ADDRESS-IN-REPLY.

Our readers will no doubt find muchto interest them in the following fullerreport of Mr. Hawken's speech in theAddress-in-Reply debate:Mr. Hawken said, inter alia, after

reiemng to Mr. At-mores speech, thatMr Atmore "paid the Government partya compliment, because there was nota bit of real criticism about the ReformParty in it Certainly he advancedthe claims of proportional representa-tion, which the- Liberal tarty hasalways advocated. We on this sideot the House do not believe in it, butwo shall agree to differ. We believe inthe present system of election, thefirst-past-the-post-system. We believe thatit is a better system than proportionalrepresentation. I have not had any"say m that question yet. Perhaps someday I may. I believe in the preiTtsystem because I am a Britisher, andI believe you should take a licking orgive one, and be done>with it, instead

for the nvf°QBP^al *rePrese»tation| toi the Civil Service, if we continueto increase the number of the civil ser-vants Pavhament will lose its controland that the civil servants will dictateto Parliament And 1 cannot help| thinking that this would be an unfor-j tunate thing for any country, and Ifeel certain that we must call a haltin a lot of these undertakings whichthe Government has been trying to zointo, and lessen the numbers of the civilservants, and be very careful not toincrease them. I admit that my elec-torate is a country electorate., and per-haps I do not see the difficulties thatsome of the town members, for in-stance may see in regard to this votebut 1 do thmk, sir, that when it comesto a question of whether the civil ser-vants should receive an increase or adecrease in their pay, then the Govern-ment which is responsible, and whichkr.ows the position of the country bet-ter thim any private member, shouldhave its word taken. It is a questionnow of what the country can afford topay its . Civil Service. We have in-creased the average wage of the civilservants in nine, years from £150 toii4o. It is fabulous to have an in-crease of £95 in the wages of any classof the community in so short a timeihe figures are right. The Depart-ment's figures can be depended upon

I am going to put a. question on theOrder Paner asking for the averagewage of the Civil Service in 1906 andagain in 1911, and 1 think it will bevery interesting to see what an enor-mous advance there has been in thewages of the Civil Service, and T hope,sir, a permanent advance in thestandard of living. Alone with everymember on this side of the House. Iwould be only too pleased to see thecivil servants paid as well as it ispossible to pay them. Nothing can bemore difficult to a member of thisHouse than to reduce the wages of thecivil servants. I admit that. It is amost difficult thing to tackle; but Iam determined, because 1 think thereare reasons why the Civil Service cutshould take place, and I want to pointthis position out: I feel certain thatif you try arbitrarily to fix wages inthe towns—l am speaking of the unionmen and the Civil Service—if you tryarbitrarily to fix their wages accordingto the cost of living, and if you allowthe country labour, which, after all ismore than half the labour in this coun-| try—if you allow the country labourer'sj wage to be fixedby demand and supply,then I say inevitably the countryj labourer's wage will gradually become! lower than the town workers. We| will take it in this way: Every manwho goes from the town through wagesbeing too high—that is, too highaccording to the usual method of fixingwages—namely,by demand and supply~- will inevitably drift into the rankspf country workers and lower thelabourer's wage in the country by un-due competition. I say without anyhesitation that that is a matter whichthis, ilousemust carefully consider because there is a constant tendency forpeople to drift from tlie country intothe town. Any enterprise which theGovernment undertakes must be madeto stand on its own bottom. The losswhich the Uovernment is making in IKjenterprise* should not pass aiono- dvmean* or_ taxation to utuer euipio^i/uiiu peu^ps at cuepresent tune aie jiibcas badly 6iWa teu as the Governmentis to pay tneir labour bills, i tHiuKtuat can ue laiu down as absolute—tnatno Government should attempt to passalong the losses, such as, tor instance,those on the railways at the presentjuncture. what are we going to doabout the losses on theramvaj^'' \IGwe going to borrow the money to makeup ior the losses, or are we going totax the other employers among thepeople m order to make up these lossesor ours, ior they are our railways ? Itis unwise, aild l thillk most unjthat that should be done, because ireel certain that the wages of countryworkers are coming down at a ratemuch faster than wages in the towns1 can tell this House without any hesiltation that in my district wages for thedairy workers are already very muchthe same as they were-before the war Iand they threaten to go lower than they Iwere before the war. It may be saidthat these men, if they joined unionsand so on would receive better wages.Hut 1 wouM point this out: Wages canonly be paid out of one fund. That isthe earmngs-t'he earnings of labour'

4&.MR. HAW.^EN'S SPEECH

lhat fund must go round, and it oughtto be equitably shared. One class oflabour should not receive 70 per centof it and the other half receive 30 percent. That is what threatens us atthe present time, and I say that thecountry worker is not so well repre-sented in this House as he ought tobe. The extreme Labour Party pre-tends to represent Labour; they reallyhave no thought for country labour atall, and I can prove it in a way thatwill perhaps carry conviction. Thecountry worker does not believe forone moment that the extreme Labourparty is his friend, oi- country workerswould treat that party very differentlyat elections. 1 would point out thatat the Dunedin election which has justtaken place, the Labour partyalthough they did not get a majorityof the votes polled, got a very bio-vote, and won the seat, But in thelatea election, with nearly eight thou-sand votes, the extremeLabour Party,after a tremendous campaign, securedonly 500 votes, and they were all in thetown. This shows that the extremeLabour view is not held by the countryworker, nor does he believe thatbe cangain any benefit from the union planwhich extreme Labour and most of thetown workers believe in. The countryworkers do not believe in it. and I donot see why the unions and the CivilService should receive better wagesthan the country worker. As long as 1am in this House I will try to see thatthe country worker is at least as wellpaid as the town man. The amountthat can be paid in wages depends onthe income of the country. Economistsall over the world have come to theconclusion that wages will stabiliseround about rates corresponding to theI value of the raw products. 1 think ifwe took that view in New Zealand itwould be a sound one. New Zealanddepends so largely* upon her raw pro-ducts for her income that to my mindthe price of these products would fur-nish the best guide as to what wagesought to be. Of course our productsat the present time, though they arenot as low in price as they were, yetdo not show the increase over pre-warprices that wages do, esperiallv CivilService wages—not by a long way. Asto what should he done in a time ofslump such as this country is goingthrough at present, it seems to methere are only two ways in which" "thesituation can be met; either you mustreduce expenditure or your must in-crease your income. 1 want, sir, toj have something to say about the pro-

i posed legislation in reference to agri-i cultural banks. I believe that the

j working capital of this country is veryshort. The Liberal Party lay greatstress upon the subdivision of land and

#the importance of the bursting up of. big estates . I believe that at the pre-; sent time there is a very great oppor-, i tiniitv for subdividing a' great deal ofj good land. $Iy reaso?i for thinking soi , is that the men who have been fatten-. ing cattle now find that their business" is unprofitable. New Zealand has been. receiving during the war about £3?000,-

---. 000 a year from the export of frozen; beef, but it is found now that this. i trade has become entirely unprofitable, A great many of the "returns from; ( frozen beei exported recently to the■ j°'(I . Country ] iave been mOst dis-. jappointing. In some cases the shippers. i have had to meet reclamations. They, i h«ve not only lost the value of thefr. i stock, but have had to pay money asj well. Practically speaking,'beef now inl New Zealand is worthless for the pur-, poses of export. I consider from all. -signs that can be seen that beef will[ jcease to be exportedfrom New Zealand

> ! within two years. It has already fallen. to almost a negligible quantity, ant"; perhaps that will not be a bad th'ino- fOI, the country. If tlie land which is'now. used for the purposeof raisingbeef were, turned into grazing pastures for dairy. cows, I am certain that the income oi, the country would be rapidly increased.[ J want to point out to the House, the. extraordinary increase that has taker. place in two years in the production of> butter and cheese in the Dominion., .Inose two products have more than, doubledin quantity in two short years.r If the Government can' lend; i money m such a way, that the lease-i., holder or the small man can get mone\. to build his cowshed and dwelling, and

> perhaps to buy a herd. A great many. of the large farmholders who have, been- holding on to their land all these. years will subdivide their land either; jior lease or sale, and we will then have, . reached the end which we have' been,: striving for for a very long period, I directly you get through the moun-, tains from here to Paekakariki, ri^htup to Palmerston, it is noticeable thatthere is a great quantity of dairy landon which there are still running storecattle or sheep. The whole of that land, should be cut up for dairying purposesjH has been declared that we have not, been active enough in cutting up bi«estates, but in that connection I wantto point this cut, that the Oppositionwhen they were m power talked aboutI cutting up big estates. They werej always against the big estates." but iti was not until this present Parliament

" that taxation was put on that will."eventually compel every large lancl-owner m this country to sell his pro-. perty. f v

I Mr. Witty: But yea are not imposing

Mr. Hawken: It is imposed. Let meremind the House that when the Billcame before the House there was not"single member on the opposite sidewho said that the taxation was nothigh enough. I remember the debateon the Bill very well indeed, and vetthey come back again and say it wasnot enough that we have not clone ourduty AVell, sir, I believe that theJarge landowners cannot stand the rateof taxation which we have imposedupon them It was. of course, most un-fortunate that we passed that legisla-tion. If the Liberal Party had passedthat legislation fifteen years ago it! "m had a very different effect.\Ye unfortunately passed that legisla-tion when land was falling seriously invalue and it has become so difficulttr> sell that a Government needs to beabsolutely conscienceless to force landon to the market at the present priceIf a man was compelled to sell his landat the present time it is certain thathe would receive an amount far amiaway below its real value, and it wouldbe most unfortunate for everybody werethat to take place. The position h,regard to a lot of these landownersis that ior twenty years past a manwho owned a f.iirlv large place farmedit, and got a good deal of sntisfnotionfrom his rarming, perhaps. He did nottake ui> dairying, for a man rnnnot Idairy unless-he/ attends to the worl,-himself. rlhe share-milking system indairying—and lam speakinp-V some-thing that I have studied for n loth*t.me-is not very much more profitablethan fnt-fnmb raising or general f,-n-m----insr. The consequence was that. thes«landowners, seeing that the land was

rising every year,' perhaps to the extent'.of £i or per acre, stuck to their

" fat-lamb raising and beef raising, and

' were content with the rise in value otj their land. 1 want to point out to the'House that that has ceased. Land isgoing down in value, not going up, and tevery large landowner-must very soon 'be compelled to make the best "use of j: his land in the way of farming, and not ;

\in the way of speculating. Let me tell ;the House that speculating in land is.absolutely wiped off the slate for thisgeneration at least.

Mr. Witty: And a good thing, tow.

Mr. Hawken: i'es, it is a good thing; !I am not falling out with the honoui- Ij able member on that point. JBut 1j want to emphasise the point that it is |highly desirable that more money shouldbe put into the business, because wnenthese men sell or lease their land it

jshould be the smaller men who take it! up. Those who take the land up -will

require a great many houses and cowana 1 believe tliat the properI way to go about improving the condi-j tions of the country is the improvu-I ment of the revenue through encourag-

ing the dairy industry. Though themanager of the Bank of New Zealandstated that the auctioneers and otherscan and do finance the dairyman andfarmers generally, still the auctioneersjin their financing depend very largely

lon the turnover. That is their com-| missions. They do not depend so muchlon the interest which they charge. The- 'In.-rvmnn. sir, does not w:ant to changehis stock. The averagefarmer will perhaps change all his stock in two years^but the dairyman buys his cows andikeeps them until they are ten or twelveyears old. Of course that is no goodto auctioneers' finance. Some other

' mptlwi of finance would be better forthe dairymen, and the agriculturaljbank would be a very desirable systemof finance for the small dairy farmer.At the beginning of the dairy industryin^ Tara.naki the system adopted wasthis: that a dairyman paid so muchof his monthly cheque to the land-owner by way of rent or purchasemoney, and that system could bereadily,adapted to the working of an agricul-'tural bank, and would put it on a morestable footing than would otherwisebethe case. The dairyman receives cashevery month, except in the two or threewinter months. I hope the Governmentwill do its best to bring in this innova-tion, for it would meet with, a greatdeal of success. The legislation passedlast year in reference to the control ofmeat seems to me to be a thorough suc-cess, and I hope to see the institutionof agricultural banks a. greater successeven than that was. The Advances toSettlers fund—it was, I think, £11,000,----000, and it has been going now fortwenty-seven years—was a, great idea.It brought in ready money for the use"of the settlers, and had a tremendouseflVt on the farming industry in NewZealand. But the position of the fundto-day is this, that £6,000,000out of !the £11,000,000has gone into houses in ,the towns—not into productive worKat all. or to the farmers, but to the jtownspeople. That money, or the turn-over of the money, which is a consider-able sum annually, should be returnedbo the farming industry, and should be Iused to finance the agricultural banks. ![ believe implicitly that the income of';his country can be rapidly and profit-ibly increased in a very' short time,!iml that is the course to take. A cer- jam amount of ready money, put into }lairying especially, would have a good :sffeet on the country's finances, and ' ]rould be in the country's interest. I ,

Mr. AVittv: .At the expense of the jest of the people.Mr. Hawken : You can always denend

n the dairyman doing his part. There 1?no man in this country who can point ifinger at the dairyman and say that i

fc he is neglecting his business or that her is not doing his best to puil New Zea--1 land out of the mire. An increase sucht as has taken place in dairying is mar-■s vellous, considering that the price has3 i fallen, and I think the dairymen should1j be encouraged. Even if we lose a littlei . money it will pay us over and overf j again. The position of the sheep far-b ; mer does not lead us to suDpose that1 ; the returns from .that industry can be

3 greatly increased for some time. Un-s fortunately, the flocks .of sheep in New-Zealand have decreased in spite of the. fact that the sheep man is looked on,

"»* tho profiteer. Apparently it has not! j been paying as weil as we thought it■ was. The sheep flocks have debasedL by 4,000,000 in four years, or 15 per> cent. Sir, it will take us a long time,1, I am afraid, to breed' up the sheep1 '. flocks to their maximum numbers again.'_ So that from the point of view of num.'" bers we cannot look to any great in-| crease in the income of the country[ from her sheen flocks. lam veryhope.

fnl that the wool "industry will revive." j Afc the present time it is not nearlyjas profitable as many people think The■ javeraee of 6d per lb obtained at the

' i last Wellington sale is only two-thirdsj of the pre-war price, and a very great; deal less than half of the war price.I Mr. Witty: That was chiefly coarse, wool.j Mr. Hawken: Yes, the bulk of thej wool of New Zealand. Unfortunately,i it is not bringing the money we wouldlike, but I think that within the nexttwo or three years our wool, which isso low in price at present, will probably| bring very good prices indeed—probably

a better price than it brought beforethe war. Of course our lomb and mut-ton markets are good. New Zealandseems to be specially suited for two or. three particular industries.

BOY AND GIRL FRIENDS.

HOW THEY CAN HELP OXIiAiNOTHEK

ADVICE TO SENIOR CADETS

An appeal to them to expect 4.he- testof their girl friends was made by MrsM. H. Chatfieid in the course of hex-address to Senior cadets in Wellington."There is no real reason," she said,"why our girls and boys should not bethe best of good friends, provided theyhonour one another and 'neighbour' oneanother in the best sense of the word.But so soon as two of the oppositesexes show a preference for each otheifoolish talk and chaff ensues. Eitherone or the other—or perhaps both—"become seTisitive to the unpleasant factthat people are 'talking/ and the plea-santness is gone. Therefore, if youwish to be good neighbours, don't gossip,and, above all, never repeat conhoences.The girl of to-day is being continuallyfound fault with" for one reason andanother. Some of the fault-finding isjustified; but some of her wrongdoingis the direct result of 'bad neighbour- ]ing' on the part of boys and young tmen. Some of the older men are in *fault, tow. <

"What sort of girl do you pay most 1attention to, boys? What sort of part- (

ners do you select at the dances, ]young men? What sort of a girl do ;you take to the pictures, or give the ('glad-eye' to in the street? Are they ,the quiet, lady-like girls who have too Jmuch self-respect to wear X^ray clothes, ■pneumonia blouses, and indecently short (skirts? Or is the girl you encourageby flattering attentions (which everygirl naturally likes) the one whose na-tural skin is covered with powder, herlips with paint, and whose clothing isjust sufficiently covering to be withinwhat is required by the law? Thereare a good many of these girls aboutto-day, but none of you boys or youngmen sliould have a word op criticismto throw at them—for yoti are re-sponsible for them; you create- the de-mand for such girls, and the light-minded and ill-biought-up produce thesupply. Then sometimes—pretty often,too—this sort of girl is chosen as awife. Then immediately she is expectedto know how to keep house; to rearchildren properly and healthily; and becontented to stay at home and makehome life quite happy. And all thatmust be accomplished by one ordinaryhuman being who has not the slightestidea, inclination, or for any- 'thing of the sort. It does not soundreasonable, does it? Why expect impos-sibilities, or be angry when a personacts only according to her nature andinclination? If you marry a gay,smart office or factory girl, who startedin that sort of life from school, andwho. has spent her evenings mostly atdances or going to the pictures andtheatres, don't expect her to be im-mediately domesticated, but be patientand help her to do her best in her.newsphere by good example and every othermeans in your power. There would befar fewer divorce cases if young menrealised their responsibilities towardstheir neighbours, the girls.

"Exactly the same applies to thegirls. If they set a high standard ofconduct for their young men friends,find consistently 'turn down' gambling,drinking, 'gay' young men, they canhelp by creating a demandfor the best.It is one of the sad things which decentwomen and girls regret just now thatthere are so many of their number whodeliberately dress po as to> attract theworst side of men."

FARM AND DAIRY.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

A list of Jersey sires which have sixor more daugaiers in the advanced re-gister of ment list of the .New Zea-land official herd-test includes severalof great interest to Victorians, fromtheir connection with Mr G. T. Chirn-side's stud. The old Melbourne cham-pion Jersey bull, Lord Twyiish, haseight daughters recorded, includingone which lias given 6471b butter-fat inthe season. The bull Starbright hasnine daughters in the list. BrightonTwyiish, Nobie Twyiish, Charm's Twy-iish. and Fancy's L»ord~ Twyiish haveamongst them 40 certificated daugh-ters, and three by the lastnamed bullhaves an average of 7081b fat in 365days.

Mr F. E. Hannaford, of MurrayBridge (S.A.), recently landed fromNew Zealand some Friesiuns, whichshould prove valuable additions to theAustralian, herds. A bull, l.ongreach

i General Botha, five years old. was bredby Mr J. C. N. Grigg, and is by L.Big Patch, dam L. Transvaal Beauty,

i wtnch has a record of 12;C0Slb milk,4291b fat in 314 days. General Bothawon nine championships in New Zea-land. The four "heifers were all bred atRosevale, by Messrs North and Sons,and are descendants of the famousBurkeyje Sylvia Posdh (imp.) Theheifers are m calf to Echo Syivia SirGriselda, a grandson of May EchoSylvia. '■;. " J:

Messrs Flack and Sewell, of Ber-wick, Australia, have recently importedfrom New Zealand four Friesianheifers by sons of the famous BurkeyjeSylvia Posch, which produced 5051b.,6101b., 6791b., 7321b., and 983ib. fat dur-ing thefirst five years she was under test.Three of these heifers are in calf tosons of Westmere Princess Pietertje,which produced 9391b. fat as a four-year-old. The fourth heifer is m calfto a doubhs grandson of May EchoSylvia imported from America I>yMessrs H. North and Sons, Otago, NewZealand. These heifers have beenspecially selected to mate with thejunior herd hire at Burnbank, he beingalso a son of Burkeyie Sylvia Posch. iIt is. understood that the insulated

steamer Canadian Scottish is to loadmeat in New Zealand for Japan, thisbeing the first occasion that such ashipment has been made. Generally,it has been accepted that the low rateof earnings and the partiality for arice diet was against the Japaneseusing meat as a regular article of food, iIt is inferred that the presence in 'Japan of so many American and Euro- jpean residents and visitors may account jfor the shipment going forward.. A re- jport is current that the use of meat in ■the Japanese army is extending. Anydevelopment in this direction would beof interest. In any case, the result ofthe shipment will be watched, for itwould be a great gain to,the Austra-lasian trade if any large opening forthe meat trade could be found in theEast.

The Tauhei correspondent of the Wai-kato Times reports a meeting to con-sider the proposed dairy company atMorrinsville. One speaker explainedthe position that had arisen to causeMorrinsville to break away from theN.Z.D.A. In advocating the. formationof a small company, the speaker con-sidered "that in small companies everysupplier was more in touch with head-quarters, and suppliers took a moreintelligentinterest in company affairs.There was less waste, better manage-ment, and a better article was pro-duced; also a factory in the districtimproved the land values. Regardingfinance, the banks had agreed to lind 75per cent, of the money, the rest to befound by the suppliers. The 25 percent, to 1)e found by the suppliers wasnot asked for in one payment, but wasdivided into two equal payments, onetobe paid on allotment and the secondin -Stcember."

