TVELIVERANCE is wrought not by tnemany, but by the few; not by bodies,

but by persons.The greatest discovery of the mind wns

neither fire nor electricity, but the power

to share in another's pain.

There are certain fine instincts CJibeddedin human nature. One of these instinctsis respect for suffering.

The feeling of sympathy is developed Inthe first stages of civilisation, anH dis-appears as civilisation reaches its zenith.

"Except I shall see in Ills hands theprint of the nails and put my fingers intothe print of the nails and thrust my handinto His side, I will not believe."

A struggle against the demon of asthma,sometimes a chronic and crippling ninludy,

ja terrible onslaught, a fighting battle for| breath, a ceaseless buffeting In ceaselessrhythm, slightest movement agony, alto-gether an anguish. To one who suitersthus, especially in the watches of the night,solitude becomes intolerable. Are tlicreCHILDREN who suffer' thus? Crippled Inbreathing, handicapped from the beginningin the struggle for life. She is not dead,

the child of our affection, but gone intothe school where she no longer needs ourpoor protection, and Christ Himself do:hrule. 9

THE WEEK REVIEWED.

ONLY MODERATE TURNOVER.

INVESTORS STILL CAUTIOUS

PREFER GOVERNMENT STOCKS

Business on the Auckland Stock Ex-change for the weekly period ending lastnight was only moderate, though a de-finite improvement was noted towards theclose. Values on the whole are wellmaintained, but there is little zest in theinquiry. There are plenty of buyers butthey are not keen and. generally speaking,are looking for bargains. Holders, how-ever, arc firm as to their ideas of values,and not many concessions are offered.

The strongest section of all has been thatdevoted to Government stocks. Forthese there have been buyers at every callfor practically all lines listed; but sellershave been hard to find. An exceptionhas been the 1910's, which were weak bycomparison and just managed to i-etaina slight rise made at the close of the pre-vious week. Both 1940's and 1949"s regis-tered advances, with sales at £100 and;£10!) respectively, and for 1955's buyersmoved up 10/ to £110 10/ without obtain-ing supplies. This result was not sur-prising seeing that the scrip sold for £111in Christchuieh and £111 5/ in Welling-ton. This partiality for Governmentstocks may be accepted as a consequenceof a weak market. Investors are notprepared, while so many disturbing factorsexist, to invest freely in general securitiesand prefer to put their money in gilt-edgod stock, even at a low interest rate,and with no prospect of subsequent accre-tions. From this standpoint it seemsanomalous that the long dated 1955'5,maturing 20 years hence, should enjoy asubstantial premium over the 'forties,which have only five years to run. Inview of the uncertainty of interest ratesanil the probability that they will rise ina icv.- years' time, one would have ex-pected the movement to go the other way.At the present timu the investor in 1935bonds has to be content with just overo'i per cent per annum on outlay, whilethe same money placed in the 19-10 issuewill return over o',i per cent.

Fair Trade in Banks.There has been a fair turnover in banks

with only slight changes in valuations.Xew Zealands were steady between 49/2and 4!)/(i, and Reserves were unchangedat £6 10/6 until yesterday afternoon,when a parcel changed hands at 3d lower.Nationals showed a weakening tendency.Sellers dropped back to 09/ on Thursdaywithout attracting a buying bid, and yes-terday the line was not quoted eitherway. Australian issues showed a slightimprovement, New South Wales sold 2/6higher, Commercials Id better, andUnionswere up 1/3.

Insurances.Insurances were steady and quiet. New

Zealands gained 9d on the Monday witha sale at 67/9, and retained the rise forthe rest of the week.

South British, on the other hand,slipped back b'd with a final transactionat 93/9. Standards, after paying interimdividend of 1/3 on Monday, had subse-quent business at 72/, equal to a rise of1/3.

Mining.The speculative clement seems to have

gone out of mining in tho meantime, andbusiness is almost wholly confined tothose enterprises which arc actually win-ning gold in large or in small quantities.Even in the case of Waihia buyers werenot prepared to i'ollow the upward trendof gold. Values were steady between41/3 and 41/(s—quite high enough evenwith gold at £7 9/ an ounce. However.the time for the publication of the annualaccounts is approaching, and when theseare disclosed it may be that recentvalues will be justified. Grand Junc-tions at 4/9 and Blackwaters at 31/Cwere unchanged. Amongst miscellaneousissues Big Rivers showed improvement,with a final sale at 2/3.

Australian.There was a steady inquiry for miscel-

laneous Australian securities, but onlysmall business resulted. Goltlsbrouoh,Morts were easier with quotations be-tween 27/ and 28/. Colonial Sugar im-proved ;y with a sale last Saturday at£40 15/. The shares continued to firmand yesterday an offer of £41 5/ failedto attract holders, who stood out for£42. In tho unlisted section Wool-worths. Limited, were still in popular de-mand and sold from 92/ to 91/9.

Dominion Issues.The miscellaneous section, including

Dominion industrials, were fairly wellsupported. There were very few changesin. values. Auckland Gas dropped 2dwith sales at 27/4, but the easing wasonly temporary, and a subsequent trans-action was at 27/0. Wilsons Cement at34/, New Zealand Drug from 79/ to 80/.Guarantee Corporation at 5/10 to 6/, andFarmers' Auctioneering at 70/ were all onthe same basis as previous business. Theonly noticeable change was a drop inWestport-Stocktons, following a rathergloomy statement'by the chairman ofdirectors at the recent annual meeting.The ordinary 10/ shares were quittedfreely at 1/ and later at 1/3. and the pre-ferences (also 10/) changed hands at 3/8.

tuations in values of various securities:—

RECIPROCAL TRADE.

BIRMINGHAM VIEWPOINT.

EEPLY TO DOMINION

At a recent meeting of the BirminghamChamber of Commerce X. ParkerSmith, who presented the report of theTariff Committee said that considerationhad been given to communications fromthe Associated Chambers of Commerce ofNew Zealand asking that influence shouldbe used with the Imperial Governmentto restrain it from imposing restrictionson the importation of New Zealand meatinto Great Britain. The lnvercargillChamber of Commerce referred to theserious position which confronts New Zea-land in regard to incut and the deplorableeffect the imposition of any quotas wouldhave if applied to New Zealand produce,including the curtailment of the ability ofNew Zealand to purchase British goods.

After careful consideration, said MrSmith, the committee reached the con-clusion that the question of meat quotaswas part of Ihc much larger one ofeconomic cohesion within the Empire, andultimately the following resolution was!passed for transmission to the lnvercargillChamber of Commerce: —"That, whilstappreciating the point of view entertainedby the lnvercargill Chamber of Commerce,id is felt that much greater economic co-ordination between the industrial andagricultural interests in lx>th Now Zealandand Groat Britain is called for. At thisjuncture, therefore, tlin committeehesitates to express an opinion on a matterwhich only touches the fringe of the largerissue." At the same time the committeefelt it would not bo inappropriate to bringto the notice of the lnvercargill Chamberthe fact that a good deal of dissatisfactionhas boon occasioned to the manufacturingcommunity in the United Kingdom withregard to the tariff policy of the NewZealand Government. A letter was accord-ingly addressed to the lnvercargill Cham-ber [pointing out that when manufacturersin the United Kingdom first learned ofthe recommendations made by the TariffCommission there were general expressionsof satisfaction that the spirit of Ottawawas to be implemented in an importantDominion. It was widely assumed that,having regard to the prolonged delibera-tions of the Tariff Commission. then-recommendations would be substantiallyadopted. It was learned with keen dis-appointment that modifications had beenmado by the New Zealand Governmentgreatly reducing the concessions recom-mended, .iiiThe committee also pointed out that, byreason of the depreciation of the NewZealand currency, the secondary industriesin New Zealand were afforded an addi-tional artificial measure of protectionagainst their competitors from Britain.Moreover, an examination of the tradereturns disclosed the fact that the importa-tion into the United Kingdom of NewZealand produce was substantially higherduring 103-i than previously to the OttawaConference, whereas no such benefit iiaclbeen enjoyed by United Kingdom manu-facturers io the New Zealand market. Hieview was also expressed that there wasstill room for improvement in the balanceof trade between the two countries.

FUTURE OF INTEREST RATES.

ADJUSTMENT OF MORTGAGES.

"It is inevitable," remarks the" "Accoun-tants' Journal," "that expert opinion onthe subject of the future of interest ratesshould be divided, and it is perhapsunwise to make guesses about what moneyis likely to be worth owing to the likeli-hood of political and economic changes.There is one suggestion that we do make,and that is that where it is possible torearrange mortgage finance at the pre-vailing low rates it is wise to do so. Withthe legislation in force hundreds, if notthousands, of mortgages arc running onoverdue, and sooner or later there will bea scramble for advances. Where theindividual Or a business firm can makesatisfactory arrangements ahead for thenext five to ton years prudence dictatesthat this should be done. Some peoplemay be carried away with the idea thatthe banks have ample funds to lend atlow rates on current overdraft, but it isunsound to finance fixed assets such asland, bricks and mortar, on this basis.Apart from the possibility of overdraftrates rising rapidly if a trade boom even-tuates, it should be remembered that anoverdraft should be used for temporaryaccommodation and, after all, it is repay-able on demand."

NEW TREATMENT.CHILD PARALYSIS.

TOTAL CURES CLAIMED.

INTEREST IN AUSTRALIA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

SYDNEY, March 4.Last Tuesday a large audience

gathered at the Savoy Theatre to hearthe distinguished surgeon, Dr. John

Eraser, regius professor of clinical sur-gery at Edinburgh University, deliverthe first Charles Clubbe memorial ora-tion. The address waa naturally con-cerned with the progress of medical andsurgical treatment in relation to. children,for Sir Charles Clubbe was besifc knownthrough his work at the Royal Alexan-dra Hospital for Children, and his life —

"One of ungrudging service to his fellow-beings," Sir Phillip Street termed it—was devoted chiefly to them and theirWelfare.

In his oration, Professor Fraser re-ferred at some length to infantile paraly-sis, for Sir Charles Clubbe had paid muchattention to this terrible scourge, andin 1930 he organised the infantileparalysis committee which has beenworking hard to save and cure the vic-tims of this dreadful disease.

Funds Nearly Exhausted.Largely through the exertions of Sir

Charles Clubbe, when the committeewas organised in 1930, a little over£3000 was raised, and this fund hasbeen supplemented since, though it hasreceived no Government subsidy or aidof any kind. The funds have beenexpended at the rate of about £1000 ayear; the money is now practicallyexhausted, and the stock of serum hasrun out. The eervioe has been givenwithout charge to all patients

In the epidemic of 1932, the serumadministered to the children treated at'he Royal Alexandria was worth nearly£1000; for a single dose may cost £10.tyd now, just when the committee'sunds have reached the point of exhaua-

tion the disease is manifesting itselfagain in Victoria as well as New SouthWales. Last week seven cases werereported from the Western District ofVictoria, but in New South Wales thedisease hae been alarmingly active forsome time past. Since September last158 cases have been reported—48 in thecountry districts and 110 in the metro-politan area.

; Since the end of January the com-' mittee has sent 30.doses of serum into-the country, and has treated 111 casesand administered serum to 40 cases

in the city. There have been twodeaths in the country, and five in thecity since the epidemic revived.

High Mortality.

In the oration in which ProfessorFraser, the other night, commemoratedSir Charles Clubbe's splendid services tothe community, he described the disease,with its sequel of paralysis, as "perhapsthe greatest tragedy of young life, shortof death itself—and perhaps even deathis preferable." Nor can this be regardedas an exaggeration, for the percentageof those who suffer permanently fromthe attack of this dreadful disease is

high. According to a Macquane Streetspecialist who has been closely m touchwith the work done for infantile para-lysis cases at the E.A. Hospital, about20 per cent are cured, less than 2t> percent have to wear splints "for lengthyperiods," and about 20 per cent have towear splints for the rest of their lives."About 60 per cent," says this report,"remain disable* in varying degrees, butin most cases are able to earn a living.If this is the best that modern medicaland surgical science can offer, it seemsbut cold comfort for the victims andtheir relations and friends.

War Nurse's Work.However, during the past week some-

thing has happened here which hasstirred hope once more in many a sor-rowing heart. The name of NurseKenny is well known to many thousand,

of Australians who passed through theordeal of the Great War. Miss Eliza-beth Kenny, of Sydney, was in Englandwhen the war broke out. bhe imme-

diately volunteered for nursing eeiyiceand was sent to France. She nursedthousands of wounded "Diggers a d.made 1C voyages to and from fust, ahain hospital ships. Out of her long and

varied experience of para yew cases.fol-lowing on meningitis, she built up a

method of treatment of her own, differ- 1

ing essentially from the orthodox treat-ment, and after the war ehe applied itwith remarkable success to cases of in-fantile paralysis. Compelled by ill-healthto winter in .North Queensland, she hasconducted a clinic at Townsville, andthere she has secured results which haveastounded not only the patients andtheir friends, but medical experts aswell.

Dr. Guinane, a distinguished special-ist, well known in Sydney, was sent toEurope by the Queensland Governmentto investigate the most modern methodof dealing with infantile paralysis, andafter his return he reported that thesystem of treatment followed by SisterKenny at Townsville appeared to pro-duce remarkable results and was cer-tainly original in character.

Dr. Cotter, another recognised autho-rity, has stated that Nurse Kenny'smethod represents "a 100 per centadvance" on all other methods. FinallySir Raphael Cilento, the expert ontropical diseases attached to the FederalHealth Department, .testified to theremarkable character of Nurse Kenny'sresults, and on his advice the Queens-land Government opened a special clinicat Townsville for nurses to be trainedby her.

But Sister Kenny ie, apparently ,quiteimpervious to considerations of personalprofit. She persists in her intention ofhanding over her method to the FederalHealth authorities on two principal con-ditions—that the treatment shall alwaysbe applied under the direction of quali-fied medical men, and that no chargeshall be made to any patient.

It is possible that Ministers have beenaroused from their officially non-com-mittal attitude by such a remarkableproof of disinterested public spirit; any-how, Mr. Hughes as Minister of Health,has taken up the matter with character-istic energy and enthusiasm. He hasseen Sister Kenny's films and confesseshimself amazed and delighted; and thisweek Dr. Earle Page, as acting PrimeMinister, is to consult with Mr. Hughesas head of the Federal Health Depart-ment, and decide what course shall betaken. Of course, it is conceivable thatthe value of Nurse Kenny's method hasbeen exaggerated. But the positiveassurance of the experts after their visitto Townsville, that "the same resultscould not be obtained by any othermethod in any other institution," hascertainly served to restore hope to many.homes and hearts.

AIR POLICEMEN.HESTON AERODROME.

WILL ENFORCE REGULATIONS

MAY DETAIN 'PLANES.

(Special Correspondent.—By Air Mail.)

LONDON, February 9.The British Air Ministry has appointed

the first aerial "traffic cop." Bya coincidence this now development inpolicing the air was announced on thesame day as the news from Australiathat the police had used an aeroplanefor the first time to arrest a man whohad fled to Bathurst Island.

The English aerial policeman hasduties more strictly connected withflying. He is Captain V. H. Baker, war-time pilot, and one of the best knowninstructional flyers in England, who hasbeen delegated "authoritative powers offlying control" at Heston aerodrome(Middlesex).

His powers will enable him to lock upanyone who breaks flying regulations,detain aeroplanes, and take whateversteps he considers necessary if he hearsof anyone who plans eome unusuallyfoolish etunt.

Heston has become so busy during thepast few months that a rigid system ofcontrol has been instituted during thebusiest hours. It will be Captain Baker'sduty now to see that the regulations arefollowed as rigidly as motor traffic lightsare obeyed. And should anyone disobeyhis commands or intend to do anything"likely to imperil the safety of aircraft,passengers or third parties," he can clapthem into whatever temporary gaol hecan find on the aerodrome.

"HINEMIHI."MAORI HOUSE.

MUST REMAIN IN ENGLAND.

LORD ONSLOW'S LETTER.

A recent article in the "Star" gavean account of the celebrated Maoricarved meeting-house called "Hinemilii,"which stood at Te Wairoa village, andwhich after the Tarawera eruption(1880) was purchased by the late LordOnslow, then Governor of New Zea-land. Lord Onslow took the house, or jthe principal carved slabs and other jtimbers to England, arid liad this partly-ruined wliare reconditioned and set up Ion his estate, where it has been an 'object of great interest to visitors.

Mr. H. Lundins, of Wellington, had 1made a suggestion that it might be pos- Jeible to obtain this relic of old Wairoafrom the Onslow family, and return jit to New Zealand as an historical jspecimen of Maori artcraft for the jDominion Museum. He wrote to a'friend in London, at whose suggestionthe High Commissioner, Sir James Parr,communicated with the present LordOnslow, placing the proposal before him,and asking whether there was a possi-,bility of the house being returned tothe country of its origin.

Mr. Lundius has now received thereply sent to the High Commissioner.Writing to Sir James Parr from RedCliff, Cockington, Torquay, under dateJanuary 29, Lord Onslow said: "I fearit would be quite impossible to complywith your request. The Maori House iin Gisborne is not my property, but !that of the trustees of the' entailedsettled estate. I am, therefore, but atenant for life. I do not think thetrustees could dispose of a portion ofthe settled estate by sale or otherwisewithout considerable legal difficulty, andI do not know whether they would be Idisposed to consider the matter. I

"As tenant for life, I should feel that Jit would be my duty to oppose any)deterioration of the amenities of theproperty I hold in trust for my succeseorand family such as M'ould be caused bythe removal of part of the settledestate."

"Hinemihi," one-time entertainmenthall of the Tuhourangi tribe, will there-fore continue to stand fast in LordOnslow's park.

MEMORIAL CHURCH.

ERECTION AT KAWHIA.

METHODIST CENTENARY.

MAORI CRAFTSMANSHIP,

Great interest is being taken by thepeople of the Kawhia township and dis-trict in the Methodist Centenary

j Memorial Church, the erection of whichis now nearing completion. Standing ona prominent site, it enhances the beautyof an already attractive landscape.

The work has been done almost en-tirely by Maori craftsmen and labourers,and will be a. permanent memorial not

I only to the centenary, but also to theability of Maori craftsmen.

The church is to be officially opened at 11a.m. next Tuesday. Te Puea Herangi andj Tarapipipi ("the kingmaker") will open

j the church and unveil the pulpit, and theRev. J. H. Haslam, president of theMethodist Conference, assisted by Rev.Tahupotiki Haddon, senior Maori super-intendent, will dedicate the church.

The church will contain some beautifulMaori carving of exceptional character,executed under the personal supervisionof Te Puea. at the Ngaruawahia pa. Thecentral design on the pulpit is the Maoriking's coat of arms. On the walls of thechurch are hung models of the great

I canoes Tainui and Aotea,, in which theancestors of the Waikato, King Country,and West Coast people came fromHawaiiki to New Zealand, and whichfound their final resting place at Kawhia,which is now called the "cradle," and

I sometimes the "nest" of these threej tribes.

CURATES AND CRINOLINES.

For the cause that lacks assistance,For the wrong that needs resistavce,For the ■future in the distance,And the good that icecan do.

"Croquet's a fright," said a young Irishlady in one of the Sommerville-Koss stories;"you'd be cooking a leg of mutton whileyou're waiting your turn." Perhaps so, butit is not to be condemned on that accountalone. After all, there have been games ofbilliards in which one player could prepare a

whole series of meals -while waiting for histurn, and what of tail-end batsmen who sit inpavilions while the Ilobbses and the Bradmansturn the long grnciousness of afternoon intoa scourge for bowlers'? No, the prejudiceagainst croquet does not arise from thisfeature, and since Auckland is witnessing thisweek a national croquet championship, gracedby the presence of the chairman of theEnglish Croquet Council and other Englishplayers, it is worth while considering thefeelings it arouses among the uninitiated andits standing among games. Lieutenant-Coloneldu Pre, our visitor, says it is "no longer agame of curates and crinolines." The remarkis perhaps a little unfortunate, for it may betaken to endorse a prevalent but unjust viewof curates. "There is something which excitescompassion in the very name of a curate,"said "Sydney Smith, but a less worthy sentimentis sometimes evoked. Yet all curates are notlike the rivals in the "Bab Ballad" or the heroof "The Private Secretary." They sweat inscrums and hit sixers. A citrate was once thebest fast-medium bowler in New Zealand. Andafter all, a bishop has to start as a curate.

Nevertheless croquet has suffered from itsassociation with curates and crinolines. Itcame into popularity in England in the middleof last century, and for some time was themost popular game with certain classes.For this crinolines were partly responsible.It was about the only game in the open airthat wearers of these extraordinary garmentscould play. Besides, those were days whenwoman was surrounded by an aura of defence-less fragility. It is said that croquet "wentout with the crinoline, but had to be revivedbecause of the need for a pastime that wasnot unduly strenuous, that placed no strainon the nervous system, and that was not over-weighted with rules." It certainly declinedgreatly in popularity, to be revived, withimproved implements and a more scientificform of play, in the middle 'nineties. Whatdid most to oust it was the arrival andextraordinary success of lawn tennis. It hasbeen said that lawn tennis was born on Englishcroquet lawns. The premier tennis club inthe world—the All-England at Wimbledon—

retains the word "croquet" in its title.The thought of croquet suggests Old

English vicarage or manor gardens, withsmooth lawns bordered by elms and oaks andcedars, and "groups under the dreaming gardentrees." It suggests, too—especially to thosewho know "Punch"—the absurd clothes of the'sixties and 'seventies. It seems to have been,

a leisurely, beautiful game. "And then," saysthe critic quoted above, "the people who arenever happy unless they are governing some-thing took hold of it, formed associations,passed rules, inaugurated championship, com-petitions—and ruined it," This explains hisprevious reference to a game .that imposed nonervous strain. Did it not? Croquet hasalways been known as a game trying to thetemper. The present game, one would say,imposes almost as much strain as golf. Thelawn is as true as a bowling green, the hoopsnarrower, the skill of the good player deadly."Execution on a good lawn has become soaccurate," says an authority, "that the resultof a match too often depends on the spin of acoin." Billiards gone to grass, say theirreverent. Surely, however, there is no needto grieve so much. Cricket in high places has'been "improved" almost out of recognition, butcricketers continue to enjoy themselves hugelyon village greens and colonial paddocks.Similarly, it is possible for the great mass ofthe obscure—who know nothing of "bisque"and "peeling" and "roquet"—to pitch croquethoops on any reasonably level patch of grassand get a deal of fun out of the game.

FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN.

It is a noble gift that Mr. and Mrs. "W. It.Wilson have made to the movement for helpingcrippled children. As the Mayor and LordNuffield said in their comments yesterday, itis not only the intrinsic value of "St.Leonards" that will impress the public, butthe fact thaf this gift entails the surrender ofa beautiful home lived in for many years.Most Auckland citizens' know or know of"St. Leonards," and it does not require muchimagination to conceive what it has meant toMr. and Mrs. Wilson. They have now handedover one of the finest homes in Auckland —

magnificently sited by the sea and standing

in spacious grounds—for the use of crippledchildren. It is a condition that an endowmentshould be created, and Lord Nuffield hasimmediately responded by giving an additional£10,000 for that purpose. With'these twoshining examples before them, the people ofNew Zealand should find no difficulty in raisingnot only sufficient money for this particularendowment, but what is required for a

national campaign to give all crippled childrenthe help they need. The case for these childrenwas wisely and eloquently expressed in our

: columns on Thursday by Miss GloriaI Rawlinson, the young Auckland poet, who isherself a conspicuous example of the abilityof the mind to rise superior to bodilyinfirmity. These needs are now known; amagnificent beginning of raising the necessaryfunds has been made; and what is nowrequired is the completion of the f'uiancialprovision and the organisation of reliefmeasures throughput the country..

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Shortening Childhood Days."To my mind the danger of our present

system of education is the feverish desire tohurry children through the primary schooland to place upon them greater mental bur-dens than they were meant to bear, therebydepriving them in part of that glorious heri-tage, a happy, healthy childhood," statedMr. C.

address wae strikingly demonstrated in theprompt delivery of a letter to a resident ofNew Plymouth the other day. It is 17 yearssince Mr. L. W. Oldridge lived at Timaru.and in the interim he has been at Wanganuiand Palinerston North. Yet a letter fromAustralia addressed simply as "Mr. L. W.Oldridge, Tiniaru, New Zealand," was de-livered to him at New Plymouth within 48hours of its receipt at Tiinaru.

American Scientists Leave.The party of American students, headed

by Miss Josephine Tilden, professor of botanyat the University of Minnesota, who havebeen studying marine and fresh-water plantlife in the Dominion, sail for America by theMariposa to-day, taking with them a largecollection of specimens. Miss Tilden statedyesterday that the study of seaweed was ofvital economic importance, as not only did alleea life depend on it, but it was itself animportant article of food in many countries,both for human beings am' for animals. .

Hottest Month on Record.The. Government meteorologist, Dr. E

Kidson, states that February wae the hottestmonth in the history of New Zealand, beingmarked by humid weather generally and heavyrain. The sunshine was below normal in mostof the eastern districts, but above it in thewest, and Hokitika had the remarkable recordof 270.2 houre of sunshine. There were nostorms of note during the month, but unstableconditions were shown by frequency of thun-derstorms and heavy local downpours, with,in some localities, local Hooding.

Olympic Games Training."Pressure should be brought to bear

right away to enable whatever New Zealandathletic team is chosen for the Olympic Gamesto obtain a full period of training in Berlin,"said Mr. Norman MeKenzie, representing theIlawke's Bay-Poverty Bay centre, at theannual conference of the amateur athleticcentre delegates at Wanganui last night(states a Press Association message). Mr.L. A. Tracy, hon. secretary: "What would youcall a full period?" Mr. MeKenzie: "At leastseven weeks." Mr. K. O. Johnson (Otago)supported Mr. McKenzie, and said it was im-possible for a New Zealand team to reachthe top of its form in two or throe weeksafter landing. If trials were to be held toselect the team, they should be fixed earlyin the season.

No Salvage.A spot near the intersection of Dee and

Spey Streets, Invercargill, was the scene ofan unfortunate accident shortly after sixo'clock on a recent evening, when a motorlorry proceeding south from the direction ofthe "wet" area lost portion of its cargo, awicker-cased receptacle which bounced on tothe street. The lorry driver pulled up withall possible speed, and was about to reclaimthe errant merchandise when n motor car,swinging round t'.ie corner, struck the jar,which exploded, sending frothy liquid andearthenware in all directions. An aroma ofhops pervaded the air, and the owners of carsin the vicinity had a busy time remuvin rtraces of the accident from the of theirvehicles.The "Other Cheek."

Laughter was heard in the Magistrate'sCourt, Wellington, on Saturday morning, andthe magistrate, Mr. W. F. Stihyell, could notwithold a smile, when William Tier, who hadbeen assaulted by Terence James Rose, aged32, a vulcaniser, on Friday, appeared with hiseye heavily bandaged to plead for leniencein Rose's sentence. Sub-Inspector Roach saidthat a traffic inspector .saw a man lying onthe ground in Egmont Street with a badlycut eyelid. Accused was standing over himin a threatening attitude, saying that hewould like to black his other eye. It ap-peared that the two men had been friends,but had had a quarrel some weeks previously,and Rose was getting mmik- revenge, "lit, isnot a bad sort of cobber,"' said Tier, as Rose;wae fined £1 and given seven days in whichto pay.Cumbersome Cargo.

The sailing of the motor vessel MargaretW. from Gisborne for Auckland yesterdayafternoon was delayed somewhat throughtrouble experienced in hoisting aboard the18-ton mechanical navvy which is being

returned to Auckland after having been usedfor road construction in this district (saysthe "Star" correspondent). It had been in-tended to ship the navvy in one piece, andwith that object in view the machine hadbeen towed to the wharf earlier in the week,UnV in itself being a long, arduous task.When an attempt was made to lift themachine on to the boat, it was found' toocumbersome to move safely with the hoistsat the working party's disposal. Conse-quently the machine had to be dismantled.This presented some difficulty, but the workwas ultimately accomplished, and the dif-ferent sections were placed aboard.Stock and Transport on East Coast.

Owing to the easier travelling conditionsfor motor lorries since the Waioeka Roadwas opened between Opotiki and G-isbome, fjitstock is now being sent to Gisbofne forslaughter, writes the 'Star's" Opotiki corres-pondent. Previously all the pigs, fat sheepand cattle were sent to the Waikato andAuckland. Practically all the fat cattle fromthe Opotiki district ie etill being sent toAuckland, sea transport being used for car-riage. As pigs and sheep are easier to handleon lorries, this method is being wholly usedfor cartage of pigs and fat sheep ' for ' boththe railhead at Taneatua and for transport to(iisborue. Hundreds of pigs have been sentto Gisborne during the last few months, andsmall numbers of lambs have also been for-warded. The journey to Gisborne only takesbetween four and five hours, and it is ex-pected that next year even larger numbers forfreezing purposes will be sent to the Kaitiworks at Gisborne.Tepid Baths for Wellington.

At a special meeting of the reserves com-mittee of the Wellington City Council, theproposed tepid baths for the city came up forconsideration. As a result a motion is to gobefore the council on March 14 recommendingthat an application be made to the Govern-ment Loans Board for sanction to borrow thesum of £30,000 for the purpose of tepid andslipper baths to be erected on a site to bearranged approximately in the centre of thecity. This decision scarcely means that topidbaths are to be erected. In the first place,the City Council is calling by advertisementon persons who object to the application going-forward to the Loans Board. They are tosubmit such objections in writing not laterthan March 13. The council will by thismeans ascertain in some measure the opposi-tion likely to be encountered in regard to theproposed loan, and similarly ,the objectionswhich may be lodged against the proposalwhen it reaches the Government Loans Board.Tt proposes to secure the loan by striking aspecial rate of 30-Uood in the £] on theunimproved value of all ratable property inthe 'city of Wellington;

Brilliant Meteor.From a number of the Auckland suburbs

people noticed shortly before nine o'clock lastevening a brilliant meteor travel across thesky at what appeared to be a low altitude.The flash of light attracted immediate atten-tion, and then the meteor sailed like a rocketat great speed until it disappeared. Therewas a final flash of light, but it was not sobright as the earlier one.

Onehunga Electors' Roll.The Onehunga district electors' roll,

which closed on Thursday, contains 4502names. The supplementary roll will close onApril 3. The total number of electors onboth rolls last year was 55.37. Tt is expectedthat about 50 ratepayers and their wives willbe added to the supplementary roll from thewestern portion of Mount Roskill, which hasbeen transferred to Onehunga as from March31. the end of the financial year. This shouldshow a considerable increase in the numberof electors eligible to vote at the municipalelection to be held on Wednesday, May 1.

Eggs for Jamaica.A suggestion that eggs should be ex-

ported from New Zealand to Jamaica wasmade at a meeting of the Sprcydon branchof the Xew Zealand Poultry Federation. Itwas stated by one of those present at themeeting that he had sold eggs in Jamaicafor 5/ and (>/ a dozen. The main supply camefrom Canada at famine prices. Aβ vesselsfrom Xew Zealand to England called at aJamaica port, he thought it would be pos-sible to land some eggs there, and obtain goodprices. The population was nearly 1,000,000.

Decorations Wasted."The parks committee will be rather dis-

nppointed that their display is wasted," saidthe Mayor, Mr. O. W. Hutchison, yesterday,epeaking at the civic welcome to Lord Nuf-field. He was referring to the fact that, astoo many people wanted to greet LordXiulield to be accommodated in the councilchamber, the welcome had to be changed tothe concert chamber—and it was the former

room that had been most tastefully decoratedin the guest's honour, while the latter wasbare, although filled with enthusiasm. TheMayor added that the fact that it had beenthus necessary to change the locale of thewelcome was a matter of congratulation toLord Nuffield, because it was the first timein \ ears that the room chosen had been too;small, while on previous occasions it had beenint.hor too large.

Honey and the Cyclists.Delivering a large can of honey to a well-

known lodging house in Christehureh, therepresentative of a supplying firm dropped thecontainer as he was taking it from his motorlorry. Honey soon smeared nearly half thestreet surface, reports a Christchurch daily.A cyclist carrying a patio of glass, proceedingmerrily up the street, performed an involun-tary and unattractive broadside. The wheelsof his machine went from under him, and thepane of glass went into pieces. In about aquarter of an hour seven cyeliste seeking topass the place came to grief. Finally a post-man mounted guard while the delivery manwent away and told the civic authoritiesabout it. Sand was spread over the honeyby council workmen, and the street was safeagain for the pedal pushers.

Byrd Expedition's Loss.Provision was made by the Byrd Expedi-

tion, in the event of the death of a memberof the party, to embalm the body in order toconvoy it back to America, and two beautifulcopper caskets were stored on the ships forthis purpose, writes the "Star's" Dunedincorrespondent. However, it was scon fit underthe circumstance.* of the death of Mr. Ivorliiigloff in Dunedin to cremate the body andeopvey only the ashes to the man's relativesin Boston. All members of the Byrd Expedi-tion paid final and pathetic homage to theironly lost comrade when he was cremated atAnderson"e Bay crematorium yesterday. Hewas given a military funeral, the coffin beingcovered with the Stars and Stripes. The ser-vice was conducted by the Rev. Allen Stevely,who earlier had had the happier duty ofmarrying another member of the expeditionupon its return from tba Antarctic not throeweeks ago.

Loose Decking Causes Trouble.Loose decking on the Xrurutmingi bridge,

between Inglewood and Stratford, was respon-sible for an unpleasant experience thi't befella party of bowlers en route to Xew Plymouthfrom Stratford on Saturday, reports the"Taranaki N'nvs." A car driven by Mr. P.Douglass, Xew Plymouth, was just leavingthe bridpe when a'piece ~f loose dec-king 2ftlong, lipped up by the weight of the cur, waspropelled by the right rr;\r wheel between thewheel and the mudguard, where it becamelodged momentarily. The passengers- in therear scat were thrown up against the hoodas the car dragged for 50ft or (iOft. The rearwheels and the brake became locked, but thedriver controlled the vehicle well under thecirctiiuetancee. Fortunately, after 20ft, theobstruction became dislodged, and the car ranon and came to a standstill. The differentialwas thrown ljin out of alignment, the mud-guard bracket twisted, and the tyres badlydamaged.

Maori's Frozen Eel Proposal.An application for £00 was received

from a Maori at Little River by the DisabledSoldiers" Civil Re-establishment Committeerecently to enable him to send a trial ship-ment of two tons of frozen eels to England.After receiving reports from Mr. W. E. Lead-ley it was decided to decline the application,as it wa<3 considered that the proposition didnot seem to be a, lucrative one. Mr. Lendleysaid that there was an abundant supply ofeels at Lake Forsytb, over which the .Maorishad lights. The applicant considered that ifhe could send a trial shipment he would re-ceive (id a lb, and might start a new industry.The difficulty seemed to be that the shippingcompanies could not take eels with otherfrozen cargo. Further, a new industry badstarted some years aero at Oreytown, wherethe eels were canned. Mr. teadley statedthat he had written to the manager of thecompany asking if he could give an idea ofwhat price eels would realise in London, andwhether he thought the proposition wouldpay. He had replied that the shipment wouldbe a failure, as the price obtained would notrecompense the cost incurred. It was alsopointed out that the frozen eels would lose80 per cent of their food value.

Mystery of the Lost Tribe.One of the most interesting stories of

early Xew Zealand concerns what is knownas "the lost tribe," mention of which is madeby a writer in "Touring." The Maori wasnaturally a lover of the sun, and sought thoseportions of the country for his home whichprovided sunshine and warmth in abundance.It is surprising, therefore, to learn that Cap-tain Cook, during oiie of his earliest voyagesto New- Zealand, found several Maori familiesliving in the Dusky Sound area, in the farsouth-west. Clothed in dense forest, andswept in winter by fierce storms, this countryie just about the last place one would haveexpected the warmth-loving Maori to choose,yet here Cook found them, a shaggy, wildand primitive-looking tribe, living in rudehuts made of branches. Later explorers alsofound traces of this wild region being in-habited by Maoris, but the mystery of theirorigin has never been solved. The only deduc-tion that seems to lit the case is that theybelonged to a tribe which was so harassed byinter-tribal warfare in the more favouredparts of the island that they were forced toseek refuge in the wilds of fiord hind, wheretheir fate remains buried in, the impenetrableforests and gorges.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

POINTS FROM THE PRESS.

MORE POPULATION WANTEDThis country could comfortably carry

fifteen million inhabitants, but possibly tenmillions could live at a higher standard thanwe live to-day. As a more modest beginning,however, we might aspire to a population offive millions, and this total should be reachedin the shortest possible time. By naturalincrease our population, at the present rate,will not double under 40 years.- Assumingsuch a rate of increase to be a continuing one,

!it would take about (i.~> years—that is, tillthe year 2000 A.D.—before our populationreached five millions. There is, however, somedoubt whether we will maintain our presentnatural rate of increase. New Zealand needsa greater population and needs it earlier thanour excess of births over deaths will supplyit. To gain rapidly we require a scientificsystem of immigration. Is it beyond thescope of our statesmanship to absorb r>o.oooimmigrants a year? America once absorbeda million a year. A greater population wouldbring many advantages. Economically, oneof the greatest would be the lightening of ourenormous debt burden, both national and localbody. Racially we would have a more justclaim—and more strength—to hold a whiteNew Zealand. Culturally, a population of fivemillions would enable us to develop the intel-lectual side of life to a degree impossible incur present sparsely-settled state. HieDominion's first need it? a proper realisationof the dangers of our present situation. Wemust come to comprehend the vital necessityof increasing our population. The bogy ofunemployment must not frighten us. We mustthink, correctly so, of every new inhabitantas an additional consumer, with wants to be.supplied, and the supplying of those wants asuiving employment. We need a population oflive millions!—"Manawatu Daily Times."

SALES TAX UNFAIR.The sales tax ir>, in its incidence, an unfair

tax, because there is no assurance that it willbe borne by those whom it is intended shouldbear it. namely, the consumers. Further, thepayer of the tax is paying out his capitaland has no certainty that he will recoup him-self in a reasonable time. The seller of slow-moving lines of commerce pays relatively morethan the seller of those goods which enjoy aquick turnover. Further, the fortunate orefficient business pays less through loss ofinterest than does the unfortunate and ineffi-cient business. It is a certain fact that manya business is in part unfortunate, and themisfortune creates the inefficiency; it is noteasy to draw the line of demarcation. Thesales tax therefore falls with unequal weight.It is more onerous on a business which makesa mistake in its buying. A line of poods pur-chased with the idea of selling quickly may,on being placed on the market, find no readysale and have to be jobbed oIT at a loss. Thesales tax thereupon enlarges the loss. Theremay be no negligence on" the part of thebuyer of such goods. For instance, springmillinery may be unsaleable, though whollydesirable, eimply because the early part ofthe spring has too much dull and rainyweather. These are the vicissitudes of trade,of course, hut they should not be added tobv the Treasury, unless under dire necessity.When such necessity passes tV> added andunequal burdens should lirst be lifted;—

"Wanganui Chronicle."

EVEN A TOY NAVY HELPS.A medley like Lewis Carroll's "i?.hoe3 and

ships and sealing wax, and cabbages andkings" is presented to the mind in an inter-view in which a Scottish visitor tells us some-thing about the Navy, the Air Force, and NewZealand's inability to persuade Australia totake potatoes in exchange for oranges. Hesays that we can save half a million by"sending our toy navy Home," as the onlypurpose it serves is a social one. That is notcorrect. Included in the half-million whichnaval defence is now costing us is £100,000 ofthe promised contribution of a million poundsfor the Singapore Base. Another £30,(!14 isdebt charges on the battle cruiser N»w Zea-land, presented to Britain in iflOO. Thenagain, it is not correct to say that the NewZealand Division of the Royal Navy hasmerely a social value. Up to last March 701Xcw Zealand youths hud entered .the Navy.The [Hiy does not appeal to colonial boye, butit is n healthy, happy life, better thanlounging in too great comfort at home. Andif we sent this toy navy Home and the liillwith it—Great Britain would only send itback again, for nothing in the wide worldsymbolises the integrity of the British raceand its prestige among the nations like thesight of a businesslike warohip. In fact, ifwe could become a little more Olympian underthe stimulus of the tradition that vessels ofthe Navy stand for, we would have less difli-culty in ironing out the little differences asso-ciated with the consumption of oranges andpotatoes. But human nature is so frail thata handful of Tasmanian potato growers canintimidate the Prime Minister of the Com-monwealth with threats of lire and politicalslaughter. On a larger scale a similar"racket" is at work in England.- ostensiblyin the interests of British agriculture. Thevenerable Navy helps us all to remember thatself-seeking stratagems that ignore the nation-building aspects of inter-Imperial tra;i» arcunworthy of the traditions of the race.—"Christchurch Star."

THE ABYSSINIAN LURE

The war cloud on the Abyssinian frontiergrows darker. The truth is, Italy requiresnew colonisation Melds for her rapidly increas-ing population. Owing to vvant of iron andcoal she cannot develop into an importantmanufacturing country. There is already alarge Italian emigration to the United States,South ' oerica and other countries, but Mus-solini would naturally like to see this surpluspopulation diverted to a country under IheItalian flag; hence the envious eyes which hisGovernment has always cast on Abyssinia.Owing to heat and aridity, the coastal landsacquired in that neighbourhood have littlevalue for colonisation purposes, but the inlandplateau of Abyssinia is fertile, well watered,and possesses an ideal climate for the Euro-pean. A friend of the writer, who has visitedthe country, describes it as a veritableundeveloped paradise. The original home ofthe coffee plant is not Arabia, as many sup-pose, but Abyssinia. Indeed, it is said toderive its name from the province of Kaffa inthat country, where it may still be foundgrowing wild. To a coffee-drinking people likethe Italians, this fact alone is of great value.

The Italian colony of Eritrea is in greatpart composed of territory formerly claimedl)y Abyssinia. In 1594 the Italian general,Baratieri, even occupied the fertile district ofKassala, now included in the Anglo-EgyptianSudan. In IS9(>, however, he was defeatedwith heavy loss by the Abyssinians nearAdowa, and thereafter Italy acknowledgedthe independence of the country. But mat-ters have changed since, then. Aeroplanes hadnot come into use at the time of Baratieri'sexpedition; Italy now relies on this new armto play an important part in military opera-tions, though Abyssinia also possesses a smallair force. Great Britain, France and Italy allpossess territory bordering on Abyssinia, andany attempt on the part of, Mussolini'sGovernment to occupy the country wouldprobably result in International complications.

THE PASSING SHOW.

(By THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.)

A dog's pal calls to tell present modestowner of a mongrel that he has had three kuri

killed by street traffic and that every driverwho did the. deed hated

KURI CLASSES, to have been the means.Most doge, he said, are

fools in traffic-hang about in an irritatingway and cause drivers" to almost die of heartdisease trying to avoid them. He has anotherdo" now, and he is trying to inculcate in hima traffic sense. Already he dives for the kerb"like a scalded cat" when he hears a hoot.

Almost ho persuades one to beseech the autho-rities to have classes for dogs. Dogs arealmost the only animals that have the begin-ning of brains. It is pointed oift by doggistsand motorists that dog,* appear to belong tosuicide clubs, cows are unquestionably men-tally blind and deaf, and poultry anxiousalways to earn compensation for their owners.Cats" are "on their own." As a rule a catis a calm, insolent, unperturbed creature, butcrossing a road on which there ie traffic heneeds no hoot to set him streaking for thedistant skyline. He doesn't stalk or steal—he scoots; but a dog so loves man that hecan't think" any decent fellow will run overhim—and no decent fellow willingly commitskuricide. Individual training in traffic avoid-ance for dogs seems a good notion. There areseveral thousand local dogs to begin classeswith.

PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK

From little acorns do great oak treesgrow. Nuffield is a email parisji in Oxford-shire, nine miles from Reading. A little Eng-

lish acorn named WilliamNO. 472. Mollis grew there. Nuffield

has only two hundred andfifty people even now, but William Morriscut" out to be a Person—there is a difference.He was always a revolutionist—anything thatrevolved intrigued him—hence his addiction tobikes and his stupendous place in the motorworld. Of course, Lord Nuffield is inspirational.You see him wholly pleasant. He must havedynamic moments. Note the almost uniquelines of his forehead. They break and dip inthe centre—extremely rare and seen only inalmost unique persons. Mind you, a mancan't help having brains, and Lord Nuffielddoesn't care whether you prnise him or not.He's done what his brains, his physical staminaand his longings told him to do—and thereyou * are. No, one isn't writing about themotor trade—it is well written about. Thisgreat motor man, this originator, this modestgentleman, loves children. He has no childrenof his own—and he has seen thousands ofchildren that needed help. He has helpedthem, and God bless him for it. No gestureever made on behalf of New Zealand has.exceeded in simplicity, modesty or nicenesshis great gift to the crippled children of thiscountry. It k all-embracing in its homely,domestic and Empire appeal.

Perfect poise is an attribute of the culti-vated. The Maori rangatira has it in largesupply, the aristocrat of any kind frequently

jwssesses it, but even hePOISE. after dinner has been

known to pile his foldednapkin on top of tllOibrend roll, or balance afork on the summit of the nearest carafe.The public school, basing its communal poiseon the nonchalance of repeated series of boys,μ-ives us the finest example of unawareness.Eton boys will pass other Eton boys withoutappearing to know that there arc Etoniansin existence. Harrow boys seem never to haveheard of Harrow on passing Harrovians. Itis excellent to be able to stroll past someoneone has known since boyhood without seeinghim. These little thoughts obtruded as onewitnessed a remarkable exhibition of unaware-ness in a gentleman walking along the foot-path in Queen Street. As he passed one ofthe nicest shops in Australasia he removedhis lower denture, gazed fondly at it, and ata smart pace resumed it with a click. Theaverage uncultured man would have been too■shy ti> make such a gesture. He would havefelt that the crowd on the pavement wouldregard him with astonishment, or even amuse-ment. ITi> would have hesitated to removehis denture and to gnze at it fondly until hewas in the privacy of his dormitory or othersuitable hermitage. One visualised an exten-sion of this human detachment. There are soninny wooden-legged men who could detachtheir false understandings and wave them atthe crowd. If the hundreds of people wearinga glass eve occasionally removed thorn incrowded places and polished them with a cleanhanky—what examples of perfect poise! Onenoted that the man N with the detachabledenture looked hard at a pile of splendidapples in a shop as he parsed.

The modern mechanician, attired immacu-lately in excellently-tailored garments, exud-ing the faint aronui of a recent bath and with

his fingers (used forTHIS groping among sullied

CLEANLINESS, machinery) perfectlymanicured, sought the peg

whereon used to hang his working clothes.They were not there. Ho remarked that someruddy rascal had pinched them. He didn'tknow why anybody should pinch a shirt wornblack with work around the turn, or get awaywith a jazz jumper torn into holes and smellingof oil. He found hie garments, of course, butthe incident gave rise to a rapid confab aboutthe change that has happened in the sartorialand hygienic world since father was a boy.One mechanic, noted for the cut of his clothes,the spotlessness of his collars and his impec-cable shoee, remarked that in his youth youcould "smell" the trade a man belonged to.even when he was off duty. You can smellmen of all professions and calibres nowadaysand not pick their trades. An off-duty car-penter smells as sweet as an on-duty doctor.A plumber momentarily unpluinbed emits nomore dreadful odour than a barrister. Theyare frequently indistinguishable one from theother. In short, self-respect lias increased ahundred per cent —and scented soap has becomesuch a necessity that politicians themselvesnot only use it but bathe daily. It wasrecalled' that '■'the office towel," a thing ofmany summers, once fell down and broke. Itwas also recollected that a train travelleronce complained of the dirty communal towelin the washplarc. the indignant trainmanremarking. -Hundreds of blokes has used thattowel and ydu're the first one to complain."

IN THE PUBLIC MIND.DOMAIN ALTERATIONS

PROPOSED' NEW ROAD

(To the Editor.)

In that useful official handbook, "How OurCity Stands," issued by the City Council,appears, buried up amidst much other matterof import, a brief paragraph anent "Auckland'Domain" (page 31). This succinctly sets forththe-fact that the recently-formulated "com-prehensive plan for the future developmentof the Domain" is "now completed and awaitspresentation to the council." In that plan isretained all the roading features so stronglycondemned by recently-expressed publicopinion. That being so, before the councilfurther proceeds with that plan it should dropaltogether the proposed roading. ■ By the road-way nothing but a traffic route is intendedthrough the Auckland Domain. Since therecent public condemnation of that roadingscheme (and several other features of thatplan) there has been much justifiable agita-tion against the traffic noises in the vicinityof the Public Hospital. The roading intendedwill certainly tend to aggravate that nuisanceand create further distress to hospital inmates.For this reason alone, the idea of furtherroading within the Domain must beabandoned. GEO. GRAHAM.

HOSPITAL BOARD AND THE NEEDY.

Replying to "Ratepayer's" letter re theHospital Board's treatment of destitute casesin sickness, I would just like to quote tiefollowing: My wife was recently dischargedfrom the Public Hospital after receivingequivalent attention to the (shall I say?)paying guests. I myself during the past fouryears have had the same treatment (both asan out-patient and in-patient). My childrenhave had treatment, and two of them wereborn free at the St. Helens nursing home, andthrough being unemployed I have had- myaccounts filed. The Unemployment Board hasprovided me with food and shelter for the lastfour years, and sometimes I eke out a littlepleasure for my wife and family. When firstmarried I was a member of a benefit friendlysociety and had other systems and hopes ofprudence and forethought. However, these,like many other incidents, had to elide whenthe pocket dwindled until—well, you just pro-cure what you can. Considering that the Hos- <pital Board catered for the relief worker andfamily one week in four for a considerableperiod, in addition to their own specific cases,when to my mind it was a responsibilityshirked by the Unemployment Board, I thinkit is high time that some of the "extras" weretaken away from the board, so that theycould carry on as they ought to; that is, tohelp the sick and needy. Let us speed on thelately-talked of insurance health scheme, notonly for relief workers, but for every workingman and woman in the country.

THIRTY-TWO.

THE CHILDREN'S DEMONSTRATION.

On a monster demon-stration of all pupils in the primary andsecondary schools was held in "the Domain.The notice announced that they were expectedto be there, and the time was stated. Thenotice did not add what they" might expect tosee and hear when they got there. As onewho was in charge of a good number of child-ren I can say quite safely that none nearwhere I was could see or hear anything. Thechildren were packed in a"dense mass on levelground, and in consequence they could notsee the Governor-General or Lady Bledisloe.Whoever were responsible for thearrangementscannot have given the matter full considera-tion, for it must ihave been clear that thechildren, except in some fortunate situationsposeibly. could not see over the next child'shead; and a voice will not carry into a densemass. The broadcasting arrangements werenot notably good. If the children had beenarranged in a large hollow square with a lanedown each line, the happy result would havebeen achieved of the "pupils seeing his Excel-lency and Lady Ble.lisloe. and both his Excel-lency and Lady Bledisloe are well known fortheir interest in children. The oratorical dip«-play, excluding his Excellency's speech, wasboth unnecessary and uncalled for; a few well-chosen words, briefly and happily spoken,would surely have been ample. In the past,children's or pupils' nines demonstrations havebeen admirably arranged and with the hap-piest of results. Let those who bring thesedemonstrations about give more thought tothe children: NEMO.

THE CASE AGAINST FLOGGING.

Your correspondent C. Hamilton Fraserstates: "In general let there be more intelli-gent discernment shown in discriminatingbetween typeu of all offenders, their propin-quity in prison and the nature of theirimprisonment." With this we agree. If yourcorrespondent really honoured these preceptsmuch of the letter'signed G. Hamilton Fraserwould not have been written. In the firstplace, the statement that evidence for floggingexists because we have girl babes of .5 and 41criminally hurt is quite illogical. It surely iebased on the assumption that flogging is neces-sary and the correct treatment, neither ofwhich has been proved true. Then almostimmediately your correspondent states thatsuch offenders should be segregated and medi-cally treated. Again, the writer submits asevidence that '"after a careful study of thesecases in New Zealand these past ten years !am convinced that a very large number indeedare due to sheer self-indulgence, a deliberate,gro&s brute egotism." Can your correspondentstate why there should be "'sheer self-indulgence"? Is it due to lack of intelligence,unstable emotional life, lack of self-control. ,or the influence of a bad environment or some-thing else? Wo are unaware of the nature ofthe study your correspondent has been abl'-to make of sexual offenders in Xow Zealand.and therefore cannot evaluate the conclusion,'

ho offers us. We can, however, quote a well-known worker nmony prisoners in New Zea-land, Miss B. E. Bauglian, who stated i» aletter to the "Star," 2G/2/35 : "An Kng'-isliinquiry some years ago made clear the factthat such offenders are in the great majorityof cases mentally abnormal; while in XetvZealand I have met prisoner after prisonerguilty of offences against children under 1-and cannot recall one who was mentally nor-ma!—most of them, in fa;'t. were obviouslyfeeble-minded." In view of these fects, wouldyour correspondent still advocitte flouring forthese offenders? As for the contention thatflogging would be a decided deterrent, «"•

CHAOS IN GREECE.ATHENS' PERIL.

INSURGENTS' THREAT.

Bombardment If MinistryDoes Not Resign.

VENIZELOS WOUNDED

(United PA.-Electric Telegraph-Copyright)

(Received 11.30 a.m.)LONDON, March 8.

A message from Bucharest statesthat all Greek sailors of military agein Rumanian ports have been orderedto return to Athens.

A message from Athens states thatthe Yugoslav steamer Vitsovar inter-cepted a wireless announcement to theeffect that a destroyer is taking Venize-los, the noted Greek statesman and aleader in the rebellion, to Alexandriaseriously wounded.

A special correspondent of the "DailyExpress," telegraphing from the Yugo-slav frontier after staying in Athens,says tho Greek capital is threatenedwith bombardment and the monarchymay be restored.

The rebels of the fleet have becomepirates. They captured two Greekcargo vessels in order to obtain supplies.

Admiral Demestichas has issued an■ultimatum to the effect that unless thePremier,, M. Tsaldaris, resigns and handsover power to the Venizelists the fleet•will bombard Athens.

This threat has thrown the Govern-ment and the population of the capitalinto a panic. The situation is so badthat the Government is discussing arestoration of the monarchy in order" toquieten Greece.

Tho difficulty is, as to who can beasked to be King. Ex-King George isnow 5n India, the guest of the Viceroy,and Prince Nicholas, father of theDuchess of Kent, is elderly and not inthe best of health.

The correspondent says he foundAthens quivering with fear' and businessat a standstill.

In spite of snow more than a footdeep the Government troops have madea slight advance in Eastern Macedoniaagainst the rebels, who are anxiouslyawaiting reinforcements from Crete.

Struma River has overflowed and isflooding the adjacent districts. Foreignvessels may use the harbour under pilot-age to avoid minefields.

The rebels are out of hand and havebegun looting several villages. Also theylave greatly damaged the tobacco crops.

The rebel fleet has seized the islandsof Mitylene, Samos and Chios.

The Government has warned all ship-ping to obey orders instantly, otherwisethey will be fired upon. The Govern-ment also denies the allegations that itintends to return to nionarcliism, andadds that Republicanism is onlyendangered by M. Venizelos' partisans.

The Chios and Syra branches of theBank of Greece have been destroyed and£300,000 worth of bank notes taken to

prevent rebels securing them.

(British Official Wireless.)(Received 10 a.m.)

RUGBY, March 8.The President of the Board of Trade,

Mr. Walter Runciman, informed theHouse of Commons that negotiationswith the visiting Brazilian financialmission in regard to the liquidation ofBrazilian frozen trade debts to theUnited Kingdom had resulted in theformulation of certain proposals whichthe Brazilian Minister of Finance hadundertaken to place before his Govern-ment. It was hoped the agreementwould be signed in the course of thenext four weeks.

As regards current trade, theBrazilian Government had provided bylaw that the exchange required to payfor goods imported after February 11,1935, could be bought freely on themarket. Accordingly no further arrearsdue to exchange restrictions in respectof imports should arise.

The " Brazilian Government wouldmaintain payments under the Com-mercial Arrears Agreement of 1933, andthe payment of public debt service inaccordance witli the plan of February,1934, by retaining a percentage offoreign exchange resulting from allexports. The British Government madeit clear that it had every desire to seetrade between Britain and Brazil developon a basis mutually beneficial to theexchange of goods and services.

BALKAN PEACE.IN GRAVE DANGER.

Possible Repercussions fromGreek Revolt

LEAGUE ACTION URGED,

(United P.A.-Electric Telegraph-Copyright)

(Received 12 noon.)

LONDON, March 8.Following the Note from Bulgaria,

drawing the attention of the Leagueof Nations to the concentration ofTurkish troops on the frontier, theGreek Minister at Geneva has drawnattention of the League to the graveclanger to Balkan peace caused bythe concentration of Bulgarian troopson the frontier. It is feared thatBulgaria may support the Greekrebels.

The "News-Chronicle," in a leader,urges the prompt summoning of theLeague Council to promote the mainten-ance of peace between Turkey andGreece.

An Istanbul message says the TurkishGovernment maintains impartiality inthe Greek revolt, refusing to take sides,though watching the Bulgarian attitude.

The Turkish Minister at Genevareiterates Ins country's pacific inten-tions. He says he fails to understandthe allegations of M. Antonoff, theBulgarian delegate at Geneva, regardingTurkish frontier troop concentrations.He explains that the only troop activi-ties are those of recruits undergoingtraining. The policy of Turkey in theBalkan Entente is the absolute mainten-ance of the status quo.

This has greatly eased the situation.M. Antonoff now declares that Bulgariadoes not doubt Turkey's pacific inten-tions.

A Sofia message states that withKing Boris presiding, the War Councilagreed to take measures to preventTurkish propaganda among BulgarianMoslems.

