SCHOOL BUILDINGS

RENTING OF PREMISES

That the building operations of theWellington Education Board', duringtho past year have been marked by ex-ceptional difficulty owing to the very;large and rapid increase in the sub-urban population, due, iv the Hutt-Pe-tono area, to the Governmentdevelopment scheme, is pointedout in tho board's annual .re-port made available for publication to-day. Pressure wag experienced alsoin Miramar, Lyall Bay, Island Bay,Ngaio, Karori, and Kaiwarra. Owing 'to tho extreme -difficulty iv providingsecondary accommodation in the.east-ern area, the board agreed to hand overto the Department tho now Piongotaischool of eleven rooms on completion.The following buildings wero erectedduring the year:—Waiwetu (six rooms),Wilford (four rooms), Opouri ■Valley(one room), and Pukerua Bay (oneroom). Additions were provided atSouth Miramar (three rooms), Khan-dallah (oneroom), Kaiwarra (oneroom), Karori (one room,-,andremod-elling), Seatoun (two rooms for infantdepartment), and Petone West, (fourrooms, infant department).

To meet the extraordinary pressure, ■church rooms and halls, and a, race-course pavilion, were rented. A newresidence was erected at Waikanac toreplace the former one destroyed .byfiro. New convenience's were provid-ed at three schools,septic tanks at two,shelter sheds at three, and improvedheating at two. Painting, and over-haul work were 'undertaken at- 54schools and 20 residences. Towardssome of' theso works local*contributionwas made.

"Owing to the continued develop-ment further acquirement of sites anderection of buildingsbecomes urgent,"concludes >the report, "and the boardrespectfully urges that in areas of cer-tain growth it should not be depend-ent on the renting of premises'whicharo never very suitable, and nearlyalways subject to interruption in use.As ' a measure of meeting unforeseen-emergencyit is commendable. As acontinuing policy it is hardly defens-ible." '"

BURYNGTHE DEAD

INJUNCTION AGAINST MAORIS

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

AUCKLAND, "This Day.The right of Maoris to bury their

dead on a certain piece of land at Ke-repechi, was discussed in the SupremeCourt before Mr. Justice Macgregor,when. Reuben- Connor, of Kerepeehi, abutcher (Mr. Garland), claimed £100damages, and an injunctionagainst Ta-'mehana Peckc, Paratcne Hotene, MarkBarton, and Ernest Barber, labourers,of Kerepeehi, to refrain thm from, .trespassing, and using the land as aburial ground. Tho action was unde-fended.

In the statement,of claim, the plain-tiff said that defendants wrongfullyclaimed to use as aburial ground, partof a piece, of .land owned and occupied ■by the plaintiff. On-22nd. August lastdefendants wilfully trespassed on theland and buried there the body of a de-ceased Maori. The defendants stillpersisted in their claim, and threatenedand intended to trespass on and to useland again as a Maori burial ground.

Connor, in evidence, said that heowned 144 acres of land, and held aland transfer title. Prior to thotrespass, ho had heard of tho natives'inteutionj- and had given them written,notice of his objection. The Maoris -had had to rc'movo a fence-to enter theproperty. Witness, in the presence oftho local police constable, ordered-thoMaoris off his land. The majority atonce left, but defendants refused to go.Sinco the actual issue of the writ threemore, bodies had been buried on theproperty.

His Honour said that the plaintiffhad.proved, his case, and was' entitledto'an injunction. The Maoris seemedto bo under the idea that thoy' had aright to bury their dead on tho proper-ty. They must berestrained from fur-ther trespass, and therefore'an injunc-tion would be granted. No very cleardamago had been proved, but trespasswas an aggravated one, and had been,committed after notice had been given.The plaintiff would bo awarded £25:damagcs. ■

HOSPITAL LEVIES

PETONE FAVOURS INQUIRY-

"The much-debated question of,/ Ho-spital Board levies came up for discus-sion at the meeting of the Petoue Bor-ough Council last night, when the Pal-merston North Borough Council wrote,suggesting that city and borough coun-cils should have direct representationon hospital'boards, and forwarding*copy of the following I resolution:-—''That' this council communicate withthe Prime Minister suggesting that aCommissionb1" appointed to review thepresent system of levying, upon localbodies for the finance required by hos-pital boards,as this council is of opinion,that the charges made upon councils arebecoming unduly heavy."-

The Mayor (Mr. D. M'Kenzie) spokein favour of the Palmorston motion.The Petone Council's contribution, hesaid, had increased from £1768 18s 4din 1919-20 to £3565 15s 2d in 1928-29.Ho moved that the council should passa similar resolution'to that of the Pal-nierstou North Borough Council.

SOCIAL SCIENCE

£ PROBLEM OF TO-DAY

WHAT MAKES CRIMINALS?

INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE

A particularly interesting eveningwas spent by those who responded totho invitation of, the Howard Leaguea'or Penal Reform to attend the lecturegiven on Thursday by Dr. I. L. P.Sutherland to tlft study circle of theleague. Although the weather was sobad, quite.a number of representativesof other societies attended tho lecture,which was given in the club room oftho Wellington branch of tho N.Z.E.I.

Dr»' Sutherland said he felt'that'heliad undcrtakon 'an almost impossible.task in trying to answer such, a difficultquestion, "What Makes Criminals?" inthe course of a singlo brief paper., Not-able progress had been mado in recentyears in the scientific understanding ofcriminal behaviour. Tho ancient deairoof vengeanco was based on fenr; lieshowed how the old regime had arrivedand why it was gradually changing,saying that tho wish for vengeanceshould bo eliminated. A relative suc-cess had been, attained in tho lj;reat'-hient of the insane, but, while progresshad been mado in thounderstanding oftho criminal psychology, there wasmuch moro to be learned.

PRESENT'METHODS FUTILE.In tho meantime lie was suro that

the present methods of dealing withdelinquents were futile. In fact, he wasof opinion that .the treatment wont fa.rto perpetuate the trouble which it wasdesigned to correct. It had been saidthat "Prisons were breeding places ofcrime," and that r by a man who ,hadServed a prison sentence in orefcr toacquaint himself thoroughly with pris-on life. So far there was' a good dealof knowledge of causation, but thisknowledge was',-not; applied., Tradf-tion, and the mouioiituin of present in-stitutions militated against change. Dr.Sutherland emphasised his belief thatllio findings of modern science shouldbe made the common knowledge ofpeople generally, not only in the caseof criminology, but /in all importantmatters of. life and conduct, and saidthat when these matters we're betterunderstood, a ,pablic opinion would boformed which would make tho noeos-bary reforms possible. Old ideas faded,'mkl things which wero formerly crim-inal iv a high degree were not so now,"while legislatures wero creating newcrimes. A criminal was a person whowas unable to adjust himself to theconditions',required by legislature nowa-days, getting away from the old ideasof "possession" or "cursed by God," A."classical school" of investigators ,wasinclined to deny the freedom of willin tho human being, and found thatcrime was tho result of environmentand tho echoes of depraved heredity,and something of this was still heard.Lombroso, the founder of an anatomicalschool of criminology, finding that theskull of a brigand held certain resem-blances to that of an animal,, and hadother,bodily characteristics the same,formulated the itheory of atavism, orroversion to type, and held that theconduct of such a man was midwaybetween that of a lunatic and an ani-mal. . After an interesting descriptionof Lombroso's work, the speaker saidLonibroso's ideas were quite rejectednow, in the light of further research.Fecble-mindedness had been shown by- another- investigator1 to bo -more than*, iifty pfr.eeaktjbq..cause,of cubic, thoughfatill more recent ' students wero ofopinion that this was an over-estimate.Alcoholism was cpnnectcd with "crimesof passion," and with other forniß ofdelinquency, and yet could hardly bostated to be the "causo" of crime unlessassociated with other cogent reasons.Poverty was responsible for the forma-tion of amultiplicityof causes. It can-not be said that there'was any universalsource, or even two or three. Groatconsideration must be given to thoamincnso range of differences in peopleand circumstances, and to the fact thatsome conditions and characteristics,■while making criminals of some, hadao effect on others. In the treatmentof criminals the under-lying reasons inuach case should be looked for and:taken into consideration. To ...ask,'"What makes a criminal?" was-almostlike asking, "What makes a human, tie-ing?"

"DEVELOPED PERSONALLY."In the study of seventy cases of

'delinquency one authority found thatheredity and environment,appeared to'ho involved, though it had been,estab-lished that crime was 'not inherited,'"but developed personally. It must be'kept in mind," too, that supdr-noTmalability might be a causo of orimo as"well as sub-normality. Other causeshad boon found in climate, changes ofseason, economic conditions, fluctua-tions of trado—this last causing theformation of.anti-social grudges. Homeswero truly causative factors. It hadbeen established that unrest and dis-turbances in family life were fruitfulcauses of crime among children, ormight follow them later in life and'cause trouble. Therefore it was. cer-tain that the early years were! infinitelyimportant.' Corrective methods in deal-ing with first offenders and recidivists(returned prisoners), he -said,", hadproved a failure in America, for it hadbeen found that 55 per cent, of'juvenilooffenders went on to adult crime.

WASTAGE IN FRUIT

OVERSEAS -SHIPMENTS

MARKETING BOARD'S REPORT

DOMINION'S RECORD -The activities of the Empire Market-

ingBoard are of paramount importanceto the Dominion, and tho results oftheir experimental investigations willbe read with interest by producors ofall kinds. One of tho board's first ac-tivities was to'appoint a Fruits Com-mittee to deal with'all questions affect-ing tho marketing of fruit, it'being de-cided in. the .first instance, to concen-trate upoil problems rotating to tho do-terioration of fruit in ."transit^ Ancx-?-pcrimental-investigation w

tas according-

ly initiated .with the ultimate object- ofundertaking a general study of the Eco-nomic significance of wastage as a fac-tor in the imported fruit trads. Dur-ing the 1927 Australian' and New Zea-land fruit season the investigation wasextended to London, practically everyshipment of fruit from Australia andNew Zealand arriving in the ports ofLondon or Liverpool being examined asthoroughly as possible. The report hasnow been published, it being emphasis-ed that it is based on the data of oneseason only, generalisations being tenta-tive. - -Commenting on the packing of the450,000 cases of Now Zealand apples'and the 22,000 cases of pears, the reportsays: "New Zealand apples were pack-ed in deal bushol cases bound withwire, the fruit being protected withcorrugated cardboard and occasionallywith wood wool. Tho only defect inthis pack is that, as the wood is verythin, tho cases splinterbadly if they archandled at all roughly. The pears werepacked in three trays, nailed together.with slats of wood, making a packageof about the same size as a bushel case.Each pear was wrapped in paper andsurrounded with wood wool so thatthere was practically no 'bruising,"

After dealing with the difficulty of,maintaining" tli6 right temperatures onthe boats carrying tho fruit, tho reportpoints out the advantages to be gainedfrom pre-cooling, which, to bo effective,would have to be universal. "Underthe present conditions, a considerableportion of the voyago must necessarilyelapse before a fruit cargo is broughtto a satisfactory temperature, andthere can be no doubt that the morqrapid temperature reduction obtainedby pre-cooling would result in a greatimprovement in the condition of the'fruit on> arrival. Apples could bopicked later without fear of arrival onthe market in an over-ripe state, andtheir appearance, flavour, and sizowould thereby be improved. In addi-tion, there is a considerable amoupt ofevidence to indicate that rapid coolingafter picking would materially reducethe development of bittor pit. Itshould be emphasised, however, thatpre-cooling must bo universal to beeffective. Loading cooled and uncool-ed cases into tho same chamber wouldlead to condensation of moisture on to1the surface of the cooler fruit and.greatly increase the risk of wastage."

'' A largo 'p'bVtion of thereport dealswith tho specific causes of rotting inthe fruit, and it is interesting to notethat the actual percentages of fungalrotting worked out as follows:—NewZealand, 0.5; Western Australia, 0.6;Tasmania, 0.8. These figures refer tocases of primary fungal infection, oc-currences secondary to intornal break-down and other physiological diseaseshaving boon excludedas far as possible.In advanced stages of rotting it is, how-i>yer, of tejujijifijiult* tft^doteinuucîlwL.exact origin of the infection.

Commenting on specific diseases ob-served in their imported fruit, the re-port goes on to say':l—"The low per-centage of disease obsorved in all S"ewZealand varieties is very striking; eventhe consignments of the highly-suscept-ible Cox variety showed very littlewastage. Tho general good.'conditicnof the New Zealand fruit (is possiblydue in part to "the moro effective grad-ing and more, rigorous control of ex-port practised in that country.' It isalso believed that tho New. Zealandshipments were stowed moro often' inthe smaller 'tween deck chambers thanin the larger lower holds, the smalleraveragelsize^New Zealand shipmentscompared> with those - from Australia.rendering this possible. The practicemay, be a contributing factor, since- itwould permit tho temperature "of thefruit to be reduced moro rapidly anE1.to be held at a, morouniform level dur-ing the voyage."

It exhalesjets of steam like breath from tho nostrils ofa mighty dragon. In strange contrast to thismonster of tho earth there Is a gllmpso of theplayground of tho rich, towering majesticallyabove the skyscrapers of Metropolis. Here, allis^beautlful,and on "occasions the children ofthe ;£workors are permitted a visit to obtainfresa air and sunlight, which is so strange tothem. It is in this garden that tho action oftho story commences.. Mary, p daughter of tliopeoplo,: surrounded by' a group of pale andfagged children, meets Eric, the son of Master-man of Metropolis. . In: all his pampered lifethe. youth-has .never realised the" true, state ofaffairs in Metropolis. He follows the girl totho underground city, and is amazed at themass of machinery kept In motion by sm eatingworkers,-who toil through ten-hour shifts tokeep bis father in a world'of luxury. Revolu-tion follows, and the infuriatedmob wreckstho city, regardless of the fact that their child-ren will be drowned as soon as tho machineryof Metropolis ceases to function. After manythrilling adventures, Masterman realises thatco-operation with his workers is necessary fortho futurowelfare or his city and the happL-ness of his son.

With her technique is only a means to

.an end, and inoit unobstrunlvely used to ex-press the composer's thought, or 'emotion, assho understands it. The result was delight-ful.

EXTINCT ANIMALS

SKELETONS IN CAVE

A large collection of bones of birdsand animals that have been extinct fornot less than 1000 years have beenfound in tho limestone caves of Haitiand collected by a -Smithsonian In-stitution expedition under Arthur J.Poole. Tho- caves,, located near theedge of the great central plain ofHaiti, are infested-,by bats;

Among- them was a skeleton of aground sloth and several bones of rod-ents that were estimated to have beenabout the size of a muskrat, as wellas a number of lizard jaws. In someof the caves, also,human remains werefound, but whether they are of a racenow extinct has not yet been determin-ed. The caves havo been used by thenatives as places of worship,, and carv-ed heads were found in them on stalag-mites.

How the bones got into tho cavesis as yot a matter of conjecture. Thosmaller birds and mammals whosebones were found were assumed tohave been the prey of owls. Owlsswallow their prey whole or in largofragments and when the flesh is di-gested the fiir or feathers aro formedinto pellets and regurgitated. Noweven the owls of.the typo that mighthave deposited'l-the bones there arcsaid to bo extinct. " They resembledtho barn owl, it is said/but were thrcotimes as largo.

It 'is seldom that one hears of navalships being put to so useful and pacific apurpose as that recently performed byvessels of the Canadian and United Statesnaviqs. The huge herds of Pacific sealswhile on their annual ■ migration to thePribiloffi-Islands were, under internationaltreaty, being convoyed by war vesseis,which saw that they came to no harm ontheir long journey.

Nature's way to aperfect complexionNatural ways are always best. Nature meant women to haveabeautiful complexion. Nature gave us a skin which consistsof several layers because it meant the outer layer, which isexposed to the air and dust and so gets worn and discoloured,gradually to dissolve away and make room for the fresh,youngskin underneath. Unhappily, modem lifeonly too often inter-fereswithNature's planand minute particlesof the old,worn-outcuticle remain to clog up the tiny pores and choke the youngskin underneath. . : 'That's whycomplexionsareapt tobecome dull and muddy andthat's why so manyoi our professional beauties use MercolizcdWax so regularly. ..Mercolized Wax has this peculiar property.Gently rubbed in with the finger-tips at night, it quietly andimperceptibly dissolves awayall the tinyparticles ofworn-out, 'skin while you sleep,so that you wake in the morning with a'complexion that is absolutely clear and fresh. It i» Nature'swayto natural beauty. Just try this simple plan to-night,but~ be sure to ask the chemist for pure Mercolized Wax. Nothingelse will do.

MERCOLIZED WAX1 DOES !H(yr contain Mercury or anything injurious to the

complexion, and is guaranteed not to encourage the growth of hair.

HOLLYWOOD !

HOPES AND HEARTBREAKS

A RESIDENT'S VIEWPOINT

That Hollywood is a much ma-ligned city, and that many of thosewho live there andwhoso names arcknown to picture "fans" all theworld over airo often most anxiousto elurto publicity, is the opinion ofMrs. Louis Wolhoin), wife of theactor of that name, who arrived bythe Makura yesterday on her waybaclc to Los Angeles."Our greatest struggle is 1o get a

littlo quiet domestic time to ourselves,"she said to a "Post" reporter. "Holly-wood is-very much malignedi The peo-plo there must necessarily live verypublic lives, and other people seek themout and make them still more public.Every city has its scandals, but thespotlight of the world is played uponHollywood and Monte Carlo, and placeslike that have 'gone to the wall' entire-ly as far as publicity is concerned. Ac-tually Hollywood is a place of hard,work and heart breaks. Visitors often ;say to me, 'What iua you must haveworking on the 'lot' (I have not doneanypicture work yet, but am hoping tojoinup when I go back), but I always.point out to them tj refute any non-senso about stupid behaviour or whatyou might call disorder, thatone hour lost on the 'lot' means the lossof several' thousand dollars, or 'more,according to the production. " So youcan see that any skylarking would soonbe put a stop to by the director orfinancier."I always find the industrial side of

Hollywood intensely interesting," con-tinued Mrs. Wolheim. "Everything i 9marvellously organised; You can getanything in tho workl there. Every-thing is 'on the promises.'. Yes, evento a lion farm, and there are specialistsin every possible art to be found inHollywood. They are all registered attho picture offices for their specialstunts, but they cannot hope to get em-ployment in the pictures all the time.Champion bareback riders may workon the telephone switchboard for per*haps three years before a, circus picturecomes-along and they aro called up.

"There is every nationality in Holly-wood. Icouldn't name one that is notrepresented; but they al* sort them-selvesout socially, and they are all usedin the pictures at one time or another.Even the hermits from the foothills of,Sierra Madras, or the 'Mother moun-tains,' at the back of Hollywood aregathered in occasionally to take apart.I have seen five or six of these hermits.They are the cleanest looking people Ihave ever seen. They wear ordinaryclothes but no shoes or stockings, andtheir hair and beards arc long andglossy."

Hollywood's climato is described byMrs. Wolheim as thebest'days" of SouthAustralian springtime, and she finds an-other link with her own countrylin themany Australian trees which have beenplanted in and around Hollywood. Wat-tles grow along many of the streets, andthe natural low growth of the foothillshas been increased with the plantingof

,'eucalpytus.. "Evoryone is very friendly in Holly-wood," said Mrg. Wolheim, "and thereis plenty of bathing and tennis andbridge, although we do not play muchof tho latter in the summer time unlessit is on the beach, just when we feel in-clined. Picture pepcOe live in all thebeach houses.. Marion Davies has amagnificent place there—really a whitewooden palace—with a bathing pool incoloured marble. Some of tho oldSpanish names have curious meanings.Did you know California meant 'hotoven7? .And then there is a frightfullygay place, Ti Juan.., just over theboarder, .where we go for the races, andit really means 'Aunt Jane.'

"And who is the outstanding charac-ter in Hollywood? Well, I imagine,although he is not much known abroad,Jim/Pulley, the tramp writer, is. He iscalled 'the modern Gorki,' a termwhich annoys him intensely, but he hasmuch in common with him. A trampfrom boyhood, he has written some veryremarkable books; and got his first loveof writing in an orphanage, where heread aloud to the nuns while theysewed.He read tho histories of the'Popes, andho adored the Bible, and he made up hismind to buy certain books as soon ashe had tho money. Actually, 'The His-tory of Borne' was the first book hobought. His own 'Beggars of Life'is written with tho comprehensiveknowledge of the tramp's life, and itwas produced in New York as a playabout three years ago. The man whowrote' 'What Price Glory?' in whichmy husband made his name, adapted thebook. I had a letter from Tulley theother day, and he tells me his publishershave already in hand three-quarters ofhis now book, which is expected to bomost successful. Then Charlie Chaplinis one of the most charming personali-ties in Hollywood. He is an entirelydifferent person from the oneyou see onthe screen. I was ft a dinner partyjust before I came away, and he con-fessed to me then that he sufferedagonies of shyness whenever he cameinto a room full of people. ' I had no-ticed before how he often sat away ino, corner by himself, but I had neversuspected the cause.

"Feminine beauty is almost a gluton the market in .Hollywood. I thinkit is Tulley who has said somethingabout girls coming in from small west-ern towns with suitcases,full of hopesand going back with jnst broken'hearts.Most of thesegirls can get parts in pic-tures, but they cannot all get to thetop. To give you some idea of thohardships actors and actresses have toput up with, my husband, when work-ing on 'Two Arabian Knights,' lefthome at six one morning and re-turned at six tho next, wet andicy cold afterhourr in a property mudhole. He fell into bed without com-plaint, and only growled when I hadhot water bottles heaped all over him.But I justwondered how many of theaudience who scream with laughter overthat particular incident in the finishedpicture will think what that poor mansufferedin making it."

A BOON TO MOTHERS.SPLENDID COUGH REMEDY

EASILY MADE AT HOME.

(By a QualifiedChemist.)Mothers who are continually buying

bottles of cough mixtures can effectenormous savngs by making their own,which is quite.easily done at home. Allthat is necessary is some- sweetening,\vater, and a small bottle of "Heenzo,"the original and gonuine Hcan's Es-sence. There is no boiling or fuss orbother of any kind. Easy directionsfor mixing are printed on the labelof every bottle, and the result is a pintof the finest family cough and coldremedy moneycan buy.

''Heonzo"is good for grandparents,grandchildren, and all tho ages in be-tween. The dose is from a few dropsto a spoonful, according to age require-ments. This simple ■ recipe takes holdof a cough quicker than anything elseyou havo ever tried; it has a good toniceffect, and is also slightly laxative.

All chemists and stores sell "Heen-zo" (Hean's Essence), 2s 6d bottleeverywhere.—Advt.

ENGLISH COMPOSERS

SONGS AND INSTRUMENTALWORKS

CLOSE OF INTERESTIHG COURSE; ' ■ ■ - ■ ■ \

There was a large and appreciativeaudience at the Dominion Farmers' In-stitute Hall on Saturday evening whenMr. Robert Parker concluded his shortcourse in music for the Workers' Edu-cational Association, dealing with theworks of outstanding English compos-ers from the time of Purcell. Thelecturer gave short biographical Bketch-es of England's greatest composer, SirHenry Purcell, of Handel, who spoutall tlie creative years of his life inEngland, and became a naturalisedBritish subject, of Dr. Arne, who com:posed "Bule Britannia"; and Dibdin,who began his musical career as achorister in Westminster Abbey, andwhose compositions did so much tohearten■ up the British sailors in daysgone by. Mr. Parker made passingreference to the work of Sir HenryBishop, andof Sterndalo Bennett, whosesongs/are characterised by a graceful,easy style, and ushered in a new periodof English composition which proved" averitable renaissance and has been car-ried on right up to the present time.Within the last fifty years, said' Mr..Parker, a tremendous advance .hadbeen made in regard to instrumentalworks and" the improvement shad beaneven greater in English song-writing.He much regretted that the publictaste for vocal music had not shownsigns of a similar advance. He in-cluded in his programme a number ofbeautiful songs by present-day compos-ers, which deserved to be better knownand more widely sung. rHe felt it wasa big stepVin the right direction thatchildren were receiving better musicaltraining in the schools,and he was con-fident that'as time went on,the taste ofthe public would be .gradually improv-,cd. Vocal and instrumental workswore presented by tho following -art-ists:—Miss Alma Clegg: "Nympbs andShepherds, Come Away" (Henry Pur-cell); "When Daisies Pied" (Dr.Arne);"Daybreak" (Albert Mallin-son); "To One Who passed WhistlingThrough the Night" . (ArmstrongGibbs), and "IKnow a Bank" (Mar-

tin Shaw). Miss Jean MacKenzie:Pianoforte solos, two English dances,"Bourreo" (Purcell), and a minuet,"The Countessof Westmoreland's De-light" (W. Shield). Mr. John.Piouse:"Let tho Dreadful Engines of EternalWill" (Purcell); "Blow High, BlowLow" (Dibdin), and "To Anthea,"words by Horrick, music by J, L Pat-ton. Mr. Arthur Clarke: "A PastoralAir," and "Fairest Isle" (Purcell);"IAm Weaving SwoetViolets," a Bet-ting by Sir Hubert Parry to some beau-tiful Greek verses translated by Ar-thur P. Graves; "Queenof Heaven,"by .Thomas Dunhill—a pupil of Parryand Stanford, who is doing much .finework; "Oh, Mistress.Mine" (Sir EogerQuilter); "Roadside Fires," words byE. L. Stevenson, music by VatighanWilliams, and "Sea Fever" (John Ire-land).