Speaking to a Herald reporter ,whooaiu a visit to Mr. Kurth's farm atJmata, a most successful and.progres-sive fanner, the latter said that plentyjf feed is essential to dairying, and.coking round the variouspaddocks one:-ould see that here attention had beenpaid to this necessity, as oaten hayand meadow haystacks were to beabserved. Besides this, root crops werestill available, paddocks of mangolds, ;carrots and swedes still waiting atten-";tion. On mentioning the abundanceof feed;- "The Squire" smiled and re-marked that one could not have toomuch for the stock. "In these days,wheo. one runs risk of club root, dryrot, etc., in swedes, what do you recom- 'mend as the ideal crop?" "Carrots,every time," replied the.Squire. "Togrow these requires a little more atten-tion, but it pays every time. Cultiva-tion is the keynote to a bumper crop.If you have the ground to spare therows could easily be placed 2ft. Gin.apart, and then one could run a horsecultivator between the rows. Then youwould probably get carrots of greatsize. _ But where you crowd the rowsthe size of the root is not to be com-pared to the wider space, where sun-shine can give every assistance. Keepthe hoe or cultivator going, the groundloose and free from weeds, and one cansecure a good crop."

NOTES BY THE WAY.The practical value of autumn andwinter teed is being demonstrated moreand more every year. In fact it haslong been proved an absolute essential

to the best, and most profitable dairyfarming. The fine exhibits of Choii£m «at the Winter Show by MrV. 11. Beetham, of Matapu,, emphasisesthe value of that fodder, as it hasoften been demonstrated in the Mou-mahaki State Farm exhibit at variousshows during the past several years.Mr Beetham has a crop of this use-ful autumn fodder which is worth in-spection by anyone interested Hesowed 2£ acres on September 5 com-menced feeding on January 16] andkept going for two months, givingpart of the time a double ration daily.trom that time until June he gave hiscows a load each day. and has stillthree-quarters of an acre left. TheChon Moellier comes again, he says, fortwo years and then goes out. He had56 cows feeding on it and it was theironly autumn feed. The crop madeseven to eight feet in height, and he esti-mates it at 134 tons to the acre. Thecattle ate practically every portion,stalk and head.

Talking to a successful dairy far-mer at Matapu, who is keen on anynew methods that tend towards im-provement of conditions, and conse-quently better returns, he told a Starrepresentative that a certain amountof bran helps the dairy stock againstthe strain of the winter and of thecalving time, when they need to boin the- best possible condition.He is also a strong advocate of saltfor dairy stock, finding that the cowsare keen after the aniseed in the saltThis desire for salt was shown speciallylast year, when he found that one ofhis heifers, which had had no salt givenwith its food, had got to a parcel ofBait wrapped up, and had opened itwith, its teeth. He has found it neces-

aary sometimes to encourage the youncstuck to taKe to salt, oy patLing soni"in tne gram. Jtte has auenvaitis ioanctnem so Keen on tne bait mat ms cot>;wouid get away witn twenty pounds ntwenty-tour hours. He has found thaiit is useiul preventive ot supping.The increased returns from smaliei. areas is borne out by tlie experience oia Matapu farmer, lie was formerly ir.partnership on a farm of 240 acres, anttwo or three years back each parfcnej. took half of tne farm. He himself n, now getting nearly as mucr.. rrom the half as they previously gotfrom the whole area, i^rom the 12Cacres his returns for three years havebeen 12,125, 12,907, and 16,0(X)lbs. olfat. His partner is doing about aswell. There is no doubt the call formore intense farming is very strong."Have an ideal cow m >our mind inbuilding up a herd," said a progressive, dairy farmer the other day. "If youwish to get the besb, you must have along view and prepare by looking twoor three years ahead."

HYGIENE ON DAIRY FARMS.

' Talking to one of the milking mach-ine proprietors at the Winter bhow, aStar representative was given some in-formation which showed tiiat New Zea-land in comparison to her area of dairy-ing country, was much ahead of mostcountries in her use of the machine.America, he said, did not us© the;machine nearly so much. A feature ofIAmerican dairying methods, however,which much impressed him, was thevery strict attention to hygiene in alltheir methods. The factories pay, hesaidj. on bacterial test, and not"on but-ter-fat as in this country. Americaand England had not progressed nearlyso much in their ui?e of the machine,and he considered there was a greatfield for extension in both countries.He was emphatic about the need for acampaign of cleanliness in the milkingsheds, and considered it would be a\vise move to have a school for instruc-tion in the use of the machine and its■construction and care, so that know-ledge of this nature might be dissemin-ated and users assisted in their work.

Eltham Factory, it is understood,have apDointed an inspector to do test-ing and overlook machines for dairyfarmers. This is a good move, and onethat should be encouraged, and mightspread with advantage to p.ll concernedin the industry to know, if ever, it isnecessary to keep the dairy produceof the Dominion at the highest possiblepoint of quality. This would add tothe campaign greater production. ;

THE £ S. D. OF COW TESTING.

(Australasian.) "

"No fewer than 101 purebred cowscompleted official tests during May,with, butterfat results equal to or ex-ceeding the standard. This is a recordfor any month in the history of hera-testing in New South Wales. The ex-tent ot the work is also instanced bythe fact that the number on test inJune was 505, representing 07 regis-tered herds. This is in addition tomany hundreds of cows—grade andpure—tested by the unofficial districtassociations. In the 273 days' tests10 cows produced upwards of 10,OOUIDof milk, the lead being taken, bytheDarbalara milking Shorthorn MelbaXVII, with 14,06418. The feature ofthe period, however, was the perform-ance of the Department of Agricul-ture's Guernsey, Hope of Wallingbar,now in her eighth year. She looks safeto join the select band of 10001b buttercows by the completion of her fullyear's lactation. This distinction shenarrowlymissed in her previous season.Jersey men are comparing the produc-tion of Olivette with that of the Fri-sian, Woodcrest Johanna Tehee, holderof theAustralian milkrecord, and gam-ing much satisfaction from the factthat, while Olivette's X1,9801b of milkin 273 days was equal to 690.121b but-terfat, Johanna Tehee's 20,1601b repre-sented no more than 689.31b for th«*like period. The big Friesian was stall-fed generously and milked thricedaily; the smaller Jersey nad a frac-tion the better of it in butterfat with-out special feeding, and on two miik-ings a day. It is these points offriendly rivalry between the breeds thatadd zest and interest to the testing, ibut it is the £ s. d. value of the officialrecords to thebreeder tliat is stimulat-;ing the work more than anything else.

LABOUR AND CAPITAL.(Paper read by Mr J. S. Tosland at

a meeting of the Pihama branch of theN.Z. Farmers' Union).

In my last essay I dealt with the !creation of wealth. I further in the 'paper showed the comingling of twogreat factors—labour and capital. !Before I proceed further perhaps I hadbetter define each so that later theremay be no confusion. \7e showed thatin the beginning labour was needed tocreate capital, and we further provedthat capital in its turn was of equalbenefit to labour inasmuch that it cre-ated more labour and more capital.We saw that, properly used, it was agreat help to mankind, as it made pos-sible the development of primitivelands. Labour is mainly constituted bythe actual manual work which its vo-taries fulfil in a given time,j Capital.—On the other hand capital■is the unexpendedportion of a sum, qj;jit may be the carry over from a previ-ous year. For example, a man mayhave a quantity of potatoes. He eatsa certain number and decides to planta portion. This portion represents hiscapital for the time being. Naturallythis extra saving has meant a certainself-denial for the present in order toprovide for the future. I may here bepermitted to say that as a rule for-tunes and independence are built upchiefly by self-denial and industry.Ilowever, to get back to my subject,on the occasion that one man saved aportion of his potatoes in order thatthe future was provided for, his neigh-bour ate all his. When it came toplanting time he had none to set. Foodhe had to have, so he hired himself tothe man who had saved a portion andassisted him to plant his crop. Thisextra labour enabled the cultivation tobe good. A good crop resulted. Theman who owned it, not requiring allfor his own use, again sold a portionfor more labour, and in this way hiredlabour or, in other words, capital andlabour originated. However, some men,not having the wherewithal to pay, labour, conceived the practice of slav-

! cry. Here there was no pay, but theslave became the individual propertyof one man. It would have beenthought that very little difficultywould have been experienced, as eachemployer would give or pay exactlywhat lie could afford. This in theprimitive sense is correct, and I maysay that, being fundamentally right, it. can always be used as a true standard.However, in course of time barter gaveplace to money, and from thence onthe system became more complicated.■In the days of barter there weretimes when through drought, flood,etc., there was little or no crop togather. This in its turn meant a uni-versal shortage and an all-round curtailment to allow sufficient to be hel

I . for seed time. Sometimes the famine1 became so acute that all hired workerswere dismissed. It is the eld rule oi* throwing the cargo overboard in orderIto save the ship, I have stressed

these points, as although hundreds of. years separate antiquity and the pre-. sent yet to a greater or lesser degreet

the same principles apply. After bar-ji ter gave place to money the real trad-. ing systems out of which grew nations,' commenced. The capitalist, or the one| jwho had enterprise, money, and land,. j'now produced not only for his own) uses and to pay his workers, but he be-s gan to sell his goods for. money and:, other articles. This in its turn ere-. ated in him a desire for gain. To get. more he imposed harder conditions onthose whom he employed. Wherever, slavery could be applied it was done., jThere is no doubt about it that prac-tically all earlier civilisations not only,| countenanced it, but built great indus-, i tries up solely by slave labour. In mvarticle on "Creation of Wealth" I! mentioned how peoples who sanctionedslavery have fallen. I will not here

give the reason, but will do so in an-other paper.During all these earlier civilisationswe never approached anywhere near

our present state. Labour'as we know"it to-day did not exist. However, with■■ the era of Christianity man was placedon a new relationship to man. Warpedcruel and slow may have been the pro-

' gress upward, but nevertheless sure.It is said that England was more de-mocratic in 1050 than she was until( after 1500. The true Saxon- was alwaysa plain spoken, liberty-lovingman. Inthe Saxon Witan (or Parliament) thecommon man could voice his grievance.England was in 1066 subjugated by theNormans, and for nearly 500 years theSaxon spirit was recovering and finallyburst through the feudal environment.Up came Watt Tyler, De Montfort,Wycliffe, those Commonwealth giants—Elliot, Pym, -Hampden, Cromwell, andhosts of, others. Whether it is gener-ally recognised or not these men, con-sciously or unconsciously, shaped Eng-land and the world as we have it to-day. They laid the foundations forpractically all the progress made to-day. Watt Tyler proved that, whenoutraged, even the most servile will-.ul-timately rebel. De Montfort laid thefoundation of our representative sys-tem of Parliaments. Wycliffe daredto do and revolutionised learning. Thegiants of the Commonwealth showedthat to trample too much on the libertyof a people evenkings, on their throneswere not safe. Should my readersthink I am digressing I may say thatall this information and more, such asthe abolition of slavery, is essential toshow the parallel of how great up-heavals of the past have produced thisgreat and splendid nation of to-day—a nation and a world fraught with in-dustrial unrest.

As I said earlier, much wanted moreand did not care how it was produced.With the great strides made by ourcivilisation, however, the working manwas allowed to be educated;' poorlyand slowly at first, but still surely. Outof these ranks rose men—real lion-hearts—and they fought to give thisgreat social leveller—education—toevery child, and with the advent ofthis came the action of genuine con-certed labour to better their condi-tions. Unions hitherto unknown orforbidden sprang up, and by united ac-tion much of the former servility andabuse was overcome.

There never yet was a reform but itcan become a destroyer of those whodirect it. So it is to-day with Capitaland Labour. Capital haa not now toolswhich Labour cannot likewise makeuse of. The "Utopia of Labour is toeliminate Capital altogether. Theo-retically this sounds feasible, and ifevery man was a counterpart of the"Carpenter" it would be possible.However, to crush Capital really meansstifling industry, enterprise, initiative,and progress. If any Labour body at-tempted to run a country on entirelyCommunistic lines the result wouldhappen so: First, rapine and robbery;secondly, shortage of food owing to thecrushing of individual enterprise;thirdly, much dissension would takeplace, and out of it would come a mili-tary dictator, who would rule by force,protect private property, give confi-dence to traders, and finally recon-struct the capitalistic system with theworker on a lower level. Should anation be incapable of recovering itsequilibrium then it would naturallysink into oblivion. These things havehappened over and over again duringthe last six thousand years. From thestudy of economies one is convincedthat there is a haiance line "betweenCapital and Labour. As no produceever remains at a fixed price owing tothe natural laws of supply and demandit naturally follows that the balanceline between the two is ever oscillatingor, in other words, to enable each toproperly live wages must be moveable.

Owing to the tremendous complexityof economies a true adjustment wouldbe difficult under ordinary conditions,but add to this the keen resentmentof a worker to take less the problembecomes so complicated that, like theSocialistic extreme, nature takes ahand. This, of course, will mean in-jdividual hardship, much unemployment,

' and a great loss of production. At thepresent time the world is economicallyunbalanced. There are men who un-derstand the social system. Howeverthey are few, and Labour, grown arro-

I gant by the long years of prosperityand united strength, still thinks it canremain untouched whilst her employer

,is ground to pieces. If Labour fails to! realise that adjustment is necessaryjand must take place, then long year'sI will pass before the depression will be

gone. It is said that to lower wagesrestricts buying power. We will notdispute this, but first show that if aman employed three men at £4 a weekwhen his income was £50 a month, if itfell to £30 it must be obvious to themost bloated man that either two menmust cease work or the whole threetake a reduction of 30s a week. It 'isjno use talking. The foregoing is a law!as immutable as the course of thejstars. The cost of living has nothingwhatever to do with it, and so longas that bogey is harboured just so

| long Avill our troubles be with us. Theworking man, however, always bringsin the cost of living cry. He will nottake less, so the employer first dis-penses with the services of one, work-ing himself for nothing in order tokeep up production. However, he stillcannot make ends meet, so anothergoes. Production is lessened, which inits turn regulates the cost of livingand nothing else, whilst two men arenow begging or starving with theirfamilies.I quite understand the antipathy on

the employer's part; likewise theviciousness of those who receive largesalaries in having them reduced. Theattitude of Labour has fully convincedme of the base, perhaps unthinking,selfishness of the worker generally. Itis one man crying to crush the other.Socialism with such a frame of mind isimpossible, unspeakable. The Capital-ist is certainly under ordinary circum-stances differently situated to Labour.Practically all professions, trades andmanufacturers are in a position to passthe extra cost on to the consumer. Soit follows that the dentist, finding teacosts 6d per lb more, correspondinglycharges an extra shilling for the ap-

pointment; the grocer's sugar, owingto the watersider asking an extra 6dper hour, costs him Id per lb more, so ''he charges it on. So it is -with manu- jfactured goods—the cost of production "all passed on to the consumer. Now jwe come to the farmer. He produces,and as his product is-regulated by the |law of supply and demand it follows ■he cannot pass anything, on. Upon his 'shoulders must fall any slump. In an iagricultural and pastoral country any jdrop in the farmer's products is a more iserious matter than* most people areaware of. The illustration I previously jgave should clearly prove the national 1.position. If the value or returns of iour produce have fallen to nearly half, Jthe true remedy is that immediately- jwages should correspondingly recede to !mitigate unemployment on one side 'and bring down the cost of living onthe other. Nothing else in the worldcan do it. It may be possible to pro- ;long the high rate by borrowing moneyat a high rate of interest, but this isnot the true solution, as ultimately, ifpersisted in, the extra taxation willonly make the posiiton worse. Thereare certainly two classes of people whoshould go hand in hand—they are thefarmer and the worker. However, atthe present time the worker is crush- iing his hardest worked friend, whilst !the professional man and the trader]and certain trades are bleeding both |.white. I saw mentioned that there ishould be a minimum wage. There "should also be a maximum wage. It 'costs Bill Smith of the unemployed as ■much a day to reasonably live' as it \does the highly paid official, who, when 'all is said and done, rarely earns what \he receives. !

On reviewing the whole matter Icannot blame Labour, neither do Iblame the employer who tries to adoptthe only means in his power to keepgoing; but I blame all for not havingbusiness acumen enough to treat thewhola business as would a bank direc-torate and make it pay even thoughour income (which is the value of ourproducts) has fallen to half. If thiswere done there would be no talk aboutrailways not paying, or someone wouldjump until they did; there would beno congested, over-paidpublic services,and incidentally no deficit in the rev-enue. The worker and the farmer can-not bear the present cost of. taxation;then those for whom taxes are leviedwould have to" give full value for itor otherwise go. The solution is plain.Can anyone carry it out?It may have been thought in the

course of this lengthy paper that I mayhold strong prejudices. I hold strongconvictions, which I feel would solvethe present stress through which thenation is passing. Our present Gov-ernment is probably the oest we- couldhope to have, but is failing to handlethe position properly. If left alonewith our present burden of taxationmany long years must pass before trueprosperity is with us again. In writ-ing as I have I feel that I have butturned a furrow whilst the great fieldis untouched on either side, yet suffi-cient is done to show the nature of theland and prove whether or not theopening is straight.

DEMONSTRATION BY MR F. MILLS

A demonstration on pedigree Ayr-shire cattle by the Ayrshne Asocia-Lijn s ofricial demonstrator, Mr F.Mills, of Hawera, was given on Mr C.B. Morgan's farm, at Ngawapurua, re-cently (.states an exchange). There'wasa laige attendance of interested far-mers. Mr Hansen, of Te it-lieunga, in-troduced the speaker, and expressed' theopinion that, considering the* experienceof Mr Mills, "the demonstration wouldbe of great benefit to the dairy far-mers.

Mr Mills explained that he consider-ed himself a practical farmer. Hiscattle had to pay their way, and if he,had not been satisfied with the wayhis Ayrshires were doing he would havechanged. He dd not infer that theAyrshire the only good breed-. Itmight have one or two advantages overothers, but at the same time othermeeds, under certain conditions, mightbe better than the Ayrshire. For ex-ample, the Friesians, which came fromthe rich plains of Holland, were reallygood cows, under suitable conditions.One authority considered that Friesianswei© not a success on poor dairy coun-try. Mr Mills had nothing against theJersey. He admitted it was a splendidbreed, provided the conditions werefavourable. Taking all things into ■con-sideration, he considered the Ayrshire,which originally came froni^ Scotland,where the conditions were haa-d, themost adaptable beast. Mr Mills'thenproceeded to demonstrate the ideal Ayr-shire cow. He explained that thepoints were the same generally speak-ing as for the Jersey, and the Blackand Whites. The Ayrshire, taking thebreed all through, was nearer the idealcow than the others. In supportof hiscontention he quoted the 'results ofshows. There were fewer Ayrshiresentered in the dairy cow class in pro-portion to other breeds, but they man-aged to more than hold their own. AtHawera the Ayrshire had won threetimes in five years, despite their smallentry. He considered that it just wentto prove that the breed was nearer theideal type than the others. He con-gratulated Mr Morgan on the exhibits,considering them good dairy cows andtyp:cal of the breed. Mr' Mills thenproceeded to demonstrate the points de-sired in a typical cow.

Amongst the exhibits of which MrMills snoke highly of were the follow-ing cows: Ellesmere Laso: Semi-officialtest as a two-year-old, 328.931b. butter-fat, and 387.691b. as a three-year-old.This cow is consideredone of the great-est type of the breed in the DominionA yearling daughter of this cow wasplaced first at Carterton, Woodville,and Masterton shows this season Asplendid bull calf (a full brother to theheifer) was also on view. Both of thesewere sired by a son of Ellesmere Lass.Another cow of great type was Clo-nne, a grand-daughter of the importedbull Neatherston King Jerry. This cowshows a great character, and was placedsecond for best cow in milk at theCarterton Show. It is the intentionor the owner to place this cow underS.O. test. Considering she has milkedwell over 601b. a day, a good record byher is anticipated.

Sprightly 111. of Haydowns, aCowan bred cow, being dam of Unitathe winner of the New Zealand cham-pionship was another cow much admiredby those present. This cow has aSOrecord of 4591b. of butter-fat, put upunder herd conditions. Severafoi her■-s have proved their worth in othera^"-y herds.Pearl another rr.reat bodied cow, alsotook the eye of the public. This cowhnH a great show career, winnino-

prizes at Carterton, Palmerston North"JJannevirke. and Woodville. Includedin her winnings is the championship(."up tor the best dairy cow of any breedat Dannevirke, which she won threeyears m succession, registering her firstwin as a three-year-old.