"The Times" Istanbul correspondentstates that the Yavuz, formerly theGocben, and other warships havedeparted for the Dardanelles to protectthe islands adjacent to Turkey.

PRIMATE ARRESTED.

Catholic Archbishop inMexico.

EELIGIOUS PERSECUTION?

(Received 12 noon.)MEXICO CITY, March 8.

The private secretary to ArchbishopPascual Diaz, Roman Catholic Primateof Mexico, said that the Archbishopwas arrested on Thursday while en routeto the town of Tlaneplantla, in theMexico Federal district. The secretaryadded that he was unable to determinethe Primate's whereabouts or to learnfurther details.

Government officials have issued astatement that Archbishop Diaz is heldin custody charged with violation of thereligious laws.

"PERSECUTION."

PLIGHT OF CATHOLICS

"The arrest of Archbishop Diaz isonly another instance of the prolonged'religious persecution in Mexico," saidFather P. T. ii. McKeefry, secretary toBishop Liston, when the cable was readto him this morning.

"Mexico is nominally a RomanCatholic country," he continued, "butthe policy of the Government for thelast few years has been to establish aCommunistic regime under a militarydictatorship and reduce the country tostate of atheism. So-called religiouslaws have been brought into force sothat practically every minister ofreligion is liable to persecution.

"The wearing of clerical garb is for-bidden, except in the churches. No onebut Mexicans can officiate at religiousceremonies, and every minister must belicensed. The districts in which theselicenses operate are limited, generallyaccording to the population—one minis-ter' to every 20,000, or even 50,000people. Worship is forbidden in publicplaces, and this law is twisted roundto include places where the worshippersare visible from the road.

"A tragic incident occurred recentlywhen a number of people were worship-ping at a shrine on private property. Ithappened to be visible from a road andthe congregation was promptly bombedby the Government troops. Severalpeople were killed and the priests whoescaped were arrested.

"Another and terrible method of in-stilling the new doctrines into the mindsof, the children of Mexico is by sexualinstruction in the schools. The sanctityof the body is forgotten. In spite ofvehement protests by the RomanCatholics and the great majority of thepopulation these sacriligious exhibitionsare still in force."

AMERICAN OFFICIALS.

Unusually Strong Language bySenator Long.

GENERAL JOHNSON ATTACKED.

(Received 9.30 a.m.)

WASHINGTON, March 8,

In answer to charges against himmade recently by General Hugh John-son, the former N.R.A. chief, SenatorH. P. Long (Democrat, Louisiana),delivered a 45 minutes' radio addressover the nation-wide network lastevening, viciously attacking GeneralJohnson, the Roosevelt Administra-tion and his critics generally.

In recent months Mr. Long's multi-farious political activities have broughthim into much prominence as a poten-tial Presidential candidate in 1930 on anultra-Radical platform.

General Johnson had charged Mr.Long and Father Charles Coughlin, ofDetroit, the "radio priest," with beingdangerous demagogues who, he said,were trying to stir the "lunatic fringe"into revolution.

Last evening Mr. Long nnswered inkind. He called General Johnson an"erstwhile prince of a deranged alpha-bet." He grouped General Johnson

with Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. J. x\. Farley,Postmaster-General, and "all theirspoilers and spellbinders" as influencedby Wall Street and operating againstthe interests of the poor.

In unusually strong language Mr.Long criticised the Roosevelt Adminis-tration, saying: "The trouble in thattheir schemes and 'isms' failed. Underthe 'new deal' the rich have becomericher and the poor poorer."

Mr. Long estimated that 4 per centof the people owned 85 to !)0 per centof the wealth of the country and about75 per cent did not own anything. Themiddle class had been all but liqui-dated.

The speaker's solution was a sharewealth plan, whereby all citizens wouldbe guaranteed a decent existencethrough the progressive taxation oflarge fortunes.

WORLD ACTION.FOR STABILITY.ON BASIS OF GOLD.

Economic and MonetaryProblems.

CONFERENCE FINDINGS

(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

(Received 12 noon.)LONDON, March 8.

An international conference washeld on economic and monetary prob-lems, attended by 63 representativesfrom Britain, Belgium, France, Ger-many, Italy, ' Holland, Norway,Sweden, Canada and the UnitedStates, over which Lord Crewe andSir Austen Chamberlain presided.

It was recommended that leadingGovernments, especially France, Britainand America, should consult, with avi?w to the provisional stabilisation ofexchange on the basis of gold and thepreliminary establishment of a stableworld gold standard.

It was also urged that Britain andAmerica, the greatest creditor nations,should consult together and with OtherGovernments to enable debtors to meettheir obligations in goods services.

A Paris message says that owing todepreciation of sterling the Governmentis studying a proposal to restore theexchange compensation surtax when theFranco-British treaty expires on March31. It is authoritatively stated thatthe Government will exercise the utmostcircumspection on the question unlessthere is a further serious fall.

British Exchange Equalisation.In the House of Commons Mr. D. M.

Mason (Lib., Edinburgh East) raisedthe question of the fall of sterling. Heexpressed the opinion that the poundwould continue to fall until the Govern-ment reversed its policy and the Bankof England contracted its note issue.

Dr. C. Addison (Lai)., Swindon) askedfor information concerning' the £3.50,-000,000 equalisation fund.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr.Neville Chamberlain, said the exchangeequalisation fund was never used orintended to be used for the purpose ofdeliberately forcing sterling up or down.It was used to smooth out irregularitiesin currency values.

The change in the external value ofthe pound was not related to anythingwhich had taken place in Britain.There was absolutely nothing in theposition which need give a moment'suneasiness.

The internal value of the pound wasunshaken. It would buy the sameamount of goods now as three yearsago. It was very different with gold, ,which fluctuated considerably.

"As for us attempting, in these cir-cumstances, to try to stabilise our cur-rency on gold," said the Chancellor, "itis clearly impossible. On either side ofus there is the franc and the dollar.Both are anchored to gold. Each has noeconomic relation to tlic other.

"Both France and America hadenormous hoards of gold, which gavethem a dominating position in operatingthe gold standard. At present we arenot in a position to risk putting thepound at the mercy either of the francor of the dollar. Some day we and othercountries, in all probability, will goback to an international gold standard,but we are not prepared to take a stepto put England back until we can seeconditions so favourable that, havingreturned to the gold standard, we canbe pretty certain to remain there."

SPEED THRILL.CAMPBELL'S RECORD.

Car Dashes Past Like CyclonicDust-Storm.

DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN,

(United P.A.—Electric Teiegrapn—Copyright)

(Received 9.30 a.m.)DAYTONA BEACH, March 8.

Sir Malcolm Campbell, besidesbreaking his own world record, alsobroke three other world's speedrecords yesterday. In addition tothe mile record he averaged 276.160miles Jan hour for one kilometre,268.474 miles an hour for five kilo-metres, and 251.396 miles an hour forfive miles.

It was an unexpected sortie after alast minute decision to wait no longerfor the sands to become smooth to thestate of perfection the motorist needed.Sir Malcolm, however, is dissatisfiedwith what he considered a poor showingand has decided to remain until late inMarch in the hope of securing a flawlesscourse.

Fifty thousand people lined the courseand cheered Sir Malcolm is he sped past.The run was as dangerous as any hehas ever made here. The smooth rubbersurface of all the six tyres on the carwas literally burned away and thecasings hung in shreds like strips oftorn burlap. Parts were within twoplys of the inner tubes.

"The run down was splendid," said SirMalcolm, "but Coming back was asimply terrible beach. Although the sixmiles stretch at the south end was veryrough I had to get up speed then, so Isimply trod her down to the floor andheld on.

Feel the Tyres Going."I could feel the tyres going, but I

was all right until just after I left themeasured mile. Then I hit a huge bumpand the wheels were wrenched over. Ithought I had gone. It was terrificallyclose, but just as the left wheels gotwhere they seemed to be touchiiig thesoft sands they came back and every-thing was all right. I hurt both mywrists in pulling the car back."

Before Lady Campbell would allowSir Malcolm to make the run she droveover the course in an "ordinary motorcar at 80 miles an hour. Then, satisfiedthat it was in good condition, she gaveher husband the signal to start.

The Bluebird, completely repaired andoverhauled, started on the southwardrun over the 12-mile course on hardwhite sand marked by a black oil stripe.It flashed past the racing tower like aoyclonic dust-storm. Only a Avail ofdust raised by the flat-beaked Bluebirdcould be seen by the spectators and thethrum of the 2r>oo horse-power motorswas all that could be heard. •

Although pleased with the secondeffort Lady Campbell indicated that itwas below the mark her husband hadhoped to set.

PEPPER "CORNER."

Speculation Brings Failure toLarge Firms,

DEBATE IN COMMONS,

LONDON, March 8In the House of Commons yester-

day, Mr. E. C. Grenfell (Con., Cityof London) moved the reduction ofthe civil vote, in order to directattention to recent speculations inpepper, shellac and tin. He saidthey included spicy elements, stickyepisodes, and glittering pages ofreckless exploits.

The alarm over the recent affair, whichled to the failure of several solid andrespectable firriis, was not confined toEngland, said Mr. Grenfell. The foreignPress had readily printed the news ofit, and this had created the impressionabroad that sonic English Staviskyaffair had been unearthed, which wasexceedingly bad for Britain's reputa-tion.

Those who took part in theattempted pepper corner thought anincrease in the retail price of one half-penny an ounce would be negligibleto the consumer, but it would havemeant a profit of £1,500,000 to them,which was not to be sneezed at.(Laughter.)

Mr. Grenfell said that Britain wasthe world's largest consumer of pepper.Her stocks multiplied 10 times in 1934,compared with 1932. The corner failedowing to the world's enormous pepperharvest. It was well known that peoplewho speculated in pepper had alsodealt in shellac and tin. A corner intin was impossible, but if the pricewere raised the consumers would resortto substitutes.

Mr. A. M. -Samuel (Con., Farnham,Surrey) in supporting Mr. Grenfell, saidgambling in commodities was helped byexcessively cheap money. The Treasuryshould inquire whether this had notgone too far and defeated itself andmerely encouraged speculation, insteadof trade.

The Board of Trade should inquirehow far the limited liability law waspermitting itself to be used as a shieldlor disreputable transactions.

Mr. Runciman Perturbed.The President of the Board of Trade,

Mr. Walter Kiinciman, said he wasmost concerned to maintain the repu-tation of the City of London for cleandealing. People had every reason to bedisturbed. There must be an investi-gation. It was "only a question of whatform it should take. It was not easyto define legitimate and illegitimatespeculation.

Mr. Runciman emphasised that theofficial receiver now conducting aninquiry had very wide powers. He wasone of the most fearless officials inLondon, therefore there was no needfor misgiving regarding the tribunal,its scope or methods.

Mr. Runciman said he was determinedto see that the investigations went tothe utmost limit. He was going to getthe whole truth out. On the Continenttho term "Stavisky" was used in con-nection with the trouble. Staviskymeant corruption in public life.

It was necessary that it shouldbe known abroad that so far as theGovernment members of the House ofCommons were concerned, there had notbeen a whisper of suspicion that asingle individual was mixed up in theaffair. (Cheers.)

The amendment was defeated with-out a division.

TAX EVASION.U.S.A. LAW SUIT.SENSATIONAL TURN.

Mr. Mellon Charged WithLarge-Scale Avoidance.

HOOVER MINISTER.

(United P.A.-Electric Telegraph-Copyright)

(Received 11 a.m.)

NEW YORK, March S.

The suit brought by Mr. AndrewMellon, the millionaire Secretary ofthe Treasury in the Hoover Adminis-tration, to clear his name of allegedincome tax evasion, reached a climaxat Pittsburgh to-day when the Gov-ernment counsel offered to provethat the Union Trust Company,which Mr. Mellon controlled, was

"the hub of a giant wheel of taxavoidance."

He said that officials of the company,through various subsidiaries, made dealsto show huge capital losses for the solepurpose of evading taxes. Such trans-

actions "cost the Treasury millions ofdollars in lost revenues," he said.

Mr, Mellon and his legal advisers wereobviously perturbed at the charge andasked an adjournment to study thelegality of the admission of such evi-dence, and this the Court granted.

Mr. Mellon also sues to recover about139,000 dollars, alleged to have beenover-paid in income tax in 1931. Theaction has been instituted to clear Mr.Mellon of the charge of fraud whichthe Government unsuccessfully laidagainst him last May.

The Government's counsel now willattempt to prove in open Court thatMr. Mellon owes about 3,000,000 dollarson income they allege he failed to declarefor taxing purposes in 1931.

In his opening address Mr. Mellon'scounsel stated that, whereas plaintiffpaid 047,000 dollars, he could legallyhave avoided paying anything by show-ing his security losses and contributionsto charity.

"It is seven years since I was inNew Zealand," he said. "My stay hasbeen so pleasurable and so enjoyablethroughout that I hope it will be afar shorter time before I come backagain. I shall maintain a constant andearnest endeavour to do everything toimpress the people of England with theurgency and the importance of buyingNew Zealand products in preference tothe goods of foreign countries of thesame type.

DARING THEFT.

BAG AND OVER £100

RAILWAYMEN'S WAGES

FROM SAFE AT WHANGAREI.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WIIANGABEI. this day.

A startling theft, the simplicity ofwhich makes the detection of the crimemore difficult, resulted in the disappear-ance last night of a large sum of money

xfrom the Whangarei railway station.Following the usual practice, a fort-

night's wages for maintenance menattached to stations between Hokiangaand Otiria was drawn from a Whanga-rei bank at 10.30 yesterday morningand deposited in the safe at the book-ing office. At 4 p.m. the money, amount-ing to- £10S 10/0, was checked over,placed in a locked and sealed brief bag,and put back in the safe, to lie thereuntil its dispatch to the North earlythis morning. Three hours later, at 7p.m., the contents of the safe werechecked and found to be in order. Rail-way officials were- abouv the station■until the arrival of the late train fromAuckland at 11.8 p.m.

Door of Safe Not Locked.The late shift clerk, Mr. L. C. £ucas,

paid wages to a member of the- staff,who lad arrived by the train, and thenclosed, but did not lock, the door ofthe safe. Mr. Lucas then proceeded withMβ usual duties of clearing packagesfrom the van of the night train andtransferring them to a place of safetyin the- parcels office. When he com-menced this work the platform was clearof passengers, all the platform lightswere burning, and a street light addotlfurther illumination at the back of thestation. The direct entrance to thebooking office was locked, and access tothe safe could only be gained throughthe door of the tablet office, about 20yards from where the clerk was work-ing. By midnight, Mr. Lucas had com-pleted his task and returned to thebooking office for the purpose ofdeposit-ing late collections handed to him.by theguard, and of locking up for the night.It was then that he made the startlingdiscovery that the bag containing thenorthern wages was missing. Thestationinaster and police were promptlyadvised .and investigations immediatelycommenced, lasting throughout thenight. So far there has been no traceof the missing bag, or clue to theidentity of the robber. ..

Other Cash Untouched.A peculiar feature is that other wages

and cash in the safe, amounting to afairly considerable sum, were untouched.

The missing brown leather brief bagis of small size with double handles andleather straps running round the out-side. The inside of the bag is linedwith pockets. The stolen cash was in

silver and £1 notes..So that' the workmen might receive

their pay at the week-end, a furtherdrawing "was made at the bank this

inorning and the wages were dispatched.

MODERN TANKER.

10,000-TONNER ECLIPSE.

FULL LOAD 4,000,000 GALLONS

The Vacuum Company's tankerEclipse, which arrived yesterday after-noon from Sumatra, is a vessel of 10,000tons She was built in 1931 by Meessr.Scott, of Greenock, for the StandardVacuum fleet, of which she is one ofthe largest. Her carrying capacity ofbulk fuel oil is 4,000,000 gallons.

taking 20 days on tlie passage to Auck-land. She called at Thursday Island topick up the pilot for the passage downthe Queensland Coast inside the Barrierreefs, dropping him off at Moreton Bay.Fine -weather was met with until cross-ing the Tasman.

The vessel is equipped with the latestSperry Gyro compass, which auto-matically keeps the vessel on a ' setcourse, only requiring the quarter-master to stand, by. Her crew consistsof nine European officers and 33 Chineseseamen.

NEW AWARD MADE

BAKERS AND PASTRYCOOKS

The Arbitration Court has made a newaward for the Auckland (country dis-tricts) bakere and pastrycooks and theirlabourers. Formerly the trade was.covered by one award for the whole ofthe northern industrial district, but nowthere are two separate awards, one fortown and one for country.

A 46-hour working week is providedfor bakehouse workers. Minimum ratesof wages are fixed at £4 17/0 forforemen bakers or pastrycooks, £4 7/0for journeymen bakers or pastrycooks,and -£3 15/ for bakehouse labourers.Journeymen jobbem am to receive 10/a day, and labourer jobbers 13/0 a day.Wages of junior labourers range from£1 17/0 to £2 15/, and of female

apprentices from 15/ to £2 5/. Femalejourneywomen are to receive not lessthan £2 18/4.

Wages and other details were agreedupon in Conciliation Council. Mattersrelating to hours, classification of work-ers and holidays, which were in dispute,have been settled by a majority of theCourt on the lines of recent awardsmade in Canterbury and Wellington.

Mr. A. L. Monteith, the union's asses-sor, dissented on the ground that thisaward contains both a long-hour clauseand a low wage-rate clause.

TWO YEARS?TASMAN AIR MAILS.

SERVICE MAY BE SOONER

AVIATION PROGRESS.

"With the present" rapid, developmentof commercial aviation it is not un-reasonable to hope that there will bean air mail service across the Tasmanwithin two years. Something may beaccomplished even ahead of that time."This opinion was 'expressed by CaptainE. Johnston, controller of civil aviationfor the Commonwealth, who is a throughpassenger by the liner Mariposa. Hismission is to investigate commercialflyincr in fill parts of the world, -witha view to introducing improved methodsin Australia.

"The crossing of an ocean span aswide as the Tasman is certainly a prob-lem," said Captain Johnston. "Only oneother such service is in operation, thatacross tho South Atlantic from Dakar,in French West Africa, to Natal, inBrazil. Two companies, one French andone- German, use this route, the lattercompany having depot ships for the sup-ply of "petrol. Spanning the Tasmanpresents the same difficulties, exceptthat the distance is approximately 500miles less—l2oo compared with 1700iv.iles. Careful study of the route andmuch preparation'are necessary beforethese ocean crossings can be included, inregular air services. The Tasman willhave to be properly equipped with allthe modern aids to" navigation, such, asdirection-finders, for an air service tobe of practical use."

Visits of Inspection.Captain Johnston's intention is first

to visit the United States and collect allthe latest data in respect to mail ser-vices and commercial aviation generally.Ho will go to Florida and inspect thePan-American airways operated fromFlorida to the south. After visitingCanada he will go to Europe and theUnited Kingdom, a-nd then to Cairo,the 'operation base of Imperial Airways,this being the junction port for Aus-tralia, South Africa and Eastern routes.He will return by air to Australia,breaking his journey both in India andthe Malay States.

"The Commonwealth Government liasrealised that it cannot get the bestvalue out of its expenditure on civilaviation without having a thoroughknowledge of what other countries aredoing," said Captain Johnston. "Thatis why I am making a world tour. Thevote for civil aviation is approximately£120,000 a year, expended by way ofsubsidies to air services. AVe get barkabout half of that amount by way ofair mail surcharges. The institution ofoverseas mail services has had a groateffect on the. development of commer-cial flying in the Commonwealth, andhas been responsible for the changingof the majority of Australia's internalroutes for the collection and delivery ofmails.

Radio Beacons."So far we have not adopted the

system of radio beacons and other aidsthat are in use in America and else-where, but we have a system of beaconsand ground lights, to give all the aidpossible for night flying. These areplaced at regular intervals, so that weare equippedas well as possible to carryon in the meantime. One of my objectsin visiting America is to investigate thelatest wireless equipment for naviga-tion. We have found that the route toTasmania across Bass Strait presentsone of our greatest problems, for at cer-tain seasons the weather is bad andvisibility poor. We have a temporaryarrangement in respect to wirelessdirection finding, but no decision hasbeen come to so far as to what perma-nent equipment will be installed. TheTimor Sea crossing during the monsoonseason is another difficulty that has tobe contended with."

Asked what was being done to aidnavigation from Darwin south acrossthe continent, Captain Johnson saidseveral airmen had been lost .owing tothe country being featureless. At kejpoints direction arrows were now beinjinstalled. They consisted of iron platforms 100ft hi length and Oft acrosspainted white.

"The Centenary race gave aviation awonderful iillip," lie continued. "Therace aroused tremendous interest. Itappealed to imagination, and hashelped more than anything else to arousethe public, to the importance of the airfor both mail and passenger services."

SPEED IN TRAVEL.

THE OLD AND THE NEW

SIR E. CAMPBELL .ARRIVES

"Mv father came out to Now Zealandin 1857 to fight in the Maori wars. Ittook him four months in a sailing shipto get here. I have clone the journeyfrom London in 17 travelling days,"commented Sir Edward Campbell, amember of the; English House of Com-mons and Parliamentary secretary toSir Kingsley Wood, Postmaster-General.Sir Edward arrived this morning by theMariposa in continuation of his officialtour of the proposed air route from Eng-land to Xew Zealand.

Sir Edward.has already discussed theair mail service with the Governments ofIndia, tlie Straits Settlements and Aus-tralia. "The main difficulties of inaugu-rating the direct air mail service havebeen overcome," lie declared. "The per-sonal, contact with Jthe various Govern-ments interested in rne proposal has beenextraordinarily useful. The ground wehave covered in a few weeks could nothave been completed in two years ofcorrespondence.

"I firmly believe that an air route toEngland will be a fait accompli by 1937.Practically the only thing that remainsto be done is to find the necessaryfinance. At present it takes 31 days togo from Sydney to London. When thereis a direct air route one will be able togo to London, stay a fortnight and re-turn home in less than 30 days. Sucha speeding up of transit cannot but beof the greatest help to the business com-munities of the Empire."

Although Sir Edward's father did notsettle in Xew-Zealand after the Maoriwars, he often referred to the beautiesand possibilities of the Dominion, andSir Edward's visit is the fulfilment ofa wish often expressed before his father'sdeath, that lie should come to New Zea-land.

After discussions with the Xew Zea-land Government, Sir Edward will leavefor Canada, where he will continue hisnegotiations for tlie establishment of anEmpire air service.

Hrigadier-Gcneral Sir Frederic Wil-liamson, director of postal services inGrent Britain, who arrived in Wellingtona few days ago, met Sir Edward thismorning. -•;

AT THE SOLOMONS.CANNIBALISM DYING.

BISHOP WADE'S EXPERIENCE.

TWELVE YEARS A MISSIONARY

Although cannibalism is still practisedin some untouched portions of theSolomon Islands, it is fast dying outand the natives are gradually becomingChristianised. This information wasgiven this morning by Biehop Wade,Roman Catholic Bishop of the NorthSolomons; who is a through passengerby the Mariposa on his first visit toRome. An American by birth. BishopWade has spent 12 years in missionarywork in the Solomon Islands and wasconsecrated Bishop of the North Solo-mons at Sydney live years ago.

Associated with the Roman CatholicMission in the Solomons is Father JohnMcHardy, of Taranaki. lie is a brotherof the late Father Emmet McHardy, whowas also connected with the same mis-sion. A film hns been made of life inthe Solomon Islands under the title of"Saints and Savagee." This is beingshown in Australia at the present time,a charge for admission being made toraise funds for the mission. The"movie" will be brought to New Zea-land after it has been shown iii Mel-bourne. The pictures were mainly takenby the late Father McHardy. When hedied his brother completed the film,which is 8000ft in length

The Island of Bouganvillo, which is200 miles long, possessed some bad sec-tions as far as untamed natives wereconcerned,- said Bishop Wade, but themission was gradually penetrating intothe midst of the hostile people. Thevillages of Kuiiua and Numa had beenvisited this year. They were desertedby the natives which, was a sign thatthey had become peaceful and wouldgradually come back.

"Killings by the natives generallytake place when their villages are sur-prised by the penetration of Europeans,!,said Illsiiop Wade. "The natives getexcited and kill more through fear thanby intention."

NO MORE LOANS.

OTAHUHU TOLD.

GENERAL ACCOUNT IN DEBT.

FOOTPATH SCHEME 'UNSOUND'

It has been decided by the OtahuhuBorough Council to maJce public thereasons given by the Local GovernmentLoans Board for refusing to sanction thecouncil's proposal to raise a loan of£8500 for footpath construction.

The letter refusing sanction of theloan stated the Loans Board was of theopinion that the financial position ofthe borough at the present time did notwarrant the raising of a loan. Theboard considered that the Borough Coun-cil should concentrate on improving itsfinanced generally before recourse tofurther borrowing. "In this respectthe board draws particular attention tothe fact that the general account atMarch 31, 1934, was in debit to theextent of £3223."

Rates Unpaid by State.The council in reply pointed out that

nearly half of the large debit was dueto the redemption of leans falling duein 1932 and 1934 having to be madeout of the general account, owing to thefact that the council could not sell Usdebentures. The inability to sell thesewas due to the Government being inthe market at a more favourable rateof interest. It was also pointed outthat £11,585 was outstanding in ratosat March. 1!>34, and about half wasestimated to be ilne by various StateDepartments, the liability going back forabout six years.

Tn a final letter the Loans Boardstated that it was pleasing to note thatthe Borough Coi'/icil had since beensuccessful in disposing of it* debenturesto the value of £13,850, and the generalaccount relieved to that extent. "Thefact remains, however, that even allow-ing for the sale of debentures, the.

general account must still be substan-tially in debt. At March. 3034. aftertaking into account the snle of deben-tures, it must still be in the region of.tlfi.OOO to .ClT.Ofin." It admitted thatthe statement of the jieneral accountwould be in n fairly satisfactory posi-tion if outstanding rates were paid, jvaspriniA facie correct, but that did notalter the fact that until rates were col-lected the position was unsatisfactory.In the board's view raising further loanmoneys would place an additional bur-den on the ratepayers who were alreadyunable to meet their rating obligations.

Rate Collection "Fundamental."The council's proposal to pay interest

and sinking fund charges for the firstfew years.out of a subsidy obtained fromthe Unemployment Board was lookedupon by the Loans Board as an unsoundmethod of finance. "The problem ofcollection of present rates is of funda-mental importance, and the Loans Boardcannot overlook (he fact that it is wellwithin the bounds of/possibility thatthe council may exi'erienee just nsmuch, if not more, difficulty in a fewyears' time in collecting increase'] ratesas a result of incurring liability."

The Loans Board correspondence wassiyned by Mr. A. D. Park, secretary tothe Treasury.

MILK SUPPLY.

FOR SCHOOL PUPILS.

PROPOSAL IN AUCKLAND.

PREVIOUS TRIAL SUCCESSFUL.

The recent advocacy by the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, of the idea thatmilk should be supplied to the schoolchildren has received considerable sup-port in Auckland, and inquiries are nowbeing made to ascertain whether a suc-cessful scheme can be launched.

It hne been ascertained that there areroughly about 10.000 children in theAuckland schools, and it is consideredthat after allowance has been made forchildren who do not drink milk and theaverage of those absent, there wouldbe about SOOO children to deal with.

Jt is believed that a scheme to dealwith 8000 children and give them up toa pint a day each would cost £.'3O a day,that the necessary supply could besecured at 8d a gallon, and that thescheme could be carried on at that pricefqr at least the next three months.

Arrangements have been made to takethe matter up with the Auckland Edu-cation Board, when the fact will bestressed that similar schemes of milksupply to children in other places havebeen successful.

Tn the monthe of October, Novemberand December of last year ii farmer nearAuckland made a free gift of a dailysupply of milk for the Newton Westand Newton Central Schools, and oneof the Auckland milk firms pasteurisedtlit* supply before delivery.

The headmaster of the Newton WestSchool (.Mr. <;. Lord) states the milkwas supplied t<> 1-1(1 children in tin;primers, and to selected children fromstandard 1. to form 11. The heightand weight of each child was taken atthe commencement of the supply, andat the end. It was found that 120children increased in weight from Jibto 21l> each, while the remainder did notlose weight. The general health improvedconsiderably, and few of the childrenwere absent through illness. It wasnoted that with improvement in healthcame greater menial alertness, andgeneral improvement in school work.

The headmaster of the Newton CentralSchool (Mr. Spenceley Walker) statesthat at that school milk was suppliedto 134 children, 80 showed an increasein weight, and 4.~> a loss in weight, thelatter fact being attributed to the factthat children generally lose weight afterthe winter, that they then wear lighter jclothing, rind also to an epidemic ofinfluenza and whooning cough that wasthen prevalent. He was certain, how-ever, that the general health of theweaker section of (he school liad beenimproved by the daily ration of milk.

Fifteen horses paraded for the TrialStakes, and when backers got busy mostsupport was accorded Nahlin, Lilbertand Master Rex. Mossvale got awaybadly, and when the field settled downLilbert was showing the way to WorthyKing, Calshot, Master Musk, Nahlin andFlit Acre. Racela then came throughfast and was in charge across the topfrom Little Artist, Lilbert, Spear King,Nahlin and Red Hawk. Racela, LittleArtist, Lilbert and Nahlin were theleaders to the straight, and in a greatfinish Nahlin got up to beat Lilbert bya head, with Little Artist a similar dis-tance away third. Racela was fourth.Then came Red Hope, Master Musk, Cal-shot, Master Rex and Full of Scotch.

Detailed results: —

A Short Priced Winner.'In a five-horse field' for the Frankton

Hurdles, the public had no hesitationin selecting Val Watch a hot favourite,with fair support for Pennyplain andSilver Wattle. When they jumped thefirst fence Val Watch was showing clearof Pennyplain, Silver Wattle, Claremoreand Komak, but at the second hurdle

| Val Watch made a faulty jump but1recovered well, and the order along theback was Val Watch, Komak, Penny-plain and Silver Wattle, with Claremorebeginning to tail off. Pennyplain ranup to Val Watch across the top and thepair led into the straight 10 lengthsclear of Komak and Silver Wattle. ValWatch finished best in the run home,to beat Pennyplain by a, length, witha gap of 10 lengths to Silver Wattle.Komak was fourth, with Claremore along way back.

The Juveniles.Five horses were withdrawn from the

Juvenile Handicap, and most supportcame for Dn Barry, the Velocipede—

Triune bracket, and" Application. Veloci-pede was first out but, when the fieldsettled down Application had charge'from Teak (who received a knock andwent light back), King Flight, Opinionand Brilliant Acre. When they hit thestraight Application was a shajle clearof Ruaville, Brilliant Acre, Triune. KingFlight, Opinion and Du Barry.

WOOL PRICES.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

THIRD DUMTEDIN SALE.. ii

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

DUNEDDf, this day.At tlie tliird wool mile of the season

24,002 bales were offered. Prices forthe first catalogue were better than ex-pected, probably because the selectionand quality had a greater appeal thanthose at recent sales.

The halfbreds proved suitable for theContinent, whiei had better limits.partly ixccounUy for by the improvedmarket for sterling.

ilerinoe, compared with, the last localsale, declined a penny, halfbred a half-penny, and crossbred a farthing. Topprices in the first catalogue were 14dfor six bales of Merino combing, and13Jd for superfine halfbred, binned.

The great bulk of the offering con-sisted of station clips, and later shornfine wool. Only about 7J per cent ofthe first catalogue was passed. Growersand brokers were prepared for a sub-stantial drop in halfbreds, but the de-cline was slight. There was not thesame keen competition by local millsfor super- lots, which were a penny be-low February rates. There was a strongdemand for pieces, but within strictlimits.

Competition was well distributed.France bid keenly, but Germany andJapan were satisfied with small orders.Bradford was predominant, lifting thobig proportion of the fine wool andother offerings.

"INEQUITABLE."LEVY ON MEAT.

NEW ZEALAND VIEW.

"MAY REACT ON OUR TARIFFPOLICY."

REPLY MADE TO BRITAIN.

The New Zealand Government, afterstudying the British Government's long-term meat policy, has replied thatBritain's proposals, for a \ levy on allmeat imported into the United Kingdomis not acceptable to New Zealand. TheNew Zealand Government describes theproposal as "inequitable and discrimina-tory," and certain to inflict severe andundue hardship on the sheep industry.It also says that Britain's, proposals"may react on our tariff policy."

The New Zealand Government's re-ply, which was made public last night,together with a statement of the viewsof the British Government as embodiedin the White Paper published in Londonon March 0, was as follows:—

"His Majesty's Government in NewZealand have given full considerationto your telegram of February 13.• "Since the Ottawa Agreement NewZealand has endeavoured to co-operatewith the United Kingdom in an attemptto correct the situation caused by theabnormal glut which then existed in themarket for meat.- We believe that thearrangement made at Ottawa has so farworked satisfactorily. Despite difficul-ties in the initiation of the plan, it willbe appreciated that New Zealand hasnot acted in any way which is inconsis-tent with the spirit of the agreementmade in 1932. It is our opinion that noaspect of New Zealand's policy in regardto meat has intensified the difficultiesof the British producer or run counterto the expressed wishes of His Majesty'sGovernment in the United Kingdom.

New Zealand's Tariff Reductions."Further, New Zealand has endea-

voured on her part to carry out theOttawa arrangements in respect oftariff reductions both by action imme-diately following the conference and by asubsequent general review of the tariff.The result has been a marked loweringof duties over a wide range of Britishimports into New Zealand. Many dutieson British imports have been abolished.In consequence the import of Britishmanufactured goods has increased sub-stantially. His Majesty's Governmentin the United Kingdom will appreciatethat even prior to Ottawa New Zealand'stariff on British goods was approxi-mately one-fourth as heavy as were thecomparable tariffs of other Dominions.

"We desire to re-emphasise that theeconomic development of New Zealandhas been contingent upon the expansionof our main export industries. Thisexpansion was necessary to provide themeans of payment of interest on Britishcapital invested in this Dominion, andit enabled us to purchase increasingquantities of British exports. This wasa mutually advantageous development.

Would Mean Serious Loss."In the light of the foregoing and of

the sympathetic consideration of HisMajesty's Government in the UnitedKingdom in the past we find it difficultto believe that the proposals for a levyon all meat imported into the UnitedKingdom from New Zealand will providea satisfactory solution. It would bediscriminatory in its effects and wouldinvolve New Zealand in serious economicloss. It would negative all the adjust-mente made in New Zealand designed toreduce farming costs.

"The position in regard to mutton andlamb has been satisfactorily adjusted asa result of the Ottawa Agreement. Thedifficulties facing the United King-dom are not directly influenced by supplies of mutton and lamb. The problemin the United Kingdom as stated inrecent communications is primarilyrelated to beef, for which the demand ofthe British consumer has been fallingoff, and it would appear that New Zea°land's sh.are of the beef imports is notsuch as would substantially affect thesituation.

"Cannot Support Levy.""The imposition of the proposed levywould not only terminate the Ottaw.a

Agreement, which New Zealand hasmade strenuous efforts to observe, butwould also inflict severe and undue hard-ship on the sheep industry of thiscountry. In fact, our mutton and lambproducers would be heavily penalised toassist in the solution of what isessentially a beef problem.

"New Zealand regrets that it cannotvoluntarily support the principle of alevy; and in the form proposed it isespecially repugnant to meat producersand to the people of this Dominion.New Zealand, with a population of oneand a half millions, with the highest percapita external trade in the world, withmeat exports amounting to a quarterof our total export values—a proportionwhich is enormously greater than thatof any other Dominion—would be calledupon to carry a levy which isdemonstrably a far greater burden toNew Zealand than to any other BritishDominion. We urge that the proposalis inequitable and discriminatory.

"Would Destroy Ottawa's Results.""We consider that the proposal of the

British Government would destroy themutually beneficial results arising fromthe Ottawa Agreement. In the case ofNew Zealand it would Be contrary to thepolicy of giving the Dominions morefavourable treatment than that accordedto countries outside the Empire, sinceNew Zealand is the least able amongsupplying countries to bear the dispro-portionate and onerous burden of a levy.In addition, we believe that the marketwould be heavily over-supplied, andthis would involve a heavy fall inprices. Thus New Zealand's economicposition would be rendered precarious.

"The long-term proposals of theUnited Kingdom Government in regardto meat, as expressed in your telegramof February 13 (which was subsequentlypublished as a White Paper), may reacton our tariff policy. We fear that theproposal to impose a levy on all meatsimported into the United Kingdomwould so damage our external trade asto bring into prominence the whole ques-tion of tariff revision in New Zealand.This we are most anxious to avoid.

"Finally we would emphasise verydefinitely* that any contemplated actionwhich niay be construed as underminingthe principles underlying the Ottawa-4grenment should \>e avoided, and beforethe Ottawa Agreement as it stands isattended, a formal conference shouldconsider and approve of any altera-tions."

MOST SERIOUS.PROBLEM FOR N.Z.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?

DIVERGENT OPINIONS

Divergent opinions as to the stepswhich should be taken by the New Zea-land Government in regard to the prob-lem of meat exports to Great Britainwere expressed this morning by personsrepresenting different sections of theexport industry. One suggested thatNew Zealand had not done enough underthe Ottawa agreement; another thatNew Zealand's other industries shouldnot be penalised for the *sake of meat;a third that the Imperial Governmentshould be informed unequivocally thatthe levy proposals are disfavoured inNew Zealand, hinting that under themit might not be possible for ■ theDominion to pay her overseas interest;but all were unanimous that the positionis most serious.

In dealing with salient points in thequestion, one prominent merchant wentback to the Ottawa Agreement. Therewere 46,000,000 people in the UnitedKingdom who had to be fed and clothed,he said. The food was mainly imported,and had to be paid for in goods andservices. The- Ottawa Agreement wasdesigned to give the United Kingdoma larger share of trade in manufacturedgoods. The result had been disappoint-ing to the United Kingdom manufac-turer. A restriction of imports meantthe raising of prices for 94 per cent ofthe population, and only 6 per cent hadobtained any direct benefit.

New Zealand Exports Increased.New Zealand trade figures for the

Ottawa year and the three years follow-ing showed that New Zealand had in-creased her exports to Great Britain, buthad not proportionately increased herimports from that country. The risein the exchange had more than neutral-ised any advantage accruing to theBritish "manufacturer from the adjust-ment of the tariff. The underlyingprinciple of Ottawa had been that NewZealand should give to the UnitedKingdom a largerproportion of its tradein imported goods. "The figures showwe have done practically nothing. Theexchange has increased very consider-ably, and our imports are practicallystationary. We did not carry out thespirit of" Ottawa. We did not reducetariffs until three years after, whereasthe British Government acted imme-diately."

He added that he Avas not favourableto the wholesale establishment ofsecondary industries. Only those whichwere economically eound should befounded, and there were not many ofthem. If New Zealand adhered to butter-making, and exchanged that with whatBritain could produce more cheaply,the country would be better off."What we have to do,"- he said finally,

"is to make an independent agreementwith Britain. The commercial viewpointin London is that that would be wel-comed. If we were prepared to taketheir goods we could make an agree-ment which would be satisfactory."

Secondary Industries Defended."The proposed action of the Imperial

Government, which will have such harm-ful results on our meat industry, seemsto have revived the now threadbarearguments against the development ofsecondary industries in the Dominion,"said Mr.'J. A. C. Allum, president of theAuckland Manufacturers' Association."Although hard to understand, it seemsthere are still those who would makethe Dominion virtually an additionalagricultural county of the UnitedKingdom. I am confident, however, thatthe vast bulk of our citizens desire thatNew Zealand shall be a member of theBritish Commonwealth of Nations, andto develop as a nation New Zealandmust pay attention to all classes ofindustry and service.

"So far as the secondary industriesare concerned, they were subjected tothe closest scrutiny by the recent TariffCommission, and to the most searchingcriticism of those who appeared beforethe commission tendering evidenceagainst Dominion manufactures. To eaythat raising the exchange to 25 per centhas tended to destroy the benefits of thelowering of the tariff on British goodsis scarcely correct.

"The position in regard to the meatindustry is little short of alarming, butnothing is to be gained by taking actionwhich will harm another very importantsection of the community. The properthing to do is for those of knowledgeand experience to assist in an endeav-our to modify the requirements of theImperial Government, and above all todo everything possible in an endeavourto secure a share of other and newmarkets."

POSSIBLE EFFECTS.

LOWER LIVING STANDARDS

"Those who have voice to speak shouldspeak strongly against this levy sug-gestion," said a stock merchant. If whatwas suggested were brought to fruition,it would mean in New Zealand lowerwages and a lowering of the standardof living. "On top of that," he added,"we would not be able to pay ourinterest commitments in London. It istime that someone made that state-ment."

The position for the Dominion, heasserted, would be hopeless. That hadto be realised, and strong protests shouldbe made throughout the country. Com-pared with Britain's total imports, thelittle bit of meat that New Zealandwanted to send was a mere bagatelle."The whole -thing is disproportionate.Denmark sells about four times as muchas she takes." He suggested that a levyof id a lb on our meat, with no restric-tion and a levy of Id a lb on foreignmeat, together with a restriction ofquantities, would be acceptable. There,

have -ot to be quotas, but they shouldnot be"on Empire produce, but on foreignproduce, and the British Governmentwill have to realise that."

Quota Preferable?"The whole thing comes down to a

matter of pounds, shillings and pence,was the opinion of another meat ex-porter "The levy would amount to£1 100,000 in the aggregate on all classeso Ne v Zealand meat. If the restrictionon imports could be made smaller, thenit woukl be a matter of business calcula-

up."

BRITISH SUBSIDY.

EXTENSION BILL.

STATEMENT BY MR. ELLIOTT.NO ALTERATION PROPOSED.

United P.A. -Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

(Received 11 a.m.)

LONDON, March 8.Mr. Walter Elliot, Minister of Agri-

culture, in the House of Commons,moved the second reading of the CattleIndustry Emergency Provisions Bill. Heexplained that it was an interimmeasure, extending for three months thebill passed in July last. The questionwas of such importance to the Dominionsand other overseas countries that itmust be exhaustively examined beforeaction was taken.

The best method of dealing with thesituation was by a short extension ofthe present arrangement. "We areacting for the benefit of all concerned,"he declared, "and the interests of theoverseas supplier arc being meticulouslyconsidered. The Government does notpropose to alter the provisions of thebill."

The Minister added that the necessityfor full consideration and avoidanceof hasty action was evidenced by thefact that even after long discussionswith representatives of the Dominionsa misunderstanding arose in one case.This did not lead to serious conse-quences and had been cleared up, butuntil Mr. J. A. Lyons, Prime Ministerof Australia, arrived it was impossible,

to continue detailed discussion of along-term policy.

Dr. Addison, Minister of Agriculturein the Labour Government, moving therejection of tho bill, said that therewas nothing in it. to show 4|iat theproducer would get the money he wasintended to get, nothing to increase theconsumers' purchasing power and nobenefits to pass on to the agriculturallabourer.

The bill was read a second time by120 votes to 23.

LONDON COMMENT.

"GOVERNMENT ADAMANT."

QUOTA IF LEVY REJECTED.

(Received 12 noon.)

LONDON, March 3.

New Zealand's rejection of the meatlevy proposal, closely following Dr.Karlo Page's reply, has caused a wide-spread feeling that the levy is "dead asmutton."

Ministers arc reserving their con-sidered opinion, pending examination ofthe replies, but regarding restrictionGovernment quarters are adamant, re-peating more emphatically that theystand by the White paper as plainlystating British policy. If the Dn-minions decline a levy, the only alterna-tive is the drastic restriction, whichBritain will enforce on July 1.

MARKET WILL FALL.

QUESTION OF QUANTITIES

"If there is to be a levy or duty onimports of meat into the United King-dom, and no restriction on imports,there will probably be a considerablefall in the market in Great Britain,and wnatever levy or import tax thereis will have to be borne by the pro-ducer in New Zealand," said an Auck-land authority on the meat trade.

"Aβ regards sheep and lambs, it ispossible that a levy of Jd per lb couldbe borne, but whether New Zealandshould agree to pay this depends onwhat quantity of sheep and lambs theBritish Government would allow NewZealand to export free of duty.

"If a quota could be fixed whichwould only mean a small restriction (ifany) on New Zealand shipments, itwould bo much better than the duty.Last season's exports from New Zea-land were approximately 8,500,000 lambsand 2,000,000 sheep. A duty of Jd perlb would be 1/3 per head of lamb and2/3 per head of sheep, or £530,000 onthe lamb shipments, and on sheep£225,000—a total of £755,00. The

question of which is the best thing forNew Zealand to do depends entirelyupon what quantity of sheep and lambsGreat Britain would agree to take freeof duty. If the restrictions were goingto be very drastic, then it might bebetter to agree to the duty.

"With regnrd to beef, in view of thevery low prices for beef which mustcome about with unrestricted ship-ments into tlie United Kingdom, andwith duty to be paid in addition, theposition of the cattle grower would bevery serious."

TRAGIC FOR AUSTRALIA.

POSITION OF CATTLEMEN.

(Received 11.30 a.m.)

BRISBANE, this day.The Queensland Minister of Agricul-

ture, Mr. Bulcock, said that a levy ofJd per lb on Empire meats would create

a tragic position for the- cattlemen ofAustralia.

CHURCH AND RADIO.

CONTROL OF EXPRESSION.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)CHRISTCHURCH, Friday.

The possibility that through ite con-trol of broadcasting the State mighteventually control the expression ofreligion was a comment made by Mr.H. Sturge, chairman at the annualassembly of the Congregation Unionof New Zealand, which is being heldin Christchurch. Mr. Sturge said manypeople held that the advance of broad-casting would finally do away withchurch-going and that the microphonewould replace the pulpit. If that everdid occur, the State might controlreligion, or at least the expression of it.

Mr. Sturge added, however, that hehimself did not hold the view thatpeople would give up church-going tolisten to broadcast services. There wouldalways be an impulse for people toassemble to worship. Only by theassembling of people in churches couldthe Church grow, and failure by thepeople to assemble could lead only tospiritual atrophy, decay and death.

THE BRIDGE.

WHAT PROSPECTS?

COMPANY'S EFFORTS.

FAILURE TO RAISE MONEY

HOPES DISAPPOINTED

(No. I.)

The recent resolution of the Auck-land City Council, recommending theforfeiture by the Auckland HarbourBridge Company, Ltd., of its charter,has set many people wondering aboutthe prospects of the harbour bridge pro-ject, which lias remained a project forso many years. The time appears op-portune for a review of the effortswhich have been made to build thebridge, and particularly of the activitiesof the Harbour Bridge Company and itspredecessors.

The first setback received by tlioseadvocating the bridge scheme was when,in August, 1928, officers, of the Auck-land Harbour Hoard, in a report uponthe scheme, expressed tho opinion thatthey did not think the time opportuneto build the bridge. At that time theHarbour Bridge Association estimatedthat the bridge would cost £700,000(since then the original scheme line beenextended, and tho estimated cost in-creased considerably), and the HarbourBoard officers' report stated that it wouldcost annually £100,000 to pay interest,provide for sinking fund and mainten-ance. This was four times the amountthe Devonport Ferry Company was thenderiving from freights.

The Royal Commission.In 1929 the Government decided to set

up a Royal Commission to inquire intothe proposed bridge. Mr. E. 11. Grevillc,then, president of the Harbour BridgeAssociation, suggested the personnel ofthe commission, and immediately therewas a protect from the Harbour Boardand others. In June of the same yearanother note was struck when the lateMr. D. E. Harkness, then lecturer in civilengineering at the Auckland University,gave a lecture on the practicability ofconnecting the two sides of the harbourby means of a tunnel. A .eontroVersybetween advocates of rival schemes thenensued through the columns of the news-papers.

In October, 1929, the personnel of theRoyal Commission was appointed. Themembers wore Mr. l<, . W. Furkert, engi-neer-in-ehief of the Public WorksDepartment; Mr. Jas. Marehbanka,general manager and chief engineer tothe- Wellington Harbour Board; andCaptain Coll McDonald, representing theOtago Harbour Board. The personneldid not meet with the approval of theHarbour Bridge Association, and thecomplaint was made that "the. cardshad been stacked against the bridge."However, despite a protest to the Minis-ter of Public Works and in the House,the appointments stood.

The commission opened its sittings atAuckland on November 14, 1929, butnone of the interested parties wereready with their evidence. The HarbourBridge Association representatives sub-mitted that the borings which theGovernment had arranged to take of theharbour should be available before- evi-dence was heard, but the commissionover-mled this contention, holding thatthe first question was whether thebridge was necessary, and pointed outthat the population of Auckland wasthen just over 200,000. At this juncturethere appeared on the scene the Waite-inata Bridge Inquiry Protection Associa-tion, but it seems to have made it*debut and taken its final curtain almostat once.

What the Commission Found.The commission concluded its inquiry

on December 10, 1929, and on May 15 ofthe following year reported that thebridge project was premature, and thatthe time for the erection of the bridgewould not arrive in less than 20 years.The commission estimated that the costof the bridge as proposed in the plansconsidered would be £1,9.10,000. 4 Fixedcharges, based on interest at 5§ per cent,sinking fund J per cent, and deprecia-tion, maintenance and operation 1A percent, on round figures of £2.000,000would amount to £l;30,000 annually. Thecommission also expressed the opinionthat the bridge should not be built bythe Government or local authorities, butadded that no obstacle should be placedin the way of a private company build-ing the bridge, and if there could be anysuch arrangement the company orprivate individual should have all therights to tolls for a period of 2o years.

1500 Applicants for Work.Supporters of the scheme then set to

work to form a company, and this wasdone with a capital of 3-5000. Most ofthe money was subscribed in smallamounts, and mostly by North Shoreresidents.

On March VI, 1031, the director*stated that the bridge could be startedwithin four months of the granting ofthe charter. Direct work on the bridgewould be given 000 men :ind indirectwork to several hundreds more. Kxceptfor certain skilled men all the labourwas to be supplied from the Dominion.

On September <J, 1031, the AucklandHarbour Bridge Empowering Bill wa.spassed, and Mr. C. If. M. VVilh, thenchairman of directors of the-, HarbourBridge Company, announced he was con-fident a start would be made on thebuilding of the bridge the followingyear.

On October 23, 1931, Mr; Wills statedthat hundreds of men had alreadyapplied for jobs and a list was beingkept. On December IS, 1031, he an-nounced that good progress was beingmade and a definite announcement wouldbe made within a few weeks. No lessthan 1.300 men had applied for jobs, solie had closed the list.

Dispute in Directorate.In the following month, January 8,

1032, a dispute arose among the direc-tors when the board of directors issueda circular with the object of removingtwo of their number from - office. Themain reason given in the circular wasthat a request had been made by Mr.JSnnis, of Messrs. Dorman, Long andCo., Ltd, that the directorate should bereduced as miieh as possible. Mr. Kniiishad stated to the directorate that hisfirm was negotiating for the necessaryfinance, but financiers were definitelyopposed to largo directorates and lie sug-gested the directorate should comprisenot more than eight—three local bodyrepresentatives, four shareholders', an.!one representative of his firm. lie hadmentioned that his (inn would probablyhave to find the major portion of theshare capital of £250.000. (Prior tothis the Harbour Bridge Company hadbeen negotiating with Messrs. Dorman.

Long anil Co., builders of the- SydneyHarbour Bridge.) The two directors re-fused to resign voluntarily and therewas more dissension.

On March 3, 1932, Sir WalterStringer was appointed chairman ofdirectors, Mr. 0. H. M. Wills' .havingtendered his resignation owing to a newagreement having been entered intobetween the company and the legal firmof which Mr. Wills was senior partner.

3n March, 1932, the Hon. Roland Kit-sou, a, director of the Bank of Englandand deputy-chairman t of directors ofDorman, Long and Co., arrived in Auck-land, lie intimated to the directorsthat unless £250,000 were raised in NewZealand it was unlikely English in-vestors would put big money into theproposal, lie- also said that, naturally,English investors would wish to knowthe standing of the directors of the com-pany.

Shareholders' Annual Meeting.On September ti, 1032, the announce-

ment was made that negotiations forfinancing the bridge through Dorman,Long and Co., and other English con-struction companies, had failed. Acircular to that effect was sent to share-holders. The shareholders also receivednotice concerning the first annual meet-ing, stating that the meeting wouldinquire into statements made that acertain sum of money covered certainwork for a period of ten years; thereason why the annual general meetingof shareholders had been delayed; andwhy directors who resigned by requesthad not been reinstated, seeing that thereason for their resignation had notproved necessary.

The first annual meeting was held inprivate on September 17, 1932, and dur-ing the meeting Sir Walter Stringer andtwo directors "representing local bodiesleft the room, and the meeting "gradu-ally dissolved." It was stated subse-quently that there had been considerablediscussion on the balance-sheet, whichwas adopted. A motion to appoint liveshareholders a committee to put pro-minent business men on the directoratebrought a sharp difference of opinion,and the motion was declared carried. Apoll was demanded, whereupon thechairman left the chair, saying: "Ifyou want to go on with this meeting,you must get another chairman; I'mgoing-"

On October 0, 1932, Mr. J. Guiniven,Mayor of Takapuna, at a meeting ofrepresentatives of local bodies, saidthat the general opinion was that thebridge would never be built by the Har-bour Bridge Company. He also ex-pressed the opinion that if the moneywas not available within a month, thecompany should go into liquidation.

On October 21, 1032, the- annual meet-ing was resumed, and tho number ofdirectors, exclusive of the three localbody representatives, increased fromfive to nine.

_««.

On February 21, 1033, shareholdersheld a meeting and passed a resolutioncalling upon the company to go intovoluntary liquidation.

";£i,500,000 Available."On June 10, 1033, the directors issued

a statement that they had received ad-vice from England that £1,500,000 waeready and available to build the bridge,provided certain financial details weresettled locally.

On December 3, 1934, accompanyingthe report and balance-sheet read at theannual meeting, was a slip of paperwhich stated that "a report had beenreceived from London stating thatfinance was now definitely available, andthe information they were supplyingmust satisfy the most hesitant offinanciers."

On February 22 of the present year itwas revealed that at eome previousdate there had been negotiations withKrupps, the German steel and arma-ment Arm. Krupps , agent in Londonsaid his firm had been approached ontho matter eleven months previously,and had "refused after examining theproposal."

On Wednesday last a deputation coni-prieing the secretary of the company,Mr. C. G. Ashdowne, Mr. Julius Hogben,and Messrs. J. Guiniven. R. Martin andG. Mills, Mayors of Takapuna, North-cote and Birkenhead respectively, wentto Wellington with the request that theMain Highways Hoard and Unemploy-ment Board give free grants of£200,000 each. The Minister of Em-ployment, Sir Alexander Young, saidthe Unemployment Board was willingto "grant a subsidy on the wages paidto men in Xcw Zealand on the fabrica-tion of eteel, up to £100,000," but un-employment funds would not be used tosubsidise the building of a bridge.

DUMMY DEALS.

CONSPIRACY CHARGES.

STATEMENT CHALLENGED.

UNFAIR TO INSURANCE CO,

During the hearing of evidence in thePolice Court on Thursday, when a num-

ber of men were charged with conspiringto defraud by deceit in connection withfalse hire-purchase agreements on motor

cars, one of the accused, Alfred ErnestHay, in a statement said it was acommon practice among insuranceassessors to place work at their firm'sdisposal at a garage where they obtainedsome pecuniary benefit.

When the hearing of further chargesa«ainst Hay was continued in the I'oiiceCourt yesterday, Mr. Dickson, whoappeared for Fraser, another accused,challenged a passage in the statementwhich Hay made to the police.

"Although 1 am not appearing onbehalf of the North Island MotorUnion Mutual Insurance Company,but am appearing for Eraser inthis matter, in fairness to the- insur-ance company, I should etate at oncethat my client positively denies Hay'sstatement that it is a common practiceamong insurance assessors to placethe work at their linn's disposal at agarage where they obtain some pecuni-ary benefit," said Mr. Diekson.

"The charges against Fraser arc in noway connected with allegedly givingwork to any particular garage proprietorin the interests or any insurance com-pany, as the allegations against himrelate to setting forth 'dummy, claimsagainst the insurance company. Thebulk of the- work, in fact, is actuallyplaced in a garage nominated by theclient, and assessors have little oppor-tunity of placing work in any particulargarage, and in fact, as far as Mr. Fraseris concerned, he lias not, on any occa-sion, placed work other than wherenominated or suggested by the client.1 am mentioning this fact because myattention has been drawn to it, and itwould not be fair to the insurance com-pany to let Hay's statement go iiiicon-tradicted."

Charge Dismissed.Hay (Mr. Dyson) was charged with

stealing £05, the property of Kobert jPoots, on November 15, I!KM.

Kobert Poots, storekeeper, of ToAroha, said lie sold a car to Hay for£115 on November 5, ]S>34. Hay tookdelivery of the car to test it before hebought it. A month later he saw Hayand asked him why he had not postedthe cheque to witness. Hay seemed sur-prised and said the office girl had postedthe cheque to Manawatu instead ofManawaru. Later Hay wrote to witnessand said he had sold the car. He encloseda yellow form which witness signed andreturned to accused. Witness had neverbeen paid anything for the truck.

This charge was dismissed by themagistrate, who eaid that the evidencefailed to disclose theft. It was a straight-out sale to Hay, who was not acting asagent.

"TAKEN FOR A RIDE."

A MYTHICAL ACCIDENT.

During the hearing of evidence againstHay and Norman Henry Fraser ofconspiring to defraud the N.I.M.U.Mutual Insurance Company of £57 0/, aclerk in the claims department of thecompany eaid that a claim was madein 1033 in respect of .a car which wasstated to have met with an accident atthe corner of Market and RemueraRoads. The car was ineured for £100in the name of Leila OMDonnell, and theclaim was signed by her young brother.

Mr. Hunt, 8.M.: la he.being charged?Detective-Sergeant McHugh: No, sir.Witness said'that the claim set out

details of the accident'and was accom-panied by plans. It also stated thatthis was it bad corner.

