"T called on him to stop," said wit-ness, "but ho ran instead, and 1chased him. Running up Pitt streethe climbed over a picket fence, whereI followed and secured him.. In answerto my enquiries as to his movements,he gave most unsatisfactory replies.I searched him and found a jemmyand a torch, whereupon I placed him un-der arrest. On the way down to the policestation he asked me how much it was

worth to let him go. When he wasexamined at the station, £/0 10swas found in a money belt beneath hissinglet. There were also two spanners,a bag of skeleton keys, a shanghai andlead pellets, a quantity of geligniteand putty, and a flask of whisky."

Detective Knight said accused'sroom was searched and a suit ofclothes and an overcoat were found,together with gelignite, and a largescrew wrench. Trousers with secretpockets were also found, together with28s in pennies and 7s lid in half-pennies.

"The shanghai and pellets were usedfor breaking windows alongside alock," said Chief-Detective Hammond."'A black sock found in Slade's posses-sion was for wiping away finger prints,the putty was used when blowing asafe and the big screw WTencb was fortearing padlocks off."

Detective Knight said accused hadstated that he had been three yearsin Auckland, coming originally fromAustralia and South Africa.

Slade pleaded guilty to all thecharges and was committed to the Su-preme Court for sentence.

"But, alas, the other day he had! abad lapse. Nearly cost him of nts

best clients, too.

"He had been overworking and baalost a good deal of sleep. It made himirritable and snappy, and he quite losthis temper.

"But he's all right again now."It seems the client understood tha#

Contractors Who Co-operated In The ConstructionOf The Building

s

The Modern Premises of Todd Motors Ltd.Situated at the intersection of Victoria, Peterborough, and

Durham streets, and covering a floor space of 34,000 square feet,the new premises of Todd Motors, Ltd., occupy the whole ofthe block that was recently the site of the timber yards ownedby Wm. Goss, Ltd.

The building has been designed and constructed on the mostmodern lines possible, with an 18-foot drive running rightthrough the building, allowing ample space for two cars topass each other when necessary. The main entrance of thedrive-way is from Durham street through to Peterborough streetor vice versa, taking the motorist past the main office and theRepair Manager's Office. The Workshops, which cover an areaof 5880 square feet, are the most up-to-date in this City, withan electric crane that is capable of lifting a 4£ ton weight.This is fitted with runways that cover many thousand feet;the hydraulic hoists that lift the cars from the ground havecompletely eliminated the use of the unsightly and dangerouspits, thus enabling the motorist to see the repairs when com-pleted of any part of the underworks of his car.

An elaborate Showroom occupies the whole of the Victoriastreet frontage and has three entrances. The 12,000 feet ofspace devoted to this purpose enables the Company to display45 cars both day and night, the interior being equipped withnumerous 1000 candle-power flood lights. The cars on viewcan be seen with equal advantage from the drive-way of thebuilding and from the street, also from the firm's petrol servicestation, which is situated at the north end of the building.

Many well-known business firms assisted the builder, MrW. Williamson, with sub-contracts in speciality lines, in erect-ing this City landmark. Hatherley Bros, were responsible forthe plastering work throughout, the excellent work this firm

has done giving a most finished appearance to the building.The specially designed skylights were prepared and installedby Vale and Co., and are dust proof as well as weather proof.The construction of the roof has enabled the Tngyinnim amountof natural light to invest the interior through these skylights.The whole of the electrical lighting installation was achievedby H. C. Urlwin, Ltd., and huge flood lights both inside andout give the building a most brilliant appearance. In theworkshops, the powerful three-motor crane and runways wereerected by W. McFadden and Son, Constructional Engineersfor P. F. Mann, Ltd., who are the Canterbury agents for allHerbert Morris, Ltd., equipments. Ayling and King wereresponsible for all the plumbing work throughout the building,a task that was accomplished with their usual efficient andcompetent despatch, also for the installation of the "Beeston"heating system, Boilers and Radiators, which were suppliedby Messrs A. and T. Burt, Ltd., who are the Sole New ZealandAgents for these goods.

One of the principal features of the building is the uniquelighting facilities, approximately 3000 feet of polished plateglass having been used for the Showrooms, etc. Seven thousandfeet of ribbed plate glass were used for the roof, while beauti-fully bevelled plate panels, surmounted by leaded lights above,adorn the doors of the main entrances.

All the glazing of this building was carried out by AndrewLees, Ltd., in their usual efficient and tradesmanlike manner,and is one of the largest glazing jobs in this City.

MOTORING

NOTES

••Koadster"' Invites articles and ;paragraphs 0/ interest to motorists forthis page.

No doubt there will be tin- usual crop■ii offending motorists caught breaking<>\-laws during National "Week, whichronimences to-morrow. It is not knownwhether City Traffic Inspectors will con-duct a raid in order to ascertain howmany motorists are without driving licruses, but it is quite probable thatsuch will take place.

The South Canterbury Automobile As-sociation has requested that the annual

j meeting of the South Island MotorUnion be held at Tiniaru. As the rneet-

-1 i.ng has been fixed for September 27th| in Christehurch, together with the au-j nual meeting of the South Island MotorUnion Mutual Insurance Association, it

I has, according to the secretary of theAssociation (Mr P. K. Harman). beenfound impracticable to accede to therequest.

A man was engaged yesterday inpainting white lines from Ihts Pressoffice corner, Worcester street, to the(iovernment building opposite, and lromthe same corner to the back of theCathedral. The work was being carriedout in accordance with the recommen-dation of the By-laws Committee of theCity Council, that "white lines bepainted at crossing places with a viewto drawing attention to pedestrians asto where thev should cross the streets."

"Roadster'' has received a copy ofthe Xew Zealand Motorists' Guide(South Island) for 1930. The publica-tion contains a series of maps and routediagrams, as well as a description ofthe roads throughout the Island, andmany other informative features.

Occasionally windows and windowlifts of the closed car become stiff inoperation. This may be the result ofdamp which has caused the felt inwhich the window edges slide, to swelland thus jam the window. The troublemay sometimes be cured by inserting alittle soft soap or grease in the slotof the runner-felt.

Kave Don, one of Britain 's most fear-less and skilled motor drivers, who willpilot the secret Hush Hush No. 2 car,in defence of Sir Henry Segrave'sspeed record of 231.36 m.p.h., figured inan unusual incident at JBrooklands earlythis month. Driving his Sunbeam car.Don beat the world's record for a mile,with a standing start. During the efforta swallow struck his mechanic in theface. The bird was killed by the im-pact, but the mechanic was not seriouslyhurt.

Additional protection for passengersin automobiles in Japan is provided bya recent statute requiring that ail nioto.cars must be equipped with dome lights.These dome lights must be brilliantlyilluminated when motorists drive afterdark, otherwise the automobiles will beconfiscated on sight by the police.

"I am sure that future travel willbe by road," declared Sir Henry Se-grave, holder of the world's speed recordof 231.136 m.p.h., on arriving fromBarcelona (Spain), where the GoldenArrow, his famous car, was exhibited.He covered the 736 miles to Paris in16 hours, says the Paris correspondentof the "Daily Mail," whereas the Bar-celona-Paris

"

express takes 22} hours./Sir Henry had two punctures en route,and also made three stops for petrol,and two for meals. He used 86 gallonsof petrol, and said that he frequentlyexceeded 100 miles an hour.

Mr Edsel Ford, the only son of MrHenry Ford, cut the first sod on thelonely flats at Dagenham, near Tilbury,on the site of the gigantic motor fac-tory whieh will supply Europe, AsiaMinor, and parts of Africa with the newFord car.

London's taxicab drivers have founda new method of increasing their busi-ness. Many of them are using theircabs to take overseas visitors "roundthe sights." The driver, with his wideknowledge of the city, makes an excel-lt nt guide. The new service par-ticularly popular with United Statesvisitors.

The old white fence which lias oftenwrought havoc with a machine thatbumped into it and caused deaths due tofragments of wood inflicting wounds onaccident victims, is doomed on Statehighways of Connecticut, U.S. Thefence of the future, the State High-way Department believes, will be cablestrung between uprights with resiliencyenough to throw back the colliding car.Some cables placed at dangerous turnshave resisted impacts as high as 35tons.

One hundred and seven countries usemotor-cars, and seven manufacture them.

TO THE RACES.

QUICKER ROUTE FROM .NORTH.

Motorists coming into Christchurchi'rorn the north will no doubt appre-ciate the action of the CanterburyAutomobile Association in defining ashorter route to the Riccarton racesthan that which takes them throughthe City.

Instead of having to come right intotown, motorists will be able to turn offat John's road, at its intersection withthe North road, Belfast, proceed intoHussley road, and carry on until theYaldhurst road is reached, arriving atthe west end of the racecourse. Inorder that they may be certain thatthey are on the correct route, this willbe indicated by red bands.

Not only will the route save a dis-tance of about four miles, accordingto the secretary of the Association (MrJ. S. Hawkes), but it will ease the con-gestion which always occurs on theUiccarton road on race days.

BY "ROADSTER."

TODD MOTORcompany.

\ sijiirt history of tiie 1 '"id MotorCommi nv might well bo given at this

opportunity—the eve of the opening of

one of the finest motor establishments

hi Australia and New Zealand.Just as recently as 1912, the begin-

nings of the Company took the form ofa small tin shed in the country town ofHeriot, in Otago, as a sideline to thestock and station business run thereL.V Messrs Todd Brothers, Limited. Thisshed could accommodate 8 ears at themost, and from this establishment 3 or

-A cars a vear was the modest turn-over.

From that time on. everyone knowsthe Tovvth of motor transportation andits development throughout the world.The firm of Todd Brothers, Limited,kept pace with this motor era, but onlyin a smaller way, in Otago and South-land, and it was not until 1920 thatthe Todd Motor Company began to beactive in the distribution and serviceof motor vehicles in the whole ot theDominion.

Steadily from 15»21, this Company hasexpanded iu establishment. In 19ij,motor garages were opened in Dunedin,Gore, and Invercargill. In 1923, Toddbrothers, Limit-id, t'isposed of their.•tick and station interests to Messrs.Dalgetv and Co., and during thid yearalso, motor premises were purchased iuT.ristchurcli (in Glouei ?ter street.

From that time on, further expansioncontinued; first to Wellington, where theHead Office is now located, then to Ti-maru, Auckland, and Wanganui, andat these cities the Company's estab-lishments are of the finest in size, ap-pointment, and location. The Wellington premises, for instance, cover anarea of acres, that is, double the areaof the new Christchureh premises; andat Auckland, the area covered there,is nearly 1 acre.

So the contrast between the begin-ning of the business and the presentstate is striking. From the modest tinshed and the sale of 4 cars a year,the Company has developed to the ex-tent of floor space of 275,000 squarefeet, and a turnover of, approximately,one million pounds sterling per annum,and approximately 860 men are actuallyengaged in the lines of cars which aredistributed by the Company.

This growth is truly remarkable.Aside from the reference to the ToddMotor Company's growth, it is an indication also, of the era of motor transport generally, and of its swift and certain rise into the daily lives and ac-tivities of every class of the community, here, and elsewhere, in the world.

Motor transportation twenty years agowas regarded with doubt and cynicism,and as the rich man's toy—to-day, itis inseparable from the lives of every-one in the community.

The Todd Motor Company deservescongratulations for making such a con-tribution towards better publicin the form of all these motor transportfacilities. ®

WITHOUT LICENSES.

MANY DRIVERS CAUGHT ONSUNDAY.

The raid carried out on Sunday byCity traffic inspectors was in everyway a successful one so far as the au-thorities are concerned. Inspectorsv.ere stationed in Colombo streetboutb, Ferry road, and the North road,nnd as motorists approached they werehalted and asked to produce their driv-ing licenses. No fewer than 172 wereuliable to do so, some having left themat home, while others were found tohave failed to equip themselves withthe necessary tickets.

Those who (.ossessed licenses but badomitted to carry them were allowed toproduce them later at the office of theCity Traffic Department, and 35 weretound not to have worried themselvesn: the direction of renewing them forthe current year. Of the latter manypossessed "flat" licenses, which, ofcourse, are no longer valid, but othersns;ain had never applied for a testThose whose licenses had not been re-newed or who had not gone forwardfor a test will be served with sum-monses to appear before a Magistrate•Hid expisin their remissness in thisrespect.

The Chief Traffic Inspector (Mr H.Mcintosh) told "Roadster" yesterdaythat since the raid there had been asteadv stream of applicants for licensesfor the ensuing year, the applicantshaving evidently decided that it wastoo risky to continue driving withoutthem.

MUTUAL INSURANCE.

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

Another successful twelve months ofbusiness has been done by tlie SouthIsland Motor Union Mutual InsuranceAssociation, which completed the thirdyear of its existence on June 30thlast.

The total net premium income afterallowing for refunds and reinsurancecommission is £.16,439. After paymentof all losses and allowing for a reserveof £9OOO for unexpired risks and meet-ing all expenses, there is a surplus of£5200. It has been decided in view ofthe very satisfactory results of theyear's working, to give policy holdersa rebate bonus of 5 percent. on all premiums paidsince the inception of the scheme,and in addition to allow 15 per cent, de-duction from premiums carrying noclaims over the preceding twelvemonths.

As showing liow the business of theAssociation has grown, at the end ofthe first year's working the total fundsamounted to £4000; at the end of thesecond year they were £9OOO, and atthe end of the third year £20,000.

CYCLISTS' MEMORIAL.

CEREMONY IN ENGLAND.

Nearly 10,000 cyclists. many ofwhom had ridden throughout the nightfrom tho north and south extremes ofEngland and Wales, gathered on a re-cent Sunday before the National Cyc-lists' memorial on the village greenat Meriden, Wanvickshire, sup[josedto be the exact middle of England.

This memorial was erected sa-renyears ago to commemorate cyclistskilled in the war.

Nearly n tHrd of the riders weregirls, and most of them wore cyclingbreeches.

TOLL OF THEMOTOR.

j ACCIDENTS IN U.S.A.!

j big fatality list.I

There were SOO,OOO automobile acci-dents in the Lnited States last year;27.000 persons were killed, and the lossinvolved was 850,u00,00u dollars, ac-cording to figures of the NationalSafetv Council. Fatalities were 5 percent, greater than in 1927.

Congestion caused by traffic in thenrtor-choked streets of towns andcities, most of which were planned forbuildings not over six storeys high andf horses and buggies, is estimated tocost New York City 540,000.000 dollarsa vear, St. Louis 16,000,000 dollars, andDetroit more than 30,000,000 dollars,savs "Popular Mechanics Magazine."

What can be done about it? In thefirst place, a nation-wide movement ison to establish a uniform system oftraffic signs, signals, and markings.One reason for such a step is that, lastyear alone, 2000 persons were killed be-c: se they became confused by signswith which they were unfamiliar. Theincrease in inter-State travel by autoc nands a uniform set of guides, theexperts declare.

In the second place, there is, accord-ing to Mr J. 8. Baker, of the NationalSafety Council, the human element."It is not the breakdown of the auto-mobile that is causing accidents," hesays, "it is the breakdown of thedriver." The breakdown has also beentraced to the pedestrian, for inthousands of cases he and not themotorist is to blame for the mishap.Consequently, some cities are passingstrict regulations against "jay walk-ing," pedestrians are being routed indefinite traffic lanes while on the side-walks, in order that there may be lessconfusion there and less danger incrossing the streets, and a nation-widedrive is being conducted among schoolchildren to teach them care andthoughtfulness in order that accidentsi ay be avoided.

Already results of these movementsare on record. Washington, D.C., witha population of nearly 600,000 wentthrough last December without a singlemotor fatality. Detroit suffered 74fewer automobile deaths in 1928 thanin although the population in-creased by 45,000 and the number ofautomobiles by 90,000. The year wasmarked by a 20 per cent, decrease inautomobile fatalities.

The effects of the Detroit educa-tional campaign were particularlynoticeable among the school children.In the first nine months of last yearfatalities among children between theages of five and fourteen were nearly34 per cent, less than in the sameperiod in 1927. Old persons showed asimilar good record. Fatal accidents byautomobiles to those over 55 years oldwere reduced more than 27 per cent.The smallest improvement was noticedin the group from 16 to 54 years of age,the span of grea' activity and, often,of greatest carelessness. The reductionwas less than 8 per cent, in this lastdivision. More than half of the acci-dents in the entire city involved per-sons between the ages of 25 and 54,although that group comprise- consider-c >ly less than half of the population.

MOTOR-CYCLING.

ADVICE TO NOVICES.

HOW TO AVOID MISTAKES,

A novice at motor-cycling will makemistakes; he would be a most uncom-mon type of novice if he did not.Therefore, let the novice take heart,and be not ashamed at his errors. Intime of course, he will look back andlaugfj at himself and wonder how hecould possibly have made such unbe-lievable mistakes. Experience will comequickly-more quickly to some than toothers, of course; and, perhaps, to avery, verv few, not at all. But thesefew arc tne strange ones who lack thatwidespread gift, common sense.

Common sense will show the way toeverything; point the way out of everydifficulty; overcome every obstacle.Therefore, novices, make use of yourcommon sense. Just to show you theway, here are some "do's" and••don'ts," 6very one of them dictatedby common sense:

Don't forget to use your gear box;it is there to help you on hills, atcorners, and in traffic.

Don't forget to free the clutch mo-mentarily when changing gear.Throttle down slightly when changingup. but leave the throttle open whenchanging down.

.

li you have acetylene lighting, pinchout the before filling up withpetrol.

Watch your tyre pressures. Whensoft, tyres wear rapidly at the sides;when too hard, they transmit roadshocks.

Don't run out of petrol —that ishumiliating; or out of oil—that may beexpensive.

Don't take a pillion passenger untilyou have gained confidence; and whenyou do, see that he or she is providedwith a firm cushion or proper seat,and with footrests.

When you first try to drive a side-car outfit, don't try to balance it. Ithr..s only to be steered, using thehandlebars like a tiller.

When approaching a left-hand cornerwith a sidecar, slow down slightly andthen accelerate gradually as you roundthe corner, so that the machine "runsround" the sidecar: approach a right-hand corner faster, and throttle downor brake as you round it, thus allow-ing the sidecar to "run round" themachine.

If your sidecar "comes up," don'tget frightened. Steer to the right, orquickly open the throttle, and it willreturn to earth. It is a good planto practise, on a deserted road, delib-erately putting the sidecar into theair; it will give you much greater con-fidence in the handling of your outfit.

Don't remove both hands from thehandlebars unnecessarily.

If the engine knocks on a hill whichis not severe enough to call for achange down, retard the ignitionslightly; also try cutting down theair supply.

When starting the engine, cut downthe air if the engine is cold. Retardthe ignition if the engine is inclinedto "kick back."

A spluttering stop often means car-buretter trouble; a misfiring or suddenand complete stop often points to ig-nition trouble.

The commonest carburetter troublesare choked feed pioes or jets; thecommonest ignition troubles, sootedplugs, leaking high tension wires, ora stuck rocker arm on the contactbreaker.

Treat a new engine kindly; "gentlydoes it" for the first few hundred miles.

Don't blind over crossroads.Don't cut corners.Treat pedestrians with respect.Don't 'rev" your engine or make

unnecessary noise, especially at nightor in the vicinity of hospitals.

Slow down if you see another manin trouble, even if you are no handat repairs—he may only want to bor-row an inflator.

Don't apply your brakes suddenly ona greasy road.

Corner cautiously on grease.Cross tram lines, wet or dry, at a.

fairly wide angle.I If vou fall foul of the law, remem-Ibcr that politeness pays.

Underinflation CausedThis Tyre toWear OutLong Before Its Time

Modern tyres are so well madethat, If kept properly inflated, theygive good service until their treadsare worn threadbare.

The greatest enemy toTyre life is underinflation

Eighty per cent of all tyre failureshave been traced to improper infla-tion alone. Premature tread wear .. »

fabric ruptures ... rim cuts ... side-wall breaks . . .

typify the costly re-sults. Thus the added mileage sciencebuilds Into tyres today is beinglargelywasted. Tyre expense has been in-creased far beyond actual need.