Bluebell is another great producerwho nut. up 5261b. butter-fat under&.O. test as a three-year-old (milkedonly twice a day). This cow is the damof the young bull Mr Morgan sent toAustralia in exchange for the presentJ-ero sire. Thisbull, Chudleiirh of Lady-bank, was bred by Mr E. W. Oliver,of Tasmania, and was from his greatn,-orlMcer ami S]IOW . cow goncie whomade up to 211b. of butter-fatper weekand put un 4001b. butter-fat in six-intlm. TMs bull has been shown at< n^erton. Masterton, and Woodville,and was placed first on each occasVniapmst big competition, being alsoplaced champion at WoodvilleMr Mills concluded by saying thatunder ordinary herd conditions theAyrshire held its own. and that in cer-tain narts of the Dominion it was theonly breed of cow that should be kent.M> M:lls was heartily applauded forhis- interesting and instructive ad-dress.

Mr Gorringe, of the Agriculture De-partment, was also present and <ra.ve ashort address on pig breeding and r>ip-teeding which, was greatly appreciatedhv the farmers. Tt was' un.-rnimouslyrie-ided to ask the Department at somefuture date to allow Mr Gorringe toaddress a meeting of tho.se interestedin the piX industry at Woodville

SPORTS AND PASTIMES

RUGBY NOTES.

(From Our Okaiawa Correspondent.)Followers of Rugby were well catered

for during Winter allow \\eek, lourmatches being played on the show-grounds, 'ihe exhibition given by ourrepresentative team agamst \\ e.lnig-ton was very poor indeed, and unlessthere^ a. very great improvement^ intheir play the chances ot them beingable to pull otf even one match in theforthcoming tour are very poor. Thedate chosen for departure is also toolate in the season for country mem-bers, and I hear that at leastone mem-ber <Atldns) will be unable to make thetrip. The match between theTaranakiand Wanganui J3 teams was much moreinteresting, especially to Taranaki sup-porters. With Wanganaii ten points Inthe lead at half-time the chances ofTaranaki pulling the match out of tnefire- did not look toobright. However,the wearers of the amber and black puttlffiir foest foot in front, and rattled onfifteen points in the second spell, whileWanganui failed to add anything to.their score. Taranakd also had laardluck in their kicks at goal.. In oneinstance the ball struck the crossbar,and in another the upright, anabounced back into the field. J

The two school matches, North Tara-naki v- South Taranaki PrimarySchools, and New Plymouth Boys'High School v. Wanganui College, cre-ated a. lot of interest, and in each in-stance a fine exhibition of Rugby wangiven. The play of the small boys fromthe primary schools was an eye opener,and augurs well for the future of thegame in Taranaki. The boys combinedwell considering that they had not pre-viously played together, and at timesbrought off some pretty passing rushes.Fletcher, a young Tongan attendingHie New Plymouth Boys' High School,played a particularly fine game forNorth, and never once made a. mistake.Taunt was afso very good. He was oneof the big boys in the team, and waspossessed of i\ good turn of speed. TheSouth team generally Held the advan-tage in the forward division, but werenot quite so good as their opponentsin back piay. However, they put hisome really excellent work, andSmart's cross kick to Bailey, which ledto the latter scoring a try, was a flashof genius. In the writerrs opinion theSouth team could have been improvedupon by the inclusion of Stark (Nor-manby), Olarke (Okaiawa), and N.King and Lightfoot (Manaia).

The play of the New Plymouth HighSchool boys, while good, was not upto their usual standard. Visitors fror*New Plymouth expressed the opinionthat they had had too much footballthis season, and had gone stale. Theystarted playing a good deal earlier thisseason, and, in addition to their cupfixtures, had taken part in varioustournaments. Added to this, they wereplaying in a grade higher than previ-

-1 ously, which meant? that they were up! against heavier opponents. On thvs>jpievious Saturday tney had taken part! in a gruelling match with Clifton, a

team which is noted for its heavy

" weights. Ihe principal of the school! informed the writer that there was not

one boy in Saturday s team who hadnot been hurt during the season.Shaw, one of their best five-eighths,

I was unable to play on. Saturday, andi his absence was severely felt by the

team.A most bombastic telegram was sent

from Wanganui after the match againstTaranaki. It was to the efiec^that""The Wanganui representatives cover-ed themselves with glory by defeatingthe invincible Taranaki team." Whatutter rubbish. No team is invincible,

i and Taranaki has certainly done noth-ing for some years to deserve the appel-lation.

Although Tukapa has preserved anunbeaten record, ft is quiteon the cadsthat they will have tiieir coldnrs lower-ed during the second round. They werecertainly lucky to make .a draw of theirsecond match against Hawera. Theunexpected often happens on the Rugby: field, as instance the second match be-jtween Clifton and Opunak'e last season.A couple" of losses against the Northern

i team would make things interesting,and acid no little excitement to thefinal stajr^i of the competitions.

There were no club matches inITawera last week, the ground beingoccupied withrep. and college matches.It was very gratifying to know thatthe gate for the Wellington match wasthe best on record, and that at the col-lege match it was also satisfactory. Itwill serve to establish the claims ofHawera as equal with any other centrein Taranaki.It is more than remarkable thatTukapa, who have gone through theseason without a loss, and whose backshave played a very fine game in everymatch, have not a man in the rep.team. The backs have shown that theyknow how to pass and take a ball, andfor this reasour, if for no other, someof them would have been worth at leasta trial.School footballers in Sydney are hav-ing a real carnival, says the Referee.The preliminaries to the big Maorigames, are mostly provided by the greatpublic schools, the P.S.A.A.A., and thecadets from Jervis Bay. The import-ance of school Rugger is greater nowthan at any lime in the history of thegame. Football has been the dominantsport among the schools of all gradesduring the past week. Sydney has beenvisited by the Armidale School, theRoyal Australian Naval College andMudgee High School, and the Metro-politan primary schools' thirteenchosen by the P.S.A.A.A., is visiting

Queensland.It is understood that a committee isat work in Wellington codifying thelaws of the game. The step is onewhich has not been undertaken toosoon, and a crankier set of patchwork

rules it would be hard to find Alawyer would fairly revel in the job ofarguing a case on the laws of Rugbyfootball. A southern writer, in com-menting in this strain, hopes the com-mittee will not forget an index.Dr. Timms, the Victorian who playedfor Scotland in the nineties, and whowas alongside E. Gwyn Nicholls ascentre three-quarter with the 1899British team out here, is dead. He wasa splendid man, and a great footballerHe played the Australian game in Vic-toria before going to Edinburgh tfni-versity. There, when A. N. Fell, theiSew Zealander, was playing, they de-veloped a great fifteen, capable of"beat-ing Oxford and Cambridge UniversitiesCommenting on the New Zealandteam, an exchange says that theselectors have had a difficult task,ihey have had very few representativegames to help them in their judgment.Their decision to try out a compara-tively youthful team has much to com-n.end it; it is a sten in the directionof finding likely material to representNew Zealand in the big internationalfixtures of 1924. when the iirst worldRucrby contest is projected.

The record of having scored 830points in six mutches, without a singlepoint having been scored against thorn,i- what has been achiever] by the Wel-

lington College A team in the sixth rgrade. One of their matches was won coy 98 points to nilv aaid another by 80 ; tto nil. McKenzie, thecaptain, who plays |]wing-forward, is the most useful ma*! ]in the team. Dv Chateau, the half- ! 1back, is a nephew of TeddyRoberts, and j 1is showing plenty of promise, but he " ;iirather small for third grade football.Mr.. T. Biodie is hard at work licking Jthe team into shape for the inter- 1college tournament, to be held in VVel- jJingtou, ,

Talking to Mr, F. Mills, of Tokaora, <the other day the^ writer learnt some ;very interesting facts about the earlystruggles of the players on this coast. *My. Mills, who, by the way, plaucdagainst Stoddart's English * team "atHawera, cam© as a boy to the countryround PariJtaaka, and, being fresh fromsehooJ football, longed for a ball, a.ground, and a team. It was just afterthe A.C.'s and soldiers had left thecoast, and athletic sports were conse-"quently pretty dull,, for it may be addedthat an those early days much of thecricket and football was organised andplayed by the men in the camps. Hegot together a team—some of whomhad played, some had not, but all werekeen and eager—and sent a challengeto the Opunake-Pihama players, whichincluded the Goods and Lambies, andthe result was a fine win for the Pari-haka team. Later they travelled toplay a Maneonui team—Stratford and

! Ingknvood 'districts—and later still toNew Plymouth, and won both matches.The latter was a very close win, one-try—a point in those clays—to nil. Mr. !Mills tells of a great Maori namedWehi. who was a regular giant andwho in many a tight corner simplywent through against all opposition.These were {Tie days before good roa.dsand easy conveyances, and many aweary mile was clone on horseback,journeys that nowadays players woi\Jclconsider impossible. Truly times have. changed. i! " Ii The results of previous games be- ■tween Wellington and Taranaki pro- 'vinces will be of interest:—Year Won by Score

in senior lootbau in \\ uiiijig;ionMark Ixicholls has a great lecoid in."scoiingj chieiiy coming from hiswonderful aptitude for goal kicking, asample of wincii was suen at Jrlawera;last week. To date he has scored 43points—one try, six penalty goals, andeleven fiom tries.

t "There is a marked disinclination togive the wing three-quarterstheirshare jof the work, and untij. it is remedied!■ tho status of Kugby football .in ..theDominion will not attain its former 'greatness," writes the New Zealand !correspondent of the Sydney Keferee, jin coiHxnesuuig on the Maori-Wellington!match. The weakness of the Maori iside in that game was, he said, a great'tendency on the part of the inside,backs to put in short kicks instead of

,shooting the ball out quickly to the !wing-threequarters. This is a featureoften commented on 111 this column, iThere is no doubt such tactics may bejustified on occasions. They should, j

I nuwcv-ci-, be the exception, not the rule.The relative value of tries and penaltygoals is often discussed, and the bal-ance of opinion is generally that the :try is worth more. It certainly doesseem inequitable that a breach of therules a few yards off the goal, and the Iconsequently tasy kick should count as'much as the brilliant sweeping passing 'rush that ends in a score, and. the !passing in which may be the result of *careful coaching and practice. jJ. D. Villiers, the well-known South'African footballer, offers some adviceto clubs that complain of "too muchwhistle." "Our diagnosis of the com-plaint is complete," he says, "if weturn to the only other factor, theplayers. Each club-has a committeeofmanagement which selects its repre- jsentative teams, and one or more ;coaches who teach them how to winmatches, but has any club evertroubled to get someone to explain the 'laws of the game to players, or, if thisis unnecessary, to ensure that they areconversant with them? Saturday afterSaturday teams take the field with atleast one player that is ignorant ofelementary rules of the game. Remem- ,ber, players, you live in a glass house.Don't throw stones at the "other partyto the- contract, the referee. Be pen"-nlised only once, if that be necessary.Co and learn your lesson, and learn it 'well. It is in the interest of your-!self. It will keep our national cr Ume !on its pedestal, and will give its fol- ■lowers satisfaction to watch perform-'anoes, and—last, but not least—you "will assist the referee, who is heln'iuo- |you in our primary sport." &

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.

THE THIRD TEST.A BRILLIANT GAME

Writing of the third test the Auck-land Star states:The third test match between thetouring Australian eleven and NewZealand, which resulted in a win forNew Zealand by three goals to oneconstituted a brilliant display of theSoccer code, which was witnessed by9000 people. The gate takings wereover £.jOO, the attendance beino- theargest for Carlaw" Park and als^o thelargest to patronise a Soccer match inAuckland. From start to finish thespectators Mere volubly enthusiasticrounds of appiause being accorded bothteams for the various individual andcombined flashes of play which charac-terised the game practically throughoutthe two spells. The ground was heavybut not suifieient to spoil the play'

and conditions were otherwise ideal * 'The Australian team was the same'asthsit wh:ch contested the first and sec-ond tests in Dunedin and Wellingtonrespectively,, but there were severalal erat.ons m the New Zealand sidel\,n""!- ?W* 1 in the s«"d test.Darnell, oi Wellington, took tl)« outside

position in lieu of" Blundell, of Dun-edm. Dacre (Auckland) was substi-tuted as inside right in the forwardhne for Anton, of Wellington, andMi'Arthur, of Wellington, played asright half in place of Jirownlee, ofWellington, who had injured his leg ina club game.

From tlie whistle New Zealand set alivelypace, and the right wingers com-'bined with distinction. Within twominutes Barwell swung across a finecentre to Cook, who touched on toCampbell, whose kick twisted into thenet in the face of several Australianswho were struggling to defend. Spurred 'on by their success the New Zealanderskept busy, and it was not long I)efore ;Cook, of Southland, notched anotherpretty goal. The Australians thenstruck their familiar form and delight-ed the crowd with their clever footand head wprk. However, the Alllilacks were equal to all demands, and,despite occasional attacks by the blues, Iwere able to stave off the visitors.Shortly after the second half openedthe Australians came to light with some <very pretty play, and Brown, the vigor-,!ous centre forward, shot a well-deservedjgoal. The pace was now a killer, and 'the leather travelled to and fro in aimanner that excited spectators to a 'high pitch. At last the visitors com-menced to tire, and the All Blacks tookup the cudgels, Dacre shooting a splen-did goal, giving New Zealand a leadby three goals to one. This they held Ito the end, though both teams hadchances.! Taken all round the third test match,

which quite surpassed the other twotests for therubber, was an eye-opener,and no doubt will do much towardsconverting many who were-seeing So'.cerfor the first time to the merits of thecode. The Australians were no doubtup against the finest team they havemet during their Dominion tour. Therewas not a weak spot in the New Zea-land side. Dacre was always prominent,

I particularly in the second'half, and his: understanding and play in conjunction

'with Barwell was very pretty to watch.All the halves played sterling games,Corbett being the shining light. Braith-waite was a little better of' the backs,and McAmilty was always safe. Crax-ton was not imposed upon, but he wasa good goalie. Of "the AustraliansFisher was the star player, ably backedjby Gibb and Doyle, the latter* not giv-ing Ballard many chances. Brown andMaiinder were "the pick of the Aus-tralian forwards, who did not show up|as well as they did against Aucklandi the previous week.

A feature inN connection with thevisit of the Australians to Hamiltonwas the friendly sp:rit displayedby therepresentatives ofkindred sports. 'Rug-by, League, and Hockey Associationswere all represented in making the visit! of the overseas athletes as pleasant as

jpossible. Just as it should be. too!I The manager of the Australians (Mr.I Morgan) referred to the fact that thestability of the game rested on gettingjit introduced into the schools, and byI the various associations securing ade-I quate grounds on which to play? Mr.jStorey, who is the secretary of the New-South Wales /vsociation.' was able toprovide details in regard to the costing

over grounds in their capital, and while; the figure was substantial, the progressj the game was making enabled them toi "put a little bit away for a rainy day,''

so to speak. Mr. Storey, in remarkingthat this was but the beginning of big> tilings in the game between Australiai and Zealand, -said that the nextmatter of importance was the visit ofa British team to this part of the: world. This was an undertaking which- must go a Long way towards further. advancing the code.

GOLF.1

The new greens at the 13th and 17thJioies on the 10-al course are meetingwith much favour by all players, whoaie unanimous in the improvement oftne two holes.It was good to welcome a Manaia

team to Jriawera on Wednesday. Thelarger clubs can do a lot to he\p thesmaller centres, and are always glad todo all in their power.

New Plymoutn have arranged for to-day, wineu is likely to create great in-terest. It is between a team of ladiesand men, twenty aside, the ladies toreceive eleven strokes in the 18 holes,in addition to driving from their owntees. The only holes they do not re-ceive strokes are the short ones.

A, good deal has been said in thiscohimn about strict adherence torules and etiquette, and it is consid-ered to good purpose, for they are bothworthy of serious consideration.

A. matter that might be stressed isthe need for everyone playing in low-heeled shoes or boots. Two players outon the links on Wednesday were con- jtiderably annoyed to ttnd in many jpla-es holes made by high heels of a'boot or shoe. On a dry day it would,perhaps, not be noticeable," but on aday such as Wednesday the holes wereover an inch deen, and what made theannoyance of one of the players wasthat his ball at the midget lodged insuch a hole and he had to cut it out.All players, women and men, should becareful to wear low heels. i

A player drove his ball into a moundof soft earth at hole 17, and was atfirst uncertain what course to take. A.niblick might possibly have got it out,but with danger to 'the shaft, and inany case he had none. He might, ofcourse have taken it out under a pen-alty of two strokes. This rule, it maybe added, applies to all such cases.

:!THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP.

TTagen's recent victory, says "Fore"in the Australasian, was we]\ deservedas after tieing for first place in the

qualifying round he maintained historm m tne championship proper play--o °Ji?r four rou"d^ witH cards'or ,Uc'^9'/2"300- He is considered oneot the best players in America, and isthe Western open champion of thatcountry In llis advice of "How tolearn golf quickly," he advocates com-mencing with the putter, then themachie. followed by the brassie. andfinally the driver. Hagen is a tre-mendously long driver, accurate withhis irons, and is a fine putter Thechamnion-ohip has been decided over theRoyal St. George's links at Sandwichoil four occasions previously, andHagen's score has only once beenbeaten, viz., by Jack White's marvel-lous total of 296 in 1904.

GREAT LADY GOLFERS.It is unlikely that the sport of thepresent season will produce any mere

astonishing result than the heavy de-feat of Miss Cecil Leitch in the'finalof the ladies' open golf championshipat Prince's, Sandwich. Both she andher conqueror, Miss Joyce Wethered,are great golfers. Their game, in spiteof trying conditions of wind andweather, has shown a power and finishthat only very good men plaj-ers couldhope to excel. Miss Leitch, to saynothing of her other triumphs, hasbeen British open champion for the lasttwo years, as well as in 1914. MissWithered, had once beaten lier, in1920, when, as a girl of eighteen, sheinflicted on her in the English ladies'championship the only defeat which .shehad suffered, playing level, at 'thehands of one of her own sex, for sevenor eight years. In 1921, however, atTurnberry, in the final of the openladies' championship, Miss Leitch turn-ed the tables, and won comfortablyenough by four and three to play.Now, a year later, she has been beatenby nine and seven, after a most aston-ishing second round, in which MissWethered won nine holes out of theeleven played, ending with an unbrokensequence of five wins. Before theevent, in view of the ex-champion'sfine form during the present meeting,as well as the .whole of her previousrecord, which had stamped her as thegreatest lady golfer the world had seen,such a finish to the match between thetwo would have been reckoned as incon-ceivable. Yet the almost impossiblehas happened, and Miss Wetherecfsfine victory comes as a set-off to thecruel bit of bad luck which robbed herbrother of an even greater triumph* inthe open championship at St. Andrew'slast year; the brother and sister be-tween them have taken part in two ofthe most dramatic finishes in the his-tory of the game. On the other hand,the golfing world will sympathisewarmly with Miss Leitch on her de-feat, eventhough she wouldbe the firstto own that it was'brought about bya player who, from all accounts, showsin all her strokes the confidence andgenius of a.first-class professional. Theimprovement in the standard ofwomen's play in this country since thefirst championship meeting nearlythirty years ago- is a remarkablefea-tur*^ in the progress of the game,and while British golf can produce twosuch champions as the«e finalists theattacks of the foreign invader, alwaysallowing for accidents, may be facedwithout any great cause for alarm.

HAGEN'S RECORD.

Walter Hagen has been called theworld's greatest golfer, and his recordseems to bear out this assertion. Hehas won every open title in Americaworth winning. He has annexed thenational open twice, equalling thereord of John J. McDermott and Alex.Snrth, who are the only two livinggolfers to accomplish the'feat. Hagen.has played in championships only eightyears, including two years of no tourna-ments, during the war, yet his recordis l.ttleshort of marvellous for so shorta. time. He began in 1913, and fin-ished fourth in the Open that year—the year that Ouimet beat Varden andRay. Hagen" won the National Openthe following year at Chicago, andwon this event again in 1919 at BraeBurn. He won the Western Open lastsummer, and once before in 1916. Hewon the Metropolitan Championshipthree consecutive times—in 1916, 1919.and 1920. He won the Eastern OpenChamnionship in 1916, the Pan-Ameri-can Open Champ'onship in 1915, theFrench Open in 1920, the North andSouth Championship in 1918, the WestCoast, ofFlorida title in 1920 and 1922,the New York State title in 1920. theMichigan State title in,1921. and fin-ished up by annexing tlie ProfessionalGolfers' Championship last autumn atTnv-ood, defeating Jim Barnes in thefinal.