Mr. Hunt: That's where he waswrong. It its the other corner that isa bad one.

In the statement the claimant addedthat he had been toll! to take somefriends for a ride in a car.

Mr. Dickson (appearing for Fraser):It was the insurance company that wastaken for a ride. (Laughter.)

Detective McWhirter produced a state-ment made by Fraser in which headmitted th/lt the "accident" was amythical one.

Hay and Fraser pleaded guilty to thecharge and were both committed to theSupreme Court for sentence.

The hearing of the remaining chargesagainst these and other accused wasadjourned until Monday.

CRIME DETECTION.

NOTTINGHAM LEADS

THE YARD "ANTIQUATED."

LONDON, January 27.The most up-to-date and completely

equipped crime detection unit inBritain, which in .a dozen directionsmakes the greatly boosted methodsemployed by Scotland Yard appearantiquated, is situated at Nottingham,whore the local criminal investigationdepartment has put up in the last fouryears a laboratory incorporating almostevery modern scientific development fortracking down the criminal. Jt can bearcomparison with that of any of thefamous European organisations whosemethods in some cases have beenadopted and improved upon. Yet fouryears ago the crime detection equip-ment at Nottingham consisted of onemicroscope! Now three extensivelaboratories are filled with scientificappliances. Ultra-violet and infra-redapparatus has been installed for classi-fying and identifying such things asblood stains and' examining ink stains,handwriting, fabrics, and dyes. Oneinstrument used for identification pur-poses will cut across sections of thehuman hair. Another liquefies driedblood stains, at the same timeseparating the blood corpuscles from theserum.

Every scientific device in theselaboratories has a definite practicalvalue proved by experience. "We do notclaim that science alone capturescriminals," declared Inspector Tent-land, who is in charge of the labora-tory. "It is the combination of scienceand the old detective skill and know-ledge of criminals which produces theresults."

To enlarge his experience of scientificcrime detection, Captain Popkcss, thechief constable of Nottingham, recentlymade a tour of all the important policeorganisations in Europe. He visitedcrime laboratories at Vienna, Lyons,Prague, Dresden, and Berlin. Now heis reproducing the pick of the Conti-nental methods to add to his alreadyextensive improvements at Nottingham.His laboratory staff includes a biologist,microscopist, physicist, chemist, and aradio expert. He also has at his dis-posal professors in all sections ofphysics, chemistry, and pharmacy atthe University of Nottingham. Scien-tific evidence is being given almost dailyin courts in the Nottingham area.

It is not merely the more spectaculartypes of crime, such as murder-, whichare being detected by the new methods.They aro being applied to all types ofcrime. Here are a few cases whererecently convictions have been madepossible through the crime labora-tories:—

Special caets of jemmy marks whichcorresponded with the jemmy found onan accused man led to a conviction forhousebrcaking. Identity of an anony-mous "letter writer was disclosed by amicrophotograph, which showed plainlywhere additional etrokes had been made.A counterfeit coiner was betrayed by aninstrument called the spectograph, whichrevealed that particles discovered in hiehair were base metal. This spectographdetects with uncanny precision anycounterfeit coinage. Photographs aretaken with it which show a certainseries of lines for every clement. Basemetals are at once detected when theplate is compared with that of the truemetal.

The Nottingham force has also de-veloped its own improvements of finger-print photography. For the first timein England fingerprints can now bephotographed directly. Instead of theusual method, involving three processesand taking four or five hours, there isnow only one process, which takes buta few minutes.

The walls of the laboratories are linedwith shelves containing every chemicalneeded for scientific police experiments.A range of microscopes, one of whichalone cost £150, are available for deli-cate examinations. Both bloodstains andhair of every wild and domestic animalhave been classified and filed for refer-ence. Every known variety of grassseed in the Nottingham area is listed.Every fibre known in brush making andthreads of different fabrics have beenmounted and filed. Further, every serv-ing police officer in the area has passedthrough a course of lectures on scien-tific crime detection. ,

The use of radio to fight crime hasbeen developed on a wide scale. Everypolice vehicle in Nottingham is equippedwith a two-way wireless system. Mes-sages can be received and transmittedby all police patrols. By means of theradio set on his desk the chief constablesits in. his office and keejxs in touchwith all road patrols.' A system ofblocking all streets in a given area im-mediately on receipt of a police messagehas helped to bring down the numberof house and shop breaking cases from318 in 1031 to 233 last year.

VAIN INGENUITY.

SOUTH AMERICA ELECTIONEERING

BUENOS AIRES. February 10.The ingenuity of the Provincial party

politicians—or the wire pullers amongthem charged with the delicate task ofseeing that the people vote right—wasagain displayed in the recent electionsin tiie province of Tucuman, accordingto Press reports from the scene of action.

Faced with insuperable difficultiesin working the "chain vote" and otherdevices to insure "correct" votingbecause of the precautions taken againstthem, these gentry came to the conclu-sion that the next best thing was to seethat the doubtful voter did not vote atall. Ten pesos was fixed as a suitablesweetener to the citizen who wouldforego his right to the franchise. Accord-ingly he was given half a ten peso bill(neatly severed by scissors) previous tothe election day, and the other half washanded to him later when he producedhis identification card lacking the officialstamp which it would have carried if hehad entered the polling booth.

Judging by the number of joined tenpeso bills now in circulation, consider-able . business was done in Tucuman.The sad thing, of course, is that theopposition candidates won the electionjust the same.

SOVIET SHOPPING.

NERVE-WRACKING WORK.

QUEUES, QUEUES AND STILL MORE

MOSCOW, February 12.One of the most nerve-wracking yet

educative experiences in the workingsof the Socialist system as practised inthe U.S.S.R. is a shopping expedition.In Stalin's latest address on the stateof the Union the passage that receivedthe loudcet and most prolonged applausereferred to what he termed the "super-cilious" contemptuous attitude towardtrade," which prevailed in the ranks ofa certain section of the Communists. Hedeclared that the Bolsheviks apparentlydid not realist that those engaged intrade, including those behind the coun-ter—if they worked honestly—were im-portant vehicles of the "cause."

Most foreign families in Moscow, eventhose consisting of man and wife only,are compelled to employ one servantwho devotes Jus entire time to buyingsupplies for the table. This is due tothe peculiar workings of the Sovietretail system, all of the ramifications ofwhich arc either owned and operated bythe State, by the trade unions, or col-lectively by some particular group. Theforeigners actually fare much betterthan the rank and file of the Russianpeople, due to the fact that special shopshave been provided for the foreignerswhere the service is somewhat improved.But even in these shops it is a matterof spending most of the day standingin queues; queues before the bread coun-ter, queues before the meat counter,queues before the canned goods counter,queues before the butter and cheese de-partment; queues, and queues, and stillmore queues. Also there is no deliveryservice, hence every housewife mustcany a large bag in which all purchasesmust bo carried from one counter toanother, and one shop to another, andthen home.

Every purchase involves three distinctoperations., each of which necessitatesthe standing in queues. First yougradually work your way up to theparticular counter or department andafter you have attracted the attentionof the harassed clerk you select whatyou wish, but you do not take it nwaywith you. You only obtaiu a little slipot paper containing a notation about theprice. This little slip of paper mustthen be taken to another part of theshop where another long Lno of peopleare trying to attract the attention ofthe cashier. 'After handing over the pur-chase price the customer ic> then providedwith another slip of paper consisting ofa receipt.

Then one returns to the original coun-ter again and rejoins the queue, andafter the attention of the clerk has beenattracted and the slip handed in theparcels aro then wrapped and handedover. These three operations must berepeated for each purchase if the goodsdesired aro in different departments. Thewriter made a thorough test of this

system, and it required nearly two fulldays to purchase provisions needed fora teTi-diiy trip. A recent oflicialannouncement of the opening of a newgrocery store provided with cash regis-ters in each department created a eensa-tion. Russian cashiers, even in theollicial State Bank, still use the Chinesestyle abacus in making their calcula-tions.

As Moscow is the capital and frontwindow of the nation, more lias beendone to develop retail distribution herothan elsewhere, but even though sup-plies are much more plentiful than pre-viously the number of shops is entirelyinadequate for the population, adequateproof of which i« provided by the longlines of people, often extending a quarterof a block before the front doors. Theoflicial Moscow "Daily News" reportedon October 26 that the employees ofthe large Moscow plant had them-selves gone into the country on their"rest days" or holidays and assisted inthe gathering and storage of sufficientcabbages, carrots, beets, turnips, andpotatoes to run them through the winter.

SHORTAGE OF SERVANTS.

GERMON TAX REBATE TLAN,

BERLIN-, February 12,Berlin, for the first time in history,

is suffering from a shortage of servantgirls, first-class sales ladies, and efficientstenographers. This is due mostly tothe fact that persons out of town arenot allowed to take jobs in Berlin untilall the unemployed in the capital havebeen given jobs.

Servant girls are in great demand,because for every servant employed theemployer gets a tax rebate of close on10 per cent. The wages of the girls arelow, and they are not spoilt as to foodby their employers. Consequently ser-vants are a rather advantageous invest-ment in which many Berliners indulge.Servants are so scarce now that theauthorities are allowing unemployed ser-vants to migrate from the smallesttowns to Berlin.

RADIO LISTENERS.WHAT DO THEY WISH ?

AUCKLANDERS' REQUESTS

COMMENTS BY MINISTER.

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter. )

WELLINGTON, Friday

A promise to endeavour to meet therequest for the appointment of two lis-teners' representatives on the newBroadcasting Board was given to-dayby the Postmaster-General, Mr. Hamil-ton, in reply to a deputation whichwaited on him from the United Lis-teners' Club, Auckland. Mr. Dean, whointroduced the deputation, said it com-prised 3000 members, and. was formedfor the protection of listeners and theamelioration of conditions. It did nocrepresent any proprietary interests orany B station organisation.

The president, Mr. Thompson, con-gratulated the Minister on the. proposalto establish the new board, because thepresent board was a watertight com-partment and could never be approachedby the listeners, who were providing allthe revenue for the service. There wasdissatisfaction among the listeners, andthis was due to the absence of directrepresentation of listeners on the board.It might bo possible also to give Bstations representation on the board.Where interests had representation theyhad "no kick coming."

Mr. Hamilton: I can appreciatelisteners having representation, but whatwould be the justification for giving Bstations representation?

Two Members Wanted.Mr. Thompson suggested that if

listeners were given representation theMinister should obtain recommendationsthrough recognised listeners' clubs.

The Minister: What representationwould listeners want?

Mr. Thompson: It is suggested, onefor the North and one for the South.

The Minister: Are there not twice asmany licenses in the North as in theSouth.

Mr. Thompson: Yes, but that does notmatter. All we are concerned with, isrepresentation.

According to Mr. Dixon, the treasurer,the listeners were dissatisfied with theprogrammes and wave-lengths. "It isone continual complaint," he declared,"and I come in contact with listenersregularly."

"Not Wise to Elect Board."Replying, Mr. Hamilton said the Gov-

ernment wanted to do the right thingby broadcasting. It would"not be wisefor listeners to elect a board andthrough it control the business them-selves. It was difficult to have a pro-gramme that pleased everybody, but thestations were trying to meet the re-quirements of varied tastes. The Gov-ernment had to trust to expert advisersin wave-length matters, and he thoughtthat as soon as everything had beenadjusted the change made some time agoin wave-lengths would be proved to beto New Zealand's advantage.

"I shall give the request for theappointment of a listeners' representa-tive favourable consideration," headded, "and shall ask Cabinet to seewhat can be done to meet that request."He went on to say that B class stationsand radio dealers were on a differentfooting from listeners' clubs. He agreedthat members of. the-board would pre-serve contact Vitii listeners and explaindecisions to them. The suggestion thatthere should he two listeners' represen- ,

tatives, one from the north and onefrom the south, was not unreasonable,and he would endeavour to meet theproposal.

ELAM ART SCHOOL.

FAREWELL TO ME. CHAMP.

A large number of the crowd on thePrinces wharf to farew"ell the Monowaiyesterday afternoon on its departure forSydney had gathered to say good-byeto a popular instructor at the ElamSchool of Art, Mr. Stephen Champ, who,together with Mrs. C'hamp and theirchild, left for England via Australia.

Arriving from England in 1931 to jointhe staff at Elam, Mr. Champ has sincebeen in charge of the etching class, asection which had lapsed for some time.During this time he has proved a capableand competent instructor.

Mr. A. J. C. Fisher, principal of theschool, together with Mrs. Fisher andmembers of the staff, were among thewell-wishers on the wharf, and Mrs.Champ was the recipient of a large num-ber of bouquets.

A four-roomed house owned by Mr.Ronald Goldsmith, at Otakiri. was com-pletely destroyed,by lire yesterday after-noon. The tire started in an attachedwashhouse. Neighbours were able tosave the furniture from the front rooms,but the flames could not ho cheeked.The house was insured with the SouthBritish Company for £350. The furni-ture was not insured. .

BOUND FOR POLANDCONSUL'S MISSION.

GOOD CUSTOMERS TO N.Z

WOOL BUYING INCREASING.

Consul-General for Poland in Australiaand New Zealand, Mr. L. de Noskowskiis a through passenger by the liner Mari-posa on his way to Poland on businessconnected with the proposed trade treatybetween Australia and tlie country ofhis birth. Although, as his title ofoffice/ implies,* Mr. de Noskowski isPolish consul for New Zealand, he. hasnot visited the Dominion since the endof the war, when he was with Pade-

rewski on business connected with thereorganisation of Polish relief funds. Heintends to make a comprehensive tour-of New Zealand towards the end of thepresent year.

Commenting on his present mission,Mr. de Noskowski said he had alreadycommenced negotiations for the proposedtrade treaty. These would be continuedin London and later at Warsaw.

"Poland is very little known in NewZealand, but we are buying more andmore wool from your country," he said."Two years ago the exports from NewZealand to Poland were negligible butthis season already 4500 bales of NewZealand wool have been purchased furPolish mills."

Speaking of the possibilities of profit-able trade between New Zealand and hiscountry, Mr. de Noskowski said that,according to the latest statistics, sixEuropean countries, including Spain,Australia, Switzerland and Norway, hadexported to the Dominion goods valuedat £311,000, and had taken in returngoods valued at only £10,000. Duringthe same period Poland had exportedto New Zealand goods, mostly artificialmanures, valued at £5200, but in returnhad purchased wool valued at £28,500.The export trade of Poland was likelyto grow, Poland's population was over33,000,000, making it the fifth largestcountry in Europe. With the gradualreturn to normal conditions in Poland,its overseas business was expanding yearby year and more and more wool wouldbe required. In his country keen interestwas taken in anything from either Aus-tralia or New Zealand. Scattered overNew Zealand there were between 300and 400 Poles, while in Australia thetotal was over 3000. In Chicago thePolish population exceeded half a millionand five Polish newspapers were pub-lished daily.

While in Poland, Mr. de Noekowskiwill give a series of lectures on Aus-tralia and New Zealand. To illustratehis lectures on the Dominion he willhave the help of three films loaned tohim by the New Zealand Government.-

Travelling with Mr. de Noskowski,who has been in Australia for two years,with headquarters at Sydney, is Mr.A. E. Dalwood, president of the Polish(Australia) Chamber of Commerce. Heis going to Poland in an advisorycapacity as business expert.

CASTOR BAY AREA

DEFENCE PROPOSAL.

PROCLAMATION REVOKED

STATE ABANDONS SCHEME,

The Government has decided not to! proceed with the scheme for developingfor defence purposes land proclaimed inthe Castor Bay area of the North Shore.A Gazette notice which was published inWellington on Thursday revokes theproclamation which was the subject ofprotests by property owners when theDefence Department took action underthe Public Works Act early last year.

The Minister of Defence, Mr. J. G.Cobbe, when interviewed, said the noticemeant that the Government was notgoing on with the scheme. The Depart-ment originally acquired six acres ofland, which was offered cheaply by theowner. Subsequent action was takenwith a view to acquiring further sec-tions in the same locality. It was thoproclamation relating to those additionalsections which was being revoked. Therewas no immediate intention of doinganything with the six acres, which wouliremain with the Department.

Satisfaction with the Government sdecision is being expressed in Auck-land. It was extremely gratifying thatthe Government had abandoned thescheme, said Mr. J. C. Rennie, memberof the Waitemata County Council forthat riding in which is situated thearea. The area was eminently suitablefor building sites —there were 32 sec-tions on the 20 acres —and also its re-sumption by the Government hadmeant the loss of a considerable sumin rates.

Under section 27 of the Public WorksAct, Mr. Ronnie added, the aban-donment of tlie defence scheme meantthat the area reverted to the erstwhileproperty owners, provided that theyhad not been paid compensation in themeantime.'

The area, which lies between Camp-bell's Bay and Castor Bay, was takenearly last year by the Government for"defence" purposes. At one stage itwas thought possible that tlie area wasbeing conserved for putting a seweroutlet there, but the Minister of De-fence, Mr. Cobbe, has assured the countythat the area was definitely for pur-poses of defence.

LIBRARY SYSTEM.AUSTRALIA AND N.Z.

"SERIOUS" TYPE OF BOOK

MORE POPULAR LASTCENTURY

A statement that the "serious" typeof book was more popular 50 yearsago than it is to-day was made thismorning by Mr. E. R. Pitt, chieflibrarian of tho Melbourne PublicLibrary, who, with Mrs. Pitt, is athrough passenger by the liner Mari-posa. Mr. Pitt is to visit the UnitedStates, Canada and England under atravelling grant made by the CarnegieCorporation of New York. His tour willoccupy six months and he will returnto Australia via Suez.

Mr. Pitt, who has been chief librarianat Melbourne for three and a'half years,said that during the depression bookson economics had been rend much morewidely than previously, and that thehard times had brought with them ademand for more serious reading mat-ter generally. A recent survey, however,had shown that what could be classedas "serious" books had been more indemand 50 years ago. He made it clearthat he was referring in this respect toprovincial and country district libraries.

The Melbourne reference library, hesaid, averaged between 2000 and 30Q0readers a day, and at times all the 400seats available to visitors were occu-pied. The library, with over 500,000books, had the best collection in Aus-tralia. Mutilations and the lost bookproblem had been the cause of sometrouble since the war, possibly due toa general slackening in public morale,but the losses to the library each yearwould hot be more than 100 books.

Recent Survey Valuable.Mentioning that he had made a tour

of libraries in Australia with Mr. RalphMunn, of Pittsburg, Mr. Pitt expressedthe hope that the survey of New Zea-land libraries recently made by Mr. Barr,Auckland librarian, and Mr. Munn wouldbear fruit. The report on the Australianlibrary system had created considerableinterest and was likely to result inmuch pood. "Our report,. which dealswith the library situation in Australia,was very scathing," he said. "We foundthat in the matter of libraries Australiais verv backward."

The library system in New Zealand,said Mr. Pitt, was rather better than inAustralia, where the Government wasmore centralised and to a large extentcramped the development of a nationalsystem. Under the system in force inAustralia the Government concentratedits energies on the main centres. Itwas now suggested that library develop-ment work should be undertaken bymunicipalities and that local librariesshould lie controlled by municipal coun-cils. At the present time the librarieshad to "live" on their subscribers, onlya few municipal councils giving anyassistance, Under such a system only alimited portion of the population couldtake advantage of the reading matterprovided.

"MISERABLE WAY."

MONEY EMBEZZLED.

PATENT AGENT VICTIMISED.

DECEASED MAN'S ESTATE,

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

DUNEDIN, Friday,

A deficiency of over £1300 was shownin the bankrupt estate of the lateRobert Wales, patent attorney, inrespect to which a creditors' meetingwas held yesterday.

The assignee stated that the numberof creditors was very largo, mostly con-sisting of persons who had entrusteddeceased with tho task of obtainingpatents. The public was entitled to askwhy the position was not knownearlier. The fact was that about £1000belonging to deceased's Wellington officehad been embezzled. Wales had notprosecuted the offender because, onaccount of tho nature of his business,he had feared actions for damages.

"This man embezzled money in amiserable way," said the assignee, "andlanded Wales : i thie trouble. The wholething was a tragedy as regards Wales."

The position in regard to patents, theassignee adled, was most unfortunate,not only for the local creditors, butfor others more distant. It was statedthat the position seemed to be thatpatents in Wales' hands had actuallylapsed.

The estate was left in the hands ofthe assignee.

"CAT" BURGLAR.

WAREHOUSE VISITED.

CLIMB TO HIGH WINDOW.

DARING FEAT EXECUTED.

Last night the big warehouse ofKempthorne, Prosser and Company,Limited, New Zealand Drug Company,in Albert Street, was entered by a dar-ing burglar of the "cat" or climbingvariety. Several drawers and desks inthe office on the second floor were forcedopen by the intruder, who was evidentlyin search of money. None was found,however, a small quantity of tobaccobeing the only stock taken.

Tho high, spiked gates leading to theyard from Federal Street were scaledby the burglar, who afterwards used aplumber's ladder to climb on to the roofof the acid shed which adjoins a lean-toor roof protecting the goods entranceto the warehouse. From here the bur-glar had to walk along a sloping parapetat the foot of a high brick wall, on thetop of which is embedded in the con-crete a plentiful supply of brokenbottles.

Running the risk of falling on to thebroken glass, the "cat" burglar success-fully climbed up two sets of down-pipes,placed closely together, and prised opentho window on the second floor. This ledhim into the main office, where a thoroughsearch was made for money. It is be-lieved that he made his exit by "shin-ning" down the pipes, as all doors ofthe warehouse were securely locked andcould not be opened from the inside.

Mr. F. C. Brown, chief poultry in-structor of the Department of Agricul-ture, retires at the end of April, afterabout 30 years' service with thoDepartment.

BUYING BLANKETS.

POINTS TO REMEMBER.

It is at this time of the year thatmost housewives, eager to take advan-tage of the sales, set about adding tothoir stock of blankets in readiness forthe cold weather months ahead. Butit is not always a wise policy to be toointent on securing a bargain whenblankets must be bought; if they are tobe expected to give good service forseveral years many more points thanthe proportionate cuts shown on theprice ticket must tie carerully con-sidered.

First of all, there is the matter ofweight to be taken into account. Howoften do you hear a particular brandor quality of blanket praised because itis "such a good, heavy one"? Butthat is all wrong. Because a blanketis heavy doca not mean it is goodquality—often quite the reverse. Prob-ably it will mean that cotton has beenallied with wool in the manufacture ofthe blanket to give it extra—and utterlyuseless—weight. For it is the blanketsof moderate density that arc thewarmest and most satisfactory fromthe health point of view; though itseems a curious anomaly, they arc farcosier than blankets which are veryclosely woven and dense. And toomuch weight causes sleeplessness.

So the first rule on blanket buyingis to steer clear of heavy cloths. Thesecond is to stick to wool. Wool andcotton mixtures seem cheaper on theface of it, but they are often a falseeconomy, for they have not the samewarmth—and therefore more pairs willbe needed—and they do not give thesame service.

The border offers an excellent menusof testing the quality of a blanket. Gaycoloured borders are often taken toregister quality, but that is anotherfallacy. They do not. The test isthe evenness of the stitching and thesmoothness and firmness of the hems.Always examine the borders closely,especially the corners and the extremeedges. If the stitching is even and thecorners neat and strong, you can almostcertainly count on the blankets beinggood buying.

Another point to beware of is extremefhlffluess. Those very fluffy blanketsoften to be seen at surprisingly lowprices are best loft alone. For theyare artificially raised in the mills togive them this attractive appearance tothe unsuspecting. Actually, the fluflhiessis an indication of a coarse ground.Then, too, see that the blankets arc freefrom black—or semi-black—hairs beforeyou buy them. And avoid very coarse,irregular weaves.

Washing New Blankets.In districts badly infested with flies

it is often necessary to wash the newblankets before putting them on thebeds. For some reason—probably thetrace of greasiness remaining in thenew wool—blowflies will attack' brandnew blankets, though they will nottouch them once they have beenwashed. The best way to wash thesenew blankets is to soak them first ofall in cold salted water. A good soak-ing in this way is a cure for greasiness.Afterwards the blanket should be givena proper washing, in tepid water thistime. Make a lather of good mild soap,shredding it and melting with hot waterto which a little ammonia has beenadded. And add some borax to thewashing waters; this is an excellentcleansing agent, and will help to keeptho blankets a good colour. Rinsethoroughly—this is most important, forthe wool will cling tenaciously to thesoap, and if it is left in the blanketswill become stiff and hard, and an uglysoiled yellow. After the final rinsing,wring out as well as possible, fold theblanket in half, and peg the two edges'about four inches over a taut clothesline to ensure its drying in shape. Itshould be hung where it •will catch abreeze if possible, and should be shakenand turned from time to time while. itis drying. Afterwards it can be beatenwith a clean carpet beater to bring upthe soft, fluffy pile again.

RICH COLOURS IN PLAlD.—Typical of the rich colour combinationbeing chosen for the new plaided taffeta blouses is the one at the leftin black, green, orange, with Self-covered buttons. At the right, aninterestingly seamed neckline with collarless cowl arrangement is shown

in lime green crepe. The buttons are glass.

It appears that the receptionand luncheon tendered by the City lastyear to the late King of Iraq cost over£2100— cigars being put down at £114,and tin: menus alone, gorgeously deco-rated for the occasion, costing £105.Also, the banquet given by the City tothe World's Economic Conference coat£2100, food and drink accounting for over£1000.

People who cannot shut their eyes tothe large amount of destitution and in-dustrial misery still prevalent at Homeare much distressed by these dis-closures) and are asking bitterly whyso much money should be wasted onluxuries while so many suffer for want.O:' the barest necessities of life. Ofcourse, the controversy is endless and'the problem practically unsoluble, andI raise the question now, not with anyhope of answering it but because it hasbeen asked with a good deal ofemphasis in Sydney during the pastweek.

Ashton—Anderson.There has been a wedding here—not

an ordinary wedding, hut the sort ofcelebration" that provides all sociallydistinguished people, who have the least,chance of being invited, with eageranticipations for months before, andhappy" reminiscences possibly for yearsafter" The "parties of the lirst part"were Miss Irene Anderson and Mr. .limAshton, and to anyone who lias livedeven for a short time in this city andkept his eves and ears open, the namesare sufficient. Miss Anderson is thebeautiful daughter of wealthy parents,and one of the most distinguished mem-bers of '-Sydney's "younger set." Herfather, it is true, made his money "intrade" as the purveyor of a particularlyattractive brand of hat to the Aus-tralian public; but as he made plenty ofit, no one inquiries about the sourceand origin of the family fortunes. MissAnderson's mother was the daughter ofSir John Lee, and a famous personalityin our political world; and as Mrs.Anderson's sister is Lady Horden, thereis no doubt about the family's socialstanding.

As to the other contracting party, Mr.Jim Ashton also belongs to a familyabout whose social and financial statusthcro can be no possible question. The

Hon. James Ashton started life as anewspaper editor and a disciple of HenryGeorge. When fairly launched on hiscareer he was converted into a bankchairman and an M.L.C. Now, havingretired from active contact with publicaffairs he periodically writes long andserious letters to the "Sydney MorningHerald," and is generally accepted - asthe natural guardian of all the mostsacred traditions of colonial Conser-vatism. His wife, Mrs. Ashton, 0.8.E.,is known throughout Australia- for herdevotion to British Imperialisms she is

known to Sydney as one of its mostkindly and generous hostesses, and elieis even better known on every polo fieldin the State, where her stentorian cry,"Come on, Goulburn," has many a timerallied her four stalwart sons at thecrisis of a hard-fought game and turneda doubtful struggle into a glorious vic-tory.

Famous Polo Team.For though Mr. and Mrs. Ashton have

undoubtedly distinguished themselvesIn other walks of Hie, their chief chumto renown, in the eyes of most Austra-lians, is that they are the parents ofthe "Goulburn boys," Jim, Geoff., Boband Phil, who a. few years ago touredthe world as a polo team and provedthemselves able to test to the utmostany combination of players that couldbe'fielded against them ill Europe, Asiaor America. It is Jim Aehtou, the eldestof these young men, who married MissIrene Anderson last week..

Of course the Ashtons, like the An-dersons, are wealthy. The family hasowned several stations, and the newly-married couple will settle down on oneof these, after their honeymoon which,by the way, is to be spent touring NewZealand. Under all these circumstances,it was confidently expected that thewedding, which in any case would be oneof the most "socially important" func-tions of the year, would also be one ofthe most gorgeous and splendid.

Calculating Cost.Certain ungracious people have gone to

the trouble of calculating exactly how-much the celebration would cost, andhow the money would be expended. Over500 guests were invited, and it followsthat the wedding breakfast and floraldecorations would cost at least £1000.Each of these guests, both men andwomen, would need to be appropriatelyattired, and "wedding garments for suchan occasion would range from £20 forthe mere men" to as much as £100 ;i

piece .for their wives and daughtersThis would incur a total outlay of, onclothes' alone from £10,000 to£15,000. Miss Anderson's trousseau, it

is asserted, has cost at least £1500; andit is believed that the wedding presentsrepresent at least another £5000—thatis, from the guests and friends alone,without counting the more personal andprobably the more valuable i'vtnily giftfi.If you put these figures together, youdiscover that this wedding may havecost quite £20,000—and this may bean "inside figure". rather than anexaggeration. •

Of course it is a large amount ofmoney, and it is some consolation toreflect that even if expenditure onluxuries is not, - economically speaking,quite "sound," still it means the circu-lation of a large quantity of purchas-ing power and consequent stimulation oftrade. If there are. still people whofind themselves impervious to thesearguments, I can only ask them toremember that last year the city ofLondon j>aid £114 for King Feisal'scigars, and expended £2000 on "foodand drink" at one enormous meal forthe delegates of the World EconomicConference.

LEAGUE OF MOTHERS.The monthly meeting of the St.

Helier's branch of the League ofMothers was held in the Peerless Hallthis week, many members being present.Mrs. Norman was elected ne treasurerto (he league for the following year.The speaker for the afternoon was Mrs.Michel, who chose for her subject '•In-spirations for the incoming year."

LEONARDO DA VINCI.

ADDRESS AT WRITERS' CLUB.■

"Leonardo da Vinci might well bestyled the forerunner of the marvelsof science and art which to-day areaccepted almost as commonplace," saidMrs. Isabel M. Cluett in an address tothe Writers' Club on Friday afternoon."He is believed by many to be themaster painter of his age even thoughit be born? in mind that his contem-poraries and rivals in art were suchmen as Michael Angelo, Buonarotti andRaphael Santi." Da Vinci, the speakercontinued, was best remembered by hismasterpiece of art, the fresco, in therefectory of the Convent of Santa Mariadelle Grazic, depicting the Last Supper,and his portrait of the Mona Lisa. Hisgenius was so many sided that therewere few fields in which lie did notadventure, his list of gifts includingpainting, sculpture, literature, engineer-ing, chemistry, architecture, aero-nautics, and many other branches ofscientific knowledge. Years of labourwere spent in perfecting and rejectingone flying machine aftc.- another. Allhie attempts to master the air failedbecause he had only man power onwhich to depend for the manipulationof the wings. Noble patrons engagedhis services in various capacities becauseof the versatility of his gifts.

A YARD OF BROCADE. —

Constance Godridge, British filmstar, saw the gold and blackbrocade in Paris, bought it, cut itcleverly, and made this attractiveevening jumper. It has a low Vback formed by two long endscrossing and being brought to thefront to be held by a crystal

buckle at the waist.

RECOVERY OF MAZIR,

CANDIDATES FOR OPOTIKI.

J. H. Wallace's Mazir having recoveredfrom the effects' of a rick in . the stifle>resumed work on Tuesday- morning andmoved along smoothly. On account of theenforced let-uphe will not be able to com-pete at the Waikatp or Ohinemuri meet-ings. He has been nominated for events atTauranga and will make the Bay .of Plentytrip.

Having shown some aptitude in jumping,Mr. C. G. Wyborn's D'Artagnan has-joinedE. C. Rae's team at Ellerslie. All going■well, lie may be seen out over the obstaclesat the Auckland winter meeting.

It is worthy of note that the first fourevents at the Franklin meeting on Satur-day were won by horses bred in the TeAroha district, which year by year providesmany contestants that get on the winninglist. King Musk and Miss Lu were bredby Mr. R. B. Hines, of Te Aroha West,Queen Nona by Mr. R. Burke, Waihou,and Record Flight by Mr. Rhodes Wallace,Te Aroha. •

Mrs. R. Taylor's ■ Routine Flush and C.E. Mallowes' Mustang are intended to raceat the Opotiki meeting on- March 20. - Ontheir way back it is likely they will com-pete at the Tauranga fixture. Both areexecuting, satisfactory work and shouldehow up prominently during the trip. •

Rona Bay was only started once atPukekohe, it having been .concluded thatthe Musketoon filly, is not. forward enoughin racing condition to cope with, the candi-dates that have had much', longer preparar-tions. She was brought back here" onTuesday and looks all the better for herouting.

Keith Lu, in A. E. Cox's stable, ransomewhat disappointingly at . the localmeeting, but has since been executing verysatisfactory work oni the tracks. He is notaverse to a turning course, so should raceprominently at Paeroa next week.

LIVERPOOL NATIONAL.

THE WEIGHTS DECLARED

GOLDEN MILLER ON TOP

The Liverpool Grand National Steeple-chase will be decided at Aintree on Friday,

March 29, and sixty entries were received,against 73 last year and 66 the year before.The record was in 1929, Gregalach's year,when 121 horses were entered and 00 wentto the post. Since the entries closedForbra, who won in 11)32, was fatallyinjured.

The lowest weight that can be allottedis 10.7 and the iiignest 12.7, and GoldenMiller, who fell in when carrying 12.2,and won last year with a similar impost,has been awarded the maximum, and,despito his burden, he is likely to be verystrongly fancied again. Thomond 11. isnext with 11.13, and, after finishing thirdlast year with 12.4, he will also be taucied.Noiseau won the Champion: Chase, twomiles seven and a half furlongs, at Aintreelast March with 12.0, and with 11.9 Eng-lish writers do not think that he is by anymeans thrown in. Royal Ransom (11.8),who like Thomond 11., is owned by theAmerican sportsman, Mr. J. H. Whitney,has won three two-mile hurdle events thiisseason and has yet to be tested over theAintree country. Avenger this season wonthe Highiield Handicap Chase, three miles,at Birmingham, the Grand Allies' Handi-cap Chase, three miles, with 11.6, at Man-chester, the Lancashire Chase, three milesand a half, with 11.12, on the same course,the Coleshill Chase, three miles, with 12.0,at Birmingham, and the Quoin Chase,about three miles, with 12.4, at Leicester.He has 11.7 and has not yet been tried atAintree. Oeil de Boeuf is a French entry.■Reyrioldstown (11.4) won the BelvoirChase, two miles, with 11.10.at Leicesterthis season and later captured the Lam-bourn Chase, three miles, at Newbury,with 11.12. Delaneige (11.2) was fourth.rathe-Liverpool Grand.National in.1933 with113 and was second to Golden Miller lastyear with 11,6; He was actually first overthe last fence on that occasion, lie liasbeen second in three other races since

then and will have support. Remus (11.2)has contested the last two GrandNationals, being twelfth and tenth, with1112 and 11.9 respectively. Really True(10 13) was second to Kellsboro Jack with10 12 in 1033, but fell last year. SouthernHero, Master Orange, Alpine Hut andReadv Cash all fell last year, while Slater(10.7), who ran third in 1933. with a simi-

'lar- impost,-was pulled up. Uncle Batt wasfifth last year with 10.13 and now has theminimum. The weights are:—Golden Miller 12 7 Aloxena . .10 7Thomond 11. 11 13 Bine Prince 10 7Xoisefiu . .11 0 Brave Cry .10 .

STABLE AND TRACK NOTES

HIS FIRST STARTTooley Street, having his first.race in

the Juvenile Stakes on Saturday at Motu-karara, came in for a fair measure of sup-port, but never looked like a winner. Startsing from wide' out, he was , badly placedround the turn, and he did exceptionallywell to finish so close;up as eighth, being ina bunch not for behind the placed division.He went in promising style and he maywin a stake before.the end of the .season.-.

. .". NEEDS RACING.Minerva!-'was strongly supported in the

Banks Peninsula Cup, but he gave hisbackers a poor run. He was well back upto the home turn, and though the fieldclosed up at this stage Minerval 'failed torun on. . He will need to- do a lot betterthan that to win, but the necessaryimprovement may come later on. Afterall, he has not been strung up yet, and hemay need more racing, after being off thescene for more than a year,

HER TURN ;WILL COME..'' Malvasia vdid bbst of the newcomers in.the Motukarara Juvenile Stakes last Satur-day (says a-southern'writer). After jump-ing out well she was in thcjfirst half dozenall the way, while, her smart dash at'thefinish came ffinly. .a istride too late; to earnthird money. Her turn - will come-soon.Malvasia is a 'Valkyrian three-year-old,trainedby J. B. Pearson, who also handledthe" filly's dam, Malmsey, a useful mare byClarenceiix from the 'speedy Charmilla, byCharlemagne 11. from Armilla, by Castorfrom Necklace, a three-quarter sister toMedallion, the sire of Achilles.

well connected:Convivial made friends by her form in

the Juvenile Stakes at the Banks Peninsulameeting. After being one of the leadersfrom the start, she had no chance whenOwlsgleam • appeared on the scene, afterreaching" the straight, but she, stuck onwell to stair off all other challengers. Sinceshe raced at Horbrata in December Convi-vial has' tad a'n' enfo'reed spell on accountof lameness, and she has not had a greatdeal of galloping, since she resumed .work.She can. be-improvedj and her winning turnshould'come.soon. She is a.three-year-oldby Lord Warden from Jazz Girl, by Kil-broney from Tango, by Vasco from Stepka,;by St. Leger from Stepfeldt, the dam of'some high-class horses, including Reputa-tion arid Elevation.

PASSION FRUIT'S SISTER.Passion Flower, winner of the Sapling

Stakes at Napier Park last Saturday, is athree-year-old-full-sister .toi Passion Fruit;and she carries the same, colours, those ofMr. O. Nelson. Last season she was oncesuccessful in her four- starts, scoring, atNnpier Park in-the spring; when she wasalso ridden by P. Atkins, who handled heron Saturday.. Previously this season shehad started four:. tinieS, her best ellort'being ft second to Quake at Hastings at theNew Year. Her dam, Los Vegas, was oneof the Flaxmere.mares, and at the dispersalof that stud, wKen. with foal at footedLord Quex (subsequently named PassionFruit) and served by Lord Quex, she wasoffered for sale, but .was withdrawn at210gs. She was later acquired privately byMr. Nelson. '■ •'

SIGNALLER SOLD.According to a southern report Mr. W.

E. Hazlett has purchased Signaller. It isreported that he paid £400 for,.. the bigBalboa gekling, for whom a jumping careeris said to be in store.

MONASTIC RESUMES WORK.The Pombal gelding Monastic, who has

been spelling since he raced at Oamaruearly in January, has again been put intowork by C. C. McCarthy at Riccarton.

TO CONTEST SPRINT EVENTS.It was a surprise not to find the name of

Golden Hair among the entries for theThompson Handicap, but last year's win-ner may make the trip to Trentham nextweek to contest sprint events. She hasbeen galloping brilliantly in her work atHawera and will strip in good order for thesouthern meeting. "

_

HAS PLENTY OF SPEED.Yera Acre, who was on the easy list a

short time ago, is in regular work againat headquarters. She has no immediateengagements, though she is well forward incondition and will be seen out in minorhack events at the autumn meetings. Thisfilly's track work indicates that she pos-sesses plenty of speed, and when she hashad a bit more a sprint eventshould not bebeyond her.

GOING ON SATISFACTORILY.Wee Pat has gone on the right way since

she raced at Pukekohe and has neverlooked better than at present. She wasnot handled to the best advantage at theabove meeting, otherwise she would havebeen-closer up at the finish. The racingWee Pat is getting 011 the Hat will serveto put her in great order for the approach-ing jumping season, when more moneyshould come lier wav.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.Since resuming work at Ellerslie nothing

of a serious nature lias been required 01Jewelled Girdle, but he is doing exception-ally well 011 the tasks allotted him. He-worked freely over a round on the tantrack 011 Thursday morning, traversing thelast half mile in 565. It is some time sincethe Kiibroney gelding had a race, but,judged by his Condition, lie will be in goodtrim for the winter meetings.

ENTERED ON SECOND DAY.Recent track work indicates that Jalldy

Karo is coming back to form again, whichlie demonstrated by running six xuriongson the No. 1 grass track at Ellerslie a fewmornings ago in smart time. It is sometime since this horse had a race, but hefigures in a high-weight handicap at theWaikato meeting on Monday. If startedhis prospects will have to be considered, ashe has previously raced prominently on theTe liapa course.

A PROMISING SORT.Mr. E. J.Watt has evidently got a good

sort in Osculum, a two-year-old gelding byDoris from Sister Vamp, who recently wasreturned the winner ot the Ingleby Xur-sery Handicap at Warwick Farm', Sydney.He carried 8.3 and traversed the live fur-longs and a halt' in 1.10 on a holding course.He is trained by l>. Lewis, of Sydney, whois not the only trainer patronised by Mr.Watt, as he has G. Price, F. T. Cush andG. P. Nailon also preparing several of

his representatives.

SPELL SHOULD BE BENEFICIAL.The stablcmates Gay Marigold and Lord

Yal are getting through plenty of usefulwork-at Ellerslie, and the latter is steadilyhardening in condition. Gay Marigold hashad a.short spell from racing and shouldbe all the better for it when she is askedto sport silk again. The fact that LordVal has registered his best performanceson heavy tracks decided his owner to spellthe gelding during the summer months, andthe treatment is likely to prove beneficialto the son of Valkyrian.

A SON OF COCKPIT.Contact, surprise of the Maiden

Scurry at Napier Park on Saturday, hadraced only once previously. That was anunplaced run at Hastings last winter. Inreports of the meeting his name appearederroneously as Contract, who is a differenthorse. Contract is a three-year-old son ofTea Tray and the Boniform mare Gardenia.Contact is a four-year-old chestnut geldingby Cockpit from Tractrix, by Tractor, andis trained by his owner, Mr. K. Gillies, ofWaimarama, on the East Coast.

HIS FIRST START.Frenchie, who had his first race in the

Motukarara Juvenile Stakes on Saturday,is one of the horses trained by E. Scoullarat Kiccarton for his Southland bleeder,Mr. W. T. Hazlett. He was not prominentat any stage of the journey, but probablynothing better was expected, as he is notat hi.s best yet (.says a -southern writer).His sire, Chief Ruler, usually stands forearly speed, but Freneliie's dam, MoulinRouge, by Ivilbroney from Uirectqire,comes from a family that has requiredtime.

DOING LIGHT TASKS.The injury that Imaniint received to one

of her forelegs some weeks ago has nothealed as quickly as expected, and conse-quently she is only doing light tasks atpresent. This mare- has been most unfor-tunate during her pacing'career,'minor ail-ments of one kind.or another necessitatinga halt in her preparation on several occa-sions. As Imamint is a proved performerwhen the ground is. soft it is to be hopedthat she will be fully recovered and backto her best for the winter season, as herowner. deserves a change of luck.

HACK CUP CANDIDATE.At Ellerslie on Thursday morning Sir

Abb ran the last mile of a round in1.45 3-5, which clearly proves that he hasgone on the right way since his success inthe Champion Hack event at Te Aroha.The Australian-bred gelding is one of themost improved hacks seen out during thecurrent season, and it would not surpriseto find him winning in good company lateron. He figures among the entries for theHack Cup to be run' at- Tc-Rapa on Mon-day, arid if he goes to the post solid sup-port is sure to be. forthcoming for him.

SYDNEY HURDLE RACES.There is' a rumour current in Sydney to

the effect that the Australian Jockey Club-r-convinced that- hurdle racing cannot "bekept clean—is seriously considering elimi-nating races for jumpers from all futureprogrammes. The club has consistentlyattempted to foster jumping at Randwickand Warwick Farm, but its efforts havenot been rewarded. Should the i hurdleevents be definitely wiped out (says the"Sporting Globe") there will be a "squealfrom certain sections; but the general pub-lic will reveal no disappointment. Inci-dentally, if the stewards continue theirpresent rate of progress in the matter ofdisqualifications and suspensions, therewill be few jumping riders left in Sydney.

SYNAGOGUE'S FUTURE.A champion on whom spurs or a whip

cannot be used in races—that in Syna-gogue, the New Zealand three-year-old,who at his first Australian start, dead-heated in the V.R.C. Futurity Stakes andwon the Elms Handicap in his next effort(says a Sydney writer). Synagoguesnew owner, Mr. J. A. Phillips, who gave1500gs for the colt in New Zealand, statedrecently that Synagogue's aversion tospurs was discovered there, but the whiptrouble was undisclosed until the Futurity."I don't think it will be possible to usea whip on him again," he said. Hisrider, Pratt,' told me after the race thatwhen he .hit Synagogue in the straight hehung away from the whip and then triedto savage Heros, who was alongside. Idid not enter' Synagogue for.'the Doncas-tef Handicap'because -he was so poorwhen he came from New eZaland that Ithought he woAild have "to be given animmediate spell. And even if Ido givehim a trip to Sydney I-will stick to. myintention riot to over-race him. before heis a four-year-old. Even with'added ageI ,do not believe Synagogue will everprove a -true stayer, for he seeuis to holdhis head a little too high, and that is thesign of a sprinter. But he will run, a-great mile, and Sydney racegoers ; mightsee him as a Doncaster. winner nextseason."

RUGBY FOOTBALL.

MARIST'S ANNUAL MEETING.

The retiring president, Mr. .T. FrnserSmith, in opening the annual meeting oftho Marist Old Boys' Football Club, at-tended by 100 members and supporters,referred to the poor showing made by thesenior team during the first round of thecompetition. However, the improvedform shown towards the end, together withthe fact that such a. fine young set ofplayers -were all available again, shouldgive encouragement for the ensuing sea-son. He said lie was glad, to see theteam win its way back Into the A'sectionfor 1935, which, coupled with'the know-ledge that Swin Hadley would be playingasain, should enable the team to retain Itsplace.

The secretary, Mr. ,T. H. Dayey, thenread a report on the _club - s activities dur-ing 1 1034, disclosing n satisfactory year.At this juncture Mr. Harry Frost, chair-man of the Auckland Kugby Union, wascalled upon to say a few words. He ex-horted those present to take their train-ing moderately, as Rugby football was agame which could not be played withoutii thorough preparation, and which' as aphysical exercise had untold benefits.

The annual report also extended its con-gratulations to W. Hadley for obtainingAll Black honours, and hoped that hewould make the team for England thisyear. The club had been fortunate inobtaining the assistance of good men ascoaches and extended their thanks to them.Special mention was made of the line workperformed during the season by the honor-ary masseur. Mr. J. Gough. . The financialstatement showed that the club had comethrough a trying year satisfactorily,mainly due to the splendid financial sup-port given by the vice-presidents, for whichthe club was extremely grateful.

A discussion ensued on the advisabilityof sending a team to the Spillane Cuptournament to be held this Easter atNapier. It was decided to send a teamcomprising those senior members availabletogether witli enough second grade playersto make the team. A practice for allgrades was then arranged for next Satur-day at Sacred Heart College grounds.

A vote of thanks was accorded the retir-ing officers, particular mention being madeof the valuable work done by Mr. B. J.Wright, who was vacating his position asdelegate after fire years' service on themanagement committee of the A.R.U.

PROGRESSIVE SIGNSAfter a long and patient period of

waiting for better times, during whichthe Arbitration Act has been practically.shorn of its power to settle disputesexcept with the consent of both parties,and an increase of wages to the workercould, only bo mentioned, withnSbatedbreath, it is cheering to record from weekto week successful efforts here and thereto bring about a greater spending poweron the part of the wage earners. Thisweek the Dominion carpenters have beenpitting in Conciliation Council in Wel-lington, and on Thursday a. completeagreement was reached, which will takeeffect from April 5. Rates of pay werefixed at 2/1 an hour. The hours of worklire to be the same as in the existingaward. Overtime is to be paid for attime and a quarter for the first threehours, and improvers' pay has beenincreased to 1/G an hour. The newiournevnien's wage is an increase of Idan hour over the present award rate,while the improvers also share in theincrease. There is cause for satisfactionjn this news, but it is not to be placedto the credit of the workers alone, forthe, employers must share in it. It isan evidence that employers are forsakingthe old mistaken principle that lower■wages make for the prosperity of thecommunity, and that settled workingconditions, upheld by law, means moreequitable basis for competition amongthemselves.

ELECTION ACTIVITIES.With less than two months to go

"before the municipal elections are uponus, parties and individuals are busygetting ready for the fray. From Pressreports I gather that activities on thepart of the Labour party are very pro-nounced just now. Never before hasthere been such marked interest takenby the workers_in local body elections.In previous years there has often beena difficulty in persuading enough candi-dates to

*

come forward for selection,and a smaller' number than the fullticket has been nominated. There isno paucity this year in the number ofaspirants for municipal honours, forthere are over 30 for 21 seats on theCity Council, while the other fourcontests have well over the requisitenumber for selection. For the cityMayoralty six; names have been sentin, from which the official candidate isto be by ballot of the delegates to theLabour Representation Committee. Theparty is to be congratulated on theintense interest evoked this year tosecure direct representation on the localbodies. In fact, it might be truthfullyasserted that Labour is the only partythat is doing any organising at all atpresent. Their "tickets" are the resultof nominations sent in by all the organ-isations, and from .these the selectionis made by ballot. On the other sidea self-constituted body asks certainpersons to accept nomination, theyproclaim no policy, have no platformand do not address the electors. Thestreets of the city and suburbs willecho the addresses of the Labour candi-dates prior to polling-day. The oldway, in my opinion," is too much of the"take me as I am" principle. Gronlund,in his "Co-operative Commonwealth,"points out the weakness of the system,when he -says that the person electedto a public position by the popularfranchise is the master of the electorsas soon as he is elected, and for theterm for -which he is elected, but whenhe comes up for re-election the peopleare his masters for a brief period only,and he becomes the suppliant.. Labourputs more safeguards against thisposition than any other party.

TERRORISM.Terrorism begets terror, remarks the

London Labour paper, the "DailyHerald." And of the taking of livesthere seems to be no end. This year hasbeen a black one-for Europe. The Juneslaughter in Germany, the murder ofDolfuss, the assassinations of Mar-seilles, the murder of Kiroff, the execu-tions in Russia, the Communist shoot-ings in Bulgaria, the bloodshed in Spain.That, 17 years after the Revolution, thoSoviet Government should still be resort-ing to secret trials and wholesale execu-tions is a shock to its friende, an assetto its enemies. That in the years ofrevolution there should have been terrorwas no surprise. It is deplorable; butit happens. Weak regimes ,figh'tihgdesperately with their backs to the wall,turn to desperate measures. But theSoviet regime to-day has not even thatinadequate excuse. It is strong andfirmly, established. Yet, under theprovocation of a single assassination;, itrevives the methods of the years ofrevolution. That is impossible tojustify.

FORCED LABOUR.The Bulgarian dictatorship has ordered

forced labour for all unemployedworkers. All unemployed men between20 and 50 years of asje must in futurework eight hours a day for the State,in return for their keep and 25 lewas(about 1/2) a day. The amount of workto be done in that time is laid down by(he Government. Undernourishedworkers who are unable to perform theallotted task within normal hours willhave to put 5n overtime at night and onSundays. The forced labour whichalready existed as "labour service" for

oung people (those who can afford itan buy themselves out) has thus been■ctended to the whole of the unem-loyed male population.

AMUSEMENTS.9

"SING-AS-WE-GO."Grade Fields has the voice and per-

sonality that make it easy for her to playthe part of a Lancashire girl i" her newpicture, " Sing-As-We-Go,,' which openedbefore a good house at the Regent Theatrelast evening. The background and generalatmosphere of the film are reminiscent of" HintUc Wakes," and Blackpool againprovides the colour and variety for muchof the merry-making. For Graciea plot seems hardly necessary, butthe producers have thought otherwise,and on this occasion they engaged thenovelist J. B. Priestley to write the screenstory. The result is an .artistic delight.Gracie appears in turn as one of the millgirls in a cotton-spinning town, then as awaitress at a holiday resort, next as afortune-telling impostor, and quickly inturn as a disappearing lady in a circusshow, a, human spider, an ice creamvendor and a music hall singer. Half thefun is provided by the way in which sheloses jobs as quickly ae she finds them,and by her use of the Lancashire dialect.The glimpse inside the fortune-tellingestablishment is a gem of its i kind, andthe best part of it all is Grade's way ofdealing with troublesome " clients." OneoE her type must be either indulging inexciting escapades, making fun of others,or drowning memories of the past in aflight of song. So it is all through. Inthe amusement park she is in her element,and the chase in -which she is pursued bya policeman over cakewalks, through crazyavenues and down slippery elides bringsa riot of laughter. And later, Gracie isthe cause of delightful, if embarrassing,moments at a bathing beauty display. Itwould be a mistake, of course, to inferthat she monopolises attention in thispicture, for the blonde actress, DorothyHyson, who carries off the honours in thebathing parade, is a charming figure. Andthere is John Loder, cast as manager ofthe cotton mill, who is a human and verylikable character. In the comedy parts,too, the .male element is strong, and thehumour never misses its point. The sup-porting programme is of a high quality.Features are scenes of Canada, Switzer-land, and rural England; a massed displayof Soviet athletes in the Square atMoscow; clever singing impersonations ata modern club, and an unusually impres-sive setting in which 'boy choristers areheard in an English cathedral. But bestof all is a cartoon of the Merry Melodiesseries in techni-colour. running to theaccompaniment of "Honeymoon Hotel,"an American dance tune.

CLEM DAWE SEASON.All the old favourites of the Clem i

Since women were eligible tovote in Wyoming even in those early days,the early ideas of the "feminine influencein politics afford many of the comedysituations of the picture.

IN ITS SEVENTH WEEK.For the production "One Night of

Raft arc the principals. On the pro-

gramme is also the delightful musicalcomedy, "The Regimental Lady," star-ring Tainara Desni.

CHARLIE CHAN AT THE CIVIC. IA highly attractive combination of I

mystery, comedy, music and novelty |items, the new programme at the Civie;Theatre last night for the current week's;entertainment proved completely satisfac-'tory to the largo attendance of patrons.]It has as its highlights the big Britishboxing sensation of last month—the defeatby the k.o. route of the Empire champion

■—and a Charlie Chan detective story ofthe seductive* thrilly type and fascination jwhich has made anything associated with 'this exotic sleuthing character highlyIpopular. The programme contains quitean uncommon number of points of inter-est which make a wide appeal. The queercharacter of Chan, conjured up fromHonolulu where East merges into Westwith strange results, fits Warner Olandlike a glove, and the curious faculty ofgiving a quaintly facile Oriental slant to'our Anglo-Saxon platitudes as a genialcover for probing tender spots in thebody impolitic is given fascinating expres-sion by this actor. With an air ofRotarian urbanity he disperses mystery ina ripple of smiles, dispels the thrill whendark deeds threaten to press too heavily,and produces the unsuspected villain witha humble apology. This latest CharlieChan episode is as intriguing as any ofits popular predecessors. The Petcrsen-Ncusel boxing match, which was the sen-sation of London about a month ago, isgiven in the Fox newsreel section, andshows the exciting nature of the fight inwhich the British champion was eventu-ally out-punched to the point of surren-dering in the eleventh round to his Ger-man adversary. Geneva in the summer-time is the subject of a charming travelpicture dealing with the famous lake andits boating and bathing attractions, theequally famous suspension car to the out-look over the alpine country, the historicwatchmaking industry and the equallynotable meeting place of the League ofNations. Comedy is represented by"Hello Sailors," a bluejacket v. marinespecial showing something very much outof the ordinary in the way of tap andacrobatic dancing, and "Stranger thanFiction" introduces patrons to queertrades, customs and events of many kindsthat are little known to the world ingeneral. For instance passports, withphoto and footprint, are required for dogsentering into Mexico. Something mightbe said there about Alsatians. An organand song scena by Barrie Brettoner (or-ganist) and Edna Murray (soprano) com-pletes a first class entertainment.

"ANNE OF GREEN GABLES."The charm of familiar things touched

with sentiment is in "Anne of GreenGables," which is the chief film of astrong series showing at the StrandTheatre. Anne herself is all that couldbe expected. Her eagerness to please,her determination that she will becomethe desired orphan, instead of the un-wanted one sent by mistake, her amus-ing yet pathetic method of "settling in"at Green Gables—all these make forlaughter and tears.

Anne Shirley is just the right age forthe part, too. She cleverly suggests thatshe is living instead of acting the role.And Tom Brown, whose voice is ratherlight for adult roles, is agreeably boyisha.s the lad who captures Anne's youngfancy and holds it for all time. Though thepicture has been compared with "LittleWomen," one may say that this is notsuch another screen classic. "Anne 'issentimental; therefore you may weep forher at times. The young people aresplendid, but O. P. Hcggie is too smooth,too syrupy as Matthew Cuthbert, andthe director at the end sacrifices art tosentiment. Helen Westley's MarillaCuthbert is clever, perhaps too clever forthis class of film. "Anne of GreenGables" has rharm, and L. M. Mont-gomery's capacity for creating a girl whoappealed to a million other girls is pre-served on the screen.

"EVELYN PRENTICE."The excellent picture "Evelyn Pren-

tice," showing at St. James' Theatre,attracted a large audience again last even-ing, and from beginning to end held thosepresent in its grip. William Powell andMyrna Loyl who were co-starred in '"TheThin Alan" arc again together, and theylive np to the popularity they scored in thefirst picture. "Evelyn Prentice" is adrama with all the ingredients which arepresent in a story full of tense situations.There arc all the elements of deep dramaand both Loy and Powell are responsiblefor some wonderful acting in the courtscene where Powell is defending a womancharged with murder, when his own wife.present in Court, becomes obsessed withthe conviction that she herself has com-mitted the crime. But there is one fact,and a vital one, that proves not only thefalseness of her confession, but clears theother woman of the charge. A strongscries of supports, which include news-reels, a short comedy and travel contri-bute towards the high-class entertain-ment.