Costly Tyre troubleeasily avoided

Have your car or tyre dealer tellyou the cprrect air pressure for yourtyres. Then buy a Schrader TyreGauge, for balloon or high pressuretyres, as you require. The SchraderGauge is sturdy, dependable, easy touse, easy toread. Use it at least oncea week and before long trips to checkthe actual air pressure in your tyres.Always keep your Schrader Gaugein your motor car.

Long life to your Tyres!Now you can join the thousands

of experienced motorists who keeptheir tyres correctly inflated, and getevery last mile of service from them.

A DIGESTION ONE ENVIES.

STOMACH TROUBLES DISPERSED.Are you jnst an onlooker at the meal

table—one of those people who refusegood, wholesome food because of indigestionl If yon are afraid to eat, infear of stomach agony, you are notgiving your system the nourishment itneeds. The result must be a generalweakening of the digestive organs,which will be in greater difficulty todigest any food you eat.

There is no short eut to a, good digestion. 'to disperse the trouble properly,you must give eommonsense attentionto your diet, eating habits, andstrengthen your digestive organs fcybuilding up your blood.

It is wonderful what great help agood biood-builder like Dr. Williams'sPink Pills will give the digestion. Forenriching and renewing the blood thesepills are famous, and have givex diges-tions to be envied to manyof people who once were sufferers fromdyspepsia. Flatulence, heartburn,pains, acidity completely vanishtreatment with Dr. Williams's PinitPills.

You must give Dr. Williams's PinkPills a reasonable trial; your improvedappetite and digestion will be the re-ward. Of chemists and storekeepers,3a bottle—nothing else will do.

Barlass (Mr Quigley), the sum of Jta4as commission earned by planitiff in thesale of defendant's property in a suburblast Ma>, authority to act as agent havingprevious.y been giveu in writing by defendant to the plaintiff.

After lengthy argument, judgment, withcosts, was given for plaintiff.

James George Andrews claimed from W.H. Hills the sum of £2 15s, and possessionof a tenement.

Plaintiff was non-suited, and costs wereallowed to the defendant.

AN UNUSUAL CASE.Victor David, agent, of Christchurch (Mr

Sargent), claimed from Joseph Black, of146 Kiimore street, club proprietor (MrThomas), the sum of £IOO, which was theamount ol a cheque drawn by deiendant onthe Bank of New Zeaiand at Christchurch.payable to plaintiff or order, and dishon-oured on presentation; and also the furtherturn of 16s as interest at the rate of 8 percent, per annum down to the date of judg-ment.

Tnore had been a notice of motion to havethe statement of claim crossed out, on ac-count of the ihegal nature oi thu transac-tion, but when the application first camebefore he Magistrate it had been decidedthat the case could not be heard in Chambers, and that it was necessary for it tobe heard in open Court.

Counsel for the defendant stated at theoutset of the case that as soon as anyillegality became apparent to the Court itw*i the duty of the Court to strike the caseout, as an abuse of tho Court uader theOaming Act. Mr Thomas gave details ofthe game which had been played, and allegedthat the dice used had afterwards beenfound to have their edges smoothed, andto be loaded with aluminium spots.

Mr Sargent intervened at this point, sayins that Mr Thomas's words were a gratuitous insult to his client. After a livelypassage for a few moments, Mr Thomas &aidthat there was no question as to tho bonafides of the defendant, who had paid out £7-1in cash. Defendant had lost £174 in agame of hazards, during which the dicewere alleged to ha%r o been changed. Hepaid the £74 in ca«h, and gave a post-datedcheque for the remainder.

When he heard of the changing of thedice, defendant stopped payment on thecheque. Mr Thomas suggested that thecase might be struck out forthwith.

The Magistrate, however, decided that theease could not yet be struck out. owing tothe plaintiff not having admitted the allegations.

Defendant had been subpoenaed, and wasnow called as witness for the plaintifT.When defendant was asked by Mr Sargentfor details of the game, and where it hadbeen played, it became clear witnessmight incriminate himself by answering suchquestions. Privilege was therefore claimedand allowed. Further on, in his evidencewitness admitted that the dice had beenloaded.

Mr Sargent then applied for a non suitJudgment for defendant was claimed b?

Mr Thomas, saying that; when counsel foundthat the case was going against him h«>should not apply for a non-suit.

The Magistrate -aid that plaintiff couldclaim a non suit right up to the fim» o1judgment. ,

The plaintiff was non-tuited, costs bemzallowed to defendant.(Before Messrs H. F. Herbert and F. H.

Christian, J.P.'s.)D Swanston claimed from A. Driscoll the

sum of £7 4s for work done. Plaintiff wasnon suited with costs to the defendant.

Friday, August 9, 1929.Urban Transport.

It is a pity that the Bulletins preparedby the Economics Department of Can-terbury College for the CanterburyChamber of Commerce should occa-sionally run to such length that itrequires some hardihood to read themthrough. The purpose of these Bul-letins is surely to give the averageman who pays rates and taxes sounderideas on public questions than he wouldhave if left to himself, and this pur-pose can only be achieved if averagemen rend the Bulletins and understandthem. It is not always possible tosay all that requires to be said on apublic question in a clear, brief, andinteresting way. It should, however,be possible to put as much as theaverage man is able to understand intoas few words as he is likely to read,and that would often mean cuttingthese Bulletins in halves. The pro-nouncement which we print to-day onnrban transport is a particularly badexample of diffusencss, for the subjectis of great public importance, and itwill rob these Bulletins of more thanhalf their usefulness if they begin tobe productions which only specialistswill read. Everybody in Christ-church is interested in the problem oftrams and buses, and it is a great pitythat the compilers of the Bulletin didnot produce something that everybodywould read. They have producedsomething that everybody ought toread, but that of course is not suffi-cient. It would not be sufficient ifexperts were always right, which un-fortunately is not the case, and evenwhen they are right they have still toget their ideas accepted.

However, in this particular case theexperts themselves are not quite surewhat to say or how far to go. Theyare sure that trams are better thanbuses in densely populated areas, an-1less effective in the outlying areas,where they cannot be kept working tocapacity all the time. It is emphasisedalso, justly and wisely, that some de-gree of regulation is necessary, of allforms of transport, to protect thepublic from danger and loss, but thecompilers of this Bulletin do not know,or in any case do not say, how farregulation may safely go. They in-deed say some things which mostpeople will regard as fundamentallyunsound—for example, that it may bebetter to keep on running a servicewhich is losing money, and which willlose more and more money, rather thanto abandon it at once and convertwhatever is convertible in it to otheruses. There are tram services inChristehurch which will never be any-thing but a drag on the whole system,and it is difficult to imagine whateconomic reason there may be for con-tinuing to run them. Political reasonsars of course a different matter, butthe Chamber of Commerce does notconcern Itself with politics, and it isa little disappointing that this funda-mental issue should have been left pre-cisely where it was. It is something,Indeed a great deal, that the cloudyand quite absurd ideas which manypeople have on urban transport shouldhavs been clarified—to the point atleast of having the main facts plainlyseen and recognised. But there isgreat need of a firm, clear, and simplepronouncement on the questions ofregulation and uneconomic services,and it is to be hoped that this willfollow.

Water-Supply Rates.We were glad yesterday to print thestatement prepared by the Town Clerkand issued by the Mayor regarding theapportionment of the cost of providingthe additional headworks required tosupply high-pressure water to the newreticulations in the suburban areas.Since the issue was raised by ThePress when the problem first presenteditself practically no information wassupplied by the Council as to what itwas doing, and the position in thatrespect is now a little better. Wewould have been much better pleased,however, if it had been possible to findin the statement issued an adequatereply to our observations. What thestatement really amounts to is this,that the annual cost, after the moneyhas been raised, is apportioned betweenthe different districts according to aplan of distribution not stated butpresumably based on valuation. It isan ordinary and necessary procedureto adjust the financial obligations asbetween the different districts, and thiswould still have been required nomatter how the money was raised forthe extensions. Our criticism wasnever directed against this phase of thequestion. What we complained of, anddo still complain of, were the conse-quenees following upon the methodadopted for raising the capital requiredto enlarge the water-supply headworks.It must be remembered that the originalproposal was to raise a loan over thewhole water-supply district, comprisingthe original area which was bearing theburdens of its own system, includingthe existing headworks, and the newsuburban areas which had raised theirown local loans to cover the cost of thelocal reticulations. That headworksloan was twice submitted to the rate-payers and twice rejected on theground that it would place an unfairadditionaJ burden upon the originalarea which, by virtue of the operationof the levy system according to valu-ations, would be called upon to providean ondue share of the eost of worksrequired for other district®. The prob-

lem then was how to find the capitalfor building the extended headworks.The City Solicitor suggested that aseries of local loans should be raised,but that suggestion was not adopted,and the Council proceeded to raise themoney from revenue by large annualvotes which necessitated very substan-tial increases in the annual water ratelevied according to valuations. Inother words the Council adopted thevery plan that the ratepayers twicerejected, the object of course being tomake the most of the high valuationsin the central area to relieve the burdenon the low-valuation suburban areas.We have in fact official authority forsaying that the adjustments mentionedin the Town Clerk's statement will havethe effect of placing the water-supplydistrict in the position in which itwould have been had the headworksloan been carried. It is clear, there-fore, that the Mayor's complaint thatour criticism Avas misleading has nojustification. We do not deny thatthe Council is doing all it possibly canto ease the situation so far as thecentral district is concerned, but itspowers regarding differential ratingare strictly limited by law. So long,therefore, as capital expenditure forheadworks extensions is supplied fromwater-rate revenue, and so long as theapportionments are based on valua-tions, so long must the central areacontinue to bear what we claim is anunfair burden.

The Darwin Medal.The presentation of the Darwin Medalto Dr. L. Cockayne at Canterbury

I College on Wednesday night was anI event of national importance. Theaward of the Medal, as was shown bythe various speakers on the occasion,is a very great distinction—one of thegreatest which the scientific world canconfer upon a scientific worker. Thatit has now been given, for the firsttime, to a man who has done the wholeof his work in New Zealand is in itselfa great matter of congratulation to thewhole Dominion, and it is particularlyso to the comparatively small band oftoilers in pure Science in this countrywho cannot, in the nature of things,look for very great rewards and dis-tinctions in their own land. Dr.Cockayne, in his very moving and elo-quent reply to the speeches of con-gratulation, expressed the hope thathis work may be carried on and com-pleted by some person born in NewZealand. This hope will be shared byall who are interested in the intellectualand spiritual progress of this com-munity, and no Greater encouragementcould be given to any such worker thanthis recognition, from the headquartersof scientific research, of the value andimportance of the work of Dr.Cockayne. Further, the work itselfwhich has earned Dr. Cockayne thisdistinction is of the very greatest valueto the country. It has drawn theattention of the scientific world to theextraordinary interest of the Flora ofNew Zealand and will certainly attracthere those who are best qualified tostudy it and to bring the results oftheir work before the scientists of thewhole world; it has already shed a newlight upon those problems of evolutionwhich have intrigued biological studentsduring the last two or three genera-tions; and it has, incidentally, a pro-found bearing upon those other prob-lems—economic, agricultural, and silvi-cultural —which are of the greatestimmediate interest to New Zealand.When we congratulate Dr. Cockayneon his well-earned reward we are con-gratulating his adopted country onhaving provided the field for his epoch-making researches, and the devoted fewwho have been associated with him inhis work. We are sure that this eventwill give a new impetus to scientificresearch in general in New Zealandand trust that, by setting the stamp ofpublic approval upon his achievements,it will serve in the future as an inspi-ration and a guiding light to the risinggeneration of scientific workers amongus. Finally, we have Dr. Cockayne's jarresting statement that, behind jall those phenomena of the plant-world which he has done somuch to explain and elucidate,he could perceive, as the only possibleefficient cause, the hand of God. In anage which is supposed to have lostfaith in everything that the last agebelieved, it is interesting to find ourforemost man of science in his ownfield pointing to the Divine idea orpurpose lying behind and beyond thematerial upon which he has workedwith such wonderful success.

Ratepayers in the Cashmere ridingof the Heathcote County Council arein the happy position of having hadtheir rates reduced this year as theresult of an adjustment of the specialrates for interest on loans. This hasbeen made possible by the big increasein buildings in the riding during theoast two years, thus increasing therateable value of the district. In thecase of some ratepayers the reductionhas ranged from 30s to 40s.

"There seems to be an impressionthat when we go into our new pre-mises in Queen street we shall be enter-ing upon general trading," said thechairman of the Auckland ElectricPower Board, Mr W. J. Holdsworth, atthe last meeting of the Board. "Weare making a profit now, so let us keepclear of general trading," remarked MrPotter. It was suggested by Mr H.Goldie that the impression that theBoard would be creating a trading de-partment might have arisen from thefact that it would be letting offices inits new building. The consensus ofopinion among members- was that theBoard was following a wise course inrefraining from trading in general elec-trical requisites.

Cook was killed in the Sandwich Islands,the tortoise was taken to Tonga, andthe King of Tonga, as a sign of respect,conferred the title of "chief" on him.Ever Bince then he has been recognisedas an official "chief," and he now lives

REFORM PARTY.ENTHUSIASTIC CON-

FERENCE.

SUPPORT FOR MR COATES.

(PRESS ASSOCIATION TSLEGRAM.)

WELLINGTON, August 8.It is officially reported that the Be-

form League conference, which wasopened on Wednesday and continuedwith enthusiasm (some 200 delegatesfrom all parts of the Dominion takingpart), closed to-night.

Mr Coates outlined the country'sgreat prosperity anu progress under theReform Government. He quoted sta-tistics in support. It was an incentiveto the Reform members of Parliamentto know they had the support of the bigbody of electors throughout the coun-try. One of the objects of the confer-ence was to see that all the Reformcandidates were successful in theircampaigns. Candidates would un-doubtedly be encouraged by such adefinite approval of the Party's policy.With the history of their Party behindthem, Mr Coates said, Reformers had noreason to fear that the return of theParty would be long delayed. Theplanks of the Reform platform re-mained fast, namely, State beforeParty, and the greatest good for thegreatest number.

Helpful addresses were given through-out the conference, and valuable sug-gestions were' made. Enthusiasticaffirmations of loyalty to the Party andits policy were made.

A resolution was enthusiasticallycarried of loyalty, support, and confi-dence in Mr Coates as leader of theReform Party, the conference pledgingitself to use its best endeavours to seehim again returned to office as PrimeMinister of New Zealand.

Heartiest congratulations were ten-dered to the Dominion secretary, Mr E.A. James, for his invaluable servicesand the enthusiasm he has ever dis-played in the Reform cause, which hasbeen an inspiration to all those asso-ciated with him in the Party.

Mr A. M. Samuel, M.P., referring torumours of the formation of new politi-cal parties, said that in his opinion, andin the opinion of all other members ofthe Eeform Party, there was only oneman capable of leading New Zealand.That man was their present leader, MrCoates, who had the unswerving loyaltyand support of all members of theParty, who recognised his qualities »ofleadership, which were so essential tothe Dominion at the present time.

FRESH WATER FISH.

AUCKLAND SOCIETY SUPPORTSRESEARCH.

[THE PRESS Bpecial Service.]

AUCKLAND, August 8.A decision to give assistance to the

research work now being carried outregarding fresh water fish was madeto-night by the Council of the Auck-land Acclimatisation Society.

A letter was received from Mr L. O.H. Tripp, president of the New ZealandAcclimatisation Societies' Association,stating that the Wellington Acclimati-sation Society established in 1927 a fel-lowship for fresh water fish research.The North Canterbury AcclimatisationSociety had arranged for research workto be carried out in the same field. Bothworkers had done a great deal in theinvestigation of fish food and thesources of its supply. A beginning hadalso been made in ascertaining the rela-tive abundance of fish food organisms inwaters of given characteristics. Thefield was becoming revealed as enor-mously extensive, and it would be aconsiderable time before results couldbe expected of immediate importance infostering the numbers and welfare ofsporting fish in streams and otherwaters.

The letter continued: "It is felt thatother Societies would probably like tojoin in the investigations, and it mightbe possible to establish a joint fundsufficient to carry out research on alarger scale. It is suggested that a NewZealand Research Committee should beformed to review the progress and makerecommendations for future work. EachSociety would have its own researchsub-committee, which would give allpossible assistance in the furthering -jfresearch. A research laboratory couldbe established as soon as funds wereavailable.''

It was agreed that everv assistantin the way of advice and finance shouldbe granted. The matter was le& in thehands of the Council's delegates to theforthcoming annual conference of Ac-climatisation Societies in Wellington.

MORE EARTHQUAKES.

WESTPORT UNPERTURBED.

(PRSSS ASSOCIATION TELBGBAJt.)

WESTPORT, August 8.Westport experienced another good

earthquake at 9.22 to-night. Al-though the shock at 12.10 a.m. was aheavy and sustained one, it is surpris-ing how many people slept rightthrough it. Evidently earthquakeshave lost their terrors even thoughthey come in the night. Westport's14-inch water mam, which wascrunched and torn badly by the bigearthquake on June 17th, has beencompletely restored, the work includ-ing the laying of many new pipes. Asthe completion of this work gives thetown a supply and oressure of waterpossessed by few, if any other town®,and removes all danger of big fires,the people breathe freely again. For-tunately during the whole time whenthe water supply was cut off, and lateronly obtainable through eight-inchpipes, no fires occurred.

THE SQUARE.

MR MAWSON'S SCHEME.

SOME OBJECTIONS ANSWERED.

Th« conference regarding Cathedral

sauare will resume some day next week

on as a communication has been

received from the Cathedral Chapterregarding the representations made onWednesday by Mr J. W. Mawson,Director of Town Planning, and repre-senates of '?«

Tramway Board, and the Sav, theSauare Committee*

Mr Mawson told the Chapter that he

beUeved that his scheme was the idealone for solving the traffic problem in

Cathedral square and provided for bothUtility and beauty. In the event of

?he Chapter agreeing to surrender thewings of the Cathedral grounds it needE only temporarily, and they could berestored if the tramways were ever putright out of the scheme. As >o theo- iection that there would be verymuch more noise than at P™»ent if thetramway lay-out as suggested by MrMawson were adopted, mention wasmade of a plaster that can be obtainedthrough which sound could not beheard. This plaster is used m buildingsin London and Newcentres and could be added to the in

terior of the Cathedral without affect-ing the present design and ornamenta-tion. Also, the tramway rails could belaid on wooden sleepers. As to tneobjection that the scheme would causea slowing-up of traffic, it was statedthat in Trafalgar square, London, one-way traffic bad speeded up traffic.

The Chapter was invited to send threedelegates, if it so desired, to the nextmeeting of the Square Conference.

PAPANUI FIRE.

IN UNOCCUPIED HOUSE.

REAR PORTION GUTTED.

Only the prompt arrival on the sceneof engines from the Central andAlbans Fire Stations saved from de-struction a large wooden single-storeyhouse of ten rooms at 15 Beheveueavenue, Papanui, last evening.

Noticing flames and smoke pouringfrom the roof of the house, Mr Nor-man Bell, garage proprietor, gave thealarm, and by the time the fire brigadearrived the tiouse was burning stronglyin the back portion Two leaus of bos®were quickly brought to bear, butconsiderable difficulty was experiencedin suppressing the blaze owing to thelire working up into the roof and int°the woodwork of the plastered walls.The outbreak apparently originated inthe bathroom, but its cause is notknown. . , ,

''

Apart from the fact that the houseis unoccupied and has been so for somemonths, there was nothing to lead oneto believe it to have been wurullycaused. The house is for sale and thekeys are in the land agent s hands,but it is not known whether anyonehas visited the plaoe recently. Neigh-bours noticed nothing amiss prior tothe outbreak being seen. As faycan be ascertained, the doors and win-dows of the plaoe were intact, andthere wa» no indication that entrancehad been made to the building in anyillegitimate manner. There is a sepa-rate entrance to the bathroom from theoutside, but the door showed no sign

of having been tampered with.The building, which is owned by Mr

John Alexander Veitch, of Fendalton,is insured in the London, Liverpool,and Globe office for £I2OO, and thedetached washhouse for £SO in thesame office. Damage was confined tothe rear part of the house, four roomsbeing completely gutted.

