible time, and byall possible means. It is a melancholythought that the terms proposed in the Hoare-Laval agreement—which was roundlydenounced as a betrayal of Abyssinia andof the League—were more favourable thanany which Abyssinia is likely to be grantednow.

For every war a price has to be paid, andthe price of the Abyssinian conflict will bedisproportionately heavy. The greatest itemin the cost will be —indeed, it is already—thedestruction of confidence in internationalagreements, pacts, treaties and covenants,and all that such a destruction means."Shall aggression pay V' asked one ofthe foremost upholders of the League'ssanctions campaign when the Hoare-Lavalplan was revealed. The answer is thataggression may still pay, and that the nationsof the world, though giving lip-service to anideal, are not yet prepared to unite effectuallyin support of it. The nations Avill notabandon the ideal, but it will be many a longday before any of them will feel disposed toentrust an important part of its own defenceto a system of collective security.

IMPORTANT POWER SCHEME.To the consumer of electricity the main

question raised by the Auckland PowerBoard's proposed change-over in the systemof power supply in the city is whether thechange should be made quickly or by gradualsteps over a period of many years. Therecan be no question about the necessity of thechange. At the present time 59 per cent ofthe Board's original direct current areais reticulated for alternating current; theremaining 41 per cent is still a directcurrent area. This smaller portion, however,includes by far the most valuable part of theBoard's district, the city proper; therefore,the cost involved, £306,000, and the technicalproblems to be met overshadow those hithertodealt with. Strong arguments have beenproduced by the Board's manager in favourof a gradual conversion, his, principal pointsbeing that the Board should endeavour, asfar as possible, to keep pace with theconversion of private equipment, and shouldobtain the maximum use from existing plantbefore it is laid aside. Against this, as herecognises, there is the continued additionalcost of maintaining in operation the dualsystem of supply until the change-over isbrought to completion. Only an expert couldstrike a bahtoce of advantages anddisadvantages, but the point -which shouldweigh most heavily with the Board is theeffect upon consumers in the near future. Ithas been the Board's policy in'recent years topass on concessions to its customers ascircumstances permitted, and that policyshould be pursued as far as conditions allow.

TOBACCO CONTROL BEGINS.

In the creation of the Tobacco Board theGovernment is actuated by aims similar tothose which led to wheat control; it hopes toencourage the growing of tobacco by providingan assured market. The Board, as set up, isequally representative of growers and manu-facturers, but the selection of personnel hasbeen exercised as the solo prerogative of theGovernment. It is a Government-appointedBoard. Actually it is the creation of twogovernments, for the basis upon which it isestablished and the powers conferred upon it•were defined in an Act passed by the Coalition.Thus the present Government is merely givingeffect to legislation passed by its predecessor.

The main purposes of the Act are to bringtobacco-growing entirely under licensingcontrol and to prohibit the sale or purchase'of tobacco except by warrant. Thus theAct may be applied to expand or tocontract the area under crop, and itfollows that the Board, as the controllingauthority, must be prepared to deal withany situation arising from a surplusor a shortage. A shortage, of course, can bemet by imports, but a surplus is a somewhatmore difficult problem unless the Board isprepared to take whatever price it can get inthe world market. Production and price regula-tion always rest finally upon the possibility ofoutside sales. They also involve thepossibility of a rise in the price of themanufactured product, and as that is a largefactor in determining demand the ultimatevoice in. this tobacco control experiment will

be that not of the Board, but of the consumer.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Anzac Day.There will be no publication of the

"Auckland Star" on Saturday next,Anzac Day. The magazine section willthis week be issued with Friday'spaper.

"Flesh and Blood" Shows.Thanking the audience for their patronage

at the close of the final Auckland perform-ance of "The Gaieties of 1936" company atHis Majesty's Theatre last evening, Mr. I.Delavale said that the reception that hadbeen recorded to a "flesh and blood" show wasvery encouraging to all stage artists, as show-ing that, in spite of the increased strength ofscreen competition, resulting from the inven-tion of the talkies, a large public was stillloyal to the stage. Streamers were thrownbetween the stage and the audience, and manytributes were presented to the artists.

N.Z. Professor's Difficulties.The difficulty under which a lecturer or

professor in a New Zealand university collegeworks in trying to keep abreast of the timesin a subject like physical chemistry was men-tioned in a letter addressed to the council ofthe Auckland University College by Dr. R. A.Robinson, lecturer in physical chemistry.Though he had been but three years in thecountry, ho was already experiencing diffi-culty, he said. Very fast progress was beingmade in tlio subject in overseas laboratories.At his request Dr. Robinson was grantedleave of absence in order that he couldattend the winter and spring terms at Cam-bridge University.

Another Royal George Relic.Still another relic of the loss of the Royal

George has come to light. Mrs. Gaudy, ofKensington Avenue, Mount Eden, is tlio pos-sessor of a souvenir fashioned from the woodof the ill-fated ship. It is a little book withwooden covers, and entitled "History of theRoyal George." But the outside of the coversis as far as it goes, for the pages arc merelya solid block of wood. On the back is aninscription,, as follows: "Recovered from thewreck of the Royal George, October, 1839,which sunk nt Spithead, August, 1782, whenthe brave Admiral Kempenfelt and officers,with upwards of SOO of his crcw, met with awatery grave." And that is all it tells, ex-cept for a mut* story of half a ccntury atthe bottom of the sea and nearly a wholecentury passed in many hands.

Pipiroa Ferry Charges.Further representations arc being made by

the Automobile Association (Auckland) withregard to the last connecting link of theAuckland-Thames main highway. At presentmotorists use the Pipiroa ferry, whichnecessitates delay and also involves chargeswhich the association regards as a toll oradditional burden on the already high taxa-tion for motorists. After 9 p.m. on weekdays users of the ferry are required to paydouble charges for the ferry, and the associa-tion has requested the Hauraki Plains CountyCouncil to consider a reduction in the rates.The alternative to using the ferry is the routevia Ngatea, where extensive repairs are beingcarried out to the bridge over the same riveras the ferry crosses. This route is longer bynine miles.

Trout at Tongariro.The contention that trout in the Tonga-

riro River, have depreciated in quality is re-futed by two Auckland anglers, Messrs. A. H.Gillies and A. McCosh Clark, who have, llshedthese waters for many years, and who quotetheir experience just after tha Easter holi-days in support. Fishing from Wednesdayuntil Saturday, they took 18 fish, with not aslab or a fish in deteriorated condition amongthe bag. The biggest was an eiglit-pounder,and the remainder averaged 01b. They wereall fresh-run fish, and provided excellent sport.Night fishing is very prevalent, and Mr.Gillies urges that it should be restricted, asit is not real sport. The prospects for theremainder of the season, which concludes nextmonth, he considers good, and with someheavy rain there should be many fine fish inthe river and its tributaries.

Mission and Churches.The desire that the churches might take

more interest in the work of the Flying AngelMission to Seamen in Auckland is expressedin the report of the committee of the missionfor 1935. The completion of the beautifullittle chapel in the centre" of the building,states the report, ensures that the spiritualaspect of the work is not allowed to be pushedinto the background. The report continues:"A perusal of the subscription lists, unfor-tunately, seems to point to the fact that themission is in danger of losing, to a certainextent, its Anglican complexion, and that itis little known and very little supported bythe churches. It is not desired that the mis-sion should be in any sense a drag upon thechurches, who have quite sufficient financialproblems to face, but the committee wouldlike to see a little more interest taken in itswork by the churches."

Schoolboy's Hardship.Through the loss of an eye a few months

before his examination, a pupil of the SeddonMemorial Technical College was unable topain sufficient marks in drawing in theUniversity Entrance examination to win apass. The hardship suffered by the boy wasmentioned by the principal of the college, Mr.G. J. Park, at a meeting of the board ofmanagers yesterday. The accident happenedlast August, when the boy was playing atschool. He continued his studies and sat forthe examination in December. "The boy'smarks in all subjects except drawing showedan average improvement of 33 1-3 per cent onthose he gained in the examination the pre-vious year," said the report of the principal."Had the same improvement been apparentin drawing the pupil would have secured apass." Two appeals have been made on behalfof the boy to the University of New Zealand,but the regulations do not provide for such acontingency. The matter is to be placedbefore the Minister of Education, the Hon. P.Eraser, and the Society of Accountants is alsoto be approached. The boy is studying withthe idea of taking up a career in accountancy.

Arrows and Ambushes.Somewhere in New Zealand there is an

unexplored stream infested by crocodiles andtraversing jungles "crawling with hostilenatives," where deadly ambushes await thestranger and poisoned arrows fly. It may notbe in your geography book, but Americannewspapers told of its existence in a syndi-cated message emanating from Hollywooddated March 14. It was the story of "themost dramatic movie premiere of 1930," whena film starring one Errol Flynn opened inBelfast, Ireland. The actor's parents werethere, and saw him for the first time since1932. The account proceeds: "Reporting theincident, the Belfast papers also carried aninterview with R. L. Simpson, who adventuredwith Flynn in New Zealand. He told a storyabout the actor that not even the studio knew.A motion picture troupe hired Flynn to takethem in a 20-ton schooner up the unexploredSepik River, a stream infested by crocodilesand traversing jungles crawling with hostilenatives. Sure enough, the troupe was am-bushed, and five of the police escort werestruck by poisoned arrows. Flynn and thecrew managed to repel the attack with riflefire and to get the troupe back to civilisation.The actor hadn't bothered to relate the inci-dent since coming,to Hollywood." The wholetrouble lies in one word. The scene of thelittle incident should have been mentioned asNew Guinea, not New Zealand. It may bejust another lurid example of ignorance of theDominion which too many parts of the worldeeem to have.

Waitemata Power Loan.Formal notification of authority to raise

a loan of £35,000 has been received by theWaitemata Electric Power Board. Thetreasury Department informed the board atits meeting yesterday that the Order-in-Couneil consenting to the loan had beengazetted. The original proposal was that thesum of £100,000 should be raised for reticula-tion purposes, but the Local GovernmentLoans Board gave authority, to raise only partof the amount, £35,000.

Possible Electricity for Makarau.As the result of a petition from 25 resi-dent farmers, the Waitemata Electric Power

Board is to undertake a survey as to routeand possible revenue' through "the Makaraudistrict, and along the west coast highway asfar north as Tauhoa. The petition of thefarmers stated that they were .desirous ofbeing served with electricity for lighting andindustrial uses, and as a certain revenue hasto be guaranteed before reticulation can beundertaken, the petitioners want the surveyto be made.

Why Not on Anzac Day?The reason why the special Anzac Day

issue of stamps is not being released for saleuntil April 27, the Monday following AnzacDay, was the subject of query this morningby a philatelist. He pointed out that toprivate boxes, etc., there is an Anzac Daydelivery of mail. To have the Anzac Daypostmark on the special stamps would givethem an added value to a collector, and inaddition sales would be increased by thesentiment attaching to the day.

A Big Increase.Except for about a quarter of an hour

yesterday afternoon, when a heavy rainstormbroke over the course, the two-days meetingof the Avondale Jockey Club w,as carriedthrough in fine weather. The meeting proveda great success, and with £45,478 goingthrough the totalisator, or £10,427 more thanat the autumn fixture twelve months ago, theclub should show a substantial profit. Fav-ourites were beaten in the majority of theevents, and during the two days there weresome substantial dividends returned. Thetaxation paid by the investing public is 17Jper cent, and on the turnover the amount paidby the public for the privilege of betting wasapproximately £7950.

"Avondale Weather."Whenever rain falls at an Avonrlale race

meeting the memory of many a delightfulafternoon out there is dimmed, and the well-worn joke regarding "Avondale weather" isrevived. An instance occurred yesterday inthe lounge of a country hotel, when the voiceof the announcer describing Rereatu's win inthe Mount Eden Handicap was blended withthe noise of a heavy downpour, and the voiceover the radio described the rain as theheaviest seen on a racecoursc for years. "Nevermind," said a waiting motorist, "the righthorse won, and it isn't raining here." Anhour or so later, when the pair departed, onewas heard to remark, "Oh, well, it will befine now. The races at Avondale are finished."Truly this tradition dies hard.

Escapes from Prison Farm.Alarm at the frequency of escapes of

boys from the Weraroa Training Farm, nearLevin, was expressed at a meeting of theFoxton Chamber of Commerce. It was pointedout that five youths were at liberty at oneperiod last week. The chairman, Mr. C. R.Tutty, said he had been approached by a localbusiness man with a suggestion that thechamber should write to the Minister of Jus-tice, the Hon. H. G. R. Mason, asking thatthe regulations governing the farm be dras-tically tightened. Business people throughoutthe district, and private residents, said thechairman, also were becoming uneasy becauseof the frequency of the escapes and the lossto private individuals which almost invariablyoccurred. Air. J. K. Hornblow said thoseresponsible for the administration of the farmwere just as concerned as anyone else aboutthe escapades of the boys, and took everyprecaution against escapes, ft appeared tohim that the only sure way was to segregatethe boys on some islands. It was decided towrite to the Minister of Justice drawing hisattention to the number of recent escapes.

Bean Rock.During the Faster holidays, and again on

Saturday last, when a strong steady easterlyand miles of "white horses" gave Waitematayachtsmen some sporting runs, hundreds ofboats encircled or passed near the BeanRock, at present "in the news" because of thereplacement of its light by a more powerfulbeam, made possible by the laying of a cablefrom the mainland. Probably the best-knownreef in the Waitemata Harbour, and provi-dentially placed so as to g/ve a firm stand fora light that is more proof against the un-broken sweep of the easterlies than would' bea buoy or lightship, the Bean Rock is usedas a "winning post" for maritime "sprints,"and its light as an invaluable guide for vesselsmaking or leaving port, since it defines thedeep-water channel. As is only to be ex-pected of a partly submerged reef command-ing two important fortified pas, Okahu andKohimarama, the reef has an important placein Maori history and folkloie. It was. thescene in the seventeenth century of onespecially dramatic episode. Kapctaua, aNgati-Paoa lad from Waihcke, came on avisit to his sister, who had married Tara-mokomoko, a chief of Orakei. His pranks,aided and abetted by his young associates,were definitely received in a "we arc notamused" manner by Taramokomoko. Kapc-taua went, however, altogether too far whenhe and his youths raided his brother-in-law'skumara store—a crime equivalent in moremodern times to sheep stealing. Taramoko-moko lost patience, marooned Kapetaua 011 thelow reef, and left him to his fate. He wasrescued by his sister, with whom he returnedto his people at Waihcke. When he grew tomanhood, for vengeance lie organised a "taua"with which he surprised and captured themainland villages; crossing to Takapuna, healso harried and destroyed tho North Shoresettlements. Finally, at Rahopara, the head-land beyond the Wajrau (Milford Creek), histana met and killed Taramokomoko. To thisday Maoris of the old school call the reef "TeToka-a-Kapctaua" (Kupetana's rock).

Poultry-Farming in North Scotland.In these northern New Zealand districts,

where poultry farming is a pleasant thoughsometimes not a very profitable business, itis interesting to quote what an Auckland girlspending the winter in a beautiful Highlandglen in Scotland says about the attentionwhich has to be paid to poultry during theshort days of winter. The farmer's wife hasto be a very early riser, and gets up longbefore the sun rises. One of the first thingsshe lias to do is to attend to tlie fowls, "forin the dark, short days of winter they go toroost about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and ifthey are to be profitable must be fed veryearly in the morning, many hours before sun-rise, which does not seem to be much beforenine in the morning. Not many houses haveelectric light in the country, and paraffin oil(we call it kerosene in New Zealand) is themain standby for lamps and lanterns. Witha lantern the housewife goes to the fowl-house to feed the birds. It takes a little timefor fowls to get used to the artificial light,but it is wonderful how they adapt them-selves to it when they see the grain beingscattered for their morning meal. Then thereis the early hatching of chickens, and thearranging of this is also done by the light ofthe lantern. The Scotswomen are ideal henwives, and soon get to know the likes anddislikes of their broods. They are never reallyrepaid for the time they put into their work,but it is part of the daily routine, and in sucha cold country it is wonderful the results theyget from keeping at tlieir tasks as theycrop up.

WAITAKERE RANGES.

AUCKLAND'S MOUNTAINPLAYGROUND.

(By GEO. M. FOWLDS.)Behind tho blue ridge of hills on the

western horizon, lying twelve to sixteen milesfrom the city, Auckland lias a remarkableregion not possessed by any other town inthe Dominion. "Magnificent," was the remarkof Dr. Sir A. W. Hill, director of Kew Gardens,London, when -lie stood 011 the top of Pukc-matckeo, at the end of the ranges near Swan-son, overlooking the Cascade Kauri Forest.Here is an area roughly twenty miles longby six to ten miles wide, bounded by thellanukau Harbour and tho West Coast, con-taining over 50,000 acres which is rapidlybecoming a wonderful recreation reserve. Formore than fifty years people who came toknow it and love it have tramped its tracks,ridden and driven on its roads or campedin its groves and on its beaches. Now thatthe highways are being metalled, thousandsof motorists and others are venturing throughthe hills and coming to appreciate the variedwonders of this playground—called the BlueMountains of Auckland.

In this miniature mountain country, withridges and peaks running up to 1500 feet high,are undulating plateaux and gorges, bush andfernclad, with plunging waterfalls and lovelystreams. The name Waitakere means rushingwaters, and all over it arc places bearing theexpressive descriptions attached by theMaoris. From the ridge tops on the easternslopes or the rock-strewn cliffs, on the westcoast, marvellous views are to be had, whichchange in interest from hour to hour. Onlyhe who has stayed for days and weeks orvisited different places on many occasions canrealise the infinite beauty and appeal of thisdistrict. Tho foothills and slopes of theranges facing the city are becoming dottedwith the houses of those who have learned tolovo these everlasting hills. Sunrises andsunsets are ever so much more beautifulwhen viewed from tho mountain tops; andat night the shimmering lights of the wide-spread city make an unforgettable sight.Within an hour's drive of the city, one reachesthe hill crests, presenting comprehensive viewsof the surrounding suburbs and the distantland and islands of the gulf, sixty to seventymiies away. In less than two hours from theheart of Auckland one can now motor rightdown to the surf-ridden, black iron-sand coastof the Tasnian Sea.

Home of the Tall Trees.While man lias worked for nearly sixty

years to cut out the bush, these hills are stillthe home of large timber trees, .and therearc considerable areas of reserves (20,000acres) containing splendid specimens of themajestic kauri tree. Botanists eay that theWaitakere Ranges, being nearly sub-tropical,contain a greater variety of flora than anyother portion of the Dominion. Dr. L.Cockayne, the eminent New Zealand botanist,said, "In the forest reserve in the Waitakeresyou have the finest reserve of its kind in thecountry. It must be preserved from lire andvandalism at all costs, so that it may bekept as a heritage for your children and yourchildren's children."

The fact that the city of Auckland hasgone to these hills in search of a water supplyhas meant the reservation of 10,000 acres. Inaddition, the City Council itself, and also inconjunction with the Government, has acquireda further 10,000 to 12,000 acres of splendidbush. A number of public-spirited citizenshave also given valuable blocks of land con-taining big trees and forest, one property,the Cascade Ivauri Park, containing 0,000,000feet of kauri timber, will some day, whenthe access is improved, be a wonderful picnicspot for the people of the isthmus. It waswhen overlooking this part that Dr. Sir A.W. Hill further said: "Auckland has a noble'heritage; you are deeply indebted to thosewho have worked so hard to preserve thesuperb forest. It is unique. Take care ofit. Protect it, and those who come after youwill revere it. Xo city in Xcw Zealand hassuch a wonderful asset so close to it."

Bird Life Increasing.Added to the beauty of the bush is the

bird life, which appears to be increasingbecause of the extensive reserves and theprohibition of shooting; native pigeons, kakas,tuis and now bellbirds are to be seen in largonumbers. There may still be kiwis and wekasin the dense part of the bush, but theirnumbers have been reduced, by fires, stoats,weasels, cats and rats and now other migrantsarc there—goats, wild pigs and opossums.