Misses Dorothy Mills, Barton andGreenwood, and Mrs. P. Nathan, ac-companied by Mrs. Maundrell Ffobbs,played several delightful number.? fromHandel's "Water Music" and "A Lov-er's Minuet," by Sir Frederick Cowan,and tho soloists were sympatheticallyaccompanied by Mesdamcs Davidsonand Maundrell Hobbs, and Signor Cat-tan co.

At the close of tho evening Profcs- jsor T. A. Hunter, W.E.A. Director, pro-1posed a hearty vote of thanks to\Mr. :Parker and those artists who have as-sisted him in making the series of lec-tures so entertaining and intruclive.

The next short course will be Un-dertaken by Professor Eankine Brown,who will deal with "Some Aspects ofGreek Life."

MONCRIEFF-HOOD FUND

, DIVISION OF £2000

The final meeting of the Moncrieff-

'Hood Fund Committeo was held in thotMayor's room yesterday afternoon, Mr.iG. A. Troup, Mayor, presiding, to de-!cido upon the division of the fundbetween the widows of LieutenantMoncrieff and Captain Hood, and Mrs.Moncrieff, senr, Tho previous meet-ing had before it a proposal from thePublic Trustee that £750 should be in-vested on behalf of Mrs. Moncrieff,senr., to bring in 15s per week, andthat the remainder of the money shouldbe divided equally between the widows,but as it was contendod toy some mem-bers that more provision should be madefor Mrs. Moncrieff, senr., A cash pay-ment of £100 as well as tho invest-ment of £750 being suggested, con-sideration was deferred until thewishes of the largest donors had teenascertained.

Mr. Troup stated that letters- 'hadbeen sent to all donors of £10 and up-wards, and of tho replies received,from ' subscribers whose donations.amounted to £1160, all but one ap-proved of the Public Trustee's pro-posal. However, ho had discussed thematter with Mr. H. P. F. Blundell, vaco-trustoe, and they now suggestedthat Mrs. Moncrieff, sen?.,should begiven £50 in cash and that the £750should bo invested on her behalf bythe Public Trustee. In addition to thefunds already disbursed, i.e., £386,which was received from the "NewZealand Herald" on the. understand-ing that it should be divided betweenthe widows, thdre was in hand £16863s lid, and, after the cash payment' of£50 to Lieutenant Moncrieff's motherand tho investment of £750, therewould bo £886 3s lid to be divided.Upon the death of Mrs. Moncrieff,senr., the capital sum would be dividedbetween the widows.

Gold Mint's form at Treri-tham was better than it appeared:at.firstsight—who is engaged in the race at 9.4,an unconscious gesture—and Malmsey, Ka-los, and Locarno are three likely' improv-ers. It is likely to be as tough a race'as ever, but four who appeal are (Panther,Catkin, Gold Mint, and Locarno.The Big Hurdle Race.

Despite Xukumai's failure at Trenthamon Saturday, the bandicapper is not tak-ing any risks with him in the Grand Na-tional Hurdle Race,a policy with- whichfew will disagree. Beau Cavalier mightessay to win the race instead of thesteeplechase, and he is in his place at11.6. Red Fuchsia, 11.5,appeals as muchas any of the top-weights, while if Glen-dowie is saved for this event he wouldhave pknty of friends at 10.5. Thestablemates Gaze, 10.3,and Perle deLeon, 10.2,have only to be kept right todo their part, Aberfeldy, 10.1,may notrecover from his Trentham fall in time.It is difficult to become enthusiastic aboutthe light-weightbrigade, unless Craigtnoreturns out to be really good. The elect ofGaze and Perle de Leon, Red Fuchsia,and Nukumai may do best.Henderson's Ability.

S. Henderson again had a good run ofluck at Trentham, and earned a substan-tial cheque for the meeting. His bestwas on Beau Cavalier in the WinterITurdlu Racn, but he also brought homeQuincoma in the hack hurdle race on thesecond day. These,with successes on theflat on Freeze Out and lmarosebud,com-pleted his score. He was also withinan ace of winning on No Favours in theHighweight Handicap, but Patuki justbeat him. i-, . -Perle tie Leon and Gaze. \

Perle de Leon and Gaze will go hometo Hawkes Bay, and every effort will bemade to get them right for the GrandNational Meeting. Both were more orless lame at Trentham, and their owner,Mr. W. J. Craig, and his assistant,R.Eager, will have their work cut out. Bothhorses are nicely treated in the weights,and if they do manageto survive the ne-cessarywork the others will know theyhaye been racing.- Considering his badluck, Gazeran a gallantrace in the Win-ter Hurdles, and with a little more luck inrunning would have been hard to beat.A Promising Youngster.

Silver Paper, the two-year-old son ofPaper Money and Silver Peak, is nowgoing on the right way in his work. Hisbreeder,Mr. W.

On the Invercargillcinder track one morning during last weekSilverPaper was given an opportunity toran down two furlongs under restraintin companywith his younger half-sisterby Some Boy IT. Silver Paper hit outwith all his early freedomand pulled upsound. His unnamed filly relative made8 very nice showing on the inside ofthe track when led home by SilverPaper,and demonstrated the fact that she isgoing to be able to gallop.A Southern 'Chaser.

The Grand National Steeplecuase can-didate Greenstone is the only Southlandhorse in training with immediate import-ant engagements ahead, consequently heis being kept up to the collar by F.

' ■-.. ■Imperfectly Schooled Horses.

During this and recent seasons -therehave been cases of horses being allowedto start iv hurdle races who because theyhave had little education have been* asource of real danger to other runners.The stipendiary stewards' report at therecent Racing Conferencedealt with thismatter, and it was suggested that thestewards should be given power to preventthe starting of imperfectly schooled horsesin hurdle races.Trained Off.

The defeats of Trivalvois the autumn inAustralia has given Dr. Stewart M'Kayah opportunity to go into the matter ofhorses training off, general staleness,andthe need of complete change. Inter alia,he writes: "Stalenessis a stage or a con-dition of over-fatigue; it comes to theathlete or the horse that has been over-trained, or to one, that has exercised orlias raced until he has used up too muchof his potential energy. The result ofover-training is that the cells that generatethe stimuli in the brain become exhausted,and the impulses that are sent out to thecentres in the spinal cord fail to elicitfully the desired movements. In addition*1 the exhaustion of the brain celln there1? an exhaustion of the heart,, and itsf*serve force is tor the time diminished;*ad, lastly, the muscles,which depend onthe nerve centres in the spinal cord andoh the heart for an adequate supply ofoxygen,do not do their work efficiently;and so the products of metabolism collectbecause they arc not removed as quicklyas they should be; and so these retainedproducts' help to cause a condition of

muscle fatigue, which means that actionswhich depend on muscles are not exe-cuted as evidentlyas they should be. Wemay conclude,js Ciilc lema'vks,that whenwe speak of exhaustion we mean exhaus-tion of the biain, and he says this ia thecentral fact to be noted.: The treatmentis obvious. Rest. To allow a horse togo on working when he is stale is a greaterror. He must have a real rest, whichmeans a trip away to the country, where

"on the -high lands he will get a freshsupply of red blood corpuscles. This isthe key to a. "change of air" in the coun-try., To rest the horse about the stablesis a mistake,;particularly in a place likeSydney, which is so' close to the sea. Noplace can-be worse than Randwick in thisrespect. ...Aberfeldy's Trouble....Aberfeldy had - a disastrous trip to

.Trentham last. week."',/.He ran so wellin the: Trentham Hurdle Handicap ciithe first day when .lie finished second toGaze that he came in for strong supportin the Winter. Hurdle Handicap on Satur-day. In a conversation while the horseswere at the starting post, his owner, R.\V. King, said .that if Aberfeldy was athis best he would,,not feel much worryabout the result, but he,added'thatthoughhis.horse was not quite right; he expectedhim to. run a gobd lâce.' In this he wasamply" justified, as Aberfeldy was well inthe picture, always in the first half dozen,up to the second last hurdle, when ( hecrashed heavily. According to his rider, 1.

-Tilson, it would appear that he did notsight the obstacle and1 went right into it,turning a somersault; It looked a badfall and after events showed that it was.When he returned to the birdcage itwas seen, that hei had stripped the skinoff one of his forelegs, but it is fearedthat this may prove the least of his in-juries'. He received a knock on the head,between the ears, and he was bleedingfreely from the nostrils afterwards. Kinghad to remain behind with his charge p.t

.Trentharn,and it seems unlikelythat Aber-feldy will befit to'race again for sometime. It-was an unfortunateending to atrip which" Kiiig' undertook only with re-luctance,and it will rob the Grand Na-tional Hurdles of a candidate who lookedcertain to set the North Island visitorsa stiff ..task.

Three miles from home allthe runners were brought together and,led by G. Zander, made fast work of theremaining ground. The actual goingthroughout the seven miles' journey wasexceptionally hard. Stevens,Zander, andLawton were very impressive, the latterespecially moving veryfreely. A run-in overthe last quarter of a mile was won byB. Woodcock,with E. Whitehouse andG. Zander filling, second and third placesrespectively. Next week at Miramar theScottishClub will hold its five-milecham-pionship race. With such men as F. B. Sil-ver, A. L.

OLYMPIC TEAM

ARRIVAL IN ENGLAND

HOPE OP CHANNEL SWIM

(From "The Post's" Representative.)LONDON, Bth June.

First impressions of London arc last-ing. New Zcalanilers who eanic by theRemuera and were making their firsttrip to England were peculiarly fortun-ate in this respect. They had just com-pleted a sea journeyunder ideal weatherconditions, and they landed in Eng-land on a perfect summer day. Thejourney from Southampton under suchconditions is a romakable introduction'to the Mother Country. Last Sundaythe sky was blue, the air was smokelesSjand London was at its very best.

Sir James Parr and his daughter,th. Hon. G. J. Anderson, and a largenumber of other New Zealanders await-ed the boat train at Waterloo Station.The High Commissioner was there towelcome the New Zealand Olympicteam and the farmers' party. >r. A. E.Porritt, the Oxford athlete,'who is cap-taining the Olympic team, but who isnot competing in the Games,went downto Southampton to meet them. Theparty includes Mr. H. Amos (manager)and Mrs. Amos, Miss K. Miller, MissE. Stockier. Miss N. Wilson, Mr. S. A.Lay, Mr. D. P. Lindsay, Mr. &" Mor-gan, and Mr. A, Cleverloy. Mr. L. J.Moorhouse, tho Christclinrch swimmer,is arriving later. Some Press photo-graphs of the team and the High Com-missioner were'taken,and these appear-ed in a number of the London paperson the Monday.

The team then proceeded to the Ons-low Court Hotel, Queeii 's Gate,Kensing-ton, which they are making their head-quarters while in London. They hadhoped tc attend the Derby as a party,but private friends had already made "anumber of engagements for them. In-deed, their first few days in Londonhave been very busy. Mr. Amos hasbeen in touch with the Olympic Coun-cil, the Amateur Athletic Association,the Boxing Association, and a numberof other sports organisations, and onMonday it is anticipated that trainingwill begin in earnest.

The New Zealanders will be in Eng-land for six weeks before they go toAmsterdam. On their voyage to Eng-land they have necessarily been withoutfull training, and it will be some weeksbefore they get into form again. Theyhad a very happy trip to England, andevery one of the team as in the bestof health. ■ . ' ,'; ■.■.,;:

Miss Kathleen Miller hopes to- havear opportunityof attemptingthe Chan-nel. "I know it will not be easy,"she gaid, "and I shall find it hard tofit in the training .with the variousmeetings we are attending 'here, buteven if I 1did not succeed,it would beworth while trying for the honour ofNew Zealand." It will not be possiblefor-_her;to attempt the swim until theend of August^ for, in addition to theGames,the team is taking part in theall-British championships at StamfordBridge next month, the Tail TealihGames at Dublin, and, if possible, theannual British Empire athletic matchagainst the United States.

Evening Post.TUESDAY,JULY 17, 1928.

THE PACT AGAINST WAR

The lalesl reports about the pro-gress of the Peace Pact negotiationstrom London, Washington, and Romerespectively are full of hope. SignorMussolini, who was so characteris-tically emphatic in his rejection ofPresident Coolidge's proposal for aNaval Limitation Conference lastyear, and three months ago was re-ported to be intending to greet thelatest contribution from Washing-ton to the peace of the world inthe same way, has disappointed thepessimists. Announcing Italy's "fullacceptance of the Kellogg Pact," heis to-day reported to approve theinterpretations contained in the re-vised draft issued by Mr. Kelloggabout three weeks ago. The unquali-fied acceptance of Germany, whosealtitude has never been in doubt,had been reported on Friday, mak-ing her the first of the Powers toaccept, as she had been the first toexpress an unconditional approval.Even France, who had started thebusiness more than a year ago bywhat M. Briand had intended to benothing more than an exchange ofgestures with the United Stales,buthad since become the most seriousobstacle to its general application, isnow ready to sign. - All that to-day'sIreport from Washington to this effectrepresents M. Briand to have addedto his acceptance on behalf of Franceis an expression of her "satisfactionthat "the'Treaty would not restrainnations from the right of self-de-fence." What foundation there isfor this satisfaction except in thespeech delivered by Mr. Kellogg tothe1American Society ofInternationalLaw on the 29th April we do notknow.

Answering the fear which theFrench Government had expressedinArticle 1 of its alternative draftTreaty by the qualifying words,"without affecting the exercise oftheir right of legitimate defence with-in the framework of the existingTreaties," Mr. Kellogg said in thatspeech:. .The proposed Treaty does not impair.the right-Af self-defence. , The Stateswhose neutrality has been guaranteedby France could,also sign the.Treaty,and -thus secure its. advantages withoutin. any way impairing France's obliga-tions to such States.What Article 1 ofMr. Kellogg's draftasked the contracting parties to un-dertake wasthat they condemn recourse to war forthe solution of international controver-sies vand renounce it^asjan.'instrument'■of. -national-" -pOlicy in - their*-relationswith one another.We, cannot see. that; the renunciationof warbetween the parties could bemade more absolute. It is a pacifigtsolution of the problem that thisarticle offers—a renunciation notmerely of aggressive war but of allwar, and therefore of a war of self-defenfee.'. Yet Mr. Kellogg hadnohesitationrih laying, and apparentlywithout feeling the need for argu-ment on so elementary a point, thatthe right of self-defence was notbarred, and what is much more re-markable his: "ipse.dixit" was good:enough,fpr'Sir Austen Chamberlain.? Mr. " Eellogg,"" he said in his -re-ply, has made it clear in his speechreferred 'to above that he re-gards the right of self-defence asinalienable, and His Majesty's Go-vernment is disposed to think that on jthis question no addition to the text isnecessary.■■'-"■

Yet Mr* Kellogg will not be person-ally a'party' to the Pact, and what liethinks that the words mean may differfrom what the Senate thinks theymean,or whatthe WorldCourt thinksthey rriean, and certainly seems todiiferfrom what the words actuallydp mean.1■ There was another important pointon which Sir Austen Chamberlaingave a partial support to M. Briand.Article 3 of the French draft pro-iposed that if one party contravenedIthe Treaty the others were to be lib-erated; in regard to it from theirengagements. Mr. Kellogg's com-ment on this proposal was tliat thiswas the-understanding on which hisdraft was submitted, but here theForeign Secretary was unable to ac-cept an understanding as equivalentto an amendment of the Treaty. TheBritish Government was, he said,"not satisfied that if theTreaty stoodalone, the addition ofsome such pro-vision wouldnot be necessary," butin view of Mr, Kellogg's statementhe suggested that the understandingmightie placed "on record in snneappropriate manner, so lhat il mayhave equal value with the terms ofthe Treaty itself." To ask for anamendment of the sacred text mighthavebeen too much, but Mr. Kellogghas compromised with the Frenchcontention"by a reference to the pointin his'revisedpreamble. It is aston-ishing artd distressing to find that,even in going so far as this, SirAusten Chamberlainisbeing charged,not in America'be it said, with show-ing a lack of cordiality and withrisking an -injury to American feel-ings by -being too critical. On theground that the document is not acontract but "a great moral appeal"no less a paper than the "ManchesterGuardian"' actually argued that thesignatories should avoid too precisean examination of its provisions andtrust to one another's good inten-tions. Here is the full context:—

The objection to the French vers-ion is that it defines these apparentexceptions to the general principle withtoo groat particularity. It would des-troy the simplicity of a great moralappeal. The proposal for the renuncia-tion of war is not really the acceptanceof a contractual obligation so much astlio declaration of a principle which theparties to it undortako honourably toobserve. Since it contains no pro-visions of enforcement, and since, each

nation will be the-judge of its ownhonour in interpreting it faithfully,there is nothing to be gained by em-bodyingin the text a miunto examina-tion of tho extent to which it will be,in practice, applied under all possiblecircumstances which may conceivablyarise in the future. To do so would,on the contrary, weaken the force oftho principle- without in any degreestrengthening the right of each nationto decide for itself, when tho occasionarose, how it should honourably ad-just tho "inalienable" rights of self-defence—both its own and those ofother States to whom it may be boundby treaty—with the new obligation torenounce war as an instrument of na-tional policy.

While other more conservativejournals we're advocating in a lessthorough-going way the subordina-tion of common-sense to benevolence,it is startling to find in one of themost radical and internationallyminded of British papers the mostruthless exposure of the possibili-ties of the Pact that we have seen.The "Observer,"it will be remember-ed, speaks of the Pact as fulfilling"the logic of Locarno," but the "NewStatesman" ;of the 26th May takesa different view;

If, it says,'the Pact were accepted asit stands the Locarno agreement^ forexample, would be wiped out. Supposethat the French were to commit an actof aggression against Germany on theRhine—a highly improbable but yetconceivable event—we should be boundby the Locarno agreement to assistGermany,but by Mr. Kcllogg's Pact wewould equally bo bound not to attackFrance under any circumstances what-ever. Take another case: suppose thePact had been signed by the Powersnumed and Italy were to attack Yugo-slavia and seek to annex Croatia, weshould all be bound to maintain strictneutrality in tlic struggle. It is easyto imagine oven greater absurdities.. . . The Japanese, for instance, mightoccupy Pekin without t,iiy possibilityof interference.

Even if the Pact were signed by|every Power and became a sort ofreduplicated Covenant of theLeaguebut without sanctions, the "NewStatesman" regards the prospectiveposition as "hardly less absurd":—

If Columbia and Venezuela went towar, every Power in the world wouldbe automatically freed from its Pactobligations towards those two coun-tries, and ("space" the Monroe Doctrine),could espouse the cause of whichevercountry it deemed 'to be the non-aggressor. Suppose again that Mexicowere to sign. What would Washington 1have to say about it? And supposeChina signed—all foreign troops wouldpresumably have to be withdrawn! ItIis clear, in short, that either this pre-cious Pact lias not been seriously con-sidered atall, or""else"that Mr. Kelloggproposedit with a deliberate tongue incheek. The;first alternative seems themore likely. . .Such criticism from a journal of thefirst rank at any rate helps one torealise that Sir Austen Chamberlainhas not really been guilty of out-rageous action1 in endeavouring tofind out what the Pact means beforeadvising its acceptance unamended.

TOPICS OF THE DAY

Australia's loss of Customs revenueand consequent deficit in tho FederalTreasury.is. one. of the inevitable."':,,and,could,have beeii'foreseenat least ayear-ago. Heavy" importing combined withinflation and overflowing customs, tobo followed by bank restriction' onimportations, and a fall therein, alongwith, of course, a decline in revenue—this process constitutes an economicrotation only too familiar. Whereborrowing. and a high tariff are thopivots of policy, inflation and deflationsucceed each other as day follows night,and neither can boregarded as provid-ing anything in the nature of a sur-prise. Tho fact that a year or soago the Federal Government had somuch customs revenue that it could payliberal subsidies to e*oax the Statesinto 'the." 6ne:b'o'rrowing-ch,annel plan,and could also talk of retiring fromthe income-tax' field, is -in no sensemade incongruous by any of the reve-nue-falls,that have since happened. Assoon as inflation has been sufficientlychecked, bank-pressure "will ease andthe tariff revenue will'return. It istrue that, this mightnot happen if pro-tection were to prove itself capable ofcompletely protecting. But liigh pro-tection 'on the Australian plan neverdoes. Instead, it puts up Australiancosts,1 and then= the imports- flow inonce more. Australian politicians tossa double-headed penny. ' They knowthat if;'they do' not get manufacturesthey get.revenue. < ■ . i

* ♦ # "Parliament will begin to-day the realwork of the session. The House of Re-presentatives has disposed of tho Ad-dress-in-tteply without undue delay, andit is now free to enter upon a morepointed consideration of legislative and|administrative problems./ One of thefirst of these will be Samoa. Much liaahappened in relation .to/the. MandatedTerritory since the last Parliamentarydiscussion,and in the circumstances along debate is likely. We trust, how-ever, that this .will not bo an cxeusofor discursivo' talk. Nothing is to bogained by traversing again tho groundcovered in the debates of last session,or the events of several years back. Themain issue is: how may .peace bo re-stored in tho Islands and a settlemento£ differences effected in keeping withNew Zealand's duty to the NativoSamoans. Parliamentary discussion ofthis question, may "be helpful if it isguided by a sincere desire to sco: har-mony restored, but not if the thoughtof political.party capital is allowed toinfluencethe speakers.

" * .■. *In New Zealand we consider that we

know something of Australia; but inreality we know very little. Melbourneand Sydneywe may know, but few NewZealanders have travelled or studied theconditions further afield. There is avague idoa of big sheep runs and out-back homesteads,an idea derived main-ly from, tho stories of Steelo Itudd andother Australian writers. Yet thishinterland is more.tho Australia thatwo shouldknow if we arc to appreciateAustralian problems as they affect ourown. Wo are indeed most closely affect-ed by tho Commonwealth policy and theshaping of her destiny. In naval de-fence, in migration, and especiallyAsiatic migration, and in tariff mat-tors, what Australia decides is of vitalmoment to us. Sometimes this truth isbrought' homo at points of con-tact—or at points of , conflict—when

wo stand ■ siile -by sido: for theSingapore Base proposal, or when woclash on tho protection of primary pro-duce. In order to develop an harmoni-ous policy we should understand moreof the basic facts upon which Aus-tralian policy is being built.