Detectives were early on the sceneand made an examination.

his Budget proposals through Parlia-ment were expressed by Sir Joseph Wardto-day.''The legislation indicated in the Bud-

get is fairly far-reaching," he said."The proposals are apparently viewedwith some antagonism by sections ofthe community, but we have to expectthat when we l»ake anything of ft for-ward move which affects land or mort-gages. I expect that we will get ourproposals through Parliament all right."

LAND TAXATION.

(PBBSS ASSOCIATIOW TBLWWAK.)

WELLINGTON, August 8.

Resolutions adopted at tie recentmeeting of the New Zealand Leaguewere placed before the Prime Ministerto-day by a deputation headed by MrP. J. O'Began, national vice-president.

The main point urged by the deputa-tion was that there should b« a Hattax upon the unimproved value of landto make up the deficit.

The Prime Minister said that hewould give a written reply. He said

would give the matters raised hisclosest consideration. There were cer-tain matters that could not be put intooperation at present, and he was of theopinion that the League had quite alot in front of it before it could hopeto educate the public to think as itthought. I

S.I. MAIN TRUNK.

PRAISE FOR CANTERBURYPROGRESS LEAGUE.

(SrXCIAL *0 THS p&sss.)

BLENHEIM, August 8Speaking at the monthly meeting of

the Marlborough Progress League, Dr.W. E. Redman referred in glowingterms to the excellence of the Canter-bury Progress League's case for thecompletion of the South Island MainTrunk line. "Marlborough never hadsuch a fine boost," declared Dr. Red-man, who moved that the League'sthanks and appreciation be oonvoyedto the president (Mr J. E. Strachan)

Several speakers warmly supportedthe motion, which was duly carried.

"Mr Strachan gave us a wonderfulboost," said Mr R. F. Goulter, "andit was not only a boost for the railwaybut for Marlborough generally. If ithad come from us, people would havesaid we were blowing our own trumpet,but coming from a Canterbury manit carried more weight."

ft was also decided to write to the('anterior1* League congratulating itupon the fine organisation of the depu-tntion and the successful resultattained.

INLAND STOCK ROUTE.

MARLBOROUGH'S REQUEST TOMINISTER.

(arstm, to Tn inn.)

BLENHEIM, August 8.At the monthly meeting of the

Marlborough Progress League, a let-ter was received from the MarlboroughShipowners' Union enquiring theposition regarding the opening of theinland stock route to Canterbury. Theletter pointed out that, with tne rail-way work* proceeding on the SouthIsland Main Trunk line, the constantlyincreasing dangers and blockage totravelling-stock would be much accen-tuated on all sides.

"It is agreed that the past seasonwas the worst yet experienced for stock,droving on the Main South road," saidMr Fair weather. He had been re-?[uesfced by the Union to press stronglyor something definite, it was now a

year since a deputation had waited onthe former Government in reference totho matter, and the Minister for Pub.lie Works had recognised the principlethat travelling stock should be keptof the main roads as much as possible.There could be no doubt about theurgency of the matter. He moved:

"That the Minister for Public Worksbe approached regarding the establish-ment of an inland stock route to Can-terbury, the necessity for which is in-creased by reason of the fact that rail-way construction work will interferewith the Main South road."

The motion was carried.

SCENTED MUSK.

AUCKLAND CLAIMANTS FOR*IOOO OFFER.

[TUB FBBSB Ppeetel Oepric*.]

AUCKLAND, August 8.The statement published recently

that an English newspaper had offered£IOOO to anyone who could product *

plant with the genuine old musk scenthas already drawn a response in Auck-land. Eager to claim the £IOOO, over30 people have written to the Auck-land District Council of the New Zea-land Institute of Horticulture, claim-ing that they have produced such aplant, Ah the Institute has no actualinterest in the offer it is hardly its dutyto investigate these claims, but lettershave been sent to all the applicantsasking for samples of their plants inorder that tests may be earried out.It is possible that a plant with thegenuine musk scent may be discovered.

Musk is used extensively in the pre-paration of perfumes, but it has be-come very scarce recently, and peoplein England are anxious to secure plantsfor extensive cultivation. It is thisthat has prompted the generous offerwhich is drawing »uch a ready responsein Auckland.

I THE HAGUE. August J.At today's meeting of The ague

Conference on Reparations, t e e

gates of nearly aLI the other nations

replied to the speech made yesterdayby .Mr Philip Snowden, British Chan-

cellor of the ExchequerM. Cheron, French Finance Minis-

ter, denied that France would gain

bv ony sacrifice that Britain «ou >

called upon to make under the loung

Plan. „ ,

.

M. Cheron explained the French at-titude in respect to the distribution olReparations. He suggested that itmight be necessary to hold anotherconference of exi>erts to decide thequestion.

Dr. iStresemann announced that Ger-many whs disinterested in respect tothe distribution, which the Allies mustfix up themselves.

Tli«i resumption of the conference re-vealed a fairly accurate grouping otthe Powers.

*

Rumania, Greece, andJugo-Slavia sided with Britain in de-manding revision. France andvehemently insist that the Youngmust be accepted as an indivisiblewhole unless the experts are re-sum-moned, which will be dangerous.

Attitude Defined.The attitude of the British delega-

tion towards the Young Plan wasfurther explained in a statement inwhich the British objections were out-lined. It was pointed out thatwhile Britain accepts the Young Planas a basis for discussion it cannot ac-cept it entirely without modificationsmore favourable to Britain.

Britain is especially dissatisfied withthe alterations in the Spa Percentagesl>eing applied to all classes of pay-ments. Britain is equally dissatisfiedwith the provisions in the Young Flanthat payments in kind, which under theTreaty of Verealles should expire in1931, will, under the Young Plan, con-tinue on a decreasing basis for another10 years. Finally it was added thatopinion in British financial circles iscrystallising against the conception ofthe experts that the proposed Inter-national Bank should become a greatfinancial institution with a gold reservecontrolling, in a general way, the in-ternational flow of gold. The Britishview was that the bank's powers shouldbe limited to those of an internationalclearing-house for the payment of wardebts.

In the course of a short meeting thisevening the conference decided to electtwo committees, one to deal with poli-tical matters and the other to deal withfinancial questions. Mr Arthur Hender-son, British Foreign Secretary, waselected chairman of the Political Com-mittee, whilst Baron Houtart, BelgianFinance Minister, was appointedchairman of the Finance Committee.

It is understood that Mr PhilinPnowden and Mr William Graham willrepresent Britain on the FinanceCommittee. Both committees beginwork to-morrow.—Australian Press As-sociation, Official Wireless.

The Young Plan, which was drawnup by an International Committee ofExperts, provided that Germany shouldpay instalments for 59 years—for thefirst 37 years a mean annuity of £102,*500,000, for the next 21 years £85,000,-000, and the final year's payment of£45,000,000.

The mean annuity for the 59 yearswould amount to £99,400,000 dividedbetween the principal creditors as fol-lows:

Britain .. 20,900,000Franoo .. 51,950,000Italy .. 10,550,000Belgium

.. 3,750,000United States .. 3,300,000

The remainder would be divided be-tween Jugo-Slavia, Rumania, Greece,

Poland, and Portugal.The Committee made provision for an

Internationa] Bank to take the placeof the existing Dawes machinery. Byjudicious financial development, it wasstated, which special care had beentaken to prevent from encroaching uponexisting banks, it was hoped that thisinstitution migut help to solve Ger-many's special financial problem.

It would have a shaie capital of£20,000,000, to be subscribed in thefirst place by the central banks of thePowers represented on the Experts' Com-mittee, of which one-quarter would bepaid up at once.

Sir Josiah Stamp, chief British ex-pert, gave the Paris edition of the"New York Herald" his opinion of it.He said: "The International Bank willmeet a vast need of the world to-dayfor business and financial co-operation.If It had not been for the Reparationsproblem the world might have had towai* another 25 years for this. Wehave now been able to develop the ideaof an International Bank as a by-pro-duct of another problem—that of Se-parations. ''

ing the Egyptian Treaty is disposed towait and see how Mahmoud Pasha, theEgyptian Prime Minister, fares be-fore the Egyptian Parliament twomonths hence, and whether the Wafd(Nationalist) Party will have sufficientsense to resist the itch for demandingmore.

In this connexion it is felt that MrArthur Henderson's statement that thetreaty is the extreme limit to winchEngland is prepared to go will be auseful deterrent.

There is also a desire to see howIndia, Australia, and New Zealand recard the safeguards, but. as official cir-cles emphasise, the Dominions weremost closely informed before the draftwas initialled, and the inference isdrawn that the Government feels thatit has the backing of the Dominions,in view of the fact that the Suez Canalwill be adequately safcfniarded.—Aus-tralian Press Association.

MEAT EXPORT.

ADVICE TO AUSTRALIA ANDNEW ZEALAND.

NEED FOR MORE INSPECTORS.

(OTriTED PBESS ASSOCIATION —BT ELECTRICTELEGRAPH -COPYRIGHT.)

(Received August 9th, 1.10 a.m.)LONDON, August 8.

Lieut.-Colonel Dnnlop Young's reporton his inspection of the exportation ofmeat from Australia and New Zealandcontains recommendations to which hesuggests attention should be paid inthe hope that they may prove of aomevalue to those 'concerned, and thatAustralian meat, especially lamb, mayobtain as good a reputation at Smith-field as New Zealand lamb. Lieut.-Colonel Young is a veterinary officer atSmithfield, who visited Australia lastyear at the invitation of the Common-wealth Government, and also went toNew Zealand.

Lieut.-Colonel Young suggests thatthe establishment of an Animal Bureauof Industry on the same lines as thatin the United Scates would be of in-calculable benefit. He advises station-owners and cattle-breeders to breedfrom hornless bulls selected forbeef production in order to getrid of the horns, and to producesmaller cattle, weighing 560 to 720lbs with smaller bones, the meat andfat uniformly distributed over thebody, not patchy bnt preferably heaviestat the hindquarters, for which thehighest price is obtained. Cattle shouldbe marketed as young as possible. Herecommends that the Government pre-vent the use of scrub bulls but importselected bulls of a hornless breed andsell them at cost price to station-ownerswho are enable to import them, supplythe public abattoirs, and provide fundsfor veterinary research into animaldiseases, especially those at presentfinancially affecting the meat industry.

Lieut.-Colonel Young adds: "In NewZealand grading has been well done, andthe reliable system should be main-tained. Breeders should, from time totime, consult the salesmen at Smithfieldand the Meat Board's expert as to thebest type of lamb and sheep carcase de-sired by the retail butcher, who is thedeciding factor.

"Regarding meat inspection, theweakest point in New Zealand's otherwise good system appears to be too fewinspectors, considering the number ofcarcases tb be examined. The ante-mortem inspection appears to be chieflycarried out by lay inspectors. Suchwork should be done only by efficientveterinary officers. Plucks should beleft in carcases till the inspector hasmade his examination."—AustralianPress Association.

BURNING BANK NOTES.

AUSTRALIA DESTROYS A MILLIONA WEEK.

(raoit otjr own cohrbspokbext.)SYDNEY, August 1.

The fact that, during the financialyear just closed, Australia flung piti-lessly into the fire for destruction nofewer than 46,000,000 notes, mostly ofdenominations of ten shillings and apound, is the best indication that thereare far fewer soiled notes in circulationnowadays than formerly was the case.

Another interesting fact is that theaverage age of a ten shilling note inAustralia is only five months, and thatof a pound note only seven months.The notes are then ealled in and con-signed to the flames at the rate ofnearly a million a week right throughthe year.

Australia is printing new notes morerapidly than it is destroying them, inorder to preserve a clean circulation.Where, for example, 46,000,000 aretossed into the fire in the year48,000,000 brand new notes are put into«irenUti>«.

NEW YORK, August 7.The Graf Zeppelin left Lakehurst

(New Jersey), on its round-the-worldtrip at 11.42 p.m. (Eastern standardtime). The departure was wituesscdby an enthusiastic crowd of all classes.Many of the most fashionable membersof New York society were present. Fa-vourable weather is assured at leastuntil the airship is well off the Ameri-can coast.

An IS-year-old youth was capturedwhile attempting to board the airshipfrom the beams overhead in the hangarwhen a member of the crew saw thered sweater he wore. The German offi-cers were much offended and angryafter the similar episode which occurredon the crossing from Friedriehsnar'en,and the boy was taken to gaol by ma-rines for punishment. The officials wereotherwise in a good humour at the suc-cessful take off, and the passengerswaved gaily from the windows of thegondola as the engineer thewater ballast to "weigh" the ship, as jit moved slowly out of the hangar. Shethen soon rose evenly into the air. !

There were 22 passengers, includingSir Hubert Wilkins and Lady Drura-mond Hay, the journalist, who will bethe only woman on the round flight.

The principal effect of the round-tapworld flight, if it is successful, is ex- !pected to be the assurance to the public, Jwhich will permit a regular trans-Atlan- itic dirigible service being established jin 1931. The commander, Dr. HugoEekener, will fly over London for thefirst time on this trip.

He stated: I am confident of sue- 'cess. If we have a mishap anywhereon the world trip, and simply must land, ;I hope to have the assistance of thepeople into whose country we descend.

MEN LONGING FOR SUNLIGHT.

[By Russell Owes—Copyrighted 1838 byNew YorV Times Company »nd StLouis "Po6t-D:spatch."j

PBESS ASSOCIATION— BY ELECTWCTKLSdBAFH -COPYRIGHT.)

BAY OF WHALES, August 6.This is what the Eskimos call a

"white day." It is snowii.g, overcast,and we are unable t-o see the wideningband of light creep up into the sky,but the winter is nearly over and thereis even a strange difference in thelight which illuminates our immediateenvironment. It is growing strongerand is a welcome contrast to the chilllight from the moon and stars whichhave been with us so long, eastingeerie shadows.

To be frank, we are beginning to beslightly bored by the darkness. Thosewho have never lived through a winternight for four months can hardly re-alise its monotony. It is not only thatone rises by lamplight, reads and worksby lamplight, eats by lamplight, andgoes to bed by lamplight, which latteris as it should be. but that every walkoutdoors is through a circumambientgloom, which narrows one's world tothe tiny place through which one walksstumblingly. .Nature closes its wallsof darkness and one feels small andalone. There is no escape from suchenvironment. There is no opportunityto get away for even a short while tosee new faces, hear new voices andseek amusement or relaxation in theenvironment which civilisation affords.One is fixed as if in an enchanted andlost spot. Footsteps trace and retraceth© same paths and bring one back tothe same scenes. There

_

is no gazinginto the distance, no relief from one'simmediate surroundings, whatever t-cvmay be.

This is not to say that we havesuffered greatly from this condition;that would be far from the truth.Everyone has something to do andfinds that the time goes swiftly, muchmore swiftly than we had hoped.

It is probably true that everyonelooked forward to the Antarctic nightwith anticipation of its novelty andyet with something of dread, for wehad heard so many tales of what _ itdid to men ; of bitterness and insanity ,and horrible melancholy. It was wel-come as an experience, but_ was re-garded verily ps an whichmust be out-manoeuvred; which itwould take all one's self-control andmoral stamina to resist. It was withsomething of that spirit that we sawthe nicht come on, this night whichhas not yet vanished.

Contented Existence.Some of the things which we were

told of the long night have happenedto us. We long for sunlight as wehave never longed for anything before.We watch the little streak of lighton the horizon every morning andgladlv see it growing larger.

The personal idiosyncrasy of indi-viduals nas become painfully apparent.At times one man's laugh is annoyingto some, and the way another talks,which would be quite normal in ordin-ary life, becomes a thorn in the sideof the few who hear him, and those soaffected are probably just as guilty insome other personal oddity which

| grates on the nerves of their neigh-i bours. But the marvellous part of this

I experience is that the men have shown| themselves ttKbe capable of restraint,and so thoughtful of others that theyhave known it was largely of theirimagination, ind have gone on smilingthrough a normal and contented exist-ence. There may have been a fewripples on the otberwis© placia surfaceof our existence, but nothing such aswe anticipated, and nothing at anwhen the heterogenous group of whicnthis camp is composed is considered.

Little America has weathered thewinter and our discontent has success-fully passed, for much of our successin weathering the winter has been dueto the number of those in camp andthe way in which Commander Bvrdhas arranged them. There are fourliving houses, so that the men are con-stantly moving from one to the other:dronoing in to watch others at workthat is different from their own orto chat. And there have been fewdavs when we have not been togo between the houses overland andso get air and exercise.—AustralianPress Association.

UPPER HOUSE REFORM

TASK IN NEW SOUTH WALES.

(molt orra owir coßßßSPotrnmr.)

SYDNEY, August 1.The State Government is beginning

to wake up to the fact that it is notso easy to reform the Legislative Coun-cil as it looks, even with a big sprink-ling in that nominee Chamber ofLabour men who are supposed to bethere largely for the purpose of givingthe Upper House the coup de gracewhen the time is felt to be ripe.

The trouble is that, when it comesto the pinch, few politicians want tosurrender life nominee seats in the aris-tocratic Chamber of review for thealternative, under elective reform, ofhaving to go out and fight an electionif they want to retain their places.

The Government is faced with threeobstacles to reform. The first is theLegislative Assembly. If the Legisla-tive Council electors are to be the sameas for the Legislative Assembly, it willmean simply the creation of a secondmachine-like Party House, as in thecase of the Senate. Again, the Legis-lative Council itself is hardly likely toagree to a reform that will toss its mem-bers out into the cold world. Thenthere has to be a referendum of thepeople on the question of Upper Housereform, and it is not improbable thatthis would be negatived with the LabourParty swinging its weight against theGovernment's methods of reform, asdistinguished from Labour's policy ofstraight-out abolition.

MORPETH WINS.

(Received August Bth, 9.50 p.m.)MELBOURNE, August 8

Sloan Morpeth (Now Zealand »

defeated A. Hancock (Victoria)two up and one to play, and won thsVictorian Amateur Golf Championshipfrom the most classic field which hasyet contested the event. The New Zea-lander's victory is popular and well-merited, owing to the consistentlygood golf he played.

Morpeth is elated with his win.though he is decidedly modost as tohis own capabilities as a golfer. Hisdriving was the feature of a thrillinggame, and richly repaid tlie exception-ally large gallery who followed thematch, which wa* played in boisterousweather.

Morpeth's longest hit was 295 yards,against Hancock's 280 yards.

Opening the first round, Morpethoutdrove Hancock by ten yards, butboth went eight yards past the pinwith their seconds. The hole was halvedas was the second and third atwhich both putted brilliantly. Mor-peth's 2'Jij yard drive at the fourth holegave him an advantage, hmshing witha twenty foot putt for a birdie four—one up. At tne fifth there was littlebetween the drives and brassies, butHancock's mashie was short of thegreen whilst Morpeth was eight yardsfrom the pin. A par five put the NewZealander two up at the sixth. Theseventh was halved.

At the eighth Morpeth's second wasweak and he gave Hancock the hole.Hancock was in the better positionfrom the drive to the ninth, and hefollowed with a good brassie, whilstMorpeth had two poor lies. The matchwas squared. At the tenth Morpeth'sdrive hit a spectator and bounced intothe rough. He made a brilliant re-covery and halved. At the eleventhHancock was bunkered and the NewZealander was one up again. Thetwelfth was halved. At the thirteenthMorpeth was two up, Hai>eock missinga seven foot putt by incl*.. The four-teenth hole was halved. At the fif-teenth playing into the wind, Mor-peth sliced into the rough. He recov-ered well, but was bunkered. Han-cock was now one down. The six-teenth, seventeenth, and eighteenthwere halved.

The scores for the round were: Mor-peth 82. Hancock 83.

After lunch the gallery completelysurrounded the greens, and the marshals jhad a difficult task. The players waited !until the crowd was in position before jmaking their shots. Morpeth won thenineteenth and twentieth, and was threeup. Hancock took the twenty-first andthe twenty-second was halved. Anotherspectator was hit at the twenty-thirdby Hancock, the ball bouncing backinto the fairway. Hancock won thehole, making him one down. Hancockwon 1 the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth, where Morpeth got into bunkerswith his brassie. This was the firstoccasion on which Hancock had led.The New Zealander responded by takingthe next, 230 yards, in three, and thetwenty-seventh, one stroke to the gTeen,making him one up. The twenty-eighth,twenty-ninth, and thirtieth holes wetehalved.