Scattered, through the hills are dozens ofwaterfalls, precipitous gorges, placid pools andsmall lakes and lagoons, as well as four man-made dams. One of the most beautiful gemsis Lake Rotokawau (the lake of the shag) atTe Hcnga, or Bethcll's, on the West Coast.Set on a crater-like basin, its bushclad slopesare a delight to the eye. To see the coastin a different mood one needs to visit it whena strong westerly gale is raging. Then thesurf lashes the steep cliffs and throws columnsof spray and spume hundreds of feet up. NcarPiha is a unique blowhole—a salt-watergeyser which can be seen in action at sucha time. Further north at Muriwai, where thecliffs terminate, the famous motor racingbeach commences and runs for thirty milesto the South Kaipara Head.

The day will come when the people ofAuckland will still more appreciate the assetthey possess in the Waitakerc Ranges andenjoy it in ever-increasing numbers. 1 shouldlike to close this article with a finer tributethan I could phrase, by the late Mr. WesleySpragg, who displayed his love of the rangesby giving two parks there to the city: "Whenthese hills were raised and covered with ver-dure, a paradise was created for the dwellersthereby, a heritage for you and your childrenfor all time. Some of it has gone, and gonefor ever. With poor words I have tried totell you of the remnant that is still left.This is yours to protect—yours to extend ityou can. Despite the mischief which has beendone to it, this remnant is still the mostbeautiful of the many beautiful surroundingsof the most beautifully-situated city—'Last,loneliest, loveliest, exquisite.'"

DON'T WE ALL!

"I'm a plain, blunt man, Mr. Williams,"save my friend with unnatural heartiness;and he means by that that he is a cunning,subtle, diplomatic sort of fellow who is aboutto tell some lies. Whenever anyone, eitheravoiding your gaze or uneasily challenging it,says aloud the pronoun "I" followed by aclaim to some definite virtue, you may safelyexpect a lie, or a lecture, or both:—

"I'm only thinking of you, dear" means "1am now about to get a bit of my own back."

"I don't want to make you unhappy" means"I will now repeat to you certain maliciousgossip which will reduce you to sleeplessmisery."

"I'm bound to admit" means "I will nowconfuse the main iseue."

"I'm not one to criticise" means "I shallnow proceed to find fault with all you havedone."

"I'm as broad-minded as anyone" means"All my ideas on this subject are hopelesslyout of date."

"I hope I know my place" means "I amabout to step right out of it and tell you afew home truths."

"I'm a tolerant sort of fellow" means "Ican't endure you another moment and am nowpreparing to throw you out of the house."

These, or words like them, must be theprelude to half the quarrels in the world. Itis odd that we go on using them, and evenodder that we do so in all good faith.—MonicaRedlicli in "The Spectator."

THE PASSING SHOW.

(By THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.)

WIND—AND WELLINGTON.Aucklandcrs had always talkedabout their

city, and thought Wellington was distinguishedfor nothing hut its wind. I was in Aucklandonce when the wind blew a horse and cart fromthe wharf into the sea. Wellingtonians weretoo modest and shy a people. Mr. 11. A.Wright, M.P.

O gentle town! Where soft the zephyrs blow,And lotus eaters wander all day long!

Where members speak in tones seductive,

And Life's one grand old legislative song!What's that you say? No wind? Misguided

Of elements we have no earthly need!For when we want an atmospheric stir

We listen to our Parliament'ry screed!O bashful burg! Let ev'ry wintry wind

Betake'itself to distant pastures new!(No son of Wellington will ever mind

To sprint out for his hat a,.mile or two!)Shrink not, O village shy! It was hot air

For which your city scooped the pool orf3- 11161

„ -KT V.AVhat's that? There's none? Now who onearth would dare

To stop the good old Parliament ry game?

O modest urb! Where vulgar noise is hush'd,And members hide from an admiring world!

Where legislative bills are never rush'd.Invective, quips and gibes are never hurl d!

What is it now? A hurricane of billsDescends upon an unsuspecting town!

Fooh-pooh! It's just a thought or two thatfills

Our primal legislator's brainy crown!

O humble town! Oh', do not jealous beOf Auckland's steed and somersaulting

cart!That fled from Auckland's woes and misery

And sought our harbour's deepest, darkestpart! ,

, „ ,

What's that I hear? A breeze? A wind? Agale? ,

See! In the ocean there's an awful gap!In Wellington there's legislative hail—

NEW ZEALAND'S BLOWN CLEAN OFFTHE BLINKIN' MAP! A—ELLA BASTEN.

A touching—even a solemn—domesticscene was enacted in Queen Street during arecent lunch hour. Indicative as it was of

the almost pious adher-FAMILY FAITH, ence of the populace to

one of the chief indus-tries of a hard-working populace, it is setdown here as a moving demonstration of thatfaith, which, if ye have enough of it, willmove mountains. The family were groupedround a gentleman at a little table. He soldtickets, any one of which might at somefuture pious ceremony be exchangable formuch fine gold. The family apparently signedits several tickets according to seniority.Father appeared to buy the larger number,mother, with great care, filled in a couple,the eldest son—probably educated and verylikely a sixth-standard man—simply dashedoff his ticket, and the girl in the blue, stripedberet screwed her tongue in her cheek andtook a couple. And then there was wee Angus,the flower of the flock, the only remainingmember of that family to be without an artunion ticket. Mother, with great care, filledin the ticket for the bairn, and he wasinstructed to take the pen and make hie mark.This he did, the family approving. The busi-ness finished, the whole family, one after theother, carefully shook bands with the ticket-seller "for luck," and drifted ofT, very likelywondering what they would do with all thosethousands.

In the matter of the infant who swallowedthe penny and in the matter of the recoverythereof, a friend mentions an infantile

experience of liis own. HeCHERRY RIPE, was in the earlier teething

stages at the time andwas biting hard on any accessible object tobring them on. A length of dog chain seemedgood to him and he was masticating the earlierlinks when an adoring relative tickled thedarling—the baby laughed—and the shortlength of chain trickled down the chucklingbabe. The relatives, of course, were horror-stricken, the only one of the party who wasn'tbeing the baby. A medical man, called to thescene, bid all hands be of good cheer, andbarring listening for tho rattle of the links,no further medical measures were, taken.Ultimately all was well. Tho man whoswallowed the dog chain (that was in Johan-nesburg) in later life swallowed lots of cherriesin a New Zealand orchard at the invitation ofthe owner. Other two people partook also,and each of the three ate approximately fromsixty to one hundred cherries. One "of thethree was a hearty feeder. When he hadeaten his share h'e noted that each of hiscompanions had beside him a considerableheap of cherry stones. He was obviously newto cherries, for he said, "I didn't know thosethings had stones in 'em." Nothing of adangerous nature transpired and the lad thatcarried in his interior five score potentialcherry trees exhibited no symptoms of anykind. And since then he has survived manveven more dangerous banquets.

The man in the bus (and in the overcoat)paid his fare, took his ticket, parked it inliis clothes and relaxed comfortably. Later

an inspector stood beforeLOST TICKET, him agitating a pair of

snips. The wretched beingwho bad paid his fare looked like the murdererwho had not breakfasted too well on thomorning of execution; and began dredging hisclothes. He ultimately told present mathe-matician that ho had not previously known(bat when fully attired he carried seventeenpockets on him, including the natty littleaffair inside liis waistcoat next to his beatingheart. So lie searched the lot—and after hohad paid another fare—acknowledging whata rascal he was—he found the ticket in thecuff of his risrht trousers leg. He told presentperson that the incident caused him to dredgeall his pockets when" he got home and thathis wallet disclosed a variety of things he

| had missed for months, including a favouritenail file, a bit of string, four unansweredletters, two unpaid bills and a paragraphabout Mr. Savage cut from a newspaper. In"iR _ trousers he found a pocket, a hole inwhich had been tied up with string—wornby the continuity of cash, and. indeed, inevery one of his seventeen pockets he dis-covered relics of former days. He said hewould simplify hi? burden in the future, for,said he, one never knows when one will bebowled over in the street and "frisked" (asAmericans say) at the hospital for means ofidentification. Ho fancies the searchers mustsmile now and then. "Better to be a girl,"said he. "with only one pocket, and that aglory bag, with a powder rag, a hanky, atram ticket, a mirror and eighteenpence.Have you ever," said he, "seen an aged womandredging her bag for twopence?"

SCENIC AND BOTANIC INTEREST. ,

(To the Editor.)

I have been much interested and pleasedto see that Mr. H. E. Vaile has started amovement for the making of a national parkof the forests on the Waitakere Ranges. Whenformerly a resident of Auckland I was afrequent visitor to these ranges, and I havesince made several visite to them, so witha pretty intimate knowledge of the locality,I can say it is one of very great value fromthe points of view of scenic and botanicinterest. Its scenic'value is derived not onlyfrom the most beautiful views that are tobe obtained from the high main ridges andspurs descending therefrom but also from theabundant, exuberant and varied vegetationwith, which they are clad. I would say,indeed, that, exclusive of the indigenousbeeches and high mountain plants, there arevery few Xorth Island trees and shrubs whichare not growing in great abundance on theWaitakeres, as also are our queenly tree fernsand nikau palms. Even where scrub has takenthe place of the primeval forest, there is anextraordinary abundance of young trees ofall the tall-growing conifers—kauri, totara,rimu, matai, tanekaha, miro and kahikatea—besides other trees, all of which, if the'arch-enemy fire be kept out, will increase in sizeand bring about a restoration of true forest.At present I have no information as to thetenure of the lands, but I expect there isa good deal of freehold, for which compensationwould be required by the owners; nevertheless,I consider such lands should be acquired, and,with the addition of those adjacent alreadypublicly owned, Auckland would possess closeto the city a recreational area which wouldcertainly not be surpassed, if equalled, bythat of any other large city in the world.If the overseas tourist traffic is going to beone of our chief industries, as there is everyreason to believe, then surely it is wise tosecure and preserve those natural beautieswhich make New Zealand of exceptionalinterest to persons of other lands, quite apartfrom the fact that such natural beauties areof direct value to ourselves and will be evenmore so to our children and to our children'schildren. E. PHILLIPS TURNER.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

During the past few weeks quite a numberof letters appeared in the Pres6 relatingto corporal punishment in the Aucklandschools. Most of the writers have, by theway, referred to the secondary schools. Ofwhat goes on there I am not qualified to speak,but as a primary school teacher of manyyears' standing, and as the father of a family,I do know something of the conduct of primaryschools, and I think it most unfair that awrong impression should be spread as to theamount of corporal punishment that is inflictedin these schools. To read some of the lettersone would imagine that quite a number ofour teachers are inhuman monsters ready topounce upon and unmercilessly flog theirinnocent pupils at every available opportunity.Now, as a matter of fact, in the majority ofour _ schools there is very little corporalpunishment indulged in, and the relationshipbetween teacher and pupil is of the very best.That the days of brutal punishments did, tosome extent, exist, is, I am prepared to admit,perfectly true, but those days are past, neverto return. Do parents who write so scathinglyof school teachers ever consider the amountof time voluntarily given by teachers in theinterests of their pupils ? And do such parents

i themselves ever do anything in the interestsof the schools attended by their children? Dothey not often cncourage their children in aspirit of antagonism to their teachers andbring about the very punishment of wJiichthey complain? I have never believed inexcessive corporal punishment, especially ifinflicted for inability to do a given piece ofwork, and I am sure that kindness andencouragement are far more effective than thecane or strap—that is, with children who havereceived some sort of decent training in theirhomes—but to abolish corporal punishmentaltogether would, I am sure, be a great mis-take, not only in the interests of the schoolsgenerally, but in the interests of the verychildren who receive the punishment. Wouldsome parent who has written so scathinglyof teachers and their methods kindly tell mehow to deal with the following cases of mis-

(a) The use of filthy language inthe hearing of innocent children; (b) thewriting or drawing of indecent matter on thewalls of buildings; (c) deliberate defiance ofschool rules made in the interests of thechildren; (d) deliberate defiance of a teacher'sauthority; (e) bullying smaller children. Ifthere is a better way of dealing with theseoffences than by a good old-fashioned "tan-ning" I should be delighted to hear of it.

TEACHER.

RENEWED IMMIGRATION.

The mass majority behind our PrimeMinister is anxiously looking for results,for a resolute grappling with the problems ofthe hour. The outstanding problem is thovolume of unemployment, particularly ill thebig industrial centres of the Dominion. Thechoice of solutions are many and they vary;true, they must be drastic, yet at the sametime wise. Here permit me to lay emphasison some external aspects of the problem. Somemay share the view with the writer that thesparse population of a great wealth-producingcountry is a standing menace to the peace*of a world, when heavily-armed nations likeGermany, Japan and Italy suffer from over-crowding. There is good ground for com-plaint on the part of these nations, especiallyas the Dominions keep large areas of land idle,while great numbers of people in other coun-tries have nowhere to go. May the day soondawn for renewed immigration. Two millionsuitable new settlers of good racial stock,well placed on the soil, from an industrialpoint of view, namely, supplying all the needsof these new arrivals, may be just the kindof quickening which is the best solvent ofunemployment. Referring to renewed immi-gration, we must turn our thoughts first tothe Motherland. Germany's population isgiven as 300.7, Italy's as 349.1 and that ofthe Japanese Empire as 348.5 to the squaremile. But the United Kingdom figure is 504.7,and England, with the exception of Monmouth-shire, has no fewer than 742.2 for each squaremile. A progressive immigration policy maythen determine both security and economicrecovery. HARRY WOODRUFFE.

COSTLESS CREDIT.

In his last letter "Another Barrister" savsthat while I claim it to be necessary toincrease money with increased production, Iadmit that goods can be exchanged by barter.Certainly goods can be exchanged by barter,but in the majority of cases the system iaobsolete. His contention that any increaseof the note issue is inflationary is curious.Every bank overdraft is inflation, but is offsetby repayment, which is deflation. 'If a personborrowed £100 from a bank, drew it in notesand paid his bills with them, thus puttingmoney into circulation, would it be moreinflationary than if he did the eamfi thingper medium of cheques? How could it be whenthe cheques could be changed into notes atany time if the payee so desired? As he stillthinks that credit is not costless, T mustadvise him in the words of the Minister ofPublic Works to "wait and see."

HOPES OF ARMISTICEBLASTED BY ITALY.

GENEVA MEETING.

Benefits to CivilisationClaimed in Victory.

BRITAIN'S STRAIGHT TALK,

United Press Association.—Copyright.

(Received 10.30 a.m.)

GENEVA, April 20,The League of Nations Council met

in private at 10.40 a.m., Mr. StanleyBrucc presiding. The Council decidedlo remain in session to enable its re-assembly should developments neces-sitate this course.

It was also agreed that Abyssiniashould automatically have the right tosit on the Council whenever the Italo-Abyssinian question was discussed.

A public meeting opened at 11 a.m.,Baron Aloisi sitting in Italy's customaryplace between M. Paul-Boncour andtienor Madariaga.

Mr. Bruce opened the public sessionand Senor Madariaga read the reportof the Committee of Thirteen, afterwhich Baron Aloisi addressed the Coun-cil. He attempted to throw the wholeblame of the failure of negotiations onEthiopia, declaring that Italy all alonghad shown willingness to conform to thewishes of the League by conductingnegotiations.

Baron Aloisi dispelled all hopes of anarmistice, declaring that such was onlypossible if it assured Italian occupationof all centrcs of mobilisation, includingthe capital.

"Four thousand kilometres of roads,50 hospitals, numerous schools, suppres-sion of slavery and prohibition of childlabour testify to the civil value of ourmilitary victory in Abyssinia," BaronAloisi said.

Italy's Right to Use Poison Gas.He protested against the suggested

inquiry into Italian use of poison gas,declaring that Italy claimed the rightto reprisals for Abyssinian atrocities.

Wolde Mariam, the Abyssinian dele-gate, contended that Italy never in-tended to negotiate within the frame-work of the League. He protestedagainst the continued and incessantdelays in giving the help to which Abys-sinia was entitled as the victim ofunjustifiable aggression.

He asked the Council fully to applyArticle XVI., preventing aggressiongaining a triumph.

The Council adjourned till 3 p.m.After the adjournment of the public

meeting, Mr. Bruce, Senor Madariaga,M. Paul-Boilcour, Mr. Anthony Eden andM. Avenol, Secretary-General, met inprivate to draft a resolution. It isunderstood they considered a resolutionprepared by the Scandinavian countries,Holland and Spain, attributing failure ofthe peace negotiations to Italy andappealing to Italy to conclude the warin a manner worthy of a member of theLeague Council. v

The afternoon session was preceded bya private meeting at wiich the Councildecided to leave the question of a reso-lution until the general discussion wasfinished.

Baron Aloisi asked leave to make adeclaration. He protested against thestatement that Wolde Mariam 'made inthe morning, that Italy was seeking toexact a price for her co-operation inEurope.

He added that conciliation had failedlecause of Abyssinia's attitude.

Mr. Eden's Attack on Italy.Mr. Eden, announcing that Britain was

prepared to accept new sanction's, said:"If the poison gas protocol can be tornUp, how can the peoples of densely-populated Western Europe be certainthat they will not be torn to pieces,blinded or done to death in agony?

Britain feels the danger so deeply thatshe asks the Council to recall to everymember of the League the obligations ofthe protocol. Moreover, the Covenantmust be binding and inescapable in itsobligations to enable lasting peace. Ifa nation violates it, there can be nofaith in international obligations.

"We are faced with grave decisions.Every Government must clearly stateits policy. Britain retains faith in theLeague as the best instrument at pre-sent available for the preservation ofpeace. If the utility of the League isplaced in doubt each nation will haveto consider separate action."

M. Paul-Boncour associated himselfwith Mr. Eden's remarks about poisongas, but added that it was impossibleto humanise war. There was little hopeonce war had started of enforcing limits.

After other speeches Baron Aloisi, inhis third speech of the day, recalled thatItaly long ago had denounced Abys-sinian atrocities against Italian soldiers,workmen and women. He added: "Ifthese had then been denounced by Mr.Eden world opinion would have beenaroused and the Avar might have beenconducted on a more humane plane."

Wolde Mariam said that Abyssiniawould reply in writing to these remarks.

Mr. Bruce, winding up, said thatnations must continue pressure to endaggression. "If it is abandoned it willbe a fatal blow to the whole principleof collective action and to the rule oflaw in human affairs."

WAR DEPLORED.MOTION CARRIED.

Continuation of HostilitiesRegretted,

ETHIOPIA'S STRONG PROTEST,

United Press Association.—Copyright.

(Received 1 p.m.)GENEVA, April 20.r lhe League Council, in private

session, considered the resolutiondrawn up by a number of "neutral"delegates. The last passage was themost important, and reads: "TheCouncil addresses to Italy a supremeappeal that, in view of the presentcircumstances which require collabo-ration of all nations, she may bringto a solution of the conflict the spiritwhich the League expects from afounder member who has also a per-manent seat on the Council."

The Council reaffirms that the proto-col of June 17, 1925, regarding the useof asphyxiating, poisonous or othergases, and also other conventions regu-lating the methods of war, bind the twoparties to the dispute, and calls atten-tion to the importance given the proto-col by all signatories, including Italyand Ethiopia.

Baron Aloisi objected to the last para-graph in its original form, and secureda modification, so that the resolutionindirectly condemns Abyssinian atroci-ties as well as Italy's use of poison gas.

The early part of the resolution notesthat a report of the Committee of Thir-teen approves and renews the commit-tee's appeal to the parties for a promptcessation of hostilities and restorationof peace, and notes that on April 5Ethiopia, replying to this appeal,accepted the opening of negotiationssubject to observance of the Covenant,and that on April 8 Italy agreed tonegotiation in principle.

The resolution regrets that fjie cessa-tion of hostilities has not been realised,and that the war continues under con-ditions declared to be contrary to theCovenant and involving the execution ofobligations provided by the Covenant.

Mr. Bruce, at a brief public session,put the resolution.

Baron Aloisi announced that he wouldvote against it, and Wolde Mariam com-plained that the resolution did not pro-test against the war of exterminationwhich Italy was waging againstEthiopia.

The resolution was carried unani-mously, the votes of Italy and Abyssinianot counting.

UNDER TEST.EFFICACY OF LEAGUE.