"RETURN OF THE TERROR."Based on one of Edgar Wallace's

novels, "Return of the Terror," whichopened at the Majestic Theatre last even-ing, does full justice to the memory otthat famous author of mystery and"thrillers." The story is handled by anexcellent cast, with Mary Astor, LyleTalbot, John Halliday and Frank Mc-Hugh in the leading roles. Amid awelter of murder and suspicion, a wel-come touch of humour is introduced byFrank McHugh, as Joe, a newspaper re-porter who combines crime investigationwith an unconventional wooing. Thestory opens with the trial of Dr. Red-mayne, proprietor of a rest home formental cases, for 'the murder of severalof his patients by means of arsenic, thewholesale killings alleged against him earn-ing him the nickname of "The Terror.Found guilty, he consents, on the adviceof his counsel to plead insanity, and goesto the State asylum in preference to theelectric chair, his lawyer promising tohave the case re-opened as soon as he canfind evidence enough to clear him. Joeand Olga, his fiancee, are amongst thefewpeople who believe that Dr. Redmayneis innocent of the series of crimes attri-buted to him, but their investigationsmake little progress. Six months afterthe trial of Dr. Redmayne escapes from theState asylum, at the height of a storm,and reappears at his own hospital.Simultaneously, a series of murders com-mences there. Scola, one of the atten-dants, who had given damaging evidenceagainst Dr. Redmayne at his trial, is shotdead,-and counsel who defended him isstrangled, and Joe narrowly misses asimilar fate. On the bodies the policefind notes signed "The Terror." and, con-vinced that Dr. Redmayne is avenginghimself, search the house from roof tobasement. In committing a thirdmurder, that of Dr. Roinhardt, one of themedical assistants, the murderer makes afatal blunder, which the police seize uponas the vital clue which leads to the clear-ing up of the mystery of "The lerror.Some exceptionally interesting items arecontained in the Paramount newsreel ofthe outstanding events of 1934, includingthe Austrian riots and the assassinationof King Alexander of Yugoslavia at Mar-seilles. Another interesting him is astudy of badminton, demonstrated by"Jess" Willard, the American champion.There is also a humorous musical enter-tainment by Charles Ahearn and His Mil-lionaires, a Looney Tunes cartoon and a"Believe It or Not" newsreel.AVONDALE MUNICIPAL THEATRE

EXAMINATION RESULTS.

Our object in publishing a completennalvsis of H.C.A. successes at the 19.54Examinations was to demonstrates bynuoting concrete results, that therereallv are more advanced and morepractical methods available in NewZealand than was the case up to threeyears ago.

For the past two examinations(marking the two periods in which ourBYstem has been operative) H.C.A.students have overwhelmingly toppedthe list o£ successes in all mainAccountancy Subjects. Or rutting itanother way, for every 100 H.C.A.Students that sat there was a lowerproportion of failures than any otherCollege could show.

We do not just preach success—woinstil it. ami wo challenge any Collegeto put their figures alongbide ours: i.e.,subject for subject; 100 students tor100 students—and show the same highratio of passes as H.C.A.

Our complete analysis of all H.C.A.passes in all main accountancy subjects(not isolated subjects) has appeared in

this column for several weeks past,certified as correct by nn independentauditor.

THE UNBIDDEN GUESTS.VANDALISM AND THEFT.

(By M.E.S.)

In the backblocks we rather flatterverselves upon our hospitality, accept itas one of our duties and privileges tokeep what used to be called "openhouse" fox all who come. But we dolike that hospitality to be free andspontaneous; we resent it deeply whenit is enforced. It is a strange anomalythat makes a certain type of townsmanbelieve that he "can do as he likes"in the country, can enter your propertywithout permission, camp on it if thespirit moves him or his car refuses todo so, help himself to your wood—ifnothing else offers to your fencing bat-tens—to boil his billy and, if the luckis with him and the time of year per-mit, provide for his meal and his familyby shooting the game that has beenreared on your land.

Now, we happen to have certain pre-judices. One is that we do not allowany shooting upon the farm. We havea foolish love for the pheasant and quailthat invade our vegetables and havegrown so impudently tame as to be easyprey for any "sportsman." We havenotices to that effect planted here andthere on the road frontage of the bush,and have found that the only use towhich town invaders put them is toturn them upside down—this is a witti-cism of the subtler kind suited to ourbackblocks intelligence—or to use themas fuel. Because land is not cultivated,because we have idiotically and unprac-tically left it in the native bush thatwe love, it- appears to be commonproperty. One neighbour had a worseexperience. In the nearest town theyhave lately erected rustic fences andsummer houses of the- native pungatrees. Very cool and pleasant they lookon the smooth lawns of the park—buthis pleasure in them was considerablyalloyed when he found that for yearsthe borough supply had been boughtfrom a lorry driver who had persist-ently plundered his own bush. Such isthe penalty for possessing a tract ofbush upon a metalled road.

Vandalism."It is just a nice distance from town.

We go out on Sunday and fill the carwith ferns; you know, we simply lovethe bush." That, of course, is oneway of loving it. Nor is that the worst.These Sunday picnickers have a casualway of leaving you the aftermath oftheir feast in the form of empty beerbottles and pineapple tins. Your mostbeloved and secluded fern grove wearsan air of looseness and "the morn-ing after" too often on Monday morn-ing. }

But far worse in my opinion is thetrespassing for shooting purposes. Last

. winter I heard the sound of guns onone of the many wild parts of the farmand rushed out. But I was not soonenough to prevent an outrage. Theprevious summer a pheasant had curi-ously elected to lay her eggs in the nestof one of my wandering hens and hadthen fickly deserted them. The henhad painstakingly reared the baby phea-sants—and had retired, a nervous wreckat the end of the season. Her mentalsystem—never the strong point of adomestic fowl—had been permanentlyderanged by the enforced care of afamily that took long and unexpectedflights from her maternal side and re-turned thereto half an hour later.

The little pheasants had remainedremarkably tame. I could still pickthem up and let them loose in the air;they would inevitably return, eat all myfowls' food, and then partake of a light,but wholesome, dessert of strawberriesand tomatoes. In short, they were oneof the many pleasant and profitable petsof which the farm boasts. Now, threelay dead, just where they had stoodinquisitively to watch the newcomers.

We ha.ve a regular succession of theseself-invited guests, according to the timeof year. In the winter there are theshooting parties and those passersby whoare attracted by the sight of a field ofturnips and decide to take home a sack-ful. In the summer the picnickers areever with us, and now that early autumnis here we have the niushroomers, theWackbcrry-pickcrs, and those who like afew maizo cobs for tea. The lengths towhich these marauders would go soundsalmost incredible to your ordinary law-abiding townsman. It is nevertheless afact that a poor and very strugglingdairy farmer about ten miles out of townlost almost the whole of his pumpkincrop in this way. Parties of people cameout actually in lorries and raided the fewacres on which his cows were dependingfor winter feed. "Why couldn't he lookafter them?" His cottage was a quarterof a mile off the road, and even a dairyfarmer likes to snatch a few hours' sleep.However, when his maize cobs were dis-appearing in the same wholesale fashionhe was forced to inform the police, andthen received an indignant anonymousletter complaining that "the kindly oldbackblocks spirit of friendliness andgenerosity was a thing of the past."

Mushrooms we can spare and, if weallow blackberries upon our land wemust expect to have picnickers. Noone objects to the peaceable and law-abiding picnicker; it is the person wholoaves your gates open, wrenches thebattens off your fence, and forgets toput his fire safely out in a dry summerwhen we all walk daily in terror of fire,who is apt to prejudice the farmer anddestroy "the! fine backblocks spirit."

Retaliation.Some day we shall be forced to re-

taliate. Some day a party of countryfolk will descend upon the towns andpick flowers where the spirit movesthem, camp on trim lawns and expectunlimited boiling water for their needs.How brief would be our liberty, howbitter the comments upon country man-ners and backblocks boors! And reallywe would be being sadly misjudged.Kind hearts do still beat under our darkshirts and we would be glad enough tosee outsiders from town with freshnews and original opinions—but we aretired of the "type that has invaded uslately. The worst of it is that it is nota representative type. It is no moretrue to the ruling spirit of the townthan the much-caricatured, abysmallyignorant and be-whiskered farmer istrue to that of the country.

Yet there are some of the more ingen-uous of our country men and womenwho allow themselves to be prejudicedby the conduct of this offensive mino-rity. "What do they care about us?They think we're fools because we livein the country." Very often one hearsthe complaint and there is a touch ofbitterness behind it. "Only lit to be afarmer"; haven't you heard it said ofthe stupid member"of the family? Withthe growth' of scientific farming, withthe easier intercourse made possible byimproved roads and transport, the feel-ing is disappearing. The town under-stands the country better and gradu-ally, slowly, a ti-i/le sceptically, the

country is coming at last to appreciatethe town.

Views of Rural England, Including the Oldest Industry.

A series of views of rural England are presented to-day. They range from the far South to the Cumberland border. On the top left is a picture of the ancient oast house at Dode, near Great Buckland, in Kent. Dode neverrecovered from the effect of the Black Death in the fourteenth century. Below this h a scene at Langdon, North Yorkshire. Sheep are changing pasture by leaping over a stone wall. The two pictures on the right are fromSuffolk. In one a dairymaid at Bawdsey is carrying milk to a thatched dairy. The peaceful village street scene is in the village of Stoke-by-Clare. Inset is a picture of extraordinary interest. The stone-chipper is one of thelast two flint-knappers of Brandon, Suffolk. This industry is the oldest in England, and has been carried on since the Stone Age. Even in these days of cartridges a few flints are still required for natives who cannot obtain

modern firearms, and for a few English sportsmen.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

GEOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.

APLEA FOR CORRECTNESS

(By ARPAD SZIGETVAIIY.)

On March 15, at the request of itsGovernment, Persia will become knownofficially to the world at large as Iran,its true name.

The general public will probablyignore the change. The world will goon just the same, and people who knownothing of Persia will care less, if pos-sible, about Iran, but the request bringsinto prominence idiosyncrasies of geo-graphical nomenclature which, throughgenerally accepted usage, though in mostcases quite illogically, are used in Eng-lish when dealing with foreign names.While some or tliese are anglicisedforms of names unpronounceable to theAnglo-Saxon ear, and some are mispro-nouncements through the passage oftime, others may be put down simplyto insular egotism. In the last cate-gory is Abyssinia, so prominent to-day.Ethipia is the correct name for thatcountry, but we still persist in callingit Ethiopia. Abyssinia may be slightlymore euphonious than Ethiopia, but it islonger and more difficult to spell. Wemust remember that in the purestAnglo-Saxon the length of words isbrief, although in our somewhat polyglot

we must, of necessity, resortoccasionally to lengthy words offoreign origin. Added to that thespeed of modern commerce calls forbrevity A small matter, apparently,in the length of two words such asAbyssinia and Ethiopia, but ask anostal official or business executive foran opinion on the collected saying in ayear through the use of the latter name.Abyssinia would be condemned out tathand Lastly, but ethically really themost' important, is the question ofNational pride and diplomatic tact Weinsult Ethiopia when we insist on call-in* her Abyssinia, which is not her name

it all One name is correct, one isnot. '"Why use the wrong one?

Chungwha and Nippon.The same arguments are naturally

not applicable in all cases. For instancethe real name for China is Chungwha.Thotte longer, but on the other hand,

it is more" euphonious. The correctname for Japan is Nippon. However,

The real"name for Estonia w Eeeti, yet

we cannot, in our arrogance, call IFesti wo can at least conform to is

Government's request and drop out We

superfluous H, especially as the Govern-ment resignedly made this slightrequest after realising the futility ofpersuading us to use the correct name,where euphony and brevity count. Itis the eamc with the other Balticrepublics of Latvia and Lithunia. Theyare in reality named Latvija andLietuva. In the former we have theexcuse of adopting a spelling" attunedto the Anglo-Saxon ear, but we have noexcuse for using a longer and harshername in the case of Lithuania. Inmodern history these States onlyregained their independence after thelate war, so we have still lose excusefor the mutilation of names. We hadevery opportunity of starting oft' cor-rectly. Going further north we haveNorway and Norge, Sweden and Sverige.

In tiio cases of two European coun-tries the alteration of only one letterwould give us correctness—Denmark andDanmark, Rumania and Romania. Onceupon a time, as a matter of fact untilquite recently, we went further andspelt the latter Roumania. We wentto the trouble of cutting out one letter,but it would almost eeein perversely,the wrong one, especially as Romania isderived from its connection with the oldRoman Empire, just as Latvia is.

In three cases we apply names whicharo strongly disliked by the peoples ofthe countries concerned—Holland, Swit-zerland and Greece. Correctly they areNederland, Helvetia and Hellas. Wehave been doubly insulting by beingincorrect, and replacing sonorousness byharshness. Not content with callingNederland Holland, or less frequentlybut much nearer the mark, The Nether-lands, we put both feet in and call itsinhabitants Dutchmen, a terrible insultto them. For that matter the Sasse-nach persists in calling hie northernbrother a Scotch-man instead of a Scots-man, and most of us insist on callinga Chinese a Chinaman.

A classic case of stubbornness is thatof Ceskoslovonsko. In all truth a diffi-cult enough name for an Anglo-Saxon topronounce, but we must go further andturn a name that is at least soft intoone that is gratingly harsh and stillmore difficult to spell. We spell itCzechoslovakia. Not content with thatwe generally go one better than theinhabitants themselves and insert ahyphen, making it Czecho-Slovakia.

Few Correct Names.With but little comment may be

added Austria and Osterreich, Belgiumand Belgique, Germany and DeutschesReiches, Hungary and Magyar, Italyand Italia, Poland and Polska. Spainand Espana, Turkey and Turkiye. Inthe case of Belgium we are liable toget the Flemish up in arms by not call-fng it Flamande, but after all the Frenchspeaking people there are in themajority. It must be admitted thatOsterreich and Deutsches Reiches areundoubtedly somewhat difficult to theaverage Anglo-Saxon tongue.

The only names of European coun-tries we spell correctly are France,Liechenrtein, Luxembourg. Monaco, Por-tugal a.V<l San Marino, although in mostcuses we pronounce them incorrectly. Itis to be noted that, with the exception

of Franco and Portugal those countriesare small and practically of no politicalimportance. Perhaps

'

their namedescaped distortion on our part for thatvery reason—they were not worth thetrouble of distorting.

In one or two cases the reversion tothe correct name will make for con-fusion. For instance Irak and Iran.Iceland is in reality Island, but that,for obvious reasons, would be most con-fusing, besides tending to become mixedin speech with Ireland, thereby addinganother potential insult to that coun-try which, by the way, is now officiallycalled Eireaiin. If Iceland is grantedher wish and is allowed to become apart of the British Empire, it will beconfusion confounded.

In America.Coining to totally misleading nomen-

clature we have the examples ofAmerica and New Zealand among others.America was named after a prevaricat-ing seaman, Americus Vespeceus, notafter the real discoverer, Leif Erikeon,the Norseman, or even the re-discoverer,Christopher Columbus, whose name wonly perpetuated in British Columbia,the Federal district of Columbia, whichis really Washington, and the LatinAmerican republic of Columbia. TheIrish say one of their saints landed onAmerican soil before even Leif Erikson.Be that as it may, Columbus inado thefirst mistake by calling the inhabitantsof the country Indians, a mistake whichwe continue and even emphasise in call-ing the islands of the Carribean Sea theWest Indies, instead of the CYuibecs,after the now practically exterminatedoriginal inhabitants.

New Zealand, oX course. i« named afterthe island of Zeeland off the Nether-lands. There is also an island of Zee-land off the coa«t of Denmark. A.s inthe case of the Caribees, we, would bemore correct in calling the countryMaoriland, for after all, it at least wastheir land, whether they have now gotmuch say about posseesiou or not.

Jumping across the Pacific, a mis-nomer in itself, we have Argentina. Howoften, even in newspapers which shouldknow better, is that name mistreated'.'We see it frequently referred to-asArgentine or The Argentina. In realityit Ts Argentina or The Argentine.

Coming back to Europe we have nameswhich make all our arguments seemfutile. Imagine for instance Albaniaand Bulgaria. How many Anglo-Saxons could pronounce the correctnames, Shquiperia and Blgariya? Thenwe have Soviet Russia, whose real namedemolishes all arguments in favour ofsonorousness, brevity and everything- else.The Russia of today is called the Unionof Social Soviet Republics, or in Rus-sian, Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialistic-heskikh Respublik.

The fact remains that other countriesare juet as much to blame as we are.Just to give one simple instance. TheFrench call London Londres. In faceof all this, what would you?

Medical and botanical terms an: uni-versal through being in Latin. Nomen-clature of countries, towns and peoplescould be made universal by all nationsagreeing to uee their correct names.

THE GOLDEN AGE.

PAST AND FUTURE

IMPORTANCE OF THE PRESENT

(By CYRANO.)

There used to be a popular comicsong called, I think, "The Conver-sazione." I remember it all the betterbecause it was sung by an Irish priestwho was also a doctor of music. Itdescribed how a number of Irishmenwere invited to a conversazione. Theywent, waited in vain for the expectedrefreshment, and were told at the endof the evening that they "had had theconversazione." The song seems to besomewhat allegorical. So many of usspend so much time waiting for theconversazione. We prepare for it. Wedevote years of work to give us agolden age in the future, when we shallenjoy the conversazione. Many of usdie before It comes; some of us reachit in middle and old age, and are dis-appointed with' it. A man will worklike seven devils for years in orderthat he may'enjoy himself on his retire-ment; but wlien he has retired he maybe bored stiff, largely because he hasmade work a habit and has not culti-vated leisure. The middle-aged wealthyman who has sacrificed the best yearsof his life to making money is a well-known type. We see the same lack ofproportion in microcosm in the passingof a single year. Some of us neglectleisure in anticipation of the annualholiday. And mixed with this antici-pation of a better time to come someday is perhaps a yearning for the goodold times of our youth. Pleasure andhappiness are in the past or the future,not in the present.

Ancient and Modern.It is interesting to compare this atti-

tude of mind towards individual liveswith the outlook on the world illgeneral. The writer of one of thosefascinating articles with which "TheTimes Literary Supplement" opens itscolumns considers the history of theGolden Age, and points out that it neveris in the present, but always in the pastor the future. The ancients believedit to be in the remote past—an age inwhich everything in Nature was kindly-and man had no need to labour. Myknowledge of the classics is sketchy;did the ancients seriously considerwhether such a state would be good forman? The idea that the Golden Agewas in the past lasted into moderntimes, until it was replaced by that ofprogress—that of human society movingsteadily and, as it were, by a law ofNature—to better and better things,until a Utopia was reached. It hasboon contended with much force thatbefore this belief in progress could take

shape man had to acquire a reasonablylong view of the past, and a lively in-terest in the future. The first condi-tion was supplied by the Renaissance,and the second by the advance- ofscience. Man learned that the age ofhuman society was Tar longer than hadbeen believed, ancT lie was given a rea-sonable assurance or a practically in-finite stretch of future history in whichhe could perfect himself. Belief inprogress became a religion, and. as in allreligions, there were zealots, formalistsand iudifferentists. Some men de-voted their lives, and often life itself,with fiery zeal to thie ideal. It liber-ated slaves, gave labour a charter andconferred political power on the masses.On the other hand numbers of peopleaccepted it without thought or action.It was a comfortable creed. The worldwas getting better and better, so whyworry 1

Then came the World War, and afterit the challenging of democracy and thegreat depression—and where are we?The idea of natural, almost automatic,progress has been dealt mortal woundsby the war and its after effects. Idoubt whether anything in the waritself was more depressing than someof the manifestations of class and racialmadness that have cropped up_ duringthe peace. Stupidity is sometimes asterrifying as cruelty. The spectacleof a German working himself into afrenzy of mingled enthusiasm and hateover pure Aryanism seems to me asdangerous to* human society as theinvasion of Belgium.

An Old Complaint.But if we should be tempted to

despair there is consolation in therepeated falsification of the dark con-clusions of even great men. Many of usknow a few of these false prophecies.The writer in "The Times" makes amost interesting list of sayings thatshow how perplexities and criticisms ofto-day arc paralleled in the past. In1840 Disraeli said the times had become"so soft." In 1839 Carlyle referred to"this perplexed overcrowded Europe."The time of 1800 was to Wordsworth a"degenerate age," yet at that very timeEngland was "busy defeating Napoleon.Burke in 1775 complained that the Eng-lish were "no longer that eager, unques-tioning jealous, fiery people," yet, Eng-land, then engaged in loeing one Empire,was about to found another. In 1782Cowper found England sunk into "astate of decrepitude," and five yearsafter Waterloo Hazlitt wrote theequivalent of "Finis." on theglories of hiscountry. It may be argued that in 1782and after Waterloo the internal con-dition of England justified such gloom;certainly it was bad. But let us go back—right back to the "Spacious days" of •Elizabeth. These days to us pulsate withlife and energy and endeavour—in manyrespects a Golden Age. Yet we findEdmund Spenser, the poet, looking backwith longing to that Golden Agewhich his and all previous generationsplaced in the far-off youth of the world.To Montaigne the sixteenth century was

"corrupt and ignorant." In 1548 anEnglishman lamented that "our earthis worn out and no longer produces themen of old." Within the next sixteenyears that worn-out world produced,among others, Edmund Spenser, WalterRaleigh, Bacon, Shakespeare and Galileo.

In Paraflise Unawares.Thus, a<3 we go back, the Golden Age

retreats. Historians have said that theperiod of the Roman Empire underHadrian was one of the happiest in his-tory; the inhabitants of portions of theempire—then at peace and well gov-erned—were better off then than theyhad ever been before or liave been since.But did the citizen in Rome and theprovincial realise that they were livingin a Golden Age? There was plenty ofcomplaint about the age in 1913. Sum-bers of people thought England moreor less degenerate. But, as Max Beer-bolim showed in a cartoon, the senilityof John Bull was only superficial; hebecame an ardent youth with a flashingblade, and history will record its pro-found admiration'of his effort. To thedistracted world of to-day 1913 mustseem a peaceful ■ back water, even aparadise, but that is largely becauseour troubles are close to us, and thoseof 1913 are receding out of sight. ' Eventhe year 1930, eays this "Times" writer,is acquiring a halo. "Man continuallylives in paradises unawares." In a fewyears "we filial! be looking back to anage of gold." A sombre forecast this,you may say, with our present discon-tents in mind. The writer's conclusionis that there has never been a GoldenAge, and with mankind changing soslowly, he appears to have the gravestdoubt whether there ever will be. Everyage has its gold and its dross; everyage is what we choose to make it.Making it better means living actively,intelligently and unselfishly in thepresent, with eyes made clear by studyof the present and the past. Hearwhat wise old Hooker had to say at theend of the sixteenth century: "We allmake complaint of the iniquity of ourtimes; not unjustly, for the days' areevil. But compare these with thosetimes in which there were no civilsocieties . . . and we have surely goodcause to think that God hath blessedus exceedingly and hath made usbehold most happy days."

WINDY GRASS.

A flock of ghostly sheep they goAcross the golden grass;

A phantom shepherd folds them inAnd counts them as they pass

Across the windy hill in drovesTo rest in quiet shade

Beyond the sundried, brown ridgeIn orderly parade.

Endlessly they follow on,And still they seem to come :There are so many that the flockMight never have begun.But eaeb one gors with certain gait,

Silently as sloop.Why so fast across the hill.

WAYS OF THE WILD.

THE BUMBLE BEES.

VAXTJE TO NEW ZEAI#ATTD,

'i, (By A. T. PYCROFT.)

A friend states that when he was

investigating a bumble bee's nest in theground he was severely etung by twoof these bees. My friend was barefootedat the time, and one of these bees stunghim on a big toe and another on a

thumb. The sting was much more severethan that of the ordinary bee—apis, butmy correspondent does not state if thebumble bee's eting remained in the skin,as is invariably the case when the honeybee stings. Possibly the bumble beehas sufficient power to withdrawthe sting from the flesh, whereas thehoney bee has not. I am asked forinformation about the bumble or(humble) bee's introduction into NewZealand.

There are five species of these beesnaturalised in New Zealand, all beinj;natives of Europe. A great service wasdone to this country by the CanterburyAcclimatisation Society, who success-fully introduced them in 1885. Theywere liberated at Eiccarton and at thefoot of the Port Hills. A first, butunsuccessful attempt to introduce theseinsects was made by this society in1873, with the object of bringing about

by their aid the fertilisation of the redclover, which is very extensively culti-vated, but which, previous to the adventof these insects, did. not produce seedexcept to a very limited extent. Thecost of those landed was 9/5 each. Assoon as the insects began to increasefertilisation of the clover ensued andabundance of seed began to be obtained.

The importance and value of thehumble bee to New Zealand has beenvery considerable. Within nine yearsof the liberation of 90 queens in Christ-church in 1885 the sum of about £200,000was realised from red clover seed alone.It is an example of one family of insectsbeneficial to mankind. This insect i?called bumble bee and humble bee, andboth names appear to be correct,bumble being derived from an old Eng-lish, word "bumblen," to make a hum-ming noise, and humble bee from theold English name Huinbil bee, orhumming bee.

Family Life.The bumble or bumble bees belong to

tile family Bombidae, Latin borhbus. ahumming noise, and are amongst themost familiar insects in temperateclimates, but in tropical countries arcgenerally confined to the mountains.They are absent from almost the wholeof Africa, the plains of India, and nonebelong to Australia or New Zealand.In temperate regions their family liferesembles that found in the socialwasps much more closely than thatwhich prevails in the hive or honeybees. The societies come to an end inautumn, and a certain mimber of thefemales hibernate, to reappear inspring, when they form new colonies.The most abundant caste is that of theworkers, but they are not clearly dis-tinguishable from the queens or femalesexcept by their smaller size.

Soon after fertilisation the femaleshibernate, and this phase may l>epassed either in the ground or in rub-bish, moss, etc. In Britain the periodof torpor . lasts about nine months.When astir again, each queen seeks outa situation for her future nest, which iagenerally underground, and consists offine grass or moss formed into a hollowball. Access to the nest is obtained bymeans of a. tunnel, which averagesabout 2ft in length. Having formedher liest.. the next act of the humblebee queen is to collect a mass of pollen,which is formed into a paste. Uponthe top of this substance she con-structs a circular wall of wax, and inthe cell thus formed ehe lays her batchof eggs, capping them over with acovering of wax. She also constructsa wax receptacle, or honey pot, for herown consumption. This store is drawnupon during inclement weather andwhile the queen is occupied in incubat-ing her eggs. The larvae hatch inabout four days, and lie immersed intheir food bed of pollen. The queenfurther supplies them with regurgitatedpollen and, nectar, which are passed tothe brood through a hole which eheforms in the upper part of the cell.About the tenth day the larvae spintough pale yellow cocoons, and on thetwenty-second or twenty-third day afterthe eggs are deposited the first adultsappear, and are always workers.

How the Colonies Grow.Xew cells are added to the nest as

the season advances, ami each cell con-tains on an average about a dozeneggs. The workers convert their oldcocoons into honey pots, and, in somespecies, additional waxed vessels arealso constructed. When sufficientworkers have emerged, the work ofpollen collecting devolves upon them,and the queen becomes restricted to thenest. After the queen has depositedabout 200 to 400 workers' eggs, accord-ing to the species, she lays other eggs,which give rise to males and queens.Those destined to produce queens arelaid in larger cells than is the casewith workers or male eggs, the workercells being the smallest of the threetypes. " The male and queen cells arenot provisioned before the eggs are laidin them, and those larvae destined toproduce queens do not appear to receiveany different diet from those which willgive rise to males. During the inter-mediate period in the life of the colonythe females which are produced aresmaller than the parent, and are littlemore than egg-laying workers.

The large sized females, togetherwith the males, do not appeal, until theend of the season. The survivor*among these females form the nextyear's colonies; the males on the otherhand, are short lived, and having onc-oleft the nest do not return to it.Humble bees' nesta usually present anirregular appearance. The larvae, a?

they develop, increase in size, and theircells become distended. The queen addsmore wax, so that the larvae alwaysremain hidden, but much of the wax Uremoved after the cocoons are formed.The cells are only utilised once for rear-ing purposes, and fresh cells are addedabove the old remains. The queens arethe onlv members of the whole colony

of humble bees consisting of hundred-of workers and drones, that are strong

enough to stand the cold of winterThus each humble bee colony lasts o I)

Religious WorldMEANING OF RELIGION.

REVELATION OF REALITIES.

Here is a helpful article, the first ofa series of articles explaining salvationto people of various types and ages, ina recent number of the London "WarCry." It is from the pen of a Salva-tion Army officer, and here are somepassages from it, intended for youngmen out of work.

I began, to speak about religion toseveral young men who were on the"dole."

"For Heaven's sake, Captain," theyeaid, "do not talk to us about gettingsaved. There's nothiug we don't knowabout that 'dope.' What we want isa 'job., " "I feel jiiy whole life is being■wasted," said one of them. Now it isnot easy to speak to men in that mood.It is worse than useless trying toanswer such frankness with platitudes.We must admit that life is a struggle,a great struggle between Heaven andHell, and man must make the choicebetween life with God and life withoutHim. Life with God is Heaven, hereand hereafter; life without God is Hell,h<>re and hereafter.

Religion is not "dope" It is nota pious reverie, a moral system, or afantasy life. It is a revelation of therealities which control life. The Chris-tian religion is simple—and always hasbeen. As the Gospel puts it, "Jesus,came into Galilee preaching the goodnews of God and saying: Repent of yoursins and believe in the good news." Hegave good news of God and God's King-dom; good news that required on man'sside a change of mind and heart.

Jesus knew something of the hard-ships of life. He was born in a stableand put to work in a carpenter's shop.He enters into every aspect of humanlife. To people conscious of their sinHβ brings forgiveness of the Father. Tothe anxious He speaks of a trust in aFather who knows about Hie children'sneeds. Hβ is the Great Physician ofsouls. To the young man who feelslife is being wasted He gives a newhope—a living hope that answers his.deep need.

It is the modern lie to identify Godwith the evils of life. Such thinkingblasphemes His name. As a. socialofficer I meet men who have broken thelaws of physical life. I sent a man tohospital who was a danger to the otherinmates of the hostel because of theBin in which, he had indulged. "Was hisplight God's will? Not a bit of it; itwae evil—the absence of God.

The love of God is pitted against thenatural tendencies of the human heart.Christianity means that the vilest mayfind salvation. Of that great truthChrist Himself is witness. In Himalone can men be saved. Those con-scious of their sin, conscious of theirneed of guidance, gain from Him cer-tainty of forgiveness and new power todo good.

Christ changes the whole texture ofpersonality. He changes moral defeat-ism into glorious victory. He it is Whogives us the power to meet every con-tingency.

You will not think me over pious ifI suggest that prayer is our only hopeof ever achieving certainty about God,and there is only one way of provingwhat prayer does, and that is to tryit. Through prayer we have gracethat enables us to conquer our ownfailures.

There is no promise that ae soon aswe pray we shall get what Ave want.Many praying men are still out of work.They, like you, are sharing the generalbreakdown brought about by a generalfailure to order life on this planet inthe right way. But the praying manis in touch with God and receives cour-age and hope and strength of characterwhich in turn enable him to make hisvery misfortunes the means of enno-bling his character.

OLD TESTAMENT GEM.

This admirable introduction to a studyof one of the most beautiful books inthe Bible, the Book of Jonah, is takenfrom an article by the Rev. A. J. Grigg,of the Baptist College, in the currentnumber of the "New Zealand Baptist."

The extreme importance of this greatmissionary book of the Old Testamenthas often been lost sight of in the undueemphasis on, and often unedifying dis-cussion of. the question of Jonah andthe great fish. We must be careful notto regard the interpretation of this inci-dent as a test of orthodoxy, while missingthe glowing significance of the book asa whole, which is one of the gems of theOld Testament. In the second part ofthe prophecy of Isaiah, Israel's missionis set forth as being "a light unto theGentiles," the proclaiming of the know-ledge of God to the world. The dis-cipline of Israel's exile was intended toeffect this, but, instead, after the return,the Jewish people rejected the mission-ary idea], and encased themselves in ahard, exclusive, jealous legalism, whichregarded "the heathen" as evil, defiling,hostile to the chosen, people, and destinedto be destroyed by the coming MessianicKingdom. The Book of Jonah is a beau-tiful and compelling protest against thisexclusiveness, and an appeal to Israelto accept its great mission to evangelisethe world. The universalism of the re-ligion of Jehovah is nowhere in the OldTestament proclaimed in nobler terms.The unknown writer uses the prophetJonah as the means of demonstratingMs great truth. There was a .Jonahmentioned briefly in 2 Kings 14: 25, whoforetold the conquests by which Jero-boam* 11. restored Israel's territory.Nothing else is known of him, but hestands as a fit representative of bigotedpatriotism. The writer in the fourth orthird century B.C. either uses an his-torical narrative, or, more probably,following the literary usages of his day,weaves a most significant parable roundthe dim figure to enshrine his urgentmessage. Whatever the literary inter-pretation of the book may be, itsspiritual and religious meaning is abun-dantly clear. Jonah (meaning "dove")stands for Israel, and Nineveh repre-sents the heathen world.

"FROM MY HOSPITALWINDOW."

REFLECTIONS OF A PATIENT.

(By S.)

Two weeks ago I wrote about Hiram•Golf and his quaint, humorously-couched sayings and unshakable faith,given us in a cheap reprint by Angusand Eobertson. This week I want todraw the attention of readers of thiscolumn to another little book issued bythe same publishers. It is called "FromMy Hospital Window,"* and gives usthe thoughts, during hie convalescence,of a well-known Sydney man, Mr.James Green, who, as his nurse humor-ously put it, had been eliminated of anappendix. Tho "elimination" had takenplace in tho War Memorial Hospital,Sydney (Mr. Green had done his bit inthe war, and had been given the volun-teer officers', decoration for his war ser-vices, and made a Companion of theOrder of St. Michael and St. George),and it was in this hospital, in theleisure that was thrust on him as helay in bed, that "From My HospitalWindow" took shape.

A thoughtful, observant, earnest-minded man, able to wield his pen togood account, he takes stock of thethings which were nearest to him, andthen of the problems of the widerworld, chiefly the problems affectingreligion, the Christian Church, and thesanity of democracy. He aptly beginsby telling us of his discovery that thesmall world on which lie looks out of amorning was not so small or so unin-teresting as one would think, and thenhe looks out in thought on the largerand more varied world beyond, and re-flects, in nearly a score of essays, onsuch topics as "Is the world gettingbetter?" "The brave doub£er," "Thesimple believer," "The zeal of perverts"and "If Russia had chosen Henry Georgeinstead of Karl Marx." And on allthese, and such-like matters of currentinterest, he lias something to say thatis fresh and suggestive.

Commenting on the visit of a clericalvisitor to the hospital on Sundaymornings and his prayers, he says: "Ihave never realised until now what acomfort it is, when we are ill, to havesomeone to pray with us. Sometimeswe seem to possess insufficient physicalstrength and the necessary mentalclarity to pray, but we want God, andhow wonderful it is that, others cantake our thoughts and desires to God."As he lies here on his back, he learns,he tells us, the need, of being cured of"our tendency to pettiness and selfish-ness, and the grossness which deniesthat we are souls." He reflects on "thepeople who will have it that the worldis getting worse," and "who seem reallyglad about it." "Perhaps," he says, "itis a subtle form of spiritual pride—because they are in the 'little flock' whoare to receive 'the kingdom.'" Refer-ring to the zeal of perverts, he likensthem to a will-o'-the-wisp. "They drawChristian men and women from theplain path of duty, at the very timewhen Christian devotion and witnessingto Christ is most necessary. The ordi-nary means of grace, the simple planof salvation, the problems of personalconduct and life, seem 'small beer'alongside these highly coloured catas-trophes and hectic hopes." "The funda-mental truths," he goes on, "the thingsthat really count in our salvation, vastlyoutnumber these very debatable andlittle understood 'end-of-the-world,' mil-lennial and Armageddon references inthe Bible, and yet we seek out theobscure, highly dramatise it until itsta'nds out lurid beyond the more vitalfeatures of the Gospel story, and, as aresult, men hold and preach a gospelwhich is out of perspective and power-less to reform character and savesouls."

How true! I have no space for fur-ther extracts from this inost interestingbook, so human, so sane, so generallysound. Xo one can read it withoutreceiving mental stimulation and re-freshment, and getting a deepened inter-est in, and understanding of, the timesin which we are living.

A SCOTTISH NOVEL,

RUSSIAN CIRCULATIONS,

A review in the "Times LiterarySupplement" of January 24 o£"Marsden's Lieutenants" (edited byProfessor Rawson Elder) expresses thoopinion that the production is highlycreditable to the University of Otago.This second volume, however, lacks intho opinion of the reviewer in one sensethe value of the first. Marsden's recordsare of permanent interest because theyportray the Maoris of the North Islandas they seemed, at the time of theirlirst contact with white men, to anacute and diligent observer. Tho lettersand journals of Kendall, Hall and Kingfall far short of this standard."

Miss Nolle Scanlan writes fromLondon:—"l was speaking to Mrs.Willie Percy, wife of the small comedianso well known in New Zealand with theold Pollard Opera Company years ago,and she told me that his book, "Stroll-ing Through Scotland," had been so suc-cessful that he is now at work on oneabout England. He will illustrate itin the same way with his sketches andetchings. Willie Percy is now appear-ing in pantomie in Glasgow. He is anannual event up there, and was obligedto leave tho cast of a London play toappear for his Scottish friends." "Stroll-ing Through Scotland" was reviewedrecently in these columns.

OUR EARLIER DAYS.

AN OTAGO PIONEER.

New Zealand owes much to Mr.Downio Stewart, and ho has addedanother obligation by editing the jour-nals and letters of his grandfather,George Hepburn, which are published byCoulls, Soniervitle, WilWe, Ltd., andA. H. Reed, Dunedin. As tho editorsays, he has cut out as littlo as pos-sible of the diary, leaving it to speakfor itself.

Mr. Hepburn was a native of Kjr-kaldy and came out as an emigrant withhis family in the ship Poictiers to Otagoin 1850. Ho was a splendid type ofScotsman—honest, industrious andthrifty. If his outlook in many waysseems narrow to our ideas, the religiousatmosphere of his early life explains it,and it must bo admitted that he reallyhad convictions and tried to live up tothem. He was one of the class whichmade Otago, and especially Dunedin,famous everywhere for tho honesty,business capacity, and hard work of itspeople beyond any other part of thecolony. The wealth and financial sta-bility so achieved have subsisted tillto-day. Half the book is taken upwith an account of the voyage, whichlasted seven months, one of the longestin the history of colonial emigration.Much of the weather was fine and plea-sant, but occasional storms, and especi-ally when nearing New Zealand, de-layed tho vessel. Of the ship and hercompany Mr. Hepburn gives interestingand at'fimes amusing pictures, and hisideas are often coloured by his preju-dices. Ho frequently took divers oftho crew and passengers to task fornot keeping the Sabbath. Curiouslyenough,"his worst subject was the sail-maker, who sat near Mr. Hepburn'scabin door repairing a sail all day Sun-day, and at times singing profane songs.The writer, with a pathos which is un-consciously humorous, adds, " and he aScotsman." The vessel touched firstat New Plymouth, then at Nelson andWellington before proceeding on to PortChalmers. Of each place Mr. Hepburngives an account, and notes the pricescharged for various commodities, in-cluding food and clothing. ITe showshimself a good man of business, for hebuys Hour "at Nelson for 11/ per 1001b,for which lie expects to receive 20/ atUtago.

The rest of the book is taken fromletters written to friends in Scotland.and describes life in Dunedin duringthe 'fifties, and even later, graphically.It is tho story of a hard-working,thrifty Scot slowly making liis way.The first two years are a struggle toclear a small farm, but lie gets a postiis manager of the business owned byMr. James MacAndrcw, Inter a wellknown figure in New Zealand politics.Later he goes into partnership with abrother-in-law and buys out his formeremployer just at the time when thegold rush to Gabriel's Gully was begin-ning. His business expanded as didhis other interests. He was a member ofthe Provincial Council and later of Par-liament. He gives details of familylife, weddings, parties and the like, andmuch attention to the progress ofChurch life in Dunedin.

He died in December, 18813, aged 81,and a fitting epilogue is given in u tri-bute paid to him by Dr. Stuart, whowas one of the greatest, as well as oneof the most influential, citizens ofDunedin.

"Adventuring in Maorilaml in the'Seventies" (Angus and Robertson) ispleasant reading. It; is compiled fromletters written by Mr. <"!. L. Meredithto his mother, and the book is edited byDr. Harrop, who adds an introductioncomparing the state of the country inthe mid 'seventies with its present posi-tion.

Mr. Meredith is a Tasmanian wliocame' to New Zealand intending to entera Wellington law office. Instead, liepreferred the open air life, and workedon different ' stations along the eastcoast of the North Island. He wassomewhat a rolling stone, and his ex-periences were varied and at times ex-citing His accounts of earlyattempts at cooking, camp making, etc..,arc told in a racy' style, which is verypleasing. He had much to do with theMaoris, whom he liked greatly, thoughthis did not prevent him from playingon their superstitious fears every nowand then. The pictures he draws ofstation life in those days are most in-teresting. He had to work hard, butnone the less managed to have a goodtime. For two winters he took a, postas clerk in the House of Representa-tives, durinor the session, and here metall the. political celebrities of the mid"seventies, including Sir George Greywho, with his customary affability, wasvery kind to the young man. He tellsone or two amusing incidents in Parlia-ment which happened while he was soemployed.

A piece of bad luck rather than badmanagement in a pig raising venture inPoverty Bay, drained his resources, andhe. saw that New Zealand was enteringon the depression which followed thecessation of borrowing inaugurated byYogel. This made him think that Aus-tralia had better chances for him, andlie left New Zealand after eight yearsnf varied experiences in which lie hadlearned much which lie thought wouldstand him in good stead later on. Thisis a readable little book.

IN THE HEBRIDES.

STORY OF MIXED NATIONALITY

A Scot abroad is, each • year, less aScot, and an Englishman more and moreaggressively English the longer ho isexiled from his country, says N. Brys-son Morrison in "The Strangers" (Col-lins), a story of England and theHebrides. An Italian family meet aScots family in England, and eventuallytwo of tho former "emigrate" to anisland north of Scotland and purchasea country inn. The previous tenantshave held the inn for 40 years, but arcstill known as "the strangers"; what,then, arc tho inhabitants of the islandto consider the Italians? Scots andItalians inter-marry, and the resultsare in no sense satisfactory. Mr. Mor-rison has the gift of winning hisreaders' affection for everything Scots."Tho air of the Hebrides is so strongit nearly pulls one out of the window,"ho says, and in tho sea, clouds, frost,snow, foliage, streams and fauna heclaims exceptional brilliance, but fortho people one leading quality—faith-fulness.

The story opens in a cheap boarding-house, and the domestic details arecleverly amusing. The Scots and Italianfamilies arc mutually interested andattracted. The domination of tho Eng-lish is to be observed in tho frequencywith which European nations learn thelanguages unfamiliar to them, andFrench, Italians, German and Spanishseem forced to do so, whilst the Eng-lish mostly ignore all language buttheir own, as if to say, "Wo have nointerest in your thoughts, but if youwould know ours, learn the language."The North Scots dialect is as expres-sive as American slang, and much morebeautiful. This is a "dour" story with-out bagpipe mueic, and is almost asgood as "Tho Gowk Storm," by thesame author.

A FRENCH FAMILY.

Georges Duhamcl has set out uponthe history of a middle-class Frenchfamily, and the second book of thoserine has been translated by Beatricedo Holthoir. "Young Paequier" (Dent),chosen by the Book Society, concernschiefly the young Paequicr daughter,whorie music (she is a genius) throbsthrough all the daily life of the family.Young Laurent lias mental strugglesat 15, fails to grasp the fact thathuman love may lie as pure as poetewould have it, and that only debasedminds connect impurity and sin with anatural function, or jest in an un-seemly way about sex. An erringfather with many mistresses and defi-nitely but openly immoral brothersbewilder Laurent, who would see allmen and women normally chaste, andin sexual irregularities but eecret crime."How can father be faithful to motherwhen—" he asks after meeting hisfather's mistress (the latest), and beg-ging her to leave the district. A malesaint of 15 can see no good in a worldunder control of pascsion, with peoplepulled this way and that by uncon-trolled emotion, and to see this break-ing up one's own family is pain, sorrow,tragedy. The patient, steadfast, affec-tionate mother, the handsome hypocrite,her husband, the musical genius and herh'ery instructor, tho casual soldier son,the etudent, even the bailiff (who jotsdown "one piano"), arc all drawn as iffrom life, and the story reveals theinnermost private affairs of a familyattached to home and to each other, butdogged by poverty and excess ofemotion.

INTERNATIONAL AMITY.

Dr. Keniper Simpson, the Americaneconomist, in "Introduction to WorldEconomics,, (George Allen and Unwin)has gone thoroughly into monetary andcommercial conditions in America,France. Germany and England, andmakes a strong case for the wiping awayof international tariff barriers. Of thefour countries America can best affordto be selllsl) for she exports less in pro-portion to home consumption than othercountries, and in "taking in each other'swashing" the States are best equippedfor (survival. In short, each countrydepends upon the others commercially,and no one country ean so adjustmonetary and tariff affairs that she canrecover from the po><t-war depressionwithout outside aid. The complicationsof individual banking pale before theinterwoven net of industry and basicproducts. We may wrest a partialrecovery from the commercial confusionif we see opportunities unrecognised by.opponents, iis eagerly set on recovery asourselves, but unwilling to help Dr.Simpson vieiolls a general internationalagreement, equalising tariff and exchangeand allowing production and consump-tion to cancel out in practice, insteadof "let them fight it out and the betterman win.'. The economist suggests thatfriendly competition in production(demand adjusting prices) would have

a similar result, but all would si)are inincreased prosperity as a result ofunselfishness. When the two clownsquarrelled neither would be the first todrop his guard. Remembering the armsreduction and failure, it is obvious thata congress of economists from the fourcountries must agree and decide simul-taneously.

ORIGINALITY.

Authorship is an incalculable thing:it may happen to anyone, gentle orsimple, learned or almost illiterate, butwhen it happens, it happens in a uniqueway to the person to whom it occurs,says Mr. Rt. John Ervinc in the''Observer." Every writer has a modelthat he admires, but if he merely repeatsthat model, he soon ceases to be a writer.If he hoe no contribution of hie. own tomake, to the- stock of letters, then,indeed, his plight is parlous and haenters the abomination of desolation.Words are in the air, and the same ex-pression may occur to several writerssimultaneously, as tho theory of evolu-tion occurred simultaneously to Darwinand Alfred IJussel Wallace, but need weconclude from that ordinary fact ofexistence that one man is imitatinganother or-that he cannot have had anidea himself, but must have taken itwithout a by-your-leave from anotherauthor? To Jind that a thought whichhas just come into your head is an oldono does not alter the fact that thethought Mas a new one to you, that youdiscovered it, unaided, and that you arc,to that extent, an original thinker. Theworld, indeed, contains many moreoriginal thinkers than is generally sup-posed: it is the misfortune of most ofthem that the originality of theirthought comes a little late in the day. <

DOMESTIC LOYALTY.

A WORTH-WHILE NOVEL.

Novelty of theme and of locality soonrapture the interest of the reader of"Latter Howe," (Collins), which is anovel of more than .average merit. Init we meet a young Cumberland elieep-farmer, rooted to his piece of unfertilemountain land, until circumstances forcehim to leave it, temporarily, for thealien flats of Norfolk. His marriageto a scholarly woman ten years his seniorhas been ideally happy, despite the inter-ference and advice of her richer rela-tives. She contracts tuberculosis, andfor her sake lie leases his farm andmoves to the lowlands. He learns thatshe has but two years to live, andthis knowledge changes his own attitudetowards her, so that instead of a per-fect companion she is becoming to him apathological "case." At length he tellsher the truth, and her noble serenity ofspirit enables them to attain a happi-ness together, which i* the ?nore perfectbecause its termination is inevitablysoon. And when tho end comes thehueband returns to the Cumberland hillewhich are, for him, the most beautifulin/tho world. Were it not for theability of Dorecn Wallace, the author,this would bo merely a "sad story," eachas library patrons are said to ehun; butany imaginative reader of this willexperience that elevation of feelingwhich is induced by great tragedy. Atleast he will finish the book with, agreater respect for men and women, whoin so many post-war novels, have beena poor lot. In "Latter Howe" thecentral characters are ordinary people,facing ordinary •problems with courageand loyalty that fortunately arc stiilfairly common.

BOOKS IN RUSSIA.

A NOVELIST'S PARADISE.

The author of "Quiet Flows the Don,"Mr. Mikhail Sholokov, who has beendescribed in Russia as the "first prole-tarian novelist," was recently in Lon-don for a few days. Ho met a num-ber of people at the U.S.S.R. Embassy,and told them something about authorsand readers in Russia (says the "Man-chester Guardian"). Mr. Sholokov isyoung (29) to have written four or fivenovels of quality. He has the air ofa man of cities, but he lives still bychoice in his own village in the DonCossack district, where his charactersconio from, nearly 900 miles from Mos-cow and over a hundred miles from anyrailway station.

Soviet Russia, it seems, is a land ofmass production circulations for nove-lists. Examples given by Mr. Sholo-kov were Gorki's works 18,000,000 copies-,Novikov Priboi 2,500,000, Panferov,Alcxjs Tolstoi, and Fadeev Sholokovfrom 1,500,000 to 3,000,000 copies. SinceCzarist days the reading public hasbeen multiplied a hundredfold and booksare cheap, Mr. Mikhail Sholokov ex-plained. Soviet literature has developedremarkably, but still, ho declared, lagsbehind the cultural level of the readers.Low prices help high circulations. "Abig volume by a popular writer," hesaid, "can be bought in our country forp few coppers, and probably in no coun-try are writers held in guch affectionand esteem as with us." Readers seekactively for personal contact by letter.They write their criticisms and sugges-tion's, which largely take tho form ofraw material like reminiscences, docu-ments, or diaries relevant to the placeor period lie is writing about. Theyalso want to see him and hear him, andhe is overwhelmed witli pressing invita-tions from factories and farms all overthe Union.

"NOTHING LIKE LEATHER"

I "Xothing Like Leather" is a personaland domestic story by V. S. Pritehett(Chatto and Windus). The scene, asthe publishers tell us, is an unusual one.Jt is. for the most part, a tannery in asmall English town. The characters area small group of very ordinary people,and the story is really a psychologicalstudy of these people. Mr. Pritehetthas an undoubted gift as a portrayerof character. He is able to hold theattention of the reader by the incisive-ness and power with which he lays barethe intimacies of the types of personshe depict.*, and of whom-he seems tohave a thorough understanding. Some-times he surprises one by his referencesto them. For example, the owner of thetannery, a. Mr. l'etworth, who, after abit. dies suddenly, lolls his head"with a Ghristly mournfulnees," what-ever that may mean, and gives hisbooks to "nasal Nonconformist preach-ers!'. His wife is weak and foolish, andtheir only child, Henrietta, hates herfather, despises her'mother, and is glibfind sarcastic in her remarks to peopleshe dislikes. "I never know," she tells

a, girl acquaintance, "whether you are asparrow or a dove." Geoffrey Chapple-inan, a nephew of the Petworths, who

[Succeeds his uncle in the managementof the tannery, is a, curious study. Hedevelops tuberculosis, and is given upas practically incurable, but ultimatelyrecovers, and marries Henrietta. Thereare two or three other somewhat sub-ordinate characters, but the principalliguro is a. young member of the staff,SJathow Buckle, and he is the strangestcharacter of all. He wants to be con-scientious and sincere, but, temptationis too much for him. He is timid, yetbold, mean, and overweaningly ambi-tious. At the em] he dies an extra-ordinary death. There is a, backgroundand atmosphere in the book, and, asalready said, the powerfulness and detailwith which Mr. Pritchett lays bare hischaracters, hold the attention all jthrough. But there is something hor-rible in the detailed intimacy with whichhe lays them bare. There is not a singleone. of the major characters who showsto advantage, not one who is uprightor ('lean living. It would have been arelief to have come upon one person wit}]something of beauty or romance in hisor her composition.

HONEYMOON TALKIES.

(From Our London Lady Correspondent.)

Whilst at Himley Hall the Royalhoneyinooners are able to choose theirown film shows. The mansion is equip-ped with a perfect talkie cinema, andno doubt the first thing the Royal couplewanted to see was the news films oftheir own wedding. It must be a fascin-ating experience, even for Royalty, to beable thus to see themselves as millionsof others saw them only a few hoursbefore. If they want other film enter-tainment they can switch on "The IronDuke," with George Arliss in the titlerole. But on any subsequent day theycan pick and choose practically any filmthat takes their fancy. The one provisowill be, however, that they must beBritish pictures. Only these will beavailable at call.

GRECIAN INFLUENCE.This is to be a winter of Grecian

effects. The Grecian influence is alreadybeing felt in clothes and fashions.Grecian parties are being arranged bysmart hostesses. Grecian dishes areintroduced into festive menus. All this,of course, in honour of Princess Marinaof Greece, who is delighted by thetribute paid to her native country.Inquiries are being made, in the fancydress departments of the large stores,for the picturesque Grecian nativecostume, in which the Princess hasappeared more than once at galas inParis, as well as at a dance given bylier brother-in-law, Prince Paul of Yugo-slavia, at Bled, a little wlrf-c after theannouncement of her betrothal. It is aparticularly charming affair, full ofcolour like all the native costumesassociated Avith the Balkan States, andthe headdress and apron arc usuallybeautifully embroidered. There is everyprospect of its being a favourite dressfor the fancy costume balls this winter.

ONLY ONE CRUET!Silver cruets used to be favourite

wedding presents. Where a bride waswell known she frequently had quite acollection to take to her new home, andjewellers often found themselves faced

'by the problem of "changing" half adozen or more of these useful littlesilver articles when a big wedding wasover. The Duke and Duchess of Kenthad one cruet among their weddinggifts—a dainty little silver affair—andit has been sent to them by that mostmodern of young women, the one-timeMiss Margaret Whighain, and her hus-band, Mr. Charles Sweeny. The Princesof the Eoyal House have played a greatdeal of golf with Mr. Sweeny, a bleverAmerican golfer, at different times, and,until the Prince of Wales took upgardening, they were frequently part-ners in friendly rounds.

NURSE BLACK'S LETTER-BOX.One does not usually expect to find

great originality in wedding presents,but Nurse Black, the resident nurse atBuckingham Palace, who attended theKing during his illness, certainly hasintroduced it in the letter-box which shepave the Duke of Kent for his wedding.Her gift is an exact miniature of theP.O. letter-boxes which are so familiarin the streets. It is of leather, andpainted red, with the word "Letters"printed neatly across the front. Thegift is a serviceable one, and is intendedfo stand on a small table in the hallof No. 3, Belgrave Square, where alland sundry, may post their letters forthe different collections during the day.The Duke prizes the gift highly, notonly for its originality, but as an ex-pression of the mutual esteem thatexists between the donor and therecipient.

WOMEN IN THE HOUSE.A session or two ago women belonging

to the younger generation developed akeen interest in politics, a»d the.Strangers' Gallery in the House of Com-mons was frequently filled at night byparties of young men and women listen-ing intently to the debates. The interestcontinues, and while there is a socialside to the House of Commons visits—

they usually followa dinner party givenby the wife of some distinguished youngmember—there is no doubt that thesevoung people follow the political ques-tions of the day with much more intelli-gence than used to be the case. LadyDiana Cooper is quite a frequent visitor,and in the Upper House nobody is in herplace in the Peeresses' Gallery morefrequently than Lady Klelchett, whoattracts the attention of her husbandand any friends who may be present bywaving to them with a tiny handker-chief. Lady Oxford and Asquith goesto one House or the other a good deal;

■so does the Dowager Lady Airlie.

TO BE IN LONDON.The Duchess of Marlborougli has

begun, since her husband succeeded tohis father's title, to take a great dealof interest in London's social problems.She has always been very enthusiasticabout hunting and a country life, and isone of the younger society women rarelyif ever seen at a ball or a big socialfunction. She will do a certain amountof entertaining at Blenheim Palace assoon as the period of mourning for herfather-in-law is over, but she also in-tends to put in more time in London.After the Eoyal wedding ceremony shespent several hours making the finalarrangements for a dinner in aid of theIMaistow Maternity Hospital, and pre-sided at the dinner at night, at whichthe made a charming and impressivechairwoman. Always a great friend of

and Lady Derby—the duchess is asister of Lady Stanley—she had per-suaded Lord Derby to make an appeal,and the results were very satisfactory.

JIG-SAW PUZZLES.•Jig-saw puzzles arc the latest society

craze, and they arc being solved in theirdozens, not by the older people withleisure, but by the young folk. Some-tunes their afternoon and evening en-gagements arc regulated by their pro-gress with the latest jig-saw, and some-times even luncheon and cocktail hoursare overlooked or deliberately ignorpdbecause a tiny scrap of cardboard whichis the key to a good part of the picturehas hidden itself. Backgammon had atremendous run while the novelty of itlasted—it is still played a good dealuv enthusiasts—but it was neverallowed to interfere with daytime pro-grammes. Jig-saw puzzles, on the otherhand, are quite frequently got out im-mediately after breakfast, and one ortwo an; carried in six out of ten suit-cases taken lo the country at week-ends.