Fortunes see-sawed, with the steadyNpw Zealander always having the ad-vantage. His typical smashing driveat the final hole of the game, finishedoff with a perfect putt, gave him awell-earned victory.

The New Zealanders hope to com-plete the double with tho Kirk-Win-deyer Cup.

BANK RATES.

AN AUCKLAND DISCUSSION.


AUCKLAND, August 8."It is not to the advantage of the

banks to maintain the present position,and I think that they are to be commended for their caution in resistingthe demand for lower overdraft rates,"said Mr 11. W. Hudson at a meeting ofthe Council of the Auckland Chamberof Commerce. "The trading positionis too unstable yet," he added.

Letters from other Chambers suggested that the lowering of the bankrates at the present time would probably lead to an undesirable increase inspeculative trading, and the action ofthe banks in resisting the demand forlower rates was probably being takento check a too swift swing of the pendulum. , It was agreed that the quickchange to an excess of deposits overwithdrawals was indicative of the re-markable recuperative powers of theDominion.

Mr Lunn said that in view of theopinions expressed it would be unwiseto press for a reduction in the rates atthe present time. The meeting agreedwith this view.

O.T. LIMITED.

In their report for the year ended June30th, 1928, presented at the annual meet-ing of shareholders held in September, thedirectors of O.T. Limited stated that duringthe term the company had received a furtheroffer of £250,000 for its English business,but this was rejected. Previously it wasoffered £200,000 and later £240,000. Ap-parently the English company Kiaora Lim-ited, which O.T. Limited controls, has maderapid progress in its business, as it is nowannounced that the chairman of directors(Mr J. Dixon), who is in England, has re-ceived an offer of £410,000 for the Britishrights of the English company. As the pre-vious offer of £250,000 was made only alittle more than twelve months ago salesOf the company's products in Great Britainmust have increased substantially, with aconsequent favourable result on profits.

Beyond the fact that the offer of £410.000has been received and that a deposit of£40,000 has been lodged, the managementof O.T. Limited, the head office. of which isin Melbourne, is unable to give any informa-tion at present. For the twelve monthsended June 30th. 1928, O.T. Limited earneda net profit of £46,326, of which £30,000represented dividends from investments outof Australia. Dividend on ordinary sharesof 28 8d a share for the year was paid outof profits from investments outside Austra-lia and of Is 4d a share on Australian earn-ings. In April of last year the capital ofthe company was increased from £250.000to £450,000 by the creation" of 200.000 or-dinary shares of £1 each. In October thedirectors made a bonus issue of shares toordinary holders of one free share for everyshare held, so that whereas on June 30th,1928, issued ordinary capital was £133.598,it would now be twice that sum. The bal-ance-sheet showed shares in other companiesabroad and investments in Australia at£65,473, and it was presumed that thisitem would be written up in face of theoffer of £250,000 which had been received forthe English business. Now that an offer of£410,000 has been received shareholders arein an exceedingly favourable situation.

ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACKET.

Owing to an issue id July last of £2,000,0006 per cent, debentures, the £35,000 interestfor the broken period of the year told againstthe profits earned by the Royal Mail SteamPacket Company in 1928. Net income forthe year at £457,216 was £32.664 less thanfor 1927, and compares with £205,326 for1926. After meeting preference dividendsof £233.000, ordinary divindend of 5 percent, is paid requiring £250,000, so that theprofit failed to provide sufficient to enablethe ordinary distribution to be met out ofearnings. The reserve is unchanged at£1,450.000. and the carry forward amountsto £46.879. The balance-sheet at the closeof the year showed a more liquid position,presumab'y owing to the debenture issue of£2,000.000 Cash, etc., stood at £1.114,580against £310.605 a year previously, debtorsincreased from £411.033 to £488,207, whilebills payable were reduced from £658.125to £421,471. The item, creditors, which atthe close of 1927 amounted to ?2,257,070including bank loan of £428.484. stood inthe balance-sheet at December 3lst at61,404.890. Beyond the fact that competi-tion in the South American trade had be-come exceedingly intensified, there was no-thing in the speech of the chairman (LordKylsant) at the annual meeting held in Lon-don on June 12th. to suggest that alarmshould be caused at the trend of the company's affairs, as is indicated in the fall ofthe market price of the ordinary stock ofthe company reported in cable messages.The auditor, in his report, directed attentionthat depreciation for the vear was at a lowerrate than usual. Lord Kvlsant told shareholders that provision of th« usual rate of5 per cent, for depreciation was unnecessary,and submitted as evidence that two vessels(vhieb were sold subsequent to the end of the/ear rea'ised prices cons'derably in excessof their book value. He stated that work-ing expenses of his-h class vessels were stillvery heavy, and that the cost of handlingfooda British port* was excessrv*.

OBITUARY.MR W. E. THOMSON.

The death of Mr W. E. Thomson oc-

curred on August sth at Masterton,after a short illness. He had manyfriends in Christchnrch, where he spentalmost all his wife. BornatOxfordin190<> he was educated at the Christ-church Boys' High School at Canter-bury College, where he graduated Mas-ter of Arts with honors in History, andtook the Diploma of Journalism, andat the School of Art. He edited theCanterbury College "Review" with dis-tinguished* success, and was senior as-sistant in the college. library.After a short term of journalisticservice on The Press and the Christ-ehureh "Star," he took up advertis-ing work, and it was from the acting-managership of the Charles Haines Ad-vertising Agency in ChristchurcL thathe moved to Masterton as assistant mas-ter at the Wairarapa High School. Un-usually versatile, he would have suc-ceeded in almost any career; but thereis little doubt that the one to wueh|he turned last, and which is now toosoon cut off, would have exercised hisvarious gifts as no other could have,and would have continued to satisfyand delight him as it did at on:*e. Hedrew unusually rich advantage from atireless devotion to literature, music,and art; and the classroom was his rich-est opportunity to lend, out. this ad-vantage again and multiply it amongothers. He was himself a writer; but heset his standards very high, and wasseldom well enough satisfied to be will-ing to print. The published evidence ofhis gift is a scanty but charming hand-ful of light verses in the "Revi w"be edited in "College Rhymes," andthe Boys' High School Magazine.

He married, last summer, Miss EnidS. Bowie, of Christchurch.

MEMORIAL TO JACKCORNWELL, V.C.

(VBOK OTTR OWN corbespondent.)

LONDON, June 28.Earl Jellicoe, who, until he became

President of the British Legion, wasCounty Commissioner for London BoyScouts, opened, a few days ago, sixcottages in memory of Boy Scout JackCornwell, V.C. Jack Cornwell was oneof the eleven members of the Boy ScoutMovement to gain the Victoria Crossduring the Great War. In his case itwas awarded posthumously. The cot-tages are at Hornchurch, Essex. Theyare for naval men disabled in the warand their families. The first two willbe occupied by comrades of Jack Corn-well, who served with him on H.M.S.Chester before he was killed in theBattle of Jutland.

H.M.S. Chester was constructed inthe shipyards at Birkenhead, wherenext July and August 50,000 BoyScouts from 25 parts of the BritishEmpire and 41 other nations, will take-part in the movement's coming-of-ageWorld Jamboree at Arrowe Park. Theseworld-famous shipyards and other greatindustrial centres in the north will bevisited by each of the foreign andoversea Scouts during their stay inArrowe Park.

Boy Scout Jack Cornwell, V.C., isalso commemorated in the Boy Scoutmovement itself by the Cornwell ScoutDecoration —an award the qualificationsfor which require a very high standardof character, devotion to duty andphysical courage. Out of two millionBoy Scouts in the world only fortyone have obtained this coveted decora-tion, so high are the standards to be at-tained.

Pageant for the Prince.On July 31st the Duke of Connaught

will formally open the Jamboree fromthe Royal Box in Arrowe Park, and thefollowing evening the Prince of Wales,Chief Scout for Wales, representingthe King, will arrive in camp. Thenext day he will attend a rally andpageant of nations held in his honour.Prince George, who has recently be-come Commodore of the Sea Scoutbranch of the movement, will visit theJamboree on August 3rd, and will at-tend a special display at West Kir bymarine lake. While this is in progressthe Wolf Cubs will hold a rally atArrowe Park, and the Chief Scout willbe present during the ceremony knownas the Grand Howl.

Among the Scouts present there willbe troops of blind, deaf, dumb, andcrippled members of the movement;while at intervals during the Jamboreethe Chief Scout will receive theveterans of the movement—that is,those with 18 years' service and more.The public will have opportunities ofinspecting the camps, and every after-noon there will be special entertain-ments in the arena. An open-air theatreand a cinema will be provided in thecamp, and several pvents will be broad-casted, including the speeches by thePrinze of Wales and the Duke of Con-naught and the Chief Scout and themassed Thanksgiving Service, and partof the service to be held in LiverpoolCathedral on August 11th.

Health and Happiness.To-day the movement is active in

forty-two different countries, with amembership of nearly 2,000.000.

A remarkable point about the move-ment, General Sir Robert Baden-Powell remarked at a luncheon,was that it had found no enemyexcept among the Communists.These have declared war upon it be-cause it was capturing the youth ofthe different countries.

"Lookingback," he commented, "onthe development daring the past twentvyears, with all the handicap of firststarting as a new thing and then meet-ing the heavy setback incidental tofour years of war iust at the critical«tage of our existence, one may reason- jablv visualise a tremendons growth of jthe movement during the next twenty 'vears. At present it onlv touches thefringe of the bovhood. but one mayhope that with increase of popularsympathy and support it will go onto influence a tangible proportion ofthe vonth of each nation.

"Tf it succeeds in this it should helpto bring abont a healthier, happier, andmore helpful citizenhood in eachcountry. and at the same time astouter link of mutual comradeshipbetween the future men of the differentcountries such as should ensure peaceand goodwill in place of unrest andselfish antagonisms in the world."

NORTH ISLAND PRICE OF WHEATTO lOITOB 0» TK* PBSSS

Bir,—l have been frequently told the

general opinion in the South Island is

that buyers in the North Island have

to pay extortionate prices for fowl

wheat. To those familiar with thetrading conditions in fowl wheat inthe north, the statement is ridiculous,but as I understand the interchange ofvisits of organised farmers' parties liaseon Armed and widened the allegation,I crave brief space to eouvey to youthe prices actually charged.

Buyers can roughly be classified intothree groups:—(l) Storekeepers andlarge poultry-farmers earning theirlivelihood thereby; (2) private indi-viduals who have sufficient poultry tobuy uack lots or more; and (3) thesmall householder who buys brokensack lots for a few fowls. The connect-ing link between the supplies in theSototh Island and tho above threeclasses is the North Island merchant.The standard price of poultry wheatsouth to day is, say, 5s 9d per bushel,sacks extra. The wheat is sold in theNorth sacks in, and with the trans-port charges to, say, Wellington, costsIs 1 Jd, equalling a cost of t»s 10|d,sacks in, Wellington.

Speaking generally, merchantscharge:—Class No. 1: Storekeepersandlarge poultry-farmers—not more thanid per bushel, or 5 per cent., whichcharge covers canvassing for the order,booking same up and financing for amonth or more, and fowl wheat alwaysbeing a "cut" line this meagre un-economic profit is sometimes cut to 2dper bushel or 24 per cent. To the consumer, that is the No. 2 class, who buysack lots or more from storekeepers,the price to-day in several typicalcentres is: Wellington 7s !)d to Bs,Palmerston North 8s to 8s 3d, Hawera8s 3d. You will find other NorthIsland* centres selling at similar prices.

I have not looked into nor dealt with3 class (representing the small

householder with a few fowls) but Iho»e the above information will correctthe erroneous impression that poultry-farmers and other large users of fowl

wheat in the North are paying extor-tionate prices.—Yours, etc.,uona v JOHN C. YOUNG.

GREATER CHRISTCHURCH.TO I'HE EDITOR OK THE PRESS.

Sir,—l was pleased to learn by areport in your paner, a few days ago,that there is a movement in Christ-church to enlarge the area of the Cityand form a Greater Christcliurch, suchincreased area to extend to and includethe present boroughs of New Brightonand Sumner. 1 hope that this move-ment will go on and eventually becomean accomplished tact. That it will bean advantage to the City and to bothof the two marine suburbs there can,1 should think, be no two opinions.As a resident in Sumner I have longbeen of the opinion that there aresome measures of advantage to bothCity and suburbs which can only bebrought about by an amalgamationof interests. To mention only one ofthese requirements. We have at Sum-ner an unrivalled piece of beach. ex-tending from the Cave Rook to Scar-borough, and with surf bathing nowbecoming increasingly popular everysummer some further bathing accom-modation beyond the totaljy inade-quate provision at present existing hasbecome an urgent necessity. Some-thing must be done, and that immedi-ately. Last summer every evening

some hundreds of people came down ovtram from the City and car from thesuburbs to have a swim in the poolor a dip in the surf, and there waslittle or no accommodation for them toundress in. It is not to be expectedthat the residents and ratepayers otSumner should provide this very neces-sary accommodation. It should be donebv those to whom the beach belongs,and that is the whole of Canterburyand the City of Christchurch This

1 bench is one of the lungs of the Oityj and should therefore be well providedi in the manner suggested. I hopei therefore that this contemplated exten-! sion of the City boundaries may soonI become an accomplished fact, and wemay, bv a united effort, have some-thing done in the matter I havereferred to, as well as in other neces-snrv things'.— Yours, etc.,

points he so ably emphasises. Myown Society recognises that somethingmust be done in the interests of thestray dogs and cats of this City, and theemployees of the City Council shouldnever "have been asked to be the execu-tioners of the starving strays of theCity. Surely their sufferings of hay-

It takes at thevery least five to ten minutes to destroycats and dogs by drowning, and theirterror in the interim before their re-lease can be imagined by any humaneperson, for the animal mind and Dramis not many degrees from the human.

CHILD KILLED.i �

I RUN OVER BY MOTOR-V AN.

« ACCIDENT IN MANCHESTERSTREET.

As a result of being run over by a

motor-van, a little girl, aged five years10 months, Aileen O'Donoghue, receivedfatal injuries at midday yesterday. Shewas the daughter of Mr M. F. O Dono-

ghue, of 252 Bealey avenue.The accident occurred in Manchester

street, near JSt. Mary's school, ihedriver of the van, which was goingnorth, was Mr Harry McMillan. Justas he reached St. Mary's school, hesaw the little girl in front ot him.Too late to avoid hitting her, he appliedthe brakes, but the left-handguard struck the child, and both lettwheels passed over her body.

Pulling up immediately, the. driver otthe car, with a woman who witnessedthe accident, rushed to where the childlay, and finding her to be seriously in-jured, took her to the Christchurch Hos-

! pital. The injuries proved fatal, how-

ever, and the child died before shecould be admitted.I An inquest was opened before Mr H.

A. Young, as Coroner, last evening,

when formal evidence of identificationwas given bv the father of the child.The enquiry was then adjourned sinedie.

TRANSPORT.

MODERN PROBLEMS.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCEBULLETIN.

The following bulletin on the subjectof transport has been prepared by theDepartment of Economics of Canter-bury College for the Canterbury Cham-ber of Commerce:—

The problems of urban transport atthe present time are very similar innature to those of national transport,some aspects of which were discussedin our last bulletin. In both cases pub-licly owned transport systems, whichformerly possessed virtual monopoliesover part of the transport field, havehad their monopolies challenged by therise of motor transport, and fear hasbeen expressed lest the advantageswhich the communities concernedwould secure from the most economical,convenient, and efficient combinationof forms of transport may be lost owingto the desire of public authorities toprotect their own monopolies againstcompetition. In both cases there areinstances where political rather thanbusiness considerations have governedconstruction or operation, sometimesboth, hence difficulties are being metin making publicly administered trans-port systems pay, and the public fearthat deficits on these public undertak-ings may mean increasing burdens ontax and ratepayers.

Viewing urban transport as a whole,the matter of public administration ofa section of the transport service ap-pears as a relatively small part of amuch larger question. The larger ques-tion includes the provision of roads androutes for traffic of all kinds, thesupervision of such traffic in order tocombine maximum facility with publicsafety, and the provision under manyvarieties of ownership and control ofthe vehicles necessary to handle thetraffic.

It is characteristic of cities that thebusiness, shopping, and amusementareas tend to be urban and concentrat-ed, while many residential areas aredispersed and suburban. Thus arisesthe first question of affording meanswhereby people can be transporteddaily between their homes and their oc-cupations, or transported from one partto another when bent on shopping,amusement, recreational or social acti-vities. Such movements give rise toheavy and regular traffic which has tobe catered for, but there are peculiardifficulties owing to the wide diversityof numbers requiring transport at vari-ous hours of the day. Sufficient carry-ing capacity must be provided to movethe heaviest traffic, usually before ninein the morning or on holidays, but thisis more than is required at the slackerhours of the day, or on normal work-ing days. As a result, all units of thetransport system can seldom be keptworking to capacity all the time, andcapital becomes locked up in plantwhich may be often idle. Economicalmanagement demands that idle plantbe minimised, and much is to be gain-ed from elastic and mobile organisa-tions which permits the ready transferof vehicles from one part of the systemto another to meet variations in de-mand for transport.

Improvements in facilities for pas-senger transport have done much torelieve congestion and promote healthin urban areas, since they have en-couraged residence in suburbs undersemi-rural rather than city conditions,and have stimulated movement for re-el eational purposes. In this way,cheaper, swifter, and more convenienttransport may mean that a betterstandard of living and fuller leisure,can be achieved on a given income.These are social advantages whichmake improved transport facilitieshighly desirable.

In addition to the carriage of humanfieight, goods traffic must be providedfor. A city consumes much that isbrought from bevond its borders, andproduces much that must be sentafield. Hence transport connexionswith ports, other centres, and ruralareas are necessary. These involvedepots and facilities for the collectionand distribution of an infinite varietyof goods. Without such facilities andthe requisite organisation for themovement of such goods, the economicsystem which requires the transportof many passengers daily would be im-possible. Hence goods traffic is morefundamental and in many senses moreimportant than passenger transportIt is certainly more important thanthat part cf passenger transport ad-ministered by public concerns, andgoods transport is almost wholly own-ed and controlled by private enter-prise.

In considering goods transport, also,any improvements in speed and ef-ficiency are likely to mean decreasedtransport costs, and it is the generalaim of business enterprise to reducesuch costs to a minimum. Lower trans-port costs mean increases in the valuesthat can economically be produced, to-gether with hicher returns to industryand therefore higher wages and incomesgenerally. These in turn tend to meanhigher standards of life, and it is there-fore true as regards both passenger andgoods transport that anything whichchecks transport improvements tendsto lower living standards generally,while anything which encourages suchimprovements tends to raise them. Itis for such reasons that improvementsin transport should be welcomed andstimulated rather than discouraged.

Transport Facilities.

The first essential of urban transportis a road system adequate to carry thetraffic. Some of the most difficultproblems of urban transport to-daycentre round the construction andmaintenance of roads to carry denseand rapidly-moving traffic in areaswhich are often congested and whoseroad systems were never planned tocarry such traffic. To meet _ thesedifficulties roads have been widenedand reconstructed, deviations havebeen made for through traffic, specialtypes of traffic have been excludedfrom particular streets, one-way traffichas been adopted, and other devicesresorted to. But the situation haschanged so rapidly and varies so wide-lv that no standard solution is possible,the best that can be done appears tobe a succession of compromises adaptedto the existing situation and keepingalways in view the probable future de-velopments, the need for reasonablepublic economy, and the great publicadvantages to be secured from im-proved transport facilities.

Much of this problem is due to theincreasing use of motor vehicles, whichhave now largely superseded horse-drawn traffic in most centres. For awide variety of goods traffic the motorvehicle has proved its superiority inspeed and carrying capacity, which re-duces transport costs, and it is in ad-dition often more convenient andmobile,- and is certainly more sanitaryfor city use. Where traffic is heavyand continuous its advantages are ob-vious, but where traffic is light andirregular, as in the house to house de-livery of tradesmen's goods, it is some-times found that running costs arevery heavy owing to constant startingand stopping and to the wastes ofidling engines. For this reason "hemotor has sometimes been abandonedafter trial, in favour of the horse, butin some centres electrically drivenvehicles are widely used, as they aresilent, smooth, readily stopped, started,and accelerated without gear change,and consume power only when run-ning, all of which makes for economyin running costs. But the great variety

of goods and of collection and deliveryconditions requires varied types ofvehicles and each business is likely tochoose that which suits its own need?test. Hence, though the motor willprobably continue to predominate, itappears likely that the variety of motorand other vehicles may increase ratherthan diminish.