■"" « «Good understanding , between ■ tho

Commonwealthand the Dominion canbest bo fostered by a regular, inter-change of visits. This being so, thomission from which the New ZealandPublicity Officer has just returned hasmoro importance than the attraction oftourists. The tourist traffic may bechosen as the means of fostering inter-course between the two countries; butthe result will be, we hope, not merelyto show Australians our scenery or toshow New Zealanders the sights of Syd-ney. It will lead to a deeper and morefriendly interest. Of late years theidea has taken hold that the peopleof the two countries are developing ondifferent lines—that New Zealandersare retaining more of their English-nationality while Australians are be-coming different. To some extent thismay be so, because1 there: is a. greatdifference of environment; but ■ theessential. British characteristics remainthe same. . To kcop this ever in mindand to assure constant consultation andco-operation there can. be no bettermethod than regular interchange ofvisits. Formal, official, and sports toursare part of this interchange, but thetourist traffic is another part and notthe least important.

CouncillorJ. Gumming spoke at some lengthagainst the motion to rescind, and Coun-cillor A. Scliolefield was also of theopinion that the pumps should be doneaway with. Councillor V. E. Jacobson,however, contended that the pumps wereno nuisance, but were of benefit. Onthe motion' to rescind being put to thecouncil, it was lost. .''. ;, .'■;'", '\;/',':'Ngauruhoe Active; '■

The fact that ratepayers in the Pe-toneBorough are liable to a 10 per cent,penalty on rates unpaid by 7th Marchlast, was brought out at thePetone Bor-ough Council'meetinglast night. Coun-cillor W. H. Edwards asked if it was afact that about one hundred ratepayers'had been notified, that 10 per cent,would bo added,to their! r^tos for non-paymentby 7th Marcli. sHe had alwaysunderstood that up to 31st March wasallowed, but had been told that thisyear the auditors Were pressing for 10per cent, on all rates not paid by 7thMarch. Was there any legal power toenforce this? In reply, the Town Clerk(Mr. W. F. Sturman) stated that al-though the Borough Council had beenaccustomed to extend theperiod to,the31st, the auditors wereiacting accordingto the law,-,and were quite right in issu-ing instructions for the collection of anextra 10 per cent, after 7th March.Nothing SucceedsLike Success.

At the conclusion of yesterday after-noon's, meeting of' the Moncrieff-HoodFund Committee, Mr. J. Laurensen re-marked that, while the committee wasthankful to those who had contributed,yet one could not be other than disap-pointed at tho lack of interest takenbythe public generally. Had Lieuten-ant Moncrieff.and Captain Hood suc-ceeded in their attempt to fly the Tas-inan Seaall would have been very dif-ferent. Ten thousand people had goneout to Trentham to see them arrive,but when they did not come those tenthousand lost their interest and thoughtlittle of the dependentsof the lost air-men. Street and door-tb-door collect-ing has been really hard work,; andthat, to his mind, showed a lack j>t thereal sporting spirit on the part of thepublic. Mri Laurensen also mention-ed what he considered was areal hard-ship in tho particular case of Mrs. Mon-crieff, senior, .because she was not NewZealand-born she was. not entitled totho old-ago pension until she had beenin tho country for twenty-five years,and would not be entitled to any pay-ment for another nine years. TheMayor, Mr. G. A. Troup, agreed thatthq response from the public had beendisappointing. It was an exompHfi-■cation of ttio old saying, "Nothing suc-ceeds like success." Failure- meantrank failure, with few ready to help;success brought applause, with every-ono ready to.give to tho man who had

I much already. The response had beendisappointing, but tho committee hadachieved something.,A Valuable Institution.

Mention of the work of the Welling-ton Teachers' Training College is made,in the annualTeport of the WellingtonEducation Board. "The report of theacting-principal records ayear of workcreditable alike to staff and to stu-dents. Last year the presentcollege attained its majority. Itwas housed for the first year in the

1Board Building,1 Mercer street; then atThorndon, and now at Kelburn. It ismost pleasing to observe the steady ad-

I vanee of former students to positions ofhonourable responsibility in the profes-sion—clear evidence of the value ofthe institution, and,,as the board woulddesire,a stimulus to the present studentto enhance by well-directed effort thegood name of his college. The board

'congratulates tho threo principals, Mr.IWilliam Gray, Professor Tennant, andhis successor in the Chair of Educa-tion, Professor Gould,with all their as-sociates on their splendid contributionto sound education in this place. It isproper to remark that this success isattained in. spite of certain defects ofaccommodation mentioned in the re-port, and affirmed by the board. 'In-creased accommodation in certain de-partments which arc quite inadequatelyprovided for is the most pressing need'to-day. An additional laboratory for;science work, staff-rooms,and students'common-rooms arc urgentlyrequired toprovide conditions suitable for efficientorganisation.''" TJio total number ofstudents at the college for the past yearis given at 265; 78 men and 187 women.

They will accompany,the American novelist on his fishingcruises in the Islands until December,when they will return with him to theDominion in time for the New Zealanddeep-sea fishing season. Mr. Grey istaking the schooner-yacht Fishermanas far as Tahiti, but it is uncertainwhether he will sail the ship to NewZealand.Frozen Poultry.

The possibilities of buildingup apro-fitable trade with England in frozenpoultry were mentioned by Sir Ben-jamin Morgan, chairman of the Brit-ish Empire Producers' Organisation atAuckland (states tho "New ZealandHerald"). He considered it wouldnot be difficult to displace the Contin-ental trade on the Home market, wheregood prices were being obtained. Thexpense- would not be great as the ma-chinry necessary was at hand in; NewZealand. ,Aid to Better Times., The part the primary producers wereplaying in assisting tho Dominion toovercome the dull times was praised byMr. H. H. Sterling, general managerof railways, in the course Of a shortaddress at a gathering of tho AucklandOrphans' Club on Saturday evening,where he was a guest of honour (statesthe "New Zealand Herald"). Refer-ring to a statement made by the chair-man, Mr. E. Casey, divisional superin-tendent of railways, that the quiet per-iod,was passing, Mr. Sterling said hewished to draw the attention of hiscity friends to the magnificent;;contri-bution,primary producers were makingtoward the work of ''getting round thecorner.'' His experience during thepast three years had shown him thesilent yet effective work being carriedon by the dairy farmers of tho Auck-land province. Mr. Sterling said heagreed with Mr. Caaey that they couldlook for better times in the neat future.Notwithstanding the drought' duringthe past year, the dairy output, of theAuckland province had rather morethan held its own compared with thoprevious .year, when a record wascreated. This proved the capacity ofthe primary producers, who providedthe foundation of Auckland's prosper-ity. :-

Chair from the Aotea-Eoa.While the campaign for funds for the

widows of Lieut. Monerieffand CaptainHood, who lost thoir lives in the at-tempt to fly the Tasman Sea; and themother of Lieut. Monerieff was in pro-gress,two of the cane chairs removedfrom their machine prior to the .take-off were offered by auction. One wassold and resold several times under theauspices of the Wool Buyers' Associa-tion, £240 being obtained in that way,and the chair was eventuallypresentedto Mr. R. G. Anderson, chairman ofthe association, who conducted thesale.The.second chair,found no bidders. Atthe final-meetingofthe fund committee,yesterday,afternoon, Mr;:£|K P,,H. Day-;,idson suggestedthat it should be 'hand'?Ed to the Mayor in recognition of thepart he took in inaugurating the fundcampaign and in carrying it through.The meeting approved, but Mr. Troupsaid "No" very definitely. He feltthat he could not accept the chair, andhe had amuch betterproposal: that wasthat he should hand it, pn behalf of thecommittee,"to Mr* Davidson :forjhe itwas; who had suggested the .auctioningof the first chair by;the Wool Buyorc'Association,.and hadbeen chiefly re-sponsible for the success, of the effort..The meeting heartily approved, and thechair was presented to Mr.Davidson.

"It -had been hoped,"states the report,"that the-reductionin regularity of attendance noticed in1926 would be only temporary, but" acontinuance of the series of epidemicsthroughout last year reduced the per-centage still further. Not since theyear 1920 has the regularity of attend-ancebeen so seriously affected. It wasnot till the last quarter that an ap-proach to normal was reached, whenan increase in the average attendanceof 685 over the September quarter wasrecorded.Drift to the Towns?. The question of the amendment ofthe Counties Act so that no alterationof county boundaries be made exceptat stipulated intervals, was discussedby tho Counties Conference to-day. Aquestion by a delegate as to the effectof such legislation brought to light thefact that the loss of ratepayers tourban areas was at tho root of themove. "You want to stop them nib-bling at your boundaries except everyfive years or so?" asked tho president(Mr. A. E. Jull). "Yes," was the re-ply. The president said he;could hard-ly recommend the conference to adoptsuch a remit at present, when the Gov-ernment had extended the powers oftho Commission inquiring into tho grad-ing of smaller urban areas, and to takeaction which might be anticipating thereport of the Commission was not ad-visable. "The conference," said Mr.JuU, "is sympathetic with the_ countywhich, like a Chinese criminal, is losinga finger at a time,,but we should notprejudice the general law at thomoment.''_

PETONE PROPERTIES

REVALUATION DESIRED

At tho Petone Borough Council meet-I ing last night a letter was receivedI from the Valuer-General, in reply to acommunication from the council, to theeffect that he could give no assuranceas to how soon a revaluation, of thePetone borough could be undertaken.

The Mayor (Mr. D. M'Kenzie) stat-ed that from time to timo applica-tions for a revaluation had been madeto the Valuer-General, and recently hohimself had interviewed that gentle-man. Mr. M'Kenzie expressed him-self as disappointed with the reply re-ceived, particularly as revaluationshave been and are now being made inWellington and Lower Hutt. ThoMayor was of tho opinion that the De-partment should carry out a revalua-tion of the Petono borough in time foriiext year's rating.

On the motion of the Mayor.. thecouncil decided to write to the Valuer-Goneralstressing the xirgent need of a

Irevaluation.

CORRESPONDENCEBIBLE IN SCHOOLS

BISHOP AVEHILL'S DISCLAIMER

(To the Editor.)Sir,—ln your report of a meeting heldin the Town Hall m support of the Bible

iv schools policy, I notice two or threestatements that conveya wrong impres-sion. May I seek your favour in makingthe necessarycorrections? ■

(1) The report states: "The league hadtaken a plebiscite in one part of NewZealand,and the result showed that 81 percent, of the voters favouredthe KcligiousExercises in SchoolsBill, etc.'' Comment:The plebiscite was taken wherever facili-ties,ottered, in Auckland, Wellington,'<Taranaki, Canterbury, Otago, and South-land. It was fairly complete in Auckland,Canterbury, and Southland,and thorough-ly complete in Otago. In Wellington itwas suriiciently widespread to give a de-pendable index of the parents' support.

(2) The report states: "He (Mr.; Blam-ires) also quoted the result of a. votetaken in Otago some years ago,resultingin the following voting: 86.3 per cent, infavdur, 13.7 per cent, against." Comment:This vote is that of the plebiscite takenlast year, 1927,when every parent repre-sented in the primary schools of Otagohad an opportunityof voting. Other-votes■were taken many years ago, but the fig-urea quoted are quite recent. '.■"(3) The report states: "The secular sys-tem . . .had now received the endorse-ment of the parents, etc." Comment: Themeaning conveyed in the address -was thatthe secular system had never receivedthe endorsement of the parents. Possibly"not" being changed to , "now" in thereport is the explanation. \ .'■':]

I; am sure'you will correct tire reportof this public utterance in view;of theinterest in the subject being displayed,and my officialassociation with the move-ment. . ' "■■■.■ i

While on the question of incorrect re-ports of addresses,I should like to ex-press thanks for the publicity given by!your paper to the disclaimer of Arch-bishop Averill,' who lias suffered'> fromnewspaper correspondents' criticisms ofwords he never uttered. In contrast withyour free publicitygiven to the disclaimeris the spirit of Sir Robert. Stout: in hiscomments of Thursday last.- One Wouldhave expected, fair, if .not generous,ex-pressions :in: response to, his Grace's let-■ter. After his Grace had said \ that theaddress.in question was notdelivered withthe Bible in schools platform in. mind,but "to, strike 'a blow, at' .* . . moralapathy" in New Zealand,Sir Robert Stoutrejoins with a special interpretation ofhis ownj applying the apathy to the clergyanp\ describing the address1;as intended bythe Archbishop "to rouse the clergy to theneed of moral action.:. ...they'apparentlyhad been'lax, etc., etc;'V:-.1 -: .■;■,;, !i'";.: 'Then, again,- the interpretation placed',on the Archbishop's words.-when Sir,Rob-ert Stout,contends,:ttiat,,"he' (the|:Arch-bishop) is also, evidently|6f opinion;that the Religious Exercises iar'Schools.Bill'will not be a panacea for. the shock-ing lack of morality, etc.," is unworthy,surely,! of one who occupies the positiondcoujued by 'the-right honourable\gentle--man; " ; '■-".' '■"'" "'"-:-'"' "'""■ " "■":"" ; ,v;;;:

As a matter of "fact,-_thev.Archbishop,_while not speaking definitely at the time*in the interests of Bible in schools,,wascertainly attacking the position of sup-porters of the secular system. ' Theapathyin mind was not that.of the clergyf-how-ever Sir Robert might interpret .thespeech—but,that engendered by defendersof the present secular system, who;"bymaking out that New Zealand is lenjoy-ing a state of moral well-being,.are:creat-ing a false impression. "New'Zealahd, inspite of its many blessings, cannot jaffordto be indifferent or apathetic to certainaspects of our social life, which must bematters of deep concern to every truelover of New Zealand," are his Grace'swords, and the danger of apathy is tobe found in those whose keen desire todefendthe secular experiment of the lastfifty years makes them apparently, blindto undoubted facts, which do not fit inwith .their Swishes. ,W.hy;,has,,Sir,,l|obe|;ti;,'for'..,.example,'.not; quoted, the 'growth; in^serious crime in New Zealand -in 'recent-years when: writing1 in"defence of thesecular system? ; ■ ;'■■

While his Grace may not consider theReligious Exercises in Schools Bill a com-plete panacea for all ills, the fact that hpis president of the Bible in SchoolsLeague proves that one of the leadingexperts in religion and morality, who haslived for over thirty yeais in New Zea-land, is convinced that the secular sys-tem hus been a bad moral investment forthe country.

'might not be satisfied with the degreeof enforcementof the law. Still, theydo not want the law repealing; they donot want the legalised liquor: traffic tocome back; so that Mr. Bankart is againin.error in asserting that the experimentof Prohibition, as seen in.other, countries,is against its introduction here. It isincontrovertible that the interests iof theliquor traffic and the interests of. thenation can never be reconciled; so that itcan bo taken for granted that any Jawwhich limits, cramps, or destroys theliquor traffic will operate in the best in-terests of the community as a wholfi—1am, etc.,

THE SECULAR PLANK

(To the Editor.)Sir,—One of your anonymous corres-

pondents asks a few questions on Biblein schools. Kindly permit a reply.

The Bible, being necessary in schools "asliterature," would I be satisfied, withBible extracts in the school text booksand the school journal?

The proposal of the Bible in SchoolsLeague is to have compiled just such a"school text-book," a manual o£extractstaken without alteration, or paraphrasefrom the Bible, so that in the actual lan-guageof the Bible the school childrenmay read the portions judged suitable totheir age and mental development. TheseBible readings, in the religious exercisesproposed, would be associated with theLord's Prayer and the singing of a hymn,at the opening of the school day, as inthe secondary schools.

A second inquiry concerns the attitudeof Reform members to the command re-garding the SabbathDay.

As the writer is evidently outto makea little capital out of his political' lean-ings, I can leave him to his own deduc-tions. The Bible in SchoolsLeague hasno affiliation with any political party assuch. Support was given by league mem-bers—ofwhom there are between fortyjand fifty thousand definitely pledged to

aid the league with-.th<iir-vote—to.candi-dates of different political parties at thelast election; if the majority, of these wereReformcandidates,the reason is obvious.

A third inquiry concerns the consist-ency of Reform members voting for Biblein schools,and yet supporting the secu-lar plank in their platform. .. y.

Probably it is a case of the plank get-ting a bit rotten, and common-sense hasa way of asserting itself., It should benoted that the word "secular," however,has never been definedin the New Zea-land Act. In New South Wales andWest Australia it is defined as follows:—"The words 'secular- instruction' shall beheld to include general religious teaching,as distinguished from dogmatic or pole-mical theology.!' In.,>thevabsence.,of anydefinition, the politician is free to inaka.his own, even though technically it is quitsdifferent'from ordinary acceptations. IvNew Zealand we often1,speak-of the "pre-sent secular system," and yet the 'pttsenZsystem includes religious exercises in thesecondary schools: It is iiot-an innova-tion in New Zealand, education that theBibje in schools party, proposes, it ismerely the extension " of the:'secondaryschool method to.the primary 'schools.

The last inquiry is about the coincidenceof religious education in New South Wales,and a shortage of Presbyterian "minis-ters. ■'.-■■"-.■■'." -.-■;-■ .. -y,/

BOROUGH RATING

CASE OF RURAL LANDS

"PRESENT SYSTEM UNJUST" -,(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

' ■ FEILDINQ-, lGtti July.A Commission,consisting of MessrsjE. M. Watson, W. T. Strand (Mayor ofLower Hutt), and "W. Nash (of Wei-lington), which has been appointed toinquire into the rating of rural landsin boroughs, opened its sittings to-day;at Feilding, which was taken as atypical-case. Various local ratepayersowning farming areas gave evidence.The Municipal Association was repre-sented by the president, Mr. Rogers(Mayor of Wanganui) and Mr. Tread*well (solicitor). > ■■

The principal statement to-day wasmade by Mr. Thomas Brook, Valuer-General,-who referred generally toboroughs containing rural lands. Therewas a great deal of dissatisfaction iacases where farm lands had been exclud-ed from the boroughs. The ratepayerswere not satisfied, as they were notrelieved of the special rates struck for jloans by the boroughs concerned.

Mr. Brook said that the present sys-tem was unjust, and the problem was tofind a remedy. His opinion Was that,where the areas did not receive thebenefits of those services for which.loans were obtained, they should not borequired to pay specialrates levied. Dif-ferentiation ;was necessary if justicewas to bo done. In some boroughs thefarmers were not receiving the benr,fit3of essential services, and were the bi^gest ratepayers. There should bo abasis of classification., Horecommended the assessors to clas-sify all the properties according to,prac«tical uses for rating purposes.'

(Beeeived 17th July, 10.30 a.m.)LONDON, 16th July.

"Hio Biga correspondent of "TheTimes" states that though itsflebates have not ben publishad,tumult characterised the- nine-daycongress of. the Communist Cen-tral Committee, the Kalinan and By-kofE groups resenting the Stalinists'rural policy. The congress decided thatindividual peasants' farms would bemaintained, tha Soviet not adopting ex-cessive repressions^ but approved stal-in's projected establishment of large. Soviet farms. This is interpreted as a. Stalinist victory.

The Moscow Communist Party hasissued a proclamation to workmen re-garding the sixth congress,stating thatthemost vital problem is the increasingclanger of war from other nationsagainst the Soviet and revolutionary. China, and that therefore the proletar-iat must be acquainted with strategicplans against Imperialists. in defence,the Soviet specially directing attentionto the anti-British movement in India.

British OfficialWireless.BUGBY, 15th July.

Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, .well known forhis missionary work in Labrador andNewfoundland, waa received by theKing at BuckinghamPalace yesterday.

His Majesty conferred upon him thehonour of Knight Commander of theOrderof St. Michael aad St.George. Dr.Grenfell,haa spent twenty-five years inministering to seamen and other in-habitants in wild Labrador, where hewas qualified to act, as occasion de-manded, as missionary, surgeon,mastermariner, and magistrate.

The knighthood which has justbeenofficially conferred on Dr. Sir WilfredThomason Grenfell by the King wasactually gazetted on 30th July of lastyear,"being a tribute'to the valuablemedical services he had " renderedamong the isolated fishermen of Lab-rador. He is almost universallyknownas "Grenfell'ofLabrador," and is themost popular medical'missionary on theCanadian Coast, if not in the wholeworld. Born in 1865, the second son ofthe Revi: Algernon Grenfell,head-master of Mostyn School, he went toMarlboroughy where he won a scholar-ship to Queen'sCollege, Oxford; He■was a fine athlete, and gained a Eugby"blue." Under the influence of theAmerican evangelist Moody, he deter-mined to join the Mission to Deep SeaFishermen; while, on the advice of SirFrederick Treves, whose house sur-geon he was at the London Hospital,Dr. Grenfell equipped himself by anapprenticeship of several years amongthe fishermen of tho North Sea. In-the spring of 1892 he began his workon the Labrador coast; He enlistedthe financial, support of many influen-tial people, includingLord Strathconaand Mr. Andrew Carnegie, and found-ed a ,series, of co-operative stores, anorphanage, hospitals, schools, and num-erous small industrial schemes. In1926 Dr. Grenfell went to England togive lectures and raise funds for theextension of these works. These fundswere used for the extension of certainbuildings,and in July of last year SirWilliam Aljardyce, the Governor ofNewfoundland, formally opened thenew Grenfell Hospital at St. Anthony,in the northern part of the island. Ithas how been completed at a cost of£30,000, largely contributed by gen-erous friends in Great .Britain, and theUnited States. Congratulatory mes-sageswere'read from the King, Prin-cess Louise, vice-patron of the' Gren-fell Mission, and Mr. Monroe, PrimeMinister of Newfoundland. At theclose of the ' ceremony tho Governorannounced that the King, in recogni-tion of Dr. Grenfell's quarter of a cen-tury's labours in Newfoundland andon the Labrador coast, had createdhim a Knight Commander of the Orderof St. Michael, and St. George, whichhonour was officially conferred uponhim during the week-end at Bucliing-h'am Palace by the King.

SELLING A SEATTHE LAMBERT CHARGES

FEDERAL COMMISSION

SUSTAINED BY REPORT

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

(Received 17th July, 8 a.m.)CANBERRA, This Day.

The allegations of the Labourmember of the Federal House ofRepresentatives, Mr. W. H. Lambert,thata safeseat for Mr.E. G. Theodorehad beensecured by bribing a sittingmember to resign are largely sub-stantiated in the report of the RoyalCommissioner,Judge Scholes, re-ceivedby the FederalGovernment.

The report states that Mr. W. G.Mahoney received a large sum ofmoney to vacate his seat in the Fed-eral Parliament in favour of Mr.

Theodore,but there was no evidencethat Mr. Theodore had provided themoney, except an amount of £200,which he gave to the Mahoney testi-monial fund.

Judge Scholes expressed the opin-ion that the amount Mahoney receiv-ed was probably £5000. There wasno evidence that Mr. Anstey wasoffered money to vacate his seat.

The Commissioner also found thatoffersof financial benefits were madeto Mr. Coleman to resign the Reidseat infavour of Mr. Theodore.

The Federal Cabinet will meetearly nextweek,when the report willbe considered. " v

MR. E.G. THEODORE,

SEAT FOR MR. THEODORE

Early in May Mr. -W. Lambert,M.H.R. for West Sydney, declared that,when Mr: E. G. Theodore, the Labourleader in Queensland, was contemplat-ing entering Federal politics and look-ing for a safe Labour seat, an offer of£8000 was made for him (Lambert) toresign his West' Sydney constituency.Ho declined, thougn the ■ offer wastempting. Mr. Theodore was after-wards provided with the Dalley scat,Mr. W. Mahoney making way;for him.Mr. Lambert added: "Now I find thatthe same crowd that offered me £8000has jockeyed me but of the WestSydney Labour selection and I am abeaten man."

Mr. Theodore.' described Mr. Lam-bert 'a statement as too ' grotesque towarrant serious consideration. .

ANOTHER INSTANCE.Next MivGeorge''Cann, former Chief

Secretary in the Lang Government in'New South Wales, declared that Mr.P. Colemanhad.been approached toresign his Eeid seat for Mr. Theodoreon tho promise of monetary considera-tion. ' ,! ..'■"'■ ■■

Mr. Coleman consulted Mr." Cann,who advised' him to decline, saying:"You are not a good Labour man ifyou acquiesce."

Miv Coleman accepted the advice,according to Mr. Cann.

These allegations Mr. Colemftidenied, declaring that Mr. Cann wasprompted' by political rivalry.