BRITISH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP.The most remarkable feature in this

event is the magnificent showing ofthe old brigade, as represented by J.H. Taylor and Harry Vardon, both wellover 50. Their methods must be won-derful to stand the test of years asthey have. Vardon has been six timesand Taylor five times open champion,and seemingly there is nothing to pre-vent them from adding another win tothe list. Taylor was out in 33 in oneround, and headed the first round with73. Duncan's last round of 69 musthave been a remarkable exhibition:out, 44443334 5—34; in, 4 4 4 344 3 4 5—35. Nothing but the strong-est wind made it impossible to get a4 at the last for a tie. \

HOCKEY.

I The match between Taranaki andI Wanganui for the Norden Cup, played

on King Edward Park grounds cmI Wednesday, was not productive of

very brilliant hockey; in fact, it was.by no means up to representative!

J standard. Slogging the ball witohut1i any definite plan is not hockey,, and jone-man efforts are not hockey. Thegame consisted mainly of hardhitting, jbut combination was poor on bothj! sides. TaranakiV goalkeeper and thetwo full-backs played a fairly safe!game, but the halves were poor andjIoften out of position. The 'forwards \may best be described as five very fairindividual players, but lacking in com-!lunation. That the game ended in a'draw was lucky for Taranaki, and Wa-Inganui narrowly missed canturing theAorden Cup.

If the local players are going to de-fend the trophy successfully they will'have to become far more ' united in!their play and reach a better under-standing regarding their r»lan of ac-tion. Against a really strong repre-

MACAULAY OF YORKSHIRE.G Macaulay, the young Yorkshirebowler, who has contributed largely toYorkshire's success this season, wasborn at Thirsk on December 7., 1896,and madehis first appearance for York-shire in 1920. In that season Macaulay

took only 20 wickets, at an average of24.56, and scored 38 runs in 11 innings.Last season he took 101 wickets costing17.33 runs apiece, and had a battingaverage of 22.59. Sporting Life statesthat Macaulay, who is also a fine field,bowls medium to fast-medium right-hand, varies his pace effectively, andis not unacquainted with "the googly."In the first two matches of the season(against Northants and Glamorgan) liesecured 18 wickets for 5S runs—a CharHe Turner kind of feat.

TENNIS.

OUR TENNIS EXPERTS"On Saturday afternoon,'J writes a

Home correspondent, "I went out toRoehampton to see the end of the firstimportant outdoor lawn tennis meetingof 1922, the forerunner of an uncount-able number of imminent tournaments.The men's singles final, between Ritchieand Norton, the young South Africanwho lost at Wimbledon to Tilden lastyear, was not nearly so tame as theresult on paper might indicate. Ritchie,who has been in the first flight at ten-nis for thirty years (and for ten ofthem before Norton was born), got onegame only in each set. It was a longseries of duels for position, and mostpoints were scored, not by the pace ofthe ball, but rather by placing it. at amoderate pace, out of reach. Nortonvery seldom went up to the net, afterjockeying Ritchie out of court beyondthe" side lines; lrat Norton never wentup to the net in this way withoutscoring the next point easily. In thissingle there was no lobbing, and I don'tthink Ritchie volleyed more than threeshots in three sets. But when themen's doubles final came on (M;su. theRoumanian, and Baines, against Nortonand Wallis Myers, a very tall, grizzledveteran), we had some highly scientificlobbinp- into the corners, some verySTvVted driving by Misu, and bouts ofvolleying, with all four players up tothe net, that was very pretty and excit-ing to watch.

TRADE WITH THE DOMINIONS.BIG MARKETS WAITING

Irade as our economic salvation aLtopic on whicii he can authoritativelyexpound the Lancashire view, was dis-cussed by Kip Edwin R. Stockton 10,an address at Accrington, one of 'the*-chief centres of the textile machinerymanufacture recently (states the Lon-don Times' Manchester correspondent).. However intensely .we may develop-our home production for home needs,-he*said, we cannot get away from the fact-that this country is first and foremost-an export nation. Hence the freedom*,of overseas markets is a first plank irs.pur trade policy. "Countries linked byintimate trade relations are fastened bybonds of forged steel; there is onljrone thing stronger—lmperialsentiment.Ihe markets of the world are;not allclosed to us. We must not despair be-cause of the tangled skein of the for-eign exchanges. We need to concen-trate on those markets where the dif-ficulties in this direction are not so-acute.

"We have not thoroughly realised the-vast potentiality of our'colonies'anddependencies. We must not' neglectthese important outlets. They offer £*great scope for trade extension if we*will only seize the opportunity, buO-there is still too much of the 'wait andMsee' rjolicy.

"Take our Consular service/ The-"idea is excellent, but it has been starv-ed. The Foreign Office has never rea-l-zed how vital this service is to the?development of our markets. We need?,the latest and most reliable informa-tion from the markets abroad, and this-should be constantly supnlied by oui-eountry's representatives." It is not-economy to starve our Consular ser-vice. We need the right type of men,and they must be paid well, otherwise-the right kind of men will not be at-tracted to the work.

They ought to be the pioneers of"our' export trade, these commercialsecretaries, trade commissioners, andSothers who represent our nation abroad^Their work is of incalculable import-ance if its done nronerly. and if they-are amply supported "by the weight and*influence of his Majesty's Government-Pioneers, their mission jb to open up*and explore the avenues along* whichwe can dispose of ths products of our-looms. our workshops, our factories,-an<Tour forges. v

"After all, we sue *m a much better-position than some producing countries.Our industrial machinery is undamag-ed; our troubles are economic rather-than organic. "We need to get bn"k to*abas\s of reasonable taxation. We are^thankful for the small mercies con-ceded in JEjir Robert Home's Budget,but would prefer to regard them in the"light of an earnest of more to fol/ow.Another factor which will materiallyhelp is the sweeping away of some ofthe present irritating restriction upontrade.

CANTERBURY PRODUCE MARKET.CHRISTCHUECH, July 14

Most of the interest in the grain andproduce market centres around the po-tato position, the outlook being givenadditional interest by the official in-terim figures, just published. The mar-ket is firm, and business has been re-ported at £4 10s. and in one case at£4 los. at country stations. Farmersare not offering freely, apparently be-

lieving that the market is likely to fur-ther strengthen. Quotations to farmersare from £4 10s to £4 los. Inquiriesfrom Auckland, for both prompt andforward business, are brisker, £5 atcountry stations being paid for Augustdelivery.

There is nothing new to report re-garding the wheat position. Under-grade is a drug, and the increase inwheat returns is likely to accentuatethe evil, though the proportion of re-jected is very small compared to whatit was early in the season. It is under-stood the Government is continuing totake any suitable line of Tuscan forexport, which will probably take theminto the second million of bushels.

Both perennial and Italian ryegrassare very firm, the export of a good-sized parcel of Italian to America cans-ing a flutter. Cocksfoot is firm, thoughlittle is doing. Cowgrass is again quietafter the recent spurt.

Both oats and chaff are lifeless, prac-tically nothing doing.

By January1 the number had risen to 170,000*itwas 420,000 on February 1, 1,060,000on March 1. and 2,100,(XK) on April 1last. Thee are the figures of the Gov-ernment Financial Department, whichcalculates this index number weekly.The great depreciation of the paperrouble is due to the enormous issues ofpaper money in the last six months.The old paper rouble has lately beenreplaced by a new rouble equivalent to10.000 of the old roubles, and even anew rouble will hardly purchase any-thing. The future of this new cur-rency depends, Mr Keynes says, on theprogress which can be made towardsbalancing the Budget without paper is-sues, and he accordingly examines theBudget prospects. The monthly ex-penditure is estimated at the equiva-lent of a hundred million pre-warroubles, or, allowing a 50 per cent, ap-preciation in gold, about fifteen millionpounds. Of this sum 28 per cent, isspent on tire army, from lo to 20 percent, goes to cover the railways de-ficit, 10 per cent, is expended on edu-cation. 8 per cent, on health. 10 percent, on agriculture, and from )5 to20 net1 cent, on other State Depart-ments. The main source of revenuecomes from the tithe on agriculturalproduce, and as the receipts from thissource cover 40 per cent. of therevenue it would appear that the an-nual agricultural production of ilussiaie worth 700 millions sterling. A fur-ther 15 per cent.vof the expenditure issaid to be covered by various indirecttaxes, verysimilarto thoseof pre-Soviettimes, on such articles as kerosene,matches tobacco, salt, sugar and tea.Another 15 per cent, of the expenditureis met by .receipts from the trusts"■lrc-h. are replacing the nationalisedState industries. These trusts aremanaged by boards consisting of work-men technicians, and ex-capitalists, ap-pointed by the Supreme Council ofNational Economy. They appear to paymoney wages, sell their products on themarket, and pay over to the Govern-ment a proportion of their receipts.The taxationprovides altogether 70 percent, of the expenditure, and most ofthe balance is furnished by new issuesof paper money. According to MrKeynes' informants, the Budget will bebalanced completely at an early date,and the naner rouble stabilised at someval"e. This is possible, but it anpearsto be far from probable. Mr Keynesis evidently inclined to think that, badand chaotic as it is, the Rnssinn Gov-ernment's finance ;s not entirely hope-less, but as he says he does, not knowbow much reliance to place upoii thefigures of the Bolshevik officials, theground for his optimism does not seemto be very strong

I OUR CLAIM

j^BOUT "LEYLAND" Lorry Saleshas been questioned in some quar-

ters. Naturally we are pained thatthis should be so, but as a matter offact the total of all "LEYLAND"sales to date exceeds the total previ-ously claimed. The total at present is:

2-Tonners 383-Tonners 314-Tonners 825-Tonners ~. 12

163

There you are; if there is any fur-ther doubt about it anyone can inspect* the detailed list. In addition there are14 "LEYLANDS" still in daily ser-vice that were put on the road in 1912and 1913, and, like Johnny Walker,have been going strong ever since.

We maintain that, excluding lorriesof 30ewt. capacity and under, the New

i Zealand "LEYLAND" sales far ex-ceed the sales of all other makes com-bined in the world. Figures talk, andthese should be convincing enough foranybody.

: QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ECO-j NOMY, DURABILITYare built in every "LEYLAND" andj THE BEST IS ALWAYS THE

CHEAPEST.

THE ADDRESS-IN-REPLY DEBATE.

Delivered every, evening by 6 o'clock in Hawera.Manaia, Normanby, Okaiawa, Eitham,Margatoki, Eaponga, Awatuna. Opunake,Otakeho, Maoutahi, Alton, HurleyvilSa,Patea, 'Waverley, Alokoia, Whakamara,Ohangai, Meremere, Fraser Road, andArarata.

LTp to the present me Address-in-Replydebate has not brought forward anyvery valuablecriticism from the partiesin opposition to the Government's|policy, and Mr. Massey's speech on jThursday night seems to have been1a.n effective reply to his critics.' ThatMr. Massey has changed his mind 011the question ofproportional representa-tion is nothing, to be ashamed of,especiallynow that there is much moreevidence available upon the working of jthe system, and it is well known thatproportional representation has provedby no means satisfactory in New South|Wales and Tasmania. So unsatisfac-jtory has it been tKat the New South'Wales Labour Conference has passed a!resolution against it. It is a wise manwho changes his mind when he hasbecome convinced that his earlier viewswere not sound, and it brings to mindIthe truth of the old saying that "he'who neverchanges his mind seldom hasIa mind to change-." The first-past-tho-'post system of election operates as!fairly for one pn,rty as for another,and the unsuccessful party at electionsshould, we think, blame the short-comings and deficiencies of its platformand not the system of election. In ademocraticcountry the successful partyis that which gives the people as awhole the legislation which satisfiesthem, and yet seeks to avoid spoon-feeding any one section. To do thatis extremely difficult at the presenttime, when the country's finances haveto be carefully Husbanded, and whenthere is everywhere a demand forpoonomy and relief from the heavyWfipng of taxation. If it werepossible to avoid the mef»-nres thatbar* to be t^n to k^pp the counW; r> n safe condition and to maintain itsorerTrt—a. most important thins—we- ,rr.av be sure tint th* Government1would noi bay« f^-.-^ {■*,<■. r+^cj ;+ !„,'taken But, apart altogether from the

views ot those who want proportionallepresentatioii and socialisation ofindustries, what alternative is there tothe actions the Government is taking rThe speeches of the members of theLiberal and Labour parties, as far aswe can see, have not given thecountrya constructive programme, unlesswe may term a radical change,such as a State bank, constructive.Among the long speechesof theLiberalsperhaps thebest was thatof Mr. Xi. M.Isitt, though he did not make manyconstructive proposals. "We are inagreement with him when, in advocat-ing a tax on unmarried persons, hesaid that r<he would not accept as ananswer the argument that such a taxwould be very difficult to collect. It-had once been argued that it wasimpossible to collect income tax fromthe farmer. The proceeds of the taxon a single person might form thenucleus of a fund through whichchildren might be endowed and thedifficulties of the married manlightened." We cannot understandwhy the Government has not instituteda tax of this kind, which- seems to usto be fair and reasonable in every way.The Address-in-Reply debate has fory*ar» pant been regarded as a waste oftime, and those members who, sessionafter session, get up and spend thecountry's money while they enlargeupon the deeds of great men of twentyor thirty years ago, but who fail tooffer sound constructive- criticism ofthe Government's policy, can hardlyclaim to be qualified to preach economy.We am not living in those days, andwhat is necessary is to know how toact now, when conditions are sodifficult. Thousands of pounds arewasted in useless, dreary speeches,delivered without any thought of help-ing the country through its difficulties,but purely for party purposes.

necessary," said Mr. L. M. Isitt(Christchurch North), discussing the: reduction of public servants' salaries.

I "We all regard the Prime Mini-

' ster as an astute and capable partyleader. We all know that the effect of

! such an Act as the Public Expenditure■' Adjustment Act on any party intro- \

ducing it must be the loss of votes, jCan -we- believe that any party would

' introduce legislation of that kind fori mere fun? Could anything but recog-

nition that it was a dire necessity leadto the introduction of such a law?While Mr. Isitt thought the cut neces-sary, he did not admit that its inci-dence was just.

"Many of my friends who do notunderstand farming think it is only amatter of going on to the land and see-ing the woolgrown and the wheatcomeup and the cows come in," said Mr., Glenn (ITangitikei) in the House re-> cently. "They think that, though thecows do not actually milk themselvesthere is machinery, and it will be allright; special knowledge is not wanted.They do not seem to realise that cmvsdie and sheen get foot-rot, and thatother climcu'ties crop up. They thinkit is an easy way of making money, Iam afraid that a great many of ourreturned soldiers realise to-day it isnot a very easy way after all.

A brief review of conditions in Fijij was given by Sir Charles Dawson,1 Chief Justice of the Islands for thei past seven years, who arrived by thei M.ikura (reports the New Zealand: Herald). Fiji was passing through a1 somewhat depressed period, Sir Charles. said, but he thougth it would win■ through all right. It was a country"of great possibilities. The great dif.fi-

" culty was labour for working thesugar estates and other industries., The indenture system had ceased, butthere was no reason why the sugar

' estates should not be worked with freelabour. There was a very strong agita-. tion in certain parts of the colony fcr

i European settlement, making it awhite man's country. A certain num-

t her of Indians who went to Fiji under[ indentures were entitled to repatria-l tion. and a lartre number had availedJ_ themselves of that, but a great pro-y portion <-f those who had done so and

got to India had been most anxiousto return, finding they were better off

1 in Fiji than in India, and many had

' gone back. Latterly a §*>od many- vho were entitled to passages to In-

" dia had cancelled them, although there> was still a considerable exodus. Sir> Charles said he wns not a planter and\ did not sneak with authority, but

" practically all the labour was* either" Fijian or Indian. One of the problems■of the future wafc whether it was a■ white man's country, in the sense that■ white men would be able to do what■ black labour had done in the past.. Regarding the probable orisin of the, disturbances at Taupo, "J.A. writesto the Auckland Star as under: "Al-

though volcanoes, prior to activity,sometimes give premonitory warning byearthquakes, such disturbances are notnecessarily dependent on volcanic ac-tivity. In this case their proximity tothe volcanic zone and their regularity;of action, ;»s stated by your reporter,'might denote some connection there--1 with. The cause, however, as evincedby a line of fissure, is most likely due'to faulting of the underlying sediment-ary rocks; i.e., the marls, limestones,and sandstones of tertiary age on whichvn. this locality is piled volcanic debris.To the west, where these sedimentaryrocks are exposed, there are indica-tions of subsidences and successivefaulting. Whole blocks of countryhave been elevated by block faults, andin other places areas have subsidedAcram, there .are lineal displacements',which by means of escapements, canbe traced for miles. These fault's areof all cures, as evinced "in t^e nro-essesof erosion, and have continued' sincethe land began to be elevated in thelater tertinrv period. The volpaiv'" zonomay be said to extend alone a live ofgreat fault between the junction of thesedimentary rocks and the oUlpv rocksof the Kaimanawa Ranee. Thus thetremors are most likely due to earthmovements, which in the past, on agrander scale, gave rise to the vol-canoes.''

Apparently the German sailor has nolove for his British brother, accordingto an incident that hanpened on anAmericansteamer lying at the Dunedmwharf rather less than a week a^o(states the Otago Daily Times;. TheBritisher in question is a Royal NavalReserve man, and has been here forabout seven months, during whichperiod he passed through a rather try-ing time owing to his failing to getany employment. He,"7iis wifefaiid twochildren were assisted 'by variouskindly-disposed people, who interestedthemselves in the case, and the manfinally signed on as a member of thecrew of an American vessel. About aweek ago he went on board, and wasgreeted by one of the crew, who, likea number of the men, was German bybirth, or extraction,with a very hostiledemonstration, and was informed thatthey did not want any Britisherson board, an invitation being given tothose near at hand to assist in puttingthe newcomer off the ship. The re-spome was not slow, and was startedby a negro member of the crew strik-ing the man over the head with aweapon of some sort. Then the en-counter became general, the other Ger-man sailors rushing into the fray, andthe- man was forced out of the ship.When he presented himself a few nr'n-ntes later before someone who had lie-friended him he presented a sorry spec-tacle, being badly injured about the!head and bearing unmistakable evidence 'of rough handling.

MARKET MOVEMENTS ATHOME.

, THE INFORMATION SENT TO NEWZEALAND.i j

■( A COMPLAINT AND A REPLY. j■ i IA reply was made in the House on

Wednesday by Mr. W. S. Glenn (Kangi-

" tikei) to a complaint by Mr. R. Masters(Stratford) that farmers did not receive; adequate information of the movements'■ of the Home market.| "I should like to mention,'' said Mr." Glenn, "the names of the important

companies which' handle the greater partlof our dairy produce. First, there isthe National Dairy Association, which,is represented in London by a very

able commercial man in Mr. Ellison,[ and the dairy produce handled by that, association is 86 per cent, of thewhole.of the dairy output of the Dominion.; The association, receives weekly cablescontaining all information in referenceto the market at Home from Mr. Elli-son, and that information is in turntelegraphed to each factory or companywhich is a member of the association.Another company which handles a largequantity of the dairy produce is theNew Zealand Dairy Co-operative Com-pany which is represented in Londonby Mr. Wright, who also advises thecompanyregularly in respect to the con-ditions of the market. Then the NewZealand Produce Association, which re--presents a considerable section of theNew Zealand dairy factories, both inthe North and South Islands, is in co-operation with the Co-operative Whole-sale Society of England, there beingtwo New Zealanders on the board ofdirectors. These gentlemen have anintimate knowledge of. the position ofonr produce in London as cfirectors ofthat Society, and one-third of the SouthWand dairy factories are members ofthat association.

"Apart from this information whichw gathered by experts and men whoare directors of dairy companies, theHigh Commissioner sends out week-endcables. It is a moot point how far theHigh Commissioner can advise dairycompanies to sell or to hold or to con-sign. It is a grave responsibility. Ihave heard the Prime Minister say atpublic gatherings whether the possi-bilities were better for butter or forcheese, and in many cases the informat\on has been of immense value to fac-tories especially those with dual plants1 would like to repeat that it is a praveposit on for any Government to take upto advise the dairy farmers to sell, or to, hold, or to consign. It is a matterthat must, be decided by the factories 'themselves."I understand the Government isabout to appoint an expert officer witha good knowledge of London and New!Zealand business, as an inspector ofNew Zealand produce in England Iunderstand the principal' dut'v of thisofficer will be to report on the com!'"-'tiori of our produce when it arrivesat Home

VL th!nL; ■*£** if the member fn-btratlord thinks over what I have saulabout the want_of information he willrealise that at least the dairy'producepeople of tins country are Wttinpr awry great deal of information" and get-ting it frequently." *" ,

HAWERA CO-OP. DAIRY CO.