Reason Why Italy CannotCease Hostilities.

BRITAIN AND POISON GAS.

British Official Wireless.

(Received 1.30 p.on.)RUGBY, April 20.

In a speech at the League Council,Baron Aloisi declared that Italy couldnot cease hostilities until peace pre-liminaries were concluded and securityof her forces assured.

He said that never before had anyGovernment shown such good will to-wards the League as that of Italy,which had never refused to take partin discussions under the aegis of theLeague. The Italian Government, how-ever, felt bound to affirm its own prin-ciples and suggestions.

Referring to negotiations at Geneva,he contended that the Italian Govern-ment, by accepting that the League bepresent at the peace negotiations, hadnot actcd in contravention of the spiritof the Covenant. Italy's war in Abys-sinia, he added, was not only beingwaged with shells, but with the latestagricultural implements, and a militaryvictory would bring civilisation toAbyssinia.

He reaffirmed that the Italian pro-posals were not in conflict with inter-national law of the Covenant of theLeague, and constituted the best methodfor reaching conciliation. He objectedto the Committee of Thirteen, whichwas appointed for the purpose of con-ciliation and negotiation, constitutingitself a judge.

Spirit of Peace Appeal Ignored.Referring to the history of the con-

ciliation efforts, Mr. Anthony Eden saidthat it was unfortunate the appeal forthe cessation of hostilities had not beenmet in the spirit in which it was con-ceived. The British Government hadendeavoured faithfully to fulfil herundertaking to take part in measurescollectively and decided upon under theCovenant.

"We were, and are, ready to do this,though wo always have been consciousof the limits which are a consequenceof the League's incomplete membership."Obligations had to be fulfilled, eventhough none could tell whether the ful-filment would be rapid enough or effec-tive enough to determine the issue asbetween an aggressor and a victim.

The British Government was alwaysconscious of the limitation upon Leagueaction. The measures and shape of anycollective action must, therefore, tosome extent represent a compromise.

"What may seem too slow to some! may seem too fast to others. It is nouse to ignore facts. The serious conse-quences for the League of the events ofthe last seven months could scarcely beexaggerated. The confidence which themembers of the League would feel justi-fied in placing in this organisation inthe future must, in large measure,be influenced by the success or failurein the present instance.

Britain's Appreciation of Duty."In the view of His Majesty's Gov-

ernment it is the manifest duty ofmembers of the League, at least tomaintain those economic and financialsanctions already in force."

Referring to the use of poison gas,Mr. Eden continued: "It is, however, inthe judgment of the British Govern-ment impossible not to take account ofthe evidence which exists and which goesto show that poison gas has been usedby the Italian armies in their campaignagainst the Abyssinians, themselvesutterly unprovided with any means ofdefence against this method of warfarewhich has been outlawed by thenations."Future Depends on Outcome of Crisis.Mr. Eden, passing on to consider the

future of the League in relation to theoutcome of action in the present dis-pute, said that there was no nationrepresented there that might not atsome time need the protection of theCovenant. "How much," he asked,"might the efficacy of that protectiondepend on the final outcome of the pre-sent crisis ?

"The League is to-day in difficulties,and it is 111 time of difficulty that wemost need our friends. Although theideals on which the Covenant is basedhave not yet established themselves asthe universally observed rule of interna-tional conduct, it Is my proTound con-viction that they cannot be killed. Theymay not, as yet, at all times direct theactions of Governments, but they un-doubtedly live in the hearts of men."

He emphasised the responsibilitywhich lay upon each one of them toensure that they contribute to theirutmost and within the limits prescribedby the Covenant to collective supportof the authority of the League.

"Only thus can we hope, ultimately,to establish in the world a rule of orderill which aggression does not pay."

FACING ITALY'S ADVANCES.

United Press Association.—Copyright.

(Kcceived 12.30 p.m.)

LONDON, April 20.The correspondent of "The Times"

afc Addis Ababa says that a procla-mation was read to a vast crowd atthe Imperial racecourse, ordering thewhole population of the city to war.Previous exceptions in favour of theservants of Europeans have beenwithdrawn. Every able-bodied manhas been commanded to prepare foodand take his rifle and ammunitionand told that he will receive marchingorders within two days. Malingerersand slackers will be punished by flog-ging and a heavy line. The crowdreceived the announcement with ter-rific cheering and cries that theywould win or die together.

Tho Belgian mission and otherforeigners are departing by a specialtrain. Other sources state that theCabinet met and postponed a decisionon the question of transferring thecapital.

The British Legation at Addis Ababahas been besieged by a horde of personsof all races demanding protection. Thecapital is almost deserted. An endlessline of every form of transport leftthe city all night long in a steadystream.

Volunteers are proceeding to Dessyeto try to check the Italian advance.The city is filled with the wildestrumours. No one knows the position orstrength of the Italians.

Ready to Defend British Zone.Everything is in readiness to defend

the British zone, three miles outsideAddis Ababa. Sikhs arcf guarding itsconfines. Gas masks are available.

Abyssinians are continuing prepara-tions for a last stand, and even brasscanons used at Adowa are being pressedinto service. The Government is in tele-phonic communication with Harrar and'iclievcs that lias Nasibu is preparing astrong defence.

Warriors Take Solemn Oath.Earlier messages stated that 5000

warriors at the racecourse meeting atAddis Ababa took an oath to defend thecapital to the death. A stand will bemade at a distance from the city. Itis believed that if Addis Ababa falls theEmperor can hold out Tor many monthsin tho mountains to the west.

The "Daily Telegraph" Addis Ababacorrespondent states that the Governorhas issued an order prohibiting troopsin flight before the Italians from enter-ing Addis Ababa, as he fears that menfrom remote provinces, regarding allwhites as Italians, may attack theseveral thousand Europeans who arestill here. It is believed it can be onlya matter of days before the Italiansoccupy the capital.

The "Daily Telegraph" correspondentat Jibouti, French Somaliland, says thatthe Italians have occupied Sasa Baneh,after meeting fierce resistance from HasNasibu's well-organised forces.

It is reported that Ankober, only 80miles distant from Addis Ababa, wasoccupied after an air attack.

The reported occupation also of Jijiga,40 miles east of Harrar, has shatteredthe hopes of the Ogaden defence. It isfeared that the railway to Addis Ababawill now soon be cut. The Emperor'swhereabouts arc unknown, but it isclaimed that he is still accompanied bythe most important section of the-army.

ABSURD PLEA.ETHIOPIA AGGRESSOR.

British Press Highly CriticalOf League Position,

GRAVITY OF SITUATION.

United Press Association.—Copyright.

(Received 2 p.m.)LONDON, April 20.

"The Times," in an editorial article,emphasises the vigour and lucidityof Mr. Eden's exposition of Britishforeign policy which deeply impressedthe Council after Baron Aloisi'sabsurd suggestion that Abyssinia wasthe aggressor and had thwarted peaccefforts.

Even M. Paul-lronc-our joined Mr.Eden's protest against violation of the1025 protocol, says "The Times." Nospeaker was prepared to return to inter-national anarchy by abandoning theprinciple of mutual help against lawlessaggression. This principle has the whole-hearted support not only of a majorityof Britons, but the British Dominionsof Canada, Australia, New Zealand andSouth Africa demonstrated this in con-nection with Sir Samuel Hoare's declara-tion of September.

"The Empire can always remainunited in upholding the rule of lawagainst force in international affairs.This, in the long run, is the wisest andmost courageous course," the paperstates.

Mr. Eden Criticised.The "News Chronicle" Geneva corres-

pondent says that Mr. Eden's speech,containing so little of promise of deeds,caused considerable disappointment.However, the reaffirmation that what-ever the military circumstances theLeague must maintain pressure on theaggressor is important, but not helpful.It would be as hopeless to expect Pranceto take the lead against Italy as toexpect Britain to lead against Ger-many's breach of Locarno.

Moreover, the Ministers of smallerEuropean countries have been summonedweekly to the Palazzo Chigi, Home,where they have been menaced by allsorts of punishments if they continueto enforce sanctions against Italy.Britain did not press at the meeting ofthe Committee of Eighteen to imposefurther sanctions, because it was ex-pected Prance would strikingly declarefor Franco-British solidarity, butBritain was "sold a pup," as M. Paul-Boncour, after a telephone call to M.Flandin (whose initiative towards con-ciliation led to tho present disastrousuncertainty), made no such declaration.

On the contrary, he indulged in abarely-veiled reproach of Britain's lackof drastic action against Germany.

M. Paul-Boncour's speech was chieflygeneralities, and ended abruptly whenhis hearers believed he was just begin-ning.

Oblique Reference to Sanctions.Though sanctions were not specifi-

cally mentioned in the resolution passed,they are obliquely referred to in thesection regretting that the war con-tinues under conditions involving theexecution of obligations under the Cove-nant.

The "Daily Herald's" Geneva repre-sentative regards the resolution asmeaningless, and says it does not con-tain new sanctions, or even an attemptat reconciliation. The writer adds: "Itis impossible to over-estimate thegravity of the situation from theLeague viewpoint, which Mr. Eden, al-though he spoke carefully and in diplo-matic terms, made clear in a speechregarded as a warning that Britain isonly prepared to participate in collec-tive security-if the other Powers areready to make the Covenant work inall circumstances against an aggressor.

The "Manchester Guardian" Genevacorrespondent, declaring "it has been asad day for the League," emphasises thesame point regarding Mr. Eden's re-marks as ominous following M. Sar-raut's recent similar hint. He adds:"Secession and disruption are in theair."

OVER CLIFF.. i

FOUR MOTORISTS.. ;

ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

DRIVER IN HOSPITALCAB, CAUGHT BY TREES.

I

(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.")

WANGANUI, this day.

What is undoubtedly the mostsensational motor accident that hasoccurred on the Partipara road happenedon Sunday afternoon. Mr. James Henry,a storekeeper, of Kakatalii, was drivingfrom Kakatalii to Kaetilii, accompaniedby Mrs. Henry and their 12-year-olddaughter ancl a friend. When about 11

miles from Kakatalii, and oil the peakof a very high liili, the car skidded on

a greasy surface, over which a graderhad operated the previous day, pilingup loose spoil 011 the road. The rain

011 Sunday had converted this into slushand this led to skidding, and the carwent over the edge of a cliff. It glidedslowly down the first portion, whichwas a gradual slope, then turned overand rolled down, gathering force as the

descent became steeper and steeper.Two Occupants Get Clear-

After the car had toppled over aboutfour times, damaging the hood m theprocess, Mrs. Henry clutched at sometoi toi growing on the sido of the face,

and, hanging on tightly, managed to getclear of the car. Her daughter was alsofortunate enough to get clear in a simi-lar maimer some 100ft lower down, butMr. Henry and the fourth occupant ofthe car were not so lucky. From whereMrs. Henry had freed herself the cliffbecame steeper and the momentum ofthe car's descent became greater as itrolled down, until finally it was caughtin the branches of some trees right onthe edge of a sheer drop of some 500 ftto the Mangawliero River.

Mr. Henry and his companions werethrown out, and were caught in thetrees, which prevented them fromcrashing into the river and thus to cer-tain death. Mr. Henry wa? very seri-ously injured, but his companion escapedwith a few bruises. The cliff in thevicinity was absolutely inaccessible, andit was impossible to climb back to secureassistance.

Climb to Safety.In the meantime Miss Henry had

reached the road and solicited theassistance of passing motorists whoassisted Mrs. Henry to safety. Shehad a precarious struggle, but by clutch-ing at toitoi clumps managed to pullherself most of the way to the top,though her hands were cut severely.She was very exhausted and badlybruised when help arrived.

The aid of workmen and others wasnecessary to rescue the two men, andthis difficult task took some hours, ropeshaving to be used. It was dark beforethe men were hauled up. Mr. Henrywas suffering from very severe headinjuries and bruises and' was taken tothe Baetihi Hospital. Yesterday arepresentative of a motor firm accom-panied an assessor to the scene, wherethey found that rain had obliterated themarks and it was difficult to locate theexact spot where the car had gone over.Later they saw pieces of glass somedistance down, but although peeringover they could not see the car. Whenthey had been .lowered down by ropesthey saw the car suspended in trees.The hood had not been broken and theironwork had been caught in thebranches.

SHOCKING INJURIES.MOTOR CYCLIST'S DEATH.

(By Telegraph,—Own Correspondent.)HAWERA, this day.

Shocking injuries resulting in deathearly this morning were suffered by Mr.Harold Saunders, aged 44, a widowerivith six children, of Denbigh Road,Hawera, in a collisionat the intersectionof Ohawe and South Roads, nearHawera, late yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Saunders, a carpenter, was ridinghis motor cycle from work at Ohaweand had completed the turn into SouthRoad when a collision occurred with acar travelling in the opposite direction.The impact crushed the cyclist's rightleg, causing a compound fracture, andsplintered the bones of the left leg.

"ALL UPLIFTED."

TRADING BANKS* POSITION.

SOME EVIDENCE OF FEAR.

The position revealed in the annualbalance of the savings banks is to a cer-tain extent reflected in the operationsof the large trading banks, accordingto a comment, made this morning by anAuckland manager. They were alluplifted, he said, though not quite somuch as the savings banks, whose posi-tion reflected that of the wage-earningportion of the community. The indica-tion was definite that more people wereback in work.

Some people were still a little fright-ened of the reflection of the new Govern-ment's policy on trading operations, andfor this reason he anticipated that thestatistics of the New Zealand tradingbanks would show a slight tendencytowards an increase in tiieir fixeddeposits. He pointed out that in Decem-ber, 1934, the amount held on fixed•deposit by the trading banks of Aus-tralia was £337,000,000. In December,1935, this had fallen to £332,000,000,indicating that more money was beinginvested outside the banks. The sameindication had been shown in a smallcle°ree in the New Zealand figures, butin the meantime this forward movementhad been retarded by the element offear.

Keferring to the fact that his ownbank had recently refused a sum runninginto many thousands of pounds for fixeddeposit, the manager explained thatthere was nothing particularly unusualin this. It often happened that largebusiness firms had big sums of moneylying idle for a period and wished themto bear interest. If it was for a periodI say, 24 months the bank might acceptit, because in that period it wouldbe able to absorb it. If it was, however,for only three or six months the bankmight as well hand the depositor acheque for the interest. The depositwas of no use to the bank because itcould not place it elsewhere equitably.

HIGHER RATES.

NEW RELIEF SCALE.

OPERATES ON JUNE 1.

INCREASE FOR FAMILIES.

GRADUATED BENEFITS.

I By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, this day.Immediate steps that will be taken

lo assist the unemployed were an-nounced in the House of Representativesthis afternoon by the Minister ofLabour, (Mr. Armstrong.) The newscale of payment takes effect on June 1.

For intermittent work for local bodiesthe rates provide 21/ a week for a singleman and 38/6 for a married man, thenincreasing in sums of 4/ a week foreach dependent child, with a maximumof .60/6 a week.

For men on sustenance the new ratesare: Single man, 17/ a week; marriedman, 29/ a week and rising by 4/ for

1ach dependent child to a maximum of">7/. . This represents a further increase,ranging from 3/ to a single man to 13/to a man supporting seven dependentrhildren.

Variation !s also made in the subsidypaid to gold prospectors, which fromiime 1 will be £2 a week for a marriedman and £1 for a single man.

"The payment of sustenance to able-bodied men on any scale whatever is;ot our objective," said the Minister.We shall not consider our work com-

pleted as long as necessity exists for.iny sustenance payments ' being madefrom this fund, nor until every able-bodied worker is rendering that serviceto the community to which lie is bestadapted. That, of course, means theexpansion of our productive industries,v.hich takes time. Whilst vre organisefor that objective we are taking advan-rage of more ready-to-hand steps, whichwill make the transitory period less diffi-cult for our displaced workers. Publicworks will almost immediately be takingup some of the slack, and- I am con-iidently anticipating helpful co-operationfi om local bodies." Directed on im-proved lines, employment, when offered,'oe it on a Public Works or intermittentlyorganised through local bodies will carrya reasonable wage and the Governmentwill expect to get a reasonable return)of work.

"Relief Style" Work To Go"Relief rates of pay and relief style

-work must simultaneously disappear.The scale of payment from the Employ-ment Promotion Fund, applicable tointermittent work for local bodies, will,as from the week commencing June 1next, be on the basis of the maximumrates that appeared in the Unemploy-ment Act, 1930. These rates provide21/ a week for a single man and 3S/6for a married man, and then increasingsums of 4/ a week for each dependentchild, with a maximum of 6G/6 a week.Tn the case of a married man support-ing his wife and seven or more children,work will be determined by the hourlyrate of pay applicable to public worksbinder the Public Works ."Department.That means that the new rates will bedivided by the Public Works standardrates in order to determine the actualnumber of hours to be worked in anyweek for the amount of weekly reliefallocated to the various classes."

"A new rate of pay covering publicworks," continued the Minister, "willie announced by the Minister of Public

Works within a few days. Whateverhourly rate ,of pay is determined upon,it is certain that the new scale'of pay-ment from the Employment PromotionFund will not fit into the complete daysof work."

"My Department will be inviting localbodies, who still carry out works underthis intermittent scheme, to providefrom their own resources the differencein wages cost to enable all men to beaiven employment to the nearest fullday above the time factor covered bythe new scale. As the local bodies arejust at the commencement of a newfinancial year, thus placing them in afavourable position to respond to thisrequest, I personally appeal for thisco-operation. My Department will fur-ther be seeking the co-operation of alllocal bodies with a view to replacingthese intermittent works with works tobe carried out under full-time standardconditions. The present number em-ployed under No. 5 scheme and thoseaffected by the new rates is 15,700. Theabove rates for relief work will • applyto Maori and European alike.

Help for Maoris."The circumstances and living con-

ditions of the Maoris in some parts ofthe Dominion have given the Govern-ment much concern, and. the decision topay equal rates is to enable the Maoristo build up housing and home conditionsequal to the European. Work will beprovided and the wages will enable theMaori to pay for an improvement inhis conditions.

"The present number in receipt ofsustenance, without performing anyservice, is 14,400. Included in this num-ber are a great many who could not beplaced in heavy manual employmentand who cannot justifiably be a per-manent charge on the unemploymentfund. Others within this ciacs areanxious for employment and' many ofthem should soon be absorbed in publicworks, or in other callings stimulatedby the improved economic situation. Inso far as sustenance is still a necessity,a further improvement in the rates willapply at the same time as the amendedrates for intermittent work. The newrates will be 17/ a week in the case ofa single man, and 29/ for a marriedman, then rising by 4/ a week in respectof each dependent child, to a maximumof 57/ per week. This represents afurther increase, ranging from 3/ a weekto a single man to 13/ per week to aman supporting seven dependent chil-dren.

"For the worker in the highest classand previously subject to the countryscale, the total increase since Novemberlast is 19/ a week. When countryrates for Europeans under scheme 5were adjusted to the city scale lastmonth, no adjustment was made in therates applicable to Maoris living underpa conditions. This is being rectifiedby a retrospective payment based on ascale of 6/ week in excess of the existingMaori rates for married men, and 4/6 aweek for single men, and, these pay-ments will apply from March.2 to June1.

"The above rates necessitate a varia-tion in the subsidy paid to prospectors,and from the same date the subsidy willbe £2 a week for married men a £1 perweek for single men. There'are severalworks throughout the Dominion wheremen are employed at special rates, andsteps will also be taken to adjust thesea£ from the week commencing. June 1next."

FISH AND GAME.

DOMINION CONTROL.

■NATIONAL POLICY NEEDED.-

CONFERENCE WITH MINISTER.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)WELLINGTON, this day.

The conference of New Zealandacclimatisation societies with the Minis-ter. of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W.E. Parry, was attended by representa-tives of 29 societies. Also present werethe chief inspector of fisheries, Mr. A.E. Hefford, and Mr. J. Bennett, of theInternal Affairs Department. Mr. L. 0.H. Tripp, president of the New ZealandAcclimatisation Societies' Association,presided.