Somuch publicitywas given to thesecharges that the Federal Governmentwas compelled to take notice, and thePrime Minister, Mr. Bruce, granted aEoyal Commission to inquire into thematter.' Mr. Theodore- expressed ap-proval of this course* in the Federal.House, i ■ ; > 'Sir Adrian Knox,: Chief of tho HighCourt Bench of Australia, was asked toact as -Royal Commissioner, but de-clined, stating that he thought it inad-visable that a-member of tho Common-wealth Judiciary sftou'ld undertake in-vestigations of this nature.

Tho Prime Minister then appointed

Judge Scholeß,of the New SouthWalesDistrict Court Bench, to act.

EVIDENCE AT INQUIRY.The Royal Commission heard evi-

dence on 11th June and after. Mr.Mahoney denied the allegation that hehad accepted a bribe to resign his seatand said that the money ho had paidfor an hotel at Balmain was the pro-ceeds of an investment at the Mel-bourne Cup meeting in 1926, when hewon between £3000 ana £4000. Hebrought this money from Melbourne innotes, which he had behind old "Han-sards" in a bookcase at his home.

"He kept the news of his winnings tohimself, because when'a Labour manwas known to have money, "lug-biters"became very persistent.

In cross-examination Mahoney saidthat Theodore had never in any wayencouraged him to resign. He addedthat £1250 of the Mahoney testimonialwas his own money,which he put inwhen the testimonial was hanging fireand he did not want'to end his careerwith failure. ' " "Evidence was given by Mr. Lambertand others to the effect that Mr. Theo-dore had never been identified withany offer in,regard to any seat.

MB. THEODORE AS WITNESS.Mr. Theodore himself, in evidence

stated that, on his counsel's advice,he would decline to answer any ques-tions in public as to his private affairs,but he would answer in camera. Hesaid that none of his financial trans-actions had anything to do with Ma-honey or with the purchase of anyParliamentary seat. The only finan-cial transactions were £5 which hegave to the Mahoney testimonial fundand £200 he gave to Mahoney.for thesame purpose.

Next Lambert in evidence declaredthat it was Mahoney Who offered himthe £8000 to give up the West Sydneyseat for Theodore.

Mr. F. Anstey, member for Burke,stated that an offer had been made tohim on behalf of the Nationalist Partyto give up his seat, which the Nation-alists thought they had a good chanceof winning., The,inquiry closed on 28th June.

THE EVENING POST, TUESDAY, JULY 17. 1928. 9

RATE NOTICES

NOW IN THE POSTEFFECT OF NEW SYSTEM

DEMANDS UP AND DOWN

This morning the fli'st of therate demands for 1928-29 went tothe post,' and a few thousand de-lighted citizens arc enjoying the

.reading matter thereon,for is notthe rate -demand always welcome?The correct answer is, of course:"Certainly not!" but actuallythis year some ratepayers. aropleased, while, to balance things upproperly, others aro not. Somedemands are lower tliau those oflast year, others are up. This yearall the demands should be outwithin thenext seven days, sub-urban as well as city.

' The demand presented to the rate-payer covers payments due for cityservices, and the individual's shareof the hospital levy. The City Councilhas no say in fixing this lovy upon thecity, but merely collects it on behalfof the Hospital Board. This yeartho hospital levy'is £4492 above thatof last year, that is, approximately a10 per cent, increase on the totalamount to-be, collected, £429,308. Thecouncil has said, that this year thereshould bo no increase in city rates,and the amount recoverable under thisheading therefore-stands, as last year,at approximately £424,800,but, owingto the change in the rating system asa result of the poll of April, 1927, theapportionment of this sum among rate-payers will differ considerably fromthat of last year. Previously the gen?oral and special rates were assessedupon unimproved values,but the water,street lighting, and hospital were bas-ed upon annual values. Now. all ofthem are based upon land values.

EFFECT OF NEW SYSTEM.The striking of rates is an extreme-

ly intricate business, but the rate-payer does not worry himself greatlyabout intricacies of method and appli-cation; all he wants to know is how hisdemand is going to compare with lastyear's.

The general effect of the new sys-tem will be that where the value ofimprovements (buildings) consider-ably exceeds the value of the land,this year's rates will be lower thanlast year's, but where the value ofthe improvements is lower than, orabout the same as, the value of theland, tho demand this year will behigher than last. This means thatin the case of the average suburbanproperty the rate" will be lower thanfor 1927-28,while the demands in re-spect of"city .properties with old orsmall buildings on highly-pricedland will be higher. „Each ratepayer will work put for

himself justwhat his dift'ereneeis, andit is quite impossible to indicate whatthey are except in a very general man-ner, as above. They lie everywherebetween well-separated extremes, ac-cording to the relationship between thevalue of the land and tho value of the, improvements. Two outstanding dif-ferences in this year's demands ascompared with those for last year maybe cited: (a) Ono case is of a largemanufacturing concern operating wellout of town. The value of the land isunder one-tenth of the value of theimprovements on that land. In thepast, as there;is a dwelling-on the pro-perty, full water rates have been pay-able on the -".annual, value. This yearrates aro payable on the basis of landvalue only, and the result is that thisconcern will rejoice at a rate demandreduction of justover £.600. (b) Theother extreme is the case of an oldbuilding standing in the heart of thecity. Here the land value is justoverfifteen times the value placed upon theimprovements, and the owners of thisproperty will be called upon to payapproximately iEIGO more than lastyear. . ' - .MODERN PROPERTIES BENEFIT.

Case (b) may now bo consideredwith a third type, that of a modernsix or seven-storied building standingin the mid-city area. Last year therates collected.in respect of one suchbuilding—large, but not by any meansthe city's largest modern building—amounted to approximately £ 750. Thisyear the rates will amount to a littleover £600, so that this concern willbenefit by the change in rating systemby roughly £150.> Now, comparing (b) and (c): (b)an old two-storied wooden building,very old, in fact, last year! paid inTates £230 less than (c), an up-to-the-minute concrete structure of sevenfloors, each bringing in substantial re-venue. This year the rates recover-able from the old building are £80higher than for the modern concretebuilding. This comparison is notstrictly typical in that (b) is probablyan extreme case, tand (c) is at leastanoutstanding case, but to a lesser ex-tent the principle applies to many cityproperties. Expressed in another way:therates payable on two adjoining pro-perties, one a tin shed and the othera modern building of seven stories anda basement, standing on land of equalvaluation are the same under the unim-proved value system, whereas, in thepast, as the,special rates—in particu-lar water, since it was the heaviest ofthese special rates—-wero assesed onannual values, the total rate demand inrespect of the modern building wasgreater, for annual value is determinedby the extent of improvements. Wereall rates struck upon annual value, thedemands in respect of the modern build-ing would, of course, far exceed thatupon the old wooden building.

THE SUBURBANITE SMILES.In the case of largo modern build-

ings the demands will generally bedown, always.depending upon tho rela-tionship of land value to improvement'value. The. decreases in the demandsupon owners of suburban dwellings willrange from nothingup to, say, thirtyshillings, but apparently the greaternumber of suburban residential pro-perty owners will find their demandslessened by from 10s to 30s. To makeup for these decreases there must beincreases other than such extreme casesas are instanced above (b), as ownersof properties near, but not actually in,the true city'area will remark oh read-ing their new rate notices. .

Tho arqas. which will probably,>

bemost affected,by such compensating in-creases will be Te Aro Flat, where'many old buildings stand on very high-priced land, Wellington terrace andthereabouts, parts of Oriental Bay andMount Victoria, where land values arehigh, most of Thorndon, parts of theTinakori road area, and other areaswhich border fairly closely upon thshighest-priced mid-city land. Againowners of large sections may notice arise in the demands made upon them.

PAYABLE ON DEMAND.There is a fairly general impres-

sion that the council has no power todemand payment of the year's ratesuntil the last day of the financial year,i.e., 31st March of next year, but that'is quite wrong. Tho rate is payable ondemand,and isrecoverable through theCourts after fourteen day.f. Actuallysuch action is very seldom taken afterfourteen days, for there is a furtherprovision to the effect that tho coun-cil may not impose a 10 per cunt, pen-alty for late- payment until fourteendays and six months have elapsed fromthe date of demand. The ratepayerlias to pay in any ease, and he savestho city as a whole a certain amountof interest charges by paying promptly.

DAYLIGHT SAVING"COME TO STAY"

INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT

ETJKOPEAN POSITION

In England the originator of thodaylight saving scheme,of which the

"principle was incorporated finally inthe Summer Time Act, 1925, was Mr.William Willett, F.R.A.S., who formany years prior to 1908 devdted agreat deal of his energies to advocat-ing the adoption of the system. Mr.Willett's proposals were incorporatedin a Bill which was introduced intothe House of Commons by Mr. RobertPoarce on the 4th February, 1908, andread a second time on the 26th March,and referred to a committee, whichamended it, but no further steps weretaken in that session. A DaylightSaving Bill was introduced in theHouse of Commonsevery year until1914. .

In the spring of 1916 the subjectwas again revived, and on the Bth ofMay of that year Sir Henry Normanmoved in the House of Commons:"That in view especially of the econ-omy in fuel and its transport thatwould be effected by shortening thehours of artificial lighting, this Housewould welcome a measure for the ad-vancement of clock time by one hourduring the summer months of thisyear." This motion was carried by170 votes to 2.

A committee was then appointed toinquire into the social and economic re-sults of the Summer Time Act, 1916,and to consider (1) whether it is ad-visable that summer time should bereintroduced in 1917 " and in subse-quent years.

The committee reported that Dr.Frederick Taylor, president of theEoyal College of Physicians, stated:—"The additional hour of sunlight ordaylight, in the case of those to whomthis is granted by the alteration ofthe clock time, must tend to improvetheir health, from the well-known phy-siological effects of light upon thebiologicalprocesses in both animals andplants. We have devoted particular at-tention to the question'of the effects ofsummer time on the health of children,and we have been glad to find that, inspite of certain statements which hadbeen made to the contrary, the bulkof the evidence (mostly derived fromeducation authorities) favours the con-clusion that in tho case of children alsosummer time has proved a success. .. .

"Taking the whole of our evidence,wo are satisfied that the great bulk oftho working classes are favourable tosummer time, and we are convincedthat they stand to profit by it as muchas, and in many cases more than, anyother section of the community. Wecan unhesitatingly say that the vastpreponderance of opinion throughoutGreatBritain is enthusiastically in fav-our of summer time and of its renewal—not only as a war measure, but as apermanent institution. We recom-mend, therefore, that summer tinreshould be reintroduced."BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND BELGIUM.

The second reading of the SummerTime Bill was carried in the House ofCommonsby 289 votes to 63, and thethird reading was carried without adivision on 17th July, 1925.

By an international agreement be-tween Great Britain/. France, and Bel-gium summer .time comes into forceeach year at the.same" hour iii the three.countries. This has been found import-ant as respects train, steamer services,etc. Summer time has also beenadopted in Holland, Germany, Italy,Spain, and the United States. Theprinciple of daylight saving may there-fore be regarded as a settled part ofthe policy of the leading countries ofWestern Europe. ■"..'..

SAINT OF THE CALENDAR.On the eve of the second reading of

the Bill, the London "Times" statedthe position in the following strikingmanner:—

"By the people at.large failure topass the measure would, in fact, be re-garded not merely as a disappointment,but as a real calamity. ■ For nineyears now they have tested experi-mentally the solid advantages gainedby the increased enjoyment of sun-light and by extended opportunitiesof recreation in the fresh air. .." .In the war we were forced to followthe example of Germany in institut-ing summer time, because we could notafford to give the' enemy the advan-tage of economyof fuel derived fromit without adopting it ourselves. Simi-larly now, in time of peace, it would befolly in the present condition of ourindustries to present this advantageto our commercial competitors inFrance, Belgium, and Germany.' Inthis matter we are part of Europe, andmust do in Europe as Europe does.After a prolonged trial of the prin-ciple, it has been proved over and overagain that its beneficial effects fartranscend in their range its allegeddisadvantages. Never was there aclearer case of a social dilemma inwhich the rather problematical con-venience of the few must give way tothe proved interests of the many.''Oncethepermanency of the principle

is established, as we trust it will be to-morrow, the objections of the dwind-lingminority, who are not yet reconcil-ed to the change will finally vanish..There is not so much sunshine in Eng- iland that the people can afford to dowithout all that can be made availablefor enjoyment. The day must comewhen, one and all, they will gratefully jrevere the memory of the late Mr. Wil-lett as one of the saints of the calen-dar."

IT HAS COME TO STAY."Ten years' trial," says the London

"Times" of 16th J-ly. 1925,"has con-clusively proved tho value of summertime. It has come to stay. In prin-ciple it is accepted with resignation ifnot with enthusiasm,even by the farm-ers and farm labourers. By practic-ally the-whole of tha rest of the popu-lation, with tho exception of some ofthe miners, it is regarded, after a longexperience of its effects, as an undoubt-ed and unqualified blessing. . . .One by one almost every objectionbrought against it has been completelyupset, more particularly the most im-portant of them all—the alleged badeffect which some said it would have onthe health of the n tion's children. Asto this, the testimony of the LondonCounty Council—whic' considers it, ontho contrary, as most advantageous forchildren—and still, more emphaticallyof experienced physicians like SirHenry Gauvain, Dr. Little, the memberfor London University, and Dr. Cox,themedical secretary of the British Medi-cal Association, leaves no room for hesi-tation."

STRONGMEDICAL SUPPORT.In a letter to. Colonel Lambert Ward,

who was in charge of the Summer TimeBill, making tho law permanent, whichwas passed, by the Houso of Commonsand received the Royal Assent on BthAugust, 1925,the medical secretary ofthe British Medical Association wrote:"I am instructed by my association,which is keenly interested in the per-manent recognition of full summer time,to thank you for ail you have cionc inconnection with this important matter.So far as we can ascertain, there canhardly be said to bo insido the medi-cal profession any doubt at to the valueof summer time from <he public healthpoint of view."

Speaking at a deputation to the Un-der-Scerctary for Homo Affairs on 11th

March, Dr. E. B. Turner (British Medi-cal Association), commended the day-|light saving proposal on health grounds.He had never seen .a child suffer theslightest harm from the operation ofsummer time. In many cases it helpedto maintain health, and had an enorm-ously good effect on the health of thewhole communitybygiving the mass ofsedentary workers the chance of recrea-tion out of doors.

Sir William Joynson-Hicks assuredthe deputation that they were "pressingagainst an open door,"and repeated theundertaking he had given in the Houseof Commons. ... It would be veryinconvenient to have conflicting dates.The whole transcontinental traffic wasthrown into confusion because summertime began on one date in France andon another date in England. He wasdetermined, if the Bill went through,to communicate with the Foreign Secre-tary, and see that negotiations wereopened up with France and Belgium toget a summer time fixed as a perman-ent institution for tho whole of theWest of Europe.

Sir Henry Gauvain, the leadingBrit-ish authority on the subject of sunlightand health, put onu aspect of the posi-tion in these words:—"It is not gener-ally appreciated that towards the endof the winter many children are suffer-ing from what may be termed shortly'light-hunger.' It is the spring lightin the morning hours when the air iscloar and cool and the best rays are asyet unable to exercise their antagonis-tic action, that is especially therapeu-tically valuable. If it were possible forme to invite the objectors to the Billto see my little patients at Alton inFebruary and again in May, I ventureto assert that none but the most selfishand callous would persist in their ef-forts to deny these helpless little suffer-ers an aid to recovery which no arti-ficial substitute can effectually replace.I do most earnestly plead, for a gener-ous recognition of the claims of bursick and our children. The country-man who enjoys the sunshine will, I amsure, notbe deaf to such apleawhen herealises what it means to his fellows,even if that generosity involves him insome slight personal inconvenience."

Dr. E. GrahamLittle, M.P., comment-ing on Sir Henry Gauvain's statement,writes: "I welcome Sir Henry Gau-vain's letter as endorsing with his un-equalled experience, the plea I ventur-ed to make in the House of Commonson the Summer Time Bill, the plea for:the utilisation of sunlight foi* the sick,and especially for children.' By astrange irony, the objectors to the Billha,ve based their opposition very largelyon the supposed ill-effects on the healthof children. That argument has beenmany times refuted, and, indeed, all thedata of experience and theory contra-dict it. Nothing is more notable inrecent research work on the biologicalproperties of sunlight than'its effectsupon nutrition and growth. It is evenprobable that sunlight may, for sometime at least, replace the all-powerfulvitamins in stimulating nutrition."

Dr. Little (London University),speaking on the tLird reading of theBill on 17th July, 1925, said that medi-cal opinion was overwhelmingly in fav-our of the Bill. From tho point ofview of^the health and happiness ofthe community, it was one of the mostimportant Bills that had ever been, orever would be, laid before the House.The British Medical Association andthe Society of Medical Officers ofHealth supported the Bill."

PROFITS AND LOSSESDOCKING A WHALER

MAIN HIGHWAYS

COUNTIES' VIEWS

TAXATION & CONSTRUCTION

FINANCIAL POLICY

The policy of the Main HighwaysBoard received some severe criticismsin tho opening address of the presidentof the New Zealand Counties' Confer-ence (Mr. A. E. Jull) to-day.

"As forecasted by me at the lastconference," said Mr. Jull, "the main-tenance subsidy payable by the MainHighwSys Board was increased in1926 from £ for £ to 30s for £1,which was a source of gratification tocounty councils. Au even more im-portant enactment, however, was theMotor Spirits Taxation Act passed lastsession,and which commenced to oper-ate about five months ago, wherebythe proceeds of a tax of fourpenee pergallon on motor spirits has been madeavailable to local authorities, 8 pergent. to cities and boroughs with apopulation of ,6000and over, and 93per cent, to the Main Highways Boardfor further assistance in the construc-tion and maintenance of main high-ways.- -■...;

ALLOCATION OF TAXATION."There is no statutory provision as

to the manner in which this large in-crease of funds is to be allocated bythe Highways Board, but the board hasset out on a programme of distribu-tion which is calculated to bring muchneeded relief;firstly by the declara-tion of some 3400 miles- of additionalor secondary highways to which assist-ance in maintenance will be afforded tocounties; secondly, by granting a great-er measure of assistance to countiesnear large centres of population to-wards a higher type of road construc-tion. Thirdly, to assist in the work ofconstruction and maintenance on theoriginal main highways. A furtheramount will be utilised in assistingsmall boroughs on their expenditureon continuation of main highwaysthrough such boroughs which previous-ly was dependent upon what the ad-joiningcounty expended,and a sum willbe set aside for sinking funds on loansraised for the board andthe loan rais-ing expenses. 'CASE NECESSARY.

"The inauguration of programmesofwork throughout the Dominion to util-ise this new revenue calls for a greatdeal of attention and caro by theboard, and it is very desirablo that

"county councils should assist the boardin getting their proposals for construc-tion under way. The board's policyhas boon to give greater subsidies tocounty councils when its funds will per-mit, and I trust that such funds maybe found able to bear a further gen-eral increase in maintenance subsidy;that, however, is a matter for legisla-tion. May I add a remark on the ad-vantage to county councils which hasresulted from the > Highways Board'spolicy of financing the purchase bycounties of road-making machinery;the board finding tho money andspreading the repayments over fouryears. A total of about £90,000 hasbeen found in this way, and thq'.bene-fits of such machinery is reflected inthe improved and more economical up-keep of both main highways aud countyroads. A number of remits on-variousaspects of Main Highway administra-tion will engage your attention.

VOLUNTARY CITY HELP."A phase of highway construction

assistance, which I have urged sincemy return from England and America,relates to the recognition of the lia-bility of cities and large towns to-wards assisting counties in road con-struction. It is manifest that greatand increasing advantage accrues tothe large centres of population from theroad improvements now proceeding,and we have this year evidence of arecognition of this. To quote two orthree instances of voluntary help bytowns: The city of Wanganui hasagreed to find £6000 of the rural localbodies' share of the cost of metallingthe road from Eaetihi towards Wanga-nui. The city of Nelson has agreed tofind nearly.one half■ of the county'sshare of the cost of considerable roadimprovement between Nelson and Blen-heim. An even more striking inst-ance of recognition of good roads to atourist resort is seen in the gift of£1000 by the business people of Eo-torua, towards the speedy completionof the Mamaku bush road. No betteruse of the cities' share of the petroltax could be urged than the extensionof such assistance to their over-burdened neighbours in adjacent coun-ties. . 'HEAVY TRAFFIC FEES.

"A matter requiring immediate at-tention by . the conference is someamendment in the method of distribu-tion of .heavy traffic license fees. Iwarned the last conference that themethod "of distribution was likely toresult to tho disadvantage of the coun-ties, but it is worse than I expected.I have not the figures for the lastyear, but for the year ending March,1927, the total fees received by thelocal bodies was £220,616 (or £32,000more than the Highways Board receiv-ed in the same year from tire tax).Of this sum of £220,616 the boroughsand towns secured £140,797, while thecounties only received £79,819; inother words, the towns got about 64per cent, and the counties about 36 percent. These figures take no account ofdrivers' licenses, of which the towns

received about 58§ per cent. It doesnot require much consideration to seethat the effect of heavy motor trafficalong a few miles of highly construct-ed city streets, which required to beso constructed even for horse traffic,is not comparable to the damage evena few heavy motor vehicles per daywill do upon thousands of miles ofcounty roads. May I suggest that the

conference set up a committee to actwith some of tho executive in consider-ing this matter.DISTRICT COUNCILS' FUNCTIONS.

"There is one other matter uponwhich the conferencemight give someattention, that is whether the districthighway councils cannot be madegreater use of in connection with ourhighway administration. Some dis-trict councils are active, some are, Iam afraid, rather perfunctory, probablybecause of their limited functions.Will the conference set up a commit-tee to consider what alterations mightadvantageously be made in districtcouncils' functions? Could such abody of county representatives beasked to consider such matters as theamalgamation in some cases of someof the counties within their group, thespower, say, of- engaging an engineerspecially qualified to deal with thehighways for such a group of counties,or could it be asked to act as a mediat-ing body when riding finance or boun-daries sometimes raise domestic in-equalities in a county? We haveeighteen highway districts. The coun-cils ftre composed of experienced men,and any well considered recommenda-tions from'such a body would, I amsure, be of value."

HOKIANGA TRAGEDY

NO TRACE OF VICTIMS

CAREFUL SEARCH OF COAST

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

AUCKLAND, This Day.The "Herald's" special reporter

telegraphed last"1 night from Kohu-kohu: " ;

There is no sign to-day of the hull ofthe Isabella de Frame, which waswrecked on the Hokianga Bar late onSaturday afternoon. Parties of search-ers patrolled twenty miles of wild,rugged coast to-day from the northhead of the harbour to Whangape,vainly looking for the bodies of theeight men who perished. A little morecargo has been washed , ashore sinceyesterday, and oil mixed with petrolforms patches on the beach. Iron tanksaboard the schooner held about 6000gallons of oil.

No launches have yet left Hokiangato search off the coast, as conditionsare not favourable. Four miles northof tho entrance to Whangape Harbour,which is about twentymiles from thescene of the wreck, more wreckage hasbeen found. In a rowboat, Mr. Carrol,Offieer-in-charge of the Customs De-partment at Whangape, went along thecoast this afternoon, and a variety ofcargo from the schooner tras found.

The sea was less than yesterday, butbreakers rolled on tho bar.

One or two life jackets have beenpicked up, but no clothing or per-sonal effects have been seen. 'Proof that the schooner was sea-worthy and lent herself to easy man-agement is found in the fact that re-cently she negotiated the bar at Manu-kau Heads after her rudder had beenlost. Six weeks ago she crossed thebar at Hokianga en route to Manukau.While off Kaipara Heads next morn-ing her rudder was carried away, butlater, balanced by her sails, she. suc-cessfully crossed the Manukau Bar and,sailing down the harbour, anchored inCornwallis Bay. The following dayshe proceeded to Onehunga Wharf,'where she berthed. All"this "■was ac-complished without a rudder.