ANNUAL REPORT

The report to be presented at theannual meeting on Saturday, July 29,states that the season has been one ofviolent fluctuations as regards pricesof butter and cheese, and it is con-sidered by the majority of the pro-ducers that these fluctuations havenot been due solely to the prevailingeconomic conditions and the law ofsupply and demand. The time wasconsidered opportune for providingbetter methods of marketing bur pro-duce, and a committee has been setup comprising representatives of thedairy industry in both the North andSouth Islands, and this committee metin Wellington on July 13 toendeavourto formulate a marketing scheme suit-able and acceptable to the industry asa whole in New Zealand. Your chair-man is a member of the committee,and it is hoped that he will be able toreport to the annual meeting the out-come of the committee's deliberations.Last season's estimate of nay-out was2s 0 l-16d per lb butter-fat, and it ispleasing to record that this estimatewas exceeded by 1 l-16d per lb, thefinal payment for the 1920-21 seasonbeing 2s l|d per lb butter-fat. Thisseason cheese unsold has been estimat-ed as follows: 2000 crates afloat at 6^dper lb f.0.b., and 3955 crates awaitingshipment at 6d ncr lb f.o.b. Includedin these totals are 1600 crates of partskim cheese. This estimate is con-sidered safe, and on the basis of it apayment for the season of Is 3£dper lbbutter-fat could be made after allow-ing for interest on shares absorbing£851 16s. The new butter room at theGlover Road Factory, recommended byjthe. directors and sanctioned by the■suppliers, is already in the course ofJconstruction, and it completion will! equio the factory with a* full dualplant.

BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUBS.

ROOT CROP ENTRIES AT THESHOW

In connection with the criticism byour Okaiawa correspondent of thearrangements made by the managementof the Winter Show for the display ofboys' and girls' root crops, Mr. Geo.H. Buckeridge has asked us to statethat the criticismis quite unfair to theWinter Show management. Mr. Buck-eridge explains that the position wasthis: When the time for the entriesfor these roots closed there were veryfew entrants. Mr. L. 0. Hooker wentto Mr. Buckeridge and asked him if hecould help ln securing further entries,and the time for entries was immedi-ately extended. Mr. Buckeridge thengot into communication with theteachers ami' supervisors of the boys'and girls' clubs, and, after considerabletrouble, (satisfactory entries weresecured. Mr. Buckeridge says that Mr.Hooker did everything possible to assistin securing, a goodexhibit, and deservesgreat credit for his efforts. As far asthe arrangements for space were con-cerned, it was absolutely impossible tohave all the tables ready because therewas no means of gauging the quantitiesof roots that wouFd reach the show.Mr. Buckeridge desires' to thank Mr.Hooker very heartily for the great,assistance he gave iri securing such afine exhibit, for had it not been for hisoffer to extend the time for entries thedisplay would have been very smallindeed. We might add that we cannotfind any good excuse for the delay onthe part of the supervisors and thoseteachers in charge of the children whoare invited to send in entries. Similardelay occurred last year, and it is notvery encouraging to the Winter Showsecretary to try and help the move-ment if, when he makes provision forexhibits the entries do not come for-ward until the last minute, thus givinghim no chance to complete his arrange-ments. Whatevershortage ofprovisiontherewas when the entries arrived wasentirely the fault of the lateness of theacceptance of the offer to the exhibitorsto enter, and it is to be hoped that infuture those responsible for sending inentries will see to it that they aresent in at the proper time, so as togive Mr. Hooker a reasonablechance ofmaking adequate arrangements forstaging the exhibits. It should beborne in mind that the arranging ofsuch a large show is no easy task, andit is unfair to rush exhibits in at thelast moment, without any indicationbeing given of the amount of space re-quired, and then to expect to findeverything ready waiting. We knowMr. Hooker's methods well enough tostate that if given a reasonable chance|he will have his side of the work ready.On this occasion he went out of his wayto secure an adequate exhibits of roots,and, at no little inconvenience to bothhimself and Mr. Buckeridge, a verysuccessful result was achieved, and afine advertisement was given to theboys' and girls' clubs. The show man-agement is keen to helo the movement,and it was because of that thnt so muchtrouble >as taken. Let ns. hope thatin future the entries will be sent inearly and that each year will find alarge exhibit of roosts at tne sLow.

FAITH HEALING.

VIEWS OF A FORMER VICAR OF*HAWEHA.

The Echo reports a remarkable meet-ing in Cheltenham (Eng.j, when thesubject dealtwith was "Faith Healing 'in a lecture by the Hey. Harold Ansoa-.one time vicar of St. Marys, Hawera,

ihe parish room in St. James^Square, London, was crowded to hearan address on "Faith Healing" by the-Rev. Harold Anson. Mr. Anson is th<*leader of the organisation known a»the Guild of Health, which seems tobegrowing among., the churches. It haafor its objects: (1) The study of theinfluence of spiritual upon physical^well-being; (2) the exercise of healingby spiritual means,, in complete loyaityto scientific principles and methods; (3>united prayer for the inspiration of th<*Holy Spirit in all efforts to heal thesick; and (4) the cultivation, tbroagfespiritual means, of both individual andcorporate health.

The rector, win- presided. remarked!that one of the subjects whirik occupieda large part in present day outlookwas thatof spiritual healing, using theterm m the broadest sense. Some-peoplesaid the Church was.behind-handitvthis direction or thai direction, andwhatever truth there might be in suckcharges, he did not think it could bejustly affirmed that the Church was in-ditlerent to this new movement ' Th»organisation which Mr. Anson repre-sented was striving to bring the wholequestion of spiritual healingbefore thepubhc and the Christian Chirreh longbefore Cove's teaching attracted atten-tion. Spiritual Eealing ran counterto the commonly accepted view ttafcresignation under suffering was a Chris-tion duty Resignation was only aform of religious despair, if the twotMnjrs could thus be combinedtogether

"fi , j?o*&elieve that diseasewas thewill of God.The Ivev. Harold Anson began hisaddress by asking whether theordinarycurrent teaching of religious people a&to diseaseand natural calamitywas notdirectly at variance with the teachm*-of Our Lord. It was the common teacto^

ing of popular Christianity that thecalamities which vexed mankind weresent by God, and therefore we had tobe resigned. According to the legaldefinition of a learned judge, an "aefcof God" was "any calamity for which,norational cause can be assigned" ; and.that seemed to express a very generalconception of God—a being for whoseacts no "rational" cause could be sug-gested. We never found Christ speak-ing of disease as a work of God. butalways as-a work of the devil. Them-were a great many peoplehe could notcure; only quite a small number werehealed by him, and the reason for-the*non-success was clearly stated. It was,the lack of faith of the persons them-selves. Where, on the other handrcases of disease were cured, it was thefaith of those who suffered that mad&them whole. The teaching of Mr. Con*was in essence identical with that ofthe Master. Not only was individualfaith involved, but corporate faith also-.I At Nazareth, despite the presence ofjbelievers, Christ could do little becauseof the corporate unbelief of the com-munity. Quite innocent people wereeinvolved in the sinfulness of mankind^; and suffered in the general corporate-want of faith. The speaker had sym-pathy with many of his friends in the; Labour Party who said that one of th&great causes of the slow progress cfmankind was due to the tendency ofi religious bodies and individuals toacquiesce in obstacles that might have-been removed had they taken a differ-■ ent view of the mind and purpose- o£God. The suggestion, for instance, that *, the high infant mortality in slum dis-tncts was a thing to which we should;resign ourselves was nothing less than.blasphemous. Nothing, it had been1 Si ' was so n«eessaiy for| Church as to try to revise their idea.(ot the Church. And undoubtedlyi was not He who cured them, but their" own faith. Faith quickly degenerated, into the repetition of a certain formula,and hence arose the idea of charms andinagie Belief in the healingvirtue ofoil taken from consecrated lamps, a^t; other superstitious practices, including:the touching of the bones of saints and imartyrs, arose in the earlier centuriesof the Church. And undoubtwedhrevery one of these methods did cure*great many illnesses. Before Chris-t^nrty itself cures "were similarlyeftectecTby those who had recourse ma-a thoroughly trustful spirit, to pagan.temples. Later there came a reactionagainst belief in spiritual power overthe body, which had lasted down toourtime, but a counter action was now be-

ginning. If faith allied with magic amirsuperstition was able to achieve the re-sults which it certainly had achieved inthe past, how much morepotent ife wa*for good when exerted in the atmo-sphere of a purely spiritual religion?A marked change was to be noted inthe attitude of medical science. Afew years ago it was rarely acknow-ledged, but to-day it was generally re-cognised that there was a spiritual andmental factor in disease, and therewasincreasing desire to treat mental andbodily health in unison. This changewas partly due to the study of psycho-logy, and partly to the increasedknow-ledge and experience of the doctors,themselves: He was not a believer inChristian Science, though he recognisedChristian Science had taught them,much. He did not believe that they ~were all at/ohce to abolishdisease; theylived in the very heart of a generation.of people who believed in the necessity,cf disease and that it was sent by God.But as time went on people would be*brought up with truer conceptions, andwould be living in the spirit of thewords, "Every day and in every waywe are getting better and better!"| When men's conception of God was thatHe was a Heavenly Father, and not a.sort of super-detective, there would be-changes in the hymn and prayerbooks.The speaker concluded with a"reference*to the work of the Guild of Health

"Our flag folds are emblematic of* varying and various aims, and the in-■ terests of the nation are unified in theiradhesion to the flagstaff, which typifies> an unyielding and indomitable spirit of

■; determination in our soldiers. Thethree colours chosen are emblematicof" three divine persons in the one God,

** to Whom our cause is consecrated, andunder whose protection it has been

Vplaced. ,"At the moment of the attack on

Four Counts, -when the war was sud-denly forced upon us, the first thoughtof our bray© defenders was to fall ontheir knees in solemn prayer, consecrat-ing themselves to their cause andcountry through the Blessed Virgin to"the Sacred Heart. Then then mannedthe parapets mid" shot and shell and

A fierce fight occurred between rebels-at Timahoe, following an ultimatum by"FreeState troops that the rebels should"evacuate the police barracks in fifteen"minntes.

The chairman explained that there1

was some dissatisfaction ■ over- the"drawing of the lady competitors.There were. 18 teams,

'and as two

were required for each team four ofthe teams could not have lady com-'petitors included in their personnel. 'Also many of the ladies wished toplease themselves as to which teamthey shot for. It had been the inten-tion of the committee to find eightmore ladies to fill the vacancies, butthat was considered unfair, as itwould probably mean that the fourteams would have allotted to them in-'experienced shots. !

After some discussion it was decidedto suggest to the shooting committeethat they organise separate teamsamong the ladies.

POSTMEN AND POLICEMEN.

ALLIANCE OF LABOUR.THE CASE FOR APPLICATION.

(Contributed by the Welfare League.)The last issue of the Katipo, theofficial organ of the Post and Telegraph

Officers' Association, presents theircasefor affiliation with, the Alliance ofLabour. It is made to rest upon thesegrounds :(1) That the Alliance is a lawful as-

sociation.(2) That the postal officers, beingcitizens, have a right to affiliatewith any lawful association.

(3) That the action of the Govern-ment in objecting to such affiliationis an act of intimidation, in con-travention to the constitution ofNew Zealand.

Let us examine the soundness, orotherwise, of these reasons. Jbirst,- onNo. I, what is meant by the word"lawful"? This is answered by Mr.H. E. Combs, their secretary, whenhe says: ' 'The Alliance of Labour is notan illegal organisation." On this wehave to point out that neither is theCommunist Party of New Zeaalnd anillegal organisation. Further, it isquestionablewhether a society inculcat-ing the doctrine of philosophic anarch-ism would be an illegal organisation.The mere fact that a body is not illegalis no guarantee that its objects are forthe safety or wellbeing of the State.It is clearly stated that the objectiveof the Alliance of Labour is: "The col-lective ownership of the means of pro-duction, distribution, -and control ofall industries by the workers who oper-ate them in-< the interests of the com-,munity.5 'The Katipo argues that the words".in the interests of the community"are the key to the whole objective, butthat .is simply nonsense. Plainly themeaning of that, objective is a- policydesigned to abot:sh all private owner-ship and control of industry, Whenthere is added, what is in the Allianceconstitution, a scheme to unite allwage-earners on a class basis in oneorganisation, citizens kre justified inregarding tins combination as a distinctmenace to their existing legal andmoral rights. That brings us to thetruth that all that is lawful, in thesense of not being illegal, is not neces-sarily desirable or ri^ht. Evidentlythe Katipo has doubts about this Redobjective, because it hurries past it withthese words, "it is only a side issue atthe present juncture.''Coming to reason No. 2, we find theP. and T. Officers stress their rights asCitizensn. Surely,, however, they mustunderstand that they are not seeking to

the Alliance merely as citizens.Their general rights as citizens is notthe issue. The true issue is as to theirfights as Dublic servants who have en-tered into contracts with the State. A.private person who pleaded his generalrights as a citizen against his duty asa contracting party before any Courtm the land would quickly be. told thathe was talking absurdly. What is theright which public servants possess in.the way of freedom of association is thereal issue. The P. and T. Officers' As-sociation says the full right to join anyassociation that it not illegal. Wedeny that they hayS any such right. Insupport of their plea they quote this'clause from the Peace Treaty, clause 2: ]"The right of association for all lawfulpurposes by the employed as well as by'the employers." That affirmation hasto h« read in reason. * It is nothingmore than a recognition of the general !risht of employees and employers Toassociate for lawful ends, but it 4ous ;ncft, Imply any absolute right of either it--> associate in any mariner which mayko in' contravention of any legal ormoral obligations they have undertaken,<sr in ways detrimental to the interestsof the State. To show the fallacy of .the argument that "public servantshay*. a- right to join any organisationtha*t it is not illegal," we have to give jthe- rule a general application. If the jp-rincinle is sound then the police hav»>the right to join the Alliance*of Labour,Communist party, or any; other "law-ful" organisation. The P. and T. Of-ficers cannot claim the right and deny'it to the workers in the Treasury, the iCustoms, the Police, the Defence, the j*«e£islative,and all other State Depart-'vnents. We challwigo the P. und T. IOfficers' Association to declare for the jright of all these various officers €oloin any outside organisation they,nlease provided it is not an illegalbody. Tt is no use beating the ah—-neither this country, or ar\v other thatvr«i know of has ever recognised thejright of public servants to join any out--'"aide'body, merely because such body jsnot an illegal one.

On their reason No. 3, we have onfyto say that,, whilst we believe the P.nnd T. Officers have some legitimate |grievances which Rhcni'l h& rectified, the !Government.,is fully justified in ' de-manding; of any section of public ser-vants that they shall refrain from, join- !ing any outside association which may Jprove detrimental to, the puhlic service.In becoming postal employees the P.md T. Officers entered into a contractto- serve the State without class bias.Affiliation with the class partisan Al-liance be a denial of that con-tract. Tt is not intimidation but a iusfedemand to ask that the spirit of theirrcontract shall be observed by all who'enter into the State's services.

THE RONA.CONCLUSION OF INQUIRY.

DECISION RESERVED.

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION )AUCKLAND, July 14.At the liona inquiry, Mr Seiwyn

Mays pointed out that public interest" was a vital point in matters -uch asthis and regret for the effect any fuid-,mg may have on the careers wf thepersons concerned could not be allowedto interfere with public interest.The essential facts were perfectlyclear. Under good conditions, cue cas-ualty had occurred in aridiculous man-ner m approaching a perfectly safeharbour tnat made navigation a iaice.Had the chief officer appreciated thathe was in charge there would have teenno casualty. What happened in thiscase was that the chier othcer tookover his watch and did not then ->ick upthe course, but the master came in alittle later, went intothe charthouse,picked off the course and told «.he of-ficer to alter the'course. That indi-cated,he was up to bring the ship intoport.Just after he said, "Steer i-r thelight. I'm goingdown to get my ovf r-coat," there was no lack of respousi-

bihty so far as the chief officer wasconcerned, for It must have seemed tohim inst before striking that somethinghad to be done and should have conet. There was no excuse fox him, butwhat probably happened was that hewas waiting for the master to comeback. I.tie eventually suddenly woke np tothe fact that the light was dangerouslynear and then it was too late. I

Counsel held that part of the le-sponsibility must rest with the mrster,in that the matter in which he left thebridge did not indicate to the eh-ef of-ficer clearly that he was in charge. Itwas in the captain's favour that heknew that a thoroughly qualified, com-petent and reliable man was on thebridge, but still the fact remained thata mistake was made_on both sides.

The Court adjourned for two hours toframe its finding. Later the Court an-nounced that it had been unable tocome to a decision, and would give itsfinding at 11.30 a.m. on Monday.

LABOUR AS EMPLOYER.*-— jGOVERNMENT PRINTER'S

CKiilGib^i. |

BRISBANE, July 5. IAccording to an announcement madeto-tiay by tne .Preimei, trie Govern-ment has decided to terminate the ser-vices of Mr A. J. Oumnijng, Uovem-nient Printer. . iMr CummSng presided last week at aluncheon to Axr Meyers, a member ofthe lithographic statf of the Govern-ment Printing Office, who had. been re-tired on reaching the age of 66. MrCumming is reported to have said thatLe regretted very much that there hadbeen so much done to disorganise theiroffice. They were slipping backward,and had done so for the last sevenyears. Their office in the first sevenyears of its existence was the admira-tion of the whole of Australia, but hewas beginning to think that they werelosing that claim. That was due to thestarvation principle that had beenadopted. He had lost a tremendousamount of work as a consequence. ThisGovernment—he meant the LabourGovernment—had not treated themwell. It was high time something was1done to testify matters. The Govern-ment did not know anything about thebusiness, and would never know any-thing. Mr Meyers was a unionist. Heasked trade unionists what their Trades'-" all was for if it was not to fight a caselike this. )

Later Mr Cumming, in presentinggifts to several other employees, said itwas the fourth presentation in whichhe had taken part, and he dubbed theday '"Black Friday." He could not un-derstand, he said, why physically titmen should be dispensed with whenthey would be an ecquisirtion in trainingyounger men. He was appointed torun the office on business lines, and re-gretted that he was being handicapped.

Mr Cumming was appointed to theGovernment Printing Office on July23, 190tf. He previously occupied theposition of mechanical superintendentin a Sydney newspaner. fBRISBANE, July 6. *In the e&iifs'S of a statement ito-daythe Government P>Jflier, Mr Cumming, ,who is being removed fVdln hin position jfollowing upon a speech which he deliv-'ered criticising the policy of the Gov- teminent in regard to the GovernmentTrintinpr Office, said that he had beengiven four weeks' salary in lieu ofnotice. j

Referring to the speech, of which areport Mas published, Mr Cummingsaid he had been informed that therewere no reporters present at the func-tion ; therefore, he understood that it (was a private gathering. The Premier jcalled him into his office and asked himif the tn>blished report Was correct. He'told Mr Theodore that it was, but that jit was not a full report. The Premier j

|accused him of doing this iii the Na* i,tionalist party's interests. This hestrongly denied. The Premier then told

|Mm that he would have to make a| humbleapology., andgave him until the| next morning to do so. He merely toldthe Premier that he had struck thewrong man, and that he would starvebefore he would apologise. He then

i left the room.Mr Cumming added that the whole| trouble came about through h's feeling

so keenly that his men were going out.One man, whom he considered to be the.best finisher in the bookbinding section,

! aiid who was in every way capable at, the time he was retired, took his re-tirement so much to heart that hecame to his (Mr Cumm'ng's) room verymuch upset. His condition of distresscontinued for some days, and he died ina train on his way home. He was oneof the first batch of men to be retired.Tn the second batch was the overseer inthe ruling department. He.suffered aparalytic stroke, and last Friday was! carried from a motor car to receive agold watch and an illuminated address..At the request of the Government allthese,men had presented themselves formedical inspection, and had been passed"Naturally," concluded Mr Cumming,"with cases Fke these in mv mind Iwent off. the handle last Friday. All,

ias fit. Despite the fact that they hadof fitness they were retired,

these things had their effect." i

POLITICAL NOTESARTEKIAL ROAD PROBLEM.

