Miss Marie Burke has paid a. complimentto the City and the Savoy by saying:

There is nothing finer than tho TudorHall in Now York, nothing so statelyand solid and wonderfully artistic, no-thing so appealing to one’s sense of thecorrect and beautiful. I could scarcelybelieve my eyes! I wonder if you NewZealanders, and especially you Dunedinpeople, realise just how fortunate youare to have such a building in your

‘midst. You should regard yourselves asblest to ho in the same city as theTudor Hall.Dancing is made for happiness. Those

who sock it, those who entertain or requirediversion from everyday cares, do them-selves an injustice to deny themselves thoprivileges offering.

THE GLAMOUR OF OURCITY.

Written for thmOtago Daily Times.

Bt Will D. Moke.“But Edinburgh pays cruelly for her high

seat in one of the vilest climates underheaven. She is liable to bo bouton uponby all the winds that blow, to bo drenchedwith rain, to be buried in cold sea logscut of the east, and powdered with snowns it comes flying southward from the High-land hills. The, weather is raw andboisterous in winter, shifty and ungenialin summer, and a downright meteorologicalpurgatory iu tho spring.” So, roundly andunkindly, wrote llobort Louis Stevenson ofhis native city; and there are those whoslyly hint that the daughter in tho southernseas is not better situated than her mother.But “B. L. S.” also wrote:—

O still ayont tho mucklo sea,Still are ye dear, and dear to mo,

Anld Heckle, still mid on,which, of course, is the proper explana-tion of tho matter. Criticisms by thenative born are never to bo understood asharsh as they sound. That is why thoDunedin citizen helps to spread the absurdcanard about “Dunedin’s typical weather."Wo grumble about the weather; so do thefolk of other cities, for that matter—butour grumbling must not bo taken as thotrue feeling wo bear our city.

When Old Man Winter sweeps his robesacross tho Pacific on his way to the wrap-ping of our city in their mistral folds woprotest pretty stridently against his moistpleasantries. We may go to the length ofwriting io our friends that "the city isburied in another Scotch mist.” But woknow also the glamour of those same mists,swept by tho winds into towering greymasses that lie, like a. wig, on tho baldhead of Cargill; or drifting—a tenuous,smoky shawl about tho shoulders of thomountain. On another day tho samepleasant old gentleman lays his whip acrossthe city—a snoll wind keening out of thesouth-west. The thin-blooded citizen com-plains bitterly of (ho cold and skips roundto tile “bieldy” side of tho corner. Butfor all his complaints you will discoverhe is rather proud that .Nature s Wintertonic is stronger in Dunedin than otdtor-where, and ho openly exults in tho ‘‘sting”in the wind’s kiss that sends tho blood inand out of tho gateways of tho heart, andalong tho arterial highways into everyvenous cul-de-sac, leaping and dancing arollicking carmagnole of health. The plaintruth is that, like tho foolishly proudhostess who knows the ordered beauty ofher homo and calls your attention to itby making needless apologies the necessaryfoil; or like the Chinese who practice anunmeaning disparagement to prove they arepolite, “we hope the honourable visitor toour city will pardon its atrocious weather.”When ho goes hack home with the storythat the Dunedin weather is so bad, even thocitizens apologise for it; wo arc neithersurprised nor annoyed. Wo have exercisedthe privilege of criticising our own town;and wo laugh at tho stranger who, having■seen its beauty, was obtuse enough to takeus seriously. Tho proof of this, of course,is that nobody in Dunedin wants to liveanywhere else; they are content; towait for Elysium “fields of asphodel.”

One of the pathetic humours of old-fashioned theology is the tremendous discus-sion that raged over the exact, location oftho entrancing garden, the Eternal Gardenerplanted, one day, “eastward ... inEdeu.” The old divines somehow failed tounderstand that a part of Eden lies undertho eastward shining of every daily sun.The pilgrim fathers found a part of Edenat the head of our harbour, and. havingthe vision of utility clothed in beauty, setour city in it with its face toward tin- sea.Before the modern cult of town-planning,they realised its essential and abiding prin-ciple. A city must not bo an outrage uponnatural beauty, an offensive excrescence likea painted statue in a garden, hut a blend-ing with it; the frraee and glorv cf thogarden must bo added (o and emphasisedby the art. of mem So have we inheriteda city of incomparable beauty, hold in thehearth’s strong arms as though in pride of

'this late and lovely child Itotm of his ancientmarriage with tho sen. And the beautylies close to, as it could be the. inspirationof, our common ways, only, like the Manwith (he Muckrake, we Itocome too in-terested iu less considerable matters. To il-lustrate the thing I .mean, lift your eyesone day. for an instant, to the beauty ofKnox Church spire. Always, of course, inHie perspective of George street, it is to

Ttu- straight lines and siiont, walls of town.And roar, an:ul glare, and dust, and myriad

whitet'lidying passers.—pinnacle and crown.

But see if when the sunlight touches i!into albescent beauty, and. like a slender,cornseant, silver it rests against thesoft green moroeain of Pine Hill. If youare the person I take you to be. it. willquiet, the heart, with a sudden -ense ofhushed peace, and prove the teller of itwayside parable. On another day, “whensutset- sprawls across tho western sky,” watchfile sun’s farewell caressing 0f the Penin-sula Hills. Mount ('argil! and the city willho already under tho soft, front-flung,shadow of the hand of night, when willcome a sudden burst of brightness, andwarmth, and colour on the hills across theharbour - the last shining of life in the faceof day. And,

'l’ll,- fast world in that rare glimmerPuts mi the witi-bi-ry nf a dr.-ani.The little hmises, riehlv dimmer.Tin- fiery v.-in lews. and He- w.ream.

When Dr Johnson was 75, the year of hisdeath, lie said-: “The town is my element,there are my friends, there are my Ixxiks,to which f have not yet bid farewell, andthere are my other amusements.” One mayhazard a sapient, guess, since his hours olgoing abroad were from four iu the after-noon

0 until two in the morning, that notthe least of his other amusements svas theglamour of the “lights o’ Loudon.” Noi-ls it the least, item in the glamour of ourown city. Whether they he Hung on thocoiling of a misty sky as the glow fronta ItearUifire lights a room where there islove and life and laughter; or, as frontthe llavcnsbourno road, they adorn her inhonour rf her own loveliness with the gleamof beaiuliful jewels about, a woman's body;or, Vs on tho Ist,. Kilda “flat.” they pick outher streets “.as when a child pricks a draw-ing full of pinholes and exposes it beforea caudle,” they fill the night with music.And sometimes the night, anil the hills,and the harbour waters combine in a lovelyphantasy that, satisfies tho instinct forbeauty equally as music does the ear. AsI was standing one night on Montenctllowatching the. lights that sprinkled withdiamond dust both sides of the, harbour,suddenly the moon drifted from behind ahand of cloud. And on tho blue-black vel-vet cf the harbour water the moonbeamsstained a perfect rose. Trick of the fancyyou may call it, hut every separate petalwas outlined in shimmering mothor-i ispejirl,and, about, the edges, as in the centre ofthe rose glowed a fire like that m the. heartof an opal.

It is a curious reflection that two of tholoveliest spots in our city are tho placeswhore we lav the dead; but it is creditablein the first degree. “An open outlook isdesired for a churchyard, and a sight ofthe sky and some of (he world’s beautyrelieves tho mind from morbid thoughts.”So a famous critic declared against thedreariness of Gre.vfrairs. Edinburgh, and,by a lend of corporate raisin* of the hatin respect to (hose who pass from amongtho living, the daughter city has arrangedthat, this be so. This is creditable, andas it should be, because it, isn’t, abvay.s so.There are cities where the dead are givensanctuary in the ragged edges of land leftfrom the needs of the living: nr on bareuplands beyond the city’s boundary wherehitter winds make sport, of any attemptsat beautifying. Tf tho dead know any-thing at all, in these places one mightimagine their whispering to the mourner'sPersphone’s lament in Hades.

Hast them not broughtEven Mo-snm with the noise of rainAnd smell of earth aliont it. that we aftMight g.itIn r round and whisper over it?

But with us. bounty throws her veil overthe last stark- terror* and through its tendergauze grintness and morbidity are seen topas= away. If I had the power, I would writeover each gateway into our burying grounds

either the northern one mat leads to thequiet loveliness of a cosy glen ; or the onestanding always within sound of the murmurof the .-ea—the word found above the sub-terranean burying in the Cata-eoniifs at Rome, “Dormit, —iho place ofsleep. It. is a word that rips tho maskfrom Death’s face, and shows him, afterall. the common trickster that he is.

To tho superficial mind this emphasis ofthe sense of beauty is an ill thing bringingnobody much good hut the sentimentalist.It: remains to be said as the last thing,therefore, it is the most practical thingalive. Where there is neither beauty, northe spiritual nualitv appreciating it. (.here,will speedily 1,-e no loyalty. It is the citizenwho sees the city of his birth, or of hisadoptioti. as a

rare flower wo call civic consciousness. Andfor the same reason that one doesn t: thinkof being loyal to a tr,-linear iu the samewas- as lasing loyal to one s fierce, ifi.-itflower will begin to wilt and die when thecity comes to be regarded only as a neces-sary convenience, or an expediency made

necessary by commerce and industrialism,do far from being impractical, then, isthis emphasis of beauty that one- of fbenecessary future developments of civic aceministration, both in our own cit.v andelsewhere, will he tlm education of publicappreciation of the beautiful.

WOOL STABILISATION.REMEDIAL SCHEMES.

An interesting contribution to the dis-cussion on the wool position is containedin the following article by 7 Mr R. "Vincent(Geelong) in the Australian journal Stockand Land:

What is the future of the Australian woolindustry'.' This question has for some timepast been exercising the minds of all woolgrowers. It has also received earnest con-sideration from business and commercialmen, who appreciate how vitally tho in-

terests and welfare of the country as awhole arc bound up in the prosperity ottho growers. Various schemes have beenoffered as a remedy for the ills with whichthe industry 7is at present afflicted. Theyaro:

1. Control by Bawra, or some similarorganisation.

2. The formation of a pool under thecontrol of or backed by the FederalGovernment.

3. Control by an organisation represent-ing tho growers.

Each of these proposals aims at trie slabi-lisation of wool. It is but fair to inquirewhat stabilisation moans. Indubitably it

signifies permanent arbitrary fixation ofprices and not necessarily with tho collabo-ration of tho consumer. In other wordsthe consumer is to be offered our woolat a pro-determined figure, the groweisholding the wool until those prices areobtained through some organisation erectedfor tho purpose which would also finmicotho scheme until it becomes effective. I hismeans Government control and interferencein an industry that has hitherto been uoL'afor its independence and self-reliance. Withtho advent of stabilisation the. independenceof the industry must surely vanish, andwith it the. grower’s control over his o»ndip, for no scheme of such a comprehensivecharacter could be carried into died oi

oven function initially, without btatc aidor ’packing. .

., ,-p

In considering the question of stabilisa-tion, certain relevant- and fundamental lac-tors cannot be ignored. Does not the price

of wool necessarily, if . not primarily, de-pend upon demand as wall as supply.Surely tho capacity to buy in at least a-,

may well bo sounded boro. Ihurt'ig ■last few years several wvcti.o *'''

dust ries have come into be.iii„. I heir pio

ducts are now firmly, established and powei-

fnJ competitors against wool. Ihc sigm i-

cance of this development cannot be over-looked It needs little power of discern-ment to show that if growers wore to. fixand maintain wool prices at lewte againstthe interests of consumers, they wouldseriously prejudice their own mclidry amifoster the increased use ol substitutes. Any

thing that would antagonise consume™ orcreate the impression that wool is a luxury

should he rigidly avoided.The agitation proceeding lately seems to

be the- outcome of tin unreasonable amiuncalled for apprehension that a calamity

of more than tonqiorary character has hap-pened to the Australian wool industry.Homo growers, forgetting the past, are sofearful of tho future that they have suc-cumbed to panic. As a matter of fact,

the slump is but tho reaction from the highprices recently realised Such slumps haveoccurred before, and are a feature of theworld's trading operations. No commodity

with a wide demand has escaped boomsand slumps, but, in the long run. inevit-ably has found its level again. Australianwool has a naturally high level and nonebn the most pessimistic doubt for a moment

that within a comparatively short period

the buoyancy of the market; will be reas-serted, not to tho level of the last. Novem-ber-Dix-emher sales, but to such a one asv, :|| be payable to (he grower. Anotheridea that, has fostered this resort to panickyexpedients is a, wide-spread belief amonggrowers regarding the lienelils wmch haveaccrued from liie operation of Bawra. Theyimagine that this organisation saved Aus-tralia and thornselves from rum. Ihe ideais "Toundless. The fact is that Bawra cameinto existence at a time when prices hadfallen very low as the result, of just sucha slump as we have, lately experienced.I coking back, it can with justification beconcluded (hat even had Bawra never beencre-itiMi prices would have novoxthrlcssalia mod, the high levels of last November-Dezember. Circumstances over which Bawrahad no control contributed in part to thesuccess achieved, and, although there is nothought in the minds of wool growers ofAustralia other than of the highest appre-

ion of the efforts of Sir John Higgins,

‘Sir Arthur Goldfinch, and their colleaguesluring the lime of stress, and mil r.-eogiii-

ri-m of the splendid manner m winch Bawrawas managed, il is not. contended that amorganisation could have prevented prices

of course, not doing this for nothing LitI want the woolgrowers to lealise that theinterests of tho woolgrowers aml the brokersan- so interwove,i that it is to their mutualadvantage that wool should realise thehighest, possible price. Hastily to sciap,

as bas been suggested, this organisation andexperience, and to jettison tho advantages

for which they have boon responsible oi tomaterially interfere with such organisationwould he t.ho wildest folly. . The paramount, need of the moment is a carefulstock-taking and deliberate, unhurried surveyof ilio -whole position. Wo ought to pro-ceed with that caution demanded by theenormous value and expense of the interestsinvolved. Wo must, not by precipitateaction (which should be avoided at all costs)commit ourselves to what might eventuallyprove a retrograde and costly step. . Athorough understanding of the situationconfronting the industry, and particularlyof all the responsible factors, is needed.Nearly all the schemes so far propoundedassume that stabilisation is immediatelypossible. This is far from the case. .Itwould be tremendously difficult to bringabout. To secure anything approachingstabilisation would entail a groat deal ofrare and an immense amount of labour,time, and cost, in Ihe preparation andelaboration of tho plans involved. NT opractical argument has -been advanced toprove that any stabilisation would ever bea success.

THE GARDEN.WORK FOE THE WEEK.

NOTES BY D. TANNOCK, F.R.H.S.

THE GREENHOUSE AND NURSERY.

Chrysanthemums will now be past theirbest, and a start can be made to put incuttings to provide the display next sea-son. The soil for rooting cuttings neednot be rich, but it must be open and easilydrained, and a mixture of librous loam,leaf mould, and sand in equal parts willdo. This is passed through a half-inchsieve and the rough material saved to putover the crocks. All cuttings root betterin pots than boxes, but where large quan-tities are required the single and decorativekinds root well in boxes, A little heatstimulates rooting, but as the chrysanthe-mum is a perfectly hardy plant it is de-sirable to put the cuttings out into the coolgreenhouse as soon as they have rooted,and to put them up near the glass to pre-

vent their becoming drawn and spindly.The most, important thing is to preventthem from wilting, and when put in anordinary greenhouse among other plantsit, is better to fix up a small frame whichcan be stood on the bench and coveredwith a. feyj sheets p£ .glass. This should

be removed for a little "while in the morn-ing when all moisture is wiped off them,but replaced and shaded when the sun be-comes stronger.

The best cuttings are those which ariseround the flowering stems of the oilplants, but if those arc scarce those whicharise on the stem will do. Cuttings whichaTe from two to three inches in length aremade by removing the leaves from thepiece of stem which is buried in theground, then cutting across immediatelybelow a node or joint, dipping them in asolution of bisulphide of potassium (liverof sulphur, loz, dissolved in a gallon ofwater) and allow to dry before inserting.Cuttings are usually placed round the in-

side of the pots, from 3 to 5 inches each, orabout 2in apart in boxes.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.The present time is not very suitable for

planting in the flower garden. The soilis too hard in the mornings, and in theafternoons when it ihas thawed it is

sticky. The pruning and digging or fork-ing of shrubbery borders can be pushedon, specimen trees can also be pruned ananew beds and borders trenched. Gladiolieorras can bo lifted, old dahlia roots dUt,up and the summer-flowering chrysanthe-mums can bo lifted and put into boxes toprovide cuttings later on. Complete thepruning of rambler roses, and, after clean-ing round them, give a good dressing ofwell-rotted mature, which can be dug in

lightly or covered with some fresh soil.Ramblers are greedy plants, which mustmake lots of new wood each year if theyare to remain healthy and flower well.

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.Continue to clean off spent crops, to

prune fruit trees and bushes, and to dig

or trench all vacant ground. This is agood time to procure a supply' of manure,and to get the best out of it it is advisableto extract the heat for raising and bring-ing on seedlings or for forcing vegetables.

To prepare a hot bed a load or more offresh strawy horse manure should bemixed with an equal quantity of leaves,the heap being thrown up loosely in alter-native layers of manure and leaves. V henheated right through it should be turnedover, the outside being put in the centreand the centre thrown on the outside toensure even fermentation-

Soa kale, crambe is a nativeof the coastal regions of England, andwhen forced and blanched, or simply

blanched, provides a useful vegetable at atime when there » little variety. itscultivation ie simple, provided that it is

planted on well-trenched, well-manured landwith a little salt added to make it feelat home. It can be grown from thefleshy roots put in as cuttings or from seedthe latter being the best way to work upa stock and the former for maintainingit. When grown, from seed two methodscan bo adopted. It can bo sown in drillsabout 12in apart on well-prepared ground,and when the seedlings are largo enoughto handle these axe thinned out to omapart. The following spring the plantsare lifted and planted out in their perma-nent positions at a distance of 30in apartin the rows, the same distance being leftbetween tho rows, for, being stronggrowers, they require plenty of room.They will not bo strong enough to forceuntil the spring of the third year, butafterwards they will continue to provideshoots for eight or nine years. Anothermethod is to sow where tho plants areto grow, the ground being marked outwith little sticks at the same distance apartas recommended for tho final planting. Alittle depression can bo made at each stickinto which some lino soil is placed, andtho seeds are sown in this. The seedlingsare afterwards thinned out to one at eachspot, and a® this saves transplanting, withthe consequent root disturbance, it ensuresstronger crowns.

When tho old plants are lifted for thepurpose of forcing them in pots or boxesthe smaller thongs or side shoots aretrimmed off, and from these fresh plantsare raised. They are cut into piecesabout 4in in length, and to distinguishthe top end, which is important when plant-ing, so that they may bo put with theright side up, it is cut straight acrossand the lower end oat with a slant. Thceeare tied into bundles and buried in theground, until the spring, when they areplanted out as usual at a distance of 3Cinapart each way. ■Anyone with a heated frame or green-house can maintain supplies throughout thowinter by lifting a few' roots at a time,packing these fairly close together in alOin pot, using a light soil, and placingthe pot near tno hot-water pipes, but notwhere tho temperature will exceed 60dog,To excludeTight completely, which is mostessential, another pot the same size isinverted over the one with the roots, andthia ifi again "covered with a sack. Afterthe shoots have" been cut the old rootsaxe thrown away and more brought in tokeep up the supplies until the spying,when forcing and blanching can bo donein the open ground. Proper " sea kalepots, which have a lid on top, can beused, or c/di*>ary pots or boxes will do.To maintain supplies over a longer perioda portion of the pots should be coveredwith a mixture of hot fermenting manuremixed with an equal quantity of leaves,a portion covered with leaves mainly, anda portion simply covered to keep the lightout to secure blanching. The heat ofthe manure will bring on the crowns underit first. When these are, used those underthe leaves will come in, and those coveredto exclude the light will come in last.

Mustard and cress are very welcome saladplants, and anyone with a greenhouse,vinery, frame, or even a warm verandah

can keep up supplies by making occasionalsowings' throughout the winter and spring.For this purpose shallow boxes axe pre-pared with the usual drainage and filledwith light soil, which is made smooth andlevel on the surface. Tho seed is sownand pressed into the soil, watered andcovered with paper until it germinates, andto hasten germination tho boxes are oftenplaced on the hot-water pipes under thestage, and lifted up to tho light when ger-mination has taken place. To prevent dirtgetting up among the seedlings I haveseen pieces of tiffany or thin scrim placedon top of the soil, but with careful cuttingthis is not necessary. As the cress seeddoes not germinate so quickly as the mus-tard it should be sown a few days inadvance to bring both into use at the sametime.

To obtain nice, fresh, early lettuce agentle hotbed can bo made up in a frameand the manure and loaves covered withlabout three inches of fine soil. The seedcan either bo sown broadcast or in drills,but, in any case, the seedlings should bethinned out to about two inches apart andas the leaves are all young and tender anyfurther thinnings are of use, and these arepulled as required until tho plants havesufficient room to form hearts. All the.YearRound is a good variety for forcing.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.R. 8., Ashburton.—lt is certainly very

difficult to eradicate oonvolvolus, but it canl>e kept in check, and in time exterminatedby digging. out the roots during thewinter and keeping the surface soilconstantly hoed during the summer,thus preventing overhead growth withoutwhich the roots will perish. Unfor-tunately it usually takes up a position in ahedge or among shrubs. Weedkiller canbo applied to the path and the lawn mowerwill kill it in the grass. You can plant theapricot and nectarine trees provided thesoil round the stem is kept cultivated.

A. II.—Soda is more suitable for spray-ing fruit trees than potash, and I describeda soda wash in last week’s notes. Youmust not dry off fibrous rooted begonias.Give sufficient water to prevent wiltinguntil growth is more active.

J. C. S. Sumner.—Epicure is one of themost satisfactory potatoes to grow for theearly market. It is true that the tubersare a bit coarse, but this is no drawbackwhen they are used green. They havestrong tops which withstand the wind, andthey crop well. You could get most of thenewer varieties of potatoes from the MoaSeed Farm, Hirmbarton, Otago. If yoursoil is well drained and deeply cultivatedit is better to plant on the flat and earthup afterwards, but if it is wet, planting onridges will provide additional drainage.

“Althea,” Glenonuiru.—Rose of Sharon isnot suitable for a small garden and isbetter planted on a bank or semi-wasteplace. It is better to first dig the soilround your rhubarb nnfi then to apply themanure as a mulch. Passion fruit are notlikely to ripen now. The plant enclosed isone of tho annual linariaa commonly calledToddflax.

ROTATION OF CROPS.

Written for the Otago Daily Times.

By ,1. Fi.emixg, F.R.H.S.While rotational work may bo based on

rule? and regulations it must be obviousto everyone that the advantages derivedfrom a good rotation of crops are many.One particular plant demands differentfood ingredients from another. It isgenerally found that plants of one orderare much alike in that respect. By chang-ing the crop every year, then, certain in-gredients are not drawn upon in excess,and so a more even balance is kept up inthe soil—not a dearth of some things andan excess of others. Deep-rooting plantsremove much of the fertilising richness ofthe lower strata of soil, while the fibroussurface-rooting crops to follow would findthe upper layer (six to nine inches) quiterich in plant foods. A full use of thewhole ground is thus made, and the soilis not so quickly' exhausted. Now thatinsect and fungoid pests have become sopowerful in the garden, everything mustbe done to see that they are not allowedto secure a strong hold. Continuous crop-ping with the same plants nurses diseases,and so the vigour of the plants decreasesthrough the inability of the soil to keep upsupplies of food material. Variationchecks these pests, and diseases may', wltncareful work, disappear entirely.

Some crops are thin leaved or of an erecthabit of growth, and weeds are able tosprout up and usurp the light and, foodwhich should fall to the plant, but if asuccession of broad-leaved and narrow-leaved plants is kept up the weeds nevercause much trouble. The amateur withhis small plot finds difficulty at times instanding flrmly by rules. The kitchendemands often fix the year’s cropping, ami

it may be that large supplies of one ortwo particular plants upset the balancedsystem of work. Soil, too, determines thecropping, for one kind of land will notgrow certain crops at all. ■or grows themwith such poor returns that the work isfar from being economical. Rich soilsstand, exhausting rotations, while poorland requires careful nursing. Heavy landgrows some plants well, while othersfail entirely in it. A limey or calcareousland may suit many crops, yet others willnot succeed there. I’eaty loam is toosour for some plants, while othejrs growrampantly in It. Climate is a factor thatis not to be neglected, and dry districtsrequire different treatment from thosehaving a heavy rainfall. Cool districtsmay not offer the exact habitat that cer-tain varieties demand, while minor de-tails occasionally spring up for considera-tion. Weedy soils must have crops whichwill stifle these pests and clean the land."Want of drainage may make a soil wet andcold, and therefore quite unsuitable formany a crop.

While I have made it clear that nohard and fast rule can be laid down inthis matter, experience proves that cropsof tho same botanical order are more Or

less alike in their demands, and so achange 10 another plant, of the same orderdoes not mean rotation at all. Continuouslygrowing a similar crop on tho same landis highly injurious to the fertility of thesoil, and very soon tho ground becomes“sick” of that particular plant, and willnot give profitable returns of it. Allmembers of the hrassica family are alikefrom the point of view of rotation, bur.they differ from beans and peas,' and ajsofrom carrots, lettuce, or potatoes. Theuse of manure may put off the need forrotation from year to year, but. even thiswill not stay tho advance of depreciation,and no manure yet on the market is ableto retain the fertility of soil unimpairedunder continuous cropping with one kindof plant Some crops bestow benefits onthe border that are not to bo despised,and advantage should bo taken of that fact.A few open up the soil and help to renderit friable, and those of the pea and beanfamily enrich the soil by adding to thestore of certain plant foods, and continuouscropping with them would cause a waste-ful excess, whereas by changing tho cropsthese materials bestow benefits on futureplants. Short rotations are scarcely ofany advantage, and in small gardens thofour-course rotation I find to he the best.

Shallow rooting plants should followthose that root deeply. Ix)oso growing orfine-leaved crops should succeed those thatcompletely hide the ground with theirfoliage. Plants of which the seeds orleaves arc of value should come after thosegrown for the sake of their roots or tubers.Rotation in the flower garden should alsobe practised as far as possible, and no par-ticular bed should contain tho same kindof plant more often than once in four years.Herbaceous borders, which in some gardensin and around the City of Dunedin havenever been anything else, do not permit ofthe usual kind of rotation, yet if some kindof scheme of rotation were practised muchenhanced results are obtained. Unfor-tunately, it is rather difficult to draw upa scheme here without knowing what plantsare likely to be grown, but the gardenerwho makes constant use of a certain seriesof plants will soon manage to arrange themin a suitable way. Herbaceous plants areimproved by a change of position, and thesoil then is not exhausted in tho samedegree if the roots are lifted every fourthyoar and given a change of site. Rosehushes, too. are improved by being trans-nlanted into a new border or in the samehole among a supply of fresh, rich com-post in order to obtain the benefits ofrotation, but the slow-growing woodyplants should have their system of rota-tion extended to a much prolonged period.Finally, when wo find it inconvenient tochange tho plants in any particular borderwo can change the soil instead, removingthe old surface layer and adding an en-riched compost to take its place, thusgiving a new lease of life to the plants andenhanced glory to the border.

DEAR HARBINGER

She is almost due, gowned in the lilacmauve beloved of old-time gentlewomen.Some name her the Chinese primula, othersthe Cashmere primrose. The wise, book-learned men have a Latin name for her,which I forget with great patience everytime I hear it.

This dear harbinger of flower-tide is push-ing up the crowns of bloom that soonwill make witchery of our garden ways.Snowdrops and aconites have sent theirbanners out against the winter’s spite. Soonthe Cashmere primrose will carry the blithestandard forward.

“Harbinger” she is to me, and, I fancy,if she were asked, that she would admitmy right to give her a pet name of myown. Many years have passed since avillage schoolmaster higher up the Dalegave me my first root. Since then I havebeen constant to her service, until now youare never sure in what odd nook and cornera clump of mauve blossom may shinethrough the nipping east wind days. “Plants,like humans, know when you love them,”an old gardener said to mo one day; ‘andonce they know that, you can do almostanything with them.”

That has been my experience of Har-binger. I have planted her in the wind-swept open, in the little strip of woodlandby the stream: and in shade or sun shethrives, eager to humour my caprices. Likeail courageous optimists, she is apt tothink the best of those subtly treacherousdays Unit come in mid-December, whenwarm airs blow and gnats come out of theircrannies. For this reason the safest quartersfor her are in positions slightly sheltered,but not too secluded from nip of pessimistwinds that ebook her hopefulness.

Harbinger Wes to be tucked up in lime-stone pockets with moistish soil for herfeet; and that is fortunate, for the roundheads of bloom, showing against tile softgrevs of the stone, have a beauty not to bodescribed by any pen.

A true-hearted gardener must always havesomething of the evangelist about him. Inall the years that Harbinger and I haveshared, 1 can remember no one who, seeingher in full bridal dross, has failed to yieldinstantly to her strange, appealing charm.She is, in some deep sense of the word, amystic flower, and lays a happy spell onmen. She is, too, a this world’s creature,brave and buoyant though winter whistledown the steeps. And that is why onewould like more folk to bo acquainted withDear Harbinger.—The Garden.

LITERATURE.AMY LOWELL

A POLYPHONIC POET,

By Constant Reader.Scarcely has the ink had time to dry

on the lengthy English, and American re-views of Miss Amy Lowell’s monumentalbiography of John Keats, when nows is tohand of the sudden death of the author.'ihe.ro is a fitness, perhaps, in the factthat virtually her last work was this '‘Life”ofbKeats, because a , chance acquaintancewith Keats's poetry proved the turningpome in Amy Lowell’s life. Writing to afrhlpu in March, 1918. Amv Lowell said:

'Like all young poets, 1 was influenced� j{T everybody in turn, but I think the- person who interested mo most pro-

foundly was Keats, although my. laterv.ork resembles his so little. 1 am acollector of Keats manuscripts, and havespent, much time in studying his erasuresand corrections, and they taught me mostof what I know about poetry; they anda very interesting book which is seldomig’d to-day—Leigh Hunt’s “Imagination■and Fancy.” 1 discovered the existenceof Keats through that volume, as myfamily read very little of what was con-sidered in those days “modern poetry”;and although my father had Keats inhis library, Shelley was barred on accountof his being an atheist. I ran acrossthis volume of Leigh Hunt's when I \vasabout, fifteen, and it turned mo definitelyto poetry.Amy Lowell is a New Englander by

birth and breeding; herself a cosmopolitanradical, sho comes of distinguished ancestry.Belonging exclusively to Massachusetts, ohohas boon described as ‘‘a born patrician anda reborn Liberal." Born at Brookline,Mass.J on February 9, 1874, she came of afamogjs family. James Russell Lowell wascousin to Amy Lowell’s grandfather, andher maternal grandfather, Abbott • Law-rence, was also Minister to England. Hereldest brother, nineteen yoare elder thanshe, was the late Percival Lowell, a scien-tific astronomer with a poetic imaginationumi aft charming and interesting personnlitv.Another brother, Abbott Lawrence Lowell,was President of Harvard.

Amy Lowell- was -nearly thirty years cfears tpien she decided to devote her life topoetry; and as a preliminary to attempt-ing to write she spent eight years in patientstudy.! -As a child she had travelled withher family in Europe; she passed onewinter on .the Nile and another on a Caii-fomiap fruit- ranch; and yet another winterin Turkey and Greece. She was thirty-sixyears*of age when hpr first printed versoappeared in the Atlantic Monthly; and herfirst published book of poems, “A Dome ofMany Coloured Glass,” did not appear until’JJ#lO. 'A second book, ‘‘Sword Blades andPoppyt Seed,” followed in 1914, and in1916 was published what competent criticsesteeifi her best book, “Men. Women, andGhosts,” and which contains tha poem bvwhich she is best known, in Dunedin andthroughout Otago—vis., “Patterns.”

In 1916 Messrs Constable and Co., ofLondon, issued a number of red-coveredbooks under the title of “The Mew PoetrySeries,” amongst them a volume called“ Sopje Imagist Poets.” A few copiesfound their way to the dominion, and thereensued the beginning of the interminablebattlol on the merits nr demerits of theNew Poetry. And defenders of the de-parture pointed triumphantly to "Patterns”as proof that a poet of the vers-libre schoolw«a abie to produce a real poem.“Patterns” at once became a first favouriteand the discerning were led to make astudy - of Amy Lowell’s verse.

Ib6 Imagist school of poetry, of whichAmy iLrowell is ton© of the leaders, conformto sii main principles, which are thus de-scribed. First, to use the exact word;second, to create new rhythms; third, toallow: absolute freedom in the choice ofsubject; fourth, to present an image; fifth,to nroduce poetry that is bard and clear;sixth, to study concentration. ProfessorW. Ta Phelps claims that “Patterns”, con-form? to all six requirements, and that itis at the s’Tno time “simple, sensuous, *'as-

iionafe.” He says:—I Tike it for many reasons—because it

is rfcal, intimate, confidential; because itnarrates a tragic experience that is alltoos common in actual life; because itstrajjfely is enhanced by dramatic con-trails,' the splendour of the bright,brejjzy, sunlit garden contrasting withthefroad of ashen spiritual desolation thesoul must take;, the splendour of thegorgeous sirlt brocade and the futilityof The blan.4-,: soft, imprisoned flesh; theobstreperous heart, beating in joyousharjnony with the rhythm of the sway-ingl.flowers, changed -by one written wordinto a desert of sllencto. It is the sud-

annihilation of purpose and signi-ficance in a body and mind vital withit; sd that as we close the poem we seemto see-for ever moving up and down thegarden a stiff-brocaded gown, movingwith no volition. The days will pass;the daffodils will change to roses, toasters, to snow; but the unbroken pat-tern of desolation will change not.In the preface to “Mon, Women, and

Ghosts," Miss Amy Lowell describes hawshe first reached the idea of constructingverse on the plan of what has been called“polyphonic prose.” She says:, “It haslong been a favourite idea of mine that therhythms of vers fibre have not been suffi-ciently plumbed. I think it was the pianopieces of Debnfcsy, with their strange like-ness to short vers fibre poems, which firstshowed me the close kinship of music andpoetry, and there flashed into my mindthe idea of using the movement in poetryin the same way that the musician usesthe movement of music. It was uniteevident that this could never be done inthe strict pattern of a metrical form, butthe flowing fluctuating rhythms of versfibre seemed to open the door to suchmethod as applied to the more pronouncedmovements of natural objects. If thereader will turn to the poem “A EoxburyGarden” he will tmd in the first two sec-tions an attempt to give the circular move-ment of a hoop bowling along the ground,and the up and down elliptical curve.of adying shuttlecock ’’

The following is obviously an experiment,and it is only piloted as an extreme instanceof polyphonic imagiam:—

Stella sings:1 [cop, hoop,Holl along,Faster howl along.Hoop.Plow, to the turning,Kow ro! Go!Quick!Hero's the stick,Knt-a-tap-tap it.Fat it, flap it.I'lv like a bin! or n yellow-backed bee,Peo how soon you cam reach that tree.Here i» a path that is perfectly , straightBolt, along, hoop, or we shall be late.

Minhat.singa:—:J’rip_ about, slip about, whip about

Hoof,VFheeJ like top at its quickest spin,

dear hoop, w<4 shat! surely win.First to the greenhouse, and then to the wallCi-eft iuul circle.And' 'let the wind push you.Poke you,Brush you.And not let you fall.Whirring you: round like a wreath of mist,Hoopety hoop,Twist,Twist,

There may be a difference of opinionWhether a bowling hoop and a flyingshuttlecock are fit subjects for a poetictheme, but at least this much may beHffirtoed that never in orthodox poetry orprose can be given such rhythmical andaccurate description as in this new poly-phonic medium of which Miss AmyBowel! was one of the chief exponents.Lefining that medium Miss Lowell has ex-plained that while regularly stressed versemay bo represented by a lino sharplycurved back upon itself, and while ortho-dox prose may he represtutd by an un-dulating line running straight ahead inany one direction, free verse may bo repre-sented i)y a ime with a curve less sharpthan the line, representing regularly stressedverse. But the polyphonic prose, intro-duced into the English language by MissLowell, and who is the only writer whohas attempted to «pply it to Englishpoetry, is a new kind of organic poetry.

In “Mew Verses" described as “an intro-duction to contemporary poetry” Miss Mar-guerite Wilkinson, an American poet andcritic, says of polyphonic prose;—

It is a prose with typical cadencesreiterated- at intervals and with manythymes and sound echoes. ■ Like regularverse and like the best free verse itsscuvo is genuine emotion. But, like

. prose, it is not lyrical It does not sing,die lines of it move forever forward.There is no backward curve, no return.It is therefore an admirable form fornarratives. For it intensifies our senseof excitement and bears us on to theend with a greater fluency than that of

.ordinary prose. The reading of poly-phonic prose gives a sense of rapid move-ment that love! unxhymod irose. lacks.TTho quality of Miss Lowell's nolyphonieproao "rhythms is essentially dramatic.Miil Wilkinson quotes from Mass LowaTo

“The. Bronze Horse,” which she describesns “a superb dramatic poem,” the follow-ing lin© as showing what polyphonic prosecan be at its best;—

What is that sound? The marble oilyshivers to the treading of feet. Cassar slegions marching—foot, —foot—-h umlrcds,thousands of feet. They boat tho ground,rounding each step double. Coining—-coming—cohort after cohort, with brazentrumpets marking the lime. One—two —

one—Uu--laurel crowned each one ofyou, cactus-fibred, harsh as sand grindingtho rocks of a treeless land, rough andsalt as Head Sea wind, only tire fallenare left behind. Blood-red plumes, jar-ring' to tho footfalls; they have passedthrough the gate, they are in tho wallsof the mother city, of marble Rome.Back to Home with a victor’s spoils, witha. victor's wreath on every head, andJudah broken is dead, dead ! ‘Jotriumphs!’ The shout knocks and breaksni>on the spears of the legionaries.It is claimed for Amy Lowell that not

only is she the inventor of polyphonic prosebut also that sho is the chief of tho luing-ists. “The poets who have called themselvesImagists,” says Miss Wilkinson, “are mornemphatic than other poets in affirming theirbelief in (ho use of images. . . . Brieflystated, this is their ideal of what a poemshould be—an imago or series of relatedimages, presented in organic rhythm andsuggesting a mood. . . . But there isa measure of truth in their credo. Andit has value as an antithetical remedy forthe ills of Victorian diffuseness, vagueness,and sentimentality. . . . Imagists areseldom guilty of trite phrases and dullsimiles. They have brought new colourinto poetry and new impressions of thebeauty of the external world.”

Miss Wilkinson dubs Amy Lowell thegreatest of tho Imagists, “indeed, morethan an Imagist,’’ and she says:

Certainly she can do marvellous thingswith images and symbols. Like Ahojinh,

■ son of Ahisamoch, sho is “an engraver,and a cunning workman, and an cm-

’ broiderer in blue, and in purple, and inscarlet and fine linen.” Other poetsmust lav tho floor plans and rear thoprops tliat uphold the tabernacle ofpoetry; others must fashion au ark tokeep sacred for ever the covenant that womade with beauty and virtue. Others, tospeak more briefly, must bo over realistsand idealists. Miss Lowell is primarilya cunning workman, an artificer in bril-liant colours, an engraver of fine designs.

No- one con rightly evaluate MissLowell’s work who will not. accept thofact that she is always a conscious artist.Sho goes far afield, sometimes, for thematerials of her poems. But. sho selectsthem with care. She uses tho lives ofpeople who live on New-England farms

, 10-flay, or Hie lives of quaint swash-bucklers who lived a century ago andhalf a world away. She shows picturesof strange and vivid things that she hasseen in a wide and vivid world. Shomakes these pictures out of tho juxta-position of odd trifles with scents andhues and textures that she likes. Andin her best work she gives us frostydesigns in thought as clear as glass, flash-ing pattern of feeling as warmly colouredas glossy skeins of embroidery silk—blueand purple and scarlet,, silver_ and goldShe distills sensations that ’sting like' afiery liqueur. Sho threads together im-pressions as frail as a flutter of old lace.She is a poet of -vigorous, penetrative,and incessantly communicative imagina-tion.One of the best examples of Amy Lowell’s

Imagist method is seen in her “Cornu-copia of Red and Green Comfits.” describedas a “Phantasm” of the Great War. “RoilSlippers” is an example of the “polyphonicprose,’’ and another excellent example is“Solitaire,” which is descriptive of herhabit of writing at night when ail thoworld is asleep;—' When night drifts along the streets of the city.