In passenger transport a large num-ber of people, for purposes of conveni-ence. comfort, and sometimes economy,provide their own means of transport.Hence, in addition to pedestrians, thereare many bicycles and private cars aswell as horse-drawn vehicles. Former-

the trams, almost universally elec-trically driven, provided cheap trans-port for practically all those whose cus-tom it was to pay, and tramway sys-tems were established on the assump-tion that their practical monopoly ofcommercial passenger transport wouldbe continued. But this monopoly hasin recent years been challenged by themotor-bus, and the tram versus busquestion is as acute in the urban fieldas is the road versus rail transportquestion in the wider national field.

Both tram and bus have certain ad-vantages and disadvantages and theirspheres are, in many cases, complemen-tary rather than competitive. The tramhas the great advantage of superior car-rying capacity. It can transport largenumbers of passengers, in spite of fre-quent stops, more economically and.where large crowds have to be handled,more expeditiously than any other typeof street vehicle. But the tram cannotleave its track, and the presence ofrails and the running of trams increasesthe difficulty and expense of upkeep ofroad surface, while in busy streets,regulations designed to protect passen-gers entering and leaving trams, andthe trams' right of way, together withtheir frequent stops, slow up other traf-fic, and greatly increase the tendencyto traffic congestion. It is mainly forthese reasons that trams are excludedin some areas of dense traffic, as inthe centre of London, and that theyhave been abandoned in some othercities. In addition the tramways' capi-tal and overhead costs are high, whileits running costs are relatively low,hence tramway profits and losses arevery sensitive to changes in traffic den-sity. Where large numbers of passen-gers have to be carried daily, and trafficis not too congested, the trams can berun economically and they may per-form an essential service more efficient-ly than any other vehicle. But in out-lying areas where passengers are fewerand returns lower, there is no justifica-tion on business grounds for undertak-ing the expense of laying out thecostly equipment of a tramway.

It is here that the motor-bus has itsgreatest advantage. Its capital cost isrelatively low, its running expenses pro-bably higher than those of trams. Itcan, as a rule, carry fewer passengers,and is less economical and efficient inhandling large crowds. But the unitis smaller, more flexible, and can bemanaged by one man. The bus canpull up at the kerb to set down or pickup passengers, it needs no rails, andcan run anywhere the road runs, it doesnot occasion traffic congestion to thesame extent as the tram, and the ser-vice need not be stopped owing to thebreakdown of any one unit. In addi-tion, many passengers regard the busas the more comfortable, faster, andmore convenient vehicle.

Where traffic is sparse or streetsvery congested, the bus has proved amore suitable vehicle than the tram.The average tram's carrying capacityis probably at least double that of theaverage bus, hence where traffic is suf-ficient the tram can carry more pas-sengers at a lower cost per passengerthan the bus. But where traffic is lightthe heavier tram costs have to bespread over a smaller number of pas-sengers, and hence it can carry themless cheaply than the bus. In addi-tion, the bus is a much less risky busi-ness proposition, for, if a bus routefails to pay, the buses can be removedelsewhere. A tram route cannnot beopened without sinking irretrievably aheavy capital outlay. It is for thesereasons that the bus is a far moresuitable vehicle in lighter traffic areas,while the tram is likely to continue tolead in centres where traffic is denser.

Tram and Bus Policy.

Wise regulation is always a difficultmatter, and particularly difficult whencompetitors in the supply of essentialpublic services are the subject of regu-lation. As a broad and general princi-ple it may be stated that there shouldalways be as little regulation as possi-ble; the public interest is to get thebest service at the lowest cost, andsuch service is most likely to be devel-oped if enterprise is left free and un-hampered, and consumers are permit-ted to select the most efficient of com-peting services. But in the sphere ofurban transport absolute freedom andcompetition in the supply of servicehave in many cases proved unpractic-able.

It is now generally recognised thattraffic must be regulated in order tosecure safety on the streets. Wherekeen competition exists in transportservice, as between buses, or buses andtrams, unsafe practices such as nursingand cutting in tend to develop, hencemany authorities have restricted com-petition. In addition, the need for regu-larity of service, observance of time-tables, and the protection of passen-gers' interests has brought the sys-tem of licensing transport units andgranting the right to ply for hire onlyunder conditions fixed by the licensingauthority. Few people would quarrelwith the restriction of competition inorder to ensure greater safety in urbantransport, or with the practice of licens-ing transport units in order to secureeffective service. But the question asto how far these limitations should becarried is very open, particularlywhere its decision must also determinethe respective spheres of trams andbuses.

Electric trams in New Zealand citieshave now been established for manyyears, and £5,000,000 of capital, forwhich ratepayers are liable, have beensunk in their development. They havebeen given the monopoly right to layrails in the public streets, and theyare required to conform with certainconditions which may prevent theirbeing run in the most economical man-ner. They have pioneered much pas-senger transport, and have aidedgreatly in the development of manysuburban areas so relieving city con-gestion and promoting health and theyare still acknowledged to be the mostefficient means of handling large num-bers of people in areas where trafficis dense at peak hours, or on busydays. But owing to high fixed chargesthev pay best where traffic is dense,worst where traffic is sparse. It issaid that in Christchurch, where ope-rating costs are low, ordinary ser-vices running every fifteen minutes oroftener pay their way, while less fre-quent services, having to spread thesame standing charges over fewer pas-sengers at similar fares, cannot be

1 made to pay.Many tram svstems possess lines

which do not pay, and Christchurch.for instance, which is over-trammedwith its fifty-three and a half miles oftrack, possesses several. Thev werelaid down in response to popular agi-tation for extended tram services, andhave since proved a serious tax on thesystem. Owing to the amount of capi-tal_ sunk in equipment, however, onwhich interest, etc , must be paid, butwhich would -»arn nothins if they werescrapped, le«s may be lost by operatingthose lines than would be lost by scrap-pin2 them. lienr?e the situation is re-viewed only when the rails are wornont and must either be replaced ortaken up.

It is mainly on tram routes wheretraffic is not'dense enough to moketrams pay, and on routes where no

tram equipment is available, that thefuture of transport is most in ques-tion. Manifestly there can be no jus-tification on business grounds for lay-ing down tram equipment where thetraffic is insufficient to meet the costsof running trams. Here the buses withtheir great flexibility and mobilityand their lighter standing chargeshave a great advantage, and it mustbe recognised that for pioneering orsparse traffic, they are more suitablethan trams. But the bus operators de-sire freedom to compete without re-striction against the trams; the tramsmeet this competition to some extentwith their own buses, which may in-volve them in further losses, and presßfor regulation to maintain the trans-port monopoly to which they havebeen accustomed.

But other developments are possible,and at the present time particular in-terest attaches to proposals to experi-ment with trolley buses, rather thanreplace rails on routes where lines areworn out. Trolley buses are roughlymotor buses driven by electric powertaken from {he existing overhead wire.They need overhead equipment, butno rails, and have ample lateral mobil-ity to observe the ordinary rules ofthe road. They should therefore occas-ion less congestion th#n the tram. Inaddition their costs of operation areless than for trams, and they are easilycontrolled, flexible, smooth, and silentin operation. In Britain, where petrolis much cheaper than in New Zealand,they have proved cheaper to run thanpetrol buses. In New Zealand theiradvantage should be greater for theywould use cheap electricity of homeproduction, while petrol buses mustuse expensive and heavily taxed petrolimported from overseas. Should trol-ley buses prove economical and popu-lar here, as they have proved in Bri-tain, they should supersede trams, asopportunity arises, on the lighter traf-fic routes, and it is possible that theymay prove the most suitable form oftransport for all, and so provide thesolution of the tram and bus problem.

Functions of Public Authority.Though the tram versus bus ques-

tion is not the most important, it isprobably the most difficult that .trans-port authorities have to decide. Oneparty claims that the trams belong tothe people, and that if they lose moneythe ratepayers must meet the deficit.They, state that the best service canbe given only under conditions of mono-poly; that bus competition skims thecream of the traffic and involves tramsin losses without giving correspondingservices, and that competition alsoleads to speeding and other dangerouspractices. They claim that the tramsseek to give service rather than tomake profits, that they have pioneeredroutes at heavy cost and should beprotected until that cost has been met,and that the trams are indispensableand must either be protected againstcompetition or become a burden on thera OnTheS 'other side it is pointed outthat the tram's chief difficulties are due,like those of mnay other businesses, tomistaken policy in the Paßt -

have been in many cases over-expiandedand over-capitalised, and they havesunk capital in lines which are notself-supporting. Like other busmessesthey may be taught to direct their pol-icy more wisely by having to meet thepenalties of their own mistakes. Fur-ther it is said that the public are en-titled to select from competing ser-vices the form of transport they pre-fer—if the buses cannot get sufficienttraffic to make the operation pay. theymust be withdrawn; if the trams can-not be made to pay—or rather wherethev cannot be made to pay, for thereis 'little question that theyin the central areas—they also shouldbe withdrawn.

Much more might be said toboth these points of view. It,task of authority to decidethem and in doing so they are likely toemploy the political art of compromise.Thev will probably take the view, first,

that no other form of street transportcan handle dense traffic as effectivelyor economically as trams, and thattrams must therefore be regarded asbest where traffic is dense, and second,that in the interests of public safety,regularity and continuity of service

and in order to encourage pioneeringtrvire and safeguard it when estab-lished s-me form of regulated monopoly

«« qua"*' -Hh «»

this eeneral view, but it would he amistake for our authoriti ..

to accept the principle that public*°

t£Jrises must, because they arenublic. be protected aeamst competi-tion Tt is notorious that public enter "

are particularly tonublic clamour, and that most he""

bncmpss difficulties can be traced tonnblic agitation for extensions and=°rrices that cannot be made to pay.The onlv practical test of the value„ f nriT transport service is what thepublic are willine to nav for that ser-vice With private enternrise so ac-

tive' and the future somewhat uncer-tain public bodies should examine

projects very critically before under-taking" further extensions. Where newservices are initiated, private enter-prise is more suitable than publicenterprise for pioneering development.For large public enterprises have im-posed upon them detailed regulationsand routine methods, and if they failto pay the losses fall upon the public.Private enterprise must suffer its ownlosses, and the desire to avoid lossstimulated initiative, energy, and effi-ciency. The public have much to gainfrom tli«> development of less costly,more efficient, and more convenientmeans of transport such as may beprovided by trolley or petrol buses,and, whatever regulations are imposed,the greatest possible scope and encour-agement should be given for their de-velopment.

The regulation of tram and bus traf-fic is, however, only a part, and aminor part, of the duty of trafficauthorities The first function of pub-lic authority is undoubtedly the provis-ing of the most suitable roads for thetraffic to be carried. The advent ofdense motor traffic has undotißtedlyadded to the expense of providing suchroads. In the present changed condi-tions it is doubtful whether trams aresecuring justice under the require-ments for road maintenance imposedupon them when they were established

While it is fair that motor transportshould pay a share of the cost ofroads, it must be recognised that im-proved transport facilities benefit rate-payers in rising land values and busi-nesses and householders in greaterconvenience, and hence it would be un-fair to impose the whole of the in-creased costs on motor interests. Itwould be interesting to compute theaverage annual cost of road construc-tion and maintenance in the Dominionover a period of years before the motorbecame an important factor on theroads, to add to that cost an allow-ance for the present higher price leveland for the increase in population,and then, regarding this total provis-ionally as a fair exaction from non-motor interests, to subtract it fromthe present total road costs and com-pare the remainder with the taxationpaid by motorists. Published returnsdo not permit such a comparison to bemade, but they suggest that motortransport is carrying an unduly heavyshare of the burden, and that somespecial motor taxation has been im-posed with views other than the fairdistribution of the increased expenseof road construction and maintenance.

The second function of public author-ity is such regulation of traffic as willensure public safety. Safety regula-tions include traffic control at busyintersections, prohibition of parkingin bnsy streets, rules of the road andregulations regarding speeds, lights,brakes, etc. The general rule for suehregulation is that they should not in-terfere with reasonable custom, butshouM be such as all reasonable peoplewill recognise, accept, and observe.Moreover, no regulation should bemade unless its observance can be gen-erally enforced. A regulation not ob-served is a source of danger ratherthan of safety, and breeds contemptrather than respect for the law.

In making such regulations, too, thechief aim should be the provision ofthe greatest facility for movement oftransport, combined with the fullestmeasure of public safety. The de-marcation of the spheres of tram, bus,and other forms of transport is anotherissue, and not the principal one. Itmay be wisest to grant some protec-tion to established concerns, either pri-vately or publicly-owned, but it shouldnot be forgotten that urban transportis undergoing some transition thateffective transport u jiW to P^ 1C

welfare, and that the f»Ueßt °P*?r;tunity should therefore be given forsuch developments, modifications, andexperiments In will'lead to progressiveimprovement in the transport system.

MEDIAEVAL TRAVEL.

ADDRESS BY MISS HAWAftlk

A meeting of the New Zealand Bit*torieal Association (Canterbury Braaeh>wai held at Canterbury Collage Im®evening, when Miss Haward, M A., pnan address on Mediaeval Traveller* uJExplorers. Mr Ferris, who took thechair in the absem-e of Dr. Higfct, ex-plained that this was the last oftiiilion which Miss Haward would be p**-sent, as she was shortly retnraimg t#England.

j In opening her address Miss Htwsraexplained that underlying mediaevaltravel there was always the Toriaginstinct, which was never completelycrushed out. That instinct still exist*to-day. In mediaeval times it was »e----ticeable mainly among pilgrims and Cru-saders. The instinct seemed t» b» »

permanent one in human iatu*» h"rtapart from that the popular appeal «fthe Crusaders was tremendous. U»number who took part ii the Ci|Htewas astounding, and there were said tobe 600,000 in the first Crusade. It wmcertain that only a fraction of all tinswho set out ever reached their goal aaifewer returned home.

The chief effect of the Crna«iea mmthe minds of men was that it Mh

' them realise the reality and spteadewrlof the East. They also made the swr-chants of Italy look to the Bast aa asource of commerce. The merchants laiformerly brought all sorts of Easter*goods on to the European markets. Ha*at the end of the 11th ceatary tkmItalians were also able to control thetermini ports in Asia Minor, aad eeawinto direct contact with the earavaae atthe East. It was also fairly eertaiathat the merchants waxed fat by fleec-ing the Crusaders.

As a result of this intercoms theeyes of the Western world were tenmore continuously to the Kast. Tradafelooked into this forbidden ltad I—g-ingly, but were not able to peaetrafceinto Asia at all. Between the Mediter-ranean ports and far Eastern laadsstretched the Empire of the Tvrka aadthis was a hopeless barrier to the Chris-tians. In the 13th century this •fcjsctwas suddenly removed, aad the far Bmlthrown open to Europeans. This *e*e»-al was due to the remarkable TartarEmpire, which overspread Chiaa, Per-sia, Russia, part of Syria, and pirt efPalestine. It was said that the BarnesEmpire was a midget in comparison withthe Tartar Empire. It was an Empirewhich embraced all sorts and coedltleasof peoples, and was one of the meetremarkable that has ever •Tilted _

The Mongols encouraged friendly in-tercourse with Europeans. They had a*excellent and safe road system, whieaextended across the whole of Asia, aalwhich enabled travellers to go ia poaeaand comfort.

There were two classes of tranlbnwho took the Eastern roads. First, thanwere merchants such as Marco PrifcRegular provision was made for tboi inthe cities of Cathay and hand-books •>

the languages and customs of the FarEast were published in Italy. The h(Mclass of travellers were miasionariee,who went on their journeys very nas-tily equipped, in contrast to the mer-chants. Their efforts to convert Asiato Christianity were not marked by anygreat sueeess.

Both these classes of travellers wete_agreed that the splendour of the East-ern Empire far outshone that of Italyor Europe. Both Marco Polo and aFrenchman, William of Bubruek, hadleft interesting accounts of the cowtaand cities of the various Khans of Tar-tary. In particular they praised thepostal system by whi r h a message cooldbe sent from one end of the Empire tothe other in ten days.

The fall of the Tartar Empire iathe fourteenth century meant tie clos-ing of the East for more than fin hun-dred years. The Turks again closed allland routes, but the result of this wasincreased activity in navigation leadingto the discovery of America, aad feeCape route to the East, by Yaseo iaGama.

' Red Fuchsia (A. McDoanld) and Lo-carno (P. Adams) were associated in aninteresting task over four hardies, eachgiving a clean and fast display.

Mimo (T). Hall), Zeuxis (E. Shaw),and Grand National (I. Tilson) finishedin that order after jumping a round ofthe hurdles. The first-named jumpedboldly throughout, while Zeuxis alsomade a promising showing. GrandNationaleffort was not impressive.,

Antrim Bov (W. Cooper) and Bar-rington ("A. S. Ellis) followed, thelatter giving the Letter exhibition.

Uralla (F. Foster), Alarie (A. Mc-Donald), and JBirkbeck (M. Nicoll) weredispatched together to negotiate a roundof tho country, lint spectators wereagain disappointed. Uralla jumped thefirst two fences carelessly, and thenslowed down at the of the Ken-nels Doublo, but scrambled over andrepeated the performance at tho second.Hhe then stopped at the sod wall threetimes, and was brought back. Alariealso made a faulty jump at the firstof the Kennels Double, and dislodged!'is rider, who later remounted him.He jumped the brush in the straight,hut refused to jump Cutts's, and healso was not persevered with. Birk-bcek was thus loft to complete thecourse alone, and he gave a splendiddisplay, his jump at Cutts's warrant-ing special mention. Uralla, who hadbeen put over a hurdle prior to goingon the course proper, was afterwardstaken to the steeplechase schoolingtrack and was got round safely, butshowed no liking for the work. Herrider stated subsequently that she wouldtake on the big fences on the day, butfrom what has been seen of her inher two efforts, track watchers willnot feel inclined to show- much con-fidence in her.

Whifller (K. Shaw) gave another care-ful display over two hurdles.

Bon Aryan (I. Tilson) and Tara-lrioa (O. Dempster) jumped a roundof tho inside country, tha former regis-tering a much better performance thanhis companion, who has yet a lot tolearn at the game.

Horomea (R, Ryme) and Mangani(H. Dtilieu) were again associated ina circuit over the hurdles. Horomeajumped well throughout, and showed tomuch better advantage than Mangani,who did not repeat the form he dis-played in a similar task with Horomeaon Tuesday.

Lord Ranald (\V. Scoliie) negotiatedtwo ruunds of the inside steeplechasefence*. With a lack of pace and com-pany, lit; did not jump at all well, andbeing allowed to slow down at thedouble in front of the stand, he crossedthe fences in moderate hunting style.No notice, however, need be taken ofthe performance, which was only on apar with that exacted from him priorto last Saturday's race.

Glendowie put in an appearance incharge of A. Rhodes later in tho fore-noon for the purposo of being schooledover a round of the main country. TheKennels Double had to be omitted owingto the llrst fence being under repairafter Uralla'a bad jump earlier in themorning. Olendowie, with 11. Dulieu inthe saddle, jumped tho first three hurdleswell but slowly, and as a result ofnot much pace being on, he stopped atthe straight entrance brush. Ho clearedthe obstacle in the second attempt, andcompleted the work by executing asplendid effort over Cutts's. Althoughconsidering the horse would have donebettor at a faster gait, his trainer wassatisfied with the display, and hopes tobe able to start him before the Meetingconcludes.

The Canterbury Jockey Club havereceived very satisfactory final pay-ments for the Grand National Steeple-chase, Winter Cup, and GrandNational Hurdle Raoe, and the fieldspromise to be well up to the standardof previous years. Glendowie andUrail a arc notable absentees from thebig steeplechase, but their defectionwas not unexpected on the face of theirdisappointing preparation. The fieldof eight left (the same number as lastyear) represent good class and includelast year's winner, Wiltshire, and re-cent victors in other parts in Kawini,King's Guard, Maunga, Fabriano, andLord Ranald.