A HEAVY LOSS.The wreck of tho Isabella de Frame

represents a loss of over £4000 to theowners, ,A. G. Frankham, Ltd. Theschooner was insured in the office ofthe Hartford Company for £1750, butthe owners Btate that this was not athird of her value. Shecost her own-ers £6000 to commission,and had onlybeen in the trade five years.The vessel carried a small mixed car-go of between 50 and 60 tons. Theunderwriters in Auckland have advisedthe owners that there was very littleinsurance on the cargo, so that the ma-jority of people who had goods aboardwill be heavy losers.

HEENEY'S CHANCES

DETAILS OF TRAINING

MAY KNOCK TUNNEY OUT


GISBOENB, This Day."If the battle goes: past the tenth

round Heeney stands an excellentchance of knocking Tunney out." Thisis the considered opinion of. CharleyHarvey, Heeney's manager. This isthe first expression of opinion that has_come from what is referred to asHeeney's board of strategy. First-hand information of the progress ofthe New Zealander'3 training opera-tions has been received by wireless byMr. Ivan O'Meara from A. F. Sise,anAmerican amateur, who also quotesfrom a letter he received from JackHeeney, who with the other brothershas joined Tom's camp.

"With only twelve days before thebig day when Tom will battle at theYankee S.tadium,we are all getting alittle excited," wrote Jack Heeney toMr. Sise on Saturday. "It makes nodifference to Tom, however; he justgoes on in the same old way. He hasbeen taking things fairlyeasy,l but to-day did his work in the open for thefirst time. He sparred three roundswith a giant named Ealf Smith, whostands 6ft s}in and weighs 15st 101b.He also sparred three i-ounds with PaulSwederski, doing what was probablyhis best work-out since he startedtraining. It .has been a wonderfulthing-to my brothers and Ito see theelaborate training arrangements, andwe find it hard to realise just how dif-ferent a boxer Tom is to when we lastsaw him. For to-night five huge elec-tric lights of one thousand watts eachwere erected over the outdoor ring,and one hundred people gathered toapplaud Tom's efforts. The idea ofworkin in the open was to" get himused to the power lamp that will beused on the night of thefight.;

"Tom has been very pleased to haveus with him, but of course is complete-ly wrapped up in his work. I askedhim what he was going to do afterthe fight,but he only grinned, and saidthat there was time enough to thinkof that when the fight wasover."■

' Further light on Heeney's trainingactivities is revealed in thefollowing|dispatch from the "Boston Herald"on Sunday morning, which was alsotransmitted by Mr. Sise:'"ln the deep-ening gloom of the night,with automo-bile headlights flooding the scene,Heeney went back to his traininggrindIlast night after loafing for 24 hours.The challenger boxed in .an outdoorring under the flaro of special lights inthe. presence of a small crowdfrom Ithe neighbourhood. Heeney skipped,shado\v boxed, and punched the bag inan old barn, where the spectators be-gan to gather shortly after dusk. Af-ter the New Zealander had finishedhis Bag punching a heavy robe wasthrown over his glistening shoulders,and he elbowed his way through thecrowd into a field where an outdoorring had been pitched. Several changesare tobe mado in his staff of spar-boys.'Starting to-morrow, Osk Till, a middle-,weight, who once trained with Tunney,will join the crew. Harvey, Heeney'smanager, also plans to bring a fastlightweight into the camp to speed up"Honest Tom'? in the remaining fewdays of-his training. Jay Lawless,the Newark light-heavyweight, will alsojoin the sparring staff. Bosy Eoutot andJack Dessmoz departed last night.\ "The first expression of Opinionfrom one of Heeney's board of strategyconcerning the New Zealander's chanceagainst Tunney came from Charlie Har-vey last night on his arrival in campafter an absence of several days. 'Ifthe battle goes past ten rounds," saidHarvey, 'Heeney stands an excellentchance of knocking Tunney out. Tun-ney has had only two fights in threeyears and both against the same manand over tenround?., All .Tomfafights in the last five years, exceptthose in this country, have been overfifteen or twenty rounds. We knowthat Heeney can go the rounds andkeep up his strength and speed, butthere is some doubt concerning whatTunney can do after stepping throughten rounds at a fas'clip.'",;.

THE SECOND TESTNEW ZEALAND TEAM

PLAYERS IN TRAINING

HARVEY'S ILL-LUCK

Special to Press Association.(Received 17th July, 2 p.m.)

JOHANNESBURG, 16th July.The New Zealand Selection Commit-

tee has chosen eighteen players to trainfor the second Test match witn SouthAfrica, to be played at Johannesburgon Saturday. The selection is as fol-lows:—. Full-back: Lindsay.

Three-quarters: Grenside, Carleton,Rushbrook, Robilliard.

Five-eighths: Nicholls, Strang, John-son.

Half-back: Dallcy.Forwards: Stewart, Swain, Hadley,

M. Brownlie, Alley,Finlayson, Hazlett,¥< Williams, and Ward.

The team will go to Orange Grove,a quiet suburb of Johannesburg, wheretraining will be carried out until Thurs-day. '

Harvey's bad luck on the tour is phe-nomenal. When ready to train again hecontracted influenza.

FEW CHANGES

THE TEST TRAINEES

(By "Drop-Kick.")It appears from the cabled message

that the New Zealanders have alreadyarrived in Johannesburg from Rho-desia in order to have a better chanceof training for the second Test thanwould have been the case by,keepingto the original travelling programme.The official itinerary provided for de-parture from Bulawayo yesterday andarrival at Johanensb1 -g to-morrowmorning, leaving the tourists with littletime for final preparation for the Test.

Inchoosing.eighteen players the NewZealand Selection Committee(has adopt-ed the same policy as for the first Test.There are some changes in the!actualselection. In the cr.se of the first Testthe .three-quarters were finally selectedbefore the period of special training,but this time Rushbrook is also includ-.Ed,and in the light of his good showingin all matches in which he has playedhe mightwell be given a chance in thisTest in place of one of the otherthree-quarters, all of whom were unfortunatein breaking down during the first Test.The, five-eighths who trained for theDurban Test were Strang, M'Gregor,and Johnson,and it is satisfactory tofind that Nicholls is now in the finalrunning for a place, M'Gregor beingdropped. Dalley and Kilby were bothtrainees at Durban, but the team is nowleft with only one half-back owing toKilby's unfortunate mishap. As pre-viously suggested,* however, Strangshould be able to give Dalley relief,since he has had previous experience asa half-back. It onies as a surpriseonce again to find Lv s out of consid-eration for the Test team.

The forwards traini-ig for the secondTest are tho same as those selected forspecial training at Durban, with the ex-ception that Scrimshawis dropped and,Ward now finds a place. Stewart is, nodoubt, sorted out for the wii."g-fbrwardposition. The hookers are Swain andHadley, and the middle-row M. Brown-lie, Alley,and Finlayson as in the firstTest. The two back-rankers will comefrom Hazlett, M'Williams, and Ward.

Although the team has travelled 2575miles by train since he last Test andhas had only a match per week, itshould be well fitted for next Satur-day's Test.. , While the All, Blacks .were,generally considered to have their':bestchance of success in the Test;at Dur-ban, it is anticipated that they will givean improved performance on Saturday.They are heavily handicapped, but theycan be depended upon to make amightyeffort to make honours easy.

NOTES ON THE TOUR

INTERESTING LETTER ..:,.

"The wonderful line-kicking of theplayers here is going hard against us,",states a member of the All Blacks'party in the course of a letter receiv-ed in Wellington. "In the game welost with Capetown, the opposing backsgot all the ball and found touch allthe time until they were down on ourline. They never open up the game4until they are within striking distance.However, when our players get properlyfit, and used to the conditions here, it.should be a different story. All theteams go into camp a few days beforewe arrive; so you can see what we areup against."

The writer states that since theirarrival in South Africa the All Blackshad had a wonderful time. They en-joyed the three days in Durban, butthe train journey to Capetown was abig strain on them, and they did notfeel very much like playing footballwhen they arrived. In the secondmatch of the tour, won by Capetown,the All Blacks had "all the rottenluck imaginable, but were fairly andsquarely beaten on the day." Theforwards, the writer continues, lackedthe condition to produce those greatpassing bursts for which they arefamed. They were beaten in thescrums, and consequently the backswere starved. Lance Johnson, it isstated, played a fine,game, and lookedcertain for a place in tho Tests.

The team was given a wonderfultime during the week spent in Cape-town. Autograph hunters were out infull force, and it was nothing to Beefrom 40 to 50 youngsters waiting out-side tho hotel to get signatures fromthe players. The team left Capetownon a Monday for Kimberley,where they arrived on Tuesday nightand played on "Wednesday. "We visit-ed the diamond minos," states thewriter, "but they were not too keenon throwing them away."

The players who had not had a gamewere given their chance at Kimberleyin tho match against Griqualand West.The ground was like Tinakori road,tho writer remarks, and there was notablade of grass on it. The All Blackshad a very hard game, but were eas-ily more than nine points the betterteam. From Kimberley the team wentto Johannesburg, leaving on Thursdayand arriving next day. It was antici-pated that the game against Trans-vaal would be a very hard one, andpublic opinion favoured the Transvaalside.

CAST-IRON QUOTAA BETTER METHOD

PICTURE .EXHIBITORS' AIM

EILM BOARD OE TRADEOn behalf of New Zealand pic-

ture exhibitors it is claimed thatthey are Empire-minded, and thatif they are not bound too closely byquota restrictions -'(enabling Ame-rican distributors of British, films toexploit,the New Zealand market)they will develop in due course abigger and better British factorin moving picture programmesthanthe quota itself aims at.On Friday last, at the Society of Ac-

countants' Rooms, the half-yearly con-ference of the New Zealand MotionPicture Exhibitors' Association tookplace, at which were present theatre-owner delegates from all over New Zea-land. Mr. O. N. Gillespie, acting-prest-dent, was in.the chair, and the mainbusiness of the meeting was the con-sideration of the proposed Governmentlegislation on the British quota and.kindred matters. Itwas stated that theassociation comprises some four hun-dred and fifty theatre members,and ispracticallyonehundred percent, strong.The Dominion executive, Messrs. W. E.Kemball. A. M'Curdy, L: QuinJH.Waters, H. W. Shortt, Beaumont Smith,and E. Morse, and the Dominion secre?tary (Mr. Robertson) were in'attend-ance.

THEATRE-OWNERS' VIEWS.The acting-president, interviewed

subsequently, said that it was with somereluctance that any statement of theconclusions come to by the conferencewas issued, as the Bill in its presentform is admittedly a tentative produc-tion, copied largely from the BritishBill, and, by arrangement, circulatedlast session so that its difficulties couldbe considered by the New Zealanderaaffectedby it;The conference,however,came to a unanimous decision on thewhole series of problems raised bythe Bill, and that decision will'be re-duced to the form of a memorial forsubmission to the Prime Minister.''Some of the. lately-appearing hastyand ill-considered criticism of the Billis, to be deprecated," said the acting-president, *'but one must remeniberthat, in an association as large as this'one, there must be varying viewpoints,and that New Zealand has been success-ful in developing in some places abrand of provincialism quite as narrowas anything in older lands.

The preliminary observation tomake,about the moving picture busi-ness in New Zealand,,is that-thereis not hero any foreign ownership oftheatres, the whole control of tho-showing side of the business being iathe hands of New Zealanders. Nor.■ is there any tendency to monopoly.The distribution side, however, ismostly carried on by, branches .of

1 American companies, but there .areseveral healthy locally capitalised:;concerns, two of them British filmcompanies.

The main objections to the Bill in itsincidence upon the New Zealand theatreowner are two:—(1) It sets up far too costly and cum-

brous legislative machinery toreach its objective.

(2) The compulsory quota in its pre-sent form will in all probability.

''.-'defeat the very purpose aimed at.'-■-by its-sponsors; :{.~:~~

It is to be remembered again that theBill itself is to be subject to the re-port of a Select. Committee,and is, inits present form, merely an empiricaldraft. Still, its leading provisions may; ,be justly considered.

MSTRIBUTION-GMP OP THEAMERICANS.

"We exhibitors realise that, consid-ering the enormous extent and intensityof the influence wielded by the motionpicture, there are questions of Imper-ial commeroe and national prestige thatoverride business interests. Yet itseems to us that the advantages de-sired for British film can be securedwithout setting up the huge engine of:regulation and whatnot, and the seriesof returns and calculations required bythe Bill. Like many other' businessesIn-New Zealand, we have already full-libraries ol regulations to abide by, andcan do with a spell.

"To understand the quota provisions,one must apprehend the system of filmdistribution obtaining in New Zealand,and in Britain.

The major portion of distributionin both countries is handled bybranches of the large American com-panies. These latter are identical in.each country.

'The British Bill-(of which this is large-ly a copy) was set up to foster thepro-duction of British pictures. For manyyears, at any rate, there will, for obvi-ous reasons, be no production of NewZealand pictures. The automatic effect,however, of increased British produc-tions of merit will be to bring them.here. Every British picture of showr,able standard has in the past been,shown in New Zealand, and, indeed, itwas found, when the matter was con-sidered at Home, that we in New Zea-land had shown a much larger percent-age of British pictures than thefoiks iaEngland itself.

" "The practical difficulty resides inthe fact that the compulsory quota tobe shown by the theatre owners forcesupon them a compulsory market. Al-though there are some independent com-panies, the American offices,being re-quired to fill their English quota atHome,will handle a large share of Bri-tish product*

British producers for business reas-ons always sell if possible to an Ame-rican distributor, e.g.,'TheFlag Lieu-tenant "and 'Mons' this year wereboth handled by American offices,al-though local companies tried to getthem. Having a compulsory market,all the film companies, British aridotlierwisee,will take a business viewof tho situation, and where possiblebuy as cheaply as possible. Underthe present Bill any fihn companycould buy a picture for a couple ofhundred and charge us two thousandfor it. The safeguards provided inthe Bill are" unworkable.

It is hopeless for a small showman in adistant country centre to appeal againstan exorbitant film rent or a bad sub-ject.REACTION ON BRITISH PRODUCT.

"It is easyto sco that the very prin-ciple of compulsion is almost inevitablysure to result in the showing of poorBritish product, thus doing irreparable,damage to the cause of British film. Anuneconomic interference such as this i»the ordinary cause of business can onlybe justified by its complete success inreaching its Imperial objective.

''We are going to suggest that a filmboard of trade be set up, with powerto make regulations on such matters asthe quota, but only when they areshown to be necessary. We have ourown machinery to effectuate the show-ing of the proper quantity of British 'film, and will probably do better thanif regulated by Parliamentary action.

"The matter is, however, still subjudice, as it were, but we have aniploconfidence in the sense of fair play ofour legislators, and wo are simply NewZealanders (notoriously claiming to bemore British than the British) askingfor reasonable treatment. Wo know no-thing from the Prime Minister, or anymember of the Cabinet, that leads ustosuppose that uc will not get it."

Mr. D. G. Sullivan (Avon) asked theMinister of. Lands whether it would bepossible for-rents from Crown .tenantsto be collected in March and Septem-ber instead,of January and July.

The Hon. A. D. .M'Leod replied thatthe matter had been looked into previ-.ously. There' were difficulties in theway. The,endeavour was to spread thework of theDepartment over the wholeof the year instead of concentrating itinto one period.

The cate-chism had been published in the"Auckland Star" on Saturday last, butthe circular had reached him (the speak-er) at the end of last yeai-. Apparent-ly it had reached London and had beenwirelessed to the "Christian ScienceMonitor, "and now there .were com-ments coining from various parts of theworld regarding the matter. The wholething was calculated to inflict much dis-credit on New Zealand and would dono good whatever.

The Prime Minister (the Right Hon.J. G. Coates) replied that the Govern-ment had no knowledge of the docu-ment. The newspapei had not cor-rectly conveyed the point of view ofthe Government.

Mr. Holland: "I car assure you thatit was issued by the Administrator."

Mr. Coates said inquiries would bemade into the question, and he wouldtake an opportunity of advising theLeader of the Opposition later as to theposition, i. ...

That unemployment has practicallydisappeared among the primary schoolteachers in thi Canterbury and Welling-ton districts is shown by a letter re-ceived by the Canterbury EducationBoard from tho Wellington Board ask-ing for a list of names and addressesof trained and certificated teachers, ifany, who are at present unemployed inthe Canterbury district, and wlu arewillingto accept intermittent temporarywork under the Wellington Board.

"We have to reply that we havqnone to send them," said Mr. C. B.Kirk, secretary of the CanterburyBoard, yesterday. "In fact, just latelywe have had 'to avail ourselves of theservices of student teachers and ofthose who haveretired to fill temporarypositions."

THE SESSION

GETTING TO BUSINESS

PREPARING FOR BUDGET

Tlig Parliamentary session is now inits third week, and the Address-in-Beply Debate having concluded,a startwill bo made to-day with the first realbusiness for which members were call-'ed together. After to-day GovernmentBills will appear on the Order Paper,and it will "then be possible to get thewheels of the legislative machine inmotion. So soon as the House of Be-presentatives gets its first ; batch ofBills through the Legislative Councilwill have some work to go on with. TheCouncil meets to-morrow for the firsttime for some days, but so far thereis very little for it to do.

Each day now the Government willendeavour to present as many Depart-mental annual reports as possible inorder to have''matters, well forward forthe consideration of the Estimates afterthe Budget is brought down, and theFinancial Debate is disposed of. As itis generally anticipated that the ses-sion will be a short one, not longer per-haps than the end of September or thefirst week in October, the FinancialStatement may be expected to appearwithin the next three weeks. It al-ways takes several weeks to get theEstimates agreed to, and if the sessionia really to be a short one, then thepresentation of the Budget cannot betoo long delayed. Of course, the dura-tion of the Financial Debate can neverbe forecasted with accuracy. Therewas one session when it collapsed onthe second day. During the Address-in-Eeply there has been some measureof criticism and defenceof the Govern-ment's financial operations, and mem-bers may not feel inclined to go overthe same ground again, although thisbeing election year few opportunitiesof appealing to the electors are likelyto be lost.It is not expected that the Budget

will contain many surprises, nor that I:will afford much indication of a reduc-tion in taxation. Tax remissions thisyear are not likely to be made to anyspecial interests, such as the smallerracing clubs, for instance; as it is ar-gued that this would entail makingre-ductions of a general nature. The Bud-get will doubtless say what furthermoney is to be allocated for State ad-vances, the Minister of Finance havingstated in the House of Eepresentativeson Friday that it was intended to pro-vide further funds for the Office, butnot by way of special loan; ;

SCHOOL CHANGESPRESENT SALARY SCHEME

'.'The board is becoming increasinglyconcerned regarding the frequency ofstaff changes," says the annual reportof the Wellington Education Board,''and from the reports received fromother districts there is no doubt thatthe trouble is genera] throughout theDominion. The consensus of opinion isthat the present salary scheme,based.as it is, on average attendance and po-sition, instead of on efficiency and ser-vice, is largely responsible for the in-stability now in evidence. In the cir-cumstances the board urges the Depart-ment to consider, at the earliest mo-ment, the introduction of a system thatwill remtve the disabilities from whichprimary education is at present suffer-ing. As to the work of its teachers,the board is pleased to find its opinionconfirmed by the report of the inupec-tors, who remark: :The board and De-partment are to be congratulated onthe spirit that animates the staff as awhole. In performance cf their dailyduties they jxo keen to prove them-selves efficient both in the internal andthe external activities of the schools.Beyond school hours an enormousamount of time is given to fosteringovganised games and sports. This isdone in the full belief that such workforms a valuable and essential part ofeducation. A personal interest in thepupilsalso makes anything that contri-butes to health a matter of importance.Wo have cause to believe that in theless measurable results the schools areoperating successfully.'"The report mentions the "LivingFlag" presented beforo the Duko andDuchess of York, tho sports gatheringsof the year, and the swimming carnivalat Wellington, as threo very fine in-stances of successful co-operation andexcellent for discipline on which thestaffs of schools were entitled to claimtho greatest credit,

The sys-tem whereby population is totally dis-regarded in the computation of leviesto provide that same population withsustenance, nursing medical service,and charitable aid, is absolutely inde-fonsible. The principle is bad, and itonly shows how difficult it is to moveGovernmentsto remedy an unjust sys-tem, when the remedy may be againstthe financial interests of those whohold the voting strength. Personally,I dc not consider the remedy is to se-cure from the Government a greatershare of'the cost of hospital administra-tion, but to rearrange in a more equit-able manner the contributions fromlocal authorities who are the greatestrecipients of the more elaborate activi-ties of hospital boards (because oftheir closer proximity) should not con-tribute a greater share of the cost,which in time mightcurb some of theexpenditure now so lightlyindulged inby some hospital boards.

MINISTER'S ADDRESS.The Hon. A. D. M'Leod, Minister of

Lands, who was greeted with applause,spoke of his own' long association withcounty councils. It was over twentyyears since he had first taken part intheir conferences, and yet, lookinground, he saw present many of thosethen present, including their president.It would be most interesting to lookback through the laws and discussionsof 1876 and to noto how far-seeingtheir deliberations were. Conferencesthen were usually prefaced, and forthat matter, closed, with a prayer forassured finance. He rememberedstanding beside the president whenhe called for some system which ,wouldget' public works expenditure awayfrom its then vicious system, and hebelieved that the Prime Minister, whenlater on he took over the important po-sition of Minister of Public Works, didmore than any other man in puttinggrants and public votes to counties ina more assured position.

The Minister referred to" the thous-ands of men working in tho interestsof the country on' county councils, andtc the thankless nature, to a largeextent, of that work. Attempts hadbeen made from time to time to putthe necessary county work on a betterbasis. Amendments had been madeto the regulations in ,regard to trav-elling expenses last year. It would begoing too far to say that these amend-ments were entirely satisfactory, butthere had been a determined attemptto better the position. If anyene inNew Zealand was not getting an ade-quate return for services to the countryit was the people of the county coun-cils.

HIGHWAYS LEGISLATION."I know that the legislation last

year in regard to highways has notgiven satisfaction, and it will not doso for some time. It is realised thatthe legislation has many weaknesses,but a start has been made, and thehighway legislation is functioning ina manner satisfactory to the greatbulk of tho people of this country. Ithas brought about an extraordinaryimprovement of tho roads in the lastfow years. I travel a greatdeal, and I can confidently saythat we have a roading system mostcountries of the world would be veryglad too have. Parliament is alwaysready to listen to representationsmade by conferencesof this kind. Per-haps the one thing doing most to causedissatisfaction in the highways legis-lation is that of riding accounts. Ibrought the matter up fifteen yearsago, and very nearly got shoved outof the chair.. To-day I believe that inthat country (Featherston) they havecarried a unanimous resolution thatriding accounts be done away with, ifthe law will permit of it. That willcome.

"Highways legislation and the motorcar have broadened the minds of peo-ple, and we do not hear so much from"Brown" about the insufficiency ofmetal on his own bit of road. Ridingsthemselves feel that they are not get-ting enough benefit from withiD thocounty, and if a flat rate were struck,and riding accounts done away with,it would do much to relieve the dissat-isfaction."

The Minister, referring to the ques-tionof union of counties,said that thiswas a thing that could not be forced.Town planning, of course, did not af-fect counties to a great extent, butadvantage should be taken, in view ofthe extension of population, of theservices of the Town Planning Direc-tor in regard to roads likely to be af-fected by extensions.

"Speaking as Minister of Lands,"said Mr. M'Leod, "Ithink this countryrequires a great deal more.subdivisionof land than it has at present.

_But

to call for the chain-wide road in allland, especially on land worth £100an acre, is not in tho best interests ofthe country. Many comparativelysmall farms of good land are being sub-divided amongst sons of farmers. ThoGovernment has under considerationthe placing of legislation under thePublic Works Act allowing the eounty concerned in such cases to have dis-cretionary power in that direction. Iam satisfied that county councils couldsafely be trusted with that legislation.While we must set our faces,againstnarrow roads in counties, it can besafely left to the counties. In thecase of the smalle? subdivisions, morosubdivision can be done by means ofnarrow roads than under our presentsystem."

The Minister hoped the conferencewould "prove fruitful. The Govern-ment* was anxious to assist in thoframing of better legislation foi theadministration of county work. Accessto farms, with means of conveying fer-tiliser and materials cheaply, had a',great bearing on the prosperity of thecountry.