And sifts down between tho uneven roofs,My mind begins to peek and peer,It plavs at ball in old, blue Chinese gardens,And shakes wrought (fletreups in Vagan temples,Amid the broken datings of white pillars.It dances with purple and yellow croooscs m its

hair, , . ,

And its feet shine as they.flutter over drenchedgrasses,

How light and laughing my mind is.When all the good folk have put out their bed-

room candlc-s,And the elfcy w still IAlmost every anthology and especially

those of American origin contain examplesof Amy Lowell’s verso. Mr Louis Unter-

; inoyer in “Modern American Poetry”iselect* “Free Fantasia, on JapaneseThemes” and “Madonna of the EveningFlowers,” from Amv Lowell’s “Pictures ofthe Floating World,” and says: “Study thehighly decorative poetry of Amy Lowell;see how she has responded to Oriental andFrench influences and how she has intoi-poratod them in her work with a touchentirely her own.” Which is a reminderthat Miss Lowell is author of “Six FrenchPoets,” published in 1916, and of "‘Ten-dencies in Modern American Poetry/issued two years later. In “Modern Ameri-can Poets,” selected by Conrad Aiken, thereare several examples of Amy Lowell’sverso, including “Vernal Equinox,” “Soli-taire,” “Merchandise,” “Little IvoryFigures Pulled With String,” and “ALady,” not forgetting “The Oitv of FallingLeaves,” surely one of tho most remark-able word pictures, of Venice ever painted.Discussing “Some. Contemporary AmericanPoets,” Mr John Gould Fletcher refers totho fact that tho “feeling of Now Eng-land” is present in almost all her poems.“Strangest thing of all,” ho writes, “bothsections of tho poem called ‘1777’ are fullof it. The second part, of this poem issupposed to deal with Venice. Ikit hasanyone pictured Venice aa a ‘City of Fall-ing Leaves’? Such a city, one may hesure, is much nearer in actual geographyto Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts.Pare off the trappings of this poem—perhapsthe best thing Miss Lowell has written—-and one gets cultivated Boston society asit has existed for the last quarter-century.Tho same superficiality, the same weari-ness, the same exhausted concealed hanker-ing of the flesh. And the loaves arefalling on it all, forever falling.”

Tho best tribute to Amy Lowell's memoryis the declaration of Tho Time,-, LiterarySupplement that her “Life of Keats” “willbe essential to all who seriously devotethemselves to the study of Keats”; andthat she “has done valuable service by hergenerous biography.” To this may bnadded the dictum of the Now York TimesBook Review": “Until tho publication ofibis work, the biography by Sir SidneyColvin ha« stood as tho standard and defi-nitive account of Jchn Keats. But SirSidney, in view of the now material nowmade available by Miss’ Lowell, and hermany corrections of much that had previ-ously been accepted, must yield place.Amy Lowell's ‘John Keats,’ one is forcedto believe, will henceforth hold rank as theultimate biography.”

A MEDLEY OF BOOKS.ALL SORTS OF SUBJECTS.

By Constant Header

T.—EVERYDAY ESSAY'S.Probably no class of book is more popu-

lar titan what may bo called the EverydayEssay, touching on familiar things lightlyami pleasantly and wiUi the incral impliedrather than expressly stated. .Of this sortis Sir James Yoxalla volume on “Live andLearn; or the Art of Living,” which con-tains over a score of short papers treatingof such varied topics as a salt-cellar, coffeeand hats, a wheel, on doorstops, a baro-meter, hassocks, etc,, elc. r J he. papers arepleasantly written, and they combine* theimpressions of a keen observer with thesound common-sense of a man of wideexperience of life.

llEVERLASTING YOUTH.This is a day in which, beyond every-

thing else, the endeavour is to keep andto be young. Old ago is at a discount andthe ravages of lime are concealed anddissipated. Consequently an amount of in-terest attaches to the work of Si.oinhacn,Yoronotf, and others who by stimulation ofthe glands aim at (he, rejuvenation of man-kind, and all the information available hasbeen compressed by Mr Norman ilnireinto a book of some 200 pages under thotitle of “Rejuvenation.” Mr Haire is nounbalanced enthusiast, but rather a criticalobserver of other men’s work in the lightof his own experiments. He carefullyweighs tho evidence for and against, andis content with a guarded approval. Whilewriting primarily for tho educated layman.Mr Ilairc has aimed at making his state-ment of the case sufficiently technical tosatisfy the medical reader in search of ageneral statement. In a foreword ho re-marks:

It is frequently asked whether the Re-juvenation operations actually prolonghuman life or not. It is impossible toanswer this with a simple yes or no,because it is impossible to know whatago tho individual would have lived towithout operation. But it. is certain thata rat operated on by Steinbach did liveto the age of 07 months, while three ofhis brothers and sisters, without anoperation, died at the usual ago of about28 mouths. This is an increase of over25 per cent- on tho average length of lifearid seems pretty conclusive. Whether asimilar prolongation of life will occur m(ho human subject it is still too early todecide. There is a great deal of evi-

dence available from investigators malmost every country of tho world, thatthe operation is usually followed by aconsiderable improvement in the patient shealth..Mr Ilairo has had the advantage of

mooting Stoinbach, _ Lichtenstein, andSchmidt, and discussing the matter withthem besides having operated and observed25 cases of his own. Ho gives high praiseto Stcinb-ich’s laboratories, in. the old Viva-rium building in the Prater at Vienna.He gives an account of experiments onanimals conducted by Steinbach, Voronoff,Thorek, and Band; and of experiments onhuman beings, both Varoligaturo and Tes-licidar transportation conducted by Lichten-stein, Schmidt, and others. Ho also detailssuch operations as the transplantation andstimulation of ovaries. A final chaptersummarises the criticisms, made and conclu-sions reached; and Mr Ilairo savs: “It isimpossible to decide at present whether anyof these operations actually prolong life.

III—THE FILM IN EDUCATION.. Under tho title of “The Cinema in Edu-cation, ’ Sir James Marchant has editedfor publication - the report , of tho psycho-logical investigation conducted liy specialsub-committees appointed by the CinemaCommission of Inquiry established by theNational Council of Public Morals. It is

a most valuable arid Instructive documentmeriting close study by -all who have thowelfare of the rising generation at heart.

The terms of reference of tho commis-

sion included “an inquiry into tho phy-sical, social, educational, and moral influ-ences of the cinema with special referenceto voung people,” and in the course of theinquiry figures wero prosontftd showing thoimmensity of the industry:

Carefully tabulated returns of attend-ances have been kept, and these showedthat in the United Kingdom there areno fewer than 1,075,875,000 attendancesat picture shows in tho course of a singleyear. In tho British Isles there wereapproximately 4500 theatres with a meanseating capacity which' affords sealingaccommodation for one in every 37 oftho population. On the basis of thesefigures the enth'e population of thoUnited Kingdom visits picture shows ap-proximately once each fortnight. About5000 now “subjects” wore issued ouchyear, and some 70,000,000ffc-. of film arerunning through the projectors of thocountry each week. From 80,000 to100,000 persons were directly engaged inthe various branches of the trade. Andin thickly-populated areas about 90 percent, of the elementary school- populationfrom eight to 14 years of ago frequentthisTho commission was informed by repre-

sentatives of tho trade that the publicwould not tolerate a greater admixture ofeducational films than- Id per cent, in amixed programme, and thus was driven tothe conclusion that under existing condi-tions tho educational film had failed tomake an appropriate appeal to the schoolchild. Accordingly, comprehensive andcostly experiments wore undertaken witha view of devising a satisfactory schemeof educational films. ' These experimentsare described in detail, and they should bocarefully studied by the educationalauthorities of the dominion.

IV—A BOOK FOR GARDENERS.Tho culture-tof gladioli is arousing a

great deal of enthusiasm among both ama-teur ami professional gardeners, and thonew varieties to-day appearing are not onlyrare in colour but, exquisite in form. Therehas consequently been a demand for fullerinformation on such points as the produc-tion of stock, the culture of the flower,and other points; all this and more Mr A.J. Macself has set himself to supply in abeautifully produced volume entitled simply“Gladioli” (Thorfitotl-Butterworth, 6s not).Indeed, it, is safe to suy that, anyone fightingshy of the largely technical letterpress willbe fascinated by the gorgeous illustrationsin colour, while the numerous half-tone pic-tures have their value to the gardener.

In addition to the technical details, whichcover such details of tho preparaton ofgladioli for exhibition and the cutting,packing, and staging of the flowers, MrMacself intersperses information attractiveto tho general reader. Writing, of theGladiolus of the Taat. ho says:

Tho Gladiolus was first introduced toBritain in 1596, the same year as thatin which tho first Cyclamen and (lieTomato name to us, truly an importantyear in its relation to modern horticul-ture.

Of the many species of tho genusGladiolus the majority are South Africanplants, but some are to bo found invarious' parts of Asia, and one. at anyrate—Gladiolus comm uni—in SouthernEurope.

So far ns practical horticulture is con-cerned there, is.not .much cause to lingerover the year of introduction or tho earlyculture of Gladioli iu this country. Woof to-'day sed but little of .original species,for tho "vast majority of Gladioli grownin British gardens are hybrids of con-siderable mixed .parentage, and, we shallfind more of direct practical interest instudying tho developments in this direc-tion which belong to the nineteenth cen-tury rather than earlier times.The modern developments of tho Gladioli

are outlined at length,' and Mr MacSelfsays:

So far as the future development of thelargo-flowered tribe is concerned it maybe held that the present pace, of progressis rapid enough, and even that there ialittle 1o complain of if further progressis made but slowly. Uo not let us tooreadily agree to this suggestion, for itis not solely tho rapid multiplication ofnow names that mean progress.Elimination of the inferior is part of thowork of progress that, should keep pacewith the production of novelties.The book is one which will appeal alike

to the grower for profit and to the amateurand tho exhibitor, to both classes Mr Mac-self offers a wealth of information whichhas been bought in the hard school of ex-perience.V.—A BOOK FOR NATURE LOVERS.A volume likely to make a more general

appeal is ‘'Marvels of Plant Life,’’ by E.Fitch-Daglish, I’ii.D., E.L.H. (Thomton-Buttorworth, 6s. net), a book in which thenumerous illustrations are a special feature.“It is -probably not too much to say,”writes Mr Daglish, “that in those days thointerest taken in plants is more widespread

anti general than at any previous time inhistory. Flowers of all kinds aro valuedby all classes an decorative, objects, and fewindividuals boasting a strip of ground ad-joining their dwellings havo not at sometime or other felt the promptings of theinborn gardener within, urging them toembark on the age-long hobby of horticul-ture. Despite this sympathetic attitudetowards plants, however, littfe ia knownby fho average layman of Iho intimato lifeand interna! processes of the members ofthe great Vegetable Kingdom, thoughsimilar details as they apply to animals arecommon knowledge.”

It is this knowledge concerning plant lifewhich Mr Daglish seeks to supply, and inso doing ho brings out many of fho mar-vels involved in the process—such, for in-stance, as fho wonderful way in which pomeplants feed, serving as fly-catchers and in-sect traps. The light-giving and sensitiveplants aro also dilated upon, and there isa capital chapter on “Going to Sleep,” andanother on “Deaves.” In the former con-nection Mr Daglish says;

The subject of the sleep of plants isone which has always appealed to theimagination of. nature lovers, and many

poets have been inspired by the con-templation of the nodding flowers at theapproach of dark. Country childrenare well acquainted with the fact thatseveral of the more familiar wild flowers“go to bod” at varying hours, when thefull heat and light of the day begins towane. Indeed, this habit of closing thepetals or drooping the flowers lias givenrise to a number of popular names bywhich several of our native plants areknown. Then we have the “Day’s Eye,”of which Daisy is a corrupt form, thego-to-hod-at-noon, and many more,which the reader will doubtless recall.Mr Daglish relates interestingly “The

Storyof the Flower,” this involving “SomeStrange Marriage Rites and Customs,”loading to “The Seed and the Fruit,”and “The Dispersal of the Seeds.” Allthis and much more besides makes fas-cinating and valuable reading for old amiyoung alike.

VI.—A UNIVERSITY HANDBOOK.The interest which to-day centres upon

University- affairs, the government, and con-duct of the Institution, and the question ofthe nature of examinations renders ofspecial interest “The Year Book, of theUniversities of the Empire” (G. 801 l am!Sms,- 7s 6d net), which has been editedby Mr W. 11. Dawson, and is publishedfor tho Universities Bureau of tho BritishEmpire. There' arc few subjects of first-class importance upon which a greaterdiversity of opinion exists than that ofuniversity education; how great is Unitdiversity appears in the pages of this,which was first issued in IAI4. In a pre-face Mr Dawson says of the volume:—

Before its advent tho official UniversityCalendars were tho only - authentic sourcesof information regarding tho personnel,organisation, .regulations, and recent ac-tivities of universities. When Britishuniversitiso were few and universitymen took hut little interest in the affairsof any except their own, the Calendarssufficed; but there are now 07, ami eachtakes a growing interest in the others.The Calendars constitute ft library of nomean dimensions—some fit),ooo pages—-and hardly anywhere except at the Uni-versities Bureau are they all accessible.Much of their contents is of strietly localinterest. In the Year Book an attemptis made to extract from each of thesebulky volumes such information as islikely to prove of interest to membersof other universities and colleges, togovernment departments, clubs, school-masters, and the public generally.

The scope and correctness of the infor-mation given may he judged by a refer-ence to the New Zealand suction, whichoccupies some .15 pages out of ft total ofover 800. The details in every respect arequite up to..date; but so far as Otago Uni-versity is concerned, revision is called forowing to the lamented death of Dr Andrew'Cameron. A number of valuable appen-dixes contain details of foreign universi-ties and other matters of interest to university men and women.

THE FIELD OF FICTION.RAPID REVIEWS

By Constant Readier.Miss Beatrice Grimshaw is not only a

born traveller but a gifted story-teller, andher "habitat, is peculiarly among the islandsof tho Pacific. “'The Candles of Kntara”(Hurst, and Blackett) is a collection ofstriking short stories which for iho mostpart, end somewhat surprisingly. Some ofthem aro sot in Papua and others inSamoa, but all aro full of the glamour andromance which belong to these sunnyregions. The dusky maidens havo an irre-sistible attraction for English youth, asshown in “Leie tho Princess.” Cannibalismis the theme of “The Wreck of the LadyRose,” whore the lot of the shipwreckedsailors being fattened for tho forthcomingfeast is realistically pictured. In “.Sabatho Shark," a French actress turned canni-bal offers a former lover tho choice ofmarriage or death by torture. _ Tho otherstories are distinguished by similar pleasingincidents; at the same time the romancecovers up a good deal of (he attendanthonor.

A second hook of short stories of quitea different class is “Criminal Yarns,” byT. C. Bridges (Hutchinson), and which arechiefly concerned with the convict class.These convicts are of all sorts, someheinously guilty and others comparativelyinnocent, but nil have their loves and hates,and their adventures, which often developinto misadventures, aro interestingly told.Some of them escape, only to be recapturedand occasionally one pet clear away. Themerit of this collection is that Mr Bridgesmakes the reader fool that after all convictsare human beings and deserve to'be con-sidered as such. The book is full of dra-matic episodes, and the-element of tho un-expected and of Iho unusual miters intoseveral of the stories. Tho criminal class i»a psychological study, and psychologistsmay be recommended to sample thesestories, which appeal also to tho generalreader.

A melancholy interest is attached to“Queen of the Dawn” (Hutchinson), inthat, since it was published, its author, SirRider Haggard, has passed away. Thenovel is described ns “A Love Tale of OldEgypt," hut it follows the lines of theauthor’s well-known romances. Among thecharacters aro a usurping Pharaoh, anheiress' both beautiful and rightful, and amysterious religibus fraternity governed bya powerful prophet. The prophet, wholives among tho tombs, rescues the infantdaughter of tho Pharaoh of Thebes, whohas been slain in battle. This prophet,Roy by name, is one of the immortals who,while feigning death, reappears at thocrucial moment to succour tho damsel indistress and to confound the villain. Thepart of Allan Quartermain is played by aNubian fighting man. Tho merit of RiderHaggard’s romances is that his charactersreally live and are not, so many marion-nnt.tcs who move when tho strings arepulled.

Mr Donn Byrne, who will bo gratefullyremembered as author of “Messer MarcoPolo,” has affinity with Mr James BranchCatoll in that ho lias invented a beautifullegend to act as framework for his latestromance, “Blind Raftery” (Sampson, Low,per Robertson and Mullens). The legendhas for hero an actual person, AnthonyRaftery, a wandering poet of Connaught,who lived between 178"} and 1835, andwhose songs have been edited by Dr Doug-las Hyde. The scene of the story is setin tho eighteenth century, and (he readeris introduced to an Ireland, still rich, stillpowerful and in love with its bards, whosesong won love and respect and gained muchgold. In that_ land Blind Raftery wanderswith his Spanish wife Hilnria, attended bya Scottish gillie, and where, though sight-less, ho has wonderful visions. There isa plot which rests on (he idea that lawlesslove may destroy bardic renown, hut inthe end true love conquers. A feature ofthe hook are tho many poems founded onGaelic originals and magnificently renderedby (ho author. There is a grand finalewhen Raftorjq chief poet of the Irishnation, romes to Dublin town and is wel-comed by the Irish Parliament, Lords andCommons, whilst the lands of England andScotland are staggering under tho prickingof the South Sea bubble.

When a stodgy man makes love to a“rapid” woman there ore only two alter-natives; cither the man must become“rapid” or (he woman stodgj-. This istho puzzle presented by the BaronessAlbert Sadoino in “Driftwood” (Hutchin-son). Antony Framlingham was stodgyin temperament, and he lived a stodgy life,surrounded by stodgy friends, until he metthe beautiful but, “rapid" widow, Eliza-beth Cardow. They actually got engaged,lint, did not marry, because the widow re-fused to be stodgy, and Antony did notsee his way to bo “rapid.” When Antonytook a business (rip to America Elizabethvisited Italy and became entangled withan Italian conut who had a Jealous mis-tress. Antony and Elizabeth eventuallyreached an understanding in a way whichthe reader may tie left to discover.

Zoe, a (ypiste by profession and a wrrr'onby nature, although only 18, causes tbs-.

aster when she enters the office of HarryUaurence. Harry is speedily under histypiste's thumb; but his wife is generousto a fault. Tibs is the burden of “In aShallow Cup,” a “first venture” by FliUlppaCook (Herbert Jenkins). The story is in-tended to embroider a dictum of Dr Eliza-beth Craven, a friend of Harry's wife, thatafte,r a certain interval of married life, aman, while his affection remains and hisloyalty to his wife continues, needs a freshobject to stimulate his senses. It Is not npleasant book; indeed, such a character asZoo is difficult to imagine, in real life,whilst Harry is an utter fool.

“Dr Kicardo,” by William Garrett(Hutchinson) is a detective story of anunusual kind. Douis Farrell is foundmurdered in the music room, and the mys-tery centres around the person of DrUicardo, Ihe famous musician. But DrRicardo has another side, he being inter-ested in the drug traffic, in which lie isaided by some criminal confederates. Theplot of the story ia an intricate one, andcalls for close attention if the threads areto be retained. JI ia safe to say tiiat fewrenders will be able to solve the mysterybeforehand.

Mr William Patterson White is experi-enced in the ways of ranchers, and in “TheTwisted Foot.” (Plodder and Stoughton) lielias written a well constructed and excit-ing story. There is war between the“Nestors,” as the small farmers in theWestern States are called, and the greaicattle interests; and the Fair family ha.lbeen unfortunate enough to settle on hindwhich the S 8 Ranch reckoned it had aright to. Buff Warren’s mission was tochase the Fair family out; instead ofwhich lie fell in love with Gillian Fair, theeldest daughter, and stayed to help herplough. The “Twisted Foot” is a mys-terious outlaw who tries to shoulder hisevil deeds on to Gillian, but Buff, aidedby his cousin Bill, dears up the mystery.There are. the usual accompaniment of thetraditional Wild West yarn.

Mr J. G. Savnriti tells a capitalromance of tbo French Revolution in “TheRomance of Three Ladies ’ (Hutchinson).According to tradition a. number of gallantgentlemen wore engaged during the darkdays of the Terror in rescuing the moreimportant of tho captive® destined for thetumbril and the guillotine; not. only so,but they gave Robespierre and' his followersgroat anxiety by revealing their plans be-forehand. This story relates tho activitiesof “Night Hawk” foremost in the rescuinghand and of his efforts on behalf cf “ThroeFair Ladies.” Tho story goes with a swingwith scarcely a halt and it may bo com-mended to lovers of a capital romance.

It is much to be feared that Mr HoraceAnnosley Vachcll has taken to pot-boiling;his admirers will' moot certainly be dis-appointed in “Walling’s for Work" (Dod-der and Stoughton). Walling’s is tho nameof a great emporium in the TottenhamCourt, ivoiul, London, and its self-made pro-prietor, his wife and daughter- and theirmansion in Maida Vaio ring quitefamiliarly. Gerry Marrable, a post-warofficer in the Guards falls in love with JoanWalling, a modern girl, and lie, being ofpoor parentage, is taken on at tho em-porium in the hope that he may makegood. Tbo story ends with n “.strike’’ atthe emporium ,which is most improbable;in fact,' tho book has little real interest.

“Brains Limited,” by Archie P.M’Kishnio (Hurst, and Blackett) is a“shocker" of an undoubted American typein which toughs, villians. and drug fiendsfigure galore. There is talk too of prohi-bition (hough who Hi or in Canada or theStates is not quite clear. To make thostory quite complete a hydroplane is intro-duced. Because lie is convinced that nilis not well with tho firm of Haight andTrolliver, Daniel Webster comes in dis-guise to Harport to inquire into tho in-terests of hia property. At once tbo baud

1logins to play, and there is a perfect whirl-wind of exciting adventure, it is a breath-less story.

Leonard Ferrers has discovered the secret,of atomic energy, and able to harness itho will rule the world. Ho is making otherdiscoveries also, but contents himself by-raising a storm which shatters Surrey. He(lieu threatens to precipitate a financialpanic by throwing on tho market tons ofhome-made gold. Lord Mareusson, resent-ing all such interference, decrees that Fer-rers shall ( ]io, and when Ferrers is marriedhe is given ground glass to oat. Therelining no known remedy, tho wedded pairdecide to die by the help of Ferrer’smachine, and the greatest storm the worldlias over seen ensues. All this and morein described bv Mr K. Charles Vivian in“Star Dust” (Hutchinson). It is a wildextravaganza, but well told, and on thewhole quite readable.

“The Stolon Scar," by Gret Lane (Her-bert Jenkins), ia tho story of a woman de-lect ivo who acts out to investigate a falsecharge of robbery and murder preferredagainst her father. He is arrested becauseiho murder was committed by a maskedman with a curious scar identical with thaton his own wrist, 'fho “she-sleuth,” sus-pecting the real murderer, sets to xvorkto “vamp" the, villain, and by dint ofsmiles and kisses she at length secures thoevidence necessary to acquit her father.Hie storv is of the American variety, butit scarcely moves as briskly ns it rmVht.A capital character is that of Sing bat,mi old Chinaman.

A Report from Petone"I have the greatest of pleasure in

highlyrecommending Vicks Vapoßub.I rubbed it on my children’s throatsand chests when they had the ‘flu.’My husband also used it freely duringthe ‘flu’ and we were so well satisfiedwith its goodresults that now I alwayskeep it in the house to have at handfor all our colds.”—Mrs. E. Pincocks,17Esplanode, Petone.

Avoid BronchitisSevere Colds on the ChestInvite More Serious Ills

Most medical authorities now agree that bronchitis,influenza and pneumonia are germ diseases, most com-monly spread by breathing in the germs. When themembrane of the air passages is in a healthy condition,nature is able to resist their attack. It is only when thebodily resistance is lowered, by a severe cold, for in-stance, that these germs are able to make headway.

Treat Colds Promptly This New External WayIt is important, therefore, thatevery

cold shouldbe treated at the very start.Since Vicks Vapoßub was introducedlast winter, thousands of New Zea-land families have adopted it as theeasiest and quickest method of check-ing colds. One of many appreciativeletters appears above.

When a severe cold on the chest per-sists, vigorous measures are necessaryif all danger is to be avoided. Give thepatient a hot bath and a laxative.Apply hot wet towels to thethroatandchest to open the pores. Massage brisk-ly with Vicks for five minutes. Spread

For Children's ColdsVicks is especially valuable for chil-

dren’s colds, because it is applied ex-ternally and, therefore, avoids “dos-ing” the stomach with so much inter-nal medicine. For colds in the head,nasal catarrh or asthma, just melt alittle Vicks in a spoon and inhale themedicated vapours. The healing,antisepticqualities of Vicks make it anexcellent application for cuts, bruises,stings, sunburn and muscular rheu-matism.

Vicks on thickly and cover with twothicknesses of warm flannel.

Used in this way Vicks has a two-fold action. It is absorbed through theskin like a poultice and, at the sametime, vaporised by the body heat andinhaled direct to the lungs. The bed-clothing should be left loose about theneck so that the vapours may be freelyinhaled. Repeat the whole treatmentevery few hours.

It is an obstinate cold indeed thatcan resist the double, direct actionof Vicks.

HYMN FOR THE AGED.Thy mercy heard my infant prayer;Thy love with all a mother's cave,Sustained my childish days;Thy goodness watched my ripening youthAnd formed my heart to love Thy truth,And tilled my lips with praise .

And now in age and grief r I h y nameDoth still my languid heart inflame,And bow rny faltering knee.-Oh ; let this bosom feel the fire.This drooping heart and trembling lyreHave yet a strain for- Thoc.Yes, broken, tuneless still. O Lord,This voice transported, shall record^Till sinking slow in calm decayIts feeble murmurs melt awayInto a seraph song.

Sir Robert Grant.

A PRAYER.O God, our loving Father, to whom ail

souls are dear, look down in mercy on Thychildren, who go astray and do evil becausethey have not found the way to Ihccthrough Jesus Christ. Send forth Thyquickening Spirit, that He may enter intothe hearts of men, and so change and re-new them that they may be dedicated toThy service. Grant to all pnvn fwrs andteachers the great joy of winning souls forThee, and do Thou grant Thy heavenlyaid to those who are being saved so thatthey may enter into the full joy and peaceof the eternal life. Wo ask it for Jesussake. Amen.

THE CHURCH IS THE BROTHER-HOOD.

When I drop my ecclesiastical differencesand try to be human and truly catholic, Isee that the Church is God’s object lessonin brotherhood to a broken and disgruntledworld. Nation suspects nation, politicianspikes politician, class hates class, labourie embattled against capital, and capitalbristles against labour. Will not God createa society that is a model and standard ofunity? That is what we are for—to befellowship binders, and if wo fail here ourlight is extinguished and our salt, has lostits savour. Don’t talk to me of thevalidity of your orders or the popularityof your services, have you the validity ofthe human touch and the brotherly grip?Jesus touches man and makes him one withGod. Jesus touches, men and makes themone with another. He touched His firstgroup of disciples, Peter the Methodist,John the Quaker. James the Pilgrim withhie brother the Bible Leaguer, the literalist,and Thomas the advanced Congregational-ist, and although they had different voicesand different registers Ho made them allsing together, and men will always singin tune when Jesus Christ loads the choir.A world distracted by war turns to us andwistfully asks us to produce the goods.Prove that the race can be united by show-ing that Jesus Christ has united you. Andin those latter days God has reinforcedthis miracle of grace by a miracle of science.Wireless has come to change our congre-gations into churches. I know of an editorwho regards wireless as a direct menaceto the press. In one sense it is a muchmore formidable menace to the pulpit. Itlooks as if both pressmen and parsons areto lose their jobs. But God fulfils Him-self in many ways, and wireless will turnout an incalculable blessing. The gospelwill reach the unreached, and if the gospelpreached is l6oz to the lb the unreachedwill reach the churches, not mainly tohear sermons but to form societies of fel-lowship and intercession, and to do prac-tical work for Jesus Christ. If religionis listening to sermons, then most of uswill bo on the dole. But. a church is nota crowd, it is a fellowship, a centre ofspiritual power and redemptive service, ourwork is to unite and to be all, to learn howto pray and love, and study and work to-gether, and to save this disordered wordfrom crumbling into fragments. Therenever was a greater opportunity for a churchthat gives the lead in brotherhood. Other-wise the world has no use for us.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIANGENERAL ASSEMBLY.

On May 25 the T37th General Assemblyof the Presbyterian Church of the UnitedStates convened at Columbus, Ohio. Inits issue of May 1+ the Continent cameout with the following editorial, headed,“The Issue at Assembly”

Doubtless there will be several issues otimportance before the General Assembly,but all are compelled to face the factthat one issue is to bo of major interestWhat is that issue? It is not a doctrinalissue. Two years ago, and again a yearago, it appeared to the average man thatthe’ acute issue was one concerning doc-trine. It wag loudly proclaimed that cer-tain men were not in accord with thestandards of the Presbyterian Church andthat, therefore, they and their views shouldbe condemned. Differences ot theologicalopinion always have existed and always vwnexist within the Church. Occasionally theybecome sharply defined and so come toconstitute issues which have to bo fiettiedby church courts. This appeared lo liethe case at Indianapolis and at GrandRapids, and there many good men werefully convinced that it was a duly to speakout against heresy. 'I ho question to comebefore the Columbus Assembly, however,is clearly not a question of heresy. Proofof the statement just made lies in the factthat men long well known to the. Churchnot only for their splendid services andfibril character, hut also for their strictadlierence to the most conservative tenets,are now attacked just as vigorously as aresome classified as liberals. It is unneces-sary to give names. i no fact is widelyknown that for a man to lie. classified asan “indifferentist” means tliat,_ ho is certainto be condemned. For the “indifferentist ’

is defined ns one who, though his personalviews are unquestionably orthodox, is will-ing to fellowship in the same Church withthose who may not hold exactly the sameconservative views. -Hence the issue is notono concerning heretical views; it concernsthe right attitude toward those who sin-cerely accept the Confession of Faith butcannot agree with the most conaerv ativebrethren regarding the proper interpreta-tion of that historic document or of theScriptures. Simply stated, the issue is this:Should we force out of the church thosewho are not in full accord with (ho mostconservative group, or recognising theloyalty to Christ and the church of men ofboth groups, should we assert tin; Chris-fiou duty of labouring together for a com-mon cause and in devotion to a commonLord, in spite of divergent theologicalviews? That is really (he only question

Which commissioners are called upon toanswer. Unless, of course, there is placedbefore them, hy due process of appeal froma lower court, some question of the stand-ing of an individual or of individualsagainst whom charges have, been bothmade and duly heard in that lower court.This is the only way that a question ofheresy can come before the Assembly with-out violation of the constitution of thechurch. Although the clamour of allega-tion and accusation may have caused theuninformed layman to think that someserious issue of heresy is to engage theattention of the Assembly, the tart is quitedifferent. The truth is that those whohave made such allegations and accusationshave not had the courage—probably be-cause they have had no good grounds-todrop the method of innuendo and proceedby orderly processes to bring chargesagainst any person accused iu vague term?of being a “liberal.” Hence, no heresy caseconfronts commissioners. I’.ut commis-sioners must face the question of separa

lion. For this is what is demanded hy asmall group—a group which may be fairlydescribed as the intolerant minority of alarge conservative element. This grouphas" insisted for years that all others must

conform (o its view. Its members havenot succeeded in forcing such conformity.They now, therefore, take the position thatall who do not conform to their views -

and even those who do conform but win.disapprove of efforts to force others lo con-form—are not loyal Presbyterians am!should lie cast, out of the church. That is

the 'real issue, and commissioners shouldface it frankly and fearlessly. And thenthey should act candidly and courageously,being careful that they are not prompted

hy any other spirit than the Spirit of God.

SCIENCE HARMONISES WITHRELIGION.

Complaint was made that science text-books in use in the public schools of Cali-fornia contain teaching on the subject ofevolution that contradicts the teaching ofthe Bible, whereupon the State Board ofEducation requested the presidents of ninecolleges and universities in the Stale toexamine the Ix-ok.- and report. Theseexecutives, one of whom is President RI) Bird, of the Presbyterian OccidentalCollege, met, examined the books, heardthe complainants, and now have made adetailed report. In (heir findings theyrefer to the teachings of a number of thehooks, giving names, authors, and quota-tions. The conclusion is that no teach-ings are found in the books contradictoryor unfriendly to any teaching in the Bibleconcerning the creation and origin of man.Hie exii mol os quoted show that, the book-

arid author? hold and leach only whatis universally hold by mlentific men. manyof whom are religious anti Christian be-liever?, and ihal in no instance do theyspeak in any way derogatory to anyreligions faitn. Any scientific textbookthat did otherwise would not be respectedin educated circles. And it would leadyoung people into mistaken views thatafterwards would give them trouble. Asfor Christianity, it fears not the truth.

'.I here has been considerable discussion inthe correspondence columns of a leadingocotch newspaper on the question ofchurches remaining open on week days atwell as on Sundays for private prayer.Various writers pointed out that it wasonly in a church where people could finda quiet place for private devotion. Nosa.no person, said others, suggested thatprayers ottered in a church were moreacceptable to God than prayers elsewhere,but that in a church people found an atmo-sphere helpful to their prayers and medita.tion.s. Churches wore not only for publicworship, but also for private worship aswell. Hannah prayed alone, in the templein the time of Eli. in the parable ofthe pharisee and the publican, no faultis found with them for having gone upto the temple to pray. There way some-thing about an open church door duringthe ordinary days of the week that broughta peculiar message of its own.

Lord Sands, who was one of the speakersat the annual meeting of the National BibleSociety in Edinburgh, concluded his re-marks, leported in the Scotsman, with areference to what he called recent attemptsto give a fresh translation of the Scrip-tures. “He had no doubt these .servedin a certain measure a useful purpose, buthe thought there was a. great deal of ex-aggerated talk about the inaccessibility ofthe Bible to the ordinary man or womanto-day on account of its quaint and curiouslanguage. There were n few archaisms, buthad not the Authorised Version been forgenerations the great standard of the Eng-lish language? The Bible had an immensehold on the people of Scotland in the seven-teenth and eighteenth centuries, and thelanguage of the Authorised Version was farfurther removed from the language nsspoken by the common people of Scotlandthen than it was from the language spokento-day. Let them lc all means try tocheapen the Bible so ? lo place it for asmall coin in the hands of the people, butdo not let them cheapen and vulgarise itslanguage,”

In the cours o of a striking address inconnection with a. meeting held in tlU.F. College, . Edinburgh, to consider theclaims of India, a< visiting missionary, MrAnnett, said that they found in their edu-cated classes in India to-day a spirit abroadand ways of thinking that were far moreChristian than they were Mohammedan orpagan. For the first time in its hiatorv.said Mr Annett, all India had lieon cap-tured by one man—Air Ghandi. High-caste, low-caste, and out-casts, Mohammodans and Hindus, all admired Mr Ghandi.He understood that Mr Gandhi read hisNew Testament every day. and he believedthat the ideals of Jesus Christ were prac-tical politics in the world at the presentrime. In his list of reforms for India to-day wore reforms, said Mr Annett, thatevery missionary who had his heart in hiswork had been advocating. Since Gandhihad come to the front, the sale of Biblesand New Testaments had gone up withleaps and bounds in West India. Eventhese living in India could hardly realisethe extent to which God was breaking inupon their country.

“ Reaching one person at a time is thehost wav of reaching all the world mtime.”—H. C. Trumbull.

Last Sunday one city school with 57pupils and nine teachers in its junior de-partment had 57 pupils and nine teacherspresent. The monthly average attendanceof lhe primary department in the sameschool recently worked out -at 92 per cent.Tiiis is an indication of the standard thatcan be attained by efficient organisationand no school should rest content with loss.

“Only after the Sunday .-rhool hadproved its value, under the management ofoutside agencies did it receive ecclesiasticalsanction and adoption into the Church asone of its enterprises.”—J. A. Betts.

Otago School of Religious education hasheld was a social evening in Hanover StreetSchool lasi Saturday evening. All arrange-ments were in the hands of the SocialCommittee, under ihe couveuership of MissMina Wilkinson, and the programme wasexcellent throughout. Games were inter-spersed with musical items and a readingin due proportion. ’lhe usual supper, votesof (hanks, and the singing of "Auld LangSyne 1' terminated the" proceedings. Pro-vided they are properly arranged and car-ried out,' social- are worth while as amoulding factor in our work. The trulyeducated person is sometimes spoken ofas “a socially efficient being.”

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXTENSIONS ATSOUTH DUNEDIN.

At: the annual meeting of the South Dun-edin Presbyterian Sunday School teachers,held in Reid Hall on Monday evening,there, were about 120 present. It was a re-presentative gathering each organisation ofthe Church being represented.

The superintendent, Air G. R. Harper, in

presenting the report emphasised the ap-peal for their Fairmaid Memorial ClassRooms. He gave a rapid sketch of therise and progress of the Sunday Schoolmovement at/” South Dunedin, pointed tovaluable work former teachers had accom-plished and to the life long interest andgenerosity of the late Mr George Reid,who mado their present school possible.During Air Fairmaid’s ministry the SundaySchool and Bible Glass had grown by leansand bounds, so that their present, accom-modation was now quite inadequate.,Further, it was his last wish that the sessionshould initiate steps to extend the schoolbuildings and lo incorporate in thorn snli-able Bible Class rooms. Mr Harper pro-posed that a representative committee bosol up forthwith and that an appeal besent forth to past Sunday School scholar.-,former church members, friends of the lateAir Fairmaid, to institutions ho regularlyvisited and also submitted a scheme of in-tensive local effort by the present. SundaySchool children, church members, guild,choir. oH’.

The proposal was enthusiastically re-ceived Then Rev. John Kilpatrick—a life-long friend of the late Mr Fairmaid, paidt touching and eloquent tribute to MrEairmaid’s' work among the children andthe youth of (he Church. The numbers ontheir roll, 475 children and 120 Bible Classmembers, were proof of (heir late, pastor'spower in drawing young folk .around turn.

It was now the Church's high honour toperpetuate his name by naming the pro-posed extension the ••Fairmaid MemorialClass Rooms."

~ .. ~

Air Kilpatrick s address was of a distinctlyencouraging nature and he showed hispractical sympathy in the proposal by start-ing off the fund with a substantial dona-tion. The sum of £SB was gathered in theroom and several promises of a. substantialnature were made before the meetingclosed.

TRAINING THE WORKERS.Society protects its land from the ravage",

of unskilled tenants; it insists that justicebe not thwarted by untrained jurist--; it.guards the bodies of its cilirens from theUntrained -‘quack”: it excludes the char-latan from the schoolroom, that the mindsof our children may nor. be maimed andc-rippled by unskilled workmen; but thesouls of children have been left unprotectedfrom malpractice at the hands of well-meaning but untrained workers in the fieldof religious education.

It is strange that, the last, resource whichsociety ha? attempted lo conserve is thespiritual life of children. It is just nowbeginning - to dawn upon Christian peoplethat there is such a thing as spiritual mal-practice. and that the pious, well-meaningchurch school teacher may ignorantly pullup by the roots and destroy the veryelements which enable the soul lo bringforth the fruits of the spirit. The pastfew years have seen the beginning of ascience of religions education. There iseverv reason to believe (hat the church will

soon give it? little one? scientifically-trainedreligions teacher?. Il can be token forgranted that the ehureli which demands aneducated ministry will al?o dem.ind trainedteachers in its church ...chool?.

AVc give all honour to the faithful menand women of the past who gave of theirbest to the- cause they loved more (hail lifeitself, but a new day has come and newdemands must he made upon those whoserve in the Lord’s House. To sincerity,devotion, noble Christian character, wemust add that technical skill which routesfrom instruction and training. That a newday is already hero is evidenced by thelarge army of consecrated teachers andofficers who arc calling to their denomina-tional leaders: “'leach ns that wo mayteach others more perfectly.”—DeanAlhearn.