INVENTIVE WOMAN.HER PART IN ARTS

MAKER OF TOOLS,

(By M. B. SOLJAK.)

So far we have not touched on themany uses of skins and leather, both ofwhich play an important part in presentevery-day life. It was probably a womanwho first gave expression to the sayingthat there's nothing like leather, forour early primitive forbears were notlong content to wear the roughly-dressed skins which they gathered upfrom the bloody harvest of the hunt.They saw in the skins of animals a fur-ther medium for the display of thatartistic skill—that facility for ornamen-tation which marks the woman of most,savage tribes. The primitive bonescraper—next to the digging-stick, thefirst tool ever invented—was given com-panions—tools for the finer kinds ofrobe-making, and trimming. Clothingwas now needed for other purposes thanto shelter from the cold; cultural lifedemanded ceremonial robes, and women'sclever fingers were set to work on hidesand fur. They had learnt the trick ofdrawing off intact the skins of largeanimals, and after tanning these, deco-rated them with feathers, reeds, andtufts of hair, so that their men mightappear suitably arrayed for ceremonialoccasions. In short savage woman wasthe complete taxidermist, tanner andfurrier all in one.

The First Makers of Pottery.Women were certainly the first cera-

mic artists, and developed all the tech-nique, the forms and the uses, of pottery.Their inventions in this branch of indus-try have been far-reaching in the influ-ence which they have had in the refine-ment and development of the race, andin the rewards of happiness which theybrought to the peoples which, adoptedthe earthenware lamps, furnished withwicks of moss or fibre, which lit thehitherto dark dwellings after nightfall,and during the long winter nightsenabled much handwork to be done andgave facilities for sociability. It waethe use of clay as a medium for coveringthe woven baskets in order to fill in theinterstices, so that mushy food could beplaced in them, which first suggested theearthenware bowl. Bowls, basins, jarsand other household ware were developedin number and variety as the culturaldevelopment of the race increased. Thegeometrical patterns which had beenused on the weaving were transferredto pottery; many of the conventionaldesigns seen on the best examples ofmodern ceramic art are copied from, thework of savage women. It is interestingto note here that this industry, inventedand fostered almost universally in primi-tive communities, was lost to the Maorisand some other Polynesian races duringthe Pacific migrations, though the earlierart of weaving was preserved and con-siderably developed.

Woman's mind, ever open to sugges-tion, conceived the use of the coil bothfor utility and ornament; the fibre head-ring used for carrying heavy loads inbaskets on the head, and had suggestedthe base of bowls and jars to lendstability. Stitches, twists and knobs,easily carried over from the textile in-dustry, were employed to ornamentutensils, as also were finger-tip indenta-tions—accidental or designed. Her keenpowers of observation and imaginationsupplied ideas for further embellish-ment; thus we see in these early samplesof pottery ideographic or pictorial fea-tures which puzzle the artist or anti-quarian, but which are derived from in-telligible forms that had real meaning,but have been somewhat distorted bycarelessness or accident.

All this had much to do with theearly nurture and development of designfor every variety of goods—whetherhousehold utensils, weapons of war orthe chase, dwellings or boats. Longbefore the introduction of potterywomen had discovered and used colouras a medmm of ornament. Their textilefabrics had been decorated with colouredstripes and designs. Nature had sup-plied the pigments—white, black, brownand a variety of reds. Certain clays anddust were now applied as paint to theproducts of feminine ceramic art. Theearly wicker basket covered with clayto render it capable of holding smallgrain or mushy food had developed intothe earthenware bowl and jar, and laterinto all the various forms of pottery,the examples of which preserved in ourmuseums impress us with their beautyand utility.

Effects on Society.Before leaving the interesting and

instructive subject of primitive pottery,we should review its uses and effects onsavage society. The first woman tohave ono jar in which to cook and an-other in which to preserve food was thepioneer of culinary refinement, andenabled food to be kept and carried longdistances—a material factor in traveland exploration. The use of severalreceptacles for food at meals instead ofa common dish made for good tablemanners, and so people learned to eatwell cooked, well served food in acleanly manner. To-day it matters notwho makes crocks; they are made forwoman; her convenience and taste arenonsuited in both for use and ornamen-tation. Though her hands are no longersoiled with clay her needs and imagina-tion preside over the potter's wheel—woman is still in this and other artsthe mother of invention.

It is interesting at this juncture ofour survey of women's early activitiesand achievements to reflect that at thisperiod of their development they werethe owners of all the tools used in thevarious arts and industries as menwere of the weapons of the chase—thatis. there was tribal collective owner-ship. There was, consequently, purelyfeminine control of the means of pro-duction of a great part of the foodstores, clothing, household and otherproducts of female labour. By theiringenuity and diligence women had wonan economic position in society which,having iost, they are only now beginningto regain. Tt was the alteration in modeof li?e and production and the changein the form of the family, due to eco-nomic changes, which caused the posses-sion of tools to pass into men's hands,which in turn brought about the en-slavement of women, the effects of whichare seen i i civilised4 society to-day.

FASHION NOTES.

THE VOGUE FOR SEQUINS.

BRACELETS IN PAIRS.

(By A PARIS EXPERT.)

Women who wear sequinned dressesthis season will have the satisfaction ofknowing that they are indirectly helpinga very typically French trade to flourish,after it has been almost at a stand-still for over five years.

Prosperity has returned to the manu-facturers and "brodeuses" of sequinswith this season's fashion vagaries.Dressmakers have launched sequins asthe correct trimming f;or garments forall hours of the day, with the resultthat over 250,000 people are at workagain, busy supplying the world withthe shimmering metal varnishedwafers, which are cut in a variety ofshapes from the finest and lightestsheets of gelatine.

This year steps have been made indesigning aluminium sequins which havedepth, instead of being quite flat, andwashable sequins are made from acrystal-like composition.

A prominent manufacturer of sequinstells me that he anticipates three yearsof prosperity for the trade. As sequinscannot be produced or sold cheaply,they are not likely to become vulgar-ised through the channel of copying andcheap dressmaking, and so smart womenwill not cast them aside so quickly.

A blouse that wasnot just satin—always so obvious; norchiffon, much too thin, and unless it isvery grandly done, inevitably looks sopoor! Well, the answer to your prayerhas come this season. It is the simp-lest of the simple in black pailletteblouses. Neckline collarless at thebase of the throat, but a narrow selftie or just a diamond clip. Not evena suggestion of fullness back or front,and three-quarter loose sleeves. Youcan have long, close-fitting mittensleeves if you like. Both are equallysmart. Actually a jumper, but ajumper glorified and abandoned to thenth degree. Perfect for bridge an<lthe envy of every other woman at thetable. Smart enough to dine in infor-mally, making all the others look justa little dowdy while you try vainly topretend you don't fael like the cat thatate the canary. It is so exciting dis-covering something new. ■ And whenthat something is gay, practical, chicand not too hopelessly expensive thentruly the gods have smiled.

A Worry to Women.The new fantastic gloves are a worry

to women. They complain that velvet"■loves don't fit and that thick satin"loves give them fat fingers. Theirpoint of view is wrong. These glovesare not made to fit. They are just abright note of colour to a sombre cos-tume.

The short satin gloves go on for ever,bright purple with a white dress or witha navy blue dress, and so forth. Theyhave a new glove now, a soft tlun mattvelvet which pulls on very easily, andwhich does not make the hand look-big at all. In bright red with a blackevening frock and a short velvet coateeto top it, it is divine. Also the shortand very pale pink gloves look well witha dark dress, sometimes they have apink cire feather around the hem ofeach. All the evening gloves aresmarter if they are half way betweenthe wrist and the elbow. The slippersusually match the glove in colours, butnot necessarily. Like everything elsein fashion, cela depend.

The Best Paris Style-points.Like cream the best of the Paris sty'e-

pointe rise to the top of dresses andcoats. They are slung around the neckand shoulders. If your dress or coat isnot rig-lit at the top you are out of it,however correct the rest may be. Andyour head, too, has to look different.The new hats, and the way of arrangingyour hair, takes care of that.

Women are wearing frocks that lookexceedingly simple from the elbowsdownward. Most of the sleeves are

plain, and they are either elbow lengthor long and fitted from top to bottom.The skirts you see mostly are slim andlook simple, except for occasional ruffles,peplums or whatnot at the hips, and nowand then a hard worked hem.

But high around the neck everythingis different. Practical dresses are muf-fled up with drapery, bibe, standingcollars, scarves, bows, jabots and suchthings. Starched ruffles worked intobibs and jabots keep this detail in styleand give daintiness to plain dark frocks.Between us, girls, this white ruffledjabot and bib business, provides a neatway of bringing a simple, well-cut frockfrom last season up to present fashions.Bowe and bibs of silk and feathers thatcome up under the chin are being muchseen too. And bows, scarves and bibsof metalieed silk are good on wool orsilk dresses.

Bracelets.Bracelets are smarter when they are

worn in pairs, one on each wrist. In thegood old days it was always thus. Vic-torians did it. So did Etruscans. Amongthe Pompeian ladies mummified in lava,you never find a one bracelet girl.Delightful for the jewellers, but hardon husbands, and a point well thinkingabout lovers, before you fall in !ove.

BEADS AND EARRINGS.

A CASE TO KEEP THEM IN

Now that earrings to match necklacesare so popular, it is necessary to havethese both together to save time indressing. Here is en attractive, casewhich can lie on to the dressing table,with a bone rTng on which to clip thenecklace and an earring pocket below.

It requires two pieces of cardboardabout llin by 6in, joined .by pasting astrip of cotton material between themto give a widely expanding back. These

I must bo covered with a layer of cotton

wool, and over this the completed coveris slipped. The outside cover isornamented with rose petals cut fromcrepe paper and rolled on a knitting pinto give the curled edge, each petalscrewed up at the base to produce arounded shape. The centres of eachroso motif arc of ready-made rosestamens, but they ciin also be made ofcrochet cotton with scaling wax on theends, and are here arranged as onealmost complete circle and two incom-plete circles, a*> they do not look wellarranged on a square shape. The petalsare most attractive if a deeper or palershado is used for the reverse. Theyarc always of two thicknesses of paper,using smaller sections for the centresand, if possible, deeper colourings.

The lining has four rings, four _ bigpockets which are just one strip dividedup by stitching, and four little earringpockets also made of one narrow stripdivided by stitching.

This work is often done in all sortsof colours, but actually the colours ofroses, from yellow through flume andpink to crimson, are the safest choice.If these do not quite fit into a specialcolour scheme, the lining and bow canbe of the colour which is specially neededto repeat the scheme of the room or ofthe toilet set.

CULT OF BEAUTY.

MIRRORS OF THE SOUL.

THE LANGUAGE OF EYES,

(By A BEAUTY SPECIALIST.)

The eyes, unlike other facial features,cannot be controlled, either consciouslyor unconsciously. When every otheragent of the countenance is so cunninglyschooled in non-expression as to makethe face as immobile as a mask, thetrend of the inner working can be readin the eyes.

The greater the effort upon the partof the owner to disguise the expressionof the eyes, the more plain do theyspeak. The eye is a tale-bearer, whosemessage is positive, each act speaks inlanguage more eloquent, and with morefinality than the articulate word, thoughit may be but the turn of an eyeball,the dilation of a pupil, the lift of aneye-brow, the flick of an eyelash, thetwitch of a muscle, or again, the mannerin which the lids droop over the eyes,or one of the thousand movementspeculiar to the eyes, and their immediateagents.

Eyes may be blue, black, hazel, grey,brown, or any other colour that it ispossible for eyes to be. They may bedeep set, wide-spaced or narrow-spaced,they may be receding, bulging, slanting,half-closed or wide open, they may beround, oblong, small, large or medium,but if they are sympathetic eyes, theyare desirable eyes, and vice versa.

The eye neither too large nor toosmall, neither too stationary nor tooroaming, is the eye of constancy andhonour. Such eyes, it matters notwhat their formation or colour, nor towhom they belong, always invite confi-dence.

Shifty, roving eyes, eyes that willnot stay still, that arc constantly mov-ing in their sockets whenever theirowner is speaking, or being addressed,are expressive of an unsteady character—a character lacking in concentration,will power and definitely-directed pur-pose. In some oases, particularly if theeyes are unusually small and lackinglustre, they indicate the trickster, themischief-brewer, the liar, and, not in-frequently, the gambler and the thief.

People possessing exceedingly small,narrow-sot shifty eyes arc generallycrafty, envious, revengeful and whollyunreliable. When trapped, they do nothesitate to incriminate others to protectthemselves. Invariably they are cow-ardly and despicable, having in theirnature what is known as a "yellowstreak., ' The protruding eye, that is tosay, the eye that appears too far for-ward in its socket, portrays the sensualnature, love of personal ease, and sel-fishness. When the protruding eye is ofnondescript colour, and moves veryslowly in its socket, the individual pos-sesses an insatiable desire to revel inexotic atmospheres.

Wide-spaced eyes, vivid in colour, ifdeeply set, and straight in their sockets,express the highly artistic tempera-ment. If the colour be grey, hazel, blueor of a greenish hue, the individual ismore often than otherwise gifted withunusual talents along musical, literaryand histrionic lines.

Ninon do l'Encles had eyes of thistype. She picked her lovers whereverand whenever she chose, and wasardently beloved bj' all who knew herwell. Those eyes'bespeak the subtlyromantic person, a person who takeskeen pleasure in activity, rather thanin contemplation and expectation. Thesmall, nearly opaque eye with pupilthat refuses to dilate, even under ex-citement, is expressive of the cold, cal-culating, unyielding nature. People whoown eyes of this kind are impervious toreason, avaricious, opinionated, dog-matic and inordinately selfish. They tryto dominate everybody with whom theyare associated, and when thwarted intheir motives, become unbearable.

Slant'eyed people are another classof undesirables. They are almostalways, with exception, impracticable,unreliable and tricky. Slant-eyed peopleappear to be lacking entirely in themilk of human kindness. When eyes ofthis type are green in hue, the individualis given to vindictiveness. There is nolove or sympathy in such a nature.Rather, is the man or woman misan-thropic ajid suspicious of all humanity.

The sharp, oblong eye, set well backin the socket, if vivid in colour andpenetrating, indicates the shrewd obser-ver—one who sees everything that isgoing on. Such people arc sometimescalled lynx-eyed.

Occasionally we see eyes of deep, sea-blue, from which look that rare pearl-like expression bespeaking spirituality.These are the eyes that radiate truth,love and beauty.

Much has been said and written aboutwistful eyes and straightforward eyes.The woman with wistful, longing, hun-gry eyes, is more certain of gaining herdesires than the woman with frank,straightforward eyes. The former kindof woman does not command and dictate.She just looks wistful and says nothing,and by this wistfulness she obtains thebest that life has to give.

Upon the other hand, the woman whodemands attention either by word orlook, often finds herself disappointed.

Very infrequently we see mismatedeyes—eyes entirely unlike both in for-mation and colour. This phenomenonis rare, but when it does occur it is saidto portray a dual nature.

The beauty of the eyes may be en-hanced or destroyed by the eyebrows.Arched eyebrows are considered to bemarks of beauty which bespeak theartistic and patrician nature. Thehighly arched eyebrow portrays_a lackof self-appreciation and a negative char-acter. But when all that can be saidof eyes has been said, we have onlybrushed the surface of the subject.

Beauty Hints.However beautiful a woman may be

in every other way, unless her hair isperfectly groomed and radiates perfecthealth, her appearance is quite spoilt.The simplest and best way of caring forthe hair and keeping it in good con-dition is by regular brushing and a fewminutes daily massage. The differencethat this makes in the appearance ofthe hair is remarkable.

Choose a simple style of hair dressingand do not forget that large soft wavesare always the most becoming. A neatroll at the nape of the neck, or a smallbunch of curls is charming for the reallyfeminine type, but if you are big andboyish, the straight, sleek coiffure, withwell-polished hair, can be very attrac-tive.

COMFORTS IN BED.

CONVALESCENCE.

: While drawing-rooms and living-roomsare attracting much attention, as regards

! both luxury and comfort, the domain of• bed continues to receive singularly little

attention. Of beds much might be said,i but this is to talk of a whole country in\ which one dwells, and since the minority

*=—i of English do not know what a goud bed

is, the subject may bo left to its ownvastness. But the electric pad is a mar-vellous addition to the land of counter-pane with its capacity for remaining hotand for being turned off when not needed.Further, the wedge-shaped pillow withsprings is a help for sitting up in bed.Rubber pillows are now on the market,which work almost as well. In any case,for people eitting up in bed three pillowsare necessary; the first large and ratherhard, next a softer pillow which isslightly smaller, and thirdly a downpillow which lends itself to filling up thecracks. For sitting up in bed a ringcushion is also frequently comfortable,especially for those who have been therea long time. The great point about it isthat it should not be blown up tootightly.

The ideal bed jacket has perhaps yetto be made. Some of the most comfort-ahle are the high-necked knitted jackets.They can be made in two-ply wool,knitted loosely, and then used double—-that is to say, one jacket is lined withanother. Bed-jackets of unyieldingmaterial like crepe de chine should neverbe made with set-in sleeves. The shoul-ders need to remain entirely loose, andthe kimono shape is the best for this.Also, they should never be trimmed with6wansdown, which pricks in bed—a factthat might be remembered with regardto babies, who long suffered under thisdecoration. Where it can be put oneasily a white sweater is as good as any-thing in bed, topped with a loose woolwrap.

Where patients suffer from cold feet,socks or stockings may be made on thesame lines as the double bed-jacket. Atube may be knitted with big needlesand two-ply wool and sewn up at oneend, which is slightly shaped. Anothertube pulled over ttiis inakee a warm mix-ture. For bed for any length of time ahousewife is a boon which contains jndifferent compartments comb, powder,nail scissore, ordinary sewing materials,pen, writing-block, stamps—all thosethings, in fact, which it is so tiresometo be without and yet for which onehesitates continually to ask.

HINTS AND IDEAS.

A TRANSFORMED BASKET.

WASTE PAPER TO NEEDLEWORK.

Hours of work are spent in sewing andknitting during the winter, and here is asuggestion for a welcome gift to someindustrious friend.

Buy a fairly large waste-paper basket.A plain unpainted one will do, but takecare that it ha« a substantial base.Lacquer or paint it on the outside insome pastel shade, or in a colour whichis likely to tone with the recipient'sroom. The next step ie to eew on toone side of the basket some motifs,leaves, or other ornament. Now line theinterior with a pretty material. Measurethe circumference of the basket, andallow one and a half times the actualwidth when"preparing the stuff. Thiswill allow for a gathered effect. To geta good shaped inner base which will lieflat at the bottom of the basket, standthe basket on a piece of paper, and drawthe shape with a pencil. Allow for turn-ings when cutting the material. Join theyearns of the lining which is to cover thesides of the work-basket. Gather thebottom and the top, and draw up to thesize of the basket. Sew the base portionto this. Now fit it into the basket itself,taking care to have the nea.t sides of thejoining visible. Turn in tlie edges ofthe top of the lining, an.l sew throughthe basket, making it secure. If thework-basket is intended for a bedroom,rosebud trimming will form a suitableedging for the rim to cover up thestitches, but a ruching or other trim-ming can be used with great effect. Thistype of work-basket is most handy whenknitting, mending, or bulky sewing hasto be tidiedaway. The holding capacityof such a receptacle is surprising.

AFTER THE HOLIDAYS.A seaside holiday should bestow a

heritage of health and energy, and giveresistance to the chills and ills of winter,but if one has sun and sea bathed to avery great extent, then probably thestrong sunlight and sea breezes have hadrather a harmful effect on the skin, eyesand hair, unless care was taken at thetime to protect them. A lotion usedon the skin at the first suspicion ofredness and irritation caused by sun-burn would have prevented pain andblisters and given the skin a uniformtan that is most becoming. If the hairhad been washed in freeh water afterbathing, then all the salt would havebeen rinsed away. If it has been allowedto remain in, then the hair will needvery thorough shampooing after theholiday. Use rain water, if it is avail-able, or soft water, for washing thehair, and a very good shampoo. Mas-saging the scalp well with warm oliveoil before washing the hair will help tomake it soft and glossy. If the hair hasbeen bleached by too much exposure tostrong sunlight, or it is coarse andsticky after frequent immersions in ealtwater, it may need special treatment.Eyes that have been protected fromglare by dark glasses, and that havebeen bathed regularly with boracie lotion,will not bo reddened and watery, andthere will not be a network of finewrinkles round them, but eyes that havebeen neglected will need bathing at leasttwice a day in a warm boracie lotion.Rest them as much as possible ,and tryto lie down for half an hour every dayin a darkened room, and put pads ofcotton wool soaked in witch hazel onthe closed lids.

WHEN SOMETHING GETS IN THEEYE.

Foreign bodies in the eye are com-mon and irritating, but, on the whole,not as dangerous as foreign bodies in

the ear or nose. If the grit, or what-ever it is, is loose and can be seen,there is little difficulty in removing it.If it cannot be seen, it is almost forcertain under the upper lid. To removeit. the eyelid has to be turned over.This is not at all difficult if you knowhow to do it. It is a trick that every-body should be taught how to do, forit is certain to be wanted at some timewhen no help is available. If you can-not get it out, put a few drops of castoroil into the eye, bandage the eye, andleave it on all night; in the morningmost probably the grit will have die-appeared. Occasionally foreign bodiesbecome embedded in the transparentpart of the eye. These bodiee arealways extremely small, but very dis-tressing. Do not attempt to removethem, but let a doctor do it at once.The commonest cauee of these accidentsiri looking out of train windows whilstthe train ie in motion, the body beingalmost always a fragment of coal grit.Don't let children look out of opentrain windows.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Neuralgia can often be relieved byrubbing the affected area with a fresh-cut lemon.

Vitamins in diet are important. Vita-mins A and D are in fats—butter andcream; B in the germ of wheat, eggyolk, milk, liver, kidney and greenvegetables; C in fresh fruit.

To boil vegetables well, place themin faet-boiling water, bring quickly tothe boiling point again, not allowingthem to steep in the hot water beforeboiling, which toughens them and de-stroys both flavour and colour.

Black dye will be a better colour if asmall quantity of green dye, about thesixth part of a packet, is mixed withthe black. In dyeing green articles

'black, the green dye must be omitted.A delicious flavour is given to prunes

if a etick of cinnamon is stewed withthem, and if you add a teaspoonful ofpowdered gelatine to the liquid, itmakes it set and the result ie an un-usual sweet.

Hot puddings are sometimes difficultto turn out from the basin in whichthey were cooked. Should there be anydifliculty, wrap a cloth that has beenwrung out in cold water round themfor a minute or two, and it will thenbe found that the puddings come outwithout any trouble.

Irons, especially U they have beenused for garments that have beenstarched, should be cleaned before theyare put away. Wash them in hot soapywater, to which a teaspoonful of am-monia has been added. If no starchhas been used, the usual rubbing onwire gauze is sufficient to clean theiron.

When taking out oil or grease stainsfrom material with petrol, always havea piece of clean blotting paper to coverthe stain, then apply petrel. Do thisout of doors. The stain will be foundto soak into the blotting paper, thuspreventing an ugly stain being left onthe material.

LA BONNE CUISINE.SAVOURIES POPULAR.

USE OF EGGS

(By A FRENCH CHEF.)

Savoury dishes, both hot and cold,afford ample choice as well as an im-mense scope for effective designs, eothat, no matter what season of theyear, there should be no difficulty infinding a good number to select fromwhen compiling a menu. Savouries,both hot and cold, are always popular.During recent years their popularityhas considerably increased, with theresult that a great number of savourydishes are being constantly introduced.

There are a number ot articles pre-served in pote and bottlee, such as sav-oury fish and meat preparations thatare ready for immediate use after beingslightly heated and dressed on a croute,canape, or rounds of toast, and in thisway can be converted into dainty sav-ouries. All preparations intended to beserved as savouries miiet be made upin small or individual portions,

Cheese Fritters.One egg well beaten with pepper and

salt with a little milk. Grate 3oz ofcheese, add the mixture to it, with apiece of butter and a little more milk.Well butter some pate pans, put in themixture, and bake in the oven about 15minutes. They should be slightlybrown on top; this makes live fritters,

Oeufs au Gratin.Cut six hard-boiled eggs in slices, and

arrange them in layers in a well-but-tered fireproof dish. Season each layerand dust over it a thin coating ofgrated cheese. Then moisten well withwhite sauce.

When the dish is filled, shake gratedcheese over the whole surface, moisten-ing it with melted butter. Heatthoroughly and brown the surface.

Another Egg Savoury.Fry a sliced onion in an ounce of

butter, till it is cooked, but not browued.Add a teaspoonful of flour, aud whiskthem well together, adding as muchcream as will make it a thick batter.Put this mixture into a basin, andbreak three eggs in singly, using onlythe yolks. Work into the batter, add-ing a little salt. Beat the whites ofthe eggs to a stiff sauce, and stir gentlyin. Place this mixture in a mould linedwith buttered paper. Bake for three-quarters of an hour, and pour whitesauce over them readv to serve.

Oeufs a la Normande.When quite cold cut up six hard

boiled eggs, turn out the yolks, mixwith finely chopped truffles" and thenput the mixtures into the whites. Servein mayonnaise sauce, to which has beenadded chopped truffles. A plainervariation of this dish can be made withthe yolks being mixed with a paste ofpickled shrimps, instead of truffles, andgarnished with young lettuce leaves.

Oeufs Sauce Bechamel.Hard boil four eggs, separate the

yolks from the whites, and put theyolks into a mortar, with one rawyolk and an ounce and a half of butter.Work well together. Cut the whitesinto strips, and put them into half apint of Bechamel sauce. Serve hot ona dish with the yolks rubbed through acoarse sieve, and shaken over them.Garnish with croutons and brown thetop. This white sauce can be used asthe foundation of many egg dishes. Itcan be varied almost inh'nitum, withherbs, truffles, anchovies and mush-rooms.

A Piquante Entree.Split four pigeons, sprinkle with salt

and pepper, knead together two ouncesof butter and one largo tahlespoonfiil offlour. Spread this on the split bird.Heat a little dripping in a baking tin,put the birds on it, and bake in a hotoven. Baste them well during thebaking. Meanwhile, part-boil threechicken livers, then fry them brown ina little butter, chop them finely, mixwith them a good seasoning of salt andpepper, a suspicion of cayenne, a fewdrops of onion juice, and a small sprigof parsley finely chopped. Mix togetherwith the butter in the pail they werefried in, and make very hot-.

Have ready four slices of hot toast,spread the liver juice on them, placehalf a bird on each, and serve very hot.

Shrimp en Casserole.One tin of potted shrimp, one and a

Mix the hot white sauce, pepperand cheese, and pour over the shrimppaste. Cover with the breadcrumbs,and put in the oven until the crumbsarc brown. Serve at once.

CHILDREN'S LUNCH.It is sometimes necessary for children

to take their lunch with them to school,when the school is eo far away fromhome that it makes a journey home intlio middle of the day difficult. Mothersehould try to vary this meal as muchas possible. In a vacuum flask, thinsoup, such a» chicken or veal broth, canbe carried sometimes, hot milk or cocoaon other days. Occasionally, a meatpastie may be included, and hard-boileVleggs are easy to carry and nourishing.Fruit, of course, rilust always be in thelunch packet, one or two apples, anorange or banana, a pear or a few grapes.Plain chocolate and chocojato-coveredbiscuits are nourishing and beloved byall children. Older boys and girls maylike plain biscuits, buttered, and a littlepacket of cheese sometimes. Plain,home-made cakes arc, of course, alwayspopular with children, and small packetsof roisins and nut.s are nourishing. Thebasis of the lunch will generally be sand-wiches. Vary the fillings—tomato, egg,cress, home-made potted meat, cheese,honey, jam—are good. Use good butter.

BAKED APPLES.When apples are to bo baked in the

oven their cores should first be removedby means of a special circular apple-corer. A slight incision should then bemade with a knife all round the middleof each apple. The skins may thenbe removed without difficulty when theapples are done. If no special corer <?

available an ordinary potato poolermakes a aood substitute. It should beinserted just at one side oi thepressed down right through the apple,and then turned round once ov twiceIt will cut the core out neatly, withoutany waste.

MEMOIRS OF SCOTLAND YARD.

DE MEIER DIAMONDS MYSTERY.

SOLUTION OF BURGLARY TAKES NINE YEARS — £80,000 HAULULTIMATELY RECOVERED — SEARCH THROUGHOUT BRITAINYIELDS RESULTS — SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY IN PARIS — SECRETSOF A FORGOTTEN OLD BICYCLE — RICH REWARD FOR DETECTIVE.

(By CECIL BISHOP, Ex-C.I.D.—AII Rights Reserved.)

When, one morning in 1013, Detective-Inspector Lewia told me to take chargeof a case which has come to be knownaa "The De Meier Diamonds Mystery,"I little guessed that I was starting on thebiggest case, outside murder, of my career,and that I should not see the end o£ ituntil 1921, nine years later. The facte ustold me by Detective-Inspector Lewis weresimple and few. It appeared that the•wife of Senor da Meier, an immensely•wealthy gentleman, living in Paris, hadreturned home one night from the theatreto find her jewel cases open and some'£80,000 worth of diamonds and pearlsmissing. The police were telephoned andon their arrival they found that Senor deMeier's valet, a man named Ruebenthal,•was also missing. Putting two and twotogether they' immediately instituted asearch for him, and not many hours laterfound him at a. small Montmartre cafe.

He was dead drunl:, but when he cameround in the police station acknowledgedbeing concerned in the theft. He saidthat he had worked with tw-o other men.■who had driven up in a taxi and they hadgone to the cafe to discuss the best methodof disposing of the loot. He added thathis two friends had made him drunk, andthen gone off. He did not hesitate to givetheir names, Outh and Schmidt, addingthat he believed they had gone to London.That was how Scotland Yard becameconcerned in the crime. I knew my isoho■well in those days. It was full t>lGermans, but I had good friends m thecafes and did not hesitate to search lorthe missing men. Whether 1 should alsofind the jewellery which from Senor deMeir's point of view was of hardly lessimportance was another matter.

This done, I then determined to playthe detective's trump card—a visit to thewoman in the caee. Mrs. Porter openedthe door.

"Where is Mr. Porter?" I asked."He is out," she replied."No he's not," I replied quietly, he s

in, and likely to remain for some time."What do you mean?" she stammered."Hans Porter is in Bow Street."Mrs. Porter fainted, and it was some

lime before we could bring her round.'"The pig, the fool," she screamed as ehecame to, evidently referring to her hus-band. "Ho was going to take her toGermany. He thought I did not know.

"Hans has talked." I added, and thenmade a shot in the dark. "The stuff isn'there is it? It's across the water."

"Yes, that's right," she replied vaguely,jealousy written over her face. "1 dbetter show you."

Some Jewellery Recovered.She took us to the house in th-5

Waterloo Road, across the river, aiid_ \ve

were greeted by a relation of Hans, iheman refused to say anything and showedfight, so we started to search the house.In the wardrobe I found a leather casecontaining a quantity of jewellery, whichI immediately recognised as stolen. Butalthough I searched the rest of the house,even prodding the padded backs of thechairs, I found nothing else. There wasstill missing a diamond necklace valuedat about £30,000, a beautiful pearl neck-lace, and many other articles.

Nothing more could be done beforePorter and Steine were brought up andremanded. Looking round the crowdedcourt I saw the German girl whomPorter had visited—Hedwig Schubert. Ispoke to her as she was leaving the court.

"You may be wanted as a third personfor receiving part of the jewellery." She

A Would-be Informer.I first gearched a German club, and

fcure enbugii I met a man named Porter,who whispered that he knew a thing ortwo about the movements of> the twowanted men. He meant, in fa*, to turninformer. There was nothing surprisingin this, but what was more surprising

was that Porter was gambling at the cluoVery 'freely and for high stakes. He wasa. tailor by trade, aud tailors before the

did not earn sufficient t« bet in

pound and five pound stakes He wasilso extremely well dressed, but that Iput down to his trade

It is always important that the policefchould know how much faith they can putin "information received." I knew very

little about Porter; but he Bounded as it

he might be a useful informer, and accord-ingly I had him put under special observa-tion, which meant in effect that he wasShadowed day and night. A week s specialobservation, I thought, would show mewhether he was a man to be trusted.

The two detectives detailed for thisepecial observation, Millmaker and Gray,Boon found a good deal to interest me.They learned that, although Porter wab

married, he had a "sweetheart, and they

also named Steine, with whom lie con-ducted ■ some ■ very suspicious transactions.I felt that we were on the right tracS anddetermined to see Porter again. But 1knew he would do nothing it he guessed

that I was watching, so I paid a visit tomy old friend Gustay, of Long Acre, ,and■was thoroughly disguised.' I took a tube to the German club andPorter stood within a couple ot feet witli-out giving any signs of recognition, so 1guessed I was all right. Presently he satSown to gamble. He lost steadily. He wasa born gambler but an unlucky one.Millmaker told me that he had lost £100©n the previous night, but this night lie

was about square. However, as heetretched out his hands I noticed that onthe third finger of his left hand was adiamond solitaire worth probably ribont£100—and very like one of the missing

articles. Further, I noticed that he was■wearing a tie pin of unusual design—alyre set with diamonds—and ■ a similararticle had been amongst the stolen jewel-lery Hans Porter, I realised, was not a"copper's nark" but a "double crasser Iwas full of spirits as I followed him out ofthe club at 11 P.m. to the flat of Hedw.gSchubert, to whom he was paying greatattention.

Two Arrests Made.Mennwbilc, Millmaker and Gray had

kept Porter under observation and dis-covered that he was going to meet bteine,a receiver in Appenrodt's. near TottenhamCourt Road, at five o'clock. The appoint-ment had been made in German, but they

both understood the language. I decidedthat the time had come to act nud deter-mined to arrest Porter and Slcine. Ihepossession of the stolen articles was suih-cient. and I did not doubt that morecould come out iu due course. I rangFraser again and asked him to meet meshortly before five, if lie wanted to be infit the death." He agreed and said thathe would brill!.' his son. .

As we wanted to know what transpiredbetween Porter and Steine at the inter-view without arousing their suspicions woasked Millmnker's fiancee to have tea-.atthe restaurant and keep the men underobservation. . She came out and crossedthe road to us, and told us that the twomen had been discussing jewellery andexamining the specimens. -At a quarter tosix the two men came and we follower!them quietly, until they shook hands andsaid good-bve. 'when I went up to themand said. "I am going to arrest you an rcharge of fltwiliun fW'l receiving af)fuiitityof jewellery." Both men protested theirinnocence, but I started to take themtowards Bow Street, which was very near.

started, and then exclaimed, "I had notn-ing to do with it." I let her go, butfollowed her to the house where shewas employed as a maid, and asked to secher mistress. I told her the facts as taras I knew them, and explained my susjpicion. The mistress was for "sacking"the girl there and then, but I askedher to wait until J. knew something moredefinite. Js'ot only had I not 6umcientevidence to convict the girl, but also Jhad hopes of trackiug eome of thejewellery.

I returned later with Millmaker, andfound the girl very upeet by our atten-tions. "I aeeure you I have nothing," sheprotested.

"Thank you," I replied, "but I shouldlike to assure myself."

"No. You must not come into myroom," she gasped. "Well, I will admitthat Hans gave me this," and she heldout a large diamond.

"Tβ that all he gave you 1" I chal-lenged.

"Yee," ehe nodded defiantly."Then you will not mind our searching

your room?""You cannot do that. Look, he also

gave me this," and ' she produced adiamond ring. So we played cat and mouseand in a few moments-a pair of diamondear-rings were forthcoming.

Search of Woman's Room.Just at this point the girl's mistress

came into the room. Schubert started herpleading over again, but when ehe sawthat I was determined, was not so polite.I gave the official caution and started onthe search.

The expression on Schuberts face toldme that I was not far from the "thimble"when I startled her on going to themantelpiece of the kitchen. There weresome of those fancy tea canisters on themantelpiece, and I opened them. Notdiamonds, but breadcrumbs, greeted myeyes. I tipped up the canisters, and a ringrolled out, then another; altogether 1counted up about £500 worth of jewellery.

We took her to Bow Street, and shewas remanded. Then I started trying totrace the jewellery through the pawn-brokers. They had, of course, acted quitehonestly, not knowing that the jewellerywas stolen. I brought back many thous-and pounds' worth of rings, pendants andear-rings, but still I had only a fraction ofthe haul.It looked as if I might very -well spend

the rest of my life in looking for the DeMeier diamonds—and pearls.

One day I was called on the telephoneand to my surprise learned that Schubert'smistress was at the other end. "I havebeen packing the girl's things," she said."Of course she will never come back here.I found some papers sticking out of atear in her corsets. Would you like tosee them?" I slammed down the receiverand went to Maida Vale as fast as thetube would carry me.

Jewels Scattered Over Britain.I was not disappointed. The. papers

which had been so carefully concealed con-sisted of a note from Hans and somememoranda giving a number of addresses,many of winch were in the provinces. Twent back to the Yard to obtain permis-sion to visit the addresses, and found thatSenor do Meier had arrived from Pansand that photographs of the stolen jewel-lery were being enlarged. Armed withthese photographs, I travelled up to Glas-gow, where I recovered a considerableamount of the jewellery, and to variousother towns. To give details would bewearisome, Anonymous letters, ''tips"given me in bars, gossip talked over bad;garden walls', , all helped me in my search.Bv the time F got back to London theaccounts n't Scotland Yard were beginningto balance, and Porter and Steine were upfor trial. Porter got 18 months, but Sternewas wanted by the German police i'or a

serious offence, so ho was deported. Thegirl Hedwig was acquitted on the groundsthat she had been coerced.

But the puzzling aspect of the case was"Where were the pearls?" They wereprobably the most valuable single articlein the collection, worth £30,000, perfectlymatched and all beautiful specimens. Morethan once my mind turned over the pro-blem. I had not found the pearls inany pawnbroker's, and eventually 1 cametothe conclusion that they had not beenpawned. Such a valuable article wouldhave attracted too much attention. Think-ing over the case, I came to the conclu-sion that perhaps Ruebenthal was not soguiltless as hu pretended.

During one of my leaves in Paris 1found a little more out about this man.He had been released to servo in thearmy also, and had been "killed." Theonly other details that I could discoverabout the theft were that he had appar-ently gone straight to the cafe with hisconfederates and that at the cafe he hadhad a bicycle on which he intended tocycle to the coast. The police had foundhim drunk and drugged before he couldget away.

Mystery of the Pearls.There was no time for investigations

then, but when in 1021 I again foundmyself in Paris on private business, Idecided to take a look at the cafe inMontmartre. I quickly got into conver-sation with the proprietor. "Yes, he toldmo, "he remembered the case, hadtaken over the cafe after that date."

"Did you remember the bicycle? Jasked. .

"Yes. I believe there wits a bicycleamong the many effects bought with thecafe. ...

'•Where is the bicycle now.'He shrugged his shoulders non-commit-

tally. He thought it might be in thecellar under some lumber. It was worth-less, rusted and tyreless."I should like to have that bicycle, 1

said, "just as a souvenir, if it is worthyour time getting it out for 00 francs letme have it."

"Ah, Monsieur," he gasped, there iscoal on it. How could you take awaysuch a bicycle?"

"Never mind." I said firmly, you give

mo that bicycle and I will give yourgareon 00 francs for his trouble in diggingit out. I will call round to-morrow."

A Rusty Old Bicycle.I enlisted the help of a man with a

barrow and we wheeled the rusty oldbicycle to the hotel. The cafe proprietorhad not exaggerated its condition, and theconcierge raised his eyebrows, and when Ipresented myself and asked him to takethe old machine up to my room he thoughtthat I had gone completely mad.

Once T had locked the door I startedwork with almost feverish eagerness. Thegreat moment had arrived when I was totest the theory I had formulated inhospital. I pulled oIT the rusty handle barsand inserted a long steel spike in the hol-low steel. I was rewarded with a few piecesof mouldy brown paper. I jigged the spikeabout—and a pearl rolled out! Ouo afteranother I caught them as they fell.

The complete necklace lay in my dress-ing room! Ruebenthal had not been com-pletely fooled! He had intended keepingtho necklace ns his own little nest egg.Thus ended the Do Meier mystery. Almostevery piece of jewellery was accounted for.I returned the pearls to their owner andreceived a handsome reward.

After listening to a remarkable storywhich had as its basis a double tragedyin a Bristol homo, the coroner for thatcity, Mr. A. E. Barker, turned to thejury and remarked:--''Fortunately wo arenot a divorce court and equally fortunatelywe are not a court of morals. Wo neednot investigate the peculiar behaviour inpeople's marital companionships except iiiso far as it will heli> you to determine thecausa of death."

The chief figures in this death dramawere:—George James Crook, 30, of BrookRoad, Fishponds, Bristol, and MarianHilda Thomas, 'M, of Fishponds Road,Bristol, who were discovered gassed ineach other's arms at the man's house.Several letters which they left Mere readby the coroner and the jury, but thecontents were not divulged.

"Had he been on friendly terms with thedead woman for some time?" inquired thecoroner.

Known as "Mrs. Gibson.""Yes," replied Mrs. Crook, who added

that she had known the woman as "Mrs.Gibson," and that she used to visit thehouse. A few days previously she came tothe house with her husband.

"Up to the time of the tragedy," con-tinued Mrs. Crook, "they occupied thesame bedroom. I slept in another room.On tin- evening before the tragedy, wewere all three in a downstairs room untilnearly midniirht."

Coroner: What happened about mid-night?—-My husband ordered me to go tobed.

Which yon did, leaving him and Mrs.Gibson apparently making tea?—Yes.

Mrs. Crook described how early nextmorning she smelt gas, and later herhusband and the woman were found lyinggassed on a bed.

A constable revealed that the door ofthe bedroom where the tragedy occurredwas barricaded from the inside with achair under the handle and a tyre lever.In the bed, completely covered by thebedclothes, he found Crook and thewoman interlocked in each other's arms.A gas tube connected to a bracket hadbeen placed between them.

Her Married Name.Mr. Frederick Arthur Hutton, of St.

Andrew's Road, Montpelier, stated thatthe dead woman was his daughter, andher married name was Marian HildaThomas. She was the wife of AlbertThomas, an ex-tram conductor.

Coroner: Your daughter wan desertedsome years since, wasn't she?—Yea.

Coroner: Sonic feu' months sincp youtook n flat and lived with her?—Ye*. Itook it because I have been ill with astroke and she did most of the work.

Mr. Gibson went on to say that ho wentwith the woman to the Crook's house one

night filid stayed until next day. "We hadii bit of a row, and, without having anydinner, I went to my flat," he explained.

Coroner: Did you know Crook before?—Yes, about two years.

Have relations been quite friendly withhim?— Mo. I suppose 1 had butter tell youtln> truth.

Relations with hie wife quite friendly?—Oil, yes, friendly enough there, but notwith the. man.

Any trouble with the husband about hiswife:—No.

in his summing-up the coroner observedthat it was clearly a case of a suicide

The jury returned a verdict of suicidewhile ol" unsound mind in each case.

OLD CRIMINAL.

BRAIN BEHIND THEFTS

MAIL-BAG ROBBERIES

A man of 79, stated by a detective in-spector to have been regarded by thepolict; for many years as the "brain"behind many mail-bag robberies and bigcases of warehouse safe breaking, wassentenced to 15 months' hard labour atthe London Sessions.

"He has done no work that I can tracefor the past 30 years/' said the inspector.••When questioned, he replied: .'I am asoldier of fortune.' "

The man was John Brown, describedas an engineer. He pleaded guilty withHenry Myers, aged Co, a traveller, whowas sentenced to live years' penal servi-tude, and Frank Jayes, aged 65, warehouse-man, who was sentenced to 15 mouths'hard labour, to breaking and entering aRochester Row. Westminster, warehouseand stealing 40,750 cigarettes and 150cigars.

Detective Inspector Dance said thatBrown had not been convicted in thiscountry, to which ho returned from theUnited States 30 years ago. In New Yorkho was sentenced to four years' and laterto ten years' imprisonment for burglary,and nt Boston to one year for vagrancy.

With Clevor Criminals."Despite the fact that he has not been

previously convicted in this country," con-tinued the inspector, "he has been underobservation by the police for months onend. Ten years ago I followed him dailyfor many weeks, and during that time sawhim associate with some of the cleverestcriminals operating in England at thattime.

"He has been an associate of Myers forthe past 20 years. In 1022 he was suspectedof being concerned with others in thetheft of jewellery valued at £12,000."

In reply to Mr. E. H. Butcher, defend-ing, Inspector Dance said he was notaware that Brown had u sister, a Mrs.Robertson, who was the wife of a New-York millionaire, and had been in re-ceipt of £10 a month from her until ninemonths ago. He agreed that the policehad never had sufficient evidence on whichto convict Brown. "He has been tooclever, and has kept out of harm's way,"he said.

Sir Percival Clarke, the chairman, com-mended the work of four police ofliccrswhich led to the arrest of the trio.

VAIN SACRIFICE.

WOMAN'S TWO MARRIAGBS

More than twenty years ago a youngEnglish girl, daughter of a widow livingiu the South-west of London, had herdreams of bliss shattered by an accidentthat crippled her boyhood sweetheart forlife.

When the cripple's resources ran outand there were no other means of findingfunds for the luxuries and the life in theSouth of France that had been ordered,the girl decided to sacrifice herself bymarrying a rich man.

For a time all went all with the fortunesof Miss Kose Gaskin, the girl in question,now Mrs. John Proctor, but one clay ablackmailer surprised her secret andunder threats of exposure, bled her tosuch an extent that when the rich husbanddied the fortune she anticipated was somuch mortgaged that she had to contracta new union to enable her to look atterher invalid lover.

From the doting second husband thewife obtained for some years enough toprovide for the lover and pay tribute tothe blackmailer. But recently the positionwas aggravated by the advent of a secondblackmailer.

As long as she could the woman paid,placing herself hopelessly in the power ofmoneylenders. Unfortunately the twoblackmailers increased then- demands tosuch an extent that the unhappy wife hadto stand up to them. They then carriedout their throats, and when the facts werelaid before the husband lie started divorceproceedings which are now in the ParisCourts.

And on the very day when slie sawherself cited before the divorce judges, theunhappy woman learned that the man forwhom she had sacrificed herself hadfound a new protector, a rich Americanwoman whom he had met on the Kiviera!

In consequence, when the woman whomarried two other men for love of a thirdbegins her life as a divorced woman at theago of forty-two, burdened with debts shecan never hope to pay, she will have themortification of seeing the cripple forwhom she sacrificed so much united to awoman nearly twenty years older thanherself.

WOMEN CRIMINALS

UNDERWORLD SCHOOLS.

Women specialists in crime, trained inschools of the underworld, are causing in-creasing trouble to the police forcesthroughout Britain. Their particular linesof activity include blackmail, the con-fidence game, forgery, shop-lifting, house-breaking and burglary.

The latest available annual statistics forEngland and Wales show that the numberof women aged sixteen and over foundguilty of indictable offences was 0779. In1929 the figure was 6044.It is believed that figures are not a true

reflection of the part women arc now-taking in crime. Many are so skilful thatthey escape detection. Few play a lonehand. Most of them work in associationwith gangs of expert men crooks.

Women taking part in houscbreakingarc usually employed as scouts. They arecalled "drummers." Their job is to go toa house, and, if there is no one at home,call the men of the gang, who actuallybreak in. Their next task is to help dis-pose; of the stolen goods to receivers. Evenif the men are caught, their women alliesgenerally escape.

Best Woman Housebreaker.Poorly dressed, wearing an old-fashioned

"granny's" hat and hardly able to see overtjic dock rail, a 01-year-old woman wasdescribed at London Sessions last monthas one of the best women housebreakersin England. She was Ellen Barnes, a cook,who pleaded guilty to breaking and enter-ing a Kensington flat on two occasions.

She was sentenced to two years' hardlabour, and warned by the Chairman, SirPercival Clarke, that if she appearedbefore him again she would go to penalservitude.

Detective-Sergeant O Sullivan said thatBarnes, a single woman, had had 11 con-victions since" 1916. her offences includingburglary, housebreaking, theft and falsepretences. She was released from gaol lastMay. "She is a very cunning and cleverhousebreaker.', he continued. "She usesfalse keys. On one occasion she went to apolice court, obtained the address of awoman witness, and broke into her housewhile she was giving evidence."

Barnes asked that two other cases shouldbe taken into consideration and SergeantO'Sullivan said that both these referred toyoung women whose mothers were in Hol-loway gaol. In one case she had produceda letter asking to be allowed to have thekeys of the flat and in the other she hadrepresented herself 'as a wardress.

"Barnes is a very daring housebreaker."lie added. "In fact, she is regarded .isbeiiitf one of the best women housebreakersin England, she is so persistent."

Sir Percival, commenting on SergeantO'Sullivau's evidence, said, "I gather thisis an occupation women are taking upnow."

REPLIES TO INQUIRIES.

INQUISITIVE (Mount Eden).—The littlelady you expect to see in "Imitation ofLife" is known to the cinema world as"Baby Jane" ; known, however, to herparents as Janet and to the registrar ofbirths as Juanita Quigley. She is justturned three, measures 33 inches fromtop to toe, and makes instant friends•with dogs of every variety and descrip-tion. Incidentally, it is stated that shegot her role in this film, her first, becauseher parents, tired of being asked whysuch a lovely and talented child livingin Hollywood, was not in pictures,accepted the offer of an agent whostopped them in the street and suggestedfilm work as Miss Quigley's career.

PE MILLIAN (Waiotahi).—Yes, I ratherfancy yo>u are not exactly alone in youropinion of the great Cecil B. de Mille—"See-bee," as Miss Mollie Merrick insistson calling him. That middle name, bythe way, is Blount. The world in generaldoes not realise that that "B." is onlyan initial—it-knows him so well that itimagines Cecii B. de Mille must be hisfull name. Katherine de Mille, seen in"The Belle of the Nineties," "Viva Villa,"and a number of other films of late, is

" his raven-haired daughter. Cecil B. alsohas a certain talented brother by thename of William, who is an executive ofsorts in the same studio at Hollywood.The great master, incidentally, is aboutto produce yet another lavish historicalspectacle film in "The Crusades," againwith Henry Marc Antony Wilcoxon rn thelead—this time as Richard Coeur de Lion,none other!

The directorial eyes of British studiosare at present focused on the little red-Ihaired wife of Anthony Bushell, ZelmaO'Neal, who plays a prominent part inthe forthcoming release, "There GoesSusie." Zelma recently created a sensa-tion in the film "Give Her a Ring," andever since producers have found it diffi-cult to pass her when casting for comedyleads. "There Goes Susie," a sparklingcomedy, ie Zelma's fourth British film,and in it she leaps to fame. She will befeatured in this production with GeneGerrard and Wendy Barrie, who are thestar players.

In order to have a dark make-up whichwill not Come off when he is appearingin his role of Johnny Ramirez, a boun-dary caballerp, in "Bordertown," PaulMuni has had to resort to walnut stainfor his hands. This means, of course,that the star's hands will be Mexicanbrown for many months. Muni hasevolved his own special walnut stainbrew. He pounds husks and nuts in abowl until the juice runs. Then hesteeps the liquid a little bit and applies.This may be valuable information tothose interested in acquiring a long-last-ing sun tan.

Claudetto Colbert has a distinctly-modern role in the picture version ofFannie Hurst's "Imitation of Life." Thestory opens with a coloured womansecuring a situation as Claudette Col-bert's housekeeper and cook, in ex-change for a home for herself and child.The two women start a store, in whichthey sell pancakes made from a secretrecipe provided by the coloured woman.Prom this point the story details thewhole lives of the two women who,though working side by side, work outtheir destinies in different ways, theone making a success of her life andrising to a high social position, whilethe other, though equally successful,has her life complicated by problemsof race, which defeat her in the end.There are many amusing incidents inthe lives of the two women, and NedSparks, as the business manager of"Aunt Delilah's Pancake Flour." turnsin a splendid comedy performance.Others who help to make this a mostoutstanding picture are Rochelle Hud-son, Alan"Hale, "Baby Jane," LouiseBo- ■era and Henry Armetta.

George Raft, wishing to amazeChinese extras on the "LimehouseNights" set, went to Ohinatown seekingto increase his Oriental vocabularyabout 1000 per cent. He did that allright, but what he sprung on the lads,to his own amazement, was a choice col-lection of Chinese "cuss words," whichhe reeled off with great personal satis-faction.

Perhaps a bit old, but still very good,is Robert Riskin's quip, with FrankCapra at the receiving end. Riskin isthe man who writes those clever screenplays which Capra directs 60 brilliantly.After finishing their latest, "StrictlyConfidential," the busy Capra decidedto indulge in the luxury of an appen-dicitis operation which he had been put-ting off for a long time. When Capracame out of the ether after the suc-cessful operation he found the followingtelegram from Riskin: "Sorry I couldn'tbe present at your opening."

"Happiness Ahead" glorifies one of thefew unsung heroes of modern life—thewindow washer. This, of course, is , inci-dental to the romantic thread of thestory, but has much to do with, theromance. Washing dangerously highwindows of the CO and 70 storey sky-scrapers of Gotham is no small problem.It is simply one of those things takenas a matter of course. In "HappinessAhead" these daring mop-and'-pail per-formers not only do their "stunts" butengage in hair-raising fights with deadlyenemies. Dick Powell as fche brave youngwindow washer, and Josephine Hutchin-son as the beautiful cause of his heart-throbs, are leading figures in this bigcity romance.

A certain affluent Hollywood pro-ducer recently had his whole companyin fits of laughter. He had his camera-men filming a swimming pool sequencein a musical production, with dozensof bright young things diving into thepool, swimming across, then runningback around the "set" and diving inagain. This went on until one of thegfrls fainted in the water and had tobe dragged out. After emergencytreatment had faikd to revive her, thedirector shouted: "Here, somebody, getan artificial respirator!" The producer,who was dancing around with excite-ment, fairly bellowed: "What do r°«mean 'get an artificial respirator?' Io-ot plenty of money. Get a real one!"

"Whither Mankind?" one of the mostambitious films ever attempted by anycompany, and specially written for thefilms by H. G. Wells, will be finishedearly this year. It will attempt to showexactly what will happen in a hundredyears to come. The army of expertsassembled to work on this film includesWilliam Cameron Menzies, who willdirect; Harry Zech, who will photograph(and who was responsible for the mag-nificent photography in "Hell's Angels");Ned Mann, Hollywood's famous expertfor special fakes and trick work; Law-rence Butler, famous for intricate modelwork; and Vincent Korda, art director;and many famous architects, mechanicalexperts and dress designers.

Between making pictures in Holly-wool, Jackie Coogan is studying to bea lawyer. His latest picture is "Homeon the Range."

A suggestion that a statue should beerected to I Walt Disney, creator ofMickey Mouse and "Silly Symphony"cartoons, wae made in London by SirHarry Brittain at the annual dinner ofthe Institute of Amateur Cinemato-graphera at the Mayfair Hotel. "WaltDisney," he said, "is a man who hasbrought as much happiness to millionsas Sir James Barrie has to hundreds ofthousands. I think it would be'a de-lightful gesture on the part of Englandif somewhere, in an appropriate place,a little statue could be put up. I thinkit would be much appreciated."

A picture contract has succeeded inluring Mary Ellis, Broadway musicalcomedy star, to the Hollywood screenafter several seasons on the Londonstage and in British films. Miss Ellis,who scored her greatest triumph in NewYork in "Rose Marie," has also ap-peared in singing roles on the stage ofthe metropolitan opera and also in lightoperettas. For two seasons on theLondon stage she appe (ared in the highlysuccessful English production of "MusicIn the Air," and was in last season'samazing and mysterious flop, the play"Josephine," which lasted five nights inthe West End. Between stage engage-ments she has been appearing in Britishfilm productions. The first Hollywoodassignment for Miss Ellis will be thefeminine lead opposite Carl Brisson inthe light opera, "All the King'sHorses."

Margaret Sullavan in "The ' GoodFairy" has a role built to her order.The story is one that will appeal toeveryone, because it is the sort of lovestory that every single person wouldlike to imagine having happened, or

about to happen in their own personalexperience. This heart-appealing taleof a lovely girl worshipped by threemen who finds herself suddenly trans-ported from the fairy-like atmospherewhich she has built up for herselfwithin the walls of an otherwise draborphan asylum into the whirl of a bigcity's everyday life, has one of the fin-est love stories ever told by the screen,plus a minor chord of humour that con-stantly crops out as a mirthful springsometimes agitates the calmer surfaceof a tranquil pond. The supportingcast includes Herbert Marshall, Regi-nald Owen, Frank Morgan and AlanHale.

COMEDY AND HUMAN DRAMA are said to make splendidentertainment of John M. Stahl's "Imitation of Life," in which ClaudetteColbert (how altered from the Cleo of the Nile!) and Louise Beaversreach success through the manufacture of cakes by a secret recipe. The

film is due for early local release.

BERGNER THE ARTIST.

HER TEST AS AN ACTRESS.

LIGHT ON A GREAT CAREER.

(By WEE WILLIE.)

Devious indeed are the roads totheatrical success. When she was almost14, Elisabeth Bergner began to practiseher art. Born in Vienna in 1900, shewas touring the Austrian and Germanprovinces at the age of 16 with aShakespearean repertoire company,playing Rosalind, Viola and Ophelia. At20 she was playing Juliet with Moissi inBerlin.

Miss Bergner, who startled the greatEnglish-speaking cinema world as Alex-ander Korda's "Catherine the Great,"has her future all mapped out. Withthe acclamations of "Catherine" stillringing loud, she appeared in the WestEnd in the central role of Gemma inMargaret Kennedy's new sequel to '"TheConstant Nymph," "Escape Me Never"its initial stage presentation.