In regard to the Winter Cup thecancellation of Lady Limond's engage-ment would not be welcome to thelarge number who have been singingher nvaisea for some weeks, and evi-dently something serious must havehappened to her to bring about herwithdrawal All the other fanciedcandidates remain and there is everyprospect of one of the keenest contestsin the history of the popular event.

The Grand National Hurdle Racehas filled with the best representationof New Zealand's hurdlers, and againracegoers can look forward to a memor-able race on the second day of themeeting.

The acceptances for the remainingevents on tlie first day's card are prac-tically of the same proportions as forlast year, a pleasing feature being thenumber of horses engaged from allparts of New Zealand. Provided fineweather conditions are experienced, theclub seems assured of a most success-ful gathering.

TRENTHAM NOTES

[THB F&BSS SpMUI

WELLINGTON, August 8.At Trenthaoi this morning, the trial

grass provided heavy going for fastwork.

Quantum took 1.23 for six furlongs,aiia did it well. Otaura Lass andBlack Mint, over the same journey,took 1.27. The former finished infront. '

On the sand, Tcheka, Pat's Boy, andTourist finished as named at the endof six furlongs in 1.17. Thurnbell wassuperior to Matu over a mile in 1.46}.All these horses go down to Riecartonto-morrow night.

Rangi Sarto, Aurora Borealis,Shortly, and Courageous were shippedsouth to-night.

TROTTING NOTES.

In anticipation of fast work at Ad-dington yesterday, a good crowd as-sembled to watch proceedings, but sel-dom at such a time befoie an import-ant meeting has track work been sodeadly dull. On the course proper onlytwo items of interest are to be recorded,while a big number of horses did halfto three-quarter pace work on the out-side track. These included Glidewav,who went a mile and a half very pleas-ingly at a good speed. Western Voyage,Lingfield, Maiwhariti, Logan Park,Wilma Dillon, Young Blake, Tonic-, andNelson McCormack. All were workedin harness, and with the exception ofGlideaway and .Nelson McCormack allworked without the hopples. \V. J-Tomkinson's horses are all in goodfettle, and the Addington trainer isnot anxious to put them to very exact-ing tasks at this stage.

Of the little work that was doneon the course proper, the star item wasprovided by Native Prince (J. S. Shaw)aud Trimmer (D. Bennett), who wereraced over a mile. From a flying startNative Prince took the lead, and he seta good solid pace all the way. Trim-mer made a big effort to overhaul Na-tive Prince in the straight, but thelatter passed the post with a good ad-vantage in time that is not often ex-celled on even the Addington track. Itwas a fine effort, and allowing for thefact that the track was very fast, itmust be remembered that the work wasdone on the outside of the trestles. Thismeans that the horses covered a gooddeal more than a mile, and possibly theperformance can be regarded as some-thing like three seconds better than theactual time registered. Native Princefinished in great style, and his perform-ance has brought him into favour forthe big two mile race on Saturday. Inci-dentally he is also engaged in the Inter-national Handicap of one mile. Trimmerfinished some lengths behind the win-ner, but a repetition of his performanee will find him prominent in theBelwyn Handicap, of a mile and a quar-ter.

Locanda Boy, Nighbom, Nelson Boy,and Carmel set off to run a mile anda half, the last-named standing theothers up a good start. Locanda Boyhit the pace along from the start, andafter half a mile had been covered De-lightful joined in. Down the back thesecond time Locanda Boy had a leadof ten lengths, but at this stage Carmelwent away from the others, and gradu-ally bridged the gap. Full of runninghe finished, and he had Loeanda Boywell beaten as the post was reached,while Nighboru was close up. Theshowing of Carmel was only what trackwatchers expected, for the Aucklandpacer has earned a lot of friends sincehis arrival at headquarters. He appearsto be a rare stayer, and he is in greatcondition. Locanda Boy made quite agood showing, considering the fact thatthe track is hard and be is very sore,and Nighborn merely confirmed thegood work he has been doing of late.Delightful was not out for serious busi-ness, and he made no attempt to gowith Carmel over the latter part of thejourney.

Nelson McKinney, driven by J. S.Shaw, went a mile and a quarter nonetoo steadily, and Audobell (¥. G.Holmes) broke repeatedly during hiswork-out.

Logan Hanlon, who looks very well,was indulged in strong work with anoccasional sprint, and the same workwas allotted Kiowa, who is improving.Both these horses should run well atthe meeting.

Vesuvius was indulged in ■aasy workand Cannonball made several mistakeswhen being sent along at a good pace.

Dilworth and Great Delight arrivedfrom the north yesterday.

The American-bred stallion Brigand,by Belwin (son of McKinney), fromLisetta May, has been retired from therace track and will stand the seasonat Mr J. Lorgelly's farm, New Brigh-ton.

Mr Goo. McMillan, owner of DundasBoy, Bingen Starr, and Co., will arrivefrom Auckland to-day, to see his horsesrace at Addington during the nextweek.

S. A. Edwards, who has been con-fined to his bed with influenza, isabout again, and will bo riding anddriving at Addington this week. Ed-wards is one of the most accomplishedhorsemen in New Zealand, and hisservices, especially in saddle races, arealways in demand.

Zella, a chestnut niaro by Huia Dil-lon from Fair Puritan, has done practi-cally all her racing in the North Island,but for some time past she has beentrained by J. Bryce, who will drivehor at the coming Meeting. She isengaged in the Trial Handicap onSaturday, and though opposed to alot of fast-improving horses, she is ex-pected to make a good showing. Inher early racing last season she showedno form and started eight times with-out gaining any place monay. At theWellington Meeting in February shewon the Au Revoir Handicap, of twomiles, in impressive style in 4.47 4-5,and she then finished second toRichorein the Manawata Cup, her time being4.39 1-6. At the Taranaki Meetingin April she annexed the FarewellHandicap, of a mile and a quarter, in2.54 2-6, after Carmel had been dis-qualified for crossing. Zella is a goodeort of mare, a chestnut in colour, sixyears old, and previously 6he wastrained by R. C. Alexander at Pal-merston North.

If Trimmer's track work could betaken as a correct indication of hisability to race, then one would not beprepared to look further for the win-ner of the Selwyn Handicap at Adding-ton on Saturday. He is not very re-liable in his races, however; be can-not be driven with a whip, and he isjust as likelv to quit when expected torace on. He has a fast two milesrecord against him and is one of thebest track workers at Addington.

M. B. Edwards will be representedby several horses on the opening dayof the New Zealand Metropolitan T.C.'sMeeting, including Sarsaparilla, BlackAdmiral, Native Star, and WesternKing, but he oould not fancy Mercuryor Mate o' Mine winning races andhe allowed them to forfeit their en-gagements. Sarsaparilla has beenSoing along well in his work, and the

lallin horse would only need to dohis best from the start to have a groatchance in the Stewards' Handicap. Heis as unreliable as they are made, audtherefore not a good racing proposition.Black Admiral is not improving, s*ndthough Western King has a torrentof speed he is not the ideal racehorse,while Native Starr is engaged amongstthe pacers in the Queen Mary Handi-cap, and in this respect she will beat a disadvantage.

During a visit to Australia recentlyM. B. Edwards secured two additionsto his team, and they are now quar-tered in the Yaldhurst stables. Oneis a five-yenr-old gelding by Adonisfrom May Highwood, and therefore ahalf-brother to a good performer inDelaran's Quest, raced in New Zealandby P. Riddle. This gelding has uo per-formances. The other is the eight-year-old gcld'ng Mat Voyage, by FirstVoyage, and has a mile and a halfrecord of 3.46 against him.

At a meeting of the CanterburyOwner*' and Breeders' Association onWednesday, it was reported that ar-rangements were well in hand for theannua) reunion of members, which isto take place on Monday next. It wasstated that trophies would be presentedto the following:—W. J. Tomkinson,leading reinsman and trainer, gold-mounted whip, presented by Mr T.G. Fox, silver cup, presented by Mr

J R. MoKenzie, and gold-mountedwhip, presented by Mr J. W. Trist:J. S. Shaw, second in list of winningtrainers and drivers, whip, presentedby Mr C. H. Piper, racing bridle, pre-sented by Mr G. F.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

"Tliis year already seventy-six donationshare been made to the society, and severalmore are expected to come in. It show*a. keen interest in oar displays," said thechairman, Mr O. W. B. Anderson, at lastevening's meeting of the Canterbury Horti-cultural Society. The meeting was the firstheld this season, and the large membershipwas well represented.

An interesting exhibition of floweringshrubs, including acacias and other Aus-tralian plants, wu made by Professor Mac-mil Un Brown. Mrs Ivory, Mr Bradley, andMr R. Nairn. After the meeting an oppor-tunity was given members to identify plants,of the names of which they might be indoubt.

Two lecturers addressed the meeting dur-ing the evening.

Mr Barnett, Superintendent of City Re-serves, spoke on herbaceous plants, and MrS. Frew on the cultivation of domesticorchards.

"Many people have rock-lined paths,"said Mr Barnett, "yet few of them realisethat the niches between the stones make anideal planting ground for snowdrops andother small Sowers. It improves an at-tractive garden."

In his address the lecturer said that manypeople neglected one part of the gardenfor another. They should be very particu-lar to have neat paths and borders. Theselatter wou a grow better in the shade oftrees or of walls.

Mr Barnett was thanked for his graphicand interesting lecture.

CRICKET.NEW ZEALAND COUNCIL.

MEETING OF DELEGATES.

A meeting of delegates to the NewZealand Cricket Council was held lastnight, Mr <T. S. Barrett presiding inthe absence of Mr A. T. Donnelly.

Mr E. R. Caygill, on behalf of theManagement Committee, reported thatthe committee had considered itselffortunate in securing the services ofMr W. H. Winsor as secretary in iheplace of the late Mr J. F. Peake. Theposition of treasurer had been filledby Mr D. E. Wankiyn, who was a de-cided acquisition. At the end of lastseason an attempt was made to securea visit from Chapman's men from Aus-tralia, but unfortunately it e:;me tonothing and the matter lapsed. However,Mr Chapman visited New Zealand andwas entertained by the committee inChristchurch. The exchange of viewsresulting was advantageous. From theImperial point of view the Council wasvery fortunate in being represented byLord Jellicoe and Mr H. C. Swann. MrA. C. Sims had returned to the Do-minion. For the first time the commit-tee had been called upon to adjudicatein the awarding of the Plunket Shield.The shield had been awarded to Auck-land, who had undoubtedly earned it.

Referring -to the English team, MrCaygill said that it would include atleast eight professionals. There wouldalso be such "drawing cards" as A.Gilligan (captain), Duleepsinhji, andF. E. Woolley. Australia was co-operat-ing in the very best arrangements, thatcould be made. During the last fewmonths the question of a New Zealandteam going to England in 1931 had beenmoote<l. That matter, however, wouldexercise their minds at a later date.

Referring to the visit of the M.C.C.team to New Zealand, Mr W. H. Win-ported that as far as the major Asso-ciations were concerned, no definite re-plies had been received from Otagoand Canterbury. With regard to theminor Associations, Wairarapa, Hawke s

Bay, Manawatu, Rangitikei, Nelson,and Waikato had agreed to matches.It was felt that the tour had beenarranged economically and on the rightlines generally, and so far none of theAssociations had turned the Councildown.

It was decided to refer the matterto the Management Committee.

TOUR OF ENGLAND.

N.Z. TEAM FOR 1931.

Last night's meeting of delegates tothe New Zealand Cricket Council de-cided to approve the sending of aNew Zealand cricket team to Englandin 1931, provided the ManagementCommittee can see its way clear onthe question of finance.

Mr E. B. Caygill said that it wouldnot be difficult to secure a fair sprink-iag of the players who went to Englandin 1927. The question, however, wasmainly one of finance. Leading Englishauthorities had expressed the opinionthat New Zealand was entitled to aTest match on its next tour of Eng-land. The New Zealand team would notbe the only outside team in Englandin 1931, as the Indian team would beat Home also.

Mr T. W. Reese said that there wasno donbt that the tour would be bene-

PARLIAMENT.#

FINANCIAL DEBATE.

day of manv speeches.

.! RE«S ASS-.'CIMICV TILKGEAM )

\VI:LLIXGTON", August S.In the House of Representatives to-

day the following Bills were intro-duced and re.'id a first time:—Boroughof Lvttelton Corporation Enabling Bill(Mr Mi' Combs , Wellington City MilkSupply Amendment Bill (Mr W. J. Pol-son

The Financial debate was resumed bySir C-orge Hunter, who said he hadheard from several landowners who saidthat if legislation indicated in theBudget were to come into force it wouldbe impossible for them to continue inoccupation of their land.

In regard to railway construction hesaid members of the Opposition werenot opposed to railway construction, butwere of the opinion that nothing shouldbe undertaken until investigation haddisclosed that it would be a payableproposition.

He urged the extension of the schooldental clinic service to children in

[ outlying districts, and said he was ofopinion that instead of initiating theservice in the cities and gradually work-ing out to the backblocks, a startshould have been made in the latterdistricts, with the extension proceedingin the direction of the cities. He con-sidered that this would not have beensuch a slow process as working backto the outlying areas.

Us then referred to hydro-electricpower. The profit on these schemes lastyear had amounted to £500,000. Therehad been complaints of excessivecharges for the supply of hydro-electricpower, and he hoped that in future itwould be found possible to reduce itscost, and at the same time provide ex-tended facilities for its use.

Land Purchases.Mr T. Makitanara (U., Southern

Maori) outlined the Government's stepsin the direction of advances tosettlers and workers, and stated thatif Opposition members who criticisedthe nature of loans had had any com-plaints from people who had had ad-vances, they should come forward withthem. Referring to land settlement, hesaid had the present Minister forLands not stood his ground and refusedto pay the exorbitant prices demanded,he would have fallen into the sametrap as the Reform Party had. MrMakitanara said the Government couldnot pay more than the actual produc-tive value of the land, and it had notlost sight of that fact. It was notonly bad business to pay inflated prices,but it also seriously injured the pros-pects of settlers. In conclusion, MrMakitanara urged vigorous developmentof tourist traffic.

The Government's Finance.Mr H. G. R. Mason (Lab., Eden) criti-

cised the increased primage duty, andsaid the estimated amount which thePrime Minister stated he expected togain from this source was based oncalculations for part of the year only,and it therefore gave the burden alighter appearance than the peoplewould actually have to bear.

Ho went on to speak of the refer-ences to the Loudon loan transactions.He said it appeared that the PrimeMinister, on ascertaining that the ad-vice of the Treasury officials as topossible hardening of the loan marketin London was utterly inconsistent withanything he had imagined, or had ledthe country to believe, had thenhis statement on the subject. He hadlater on, being pressed for details, madetoo much of the fact that the docu-ment was marked confidential. So manydocuments were marked con thatit did not appear that the mystifica-tion which had characterised this sub-ject in the earlv stages had been justi-fied. Mr Mason added that it seemedto him that Sir Joseph Ward badbased his promises of cheap money onvery little knowledge of market con-ditions. ,*�!,-

Dealing with the proposal of t&eMinister for Education to give educa-tion "ail agricultural bias," the speakersaid he favoured encouraging agricul-ture in all forms, but he hoped it wasnot going to bo forced on to children.He considered education should beplanned on a broad basis, and shouldgive pupils every chance to developalong the lines to which they were mostadapted.

Duty of Governing Party.Mr C. E. Macmillan (R., Tauranga)

also criticised the Prime Minister'sstatement on the subject of Londonloans, and stated that there had been noproof whatever of the inference that itwas because of some obscure action onthe part of the previous Minister forFinance that it had been impossible toobtain money at 4} per cent. Mr Mac-millan expressed the opinion that in-creased taxation was unnecessary, andwould create a nervous state, resultingin still more capital being locked up.He said the United Party had claimedit had a mandate to carry ont certainproposals, but in his opinion the factthat there was no Party with a clearmajority in the House indicated that noParty had a mandate. It was the dutyof whatever side held the Treasurybenches to see that the country waswell and economically governed. Hesuggested the United Party should "putits pride in its pocket, and refer itsrailway proposals to a Select Committeeof the House for a thorough investi-gation.''

Secondary Industries.Mr 11. R. Jenkins (U., Parnell) de-

fended the Government's taxation pro-posals, and stated that it was soundpolicy to employ taxation to providemoney for public works. He would liketo sec the system again reviewed nextyear with the object of reducing thecompany tax to give the smaller mana chance, and calling on wealthy share-holders to contribute more to the re-quirements of the country. He alsorecommended an increased fee for hotellicenses. In regard to the developmentof secondary industries, be thought anattempt should be made to producemotor spirit from our own raw mate-rial, and tar products from our coal foruse on Xew Zealand roads. These stepswould do a good deal in the direction ofrestoring the trade balance with theUnited States. The possibilities of thewood pulp industry had been empha-sised, and he suggested the utilisationof streams and waterfalls, whichabounded in the country, to providenitrates and other products for the nseof our farmers, and for export. Thedevelopment of the fruit and vegetable

! industries should remove the necessity

1 for importations of canneu goods of thisl kind, and that was another direction mI which the country should progress.

bers of the Opposition as to the desira-bilitv of the construction of thePaeroa-Pokeno raihvny and he thonght,i,o Government might vet do some-thing in tL.»t locality.

Mr Jenkins supported the Govern-ment's railway policy on the ground

that it would be of great service tofarmers, particularly for the purposeor transferring stock. In view of theheavy motor traffic of the present timeit was difficult to drive stock by day,ana it was nowbeing sought to pro-hibit driving them by night.

A Labour Member.Mr 11. T. Armstrong (Labour, C'hrist-

chureh East) claimed that there wasnothing in the Budget to indicate thatany steps v.ould be taken to improvethe lot of the working people, and hecontended that the reward of theworker had not bv any means increasedat the same rate as production. It couldnot be denied that labour applied toraw material produced wealth, and itwas unsatisfactory to observe thatwhile in recent years the production ofwealth had doubled, wages had not ap-proached that increase. It was notlack of production but a fairer distribu-tion of things that were produced thatwould improve conditions throughoutthe country. The Reform Party hadserved the interests of the people hold-ing a land monopoly, and the "UnitedGovernment was serving the peopleholding a commercial monopoly, andthere could never be a real solution ofthe economic problem by either of theseParties so long as they represented sec-tions whose interests were opposed tothose of the mass of the people. Un-employment was the most serious prob-lem of to-day. If war broke out to-morrow there would be plenty ofmoney available in twenty-four hours,but although unemployment was tothose out of work at any rate as seri-ous a matter as war, we could not ob-tain money to provide work for all.It was the Government's duty to solvethis problem, but the present Govern-ment had done more to create unem-ployment than to solve the problem.In July last there were 356 fewer menon public works than there were in De-cember last, and he believed this wasthe first time there had been fewer menemployed in this quarter in winter thanin summer. He criticised the state-ment that unemployment insurancewould be introduced, perhaps next year,and asked why should the Governmentwait till next year. He did not regardunemployment insurance as a solutionof the problem but failing ability tooffer work it was the next best thing.The Government's land policy wouldhelp to absorb unemployed men, but itwould be useless, and would onlymakethe position worse to place men on landon which they had not a chance ofmaking good. They must develop oursecondary industries in an endeavour tomake the country self supporting. Heagreed with the policy of taxing largelandholders, and stated that it wouldonly affect farmers with substantialproperty. It might make matters diffi-cult for a few farmers carrying heavymortgages, but they were farming landon behalf of bankers, and should re-consider their own economic position.If the Labour Party were in power it

tax wealth to a greater degreethan it was now proposed.He hoped the Government would re-

consider the proposal to increase theprimage duty, and if it was found neces-sary to obtain more revenue, it shouldincrease the tax on large land hold-

Ho was not opposed, however,to higher duties on importations ofmotor-car 9 and other luxuries, particu-larly those coming from the UnitedStates. He regretted that the Govern-ment contemplated nothing to help thesecondary industries.