PAGEANTRY.The religious pageant or drama is as old

as Adam, and originated in the naturalinstinct for rhythm, action, and fellowship.In England, the drama originated in theChurch. In their desire to pass the Biblemessages to an illiterate people the clergyenacted at the altar the scenes that wereepoch-making in Hebrew and Christian his-tory. Gradually the leading members ofthe congregation were included as partici-pants. tor obvious reasons the drama wastaken from the altar to the church stepsand later lo the village green, where the■drama of the sacred history from the crea-tion of man right through the Old and NewTestaments to the. Final Judgment in Re-velation, called the Miracle Cycle, was de-picted in realistic fashion. 'litis was thedrama that flourished in all England fromIhe reign of Henry till the period of QueenElizabeth. Unhappily Ihe religious dramapassed out. of the bauds of the clergy, andthe drama and religion became poles apart.During the last decade and more the reli-gious drama is returning to its true home,the Church. Since the war the world haschanged and a now ora has begun. “TheChurch is finding in the vision in whichsympathy deep and strong is causing herto feci her responsibility, that the worldmust be lifted from the low ideals ofgetting to those rather of being and be-coming.” Every church, large or smajl,is preaching a religion of seven days aweek. That, development comes throughconscious effort is being demonstrated in(he endeavour to organise through theweek activities. It is Only in the actualstudy of the religious drama, or pageantthat we come to understand wherein theappeal lies and see that “it is a meanstoward a life more abundant

The threefold reason for the revival ofreligious drama is—(1) The Church must bevitalised in every way; (2) world conscious-ness calls for expression ; (5) self-expressionis imperative.

Dramatisation has proved an invaluableasset in character building, primary im-portance beitlg placed in the reactionaryeffect on the participant.

Dramatising the story, the most delight-ful expression on the child’s part, indeliblyimpresses the characters of the formativenature of childhood.

“Nothing teaches the Bible better thanpageantry and religious drama.’’

BALCLUTHA SCHOOL.

THE SECONDARY DEPARTMENT.

MINISTER’S PROPOSAL CON-DEMNED.

At a meeting of the South Otago Pro-grass League at Balcluthn, Mr Sinisotipresiding, reference was made to the pro-posal of Sir James Parr. Minister of Edu-cation, in Dunedin last week, that the de-partment was prepared to establish onlythe first section of a building on the nowsite at. Rosobank. This, the Minister.‘luted, “might easily run into £3OOO lor astart, and would provide two excellent

classroom.?, a teachers’ room, and the neces-sary administrative buildings.”

Members wore agreed this would be buta piecemeal arrangement, and it waspointed out bv the secretary (Mr Shepard)that the rector of the District High School(Mr K. R. Hunter) Lad emphasised theinconvenience of the proposed arrangement.Four rooms wore at present needed for theaccommodation of the 120 secondary pupilsnit ending the school, and if only two wereencted at Hoschank the two in the tech-nical building would still need to bo utilisedand would necessitate the rector of theHigh School dividing his attentions be-tween buildings situated half a mile apart.

Mr G. W. Wood (a- member of the Edu-cation Board) said the school was advanc-ing in the secondary department, and itwas anticipated that next year there wouldb- 150 in place of 120 secondary pupils.The Otago Education Board were notexact!v in love with the latest proposal ofthe Minister, and would have preferredto see a larger building erected, althoughas the Minister stated, i( might not bepossible to find the whole of the £19,000,which was the estimated cost of the pro-posed High School. Tile plans of the pro-posed school (a brick building of twoslorevs) had been approved by the board,and were in the hands of the departmentin Wellington.

Eventually, after considerable discussion,the meeting decided unanimously that aprotest bo sent direct to the Minister, andcopies ot it to Mr llxiio, M.R.. and theHons. D. T. Fleming and A. S. Malcolm.

If was left to Messrs Grigor and Shepard,after consultation with Mr Hunter, to draft:the letter of protest.

PREJUDICE AGAINST BOXEDBUTTER.

THE LANCASHIRE AREA.

NEW ZEALAND UNDER DISCUSSION.

(Fkom Our Own Correspondent.)LONDON, May H.

At a grocery trade meeting held at Roch-dale a few days ago the secretary read lettersfrom the National Union of ConservativeAssociations, Lancashire and Cheshire area,urging the holding of an Empire ProductsWeek in Rochdale, with a view to stimulat-ing the sale of ’.Empire goods” locally.

Mr Jewett considered that one. difficultyin the wav of adopting the suggestion wouldbe found in the fact that, generally speaking,the local grocers did not stock Empire goods—especially such things aa Empire tinnedgoods, and New Zealand tatter. He did notfee] like stocking these things for one weekonly.

Mr Cruddae thought the idea of having anEmpire Week display of Empire goods was agood one, but said the question was couldthe local grocers got their customers toaccept those goods. The public must beeducated to buy those comgiodities beforesuch an effort as an EmpireWeek couldbe successful. In the Rochdale district 99people out of every 100 bought Danish butter,and would not have the New Zealand pro-duct. , ~

,,

Mr Fallon; If the New Zealand peoplewould send us their butter in casks insteadof in taxes there would not he so muchdifficulty in soiling it.

Mr Cruddas: Tn this district there is astrong prejudice against the boxed butter. 1'The" President: These people want ua tohelp (hem to educate the public, and if wo.attempt to do that we must do it prettywell. A half-hearted effort would be useless.

Mr Herron: Rochdale people are altogetheraverse to taxed butter, and just as stronglywedded to Danish butter; but, in myopinion, the New Zealand _ butter would sellbetter if it was sent to us in casks.

Mr Fallon: There can bo no doubt aboutthat.

T’hc President; Still, there is a trade inNew Zealand butter even in Rochdale. Somelocal firms manage to sell it.

Mr Cruddas: A great deal of it is soldin (he South of England, but here the preju-dice against it is very strong. New Zealandhut ter is very good value, but when wetried it a few years ago we- could make nosuccess with it. "We shall not try this Em-pire Week, because wo haven’t Ihe stork forit.

Ollier members abo said they had friedtrading with New Zealand butter, but hadhad tn stop doing so. They considered it im-possible to make a, big successful show ofEmpire products in Rochdale.

Eventually, on the motion of Mr Cruddasseconded by Air Greenhalgh, it was decidedthat ihe leitcra “lie on the table.”

PASSING NOTES.On the question of the hour—political

fusion, merging, call il what you "will—-we possess our souls in patience, waitingtor the logic, of the situation to assertitself- 'With party politicians in rivalrythe operations of logic are slow. Our firstrash thought was of changes dramaticand spectacular at the opening of Parlia-ment—.Mr Coates and Mr Wilford fusedcheck by jowl on the Treasury Bench, MrSidey, Mr At,more. Mr Veitch in fusionwith Reformers sitting dose by. My ownimpulse was to take \v the scrulf of theneck any lingerers and fuse them vi etannis, But better counsels have pre-vailed. Logic though slow is sure. Andthen there are constituencies. On bothsides every hesitating member keeps asquinting eye on the constituencies. ifthere, is to be any taking by the sen ilfof ’the neck, the constituencies will do it.Collectively the constituencies are thecountry, and the country lias made up itsmind that .Reformers an; indistinguishablemini Liberals except in name, and thatthe name '‘Reformer'’ as, a permanencyis silly at the host.

As construed by Air Holland, the Frank-lin election is a latter-day version of theSampson riddle. “Out of the eater cameforth meat.” The Holland candidate wasdefeated, and from that Air Hollandargues future victory. In the Franklindefeat ho sees the presage, promise, pro-phecy, and potency of it. We need bigwords for so big a vaunt. What woreLiberals to do when there was no Liberalto vote for? Naturally t licit* secondchoice, says Air Holland, was Labour.“Instead of which” they gave a thump-ing majority to Reform.

Perhaps it was right to dissemble yourlove

But why did you kick mo down stairs?This what Air Holland might say,

should say, in his heart is really saying.“Instead of which,” again, lie and MrARCombs, his lieutenant in duct, like apair of Arcadian shepherds (Arcadesambol) tootle “Victory I” Lot ns notlaugh too much. It is their way of“whistling aloud to bear their courageup.”

The slightly illogical “instead of which”in the note above—there as here markedby turned commas—is the echo of an oldstory: Alagistrato to culprit in dock:“You bad kind parents and a good edu-cation, instead of -which you go aboutstealing ducks.” The' tyranny of a- phrasethat sticks in one’s memory is no newthing. Examples range from the Dukeof Wellington’s “tupc.nny dam” to AirSnagsby's “not to put too fine a pointupon it.” Victims of a phrase! Hen* isa curious storv ;

When tho Duke of 'Wellington re-eeived his morning mail ho was in thohabit of marking on some of tho com-’rrmnications tho throe letters H.B.D.His secretary in some roundabout wayhad oomo to understand that tho lettersmeant. “He Bo <i .’’ Now, il is notetiquette in official circles to use tin'sexpression in an epistle; oven when adash takes tho place of tho final lettersof the last word. In our search for asubstitute for swearing it is i here foreinteresting to know how the secretarytranslated the terse phrase into lawfulEnglish. His reply took this form:

Sin.—Field-Marshal tho Duke of Wel-lington has given your communicationhis most earnest consideration, anilbegs leave to express his regret thatit is impossible for him to comply withyour request. ,

Other times other manners. But whatare wo to say of tho sentences I am goingto quote belonging to our own time',taken from an article in the Spectator, ofApril 25. over tho signature of the editor,1Air J. St. Ixio Strachey ?

A ALctorian statesman of great in-sight and great power of expressionsaid of tho late Duke of Devonshire,ono of the soundest. English statesmenof recent times, "What I like abouthim is his, ‘You-be-damnedness.’ ” Howas right. Tho Duke though he wasa moderate man without tiny desire topush himself, yet had in a high degreethis quality of “Yon-he-damne.dness.”Anyone can stand up to and fight hisenemies. The difficulty is to stand upto your friends, and the Duke of Devon-shire, though not an irascible man,could through a certain simplicity ofcharacter stand up to his friends whenhe thought them in tho wrong. HasMr Baldwin got a sufficient amountof this “You-be-darnnedness”—thispower of disappointing, when neces-sary, the hopes, aspirations, and per-sonal desires of his followers? I con-fess to being- rather anxious on thispoint.■Remember that the Spectator, more

than any other secular weekly, is theparson’s paper, and may lie found in al-most every clerical house in England. Ofcourse the objectionable word is a. Bibleword: is a Shakespeare word, e.g. :

Lay on, Mac-DufT.(in the French version “Avanccz AlonsiourMncDuff”).

And damned bo ho that first cries “Hold,enough-!”

and is of free use among the later poets;e.g., Alexander Pope:

Damn with faint praise, assent with civillear. • •

All the same, in our time it is had formand the sign 'of moral looseness.

From Tuapeka West:Deab Cxvis,—1 ask .you to accept my

warmest thanks for your note showingup the Socialistic attack on Christian-ity, and the absurdities of Dr Molfalt’snew translation of the .Bible. For myown part I shall stick to Hie transla-tion we know. I have read it througha. good many times, and sec no reasonwhy 1 should change,—One of the OldSchool.

The anti-Christian Socialist and the Ecv.Dr Moffatt—an ill-assorted pair to standin the dock together. 1 think we are alittle tired of both. The Christian reli-gion has survived a good many ‘’antis,”and nobody takes seriously the Socialistdream of general coniiseatinn, not eventhe Socialists themselves. Challenge it,and at once they begin to explain itaway. As for Dr Moffatt and his barbar-ian Bible, 1 am not going to let thembecome a> bore. And vet it is impossibleto turn over the Moffatt pages withoutcoming over and anon upon new outragesor new delights,—as yon choose to take it..We have been accustomed to read thatthe Israelites, when on their way fromEgypt to Canaan, a. forty-years’ journeythrough the wilderness, occasionallylapsed iiito “murmuring.” But. ‘‘mur-muring’’ won’t do for Dr Moffatt. Listento him; “The Eternal said to Alo«ps, Ihave heard the Israelites grumbling.”Whereupon “Moses and Aaron sa.id to theIsraelites, Tim Eternal has* heard yougrumbling against himself,” Again, “Hehas heard you grumbling ; . . . it is againstthe Eternal, not against ns, that youare grumblinc.’’ To match thiselegance Dr Moffatt tells of this andthat done by “the riff-raff” of the people.“Hiff-raff!” why not fag-rag-and-liohtn.il?For certain offences a man was fined“six-and-n-lia.lf guineas:” for certainothers “thirteen guineas.'’ Yes I guineas—English guineas ; there are no other, norever were. T; Dr Moffatt's studies hadincluded the. classicalities of Thatcher—-with whom in the days before vaudevillethe Dunedin people delighted themselves—ho might have brought, in “Fortyshillings and take him away!”

THE BANKING SYSTEM.TO THE EDITOR,

Sir, ---With reference to the correspond-ence of last week, by Mr Cecil It. 'lhomtonand myself audit the above subject, it is in-teresting to note on page 3 of your issuethis morning, among the commercial news,a reference to the National Bard; of NewZealand. Your report (from London, datedMay 22) states that shareholders in theNational Bank of New Zealand have beenoffered 200,000 shares of £7 10s each in theproportion of one new share for everythroe shares held on May 18. Seeing thatsuch largo profits are being made and largedividends lieing paid to shareholders, manyof your readers will donbtlc-s wonder whyit is that the bank is increasing its capital.In this connection it is interesting I o notefrom your report that the £7 10s shareswhich at market price would probably howotfth considerably more than £7 10s, aregiven to the existing shareholders on theiragreeing to nay £5 each for such £7 10sshares—the shares now being issued toshareholders as though £2 10s hud beenactually paid up on same. In these 'laysof joint stock companies wo hear a lotabout “watering" of capital. Hero is acase in point. It simply means that thedividend of 14 per cent. That has boon paidannually in each of the past- live years (videyour report) is so large in the eyes of thepublic that the directors apparently thinkit wise to “water” their capital with a viewto making the dividend appear smaller onpaper, in future years. There is anotherreason also for the increase of capital. Will£5 per share to he actually paid by exist-ing shareholders cn I lie 200,00 C new snaresnot moan that £1,003,000 will be drawnfrom other investments into the coffers ofthe bank? What will bo the elfcct of this?As pointed out in my previous correspond-ence, there will bo less inonev availableamong private investors and also for de-veloping farming and industrial pursuitsand with the slump coming, the NationalBank of New Zealand—in common with thoother banks,—will be in a better positionto force bankruptcies, so that they may,on behalf of the financial capitalists thatthey represent, by moans of a “squeeze”policy get industries into their own handsand so enrich themselves at the expense oftho general community.—l am, etc.,

men PRICES.TO TIT!! EDITOR.

Sir,—Wo hoar a good deal nowaday,; ofhigh prices. It seems la me that oneof the causes of high prices is too' bigprofits. Let me give a few of my ownexperiences recently, f imported from Lon-don an office fitment. The wholesale pricewas 12s. It was rather heavy, and the-charges for packing, postage, insurance,and duty brought the total cost up to 21s.lint the retail charge for the Mine thinghere is two guinea*. flic other dav 1broke tho fan belt of my motor.

A friend of mine wont into a. green-grocer's, and on learning that- the priceof lettuces was 6d each she walked our.At the door was a- Chinaman, who tookin a- large basket of vegetables. On hisreturn she asked him if ho could let herhave any lettuces. John wa.s delightedto g'VC her six at a penny each. Bythis time the lettuces he had taken in wereappearing in the window marked 6(1. Inever buy a book in Dunedin,, but alwayssend Homo for what I want. 7 sent halfa guinea, plus 6d postage, and reccivi-da book which f saw marked in a. recentsole here, “Reduced to 165.” And theunfair part is that tho bookseller wouldpay considerably lees than the retail priceof 10s 6d. 1 wanted some photographicchemicals a short time ago, and wroteHome for a. price list. I sent exactly10s, and in addition paid a dnr-v of 3s: hutthe chemicals on which 1 thus paid 12swould have run me into 28» here, and inaddition they wore beautifully fresh. Mylist tells mo that sodium carbonate costs18s per cwt. Thin works out at a littleless than 2d a lb. As tho price for thisin Dunedin is 2s a ID, a hundredweight- ortwo would fienm a profitable proposition.If there were much demand for amidolthe wholesale price of Hs a pound wouldleave a comfortable margin if sold at the

T am not qualified to speak on this matter,but I am assured that certain kinds ofNew Zealand wood can he bought morecheaply in Australia than hero. Tho priceof fruit in the shop? i> a scandal.

JOINTSRHEUMATISM'

WEURITISDURING recent years no remedy has been produced whichgives greater- relief in the treatment of Rheumatism, Neuritis,Sciatica, and Chronic Joint Troubles than lodex. Whether itbe the dull aching pain of Rheumatism; the nagging pain ofNeuritis: the stabbing pain of Lumbago; or the excruciatingagony of Sciatica, lodex has been found by Doctors all overthe world to be of particular service in banishing thfe pain andrestoring healthy normal conditions. The best method is togently mb a piece of lodex, the size of a marble, into theaffected part, night and morning. The lodine content quicklypenetrates to the seat of the trouble, reduces the inflammationand congestion, and banishes the pain. Miracles cannot beexpected in chronic cases, but perseverance with this methodusually brings great relief and lasting benefit.

A lady writes as follows:“Your lodex Ointment is the finest 1 have ever used; 1 sufferedfrom Rheumatism in my «rra. fifd could not get relief Until sedngyour advertisement. 1 decided to try it. Since having my armmaxatred with lodes, I ara entirely free from pain.

HOW MANY SKINSHAVE WE?

AND HOW OFTEN DO WECHANGE THEM?

Of course, everyone knows we haveseveral skins, but wkat every woman 'ionsnot. know (and it is primarily a woman'squestion) is that tlie epidermis, or outerscarf-skin of the face out-wears itselffrom time to time, and a new one—theone that lies just underneath—waitsready to take its place.

You may have noticed how. in eases ofsunburn, the face "peels.” Hut burningthe skin off is a very painful method ofacquiring a new skin, and not one womenwould choose. The process of decay inthe surface skin of the. face is normallyalmost imperceptible, for the. dead scalesare very minute. AVhat they do, though,is to clog the pores and attract everyatom of dust and dirt: which more readilyattack and adhere lo the skin. The resultis a thoroughly bad complexion, dull,colourless, and frequently disfigured withspots and blemishes.

The only way.to restore freshness andbloom to the complexion is to gee rid ofthe out-worn scarf-skin by the use ofnicrcolizcd wax. This fragrant compoundwill remove the dead skin while you sleep,for it. completely dissolves the decayedtissues and uncovers the soft, clear skinunderneath. Mercolized wax possessesrare absorptive qualities which accom-plish this without any discomfort whatso-'cver, and without the slightest irritationof the most sensitive skin. All you needdo is to procure a small quantity fromthe chemist, and at bedtime, after wash-ing the face in warm water, apply it asyou would any ordinary face cream,taking care to leave it on until the morn-ing, when wasli again with warm waterand a good toilet soap. Ton days or soof this treatment will give you a newcomplexion as fresh, clear and soft as achild’s. It has been there all the time,just waiting for a chance to reveal itself.

MODERN HOSPITALMETHODS.

ORGANISATION AND ADMINIS-TRATION.

MEDICAL SUPERINTEND-ENT’S REPORT.

REFERRED TO HOSPITAL BOARDCOMMITTEE.

At the meeting of the Otago HospitalBoard on Thursday night tho MedicalSuperintendent (Dr A. R. Falconer) sub-mitted a report on the principles of or-ganisation and administration of thomodern hospital.

Dr Falconer said; “Having placed beforetho board an historical review of hospitaladministration in New Zealand (being apaper road before the American College ofSurgeons) and a subsequent paper entitled‘Future Hospital Policy in New Zealand,’.1 now come to the next natural divisionof tho subject of hospital administration—•

namely, the principles of organisation andadministration of the modern hospital it-self. First, we must try to appreciate themodern hospital’s problem and have somevision with regard to its possibilities. Oncea hospital had merely to do with the cus-todial oaro of its patients; next it cameto be considered as a great curative agencyrather than a mere charitably undertaking;and now we should recognise the modernhospital ‘as the vivifying centre from whichradiate all public health activities and as amost necessary educational institution forthe training of young men and women forthis great work.’ As a Rockefeller Foun-dation Committee report has truly said,the hospital occupies a strategic mid-posi-tion, and has open to it a great oppor-tunity, not as an institution for the sal-vage of human wreckage, but as a co-or-dinator of activities—professional, econo-mis, and social—in their application upontho problems of health.

HUMANITARIAN IDEAL.“A hospital in its broader aspect has

four primary’ functions: (1) The care ofthe sick. (2) the teaching of disease, (3)the study of disease, and (4) the preventionof disease. Only in so far as a hospitalundertakes this fourfold responsibility is itfunctioning in a real sense as a communityorganisation loading to higher ideals ofhealth administration and to a greater de-velopment of the science of combating di-sease and contributing more to the welfareof the community in which it is located.

“If, then, we accept the above servicesas our ideal of a hospital’s activities—andthat it what is being accepted in a largomeasure in America to-day—it is obviousthat the hospital administration must havea knowledge of communal problems far be-yond the physical or , professional activitiesof the hospital alone, and that the adminis-tration of a hospital under this conceptionmust naoessarily bo based on the com-munity as tho unit .of operation, not theinstitution. Having tried to appreciate whata modem hospital should stand for, let usnow study tho principles underlying its or-ganisation and administration. Contraryto the prevailing idea—an idea whichreally is inexplicable—th o operation of ahospital differs in no way from any otheractivity of life, and the same principles of.organisation an dadministration must boapplied aa in any of tho industries. Thehospital ia a business—a big business—buta business with a heart in it. No businesswhatsoever can carry on successfully with-out clear-out responsible organisation set-ting forth specifically—(1) duties, (2) re-sponsibilities, (3) relations. ‘ln tho organi-sation of a hospital there are three maingroups to be taken into consideration: (1)The governing board, (2) the medical staff,(5) the hospital administrative staff. As aprime essential of efficient hospital ad-ministration each group must have the rightkind of leader backed up by knowledgeand initiative’ (MacEachom). The ..govern-ing board ‘is selected as custodian of apublio trust—an obligation demanding thatit accept for the community it serves afull responsibility for and control of thatactivity. If that board is to secure a maxi-mum of result from tho organisation, un-questionably the first problem before it isthe estalblisnment of a definite line of pro-cedure as to the operation ofall of the organisation’s .compon-ent units and the establishment otthe administrative officer’s authority. ThereIs not debating the statement that an or-ganisation without centralised responsi-bility canot function correctly, and it isequally undebatable that the logical pointof this centralised authority is the admin-istrative officer of the institution’ (Chap-man). This latter viewpoint was recentlydefinitely promulgated by Dr Valintine,Director-General of Health, as the policyof his department in regard’ to our NewZealand hospitals. Naturally, the rate-payers tend to elect on the governingbody members to represent all points ofview in the social and economic scheme ofthe community. Their duty is to formthe policies of the hospital, to instituteand carry out .sound financial schemes, tocarefully analyse the results of opera-tion, and. to furnish to their employeesan inspiration and stimulus for the bestservice to the patients, for whom the hos-pital exists.

THE SUPERINTENDENT.“The superintendent of the hospital Is

the executive officer, who must carry outthe policy ns laid down by the board otmanagers, both professional ‘and physical.‘There can be only one such person in awell-regulated institution.’ (MaeEachern)The superintendent must act as a forcegiving impetus to the activity. His jobis to obtain a high order of care for thepatient. He must see that all the neces-sary facilities are provided for the medicalstaff in the treatment of the patients. Themedical staff as much as possible must berelieved of non-professional and non-tcch-nical duties, in order that th.ey, like otherprofessional groups working within tneorganisation, may have an environmentconducive to spontaneous creative self-ex-pression. That is the administrator'schief function. The superintendent shouldbo able, when desirable, to devise newmethods of organisation, plan new generalpolicies, and be an active leader in thewhole scheme of hospital progress. Herequires to keep abreast of medical andsurgical progress, and to have a profes-sional point of view, particularly in rela-tion to the prevention of disease. Tohim must be given an understanding of allthe ramifications of the functions of ahospital and its- close inter-relationshipswith the other phases of tho community’ssocial scheme. He requires to have somedegree of social understanding in dealingwith abnormal humanity, and a large shareof the milk of human kindness in orderthat, he should temper his judgments, andkeep uppermost in his mind the ideals ofservice. He must endeavour to got acrossto nil members of the staff and employeesof the hospital the immense importance ofkeeping at all times the patient's point ofview, and that they are dealing with over-anxious, and hence over-critical, creatures.He should see that his staff seek to dis-pel any misunderstanding of the routineof hospital life that comes under theirnotice, and by tact, sympathy, anil friend-liness to interpret the true spirit ofthe hospital to the outsider. Ho shouldrealise that his own %ttitude in this re-gard appreciably affects the atmosphereof the hospital. He requires to have awide diversified knowledge, and to be ableto furnish data and advice to the board ofmanagers in the formulation of policies.He should have some training in hospitalconstruction, possess sufficient mechanicalsense to decide problems into which therudiments of mechanics enter, have a finan-cial sense capable of interpreting costfigures, and records of performance of de-partments, and possess a purchasing senseto be able to understand the purchasingagent’s activities and correlate them with-the medical necessities of his institution,ISe should be the medium of expressiont,t the board’s point of view toa!s departmental heads. He shouldknow when ho gets service from eachdepartment, and bo aide to judge otthe* product turned out. Ho should in* ablereadily to put a finger on any trouble orweakness, and immediately know whatremedy to apply. He should be able tointerpret the demand# of service of the de-partmental heads in order that tho boardmay have an accurate picture of the needsof the various units. As the generalmanager of a business, he require? to lieable to plan and direct the activities ofothers, and to co-ordinate the variousoperating units to make a proper function-ing whole. He is tho court of apnea! ofall the vexatious problems incidental to aninstitution’s operations. His duty is toinvestigate all complaints of patients orrelatives as to abuse-? in the institution, andto correct these when found. ITp must hegiven time t-o sit Dick and think. Hecannot himself render minor service in alargo degree and keep his mind free todirect the activities- as a whole. If anadministrator does detail work, either the

detail or the directing will suffer in directratio to the importance given to one oror,hot' of the activities, lie cannot himselflie responsible for the adequate control ofthe whole organisation, and at the sametime efficiently manage a department withinthe organisation. lie should, and must, boin possesion of all facts currently pertain-ing to the institution’s activity, althoughthese should not bo in such detail as tolimit him in the performance of the largerduties of his office.

‘I have set out a high ideal for theadministrator. But. lam only too consciousof the measure in which I personally fallshort of that ideal. One of our foremostsurgical authorities in Mew Zealand wroteto, mo that administration wa.s a ‘blindaiioy,’_ The Rockefeller Foundation Com-mittee s report tells rno that ‘the theoreticalposition of the modern hospital executivecarried wn’-i it a dignity and an influencefor good which challenges the highest de-gree of imagination and ability.’ The artof modern hospital administration has dur-ing the last 15 years become*' of equal, im-portance to the art of surgery, hut callsfor a higher degree of natural ability andmore varied qualifications to obtain anequal standard of efficiency in its practice.

“No one man himself unaided posscsesadequate knowledge to efficiently superin-tend a hospital, and so there must be cafled.into feeing various groups advisory to thesuperintendent. These groups are at alllimes only advisory in their function, notadministrative. Any administrativemeasures necessary must be placed in opera-tion onlv through the instructions of thesuperintendent, and , through no othersource. To issue instructions without coun-sel cannot be productive of anything ex-cept. harm.

MEDICAL COUNCIL.“A medical council should be formed to

act in a dual opacity—(a) as advisor onmedico-administrative matters to themedical superintendent and the hospitalboard; (b) as the executive body of thestaff I would suggest such a body forthe Dunedin Hospital- be composed of theheads of the departments of surgery medi-cine, gynajology, and ophthalmology, alaboratory head, a member of tho consult-ing staff, with tho chairman of tho Hos-pital Committee ’ and tho medical superin-tendent ex officio. At the Toronto GeneralHospital a representative of each depart-ment is elected by the remaining membersof the department, and I am told that thochiefs of each service were always soelected. There was a most delicate hintgiver, that, though no coterie was likely todevelop, 'still the pow'er of stamping outsuch a contingency should he retained bythe staff as a whole. At tho John HopkinsHospital, Baltimore, the heads of tho sur-gical and other services wore memberswithout election. At the latter institutionthe dean of the medical school was cx-officio chairman of the medical council, aposition that appeared to me much to com-mend itself for Dunedin.

NURSING COUNCIL.“Nursing has a two-fold aspect—(l) the

enro of the patients; (2) the problem ofthe eduction of the nurse. Tt might besuggested that such a council might bocomposed of ;a) a member of tho HospitalBoard, (b) the professor of surgery, (e)the professor of medicine, (d) the medicalsuperintendent, (e) tho superintendent ofnurses, (f) an educational authority, (g) arepresentative of file trained nurses’ associa-tion. and (h) a woman interested in thosocial side of the pupil nurse.

MASSAGE COUNCIL.“(1) Chairman of honorary medical staff;

(2) member of Hospital Board: (3) professorof anatomy; (4) professor of physiology:(5) professor of surgery); (6) professor ofmedicine; (7)'lecturers to massage school;(8) sister in charge of massage department:(S) assistant medical officer; (VO) medicalsuperintendent: (11) member of _ New Zea-land Trained Masseurs’ Association.

DEPARTMENTAL COUNCIL, r“ Regular conferences between all de-

partmental heads are advisable, as thomutual understanding of our problems helpsin their solution. For years past thesuperintendent, matron, house steward, andengineer of the Dunedin Hospital have metregularly once a ’ week, and on occasionsother departmental heads have boon calledin. It is hoped to extend such con-ferences.

HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS.“Tho larger the hospital the more neces-

sary is it to divide tho activities into de-partments. All departmental heads are,o£ course, responsible to the superintendent,the departmental head being strictly respon-sible lor results. Periodically an analysisof the performance of the department shouldbe made, and sorno constructive suggestionsgiven as to, improvement. I was particu-larly struck in America with tho generalview obtaining that no departmental headcould logically bo held responsible for re-sults unless there were given the necessary-authority to obtain results, such as thoappointment and dismissal of the depart-mental personnel. This is unlikely to ob-tain in New Zealand. Tho following aretho departments at the Dunedin Hospital:—Visiting medical staff, resident medicalstaff, nursing department and trainingschool for nurses, X-ray and radium de-partment, dental (University control, sub-sidy given), pharmacy laboratories (Uni-versity control, subsidy given), socialservice (hospital hostess), dietary,administrative office. tho record de-partment, physic therapeutical depart-ment and training school of massage,mechanical, laundry. Clinical MedicalSchool (financed by Otago University, hutcorrelated by the hospital’s executiveofficer), occupational therapy department(Red Cross), school teacher (EducationBoard), limb and surgical appliance maker(private).

“In the basic principles of organisationas laid down by MacEachem. the work ofthe various departments would be dividedinto three major divisions, each undera capable officer, to whom tho departmentalheads would report;—(l) An assistantmedical director for the medical depart-ment; (2) a director of nursing for thenursing department; (?) a business manageror administrative assistant for tho businessdepartment.

“On the other hand, I found that mosthospitals I visited in America allowed thedepartmental heads direct access to ihcsuperintendent. the assistant medicaldirector bei'-g first assistant superinten-dent, and i iso business manager secondassistant superintendent. In several hos-pitals I found a medical superintendentin charge, wit}’, tho administrative assist-ant a~- a sole assistant superintendent.. Idid not find a medical superintendent whowas expected himself to do any portionof the clinical work rightly belonging totho medical staff.

THE MEDICAL STAFF.“The medical .staff is the most important

factor in any hospital. .Upon it will de-pend the success or failure of tho institu-tion. I found in America that it was con-sidered just as important to have thomedical staff organised on as sound a basisas the administrative staff. It is con-sidered that there arc not more than fouror five fundamental departments underwhich all specialities may be arranged,each with a chief of service in charge ofthe department. Tho departments usuallydesignated are those of medicine, surgery,pediatrics, obstetrics, and gynaecology. InDunedin we would have the departmentof surgery, medicine, gynaecology, andophthalmology, and a laboratory chief. Ihad suggested to the Otago Hospital Boardto offer tho position of head of tho depart-ment of surgery at the Dunedin Hospitalto the new professor of surgery when theterms of the appointment were beingmode. This was accepted by the OtagoUniversity Council. Though wo have hadno experience yet how this will work inDunedin, I am so satisfied with the re-sults obtained in America that I nowrecommend that (he Otago Hospital Boardseek to have the departments mentionedabove organised on the same bases. Thosuperintendent of nurses at the TorontoGeneral .T\jospital told me that in theirhospital it, made as much difference asday from night as far ax the nursing alonewas concerned by having the change madefrom a loosely-orga.nisod medical staff toone in which there was responsible leader-ship in each department. Tin’s is veryessential, especially in a medical schoolhospital. When Dr Washburn, superin-tendent of Massachusetts General Hos-pital, Boston, first, instituted the plan inAmerica about 15 years ago._ he said ‘theposition of chief of service. whethermedical or surgical, then heroines a posi-tion to bo filled by a man of singularcapabilities, not necessarily an older man,a great surgeon, or an eminent physicianor i„ brilliant investigator, hut a man. whocombines the rare qualities of (act. gene-rosity, judgment,. breadth. executiveability, and the capacity of discerning andbringing out, the be-i in other men. Heshould be a man dr.-irons _ rot to develophis service lor liirnse'f or his own reputa-tion. but to stimulate the highest possibledevelopment of t - ■ : - rl j vid uaIs who com-pose it. He ’ .mid lie 'U instigator antidirector of investigation and progress.Such me- are hard to find Upon (heir

jiulieio •- selection will depend the Kiiccesuof ”

- pre-ent, proieot.’ There is every: oa (o suppose that we should he aideto develop such competent leadership inNow Zealand,

“ Under (lie organisation now recom-mended of the sever'd medical services eachunder its own chief, it should and rnu.-ihe possible to arrange thar no emergcnccould arise that will not brim? the

promptest attendance of some staff mem-ber; otherwise there must bo a whole-timoservice in whole or part. ‘Thp time wheneach doctor was a self-sufficient unit, inthe diagnosis and treatment of his patienthas gone. It is necessary that one shouldthink more and more in terms of organisedmedical practice. The medioal man, byvery reason of his training, his environ-ment, and his work, is individualisticin his point of view, and the co-ordinationoi these individualists into a working wholeis fraught with exceeding difficulty.’-(Chapman). In any scheme the ultimate re-sponsibility for tho care of the patient restson tho medical .man in charge, but iho workof all must ho co-ordinated and the workof each complemented, so that the maxi-mum result bo obtained from the com-posite.“Every hospital ought to have some

method of appraising each doctor’s work.This can only ho done by, an efficient recorddepartment, with an adequate follow-upservice and an intelligent study of end re-sults, as is so strongly advocated bv theAmerican College of Surgeons. It is justns necessary to have stock-taking in a hos-pital as in a factory; the hospital has aproduct (human life/ of much greater value.

“I hope the Otago Hospital Board wnlshortly put the-Dunedin Hospital, recorddepartment on a basis of efficiency in someway comparable to the present standard inAmerica.

“The medical staff should bo encouragedto become part of the administrative forceof the institution, to assist in rule-makingand to help in seeing that all tho rulesof tlie institution are carried out.MEDICAL STAFF AND HOUSE STAFF.

‘ Stated bluntly, tho relation is that ofmaster workman and apprentice. The gov-erning board has undertaken to give thehouse staff experience ,iti their professionin consideration of their labour in the carecf the patients. Acting for the, board, (hemedical staff are committed to instruct thohouse staff in the practice of their profes-sional duties. It is their duty also to seethat these young men carry out orderspromptly, efficiently, and conscientiously,and if they fail, to report such derelictionto the superintendent for discipline. Medi-cal men ail the world over know' how, intheir own younger days the correct bearingto patients and the public had to bo learnedequally as well as tho healing art, and t.iostaff member has not performed his wnnleduty by ins apprentice unless the lessonsof "the’ teacher go bovond more medicalservice and enter upon tho domain of ethicsin nil its branches.MEDICAL STAFF, HOSPITAL BOARD,

AND SUPERINTENDENT.“Tlio medical staff and thc superinten-

dent are all fellow-employees of the Hos-pital Board. The medical staff is an opo-rntiiif? department of the hospital under aJ'-iino contract; made by tho ho?pitri| bonrato perform certain duties (treating thepatients) in consideration of being given

an appointment which brings added pres-

tige, greater public patronage, and widerexperience. Undoubtedly the medical stall■«ivn more to the community than they re-ceive. ‘The superintendent of the. institu-tion is tiie executive officer of the hoardof directors. Ho is not a member of themedical staff, and his functions fellow pre-cisely along the lines of the activities ofthe hoard of directors. Their -.privilegesare his, their duties are his. and in theabsence of the hoard he is their rcpiesont.i-tivo.’—(Hornsby).

medicau kffici toncy.“How can wo estimate what really con-

stitutes efficiency in a hospital? Mac-Eachern says; ‘An efficient administrationof the medical division of the hospital wdltake into consideration the providing .ofsuitable accommodations, equipment, faeihties. organisation, and procedure as wdlbest afford every patient entering the hos-pital:—

“‘(a) The proper reception and immedi-ate attention on admission, giving thepatient, a rapid and comfortable psychicadaptation to the now surroundings.

“ To) The immediate and thorough studyof iho case, to work out. ns. early, accurate,and complete a diagnosis as possible.

“ ‘(c) The applicat ion of (ho most, rationaland effective treatment; and finally

“‘(d) The obtaining of the very best re-sults known to scientific medicine, hayingthe nationt pass through the hospital in theshortest and most comfortable manner, ulti-mately returning to working or producingcapacity in as completes anc! pormanpnt aphysical condition ns can Vie obtained, andsubsequently keeping the patient undeiobservation for the necessary time througha well-organised follow-up system.’

“Having regard to tho above statement,the efficiency at the Dunedin Hospital willbe considerably increased when there isprovided a suitable administrative block,admission and emergency block, modernOut-patient clinic, new diet kitchen, nowX-ray and radium department. adequatelaundry, adequate records staff,social service, suitable provision for casesof mental disease, chronic disease**, infec-tions diseases, and venereal diseases; im-proved medical staff otaarusaLion.

“Incidentally the efficiency of the OtagoHospital Board’s activities would he con-siderably increased by tho concentration ofthe various allied institutions into the pri-mary and the secondary hospital areas inDunedin, tho separation of charitable aid'from hospital .service, and greater correla-tion with the health service, and tho con-solidation of tho community’s nursing ser-vice. There is at present an uncontrollableinefficiency in our medical service to thecommunity from the above causes, whicheasily represents a dead loss of SO per cent.,

or more of efficiency which tho manage-ment is powerless to avoid.’’

The Superintendent’s report was referredto tho Hospital Committee.

THE CREMATORIUM.TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,- —A proposal that needs the absurdmisrepresentations with which one W. I>.Anderson seeks to twister up the crema-torium proposal at onco becomes an objectof ridicule. We begin to ask ourselves bowmany bees can Ibid a place in one bonnet,how many nonsensical notions will .(it com-fortably m one head. Mr Anderson tollsns that cremation is a necessity, thoughupon whoso authority he makes the asser-tion ho omits to say. If it were a neces-sity, is it not strang-o that the local gov-ernment boards and the Ministry of PublicHealth in Britain are silent upon the ques-tion''' But. be goes on : "It is well knownthat germs breed freely in tho earth andtherefore every corpse buried in our midstconstitutes a grave menace to the healthof tho living.’’ 1 challenge him to men-tion one recorded, well-authenticated caseof outbreak of disease due to water con-taminated by tho drainage of a 'graveyard.Medical opinion testifies that there is noground for supposing that emanations fromgraveyard soil are dangoraus to health, ftthey were, their elfcci would he mostmarked among grave-diggers, a class that,like tho workers in sowers, are obstinatelyhealthy in spito of all a priori reasoningto the contrary. Your correspondent thinksthat too much land is set apart for burialgrounds. A crematorium in Dunedin willnot cause much of a reduction in this re-spect, unless, indeed, burial grounds areto he abolished altogether in conformitywith the belief of tho Continental Free-masons that ‘‘Cremation pyres will rob theChurch of her last right to rule the dead.”Although the Cremation Society were care-ful to say that no one .should bo crematedagainst his will, tho fact that .so many cre-mation supporters stress this waste landargument, creates tho suspicion that _ thoCremation Society is a rather more sinisterbody than it appears on the surface. Thewaste land argument is as unconvincingas tho others advanced in support of cre,-

mation. The ground devoted to tho burialof the dead in any country is extremelysmall in proportion to the total area ofarable land. Crematories and columbariawould withdraw nearly as much soil fromagriculture ns burial grounds, besides beingcostly to erect and to operate. Mr Ander-son thinks that, cremation would not pre-vent the detection of crime by precludingtho possibility of exlrumatipn. Mr Ander-son is no doubt a very high authority onthis point, but in order to show that greatminds sometimes ditt’er, let mo quote theopinion expressed by Nolter and Firth m“ibo Theory and Practice of Hygiene.”“Tho second" objection is, however, moreserious, and cannot bo regarded us satis-factorily met by tho proposal for minuteand detailed autopsy in every case. In ouropinion, such a procedure is quite imprac-ticable; even if it were feasible, the dis-covery of organic disease would not excludethe possibility of foul play. 'I he discoveryof a few poisons, such as copper, mightbn detected in tho ashes, but all organicand volatile mineral poisons would be dissi-pated by cremation.” Tile bee in your cor-respondent’.-; bonnet. drones loudly whenht- says that cremation was banned by theChurch because it. was believed (hat theearthly body was to rise intact on the Judg-ment Day. "lie mixes up the teaching of the,Jimrch with the belief of the ancient pagansthat by 'burning the bodies of the Christianmart’’!’# they made, the resurrection of thobody impossible. The Church condemnscremation for reasons good and sufficientand quite removed from anything touchingwio resurrection of the body.