According a hearty voto of thanksto Mr. M'Leod, the president said thatin all county matters he was one whocould speak from inside knowledge.

REMITS CARRIED.Tho following remits wero carried:"That in view of tho'largo amount

of auctioneers' license fees' receivedby boroughs, and the fact that tho ma-jorityof sales aro held in county areas,the Government bo urged to adjust thelaw to compel such licenses to be takenout in each county where tho auction-eer conducts sales, or that the fees bo,

adjusted on a similar basis to thatadopted in the distribution of heavytraffic license fees."

"To the Counties' Act to pro--1vide that a council may, if it thinkß fit,levy a general rate over the wholecounty in Her of separately in ridingsand be empowered to charge the wholeof the expenditure in the various ridingsto the general account without thenecessity of keeping separate riding ac-counts, as it is obliged to do under theexisting provisions of the Act,"

A number of remits were rejected.

THE LUNCHEON

ADDRESS BY PRIME MINISTER

The delegates lunched at Gamble andCreed's dining-room, there being pre-sent the Prime Minister (the EightHon. J. G. Coatesand the Minister ofPublic Works (the Hon. K. S. Wil-liams).

The loyal toast honoured, the PrimeMinister said that the counties, and inparticular their president, had to becomplimented on theway in which theyhad carried out their duties during thelast 20 years. He thought that localbodies and county councils would becalled upon to carry out added responsi-bilities in the future.

Dealing with the progress in roadsduring the past twenty years, Mr.Coatessaid that, includingmain high-ways, ordinary Government grants,county councils, and municipalities, theamount spent on roads in 1919 was£2,162,000, and this amount had beenlovel as far back as 1916. Taking thenext eight years, from 1919 to 1927 theamount spent for the same purposes was£5,500,000, an increas of three anda-half millions annum. The popu-lation had increased from 1,175,000 in1919 to 1,438,000in 1927,almost 22 percent. The cost per head had increasedfrom 37s per head in 1919 to £3 17s perhead in 1927,ao that where the popula-tion had increased 22 per cent., the in-creased expenditure on roads wasabout 100per cent.

The number of motor-cars had in-creased from 50,000 in 1919 to 175,000in 1927. Eating had increased at agreat rate, an average increase of£57,500 per year for the last 28 years.For the past eight years it had approxi-mated £423,000 a year. Where werewe getting to?

A great deal of progress had beenmade since the days when there wasanxiety regarding the finances of pub-lic works, and this was largely due toco-operation. It was realised by mostcounty councils that the co-operationwith the Public Works Department wasvaluable, not only by the staffs of thecounty councils, but by their membersalso. *

The amount of money used for roadswas now as far as possible computedfrom a careful system of figures col-lected by tho Department, and tho as-sistance of tho county councils in al-locating the money was' used as faras possible. The Government invited

[further suggestions. As years wenton more and more authority would bedelegated to tho local authorities, andho believed that tho amalgamation ofmany counties would help in this direc-tion. Counties should be equipped insuch' a way that the work couid bemade as easy as possible for thorn. .:

Beferring to the Highways Act, Mr.Coates said that some progress hadbeen made, and it would be found thatthe measure was sound in principle.Varying subsidies were provided for.They had increased from 10s in the& to 30s in the &, and the Governmentwas agreeable to give £2 in the S>,\but in that it. made its own provisions.These they could see the force of.Firstly, more economic means of trans-portation so far as motors were con-cerned was required, and there wasthe question of the costs. that hadgradually grown upon the land. .NewZealand had accomplished as mucc road-ing in eighty years as some other coun-tries had in 50Q years, but it had alsobeen shown that it was possible so torate the land that it was of no furtheruse for the purposes of primary pro-duction. It was time to considerwhat taxation the land really couldcarry, A man buying land, under theexpectation that the rates would beonly £50, might find that his rateswere in the end £120. Local ratingwas a dangerous thing as far as thefarmers were concerned. In the caseof some of the smaller boroughs, suchas Otaki, land had been taxed so heav-ily that it was of no use for farming,though in reality it was only usefulfor farming. The costs of transpor-tation could be no longer thrown backon the land. >

Where the subsidy of £2 for £1was given, the Highways Board musttake into consideration those areas thatin the opinion of the sensible man to-day are paying more rates than theyshould pay, and reaching the dangerpoint. With that provision the Gov-ernment has agreed that the HighwaysBoard may provide on these lines. Inthe early days of bridge building, theprinciple seemed to be to provide £ for£ on the small jobs, but to be in-clined to forget the subsidy altoge-ther when the job approached import-ant dimensions. Now that matterwas to be left to the judgement of theHighways Board.

The Hon. K. S. Williams (Ministerof Public Works) also spoke.

GIFT TO EMPIRE

G. S. READE'S MILLION

NEW NAVAL SCHOOL

THE DONOR'S CAREER


AUCKLAND, This' Day.A new uava school, costing £1,000,-

---000,is to be built at Holbrook, Suffolk,by tho munificenceof Mr. Gifford Sher-man Keade, of Auckland, whose gift tothe nation includes his ancestral estateof 850 acres, states a cablegram re-ceived from London yesterday TheAdmiraltyhas let a contract for build-ings which, on their completion in fouryears, will supersede the .Royal Hos-pital at Greenwich, where 1000 boys areeducated. Mr. Keade is childless, andhis gift has been'made in remembranceof the sacrifices of youth in war time.The estate lies on the southern bound-ary of Suffolk, overlooking the estuaryof the river Stour and in the vicinityof Harwich and Shotley, both of which

have developed as naval training centresin recent years. Immediately on theoutbreak of war, Mr. Eeade placed hisestate and the manor house whichstands on it at the disposal of theGovernment,and its use as a militaryhospital was under consideration. How-ever, no use was made of it, probablybecause the nearest railway station wasabout five miles away.

Throughout the war Mr. Keade unos-tentatiously made munificent gifts inaid of the Allied cause. Besides largesums of money, he presented huge con-signments of tea for distribution on theAllied fronts.

The school, Mr. Keade explained lastevening, will accommodate more than1000 boys, probably 1600. In additionto the increased facilities for physicaldevelopment, one of the advantages ofthe transfer of the training collegefrom the restricted quarters at_ Green-wich would be that the establishmentwould be largely self-supporting, as fer-tile farm lands will be cultivated bythe establishment and the produce de-voted to its upkeep.

Mr. Eeade said he has made the offerof a further sum of £100,000, to beallowed to accumulate until the princi-pal sum is sufficiently large to producean income which will support the estab-lishment entirely. Mr. Eeade, who is83 years of age, came to New Zea-land with his wife thirteen years ago,primarily for deep-sea fishing. Havingno family, and finding the climate suit-ed him, he has lived in the Dominionever since, making Auckland his head-quarters and travelling extensively inboth islands. He has always been akeen fisherman, and he still enjoyß thosport, in, spite of having been badlysha':on through falling from tho jettyat Deep Water Cove,Bay of Islands,two years ago. ,

Mr. Keado spent 35 years in India,where he amassed a largo fortune. Hehad extensive tea estates in Assam,and acquired interests in many otherindustries, notably jute and coal. Heretired 25 years ago, and prior to hisarrival in the Dominion he travelledextensively, spending the summersmostly in Northern Europe and the win-ters on the Mediterranean coast.

PAIR COMPENSATION

NOT EASILY 'FOUND

Even in compensation eases beforethe Arbitration Court, where the partiesare in accord as to the extent of injury,and where the defendants are anxiousto meet the plaintiff's wishes to thebest of their power to do so, the matterof arriving at a Bum that will conformwith the legislation and meet a pecu-liar easo is no simpk one.

This was the case in determiningthecompensation to be paid in the caseof Mr. Cotton, an electrical worker forthe Hutt Valley Power Board, whosecase is elsewhere reported, as the judg-ment of the Court, as given by his Hon-our Mr.( Justice Frazer, will show:—

'' On the question of commutationand the making of a suspensory order,"said his Honour, "wo think that theycannot run together. Section 5 of ourAct is worded differently from the Eng-lish Act. Our Acr makes it quite clearthat we have to clear up the whole ofthe outstanding liability when' weorder payment of a lump sum. As totlij way in which we should settle thecase, it is common ground that theplaintiff has met with a very severe in-jury, one that will prevent him from do-inj hard work during his life, and pre-vent him, too, from apprenticing him-self, as it was his intention to do. Weare told that he will have to undertakevery light work for the rest of his life,and, according to Dr. Griesen,.prefer-ably indoor work. The basis of com-pensation is to be found in section 9of the Act, which provides that if theplaintiff is under 21, and his incapac-ity is permanent, then the Court,has toassume the rate of wageshe would havebeen able to earn at 21,and take fromthat the amount the Court thinks heactually will be able to earn when he is21. The measure of compensation is 58per cent, of that difference. If he hadbeen apprenticed his earnings when outof his time would have been £4 19sa week, but he was not apprenticed, al-though that was his intention; so thatpart of this section does not operate.We have to fall back on the amounthe would have been able to earn at 21if he had not been apprenticed. Weknow that the basic rate for a laboureris Is lOd per hour, but this lad knowssomething of electricity, and when hewas 21 he should have been able to earnsomething like 2s per hour. He wouldhave been an assistant linesman, orsomething like that, and we have fixedthe notional earnings at 2s per hour,so that the weeklyrate would be £4 8sfor a 44-hour week. The Power Boardgave him

%£3 a week when he went

back to do meter testing. It may bothat they were a little generous,andwished to give the lad some encourage-ment, but it appears that for some timehis work maybe intermittent, and thathe will need some time to fit himselffor new work, and that at the best hisrange of work will be limited; so thatthough he may be able to earn £3 aweek, we have decided to take the sumof £2 10s as his probable earningswhen 21. Compensation will thereforebe 58 per cent, of the difference be-tween £4 8s and £2 10s, or 38s, whichworks out at 22s per week. It is com-mon ground that he will not be fit tosettle down to work for twelve months.It may be less than twelve months, butthere again ive think he is entitled tothe benefit of the doubt. So we willgive him full compensation at the pre-sent rate, £1 18s 4d from to-day, forthat period. After twelve months hewill be entitled to the sum of 22s aweek, as I havo explained. Future pay-ments to be commuted, as provided inthe Act." ■ , ' .'"■■.

ENGINEER DISMISSED

DECISION OF COUNCIL

CULMINATION OF FRICTION

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

INVEECAEGILL, This Day.For some time friction has existed

between certain members of the In-vercargill Borough Council, includingthe Mayor, Mr. John Miller, and theengineer, Mr. E. A. Gumbley. This cul-minated last night in the confirmationby seven votes to six of a clause inthe Works Committee's report termin-ating the engineer's engagement bythree months' notice and relieving himof his duties from to-day. Amendmentsdeferring the question for three monthsand referring the question to an inde-pendent tribunal were defeated.

The opponents of the motion contend-ed that Mr. Gumbley had proved highlyefficient in street formation, and hadsaved the council £25,000.

The engineer circulated amongst thecouncillors a letter replying to what hetermed deliberate untruths about hiswork. In conclusion,he stated: "Iwasunder the impression that victimisa-tion and harassing of myself had beendropped, and I was to be allowed tocontinue without the worry which ren-ders efficiency impossible."

BOUND THE ISLANDSA MAGISTRATE'S TRIP

I Someinteresting sidelights on hisrecent trip round the Pacific Islandswere given by Mr. W. G. Biddell,S.M., in a Bhort talk with a represen-tative of "The Post" to-day.

Among other things Mr. Eiddell wasimpressed with the Fijiians a% cargoworkers. Prior to the arrival of a mailsteamer at Suva, he said, arrangementswere made for sixty or seventy nativesto handle the cargo. These men werecheerful fellows who wore littje cloth-ing, and they worked very well. Onething he particularly noticed wasthat they appeared to like hearingorders and the sound, of the winch.They were fed cheaply, being well sat-isfied with some tea and biscuits, orbread, for their midday meal.

"To my mind," said Mr. Eiddell,"Samoa is the best of the islands.There is more variety-there; the othersare all flat, whereas in Samoa youhave mountain, forest, plains, andstreams." He went through the Mauvillages, and to all appearances therewas 110 trouble, but the people knew,however, there was some friction. Mr.Riddell visited many places of interestin Samoa,and was struck by the num-ber of churches; in fact the number ofchurches right through the islandswas one of the features.

The Hindu taxi drivers in Suva alsocompelled attention. They were alwaysvery keen to get a "fare." They hadtheir cards printed, and if the travellerdid not wish to go out "this morning,or this afternoon, would to-morrowafternoon be more suitable?'' Theypestered the traveller.

When the steamer waa^ returningfrom Samoa to Suva Mr. Riddell had agood view of Falcon Island—the disap-pearing island. Falcon Island was buta mere crater on the ocean, and thewater running over it sent up cloudsof steam.

THEATRES AND HORSES

ITALIAN VISITOR'S HOBBIES

Prior to his departure for Americathis afternoon, the Marchese di Pala-giano, the Italian millionaire1 and thea-tre owner, tolda "Post" representativethat his three months' tour of Aus-tralia head been most instructive. Pri-marily the object of his visit had beento study the workings of Australianthreatrical enterprises and to see forhimself the nrture of the field offeringfor Italian grand opera companies.

"Undoubtedly," he saidi"thereis agreat opening for such enterprises inAustralia, and the same applies, I gath-er, to New Zealand, although to a lessextent. The public seem highly appre-ciative of grand opera' and Europeanartists of world-wide fame need haveno qualms as to ther* reception. Toproduce "grand opera on the lavish Euro-pean scale is, of course, expensive, andthe cost of transport is high too, but theinitial outlay would seem warranted byresults."

The Marchese expressed regret athaving but one day to spend in NewZealand. "I have heard much aboutNew Zealand," he said; "about itswonderful sceneryand attractions. Someday perhaps I may be able to see formyself; certainly the little I have seenand the people I have met make mewant to come again."' :

Whilst in AustrVia the Marchese at-tended severalof the bigrace meetings,

'being himself a very enthusiastic ownerof racehorses. He was much impressedwith the appointmentsof the Australiancourses, and with the conduct of thomeetings, being amazed at the holdthat racing had on the people. "It isthe.same, I understand, in New Zea-land," he said. "Everyone seems,togo to the races; and in this part of theworld racing appears to be the sportof the people rather than the sport ofkings, but whether i at ia a good thingor not I leave others to judge."

MILDER WEATHERBUT RAINCOMING

There is at present high barometricpressure over the Dominion, an anti-cyclone being situated off the east coasto fthe South Island. Winds in theSouth Island have backed to the north,whilst in the North Island moderateeasterlies have ruled except in the CookStrait region, where the wind has beensouth-east. Except for a shower or twoon the east coast of the North Island,the weather has been generally fine,with some inland frosts.

A radio messagefrom the Moeraki,now on her way to Sydney, shows thatthe low pressure disturbance mentionedyesterday is situated over the westernpart of the Tasman. At 9 a.m. thevessel reported that she was experienc-ing strong westerly winds and heavysteady rain. The effect of this disturb-ance on the Dominion will be to causenorth-easterly or northerly winds, thesebecoming strong in exposed places. Al-though generally fair to fine a*t first,the weather will gradually become morecloudy and unsettled, rain being generalwithin a couple of days, with someheavy falls. Milder temperatures arelikely to bo experienced.

"PURE CAMOUFLAGE"

COMMITTEES AND BOARDS

CENTRALISATION OF SCHOOLCONTROL

Reference is made by the chair-man of- the Wellington EducationBoard in his annual report to thetendency to develop a centralisedsystem of control of primary educa-tion in New Zealand."The present ippears to be a fitting

occasion for mention of a suggestionmade last year that Education Boards

[should be abolished," says Mr. For-syth in his report. "I hardly creditthat, in the absence of any public re-quest for administrative change, andin view of the history of New Zea-land, its configuration and its lengthof 1100 miles, it should be seriously pro-posed to transfer from the boards, whorepresent the parents,to a central StateDepartment, located in Wellington, thewhole control of primary education. Itis true mention was made of increas-ed powers to school committees, butthis, as the committees and the Depart-ment perfectly well understand,is purely camouflage. A central-ised system without representa-tion of the people and con-trolled by State officers, was desired.How would this suit Auckland andSouthland, o-, in deed, any districtwhere the' people cherish an intenselove of education, and desire a voicein its control? Would it be more effi-cient than the present system or evenequallyefficient, and would itbe accept-able to the people? I am satisfied itwould noJ. Further, I am able toaffirm from information in my posses-sion that without any doubt whateverany Seriousproposal to centralise wouldmeet with the very strongest opposi-tion, the Dominion over, as a controlrunning counter to the principle ofsound local interest and control, whichhave been the strongest factors in thesuccessfulworking of our New Zealandeducation system. I would add that astudy of our system of regulations re-veals a steady unobserved progressivetransfer of local to central authority;also a great increase of complexityanda progressive advance .of the Depart-ment into the sphere of local adminis-tration. This is accomplished at greatand unnecessarycost to the Dominion.I, submit that it should be quite pos-sible to distinguish broadly, on the onehand, the functions of legislation, regu-lation, and determination of policy, be-longing of right to the Education De-partment, and on the other the adminis-trative functions of the board. Thiswas in the minds of the statesmen whoframed the Education Act of 1877,andI verily believe that in the hands ofthe earnest public-spirited men whocompose our boards to-day, such clearlydefinedpowers would be wiselyand suc-cessfully used to the great benefit ofeducation."

A BIG LIFTSIXTY-FOOT GIRDERS

The job of putting in place the biggirders for the overhead railwaybridgein Ngahauranga Gorge is proceedingrapidly. One was put in position onFriday, and yesterday another. Thesehuge steel girders weigh, in place, some28 tons apiece, and, in the case of thecentre spans, measure 60ft over all, and.though the operation his a" disarming"aspect oij.simplicity, it is a big-weightto handle, and it is only the precau*tions taken that make everything go so"smoothly.

The concrete piers have been in posi-tion for some time. The girders ar-rived, on the job in pieces, and havebeen riveted together there. The der-ricks are two-legged, strongly bracedlaterally, of heavy timber, one placedon top of each of the piers immediatelyalongside the main ■north road, guyedback to the solid concrete piers behind,and secured also by cables betweenthem. The girders were skidded intoposition below their place, and wereswung into their final resting-place bysteel cables andblocks, thepower beingsupplied by a heavily-bedded steamwinch, and a six-man manual winch.The method was very simple. One endof the girder was lifted well above itspermanent position, and then the otherend was raised, the slant .of the girderfrom the horizontal giving the neces-sary clearance. When levelled andlowered into place, both ends rest onhalf the top of the piers, ready to bebolted to the adjoining girders. Thesmall rectangular openings seen on theinner sides of the piers are for the keyswhich hold the long vertical boltswhich hold the girders firmly to thepiers.

During the hoisting' of the girderstraffic was diverted, but only for ashort time. The plentiful clearancegiven was shown by the passage of alorry with five tiers of bales of fodder,which left more than six feet to spare.It is evidently the- intention of thePublic Works Department to have allother works completed on the TawaFlat deviation by the time the tunnelshav# been pierced and are ready fortraffic. That is the longest job, buttho modern methods being adopted..reexpected to shorten the work consider-ably in comparison with other longUew Zealand tunnels. The Ngahau-range Gorge bridge will come in usefulfor running the spoil from the northernlonger tunnel down to the ramp con-necting the Hutt roajl overbridge andKaiwarra station.

Continuinghis series of addresses atthe Gospel Hall, Vivian street, lastevening, Mr. Hitchman spoke of , theauthority of the Scriptures. There wasno room for man to have opinions ofhis own with regard to God, Who hadrevealed His mind in His Word. Wewere livingin days when the doctrinesof the Word of God werebeing rejectedon every hand. Modernism had comein, and was manifesting itself in manyways, and almost eyery system inChristendomwas unsound when judgedby the great truths of the Scriptures.The words "church," "baptism,""confirmation," and "sacrament" hadbeen so perverted that in the minds ofmany they had been mado to teachthings that the- Word of God did notteach.

A Wellington mei-chant lccently Incaking his louiney toEngland passed through ..the Union andsaw much that impressed him of theenterprise of primary producers and thegreat resources of the country consideredas a whole. In a private letter received ■from him in Wellington to-day he wrote:—; "To a visitor the Union's" besetting

' sin appears to be politics. The bitter feel-ing between Briton and Boer is; acting

1 as a heavy drag upon progressin theUnion. Nevertheless,I am convinced thatnothing can keep this country back. Ob-'stacles may retard but not prevent itsprosperity and general development. Nec-essarily with the limited time at my dis-posal I was unable to delve deeply intoconditions and causes. But one thing is

" self-evident: Farming interests are to bethe'teal basis of prosperity of the Union,and'enable it toicarry a greatly increasedwhite population. It will be agriculturaldevelopments that will impel South Africaforward, and not the mining industry, ofwhich we in New Zealand hear so much.Already it is wool—not diamonds—thatoccupies second place in the list of, ex-ports, and the wool is greater in 'aggre-gate value than that exported from NewZealand; The value of exports for -1927may surprise you:—

MODERN TENDENCIESDAIRY EXPORT CONTROL

Mr. T. Paterson. Commonwealth Minis-ter;; for Markets, publicly referred lastweek to"recent 'criticisms made at Perthof>the: operations of Australian dairy ex-port: control.:' He said the board hadbrought about greater co-ordination be-tween wholesale distributors and produc-ers, and. thiswas accomplished shortlyafter the board's agencyin London wasestablished.' lii' several months choicestAustralian butter realised prices eqqualto,and. on a few. occasions above,New Zea-land, whereas for many years previouslythe. latter had an advantage of from £0to £10per ton. There was everyprospectof: a .continuance of these prices, but uu-foi-tunately the quality of a small propor-tion of Australian'butter was not main-tained when the Imperial regulations pro;hibited'tkii use of preservative. The irre:gularity in quality continued for severalmonths, and was more pronounced in aproportion of Victorian butter than inother producing States. The reputationof all, Australia suffered in consequence,and it was impossible to maintain priceson a level with New Zealand., Mr. Pateraon concluded ;by saying thatother nations were adopting the Austral-ian' board's policy, notably New Zealand,which, after making initial mistakes,wasnow following a policy on somewhat sim-ilar lines to that o£the Commonwealth.It was reported that dairying organisa-tions in the,Northern Hemisphere werealso taking action to establish boards inEngland similar to the London agencyofthe Australian board. New Zealand,Can-ada,and South Africa were so impressedby the'Australian ■ advertising campaign,and the results achieved,that they werenow carrying out similar propaganda forthe sale of their products.

TAXING INCOME FROM OUTSIDE.The proposal of the Federal Ministry to

Mr. G. A..Parkes, the presidentof the chamber,presided, and aftercussion a resolution was adopted, "Thatthis meeting views with alarm the sugges-tion to extend the basis of taxation, so asto include the taxation of ex-Australianincome,and is of the opinion that theproposals, if put into operation, will havedetrimental effects on the business,com-merce, and credit of Australia, and must,inter alia, seriously increase the alreadyheavy burden of unemployment."

SEAFARINGTERMS.The sailing ship hasalmost vanished from the

seas, and with'her goes a vocabulary of termswhich hava done service for many generationsof seafarers, but havenow become quite unin-telligible, to the landsman" and archaic to theseaman. In an article which appears In the"Mariner's Mirror," the quarterly journal ofthe Society for Nautical. Research, Mr. L;G.Carr Laughton explains many of these term3in their relation to the ship's equipment. Hegives the origin of the words "starboard" and"larboard," the latter, of which, to avoid mis-understanding owing to similarity of pronun-ciation, was ultimately superseded by the term"port." "Starboard," the right side of the ship,it appears, is "steer-board," because a helms-man when steering had that side of the ves-sel on his right hand. "Larboard" is explain-ed as a corruption of "lade-board," the load-ing side of the ship, 'or that side which wasbrought to the wharf when loading cargo. Theword "port" gradually crept into tho seaman'slanguage as a substitute for "larboard," whichindicates that if any further change is to bomade in these familiar terms ,the new nomen-clature will also havo to bo of natural andgradual growth. Mr. Loughton goes on to ex-plain such expressions as "luff," "tack," "beatto windward," "veer," etc., some of which havobecome incorporated in familiar speech by wayof metaphor, although tho origin of them isforgotten.