Mr. Tripp said there had not beentime for remits or suggestions tosocieties, and he suggested that afterdiscussion a committee should be setup to formulate a policy for furtheraction to be submitted to all societies.There had been discussions 011 amal-gamation, and it was hoped that someof the smaller societies would agree toit. Ho hoped the Government wouldsee that fresh water research was car-ried on, and he asked for a fair shareof the revenue from opossums, whichonly the societies ranged and pro-tectee 1. Pie also asked for the removalof the protection of stoats and weasels,hut he did not think it wise to entirelykill out hawks. The possibility of•breeding ducks, he said, should beexplored.

He concluded with an appeal for theplanting of food trees for native birds.Pigs and goats, he declared, should beexterminated from island sanctuaries,and this course should also be followedwith red and fallow deer on StewartIsland.

A Precarious Position.Addressing the delegates, Mr. Parry

said he was satisfied that game shootingin the Dominion was in a precariousposition, but if all those interested puttheir shoulders to the wheel it shouldbe possible to evolve a good, sound,national policy. No one could questionthat the breeding of game birds had notkept pace with the shooting of them.

Game shooting was one of the healthi-est of sports, continued the Minister.It not only gave town dwellers ailopportunity to get into the country,but afforded farmers and their sons inisolated places a chance of enjoyingthemselves, thus compensating them forthe loss of other kinds of sport availablein the more densely populated locali-ties. He stressed that the Governmentwas anxious to encourage a contentedfarming community. It was useless tosuggest that shooters should go outafter game unless there was a reason-able supply available.

Mr. Parry outlined what, in hisopinion, were the broad lines in whichthe matter might be approached, andsaid that if it were possible, to get anational closing up of the ranks of thepresent societies with the object ofco-ordinating their policies, based onsuggestions, it would place game shoot-ing on an excellent basis.

In regard to breeding and liberationthe Minister emphasised that shootershad to rely largely on the good willof property holders, and rightly so. Hehad already had a discussion withof- his colleagues in regard to theremoval of the protection of stoats andweasels, and would continue to press fora favourable decision. All would agreethat it was useless setting up any com-prehensive national scheme for breeding,liberating and conserving game if therewas not an adequate system of ranging,and he admitted that the State had aresponsibility, at any rate from thepoint of view of keeping its own areasfree of pests, or as free as was humanlypossible.

Those Who BeneSt Should Pay.

Speaking of ways and means offinancing a national policy, Mr. Parrysaid that as far .as the shooting branchof the sport was concerned his view wasthat those who took part in it shouldpay for it.

Concluding, Mr. Parry said that if themain issues were faced and not toomany side ones were introduced he sawno reason why an agreement as to asound national policy for game shouldnot result. He desired to be able togo to the Government with a unitedpolicy. At present, the obstacle in theway of a national policy was the sports-man himself. He sincerely hoped thatas a result of the conference he wouldbe able to report to the Governmentthat the societies had ari;ived_at a com-mon understanding to sink minor issuesof divisional and sectional interests, andhad reached agreement on a nationalpolicy. The Minister suggested thatthere should be two national organisa-tions, one for the North Island and onefor the South Island, with councils,similar to those they already had, forthe purpose of co-ordinating nationalwork, and that there should be branchorganisations at suitable centres.^

The conference approved the Minister'ssuggestion of a central organisation ineach instance, the work to be co-ordinated by a central body inWellington.

Continued improvement in the finan-cial position of the Manukau CountyCouncil was reported at to-day's meet-ing by the county clerk and treasurer,Mr. E. Asheroft.

In several items increases in revenuewere revealed and despite the reductionof over £28,000 made .in its ratingcharges over a period of five years, thefinancial position of the county had beenconsolidated and placed on a soundbasis. Total receipts amounted to£97,436, and payments to £101,298.

Kates collection on current rates* hadshown the best result for several years,the collection percentage on currentrates being 90 per cent and on arrears36 per cent.

GIVING A LEAD.FORTY-HOUR WEEK.

ALL GOVERNMENT SERVICES.I

STATEMENT BY MR. SAVAGE.

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, this day.A definite assurance that the 40-lionr

week principle would apply in allGovernment services, and that it wouldbe put into operation at the earliestpossible moment was given by the PrimeMinister, the Hon. M. J. Savage, to-day.

"We can't expect private employers toswallow the Government's medicineunless the Government is prepared toswallow it as well," said Mr. Savage."Of course, the thing can't be done overa week-end, or in a week or two, butyou can take it from me that it will bedone as soon as it is humanly possible.I should say that 40 hours should bethe maximum that should be worked bythe Government service. Under theI.C. and A. Bill employers have the rightto state their case against the adoptionof the 40-hour week.

"The Government, as an employer, willnot state their case against it. It wouldbe extraordinary if it did so."

POWER CHANGE-OVER.

POLICY OF BOARD.

FAIR TREATMENT PROMISED.

"In the estimates which have beenprovided for the change-over from directto alternating current supply, there isnothing allowed for any compensationto any consumer. It can be taken aaa general policy, however, that wherethe board demands that the change-overshall be made replacement cf equipmenton a valuation basis will be the prin-ciple adopted," said Mr. R. IT. Bartley,general manager of the Auckland Elec-tric Power Board this morning, in dis-cussing various phases of the board'sscheme to effect a change-over from d.c.to a.c. supply as a gradual process overa long period of years.

"It is exceedingly difficult to say howany particular consumer would beaffected by the scheme, as it was notpossible to have a hard and fast rule tomeet every case," added Mr. Bartley."Each individual ease where the boarddesires that a consumer should changeover must be treated on its merits, andthe consumer can rely in every case ongetting perfectly fair and equitabletreatment from the board."

In discussing the procedure to beadopted in making the change-over, Mr.'Bartley said that regulations would bedrawn up prohibiting the extension orinstallation of added direct currentplant, unless specially agreed to by theboard in writing. In a ease where itwas necessary to include a definite area,

notice would be served on the consumerand the consumer would be interviewedconcerning any proposed change. As tothe matter of expense to the consumer,obviously this must be a fair, arrange-ment, but no definite scheme had ye:been laid down and could not be untilthe necessary regulations had beenframed and considered.

In the case of householders, Mr. Bart-ley further exlained, the principalappliances affected were wireless receiv-ing sets and any small motors whichwere not adaptable for either d.c. ora.c. supply. The same arrangementmust hold with the householder as withother classes of consumers.

FULL STATE CONTROL.

INSPECTION OF TRAFFIC.

GOVERNMENT'S INTENTIONS.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)HAMILTON, this day.

The early intention of the Governmenttb assume complete control of trafficinspection is indicated in a letter fromthe Minister in Charge of Transport, theHon. R. Semple, received in reply torepresentations by the Waikato CountyCouncil, to-day. The Minister said theappointment of traffic inspectors underthe immediate jurisdiction of the Statewould receive his attention at theearliest possible date. He added thatthe subsidy now being paid the Waikatotraffic control group would terminate atthe end of this month. The inspectorconcerned, however, would continue tosupervise traffic as a Departmentalofficer, and the expense would be borneby the State.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.EXCHANGE CHARGES.

OVERSEAS PURCHASES.GOVERNMENT'S POLICY.

Arising out of complaints by theAuditor-General as to the misleadingnature of the public accounts in certainparticulars, the Auckland Chamber ofCommerce some time ago passed a

resolution urging that tlic Governmentshould effect the proper charging ofexchange in the public accounts. TheAssociated Chambers of Commerce tookthe matter up with the Minister oxFinance, the Hon. Walter Nash, and thePrime Minister, the Hon. M. J. Savage,

and the latter has now advised thataction will be taken by the Governmentat the earliest possible opportunity tobring about the earlier publication ot

public accounts, and consequently theacceleration of the presentation of the

Budget. . , .The Minister of Finance in referring

to the subject stated that the Govern-ment's policy in regard to exchange

costs relating to overseas purchases ot

.stores and materials was definitely in

the direction of placing the chargetherefor 011 the particular undertakingfor which such costs had been incurred.From this it would be gathered that tlieexchange charges 011 such transactionsin respect of commercial or semi-com-mercial undertakings of the Governmentwould be correctly recorded in theaccounts relating thereto.

"We are aware, of course," added theMinister, "that the funds of the Gov-ernment, apart from the major com-,

mercial undertakings having separatebanking accounts, viz., Post Officcs,.-Public Trust, Government Life Insilirance, etc., are contained in the public-account from which all disbursements-are made, and into which all receiptsare paid in respect of the .severalaccounts within its fold. For conveni-ence in accounting for exchange costs,however, it is considered desirable tohave the charge borne, in the first place,by the main revenue account, i.e., theConsolidated Fund, with art appropriatecharge to the individual account orundertaking affected, from whichrecovery in cash will tal,ce place, or uponwhich a liability for the amountinvolved will be established. In regardto the matter of strengthening thepowers and widening the activities ofthe Public Accounts Committee, thiswill receive consideration in due course,as soon as the major and urgent policymatters have been disposed of."

AN "ALL-STAR" PROGRAMME.

ORAKEI AGAIN.CROWN INTERESTS.

definition sought.

land court adjournment.

An application made by the PrimeMinister, the Hon. M. J. Savage, in hiscapacity of Minister of Native Affairs,for a definition of Crown interests inthe elevated blocks of land at Orakei,known as 4A2 and 4A4, came before theNative Land Court this morning. TheChief Judge of the Native Land Court,Mr. K. N. Jones, presided. Mr. J. J.Sullivan watched proceedings on behalfof the Minister of Native Affairs, andrepresented the Maoris of Orakei w"hoare concerned, and Mr. O. A. Darby, ofthe Lands and Survey Department,represented the Crown.

Mr. Sullivan criticised the AucklandCity Council's report of September lastrespecting the Orakei native villagesettlement and also its recent proposalto convert the Fort Bastion site into apark. He also asked that the Courtrestrain "outsiders, busybodies andwell-meaning people" from interferingin matters that concerned only theOrakei Maoris and the Crown.

Prime Minister's Letter.Mr. Sullivan, in asking for an adjourn-

ment of the proceedings, said the mat-ter had been investigated in the sameCourt in IS>3O and a report forwarded toWellington. Mr. Savage, in a letterdated March 3, had stated that hethought the best course to be adopted inconnection with the Orakei blocks wasto call during the forthcoming session ofParliament a conference of representa-tive parties in order to discuss the posi-tion and to arrive at some solution. Ina telegram of April 7 Mr. Savage askedthat the Court should adjourn the hear-ing until a copy could be supplied. Hislast letter of April 16 advised thatthere was no authority for printing thepaper, but a typewritten copy would bemade and forwarded together with therecommendation of the Chief Judge.

Mr. Sullivan said other people shouldnot interfere between the Maoris andthe Court and the Native Department.The City Council had published a report,signed by the Mayor, respecting Orakei,and he asked the Court to stop suchinterference. He then quoted from thereport.

City Council Criticised."The report is distinctly against a

possibility of settlement of the matter,"Sir. Sullivan contended. "The matter isdeep-rooted and has a basis of justclaim." In 18S7 the Maoris had virtuallygiven the Government acres of landon tho Fort Bastion site. The CityCouncil was now suggesting that theland be used as a park, disregarding anypossibility that it could be used "fornatives who were in congested areas.Th© council's report was "really absurd."

It was unwise to say that the nativessilliply sold these blocks, got moneyand were well paid. When the reportwas published, as it would be in a fewweeks, the people of Auckland and ofNew Zealand would have something totalk about. Orakei was shrieking forjustice, and when the matter was inves-tigated by the Government, as promised,justice would be granted to the nativepeople. / , , , . ; ;

Mr. Darby said the Crown was notopposed to an adjournment. Mr. Sulli-van had been referring to the Parliamen-tary petition of 1928, in which theMaoris claimed that land had been heldin trust for others. The matter beforethe Court was one of partition of inter-ests, as between the Crown and thenatives. The Crown had purchased theFort Bastion land and had paid for it.Its subsequent destiny was a matter ofconjecture;

Mr. Sullivan, in reply, said that if theinterests of the natives were defined theywould be left with two acres and a half.

Mr. Darby: That is, unoccupied land.The Fort Bastion Site.

Continuing, Mr. Sullivan said theamount paid by the Crown for the FortBastion land 4!) years ago was negligible.The natives had been induced to°signtransfers of their top land in return forblocks of five and six acres in extenton the flat, but that land could not nowbe found. The City Council should takeinto account that the loss of the landwas no fault of the natives.

Mr. Darby: Those facts are madewithout any foundation.

,

His Honor, in granting the applica-tion and adjourning the hearing sine die,said the Court had nothing to do withoutside bodies or persons. Whateverthe City Council thought was a matterfor the council alone. The Court wouldnot permit private or other matters tob© brought in, the matter being onebetween the Crown and the natives.

MILITARY ARREST.MEN IN HANDCUFFS.i ■

LIQUOR SOLD TO TROOPS.UNUSUAL PROSECUTION.(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, this day.Arrested by the military authoritiesfor selling liquor to territorials attend-

ing the annual camp of the CanterburyYeomanry Cavalry at Cavendish, GordonBrazier, aged 26 years, and JosephCharles Marks, aged 32 years, pleadedguilty before Mr. E. C. Levvey in tlieMagistrate's Court this morning. Thevalso pleaded guilty to two breaches ofselling liquor without a license and notguilty to charges of using obscen° lan-guage.

Senior Sergeant Calwell said thatofficers found the men were being sin-plied with liquor. Accused were°foundoutside the camp in a motor van, andthey had been selling liquor. Theywere told to leave, but refused. Undo?the powers of the Defence Act they werearrested by military officers, and laterhanded over to the Ashburton police.In addition to the beer sold, IS bottlejof beer were round. Apparently themen had gone to the camp with thopurpose of selling liquor, and the excusegiven was that the territorials had su?-gested that it would be a good idea ifthey had some beer.

The obscene language was allced tohave been used during argument withthe officers. No members of the publicwere present, and the seniorasked leave to withdraw the obscenelanguage charges. The charge of sell-ing to territorials was an unusual one,and ho had never heard of a similar onebeing made.

Beer Carried 23 Miles.Mr. Young, for the accused, said the

men were on relief, and had gone to thecamp to buy bottles and fat, and hadfollowed up a suggestion that the terri-torials would like some beer. Theyvisited a hotel 23 miles away, andbought five dozen bottles of beer, whichthey were selling at 1/9 a bottle oniv.They had received 16/ when arrested.Brazier had borrowed from a money-lender to buy a van, and had given hisfurniture as security. Accused were onthe road and thought they were withintheir rights. They did liot know thatparticular section of the Defence Act,and counsel did not think many did.

After their arrest defendants wereplaced tinder a double guard, and laterhandcuffed together and taken to Ash-burton like a pair of desperate criminals.Mr. Young asked for leniency as accusedbad lost heavily through the transaction.Brazier had been kept in gaol for ]0days and could not pay the money-lender, and his furniture was to be so*Mto-morrow.

The magistrate said he would takeinto account the fact that the mensuffered personally and financially, anrlconvicted and discharged them forhovering about the camp for the pur-pose of selling. On two charges ofselling they were convicted and orderedto come up for sentence within sixmonths if called upon to do so. Theywere ordered to pay costs totalling £73/, and the beer was confiscated. .

WORK FOR SEAMEN.

"FLYING ANGEL" MISSION

REVIEW OF PAST YEAR.

The year 1935 was chiefly notable inthe history of the "Flying Angel" Mis-sion to Seamen in Auckland for theunflagging enthusiasm and; hard workperformed by the chaplain, the Rev. H.K. Vickerv, and his helpers, in par-ticular the Ladies' Harbour LightsGuild, stated the secretary, Mr. WilfridSkegg, in reporting for the committeeon the year. Mr. Skegg added that theMission to Seamen for tho Port ofAuckland had been raised by their workto the generally recognised position ofone of the leading organisations in thecity for social and welfare work.

Official appreciation had on manyoccasions been voiced by the Australianand foreign Governments of the atten-tion paid to visiting seamen, and Mr.Vickery and the Mission had been hon-oured by the conferment upon him ofthe Knighthood of the Legion of Hon-our by the French Government.

"Over 2000 more men and lads madeuse of the mission in 1935 than duringthe previous year," states Mr. Vickeryin his report. Ships had been wellvisited, and the arrival of a number, ofoverseas warships and tourist liners hadmade much work for the staff, "but itwas a joy to be called upon to arrangesports, entertainments and outings forthe crews." Mr. Vickery pays a tri-bute to tho hearty co-operation of themission's many friends.

During the year socials, etc., wereattended by 10,907 men, and churchservices by 2635. Visits to seamen inhospitals totalled 239, and in gaol 20,while 449 visits were paid to ships, and11 seamen's funerals were conducted.

Another major item on theexpenditure side is the payment ofinterest on loans, which amounts to£27,573.

I At the Otahuhu Police Court yester-day, before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., Ben-jamin Peter Martinson was charged withfailing to report an accident to thepolice. The evidence showed that onSeptember 20 last defendant was driv-ing a local council truck, and when turn-

into Albert Street from PrincesStreet, a passenger in the truck eitherfell out or was thrown out, and_ wasseriously injured. It was not until themiddle of March that the police heardof the accident, and the passenger was

STORM HITS CITY.

LIGHTNING DAMAGE. '

RESIDENCE AT EPSOM.

NEWMARKET POWER PLANT.

A violent electrical storm struck thearea between. Mount Eden and New-market yesterday afternoon, and light-ning, as reported in the late edition ofyesterday's "Star," caused damage to a

jhouse in Mountain Road, Epsom, andto the Newmarket transformer stationof the Auckland Electric Power Board.No one was injured at either of theplaces. All alternating current was cutoff from the Epsom, Mount Eden, EdenTerrace and Remuera districts for be-tween three and four hours, and tram-way services in various parts of thecity were disorganised until about 4.30p.m.

The lightning struck the two-storeyresidence of Mrs. A. Johnson, 52, Moun-tain Road, tore large holes in the tiledroof, and wrecked a chimney. Brokenbricks and tiles were hurled for about50 yards. There were three women,Mrs. Johnson, her daughter. Miss E.Johnson, and a friend, in the house.

"There was a sudden crash, and therooms in the house seemed full offlame," said Miss Johnson. "We imme-diately disconnected the wireless re-ceiver, which was in use." The ceilingwas not penetrated by any of the dis-lodged bricks and tiles, Miss Johnsonadded, but minor damage was causcdby the rain that poured through theholes in the roof. The telephone wiresto the house were severed, and many ofthe other telephones in houses alongMountain Road were out of service.) ■r-The occupant of a house oppositethe Mater Misericordiae Hospital said.blue ilames shot through a room inwhich an electric iron was being used,and there was an acrid smell of burning.

Crash and Vivid Flash.Mr. G. F. Joseph, of Heme Bay, who

was driving in Mountain Road whenMrs. Johnson's house was struck, saidthere was an ear-splitting crash andsimultaneously a vivid flash of lightning.Looking up, he saw bricks falling fromthfe chimney. The bricks went withsuch velocity that had anybody beenstruck they probably would have beenkilled.

The discharge that struck the cabletower of the transformer station inCrowhurst Street, Newmarket, shat-tered all the insulators and wrecked awhole battery of switches and switch-gear. When the lightning struck thesub-station it was attracted away fromthe building by tho earthed ironwork of:lie tower, which extends over the footpath in front and carries a number of0000-volt cables. All the insulatorswere smashed, and one cable fell to theground, writhing like a snake andemitting flashes of vivid light andsparks. There was a briet but bril-liant electrical display around the areauntil the power was suspended.

Fire broke out in the building wherea battery of switches "flashed over."Xo members of tho staff were in thegallery at the time. The current waspromptly cut off and the fire brigadewhich answered the call, had little todo. The gear was so extensivelydamaged, it was stated, that repairswould be impossible.

The discharge also travelled along thelines for about half a mile north andsouth of the sub-station. A cable wassevered in two places in Gillies Avenue,and a number of transformer fuses wereblown out. A transformer at the cornerof Maungawhau and Seccombe's Roadswas also burned.

City Supply Affected.The sudden extra load imposed by the

mishap affected the board's 22,000-voltfeeder from Penrose to King's wharf,and as a result the electric supply invarious parts of the city was suspendedfor a short time. The direct currentsupply from the Newmarket, Kingsland,and Point Chevalier stations was alsointerrupted temporarily.