OCTAGON THEATRE.“Tongues of Flame,” adapted from (he

novel of that name by Peter Clark MacFar-lane, brings Thomas Meiglian to the screenat (he Octagon Theatre this week in arole in which the public likes him best.In (lie Paramount picture presented by.Joseph ileuabery, ho plays “Hell Fire’’Harrington, recently returned world-warveteran who takes up the practice of lawin a one-horse town. It is only half-heartedly (.hat Harrington enters upon hisprofession. He has been “over there,”seen all there is to life, as lie thinks. Any-thing (hat happens now is of little conse-quence. It is not long before Harringtondiscovers that he has missed the mostwonderful thing in life- romance. Andit’s a double-barrelled romance at that.Harrington's position in the firm of JohnBoland, the town capitalist, brings on adelightful affair with the millionaire’sbeautiful daughter, Billie. The other girlin (he ease is a little Indian school teacherwho worships Harrington in silence.Boland's business tactics are not usstraightforward as they might be, andEnbleet, the little Indian girl, tells Meigluiiihow her people were once swindled out oftheir land and she fears the same thing isto happen again. Harrington promisesto protect them. Aiid it is this promisethat starts all the trouble. Oil on theIndian lands greatly enhances their valueto the crafty Boland, and Harrington findsthat he has been double-crossed when heattempts to buy up the lands, Boland hav-ing already purchased by underhandmethods. The case is taken to the courts,and tho land is returned to the Indians,together with Boland’s town. This startsa riot, and the hero finds himself in prisonfrom which lie is eventually released. Aninteresting triangular love contest con-cludes successfully for Eileen Percy, whois supported in her piece by Bessie Love.

The accompanying music will be sup-plied by the Paramount Octagon Orchestra,directed by Art'hnr Nente.

which had a very lengthy run when, it wasfirst produced in Ixmdon, and which sub-sequently tonrod (he dominions whore it wasequally successful, was released in a filmproduction nf the Quean's Theatre for thofirst lime yesterday. It .is a recognisedfact, that when a book or a play isdramatised for the screen it reflects thosuccess the author has attained. Similarly.“Going Up,” which created a fnroro ofenthusiasm wherever it was produced, willte equally successful as a. film, Tire storyis well produced, and well staged.

VISIT OF MOSCOVITCH.

WORLD-FAMOUS ACTOR.

Arrangements wore made some monthsago by J. C. Williamson (Ltd.) for tho ap-pearance in the dominion of the famousactor, Maurice Moscovitch, but owing tothe phenomenal success that attended thisartist in Australia., the management wasroiuctantly compelled to postpone his com-ing to New Zealand ut that, time. Nowwe arc to see this celebrated artist andhis talented company at last. Ho willcommence his Dunedin season at. His Maj-e.-ry’s Theatre on Tuesday. July 7, in thowonderfully successful four-'act drama, “ThoOutsider,” which played to capacity housesin Wellington, and is now drawing enor-mous audiences to the Theatre Royal,Christchurch. “The Outsider” is stated tob 0 an excellent drama. With a clever blendof unforced humour, which could he ruinedvery easily, however, by unskilled handling.Rut under the master hand of MauriceMoscowitch it becomes a vivid play, withmany tense dramatic situations that, areworked up in n thrilling manner.

MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN.

Next week tho special campaign week oftho Dunedin iv.S.A. will bo in full swing.Tho week has teen sot apart by the execu-tive so that tho membership of (ho localassociation will bo lifted to a total of 3060.A special appeal is being made to thosereturned men who, at the inception of theassociation, were members but who. byreason, perhaps, of the. difficult after-waryears through which they had to pass,deemed it, necessary temporarily to severtheir connection with the association. Ifthe question of back dues is causing thesemen to withhold further membership aword to the secretary or office-bearers ofthe association during tins coming woe!;will very soon adjust matters. Mho policyof tho local executive is to meet all thesecafios on their merits. The main thing,from tho point, of view of the executive,is to so net that the future strength ofthis beneficial association will be increased.

A perusal of tho reports of tho workdone at tho recent N.Z.R.B.A. Conferencein Dunedin will show what important mat-ters are being and remain to be dealtwith by tho association. There are thequestions of T.B. soldiers, economic pen-sions, D.S.S. Act, and immigration, tomention only a few.

From a social aspect, the local R.S.A.Glub, so generously provided by (ho citi-zens of thus province, is doing pre-eminentwork, and during the corning week it. willbo thrown open with all the organisationsof tho H.B.A. co-opcrai im-r to_ show what,the iisgooiation is doing lor its memberssocially. Every cx-service man. New Zea-land or otherwise, is at liberty to cometo the club during this campaign weekto soe for himeolf what is available. Fortho week tho association has; adopted asits slogan ".Service above aclf”—a, slogantypical of service .davs and more pointednow in that membership of this associa-tion should imply what a man can put into help his former comrade and not neces-sarily what ho can indiviih:: !!,, -et out ofit. In the -words of Coloney Stewart,dominion president of the N.Z.U.S.A., atthe recent conference, “The time has nowarrived when membership of Ihe N.Z.R.B.A.should be considered a privilege.”

OUT, UNSATISFACTORY FINANCIALPOSITION AND ITS REMEDY.

TO THE EDITOR.Sia,—In your issue of 20th inst., there

appeared a import of a .speech delivered bySir George Elliot as chairman at the an-nual meeting' of tho Bank of New /peala-ndin Wellington a portion of which dealt withthe value of the exports and ’ imports ofthe dominion for the year ending March51 Inst. There also appeared in the same

■ is.suo a report of a speech delivered bySir George Fenwick nt tho annual meetingof tho Perpetual Trustees Estate andAgency Company, Dunedin, wherein hemade reference to the same matter. Bothgentleman referred to the value of thedominion exports for the year(£54,771,158) us being a record, atia' increase of £5,119,(XX) over that of 1924,but against this, the value of our importsfor 1925 (£49,821,095) had increased over(hat of 1924 by no less than £5,420,000. Un-fortunately therefore our trade balance atMarch 31, 1925, amounted only to£4,950,063, a surplus Sir George Elliotpointed out which “was quite inadequateto meet the amount annually required topay interest on loans raised by the Gov-ernment and local authorities outside thedominion.” _ .

In your loading article dealing with thismatter in tho sumo issue you say “It is

plain that that Is not a healthy position.Certain it is not a healthy position ; and]>articularly so when wo bear in mind thatthis unhealthy position exists ut the sameperiod as we are obtaining extreme pricesfor most of our exportable products. Asto this every person in the dominion shouldobserve, as Sir George Fenwick puts it“(hat the high prices that have ruled orlate for wool, moat, butter, cheese, etc.,cannot be ex doctod to continue indefi-nitely.” Sir ‘George Elliot, in stressingthe need for general economy to meet thoposition, isays, “In Now Zealand therewas not the slightest doubt that in privatelife people wore spending too much on im-ported luxuries, and it was J.imc to calla, halt'and consider the position.” AgainSir George Fenwick says: “It is

certainly not comforting to findthat having increased the valueonr exports from £2(1,000,000 in IJI4 toalmost £55,000,000 in 1925 (mostly throughenhanced prices and only partly throughincreased production) our trade balancewill not. suffice to cover our annual lia-bility for overseas interest.” He furthersays': “The remedy would appear to beof‘a two-fold nature, first a reduction in(he volume of onr imports, and secondly,an all-round increase in our productionand exportation.”

Summed up, the opinions expressed re-garding onr economic position are clearand to the point. Every person in thedominion, no matter of what occupationor station in life, will be affected by theseresults disclosed. As to the first remedy

it is doubtful if much will be done in thedirection of decreasing our imports unlessbrought about by stern necessity. Themodern idea of life compared with that ofpre-war days is fast, furious, and extrava-gant. and as Sir George Elliot remarks;“Any advice as to the need for the generaleconomy is unpalatable.” As to thesecond remedy: “An all-round increase inonr production and exportation.” 9 his tomy mind is the only way in which we caneffect a lasting remedy. About 95 percent, of our exports consist of -the productsof the farm —wool, meat, butter, cheer*-,etc. Therefore, if vve are to meet our ob-ligations and continue as a prosperousunit of the British Empire we must enor-mously increase our production of these.But how is this to bo done? So far thosewho have recently spoken or written on thesubject have not given us any indicationof how this all-round increase is to bebrought about. So I beg now to offerwhat seems to me to lie the proper provi-

sion to make for a speedy remedy of thispressing need. .

For the/past nine years I have in publicaddresses, given both in the. North andSouth Islands as well ns by written ar-ticles which were published from time totime stressed tho position into which wewere too surely drifting, and that our pre-war rate of production would not be nearlysufficient to enable ns to meet our thenfuture financial obligations. The futurethen predicted lias now • become

the present. AVc are in very truthup again it, now. The inflated priceswhich were being received .

foronr primary products had been casting aglamour over our vision and creating afalse sense of progression and security. Wohave consequently become apathetic and in-different to onr real position. Ihis apathy,unlive grappled with, will have a rudeawakening when prices again becomenormal. The farming community have mI ho past cont inued to carry on their farm-ing methods on unsound lines, althoughwell aware that for -c last 20 years turnips,rape, and kale, the main fodder cropsgrown by thorn, have periodically, been sub-ject. to attack bv fungus diseases and in-sect posla rendering these fodder cropsworthless as a f..od in most, instances.Even whore partially attacked tho value oftho crop is much reduced as a food, andbecomes unpalatable for stock. Yetfarmers have continued year after year tosow these crops, in the blind hope thatthe next sowing will succeed. To realisehow tips practice has handicapped tho pro-ductivity of the dominion for at least 20years, one has only to lock at tho stockreturns, particularly those of the SouthIsland, which show that for moro than aclecedo no progress has been made, par-ticularly in the number of onr flocks, al-though more land is now available aspasture and for green crops, made so be-cause nf loss land being devoted to graingrowing.

An example:—South Island flocks, 1914 11,642,805South Island flocks, 1924 10,297,059

Decrease in number 1,545,746If, therefore, we are to increase pro-

duction in regard to both our flocks' andonr herds, we must cease fanning “by ruleof thumb” and "bv the dark of tho moon,”etc., as in the past. VVo must get oneof i.ho rut in which we have laboured toolong. Wo must grow in our pasturesplants of a more permanent and reliablecharacter than at present. VVo must growfodder crops not susceptible to disease andinsect posts like turnips, rape, and kale;VVo must grow fodder crops not influencedby extremes of weather, crops that canbe stored, if need bo, for many years with-out deterioration, crops capable of beingsuccessfully produced on moat soils in thodominion,’ and that thrive equally well at,low and high altitudes. Crops that willensure an increase in the present carryingcapacity of our lands by from 1 to 10or more sheep per acre, and an increase mcattle in likemanner. Grow a fodder that,when established and properly looked after,will produce three, four, live, or more cropsin a season, and continue doing so withoutrenewal for 10 to 50 and moro years, andthat will not exhaust tho soil, but willimprove it annually.

’Then how can this lie accomplished? Ob-serve (he following; ’lho remedy and means[>y which vho. lands of the dominion cunbo brought to produce their maximum is

by the universal adoption of lucerne grow-ing on every farm. Millions of acres nowoccupied in' tho dominion producing an-nually little or nothing towards tho wealthand prosperity of tho country are capableof growing lucerne to advantage, and there-by'contributing their share in the generalproduction. Our principal competitors inthose markets of the world where ourprimary products are sold, are extensivelucerne-growers, and if wo are to increaseour production and hold our own againstthose" other countries, we must take a leafout of their book, and follow tho farmingpractices which are proving so successfullywith them. Profitable farming in its widestand most, exacting experience is tho intelli-gent cult Lire of mother eart h. Extensiveculture of the soil may produce big profits.The operations of the farm may possibly beconducted with consderable gain without,a cron of lucerne. Likewise may we cay,pr>ssi! -Iv of stock-raising, stock-fattening,or dairying, but tho greatest universal re-turn (o'the dominion, and to the individualproducer to be bail from farming, froml ieck-raising, from stock-fattening, fromdairying, can only be obtained by havinga liberal acreage of lucerne. It, has boonproved beyond a doubt that hu-erne can.lie grown in New' Zealand from the NorthCape to (ho Bluff. The bogie (hat lucernewould grow only on specially selected soilshas been exploded yearn ago. There arefew c oils on’which it will not, grow, andamongst those are sour water-logged, badly-drained hinds, or lands ’ having a, thickimdorpan. Lucerne v ill yield from (wo tosix or more crops in a season if it is sownand looked after under common souse con-ditions. When once established it meansindependence. Frosts and droughts, floods,in-rot. pesls, or fungus disease.- have lesseject on lucerne than on any olhei cropmown. II produces a stream of never fail-ing wealth, and trusts and “panics cannot,injure the lucerne grower." Lucerne is oneof the simplest and easiest plants grownin the world. I( is one of tho hardiestplant- Known, one. of 1ho most responsive.There are no longer any mysteries aboutit. Keys are to be found with which tounlock the most stubborn soils. To-day wohave found those, keys, and no longer shouldany man fail to make lucerne grow. Theil-iv of experimenting with lucerne is over.The day of “-nrcly” growing it has come.

We here (he land, and here wo havethe conditions to double cur product ion,and this production of the laud will have

to be doubled if this country is to freeitself from the crushing burden of.its publicdebt.

Wo must accordingly see to it that every'acre of land now in occupation in thedominion is brought to produce to itsfullest capacity and to grow, as in someof these republican countries of SouthAmerica, two blades of grass or more whereone grew before. The need of the houris increased production, and very man andwoman from end to end of New Zealandshould raise the slogan ‘‘lncreased Produc-tion” and still more “Increased Produc-tion.” This condition should demand thatimmediate action be taken to promulgatea definite policy regardin'?- the imperativenational need, and wherever necessary ofcompelling all occupiers of land—as wasdone by the Government of Great Britainduring the war—to increase the productionof primary products in order to meet thepressing situation. Such a policy shouldhe national in its scope and character.Such a drastic policy might possibly ireconsidered by many in the dominion asindefensible, but -such is not tho case ifwe view our present position and futureoutlook dispassionately. Here is a move-ment for dominion welfare—a movement inwhich every participant will immediatelybenefit. 'then wake up Now Zealand!This is the need of Uie hour. Doable thevolume of our output of dairy produce,wool, meat, and other exportable products,and save the situation by lucerne growing.Do as the provinces of Saskatchewan andOntario in Canada did, as the northernStates of U.S.A. did, and as the Argen-tine did. Each and all of these had ex-perienced overburdened finances, and ob-tained relief by increasing the productivityof its lands through the adoption of theuniversal growing of lucerne.—l am, etc., •

WAIROA AND THE EAST COAST

There arrived in Dunedin some daysago an old member of the journalisticfraternity in the person of Mr T. Lambert,of Wairoa, Hawke’s Bay, on Ihe EastCoast of the North Island. Mr Lambert,who has been engaged in journalistic- workin his own district for nearly 40 years, isvisiting this city to supervise the publica-tion of a book i.e has written entitled‘‘The Story of Old Wairoa and the-EastCoast, N.Z.,” on Which he has been en-gaged for some years. The volume shouldattract attention to the large and fertile,but much neglected East Coast districtbounded by Poverty Bay on tho north andNapier on tho south. Mr Lambert pointsout that the district is now coming intoprominence, owing to tho coast section ofthe East Coast trunk railway—Gisborne toNapier—and the decision to proceed withthe national hydro-electric scheme at Wai-kareinoana. This lake, which is one ofgroat beauty from a scenic, point of view,is capable of developing 145,000 horse-power, even if it die! not rain one droptor nine months in the year. It is tobo the keystone in tho North Island sys-tem—Memgahao' in tho south, Arapuni intho north, and Waikareraoana in the centre.Assuming that Mangahao or Arapuni failedat any time, Waikaremoana could carryall ithe load. Mr Lambert pays a warmtribute to the lloform Government, andmore especially to the Hon. J. G. Coates,as Public Works Minister (and now thePrime Minister), for his broad-mindedstatesmanship and his recognition of theneeds of Wairoa and tho East Coast.

DAMAGING STOCK.

CASE AT BALCLITHA.

A FARMER CONVICTED.

A ease which lasted all the morning washeard in the Balclutha Police Court beforeMr H. J. Dixon, S.M.. j esterday. ThomasLachlan Macdonald, farmer, of Ranlde-burn, Pomahaka, was charged with thaton or about May 1 he diet wilfully damagethree rams, the property of Thomas Chap-man, by performing . a surgical operationon them, and, further, with that, on orabout April 5, ho tlid wilfully damage ahull, also belonging to Chapman, by shoot-

’VBaunorman (Gore) appeared for thedefendant, and Chief-detective Lewis con-ducted t.ho case for the police.

The Magistrate consented to take thetwo charges together.

Mr Bannerman: Do you propose to treatthis as an indictable ohence your Aorship?

The Magistrate: 1 can’t do anything else.Air Bannerman pointed out that there

was an option in a case of this nature, andthe Magistrate intimated that he wouldtreat it as an indictable case.

The witnesses were ordered out of court.Thomas Chapman, runholdcr, residing in

the Ciuiha County, said that one side ofhis properly was bounded by a big creekcalled the "Rnnkleburn, and on the otherside was the road line. Beyond that wasMacdonald’s property, and there wasno fence on either side. Two niilee ofthe boundary between the adjoining pro-perty was uiifenced. Sometimes the cattleintermixed by crossing through the creek.Witness had had this property for 25 years.The first time ho saw Macdonald after hebought his property two years ago witnessinquired what arrangement they wouldmake regarding a fence, and the defendantsaid to leave it. as it was. There hadnever been any complaint between the twoof them about the cattle trespassing. V it-ness said th.it he had a three-year-old Here-ford hull, purchased as a yearling from•John Miller and lions for £4 10s or £5.It had hever been earmarked. On thenight of April 3 witness’s sou John toldhim something, and witness sent his twosons to Macdonald’s property to bring the.bull home. They did not brino- it home.A few days later witness saw the hull onhis own property, and ho noticed that itsleft hind leg was broken on the, fleshy partof the hip and was just swinging. OnApril 11 witness, in company with his sonAlexander, saw Macdonald, and told himthat when his two boys wont to fetch thebull they found it with its leg broken.Ho asked the defendant if ho had any ideawhat had caused it, and Macdonald repliedby saying that on the day before he toldJohn about the bull being on his property,and he and his man had taken it into hisyard and roped it up with the intention ofperforming an operation. Before theycould do this, however, the, bull gotloose, and tho accused took his rifle andfired two shots into tho bull. itnessasked him his reasons for this action andthe accused replied that it was because thobud was on his property. Witness told banthat if be had let him know the bull wastheer ho would have taken it home at once.The bull had had to be destroyed. On May2 witness and' his two sons went to Mac-donald's place in reference to some sheepthat belonged to witness. Macdonald wasnot at home,' but ho had left a messagethat the sheep were in a paddock. Witnesswont to find Macdonald and met him onthe road, lie told him that, ho nad comofor tho sheep and asked him if it werecorrect that he had told his sou tho daybefore that ho had operated on three ofwitness’s rams. Macdonald said yes, hohad operated on three of them because hehad found them amongst lus sheep. _ Wit-ness said that if he had only told him hewould have taken them home. There wasno need to do what fie had done as he hadtho rams in tho yard. The defendant saidthat ho considered, under the circumstances,that ho had a right to do it. ”Vou'vodestroyed my bull, and damaged my throerums,” said witness to the defendant. ‘‘Doyou intend to replace them ” The defen-dant said that he was going to do nothing,whereat witness said that ho would Jet thomatter stand for a few days to give Mac-donald an opportunity for settlement. Afterthat, miless something were clone, ho wouldlet tho law lake its course. “The hostthing yon could do, Chapman.” the defen-dant had replied. Witness then went forhis sheep. 'There were 20 of them and thothree rains, which were among them, borosigns of a recent operation. These ramswere a breed he had been working upfor the past 25 years. He assessed tho valueof them at 10 guineas each. Witness car-ried about 91’0 sheep and about 40 headof cattle.

To Air Bannonnan: Witness would not

have taken an offer of payment unless Thomatter were referred also to tho law. ‘Tcannot settle with him if he goes and doesa crime,” witness said, lie was going toact the law in motion in any case.

Air Bannerman: I think you are onlyplaying the fool, Air Chapman.

Witness said that he had not bougntmerino or Leicester rams for r. 5 ycais.

Mr Bannerman: Your method is thosame as any other stock breeders, I sup-

poso ? You buy runis u.ucl stick to thobreed ?

Witness: Yes.About six years ago witness said that h©

bought ICO Romney owes. He had not pur-chased any since then.

At this stage the Alagistrate expressedhis intention of treating tho case as asummary one as it could thus be dealt withmore conveniently.

'The defendant then pleaded not guiltyand tho cross-examination of the previouswitness was continued.

To Air Bannerman: WThiess Had neverbefore had trouble with Macdonald mregard to his rams. On May 11 witness re-ferred to two jams lie had bought fromMacdonald and which ho had found to boinjured. The defendant said lhat ho hadinjured them. The rams later died. Wit-ness had made no real complaint, but hadpointed out the cruelty of the act. It wasa common enough thing for rams to stray,and his had strayed, lie had al.-o deliveredbook stray rams. About 12 months agowitness had given another fanner permis-sion to perform an operation on some ofhis second-rate rams should any of themgot into his property, and this permissionhad been availed of. Witness had not givenMacdonald any authority to interfere withhis rams. Witness promised to take stepshimself should any o i bis poorer class ramsstray on to Macdonald's property. He ad-mitied that nobody had ottered him 10guineas for any of ids rams, but, that, hesaid, was the value they were to him. Hehad been endeavouring tor .23 years to breedthis class of ram. Un one occasion some ofMacdonald’s sheep' were tampered withabout the ears, and the accused suggestedthat witness had done ir. The marks werecertainly a rough imitation of witness's ear-mark. cul, lie nad not done it nor did heknow who had done it. Tho imitation wasa very poor one, and .ho could not assignany reason for anyone dohig such a tiling.

Mr Bannerman; Haven’t the police beenon your property jt different times?

Witness; Vos.Witness said that if he had found an

unbranded stieep on his property he wouldcertainly have earmarked it as Ids own.That was the custom.

Air Bannerman: Why did you leave thisbull for a month with it swinging leg I

Witness; 1 wanted the police to see it.It was a cruel basinets, wasn't it?—lt was.

The Chief Detective; Why did the policevisit your place?.Witness: They were out there with civil

summonses regarding school attendances,etc.

At the muster a week age, witness con-tinues, Macdonald claimed that some clwitness’s earmarks were not quite light.The stock inspector raid that they were aitright, and allowed witness to take tnem.Witness saw the lambs Macdonald had pre-viously complained anout and remarkedthat they clearly liclongtd . to Macdonald,though someone had been endeavouring to

aJler their earmarks to make them look likewitness’s.

John Chapman, son of tne previous wit-

ness. said that the accused had told himthere was a stray bull without an earmarkon his property, and asked him if it werehis. Witness .-aid (hat he did not know,but would come over the following day andsee it. lie did so, and identified the n.as his father’s. The left hind log wasbroken.

Detective Russell said that on May_ 14.in company with a eon-table, he examinedthe boundary between the two properties,lie was present when the bull was shotand an examination showed that it was un-branded. '1ho left leg wa* swollen, and whenhe skinned it he found that it was brokenin three places, A’v itness found a bullet mthe leg. The same, day he -aw in the de-fendant’s stock yard one full-mouthed ramwhich had undergone a recent operation.He also examined two young ranis andthey too had undergone recent operations.They were in poor condition. On May .

he interviewed defendant at*, his home, andlie made a statement, saying, among otherthings, that he found the bull among hisc;*;i!■ • and -hot it in the heat of themoment while it was running. The ilis-lance was 6-C'yds, and he thought lie hadmissed it.

To Air Bannerman; Witness made no

ii■f( 11 irio.s in tlio district regardingcharacters of the defendant and the com-plainant.

Air ihinncrmaii said that the charge in

I hin case tv as of damage to various animals,hut under the section in which this casecame there was no offence unless the dc-fcadant lutd no legal justification or excuseor had shot the animal without colour ofright. Regarding the rams, sonic arrange-ment had paljwihly been made, and theevidence was obviously tainted. He suu-niitio;) rhar the case should be dismissed.

I ho Alagistrate refused to do this.The Defendant, in evidence, said that

there were Hereford? all through thevicinity of Ids property, and there waslymml to bo a good many stray cattm.Witruvs asked Chapman to keep the hullawiiv from his properly, and he had com-plained about it. When he first saw (hehull w itness was mustering sheep, and whenho went over to investigate he found thatii was not branded or earmarked. _Hehad never been as close as that to Chap-man's hull before. Chapman had boughttho bull from Miller Brothers, and, know-ing it to have come from them, he wouldhave expected it to have had Miller s ear-quirk on it. Seeing none on this bull,he concluded that it was a scrub animal.Witness tried his best to rope it. AVlionwitness tired at the bidI the nrnpial was500 yards away. lie did not think he hadhit it, as the hull gave no sign of having

been struck. Twelve days had elapsed be-fore Chapman complained to him. Hadwitness known that the bulla leg hud beendamaged to the extent it was he wouldhave 'said that, he could not, have done it.Witness thought that ho was quite justifiedin shooting tho animal. _Thcro were anyamount of deer stalkers in that country,and every day they heard shots. It wouldbe quite easv to have shot the wronganimal, as thorn was a good deal of scrubcountry Tho bull would have been worthabout ’3os at present market rates. Speak-ing of tho rams, witness said that they worescrubbers. ,

Mr Bannerman: What about this 10-guinea ram business?

Defendant: Absurd!They were rams which, if they got among

his own eves, would depreciate the valueof his stock. In the summer .of 1925-24witness found some of Chapman s rains onhi? land and he came to an agreementwith Chapman that rams trespassing onhis nlaco were to ho treated, Cnapmanoffering to do the work. It was reallyleft onen who was to do this. The resultwas that he got hack some of Chapmansrams which had been there before, and hosaw they had not been treated. A\ itnessdealt with tho next lot .himself. Hod'd not say anythin"- about if to Chapman,as he had heard that ho was rather can-tankerous. The next discussion ho haduvHh Chapman vafi on April 11. when tholatter asked what witness had oone to thotwo ranis he had sent back. W itnesstold him, and Chapman replied that hoshould have told him. In witness s mindthere was nn doubt that the sheep, withthe altered earmark wore his ongi.naliv.There was no other mark in tho districtlike Chapman’s, and there was no doubtthat they were being altered to Chapman smark. Ho accused Chapman or someoneof altering tho phoop in his (Ohanman s.interests.

”

Tho sWp would certainly havebeen taken for Chapman’s. Witness wasfirndv of the opinion that ho was justifiedin what he had done.

To (ho Chief-detective; Witness s pro-perty was fenced at the back, but therewas a portion of bush not fenced. AVihlcattle had every chance of getting on to hisplace down tho Ranklobnrn Creek, hut hohad never found any on his land. He be-lieved Chapman had two bulls—one a whiteand the other a Hereford. It was in Sep-

tember 1023. that he told Chapman hehad shot his own bull and asked him tokeep his bull away.

Alfred Gordon Miller (farmer) said thatthe hull was sold by him to Chapman for£4 io.s. That was the only hoast that hadleft his property without an earmark.

Mr Ilamiormau: Are the rams thatknock about on Chapman’s property worth10 guineas each?

Witness: Certainly not. As rams they

are not worth anything.Witness had scon the doubtful sheep

which m a sale would have passed asChapman’s. .

To the Chief-detective: The bull wasabout nine months old when Chapmanbought it. Witness had seen wild cattleabout four or live miles up the hills, but

he had never seen or heard of any on theflats. ~

To the Magistrate; The'hull now wouldbe worth anything from .”>os to £3.

The Alagistrate; Hid Chapman give youpermission to operate on any of the ramsor only the scrubbers?

Witness; As far as I can sec they arc allscrubbers.

Evidence was given by Constable Lla-mires (Tapnnui). Witness said that as faras he knew Alaedonnld bore a good repu-

tation. Ho did not know anything per-sonally about Chapman, but his reputa-tion among others was not. good.

The Alagistrate said that, this class ofease was likely to arise between fannerswhore there were no foi'cas. He wassatisfied that the defendant knew the bullbelonged to Chapman. There was nodoubt, however, that he was provoked totake the action that he did. In his writ-ten statement he made no reference to anyauthority given him to treat. Chapman’srams, mid his was at variance with his evi-dence. It was not an ordinary ease of aman deliberately shooting an animal, forit really arose out of trespass. The de-fendant would be convicted and orderedto pay costs (£* ISs (id) on the first charge,and on the second he would be, convictedand ordered to V-ome up for sentence whencalled upon. He would be required topay £2 for the bull.

AIENDATTONS.Tho Standing Committee recommended

that tho sum of lOgns bo granted to thoBritish and Foreign Sailors’ Society.

Air AlacAlanns hold that the funds of theboaitl should bo held for Harbour Boa.rdpmposes, and that no religious body shouldreceive funds from a public body to whionother religious bodies really contributed.Religion had created so much havoc andbloodshed in tho past that no public fundsshould bo contributed to any particularreligious body at, all. He proposed to voteagainst tho recommendation.

Air Cable said that so far as Port Chal-mers was concerned there was no religionintroduced. There was no drmomi na-tionalism about, tho Port Chalmers body,and tho men were made very much at homothorp.

Mr Campbell said tho same thing per-tained in Dunedin. Everyone was madewelcome, and given what might bo termeda little bit of homo. No donoininationahsmwas introduced.

-

The recommendation was adopted, AirAlacAlanus being (ho only member to voteagainst it.

The committee recommended with regardto Air C. AV. Sundatnim’s application for a.site on the north side of the Otago Yachtand Alotnr Boat Club’s property in boat,

The recommendation was adopted.The committee recommended for ’ pay-

ment, general accounts totalling £25.128 11s(Id and dock accounts totalling £3038 Is3d.—Adopted.

FREEZING WORKS.The Tort Chalmers Council wrote asking

that the appearance of the dock freezingworks might bo improved, in view of theforthcoming exhibition.

The Chairman said that Mr Bardsley andAir Wilkie had visited the premises thatday, and had drawn up a report. The re-port. suggested that Messrs Chandler an ICo. should be offered a space of 100ft longby Rill high for a hoarding, to he erectedto the approval of their engineer and their.secretary, these officers to arrange theterms with the company. There was asecond suggestion that failing satisfactoryarrangements with tho company the frontof the building could lie painted and madepresentable for tho sum of £2O.

Mollcr, seconded liy Mr Campbell, that thecollection of the I'tOO dock contribution bythe I’ort Chalmers borough Council bewaived, Mr Cow dissenting.

HIGHWAY AND STATION STUEET.Tim following letter was receive! from

Mr C. A. bewin, town clerk"Your let-ter of May 30 last, in reply to mineof May 13 on the above subject hasnow been considered by the City Council,which has directed the Public Works Com-mittee to negotiate further with yourboard and report at the earliest possibledale. The Works Committee has now ap-pointed a small sub-committee lo conferwith your board or representatives thereof,ami I would be obliged therefore if you'would be kind enough to inform me at yourearliest opportunity if and at what dateand time such a conference might lie ar-range!.”

Tin; Chairman said that the hoard hadset up a committee five or six months agoto go into this matter, but two of the mem-bers of that committee had not been re-turned to the board. He thought they mightappoint two new members and bring thecommittee up to its original strength. Heintended to advise the council that theywould meet it in conference and endeavouro come to some arrangement regardingStation street. The position was that thecouncil desired to secure 9ft of harbourland for the widening of the street fornothing, but it was prepared to pay thecompensation for the buildings ttltieh itwould be required to shift back. Afterthe conference had been held with the CityCouncil he would call the board togetherto report what had been done. The bttsi-nsss was really a matter for the board asa whole. Ho hoped they would bo able tosettle once and for all and have the dedi-cating dee<s completed. The delay wascausing a blocking of a settlement in con-nection with certain points, and it washolding up the board in giving notice to

certain’ of its tenants to remove theirbuildings, and also in regard to mattersconnected with Messrs Xees and Co.

Mr Moller wanted to know how theblocking of Noes’* buildings came into thequestion. They had to remember that (bo

lenses in Station street did not expire for12 years. Nothing could ho done for 12J<Xhc Chairman explaining said that MessrsNoes and Company's new buildings abuttedon the fresh lino of street, and they wantedto know the position exactly before theplant* wore completed. The question ofStation street was settled so far as theboard was concerned, but not so far as thecouncil was concerned.

Mr Rus-sell said the whole thin" was thatthe council wanted the strip of 9ft fornothing.

The Chairman said the council wantedthem to dedicate the Oft of land free ofcost, but it was prepared to pay compensa-tion’for the buildings. It would be a dead-lock unless the council gave way.

Mr Cable; If it comes to a deadlock thenthe street will remain 66ft as at present.

Mr MacManns said it was news to himto learn that the council was holding thematter up. There was a plan drawn up bythe board and signed by various members,anri in it nothing was said about the pay-ment for the 9ft of land. This demandfor pavment was an afterthought. It warnor, correct to say the council wanted theeethings for nothing. The ratepayers hadalready to pay an extra rate for what thecouncil was doing in connection with thehighway. rllic council was simply asking(he board to keep to the original agree-ment and dedicate the 9ft. No mentionof money had been made pTerktiaiw

Mr Rirsadl »-.<! was in Anwr of letttiagr

the council have tho 9ft for nothing if ittook it now, and carried the widening of99ft right through. If it did not take ,'tnow the council should pay for tho land ifit wanted it in tho future.

Mr MaeManus pointed out that Stationstreet wa-s only 66ft at present, and theproposal, with the 9ft of extra land, wasto widen it to 75ft.

,

The Chairman pointed out that if tho9ft was dedicated to the council now,—although the leases in Station street had12 years to run—the vacant sections wouldnot be built on, and compensation wouldtherefore be saved in the future. As ic-gards the plan mentioned by Mr MacManusit settled the question of the width, buthe did not know that it settled the questionof payment for the land. He himself hadheld all along that tho council shouldget the land for nothing, but he was onlyone member of tho board. If they increasedthe width to 75ft. and remodelled thestreet, ho considered tho board would getthe host of it. The council should pay com-pensation for the buildings, but bo didnot think it would do it. at tho presmittime because it would cost too much, itiecompensation for tho present buildings wasfor the Waitaki Company’s premises andMessrs Stone. Son and Company’s.

It was decided to add the names ofMessrs Mollor and Cow to ?nh-coinmiltoe and to adjourn to Tuesdayevening to receive the report of the rcsiutof the conference.

the proposals in the tanil before they arebrought into operation, the lion. .1.

He fully subscribed to theview that the public had ever right to boapproached and its representations hejiidon matters in which it was vitally interested.He hud decided some time ago to circulatethat hoard’s tariff proposals and lie wascarrying out that policy. It would bo Quitoobvious, however, that with a work of suchmagnitude discussions would go on indolenitoly unless the various organisations setup sin.all committees to thresh out the con-tentious matters with the board. Conse-quently it was decided to circulate the pro-posals to what might he termed the parent-body of each organisation, such ns the As-sociated Chambers of Commerce, the NowZealand Farmers’ Union, the Coal MineOwners’ Federation, etc. When the pointsin dispute had been thoroughly ventilated,the board's proposals would be submittedto the Government and the final decisiongiven. Tho public could rest assured thatevery facility was being given for interestedparties to place their view’s before this Rail-way Hoard and no increases in rates wouldhe brought into operation until a reason-able time had been allowed for discussion.

LABOUR HISTORY.

ITS DEVELOPMENT IN NEWZEALAND.

INVESTIGATIONS BY MR J. D.SALMOND.

A meeting of the .local branch of theEconomic bocicty of Australia and NewZealand was held on the Lower Oliverloom at tho University last evening. Fro-fessor A. G. Fisher presided over a goodattendance. The subject of the eveningwas a lecture on ’’Some Landmarks in theLabour History of Now Zealand” by Mr J.D. Salinond. Professor Fisher pointed outthat the value of tho Economic Society de-pended on the extent of the support itreceived from members of tho public. Thomost flourishing branch in New Zealand atthe present time was in Wellington,wherethere is a linancial membership in thoneighbourhood of 70. He appealed formore members for the local branch. Inintroducing Mr Salinond he explained thatMr Salirmnd had been devoting some timeto research into the labour history of NewZealand, a .subject into which remarkablylittle investigation bad been made so far.

Mr Salinond at tho outset commented ontho small knowledge of tho general historyof his country, let alone of its labour his-tory, possessed by the average New Zea-lander. Many of tho early settlers of NowZealand had iiad their baptism of tire in(lie Chartist movement, and were imbuedwith the ideas of social betterment currentin England in those times. lie showedhow, under Wakefield's original settlementscheme land was made dear so that labourmight lie cheap and plentiful. Thus fromthe very outset there was a sharp cleavagebetween the employers and labour in thodominion. Passengers by the barque Guba(o Wellington in 1840 pledged themselvesto work no more than eight hours a dayin the now land.' Dr Thomas Burns up-held tho same principle in Dunedin, butCaptain Cargill was instrumental for a timein increasing the working day to 10 hours.An English capitalist who arrived in Dun-edin in 1849 offered employment at in-creased wages for eight hours’ work, and(his saved tho principle of eight hours forOtago. Tho corner stone of the eighthours’ day was laid by the early pioneers,and maintained and extended by the. evervigilant watchfulness of the trades unions.Trades unionism, though it had very earlybeginnings in New’ Zealand, did not laybold on tile people till 1889. He tracedthe effects of Sir Julius Vogel's publicworks and borrowing policy, which greatlyincreased tho artisan population here. Theperiod of industrial prosperity whichbrought numerous trade societies into being,soon passed over, and very few of thornsurvived the period of severe depression(bat began in 1877. The year 1879 was onenf the darkest in the history of thodominion, when trade was at a standstilland destitution was rife. Efforts weremade by the unemployed to get tho Gov-ernments of tho United States and of Vic-toria to pay their passages to those coun-tries. In 1887 tho unemployed began toleave ibo dominion in swarms in searchof food, a.ud this movement continuedtill 1891. In the latter part of 1888 thesweating evil was publicly discovered inDunedin. This honour belonged to thoRev. Dr Rutherford Waddell, who as theresult of what he saw in his pastoralvisitation preached a sermon on “Tho Sinof Cheapness,” in which he denouncedsweating. Early in 1879 the Otago DailyTimes took up the crusade SirGeorge Fenwick, and the public consciencewas at- last aroused. Due of the resultswas the formation of Hie Tailorosses’ Union,and another was the setting up of a RoyaJCommission to inquire into the relationsof capital and labour in all spheres oflabour. The great trade union revivalof 1890-91 was outlined. The feeling- ofa common unity in the face of an enemymad:* the movement a force to be reckonedwith, but (he unions were unprepared fortinl great struggle that came about almostimmediately. "In the great Australianmaritime strike Labour was decisively de-feated, and the unions completely crippled.The Labour Party turned Ip the politicalweapon, and within a few months aftertheir defeat achieved a great victory atthe polls in 1890. This led to the estab-lishment -of the Arbitration Court. Theemployers as a whole were against its for-mation. They had the ascendency anddid not want the State to step betweenthem and their employees. The court wasable at first to grant, the workers mostof their demands, and was in consequencevery popular with them. For about 10years New Zealand was known as ibo landwithout a strike The revolutionary ideasthat suddenly appeared in 1908 could botraced to tlio miners of the West Coast,where there, came much revolutionary andI.WAV. literature from the United .States.The miners Ihcre decided to abandon theArbitration Court, and formed in its place(he Federation of Labour, which for thefirst time in New Zealand definitely adoptedthe principle of class warfare.—“The work-ing class and the employing class can havenothing in common,” In 1912 the mem-bership had grown to 15,000, and the con-fidence of the working class in peacefulmethods became seriously shaken._ Thecauses and effects of the. Waihi strike andof the watersiders’ strike of 1915 werebriefly traced. The more extremephilosophy of class conflict did not, capturethe great' body of the workers in New Zea-land. The absence cf any large body ofimmigrants enabled the workers to main-tain their solidarity here. Mr Salmondpointed out that, in the Labour movementRadicals and Conservatives were alwayspresent. The dangerous Radicals of to-day often were the ('onservatives of to-morrow, and he quoted several instances ofthis. The New Zealand workers, so far ashe could see. had gained little directly byindustrial action. The Arbitration Act wasput on the Statute Book at the dictation of(he unions. It. did not. satisfy everybody,bur. let them keep it (ill something betterwas found to put in its place. There werecertain factors which tended to mitigatethe bitterness of class warfare in New Zea-land, among these being the fact (hat itwas a country which depended very largelyon its primary prod nets.- He concludedby urging the importance of studying theindustrial situation so that it, might bebelter understood and hannony promoted.—(Apula use.)