Reform Member Repels Attacks.The Hon. Mr Wright (R., Wel-

lington Suburbs) vigorously denied thestatement that the Reform Party re-presented land monopoly, and said thatthe Party had done more to combat landaggregation than any other Govern-ment. Secondary industries would nothelp to produce money for foreign bond-holders. It could come only from ourprimary industries, and it was in thatdirection that we should look for im-provement of our economic position.Mr Jenkins had stated that he favouredpaying for public works out of revenue,but Mr Wright said he thought it wasagreed by economists that capital ex-penditure—and public works must beregarded as capital expenditure—shouldalways come from loan money, so thatthe people who in the future wouldgain benefit from these works wouldbe called on to bear the cost of them.

Mr Wright claimed that the SouthIsland railway extension would not bea paying proposition, and said he couldnot accept the view that the UnitedParty had been elected on that issue.Undoubtedly the people in the elector-ates affected would have voted on thatissue, but the great body of electorsgenerally had been influenced by avariety of factors. There was a strongfeeling throughout the country thatthis railway should not be constructedwithout a better promise of success.

He replied to Mr Clinkard's referenceto the removal by the Reform Partyof the income-tax on farmers at the endof the war by stating that this was onlyin accordance with a promise given bythe National Government at the timethe tax had originally been imposed.He asserted that the Prime Minister hadfailed to carry out his promise to pro-duce money at 4$ per cent., and hadcreated a "smoke screen by laying theblame on his predecessor for an actionthat he had never taken." Mr Wrightsaid he was satisfied the ex-FinanceMinister had done nothing that had em-barrassed the present Minister, and heinsisted that Sir Joseph Ward shouldproduce "this mysterious document withwhich he has juggled." The House hada right to see the document now thatthe loan had been floated.

Mr Ransom on Farmers.The Hon. Mr Ransom (Minister for

Public Works) said his experience ofthe class of farmer to whom the in-creased taxation would apply was thatannually, or almost annually, he paid avisit to the Old Country to spend hissurplus wealth, and nearly every twoyears bought a high-priced car. MrWright had stated that the Prime Min-ister would never be able to producemoney at 4} per cent. Mr Ransom saidhe would like to feel as assured thathe would retain Cabinet rank for tenyears as he was of the Prime Minister'sobtaining eheap money in the future.The Government had been accused offailing to consider the possibilities ofthe pumice country in the Rotorua-Taupo area, but he pointed out that theMinister for Lands had provided a sumof money for the development of a verylarge portion of this country.

Mr Ransom described the proposednew tax on land as "the wool kings'tax," because he said the average sheep-farmer would not be affected, and thedairy farmers to whom it would applywouid be very few in number.

How Land Taxes Operate.He said the cost to the country of

war pensions and war debt amountedto over five millions annually, and for !over six years these wealthy land-owners had escaped paying their share.The decrease in the maximum amount ofmortgage exemption would, it had beenstated, seriously affect the poorerfarmer. lie -explained that under theold system the farmer with property ofan unimproved value of £SOOO and amortgage of £4OOO (with a mortgageexemption of £4000) would pay *axamounting to £3 19s 2d, and under thenew system his position would be thesame. A farmer with a property ofunimproved value £IO.OOO. and a mort-gage of £ 9000, would under the oldsystem (receiving £9OOO exemption)still pay only £3 19s 2d, but underthe new system his taxation in everyform would amount to £57 7s lid.Considering that the capital value ofsuch a farm was probably £20,000, he

did not think that amount "was exces-sive. The farmer with property of un-improved value of £12,000, i.e., onejust coming under the £12,500 exemp-tion from income-tax, and a mortgageof £II,OOO, would have received ex-emption for £6OOO, and would havepaid a tax of £29 13s 9d. Under thenew scheme, with no exemption at all,he would have to pay £73 12s 6d, andeven then would probably be more com-fortably off than the farmer with pro-perty valued .iust above the £12,500mark. It had been ascertained thatof the 80,000 farmers of the Dominion,only 2200 would be affected by the newmortgage exemption proposals.

In regard to the primage tax theMinister said he would like to haveseen the increase avoided, but hethought everyone would be agreeable tobear a share of the country's effort torestore the balance. The actual costto the country would amount to only2s lid per head, and that could notbe considered a heavy charge.Mr Ransom had not concluded hisspeech when the Bouse adjourned at10.30 p.m. till 10.30 to-morrow morning.

[THE PRESS Special Serrics.]

} DUNEDIX. August 8.j I urther investigations by the police

| iuto the circumstances in whichi ®orothv Brauman was shot by her hus-band, William Henry Brauman, on St.Clair Esplanade at about 8 o'clock lastnight, disclose a tragic history offamily dissension and paternal jealousy.

Mrs Brauman and her daughter Olivespent the whole of yesterday together.After visiting a relative in the publichospital, they had tea and then met ayoung man. They were on the Esplan-ade when another man friend drove upin a motor-car and after chatting fora few minutes invited them to go fora ride in his car. Shortly after So'clock they returned to the Esplanadewhere the driver of the car left them.

The three remained on the Esplanadetalking together, and while there theynoticed Brauman pass some distanceaway. They remained where they were,and presently Brauman returned. Swing-ing round upon them as he was aboutto pass, he seized his wife by thearm, passing some remark to her, andbefore either of the younger peoplewas aware of his intention he haddrawn a revolver and fired point blankinto his wife's right .ear. Death wasinstantaneous, and Mrs Brauman, whowas half leaning against the railing,fell a distance of about nine feet onto a pile of rocks on the beach below.The daughter ran screaming to the resi-dence of Mr F. O. Bridgeman, whereMrs was employed as house-keeper.

Brauman stepped back into the road-way and the young man rushed athim, only to be stopped by the revolverlevelled at his chest. He stopped, andBrauman suddenly lifted the weapon tohis own head and fired, the bullet miss-ing his brain and passing from his righttemple through the base of the eye andout under his chin. Brauman thencollapsed, and dropping the revolver,fell across the narrow footpath.

Olive Brauman meanwhile hadreached the residence of Mr Bridgeman,which is occupied during the absenceof the owner by his son Charles andA. Holland. Holland was alone inthe house at the time, and had heard jthe girl scream when her mother was ,shot. He did not pay any attention,however, but hearing the second re-port, he went to the front door wherehe met Olive. The girl was terrified, Iand telling him that Brauman hadkilled her mother, she said: ' Don

_

t gooutside, he's still down there with therevolver." He took the girl inside thehouse, but did not go outside as she

prevented him from leaving.After Brauman had collapsed the

young man ran to an adjoining boar -

ing-house, where be telephoned for thepolice. The inmates had not heard the

screams or shots, and he had difficulty

in convincing them that a tragedy hadoccurred. When the police arrived onthe scene Brauman was conscious, anawas sitting on the footpath moaning

and holding his hands to his head. His

condition appeared to be serious, andthe ambulance was summoned. Ahe

injured man was quickly conveyed tothe Hospital, but after falling uncon-scious during the journey, he recoveredconsciousness before being admitted tothe institution.

Until a year ago the Brauman familyresided in Invercargill, where Braumanwas engaged as a land agent. Domes-tic trouble occurred, however, and thehome was broken op, Mrs Brauman andthe three younger children coming toOtago. She obtained a position ashousekeeper at Mosgiel, where she re-mained for six months. Subsequently jshe removed to Dunedin, where she has jheld various positions in domestic ser-vice. Her daughter Olive is also en-gaged in service.

Three months ago, as the result ofthe interference of her husband, MrsBrauman had applied to the Court fora separation order. Brauman had at-tempted to defend the action, but hadfinally agreed to the order. This didnot, however, close the episode. Sixweeks later Mrs Brauman again appliedto the Court, asking this time thathe should be ordered to provide suretiesto keep the peace, on the ground thathe had struck her, and at other timeshad threatened to harm her. Evidencewas given that Brauman had molestedhis wife, following her about wherevershe went. If she spoke to any malefriends he came clong and ordered themto go away. On one occasion he struckher two severe blows on the head. TheMagistrate adjourned the case on con-dition that Brauman kept away fromhis wife. If he annoyed her the casecould be brought up again, he said, andBrauman could be imprisoned.

The inquest on Mrs Brauman wasopened to-day before the Coroner, MrJ. R. Bartholomew, and after evidenceof identification had been given was ad-journed sine die. A post-mortem ex-amination was held yesterday afternoon.

Enquiry at the Hospital this eveningrevealed "that Brauman's condition wasnot critical, but was still unchanged.The wounds are not expected to provefatal, but some time will elapse beforehe will be able to take part in the legalproceedings resulting from the tragedy.It is understood that a serious opera-tion will also be necessary.

THE ALL BLACKS.

MEMORABLE THIRD TEST.

A DESPERATE STRUGGLE.

(no* ovx ow* cobbespokdiitt.)

SYDNEY, August 1.So the prognostications of several

Bugby enthusiasts in Australia werecorrect. Australia was too good forthe All Black team of 1929. It may betrue that New Zealand sent across ateam of colts, with just a little stiffen-ing, but nothing can detract from themerit of the Australian win, for theAustralians bagged all three Tests afeat which no other country has suc-ceeded in doing when pitted against theredoubtable All Blacks. In their finaltriumph last Saturday the Australian®proved that they were without doubtthe better team, for in that last telling

quarter of aa hour they held their own,and Porter's guile was of no availagainst the continuous waves his sidewas called upon to meet. «®h*Vh«the first spell, it looked as though the

New Zealanders had at last come intotheir own, they were found sadly want-ing during the decisive period.

But what a desperate struggle it was,and how the vast crowd appreciated itBeaten but not disgraced! That triteterm was never more apt than when itis used in reference to the All Blacks in

that memorable third Test that isnowhistory. The crowd cheered eitherside in turn, and every eheer was war-ranted. It was sheer pace that beatthe New Zealanders in the end, ananot inferior football. There was noinferior football that day, although oneor two individuals mar uot have playedup to international standard. The P»«ewas on right from the start. In fact,the All Blacks opened with such in-

tense pace, and with such assurednessin seizing opportunities, that the Aus-tralians were swept off their feet. Theywere out to take advantage of theslightest error, and their brillianceraised the crowd to a pitch of excite-ment seldom seen at a football matchin Sydney, especially at a Rugby game.What a splendid advertisement for thegame this was!

In these intense opening moments the

All Blacks very nearly made victorycertain. They kept the tight,whereas the Australians were keen toopen it up. Interceptions and thequick gathering of dropped passesenabled New Zealand to secure a leadof eight points within the flat tenminutes. The crowd was amazed. They

had never seen football quite like this,and they cheered the New Zealanders.Every few minutes they were up ontheir toes wondering what was goingto happen next. The All Blacks seemedto be bubbling over with confidence.And everyone "ho saw the match upto this stage felt that anvictorv was certain. Bight throughthe first spell the All Blacks kept upthe pressure, playing audacious Bugby.Perhaps it was their over-eagernesswhich caused them to be penalised «ooften for offside. Many a promisingmove went for nought because of thisfault. But the fault was excusablein a way. In the first fifteen minutesthe All Blacks scored all their points.It was as though they bad gone all outin that period, and it was a remarkablefeature of the game that they aid notscore again, but permitted thelians to mount up a score that beattheirs by two points. It was Australiathat had the reserve power.

Once the Australians showed that

they were securing the upper hand thecrowd was wildly excited, for it wasclear that they had New Zealand rat-tled, and that was something they hadnot seen in a New Zealand side before.Usually the All Black teams that haveplayed here have been the personifica-tion of steadiness, but not so this team.One remembers how they lost their

heads in the first Test, when » ittlecoolness, a little collected thoughtwould have secured them victory. Itwas thought, too, that Porter would

■ have been a sobering influence, but al-I though Porter, proved himself to be aI captain of extraordinary resource, he

could not succeed in cooling the ardourI of his followers, and so P*ve the way

1 to victory. It was not until this ThirdTest that Porter made his first appear-ance in Sydney on this tour, and hewas given a wonderful reception. Hewas the greatest footballeT among a

; number of great footballers. "No onewho saw the match will forget the New

i Zealand captain's heroic and inspiringeffort," said the Sydney "Morning

Herald." He was a rover, on hand forevery movement, back in defence asoften as he was hurling himself to theattack. His great tackling, his speedin short, sharp bursts were wonderful,and after all his valiant efforts hadbeen in vain, and defeat had to beacknowledged, no one could have beenmore generous in appreciation of hisconquerors. A foeman to be admired!He set the seal on his fame, and therewas no sign that his career as a leader,or as a rover of exceptional ability,should end." Sueh, indeed, is only oneof the remarkable tributes that havebeen paid to Porter, who seems to beregarded here as a sort of super-foot-baller—a man apart.

Once again the All Blacks were ex-tremely unfortunate in having to takethe field in such a vital match withoutthe services of Dalley, Oliver, andNepia, all of whom proved their ster-ling worth on this tour. Whether theirpresence would have turned the scaleis a matter of conjecture, and hardly

f worth arguing, but it does seem morethan likely that if the All Blaeks hadbeen at their full strength In all theirmatches there would have been a dif-ferent tale to tell. Assuredly fortunehas sot favoured the All Blacks, butthey will return home eontent in theknowledge that they have done thegaajfe a good turn. Australia's suceessshould seal the future of Bugby inAustralia, and it cannot do any harmto New Zealand. Already the Aus-tralians are talking of future contestswith New Zealand, and critics are dis-cussing the nature of the team thatmust be sent to New Zealand if Aus-tralia is to retain the laurels it hasgathered this year. And Australia islooking forward with the keenest inter-est to the promised visit of the Englishteam next year, and the matches inNew Zealand will be followed with asmuch interest as those that are playedhere.

Lilburne came out of the game withan added reputation. He has provedhimself a fine player. Fast, elusive,and essentially a deep thinker, Lilburnerivalled his captain in this respect. Hissplendid kicking got his side out oftrouble over and over again. Of theothers Grenside and Stringfellow wereoutstanding. Grenside was a most de-termined winger, and Stringfellow wasalways quick to profit by mistakes. Itwas to Stringfellow's credit that hewas one of the most carefully markedmen among the All Blaeks. Of course,this cramped his style to a considerable .degree, but he waa always one of thehardest working players on the field. Theforwards went into the game with greatgusto, but they were not so successfulin the scrum work as their opponents,and frequently failed to get the ball.They did not seem to have the benefitof extra weight, either, and were pushedall over the place. Frequently thescrum was screwed, and often thescrews were to the disadvantage of NewZealand. MeWilliams again excelled. Afine forward is MeWilliams, and he isbound to improve as the result of hisexperience in Australia. MeWilliamswas limping towards the end of thegame, but he did not let up for aminute, and he proved his gameness.Then there were Sonntag and Beid —butis it fair to individualise among theforwards, for they were all triers* Afev men such as these in the club gamesof Sydney and Bugby would never lookback, and the League game wouldquickly disappear. Every member ofthe New Zealand pack was a trier. Aus-tralia had a better pack. That ia allthere is to it.

Australia did a remarkable thing mthis Third Test, and the question hasbeen discussed whether it waa quito"sporting." In the second hal t Storeyreplaced Findlay in the Australian team.Now Findlay is one of Australia'sworst Bugby players, and how he evergot into the Australian team is a com-plete mystery. On Saturday he waseasily the worst player on the field, ahindrance to his side rather than a help.He never touched the ball unless by ]aecident, because he was too slow toget out of the way. He waa a dis-tinctly weak link. Then, after the in-terval, it was announced that he hadinjured his back. Some critics havebeen nnkind enough to say that he musthave injured it in the dressing shed, forhe was never in the battle—neverwhere he could get injured, at any rate.In place of Findlay the Australiansplayed the former Waratah, Storey.Fresh and bright after watching thefirst spell from the grandstand, Storeycame on and played brilliantly. Com-menting on the incident, Claude Cor-bett, in the "Sydney Sun," said: "Thata man fresh, who has not had to sustainthe paee or receive the knocks andgruelling of the first half of an inter-national football match, can be placedon the field does not savour of truesport. Fortunes of war may go againstone side certainly, but it all works out

Technically. Mr Hanks added, therates in the Avon riding have Ik-en re-duced tlus year, as the riding is find-ing out of ordinary revenue £175, itsproportion of the cost of the NewBrighton bridge, and £l3O for its shareof the reconstruction of Page's road,a total of £305 This sum is beingfound out of general rate, the rate per£ remaining the same as last year.The Bromley riding, on the other hand,has had to increase its rate by \d tomeet similar charges.

Tho County Council had protestedto the Drainage Board against thelevying of the "A" class rate of 117*C4d in the 1' for the sewage area,

as the setver has not yet been laid.The Board's reply was to the effectthat plans and specifications are beingprepared and tenders would be calledshort I v and the work carried out dur-ing the present financial year.

For tlie sake of comparison, liequoted the rates payable by a propertyin tho City valued at £775, whichwere year £9 .'ss, but seeing thatthe l)rainage Board rate has been in-creased and that the amount to l>eraised by general rate also had beenincreased, the probability was that thisyear's rates will \h % considerably inexcess ot the amount paid last year.

1 his is certain in instances where theunimproved values have l>een in-creased; in some cases such valueshave been increased by 100 per cent.

NOTES OF THE DAY.

'By "Jigger. ')

The privileges of the Belmont liukswill be extended by the Wanganui GolfClub to all competitors in the NewZealand Championship Meeting, fromMonday, September 23rd, to Saturday,October sth. The annual meeting ofdelegates -will be held in Wanganui onMonday, September 30th.

"By innumerable repetitions habitswill be formed, and the golf swing willbecome an automatic act, i.e., one thatrequires no focused attention. It doesitself."—Seymour Dunn.

On Saturday, August 17tii, the Rus-sley Club will play the first round ofIS holes, of the Kedpath Cup, the secondround following a week later. This isa mixed four-ball bogey handicap of36 holes. Players are to arrange theirown partners, and enter not later thanWednesday the 14th, after which oppos-ing pairs will be drawn.

Where golf ranks in public interest111 the United States may be judgedfrom the fact that newspaper reportersat: the Winged Foot course, Mamaron-eek, New York, telegraphed 750,000words about the \nierican open cham-pionship. At every third tee there wasa telephone, to facilitate the sendingout of progress figures. No other sport-ing event receives the same amount ofattention from the Press, which meansthat no other event claims so large abody of keenly interested readers.

The hole-in-one habit has been revivedagain after a rest of several weeks.E. J. Corcoran, playing on the Kaiapoilinks, sank his tee shot at the Bth hole,"The Pitch," 112 yards, and J. Car-ter, of the A\-ondale Committee, got a"one" at "The Manukas," on the Avon-dale links. Both were obtained duringthe last week-end, and both players werepenalised according to custom.

Dr. Gossip looks like an easy winnerof the junior championship at Russley.His gross scores in the qualifying roundswere only four strokes worse than thesenior medallist, and he won his firstmatch last Saturday in easy style.

Match play will be the order-of-theday at Shirley for the next few weeks,as the three events, Club Champion-ship, Richards Cup, and the Cox Cup,each contain sixteen competitors, andthe first match play rounds in each be-gin to-morrow. Attempting to pick thewinners at this stage would savour toomuch of the ridiculous, as each eventis made up this year of more evenlymatched players than is usual. E. M.Macfarlane will probably have a majority of supporters for the championship, but until a round or two havebeon played, the other two events areimpossible to pick. Some very interesting matches are sure to result, how-ever.

All the New Zealand Kirk-WindeyerCup team have done well so far in Aus-tralia, but the excellent showing ofSloan Morpeth, both in the style ofgame he has been playing, and in hisreaching the final oi the Victorian Ama-teur Championship, to accomplish whichhe had to defeat three of Australia'sleading golfers, in the persons of Hec-tor Morrison, who was runner-up to IvoWhitton in the New South Wales cham-pionship only a few weeks ago. C. HPawcctt, who is one of the leading amateur of Australia, and who put Dr.Ross out in the first round, and LenNettlefold, the world'? best left-handedplayer and the holder of the title ofAustralian champion. With any breakat all he should be heralded this morning as the winner of the title, as hisopponent in the final, A. Hancock, isnot the equal as a golfer of any of thethree mentioned above, of whom Mor-peth disposed in the three precedingrounds. It is a fact, however, thatHancock put Ivo Whitton out of thecompetition

Every shot wit-li the masliie andmashie* niblick requires to be playedfirmlv and yet with flexible wrists,and this is tlie main reason why women,with a very few exceptions, find theirmost difficult shot to be the approach—from 100 to 30 yards from the pin. Alarge majority of both men and womenbeginners try to loft the ball by hittingit on the up-swing. The loft of the bladeof the club does this itself. Try it.The ball must be struck down with theiron clubs in order to make it rise. Butwith many beginners this is difficult tocomprehend, and can only be proved bypractical demonstration. It is not im-possible to play the approach shot by

hiting the ball on the up-swing, but itc&rri6B unnecessary risk, as the ballmust be hit with the utmost accuracy.The slightest error will result in theball being scuffled along the ground,due to its being half topped. Evenwhen the stroke is played with absoluteaccuracy, the result is invariably "arunning" ball," which is very difficultto control.