Mr. P. H. Bartley, general managerof the Power Board, said the switch-gearat Newmarket had been regarded forsome time as inadequate owing to theincreasing load, and an entirely new setwith a higher "rupturing capacity" wason order. When it was installed thewhole station would be redesigned. Therepairs had consisted of renewing allthe insulators outside the Newmarketstation and connecting up the lines sothat all switching could be carried outat King's wharf and at the boardsstation in The Drive, Epsom. Thisarrangement would be maintained until

i the new switch-gear was installed.The breweries, timber miils and fac-

tories in and around Newmarket werelittle affected, as most are on the directcurrent supply.

UNUSUAL CATCH.

TUNA LANDED WITH A JAG.

RARE NEW PLYMOUTH VISITOR.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.Rivalling in size the great fighting

tunny that provides exhilarating sportfor American deep sea anglers, a tunawas caught at New Plymouth yester-day. The fish was more than six feetfrom nose to tail and was heavily andsolidly built. Even when dressed itturned the scale at more than 1601b.

The tuna is found abundantly intropical and warm temperate seas, butis a complete stranger to New Ply-mouth. Fishermen with years of experi-ence on this coast cannot recall havingseen a similar fish, though they statethat in the summer months a smallmonito, a fish of the same species witha maximum weight of .about ninepounds, was taken on a spinner off

[about between the Newton King andMoturoa wharves and its immense sizeand strange appearance created greatinterest. As it swam in towards shallowwater a fisherman had a snap shot atit with a jag attached to a line. Thebarb held, and the tuna was quicklydragged into the breakers, where it washelpless. It was not without difficulty,however, that the huge fish was dragged,clear of the water. Mr. H. J. McCain,a well-known New Plymouth fisherman,took charge of the catch, and identifiedit as a tuna. He expressed surprise atthe mammoth fish being found in suchcold waters and stated that in his longexperience as a fisherman at New Ply-mouth he had not seen a similar speci-men.

'RAISING THE WIND'FRAUD ALLEGATION.

YOUNG MAN AND A CHEQUE.

"PURCHASED" A MOTOR CAR,

A young man's perverted way of"raising the wind," as Mr. WyvernWilson, S.M., put it, was disclosed inthe Police Court yesterday afternoon,when Percival Richard Parker, aged 23,appeared on two charges.

Parker was charged, on April 15, withintent to defraud, he did. obtain a motorcar valued at £540 from William StanleyMiller, by falsely representing that hehad won £3000 in Tattersall's, and thatthe money was in the Union Bank ofAustralia to Te Aroha, and, further, onthe same date, with obtaining, withintent to defraud, £5 from Annie MayMcPherson, by falsely representing thathe had arranged with Mr. Miller to bepaid the money.

Senior Detective Hall prosecuted andaccused was represented by Mr. K. C.Aekins.

Returned For Adjustments.A motor dealer, W. S. Miller, sail

accused was introduced to him by aman whom he knew. Parker was given <demonstrations of a» motor car. iiosaid, ho was an electrician employed bytho Thames Valley Power Board, andthat ho was going to Arapum to workParker said ho would not be buying the

car out of his salary or wages, addingthat ho had won £3000 in a rattersall =

consultation sweepstake, and that fie .had the money in tho Union Bank at .To Arolia. Parker agreed to buy til-

eal" and drove it away, but returned itthe following day for minor adjust- ,ments. Witness then became su;.- ,picious and gave instructions to his

foreman not to deliver the car. ,Evidence was given by the aceounta >

at the Union Bank of Australia at ,Auckland that Parker had no account .with his bank. There was no braneaor agency of the Union Bank at leA made by accused toDetective Coddington was read by

Senior Detective Hall. In this Parkersaid he was an electrician employed bythe Thames Valley Power Board, andcame to Auckland for a holiday with£23. At Auckland lie met a man whointroduced him to Mr. Miller. cl

,

had spent all his money lie ailandedto buv the car. "I knew I was doine

wrong", but I didn't realise how seriousit was until after I did it," said accusein his statement. Parker offered to ie-

pay the £5 and any damage done tothe car by weekly instalments.

Miss McPherson, accountant tor Mr.Miller, said she filled in a cheque formfor Parker, who handed it to her. Ihecost of the car and insurance was £041.Parker asked her to make the chequeout for £552 and said that he hadarranged with Mr. Miller for some cash.

The Old Tale.Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., said that

the major charge in respect to the carmust fail. "Any intentions of fraudwere contradicted when he returned the

motor car the next day," he said. 1don't think this young man had anyintention to defraud Mr. Miller of thecar. I'm satisfied he was after nothingmore than the £5. It is the old taleof passing a cheque for a bit more thanthe cost of the goods. Instead of get-tinor a hat or coat for £1 15/ he madeit a car worth £540. He simply wasraising the wind. The first charge willbe dismissed."

Parker then pleaded guilty to_ theother charge in respcct to the £5 ob-tained.

Senior Detective Hall said that as far

as the police inquiries about Parker hadgone, he did not think Parker was em-ployed by the Thames Valley Power

! Board. "We don't know much about' his previous history, and as far as we

» can gather, he lias been in Auckland all1 the time," added Mr. Hall. "In 1932

Parker was convicted and ordered to' come up for sentence if called upon on> a vagrancy charge."

1 Counsel asked that Parker might beleniently dealt with. He was one of a

' family of nine, and his father had been' dead some years.r Parker was remanded until Friday5 for a report from the probation officer.

NO JURISDICTION.

FIRE BOARD PRECAUTIONS.

PUKEKOHE DILEMMA.

The Pukekolie Fire Board has decidedto write to the Minister of InternalAffairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, on thequestion of the jurisdiction of localbodies in the matter of fire precautions.

At yesterday's meeting of the board,the chairman, Mr. John Koutly, saidthat the general feeling at the lastmeeting was that something should bedone through the Pukekolie BoroughCouncil. However, in a recent prosecu-tion brought by the board in the Puke-kohe Court the magistrate's ruling hadrevealed that the board had no jurisdic-tion. From this it appeared that therewas no proper connecting link betweenthe board and the borough council.There was something lacking in thestatutes which should give the boardthe necessary connection with thecouncil to enforce the by-laws.

The secretary, Mr. S. Bisli, said thatthe ruling of the Court was that theborough council had no power to makeby-laws in connection with public build-ings, and as a result the ruling hadmade the borough by-laws void in thatdirection. Since that date action hadbeen taken to have the position rectified,but as yet nothing definite had resulted.

Mr. A. E. Moore, one of the insurancecompanies' representatives on the board,expressed the opinion that the wholequestion was of a serious nature, for theCourt's ruling had revealed that neitheithe board nor the council had any juris-diction in regard to building. If, forinstance, a two-storeyed structure wasburnt to the ground with resultant lossof life, perhaps owing to the lack offire escapes, there would immediately bean outcry and the board would beblamed for not taking action, whereasas the position stood they had noauthority. .

The board decided to communicatewith the inspector of fire brigades andinform him that the board was going

to write direct to the Minister of Inter-nal Affairs with a view to obtaining adefinite ruling.

DIVORCE GRANTED.

CITY VALUES." INCREASE UNFAIR."

ASSESSMENT REDUCED,

COMMENT BY MAGISTRATE.

In support of objections to the cityvaluer's assessment for portion ofMessrs. Phillipps and Impey's premisesin Queen Street comparisons with theassessments made in respect to otherQueen Street buildings were made atthe sitting of the Assessment Court thismorning. Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M., satas president of the City AssessmentCourt, and Mr. Terry appeared for theobjectors.

Mr. Terry said Messrs. Phillipps andImpey made no objections to the assess-ments covering the first, second andthird floors, but it was contended thatthe increase in the assessment of theshop, basement and back portion usedas a bulk store was not justified.Actually Philiipps and Impey had only25ft frontage, because a 7ft doorwayhad to be provided. The objectors con-tended that the shop assessment shouldbe based upon a 25ft frontage to QueenStreet and separate assessments for thebasement and store at the back.

Justifying his own assessment, Mr.P. F. Notley, city valuer, quoted assess-ments of various buildings in thevicinity.

In answer to Mr. Terry, Mr. Notleysaid ho considered that if Phillipps andImpey let their shop they would get£30 a week, plus rates.

Mr. Terry then quoted the assessmenton a certain portion of Victoria Arcade,a building owned by the City Council.

Mr. MeKean: What I am unable tounderstand is why there should be sucha difference in the assessment ofpremises owned by the City Council andthe premises of others.

"It is Touchy Ground."Mr. Notley: It is touchy ground; I

hardly like to give an explanation. Iignore what the council does.

Mr. McKean: The figure paid by aperson who wants a property for aspecific purpose Is not to be taken asa guide to the value of an adjoiningproperty.

Mr. Notley quoted other premises inthe vicinity where rentals were £1, £13/ or £15/ per foot frontage perweek.

Mr. McKean said that the comparisonof assessments for other buildings inthe vicinity made him think that thepresent assessment of Phillipps andImpey's premises was unfair. Theassessment last year was £1037, and hecould not see any reason for the increasemade this year. The assessment wouldbe reduced from £2324 to £2000.

The valuation, of £676 on a store InGore Street, owned by the same firm,was sustained.

CUSTOMS STREET AREA

SOME REDUCTIONS MADE.

Objections to the valuations of pro-perties owned by John Burns and Com-pany, in Stanley Street and CustomsStreet, occupied the attendion of Mr.W. R. McKean, S.M., in the City Assess-ment Court yesterday afternoon. Mr.J. Terry appeared for the objectors, andthe city solicitor, Mr. J. Stanton, forthe city valuer, Mr. P. F. Notley.

The first case concerned a section witha frontage of 122ft in Stanley Street.The assessment had been reduced bythe Court, but restored by the cityvaluer to £213. The Court reduced itto £192. The assessment of £172 onanother Stanley Street section, 66ft by110ft, which Mr. Notley valued at £40a foot, with buildings valued at £900,was sustained. The assessments onthree other Stanley Street properties

[ were reduced. One, 66ft by 110ft, wasreduced from £216 to £195; another, atthe corner of Stanley Street and AltenRoad, from £403 to £390, and a thirdfrom £306 to £295.

Premises on the corner of CustomsStreet East and Fort Street Lane hadbeen valued at £350 a foot for the land,a total of £12,775, and £2400 for thebuilding. Mr. G. B. Osmond valued theland at £300 a foot and the building at£2040, Mr. T. Maclndoe at £325 and£3800, and Mr. C. F. Bennett, who was

| called for the city valuer, at £350 and£4380.

Mr. McKean said he was of the opinionthat land at this point was worth morethan the land on the other side of Cus-toms Street, where £325 a foot had beenpaid. He would fix the value of theland at £12,775, ajid the buildinng at£3800. He thought that 5 per cent »nthe capital value was as much as atenant could pay to-day, and he wouldreduce the assessment from £840 to£828.

Warehouse Valuations,Various valuations were given for the

main warehouse of the objectors, witha frontage of 72ft to Customs Streetand 80ft to Commerce Street. Mr.Osmond valued the land at £300 a footand the building at £8600; Mr. Macln-doe's figures were £325 and £7200, andMr. Bennett's £400 and £11,520. TheCourt sustained Mr. Notley's valuationof £360 and £9216, the rental valuebeing £1812.

On the question of the value of afour-storey buildings at the rear of thewarehouse, Mr. Bennett expressed theopinion that this area would graduallydevelop into a shopping district. Hevalued the land at £150 a foot and thebuilding at £12,616. The Court upheldthis view and sustained the rental valueof £1050 fixed by the city valuer.

The valuation of £49,650 fixed as thecapital value of land and buildings inCustoms Street owned by the Farmers'Co-operative Auctioneering Companyand formerlv owned by Messrs. P. Hay-man, was objected to by Mr. Terry.The rental value was assessed at£2660.

Mr. Terry said that the building wasbought at auction by the present ownerslast year for £8050. It stood on aHarbour Board lease which had 12 yearsto run, the ground rent being £330 ayear. The four-storey building had a"frontage of 99 feet to Customs Streetand a depth of 90 feet, the land havinga further depth of 10 feet.

Mr. Notley had valued the land at£350 a foot and the building at£15,000, but Mr. Osmond placed thevalue at £300 a foot and consideredthat the building was worth what waspaid for it at auction plus £6000whiih restoration would cost.

The city valuer's assessment was sustained.

After hearing evidence on behalf ofthe South British Insurance Company,for whom Mr. H. G.. Rose appeared, theCourt reduced the assessment on thefirst floor of the company's buildingfrom £1250 to £1196 and that on theseventh floor from £900 to £832.

POWER SUPPLY.

CHANGE-OVER PLAN.

IN AUCKLAND AREA.

TEXT OF THE REPORT.

MB. HARTLEY'S EXPLANATION.

Factors which dictate the need for thechange-over from direct current to alter-nating current supply in the remainderof the area not already dealt with were

emphasised in the report presented to

tho Auckland Electric Power Board yes-terday afternoon by the general mana-ger, Mr. R. H. Bartley. The work,which is to involve an expenditure of£306,920, is to lie spread over a periodof 21 years. The report was adopted,and is subject to confirmation .at aspecial meeting of the board.

"The subjcct of the change-over fromdirect to alternating current has beenso much discussed by the boardduring recent years that anythingin the nature of an introduc-tory section to this report would seemhardly necessary," said Mr. Bartley."With a view, however, to reviving theprinciples involved in the minds of, themembers, I will deal briefly only in thisconnection.

"The Auckland direct current plantand system, it will bo admitted, is avery good one, and speaking generallyit has given very little trouble. It istrue that it has been improved fromtime to time, and the weaknesses whichhave shown up as a result of age andobsolescence have been attended to andmodernised, with the result that thesystem to-day is in a condition capableof giving a thoroughly satisfactory ser-vice, and it will continue to do so formany years to come. -.1 .mention thesefacts merely to emphasise the greatamount of. care, thoughtfulness andcaution that is. demanded in the con4sideration of this very important mat-ter.

"The recommendations contained inMr. Butters' report were adopted bythe board, and I have no hesitation instating that they have been strictlyadhered to. As a matter of fact, therehas been very much more progress madein the curtailment of the direct currentsupply area than I gather was intendedin Mr. Butters' report. It must beremembered that this report was madein August, 1922, and matters relatingto direct current and alternating cur-rent systems have changed very mate-rially since that date.

Change Must Be Made."I have already taken the oppor-

tunity of outlining- to the board theresults of my observations in connectionwith the change-over from direct currentsystems when overseas - last year, andI fee] sure that the board's conclusionswill follow those of the other authori-ties as outlined by me, viz., that thechange to alternating current must bomade. When and how are matterswhich can only be determined by thespecial conditions existing and in accord-ance with the multitude of ; other cir-cumstances affecting , this position.Broadly speaking, this is the policy ofthe board at the present time, and aninspection of the reticulation plans to-day-compared. with those of 1922 willshow the tremendous - amount 'of workthat has been undertaken by this boardin jiarrowiijg down the direct currentsupply area. lam sure that the boardin its conclusions will be unanimousthat there shall be no wholesale scrap-ping of the system and plant, which idin a thoroughly good state of repair andwhich still has many years of usefuland economical life, and that the pro-gramme of change-over must be agradual and progressive one. This isviewing the matter from the board'sstandpoint only. There is still another,that of the consumer, many of whomhave large capital sums "invested indirect current plant and equipment, alsowith many years of useful life ahead ofit.

"All these matters have been verycarefully considered and, we can arriveat only one conclusion, which is that thedirect current supply must- remain atleast for some years to. come, and thatwherever it is economically, .possible tho.alternating current 'supply should bemade available. This will mean a dualsupply of A.C. and D.C. power in someareas, counting on time coupled withregulations and conditions which theboard will make,and impose. to>graduallyenable the former to supplant thelatter," said ' Mr. Bartley 1."The present policy of dealing withadded direct current loading will requireto be "extended with"'the ultimate aiiiialways in view to make the whole sup-ply eventually.'alternating current. Tocarry this policy into effect, the firstessential, is "a'properly, designed feederand distribution system, (to take carenot only of the conditions as they 1 nowexist but also those well into the future,rhe feejlex and distribution systems, forthe greater part must be underground.This is very costly work and calls forthe utmost care , iri design 1 and esti-mating, not only to provide for thegrowth of loadingin any'given numberof years, but also to provide for tfliepossible location,of this loading. With-out this information a properly pro-portioned network and feeder systemcannot be laid down.

"Once the scheme is approved andadopted we will have a set plan to workto, and all extensions and change-oversmust be handled so as to conform Withthis accepted scheme. If this i 3 notdone, we will soon find ourselves introuble, resulting in wastage, duplica-tion and possibly the scrapping of com-paratively new work.

"In dealing with a matter of thissort I fully appreciate that the boardin drawing it? conclusions will be moreconcerned with the matter of policy thanthe technicalities involved. I willendeavour, however, to set these out andto explain them as fully as possible. Inthis connection I feel that it may bepermissible for me to anticipate theboard's consideration of this matter byasking and answering a number of lead-ing questions.

Need for the Work. ."Question!: Why is it necessary ■■ to

consider changing over' the remainingsection of direct current area to alter'nating current supply?

"Answer: The answers to this ques-tion are many, the principal ones, how-ever, are:—

"(a) The means adopted in generatingelectricity have changed during thecourse of years and in steam'plants thehigh speed of the steam turbine is muchmore readily adaptable to the generatingof alternating current than it would bewith direct current plant.

"(b) In' hydro-electric generation notwily is the alternating current plantbetter suited in these stations for thegeneration of ' electric power, but thepower generated in most cases has tobe transmitted over long distances, em-ploying high -voltages, which aXa much

more readily obtained with the alterna-ting current system than with the directcurrent and do not necessitate revolvingmachinery.

"(c) In the ease of Auckland we pur-chase and when necessary generate thebulk of our power requirements withalternating current, and in order to givea direct current supply this power mustbe converted using rotary machinery,with the consequent losses in themachines arid in the feeder systemgenerally which would not exist to any-thing like the extent if this conversionwere not necessary. Also with the directcurrent system we find the compara-tively low voltages require much morecopper for a given load, and, in conse-quence, mean more losses than wouldbe the case using high voltage alterna-ting current.

"(d) Alternating current plant is nowso general throughout the world that itcosts much less to purchase motors andgeneral equipment than would be theease with direct current plant and equip-ment. In other words, alternating cur-rent plant and equipment is much morestandardised.

"(e) The loading in the direct currentarea is increasing steadily and expendi-ture on the direct current system willbe demanded in parts of the area beforevery long; therefore, in face of present-day knowledge the board should notextend or add to its direct currentsystem.

Reliability of Supply."Question 2: Will the_alternating cur-

rent network for the city of Aucklandbe any more reliable or free from troublethan the present direct current system?

fAnswer: No. It is the aim of mostengineers to-day in designing alternatingcurrent networks to make them as re-liable as a good and well-designed directcurrent network.

"Question 3: Will the efficiency of thealternating current system be higherthan the present system and is this areally material item ?

"Answer: The efficiency will be verymuch better when the change-over is com-pleted. The saving will be a verymaterial item; expressed in £ s. d. itwould approximate £6000 per year'based on our present figure for the pay-ment of power. For many years, how-ever, owing to the necessity of operatingboth systems, the saving would not benearly so great. The saving above-mentioned refers only to the electricaloperation of the system.

"Question 4: Assuming that alternat-ing current was made availableimmediately in the principal areasof the city and the change-over to alternating current wasmade optional to the consumer, wouldthe majority of consumers make thechange-over without delay?' "Answer: In my opinion, whichis - , based on information whichis gathered from time to timefrom city consumers, I have nohesitation in ftating the answerwould be 'No.' The consumer withthe electric sign, dental and medicalequipment, radio and refrigerator plantwould change-over quickly, as this typeof plant is mainly more general foralternating current operation than fordirect current. Fom the board's pointof view, however, this would not countfor much as the total revenue from thissource must be regarded as almostnegligible by comparison, and could notbe°considered seriously as an economicalIfactor governing tlie D.C./A.C. change-over or the provision of a dual supply.