At the close of the lecture a number ofnucstions were asked the. lecturer and (hechairman, and a number took part in aprolonged general discussion. On (liemotion of Mr G. M’Cracken hearty thankswere accorded the lecturer. He. expressed(he opinion that trades unionism to-davseemed to Vie at a dead end and withoutany clear outlook for the future, (houghmany possible lines of advance were beingexploded. He trusted that the resellsof Air Snlmond’a researches would not belost.

N.Z. AND SOUTH SEASEXHIBITION.

WELLINGTON COURT.THE PEOPLE APATHETIC.

(Per United Press Association.JWELLINGTON, June 26.

The Wellington Committee of the NewZealand and .South Seas Exhibition reportsthat only £IBSO is in hand of the £6OOO re-quired, and reports from Palmerston Northand Wanganui showed that very little in-terest has been taken there.

A member said that the present apathywas possibly duo to the want of definiteproposals as to the Wellington exhibit. Itwas suggested that the Harbour Hoardmight contribute £IOOO, but doubts werecast on its power to do so.

Mr Collins (Secretary of the Depart-ment of Industries and Commerce) urgedthat complete plans should be drawn up,and others took the same view.

Ultimately it was decided to go on, andfurther efforts will bo made to obtain theco-operation of the country districts.

WELLINGTON. Juno 26.A statement which amounted to an un-

dertaking that the 'Government will givelocal bodies authority to spend money uponthe District Courts at tho New Zealand andSouth Seas Exhibition was made by theMinister of Industries and Commerce to-day. “I know what you want,” said IhoHon. Mr Anderson, as soon as the deputa-tion entered the room. “You are busymen ami so am I. You want authority forlocal bodies to spend money on the Exhi-bition. Well, 1 am going to ask Cabinetto give that, authority. Does that fix you,gentlemen?” The spokesman replied in thoaffirmative, adding that tho sooner theauthority was given the better they wouldbe pleased.

The Minister said he would bring thematter before'Cabinet at the next meeting,to-day or to-morrow. The Minister road tothe deputation a draft of the clause givingthe necessary authority, and providing thatany overdraft incurred in respect to con-tributions to the Exhibition should not beregarded as an overdraft, which is subjectto tho Limitation of Local Bodies FinanceAct.

NORTH OTAGO EXHIBITS.

MEETING OF LOCAL BODIES.

STRONG COMMITTEE TO BE FORMED.

(From Ode Own Correspondent.)OAMARU, June 26.

A meeting of local bodies and othersinterested in the Otago Provincial Courtof the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibi-tion was hoid in the Borough CouncilChambers to-day. There was a representa-tive attendance, and the chair was occupiedby his Worship the Mayor (Mr J. M'Diar-niid). The Dunedin Executive was repre-sented by Mr W. B Tavener (chairman ofthe Central Committee) and Mr W. B. Steel(organiser).

Tho Mayor explained what had trans-pired on Iho occasion of the last visit ofthe deputation. He stated that the appealsfor funds had gone to the various localbodies. As a result a sum of £450 had been

. subscribed - in North Otago together with£25 from the Waitaki High School Board ofGovernors towards tho Education Court. Itwas felt, that another visit from Dunedindelegates was necessary in order thatthey should proceed with the expenditureof the £450 upon the right linos. The timehad arrived when a line of action shouldbe decided upon and they would knowexactly where they stood.

Mr Tavener stated that as a result of theappeals they had sent out. they were assuredof the success of their undertaking. Thevmight require a little more money, but ifthey did, they would not btw backward mcoming forward. It had now been decidedthat a committee should bo set up inOamaru to assist in securing exhibits. Sofar as the arrangements ware concernednine committees had been set up in Dun-edin and those had been divided into sec-tional committees on which there were about100 members. A meeting of the sectionalcommittees had boon held and the _ layoutfor four of the most important divisionshad been decided upon. Tire next step tobo taken was to call for tenders for theerection of the courts They had decided tomake the display representative of all theirprimary industries. Besides coal they wouldhave no fewer than 60 varieties of timberon exldbition. The original space allottedto the court was in No. 3 buliding.11 had now been decided to remove toan adjoining building between No. 2 andNo. 3 building. This would be roofedover. Arrangements were being made fortho "sale of fruit at tho court. In thedairy section cheese and honey, and perhapsbutter, would be sold. There was a furtherproposal that they should have a monstercheese, and this would contain somethingmore than cheese. It was intended to makea special display of the scenic beauties ofOtago, with appropriate lighting. Therewould also he a display of timber forest andof growing Has. It was not proposed thatthere should be any advertising m- connec-tion with the court. So far as Oamaruwas concerned, it was desired that a com-mittee should be formed to collect exhibitsof wool, stone, cereals, and limber. Ihcvwanted only the best of exhibits, as theydesired visitors to the show to be able tosay that, the Otago exhibits were the bestat the Exhibition.

Mr Steel suggested that North Otago

should adopt similar steps as had beenadopted at Balclutha, and set up specialcommittees. In the matter of wool it wasdesired by the wool expert that back-country wool bo secured from Oniarama

and other parte, as this had a distinctivecharacter. In respect to cereals, it was alsodesired that North Otago snould make aspecial display. Then they should have aspecial exhibit of building stone m whichOamaru had the sole interest It was pro-.nosed to erect an arch at the court in

Oamaru stone, which would be 12ft widebv 14ft high. Tho speaker said he was alsoanxious to procure «■ sample of the slatefrom Otcpopo. This was stated by MrPark to be the finest sample of slate in

New Zealand. The slate in the root of theDunedin Town Hall was procured from Ote-nono Anv other stone from this oistnctwould also be welcome. One of the finestdi-plays in the court would be that otexotic’ timbers. He would like . to securesamples from the Oamaru district if pos-sible. Another line in which they were try-ing to work up interest was links with thena,t in the shape of relics and antiquities.They would be glad to receive loans ofrelics ot early history from this part oftho, district. The exhibits would be properly

unci insured. t The habits olih„ Maoris before and since civilisationwould be illustrated by an exhibit. _ MrSteel expressed a hope that an enthusiasticcommittee would bo formed in Oamaru andthat an exhibit would be provided whichwould take a lot of beating by other partsof the dominion. .

Mr Deal asked whether specimens of

limestone from this district would bo ac-eopUble. that sUch jp^j^enswould be welcomed. .

Mr Deal said there were other mineralsfrom this part which might also be ex-

'steel stated that they would be gladof mineral exhibits of any character.

The Mayor staled that it was obvious fromthe remarks of the. delegates from Dunedinthat tho Exhibition was going to ho thegreatest thing of its kind ever undertakenin the dominion. The control committeeappeared to bo working along the. lineswhich would make the Otago ProvincialCourt a. complete success. The Mayor sug-gested that a committee or representativesfrom the Borough and County Councils andthe Chamber of Commerce be set up,

Mr W. Gardiner (chairman of (ho Wai-taki Council) expressed disappointment attho attendance at. the meeting. Representa-tives of iho manufacturers and of the mer-cantile firms should have been present. Hethought very little wool could be expectedfrom° this district, though the up-countrygrowers might supply exhibits. NorthOtago should provide chiefly cereals andminerals. Representatives of the mercan-tile (inns should be on the committee.

The Mayor stated that the hour for ibismeeting was inconvenient. The attendanceriid not represent tho enthusiasm which ex-isted in the district.

On the motion of Mr W. Gardiner itwa.s decided that the County and BoroughCouncils, the Chamber of Commerce, theAcclimatisation Society, and the mercantilefirms 'bo each requested to appoint threerepresentatives on a committee far North

•Otago, the names of the committee to bo <sent to the secretary of the Chamber of •Commerce. 1

A vote of thanks ■was passed to Messrs JTaverner and Steel. s,In acknowledging the vote Mr Taverner

said it was desired to make theCourt a representation of the development!of the district over a period of 70 years. SIn this connection they would show thoprimitive methods of cooking and cooking-!by electric range. A

This will give overseas women,ample time to get their entries in, as wellas meeting the many requests of intendingexhibitors in the dominion.

BALCLUTHA FATALITY.

THE CORONER’S INQUEST.

SEVERAL WITNESSES EXAMINED.

(Feou Ottb Special RepoetkhJBALCLUTHA, June 26.

The adjourned inquest into the circum-stances of the death of William JamesCochrane, aged 12 years, who died as theresult of an accident at Balolutha on June11, when ho was knocked down by a motorcar driven by a man named Heckler, wascontinued yesterday afternoon before Mril. J. Dixon, S.M. Chief-detective Lewisconducted the case for the police. Thedeceased’s parents were represented by MrR. R. Stewart (Balclutha), and Mr R. M.Rutherford (Milton) was present on behalfof the driver of the car.

Samuel James Douglas, labourer, em-ployed by the Balolutha Borough Council,said that on Thursday, June 11, he wasloading gravel in the river bed about twochains away from the north side of thebridge. About 4 o’clock he saw a motorcar and a dray on the bridge. The draycarried a load of timber, and was going ata walking pace. There was a fair gradeat the approach of the bridge. When-witness first saw the dray and the car'they were about four chains apart, and|both were travelling in the same direction.;The car was going between 10: and, ]2jmiles an hour. Witness then heard some-jone mil out a warning, and, looking up,ho saw the driver of the car put on the;brakes. The speed had been reduced be-ifore this. The car was about six yards!from the dray when witness heard the call.:and the brakes were applied very hard. fWitness saw a boy at the 'back of the dray.,The car was pulled up at the' hack: 1 offthe dray, and witness lost sight Of , the:boy. A young man rained Robertson, was;taking to him, and at witness’s suggestion,he went up to the bridge to see if no;could be of assistance. _ 5

To the Magistrate: Witness did not heartthe hom sounded. ' 'iT t

To Mr Rutherford: Witness did not see*any other children on the bridge. (

Constable Weir gave evidence of theCre-i;suit of an examination of the locality where?the boy was injured. The width of the?bridge varied a good bit, but on account-of loose timber lying on the side the actual',width available to traffic at the scene, oft;the accident was about 12 feet. ■

To Mr Stewart: Several school childrens,were about at that time. |

To Mr Rutherford; There was a foot-bridge for the children to cross over.

Donald David Tosh, a boy aged 12 years,said that on June II he left school5.45 p.rn. with Edward Bezett to gb-ORtHthe bridge on their way heme. "W henthey got on the bridge they saw a loadedcart, which overtook them. Witness; sawthe’lad Willie Cochrane hanging on be-hind the cart, which carried a load ofroofing iron and timber, which was-stick-ing out at the back. The timber wasat each .side of the cart and the iron in

the middle. The timber was sticking out.about two feet and iho iron about a t00t.,:Willie Cochrane was walking against theriron. A motor car came along behindthe dray, but he did not take, much noticeof it Witness was then hanging on tothe timber, and the driver of the cartcalled, “'Look out.” Witness and EddieBezett jumped aside, but Willie Cochranedid not have time to do anything beforethe car ran into him. Willie Cochranewas squeezed between the car_ and theiron, and when he was released he walkedto the side of the bridge and fell down,,The timber of the dray went througa thewindscreen of the motor car. Witnesscould not say at what speed the car wastravelling, but it was going at a fair pace.The car was about five or six yards be-hind the drav when the driver called.‘‘Look out.”

'

Witness did not hear anybrakes applied, nor did he hoar the soundof a horn. 'The car stopped, and ,twomen alighted and took the injured 'boy intothe car and drove away. ■

Edward George Bezett gave evidence ofa corroborative nature.

Hector George Hair, a farm hand, agedIgi years, said that he was the driver ofthe dray. The timber was in 14ft lengths,and there were eight sheets of roofing iron,each of which was eight feet long. Thetimber protruded four feet back and frontof the dray, and the roofing iron was 18mover the back. Willie Cochrane was atthe back of the dray between the timberwith his body in line with the roofingTron.Ho was not conversing with Willie Coen-rane on the bridge, but he had been con-versing with him on the road previously.Two of the coys came to the 'back ofthe cart. He heard a motor horn blow be-hind the dray when he had got about threecr three chains and a-half across the bridge,and he saw a motor car just coming on to .the bridge. Ho kept going in the centre.'and it would have been impossible for any-thing to pass. The boy Cochran® saidsomething to him, and he looked behind tohear what it was. It was then that- hosaw the car about three yards behind theend of the timber. It would be impossiblefor him to tell at what speed the car 1 wasgoing, hut it was moving at a fair raiejfor the bridge, but not fast for the road.Ho saw no evidence of the car pulhrig up.The two boys at the side of the drayjumped out of the way, but Willie Coch-rane had no chance to do anything, andthe oar squashed him against the iron ofthe drav. It just seemed to jump at thepbov. Witness stopped the dray‘a momentafterwards and the boy staggered away andfell down. The men asked if the lioy werehurt, and took him home. Nothing was'

said as to anything having gone wrongwith the car or as to wanting to pass thatway. The men in the car gave everyassistance and took the boy homo.

To Mr Stewart: The timber went throughthe windscreen of the car on the passen-jgens’ side.

Dr J. E. K. Brown (Baloliithal,' whoattended the boy after the accident, gaveevidence of his examination. The patientwas in great pain and in a collapsed con-dition, pulseless, and with every symptomof internal htemorrhage. He was in toocollapsed a condition to he shifted, andwitness did not expect him to live manyhours. Witness saw him ■ later in theevening, and again at 6 in the morning,when he had rallied sufficiently to risk thejourney to the Dunedin Hospital for aserious' operation which would be his onlychance of life. Witness supervised histransportation to Iho early morning train.

James Cochrane, father of the boy, saidthat he learned of the accident on his way,homo. The two men who were in the carwere in Iho house, and witness asked themhow the accident happened. They said,something, but witness could not rememberwhat it was. The men offered to do any-thing they could do to assist. They wereperfectly sober, and there were no signs ofdrink about them.

John Henley James Stevenson (garageproprioior) said that he was the agent inBalclutha for the Ford Motor Company.On Juno 15, at the. request of DetectiveLean, he look a Ford fivc-seator on to theBalclutha traffic bridge. The car was anow model in good condition, and (hebrakes were in good order. He drove thecar at a speed of from eight (o 10 milesan hour at certain parts of the bridge.On the detective giving the word to stophe. pulled up as quickly as he enukl, re-peating this performance twice again. Oneach occasion the brakes acted well. Thecar skidded 25ft. 26ft, and 3tft at ihorespective, trials. The bridge had a woodenfloor and the limber ran lengthways._ Thelimiter was wet, as it had been raining.Had the bridge been dry ho would havebeen able to pull the car up in a shorterdisf unco.

The hearing was then adjourned to Mil-ton at Z o'clock on Monday afternoon. Theevidence of the driver and the passengeris vet to he heard.

THE PORT MELBOURNE.The steamer Port Melbourne left Lyttel-

ton on AA'cdnesday for New Plymouth to dis-charge the remainder of her London cargoand commence Homeward loading. The PortMelbourne is one of the largest, aud finestvessels of the Commonwealth and DominionLine’s fleet, and at the same tinie one ofthe most up-to-date that has • yet visitedNew Zealand ports. AVhile at London mApril last tho vessel was fitted with thoSperry gyro compass and Sprrry gyro pilot.These' remarkable instruaients enable thePort Melbourne to he .steered by mechanismwithout the aid of a helmsman. The onlyoccasion on which a helmsman is requiredis on entering ;i port or in passing throughnarrow channels. The officcis and en-gineers of the vessel speak in the highestterras of its general efficiency. The gyrocompass performs Jive functions. H oper-ates a steering repeater compass; operatesa live bearing repeater compass; it re-couls the ship’s course in actual time; itdirects the gyro pilot—the automatic steeringgear; and in conjunction with the radiodirection finder gives accurate positions.With slight adjustments the compass willo-ivc the same reliable service in roughweather as in fine weather. The gyro pilotis a contrivance controlled by the gyroscopiccompass, anil which operates the ordinarytele-motor gear, so doing away with hardsteering, and enabling very much bettercourses, to be steered. Ibis mechanicalquartermaster is set beside tho wheel. Icingconnected to tho wheel by a sprocket chain.If the ship yaws one-sixth of a degree thogyro compass notifies the pilot with therapidity of electricity, and the chain turnsthe wheel in the right direction. The wholeoperation is instantaneous. If, at any time, itis desired to steer by hand, it is only neces-sary lo push n. small lever with, the foot andtho" gvro pilot is disconnected, and the helms-man can immediately take charge. CaptainF. J. Kearney is in command of tho PortMelbourne.

COMMERCIAL.

Daily Time.') Office, Friday evening.Crop news emanating from tho United

States this season has been of of conflictingnature. Despite advices of rains from timetq time, reports have been “bullish,” andcellmates of yield of w inter wheat have , beenrelatively low. Throughtout this season ithas been apparent that American news hasbeen received in England with a certainamount of reserve, and latterly the Continenthas not been impressed by the “bullish” ad-vices. Crop conditions in Europe are gener-ally satisfactory, and Europe also regardsthe crop outlook in America as bright. It isaccepted that winter-killing of the UnitedStates crops this year has been fairly heavy,it being placed at from 8,000,000 acres to9,000,000 acres, 'but even allowing for thisloss, it is contended in view of satisfactoryrain's over the growing period that recentestimates of yield arc unduly low, It is notforgdten that the official June forecast oftho United States winter crop last yearfor a production of 500,000,000 bushels, bn-later this was raised steadily until it finallyreached 590,000,000 bushels. Russian proapoets also arc much brighter than they wereearly in tho season. Western Russia ha*had good rains, and the winter crops haveimproved in most parts. Spring seedingwas well forward early in May, but lowtemperature at first 'had checked tho growthof the plants.

Since the Calcutta market for cronsacks forseason’s shipment a few' days ago resumed astrong position, importers in Australia havebeen influenced to purchase supplies morefreely (says the Australasias). It is difficultto ascertain tho quantity of cornsacks thathas been bought for commonwealth use forthe coming harvest, but leading traders ex-press the opinion that it is 70,000 to 80,000uales. Merchants in Melbourne predict thatprices this season will he high again, al-though the new jute crop in India may beheavy. While tho price for old crop jntc inCalcutta, which has hovered around £SOa ton, may be largely influenced bylight stocks, the fact that last weekthe quotation for new crop jute, Augustdelivery advanced by £1 7a Od to £42 12s 6da ton cannot bo disregarded. At the corre-sponding date "a year ago raw jntc for Augustdelivery in Calcutta was quoted at about .4.2610s a ton, 30 that tho current price repro.sents an increase of more than £l4 a ton, orabout 50 per cent. To what extent specula-tion may be playing in the market probablyis known only to the “inner circle” at Cal-cutta, but the opinion of a member of oneof the loading firms there, who is now inMelbourne, is that prices this year will bedear. The New' South Wales Ministry, there-fore, mav expect wheatgrowers in that Stateto take advantage again of the bulk-handlingsystem. Whatever patronage may bo ex-tended to it, however, it probably will beconducted at a heavy loss, even if the majorportion of the crop were dealt with in thismanner.

LOCAL MARKETS.There is not a great deal to report regard-

ing tho milling wheat market. The time isnow approaching when Australian wheat willbe imported to New Zealand by tho Govern-ment. It is understood that the first ship-ment will come to Auckland, but the destina-tion of the immediate following shipments :sa little uncertain. Reports from Christ-church state that probably Lyttelton and Bluffwiii follow in turn, but it is thought )n

Dunedin that Bluff will secure the second lot,as Canterbury and Otago millers arc stillholding fair supplies of locally-grown wheat.In view of the importation of Australianwheat local millers are not now suck keenInn-era of the larmcrs’ lot that have beenoffering. Still there cannot be any quantityof milling wheat left in first hands. Anylots that have changed hands, it may headded, have brought higher prices than thosearranged between millers and growers at Wel-lington in April last—namely, 6 S 8d forTuscan, 6a lOd for Hunters, and 7s for Pearl.

The demand for seed wheat is now settingin, and it is apparent that a larger quantityof wheat will be sown this year than last.The increased area to be sown follows onthe arrangement between millers and growersunder which growers arc guaranteed 6s 5dfor Tuscan, 6 for Hunters, and 6s 9d forVelvet for the next season’s crop.

The fowl wheat market is quiet, and mostof the local retailers are fully stocked. Ad-vices from the North Island show that Aus-tralian shipments are being brought in, andthat the Australian market is firmer, withan advance of 3d per bushel. The presentprice for Australian fowl wheat is 5g 9d,f.0.b., s.i., and with duly, freight, etc., itwill cost 8s to land it in New Zealand. _ Itmav be explained that the duty on millingwheat has been removed, but that is

no likelihood oi ihe duty on fowl wheat beingremoved during the next two or three months,as the Government considers there ig suffici-ent fowl wheat in the South Island to meetall demands for some months.

Millers’ prices for flour, under the newarrangement remain unchanged as follow:2001b, £lB 10s; 100’s, £l9 10s; 50’s, £2O 2s 6d;25’s, £29 10s. Bran, £S 10s per ton. Lollard£9 10s. Oatmeal; 25’s. £2B : 200’a, £27.

The oat market is still sagging with littleprompt business passing. The North Islandis still getting its requirements from Can-terbury, and merchants arc mostly securingundergrade lines. The forward position isalso quieter, with sellers not keen to operate.A Gartons have been sold at 4s sd, f.0.b., s.i.,spread delivery, July to September. Mostof the forward business this year has beendone by a few merchants, who have yetto cover their commitments.

Actual oats purchased by merchants arebeing held in stores. 'They are showing noanxiety to sell, as they hope that there maybe an improvement, in the market. Thepresent geneva! quotation for A Cartons forprompt business is 4s Bd, f.0.b., s.i.. with anoccasional cheaper quote.

There arc still several parcels held in thecountry by farmers, who are asking 4s perbushel’, on trucks. In view, however, of theweak position of tbe market merchants arenot operating above 3s 6d, on trucks.

The’ seed market remains firm, with a goondemand from retail merchants for springboxing-

pnODUCE REPORT.The market is veil supplied with consign-

ments oi chaff, and owing to tlie small de-mand sales arc. difficult to effect. Bestquality chaff is worth to-day £5 5s per ton,sacks extra, ex truck, w-hile medium and poorare unsaleable. Stocks of this latter qualityare accumulating in the stores. There doesnot appear to he any chance of shippingbusiness this season, as Auckland merchantshave purchased Tasmanian chaff at £4 10s,f.o.b. si. This is equivalent to £7 12s Gd,ex wharf, Auckland. In order to compelswith this business chaff would have to besold from this, port at 5a 6d, f.0.b., sacksincluded.

Supplies of potatoes are not fio plentiful,but there is no improvement in the market,ns sufficient stocks are being carried in storeto meet the demand. Good quality is worthto-day £1 15s per ton. sacks included, extruck". The quantity held around this dis-trict is still sufficient to kiep merchantssupplied without securing cruwijaiMOts fromCanterbury,

Current local wholesale prices for producelines are as follow:

FRUIT REPORT.The market is now bare of Sydney fruit,

with the exception of lemons. The Karetu,which has been delayed on the coast, isexpected here on Wednesday. She is bring-ing Sydney navels, mandarins, passions,pines, etc.

The Navua arrived from Auckland on Wed-nesday with about 1590 cases of bananas.This "i R the heaviest shipment of bananasreceived here for some time. The shipmentproved rather heavy for the local market forthis period of the year.

Supplies of Island oranges have got intoshort compass, and it will probably be abouta fortnight before any more come to. hand.The, Karetu shipment should meet the localdemands in the meantime.

Sales of apples arc on the slow side,and the majority of the fruit arriving atthe marts is not of first-class quality.

Cauliflowers meet with a good inquiry.Other vegetables have a fair demand only.

Current wholesale prices are as follow: -

CANTEKBURY MARKETS.(P» Uiimat Press Association,!

CHRISTCHURCH, June. 2G.It is understood that the first wheal pur-

chase litis season from Australia, represents500,000 bushels, a good 25 per cenl. of thetotal quantity of importations required tocarry on until next season. The price is

understood to be Cs 5d per bushel, which is

a fair price in view of outside parity.The cats position is complex. Southland

reports are to the effect that A Gartens areselling al up to 4a Bd, f.0.b., s.i., and Is 9dfor super. As yet merchants in Canterburyare freely offering as at 4s Old, with verylittle response. The Southland yield, accord-ing to actual threshing returns, is exception-ally good, being, at (he last statistical re-turn, 43.18 bushels per acre, and, if there isa barrenness of supplies in the south, asrepresented, the question arises where theoats have gone. It Is understood that theshipments are remarkably light. In spite ofthis apparent inconsistency, however, oatsarc keeping firm. In the meantime,Algerians are selling freely for the NorthIsland at 3s 4d to 3s sd, f.0.b., s.i., thedark oats being taken preferably at thisprice to B Gartens at 4a .

Peas are verv dull at 4s to 4s 9d, ontrucks. "White clover is quoted from Is to Is3d, with little doing. Cowgrass is in fairlyfirm demand, good lines being quoted at 9dto lOd a lb. However, there is very littleoffering.

Cocksfoot is also fairly firm at lld lb forstandard seed.

Perennial rye grass is firm at up to 4a 9dfor 37-281 U seed, but there is very littleoffering that will dress this. Most of the(duff is light Italian ryegrass. Sales aredifficult to make, as the market is over-stocked. Quotations are 2s 6d to 3s, ontrucks. The price of £9 to £lO a ton rowruling in Sydney is high for this periodof the year, and as, moreover, the importconditions are not so stringent as first, repre-sented, quicker shipments to the common-wealth are impending.

THE OTAGODAILY TIMES

SATURDAY. JUNE 27, 1925.

THE MIND OF CHINA.What is tlie mind of China? It is aquestion pertinent to ask at the presentjuncture, but exceedingly difficult toanswer satisfactorily. It is estimatedthat the Chinese constitute about aquarter of the entire human race, andduring the last hundred years theyhave, at Tegular intervals, impressedthemselves unpleasantly upon Westernconsciousness. The opium-war of 1840;the Taipiug Rebellion of 1852; theChino-Japanese War of 1894; the BoxerRising of 1900; and the institution ofa Chinese Republic in 1912; all theseevents may be regarded as so manymilestones in the development of theChinese race. Each of them has left itsmark upon the collective mind of China,and with the lessons of the Great Warstill fresh in memory, has helped to pavethe way to the unrest of which the dis-turbances reported from Shanghai, Can-ton, and Peking are but the symptoms.In dealing with a question which callsfor the wisest and most matured state-craft and the use of the calmest diplo-macy, sensational statement such asthat circulated by the Sunday Pictorialare strongly to be deprecated. Alarmistin conception, they tend to create afeeling of fear and to set up in thepublic mind a bogey for which there isbut vague foundation. That there isgrowing in the minds of students ofaffairs an apprehension that a clashbetween East and West is likely toarise, is undeniable; but thoughtfulmen are striving to avert the threaten-ing clash by devising expedients calcu-lated to dispel suspicion and to encour-age racial confidence. With this end inview there have been published suchbooks as Dr Lothrop Stoddard’s “RisingTide of Colour” ; Mr J. H. Oldham’s“Christianity and the. Race Problem,”and Mr Basil Mathew’s ‘The Clash ofColour,” in which the subject has beenapproached from different aspects—reli-gious, humanitarian, sociological, andscientific. In every instance the basicground of alarm is the ever-increasingpopulation of the East contrasted withthe decreasing population of the West.China, therefore, affords a fine field inwhich to study the race question at firsthand; since the best-informed judgesare in agreement that all the world isvitally affected by the development ofChinese affairs, which arc likely to provea decisive factor, for good or evil, with-in the next couple of centuries. How toturii the influences which are makingfor that development into channels ofworld welfare, thereby removing thedread of menace, is the question of thehour.

Mr Bertrand Russell, v.'ho for sometime occupied the position of Professorof Philosophy in the Government Uni-versity of Peking, published two yearsago a book on “The Problem of China,”which, without any necessary adoptionof all his conclusions, may profitablybe studied to-day. Mr Russell holdsthat the questions raised by the presentcondition of China falls naturally intothree groups, economic, political, andcultural, and that of these the culturalquestions are the more important bothfor China and for mankind. Heobserves:—

The culture of China is changing 1rapidly, and undoubtedly rapid changeis needed. The change that has hithertotaken place is traceable ultimately to thomilitary superiority of tho West; but infuture our economic superiority is likelyto bo quite as potent. I believe that, ifthe Chinese are left free to assimilatewhat they want of our civilisation, andto reject what strikes them as bad, theywill be able to achieve an organic growthfrom their own tradition, and to producea very splendid result, combining ourmerits with theirs. There are, however,two opposite danger? to be avoided ifthis is to happen. The first danger isthat they may become completelyWesternised, retaining nothing of whathas hitherto distinguished them, addingmerely one more to the restless, intelli-gent. industrial, and militaristic nationswhich now afflict this unfortunate planet.The second danger is that they may hedriven, in "he course of resistance toforeign aggression, into an intense anti-foreign conservatism as regards every-thing except armaments.It is this anti-foreign feeling which

appears to be at the root of the presentdisturbances which have their seat inthe treaty ports which are scattered allover China; in fact, Shanghai andTientsin are virtually white men’s cities*In these centres of commerce and in-dustrialism the voice of Young Chinais making itself felt. These young men,for the most part under thirty years ofage, have been educated either abroador in modern colleges in their own land,where thev have assimilated Westernideas and among other ideas that ofpatriotism. '‘The danger of patriotism,”says Mr Russell, “is that, as soon as ithas proved strong enough for successfuldefence, it is apt to turn to foreignaggression.”

The fact is apparent that China, withher resources and her population, iscapable of becoming a great worldPower. Organised either for defence orfor aggression, China might assert her-self in the direction of world domina-tion but her weakness consists in herinability to organise. The change fromautocracy tc democracy has been toorecent; China has no strong centralgovernment and the inclinations of herpeople as a v.-hole are hot militaristic.The lack of means of communication and-transport renders mobilisation on agigantic scale impossible, China’s rail-ways are few and her roads hardly meritthe name. It is true that Bolshevikpropaganda has captivated the ears ofthe younger Chinese students, but Bol-shevism. as it has developed in Russia,is peculiarly inapplicable to Chineseconditions. The fact has to he realisedthat while China to-day presents a pic-ture of a State completely disorganised,yet as a society the country is a goingconcern. "Trade is good,” remarks a

competent observer, "and the people arebetter off than some of the nations ofEurope. It is always necessary to takethe long view and to remember that thelife of nearly 400,fMX),000 industriousand peaceful Chinese goes on almostuntouched by the follies of politiciansand rulers.”

THE THIRD PRESS CONFERENCE.Without exaggerating the importanceattaching to the Empire Press Confer-ence which is to meet at Melbourne inSeptember, it may he said unhesitatinglythat the occasion will possess an out-standing interest. The choice of Aus-tralia as the locale of assembly is initself a feature of arresting significance.

It represents not only a compliment tothe newspaper press of the southerndominions, but also a just recognitionof the steady development of Imperialrelationship. The conference will be thethird of the series initiated sixteen yearsago. The first meeting was held atLondon in 1909. The second was de-layed by the overwhelming distractionof the Great War. It took place inCanada in 1920, when the structurewhich had been started so satisfactorilyWas further cemented. From London toOttawa, from Ottawa to Melbourne, is asuitable line of journeying. The fourthconference may meet in Capetown, thefifth or sixth in Wellington—or Dunedin.Looking backwards for a moment, wetaay note that the Empire Press Unionwas formed at the first conference. Thevalue of the work accomplished by thatorganisation during the sixteen years isperhaps not fully realised by the com-munities that have reaped the advantageof its activity. Lord Burnham, presi-dent of the union, will come to histhird conference wearing the prestigeof prolonged service in the cause ofwise Imperialism and-'the interests ofthe Imperial Press. He and his col-leagues from the Homeland will doubt-less have much to teach us, and theymay have a little to learn from a newenvironment. It is not easy for thePress to comment upon itself, so tosay, even in generalising terms. Any-thing approaching to self-praise is in-vidious and embarrassing. But unduemodesty carries the colour of affecta-tion, and every newspaper cherishingImperial ideas (speaking not for itselfbut for the allied journalistic group) isentitled to endorse Mr Amery’s tributeto the signal qualities of the Britishpress. Unquestionably there is a greatcommon tradition tending to impart tothe press of the English-speaking worlda unique standing and an inspiring faithin its mission. “The curious collectionof Governments constituting the BritishEmpire,” said Mr Amery, “is kepttogether, not so much by constitutionalmachinery, as by an idea, the strengthof which lies in looking forward, nofbehind. The British peoples are ani-mated by a great conception of whatthey could do by mutual co-operation,encouragement, and defence, not onlyin regard to the economic welfare ofthe Empire, but the ideals that theyprized so highly.” If there is a shadeof platitude in this remark it is thesort of platitude which never loses itsusefulness. Sir Harry Brittain, whoseservices in behalf of pressn solidarityhave been so consistently valuable, re-ferred to some disappointment respect-ing the attitude of the Home' Treasurytowards the project of reducing cablerates. “It was a little unfortunate thatjust before they went away, when anagreement had apparently been reachedwith the authorities, the Treasury shouldhave put its foot down, and said thatthe,matter should stand over for thepresent. It was not merely a questionof gain to the newspaper, but a reduc-tion in rates would greatly help thosewho were trying to give a fuller serviceof news and comments.” The MelbourneConference may be able to make repre-sentations leading to a. wiser andbroader view.

IN MEMORIAM.The only criticism that can he offeredrespecting the tributes that were paidin the House of Representatives yester-day to the memory of the great per-sonality who was its most commandingfigure during the past twelve years wasthat' it was not necessary that so manyas fourteen members should contributetheir individual meed of respect. Wodo not suggest that some of the laterspeeches were not equal, if not actuallysuperior to some of the earlier in formand in diction. Yet we are disposed tothink that a precedent which might havebeen advantageously followed was thatset when, on the occasion of the expres-sion by the House of its sorrow overthe death of Mr Seddon, half a dozenspeakers were by arrangement selectedto act as the mouthpieces of the wholebody of members. It was an arrange-ment which had at least the virtue thatit prevented a great deal of the repeti-tion that must have marked the flow oftributes yesterday afternoon. TheHouse does not usually rise to the fullheight of the occasion when it is calledupon to express,its sense of loss throughthe removal of those who have beenassociated with its deliberations and itslegislative acts, and the general levelof its oratory compares unfavourablywith that exhibited in the House ofCommons on the rare occasions when,as in the recent case of the death ofLord Ourzon, memorial tributes are re-corded on the minutes of that augustinstitution. My Massey himself wasperhaps heard at his best when it fellto him, as it did many times both asleader of the Opposition and as PrimeMinister, to tender an expression ofhis own regret and of the regret of hisparty oyer the death of a member ofParliament, and no one remains in theHouse who approaches him in the’felicity of the language that was at hiscommand. The references to him yes-terday seem, however, to have been allcharacterised by perfect taste, and theunanimity of the expressions of respectand admiration for him that fell frompolitical friend and political foe alikewill deeply impress the country. It wasto be expected that a great deal ofemphasis would bo placed upon hispassionate love of country, and uponhis staunch Imperialism, but the notethat was apparently struck even morestrongly was that relating to'his per-sonal qualities of honesty, straightfor-wardness, manliness, courage, and, in-corruptibility. ' The House I'jealises thatthrough his death it has been deprivedof a figure of great stature, and of aman who was in every sense a big man.The removal of Mr Massey has, as hasbeen remarked, brought the countryitself to, as it were, a parting of theways. The responsibility is imposedupon the politicians themselves andupon the people of Now Zealand to seethat they do not at this juncture makeany false step -that might have the effectof undoing any of the valuable resultswhich were produced by Mr Massey’sdevoted services in the interests of thedominion and the Empire.

An’offer has been made to Otago Univer-sity by the trustees of the estate of thelate Lassie Rathbone, ofWaikawa, of £3OOO.It is stipulated that the amount is to beused for scholarships of the value of notloss than £SO per annum, to be awardedfor proficiency in English and history. Ohosame offer is being made to_ each of the.other university colleges of Now Zealand,

In amplification of our report, of whatwas said at Thursday night’s meeting ofthe Hospital Board with reference to theresignation of Hr Iverach. who is leaving thedominion in order to fulfil the terms of themedical scholarship which he holds, it maybo added that Dr Newlands, in bearing tes-timony to the quality of Dr Iverach’s work,stated" that he was the travelling scholar—-the best man of his year in medicine. Allthe medical men who went into the Hos-pital had found Dr Iverach courteous, help-ful, and obliging. Dr Newlands said inconclusion that he was sure that no oneregretted more than the members of theboard that Dr Iverach had not quite ful-filled his duties. He thought that it shouldbe publicly stated. TheChairman : “It wasonly on the one occasion.” Dr Newlands;“The sole occasion.” Mr Hancock saidhe was sure that every member ofthe board wished Dr Iverach every success.

Dunedin artists who looked forward tobeing represented at the Auckland ArtSociety’s annual exhibition have suffereddisappointment, and another illustration isprovided of the difficulty of securing ex-peditious coastal transport for goods. TheAuckland Society’s exhibition opened ohJune 10, and pictures were required to boto hand by May 21. The local agent forthe Dunedin artists duly, packed a con-siderable consignment of pictures intendedfor Auckland, and entrusted it to a localcarrying firm on May 8. The said firmmanaged to get the cases away by May22—apparently that was the earliest dateat which a steamer was available.Meandering up the coast the Dunedin pic-tures eventually reached the AucklandSociety on June 6, hopelessly late for ex-hibition purposes. Had the Dunedincarrying firm acquainted the ArtSociety’s agent here about the delay inshipment from this port, the futile pro-cedure of despatching the pictures on thedate on which they were actually shippedaway would at least have been avoided.If the Dunedin pictures had reached Auck-land in time for exhibition the AucklandArt Society would have paid the freightin accordance with a reciprocal arrange-ment between the societies in the fourcentres. As things are the freight onthis luckless and errant consignment is pay-able at this end.

The work in connection with the Educa-tion Court of the Exhibition has now beenadvanced to such a stage that the execu-tive has decided to call for the servicesof an organiser. An area 163ft x 160ft hasnow been allocated to the court in thonorth-eastern portion of .the motor pavilionwith covered way approaches from the Gov-ernment pavilion and No. 4 building. Nowthat the court has a definite homo thoexecutive intends to push ahead with itsplans and endeavour to make the court anoutstanding feature of tho Exhibition.

A/ battered and weather-worn coal hulkwas being warped from ones wharf toanother at Dunedin the other day. Shewas the shell of a sailing ship of earlierdays, and a veil-known sea captain stoodon tho poop directing the linesmen. Anacquaintance drifted along, and could notresist the temptation of good-naturedbanter. The big man. on the hulk’s poopappeared to be in his element, and a broadsmile spread over his face when he caughtsight of the fellow on tho wharf. “Liketho old days, eh, captain?” was tho greet-ing from tho longshoreman. The captain’sface was wreathed in smiles at this saluta-tion. “Take in the slack of the port bowline, and ease away tho after springs,” calledthe man from the wharf. Like a flashthe captain whirled, and his face wasominuously clouded when ho shouted backover tho smooth waters: “You go to !”

The man on the wharf lost no time indrifting.