HOPEFUL MINISTER,

(By Telegraph—Special to Star.)WELLINGTON, July 14.Contrary to some reports, the Mini-ster tor irubiie Works indicated to-day

that the Government is pushing on itsplans far legislation dealing with themain roads problem. He was askedbyMr . J R. Hamilton if local bodieswould hare an opportunity ol consider-,ing any proposed measure.Members asked the questioner if hemeant that they should geta ctiance tokill it. i

Mr. Coates: "If I remember aright ■the hon. member was not prepared toface a Main Roads Bill last session "He explained that, followingthe recentconference on the subject it was intend-ed to draft a circular to local bodiesand motor associations, but it was now Ifelt that a draft of the actual proposals Iwould be better for their consideration, 'and the preliminary draft was ready IIhe discussion would now takeplace on ithe details. He felt that they had sot :a great deal nearer towards what theywere trying to do. and he was veryihopeful of being able to submit some- 'thing to the House with the object of ■providing a workable solution of themain roads problem. iSir John Luke: "Are you holtfino- '.on to the tyre tax?T) "" iMr. Coates renlied with emphasis: i"Most assuredly." }

UNEMPLOYED RELIEF. !"nThe Pr6mier mentioned to-day that/000 men are being employed on publicworks and 2000 on relief works, andit required a very large sum of moneyto pay them. He would like to seesome local bodies doing more.A member:. The law restricts thembecause they cannot spend money with-out taking a poll.

Mr. Massey: "Well, I think there issomething in that.5'

UNION FEES.Two aspects of compulsory subscrip-'fcion to unions were ventilated in theHouse this afternoon as a result of Mr.Nash renewing his questionto the Minilster of Labour, asking whether thelatter would investigate a statementmadein a recent court case that beforea man could commence work on thewharf hehad to pay £2 9s to the union. IThe Minister explained that the sum iwas made up of entrance fee ss, annual jsubscription: fee in advance, and sundry

levies. !He understood that the auth-orities were satisfied that the charges !were according to rule and perfectly }legal. ; J |

Pressed by members, Mr. Andersonmentioned that sundry levies included£1 as a genera] fighting fund. I

Mr. Nash; "Now we are getting toMr, Anderson added that he under-stood that the same rules held in otherunions, but concluded significantly that

he had an idea that honourable mem-bers would have an opportunity of ex-pressing an opinion on it later in thesession. . 'GUARANTEED, MORTGAGES. ./The Premier; promised Mr. Wilfordto-day torefer to the Crown Law Officepn important point in connection withthe moratorium, as he quite understoodthat the guarantors of mortgages in

some cases had found themselves indifficulties. Mr. Wilford had explainedthat the guarantors of mortgagesusually expected thjit if they pafd in-terest and arrears that their obligationwas complete until the term of the "mortgage expired, but there was a classof* mortgage given to farmers who hadbeen assisted by financial, institutions ;which provided that in the event of 'interest being unpaid for 21 days tjieprincipal fell due. Many who hadguaranteed ; mortgages were in ignor-ance of this clause, and they receivedno intimation of the interest beingoverdue until they were notified to re-pay arrears of interest and the whole ofthe principal. j

FREIGHT ON LINSEED. jThe Premier stated that the Associ- ,

ated Shipping Companies have reducedthe rate for freight on linseed exportedto England from 130s per ton weight,plus ten per cent primage, to 60s perton weight, plus 10 per cent, primage.

DAIRY FARMERS' SUPPLIES. jThe attention of the Minister of Cus-

toms was drawn by Mr. Dixon (Patea)to the excessive duty which is beingpaid on rubber tubing imported forfarmers for use in milking machines.The member explained that large quan-tities of this material were used, eco-nomical farmers buying it in longlengths to make their own inflators. jHe hoped the Minister of Customs,could relieve them of the burden of the jcustoms duty at a time-whenthey werestraggling under difficulties', ; 'The Hon. Downie Stewart replied*]?at,. ther& must tie some misttnder-!standing, as there was no duty on rub*ber tubing imported from Britain ofany other part- of the Empire, exceptAustralia, which, as" members knew, iwas temporarily on foreign tariff carry-ing a duty of 20 per cent. There might'be som<J.relief from this in the case ofAustralia when proposals for a recipro- Ical customs treaty comes before theHouse shortly.

MONEY MARKET PROSPECTS.

EASIER BATES PROBABLE.

The minimum discount rate of theBank of England was reduced a fewweeks ago to Si per cent., and it isanticipated that there will be a further ireduction—that is to say, that money iwill-become exceedingly cheap. What1effect the economic debacle in'Germany ;and Austria will have upon the situa- 'tion it :s difficult to say. but that it iwill cause an upheaval in Europe is be- 'yond " doubt. The effect must be to 'contribute further to the dullness .of!trade, and that will inevitably lead tothe accumulation of idle credits. It wasbecause trade had been bad that moneyhas been accumulating and the rates ofinterest have been reduced. The cheap- 'ness of money is also a feature of thefinancial centres of the United StatesThe New York Journalof Commerce re-cently to hand states that New Yorkctearmg-house banks have cut theratespaid on current deposits, actuated bythe belief that "easy money condi-'tions are more or less a permanency. IThe monetary conditions on the other Iside of the world must sooner or later)be: reflected in New Zealand and Aus-tralia; as a_ matter of fact it is tosome extent already reflected here inthe high prices that are being paid forgilt-edged securities, which at"presentprices yield a very small rate of in-terest. Another fall in the Bank ofEngland discount rat© is not unlikely 'm the course- of the next week or two.

try would not get back to pre-war con-ditions as quickly as many wished.Much of the trouble was caused by bigdepartmental expenditure. He de-fended the cut in the civil service;

bonuses, as one meansof reducing taxa—'tion. He hoped the Government wouEE-never adopt proportional- representa-tion, which lent itself to the forming";of unholy alliances. He thought- pre-ference to unionists should beretainedbut unionists should give efficientlabour in return.

ADDRESS-IN-REPLY.

ANOTHER STAGE REACHED: ,:.LABOUR AMENDMENT.

WEXLIN(M>K;, Jill? 14..Another stage in the de"bat£ on tWAddress-in-Reply was reached, in the*House today. The Liberal Par^feamendment was disposed of yesterday,,and; now the Leader of the Labour:Party (Mr. H. Holland) Eas given new-life to the debate with another amend-ment. - . ,

Mr. Holland referred to statement*regarding the loyalty of Labour, an<3lsaid this was a matter requiring defini-tion. When Labour had protestedagainst profiteering and other abuses.it was termed disloyal, yet often tnosat,who denounced Labour were guilty oilrobbery and other crimes against tb»people. He - contended that Labour,.by its intense desireto preserve all thafc.was best in the country's traditions*and to further the welfareof thepeopledas far as possible, proved itself th« *< most loyal party in the House.

He urged that the House should greeta mandate to the Arbitration Court to*restore the bonus taken away by th»cut in the case of the lower paid ranksof public servants. He challenged tboi \Prime Minister to state particulars el^the remission to land and income i***-payers. Mr.' Holland declared thatif\while the Government gave remissions?on these taxes it increased customs?'duties.

Referring to the difficulties 'offarmers, he contended these were not.

| due to the cost of rural labour, but tot1 the high prices of land and the coHse-quent he^vy interest charges on mort-gages. He quoted instances of farmers?who faced ruin through high interestcharges. The present system of traffia

I in land must be abolished before*I farmers' difficult- conditions could be*ameliorated. Since 1914 incomes hatlI increased by £35,000,000and to, therpayers of income tax remissions wera=made, while public servants were beingasked to- accept cuts in salary.

The value of primary and secondaryproduction in New Zealand doubled in*recent years. In 1920 the valiie addedto raw materialsby the labour of eachworker was .-£92, of which labourabsorbed £00 Ifis.

The Labour Party of New Zealandhad no intention of "keeping out peopl%.

from Britain, but it did object to themanner in which immigrants werebeingenticed to come here while unemploy-ment was so prevalent. There shouldbe permanent work at standard wageswith decent housing for all immigrants <on arrivalwithout displacing tlu- peoplealready here. Mr. Holland contendedthe Government had departed from itspromise to give the public service fullcivil and political rights by refusing toallow ip to become affiliated with theAlliance of Labour.

He moved the following amendmentto.the Address-in-Reply: "That in viewof the cost of living being now at thesame level as when the last wages jbonus was granted, legislation should ibe introduced restoring the bonuses topublic servants; that the state of thepublic finances was such, that no excuseexisted for reducing public servants' jsalaries; and thatif the public financeswere in such a state that increasedrevenue was necessary, then theGovernment was not justified in re-mitting land and income taxes;further, that the Government failedto fulfil its promise to confer full poli-tical and civil rights in the public ser-vice, and by its failure to provide ade-quate representation of New Zealandat the "Washington and Genoa confer-ences it has forfeited the confidence ofthe House and the country. j

Mr. Munro (Dunedin North) second-;cd. Heurged that labour shouldreceivethe fullest payment for work as areduction in wages reacted on trade allround. The conditions which broughtabout T3ie Government's decisionto cut jpublic service wages and caused redxic- (tions in other workers' pay, were due"to the Government's own shortcomings

,by.permitting profiteering, speculation-(especially in land) and other abuses.The Hon. C. J. Parr said the whole

of the Opposition speeches were largein assertions against the Government,but small in proof, as, for instance,1th© statement that since 1912 depart-mental expenditure had grown from£7,000,000,to £15,000,000. Examina-tion showed two of -his departmentswere responsible for £2,500,000of thisIncrease, but he asked the House tosay where he could economisein educa-tion. Salaries alone in that depart-ment amounted to £"2,264.404. Otheritemswere quoted with a view to show-xlng that further reductions in expendi-ture could not be made, yet in face ofthe large sums spent on education theywere not large enough to satisfy teach-ers, boards, or committees.

Mr. Parr defended the practice ofsaluting the flag now observed inschools, and denied that it resulted in

loyalty. The proposal toestablish junior h"ieh schools was, hesaid, not a concession to wealth, butwas intendedto promote an aristocracyof brains, and the workers child wouldhave the same opportunity as the richman's child.

Th© debate was adjourned and theHouse rose till 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday.

TELEPHONES FOR ALL.THE AMERICAN WAi

i The following comparison betweenEnglish and American telephone sys-tems; has been sent to tne JLonuon.Times by Mr. ■-^,}V\. L. George, theauthor, who harpist returned rroni avisit iv the United States, where liemade detailed inquiries into the sub-ject.

It-is notorious that the use of thetelephone is in America more wide-spread than it is in this country. Itis not so well known that the popu-larity of the telephone in the UnitedStates is due to its cheapness j nor,that this cheapness arises trom tixt*commercial methods of the telephonecompanies.

Taken by comparison, the facts arehighly enlightening. In Great Britaina population oi 47,237,530 persons tsserved by 995,242 telephones. In theUnited States a population of 105,708,----771 persons enjoys the use of 13,411,379telephones. That is to say, in thiscountry we.find one telephonefor every47 people, while America has installedone for every eight—one for everyother family. Put roughly, the tele-phone system of the United States issix times more developed than ours.

This proportionprevails in every partof the United States. Investigationsmade with the president of the Michi-gan State Telephone Company and thecommercial engineer of the New YorkTelephone Company yield the same re-sult. In the TJirited States we find noarea, whether urban or rural, where thetelephonefails to have developedto anextraordinary degree.It is interesting, then, to consider

what is in America the cost to varioustelephoneusers. Taking as a basis therates at Detroit, Michigan, we find, forinstance, that a moderate user, avail-ing himself of the telephone a littleover twice a day, pays £8 10s, perannum. In a city of the same size inEngland, say Manchester, the sub-scriberwould pay £10 10s Ud.

The case of very small subscribersmust also be considered^ for they suffermost from our fixed rates. Take, forinstance, a subscriberwho uses his tele-phone only once in every three days.At Detroit, owing to the fact thatMichigan follows the oldBritish systempf charging so much per annum for adetermined number of calls, this verysmall subscriber would pay £8 10s. InLondon he would pay £7 12s 6d; inBirmingham £7 2s 6d.

Here GreatBritain seems to have theadvantage, but it should be recalledtbat the buying" ppwer of money beingin theUnited States a&out 70 per cent.less than,-3 is here, the actual cost tothe very small 'subscriber is in Americamuch lower than it is in this country._ When wo come to business firms theKtna-tion in America is~ a little differ-ent. Assuming an office which, issues50 calls on every working day, thecharge for Detroit is £~180 per annum,.while the charge in London appears at<raly £83 l»4s. .Here, even if we takein the high cost of living in the UnitedStates, London has a distinct advan-tage.

The point of view of Michigan isthat it is right to charge the birr busi-ness a higher rate than the small sub-scriber. This for two reasons: Thefirst is that the small subscriber issuesmany sterile calls, makes social appoint-ments, orders groceries, etc., while thebig business issues commercial calls,.which bring in a profit, and which cantherefore bear a higher charge.._ '"The second reason is more interest-Ing; the American telephonecompanies■charge low\rates to small subscriberstoinduce them to use a telephone. Bythis means they increase enormouslythe number of subscribers and lowertheir overhead costs by spreading themover more instruments. Especially byproviding a minor fihonVe-eper with a"choa-n telephone .America nurses hissmall business, endeavours to developit into a large one.

Shs endeavours to convert a smallcustomer into an important one whowill use the telephonemore, pay higherrates, and bring in a profit. In minutetowns of less than two thousand popu-lation the American telephone com-Tsames will give unlimited servicefor aslittle as five guineas per annum.It should be mentioned that $helowest rates are charged for four-party

lines, serving, therefore, four sub-scribers, but the efficiency is so highthat this system works perfectly. InDetroit, in 1921, the percentage olTfgoi?m?btrS Wf,S Only 3 Potent.,while 96 of the calls were put throughin less than 10 seconds. I can vouchtor this personally, since, during a staym America of eight months, only oncewas I connected with a wrong number

In NewYork it is tlie same. Theretor instance, a user of a little overtwocalls a day pays £10 per annum, asagainst the London charge of £11 3s4d. This cheapness, as suggestedabove, is due to the spreading ofcharges over a great number of instru-ments. It is interesting to observe howthis spreading is brought about. It isbrought about by high commercial effi-ciency, expressing itselt in variousways.

The American telephonecompanies donot wait to be approached. One doesnot, in their country, experience delayin obtaining connection with the main;indeed, a new householder will be ap-proached by a canvasser, who induceshim to take over the existing tjeikVphone, or to instal one where noneexists. As soon as a new house is fin-ished a telephone canvasser will be intouch with the estate agent and willbe thefirst to know to whom the houseis let. In other words, the householderis pursued, instead of converting him-self into a weary pursuer.

SOLDIER AND DIPLOMATIST.

SIR R. BULSTRODE

British history furnishes at least onecentenarian who, perceiving the.singu-lar interest of his extraordinarily pro-tracted career, wrote at 96 an essay ofrare merit concerning old age.. One ofthe minor figures of the Puritan andRestoration eras, Sir Richard Pul-strode has found an undeserved e'o'ivum(says the Weekly Scotsman).

Hc was a Royalist soldier who at- jtracted the favourablenotice of Charles I1.; he was a plenipotentiary and rose ito honour at foreign Courts; he wrote'histories of his own time, not wholly;worthless; he made some mark as a'Latin poet; and he shared Jnines ll.'sexile at St. Germains. . i

Further, he was a moralist. Mjsteiyand legend may hatig about Lho,outward career of Bulstrode; but his!rich, attractive personality is discover-jable by all who will read a tiny volume ;m whvch, he muses on the wonder and!the strangeness of life. Though written )in the ninth decade, Bulstrode's reflec- jtiqns are anything but the babble of a!mind outworn. .Less epigrammatic jthan those of Bacon, they are more jthan faintly suggestive of his spacious ■wisdom.

Born in 1610, our philosopherbelong-ed to. a family which helped to make!history in the reigns of James 1. andCharles. 1. Bulstrode's father was a, ■man of some note—a lawyer, with cham- jbers in the inner Temple; while his 'mother was a daughter of Richard Ast- !ley, Chamberlain of the Household ofAnne of Denmark, Queenof James I.Educated at Pembroke College, Cam-bridge, Bulstrode followed his father's :vocation, entering the Inner Temple in '1633.

The outbreak of the Civil War, how-ever, put a stop to "the current of the .law," and caused Bulstrode to take his 'place in the Army. "1 was then/ he !say, "very young, and in a labyrinth,not knowing well which way to go ; butat last 1 resolved to go to "Whitehall Iwith, some gentlemen of the Inner Tem-ple." Arrived there he and his trienuswere ushered into the Royal presence,and "had the honour to kiss the King'shands." His Majesty "took our comingvery Kindly, aim .... told us he hoped .lie should have no need of our service. '

A Royalist by conviction, Bulstrodewas a I'uritan temperamentally. But jhowever that may be, he adored jCharles 1., s\nd never ceased to lament,"the most deplorable murder of thebest of kings," whose cause he likened ■t.O that of. King David, "who was vexedwith a civil war, both, by his son Ab-bolom, and by his own people."

Bulstrode proved a valiant, capable,arid trustworthy soldier. Nor did he jescape the scare of battle, being struuh 'on the head with a pole-axe at Edgehill. jThe mark of the wound ho retained'u»er alturwards. About this time LordAVentworth, Major-General of Horse,being anxious to get an energetic amiresourceful adjutant, choose Bulstrode. "The selection was justified our heroafterwards being promoted Adjutant-;General of Horse, and then Quartermas-ter-General. By and by he attractedthe notice or the King, who sent him toserve under General Goring.

Having fought in most of the battlesof the Civil War and befriended thecause of his Royal master till that agon-ising day when Charles perishedon thes.afiold, Bulstrode must needs sink intoobscurity during the Commonwealth. ■But with the return of the Stuarts he'Came forth, conquering and to conquer.He was given a position at theCourt of iCharles 11., and was admitted to theintimaeybi'men who had the Royal ear.Moreover, he became privy to, though jnot necessarily approving oj; the intri-

gues of Whitehall, finally, he s*nv anamount of dissoluteness which ought tohave shaken the confidence of so virtu- \ou»j a man m the ''divine right" of the ;Stewarts.

Lord Wentworth dying in 1667, Bul-strode was commanded by the King tosuperintend his funeral. What that;meant it is impossible to say. but atany rate Bulstrodewas saddled with theexpenses, which appear to have been Iconsiderable. Either he could not* or |would not pay, and "the merchants'being very importunate," he deemed itprudent to quit the country. He *pro-ceeded to Bruges, where he suffered im-prisonment.

With his flight to the Continent be-gins Bulstrode's career. The soldier hasnow become the courtier and diploma-Itist. After acting as auditor to a Scots:regiment of foot serving in the Nethner- ,lands, Bulstrode, in 16(3, was appointed}British plenipotentiary at the Court ofBrussels. During his stay in that citylie wrote a series of letters, addressedprincipally to the Earl of Arlington,lecounting the main episodes of thecampaign which was then proceeding inthe Low Countries and in France. The <correspondence, which was posthu- jtnously xmblished in 1712, throws a'steady light upon a rather obscurechapter in the history of Holland. JReturning to England in 1675 on dip- "lomatic business, Bulstrode was knight-ed. A few months laterhe resumed his jduties at Brussels, which he seems tohave discharged continuously till theRevolution. James 11. was as consciousof his worth as Charles, and conferredupon him the title of "Envoy.1 ■

During these prosperous years wehear of only one incident disturbingBulstrode's peace. In 1677 he was ac-.cussed of having uttered sentimentsderogatory to the dignity, if not pre-judicial to the honour of the Prince ofOrange. Bulstrode denied the charge,and Challenged his accuser to a duel.Whether the contest ever came off his-tory does not record; but the Princewas eventually assured of his inno-cence.

When James 11. retired to St. Ger-mains, Bulstrode. then nearing his 80thyear, with touching fidelity accompaniedthe dethroned monarch. It is difficultto understand how Bulstrode, the sear,the moralist, the author of wise sayingson the art of living, could resign him-self to the miasma of the Court of St.Germains. If Macaulay is to be be-lieved, there would not be a duller placeon earth; the palace bore the aspect ofa monastery, and within was "discord,jealousy, bitterness of spirit."

Yet such was Bulstrode's belief inJames, such his conviction of the right-eousness of the Steuart cause, that hetolerated life at the ignoble Court fortwenty years. His lines could not havebeen' cast in pleasant places. Therewould be many rebuffs, many occasionson which lie would be sorely tempted tocompromise principles which, through along life, had been a lamp unto his feetand a light unto his path. Perhaps,however, the courtiers of James decentlyrespected an old man, well-affected to-ivards the exiled monarch, and withwhose name the tongue of scandal hadnever been busy.

We now behold Bulstrode in theevening of his life, retired from honour-able activity and happy in the re-sources of his own mind. He who hadwitnessed the clash of arms and theconflict of policies, who had apportion-ed his time "between books, men of themost polite parts, and affairs of thegreatest moment," was now "grown oldto all worldly pleasures, after many longand faithful services to the Crown; andbeing wholly unacquainted with riches,and finding little taste in common con-versation," he spent his time in "writ-ing some memoirs poems, and other

discourses" so that the world mightknow that his last days were not givenup to ''idleness and vanity."