-A Gradual Process. •

"Question 5;. In view of the answerto question 4, how is it suggested thatthe change-over could be brought about?

"Answer: Owing to the (magni-tude of the work and theexpenditure affecting the board andthe consumer, it must be by neces-sity a gradual process. A definiteamount should be allocated and beundertaken each year according tocircumstances. It may be possible t<i>persuade consumers to change-over bymaking some adjustment, but on thispoint the board would have to be veryguarded, as it could very soon placeitself in a very difficult position. Regu-lations should be made demanding allextensions and replacement to healternating current, unless speciallyagreed to by tlie board in writing. Thiswould apply to apparatus and plantonly which was not suitable for alter-nating current operation. Many of theplants and equipment to be dealt withare suitable for either. The main diffi-culties will exist in the city properdinclosely settled shopping areas, and withindustrial plants. Much, however, canbe done as already illustrated in thepresent policy on the outer sections ofthe existing direct current area, and inmy opinion, this should be dealt withfirst, always keeping in mind that noopportunities must be lost for theeconomical change-over in any part ofthe direct current area.

Period For Change-over."Question 6: What should be con-

sidered reasonable time for the bulk ofthe change-over to be compleited?

"Answer: This .is a reasonablequestion to ask, but a verydifficult one to answer. In myopinion, the time for the com-pleted change-over, or approximately so,

I should not on any account be less thanthat in which the work can be financedwithout adversely affecting the under-taking, always bearing in mind that thecapital spent in change-over is notcapital spent to produce added revenue.Also that it will entail the waiting offof capital representing the direct cur-rent distribution network feeders andplant. May be the time set should be

| one to coincide with the period at whichthe. distribution system feeders andplant are completely depreciated. Unlesssome very material change takes place,this I feel should be the policy adoptedby the board. For instance, to give aperiod not less than, say, years,subject of course to alteration in

accordance with the development of theloading.

, .

"Question 7: Can any of trie existingdirect current cables and plant, etc., beused to advantage in the alternatingcurrent change-over?

"Answer: At the commencement, 'No.'It will be necessary to keep the directcurrent system in operation practicallyspeaking throughout the whole time thatthe change-over work is in progress inorder to maintain continuity of supply.In other words, it will be necessary tohave a dual supply alternating currentand direct current for many years tocome, so as to enable the change-over tobe made gradually. Eventually it maybe possible to use link and feeder pillarsand certain of the feeder cables, but itwould be safer to conclude that allalternating current equipment and cableswill require to be new. In making theestimate this position has been treatedaccordingly.

"Question 8: Is the board likely to befaced with expenditure to reinforce orextend the direct current network in thenear future,, to cope with increasedloadingi

"Answer: Yes. Particularly in New-market area, Parnell area, and certainareas at" present fed from the BeresfordStreet sub-station. These are the areasthat I refer to when I mention the'outer- sections,' and they should be deaitwith first, in all probability before thewinter of 1937, and changed over toalternating current, or in some places adual supply made available along thelines already adopted by the board.

The Tramway Supply."Question 9: Does the suggested

change-over to alternating current inany way affect the tramways tractionsupply ?

"Answer: From the point of view ofthe electric power supplied only to thetramways, 'No.' The tramways of neces-sity require direct current power for theoperation of their system, but theexpenditure necessary, to bring aboutthis change-over must be reflected in thecost of producing power generally, and,therefore, must be a factor affecting thecost of producing power for tramwaypurposes.

"Question 10: Will tlio effect of thechange-over impair in any way theefficiency of King's wharf steam stationas a standby plant?

"Answer: No. The effect would be toincrease the efficiency.

"I mentioned as a first essential aproperly designed alternating currentnetwork," added Mr. Bartley. 'It maynot be fully appreciated by many thata 400-volt three phase alternating cur-rent underground network is quite amodern work. I doubt if any of thesenetworks in any part of the world havehad a longer life than ten years, and byfar the greater number will only behalf this period. It will be readilyunderstood then that there is no greatsource of information to draw on, set-ting out prominence in any specialiseddesign or methods which have proved tobe outstanding. The factors to aim forare, however, clear, and I would sum-marise them briefly as follows:—

"(1) An alternating current networkoffers high efficiences, and these canonly be obtained by making a liberaluse of high-tension feeders.

"(2) Ail feeders must be efficientlyprotected electrically so as to limitfaults to the smallest possible sections.

"(3) There mu|t be a liberal provisionof switching arrangements and means ofdiverting loading to other feeders in theevent of trouble.

"(4) Ample means for sectionisingthe low-tension distributors are neces-sary to confine faults to the smallestpossible areas.

"(0) The system must be laid out totake the demand for many years ahead,as being underground the cost of doingthis at a later date would be prohibitive,and, in addition, it must be capable ofextension and improvement.

"I should point out in connection withthe estimates that it is hardly fair tocall this the total cost of changing over;it really includes much more. Approxi-mately one-third and possibly a littlemore, represents provision for meetingadded loading in the areas which wouldhave to be provided for quite indepen-dently during the period.

Provision for Sub-Stations."As far as the city is concerned, the

scheme provides for 13 high-tensionfeeders, with a complete utilisation ofall existing <, high-tension feeders. Thearea is extensively divided up and thesefeeders supply no less than 57' sub-stations in the complete arrangements.The remainder of the area has beensimilarly treated and the total providesfor 94 sub-stations and 31 high-tensionfeeders. The 6ub-stations will be situ-ated in basements, kiosks or vaults, and,in some cases they will be pole subs.The positions shown on the plans maynot be the permanent ones; they are,however, near enough for all practicalpurposes at this period of consideration.The estimated total cost of the change-over is £306,920. Should there be avariation in the (hours of work or ratesof pay, also variation in exchange ratesand landing costs, etc., this estimatewill require to be varied accordingly.A fair proportion of the work willrequire to be done at night time, involv-ing higher rates, and this has beenallowed for.",

STREET LIGHTING.

IMPROVEMENT POSSIBLE.

WAITEMATA BOARD'S VIEWS.

The opinion that the board mightcollaborate, with local bodies as to thebest means of street lighting, wasexpressed at a meeting yesterday after-noon of the Waitemata Electric PowerBoard by Mr. S. E. Kennings. On themotion of the chairman, Mr. W. R. T.Leighton, a report on street lighting isto be brought down by the engineer.

The matter was raised when Mr. E.Aldridge asked what the plans of theboard were in regard to some new-typelamps for Devonport. Mr. Kennings saidthat the time had come when the boardshould consider better lighting forstreets. The board was a purveyor ofpower for street lighting, and the localbodies had no control in the sale. Theywere, the buyers. As r, result, it was hisopinion that lighting suffered. The boardhad a flat rate for the illumination ofstreets whether it was good, bad, orindifferent. He wondered if there mightbe different rates, as there were forother kinds of power supplied.

Speaking specifically of Devonportand Takapuna, he pointed out thatmain highways ran through them. Hesaid that main highways were badly lit.As a matter of fact, Auckland wasbadly lit. He thought that the boardshould collaborate with local bodies tosecure better lighting on the NorthShore and elsewhere.

IN THREE YEARS.

COMPLETION OF WORK.

MR. POTTER'S SUGGESTION.

A suggestion that the change-overfioin direct current to alternatingcurrent supply should be completedwithin three "years instead of the 21years provided for was advanced by Mr.E. 11. Potter, when the report on thesubject was under discussion at a meet-ing of the Auckland Electric PowerBoard yesterday afternoon.

In asking that the general manager,Mr. R. H. Bartley, should furnish afurther report, Mr. Potter thought thescheme should be completed in threeyears. The board was in a strongfinancial position, and there was nothingto prevent it from completing the schemein three years 011 the figures presentedby Mr. Bartley. The general managerstated that he had over £30,000 to pro-ceed with the work at oncc, and £20,000a year for future years. That £20,000a year, considered Mr. Potter, wouldprovide a sinking fund to cover a periodof ten years. The work would prac-tically be paid for annually by themoney available, with a little assistancefrom tho bank.

The chairman, Mr. W. J. Holdswortfi,said it would be a waste of time askingtho manager to report until such time astho board rescinded one of tho items ofthe report which stated that it wouldtake from 20 to 21 years to completetho change-over.

Mr. Potter: The report also statesthat tho work could be completed in 14years, and I say that it can be .lonein tlireo years.

Mr. S. I. Crookes said that if thescheme were carried through in a muchshorter time than recommended by thegeneral manager, the probable, andalmost certain result would be that fora great many years to come there couldbe no possible concessions for the con-sumers. He thought it was only rightand proper that the present day con-sumers should benefit while steady pro-gress was being made at the same timein other directions.

Mr. Holdfsworth said that that waswhy the board decided on a reasonableterm. The board must not overlookthe fact that while it was called on tospend over £300,000 011 the change-over,tho work would not bring in one extrapenny additional in revenue. That wassomething that could not be lightly putaside.

Maintaining that the work was essen-tial and it was essential that it shouldbe carried out "in three years, Mr.Potter gave notice of his intention tomove that tho term of 21 years men-tioned in tho report be altered to threeyears.

"MUCH MALIGNED."

ALSATIANS IN DOMINION.

DEPUTATION TO MINISTER.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, Monday.To protest against legislation restrict-

ing rights of ownership of Alsatian dogs,a deputation from the National AlsatianDefence League to-day waited on theMinister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W.E. Parry.

Members of the deputation said thatAlsatians had been much maligned inNew Zealand and to pass legislationaiming at the extermination of thebreed was considered an unwarrantedinterference with the liberty of thesubject.

The Minister said his present feelingwas that there were enough Alsatiansin New Zealand for tlie time being. Hebelieved there was no consistency oftemperament in the Alsatian. As far asthe Government was concerned, nothingrash would be done, and anything con-templated would be viewed from acommon-sense point of view.

RACING IN RAIN.

AVONDALE DOWNPOUR

MIST OBSCURES VISION.IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE START.

The Avondale Jockey Club have formany years past been very unlucky inthe matter of weather, but it is doubt-ful if they ever experienced such a soliddownpour of rain as that which set in

| before the Mount Eden Handicap, thesixth race on the programme yesterday,and continued for about a quarter of anhour. It was quite impossible to seathe start at the six furlong post or anypart of the race till the horses werewithin about 150 yards of the post.

The first indication that the race wason was when the horses appearedthrough the mist at that distance, andfour of them went over the line with nota great deal between them, though thegold chequcrs of Rereatu could just bedistinguished in the lead.

The birdcage and enclosures were sooncovered with miniature lakes, while therain beat into the grandstand and mem-bers' stand. It also found its way intothe Press room and the floor was sooncovered with about an inch of water.

The rain eased off before the nextrace and the sun soon broke through,the weather remaining fine for theremainder of the programme.

LEAVE GRANTED.

CARNEGIE FELLOWSHIP.

TECHNICAL COLLEGE . MASTER.

Leave of absence for one year in orderthat he might take up a Carnegie Fel-lowship in the Imperial Institute ofEducation in the University of Londonwas granted to Mr. A. B. Thompson, oneof the senior masters of the SeddonMemorial Technical College at a meetingof the board of managers yesterday.

In a report; presented by the prin-cipal, Mr. G. J. Park, it was stated thatJlr. Thompson was a teacher of manyyears' experience. He would undoubt-edly bring back a store of informationwhich would be of great value to theSchool. Mr. Thompson's applicationmight be used as an illustration toinduce the Minister of Education, theHon. P. Fraser, to make it possible formembers of the college staff to goabroad to obtain experience overseas,which was essential to the progress oftechnical education.

"I am keenly in favour of membersof the staff going abroad," said Mr.Park. "Little is to be learned fromother schools in New Zealand concerningthe technique of teaching technicalschool subjects, but I am confident thereis much to be learned from method'sadopted overseas. It would seem wiseto spend from £100 to £200 every twoor three years in financing teachers whowould visit Australia, Canada or theUnited States to study teaching tech-nique. We do not hesitate to spendlarge sums of money on material equip-ment and we should not hesitate tospend equally on the personal equip-ment of our staff."

ROYAL TREASURES.KING GEORGE'S STAMPS.

(By JOAN LITTLEFIELD.)It is said that King George's

collection of United Kingdom and BritishEmpire stamps is the finest in theworld. It is housed at BuckinghamPalace in a special ground-floor roomoverlooking the great quadrangle and isestimated to be worth about £500,000.The stamps are kept in 600 60-pagevolumes, bound in Royal red half, Mor-occo covers. There are between 500,000and 750,000 stamps in the collection.

Many of the rarest and most valuableof them were filmed in colour last yearby the post office. The film, entitled•'The King's Stamps," takes abouttwenty minutes to show. It is to beexhibited hourly at the internationalphilatelic exhibition in New York, whichPresident Boosevelt is to open 011 May9.

An old friend of King George saysthat his best-loved hobby was his stampcollection, which he began early in lifeand which never ceased to interest him.After a long day's work he liked to sitby the fire with an album of his collec-tion on his knees and point out anynewly-acquired treasures. There wasserious trouble one day when Charlotte,the parrot, was believed—wrongly as itafterwards turned out—to have carriedoff a valuable stamp.

King Edward has never shared hisfather's passion for stamps until now.When he was a small boy King Georgedecided that he ought to "take up stampcollecting as part of liis education. Anumber of packets of stamps of varyingvalues were shown to the young Prince.He decided to start his collection withone costing twelve ai»:l sixpence, prefer-ring it to others of more value becauseof the brightly coloured stamps on theoutside. For

*

a number of years thePrince remained a collector, and heacquired some good stamps. But afterthe war he did not continue the hobby.Ho smilingly explained that one of hisreasons for this was that hie fatheralways had first. choice of all the best

I specimens.—(N.A.N.A.)

A SHILLING A DAY.

FOOD EXPERTS.

The new crop of young women whoare being turned out with degrees ofdomestic science should, in the long run,do much to improve food values andpreparation in this country, says anEnglish paper. While they become morelearned in the biology of a house andknow everything about house hygiene,they also have practical work in a regu-lar planning of meals according to setvalues, in which also some psychologyis included. They may be set a prob-lem, for instance, of feeding a numberof men for a day at a shilling a head.Numbers here -play a part and more can,of course, be done for several men ata time than for one.

One demonstrator gave each man anegg for breakfast with just a touch ofbacon in which to fry it, give it aflavour, and also be absoruexl in a pieceof bread. For the middle-day meal,the main element was split-pea soup ina can and bread and cheese, while hightea included rabbit, from the cost ofwhich a fraction was deducted to allowfor the sale of the skin. Such anestimate implied going to market andfinding out many comparative costs,where things cotild be bought mostcheaply, and in what form. Strips oFbacon, for instance, pared of the betterbits, could be bought at (id a pound.Babbit is a cheap and nourishing foodwhich can be easily obtained from thestreet markets. There are cheap makesof Canadian cheese which help to makeup the number of calories, vitamins anlproteins required by the problem.

Girls who have taken the three years'training in domestic science find johsas dieticians in hospitals and otherinstitutions. They are called upon toserve in the research department ofchain restaurants. Some are employedin hotels. It remains, of course, thatfood may be good and yet not be par-ticularly delectable. Every girl is notborn a "cordon bleu," and the peculiartalent of taste is one that can be onlyhelped, not made, by a training.

Miss Mildred Trent, president of theNational Council of Women, invitedmembers to attend the next meeting ofthe council when a syllabus would bedrawn up for the training of domesticworkers. At present, domestic workwas looked upon as the life work ofinefficient girls, but once the girls hadbeen thoroughly trained, no difficultyshould be experienced in raising thestatus of domestic workers. The systemproposed aimed at training the mis-tresses as well as the maids, said MissTrent. The Home Service Associationhad done splendid work in traininggirls, as she knew from personal experi-ence, and had been, in more than oeeway, of service to the community, and itshould have every support from thepublic.

System of Training.Miss Christobel Robinson, who was

asked to explain her system for theproposed training of domestic workersand of controlling the conditions underwhich they work, submitted the follow-ing proposals: (1) That a ResidentDomestic Training College, tinder thecontrol of . the Technical College Board,be established by the Department ofEducation, so that girls and women of10 years and over may undergo a courseof training. (2) That at this trainingcollege girls be prepared for positionsas cooks, housekeepers, matrons ofinstitutions, waitresses, nurses andother such positions. (3) That girls andwomen who graduate from this training

1 college receive diplomas graded accord-ing to achievement and according to thebranch of work specialised in. (4) Thatgirls and women who graduate from thecollege automatically become membersof an association which shall controlconditions of work, hours, pay, etc., andto which both employer and employeemay turn for protection.

It was stated that women of variousorganisations were keenly interestedin the scheme. Mrs. William Deansmoved that the association should do itsutmost to support the scheme, and itwas decided that a resolution be for-warded to the Minister for Educationand tlio Technical College.

It was pointed out that the problemwas one that concerned not onlydomestics but also their employers andpotential employers, and although thematter had been serious for many years,under the changing conditions of modernlife, the need for action had becomeurgent. The women's organisationsthroughout the world had for some timebeen concerned with this question. Itwae hoped to remove the stigma fromthe occupation of domestics by improv-ing conditions of work, and consequentlyattracting a better type of girl to thework.

Mistress and Maid.In outlining some of the reasons for

friction between mistress and maid,Mrs. William Deans pointed out thatmany young girls from the towns missthe companionship of young schoolfriends when they take positions inthe country. They should be allowedtime to readjust themselves to changedconditions, and their employers shouldsee that they went out as much as pos-sible. The Women's Division of theFarmers' Union and the Women's Insti-tutes were doing good work along thoselines and they hoped to do more in thefuture. Girls should have at least twohours off every afternoon, said Mrs.Deans. It was not an understood thingthat the girls should have that recrea-tion period nor was it planned andarranged for. She was quite sure thatit could be managed by the co-opera-tion of mistress and maid. If mistressesplanned efficiently the week's work,there would be no friction.

Many girls had to work long hoursbecause of their- inefficiency, and thatinefficiency was probably the fault oftheir mothers, who had found it easierto do tie work themselves and had notbothered to teach their girls. Girlsneeded help and encouragement, andshould be given a chance to learn, andto do things in their own way.

"We will not get the type of girlswe want until we treat them with theconsideration which is their due," saidMr.«. Deans, in conclusion.

Miss Lovell-Smith pointed out thatthere was much strong feeling amongtli© girls of the use of their Christianname by children and visitors to thehome of the?'r employers.

It was susifrested also that instead ofdomestic, the girls who have beenefficiently trained should be entitled toa name similar to the name "Kari-tanc" given to nurses.

Reduced to Skinand Bone

Nervous Breakdown andAnaemia.

"I was reduced to such a wreckthrough nervous breakdown andanaemia that I became nothing butskin and bone." So states Mrs. C.Lazarus, of 28 Providence Street,Plymouth, England. "I lost myappetite completely and felt terriblylow and depressed. I could not

sleep at night, although 1 alwaysfelt worn out and tired. I hadn'tthe strength to do my housework.

"We happened to read about Dr.Williams' Pink Pills, and my husbandbought me a bottle. From the day,I started taking the pills I began toimprove; my appetite picked up, andI was able to get a good night'srest. Then my nerves becamesteadier and my energy returned.In a few weeks 1 was like a newwoman, happy and contented, andfit to tackle anything."

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills haveproved a priceless boon to thousandsof run-down, anaemic women,because they actually create new,rich blood, which gives new life andenergy to the whole body.

If you suffer as Mrs. Lazarus did,let nothing prevent you from givingthese pills a trial. 3/- bottle atchemists and stores—but ask forDr. Williams'.

SCOTLAND SURPRISES.

REREATU WINS SPRINT.

RUN IN HEAVY RAIN.

The weather did not look too promis-ing early yesterday morning for theconcluding day of the Avondale JockeyClub's autumn meeting, but it clearedbefore mid-day and remained fine tilljust before the start of the sixth race,the Mount Eden Handicap, -when excep-tionally heavy rain set in and made itquite impossible to see the horses tillthey were a few yards from the post.The downpour ceased before the nextrace, and the weather remained fine forthe remainder of the programme. Therewas a good attendance, and during theday the sum of £20,455 10/ was putthrough the machine, compared with£15,181 for the corresponding daylast year, an increase, of £527410/. This made a total for thefixture of £45,478 10/, against £35,05110/, an increase of £10,427.