London critics let themselves go on thesubject. Result, a wonderful season.She has just completed an English filmversion of the play and earlier this yearwas established in the play in NewYork by C. B. Cochran. After that, sheis to return to England for a film ofGeorge Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan" (ofwhich more later).

Elisabeth Bergner made an earlierattempt to invade England. With char-acteristic thoroughness, she went intovoluntary obscurity for a period in orderto learn English.

Marriage and Films.Her test as an actress, she has been

known to say, was'(l) to play "SaintJoan" in its native tongue; (2) to pro-duce "Amphritrion," a French play deal-ing with the amours of a god who cameto earth disguised as a mortal. Shelearned English and struggled to obtaina good translation for her daring Frenchvehicle. But her English invasion wasrepelled in a war with the British censor,and so London never saw her in "St.Joan" either.

As to her cinema background, it tookthe combined persuasion of Emil Jan-nings, Conrad Veidt and Dr. Paul Czinnerto get her before' the camera for their"Nju." She hated herself as a filmactress, and it might have been her lastscreen adventure had not; Dr. Czinnermarried her soon afterward. As a goodwife of a man who dreamed and ex-pressed unusual things in the screen art,she gave herself perhaps indifferentlyat first, to such motion-picture experi-ments as "The Violinist of Florence,""Love," "Donna Juana," "Fraulein Else,,,"Ariane" and "The Dreaming Mouth."

"The Versatile Viennese."In time, however, her husband's feel-

ings for film expression infected her, andshe was as happy as any of her co-workers when the lastnamed two ofthese pictures won the grand prix forthe beet European productions of 1932and 1933, respectively.

"Tho Versatile Viennese," the Englishcritics have called her, reminding onethat she can be a perfect tomboy, andappealingly wistful in such a role; thatshe can be as worldly-wise and decadent

as she pleases, and yet essentiallyfeminine always. In fact, she is a massof contradictions.

Is a Bore, Anyway.A restless little creature, she ie inter-

ested only in doing a good job for thesake of getting that job out of the wayas quickly as possible.

In an interview with a London writer,she said: "There are times when I amdoing a play and I wish I could be in apicture. But no sooner am I doing apicture than I long to be back on thestage. Stage acting, because you areplaying the saino role eight times aweek, soon gets tiresome; and picture-making, because you are trying to workup emotion frora a 'cold' start, soon getstroublesome. So the only thing to do isto keep jumping back and forth in thehopo that the 'other one' will give yourelief."

A STUDIO SURPRISE.

DICKENS' LARGE FAMILY.

Parts in the Charles Dickens pic-ture, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood,"are to be given to accredited relativesof Dickens living in Southern Cali-fornia. Within 24 hours the telephoneof Associate-Producer Edmund Graingerstarted ringing and for a time it seemedas though the entire Dickens family hadmoved to Southern California. Studioofficials are checking up the creden-tials of the claimants. Those whoreally are related and wish it will beemployed in the picture. This picturewill be made from the most discus&edstory that Dickens ever wrote. "TheMystery of Edwin Drood" is the famousstory which the author had not com-pleted when he died. Ever since then,attempts have been made by writers andothers to complete the story and solvethe mystery. Close to 100 endings havebeen printed. The studio writerscreated their own climax, but it will hekept a guarded secret until the filmdrama is released.

A distinguished cast has been chosenClaude Rains, Douglass Montgomery,Heather Angel, Francis L. Sullivan, andValerie Hobson thus far have beennamed. Stuart Walker, who directed"Great Expectations," will direct.

GREAT BARRIER FILM.

BY ANNETTE KELLERMAN.

MERMAIDS—AND SHARKS.

Secrecy has surrounded the makingat Australia's "front door" of the firsttalking films to be acted under the sea.They have been made by Miss AnnetteKellerman, the famous Australian ex-Olympic swimmer andi film star, and willshortly be released in Britain and theEmpire.

The "sets" were real coral gardensbelow the great Australian Barrier Reef.Four Torres Strait natives with harpoonsswam around on continuous guard tokeep the numerous, sharks from thedainty mermaids and sea nymphs takingpart in the filme, which were of MissKellerman's submarine fairy etories.

"We believe we have a new idea intalkies and that we have found one ofthe few remaining unfilmed. corners ofthe world," Miss Kellerman, who hasbeen staying in Paris, told a corres-pondent. "We did not want anyoneto know what we were doing till we hadsucceeded—and that is why the secretof our two years away from civilisationhas not been revealed before.

Cloudy Spume From Coral."Our difficultiee were immense. Not

only were there sharks, but the coralinsects periodically give off a spumewhich prevents all picture taking. Weonce had to wait four months before wecould take a 'shot.'

"We lived in a boat and camped fromone coral isle to the next along a greatpa>t of the 1200 miles of the GreatBarrier Reef. I lived in a bathingcostume for a whole year. You've noidea how uncomfortable clothes can bewhen you have left them off for solong.

"My husband, Jim Sullivan, wascameraman and the joke is that althoughho took all these pictures at the bottomof the sea in a special apparatus, hecan't swim a stroke! My longest timeunder water was three minutes and 14seconds, which I believe is a worldrecord for a woman.

Off to Japan Shortly."The firet time our Australian native

boys saw me with a mermaid's fieh tail,they got quite excited, and one asked

me: 'Where can I find more ladies likeyou?' I jokingly told him we had lotsi'l European waters. 'I'm going rightthere as soon as I've saved up enough,,he said seriously.

"We made four pictures—eea fairyetorjes taken from my book, 'Fairy Talesof the Southern Seas.' They shouldappeal to children as fairy tales and togrown-ups as wonderful glimpses ofundersea life.

"One is about a little girl stolen by themermaids and tells of her 'education'under the sea.

"We never had any trouble from thesharks, although there were eo many,and I forgot all about them after a fewweeks. I expect when they saw ourfish tails they took us for a new kindof fish.

"Once we have arranged for the. show-ing of our pictures, we're off to Japanesewaters to film an undersea Japanesestory."

MUSIC HATH CHARMS PERHAPS ! The stately Garbo appearsnot in the least amused, while Herbert Marshall is tolerantly bored bythe antics of Forrester Harvey and his gramophone in this glimpse fromthe Somerset Maugham film "The Painted Veil," which is to open a

season in Auckland shortly.

THAT HORROR COMPLEX!

PUBLIC'S STRANGE TASTES.

It's still a mystery why people paytheir good money to be scared to death.These mystery and spine-chilling films,in which the hero is shot at and stabbedin the dark at least nine times, and inwhich the heroine faces that famous "fateworse than death" are alwaye popular,no matter how haphazardly they aredone. And now we hear just what kindof "heart-paralysers" the public like best.

Here is a list, as compiled by GuyEndore, scenario writer:—

1. A dead person not really being dead.2. The fear of going insane.3. The fear of dying under unnatural

circumstances—such as being buriedalive.

4. The fear of physical torture.5. The fear of being shut in—claustro-

phobia-C. Special fears, euch as the inability

to look from high places, horror of rep-tiles, and so on.

Some clay some simply horrid film willcombine all six terrors, and will conse-quently break all available box-officerecords.

MENACE OF PUBLICITY.As our expressive American friends

would say, the "Motion Picture Herald""said a mouthful" when it printed:—

"Speaking of publicity, one is to bereminded of the interesting case of MissMaud Adams, who contrived to be oneof the greatest stars of the Americanstage by the release of only one photo-graph, no interviews, and the expedientof being seen nowhere save on the stage.Mr. Charles Chaplin, in relation to thereach of his fame, was aided by less pub-licity pressure than any other player ofthe screen. It may also be observedthat 'America's Sweetheart' and her hus-band, the leaping romancer, have declinedin box-office appeal in the same ratio astheir domestic life has been aired by thepopular Press."

Jimmy Durante's personal stationerycarries a large profile of his "schnozzle"in lieu of a monogram.

EDGAR WALLACE AS HERO.

PROPOSED NEW BRITISH FILM.

A British studio is to make a filmbased on the life story of the late EdgarWallace, journalist, dramatist and mostcelebrated writer of mystery fiction ofmodern timee.

The film is to be built on "Edgar Wal-lace," by Edgar Wallace himself, inwhich the famous author tells the storyof his early struggles, his rise to aposition of importance in the newspaperworld, and his adventures as a play-wright, novelist and sportsman. Apartfrom its world-wide interest as the per-eonal chronicle of a universally popularfigure, the story forms what is said tobe the firet true picture of Fleet Street,its work and personalities, to be screened.

An unusual series of incidents liesbehind the purchase of this subject. Thesame etudio secured the film right 3 of"On the Spot," Wallace's famous play,during his lifetime. Subsequently, thesubject had to be erased from the pro-duction schedule for censorship reasons,the gangster theme coming in conflictwith certain bans.

Edgar Wallace ineisted on payingback to the studio the full amount ofpurchase money he had received, and,following his death in California, the

author's trustees and executors includedthis debt among their responsibilities.The money was paid back, but thestudio spent it on the purchase of cer-tain Edgar Wallace properties, whichinclude the life story in its entirety.

WEDDING BY REGISTRAR.—A scene from the English film adaptedfrom "Escape Me Never," Margaret Kennedy's sequel to "The ConstantNymph," in which Elisabeth Bergner achieved wonderful success on thestage both in London and New York. Miss Bergner is featured in the film,

together with Lyn Harding.

CLIVE BROOK IN JX>Nl>Oir.

"I'VE BEEN KT THE MOVIES."

"Of course, what I'd really like to dois a play in the West End," is one ofthe oldest lines handed out to scepticalreporters by returning English actorsand actresses greeting England's shoresafter varying degrees of success m tneAmerican theatres and cinemas.

Sometimes it actually happens; moreoften not. Douglas Fairbanks, jun., Con-stance Cummings, and Laura la Planteare three who have come, said anddone. .

When Olive Brook arrived in Londonrecently after ten unbroken years ofhighly remunerative exile in Californiahe made the old familiar announcement.But he meant it. He has been lookingfor a play ever since, and now he haefound one which really interests him. Itis a new play by Clifford Bax about theBorgias, that colourful Italian family ofthe fifteenth century.

Not So Famous.Clive Brook's last stage appearance

was with Iris Hoey at the Ambassadorsin 1023, in a play called "Clothes andthe Woman." Three years before that,in another Iris Hoey play, there mighthave been seen a young actress,Mildred Evelyn by name. When shebecame Mrs. Clive Brook one Saturdaymorning some 14 years ago, the eventrated six lines in the local papers.

Brook could earn about £10 a "week onthe stage. It went up £100 before heleft Britain for Hollywood's £600. Hewas not out of work for a single dayall the time he was there.

Clive Brook is extraordinarily modeet.He remarked to his interviewer thatfrom the commercial point of view hi3appearance in a play now "might havethe added meretricious attraction of hishaving 'been in the That, nodoubt, is a distinct possibility.

DANGEROUS DAYS.

SCOUTING IN WAIROA BUSH

A MEMORY OF THE FORESTRANGERS.

(By J.C.)

T'rampers and campers in the Wairoaand Hunua ranges, south-east of Auck-land, are freo to admire the variedbeauty of the remaining forests, torefresh their souls in the hallowed quietof the deeper valleys where the streamscome down from the hidden places. Thatsanctuary air in the bushy glens is notlikely to be broken by a sudden volleyfrom ambush. It was different in an

era still well within the memory of somestill living when those blue hills were askirmishing ground, and when the forestroof masked the single-file marchings ofForest Rangers and Maori war partiestrailing each other, always ready toengage in desperate combat in the twi-light shadows. Present-day care-freerovers in those parts, where so much ofthe original bush is now farm land,should find the interest of their week-end trips heightened by some knowledgeof the carbine-and-revolver and gun-and-tomahawk past.

From the unpublished portion of aMS. narrative of Waikato War experi-ences, left by Major Von Tempsky, Itake some notes of one of the earlyexpeditions of the Forest Eangers intothe Hunua and Wairoa forest in ISG3,when Lieutenant William Jackson(afterwards Major Jackson) and hisnewly-enlisted company of adventurerswere searching for the bands of Maoriswho had been raiding the Wairoa andthe frontier farm*. Ensign Hay (sonof a pioneer Papakura farmer) was withJackson; Von Tempsky had not thenjoined, but marched as a volunteer atJackson's invitation.

The "Travellers' Rest."At that critical time on the frontier,

when any settlers who remained on theirbush sections did so at the risk of theirlives, there was a halfway house, a farm-house and roadside inn combined, be-tween Papakura and the South Wairoasettlement redoubt (now Clevedon).This solitary house on the hush edgewas called the "Travellers' Rest." VonTempsky had freqitently called there onhis rides to the Wairoa from Papakuracamp. There is an admirable picture ofthe boss of the "Travellers' Rest" in thesoldier-narrator's journal.,

"When all other settlers long beforethis," -wrote Von Tempsky, "had lefttheir homes in. that neighbourhood, oldSmith had made his house bullet-proofand loop-holed it, and with a. garrisonof three sons, three blooming daughters,one man-servant, and last, not least,Mrs. Smith, had defied the Maori marau-ders to drive him from his comfortableprofession. ' Smith had been in Cali-fornia, and somehow or other that schoolalways seems to have developed to thefullest extent a sturdy self-reliance inall men who have breathed its air.Besides, he had seen the rough side ofthe world in more places than one, andwith a equare-built seabred figure anda bushy flow of beard, seemed quite theman to make a good jfight for his.right.After the establishment of the ForestRangers Corps, Lieut. Jackson hadchosen Smith's place ae. his headquar-ters on account of its contiguity to theHunua, and its extensive outhouseaccommodation for his men. Smith wascertainly not loath to receive this jollylot under his roof. He now reaped thebenefit of his self-reliance in the shapeof protection and profit."

A Long Bash March.Leaving this headquarters early one

morning for a three days' scout into thebush towards the supposed retreat ofthe Maoris, the long line of the blue-shirted Rangers wound up a narrowtrail into the northern part of theITunua forest. They -were well armedwith carbines (Terry and Calisher, themost modern weapon then procurable)and revolvers, to which Von Tempskyand one or two others added bowie-knives, a handy tool in the bush. Jack-son's intention was to penetrate by wayof what is now Ararimu towards therear of Paparata, where some tribeswere strongly entrenched, according toreport. (Von Tempsky had a thrillingadventure there some weeks later.) Aftor'eaving Buckland's clearing, a desertedfarm in the heart of the bush, ' theRangers found themselves in a, track-less tall forest, the great trees holdingup a dense ceiling of branch and foliage,A picture of the. roadless? bush wildsshows us the Ararimu region as' theRangers found it.

"It began to rain heavily; the supple-jacks in the undergrowth became moreand more luxuriant, and the ravines andgullies more frequent and abrupt, sothat the heavily laden men, ensnaredand opposed at every step, made butlittle progress. The light of day beganto fade from the uncertain ground; hereand there it etill hovered upon sometree-tops, till all around us became adim chaos of branches, lianas, foliageand darkness. A gleam and a murmurof water down a dark gully announcedthe welcome presence of a drink. Weclambered .down and encamped on theother side of a little stream, that is tosay, each chose his tree, unrolled hisblankets and rolled himself into them.The sentries were stationed, and reclin-ing underneath a bushy rata, inthe comfortable lair of an oldboar, pipes alight, wo felt exceed-ingly comfortable in the first con-sciousness of sweet repose stealing oversomewhat wearied limbs. Jacksonannounced to me that this creek wascalled the Mangawheau, according to hisguides. I shrugged my ehoulderslnwardy at his credulity (Von Tempskyhiid little faith in bush guides) and went(iff into a delicious sleep, in spite ofsome rain and no lire."

Next day at dawn the rangers fellin again for a hard and wet bush tramp.They found some old Maori clearings, inrich volcanic soil of a chocolate colour.They climbed higher into the ranges.Dark, deep gorges, of the wildest char-acter, with veils of trailing mist, openedUp at their feet. No Maoris yet; nnteven an old footprint. About four inthe afternoon Jackson halted for therest of the clay, and his drenchedrangers set to and built nikau and fern-tree, shelters for the night.

At the Camp Fires.Aftor a war council between the ofTi-

em-s it was decided that iires might belit us soon us darkness fell in fully;r.icv were to bo extinguished two hoursbefore daylight |to prevent the smokefrom being soon.

Von Tempsky was rather amused tonotice that Jackson and Hay wereopenly astonished that their companionstood the hard marching so well. Theyknew him, so far, as an amateur news-paper correspondent, with a foreignmilitary training. But tough VonTempsky had roughed it during eighteenyears giierilla fighting in America, goldseeking, and a variety of hard andperilous adventuring. They were todiscover yet that ho could outmarchthem and teach them soldiering andbushcraft; they were just beginningsuch experiences. The tough soldier offortune smiled; indeed he was rejoicedto be once more on this bush scoutingtrail. "So," he narrated, "I stretchedout my feet toward the camp-fire, andluxuriously contemplated, athwart awell-lit pipe, the Salvator Rosa scenebefore me, and the prospect of drysocks in the morning. Our huts, or sheds,kept out the rain well; the nikau palmaffords the readiest and best materialin Xew Zealand bush for roofs. . . .

Thus all of us were comfortable thatnight, except the sentries during theirhours on watch—but eight shillings aday and the honour of being a Forestl\aii£rer must b; paid for in some way."

PETS' GRAVEYARD.

MEMORY OF CATS AND DOGS

TOMBSTONE EPITAPHS.

Accidents on the London-Hastingsroad are rapidly filling a graveyard fordogs and cats which has been estab-lished by a garage proprietor at Ton-bridge.

'

Each traffic victim has itsminiature tombstone; and the garageman, with humorous or sentimentalbrush, writes an appropriate epitaph.

Humour for cats and sentiment fordoss is the accepted rule. A littleclump of wallflowers keep green theplot where '"my devoted dog' , lies,"never forgotten."

But there is no one to mourn or strewflowers for '•Ginger, the old barn tom-cat." Ho "lost all his nine lives whena five-ton lorry ran over him"; andthere is a note "almost of good riddancein the superscription: '"No more shallhis voice be heard in the stilly night."

There is a hint of ribaldry, too, inthe epitaph for "Old Benzol, our cat."Motor-minded, as his name suggests,puss "tried to join a charabanc partyand missed the step."

Where 400 Dogs Lie.It was a. road accident long before

the days of charabancs which led to thefounding of London's famous Dogs'Cemetery In Kensington Gardens. TheDuchess* of Cambridge, riding in hervictoria, ran over her own dog, whichwas running beside the carriage. Sheasked that "the body should be buriedin the little garden of the keeper'slodge; and thus was started the grave-yard which is now the resting placeof more than 400 dogs and two or threecats.

The cemetery is long since full. Itis 30 years since a new grave was dug,and about 20 years since last a newcoffin was placed in a "family grave."But the. "not forgotten" motto en-graved on so many of the headstones isnot pious mockery in every case.Freshly plucked evergreens and hollyare tobe seen on several of the graves.

Tito humour of« the Tollbridge tomb-stones has no place here. Victoria sen-timent is supreme. "Ginger" and"Benzol" died in a less reverent agethan "Darling Dolly, by sunbeam, myconsolation, my joy," who went to herreward in 1898.

"A Pal Asleep."Of the same generation was "My

Little Sheila, fond and faithful dog ofM. E."; and "Our well-loved littledoggie," "Little, loving Duke," and"Dear old Gran." But there is thebeginning of modernity in the epitaphto Cora:

C "Here lies a pal asleep." Morepride than regret blazons the memoryof Tina—"champion of champions."

Few sorrowing mistresses and masterscared to put their names to these effu-sions of regret.

THE BOY BISHOP.

In olden times the Christmas festi-vities included the Feast of the BoyBishop; it was observed in cathedrals.collegiate churches and (in England, atany rate) in many parish churches. Theceremonies varied in different places.Writing generally, they were somethinglike this: On De"cembe"r G. the Feast ofSt. Nicholas (the children's saint, whomwe know as Santa Clans), the choirboyschose one of their number as bishop.Other boys were chosen as his officers,and at Vespers on St. John's Day theycame into office., The Boy Bishop tookthe place of the real bishop, and for thenext 24 hours, until Vespers on Inno-cents' Day or "Childermas." he per-formed ail the bishop's "functions inchurch, except saying Mass, while hiscompanions impersonated the other dig-nitaries. He was vested in a little setof pontificals, mitre, cope and crozier,and, attended by his youthful com-panions, he processed round the church.A sermon was written for him to preachand the celebrations included a feast tothe boys, often provided by the realbishop, and a collection of money forthem.

THE VOICE OF STARS.

When we read of Shakespeare saying"There's not the smallest orb which thou

heholdest,But in his motion like an angel sings."

we dismissed the "sing" as pure poeticalfancy. But it is now possible to heara star do its bit of singing in the musicof the spheres. . It has long been anaxiom of science that there is no move-ment without sound, however remotethat sound may be from our restrictedrange of sound vibrations. Two doc-tors of science in Czecho-Slovakiafocused on the heavenly bodies theiroptical telescope, into which had beeninserted the photo-cell. The electriccurrent, transformed into sound waves,was amplified and made into a record.Thus we have available the special tonesof the moon, whose light takes one anda third seconds to reach us, and thebri'.'ht star Vega, whose beams left her2o■ years previously, or. sny, Lambda,wlicVe tones stiirtoil their long journeythrough spneo over KID years ago. whenHeury AMI I. was singing his love ditties.

SUCCESSFUL POTTING.

HOW TO SECURE

The inscription "Successful Potting-,

is justified by the fact that incorrectpotting rarely leads to anything butfailure. Many amateurs seem to ima-gine that the pot, the soil, and the plantare the only things required. To suchit will probably come as a revelation tobe informed that the pot must be per-

fectly clean and dry, the soil of a com-position suited to* the plant and theplant itself set therein in a particularmanner. There ought always to besufficient space left between the rim ofthe pot and the surface of the soil, toadmit of proper watering, but when, onthe other hand, there is an insufficiencyof soil and too much watering s]>ace,the plant so potted stands an excellentchance, sooner or later of becoming"drowned." All pots should be cleanand dry; next, there must be properdrainage material, this being composed

of pieces of broken pots or scoria placedover the drainage hole. Larger potsrequire more of this than small ones;for the smallest one piece would be sufli-cient. Take eare to place these hollowside downwards, with one large piececompletely covering the drainage hole.A little moss or rough material shouldnext be placed over the crocks, to keepthe soil from being washed down andblocking the drainage, which should becovered in its turn by some of theroughest or lumpy parts of the soil,using an inch or so of this before plac-ing the plant in position. If there is

no soil upon the roots of the plant,these should be spread out as far aspossible and have the soil workedamongst them as it is filled in, finallypressing all firm with the fingers. Whenfinished5 off, the pot should "be nearlybut not quite full of soil, the plant wellin the centre of the pot, with the soilgently sloping from the plant stem tothe pot rim. A hollow round the stemor collar of the plant must always beavoided. In the case of repotting aplant, where it is transferred from onepot to another a size or so larger, theplant is iirst turned out of its originalpot and then set in the centre of the

new pot at such a depth that the un-disturbed ball of roots is only slightlycovered with new soil. The new soilmust be rammed in firmly with theblunt !end of a wooden label round theold bahl. Hard wooded plants requirefirmest potting; plants that like mostwater should have most drainagematerial; heavy garden loam mustnever be made too firm; surfacing thesoil with a sprinkling of silver sandhelps to prevent caking.

TO SECURE ORCHIDS IN THEIRPOTS.

This refers chiefly to freshly importedtall and awkward" varieties of dcndro-biums, laelias, cattleyas. Place thecrocks, clean and fairly large pieces,edgewise, take a stick, sharpen it flat,and fit it between the crocks. Add somesmaller crocks, then place the plant,with the lead in the centre of the pot,and tie it to the stick. When usingthe rotting compost start at the baseand work to the rim of the pot. Somegrowers prefer to leave this operationtill it i« seen that the plants are on themove, and pushing out roots from therecently-made bulb, simply wateringthrough the pots. Ono of the easiestvarieties to grow is enttieya labiatniiutuninnlis. Imported plants procuredin spring will l>f iilfuobt sure to flowerin autumn.

TRANSPLANTING PASSIONVINES.

\ Thames correspondent write*:--!noticed vou had an inquiry re trans-planting passion fruit. A method whichI have had great success with and whichmay be of some use to your readers is

a* follows:—Well water the plant to be moved,

then remove top and bottom of a one-pound jam tin and place over the plant.Frees the tin well into the earth, thengently lift the tin, which will bringthe plant and soil with it without dis-turbing the root*. Then plant tin andall in new posiion. The roots will growri"ht through the tin. Small plantsof five or six leaves move the best, but

I have moved plants with vines threeand four feet long.

ONIONS.

Crops of onions are now sufficientlyripened for harvesting. Where only alimited number is .mown n good methodof Btoring is to suspend wire netting onwhich the bulbs can be placed. Thebulbs should be thoroughly dried midcleared of nil looee skin and old roots.If the wire netting is suspended acrossa shed close to the roof where it is dryand airy, the bulbs will remain dormantfor a lonper period than when laid onbenches or in -heaps.

PENTSTEMONS

These are hardy perennials, but givebest results when treated as annuals, oldplants becoming very ragged. Thepresent day strains, with large gloxinia-like flowers varying from pure white,pink, rose, to scarlets and rich crimson,borne on spiken about thirty inches high,are fine plants for bedding purposes.They can be propagated by seed or cut-tings, and where there are good sortsgrowing, cuttings are the best method.The cuttings made from youngunflowered side growths, about fourinches long, root quite easily if plantedin sandy soil and shaded and watered tillrooted." The present is a good time totake cuttings, and those will root and beready for planting out in autumn. Incold "districts it is best to defer plantingtill spring. Seed give good results, andthe best time to sow is in autumn. Theseed is small and should be sown insandy soil in pots or boxes. As soon alarge enough to handle the seedlingsshould be pricked out into boxes, andlater on into beds of prepared soil. Itis preferable to transplant into framesif possible, not so much to protect fromcold as to protect from heavy rains.They require the ground well manured.»s they arc gross feeders. They arcp.I-o good drv weather subjects, especiallyif the plants are mulched in earlysummer.

DAHLIAS.

AND LIQUID MANURE,

In regard to liquid manure go veryslowly. Watering, unless in a poorsoil, will give the roots all the neces-sary nourishment. Liquid manureniven to strong growers that currycoarse petalled flowers only accentu-ates the faults, and often spoils theblooms altogether; far rather havesmaller flowers that are shapely andpleasiii" than grow those which arecoarse and ugly. You can give liquidmanure to advantage in light volcanicor sandy soil that leaches out quickly.Cow manure and soot provide the idealliquid; make it weak rather thanstrong, and give no oftener than oncea week. Where the growths arestraight and strong, and the land richloam, very little more than water shouldhe necessary. A safe dahlia manurecan be made by using 51b of fresh cowmanure, loz of sulphate of ammonia and•20 gallons of water. U*c the liquidtlire'e days after "brewing." The plantsproducing specimen flowers can takeabout two or four gallons a week. Besure that your plants require stimulat-ing before giving the above. It isquite an easy matter to overfeed.

GROWING BUUBS IN WATER,

The system of growing hyacinths inwater in glass vases, the tazetta or poly-anthus narcissi can also bo grown inthis way, is not so often practised asformerly. It lias no advantages per-haps for those who have gardens andgreenhouses, but for those who live m

town and whose garden is confined to aconcreted yard it is an interestingmethod of' cultivation. Although theorthodox shaped glasses are generallyused they are not essentially necessary,even flat vases can be used, but in thiscase there should be a layer of cleanpebbles in the bottom sufficient to keepthe base of the bulb just above thewater level. A few charcoal hut 3should be placed in the bottom also.The water must be changed at lea.itonce a week, and when changing do notpull out the bulbs; pour off most of thewater and replace by some slightly tepidbut not boiled water. The watershould be just as warm as that taken

away. If using shallow vases caremust be taken that the water does notdry up, but must be kept at a constantlevel and daily attention is accessary.Once a week pour oil' most of the waterand replace by fresh. 1( grown indoors,on verandahs or window sills they mustbe grown naturally ami to ensure evendevelopment the puts or vases should betwisted round a little every day.

CHESHUNT COMPOUND

Cheshunt compound is a fungicidewhich is chiefly recommended for useunder glass on tomatoes and cucumbers.It consists of two parts (by weight) ofcopper sulphate and 11 parts ammo-nium carbonate, which must be fresh.Reduce the ammonium carbonate to afine powder by crushing, and then thor-oughly mix with the copper sulphate,and store for 24 hours in a tightly-corked glass or stone jar before using.Prepare the solution by dissolving lozof the mixture in a little hot water andadding cold water to make two gallons.Only just the amount required for im-mediate use should be prepared, andvessels of iron, tin or zinc should notbe used, as it not only corrodes these,but the mixture loses its strength.

•WEEDS

Weeds are difficult to control at anytime, but particularly duringautumn. Even if left on the groundafter being cut they remain sufficientlyalive to develop and scatter their seeds.For this reason all weeds should be dugin. burnt, or placed in a heap with otherrefuse where it will ferment sufficientlyto destroy the germinating power ofthe seeds. A sprinkling of superphos-phate nnd sulphate of ammonia betweenthe layers of weeds will hasten decom-position and greatly increase the maim-rial value of the compos-t.

LIQUID MANURINGPlants and crops in the flower ail'l

vegetable garden can be kept in excel-lent condition even under drought condi-tions by systematic liquid manuring.Tlie be<?t, most economical, cleanly andeasily handled ingredient for makingliquid manure is Concentrated Tankage.Tt k an organic nitrogenous fertiliser,being the "soup" resulting from the pro-cessing and cooking of animal offal atour freezing works, solidified into a finepowder by the process of evaporation. 1It is exceptionally rich in nitrogen andiron, and two cunc.es dissolved in a gal-lon of water (it will dissolve more'quickly if hot water is used) makes theideal liquid manure. Packed in attrac-tive and useful little buckets containing711) of the Tankage, it will keep indefi-nitely, and i.< procurable from seedsmen,merehnnte nnd stores.

BULBS IN GLASSES,

BULBS IN MOSS FIBRE.

A SUCCESSFUL METHOD

The success which has been achievedby growing bulbs in moss fibre and•/round shell now offered for sale underthe name of bulb fibre, proves that thisb one of the most charming and effectivemethods of growing bulbs. Freesiae,narcissi, tulips, hyacinths, lihume, iris,

lily of the valley and other kinds alldo" well under this treatment. It is

particularly suitable for those who donot possess a large garden or the con-venience of a greenhouse or frame, and13 also suitable to town dwellers whomay have a difficulty in obtaining asupply of good soil. "The advantage ofthe system is that the vases can beplaced anywhere about the house, inthe drawing or dining room, without

fear of any mess from water or soilcoming through the base of the pots, asthe receptacles used are china or non-porous vases without drainage. Themoss fibre is perfectly odourless andclean to handle, and can be purchasedready mixed for use or mixed in a largebowl on a table and leaves no dirt orstain. Failures sometimes occur, butthese can usually be traced to the lumpsof fibre not being properly broken upor the moss not being uniformlymoistened before being put in the vaees.A frequent cause of failure is because ahandful of charcoal nuts is not placedin the bottom of the vase. Bear in mindthat growing bulbs in fibre does not doaway with attention. Bulbs and flowersof all kinds to be a success must haveconstant care, and if this is not forth-coming it is of no use complaining andsaying the bulbs or material are atfault." When growing bulbs in vaseswithout drainage it is very necessary tofirst rub the dry moss fibre until it iefree from lumps, then well mix theshell with it and add water a little ata time, until the fibre i& uniformly moistbut not wet enough for water to dropout when squeezed in the hand. Eachhalf bushel of dry fibre will take upabout four quarts of water and increasein bulk by nearly one-third. Whenpotting put a few pieces of charcoal inthe bottom of the vase to absorbimpurities and to keep -the mixturesweet, then put in from one to threeinches of the compost according to thedepth of the vase, place the narcissi,hyacinths or whatever bulb is beingpotted, gently on the fibre and then fillup the vase to within an inch of therim. When potted the top of the bulbshould be about an inch below thesurface, and, although it is desirable tosee that the compost is placed wellround the bulbs, it is not necessary ordesirable to press it at all tightly,otherwise the roots do not work freelyin the fibre, but the bulbe have atendency to push themselves upwards,as is often the case with those that arepressed too firmly on the fibre. Whenpotted they require,little attention forthe first two or three weeks, but afterthat great care should be taken to keepthe compost 'fairly moist, but on noaccount must- be it kept eodden or toowet. *On the other hand if allowedto become dry, even if only for a fewhours, tho probability is the bulbs willgo blind and the flower will dry upbefore it appears. This is particularlythe case with tulips. The vases shouldbe examined at least once a week, anda little water given if necessary, thisnecessity will soon be indicated, for assoon as all surplus water is absorbedthe fibre becomes dry at the top andbrown in colour. When watering giveenough water to moisten the whole ofthe fibre and if there is any suspicionof too much water in the vase turn iton its side and allow the surplus todrain out and no more water will bewanted till the top looks a little dryagain. When the bulbs have beenpotted the vases or jure should be keptin an airy collar or room, and if theyhave been potted an inch or so belowtho surface no other covering is needed.When the bulbs have grown about aninch out of the fibre they should bebrought into more light and given asmuch air as possible, for if air is notgiven the foliage becomes unnaturallyweak and long and falls over, givingtho plants a bedraggled appearance.PROPAGATING CHOICE SWEET

with a fair admixture of lime rubble and no leaf mould are thechief soil requirements of the carnation.

Plantings of Iceland Poppies and Wallflowers can be made.Primroses and Polyanthus are now making growth. The plants can

be lifted and divided.Violets that have suffered with thrips and red spider can be cleaned

and manured. A planting now will flower in spring.Dahlias must have attention to staking, tying, and disbudding.Chrysanthemums are now growing fast, and the buds are developing

quickly. Disbudding, staking, and tying must be attended to.Liquid manure for Chrysanthemums and Dahlias may be necessary

in some cases, but do not over-feed.Spraying for caterpillars is still necessary. It has been one long,

glorious season for caterpillars of all kinds.

THE GREENHOUSE.With moister conditions, the damping of floor and benches must not

be overdone.Make a sowing of Mignonette in pots for winter.Ventilation must be ample. Do not attempt to force the plants.

Remember that to carry plants through the winter a hardening

of the tissues is necessary.Primulas, Cyclamen, Cinerarias, and Schizanthus must all be potted

as necessary.

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.Clean up any spare ground. Do not allow spent crops to remain and

breed pests.,

If land is not required for a time, dig it over and sow down in Oats orother cover crop.

Make further sowings of Cabbage. Plantings of Cauliflowers canalso be made.

tAny crops of Cabbage, etc., that have started making fresh growth

should be sprayed against the cabbage moth.Lettuce, Radish, and Endive can be sown for winter use.Runner Beans are making a fresh start. Cut away some of the old

vine and let the young growths get away.Thin out seedling crop*. Remember that although many crops

transplant readily, those left without transplanting; will maturemore quickly.

Make a sowing of Dwarf Peas.Prepare ground and sow Onions for transplanting in spring.A planting of Potatoes in a warm, well-drained soil should give a crop

before winter. j

THE FRUIT GARDEN.Crops that are ripening should be gathered. For a fruit to keep, it

must be fully matured.Summer prune stone fruits after the crop is gathered.Prepare ground for planting new trees.Any trees that have failed to come up to expectations should be

removed and replaced by better sorts.Collect and burn or bury any fallen fruits that show signs of disease.

To grow clean fruit you must have a clean orchard.

IN THE PACIFIC.

NAVAL "WAR DANCES."AMERICAN AND JAPANESE

THIS YEAR'S MANOEUVRES

The naval policies of the great Powersin the Pacific are attracting increasedworld attention. In this article a navalcorrespondent in the Melbourne "Herald"directs attention to the importance ofthe great naval bases in the Pacific, andthe significance of the great navalmanoeuvres to be held there this year.

During the coming summer months,the three great naval Powers, America,Britain and Japan, will be exercisingthose vast instruments of their nationalpolicy known as navies. The sovereignheads of each of these three great States—King George, the Emperor Hirohito,and President Roosevelt—will eachlead, with appropriate ceremonial, thc-irfleets to sea, and afterwards these greatequadrons will embark upon theirexercises and manoeuvres, designed to fitthem for the stern test of war.

The American manoeuvres will beginen May 3, and continue until June 10;the. combined British fleets -vill assembleat Spithead for the King's JubileeReview, on July 16, after which theywill proceed to sea for their exercises,and, later in the same month, theEmperor- of Japan will lead out hissquadrons in battle array for their warpractices.

The suggestion put forward so oftenof late years, that the battleground ofthe war fleets of the future will bo"somewhere in the Pacific" explains thecolossal assembly of ships, forming thecombined American fleets, that will con-duct a sort of preliminary wax" danceon the broad floor of the Pacific in Mayand June. Here, over a playground offive million square miles in the NorthPacific Ocean, a Grand Armada of 177ships carrying a total personnel of60,000 skilled seamen, will engage ina minic sea campaign, with the fleetdivided into two sections—one repre-senting a potential enemy, with itsbase in an imaginary and unspecifiedhostile territory.

Pearl Harbour.The home fleet will be based on

Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, that spearheadof American naval might in the Pacific,which is rapidly being transformed intoa first-class base, capable of sustaininga fleet on a wartime footing, with amplefacilities for repairs, stores and fuel.

Pearl Harbour is the frontier post ofAmerican, naval power in the Pacific, of"which it occupies the geographicalcentre. Of recent years .this great bas-tion has been reinforced and secondedby a. second base, far to the northward.Here, 2000 miles due north, lies thenew air base in the Aleutian chain ofislands known as Dutch Harbour.

Pearl Harbour and Dutch Harbourare the naval and air bases of theUnited States—tho purpose of which isto enable America to dominate the Paci-fic. For, the distances are so great inthat vast expanse of ocean that every

problem of strategy is fundamentally aquestion of base facilities. In time of•war individual cruisers, indeed, maycruise for months at a stretch, replen-ishing their bunkers as opportunityoffers; but an organised fleet, attendedby a host of smaller craft, accompaniedby aircraft carriers and with its propercomplement of auxiliary units, is not somobile, nor so easily maintained at seaover a long period.

Jellicoe's first action after Jutland•was to return to port to refuel, and,twenty years later, fuel still dominatesthe movements of the world's fleets,though the presence of fleet tankers,enabling fuelling at sea, has consider-ably modified this limitation.

Hence the vital importance of thePacific bases in the drama that is beingplayed there.

Japan's Strong Defences.While the United States is thus con-

fronted with, a problem of vast dis-tances, in attempting to meet and fighta potential enemy, Japan, securely en-trenched behind her almost impregnablelines occupies an advantageous defen-sive position. Her outposts are pushedfar out into the Pacific, including thePelews, the Carolines and the Marshalls,these latter only 1700 miles from PearlHarbour; and aircraft and submarines,judiciously operating from these points,•would be a serious menace to a hostileforce coming from, the East.

Behind this line of outer defencesan-ain are the great Japanese navalbases at Kure and Yokosuka. Ihoearthquake 12 years ago almost de-etroyed the dockyard at Yokosuka,which was the Portsmouth of Japan,but it has since been reconstructed.

Yokosuka—Pearl Harbour—Singa-pore; these then are the three greatnaval bases which dominate the PacificOcean to-day. They form a triangle ofwhich Yokosuka is the apex, a triangleof vast extent and perhaps the greatbattleground of tho/uture.

The Air Bases.Subsidiary to these main bases are

the secondary bases—also separated bygreat distances and reflecting the grow-ing importance of aircraft, such as

reconnaissance and bombingmachines, a new and menacing arm

which is said to be causing the Japaneseauthorities some anxiety.

For these subsidiary air bases arelocated far closer to the hitherto impreg-nable iron ring enclosing the JapaneseEmpire than are the naval bases fromwhich slow moving and distance-limitedbattleships might advance. On the west.for instance," commanding the bea or ,Japan, and within only five hours rangeof her cities and bases, is Vladivostokwhere, if report be true, the SovietGovernment is accumulating great num-bers of long-range bombing aircraft.And on the cast, much further away,are the new advanced air bases or the.'United States located in the lengthen-in" chain of the Aleutians winch, withaircraft stationed conveniently in 'tnevan, point like a dagger at the heart otJapan.

The use of these aircraft and theirbases involves, however, complexstrategical problems of the future t.iaocan only be solved by exercises carriedout on a war footing. They involvenumerous factors of distance, navigation.fo<r and the reliability of aircraft mgeneral, and their ability with moderndevices to find their carriers at sea.Furthermore, the actual results of long-

range- bombing may have been over-rated.

Japanese ManoeuvresWhen the American battle and air

fleets, having concluded their exercisesdesigned to test some of these problemsTinder war conditions, return to theirbases, the floor will be tflkew by fcicother actor in the scene, the Japanesefleet. It, too, will operate in thesewaters, seeking to solve similar problems,

but whereas those of the AmericanAaval staff seem, in broad outline, tobo those of an attacking force, theJapanese, problem is rather one ofdefence—to hold what it has, and toprevent any passible war, as an instru-ment of national policy, interfering seri-ously -with that policy.

The future course of Japanese foreignpolicy along the broad front of theWestern Pacific may run counter to thatof the United States, and to preventfuture Japanese expansion, America mayiind it necessary to take action.

What form that action might be ranonly bo surmised from the present policyof the United States. She has announcedto all the world that she has interestsin the Far East, which she is determinedto protect; that she- regards the NinePower Treaty as sacred, and' that* she-cannot agree to naval equality withJapan, since her responsibilities and com-mitments far exceed those of the islandempire. This latter point is one whichmust be settled sooner or later, since thepresent agreement expires next year.

In tho meantime, each of these two•great Powers ie engaged in the prelimi-naries to a demonstration of strengthin the very arena in which their interestsare supposed to clash.

Britain's Problems.And far off, at the other end of the

world, the Home and Atlantic Fleets ofBritain will simultaneously be engagedin a very different theatre, testing thestrength and condition of Britain's oncegreat fleet.

The symbol of British interests in thePacific is Singapore; where the big baseis still under construction; the proof ofBritish strength is in her battleships,but her battle squadrons are separatedfrom their Pacific base by a greater dis-tance and by a more difficult passageeven than that which separatee the twomighty protagonists of the Pacific them-selves, the United States and Japan.Britain also has extraordinarily difficultproblems to solve in this ocean uponwhich so many people in the world areto-day concentrating- their uneasy gaze.

FASTER LINERS.

FOR FAR EAST TRADE,

GERMAN BID WITH NEW SHirS.

The building of faster P. and 0.liners for the service from Genoa to theFar East is believed to be only a ques-tion of time (says a London shippingcorrespondent).

It remains to be seen whether, in theinterval, the company will decide tospeed up its present service to meetimpending competition from fast Ger-man liners on this route. It could doso by transferring to tho Far Easternservice the Strathaird and Strathnaver,two ships of 22,500 tons, which, cansteam at 20} knots.

Unless they do this, the new Ham-burg-Amerika liners Scharlhorst andGneisenau, of 18,000 tons and 21 knots'sped, which are to inaugurate an ex-press passenger and freight service tothe Far East next May, will probablybe, by a considerable margin, the fast-est ships under any flag operating onthat route. They are scheduled tocover the distance from Genoa to Shang-hai in 23 days.

The largest and fastest British shipat present in the China service is thel>. and O. liner Ranchi, of 1(1,700 tonsand IS knots. Normally she takes 2!)days from Marseilles to Shanghai, butcould, no doubt, reduce this timo ifnecessary. After her come the otherP. and O. steamers of the "K" class,which are slower.

The Strathaird and Strathnaver havehitherto been employed on the Austra-lian run, and also for cruising, but iftransferred to the China service theyshould be able to hold their own againstthe new German ships.

West Indian Complaint.Meanwhile, West Indian interests arc

complaining bitterly of their neglect byBritish shipping lines. A report com-piled by lI.M. Trade Commissioners inJamaica draws attention to "the suc-cessful attempts of foreign steamshipcompanies to secure a larger share ofpasenger traffic to and from Trinidadand Central America."

Two new and luxurious German motorships, with accommodation for some400 passengers in three classes werebrought into this service in 1933-34.

BEATING THE LAWYER.

There is a story of an eminent lawyerreceiving a severe reprimand from awitness whom he was trying to brow-beat. It was an important issue, «ndin order to save his cause from defeatit was necessary that Mr. A. shouldimpeach the witness. He endeavouredto do it on the ground of age, and thefollowing dialogue ensued:—

"How old are you?""Seventy-two years.""Your memory, of course, is not so

brilliant and vivid as it was twentyyears ago, is it?"

"I do not know but it is.""State some circumstances which

occurred, say, twelve years ago, and weshall be able fo see how well you canremember."

"I appeal to your Honor if 1 am tobe interrogated "in this manner. It isinsolent!" ,

"You had better answer the question."Yes, sir; state it.""Well, sir, if you compel me to do it

TOMBS OF EGYPT.

SECRETS REVEALED

ROYAL ROADWAY UNCOVERED

ENDED NEAR THE SPHINX.

Age-old secrets of tho Sphinx andthe tomb of a new Egyptian Queen—Rakhetra, who lived about 30GG B.C.—have been revealed at the Gizeh pyra-mids.

Robbers had, however, penetrated thequeen's tomb, xind deprived it of mostof it| treasure. All that was left wasthe limestone sacrophagus, the skull andbones of the queen, the skeleton of abull, and some alabaster vases.

Great interest has been aroused bythe discovery of a royal causeway, abouthalf a mile" in length, leading fromKophren's pyramid down to its templeadjacent to 'the Sphinx (says the Lon-don "Daily Telegraph"),. This con-sists of four parallel streets with a totalwidth of 90 feet.

There is a trench on either side toseparate the causeway—which waspaved—from the necropolis. Indica-tions are everywhere evident that itwas covered, aiid that the two masonryruins, long known to the west of Keph-ren's pyramid temple, are the remainsof tho masonry wall which ran alongeither side of the central causeway.

The remains of two brick walls run-ning at right angles to the causeway onthe north side, and parallel to oneanother, have also been exposed. Thesewere obviously to protect the. Sphinxfrom drifting sand, just as has beendone at a lower level to-day.

When Sand Was Cleared.From the fact that his cartouche

(royal insignia) has been found on someof these mud brick3, it is clear thatthese walls were the work of ThotmesIV. His stela (an inscribed slab),standing between the front paws of theSphinx, records that, in obedience to tbc-injunctions in a dream of tho god Har-markis—whoso image the Sphinx was atthat time believed to be —he cleared theSphinx from the sand which, had sub-merged it.

From the clearance of tho severalthousand tons of sand which coveredthis area has emerged an interestingfact with regard to the Sphinx. Thisis that the northern trench of the cause-way ends in the hollow in which theSphinx stands.

Since, as mentioned, the trenches werefor the purpose of separating the necro-polis from the causeway, and carriedaway water, it is obvious that theSphinx had not been carved out of therock at that spot at the time whenthe trenches were made.

In other words, hero is evidence thatthe Sphinx does not date beyond thereign of Kephren—namely, about 3360B.C.—and that the causeway andtrenches were built in conjunction withhis pyramid. . ,

The tomb of the new queen, who hasbeen identified as Rekhctra, bears thetitle: "She who kocs Horns and Set."In other words: "She who lias freeaccess to the king."

Her other titles are given as "king'sdaughter," the "great beloved and king'swife"." This indicates that she was adaughter of Kcphren, and most probablyone of the wives of her brother Mycer-inus (brother-sister marriages in earlyEgyptian times, particular in the royalfamily, were quite common).

The work has also laid bare the burialsites of many of the court officials ofthe fourth dynasty—3733 B.C.—particu-larly of Kephren, who reigned 50 years.They include the tombs of the men whoto-day would be the Secretary of Statefor War, the Commander-in-Chief of theArmy, a Lord of the Admiralty.

Among these is a family vault whichwas used from the time of Kephren tothat of Erneferkara, the third king ofthe fifth dynasty—S.lGG B.C.

Here lies the tomb of Kaomnephei'et,"the queen's spiritual adviser." Onthe two jambs of the door are Keph-ren's cartouches, with the name of hisdaughter Kekhetra. whose-tomb has justbeen identified. She is shown smellir.ga lotus flower, and in front of herKacmnepheret is presenting incense.

Tho false door of Kaemnepheret'stomb is almost unique in that it liasnone of the usual formulae of prayersto the king and the gods, but only alist of offerings.

Next is the tomb of Niarekheret, arelative of Kaemnepheret. Ho servedunder Kephren and Mycerimis and hietitles arc judge, district governor.

The Dawn Sun.There is also tlio tomb of Kahcrestef,

which presents some unusual features.Firstly, tlio entrance faces west insteadof traditionally east. Secondly, it isapproached by a series of steps. Thirdly,there is a slanting niche in the roofthrough which, at dawn, the sun strikesthe false door, and thus eaves the burialchamber from the darkness which theiUicient Egyptians so disliked.

The inscriptions show that Kaherestefwas a priest of Queen Rekhetra.

In this tomb are three life-size stntuer,cut in the rock—two of the owner andono of his wife. All are smiling. _ Bythe side was found, in perfect condition.a beautiful little black granite statueof the owner. \

Finally there is the tomb of one Kakl-Ankh, named after the third king ofthe fifth Dynasty, whose Horns nameis Kaki. Hie title would be the modernequivalent of one of the Lords of theAdmiralty. Here was found a delightfulwhite limestone statuette. It showsthis official seated cross-kneed on a stelawith a scroll spread across his lap. Itresembles the famous "scribe" statue inthe Louvre. The anatomical details(ire perfect, down to the finger nails, andthe position of the feet. It is curiousto note that be hae six fingers on eachhand to show that he was an unusualpersonality.

WHEN BOWLS WASILLEGAL.

One of tiro most popular of summeroutdoor games is bowls. It is interestingto recall that there was a time when itwas unlawful to trundle "woods" alongthe sward. Early kings tried to stampit out, because they considered that itwould interfere with the regular practiceof archery, w'-Vh was necessary if warswere to lie won.

Open-air bowls was not so popular asindoor ' iwl«. played with pins insteadof the ja<-k. Bowling alleys werenumerous. They became such publicnuisances, by reason of the gambling anddissipation carried on in connection withthei-, that they were prohibited in thefifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Bowls figures largely in history.Charles I. was an enthusiast. We findShakespeare thus referring to it in"Richard IT.":—

Queen: "What sport shall we devisehere in this garden, to drive away theheavy thoughts o' care?"

Lady: "Madam, we'll piny at bowls.""Mieeli: "Twill make me think the

world is full o' ruts, and that my fortuneμ-uns against the Bias."

AUCKLAND CLUB'S PROGRESS.

SCHOOL TOURNAMENTS

(By H.0.8.)

The first tournament held for manyyears lictweeii members of the Auck-land Chess Club and a team of com-bined players from various clubs andorganisations resulted in a win for theAuckland Club, which was victorious atevery board but two, and in those casesa draw was registered in each instance-.Such matches help materially in bring-ing the same into popularity, and sosuccessful was the match that arrange-ments are now being made for a secondcontest to be held, possibly next Satur-day. Dr. Short, a vice-president ofthe Auckland Club, and Mr. E. E.Baeyertz, the club's secretary, haveagain been appointed a sub-committeeto bring off the fixture.

At a meeting of the management com-mittee of the club on Monday eveningseveral new members were admitted.The director of play, Mr. D. I. Jones,was appointed manager of the ladderin conjunction with his other duties asdirector of play. It was decided tohold the next committee meeting onMonday, April 8, and the annual meet-ing two days later—April 10.

An appreciative letter in reference tothe "Auckland Star's" chess column hasbeen received from Mr. J. A. Jackson,Kerikeii. This states, inter alia:"When all is said and done, it is the in-

NOTES OF THE DAY.

FROM FAR AND NEAR.

(By ORPHEUS.)

"Can I sell you a piano-player?""No; I married one.""I meant, of course, a mechanical

piano-player.""Well, that's the kind I married."

—"British Musician."

A young Viennese violinist hasinvented a form of mute which can beput in and out of action by a tiny,imperceptible movement of the chin. Onthe 'cello or bass the mechanism acts bya movement of the knee.

The February number of "Music inXew Zealand," contains a lecturedelivered in a Now Zealand church bya layman upon the subject, "Music andLife." This is well worth reading:, andis one of the best features of this issue.Other interesting contributions are:"Pipe, Shepherds, Pipe," by Violet A.Rucroft; "Some Considerations forHarmony Students," by T. VernonGriffiths; and a review of Percy Scholes'"The Puritans and Music." This beingthe "off" season for concerts and othermusical activities, the journal hae butlittle to say about these.

Edwin Henry Lemarc, the well-knownorganist and composer, passed on, atLos Angeles, on September 2.j. He wasborn at Ventnor, Isle of Wight, on Sep-tember 9, 1805, became Goss Scholar atthe Royal Academy of Music in 1878,later was, made an associate, and sub-sequently a Fellow. He held a numberof important posts as a church organist,and was also a noted composer, Lemare,the composer, suffered, however, fromthe undue popularity of some of hisweakest works. One of the best knownof these was his "Andantino" in D-flat,the air of which is familiar to mostthrough an arrangement entitled "Moon-light and Roses."

"The root of the nineteenth centurydevotion to oratoria lies in the fact thata certain type of religious thought con-sidered all music as almost harmful un-less it were set to the words of HolyWrit. They wanted to hear music, butthey dare not do so unless it were ofthat peculiar brand known as 'sacredmusic' It was hoped that the wordswould cancel any evil which the Devilmight have slipped into the music. Thisaccounts for the popularity of such songsas 'The Holy City , and 'The Lost Chord.'Whatever happened in the openingverses, one knew that the last versewould mention the Divine Name, andone's susceptibilities had thus been pro-perly considered; in fact, this last verse(properly treated) admitted many a songto the sanctified circle of those composi-tions which might safely be sung onSunday—thereby increasing the amountof the composer's royalties to no smallextent. It is little wonder that certainunsuccessful operatic composers shouldsee the possibilities of euch an attitudeto music. The music which had failedwhen wedded to an ordinary librettomight possibly succeed if words of areligious character were substituted. Inmaking such a change composers wererarely disappointed in the measure ofapproval which rewarded their efforts."—(From a lecture, "Music and Life,"printed in "Music in New Zealand,"February, 1935.)

SOME COMPARISONS

In view of the approaching visit tothe Dominion of. the celebrated boy vio-linist, Yehudi Menuhin, these remarks,taken from the music column of the"Birmingham Weekly Post," may be ofinterest to readers: —

Yehudi Menuhin was the attractionat the Celebrity Concert in the TownHall last week. He opened with aMozart Concerto with piano, and thenplayed the great Bach "Chaconne."These two items alone were worth allthe money charged for admission, and;n themselves sufficient to stamp thisviolinist as the greatest of his kindsince Paganini; and as I never heardPaganini, I am prepared to leave evenhim out of the running! Let me sumup this boy of seventeen years of age.Perfect intonation, magnificent phras-ing, bow control of amazing timing, anda tone of astonishing richness andclarity. That exhausts my adjectivesfor the moment.

Youth v. Age.I think I may say without egotism

that I have heard most of the greatfiddlers of the past thirty years, butnever one to compare with this youth.I have, on many occasions, closed myeyes to listen to so-called accomplishedviolinists, fearful that my hearingmight be prejudiced by what I was ableto visualise, but there was no necessityfor this with Menuhin. Like Horo-witz, the pianist, ho is supreme on hisinstrument. We may never look on hislike again, but it is pleasurable tothink that, humanly speaking, thereare many years in front of those whoare young enough to enjoy his playingin time to mmc.I was asked at the concert, by a

friend, how Menuhin compared with cer-tain other great violinists, includingKreisler, Heifetz, Kubelik and othersof {in older school such us Joachim.Well, the older school may be ignored,for the majority of them rarely playedin tune! Kubelik I would also dis-miss from the discussion for the rea-son that I never was able to place himin the ranks of the greatest fiddlers,but one must bring Kreisler and Heifetzinto the arena. Kreisler has alwaysbeen considered the great interpreter ofviolinistic music, Heifetz the most per-fect technician.

Overrated.The latter was termed "cold" by

British critics when appearing in thiscountry; Kreisler subject, by the samestandards, to infelicities in intonationoccasionally and guilty of playing toomany "Kreisler arrangements." Inother words, both wore wanting in im-portant and vital essentials.

With these opinions it is impossibleto disagree. I have still doubts aboutHeifetz; I still think he ie a greaterviolinist than critics on this side of theAtlantic have judged him, but I haveno qualms in saying that Kreisler is,and always has been, a grossly over-rated player. At the risk of heresy,I will say that hii* programmes oftrifling music have often disgusted meand that his intonation at times hasamazed, me. Not, mark you, exactlyout of tune but by no means, shall Isay, perfect to the tempered car.

Menuhin is not like either of these.His interpretative gifts are absolutelymature, his intonation impeccable, andhis tone of a quality which has neverbefore been approached by another vio-linist within living memory.

As nobody is likely toweigh each item of the food the weightsare omitted here, but the quantities maybe accepted as normal "portions;" themilk, however, is roughly quoted byquantity. The experiments showedthat breakfast should be the chief, ifnot the most substantial meal of theday, and that starchy food does notwell support the body from fatigue. Tofollow through one day:—Breakfastconsisted of orange, toast and butter,two eggs, marmalade, and tea withthree-quarter tumbler of milk; luncheon,cheese, salad, crackers and butter, bakedapple with rice pudding, and milk one-third tumbler; tea, bread, butter, jam,cakes, tea, and three-quarter tumbler ofmilk; supper, soup, mutton, cutlet,tomato, spinach, toast, orange, tea, andmilk half a tumbler. The dailyallowance of milk is a little over apint.