How this venerable servant of thefetate looked at this time we cannottell, but he is said to have enjoyed awonderful firmness of mind andsrength of body to the very last. "Whenan octogenarian Bulstrode frequentlywalked twelve miles in a day. He wasalso capable of protracted and learnedstudy. This period witnessed his poeti-cal efflorescence. No fewer than onehundred and eighty-five Latin elegies ]and epigrams, chiefly on sacred subjects, icame from his pen. Even when Bul-strude had nassed his ninetieth year his ■literary industry was unabated. It was "then that he wrote the remarkable es-says to which I have already referred.One of the papers, that on old age,was actually written when he was with-in four years of becoming a centen-arian.

Bulstrode, who was tw.ce married,was the father or five sons ami tourdaughters. To Whitlocke Bulstrode hewas much attached, Rising to fame a»|a mystical writer an<i controversialist,:the son shared neither the political northe religious opinions of his father. Hewas a strong Hanoverian, and m 1717 irelieved his conscience by publishing a,pamphlet "touching the late Rebellion!and what means led to it, and of the'Pretender's title; showing the duty ana'interest to all Protestants to be faithful,to King George." - j

Though he deplored the "mischievous'liberty or writing" and the "number otscribblers in this last age," Bulstrodewas h:Jiiseli an inveterate' scribbler. His!writings were mostly historical,and in-cluded a Lire ot James If. and a vindi-cation of the "Royal Martyr and ofCharles II." from "fanatical asper-sions."

Bulstrode died an exile at St. Uei-mains on October 3. 1711. Death is said'to havebeen immediatelydue, notto oldage. but to an indigestion, which mightnot have ended fatally had his ownphysicians been available. In the pTe-:face to one of his books, his age isgiven as a hundred and one years andtwo months, but other authorities statethat he lived one hundred and fiveyears. , ;

That Bulstrode sympathised with theprecepts of Stojcism is evident from his!essays, of which his son, Whitlocke, says jthat "they are writ in the smooth1style of a courtier, with the spirit andair of a gentleman, and with thestrength of a man of letters." One olhis maxims was that of a man havingspent the spring and summer of hislife in vanity, error, and ignorance,;should lay up "a stock of sold wisdomfand virtue" for the winter of his age. ■He believed that the vigour of lifeshould be expended in the public ser-viice; the remainder in retirement andreflection. He was cordially of "Woruh-worth's opinion that the world is toomuch with us. j

Nowhere is the beauty, 4epth, andtidiness of Bulstrode's mind, more ap-parent than in what he has to say ot oldage. To read the thoughts of a cen-:tenanan on such a theme is indeed anovel experience. Bulstrode begins t>ysaying tnat he hopes "it will not bethought unreasonable for an old man,who can scarce remember his climuc !terical year," to presume to show someadvantage of old "age. He is not blind'to thepathos of the situation. "We oldmen cannot butbe something concerned,to think that we grow less and leaneveryday." ,

But old age, Bulstrode would have usknow, is not without its calm delights.If for no other reason, it should be wel-comed because it g:'ves time, "to ventand boil away the turbulent passions ofour younger years." Then they wnolive longest must needs be wisest, hnv-ing had more opportunities of observingl"humours and interests." Besides"the quiet composure of an old mairsmind keeps him from wearing out sofast." Even deathloses half its terrorsfor old men, tar "by dying of old age, aAian does no more than go to bed \lhen.hs is weary." I

Thus Bulstrode worms his way tt> theconclusion that, provided nature andreason be followed, old age is _ amighty blessing. He is impatient with 'those who complain of the shortneso oflite, as they generally make it so"either by doing ill, doing nothing, ordoing anything besides.theirbusiness.";What impresses most is the buoyancy;of Bulstrode's spirit. The heart is still jlight and the mind strong. The desire.is to make the most ot lite, and so r«-jdeem the tim«. j

"L wish with all my soul." he con- ieludes, -'that I had thought better andsooner of my end; but 1 must nowmake the more haste, and, being m.good health (he was 96), I must spur,on, like those that set out late on ajourney. It is better to learn late thanno- at all, although it be only to in-:struct me how 1 may leave the stage otthis world with a perfect resignation. |Thub 1 shall sink with ease into mygrave, and though 1 die old, I shallrise young in the other world." i

To Bulstrode the world was a'comedywhich no man could hope to viewaright |unless he shook himself free of its dis-traction. "Business and converea-Jtlona," ho says quaintly, "are thieves,that steal away a great part of our;limn, and usually stu ffour memory!

i with rubbish." If we are wise, we will! "untwist our affections, and slide offfrom the world before the world slipsfrom us."i What Bulstrode has to say of convet-| sation is wholly edifying. Candour is

ciled as the golden rule, and witpleasantry, and diverting tales arc, highly commended. Men, he says, talkbest at meals; and for illustration hogives an entertaining account of howCharles 11. demeaned himself at privateMippers with, men of good parts. Bul-strode, however, cautions the wit to be-ware of the pest that breeds quarrels,and honourable men to be not over-talkative in the company of prettywomen.

Herewe may take leave of SirRichardBulstrode, a chivalrous knight, a wisemoralist, an amazing centenarian. Theepitaph which Similis, one of Hadrian'sgenerals desired should be engraved up-on his tomb was often on Bulstrode'sHps> and, considering that he believedthat a man began to be himself only

I when he retired, he would have wishednothing better than that the epitaph, ofSimilis should have been adapted tohimself. Then he who sought Bul-atrode's grave might have read this in-scription: "Here tiesRichard Bulstrode,

jKnight, of a very great age, who yet! Uved but 20 years, relating only to the

" time of his retirement."

THE WAIHI GOLDFIELD.

REJUVENATION POSSIBLE

FURTHER EXPLORATION 'WORTHWHIT^E

The fascinating pursuit of gold hasone of its romances in New Zealand inthe rich production over a lcng teifnof years of the great Waihi goldfield,which until a few years ngo was, as atwere, the Rand of the Dominion. Thepossibility of again striking a rich veinof ore has always heen considered, anda preliminary report on the resurveyof the 'Tvaihi goldfield by Mr. P. G.Morgan, Director of Geological Survey,renews hopes of a rejuvenation of thefield, making further explorationworthwhile. The report just published is ofa highly technical nature, and only thegeneral conclusions can be properlyappreciated by the general reader, butthe expert will find the whole extremelyinteresting.

The Waihi goldfield, declares Mr.Morgan in a summary of his observa-tions, . "has apparently reached ihestage of old age, and the geologist hasbeen asked to state whether its re-juvenation is possible. On the whole,the verdict of the writer is favourableto a prolongation of the life of thefield.Extensive lateral exploration and sink-ing to a depth of about 2000 feet arerecommended."

The principle reasons for the re-survey, which lasted from November toJanuary last, are given by Mr. Morganas follow:—(1) As time-went on someof . the conclusions advanced in NewZealand Geological Survey Bulletin No.15 were found to be untenable, andothers at leasthighly doubtful: (2) newdata afforded by the deeper workings ofthe Waihi and Grand Junction mineshave become available during the pastten or eleven years; (3) the markedthough perhaps not great evolution ofnew methods and more especially ofnew ideas in the science of economicgeology during the decade 1911-21 hasrendered reconsideration of Waihi geo-ogy advisable; (4) since 1911 work inthe deper levels of the Waihi and GrandJunction mines, while continuing toyield considerable amounts of payableore, has failed to reveal any of thosehigh-grade ore bodies known as bon-anzas, and therefore it was desirableto ascertain if geological reasoningwould point to the presence or absenceof such ore bodies either in depth orin areas laterally outside the groundalready explored.

The area examined during the sur-vey consisted of a belt of countryseveral miles wide, extending fromOwharoa, five miles west of Waihi. toWaihi beach, five miles to the east Theworkings of the Waffii and Grand Junc-tion mines were in part closely ex-amined, and it is intended to 'makefurther underground exploration be-fore the main rennr-t is finally drafted.Brief visits to lO.ra^ahnke, GoldenCross, and Maratcto were also made.

LATERAL EXPLORATION.The hypothesis advanced in BulletinNo. 15, that an intrusive mass of dacite

contains Hie principal ore deposits -atWaihi having been completely dis-proved, the probability (if finding orebodies by lateral exploration is nowmuch greater than the authors of thatbulletin thought. In view of the greatrichness of the ground that has beenworked in the Waihi and Grand Junc-tion mines, the careful prospecting ofall propylitised quartz andesite out-side the 'known lode-bearing area isthoroughly justifiable. In particular,the exploration of the western side ofthe Martha Hill, where c.xidised ror-kextendsto the greatest depthyet reach-ed in mining onerations, is stronfiyrecommended. The probability of pay-able, and even bonanza, ore fit or nearthe horizon where the oxidised zonemerges into the sulphide- zene is con-siderable, and may even tie great.

DISCOVERING ORE IN DEPTH.As is well known, outcropping oreshoots in tertiaryvolcanic rocks almostinvariably end at depths of from a few

hundred feet to IGOOft., though in a few-cases they extend to 1500ft. In manymines, however, new ore-shoots, notoutcropping at the surface, are foundeven at- depths of 1000ft, or more, andsome of these—rather rarely, it is truePreach depths of over 2000ft. AtCripple Creek numerous hidden oreshoots have been found during miningoperations. The most striking exampleof bonanza ore in depth appears to bethe California and Consolidated Vir-ginia ore shoot, found towards thenorthern end of the Comstoek lode at adepth of 195ft., and is said to have

Iyielded one-tenth of.the entire produc-, tion of the lode, or over £6.000,000; worth of gold and silver. The nearest! surface shoot ended more than 1000ft.away. In viewof the geologicalhistory!of the former elevation far above seaI level, the existence of rich ore at aIdepth of 2000ft. is not improbable,ithough it would be too much to postu-late a bonanza so rich and extensive

!as that of the California and Consoli-dated Virginia.Against the likelihood of payable

! gold and silver ore at great depth in

' tertiaryvolcanic rocks is urged not only,past experience, but the hypothesis of, a critical level for.ore-deposition deter-! mined by .conditions of temperature',■ and, to a less extent, of pressure. Thisviow is advanced in Bulletin No. 15.While it must be admitted, that if thetemperature of the ore-bearing solu-i tions exceeded365 degrees C (the criti-cal temperature of water) ore deposi-

tion would be unlikely, there appearsto be no reason for supposing that thecritical ftvel as determined by tem-i perature was over 5000ft.—possiblymuch more—Below the then surface,jand, after a liberal allowance for ero-sion since the period of lode formationhas boor, made, it was probably 4000ft.jheW- the present land surface. It isi unlikely that the pressure at that depth, would markedly retard ore deposition.A striking decrease in ore values hastaken place at depths over 1000ft. ormore, but other causes for this can beassigned, and they do not exclude, butrather favour the view that shoots ofmvnble ore will be found at still deeperlevels.

If. however, exploration ..should Vcarried to 2*V)offc. without new oreshoots being discovered, further sinkingw<MiTd not h«* advisable. From thisopinion probably no one will dissent

Ape-man of' Java th&lremains of which were found thirtyyears ago by Dr Eugene Dubois. 5

In 1837 Dr Dubois, then an assistantin Anatomical Department of the Unl-"yers'ty of Amsterdam became so con-:-vmced that the "Missing Link" IkMtween mail and the ape's would, hefound in the Dutch East Indies thatne gavetip his University position (andseemed to his friends to sacrifice all *hope of a career in science) to embark -on apparently the most fantastic of*ail quests. Be went out to Java as ;*

'military surgeon, and oublished ?.n ac-count of the object of his Eastern pil-"gnmajre.

The really amazing result was the"1discovery of Pithecanthropus in 189.L..1Dubois believed that this Ape-Man be-longed to the Upper Pliocene period/bat the subsequent work of the Se-'lenka expedition seems to,have provedthat its age was really Early Pleisto-cene. There is now no doubt that -Pithecanthropus is a member1 of tKehuman family.

This will indicate the tremendous-importance of the new discovery inAmerica of a creature akin to Pithe-canthropus that belongs unquestion-ably to the Plioceue * age, and thus'seems to be the earliest member of thehuman family now known.Its fc'nshlp with the Javan fossil-adds point to the'remarkmade by Pro-fessor Osborn (before that relationship'£-->* raggested) that Hesperopithecus'

probably wandered over here (Ameri-*ca) from Asia with the large South/Asiatic element which has" recentlybeen discovered in our fauna by Mer-riam.

RUSTLESS IRON.

The progress that is being made "atSheffield in reducing the cost of stain-less iron, for which a great future' isprophesied, is described in the SheffiledChamber of Commerce journal.I Experiments have been in hand forsome time, it is stated, to find whethera ductile (malleable) material could bemade with rust-resisting properties, sothat it could be used for many purposesfor which stainless steel, on account ofits hard nature, has proved unsuitable.-Stainless steel cannot be used for.articles of' intricate shapes with -snafuangles, which have to be fashioned Giltof the cold metal. Stainless steel alsorequires to be hardened to ensure pro^duction and retention of its rustlessproperties, and many articles are soshaped as to make hardening an im-possibility. Rustless iron overcomes aljthese difficulties, and is a remarkaMe"advance on anything previously offered.I This material may possibly revolu-tionise many traces where the use of

i ordinary iron or steel has so far been':unsuitable owing to the inability cfordinary iron or steel to withstand cor-rosive action. Rustless iron only re-quires to be finished bright ohd witha good polish to be rust-resisting. Allthe user has to do is to polish the sizr-face.

' Rustless iron will take a polish ernialto that obtained on electro-plate, andis impervious without attention to rustand tarnishing. This cannot be said~ofjbrass, copper."~electro-plate, or even s:l----!ver, ;i3l of which, unless regularlycleaned, tarnish.i Rustless iron has been put to themost severetests. A few of its possible

i uses are for motor-car fittings, bodies,wheel discs, door handles, brackets,

GREAT TRADITIONS.VALUE IN NATION-BUILDING1

FRENCH TKiiiUTE TO NEWZJ&~-vL~yj.\i>ili\o

An excellent lecture on "The Value*>£ Tradition'> was delivered by Au\ i<.ii. Bakewell, M.a., uluet m^oLtur of .-iieiiools, to members or tne otu liattery-*tt tiie Community (Jluo, Wellington, 'under the .National defence leagues

scheme. Tne battery mus-

_tiered in full strength and accorded the■lecturer a most appreciative hearing. :After dealing most interestingly witn 1"the characteristics and tradif-oas of the 'Jiritish race m war, Mr. Bakeweli said:

""What I want to impress on youis this: That in virtue of

your finer climate, your more generousenvironment .and your freer and n glierstandard of living, there is none or tlie

which have so distinguishedlifae British nation in war that you donot possess in the highest degree.When the main "body of the New Zeu-iand Expeditionary Force was march-ing through the streets of Wellington, |-aa 'Imperial officer" said to me-. 'Of

those men will not be put in theline. They will be employed iv

garrison duty and in "keeping up lmes"of communication.'

4* Well, 1 am not a military man, and*»uldn't argue with him, but for nearlyforty years I have been teaching gener-ations of New Zealand boys, have been iintimately associated with them, seeing

.'every week, almost, ai? their (work and games, studying their char-acters, reading their very thoughts andminds as laid bare in the thousands otlittle compositions that they write fortob every year, and when I talk about

New Zealand I know what I amtalking about, and I know the stuff*hose boys were made of and the spiritthat was in them, and could have told*nat officer that :f they had tried toIreep our men out of the firing line, inthree months they would have started3i campaign of their own and carried ,it through, too. j

"But my intention is not to say so■roach about what we thought of our- ,selves as about what others thought iof us. Shortly after the conclusion of i"the war a great function took place in j"Paris. Thousands of young recruitsTrho had joined the colours of the* regi-ments quartered in Paris were as- ;sembled for the purpose of taking the |■oath, of military service to the Be- .public. The officer in command of thegarrison, a distinguished general, was !ihere to speak to them on loyalty and ,patriotism and duty to their country, jIn drawing illustrations and examples'ior such an appeal to young Frenchsoldiers iust think-what a magnificent :■field the general had at his disposal—i■the most brilliant military history ofthe world—Joan of Arc, Turenr.e, the jglories of the grand monarchNapoleon,,"Marenga, Austerlitz, Jena—and. ifthese were not enough, surely the spiritof France had shone forth from a hun-dred fields in the great struggle that j"Lad only just ended. Rut he mnde no!mention of these. 'Young soldiers orthe Republic,' he sa:d, 'before I beginmy address I wish to read to you anarmy order recently issued from head-<qnarters,' and this is what he read out:

Paris, Novenruer 29, I3iy. ;; iirmy Orders.

The President of the Council or |the Ministry of "War mentions the

" name of the following British of-ficer, Major-General Sir Andrew.Russell, of the New Zealand Ex- jpetitionary Force, has led a splen-did division to countless victories.Its exploits have not been equalled", 'and its reputation was such thaton the arrival of the division onthe Somme during the most critical. days of March, 1918, tne flight ofthe inhabitants immediately ceased.The division covered itself with 'fresh glory during the battles ofthe Ancre, at the Sambre. at Pues-oeux au Mont, Bapaume, Creve-coeur, and Le Quesnoy.

Given by order of the Presidentof the Cotrncil of the Ministry ofWar.

(Signed) Boeker,Colonel,

Adjutant-General of the Cabinet." 'Now, I ask you/ the General

went on, ' 'to take notice of one fact:that on the arrival on the battlefieldof these soldiers the flight of the in-habitants immediately ceased. It wasIndeed one of the most critical periodsof the war. The line had been broken,the enemy was pressing through to an-ticipated victory, and the unfortunatepeople of the countryside were fleeingin terror from the horrors of theßoche>

- invasion. Figure to yourselves whatIt all meant. The road crowded withthe fugitives, old men, despairingand weening women and children,bear-ing with them such few householdtreasures -as they could drag alongThen the arrival of troop-trains withreinforcements—company after company of khaki men are detrained andImrried into the firing line. "Qui sontcc gens?' 3 (Who are these men?), thepeople asked, and then it was theflight was stayed. The officer who was

, -directing the evacuation sent his aide-<le-camp to enquire the reason. Hecame back. 'General,' he said, 'thepeople say that they are not going anyfurther, that these are the soldiers: from New Zealand, 'et tout va bien,'and all's well. They will soon bel)ack in their houses—in fact, they aregetting ready to return now.'

WHY AMERICA SAYS "NO"TO RUSSIA.

— _j} .

S'ililivlNG SPEECH BY MR.HOO vi£li.

BLC^^.VDii FICTION EXPLODED."PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE NOT A

I<EiISH."

A remarkable mid most import-antspeech by iho united States Secretaryoi Commerce,Mr. Hoover, delivered tothe aniiuul meeting of the UnitedStates Chamber of Commerce, hasattracted widespread attention in viewof its statement of the attitude ofAmerica towards I'tolshevik Russia.

Mr. Hoover (.says the Washingtoncorrespondent of the Loiidon liniesjspoke of how, with the overthrow oftrie old regime, the pendulum swung toa frenzy oi destruction thathas broughtRussia's economic system to iuin. TheRussian people are dying ''from thedestruction of productivity," and theirhope of relief "is in evolution, not in Irevolution." To-day, he went on, the >social pendulum is swinging back, j. Communism has been abandoned for a jcioss-breed of individualism and milder!; but equally unworkable forms of jSocialism. The Russian Governmenti, must not be confused with the Russian

.'people, lor to-day the adherents of its; beliefs in Russia have diminished to a j. very small minority. But whether the;:number of adherents be small or large, !

" Russia must work out her own political ;■■ and economic system.L THE BLOCKADE FICTION.I America to-day is providing charity

in Russia in a. measure tenfold greater". than all the rest of the »vorld, and i>~ saving the lives of ten million people,J but charity "at best is but a temporary.j expedient," and real and lasting help j

must be based upon cold economics."Mr. Hoover referred to the charge thatAmerica was responsible for the greatcatastrophe by her continuation of theblockade after the war was won and tohis earlier belief that this course wasunwise.

"We know now, however," he con-

' tinned, "that it would not have madej a jot of economic difference in the real

situation of the Russian people hadthe blockade never been imposed. Theeconomic troubles of Russia were fromwithin, and not from without; for Rus-sia's production vras being destroyed

'B in tins social experiment, and she hadP no commodities for exchange, even if-r exchange had been permitted. This is,

indeed, now demonstrated£o have beenc truly the case, because the blockade

was removed two years ago.Proof that access to Russia alone was

not a solution was evident, "for if wesubtract the goods that have boenmoved into Russia by the charity ofAmerica, and two or three hundred mil-lion dollars' worth of goods importedwith the old gold reserve, the suppliesmoving the course of trade have beenpitiable. The people were starvingeven before the drought. The exports of goods from Russia for 1921 was lessthan 10,000,000 dollars (£2,000,000),c as compared with 700,000,000 (£140,-

---tl 000,000) before the war."BOLSHEVIST OFFERS.