The Hack Sprint.Fleet wind was scratched from the

Waitakerei Handicap,, and when thefinal figures were adjusted most sup-port was accorded Matoru (£587),Sebrof ( £372) and Gay Sister (£217).Shy was left at the post, and the earlyleaders were Matoru, Red Flam© andSebrof. Along the back Matoru wasstill the pilot and was showing the wayto Sebrof, Teak, Gallant Kuight, SoloSong, Red Flame, Queen Nona and LordWillonyx. Sebrof had taken chargeacross the top, with Teak, Matoru,Gallant Knight, Solo Song, Queen Nona,Lord Willonyx and Red Flame follow-ing in that order. There was no changeinto the straight, but Matoru then chal-lenged and was in front 100 yards offthe post, but faded a little, and Sebrofwent on to win by a length from QueenNona, who finished on to beat Matoruby a head. Teak was fourth and thencame High Tea, Dark Shadow, LordWillonyx, Gay Sister, Red Flame andShy.

Outsiders in Places.Galilee ( £687) was a warm favourite

for the Autumn Handicap, with goodmoney for Keith Lu (,£386), but a sur-prise was in store, the little fanciedScotland scoring from Gay Rose, thepair carrying £183 and £271 respec-tively. Galilee began smartly and tookup the early running to show the waypast the stands from Sinking Fund, DayWind, Royal Secret, Knight of Austra-lia, Velocipede, Bonny Gay, Scotland,Maine, Gay Rose and Keith Lu. Alongthe back the order was Galilee, SinkingFund, Royal Secret, Knight of Austra-lia, Bonny Gay, Day Wind, Velocipede,Scotland, Maine, Gay Rose and KeithLu. The field began to bunch across the

■ top, where Galilee was just showing theway to Royal Secret, Knight of Aus-tralia, Sinking Fund,. Day Wind, GayRose, Velocipede and Maine. There wasno change in the straight, but Scotlandthen came through, and finishing on infine style went on to beat Gay Rose byhalf a length, with Knight ,of Australiaa similar distance away, third. Veloci-pede, Day Wind, Bonny Gay, RoyalSecret, Sinking Fund, Galilee, Maineand Keith Lu finished as named.

Impossible to See Horses.Owing to blinding rain falling just

before the commencement of the Mt.Eden Handicap it was impossible to seethe horses in running and no descriptionof the race can be given.

A Double Winner.Vera Acre and Mainland declined

their engagement in the Mt. RoskillHandicap, and: when the final figureswere adjusted the best backed wereValise (£381), Hunting Maid (£366)and Loombination (£315). When thefield settled dowix along the back Per-sian Lady was showing the way toTidalia, Valise, - Tutor, Loombination,Full o' Scotch and Hunting'Maid, butafter traversing about a furlong and ahalf Persian Lady fell :and: Te Broneycame down over her, this leaving Tidaliato lead across the top from Tutor,Loombination, Valise, Full o' Scotch,Le Chasseur, Hunting Maid and GoldMusk. Tidalia was first to turn forhome from Tutor, Le Chasseur, Loombi-nation, Valise, and Full o' Scotch, butLoombination theii came through and,finishing on solidly, went on to. win Bya length from Tutor, who beat Full o'Scotch by half a length. Valise wasfourth, and then came Hunting Maid,Le Chasseur, Barograph and Gold Musk.

The Concluding Event.Eight went to the post for the Morn-

ingside Handicap, and in a good bettingrace the. favourite division comprisedAdalene, Delrain and Epris.

WRESTLING.

BLOMFIELD V. KENT.

The Auckland Wrestling Associationhas obtained a match of special interestfor next Monday, in the return of Blom-field and Kent. Last time these two metKent won by sheer fitness and wearing-down tactics. The first meeting of thesetwo was considered one of the bestmatches ever seen in the Town Hall, asit is seldom two more evenly matchedmen can be drawn. Of equal build,strength and cleverness, the matchdevelops into a test of cunning and agilitywhich is always appreciated by the Auck-land public, who have proved great judgesof wrestlers. Due to the cabled news thatMcCready has been selected for a titlebout in America, both Kent and Blom-field are desirous of lowering the Cana-dian's colours, and this bout will betreated as an elimination contest for afurther bout with him.

RUGBY FOOTBALL.

NORTH SHORE ASPIRATIONS.

The North Shore Rugby seniors playeda practice match against Ponsonby onSaturday last. Both teams took advantageof trying out several probables, and theteams were changed every 20 minutes.Interest was chiefly centred on the Shoreteam, which fielded several new playersfrom the Hutt Army team, Wellington, andthe Navy. Many of the players showedability, and no doubt with additionaltraining the team will be a force to berespected.

In view of the fact that it was the firstpractice held by the team, it would beunfair to criticise any of the players, buttheir advent in this season's competitonwill be awaited with interest. The aver-age weight of the Shore pack will be overlist, and the backs over 12st.

H. B. W. Webber, who secured B repre-sentative honours for Auckland in 1933,and represented Whangarei in 1934, hasjoined the Shore Club, and his appearancein the Auckland competitions will beawaited with interest.

The interest shown by the public in thepractice game at Devonport was an indica-tion that this club will have strong sup-port this season.

WHANGAREI RURAL SCHOOLS.

Difficultywas experienced in the election of officers,both the president: and the secretary, Mr.W. Hallett, intimating their inability tocarry on, and no successors could befound.

Over the full distance of 15 three-minute rounds he completely outpointedNeville Mudgway, of Waihi,.and his mar-gin at the finish was wide. Although thecontest was not wildly . thrilling, it wasclean and open, and on occasions extremelyfast. A large crowd received the verdictwith cheers.

With a good record behind him, Plutolooked on paper a tough nut for the NewZealander to crack, and so it proved whenthe gloves were on, the contest almostsuggesting that Mudgway had been askedto do too much. Splendidly fit, the WestAustralian was on his toes from first gongto last and fought with supreme confidencethroughout. His unorthbdox style obvi-ously puzzled his opponent and his speedalso told heavily in his favour. His hit-ting was clean and snappy. Often he letfly punches from the most unexpectedangles, Mudgway's clever covering mostlymaking straight hits impossible. In thematter of weight also the advantage waswith the visitor. Mudgway came in at9.12% and Pluto at 10.3%, and outwardlythe difference appeared even more marked:Over the second half of the journey itappeared that the Australian, whoseswarthy skin provided a contrast withthat of his opponent, was easing up, con-tent in the knowledge that he had piledup a mountain of points. Certainly itnever looked that the decision could ■goany other way than the way it did.

Mudgway Injures Right Hand.Mudgway was on the defensive moreoften tiian not. His covering was good

and saved him from much punishment.When the class of opponent that he wasup against was seen, his • supporters ap-peared content that he should go the fulldistance. It was noticeable that theWaihi man did not make the good useof his right hand that he did in hisprevious Auckland engagement, and itwas stated after the contest that the handhad let him down in the sixth ■ round,the- pain making it impossible to punchproperly with it. An examination showeda definite swelling, but a medical surveyfailed to reveal any broken bones. Appar-ently the trouble was caused through abad jar affecting a bone in the back: ofthe hand that had been broken previously.On at least one occasion Mudgwayappeared to suffer from-a punch that acci-dentally landed low, but he made noappeal and stuck, to his -heart-breakingjob until the final gong.

The first half of the programme gavethe spectators full value for their money,is not being until after D.30 that theamateur bouts were completed. An emer-gency match between C. Smith and R.Wilson provided the crowd with a treatin the way of fajst and scientific boxing,Smith producing his best form to takethe win at his_ first appearance for a longspell. A special attraction was a teams'contest of ten. one-minute bouts betweenmembers of the Northern Boxing Cluband Maoris from Orakei.

The Professional Contest.Controlled by Mr. R. Meale, the profes-

sional contest opened with Pluto on theattack. The Australian slipped severaltimes when moving fast, but snappypunching and clever Work on the ropesallowed him to take the lead. Early inthe second Pluto landed a left low to thebody and Mudgway winced. The NewZealander drove his man to the ropes, butwas unable to land heavily with his rightand Pluto rallied to send his opponentinto a retreat in the face of a stingingtwo-handed attack. A right swing foundPluto's head and then the Australianstaged another two-fisted attack. Thet®r'd'""K*asrTajrly even, with body punchesfreely exchanged. In the fourth Mudgwaysent a nice left to the face, but it wasnot long before the Australian was beat-ing a tattoo with both hands and he keptup the pace to take the round easily. Thevisitor's unorthodox style—one neverknew where the next punch was comingfrom—appeared to have Mudgway sorelypuzzled in the fifth and he was hit witha couple of left hooks early in the sixth.Mudgwa-y rallied better in the seventh, butnot enough to change the impression thathe was fighting a losing fight. The eighthwas fairly quiet and in the ninth Plutov.-as definitely in command. At the gongMudgway's right eyebrow was showingblood. Nothing of note occurred in thetenth, but in the next term Pluto's attacksent Mudgway through the ropes. In aflash the Australian went through afterhim and helped him back into the ring.Over the last four rounds Pluto it waswho did the better work, though he didnot seem over anxious to take any riskin trying for a knock-out. Mostly liefought in bright flashes, in which hisopponent was unable to step it with liim.At the final gong both men were cheered.

The Amateurs.H, Willmott, 9.10, drew with B. Lyall,

8.11.' Boxing the better, Lyall took thepoints in the first round. In the secondWillmott landed a good right to thehead which unsteadied his opponent andallowed him to take the aggressivethroughout. Near the end of the roundLyall was down for a long count andhe was groggy at the gong. The specta-tors cheered widly throughout the thirdterm, in which Lyall boxed on the retreatand AVillmott tried in vain to land atelling punch. The fourth was a splendidbattle and the decision of a draw thor-oughly pleased the crowd.

R. Nixon. 9.8Vz. beat A.B. Young(H.M.S. Philomel), 9.6, on a technicalknock-out in the first round. Taking theaggressive from the start, Nixon put hisopponent through the ropes with a rightto the head. A left and right to the headhad the sailor reeling helplessly 'againstthe ropes and when he was powerless tostop another right to the head the refereestopped the bout and declared Nixon thewinner. ' <'•

D. Gurr, 10.10, beat E. Parsons, 10.6,on points. Parsons set out to make afight of it, relying chiefly 9n 8 rlSnt.In the first round and again in the secondhe upset his opponent, but Gurr cameback well and boxed nicely. Gurr usedhis left to better effect in the third termand in the fourth scored the cleanerpunches, hooking his left effectivelyagainst his bustling opponent.

A. McDonald, 11.7, beat R. Cormack,12.2, on points. McDonald's long reach,gave hitn the advantage in the first round,but a scrambling second was about even.There was not a great deal in the thirdand at the start of the fourth the con-testants were instructed to make a moreopen fight of it. Over the second halfof the term there was some better fight-ing, the best exchanges coming just beforethe final gong.

C. Smith, 9.1%, beat R. Wilson, 9.3, onpoints. Bright boxing was seen in thefirst round, in which Smith scored themore frequently. The second was foughtat a great clip and the crowd showed itsappreciation of the efforts of both con-testants. The third term saw Smith, whohad been called upon at the last minuteto compete, boxing at his brilliant best,with Wilson also willing to attack anamaking a fine fight of it.

Thefields for an opening day were very good,with a- fair sprinkling of new members.There was a good attendance of spectatorsand non-riding members, who will beriding on May, 9, the day of the nextclub races. The day was windy, andagainst fast times, and the roads werein fair condition, there being threepunctures.

A cup has been presented by the NewLynn businessmen, headed by Mr. G.Crum, who has been responsible forobtaining it for the club. . . i

The next races' will be on May 2, whenthe centre will conduct a 25-mile race forjuniors and seniors combined. Entriesclose with the secretary on Sunday at1, Oliver Road, Point Chevalier. The lastsix road performances must be given onthe entry form. All members niust beequipped with a bell and a brake (twobrakes if a free-wheel is used) for thecentre race. In fact this also applies toall club races. Members should take note,otherwise Inspector Bill Kirchcr will becompelled to stop anybody riding who hasnot got his machine efficiently • equipped.. Brothers Les. and Haddon Hawke had ja ding-dong go in the sprint for thejunior race of 4% mile's. Les. prevailedby one length and a half, and his winwas very popular. Les. won the harbourrace of 40.9 miles last year.

Haddon Hawke was probably a tired boywhen he caught his young brother atthe bottom of the straight, for whentimes were checked up it was found thathe had obtained time and was second onhandicap; 60 it was a good family douible.These two boys are probably two of thekeenest racing.

Harry Davies wae third, and showeda welcome return to the wheel sport.There were three Davies racing on Satuivday, Laurie, a new member, and Harry,being juniors, and Arnold, a senior. Harrywas also third fastest.

Lance Johnstone, scratch junior, wasbeaten by H. Hawke by 5s for time.Lance will improve with racing. Two newmembers, J. McKearney and D. Margison,both punctured, but these two, along withBob Smith, a brother of Arch. Smith, alate member of Lynndale, will soon be onthe winning list.

Gordon Helliwell, winner of the- seniorrace of 13% miles, rode a very nice race,and was going well within himself; hewas also second fastest. Arthur Silcock,a new member, was second, and he gavea very free exhibition of pedalling. Alongwith his friend, Gordon Helliwell, he willgo a long way this year if they get downand train.

Stan Alderson was fastest and third.Stan used a three-speed gear very usefully,and he will find himself on scratch beforelong. At unpaced work Stan is probablyunsurpassable. He won the club unpacedchampionship last year.

The scratch men were making hardwork of it, but it was only the first race.Graham Hughes (scr) was the onlysenior to puncture, and G. Cook, J.Hutton, L. Farrant, W. Willis hadmechanical trouble.

A large number of the members wereusing three-speed gears. The first andsecond juniors, and S. Alderson, usedthese devices. This year three-speed gearsappear to be going to play an importantpart in racing.

On Sunday the club run will be toHelensville, leaving the Delta Theatre,New Lynn, at 9.30 a.m. All members areadvised to make use of these runs. Thetraining nights are Tuesday and Thurs-day evenings, leaving Point Chevalier at7 p.m., and are under the direction ofClub Captain Jack Baldwin.

HIGHER RETURNS.

POWER BOARD'S YEAR.

WAITEMATA IMPROVEMENT.it MOST SATISFACTORY."

Gross sales of current for Februaryand March amounted to £23,895, statedthe report of the manager, Mr. A. Main,presented at a meeting of the Waite-mata Electric Power Board yesterdayafternoon. The amount for the sametwo months last year was £22,709, anincrease of £1186.

Sales for the year ended March 31amounted to £104,638, compared with£98,049 in 1935, an increase of £6859.Discount allowed to consumers was£24,311, against £20,073. In 1935-36the month in which the sales of currentwere greatest was September, at£12,973, which figure was an increase

of £1066 on the month last year. Thegreatest increase in the monthly returnswas for June, 1935-36, when the figurewas £8685, compared with £6607, anincrease of £2078. j

Returns prepared by the managershowed that the revenue from bulk pur-chases had increased from £85,587 atMarch 31, 1932, to £104,638 last March31. The average net price per unit soldhad been reduced from 1.48 d in 1932 to1.12 d in 1936.

Increase in Units Sold.In 1934-35, 14,706,762 units were sold,

and in 1935-36, 17,105,021 units. "This6hows definitely that more electricity isbeing used as the unit price decreases,"stated the report. "There have beenvery satisfactory increases in the load."

"During the year an amount of£11,681 was advanced on account of

installations and the like, and repay-ments totalled £5368," the report added."These accounts are in a most satisfac-tory condition, and the repayments havebeen entirely satisfactory. Altogetherwe have advanced over £71,600 to dateto assist consumers to install electricalapparatus and obtain the benefits ofelectricity, and £57,328 of this amounthas been repaid. The balance of sundrydebtors at March 31, 1936, of £14,272represents long-term advances madeduring the past two or three years. Inaddition, the financing of installationshas very considerably helped the sale ofcurrent. The question of extendedcredit is sometimes, a debatable onecommercially, hut in so far as this hoardis concerned it can be clearly shownthat the extension of credit facilitieshas helped the board to build up a bigload in recent years."

"This is a most satisfactory report inall respects," commented the chairman,Mr. W. R. T. Leighton.

A report on the question of providingstorage for Waikato slack coal "foimaintaining a reserve supply for theKing's wharf steam plant, is to besubmitted to the Auckland ElectiicPower Board in a fortnight's time bythe general manager, Mr. R. H. Bartley.

A report to this effect was made at ameeting of the board yesterday by thechairman, Mr. W. J. Holdswortli, whena letter was received from the Ministerof Mines, the Hon. P. C. Webb, relativeto the board's recent advertisement forthe supply and delivery of 900 tons ofNewcastle slack coal. The Minister hadpreviously brought to the attention ofthe board his anxiety to extend theuse of New Zealand coal, and ho desiredto know why Newcastle coal was pre-ferred.

The board replied explaining thatNewcastle coal was required owing toits lasting qualities and the fact thatit had no provision for storing Waikatocoal.

In acknowledging the explanation theMinister stated that he was particularlypleased that the board had withheld theacceptance of any order for Newcastlecoal meantime, pending completion ofestimates for providing suitable storagefor New Zealand coal, the use of which,he was glad to observe, the board wasout to encourage in preference to anyother. The Minister added that hewould be glad if the board would advisehim later what' ultimate action itdecided to take.

The Minister's letter was received.

[ Queen Victoria's Rifles, and had beena commissioned officer for 28 yearswhen he retired in 1905. After hisreturn to England from his West Indiestour in 1915, he attempted to rejoin hisold regiment, but was almost immedi-ately stricken with a severe illness,from the effects of which he never fullyrecovered. He had entered the scrviceof the Royal Colonial Institute as a boyof 14 in the year 1873, and was one ofthe most enthusiastic members. MajorBoose was also an author, amongst hispublications being "Memory Serving,"which fully described his two tours ofNew Zealand, and "Literature in NewZealand."

MRS. THOMAS WEBB.

The de#fcli has occurred at Kohima-rama of Mrs. Thomas Webb, widow ofthe late Mr. Thomas Webb, of MountAlbert* in her seventy-fifth year. Mrs.Webb was one of the early pioneers ofAuckland. She came out from Homewith her parents in 1860 in the steamerRobert "Law, which brought the 14thRegiment to New Zealand. Her fatherwas a lieutenant-quartermaster onboard and later was promoted to cap-tain. He also acted as A.D.C. to SirGeorge Grey. In her younger days Mrs.Webb took a keen interest in the oldAuckland Choral Society. She had spentthe:greater part of her life in the Mount-Albert district. Mrs;'Webb is survivedby Miss Ruth Webb and Mrs. Warbur-ton (Kohimarama), Mrs. Ashburn (Hen-derson), Mjß. H. J. Avery (Blenheim),Mr. J. H. Webb (Mount Albert) andMessrs. S. G. and T. A. Webb (Sydney).

MRS. MARY E. ASHLEY.

Another link with the Canterburypioneers;has been severed by" the deathof Mrs. Mary Eliza Ashley in Auck-land. Mrs. Ashley came north to livewith her daughter, Mrs. Jeffares, MountAlbert,, about five years ago. She wasthe daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.James Andrews, who arrived in Canter-bury: shortly after the first four ships,and was born at Papanui in 1858, beingone of a family of 13. Some of-her•brothers later occupied high positionsin the New Zealand Railways. Mrs.Ashley spent ; the early part of her lifeat Southbridge, where, in 1878, she mar-ried Mr. James Ashley, of the RailwaysDepartment, who eventually rose to theiposition of district traffic manager andwas- a well-known member of localbodies in North Canterbury._

She is sur-vived by a family consisting of Mes-dames I. H. B. Jeffares (Mount Albert),H. W. Papps (Tauranga), L. L. Lindop(Greymouth) and C. Maitland Slieppard(Christchurch), and Messrs. R. L.

MOTORINGCARAVANS IN N.Z.

INSURANCE COVER.