While digging on his property at thoupper end of Beach street, Waikouaiti,recently, a resident dug up a* small pursecontaining a gold ring. It is interestingto recall that 50 years ago, while diggingon tho same spot, a former resident dugup a gold ring, 15 sovereigns, and over £2worth of silver, including five-shilling pieces,fourpenny pieces, shillings, and sixpences.Apparently the ring was buried at thosame time as tho money.

The question of nurses handling D.T.cases came before the Wellington HospitalBoard on Thursday. The medical superin-tendent (Dr Wilson) said that nurses hadto handle such cases, washing and attend-ing to them in tho ordinary way. Theywere not considered objectionable. Muchworse cases had to be dealt with than thoaverage D.T. case. A male attendant wasalways at hand in case of violence. Someold people who neglected themselves weremore objectionable to handle than D.T.’s.Only 10 of tho latter had been in tho hos-pital during tho past year. Male venerealcases were not handled by nurses.

Replying to a deputation from Pahiatua,which asked for the erection of a now PostOffice in that town, the Hon. Sir JamesParr (Postmaster-general) declared (reportsthe Wellington Post) that he was going tofollow the policy laid down by his pre-decessor, the Hon. J. (1. Coates—namely,that the Post and Telegraph Departmentimust be run on a business basis, and payinterest on the capital expended. “Thatwas tiovor done before,’’ said Sir James,“and it is to the credit of Mr Coates thathe ha.s initiated a businesslike arrange-ment under which the Post Office must findinterest on the capital expended.” Therewas no other course to follow if the financesof the country were to bo prudently,sanely, and safely conducted, and thatpolicy would be continued by him while howas Potmaster-gcnoral. Ho would notdeviate from it in the slightest. Thatbeing the case it was obvious that theycould not rebuild all the old post officesin one year. Regarding the Pahiatua re-quest, Sir James Parr said it was not themost urgent on the list, and ho was notprepared to say that ho could givo it atten-tion before 1927. Immediate inquiries,however, would be made on the question ofa sife. He would also be glad if the headof the department would reassure him asto the conditions in the present building,the deputation having assorted that theywere unhealthy, which allegation was deniedby Mr Markman.

“Having regard to the temperature thismorning, I would bo very sorry to interferewith the supply of coal,” remarked MrJustice Alpers at tho Supreme Court at

Nelson the other morning, when excusing,a common juryman employed in a wood gridcoal- yard from attendance. In supportof the application, it was stated that severalof the staff from the same firm were serv-ing on either the common or tho grandjury. A dairyman was also excused.

“There is one other point on which Iwould like to touch, and that is that thotime is fast approaching when the com-mercial community must sit up and callmore attention to tho multitude of socialquacks who are growing up in our midst,”said Mr Fraser, at a meeting of the Tara-naki Chamber of Commerce. Some socialquacks wore the proposers of sovereignremedies for tho ills of tho world, andthey were found, ho, said, on dairy factories’directorates, in tho factories, in the harvestfields, on the wharf, in Parliament head-ing deputations for tho protection of sornodead or dying industry, and perhaps evenin tho Cabinet itself. They reminded himof the old patent medicine vendors at streetcorners with a pill for every ill. Theywere continually calling on the people tocome and be tied up so that they might booperated on even for troubles that thopeople were not aware wore afflictingthem.

CHAOS IN CHINA

THE FIRING AT CANTON-

ASSESSING THE RESPONSIBILITY

FIRST SHOTS FROM CHINESE.

Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.HONGKONG, June 25.

The Civil Governor of Canton, in a Noteto the British Consul-General, states, interalia, in reference to the procession in Can-ton, that when the procession had almostentirely passed Shake street soldiers andpolice in the British concession suddenlyopened fire with machine-guns and rifleson the crowds in the procession on theother side of the canal, . whereupon thesoldiers and police in the French Conces-sion likewise fired, while the Portuguesegunboat fired her big guns, killing andwounding over 100 people. This brutalkilling was premeditated and secretlyplanned. When he (the Civil Governor)heard the particulars he was amazed, andwas in duty bound to enter a most seriousprotest, as well as to state clearly thatthe entire, responsibility fop the affairrested upon the civil and military’officers,the British, French, and Portuguesesoldiers and police, and the gunboat con-cerned.

The British Consul-General, in reply,points out that the Portuguese gunboattook no pari. It wits the defence forcesof the concessions alone that replied tothe attack made on them by the Chineseon the other side of the canal. The Noteadds: lT am say from the evidence ofmy own eyes that the firing was firststarted by the Chinese.” The Note fur-ther states that the Consul-General andthe senior naval officer were present forthe purpose of preventing any precipitateaction on the pari of the defenders, andlie and the naval officer barely escapedwith their lives from the- hail of bulletsdirected at them by the Chinese. It wasonly then, in self-defence, that fire wasopened from the Shameen and by theFrench forces which were similarlyattacked.

Ho repudiates the charge that the re-sponsibility rests with the foreigners, andasks the Civil Governor to take completemeasures to safeguard the lives of Bri-tishers around Canton.—Reuter.

1 CANTON, June 25.An eye-witness of Tuesday’s disturb-

ance says : “Even little boys in the pro-cession jumped about like Dervishes, draw-ing their hands across their throats andbodies, indicating what they would dowith ns, and shouting in English andFrench, “Kill the foreigners.” As theprocession passed the French Concession,which was w'cll guarded, and arrivedopposite the English Concession, wherethere was little sign of preparedness, some-one in the crowd fired two shots. Thesoldiers immediately opened tiro, whichwas thereupon returned.”

One Shameen official states that theactual attack was made by Whampoastudents, led by Russian Bolshevists. I ol-idwing thorn wore 3000 soldiers disguisedas Yunnanose labourers. Almost, immedi-ately 20 carefully-concealed machine-gunsopened fire upon the mob, hammeringat the gates of Shameen, decimating themas they came forward. The moh reeled,then fell back in confusion, exposing theinnocent spectators behind them for a timeto the terrific fire which had been con-centrated upon the actual attackere. Afterthis the firing censed, hut sniping con-tinued for some time, then suddenly itstopped.

The evidence from all quarters is thatit was not a peaceful procession, but athoroughly organised military attack.—Sydney Sun Cable.

FRENCH MINISTER’S NOTE.AN EMPHATIC PROTEST.

The Note adds that the report from thecommandant of the French naval forcesmakes it clear that the responsibility fallsentirely on the Chinese. Ho (the Minister)is consequently compelled to protest andreserve the right for the French Govern-ment to demand reparation.—Reuter.

AUTHORITIES FAIL TO ACT.

PEKING, June 25.(Received June 26, at 5.5 p.m.)

THE CRUISER BRISBANE.PARTICIPATION IN OPERATIONS.

AUSTRALLAN LABOUR RESENTFUL.

MELBOURNE, June 26.(Received Juno 26, at 9 p.m.)

In the Federal House Air J. Brennan(Labour) protested against the warshipBrisbane being employed as part of aBritish squadron against the Chinese in awar which is primarily industrial. Aserious aspect was that the Ministry hadallowed the Brisbane to ho transferred toparticipate in belligerent operations with-out informing Parliament. The LabourParty had always refused the army ornavy to be used in industrial disputes inAustralia, and it certainly would not allowthem to bo used in foreign waters to fightagainst tlie Chinese proletariat, which re-presented the great Chinese Republic aswell, in its awakening. The. Labour Partyhad; the deepest sympathy for the peopleof China.

Atr M. Charlton, supporting Air Bren-nan, said that the Australian Navy hadbeen created for defending Australia andnot for interfering in the internal affairsof another nation. If the British Govern-ment was responsible for the Brisbanegoing to Chinese waters Australians shouldask for her immediate withdrawal.

Air Bruce replied that the Brisbane hadbeen sent' under an exchange arrangementwith the British Government to secure hertraining. It was conceivable that thesquadron had gone to the disturbed areato safeguard the lives of British subjects.

ULTIMATUM TO PRESIDENT.GOVERNMENT RESIGNS.

HEADERS OF REVOLT IN NEWCABINET.

LONDON, June 25.(Received June 26, at 5.6 p.m.)

Reports from Athens state that Greeceis experiencing her seventh revolution in26 years.

Soldiers and naval forces under theleadership of General Pangalos andAdmiral Hadjikyriakoa seized the publicbuildings and secured the resignation ofthe Miclialacopoulos Government, declar-ing their determination to end the mal-administration and reform the finances.General Pangalos is a well-known fire-eater. He has been Generalissimo andWar Minister, but he failed, to establishhimself as Republican dictator in 1923.

Tlie armed followers of General Pangalosoccupied the Post Office and Ministries at5 o’clock this morning after a fusiladeof blank cartridges. General Pangalossent an ultimatum to President Condouri-otis, who held a conference, with the Gov-ernment. M. Miohalacopoulos resigned at11, and by 1 o’clock the President hadentrusted to 31. Papanastassiou the forma-tion of a now Cabinet.

The Daily Express’s Athens correspon-dent states that General Pangalos re-fused to consider a Coalition Cabinet, butapproved of the formation- of a Cabinetunder M. Papanastassiou, the Republicanloader, General Pangalos becoming WarMinister and Admiral Hadjikyriakos NavalMinister. Athens is now divided in- twohostile camps, and the city appears tohe under a reign of terror, but so farthe revolution has been bloodless. Onlya few shots were fired in deserted busi-ness quarters. General Pangalos in hisultimatum says: “The National Assemblyis incapable of meeting the situation. TheGovernment lias lost the support of thearmy and navy as only a few detachmentsof the Athens garrison remain to sup-port it. The Republicans will hold theGovernment and its supporters responsibleif a drop of blood is shed.”

The Daily Express adds that AdmiralTownsend and three naval officers form-ing a British Naval Mission (which re-cently went to Athens in an advisorycapacity) are being recalled, their rela-tions with the commander of the Greeknavy having become strained.—A. andN.Z. Cable.

Greece became a Republic in March o‘last year, with Admiral Paul Coundouri-otis as President. The MiclialacopoulosMinistry, which took office on October 7last. year, has withstood several previousattempts to remove it from office by force.

The Paris correspondent of The Timfessays: “Coincident with despatches fj’omMoscow stating that the Soviet leadersare disgruntled' at the poor results whichM. Krassin has hitherto obtained in hisnegotiations with France, comesof a marked stiffening in the FrenchGovernment’s attitude towards Russia,which is mainly attributable to the recentgrowth of' Moscow-directed Communistpropaganda, especially in regard toMorocco. The news declares that whereasduring the Herriot regime the suggestionthat there should be a united Allied policytowards the Soviet was treated with scorn,there is now evidence that the PainleveCabinet intends to consult more closelycommon Franco-British interests, whichare considered to be equally threatened.—The Times.

A copyright wireless message from theHeimdal, at Spitzbergen, states that ex-tracts from the diary of Lieutenant Diet-richsen, the pilot of the second plane(N24), completes Captain Amundsen’sstory of the Polar dash. The diarystates :

:■ “We were astonished at the extent andsize of the pack ice when we began todescend, as everything had seemed betterfrom above. Immediately we saw the con-ditions we realised that it would be ex-ceedingly difficult to return, as the icewas continually moving.

"We saw where N25 had landed, sowe waited to see if it rose again, as wedared not leave our own plane, whichwas leaking seriously, and Omdal was rcpairing the jammed, exhaust pipe.

“Throughout the night Ellsworth andI were kept busy pumping, but at noonon May 23 we saw' a flag flying twomiles away, which raised our spirits.

“In the evening we communicated bymeans of flags, and learnt that N25 wasfrozen in 20 metres from the ice lane.

“Wo then tried to raise N24 on to theice flow, in order to avoid the tiring taskof pumping, as the leakage was increas-ing We succeeded in raising the plane onMay 25, when Ellsworth and I tried toreach N 25, but wo turned back after aseven hours’ march, realising that it wapnow possible. We were very exhausted.

“Finally we reached N25 on May 26.During the crossing and I weresaved from drowning by a prompt rescueby Ellsworth. He is a sport.

“N25 is now moored in a small bay atSpitzbergen, and is quite capable offuture flights.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.

' NOTED CRIMINAL ADVO-CATE.

Fieri Association—By Telegraph—Copyright,LONDON, June 25.

! “The court is satisfied that you, as...an experienced solicitor of the HighCourt for years, have associated your-self with a gang of daring and clanger-our thieves and mail bag robbers,’ 1 saidMr Justice Salter at the Old Bailey,in sentencing to three years' imprison-ment Charles Sharman, 75 years of ago,a.' well-known London solicitor, whoplfeadcd guilty to conspiring to steal andreceive mail bags’ contents and to forgery.

“Mr Justice Salter, continuing, said;' “The robbers acquired a mass, of valuable

securities, which would have been oflittle use without your assistance in dis-posing of the booty. You sold them allover Europe and America under falsenames, not hesitating at forgery whennecessary. I am told that you have beencontinuously and heavily blackmailed;but thieves often blackmail one another.”

It was urged in mitigation that theaccused was largely responsible for therecovery of £90,000 worth of bonds fromAntwerp.

The Daily Express says that Sharmanhad one of the largest practices ofcriminal eases in London. He was solici-tor for the defence in many notable trials.He was a prominent churchman, and anoffice-bearer of many local bodies. It is

- believed that Sharman received over£20,000 as his share of the thefts,which commenced in 1921. The actualValue of the securities stolen amountedto hundreds of thousands of poundsbut many were unrealizable. . Duringthe early investigations Sharman visitedthe Post Office authorities, and told themthat he had learned that a foreigner, whowas his exact double, was cashing stolensecurities on the. Continent, He wascordially thanked for his information, andno breath of suspicion rested on him.—A.and N.Z. Cable.

: Mr Rruee on Tuesday next with a view

’ to solving the shipping dispute.

' WILL OTHER UNIONS JOIN?

, RESTRAINING POWER OF COURT.E "Unionists could not very well look ou

while such tactics were adopted by the• employers, and it will not be very long

i before other unions are dragged into the5 fight,” declared an official of one of the' maritime unions in Melbourne last week,

i It was stated, however, that should other1 unions intervene, it was regarded as prob-

I able that the employers would appeal toJ the Arbitration Court to restrain them

' from interfering on behalf of the Seamen sI Union. In that case, the members of

i other unions would be risking the prob-> able deregistration of their own. orgamsa-i tions by lending any assistance to the sea--3 men. In the past, too, some of the other

1 waterfront unions have open. hostility to the seamen, and it is not

likely that they would sacrifice theirawards by presenting a united labourfront to the shipowners.

It is known (says the Melbourne Argus)that some of the maritime unions inMelbourne are perturbed at the prospectof the seamen calling upon all transportorganisations to assist them. Every effort,however, is being made to prevent mem-hoi's from being drawn into the dispute.Officials asserted that even if other union-ists became involved, such interventionwould be confined to the smallest possiblelimits. Members of the Wharf Labourers’Union declared that they would adhere

1 to their decision not to take steam fromother than a donkeyman who was a mem-ber of the Seamen’s Union. Should such

THE SECURITY PACT

LONDON JOURNAL’S VIEW.

DISMEMBERMENT OFEMPIRE.

Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright.LONDON, June 25.

The Daily Express, in, an editorialon Mr Austen Chamberlain's_ speech, saysthat it reveals the marked fact that thedominions will be allowed to contract outof tho pact. With or without the co-operation. of tlie dominions, the Govern-ment intends to put Britain’s signature toa treaty of death. Mr Chamberlain is thelirst Foreign .Secretary to admit diplo-matic disunity as a, principle in Imperialpolicy. He will go advisedly into Europethough he knows that the Empire neverwill. His view is, that, though i'ranceand Britain may be involved in a warwith Germany, or Germany and Britaininvolved in a war -with France, neitherCanada, Australia, India, New Zealand,nor South Africa may be, at war withanyone. It is only necessary to state theposition to see its inherent absurdity. IfMr Chamberlain’s policy triumphs theEmpire as a political, constitutional, andmilitary entity will come theoretically toan end.—A. and N.Z. Cable.

GERMAN OPINION.NO ENTHUSIASM EVINCED.

BERLIN, June 25.(Received June 26, at 10.30 p.m.)

The Tageblatt is disappointed at thevagueness of Mr Chamberlain’s speech inthe House of Commons, and expresses the.opinion that the French reply to the 'German offer merely denotes a pact againstGermany, while according to Mr Cham-berlain

‘ Article XVI of the LeagueCovenant remains in force although it isan insurmountable obstacle to Germany’sentry into the League.

Dr Stresemann’s organ Die Zeit alsoemphasises tho view that Germany can-not entertain negotiations regarding thepact if the right to send troops acrossGermany is insisted on, but it believesthat there is still a great, difference ofopinion between Paris and London in tins•regard. .

Tho Nationalist paper, the Boersen Zei-tung, says that tho speech did not takeaccount of Germany’s _ greatest neod—-namely, a reasonable revision of the PeaceTreaty.—A. and N.Z. Cable.

THE LATE MR MASSEY

TRIBUTES IN PARLIAMENT

STATESMAN AND IMPERIALIST.

AN UNBLEMISHED RECORD.

(Per United Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, June 26.Tributes to the memory of the late Mr

Massey were made at this afternoon’s sit-ting of the House of Representatives bytho Prime Minister and several members.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICES.At the close of tho formal business the

prime Minister rose and moved—“Thatthis House desires to place on record itshigh sense of the devoted and distinguishedservices rendered to New Zealand and tothe Empire by the late Prime Minister,tue Right Honourable William FergusonMassey. P.C., LL.U., and of the groat lossthe donlinion has sustained by his death,

and respectfully tenders to Mrs Massey andher family the assurance of its sincere sym-pathy with them in their bereavement.

In asking tho House to agree to themotion, ho briefly sketched the early careerof the late Prime Munster before and afterhis arrival in the dominion. Ho referred tohis political development through themedium of local bodies, ana finally to his

entry into Parliament, where ho becamenot only Prime Minister, but a statesman orImperial standing. Continuing, Mr Coatessaid- “In Mr Masseys death the dominionof Now Zealand has lost its most honouredstatesman, and the Empire one of its mostdevoted sons. Each of us v.-ill bear in

Crateful me.mcjry bis manly, straighiward, unselfish course of conduct in publiclife, and Iris contempt for mean practicesand devious ways. His career, if it refloatsanything at all, gives _ an annihilating

ansuci to those tneky-mmdod people "t"1

the demoralising gospel that wdinoss andartifice are the soundest passports to Pfmlicconfidence. From the day ho entered Par-liament till he died, no suspicion of be-trayal of public interest ever attached toh name. Ho leaves behind him an un-blemished. record as a plain, nmple man.who saw his duty clearly, and did it teai-lesslv. Ho was as fre0 from exultation msuccess as he had been undaunted bv ad-versity, and so he gained and kept to. theend the complete trust and confidence of allhis followers. He had a firm m &odand in the British Empire, and was anImperialist through and through. In thotime of the Empire's greatest danger hehad those invaluable qualities of fixed andimmovable principles and unshakable clefiliation R> see the tremble through, and

an iron will. He believed Hint itmore vital for the Empire to be one than

■for the dominions to ho independemnations, and he said so at a timerrttn *

required courage to say it. - The Empin

will long cherish his memory, and w.miss his rock-like firmness and faith InParliament we shall always remember out

personal association with the cheerfulhappy, unassuming bfe of that greatUiudlv man, a i-“Tlidt friend to his friendsand without malice against his opponents.Among thousands of messages received ontho occasion of his demise may I pla« onrecord that which came from the PrimeMinister of Great Britain, Mr Stanlej

Baldwin;‘As Prime Minister Mr Massey guided

the destinies of New Zealand through 1.most troublous and critical years. Of

his groat service in fostering the growthand expansion of the dominion others aremove qualified than I to speak, but thosewho, like myself, have had the oppor-tunity and privilege of watching hiswork for the Empire, know how much

we all have owed in these momentousvears to his whole-hearted care for itshonour, safety, and well-being. Megratefully remember his fortitude in

every crisis of the war, his determina-tion that‘New Zealand should play aivirt worthy of her destiny in helping thecense of the Allies, his own unsparing

efforts in that cause ami the .successwhich they achieved at tho Imperial WarCabinet of 11)17 and 1011. At the PansPeace Conference he rendered conspicu-ous service. and' ’successive ImperialConferences since that time have profited

bv liis wide, human sympathy, his ripe

experience in affairs, and his sagacity incounsel. Mr Massey’s death will not bea loss to New Zealand only, the wholeEmpire will mourn him to-day both as aman and as a statesman, and many ofus here will long cherish the memory of amost genuine and lovable personality.

“This is neither the time nor the placeto attempt to review the splendid recordof Mr Massey’s public service. V.c may

have no misgivings that an historian of

tße* future will assign to our late departedleader the true appraisement of the magni-

ficent work performed by him during thestressful years of his premiership. Hiscourageous and virile leadership of thedominion throughout the critical days ofMie Great War, his callable handling ofinauv difficult problems »f the post-warperiod, and innumerable examples ofhumanitarian and social legislation whichour Statute Book so eloquently bears tes-timony to, will all stand ns monuments totue manliness and the human side of thisgreat man's nature. As a parliamentarianbe was probably unequalled in our time•ui-J his death has left a gap in our officiallife that will be hard to fill. Let us lookfor inspiration in tiie performance of ournubile duty to the high and lofty priueiplcs that over actuated him who has gone,and may they always serve as a guide for(lie clean, honest conduct of our publicaffairs. We who to-day feel his, loss soacutely extend to his bereaved widow andfamily, who are suffering a. heavier per-sonal’grief, our heartfelt sympathy in theirsorrow. His virtues were all well de-scribed by a poet in the following lines

“ ‘A man whom the lust of office didnot kill.

~

A man whom the spoils of office coordnot buy. .... , ■„A man possessed of opinions and a will.

A man who had honour and would not

A big man, son-crowned, who livedabove the fog. .

In public duty and m private think-ing.”

MR WILFORD’S TRIBUTE.Mr Wilford, in seconding the motion,

said that during the 25 years in which Jiesat in tho House in opposition to MrMassey, he had many opportunities ofbearing out what, the Prime Minister hadsaid. In moving a motion on the dayafter Mr Massey’s death he (Mr Wilford)had written his tribute to the late loaderof the Government, which had boon pub-lished by most, of the papers throughoutthe- dominion, and ho felt ho could donothing better on this occasion than againplace on record what he then wrote, as hacould add nothing to it now.

LABOUR’S SYMPATHY.Mr Holland, in supporting the' motion,

said he wished to join with tho PrimeMinister and the Leader of the Oppositionin extending to tho relatives of the latePrime Minister his personal sympathy andthat of tho party of which ho was leader,and ho wished to repeat what he said inhis telegram to Sir Francis Bell at thetime of Mr Massey’s death, and again toemphasise tho fact that once the lace PrimeMinister had given his word there wasnever any departure from it. Although howas always an uncompromising opponentof what Labour stood for, and althoughpolitically they were as wide as polesasunder, they had reached that stage in Ithe conduct of parliamentary business whenthey could rely on the word of Mr Masseyabsolutely, and for that groat virtue theyvalued him. “Time, like an ever-rollingstone,” said Mr Holland, “bears all itssons away,” and, standing as it were at idsopen grave, they wished to join with allother sections of the community 'in extend-ing to the relatives of the late Mr Masseytheir heartfelt sympathy with them in thehour of their affliction.

A FEARLESS POLITICIAN.The lion. Mr Nosworthy, in tho course

of a brief eulogium of Mr Massey, saidthat that, gentleman had come into Parlia-ment with dean hands and he had goneout of it with dean hands. Ho was tear-less in the discharge of his duties, and fol-lowed the cause of simple honesty, so thatno one could suggest, that corruption cameinto his conduct of public affairs. His un-failing optimism during the dark days ofthe Great War cud during the commercialshunt) which followed was an inspirationto all. His faith in his God was unshaken,while his Imperial statesmanship wasdirected to building up and binding to-g'-iher ihe Empire. >n that no moth or ruff•MU Id enter into and no enemy breakI'li-omrl; and de-iroy it. It would he diffi-

to find anyone adequately to fdl thev.-id which his death caused, but it wasiheir duly to follow in his steps'and aspire

A CLOSE CALL.

FLORA REACHES PORT.

EXCELLENT SEAMANSHIP.

FINE WORK BY CREW.

{Per United Preps Association.)

AUCKLAND, June 2G.The Flora returned to port at 4 o'clock

this morning under her own steam, having(alien 12 hours from Great Mercury Islam!.The breakdown was duo to a broken pinin the crank shaft. Repairs, which heldfor a few minutes at a time, enabled herto get shelter at Mercury Island, whoremore lasting repairs were effected bydrilling a hole.

She got away just in time to avoid thedanger of going ashore, as the wind sud-denly chopped round, and, blowing very,hard, placed her on a lee shore.

She saw neither the Te Awhina nor theKomona, -which are still searching.

During the Flora’s drift, and right barkto port the liremen kept their usualwatches. The engineers were on duty allthe time, as on the engines alone the safelyOf the vessel depended. The trouble wasduo to the pin in the shaft being loose.It slipped out gradually. Catching on thepiston, and interfering with the whole en-gine. While the storm raged the en-gineers kept knocking the projecting por-tions of the pin as they appeared. Thiswas responsible for the spasmodic workingof the engine.

“We had a devil of a time down below,said one of the engine room staff, “but wetook things calmly. Steam was kept upall the time, and the engineers have beengoing strong evCr since the trouble began.

A tribute to the men below was paid bythe captain, who said that they performedtheir hazardous duties in a wonderful man-ner.

The sole passenger on the Flora..said thatbefore there was any sign of engine troublehis cabin in the poop was flooded, and belay in his bunk fully clothed. At 11o’clock in the morning the ship’s officersinformed him of the Flora’s dangerousplight. He kept ready to go on deck if itwere found necessary to abandon the ship.

He says: “You can’t imagine what thegale was like. If we had once touchedshore that would have been the end. Asit Vy-as it was a very close call. At onestage off Cape Colville we were so closein that the worst was feared. Never be-fore have I experienced such a howling galeand such heavy seas, and wind and ram.Wo owe our safety to Captain Gray. Itwas his excellent seamanship that savedUS ”

Captain Gray says that soon after mid-night the Flora’s plight became serious..Although she was riding the seas well, shewas perilously near the coast all the time,and was in danger of being wrecked.Before daylight she reached a position paslof Cape Colville, but, an attempt to weatheiit was impossible, and at daylight she haobattled towards Cuvier Light again, and hedecided to rim before the storm for GreatMercury Island The engines were work-ing occasionally, and with the gale, behindher better progress was made to a shelteredposition off West Bay.

When the vessel's plight became soserious at midnight, as previously men-tioned, all hands, except the engineeringstaff, were ordered to stand by the boats,which were provisioned and prepared forlaunching. Some of the crew actually puton lifebelts. It -was pitch black, with ahurricane wind blowing and heavy rainfalling, and it is doubtful if the ship'sboats could have survived had they beenlaunched.

It was thought that when the Florareached shelter at Mercury Island she wadsale, at least from the elements, and "thattemporary repairs would be effected withsome sense of security. This hope wasrather short-lived, for after three hoursthe wind made a disquieting change, andcommenced to blow with a force evengreater than in the northerly previouslyendured. By 3 o’clock the vessel s security

was threatened, but fortunately all wasr©ctdy down below for -tho venture back toport! When the anchor came up the shiphad to fight its way out of the bay,and was again in the thick of the storm.

Prior to this the Richardson steamerAwahou, which had been sheltering in thebay, and the Mako, which arrived later,had cleared out, though a scow -remainedwith every prospect of being driven on thebeach. . .

.. ,

Out in tho gale again it was realisedthat with tho change in tho wind the seahad been beaten to even greater fury, butthere was now a measure of security evenwith the slow running of the engines.

There was another trying run up to theCape, made all the more so by a halt toeffect repairs to one of the cylinders. IneCapp, was rounded, and about .1 o clock theFlora was reported from Tiri Lighthouse.She eventually dropped anchor m the har-bour at 3.55 this morning.

UNIVERSITY COMMISSION.

FURTHER EVIDENCE HEARD

NIGHT LECTURES DEPRECATED.

(Per United Press Association.)WELLINGTON, June 26.

The University Commission continued itssittings 10-day.

Mr J. H. Howell, director of WellingtonTechnical College, gave evidence that, whiledeprecating night lectures, 1 ho was ofopinion (hat in certain faculties, such as,arts, law, commerce, and music, provisionshould be made for private students whocould not obtain a full-time Universitytraining to obtain degrees. It was sug-gested. therefore, that the University ofNew Zealand as at present constituted, withcertain modifications, be responsible for theexamination and granting of degrees to ex-ternal candidates. No candidate under 24years of age should be eligible for an ex-ternal degree. The fixing of such a limitwould act as an encouragement to tho full-time course, and prevent cramming.

Mr R. M. Campbell, on behalf of theVictoria University College Students’ Asso-ciation, urged the right to elect a repre-sentative on the governing body of the col-lege or of tho local University if suchshould be recommended. .Representationwould quicken students’ interest in thewider questions of University education,while the corporate life of the Universitywas not less valuable than the academicside.

Mr H. M. Cormich, making similar re-presentations, urged tho value of a widerUniversity life. At presenj there was noopportunity for corporate life in a collegeor to develop the college spirit. Studentsmerely attended to pass an examination,largely for commercial reasons. The mem-bership of the “intellectual” clubs of Vic-toria College was not more than 25, thoughthe total number of students was nearly

SCO. Tho provision of hostels would im-prove the position.

OTHER TRIBUTES.Mr Sidey, in supporting what the pre-

vious speakers had said, referred to MrMassey’s lengthy political services, his earlybattles as Leader of the Opposition, andhis subsequent attainment of the PrimeMinitcrship. It was well known that mem-bers did not carry their political differencesbeyond the Chamber, and no one was moreliberal in the application of this principletitan Mr Massey. His great breadth ofmind was well illustrated by the widesympathy he showed in moving or second-ing sim.lar motions to that now before thoHouse during the 22 years in which he,was either Prime Minister or Leader ofthe Opposition.

The following members also paid theirtribute to the memory of , the deceasedPrime Minister:—Sir John Luke, MessrsRuddo, Harris, Atmoro, Sykes, N ata,Wright, Isitl, and M’Leunan.

The motion was agreed to.Similar motions were agreed to in con-

nection with the deaths of the late Hon.Oliver Sam.ucl, the Hon. J. Grimmond,Edward Wakefield, and Aparima ' ”apa(Northern Maori District), and or thomotion of tho Prime Minister (he isorose at 5 p.m. (ill 7.30 p.m. on asa mark of respect to the memories U hodeceased members.

SPORTSMEN’S DINNER.

SELLING LIQUOR ALTERHOURS.

LICENSEE BEFORE COURT.

i'Peb United Bbess Association.JAUCKLAND, Juno 26.

An ••item” which did not appear on themenu of tho Auckland sportsmen's dinnerat tho Hotel Cargen on tho evening ofJuno 4 was “served” in the Police Courttiiis morning, when the licensee of thehotel appeared to answer charges of sellingliquor alter hours and also of allowingliquor to bo consumed on tho promises.Mr 0. P. Finlay appeared for defendant,Robert Chcsney' who pleaded guilty toboth charges.

Sub-inspector Rawle said tho prosecutionwas the result of a dinner held under theauspices of the Auckland Sportsmen’s Asso-ciation at tho Hotel Cargen on the nightof Juno 4- last between the hours of 7 p.m.and midnight, each guest being admitted'by ticket costing £2 Ss. On June 3 appli-cation was made to the Licensing Com-mittee under section 164 of “The LicensingAct, 1908,” to have the dining room setapart for the function, but this was notgranted. 'lt would be proved that thedinner was hold, that 67 guests partici-pated, that whisky was being consumed at8.40 p.m., and that a cheque signed by\V. Ryan with tho amount not filled_inwas handed to defendnat, who. followingits being ascertained what portion of tholiquor sent into the dining room for dinnerhad been consumed, stated that he wouldtill in the amount of the cheque. Thishad not been done up to tho evening ofJune 6.

"This case is in itself a small tragedy,”said Mr Finlay, in addressing the court.“Tho police were advised of what wouldbo done, and the opinions of two promi-nent counsel obtained. I regret I was notone of them.—(Laughter.) An attempthad been marie to create a test case byan organised body representative of thelicensed victuallers and clubs interested a!)over New Zealand, but owing to a littleslip this cannot be taken as a test caseHitherto the, practice has been to get fromthe Licensing Committee the exclusive useof a. room. By means of this expedientmany august bodies, including the LawSociety itself, have entertained eminentjudges—real and to be—and prominentmagistrates of this city. The chairmanof the Licensing Committee_ found thatwhen application was made in this casethere was no authority to grant such aliberty, and consequently if these dinnersare to be held in clubs and hotels somereal authority will have to be sought en-abling tho service to be rendered. Therewere some of tho most illustrious peopleof ihe town at this dinner, your Worship,and I will ask you to treat the penaltyas one commensurate with the penalty ina test case,” concluded Mr Finlay.

Mr Boynton; .This is altogether differentfrom the usual licensing case, as theopinions of two eminent, counsel wore ob-tained and qct.nl upon. It is not anordinary case where tho Licensing ,}ct hasbeen deliberately broken. tin one informa-tion defendant will be convicted and

j ordered to pay costs, and tho other willI he dismissed under section 92 of ihe Justices

of the Peace Act.

THE BANK FOR YOU!

In order to achieve financial independ-ence and to attain any special object, suchas the purchase of a homo, your best wayis to save by regular weekly or monthlydeposits.

Thrift brings its own reward, and “sav-ings make play possible.”

THE DUNEDIN SAVINGS BANKwas established for the benefitof the citizens, and its notablesuccess shows how largely it isappreciated by them, as nearly11,000 satisfied depositors cantestify. It believes in renderingthe fullest possible measure ofservice and to afford its members—-for all depositors aro members—-the very highest rate of interest,compatible with absolute security.

“ The easiest wav to get money“is to save it. Many people“today are exemplifying the truth“of this statement. In the final“analysis there can be no progress,“either national or individual, where*' there is no thrift.”

the trustee who never dies.

The foremost consideration that shouldb e kept in mind when making your willis this: If an individual be appointed asyour trustee, you have no assurance as towho eventually may administer your es-tate. The individual trustee may die, andhis executor, in whom you may have noconfidence, may become you r executor.

On the other hand if you appoint ThaTrustees. Executors, and Agency Companyof New Zealand (Limited) to be the trusteeof your will, you may rest assured that thacompany will administer the trusts of youtwill and carry out your wishes in every re-spect, no matter who nay die in theinterim.

It is this feature of permanency in addi-tion 10 their skill and knowledge thatcommends 'The Trustees, Executors, andAgency Company to prudent, far-seeingpersons, who have property to bequeath, ordependants to consider.. Risk and uncer-tainty are eliminated.

MOTORING ON SKIPPER’S ROAD

M A GISTR ATE’ S RESERVEDDECISION.

BY-LAW VALID AND REASONABLE.

The following is the reserved dooisioNgiven by Mr Cruickshank. S.M., in theaction by the Lake County Council versusl>agg (a taxi driver) for breach of the LakeCounty by-law prohibiting motoring onSkipper’s road during certain hours:

“■This is an information against aQueenstown taxi driver for motoring onSkipper’s road contrary to the county bye-laws By section 2 of the Lake Countymotor by-law, it is enacted that ‘no poisonshall drive a motor upon Skipper’s road,tlie County Council being satisfied that theuse of motors upon that road would he at-tended with risk of danger to the public.’By section 4 of ‘The Motor Regulation Act,1908,’ there is power given to county coun-cils to make by-laws prohibiting the useof < motors upon any road if satisfied thatthe use of motors would be attended withdanger to the public.

“Counsel for the defendant urged that tlieby-law was unreasonable. It appears thatthe County Council have so far relaxedin the matter that it is now allowing carsto travel the road at night. The countyhave not modified or altered the by-law.but have simply instructed its inspectornot to pcoeecule in tho case of the nightiwer. The road in question is well known.Il is a sideling road through mountainouscountry, and has been a favourite withtourists for 30 years past, who were drivenover it in four-horse wagonette- with skilfuldrivers and good horses, all used to theroad. Tlie road is very narrow, very hilly,and sleep, and places where two vehiclescan pass only occur at intervals. Counselfor the defendant urged that in light placesthe motor ear was a handier vehicle thana team of horses, and he also urged thatmotor traffic was already allowed on moredangerous roads. Voluminous evidencewas given on both side for and against theprohibition. Tlie' point to he consideredis the benefit to the public. Arc tho publicmore benefited by ihe restrict’’on or by thefree use of cars on this road? The evi-dence given in favour of the Gee use ofthe road was given by Mr John Cookburna very old user of the road, who now hasa car; the defendant, who is a taxi driver;Mr Evt.on. the local manager of the MountCook Motor Company; Messrs .T. Collinsand bis son; and Mr John Thompson, aboardinghouse-keeper, interested in mining ;

and Harold Overton, a taxi driver. Noneof these men live at Skinners.

“Several witnesses states that there isrtsk of danger, and that (he local peoplewill live at the far end of. or who have theuse of the road to get to the outer worldare all against the removal of the prohibi-tion.

"It trill ho soon Mint the advocates offree travel on the road are, for the mostnart, persons interested in carrying pas-sengers over the road by car, people tvliolive in Queenstown and interested in thetourist or motor trade. On the otherhand, it would appear that (he loenl resi-dents who use the road to get in and out-do not wish any change.

"In the fare of such evidence how couldany court say that this by-law is un-reasonable? The Comity Council is thebest judge of the requirements of its owndistrict, and in prohibiting motor trafficon this road they have the support of thelocal residents. The road is not a throughroad; it is a blind road lo miles long haul-ing to the now decadent township ofSkippers, and to the runs and farms in theneighbourhood.

The ease of McCarthy v. Madden containsa complete exposition of the law relatingto the validity of by-laws. It shows thatin matters mainly and directly concerningthe people of the locality who choose theirown local councillors, the latter know theirown requirements bettor than the courtsIn the ease of (he user of the King's high-way a by-law which restricts the right ofpassage is always strictly scrutinised, and(he question to be considered is whetherthe abridgement of the user of tiic roadproduces a - benefit which outweights thehardship and justifies the restriction.

“Now. applying this law, it must heborne in mind (hat the road is not athrough road, and this restriction docs notinconvenience any travellers passingthrough the district. The settlers wholive along the road and use it with theirhorse vehicles do not want, motors on theroad; they are frightened of them. Anybusiness man wishing to visit Skipperson mining business can still go in thehorse coach as he would have been com-pelled to do 25 years ago. The road ispot closed; it is simply closed to motor-driven vehicles. The wishes of the localsettlers' and the benefits to them to mvmind outweigh the hardship which is in-flicted upon the _ taxi drivers of Queens-town. The tourists can still travel in thehorse coaches as of yore. The road is oneof the few places where one can enjoythe sensation of sitting behind a spankingteam of good horses controlled by a masterwhip and have a thrilling drive throughwild scenery. The evidence convinces methat the by-law is reasonable. Tf,’ toquote the words of Mr Justice Hoskingin the case of Bremner v. Ruddeuklau, ‘theevidence left, the question in doubt or re-duced it to one of the opinion of (he court,(hen. on the benevolent principle to hoapplied to the construction of (he by-laws,I should treat the considered opinion ofthe council, fortified as it was hv that ofthe engineer, to turn the scale in favourof the by-law.’ The Chief Justice alsosays in the same ease, ’The by-law hits beenin existence for seven years, and there hasbeen no complaint. After seven years’acquiescence in the by-law can it now' besaid to he unreasonable?’ This by-law isnearly 15 years old. The greatest argu-ment in favour of the by-law is the factthat its validity has already been tested inHie case of Powell v. M‘Bride, where SirWilliam -Sim said, ‘lt is clear that theCounty Council must have considered (hoquestion of the use of motors on the road,and must have come to the conclusion that,in the interests of public safety, their useshould he prohibited.’

"To my mind, the by-law is valid andreasonable, and the defendant is convictedand ordered 10 pay costs (/.«) and solicitor’sfee (£3 2~).”

Before tbo service the organist playedBach's Choral Preludes, Brahms's ChoralPreludes, and Harwood's "Requiem Aerter-narn." At noon the clergy and choirwalked in procession from the nave to theirplaces, preceded by the great cross of theAbbey. 'ibc clergv officiating were theSub-Dean, Canon W. 11. Carnegie, Canontie Candole, and the precentor, the Rev.L. 11. Nixon, wearing copes of the darkestviolet velvet richly embroidered with silver.After they had taken their places withinthe chancel, the hymn "For All the Saints"was sung—the lino ' "From earth's widebounds, from ocean's farthest coast" seem-ing to have special significance and ap-propriatness. '1 he sentences from the Burialfen ice were reviled, and then came the25rd Psalm. The Lesson was the first,seven verses of the 21st. chapter of Revela-tion. and anthem (loss's •’Blessed are thedead which die in the Lord." perfectlysung without accompaniment. Prayers fol-lowed. and for a second hymn RudyardKipling's ‘‘Recessional" was sung.