The young Englishman, T. H. Cotton,who spent several months in Americalast summer and who is regarded as themost promising of the younger schoolof golfers in England to-day, gives thefollowing simple guides as a help towomen in improving their approachshots:—"(1) Play the ball from a cen-tral position with the feet closer to-gether than for the long shots. (2)Strike the ball on the down-swing andlet the club follow through after theball, taking turf as it comes through."Cotton concludes with this very soundadvice:—"Concentrate on the actualstroke, and not on the result of it." Ifthe foregoing advice meets with the ap-proval of you'* club's professional, thenyou may be sure it is worth following.

C. J. H. Tolley, British amateurchampion, accompanied by EustaceStorey, a member of the British WalkerCup team, T. A. Bourn, the presentFrench amateur champion, and probablyJ. A. Stout, of Bridlington, last year'sEnglish champion, are supposed by nowto have sailed for the States to com-pete in the United States AmateurChampionship, to be played at PebbleBeach, California, September 2nd to7th. Since the war, while Americanplayers have made many attacks onBritish championships, British golfersha s only made one desultory attemptto capture similar titles in America.Tolley, who is a great favourite inAmerica, is a partner in a firm of Lon-don stockbrokers. Bourn is also a mem-ber of the Stock Exchange, whileStorey, who stayed some time in Amer-ica after the visit of the Walker Cupteam to Chicago last autumn, is in theinsurance business, and a member ofLloyd's. Stout is a dental surgeon,and one of the leading golfers in theNorth of England. In this pursuit ofhonours, the British players will travelnearly 14,000 miles to the Pacific Coastand back, an enormous distance, whenconsidering that each has to run therisk of failing to qualify for the cham-pionship. Tolley failed to survive thetest on the last occasion on 'which hecompeted in the United States Cham-pionship, a fate also shared by RogerWethered. It is a severe ordeal, only 32players out of over 300, or about onein ten, qualifying for the match stages.Probably no other British player wouldbe as welcome as will Tolley this year.In the first place he is the holder ofthe British title. In the second placehe is a battler who has won for him-self a warm place in the hearts of thegolfers in America. The following ishow Grantland Rice writes of his pros-pective trip in the "New York HeraldTribune":—"Cyril James Hastings Tol-ley, who ran a tank through the Ger-man lines and kept going until hestruck a German staff dugout far backof the lines around 1917, is planning tostart in the United States AmateurChampionship at Pebble Beach. Tolleywon the first championship he everplayed in when he won the BritishAmateur in 1920. After battling fornine years, he is back with the oldcrown, just at a time when his gameseemed to be slipping away. Too muchhad been written and spoken aboutTolley's terrific hitting. For severalyears his main idea of a golf roundwas to hit the ball as far as he couldlash it and then let Nature take itscourse. And he could hit a golf ball,lie was always a great competitor,always giving all he had, even whenhe seemed to be hopelessly beaten. Tol-ley will be a big addition at PebbleBeach—in more ways than one, sinceIns displacement is well over 200pounds. He will find Pebble Beach tohis liking, since he has played most ofhis golf over seaside links."

The best Melbourne courses are allclustered together, there being threethousand acres of rolling sandy countryideal for the making of great courses,Commonwealth, where the Victorianchampionship will be played, is one ofgreat possibilities. It has a length ofbooo yards, and will be playing thislength when the qualifying round com-mence. The fairways are slightly drierthan on the Metropolitan course, but be-ing newly established they are not upto the standard of some of the othercourses. It is a hard course to gatherlow figures, for which length is essen-tial. The fairways are narrow andbounded by a treacherous rough, whichmeans a lost ball or unplayable lie tothe wild hitter. The first and often thesecond shot must be hit with control togain a good scoring position, and gapingbunkers of depth call for full know-ledge of explosion shots. The ball can-not be chipped out. Speculation is rifeas to who and to what score will qualifyin the Victorian championship. Neverbefore has such a competitive fieldgathered in Australia. The best ama-teurs of Queensland, New South Wales,Tasmania, Victoria, and New Zealandwill be competing for the sixteen places.There are 25 players who on form havethe right to expect to qualify,so it can be imagined theenthusiasm and eagerness with whichplayers will commence their rounds.If playing conditions are good, 161 mayhold the sixteenth place, but if a heavywind should prevail, then it is hard topredict on such a difficult course. Itmust be remembered by New Zealandgolfers when looking over the qualify-ing scores that scoring conditions ofthis course are very much harder thanon any New Zealand links.

The New Zealand team are fit andwell, but to show the quality of thecompeting field it is the opinion of thewriter that it is quite possible only twoof the team may qualify. They havenot yet produced their best golf. Mor-peth has had the best score, having donea 72 on Commonwealth, which equalsthe course record, but his scoring so faris erratic. Horton is playing steadily,and gradually improving his game, as heusually does. Both Black and Rosshave shown brilliance, but are far fromsatisfied with their scoring.

It may be a good omen that the teamat the moment are not playing on top.as it is fully realised by all membersthat, the aim of their visit is to returnto New Zealand with the Kirk-Win-deyer Cup. It has not been definitelydecided when this match will beplayed, but in all probability NewSouth Wales will compete against Vic-toria on August 13th, and New Zealandwill play the winners on the followingdav. However, playing dates will beadvised to the New Zealand Golf Asso-ciation.

KIRK-WINDEYER CUPTEAM.

first impressions ofAUSTRALIA.

SPECIALLY WEITTESJ FOR THE PRES?.)

(By Sloan Morpeth.)

On arrival in Sydney after a smoothtrip across the Tasman, the golfers rep-resenting the Dominion in the Kirk-Windeyer matches in Australia lost notime in obtaining practice under thenew conditions. All courses in Sydneywere placed at the disposal of thevisitors, and it was decided on the firstday to take the advantage of plaving onthe Royal Sydney course at Rose Bay.

Members of the team immediatelynoticed the changed conditions in com-parison with their home courses. Thecourse was dry and moderately fast,and the first impression created wasthe magnificence of the fairways andgreens.

The first hole on the course measures245 yards, with the green plainly visiblefrom the tee. When tforpeth andBlack landed on the green on the fullit was instantly noted that the rarefiedair would bring about some prodigiousliitting. Considering the fact that theplayers had arrived only that morning,the form displayed by all four menwas particularly sound. Morpeth com-piled the best figures by being 66 forseventeen holes, a wild hook from thefifth tee causing a lost ball, and thehole was not completed. His drivingwas particularly long under the newconditions. All four players gained im-mediate confidence on the greens owingto their excellence and consistency ofsurface.

On the following day the team wereguests of the Australian Golf Club onthe Kensington course, and a match wasarranged with members of that club,with the following results: —S. Mor-peth defeated H. Morrison, 3 and 2;T. H. Horton beat E. J. Andrews, 3 and2; K. Ross beat Dr. S. Jones, 4 and3- and J. L. Black won from J. Box,5 and 3. Considering that it was thefirst appearance of most of the mem-bers of the team on this course, theirperformance cf winning all fourmatches was a meritorious one. It willbe remembered that H. Morrison was afinalist a few weeks ago with Ivo Whit-ton in the New South Wales Statechampionship. The New Zealanderscompiled the following rounds, scratchscore of the course being 78:—Black 78,Horton 75, Ross 76, and Morpeth 75.

On arrival in Melbourne on the 24ththe team was met by officials of all themetropolitan clubs and given a luncheonby the Victorian Golf Association.Later a civic reception was tendered,after which the team journeyed to theSandringham course and witnessed thedefeat of T.ufus Stewart by R. Jupp int j final of the Victorian professionalchampionship.

As the Kirk-Windeyer matches are tobe played on the metropolitan links, itwill be necessary for the team to con-centrate their practice on these links,as well as the Commonwealth course,where tne Victorian State championshipwill be played on August 3rd.

Metropolitan is a picturesque courseset in pleasant surroundings. Thevivid greens and fairways are linedwith blazing yellow wattles, and thegreens are unequalled in New Zealand.The dry conditions do not exist in Mel-bourne as in Sydney. The averagelength of run to be obtained from thetee would not bo more than eight toten yards. As the course is 300 yardsin length, its playing condition wouldresemble that of the Hamilton links.All the greens are particularly wellguarded by deep sand traps and fullknowledge of the explosion shot mustbe gained to extricate with accuracy.The scratch score of the course is 78.

On Sunday, the 28tli, our team seizedthe opportunity of playing withsome of the outstanding figures of Aus-tralian golf. In the morning K. Rossand S. Morpeth defeated Ivo Whittonand Nigel Smith by three holes, butlost a match later in the day to G.Faweett and A. Russell by three holes.T. H. Horton and J. L. Black werebeaten by the latter pair by five holes,but recovered in the afternoon and de-feated Ivo Whitton and G. Lockhartby 3 up. Faweett and Russell are aformidable pair, the former being ex-traordinarily accurate, with an occa-sional lapse of undenying brilliance.He has figured in Victorian golf formany years, but now is a resident ofSydney. A. Russell is a magnificentgolfer, being a stylist in all classes ofshots, with the ability to producestartling figures when under pressure.He obtains great length from the tee,and his lonar iron shots to the greencan be equalled by T. H Horton only.As a golfer he is considered the equalof Ivo Whitton. This pair will leadthe Victorian team in the cupmatches.

During their visit in Melbourne theteam are the guests of the VictoriaGolf Club. Th is course is compara-tively a new one, having been laiddown three years ago. The greens weresr.wn entirely with Chewings Fescue,the seed being obtained from New Zea-land. Such a perfect result has beengn-en that the writer has considerabledifficulty in describing their excellence.They are all exactly similar in pace,and when putting on such a silky sur-face one fully knows that to miss a10ft putt means the faulty executionof the striker. Not a weed or bladeof foreign grass can be noticed in anyone of the eighteen greens. The con-struction and lay-out of each individ-ual hole gives such a result that themembers of the team will be surprisedif in their visitation to other courses Iits equal will be seen.

NEURITISnNo matter how uncomfortable the weather

prospect may be, the man or woman who is

subject to neuritis will, by using Thermogene iatime, avoid many an unpleasant attack.

The reason is simple. The layer of Thermofenewhich you place next the skin over the affectedpart prevents the congestion which irritates thenerves.

Thermogene, if applied early, gives neuritis nochance of causing that excruciating agany tra*which so many people suffer. But should aaattack develop without warning, thepenetrating warmth induced by Thermogene willassist circulation and quickly bring relief.

Later, when its healing work is done, you may

discard Thermogene layer by layer, safely andcomfortably.

SEASON COMMENCES TO-NIGHT.

At the CiVic Theatre to-night a» Meeilentprogramme is to be presented, Mil th® tnafl-agement draw attention to the tirafe of start-ing, eight o'clock instead of seven-thirty asformerly. The programme comprises "TheWhip'* and ''White Goid,' and th© Castaappearing in both pictures are a record—itis claimed-—for any one programme. Herethey are: —Dorothy Jlackaill, Ralph Forbes,Anna y. Nilsson, Lowell bherman, and MarclicDermott in "The Whip"; Jetta Goudil,Kenneth rhomson," George Bancroft (Of "TheWolf of Wall Street" fame), George Nichols,Robert Perry, and Clyde Cook are thfe maincast in "White Gold.' "The VV hip" can nght-lv be termed "The Biggest Shdw of th©Season." In fact, it is in a category byiMelf. There is only one Drury Lane.There is only one Epsom Downs. There isonly ore I>erby Day. The world has triedto copv them all, but has never succeeded,and never will. All those places are wrappedup with the centuries of English life andare steeped in tradition which gives every-thing connected with them such a peculiarcharm. "The Whip" is transplanted fromDrury Lane to the Screen for the first time,and contains more thrills, sensations, andromance than would be obtained in half adozen ordinary pictures. There is a trainsmash, a motor-car wrecked, scandal, intrigue,faked marriages, with dramati? consequences,■mart frocks and beautiful women, villainoustouts and crooks, the coster and Royaltysidn by side. In fact, it is Derby Day,and every Englishman knows what that isand what it means! To those who know itnot the opportunity is presented at the Civicof becoming acquainted with each and everyaspect of. that wonderful race meeting.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE."

A Fixe programme.Tne present programme of su.ind picture?

at the Theatre Royal easily the best that jhas so far been shown there. Although it jfcas frequently been the case that the 00l- 1lection of short pictures making up the firstpart o£ the programme has not been up tothe standard set by the main picture, nofetich accusation can be levelled at the won-derful entertainment provided this week.One feature of the programme is a fairiylong revue, in fu.l colour and full dialogue,which is very good fare indeed. This col-our picture really amounts to a completeBtisge entertainment, including many turns inwhich singing, ballet, and musical comedyliancing are fceen and heard to perievtion.and are of a uniformly exveuent qua.ity.

The pnneipat picture this week is ' AnasJimmy \aieniiue, ' m winch, although u*aarn iiaiiies is noiuman., the leau, tue <-a?tit an ail-star one, including L,jouei iianymore ana Karl Dane. Apart iroiu the tacttnat it seems to have been airected uy twotUaerent men in tae tirst halt and tne last

Thetalkies seem to be improving at those heavyemotional times when, mors than ever, theactors find themselves floundering in a seaof sound. They appear to be vividly Warethat anything they say wili moat certainlybe used aa evidence against them, a factwhich robs many of them of their eilentspontaneity. It can honestly be said that"Alias Jimmy Valentine" is an absolutelyfirst-rate picture. Lionel Barrymore'3 is themost finished performance.

TEAROOMS THATFAILED.

PROPRIETRESS BANKRUPT.

Sixteen months ago Martha Eliza-beth Minnitt, a married woman, tookOver tearooms at 126 Hereford street.Christchurch, as a going concern for£3500. Circumstances intervenedwhich took away much of the formerpatronage and this, combined withheavy payments of purchase moneyand lack of liquid capital, forced herto file a petition in bankruptcy.

She met her creditors yesterday,when, after a discussion in committee,it was decided to leave the estate inthe hands of the Official Assignee (MrA. W. Watters), with one of the credi-tors, Mr P. N. Quaftefmain, to act assupervisor in any negotiations for saleof the business.

Bankrupt's statement showed thatshe purchased the business on April10th, 1928, for £2500 as a going con-cern. The terms of purchase providedfor this indebtedness being reduced atthe fate of £l2 weekly and £636 hadbeen paid in reduction of the principalsum. Early in July she consulted MrP. N. Quartermain. Public Account-ant, and upon his recommendation, ameeting of creditors was held on July10th. That meeting was adjournedand a petition in bankruptcy filedShe attributed her position to: a) Lackof sufficient liquid capital; (2) that shepaid too much for the business; (3)that its earning power was insufficientto warrant £l2 weekly being paid inreduction of the purchase money, 4)

that the closing down of the Queen'sTheatre and the building operationsconducted on that property dUriftg thepast six months caused the takings todecrease upon an average by £3O aWeek since the beginning Of the alter-ations. The business was sold op therepresentation that it was showing anet profit of £4B a week, but shedid not consider at ally time that theprofit had been more than £l2 weekly.

The principal unsecured creditorswere: St. G. Atkinson and Co., £3615s 6d: J. Ballantvne and Co., Ltd..£43 19s 5d ; Browne Bros. anuOeddes, Ltd.. £2l 9s Id ; C. Calvert,£23 19s; Cadburys and Frv?.

Mr B. Semple said that there werenearly 700 Inen on the local list. Therewas toothing in the Budget suggestingrelief of unemployment within the toe*tsix or twelve months. Reference hadbeen made by Sir Joseph Ward to theintroduction of an unemployment in-surance scheme, but it might be a yearafter next Session before it was broughtinto and neither that nor ascheme for land settlement wouldeffect immediate relief of the position.

Sir Joseph Ward Baid he was willingto do anything he could to heljp solvethe difficulty. He was unable to under-stand how it was there were so manyunemployed centring upon Wellington.The Public Works Department was em-ploying fifteen hundred men in the Wel-lington district* and numbers of thosehad been taken on since the presentGovernment took office. However, h 6would give instructions that 200 menshould be put in employment this after-noon.

Referring to the arrival of people Inthe Dominion from outside, Sir JosephWard said the Government had not en-couraged anybody to come here in searchof work.

RUGBY LEAGUE.

TO-MOBROW'S ATTRACTIONS.

The principal game at Monica Park to-morrow will be between Hornby and Syden-

ham on No. 1 ground, and should prove fastand exciting. Sydenham, led by le Warneand Blazey, should prove a tough proposi-tion. The backs are all young players whoare improving with every game, and shouldmore than hold their own with the Hornbyrearguard. The Hornby forwards will in-clude Woodgate, Minnards, and Vivian, whoplayed for Canterbury against the WestCoast last week. C. Woods will be at half,and now that he has regained form shouldshow up well. Howison Is an improvingplayer who has a future in big football.Mackey will be on the wing.

Marist and Woolston will meet on No. 2ground, and the Greens should have littletrouble in securing a win, although Woolstoncannot be taken too lightly. Marist forwardsinclude Carroll, Drayton, Ryan, Sharp, andBurns, who are all showing good form,especially Burns In the backs Spillane andBrittenden should give all the sparkle neces-sary.

Addington meet Waimairi at St. James'sPark, Papanui, and should give the suburbandevotees some sparkling football. Addingtonare leading in the competition, and WTaimairiare sure to extend the leaders.

MILITARY TRAINING.

COMMENT ON TIMARURESOLUTIONS.

(press association TBLEGRAIT.)

TIMARU, August 8.The attitude of the Timaru Presby-

tery towards military training and con-scientious objectors as indicated in amotion carried by that body, is de-scribed by Lieutenant-Colonel L. M.Inglis, M.C., Officer Commanding theFirst Canterbury Regiment, alternative-ly as " a motion more worthy of politi-cal schemers than of clergymen," or"an insidiously camouflaged attempt toinsert the tin-opener into the can ofcompulsion.''

In the course of an interview,Colonel Inglis said that the most impor-tant part of the motion read: "Thatexemption be granted to all personswhose conscientious objections to mili-tary service are certified by trust-worthy witnesses without discrimina-tion between denominations." Therewas only one person qualified to testifyas to the conscientious beliefs of anyman—the man himself. And as the mostcommon motives for wishing to evademilitary service were laziness and greedin time of peace, and fear in time ofwar, before such testimony could beaccepted as genuine it should be com-pared with, and be consistent with, thepast and present conduct of the appli-cant for exemption. "It is clearly com-monsense," added Colonel Inglis, "thatthe individual claiming to be entitledto a special privilige should bear theonus of proving to the authority empow-ered to grant the privilege that he isentitled to the privilege of exemption.Therefore if a conscientious objector'fails to discharge the burden of proofwhich rests upon him, then he has noreal griveance." Colonel Inglis furtherstated that if the Timaru Presbyteryheld that there was a grievance in thecase it referred to—that of two Auck-land men—then its attitude was reallyan attaek on the integrity of the Mag-istrate who heard the case.

Dealing with the motion proposed bythe Rev. P. G. Hughes, which had asits object abolition of military train-ing, Lieutenant-Colonel Inglis contendedthat no attempt had been made to ex-plain the third reason in stating why avoluntary defence force would be moreacceptable to the mind and spirit ofChrist than a compulsory one. MrHughes had also left the second groundunexplained, trusting, no doubt, tothe verbiage in which he dressed itto cast a spell over the last portion.In regard to the first reason, however,which read: "That compulsory militarytraining is eontrarv to the whole trendof British sentiment and policy," MrHughes had been either deliberatelymisleading in the worst political senseor unpardonably ignorant of the subject.