INVOLVED LEGAL POINTS.

NEW LEGISLATION NEEDED.

Legal complexities surround the con-troversial question of what constitutesa trailer and what third-party insurancecover is required, according to Mr. F.W. Johnston, pesident of the SouthIsland Motor Union. Caravans are notmotor vehicles, and he suggests thatnew legislation by Order-in-Council isneeded to solve the position.

The definition of a "motor vehicle"under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1924,meant any vehicle propelled bymechanical power and included a traileror any other vehicle or locomotive of aclass declared by regulations under theAct to be motor vehicles, he said. Inthe same Act the definition of a trailerwas "a vehicle without motive power,designed solely or principally for thecarriage of 'persons or goods and drawnor propelled by a motor vehicle," but didnot include a side-car attached to amotor cycle.

Ruling of Magistrate.On the law as it stood at present a

southern magistrate recently held thata trailer conveying a house on wheelswas not in law a trailer, as it was notdesigned solely or principally for thecarriage of goods or passengers. "Theword 'goods' had a very wide meaningin law, and with every respect to thelearned magistrate, if the case had comebefore me I would have decided in theopposite direction, because the housewhich was conveyed on the trailerchassis was no doubt composed of woodand iron which, in my opinion, aregoods. The chassis and wheels were theactual trailer, carrying on it goods—thewcod and iron comprising the house,"continued Mr. Johnston.

"At the present time the legal posi-tion is ?raught with dangerous possi-bilities from the public point of view.Cautious people, not wishing to takeany risks under the third partyprovisions of the Motor Vehicles Insur-ance (Third Party Risks) Act, 1928, areregistering their trailer-caravans astrailers. But if the magistrate's decisionis correct, such an insurance under theThird Party Risks Act would be void,as such a trailer-caravan, not being atrailer within the meaning of theMotor Vehicles Act, would not comewithin the provisions of the InsuranceAct, as a motor vehicle under theInsurance Act has the same meaning asin the Motor Vehicles Act."

Under the present law, it certainlybehoved the owner of every trailer-caravan to take out a comprehensivepolicy covering his liability, he said. Somuch for the owner of the vehicle, buthow..were the general public to fare? Ifthe trailer-caravan caused seriousinjury, even death, and the trailer-caravan belonged to or had been hiredby some careless and impecunious motordriver, the per son. injured, or his depend-ants in case of death, would be withoutredress, because even if the trailer-caravan had been hired from a well-to-do company or person the owner wouldnot. be responsible for the acts of thehirer.

In the past there had been a greatoutcry against legislation by Order-in-Council. The present position affordeda unique opportunity of legislation byOrder-in-Council, extending the defini-tion of motor vehicle so as to includecaravans of all descriptions when drawnby a motor vehicle.

Considerable legal artistry, however,would need to be displayed in the draft-ing of the regulation as the rights andliabilities of the ordinary carrier wouldhave to bo taken into consideration.

MOTORISTS' INTERESTS

AUCKLAND ASSOCIATION.

Mr. A. Grayson, president of theAutomobile Association (Auckland), Mi'.G. W. Hutchison, secretary, and Mr. R.A*. Champtaloup, touring manager, left•by car this morning for a tour of NorthAuckland. Meetings of associationmembers will be: addressed at Dargavillethis evening and at Wliangarei to-morrow evening, when the association smotion picture film will also be shown.An inspection of road works in NorthAuckland will bo carried out by theparty.

Motorists driving at night, and par-ticularly when approaching Auckland,have complained about glaring head-lights on cars coming from the oppositedirection. The association is setting anexample in the matter of coirectingglaring headlights by sending its patrolsregularly into country districts toadjust car lights. In view of the greatsafeguard toward public safety providedby this work the association does notlimit its activities to members only, buttests the lights of non-member driversfor a modest fee. The association alsopoints out that many garages carryout headlight adjustment.

A traffic inspector has the power toinspect the brakes of motor vehicles, butmust be seated beside the driver and nottake the wheel himself. He should alsonot ride on the running board. Theserulings v/ere contained in a letter fromthe Commissioner of Transport to theNorth Island Motor Union. A copy ofthe letterwas. receiyed at tho last meet-ing of the association.

OFF-SIDE RULE.

DRIVERS CONFUSED.HOW TO AVOID MISHAPS.

PROCEDURE FOR MOTORISTS.

An explanation of the off-side rule,over the interpretation of which a num-ber of motorists appear to be confused,was given this morning by an official ofthe Auckland Automobile Association."The off-side rule was brought in toassist in regulating traffic at inter-sections," ho said. "In almost everylegal action resulting from accidents atintersections the off-side rule is stressedin defence by one side or the other. Somany judgments cover such a varietyof circumstances that the ordinarymotorist is liable to bo somewhat con-fused.

"To put it in a simple manner, theoff-side rule applies only to intersections,and the motorist approaching such aplace must give right-of-way to trafficcoming from his right. This, however,does not give left-hand traffic the free-dom of the road to proceed irrespectiveof any other circumstances. The drivermust regulate his behaviour with dueiegard to the safety of all classes ofroad users and the circumstances per-taining at the time.

"There are instances where twomotorists approaching an intersectionare both on the Tight-hand side of eachother. The only safe thing to do is toapproach the intersection cautiously,give the other driver an indication ofyour intention, receive his signal, andproceed in such a way that neither carwill encounter difficulties. After all, theoff-side rule is simply a guidance, andevery corner and every intersectionmust be approached from a common-sense point of view."

THE SEGRAVE TROPHY.

AWARD TO RACING DRIVER.

The Segrave Trophy is awardedannually in memory of Sir HenrySegrave to any British subject who hasupheld the British prestige notably bysome action involving courage, initiativeand skill, which tends to assist thedevelopment of transport by land, inthe air, or by water. After consideringthe performances of 1035 the committeehas awarded this high tribute to Cap-tain G. E. T. Eyston; the long historyof records achieved by that driver isthus rewarded suitably, for, in fact,Captain Eyston has been second to nonein this branch of automobile sport.

The trophy itself is quite one of thebest designs ever produced for itspurpose—simple, dignified and effective.Hitherto it has been won mostly by airpilots, for it was awarded to the lateWing-Commander Charles KingsfordSmith in 1930, the late Squadron-LeaderBert Hinkler in 1931, Mrs. J. Mollisonin 1932, and Mr. K. Waller in 1934. The1933 award alone was made to a racingdriver, when the coveted honour fell toSir Malcolm Campbell.

MOTOR CYCLE NOTES.

RUIM TO MATAMATA.

BEACH CHAMPIONSHIPS.

The next 'trial run of the AucklandMotor Cycle Club is to be held the week-end after next, May 2 and 3, when therewill be a run to Matamata. Riders willleave from the club rooms at 1.30 p.m.,and follow the Great South Road toHamilton, where they will be joined bymembers of the Hamilton Motor CycleClub. Thence they will follow the mainroad, via Cambridge, to Matamata, wherethey will have dinner. After dinner theywill ride four miles to Opal Springs, wherethey will be accommodate in the localhall.

On the return run to Auckland theywill follow a route through Morrinsville,Patetonga, Kaihere and Pokeno, on whichthere will be more call for good ridingthan on the main roads, as near Kaiherea bridge has sagged in the middle, eothat it dips under water, making a trickyobstacle to negotiate, while there willbe in addition a couple of observed water-splashes.

To be awarded to the winner of thetrial, Mr. Ted White has presented atrophy—the Opal Cup.

RACES AT MURIWAI.Although the wet weather deterred

many entrants from riding, Muriwai Beachwas in good condition for the holding ofthe beach championship meeting by theAuckland Motor Cycle Club on Sunday.The rain did no more than make thebeach a little heavy, and visibility poorerthan usual, fairly good times being

recorded.Results wore: —

New Zealand Beach Championship, 20miles. —J. Dale (Rudge) 1, 11. Matthews(Rudge) 2, C. Buchanan (Velocettc) 3.Time, 17.56 2-5. There were six starters.N. Warry, an Australian rider, mountedon a Norton, led for the lirst 12 miles, buthad to withdraw owing to the carburettorof his machine becoming loose.

Auckland Open 500 c.c. Championship.—N. Warr.v (Norton) 1, H. Matthews(Rudge) 2. J. Dale (Rudge) 3. Time,8.55 2-5. There were four starters.

Auckland 350 c.c. Championship.—C.Buchanan (Velocette) 1, L. McLaren(A.J.S.) 2. Time, 9.45 3-5. There werefour starters.

Five Miles Open Handicap.—L. McLarenM.J.S,) 1. W. McCarthy (Rudge) 2, N.Warry (Norton) 3. Time, 6.4 1-5. Therewere six starters.

New Zealand Sidechair Championship, 10miles.—D. McKenzie (Harley-Davidson) 1.Time, 14.14. There were only two starters.

BALANCING THE WHEELS.

A slight tendency towards wheelwobble at fairly high speeds can some-times be traced to uneven balancing ofthe front wheels. The out-of-balanceforces do not enter into considerationso much in normal touring.

To balance them, jack up so that thewheels can rotate. Spin by hand andnote at which position they come torest. It is then a matter of bindinglead wire around the spokes diametri-cally opposite the point which normallycomes to rest nearest the ground. Whenthe correct balance has been obtained,the wheels should stop in any positionwith no tendency to revolve on theirown, as the weight all round should beequal.

AUSTIN TEN-FOUR.

NEW SIX-WINDOW MODEL.

DISTINCTIVE BODY DESIGN,

A new model of one of the most consistently successful 10 horse-power carsyet produced is announced by the AustinCompany. This car, called the Shei-borne, is a six-window saloon mountedon the Austin Ten-four chassis, and isnotable for its distinctive lines, whichmark a new departure in Austin bodyd°Thu3 while the front of this newmodel favours, if anything, previousAustin body practice, and ensures wide-angle vision for driving, the roof-linesweeps to the rear without interruptionto provide a flush back. This feature o

the Sherborne is a practical interpreta-tion of modern streamline tendenciesthere are no extreme lines to create over-hang or extreme overall length and theinclusion of rear-quarter windows ren-ders this model a six-window saloon.

The portion of the rear panel whichencloses the spare wheel drops to forma useful luggage platform, and carries

with it the number plate and combinedrear-and-stop light. The long waist-line moulding that continues right roundthe back panel from the front of thecar adds to the apparent length, andthe deeply valanced wings, quite apartfrom their efficiency, are in accord withthe general sweep of line.

The interior of the Sherborne is bothroomy and comfortable. Hie seating isextra deep. That at the rear, whichhas side arm rests, is somewhat longerfrom back to front than on pieviousmodels, and the front seats are readilyadjustable. Wide doors make for easyentrance and egress, and the slidingroof, which is flush fitting, can be lockedat any position up to the wide maximumopening.

FAIRY RING.

tT was set neatly in the centre of a

1 tiny green field, a broad ring ofdarker green—the size, perhaps, of a

small circus ring.It was a fairy ring, of course. That

was never questioned. At night, whendark had fallen over Connemara, ormaybe the moon was flooding the hillswith hard whiteness, who knew whatmight have been seen in that little Held,then? Fairies, certainly, pixies, elves,leprechauns. ...

Not that anybody was frightened ofthe ring. It was a thing to be regardedwith proper -awe, but not terror. Sure,it would be a hard-like thing for thelittle people if they had no rings todance and sport and make ploy in ofnights.

The field containing the ring was partof Seamus Kelly's little farm. Thatfarm was a model for the neighbour-hood. Nowhere was turf stacked moreneatly, fields tilled more fruitfully, orsheep And cows herded better. And thefarm prospered accordingly.

"Sure, 'tis having the good fairieswith us that's the cause of it," saidNora, his wife. "You'll not be findingthem where there's no prosperity, theway the luck goes or stays with them."

But Seamus became grasping. Hishunlble prosperity made him avid ofgreater. He forgot the fairies, and,when 'M remembered them his browgrew dark.! luck it is to be having that'fairy ring right in the. middle of myfield,'' he told Nora one day.

;" "111 luck!" Her eyes widened. "Why,Seamus, 'tis the best luck in the world!Have not the fairies prospered ye? .Och,'tis a grand tiling to be having the littlepeople with ye."

"That may be so," answered Seamus,gloomily. "But it goes to the heart ofpie to have that field lying fallow,season in and season out. If it wasn'tfor the ring, I'd have ploughed it overthe many years ago, and made a goodprofit cut of it.,J

"Ah, but ye'd never plough over afairy ring, and leave the little peoplehomeless? The way they'd do ye mis-chief, then, sure."

Seamus was silent. Bitterly hebegrudged the wasted field. A fairy-ring was, of course, always leftuntouched, and so tiny was the field itwould have been impossible to till anyportion of it without disturbing thering.

Seamus said no more then, but histhought spread. When you had a tinyfarm the size of his, wasn't it thecriminal waste not to be using everyinch of it? The little people had had itlong enough. Och, they couldn't bebearing malice if he was to till his ownfield, at last.

One day he brought home a canvasbag and hid it in the washhousc. ButNora found it there.

"What is it that's in this bag at all,Seamus?" she called. "It feels likegrain." '-V t'-~

"And what if it is?""But what's it for? Ye have sown all

the grain ye've room for.""Aye, sure," ho replied, with elaborate

casualness. "All but the field with thefairy ring."

"Seamus!" she cried, sharply. "Ye'dnever be tilling that field?"

"Have done, woman, will ye?" hoanswered with impatience. "I'll do it>if I Want."

"Evil will come of it," she warnedhim solemnly. "Was there ever a manthat disturbed the little people yet buthe Wasn't made to weep the many, bit-ter tears for it?"

But he cursed roughly, as men dowheri they are unconvinced as to thewisdom'of their course, and would notlisten to her.

Nora slept ill for foreboding thatnight, nor, if th 6 truth is to be told, didSeamus rest any better. But he wasdetermined, and the next day he set towork.

His farm was laid on ground unusu-ally flat for that locality, and he wasone of the few farmers there who wereable to use a plough. He harnessed hishorse to the plough, and wheeled itthrough tho gate of the field with thefairy ring.

He lowered the ploughshare. His handtrembled, and he wis amazed to find hisbrow moist. He swore to himself, tohearten his courage.

"Get up, now—get up!" he shouted.The horse stood a moment with

arched rieck, as though astonished atthe task before it. Seamus called again.The horse strained forward and theplough rasped into the ground. Straightat the fairy ring went Seamus. Hedrove the share pitilessly in, but itrammed against a buried flint, and agrating noise, in which there seemed tobe something of warning rang out.Seamus had to pull the plough out, andthere was a blunt, shining bend to theeager nose of it.

"Old wives tales!" muttered Seamus.He plunged the share once more into

the ring, and this time the firm turfyielded with something that might havebeen a sigh. The bright share sweptcrisply through, and a broad, flat layerof ground a yard long was turnedits cleaving.

The first step had been taken. Thehome of the little people had beendefiled. Seamus made tip his mind tofinish as quickly as possible. But hestood a moment after that initial,scarifying slash. He had lived on thosebare hills for the whole of his forty-odd years, yet never before had thedeadly quiet of it struck into him as itdid now. The air was heavy and still,as though the life had gone from it.

The horse, quiet beast though he was,pitched clumsily up on his hind legs,with rolling eyes. Seamus' touch wasnot normal and the horse sensed theunusual in it. Seamus was flung stag-gering backwards. He reeled againstthe jagged ploughshare and on theinstant the calf on his left leg wasripped almost from ankle to knee.

Seamus looked dully at his wound. Hecould see the glint of white bonestretching through the angry flesh. Theblood oozed, at first in reluctant gouts,and then in a sudden gush, so that theo-round by his foot was dyed with itand the green of the fairy ring was the

I darker for the conti-asting scarlet.! The abruptness of the happening' numbed him. It had all happened soswiftly, so utterly unexpectedly, that hecould not believe that it had happened.

..Then, as he gazed incredulously at theterrible gash, the pain came in a great

(SHORT STORY.)

(By Colin Howard.)

ill a swamp of blood, liis face pressedto the harsh grass. It seemed that thedark green blades were rearing andthrusting savagely into his face.

She bore him to the house. It wasgruelling work and the muscles of herframe ached until she thought shewould never know ease in them again.Scamus did not recover from his faint,although once or twice he stirred andgroaned as she half dragged him along.

She put him to dccl and washed theinjured limb, her lips compassionatelycompressed. She bound it as best shemight with coarse strips of clean linen.He lay quite still, his eyes closed, butat least he no longer moaned. Shemight leave him now while she fetchedhelp. Huddling her shawl over her head,she slipped from the house and ran amile across the hills to the stead wheredwelt their nearest neighbours. Hereshe found a boy who would go to thedistant town for a doctor, and, havingWatched him leave on his mission, shereturned to Seamus' 3tde.

It was late evening before the doctorarrived, and Seamus had been fullysensible for some hours. But he was in"■reat pain and groaned and clinchedas the doctor plied the needle withwhich he linked the gaping flesh. Thedoctor would not allow Nora to remain,and, wandering outside, she spied thehorse, still standing patiently at theplough. The sight made her shivfer, and,running into the field, she raised theshare and drove the plough into thevard. She unhitched the horse andthen, as though compelled against herwill, turned back to look at the fairyring.

The deep gash in it remained open,stark and reproachful.

Time went by and Scamus languishedin bed. He was racked with a feverwhich would not pass, and he burnedand tossed on his bed with incessantdemands for water.

The fever lingered. Nor would hisleg heal, and the doctor was puzzled,for the gash, although fearful, had beenclean. It stayed obstinately and inex-plicably open, held together only bystitches. He grew thin andl gaunt; Hisflushed cheek-bone 3 stood prominentlyout, and his eyes were bright and dryabove them. Day gave place to day.

So gradually it was borne in uponNora what she had to do.

She waited one night until Seamushad fallen into uneasy slumber. Hervigil was long, and she was likoly tohave slept before him, for she was deadweary, but she had a task in front ofher. But presently he dropped into amuttering dose, and she moved sileiltlyaway from his side and went out intothe night.

It was very still. The moon was bigin the sky and the mountains loomedand rolled about her, swollen to fantas-tic sizes by its light. She took a spadeand a handful of tools from the wash-house and went to the plough.

She dropped on Iter knees beside itand wrestled fiercely, witli little pantinggasps, to detach the share. She wasunskilled in such matters, but at lengthit dropped with a- clang to the ground.She picked it up, with strained breath,for it was weighty, and carried it in herarms to the fairy ring. Then shereturned for the spade. The moon shonesolemnly down upon her flitting figure.

She leaned upon the spade and gazedat the yawning wound in the green-ringed sward. The world was veryquiet. She measured the slash with hereye. Then she set resolutely to work,and the spade chuffed into the gash asshe enlarged it.

Soon it was wide enough for her pur-pose. She deepened it still furtherbefore she wa.s satisfied. She droppedthe spade and lifted the ploughshare.The jagged nose giinted sinisterly wherethe buried flint had scored it. She drop-ped the share into the hole, and it lavthere, its outline fretted with thecrumbling earth dislodged by its fall.

• • • •

Nora seemed to be aware of an atmo-sphere of pregnant, waiting watchful-ness. With the spade, she scooped theloosened earth into the rift on top ofthe share, and laid it flat with heavyblows. The strip of turf, whole andundamaged, was at her hand, and shevery carefully placed it back upon thedisrupted earth. It filled the scarexactly. She patted and smoothed itwith anxious attention. Then she stoodback to look upon her work of healing'.

The fairy ring was complete Ortcemore. Save for the slightest humpwhere the interred share lay as a sacri-fice, it circled, serene and inviolate. It;was as though it had never beendisturbed.

Nora felt,uplifted, exalted. A lightnight wind sprang up. as if it had beenwaiting for her to finish, and passedover her like, a thought. It cooled herchecks, and dried her brow.

"It is good," sakl Nora, slowly andwith conviction.# 1 "Surely there wasScamus' fever went in that."

She walked back to the house, andher bearing was strongly upright, asthough she liad let slip a burden.

Seamus was lying, his head pillowedupon one arm, his breath coming easily.She passed her hand across his forehead,and it 110 longer burned.

The wound in his leg began to knitthe following day.