When the Sub-Dean had pronounced theBlessing, the “Dead March," from "Saul,"brought the simple and quietly solemn ser-vice to a close. 'Die procession passedback from the sanctuary through thechnrcb, and the congregation slowly dis-persed.' -Many stayed for n little time toboar the organist, play Bach’s Prelude andFugue in C minor. The service was veryimpreststre.

OTHER TRIBUTES.

all. square for king andEMPIRE.

Tributes tr, the lot* New Zealand PrimeMinister continue to arrive from all partsof rhe British Lsles. To the writers MrAlassev was a personality of outstandingprominence.

Mr John Bennott, lately beck from atrip to the dominion, writes to The limes:“ 1 ,

. . was privileged on leavingthat country to receive a very inspiringmessage from the late Prime Minister,ending with the words; ‘You jn&ytake this message, that New Zea-land stands all square for King,country. and Empire.’ As thos isprobably one of the last messages of thiskind which Air Massey sent, and one whichis so typical of his splendid ideals, jf maybe of interest for others to read it.”

A MAN AND A STATESMAN.The Guardian pays the accompanying tri-

bute: “No man can be Prime Minister ofany country for 15 successive years unlesshe is a strong man in the best sense ofthat hard-worked description. That was theremarkable record of the late Air Alassey,and the record is the more astonishing sinceNew Zealand is the most experimental ofall the dominions. His long reign is anindication that extremes in domestic politicsare by no means incompatible with loyaltyto the Imperial ideal. He carried hiscountry into the Groat War ‘by first inten-tion,’ as the doctors say. ‘All we have,and all we are. at the service of the King.’he telegraphed, and lie consoribed NewZealand without saying to the people’‘withyour leave or by your leave.’ Only a manwho enjoyed the thorough confidence of hisnation could have done such things, ovenin that supreme emergency, and- Air Alasseywas able to do them because New Zealandbeliever! in him and in the Empire. Hewas not a dogged Ulsterman for nothing.Ho made himself as a man and as a states-man, for ho was far more Gian a politician;and to him the dominion owes much of thesteadiness and solidity with which it. hasfaced those after-war conditions that stillvex the world.”

TRIBUTES FROM IRELAND.Reference to the death of Air Alassey

was made in the First Derry PresbyterianChurch on Sundav night bv the Rev. DrM‘C Jranahan, an ex-Afodorator of the Gene-ral Assembly. Ho said (hat Air Massey wasone of the many Ulstermen who had goneout to the colonies carrying with them theintegrity, sincerity, and activity that werecharacteristics of the Ulster Scot, MrAlassey was a devoted member of thechurch, and was deeply interested in Sab-bath school work, a work which he publiclystated recently was one which he regardedas essential to the welfare of the common-wealth. “It is men like Mr Alassey,” addedDr Al? Grrnahan. “who have marie our Em-pire what, it is, and we pray that manysuch may be raised up to further itsinterests."’

The Irish Times; Mr Massey was the lastof the war Premiers. Alone of all themen who held (he political chieftainship oftheir countries during (he great struggle,lie weathered the storms of the criticalyears that, have passed sinee the Armistice,and at his death he was just ns popularamong his people as lie had been at mivstage in his career. Men of apparentlygreater stature—Wilson, Lloyd George.(Temc'tcean, Poincare, Smuts, and Hughes—all have fallen from their high estate;incomparably (he greatest Xow Zealander.. . . Ho never was a “Colonial” in theordinary sense, an 1 whenever differencesof opinion" arose between the dominionsand the Mother Country—more especiallyduring the days of the Paris Peace Confer-ence —he was invariably to be found onthe side of the Home Government. Underhis guidance New Zealand prospered ex-ceedingly. Socially it is the most advancedof all the dominions, ns relatively it is alsothe wealthiest. Its rapid progress duringrecent years has been due in no smallmeasure to the work and enthusiasm olWilliam Massey, who was among the mostsuccessful Empire-builders of our age.

The Irish News (Belfast) : Ho was onlya boy of 14 when he left Xor.th Derry.As a general rule young people broughtup in districts given to intolerance shedtheir predilections and gladly acknow-ledge their new sanity when they comeinto direct contact wilh the big world out-side. But young Massey probably de-cided that his early ideas could be profit-ably exploited amongst a small communitylike the New Zealanders of 50 years ago.He was an able man, rough and ratheruncouth to the last, but vigorous and mas-terful. He failed to make a good impres-sion in London, and even those who sym-pathised to some extent with his politicalviews looked askance on his excursion intoIrish “party politics” during his stay on(his side of the Equator a few years ago;but he was undoubtedly the strongest per-sonal force in New Zealand's public lifefor at least a decade. Like many morenotable personages, he “got his chance”during the war, though he had been aMinister in a pre-war Government. Thecomplicated New Zealand “land question”was at his fingers’ ends: his public lifewas mainly concerned with land problems.A halo man in the ’sixties. Mr Masseyappeared to have many years of active lifebefore him when he last left England forhis adopted country after a prolongedvisit.

THE SECRET OF HIS GREATNESS.The Northern Whig (Belfast) ; The story

of Mr Massey's career reads like a romance,and some day, perhaps, we shall have It infull. It would be an inspiration to theyouth of the Empire. . . . Mr Masses-will take his place, in history with thosegroat Ulstermen who have carved forthemselves a niche in the Templeof Fame. He was quiet and un-assuming, and lacked nil those theatricalarts which sonic public men arc apt topractise. Mr Massey possessed characterin the widest meaning of' the term. lienever sought high ollice. He had it thrustupon him, hut then he soon justified Un-wisdom and the foresight of those whoselected him as their leader. ... Itwas by sheer merit that Mr Massey rose tobo the head of one of the great dominionsof file Empire. He died, as we are surehe would nave liked, in harness, but holived long enough to see his work bearingabundant fruit.

Mr Massey was the only Prime Ministerin the world whose personal position hasnot been shaken by the great war. It wasa great testing time for statesmen, andhe came through it unscathed. Indeed, itmay be said of him that he died in theplenitude of his power. Ho was trustedas fully in New Zealand as he was trustedthroughout the Empire. . . We in hisnative province followed his career withgreat interest and pride. If we seek for thesecret of Mr Massey’s greatness it willbe found in the fact that he feared Goda.nd nothing else. It will not surprisethose who have followed his career to learnthat he was "a groat Bible student, and aman of simple Christian faith.” How typi-cal of the average Ulsterman whose faithis founded on the Eternal ' It was this firmabiding faith in things unseen that gaveMr 'Massey such n strong hold on alt thatis of tile first importance in statesmanship,and enabled him to come, through the or-deal of the great world catastrophe with anenhanced reputation. So Jong as the-self-governing States of the Empire can securesuch men as William Ferguson Massey totake the lead in the management; of theiraffairs there will be no real cause foranxiety as to their future.

THE NAME PERPETUATED.Belfast Evening Telegraph: No more loyal

man ever served the King, and no greaterbeliever in the destiny of the British Em-pire ever lived. Ulster people liked theman, apart from his talents and gifts, forhis love of the Old Country. . . Hiscareer m the New World iva- wonderfullysuccessful. Ho rose io the Premiership ofthe land of ins adoption, which under hisinspiring leadership played a magnificentpart in live World War. Behind (he amaz-ing efforts of those little islands in theSouth Seas was the personality and thedriving force of Mr Ma.-sey, the indomit-able Ulsterman who wa.s at (he head ofaffairs. Success did not spoil him, for hewas always the same unassuming, genialman. His name will bo long rememberedas one of the great t-ervauts of Empireprovided by Ulster. County Derry willrank him side uy -ide with the Lawrence,and Ulster will give him a niche in (hetemple of her illustrious dead side by sidewith the first Marquis of Duff'oriu and Ava,John Nicholson, of Delhi: Sir GeorgeWhile, of I/idysmith ; and many others whohave brought glory to Iho Imperial pro-vince.

REGRET IN SCOTLAND.The Glasgow Herald: As New Zealand

Plenipotentiary, Mr Massey did excellentwork for the Empire at the Peace Con-ference at Paris. Ho was appointed secondBritish representative on the Commissionon Responsibilities for War and the En-forcement of Penalties, and he won warmpraise for the manner in which he actedas president of the Sub-committee on Factsand as chairman of the Drafting Com-mittee.

The Edinburgh Evening Dispatch: MrMassey was a good example of the Empire-building type of man. He was a truefarmer-colonist. It is said that he learnedof his ©lection to the New Zealand Parlia-ment while engaged in building a hay-stack. All through his political careerhe displayed the homely shrewdness of thefarmer. While its domestic politics mayreflect various shades of opinion, on thelarger issues Npw Zealand is strongly Im-perial, and Mr ‘Massey eras heart and soulfor the Empire. Ho was the last, of vhewar Premiers. He was the only one whoguided his country in the troublous dayto retain, office whon the peace time came.His bluff kindliness won many friends andearned for him the abbreviation “Bill.”

THE PROVINCIAL PRESS.Western ‘Daily Press (Bristol): Those who

knew him personally had a groat affectionfor him. He was sometimes over-excitedwhen things went wrong or when he wasviolently opposed, but this was never takenvery seriously by those who knew him.He was crystal blear in all his dealings.His transparent honesty was recognised byall men, and ho has no very real enemies—certainly not in politics. Ae a companionon a journey he was always most enter-taining and delightful. He had the giftof throwing off the depression of greatresponsibilities, and he thoroughly enjoyedevery moment of his brief leisure. Onevery occasion he came over to this countryho visited his native country of Ireland,and he showed a very youthful delight inbeing among bis fellow-Ulstormen. Oftenduring the past year he had been advisedto go slow, but he continued his work withunabated energy, and he died as he wouldhave wished—in harness.

Newcastle Chronicle: A bluff, kindlyman, he won firm friends wherever hewent, and in New Zealand was popularlyknown throughout (he country as “OurBill.” Ho was an amazingly rapid andfluent speaker. . . While he alwaysstood out manfully for the interests ofthe dominion with'which, for over half acentury, he was so closely associated, healso had the balanced view which enabledhim to do justice to the claims of all partsof the Empire, Ihe service he renderedat a critical period In our history willnever be forgotten.

Western Morning News (Plymouth) : Afirm believer in Empire solidarity, he wasa big man physically, mentally, andmorally, and no one wa® stronger than hein patriotic declaration during (lie war. Howas a groat believer in a powerful navyto protect our trade, and New Zealand,under his guidance, showed itself ready tobear her share o: the cost of Empire de-fence. . . . .At the meeting of dominionPrime Ministers in London in 1923 MrMassey s personality made him an oulstand-mfr figure at tne ( onforeneb. At that meet-inpr he showed himself a strong advocateof Imperial Preference, and made a favour-

Mitt*r?pr * ° ll by his broad outlook.J-hIJ Massey he was to the New Zealand

troops, and as popular a. statesman as everlived. A great Parliamentarian, and amaster of debate with an amazing gift ofrepartee, the Empire is the poorer throughhis death, and New Zealand impoverishedto an extent which only her people willknow. i m

Express and Star (Wolverhampton) : Dur-ing tho last of Ills many visits to thiscountry ho was the guest of the Chamberof Commerce of Wolverhampton and of thecorporation. His informative and vigorousaddresson the. conditions, both political andindustrial, in New Zealand gave Wolver-hampton a vivid picture of the country hohad directed with such singleness of pur-pose for 12 years.

Sheffield Independent; The secret of hisunchallenged rule was his unrestrained pas-sion for the prosperity 4f his country, and■•he strengthening of tho bonds of Empire.In this he was always a leader. Mr Mas-sey was- the directing spirit of the dominion,infusing with life and vigour the manyactivities of the hard-working farmingcommunity which made so many other con-tributions to meet the demands of thewar. Hi# influence was equally effectivewhen he paid his first visit to this countryas Prime Minister of Ncw*Zealand in -IjIT.Then he served as a member of the Im-perial War Cabinet until 1918. During hisvisits to Engalnd he received many honours,and he made a strong plea- for more fre-quent Imperial Conferences as the bestmean# of strengthening (he links of Em-pire.

SINCERITY AND MODESTY.Yorkshire Post (Leeds) ; Among the main-

line point.# of character in the late MrMassey nothing more strongly appealed totile public, an Australian informs me, thanthe veteran statesman's sincerity andmodesty. Even his stoutest’ political oppo-nents loved him for his straightforwardnessin all things, and their at tacks in tho House,modified always by liter respect, were in-variably doubly disarmed by his perfectserenity—the gift of never becoming ruffledby a sharp word or biting phrase. But mostpeople will remember him for his charmingmodesty. Ho hated notoriety, shrank fromfuss, and sometimes chafed at the ceremonyinseparable from his high office. A goodstory is told of his last visit to London.He was waiting in Court dress to attendat thf. Palace, and as he was silhouettedagainst a window overlooking the Thamesone of the stair was tempted to risk a snap-shot. He caught the offender redhanded,hut laughed at the escapade. The silkstockings seemed to be his worst embarrass-ment, hut even (here good humour was hissaving grace. “Well," ho said, “my legscertainly look better than those of ‘Billy’Hughes when he is all dressed up.’_

Birmingham Post : At five Imperial Con-ferences Mr Massey was present as Yew

.Zealand’s representative, and at each hehad somelhng to say that was worth say-ing. He was a member of the ImperialWar Cabinet cf 1917-13; he was New Zea-land's Plenipotentiary at Versailles. Indomestic affairs he handled v#th successboth the labour troubles that preceded thewar and the financial and economic diffi-culties that succeeded it. He had op-ponents and a few enemies. But heusually got his own way, and almost al-ways events justified him. For Imperialists in this country his death will be aheavy lo#s He was a strong supporterof Imperial Preference; a man keenly aliveto the need that the dominion# shouldboar a large part of the burden of Imperialdefence: a man firmly convinced that,poli-tically the Empire needed and would ulti-mately sec a closer connection betweenMotherland and dominions. He stood animpregnable barrier against the vew cfNew Zealand Labour that the true destinyof the dominions is to be a series of self-contained republics.

He was, one need hardly add, a manpersonally dominant. Allowing for differ-ence in sonic aspect# of dome-tic politics,allowing for tho difference between minerand farmer, he had much in common withSt-ddon. . Like Seddon, he wa# a big.burly man; like Seddon. he was an effectiverather tbstn an eloquent speaker. He wasa great lighter, largely because he was asingle-minded, straightforward man. Hispower came from ins vital enthusiasm; hisability .to persuade lay in his capacityjo put a plain, common-sense view—butto put it with force and with fire. Hewa# blunt and occasionally undiplomatic inhis speech; but he wa* not without con-siderable astuteness. In a word, he wasone of ihe typical statesmen that the do-minions produced in the la-t half-century—-honest, sensible. plain-spoken—and yetsagacious. Men of hi- typo arc perhapsless rare, or so wo like to think, in ourrace than in others. Ye, even with usthey are not so numerous that we canmourn them without a very deep sense ofloss,

; solidarity or empire.South Wales Daily News: Although Mr

Massey never figured so prominently inImperial discussions as Mr Hughes, MrBruce, Mr Meighen. and other dominionstatesmen who have visited the Motherfountry in receni, year-, ho wielded a per-sonal influence in hi- own country whichany of these friendly rivals might wellhave envied. Hi# was indeed for a verylong period the aulhemic voice of thepeople of New Zealand. On all the greatImperial issue# he encountered no seriousopposition in. home.’- Lie had the supportof all classes, who regarded him as onewlm could he trusted to express theirpatriotism and fidelity to ihe British tradi-tion in any aA-crmuv. . . All r.ho resthad been swont cm, of office in the after-math of that mighty disruption. Mr Mas-sey alone retained (lie unwavering confidenceof hi- : Mow countrymen. Ills characterand poMonall! v were amongst the inosiprecious cftfctu- io the cause of the Allie-in the war. Mew Zealand is the mostreniolo country from the. scone of the con-flict, and iniffht have fairly ploodod to be

exonerated from service, in the Europeantheatre at any rate. But no such thoughtwas ever entertained by Mr Massey. NewZealand, ho insisted, must be representedon the Western Front, and in this he hadthe unqualified support and approval ofthe people. The powerful contingentsthat he sent across the seas were as 'fin©a bodv of men as rallied to the aid j ofthe Allies. And on that and many subse-quent occasions he earned the undyinggratitude of the British people. So longas the dominions continue to producestatesmen of his type, no disruptive forcesare ever likely to prevail against thasolidarity of the Empire.

The Field: New Zealand prides itself onbeing the most “English” of the overseasdominions. For our part, wo abstain fromsuch comparisons; but this at least is be-yond dispute—that New Zealand, though thesmallest of the dominions, yields to none inher loyalty to the Crown and hear attach-ment to these other islands from which herpeople have sprung. Among her leadersnone has stood for the spirit of Imperialunity more sturdily than her late PrimeMinister. . . . This week there is sorrowthroughout the Empire because of his pass-ing. In his own country he was a party-leader, and men did not always see eyeto eye with him. But his opponents aawell as his own party were friendly to him.personally and respected him because,though a keen fighter, they knew him tobo clean and straight. .

.. Four times he

came to London to ait in conference withthe other statesmen of the Empire, andhis sterling character and devotion to Im-perial ideals won for him here the respectand regard which he enjoyed at horns. Mewill be missed, but the leswm® which hataught and practised will not bo lost. Afterall, it is men of his type, steady rathe*than brilliant, that do most to keep, theship of Empire on an even keel.

A BREATH OF LINCOLN.The British Weekly; Two sentences front

the obituary notices of Mr W. F. Massey,the late Prime Minister of New Zealand—•

and the only war Prim© Minister in thewhole world. I think, to die in harness—-reminded me of Abraham Lincoln, andfiner salute to a dead patriot no man couldoffer. For one thing, Mr Massey was areader of few hooka, but know those thathe had on his shelves by heart. There isthe true Lincoln touch. And then thereis the description of Massey pitching hay,collecting a telegram on the prong of msfork while standing on his rick, and find-ing it to be an invitation to stand for Par-liament—an incident that seems at onoe toconjure up the picture of Arabam keepingthe post office in his stove-pipe hat, or—-still closed parallel of ‘‘atmosphere”—th©opening scene of Mr Drink water’s pipy.

The Spectator: The death of Mr Masseymoans another groat loss to the BritishlEmpire. Those who knew Mr Massey willlong remember his geniality, his simplicityand his refreshing belief that the rightmust triumph. Anyone who did not knowthat he was an Ulsterman might have sus-pected it from his intense and unquestioningdevotion to Great Britain. In New Zea-land. where he was immensely popular, hischief care and, therefore, the foundation ofhis policy was the development of the usaof the land!

A GREAT PATRIOT.The Saturday Review: “Few personalities

in Imperial politics, Using the term Im-perial in its wider sense, will be more missedthan the late "Prime Minister of New Zea-land. With him Imperial Preference, wasalmost a religion and he never got overthe attitude taken by the Socialist Govern-ment towards (he resolutions passed at thaImperial and Economic Conference.-, Hisfrequent appearance® at the Imperial Con-ference table gave him many opportuni-ties of impressing his views on his col-leagues, but his speeches were far too longand sorely tried the patience of his bestfriends. But he was a great patriot andhis John Bull attributes and burly goodnature made him a popular figure in thiscountry.”

.-.

A VIRILE PERSONALITY.The Sunderland Echo; Mr Massey’s

strong, virile personality, his shrewd com-mon sense, his natural gift of leadership,and his obvious honesty of purpose; werahis greatest asset as a politician. His be-liefs were strong, and he expressed them,especially in the face of opposition, withconsiderable vehemence. He had, however,a most kindly disposition, and it is haexaggeration to say that he was belovedbv idl. even by political opponents. Inthis country, where his strong Imperialism"'®s ell known, he had made many warmfriends. He was a man of simple Christ iatjfaith, a wide reader, and a strong Anglo-Israelite, with a firm belief in the domi-nant destiny of the British race. ■ . ,

WOMEN IN JAPANESE INDUSTRY.Women are extensively employed m

Japanese industry. In 1920 oO per eenof the factory workers were women. In

the spinning mills the percentage was 80.

In the mines a quarter of the employeesare women, who are sent underground.Factory work usually entails 12 to lo boorsa dav, 16 to 16 when business is brisk, .lirewomen are housed and fed by their em-ployers under a sort, of 9'ruck system, ,r jinch manner that of -11111200,000 annualentrants into indusUy 13,000 leave botoiethe end of the year by reason <>f serious

onwards women have taken an mUncst in

Trade Union organisation, but. they re-ceived a setback in 1920, when a 1 okiaspinning mill struck in sympathy with themon, and the men eventually failed to sup-port them in a contingent strike over thedismissal of ten women strikers. Inerois in existence now a skeleton organisa-tion. but it. will have to wait for the next

boom before it cun make any real head-way. In 1923 some of (be eoUon spinners,

a.s a special act of grace, reduced women shours to 10 per day.

LABOUR PARTY AND THE TRADESUNIONS.

“The rift is between Trade Unionism asan aggressive movement and the LabourParty conceived as a people's party, ab-sorbing what is left of the Liberal tradition,and pursuing an evolutionary and re-formist policy on the lines indicated by thelate Labour Government, which, it mustnot he forgotten, was to all Intents andpurposes an 1.1..1'. I lovermnent. flow,-deep dons this rift, go?” asks the NewStatesman in an article which deals withthe supposed divisions in the Labour Parly.

“Some people, realising ils existence,jump to the conclusion that a. split in theLabour movement is impending. In fact,there is hardly any chance of such a split.The I.L.F. may he captured by the LeftWing; the Trades Union Congress may berecaptured by the Right. The LabourParty may change its leader, or the TradeUnions may change theirs.

“But the fundamental assurance thatthere will ho no real split comes from thefact that the whole movement., politicaland industrial alike, depends on the TradeUnions; and in these (hero is not thesmallest sign of an imremline fissure. TheRight Wing dare not, for a long time yet,forfeit Trade Union support ; the LeftWing dare not, push ahead too fast forthe same reason. There will ho mornbickering on the lines of the present littlecontroversy.

‘'There may he a change of leaders, eventhe driving of very prominent men out. oftheir position in the jmrfy or the union.But there will not for scene time yet heanything in the nature of a real split,either within the Labour Party or W-lwoeiithe Labour Party and the Trades UnionCongress.

“The Trades Unions will probably cutthemselves rather looser from obligationsbased on Labour Party strategy; but theywill not cut loose. Nor, obviously, will (lieI.L.P. leaders commit political suicide bvknocking away the foundations of tlnnrinfluence.”

ERriTsi r agRiour/n:ralLABOURERS.“In respect to labour also there is a dis-

position t.o over-rate the demands of uranicland,” writes the agricultural correspondentol the dimes. ”figures were given in theHouse ot Commons recently showing thereduction in the number of farm workerscompared with 1871. Of course, the de-crease was groat ; bill it would be wrongto attribute this entirely to changes infarming—to grass as compared with arable.

“No cognisance was Liken of the extens-ive substitution of mechanical for manuallabour. An occupier of 1009 acres of arableland to-day would not employ nearly asmany men as his predecessor did half acentury ago, before the days of Lie binder,the, mower and other appliances; and the(/lirresponding array of labour-saving con-trivances for cultivating, cleaning, and (seed-ing the land.

“in respect to manual labour and its al-ternatives them have Iwen changes on theland corresponding with those in the millsand ether centres of industrial activity, andit is behoved the limit of transformation inthis direction has not yet been reached.Both makers and users of mechanical con-trivances aro constantly exorcising theirminds in an endeavour to reduce the Labourbill, not per man, but per acre or unit ofoutput.

”i'he land worker, in eonqiarison withother skilled mon, is underpaid, but it, ishoped to raise his earnings by placing atIns disposal machinery or improved irnpk.menus tliat will enable him to do more won;in a given rime. 'This is tantamount tofurther diminution in the number of handsemployed, but. there appears to be no escapefrom seme such effort towards improvementin the lot of land workers.

"It may bo duo in some measure, to theextent to which mechanical Jalronr has dis-placed manual, that a large, farmer de-clared the other day that on a farm Jintook over a few years ago, and put downto grass, he employed more men than hispredecessor did when the, holding was a,IIarable. He maintains a breeding herd aridrears the calves tor the stocking of hisother farms, but the significance of thepoint is that it ia not tillage or grass thatdetermines the amount of labour employed,so much as the. system cf managementadopted. ’

LONDON, May 20.During tho third series of London ■wool

Palos of iho current year, which opened onMay 3 ami closet, on May 11, the quantitiescatalogued included 19,73 d bales from XewZealand. The tosul offerings amounted 1o00,028 bales. The hold-over was about703,090 bales. The quantity sold amountsto about '15,000 bales, of which sonic 25,000halos have been take a for export, including1000 purchased for shipment to America,leaving about 120,000 halos to be carriedforward unsold.

Messrs Charles Balrae and Co. comment:“Tlie better tone which was noticeable in thomarket towards the close of the. Minch senesraised hopes that bottom had been touchedin wool prices. To this improvement, how-ever, there was no response in the manu-facturing districts, and quotations for topsin Bradtoui continued to decline during thointerval. .Reports from the Continent alsoindicated a falling-off in business, and therewere no signs of America supporting themarket. In these circumstances, a lowerrange of values was generally expected, butat the opening of the May sales the declinewas greater than seller,*s had anticipated,particularly as regards New Zealand cross-breds and tho trade did not appear able to

absorb the quantity available for the scries.A meeting was therefore held lo consider theposition, when it was decided io curtail theprogramme by a week. At the same time, itwaa announced that no further sales wouldbe hell in Australia before July 1. Alterthis there was a much better demand andprices improved all round, especially forcrossbreds, which closed 10 per cent, aboveopening rates. Throughout the senes theje-was a good demand lor’line wools fiom Con*1 incntal buyers, who purchased practicallyall tho merinos sold, while the bulk of thocrossbreds went io the Horne trade.'

Among greasy merinos, fine-baired Contin-ental wools were in good demand at tho he-L'inning of the auctions at from 10 to 15 percent, decline. During the second week therewas a distinct improvement, and at the closeibis class was selling frequently at less than10 per cent, below March parity. Tbe beststyle of wool suitable for the Homo tradedeclined 15 per cent., while on lots of roughquality the fall amounted io from 15 to 20 percent. Scoureds sold irregularly at first, butInter on met with good competition at from10 io 15 per cent, below last series’ level.

At tire outset greasy crossbreds weremefitly withdrawn at bidy about 50 per cent,,

cheaper, but after a few days prices beganto rise, and at the close they aiood 20 percent, for fine and from 20 to 25 per cent,for medium and coarse qualities below Marcorales. Scoured and aliped crossbreds alsomet with a better demand in the .second week,but they must be quoted generally about 2t>per cent cheaper.

As compared with last series’ closing rates.Messrs Dabne quote:

Tlie following dates have been fixed forthe opening of tho remaining .series of salesduring the present your:—July 7, September15. and November 24.

Messrs Weddel and Co. elate that there iscertainly a little more confidence throughouttho trade in general, and rather more busi-ness is reported from Bradford. On thoother hand, in boidc quarters tho opinion iaheld,that tho apparent stability is only tem-porary, and many buyers do not feel likecommitting themselves till the true positionis made clearer. The next few weeks shouldshow whether or not business will be re-sumed on the present basis, but, whateverhappens, there is still a very difficult timein front of tlm trade in general.

ONK OF THF, BIGGKST FALLS.The trade specialist of the Bradford Daily

Telegraph, commenting on the position andthe outlook: “Everybody (be writes) hasbeen more or less disappointed with the fallin crossbreed wools since lasi December.Fine crossbreds in Coleman street have cer-tainly lost ground a good 20 per cent.;medium crossbreds have depreciated 25 to 150per cent.; and even coarse crossbreds aredown 25 per cent, on tho closing value's ofIhc March series. This i« one of the biggestfalls we have over known, a clear proof thattrade is in small compass, and the declinehas certainly given rise to very serious mis-givings. What wo feel most is that thisdecline must bo btused on insufficient tradeand a much lessened turnover than crossbredlopmakers and spinners have experienced foru long time.

STABILISED TALUKS WANTED.“Tho trade has been officially advised of

the abandonment of all salc-s in Australia,and the trade is now to bo given a refit untilthe beginning of July. In tho meantimeanything cun happen. There is one schoolof prophets who third: that the wisest tilinglias been done namely, to give the - trade abreathing spa.ee. On ihc other hand, thereare those who think tho wisest thing wouldhave 1k»ou to have met the market, and soget rid of the balance o£ the old clip. Thoargument of the latter in that the soonerwool petg down lo a tempting level the soonerwill there, he, a resumption of business on alarge scale. 'Whichever verdict is right, itis certain that what is most wanted is stabi-lised values. We think now (hat there isa. reasonable chance of prices continuing atto-day’s level, and morn business being done.The moat desired thing is si resumption of

buying on the part of spinnerp and manu-facturers. That, can only come about bybetter manufacturing conditions, and through-out the, whole of the West Riding, therecertainly is less trade at tho mills than forsome considerable time back."

BENEFITS FROM CO-OPERATION.The Financial Times says: “Little surprise

must have been felt by tho wool industryin Australia at the recent collapse of thesales here if v.c are to judge from the veryintelligent forecasts contained in tho annualwool review of Messrs Winchcombc- Carson.Topical importance attaches to tho referencesto tho effect substitutes arc having, and willhave in tho immediate future, upon thewoollen industry. . , One cause which hascontributed to (ho high level of prices is thetael that all surplus wartime wool stockshave now passed into consumption, whichlatter fact is confirmed by the report of th-3British Australian "Wool Realisation Associa-tion. At a mooting held in Melbourne it wasdecided that the association should go intolicmidation at as early a date as possible,considering that there is still certain litiga-tion in progress. A. project has been mootedthat the growers themselves should form asimilar institution to succeed the BritishAustralian Wool Realisation Association.This is sufficient evidence of the benefits theyhave derived from a co-operative policy, what-ever view the consumers may hold in thematter.” '

THE TUTOKO VALLEY.

Written for the Otago Daily Times.

Bt George M. Moir.In the head of the Tutoko Valley is

scenery rivalling that of the Upper Holly-ford, but in tno opinion of the writer,the latter holds the palm, for althoughthere is nothing in it to compare withthe splendour of the Herbert ico tailsof the Age Glacier, which lies betweenMounts Tutoko and Madeline, the Holly-ford has a greater variety of peaks ofunrivalled beauty. (Moreover, the open-ness of the great park-like flats gives anopportunity of admiring these peaks frommany points of view, and is in strikingcontrast to the more shut-in nature ofthe Upper Tutoko. Nevertheless, theaccessibility of the Tutoko Taller fromMilford Sound is in its favour. The daywill come when it will bo more visitedthan the vallevs in the vicinity of MountCook.

Within the last few years so much hasbeen heard of Mount Tutoko and of ex-plorations in the Tutoko Valley that itmay be worth while to set out in chron-ological order the visits of different partiesto this portion of the sounds district.There is no doubt that Donald Sutherlandwas very early in the field, if not actuallythe earliest. 'Mr Malcolm Ross made thefirst visit of which any account is avail-able. This took place in April, 1895,and is described in the Otago Daily Timesof May 14, 1895, and also in his ownhook “A Climber in New Zealand" (1914).Ross was responsible for naming tho AgeGlacier, and the Leader Creek flowingfrom it, after two Melbourne newspaperswith which he was connected. MountSyrne is said rdso to he named after thelate proprietor of these journals. Thismountain is not so well known tvs MountUnderwood, which lies to the south of it,and is an outstanding feature of the viewfrom Sandfly. Mount Underwood, how-ever, ow es its name to Captain Under-wood, i t the Rotomahana. Ross and hisparlv climbed up the steep .snowgrassslopes alongside the Age Glacier to thegreat snow plateau, whence theyattempted unsuccessfully to climb MountMadeline. Had they not mistaken thispeak, then unnamed, for Mount Tutoko,they would probably have provided aname for it also; —indeed they gave thename of Fosbury to what is the realTutoko. A few 'years later, in January,1898, tho Tutoko' Yalley was visited by

a, party, including Dr J. R. Don andMr \V.’ G. Grave, who were anxious tofind if Tutoko were a volcano, as it hadbeen reported to have been seen inaction. Needless to say the reportsturned out to be without foundation. Thisparty made tho first ascent of a longsnow couloir to the west of the head ofthe Tutoko Valley. There is no recordof further visits to the valley for verymany years after this.

Just after- their ascents of Mount Elliottand Mitre Peak in 1917, Messrs E. R.Williams and J. R.. Murrell made a shorttrip up beside the Age Glacier to thostiowfields above, near which they camped.This visit is really what has led to theinterest ■which has been displayed inthe Tutoko district by a number of partiesin recent years. To Mr S. Turner musthe given the credit of the first ascents ofMounts Madeline and Tutoko, The for-mer was easy, but the latter was muchmore difficult, sc much eo that it was notaccomplished until the sixth attempt, andthen only with the assistance of PeterGraham, the finest alpine guide in NewZealand, who made short work ot it.An account of the first three of Turner’ssix visits will he found inhis book. “TheConquest of the New Zealand Alps,”which mav he seen in the Dunedin PublicLibrary. Until it had been climbed Turnerwas unable to make up his mind whichmountain was Tutoko. He claimed tohave made many discoveries, but it maybe suggested that some of _ these _ werealready known from the earlier visits ofRoss, Grave, and Williams on the Tutokoside; while on the Hollyford side theaccuracy of the information provided byMr E. *H. Wilmot’s early trigonometricalsurvey is beyond reproach. This was veri-fied by Air T. W. Preston’s survey partyin January, 1924. /

To reach the Tutoko Valley the routeup tho north side of the Cleddau isfollowed to the Tutoko Junction. Aftertraversing the long shingle beach of theCleddau behind Sutherland's the bush isentered. Within a few hundred yardsthe track reaches a point on th© river-terrace where a fine view of the Cleddauis spread out in front. Very soon a streamis reached entering the river from theleft. This is really a small portion of

. the main Cleddau, and tho trail con-tinues up beside it. Further on, some ex-tensive flats are reached 'which wereknown to tho Sutherlands as Caledonia.A short way thence through tho bush co-wards the rode wall of Barren Peak onthe left there lies a little lake, producedby avalanches tumbling off the peak mthe spring! These flats no doubt becomesubmerged in flood-time, and this fact,together with the presence of Suther-land’s cattle, probably accounts for the

, scarcity of grass upon them. It is notfar up the fiats to the Tutoko Junction,near which will be found an old camp.A trail leads up through the open bushbeside the Tutoko River, and after pass-ing another old camp, care must betaken to get th© proper track, which doesnot bear off to the left, but descendsdown a river terrace to the right, andis for a while fairly close to the river.Amid rougher going it soon degeneratesinto little more than a blazed trail whichrises across a bush-clad spur away fromthe river. There are several awkwardcrossings of creeks and after a coupleof hours (or more) from the junction theriver-bed is again reached, where therearc plenty of large boulders. This spotis just about opposite a high hangingvalley which lies between Mount Under-wood to the south and Mount Syme totho north. The head of this little valleycannot be far distant from the headsof several others—namely, the Donne, anorthern branch of Moraine Greek andTutoko Creek.

On. following up the river beach, thosite of a fairly large camp is reached,but a warning must be given againstcamping in this vicinity, for it is quiteclose to a great moss swamp—the breed-ing ground for thousands of mosquitoes.A little further on, at an easy f»rd, itis a good idea to cross over to the eastside of the river, and continue up somemore or less open flats, whence can beseen ahead to the right part of the AgeGlacier, and also the summit of MountMadeline. An excellent view showing thisis published in “Glimpses of New Zea-land Scenery” (B. E. Baughan), page-60,but it is wrongly named Mount Tutoko,only tho lower slopes of which appear tothe left of the glacier. In less than anhour from the bouldery beach mentionedabove, the junction of the Leader Creekwill be reached. To go up to the AgeGlacier, it is best to follow up a (dry)stream-bed, which is found in the bushjust below the mouth of the creek. Thisroute provides easy going till some fallsare reached. A search in the bush justat the, right of these will reveal a steepblazed track which in about 20 minutesleads to a site for a- camp, which shouldbn reached about five or six hours fromthe sound

The glacier is not far above the camp,and is easily reached bv following up theside of the stream. The best views, ofthe glacier and the magnificent, Herbertice-falls above are obtained by climbingup the steep snow grass slopes ahead.1 wo side creeks arc first crossed, andjust above the second (and nearly oppositethe end of tho glacier) a scrubbed trailwill be found leading up the steep slopes.To get on to this trail it is necessaryto stand on a few stones at the foot ofa cliff about six or eight feet nighBeyond this trail keep on up and to theleft (facing the hillside) rather than ' ithe right. There is plenty of long snow-grass to ' hang oil to, and it is worthwhile tying a few knots in this to serveas a guide for the return. Some distancehigher up the snowgrass slopes give wayto a rock-»trewn piattorm extending out

to llii! i and , higher up .still isu great snow basin which extends up toMount Madeline. It -stout slicks and arope are taken the party may go farenough up this snowlieid to look over intoTutoko Creek, which joins the Holiylordin tiie vicinity of the Hidden kalis. 1 liepoint from which t his creek can Vie seenlies in a south-westerly direction acrossthe snowfiold and is rather less than7000ft in height. It can be reached inabout two hours from the bivouac men-tioned hereafter or four lo five hoursfrom to it camp below the glacier, and itis situated to the right (or south) of arooky point seen east of the snowlieidus one climbs up it. At the head oiTutoko Creek is Lake 'I timer, and thecamulc known as Turner's Kail (150011).The lake cannot be far from a northerntributary of Moraine Creek, although thereis a high, rocky ridge between. TutokoCreek, is really a misnomer, for thecreek is really some distance from MountTutoko, hut from the Hollyfovd Valley itappears to come from the direction ofMount Tutoko and this probably accountsfor the name.

Some day, no doubt, there will heup on this rocky platform an alpine-hut whence people may make theeasy ascent of Mount Madeline and lookover into the Lower Hollyfovd and LakeAlabaster. There is said to bo an excel-lent place here, at a height of two orthree hundred feet above 5000 for a.bivouac, where one huge rock rests uponanother, enclosing a space large enoughto accommodate a small alpine tent. Thisspot can be reached in two or three hoursfrom the camp below the glacier, and itis not far below the great snow plateau.The ascent of Mount Tutoko from thisquarter is much more difficult than thatof Mount Madeline, hut it should befeasible at the right season of the yearto climb round the steep snow slopesaboVe the Age Glacier, starting from thesaddle between - Madeline and Tutoko.

Before ’’returning to the sound a fewhours should bo spout in visiting thohead of the main Tutoko Valley. It isnecessary then to crass back to the westside of the river, and a little judgmentis required to find the best ford, some-where below the Leader Greek junction.A careful search in the hush on thowest side near the river and a littleabove the junction will reveal a scantilyblazed trail leading up through the hushto the more, open parts in tho . head ofthe valley, which can be reached in lessthan an hour. In the left-hand cornerat the head is the snow couloir whichwas first climbed by Mr W. G. Graveand party in January, 1898. Furtherto the loft of this is a high peak forwhich is proposed the name of MountGrave, in recognition of the work of thisindomitable leader of many exploringparties in this district. Grave’s couloir iseasily distinguished by its length and bythe great snowfield overhanging it andstretching away to the north. MountGrave is likewise a prominent featurefrom many points of view, notably fromGertrude Saddle. It is to he hoped thata proper track will soon be made up theTutoko Valley, and a hut erected at aconvenient spot, so that tho gorgeousscenery there may he brought within easyreach of visitors to Milford Sound.

QUEENSTOWN NOTES.

(From Ocr Own Correspondent.)

QUEENSTOWN, June 25Up till to-day, when there came a change,

the weather has boon wonderfully 'mild andopen. The past week has been just, likeearly spring—warm sunshine with little orno frost. This morning light rain set. in.and it. has ecintiruied in an intermittentdrizzle throughout the day. There hasbeen a little snow on the lops also. Thesheepmen say they -.visa it had come agood bit lower down so as lo form anatural boundary for their flocks. In themeantime they have a good many menemployed keeping them off tho high levels 1leet tney bo caught should a snowstormcome. Two rears ago we had one ofthe worst visitations of tho kind everexperienced in tho district. On tho nightof June 22 a heavy fall came right downon the flats, and exactly a week later itwas followed by a still heavier snowstorm,resulting in big mortality among Ihe (looksin some of the less favoured localities.But we do not expect, anything of suchseverity again for some years—at least, wopray not.