The Arbor Day numbers of theSchool Journal have a great deal thatis interesting and instructive for theyoung'ones of all standards. In poetryand prose the.value of forests is shown,"and" pictures'.-. depict.. the devastationwhich-follows the destruction of for-ests. The growing of straight-trunkedtrees, with .-"tire"-results of years ofscientific cutting, is another interestingsubject, and- one that is little under-stood as arule. Birds are pictured andtalked about, and an article on theweta, which is pictured in full ghastli-ness, follows. There is also a talkabout the rubber tree. Concluding thesenior number is a poem full of warn-ing entitled "Tha Careless Smoker"who started a forest fire, causing loss ofbeauty, property, and life by the singlecareless act. The next standardshave adescriptive article 6n the curiouslance-wood tree, which is one of Na-ture's freaks. The weka is a pleas-anter denizen of our forests than theweta, though so alike in name, and theseeker after busy honey, the Busy Bee,comes in for a story-talk. The"littlest ones" have Hans Andersen'sdelightful story of the "Fir Tree"adapted for them, with poetry andshort stories in tune with tho subjectof tho month, and all have an oppor-tunity of knowing something new:about trees and animals if they takeiadvantage of these excellent' school

"Talofa to you all" is a greeting bya Samoangirl to all good Junior BedCrossites, in the Bed Cross Journal.A good descriptive article follows,which gives just a glimpse of the Is-land life and its joys. The BritshBed CrossJournal gives some good ad-vice to the juniors, which is repro-duced in the July number of the youngNew Zealanders' monthly paper, antlMr. Vosseler further interests them intramping,while being quite plain spok-en about its clangers if proper and rea-sonable precautions are not taken toavoid trouble. Jean M'Kay has a do-lightful picture of "Service in thehome," where a Bed Crosspixie showsthe rabbits how to take care of theirinvalids. The senior and junior news,as usual, gives account of a host ofgood works done by members, and inall. tiro .number- is. a'particularly goodone. ■ "■'■■■' ;".■,'■'■' ■■ ,- ■"■On Travelling "Light."

No longer is a medley of differentdress baskets, suitcases,and handbagspermitted to accompanymodern womanon her holiday travels. She chooses in-stead a series of cases in one materialaud colour, though maybe in differentdimensions, and a hat box fitted with aslot for the. umbrellas and sunshadesneeded for the trip, says a writer in anexchange. Shiny American cloth, piped.iv scarlet, white, or jade, is consideredsmarter than leather—or its imitation—-as a covering for luggage. The littlehandbag is in the same shade as thepiping, unless the latter happens to bewhite, in which case a black seal poch-ette is correct. Three-ply wood haslargely taken the place of compressedfibre as a material for suitcases, andthisjis.sometimes left to show its graininstead of being covered with simulatedleather. Bound hatboxes of birchwood,with leather straps, accommpany thesecases, and when a monogram is appliedin a bright colour, encircled with apainted frame, the effect is distinctlygood. Into the largest case the womanwho has aproper respect for her gowns,slips a collapsible "wardrobe" of Cre-tonne, with boxed sides and a rod florhangers fixed at the top. These coversare dustproof. Often the wardrobe ac-commodation in hotel bedrooms is so in-sufficient that the visitors'> dresses suf-fer in consequence. This expedientsaves the situation.A Difficulty of the Day.- ,

A constable gave 'evidence in theMagistrate's Court at Christehurch onFriday in a case regarding a motor col-lision which occurred at the intersec-tion of Cashel and Colombo streets,says the "Lytteiton Times." He saidthat, he had not noticed that the daugh-ter of the woman driving one of thecars had long hair. He had asked herwhether she was single. "She replied:'No, I'm a schoolgirl,'" added theconstable. The Magistrate (Mr. E. D.Mosley) smilingly remarked that nowa-days one could not tell by the hairwhether a person was a girl of four-teen or a woman of forty!

THE LAST COURTS

NEW ZEALANDERS PRESENTED

(From "The Post's" Representative.)LONDON, 15th June.

There were nearly 1000 presentations(including 200 debutantes) at Court atBuckingham Palace on 12th June, thefourth which the King and Queen havehold this season. The string band of

tho Coldstream Guards in the Throne

Boom and the band of the Guard ofHonour mounted in the Quadrangle sig-nalled the start of the Boyal party ontheir progressto the Throne Boom. TheKing and Queen took their places be-fore the twin thrones, with members oftheir family grouped slightly behindthem, and the presentations began. Itwas nearly midnight before the Boyalparty again made their -waythrough theState rooms at the close of the cere-mony. Her Majesty's gown'was.of sil-ver, heavily embroidered with silverpaillettes, and the silver train borderedwith similar embroideries and diamante.With it was worn a high diamond dia-dem, diamond ornaments, and the rib-bon and jewelof the Order of the Gar-ter. The Prince of Wales, PrincessMary Viscountess Lascelles, and Vis-count Lascelles, Princess Helen Vic-toria, and Captain Lord Carnegie andLady Maud Carnegie wqre in the RoyalCircle. - The Duchess of York wore abeautifully draped white satin gown,richly embroidered with diamante. Thetrain was entirely covered with dia-mante embroidery in a lovely featherdesign. 'Lady Parr presented seven New Zea-landers—namely, Mrs. Charles Morieo,Mrs. CharlesE. Biehardson, the MissesAmy and Sybil Levin, Beatrice Holmes,L. M. Williams, and Mary Butter. MissMary Bichardson was presented by hermother, Mrs. C. E. Bichardson, whowore a gown of soft-dull old gold laceover gold lame. Tho train of goldlame was lined with pale 'ninon, and ap-pliqued with lace.. Pearl ornamentswere worn;, and'a largo white featherfan was carried. Miss Bichardson'sdress was of white net finely beaded incrystal and mounted over palest pinkninon. The panel of the train was alsowhite with crystal embroidery* whilstthe sides of the train were finished withcascades of pink georgette, the wholebeing lined through with the sameshade of pink, makinga delightful girl-ish ensemble.

Mrs. Morice, who was accompaniedby her husband, wore a very becomingslightly draped' gown of black velvet,embroidered with ' diamante in a boldand effetcive design. The train of- thesame material was lined with silver.To complete the attractive ensemble,Mrs. Morice carried a large ostrich fea-ther fan of a delicate pink tint.

Miss Butter wore a beauti-ful picture dress in pearl sat-in duchesse over pink, 'attrac-tively embroidered with crystal andseed pearls. ' The Court train was em-broidered with iridescent sequins andlined with silver, veiled with pinkgeorgette. She carried a feather fanof coral pink, and wore a headdress ofsilver and diamante worked with coralbeads.

Miss Holmes wore a simple debutantedress of white georgette over satin, thebodice handsomely handworked inwhite silk With touches of gold. Thetwo-tiered skirt of georgette fell indeep points" at either side, and was fin-ished with embroi.lery similar to thaton the bodice, the same being repoatodin one corner of tho white satin train.Sho carried .'.bouquet of shaded pinkcarnations. . ...

The skirt of Miss L. Williams's dresswas of maize-coloured ;ninon, short infront and long at the back, the trainbeing of similar fabric. The bodicewas of gold tissue. A feather fan ofsimilar tone was carried.

QUICKLYMADE FRINGE

A plain but most attractive narrowfringe can be made quickly, says an ex-change. Cut a strip of stiff paper thowidth the fringe is to be, say, one orone inch and a half, and wind thethread for the fringe around'it evenly.This kind of fringe usually looks bestwhen made of ordinary embroidery cot-ton or silk. Then, using the shortestpossible machine stitch, sew along oneodge four times, making the lines ofstitching close together. Trim the op-posite edge a,ndtear away the paper.Usually when a very short machinestitch is used the paper can all be re-moved quite easily from the stitching,but if not, attach the fringe under-neath instead of above the edge of thematerial on which it is to be used, sothe bits of paper will not show. Thiskind of fringe is very practical, beingsuitable for a great variety of uses,and of course it is inexpensive. It maybe a solid colour, but it is also pleasingwhen made of mixed colours.

NEW ZEALAND FRUIT

IN THE OLD COUNTRY

A.HOUSEWIFE'S OPINION

(By Mrs. Amory, who visited NowZealand last year.)

There is an old prayer'■which asksfor the'gift oi' new eyes.' This,is per-haps only an acknowledgment that ourimagination is-so limited;that .we never,

ically appreciate the truth of a thing.until our eyes hay been opened to itby personal experience.

New eyeshavo certainly been givento me by the wonderful experiences ofmy recent Empire tour with -niy, hus-band,jand;j.t is through these eyes;that"I now\;s"p'e£Ehg'land in her true relation'to you Toverseaß;Like all relationshipsthat endure withpleasure andprofit, thisbond go.ertis to mo to consist in our mu-tual interdependence. We each have-something very valuable to give eachother, but how valuable it is, and hownecessary' we are to each other I hadnever vreally appreciated until I hadthe privilege of your hospitality in NewZealand and in the other Dominions. >;

It was as a housewife'that my tourimpressed me most by showingwhat astandard of "good housekeeping" reallycould 'be ■■achieved by' a closer co-opera-tion between us at Home and you over-seas.; .Back hero/Englandseems strange-ly small, strangely crowded,with an' in-credible number of mouths to fee;:-and'I see. the Dominions, now in my mind'seye as'''the',garden,, orchard, and farmsurrounding a little house crowded withhungry people. Here where so little ofanything is grown, it is as hard for us-to realise the immense surplus stores offood and fruit that you have to sendus, as) it is for you to realise how greatis our market for them. , .

With the impressions of your delight-ful hospitality; still fresh in my mind■I was, particularly interested andpleased-to see on my return a most at-tractive and useful booklet known as a"Calendar of Empire Fruits' and Vege-tables,"'which has just been issued bythe Eijipire Marketing -Board, whosegood work is doing so much here toznake'V more widely known the- possi-bilities of "Empire shopping." It maybe a grand political thought that, onthe British Empire the sun never sets,but it is a far;grander thought to theprudent housewife that in the BritishEmpire- a great many desirable fruitsare always in season, and, moreover,that they maybe bought here all the.yearTbund. Itis a surprisinglynew-dis-covery,, however, to most of ua, andthe Empire Marketing Board, by itsadmirable littlo . calendar, explainingand tabulating exactly what fruits arein season each month and from whatparts of. the Empire they come, is per-forming-an.invaluable service not onlyto the.'housewife and shopkeeper atHome by ensuring a. wider variety ofgoods, but also to the grower in NewZealand, Canada, South Africa, andAustralia, by ensuring a wider marketfor them.

There is a day each year in London■when the noisy, dusty Strand seemssuddenly full of sunshine and romanceand New, Zealand seems;very near. Itis the' day when the new fruit appearsin its! splendour, in'■.'the windows of theDominion houses, and large placards areihown: -"New Zealand's apples (orpears) have arrived." And how muchmore it means when you have seen themgrowing as I did. This fruit opensup newvistas of delight to us. We havebeen used in the past to'a fluctuatingfruit season with long intervals whenhardlyanyigood fruit was to be bought,but how it is'possible, and this calen-dar is making it universally known tobe possible to'b'uy Empire fruit ofequal quality, cheapness, and sweet-ness all the year round. Take the caseof apples, for instance—our,"as your,most staple fruit. Our Home supply,iv season from July to April, is, ofcourse, totally inadequate; but CanadaBends her stores about September, andthese continue to supply our Christmasneeds. Australia reinforces them aboutMarch, and your 30,000 acres of apple jorchards send us some of their suppliesabout Aprilto keep us going until Julyiagain, when the year's cyclo is com-pleted. , ,

Fresh fruit here, except in the sum-mer, has been for the none-too-well-offhousehold a luxury that,you could nevercontemplate, but modern methods of,fruit, packing and transport havebrought within reach of everyone avariety of delicate and hitherto expen-sive fruits, such as peaches, plums, andipears which can only be grown hereunder hot-%ouscconditions. I shall noteasily forget my first sight of one ofyour orchards and the immenselyskilledpacking of the fruit which reaches ushere without a bruise. This importationof soft fruits has brought,about a com-plete revolution in England's fruit sup-ply, and all that is now needed is for.the housewife to realise that they are"waiting for her in the shops all the yearround. You maybo sure we are not slowin taking advantage of this additionto our housekeeping, and the increasing,sale of these fruits proves that we nolonger submit to the tyranny of thelong "dead" season when we have beenoffered by our greengrocera choice ofperhaps only three or four fruits. Thecalendar I mentioned shows that duringnine months of the year there are fromfifteen to twenty-one varieties of Em-pire fruit all in season together, andeven in the worst three months" of our■winter,from October to December,thereis an averageof at least ten.

My tour among you will always livein my memory as one of the happiestand most illuminating experiences, ofmy life.

JUVENILE LABOUR

FALLING-OFF IN ENGLAND

PROBLEM W TWO; CITIES

The annual,\report of thj Councilof Advisory Committees for JuvenileEmployment (some of which are nowbeing published by ELM. StationeryOfficefor the Ministry off Labour) con-tain interesting sections on the pros-pective falling-off in \ th« juvenilelabour supply in the ne.st five years—tho consequence of.the 'low birth-rateof the war years states the "ManchesterGuardian."'The. v, two. latest re-ports, those of;; Sheffield' and Bristol,are not encouraging. JQristol statesthat "the main local indiistries engag-ing juveniles are no longer able to

[absorb anything like the jiumbers theydid a , few years back}.'' Sheffieldsuffers-from the depression in herstaple industries, and welcomes a fuduc-t'ionin the number of boys and girlscoming into the labour market.

The two towns present ;ivi industrialcontrast. Bristol's trades being;"light," and Sheffield's ' "heavy."iThe Bristol Committee findls a slumpin demand for .the labour in the tobacco,chocolate, printing, and boitt and shoetrades,,andsees the causes in' the devel-openient of machinery and labour-savingdevices, fewer women leaving to bomarried, underemployment of; the pre-sent, staff," depression in trade*, and, inthe clothing trade, loss of export trade."Boys and girls are faced V/ith thenecessity of excepting almost any kind jof employment, and the Conimittee 'aadvisory work has become extremelydifficult." The report goes on:^— <' The lack of opportunities for learningskilled trades, or even a seetioEi of atrade creates much disappointment,andmany boys and girls who leave 'schoolfull of ambition and spirit are frotjuent-ly forced to accept unskilled and casualwork. . In reviewing the local unemploy-ment situation the Committee ;\i earsthat there is very little prospect of re-ducing the standing surplus of approx-imately 1000 juveniles until such -time

.■aslth'e effect of tk low birth-rate .dur-ing the years of the war is felt—393o--33;dt :is estimated that during thoseyears-the surplus, should be absorbedinto industry if trade remains as good*as it is now. . \

Last year the number of school leav-ersat,Bristol was 5159. This is expect-ed to decline each year until 1932,whenit will reach 3751,rising to 4182 in1933 and to 5993 in 1934. The redac-tion in the number of school leavers,it is hoped, will have the following'effects: a return to the pre-war stand-ard of selection for jobs; the probableraising of the standard of conditionsand wages offered to errand-boys and jworkers in unorganised occupations; anincrease in the proportion of men andwomen employed; a more economicalorganisationof distribution from shops;full-time employment where part-time Iwork now operates. .. ' .

Sheffield had an average number ofunemployed juveniles last year of 701boys and 1203 girls. The estimatednumber of school leavers next year is8300 and the lowest point will be touch-ede in ; 1932—7290. The Committe;estimates that Sheffield can ' absorb■about 6900 boys, and girls into itsstaple insured industries 'every- year,and looks forward to no serious expan-sion. Th' introduction of labour-sav-ing, machinery has to be set againsttrade expansion. The Committee doesnot think the demand during the nextsix years in any of the local stapleindustries—iron and steel founding (allbranches), cutlery, a.nd silver plate,will exeeeduthe,juvenile labour supply.If it does, "tlier.cj,. will always be areservoir ";Bf-'youtlia;'>;of-.,;eighteen totwenty-one'which could jt>e' tapped forall but the highly^skilled, or -purelyjunior operations,'' aiid, as during thewar, a shortage of boy labour couldbe met by putting girls on to mechani-cal and repetitive operations. TheCommittee is even of opinion "thatthedeclining birth-rate; at the moment is ablessing in disguise. '■';'" ■')

The Glasgow.-Committee in its reportsays that last year 20,585children leftschool, and estimates that until 1930the figures will vary little! A rapid fallto '17,351 will' occur, in 1931, and to16,369in 1932. But the Committee doeanot venture to forcast what the'indust-rial position will, bo in three or sixyears' time. ." :, ''.""." . :. ■.

PROGRESS IN INDIA

DEBT TO PUBLIC SERVICES

(From "The :Post's" Representative.)LONDON, 30th May.

TheBritish Indian Union gave a lunch-eon at the' Hotel Cecil, under the chair-manship of Lord Keading, in honour ofSir Harcourt Butler (late Governor oEBurma) and of Sir William Marris (lateGovernor of the United Provinces andnow a member of theIndia Council). Thelatter is :.a quondam New Zeulander.

Lord Reading said that Sir HarcourcButler had left, behind in the two great"provinces-he had ruled a notable recordas a peacemaker and administrator Hesucceeded in his great crusade against, slav-ery in a remote part of Burma",,where ithad now been rooted out—(cheers)—andhad also induced certain Naga chiefs toabandon the practice of human sacrifice.Sir William Marris, before going to theUnited Provinces, played a considerablepart in the shaping of the present Con-stitution in India,"and was .known as aman of 'great. scholarly attainments.

Sir' Harcourt Butler said that whateverhe might have achieved in his service ofIndia was due in the main to those- withwhom he worked. He had been readingthat cod-liver oil was "bottled sunlightPlankton, floating on the surfaceof thesummer sea, absorbed the sun's rays. Thesquid eating these animalculae acquiredtheir treasure store of light, and in turnbecame the food of the cod, a deep-seajfish. Provincial Governors were thssquids who fed the cod, the Governmentof India, but they depended for then ownnourishment on a great body of publicservants, the plankton. (Laughter andcheers.) In his 38 years as a menibe/of the Indian Civil Servicehe had seenmany changes, and more were approaching. On the. whole, these changes hadbeen good, and they had brought Indiansand Europeans together in a way thatwould have been thought impossible whenhe first went out.

Sir William Marris also paid tribute tothe loyalty and solidarity of the greatpublic services in India, and said he. look-ed forward in a constant spirit of hope tothe- future, -.'■■": ''■""■' ,

CANADIAN MONEY

'ACCEPTANCE IN U.S.A.

REQUESTFOR PAR VALUE

The suggestion being considered by theAssociation of United States Cham-bers 'of Commerce that Canadianmoney be acepted at par at alltimes 'throughout the United States, isbeing watched with keen interest in Can-ada (states the Toronto correspondent ofthe "San Francisco .Chronicle"). Foryears the difference in currencyhas beena matter of embarrassment to Canadianstravelling in the: States. Now. that themotor-car has tremendously .increased thenumber ot Canadians touring in the States,the exchange situation has become morethan a nuisance. ' ' i ■

A year ago the matter was brought tothe attention, of the Fourteenth NationalI 1oreisn Trade Conventionheld in Detroitby George Wilson, former president ofthe Toronto Board of Trade. He said Can-adians weire frequently -humiliated by theattitude adopted in the States toward Can-adian currency..

There was-no trouble at border points,such as Detroit and Buffalo, he said, butin- interior towns and cities, and even inNew York, frequent complaints were madethat Canadian money had been refusedeven when at premium. With the Domin-ion on:a gold basis, and. all. bank notesbacked/.by the Government,.its 'currencycould never be discounted at more than afraction. Thusl the exaction o£an exorbi-tant rate of discount.could, only be attri-buted to,ignorance'or cupidity/,hie skid.Vincent Massey, Canadian'Minister atWashington,, has intimated that accept-ance of Canadian currencyat its'par valuewould be regarded in the Dominion1as agesture of goodwill.\Now that/the Asso-ciation of Chambers of Commerce hastaken the matter up, the result is eagerlyawaited in .the Dominion; :"

BANKERS' SUSPICION.Suspicion with which American'bankers

have treated [Canadian:money 'has longbeen a sore point with travellers fromCanada/When visitors to Canadaexpresssurprise oreleaniing that Canada: does nbtuse pounds, shillings, and pence, it is,'per-hapsjieasy to understandv.the 10 per cent;discounts; so often levied/on Canadiansinthe_ United States.': Every summer;.theOn-tario Motor League :is/deluged with .com-plaints over; this subject. /The attitude.Ofstores and /individuals might be" fbrgi-yjî,but when ibanks—even in-New /York—re-fuse/exchange, it is embarrassing.: .--.-/ As tha -number: of tourists from thisside is constantly increasing,, the' need forsettlement of the currencyproblem is be-coming greater. Canada has no trans-con-tinental motor highway. It will'»be someyears before the wild land north of LakeSuperior is open to automobiles. In themeantime motorists from the West, boundfor Ontario and Quebec, must comethrough the-United States and run the.gamut of the money changers.

Solution of the trouble, Canadiansfeel,is education in the United States ratherthan legislation. In some of the smallercentres tourists have found there is an in-herent prejudice to accepting foreignmoney. Rumours of Canadian bank fail-ures have perhaps added to this, withoutthe knowledge that the Government backsall bank notes,

The moneysituation is a one-sided prob-lem. American bank notes are so com-mon in Canada that they are changed justas freely and just;as easily as Canadianbills. Not since the civil war cut the valueof-the "greenbacks" almost in half hasthere been any serious trouble, in Can-ada about accepting American money.

CHINA TO-DAY

MANY KSUES AT STAKE

TERROR AND SUPERSTITION ;

Some idea of what tho upheavals inChina mean to those whom they touchmay be gained from letters written byisolated Europeans in^he remote inter-ior. A resident of Melbourne (says the"Argus") has recently received a let-ter from a friend who holds an import-ant Government position in a far in-land province. His administrative dis-trict has a population of 22,000,000, and.includes several cities of\mbre than500,000inhabitants. He had one Euro-pean on his staff, but he was obligedto send him to thie coast-on account ofill-health. The. rest of his large staffis composed entirely of Chinese. A fewvdays after his friend left two Rus-sian Bolsheviks entered the city. Theseproved to be the advance agents of theChinese Communist army. This army ismade ,up of jOth men and wpmen ofthe lowest class. It was commanded bya notorious Chinese cut-throat. Fortun-atelythe official.received two days' not-ice of the comingof the army,and afterhavirigwarned the onlytwo other Euro-pean residents he managed to make hisescape the day before, the storm broke.The Communists held the city for 10days of slaughter and pillage. Whenthey were driven off the official resum-ed his post, ;but the city is kept at.tension by repeated rumours of attack1from various sources. Four cities inthe province have been evaculated. andthe educated inhabitants have beentreated with torture and cruelites ofwhich it is impossible to give details.

Tho capital city is constantly in the;throes of strikes and other labourtroubles. AJI influential merchants havefled in order to escape from militarytaxes and industrial turmoil. The bankrates fluctuate daily, and finance hasbecome a nightmare. There, is a cur-rency of papor money issued by the.Provisional Government, which has nocash backing. Then-the notes of var-ious provinces are brought intothe city :; by tens of thousands,of. troops '■ that are continually,passing -through. Though, these noteshave depreciated:"/"heavily the sol-diers force traders-to/accept them.Three separate issues"qf ProvisionalGovernment notes have"become totallyvalueless during the last 12 months. Theletter goes on to' relate how the staffof the writer's department was stirredup by agitators and how it submittedunpalatable demands. Oneaffecting himpersonally Was that he should no longeruse his sedan chair with its four bearersand bodyguard of two men. The peoplehad been forced to dispense with "thistype of Imperialism," and he shoulddo the same, and uso the ccrmmon jin-ricksha like others. There was nothingfor it but to obey, though 'rickshatransport over the ill-paved streets isthe acme of discomfort.