S Then came some passages eminentlyworth citation in full.

j "Some Russian oiticials have heldout promises of great advantage to usif we would re-establish Ambassadorsc and would come to her economic assist-ance. It is a constantly reiterated

o statement that here is a vast field forthe- sale of American goods for the_ employment of millions of Americanworkmen. These statements have the_ same degree of inflation as the Bolshe-

h vi.vt rouble, which now stands at4,000,000 to the dollar.

* "When Russia was running full blasto previous to the war, she took 1 per

cent, of the exports of the UnitedStates, which, when reduced to terms

n of the working time of our workmenand farmers, meant roughly employ-

l, ment to, say, 30,000 Americans. Weare not, therefore, nor over will be,

d dependent upon Russia lor the physi-cal welfare of our people.

;t "If America is to consider financialassistance to Russia on any basis ex-:> cept charity, we must examine, thewhole problem from a practical point ofs view. Two solemn facts are outstand-

"The first is that Russia is bankrupt.n She has no productivity; her factories

and mines, even where they are found-ed on Russian raw material and re-

t pairs, are producing but from 2 to 2-3per cent. ; her railways are transporting

n less than 7 per cent, of their pre-warcapacity; her agricultural production is

l- below her own needs, instead of thegreat normal surplus; she has eaten upc her entire fat, and can for a long timehave nothing to exchange for the ser-a vices of our workmen or the savings ofour investors. Therefore, if we would

" supply work, capital, and talent to re-i construction or productivity in Russia,; they must be given upon credit orcharity.j "Second, when our people are calledupon to place their savings in such in-

vestments they will be likely to ask'~ for security for repayment and evidencethat-there will be a return to produc-e tivity in order that payment may bea made. We arrive at onceat a primary°_ consideration of those economic essen-[ tials that will make productivity pos-,' sible and that will give security top investment."rj 'A FATAL DIFFICULTY.g' Mr. Hoover then quoted from Mr.n Hughes' note of March, 1921, the pas-e sage ending with the declaration thati- "production is conditioned upon safetyc of life, recognition by firm guaranteesd of private property, the sanctity ofi- contract, and the righs of free labour."J' This satement he characterised as noth-x ing but '"'a hard, cold, economic fact,"J and he admitted that since it was madeo Russia had made "some progress to-. , wards these primary essentials."?t\ But, he continued, "the fatal diffi-, culty is that, even under the presentir somewhat modified system, bothx security and promise of productivity;- are insufficiently certain, and this cer--0 tainty has to be made clear, not to thes American Government, which is nowx the moneylender, nor to- the American; banker, who is but the broker, but toc the American investor, whose savings8 are at stake, and to the American mer-chant, whose goods are to be contracted: for'' j "Unless the confidence of these mer-I chants and investors can be secured" there will be no credits extended othert than the minor sums of the greedy■- speculator. Our citizens, in eonsider-<■-ing these things, naturally raise the>- question of the treatment of our fellow-!| countrymen who have already investedtheir savings in Russia, not alone be-

' cause of any solicitude for the com-| paratively small sum of such invest-£ nient, but because their treatment willt be nn index of confidence to others, and■_ far beyond this, because there lies here

_a principle to which the American1 people must needs take heed, for that

± principle-lies at the root of the wholebasi.-s of international commerce.

THE RIGHTS OF PROPERTY."This principle is that, unless foreign

merchants and investors nw.y enjoy pro-,perty and se^aicy of contract under'tho terms of the institution by whichthey acquired iiiem, or, alternatively, !receive compelisa-tion for the_ loss of;them, then iho whole fabric ot interna- jtional trade and commerce will dis-jappear, and t'nv world vfiil go up in ichaos. It i.> impossible to conceivecommerce between nations that is notfounded upon the right of property andupon the sanctity of contract. A cen-tury ago nations were nearly enoughself-supporting to withstand such ashock. Tho world has now grown iutoabsolute intw-dependerice. The verylife of the people depends upon themovement v!' commodities and goodsfrom on© nation to another.

"Property rights are not a fetish;they are an instrument of industry andcommerce, and are as indispensable asships. Unless there can be assuranceof tho security of .these rights offoreigners, there can Be no. processes ofexchange in goods or investment of sav-ings. There is no enforcement of pro-perty rights and contract between

|nations unless we are to force the testlof war, which America has always re-jfused to do. Our only course is to de-jcline relationship until these things arejmaintained. Upon confidence in goodfaith in these principles among nationsrests the whole fabric of internationallife. j! "These are not academic theories.'.,They are questions which affect the life;and death of millions of people outsideof Russia who are dependent upon in-ternational commerce for their dailybread. They are the economic founda-:tions of relations that must be estab-lished with "Russia, for they alone willmake for her real reconstruction andthe salvation of her people. All else is,beside the point, except charity, which,'iin the nature of things, mvsffc be tem-porary." j

"A PERFECT DAY."

SONG THAT MADE FORTUNE, j

Staying at a London hotel recentlywas a woman whose work is familiar tomillions of people. She was Mrs CarrieJacobs-Bond, the composer of the song"A Perfect Day." She was last in Eng-land 12 years ago, but that was before"A Perfect Day" had reached Eng-land. During her stay in London shevisited a West End theatre, and thesong formed an interlude in the play.How little did the players think thatthe delighted and surprised composerwas watching them!

Mrs Carrie Jacobs-Bond is an Ameri-can," white-haired, beautifully gowned,and charming. Hers is the story of astruggling widow—at times in. want ofeven food and warmth—who has earneda great fortune. The song "A Per-fect Day" brought her "a whole world-ful of friends," as she has describedit, and more than 4,000,000 copies havebeen sold.

"We had been watching the sun setfrom a beautiful hill in California,-" shesaid to an interviewer, "and I wenthome to get dressed for a dinner."While I was trying to dress I wrotethe words on a card, and I put it awayfor three months.

"Then one night we were drivinga-n'-rss the Mohave desert in the moon-light, and I started humming thosewords to the tune that you know. Andthat was 'A Perfect Day.' The wildroses on the cover were my ownwater-colour design—l always paintedmy own covers until five years ago."

"Now let me show you what 'A Per-fect Day' h-is done for me," she added,as she opened a bi«r album anddisclosedsome photographs of the beautifulhome she has built at Hollywood, LosAngeles.

Mrs Jacobs-Bend was left a widowwith no resources, and to keep herselfand her son she began giving concertsand writing songs. She obtained themenus for publishing her first songsby painting china—and also by goingwithout food and warmth. "I hadseven desperate years," she said, de-scribing it, "and there were not manyperfect days then. ..."

Altogether she has written morethan 400 songs, and has graduallybuilt Tip an immense publishing busi-ness, which her son now manages.

Thousands of letters were sent toher by soldiers during the war, sopreat had been the appeal of "A Per-fect Day."

NATURAL HISTORY.~*~QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What are the knots in wood? Theyare the hard wood on the-surface ofthe trunk from wliich. branches have-been cut or broken.

How can leaves be skeletonised? Itis only necessary to place them betweenthe leaves of a book; time is the chem-ist who will do the rest.

Do frogs drink? No; not in the waythat we do. They require much mois-ture, but absorb it by means of the■skin. And, of course, their food isvery moist.

Will a cat die if it eats* beetles Notif the bettles are not poisonous. Somerats snap up cockroaches with appar-ent enjoyment, while others will nottouch them,

.Are ostrich feathers obtained by cruelmethods? No; the_ feather is cut*?;>">>ugh the insensitive shank, andthis, when ready to be cast at the ordi-nary moult, is painlessly removed.

How can the grey ring round a can-ary's neck be removed? It cannot bedone. The marking shows that theblood of the linnet or goldfinch or otherbird runs in the canary's veins.How long will a captive bullfinchlive? Nature intended all the finchtribe to enjoy about 15 years' existence,but cage life, with its lack of exerciseand unskilful feeding, is very uncer-tain.

Does a guinea pig overfeed ifgiven plenty of food? Not, not if theright sort of food is given, but thewriter once lost 11 guinea pigs in aday through, as he supposes, raw pota-toes being given to them in his absence.Why do some ants have wings? Theviiigs are borne only by the queensand drones for a single day's flight. Atthe end of the day the queen returnsto the nest and Kites off her wings; thedrones die or are killed.

Do house flies grow"? Not after theyleave the crysalis stage. A house gen-erally entertains two or three speciesof fly of as many sizes. Where two ofthe same species differ in size we knowthat the smaller had the poorer foodsupply during its larvae stage.

How does water travel to the tops oftrees against gravity? Water from thesoil, containing organic and mineralmatter, has the power to penetrate therootlets. It is of higher density thanthe moisture already present, and socan force its way from cell to coll tothe topmost twig.

IMPERIAL AIR DEVICE.

THE BUKNEY SCHEME

I LONDON, May 12.About twenty members of the Indus,

trial Group in the House of Commonsmet to discuss Qonimander Burney'sscheme for establishing an airship mailand passenger service to Australia, viaIndia. Mr. A. H. Ashbolt, in an ad-dress on the Imperial aspect of thescheme, is stated to have intimatedthat the Australian CommonwealthGovernment would probably be pre-pared to vote a subsidy of £150,000 ayear towards the cost of the scheme,though the matter was not definitelysettled. Commander Burney was pres- 'jent and explained his proposals.

It is proposed that a company shouldbe formed, to which the Governmentwould be asked to transfer, free ofcost, all its airships, material, and air-ship bases. The capital would be£4,000,000,consisting of £1,800,000inordinary shares, and the remainder indebentures. Financial backing wouldbe sought from the Government to theextent of asking it to guarantee a 6per cent, dividend free of income-tax,on the ordinary shares for ten years,and also the interest on the debentures,which would be redeemed after tenyears. The company would undertaketo institute a repayment fund of£25,000 a year as soon as the deben-tures were redeemed to repay the ad-vances from the Government. Com-mander Burney estimates that the time-table between London and Australiawould be: Bombay 5^ days, Rangoon7^ days, Hongkong 85 days, Australia11£ days.

The meeting was informed that thetype of airship contemplated wouldcarry 200 passengers and ten tons ofmails. One of the points discussed wasthe advantage to the country of beingable to command the services of a fleetof airships which, in time of war,could render enormous assistance in co-operation with submarines. The mem-bers decided to form themselves into acommittee and send a deputation tothe Committee of Imperial Defence, tourge the commercial possibilities andthe advantages from the point of viewof defence of Commander Burney'sscheme.

The United States is takling the prob-lem of invisible and almost noiselessaeroplanes, and now the possession ofsuch a machine is described as beingno longer a figment of_the imagination.Secret trials have "been made of thealmost noiselesswinged machine. Therewas the whirr of the propeller, butthe big engine, silenced by a new de-vice, made practically no sound. Wind-noises from struts and wires can beeliminated by having machines thatneed no such external bracing, whileair-screw noise, by developments invariable pitch blades, should coon bereduced, when required, till a machinesteals across the sky with so littlesound that it cannot be heard by thepeople below. Actual, tests have re-vealed that this machine, its wings andhull "doped" a neutral tint, can skimastonishingly near a battleship withoutthe keenest look-out being able to dis-tinguish it. The aim now is to renderit still more difficult to be seen. Whenthe torpedo-plane whirls in, almosttouching the water, to send its taper-ing missile to cripple some super-dreadiiought, what reveals as much asanything this winged menace is itsshadow.

Can that shadow be eliminated orlessened ? Specialised research-workersanswer "Yes." They are now planningvarkms jealously guarded ways ofbreaking those heavy, tell-tale shadows

.by deflectinglight-rays. The significanceof such experiments, was revealed when,a huge "bomber,'' carrying a loadequivalent to enough missiles to laystreets in ruins, climbed—owing to thespecial preparation of its engines—tilllit was at a height impossible to reachduring the raiding period of the war.Here, now, is seen the full menace. Thewinged monster which, with high-flying motors, having devices permit-t:ng the pilot at any moment to silencetheir deafening roar, has added to itsterrors laboratory secrets which—

..applied to a machine already high inthe air against a vast elusive backj-ground—confers on it the power of a

! virtual invisibility.

GERMANY'S BIG STRIDES.

It would appear from latest Conti-nental newspapers that Germany hasmade wonderful strides in the expan-

J sion of aviation during the past threeyears. Under the terms of the armis-tice and the Peace Treaty practicallyall the German aeroplanes were de-

i stroyed or confiscated. Despite thisGermany had 990 miles of airlines pre-pared and in operation in 1919, and this

" was increased to 1400 miles in 1920, andjto 1935miles in 1921. These lines wereselected with the utmost care, and mostof them are located on what are certainto be the great international air routes.i During the thre-e years no fewer than

1,150,000 miles were flown and over 94per cent, of the scheduled flights werecompleted. There was no fatal accident

jto passengers during theperiod, thoughsome forced landings and minormishaps were accountable for injuries,but the injuries amounted to only one

,in every 160,000 miles flown. In these'three years 1,000,0001b of mail matter. was delivered and over SOO tons ofgoods carried, the latter being-princi-pally goods supplied under mail order.I For the same three years France has

expanded her air programme consider-ably, as is shown by the followingtable:—

Miles Passengers Parcels, lb. Lettercovered. carried. (approx.) Mails, lb.

1919 ... 158,606 58t5 14,400 2001920 ... 529,454 1.721 110,000 9,000IS2I ... 1,457,437 10.336 375,000 21,000j Figures which are available for theI air mail between France and Moroccofor 1921 are also very instructive. Inthe "round" journey there and back,the increases have been very marked.In January, 1921, the total was 16,377letters; in January, 1922, the number

' was 50,851, equal to over 300 per cent,increase. Curiously, the despatchfngsfrom Morocco to Franco %vere greatlyin excess—viz., 32,691, as against18,160 in the reverse direction. So, steady has been the growth of the airmail that it has caused the Secretaryof State to augment the facilities byincreasing the service between Toulouseand Casablanca from three to five timesper week, as from the month of March,, necessitating a fleet of 90 aeroplanes.! The following monthly figures of letters

' carried during 1921 speak for them-selves : —February, 12,025; March,14,005; April, 17,179; May, 18,878-June, 22,378; July, 28,103; Ai;-ust,34,283; September, 35.006; October,i 40,601; November, 41,330; December,Signor Vaugean, a leading Italianballoon expert, has invented what is

termed an "airless airship." and sosatisfied have the Italian Governmentexperts been with tne model presentedthat orders have been given for theconstruction of an airslup to the plans

of the inventor. The dirigible is tobe a vacuum, with three ordinary en-velopes, one inside the other. From aperfest vacuum in the inner envelopeair pressure will be regulated in theintermediate and outer envelopesso asto prevent collapse in t"he air throughthe enormous pressure of the outer air.The airship is to be fitted with four 300horse-power engines to burn heavy oilinstead of petrol. These engines, inaddition to propelling the airship, willalso be used to provide the vacuum bythe expulsion of air from the envelopesas and when required. It is claimedthat the dirigible will develop a speedof at least 250 miles per hour, and thusbring London within fifteen hours' jour-ney of New York. Italianexperts are,according to the Italian newspapers,enthusiastic over the invention, whichthey confidently expect will revolution-ise dirigible flying.

The shearersand shed hands' disputecame heiove the Conciliation Councilyesterday. A lengthy discussioncentredaround the difficult times through"whick the sheepfaroiers are passing"owing to increased labour costs andhigh, taxation. The unionists contend-ed that the sheeptarmers were betteroif to-day than last year, owing to theimproved outlook for wool, but theemployers' agent (Blr.^V. A. Nicholson)

MALNUTRITION.

CAUSE OF SICKNESS AMOIsUCATTL&.

(BY TELEGRAPH PHESB ASSOCIATION.)WELLINGTON, July Ib.

J Souk* fcinw ago sickness broke outf in the dairy herds on six sections of1 th« itepaiott estaus, on the Taupo-jRotorua route. Sixty-nine head oftcattle were affected and thirteen died.1An investigation proved that the landjon which they were reared was quit©clean and was not affected by bujsh

sickness, as was believed by some localfarmers. When the cattle were re-moved from the high country to swampland they quickly recovered. Officersot the live stock'division of the Agri-cultural Department who made an in-vestigation are oi the opinion that theoutbreak is not bush sickness, but isjmore associated with malnutrition thananything else. It is probable that thesickness was caused through the oatt--9being depastured on poor, light land,which had lacked proper manuring forthe last three or four years.

1922 REVEILLE.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL EVENING

The high standard of excellence setby the artists and performers in the1922 Reveille is still maintained, andanother much appreciated programmewas given at the Opera House lastnight. Every item was well received,and an enthusiastic house, demanded anumber of encores. Mr Lints has prov-ed himself to be an organiser and aproducer of exceptionalworth, for whileHawe^'is recovering from the surprisereceived a few nights ago it is plainly

I evident that as the season proceeds the

' members of the Reveille are fast los'jng| all signs ofbeing lamateurs. From start

to finish of last night's programme theaudience was held intensely interestedby the beauty of the production. "Oh!By Jingo," in which Mrs Wylds was thesoloist was the first item on the pro-gramme and the pleasing manner in

which it was rendered put the audxneein the right spirit for what was to foi-low. The dance of the dolls was excel-lent, the small performers goingthrough tne various movements in avery creditable manner. "Human Statu-ary" was" a eleven- display, and fullydeserved the applause given. In tnofourth item, Miss Beeban MacDonaldand Mr Lints, together with eightothers, made their appearance *n anaction song, "Little Mr BaggyBreeches," and received a great recep-tion. One of the delightful Reveilleballets followed, beauty of movement,pretty dresses, effective stage lighting,and last but not least, the support 01an excellent orchestra, made a fascinat-ing combination. LittleDellThompson,in her Item, entitled "The Poetry ofMotion.," thoroughly earned the en-core accorded her. The Dutch pictures(song "and dance) in which Miss Mac-Donald and Mr Lints introduced a triplewaltz clog, was one of the brightesthits of the evening, and "The HumanPack of Cards" was a march as de-lightful as it was original. The (secondhalf of the programme opened with anaerial fox trot (cabaret) by Miss I. Pur-ser and Mr Lints, and was followedby Miss MacDonald's impersonation ofa, coster girl, "Up Before the Beat,"for fighting in the street. Both num-bers wereexceptionally good. Mr Lints'original Chinese cabbage ballet, inwhich he" introduced local hits, causedmuch meifrimenf7~ and the audienceforced him to make a second appear-ance. A Haiwaiian song and dance,with Mrs "Wylds as soloist, introduce*!a novel scene as did "The Human Barof Music" comedy, and Mr Lints, by. his exhibition of club swinging, etc.,

1 added to his good reputation as an en-tertainer. The Reveille March, a bril-liant stage spectacle, in which 130 ver-

*formers were presented, was a fittingI conclusion to the production.I The committee desire to thank Mr

Jury for his kind forethought in sup-plying beef tea to the performers.

Mr Lints has a lot of new noveltiesfor the change of programme for nextThursday and Friday. The 1922 Re-

' veille is like an opening rose bud. bios- jsoming out into new beauties,' andamongst the new numbers to be pre-sented for the first time will be"Masquerader,"in which Mr Lints fea-tures on an electric table on fast ball-bearing skates, introducing the waltzclog and ragtime. The dialogue istaken by Miss Beeban MaeDonald. Misr>C. Reillv will be assisted by a specialhoop skirt chorus in "Orange BlossomTimV-in Loveland." Amongst the bal-lets will be the "Spanish and Snow."One of the most "nippy" numbers in: the Reveille is "Swanee." Mrs Watsonwill take the solo in "Japanese Sand-man." This is a dainty number. TheCalisthenic Eight, with musical bells, issure to be as big a favourito as thestatuary has been. Mrs Wylds will taketwo new numbers, and Miss DellThompson will also dance a to©specialty. Mr Lints' ambidexterousnovelties will lend variety to the pro-gramme, and a special number intro-ducing the famous caterpillar sten, willsee eighteen Red Cross nurses at play,and Miss MaeDonald is a scream in "AScene Shifter's Version of Hamlet."The box plan opens at Everybody'sSweet Shop next Wednesday morning

Froma scrum at the twenty-five the ball waspassed out to Rangi Ruru, who crossedthe line. He also converted the try.T. Rei, who played a splendid' game,was also successful in kicking a penaltygoal for the visiting team. Some veryfine play was shown by W. Jacob andJoe Tula. Ruru, at full-back, playedthe game of the day. For the hometeam Rangi Ruru scored three tries,and J. Adaoison and Heeka one each.The game was a fine display of foot-ball. The Waimate and Okaiawa com-bined teams showed better combinationthan their opponents. Mr. J. Christiegave every satisfaction as referee.