Interest in golf continues here at a highpitch, and AVednesday afternoons promiseto become nearly us popular as Saturdaysfor regular play Raturdav not Iteingthe universal half-holiday rather .cuts nnsport. Especially is this so wilh footballand golf, and the best has just to bo madeof the existing conditions. The LudvBclpor badges continue to invest local golfwith a special interest. On last matchday Captain L. Robertson defated Air L.J. Lynch, president of the chib, (bus be-coming the holder of the men’s badge.Mies Warren, who recently won the ladies’badgo from Mrs L. Robertson, still holdsit by default from Miss Tomkics. SisterM'Riie (lake County Hospital) has issuedMiss Warren a challenge for Saturday next.Prizes are usually given each week forthe various other competitions that lirearranged. Tho revival of golf in Queens-town three seasons ago has certainly beenfully justified, for the club is in a muchstronger position nmnoricallv and financiallythan it was 1 in before tho war. Over adozen of the members accepted the invita-tion of the Cromwell Club lo be presentat their annual hall, whiclf was held lastnight. They i eport. having received groathospitality and a. royal time.

The interest in football is weekly becom-ing keener among the district teams. Asfar ns the seniors are concerned, it is a■triangular business tin’s year, as Glcnorchvhas not put a team in the field. Thehonours, therefore, are being fought forbv Queenrtown, Arrowtown, and CountryPirates. On Saturday an Arrowtown fif-teen bent Country Pirates. 9—6, after ahardly-fought game. Next week-cudQueenstown and Arrow will meet, on thelocal ground, when probably ihc most mforesting match plaved this season will tabuplace. Local enthusiasts have missed «.

lot of fun during' the past three yearsowing to tho Recreation Reserve beingclosed for improvements. Any match thatin the ordinary course of things would haveboon played in Queenstown have had to lx>taken to' Frnnkton. It is a matter forcongratulation, therefore, that the reserveis open once more.

Basket ball is being taken n r > by -theoiris of the local school, and a recent matcharranged with tho Arrowtown School re-sulted in a win for the former by 18 to 4.It is hoped to continue the competitionsthroughout the season.

The old beacon which hra done duty e'tho entrance to the QiiccusUo, n liny liesnow been dismantled, and a line of ironpoles carries electric current from the muni•cipa! hydro-electric system from the pointof the park to where the beacon. v. ith itsacetylene plant, stood. , Both of the lattei—that i?. the wooden structure and the gasplant—were done, hence the innovation.

A meeting of the creditors in the bank-rupt estate of Margaret Dain.g Lawrcnc".of Dunedin, and late proprietress _of Pal-myra House boarding establishment.Queenstown, took place in the local courtbouse yesterday afternoon. Mr ThomasDavidson was voted to the chair. A ctefe-rn opt showed the liabilities to unsecuredcreditors to bo about £T2O. There wasone secured creditor (£7O). The assetswere nil. Bankrupt w Tas not- present,owing, it. was said, to .the illness of he-husband. She sot out the main reasonsfor hor failure as being a wot season in1923-24 and the railway strike at Paster,1934. .Several questions were asked, andit was ultimately resolved, to adjourn themeeting till July 7. when the Bankrupt willhe required to attend.

Mr Fred Waite, official organiser for theReform League, arrived in Queenstown lastnight on business. Ho will proceed to-morrow to Cromwell, on bis n- to Rox-burgh,. where a meeting of the, supportersof tbe Reform Party will be held at 2 p.m.on Saturday.

MrW. M. Hogg (Duneilin), by beating theredoubtable Taicri veteran, W. Carswell,in the two final games, added his mime tothe list of prominent, players who havefigured in this position. Several clubs failedto find their champion within Ihe specifiedlime, and if is to he. hoped that for thefuture clubs will make it a rule U> find theirbest men well within the date fixed, andthus be represented in so important-a con-test.

According to the wishes expressed bydelegates, (he centre reverted to the systemof playing in the evenings in the four-rinkchampionship. Fifteen clubs took part.

THE THRONE OF THE UNIVERSE

Written for the Otago Daily Times,

]j■/ the Rev. D. Gardner. Miller

Is it possible that the throne of theUniverse is vacant? If occupied, who isthe occupant? The state of the world atpresent leads many to think that there isno guiding hand controlling Fromthe war-like disposition of the East to

■the latest unemployed march to TrafalgarSquare—the . latter, the most pitiful sightanyone can witness—signs are not wantingthat the idea of a kindly providence isexploded and that the universe is in theloose grip of blind chance. If there is aliving Being on the throne, how can Howitness world conditions and remain ap-parently undisturbed! Is He deaf anddumb and blind ? Many good people getout of the dilemma by declaring that thedevil is on the throne, that he is allowedto occupy that exalted position for thepurpose'of working out God’s hidden butnot unknowable plans. Vivid passagesfrom the apocalyptical writings are quotedto prove that the forces of evil arcgathering in their might, that events are'leading to Annaggedon and then God willtriumph and a new era of imimagined joyand prosperity will be ushered in. Such abelief is like morphia in the human system.It is a drug not a remedy. The uglyfacts of the modern world cannot he solvedby referring them to the future. An evilshelved is not uprooted. Many people areasking if God has gone out of business.A crude way of putting it, but like manycrude sayings it is arresting and convoysa very 'definite mental attitude. Now,the New Testament has a very straightanswer to all those who are perturbed attrhe seeming blundering methods by whichthe world of events is controlled. It statesdistinctly that

CUEIST IS ON THE THRONE.To many this may seem to make “con-

fusion worse confounded." If Christis on the throne, they why_ should theworld he full of awful anomalies! Hunger,pain, cruelty and misunderstanding ride-the clouds and pierce poor humans withtheir darts. If Christ is'hi the seat ofauthority, where is His authority? Theeternal ’ “why” of perplexed men andwomen must bombard the very gates ofHeaven. The only solution is to be foundin the fact that the authority of Christis not despotic. He cannot make menobey .Him. He cannot force His will uponthe' universe. The ruler of the universeis neither deaf nor dumb, and He cer-tainly is rot blind. He hears and He secsand He speaks. But men have the strangeand awful power, vested in them byright of their being free personalities, o ruttering “nay” and forcing the Almightyto stand outside the circle of their wills.

MAN SETS THE PACE; NOT GOD.God cannot go quicker than men allow

him. The will of God is surely penceand happiness for all, hut that, will can-not be imposed upon free moral agents.God is not indifferent to the evil hi theworld. He is in the world, fightingshoulder to shoulder with nil valiantspirits eliminating that which mars andblights. It is utterly futile for men tolift protesting hands to heaven and de-clare that God has forgotten thorn. Theremedy lies in the bands of men them-selves. Men have to decide whethermaterialism or righteousness is to bo theruling principle of their lives. Thatmaterialism has had a long innings is onlytoo apparent. Long prior to the latewar signs were not wanting that old stan-dards were being trampled upon. To-daycur feet are still encumbered with thedebris of the terrible upheaval. How isthe world to bo stabilised? Russia madethe attempt through Bolshevism. Theresult is disastrous. You cannot grow theflower of freedom from the root of sup-pression.’ In England, Communism of aparticularly invidious nature, is attempt-ing in the name of equality and freedom,to"forge new fetters upon the body politic.John Bull has no earthly use, for a. politicalmovement based upon hatred and lie isbusy stamping it out.CAN’T THE CHURCH SHOW A WAY

OUT?Can't the church show the people that

investments in materialism only lead tomoral bankruptcy! It is not a case ofthe Church having to plead for Chris-tianity. Christianity has come to stay.The need is to apply it. The centraltruth of Christianity is the “kingdom ofGod,” and this ‘‘kingdom” is the entireand absolute negation of materialism. Theworld is leadcrless. Political remedies atthe best can only grow a new skin overthe old sore. The soyo needs to bo cleanedout, and the Church can do it if she will,if she will apply herself unflinchingly tothe task. The day must come whengoodness must prevail. The mainspringof the Church's life is the belief ■ thatChrist is not dead, but that lie is aliveand seated on the throne. She is defi-nitely committed to bring in the “king-dom”—that is, to so Christianise societythat the authority of Christ will beaccepted as the determining factor in thelives of men. No one, knows what an-other year, nay, even less a time thanthat, may Bring forth in the nature ofinternational commitments and entangle-ments. In the face of all ■ the worldmisery and the anurzing possibilities offurther misery that lie at the root of amaterialistic conception of the universe,,can the church afford to wrap herself inthe gaudy hut tattered robe of obscurant-ism and solemnly drone out platitudes?Never in the history" of men has therebeen such an opportunity for the Churchto assert the rule of Christ, to call uponmen to follow righteousness and to darecliques, and Cabinets, rulers nad Powers,to again let loose the dogs of war andhatred. Christ is on the throne, bearingin his hands the sure remedy for the illsof the world. Men arc unheeding. Theydon’t look up. It is the Church’s privilegeto show men how to cultivate the upwardlopk. Christ’s kingdom must lie estab-lished or else His life was wasted on abaseless assumption.

CIVIS AND PROHIBITION.TO THE EDITOE.

Sib,—While the whole of “Civis’s” re-marks on prohibition in last week’s “Pass-ing Notes” would be most aptly describedas “bosh,” such a description would notshow in what way tney merited such con-demnation. Therefore, I will place beforeyour readers a few of Ihe most glaringerrors. First and foremost, prohibitionistswould not he “content” to win by onevote, for, knowing how foreign to thenature of the “trade” is sportsmanship, anarrow victory would never bo forgotten.Furthermore, a victory of one over twocombined issues is not such a Mini victoryas “Givis” would have as believe. 'ihefact that “Givis” continues only to findeditorials in American papers antagonisticto prohibition shows how ‘'inspired” is hissearch, since fully 90 per cent, of pressopinion in the U.S.A. is favourable toprohibition. It is as delightful to hetold first, that enforcement of the law lias“utterly fallen down” and then lie regaledIn- stories ot judges si ill trying and_ sentenc-ing’ law-breakers. To have a picture oflaw-breaking, unfaithful judges pul beforeour eyes and then be told that such devil’sdelight would obtain in New Zealand ifso carried prohibition ought to bring astrong protest, from our judicial authorities.1 was surprised to loam that the Americannation as a whole has “repudiated” pro-hibition. When did thin happen 1' Thelast opporl unitv afforded the Americannation to repudiate prohibition was some'few months ago, when a section of the

AT THE GARDENS.

THE TURX OF THE YEAK..

EXTENTS IVK EXHIBITIOX PREPARA-TIONS.

To many an inobservant oily tbvetilerNature is a)' a standstill just now, with allthe mtX’han'Ain of her marvellous labora-tories stooped, held fast iu mo grip otwinter. ]}ut that is a very mipurUviai view,and tar from the actual, facts. I 1’or theturn of the year has come, and all Natureknows it, and the wise gardener knows ittoo, and bestirs himself to meet and pre-pare for the insurgent life that even nowis beginning to break through in visibleform.

At the Botanical Gardens, winch tinderthe expert guidance of Mr D. Tannock. sotthe standard for gardeners everywhereabout Dunedin, this is by no means a slacktime; and there are u score of ways mwhich the period of comparative inactivityin plant growth can be profitably used.The chief recent stop forward at the. Gardenshas, boon the completion of the fourth pro-pagating house 56ft by 14ft, near the super-intendent’s house. Ail but a few squarefeet of it is already fully occupied, andthe superintendent is rejoicing in the nowopportunity to carry out operations forwhich until now there has been no ade-quate space. Much of tho plant prepara-tion going on in the glass houses now isfor tho Exhibition, and a groat part of thisimportant work simply wvuld beendone without tho now hon.se. Indeed, asoe sees the essential uses to which it hasbeen immediately nut one wonders howit was ever possible to aciiioyc the resultsso much admired in the Winter Gardensp.nd elsewhere with the very limited spaceavailable. The new shed is devoted atthe present time chiefly 10 geraniums andcinerarias, each having its appropriate con-ditions of temperature, humidity, and soforth skilfully supplied. The cinerariasarc coming into bloom, and will shortly bo

ready for transfer to the Win tor Garden*when tho chrysanthemums arc over. Intho next shed may bo seen basts of thrivingcalceolarias destined to adorn the. Exhibi-tion, hydrangeas, violas, and pansies, anda group of strange shrubs and alpine plantsall the way from Darjeeling. The thirdhouso contains among or her plants pom-soil.ia, balsam showing its pink flower,geraniums a stage further on and nowgrouped 20 in a box instead of 60 as theyare at first, asparagus, and hippeastrum,and not, a few others less commonly known.Particular interest attaches to a largogroup of dahlia cuttings rooting splendidlyin their pots. They arrival hero in autumnfrom Homo for the Exhibition. and -MrTannock took cuttings from them. Thecuttings have thrived beyond expectations,and in doing so have solved tho awkwan,problem of adjusting the plants to thereversal of the seasons between hero andthe other sido of tho world. , Tho originaltubers in tho next, house mostly still hearthree or four shoots suitable for cutting,hill, tho ultimate fate of the tubers (hem-

selves remains to he seen. A wido varietyof ferns preparing for th eExhihiliou i,

flower to a cigar with burnt ash at oneend. In tho fourth house primulas, am.scliizanlbus abound, ami cyclamen beginning

to bloom, heliotrope, fuchsia for the Ex-liibition, and geraniums in great abund-ance. Beyond these propagating _ housesa H-ain ftro tho" fnuno.s for hnrch'nint? oftplants before they are finally sot out intheir buds.

Over in tho arboretum, towards tho boltof big pinoa, there is a groat oruseful voting trees, among them beingash for'tho gullies of Vwiipori, other trees,for the now broad highway, ami dwarfdeciduous (lowering shrubs to replace thehigh shrubs which have mado such a solidmass of foliage on the Anderson s Bay road.On tho oilier sido of tho pine holt goodprogress is being ttkulo wiili thowhich should bo completed in a couple, olmonths’ time. A little further on, nearthe upper entrance from tho ftpoho tram,there is a large l>od of shrubs for use at(ho Exhibition. Those consist of cryp-tomorin, yews, junipers, cedars, and soforth, intended to ho put in tubs andplaced for ornamental pur|>oses among theexhibits. 'They are doing well in theirpresent sunny spot, and promise to servetheir purpose admirably. It is intei'estingto loam incidentally that Suttons, thefamous seed people, are supplying tyeoly all(ho seed required in connection with theExhibition and also the necessary labels.

At present there is only a grass pathleading from the upper entrance towardsthe kiosk, but a cinder path is shortly tobe constructed a little higher up, whichwill he very useful in damp weather. Justabout here a new border is in prove-:- otformation containing diliereia herbaceousplants, mountain lilies, and tne inleicst-ing native plants secured not very long agoat the Garvie Mountains. Thu old-estab-lished border opposite, alongside the road-line, with its cordyhues, phormnim, nstcha,and celmisias is doing very well. -■*. newborder Inus been formal for coprosnms.Down the sunny slope of the hill there is ulino, healthy, well-ordered nursery prepar-ing stocks for planting out on the cor-poration’s far-stretching reserves, 1 heroare about, a quarter ot a million trees in

Thei alive veronicas in their lengthy borderall seem in a particularly flourishing con-dition, and widely separated as tho plantswere a short while ago they appear to bothreatening to crowd one. another shortlyif they continue Iheir 'present rapid de-velopment.

In tho azalea garden many polyanthusprimroses are in healthy bloom. Bed gumsnear by from .Australia are evidently stand-ing the winter well. On the upper sideof the main pulh down from tho Khodo-dendrou Dell to tho lower gardens re-turned soldiers are busy making a newborder to hold u great variety ot herbens.This will mean that there will be a culti-vated garden almost all tho way from thelevel to the Doll. Near the group of vvork-pien a native fuchsia in flower is attractingtho attention of restless, fluttering fantailsA grove of native hooch with particularlyhandsome foliage arrests tho gaze, and,considering the.ir sturdy stature, it is sur-prising to learn that they wore planted oyMr '1 annock hi m-elf.

The glory of tho Winter Gardens justnow is the display of double chrysanthe-mums, which, however, will soon be. over.Primulas arc coming on, and cyclamen arcdisplaying their rich and exquisite colour-ing.

MENACE TO CYCLISTSINQUEST ON THE BOY BEID,

The adjourned inquiry into the circum-stances surrounding the death of JohnStewart. Bold, aged 13 years, was con-cluded at the Courthouse yesterday morn-ing. On Saturday morning last deceasedwas riding a bicycle in Uighgato, near thecorner of Driver's road, Maori Hill, andwhen just opposite a dray drawn by twohorses his machine struck an obstructionand he fell under the wheel of the dray,and received such injuries that he died onadmission to the Dunedin Hospital.

Mr J. U. Bartholomew, S.M., sat ascoroner, and Detective Beer conducted theproceedings on behalf of the police. _ MrJ. U. M. Lemon appeared on behalf ofthe relatives, and Mr H. K. Barrowcloughwatched the proceedings on behalf of theCity Corporation.

•lames Alexander MTvay, a driver for(.'aider's Quarries Syndicate, residing at2(15 North road, North-EnstValley, said thatabout !» a.in. on Saturday last he was driv-ing a dray along Highgate, Itoslyn. Thedray, which was drawn by two horses,contained metal. Witness was walkingon the left-hand side of the dray. Heheard a cry when nearing the intersectionof Driver's road and Highgate. Witnesslooked round and saw the offside wiieelpassing over the boy’s face. He wentround to the back of the dray where theboy was lying unconscious on the road,with his bicycle beside him. A man camealong the road, and said he would sendfor a motor ear, and with the assistanceof another man witness placed the boyon the footpath. The boy, who was bleed-ing at the mouth, was convoyed to theHospital almost immediately. Witnesswas driving on the left-hand side of foot-path, and although he could not sayexactly he was about ns close to the. kerb-ing as ho could get. There was no gradeat that point. The dray and load weighedabout 3icwt. He had seen nothing of theboy until he heard him cry out, and wasunder the wheel.

To Mr Barrowclough: He (witness) wasabout one foot away from the kerb at thetime of tlie accident.

William Maiden, accountant, residing atsti J’assmorc crescent, said that about 5.50a.m. on Saturday he was walking brisklyalong Highgate almost in the centre of the(ram (racks. Ho was about (iO yardsaway from where the accident occurred.The outside wheel of the dray was about ayard from the tram track. Witness saidthat the boy was in the act of falling whenhe (witness) first saw him. The boy wascoming towards him, along the tram track,and afj he fell under the wheel ho cried out.In witness’s opinion the accident was quiteunavoidable.

Koginald Smith Vinl, aged It years, re-siding with his parents at 257 Highgate,Maori IUU, said that lie was going upHighgate towards the Koslyn tram ter-minus to catch the 9 o’clock car. Tiesaw a dray being driven on the left sideof the street, close to the gutter. Witnesssaw a boy coming along on n bicycle, rid-ing between the tramrails. The boy madean attempt to turn and skidded on thecarline, and fell under the wiieel of thedray. The boy was not riding very fast,lie (the deceased) cried out, and thedriver stopped the dray and went roundto see what had happened. The dray wasgoing at a walking pace, and the driverwas walking along the road. Witnessthought deceased had turned at that pointin order to follow the road to school.The road was very frosty at the time.

To Mr Barrowclough; The deceasedusually went down llalmacewen road inorder to reach the M’Glashan College,where he was a seholar. If the hoy hadturned at a sharper angle he would haverun into one of (lie horses. The bicycleand the boy fell together; lie did notfall (dear of the bicycle.

Dr Charles I'. Bead, junior housesurgeon, liuiiedin Hospital, said that about9.b a.m. on Saturday last he saw deceasedwho was then dead. He had several lace-rations about the face and had sustaineda fracture of the skull. The injuries weresullicieiit to have caused the death of thehoy. They would lie consistent with thewheel of a dray passing over (lie boy.. -

Heleelive Fari]iiharson said that, about11.::0 a.m. on Saturday last he examined(he scene of the accident, and as Hie resultof his examination he had taken measure-ments from which lie had drawn a plan(produced). Witness ((noted measure-ments which showed (dearly that (lie boyhad skidded and fallen as described byprevious witnesses. The front wheel ofthe boy’s bicycle showed a distinct rubbingon the right-hand side of the tyre. Theleft-hand handle was bent right in, and(he handle shank was also heat.

To Mr llarrowclongh: There was a markon (he left-hand edge of the rail whicheon! inned for a distance of lift fiin. A( theend of the skid there was a distinct markat the top of the rail such ns would becaused by a bicycle •riding” the rail atthat spot.

James Alexander M’Kay (recalled) saidthat after the accident the boy was lyingat an angle towards the rails.

The Coroner, in reviewing the deposi-tions, said that it was a particularly sadaccident. The deceased was riding be-tween the tram rails in Highgate to MaoriHill, and the dray was approachingin the opposite direction. When all lintopposite the dray the bicycle apparentlyskidded, with the result that the lad wasthrown with his head under the wheel of(he dray. As to how the hoy had cometo fall was partly a matter for conjec-ture. It was uncertain (hat the boy hadintended to turn at the spot where Hieaccident occurred, and, of course, the boyVial’s evidence that Hie deceased hadturned in order to go down the road toschool, was purely conjecture. The ex-planation that lie had skidded on the raisedrail was the more probable one.

“I have made an inspection of Hielocality,” said tin* Coroner, "and in partsthe Maori Hill tramline is in a dangerouscondition, and particularly so for cyclistsriding between the rails, which is a com-mon practice. In many parts between therails the surface of the road is worn awayfor unite a considerable distance, and thelines project. There is no danger forcyclists greater than projecting rails.The road outside (ho rails is much betterthan the inside and this is (he case ina number of localities. It is not sur-prising that accidents occur to cyclists.”

Mr Bartholomew returned a verdict thatdeceased’s death was due to a fracturedskull through being crushed by a drayafter accidentally fulling from a bicycleat Maori Hill on June 20.

At the Magistrate’s Court, Kaitangata,on Thursday, before Mr H. J. Dixon, S.M.,two cases were heard arising out of anaccident to a minor named William Parkon .May 25, whereby the latter sustaineda broken leg as the result of a fall ofcoal.

Daniel Wilson, undorviewer, was chargedwith (1) being deputy in charge, failing toexamine the working place of Park and•Mackie, where the accident occurred, and(2) with failing to see that the men weresafe before they went to their place in themine.

Nisbet Mackie was charged with failingto set sprags before commencing to holeor undermine in No. 2 inino on May 25.The charges were taken together. MrGeorge Duggan, Inspector of Mines, pro-secuted, and Mr Grigor appeared for Wilsonand Mr Stewart, for Mackie, who entered apica of not guilty.

Evidence for the prosecution was givenby frirpeelor Duggan, John Mackie, FredCarson (mine manager), and Nisbet MackieMr Stewart, called William Park (the victimof tbo accident), Nisbet Mackie, and JamesSim.

Mr Grigor intimated that he would callno evidence, but would depend upon theweakness of the prosecution, who. ho sub-mitted, had failed to make out a priinafacie case.

His Worship held that Wilson had notcommitted a breach of the Act, and hadjust happened to arrive at the place at(ho time of the accident to Park. The in-formation against Wilson would thereforebo dismissed. In Maekie’s case his Wor-ship held that (here was extenuation inthat spragging was not customary in theKaita.ngata mine, but he had been negligentand would be convicted and fined ss, withcosts (Vs).

White apjavirod for Appleby andM'Beath, and Mr R. S. Brcmncr for Milne,

Mr White stated that the camera wasstolen by Milne while he was under theinfluence of liquor. Counsel suggested thatthe charge against Appleby in respect tothe grapes should be dismissed as trivial,and that convictions should be enteredagainst the others. The accused had slatedthat they had had about three bunches otgrapes each, so that tho value of tho fruitstolen would bo about 15s.

Detective Beer, who represented thepolice, said that tho value of tho grapeswas £52 10a as far as could bo estiinatcd.Mr Sidey had not had any grapes thisseason as a result of (he action of tho ac-cused, who broke into the vinery throughtho skylight. He thought the accused shouldbe ordered to make restitution. Milne hadboon sentenced to three years' reformativedetention, and the others had been ad-mitted to probation. Tho camera was stolenin tho early hours of tho morning, but ithad been recovered in good condition. Thedamage to the motor car had not beenmade good.

Mr Brernner said that Milne had no meansto make restitution.

Detective Beer said the accused had beena. source of annoyance for some time, andit would assist (lie police if the gang wasbroken up completely.

His Worship ordered Milne to make goodthe damage clone (o tho motor car, withthe alternative of seven days’ imprison-ment, M'Beath was convicted on the chargeof stealing the camera, and an order wasmade that the instrument bo returned to itsowner.

EARLY FOOTBALL IN WAIKOU-AITI.

By Donald Mallocii.To those who have been associated v. it i

sport ifi their younger days there is acharm and fascination m delving into an-cient history and reviving old-time memoriesof The days when life was young and worldlycares rested lightly on one’s shoulders. Mythought drift back to a wintry afternoonin the month of July, 1886—39 years ago—-when the first football match was playedin Waikouaiti. An account of the matchmay bring back to the old-timers manysimilar experiences in their day, andthe present day footballers it will showwhat marked progress football has madecompared to the Rugby played in thosetar off days. Unfortunately no records oreavailable, but being then at an impression-able age, I have a clear recollection ofmany of the amusing incidents that hap-pened in that match. A schoolboys match,Palmerston School versus WaikouaitiSchool, was really the first match playedin Waikouaiti. This match was played in‘The swamp” on a small area of clearedground at the northern end of_ the race-course. CHir present day recreation groundin those days was locally and appropriatelyknown as “the swamp,” A considerablearea, covered in rushes and Maori heads,was still in its native state, and the hauntof wildfowl. Its drainage at that timewas only-at the experimental stage, withthe result that in'-winter after an ordinaryrainfall, the playing area became a sheetof water. .It justly earned the bad reputa-tion it had with visiting footballers.To-day thanks to the progressivepolicy of a sympathetic Domain Board,we can boast of one of the bestturfed football grounds in Otago. In thosedays a referee and two umpires controlledthe game, and in the schoolboys’ matenD. K, Rhodes officiated as referee and BobScott, with Allan Orbell, were the um-pires. The match attracted quite a numberof spectators. To some it aroused a keendesire to again renew their love for the oldgame, and to others, who had never played,a desire equally as keen to join in withthem. These wishes soon materialised, asa challenge from the Palmerston dub toplay a match the following Saturday waseagerly accepted.

The Palmerston Club was formed in 1885,but I do not remember if they had playedany matches previous to this one. The daybefore the match . a heavy fall of < snow,which made play quite impossible in theswamp, necessitated a harried inspection ofvarious likely grounds, the decision beingin favour of MXJarry’s paddock, Coal postswere hurriedly erected and the touch linespegged off, as there was no time to chipthorn. The ground was in a fearful state.A thaw set in and small rivulets, runningdown the hillside* converged into a blindcreek, which ran east to west in the centreof the ground, and varied in depth fromone to thn*e feet. The Palmerston team,which arrived by drag, created .an im-pression akin to awe, as they marched on tothe field in their red jerseys, redstockings, and white pants, among the largenumber of spectators who hud rolled upfrom fur and near to witness their firstfootball match. I did not know many ofthe Palmerston players, but can rememberTed O'Neill, Tom Conn, Chris Conn, DonMacLeod, Jack Porteous, Andy Dreaver,Tom Hamilton, .tack Mitchell, and DaveFleming. They were good sports, ami inlater years developed into tine, players.

T'he Waikouaiti foam was chosen on theground from amongst the spectators, andon looking hack it is difficult to picture,a more nondescript team that lined outthat day to uphold the honour of Wni-koualti. All jerseys were of a differentcolour, while some men played in- theireveryday clothes. It is interesting torecall their names. Harry Auckland, wholearned “his football at Cambridge, X). K.Rhodes, an oi l Otago rep. of the middle'seventies, Allan Orholl. fresh from LincolnCollege'and a great sport in his day; BobScott, an old Ktonian and one of our bestall-round athletes; Dr Mill, then a, studentat the 'Varsity; Jim Mill, from the HighSchool, who could run" like a deerßohTempleton, who limped for a fortnightafterwards with skinned heels throughplaying in a pair of tight shoes; H. Hilton,on the local staff of the Bank of New Zea-land and who wielded a line bat for thelocal eleven; Bill White, who seriouslysuggested that someone should read therules over to ■ them before they started;Harry Uertslet, who rode down from Bal-lingdon Station, now known as Kaitoa, onold Te Kooti, a station horse. (He un-hooked his spurs and played in his knee-high riding boots) ; Bill Diack, who lateron was to pot many goals for the UnionClub; I’eter 8011, the only local referee wenow possess; Alee. Aiteheson, a I-l-sloner;and Theodore Morrison, a keen sport whoseinclusion was an eleventh hour one.

On lining out it was discovered thatWaikouaiti was still one man short, andTheodore, who came, strolling on Ineground with an axe and u spado on Insshoulder, from “stumping” in tho bushon Mount lialdhead, on being asked if howould have a game, readily, consented.Heaving his implements into a gor.se hush,ho lined up with the forwards in his mole-skins and dungaree jacket. I played withtho High School juniors at tho time, aknowledge of the rules being my qualifica-tion for inclusion in the team.

Palmerston won by two trios to nil, andwo were lucky in escaping so lightly. D.K. Khodes insisted on playing only twothree-quarters—the Otago hack formationof tho ’seventies. This loft Tom Hamilton,a burly blacksmith at Mount Royal, anda powerful runner, playing on tho left wingunmarked, which enabled him to score twofine tries, 1 cannot rememlier who con-trolled the game, or if anyone did; but Ihave a dim recollection that Jim Grantand a Mr Smeaton, who were teachers atthe Palmerston School and did a lot forPalmerston football at Ibis period, mayhave officiated. Whoever they were musthave had an unenviable ta.sk, and hadthey possessed the authority of thoReferee to-day, half the tenrn_ wouldhave viewed tho end of iho* matchfrom the touch-line. The playersharangued and argued with each otherthroughout the game, and frequently inlanguage that you would not hear in adrawing room—at least, in the drawingrooms of those days. This was diffienltto account for, ns the game was playedin a friendly spirit, and no ill-temper wasshown. They were all lino fellows—sonsof the old pioneers—and in general con-versation rarely, or ever, used a swearword. In Die stress and excitement, ofthe game their language, at times, waslike that of Bret llnrte’s Chinaman, “fre-quent and painful and free.” Traditionhath it that the air was blue on the Fieldof Flanders, when Marlborough's soldiersfought. That afternoon. in MTiarry’spaddock, the atmosphere in the vicinity ofsome of tho scrums, had the same bluishtinge. A present-day psychologist may lieable to explain the lapse. The scrumswere always a danger zone, for the for-wards kicked like Soeecrit.es, Waikouaitibeing the bigger quiprits. I can remem-ber one of our hefty forwards in a loosescrum. Kicking his hardest—first rightfoot, then left foot, with a hiss accom ;panying each kick, on behold toiii hjPalmerston players to stop kicking sohard, he replied, still kicking: “What thep—i did you come down for if you can'tgland a bit of kicking.” When a playersecured the ball he clung to it as if it wasa liver, parting with it only when he, wasoverwhelmed, or when it was wrenchedaway from him. One shudders to thinkof what his fate would be at the hands ofa present-day football assemblage. Fu-doubtedly he would he classed as a selfishplayer by football senbos to-day.

Owing, perhaps, to the conditions thatprevailed and the. state of the ground, noplayer showed any outstanding ability.Amongst the forwards, however. HarryHertslet was always prominent if a scrumhappened to ho formed in the vicinity ofthe watercourse, which was still rising.Seizing tho bull, and shouting, “Come on,boys, serum over here in the creek,” hewould head a procession of forwards totho deepest part he. could find, and, onputting it down, the players, gatheringround, would pur, the boot in for all theywere worth. Tiro miniature geysers thatshot upwards quite obscured the players,and afforded great amusement to the spec-tators.

This mstch is still locally known as thegame in the snow, but it .served to estab-lish football in Waikouaiti. A mootingwas called for the following week to forma club, but T cannot remember very muchof the business that Lranopiml at this meet-ing, It was held in Mr While's saddlerysh or). Air Harry Buckland occupying thechair. Lilian Clrboll was elected captain,and the colours chosen were blue and white—the High School colours. 1 rememberwell Air Hilton bringing a complaint beforethe meeting from Air Woolley, the thenlicensee of the Railway Hotel, that thePalmerston players, in chairing theirsaturated togs after the match, had lofthis bedroom in n disgraceful state. Ashe had failed to gel any redress from thePalmerston players, he looked to the localclub lo make good the damage. TheWaikouaiti Club, however, did not see whvthey should he made responsible forPalmerston's misdeeds, tur.i the lengthydiscussion which ensued was brought to ahead try Mr Harry Hertslet. a great sportand ns great a wag, xrroposing that the

AVaikoiiniti players .should do the same tothe Palmerston hotelkeepers "whoa they

next went (here to play. This met withthe entire approval of the meeting,' hutafforded poor consular ioo to old AirWoolley. For long after it was to him afrequent topic of < onversation, whichfrequently wound up with this remark.“And they call this football.’’

Tho return match was played early in jbut owbip my father s death |

ar that, time 1 did not see the match, andknow very little about it. Waikouaitiwon by tliroe points to nil, Allan Orbellscoring the try. 1211iston Orbell, fromChrist’s College, ami Jack Aitchcson, JimDunbar, and Neil Stewart, three local re-emits, played in this match. During thegame Theodore caused some amusement byinviting one of the Palmerston players‘•to put up his looks/ 1 Those were theonly matches played in 18S(>, and thejwore the introduction of football into \Vai-kouaiti. # ,

Waikouaiti became affiliated to the

Rugby Union in 1860, and in the two yearsinterval a few matches were played, whichenabled (he players to acquire a betterknowledge of the game. The club’s I'.icni-

bership, which greatly increased, includeda number of Maoris from I’uketeraki, whowere great enthusiasts. On two occasions,

combined with the Natives at Otago Heaus,

who rowed over in a whaleboat, they camewith their barrnekers in full force to dobattle with 'Waikouaiti on the footballfield These games were played on theIsland Farm, the pake.has and Maoris eachwinning one. Included in the Maori teamwere the Tainroa brothers, George, Harper,ami Johnny; Faretui Brothers, GeorgeParker, Harry Parker, Thxsie, Harry I ratt.Jack Matthews, Donald MacDonald, Ja™Lloyd, Jack Antonie, Sam Antonie, HobCaptain, Davey Kaikolao, Dan Miron,and BaJdy Ashwell. 1 ,lrstmatch will always be remembered on ao-cannt of its comical opening. Early ln tne

second spell the ball burst As there wasno other to be had, and the bladder wasbey cod repair, it, was agreed, after a shortdiscussion, to play the game out in avery short time the ball was as Junpos a rag and could, with ease bo clutchedin one hand. Nevertholees, as agreed, thegame was played on and strenuously con-tested until tile final whistle went. \ ividin mv memory is Jack Aitchcson, a (all,muscular fellow, standing 6ft 2in, P a'I' n Sin his working clothes. Catching the ballin his left hand, as ho would a handkerchicl,in the lino out ho put it behind his back,and standing his ground, fended his oppon-ents off with vigorous thrusts. Jack An-tonie snored a try in t-nis mate-b, and InoMajor” still remembei-s with pride his runthat day with the ball crumpled up in hisleft hand. Ncedlees to say the kick at goalwas a failure. The spectators saw a lot toamuse them, but the players did not seethe funny side of it until the game wasconcluded. The majority of the Maoriplayers have long since gone totheir long rest, and of the \vui-kouaiti players, Harry BiuikJandAllan Orbell, Dr Mill, Jim Mill, Jim Dun-bar, Harry Hertslet, Jack Aitcheson, D.K. Rhodes, and Theodore Morrison havealso stepped over the western border. Finefollows all. and great sports. Those of uswho knew them cherish pleasant memories.With no one to coach and a scarcity ofmatches football then was very crude, butit. greatly improved when town teams beganto visit us. Country football then was notcatered for so liberally by the RugbyUnion as it is to-day. Wo neverthelessgot. a lot of enjoyment cut of our games,and, despite its roughness, accidents weresurprisingly few. In our armchairs andover a pipe we still got a good deal ofenjoyment in playing the games over again.Forty years hence a change in our socialcustoms may be enforced on us: but Ihope that present-day footballers, in theirarmchairs and over thoir manuka hark andAmerican beverages, will have as pleasantfootball reminiscences as the old-1inters havewho played football 40 years ago.

ADVANCES TO ‘FARMERS.TO THE EDITOR.

•- fill!',—There are several mailers in yourmore recent issues of outstanding interestto farmer readers. It is gratifying toobserve Ihe interest taken in the Govern-ment Advances Department. Mr Jones(joints out imjt there is no cheap money

available nowadays. Ho shows the far-mers a way, however, to obtain cheapermoney, and says that the whole commu-nity will benefit. This recognition of thedebt duo to the backbone industry is worthhearing in mind when we come to considerthe outcome of the proposal put forwardby Mr Begg mid endorsed by many othersin financial circles. Air Begg s argumentrtst.s on promises of a doubtful nature:—■

1. That (here is eonunimiiy value attachedto the loans granted to farmers and othersbv the Government Advances Department.

'g, That the r ile of interest now currentis quite reasonable, mid admits of profitableborrowing by farmers.

With reference to No. 1, the loans ad-vanced by ihe Government Department tofarmers ate secured on private individualsecurity, with an ample margin of safelyas has been thoroughly proved and tested.J’he individual is responsible for the losses.'I h,> margin of security amply protects thedepartment. To whose credit, (hen, shouldthe gains accrue if not to the mortgagee./\ limited number of sales of land carryingGovernment loans have been made, and AirItcgg suggests that, the “public credit hasbeen capitalised and sold also. If (bopublic, credit was jeopardised there wouldbe community value, hut there cannot becommunity value where flu l individual car-ries the whole risk, and the outcome hasproved a national benefit.

With regard to No. 2, to quote MrJones: •‘.Many of our insurance and otherbig lending institutions to-day are invest-.ing in all kinds of local bodyloans at moderate rates of interest, ’ etc.The trend of Air Jones's art ides must boConstrued to mean the advocacy of furtherorganisation, to induce the investment ofcapital, at a moderate rate of interest, :nfarm land securities, on the amortisationprinciple. I do not require, therefore, togo beyond this to establish the nusound-ness of Air Begg's premises. If tly needexists, then the present rate of interestlo farmers is too high.

The suggestion lias been made to makeGovonimoni Advances Department loansnon-transferable. There are a , few pointsto be observed here. The individual (far-mer] mortagee is wrongfully considered tobe indebted to the community. Freshmortgages have to be made out becausethere will have to be a fresh loan. _ A dis-turbance lakes place in the financial onr-ren(-—needlessly. No fresh eorbal bcreated.

FRUIT SHIPMENTS.TO THE EDITOR.

SIE, —Otago shippers of fruit will haveboon interested in your report from Londonas to the general excellence of this season'sNow Zealand apples. We are particularlyinterested in the remarks r 0 Bradford, andwould point out that as far as we cangather Otago has been responsible for thefirst direct consignments to that market.Tito credit for the initial steps in this direc-tion must he given to Air J. N. Fox, oftlipponvale, Cromwell, who with the assist-ance of the Otago Fruitgrowers’ Council,forwarded the first consignment to Messrs\V. V.

Speaking j.t the Manawatu Winter Showsocial, Mr ,f. Lam'bie, acting British TradeUommissionor in Now Zealand, referred to

the necessty of developing the marker: inBritain for'tan dominion’s primary produce.At the present time, he 'said, unemploy-

ment was a very serious problem in (he

United Kingdom, there being, accordingto the latest advices, nearly 1,300,000 -out otwork. The exports of the dominion werenot luxuries, although the high ip'utlity ot

our products made them delicacies,. o\vingto unemplovinenc the people s spendingpower was 'reduced, and they could not

afford in. many cases to buy butter. It wasin the interests of the New Zealand pio-neers to do what they could to improvethe position in Britain, ami thereby im-prove and develop the demand for NewZealand produce. Much could be done bythe people of Now Zealand buying “allBritish” goods. That would help rnatcnallyto increase British trade and provide em-ployment, and the natural result would bea, greater demand for om* products.