This diet sustained <i man of over1401b, walking about three miles daily,and moving nbout in cars and trains.The supper meats can ho omitted ifcheese is taken instead. Cutting oiitmilk resulted in fatigue, and a loss of2]lb weight in six weeks. It is obviousthat the vegetarian ean flourish exceed-ingly if his milk ration is liberal, andthe many starchy and nutty messesare not necessary, nor much fruit normany vegetables; in fact the milk inplace of meat is the only alterationrequired to put a man on the butcherlesslist.

Goitre and lodine.In 1028 an exhaustive survey of the

whole country by Prof. C. E. Hereus,Prof. W. N. Benson, and Mr. C. L. Carter—respectively bacteriologist, geologist,and chemist—led to the provisional con-clusion that the incidence of goitre InNew Zealand was inversely propor-tional to the amount of iodine in the soil(says the "Lancet"). A bulletin pub-lished in that year by the official depart-ments of health and scientific researchembodied the findings of this survey, *accepting in general the inverse relation- 'ship between goitre and soil iodine.There were then admittedly some excep-tions; for instance, while South Tara-naki soils were found to contain four'times the proportion of iodine in Thamessoils, the incidence of goitre, was rathergreater in the former than the latter dis-trict, and New Plymouth, with about 13 'times as much iodine as Thames, had 'approximately the same incidence of 'goitre. A further inquiry was under- 'taken by the two officers who had carried 'out the* original investigation, and theirreport has now appeared. Three districts 'were selected: (1) The anomalous ■Thames; (2) Palmerston North, in whichsoil iodine had been found to be lowand goitre incidence high; and (3) NewPlymouth (including part of South Tara-naki) in which iodine was high and goitrelow. The total number of childrenexamined was 4012 boys and 3782 gir'.s,and the goitres were classified as "A" or"incipient" and "B" or "visible." Latera fourth 'district— Gisborne—was added.This area had previously shown a highincidence of goitre, but most of the casesfell into the incipient class, and it wasdesired to find out whether there was anyalteration in the proportion of "A" and"B" goitre. Gisborne, however, alone ofthe four areas under survey, showed areduction in tin incidence o. goitreamong its school population. Each ofthe other three areas exhibited adeplorable increase, and New Plymouth,which had come out of the previous in-vestigation nearly goitre-free, gave thealarming figures of 82 per cent goitre inboys and §8 per cent in girls. Thameshad risen from 8 per cent boys and !)

per cent girls suffering from goitre to 23I and 31 per cent, and Palmerston Northi from 35 per cent boys and 39 per centgirls to 07 and 73 per cent respectively.One outstanding variation in the resultof the two surveys is that, whereas in1028 the incidence of goitre among girlsbegan to decline after the ago of 13, inthe later group the increase continued upto 15 years. Differences in iodine intakein varying districts being mainly dueto locally produced foodstuffs, • the,investigation was specially directed tovegetables, milk, and eggs, from which itappeared that the intake of iodine wouldbo neatly twice as high at New Ply-mouth as in Palmerston North orThames. The result of the second surveyis to reverse the findings of the iirst.The investigators were the same, thematerial was similar, and no i.oticeable"change had occurred in the circumstancesin which the children were living; yet,whereas the previous finding was highintake of iodine associated with low inci-dence of goitre and vice versa, theopposite was true of the second groupexamined. No explanation is at presentavailable of the enormous increase ofgoitre in ths school children of Taran tki.The whole subject of the importance ofiodine in relation to the disease isshrouded in perplexity.

Inoculation and Immunisation.The foregoing shows how the most

careful scientific men may he led astrayby appearances. It was the same inrelation to bush sickness in sheep. Defi-ciency of iron was asserted to be thecause and slieep were restored to healthby iron scattered on the pasture. Thelatest reports stale that the iron as adrug was not the immediate cause ofthe improvement and that bush sicknessis still a mystery. A list of what wedo not know would reach round theworld, but it is the things stated to betrue, and then disproved or contradicted,which break the faith of the public.Protective inoculation by serum is nowin 'question, and the "Lancet" says ino-culation does not mean immunity inregard to diphtheria, the correct word-ing being "inoculation is not neecs-earily immunisation." "It ie a peculiarfact that, while artificial active immuni-sation is an almost absolute protectionagainst clinically recognisable diphtheria,it has no effect whatever in preventingsubsequent carrier infection; at the sametime and place the virulent carrier-rateis just as high among the artificiallyimmunised as among those with naturalnegative tests. When a number of child-ren in a school or community are madeimmune by inoculation with a diph-theria prophylactic, the density of viru-lent diphtheria carriers may be corres-pondingly increased. Fatal or severecases are practically unknown in those

whose reaction is known to have becomenegative after anti-diphtheria inocula-tio°n. It is, however, quite improper touse tlio word "inoculated' as a syno-nym for 'immunised, in anti-diphtheriawork. Some 5 per cent to 10 per centof children, according to circumstances,are not made immune. The carrier-rate depends on a host of known andunknown factors, but other things beingequal the rate should be directly pro-portional to the percentago of the popu-lation which is immune. In practice itcan bo assumed that all carriers of viru-lent diphtheria bacilli have negativereactions. On the other hand those inwhom the reaction remains positive aresusceptible to diphtheria and cannot har-bour virulent diphtheria bacilli for anyleno-th of time without exhibiting symp-toms of the disease. The exceptionsto this working rule are too few toinvalidate the argument." ,

When a child is naturally or artifici-ally immune ho may easily become acarrier, showing no symptoms. Theeffect then of distributing artificial im-

munity is to increase the possibility ofdistributing the disease—an unpleasantconsequence. "The best laid plans ofmice and men gang oft agley."

LLOYD'S HONOUR.

GALLANT GERMAN CREW.

Eleven German sailors, the boat's crewof the Hamburg-America liner Xew Yorkwho rescued the crew of the Norwegiansteamship Sieto in mid-Atlantic onDecember 10, were presented with medalslit Lloyd's recently.

Before a crowded audience in thelibrary Mr. S. J. Aubrey, chairman ofLloyd's, spoke of the bravery of thesemen, who risked their lives in a tempes-tuous sea.

Mr. Aubrey added that the committeeof Lloyd's,

'

feeling that the captain,officers and crew of the Xew York alsotook an important part in the rescues,had decided to present the ship with abronze plaque recording the services ren-dered.

Second Officer Wicsen (since promotedto first officer), who commanded the boatwhich carried out the rescues, thenreceived a silver medal, and the boat'scrow wore handed bronze medals. SecondOfficer Wiesen expressed their thanks,adding that they had only done theirduty in trying to uphold the traditionsof the sea.

The- German Ambassador, Herr vonHoesch, read a message from the GermanForeign Minister, Baron Xeurath, inwhich ho said:"I regard the honouring of the cour-

ageous deed in a foreign country as asignificant proof of the fact that thespirit of sacrifice and helpfulness shownto such a degree by German sailors isfully understood and recognised amongother nations."

As the German sailors left the libraryfor the Underwriting Room they werereceived with loud cheering.

FIND OUT HER AGE.

There is a good deal of amusement inthe following table of figures. It willenable you to tell how old any lady is.Just hand this table to a young ladyand request her to tell in which columnor columns her age is contained; addtogether the figures at the top of thecolumns in which her age is found, andyou have the great secret. Thus, sup-poso her age to bo 17, you find thatnumber in the first and fifth columns;add the iirst figures of these two col-umns. Her age may be found in morethan two columns, in which case theadditional first figure must be added.Here is the magic table:—

THE WEARING OF RINGS.

It is supposed that in early ages thewearing of rings was instituted as anemblem of authority and government.Wo read in tlic Bible that Pharaoh tookhis ring from his linger and presentedit to Joseph, as a sign of vested autho-rity. In conformity to ancient usage,the Christian Church adopted the ringin the ceremony of marriage, as asymbul of the authority with which thehusband invested his wife. This wasmade of gold, which metal the ancientsused as a symbol of love, the ring itselfbeing an emblem of eternity, or lovewithout end. Kings, it appears, werefirst worn in India, whence the practicedescended to the Egyptians, thence tothe Greeks, from whom it passed to theRomans and others. The wedding ringwas placed on the third finger of theleft hand, because it was believed thata small artery ran from this finger tothe heart. This has been contradictedby experience; but several eminentauthors were formerly of this opinion,therefore they thought this finger themost proper to bear the pledge of love,that from thence it might be carried tothe heart. Others are inclined to thinkthat it was in consequence of this fingerbeing used less than any other, and ismore capable of preserving a ring frombruises. Family rings wen; formerlygiven away, at a marriage as weddingpresents.

CHAPTER XI.M. Hercules Popeau, of Paris.

The urbane-looking and polishedBaron Tigau, whose official designationis Introducer of Ambassadors, was an-nounced within a very few moments ofGeorge Adams' arrival at the C'rillonHotel. In fact, the Englishman hadonly had time to walk from his bed-room into the enchanting little sittiiigroom which opened on to a wide leadedroof overlooking the Place de la Con-corde, before the baron appeared.

As for Helen de Floury, she had notyet joined her brother. She was stillwith Queen Magia—assisting her tosettle into the Villa Sirene, a largewhite marble building overlooking theAvenue du Bois de Boulogne.

In a sincere, impressive tone, thebaron exclaimed: "I should be verymuch obliged Mr. Adams, if you wouldallow me to make you acquainted witha man who has the entire trust both ofthe prefect of the police, and of the pre-sident of the Republic!"

The other looked at Baron Tigau withsurprise. Ho wondered, within him-self, who this remarkable person couldbe.

"His name," went on the other, "isHercules Popeau; and he has only justretired from our Criminal InvestigatingDepartment."

The baron waited a few moments;then he went on: "Now and again, asa favour, and, you may bo surprised tohear, without consenting to take a fee,Popeau steps back into his old shoes,at the request of our Government. Andas you will, maybe, have guessed bynow, to this famous ex-secret agent hasbeen confided the- personal safety ofFrance's all-important guest, KingBolba. That being so I should be verymuch obliged, Mr. Adams, if you willhave the kindness to allow him to havea few words with you."

"I can't help thinking," said GeorgeAdams thoughtfully, "that I heard of:his Hercules Popeau during the ParisConference."

"Why of course you did! He lookedafter all the arrangements made forthe safety of all the great personageswho attended. Ho now has a suite ofrooms in a delightful seventeenth cen-tury house, the Hotel Paragon, on theother side of the river. It is there heis to be found when wanted."

"When may I expect this remarkableindividual to call on me?"

The Baron smiled."As a matter of fact he'is here down-

stairs, so I will bid you farewell, andsend him up to you."

Baron Tigau rose from his chair. Hewas again the typical stiff, thoughexquisitely courteous. French official.

He bowed low before King Bolba'stemporary aide-de-camp.

"Mr. Adams? I salute- in you theBritish Empire."

The Baron smiled himself out of theroom, and there seemed scarely time forhim to have been taken down in thelift, before there came a quiet knock atthe door of the sitting room.

Adams called out "Entrez"; the handleof the door was turned; and a big,stout elderly man walked in and ex-claimed in English—"Mr. Adams? Her-cules Popeau at your service!"

"I'm very pleased to meet you—" saidthe Englishman heartily. He was stillenough of a boy to feel a thrill at meet-ing a world famous secret-agent, as suchmen arc now styled.

The Frenchman glanced at the closeddoor, then cast a quick look round thelow-ceilinged sitting room.

"As it is such a beautiful day, whyshould we not go out on your superbterrace?" he asked.

"By all means," said Adams, and thetwo men stepped out together on theleads of the ancient palace built by aDuke of old France.

"To my mind—but of course you maynot agree with me," observed HerculesPopeau, "this is the most interestingtown view in the world. To the left wehave the Tuileries Gardens, where somuch history has been made; and beforeus, just where the obelisk stands, notonly a king and a queen, but innumer-able great and noble folk, noble in classand noble in nature, as I think most ofthe Revolutionary records prove, wereguillotined.

"On the right stretch the ChampsElysees—the Elysian Fields dear to theheart of every Frenchman, ending withthe Arc de Trionipho, and under thatarch the tomb of the Unknown Warrior."

"And right in front of us," exclaimedthe Englishman, smiling, "the Chamberof Deputies."

Hercules Popeau shrugged hisshoulders. "To me that building is ablot on the view. 'The House of Parrots,"that is what I call our Chamber ofDeputies." -

He turned away from the edge of theterrace. "You permit me to sit down,Mr. Adams?"

Adams was surprised, even a littleamused, by his visitor. Somehow Her-culee Popeau looked more like one ofthose jolly, easy-going taverners whokeep comfortable inns in the Pyreneesthan a marvellously able and acutesecret agent.

The Frenchman went across to theopen glazed door of the sitting roomand carefully closed it.

"I am most anxious to know fromyou," lie said gravely, "something aboutthat Syrian who calls himself KingBolba's Grand Vizier."

"I know nothing about him at all,"said George Adams quickly. "In fact,to tell you the truth, I hardly ever seehim."

The Frenchman looked deeply dis-appointed. He looked round him cau-tiously. "He is the one person aboutwhom I have not been able to find outanything."

Adams said quickly, "The reason forthat is simple. There is really nothingto find out about the man. I am surehe takes bribes. I am equally sure heis not in a position to give anything inreturn for them."

Popeau leaned forward. "Do not speaktoo loud. Walls have ears where a dis-tinguished diplomat happens to be stay-ing."

George Adams said rather sharply, "Iam not a diplomat, Monsieur Popeau."

The Frenchman said suavely, "Youare for the moment—whether you likeit or not—holding a post that anydiplomat might envy."

The other remained silent; he couldnot deny what Popeau had jfist said.

"And now, Mr. Adams, I think, if youcan spare me the time, that I mustentertain you concerning a very seriousmatter."

He put his fingers together, andGeorge Adams stiffened into sharp at-tention. He asked himself uneasily whatit. could be that this Frenchman wasgoing to say to him.

"You are, I understand, acting astemporary A.D.C. to King Bolba?" Asthe other nodded, he added, "In thatposition you must have found, from dayto day, your work, if I may so call it,become more and more onerous andresponsible."

George Adams felt a tremor of sur-prise and, it must be admitted, angersweep over him. What Hercules Popeauhad just said was, almost word for word,what Adams had written to a, very closefriend in the Paris Embassy from Ber-lin. It might be only a coincidence, butit looked as if hie letters were beingopened.

"That being so, I am sure you willagree with me, my dear sir, that you andI ought to confer together, concerning thesafety in Paris of an African monarch,whoso prolonged existence is at any rateof importance to every civilieed people."

"In what sense do you mean, MonsieurPopeau ?"

"If the concession which Bolba is aboutto grant brings not only wealth, buthappiness and health to innumerablehuman beings, then I, being a philosopher,should not much care who gets it—ifonly tho country in question honestlyworks it to tho benefit of humanity. ButI am a Frenchman, and I trust a patriot;therefore, I hope with, all my heart thatit is Franco who will ultimately begranted tho concession. You, I under-stand,"—there came a slightly satiricallook in his small bright eyes—"remainneutral as to this delicate question ?"

"You are right in supposing that I amneutral. I have nothing to do with busi-ness in any way. And I took on what Iconfess has been a more oneruos job thanI expected, to please a friend."

And then he stopped. He did not wishto reveal to a Frenchman that the friendin question belonged to the. BritishForeign Office.

"Ah, yes," said Hercules Popeau negli-gently. "I know that the gentleman inquestion—Mr. Michael Fanehawe—isclever, and very agreeable. We thinkhe is likely lo come over to Paris duringthe next few days."

George Adams could not conceal hisdiscomfiture. And the older man laughed,not ill-naturedly. "Come come, Mr.Adams—is it not our businees to knowwhy you were chosen rather thananother gentleman?"

Tho Frenchman lowered his voice. "Imust reveal to you that I feel terriblyanxious concerning this stay in Paris ofKing Bolba. He is in deadly danger—danger that becomes more and moredeadly, as tho time approaches for lamto leave Europe."

George Adams leant forward. He wasextremely surprised—surprised, and yes,excited, too, by the other's unexpectedconfidence.

"What makes you think that?" heexclaimed. "lias he any special enemyin tliis city?"

"Xot that I know of. But I have nodoubt that there are people who desireto destroy Bolba while ho is in Paris.Before being here, were these eainovillains in London. Mr. Adams; mostcertainly also in Berlin, and—in Venice!"

"What makes you think that?""I do not think it. I regard it a

positive fact. And I thought it onlyright to put my cards, as they say, onthe table, with regard to yourself."

Adams leapt up from the chair onwhich he was sitting. "In what way?"he demanded. "I am sure that I cannotimagine who would have the slightestinterest in taking King Bolba's life?"

Hercules Popeau looked pityingly atthe Englishman. Was the good-lookingyoung man before him really as simpleas all that?

"To begin with," he said gravely,"there must be many Big Business in-terests who, if they have any reason tosuppose that Bolba is not going to givetheir special group or country the con-cession that is in question, believe thatthey would have a much better chancewith his successor. But, whatever thereason may be, you can believe me whenI tell you that someone intends to com-pass Bolba's death. A first attempt onBolba's life was made in London, Mr.Adams."

He looked fixedly at the younger man."A step wae cut out of a staircase dawnwhich the great chief was about to de-scend from the chamber of hia favouriteHagar. Had he fallen through the hole!and broken, say, his leg only, there wouldIhave been someone ready in hiding tofinish him off "

"Are you sure of that?" cried Adams.The Frenchman nodded. "And now Icome to what took place in Berlin! I

do not know if you arc aware of theterrible affair which caused the life of acharming young girl to be sacrificed."

George Adams felt utterly bewildered.He had not heard a word of what hadhappened in the old Schlose. Helen hadkept her word to this German official.

"I do not wish to enforce your con-fidence, but I cannot help supposing that)your sister the Comtesso de Fleury willhave told you what occurred," addedHercules Popeau quietly.

"I have heard nothing, and, frankly, Ido not believe anything happened inBerlin."

Popeau exclaimed: "The Countess doFleury will certainly confirm the fol-lowing facts."

He went on in quick staccato accents:"A box of chocolates was sent to theirMajesties, addressed to them at the OldSchloss. Queen Magia gave it to a Ger-man Maid of Honour, and—as a resultof eating those sweets the young girldied."

"Are you quite sure that happened inBerlin?"

"Quite sure."Again the Frenchman waited a few

moments, then he said, "You must boaware of all that happened in Venice?"

"In Venice?" repeated George Adamsmechanically, and he sighed.

Out there, in the brilliant June sun ofa perfect Paris day, he was rememberingall that had taken place during thatmemorable night. How he had brokendown a hidden door giving into QueenMagia's bed-chamber, just in time torescue her from an awful death Jbyburning.. "Yes, Mr. Adams, what I am going totell you is, of course, known to you, butI doubt if you know all the detai>) asto the fire which nearly succeeded indestroying King Bolga."

Ada me remained silent. He had sud-denly made up his mind that he, him-eelf, would not say a single word as tothat terrible and sinister affair.

"In Venice," said Hercules Popeauimpressively, "the room in which Bolbahad been expected to sleep was eet fireto deliberately."

"He was watching, the Englishman'simpassive face intently,' as he spoke.

''Most fortunately, the King was notin his room tliat night! he was in thewomen's quarters at the back of thePalazzo. The affair was stifled, andvery rightly ami properly so, by theItalian Government. But it was only ahappy accident that Bolba was notroasted to death!"

"And are you sure that it was not anaccident'!"

"So little was it an accident that thedoor of the room in question wae lockedand bolted from the inside.' The assassinset fire to the chamber from a balconywhich ran all along the front of thePalazzo, overlooking the Grand Canal."

'"Yes, I wae aware of that," saidAdams. "I mean' lam aware that thefire started near a window. That waecommon knowledge."

"What happened in Venice will showyou that whoever desires King Bolba'sdeath will stick at nothing."

Tho young man then asked a questionin a voice which he strove to makeindifferent. "Do you believe that who-ever wants King Bolba out of the wayalso desires to assassinate QueenMagia?" lie asked.

The Frenchman' shook hie head. "No,that I do not believe. Her death is tono one's interest."

"What do you fear may happen here,in Paris '!"

"Ah, now, Mr. Adams, we come to thereal matter in hand. Not only am Inaturally determined that there shallbe no incident of a disagreeable kindhere, but I need hardly point out to youthat if King Bolba were to be killed,or die, in Paris, his successor would rotbo likely to sell his all-valuable conces-sion to .France."

"What sort of precaution nre youtaking?" asked the other with somecuriosity.

"Tho matter of protecting a Royalpersonage is comparatively easy, whenwo are dealing with his progress, orprogresses, through the city, thoughthere is always the danger that a bombmay lie thrown from a window, as hap-pened eotne years ago in India. Alsoit is possible that some desperate anar-chist may get near enough to the Royalequippage to stab its occupant."

"Are you afraid of that happening?"(To be continued next Saturday.)

FAMOUS OYSTER EATERS.

32 DOZEN—AND THEN DINED !

There have been famous oyster eatersdown the ages. Brilliant Savarin tellsof a man he met at Versailles, one M.Laperte, who never could get enoughoysters. One day Savarin invited himto dinner, and started with oysters asan appetiser. "I kept pace with himup to the third dozen," says the famousgourmet, "and then allowed him to gomi alone. He swallowed oysters steadilyfor more than an hour, and I had to stophim of tor the thirty-second dozen, just<is he remarked thXt he was beginningto enjoy himself. We then dined!"

In tho "fifties" of last century oneDando frequently figured in the Londonpolice courts. He was an oyster maniac.During the "R" period he would go fromone oyster phop to another devouring themolluscs. When he could not pay forthem he would plead poverty and playother tricks.

Then theie was the Trish oy<=tor fiendwho died in 1839 after consuming for awager 240 oysters in 19 minutes. Theysaid of him'when they put him in hiscoffin: "One good shell deserves another."

On Christmas Eve a few yeare agothree Liverpool cotton brokers consumedbetween them :JB7 oyetere, and after-wards travelled by "the night expressto London without paying for excelsfare. The feat encouraged the proprietorof a Liverpool oyster saloon to burstinto literature about (he oyster. Hewrote a leaflet in which he ventured theadvice: "If you cannot go to the sea-sido for a holiday, eat oysters." It isthe iodine in them that does it, heallirmed, and he added: "Swallow anoyster and get the sea breeze feeling.Science sanctions each slippery swallow.Napoleon fought his beet battles on adaily dozen."

"THE COURT STANDSADJOURNED."

The assizes were due at Galway. Thejudge arrived at ten o'clock, was receivedin liecoming state, and proceeded to hisbillet at the house of the Sheriff of thecounty. A goodly company sat tolunch. As sometimes happens in Gal-way the conversation turned on horses.His lordship loved horses. He lovedthem in the stables, in the shafts, inthe saddle, and on the racecourse. Per-haps he had an inclination towards race-meetings. "Mr, Sheriff," said his lord-ship, "when is your next race meeting?""To-morrow, my lord." "To-morrow!But tho court opens to-morrow!" "Yes.my lord." "But—or, in Galway—er, Ihave heard so many strange thingsabout Galway, can you be sure of tlip.witnesses and the counsel attending?""Oh, yes, my lord, we have most ofthem under lock and key." "Really,really, Mr. Sheriff, most unconstitu-tional—most. No wonder the countyis in an unsettled state. Er—by theway, Dr.—Dr Gorham—l think, I sup-pose you are perfectly satisfied with thesanitary condition of the court?" "I am.my lord; the sanitary inspectors and theworkmen only left off yesterday.""Really, most unfortun—I mean, mostpraiseworthy. Suppose we walk downto the court-house." They went to thecourt-house in a body. His lordshipsniffed. There was a smell of gas, andall the windows were shut. "Really,doctor," declared his lordship, "I amsurprised at you deceiving me in thismanner. I must adjourn the openingof the court for - two days. Have thewindows open, all the windows open,in the meantime, and meet me at dinnerto-night, I must really pass my severestcensure upon you."

THE TIBIAL OFCICELYSELBY

CHAPTER XI."I Washed My Hands of Her."

After the first sensation of Cicely.Sclby'e arrest and commitment had dieddown, the Press gave the case a rest.

On the day, however, when the servicerevolver was found rolled up in someoily raw on the roof of the automaticlift in the block of fiats where SebastianMendez had lived, tho newspapers buretforth again and placards trumpeted thediscovery in black and red at everystreet corner.

"Revolver Found in Selby Case" wasbawled out into the night, and tapemachines ticked the news into clubwaste paper baskets.

At Peiigeiuere, however, the eveningpaper did )iot avrivo until late, and attea time the news was not yet knowneither to the aunt or the sister of theimprisoned girl.

Upon the sofa heaped, with cushionsJill Selby lolled by the fire. Seated morestiffly by her ei'do was Basil Gilmojc,now naturally a frequent visitor atPengemcre. Ho had come down fromtown that day and was telling Jill ofall that he had heard.

"I can't eay that I care Tor you to becoTineeted with sueli a ease," he said.

Jill helped herself to a chocolate fromthe box by her side and bit it.

"I'm not connected with, it," fthemumbled with a full mouth.

"It's your sieter," Gilmorc told her.The girl, however, remained quite

unmoved."Darlinjr, I can't help it and you

needn't rub it in," she returned."Everyone is awfully sorry for you.""Are they?" X'lia.t pleased Jill

immensely. With a. short laugh, shesaid: "Perhaps I could eell the story ofmy life to the Press for a vast sum;what d'you think? Have I news value,um V

Giluiore'ft displeasure was evident, asfirmly he answered: "Certainly not."

The girl did not see his point, however,and went on:

"I'm euro I have. Think of it. Onlysister of the arrested girl! I believe Icould get a lot of money for it."

Rising, Gihnore took up a position onthe hearthrug and looked down at Jillwith disapproval.

"Plyaso remember," he told her, "thatI have something to say in the matter,and the quieter you keep in regard toit all the better."

The man's tone ~woa severe, and Jillflung him a searching glance frombeneath her lashes. She did not wish togoad Gilmore too far, anyway, notbefore they were, married. But ho didlook pompous and blown out, standingthere with his feet apart. Concealing asmile, she reached up, caught his handand in conciliatory tones purred:

"Darling, I was only teasing you.Didn't you know?" When Jill -said"teasing" she usually meant "trying iton." The one was only a disguise forthe other. But Gilmore did not yetknow it, and was at once mollified.Bending over, ho kissed the curly brownhead.

"I'm sorry for you, too, my dear," hesaid generously. That he meant eorryfor himself went without saying. Indeed,Cicely had put him in a very awkwardposition. Had ho only waited a daylonger, a few hours even, he would havebeen .able to await developments beforeassociating himself fi-o closely with thismost unpleasant affair.

"Basil, d'you think it awful of menot going up to see Cicely?" asked Jillin a small and purposely helpless voice."I don't feel I could boar to see hershut up in that awful place."' That was the kind of language whichGilmoro understood. Seating himselfbesido the girl, ho took her hands in his.

"Of course not, darling. I shouldn'tlike you to go if you did not want to.Prisons are no place for a child likeyou."

Jill agreed heartily and rubbed herhead caressingly against his shoulder.What marvellous luck that Basil hadproposed when he had. Supposing hebad waited a few, hours longer. Ah,well, evidently the gods were on herside.

• "Basil," she sighed. "Let's talk ofsomething else."

They did, until after six o'clock, whenthe door was flung open and Lady Pengemarched in.

"Why are you sitting in the dark?"she asked, suspiciously eyeing the sur-prised couple.

"There wae the firelight," murmuredJill.

"Uinph! That Pry man has comedown from town, so you'll have to finishyour tete-a-tete later. Why he shouldcall upon us at this time of day I can'timagine." Lady Penge punched thecushions out where Jill had emptiedthem, and with a growl of disgust sheemptied the ashtray into the fire. Thenfinally she put on the lid of the choco-late box. She then turned her atten-tion to Jill. "Your hair looks as if thebirds had been nesting in it. Go andbrush it," she ordered.

Before the girl had liafl time to com-ply, however, Samuel Pry was shownin. Carrying a leather ]>ortfolib. liestopped carefully over the polished floortowards them.

"I'm :-o sorry to trouble you at thishour," lie began apologetically.

"So you ought to bo," Lady Pengcsnapped.

Pry ensiled uncomfortably, remark-ing:

"You must be very worried about MissCicely."

It was an unfortunate opening, butthe solicitor had formed the habit ofvoicing such" phrases.

Lady Pengc eyed her visitor bcliger-ently.

"What have you come for?""There are a few questions—"

Mr. Pry got no further."Didn't 1 tell you to get on with it,

and not come troubling me?" LadyPenge demanded.

"Yes, but I am afraid as Miss Cicely'sonly relation I am obliged to come toyou for certain information."

Pry opened his case and took out somepapers. Lady Penge's square chinassumed an obstinate angle as sheretorted:

"When Cicely left me to live by her-self in London I washed my hands ofher. What sho has done or not donesince then I cannot tell you. If she hasmade a fool of herself, it's not my busi-ness."

"What an objectionable woman."thought Pry, glancing at her ladyshipover the golden rims of his spectacles.Everything about her revolted his senseof tlifi fitting. Her untidy heuna'd head,her hard face on which the rouge hadbeen so carelessly applied that one rosycheek blushed quite half an inch abovethe other, her thin, largc-bonc hands

A POWERFUL STORY OF A WOMAN UNJUSTLY ACCUSED,

BY THE AUTHOR OF "STRANGE ABSENCE."

ByALLYNSLOAN

upon which glittered a formidable arrayof rings, and last but not least hermouth, thin-lipped and cynical.

"Um," he told her quietly. "That maybe so, Lady Penge, but in law you areMiss Cicely's aunt—"

"The Law's an ass," quoted that lady.Pry's lips twisted into a wry smile."So I have heard," lie- said. "Still, if

we might get on—I have a train tocatch. ,,

"Well?""Er—may I sit down?" Without wait-

ing for permission, Pry seated himself."Perhaps I might put a few questionsto Miss Jill?"

"I don't know anything about Cicely'saffairs," the girl told him ungraciously.

"No? Aβ her sister, I should havethought—however—" Pry sighed. Fami-lies were odd these days, very odd. "Bytho way, have you seen the eveningpaper yet?" Catching up the "EveningReport," which ho had brought fromtown, the solicitor handed it. "That, Ithink, will interest you." He pointed atthe fourth column of the front page.

Jill took the preferred paper reluc-tantly and would probably not haveread it, liad not Gilitiorc leant over herBliouldcr.

'•Hullo!" he exclaimed. "So they'vefound tlie revolver!"

"Yes.""Rolled lip in some oily rags on the

top of tho automatic lift. What apeculiar place to have thrown it."

"Did it belong to CicelyV asked LadyPengc.

Pry coughed dryly."That is what they have to prove.

Miss Cicely denies that it is hers,although naturally the prosecution wilLtry to prove that it was."

"No finger prints, I see," Gilmoreobserved.

"No. I thought; Miss Jill might be*able to help us about that revolver. .

"Me?" Jill stared and for a rnomeni;seemed to be taken aback. Seeing, how-,ever, that Pry was not watching heiy,she pulled herself together and laughedmost convincingly. "Why should Ianything about it?"

"Miss Cicely says that she owned arevolver once, but that she has not sfcenit for a long while. Now her flat 'hasbeen searched, but no revolver apjjearsto be there. I thought perhaps thatyou "

"Of course I don't know anythingabout it," Jill insisted quickly.

"Did you ever see the revolver at anytime?"

"No; I didn't know she had one."".Ah, that is a pity." Pry was dis-

appointed. He had hoped that tbe sistermight be of assistance. Her manner,however, was anything but helpful,rather the contrary. The solicitordirected a keen glance at Jill, who wasperched upon the arm of the dhair. Hesaw with disapproval that, althoughonly twenty, her face was made up anddespite her tender age that sjie had anair of experience andwhich he considered most unsuitable.

"Are you not sorry for your sister?"he put to her involuntarily.

"Jill wriggled and answered rathertestily:

"Of course I am, but I can't help it ifshe's such an ass as to get herselfinto trouble. It's not my fault is it?"

"She's only got herself to blame," LadyPenge flung over her shoulder.

Pry's lips assumed a severe line asonco again he pressed:

"You are quite sure then that youknow nothing whatever about that re-volver of Miss Cicely's?"

"I've told you I don't," the girl re-plied with an impatient jerk of theshoulders.

The solicitor sighed."I'm sorry: it's an important point.

However—Now, Miss Jill, you called onyour sister, I understand, on tho morn-np of her arrest."

"Jill's whole frame stiffened and shesat tensely waiting.

"Why did you call on her?""Why does one call on anyone?" she

retorted scornfully.Lady Penge flung up her head."What's that, Jill? Didn't you sleep

at Cicely's flat?"A sulky expression marred the Cupid's

bow lips as they said:"No. I stayed at the Peels. I

couldn't get into-'Cicely's flat becauseI'd lost my key. I rang and rang,but she was out."

To Pry it did not sound at all con-vincing, but apparently the girl's auntaccepted the tale. Jill, however, angryat having her misdemeanours thusrevealed, turned to him and asked:

"I can't see what it's got to do withyou whether I called on Cicely or not."

"Anything which concerns Miss Cicelyconcerns me," he told her curtly. "What1 wish to arrive at is what conditionyou found your sister in when you calledthat morning."

To the solicitor's amazement Jilllaughed.

"She woe quite sober, but she had abit of a hang-over."

This retort was not favourablyreceived by cither of the men. Ratherpompously Gilmore gasped a word ofreproof, and Pry, his lips twisting dis-tastefully, remarked :

"Miss Cicely had a headache, I know.It was not to that I was referring. Didshe seem at all—well—cr—nervous, orin any way different from usual?"

The brown head shook."Oh, no. There's no variety about

Cicely. She's always the same."At every moment Pry's dislike of Jill

was growing. Very severely he eyedher, then flung a glance at Lady Penge.She, however, was perusing her eveningpaper <md had turned her back uponhim. Goaded to anger by such treat-ment he jerked rather sharply:

"You do ?iot seem to be very fond ofyour sister if I may say so, Miss Jill."

Standing up, the girl stretched."Oh. do get on. I wait to go and

dress," <shc groaned."I have only a few more questions,

but I do beg of you to give me all thehelp you can. Perhaps you do notrealise the gravity of Miss Cicely's posi-tion'!"

"Oh, well." sighed Jill resignedly."What is it?"

Pry glanced at hie papers ae heasked:

"You, I believe, knew Don SebastianMendez?"

Tho girl darted a. furtive glance athor aunt.

"Just." Quickly she shuddered."Ck'oly took me to' one of his partiesonce."

"Oh ? How well did your sisterknow him ? Did she see him often ?"

The slim shoulders Blmigged."I don't know, She may' have."

WENDYCHATS

Dear Girls,"Ready, steady, go!" Michael is roaring, and the Lost Boys are

rushing helter-skelter down the corridor. It is awful. And all this becausePeter Pan, in an unthinking moment, promised the fastest runner at the endof March a box of chocolates. Oh, dear! and here they come back again, andthe very building shaking on its foundations 1

I mustn't forget to tell you about our butterfly. Last week Peter Panwrote of the caterpillar we found, and how after a day or so it hung headdownwards from a dahlia stem, and changed to a chrysalis. Do you remember?Well, on Tuesday morning there, gorgeous in its lovely colourings, was ourDanais plexippus butterfly. How I do wish you could have seen it, girls. Itswings from tip to tip must have measured well over three inches, and theglorious bright amber and black markings, speckled with silvery white dots,made it indeed a tiny creature of beauty. On Wed-nesday morning we took it to the park, and there, i » j^amidst the flowers and the greenery, it spread out its k lufl^&^^lovely wings and fluttered away. ft jQ^A^^^^^^

A TREASURE HUNT.323, Gladstone Road,

Gisborne.Bear Wendy,—

I suppose most of us have readRobert Louis Stevenson's thrilling novel,"Treasure Island." To advertise thepicture, which was shown here somelittle time ago, the manager of thetheatre held an enjoyable gala func-tion on the Waikanae Beach for okl andyoung alike. Well, Wendy, the weatherwas perfect, and experienced authorityestimated that the largest crowd everseen on the'beach turned out to enjoythe gala "Treasure Island" treasurehunt.

Well, Wendy, all the boys and girls,dressed up as pirates, met at the postoffice at 2.30 p.m., and headed by a huge"Treasure Island" float, joined in the

. procession and proceeded via GladstoneRoad and Grey Street to the beach.There, on the sand, was buried thetreasure, a, pirate's golden casket con-taining £2 in florins, besides 50 othervaluable prizes in tins.

They marched down to the water'sedge, where they awaited the pirates'long boat. In about five minutes' timeit hove in sight, and attempted to landon shore. Aboard her were Long JohnSilver and company of pirates, armedto the teeth, with cutlasses and knives.The children rushed into the shallowwater and attacked the pirates. Theywere then brought ashore, and forcedto plant a flag near the hidden treasure.

Such a rush at the sand, Wendy.Some had shovels and spades, otherswere scratching up the sand with theirfingers. That section of the beach wassifted as never before. Grown-ups

■■* joined in the fun, and every now andthen fresh shouts of joy would tell youthat, some of them had unearthed someof the hidden treasures.

At last a young boy found the goldencasket, where dozens of other peoplehad been searching before Mm, andwhen asked what he would do with ithe said, "Pay the gas bill." There wasalso a prize for the beet boy's and girl'scostume.

Speedboat and aquaplaning thrillsadded to the pleasure of the afternoon,and all returned home, Wendy, afterhaving a very enjoyable afternoon.

With best love fromDorothy Calvey.

A COUNTRY HOME.

Lincoln Road,Henderson

Dear Wendy,—As I know tliat you have rather

a passion for the country, I thought Iwould write and describe my home toyou.

Let us begin with the front. Anavenue of tall, foreign trees leads up tothe two storeyed house. Two oak trees,imported from Spain, cause much atten-tion. Although several holly trees donot berry at Christmas time, the redand yellow berries in the winter givethat delightful Christmassy feeling weexpect round about December. Oneither side of the path at the bottomof the trees are. two strips of garden,gaily decorated with flowers.

The paddocks at present smell sosweet with their hay. and the herd ofJersey cowe gazing placidly in the fields,makes a pleasant sight. At menl t i ineight little noses of pigs protrude overthe wall at the sty. A bull, a horseand five cats complete the list of ani-mals which we own.

The crowning glory at my horfie is atidal creek which runs through ourboundary. As the Tui Glen campingground is only a short distance away,many boate from it glide up and downstream when the tide is high.

Last Christmas a large launch stayedat anchor for several days, provisionsbeing procured through the proprietorof Tui Glen. So, you see, the creek isno small place.

All our family love farm life, so youmay gather from this letter that weenjoy every hour we spend in thisdelightful farm houec amid fairyliknsurroundings.

Your new Budgctite,Esther Hannan.

THE STORY OF THE POPLAR TREE.

The story of the- forming of the poplartree is one of the loveliest of the GreekNature myths, and one of the saddesttoo, perhaps, and this is the tale.

There were four children in the familyof the Sun and his wife Clymene—a boy,Phaeton, and his three sisters, Lampetie,Phaethusa and Aegla. Now, Phaetonwas obstinate and disobedient, like manyanother boy, and one day he determinedtr, drive his father's chariot across thesky. The 3un king ;lid everything hecould to dissuade him, but unfortunatelylie had sworn an oath to deny Phaetonnothing. However, he gave the boy allsorts of advice, bidding him k -ep wellin the middle of the route, lest he shouldscorch either.the earth or the sky, andthen Aurora opened the d?_o gates and

away the boy drove, the splendid horsespulling at the reins, pager for the day'sflight.

And so eager were they that Phaeton,not accustomed to steering, not able tobalance the chariot properly, could notkeep them in the proper course. Toolato Phaeton learned that his fatherknew best, and so afraid did he becomethat he dropped the reins on the horses'backs and let them go their way un-guided. Then began a terrible time. Thehorses flew now so close to the sky thatthe stars scattered wide; then so closeto the earth that rivers dried up, andthe- heat was so intense that the wholeof North Africa was scorched and thepeople turned black, as they are stillto-day. All the while Phaeton lay in hischariot, maddened with heat, until atlast, when the horses gave one excep-tionally fiery spurt, ho was tossed outinto a river.

His three siwters found the spot wherethe nymphs had buried Phaeton, and ithey went to the river to see his grave. !And it was here they were turned topoplar trees, to .stand guard always andto mourn for their brother. And alwaysin the springtime the sun, growing in jheat, warms the little budf on the trees, |

and the hard gum inside the buds melts jand drops down like little tears falling, iSo always it seems that the poplarBisters are weeping for their broi_*r. J

BOBBY MAKES A HOLIDAY COLLECTION.AND PETER PAN EXPLAINS ABOUT SEA SHELLS.

Dear Boys and Girls,—

Bobby came to see me the other day carrying a most mysterious-looking cardboard box under his arm.It s my holiday collection, Peter Pan," he explained, taking off the lid of the box.

Inside was a collection of shells— shells of all shapes and sizes. There Were pink ones, pale, blue ones,mauve ones, and pure white ones. There Were little fans and trumpety ones, and liny brown snail houses.There Were flat ones striped with green and brown, wee pointed mountains, and ordinary scallop shells.Altogether Bobby had made a'collection as bright and varied as any in a museum, and as he collected themhe learnt .several little interesting facts about them.

Shells are built from the food that the animal absorbs. The little fish have surface cells which have thepower of separating the lime that the sea has dissolved into their food, and this lime is thrown out on to thesurface, where it hardens and lakes the form of a shell.

The colour in the shells is there for one of two purposes. Perhaps it is to warn off other creatures,and those are the brightly coloured ones, such as purples and reds. Others are coloured for protection, andthese shellfish take on something of the colouring of their surroundings, such as brown, grey or while.

The fish get their colour from the food they eat. Colour in shells is strongly affected by'sunlight. Shell-fish living in deep water and beyond the influence of sunlight are while, while those living in shallow pools ornear to the surface of the sea are often brightly coloured.

All this, and more, tjou will learn more thoroughly as you grow older //y /•^'n/^,^^-/'/ you are at all interested in shells. But as a holiday pastime, shell collecting C\jhA&^>is, as Bobby found it, one of the most absorbing and fascinating of all hobbies.Try it next time you are at the beach, boys and eirls. -*•*

FERN LEAF NOTE PAPER.

(Sent In by Margaret Bowmar, AlmslieRoad, Paeroa ; age 14.)

You can decorate notcpaper with realleaf print* very prettily in this way:Collect a number o f rather small per-fect leaves from almost any plants.Choose those which have a striking out-line; fern loaves or clover leaves arevery attractive. You will now requirea little methylated spirits—the clearand not the coloured sort. Pour someof the' cspirita into a saucer, and thenin this place the leaves, allowing themto soak for four or five minutes. Thespii'its have the effect of partly dis-solving the green colouring matter inthe leave.-.

Xovk put out a sheet of paper youwish to decorate and decide how youwish to have the leaf prints. Two orthree in the corner would look smart.Lift the leavets up from the epirit andallow them to drain a little, then restthem carefully on the paper where youwant the print. Xow cover with apiece of blotting paper and rub thiswith the fingere. It must be donethoroughly, so that every part of eachleaf is pressed, and take care that thereis no shifting, else you will have .».

blurred outline. AVhen you lift up theblotting paper, you will find that youhave, perfect prints of the leaves inbright green. The colour will be bright-ened if each print is brushed over witha lii.Ho clear gum.—(Copied.)

CLUB CAPTAIN'S CORNER.

A CARGO OF DREAMS.

(Half-crown prize to Jean M. Clewer, 4,Stepney Place, Wellington; aged 14.)

On towards the setting sun drifted atiny cloud. With fleecy white sailsfurled, the ship of the sky swayed along,sapphire seas bearing her precious cargoof dreams to the haven of nightfall.Mystic, magical dreams, spun of the hap-piness and lovu that glows in the heartsof the immortals, clustered together inthe silver grey hold of the cloud boat.Twilight came, and with it a rolling,rollicking wind. It curled the sails ofthe ship ae it dipped and nodded pastthe evening star. Playfully the twilightbreeze swept up upon the snow whitedecks. The ship lurched, a golden catchfell open and the dreams of the preciouscargo bound for Night soared up intothe air. Ruefully the teasing windcaught at them and secured them oncemore within '.:hc hold.

But some had sleepily drifted away—to the east, to the west, to the north,and to the south.

There was nought but shadows in theworld for the little grey-haired lady whosat beside an empty hearth noddinggently to herself. Old age crept like ashroud about her worn shoulders. Shewas alone with the swift twilight wind.There was love in that old hearth weav-ing fantastic pictures with memory andgolden hair. The little lady in thehearth seat saw again the world as ithad been long ago. before swift wingedsight had fled. Grey doves were cooinggently and resting peacefully in old ivy-coveied caves. Seagulls whirled abovewhite ships-—ships laden with dreams.And again came the tangle of goldenhair, and a youthful, dimpling facesmiled beneath it. The grey head noddedcontentedly, and the little lady dreamt

As the twilight shades fell upon thewest, Hughes Gantani, world-renownedcomposer, sat before his piano. His facewore a perplexed look, one hand ruffledhis dark hair, while the other idly fin-gered the ivory keys. His was a ma&tertouch, but it lacko/l the beauty hesought to give it. ... A wifitful,enchanting melody broke gently in uponthe quietness. Mingling with it camethe echoes of yesterday, the magic ofto-day and the promisee of to-morrow.The artistic fingers of Gantani strayedalong the keys. A river rippled on,white sails dipped and swayed. The.sound swelled. Against grim walls thewaters lapped, the echo crept murmur-ing back, a wind sobbed, and silencecame.

Caressingly the fingers tipped thekeys and a profusion of harmony filledthe room. Inspiration in all its won-drous beauty had come to Hughes Gan-tani.

Lazily a dream uncurled about aragged urchin sitting wretchedly on thejiavemcnt edge. A car sped paet her, andSusan, the waif, sighed. It was a deepsigh, hut it effected a perfect transfor-mation. She smiled. A smile was rarelyto be seen on the face of Susan, theurchin. But now .

graced her neck and tiny golden shoesher feet. She laughed and danced, forpleasure was now hers. Nobles andgreat iadies bowed before her, for powerlay at her finger tips.

Susan opened wide her arms to luxuryand her smile was one of contentment!

A gilded coach jolted past a southernfarm and a white face pressed eagerlyagainst the carriage window. "Oh, tobe you!" came the whisper from betweenthin lips as a milk maid, pausing in herwork, curtseyed to the lady driving by."Gladly would 1 give all this! -' A wearygesture took in all of her unwantedriches. The speaker sank back upon thecushions. But a twinkling second passedand elie had discarded her finery for tliabedraggled robe of a country damseLEven as Susan now revelled in all thatshe held dear, so did the white-faced ladyrejoice in freedom—real, pure freedom!She danced with carefree spirits uponthe grass, her bare feet twinkled overthe ground, and she laughed. The dis-tant cow bplls Bounded to her ae! thepipes of Pan.

The smile of complete happiness re-gained found its place on the pale face.In the east, in the west, in the north,and in the south the dreams nestled;while above, the dream ship had righteditself and was borne gently onwards bythe wind of evening.

VAGABOND TRAIL.(Book prize to Noelle Macdonald, KeppoeH

lyodgo, Howick ; age 17.)

Ding, ding; dong, dong!The great hollow cathedral bells rang

out their call to the citv.A vast congregation was slowly fin-ing the tall pews; a congregation of

men in well-cut dark suits, of women insmart and expensive robes and of child-ren dressed in their Sunday best. Itwas a rich, haughty congregation thatdid not deign to cast a pitying eye onthe ragged tramp who sat at the*mas-sive stone archway. He was only tbeggar.

With a sigh the tramp watched thelast person enter the building. Thensilently he crept up under the shadowof one of the arched windows andlistened. The mighty organ was fillingthe lofty cathedral with throbbingmelody and the vagabond felt the musictug at his heart. For a moment itseemed that he wanted to go up infront of all the rich and worldly faces,to walk solemnly up to the altar andoffer up his soul.

He could hear the choir joining in thetune he used to sing as a boy, and helifted up his rich tenor with the rest.

Suddenly he ceased and with a swiftmovement disappeared. A minutelater a policeman on his beat swungpast the spot unsuspectingly. ...

Let the rich and mighty pray intheir marble cathedral; but give thevagabond a glittering road and a choirof birds, and he, too, worships in hiscathedral of the open trail.

Next morning the two dusty shoeswere pounding the track again and apair of dry lips was humming the oldhymn. The vagabond was offering nphis soul to the radiant sun that sent itsfirst rays along the winding trail.Not for him the city's street,

With rush and traffic loud;But give him the sound of the dusty feet

On the trail that's away from thecrowd.

YELLOW ROSES.(By Phyllis Hughes, "Sunny Brae,"

Feilding; Iβ.)

Yellow roses on the shelf,Mother put you there herself.Plucked you from your garden treeTo lend our parlour gaiety.Yellow roses sweetly fair,Mother plucked and put you there;Where your breath of warm perfume,Can fill our little darkened room.Yellow roses when you dieThere will be no breeze to sigh—There will be no clouds to weep—No earth—thy nutriment to keep.Yellow roses who will mournWhen thy petals reft and torn.Have fallen to the parlour floor.And yellow roses are no more?Yellow roses wet with dew,Would that she who gathered yonCould give thee back thy garden tree,Where death cati never come to thee.

MY PET LAMBS.

(By Jeanne Withers, Tirau, Kotorua Line;age 10.)

To those who have ever kept petlambs,

Aren't they an awful pest?They jump and skip and run aboutWhen mum sits down to rest.They get upon my sister's bed: three

of them in a row,Careering around and baaing and mak-

ing a dreadful row.The gooseberries have all disappeared,Red currants and cabbage, too;But aren't they cwidlesome darlings,In spite of the mischief they do?

ELFIN HILL.

(By Teresa Floyed ; age 11.)

At Elfin Hill on fairy nightsAre seen the most engaging sights;

If children knew I'm sure they'd runTo find that hill and share the fun.

And many an elf with gay balloonThey'd watch ascend to see the moon;

And many mi elf from MoonbeamTown

By gay balloon come twinkling down., And if a fairy passing by,

: Should ask, "Arc you bound for the; sky?"

I'm sure they would disguise them-selves

i And make believe they too were elves.

NIGHT RAIN.(By Shirley Stewart, Meull Street, KMtes*

I can hear it on the house-tops, that pefr-tering soft sound,

Tis the spirits of all dancers that ftx*swirling round and round. tI can hear their swishing dresses as Hbefismoothly, swiftly move,

And their lightly tapping feet ae thejjdance in every groove.

Perhaps it is a Grecian maid, ker Jangrobes softly flapping,

Perhaps a native maiden, -with her Sstxpoquickly tapping;

When you hear the soft rain patting, as&the night wind's gentle sough,Who knows? It may be Pavlova wboWdancing on your roof.

MY GARDEN.(By Colleen Austin, 50, Motmt Albert -Bwri|<

Epsom, 5.8.3; age 10.)

The hollyhock and daisy,Tho snowdrop and lilac, too,

TOPSY-TURVY WORLD.(Sent in by Estelle Chalmers, Gray

If the butterfly courted the bee,And the owl the porcupine;

If churches wefe built iu the sea,And three times one were nine.

If the pony rode his master,If the buttercups ate the cows;

If the cat had the dire disasterTo be worried, sir, by the mouse.

If mamma, sir, sold the baby.To a gipsy for half-a-crown;

If a gentleman, sir, was a lady,The world would be upside dowa.

If any of all these wondersShould ever come about,

I should not consider them blunders,For I should be inside out.

ToNana'sFreinds

Dear Little Ones, —Have you ever seen a fairy

ring? Peter and I did when we wentmushrooming the other morning. Justa little round ring of white mushroomsit was, but I'm sure that was wherethe fairies had danced the night before.

Peter picked them all, and one ofthem was quite white underneath. Itold him it was a toadstool, but hetook no notice of me and put it straightinto his basket. Further on we foundsome yellowy toadstools, and thesePeter refused to pick. They were sopretty, too, like pointed fairy caps.There were othe.rs down in the samehollow that Peter did not see. Thesewere tiny white balls which some day,if they are not picked, will grow intoa puffball bigger perhaps than a foot-IbalL

There are very beautiful toadstools,too, like the great orangy ones withlittle white flecks upon them, knownsometimes as horse mushrooms or flyfungus. Then there are little pink ones,and ones with purple underneath. Verypretty indeed they are and very poison-ous too, as are the puffballs, and, infact, any form of toadstool at all.

So don't go putting toadstools intoyour baskets when out mushrooming,boys and girls, however delightfulthey are to look at.

Love fromNANA.

NOISES IN THE NIGHT.

(By Eileen; McConnlck, Jelllcoe ATeaue,Tnakau.)

During the last Christmae holidays,•while 'staying with a friend, I had avery .amusing experience, though I mustconfess it was frightening at the time.

On the second day or my stay myfriend's parents had to go to Aucklandon business, and they would not be ableto return until the following day. Thatmeant a night alone in a two-storeyedbuilding for Mary and myself. Asneither of us had ever spent a nightalone before, we were rather scared atthe prospect of it, but we made up ourminds not to be frightened, and Mary'smother and father left for the city withtheir minds at rest.

All went perfectly well up to bed-time, and when talking in the darkMary and I found we could even laughat our previous fears. We talked untilwe went to sleep, but our slumberproved very light, however, for abouthalf an hour after we had dozed offMary was pulling my hair, a favouritedevice of hers to awaken me. I wasgoing to tell her to stop, but just as Iopened my mouth she clapped her handover it. "Sh!" she said, "there's a mandownstairs. I heard him pass the door."

By this time I was wide awake, andvisions of armed men, rugged of face andburly of form, flitted through my mind.I .shuddered at the thought, but when Iasked Mary what she intended doing Ishuddered still more, for she said, "Goafter him, of course." Very gingerly I

,got out of bed, donned ' my dressinggown, and took one of the candles wehad brought up to our room, just in casewe should need them.

Each armed with a poker wo steppedinto the corridor and began to tiptoealong it. When we were nearing thefirst corner we heard a slight rustle justround the other side of it. Mary, whowas bravely leading the way, nearlyknocked me over in her endeavour to getback to the shelter of the bedroom.Strange to eay, I "was not as frightenedas I imagined" I should be, so I scoffed,softly at Mary and commenced to leadthe way. Every now and then a rustleor bang could be heard coming from Mr.Jonee' study, where he kept all his valu-ables in a safe. I would have very muchliked to turn back, but when I thoughtof Mr. Jones' valuables I could not.

On arriving at the door of the .etudywe clutched our pokers tightly andcautiously opened the door and slippedinside. We were greeted by a bang frombehind the safe. Ah! so the rascal musthave been trying to open it from theback. Rushing for the switch Maryturned it on and flooded the room withlight. Immediately the sounds ceased,then Mary bracing herself, pointed thepoker at the safe and cried, "Hands up,or I fire." Whether she intended to fireIhe poker at the burglar had he appearedI could not. say, but instead of a big,burly burglar exposing himself therecame a thin, pitiful little "mc-ow, me-ow," from behind the sale. Mary and Ilooked at each other anO then we burstout laughing. Fancy coining all thatway for nothing, other than to chase;the old cat Tommy.

When Mary's parents returned wetold them wo had a fairly good night, aswe thought :t wiser to be quiet aboutour cat-bmglar, as Mr. Jones is anexpert tease.

AT THE END OF TROUBLE'SLANE.

'By Joan Faulkner, Jellicoe Avenue,Tuakan ; age 13.)

The long, hazy twilight of a summer'sevening was gradually merging intopurple dusk as a white-haired old ladywalked slowly down a tree-borderedlane. At the farther end of the lanetwo kauris, taller than the surroundingtrues, were silhouetted against thedarkening evening sky. They stoodthere like two sentinels, straight-limbedand silent, guarding the forbidding irongates of an old English castle.

But when the sweet-faced ladyreached them they were seen to beguarding gates of much softer appear-ance. They were two little white-washed latch gates, swinging invitinglyopen, beneath an archway of trailingvines, and showing a crazy path twin-ing" its fanciful way through a littleold world garden—a garden whichseemed to breathe a message of loveand kindness and good will toward men.But despite the stirring beauty of thegarden one sensed a touch of sadnessthat seemed to pervade it. It was hardto understand why such a feeling cameover one in a beatity spot such as this;but the sweet old soul who wandereddown the paths, caressing the silkvpetals \pf one flower or shedding a soli-tary tear over another—she could tellwhy.

For this was the garden at the endof Trouble's Laße. Life had held itsburdens for the old lady, but when thecrowning trouble had come she had beenalmost unable to bear it. This was thedeparture of her son to a place abroadto make his fortune. She had fretted,but on their last walk together he hadcomforted her by saying,."Why, mother,here is a tiny tree growing. As youwatch it growing, think of it as myfortune becoming larger; then, when itis a full-grown tree I will come backwith ray fortune made."

Accordingly, each day the old ladycarefully tended the tiny tree. Shecalled it Trouble Tree, and then calledthe path to it Trouble's Lane. Whenher next great burden had come she hadconceived the idea of planting anothertrouble tree. So it was—whether thetrouble be big or small it was buried

away with tlie roots of a tiny plant.Since then the troubles had beennumerous, for here was a garden fullof beautiful flowers and shrubs. Asshe walked towards a tree which stoodin the centre of the garden the old ladyspoke to the plants she passed, for shehad acquired the habit, as do mostpeople who spend most of the':r timealone, of talking to Nature's subjects.When she reached the tree she caressedits gnarled trunk and whispered: "Youare my boy's fortune tree. He is coiningto-morrow to see you, tree. But he doesnot know of the other trees and flowersat the end of Trouble's Lane. Won'the be surprised at our secret, tree?"

That night a shower of rain fell, andin the- morning everything was rain-washed and fresh. The old lady wasearly .astir, and after ehc had completedher morning duties she went down thelanp. The final survey of the gardenshowed her that, everything was lookingits best.