Everything in the province is inichaos and the,people are almost franticwith fear. ■Ihe soldiers and othershave carried on a strenuous street andschool propaganda teaching that for-'eigners are the enemies of China, so thatin his daily\passagefrom his home tohis office the official runs the gaunt-let of opprobrium. This, he writes, isnot so bad as the terrible lonelinessof a huge city, with nowhere to go,and with only Chineso as associates.Tho fear that tho Communists haveput upon the people has i. creased thesuperstition <"* the Chinese,who as arace are subject to various strango be-liefs. From the highest officials tothe coolies superstitions are rife "thatalmost drive one crazy." His ownservants cannot be induced for anypossible consideration to enter the of-ficials' compound after'dark. It ap-pears that somo animals from the citywall have been using the compound for,aplayground, but nothing will convincethe servants that the visitation is notthat of ghost foxes, a very malignant

■manifestation. Tho house is also sup-posed to be inhabitated by a "house-wolf," and the official ia. frequentlyasked whether ho has held converseWith tho apparition. . I

BRITISH LEGIONRELIEF OF DISTRESS

MARSHAL FOCH ON UNITY

SPEECH BY THE PJJINCE

(From "The Post's" Representative.)

* LONDON, 30th May.Tho conferenceof thoBritish Legit i,

4000 veterans representing all thofleets aro ai'micsyhas been in session ai'Scarborough. Itconstituted a -memor-able demonstration of the spirit whichaiiiuiuted'-'Great Britain through thelong effort of the war. The place oftho fii;st-,president of tho lcgiwn, thelate Earl ITaig, was taken by Earl'Jclttcoe, and beside the,first Admiralof thelGraiul Fleet stood tho General-issimo ilof" tho Allied Annies, MarshalFoch, to; greet tho members as "cherscaniarades;" arid speak of that unityof win iand strength by wliich. alonevictory,! was made possible. The legionis itself an emb&dimentof tho principloof unity. Tiro members" are all foreach aKd each' for all iv common loy-alty andcommon service. Its work nowis chiefly concerned with ro-establish-ing tho activities of peace. It has al-itady been an incalculable influenceforgood in national affairs. It" has keptalivo tho .feeling of- fellowship"betweenmeu of alf sorts and conditions, it hasfostered,tho larger loyalties. Leaders intho country must see to it that tho eco-nomic and industrial affairs of the na-tion aro so ordered as to ensure thatthe men of tho legion aro fairly dealtwith, and ensured their part in thowork and prosperity, thoir influence ontho momentous decisions,of tho future.

Lord Jellicoc, after a touching refer-ence to the lato Earl Haig, remarkedthat the high ideals of tho legion hadbeen handed down to them during thepast generation—ideals,for which thoinon of tho legion fought during theGreat War,, and ideals which, if car-ried into their daily lives during peace,were bound to make them better menand of more use to other people. Mem-bers of tho'legion and all who work-ed for it had put their hands to a greattask, and all who realised tho splendidwork of the armed forces of the Em-piro during tho war should give of theirbest in helping ex-servico men so longas health and strength remained tothem. j

A MAKER OF WORLD PEACE.Among ex-service. organisations

throughout tho world the position of thelegion* was unique. By its membershipof tho British Empiro ServicesLeagueit maintained contact with tho ex-ser-vice movement oftho several Domin-ions while by its association with tneFederation lnter-Alliee dcs AnciensGombattants it kept alive tho.comrade-ship which existed between men of theAllied Forces in the,, .war, stimulatedinterest in the various inter-Allied as-pects of ex-service problems, and madefor tho peace of tho world. Its posi-

tion in the nation's lifo was admir-ably exemplified by the'wonderful re-sponse given to the appeal for fundsto relievo distress among unemployedcx-servico men and their dependants.The action of tho public in making itpossible for the legion to carry out thisimportant national work was indicativeof tho trust and confidence reposed inits administration, of which the legionmight justly bo proud. In-return forthat trust it was their obvious duty tosec that tho very best possible use wasmade of tho funds so generously pro-vided.

The efforts by the various agencies

lof the legion throughout the country toobtain employment for ex-scrvico menout of work had met during the yearwith encouraging success. They lookedforward, however,to the time when em-ployers' would automatically come totho local representatives of tho legionif they had any jobs or wero contem-plating additional staff or tho taking-on of any new hands. Ho deeply ro-grettcd that the constantly increasingexpenditure on relief showed that theneeds of ex-servico men and their fami-lies were'as great a3 ever. Local com-mittees made 400,000 grants for necessi:tous cases during 1927.«

UNITY OF EFFORT NEEDED.Marshal Foch addressed the delegates

In French a,s dear comrades and "spokeof his satisfaction at finding himselfamong the old ex-Sorviccmcn of theBritish Army on their own soil, display-ing in their work during these days ofpeace the samo qualities which madetheir strength during the war. _In thisreunion his thoughts were still witlitheir noble dead, and with all who hadsince succumbed to their wounds or tothe hardships of the struggle. Tenyearsagoto that very day, when the blue skyof France was strangely darkened at theChemin dcs Dames,five English divis-ions ■ struggled beside the sadly triedFrench divisions in meeting the dangercreated by a gap which threatenedParis.1 Comradeship, which' emanatedalike.from tho highest chief and thosimple private and saw only tho com-mon interest, was tho rule of conduct ofGovernmentsas with the soldiers in thewar, and that the Entenlo Cordiale be-came during hostilities a living' andfecund reality. When, facing to-daythe problems of peace, they experienceddifficulties similar to those which theymet during the war, was it not up tothorn, and for their edification, to re-member the lessons of the past? "Whc-

'ther it is to gain a victory or to re-establish the productive activities ofpeace, the same unity of effort is needed.Four years wero necessary to prepareand assure our common victory. Itwill take even longer to maintain andreinforce that peace which is the out-come of it all. Time is indispensable toall great work in order to settle thefoundations, to prepare tho plan, andto ensure the execution of the whole.Time is still more necessarywhen itis a .question of collaboration betweenour two countries to safeguard thispeace. Neither in peace nor in war iseither of .pur countries sufficient in itselfto hold against the activities, evenpoaceful, of a nation with a' populationso much larger. Let us not forget it is ;our common cause, it is our unbreak-able union/ which has wrested the vic-tory. It is also common action andtonacious holding to tho samo ideas,thoughts, and decisions in the politicalor economic domain that will assure .usof the prosperity of our two coun-tries. Furthermore tho Entente willbe fruitful.in results. After havingwon the common victory, it will assurea prosperous peace, but under one con-dition—that it not be merely a word."

GREAT NAMES OF* THE WAR.During his speech, tho Prince of

Wales said:'"There is no occasion inthis country on which Marshal FocKwould not be an honoured and ever wel-come guest, but at no gathering willthe honour of his presence be more ap-preciated than in a gathering like thisconference of ours. As wo grow olderit becomes more and more difficult tomake a hero out of anybody—(laughterand cheers)—but I know, and we all'know, who were through the war, thatMarshal Foch is and always will be ahero. It is not difficult to &ay why.For four years wo. were all of us to-gether,combined to put all our weight,heart, and soul into the fight. We alltof us recognised without question thatMarshal Foch was the finest fighter ofall. ."■ ',

-f"There is another name which willniark this conference0f'1928, and thai;is the name of a great sailor—(cheers)

—whom we have elected our president,and whoso name will always be linkedwith the two great soldiers—Earl llaigand Marshal Foch. Lord Jellicoe is nostranger to the Legion. lie has beenon the Council for a long time, and hasworked tirelessly and keenly. At thisconference he enters formally into hisofficeof"president. Wo chose him uiaiuvly because we knew him tpr possess thatono quality above all 'others which wasessential for a' successor to Loi <J Ilaig.Weknew that the men of tho Navy trust-ed him as unswervinglyas the men ofthe Army trusted Lord Ilaig. (Cheers.)Althoughthere has always boon healthyrivalry between the two senior fightingforces, the' Navy and tho Army in theLegion arc one. (Cheers.) We are justex-servicc-mon,and wo were confidentthat Lord Jellicoe was tho man for us.May his presidency last a long time, andmay it be a.very successful one.

SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM."The problem of unemployment," con-

tinued the Prince, "is tho one whichkeeps those engaged in tho work .of theLegion most busy. No easy task is pre-sented, and I am full of admirationfor the way in which the branches havebeen tackling the job, rendering greatservice not only to their comrades butto tho nation. Times have been and arestill bad—in fact, rotten. (Laughter.)But I suppose wo must, and we .will,keep up- that spirit of optimism which ,has seen us through worse days. Al-though -the Legion is naturally and ■rightly concentrating on unemployment,;it is not neglecting another matter the jpolicy of helping tho married unem-!ployed man who lives iv our great cit-ies to find fresh opportunities forhimself and his family overseas.That policy is based on tho sound-est principles, and those who wish tomake anew homo overseas are given noencouragement to do so until they haveproved their fitness for tho changb andhave been provided with genuine train-ing and instruction to fit themselvesfor the new conditions they will have toface. Thoso of us who have been over-

-1 seas know how different the. conditions! are. They mean hard work, sometimes!even harder work . than in the OldCountry, but in many cases the oppor-tunities arc better."

SOUTH SEAS CRUISE

TRADE AND ADVENTURE

(From "The Post's" Reoresantatlvt.)LONDON, Bth June.

After a nine years' tranco.in theWest India Docks the schooner Sophie,known all along the dockside as themystery ship because of her prolonged-idleness, has come to life.

To celebrate tho event (writes Com-mander Daniels in tho "Daily Mail"),she has changed her name to MyuonieR. Kirby, after the six years' olddaughter .of. her new owner, CaptainA. R. T. Kirby, before, sailing on avoyage to tho, South Seas.

Captain: Kirbf is a skipper and anadventurer'who loves life for the sakeof living. Me' is a mariner of someexperience, too, and also a daringaviator. A littlo thing like a crash onGood Friday from 2000 feet does notput him off.

He is taking a baby monoplane tothe South Soasin his schooner. "Yousee," he.said, "it folds up small, does30 miles to the gallon, and is far thebest way to visit my' friends."

Tho Mynonie R. Kirby will sail fromSouthampton in September, bound fortho South Seas,via the Panama Canal.Details of h,er voyage have not yetbeen decided; skipper and crew donot even know how long they will beaway.

'' Pleasure or business 1" the Skipper,was asked. "Both,',' he said., "I'mgoing to be the flo'attrig stores of theSouth Seas." Ho a'ddejd: "I am tak-ing out mirrors, potato peelers, powdorpuffs, everything I can think of, andon reaching an, island I shall spread awhite awning for'ard, the sign thatthe white man, will do trade.

"Then wo exchange our wares formother of pearl, copra, and molasses.The crew .are,, all voluntoers, unpaid,and sharcin ;the adventures and theprofit.'' 'Interesting,,Roman- remains have beentound at Baldock,near Letchworth.

MURDER GANG

POLICE ROUND-UP

GIRL MEMBER SHOT

A pretty Indian girl, companion of agang of notorious criminals who hadbeen lchponsiblo for the murder of sev-eral headmen of Punjab villages, washhol by the police in a midnight round-up and died a few hours later of herwounds (writes the Lahore correspon-dent of the "Daily Mail"). Her namewas Bassant Kaur, and the dramaticsicgo' of the hut in the jungle, wheresLe ,and her companions were at lasttrapped, will go down a3 a memorableease in the history of Punjab crime.

For five yearsthe ganghad induldgedin an orgy of lawlessness,and duringthe last month or so severad murdersand looting of villages have been as-cribed to them. The girl travelled withthe gang as tho lover of one of theleaders,a cripple, who had to walk withthe aid of sticks.

The story of the trailing of the gang,with the aid of native trackers, is toldby Mr. Prance, superintendent of police,well known in the PunjabPolice for thepart he has played in tho arrest of manydesperate criminals. As is usual inthese cases, the gang was given awayby an informer, who receives a squareof land for the part he played. Hereported the whereabouts of the en-campment where the girl and two of theleaders had settled themselves inChanga Manga Forest. A force ofarmed police was immediately summon-ed from Lahore and arrangements madefor following tho trail.

Native trackers used their,knowledgeof woodcraft to enable them to know,from broken twigs and hoofmarks, theexact time when the dacoits had'lastpassed with their horses to the riverbank, and discovered also the numberof the gang they might expect to findin the camp.1 The party, which was ac-companied/ by three European policeofficers, crept -through the 'jungle untilthey reached what Were evidently theoutposts of the camp. 1Peering through) the thick bushesthey saw throo figures in the rough, un-tidy camp. Suddenly 'one of themmoved, and, throwing his rifle to hisshoulder, fired at the police. The policereply was decisive, and the party rush-ed into camp to find two of the figureson the ground and another fleeing forhis life through the jungle: The leader,Kundan Singh, a notorious murderer,was dead, and tho other figure lay witha bullet wound in the thigh.

It was not until the party had ap-proached that lire discovery was madethat tho wounded figure was a youngand pretty girl, loaded with stolenjewellery and accustomed apparentlyto the wandering life led by the othermembers- of the gang. Efforts weremade' to' stem the flow of blood fromthe woundj but when transferred to hos-pital the girl died. The third memberof the gangescaped.

Kundan Singhis said to have forciblyabducted the girl, who afterwards con-sented to throw in her lot with thecriminals.

OUR PARIS LETTERPOSTAGE STAMPS

THE MINT COLLECTION

(From "The Post's" Representative.)PAEIS, 19th May.

One of the Paris treasures not viible to the ordinary visitor is tho woiderful collection of French postagstamps which is the jealousy-guardeproperty of tho Mint. It was in 184that France, following the examplecEngland, adopted the system of stamrfor franking letters, and for the firsfew years the whole of 'the work, iieluding that of casting the dies, wacarried out at the Mint, which stihas these early souvonirs as well anumbors of unused stamps printed aspecimens. In addition there are, ocourse, examples of all the colonicstamps, and, rather unexpectedly, a colection of raro foreign stamps of thperiod from 1848 to about 1863, ottamed by a process of exchange, or aa schoolboy would say,by "swopping,'with foreign Governments. The suggestion has been put forward that the co.lection would be better in tho NationsLibrary, where it could be made moreasily aecossible to the intorestod. visitor.WHERE DAUGHTER OP HENRI I]

The mansion takeiits name from the learned Magistrate(Juillaume de Lamoignon, the friend oJEscine, Boileau, and Mme. de Sevignoand contained a library of 14,000 volumes and 2000 manuscripts which h<bequeathed to the city.

"SAPHO'B" VOGUE.Alph'onse Daudet is one of the great

French writers of last century who stillfascinate. Despite the note of cjmic-ism that he betrays in the treatmentof many of his characters, especiallyof some of his women, his mercilessanalysis of motives, his clear delinea-tion, sympathy with simple honesty,and often his deep pathos will evermake a'^strong appeal. "Sapho" 'isperhaps the best examplo of his atti-tude as aa artist and moralist, and it isprobably still hie most read novel. . .ia dramatised- form, both on the stageand on the screen, it undoubtedly hasoutstripped any of his other works inworld-wide popularity. Actual evidenceis provided by the success which"Sapho" is at present enjoying at theCome'die-Francaise. Mile. Cecile Sorelis playing the title role, and lias neverbeen seen: to greater advantage Thatthe takings for this playare beating allrecords at the House of-Moliere is suf-ficient indication of the vogue of theplay.

PYTHON'S LITTLE "SNACK."The Jardin dcs Plantes is looking

forward to receiving some new inhabi-tants. A giraffe which has just-beencaptured,is expected to arrive in Sep-tember, and it is hoped to secure beforelong in 'French Equatorial Africa twohippopotami and a white rhinoceros.Unfortunately tho death rato at thogardens is sometimes heavy enough tobe the despair of those in charge. Threeof five littlo chimpanzees which arrivedsix months .agohave died of pneumoniawithin the last three weeks, one ofthem going- on a hunger strike, which'hastened1his end. ,The large python isalso refusing to ttA'j nourishment,butin case it is tlie result of indigestion fol-lowing an aldermanie meal he took be-foro he left his nativo land almost a.year ago, his little snack consisting ofa wild boar, swallowed whole. Thepython turns a jaundiced eye upon thovisitor, and even a live rabbit fails totempt has appetite.

PITFALLS FOR MOTORISTS.In some of the side streets near the

bonlevards, motorists find themselvesengaged in a kind of obstacle race,which occasionally becomes quite ex-citing. The reason is that the authori-ties, haying decided that Paris musthave more light if she is to livo upto her name, are digging holes on bothsides of these roads for * now lamp-posts. Expert drivers can, with care,negotiate these mantraps quite success-fully. It is the amateur motorist,whose skill and nerve would n^ver passa police, test, who provides tho thrill.Yesterday, for instance, three cars worestanding stationary, ono behind thoother, before a large hole in a not toowide street, waiting -until the streamof vehicles coming in the opposite di-rection had passed, when another car,driven by a woman, attempted to maketho fourth in the queue. But, alas! In-stead of:putting her foot on the brakethe drived placed il on the accelerator,with the.result that she rammed the carin front), which bumped into tho noxtjand so on, until the resulting soundssuggested a lino of railway .trucks be-ing shunted. Only good fortune andexcellent/brakes prevented tlio first carfrom falling into the pit before it, al-though its front wheels wore practicallyover the.edge.

TAXI-CAB FIND.Parisians arc forgetful folk. They

leave all manner of things in taxi-cabs,frdm priceless pearl necklaces tosheaves of banknotes. When thereforeM..Louis Barette, who is a taxi-driver,soon after setting down afare tho otherevening in tho Place Saint-Michel,spieda parcel on the seat of his vehicle, hewas not very much surprised. It mightbe someone's week-end groceries, or itmightbe—well, you never know. So heproceeded to investigate. Eemovingthe outer wrapping of the parcel, whatwas his ■ surprise when he found—notweek-end groceries, nor banknotes, norpearls, but a baby boy. He waa about15 days old, and thero was not a.singlemark on his clothes., to tell anyonewhere he had come from. M. Barettedid not want a baby, so ho called apoliceman, and the tiny boy Is now oneof the residents of that big hospital,the Hotel Dieu. Paris taxi-cabs arofull of surprises.

OXFORD DICTIONARY

FIFTY YEAES' WORK

MADMAN WHO HELPED

Dr. Johnson, whose virtues aa a dio-tionary writer included a pungenthumour if not completo objectivity, de-fined a lexieogiapher as a "harmlessdrudge." And, although there must in-evitably be much drudgery entailedin compilinga dictionary, for many thework is the consummation of *omanceand worthy of complete and absorbingenthusiasm. A body of such enthusi-asts have within the last few dayßhad the intense satisfaction of giv-ing the final pagesof the "Oxford Eng-lish Dictionary" to the world, and thecompletion of this vast work is an eventof much more than national importance

The completed dictionary cost £300,----000 to compile, and it will cost you50 guineas to buy. Nevertheless, forits bulk it is probably the cheapestbook on the market, since it containsmore than 400,000words, nearly twomillion quotations, uses 178 miles oftype, weighs about 2001b, and covers aperiod of twelvo centuries. It will, ofcourse, be always identifiable as the"0.E.D." but its full title is "A NewEnglish Dictionary on Historical Prin-ciples founded Mainly on the'MaterialsCollected by the Philological Society,edited by James A. H. Murray, withthe Assistance of Many Scholars andMen of Science."

The "0.E.D." has taken nearly fiftyyeais lo complete. There were thirtyyears of preparatory work before itwas even begun. Dr. Murray conceivedthe idea when ho was a mastoi' at MillHall School. Ho and his joint editors,Dr. Bradley, Dr. Craigie, and Dr. O.T. Onions, have had the help of a greatmany assistants and an army of volun-tary correspondents, and the'enterprisehas been financed by the Universityof .Oxford through its "Clarendon Press.In this co-operation of wealth and en-thusiastic industry is to be found oneof the finest examples extant of publicservice. Perhaps this quality is not sorare as one might believe; it can befound, if one looks for it, in the realmsof medicine, religion, philanthropy, andscience. But in few cases is it moreimportant or less conspicuous than inthis, field of academic research. Dr.Johnson was content to remain a "harm-less drudge," working in poverty formany years to produce his amazinglexicon; Dr. Murray, so exact was he,devoted six months to hard work onthe one little four-letter word "that."And were all literature to bo lost, itwould be possible from these giganticvolumes over which Dr. Murray forso- long pridedto reconstruct in muchdotail the manners and customs of ourrace since the time of King Alfred'sgreat-grandfather. :

SOME PRECURSORS.There havo been many dictionaries,

and the compilation of the "0.E.D."has been celebrated in Oxford by aninteresting exhibition at the BodleianLibrary of some of its precursors. There«are several,very quaint specimens onview, including half, a-dozen Latin-'English dictionaries, dating;from the-tenth'to the fifteenth> centuries. .Thetwo following centuries'are represented,among others, by "A litel bokeof doc-trine for iongo gentil men," and a "Dic-toonary-in Englyshe and Welsho mochenecessary to all suchc Welshemen aswill spedly learno theEnglysho tongue"(1547). The first English dictionariesappeared in the 17th century, and theseconsisted exclusively of lists of " hardwords. The contents of one, a "tablealphabeticall" (1604) were,sayjs the titlepage, "gatheredfor the benefit and'Kelpof ladies, gentlewomen, or any 'otherunskilful persons, - whereby they maythe more easily and better understandmany hard English words which theyshall hear orread in theScriptures, ser-monsor elsewhere,and so be made to usethe same aptly themselves." _ The firstimportant attempt at a dictionary orimportant attempt at a dictionary ofthe Teams Ancient and Modern ofthe Canting Crew, in Its SeveralTribesof Gypsies, Beggars, Thioves, Cheats,etc." (1720). The incomplete and lim-ited efforts in lexicography which pre-ceded.his great work emphasise the vastknowledge and indomitable characterof Dr. Johnson, and also to a lessstriking extent of his successor, theAmerican, Noah Webster. Lexico-graphers (like-many historians) de-pend on the work of their predecessorsfor the basis of their own. Johnson's-principle aid was the first "UniversalDictionary," produced by NathanielBailey, a Seventh. Day Baptist, whokept a boarding school in Stepney atthe beginning of the eighteenth cen-tury. Johnson's work was a vast im-provoment upon it, and included forthe first time illustrative, quotations.It held the field unrivalled until Web-ster's work appeared in 182$, and regis-tered a still further advance in the artof definition. Fresh and up-to<lateeditions of Webster's dictionary haveIbeen issued'since then, but tho manyrecent English dictionaries owo theirbulk very largely, to the inclusion ofmaterial which mightmore suitably befound in an encyclopaedia. That iswhere the "0.E.D." is really unique forit is an the true sense a dictionary, in.somuch as it deals as was never donebeforewith the words themselves, theirorigin and history, their forms andpronunciation, their meanings and usesand with their "relations" among otherlanguages of the world.Nor can the makerß of such a dic-tionary be content merely to hida theirheads m tho dust of ages. Every dic-tionaryis necessarily out of date beforeit is published, sinee1new words pourcontinuously into the languago; but itis desirable to be alert, since quota-,tions can often be most aptly chosen; trom current utterances. Take one|word, shingle, in tho tonsorial senso.I «.t a shot ono would give it, say, fouror fivo years of life. Actually it datesback to 18S7. It is loss surprising to[leara that, liko so many additions tothe tongue, it comes from AmericaAnd as for quotations, "wit," whichopens with one culledfrom Beowulf, con-cludes with another, no less worthyfrom Air. Baldwin. And the editors andassistants have always had hundreds ofalert voluntary "Scouts" on the lookout for new words and Worthily (orunworthily) used old ones. They haveSent in their slips in such profusionthat the permanent staff of the diction-ary have had hard work to keep abreast"of them. And these interested helpershave come from all classes. Indeed, oneextremely useful correspondent formany years sent his contributions fromBroadmoor asylum, where he beeamoan inmate after committing in a fit ofpersecution mania, a particularly thor-ough and purposeless murderThe "0.E.D." was a great conceptionand a wonderful achievement. Nor doesit detract from its permanent value toreflect upon its transient uses to theseekers after crossword puzzle solu-tions. ■■.-; .. ■.;