The day wore on, and the sun waslong past its zenith before she heardthe click of the latch on the gate. .Shehurried expectantly down the path, andthen gave a sigh of disappointment. Itwas just a telegram for her, brought bythe post office message boy. >She openedit and read listlessly. Then she gave astart and leant against the gate tosteady herself, as she re-read themessage. It was short and simple. Itstated that her son had caught a tropicalfever and bad died on his way home,being buried at sea.

The tears dimmed tho eyes of the oldlady, yet she smiled— a wan little smilethat held a wealth of meaning. Thenshe went down the lane and through thewhite gate to the solitary big tree. Shesat on a rustic scat beneath it, and thetelegram fluttered unheeded to theground as she stared ahead. The daywas waning, as it had done a bare 24hours ago, yet it seemed to the old ladythat a year had passed since then. Thenshe had revelled in the beauty of thetwPight; now she almost hated it. Theworld had seemed a peaceful place then;now she found it full of sorrow. Shebowed her head and sobbed unre-strainedly. .

When she lifted her head the gardenwas bathed in soft, white enhancingmoonlight. Everything was still. Afeeling of peace and repose swept over

her The sorrow and hate had gone, andin "their place v,ere a host of beautifulmemories.

HONEY.

i n.v \V. Joan Beaumont. 1. Fairtmrn RoadOtabuhu, 5.E.7; age 13 years.)

One sunny morning in the year 450A.D., young Ulric the swineherd salliedforth to perform his usual arduous taskof minding the pigs. Commonplacethough his duty was, it had some com-pensations, for could he not listen to thewonderful bird songs while he watchedthe swine? When the bird sang hissoul sang too, and always lie shared hismeagre meal with his feathered friends.Never did the timid deer run from himas they did from other wanderers in theforest.. On this particular morning Ulric was

so enraptured that he was deaf to allelse but his feathered friends. He didnot hear a soft thud, thud, behind him.On lie went, driving his charges beforehim. Little did he dream that someoneelse was be-nt on adventure. However,something seemed to warn him, and,on turning round, lie beheld, to hishorror, a great brown bear making itsway towards him. Terrified, he scuttledup a tree in less time than it takes torelate.

Still, he need not have feared, forBruin seemed intent on some errand ofhis own. Ulric breathlessly watched thebig bear as it moved towards a largetree in which was a deep hole. Thebear, on reaching this tree, raised him-self on his hind legs and dipped one pawdown into tho hollow. After a fewseconds Bruin withdrew it, and, placingit in his mouth, he ravenously suckedhis paw. This performance he repeatedagain and again, and then moved awayin another direction.

Ulric, having assured himself that allwas safe, climbed down the tree in whichho had taken refuge, and decided thathe, too, would like to sample the sub-stance which Bruin appeared to enjoyso. Eathor cautiously at first he dippedhis grubby little hands into the hollowtree, and on withdrawing it found itcovei.ed with a sticky yellow substance.Following the bear's example, and think-ing -hat what was good for beast wasgood for boy, he sucked his fingers withgreat relish. "Uum-um, goody-good,"lie cried. What a delicious meal it was!

When Ulric had had his fill ho wendedhis way home, driving his pigs beforehim. Next morning he again visitedhie wonderful storehouse and regaledhimself with his newly discovered deli-

cacy. A week passed, during which timeUlrte enjoyed his daily feast all by him-self. No one but Bruin and himselfknew of this golden nectar. It wasindeed food for the gods. But alas! thesecret was not to be theirs alone. Oneday Ulrie's father, requiring his eon tobring the swine home earlier than usual,went in search of the"lad. Surprisinghim in the very act of putting a deli-cious morsel into his mouth, the fathercried out: "Jto-ho, young man! Is thishow you mind my pigs for me? Whatie this you are feasting on? What isgood enough for you is good enough forme, I suppose."

So saying, he dipped his hand intothe treasured hoard, and he, too, suckedhis fingers with relish. "Beautiful," saidhe. "Fit for a king. Come, fill yourhorn with it, and to-morrow we willbring our jars. Maybe there are othertrees containing this golden sweet."

Thus did the yellow honey find itsway into the homes of the English, andto this day it has been, and is still con-sidered, a delightful addition to the. mealtable.

THE WRECK

(By Elizabeth Hartnell; age 11.)

"A wreck! A wreck!" These startlingwords, accompanied by the demoniacalshriek of the wind, aroused me from myslumbers. Casting off my sleepiness Irushed to the window and tried to piercetlio impenetrable blackness of the night.My efforts being of no avail, I joined myfamily and we hurried, with all possiblespeed, down the narrow clitf path tothe'bay.

Here a huddled group of neighbourswore gathered, tho women sobbing, themen chafing at their inability to help.Tlio flashes of lightning illuminated thewhite faces of the crowd and revealedthe grim majesty of our surroundings.

The white-capped breakers thunderedin, and, at their highest, crashed uponthe beach, pounding against the longlines of jagged rocks. Ban-en clifl'islooked down on the tragic scene enactedbelow them. Above the boom of the surfwe heard the howl of the gale and themuttering of distant thunder.

A vivid Hash of lightning showed thef\ill pitiful plight of the ship. The greatwaves were breaking completely over herbows and the stern was slowly settlingin tho water. Tiny fingers could be dis-cerned clinging to the side, and ourhearts went out to them.

There was a etir in the crowd and afaint cheer as the lifeboat, \KJth hersturdy crew, was launched. Slowly theStrong steady strokes of the onrs over-came the distance, and when somehundred yards from the ship the life-linewiis flung.

There was now little time to be lost.The storm had abated somewhat, andUi<> moon was flooding the sombre skywith her beams. One by one the survivorscrossc:l the narrow life-line to be re-ceived by willing hands. Even as thecaptain set foot on the beach andturned to watcli with sad eyes the fateof the vessel he had loved, she shudderedfrom stern to bow and sank—anothergallant ship had found its last havenfar beneath, the turbulent waters.

MODELAEROPLANE NOTESandGeneralHobbicraftsTHE "STAR" GALLEON

PART 111.Now we arc ready to start building in

real earnest. This week 1 .am givingyou the plan view.of the hull and alsothe various sections, which give the truelines to your ship. A small sketchwhich shows exactly how to shape thehull by using templates made from No.0 sketch will prove very useful. Nowstudy drawing No. 4 very carefully, asthis "is drawn in two half section style,the upper half showing you where thevarious details are placed and |hebottom half showing the actual shapesyou are to cut your boards. As 1explained before this hull is built upon the bread-and-butter system, and asall the planks are of the 6ame thicknessall you have to do is to freteaw outeach individual plank (or lift board., as1 shall call it from now on), and therough shape of the hull will automati-cally build up. See No. 3 (part 2).

Study Nos. 4 and 5 together. Thelift boards are numbered from the keelupwards. You will require about threefeet of 3in by gin balsa to cut the liftboards from. This will give a bit tospare, but it is better to so do, as youwill be able to go on with your work ifyou happen to make an error. Notethat the bottom two lift boards are theonly ones that go the whole length.As only half sections of the lift boardgapes are given you will first of alltrace the whole of the outline of theline marked 1 (sketch No. 4), and thenfold the copy along the centre (dotted)line and cut the shape out. Onstraightening it out you will have thecorrect shape of your first lift board.There are several ways to transfer thisto the timber. One is to lay it on theboard' and prick right around it with asharp pointed instrument, but the bestway is to lightly stick tiic paper on to

byPropellerthe board and then cut the shape outwith your fretsaw. Kcpeat this pro-cess with each of the lift boards in turn,being very careful to mark them withtheir correct numbers, and also in thecase of lifts 3 and 4 as to whether theyare the fore or aft parts. No. 0 liftis not actually marked as such, but asit is the shape of the top view of theupper part of the drawing you can gotthe shape from this. In order to bequite clear about it, it is that portionof drawing No. 4, being the aft or left-hand section and has a skylight andpinrail drawn on it. With all the liftboards cut to shape you can lightly pinthem together and see the iirst roughshape of your hull come out. (.Seedrawing No. 3, part 2.) Now cementthe hull together, lift board by liftboard, starting, of course, by stickingNo. 2 lift board to the top of No. 1.Smear the top of No. 1 lift board withbalsa cement, place them together andrub them into a firm contact, makingsure that they are fitted exactly at theright place. Place a weight on themand allow to dry for a while. In themeantime you can fit No. 3 and 4 to-gether, both the fore.and the aft sec-tions, and then Nos. 5 and 6. By thistime the first boards will be set and thewhole hull can be gradually built up,using the same process of cementingand weighting the parts.

Now your hull begins to look some-thing like a boat, but so far it is veryrough. A lot of model builders like toskip the next part, and that is the mak-ing of templates to get the correct shape.T would not advise you to finish the hulloff by "eye," but adhere strictly to theseinstructions. It makes all the differ-

ence between a rough amateur job andthe product of a real craftsman. Nowhave a look at sketch No. 5 and don'tbe frightened of it. It looks a little

complicated at first, but it really isn't.The sections shown are what you would

see if you sawed the hull right through;the various points marked A B C Dand E. are the shapes of the sectionsfrom the bow of the ship back and onIhe other side of tLe sketch (No 5),I' G H J are continuations right backto the stern. You must make a halfsection template for each of these, andthe way to do it is thus: Get a pieceof fairly stiff cardboard and draw on iteach section in turn, making the dottedcentre line coincide with one edge ofthe cardboard. Now, with a sharpknife cut out' the part between thedotted line and shape oil the particularsection you are making. Leave plentyof spare cardboard outside, and you willhave a template just like the one shownin the hand in sketch No. 6. ' At thispoint you can start to carve away theprotruding edges of the various lifts,but don't cut it too far. Now makeparticular note of this. At this stageit is necessary to draw straig'ut linesup the sides of the hull and mark themA .'to K respectively. With the excep-tion of A and B they are lin apart.Now, with a very coarse piece of glass-paper proceed to shape up the hull tothe correct section' by using the tem-plates. I usually do ACEG Jinturn, and then go back and do thoothers. You can smooth out the bumpsbetween the actual sections given.Naturally as you work closer to a fitto each template it will be necessary touse smoother glasspaper. When thehull is this far advanced you will noticethat the joints between the lift boardswill act as a guide to "prove" that youhave the sections correct. They shouldmake nice, long sweeping lines withoutundue bumps in them. The hull is nowpractically shaped up and care shouldbe taken at this stage to get a line,smooth finish. A good idea is to makeup some flour and water paste and brushit over the entire hull. This will raisewhiskers on the balsa wood, but willalso penetrate a little and help fill thegrain. Dry it out in a warm oven, nothot, and smooth off lightly with veryfine glasepapcr. Repeat this several timesuntil you are satisfied you have a perfectfinish.I think if you get this done by the

end of tho week you will, or should, besatisfied and be ready to go on with mein part four.

In the meantime don't forget to puta newspaper down on the floor to collectthe chips, or you will both be exceedinglyunpopular with mother for spoiling thecarpet.

A very simple problem.

(By Mary Hay, 10S, Grafton Road,Auckland, CI.)

"Father!""Yes. my dear.""I wonder if you would mind working

out this problem for Alison? I've triedto do it, but it doesn't seem to comeright."

Certain grunts came from behind awall of newspaper, and then a headappeared at one side.

"Why, certainly, my dear, just bringit over here."

Mother brought a well-worn exercisebook and a pencil, while father laid downhis paper and cleaned a place on thelibrary table.

Alison followed her mother with thegreat confidence that her father had allthe brains that were required .

Father read the problem."If a tiger can eat a bullock in four

hours and a bear can eat the samebullock in six hours, and a lion can eatthe bullock in eight hours, and a wolfcan eat the bullock in eleven hours, howlong will it take the wolf to eat thobullock after the lion has been eating fortwo hours, the bear for an hour andtwenty minutes, and the tiger for threequarters of an hour?"

"Well, here goes," said father, Tollingup his sleeves and picking up th« penciL"What a ridiculous sum, anyway. Howcould a tiger eat a bullock in four hours.Such nonsense to give children such pro-blems. Don't you see how ridiculous,the whole thing is V

"It does seem so," said mother, "butafter all it is only a mathematical pro-blem.',

"Of course it is only a problem," saidfather, sharpening the pencil and blowingthe lead off his lingers, "but when I wasyoung we with sense in them,wuch as how many square feet in acertain box, or how many cubic feet ina pile of timber. We never had sums todo with wild animals."

"I tried first to find out how big thebullock was, to get an idea how much atiger could eat in two hours, but I don'tthink I am very good at arithmetic."

"That has nothing to do with it, what-ever, my dear," said father grandly. "Iknow that much."

t

"Well, now we'll eet to work," he saidgetting warmed up to the business onhand. "First, we'll put down sixty andmultiply it by four."

"Why do you do that, father?" askedAlison; "it doesn't say anything aboutsixty in the book."

"My dear, children should be seen andnot heard. I know what I am doing.First we have to reduce the whole thingto minutes before we get to the realbasis oi the question. Kow, please, Alice,will you remain quiet?"

"Now sixty by four gives us two hun-dred and forty, and the two hours equalone hundred and twenty minutes."

"Teacher didn't work it like that,father," Alison interrupted. "She workedit in her head and she didn't say any-thing about minutes."

"Well, my dear, seeing you know sucha lot about it, don't you think you hadbetter leave it to me? There arealways two ways of doing a thing, andit-doesn't make any difference the wayyour teacher did it. Teachers are verywise, but they don't know everything."And father continued majestically: "Thebear can eat the bullock in six hours,which is three hundred and sixtyminutes, the tiger having eaten one-halfof the bullock, there is a half left forthe "bear. Now the bear eats for anhour and twenty minutes, which is onehundred and eighty minutes. So we putdown one hundred and eighty-eightieths.Then comes the tiger."

"Why, one hundred and eighty-eightieths?" inquired mother; "how doesthat help?"

"You'll see when I've finished. Nowthen—where were we? Oh, yes—thetiger." And father went on mumblingto himself. "Now keep quiet, and if Idon't get this out I'll buy you both newhats. Let me see."

"Our leacher never used minutes atall," eaid Alison again; "she said itwas only mental arithmetic, and youought to do it in your head."

"If I'm doing this sum," said father,with much warmth, "I'll do it my way,do you see? And if you don't want itdone my way, do it yourself, and I'llgo back to my paper. I'm not doingthis for fun. I have had a hard day'swork, and I want to have a little rest.I worked these sums before even yourteacher was thought of. and I'll workthem long after she is dead. I'll do itmy own way. The trouble is. you talktoo much, both of you. Now where isthat piece of paper with the boar's eat-ing time on it? Alison, have vou gotit?"

"

.

"I don't think you worked it out,father,', said mother, meekly.

"Of course I did," said father hotly;"where i& it? Where did I put it?"

"Anyway, daddy, I didn't see it. Itwasn't like teacher did it. Teacher—"

"Mother, if you'll send that child tolted perhaps we'll get some light on the-matter of this boar business," he sug-gested. "I can't work problems with adin buzzing in my ears. Alison, go tobed. and in the morning I'll have thisproblem worked out for you and explainit all before ypu go to school. It's timefor you to be in bed—it's nine o'clock."

Alison was rushed off to. bed. stillexclaiming that "Teacher didn't do itthat Avar."

More figures wove jotted down, andmore still, and the hands of the clocktravelled slowly round to ten.

"Father, dear, why. don't you leavethe sum alone? It doesn't matter verymuch. Let us go to bed; you must bevery tired."

Hut father was resolute."I won't leave this until I've finished

it. It's so simple, if only I conld findthose bear figures. All you have to dois to find out how long each animaltakes until you .come to the wolf, andthen you dividP by eleven. Rut you goto bed. dear. I'll come soon."

Twelve o'cock came, and father satdown on the bedroom chair and wearilytook off his boots.

"Did you work it out, father?" motherasked timidly.

"After all the noise stopped it was aseasy as clockwork. How could a !>r>arand a wolf eat the bullock when a lionand tiger were standing round?"

A JOURNAL DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE YOUNG FOLK OF NEW ZEALAND.

School-LifeinCanada

are schools, whatever they are, young people say, and therekJr cannot Ijc lunch difference between one and another. Bat schools in

different parts of the world are as different one from the other as

the countries they represent. Aek a young Hindu, young-old, with thewisdom ho learns in the colourful bazaars; or a small Islander, sittingcross-legged on a woven mat; or a young African learning his lessonsunder the shadow of the jungle. Their school days are not as yours,for a hundred very good reasons! If you could ask a young Canadian,

from the wide, windswept prairies, if his school life were similar to yours,the answer would be an emphatic "No!"

* Although the buildings arc similar to those in many parts of thebackblocks of New Zealand, the climatic conditions make the daily routinevery different. In the winter cold the ink in the inkwells freezes and thefire in the schoolroom is kept burning day and night from Monday to

Friday. The scholars take turne at lighting the fire on Monday mornings,and whoever is on duty has to be very early that dayt. Until the tem-perature of the room has thawed, no lessons can be done, no water drawnor aiiything liquid used at all.

The temperature is often several degrees below zero, and veryfrequently wild, shrieking blizzards imprison both pupils and teacher.The snow falle so thickly, drifting into large banks 60 quickly that itis very easy to become hopelessly lost, even within a short distance ofsafety. It is not so long ago that a teacher and five pupils lost theirlives trying to return home in the teeth of a blizzard. Now, rather thantake an unnecessary risk, teacher and scholars remain all night aroundthe warm, friendly fire until the gale is epent. Next day is, of course,a holiday.

Snow blindness is a dread and painful affliction, and any sense ofdirection at all is impossible in the teeth of a blizzard. Winter is a hard,relentless season for the Canadian prairies. The children start to andfrom school in pitch darkness, and even the smallest is an experiencedwoodsman. Ability to read weather signs is like a sixth sense to them.They have, to be ready and prepared for weather emergencies and knowhow to act.

But it is not always whiter on the prairies. With the lengtheningdays and increasing warmth, the snow melts, gentle rain showers wakenthe prairie daisies, and then comes spring—a truly wonderful season in

Canada. Birds and beasts -which migrated or remain dormant, againmake their appearance, and a thousand gay prairie flowers gleam in thebuffalo grass.

The rabbits and hares, whose coats change to pure white in winter,are once again brown and furry, and little gophers and prairie dogs peepat the children riding by. The most distinctive feature on the prairies isthe great white owl—such a big, fellow. There are noforests and rivers, so it is very rarely that larger game is seen on theprairie.

Holiday time laets three months—practically all the eummer. Thisis the only long holiday the children have, partly to allow the boys to■help on the farms, and partly because the weather is almost unbearablyhot. The sharp contrast between 'winter and summer divides the yearinto two seasons. The teacher, too, may live three or four days' journeyby train away from his home, and a short holiday makee his vacationimpossible.

All the children help in the harvesting, in the intricate process ofpreparing the crops for market. The wheat fields of Canada need nodescription, the miles and miles of softly waving green and gold stretchingacross the prairie as far as the eye can eee. All kinds of grain crops,and not a few root crops, are harvested during the summer. The Canadianchild is a very capable young person.

It is during the holidays that the children indulge in sports—footballand baseball for the boys and basketball for the girls. Skating andski-ing, luxury sports to us, are an everyday, matter-of-fact mode oftransport to them. Tennis., hockey and swimming are more popular inthe towns than in the prairies. '

Once a year, Christmas time, comes their long-looked-for party. Longbefore the appointed hour on a cold, clear night, bright lights bobbingup and down, and tinkling sleigh bells herald the approach of therevellers. Then just at the right moment Santa Claus arrives, and hissleigh belle tinkle sweeter than the rest. He really begins the party.There is dancing ana games, and, of course, singing. Everybody joinsin "Auld Lang Syne." Then out of a well-filled sack comes a. gift forall, and so with a real story book Christmas the school year ends on theCanadian prairies.

PARISOP all cities of the world, the gay capital of Franceis probably first favourite "as a holiday town.Travellers from all parts of Europe, from the

British Isles, from the United States, and, indeed,from every part of the globe, seem to make a pointof spending some time, however short, in Paris.Indeed, it has been eaid that if one only sat .longenough at one of the little cafe tables out on thefootpath of the Place de I'Opera there, one would seeevery nation in the world pass by.

A3 wo emerge from the railway station after ourtrip from Switzerland, we look round for a taxi totake us to our hotel. Very soon we take our eeats,and the driver lets in his clutch with a mighty jerk,vnd we ars off like the wind. No grass grows underthe tyres of the Paris taxi cab! As our chauffeursweeps round the first corner, our hearts are in ourmouths, for he appears to be taking the wrong eideof the road. There's a tram ahead, and another taxi,and .

.. We shut our yes, and wait for the worst;

but nothing happens, and as we open them again werealise that, after all, the right side of the road is thecorrect side of the road—except in our funny oldBritish Empire.

Paris is the third city of the■world in point of size. It has apopulation of eome three millionpeople, and yet, since it is notreally a great manufacturing city,it is not clouded with smokeand fog in the same waythat many other cities are. Frommany points one can get wonderfullyclear views across mile after mileof massive biiildings, from amongwhich rise the domes and towers ofmany churches, and the delicateslendernese of the Eiffel Tower o rer-tops them all. And through cheheart. of it all. the beautiful EiverSeine winds its way, spanned by overthirty bridges.

Many parts of Paris carry withthem memories of-dark days in thehistory of France." One of the greatestof the open spaces in the city is thePlace de la Concorde, where, duringthe JJeign of Terror, the guillotineetood, and where Marie Antoinetteand hundreds more were beheaded.Near it is the small "Place of FiveStones," where the foundations of aguillotine are still to be seen. Fromthe Place de la Concorde, the mostbeautiful street in Paris, the ChampsElysees, leads up a gentle rise, be-tween rows of fine business buildings,to the world-famous Arc de Triomphe,

built by Napoleon the First as amonument to the victories of theFrench Army. Through this arch, atthe close of the Great War, rode theleaders of the Allied forces, headedby Marshal Joffre, with a guard ofcrippled soldiers.

Just under the Arc de Triompheto-day is a grave which is honouredby the whole nation. Here lies thebody of France's Unknown Soldier,and over him burns a flame whichis never allowed to go out.

In the very heart of the mostancient portion of Paris, on a smallisland in the Seine, stands the greystone cathedral of Notre Dame, fam-ous as the abode of the Hunchbackof Dumas' novel, as well as for itshistorical associations. It ie a beau-tiful building, rich with delicatelycarved i stone, and with windows ofwonderful stained glass dating fromthe fifteenth century. And juet out-side the cathedral is a litile bronzedisc let into the pavement. It israther fun to stand on this, for itis the centre of the capital, fromwhich all distances in France aremeasured.

Speaking of churches, however,, itis worth our while to visit theSainte Chapelle, a wonderfullybeautiful church built by the saintlyKing Louis IX. to enshrine preciousrelics brought by him from the HolyLand. In this building, so greatis the extent of tho splendid stainedwindows that there seems hardlyany stone between them.

There are ecores of interestingsights to see in and around Paris,but we must leave them for thepresent; so let us'find a quiet hotelwhere "English is spoken," andretire to a well-earned rest.

World News in Storv and Picture.

LONELIEST PEOPLE IN WORLD.One hundred and sixty of the lone-

liest people in the world are eagerlyawaiting the arrival of the linerEmpress of Australia, which leftEurope early in February on a cruise.She carries three packages of giftsfrom the King and Queen to theinhabitants of the Tristan da Cunha.The South Atlantic island is soremote that it is seldom visited byany ship. Vessels call there, aboutonce a year, and that is the island'sonly link with the outside world.

Except for the chaplain, who comesfrom England, and one or two fami-lies who emigrated many years agofrom South Africa, all the islandersare descendants of a corporal and hiswife, who were left behind at theirown request when the British garri-son was withdrawn in 1810. Theisland is largely barren, and the littlecommunity very poor. Several timesthey have had gifts from the Royalfamily. Last time a ship visitedTristan da Cunha the King sent setsof new oars for the island boats, andthe Queen a butter churn. Anothertreasured communal possession ie theharmonium which the Queen gave in1929—but only the chaplain knowshow to play it.

WHALE OIL WEALTH.The cable services have recently

told us that those enterprising people,the Japanese, intend to invade thegreat whaling industry which hasbeen built up in the Antarctic, southof New Zealand and Australia.Hitherto exploited almost entirely byNorwegians, with a email sprinklingof British vessels, this vast area—next to the Pacific, the world'slargest expanse of water, and with-out doubt one of its wildest—hasyielded its annual toll of whale oilfor the hunters. The whale, largestliving creature on the earth, hasbeen hunted with euch utter lack ofdiscrimination for years past thatthe more profitable species—thehumpback whale, 'and other varie-ties—are rapidly disappearing fromthe seas.

Restrictions" are now in force, andare adhered to rigorously by thehunters in their own interests, toprevent the killing of female whalessuckling calvee. That is one of themysteries of the deep—whales, likecows, suckle their young. And theyoung arc accordingly called calves.Their mothers do not in any wayresemble the grossly mis-shapen sea-cows of other waters, which are onlysome 20ft or eo in length.

The whaling industry in theAntarctic in 1930 yielded oil wealthto the extent of some £1,400,000, andin the following year the sum was

about £3,500,000. In 1932 it wasabout £1,000,000, of which Norwegianships had collected £750,000 worth.June of last year marked the entryof Japan into the whaling fields, withthe purchase of a Norwegian "fac-tory-ship" and four "chaser" vesselsfor a total of £50,000. They wereset to work immediately and havejust passed Fremantle on their wayhome to Japan,reporting a wonderfuldegree of success.

DISCOVERY OF PEPYS' DIARIES.

The discovery of two new Pepysdiaries in the Pepys' library of Mag-dalene College, Cambridge, maynecessitate the rewriting of history.

Both diaries are written, in long-hand. One deals with Charles ll.'sinvestigation of the Navy Officewhen Samuel Pepys was entrustedwith its defence, and reveals his dailyconferences with the King. Theother concerns the days of the TitusOates plot.

The historical importance of thediscovery lies in j the fact that thediaries show- that England was domi-nated by political intrigue and cor-ruption, and the use of methodssimilar to those of ' the Chicagogangsters is established beyonddoubt.

Entries of minor importance revealthat Pepys was twice robbed byhighwaymen, mobbed as a Papistand received a tame lion from Msadmirers.

THE RETIREMENT OF HOBBS.

The announcement from Englandthat Jack Hobbs has decided to retirefrom big, cricket serves to show thatgreat athletes came and go. Theyhave their' time of greatness, and.when they grow old it is necessaryfor them to step aside to make room,

for younger players, for in all sportsit ie the young men who are thebest. Hobbs has been connected withbig cricket for thirty years, and formuch of that time he was England'sbest batsman. He has played inTest matches in both England, andAustralia, and at his best he wasregarded as the greatest batsman in.the world. He made 12 centuries inTest match cricket, which is a record.Hobbs always played the game forthe game's sake, and that is whatevery boy should do when he playsthis great summer game.

GUARDING THE EIFFEL TOWER.A ludicrous suggestion comes from.

Parie that the famous Eiffel Tower,a picture of which appears on theopposite page, be, in future, closelyguarded.

This arises from the somewhatamazing robbery enacted in that cityrecently, when enterprising burglarsstole a three-cornered house, threeiron sheds and a 6ft fence.

The famous Eiffel Tower waserected by Gustave Eiffel for theParis Exhibition in 1889, at a costof about £280,000. ■

PEWTER CRAFT FOR BOYS.HOW TO MAKE A METAL BROOCH

ARTICLE 11.

In pewter work as in most othercrafts it is as well to commence withsomething simple and thus avoid therisk of failure and disapointment.Perhaps the best beginning is witha brooch. Metal bases for these withpin and fastening can be obtainedfrom dealere in tools and metals.Having procured a suitable base andchosen a sheet of thin pewter, we cancommence operations. A pewterbrooch pure and simple, with noother adornment, is apt to he some-what uninteresting; at any rate itlacks the charm which is given ifyour brooch is decorated with a smallcoloured stone.

Assuming that we have a suitablestone in addition to the materialspreviously mentioned, we must decidewhere to place it. Generally thecentre is the most suitable position,though this depends to some extentupon the nature of the design. It is

a good plan to fix the stone to themetal back with aecootine, as itfacilitates future work and preventsit from flipping. Lay the metalbase or brooch back upon a thinsheet of pewter, and draw a linearound the outside. Allow ortjin all round for turning under. Now,with the shears or a pair of scissorscut the pewter to shape. An open-ing must next be arranged for, inorder to display the stone. Lay thestone on the pewter in the positionit is intended to occupy, and markround the outside. This time, how-ever, we shall need to cut out aehape somewhat smaller than thestone itself, in order that it may bekept in position by the overlappingmargin. It now remains to cut thedesired opening.

If a frame and fret eaw are avail-able, the procedure is as follows:Drill a hole somewhere near the lineto be cut, but inside the line ratherthan upon it, or it may break thecontinuity of the shape. Take theframe and fasten a saw into itslower jaw, making it quite secure bytightening the thumb screw. Thesaw, which is very fine and muchlike a rectangular wire with teeth;must be correctly set in the frame.The teeth should face outwards awayfrom the frame, and also downwards,60 that the downward stroke may be

the cutting stroke. To determine theset of the saw, run the thumb lightlyalong the teeth and it will be foundthat in one direction it feels com-paratively smooth, while in the otherthere is a decided "bite," which isenough to cut the flesh if the thumbis pressed too heavily. Place the sawin the frame with the smooth eet ofthe teeth upwards and the "bite"downwards. Pass the thin bladethrough the hole in the pewter, bendthe frame by pressing the top againstthe bench, and while the frame isthus contracted, screw the upper endof the blade in the top grip. Whentaken from the bench, the frameexpands or springs back into posi-tion, holding the saw in tension. Itmust be quite taut, or it will bendwhen cutting commences, and in allprobability it will snap.

The actual cutting or frettingrequires care and a little practice.It ia a. good plan to practice upona spare piece of metal before start-ing upon any important work. Fur-ther, the pewter requires adequatesupport while the cutting is in pro-gress, or it will slip and break thesaw. For this purpose a strip ofwood with a V-shaped space sawnfrom one end is useful. The taper-ing out enables us to move the metalforward or backward, so that it mayrest upon both sides of the support,however small may be the work.(Fig. 1.) While the ratting is inprogress, the saw must be kept quitevertical, as the tightly-strung bladeof highly-tempered steel is easilysnapped. It should be worked quicklyand. firmly up and down until it canbe felt cutting. If it sticks, don'ttry to force it, but move it gentlyabout until it is free again, andremember that the cutting is doneentirely by the down stroke. A littlepractice soon enables us to cut alonga line quite comfortably, though itis wise at first to keep just a shade

inside the line, and to true it up withfiles or a sharp pen-knife later on.If a saw is not amongst the equip-ment, the aperture may be cut witha sharp-pointed pen-knife, but onlyif our" metal is thin; . Having piercedthe pewter and trimmed up the edgesof the aperture with files and pen-knife, it ie ready for decoration.

It is a good plan to make one ortwo sketches upon paper in order tothink out a pleasing arrangementbefore starting upon the metal. Thefirst attempt should be some arrange-ment which can easily be obtained bymeans of the punches previously men-tioned. We have seen what these arecapable of by earlier experiments,

and a combination of bosses obtainedtherefrom will provide decorationsuitable for our purpose. With asoft pencil sketch a few guide-linesupon the reverse side of the pewter.,and lay it face downwards upon apad of felt.

Now press the punches firmly uponthe spots indicated for them by thepencil marks. For thin metal it ispossible to exercise sufficient pressurewith the hands alone, but for thickermetal a repousse hammer will berequired. See that the punch is heldvertically in order that the impres-sion may be true and even. Themethod of holding the tool when thehammer is used is shown in Fig. 2..Turn the pewter over and it will l>eseen that the depressions on theunderside have produced hosees cor-responding in shape with the punchesupon the right side. While this workis in progress, the stone has beenfixed to the metal back. Lay thepewter in position, with the aper-ture correctly placed over the stone,and bend it over the edge of themetal. Burnish the edge over withthe steel modeller, and file down anyridges which occur, so that it maylie flat (Fig. 3.) It only remains topolish and oxidise if desired, and thework is finished.

Priscilla Lays a GhostV3I . ' "~

(Continued.)

Hilary (irrepressibly): I only hopeit won't take us by the throat! Isuppose, Joan, there's no chance ofit being a—er —violent kind of spook.

Joan: My dear girl, how can Itell?

Rhoda (nervously): Do—do youthink it's likely to be? Just whator who is it supposed to be?

Joan: I don't know—that's justthe fascinating part of it.

Rhoda: Fascinating?

Joan: No two people seem to havehad the same experience; one womansaid she saw something moving aboutwith a shaded light,, but when sheopened the door there was nobodythere! And old Tom Green, from theHill Farm, said he saw a great blackdog dash out of the mill and simplyvanish into the ground in front ofhim!

Rhoda: "VVell I only hope we shan'tsee him—that's all!

Joan: I'm sure I hope we shall seesomething, after all our trouble!

Hilary: I don't pin much faith toold Tom's stores anyway, Rhoda, eoI wouldn't be bothering about thatpart! Remember it was market daywhen he says he saw it, and he wasprobably hi a condition to think hesaw anything!

Joan (with dignity): Hilary, youhave a vulgar mind. Do sit down andlet me finish about the form ofaddress! (They sit.) And don't keepinterrupting.

Hilary (cheerfully): Right-o! ShallI interrupt if I see the mouseapproaching?

Rhoda: What society?Joan: There you go! The Psy-

chical Society, of course!Rhoda: Well, I like to understand

things as I go along, and I don't seewhat cycling has to do with ghosts,anyway.

Hilary (rocking with laughter):Psychical, not cycling, you idiot!Oil, Rhoda, you are an owl! Ithought that was Priscilla's stunt!And, by the way, we never discoveredwhat had become of her.

Joan (rising): I'd entirely forgot-ten her again! One's so used to find-ing her tucked away in a corner witha book You don't think she'sgo7ie homo ?

Hilary: She might. She might haveforgotten why she came out, and sogone back again!

Rhoda: She did that one day. Hermother asked her to buy some but-tons for her, and she got right insidethe shop, and then absolutely couldn'tremember what she wanted! Shelooked all round, and tbe man kept,suggesting things it might be, but ofcourse it didn't help a bit, becauseshe'd walked into the grocer's insteadof the linen draper's!

Joan: Oh, Rhoda, isn't she ascream? Hush (Breaks off,listening.)

Hilary and Rhoda: What is it?Joan (crosses to R.F.): Someone

coming!' Can't you hear? And wedon't even know how to address

Joan: I suppose you mean you fellin the brook; but (Crosses toL.F.)

Priscilla: Well, didn't I say so?(Takes off her coat and shakes it.)If anybody had a towel I should likeit.

Hilary (giggling): I believe shethinks she's been bathing! We , leftall our towels in, the machine,Priseilla.

■ Ehocla: I said she'd fall into thestream! However did you do it,Priscilla?

Priscilla: Head foremost. I shouldthink you could see! I was thinkingout an ode to the Duke of Welling-ton, and I'd just got stuck, thinkingof a rhyme to Talavcra, and the nextthing I knew there I wae in thebrook—wetting souk! It was quite

the nastiest and most unexpectedpromenade I've ever had! (Shakesherself again.)

Hilary (rolling with laughter): Oh,Priscilla, you'll finish me! What aloss for the Duke of Wellington!And I'm sure you don't mean pro-menade—a promenade's a walk.

Priscilla:. Well, I walked—into thestream. I ought to know!

Joan: You're shaking yourself allover everything! And I supposeyou've forgotten that wo are here tohunt clown and lay a spectre, notlaugh at Priscilla's carelessness.

Priscilla (indignantly interrupting):I'm sure I'm not laughing! I'mmuch too upset! You don't seem torealise what a great system it's' beento my shock!

Priscilla (weakly): Oh, don't! Ican't laugh any more!

Joan (severely). I'm sure I hopeyou can't!

Priscilla: And I don't see why youshould, when I've not said anythingfunny!

Hilary: Why, you've done nothingbut say something funny ever sinceyou came in!

Rhoda: And you can't think howfunny you look.

Hilary: I don't believe even a'full-sized ghost could put the wind upme now. I feel so hilarious I believeI should just say "Carry on, oldbean!" to the apparition of Henrythe Eighth himself if he blew in!

Priscilla: But is he likely to? Isthere a ghost here-?

Joan (resignedly): We don't know—we come to look for one. . But Ishould think (severely) if there wasone it would have been frightenedoff—with your appearance andHilary's disgusting slang.

Priscilla: Of course. I remember!The mill's supposed to be haunted.We were going to try to find theGhost. I'd forgotten. I thought wewere going mushrooming. But, lookhere. If you've been here some time,and it hasn't appeared, perhaps thisis the wrong time, or the wrong millof the part.

CHILDREN OF TANEUSES OF SEAWEEDS.By L. M. CRANWELL, M.A.,

Botanist, Auckland Museum.

TN Hawaii, if we went a marketing,J[ we could buy flying fish for

dinner, and with each bundle wewould be given a sprig of fragrantseaweed, just as parsley is givenhere. In Southern Wales the fish-wives still cry their produce in thestreets, and on certain clays laverbread, sprinkled with oatmeal, is forsale. Laver, prepared from a seaweedas thin and tough as oil-silk, isusually eaten with bacon or roastmutton, but, like so many of the redseaweeds, it may be served in milk.A closely related species is grown inJapan, mainly for sale in China. Oneday I went into a shop in GreyAvenue, looking for this delicacy, butit was no longer obtainable. Allgood Chinamen, they said solemnly,

were boycotting Japanese goods; butthey could offer coarse, yard-longstripe of brown weed from Shanghai,wee dried mushrooms, and even thesparkling birds' nest soup materialfrom the vaulted caves of Sarawak.These dishes seem quaint to us, butthe fact remains that seaweed atleast is eaten along every coastlinein the world. The Hawaiians, forinstance, kept their splendid physiqueover centuries of isolation withoutmilk, grain or ordinary meat, butsimply with a diet of tafo, fish (whenobtainable) and seaweed, or limu, asthey called it.I do not claim that it is a great

food. Like lettuce, it is regardedmore as a relish, and, of course, ithas considerable medicinal value. AsI said before, the coastal Maoris were

free from goitre, while inland thegreat "tonga," like a bird's crop, dis-figured many "women. A few yearsago I saw a young girl near Ruata-Inina so cruelly afflicted that shecould barely gasp out a few words.Such oases, one hopes, are treatedwith iodine, once obtained solelyfrom seaweeds. Nowadays most ofthe world's supply is derived fromthe Chilian saltpetre deposits. Japanis again the exception. She ignoresthe Chilian monopoly and thriftilyprepares all the iodine she needs fromher own brown seaweeds.

It is useless to try to eat any andevery seaweed. Some are nauseating,and only a small proportion is' reallyrich in iodine. These are the lami-narians, one of which I figured lastweek. With some the scent, keenand fresh, can be detected before youreach the tide at all.

Before seaweeds became eo im-portant as a source of iodine, theywere used chiefly as potash fertiliserson the coasts of France and theBritish Isles. On the bleak ice-sweptshores of Scandinavia they helpedto form enough soil to grow a fewhandfula of grain. Seaweeds rotquickly, keeping the soil moist; theyare free from weed seeds (theywouldn't spread ragwort!), and theynre rapid in their action. They wereapplied in great loads (25 to 30 tonsto the aero) to crops of early pota-toes,, mangels, lucerne and variouscrucifers. Of course, the cost "ofcartage prohibited their being takenfar from the sea.

By ISOO seaweeds were being ex-ploited for the commercial produc-tion of potash and sodium carbonate(for soap-making), and soon the lawhad to step in to protect the farmerson some shores. All this meantwealth to the Western Isles of Scot-land, where yearly about 20,000 tonsof*kelp ash were sold at from £10to £20 per ton. With the repeal ofduties on salt and barilla (obtainedfrom a samphire or glaeswort (Sali-cornia, in Spain), the soap-makersdeserted, leaving landowner andpeasant to suffer alike. After a lullkelp was again burnt, this time asthe only commercial source of iixline,but prices fell heavily wllcii thepotassium deposits in Stassfurtwere opened. However, the industrywent on from 1841 to 1875, when theChilian deposits captured the mar-kets. This was the real death blow.

A bald recital such as thie doesnot give more than a hint of whatseaweeds have meant in the lives ofthe proud people of these wild,coasts. It was my friend, the lateRev. Angus Macdonald, telling meof life in Stornoway, that made mesee the picture as a fight for pros-perity always challenged by dis-coveries in the outer world. Heshowed me more, that a man mightlive half a world away, yet histhoughts, would ever be roving backto his childhood, and that he woulddie with the taste of the sea tanglesstill sweet on his lips.

INTRODUCED ANIMALS.THE STARLING.

By E. G. TURBOTT.

HAVING made a new departure indescribing the common fieldcricket, not a native animal, but

introduced, I must make clear thedifference between two classes of ourcountry's present fauna (animals).This will lead to inquiry concerningtown birds, which are not for themost part natives of New Zealand.They are sparrows, starlings and soon, not tuis and bell birds.

All our animals may be put underone of two headings—tliey are either"native" or "introduced." The nativeanimals were here when Europeansfirst came to New Zealand, but, fol-lowing the lead of Captain Cook,white people have been introducinganimals ever since. Thus we have alarge number of introduced animals."In all centres of settlement theanimal life is almost as much dueto foreign immigration as the peopleare; but observers cannot tell thisfact without some assistance, andone of the difficulties with which allembryo naturalists are met is toknow which plants and animals arcnative and which are introduced."—(Hon. G. M. Thomson.) If the nativebirds could have changed their habitsquickly they would now be perchingon our house-tops. This they couldnot do, in most cases, but slung tothe last of their old haunts, leavingan empty place which was not longleft iznfiiled.

In other countries the same tilinghappened. In Australia: "The spar-row, the myna, and other town birdsare eo common that few people takenotice of them. This is a mistake.The birds of the town that havebeen living about the f°et of manfor many centuries are worth watch-ing. . . Apart, too, from the interestof the study, every fact, even the

smallest, that is ascertained aboutthese creatures that share our livesso closely is important . . . Thebirds, besides killing insects, makeour homes more interesting and home-like."

The Active Starling.The starling is a native of Europe

and the adjoining lands of NorthernAfrica and South-west Asia. Nowa-days its distribution is very wide,the same story of its introductionbeing- told from America, Australiaand New Zealand.

There are many fascinating pointsabout the starling, and as it doesmore good than harm if present inreasonably email numbers, we canfind opportunities to appreciate itwith an easy conscience. Starlingslove to collect in flocks, and it is asplendid sight to see them racingwith the wind, then wheeling, risingor descending, the whole flock ofhundreds like a single bird. A. H.Chisholm in one of his delightfulbooks on birds in Australia, describesthis: "... a flock of English star-lings swept down the horizon on thewings of a high wind. 'Gee!'exclaimed an envious boy; 'they cantravel at a pace! ,

"'lt's all very well, for them,' camesmartly from a curly-haired girl.'They haven't any hats to hold on!'"

The starling is black, and mustnot be confused with the blackbird,who never unites in flocks with hisfellows. The starling is smaller, witha much shorter tail and a glossy coatwith metallic bronze, green andpurple reflections. During the winterthe feathers have whitish tips, giv-ing the bird a spotted appearance.This plumage gives place to theburnished feathers before the breed-ing season. Young starlings have adifferent colouring again. They arebrown, and are chiefly remarkablefor the amount of noise which theycan produce. The bill of the old birdsis yellow, much lighter and morestraw-coloured than the cock black-bird's, but in winter this yellowcolour has changed, until it is quiteblackish. The feet are dark brown.

There can be no doubt that star-lings are doing very valuable workfor us when they destroy huge num-bers of insects which would otherwisemake ehort work of our crops. Onthe other hand, starlings are nowvery numerous, and have an appe-tite for fruit. Tims the bird ie notliked bv orchardists.

We watch a starling flock at workin a field. The wary birds are quickto obey their sentinels. We imaginethat their eyes do not miss much.They do not hop, but run along theground, although very occasionallyone may be seen hopping up theroof of a house. Again we watch thestarlings at nightfall. They haveioosting-places where thousandsspend the night together. In theearly stages, so it seems from thenoise, they are all pushing for moreroom. You may have watched themflying out to their favourite islandat New Plymouth in long, trailingflocks. Clumps of tall kahikateas,or pines, suit also, and other islandsare crowded at various points ulongthe- coast.

of the country.

LESSONS IN LIFE-SAVING

ARTICLE IV.

Continuing our notes on life-savingcommenced in last week's issue, wemust now consider the case wherethe drowning person has sunk to thebottom and lias not appeared on the6urfaec again. Bubbles may rise tothe surface giving some indication ofthe position of the body. In still

water the bubbles rise perpendicu-larly; in running water they riseobliquely, so that the rescuer mustlook for his object higher up theetream than where the bubbles.appear. Remember also that in run-ning water a body will be carriedalong, and must be looked for in astraight line in the direction in whichthe current is running. But therescuer should waste no time beforeattempting to find the body. Onreaching the drowning person whohas sunk to the bottom, seize himby the head or shoulders, place theleft foot on the gTound and the right

A Trainer Speaks onRescue-Work

knee in the small of his back; thengive a vigorous push and swim tothe surface by the back stroke.■ Reecuers must at all times begoverned by circumstances, usingtheir judgment ae to which methodthey will adopt in conveying thedrowning person to shore, alwaystaking care to avoid wasting their

strength, hopelessly against'an adversetide or stream; rather float with it,gradually making for shore some-what across the direction of the cur-rent until a boat or other aid mayarrive.

Methods of Rescue.There are five practical methods of

carrying a person in the water; andthose who arc ignorant of what todo in cases of emergency can, in thecourse of ten or twelve lessons,become thoroughly proficient and ableto render valuable aid in saving lifewithout risk or danger to them-selves. General points concerning themethods are as follow:—

When the drowning person is notstruggling, turn him on his back,

place your hands one on each eide ofhis face, so tliat the palme of thehands cover his ears. Then lie onyour back, hold him in front of you,and swim with the backstroke, tak-ing care to keep his face above thewater. (This was illustrated lastweek in diagram 1.)

If the drowning person is heavilybuilt and, in the frenzy of distress,seeme capable of overcoming therescuer, it may be advisable to treadwater just out of reach beforeattempting to secure a rescue gripuntil some exhaustion has lessenedsuch energy. Care must be taken,howerer, that a sudden deep immer-sion of the one in danger does notmake the rescue more difficult anddangerous for the rescuer.

The Arm Grip.

In case of struggling, which rendersthe drowning person difficult tomanage, turn him on his back asbefore and take a firm hold of hisarms just above the elbows. Drawhis arms upwards at right angles tohis body and swim with the back-stroke!. This hold will put the drown-ing person under the control of therescuer and prevent him from turn-ing round, clutching, or even strug-gling much. (This was illustrated indiagram 2.)

If tlie arme be difficult to grasp,slip your hands under the armpitsof the drowning person and placethem on his chest, and 'with yourown arms raise his arms at rightangles to his body; then lie on yourback and swim with the backstroke.(Illustrated in diagram 3.)

To render assistance to a swimmerattacked by cramp, or exhausted, aswell as to those in danger of drown-ing who may be obedient and remainquiet, the person assisted must placehis hands on the rescuer's shoulderselose to the neck, with his arms atfull stretch, and lie on his back per-fectly still, with the head held wellback. The rescuer being uppermost,and having arms and legs free, swimswith the breaststroke. This is by farthe easiest method, and without un-due exertion a person can be carrieda much longer distance than by anyother method. (Illustrated in dia-gram 4.)

For, Overarm Swimmers.Another method of rescuing a per-

son when passive is to hold him withone arm placed over one of hisshoulders, with your hand eitherUnder the opposite armpit, or holdinghim by his clothes, thus leaving yourother arm free with which to propelyourself. This method will be usefulto overarm swimmers as well as tobackstroke swimmers, for althoughthe rescuer may be partially on hisback, he will be able to use citherthe overarm or the backstroke kick.In order that the rcecuer shall notbe obliged to reverse his • stroke, he'should make use of his usual over-arm for the purpose of holding thedrowning person. (Diagram 5.)

Methods of Release.The following, are two of three

methods recommended for effectingrelease from the clutch of a drown-ing person: —

If the rescuer be heid by thewrists, he must straighten botharms, bring them down together andat his hip level simultaneously forcethem against the drowning person'sthumbs as he brings his arms atangles to his own body, thus dis-locating the thumbs of the drowningperson if the clutch has not beenbroken previously. (Diagram 6.)

If clutched round the neck, he musttake a deep breath and lean well overthe drowning person. At the sametime ho should place one hand inthe email part of his opponent's back,raise the other arm in line with the

shoulder, and, passing it over thedrowning person's arm, pinch thenostrils close with the fingers; thenwith the palm of this hand on thechin pueh away downwards with allpossible force. The holding of thenose will make the drowning personopen his mouth for breathing, butsince lie is under water choking willensue, his grip will relax and therescuer will gain complete control.(Diagram 7.)

In botli these methods, the rescuershould, immediately after release,turn the patient to the "carry"position.

Many a gallant life has been lostin the attempt to rescue a fellowcreature through ignorance of thesefcimple methods. All that is necessaryis careful study and frequent prac-tice in the water. If this be properlydone, even a moderate 6wimmer canfearlessly go to the aid of thedrowning.

The Story So Far.

Peter Handley, Phillip Joyce andVictor Standish were on" jii a motorcycling- holiday, when Vic's cycle breaksdown. The Ijoys, unable to repair thedamage, begin wheeling the machinestowards the town. On the way, how-ever, they see a shed, and, taking- It totoe some kind or workshop, Phillip goeson* to ask lor assistance. He comestoack In breathless excitement, and callsthe boys to investigate. Inside tlio shedthey Unci a weird contraption something ,like a stratosphere balloon. It has beenbuilt by Professor Slater, who to-dayintends to commence a voyage into thestratosphere. The boys climb Into theballoon, and Phillip curiously lingers alittle gadget. Immediately there is alow hissing noise and the balloon rises,pushing the shed above It, just as Pro-fessor Slater and his two friends, Pro-fessor Marsdcn and Dr. Harrison, enter

*ne Held.

CHAPTER ll.—Continued.,

The stratosphere balloon wasgoing lip!

As they watched, it was alreadyilOft or 50ft in the air, and the woodand canvas of the shed had fallenfrom the balloon back to the ground.

Professor Slater stood horrified aslie -watched. He was unable to saysi word, although his lips trembled.

"Stop!" Involuntarily Professor3ffarsdcn lifted up his hand andehouted to whoever might be in theballoon.

Then the three men on the groundSiad another moment of breathlesshorror.

Not far from the hangar—or whathad been the hangar—was anenormous radio mast, almost 1000ftin height.

Caught by tho wind, the balloon,bbviously out of control, was carriedswiftly towards the mast, spinninground like a top ae it did so.

"Good gracious!" shouted Slater,■who had now recovered his speech,"It's going to hit . . . it's going tohit . . . it'll be smashed like anPES '"

He buried his face in his hands.

CHAPTER Ilf.Hurtling Into Space.

Inside the balloon itself there werejfchree terrified and unwilling pas-feengcrs.

It was the idle curiosity of Phillipthat had landed them in this aston-ishing predicament.

He had touched the ascending valve,and Peter, having become thoroughlyalarmed by the continued hissing,;wae about "to get out, insisting thatthe others should do so, when thefcalloon had suddenly gone up.

Actually he had his hand, on thecabin door when the Aeronauticusbegan to rise.

Then it was too late.The excitement of the professor

and his companions below had beenclearly observed by the three men..

Vic was pale with fright. It waslie who saw the radio mast andshouted to the others.

None of them knew anything aboutthe balloon, and Peter looked-roundthe cabin for eome kind of controlwheel or lever—something that wouldenable them quickly to avoid thohuge steel pylon. But he could seenothing that he understood.

In desperation he yelled out, "Hurlyourselves against this side. Quick—as hard as you can."

Not knowing why they did it, theothers obeyed.

The balloon stopped spinning andbegan to bump its way slightly tothe left. Peter's sudden idea hadbeen an inspiration, and, for themoment, they were safe.

They drew a deep breath of reliefas they glided past the pylon, whichwas now so near that they couldalmost have touched it with theirhands.

The balloon was rising steadily,and with anxious faces the trio lookeddown at the receding earth. Nolonger could they make out thefigures of the three men; houses andbuildings were assuming minute size.

Realising that if they were to getdown again, something would have tobe dono quickly, Peter and liis com-panions made another survey of thecontents of the cabin. But it wasall such a fearful jumble. Not oneof them could make head or tail ofit.

There were several levers in line,but nothing to indicate what theywere for, and the young men darednot touch any of them for fear ofthe consequences.

"If we pull one," reasoned Peter,"it might deflate the confoundedballoon, and we'd drop to earth likea stone."

"Why didn't the fellow who builtit label his gadgets?" put in Vic.

"We must be at least five thou-sand feet up now," said Phillip, whohad remained quiet all this time."We're probably rising at a speed ofone thousand feet a minute. Iwonder if the thing will stop itself?"

At that moment the cabin of theballoon plunged into darkness.

"Gosh!" cried Phillip. "What'shappened?"

Peter laughed.

"It's .all right," he told them."We've reached a big cloud and we'repassing upwards through it, that'sall."

Moisture, which collected quicklyon the thick windows of the cabin,gave confirmation to Peter's expla-nation.

A feyr seconds later the balloonemerged from the. cloud and lightpoured into the cabin once more.

"I was just thinking," said Phillip."What was this balloon built for?It was obviously meant for somedefinite purpose. A great deal oftime and money must have beenspent on it."

"There's no doubt," replied Peter,"that it's one t>f the balloons builtfor exploring the stratosphere. Mypaper has printed a number ofarticles lately about experiments tosee if it isn't possible for an aero-plane to fly in a few hours acrossto America by first of all reachingthe stratosphere."

"I've read about it, too," inter-posed Vic. "But—but—I say, thoeepeople go up 10 miles or more, don'tthey? You don't think we're goingup 10 miles, do you?"

"Not if we can help it," repliedPhillip. "The question is how arewe to stop ourselves?" Peter lookedat the others.

"I remember reading in anothernewspaper about some secret attemptthat was going to be made on thestratosphere," ho said. "Our seniorreporter was talking about it in theoflice the other day. Ho eaid it wasall being huslied up. It was to besomething on a big scale, and thatProfessor Slater, or Salter, I thinkthe name was—was eaid to be build-ing a eecret balloon somewhere.Heavens, I wonder if this is hisballoon!"

He had hardly finished speaking,when the balloon suddenly came toa complete standstill. The triolooked at one another in astonish-ment that was not unmixed withfear.

They held their breaths, wonder-ing what was going to happen next.

The minutes went by and all threestood still and tense, but the balloonshowed no signs of any further move-ment.

More than an hour had passed andthe balloon still remained motionless.

The hour had been filled by intensediscussion on the part of Peter, Phil-lip and Vic. They had taken carefulstock of the interior of the cabinand had made notes and diagramsof it.

As they now stared at the row oflevers they wished that some heaven-sent inspiration would help them todecide which was the right one topull to'makc the balloon descend tothe earth as steadily as it had risen.All the levers looked exactly alike.

At last Peter came to a suddendecision.

"Now listen," he said. "We'll haveto take a chance. I suggest that wepull-back the first lever jufit an inchor two at first to give us time todiscover what its effect will be, andif possible, by pushing the lever backquickly, avoid any unpleasant conse-quences."

The others agreed to the sugges-tion and watched breathlessly asPeter, with intense caution, tookhold of the first lever and attemptedto pull it slightly. It would notbudge, and he applied more pressure.Still the thing refused to work. ThenPeter gave it a.tug. Instantly thelever drew back to its full extent.The balloon trembled violently andall three looked at each other withfrightened faces.

A moment later there was a roarfrom below the floor of the cabinand a great sheet of flame leapt out.The cabin itself became filled withsmoke.

The trembling of the balloon in-creased in violence for a second ortwo, and suddenly Peter shoutedhoarsely:

"It's a rocket balloon. I've firedoff one of the rockets! Lie on thefloor and hold tight!"

Almost at once the balloon shotmadly through the air, gatheringspeed with astounding swiftness.

Faster! Faster!Lying, clutching the floor of the

smoke-filled cabin, the .three menwere being hurled into tho strato-sphere at the rate of a thousand milesan hour. A deafening, thunderingnoise was in their ears, and they werethinking desperately of their livesand safety. Strong as their fearwas, they had no conception of theperils which lay before them in theuncharted regions of space.

CHAPTER IV.Smashing Back to Earth!

Screaming up through space at athousand miles an hour in a strangemachine they knew nothing about!The three young men were in aterrifying predicament, and the imme-diate effect upon them was for theirminds completely to "black out" forseveral tense seconds.

They recovered to find that theballoon had turned on its eide, andwas travelling parallel with theearth. Looking out of an observa-tion window, Peter, the eldest of thethree, and a young journalist, couldsee the earth, far below, hurtling pastin one long panorama.

"Gosh!" he breathed. "We'vestopped going lip."

His two companions in distress,short, dumpy Phillip Joyce and youngVictor Handley joined him at theobservation window, when, suddenly,the balloon gave another startlingtremor, and went pointing downtowards the earth again, leapingtowards it at an appalling speed.

"We'll be smashed to pulp!" Vic-tor gasped the words in horror.

Peter caught a glimpse of somejungle country, but he hadn't timeto thinkwhere it was. Something hadgone wrongwith the balloon and in lessthan a minute they would all bohurled to their deaths. In suchmoments the mind can act withamazing speed, and so it was in thiscase. Peter remembered seeingattached to the air control switchthe words "Balloon release," but hohad had no idea what they meant.Now it came to him in a flash.
